    Islamic State is on the brink of using NUCLEAR WEAPONS, chilling report warns

    THE barbaric Islamic State could be on the brink of unleashing nuclear weapons against the West, a top researcher has warned.

    The Islamic State could be on the brink of using nuclear weapons. Harvard researcher Matthew Bunn revealed that extremist groups such as ISIS are “evolving” and could be armed with nuclear weapons in the near future. The report on Managing the Atom by the US university researcher details the threat of three types of nuclear or radiological terrorism.

    Research claim the evil group and other terrorist groups could have acquired nuclear arms. This includes detonation of a nuclear bomb, sabotage of a nuclear facility and use of a dirty bomb to spread radioactive material. But the report looks in greater detail at the possibility of a nuclear bomb being detonated as it would be “most catastrophic”.

    The report comes as the Nuclear Security Summit sets to take place today in Washington. Barack Obama will lead the summit today. Western leaders including David Cameron are growing increasingly fearful that terrorist groups are closer than ever to their goal of obtaining a chemical or nuclear warhead. The authors also wrote: “The radiation from a dirty bomb, by contrast, might not kill anyone—at least in the near term—but could impose billions of dollars in economic disruption and cleanup costs.

    “The effects of sabotage of a nuclear facility would depend heavily on the specific nature of the attack, but would likely range between the other two types of attack in severity.

    “The difficulty of achieving a successful sabotage is also intermediate between the other two.”

    The report looks at possible sabotage by terrorists on nuclear power plants.

    The report looks into ways to tighten up security at nuclear sites as well as protecting hospitals and industrial sites in a desperate bid to stop such attacks.

    It says: “Making a crude nuclear bomb would not be easy, but is potentially within the capabilities of a technically sophisticated terrorist group, as numerous government studies have confirmed.”

    The two-day summit will be hosted by Barack Obama and comes in the wake of the Brussels terror attacks which left 31 people dead.

    North Korea has claimed it is preparing to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the U.S., after claiming its warheads are capable of reaching Manhattan. The country's Foreign Minister warned that the North Korean army has been ordered to move from preparing for potential military response to attacks on the country - to preparing to launch their own.

    Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong extended the threat to its neighbors in the south, adding that 'the Korean peninsula faces the dilemma: a thermonuclear war or peace'. The warnings follows months of intensified weapons tests and threats of nuclear war by North Korea as a response to ongoing military drills between Washington and Seoul.

    'In response to the US frenzied hysteria for unleashing a nuclear war, we have fully transferred our army from the form of military response to the form of delivering a pre-emptive strike and we state resolutely about the readiness to deliver a pre-emptive nuclear strike,' North Korea's Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong said in a statement, Yonhap News reports.

    'In a word, the Korean peninsula faces the dilemma: a thermonuclear war or peace,' he said.

    However, this is a demand North Korea has been making for decades: The United States and South Korea must immediately suspend their annual military exercises if there is to be peace on the Korean Peninsula. Even before the exercises began, North Korea's formidable propaganda machine had been churning out articles every day condemning the US and South Korea in the strongest terms.

    Humans haven't always been violent warmongers:
    Japanese hunter-gatherers lived peacefully together for 5,000 years


     Archaeologists examined 2,500 human remains from the Jomon culture
       This prehistoric society lived in Japan between 14,500 BC and 300 BC
       The study found almost no evidence of violence on the bones examined
       It suggests war may not be as inherent to human nature as some believe

    By Richard Gray for MailOnline / Published: 31 March 2016

    Human history is a bloody patchwork of battles and wars that leaves many to conclude our species is inexorably drawn towards violence. But a new study of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in Japan has revealed that some societies can pull themselves out of this unending cycle of bloodshed.

    The results suggest perhaps that violence is not so inherently part of human nature as has been previously proposed. The Jomon culture are thought to have lived in Japan from around 14,500 BC to around 300 BC (reconstruction of Jomon settlement pictured). Scientists have now found they appear to have lived a largely peaceful existence with one of the lowest levels of warfare for a prehistoric culture in the world.

    The Jomon culture are thought to have lived in Japan from around 14,500 BC to around 300 BC (reconstruction of Jomon settlement pictured). Scientists have now found they appear to have lived a largely peaceful existence with one of the lowest levels of warfare for a prehistoric culture in the world

    A team of archaeologists examined the skeletal remains and causes of death of members of the Jomon people who lived in Japan up to 16,500 years ago.

    These hunter-gatherers created some of the oldest pottery in the world and are known to have had a rich culture that prized jewellery and clay figurines.

    WHO WERE THE JOMON?

    The Jomon were a prehistoric culture that lived in Japan from 14,500 BC to around 300 BC. They are known to have created some of the earliest clay pots in existence - technology that had thought to have emerged with farming. The Jomon name refers the distinctive cord markings on the pots, which were made using coiled ropes, pressed into the wet clay. Instead, research has found they may have used these pots to cook fish that they caught. The Jomon lived in Japan while much of it was still covered in glaciers towards the end of the last ice age.

    Archaeological discoveries have suggested they had a rich culture where jewellery made from stone, bone, shells and antlers were worn. Intricate figurines made from pottery have also been unearthed.

    While fish is thought to have been the main source of their diet, the Jomon are also said to have lived on the rich forest vegetation that covered Japan at the time along with sources of meat like deer and wild boar. Most prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies are thought to have engaged in warfare and anthropologists believe it played a key role in human evolution.They say the threat of war led humans to form tight-knit bands and even played a role in the development of our ability to cooperate altruistically.

    But Professor Hisashi Nakao, an expert in the philosophy of human evolution at Yamaguchi University in Japan, and his colleagues, argue this may not be completely true.

    They could find no evidence for conflicts over a period of more than 5,000 years in Japan from around 13,000BC. They say this suggests violence is not necessarily at integral to human nature as some believe.

    Surprisingly Japan later went on to develop a culture built on a feudal system and where clan warfare was common. Writing in the journal Biology Letters, they said: 'Our results suggest that violence and thus warfare were not common in prehistoric Japan.

    'We have found no injured individuals in the Initial Jomon period, lasting for 5,000 years or more, though non-injured individuals were discovered for the period.

    'Some scholars have claimed that warfare "is found throughout prehistory" and that warfare was significantly common among hunter-gatherer populations to have affected social evolution by promoting intra-group altruism.

    We all know who is behind the Islamic State so it will be them , who will use nuclear weapons. ISIS is a group of remotely controlled useful idiots.
