http://www.activistpost.com/2013/05/israeli-airstrikes-signal-western.html

Of course, airstrikes inside Syria go beyond "posturing," and indicate perhaps a level of desperation in the West who appear to have elected their chief villain, Israel, to incrementally "intervene" just as they had planned in regards to attacking Iran (http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/03/israel-us-partners-in-international.html) - also documented by Brookings in a report titled, "Which Path to Persia? (http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/02/brookings-which-path-to-persia.html)"

In regards to Iran, in Brookings' "Which Path to Persia?" report, it states specifically (emphasis added):

Israel appears to have done extensive planning and practice for such a strike already, and its aircraft are probably already based as close to Iran as possible. as such, Israel might be able to launch the strike in a matter of weeks or even days, depending on what weather and intelligence conditions it felt it needed. Moreover, since Israel would have much less of a need (or even interest) in securing regional support for the operation, Jerusalem probably would feel less motivated to wait for an Iranian provocation before attacking. In short, Israel could move very fast to implement this option if both Israeli and American leaders wanted it to happen.

However, as noted in the previous chapter, the airstrikes themselves are really just the start of this policy. Again, the Iranians would doubtless rebuild their nuclear sites. They would probably retaliate against Israel, and they might retaliate against the United States, too (which might create a pretext for American airstrikes or even an invasion). - page 91, Which Path to Perisa?, Brookings Institution (http://www.scribd.com/doc/108902116/Brookings-Institution-s-Which-Path-to-Persia-Report).And in this statement we can gather insight behind both Israel's otherwise irrational belligerent posture (http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-israeli-nightmare.html) throughout its brief history, as well as its more recent acts of unprovoked aggression against Syria. Israel's role is to play the "bad guy." As a regional beachhead for Western corporate-financier interests, it provides a "foot in the door" to any of the West's many desired conflicts. By bombing Syria, it hopes to provoke a wider conflict - an intervention the West has desired and planned for since it tipped off Syria's violent conflict in 2011.

For Syria and its allies - the goal now must be to deter further Israeli aggression and avoid wider conflict at all costs. If NATO's proxy terrorist forces are as weak as they appear - incapable of tactical or strategic gains, and tapering off into desperate terrorist attacks, it is only a matter of time before NATO's campaign grinds to a halt. As mentioned before (http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/07/if-us-loses-syria-us-loses-its-empire.html), such a failure on NATO's part will be the beginning of the end for it, and the Western interests that have been using it as a tool to achieve geopolitical hegemony.

Israel should be expected to commit to increasingly desperate acts to provoke Syria and Iran - as its leadership represent directly corporate-financier interests abroad, not the Israeli people, or their best interests (including peace and even survival). For the people of Israel, they must realize that their leadership indeed does not represent them or their best interests and is able, willing, and even eager to spend their lives and fortunes (http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/11/netanyahu-leading-israel-to-avoidable.html) in the service of foreign, corporate-financier interests and global hegemony.

But isn't that what they want? America has a limited time-frame until our dollar crashes and our military power dissolves. Israel goes shortly after that. They want to get this thing started before that happens.

More vids here, guess Israel gets mad when it loses an airplane.

Some secondary explosions at altitude.

Doesn't look like an internationally approved bomb.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34829.htm

[Norweger]

I've read several angles already.

First that they destroyed a compound that had biological weapons stored which ties in with another lie they made earlier that the Syrian Arab army supposedly used that against the population.. the second angle is that they blew up rockets destined for Hezbollah and that they came from Iran. They are killing two birds with one stone here.

The retarded war supporters doesn't even stop to question these contradictions.

Is this the beginning of the destruction of Damascus, as described in Isaiah 17?
http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/damascus-israel-isaiah-nuke.htm

I don't think this could have been a strike on an ammunition depot, no way it would all explode at once. Either a huge conventional bomb or a tactical nuke, possibly on a chemical depot, since strange odors were felt in the city with coughing. This is a clear warcrime, unprovoked to boot!

About half an hour ago, new reporting on Reuters mentions new Israeli attacks on Damascus, with big explosions, but my Internet is very slow today so I can't enter...

[Terry853]

I suspect an FAE. Fuel air explosion. It sucks the oxygen out of the air for a great distance and kills a lot of people. It seems there was a large bodycount. This is all such bullshit. Thousands of decent people wiped out for what..

[Spectrism]

How is this a "nuclear-type" bomb? Did all the electronics get wiped out by EMP? Is there radioactive fallout?

It was a ground burst as evident by the debris cloud. All bombs make mushroom clouds. Big bombs make big mushroom clouds.

[Plastic]

There is one vid spectrism, that shows secondary detonations or lightning inside the mushroom cloud. Nearly 20 years of active duty and I have never seen that before in any type of weapon.

remember when they did the flotilla for Gaza, and Israel attacked them, boarded the ships, even killed people, well the public condemnation was HUGE!

all the world took a look at Israel, and decided it was not a very nice neighbor

see, with jewish control of media (and internet to a lesser degree), this is one of the few ways to turn public opinion...

Israelis have all their forces, including reservists, on the border, you walk into their trap....

better to wait a period, look at all options

[Large Sarge]

I think that bomb was some sort of fuel air bomb,

the flash from a nuke would not even be visible on an unguarded camera lens

it would just go white, yet we make out details, etc

plus the EMP blast would sizzle the camera.

they probably have some sort of bunker system under that depot, and Israel ddecided to use a fuel air bomb, to suffocate them all in their bunkers....


I am not saying Israel would not use a nuke, they will/would, but I do not think that was one.

I am not saying Israel would not use a nuke, they will/would, but I do not think that was one.

it depends on the distance.

signal strength decreases as the square of the distance from the source, though signal strength for EM is measured in dB (a log type scale).


in general i think Israel is one big killing machine and they are experts in designing killing machines.

the EMP signature of non-conventional nukes - probably more than one pHD dissertation has been written on that subject. i.e. it has some complexity.

i wonder what happened to cell-phone reception in the region, at various distances from the big blast in the video.


does Israel get a commission from the cell-phone company for destroying people's cell-phones, so they have to buy another ?

Bunker buster nuke? If the nuke explodes underground, most of the radiation would be absorbed in the ground, and you may have had an appearance like today's bomb?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_bunker_buster

you know this could be the test run for the attack on Irans underground nuclear facilities

[Large Sarge]

no, from what I saw, the fire climbed up and out, a nuclear explosion is more of a wave...

the fire was riding a wave of fuel and oxygen (from my observation)

that's what caused the weird signature of the flame....


you see those old pictures from Nevada, and the nuke goes off, and its like dropping a pebble in the lake, the wave goes out...

there was no wave....

a nuclear reaction is a nuclear reaction, its the law of physics,

like a fuel air bomb works with a rapid detonation of fuel mixed with oxygen...

the nuke explodes at a small central point, and expands out as heat and shockwave...

again, let me emphasize, this is just my own observation, I could be wrong...

but the way the flames climbed, and spread, did not appear nuclear...


and often after a nuclear blast, its like it almost creates a small vacuum at the point of detonation, you see a "woosh" as a small part rushed back in towards the blast,

did not discern that either

I wouldn't want to be within a 500 mile radius of that blast,

I would imagine a bunker buster nuke would in appearance be somewhere in between the air blast and an underground nuclear test, this blast was absolutely enormous, I have a hard time seeing a fuelbomb creating such a blast experienced like that on 2 miles distance, there just isn't enough oxygen to feed a blast like that... Has it been seen previously?

fuel air would not get much if any seismic activity,

[Dogman]

No dog in this, but the visible fireball plus all of the crap that was thrown up into the air in the explosion if the device was a nuke would be radioactive. There would be a huge downwind fallout pattern.

There is no way to keep the radioactive part underground with the explosion shown in the video posted.

Reading LS post, if it was a large ammo dump that detonated that maybe would cause the seismic action?

Sure you would get radioactive debris coming down, but not the intense x-rays and ultraviolet radiation that create burns if the detonation was underground cause it has to pass through earth before, and you are right if it was ammunition detonating in a depo then that could create an earthquake...

[Horn]

Oklahoma city registered a 3 on Richter scale, so fuel air could probably still do that.

If a nuke that fireball shown would be emitting all sorts of radiation. The explosion did look like the explosion started underground, but that could be explained if the bomb (?) was not set for air burst, and was more of a contact fuse one that penetrated the ground before it detonated or was a ground penetrating design as in a bunker buster. (huge one)

Just my dos centavos.

Sure it could have been a huge conventional bunker buster bomb...

[Horn]

The US military recently developed the 21,000 lb MOAB bomb (right), but this not been used in combat. A huge bomb is often superior to hundreds of smaller bombs because it creates a massive overpressure shockwave that can crush large buildings and kill people inside tanks and bunkers. These bombs should not be used against cities, but enemy troop concentrations or airbases can be flattened. If these bombs are dropped in wartime, the shockwave and mushroom cloud will send many troops running for home. They are also ideal for clearing a minefield up to one kilometer across.

I suspect an FAE. Fuel air explosion. It sucks the oxygen out of the air for a great distance and kills a lot of people. It seems there was a large bodycount. This is all such bullshit. Thousands of decent people wiped out for what..

That sounds about right. Use some huge bomb with depleted uranium to knock out a storage site right next to Damascus so the whole city can be terrorized. But it sounds like Israel is actually the one who suffered greater losses here....they lost two fighters.

[Spectrism]

Nukes that are detonated at ground level are WORSE than nukes at air burst. A ground level burst of ionizing radiation makes tons of radioactive new debris in addition to the bomb radiactive compounds.

This was not a nuke. Just that you have close video camera recordings of the blast should tell you it was not a nuke.

Another word being used is "tactical" nuke. Anyone know what that means? The tactical nukes I am familiar with are gamma-ray monsters that are airburst. They kill anything living underneath and wipe out electronics. They produce minimal fallout and will not permanently ruin the land.

After the airstrikes: Scenes of devastation left by Israeli rockets as Syria pledges retaliation for the 'declaration of war'



Pictures emerge showing destruction caused to buildings by airstrikes
Syria pledges to retaliate against Israel 'in its own time and way'
Threats follow two raids by Israel on Syria in the past three days

Bulldozers are clearing away rubble from buildings razed to the ground by Israeli airstrikes near Damascus, as Syria pledges retaliation for the 'declaration of war'.
Pictures have emerged from Syria showing the damage caused to buildings, including some forming part of a chicken farm, by an attack in Al-Hama - close to Jamraya where a research centre was targeted.

Senior government ministers in Syria warned its neighbour it risked engulfing the Middle East in conflict after carrying out airstrikes twice in the past three days.

Faisal al Mekdad, Syria's deputy foreign minister, pledged that the country would retaliate against Israel 'in its own time and way' after a weapons factory and other military facilities were bombed.
Israel claimed it was targeting Iranian weapons bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon. But Syrian officials accused Israel of carrying out 'terrorist acts' on behalf of jihadi groups trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.


Israel's second raid on Syria in 48 hours signalled a massive escalation of its involvement in the two-year civil war. Video footage showed dramatic orange-flamed blasts over Damascus's skyline after weapons dumps were hit in the raids, which also killed several people.
Eyewitness Mohammed Saeed said: 'The explosions were so strong the earth shook under us.'

Syria said three military sites had been hit: the research centre at Jamraya; a paragliding airport in the al-Dimas area of Damascus, and a site in Maysaloun.
A statement from the Syrian Foreign Ministry said: 'The Israeli attack led to the fall of a number of martyrs and wounded from the ranks of Syrian citizens, and led to widespread destruction in these sites and in the civilian districts near to them.
'This leaves no room for doubt Israel is the beneficiary, the mover and sometime the executor of the terrorist acts which Syria is witnessing and which target it as a state and people directly or through its tools inside.'

Syrian information minister Omran al-Zohbi warned the attack made the Middle East 'more dangerous' and 'opens the door wide to all possibilities'.

He added that Syria had the duty 'to defend its people by all available means'.

Israel's main target in the latest raid was believed to be stores of Conqueror missiles in transit from Syria's ally, Iran, to Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

On Friday, Israeli aircraft also hit a shipment of missiles near the Lebanon border, according to US and Israeli officials. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned it would take military action to prevent such weapons from reaching Hezbollah, which fought a month long war with Israel in 2006.

Regime accused of Sunni massacre

The Syrian regime was yesterday accused of massacring Sunni families in a campaign of 'sectarian cleansing'.

Horrific images emerged of more than 100 bodies found in the town of Banias and nearby village of Bayda, which are in the heartlands of President Bashar al-Assad's rival Shia sect.

A baby and a young girl were piled among a dozen members of one family, while other pictures show the mutilated and burned bodies of Sunnis.

The US State Department reported that pro-government forces destroyed Bayda with mortars then executed surviving families.

Local opposition groups accused the government of launching a campaign of sectarian cleansing.

The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights said about 4,000 Sunnis had fled Banias amid fears of further massacres.

The Syrian government claimed that it had fought 'terrorist groups' and restored security to the area.


Uzi Rubin, a missile expert and former Israeli defence ministry official, said: 'If fired from southern Lebanon [the Conqueror missiles] can reach Tel Aviv. It is a game changer because they are a threat to Israel's infrastructure and military installations.'

Israel previously targeted the Jamraya research centre in January. Western officials have suggested that it is involved in chemical weapons research.

The air strikes come as the US is considering whether to launch military action against the Syrian regime after reports it had used chemical weapons against rebels.
Israeli officials say the targets are shipments of highly accurate, Iranian-made guided missiles known as Fateh-110s, but Syria's foreign ministry said the attacks show co-ordination with 'terrorists' including al-Qaeda linked militants.
The strikes had led to a number of casualties and widespread damage, it was reported in a letter sent to the UN.
'The flagrant Israeli attack on armed forces sites in Syria underlines the co-ordination between 'Israel', terrorist groups and... the al-Nusra Front," the statement said, referring to al-Qaeda militants fighting with the rebels.'
Fateh-110 missiles which carry a half-ton warhead is a short-range ballistic missile developed by Iran and first put into service in 2002.

The Islamic Republic unveiled an upgraded version last year that improved the weapon's accuracy and increased its range to 300 kilometers (185 miles).
On Friday Israeli aircraft hit a shipment of the missiles in Syria, according to unnamed US and Israeli officials.

Video footage uploaded onto the Internet showed a series of explosions. One lit up the skyline over the city, while another sent up a tower of flames and secondary blasts.
A Western intelligence source told Reuters the operation hit Iranian-supplied missiles which were en route to Hezbollah.
'In last night's attack, as in the previous one, what was attacked were stores of Fateh-110 missiles that were in transit from Iran to Hezbollah,' the source said.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the scale of the attack meant it was beyond the military capability of Syrian rebels, and quoted eyewitnesses in the area as saying they saw jets in the sky at the time of the blasts.
Syrian television said: 'The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army.'

The U.S. State Department had no immediate comment and the Israeli Embassy in Washington declined comment.
If confirmed, Sunday's attack would be Israel's third strike inside Syria since late January, but there was no immediate comment from Israeli officials.
'We don't respond to this kind of report,' said an Israeli military spokeswoman.
The Observatory said the blasts hit Jamraya as well as a nearby ammunition depot. Other activists said a missile brigade and two Republican Guard battalions may also have been targeted in the heavily militarised area just north of Damascus.
Damascus-based journalist Alaa Ebrahim told the BBC that one of the blasts was 'the biggest explosion' the city had seen since the conflict began two years ago.

He said residents living near Jamraya reported feeling a 'mild earthquake' just before the blast, indicating that the rockets may have hit an underground facility.
At least 70,000 people have been killed in the bloody civil war between President Bashar Assad's regime forces and rebels.

The latest airstrikes come after reports of 'sectarian 'massacres near the coastal region of central Syria.

Activists said that more than 100 people, including women and children, were killed in the Sunni village of al-Bayda and the nearby coastal town of Baniyas.

The Israeli strikes follow days of renewed concerns that Syria might be using chemical weapons against opposition forces. U.S. President Barack Obama has characterized evidence of the use of chemical weapons as a 'game-changer' that would have 'enormous consequences.'

CAPTION.........


Fvck me,what a night ,we got really bombed

[Neuro]

Regardless if it was a bunker buster nuke or conventional depleted uranium bunker buster or a fuel air bomb, I think this was a practice run for Iran campaign. We haven't seen anything re elevated radiation levels in Damascus, so I guess that means it wasn't a nuke...

[Son-of-Liberty]

Not saying I think I know what it was but it could have been a daisy cutter type bomb. Check out the specs on this one.


Specifications

The Daisy Cutter has sometimes been incorrectly reported as a fuel-air explosive device (FAE). These devices consist of a flammable liquid and a dispersing mechanism, and take their oxidizers from the oxygen in the air. FAEs generally run between 500 and 2,000 pounds (225 and 900 kg). Making an FAE the size of a Daisy Cutter would be difficult because the correct uniform mixture of the flammable agent with the ambient air would be difficult to maintain if the agent were so widely dispersed. A conventional explosive is much more reliable in that regard, particularly if there is significant wind or thermal gradient.

The BLU-82 uses ammonium nitrate and aluminum (cf. ammonal).[2] The warhead contains 12,600 pounds (5,700 kg) of low-cost GSX slurry (ammonium nitrate, aluminum powder and polystyrene)

The BLU-82 produces an overpressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch (psi) (7 MPa) near ground zero, tapering off as distance increases. It is detonated just above ground by a 38-inch (965 mm) fuze extender. This results in a maximum destruction at ground level without digging a crater.

I understand tactical nukes as being nukes of fairly low power such that they can be used in combat (probably at pretty large distances, maybe a few miles).

[gunDriller]

Attack: Israeli warplanes began bombing suspected chemical weapons sites in Syria on Thursday (pictured an F-15I tactical fighter jet taking at the Hatzerim Air Force in southern Israel in 2012)

Israel only has a problem with chemical weapons if someone else is using them.

Israel has even used White Phosphorus against defenseless civilians - back in December 2008/ January 2009.

the Chosen-ites have their own set of rules.

[Spectrism]

Yes- during the cold war days, we always had the threat of neutron weapons that would burst gamma rays over a fairly small area- typically a circle about a kilometer wide, as the quick kill zone. The detonation would be as much as a kilometer high and there were two components: blast & gamma ray. There was not as much blast as other nukes but the gamma rays would go through 2 feet of steel or CMU (block) and maybe 1 foot of reinforced concrete. The best block in a typical town would be concrete & earth. Deeper=better. Those who were just outside the immediate killzone would develop radiation sickness and die in days.

The EMP from the neutron bombs would wipe out unhardened or protected electronics in the killzone for sure, and variably as you got further away.

These were also planned for use in making craters. One of these bombs in the ground could make an unpassable hole or cause half a mountain to slide. Other delivery methods: rocket, artillery, airplane.

I think that is an F-15 actually. It looks similar from the side, but remember an f-16 does not house 2 airmen while the f-15 does.

Also if you look closely you can see another fin next to that one. F-15 has 2 fins.

If it's an F-16 it might be the F-16b which is a 2-seater.

At the end of the day this will end poorly for white nations. More taxes and more refugees that steel tax dollars and on and on and on. Increased violence, more demand for special rights until there are enough of "them" who ran away from their so called opression to reproduce it in a white country. And all the while the nation wreckers make money hand over fist with their crypto jew lackeys pushing this bullshit agenda of democracy when even this country wasn't founded on that.

While on the outside I tend to think that I have no skin in this "game", however I do and we all do. The DOW is at record highs and the wolves are skinning the last of the sheep.
