Is It Time to Get Real?

Have you ever dreamed of a really super adventure movie?

Well, here's some material that some creative person out there might enjoy. The material from NASA is for real; I can't vouch for Osama's dream of an "American Hiroshima," but even if it isn't true, if Osama's dream were combined with the NASA information, it would make one hell of a movie!

Here's the scoop:

First, the real part. There are concerns being floated about that NASA is trying to figure out a way to keep an asteroid that's headed our way from slamming into the earth. The asteroid will have a relatively near fly-by in 2029, and seven years later, in 2036, there is apparently a real risk that because of a gravitational "sweet spot," it will impact the earth.

Using today's technology, if we act by 2013, we could nudge the asteroid
about a half mile off its present course, thereby averting certain disaster.
If we wait any longer, it would take a "nudge" equal to the distance of the
diameter of the earth to effect a change in the asteroid's course sufficient to be sure it would miss the earth. Unfortunately, there is no technology on the horizon that could accomplish that task.

Guess which countries have the ability to carry out a rescue mission by
2013?

Uh-huh, that's right--one. The U.S. Maybe Russia could help. That would be nice.

But there may be some sand in the gears of the rescue plan, and that's where the speculative part about Osama comes in.

Paul Williams, author of "Osama's Revenge," contends rather convincingly that
Osama's mention of an "American Hiroshima" is a reference to a planned
nuclear attack on several cities in the U.S., using tactical weapons already
in place and currently being warehoused in mosques. Williams believes that Mexico was the "port of entry," so-to-speak, for the weapons. Economist David Hawkins
(www.davidhawkinsresearch.com), on the other hand, believes there is evidence to suggest that weapons were transported into the U.S. via Canada.

There's no particular reason, I suppose, that given the lack of interest
shown by our government in border security that both borders couldn't be
used for such a purpose.

Anyway, Osama has said that he wants four million Americans to die, and that
at least two million of these must be children. In Osama's mind, this would
achieve some sort of "parity." According to Williams, neither biological nor
chemical weapons could do the trick; only multiple nuclear weapons
could achieve Osama's dream.

OK, let's say for the sake of discussion that Osama's desire for "parity"
actually succeeds. Williams thinks that it will be sooner rather than later,
possibly even as early as October of this year. The cities that are the
primary targets are those with the largest Jewish populations--New York,
Miami, etc.--but not restricted to them. Other large cities, as well as small
towns, are also targets.

The U.S. wouldn't be destroyed by such an attack, of course, but it would
take a hell of a lot longer to recover from something like that than it did to recover from the attack on the Twin Towers.

The possibility that something like this might be in the works is Tom Tancredo's
reason for wanting to keep open all options, including the option of destroying Mecca, Medina, etc. It would be certifiably insane to turn the other cheek should something like this happen.

But I digress. Now, let's see; Osama nukes a number of U.S. cities--rumor has
it at between twenty and forty are targeted--sometime BEFORE 2013. Would we
be able to recover sufficiently in time to alter the course of that asteroid? Maybe so,if the proposed attack occurs no later than the October '05 date, which would give us about seven or eight years to get back on our feet. Maybe not, if it
comes after 2013.

See what I mean about a great movie?
