    what Obama will do is simply leave the money in the bank, drawing interest, until he leaves the Oval Office, and everybody forgets about it. At that time, he’ll press a button. Byron York says there’s some buzz going around the net over the question of what Obama has done with the $1.4 million he won as part of the Nobel Peace Prize. Well before Obama accepted the award, the White House announced he would give the money to charity. Yet it’s been two months since he went to Oslo, and there’s no word of him giving it away. Some…

    Here is video of Tom Tancredo talking with Alan Colmes and responding to critics of his comments at the Tea Party convention, where he suggested a “civic literacy test.” (Video)Tancredo said, “to suggest that a civic literacy test is in itself a racist concept, well I think that’s a racist idea, because are you assuming that the only people that would flunk this kind of a test would be minorities? There’s no racial component to it, stupidity runs across color lines.” Tancredo said he never thought about the “racial implications” of his statement, because “race is not an issue in…

    King George III was the King of Great Britain during the time of the American Revolutionary War. The tyrannies that King George III perpetrated over the American colonies are what ultimately led to The Declaration of Independence, the American Revolutionary War, and the formation of The United States of America. In The Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson listed the tyrannies exercised by King George III over the American colonies. We are now faced with an administration whose actions are very similar to those tyrannies listed by Thomas Jefferson. I have made up a list of the similarities between the actions…

Establishment attempts to marginalize and politicize grassroots freedom movements

Do you think the federal government is too big? Do you believe states have relinquished too much authority to Washington? Do you think the people should re-assert their constitutional rights in the face of diminishing liberties? You must be with that radical fringe group “The Tenthers” according to CNN.

“A movement has been growing over the past two years of urging states to exert their rights under the 10th Amendment.” CNN’s Ed Hornick [2] writes.

    Colleagues of Senator Lindsay Graham have leaked that he and the White House are negotiating over where and how to conduct the 9/11 trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-conspirators. In additional, President Barack Obama will apparently take a personal role in the negotiations and may overrule Attorney General Eric Holder’s decisions to this point. We need a statute, a ‘Rule of War Act’, with no special date, sunset provisions, or naming it after some personage or group. It would be the civilian authority providing for the common defense, while informed by the governed. First, the entire negotiation…

    There is, I think, an amazing political fact right now that is hiding in plain sight and is rich with implications. It was there in President Obama’s Jan. 25, pre-State of the Union interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, who was pressing him about his political predicaments. “I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” he said. “And I—and I believe that.” Now this is the sort of thing presidents say, and often believe they believe, but at the end of the day they all want two terms. Except that Mr. Obama shows every sign of…

    This morning at the National Day of Prayer breakfast, our illustrious “Teleprompter in Chief” revealed, once again, his complete unfamiliarity with our military community. Anyone with a reasonable education through the 6th grade knows the correct pronunciation of the basic word “corps” is “core,” and therefore the word “corpsman” is pronounced “coreman.” The Marine Corps is pronounced Marine Core. Yet our president, who touts his education at both Columbia and Harvard, in describing a US Navy corpsman during his speech this morning, pronounced the word “corpse-man” three separate times. It was posted on You Tube, until it was yanked. Certainly…

    Has the Tea Party Movement been hijacked? Originally very much a grassroots uprising against high taxes, out-of-control federal spending, and incumbents not affiliated with any political party, it drew in disaffected Republicans, many of whom had supported Ron Paul for the Republican nomination, many former Republicans who may not have supported Dr. Paul but never considered George W. Bush the genuine article, some Constitution Party members, a few Libertarians, and other Independents. Many credit Ron Paul and his supporters for having started the TPM back in late 2007.

    Debra Medina has been presenting a solid free market/live and let live campaign for the Republican nomination for governor of Texas. She is now well into double digits in the polls. She may not win the Republican Primary (this time), but she has provided a great litmus test as to who is for real as far as loving liberty and who is a fraud. On the national level we can now identify two more people who clearly are infiltrators of the live and let live philosophy, and are attempting to take control of the freedom movement to keep it safely…

    One of the marks of a truly lousy leader is publicly placing blame on their subordinates. In most cases the subordinate is being blamed unfairly, and even when the staff is at fault, publicly shifting the blame reflects an unwillingness to shoulder any responsibility. President Obama has this nasty habit of placing the blame solidly on the lap of his subordinates. Then again, one would expect nothing less from someone who during the campaign, threw his Grandma and his spiritual mentor under the bus. Many Commentators criticize the President’s interactions with Congress, they don’t understand why some of his most…

    No, it is not 1860 again. But with all the talk of the 10th Amendment, nullification and interposition, states rights and secession — following Gov. Rick Perry’s misstatement that Texas, on entering the Union in 1845, reserved in its constitution a right to secede — one might think so. Chalk up another one for those Tea Party activists who exploded in cheers when Sister Sarah brought up the dread word in endorsing Rick Perry in the primary. Looking back in American history, however, these ideas, these sentiments, decried as insane inside the Beltway, were once as American as “The Midnight…

The Ahuazotepec, Mexico meteorite impact was so massive it broke windows in homes many kilometers from the epicenter and people reported buildings swaying and mass confusion.

Medina didn’t have a chance. Yet here she is today still tilting at windmills and facing down Goliaths. Now a new and powerful foe has come along to oppose Medina in the form of nationally known conservative talk show host Glenn Beck.

For months, the California lawmaker has been pushing Obama hard in private while praising him in public. But now she’s being more open in her criticism, in part because she feels the White House was wrong — in the wake of the Democrats’ loss in Massachusetts — to push the Senate health care…

Illustrating once again that the prison planet being built around us far outstrips anything Aldous Huxley or George Orwell ever imagined, a Wired News report details how police forces worldwide are preparing to unveil drone aircraft that can not only conduct surveillance of protesters, but also zap them into submission with non-lethal weapons.

As part of their ongoing mission to “protect and serve” the new world order, cops across the world are getting access to military drones which allow them to “carry out surveillance on everyone from protesters and antisocial motorists to fly-tippers,” reports Wired News [2].

The report details how the future of policing will resemble something approaching a combination of They Live and The Running Man, with unmanned drones replacing police helicopters whizzing around everywhere torturing and knocking out anyone who misbehaves.

Hayek, an Austrian economist living in Britain, wrote “The Road to Serfdom” in 1944 as a warning that central economic planning would extinguish freedom. The book was a hit.

    Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the “Scarecrow Bandits” that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves. FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists, and that those phones belonged to men named Tony Hewitt and Corey Duffey. A jury eventually…

Joel Leyden in Haiti with Google News, Twitter, YouTube – but no Facebook.

Jerusalem —- February 11, 2010…… Upon returning to Israel from an humanitarian mission with Israel Flying Aid in Haiti I have been asked several times – how was it? At first, I usually state that the horror of human suffering in Haiti goes beyond articulation. What I do not mention is how many lives could have been lost as a result of relying upon Facebook to communicate with other humanitarian, governmental and media organizations.

I have been on the Internet since co-creating the first commercial Website in Israel in 1995. The first Website for the Israel Defense Forces, the Office of the Israel Prime Minister and the first online news organization – Israel News Agency. In this time I have reported through the Israel News Agency and Google News the good, the bad and the Islamic terrorism for which Israel has suffered.

I have also reported on one Website which I see to be nothing more and nothing less than evil – Wikipedia. Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that “anyone can edit”, had the honor of hurting more people through slander and libel then any other medium.

Now comes Facebook…

    More than 200 years ago a new idea about the rights of individuals and the rights of government began as a tax protest in Boston Harbor. “No taxation without representation” was the rallying cry that led to the new concept that all government power and authority should derive from the consent of those governed. Is a second American tax revolt now needed to restore that noble but increasingly tattered idea?

Yesterday he claimed to have done just that, making Iran “a nuclear state.” Earlier, Tehran boasted of making advances in radar-evading drone aircraft. Its ambassador to Moscow said that Russia promised imminent delivery of S-300 air-defense systems that could preclude Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear program. And to intimidate protesters, the regime disrupted communications networks, made widespread arrests, and executed dissidents. Antiregime demonstrations yesterday were met with force.

Medina’s absurd comments to Beck about U.S. government involvement in 9/11 included this gem:

“I don’t have all of the evidence there, Glenn, so I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard, there are some very good arguments and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that.”

What is Behind the Collapse of Civilization?
Sultan Knish ^ | 2/10/2010 | Sultan Knish

Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 11:54:12 AM by qam1

What if the sympathy for terrorism and the drive toward socialism, the falling birth rates and cultural bankruptcy in civilized countries, the economic decay and decline of the family all had a common cause? What if that common cause lay behind the multitude of ways that we can see civilization collapsing around us. Following that cause will require a brief journey, not into the realm of geopolitics or global economics, but into the human spirit.

They say that the child is father to the man. But what becomes of the man when the child never grows up? That is the unfortunate question that civilization as we know it, is confronted by. That is the question it will have to answer if it wants to survive.

The journey from child to man occurs in three stages. ADULATION. REBELLION. INTEGRATION. The child adulates the parent. Then as the adolescent is forced to begin transitioning into the adult role, he responds with rebellion. When he takes on into his adult role, integration occurs.

Generally speaking, this cycle occurs individually within families, but it also occurs on a generational level, as a generational rebellion gives way to its integration into the larger cycle of a nation, a group and their history. And just as the rebellion of the adolescent helps him discover his talents and leads to his integration, a generational rebellion helps define a generation’s ability to join with and contribute to their country.

What happens however when this cycle is aborted at the Rebellion stage, is a perpetual adolescence or a case of arrested development, in which there is a constant rebellion driven by a compulsion to see the world in childish ways in order to maintain the constants of childhood……

Incremental Steps to Dictatorship
Crossroads To ^ | February 10, 2010 | Teresa Morris

Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 11:39:33 AM by dvan

History shows us that as free nations become complacent, they become vulnerable to manipulation. Most dictatorships rise gradually — a step at a time. Smooth talking politicians make each incremental step seem reasonable, because the masses are blind to the tides of change. The wisdom of Wendell Phillips fades away: “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

Austria illustrates the power of gradualism. In 1933, it was a free nation. In 1934, its government began to centralize its power and welcome the influence of Nazi sympathizers. By 1938, it had become a Nazi dictatorship .

The downward slide began with one crisis after another. A third of the people were out of work, inflation rose to 25%, and political turmoil caused civil unrest. People longed for a leader to rescue them. Adolf Hitler campaigned in Austria, promising to solve their problems if they were annexed to Germany. A persuasive speaker, he gave them hope and won their hearts. The Austrian people voted him in.[1]

Why? How could the Austrians be so blind? The answer is simple: they faced hard times, so they chose to believe Hitler’s promises. They didn’t see him as we do — brutal, arrogant, narcissistic and ruthlessly ambitious. That image came later, when it was too late to escape his grasp. In the beginning, Hitler appeared as a caring, charismatic, captivating visionary.[2] His words brought hope of prosperity, and his public image was intentionally shaped with pictures of his smiles, benevolent deeds and warm encounters with children and babies.[3]

After the annexation, new government jobs were created and order was restored. The people were encouraged and hopeful, and — for a short while — the nation prospered. Then it crashed. This transformation is described by Kitty Werthmann:[4]

De Facto Military Occupation of Pennsylvania

WPXI [1] in Pittsburgh reported on February 9 that the Army National Guard will remain in the city “indefinitely” in response to the weather. “The guardsmen are paired up with police and medics across town, turning dozens of humvees into welcome wagons,” the news channel reported.

This represents the de facto military occupation of Pennsylvania and martial law. Martial law is defined as the imposition of military rule by military authorities on an emergency basis when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively. This is apparently precisely the case in Pennsylvania. It remains to be seen if the military or the civilian government is in control there.

The Army National Guard is part of the National Guard, ostensibly under the control of state governors. However, members of the Army National Guard are federally recognized armed force members in the active or inactive service of the United States and are a reserve component of the United States Army.

The traditional role of the National Guard was abolished with the 2007 Defense Authorization Act (aka the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act). It increased the president’s powers to federalize National Guard units and to use federal troops in domestic situations.

Americans are once again being conditioned to accept the sight of troops patrolling the streets and dealing with domestic law enforcement issues under the pretext of National Guard soldiers “helping” recovery efforts after the deluge of snow that has hit the East coast, the same soldiers who just months ago were also “helping” authorities to brutalize innocent people during the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.

“In the aftermath of the weekend’s storm, hundreds of National Guard members have been helping Pittsburgh’s emergency personnel respond to residents’ needs; and beginning tonight, they’re also going to be patrolling some city streets,” reports KDKA [2].

    A group of Muslim scholars says it supports airline safety, but it is “deeply concerned” about the use of airport scanners that show nude images of the human body. “The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) emphasizes that a general and public use of such scanners is against the teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures that stand for decency and modesty,” the group said in a Feb. 10 statement posted at Islam Online. “It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” FCNA explained.

    Most cultures and religious traditions have as part of their beliefs and overall worldview the idea that the current world will in one fashion or another come to an end. There are various apocalyptic scenarios out there, some more negative than others, and some more alarmist than others. If the world is indeed going to wind down or come to some cataclysmic end, the interesting question is how do people respond to this realisation? How do people cope if they are convinced that life as we know it may not last much longer? I saw just recently one way in…

    There are moments in Jeremiah Denton’s past that he wishes he could forget. One of the highest-ranking American officers to be captured during the Vietnam War, the retired rear admiral spent seven years and seven months as a POW, four of them in solitary confinement. Denton, who went on to become a U.S. senator from Alabama, will revisit some of that history Saturday at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle with a lecture on his book “When Hell Was in Session.” Recently re-released, the volume is a firsthand account of Denton’s time in some of the most…

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

A brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, questions whether members of the “political branches of the government” can “evade the clear and precise language of a provision of the Constitution through the use of a legislative ‘fix.’”

The dispute is over former Sen. Hillary Clinton’s eligibility to be secretary of state.

Lucifer, God’s greatest of all God’s creation (Ezek. 28:12, 15), in eternity past enjoyed a relationship to Almighty God. I truly believe there was a point in his existence that he loved and adored and the Triune God with all his heart. He had the chief place as Protector of the Holiness of God (Ezek 28:14) and was the worship and choir director of Heaven (Ezek 28:13). Lucifer enjoyed all the heavenly blessings of his rank and position. As events proceeded, though, there came a time when he became proud, arrogant, envious and bitter. In his foolish heart he sought the place of his Eternal Creator and Sovereign for himself, and he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:15-18; Jude 1:6; Rev. 12:4). Lucifer could have remained in his highly honored position indefinitely, enjoying the eternal blessings and fellowship with His Creator. In his madness, however, Lucifer chose rather to abandon the confines of absolute reality and perfection for a vain existence in the darkness of make-believe and delusion. In his attempt to exalt and preserve himself at all cost, he rejected and abandoned all that was real, becoming a murderer of souls, a tyrant of humanity, a despot to the fallen angelic host and a mastermind of slander, false truths and darkness. He is known as the Prince of Darkness (error, delusion and vain imagination) for thus is his reality (Isaiah 14:17-17; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8, Rev. 12:9).

    Applying the latest patches from Microsoft can cause Windows XP machines to crash with the infamous blue screen of death. Updating systems with the MS10-015 bulletin, which addresses “important” vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel, can cause machines to lock up when restarted before falling into a never-ending reboot loop. The problem is far from isolated, judging by a growing thread on the topic on an official Windows support forum here – though it’s fortunately not commonplace either. Restarting affected systems in Safe Mode reportedly doesn’t seem to help. Suggested fixes for the problem involve booting from a Windows CD or DVD…

Alinsky VS Paine (Part 5)
February 11, 2010 | Kerretarded

Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 12:42:42 PM by Kerretarded

The purpose of these writings is quite simple. We wanted to provide an easy to use tool in understanding Alinsky’s teachings, the tactics used by his followers, their motives, and the contrast of these to the spirit of America and her forefathers. Alinsky’s goal was revolution, just as our forefathers; but the outcome of each revolution are as different as freedom vs slavery. You can find the archives HERE

Common Sense by Thomas Paine

I spent the last few snowy days confined to a bed due to a stomach bug that my lovely children felt generous enough to give to me. During that time, I did a lot of reading and spent some hours on some blog sites having “discussions” with many of these “skulls full of mush” that have been indoctrinated by Saul’s philosophy. They have learned well from their master.

In Part 4, eeevil gives a great summary of Saul’s intentions:

He wants people to feel frustrated, defeated, lost and futureless so they are willing to let go of the past. He claims that effective organization is thwarted by revolution, because the youth is too impatient and wants to go straight to the revolution. He likens the process to acts in a play. Introducing the players and the plot occurs in act one; developing them in act two; and the final struggle of good vs evil in act three.

Today, in Part 5, we will discuss going straight to the revolution. The revolution that we will talk about will not be a simple one like Saul envisions where his main goal is to rally his supporters to simply replace one king, King Big Business, for another king, King Big Government. The revolution that we will discuss is already being waged. It is the revolution for Common Sense Solutions! No more are we going to sit back and assume that Government has integrity. No more are we going to give confidence to a body of politicians who feel that they and only they have what it takes to be in seats of power.

Going back to Thomas Paine’s Introduction, he states the following:

As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of calling the right of it in question, (and in matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry,) and as the king of England hath undertaken in his own right, to support the parliament in what he calls theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpations of either.

This paragraph from Paine’s intro highlights what has been blinding many of us for decades. There has been a long and violent abuse of power going on in the halls of Congress. Both parties are complicit. I would say one much more so than the other, but both are guilty. Entrenched politicians and lobbyists have prevented any real change. So here we are at another crossroads in our country’s existence. A Saul Alinsky student, Barack Obama, waged a completely successful campaign to woo the public into thinking that Camelot was going to ride into Washington and DESTROY KING BIG BUSINESS. He has been very successful at doing that. It may be his only claim of success. The only problem is that the Hope and Change did not happen, at least not the Hope and Change that he conveyed would happen. He was going to give a house, a car, a stocked pantry and free energy for life to all who bowed down to his greatness. This has not happened and must not blind us to the fact that part of the percentage of disgruntled voters is these same people.

This is where our battle must begin. Over the weekend, I received my pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence from the Heritage Foundation. The first two pages hold words that must forever be remembered. It says that Thomas Jefferson described the Declaration as:

    The Mothman is a creature reportedly seen in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West Virginia from November 12, 1966, to December 1967. Most observers describe the Mothman as a winged man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes and large wings. The creature was sometimes reported as having no head, with its eyes set into its chest. A number of hypotheses have been presented to explain eyewitness accounts, ranging from misidentification and coincidence, to paranormal phenomena and conspiracy theories. The word “Mothman” was an invention by an Ohio newspaper copyeditor, after the first news stories of the “Big Bird”…

Washington- White House Press Secretary Barry Gibbs advised the Washington Press Corps, this morning, that the Teleprompter was recovering nicely and would be resuming its role as President of the United States by early tomorrow. There had been much concern over the health and mental status of the Teleprompter over the last few months as many -that is to say many in the alternative press- had began to notice that the Teleprompter was directing Official Teleprompter Spokesperson (OTS) Buraq Obama to mispronounce words such as orion (oar-ee-on), corps man (corpse man) and most recently highly offend a delegation of dignitaries from Phuket, Thailand. Shortly after the last fiasco George Soros made the decision that the Teleprompter be taken off-line so that the problem could be fully diagnosed and addressed.

After hours of diagnostic tests yesterday it was determined by lead surgeon -Dr. Baltimore, M.D.- that the issue did not lie with the Teleprompter at all but was rather due to OTS Obama’s limited talent with English – which is immediately understandable as it is the man’s second language.

Hearing 2010 predictions by futurists and others is both entertaining and educational. National and state bankruptcy, discombobulating failures in corporate state health, finance, domestic security, intelligence and military industries, the breakup or collapse of both halves of the American political duocracy – political and economic crises and chaos are predicted by many observers.

One thing not predicted in 2010 is a reduction of American forces, or the numbers of American interferences and entanglements overseas. No one is predicting the ending of America’s illegal wars, or even the ending of a front in just one of the illegal wars. However, government spokesmen are aware that this is exactly what Americans want, and are beginning to pander. Case in point is JCS Chairman Admiral Mullen on The Daily Show last week discussing how we are coming out of Iraq in 18 months, and how the US military is 40% smaller than it was at the end of the Cold War.

Naturally, Mullen represents his case well, and is lying. In 1988, about a year before the end of the Cold War, a Congressional Research Service chronology of military spending put the DoD take at $451 billion (in 2005 dollars). In 2009, DoD got $460.5 billion (in 2005 dollars). The real military budget in 2009 was larger, not smaller, than at the end of the Cold War. But there’s more, namely the modern habit of funding any actual wars the DoD may be fighting through separate supplemental Congressional appropriations and authorizations. Not only is the DoD budget share larger in comparable dollars than just before the Cold War ended, it is a lot larger.

In terms of people, seems like this country has today 1,473,900 active duty personnel, and 1,458,500 reserves and that is indeed technically smaller than in 1988, when the US military had over 2.1 million men and women under arms. But that was before the broad-based government and military outsourcing rage of the last 15 years, which as one economist correctly wonders,

In the spring of 1945, when a liberated survivor of a World War II Nazi death camp was asked what he had learned from his ordeal, he replied, “When someone says he wants to kill you, believe him.” During the holocaust, in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the “tragedy of powerlessness,” millions of European Jews walked, obedient and docile, all the way into the gas chambers. This fact painfully permeates the modern Israeli psyche to the extent that it gives rise to a kind of national mantra—never again. Today, it is incomprehensible for those outside Israel to understand how Israelis must be feeling, knowing that there is a new Nazi-like state poised to attempt Israeli annihilation.

APPEASEMENT AND THE FALL OF CIVILIZATIONS

In 346 B.C., prior to the conquest of the Greek mainland by the armies of Macedon, Greek ambassadors agreed to a treaty called the Peace of Philocrates. After years of negotiations, the terms of the treaty allowed Macedon to absorb still more land—two very small city-states, Phocis and Alos. It proscribed that the Greeks stand by while their fellow Greeks of two small states were absorbed in the fashion of the ancient world, where many members of the leadership were executed and many of the women and children sold into slavery. Gone were the final two buffer states standing between central Greece and the invading armies from the north. With these two remaining obstacles out of the way, Macedon could prepare for the all-out invasion.

An Aboriginal community leader has come up with a unique solution to Australia’s feral camel problem: feed them to the crocodiles.

There are more than a million feral camels running wild in the Australian Outback, and the population is expected to double within the next 8-10 years.

Last November more than 6,000 of the camels invaded the Docker River indigenous community near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory in search of water. The wild animals trampled through homes, broke water tanks and disrupted the emergency airstrip.

Squadron that handles nuclear warheads at New Mexico base is decertified by Air Force
Minneapolis-St Paul Star Tribune ^ | 2/10/2010 | Tim Korte

Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 3:45:34 AM by sonofstrangelove

The Air Force has decertified a unit responsible for maintaining an estimated 2,000 nuclear warheads at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, but top military officials won’t discuss specifics of the decision.

Decertification means members of the 898th Munitions Squadron cannot perform their usual duties with nuclear weapons.

Air Force officials declined to specify what that means.

Air Force officials also declined to disclose what concerns prompted the action, but Ron Fry, a spokesman for the Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, said Wednesday the move wasn’t prompted by any risk to the public.

“There is no risk to security, safety or health,” he said.

The New Mexico unit will be re-inspected and could be recertified by June, Fry said. Until then, he said qualified individuals from Air Force units based elsewhere will monitor nuclear weapons stored at Kirtland, located on Albuquerque’s south side.

Fry said security and stewardship of nuclear weapons remains an Air Force priority, and squadrons assigned to handle nuclear assets are evaluated using rigid criteria.

“This is a business where, as part of the mission, you can’t get a score of 99 out of 100 and pass. It’s got to be 100 percent,” Fry said.
