The Beirut bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines was "the largest non-nuclear explosion in history," according to General Paul X. Kelley, past-Commandant of the Marine Corps. On June 8, 1982 - the 15th anniversary of the sneak attack against the U.S.S. Liberty by Israeli forces - Israel launched sneak attacks against Lebanon (weakened by a Mossad campaign of terrorism and false flag operations) and Syria, destroying Syria's air force and defense systems. President Reagan sent 1,800 marines to Beirut to act as "peace keepers." They were denied to have live ammunition to be able to properly protect themselves. Veterans worried if they, like the crew of the U.S.S. Liberty, were being set up as "live bait." Around 6:20 am, October 23, 1983, a terrified city is awakened by a deafening explosion. The ground shakes. Have the Israelis begun another bombing rampage? A towering mushroom cloud billows from the rubble of what had been the U.S. barracks at Beirut International Airport where the 1st Battalion 8th Marines had been sleeping. The "official version" put out by the federal government still repeated today was that the explosion was caused by a truck loaded with "2,000 pounds of dynamite" rammed the building. No one with any knowledge of explosives believed the "official version, because that explosion could not have been caused by TNT, just as fuel oil can't melt steel; or as General Parton proved, a Ryder truck of fertilizer could not bring down the Murrah building. Against the evidence and common sense, immediately, the blame was laid on "terrorists almost certainly Hezbollah" - and guilt by word association blaming two of Israel's bitterest enemies, Iran and Syria. But the official story never tells you. The Mossad had advance knowledge of the notorious suicide bombing in Beirut but didn't pass on that information to American intelligence. By Way of Deception, Confessions of ex-Mossad agent, Victor Ostrovsky. "Intelligence lies are like the Russian dolls, open one, find another. The real story - like 911 - is even worse than they knew but didn't warn us." U.S. military intelligence's equivalent of CSI (Crime Scene Investigators), using the most sophisticated, high tech diagnostic tests, forensically examined evidence found at the scene of the terrorist explosion that killed 241 U.S. Marines in Beirut - They know where the bomb came from, but the stunning truth has been suppressed for 23 years. Even without full disclosure of those test results, experts on explosives and terrorism believe more than enough proof exists to establish who is guilty. The truck that blew up the Marine Barracks was loaded with 666 pounds of enhanced RDX "rag bombs." The Israelis call RDX, "rag bombs," because they use it to kill "rag-heads" or to blame bombings on "rag-heads." Also, the "safest" way to handle it is in "rags" that have been soaked in RDX and dried. Their planted bombs often look like a pile of dirty "rags." The only active sources of RDX in 1983 were the United States, Canada, France, Sweden, China - and Israel. But even 666 pounds of RDX (the most powerful, non-nuclear explosive in the world) couldn't have done the damage caused by "The largest non-nuclear explosion in history." Only "enhanced RDX," an Israeli specialty, could have caused that holocaust. Forensic Evidence Points to Israelis Guilty of Massacre of U.S. Marines! The RDX that killed our Marines was "enhanced" with propane gas and primed with PETN boosters or detonation cord, according to Yosef Bitar, Lebanon's top explosive expert. Bitar is an expert; between 1975 and 1983 he had defused 1,870 bombs! Gas-enhanced RDX bombs are exotic devices. Only explosive experts with a great deal of practical experience can prepare a gas-enhanced bomb. The bomb must be prepared so that first the gas cylinders are exploded to create a cloud in which the RDX is detonated. The gas cloud "amplifies" the exploding plastic charge. In November of 1982 (when gas-enhanced bombs first started appearing in Lebanon) the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF G-2) intelligence headquarters was destroyed by one of these new devices. Many senior Israeli officers were killed. The Israelis say the explosion was an accident and blame it on a cigarette or match- even though RDX (aka cyclonite, hexogen or T4) base is very stable and difficult to detonate. Israel has made so much RDX and other exotic weapons of mass destruction they are making their own nest uninhabitable. A biological treatment process for wastes contaminated with the explosive RDX (cyclonite) is under investigation in the laboratory using wastewater of a munitions factory in Israel. This study is designed to find solutions for the removal of both RDX and nitrate residues in these wastes, materials that can contribute to groundwater contamination. A bacterium was isolated from soil contaminated by RDX capable of aerobically removing nitrite residues from RDX, which is the first step in the biodegradation of RDX. They spend fortunes of the money congress sends them to study the kinetics of RDX and HMX biodegradation in the groundwater of the Israeli Coastal Aquifer. So much soil and groundwater has been polluted Israel has to import tons of RDX and other nasty chemicals. The only place that officially admits to making RDX is Chemko in Slovakia. To buy it requires a government license. Chemko has never traded "with an Arab country." However, in letter dated May 2003, the Czech ministry says it has "no objections" to the "application of the company Chemko to issue a license for the export of explosives to Israel (RDX - 55 t, oktog33;n [HMX] - 15 t)." The first stage of the present crisis in Lebanon began when former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated on Feb 14, 2005. Tellingly, the huge bomb used to kill him and everyone unfortunate enough to be within "collateral damage" range was made out of RDX. The Beirut bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines was "the largest non-nuclear explosion in history," according to General Paul X. Kelley, past-Commandant of the Marine Corps. Ralph Forbes had appointments to the U.S. Air Force Academy and West Point, but eager to help his country fight Communism he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps instead. While on active duty he volunteered for combat missions in both Lebanon and Vietnam. "Thank God, they didn't send me; because today I know the real purposes of these wars were not for America, but against her."

Thanks for posting the article linked below.
Report of the DoD Commission on Beirut International Airport Terrorist Act, October 23, 1983 20 December 1983 http://ibiblio.net/hyperwar/AMH/XX/MidEast/Lebanon-1982-1984/DOD-Report/index.html The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) assessment is that the bomb employed a "gas-enhanced" technique to greatly magnify its explosive force which has been estimated at over 12,000 pound effective yield equivalent of TNT. ------------------------------------------------ The "gas-enhanced" technique described suggests this was a very sophisticated operation requiring the help of a sponsor state intelligence service.
Report of the DoD Commission on Beirut International Airport Terrorist Act, October 23, 1983 20 December 1983 http://ibiblio.net/hyperwar/AMH/XX/MidEast/Lebanon-1982-1984/DOD-Report/index.html Link On 23 October 1983, a large truck laden with the explosive equivalent of over 12,000 pounds of TNT crashed through the perimeter of the USMNF compound at Beirut International Airport, penetrated the Battalion Landing Team Headquarters building and detonated. The force of the explosion destroyed the building, resulting in the deaths of 241 U.S. military personnel. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Forensic Laboratory described the terrorist bomb as the largest conventional blast ever seen by the FBI's forensic explosive experts. Based upon the FBI analysis of the bomb that destroyed the U.S. Embassy on 18 April 1983, and the FBI preliminary findings on the bomb used on 23 October 1983, the Commission believes that the explosive equivalent of the latter device was of such magnitude that major damage to the Battalion Landing Team Headquarters building and significant casualties would probably have resulted even if the terrorist truck had not penetrated the USMNF defensive perimeter but had detonated in the roadway some 330 feet from the building.

It was fun watching the ziobots trying to squirm around this stuff. lol

It must be simple and reliable - weapons and bombs used by terrorists Discover, June, 1986 by Wayne Biddle It's 6:22 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, 1983, in Beirut. Near the international airport, hundreds of U.S. Marines are asleep in a lightly guarded four-story office building they call the Beirut Hilton and the Pentagon calls the Battalion Landing Team headquarters. A yellow, two-and-a-half- ton Mercedes-Benz stakebed truck passes a Lebanese army checkpoint and rolls down an unguarded road into a public parking lot in front of the headquarters building. It accelerates to more than 35 m.p.h. as it crosses the empty lot and careers easily through a concertina wire obstacle. As the two Marines on sentry duty in front of the building fumble with M-16 rifles carried unloaded by order of their commanders, the smiling driver speeds past them, crashes through the sergeant-of-the- guard shack and into the lobby of the Beirut Hilton, where the truck comes to a stop. Some experts believe that a cheap electrical relay, like those found in pinball machines, then activated a detonator behind the cab, setting off a load of plastic explosive that packed a wallop equivalent to that of six tons of TNT. The plastic consisted mostly of RDX, also known as hexogen, a common military high explosive. With the line between combatants and civilians as blurred as it is in anarchic Beirut, local terrorists have collected, stolen, or been given ample supplies of such explosives during a decade of fighting. The most egregious example of this is the 21 tons of high explosives sold to Libya in 1977 by former CIA agent Edwin Wilson. Security experts believe Libya has since handed out at least some of these explosives to various terrorist groups. The blast, which the FBI forensic laboratory will call the largest non-nuclear explosion ever, creates a crater forty feet wide and nine feet deep, turning the Beirut Hilton into dusty rubble and killing 241 of the more than 300 Marines in the building. The damage and loss of life would have been horrendous even if the truck's deadly load had been detonated in the road 300 feet away, the Pentagon will eventually conclude.
The events suggest Libertypost became popular enough to start drawing the attention of those interested in censoring information on the internet. I wonder if there is an average hits per day or some other metric used to determine when a forum must receive particular attention?
I think you can probably use Alexa ranking graphs to determine when their traffic is peaking.
Do I hear a fat lady singing?
fyi
In fact, if you go here: Alexa Data For LP you can get graphs of reach per million users, avg page views, and traffic rank.
Do I hear a fat lady singing?
My knowledge is very limited in this area but I believe the data from Alexa has some serious limitations in determining total traffic. A webmaster has access to exactly how many hits their site receives from unique IP addresses. I recall several weeks back the webmaster at LP commenting about the traffic. I don't recall the specifics, but I do think the numbers were significant. If I had to guess I would say google and/or yahoo searches are part of the reason for the additional traffic. Here is one example.If you go to google and type in "molten steel" and "New York" or "molten metal" and "New York", an LP article comes up in the top ten listings.
The only way to get total traffic info is to have access to server logs. Alexa graphs will show you when traffic spikes however.

"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers
