The U.S. has always had its detractors who want to keep the world's view of the land of the free as being a dangerous, decadent society. It's so bad in America that they all carry guns for self-protection.Why would a "2000 lb" bomb have DU? DU is for penetrators. It looks like the Russkies are taking unrelated stories: unexplained blast + unexplained radiation reports to cobble out some disinformation propaganda. The question is: for what purpose?
Sorry WC, but that doesn't cut the mustard as being a reliable source. But let's assume it is factual. You already pointed out that it was not actually a SWAT team. The portion you quoted indicated that the officials conducted an "armed raid." Are we talking about guys running up to the farm guns drawn, placing people in hand cuffs to be carted away for arrest? Or were these officials simply armed with a holstered sidearm when they made contact with a farmer during a potentially confrontational instance? The quote also states that the officials had the "intent" of shooting all the farmer's pigs. If those officials jumped through all the hoops of planning and carrying out a raid on a farmer, with the "intent," of killing the farmer's animals, what stayed their hand? Why didn't they kill the animals if that was their original purpose? Needless to say, the link you posted is "lite" on info, in what I would assume is an attempt to tell only part of the story.
Never heard of the source, let's hope it's a cruel joke.
Just looking at the OP link, looks like the Russian equivalent of our STAR or National Observer - the folks who cobbled that story together had absolutely no knowledge of the geography of Michigan.
What amazes me is the amount of sheeple that really believe that this could not happen here.
I don't think the Russians wrote the report, there's no evidence they did. Here's the original source of the story (and cited in the link above).nope the russians. i'll let u judge who is more reliable

380 American Rebels Reported Killed In Michigan Battle
I wouldn't exactly call that a credible source.
My brother and I saw them too. East side of Indy?
Maybe I'm reading into this, but I'm amazed at the amount of "non-sheeple" that actually think the men and women of your military would carry out such ridiculous orders.

I agree, all it would take is one pilot. I guarantee you the government could find one pilot they could convince to bomb U.S. civilians, even if they had to lie to him. The sad reality is, they could likely find quite a few who would do it given the proper motivation.If they can 'persuade' various federal law enforcement personnel to carry out atrocities, I fail to understand how it is such a big stretch to think they could get the military to do it.
WOW! Just. . . wow. Do any of you REALLY believe that in the Age of the Internet and cell phone cameras NO ONE would comment on an atrocity like this? Or post videos of the attack? I suppose if one believes 9/11 was an inside job, this would make sense to one as well.
No, my questions were: does anyone believe this could happen and it wouldn't get out, complete with viral video?Which of two issues are you addressing? My answers to the questions of did it happen and can it happen are almost certainly not and absolutely, respectively.
with all due respect sir in detroit a 2,000 pound bomb would only do a couple of hundred dollars worth of improvements

I feel that a serviceable argument could be made both ways, and I wouldn't want to take any cash bets on that one.
Absent a natural disaster to explain away a large number of casualties, I'm at a loss to see how you think this could have been covered up. How many extended families would be looking for their suddenly-silent brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.? When one child disappears, we see its face on a milk carton; what would we be seeing when entire families disappeared at the same time?
