is well known that Donald Trump offered Theresa May advice about
how to handle Brexit. What has been a mystery until now has been
what he actually said in the private discussions.
Thanks
to a recent intercept made today 31 March between 01.00 GMT and 02.00
BST by the Australian administered repeater station where the
Tera-bit Trans-Pacific Optical Fibre Link (TTPOFL) comes
ashore on the island of Rabaul, we now know much
more about what Trump had to say when she told him ‘Brexit
means Brexit’.
After
his success in the November 2016 presidential election his shadow
administration had set up a small group charged with coming up with
policies which would bring about a seismic shift in geopolitical
alignments and in so doing promote his America First
policy.
This
group contacted two Southern Baptist University engineers,
Professor Sellers Strange
and Dr Peter Lurve,
who in 2001 had written a paper published in the Journal of
Terraforming advocating nuclear mining. They proposed that
Great Britain should detach itself physically from the
continental shelf and set itself adrift from the European tectonic
plate.
This
would have required the drilling of several hundred holes deep enough
to reach the Mohorovic Discontinuity, lowering into each one a low
yield nuclear bomb and triggering these simultaneously. The shock
wave would shatter the rock and Great Britain really would be free
from Europe.
Trump
put this proposal to Theresa May and offered the use of the newly
commissioned Glomar Explorer to undertake the drilling. (The
original Explorer had been used to recover part of a Soviet submarine
K-129 in 1974 and was scrapped in 2015). He also agreed to supply up
to 970 low yield nuclear devices. These had originally been designed
in the 1950s and 60s as battlefield or tactical weapons to be used to
halt Russian tanks crossing the German Plain en masse
if the Cold War suddenly turned hot, but
were now redundant and
unstable. It was also a
convenient way of disposing of fissile material away from US soil in
line with
Trump’s America First
policies.
Initially
the Cabinet was sceptical and dismissed it as just another of Trump’s
daft ideas. But according to a Japanese website it gained traction
after May’s disastrous election gamble in 2017 when she found
herself having to bribe the DUP for their support. Seemingly Arlene
Foster’s intransigence caused May to lose patience and
she proposed that Strange and Lurve’s original scheme be modified
so that only England, Wales plus the Scottish mainland and nearer
islands be detached. Ulster would be left to negotiate with the
Irish republic and Shetland would be ceded to its original owners in
Oslo having. This became known as the Norway Option.
If
you’ve been to the seaside recently and spotted a large vessel with
what looks like a pylon on top of it a long way offshore it may have
been the Glomar Explorer.

and Shetland see www.fukulott.jp

I’d
like to thank MIT educated engineer Howard Wolowitz M. Eng. for his
help with this piece.
