Britain: Nowhere to hide?

Posted by Matt in February 5th, 2007

Deep beneath Wiltshire lies an abandoned fortress, strewn with old bedding, rusting machinery and stationery marked ‘top secret’. This is the Corsham bunker, where the nation’s elite would have retreated in the event of nuclear war. Built at the height of cold war paranoia, it has since been left to crumble. So is the government still preparing for the worst? And would the rest of us have anywhere to shelter? Steve Boggan investigates.

Chomsky on Iran and Nuclear Development
Are assumptions about Iran wrong? NOAM CHOMSKY, PROFESSOR OF LINGUISTICS, MIT: Well, if I can make a comment about the stated reasons, the very fact that we're discussing them tells us a lot about the sort of intellectual culture and moral culture in the United States. I mean, suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn't the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world. So if we invade and occupy another country, then it's a criminal act for anyone to...

Protect & Survive British Nuclear War Civil Defense Info
Protect and Survive was a programme of national civil defence put into effect by the British government during the late 1970s and early 1980s which used booklets, radio broadcasts, and public information films to instruct British citizens on how to protect themselves during a nuclear attack. Protect and Survive had its origins in the civil defence leaflets dating back to 1938, titled The Protection of Your Home Against Air Raids. These advised the owner on what to do in the event of air attack. This evolved as the nature of warfare and geopolitics changed, with the leaflets concurrently updated into "Advising the Householder on Protection against Nuclear Attack" in 1963. The leaflets were accompanied by a series of public information films produced in 1964, called Civil Defence...

Nuclear Siren Test - HM Naval Base Portsmouth (UK)
A one-minute test of the nuclear warning sirens in HM Naval Base Portsmouth. The ship is HMS Warrior (1860) with the Dockyard to the right and the Spinnaker Tower off to the left. The recording is ruined as it was very windy, but hopefully I'll get a better recording next time and will replace this vid. This'll have to do until then.

Nuclear Terror: Where Will It End? Part 2 of 3
http://tomorrowsworld.org/index.shtml The Nuclear Club is no longer the exclusive grouping that it once was. In the aftermath of World War II, America alone possessed the secret of the atomic bomb.

Where will this threat of nuclear terror end? A presentation of the truth by John H. Ogwyn and the Living Church of God. As seen throughout the entire world on Tomorrow's World Program.
