There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

The End Times Prophecy crowd has their knickers all bunched up over an alleged diabolical plan by the US Navy to release depleted uranium, red and white phospherus and other weapons over Oregon and other Western states. This is supposed to happen sometime around this coming Saturday (April 11).

All our dreams, sacrifices, savings, and advocacy for our families, NW agriculture, and communities could all be undone by the US Navy's planned weapons test for this spring, and make it impossible for us to sell our land, homes, equipment, livestock, or crops; to get the medical care needed or have health; to have civil rights and human rights; use the Internet, or to steward our wonderful land.

Please immediately get the word out to all Oregon Farm Bureau and Country Financial members, employees, and friends... Once the cancer-causing uranium, red and white phosphorus, and other weapons are released above our land and in our oceans, it will contaminate our air, water, soil, food, and vehicles, making our agricultural products unsellable anywhere in the world.

Oddly, or perhaps predictably, there is some confusion over who will get blamed for it. First there is this:

Investigators say terrorists and pro-democracy dissidents will be blamed for the government-planned disaster planned for on or after April 11-14, 2009 covering over 134, 000 nautical miles before wind-blown radiation. Additional military exercises are apparently also planned for overland and urban warfare.

But then a few paragraphs later:

Insiders, whistleblowers, foreign intelligence agencies, and financial analysts report this is planned to be blamed on Iranians, etc., as an excuse for attacking Iran and controlling their water, oil/gas, and trade routes for more military, economic, and political control of the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the weapons and surveillance and financial markets. It is to increase profits in weapons, militarized police and mercenary armies, privatized water and food, surveillance, illegal and legal drugs, transportation, insurance, prisons and concentration camp management and prison labor, construction, military food contracts, emergency shelter and migrant worker exploitation (newly displaced and homeless people of the western states, and the profitable sale of their abandoned assets.)

That's just a brief sampling. The list of alleged goals goes on and on and on.

Far be it from me to question the eschatological beliefs of another. But I have to wonder just how profitable the alleged sale of contaminated, abandoned assets could possibly be?
