"If we understand that there is an existential danger here, and that Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and all the countries of the Middle East decide that it is time to settle against us, I understand that we have the capabilities to use doomsday weapons," - Katz.

Opacity with ambiguity! Israel the atomic bomb but perhaps much more?

"'We have capabilities to use doomsday weapons,' says expert concerning regional war"

"Yair Katz revealed Israel's capability to combat Iran with doomsday weapons, highlighting international intelligence support and successful defense against an Iranian attack."

"Yair Katz, Chairman of the Israel Aerospace Industries Workers' Council, revealed at an event in the city of Yehud-Monosson on Saturday that Israel has a weapon that could combat Iran, Maariv reported."

FOR DECADES IT HAS BEEN ASSUMED THE ISRAELI POSSESSES A STOCKPILE OF ATOMIC WEAPONS AND A WILLINGNESS TO USE IF NECESSARY. CALLED THE SAMSON OPTION.

To what extent the Israeli also has their disposal and are also ready to use chemical/biological/radiological munitions I cannot say.

Let me suggest also the American graphite bomb. Can destroy an electric grid system. Without electricity a modern society will quickly revert to a more primitive existence as was lived 1,000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite_bomb

Chloropicrin.

This is coolbert:

Often I have wondered about this! The Russian since the start of the Ukraine Conflict have avoided the use of lethal chemical agents. Not just white phosphorous [WP] or riot agent but poison gases that can be deadly.

Apparently however the Russian HAS been using mortally dangerous chemical munitions and repeatedly!

"NBC Weapons: Chemical Warfare in Ukraine"

From https://www.strategypage.com an extract:

Chemical warfare the Ukraine Conflict. Lethal agents!

"June 26, 2024: Russia has used lethal poison gas against Ukraine for the entire 2022 war, sometimes including the Novichok nerve gas. It started out with one use early on, during the siege of Mariupol, became sporadic for most of the war and suddenly became constant (100+ per month) starting in April 2024. The use of nerve agents increased too, but how much is not clear. The only consistent items in every use are that all were delivered by UAVs and drones on Ukrainian forward areas, and all involved the forbidden agent Chloropicrin, which is principally an irritant that is lethal in higher doses. Chloropicrin is used by itself or in conjunction with more lethal agents."

And from the wiki:

"In World War I, German forces used concentrated chloropicrin against Allied forces as a tear gas. While not as lethal as other chemical weapons, it induced vomiting and forced Allied soldiers to remove their masks to vomit, exposing them to more toxic gases used as weapons during the war."

Comments:

* This chloropicrin an old-fashioned choking agent. But can be lethal in high-dosage.

* Quite clever [?] to use chloropicrin to "break mask" all the while under attack from much more lethal poison gases.

 * Presumably the use of nerve agent would [?] requires a mandatory release order direct from Putin?

* Even more widespread usage of deadly chemical agents only going to further complicate reconstruction in the aftermath of the war. That bad stuff is like a forever chemical.

Uninhibited.

This is coolbert:

From naval policing actions to high-intensity warfare, the French prepare!

"France preparing for naval warfare, rear-admiral says"

From TASS | 11 APR [2024].

"According to Jacques Mallard, Western navies have to adapt to a new environment with 'increasingly uninhibited competitors'"

"BRUSSELS, April 11. /TASS/. The French Navy is preparing for potential military operations amid growing risks of an armed conflict, Rear Admiral Jacques Mallard, the commander of France’s carrier battle group, said."

"The French navy is shifting its training away from a focus on policing operations to gird for war against foes who want 'to destroy us,' he told Politico. 'We now train for other missions, in particular what we call high-intensity warfare,' Mallard noted."

High-intensity warfare in the American sense of the term meaning the use of weapons of mass destruction [WMD]! It might be the French define that phrase differently!

Prepare for the worst! Hope for the best?

Normally I might think that organized crime might stay away from anything involving nuclear material. Brings too much attention and heat!

At least until now? Japanese criminal syndicate Yakuza hard at work?

"Japanese mafia boss conspired to traffic nuclear materials, says US"

From https://www.bbc.com | BBC News, Washington | By Bernd Debusmann Jr.

"US authorities claim that Takeshi Ebisawa is a senior figure in a sprawling Japanese organized crime group."

"US prosecutors have charged an alleged member of the Japanese mafia with conspiring to traffic nuclear materials."

[....]

"The US Department of Justice said Mr Ebisawa and his 'confederates showed samples of nuclear materials in Thailand' to an undercover agent from the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)."

"The agent was posing as a drugs and weapons trafficker with links to an Iranian general."

"The nuclear samples - which came from Myanmar - were seized by Thai authorities and transferred to US investigators. A US laboratory confirmed the material contained uranium and weapons-grade plutonium"

That question I would ask is: of what possible reason or purpose does Myanmar [Burma] have weapons-grade plutonium?

coolbert.

Neutrons.

This is coolbert:

Here, once again, will be the conspiracy theory of weapons of mass destruction [WMD] being used during the Gaza war. In this particular case, radiological weapons of the neutron bomb type. A bomb that appears to detonate as an ordinary chemical kinetic weapon, but when exploding exposes nearby human beings to lethal doses or near lethal doses of neutron radiation. Can poison the system of a person in the short term and long term both.         

Yet more the blood libel accusation.

 "U.S. and Israel may be secretly using neutron bombs to achieve genetic destruction of Palestinians, radiation expert warns"

From https://www.naturalnews.com//12/27/2023 // Belle Carter // 

"British scientist Christopher Busby believes that it is not impossible that Israel, with the help of the United States, is secretly using neutron bombs to 'genetically cleanse' Palestinians in Gaza. The neutron bomb is a specialized type of nuclear weapon that would produce minimal blast and heat but would release large amounts of lethal radiation."

"The radiation expert agreed with Mike Adams during a recent episode of the 'Health Ranger Report' that the kinetic damage that's been caused to the hospitals and residential buildings in Gaza may be the secondary effect as the primary goal was actually genetic damage of an ethnic group – the very definition of genocide."

It is not that I don’t believe this. It is more that I don’t want to believe any of this!

coolbert.

Fungus.

This is coolbert:

I can tell you instantaneously where this is all going. The allegation is going to be made that the Israeli is using a very insidious bio-weapon against the people of Gaza. Dropping bombs and firing artillery shells loaded with a deadly pathogen. A fungus that enters bodies of victims through a wound. A fungus for which there is no treatment or remedy.

This is referred to as the blood libel.

"IDF Soldier Dies of Treatment-Resistant Fungus from Gaza, 10 More Infected"

From Jewish Press ^ | 26/12/23 | David Israel.

"An IDF fighter who was seriously injured two weeks ago died on Tuesday after being infected by a dangerous fungus found in the soil of the Gaza Strip, Reshet Bet Radio reported. The fungus has infected ten other fighters. The deceased fighter arrived with serious injuries to his limbs at Asuta Hospital in Ashdod, where they identified that he had been infected with treatment-resistant fungi. The doctors tried every possible treatment, including experimental treatments from abroad, and brought in every specialist they could, but in the end, the fungus invaded vital organs in the soldier’s body and he died"

Normally prior to employment of bio-weapons on the battlefield the user would have developed and had in the field ready to use some sort of treatment or inoculation for their own troops. Infection and death of Israeli soldiers will be seen as some sort of blowback.

"blowback: noun - an unforeseen and unwanted effect, result, or set of repercussions"

And to all this the infamous Japanese General Ishii of Unit 731 would say what?

Original story | Authored by Mimi Nguyen Ly via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

"The United States has destroyed the last of its declared chemical weapons stockpile at a military installation in Kentucky."

2. "The last of the chemical weapons stored at the US Army Depot in Pueblo are gone"

From https://www.cpr.org/  | story by Shanna Lewis and Caitlyn Kim | Jun. 22, 2023.

"During the past eight years, workers at the Pueblo site destroyed nearly 800,000 weapons filled with dangerous mustard gas, according to an announcement by the facility. The stockpile had been kept in earth-covered shelters there since the 1950s."

Comments:

* Process to destroy the existing stockpile chemical munitions laborious, time-consuming and expensive. And in all cases very strong safety protocols in place.

* Recall that no provisions at the time of manufacture [1950's] had been made for eventual destruction of stored and unused chemical munitions. American DoD should be given high marks for a job well done.

* Those facilities devoted to the destruction process will in turn need to be dismantled/decontaminated/disposed of. Finality achieved.

Concluding from Martin N. Stanton and in summary:

"The long period between August of 1945 and the present has contributed to the mistaken belief that nuclear weapons are somehow unique in the history of mankind and we really could refrain from their use.  This was never true.  Barring some miraculous 'Deus Machina' we’re about to enter a new era in human history.  We need to be thinking about what comes after the 2023 Ukrainian nuclear war."

"A military movement said that Russia appears to have shot itself in the foot, after several of its soldiers have been taken out due to cholera that was brought on by dodgy water"

"dodgy:  adjective | Evasive; shifty. Unsound, unstable, and unreliable. So risky as to require very deft handling."

Mad Vlad’s invading army has been ravaged by an outbreak of cholera just days after it hit a major dam in Ukraine, killing dozens and forcing tens of thousands to flee in terror.

"Atesh, a military movement made up from Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, said via its Telegram channel today (June 19) that its informants had revealed that dozens of Russian soldiers are being admitted to hospital to treat the deadly bacterial infection.":

Such was the force of the water that cemeteries and graves downstream have been opened with decaying corpses exposed and floating among the debris? So as reported. Contamination.

Thanks to https://www.naturalnews.com |  article 06/21/2023 // Arsenio Toledo.

"A high-ranking Russian general has alleged that the United States is planning to use drones to drop mosquitoes infected with malaria onto Russian soldiers in Ukraine."

"Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, commander of the Russian Armed Forces' Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, made this claim during an address televised by the Russian state-owned media as he also accused Ukraine of targeting the Nova Kakhovka dam and flooding the entire region."

Undoubtedly blame will be assessed to the "American" bio-weapon labs Ukraine! Weaponized malaria as a WEAPON of war. 

Flooding of an apocalyptic nature as creating a situation favorable for bio-warfare hardly limited to the Ukraine Conflict. Think World War Two and the Italian Campaign!

2. "Nazi mosquitoes drew blood on Italian front"

 Courtesy "The Sydney Morning Herald" |  February 15, 2006 — 

"ROME: The Nazis tried to halt the advance of British and American troops through Italy during World War II by unleashing malaria-carrying mosquitoes in what is believed to be the only biological warfare attack carried out in Europe, according to new research."

"It was meant to hinder the Allied push from the south and to punish the Italian people for what the Germans saw as treachery after Italy switched sides."

[...]

 "The Germans flooded the marshes that lay on the path into Rome from the south by reversing the pumps that drained them. They then introduced millions of larvae of Anopheles labranchiae, a species of malaria-carrying mosquito."

The Pontine marshes even during Roman time the legions marching through the area in the most expeditious manner possible no delay. Avoid the miasma if possible. 

On a planetary scale it is estimated that half the number of human beings that have ever lived [about 100 billion] have perished either from malaria or complications from contracting malaria!!

"* Two groups of anti-Kremlin Russian troops have launched attacks on Russian soil * Belgorod was hit by drone strikes overnight and several settlements were seized"

From the Daily Mail ^ | 5/23/2023 | David Averre.

"Russian authorities have ordered residents of nine villages in the Belgorod region bordering Ukraine to evacuate their homes after anti-Putin rebel groups began capturing territory on Russian soil . . . Regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed the aerial bombing raid had caused fires at government buildings and urged citizens to take shelter amid the rebel attacks."

This too that border-crossing raid and perhaps should frighten everyone!

2. "Russia evacuates nuclear warheads amid Ukraine incursion"

From Asia Times ^ 5/23/2023.

"Ukraine launched an operation into Russia in the morning of May 22 focused on the outskirts of Belgorod, where the Ukrainians initially took three settlements. A Russian border crossing in the Belgorod oblast was reportedly destroyed by artillery shelling from the territory of Ukraine. After that, the incursion of troops supported by armored vehicles from Ukraine into the Belgorod oblast began. This operation had both a political and strategic objective."

"The US is installing a network of sensors across Ukraine to detect a possible nuclear explosion and bursts of radiation, the New York Times reported."

"The sensors will be able to detect radiation from both a dirty bomb and a nuclear weapon activated in Ukraine, the report said."

[....]

"The sensors will presumably serve as deterrence because they would make Russian decision-makers aware the United States can expose the use of a nuclear weapon as a false-flag operation, the report cited the statement as saying."

The Russian will say a big NO and very emphatically so!! This has to do with depleted uranium munitions that are being provided to the Ukrainian from NATO stockpiles. Such will be the Russian perspective.

"Russian Soldiers Have Been Infected With Anthrax In Ukraine"

"Reports circulated this week that anthrax has been discovered in a Russian trench line and a small number of soldiers were infected."

From 19FortyFive | By | Peter Suciu.

"Anthrax Discovered in Ukraine: Conditions in parts of Ukraine increasingly resemble those of the First World War, as both sides have dug trench lines, and artillery duels are now all too commonplace. Reports circulated this week that anthrax has been discovered in a Russian trench line and a small number of soldiers were infected. Yet, this isn’t a case of biological or chemical warfare."

"Rather, the UK’s Telegraph newspaper reported that the soldiers had unearthed a burial site for cattle while digging a defensive line in southern Ukraine in the Kherson Oblast. The unit was ordered to immediate quarantine, while two soldiers were admitted to a hospital in the occupied city of Melitopol."

Mass burial site Ukraine, contaminated cattle having been found to be infected with anthrax, killed and then buried in a large pit. So is the way diseased cattle are normally disposed of.

Russian troops digging a trench line have accidentally uncovered the burial site and inadvertently exposed themselves to anthrax.

I strongly suspect the Russian is going to try to "make hay" of this story!

"make hay - verb | To take advantage of an opportunity."

Expect the Russian to conjecture that this an incident of the American biowarfare laboratories in Ukraine have released weaponized anthrax. Those "American biowarfare laboratories" in actuality Soviet-era biowarfare laboratories financed by the USA government not necessarily for the express purpose of creating bio-toxin agents.

Article thanks to www.thecanadafiles.com | Written by: Jeffrey S. Kaye | March 14, 2023.

"It was late April 1952 and the Korean War was nearing its second anniversary with no end in sight. In Canada, newspapers and the Canadian government erupted in fury when it was reported that the Canadian Peace Congress’ chairman implied that Canada may have supplied infected insects to U.S. forces, who were accused of bombing the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) and China with bacteriological or 'germ' weapons."

"Quite famously, the first reports of U.S. germ warfare in 1952 came during the dead of the Korean and Manchurian winter. Critics pointed to pictures the Communists released of insects wiggling on mounds of snow. They made much of the fact that it seemed absurd to think insects could be used as weapons in such a harsh climate."

YES indeed. Insects almost totally so during a period of sub-freezing temperatures either DIE or enter a TORPID state not remaining active. Insects during the winter time a poor VECTOR for bio-warfare agents. 

That allegation made the Canadian military at a secret bio-warfare laboratory by selective breeding of insects could create a cold-weather hardy insect remaining active during the winter.

"Fort Churchill related to experiments with insect cold-hardiness or perhaps the breeding of more cold resistant insects and bacteria to be used in germ warfare during the Korean War?"

The truth is out there but perhaps will never be known with 100 % certainty?

"Barak's Tuesday tweet addressed growing worries about the growing presence of ultra-nationalist and ultra-religious factions in Israel's government. Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionism party, for example, openly aspire to turn Israel into a theocracy."

Further and dig this of which I was not aware:

"That combination of facts [Israel possessing atomic munitions] means every dollar of US aid to Israel breaks American law."

"The use of chemical weapons in Syria has outraged the world. But it is easy to forget that Britain has used them – and that Winston Churchill was a powerful advocate for them"

"Secrecy was paramount. Britain's imperial general staff knew there would be outrage if it became known that the government was intending to use its secret stockpile of chemical weapons. But Winston Churchill, then secretary of state for war, brushed aside their concerns. As a long-term advocate of chemical warfare, he was determined to use them against the Russian Bolsheviks. In the summer of 1919, 94 years before the devastating strike in Syria, Churchill planned and executed a sustained chemical attack on northern Russia."

"Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space."
