Not a single ICBM with a live warhead has ever been tested.

The ICBM is, substantially, a hoax. Scientifically unproven, a semi-imaginary technology. Image
Warheads have been tested, and ICBMs with warheads removed have been tested, but never together.

Imagine only ever testing a gun with powder and casing, but no projectile.
Image
Image
In 1961, the Armed Services Committee of the United States House of Representatives asked, "Who knows whether an intercontinental ballistic missile [ICBM] with a nuclear warhead will actually work?..." Image
On 6 May 1962, USS Ethan Allen successfully launched a Polaris A-1 with a live nuclear warhead toward Christmas Island. Codenamed FRIGATE BIRD, this was the only test the United States ever conducted of any nuclear ballistic missile from launch to detonation.
Image
Image
The Polaris A-2 was not an ICBM, it was a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) with a range of only 1,700 miles. The differences between the Polaris and an ICBM are extreme in every area: flight ceiling, maximum speed, range, computation, mass, etc.
Image
Image
The W 47 Polaris warhead had been modified following an earlier test showing it was prone to "inadvertent detonation". It was later estimated that half of W 47 warheads would have failed to detonate. Image
There was no experimental program on FRIGATE BIRD. Little in the way of "scientific rigor" was applied. The documentation is minimal.

"Documentary photography from a C-54 aircraft was planned, but there Is no evidence that this took place."
Image
Image
Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay stated in 1964: "We have only had one test, it was not under fully operational conditions, we fired one Polaris out in the Pacific with a warhead on it. It was not truly operational. It was modified to some extent for the test."


Image

Image
Barry Goldwater campaigned in 1964 warning that absent a full test "we are building a Maginot line of missiles," saying "the fact is that not one of our ICBMs has ever been subjected to a full test (of all component systems, including warheads) under simulated battle conditions." Image
Unfortunately, Goldwater was vilified by the communist media and painted by his opponents as "bomb happy." The entire discussion was swept away and forgotten. We now live in a fantasy realm, armed only with weapons of mass delusion. Image
If you believe in the beauty and majesty of thermonuclear weapons as I do, we must dispel this hideous senility, and return to our rightful timeline. When Trump wins in 2024, we must demand he break the chains of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and let Prometheus be unbound once more
Image
Image
To the doubters: the Joint Chiefs of Staff thought the need for proofing was such that they were willing to nuke southern California, Image
“Does a test conducted dead still at the bottom of a hole provide reliable assurance that the same weapon will work after traveling several thousand miles an hour in a reentry vehicle?"

A. L. Meyers, “Nuclear Testing,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Vol. 43 (1986)
Correction: it was the only test conducted by the United States where a live nuclear ballistic missile completed the entire flight sequence, including launch, flight, reentry, and detonation.

All the bizarre things I've studied have faded to trivialities. Nothing has broken my belief in normal reality like learning, just now, that doctors didn't think babies felt pain until the late 1980s
The multiplier that, having studied "medical nemesis" in some detail, I had not heard this until today is really kicking my head in right now
You simply can't believe "doctors" are normal things after learning that

I am 1000% (one thousand percent) certain one of you found a monkey's paw and wished for infinite JD Vance memes
When I saw this one, that's when I realized things were spiraling out of control Image
Post the rare Vance meme that made you think "This has gone too far" in the comments below.

Verhoeven did *intend* to make a movie that said "war makes fascists of us all" but he failed on every level because he doesn't understand fascism, war or how propaganda works.
1/ Image
First, his film *forces* the audience to side with the Aryan-vibey, attractive youths against the mindless, hideous, alien bugs. The morally unambiguous, gore-filled spectacle is guilt-free and even Verhoeven's portrayal of military propaganda is more slapstick than surreal. Image
The film doesn't subvert anything, at no point *during the watching* does one see the jingoism on display as excessive. No one feels bad for reveling in the slaughter of a genocidal, interplanetary swarm of vile insects. There's no moment where we see the bugs are "just like us" Image

Representation is the reward of the raped. Putting it in media and consuming it is a ritual display- "look at the monster you made." Pleasure is derived from your revulsion.

This impulse is routed into "Resisting Trump," who has been framed as the urbild father-rapist. Image
They are "proud" of their wretched forms because it gives them the "empowerment" of a masturbating hobo on a metro train. "Representation" is all important in their media because that's the only value it has: to feed raped goblins. Ultra Leftism will not work without this system.
The masturbating hobo commandeers the metro system. In that time-space, the logistics of human transport are subject to his "revolting display." Everyone that passes through gets "modulated." Everyone receives the residue of his image. Leftism is the revolution of the raped.

Understand that racking 100+ bodies basically hyper-troons a woman, transforms her into a grizzled amputee drill sergeant on tren, with nothing but contempt for weakness.

"madz" sees men only as a supply of fresh meat for the grinder (vagina dentata) Image
Image
The she-troon is essentially a "turbo homo," a prison rapist prowling the internet to intimidate and demoralize straight men. The threat of violence here is abstracted into terms of social punishment. Absurdly, you are a "pussy" if you don't submit to her inverted mandingo.
For the militarized she-troon , Brad is both draft-dodger and snitch. His post, framed in scars of vagina dentata, and his conscientious objection, is bad for morale. Brad knows the War for Foid Explosion is unwinnable, a sterile void breeding only STDs. So he must be silenced.

Modernity is the build-out of a cognitive architecture utterly unique to whites. “Authenticity” and “sincerity” are identity construction platforms cultivated by white Europeans to adapt to the peculiar conditions of modernity. "Brown people" do not exist. They are a simulation
These identity constructs are co-evolved, operationally coupled, and specifically organic to whites, historically, psychically and genetically. There is, essentially, no such thing as a “sincere” or “authentic” brown identity. Even the concept of “identity” is a white adaptation
Who or what a brown person is, their symbols of self, can only be assigned according to their ancestral geography, their race, their caste. They have not cultivated their own co-evolved platforms for identity construction. "Modern brown identity" is a self-canceling sentence.
