  • U.S. Nuke Commander Suspended On Same Day As Secret Nuke Transfer  Report! 
    by , http://www.storyleak.com/ 
    Navy officials revealed the alleged gambling related suspension of Vice Adm.  Tim Giardina Friday, U.S. Strategic Command’s No. 2 officer in charge of the  country’s nuclear fighting forces.
    –
    According to Navy spokeswoman Capt. Pamela Kunze, a law enforcement agency  began investigating Giardina June 16 for connection to counterfeit gambling  chips from a western Iowa casino. After learning of the investigation a month  later on July 16, Strategic Command’s head commander, Air Force Gen. Robert  Kehler, ordered the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to begin a similar  investigation into the incident. Keheler ordered Giardina’s suspension on Sept.  3 before sending reassignment recommendations to Defense Secretary Chuck  Hagel.
    –
    Giardina, who currently faces no charges or threats of arrest, still works  with Strategic Command at a lesser capacity despite the suspension. Giardina is  reportedly barred from involvement in nuclear weapons related duties while the  internal investigation is ongoing.
    –
    Division of Criminal Investigation special agent David Dales, who works at  the Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, revealed that the counterfeit  chips equaled a “significant monetary amount” but declined to release any  further information.
    –
    “We were able to detect this one pretty quickly and jump on it,” Dales  added.
    –
    The suspension, which many have called “highly unusual,” follows the disturbing report of an illegal nuclear warhead transfer to South Carolina from  Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, a military installation under the Strategic Air  Command. That same day, Senator Lindsay Graham strangely announced that South  Carolina would likely be subject to a nuclear attack if the United States did not  immediately intervene militarily in Syria, all occurring at the moment of  Giardina’s suspension.
    –
    The recent nuclear transfer is nearly identical to the ’2007 United States Air Force nuclear weapons incident’,  which saw nuclear warheads secretly and illegally transferred from the Minot Air  Force Base and Barksdale Air Force Base.
    –
    While all these recent events appear seemingly unrelated,  several ”highly unusual” incidents occurring within a 24 hour period, all  directly related to the United States’ nuclear program, only raises more  questions than answers. Storyleak’s Anthony Gucciardi appeared on RT this week,  to discuss the recent nuclear weapons transfer.
