The Divine Strake

Dear True,
Have you heard about the Divine Strake? This is the inexplicable military name for the war game to end all war games: a simulated underground nuclear strike. Has the Pentagon signed on to the Rapture theory, that idea that the saved will emerge from earth’s destruction to ascend into heaven after the wicked have been cut down?
Specifically, two localities have managed to block the Divine Explosion, which would detonate a minimum of 700 tons of explosives to test potential damage to deep-underground targets. Read, nuke Iran.
The Nevada and Indiana sites first selected were rejected after local protests. Contamination of groundwater and destruction of limestone caves would result, said a scientist for Argonne National Laboratory and local Indiana resident. “Words fail me in saying how insane it is,” he told the Indiana Daily Student last week.
Here in Cook County, despite our fears about an invasive presence of Homeland Security and Coast Guard war games, we should perhaps count ourselves lucky that our fragile underground network of rock and water and caves is not (for now) threatened by Divine Strake explosions.
However, the implosion of new violent maneuvers around the nation should rightly concern us all. Live gunfire, border military buildups, underground explosions...and what else? The old tactic of divide and conquer appears to be at work here: each locality has no idea that all over the country similar war games are intimidating locals.
Peace will not be achieved by alienating not only the other nations of the world, but the small neighborhoods of our nation. Peace comes from sitting down and talking with others, sovereign nations in particular, but also those legitimate parties disenfranchised by American hegemony and wrongly labeled terrorists. All that military destruction achieves is an escalation of hate, and all that stupid maneuvers and games achieve is an escalation of fear.
A friend of peace
