The Disturbing Reason For The Navys Trident Missile TestBy Joshua Krause Typically these tests are a quiet affair, and for a very good reason. They dont want foreign ships to observe these launches, lest they discover some of the capabilities of the missile. So why run the test at a time of day when the conditions were absolutely perfect for millions of people to witness it? The sun was at the perfect angle to reflect light off of the missiles exhaust, which made a brilliant display for witnesses on the West Coast. If the launch had occurred a little earlier or a little later, very few people would have even seen it. And why bother doing it off the coast of one of largest cities in the world, when you have the entire Pacific Ocean at your disposal? Truth be told, the Navy has tested this missile over a 150 times before with little fanfare. In fact, they did another test early Monday afternoon and nobody noticed. So what gives? For now the Navy is playing dumb, and have claimed that they had no idea the test would create such a spectacular view. However, the spectacle seems awfully convenient given the current tensions between the US, Russia, and China. Its also pretty convenient, given what Defense Secretary Ash Carter told the media a day before the launch. In the face of Russias provocations and Chinas rise, Carter said, we must embrace innovative approaches to protect the United States and strengthen that international order. Russia is violating sovereignty in Ukraine and Georgia and is trying to intimidate the Baltic states, and in Syria it is prolonging a civil war, the secretary added. At sea, in the air, in space and in cyberspace, Russian actors have engaged in challenging activities, he told the audience, noting that Moscows nuclear saber-rattling raises questions about Russian leaders commitment to strategic stability. We do not seek to make Russia an enemy,Carter said. But make no mistake. The United States will defend our interests, and our allies, the principled international order, and the positive future it affords us all. Its beginning to look like our government just wanted to flex its military might in front of the entire world. And when you think about it, this was the perfect way to do that without compromising the capabilities of the missile. If they had announced the launch ahead of time, it would have given Russian and Chinese submarines the opportunity to observe the launch up close, and learn a few of its secrets. But this way they could keep the launch under wraps until the last minute, while still making a massive spectacle that would explode all over social media. Theres a very good reason why this show of force involved a Trident missile as opposed to other nuclear or conventional deterrents. This system is probably the single biggest military threat to Russia and China, because it gives our military a stealthy, mobile launch pad for missiles that can strike at incredibly long distances, and at very high speed. To give you an idea of what the Navy just showed off, each nuclear armed submarine can carry 24 Trident II missiles, and each missile can carry multiple nuclear warheads. Each warhead can have a yield of up to 475 kilotons, and is capable of acquiring independent targets. It has a range of 4000 nautical miles, and can reach a speed of over 18,000 miles per hour. In other words, a few submarines placed between Hawaii and California could put an end to China in about 15 minutes. Essentially, the military just issued a not-so-friendly reminder to China and Russia: They are still the toughest kid on the block, and they are still fully capable of turning their enemies into radioactive dust at a moments notice. Its also the same sort of irresponsible and bellicose show of force that every dying empire gives in its final days. Its a sign that our government can no longer dominate the planet by conventional means. If they could, this nuclear display would be unnecessary. Lets just hope that the belligerent and increasingly desperate power players in Washington never make good on their threat. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

The US government is already responsible for covering the planet in radioactive dust not even counting all the global industrial accidents (known and unknown) that have taken place since the formation of the first atomic pile. All the members of the UN (United Nazis) Security Council are gun runners for the central bank. These exercises are a form of entertainment between the so called big powers as they are all in on the Agenda 21/30 protocols; its more fear mongering for sure. The downside is money wasted and more damaging chemicals for the ozone layer. As far as secrets of weaponry are concerned thats pretty much a joke when you consider that the powers of the eastern governments are far ahead of the US when comes to Remote Viewing and the use of psychics with highly advanced clairvoyance. Every continent and virtually every nation state is participating in the poisoning that is Geoengineering, including Asia and Russia. TPTB love to see writers go on about old missile systems rather than the UN and Bankster ongoing poisoning and enslavement agendas. can they send the next one to DC? ROFLMAO! That would solve a lot of problems. The N Koreans promised to nuke DC. Where are they when we need them???!?!?! Exactly! The Feral Gov is sooo interested in protecting their International Order but cant secure the southern border of the USSA? These ProgreSSives, of both ruling parties of the USSA, have outsourced the industrial capacity of the country and its wealth through International Trade bolstering China and other foreign countries at the expense of their own citizen sheeples. You talk much but say little other than typical right wing bluster and blubber. If the US falls, it will be from within and generated by the fundamentalist, racist, warmongering cults that are feeding the military industrial intelligence complex. Your name calling and efforts at diminution of the president and presidency as well as attacks on people who (thank god) do not look like you have run their course. Soon the generation that has brought North America down will be dying off. New generations are already making hatred and racism no longer a part of the American way of life. The true power of democracy will be seen in the voting revolution of 2016. The radical right wing has finally jumped the shark. Americans are rejecting the capture of conservatism by the American Taliban of fundamentalists and warmongers who live to serve none but the MIC and chaos. Comrade David you are back from the Univ.of Missouri so soon? Great job there! Obamy and Valerie are sooo proud. I see the very opposite of what you are saying is happening by the results all over America by the people who are being elected to public office. The concervative politicans are winning and the liberals are being beaten because christians are standing up and fighting back against these wicked perverted liberals who want the government to support their sick subversive agendas and the moraless part of our citizens who want to subvert our laws and customs are being exposed for their sick evil life styles that they are trying to force on the moral majority so wait and see who is going to take control again not the liberals and perverted trash you advocate Rev. I thought Jesus told us to love each other and not judge others?? Yet your posts are all filled with hate, bigotry and judgmentalness. You are not following your own religion with such posts. No, Jesus said Judge not lest ye be judged. which means to judge others fairly and as you would have them judge you. It would be utterly stupid for God to tell people never to judge, unless He were here to enforce laws, which He is not (right now). He gave us the knowledge and tools with which to judge when judgement is required, and He command us to do it fairly and according to His word. he NEVER said not to judge. Sorry, Paul, the interpretation of bible stories and quotations are pretty subjective. Emmett may well think that the line attributed to Jesus is just as likely to have been intended to prohibit the haughty spirit that leads humans to assume the authority to judge just as bibles God or Jesus are authorized to judge. @EGrogan:disqus I thought You were partially right. Jesus told us to love one another as we love ourselves. But, He didnt tell or teach us not to judge others (or their sins). He told us to judge righteously not to be hypocrites. Many people cherry-pick a piece of a passage, and claim, with authoritarian voice, Judge not lest ye be judged! and, they have no idea what the rest of the passage says. Following that, Jesus said (Im paraphrasing), Remove the sin that blocks your own vision, so that you may see the mote in your brothers eye better, so you can remove it with him. A lot of people point at the woman who was about to be stoned, and say that teaches not to judge. Theyre wrong. That passage teaches us not to *condemn*! The last verse says, Neither do I condemn you. Go forth, and sin no more. Break that down He doesnt condemn *her*, but then tells her to go on with her life, and to stop sinning. If He didnt judge, he wouldnt have mentioned that she had been sinning, nor would He have told her not to do it, anymore. Judging sin is not being hateful nor bigoted. However, celebrating someones sin is harmful to both their souls, and your own. Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, I repent, you must forgive him. meaning, if you cause someone to sin (or to continue to sin), and dont try to correct them (by JUDGING!), you are responsible for his damnation. I love the comparisons of all of the lay theologists comparisons of what their God meant by what the bible stories words actually meant. It is good to see the diversity of opinions. I am pretty sure that none of the righteous folks posting here support killing all the gay people as endorsed by the fundamentalist nut case and endorsed by several of the Republican candidates. Well, Im sort of sure or, at least I hope so. Im sure that some are lay theologists but, its an assumption to claim all are. I dont endorse killing *anybody* because of their sin unless their sin is to attack me or mine, or to attack innocents. Were responsible for the lives of those entrusted to us. So, if a gay person were the one threatening the lives of my family, or of an innocent yeah, Id support his being neutralized, whether that just means disarmed and restrained or if it meant has been caused to stop breathing and to attain room temperature. Excuse me, but the generation you speak of, the Baby Boomers, were right on the front lines of the civil rights movement, some even lost their lives. Our generation is still fighting racism and bigotry on many fronts why dont you know this? Well Emmett, It s because David is a scumbag liberal troll. Loud mouth low intelligence. Wouldnt even need a warhead. I doubt this scared either Russia or China because they know that ObamaTheTurd is still in charge. He was born in CANADA. He is not eligible to be president. My son was born in Germany and could run for President. The Constitution requires an individual to be an natural born American citizen, not an American citizen born in America. Ted Cruz is an American citizen born in Canada and is eligible to be President. Just like John McCain was eligible even though he was born in Panama. Ted is a total butt clown. The new Joe McCarthy for zealot fools. Hes an H1B pimp on Goldman Sachs payroll. His wife worked for Goldman Sachs. Ignorance becomes you. The Senator from the Great Country of India aka H1B Pimp. Cruz is as American as you and not one Presidential candidate is against H1B visas. close but you forgot trump he is what the majority wants even though cruz would be okay and together they would be wonderfull 40 year old ballistic missile.The Russians and Chinese already know its so-called secrets and they can shoot it and its warheads out of the sky. Remember Jonnie Pollard? Remember all the nuclear and missile secrets sold to China by Clinton. The Daily Sheeple is a disinfo rag that pushes war with Russia and China for their masters in the NWO. I bet the Russians and Chinese are shakin in their bootsNOT! Wasnt it the Clinton administration that gave Iran technology to go nuclear? The Rockefellers et al gave the Soviets advanced military technology for decades. Brzezinski created China as the NWO model technocracy. Doesnt make sense an old missile is being used to flex some muscles. YOU have NO idea what you are talking about dufus. Why are you talking about yourself Cabo? Thats right you are the King FUFY Dufus Extraordinaire A spectacular military analyse of a Fifth grader. These recent Trident tests were for sideshow entertained the naive public. Russia and China are possessing the same capacities. The Power That Be wont dare to risk any nuclear exchanges against either China and/or Russia, they have too much to lose considering all the stolen zillions accumulated. Any nuclear exchanges between the 3 Super Power will turn the whole Earth into HomoSapients tomb I always laugh at the get rid of nukes we pull to try and get the rest of the world to disarm. We pull a few old outdated WMD and tell the world see how wonderful and peaceful we are! Nukes are the reason we are finding the peace we now have. The mutually assured destruction has worked well. But allowing the fanatics of the world nukes will not work. It is time to upgrade our systems. NOT down grade them. Just the way it is. Just standard saber rattling 4 Chinks North Koreans also to showboat Actually I think there is so much radiation in the ecosystem now that we are all dead but have not laid down yet. Keep taking your iodine! Its good to see another at least aware of the current situation in regard to how radiactive the planet has become and its only getting worse by the day. Just because the outcome was not immediate so few cared to even look at the elephant in the room.The earth is no longer able to support human life. People like to think judgement day is coming. It has already passed and humanity has failed in all the worst ways. Whacko I was not trying to get anyone to start giving examples of what Im talking about but I should have known some would not be able to help there selves. Cabo, Cabo, Cabo. Radical right wing ignorant buffoon: Give up your trolling here and get back to your simplistic hateful and destructive websites that daily reduce the sum total of human understanding. So there is no life on Earth anymore?? I bet you ate something grown out of the ground yesterday,along with billions of other people.How long have you been in this coma??? Wow and you dare ask another if theyre in a coma? You obviously do not understand the part about how the effects of all this radiation are not immediate. Perhaps it is time for you to wake from your coma and begin to educate yourself on how the food supply has been intentionaly contaminated in many ways not the least of which has been genetic modification. Thank you for supporting my views. So much radioactivity in naturally occurring amounts. Would you like to actually contribute to the conversation? Do you think that somehow making an obvious statement negates the obvious? You forget that Fukushima has been leaking tons of radiation into the ocean since 2011; then theres San Onofre which is leaking radiation, along with numerous other nuclear plants. The Japanese themselves have said that over 1 million children will die due to the radiation from Fukushima. Why do you have such a problem believing our planet is full of man-made radiation? No, Im not forgetting that Fukushima has leaked tons of radioactive material into the ocean. San Onofre isnt leaking, it has no fuel. Its all about denial. The one thing that the human race as a whole is desperately lacking and in dire need of is responsibility. Taking the easy way out has become the name of the game. Most now exist within their own bubble of blissfull ignorance while the real world around them burns. When they encounter something that could compromise their ignorance or possibly bring about real consequences they try to cower in their bubble and deny everything they feel is inconvenient. This is why there is the saying to never argue with a fool for they will only bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience. Hence the reason why, sadly, it doesnt matter if theres too much radiation now, or if were still approaching the tipping point, so really the level of current radiation isnt even the issue. The issue is, we refuse to fix it, or even acknowledge theres a problem. Cant fix a problem that you pretend doesnt exist, and its easy to deny it when you cant feel or see it. The Japanese themselves have said that over 1 million children will die .. I always get a kick out of what might conceivably possibly remotely be called a sweeping generalization. It makes arguments so funny to read. Perhaps narrowing that down a tad from the Japanese might make your argument a little more serious. There are 130 million Japanese. I live here. I havent heard them ALL say that. Not at the grocery store, not my neighbors and friends. Who said what, and when and where and in what context are appropriate instead of this giggledy statement. Not saying somebody didnt say that, but thats how a kid argues. // Bad grammar kills. Andross like so many others gets to vote. Scary! But it does explain some of the politicians we have and how they stay in power. They have captured the Nut Vote. Pretty much along the lines of what I said. Only a complete failure would believe elections are not rigged and that your vote will count. Sounds like youd feel a lot safer if people you disagree with or believe to be crazy couldnt vote. I think various people thought the same thing throughout history: Josef Stalin, Chairman Mao, etc. I dont think id say Russia has been sabre rattling exactly. During the US commenced coup in the Ukraine and the support of neo nazis attacking eastern regions, Mr Putin had to remind the US/nato aggressors that they were a nuclear power still. This was to warn them not to do anything too silly on Russias doorstep. The press have been slandering Mr Putin whom i may add has acted with remarkable restraint considering the wests war mongering stance. Moreover, i would not be surprised if Russia could obliterate europe and the USA at a moments notice whilst China would probably obliterate themselves by accident! No Bull Nonofit is full of bull! Its all factual phdk Except for chinese quality weapons that is. So the Trident has stop hover start again technology? Hmmm Really? OOPS, wrong button!!!!! Ummmm. Not sure why people would find this launch disturbing. Yea Im glad that they are showing some muscles at LAST!!! Those who put their head in the sand and actually think that all the treaties and holding hands singing cumbiya is going to work are retarded! A dying empire you say. Isnt this reminiscent of the show of force used by Teddy Roosevelt when he sent the White Fleet around the world over a hundred years ago? At the time we were an emerging power on the world stage. Our present Commander in Chief has done everything he can to make us look weak so Im glad to see a show of strength especially when Russia and China are actively rattling their sabars. Nothing about these tests, isnt NORMAL . . . the Pt. Maggo Missile Test Range, is where the Majority of such tests are conducted. Its been going on, since the 1950s . . . I swear I saw Slim Pickins riding it going yeehaw yeehaw toe to toe with the Rooskies. Ok, Ive completely befuddled our younger readers. Much of the comments I read below prompts me to write the following knowing that it will not persuade liberals to look more carefully at what is happening to our world. but it should. Perhaps you havent been on it long enough. In case you havent noticed, our way of life is de-materializing. Crime is rampart, One scandal after another pops up. Why? There are many reasons, but the loss of morality is one reason. If you examine the history of society you will notice that no country, kingdom or Government has lasted more than 300 years. Invariably as morals deteriorate so does the society. You can lambaste the Right all you want but they are the only ones keeping our society together and when they have become a small minority you can watch America turn into a socialistic countryor worse. Another of OBozos Red line for Russia and China??,hahahahaha,..this buffoon doesnt even scare the crows!!,.. Well. You sure put me in my place. Im going to go sit in my chair. In the corner. For a hour. Right now. I feel more like I do now than I did before. A lot. Just consider using specifics when making a point is all I was suggesting. Thats all. And that was relevant to the forum topic and participation.
