Well before the Vela Incident, American intelligence agencies had made the assessment that Israel probably possessed its own nuclear weapons.[16] In the 2008 book The Nuclear Express: A Political History of the Bomb and its ProliferationThomas C. Reed and Danny B. Stillman stated their opinion that the "double flash" was the result of a joint South African-Israeli nuclear bomb test.[17]David Albright stated in his article about the "double flash" event in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists that "If the 1979 flash was caused by a test, most experts agree it was probably an Israeli test".[18]

These three guys "Dr. Bernard J. Eastlund, President. Eastlund Scientific Enterprises, William C. Gough, FMBR Chairman of the Board, and Dr. George H. Miley, Professor. University of Illinois" have known each other for years and colaborated on projects with the DOE, DARPA, and various fusion energy projects. Dr. Eastlund is one of the patent holders (US Patent #4,686,605) that led to the development of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program HAARP, which became a project of the DOE, and today is run by Ratheon.
Interestingly they were all concerned with the environment and believed that fusion energy could be used to convert our pollutents to their original elements and came up with a new technology called the...
The new technology that we are suggesting to close the materials cycle is the use of the
ultra-high temperature plasmas developed by the fusion power research program. The
temperature of such ionized gas plasmas are hotter that the core of our sun. A technique
for achieving the objective of closing the materials cycle from use to reuse was
discovered in 1968 by Dr. Bernard Eastlund and William C. Gough, and was named the
Fusion Torch. (Eastlund & Gough, 1969; Miley, 1976) The fusion torch concept consists
of a chamber designed to contain an ultra-high temperature plasma (ionized gas). This
plasma can be produced by the use of injectors that accelerate particles to energies that
create a dilute plasma equivalent to many hundreds of millions of degrees.
Hmm, interesting experiment. These dudes are performing an experiment that just might relate to something we've been looking at for a long time. Pictures of toasted cars at the World Trade Center disaster, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Gaza, and now in Pakistan. These are largely explained away as car bombs, and suicide attacks, but I've never seen an explanation for the ones at the 911 scene. There were cars, trucks, and buses, some of them with melted motors that were blocks away from the WTC buildings.
Maybe someone should ask the Department of Energy what they think about all this.
And maybe we should also ask about whats going on in Pakistan.
The Bell Tower of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem
Christmas Bells
I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said; "For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1863
Found this on Christopher Bollyn's website this morning. It's about as close as I've come to having any of the old fashioned Christmas spirit this year. Not saying I didn't have a good time with the kids and grandkids, cause I did, but I think their joy of the holiday is what really counted.
Anyways, thanks to the old truth seeker, I feel better, and I'm ready for another New Year. Hope this New Year brings peace, harmony, and love to y'all in 2010...G:
