The Nuclear Bible: Nuclear Terror Video Games

Intro:Since 1980, video games have featured nuclear weapons and explosions in many shapes, sizes, and forms in almost a 100 videoand computer games. This sustained barrage of apocalyptic images over the last 30 years and its subsequent psychological damage to theminds of millions of children and young adults is simply staggering. Even more frightening is that players in some of the games actuallychoose to use nuclear weapons on their enemies as well as their own people! Developing the rational for the use of Nuclear Weapons ofMass Destruction at a young age is anti-human and a shame, not to mention the blatant nuclear apocalypse propaganda and mind seeding at

play. All the information in this chapter was taken and liberally edited directly from the two sources listed below. This amalgamation ofnuclear video games does not purport to be infallible or inclusive, and does not necessarily represent all games with nuclear weapons,scenarios, or contexts.

And, rest assured, once nuclear capability has been achieved, it's very difficult not to press the button and let the missiles fly. It'salways satisfying to drop a nuke on an enemy city or army. There's no better way to signal your arrival to superpower status (XBOX 360,

2010). You can access nuclear missiles once you are at an advanced enough age (Wikipedia, 2010)

one of six world territories in a situation which inevitably deteriorates to global thermonuclear war. With the sense that nuclear war is

being commanded by distant generals in deep underground bunkers using abstract images, the game gives an unsettling

impression of how popular culture imagined nuclear war would look to the people responsible for starting it. Because "Everybody

Dies", DEFCON is extremely difficult to win, as all sides will inevitably suffer nuclear attack. In the game's terminology, the victoris the player who 'loses the least' (Wikipedia, 2010).

Abstract: No game lavishes such attention and detail to nuclear explosions than World in Conflict. Sure, these are tactical nukes that we'redealing with, not the bigger, city-killing warheads. However, the execution is so perfect, from the initial blinding flash of light to the angry,billowing, mushrooming cloud rising high into the sky. This is a game where nukes fly back and forth during a single match, resulting infireworks galore (XBOX 360, 2010). The United States uses tactical nuclear weaponry to halt the advance of the Soviet Union in America.

The weapons are also available in multiplayer games (Wikipedia, 2010).

Abstract: An image on two Islamic extremist Web sites depicting Washington, D.C., after a nuclear attack was not created by radicals but

swiped from a computer game, the U.K.s Telegraph reported. The terrorist-monitoring SITE Intelligence Group on Thursday reported thatterrorists had created the image, which shows a large gash in the Capitol and the surrounding area in ruins, as part of dialogue on the abilityto launch nuclear assaults on the United States and Britain, the Telegraph reported. The image appeared on the al-Ekhlass and al-Hesbah

Web sites in video titled "Nuclear Jihad: The Ultimate Terror." The groups are believed to have ties to Al Qaeda. It did not take long

to realize the image actually is from a scene in "Fallout 3," dubbed by its U.S. makers as "Americas first choice in post -nuclearsimulation." According to its Web site, SITE reports on the day-to-day happenings of terrorists as gleaned from Internet postings.

Abstract:Fear-mongering hacks at The Daily Mailhave been caught mistaking footage from a popular video game series as proofof al-Qaeda's "terrifying vision" for a nuclear attack on Washington. The paper splashed a gory image showing the utter destruction

that would result from the plot by terrorists to carry out a nuclear attack. In the foreground are the charred ruins of the Capitol in a city thatis utterly devoid of people, cars or any other sign of life. "This computer generated image posted on terror forums depict what wouldhappen if a nuclear attack took place in Washington D.C.," the paper reported breathlessly. "So far that is only a dream ... or, asthis picture suggests, a nightmare," reporter Barry Wigmore blathered on. Turns out the image was lifted from Fallout 3, the latestinstallment of a role-playing game made by Bethesda Software. Marketers describe the game, as "America's First Choice in Post NuclearSimulation". Players are left to roam America's ravaged streets in the year 2277, 200 years after nuclear bombs destroyed the nationscapital. A Telegraph report claims Daily Mailhacks were hoodwinked after the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorist

websites, posted the image first, along with claims it had been posted to forums where terrorists were discussing the feasibility ofnuclear strikes on the US and Britain (Goodin, 2008).

Source: WikipediaTitle/Headline: Illuminati Game

Abstract:Illuminati is a standalone card game made by Steve Jackson Games (SJG), inspired byThe Illuminatus! Trilogyby

Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. The game has ominous secret societies competing with each other to control the worldthrough sinister means, including legal, illegal, and even mystical. It was designed as a "tongue-in-cheek rather than serious" take onconspiracy theories. It contains groups named similarly to real world organizations, such as the Society for Creative Anachronism. It can beplayed by two to eight players. Depending on the number of players, a game can take between one and six hours (Wikipedia, 2010).

Terrorist Nuke: Maybe there is a reason the World Trade Center site is called Ground Zero? Although the Pentagon was not destroyed on9/11, it is likely it could be simultaneously attacked along with the Super Bowl, thus giving the perception, as on 9/11, that the military isalso being attacked.

Title/Headline: Illuminati Card Game Shows The BP Oil Spill Was Planned

Abstract:Oil spill card of Illuminati Card Game proves that The entire oil spill incident was planned to bring down America.Likewise another card, issued well before 9-11, showed the twin towers being taken down is one of the most shocking of all,

especially in light of the fact that this game first hit the specialty stores in 1995! How in the world did Steve Jackson know that theTwin Towers of the World Trade Center were going to be attacked? In fact, this card accurately depicted the World Trade Center attack ingreat detail. This card accurately depicts several facts of 9/11 on cards created all the way back in 1995! The picture accurately depicts:

That one tower was going to be struck first; this picture accurately depicts the moments between the first tower strike and the

second. The card accurately depicts that the place of impact is some distance from the top of the twin towers. The plane hit in this

approximate area of the first tower. How in the world could Steve Jackson know this fact? The card accurately depicts the Illuminatileadership by showing on the building to the extreme left of the card the Illuminist pyramid with an all-seeing eye in the middle. The

caption at the top properly identifies the perpetrators of the attack as terrorists. However, what does the caption to this card mean? It

says, Terrorist Nuke. Now, what could this possibly mean? The Twin Towers were not destroyed by a terrorist nuclear device, or

were they? In Bali Blast, the scientific data suggested that the hotel was taken down by a micro-nuclear device of about 0.10

kilotons . One can only ask: was a micro-nuclear device used at the base of the Twin Towers as well? That kind of small, but

nuclear, explosion would account for the sudden manner the reinforced concrete and steel shell simply crumbled into dust as it fell.That kind of nuclear explosion would also explain the tremendous heat that stayed at Ground Zero for several months after 9/11. As we

head into the planned terrorist attacks and attendant panics, we have to remain cognizant that a micro-nuke device might be the realculprit in some of these attacks

Pentagon:Unless one had advanced knowledge of the Illuminati Plan, there is no way on earth that they would have been able tocreate pictures in 1995 that accurately depict the unfolding events of 9/11! The Pentagon is shown on fire; we know that a plane allegedlyflew into a section of the Pentagon and nearly burned that section completely. However, the rest of the Pentagon was undamaged to the

point where its functions continued unimpeded. Isnt this the situation depicted here? This card shows a fire burning mightily in the centercourtyard of the Pentagon, but the rest of the building looks undamaged enough so that normal activities could continue unimpeded! Thus,

these two cards literally depict both of the strikes of 9/11: against the Twin Towers first and then against the Pentagon. This kindof accuracy 6 years before the attacks is possible only if one knows the Illuminati Plan very thoroughly. What other types of disasters

might the Illuminati have planned for us? In the card game we find the following: Tidal wave, Oregon disaster (type not stated),earthquake, hurricane, volcano, combined disasters, and meteor strike, just to name a few. Are you ready? (Dimensional Bliss, 2010).

Conclusion:The foreshadowing of nuclear terror in video games and card games is rather blatant, and is clearly an attempt tounconsciously submit our minds to the nuclear terror reality. Aside from the programming of our children, the fact that these gamespromote the use of nuclear weapons by the player on other players or societies within the game is a crime in itself. It is no wonder thatWestern society is the most violent on Earth, and it all starts with innocent games that kids usually get for Christmas.
