More Nord Stream ‘Bombshells’ to Come – Seymour Hersh

The legendary reporter slammed the mainstream media for ignoring his story, which pinned the act of sabotage on the US

Journalist Seymour Hersh has promised to reveal more incriminating information linking the US to the demolition of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. President Joe Biden ordered the lines destroyed to prevent Germany from resuming the purchase of cheap Russian gas, he claimed.

In a post to his Substack page on Wednesday, Hersh slammed the mainstream media – singling out the New York Times and Washington Post – for refusing to “run a word” on the pipeline story, and for ignoring Russia and China’s calls for an international investigation.

Both papers, he said, published his exposés on the US military’s war crimes in Vietnam, but are now seemingly uninterested in “national security or matters of war and peace.”

Nord Stream 1 and 2, which connected Russia and Germany under the Baltic Sea, were damaged in a series of underwater explosions last September. Hersh, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, released a report last week blaming the US for the attack and detailing how the Biden administration and the CIA planned the operation. The White House dismissed the allegation as “utterly false and complete fiction.”

German Statesman Slams EU Leaders' Spinelessness, Demands NATO's Dismemberment, Closure of US Bases! Oskar Lafontaine, who has worked under Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schroder, and served as President of the Bundesrat, Minister President of Saarland, Minister of Finance, and Leader of Die Linke and the SPD, blasted the current crop of German and European leaders for going along with policies which have brought Berlin to the brink of disaster. (November 28, 2022)

“Of course, I also mean the conflict in Ukraine, which began with the Maidan putsch in Kiev in 2014. Since then, the US and its Western vassals have been arming Ukraine and systematically preparing it for confrontation with Russia. Ukraine thus became a de facto, if not de jure, member of NATO. This backstory has been studiously ignored by Western politicians and the mainstream media,” Lafontaine told Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten in an interview published Sunday. (November 28, 2022)

“It was a hostile act against the Federal Republic, and not only against us, and once again makes clear that we must free ourselves from American tutelage,” Lafontaine stressed. The politician pressed his country’s leaders to force the removal of all US military bases and nuclear weapons from German soil, and called for the creation of a European security architecture with France, separate from NATO, which he called an “obsolete” alliance that acts as a “tool to enforce the US’s claim to remain the sole power in the world.” (November 28, 2022)

“To use a hackneyed expression: We are experiencing the birth pangs of the transitional phase from a unipolar to a multipolar world order. And the question arises whether we will have a place of our own in this new world order, or be drawn into Washington’s conflicts with Moscow and Beijing as American vassals,” the politician emphasized. (November 28, 2022)

“On the other hand, they have not succeeded in ‘ruining Russia’, as [German Foreign Minister Annalena] Baerbock put it…overthrowing [Vladimir] Putin and installing a puppet government in Moscow to get better access to Russian raw materials, as was the case in [Boris] Yeltsin’s time,” Lafontaine said. (November 28, 2022)

The article backed up Moscow’s repeated assertions that the US carried out the strike in order to prevent rapprochement between Russia and Germany, while making Berlin dependent on more expensive American liquefied natural gas.

Germany halted certification of Nord Stream 2 in the days before Russian troops entered Ukraine, and EU sanctions throttled the flow of gas through Nord Stream 1 since late summer by impeding vital repairs. However, Hersh told Germany’s Berliner Zeitung newspaper on Tuesday that the Biden administration feared Berlin would lift these sanctions and resume gas transit as temperatures dropped over the winter.

“The President of the United States would rather see Germany freeze than [see] Germany possibly stop supporting Ukraine,” he asserted.

“There may be more to learn about Joe Biden’s decision to prevent the German government from having second thoughts about the lack of cheap gas this winter,” Hersh wrote on Wednesday. “Stay tuned,” he said. “We are only on first base…”

Nord Stream Blast Story was ‘Not Hard to Find’ – Author

Media outlets like the NYT and WaPo “don’t seem to have anyone inside” among their sources, Seymour Hersh claims

Legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh claimed on Saturday that his latest bombshell report, which suggests the CIA was responsible for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines in September, was not a hard story to find. It was obvious that there was more to the issue than was being reported by most media outlets, Hersh said.

In his first interview since he published the story on Substack last Wednesday, the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist was asked by Radio War Nerd to comment on his source for the story, who still remains anonymous.

Hersh refused to expose any details about who he spoke to and noted that it was his job to protect his sources and take the heat when a story went live. But those within the media who criticize him for using anonymous sources should “understand the business a little better,” the journalist suggested.

“The problem is, it’s all been cheapened. Because now the New York Times and the Washington Post think an unnamed source can be a press guy, a press secretary, that whispers something to them on the side. I don’t know, they don’t seem to have anyone inside,” Hersh said.

He also noted that major news outlets are failing to report a lot of things about the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev. “The war I know about is not the war you’re reading about,” Hersh observed.

“It’s amazing to me how they fall in line, my colleagues,” he added, lamenting that many outlets such as the NYT, WP, CNN and MSN have become a front for the White House and the Biden administration.

As for the Nord Stream expose, Hersh insisted it was “not a hard story to find” and that it was obvious that some NATO country was involved, especially after top US officials, including President Joe Biden, issued clear threats that the Russian-German project would be stopped “one way or another” if Moscow chose to send troops to Ukraine back in February 2022.

Hersh also pointed out that the entire international pipeline industry knew “who did what” and that this was a reality that “nobody thinks about.” “But I did, so there you are,” he concluded.

The White House, as well as officials from the CIA and State Department, have all vehemently dismissed Hersh’s report since it was published. Moscow, meanwhile, has called for an open international investigation into the attack, saying it was “impossible to leave this without finding the perpetrators and punishing them.”

US openly Admits It Blew up Nord Stream – Russian FM

The pipelines were sabotaged because Washington saw Russian-German cooperation as a threat, Sergey Lavrov has claimed

Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia

US officials are basically admitting that they were behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, which was perpetrated to prevent rapprochement between Moscow and Berlin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

“The US decided that we [Russia] have been cooperating too well with Germany over the past 20 or 30 years; or rather, the Germans cooperated with us too well,” he said in an interview published on the Foreign Ministry’s website on Sunday.

The “powerful alliance” based on Russian energy resources and German technology “began to threaten the monopoly position of many American corporations,” Lavrov explained.

So, Washington decided to destroy this alliance between Moscow and Berlin, and did it “literally” by attacking the pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Europe through Germany, he added.

“American officials are basically admitting that the explosions that occurred at Nord Stream 1 and 2 were their doing. They even speak about it with joy,” the foreign minister stated.

Lavrov was likely referring to a confession made by US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland during a Senate hearing in late January. “I am, and I think the administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now... a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea,” she said at that time.

'The epicenter of world politics and economic development has shifted eastwards, towards a more equal and balanced dispensation of power'

“The vileness of Western politicians is well known,” Lavrov continued, suggesting that “the plan, which is now being implemented through ‘inciting’ Ukraine against Russia and waging a war by the entire West against Russia by means of Ukraine, is to a large extent aimed at preventing a new rapprochement between Germany and Russia.”

The comments by Russia’s top diplomat come just days after iconic American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh released a bombshell report blaming Washington for sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines last year.

According to an informed source who talked to Hersh, explosives were planted at the pipelines in the Baltic Sea back in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of a NATO exercise. They were detonated in late September, rendering the key European energy infrastructure inoperable.

US National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson denied the report by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, calling it “utterly false and complete fiction.” No one among high-ranking American officials has even commented on the accusations made by Hersh.

For months, the Russian authorities have been pointing to the fact that the only side to benefit from the destruction of Nord Stream was the US, which has seen supplies of its more expensive liquefied natural gas to Europe increase massively since the explosions.

The destruction of global forests slowed in 2021 but the vital climate goal of ending deforestation by 2030 will still be missed without urgent action, according to an assessment.

The area razed in 2021 fell by 6.3% after progress in some countries, notably Indonesia. But almost 7m hectares were lost and the destruction of the most carbon- and biodiversity-rich tropical rainforests fell by only 3%. The CO2 emissions resulting from the lost trees were equivalent to the emissions of the entire European Union plus Japan.

Global heating could not be limited to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels without ending deforestation, experts said. At the UN’s Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow last year, 145 countries pledged to end the felling of forests by the end of the decade. The demolition and degradation of forests causes about 10% of global carbon emissions.

However, based on current trends, the Glasgow leaders’ declaration would be as “hollow” as the pledge made by countries in 2014 to end deforestation by 2020, the assessment’s authors said.

There was little clarity or transparency of the measures being taken to end deforestation and only 1% of the required funding was being provided, they said, and most importantly a lack of political will.

Erin Matson at Climate Focus, a policy group and one of the coalition of organisations that conducted the assessment, said: “The [Glasgow declaration] was a big moment, the first time such a target had been embraced at the leaders level by so many countries, covering 90% of global forests.

“But we are not on track. There has been some modest improvement, but even this could just be temporary. Many countries are putting their progress at risk by phasing out or rolling back protections. For example, Indonesia did not renew its palm oil moratorium after it expired in September 2021 and a recently adopted law on job creation poses a serious threat to natural forests.”

The largest area of destroyed forest in 2021 was in Brazil, where deforestation has risen under president Jair Bolsonaro, having fallen under his predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The election contest between the two men, on 30 October, has been described by scientists as likely to determine the fate of the Amazon. “The stakes are high,” Matson said.

David Gibbs, a research associate at the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Global Forest Watch, said: “We are quickly moving toward another round of hollow commitments and vanished forests.”

Fran Price, at the World Wildlife Fund, said: “There is no pathway to meeting the 1.5C target or reversing biodiversity loss without halting deforestation and conversion. It is time for bold leadership and daring solutions.”

Four of the top five countries with the largest areas of deforestation – Brazil, Bolivia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Paraguay – increased the destruction in 2021.

However, “exceptional progress” in some countries showed the 2030 goal was still possible, the authors said. Indonesia, the only country to cut deforestation in each of the past five years, and its neighbour Malaysia, reduced forest destruction by about 25% in 2021. As a result, tropical Asia is the only region on track for zero deforestation by 2030.

A drive to end the razing of forests for cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast and Ghana helped deforestation fall by 47% and 13% respectively, while new national parks and measures to fight illegal logging led to a 28% fall in Gabon. Tropical Latin America, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia and Guatemala also reported cuts in deforestation in 2021.

“We have the data and we know what interventions work – the missing element is the political will to actually undertake those actions,” said Frances Seymour at WRI.

The measures include government bans combined with effective enforcement, collaborations with the beef, soy, timber and other commodity companies whose products are most linked to deforestation, international trade measures and the strengthening of the land rights of Indigenous and other local people.

Countries backing the Glasgow declaration pledged to quadruple annual funding to tackle deforestation but no information was yet available on how these pledges would be met, the authors said.

Only a quarter of the biggest global companies in the agriculture sector have announced strong policies to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains and just 20% of these are close to meeting their commitments.

The new forest declaration assessment used data on permanent tree cover loss around the world to create a baseline from 2018-20. To get to zero deforestation by 2030 requires a fall of 10% a year, meaning the current slowing of deforestation is insufficient.

Forest cover has increased in some countries since 2000 but less than the area lost. New forests could not offset the huge carbon storage and biodiversity of existing natural forests, the authors said.

Protecting intact forests had even more climate benefits than just the CO2 stored, said Seymour, thanks to their role in producing cloud cover that cools the planet. “If we take the non-carbon processes into account, they amplify the cooling effect of ending tropical forest loss by about 50%,” she said.

Michael Wolosin, at Conservation International, said: “That 50% cooling bonus should be included by forest countries in their accounting to gain the recognition and finance they deserve for the services their forests are providing to the world.”

Euston’s Lost Tunnels

What we now know as the Northern Line was born out of the amalgamation of the City & South London Railway (C&SLR) and the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR). In 1903, the two companies were granted permission to build underground railways passing in the area near Euston. The owners of Euston, the London & North Western Railway, stipulated that each underground railway must have a separate station buildings. The C&SLR built theirs to the east of Euston, on Seymour Street (now demolished); the CCE&HR built theirs to the west, on Melton Street (scheduled for demolition as part of HS2 works).

The C&SLR and CCE&HR agreed to build a tunnel to connect their platforms, to save passengers from going above ground if changing lines. However, as the lines were run by different companies, a new ticket was required when changing – so a ticket office was installed part way along the linking tunnel (reputedly the only example of this on the entire underground network); there was also a joint ticket hall under the mainline station with direct routes to each line. When the underground lines were unified in 1914, the individual station buildings closed, leaving the ticket hall under the mainline station as the only entrance and exit.

By the 1960s, the lines had long since been operating through Euston as the Northern Line – though as separate branches (still a source of confusion to unwary travellers today). It was the construction of the Victoria Line that finally closed the linking tunnel between the two branches in 1962, with new tunnels and ticket hall being built to cope with increased passenger numbers.

The London Transport Museum operates tours of the disused CCE&HR station and linking tunnel, along with a walk into the ventilation system above the Victoria line platforms. Though converted for service use, the old tunnels were never stripped or cleaned before the modern equipment was put in place; as such, they are something of a time capsule, with walls covered in advertisements from the 1960s, most still remarkably readable over 50 years later.

Hey guys! Today is World Theatre Day. I think it’s a great holiday. Theatre will always be on a special place in my heart. At school I attended theatre classes and we did a lot of performances for local events. I’m not doing it anymore but I will always remebmer this feeling when you’re on stage, when you’re someone else, but still your soul is kinda naked. Theatre is an amazing thing. It’s a place where magic happens here and now, unlike movies where you can make several takes of one scene until it turn out perfect. It’s a place where the actors share their energy, emotions, their soul with the audience. It always gives me such incredible vibes I cannot quite describe. Theatre is AMAZING! And the actors who work on stage do an amazing job.

Today I would like to present you a small series of posts introducing Sam Rockwell on theatre stage. I don’t know how you feel about these pictures, but as for me - I sense some kind of magic even in them. Hope you enjoy too.

(I apologize for a lot of text - I didn’t plan it, but it was pretty interesting to read about these plays and I honestly would love to see them on stage)

Sam Rockwell on theatre stage - Part 1:

The Hot l Baltimore (2000), directed by Joe Mantello

A play by Lanford Wilson set in the lobby of a dilapidated old hotel, from which the “e” in the hotel sign is missing - hence the name, Hot L Baltimore.

The play is comprised of a series of conversations between the residents of the hotel, who are contemplating an uncertain future after the hotel is condemned and scheduled for demolition. (c) encyclopedia.com

The Zoo Story (2001)

A one-act play by American playwright Edward Albee. The play explores themes of isolation, loneliness, miscommunication as anathematization, social disparity and dehumanization in a materialistic world.

This play concerns two characters, Peter and Jerry, who meet on a park bench in New York City's Central Park. Peter is a wealthy publishing executive with a wife, two daughters, two cats, and two parakeets. Jerry is an isolated and disheartened man, desperate to have a meaningful conversation with another human being. He intrudes on Peter’s peaceful state by interrogating him and forcing him to listen to stories about his life and the reason behind his visit to the zoo. The action is linear, unfolding in front of the audience in “real time”. The elements of ironic humor and unrelenting dramatic suspense are brought to a climax when Jerry brings his victim down to his own savage level. (c) Wikipedia

The Dumb Waiter (2001)

A one-act play by Harold Pinter written in 1957.

Two hit-men, Ben and Gus, are waiting in a basement room for their assignment. As the play begins, Ben, the senior member of the team, is reading a newspaper, and Gus, the junior member, is tying his shoes. Gus asks Ben many questions as he gets ready for their job and tries to make tea. Ben continues reading his paper for most of the time, occasionally reading excerpts of it to Gus. Ben gets increasingly animated, and Gus's questions become more pointed, at times nearly nonsensical.

In the back of the room is a dumbwaiter, which delivers occasional food orders. This is mysterious and both characters seem to be puzzled why these orders keep coming; the basement is clearly not outfitted as a restaurant kitchen. At one point they send up some snack food that Gus had brought along. Ben has to explain to the people above via the dumbwaiter's "speaking tube" that there is no food.

Gus leaves the room to get a drink of water in the bathroom, and the dumbwaiter's speaking tube whistles (a sign that there is a person on the other end who wishes to communicate). Ben listens carefully - we gather from his replies that their victim has arrived and is on his way to the room. Ben shouts for Gus, who is still out of the room. The door that the target is supposed to enter from flies open, Ben rounds on it with his gun, and Gus enters, stripped of his jacket, waistcoat, tie and gun. There is a long silence as the two stare at each other before the curtain comes down.

Although the play is realistic in many ways, particularly the dialogue between Ben and Gus, there are also elements that are unexplained and seemingly absurd, particularly the messages delivered by the dumb waiter itself. Pinter is notable for leaving the plays open to interpretation, "wanting his audience to complete his plays, to resolve in their own ways these irresolvable matters". (c) Wikipedia

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (2005), directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman

A play by American playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis.

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot tells the story of a court case over the ultimate fate of Judas Iscariot. The play uses flashbacks to an imagined childhood, and lawyers who call for the testimonies of such witnesses as Mother Teresa, Caiaphas, Saint Monica, Sigmund Freud, and Satan. (c) Wikipedia

Judas was the disciple of Jesus who betrayed his friend and teacher to the authorities. He is seen as the man responsible for Jesus’s death; afterwards, Judas fell into despair and hung himself from an olive tree; since then, he has been suffering for his deeds deep in Hell, and will continue to do so for all eternity. Is that really fair? Was Judas the duplicitous master of his own fate, a much-suffering pawn used for Jesus’s ends, or just a man who made a mistake? Set in a courtroom in Purgatory, The Last Days puts Judas’ case to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial, the results of which are sure to make the inhabitants of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory - and the audience - reconsider what each thought they knew about forgiveness, faith, and the human inside one of the history’s most infamous figures. (c) stageagent.com

A Behanding in Spokane (2010), directed by John Crowley

A black comedy by award-winning Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. This is his first play set in the United States.

Set in a rundown hotel room somewhere in small-town America, it depicts the fateful encounter among four disaffected losers: the one-handed Carmichael, who has spent the past 47 years trying to retrieve the appendage that a bunch of "hillbilly bastards" forcefully removed when he was a teenager; Toby, a low-level scam artist; Marilyn, his white-trash girlfriend; and Mervyn, a truly creepy hotel "receptionist" who takes an inordinate interest in his guests' comings and goings. Toby and Marilyn have made the mistake of attempting to con Carmichael with the claim that they're in possession of his errant hand. Upon inspection, it turns out to be not of the Caucasian variety, resulting in his holding them at gunpoint. When they claim that they really do have his hand back in their garage, he runs off to retrieve it, but not before handcuffing them to the radiator and setting a lit candle above an open can of gasoline.

When Mervyn subsequently stops by the room, he's not particularly interested in helping the couple escape, despite his obvious romantic interest in Marilyn. It turns out he's still pissed off at Toby, whom he recognizes as the drug dealer who ripped him off years earlier. (c) hollywoodreporter.com

The play was nominated for the 2010 Drama League Award, Distinguished Production of a Play.

A Streetcar Named Desire (2011)

A play written by Tennessee Williams.

The play dramatises the life of Blanche DuBois, a southern belle who, after encountering a series of personal losses, leaves her aristocratic background seeking refuge with her sister and brother-in-law in a dilapidated New Orleans tenement.

A Streetcar Named Desire is Williams' most popular play, is considered among the finest plays of the 20th century, and is considered by many to be Williams' greatest work. It still ranks among his most performed plays, and has inspired many adaptations in other forms. (c) Wikipedia

Futurama

There are a few butt related instances in Futurama that come to mind. I don't promise that this list is comprehensive, but if anyone points out additional scenes I will add them:

Season 7 episode 21: Fry's head is stuck in a jar, and he is freed when Leela accidentally sits on his head. This is the most direct butt-to-head contact in the whole series.

Season 4 episode 9: Fry shows his bare butt and rubs it against a window.

Season 2 episode 2: Leela fights the Amazonian women to no effect, and one of them sits on her.

Season 2 episode 5: Leela and Amy are nude with Fry in the steam room. The top of the two women's butts are visible.

Season 3 Episode 49: I won't list out all of Bender's butt references, but this one in particular has Bender's note on a building "Bender lives large and kicks butt" to be demolished into "Bender licks butt". This is notable in that butt references usually talk about kissing butt or brown nosing- a reference to licking butt is less common in my experience.

Season 4 episode 7: Leela and Amy wrestle in tight clothing. Just before Bender comes in Leela is very nearly sitting on Amy's face.

Season 9 episode 5: There is a reference to a romance between "face mutant" and "butt mutant".

Season 6 episode 1: Amy is nude and covered in pink goo. The professor slaps her on the butt.

Season 1 episode 3: Bender mentions that one woman has a huge ass.

Season 1 episode 6: Fry play's Sir Mixalot's "I Like Big Butts" song, which Leela calls classical music.

Season 6 episode 3: There is a plot point involving a mutant on Leela's butt. There is one scene that is a closeup of her butt.

Bender's Game: The shower scene while discussing the demolition derby shows the top of Leela and Amy's butt cracks.

Bender's Big Score: Hermes hangs up the phone with his butt. Also a major plot point involves a tattoo on Fry's butt.

Fry's dog is named Seymour Asses.

In the first episode, when Fry first sees Leela, she is facing away from him so that her one eye is a surprise. This emphasizes her butt in their first meeting.

There are various scenes of swimsuits and other revealing cloth, and one with Amy taking off her pants facing away from the camera, but these seem less 'butt emphasis' and more 'butt visible' to me. There is also some nudity, such as the professor's, that I didn't track down.

Le munizioni per demolizione atomica (ADM), colloquialmente note come mine terrestri nucleari, sono piccoli ordigni esplosivi nucleari. Le ADM sono state sviluppate sia per scopi militari che civili. Come armi, furono progettate per essere esplose nell'area di battaglia in avanti, al fine di bloccare o incanalare le forze nemiche. Non militarmente, sono stati progettati per la demolizione, l'estrazione mineraria o il movimento terra. Tuttavia, a parte i test, non sono mai stati utilizzati per nessuno dei due scopi.

Le ADM non sono mai state utilizzate commercialmente anche se piccoli dispositivi simili, spesso modificati per ridurre la resa di fissione e massimizzare la fusione, sono stati profondamente sepolti per appiccare incendi di gas come parte del programma di test sovietico. [chiarimento necessario]

L'Unione Sovietica ha testato l'uso di dispositivi nucleari per l'estrazione mineraria e il gas naturale (stimolando il flusso di gas in modo simile al fracking)in diverse occasioni a partire dalla metà degli anni '60, come parte del programma Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Test per scopi simili sono stati effettuati negli Stati Uniti nell'ambito dell'operazione Plowshare, ma a causa della contaminazione radioattiva causata dai test, non è stato fatto alcun uso commerciale diretto della tecnologia, sebbene abbiano avuto successo nella nucleosintesi e sondando la composizione della crosta profonda terrestre da parte di Vibroseis che ha aiutato la prospezione delle società minerarie. [14][15][16]

ADM degli Stati Uniti[edit]

Contenitore di trasporto H-912 per Mk-54 SADM

Negli anni '50 e '60, gli Stati Uniti svilupparono diversi tipi di dispositivi nucleari leggeri. Il principale era il W54,un cilindro di 40 per 60 cm (circa 16 per 24 pollici) che pesava 23 kg (50 libbre). Era sparato da un timer meccanico e aveva una resa variabile equivalente a tra 10 tonnellate e 1 kt di TNT. Una versione a resa non variabile field del dispositivo nucleare W54 (chiamata testata "Mk-54 Davy Crockett" per il round M-388 Crockett) fu usata nel Davy Crockett Weapon System.

TADM[

modifica

]

La Mk 30 Mod 1 Tactical Atomic Demolition Munition (TADM) era una bomba atomica portatile, costituita da una testata Mk 30 installata in una custodia X-113. L'X-113 aveva un diametro di 26 pollici (66 cm) e un lungo 70 pollici (178 cm) e sembrava un tubo di culvert ondulato. L'intero sistema pesava 840 libbre (381 kg). La produzione del TADM iniziò nel 1961 e tutti furono rimossi dalle scorte nel 1966. Un test dell'effetto armi del TADM fu fatto nel colpo di Johnny Boy del 1962 ("Johnnie Boy"[17]) della serie Dominic II (che è più precisamente indicato come Operazione Sunbeam),la resa di Johnny Boy/Johnnie Boy era di circa .5 kt.[18] Un precedente test ADM che ha portato a una resa comparabile, è stato girato in prova "Danny Boy" dell'Operazione Nougat,producendo anche una resa di circa 0,5 chilotoni. [19]

SADM[

La Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) era una famiglia di armi nucleari portatili in campo dall'esercito statunitense negli anni '60, ma mai utilizzate in combattimento. L'esercito statunitense pianificò di usare le armi in Europa in caso di invasione sovietica. Gli ingegneri dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti avrebbero usato l'arma per irradiare, distruggere e negare le vie chiave di comunicazione attraverso terreni limitati come il Fulda Gap. Le truppe furono addestrate a paracadutarsi nell'Europa occidentale occupata dai sovietici con la SADM e distruggere centrali elettriche, ponti e dighe.

L'arma è stata progettata per consentire a una persona di paracadutarsi da qualsiasi tipo di aereo che trasporta il pacchetto di armi e posizionarlo in un porto o in un'altra posizione strategica a cui si poteva accedere dal mare. Un altro paracadutista senza un pacchetto di armi seguirebbe il primo a fornire supporto se necessario.

La squadra di due persone avrebbe messo il pacchetto di armi nel luogo di destinazione, impostato il timer e nuotato nell'oceano dove sarebbero stati recuperati da un sottomarino o da un'imbarcazione per l'acqua di superficie ad alta velocità.

MADM[

modifica

]

La Medium Atomic Demolition Munition (MADM) era un'arma nucleare tattica sviluppata dagli Stati Uniti durante la Guerra Fredda. Sono stati progettati per essere utilizzati come mine terrestri nucleari e per altri scopi tattici, con una resa esplosiva relativamente bassa da una testata W45, tra 1 e 15 chilotoni. Ogni MADM pesava circa 181 kg in totale. Sono stati prodotti tra il 1965 e il 1986. [20]

Controversia russa con le ADM[

modifica

]

All'indomani del crollo dell'Unione Sovietica, gli Stati Uniti e la Russia svilupparono una profonda cooperazione volta ad assicurare la sicurezza dell'arsenale nucleare russo. Mentre furono prese una serie di misure per consolidare e migliorare la sicurezza delle armi nucleari strategiche della Russia, in particolare nell'ambito del programma cooperativo di riduzione delle minacce, rimase la preoccupazione per la sicurezza dell'arsenale tattico russo di armi nucleari. In particolare, sorse un serio dibattito sullo status delle note come "armi nucleari da valigia", piccoli dispositivi nucleari dell'era sovietica. Il termine valigia nucleare è generalmente usato per descrivere qualsiasi tipo di piccolo dispositivo nucleare portatile, anche se vi è un serio dibattito sulla validità del termine stesso. Nella peggiore delle ipotesi, una bomba atomica sarebbe abbastanza piccola da essere trasportata a mano in una grande popolazione o centro di leadership (centro di Manhattan o Capitol Hill,per esempio) non rilevata e poi fatta esplodere. Sebbene, per la maggior parte degli account, la resa di un tale dispositivo sia probabilmente molto inferiore a dieci chilotoni, i suoi effetti combinati possono avere il potenziale per uccidere decine di migliaia, se non di più. C'è molta confusione su quanti di questi dispositivi valigia esistono o se esistono. Secondo alcuni resoconti, l'Unione Sovietica costruì centinaia di questi dispositivi, di cui diverse dozzine mancavano. Sulla base di altri rapporti, le armi nucleari per valigie non sono mai state costruite in gran numero o non sono mai state dispiegate.

Non ci sono informazioni open source definitive sul numero, la posizione, la sicurezza o lo stato di queste bombe nucleari per valigie. Nessuna bomba valigie sovietica o nessuno dei suoi presunti componenti è mai stato trovato, tanto meno usato, nei tre decenni successivi al crollo dell'URSS. A dicembre 2018, è probabile che non funzionerebbero o sfrutterebbero nella peggiore delle ipotesi la mancanza della necessaria manutenzione specializzata comune a tutte le armi nucleari, se mai esistessero.

Trasmissione in

prima linea sulle armi nucleari della valigia[

modifica

]

Il 23 febbraio 1999, il programma investigativo della PBS Frontline ha pubblicato uno speciale sulla sicurezza nucleare russa che includeva una serie di interviste con molte delle persone che hanno parlato pubblicamente durante il dibattito del 1997 sulle armi nucleari da valigia. Alexei Yablokov apparve e riaffermiamo la sua posizione secondo cui un certo numero di piccole cariche atomiche erano state costruite, fino a parlare del loro peso ("trenta chili, quaranta chili"). Yablokov accusò il governo russo di ingannare l'opinione pubblica sulla situazione, sottolineando le incongruenze nelle smentite da parte dell'FSB, MINATOM, e le informazioni che erano pubblicamente disponibili su Internet ("... se sto guardando una [foto] di un'arma americana, devo essere sicuro che abbiamo un'analogia ..."). Nello stesso programma, il deputato Curt Weldon ha raccontato un incontro che ha tenuto nel dicembre 1997 con il ministro della Difesa Igor Sergeyev. Durante questo incontro, Weldon chiese specificamente a Sergeyev dei piccoli dispositivi ADM. Secondo Weldon, la risposta di Sergeev fu: "Sì, li abbiamo costruisciti, stiamo distruggendoli, ed entro il 2000 avremo distrutto tutti i nostri piccoli dispositivi di demolizione atomica". Weldon ha poi espresso fiducia nella dichiarazione di Sergeev, ma ha anche espresso preoccupazione per il fatto che il governo russo abbia o meno tenuto conto di tutti i suoi dispositivi nucleari. In prima linea c'erano anche diversi esperti e funzionari americani e russi che presentavano opinioni diverse sull'argomento. Il generale Vladimir Dvorkin, ex ufficiale delle Forze missilistiche strategiche e successivamente direttore del Quarto Istituto centrale di ricerca di Mosca, ha ammesso che "alcuni piccoli dispositivi esistevano negli Stati Uniti e in Russia" ma che qualcosa di così piccolo avrebbe una durata di conservazione molto limitata e avrebbe avuto poco valore deterrente. Dvorkin ha scontato la validità delle dichiarazioni[non sequitur] di Lebed,dicendo "... Lebed è probabilmente la persona meno informata per quanto riguarda questo argomento ... un esperto di folklore militare. Anche l'ex comandante delle forze nucleari statunitensi, il generale in pensione Eugene Habiger, è apparso in Prima Linea e ha espresso dubbi sulle dimensioni di tali dispositivi, definendo il termine valigia "un po 'ottimista". Inoltre, Habiger ha parlato dei sistemi istituiti dai russi per rintracciare le loro armi nucleari, dicendo "Se i russi fossero così mortalmente seri sulla responsabilità delle armi nucleari che ho visto e con cui sono stato coinvolto, posso solo supporre che abbiano le stesse preoccupazioni per le armi più piccole. "

Armi nucleari per valigie e bin Laden[

modifica

]

Alla fine del 1999, la preoccupazione si era allargata dai ribelli ceceni armati di nucleare per includere preoccupazioni sulla rete di Al-Qaeda di Osama bin Laden. Sebbene infondate, alcuni rapporti suggerirono che bin Laden era già riuscito ad acquisire armi dall'arsenale nucleare russo. Nell'agosto 1999, Voice of America trasferì una storia sulla minaccia posta da bin Laden. In esso, Yossef Bodansky, un analista, autore e capo della Task Force del Congresso sul terrorismo e la guerra non convenzionale, affermò di aver imparato,attraverso fonti in Russia e Medio Oriente, che bin Laden aveva "alcune delle bombe ex sovietiche 'valigia' acquistate attraverso i ceceni".Due mesi dopo, il 5 ottobre, il quotidiano di Mosca Komsomolskaya Pravda pubblicò un'intervista in cui Bodansky, citando "varie fonti di intelligence", affermò che bin Laden aveva acquisito, attraverso il Kazakistan, "da diverse venti testate nucleari tattiche". Bodansky affermò anche che bin Laden aveva tentato di comprare "valigie nucleari" in Kazakistan. Nello stesso articolo, il direttore dell'Agenzia per l'energia atomica della Repubblica del Kazakistan ha dichiarato che tutte le armi nucleari sono state rimosse "molto tempo fa" dal Kazakistan e che i dispositivi nucleari per valigie non sono mai stati costruiti in territorio kazako. Il capo del controspionaggio del Comitato kazako per la sicurezza nazionale ha detto a Komsomolskaya Pravda che tutte le armi nucleari sono state rimosse dal Kazakistan nel 1995 in conformità con il trattato START I e ha negato le notizie secondo cui bin Laden aveva tentato di acquistare armi nucleari lì. [23] Le affermazioni di Bodansky sono rovinosamente nuove il 25 ottobre 1999 quando the Jerusalem Report ha pubblicato un articolo su bin Laden e dispositivi nucleari per valigie. In questo rapporto, la pretesa di Bodansky di "poche o venti" armi fu ripetuta. Inoltre, Bodansky affermò che bin Laden aveva acquistato le armi usando "30 milioni di dollari in contanti e due tonnellate di eroina afghana". [24] Sono disponibili pochissime informazioni a backup delle affermazioni di Bodansky e rimangono in dubbio.

Le bombe da valigia riguardano post-9/11[

modifica

]

In seguito agli attacchi terroristici dell'11 settembre contro gli Stati Uniti, una nuova attenzione si è concentrata sul desiderio di al-Qaeda di armi di distruzione di massa, ma con maggiore urgenza che in passato. Una seria preoccupazione era che i terroristi di al-Qāʿida potessero tentare di ottenere testate russe o materiali nucleari utilizzabili con armi. Le dichiarazioni dell'ex colonnello del GRU Stanislav Lunevdel 1998 sono state resuscitate in seguito agli attacchi. Durante un'apparizione sulla CBS,Lunev riaffermiamo la sua affermazione che le bombe-valigia esistevano, fino a sostenere che bin Laden aveva ottenuto molti dei dispositivi dall'ex Unione Sovietica. Nello stesso segmento, Michael O'Hanlon della Brookings Institution ha scartato le affermazioni di Lunev: "La nostra opinione è che questa non sia una grande preoccupazione. Se questi dispositivi fossero mai esistiti, erano sotto il controllo dello stato sovietico e non erano disponibili per i terroristi. Il 20 dicembre 2001 l'UPI ha riferito che l'FBI aveva intensificato le indagini sull'accesso terroristico alle scorte nucleari russe. Il rappresentante Weldon,ancora una volta in prima linea nel dibattito, ha dichiarato: "Penso che [bin Laden] abbia una [sic] piccole munizioni per demolizione atomica, che sono state costruite dai sovietici nella guerra fredda? Probabilmente dubbioso. [26]

Il 17 gennaio 2002, il ministro russo dell'Energia Atomica, Aleksandr Rumyantsev, disse a Interfax che sarebbe stato impossibile per i terroristi costruire un'arma nucleare portatile, citando la mancanza di "potenziale e materiali necessari". Il rapporto Interfax ha poi dichiarato che "le principali potenze nucleari hanno un efficace sistema di controllo sulle cariche nucleari in miniatura, che pesano un totale di diverse dozzine di chilogrammi". Secondo Rumyantsev "tutti questi [dispositivi nucleari in miniatura] sono registrati ... è tecnicamente impossibile per tali accuse trovare la loro strada nelle mani dei terroristi. [27]

Valigia nukes polemica timeline[

modifica

]

I media russi dell'aprile 1995 affermano che i ribelli ceceni hanno "un certo numero" di piccoli dispositivi nucleari (munizioni per demolizione atomica o ADM)

Nel gennaio 1996 il Monterey Institute of International Studies riferisce che il KGB aveva un certo numero di piccoli dispositivi nucleari negli anni '70 e '80.

Settembre 1996 Lebed forma una commissione per rivedere la sicurezza dell'arsenale nucleare russo.

17 ottobre 1996 Eltsin licenzia Lebed. Maggio 1997 Lebed dice alla delegazione del Congresso degli Stati Uniti che mancano 84 delle 132 bombe "delle dimensioni di una valigia".

7 settembre 1997 60 Minutes in onda Lebed intervista in cui afferma che più di 100 bombe valigie mancano su un totale di 250. Il primo ministro russo definisce le accuse "assurde", il segretario alla stampa di Eltsin attribuisce commenti alle aspirazioni politiche di Lebed.

10 settembre 1997 MINATOM: "Tali armi non esistono". GRU: le armi nucleari per valigie non sono mai state prodotte.

13 settembre 1997 Capo della Commissione Investigativa: Nessuna unità russa ha ADM; tali dispositivi sono conservati in modo appropriato.

22 settembre 1997 Alexei Yablokov, ex consulente ambientale e sanitario di Eltsin, afferma, in una lettera a Novaya Gazeta, di aver incontrato i progettisti delle armi nucleari della valigia e che sono state costruite per il KGB.

25 settembre 1997 Il tenente generale Igor Valynkin, incaricato di proteggere le armi nucleari della Russia, afferma che le DMM sono troppo costose da costruire e mantenere; impossibile per il KGB avere i propri dispositivi nucleari. L'ex capo del KGB: "Il KGB non ha avuto uso di armi nucleari". Consigliere russo per la sicurezza nazionale: "Nessuna registrazione di tali dispositivi".

27 settembre 1997 MINATOM: le armi nucleari per valigie "non sono mai esistite e non esistono". Servizio federale di sicurezza: nessuna informazione sul KGB in possesso di tali dispositivi.

Dicembre 1997 Il ministro della Difesa russo dice al rappresentante Weldon: "Sì, li abbiamo costruito... saranno distrutti entro il 2000.

4 agosto 1998 L'ex colonnello del GRU Lunev afferma che i dispositivi nucleari portatili sono stati costruiti per le forze delle operazioni speciali sovietiche e che potrebbero essere stati nascosti negli Stati Uniti.

3 ottobre 1998 Yablokov, nella testimonianza del Congresso degli Stati Uniti, afferma che il KGB era l'utente principale per scopi "terroristici", ma potrebbe non esistere più. Lebed, sulla NBC, afferma che potrebbero esserci fino a 500 dispositivi o solo 100.

Agosto 1999 L'analista del terrorismo Yossef Bodansky afferma che bin Laden ha "diversi" dispositivi nucleari per valigie.

5 novembre 2001 Lunev afferma che bin Laden ha ottenuto diversi dispositivi per valigie.

17 gennaio 2002 Ministro russo dell'energia atomica: "tutti questi [dispositivi nucleari in miniatura] sono registrati ... è tecnicamente impossibile per loro trovare la loro strada nelle mani dei terroristi.

Over one hundred artists write on Trump and Jerusalem

Image: Ahmad Gharabli / AFP The Guardian reports (10th December) President Macron’s comment that recent US moves on the status of Jerusalem are a threat to peace. They are much more than that.

In recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Donald Trump seeks to achieve through a declaration what Israel has been trying to do for fifty years through force of arms: to erase Palestinians, as a political and cultural presence, from the life of their own city.

The Palestinian people of Jerusalem are already subject to municipal discrimination at every level, and a creeping process of ethnic cleansing. In addition to the continuing policy of house demolitions, in the last fifteen years, at least thirty-five Palestinian public institutions and NGOs in occupied East Jerusalem have been permanently or temporarily closed by the occupying forces. Cultural institutions have been a particular target.

At the same time Israeli authorities and entrepreneurs have spent millions in clearing Palestinian neighbourhoods to create ‘heritage’ projects that promote a myth of mono-ethnic urban identity, said to stretch back 3000 years.

We reject Trump’s collusion with such racist manipulation, and his disregard for international law. We deplore his readiness to crown the Israeli military conquest of East Jerusalem and his indifference to Palestinian rights.

As artists and as citizens, we challenge the ignorance and inhumanity of these policies, and celebrate the resilience of Palestinians living under occupation.
