Air Force refused to fly weapons to Middle East theater

WMR has learned from U.S. and foreign intelligence sources that the B-52 transporting six stealth AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles, each armed with a W-80-1 nuclear warhead, on August 30, were destined for the Middle East via Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

However, elements of the Air Force, supported by U.S. intelligence agency personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear weapons and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force and U.S. Intelligence Community.

Yesterday, the Washington Post attempted to explain away the fact that America’s nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented manner by reporting that it was the result of “security failures at multiple levels.” It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result of a command and control chain-of-command “failures” but the result of a revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional
weapons.

  1. When military officers are ordered to commit crimes they have the responsibility to refuse to carry out those orders. There are Lawful orders which they must obey and unlawful orders which they MUST disobey. When they carry out orders they know to be unlawful, they are committing a crime and are liable to punishment. Killing people and causing death without justification, without plausible evidence of an immediate threat, is, very simply, Murder, no matter whether it is the act of an individual, a group or a government which falsely calls it national policy. I have prayed for years that the military’s top leaders would finally come to their senses and put a stop to this murderous insanity.
