Missiles in a Shipping Box: Game Changing Weaponry: Club-K Container Missile Program:

New technology to hit surface and land targets is being developed by a Russian company, and will allow rogue nations like Iran to purchase cruise missiles built into standard 40' shipping containers. The containers can travel by 18-wheelers, rail and sea. See an excellent video below, showing clearly what these missiles can do.

Missiles in Shipping Containers

This weapon is clearly intended for anti-American countries or individuals. In the video below you'll see how Iran, Syria and Palestine might even the playing field with the Club-K Container Missile Program. How about Yemen? How about al-Qaeda?

Priced at an estimated £10 million, each container is fitted with four cruise anti-ship or land attack missiles. The system represents an affordable "strategic level weapon"...

"This is ballistic missile proliferation on a scale we have not seen before because now you cannot readily identify what's being used as a launcher because it's very carefully disguised.

"Someone could sail off your shore looking innocuous then the next minute big explosions are going off at your military installations." 

FrontPage Magazine: A Game Changing Weapon:

The Russian company Concern Morinformsystem-Agat is marketing a deadly new weapon, one that can allow a rogue state to overcome the technological superiority of Western militaries. The system can even be used to carry out devastating attacks on the U.S. homeland with little means of defense...

In addition, these vehicles can cross borders, making it more difficult to identify the perpetrator of an attack and impossible to predict where an attack might come from. The missiles might from a shipping vessel off the coast or a truck that crossed via the Mexican border. With a range of 220 kilometers, or about 136 miles, they can either be fired from a safe distance from the border or the distance can be minimized by getting close to the target by being hidden.

Limping Man Missing Two Fingers may be Building a Fertilizer Bomb: Do You Know Him?

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) anti-terrorist unit is on the the trail of the limping man with two missing fingers who purchased 1,500 kilogram of fertilizer.

 Fertilizer Bombing of Oklahoma City's Murrah Building

Limping Man bought sixty 25-kilogram bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer in Lincoln, Ontario on May 26th. According to this article, 1,500 kilograms of fertilizer is a legitimate amount to purchase for use as fertilizer, but is also enough to build a bomb.

 The Globe and Mail describes the man as 50-60 years old, perhaps of European descent, with a limp and two missing fingers on the right hand.

[The limping man] told staff he was buying it on behalf of a regular customer and loaded the fertilizer onto a flatbed trailer...He was pulling the flatbed with an older model maroon or red-coloured minivan.

Anyone who can help police track down the missing fertilizer can call them at 905-688-411, ext. 4208 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) 

The G20 Summit will meet in Toronto June 25-27, 2010, at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $1 Billion. Lincoln is a little more than an hour's drive from Toronto. The G-8 Summit is in Huntsville, Ontario at the same time, June 25-27, 2010. It is feared the Summits may be a target.

I think I'd keep my children out of big malls until they find the limping man.

Bunker Buster Funding: Massive Ordnance Penetrator - MOP Ready Within Months

Reports are citing the Pentagon's accelerated request to Congress for funding of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) Bunker Buster - a mega-bunker-buster. Apparently, the request has been approved. I would have bet money against that request with our current Congress.

According to this ABC report, the request was a part of a 93-page "reprogramming" request.

The comptroller said the Pentagon planned to spend $19.1 million to procure our of the bombs, $28.3 million to accelerate the "bomb's development and testing," and $21 million to accelerate the integration of the bomb onto B-2 stealth bombers.

The MOP can hit targets 200 feet below ground. It is 20 feet long, holds 5,300 pounds of explosives, and it has a special mission:

...defeat hard and deeply buried targets where our adversary would have the support structure for WMD-type systems.

Hard and deeply buried targets like North Korea's and Iran's Natanz centrifuge facility (about 130 miles south of Tehran) and wherever the newest known plant inside the country might be.

The DEBKAfile reported this story on September 8th saying that acceleration of 10-12 MOPs had been requested, which "trebeled" the original request:

Gen. Shackelford said: "These are purchases beyond just those needed to test their capability. In other words (the military is seeking to) build a small inventory of, I believe, 10-12 bombs."

B-2 Stealth Bomber

McDonnell Douglas was awarded a $51.9 million contract to modify the B-2 stealth bomber to carry the mammoth MOP. The Pentagon said at least one "bunker buster" would be ready within months.
