Bali

"* "The US produced, and for many years deployed 'Atomic Demolition Munitions'. The Medium Atomic Demolition Munition (MADM) produced 1-15 kilotons of yield, and weighed 400 pounds. The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) yielded .01-1 kilotons and weighed only 163 pounds."

Some disinformation has poured out of Establishment websites these past two contending the Bali Blast could not be nuclear because we do not have any warheads less than 1.0 kilotons; yet, here we see that we have nuclear warheads as small as 0.01 kilotons, exactly the type of blast in Bali.

* The smallest nuclear weapon the US actually produced and fielded was the "Davy Crockett" - a recoilless rifle round. It weighed about 51 pounds, was 16 inches long and 11 inches in diameter. It produced a variable yield of up to 1 kiloton."

U.S. officials examine a M-388 Davy Crockett nuclear weapon. 

It used the smallest nuclear warhead ever developed by the United States.

Can you believe this? We developed a "rifle round", recoilless at that! Further, our troops had this weapon in 1959! The technology is very "mature"; we just have not kept pace with it, as our leaders did not want us to know how far advanced our capabilities were."

The "High-Impact Terrorism: Proceedings of a Russian-American Workshop (2002)", The National Academies Press, quoted above, stated that the average citizen had significant misconceptions about nuclear weapons; during the planned terrorism phase, these misconceptions would be greatly preyed upon in order to produce the general sense of panic so needed in order to dissolve our entire system of government.

The Brookings Institute page lists some even more citizen misconceptions:

* "There was no significant fallout in the vicinity of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. All radiation injuries were a result of immediate (first 1 minute) radiation."

* "The only cases of significant fallout exposure (as of 1964) to individuals (other than globally ) was in the Marshall Islands after a U.S. test. The short term effects were skin 'burns'. As of 1964, no long term effects were known, although a slight excess cancer rate would be expected based on modern knowledge."

* "Almost all radioactivity in fallout - even in a ground burst - comes from the fission products themselves or transmutation of parts of the weapon. Thus air bursts and ground bursts produce approximately the same amount of radioactive products. However, ground bursts cause much more of the radioactive debris to be deposited within a fallout pattern, rather than distributed (and accordingly diluted and decayed) across the entire planet."

How many times have we been subjected to the scare tactic that a nuclear war could produce a "Silent Spring" for the entire planet, rendering life impossible for thousands of years? The scare tactics that have been shoved down our throats during the past 50 years is incredible, and is setting us up for the final panics.

* "The blast effect is primarily determined by the "overpressure" - given in english units in PSI. A human being can withstand up to about 35PSI of peak overpressure from a nuclear blast (1% fatality rate). Your mileage may vary. Thus a human will almost always survive the blast overpressure at approximately the following distances (slant range) from a blast according to the following table": 

[NOTE: This Brookings Institute report then lists a table which gives the statistics for various explosive yields, including the 20 kilotons blast at Hiroshima; when we extrapolate these statistics, we see that the news reports from Bali are consistent with these scientific data.]
