And I will kill everyone, and I will leave...

In a file I showed photos of the two project leaders of a new hydrogen bomb that are being actively developed in the United States. Martz started working at Los Alamos as an intern student at 18 years old. He is now the chief "weapon-designer." The enthusiasm of youth put at the service of...".
Of what exactly...? Of... democracy? Who would still believe in this fable?
His opponent in the bomb race is Mr. Goodwin, below. If Marcel Aymé were still alive, he would write a play equivalent to "La tête des autres" (I think he is the author but I am not sure). Can you imagine Goodwin's face, falsely modest, saying to his head after having kissed the youngest child
*- You know, dear, it's done. It's us who have the contract for THE bomb.
- Oh my love, how proud I am of you. And it's only justice. You've worked so hard on this project, spending all your weekends on it!*

You may remember that it was due to a letter written by Einstein, at the request of the Hungarian Slizard, that Roosevelt decided to launch the Manhattan project. But when the Allies entered Nazi Germany and began to search for traces of nuclear activity, trying to detect radioactive traces in rivers or elsewhere: nothing. Heisenberg and Von Wiesacker had taken care of it, misleading Hitler by overestimating the critical mass, setting it at ten tons, making it untransportable in the form of a bomb. When Slizard learned the news, he said "then, there's no need to try to design this monstrosity" and, going to Los Alamos, he met Oppenheimer to convince him to stop the project. His response was:
*- I can't do that. There are so many people who have worked hard on this project, neglecting their family lives. To tell them now "guys, we stop everything," no, morally, I can't do that... *
It reminds the words of a concentration camp official complaining to his wife about the infernal pace imposed on them.
*- In Berlin, they are going crazy. With the best will in the world, you can't burn more Jews per day than we are currently doing, unless you have better equipment and more personnel. My men are overworked. We have to be reasonable...
- Calm down, dear, calm down. Think about your blood pressure.*
The article in the Los Angeles Times mentions "this fever" that has gripped all researchers, who finally have a new concept to work on.
A reader, Loïc Sage, sent me two addresses that will allow you to see video documents describing the construction and the test, in October 1961, of the "Tsar Bomba," the strongest hydrogen bomb ever tested on Earth: 50 megatons. It had in fact been "damped" and its uranium-238 casing had been replaced with lead. Otherwise, it would have functioned at full power, according to its FFF (fission-fusion-fission) design, reaching 100 megatons and showering the entire Earth with radioactive debris (uranium-238 turns into plutonium-239, which fissions immediately).
The full report: seven minutes

Excerpts, taken by the British channel Discovery, showing the destruction of such a bomb, which would flatten London and affect all of southern England.

Watch these images and meditate on them. It may be our future at a not so distant date. Currently, the great strategists of the planet are having a great time. I also received a brochure supervised by Wolfowitz, dated 2000, referring to the "unipolar" strategy that America should aim for. It includes diagrams showing how the credits for the defense industry "have drastically decreased since World War II and since the Korean and Vietnam Wars." The brochure refers to a strategy aimed at establishing democracy everywhere in the world and maintaining it by force if necessary.
Surrealistic...
You have heard about the American plans to "bring Iran to its knees." Readers who claim to be informed add that the power in Israel has passed into the hands of the American military-industrial lobby. The operation in Lebanon would have, among other things, aimed to test the effectiveness of new anti-bunker weapons, the targets being the Hezbollah caches. This was to complete a feasibility study for an operation against Iran. It may not be impossible.
Anyway, imagine living in Israel with neighbors now having medium-range missiles? Haifa has been hit. Injured, dead. Before, the "Fedayin" attacked Jewish settlements from the heights of the Golan plateau, using mortars with a range of just a few kilometers. Now it's a different story. Who will create this buffer zone between Lebanon and Israel? Who "will do the job," as Americans know so well to say. Their solution: "smart bombs," or even "mini-nukes," in any case "zero-death" operations.
Talk about it.
While the world hesitates, Hezbollah is refilling its missile stockpiles, thanks to Iran's help, and so on....
Anyway, Hezbollah, not stupid, installs its firing units next to civilian populated areas. Therefore, collateral damage, outbursts of hatred. In the United States, theorists of the monstrous and the absurd are considering revising the laws of war, considering that they cannot apply to "rogue countries," as colonialists claimed at the beginning of this century for all countries. This big pig Dick Cheney sees his bank account grow every day, thanks to under-the-table deals and overcharging for services provided by private companies in Iraq. Yes, war, a great business, has even been privatized. Through past military operations, people fought "to reconquer Alsace-Lorraine," to seize lands, wealth, or to "civilize savages." The term "war profiteer" was coined during World War I. It's not an empty word. Today it's the festival of fools and every day young men die, women and children are killed.
The Americans, always one war behind, continue to believe that the strategy of terror will eventually pay off (it depends on who). In Vietnam, as well-informed as ever, they implemented a carpet bombing using B-52s, taking into account "the experience from the Korean War." But General Giap, the Vietnamese strategist, had already anticipated this, and the North Vietnam had already completely buried itself, at dozens of meters deep.
So the Americans bombed...
