I thought it was South Carolina and there was going to be a false flag there.

So let me see if I have this right. There is a super secret program to move nuclear warheads to the East Coast, with no paperwork, no security, nothing, but the base operator knows about it? Do you even begin to understand how absurd that is? They don't even tell people that aren't directly involved when they move a nuclear weapon, so there is zero chance in hell an operator is going to know anything about it.

Dyess Responds to Rumors Regarding Transfer of Nukes to Coast
"Please be advised that the information contained in recent reports on nuclear weapons movement from Dyess AFB was neither released nor supported by the 7th Bomb Wing commander or representatives from Dyess AFB. Please reference the Dyess AFB website (www.dyess.af.mil) or other official Air Force websites for accurate, up-to-date information.
"With regard to potential U.S. actions in Syria, it is the 7th Bomb Wing's mission to prepare to support military operations if tasked. However, as a matter of policy, we do not discuss the possibility of unit-level involvement in potential military operations or preparations for military operations."
Taking nothing for granted, Dyess AFB commander says he has zombie defense plan for base
ABILENE, Texas — Preparing for all eventualities, a wing commander at a West Texas Air Force base says he has a plan for defending the base from attacks by zombies.
Brig. Gen. Glen VanHerck commands the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base...
And the plan? First, secure the base. Second, alert base personnel via Internet, public access television and social media. Next, fortify all gates, airdrop supplies to Abilene neighborhoods, then launch B-1Bs against the zombies.

No base will ever come out and say that they have nuclear weapons. You can pretty much guess which ones do, and Dyess isn't one that should have them. At one point the B-1 was part of the nuclear triad, and was in the nuclear weapons business. In 1993 the B-1s began going through the CMUP program, which converted them from primarily a nuclear bomber, into a conventional weapons platform.
With no aircraft at Dyess in the nuclear role, there is no need for Dyess to handle or store nuclear weapons. But military policy is to not discuss nuclear weapons, either to confirm or deny them (not that most people would believe them anyway).
