"The bomb flashed and exploded like a micro nuke, but our Geiger
counters don't show any radiation"
By Joe Vialls, 21 October 2002
It was precisely 11.30 p.m. on Saturday 12 October 2002, when someone
somewhere pressed a button that sent a single coded radio-squirt to an
underground aerial located in a monsoon drain outside the Sari Club in
Bali. An unseen circuit closed and a primer fired, then one-millionth
of a
single second later, a terrible fireball formed under the street. Less
than
six inches in diameter and burning at a staggering 300,000 degrees
centigrade, the fireball was a perfect shimmering sphere, made possible
by
99.78% Plutonium 239 manufactured at Dimona in the Negev Desert.
Five microseconds passed while this fission monster from hell expanded,
then the already-cooling fireball tore its angry way out into the
street
above, vaporizing all victims standing within thirty feet while
simultaneously spreading two tons of deadly microscopic roadbed
shrapnel in
a lethal arc across Kuta Beach. Every survivor standing in direct
line-of-sight of its awesome ultraviolet emission received terrible
flash
burns, the like of which three eminent Australian burns surgeons would
later claim on TV they "had never seen before".
Less than ten-millionths of a second after the monster achieved
critical
mass, its searing thermal wave set fire to twenty-seven buildings in
the
immediate area, and spontaneously ignited automobiles parked two blocks
away from ground zero. But as you will read later in this report, no
ordinary Geiger counter from any nation could detect any radiation from
the
weapon.
This atrocity was the "punishment" meted out to Australians and
others
opposed to the Judeo-Christian Crusade against Islam. Ordinary everyday
people, Australians in particular, who had earlier been sensible enough
and
brave enough to speak out against their Prime Minister's slavish
obedience
to Ariel Sharon and George W. Bush in their ruthless quest to loot and
destroy the Middle East. But the fission monster from hell was also
designed to send a very clear and unmistakable message to like-minded
dissidents in Britain: "Jump on the crusade bandwagon quickly, or our
Dimona thought-reform folk will pay you a visit."
Political and paid "academic expert" whores were quickly thrust in
front of
television cameras to explain the inexplicable. How and why the bombing
happened in the first place, and increasingly as harsh reality kicked
in
and facts became clearer, why dozens of full-size human victims had
vanished completely without trace.
Every bomb expert in the world knows that conventional explosives lack
the
heat and velocity to "vanish" complete bodies in this manner, except
perhaps when crushed into total oblivion by a million tons of masonry
as
happened at the World Trade Center. When the dust from the biggest IRA
bomb
ever detonated in Northern Ireland finally cleared, the victims were
still
in the local area. Many were disassembled into large bloody body parts,
but
they were still generally recognizable.
When a diminutive member of Hamas recently detonated thirty pounds of
TNT
strapped tightly around his own chest in Palestine, emergency services
still had to remove large recognizable chunks of his dismembered body
from
the area. Believe me people, believe me, conventional explosive cannot
"vanish" citizens without trace, and Bali simply did not have a
million
tons of masonry available to fall on their heads. Only a nuclear weapon
has
the heat needed for instant cremation, combined with the incredibly
fast
shock wave needed to completely remove the resulting cremated particles
from the local area.
Next big problem for the politicians and "experts" was the large
crater
in
the street outside the Sari Club. Five feet deep and twenty-two feet in
diameter, the crater served as proof that the weapon was detonated
underground rather than on the surface. The only way any explosive can
cause a crater is if it is first dropped from an aircraft and
penetrates
sub-surface before exploding, or if it is physically positioned
sub-surface
in advance. The thousand-pound Omagh bomb detonated in Northern Ireland
by
the IRA during 1998 did not cause a crater, nor did any nuclear weapon
detonated above-ground regardless of equivalent TNT yield. Check the
test
sites yourself.
Politicians and "experts" alike had less of a problem than they
originally
thought with the crater. The helpful media folk simply refrained from
showing it on television or in the newspapers, and the brainwashed
public
soon forgot about the crater altogether. However, there were
considerably
more problems with the savage blast and horrific burns "never seen
before"
in Australia. Knowing that even the public would not believe these
could
have been caused by a large packet of runaway Chinese fire crackers, it
was
time to start dishing out some serious disinformation.
Less than 48 hours after the blast, media outlets claimed that
investigators at the crime scene, "had found traces of C4". This was
a
lie
but nonetheless devastating news, because everyone with a television
set
and a Sylvester Stallone or Bruce Willis video knows how awesome C4 is
[supposed] to be. Stallone sticks blocks of the stuff on every enemy
installation in sight, and Willis uses it to knock down skyscrapers. In
every case the resulting television blast is accompanied by a giant
fireball designed to impress the hell out of you, to the point where C4
has
become television's "most powerful explosive on earth". Unfortunately
C4 is
no such thing, and it is probably time to put this magic bullet down
once
and for all, and along with it all the other media myths surrounding
Bali.
Composition 4 [C4] is pretty dull stuff. Only 1.2 times as powerful as
TNT,
this plastic explosive gained its reputation primarily because of its
flexibility in use. You can shape it anyway you like, and stick it
wherever
you want including underwater with little personal risk. Composition 4
is a
stable and boring compound made from 91% RDX and 9% non-explosive
Polyisobutylene plasticiser. Think about the formulation people, think
very
carefully. Could this possibly mean that 100% plain old everyday RDX
actually has more explosive power than the Stallone and Willis magic
bullet? Sadly, yes it does. In fact about 9% more.
The media in Australia were reminded of C4's shortfalls, and further
advised the giant oily fireball that always accompanies its detonation
on
television is not real. The giant oily fireball is a special
pyrotechnic
effect designed specifically to satisfy the "armchair soldier"
lurking
inside many television viewers. Real C4 contains no incendiary
materials at
all, and has a brisance [velocity of detonation] of just over 26,300
feet
per second, tending to extinguish fires rather than light them.
This caused the media to swiftly put their heads together with their
paid
"experts" to find an explosive device that the public could really
believe
in, short of a micro nuke of course. Less than 24 hours later the
revised
media fiction went to air as, "a minivan full of gas bottles, with
explosives on top". Evidently the aim was to force the public to
believe
the weapon was a FAE [Fuel Air Explosive] commonly known as the "Poor
Man's
Atom Bomb", which was successfully dropped by American aircraft on both
Vietnam and Iraq.
Several telephone calls later, the media were forced to admit that a
Fuel
Air Weapon must be "burst" at least 100 feet above the target in
order
to
create a stable ethylene oxide gas cloud suitable for ignition. They
also
learned that even air-launched FAEs cannot make craters because they do
not
penetrate the earth, and the suction force developed by the weapon when
it
grabs oxygen for combustion, is sufficient to drag a victim's lungs out
through his or her mouth. Horrific though the injuries were in Bali,
there
were none even remotely like this.
By now the media and their paid "experts" were getting quite angry,
finally
suggesting in Australia that the blast and horrific burns were caused
by
high explosive "laced with napalm". The fact that napalm leaves dirty
stinking residue and soot all over the place, and produces burns quite
different from those on the victims appeared not to disturb them. But
the
napalm story failed to impress, and the media lead was taken over by
ITN in
London on 18 October, in the aloof haughty way that only a British
television station 'with real contacts' can manage:
"ITV News correspondent Julian Manyon, in the Indonesian capital,
Jakarta,
has been told by a highly placed western source that there was no
plastic
explosive and the bombers used a home-made brew similar to that which
the
IRA has relied on in the past in Northern Ireland and Canary Wharf. The
ingredients are readily available in Indonesia and experts suggest that
they were almost certainly mixed together on the island of Bali
itself." Oh
really? The IRA used one-thousand pounds of the stuff in the Omagh
photo
shown above, which killed nearly 30 people but made no crater, and
failed
dismally in its efforts to create an instant fiery war zone.
The perception of most members of the public where a critical nuclear
weapon is concerned, was shaped decades ago in the wake of the American
bombing of Hiroshima in Japan. An atomic bomb with a Uranium 235 core,
nicknamed "Little Boy", was detonated overhead the city with a TNT
equivalence of 15,000 tons. For nearly two generations thereafter,
members
of the public were 'taught' that this was the text book interpretation
for
use after any and all nuclear detonations, despite the fact that
nothing
could be further from the truth.
Little Boy was one of the 'dirtiest' fission weapons ever detonated in
the
atmosphere, with less than 1% of its critical mass undergoing true
fission.
Thus what remained after the explosion was a giant blizzard of lethal
neutron, alpha, beta and gamma radiation. For practical [amateur]
purposes
we can forget the short range neutron, alpha and beta radiation, which
has
trouble penetrating the human body.
Over time it was to be the gamma radiation that would inflict such
terrible
injuries on the survivors of Hiroshima, including necrosis and
ulceration.
It is this gamma radiation that a standard Geiger counter detects,
warning
users that they are entering a hazardous zone. The standard Geiger
counter
can also detect significant quantities of beta, though this is more
difficult. In summary, every Geiger counter within miles of Hiroshima
clicked furiously for weeks after Little Boy went critical, primarily
because of the gamma radiation.
Time passed and by the late fifties these fission weapons were being
"micronized" because they were needed as "core weapons" for
hydrogen
bombs.
Incredible temperatures are required to start the fusion reaction in a
hydrogen bomb, with the atom bomb the only device capable of providing
them. So for a while at least, the text books accurately referred to
the
hydrogen bomb as a "fission-fusion" weapon, meaning the heat from the
core
fission weapon [atom bomb] started the fusion reaction in the larger
weapon
encasing it [the hydrogen bomb].
It was not long before the scientists realized that in creating the
tiny
"core weapon" for the hydrogen bomb, they had also created a
relatively
lightweight micro nuclear weapon that could be carried by a single
soldier
for various uses against high value targets, including hydroelectric
power
stations and bridges. Less than two years later, the first of the SADM
[Special Atomic Demolition Munition] series shown at the top of this
page
was pressed into operational service. The "standard" SADM that
evolved
would eventually have a core of Plutonium 239 encased in a thin shell
of
non-fissile Uranium 238 known as a "neutron reflector". Plutonium and
Napalm flash burns - but can you tell which are which?
When the 10-ton TNT equivalence SADM went critical, it obviously
created
far less radiation than the huge and inappropriately named "Little
Boy"
at
Hiroshima, but still produced dangerously high levels of residual
radiation. Most of this came from SADM's very "dirty" Uranium 238
reflector, which along with its Plutonium 239 core, exploded into
millions
of particles at the point of criticality. This same non-fissile Uranium
238
material still causes serious illnesses today, after being fired by
American tanks and aircraft as sub-critical Depleted Uranium [DU]
shells or
missile warheads. Ask anyone in southern Iraq and Kosovo how sick this
stuff can make you.
The years rolled by and top-secret projects were initiated in America
and
Israel to replace the old SADM with its heavy weight and excess
radioactivity, culminating in the successful development and testing at
Dimona during 1981 of the "new" micro nuclear device. Using advanced
nuclear physics, the scientists found a way of detonating the new
"suitcase" bomb without the use of a Uranium 238 reflector, and
further
refined the Plutonium 239 in its core to 99.78%. These measures
resulted in
a weapon considerably smaller and lighter than SADM, which also had
another
enormous advantage.
The new Dimona micro nuke was the very first critical weapon that could
be
used in "stealth" mode. Gone was the dirty Uranium 238 reflector, and
up
went the purity of the smaller Plutonium 239 core. You see, Plutonium
emits
only alpha radiation, which is for all practical purposes "invisible"
to a
standard Geiger counter. If you do not believe me then ask the American
Environmental Protection Agency, whose staff will confirm this.
In direct contrast with its more deadly cousins beta and gamma, alpha
can
travel only a few feet and is incapable of penetrating human skin. If
you
can afford an incredibly expensive and highly-specialized Muller tube
or
similar, you may be able to detect tiny amounts of alpha directly
outside
the Sari Club, though you will more than likely be defeated in this
quest
by the Bali environment.
Remember that this micro nuke was a tiny weapon in terms of critical
mass,
with its limited number of particles distributed over a very wide area.
You
will have to be within five feet to detect a single particle, and most
may
have already washed away. Bali lies in the Monsoon Belt with frequent
heavy
showers, and the Sari Club is located less than 200 yards away from the
surf at Kuta Beach, which is where the monsoon drains in Kuta main
street
flow into the ocean. One week on from the blast, detection may already
be
too late.
Though the alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, such radiation is
extremely harardous if inhaled because Plutonium is the most toxic
substance known to man. If you breathed in a mouthful immediately after
the
blast you would be dead in less than an hour, perhaps within minutes.
