"The Balance of Terror and the Red Mercury Nightmare"
http://www.financialsense.com/stormwatch/geo/analysis.htm
by J. R. Nyquist
March 26, 2002
On Thursday, March 21, WorldNetDaily posted an article from STRATFOR,
a
well-connected private intelligence firm. The title of the
article was
"Crisis looming between U.S., Russia."
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=26920
STRATFOR's article deals with CIA Director George Tenet's March 19
testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.
According to
Tenet, Russia is hardly a reliable partner in the "war against
terror."
Instead, Russia is "the first choice of proliferate states
seeking the most
advanced technology and training," said Tenet.
What the CIA director could not say, and perhaps what makes President
George W. Bush so desperately eager to wipe out the regime of
Saddam
Hussein, is that Russia may have given red mercury fusion technology
to
Saddam. According to one of my sources, Iraq possesses
"s-megaton"
micro-nuclear warheads. These are softball-sized two-megaton
fusion bombs
triggered by an irradiated and compressed compound of mercury antimony
oxide. This device doubles the nuclear yield with a hundredfold
reduction
of weight. Using heavy hydrogen instead of uranium or plutonium
to fuel
its explosive reaction, this hand-held nuclear weapon cannot be
detected by
U.S. sensors.
It should be acknowledged that CIA Director Tenet singled out Russia
for a
reason. Only Russia has compression technology in advance of
America's. Only Russia has worked long and hard to develop a
perfect
fusion bomb (the U.S. having abandoned its own effort decades
ago). And
now American intelligence has evidence of something dire, something
they
don't want to tell us. According to STRATFOR, "A severe
crisis between the
two sides [America and Russia] may now be forming." As STRATFOR
further
points out, "Now the director of the CIA has named Russia as the
key source
of WMD proliferation."
Perhaps we are now in a position to understand what Mullah Omar, the
Taliban leader, meant when he said last fall that America would soon
be
destroyed. He did not say America would be crippled, or that
America would
be defeated. He said America would disappear. When a
suspect in the Danny
Pearl kidnapping and murder case was being escorted by guards in
Pakistan a
couple of weeks ago, he reportedly shouted to the press, "Sell
your
dollars! Soon America will be gone."
What does Al Qaeda know that we don't?
CIA Director Tenet was very clear when he spoke to the U.S.
Senate
committee last week. He holds Russia responsible for giving
advanced mass
destruction technology to Iraq. And Tenet evidently believes
that Iraq is
allied to Al Qaeda. As STRATFOR explained, "Tenet delivered
a blunt
message to Putin: The United States believes that WMD proliferation is
official Russian policy." The Bush administration was offering a
stern
warning to Moscow. It must halt its technology transfers to
rogue regimes
or suffer the consequences. And what would those consequences
be?
STRATFOR claims that President Putin "faces the distinct
possibility of
attacks on Russian weapons facilities and the potential elimination of
his
country's nuclear capability."
This statement deserves further elaboration. But who dares to
elaborate? Is America actually contemplating a nuclear strike on
the
Russian nuclear arsenal? Only a very desperate crisis would
trigger such
unthinkable verbiage out of our bloodless bean counters.
In fact, if STRATFOR's report is correct, the United States is holding
Russia directly responsible for Saddam Hussien's future actions.
And this
should tell us, at the very least, that Saddam Hussein is a much more
terrible threat than the general public has been led to believe.
So
terrible is the threat, that U.S. officials find it necessary to
openly
threaten Russia in order to reestablish the balance of terror in the
wake
of Moscow's secret connivance with Iraq.
The revelations of yet another respected intelligence firm, DEBKA
File,
dovetails with STRATFOR's information. According to DEBKA, the
White House
is seriously considering tactical nuclear strikes against Iraq.
This
drastic approach can only be explained - once again - by a dire,
immediate
and frightening Iraqi potential. If not for this, U.S.
leaders would
hardly expend precious political and diplomatically capital by pushing
so
aggressively for the eradication of Saddam's regime in Baghdad.
According
to intelligence sources close to DEBKA, [See article.] "The White
House is
considering the use of tactical nuclear weapons and planning the
break-up
of Iraq . in a broad military campaign set now for April."
And why the hurry?
Surely, only a very grave threat would inspire such urgency in
U..S. policy-makers. DEBKA confirms that the reason for the
U.S. urgency
has to do with Iraq's possession of nuclear warheads, though DEBKA
does not
confirm that these are "s-megaton" micro nuclear
devices. Why the
U.S. would be concerned with large, more cumbersome and
detectable weapons
is a question that readers will have to sort for themselves.
According to
DEBKA, the main reason for a nuclear blitzkrieg against Iraq in April
would
be to "locate nuclear devices believed to be in the possession of
Saddam
Hussein." The idea would then be to destroy the weapons before
they could
be used to trigger a nuclear or biological holocaust. Judging by
the tempo
of U.S. moves, Iraq's nuclear capability will probably become
effective
some time after April 25. That is why, even though U.S.
military
authorities confess that we are unready to attack Iraq, an attack must
go
forward nonetheless. U.S. officials are also said to be
planning nuclear
strikes that would eliminate the top Iraqi leadership, opening the way
for
the negotiated surrender of individual Iraqi divisions and the
creation of
a Kurdish state in the north.
DEBKA further alleges that Vice President Richard Cheney received
intelligence during his recent Middle East trip that Iraq had already
transferred nuclear weapons to Al Qaeda, along with weaponized
smallpox. Cheney was supposedly told that some of these
munitions may have
been smuggled into the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Many will dismiss the claims of DEBKA, but according to Dr.
Robert Morey,
an Islam expert who predicted the Sept. 11 attacks, three small
nuclear
devices have been smuggled into the United States and are being held
in
reserve for future use. Speaking with the Assist News Service (ANS),
Dr.
Morey said: "I have Middle Eastern friends throughout the U.S.
who
continually feed me information as to what the terrorists are up
to."

Then comes the most curious and frightening story of them all, which
may
tie everything into one neat package. This story comes out of
Canada and
involves a U.S. citizen who has been granted political asylum by
Ottawa in
accordance with international law. The U.S. citizen in
question is
Delmart Edward Vreeland. [See article.]
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Artic
le_Type1&c=Article&cid=1011567751906&call_page=TS_News&call_pageid=968332188
492&call_pagepath=News/News
The United States government says that Vreeland is a petty criminal.
But
Vreeland identifies himself as a lieutenant with the Office of Naval
Intelligence who defected to Canada in December 2000 after retrieving
documents from Moscow. One of these documents, a communiqué
from
K. Hussaine of Iraq to V. Putin of Russia, discusses
"the initial phase
of our planned assault against the United States in September of 2001
and
after." Because of these shocking revelations, Vreeland maintains
that he
cannot return to the United States because the Russian mafia would
assassinate him and because an important American official would
assure
Vreeland's death or imprisonment upon his return. The Russian
document, in
fact, refers to "our official in America" who can
"assure" the desired
results if security should be compromised. The document does not name the official in question, but
Vreeland
believes it is someone with great influence.
I interviewed Mr. Vreeland on Monday and reviewed a key document he
allegedly retrieved from Moscow.
The communiqué from K. Hussaine to V. Putin (referred to above)
is dated
June 13, 2000, and was used by Vreeland to successfully predict the
Sept.
11 attack in a letter to Canadian prison authorities. The
document, which
names the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a nuclear power plant
as the
initial targets of Sept. 11, curiously describes these as
"diversionary
strikes" attributed to the work of "our brothers."
The
real attack, says the Iraqi official, will involve the use of "new s-megaton mini
satellite [guided] rocket[s]." This is a weapon that would be smuggled into
the
United States, and better resembles a small robot aircraft than a
missile. The striking power of this satellite guided toy rocket
is listed
as two megatons. The document says, "The shock wave from
the air burst of
our two megaton mini combined with its own reflection from the ground
will
form a blast wave of such power that everything will be destroyed within
8 to 13 U.S. miles of ground zero." The document also
refers to a top
secret Russian stealth satellite termination system (called S.S.S.T.). According to Vreeland, this is a stealth orbital
platform armed with clusters of electromagnetic pulse bombs capable of knocking out
global communications and frying U.S. nuclear warheads leaving the
Western
Hemisphere.
If Vreeland's information is reliable, we might have a handle on why
the
United States is threatening Russia with nuclear strikes. Like a
trapped
animal the U.S. realizes the mistake it has made.
Disarming after our
alleged Cold War victory was an error. Now the U.S. must make terrible threats and take drastic action
to restore the nuclear balance. To do this the United States must hold
Russia
directly responsible for Russian-supported and Iraqi-directed nuclear terrorism against the American homeland. By doing this, and by
mopping up Iraq, the United States might reestablish that same "balance of
terror" that kept the peace during the Cold War.
Readers may ask, "Is red mercury fact or fiction?"
U.S. officials have sometimes ridiculed red mercury as a hoax.
But not
former Russian Atomic Energy Minister Viktor Mikhailov, who once spoke
of a
new kind of bomb that could devastate "foreign territory"
while carrying no
risk of retaliation. During a Pravda interview almost a decade
ago,
Mikhailov described the existence of "little bombs" that
"could appear by
the year 2000." In 1993 General Y.Negin said that Russia had
developed
" American scientist Sam Cohen, inventor of the neutron bomb,
pointed out
in 1995 that such an increase in nuclear efficiency would only be
possible if the
Russians had developed a red mercury device.
Today the Russian Defense Ministry says red mercury doesn't exist.
Western
officials treat the subject dismissively. After all, Russian
smugglers
have created fake samples of red mercury, which have conveniently
fallen
into the hands of Western authorities. But Russian sources,
derided as
"questionable," continue to report that red mercury - first
produced in
1965 at a nuclear research center outside Moscow - is currently being
mass-produced at six secret sites in the Urals
at a rate of 150 pounds
per
year. United States officials would never admit that Russia had
developed
such a technology. Such an admission, after a decade of smug
denials,
would indicate incompetence and dereliction of duty in high places.
It
would indicate that U.S. strategic thinking has been blind, deaf
and
dumb. As any nuclear strategist might tell you:
The development in Russia of a micro-nuclear fusion bomb would
completely
change the strategic nuclear balance. Undetectable from space,
easy to
deliver, such a device could not be tracked or counted by
"national
technical means." In addition, it would be the ultimate terrorist
weapon.
Did Russia give Iraq red mercury fusion technology?
Last week CIA Director George Tenet pointed his finger directly at
Russia
for a reason. The United States now seeks the annihilation of
Saddam
Hussein for a reason. Mullah Omar and the killers of Danny Pearl
say that
America will soon be gone - perhaps with reason.
