TOP US COMMANDER UNDER ARREST FOR REFUSING TO FIRE NUKES AT RUSSIA

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared
by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) for the Ministry of Defense (MoD)
states that President Barack Obama’s nuclear war communication commander
has been arrested and relieved of her command after failing to transmit launch codes authorizing an atomic weapons first-strikeattack upon the Federation in coordination with a similar “surprise” attack planned by the United Kingdom.

According to the SVR, US Navy Captain Heather E. Cole [photo ] was the commander of the US Navy’s Strategic Communications Wing 1 located at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma whose E-6B Mercury aircraft provide the communications links allowing President Obama and US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter to directly contact the submarines, bombers and land-based missiles that comprise the United States strategic nuclear force.

On Monday, 16 March, this report states, Captain Cole received from the Pentagon a launch order authorizing a “limited” nuclear strike against the Federation, but which failed due to a critical Permissive Action Link (PAL) failure thus causing her to abort this planned attack.

As a PAL is a security device for nuclear weapons whose purpose is to prevent unauthorized arming or detonation of the nuclear weapons, SVR experts in this report explain, the critical failure in this instance was an added security measure ordered by the former US Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel,
prior to his being forced out of office last month over his refusal
to have any part in this attack against Russia.

This report further explains that Secretary Carter was not aware of Secretary Hagel’s PAL security changes thus allowing Captain Cole to abort this planned nuclear attack.
For her failure to communicate the launch authorization to US nuclear forces,
this report continues, Captain Cole was arrested on Tuesday, 17 March,
relieved of her command and then taken by armed guard to US Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar in San Diego (California) where she remains incommunicado.

The SVR in their report on Captain Cole’s refusal to start World War III further states that her actions mirrors those of Soviet Naval Captain Vasili Arkhipov,
who during the Cuban Missile Crisis, in 1962, also refused to obey orders to launch nuclear weapons against the United States.

Upon Captain Cole being arrested, a MoD appendix to this SVR report says, President Putin ordered the Federations strategic nuclear bomber forces to their “fail-safe” locations in the Arctic (the fastest air route to the US from Russia),
an expansion of the Northern Fleet’s combat operations into the Norwegian Sea, and continued combat air operations against NATO forces on the northern border.

Important to note, and as we had stated in our 14 March report, Russia Warns “State Of War” Exists As UK Nukes Prepare First Strike, President Putin and the MoD had been made aware of the planned nuclear attack against the Federation weeks ago thus allowing the Federation to move its own nuclear forces to the NATO border.
Likewise, and as we had reported on 15 March,
Obama Meets With Top Russian Spy, Warns He Can’t Stop War,
neither President Putin or the MoD have any confidence that President Obama is even in control his military forces anymore, thus necessitating the Federations greatest defensive war moves since World War II, and as we reported on in our 17 March report, Moscow Bomb Shelters Begin To Fill As Russia Prepares For War.

And, perhaps, most appalling…
as President Putin,

after greeting over 100,000 cheering citizen-supporters in Red Square earlier today, meets with close aide to Chinese President Xi Jinping to update China on the Federations war preparations, there remains no evidence that the West, particularly the United States, are preparing their own people for the horrific catastrophe soon to come.

The fate of Captain Cole, however, is much more known as it will be exactly
like Captain Arkhipov’s…a relegation to the dustbin of history as a failed officer, at best, or her early suicide/death to prevent her from telling what she knows.

Sounds like a BS Story to me. Nukes aren't launched by a single command and require authorization codes be in place and correct. This is all done by analog signals not verbal messaging and not computer controlled. This hasn't changed in many decades and won't as long as computer signaling can be hacked. Can't hack analog ! So this is false.

No Wonder all of our public communications including the TV signal have been converted to digital!! even where there still was bandwith available.

Nuke launch systems are still all by word, by mouth and according to security word sequence protocols, and so on.

It is something that is very difficult, if not impossible to hack, and it is something that has much complexity even in that..as it SHOULD be difficult to launch nukes, even if one did want to launch them.

Better triple, better quadruple safe..than sorry just the one time.

21st March 2015, 02:01
Oh and by the way, she was only the wing commander (basically an administrative position) and would not have any control whatsoever over the launch codes nor the ability to abort a launch order.

The E-6's all carry a General Class Officer in command of the Battle Staff and they are all linked through RF Comms and Satellite to the Looking Glass and E-4B's, which are linked directly to the Pentagon and the White House.

Once an EWO (Emergency War Order) is transmitted by POTUS (President) across this network, and then Authenticated by the Battle Staffs, there will be no stopping it as each aircraft carry a complete ALCS (Airborne Launch Control System) and Missile Launch Crew.

There is no 'Middle Man'.

This Commander deserves the medal of honor for her service to the human race and all animal and vegetable life on earth. The nuclear weapons of today are more deadly in their extent and consequences than even those who send them out can imagine. If it is true that these men have deliberately planned to start world war III, then we, as the responsible human beings on this planet must remove them from their ill gotten power. Their Billion Dollar payoffs from the higher powers that be will not profit them where they are going. What starts as a skirmish, compared with the billions who will be slaughtered, demands cooler heads and not deliberate alien motivated genocidal plotters!

Top US Commander Under Arrest For Refusing To Fire Nukes At Russia

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

This is disinfo, like Harley has already pointed out. Sorcha Faal is well known for putting misleading stories out there. The two main outlets for the rubbish he pedals are the EUTIMES and WHATDOESITMEAN.

Dr Jim Garrow was talking about the "litmus test" on a few radio talk shows which concerned US servicemen in 2013/2014 which included a story about nukes, mainly the launch vehicles and the missing warheads from the US. It seems to have all gone quiet from him, for a while at least.

Do a search and you will find it being discussed here.

The "litmus test" (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2013/01/31/blackhawks-tanks-dhs-ammo-containers-and-litmus-tests/) was more to do with the serviceman being asked if they would fire on US citizens if ordered if I remember correctly. There were a number of "nuclear staff" that were included in the sackings. I seem to remember "gambling" being one of the reasons listed for the sackings in one of the newspapers.

This is just my take on it anyways.

Please remember them three names though... Sorcha Faal, EUTIMES.NET, WHATDOESITMEAN.COM. Do not waste your time following that rubbish. Faal sees a story and will spin it and add a really stupid twist, then he punts it out on either one of them two well known disinfo outlets.

To Harley or anyone else who has knowledge. According to Tom Bearden, the US nuclear arsenal has another automatic launch trigger, besides the Emergency War Order sequence, which he called the "Dead Man Fusing" program. Under this launch system there are personnel who's job is to periodically (I believe he said every 5 minutes) enter a code to STOP the launch of nukes! The reasoning behind this is that if the personnel fail to enter the Stop code, the assumption is that they have been compromised or are dead due to an enemy's action and the nukes will automatically launch! I don't think Bearden was a fan of this system as he has been quoted as saying, "The Fools may blow it yet!"

Anyone have more info?

If this is disinfo serving a fearmongering agenda, then it will backfire because it mostly instils two useful ideas: 1. that the US is crazy enough to contemplate firing nukes, and 2. that US military might be unwilling to follow crazy orders.

Navy Strategic Air Wing Commander Fired
WASHINGTON — Mar 17, 2015, 5:07 PM ET
By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer
Associated Press
The Navy fired the commander of an organization whose aircraft allow the president and the secretary of defense to directly contact the submarines, bombers and land-based missiles that comprise the nation's strategic nuclear force.

A Navy statement said Capt. Heather E. Cole was relieved of her duties as commander of Strategic Communications Wing 1, based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, for what it called a "loss of confidence" in her ability to lead.

A spokeswoman, Cmdr. Jeannie Groeneveld, said the firing was based on findings of an investigation into her management of the wing. Details were not released.

Cole's air wing has no role in operating nuclear weapons but is responsible for the Navy squadrons whose E-6B Mercury aircraft provide communications links between the president and the nuclear forces.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/navy-strategic-air-wing-commander-fired-29708006

True, but these scanty reports by ABC news do not really sound like they are getting to the truth about what is going on either.
The media these days only report "official statements" and no one ever really does any investigative reporting any more. "Details were not released." Blah blah blah...
where are the details?

Something from Pravda forum, on this topic:


Just for clarification:

I devoted a full two hour show in 2009, while at RBN, on the subject of Sorcha Faal following a personal two week investigation. Here is what I uncovered, if youre interested:

1. Sorcha Faal appears to be an acronym for a multi-generational cabal of Ashkenazim Jewish women who first formed clear back in 1290 A.D. If this is accurate and true, they have continued their organizational structure through world wars and upheavals in Europe to the present day and consist of a tightly-knit group of 13 sisters at the very top of their Order. A close examination of their website, What Does It Mean shows an amalgamation of witchcraft (WICCA) and mystic new-age icons, which gives an awake Christian a very strong clue as to their true agenda. They are NOT Christian, and likely follow instead the old, mystery religion of Babylon which involves scrying and demonic divination practices primarily.

2. The group fancies themselves literal descendants of Rachal (aka Rachel) the wife of the biblical Jacob. The actual title of this master coven is As of Rachal a title consisting of 9 letters.

3. I discovered that when you take the 9 letters of As of Rachal and give each a numeric value, (one through nine) and then place these letters in the 9-lettered Masonic Tracing Board (which is also referred to by Babylonian Kabbala as the Tree of Life) the tracing board transforms As of Rachal into sorcha faal. Thus, Sorcha Faal is the overt public name of their coven, while the actual name As of Rachal remains covert and hidden from the profane goyim".

Here’s another perspective:

Let’s say that – in true disinfo fashion – a significant portion of the Sorcha Fool report is actually true, necessarily, in order to suck us in. This nuclear incident really happened; a nuclear message was thwarted and ‘somebody’ was pissed off. A commander/top officer has been arrested. Reuters has confirmed.

But beyond that, here’s where it gets interesting. Who is supposed to be blamed/exonerated here for giving that nuclear order? Who - what group – then resisted? What really happened? And is Fool now charged with re-spinning the story, to blame ‘someone else’? Who’s covering, and what and why?

Again and again, we have recently been seeing serious military flag officers with their fingers on the nuclear buttons being removed from their command. I haven’t the patience nor research skill (Buares/Francois, please help?) to cite all the senior US nuclear command here that have been removed over the past 24 months on entirely flimsy token excuses (“gambling” “drinking on shore leave” etc.) from the nuclear command.

But we have utterly no information – and warring reports – about what may or may not be going on in Washington. Were they actually fired:

a) Because they refused a (say) Bush/Cheney/Zionist/secret government order to fire a nuke? Are those removed actually the White Hats?

b) Or were they relieved of command because they themselves were part of that cabal and were rooted out by so-called Patriots in the Pentagon? Who’s on first?

I suspect a larger effort to ‘turn’ the story is part of the Faal release.

But by whom? Who has the upper hand here? Faal’s report might benefit from some deeper analysis. Flat rejection as ‘stupid’ may not serve us well. More questions might be necessary.

Control of the planet’s nuclear arsenal is at stake. And no one – no one – will publically discuss this.

That silence, in itself, is significant and this does concern us all.

Selene

"We do not need the celestial threat to disguise Cold War intentions; rather we need the Cold War to disguise celestial intentions!"~ British astronomer Victor Clube, author of The Cosmic Serpent and The Cosmic Winter, in a report commissioned by the U.S. Air Force
