The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has published its annual Doomsday Clock position: unchanged from January of last year, but still remaining at closest proximity… It is still 90 seconds to midnight
Topping the threat list are the nuclear stockpiles of Russia, China, the U.S., Iran, North Korea, Pakistan and India; these nations’ programs are mentioned in the summary page for Nuclear Risk. And yet, the one nation that may be closest to using its nuclear arsenal remains unacknowledged. Israel is currently waging total war ostensibly on Hamas, but Palestinian civilians in Gaza are being slaughtered indiscriminately, such that, the Zionist state has now come under indictment for genocide at the Hague (International Court of Justice, 26 January, 2024). Israel pleads that it is existentially threatened; this may well be the case, that the “Zionist entity” (as its enemies name it) may go the way of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1187 AD). While it has survived Henry Kissinger, who predicted just over eleven years ago (Page Six, Sept. 18, 2012) that Israel would be gone in ten, we’ll wager that it won’t outlive in years (88) the Crusader kingdom, which gives it less than thirteen. Perhaps we shouldn’t be betting on such matters, for the difference between the world of the Crusades and the present is the nuclear factor. Though its nuclear program has never been officially acknowledged, it exists and presents a geopolitical trump card in the Middle East. What is understood by all parties is the policy of the Sampson Option – if Israel goes, then the whole house (the world) comes down. In his most recent essay on Substack, Seymour Hersh poses the question, but only parenthetically…
(As someone who wrote an early expose of the Israeli arsenal in my 1991 book The Samson Option, I can’t help wondering if Bibi’s relentless onslaught against the Palestinians is backed up by his sense that Israel always has a nuclear ace in the hole.)
Indeed there is evidence that Israel has used uranium-based weapons in the past – not simply depleted uranium, but something unknown, of a specialized type, yielding signatures of enhanced uranium…
Chris Busby (ResearchGate) – Red Mercury? Evidence for the use by Israel of a novel uranium warhead in Palestine and Lebanon
Abstract
The clear existence of Enriched Uranium in environmental and biological samples from the Lebanon, Gaza and Fallujah point to the existence of a secret weapon being employed. Such a weapon was researched by del Guidice and Torrealta and discussed in 2014 in a book, the Three Bullets. The weapon was proposed to employ cold fusion and Uranium with deuterium or Tritium and to create neutrons and gamma rays on impact. This contribution discusses the issue and suggests ways to identify the nature of the weapon.
Busby discusses the findings and hypothesis in less technical language on his Medium page: Science: the final frontier, and in this interview by Sayer Ji at GreenMedInfo: An Interview with Dr. Chris Busby: Advocacy, Controversies, and the Rise of 4th Generation Nuclear Weapons
