Hi all
I was going through some old notes of mine & found that a few years back I had noted information of a book by Howard Bloom called Global Brain. http://howardbloom.net
Upon checking out more about his book on his website I was surprised to find that he had also written something about Osama bin Laden & 9/11.
Now while I can accept his thesis of his book Global Brain (which is basically that we were webbed & netted 3.5 billion yrs ago. Global Brain says that a world-wide web has been with us since the first moments of life, and that global connectivity isn't a product of our technology, it's built into our biology. It's in our cells, our bodies, and our brains.) I think he needs an email or three regarding his Osama article. Please take time to read & let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Dodging the Nuclear 9/11
Osama bin Laden may soon have his hands on three Agosta 90B next-generation stealth submarines capable of carrying sixteen sea-to-land cruise missiles each. Those missiles can deliver atomic warheads. And Osama, I suspect, will have access to the forty nuclear warheads constructed by Pakistan.
Washington and New York, two primary targets for Al Qaeda, are near bodies of water from which these nuclear-tipped missiles can be launched. So are many other major American cities.
Here are the skeletal details:
In 1994, DCN, the government-owned company that builds France's naval vessels, agreed to help the Pakistanis build and learn to operate a rather amazing shipyard. It was a next-generation facility building next-tech, Agosta 90B stealth submarines. As of today two of these subs have been built and a third is scheduled for launch by 2006.
Each Agosta 90B is able to carry sixteen Harpoon Stand-Off Land Attack cruise missiles. According to the Pakistani Navy Captain Iftikhar Riaz Qureshi, who commanded both of these subs in their test phases, Pakistan purchased its Agosta 90Bs to provide itself with "second strike nuclear capability." Qureshi's words imply that from day one, Pakistan's intention has been to tip these missiles with atomic warheads. And guess what? Since Pakistan tested its first nuclear bomb in 1998, every nuclear device it's made has been a missile warhead.
According to Defence Journal, Pakistan's subs have a range of close to twelve thousand miles…they can travel to the Hudson River or the Chesapeake Bay, unleash their missiles on New York and Washington, then still be able to take refuge in mid-ocean, lay low and threaten other world capitals with a similar fate.

About the author, Howard Bloom
Howard Bloom, a visiting scholar at the Graduate Psychology Department at New York University, is the author of two books: The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History ("mesmerizing"-The Washington Post) and Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind From The Big Bang to the 21st Century ("reassuring and sobering"-The New Yorker). Bloom's writings have appeared in The Washington Post, Wired, Knight-Ridder's Financial News Service, The Village Voice, Cosmopolitan, Omni Magazine, New Ideas in Psychology, The Independent Scholar, Across Species Comparisons and Psychopathology, and in two book series: Research in Biopolitics and the Disinformation Company's series of three books: You Are Being Lied To, Everything You Know is Wrong, and Abuse Your Illusions.
In the 1980s Bloom tried to interest the press in doing a story about an urgent problem, black on black genocide in Africa. He had media clout and media influence, but he failed. The tribes he was alerting journalists to were the Hutus and the Tutsis.
If the magazine publishers and TV producers Bloom spent time with had covered the Hutu-Tutsi conflict, they could have saved a million lives.
In the 1990s and the year 2000, Bloom tried to warn the press and America, through his books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, and through his radio and television interviews that militant Islam posed an imminent danger. No one in power listened.
If they had, we could have prevented 9/11.
This time the cataclysm Bloom is warning about is nuclear. And this time if no one listens, we may all have to kiss our lives good bye. _________________ There's nothing wrong to adding to a conspiracy theory when there might be a conspiracy, in fact. |

Hi Steve. Well its an unknown information source as far as I'm concerned, I'll make some time to look into it, I initialy have some questions about the feasability of operating two nuclear submarines from land locked afghanistan, but ultimately this will rest on its sources
Cool though
