 Major media across the country have turned a deaf ear on an upcoming bomb test at the Nevada Test Site.
This
isn't an ordinary scientific exercise. The test, named Divine Strake,
is an explosion of 700 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil set to
detonate in the Nevada desert.
It has been described in several documents as part of the Defense
Department's run-up to the bunker-buster bomb, which is a tool the
military would like to have in its arsenal to go after hardened,
underground targets such as nuclear sites in North Korea, Iran or
anywhere else the United States doesn't like the idea of deployed
nukes.
And, yes, bunker-busters are expected to be nuclear devices.
The
test will take place in a part of the United States that was soaked
with radioactive particles during the nuclear tests that took place
from 1945 until 1992. Some tests were underground, some were at
altitude. All spread poison that caused disease through the 48
contiguous United States and into Canada, killing more than 15,000
people and injuring many times more.
No matter how many times the subject comes up, however, the national media ignores it.
