Satellite Image Confirms Iranian Missile Base Was Destroyed
Today's curious news report posted by Iran's semi-official news agency Fars, which was promptly muted, only to be republished by Israel's Haaretz, of a major explosion near the Iranian city of Isfahan, has left many scratching their heads. As Haaretz reports: "Speaking with Fars news agency, Isfahan’s deputy mayor confirmed the reports and said the authorities are investigating the matter. However, after the incident was reported in Israel, the report was taken off the Fars website." Which led many to wonder: is this a real event or merely a provocation designed to make Iranians believe they were attacked? Further complicating matters is the just released news from Washington Post which shows satellite images of the aftermath of another explosion in Iran, this time from two weeks ago at an Iranian missile base. "The image of the compound, near the city of Malard, doesn’t provide any clues as to what caused the Nov. 12 explosion, which Iranian authorities described as an “accident” involving the transport of ammunition. But it does make clear that the facility has been effectively destroyed. Paul Brannan, a senior analyst for the Institute for Science and International Security, which specializes in the study of nuclear weapons programs, said it’s impossible to tell from the image whether the blast was caused by sabotage, as has has been speculated in this explosion and others at transport facilities, oil refineries and military bases in Iran. Brannan said ISIS had recently learned from “knowledgable officials” that the blast had occurred just as Iran had achieved a milestone in the development of a new missile and may have been performing a “volatile procedure involving a missile engine at the site.” So the question stands: is Iran being systematically attacked with the news being covered up for fear that it can not retaliate and thus seem week; is it being sabbotaged on a weekly basis, or is everything just one big media disinformation campaign designed to provoke Iran to lash out? We will probably know very soon, today's "oversold" and now completely disconnected from reality rally notwithstanding.

Bullish
I know this because Tyler knows this.
Hmmmm. Let's see.
2 major explosions in 2 weeks at 2 different Iranian weapons facilities.
Coincidence??
Rrrrright.....
And readings of radioactive iodine over Europe around the same time........
Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

With enough soap, you can blow up irradiate the whole world.
White smoke was reported to be seen rising from the site. Isn't smoke from a munitions explosion black?
A new pope!
It musta been those waskawy, dastawdly, Joooooooooooooooos. C'mon Jew-haters, chime in!!!

This is really old news (over a month old). Why is ZH reporting it now? Dissappointing indeed.
The explosion occured this morning.
STUXNET strikes again!
Windows 95 malfunctioned.
because there was a 2nd explosion today in another town
You're only smirking 'cause you know it had to be the Lutherans.
That was so fucking funny man I farted.
Probably. Not to mention that it appears stunningly kind of the Iranians to place BRIGHT BLUE roofs on buildings at their "missile bases," doesn't it?
With Isotope Soap...

And some dumb fuck doctor in Europe said it was from too much radioactive iodine being used in medical examinations.
Hah haha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ahhah
And we're gonna bail those morons out?

Circular error probable zero. Impact with high-order detonation. Have a nice day.
...or they didn't read their quantity-distance tables correctly. The dumbfucks were probably storing that shit too close together.
Well, the Operating manuals are in Russian, I guess interpretation into Farsi may be off by just a bit?
Ya, you know my only concern at the moment is the oft chance the Iranians might respond in kind in self-defense or some such other ridiculous reaction to getting attacked and one of their bases being fucking blown to smithereens.
They are taking out certain operational areas that could be used to tool more rockets or fuel for their rockets. They know that Iran has alot of long range (and accurate) rockets. They want to be able to take them all out at one time and not be able to reconstitute quickly. Who knows, there might be special forces in the country sabotaging key structures for a prelude to attack. Remember the media will work with the govt. to keep things quiet.
as i examine the sat-shots more carefully, i find myself wondering if this might not be due to killer beez...
B-1 and B-2?
The cunning plan: keep degrading the missle facilities. Check this new headline out from over at the Debka site: NATO-Gulf military officers in Turkey prepare for intervention in Syria. While you degrade Iranian missle capability, you crash Assad's economic base, cut off the flow of whizz-bangs to Hamas et al, then fire up the missle defense, drop everything you have on Iran via air strikes while the IDF invades the territories and slaughters everyone. Then they have a free ride to the Tigris. The helpless Iraqis shit all over themselves and the New Zionist Empire, from the transjordan to the Tigris is complete. Obama gets promoted to Overlord by his Neocon Masters. Bwa ha ha.... yours,

gotta love when Fight Club quotes get down voted. I posted, "Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you" - the other day and received dozens of down votes. It's been made into a movie! You don't even have to read!
Rule #1: "Never talk about Fight Club." A-Hole
Fortunately, anyone dumb enough to try any of this won't survive it. Munitions chemistry in the hands of the unskilled eliminates a lot of mad bombers before they can act.
Too damn bad Keynesian economics doesn't also work the same way.
You know what Dave? Munitions in the hands of a lot of people kill a lot of people. Now stop being a dumbass and remove that goofy avatar.
Someone fart in the shower?
You need fuming (red) nitric acid to fully nitrate the glycerin. Not easy. These types polynitrated compounds in pure form are very shock (mechanically & electrically) sensitive. Don't believe recipes from the Internet.
Naphthalene (mothballs) are far more useful and less messy than paraffin or sawdust (although nitrocellulose is a good fuse material). Paraffin is not easily nitrated. Naphthalene mixtures form stable putty/plastics.
That said, why would anyone want to blow things up?
It's on like freaking donky kong! Time to kick some Iranian booty, then claim their oil and women. I want one that has a tight hole.
Oh stop... I'm talking about oil wells.
Plus since my business is DEAD I only have 18 hours a day to watch TV, and college football season is coming to a close. I'll need something else for my viewing pleasure. Remember SHOCK AND AWE!!! That was some cool shit getting blown to hell with limited commercial interuption.

As it does every year, WND is inviting readers to submit their candidates for the most "spiked" stories of the year in Operation Spike!
At this time, news organizations prepare their year-end retrospective replays of what they consider to have been the top news stories of the previous 12 months. But WND's editors have always found it more newsworthy to publish a compilation of the important stories most ignored by the establishment press.
WND Editor and CEO Joseph Farah has sponsored "Operation Spike" every year since 1988 and since founding WND in May 1997 has continued the annual tradition. For the past 12 years, WND has invited its readers to join in and submit what they considered the most underreported stories of the past year.

Last year, WND's "readers' choice" picks for the 10 most underreported stories of 2011 were:

Dow's down > 100 since the news. Not in a flash, but a gradual rolling off of the hopium high.
The budget problem will be assuaged by raising taxes less then the amount the Bush tax cuts are set to increase them. The Red and the Blues will both be free to claim they actually cut taxes. Advantage Barry O.
CIA operatives in Syria indiscriminately killing innocent citizens, that looks like Syrian's killing their own, will be Pres. Zer0's excuse to take no fly zone Military action, where they begin taking out Syria's 6,000 tanks. And as pressure mounts, to keep Israel at bay, we will be on the verge of, or in, active conflict with Iran; advantage 0.
American's are reluctant to change horses when embroiled in a shooting match... Debt Clown Zer0 gets his second term and the American Citizen, Mark is had once again.

Glad to see this bothers some people. It does me, as well. But things could very well play out along these lines. And where would the SPX be? Will the prospect of a larger conflict in the Middle East strengthen the dollar; the country?

Yup, uranium suppliers would explode the Dow.
Ooops.
Dam potholes.
Maybe someone saw that the Russians weren't planning on sending their carrier down there until 2012 and figured they still had a month or so.
That carrier is the only one left, old and cranky, and its value is not in its projected power but in "if anything happens to it".
Would be very surprised if it survives the voyage!
Crater is there for all to see.
The crater is in your cranium.
Seems to me the US has been testing a weapon that can arrive anywhere on the globe in one hour. Hmmm?
In the meantime, the tell on WTI is quite interesting...yawn. Additionally, the daily chart on crude futures is sporting a lovely shooting star formation topped perfectly by the BB bands.

Nice.
Shares of banks now showing a similar but slightly different formation called "the meteor."
More likely a B-2.

X-37b perhaps? Was just mulling that over a few days ago.
This is tin foil hat stuff but just for fun, try and compose a sound argument that the U.S. and others are not developing energy pulse weapons. The technology isn't that difficult. A giant capacitor collecting solar power in space, then... zap!
Microwave beams would be hard to detect and would be really good at starting fires and explosions. Witnesses would just pop like popcorn kernels. Look for the stomach that is turned inside out.
Iran wouldn't want that getting out, now would they?
Just for fun... pretend it's real. Would Ron Paul kill that program too?
Most of Paul budget goes to defense.

"RUH, ROH"
Doesn't explain the damage at all.
Masers (microwave lasers) have been under development at Argonne National Labs since the early 80s (at least). They are high energy, focused microwaves whose use was thought to be for "communication".
Hey, don't knock my moonbat shit. I saw the technology 40 years ago in a james bond movie.
Weapons like that should not fall into the wrong hands. Our gov needs to keep a lid on those developments and they continue fo rthe common good. Like using DU on troops and civilians. Very prudent.
You saw the technology in a James Bond movie? Let's have a little respect around here.
Half the shit they fantasy about 40 years ago is reality now.

Great, another war. When do we run out of bad guys and start bombing ourselves?
As soon as the SNAP and/or SS money stops flowing.

Maybe if you devided your country into a north and a south part and when each other would say the other side are demons?
Could work....
But to make sure there aren't any mixups, one side needs to wear blue suits and the other grey. Deal?
Been there, done that.
well we could mix it up this time.... class based, urban v. rural, religious.... so many options for dividing the goy.
North n South still in place.....The Uniforms will have to come from China, after being run past the fashionistas, could be ready to rumble in, oh, three years...Oh, sorrrryreeeeee, forgot you will be totally bust by then, could you make do with paper uniforms? If so the kraut's are the people to talk to...!
When Walmart runs out of $1.28 towels, apparently.
Which means not fast enough. The rest of the world thanks you. Oh and BTW, Iran is now where Cambodia used to be. Not that it matters... but just in case geography is still... nm ... [sigh]
Geography? I don't think that's taught here anymore. Fortunately, I have an old globe from the days when there was just one Germany. Not that I matter.
Then wait'll you see the run on the Pepper Spray.
we're already destroying ourselves
Sooner than you think.
6 days later? if this were an act of war, someone would probably have said so by now...
Watcha say? I been watch'n football...
Openly declaring war vs. vague plattitudes is as passe as addressing women as "Ma'am", removing your hat indoors and dancing the jitterbug.
That had to be one hell of an explosion OR several smaller ones...
A false flag won't work this time so Iran is being provoked with sabotage operations to strike first.
Imagine a satellite from space capable of focusing an intense beam of radiation down to the earth, much like a child's magnifier on an ant, anything that can ignite - will.
Diamonds are forever.
And the whole ground based missile defense thingy is a giant red herring.
Sign me up for that plan.
Diamonds are forever?

Looks like they threw in the towel.
And they just bought it on Black Friday at Wal-Mart.
Or was it Target?
I can't remember now. I am Amerikkkan, after all. I have zero memory of any thing in the past.
Hope they did not pay more than a dollar fifty

The CIA outed 12 undercovers last week?
This is not good.
Sorry got to state the obvious.
Kinetic velocity weapons are another good use of tungsten.
muslems are the new nazis, going for the final solution, gifted with german enrichment technology.
stealing the fire
Actually...I believe they are. They act the same too...always judging and trying to kill people.
always judging and trying to kill people
I see these people in the USofA, too.
We call them "Christians".
Particularly. The original Christians tried to kill baby Jesus with golf balls when he was floating in the water hazard but having missed later made it up when they crucified him and then stole his body as a Roman varsity fraternity trick all being a false flag operation that backfired.
Christians, go well with chips, lightly salted plus vinegar, best wrapped in newpaper.
Wrong. They're called Baptists.
Muslim / Terror the same thing, right? Terror has been the new nazis for the last 10 yrs. We need a new fresh object to get focused on. GDP needs growing. What story is Langley working on now.... hum....

So, anyone notice that WW3 just started ?
It was in a memo Roger sent out last week. Are you on the list? Gotta call Roger and get on the list.
Assholes started without me! I didn't get the memo.
I think it's been going on for some time now. Just a slightly different cadence than we might otherwise recognize.
Conspiracy theorists.
Next thing you'll be telling me is that our leaders knew about 9/11 in advance, yet did nothing to stop it. Some sayTM it was an "inside job".
Bah!
conspiratal sarcasm
At least the soccer field looks OK.
is there a before and after, of the white house?
funny how iran has opened its doors to nuclear arms investigators as a signatory member - yet israel has refused to sign-up or for that matter let no investigations of their known nuclear arsenal to date - this is terrible - what gives this country the right to have nuclear weapons in the first place - what gives the american foreign aid committee the right to give the 'lion's share' to israel when the country dual-citizenship are the wealthiest collective in the known universe - just makes me sick to my stomach
jmo
ps. really,... what has iran done - we just can't go on destroying nations and killing millions of innocents for no apparent reason - sure their leader said some stupid things but yahoo is no different - really,... this is getting seriously stupid
" ps. really,... what has iran done - we just can't go on destroying nations and killing millions of innocents"
You seem to have forgotten the motto of the new century; "YES WE CAN!!!!"
:-))
That's the change part that goes with the "they better fucking hope"
I'll take the minus one as a compliment... Truth hurts don't it?
there's an apparent reason, it's called oil
Call it WW3, it'll will turn into the new crusade. Christians vs. Muslims.
Missile defense system successful
Stuxnet; the gift that just keeps giving.

Well no actually I'm not sure that sort of thing actually works both ways.
But we'll see.

It used to be "I want a new drug." Now, it is " I want a new war." Pakistan attack followed by Iranian explosions. Whatever it takes to ramp up military spending. Who's next?

Ok, I'll call it, false flag. Watch the other hand.
Waiting for Krugman report saying he's EXTREMELY BULLISH on Iran after all the destruction. Add some deficit spending and there you have it, perpetual motion growth machine is back in town! Euro-Gollum, as an unelected president, might get interested in the report. It would provide new way to approach tackling the continent wide insolvency glitch. Bombs away all over zeurope and massive rebuilding.

Seems to be no damage outside the "perimeter".
