The Therapeutic uses of Aloe Vera Barbadensis #TheSilentHealer #PoncedeLeon #FountainofYouth

A1 Overview; "Aloe vera is historically and symbolically dubbed the "silent healer" across cultural traditions, and its bioelectric impulses are translated into 432Hz ambient frequencies in sound-healing projects like Aloe Vera Vibrations"


Aloes flowering in a bay window in Southampton U.K. Mine often flower but unlike in their natural environment they do not produce sufficient flower head to make "flower remedies" (after Dr.Edward Bach et.al), this is unsurprising for (as also with crystals) such remedies should be "potentised" in the "in the vernacular".




"This track is created from the natural bio-electrical vibrations of an Aloe Vera plant, translated into gentle tones and blended with soft 432Hz harmonics. The sound carries a calming, cooling energy that supports deep relaxation, emotional balance, and inner clarity. As you listen, allow the subtle plant frequencies to soothe your breath, soften the mind, and restore a sense of peace within. A quiet space to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the present moment": https://insighttimer.com/BioMusicVibrations/video-guided-meditations/aloe-vera-vibrations-for-deep-calm-and-inner-healing

"Aloe vera is not a cactus though. It belongs to the Lily family, a relative of onion and garlic. The plant’s Latin name is aloe vera aloe barbadensis, but its common names include burn plant, lily of the desert, and elephant’s gall (“Herbs”). Its thick, spiny leaves grow in a rosette pattern, usually numbering 12 to 16. They are a greyish-green color often with small flecks of white running along the leaves, as are the leaves on my little aloe plant. Three to four of these leaves can be harvested every six to eight weeks without damaging a mature plant, and in these leaves lives the allure of the aloe plant: the gel. Aloe has been described as shrubby, but specimens can look quite grand when they flower. The flowers are yellow and tubular and grow in cylindrical racemes on a stalk that can reach 90 centimeters into the air (“Aloe”). The plant becomes a tower of striking yellow".."Egyptians called it “the plant of immortality,” according to Alasdair Barcroft and his historical account of the plant in For the people of Mesopotamia, aloe vera was used to ward off evil spirits, an ancient vampire vs. garlic tale. Hindus believed aloe was among the holy plants in the Garden of Eden and dubbed it the “silent healer” (Barcroft 18-19). In that small suburban backyard, in our world of little-girl imagination, we applied the gel to our skin, and though we didn’t know its name then, we understood its power, part of the magic that has existed in minds for millennia.

Aloe vera is known across cultural and linguistic borders as a “miracle” or “magic” plant. Inside the leaves is a colorless jelly-like substance comprising the parenchyma tissue of the plant – the source of all this magic (“Aloe”). I snap off a tip of one of the leaves on my aloe vera and touch the oozing jelly inside. It smells foul, but the gel is thick and wet. It looks soothing and restorative. This gel has been known to heal burns and skin abrasions; it’s a folk and alternative remedy for conditions including asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and osteoarthritis (“Herbs”). Chemical analysis has clarified some of the mystery surrounding this “miracle” plant, discovering that the gel contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, proteins, polysaccharides and biological stimulators (“Complete”). Today, it’s found in everything from skin products to yogurt": https://hfe-observatories.org/story/natures-healer-the-magic-and-memory-of-aloe-vera/

"



























I have found applications for aloe vera that don't immediately appear in the standard literature, such as packing the outside surface of the lungs in aloe gel as a topical treatment for many different respiratory toxin and particulate inhalation impactions and internally for stomach conditions and again following the ingestion of many different toxins and poisons, remember, however, that aloe vera is alkaline and full of water never use if contraindicated and always check the basic protocols (esp. with man made agents whose reactions are not commonly understood) regarding the treatment of any toxin, particulate or poison! The search for a way of properly hydrating damaged lung tissue is, however, surely the dream of many conventional physicians.

Regarding the Vernacular

Below is an example of the amount of flower head an aloe vera can produce in its natural environment.




As flower remedies require unbroken sunshine for the 3-5 hours they take to potentise and it is preferable to cover the surface of the water in the potentising vessel with fresh open flower head (esp. in the case of aloe which opens its blooms progressively) it is materially obvious that aloe vera flower essence should be potentised in the vernacular 🌞 It's profile should be of an essence that specifically deals with the emotional effects of trauma esp. when the physical and emotional aspects are in conflict or synergistic.

Filleting
 
If you wish to use natural aloe at home you will need to fillet it properly. This is no job for children as aloe leaf is tough and fairly thick so you will need a sharp knife (Nb. I use a straight blade not serrated). There are a good number of filleting tutorials on You Tube, here are a couple (Nb. I cut the end off at the pruned base of the leaf then cut the useable remainder -that with any hope of filleting successfully for useable gel, so you don't use the end- into rectangles slice off one edge at a slight angle, remove the remaining top part of the leaf above the gel then, flattening the leaf I fillet above the surface of the bottom leaf to remove only clear gel, any remaining leaf matter and yellowed gel is then removed -I use a stone board for this against which green spots of leaf matter or yellow slime show very clearly, the board is easy to clean & I keep the yellow matter separate from any gel I consume-):





..and one on gut health:


I try to use a very strict protocol when I ingest aloe because aloe contains non-active B12 a rare bacterium found active in only a number of plant based moulds, dairy & meat products, as Methylcobalamin in reputable supplements and as a yeast extract. One should not consume aloe until any active B12 source has passed through the system and not consume any active B12 until (ideally) the day following consumption. It is also very advisable to use alkaline biased or neutral water with which to "fast" your aloe (by allowing at least two or more hours to digest before eating anything). In totally ideal circumstances one would take the aloe in the morning around/before 10am then drink only water until 2-3pm eating a light snack then a modest evening meal avoiding too much acid, and any B12 sources, also being careful with sugars and leaning towards bitters for any teas or liquids following the fast. 
 I believe the inactive B12 in aloe vera gel improves reception of active B12 but its actions are blocked when they meet in the gut or in the bloodstream this is why you will feel "blocked" and depressed if you fail to properly follow the protocol (Nb. beware, many products have B12 added, stay away from those).



Aloe applied topically should also be pure gel although I use the outer leaf of the rectangles I cut as a hard surface against which I can squeeze out gel after filleting the top of the leaf. I cut the gel surface diagonally, quarter it then slice the remaining aloe "sacks" again. This gel I squeeze out onto the skin surface using the outer leaf as both a surface against which to compress the aloe sacks and a pad with which to transport the pure gel over my skin as I squeeze the more liquid, viscous gel out of the sacks. I also use my thumb and fingers to help break the sacks of gel as I spread it. This usually results in some cubes of gel remaining on the skin but these can be squeezed too or considered "hors de combat" (from viewing both videos I will also ensure that I don't cut right through the gel when creating these "nodules"). Aloe gel can be tricky stuff to use topically unless you use a liquidiser and my method ensures the gel is transported to precisely where you want it to go, not where it wants to go! #viscoussnitch
 Which brings us to topical uses, its use as a burn remedy, scar tissue healer and general skin tonic are well known, however, it is also ideal for healing any soft tissue, muscle, tendon, ligament injury and for all general wound healing esp. when used in conjunction with, but not at the same time as (esp. when utilising fresh gel), herbs like arnica and in-fact any preparation you want to penetrate into the skin as fully as possible. Use it on the hair by first wetting it, toweling off then taking a clean hair brush coated in gel brush the hair and leave the gel on for at least half an hour (Nb. I often leave mine on a lot longer but then I frequent chlorinated swimming pools!).
 I believe when applied on a shaved the scalp (or simply up to the hair line in the case of frontal lobe injury) it may also actually help heal brain injuries.
 Consuming aloe will also hydrate, mineralise and increase blood flow to virtually any injury anywhere on the body so internal consumption should also be considered when treating external wounds and other such injuries. Internal & external protocols can be employed at the same time in cases where immediate intervention is indicated or the condition is particularly serious.


Ponce de Leon claimed that the Fountain of Youth was in Florida, it is also believed by some that the Seminole Indians of Florida held sacred a spring around which aloe vera plants blossomed and that this was indeed their "Fountain of Youth". Presumably they too eschewed the eating of meat or dairy on days when they "ate the aloe".

The Ninth Circle Pt.3 Nuclear Leverage: Why Israel Started a Nuclear Conflict (or how Zionism holds a knife to both America's throat and groin) #DialaRide #NuclearBunkerBusters #B61-12 #MOSSAD #Epstein #Iran #Israel #NuclearWar #UnofficialNuclearProliferation #JCPOA #IranDeal



Documenting the story of unofficial nuclear proliferation is a tour of the rogues' gallery of international villainy. To do so properly is a long-term project to which few have (apparently), felt able to devote themselves. The entanglements are clear, however, for just as the truth about the purpose and dangers of civil nuclear power have been continually obfuscated and denied the truth about the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons internationally has been carefully concealed under a cloak of secrecy that in reality represents nothing more than the emperor's new apparel.
 From my own investigations over many decades I have drawn the conclusion that there has never been a time in human history when such a large percentage of the population were so very ignorant of the kinds of weapons which may be deployed against them by either an openly hostile foreign or actively treacherous domestic state. This may well be a function of the form in the case of nuclear weapons in that the existential nightmare the use of such weapons represents tends to preclude the easy (and more commonplace), formation of rational thought, however, may I suggest that such also represents a powerful denial of the true nature of the concomitant existential nightmare represented by our diminishing unsustainable resources and the effect their use has had on our global environment? Some may argue that nuclear power represents a possible solution to the issue of the CO2 production associated with the use of fossil fuels yet this is false in several regards, quote; 

"That limited and simplistic approach is scientifically and mathematically incorrect. If we take a good hard look at the carbon-footprint of nuclear power, we discover that it has the largest carbon footprint of any energy source other than the fossil fuels. Very large carbon emissions are generated by various different stages in the production of nuclear energy, thereby increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. Tons of carbon emissions are generated by the following activities which are all necessary in the production of nuclear energy:
  1. MINING - Uranium (or thorium).

  2. MILLING – transportation to millworks, taking the raw ore and converting it to “yellowcake” uranium ore.

  3. CONVERSION - Construction of the uranium conversion facility, transportation of the uranium “yellowcake” to a conversion facility, dissolving it to form UF6, conversion of “yellowcake” to UF6.

  4. ENRICHMENT - Construction of the uranium enrichment facility, construction of the cylinders used to transport the UF6, transportation of the UF6 to the enrichment facility, enrichment of the uranium.

  5. FUEL PELLETS - Formation of uranium fuel pellets, transportation of the uranium fuel pellets.

  6. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CONSTRUCTION - Construction of the nuclear power plant, with its massive amounts of concrete and steel, which will take several years of using heavy construction equipment to complete. Keep in mind that both steel and concrete production are carbon-intensive.

  7. SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS - Construction of the necessary infrastructure to support the nuclear power plant (roads, transmission lines, barge canals, etc.)

  8. GENERATORS - Use of heavy-duty diesel generators to run the cooling system during routine maintenance, refueling, shut downs resulting from increased summertime water temperatures, any SCRAM, and power outage emergencies.

  9. WASTE STORAGE - Building RadWaste storage facilities, building radwaste storage containers and transporting the waste to the storage facilities. Transfering RadWaste from one geographic location to another, across the country, or the ocean.

  10. WASTE PROCESSING - Building reprocessing facilities, transporting the radwaste to the reprocessing facility, reprocessing the radwaste, building storage for the radwaste generated by reprocessing.

  11. WASTE INCINERATION - Building radwaste incineration facilities, transporting the waste to the incineration facility, incinerating the RadWaste.

  12. WASTE VITRIFICATION - Building vitrification plants, transporting waste to vitrification plants, vitrifying the RadWaste involving heating the materials to very high temperatures.

  13. MONITORING OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE - carbon pollution generated by monitoring and guarding the radwaste for eternity.

  14. DECOMISSIONING AND DECONTAMINATION -decontaminating and demolishing the nuclear plants, reactors, enrichment facilities, and other support infrastructure.

  15. ACCIDENTS - mitigation and clean-up efforts on nuclear accidents-huge carbon contribution.

  16. DAMAGED REACTORS AND ACCIDENTS - Building sarcophagus structures around failed nuclear power facilities. Monitoring, securing and periodically re-entombing failed nuclear power facilities for all eternity.

There are more nuclear carbon-footprint considerations than the ones stated here, but this list is a good general start. No one source has actually calculated the carbon footprint for nuclear energy taking into consideration all of the above sources of carbon emissions.": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2023/03/depleted-uranium-use-is-nuclear-war.html

It is also true that the production of nuclear weapons (because -as we have examined repeatedly on Arafel-, it is in order to produce nuclear weapons that sovereign states feel able to spend the vast sums they do on -so-called-, civilian/commercial nuclear power plants), is hugely and disproportionally expensive and in-fact represents only a loss-leader to our totalitarian systems, quote;

"Britain’s first new nuclear plant in a generation at the Hinkley Point C site will face further delay, at a cost of €2.5bn to the French utility company EDF.

EDF said the first reactor at the site in Somerset will begin operations in 2030, a year later than planned – almost 13 years after construction work began – after a series of delays to the project.

The latest delay will wipe almost £3bn from the French state-owned developer’s accounts and take the total cost of building the nuclear plant to £35bn, or almost double the estimate of £18bn when it was given the green light in 2016. However, the final cost will be far higher once inflation is taken into account as EDF gives its cost estimates in 2015 prices.": https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/20/hinkley-point-c-delayed-to-2030-as-costs-climb-to-35bn

It should be self-evident that if we are spending such vast sums on nuclear power we cannot possibly be making the same investment in sustainable energy production (Nb. anyone who thinks nuclear power is a "sustainable" industry is seriously deluded think of the amount of waste storage -and the length of time such storage will be necessary-, should we only continue production for the next 50 years).

"Thou Shalt not Make a Machine in the Likeness of a Human Mind!" Dune, Frank Herbert

Herbert's admonition rings very true here for when I inquired of Google as to a direct comparison between the investment profile and expenditure of the U.K government with regard to nuclear power with that of (so-called), renewables both the "AI Overview" and the source material suggested simply obfuscated the issue by not providing figures for that into the alternative industry concentrating only on the proposed expenditure on nuclear projects whilst pointedly avoiding a direct comparison with planned expenditure on renewables. This is a very common occurrence with regard to the nuclear industry whose data and public profile are policed more assiduously than (almost?), any other, quote; 

"I highly recommend that you follow the link to: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/security/security-of-nuclear-facilities-and-material for you will discover that whilst conventional strikes against nuclear power plants are at least mentioned (although hardly discussed at any length), there is still no mention made of nuclear attacks.

 Those of us who have studied these issues are, I'm afraid, very far from surprised though, in-fact there is an aphorism within the anti-nuclear community that informs one that; "You can rely on the nuclear industry for one thing and one thing only lies!"": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2026/02/the-ninth-circle-pt2-truth-about.html

Quote; "AI Overview

UK investment in the energy sector is currently characterized by a "golden age of nuclear" policy, aimed at boosting energy security alongside massive, rapid investment in renewable energy

. While renewables like wind and solar have seen costs plummet—becoming much cheaper to deploy than nuclear—nuclear power is being funded to provide consistent "baseload" power, which renewable sources cannot do without storage. 

Investment Comparison: Nuclear vs. Sustainable Energy

  • Investment Focus & Strategy: The UK government has committed £14.2 billion to the construction of Sizewell C, aiming for it to power six million homes. A further £2.5 billion has been allocated to develop Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Conversely, investments in renewables have driven their share of electricity generation from 3% in 2000 to 42% in 2022.

  • Costs: Nuclear projects are notoriously expensive, with Hinkley Point C estimated at £22-£23 billion and Sizewell C potentially costing up to £38 billion. In contrast, the costs of renewable energy have decreased significantly, making them generally more cost-competitive, though they require additional investment in system flexibility.

  • Economic Impact: The nuclear industry generated £6.1 billion for the UK economy in 2021 and employs over 64,000 people. Nuclear jobs are often high-skilled and long-term, with workers receiving 33% higher compensation than those in the wind and solar sectors.

  • Environmental Impact: Both are considered low-carbon. Nuclear emits 10-15g/CO2 equivalent per kWh, which is competitive with wind and solar. However, nuclear faces challenges regarding waste management, while renewable energy, particularly offshore wind and tidal, is heavily promoted for sustainability.

  • Operational Reliability: Nuclear provides a consistent baseload, making it more reliable than intermittent renewables. However, nuclear projects often suffer from significant construction delays and cost overruns, unlike renewables."

Hinkley Point

The industry is also justifiably infamous for downplaying its safety problems and the seriousness of  incidents associated with same. Has anyone heard about this for instance? Quote;

"A small fire broke out today at a partly constructed nuclear power station in northern Japan, the third blaze at the plant this month. It comes a week after an earthquake caused a radioactive spillage at another atomic plant.

The operator, Hokkaido Electric Power (Hepco), said there was no danger of a radiation leak and there were no injuries during the incident at the Tomari plant.

Two other reactors at Tomari were operating normally, it said.

The Kyodo news agency said investigators found damage to electrical wiring and suspected foul play, but the operator was unavailable to comment.

The fire came eight days after an earthquake caused radiation leaks at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant - which generates the most electricity of nuclear power stations worldwide.

International inspectors were due to visit the Kashiwazaki plant in the aftermath of the quake, in which 400 drums of low-level radioactive waste fell over, with about 40 losing their lids and spilling their contents.

The spillage was one of more than 50 malfunctions at the plant in the immediate aftermath of the quake. The operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), was criticised for failing to deal with the blaze and for initially under-reporting the scale of the radioactive leaks.

The Kashiwazaki plant has been closed indefinitely and Japan's 54 other nuclear power stations have been ordered to carry out emergency safety checks*.": https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/jul/24/nuclear.japan

*Italics mine. Nb. This four years before the Fukushima disaster!


Quote; "Ask yourselves how it has come to be acceptable for, for instance; The Russian and American presidents (ostensibly -and in reality- gnashing their teeth over Poland), to cabal themselves during the recent summit in Tokyo, get their heads together on how to repair the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa reactor (http://www.stwr.org/land-energy-water/nuclear-power-no-panacea-critics-say.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihama_Nuclear_Power_Plant http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/features/earthquake-fire-and-nuclear-l/  -Edited 11/12/10-), and keep the whole affair from the public?": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2016/07/hinkleypoint-did-you-hear-one-about.html

Israel

"It's the economy stupid!" Indeed for since the oil crisis of the 1970s when the Arab dominated Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), decided to punish the U.S and other western nations for their support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War and embargoed oil supplies to these countries one of the consequences has been that the U.S has increased its support for Zionist extremism as a means of manufacturing consent for the acquisition of major oil fields and their associated production facilities within the region. This marriage of convenience has had major consequences for all those countries once threatened by the flexing of OPEC's muscle entailing a "Zionisation" of politics that has manifested in the total corruption of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as a bulwark against bolshevism (a threat that now no longer exists), and transformed it into a security service that works on the behalf of the interests of the western elites by supporting their (unsustainable), corporate structure.
 The notion of sustainability is key here because it throws a light on the motivations and true psychological profile of those most concerned with the promotion of such conflicts. The fossil fuel resource is of-course non-renewable which presents an awful problem to post-Industrial Revolution regimes whose governmental, legislative and socio-political structures are based almost entirely on the exploitation of such (I hesitate to call them "economies" because -strictly speaking-, they are not, quote;

"..we can see how closely related the notions of ecology and economics really are, this seems to indicate that the Industrial Revolution (esp.), saw a perversion of the language describing transaction/exchange in order to underpin a Social-Darwinist model of human evolution, allow this exploitative model to gain ascendancy and fulfil (esp.), capitalism’s imperial and “manifest destiny”. It may, therefore, be the case that a misapprehension of the nature of economic theory has stemmed directly from the exploitation of non-renewable resources.": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2021/06/a-dangerous-conflation-socialism.html ).

The position our post Industrial Revolution states are now in is, therefore, increasingly desperate in nature something that is shown most clearly by the apparently indeterminate nature of the U.S administration's raison d'etre for their current aggression towards Iran*, quote; 

"Regime change, nuclear threat – or something else? US officials seem unable to land on one coherent reason for war.

When the United States launched Operation Epic Fury last Saturday, the Trump administration had a major communications question to figure out: how to explain to the American public, Congress, and the world why it had just started a war with Iran.

During war time, talking points and propaganda reflexively fly in every direction, but the Trump administration still hasn’t been able to land on one coherent answer.

Some contradict each other, and some contradict Donald Trump himself. Some – delivered hours apart by senior officials – are flatly incompatible.": https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/07/trump-rationale-war-iran-story

*Although many suspect that the primary motive force on this particular occasion is far more personal in nature, quote;

"According to this report, the video recording of Bill Clinton raping this 13-year-old girl child was “created/engineeredby Israel’s Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (MOSSAS), “Clothing Shop Network(Магазин/одежды/חנות בגדים) whose main “organizer/facilitatoris the "international man of mystery” Jeffrey Epstein...

"MOSSAD'S “Clothing Shop Network, this report explains, was originated in the early 1980’s by one of the most secretive billionaires in American named Leslie Wexner and whose father (Harry Wexner—changed from Hagan Wexelstein) emigrated to the United States in the late 1930’s from/the former Soviet Union.
The “Clothing Shop Networkname itself, this report continues, was derived from Leslie Wexner being one of America’s top clothiers—and who owns the US-based fashion retailers L.Brands and Victoria's Secret.": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2016/10/the-horrible-cant-possibly-be-true.html


 
No matter how distasteful to those who haven't already sold-their-souls the truth is that such activities are considered legitimate tools of statecraft especially by the administrations of those countries which posses atomic weapons.

Entanglement

As with the exploitation of the fears of mankind with regard to alien invasion the fear of nuclear war has enabled the most Machiavellian of policies to be quietly instituted within the regimes of those states who posses nuclear weapons (concomitantly affecting all the other states and peoples on the planet), resulting in an almost ubiquitous Pentagon Paper Mentality establishing and reproducing itself within their populations. 

Quote; "Today Drop Site News is publishing a landmark investigation about the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza by British journalist Owen Jones. His report is based on interviews with 13 journalists and other BBC staffers who offer remarkable insights into how senior figures within the BBC’s news operation skewed stories in favor of Israel’s narratives and repeatedly dismissed objections registered by scores of staffers who, throughout the past 14 months, demanded that the network uphold its commitment to impartiality and fairness. Jones’s investigation of the BBC has three main components: a deeply reported look into the internal complaints from BBC journalists, a quantitative assessment of how the BBC characterizes the year-long siege on Gaza, and a review of the histories of the people behind the coverage—and, in particular, one editor, Raffi Berg": https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/bbc-civil-war-gaza-israel-biased-coverage


Meanwhile the license payers cower under their stones hoping that the "inconvenient truth" will somehow magically disappear.

"It's on account of all the Al-Gore-isms dear!"

It is the concern that oil supplies be assured to the west that has enabled Israel to not only develop but also acquire nuclear weapons, quote;

"..the Obama administration confirmed  "that it is reserving the right to use nuclear weapons against Iran" for its non-compliance with US demands regarding its alleged (nonexistent) nuclear weapons program. (U.S. Nuclear Option on Iran Linked to Israeli Attack Threat - IPS ipsnews.net, April 23, 2010). The Obama administration has also intimated that it would use nukes in the case of an Iranian response to an Israeli attack on Iran. (Ibid). Israel has also drawn up its own "secret plans" to bomb Iran with tactical nuclear weapons:
"Israeli military commanders believe conventional strikes may no longer be enough to annihilate increasingly well-defended enrichment facilities. Several have been built beneath at least 70ft of concrete and rock. However, the nuclear-tipped bunker-busters 
would be used only if a conventional attack was ruled out and if the United States declined to intervene, senior sources said." (Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran - Times Online, January 7, 2007) Obama's statements on the use of nuclear weapons against Iran and North Korea are consistent with post 9/11 US nuclear weapons doctrine, which allows for the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the conventional war theater.* 

Through a propaganda campaign which has enlisted the support of "authoritative" nuclear scientists, mini-nukes are upheld as an instrument of peace, namely a means to combating "Islamic terrorism" and instating Western style "democracy" in Iran. The low-yield nukes have been cleared for "battlefield use". They are slated to be used against Iran and Syria in the next stage of America's "war on Terrorism" alongside conventional weapons.
"Administration officials argue that low-yield nuclear weapons are needed as a credible deterrent against rogue states. [Iran, Syria, North Korea] Their logic is that existing nuclear weapons are too destructive to be used except in a full-scale nuclear war. Potential enemies realize this, thus they do not consider the threat of nuclear retaliation to be credible. However, low-yield nuclear weapons are less destructive, thus might conceivably be used. That would make them more effective as a deterrent." (Opponents Surprised By Elimination of Nuke Research Funds Defense News November 29, 2004)
The preferred nuclear weapon to be used against Iran are tactical nuclear weapons (Made in America), namely bunker buster bombs with nuclear warheads (e.g. B61.11), with an explosive capacity between one third to six times a Hiroshima bomb. The B61-11 is the "nuclear version" of the "conventional"  BLU 113. or Guided Bomb Unit GBU-28. It can be delivered in much same way as the conventional bunker buster bomb. (See Michel Chossudovsky, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO112C.html, see also http://www.thebulletin.org/article_nn.php?art_ofn=jf03norris) . While the US does not contemplate the use of strategic thermonuclear weapons against Iran, Israel's nuclear 
arsenal is largely composed of thermonuclear bombs which are deployed and could be used in a war with Iran. Under Israel's Jericho‐III missile system with a range between 4,800 km to 6,500 km, all Iran would be within reach." Go to: https://www.alainet.org/en/active/40327

"As the U.S has spread the B-61 "bunker-buster" around Europe Israel's stick-to-beat the Americans with has been the Israeli nuclear program, the supply of smaller U.S designed bombs has no doubt been intended to ensure both "correct" somewhat "limited" use by Israel and to limit the possibility of either failure or explosive accident (which is how the U.S has unofficially justified supplying them to the Israelis to the international community -the implication also being that these bunker-busting weapons are primarily considered as for use against Iran-).": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2018/03/update-on-unofficial-nuclear.html 

Quote; "AI Overview

the B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb is a "dial-a-yield" weapon, allowing the military to adjust its explosive yield before launch

. This redesigned bomb, intended for both strategic and tactical use, features variable yield technology with a range of approximately 0.3 to 50 kilotons of TNT. It is designed to be highly accurate. 

Key Details About the B61-12:

  • Variable Yield: Operators can select from multiple yield options to tailor the destructive force for specific targets.

  • Purpose: As a modern iteration of the B61 series, it is designed for precision, potentially lowering collateral damage compared to higher-yield, older weapons.

  • Capability: It is designed for external carriage by high-speed aircraft.

  • Testing: The B61-12 has undergone extensive testing, including with the F-15E Strike Eagle, confirming its functionality, arming, and targeting capabilities. 

The B61-12 is part of a broader U.S. nuclear modernization effort, with some debate regarding its impact on non-proliferation*."

Cut Throats Walking the Razor's Edge

It seems it was not in the interests of the corporate elite to make terms with Iran regarding its nuclear program, quote;


"The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the "Iran nuclear deal" or the "Iran deal".

The JCPOA ended some of the sanctions on Iran while suspending others, subject to waivers. These include waivers of oil sanctions implemented in January 2012, which require periodic re-certification. Throughout 2017 Trump contemplated not re-certifying, and thus effectively pulling out of the deal.[25] According to Jarrett Blanc of the Obama administration, since the JCPOA is not a treaty but an agreement between several countries, it has no formal provisions for withdrawal, but a member of the deal could stop complying with its obligations.[25]

Following Trump's denial of the deal, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the JCPOA was a firm decision and that no single country could break it. She proposed a "collective process" to preserve the deal, saying, "This deal is not a bilateral agreement ... The international community, and the European Union with it, has clearly indicated that the deal is, and will, continue to be in place."[26] French President Emmanuel Macron warned Trump not to withdraw from the deal, and told German magazine Der Spiegel that doing so "would open the Pandora's box. There could be war."[27] The Global Times, a Chinese newspaper, wrote that America's reputation as a major power would be undermined in the eyes of the world if it reneged on a deal simply because of a transition in government.[28]

Political influences and decisions

Some reports suggest that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "Iran Lied*" presentation influenced the withdrawal.[29][30] A little more than a week after Netanyahu's presentation, Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the deal.[31][30] He announced the withdrawal during a speech at the White House on May 8, 2018, saying, "the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction: that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program."[32]": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_withdrawal_from_the_Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action

*It's possible I don't trust nuclear powered states any further than I can run away from them, however, proportionality is certainly an issue here if, as all the evidence suggests, Israel has already facilitated the use of its own nuclear weapons by supplying them to the Saudis under the (get this), "Good Neighbour Policy" and allowing them to be used on the poor Yemenis (no coincidence of-course that the Yemeni Houthis are supported by the Iranian regime).

I strongly urge you to view the video evidence for yourselves:






Nb. The type of pixilation seen on much of this footage is a result of ionizing radiation interacting with the technology of digital capture, quote;

Quote; "AI Overview

Atomic blasts (and high radiation environments) cause a "static-like" pixelation or "dancing white dots" effect on digital cameras (digicams) because high-energy ionizing radiation (gamma rays, particles) hits the image sensor directly.

How Radiation Causes Pixelation:

  • Sensor Saturation: Digital camera sensors (CMOS/CCD) detect light by converting photons into electrical charge. High-energy radiation acts like an intense, invisible light, overwhelming individual pixels and forcing them to maximum brightness, creating white or coloured spots on the image.

  • "Hot Pixels" and Noise: The radiation causes "noise" that resembles static, where the intensity of the noise increases with the strength of the radiation field.

  • Bit Flips: In extreme environments, the gamma radiation can cause "bit flips" in the camera's memory, corrupting the image file or creating random, distorted pixels.

  • Visible Tracks: If particles hit the sensor at an angle, they can create short, bright streaks or lines, rather than just single-pixel dots. 

  • Chernobyl/Nuclear Sites: Footage taken inside high-radiation areas, such as the Chernobyl sarcophagus, frequently shows this dancing, pixelated static because the radiation is constant and intense.

  • Nuclear Test Films: Early nuclear test films often appear black and white because they used specialized, heavily filtered, and slow-acting film to prevent the intense light of the blast from destroying the image (or the camera).

  • Space/High Altitude: Similar effects are seen in cameras in space due to cosmic rays hitting the sensors. 

This phenomenon is not a failure of the digital zoom, but a physical interaction between ionizing radiation and the camera's imaging technology."

Profiling

Quote; "Explaining Israel's aberrant behaviour is not that difficult either, spoiled children who are rewarded when they behave like mavericks develop an inflated opinion of themselves 
and they make mistakes. No matter how hard the Deep State attempts to obscure the use of tactical nukes by the "Israel ibn Saud" alliance (incl. indulging in the wholesale breach of the human rights of the people of Yemen by trapping them within a war zone the Powers that Be don't want the prying eyes or open ears of aid agency workers or journalists to penetrate -an apparently somewhat desperate and panicked reaction-), the truth will out but let's hope it does so before another and bigger theatre of war is opened in either Korea or Iran and the initial flash of the Yemen strike is obscured by the fog of a larger nuclear war.
 There is however a more subtle but equally plausible narrative, clearly the opinion analysts and manufacturers (both inside and outside), of The State Dept. have been exercised by the questions (and this for some time); "Does the public (both at home and abroad), now consider a limited nuclear exchange (or the asymmetrical use of such weapons in specific circumstances), to be a different animal to that of a full strategic exchange?" ..(and), .. "Can we make the limited "battlefield" (a somewhat loose term as applied here), use of lower yield nuclear weapons acceptable?" So perhaps the PtB thought; "We'll let the Israelis drop one of theirs on Yemen and see if anyone jumps!" Outlandish? Not really when one considers just how much time and energy has gone into both the continuing Korean War and preparing for possible conflict with Iran, to put it in cold economic terms; "It's worth a lot more than are a few more dead or outraged civilians in one of the poorest countries in the world" (that's "to them" of-course). Maybe it's a bit of both though (as usual in-fact when it comes to U.S foreign policy), with the right-hand not really knowing what the left-hand is doing. 
 Politicking is just that, however, 
international law states that if the Saudis and Israelis dropped a tactical nuke on Yemen this was a criminal act and a case should be brought against them and heard under the fullest of international and public scrutinies.": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2018/03/update-on-unofficial-nuclear.html

Alamogordo

This is not the first time that nuclear proliferation has driven a clandestine international agenda either, quote;

"..it is necessary to examine the chronology of the events which lead to the first Gulf conflict. Saddam Hussein (a former ally of The West), had undoubtedly been attempting to develop a viable nuclear weapon prior to “Desert Storm”, his reactors (with the French technicians still in them!), were bombed by the trigger happy Israelis precisely in order to prevent him from doing so.  America (“as usual” terrified of their Frankensteinian creation and anxious to secure the oil supply they were being denied by his regime),  were at that time being thwarted in their ambitions by an international community which was far less subservient than the “United Nations” which are now living far more deeply in the shadow of the post Yugoslavian conflicts effect on the notion of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of nation states that has so coloured international relations in recent decades (esp. with regard to The Middle East).  Even George Bush senior  had been unable to break the deadlock, however if one can “suspend disbelief” one can imagine that both The Pentagon and the CIA had been devising strategies with which to remove such obstacles to action (of which Mr. Bush was of-course fully aware), one of which was to provoke or “encourage” an attack on one of his oil rich neighbours (something that Saddam would “jump at” at the time in order to refill his treasury following Iraq’s bloody and costly war with Iran). In order to facilitate this it would be necessary to somehow deceive Saddam as to America’s true interests in the region as not even he would risk direct conflict with the most powerful military machine on the planet. Such a deception would however risk showing America’s hand to the international community in a way that even Bush senior felt unable to justify and therefore these plans remained shelved until such time as the political climate became more favourable. Around this time however certain documents were stolen from the United States which were to provide precisely the right impetus with which to change the weather. It seems that although America had secured the necessary technical documents which would enable one to produce a viable fusion weapon (something Saddam did not have the industrial or financial ware-withal to do in any-case), the original Alamogordo trinity test specifications for a fission bomb were not held under such tight security and were stolen  (“rumour has it” by an Asian “freelancer”), and then sold to the Iraqi regime. Bush senior then “green-lighted” the operation that would lead to “Desert Storm” (go to: http://rense.com/general69/41.htm  “How Bush Tricked Saddam into Invading Kuwait “The April Glaspie Interview”). As you can see this information is extant (thank you Adel Darwish and Gregory Alexander –“Unholy Babylon” Gollancz 1991-).": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2013/09/desert-storm-saddam-bomb-and-almagordo.html

Paper Tigers?

The problem with Pentagon Paper Mentalities though is that they are not paper-tigers! They are extraordinarily dangerous and should they be allowed to continue (esp. beyond any "laissez-faire" sell-by-date), they invariably dish out severe maulings to those who ignore their presence and a nuclear mauling is something that should terrify all of us, furthermore, as is understood by many, any open nuclear confrontation on any scale will irreversibly change the nature of both national and international socio-political landscapes. That this might further enable oppression (esp. within the nuclear armed states), is a factor we cannot afford to overlook when attempting to prevent such an eventuality; "Qui bono?"
