Greetings my brothers and sister. May Jah bless.

And yet another story hits the news:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/politics ... index.html

May all be well with you.

Thank you for that article Dear Armand. While reading it I stopped to look up the term “fissile” and found this article:

https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/fi ... erials.pdf

Then I went into Google to ask how long does it take to make a nuclear bomb:

A decade, even if the necessary technology, funding, equipment and scientific expertise were available, due to the difficulties of producing fissile material. If a group started with fissile material obtained elsewhere, it could make an elementary nuclear weapon in less than one year.

So my question is( if anyone knows) can they make multiple bombs simultaneous, or because of the complexity only one at a time?


Peace to all

Greetings and may Jah bless all here. Dear, Happy, I can't answer your question. Perhaps someone else can. Here are two more articles:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/politics ... index.html

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/09/middleea ... index.html

Interesting news bites. . . .

Greetings and peace to you (and your dear household!), my dear sister HTBO!

Quote:
"... can they make multiple bombs simultaneous, or because of the complexity only one at a time?"


The bombing events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on August 6th and 9th, 1945, respectively, indicates that, while perhaps several/many bombs can't be made at a time (although I believe several/many can be if sufficient materials and resources, including labor, exist at the time), certainly more than one can be made at a time.

The Manhattan Project, sanctioned by the US, UK, and Canada purusant to the Quebec Agreement, produced two and different types of atomic bombs:

- The uranium gun-type bomb (aka "Little Boy"), dropped on Hiroshima, and

- The plutonium implosion bomb (aka "Fat Man") dropped on Nagasaki.

Combined, the 2 bombs killed "between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians." No longer existing naturally on our planet, plutonium is made when uranium is enriched. The number one method for enrichment is the waste created by nuclear reactors. And nuclear reactors are one of the major means for producing energy... electricity... on our planet. Indeed, as of November 28, 2016, three years ago, 31 countries operated 450 nuclear power plant units around the globe. At least 108 of those are operated by... wait for it... the US (https://www.nrc.gov/info-finder/reactors/). And various candidates for the 2020 election are calling for more reactors (although catastrophic should an event occur, it's a fraction of the cost to consumers than oil, wind, solar, and hydro generated energy

[NOTE: I remember when Sacto had SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District). I paid like $15/month when PGE customers in nearby areas were paying $70! I actually worked at the reactor at Rancho Seco (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_ ... ng_Station) for a time during its decommissioning (when I worked for SMUD - few clerical employees would volunteer to go out there). And a good deal of what I learned about radiation and nuclear reactors/energy while working there helped with my understanding when our dear Lord was sharing the info in The Paper. And so, I'm sure that, while also extremely dangerous if not handled properly, that's why the Ark was such a brilliant technological device - very cheap light and heat for several million people - LOLOL! ]

You can read about the Manhattan Project, the [nuclear] developed under it and since, the Quebec Agreement, and the outcomes, etc., in these links:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_ ... d_Nagasaki

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon

I hope that's helpful to you.

Again, peace to you, dear sister!

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,

Shel

Pompeo accuses Iran of 'unprecedented attack' after drones hit Saudi oil facilities

Very interesting events, dear HBTO (peace to you, my dear sister, and to the fam'!). Especially this:

Mike Pompeo -

Quote:
"Tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia while [President Hassan] Rouhani and [Foreign Minister Mohammad] Zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy," " ... There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen."


Yet:

Quote:
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack hours before Pompeo's tweet. 


Whats going on?

Quote:
According to multiple news reports that cited unidentified sources, the drone attacks affected up to half of the supplies from the world's largest exporter of oil, though the output should be restored within days. It remained unclear if anyone was injured at the Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Khurais oil field.


Sounds like Iran is being set up using the same kind of "trumped-up" reasoning the Bush Admin used when it went after Sadaam Hussein (who did not have WMDs... and the US knew it - he only lied and said he had yellowcake, which he didn't, to scare off those (US/Saudi Arabia) stealing oil from Iraqi oil fields near the Kuwait border by drilling underground from Kuwait): to appease OPEC and keep oil prices down for US consumers. Why do I say that?

Pompeo -

Quote:
"The United States will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression"...


Trump -

Quote:
"The United States strongly condemns today’s attack on critical energy infrastructure. Violent actions against civilian areas and infrastructure vital to the global economy only deepen conflict and mistrust. The United States Government is monitoring the situation and remains committed to ensuring global oil markets are stable and well supplied."


The entire region produces oil and sells on the global market. Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, so of course there's competition. Is Iran actually attacking Saudi Arabia, though?

Quote:
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, denounced Pompeo's description of the attack, calling it an "irresponsible simplification."

Quote:
"This is such irresponsible simplification and it’s how WE get into dumb wars of choice. "The Saudis and Houthis are at war. The Saudis attack the Houthis and the Houthis attack back. Iran is backing the Houthis and has been a bad actor, but it’s just not as simple as Houthis=Iran.


What do the Houthis have to say about it?

Quote:
In a short address aired by the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah satellite news channel, military spokesman Yahia Sarie said the rebels launched 10 drones after receiving “intelligence” support from those inside the kingdom. He warned that attacks by the rebels would only get worse if the war continues.

"The only option for the Saudi government is to stop attacking us," Sarie said.


Intelligence inside the kingdom (of Saudi Arabia). What "intelligence"? Since it's Saudi Arabia, it cn only be from one source: other Muslims.

Hence, the stupidity of the US. While the Saudi king might be pro-US (money), I believe the Saudi crown prince is a dark horse and his plan will be to unite the Muslim world. Starting with uniting to three largest middle eastern oil producers: Saudi Arabia, Iraq... and Iran. The three countries where or near the Shatt Al Arab, the place where the Euphrates converges with Tigris... and the main source of contention between the three. Because that's the main entry... to the Persian Gulf. And everyone has "oil refineries" either along the gulf or along the Shatt Al Arab. And everyone uses the Gulf to export their oil.

I say "oil refineries" because I don't think they all are. I believe at least one, if not more, are is/are a front for a uranium processing facility. And I believe the Gulf... and close proximity... is/will be how Saudi Arabia gets uranium/plutonium to Iran. Saudi Arabia is only 10 hours, through Kuwait, its ally, to the Shatt Al Arab.

And that is where the "four winds" are unleashed.

And no point in telling anyone, if anyone has a mind/heart to. Not only will you not be listened to or perhaps even locked up (as a spy), it's JaH's will and so already done. All we can do is wait. And maybe drive more fuel-efficient cars (LOLOL!). Because it is this great dependenct on oil... and its accompaning greed... that's responsible for both "christians," Jews, and Muslims killing innocent Muslims, Jews, and "christians."

Electric cars only? Day is coming, as several Dem candidates vowed to see occur. And makes sense. Much easier for an all electric world to be brought under the Holy and MOST Holy. We're gonna make it able to occur ourselves. Best be IN the "Ark" of the NEW Covenant when it does, then, yes?

Peace to you ALL and to your dear households!

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,

Shel

Just in from CNN:

Satellite images suggest strikes came from... wait for it... Iraq. While currently having conflict between them, both the US and Iran are "allies" to Baghdad, the US via support of the Iraqi government (which they helped put in place), and Iran via support of the Muslim populace.

So, strike on Saudi oil fields could have come from Irani influences in Iraq... or US influences in Iraq.

Hypothetically: what if Saudis find out US (and its ally, Israel) is behind these attacks in order to (falsely) increase conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran? That could really backfire...

Things that make one go "hmmmm"...

Peace! And maybe not so much greed over oil?

Tweet from Mr. Trump re attack on Saudi oil fields:

[quote]"Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification[/b], but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!

For the first time, I experienced a brief feeling of absolute terror... and my heart literally skipped a beat. It was very brief, but shook me a bit.
Not that anything is necessarily imminent. The issue will (appear to) be resolved between the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Israel, etc., first. Because there will be (an appearance) of peace (and security).

Does that come due to an overarching truce? That would seem to be the case, but I truly don't know. What I do know is that this is 2019 and
2021 is just around the corner. And I don't think Mr. Trump has any idea just how locked and loaded Iran is. I don't think any of the players do... except Saudi Arabia. Maybe that's why THEY aren't pointing a finger at Iran (yet). Ah, well...

Peace to you all. I hope you are still "awake"... but, even more, that have enough "oil" in your "lamps" for when you fall asleep, as we all might do.

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,

Shel

Thanks, dear C&DL (peace to you, luv!).

There's no doubt that the Houtis used Iranian missles, but that doesn'tmean Iran made the attacks. Iran is backing the Houtis by selling them weapons; however, it's because Saudi Arabia is attacking Yemen (Houtis territory)... and they're using US weapons (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatod ... p/39208809). So, if Iran is responsible for how Yemen rebels use their weapons, the US is responsible for how Saudi Arabia uses their weapons. Starting with... wait for it... September 11, 2001.

Fifteen of the 19 men involved in 9/11 were Saudi - two were UAE, one was Egyptian, and one was Lebanese - all "ally" countries. None... were Iranian. Saudi Arabian officials and collaborators brought down the twin towers (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljaze ... 26350.html). Osama Bin Laden, the war chief, was not only from Saudi Arabia's 3rd most wealthy family but was trained AND ARMED by the US (to counter Russia's invasion of Afghanistan - you know, one of the 3 sources of opium for US Big Pharma... along with Vietnam (who kicked our asses... and Venezuela, who we now have a problem with).

The US is not going to come to Yemen's aid because it's too dependent on Saudi Arabia to buy arms from us in exchange for selling us cheap oil. So much so that Mr. Trump is waiting for instructions from the Saudi kingdom. But... they're our "allies." Nevermind that every member of the Saudi royal family in the US at the time was allowed to leave... before all US planes were forced to land and all US airports were closed (https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/S ... _Nationals).

What's the deal-i-o? OPEC (some REALLY good info here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEC). Oil. We don't wanna give up our gas, plain and simple. If you notice, the names US, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, UAE, Kuwait... are all associated with conflict. Why? Oil... and the tycoons made filthy rich by its production (https://investingnews.com/daily/resourc ... countries/).

Can make one rethink the "oil" mentioned in Revelation 6:6. Maybe the being didn't mean olive oil. I mean, since the "wheat" and "barley" are gonna be unaffordable...

Ah, well...

Thanks for sharing those links and peace to you!

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,

Shel
