Ronald Reagan and "Dr. Strangelove"
|
(Conspiracy Nation, 01/08/07)
-- Ronald Reagan (image left, shaking hands with Dr. Edward
"Strangelove" Teller) "adroitly filled the role of mythic American
Everyman endowed with homespun virtues." But beneath the surface,
"prodded by the Republican right, by military hardliners such as
limited-nuclear-war advocate Edward Teller and by deputy national
security adviser Robert McFarlane, Reagan wholeheartedly embraced the
Star Wars concept." (From review of book, Way Out There In the Blue: Reagan,
Star Wars and the End of the Cold War, at amazon.com)
Previously, Conspiracy
Nation
reported on divergent physics, "Star Wars," and "pure fusion" bombs. (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/RedMercury.html)

Crucial to the development of "pure fusion" bombs was Dr. Edward
Teller. Known colloquially as "the father of the hydrogen bomb," Teller
"is considered one of the key influences on the character Dr.
Strangelove in the 1964 movie of the same name." ("Edward Teller",
Wikipedia reference, Jan. 7, 2007) In light of breaking news that
Israel has drawn up secret plans to use low-yield nuclear weapons to
knock out Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, it is worthwhile to
recall how we got to this point. ("Israel 'has plan for nuclear strike
on Iran'", by Marie Woolf. Independent (UK), Jan. 7, 2007.) http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article2132596.ece)
In the 1940 film "Murder in the Air," Ronald Reagan played a secret
agent assigned to protect a new weapon "capable of paralyzing
electrical currents and destroying all enemy planes in the air."
(amazon.com review, op. cit.) This role later got re-enacted while
Reagan was president. In the 1980s, "The Gipper" masterfully performed
a sequel: "Star Wars: The Strategic Defense Initiative."
Assisting Reagan in the role was Dr. Edward "Strangelove" Teller, an
early member of the Manhattan Project charged with developing the first
atomic bombs. We are told the Manhattan Project was basically disbanded
on Jan. 1, 1947, when it was officially turned over to the United
States Atomic Energy Commission. But in that time of Cold War secrecy,
how much of the truth were we told?
When the Allies had entered Germany in 1945 their scientific
intelligence experts were astounded by the sheer scope of the German
technical and scientific accomplishments. ("Operation Paperclip,"
Wikipedia reference, Jan. 7, 2007) A "divergent physics," which
unfairly rejected "Jewish physics," had embarked upon unknown realms.
Under "Operation Paperclip," the U.S. extricated Nazi scientists
from Germany, during and after the final stages of World War II. Almost
500 of these top, avant-garde scientists came here to eventually work
for NASA and the US ICBM program. "Much of the information surrounding
Operation Paperclip is still classified." ("Operation Paperclip,"
Wikipedia reference, Jan. 7, 2007)
Separate from Paperclip was an even more secret effort to capture
German nuclear secrets, equipment and personnel: "Operation Alsos."
Operation Alsos branched off from the
Manhattan Project. The personnel of the project followed close
behind the front lines, first into Italy, and then into France and
Germany, searching for personnel, records, material, and sites
involved. ("Operation Alsos," Wikipedia reference, Jan. 7, 2006)
UFO-related secret programs have consumed a significant part of
America’s black budget since the Manhattan Project. The 1997
government-disclosed intelligence budget portion alone is $26 billion
and according to Tim Weiner’s 1990 book Blank Check, the total
black-budget was about $35 billion in 1990. (Wood, Robert & Ryan.
"The Majestic Documents" web site. http://www.majesticdocuments.com/index.php)
UFO-related secret programs date back to the Manhattan Project.
Operation Alsos, more secret than Operation Paperclip, much of whose
information is still classified, branched off from the Manhattan
Project. Dr. Teller was an early member of the Manhattan Project. In
its World War II heyday, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more
than 130,000 people at multiple production and research sites operated
in secret. ("Manhattan Project," Wikipedia reference, Jan. 7, 2007)
Most people didn't know about the Manhattan Project until "afterward,"
but what is "afterward"? It is 1947, in a way, and not yet in another
way.
There is an unconfirmed story that before Reagan became Governor of
California, he and wife Nancy had a UFO sighting on a highway near
Hollywood. That would have been after he'd played a secret agent
assigned to protect a new weapon which paralyzed electric currents in
the air. So he'd have been susceptible to a strangelovian letter
written by Teller which Reagan received early in his presidency. Dr.
Teller warned Reagan about a "menace" which "does not originate here on
earth but comes from space itself." This "menace" had "no reasoning
psychology."
Mein fuehrer, the space aliens are upon us.
Teller's "Dr. Strangelove" letter is found in the Majic-12
documents. Also called the Majestic (MAnhattan proJECT) documents, they
"tell a mind-boggling story of deception, intelligence and
counterintelligence, revolutionary alien technology, missing nuclear
weapons, and compartmentalized secrecy..." (Majestic Documents web
site, op. cit.)
Reagan, a superstitious man who always carried a lucky charm in his
pocket, knocked on wood, avoided walking under ladders, and made a
habit of tossing salt over his left shoulder before each meal, sprang
into action. He began publicly refering to a threat by "a power from
another planet." ("President Reagan saw UFO, often spoke of a world
united because of alien invasion," by A. Hovni. http://www.extraterrestrial-aliens.com/26.htm)
In his later years, Dr. Teller became especially known for his
advocacy of controversial technological solutions to both military and
civilian problems, including a plan to excavate an artificial harbor in
Alaska using thermonuclear explosives. His "pure fusion" bomb, as
reported in the previous issue of Conspiracy
Nation (op. cit.), would not result in long-lived radiation.
Would this make it "okay" for Israel to use "low-yield nuclear weapons"?
The Turkish Daily News confirms that either Israel or the United
States is likely to launch "probably nuclear" strikes against Iran. The
story reportedly premiered in The Spectator, a leading conservative
magazine in Britain. ("Strike against Iran soon, UK magazine claims,"
Jan. 6, 2007)
Dr. Edward "Strangelove" Teller died on Sept. 9, 2003. Not to worry,
though. "We'll meet again."
"We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when.
We'll meet again some sunny day." (Ross Parker/Hugh Charles)
