Important Update:
SADM was also used as the warhead on the short-range
Davy Crockett
Anti-Personnel shell. Stockpiled W54 warheads were
test fired at the Nevada Test Site on July 7 and 17,
1962. In Little Feller II on July 7, the warhead was
suspended on cables about three feet above the ground
(yield was 22 tons). In Little Feller I on July 17, a
Davy Crockett was fired from a stationary 155
millimeter launcher (in tandem with simulated
battlefield maneuvers under Operation IVY FLATS) and
detonated about 20 feet above the ground at a distance
of 9,357 feet (1.7 miles) from the launch point (yield
was 18 tons). This test, the last atmospheric
detonation at the Nevada Test Site, was observed by
Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and presidential
adviser General Maxwell D. Taylor. Footage of
Operation IVY FLATS was declassified by the Department
of Energy on December 22, 1997.
Readers should note the report below providing
operational details of SADM, was first published in
June 1993, four years before declassification.
The mega-blast
in the City of London in 1993 was the third in just
over a year to warrant a permanent place on the
Richter Scale. This bomb and others in London and the
New York World Trade Centre all shared three common
features: Each mega-bomb was detonated in a
high-profile business district, each left few if any
scorch marks, and the resulting shock-blast on all
three occasions exceeded by far the normal explosive
and logistic capabilities of any existing, known
"terrorist" organization.
The
establishment media recently suggested the World Trade
Centre bomb was "home made" and placed in an
underground car park by a blind Islamic militant from
New Jersey. The claim was ludicrous, because the
shock-blast needed to rip through seven floors of
reinforced concrete car park, cannot be generated by
components purchased over the counter at a chemical
warehouse.
On 23 March,
Tom Valentine of Radio Free America interviewed
veteran nuclear physicist Galen Winsor, who said the
blast was not caused by a low-yield conventional
explosive charge. Galen Winsor went much further than
this. "I'm sure it was just exactly what John McPhee
predicted 20 years ago in his book, The Curve of
Binding Energy" he said, "where McPhee quoted Theodore
B. Taylor, a theoretical physicist out of Los Alamos,
who said that someone someday was going to blow up the
World Trade Centre with a small nuclear device, the
size of a stick of gum." Winsor continued, "McPhee's
book was published in 1975, although the prediction
first appeared in the New Yorker magazine in 1973.
Taylor worked in the area of the micronization of
nuclear weapons, in other words making nuclear weapons
small enough so the Israelis could carry them around
in a briefcase."
At first glance
the thought of micronized nuclear weapons being used
in major cities seems absurd, but there is now
considerable evidence indicating strongly that small
nuclear devices were also responsible for the two
massive London blasts. In London both mega-bombs were
detonated at or below street level, but still
generated massive shock-blasts. Here the finger was
pointed at the IRA but the propaganda value of the
isolated bomb blasts is questionable, and the IRA has
no record of bombing high profile business centers.
Media use of
IRA code-words in London to "authenticate" both
mega-bomb blasts means nothing: The establishment
media in London can whistle up five or more IRA code
words in a matter of seconds if the mood takes it.
There is another drawback where the IRA is concerned,
which is its ability to obtain and import huge volumes
of high explosive. If the media is to be believed, the
IRA, normally incapable of smuggling guns to the
mainland, apparently imported at least two tons of
high explosive in less than eighteen months. Sniffer
dogs at UK ports are famous for their ability to
detect marijuana in quantities as low as two ounces.
The same dogs are also trained to sniff for
explosives.
When the first
London bomb exploded on the night of the British
General Election in April 1992, the police were lured
away from the site by a "known IRA code word". There
is no IRA track record of such deception.
Traditionally the IRA either provides British
authorities with an accurate warning, or it provides
no warning at all. Further, the IRA does not normally
waste vast quantities of explosive where it will cause
virtually no injuries. Backing up the non-IRA sequence
of events were eyewitness reports from a range of more
than three miles, which were chilling.
"The ground shook under our feet. There was a
brilliant white flash and a tall vertical column of
smoke." Powerful modern high explosives do not flash
brilliant white at all, but critical nuclear devices
certainly do. Nuclear devices also send out
near-instantaneous seismic shock waves that ripple
underground for miles, shaking the ground severely."
In what may
have been the greatest Freudian slip of the nineties,
the British Government claimed the weight of the first
bomb was 45 kilograms, a puny weight in conventional
explosive terms, but the exact weight of the small
atomic shell fired by NATO's 155mm FH-70 L/39 long
range gun-howitzer. Two nuclear physicists in
Australia confirmed the 155mm gun's core nuclear
device would measure no more than three inches in
diameter. Those physicist's April 1992 opinions were
considerably reinforced during March 1993 by Galen
Winsor, when he pointed out:" The model of a miniature
nuclear bomb that I have which is 2 3/4 inches in
length, was made from 94 per cent pure Pu-239
[Plutonium]. This is actually a lot bigger than the
Israeli briefcase bombs."
Until now few
members of the public have been aware how small modern
micronized nuclear devices really are, or the way in
which their explosive yield is tightly controlled. One
device that has been around since the seventies is the
American SADM (Special Atomic Demolition Munition),
which is carried by a single soldier and used to
create behind-the-lines mayhem for the enemy. SADM is
tiny and lethally efficient: its tightly controlled
0.01 kiloton atomic yield generating the same
explosive blast as ten tons of TNT, from a package
small enough to send by motorcycle courier. Unluckily
for the public at large SADM also produces quantities
of localized radiation, which can be detected by
reading the ultraviolet spectrum in the immediate
vicinity of the blast, but few workers in London or
New York have access to the scientific equipment
needed for such specialized monitoring.
While the
British Government was busy convincing its citizens
"The IRA did it", London TV cameras were accidentally
filming a team of experts entering the blast area
wearing full nuclear protective clothing.
Extraordinary behavior from experts simply walking
around taking a quick peek at the remains of an
old-fashioned IRA bomb, traditionally manufactured
from ammonium nitrate & diesel.
Almost exactly
a year later the second London mega-bomb exploded in
the same part of the financial centre. Like the first,
damage was awesome with repair estimates running as
high as US$1 billion. Once again the obvious was
completely overlooked: repair bills from huge IRA
bombs detonated in the centre of Belfast generally
range from ten to twenty million dollars. Viewed in
dollar-damage terms alone then, each mega-bomb in
London was at least fifty times more powerful than its
crude IRA cousins across in Northern Ireland. Put
bluntly, the Irish Republican Army simply does not
have access to the technology for the London
mega-bombs.
The April 1993
bomb was supposedly detonated in a parked garbage
truck, but managed to create a huge crater in the road
that was subsequently filmed by the media: another
crucial error confirmed by independent explosives
experts in Australia. The blast from most bombs takes
the easiest path, in this case outwards then upwards
to atmosphere. The crater could only have appeared if
the bomb was dropped from an aircraft, or was buried
in advance. Forget the "garbage truck", which was
merely a decoy device. The crater is very impressive,
measuring roughly forty feet deep by sixty feet in
diameter. The media footage provides mute proof the
awesome bomb could not have originated in Northern
Ireland.
Radiation left
behind by nuclear devices, even micronized nuclear
devices, can be extremely dangerous for those forced
to work in the area after the bomb has exploded:
Probably a very good reason for the American and
British Governments to blame Islamic Militants and the
IRA respectively. For as long as the general public
remain unaware of the risk they will continue to
commute to work and happily beaver away at their
desks. If either government "went public" with the
news that nuclear devices had been detonated, there
might be widespread panic in two of the most important
business districts in the world, perhaps leading to a
complete refusal to return to work.
Worse still
would be the "run-on" effect when smaller conventional
bombs exploded at a later date. To a nervous and
jittery public, every explosion would be a potential
nuclear device with the attendant risks of radiation
poisoning. Under the harsh doctrine of the "New World
Order", it seems likely the health & lives of a few
thousand office workers would gladly be sacrificed in
order to avoid short term chaos.
During early
May 1993, ITN World News from London carried an
interesting feature in which it was explained that due
to thefts of highly-radioactive Uranium 235,
terrorists would now be able to contaminate
conventional bombs with 500 grams of Uranium, thereby
forcing the police to stay away from the area for
days. Exactly why experienced terrorists would risk
detection & death by transporting deadly unshielded
Uranium around in their pockets was not explained.
There is no credible reason for keeping the police and
other authorities away from a bombsite after the
weapon has been detonated. However, the rumor could
form the basis of a government defense in cases where
American or British citizens located positive traces
of radiation, near the World Trade Centre or in the
City of London, for example.
The question of
exactly "who" is bombing some of the largest business
centers in the world currently remains unanswered,
though the brute power of the bombs limits the
candidates. Much has been said in America about the
possible involvement of the Israeli intelligence
service, Mossad, but the only hard evidence pointing
in its direction are the two London bombs exploding on
a Saturday: the Jewish Sabbath. While this would
certainly have limited the number of possible deaths
among Jewish business staff in the City of London, the
timings might be coincidental.
Most likely the question of "who" will never be
answered. The self-appointed "New World Order" has
imposed its draconian will on a large number of
resentful countries in a very short period of time,
evidently wishing to change the world into a great,
peaceful, American-led democratic environment. Perhaps
one similar to that existing in Los Angeles after the
first Rodney King verdict was handed down.
Any one of a
dozen different countries with a grudge against the
"New World Order" could be responsible for the bombs
if it managed to buy or manufacture micronized nuclear
weapons. Most frightening of all is the reality that
America and Britain are utterly powerless to resist
attacks of this kind. Though their intelligence
services have computers full of Islamic and IRA
suspect's names, those names are worthless if the
attacks are being launched by another nation, as
appears to be the case. There is no way in the world
the American or British police can hope to detect a
complete stranger with a briefcase bomb among tens of
thousands of other citizens with briefcases, in two of
the most densely populated western cities on earth.
The most compelling question is when the bombers are
going to remove the kid gloves and place one of these
devices in Time Square or Piccadilly Circus during the
rush hour.
American
nuclear physicist Galen Winsor claimed the bomb
planted in the World Trade Centre was incorrectly
placed: " They intended to topple one tower of the
World Trade Centre into the other tower and take out
[kill] more than fifty thousand people." On the
available evidence it seems the aspirations of a small
arrogant bunch of men who decided to impose a "New
World Order'" on a host of very unwilling small
sovereign nations, did not think the exercise through
to its perhaps inevitable conclusion. Those same
arrogant men have placed tens of millions of citizens
at risk because of their own gross incompetence and
thirst for absolute power. The "New World Order" now
seems set to face the unbridled wrath of large numbers
of citizens for many years to come.
