The writer wanted all of us to know that America has the technical capability to stop any terrorist in his tracks if he ever dares try to sneak nuclear weapons into this country. Let us now review the &quot;rest of the story&quot;. &quot;As you have probably heard from the major news networks, there is some concern about the so-called portable nuclear devices developed by the old USSR. Their former head of the KGB has confirmed the existence of 150 portable devices: 100 of which are presently unaccounted for ... none of these devices are missing; We know exactly where these devices are located at any given point in time. &quot;This is how we know: During the 1980&#039;s I worked as a Senior Systems Engineer for several DOD companies in San Diego (Advanced Digital Systems and SAIC). While in this position I was tasked with developing a &#039;Fleet Satellite Catastrophic Restoral Plan&#039; for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. My group was to develop a method for satellite intelligence restoral in the event of a space born nuclear strike by the Soviet Union. In the course of this study, we had to review all satellite capabilities and characteristics: both current and projected through the early ninety&#039;s. A series of satellites planned to begin deployment in 1989 ... They carry special sensor devices (Developed by SAIC) that can detect high-velocity spin-off particles from enriched uranium (necessary for nuclear devices). Due to the small size and velocity of these particles, no amount of shielding can block them: not lead, not earth (sub-terrainian). Radiation hazards from these particles are minimal due to limited quantity. Our satellites are fool-proof in detecting and pin-pointing the locations of enriched uranium throughout the world.&quot; (Ibid., Emphasis added) Did you realize our satellites had this capability? They can accurately sense the &quot;high-velocity spin-off particles from enriched uranium&quot;, even if the device is encased in lead or buried in the earth! This capability means that we know the exact location of every nuclear warhead in the world. We know where every single Russian warhead is, and we knew that Saddam Hussein did not have nuclear warheads! This news is simply staggering in its implications. The current news breaking all over the world is now telling us that the British MI6 and the American CIA were guilty of massive &quot;intelligence failures&quot; in their pre-war assessment of Saddam&#039;s Weapons of Mass Destruction. But, this revelation tells us that such &#039;intelligence failure&#039; is impossible, for we have the capability to pinpoint the exact location of every nuclear warhead on earth at any moment of time! &quot;Rogue States&quot; who are said to be developing their own nuclear capability would be giving up their nuclear devices quickly, for they would know that we know the location of each and every warhead. Destroying an enemy&#039;s capability depends largely on several factors: 1) Knowing the exact location of the target; 2) Having the weapons that can destroy the targets before the enemy can move them; 3) Possessing weapons accurate enough to destroy the target. Our satellite capability to sense even minute high-velocity particles emanating from even the smallest nuclear device gives us the most important factor of all: Knowing the exact location of the target. Since this information is so unbelievable, are there any other sources to which we can turn to gain verification?
