Peace Bomb
I do not know how many of you are fed up with the idea of another totally hostile government becoming a nuclear threat to your life.
I just finished watching the Jerico series on Netflix and it was well worth my time watching it. I didn’t see it when it was on TV.
I actually think it’s much better to see it on either Flix or DVD.
You get the whole show without commercial breakups and the plot is so complex…
I would have had a hard time remembering what happened week to week.
If you missed the series ….
I won’t ruin the plot by telling you much,
but the theme is about a small town in Kansas that finds itself cut off from the rest of the world after
a mushroom cloud appears on the horizon. Its all too real and I suggest that if you have not seen it ….DO!
I kinda envy the people who live in those remote small towns.
The type that grow their own food and where neighbors all know each other to the point they don’t even lock their doors
or install car alarms.
Call me paranoid, but I live in the dead center of the DFW metroplex
and I can almost feel the weight hundreds of nukes that are targeted at my house.
I believe this world is already infected with enough weapons of mass destruction,
and adding Iran to the mix is not going to make me sleep easier.
To be to fair, let’s not forget North Korea, Even years of therapy
would not change the mindset of the dictators running that place. They are dangerous!
What are we to do about it? So far talking has proven worthless.
Our military threats are empty, as every one knows. We are over extended fighting in two countries already…
and not being exactly successful in either.
Now a friend of mind made a suggestion, kinda joking,
that at first I thought was totally insane, but after some reflection it is not without some merit.
The Plan
The employment of the Dubie Bomb
Resulting in a regional “Woodstock Effect.”
That’s right marijuana, made into millions of massive smoke bombs,
taken from the huge stockpiles we already have confiscated from drug dealers over the years.
Using stealth bombers we would safely release millions of small and large cluster bombs
up wind of every major population center in both Iran and North Korea.
Follow this up by air drops of massive quantizes of munchies, and pizza,
and large sound broadcasting units belching out tunes from Pink Floyd and John Lennon.
And keep doing it until it takes effect ……I would estimate 3 months should about do it.
As the huge clouds of the mind altering drug wash into the minds of the oppressed population,
making them totally mello, they could immediately feast on the best chips and junk food we have in endless supply.
The message of world peace, broadcast though the music would finally get through.
All control of the oppressed people would vanish.
Even the troops with guns would forget why they were fighting and sit down and join in the party!
Now I grant you the leaders would shelter themselves in air proof bunkers, for certain,
but when they issued orders out of the bunkers ….who would listen to them?
Consider for a moment what happened at Woodstock….hundreds of thousands of people
all feeling the love and peace that are inherently within each of us.
Woodstock changed the lives of almost everyone who attended it.
Biochemically reefer interferes with the thinking function of the human mind, it temporally erases the historical programmed thoughts
we were taught to believe and brings one’s attention into the felt moment of immediate experience.
Would this harm the populations effected?
Today, even though they are illegal, the psychoactive and physiologically active chemical compounds known as cannabinoids
that are consumed for recreational, medicinal, and spiritual purposes
have not been proven to cause any adverse health effects.
I know not everyone accepts this as fact; however, when you view pot as a weapon
used against an aggressive nation it is far less harmful than a bullet.
Am I seriously suggesting this a viable course of action…..
nahhh but I wonder is it any less insane or effective than our present course of action?

very entertaining, and the first time i have laughed heartily out loud since i caught this flu…i concur, could b very helpful,how might we convince our government or sway private investors to drop the goods on our enemies?
:sunny:
good question,
Each month thousand of packages of munchies go out of date and have to be thrown away even though they have enough perservatives to keep them “fresh” for years… Do twinkies ever really go bad?
Drop the out of date stuff and throw in a tax credit?
:spinning:
watching a little known series called Jeremiah about how all the adults in the world died… and what happened 10 years later when the kids were now adults! you should try to catch it… only about 20 episodes i think. maybe someone will take your idea seriously enough to try to figure if it’d work… most likely tho- they’d figure out a way to smuggle it back into the states and resell it- getting rich off our insanity and having the reverse affect you desire!
It’s not even so much the threat on my own life, but against the lives of those innocent of all this avarice and power play and hate that constructs the threat in the first place. The Earth, the people who have done nothing to suffer for the greed of the powers that be.
Until we each come to a place where we deeply see the folly, understand it fully, there can be no awakening to peace and non-threat.
There is a film entitled “Testament”, that if you see it will bring a trembling pause. It was made in the 1980′s, I think.
Peace~
How do we bomb the US, too? We need to be blissed out just as much as our *aggressors* who are merely a reflection of our own collective reality :fun:

Dear Doug,
First of all, I loved Jericho, and was devastated when it was cancelled. (Twice) I watched it weekly. But I love watching TV shows on my Netflix feed, or on DVD, where experiencing the whole thing is more like reading a novel than watching a series. I watched the first 5 seasons of The Sopranos on DVD, before tuning into the series on television. I watched Six Feet Under on DVD after it had already gone off the air, and it “ended’ so the experience was really neat. (Some of my favorite HBO shows , like Carnivale, were cancelled in the midst of a story arc. )
Jericho might have seemed to you to end rather quickly. The second season didn’t get the ratings, even after the fans got it back on the air after the first season ended, because of the writer’s strike and the extended hiatus it endured. When filming resumed, they sort of wound up all the loose ends as best they could, but I would have loved to see the series last at least four seasons, where it would have hit it’s stride.
I smoked pot for many years, and could probably get a doctor to prescribe some for me because of insomnia, but for now I have my memories. For many years, I bragged that from 1972 when I began smoking marijuana, till when I stopped, I never ‘ran out’, and , truthfully, I still haven’t. I have a bud stashed away in case of “emergency” although like that bottle of champagne I was to open when I graduated from college and never did (I dropped out) I will probably never smoke the “last bud.”
The idea to globally mesmerize the populace might be a good one, perhaps. It makes me remember when, during the 60s, the counterculture wanted to dump LSD in the water supplies of the world, in order to help mankind achieve total enlightenment. As an “aging hippie” who has had my share of “bad trips” as well as good ones, I’m glad that never happened.
Interesting proposal, though. Certainly mankind needs to get a bit more “mellow.”

Dear Dos Mangos, I am not able to get into any of my blogs…ie. books and am beginning to understand that I need to ask the few friends I have on line to write Xanga support and ask them to help me to get my sites back. Today none of
my identifying questions worked on one of my blogger sites. I was able to add another–my password was sent off to
a snowboard.com address.
frustrated and alarmed.
Ketja–that was a lifetime site, but someone took it down
and offered me a site no one else would want as a lifetime site.
