The Chatter Tonight

And everybody is fascinated with mushroom clouds.  sigh 

Here is the chatter tonight - from the dark side.  I have no real means for vetting the information. But this is the discussion trending on more than one site.  I will add to the post if there is anything else to offer the readership.

" No explosion occurred in Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem; rather, it was a series of explosions, one of which was massive and created an enormous mushroom cloud.

In this series of explosions, factories producing Arrow anti-ballistic missile munitions, Ofek satellites, munitions for various air defense systems including Barak 8 and Iron Dome, as well as Ofek reconnaissance and intelligence satellites, and certain points near Israel's Sdot Micha airbase suddenly detonated. The video that was released shows a severe explosion and flash that created a large mushroom cloud, with the other explosions not visible in front of it. In the released images, there is an intense flash resembling a nuclear explosion. I recall that in the hills there were storage facilities for Israel's nuclear weapons and neutron bombs with high fusion and low radiation, such as MRR and RNEP, which are key elements of low-intensity nuclear warfare. I'll explain soon what the precise details of the incident are, but for now, independent media say that it's likely either an accident occurred or somehow individuals managed to transport a nuclear weapon there and carry out a real attack on Israel. The strange thing is that entry by police, firefighters, ambulances, and military forces to the explosion area has been prohibited, and this is almost unprecedented. Only intelligence units and special military forces are present in the area, and probably special teams for dealing with nuclear contamination are also there due to the nuclear incident. Of course, Israel will try to downplay this incident as a simple accident and call these claims lies and deny them. The reality is that the two countries capable of doing this are Russia or Iran, and whoever carried it out has successfully, with this action, prevented both an attack on Iran with a tactical nuclear warhead and Ukraine's access to tactical nuclear weapons, and also obtained a preemptive measure against a large-scale nuclear attack on Iran. If Israel does not carry out an attack on Iran in the next few months, its serious nuclear stockpile, military forces, and scientists have been destroyed in this incident, and replacing them through America will be time-consuming. In the end, I reiterate that the explosion site in Beit Shemesh, Jerusalem, Tel Nof, is the same location as the Sdot Micha airbases and the central storage for nuclear weapons, where the production of Israel's vital air defense missiles and satellites is located. A massive explosion followed by endless radiation and a mushroom cloud can only mean one thing: a nuclear explosion. In Israel, this area is even more protected than Tel Aviv and is the deployment site for many of Israel's strange special units."

Additional discussion here:

"At least six C-17A transport aircraft have taken off from Jordan and are heading west.

It is unclear whether this is related to the explosion in Israel or one of several months of ongoing supply missions, but the explosion occurred at a major air defense production center and nuclear storage facility in Israel, which will make it much more difficult for the United States to defend Israel."

Israel merely presents this as a planned, controlled explosion:

So on one side - the Four Horsemen of the Apocaplyse Ride Again. On the other side, the narrative of "Nothing to see here. Nope. Nothing."
