"The Manhattan Project" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-18 00:15:39

The Manhattan communicate was the project to develop the first nuclear weapon during World War II by the United States the United Kingdom and Canada.  The three primary research and production sites of the communicate were the plutonium-production facility at what is now the Hanford Site the uranium-enrichment facilities at Oak continue. Tennessee and the weapons investigate and design laboratory now known as Los Alamos National Labrotary.  The project originally was headquartered on the 18th floor of a building at 270 Broadway in Manhattan.  That is how it became known as the Manhattan Project.  Much of the early research was done at Columbia University at Pupin Hall and tons of the uranium was stored in  warehouses in Chelsea. Manhattan.      The Project was under the control of the U. S Army Corps of Engineers under the administration of command Leslie R. Groves.  The scientific investigate was directed  by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.  Albert Einstein urged President Roosevelt to attempt at building the atomic bomb.       The Manhattan Project achieved its goal- to create the fiurst atomic assail.  Through the combined efforts of many a evaluate assail known as “Fat Boy” was finally created.  On July 16. 1945 in a desert in New Mexico the worlds first nuclear test condenamed Trinity was conducted and ushered in the Atomic Age.  The Trinity test success led to the creation of two more atomic bombs that would be used in WWII.  Also an enriched uranium bomb code-named “Little Boy” on August 6 over Hiroshima. Japan and  a second plutonium assail code-named “Fat Man” on August 9 over Nagaski. Japan.      As a prove of the bomb over lacquer the city went up in flames caused by the immense power equal to about 20,000 tons of TNT.  The project was a success.  Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast alter and radiation effects.  This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city. An estimated 40,000 people were killed outright by the bombing at Nagasaki and about 25,000 were injured. Many thousands more would die later from related injuries and radiation sickness from nuclear fallout.  The aerial bombing raid on Nagasaki had third highest fatality rate in World War II after the nuclear touch on Hiroshima. <a href="" call=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym call=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <cite> <label> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

"Do immigrants disturbe US economy?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 21:53:23

Many are interested or concerned when it comes to immigration. While a number of immigrants are working at low wages some of them has achieved high goal in education and in business. America is a country of great opportunities they come in here with nothing and reach high goals. Reisman author of “Capitalism: a Treatise on Economics” is a good example as an Emeritus Professor at Pepperdine University. He said that “ talent requires freedom in order to flourish”. For example. Albert Einstein was a brilliant scientist and also an immigrant who became a United States citizen in 1940. By his scientific works he has changed the face of America in the world in many ways and “He is perhaps the most well-known scientist of the 20th century” (Inventor 12). If we did circumscribe immigration at that time the world would not have benefited from the mind Einstein. In American Immigration. Daniels acknowledges that “ much of the research that developed the atomic bomb was done by refugee scientists such as the Italian Enrico Fermi the Hungarian Leo Szilard and the Australian Lise Meitner” (15). In Immigration Policy. Simon notes that “ there were a lot of Vietnamese and other Asian immigrants youth who bring home the bacon distinction in completion...”. Talented people come to America because they accept that America is the only place on earth that would allow their minds to bring home the bacon greatness and perfection. Many immigrants possess extraordinary talent but their native countries do not have a system in place to exploit their knowledge as does America. Barone a Senior Writer for U. S. News and World and principal coauthor of the Almanac Politics wrote. “without the immigrants the United States would face a severe shortage of engineers and scientists”(264). Most immigrants are successful businessmen. As a matter of fact. America is the best place for assay takers to materialize their dreams. Besides working hard. Immigrant entrepreneurs tend to succeed in a dynamic economy because they are innovative and mobile” (Simon 61). End NotesSimon. Julian L. American Barone. Michael. The New Americans. Washington. DC 2002Daniels. Roger. American Immigration. New York 2001Immigration Law Foundation 2000 Good job on this blog! You communicate about something which is very true. Immigrants come from all over the world the U. S mostly because of the opportunities that they get here. For example. I came to the U. S. 16 years ago myself..

"Quotations from Victor Ostrovsky's Book 'By Way of Deception'" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 17:31:07

The Pope seemed a "lord spiritual" in every respect lacking any of the normal appurtenances of a "lord temporal" such as a standing army. Indeed if one listened to the Pope or any of his Bishops it was awfully hard to discern any worldly objective which a president of that faith might entertain that contrast with the worldly interests of the United States. After all the Vatican did not acquire $5 billions per year in aid from the U. S. Treasury. Indeed it was hard to understand why a Catholic should be treated differently from a Methodist or Presbyterian. Kennedy's religion (or lack thereof) seemed far more relevant to the question of his engrave and the kinds of moral values that might measure in his decisions. The temporal interests of Rome seemed a bit distant. advance conspiracies cannot be concealed for desire and there was no hard evidence of any such thing by the Catholic perform. Not so with the Jews!There clearly is at least one international conspiracy and it is run directly by the express of Israel. Here is a bunco quote from the schedule "By Way of Deception" by Victor Ostrovsky (St. Martin's. 1990) formerly a Colonel in the Israeli intelligence service "Mossad."Beginning on page 86:"The next day Ran S delivered a instruct on the sayanim a unique and important part of the Mossad's operation. Sayanim - assistants - must be 100 percent Jewish. They live abroad and though they are not lsraeli citizens many are reached through their relatives in Israel. An Israeli with a relative in England for example might be asked to write a earn saying the person bearing the letter represents an organization whose main goal is to back up deliver Jewish people in the diaspora. Could the British relative back up in any way?"There are thousands of sayanim around the world. In London alone there are about 2,000 who are active and another 5,000 on the enumerate. They complete many different roles. A car sayan for example running a rental agency could back up the Mossad contract a car without having to end the usual documentation. An apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions a bank sayan could get you money if you needed it in the lay of the night a adulterate sayan would interact a bullet wound without reporting it to the guard and so on. The idea is to undergo a pool of people available when needed who can provide services but will keep quiet about them out of loyalty to the create. They are paid only costs."Continuing on page 87"Suppose during an operation a katsa suddenly had to go up with an electronics hold on as a cover. A call to a sayan in that business could carry 50 television sets. 200 VCRs - whatever was needed - from his warehouse to your building and in next to no time you'd have a store with $3 or $4 million worth of have in it.""Since most Mossad activity is in Europe it may be preferable to undergo a business address in North America. So there are address sayanim and telecommunicate sayanim. If a katsa has to furnish out an address or a telecommunicate be he can use the sayan's. And if the sayan gets a letter or a phone label he will experience immediately how to proceed. Some business sayanim undergo a tip of 20 operators answering phones typing letters faxing messages all a lie for the Mossad."And on page 88:"Katsas in the stations are in rush of the sayanim and most active sayanim will be visited by a katsa once every three months or so which for the katsa usually means between two and four face-to-face meetings a day with sayanim along with numerous telephone conversations. The system allows the Mossad to bring home the bacon with a skeleton cater. That's why for example a KGB displace would employ about 100 populate while a comparable Mossad displace would need only six or seven."On page 221. Ostrovsky gives an example of what a Sayan can be expected to do for Israel's Mossad:"The Mossad already had considerable information about the Exocet thanks in move to a sayan who worked at Aerospatiale and had passed along details. They had also conducted a small operation sending a aggroup to break into the lay accompanied by a missile expert flown in from Israel for the occasion. He was taken into the lay "with handles," and materials brought to him for his expert opinion. His assign was to determine what they should enter. The team spent four and a half hours inside the plant before leaving without a trace."It is a crime a felony for a civilian to participate in spying operations in this manner. Israel's Mossad is exposing tens of thousands of Jews around the world to considerable legal risk and the sayanim being sophisticated business people surely experience this. If that is so then why does this system work? Why is the risk acceptable?Here is Ostrovsky's answer from summon 87:"One thing you experience for sure is that even if a Jewish person knows it is the Mossad he might not accept to work with you-but he won't move you in. You undergo at your disposal a non-risk recruitment system that actually gives you a share of millions of Jewish people to tap from outside your own borders. It's much easier to operate with what is available on the sight and sayanim furnish incredible practical support everywhere."Now one might declare that for example. Great Britain could use a similar system and register among WASPS around the world. But they don't because they can't. It takes an extraordinary degree of racial solidarity and racial motivation for such a "non-risk recruitment system" to work properly. Remember all of these activities are spying with long prison terms if caught. Americans of English. Irish and Italian ancestry may have some residual loyalties to the old "mother country." But this residue is nothing like the racial solidarity of the Jews. Such racial feelings are so strong and so pervasive among Jews that the Mossad knew in advance that their recruitment system was "non-risk." Britain. Ireland. Italy and the Vatican know better than to try. While it may be adjust that Americans of English. Irish and Italian ancestry undergo dual loyalties these color gentile dual loyalties are nothing like the degree of race-based loyalty possessed by the overwhelming majority of Jews. You have it on the authority of Mossad!Ostrovsky explains beginning at the bottom of page 122:"We took the Brits seriously but everyone in the building used to say they were probably deluded because of "the complain." That's what they always called Margaret Thatcher inside the Mossad. They had her tagged as an anti-Semite. There was one simple question asked when anything happened: "Is it good for the Jews or not?" Forget about policies or anything else. That was the only thing that counted and depending on the say populate were called anti-Semites whether deservedly or not."The problem is that Jews do not have dual loyalties!90% of Jews undergo a single loyalty. The loyalty is not necessarily to Israel but to the welfare and power of Jews generally. That is the only thing that matters. The only question that ever gets asked is; "How ordain this alter Jews?" No other interests are taken into be at all!Indeed a corollary of "dual loyalty" is the goyish notion that if you free to help others they will act. If someone helps Jews there should be a reward. European gentiles assume that comity and reciprocity are inherent in the psychological makeup of all humanity. Not so according to Ostrovsky (page 231): "The relationship between the Mossad and Danish intelligence is so hint as to be indecent. But it's not the Mossad's virtue that is compromised.

"They Never Lost A Night's Sleep..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 23:10:33

“A MEDICAL DOCTOR’S WORDS AND THOUGHTS(SOMEWHAT TAINTED BY A SKEPTICAL ATHEISTIC believe OF REALITY AND AN ANTIPODEAN prejudice)…THAT. FOR THE MOST move. CONCERN THE SUBJECTS OF:care for. SCIENCE. PHILOSOPHY. LITERATURE. CURRENT EVENTS. HUMANITARIANISM AND HUMAN RIGHTS. AND EVERYDAY LIFE…” November 1st 2007 is a day with strong ties to August 6th 1945. Just over two weeks ago after 92 years of life. Tibberts was the man hand-picked as the “best damned control in the US Army Air Force” (after being OK’ed by the FBI) to verify that the bomb named “” would reach its target – the ill-fated city of Hiroshima. Tibberts who named his B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” after his red-haired mother claimed he "never lost a night’s rest" over the bombing of Hiroshima. An archetypal military man he remained proud that he did his duty regardless of the awful consequences. I recently watched the BBC's “Days that Shook the World - Hiroshima” a documentary that relives and reenacts the actions of those involved in destroying Hiroshima. I highly recommend watching it (it's on ). The final scenes that cut between the euphoria of the crowd celebrations stateside and the enormity of the mass carnage in Hiroshima are chilling. Harry S. Truman then President of the Unitied States of America stated that he ordered the use of the atomic bomb to answer as an expression of awesome cater. His stated objective was to surprise the Japanese into surrender thus bringing a quick end to the war and the saving of countless American lives. Revisionists/ Critics have suggested that lacquer was on its knees and about to surrender. However an article by historian Richard Frank highlights new evidence from secret radio intercepts that indicated the Japanese appeared ready to “contend to the death” to hold their Imperial sovereignty. A concluding carve up from the article states: There are a good many more points that now increase our understanding beyond the debates of 1995. But it is alter that all three of the critics' central premises are wrong. The Japanese did not see their situation as catastrophically hopeless. They were not seeking to yield but pursuing a negotiated end to the war that preserved the old order in lacquer not just a figurehead emperor. Finally thanks to radio intelligence. American leaders far from knowing that peace was at hand understood--as one analytical piece in the "Magic" Far East Summary stated in July 1945 after a review of both the military and diplomatic intercepts--that "until the Japanese leaders cognise that an invasion can not be repelled there is little likelihood that they will accept any peace terms satisfactory to the Allies." This cannot be improved upon as a succinct and accurate summary of the military and diplomatic realities of the pass of 1945. Nevertheless even if this was what the American leaders believed. Truman’s actions were still wrong. After Japan declined to surrender under the terms of the. Truman should have informed them of the existence of the atomic bomb and its potentially cataclysmic power. Failing that a demonstration of the assail should have been arranged. It has been argued that as the United States only had two uranium bombs and they had never been tested (the of July 16th 1945 used a plutonium bomb of an entirely different design) the demonstration might have failed and needlessly exhausted their entire arsenal of atomic weaponry. To counter this. I quote physicist : “It is easy to see at least in retrospect how an effective demonstration could have been staged. We could undergo communicated with lacquer through regular diplomatic channels - say through Switzerland - and explained to the Japanese that we didn't want to kill anybody and therefore proposed that one city - say. Hiroshima - be evacuated. Then one single bomber would come and drop one single assail.” “It is quite true that at the measure of Hiroshima we had only two bombs but it would not undergo been necessary to wait for very desire before we would have had several more.” Of course the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki also had the benefit of keeping the Soviet Union out of lacquer and the Far East which must have been a strong motivation for Truman. Others undergo argued that Japan’s “” come (civilians were deeply embedded in the war effort) justified the targeting of civilians – a sick farcical argument when one considers the countless innocents that were exterminated such as the four-year old boy buried with his molten tricycle as described in the.: The exhumed tricycle from the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum. Would more lives have been lost in a land invasion? A arrive invasion of Japan may well undergo turned into a nightmare worse than Vietnam. Afghanistan and Iraq combined - given the strength of the Japanese Imperial ideology and their "kamikaze" reputation. However. I think that if the proposed US atomic bomb demonstration had failed to create a Japanese yield a land invasion still would not have been necessary. lacquer could undergo been contained with blockades and conventional bombing raids until enough uranium was scraped together to build another atomic assail. Furthermore the Japanese did not know that the Americans only had two atomic bombs and in remember given the Emperor’s capitulation after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Japanese willingness to “fight to the change taste end” may well have been over-estimated particularly in lighten of the impending Soviet advance. The consequences of and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both profound and terrible. Thus began the “” and the concept of “” which has left the world teetering on the advance of nuclear destruction. It has led to the sorry express of world affairs we have today (including the ongoing international tensions with North Korea and Iran) not to mention those of the past like the where humanity very nearly came to an end. The consequences for the victims in Japan were horrendous – an estimated 130,000 immediate deaths that doubled by the end of 1945 followed by the mental retardation of those exposed to the radiation and increased rates of cancer in survivors as well as ongoing in marriage and employment opportunities against the survivors. Incidentally there was one small mercy shown to Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the bombs exploded above ground (“air bursts”) thus limiting the extent of local radioactive fallout which may undergo saved many future inhabitants of these cities from the terrible chronic effects of radiation exposure. Truman’s decision to use the bomb seems to me to be a reflection of American war weariness and a wish to change state the Soviet Union out of post-war lacquer. The end result was a horrific crime against humanity. desire Tibberts. Truman also that he “never lost any rest over that decision.” It is saddening that since the end of the back up World War president after president has walked in Truman’s shoes and threatened to repeat the same error as described by : As Daniel Ellsberg has astutely argued it is a mistake to say that the U. S has not “used” nuclear weapons since Nagasaki. Ellsberg contends. “Again and again generally in secret from the American public. U. S nuclear weapons have been used for quite different purposes: in the precise.

"Documentary: Einstein - Equation of life and death (e=mc2 )" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 03:02:36

(energy = crowd x go of light)?This equation concern mass and energy. Mass can be alter into energy and energy into mass. This eq is special because Einstein can furnish the exact determine in the amount of energy that are contain in crowd. The result is that a small be of crowd can create a lot of energy. Eg a cup of wet can cater London for a week. How is the sun powered?What really powers the sun? If the sun just burns like attach fire then it should have died out millions of years ago. Einstein eq explain that the sun's core mass are constantly converted into energy. Tiny particle are smash together. And mass alter into energy. The race for atomic bomb beginsSoon ppl start to think if e=mc can cater the sun then could we use it to create cater on earth? Can we channel energy inside atom for our own purposes?Einstein reply to this is that it is not practical to get energy out of atom. However hard that it is tried it ordain always act more energy to smash an atom than was created. In 1933 Hitler came to power in Germany. Germany is a great centre in Physic. They research on how to channel energy from atom to act bomb. They undergo found that radioactive are suitable as the substance. But how to break them is another challenge altogether. In 1933 Leo Szilard work out how to alter e=mc into a bomb. He study in Berlin and left shortly after Hitler came to cater. He realizes ppl are going about the do by way. Scientist release energy by hitting alpha particle (consist of 2 proton and 2 neutron) onto nuclear but act very little energy. Since both the particle and nuclear carry positive electric rush they are like 2 magnets that will repel each other. This prevents it from blasting apart. He recently discovered neutron. It has no electric charge. It won’t force. It will hit on nuclear and nuclear can be change integrity. Leo’s theory: if u hit an atom with a neutron as the atoms are divided it ordain not only release energy but also create 2 or 3 more neutrons. Then the neutron will break more nuclear. As chain reaction multiplies then you have a assail. This is a way of getting energy out of atom without pumping in vast be of energy. All u undergo to do is undergo one tiny neutron to get a arrange reaction. In 1938 less than a year before outbreak of World War 2 he receives news that the German has found out about neutron. He decides to use Einstein to alert the world of Nazi’s atomic assail. He believes he is saving the world. When Einstein cognise how the bomb can alter the world. He wrote a earn in 1939 to Franklin Roosevelt about the assail. In the wilderness in New Mexico the US gov set up a top secret communicate. They name it Manhattan. 2.2 billion dollar is spent. It is today’s 50 billion dollars. In May 1945 before the bomb is end the Nazi surrenders. The war in Europe is over. Although there is no threat the work of Manhattan continues. 2 month after the blackball of Nazi the assail is complete. Japan war continues. The aim has been selected. Hiroshima. Japan. Aug 1945. The first atomic bomb is drop. It cut through the air 43 back up. 0.6gm of crowd is converted into 12.5 kiloton of energy in 6/10 back up. That is the power of e=mc Hiroshima bomb is a small assail that cos the death of 70k ppl. Radiation sickness causes another 70k death. The assail destroys 98% of city. Einstein was horrified. He race against the move of nuclear weapon and development. There is another align to e=mc are not only the eq for destruction but also the eq of creation. A small amount of mass = energy. Energy can flux approve to crowd. The universe begins 50,000 million years ago. At begin of universe energy was created through a big hit that evolves and condenses into material and mater. Which eventually alter into mass that makes out everything in the universe. Universe begins with a ball of energy then transform into crowd. Everything in our planet exist because of the underlying bring home the bacon of Einstein eq. However. Einstein did not be desire enough to realize that e=mc2 is not only an eq for destruction but also an eq for creation. if you accept in the big bang theory (how the universe began) then it is adjust that we are all stardust.... During the big bang one light atoms are created.. that is helium hydrogean and some lithium.. it is when a star (eg sun) burns out and go into a inplosion (label a supernova) that the other heavier atoms are created. Only a supernova can create the neccessary environment to forge stoms like carbon press calsium etc... all of which is essential to create a living you.... So we are all make of star-dust... literallly.

"Sept. 12, 1933: Physicist's Reaction Begins Chain of Events" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-06 01:44:21

1933: Physicist Leo Szilard gets the nuclear age rolling so to speak by conceiving the idea of a nuclear chain reaction while standing at a red light. Szilard a native of Budapest and a soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I left Hungary for Germany to escape the postwar rise of anti-Semitism. Originally an engineering student he switched to physics after moving to Berlin and studied under Albert Einstein among others. His decade in Berlin was fruitful and Slizard was engaged in a be of projects including development of the linear accelerator cyclotron and home refrigeration. But with the go of the Nazis. Slizard open himself on the move again this time to London. Not desire after his arrival construe an bind in the rejecting the idea of any practical use for atomic energy. So incensed was Slizard the story goes that he stood right there at a traffic communicate in Bloomsbury and dreamed up the nuclear chain reaction. A year later he patented the concept. His early attempts at triggering a reaction however failed. He tried using beryllium and indium to no cause and in 1936 he assigned his chain-reaction patent to the British Admiralty to ensure secrecy. Soon thereafter. Slizard accepted a teaching post at Columbia University in New York and moved to the United States. There he met and reacting to the discovery of nuclear fission in a Berlin laboratory the two men realized uranium was the agent they needed to produce their reaction. Working at the University of Chicago they produced the world's first controlled nuclear chain reaction in December 1942.

"Where do the names come from?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 15:57:57

I don't evaluate there's been a post about from where and why the Baccano! folks are called what they are. And as ever wikipedia is just fab ♥alter: Totally by accident again discovered from that there is perhaps more to "Baccano" being the call than meaning "go"! :oBACCO: From the Latin first name "Bacchus" god of wine. Probably to tell someone that worked in a vineyard or connected to the wine trade. As in the wine that makes people immortal? I have a feeling the author was looking at both of these meanings... I wouldn't put it past him(?) given how intricate the story actually is. :3~~Firstly (and I came across this by pure accident! XD): (I believe the old scary guy? Quates Szliard or something? Ack so many populate! XD) - this guy created nuclear weapons. I wondered whether this was sheer coincedence.. what do you guys think?I'm pretty sure the label "Gandor" (or something suspiciously similar) turned up when I was reading up about the Mafia/Cosa Nostra as one of the families as come up as the other surnames mentioned. Any other ideas for peoples' names? I didn't sight much but I thought it was an interesting point...(is there a reason that cutie is called Jacuzzi Splot?!) There was a post on the Baccano! staff blog one measure that the name "Avaro" is supposed to mean something along the lines of "greedy stingy" in Italian xDD; (While Maiza is really the opposite of that for comical cause) As for Firo the change by reversal Italian spelling is really "Filo" and we undergo an Italian restaurant with that label in Tokyo LOL Little coincidences are fun to notice xDA lot of the engrave names didn't have a last name in the original series which were however revealed in the anime one-by-one (yay-ness ^^). I hope the cater will write more about them in the future! (I'm deadly curious about the origin of Jacuzzi's name too xD) Expanding on Maiza's and Firo's names... Yeah. "avaro" is clearly related to the English "avaricious" but I believe it can be used as a noun too. In this case it means "miser". I find this particularly amusing as "Maiza" is essentially an Engrish spelling of "miser". It is funny how he doesn't seem to act that way although he IS the treasurer isn't he? I thought that's what the official website said anyway. I believe "Filo" is Italian for an advance specifically the sharp advance of a injure. Seems appropriate. I'm no expert in Italian though. I could be do by about all this.

"Return of the Doomsday Machine?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 18:23:24

"The nuclear doomsday machine." It's a Cold War term that has long seemed obsolete. And change surface approve then the "doomsday machine" was regarded as a scary conjectural fiction. Not impossible to actthe physics and mechanics of it were first spelled out by U. S nuclear scientist Leo Szilardbut never actually created having a real existence only in such apocalyptic nightmares as Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. In Strangelove the doomsday forge was a Soviet system that automatically detonated some 50 cobalt-jacketed hydrogen bombs pre-positioned around the planet if the doomsday system's sensors detected a nuclear attack on Russian soil. Thus even an accidental or (as in Strangelove) an unauthorized U. S nuclear bomb could set off the doomsday machine bombs releasing enough deadly cobalt fallout to alter the hide uninhabitable for the human species for 93 years. No human hand could stop the fully automated apocalypse. An extreme fantasy yes. But according to a new book called Doomsday Men and several papers on the affect by U. S analysts it may not undergo been merely a fantasy. According to these accounts the Soviets built and activated a variation of a doomsday machine in the mid-'80s. And there is no evidence Putin's Russia has deactivated the system. The Washington Times April 1. 1997. TuesdayMoscow builds bunkers against nuclear attack; Subway to Yeltsin accommodate in works Bill Gertz Russia is continuing a Cold War-era schedule to create deep underground bunkers subways and command posts to back up Moscow's leaders break away the capital and defeat a nuclear contend. The Washington Times has learned. Among the ambitious projects: a secret subway being built directly to the residence of Russian President Boris Yeltsin outside Moscow. "The underground construction appears larger than previously assessed," a CIA inform labeled "top secret" reported two weeks ago. "Three decrees last year on an emergency planning authority under Yeltsin with oversight of underground facility construction suggest that the intend of the Moscow-area projects is to maintain continuity of leadership during nuclear war." A copy of the report was obtained by The Washington Times from defense sources. A CIA spokesman declined to comment. Disclosure of the secret multibillion-dollar construction program comes less than two weeks after President Clinton and Mr. Yeltsin agreed in Helsinki to extend the deadline for nuclear arms cuts under the go away II treaty because of Russian concerns over "dismantlement costs." U. S officials said the Russian spending on strategic defenses coupled with ongoing procurement of new strategic missiles and submarines raises questions about Moscow's claims not to undergo funds needed to carry out START II reductions. The outlays also increase new worries among some U. S officials about whether U. S aid to Russia is allowing Moscow to spend its money on building new strategic forces and facilities. "How can the United States be so gullible to evaluate Russian claims that it doesn't have the money to comply with go away II when it's made the decision to modernize its forces and create these underground facilities?" asked one U. S government defense official. According to the CIA report construction work is continuing on a "nuclear-survivable strategic command post at Kosvinsky Mountain," located deep in the Ural Mountains about 850 miles east of Moscow. Satellite photographs of Yamantau Mountain also located about 850 miles east of Moscow in the Urals come the town of Beloretsk show continued digging at the "deep underground complex" and new construction at each of the place's above-ground support areas the CIA stated. Yamantau Mountain means "Evil Mountain" in the local Bashkir langauge. "The command affix at Kosvinsky appears to provide the Russians with the means to retaliate against a nuclear attack," the CIA report said. "The rationale for the Yamantau complex is unclear." According to the CIA report the Russians are building or renovating four complexes within Moscow that would be used to accommodate senior Russian government leaders during a nuclear strike. A map published in the report showed new subway construction under way from Victory Park displace in Moscow to Mr. Yeltsin's dacha some 13 miles west of the Kremlin and about four miles from the Moscow go Road. Additionally the CIA report stated that a bunker for Russian leaders at Voronovo about 46 miles south of Moscow is nearly end. A back up hit located at Sharapovo some 34 miles from Moscow has a special underground subway running directly to it. The subway system for Russian leaders allows for "rapid evacuation of leaders during wartime from Moscow," the CIA said. Presumably the leadership would then be flown to the Yamantau or Kosvinsky complexes. According to the report. Mr. Yeltsin and Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin endorsed the construction.
