It’s all over the net now, an “unexplained, possibly accidental” launch of a missile off California. I read “accidental missile launch”, googled that term and got time after time after time that missiles have been fired without any advance planning. Most of the types that can’t be just launched by one person, right? Like, the missile off California had NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES.
Here’s a quick Humorous take on the problem from 3 years ago, a Canuckistan writer with the nom-de-paix “Sanity Defense”.
“Vice President Dick (“DUCK!”) Cheney (already famous for hunting while drunk and somehow not able to tell the difference between a 3 pound bird and a two hundred pound corrupt South Texas lawyer-Jonah) apologized to America’s northern ally today for the unintentional deployment of a nuclear missile against Montreal. “It was entirely accidental,” Cheney assured nervous Canadian survivors as they huddled in fallout shelters. “I really didn’t know Montreal was there when I picked the coordinates and pushed the button.” After this second instance of an embarrassing accidental discharge of a weapon, President Bush assured international diplomats that he was going to work with Cheney “to get that trigger finger under control. Don’t you worry.”
Canadian leaders, many of whom were vaporized while attending a summit meeting in Montreal, were unavailable for comment”
It’s not the first time. There’ve been reports of the Russians and Chinese Armies accidentally launching. Israel during an air strike on Gaza (which is definitely “bring a machine gun to a knife fight) had blown a family to smithereens with an “OOPSIE, we were aiming at a similar unarmed person and missed” shot. The U.S. had shot down a plane, claiming to have accidentally launched, but there were bullet holes in the door…
Somebody needs to (a) either trash the God-damn things, which unfortunately ain’t likely, or (b) break the fingers of the people in charge of launching them, and continue breaking them until they’ve learned to keep their nasty little grubby Bloodstained Hands off the Goddamn Buttons.
Which, also, ain’t very likely.
Meanwhile, bank at the ranch, American “conservatives” are eager to restrict access to education while and at the same time, simultaneously in a redundant yet synchronous type of manner… increasing the number of these very dangerous high tech toys.
More real bad toys, less people capable of working them correctly.
Also, it’s a product that, when Used Correctly, is intended to cause death and serious injuries and massive property damage.
Which brings up another part of the War Monger Baby-Killer Agenda, Crusades_2.0.exe (.bin for Mac and Linux users) wherein the same idiots who launch missiles accidentally in a “Holy” war against what is now limited to a fraction of the Muslim people, want to expand that war to whoever among the BILLION people whose faith is Islam and who don’t renounce that faith for a truly hate-filled interpretation of Christianity. Bow to our Unholy Pope or we kill you and your families!
Not much actually new about that, aside from the scope of the weapons in combination with the ignorance of those wielding them.
Did I say “the same ones who are accidentally firing missiles”? OOPS. I forgot to add all the Bozo Juniors who are being trained by the Bozo Seniors in how to misuse massive amounts of firepower.
What of suspicions that the BP Macondo Well blowout was an act of ECO TERRORISM? What curious timing that Iceland is dealt full weight of world banking crime and retaliates with a natural resources blowout! Well, where Eyjafjallajokull blew its top could be coincidental, but these calamities of escalating proportion may not be Acts of God. Perhaps this is veritable wanton destruction wrought by an environmental zealot speaking with the gravity of an enraged planet. Doom and gloomers can foretell of oceans polluted beyond recognition and skies rendered opaque and impassible; I’m with BP defender who say this
