by Ian Greenhalgh and Jeff Smith (former IAEA nuclear inspector)
Late on Saturday night, 28th April, a series of airstrikes hit Syria, local time was 10:30 pm, about 2 hours after sunset. Of particular interest is the strike that hit a target hear Hama, supposedly an arms depot. This strike produced an explosion of such massive magnitude that it shook the earth violently enough for the tremors to be picked up by seismic monitoring stations in Europe which recorded a magnitude 2.6 earthquake.
An explosion on the earth’s surface, in order to cause tremors between 2 and 3 on the Richter scale, would be between 1.5 and 3 kilotonnes TNT equivalency. Clearly, this was a tactical nuclear weapon and the arms depot story is the usual cover automatically issued when there is a suspiciously big bang.
There is a very little video available of the explosion, however at 2 mins 36 seconds into the video below, there is a white flash visible:
Although there has been no official statement from either Tel-Aviv or Damascus, it is clear that this strike was carried out by the Israelis. Most likely they used a GBU-28 carried by an F-15 and ‘toss bombed’ onto the target after approaching Lebanon at a low level than climbing to cross the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, releasing the weapon at the apex of their climb then immediately turning and running for home.
As you can see in the photos published by Al-Masdar, the target was totally obliterated, this is the aftermath of a tactical nuclear strike – everything reduced to rubble. Note the shipping containers blown around like toys, the blown back trees, and a very large shallow crater. Too big for a standard weapon of 1,000lb size. It appears to be a low altitude air blast causing the 2.6 magnitude quake. Everything was vapourised no soot/carbon present on the ground. Only steel car parts left intact that were melted at a high temp. No aluminum meaning that the heat was over 3,000 deg in order to vapourize it away.
A big blast like this is over 20,000 lbs so definitely not conventional explosives. Small arms and artillery rounds go off like popcorn in a microwave oven. Conventional blasts throw up lots of dirt with a small fireball.
These huge plasma fireball/mushroom cloud explosions are small neutron bombs using lots of lithium 6 with a thin outer shell of fissile material. Very clean burn with minimal fallout; After several hours radiation would be almost undetectable above background.
These tactical neutron bombs are likely uranium-based in order to mask their use. They are either older warheads from surplus SS-21 missiles from Russia/Ukraine or newer Israeli-made stuff using the surplus US stocks transferred under Daddy Bush. This is why both sides are quiet about their use. Much of this black market nuclear proliferation happened under Hilary and Tom Countryman at T-section of the US State Dept. This is why Trump fired Countryman and cleaned out the T-section – they let the stuff out the back door.
Thus far there has been no official statement on this strike by Damascus, Moscow, or Tehran, most likely there never will be any public acknowledgment that a nuke was used, just as there has never been on any of the many other occasions they have been used.

Reported missile strikes in Syria produced earthquake-like results
A series of powerful explosions that rocked military installations in Syria’s Aleppo and Hama provinces were apparently so powerful they were treated as earthquakes by a European monitoring center.
The tremors, ranked as a Magnitude 2.6 quake by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center, were apparently detected in the aftermath of “powerful explosions” that occurred at the “the arms depot of the 47th brigade of the Syrian army” near Hama in the aftermath of the alleged attack, though the exact cause of this quake has yet to be determined.
According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the missile attacks that apparently hit several Syrian government military bases on Saturday evening might’ve been conducted by Israeli forces, though the country’s representatives have refused to comment on the issue.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated that Israel would continue to maintain its freedom to operate in Syria.
“We have no intention to attack Russia or to interfere in domestic Syrian issues. But if somebody thinks that it is possible to launch missiles or to attack Israel or even our aircraft, have no doubt we will respond, and we will respond very forcefully,” he said at an annual Jerusalem Post conference.

Suspected Israeli attack completely destroys Syrian missile base in Hama
A powerful attack was carried out last night against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the Hama countryside that killed more than 30 soldiers.
The attack completely destroyed the Brigade 47 Base, causing a massive explosion that could be heard throughout much of the country.
According to a Syrian military source, the attack was carried out by the Israeli Air Force; however, the latter has yet to comment on the allegations.
The military source added that the attack was believed to have been carried out by an Israeli F-35 fighter jet, as the remnants of glide bombs were found at the site.
Addendum I
Did Israel Attack Syria with Nuclear Weapons, VT’s Secret Mission to Syria Confirms
by Gordon Duff, VT Sr. Editor, … with New Eastern Outlook, Moscow
– First published … September 29, 2015 –
Was Syria nuked by Israel in May 2013? Answers to questions like this and others were given in a very private mission to Damascus. The nuclear question alone, which was answered at Syria’s highest levels, should turn the world upside down.
A week ago, an amazing mission to Syria ended. Officially, it was a VT private media conference with Syrian ministries and security officials including a lengthy visit with the Grand Mufti and Ali Mamlouk. In truth, the visit was much more.
In actuality, when our armed convoy left the Lebanese border for the run-up to Damascus, just south of where the big battle for Zabadani was wrapping up, there were more faces there than imagined, representing both the Washington intelligence and legal communities. This is the highest level “non-official” delegation ever to travel to Syria.
Many of the issues discussed were private confidences, with VT sharing its extensive open-source intelligence and Syria showing some of its best-kept secrets.
An issue that needs to be dealt with first involves President Putin and the stories of Russian and Chinese planes bombing Palmyra, Idlib and threatened areas of Aleppo. These stories were planted in the mainstream media and in some European “fringe” websites by Israeli handlers in a last-ditch attempt to block the nuclear settlement and to intimidate enough United States senators to flip President Obama’s ability to protect this vital treaty.
All tied to these bizarre tales, quickly buried as an embarrassment, are “burned,” the “Euro-lefties” and pseudo-anti-imperialistas.
Israel failed — but failed even more in leaving the story to build a life of its own. The highest level intelligence and security officials in Syria nearly laughed themselves to death when we discussed this at midnight conferences in secure locations near Damascus.
The fabricated stories were pumped out to the media, Huffington Post, Reuters, Associated Press, Al Jazeera among the many “psyop fronts” used in the information war that increasingly ties Western intelligence agencies to ISIS, al Nusra, and, historically, all al Qaeda operations since the early 1990s.
While it is long established that Russia and Iran are both supplying advisors and advanced armaments to Syria, the stories meant to alarm the press and sway American politics, total hoaxes, not only took on a life on their own but, rather humorously, became a major source of leverage for Russia in negotiations on not only Syrian security but other regions as well.
Although there has never been any credible intelligence of a Russian military buildup in Syria, without sending in a single battalion, President Putin first alarmed the West and later was able to crack NATO’s hardshell by failing to totally distance himself from the wild rumors.
Instead, he was able to capitalize this farce into a panic meeting with President Obama scheduled for September 28, 2015. There, President Obama had to arrive saddled with an agenda that includes literally thousands of Kiev ceasefire violations, thus tainting America with “dirty hands” in Ukraine. The carryover into the Syria talks must have made Obama “meat” for Putin’s table. [Note: This meeting went for 90 minutes, and Putin’s UN speech far surpassed Obama’s in veracity and statesmanship, with Obama’s speechwriters doing him an incredible disservice].
Obama will be further saddled with Merkel’s announcement that she favors open talks with Assad, a tacit admission that the Damascus government’s survival is all that can save Europe from an influx of refugees that may well put an end to Eurozone solidarity.
Adding additional pain to Obama’s already bleak position is the recent debacle where the second group of American trained “moderate rebels” have not only joined al Qaeda but did so publicly while turning over their new and shiny advanced American weaponry for the world to see.
General John Allen oversaw the “moderate” rebel training disaster
When in March 2015, General Allen, Obama’s chosen “crisis manager” for the war on ISIS announced what all knew to be a mindless policy doomed to failure, many took this as a tacit admission that America was and is, unofficially at least, the parent of al Qaeda and its protector.
Thus Obama will meet Putin with General Allen having resigned in disgrace, and then a disgraced General Petraeus clearly backing al Qaeda, with Merkel aligned with Putin and the albatross that is the Kiev junta hanging around his neck. You just can’t make this stuff up.
Obama arrives with Netanyahu’s “scalp” hanging from his belt, a political victory on a grand scale, arriving with this and, quite frankly, nothing to lose. This is how I see it, written before the meeting.
There is one issue that came from the Syrian trip that has to be addressed. Back in May 2013, Syrian news sources reported the sinking of an Israeli-German Dolphin submarine off the coast near Tartus. Intelligence sources had confirmed that two Dolphin submarines were there to pick up Israeli commandos who had been planting radio repeaters disguised as rocks which were to transmit signals “proving” Syria was using Sarin gas against its own people.
Syrian sources also confirmed the presence of a German communications intelligence ship nearby which would have had full knowledge of the Israeli Sarin gas hoax meant to escalate issues into a “red line” confrontation between the US and Russia, a confrontation that may have led to nuclear war. (video of nuclear weapon censored by YouTube)
Two days later, there was a massive explosion outside Damascus, during an Israeli artillery barrage on a Syrian military headquarters. The video, when examined by nuclear weapons experts, showed a nuclear flash, a mushroom cloud, and ball lightning. VT was first to identify this as a nuclear attack by Israel on Syria. It was assumed this was a revenge attack by Israel for the lost Dolphin, which by the way are never admitted publicly, ever.
Yet, nothing was reported and Syria remained silent. America never attacked Syria. The CIA found evidence of the Israeli ploy and discovered Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey and perhaps even Germany as complicity as well.
We at VT learned that Russian nuclear inspectors visited the site and confirmed this to be a nuclear attack but still nothing was said. We have this from the highest Syrian sources, only confirming what we had published back in May of 2013.
There was a reason the VT mission took this story back to Syria for confirmation. It is more than simply another “secret” use of a tactical nuclear weapon and the continuation of the false narrative of Hiroshima sized dirty nukes, something anyone with access to Wikipedia could have long put to rest.
We have the following issues to take into account:
- There is full confirmation that the US knew of the use of Sarin gas inside Syria by a coalition that includes Israel, Turkey, Georgia, Ukraine and possibly Germany, yet did nothing about it.
- There is full confirmation that the US knew Israel attacked Damascus with a nuclear weapon but for the next two years played games with Iran, as though that nation was the “bad player” and not Israel.
At some point, some inexorable truth has to alter the mythical narrative and end the fantasy world the public is fed and that world politicians adhere to out of cowardice and ignorance.
When, in 2013, the world media turned its back on the manufactured stories of Syrian government barrel bombings and gas attacks and America backed down, humiliated that even a president and secretary of state could be propagandized by their own briefers, nothing was said.
What was exposed was not only a mechanism for manufacturing war, the same one used by Bush (41) in 1990 and his misguided son in 2003 but one that has outlived the disgraced Bush presidents and has tried to take down another victim in President Obama.
The failure to address the real threat, the ability for lies themselves to take on a life beyond measure, leaves governments in the hands of a press dominated by imaginary sources, nameless “blogger” reporters and their handlers, rogue intelligence agencies, corporate masters, and even an unseen “third force.”

Submitted by Heinz Pommer with Jeff Prager to VT
Introduction by Gordon Duff with Ian Greenhalgh and Jeff Smith (Nuclear weapons designer/particle physicist)
The material here is overwhelming, with hours of lectures and dozens of detailed slides. This is not an easy read. It is another piece of irrevocable proof regarding 9/11 and the use of nuclear weapons and, on its own, worth much more than just scanning or flipping through.
Architects and engineers say planes don’t knock down skyscrapers. Nuclear physicists say only atomic bombs can turn out this kind of heat and damage. The real investigators who were silenced by a grand jury and a wealth of threats said it was a conspiracy and named lots of names, some expected, some not.
Now an independent physicist has proven the work done by the original investigators who were silenced and much new work as well. His modeling and detail are breathtaking.
We were recently introduced to the work of German physicist Heinz Pommer. I chose to contact him. His work deeply parallels work done by the US Department of Energy and IAEA which was censored and suppressed so that the fake 9/11 report could be published and blame put on Iraq and Afghanistan.
Unlike Pommer’s work (aided by Jeff Prager), the VT team included some of those involved in the ill-fated original investigation. Working from different data to an extent, both teams have ended up with nearly identical results.
VT knows the who, how and when from official sources. Pommer (and Prager), however, have taken their portion a step further and have produced what the original team would have presented to congress and the president, had they been allowed, of the proofs of nuclear weapons and their effects. Their work is identical to the secret work by the DOE and Sandia National Labs but adds much as well.
Included are video presentations sent by Pommer to me and his PDF slides. This material has been submitted to the US team and we will get their comments.
6.3 Demon’s trap 9/11
Your mind is not your consciousness. Your consciousness is your state or quality of awareness of your existence, of being a person.
Your mind, however, can be hijacked and controlled. Your thoughts can be guided to this and that, and finally, your mind might simply play the role of an uneducated dog. It barks a lot: “be aware, intruders!”
If your mind is bent the right way (in the sense of the perpetrators of 9/11) you will accept nothing except the fairy tale of Osama bin Laden. Then your mind and your thoughts will clutch and grasp to the last straws, in order to save your world view. It will accept nothing, least of all an offending truth.
Truth, however, is important. So, let’s start this subchapter by rendering homage to one great defender of the truth, Saint Augustine of Hippo.
Augustine of Hippo (354 – 430 AD)
Saint Augustine of Hippo from Numidia (a Roman province on the North African Coast) was in a certain sense an extremist, whose position could be condensed in the phrase:
“Better to fall with the truth than to stand with the lie.”
He knew Rome well, as he would recognize Rome in modern western society in his splendor and cruelty. Victory at all costs. The truth does not matter, the triumph of the lie is omnipresent and masked – if at all – by the cozy word “illusion”.
To understand the essence of truth – the love of God’s creation by all beings – he also studied the lie, defining how these two antipodes reveal themselves in human society.
The next pages show 25 steps in which the destruction process of the South Tower and the processes in the ground are sketched. These sketches did offend many people and were harshly criticized as “fantasy sketches”, or even as a “dangerous effort to deceive the public”.
However, these sketches should be regarded only as a playful approach in an effort to understand a physical process and to calculate a more precise model afterward. They don’t pretend being “The Truth”. For a conscious person, there is nothing offensive in them. Even if your mind tells you so.

The bill (Reauthorization 2015)
In 2015, the Congress passed and President Obama signed the reauthorization of the James Zadroga Act. It provided an additional 4.6 billion dollars in funding for its mission.
The bill (9/11 Victims Compensation Fund reauthorization 2019, until … 2090)
According to a Congressional Budget Office estimate, paying out the outstanding claims and future claims would cost $10.2 billion over the next decade.
The bill does not appropriate a specific amount of money to process victims’ compensation claims, instead of appropriating “such sums as may be necessary for the fiscal year 2019 and each fiscal year thereafter through the fiscal year 2090.”

For the jews to have such enormous control over the US, I have long suspected they have “Nuclear” weapon[s] in Washington.
read the report on 9/11 by pommer
DU can be exploded but it takes tons of it and making the weapon is extremely difficult…lots of reflectors maintain a chain reaction
The story you are talking about is fake news. Sorry, someone made it up to make fools of those who believe it like the climate denialists paid by the coal lobby and the “end times” anti-vaxxers” trying to murder us all
