Thermonuclear missile launch near Los Angeles is final sign of World War III on the precipice… US, China & Russia all escalating covert attacks in run up to global war

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. – Matthew 24:6-14

“A mysterious bright light in the sky has sent Californians into panic,” reports the BBC. “Videos posted online show a bright flare rising high, before a wide, bright blue flash emerges in a cone shape. Many videos continue to track the light for several minutes.”

Last night, Californians immediately leapt to social media to propose their theories of the phenomenon, ranging from a nuclear missile attack to meteors.

“Law agencies & news media in San Diego were flooded w/calls about 6 p.m. from people reporting everything from a flare to a comet to a nuclear bomb in the western sky,” reports the San Diego Union Tribune.

Just a day earlier, the FAA had issued flight restrictions for the Los Angeles International Airport, denying aircraft access to 1 of the most frequent approach paths for international & domestic travel.

The official explanation is a lie
The “official” explanation of this event — & remember that “official” explanations are almost always cover stories — is that the U.S. Navy launched a test missile just bc they “routinely” test missiles.

“Media in California confirmed that the light came from an unarmed Trident missile fired from the USS Kentucky navy submarine,” reports the BBC.

While they call the missile “unarmed,” they fail to mention that the Trident missile normally carries a thermonuclear warhead. There’s also no way for the media to know whether this missile was really unarmed or not, as the sole source on that question is the U.S. Navy itself. Apparently the media thinks the public is so incredibly stupid that they’ll believe the U.S. Navy has nowhere else to launch a test missile other than right next to Los Angeles. Somehow we’re supposed to believe the entire Pacific Ocean won’t work for such a test launch, so they have to launch it adjacent to the airport & thereby inconvenience commercial aviation traffic for an entire week.

Obviously, the official cover story is pure bunk. So what’s the real story behind this? It all has to do w/China & the covert war that’s already underway between China, the US & Russia.

China’s military submarines are a huge threat to U.S. national security
To get up to speed on what’s really happening, read this report from the Congressional Research Service (PDF) found at: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL33153.pdf. Authored by Ronald O’Rourke, Specialist in Naval Affairs, & just released on Sep. 21, 2015, the report is entitled, “China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities.”

The report states:

China is building a modern & regionally powerful navy w/a limited but growing capability for conducting operations beyond China’s near-seas region. Observers of Chinese & U.S. military forces view China’s improving naval capabilities as posing a potential challenge in the Western Pacific to the U.S. Navy’s ability to achieve & maintain control of blue-water ocean areas in wartime — the 1st such challenge the U.S. Navy has faced since the end of the Cold War. China’s naval modernization effort encompasses a broad array of platform & weapon acquisition programs, including anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), submarines, surface ships, aircraft & supporting C4ISR (command & control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance) systems.

The most important section of this report, in my assessment, is this description of China’s ship-killing ballistic missiles:

China is fielding an ASBM, referred to as the DF-21D, that is a theater-range ballistic missile equipped w/a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV) designed to hit moving ships at sea. DOD states that China continues to field an ASBM based on a variant of the CSS-5 (DF-21) MRBM that it began deploying in 2010. This missile provides the PLA the capability to attack aircraft carriers in the western Pacific. The CSS-5 Mod 5 has a range exceeding 1,500 km [about 810 nm] & is armed w/a maneuverable warhead.

China, in other words, has weapons capable of destroying U.S. aircraft carriers, destroyers & other ships. The 1,500 km range is key bc it allows a very wide operational range. Just recently in August, the Chinese & Russians held their largest naval joint exercise in history as a way to “counter U.S. influence in Asia.” As reported by Collapse.news:

The Russian & Chinese navies are set to hold their largest joint exercises ever, featuring scores of warships, 100s of troops & an amphibious landing, in what appears to be a deepening of ties meant to counter a rising U.S. military presence in Asia.

In September, Chinese warships were spotted operating near the coast of Alaska. This was reported across the mainstream media, including in the Wall Street Journal in an article entitled, “5 Chinese Navy Ships Are Operating in Bering Sea off Alaska.” Fox News also covered the same story: “5 Chinese warships spotted off Alaska coast during President Obama’s visit.” In response to that territorial provocation, the U.S. Navy sent the USS Lassen destroyer to w/in 12 nautical miles of China’s newly-constructed military bases in the Spratly Islands. China’s communist government openly condemned the act as a provocation of war. From the Straits Times:

China claims most of the South China Sea & on Oct 9 its Foreign Ministry warned that Beijing would “never allow any country to violate China’s territorial waters & airspace in the Spratly Islands, in the name of protecting freedom of navigation & overflight.”

Secret space weapon attacks on China’s industrial infrastructure
This is all on top of the Pentagon’s secret space weapon attacks on China’s industrial infrastructure. As I wrote on August 17 of this year, Natural News was informed by mainland Chinese dissidents that they believe the string of mysterious industrial explosions such as the massive Tianjin explosion was caused by kinetic strikes from orbital platform weapons operated by the United States. China then retaliated by covertly destroying a U.S. weapons depot in Tokyo, using old-school sabotage techniques. 2 additional industrial explosions in China soon followed.

Taiwan surrenders to China w/insane “1 China” admission by President Ma
China’s war of aggression is also in high gear on the geopolitical side, w/China pressuring Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou to publicly state yesterday that Taiwan is now part of China! A massive cultural backlash in Taiwan is now surging, as most of the country’s citizens do not want to be part of communist China. Taiwan’s DPP party is rapidly rising to prominence on the platform of Taiwan as a sovereign nation, but China remains in an aggressive military stance, always threatening Taiwan w/an armed invasion if Taiwan attempts to “secede” from China. (Taiwan’s GMT party, which is a “pro-China” party, has been plagued by an endless stream of scandals & corruption.)

From Channel News Asia: “Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou emphasised the island must continue to uphold the 1992 Consensus w/China’s Communist Party in order to promote cross-strait relations & development, as he marked the 22nd anniversary of the historic talks between Taipei & Beijing in Singapore.”

Taiwan is a critical strategic island for U.S. influence over the Pacific naval theater of operations. Taiwan’s airports & military basis provide key strategic locations for staging U.S. aircraft & even bombers if conflict breaks out w/China. As you ponder all this, keep in mind that Taiwan’s media giants have all been infiltrated & taken over by communist China. The Taiwan media is now China’s state-run media. Only small, independent websites can be trusted to report the truth.

The Trident missile launch near Los Angeles was a warning shot against China in a last-ditch effort to prevent all-out war
The upshot of all this is that the U.S. & China have been engaged in a covert war for quite some time, & that covert war has escalated month by month, even as the official state-run news organizations of both nations have denied any war is happening at all.

Last night’s test launch of the Trident missile over Orange County was staged near a high population area for a tactical reason: To have as many witnesses (& videos) as possible, sending a very visible warning message to China that says, “We can destroy you if you don’t back off.”

The Trident missile, built by Lockheed Martin, is a thermonuclear missile system (Fleet Ballistic Missile) w/a range of at least 4,000 nautical miles. See the Trident missile page on the U.S. Navy website. Just 1 Trident missile launched from somewhere in the Pacific Ocean could devastate China w/a nuclear strike on Beijing.

The U.S. Navy’s “showcasing” of the Trident missile near Los Angeles is a $31 million billboard that tells China, “Don’t f–k w/us.” Nobody in the mainstream media is report this; probably bc w/a few exceptions, they are mostly clueless, brain-dead propagandists who know nothing about international geopolitics & the real state of conflict in our world. Also, they are ordered what to write by the U.S. government regime in exactly the same way China’s “journalists” are ordered what to write by the Chinese regime.

Right now, the United States & China are in an undeclared state of war. China stands ready to strike the USA w/nuclear warheads or high altitude EMP weapons that would destroy the U.S. power grid & cause 90% casualties across the unprepared population. Legendary American journalist Ted Koppel has even written a book about this entitled Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath.

China & Russia preparing massive 1st strike against America
Many people believe that China & Russia are working together to prepare for a massive 1st strike against the United States that would cripple its defenses & economy. Following that 1st strike, a land invasion would commence using Russian troops. Supporting this theory, Russian submarines have been spotted near undersea internet cables in an obvious effort to document their whereabouts so that the cables can be instantly severed, unleashing a devastating blow to the U.S. economy, Wall Street & even military communications.

“Russian submarines & spy ships are aggressively operating near the vital undersea cables that carry almost all global Internet communications, raising concerns among some American military & intelligence officials that the Russians might be planning to attack those lines in times of conflict,” reports WND.com. “In times of tension or conflict, the ultimate Russian hack on the United States could involve severing the fiber-optic cables at some of their hardest-to-access locations to halt the instant communications on which the West’s governments, economies & citizens have grown dependent.”

At the same time a new Russian “drone sub” has been created that can strike U.S. coastal cities & harbors w/nuclear weapons.

Writing on NationalSecurity.news, Jon Dougherty states, “According to officials, the developmental unmanned underwater vehicle, or UUV, when it is deployed, will be outfitted w/megaton-class nuclear warheads that can destroy key ports used by U.S. nuclear-armed & powered submarines like Kings Bay, Georgia, & Puget Sound in Washington state.”

The ultimate pre-emptive strike on America: EMP attack, cyber attack, currency wars & bandwidth blackouts
If you put the pieces of the puzzle together, what’s really shaping up here is a massive, multi-layered pre-emptive strike against America, an empire seen by the rest of the world as an insane bully that meddles w/everything on the international stage. This 1st strike, combining the forces & expertise of both China & Russia, may consist of:
• High-altitude EMP detonation over North America, destroying regional power grids.
• A devastating currency war initiated by China announcing its own gold-backed currency while dumping U.S. Treasury debt on the open market.
• A Russian-led severing of undersea fiber optic cables.
• Russian-launched nuclear missiles targeting U.S. coastal cities.
• China-led assault on U.S. Navy warships using anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs).
• A cyber warfare attack on key U.S. infrastructure, including water delivery systems, nuclear power plants & the power grid.

As all this is going on, the Obama administration — a treasonous regime of criminals who have seized control of the U.S. government in an effort to destroy America from w/in — has been firing all the top military commanders who know how to survive such an assault. Instead of America’s military focusing on how to win wars, troops are now subjected to sensitivity training & the politically correct push for female troops on the front lines.

This is not fiction. Even the U.S. White House is now openly preparing for a massive EMP attack launched by China. Dave Hodges also reports in this article about World War III:

Congress has now heard testimony that the United States is not ready for World War III while Russia is chomping at the bit to “get it on”. Further Congress has learned that Obama has been once again been badly outmaneuvered by Putin, the master chess player… the Chinese & the Russians are going to kick America’s rear end in the upcoming war. Very disturbingly, there is a growing awareness among Congress that the United States cannot win World War III. There was only discussion in these congressional meetings as to whether, or not, the U.S. could prevail in World War III, not win the conflict.

America’s Flight 17: time the US blew up a passenger plane & tried to cover it up

Article By: Fred Kaplan

Fury & frustration still mount over the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, & justly so. But before accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of war crimes or dismissing the entire episode as a tragic fluke, it’s worth looking back at another doomed passenger plane—Iran Air Flight 655—shot down on July 3, 1988, not by some scruffy rebel on contested soil but by a U.S. Navy captain in command of an Aegis-class cruiser called the Vincennes. A quarter-century later, the Vincennes is almost completely forgotten, but it still ranks as the world’s 7th deadliest air disaster (Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 is the 6th) & 1 of the Pentagon’s most inexcusable disgraces.

In several ways, the 2 calamities are similar. The Malaysian Boeing 777 wandered into a messy civil war in eastern Ukraine, near the Russian border; the Iranian Airbus A300 wandered into a naval skirmish — 1 of many clashes in the ongoing “Tanker War” (another forgotten conflict) — in the Strait of Hormuz. The likely pro-Russia rebel thought that he was shooting at a Ukrainian military-transport plane; the U.S. Navy captain, Will Rogers III, mistook the Airbus for an F-14 fighter jet. The Russian SA-11 surface-to-air missile that downed the Malaysian plane killed 298 passengers, including 80 children; the American SM-2 surface-to-air missile that downed the Iranian plane killed 290 passengers, including 66 children. After last week’s incident, Russian officials told various lies to cover up their culpability & blamed the Ukrainian government; after the 1988 incident, American officials told various lies & blamed the Iranian pilot. Not until 8 years later did the U.S. government compensate the victims’ families, & even then expressed “deep regret,” not an apology.

On Aug. 19, 1988, nearly 7 weeks after the event, the Pentagon issued a 53-page report on the incident. Though the text didn’t say so directly, it found that nearly all the initial details about the shoot-down—the “facts” that senior officials cited to put all the blame on Iran Air’s pilot—were wrong. And yet the August report still concluded that the captain & all the other Vincennes officers acted properly. For example, on July 3, at the 1st Pentagon press conference on the incident, Adm. William Crowe, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the Iranian plane had been flying at 9,000 feet & descending at a “high speed” of 450 knots, “headed directly” for the Vincennes. In fact, however, the Aug. 19 report—written by Rear Adm. William Fogarty of U.S. Central Command—concluded (from computer tapes found inside the ship’s combat information center) that the plane was “ascending through 12,000 feet” at the much slower speed of 380 knots. “At no time” did the Airbus “actually descend in altitude,” the report stated.

There were other equally disturbing discrepancies between Crowe’s July 3 press conference (which struck me as suspicious even at the time) & Fogarty’s Aug. 19 report. Crowe had said the plane was flying “outside the prescribed commercial air route”; the report said it was flying “w/in the established air route.” Crowe had said the plane’s transponder was “squawking” a code over the “Mode 2” military channel; the report stated that it was squawking over the “Mode 3” civilian channel. Crowe had said the Vincennes issued several warnings; the report confirmed this, but noted, “Due to heavy pilot workload during take-off & climb-out, & the requirement to communicate with” 2 air traffic control centers, the pilot “probably was not monitoring” the international air-distress channel.

Adm. George B. Crist, head of U.S. Central Command, issued a “non-punitive letter of censure” to the ship’s anti–air warfare officer, but Secretary of Defense Carlucci withdrew the letter. Not only that, but two years later, Capt. Rogers was issued the Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service” as the Vincennes’ commander “from April 1987 to May 1989.”
