Why was a missile launched from Los Angeles harbor?

Armageddon, Missle launch from LA

An unannounced missile launch from Los Angeles, California harbor

CBS news. Someone, obviously Obama, launched an intercontinental missile from Los Angeles harbor last night just after sunset. This was an obvious timing to make the missile as visible as possible for easy viewing by the public and the media. Because of its location and timing it was obviously intended to send a message to all concerned that whoever launched that missile had the power to strike anyone, anywhere at any time in the world at their choosing. It had to be launched by a US submarine because if it were a foreign one doing the launch so near a major American city it would do far more than send a message. It would be so provocative as to be a declaration of war, or at least it could easily be declared as such, and that would be far too risky for any sane politician. Unfortunately all politicians are not totally sane.

Notice in the video that the airplane banks to keep the missile in optimum view from out the front window. Random alignments this accurate are rare so it might have been intentional.

The missile launch site from off the Los Angeles coast.

The launch site was well within the continental shelf in water about 2400 feet deep. That is great for submarines but makes their detection a near certainty by the underwater detectors that have been reportedly in place since the 1960s and without doubt kept in absolutely updated condition. The submarine would probably have been well known before the launch and the tremendous noise of the launch would make its location detectable clear across the ocean.

Therefore, the only logical assumption is that Obama launched this missile to emphasize the importance of his conversations while abroad. And why could that possibly be just now? Who could the message possibly be being sent to at this time? It’s obvious! To the people about to get an atomic bomb in Iran to cease and desist instantly and for them to permit onsite inspections immediately to prove that they are cooperating. Trust but verify.

Since the Iranians have been adamant about their right to possess these Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) and their repeated declaration that they will destroy Israel when they do have them, then the only option left to Israel and its big brother the US is to destroy those bomb-making facilities before the bombs are made. Unfortunately, the Iranians have prevented an easy destruction, such as the Israelis carried out against Syria’s A-bomb making intentions, by burying them deep underground. The only sure way to destroy these facilities is with atomic weapons. That of course will create a lot of radioactive fallout over India and Pakistan and China all of whom have atomic weapons themselves and who might strike back at the US. So, the question comes as to the timing of the strike.

Will the US strike when Obama is in India? No, that is very unlikely because it would be impossible to protect him. A period of great danger is when he is in Air Force One on his flight back to his home country and he could literally vanish and be almost anywhere in the world for the next day or two. After an attack, if one happened, he would probably be invisible for a week and possibly for a month or more. If the Iranians saw the light in the next couple of days they would have to make an extreme gesture of conciliation but in the past they have shown rigidity and obstinateness and will most likely do that again. Their last card would be to call on their allies to help them; the only ones of any possible help would be Russia, China or remotely India or Pakistan. Russia has been their most worrisome enemy for a long time but China desperately wants their oil and will do almost anything to get it. India and Pakistan don’t have realistic military clout against the US and would be crazy to pick a fight to defend a county they don’t much like anyway. So the only possibility for any help will come from China. Iran at the last moment might claim they already have a bomb and have secretly hidden it in an American city but that would probably hasten their demise.

Therefore, the message sent by this missile launch was to China. I think they will get the message because their military as well as industrial strength is growing very fast at the moment and in five or ten years, possibly a little longer, they will be militarily stronger than the US in some ways. So from their point of view they are far better off to wait a while and not to support Iran in their nuclear weapons acquisition. Thus, they will be forced to concede that a little fallout, no more than their own atomic test bombs, will be better than annihilation. Iran has only an ideological and religious complaint with Israel. Theirs is a war of words and ideas but not of existence of their lives unless they choose to make it so. But China has an existential problem and one of maximizing the growth of their whole society and they have other options for getting oil.

It appears to me that Obama’s trip to India was to clarify these issues. The timing right after the US midterm elections gives him two years to justify his actions. It is unlikely that other nations will vocally support his actions but on the other hand they will all be grateful that Iran doesn’t have the bomb and use it to destroy the Holy Land and threaten them personally. So, after a period of condemnation the whole world will go back to business as usual and everyone will keep their heads tucked in a little lower. That’s the hope. I wish the EarthArk were in place!

This is a last desperate grab at trying to avoid Armageddon.

After reviewing this video footage it looks like a high flying jet airplane contrail coming in from a distant location like Hawaii. That would have been obvious to the people who shot this video but by presenting it in its clipped form it is easy to make an inappropriate interpretation, which I did. The way the video was shot and edited for broadcast made it seem that the reporters had seen the vapor trail begin at the ocean’s surface. Watch the video clip above at 0:04 seconds into the obviously longer original video. Their cropping of time and borders made the vapor trail appear to be coming from the nearby ocean rather than from above the distant ocean.

 

Notice how they cropped the photo so you can't see the ocean.

 

And again at 1:31 they corrupt a true interpretation by covering the horizon with their anti-informative “MYSTERIOUS MISSILE LIGHTS UP THE SKY OVER THE PACIFIC” so we viewers can’t see it properly. Furthermore, if the clip had lasted longer it would have shown an airplane flying overhead instead of a missile going out to sea, which no doubt the cameraman observed but didn’t report. I have watched airplanes coming in from Hawaii at sunset and you can see them for twenty minutes or more because they are at such a high altitude and brilliantly back lit by the setting sun, just like this one. But when you are on site there is no possibility of mistaking them for a missile rising from the sea. This was crappy reporting at its most manipulative and disgusting and I was totally duped by it. These guys’ careers should be terminated for clearly lying to their public and I should be chastised for being duped.
