“Israel” has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. …

“Israel” and the USA (at least) have developed what is almost certainly a mini-neutron bomb. “Israel” is using it in Gaza. And may be using it in Lebanon (again).


EDIT: some important criticisms of the author have been raised in the comments. It’s quite possible he’s speculating too much from insufficient evidence. However, he does offer the following, which we shouldn’t dismiss either:

  1. Enriched Uranium was found in Gaza according to this Nature article.
  2. A crater from an “israeli” bomb in Lebanon was found to be radioactive (original source was an unnamed Lebanese newspaper in 2006, but it was also discussed in this article in The Independent).
  3. Samples from the crater were found to contain enriched uranium (independently verified by the Harwell laboratory, as mentioned by The Independent article in 2).

    After reading the article and looking into this Dr. Busby I feel like caution is necessary.

    While I wouldn’t put it past the imperialists to use nuclear weapons, the author has taken some questionable positions in the past. The again said positions are merely not in line with the narrative the imperialist project presents, so maybe there’s nothing to be concerned about here.

    The UN for example stated in 2006 that his claims of DU munitions being used In Kosovo and Iraq (part two) are empirically false, but since then the US and NATO have admitted to it.

    He has a very strange theory of radiation effects on humans, one which doesn’t at all match with long established evidence, the mainstream theory, nor more modern theories.

    He also claimed the Fukushima disaster (and Chernobyl) was much worse than it’s generally agreed to be, and was selling some sort of anti-radiation pill of questionable effectiveness to Japanese people in the area.

    The people who already mentioned cold fusion in this thread have made good points as well. I can’t find much on this Del Guidice character but there’s a bit in the German Wikipedia entry noting that his and his collaborator Giuliano Preparata’s ideas on cold fusion and the “memory of water” were not well accepted amongst peers.

      Yeah I noticed this too when I read it yesterday but couldn’t type a reply at the moment. Thanks for bringing it up.

      There’s definitely plenty to question in the article. I’ve added an edit to point out the most important evidence he provides though.
