The news the other day was that the “Doomsday Clock” is still at 3 minutes to midnight……
Scientists behind a “Doomsday Clock” that measures the likelihood of a global cataclysm say the world is still under grave threat.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced on Tuesday that the minute hand on the metaphorical clock remained at three minutes to midnight.
The scientists behind the bulletin adjusted the clock from five minutes to midnight to three minutes to midnight last year, the closest to midnight it has been since 1983.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons. The clock was created two years later.
The decision to move or leave the clock alone is made by the bulletin’s science and security board, which includes physicists and environmental scientists from around the world, in consultation with the bulletin’s Board of Sponsors, which includes at least 16 Nobel laureates.
Every person that is well read knows of this prediction….but this time it is a bit ironic……it seems that Obama worried about the situations around the world has decided to upgrade the nuke weapons of the US……
The most sobering of these voices belongs to William Perry, who during the 1970s and ’80s directed the development of air-launched nuclear cruise missiles and later became secretary of defense. Now Perry is campaigning against Obama’s plan to develop and buy 1,000 new missiles with adjustable nuclear capacity, 100 new long-range bombers, and a new fleet of nuclear-armed submarines. He warns that if the plan becomes real, disputes among nations will be “more likely to erupt in nuclear conflict than during the Cold War.”

Is Obama and his cronies just reacting to what the Russians are planning? I wrote about this recently…..read for yourself……

Are the Russians trying to do to the US what Reagan did to the USSR? That is massive spending on “national security”…..then ask where will the cuts be to fund this dash to the past?
