Russia Issues Nuclear Attack Warning Over US Takedown Of Satellite
Sorcha Faal / What Does It Mean
(February 12, 2009) — Reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that a ‘shocked’ Russian leadership is struggling for an ‘appropriate’ response to the United States deliberate destruction of one of Russia’s most advanced surveillance satellites tasked with monitoring North Korea nuclear missile activity.
According to these reports, the US Air Force Space Command ordered a ‘sudden’ drop to the orbit of one of their Iridium communication satellites causing it to collide with, and destroy, the Russian Cosmos surveillance satellite operating over eastern Siberia.
Russian Military reports had previously stated that the Pentagon’s defacto purchase of the nearly bankrupt Iridium satellite network nearly a decade ago was intended exactly for this purpose of using these 66 satellites as ‘space weapons’ against Russian and Chinese surveillance satellites monitoring their Global activities.
Russian Military Analysts are further stating in these reports that the US takedown of their Far Eastern surveillance satellite was due to the American Military’s space buildup over North Korea, and which we can read about as reported by Britain’s Times Online News Service:
“The United States military has launched an intensive spying operation over North Korea, amid reports that the isolated totalitarian state may be about to test fire short range missiles close to its disputed sea border with South Korea.
A US military spokesman confirmed that unspecified monitoring “assets” – probably including spy satellites and high altitude spy planes – have been moved into position amid reports of imminent missile launches, after unusual movements by shipping in the area.
South Korean officials confirmed the sudden disappearance of Chinese fishing boats from an area off the north-west coast of the Korean peninsula, possibly because of a shipping warning in advance of missile firing exercises.”
Russian Space Analysts state that the United States is preparing to test their Space Based Missile Defense System against the expected North Korean launch of nuclear capable missiles toward the Sea of Japan and which the Americans are said ‘determined’ not to let either Russia or China to know the full capabilities of.
Top US Military Officers involved in their vast Space Based Weapons Systems are also reported to be ‘enraged’ after Vice President Biden announced at this past weeks Munich Security Conference that the United States may be willing to curtail its present aggressive stance, and as we can read as reported by the International Herald News Service:
“The United States will pursue a missile defense plan that has angered the Kremlin, Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. said over the weekend, but he also left open the possibility of compromise on the issue and struck a more conciliatory tone than the Bush administration on relations between the countries.
“It is time to press the reset button and to revisit the many areas where we can and should be working together with Russia,” Biden said in a speech Saturday at a security conference here attended by global leaders and diplomats.”
Immediately after the US takedown of their satellite, Russia issued a ‘stern’ warning to the Americans, and as we can read as reported by Russia’s RIA Novosti News Service:
“Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in service with the Russian Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) could be launched within a minute if Russia’s security is threatened, the SMF commander has said.
“Over 6,000 servicemen are on 24/7 combat duty, and at least 96% of all missile systems are ready for deployment within several dozen seconds. It is the highest readiness level among the components of the Russian nuclear triad,” Col. Gen. Nikolai Solovtsov said in an interview published on Wednesday by the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
Russian Foreign Ministry Officials, however, say that it is ‘very unlikely’ that the United States is about to change its plunge towards brutal fascist rule as it continues its plunge into the economic abyss it is dragging the entire World into also.
Reports from the US are further confirming this as in just the past week alone, President Obama has put into his administration former President Bush’s top cyber-security czar Melissa Hathaway; his legal team has copied Bush’s ‘State Secrets’ trick to cover up torture and renditions; gone against his own intelligence agencies by stating that Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb; has ‘reassured’ Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari that US Military Forces will not be removed from Iraq; and perhaps worst of all, has continued the Bush policy of giving Trillions of American taxpayer money to the richest and most corrupt elite members of their society while giving to the ordinary American people a ‘tax break’ that gives them an additional $13 a week as they continue to smother under an avalanche of unpaid bills, record unemployment, horrific costs for healthcare, and virtually no hope for the future.
Though Prime Minister Putin has warned these Americans that they “should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”, it sadly appears that George Orwell’s prediction of what these people would become under their fascist rulers is, indeed, coming true…
“A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.”
To the future these American peoples should be preparing for, Orwell further warned them…
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.”

Russia Can Launch ICBMs at Minute’s Notice — Missile Forces Chief
RIA Novosti
MOSCOW (February 11, 2009) — Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in service with the Russian Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) could be launched within a minute if Russia’s security is threatened, the SMF commander has said.
“Over 6,000 servicemen are on 24/7 combat duty, and at least 96% of all missile systems are ready for deployment within several dozen seconds. It is the highest readiness level among the components of the Russian nuclear triad,” Col. Gen. Nikolai Solovtsov said in an interview published on Wednesday by the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
At present, six types of silo-based and mobile ICBM systems of the fourth and the fifth generation, including the heavy Voyevoda (SS-18 Satan), capable of carrying 10 warheads, and the Topol-M (Stalin) systems, are on combat duty with the SMF.
According to open sources, the total arsenal of Russia’s SMF comprises 538 ICBMs, including 306 SS-25 Topol (Sickle) missiles and 56 SS-27 Topol-M missiles.
“The fifth regiment at the Tatishchevo Missile Division, which is armed with silo-based Topol-M complexes, was fully staffed in 2008, and there are now 50 silo-based Topol-M systems on combat duty,” the general said.
The first two Topol-M mobile missile battalions, equipped with six road-mobile systems, have already been put on combat duty with the 54th Strategic Missile Division near the town of Teikovo, about 150 miles (240 km) northeast of Moscow.
The deployment will continue in 2009 and the division will be up to full strength by 2010, Solovtsov said.
The Topol-M missile, with a range of about 7,000 miles (11,000 km), is said to be immune to any current and future U.S. missile defenses. It is capable of making evasive maneuvers to avoid a kill using terminal phase interceptors, and carries targeting countermeasures and decoys.
It is also shielded against radiation, electromagnetic pulses and nuclear blasts, and is designed to survive a hit from any known form of laser technology.
Solovtsov also said that in 2009 the SMF would start bringing into service systems equipped with new-generation (RS-24) intercontinental ballistic missiles, bearing multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warheads.
“Making this missile system operational will help bolster the SMF’s combat capabilities to overpower missile defense systems, thus strengthening the nuclear deterrence potential of the Russian nuclear triad,” Solovtsov said.
