The smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the US military

The smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the US military was called Davy Crockett.

Al-Gama`a al-Islamiyyah

Al-Gama`a al-Islamiyyah emerged during the 1970's as a phenomenon rather than an organized group, mainly in Egyptian jails and later on in some of the Egyptian universities. Following the release of most of the Islamic prisoners from the Egyptian jails by president Sadat after 1971, several groups of militants began to organize themselves. These militant groups or cells took names such as the Islamic Liberation Party, al-Takfir wal-Hijra (Excommunication and Emigration), Al-Najun min al-nar (Saved from the Inferno), and Jihad (Holy War), as well as many others, including al-Gama'a al-Islamiyyah (The Islamic Group). Each cell operated separately and was self-contained, a fact that allowed the organization to be structured, but at the same time loosely organized.

In February 1998, bin Laden announced the formation of an umbrella organization called “The Islamic World Front for the struggle against the Jews and the Crusaders” (Al-Jabhah al-Islamiyyah al-`Alamiyyah li-Qital al-Yahud wal-Salibiyyin) Among the members of this organization are the Egyptian al-Gama’a al-Islamiyyah and the Egyptian al-Jihad. Both of these groups were have been active in terrorism over the past decade.  The founder members of The World Islamic Front include Usama bin Laden, Dr. Ayman al- Zawahiri, leader of the Egyptian al-Jihad and Rifa'i Ahmad Taha, a leader of the Islamic Group. The Islamic Group is responsible for the live dismemberment and murder of 64 tourists in Luxor, Egypt in November 1997. The details of the physical violence perpetuated upon those innocent civilians was not broadcast over the media due to the difficulty of the western moral concepts towards this type of brutality, but I believe this is a mistake. People need to know the extent of the depravity of those monsters, or else they will not be able to fully understand the necessity to put a stop to this madness, no matter the cost.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri

Usama bin Laden's senior deputy, Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian radical who is now the real strategist behind al Qai'da, is a prime suspect in President George W. Bush's global war on terrorism.. Al- Jihad members testified during the 1999 trial in Egypt that he had entered the USA in 1995 using the alias Dr Abdel Moez and while there raised funds used to finance attacks on the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, and elsewhere. According to London’s Guardian newspaper, the US House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee on immigration was told by a counter terrorism expert in January 2000 that al-Zawahiri was one of several Islamic militants who had been granted green card status by the US Immigration Service. Al-Zawahiri, born on June 19, 1951, was indicted along with Bin Laden by a federal grand jury in New York in 1999 for the US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar-es Salaam in August 1998 and has been named as a prime suspect in the 11 September suicide attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington.

Note: al-Zawahiri's visit was extended over a period of several years, undoubtedly with numerous exits and entries. Typical of al Qai'da's  methods, he would have entered under several layers of covers, one of them apparently being fundraising. His real purpose for being in the US is outlined on this site, and covered in depth in 'The Little Scroll'. I assure you this man would not go to the trouble of entering the USA for a mere $2000. Al Qai'da has collected over $100M annually from Islamic Charities alone, not including their funds raised through heroin and cocaine trafficking, in excess of $350 million per year. They don't need money that bad.

For an in-depth synopsis of the New Era Operation refer to the Introduction to 'Beyond Coincidence: al Qaeda's War Against America.'.

This photograph shows an addition to the Iranian Naval Fleet as it was being towed through the central Mediterranean sea during the week of December 23rd, 1996. This Sub was the third Kilo class submarine the Iranians have purchased from Moscow.

Iran used one of their Kilo Class submarines to smuggle over 1000 lbs of PU239 into the US in 1997.

An early element of this operation began with the purchase of a large piece of river-front property along the Willamette river in what used to be a pre-colonial Russian community called New Era., Oregon. I grew up in that area, but I had never associated that long-ago abandoned community with Hitler's infamous 1936 World Olympics speech when he said, " I hereby declare a New Era with the beginning of these Olympic Games."

There was an old cedar shake mill on this land, replete with a large mill pond used to park and sort large rafts of cedar logs brought down the Willamette River. After purchasing this land, they then proceeded to fill in that small lake, surreptitiously bringing in two ocean-going barges during the night, sinking them, and covering them up. A man I knew only as Gary Tour hinted that they had received a grant from the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to pay for the costs. Their next step was to begin the long-term task of turning these barges into submarine bays, complete with two levels of living quarters, enough room to house a small village. While I was living there they brought in over a dozen truckloads of furniture which mysteriously disappeared. They had constructed, and concealed with exceptional skill, a freight elevator capable of raising and lowering  furniture for their living quarters, as well as vehicles such as small pickup trucks.

Al Qai'da had purchased a tug company, with three large ocean-going tugboats, and included with their purchase were contracts for dredging the Willamette and Columbia rivers, and hauling in limestone and other products from Canada. When all of their interrelated tasks and their usual plethora of backup plans were in place an Iranian Submarine carrying a several thousand pounds of Plutonium 239 began its long journey to the US. They had also constructed a mobile sub bay also constructed from an ocean barge, and this was used to conceal the submarine during transit into US waters. After entering US territory they proceeded up the Columbia River, where they likely paused at Pier # 4, the International Port of Portland, Oregon. Osama bin Laden is known to own several shipping companies. Being at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Willamette Rivers,  they then had only to navigate up the Willamette River from Portland 20 miles to New Era, where they had built their huge submarine bay.

I have knowledge of the arrival of this submarine due to the fact that my family and I lived in a mobile home which sat above the submarine bay, and although we were not at the time aware of the cause of the roaring in the water, (defective muffler on the diesel sub) nor of the reason for the intense shaking of the mobile home, (the gates of the underwater sub bay being raised) we were there when the submarine arrived. Those readers who have faced an extreme life-threatening situation  before will have an idea of what this was like.

Although the senior members of the US Government and the intelligence community understandably declined to publicize these events, the highly trained foreign agents described herein came within a heartbeat of succeeding in their plan to cause the destruction of Washington DC and New York City, the political and financial hubs of the US; and I suspect as well CENTCOM and NORAD. CENTCOM is the acronym for Central Command, responsible for the protection of US interests in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Southwest Asia. The Commander in Chief NORAD (CINCNORAD) is responsible to the governments of both Canada and the United States for the aerospace defense of North America.

The principals in this operation included the upper level members of al Qai'da, composed of: Usama bin Laden, Djamel Beghal, until his recent arrest in U.A.E., director of European terrorist operations; Soubhi Mahmoud Fyad, a high ranking member of Hezbollah, the terrorist group created in 1984 by the Iranian military intelligence service  that analysts consider to be a front for that agency; Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's military commander, founder and head of al-Jihad, the Egyptian terrorist group responsible for the assassination of Anwar Sadat and for the live dismemberment and subsequent murder of 65 mostly Swedish tourists at Luxor, Egypt in 1995;  Damien Hachey, the former prophet, power and brains behind al Qai'da, and Abu Zubaydah, al Qai'da's coordinator of International Operations..

The 'Charter of Hamas', the philosophical basis for Islamic fundamentalism and their terrorist activities, allows for the 'existence' of religions other than fundamentalist Islam, 'but only if under the umbrella of (their warped interpretation) of Islam. I came to know the top ranking members of al-Qai'da, Hezbollah, Hamas, al Jihad and al-Gaama al-Islamiya organizations more thoroughly than I would have preferred, and I assure you that although the supreme prophet of the operation is now dead, they came extremely close to succeeding, and they will most certainly try again.

If you are concerned about your loved ones, your family, and our country, the United States of America, become aware of the inherent power cloaked within the unbridled hatred these Islamic fundamentalist zealots hold towards the free and enlightened culture of Western society. This power is lethally directed against you and I, and towards our society; not only through increasingly frequent large-scale 'terrorist acts' against American institutions abroad; it now also directed with lethal force against innocent Americans on our own soil; men, women and children alike, and all undertaken with absolute celebratory delight.
