‘More power to redheads’: Brethren leader backs Hanson, building nuclear bombs

The separatist Exclusive Brethren, whose secretive multimillion-dollar campaign supporting the Coalition at the last federal election is under intense scrutiny, has swung behind One Nation after its leader praised the “red-haired lady” at a recent religious meeting.

As well as backing One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, Brethren “Elect Vessel” Bruce Hales told his flock Australia should use its uranium to “build a few bombs”, to obliterate Iran and that the Brethren needed to “overcome … our Jewishness”.

...


“God’s resources are limitless,” he told the flock. “See, that’s the trouble, part of the trouble with this government in this country, is they want to leave all the resources in the ground. How thick could you get?

From our partners
“Oil and bauxite … coal … gas … We ought to get enough uranium together and build a few bombs,” Hales said. “So I hope that red-haired lady gets a chance. More power to the redheads.”




(Under Australia’s charity rules, “a religious charity can rank policies but must not endorse candidates or do anything that could be perceived as partisan”, she said.)

The trouble with nukes is when you have them other countries
lock in coordinates to target you.

Oh noes. The whirling dervish is at it again. A jump to the left, a jump to the right. And a singular lack of recorded policy.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

We are no more or less targeted whether or not we have nuclear weapons. The factor in war is "need".

Got a link for this from One Nation or did you pluck this from your arse?

Bullshit - nuclear stations are not bomb factories...and your beloved Labor government has already come out (wow - some closet) and said that the AI factories which need masses of power might have to bring their own modular nuclear power stations..... you know - the submarine etc type with the latest technology such as molten salt cooling and incredible safety?

To gain AI metadata - and watch for the deal this government wants to get it in here - access to every detail of YOU, dopey, at a cut price or as part of the deal for operating here ... something to put the Nazi and Stalinist propensity to keep records of 'dissidents' and so forth in the very dim shade.... and they won't be rounding up mad Mussos etc bent on murder or lunatic trannies who want to kill women who oppose them (what about the Tranosphere?) - they will be rounding up the 'dissidents' who disapprove of their way of ruining the country.. meaning me for a start... I'm an enemy of the state and proudly so - to be an enemy of this state is an honour.

So they actually accept and understand the concept of the need to provide constant and reliable power and much more cheaply than their renewables madness (once we get rid of the privatised madness component) ... but they are now so deeply invested in their renewables fantasy that they can't just come out and say it, so they are now speaking with forked tongue.

To grow its economy and get ahead - along the lines I have suggested over and over - Australia needs a solid base of power - and nuclear is a third of the cost over sixty years that 'renewables' are, not even taking into account the difficulty of disposing of old and broken fans and such.

Instead of throwing the nuclear waste down the deepest mines outback - they might have to throw the toxic fan blades and such down there.... WTF?

Australia lacks the capacity to build nuke bombs.... this is all fantasy and clap-trap.

Now marketing it to the US.... that's different, but they won't nuke Iran anyway - since the idea is that the majority of good Persians don't want their rotten government as it is.. and the strategy is to undermine that until it collapses under the weight of popular pressure, and the Iranians will develop a more moderate form of government, maybe even a kind of democracy.

White Man's colonisation in the 21st Century!!!

We'll drag them all into the family of nations no matter how much they hate the idea!!!

No country should have nuclear weapons -

it's disgraceful and shows the weakness of the UN.

By the way, when are you kangaroo rooters going to get your own bomb?


You know, when Trump attacks your "shithole" of a country?


Make a deal with the Chinese.

Australia has the capability to build effective nuclear weapons. We have the know-how, and facilities.

We don't - it would take a massive multi $billion industry to produce them
that would be impossible to keep under wraps.

They would certainly be targeting Pine gap -

So having nukes does not make much difference in respect of becoming target.

nations point nukes at 100s of millions of people and no sanctions are made against them.

It costs about $80 million to make a single high yeilding nuclear warhead and have it fit to an intercontinental ballistic missile. There are probably a lot of things going on in Australia that is not publicly known, especially by you, Bobby.

Probably because most nations that can afford to host nuclear weapons are also nations that can afford to buy a lot of things from other countries. Putting sanctions on those countries does hurt trade.

I don't know what the defensive capabilities Pine Gap has at their disposal. It might be possible to have the nuclear missile shot out of the sky from a long distance.

Just last night on News 24 (I turn it on when there's nothing else) - David Jennings said China under Xi was developing nuclear BOMB making facilities, spread out to make them difficult to take out - and has currently 400 bombs and looks to improve the number to 1500, so as to enable sabre-rattling and 'international diplomacy' at a whole new level (of gangsterism)..........

Now I don't know about you Pilgrims here.... but I'm wondering if the better course would be to remove those from the board ASAP.

If you cannot see the writing on the wall... I cannot help you.

Meantime you whine and whinge about nuclear POWERED submarines for defence capability (not offensive capability)  and cringe at the very thought of the Three-Headed Murray Cod on every table (of the poor), while your pet Labor is talking about AI data centres (to assume total control over all data and thus of every aspect of ordinary lives) bringing their own modular nuclear power systems with them....

Many of you clearly need to work out how to see the difference between spin and reality...

Nonsense - first of all you need a nuclear reactor to get the Plutonium -
how much does that cost?

I don't know how to create plutonium. But there is nothing against getting weapons grade plutonium from other nations.

Plutonium is not for sale anywhere.
That is only one problem to overcome.
The Yanks spent 100s of billions testing and designing nukes.

It is not like I am quoting Marty McFly and acting like plutonium is easy to get. But governments can do exchanges with countries that produce plutonium.

Nobody sells the type used in bombs. Australia can most likely sell you the type used in power reactors.

The only Plutonium we have is in small quantities at Lucas heights
which is highly controlled and inspected by the IAEA.

Uranium is used in reactors not Plutonium except -

Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel:
Some nuclear plants use specially fabricated MOX fuel,
which blends recycled plutonium with uranium to generate power.

Enriching uranium doesn't use plutonium.

ai :

Enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb involves increasing the concentration of the fissile isotope uranium-235 from its natural abundance of 0.7% to significantly higher levels.  This is achieved by converting uranium oxide into uranium hexafluoride gas and processing it through centrifuges that spin at up to 70,000 rpm to separate the lighter U-235 from the heavier U-238.

The required enrichment level determines the weapon's efficiency and size:

Weapons-Grade: Typically 90% to 93% U-235, which allows for smaller, lighter, and more powerful warheads.

Minimum Threshold: Technically, as little as 20% enrichment is sufficient for an explosive chain reaction, but this requires a much larger mass of material, making the resulting device bulky and impractical.

Breakout Potential: Reaching 20% enrichment consumes approximately 90% of the effort required to reach weapons-grade levels, meaning stockpiles of lower-enriched uranium (e.g., 60%) represent a significant proliferation risk.

...



The other aspect. Australia doesn't have Pickaxe Mountain geography. Building nukes out in the open means the program can be wipes out in seconds, at any stage.

It will likely have to be build under Mount Kosciuszko. Even then, it's composed of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks rather than the massive, intact granite formations found in the Zagros. A low level nuke could wipe it out easily, poisoning Melbourne, Sydney, and of a lesser importance ... Canberra !

Detonating a nuclear weapon releases an intense burst of electromagnetic radiation known as a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
Detonated at high altitude above the Earth creates no mushroom cloud or immediate blast damage on the ground, but it can instantly cripple electronic infrastructure across thousands of kilometers.
That will kill AI and save humanity.
