The newly elected President has a lot on his plate right now. However, one area he should not ignore is the lack of adequate radiological protection in our 2nd tier cities. We know that priority funding has already been directed at the prime targets of New York and Washington. But what about secondary targets - [...]
The average American has no absolutely no idea of how dangerously “on the brink” is the world right now. It seems in every direction, there are geopolitical pressures that seem at best ominous and at worst terrifying. Even if we ignore the global financial and economic meltdown that dominates our daily stress, one only needs [...]
Don’t you feel it? The Big Bang coming this year. Maybe it’s March, maybe August, and October is always a real problem month. There’s just this feeling that something is going to blow. I was talking to a friend of mine in the security business, port screening, airport screening etc. And he told me his [...]
Imagine you’re a terrorist. You see the American economy on the brink, rising unemployment, major industry imploding. Wouldn’t now be a great time to deliver a death blow to the your blood enemy, the bloated evil imperialist?
Imagine for a moment. What do you suppose would happen if there were simultaneous dirty bomb attacks on a [...]
