PART I
The Mechanics of Nuclear Explosions
n nuclear explosions, about 90 percent of the energy is released in less than one millionth of a second. Most of this is in the form of the heat and shock waves which produce the damage. It is this immediate and direct explosive power which could devastate the urban centers in a major nuclear war. Compared with the immediate colossal destruction suffered in target areas, the more subtle, longer term effects of the remaining 10 percent of the energy released by nuclear weapons might seem a matter of secondary concern. But the dimensions of the initial catastrophe should not overshadow the after-effects of a nuclear war. They would be global, affecting nations remote from the fighting for many years after the holocaust, because of the way nuclear explosions behave in the atmosphere and the radioactive products released by nuclear bursts.
When a weapon is detonated at the surface of the earth or at low altitudes, the heat pulse vaporizes the bomb material, target, nearby structures, and underlying soil and rock, all of which become entrained in an expanding, fast-rising fireball. As the fireball rises, it expands and cools, producing the distinctive mushroom cloud, signature of nuclear explosions.
The altitude reached by the cloud depends on the force of the explosion. When yields are in the low-kiloton range, the cloud will remain in the lower atmosphere and its effects will be entirely local. But as yields exceed 30 kilotons, part of the cloud will punch into the stratosphere, which begins about 7 miles up. With yields of 2-5 megatons or more, virtually all of the cloud of radioactive debris and fine dust will climb into the stratosphere. The heavier materials reaching the lower edge of the stratosphere will soon settle out, as did the Castle/Bravo fallout at Rongelap. But the lighter particles will penetrate high into the stratosphere, to altitudes of 12 miles and more, and remain there for months and even years. Stratospheric circulation and diffusion will spread this material around the world.

A U.S. military helicopter passes by the Statue of Liberty while patrolling near Ground Zero in New York on Monday. Terrorist risk level
raised to highAction taken after U.S. learns
of threats against embassiesBREAKING NEWS
MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTSSept. 10 Citing newly uncovered threats against U.S. targets abroad, the Bush administration on Tuesday planned for the first time to elevate its color-coded terrorist threat-assessment system to designate the anniversary of attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon as a time of high risk of terrorist attack, NBC News has learned. One official said that the move was being taken out of an abundance of caution. Shop at B&N.com Auctions at uBid Yellow Pages Personals Channel

THE DECISION to raise the threat assessment level from yellow indicating a serious threat of terrorist attack to orange came after U.S. intelligence learned of specific and credible threats against U.S. embassies, said officials who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity.
Under the higher threat designation, authorities are instructed to take additional precautions at public events, to prepare to work at alternate sites or with a dispersed workforce and to consider restricting access to workplace to essential personnel only.
Homeland Security director Tom Ridge was due to announce the change in the threat assessment at a news conference at 1 p.m. ET, the officials said.
Earlier, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said at a White House briefing that Our concerns are increasing, citing undisclosed intelligence as well as general apprehension about the the anniversary of Sept. 11s terrorist attacks.
His remarks came as authorities ratcheted up security at public gathering spots around the nation and potential targets around the globe. Even more extraordinary measures were being contemplated: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was expected to approve the positioning within hours of surface-to-air missiles around the nations capital, Pentagon officials told NBC News.
Both the FBI and the White House say they have no specific information that terrorists intend to mark the day with renewed violence, but Fleischer made it clear that the Bush administration is not viewing the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon as just another day.
Fleischer said that the sense of growing concern among U.S. officials was based on information, but did not provide any specifics on the nature of the intelligence or say when or how it was obtained. He also indicated that the concern also was based in part on the general threat posed by the anniversary.
MORE CAUTIONARY TONE
The tone of Fleischers comments at a briefing for White House reporters was more cautionary than on Monday. During that briefing, he responded to reports that U.S. counterterrorism officials have seen a mild increase in the chatter electronic communications among suspected terrorists and their supporters in the run-up to Wednesdays anniversary by saying that intelligence experts dont believe it is significant or a sign of a major impending attack.
I cant characterize the chatter level as anything out of the ordinary at this time, he said.Remembering 9/11 Presidential adviser Karen Hughes chats about being at the White House on Sept. 11th: 3:30 p.m. ET today
Other warnings Tuesday from U.S. officials were more blunt.
Four U.S. embassies announced they would close for the anniversary two in response to what they described as specific, credible threats of terrorist attack. The U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, Ralph Boyce, attributed the closure of the embassy in Jakarta to a threat from al-Qaida, the terrorist network that U.S. officials say carried out last years attacks.

The U.S. Navy also issued an unprecedented warning Tuesday that al-Qaida might be planning attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East Gulf, citing unconfirmed reports circulating within the regional shipping community.Sept. 9 When President Bush addresses the U.N. on Thursday morning, officials say he will lay out the case against Saddam Hussein. How strong is that case? NBCs Andrea Mitchell reports.
The State Department issued a worldwide caution Monday night urging Americans to remain especially vigilant this week.
FBI ISSUES ALERT
The FBI warned police, utilities, banks and the transportation industry to be wary.
A large volume of threats of undetermined reliability continues to be received and investigated by the FBI, the bulletin said. Several of these threats make reference to the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and to New York City and Washington, D.C.
Military jets were patrolling the skies over New York and Washington around the clock and Defense Department strategists recommended to Rumsfeld that he order deployment of 300 troops with Avenger ground-based air defense batteries and shoulder-fired stinger anti-aircraft missile systems for several days to protect several key sites in the capital from air attack, according to the Pentagon officials, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity.

Rumsfeld was expected to formalize the decision on Tuesday, they said.
Bush will mark Wednesdays anniversary of the attacks with a speech to the nation, followed by an address Thursday to the U.N. General Assembly.
Sources told NBC News that the president and Vice President Dick Cheney would remain apart for the next few days, with Cheney spending part of the period at an undisclosed secure location.
Evidence of how seriously the government and private security forces are taking the anniversary has been accumulating in recent days:
Pentagon officials declined to say whether the resumption of air patrols was because of a specific threat or because of the one-year anniversary of the attacks.9/11 Timeline
The alert was issued Wednesday after U.S. intelligence officials obtained a copy of the videotape, the Washington Times reported, quoting sources that it did not name.
The paper said that a man it described as being of Middle Eastern origin videotaped the buildings and also paced off several distances around the monument.
A similar videotape detailing features of the Port of Los Angeles was recovered in June.Future of the site Remembering the darkest day Touched by terror Ground Zero: One year later Rebuilding the Pentagon Help and resources In memoriam Images of 9/11 NBC, MSNBC TV Banfield on location
Officials have said the tapes may be surveillance of potential targets for a terrorist attack, though they know of no specific threats against the subjects of the videotapes found so far.
Prosecutors alleged Monday that explosives residue had been detected on the luggage of an Islamic religious leader arrested Sunday at the Portland, Ore., airport as he was preparing to board a flight. Sheik Mohamed Abdirahman Kariye, 40, was charged with falsely obtaining official documents, but a Justice Department source told NBC News he was under investigation for possible terrorist connections.
A GLOBAL PHENOMENON
The signs of nervousness are not confined to the United States.
British police advised major companies in London, Europes biggest financial center, to tighten security ahead of the anniversary in case of copycat attacks.
Britain is considered a potential target because of the governments support of Washingtons war on terror and because British cities are seen by some as havens for radical Islam.
Officials in other European countries either declined to discuss preparations or said that no additional security was planned.
In Afghanistan, the Turkish-led International Security Assistance Force said it had increased security measures after Thursdays bid to kill President Hamid Karzai in Kandahar and a car bomb that killed 16 people in the Afghan capital the same day.
Officials in neighboring Pakistan said Gen. Pervez Musharrafs pro-Western government had beefed up security at what it had identified as potential targets. -

by ness21 ini was brought up in "the truth", i have the odd bible study now and again, funny enough the last time was a week after 9/11, as im still subconsciously in fear of armageddon, but i haven fundamental problems with some of their teaching, hence my joy at finding this site.

The way I understand these scripures is we are ALL coming back and given a second chance.
REV:204] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. -

Kids, Microchips and Democracy.
by Englishman in.
it seems many parents in the uk are looking into the possibilty of having their children "chipped" with a hidden implant so's they can be traced should they be abducted.
this follows in the wake of the horrific double murder of holly and jessica, the 2 cambridgeshire girls who were brutally killed a few weeks ago.. the saudi ambassador to great britain, ghazi algosaibi, said: "if you had a democracy in britain, you would have the death penalty tomorrow, especially after the death of those two girls".. maybe he has a point.. englishman.
