The “Doomsday Clock” has been around since 1947, and it is rapidly moving toward 12:00 Midnight as temperaments and patience seem to be razor-thin throughout the world. In January of this year, The “Doomsday Clock” was moved-up two minutes to reflect the concern in regard global terrorism - and the recent news from NATO and Russia hadn’t even been taken into consideration yet: Doomsday Clock set forward by two minutes Updated Thu. Jan. 18 2007 8:01 AM ET CTV.ca News Staff According to a group of elite nuclear scientists, the world has moved closer to Armageddon. The scientists have moved the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight to reflect the growing concerns of global terrorism, the unchecked nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea and — in a first — the threat of climate change. The clock was first set 60 years ago by an elite group of nuclear scientists at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, shortly after the United States dropped its atomic bombs on Japan. It was meant to symbolize the perils facing humanity from nuclear weapons. But for the first time, the clock is also registering the threat of global warming, which they call a “second nuclear age.” MORE On January 22, 2008, this story came-out in regard NATO’s belief that they should be allowed the capability to use nuclear weapons in preemptive strikes:

http://justanothercoverup.com/ I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/
