Is the assertion that Barksdale is where cruise missiles are sent for decommissioning true or false?

Tough Punishment Expected for Warhead Errors
Officers May Lose Commands After Nuclear Missiles Were Flown on Bomber

Only two out of the 6 were connected with either Minot or Barksdale and AFTER the incident in AUGUST (check the dates on the others… JULY).

Neither of those two deaths shows a link between the deaths and that the airman were involved in the incident.

2.) Some general accounts of these missiles say that they are pre-mounted on pylons for quicker loading on the B 52′s wings. If this is correct, then what happened is not a mistake of individual missiles getting loaded. Rather, two pylons of
pre-loaded missiles were loaded on the B 52 by mistake.

Misloading and then neglecting to look closely at two pylons and what they carried seems to me even less plausible.

3.) I’ve seen storage bunkers for conventional military weapons (bombs, shells) because I lived right next to a naval weapons station. They are, quaintly enough, covered with sod.

One reason is that dirt and grass provides some buffer in case of an explosion.

Another is that grass makes the bunkers, rows and rows of them, less visually intrusive on the landscape.

This naval weapons station also stored nuclear warheads. I think that there were some special bunkers and facilities for nuclear weapons storage.

All these weapons were moved about with forklifts and other large pieces of equipment.

Even though the Navy never said *yea* or *nay* about the movement of nuclear weapons, it was common knowledge that they were typically moved ship to shore by air. The usual movement formation consisted of three helicopters.

4.) It crosses my mind that if nuclear weapons can be mistakenly loaded on a B 52 and flown cross country, then the various safety precautions and interlocks for those same weapons could mistakenly be inactivated. And an accidental nuclear detonation could take place.

Minot AFB Clandestine Nukes ‘Oddities’ –By Lori Price, http://www.legitgov.org Updated: 19 Sep 2007

The following section was compiled by ‘The Pundit.’
Since the Minot story broke a week ago about the missing nukeclandestine operation from Minot, we have the following (for those who are paying attention):

1. All six people listed below are from Minot Airforce base
2. All were directly involved as loaders or as pilots
3. All are now dead
4. All within the last 7 days in ‘accidents’ [Not all of them --LRP]

Silly me, seeing more than there is to this story. I guess this is just another coincidence.

But no doubt now that there will be more coincidences in the near future because as I have stated before, you need about fourteen signatures to get an armed nuke onto a B-52, and they may have told their wives and friends.
