Nuclear Copper - Book Release Interview​

May 11, 2025
Nuclear Copper. The Secret World of Nuclear Policing.

Nuclear Copper is a true story that delves into the fascinating and covert world of nuclear policing, as seen through the eyes of PC Okuhara. As Matt Okuhara became immersed in the intricacies of nuclear security, he quickly earned a position in the elite Strategic Escort Group (SEG). Alongside this extraordinary group of professionals, he embarked on a series of high-stakes assignments, safeguarding sensitive nuclear materials both domestically and abroad. In Nuclear Copper, readers are granted a rare glimpse into the clandestine world of safeguarding nuclear assets. Working hand-in-hand with international partners, PC Okuhara’s experiences are not confined to his home country. The narrative describes collaborative efforts with special forces, the French Marines, and the Japanese Coastguard. These international partnerships bring unique challenges and cultural dynamics. The risks of this work are omnipresent, and the consequences of failure are unthinkable. From identifying potential threats to uncovering attempts at nuclear espionage, the officers of the CNC navigate a world where precision, adaptability, and resolve are essential qualities.

Map reveals your nearest nuclear fallout shelter if major US cities are bombed​

The fear of a nuclear apocalypse has reached a level not seen in decades as leaders in the US, Israel, Iran, and Russia continue to warn about the start of 'all-out war.'

The world has been waiting to see if President Donald Trump will deploy US forces to strike Iran, which has refused to give up its development of a nuclear weapon, a move that could ignite World War III.

For everyday Americans, the only question that may matter in the minutes and seconds before a nuclear weapon strikes the US is where are the nearest fallout shelters.

A nuclear fallout shelter is designed to shield people from radioactive particles, known as fallout, that spread after a nuclear explosion.

Although they're not built to withstand the initial blast, extreme heat, and shockwaves of a nuclear explosion, they can act as a safe room for anyone who lives to see the aftermath.

Using tools like Google Maps and historical records from the Cold War, when most of these shelters were built, doomsday preppers have been able to find where thousands of them may still be standing.

Yah. Who's pumping out that garbage? The usual Fake-Nooze suspects at MSN.

Remember huddling under your desk at school for nuke drills? I was just a few years too young to partake in THAT fun-fest; but even five years later, in junior high, our science teacher (a no-nonsense man) took pains to explain how ridiculous it was.

Now we're back to Nuclear-Strike as No-Big-Thang...so long as we HAVE GUBBERMINT PROVIDE for all its lill chillunz....




If we get to that point, I'm just gonna get into my car...and drive right to Ground Zero, get it over with. Remember the sci-fi Doomsday novel Lucifer's Hammer? The blurb on the back cover, said: "The lucky ones died first"...

That pretty-much sums it. But the world is now in the sway of a Satanic cult oversupplied with printed-up fiat, and with not enough to do. I guess a life of leisure is hard - there's only so many sex-slaves you can buy. Once you move from your household staff, to teen pinup models, to children, to little boys...then, as Freud observed a century ago...then, you move into obsession with DEATH.

Club of Rome. Thomas Malthus. All the eco-panic merchants, softening us up for Depopulation.
 
In this one Canadian Prepper talks to author Mark Allan Rush. Posting as food for thought only. Take it fwiw and dyodd. It's sort of a tout for a book.

...or, do I trust the co-opted Elites in media, political as they are, opaque as they are, to frame the discussion properly?

Answer to the question: I do not. This country has seen maybe four statesmen, in 250 years, that I'd trust with such things.

We had checks and balances in government for a reason. But, as Franklin noted at the close of the Constitutional Convention, the government charter would only work until "The People become Corrupt, and require Despotic Government, being incapable of (living under) any other."

POWER OF DECISION - SECRET NUCLEAR WAR PLANS (Restored Version)

Premiered Apr 6, 2026
What actually happens when the President sends the signal that changes the world forever? It isn't just a button; it’s a grueling, high-pressure ritual of authentication keys and relentless countdowns hidden beneath the earth. We are stepping inside the Strategic Air Command (SAC) to reveal the secret procedures that transform strategic theory into catastrophic action.
This is what the 1958 film "Power of Decision" is about. Power of Decision is a formerly classified U.S. Air Force documentary-style film produced for the Strategic Air Command in the late 1950s that simulates the U.S. response to a Soviet nuclear attack. The film, which was not intended for public viewing at the time of its creation, depicts the procedures and command structure involved in launching "war plan 'Quick Strike'" from various military control centers.
The narrative follows the military personnel as they scramble bombers and missiles to retaliate against the Soviet Union, ultimately resulting in the deaths of millions across the globe, yet portraying the operation as a "success" from the Air Force's perspective. The film depicts a simulated response to a Soviet nuclear attack using real SAC assets of the era, including B-47, B-52, and B-58 bombers, as well as KC-135 tankers with mid-air refueling. Locations and Coverage of B-47 and/or B-52 activity at Andersen Air Force Base (AFB) Guam; Brize Norton AB, England; Eielson AFB, Alaska; Loring AFB, Maine; Castle AFB, California; Convair Plant, Ft. Worth, Texas; and Pinecastle AFT3, Florida. Also included is footage of Matador, Rascal and Goose missiles at Holloman AFB; and Thor, Atlas and Snark footage at Cape Canaveral, Florida. This version has been carefully restored from a 35-mm Master Interpositive.

Just some food for thought, nothing more. As usual, take this fwiw and dyodd. There's really not much to see so you may be better listening in one tab, playing around the forum in a different tab.
