“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).

    Jesus. Fuckin. Christ.

    They’re actually doing it. They are testing tactical nuclear weapons in a theatre they can examine so they can observe the effects on humans they consider expendable. This is the legacy of Operation Paperclip

      Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory director Harold Brown and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev both described neutron bombs as a “capitalist bomb”, because it was designed to destroy people while preserving property.

    I asked a colleague to go to Lebanon and get samples from the crater, and also an ambulance air filter. When they were analysed, using two separate methods, they showed the presence not of Depleted Uranium, but of Enriched Uranium (EU). Now this is impossible, unless the weapon was made from EU or created EU from neutron irradiation of U-234 and U-238.

    Holy shit, I mean this is incontrovertible evidence. And this guy keeps finding it over and over.

    Holy shit what a read. I mean if this is correct this is awful.

    I’ve never heard of these nuclear bombs without a fallout but they sound horrifying.

    Israel has committed so many atrocities.

    Deuterium dissolved in Uranium and when this warhead, as small as a baseball, was fired at a solid object, the hydrogen suffered Cold Fusion to form Helium with the emission of a powerful gamma ray which cause the U238 to convert to an unstable U-239 which decayed to U-235 and a neutron.

    Uh, what the fuck? Neutron bombs are a thing as far as I am aware, but why is this article all of a sudden talking about cold fusion? Definitely makes it so I can’t share the article with anyone.

    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.

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

    Thanks for posting this. I prepared an article to explain the findings some more to the layman, it’s coming out in 2 hours. This is huge and not unbelievable, the caution imo is whether they used neutron bombs or other weapons. The fact that U-235 was found in high concentrations in Gaza is the smoking gun; this doesn’t happen naturally.

      Dehumanization is a nasty trap. Their actions are vile and they must be stopped, but they are still people.

        You are right. But when polls show 97% of them want even more bombs dropped on Gaza, reeducation seems helpless on them

        They are still humans (and as a species we’re worse off for it), yes. But they are settler-genocidaires, first and foremost- they are the ones who have willingly and knowingly cast aside their ties to the rest of humanity, who have drawn a line between the “people” and the “human animals” (to use a certain Isntreali govt ministers words).

        Their beliefs- imperialism, settler-ism, and genocide, are incompatible with the rest of the human race. Unless and until they fix that it’s one or the other.

        They are fascists not men or women. They have chosen to abandon humanity of their own free will and have shown that they will murder everyone and everything that isn’t them. Dehumanization is and has been what they believe and forfeit any rights to be allowed to continue.

    i believe this guy as far as i can throw him.
    he was selling “anti-radiation” pills in japan and says the japanese government are spreading radioactive waste around the country to hide cancer cases from their experiments.

    this post should be deleted.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Pepe Escobar’s source claiming they tried to nuke Iran was right too… bloody hell. I hope that every horror is returned back in kind on the settler-imperialists… the Zios and their Anglo-European masters alike. The rest of the world may wholly understandably want to put off such suicidal MAD as long as possible (if nothing else to prepare themselves better), but I think it’s coming one way or another.

    Isntreal needs to understand- to be taught, exactly what happens when they commit industrial genocide, and what happens when they invoke MAD… I’ll avoid saying more for reasons, but needless to say I hope they learn it in full. And when the rest of the west brings it down on themselves as well I hope for exactly the same even if I’m still in it, even though my immediate family and many of my loved ones live in it, the imperialists- the seeds of evil (all those who support the empire) must learn their lesson in full or the horrors will never end. There must be no place for the settler-genocidal, supremacist mentality on this entire earth.
