may i add that no not all muslims are terrorists

ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIM

Those who fight invaders and occupiers are terrorists. In that sense yes all the Muslims are terrorists.

IN LATE 2003 I JESSE SAW A NUCLEAR BLAST IN AMERICA U.S.A.

WATCH MY VIDEO'S I MADE OF MY EYE WITNESS TESTIMONIES...

There's only one nuclear threat I see, and it's not outside of US.

[THATW3IRDKID]

I doubt cavemen can make a nuclear bomb.

Fall of 2011. When you start hearing media hype about Al Qaeda and nukes/biological and/or about Kazakstan, that's the time for 2nd 9/11. They need an excuse to secure oil & natural gas rich Kazakstan. A nuke/biological weapon that kills tens of millions is a perfect excuse.

As far as NWO. Simply a nuke in U.S. city is not enough. Russia is going to respond as U.S. is moving into Kazakstan. WW3. That sounds like an event big enough.

good assessment.

This is a serious issue. Nuclear weaponry was less of a threat during the cold war than it is now since we all played by the rules and understood using them meant almost certain mutual destruction.

One of these crazy jihad fuckers gets one and uses it what can we do? Sorry Pakistan but I think we may have to blow your country off the map, better get control of the rampant terrorist douche bags there.

Have you watched the "Operation Blackjack" vids out there yet? You should. I agree there are nukes coming. Blackjack is a game also called 21. Feb 1st 2010...or...2/1/2010. Avian flu outbreak at the same time. 2/1/2010 is Imbolg...satanic sacrificial holiday! Also, National Freedom Day....also, SuperBowl Sunday. Just imagine the nationalism they will be able to muster out of us when the SuperBowl is cancelled.

A nuclear attack is going to happen in USA. I don't know when, but I think it will be soon. It will pave the way for a New World Order and a One World Financial System.

So fuck all religion.

Fuck all the rag heads and Christians.

One Way: The Agnostic Way.

Proof: or STFU.

Welcome to Education Time (UK) , ladies:

A "briefcase" nuke attack on the domestic States would be a small-yield device, but still devastating.

Assumed USA retaliation would be the States firing a nuclear-tipped cruise at North Korea or Iran, et al.

This would piss China / Soviets off due to transmitted nuclear fallout carried by the wind.

This could result in massive nuclear escalation and a global exchange.

Ergo: one "briefcase" owned by one fucking religious cunt could murder us all.

I feel depressed when I am listening theese guys talking; considering who they are, that's more scarry! They should figure in a blink: a terorist atack in a crowded city could be raher conducted by using biological weapons. And that's a million times scarrier than a 'high tech hard to achieve' atomic one
