ErnstBlofeld Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wikipedia:I just checked the levels of our defenses and it has been moved to Defcon 1.A defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert posture used by the United States armed forces. Wikipedia checks the alertness on a regular bases. DEFCON 1 means that our forces is at maximum readiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find anything on Google to confirm Ernst's postings. My information are from trusted personnel who inside Air Force Bases.I checked Edwards AFB and they were on alert. I received three calls from different Air Force Bases and they were the same.There maybe is not a word from them because of information blackouts when they are on alert status.

ErnstBlofeld Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 So what does this mean? Egypt connection? We are on alert because Egypt is a strategic interest of the United States. During the Yom Kippour War the United States was on alert.We are also in uncharted territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCon 1 would be an extreme reaction to protests in a foreign country that has not directly threatened any U.S. facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the hardcore Stalinists tried to retake the Kremlin from Gorbachev in '92(?), we might have gone to Defcon 4, but the only known thing that took us even to Defcon 2 was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Egypt might be a worrisome situation, but it's not something that ramps up the B-52s and the Tridents, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrWoodchuck Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Just read @ BlackFive that the 800,000 acre Dugway Testing Ground in Dugway, Utah had been closed for several days prior to January 27th. The reason for the closure was the "disappearance" of one mililiter [a teaspoon] of VX nerve gas. Turns out, it had been mislabeled, but they were very concerned & issued a complete closure of the base. VX nerve agent was the basis for the movie "Rage" with George C. Scott. Evidently a little bit would go a very long way, and since the nearest population centers would be Las Vegas & Los Angeles; maybe that warranted the alert status.

Pepper Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 SrWoodChuck I saw that news, turns out it was "improperly shelved" Imagine stirring some VX along with your Equal in your styrofoam cup. For about 10 minutes the coffee would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrWoodchuck Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Pepper! I read that the missing VX was a syrup-like clear/brown, like the vanilla, agave-nectar that I use in "muddled" drinks & my morning cup'o "mud." It would certainly prove that too much coffee can aggravate your nervous system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
