Looking for nonsense and half-truths in the Awake continues to offer all the challenge
of shooting fish in a barrel. The latest scare-mongering is entitled "The Nuclear Threat
How Real is It?".
Let us first consider that this article is naked proof that Watchtower writers deliberately
and consciously attempt to deceive the public RELATIVE TO THEIR OWN STATED
BELIEFS!! The 1983 12/22 Awake clearly ruled out a nuclear Armageddon in a thorough
step by step analysis. Why would the Watchtower Society suggest a future they
'know' to be untrue? Because they secretly know that their own beliefs are speculative
nonsense? Because they don't care about lying anyway? Judge for yourself.
While tensions with Russia are portrayed as hair-trigger, the facts speak differently.
THIS PAST WEEK, Vladimir Putin was publically embarassed by missile failures
that openly occurred in War game demonstrations. Russia increasingly depends
on manned bombers to maintain itself - because so much of its hardware won't work.
( and bombers are safer). While Russian military satellites are deteriorating, they
continue to sell their best rocket launchings to Western nations that pay good money
for communications orbitings.
The Awake editors apparently see no significance that thousands of nuclear weapons
'put on the shelf', in storage is huge progress - since such are unlikely to be an immediate
threat - and will deteriorate in time, requiring their deconstruction.
And terrorists? They said to have a good chance of creating a nuclear detonation
simply by taking fissile material and "dropping one half of it onto the other half."
(pg. 7) The experts at the Awake should inform all those third world nations that they
don't need to smuggle kryotrons or other precise triggers for their bombs. It's just so
simple!
And dirty bombs? They're a threat, true, but let's not forget that Japan survived
two atomic blasts and ended up as one the earth's most prosperous nations anyway.
Actually, there is evidence that small amounts of radiation may benefit health
- it's called "radiation hormesis".
"Nuclear war, can it be avoided?" Well, has it been avoided for more than fifty years?
I guess that means it can, huh?
"Can we simply accept the promises of humans?" (pg. 9)
After 120 years of false prophesy (Armageddon is Soon!), I'd ask:
"Do those promises come from humans employed by the Watchtower Society?"
