WASHINGTON – Top military and congressional sources have denied reports that unauthorized transfers of America’s nuclear weapons have occurred and that the suspension of a Navy admiral and firing of a top Air Force general followed a fight inside government ranks about the alleged situation.

Several publications have carried reports on the topic in recent days, including concerns expressed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., over nuclear weapons in his state as well as the removal of several military officers.

There have also been stories about the reported transfers of nuclear weaponry.

One example was Storyleak, where author Anthony Gucciardi reported a “secret and unsigned nuclear weapons transfer” from Dyess Air Force base to South Carolina.

He also reported that two of the nation’s top nuclear commanders were suspended and fired following the report.

“What this means,” he wrote, “is that the nuke commanders were terminated behind the scenes in a move that was not meant to hit the public eye – especially not the fact that the second in command was fired on the same day of the leaked nuclear transfer. More importantly, shedding light on the secret transfer of nuclear weapons and the numerous red flags that prove its validity is key in stopping the psychopathic control freaks in government from going through with Graham’s ‘warnings’ of a nuclear explosion that would lead to a war with Syria.”

But U.S. Strategic Command spokesman Charles Ramey told WND the dismissal and suspension of the two flag officers from that agency were for personal reasons and that no transfers of nuclear weapons from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas to South Carolina occurred.

Ramey said there was no connection between personnel actions against the flag officers and any movement of nuclear weapons.

He acknowledged a 2007 incident in which nuclear weapons went missing for some 36 hours at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.

In that case, cruise missiles still armed with nuclear warheads were mistakenly loaded on a B-52H bomber at Minot and transported to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.
