Why???

The Pentagon’s New Nuclear Gravity Bomb

Federation of American Scientists

The United States successfully completed testing of the newest addition to its nuclear arsenal — the B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb. Part of a $355 billion effort to modernize its increasingly outdated nuclear capability, the U.S. has developed the B61-12 to the tune of over $10.4 billion as the most adaptable, precise nuclear gravity missile on the planet.

Successful testing of the missile has now created a clear pathway for production engineering to begin in 2016, and with that, the United States is now poised to acquire 480 bombs total by the 2020-2024 period.

The B61-12 presents a highly potent addition to the Pentagon’s nuclear cache.

As with all gravity bombs, the device will be configured to drop from stealth jets in free-fall over a given target — a deployment mechanism that has henceforth led to relative inaccuracy. However, the B61-12 avoids these traditional pitfalls due to a precision-guided tail kit modification that consumed the majority of the overall development cost.

This makes the new B61s the most precise nuclear gravity weapons ever conceived — providing the U.S. with an accuracy of within 30 meters.

Because We take or old rocks and paint them with new stains, For all our technology all or enlightenment, all our grace and civility, We are still savages. If we need further evidence of what we really are, Just look at politics.

Whether one supports one side or another, Politics have become so base it's like a middle school food fight. The world is a scary place, Money and power don't promise a calm demeanor and honorable intentions.

Some very scary people have a lotta lotta money.

As scary as he is, I can't get over how much he looks like a bald Carebear.

I leave you with this thought, When I think of Hillary Clinton, I think of the young hot Hillary. Why was that necessary? Because people just have to know these things :Sneaky:

She's still Scary Rich and powerful though.

Yay... finally... a realistic and more efficient way to hit more precise and smaller targets... with dangerous nuclear warheads... that can eventually fall into the wrong hands.... yikes!

Would a smart operation put out a new device like this, B61-12 Nuclear Gravity Bomb

If it didn’t already have another, more secreted deterrent to that tech already? If you want to assume the gov’t is smart... this is what I would do... I would trickle out the dated tech that is still ahead of other countries, knowing that this new tech is of no threat to me, because I already have something that can neutralize it in a nanosecond...
or I have preprogrammed it to self deter if a secret code was not entered upon launch, or... well... this list could go on... but you get my point...

Of course, they have something more dangerous. They have for a while now, this is going to get sciency, But that's just how I like it, Antimatter is the simple negatively charged version of matter which is always positively charged. Suppose someone Wanted a Negatively charged uranium atom, Suppose they split this atom, Because why wouldn't they?
Here is an article about an Antimatter bomb, Antimatter Bomb: Could We Use Antimatter to Make an Explosive? Here is a wiki to back that up. Antimatter weapon - Wikipedia Here is the thing, We know what a nuclear explosion does, What happens when the antimatter fallout Radiation from that nuclear explosion just eats away at all matter like acid rain? Even the atmosphere?

Welcome to the Modern day brother, It's scarier than yesteryear. Yesteryear was 70 years ago when we started using nuclear weapons, People how no earthly idea how much further we have come since then.

As I read this story, I couldn't help but think of Phillip Schnider, What strikes me as odd, A great many people in the ufology field, When something like this happens, Always seem to choose the asphyxiation rout as a means of accomplishing their goal.

This strikes me as odd because if a person was really going to do it, You would think they would pick a more peaceful less painful way out. To me these strangulation and carbon monoxide deaths, Strike me as suspect. I don't believe anyone would literally choose this way to end their life when there are quicker and less painful ways, More Common ways, Like a quick gunshot or a medication overdose.

Why do these Ufology related deaths Always have these quite honestly odd and brutal choices that most people wouldn't choose. I feel like there is an element to these deaths, They almost seem like perfect choices if some other person wanted to make a statement when killing them.

I think these deaths are forced at gunpoint. I mean why do it in these slow and confusing painful ways? Because the Killer is making some sort of statement, A statement to others who would leak information, I feel these are not just the act of some government cleaning up messes. There is malice to these killings, I'm sure of it. Most people who want to clock out and are truly serious choose different methods.

I think carbon monoxide just makes you go to sleep and die and isn't necessarily painful. Robin Williams hanging himself from a doorknob with a belt - oh crap. Gruesome, but despondent people in pain aren't necessarily rational.

When governments want to kill people they have more eloquent methods available. Kind of why I think JFK wasn't assassinated as part of a secret plot - nut with a rifle leaves too many loose ends.

Traceless heart attacks The CIA's Secret Heart Attack Gun
Ricin dart Case closed on 1978 poison umbrella killing of Bulgarian defector
Radiation poisoning
Alexander Litvinenko - Wikipedia
Yasser Arafat killed by radiation poisoning?
And lets not forget nerve agents Russian spy Sergei Skripal assassination attempt: UK deploys military as Moscow, under suspicion, offers help

Lesson here - don't seriously piss off the Commies.

As for the Philadelphia Experiment - I always loved that story and am looking at a copy of the book right now. Creepy. Fascinating. But I think it grew out of an active imagination. As I remember if you follow the real history of the destroyer escort (much smaller than a destroyer) USS Eldridge it's service career was fairly typical and would have taken place after the Experiment. Degaussing and deperming steel warships so they don't get blown up by magnetic mines is standard operating practice but to the uninitiated looks weird - cables festooned all over the ship, electrical contrivances etc.

Last Podcast on the Left #268 did a pretty reasonable and hilarious job on the whole thing. Going to take more than strange towels to convince me the poor man wasn't just f****d up.

I guess you are right, As I wrote that, I was thinking about a story of A guy I knew who did the car thing... It was sad.
I will never really understand suicide, At least I hope I don't. I never want to be at that stage where I realize why and how people make that decision. If I am Lucky I will never know.

From what I've read under Obama we began to quietly but significantly upgrade our nuclear arsenal. The trend is toward much more accurate and scalable weapons. Dial-a-nuke. Pick the yield you would like - strategic 'city buster' or tactical 'take out an installation' and drop it down a specific chimney. Disturbing. May increase the likelihood of being used.

I guess I just went on abut this is another thread. I think the idea behind upgrading our nuclear arsenal is to have fewer but more versatile and effective weapons. They can hit with more precision and the yield can be adjusted to the size necessary. The delivery systems can 'escape and evade' in ways Dr.Strangelove would never have envisioned. I think Russia announced that it had exactly that - a hypersonic stealth platform that is autonomous and highly maneuverable. Scary shit.

Some of these things are getting pretty old. Just what you want - old H-bombs piled up somewhere.

Makes you look at 'advanced aerial threat identification' programs - under whatever acronym is currently in use - in a new light, eh?

I make a lot of claims and I scream a lot of screams about conservative politics at times. The idea of hurting someone or having to use a weapon on someone is something I find disturbing, There is nothing wrong with allowing people to think I own guns, But in reality, if I had to defend my home, I don't own a Gun. mostly because I'm afraid of them.

Still, I think that's what a superpower is, It's a giant game of who can scare who into political submission with the most weapons.

The world is a scary place, There is no doubt in that.

That's the thing though. The problem with unified world peace is, there are so many people, for every good person that would Feed the homeless for every person that would defend the weak, There are people who would prey upon the weak, because of greed or even worse, Because of some psychological need to harm others.

World peace is as much of an illusion as anything David Copperfield ever pulled off, Because as long as there are Happy well fed, comfortable people, There will always be those who aren't happy that those people live such comfortable lives.

If everyone, Everywhere Took all the worlds wealth and split it evenly among all the people of earth, Many would think this would bring about world peace, But there will always be people who will hate and have greed in their hearts, people who want to Dominate and control others, People who want their lives to be better than others.

There are many who harm and kill, Just because it's in their nature to be a predator and prey upon others. I hate to sound so Edgar Allan Poe about it, But some people won't know true happiness unless others are suffering. Because Hate is an emotion that can not be completely abolished.
