You Too: How to Mantle Your Own Atomic Bomb
Everybody's gone nuking, nuking USA.
Yep, that's the savage trend our fine intelligence services and loyal Administrations are fighting against. Thanks to revelations by Daily Mail via Obsidian Wings/Hilzoy, we see the full extent of how close the perpetrators have gotten to our shores, creating a monstrous threat out of ordinary household materials that would put Iran and North Korea's efforts to shame. Here's but a brief glimpse of their modus operandi. For the squeamish, you may want to stop now - it ain't pretty. My guess is they plan on getting our children versed in these techniques via carefully relabled Madrassas, basically liberal-funded day care and alternative school programs a la William Ayers, this time promoted by the insidious and dastardly Barbara Ehrenreich posing as a "food editor":
"First transform the gas into a liquid by subjecting it to pressure. You can use a bicycle pump for this. Then make a simple home centrifuge. Fill a standard-size bucket one-quarter full of liquid uranium hexafluoride. Attach a six-foot rope to the bucket handle. Now swing the rope (and attached bucket) around your head as fast as possible. Keep this up for about 45 minutes. Slow down gradually, and very gently put the bucket on the floor. The U-235, which is lighter, will have risen to the top, where it can be skimmed off like cream. Repeat this step until you have the required 10 pounds of uranium. (Safety note: Don't put all your enriched uranium hexafluoride in one bucket. Use at least two or three buckets and keep them in separate corners of the room. This will prevent the premature build-up of a critical mass.)"
Rather shocking. Read the whole instructions page - it gets worse. Easier than most 3rd graders' homework assignments (presuming they can twirl a bucket for 45 minutes), this presents a threat to us all, in the most bi-partisan sense, which is why the Obama government has chose to continue its state secrets policy and privilege approach coherently pieced together by the previous DoJ, so it can countermand those who've read this brainwashing material in some of the only effective de-programming ways possible, such as slicing up their penises and pouring a hot stinging liquid into the wounds. Obviously the softies at the ACLU want to see this essential tool in the fight against terrorism dismantled, and go out of their way to equate it with methods like water boarding, which may or may not be torture anyway. And at the end of the day, this wasn't at Gitmo, it was in Morocco, so how could it be our fault?
Fortunately, our Democracy keeps on ticking and we find new and creative ways to counter the threats against America by the likes of Biryam Mohamed. At some point, foreign nationals shouldn't enjoy the compassion of our over-generous judicial system. Obama continues the tradition of tough love and the unpleasant covert tactics needed to keep our open system intact. When it comes to security, Americans know the importance of bi-partisanship, and will give the Administration the needed support to keep our intelligence services doing whatever it purportedly might be doing to defend our human rights home and abroad. While the courts try to legislate from the bench, our intelligence services are better prepared to legislate and execute from back rooms and basements, and for that we can sleep better at night. Remember, they're out there, somewhere. If not this one, one like him.
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Nukin' U.S.A.
They'll all be planning an escape route
They're gonna strike real soon
We'll be tapping the switchboards
We can't wait for June
We're on high alert for the summer (Inside outside USA)
We're on observance to stay (Inside outside USA)
Tell the public we're workin' (Inside outside USA)
Protectin' the U.S.A.
















Engineered genes are my big worry. Nukes are so obvious, so 50s.

We can torture those away too.
Speaking of 50's:
Gene, gene, chromosomes red,
the stem line's gone green,
While the hills are ablaze
with the last nuclear haze,
Come into my arms, new found gene.

Great Des! As if I wasn't already on the watchlist and selected for special screening at the airport enough because of my name and my mom , now I clicked on the dreaded satirical how to make an H-Bomb link. Thanks!

That which does not kill us makes us stronger, at least when doing Clear and EPO.

Careful, north of the 49th I hear you have to swing it the opposite direction. And careful you don't bust your jaw, hard to get that radioactive goo out of your teeth.

Bloody hell. I think you may be right. Handbooks says it's supposed to look like butter. But this is definitely margarine.
I can tell the difference.
P.S. I have to joke about cases like this, because otherwise I'd want to line up the judges & those involved & beat them with axe-handles. I mean, more will probably come out on this guy, beyond this stupid web-site. But it's likely to be about as expert and as fanatical as your average pissed off guy in a bar. And less so than those yahoos who recently went to DC, with guns, talking about killing the President. But they beat THIS guy to shit, ruined his life, and used it all to whoop up fear in everyone. It just makes me livid.
"Crying FIRE in a crowded theatre?" These bastards cried TERROR in every room in the nation. Damn 'em to hell.

Note to Little Boy emulators: the gun projectile was the ring, not the core. About fifty pounds of HEU, maybe thirty lbs. for the moving part.

Hmmm, may have to postpone this to the 6th grade class.

Make sure you leave adequate instructions to those who know and love you. Once they find out you have a bucket and a bicycle pump they will put two and two together with your smiling face on an atomic explosion and hold you for questioning for the next ten years.

Yeah, that's what we send our extraordinary rendition clients off to, at least in the case of Bayam Mohamed. But torture doesn't seem so exciting anymore, it's so last administration.

Heh.
The genie is out of the bottle - in this case, the basic knowledge required. It can't be put back in, there is simply no way to restrain the knowledge.
On the front of preventing access to fissionables, there's been mixed success, notably the-Middle-East-country-that-can't-be-named, India and Pakistan. Those are states, though, and are more difficult to constrain than individuals, as North Korea has demonstrated.
So, given that, why are we apparently so disinterested in making sure the fewest possible number of people have a desire to acquire or construct, and use, a nuclear weapon?
