This afternoon at about 4:00 PM eastern US Time, a Boeing E-6B "Mercury" took off from Washington, DC. This is the U.S. "Looking Glass" - airborne National Command Post to command US nuclear forces worldwide in the event ground stations are all destroyed.
As seen in the flight radar image below, the aircraft took off, flew south into southern North Carolina, turned southeast out into the Atlantic Ocean, and turned its Transponder OFF.
The Boeing E-6 Mercury (formerly Hermes) is an airborne command post and communications relay based on the Boeing 707. The original E-6A manufactured by Boeing's defense division entered service with the United States Navy in July 1989, replacing the EC-130Q.
This platform, now modified to the E-6B standard, conveys instructions from the National Command Authority to fleet ballistic missile submarines (see communication with submarines), a mission known as TACAMO ("Take Charge And Move Out").
The E-6B model deployed in October 1998 also has the ability to remotely control Minuteman ICBMs using the Airborne Launch Control System.
The E-6B replaced Air Force EC-135Cs in the "Looking Glass" role, providing command and control of U.S. nuclear forces should ground-based control become inoperable. With production lasting until 1991, the E-6 was the final new derivative of the Boeing 707 to be built.
"Looking Glass"
Looking Glass (or Operation Looking Glass) is the (historic) code name for an airborne command and control center operated by the United States.
In more recent years it has been more officially referred to as the ABNCP (Airborne National Command Post). It provides command and control of U.S. nuclear forces in the event that ground-based command centers have been destroyed or otherwise rendered inoperable.
In such an event, the general officer aboard the Looking Glass serves as the Airborne Emergency Action Officer (AEAO) and by law assumes the authority of the National Command Authority and could command execution of nuclear attacks.
The AEAO is supported by a battle staff of approximately 20 people, with another dozen responsible for the operation of the aircraft systems.
The name "Looking Glass," which is another name for a mirror, was chosen for the Airborne Command Post because the mission operates in parallel with the underground command post at Offutt Air Force Base.
Comments
The forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are estimated at about 3-4 mechanized battalions and at least one tank battalion! In total the Ukrainians have moved over 100 AFVs with the Russian forces being minimal!
Now they have managed within a few hours to advance to a depth of 20-25 km behind the front line, recapturing a number of areas
What if?
America would empty the silos (subs and Minutemen). Every bomber the could make it into the air would would head over the pole. Every tactical aircraft that could carry a nuke.....would tank up and head out.
Moscow would be crater lake 1000 years from now.
America can....and would....destroy every city over over 100k in Russia.
We would, in doing this, kill ~6 of 8 billion people on the planet, who depend on food from either America, Russia, or Ukraine to survive day-to-day each year.
And there is not the most slim of doubts in my mind.
We are very....very....good at what we do.
America can, and will, pull the trigger and exterminate 3/4 of all life on this planet, if need be.
Russia by adopting the new states into itself has presented NATO with a dilemma, in fact it has left it with only two choices neither of which will be to it's liking.
NATO is now on " The horns of a dilemma" see this excellent article by Scott Ritter:
https://tapnewswire.com/2022/10/scott-ritter-nato-in-the-horns-of-a-dilemma-after-former-ukrainian-regions-vote-to-join-russia/
NATO does not want DIRECT confrontation with Russia, only to use Ukrainians and others as cannon fodder in order to "Bleed Russia".
Having committed unconditionally to give Ukraine support it can not just withdraw, so what will it do?
We have heard the bluster from Jens Stoltenburg-sham elections! Who asked him for his opinion, it is none of his business!
Then we have the chorus of Ursula Van Leyden of the EU and Liz Truss of UK all singing from the same hymn sheet and making more threats of sanctions.
Russia, to quote Scott: has not just changed to rules it has changed the game". Game on NATO!
If NATO accepted Ukraine as a NATO member, then NATO would be thrust into a world war quickly when they are far from ready for a conflict of that size. The goal of the West is to contain the conflict within Ukraine at the same time managing the planned economic failure / collapse of the monetary system so as to bring in the new cashless system by 2024.
Yes they need a war for an excuse for the banking and economic failures. However, if the war goes too far, there won't be a system left over to control. The goal is to protract and prolong the Ukraine war not necessarily expand it. If it does expand, Poland would be the first sacrificial land to take the hit followed by Germany.
I was waiting for NATO to accept Ukraine into NATO as a check mate move against Russia. However, Europe would have fewer political options other than war if that happened as Russia would still move forward in the Donbas. So, NATO apparently decided to continue their policy of supplying "aide" to Ukraine, impose sanctions on Russia, and all the while claiming that they are not a part of the conflict. Political wiggle room.
At some point soon, Russia will call them out on this. Stop the shipments of weapons or it will be NO GAS for you and since you blew up our pipeline it may be no internet for you as well. Perhaps the undersea comm cables may have an "accident" of their own.
Heads up. By 2024, the Western central banks will change over to a new digital crypto style money system. The devastating economic crisis during the year of 2023 will lay the groundwork for a new Breton Woods like accord. Yes a reset is planned. Paper money will be done away with. That is their goal.
First-rate post, btw.
That got my attention. Electricity is something we all take for granted, but it may actually be an Achilles' heel.
We need to decentralize in power, personal transportation, logistics, money, defense, etc. Instead, the powers that be want to centralize and then control everything. Decentralization, by definition, can be accomplished one person at a time, as long as they can protect themselves from globalist bullies.
There's more @ http://www.jimstone.is/1/.tk8.html
America did it?
Wht do their denials matter?
There is now a story out reporting that the CIA warning to Germany about Nordstream attack was to warn them that the Ukrainians were planning to sabotage it.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/10/nord-stream-whodunnit-cia-fingers-ukrainians/
Of course, this may be to deflect blame from the U.S., because average Germans have already pretty much concluded the U.S. did it, and there is unwelcome blowback. Uh-oh ! Get a story out there to blame somebody else !
Probably there is enough blame to go around to the U.S AND Ukraine, because we probably supplied those hotheads with exact GPS coordinates, and tethered bombs to lower down.
I have seen some folks here mentioning CCP police stations operating in America right now. If you know any towns where these are located, can you reply to this message. Thanks
had little take-out windows:
Dim-sum, fried rice, wonton soup, teriyaki
fish balls, and really nice egg rolls.
How useful?
How freaking delicious.

Little bleachers out front to sit while you eat,

This is an obvious reference to Russia's military leadership.
Undoubtedly, a circle has been created consisting of "hawks" who demand purges at the top of the Ministry of Defense and beyond.
Yevgeny Primakov, head of a government agency that manages relations with Russians abroad, wrote that "we gave a Russian city to the enemy" for the first time since World War II
It's possible that the deep-state wants to keep the public in the dark about how close we truly are to world war 3 because it might end democrats chances of winning even rigged elections so they are waiting until after the mid-term elections and then they will announce we are at-war and that they are enacting a draft of all military age citizens.
( Thus no need for recruiting ads )
Once that happens and Biden becomes a war-time president, his re-election will be assured.
Wow. Sounds like McSniffy himself in his basement in 2020.
Not for the faint of heart
Is he right? This is simply for your review. I had to listen to this short video several times to let everything sink in... please don't burn me at the stake... this isn't an issue attacking the fundamentals of the Nicene Creed or the Apostles Creed.
Again, it's just for consideration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2BPCYL6RNQ&t=364s
just promised Zelinski that the USA would help
Ukraine retake the conquered lands, as well,
regaining all of Crimea.
By all means, economically, militarily,
Blinken stated, 'by all means necessary, '
All means necessary.
Any chance at peace gone now.
When is he planning to try this? I say bring it on and lets get this party started. As Honey Hooker used to say in the 70s Hustler. LET'S GET THE BALLS ROLLING.
but you can bet his dainty little hands
will never get dirty. That bastard has never
done a minutes work in his life.
Bottom line? Ukraine NOT getting into NATO.
Absolutely right. nAto is too scared to try it. And that faggot jens. Russia should hire a couple of MEN and go hunt that baz--TURD down and shoot him. Or blow his car up. When he is inside it.
Just to show WE CAN.
Those who haven't already read through
Scott's informative article, should.
He talks like Hal. Level headed, fearless.
The title is, NATO On The Horns of a Dilemma.
Excellent information.
GREAT article. Thanks Doug. It was not on SOTN today so thanks for the link.
The thing that he left unsaid is: when this is over, the world is going to have to deal with Russia. It is a large, powerful nation-state, a permanent member of the UN, major economic entity, etc. etc., and we cannot continue to treat it as a minor paraiah. Putting the op-ed on RT sends a signal to Russia that there are people in the West who understand this.
so
any victories against them, only hasten toward the inevitable.

The choice is make peace with them, or...
it's real simple. Play & prate on fools. It Is Not Winnable. STOP NOW (you won't)

What's wrong with dipshits like you? Speak plain English fool.
It looks like Russia is now responding with force and determination. Their delay was probably look upon as weakness by some, but I think the Russians are keeping to their word.
Some tough times ahead.

There has been no news of Ukraine's application for accelerated membership of NATO, what was the response from Jens Stoltenburg, or is this news item an indicator?
I have read Presidents Putin's voluminous speech, where here unequivocally sets out Russia's position and intent to defend it's values and territory, including the new states.
He says that negotiations should replace the current military action, but his speech has been derided and Ukraine answered with more violence.
If Ukraine has now been accepted as a full member of NATO then we have TOTAL WAR between Russia and NATO states, so the answer to the question is vital to our future!
whatsoever in allowing a quick climb into
NATO membership for pretty boy Zelinski.
Even though Zelinski may be doing a
double dance, NATO membership
is non the table.
they caught in a public bathroom up on
Capital Hill with a younger man a few years ago? Yes it was. Imagine how much he had to pay to
bury that story? Another compromised creep..
Surely the same story with many senators
and congressmen. Double players.
Men who do not know right from wrong.
Democrats And Republicans.
Sordid and compromised.
And us submarines will be going in circles trying to get non-existent urgent messages.
Sandy Hook } drills in vicinity
Boston bombing } drills in vicinity
Aurora CO movie theater shooting } drills in vicinity
Christmas party shooting in San Bernardino, CA } active shooter training in vicinity
Yeah, probably drills.
Why will America lose?
God the Holy Spirit has taken his hand of
protection off America.
God has removed his blessing.
This isn't rocket science.

My dad was stationed on Offutt and worked with the SAC. He never spoke of his work and my mother was instructed to never ask or consort with the other wives.
SAC is extremely powerful and well respected. Only the most dedicated can work inside.
And if anyone has watched "By Dawn's Early Light" (one of the early HBO movies from the 80s) you will notice that very early in the movie SAC at Offutt starts to raise their alert level over a target area they saying to be Russia and are showing to be Donetsk. You cannot make this stuff up.
Because, if Joe ever gets on looking glass
that's the first thing he'll ask for.
Same goes for the vice president and AF2

Answer: Use nukes.
Get ready people.
Still definitely worth looking at.
Just MORE projection from (how am I supposed to say this) the collective west. Apparently many here don't like me saying gringo and one reader recomended this term instead. But my contempt for them remains the same.

What is the nuke sniffer? America's strange plane that could detect Iranian nuclear tests visits the Gulf
The 'Constant Phoenix' lands in Kuwait as Iran intensifies its nuclear programme
Crew members of a US Air Force WC-135 'Constant Phoenix', a special-purpose aircraft used to detect nuclear explosions by analysing air samples from the atmosphere, conduct a ground inspection at Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport in Aceh Besar, Aceh province, on March 25, 2017, after making an emergency landing the day before. - Indonesia's government news agency reported on March 25 that the base commander said the aircraft, carrying some 20 crew members, made an emergency landing on March 24 after reporting a problem with one of its four engines.

Since the mid-1940s, the US Air Force has operated a nuclear explosions detection unit. A "bomb sniffing" plane called the Constant Phoenix plays a key role in this effort.
The unusual aircraft made its way to the Arabian Gulf and landed in Kuwait, according to online flight tracking services and reported by open-source analysis project Aleph.
The nuclear bomb-detecting plane arrived in the region as Iran intensifies its nuclear production project and faces off with the US over a potential new agreement on nuclear research and an end to sanctions.
Although the reason for the Phoenix's arrival is unknown, the history of the plane and its purpose could point to its current mission.
We are in S/E Wisconsin
Not EVERYTHING is the end of the world people. My goodness, how do you people sleep at night? Have some faith, pray and give your concerns to God; you are going to drive yourselves crazy.
If IT happens, you really cannot do a damn thing to stop the demons in dc, except pray.
Go Russia, God speed.
Yup definitely a downvote from a troll or someone that has a broken stick from their ass lolol
Matter?
That would be it.
Anyone can track US Mil aircraft (that have their transponders on) here, every day of the week:
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
In the right pane, under 'filter by DB flags', click on 'military' and then click on 'filter'.
Zoom out to show the entire continental us. Then in the right-pane, sort by the 'type' column.
There will usually be (daytime only) one or more E-6 Mercury, one or more E-4 Nightwatch, several E-3 Sentry (the 'doomsday trio'), as well numerous KC-135s to keep them all fed.
Night-time is different, of course. Skys clear. If those are up.....their transponders are off.
Different age/different rules, apparently.....
It would seem not hard to track a plane like this from a satellite. Most of what the US defense industry has done, costs a lot, and does not make us safe.
If a hyper-sonic missile were launched on DC this plane would never have gotten airborne.
DC seems like a really poor place to park it -- but that is where the human occupants would be.....
Who is in it now? If DC were destroyed what good would an airborne but empty plane do?
The US Sec of Defense can, and does, sometimes commandeer an E-6 to travel internationally (not this one though.....he's in Hawaii).
Training mission. On 'the last day', 50/50 odds the meat puppet they have to pick up is in DC. So, train for that.
third term will he calling the shots
or will it be dementia Joe shouting
orders in a nuclear strike ala Adolph
Hitler. I'd hate to picture that.
"...turned southeast out into the Atlantic Ocean,
and turned its Transponder OFF..."
"...conveys instructions from the National
Command Authority to fleet ballistic missile
submarines..."
Doesn't get any plainer than that now does it.
