Is Indianapolis Prepared for World War III?
We are on the verge of nuclear war with Russia. Why aren’t we talking about peace or civil defense?
The war in Ukraine is a bloody proxy war between Russia and the USA. Unlike the many hot wars the USA has waged since World War II, both sides in this conflict are armed with a multitude of nuclear weapons, ranging from tactical nukes in the kiloton-range to intercontinental (ICBM) weapons in the megaton-range. The use of a tactical nukes in Europe would quickly escalate into a full-scale exchange of ICBMs and nuclear tipped cruise missiles resembling this simulation:
If the simulation is correct, many millions of people in the Northern Hemisphere will die and many more will be injured. An Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) would knock out the electrical grid and fry every device containing micro-processors — cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, phones, medical equipment. An EMP induced by two or three nuclear explosions in space would send the USA back into the Pre-Industrial Age without the skills needed to survive. Lacking the advanced technology on which we’ve become reliant , millions would die from an EMP attack within days. Many more would die weeks and months later as essential supplies, food, potable water, medicines dwindled and supply lines dried up.
Facing this dire threat, you’d think every public official and the media would be clamoring for an immediate truce and peace talks. Instead, everyday the drumbeats of war grow louder.
If nuclear war with Russia is unavoidable, shouldn’t public officials be working around the clock, 24/7 to build and equip blast-proof and radiation-proof shelters with ample supplies of food & medicine for every civilian in and adjacent to targeted areas? Given the level of destruction from a nuclear or EMP attack, why isn’t there a well-publicized campaign to prepare and equip civilians to survive the blasts and radiation (and millions will survive) to maintain a basic level of civilization to prevent further death and suffering?
Here in Indianapolis, Mayor Hogsett has expressed support for Ukraine. Other public officials from both parties support the proxy war against Russia. But I haven’t heard a peep out of any of these politicians or the media about civil defense. This is incredibly irresponsible, bordering on premeditated mass-murder.
In every modern war, civilians and non-combatants have found themselves targeted, first by airships, then by airplanes, guided missiles and drones. The methods of defending the innocent men, women and children on the home front are well-known and have saved many lives. The London Blitz is one example.
The conclusion I have arrived at is public officials and the media don’t want to alarm the public about the danger of nuclear war because they want to keep the war going to benefit the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street. They are provoking the Russian leadership, keeping their fingers crossed that Russia practices restraint… all the while proclaiming the Russian leadership to be insane!
They are the insane ones. Our leadership from President Biden, the Congress down to the state and local level are a pack of psychopathic, bloodthirsty war-pigs.
We’re on our own… stock-up on canned goods.
