Social psychosis is widespread. In the words of the British psychiatrist, R. D. Laing, “The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man.”
He was not referring to raving, drooling, hitting-your-head-against-the-wall lunacy but a taken-for-granted acceptance of a world long teetering on the edge of nuclear extinction, to take the most extreme example, but surely only one of many. The insouciant acceptance and support of psychotic rulers who promote first-strike nuclear war is very common. First strike nuclear policy is United States policy.
I recently wrote an article about the dangers of the fourteen U.S. Trident submarines. These subs constantly cruise under the oceans carrying 3,360 nuclear warheads equivalent to 134,400 Hiroshima bombs. All are on first strike triggers. And of course these are supplemented by all the land and air based nukes. My point was not very complicated: now that the United States government has abrogated all nuclear weapons treaties and continues to escalate its war against Russia in Ukraine, we are closer to nuclear annihilation than ever before.
This conclusion is shared by many esteemed thinkers such as the late Daniel Ellsberg who died on June 16, 2023 and whose 2017 book The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner, makes clear that nuclear war, waged intentionally or by mistake or accident, is very possible. In the months before he died, he warned that this is now especially true with the situation in Ukraine and the U.S. provocations against China.
The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal recently addressed the UN Security Council on the danger of U.S. actions in Ukraine and asked:
Will we see another Douma deception, but this time in Zaporizhzhia?
Why are we doing this? Why are we tempting nuclear annihilation by flooding Ukraine with advanced weapons and sabotaging negotiations at every turn?
Finian Cunningham has just raised the specter of a thermonuclear catastrophe initiated by a U.S./Ukrainian false flag attack on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
So my article was in no way unusual, except for my concentration on the Trident submarines.
When, against my better judgment, I read some commentators’ responses to my piece at a few websites where my article was posted, I was taken aback when I read the following [all emphases are mine]:
- Like many other boomers, Edward J Curtin Jr is caught up in ‘nuclear terror’ … whereas on 4chan you see that a large portion of the young generation has come to accept the massive evidence that Hiroshima & Nagasaki were chemically firebombed like Tokyo, and ‘nuclear weapons’ most likely do not exist at all. The 10 alleged ‘nuclear powers’ have had reasons to hoax together, just like the global collusion on ‘covid’ & ‘vaccines’.
- So, the point is? Subs with nukes have been cruising around the world’s oceans for over 60 years, back to the time when they tried to scare us with the Cuban missile crisis. I was on a fast attack sub during the Vietnam war, friend of mine got boomer duty, which is what they call the ones that carry the missiles. They’re there for show, they aren’t going to use them. Yes, they should be banned internationally, just in case. But as with the Nuremberg trials and principles, that’s not nearly enough. We’re going to need to create our own New World Order
- This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
I vote for the bang!
- The nuke is exaggerated. Reality is that too many will survive a nuclear WWIII.
There will still be too many useless eaters and psychos left in the underground bunkers no matter how many nukes we drop. Like Chernobyl it will only develop to paradises for animals, natives and homeless on food stamps, while we the exceptionals will suffer from an underground life for 50 years without seeing natural light . A global virus and for double insurance a coupled vaxx, will be a much more effective tool to clean the filth and double shareholders profit.. - Dear Ed the sea monsters about as real as nukes.
- Another one of the “elites” hoaxes.
To hear that there are no nuclear weapons and never were; to learn that some in their embrace of nihilism hope for a nuclear holocaust; to read that nuclear weapons are never going to be used because they only exist for show – well, this at least confirmed my suspicion that many who comment on articles are either bonkers or trolls or both. Some probably have nothing better to do than inform writers how wrong they are. It frightened me. It made me wonder how many of the millions of silent ones think similarly or have come to embrace hopelessness as a way of life – the feeling that they have no power because that has been drilled into them from birth. I have long thought that cultural normality can be understood as the use of one’s freedom to create a prison, a cell in which one can convince oneself that one is safe because the authorities have established a sacred umbrella to protect one from an apocalyptic hard rain that they never think is going to fall.
The Pew Research Center recently surveyed the American public on their sixteen greatest fears. Nuclear war was not one them. It was as if nuclear weapons did not exist, as if they have been buried in the cellar of public awareness. As if Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Newman’s motto was the national motto: “What? Me worry?” No doubt more Americans are aware of the gross public spectacle of Joey Chestnut stuffing his mouth with sixty-five hot dogs in ten minutes than they are of the Biden administration’s insane escalation toward nuclear war in Ukraine. We live in Guy Debord’s “Society of the Spectacle.”
Although he was writing years ago, Ronald Laing’s words sound ironically prescient today after so many years of endless propaganda, the destruction of human experience resulting in destructive behavior, and the relentless diminishment of human beings to the status of machines:
At this moment in history, we are all caught in the hell of frenetic passivity. We find ourselves threatened by extermination that will be reciprocal, that no one wishes, that everyone fears, that may just happen to us ‘because’ no one knows how to stop it. There is one possibility of doing so if we can understand the structure of this alienation of ourselves from our experience, our experience from our deeds, our deeds from human authorship. Everyone will be carrying out orders. Where do they come from? Always from elsewhere. Is it still possible to reconstitute our destiny out of the hellish and inhuman fatality?
That is the key question now that more than fifty years have elapsed since Laing penned those words in his now classic book, The Politics of Experience (isbn.nu). He said then, which is exponentially truer today, that “machines are already becoming better at communicating with each other than human beings with each other.” Talking about deep things has become passé for so many.
If we don’t start worrying and unlove the machines, we are doomed sooner or later. Sooner is probable. Nuclear weapons are very real. They are poised and ready to fly. If we continue to live in denial of the madness of those who provoke their use while calmly promoting first-strike policies as the U.S. government does, we are worse than fools. We are suicidal.
As Daniel Ellsberg told us, “Don’t wait ‘till the bombs are actually falling.” That will be too late. There is no doubt that before a nuclear war can happen, we must go insane, normally so.
Let’s make the few protest voices in the wilderness the cries of hundreds of millions:
End nuclear weapons now before they end us.
Stop escalating the war in Ukraine now.
Make peace with Russia and China now.
“There is such a thing as being too late,” Martin Luther King, Jr. told us on April 4, 1967, one year to the day before he was assassinated in a U.S. government plot.
“We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent coannihilation.”

“Nukes don’t exist” (like “the Earth is flat”) is a BCD (Beneficial Cognitive Diversity) operation designed to “disable the purveyors of conspiracy theories” by making “conspiracy theorists” look like lunatic idiots while demoralizing smart sane ones. Cass Sunstein had the chutzpah to announce the whole program back in 2008.
To give this article a metaphor of perception and reality. Currently I am in Paris for a Lodge meeting of ‘the Pythagoras tribe ‘, on route to Rimini to get some eternal sleep . On a little sight seeing I visited some friends in THE LOUVRE . Currently the city of Naples has loaned some’ Gun Paintings’( real bang on one’s , ) to the city of Riots . You see queues of idiots lining up to see the Mouni Lisa – however 50 steps away there are via Naples , 3 Leonardo Masterpieces – ! Three – no crowds because idiots don’t know ! And ! And , each is , a better painting than ‘Lisa’ . And then , throw in a half dozen Raphael’s , who is a better painter than Leo . No queues there ! You can even nearly see the difference of a glaze and a brush , stroke ! Idiots will , never cease to amaze me . All the nukes in the US arsenal – never stopped those angry people that visited Florida last year and delivered Malaria in a vial as revenge for ‘some reason ‘. Whether a bullet kills you or Malaria ? When your dead a nuke makes no difference !
No one as mad as Harry Truman has come to power since, not anywhere advanced enough to build nuclear armaments. Perhaps the Kim dynasty will change that.
By the way, that photo looks eerily Christmassy. In a kawaii way.
He ate 65 hot dogs? Wow!
Actually the SCO has a pretty good chance of decapitating the CIA regime, if they shoot first. It’s worth a shot – think how great it would be if the beltway was a sinkhole of molten basalt and the offending military bases were leveled. It would be well worth 40 million US dead, when you consider that the other 7.96 billion, including the US public, are fed up with this shit.
Don’t worry. Be happy! Clap along!

this is supposed to scare or dissuade me, from using my nukes, that you, so greatly fear? this actually gives me great comfort, thank you for this great message of hope, i draw great inspiration from it.
to see the heirs of the billionaires, crawling out of the sewers, the chud descendants, having to deal with the real needs of life, that every other species can provide for themselves, merely by being born.
the billionaires will have long ago, been convinced that they could download their “consciousness” into metaverse cartoon characters (the emperor’s new consciousness, lol). if that’s what it takes to rid ourselves of the parasites so be it, much like the kerosene flood, buster the body crab, so feared.
anything (including nuclear war, is preferable to what our parasite overlords have in mind for us. sorry you can’t scare me any more, i refuse to duck and cover, anymore.

Don’t take it too seriously. The Swedes, for example, are taking advantage of beltway dumbfucks and their dumber satellites. They head-faked NATO entry, let the Lapps and drunken introverts of Finland charge ahead. Now the Finns have a giant laydown on their ass. When the balloon goes up they’re all set up to be a nuclear no-man’s buffer zone of death.
The hot cokehead PM that got them into this is gone and instead they got homoerotic Nazi fruits who don’t even know which hand you Sieg Heil with, much less how to fight Russians.

And the Swedes piss off Turkey every couple weeks and say, “Uhh, whelp, what can ya do? They won’t let us in NATO!”
If the (((media))) don’t see it as a problem, then it’s not a problem.
Top conspiracy guy Kevin Barrett should be more aware of the factoids on this topic … Here’s official US gov video from early 60s, a ‘nuclear explosion’ within walking distance (!), being viewed by no less than Robert F Kennedy Sr … none of these high officials concerned about fallout, radiation or whatever LOL … obvious gov fakery:

– Hiroshima & Nagasaki were just like Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, houses wood so wiped out by fire-storms, US military witnesses admitting that flag poles remained standing under ‘ground zero’, nothing ‘vapourised’
– In 1946, USA magazine Reader’s Digest, ran an article letting on that the ‘atomic bomb’ story was a hoax, enabling the Japanese to save face in their surrender
– A ‘smoking gun’ accidentally released in US records, proved that a 66-plane firebombing fleet hit the Hiroshima region at the same date and hour as the alleged ‘atomic bomb raid’
– German Jesuit John Siemes in Hiroshima as it happened, documented many witnesses seeing that fleet.

Flat Earth is more of an epistemological game. If this were to be true what else would we have to explain around it…The UN Crest or Map makes it hilariously visual.
I liked the Terry Pratchett idea of a turtle carrying four elephants carrying a disk. The Greeks came up with Atlas.
The only person who thinks the world is flat is the Jewish huckster Thomas Friedman.

“You see queues of idiots lining up to see the Mouni Lisa – however 50 steps away there are via Naples , 3 Leonardo Masterpieces – ! Three – no crowds because idiots don’t know ! ”
That has been my experience at many art museums. I call the idiots “art sheep,” wearing their little earphones and peering together at approved art. Meanwhile I stroll past and stand for as long as I wish in front of real masterpieces.
At the time of that detonation, the official policy of the US government was that there were little to no negative effects to humans from Low Dose Ionizing Radiation Exposures. The US government changed that policy 180 degrees in 2002 after all the proofs of Cancers from Downwinders and Energy Workers lawsuits, and it is now official US policy that THERE IS NO SAFE DOSE from any level of Ionizing Radiation. Check the EEOICPA Site for more on this.
Said differently, the 1960’s were the “wild west” in terms of radiation safety – i.e. there was almost none, so the US AEC was rough shod, flippant, and careless with its demonstrations of nuclear devices in ways that it would never do today. It was selling munitions to those who had influence.
2,853 Meters is around one and ¾ miles; that is roughly the “working distance” that the Davy Crockett device was designed to be used on the battlefield.
RFK probably received some radiation dosage from witnessing that test; probably more than would be considered safe today, but probably well within the guidelines thought to be safe THEN – though probably no more than a few-MR-above-background. They’d have been located “below-the-horizon” with a small knob between them and the surface at ground zero so they’d have been shielded from line-of-sight exposure from the initial blast, but would have seen the cloud rise soon after.
The “Anonymous” poster surely seems to be on a paid mission to re-write history – I wonder why?
lol, if only the nuclear bomb threat was sitting over the heads of the attendees to the Treaty of Versailles, does anyone think that WW2 would have occurred the way it did?
You see that’s the issue the Atomic Weapon put the bankers and the monarchies of the world under threat which was a first in history. Something needed to be done and guess what here are the important quotes on the subject:
“The only escape from total destruction of civilization will be a world government, or we will perish in a war of the atom.”1
—Harold Urey
“In the field of atomic energy, there must be set up a world power.”2
—Robert J. Oppenheimer
“World government has become inevitable.”3
—Arthur Compton Cantelon
“One world Government is in the making. whether we like it or not, we are moving toward a one-world government.”4
—Dr. Ralph Barton Perry of Harvard
“Either we will find a way to establish world government, or we will perish in a war of the atom.”5
—Raymond Swing to Albert Einstein
“The secret of the bomb should be committed to a world government, and the USA should immediately announce its readiness to give it to a world government.”6
—Albert Einstein
“Sovereignty must go, that means also the interests which sovereignty protects must be recognized as outmoded in character and dangerous in operation.”7
—Professor Laski of Oxford
“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is, whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”8
—James Warburg, February 17, 1950 before the U.S. Senate
“It is necessary to discover a head capable of directing it, endowed with an intelligence surpassing the most elevated human level.”9
—H.G. Wells
“Let that man be a military man or a layman, it matters not.”10
—Paul Henry Spaak, first president of the Council of Europe, planner of the European Common Market, president of the United Nations General Assembly, and one-time Secretary-General of NATO
“Strong, one-man civilian control of America’s giant military establishment is vital to the nation’s wellbeing. The concentration of authority is inevitable.”11
—Roswell Gilpatrick, Deputy Secretary of Defence
Dr. Cantelon who knew and was at all of the important meetings in the 60’s and 70’s goes on:
In San Diego, I talked with Captain Eddy. He had been with the expedition in the Marshall Islands on November 1, 1952, when America exploded her first hydrogen bomb. In a sober voice, Captain Eddy said, “No one could visualize the awfulness of that sight unless he were there in person.” Two hundred miles above the Pacific, the mighty hydrogen bomb was detonated. The blast lighted up thousands of miles of Pacific sky. At Auckland, New Zealand, 3,800 miles away from the scene of the blast, New Zealanders said the ocean showed a reflection that was blood red. “The scientists present at the scene were dreadfully shaken,” said Eddy. “They thought they had set the heavens aflame with a chain reaction of exploding atoms that would surely go around the world.” On returning from his mission, Captain Eddy asked to be transferred to another department of service and was given a position in the field of seismology, studying earthquakes back in the South Pacific.1
That there is a connection between atom bombs and earthquakes might sound humorous to some, but the facts allow little room for humor or ridicule.
On an island called Amchitka, southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, man sank a 53-inch shaft deep into the heart of the ground. On September 6, 1971, man created the largest man-made earthquake in history. The bomb he detonated in the island of Amchitka was 250 times more powerful than the one that had been dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion rocked not only the island of Amchitka; it caused the earth to tremor on the other side of the globe.
Professor Marcus Baath in Uppsala, Sweden, declared that the underground blast from Alaska caused his Richter scale to show a 7.4 earth tremor—in Sweden!1
Science and scientists ignorant tools of the Satanic!! They gamble with all of our lives because they don’t kno0w the end from the beginning. Mankind’s solutions to its own lawlessness is horrifying. Look at the words of Albert Einstein, spoken shortly after this event at Bikini Atoll:
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.1
We think and believe that science is going to solve all our problems, but the truth of the matter is that the more we learn, the more trouble we end up getting ourselves into, and the more suffering we create. Isn’t then the problem ultimately with science? Scientists don’t know the end from the beginning where their research is concerned, and they gamble with the entire planet and all of life because of it.
and to read on another blog news that the people of those atolls where the nuclear bomb was tested they had life spans of 130 years but now reduced to less than half of that because of the poison to their environment!!!
And the UN if not Israel especially needs that ‘concentration of authority’ to rule the world? one man lol who arrived 2 thousand years ago but hey he needs to be replaced by another more to their liking!
One interesting aspect is that people key on mistakes in a given “classified” narrative and then reject the whole thing. This is understandable but can lead one down a false trail. This is in the epistemological vein of “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”. As an example, people have pointed out that pictures of the first bomb test look fake as well as some later tests. They may be right, but this is not enough to go on. Since it is classified the government has announced in no uncertain terms they will lie about it but where does that leave someone with a questioning mind? People like to replace a tainted narrative with a different one. This ends up as nukes are real + this picture looks fake –> nukes are fake which is an unwarranted conclusion in light of other known facts.
I think the nukes-are-fake crowd has at least two camps who have thought about it in addition to the random conspiracy aficionados:
1) People who believe the pictures and story of the Japanese bombing are fake and therefore nukes do not exist. BTW there is a short book on the explanation of the non-nuclear bombings which I think was fairly persuasive. To me this theory suggests the bombs were not ready, but could be easily refuted by radioactive testing of tree rings.
2) I have heard of a few people who believe fast neutron criticality does not work for some technical reason. This notion attempts to explain why nuclear power plants are real but bombs are not. I never delved into this, but I think it is mistaken based on my limited understanding of nuclear physics. I know of a few vaguely sane people who also think nuclear power plants are fake; they need to get out more.
I have met a few nuclear weapons designers. I do not think they were good enough actors or liars to fake it. I have known many nuclear submariners and I believe they thought it was real!
Compared to the radiation released by Chernobyl and Fukushima a lot of nuclear weapons are relatively clean. In the short run you will be OK as long as you are a few miles away from ground zero and hopefully upwind.
This is bad news since it suggests nuclear weapons are more likely to be used than many people believe.
Good articles, thank you.
When journalists believe something it’s evidence against that thing.
Journalists universally believe nuclear war is extremely dangerous. The more they believe, the less likely it is true. Very strong evidence against.
Ergo, it must be not dangerous at all. Less dangerous than small arms, probably.
Most likely of the eleventy billion alleged doomsday weapons allegedly in existence, about twelve would actually go boom at this point. The rest have silently broken down.
But when journalists are wrong, usually they’re flagrantly wrong. It’s not just wet streets cause rain, it’s like, burning streets cause rain. They have the causation backwards at least twice. The reasons to not worry about nuclear war are almost certainly myriad.
For one, I’m not the one with the finger on the button. The fuck you writing at me for? Are you clinically insane?
Sorry, rhetorical question.
– Gesundheit.
But seriously … I hate to admit it but our hydrologists add a secret extension
to their nightly prayers – that nuclear testing be resumed; you see, there is no tracer
just like tritium – no retention effects because it is water, temperature and height
effects as with oxygen, can be measured in a garage, and the short half-life adds another
dimension of information; beautiful 😎
Big difference between hot isotopes enriched for power — it’s just like coal except more $$$.
Subs are power plants. Nuclear power plants can’t explode. Unless the water boils hot and ruptures the shell — like any other boiler. I speak from experience having been a stationary engineer.
The “Death Object” book linked here explains this as the prime issue. The book essentially argues that going from hot power to hot explosion is a bridge too far. Because the “born secret” clause in the nukes that go back to the three nations that developed them at the start, the secret must stay secret. The three nations — Canada, UK, US — are essentially the key here. All have laws that put you in jail and keep you there for spilling state secrets. Nuke weapons are Highly Classified.
Can these secrets be a fraud? Admiral Nimitz thought so, and Major Alexander P De Seversky seconded Nimitz by being the first allied soldier in Hiroshima and made a report about the anemic damage the so-called superbomb caused. There are phone poles within 50 yards of Ground Zero in De Seversky’s pictures, and he doubted the death count was even remotely accurate. Also, Hiroshima was a chemical warfare center and the Japanese survivors thought that’s what got them. It took a lot of work to convince them they were nuked. Stalin needed a big bribe too. Stalin then said HE had nukes, possibly following the lying allies lead.
I was in the navy and the bombs were always considered a joke. Stanley Kubrick even said in a 1966 interview (in the run up to 2001) that people he talked to found nukes to be a crock. “It’s an abstract threat,” Kubrick noted, “and people are rarely impressed or frightened over abstractions.”
De Seversky, Nimitz, and Stanley Kubrick were all bright guys. So was Robert Oppenheimer when he said “The Atom Bomb is shit.” I mean, he would know.
