Gerald Bull was a British inventor who designed the “big gun” — “just a gigantic barrel, like a gun that was so big that they had to lean it against the side of a mountain.” Per John Kiriakou, Bull “went to the Israelis and he said, ‘Hey, I invented this big gun. It’s so big you have to lean it against a mountain.’ And the Israelis said, ‘Get out of here, we’re not interested in your stupid gun.’ And the Iraqis said, ‘We’ll take it.’”[1][2]
The Iraqi engineering problem
Per Kiriakou: every time the Iraqis tried to fire the big gun “it would crack and they had to keep repairing it. Finally, they came up with this idea of using something that they called the condom — but instead of going over the gun, it went inside the barrel so that the barrel was smoother.”[3][4]
Mossad
“As soon as they figured out that condom would work, the Israelis bombed the gun and they murdered Gerald Bull in Brussels.” The reason for killing Bull rather than the buyer: “They don’t want him making any more guns for the Iraqis. … Nobody else would buy this stupid gun. Only the Iraqis were willing to buy it.”[4][5]
