NEW 100 GIGABIT/SECOND WIRELESS LINKS AND DARPA

This one was sent to me by a regular, Ms. P.H., and I have to talk about it, because as regular readers here will already know, I've been suggesting in some recent blogs that there are serious moves afoot in the area of space defense. And though I haven't blogged about it here, the US Air Force also recently announced that it was retiring and shutting down its Spacenet tracking, the facility that tracks objects in near Earth space. At that time, there was no real announcement of what, if anything, had been put into its place.

However,  have recently blogged about Russia's intentions to build a sophisticated space-based defense system able to track and destroy objects in space before they can reach Russian airspace. I suggested that such developments were as much about the Chelyabinsk-asteroid issue as they are about threats from other nations' missiles, and I suspect the same rationale holds true for western systems of space-based defense.

The problem here, as it was during the Reagan Administration's now-well-known "Star Wars" or "Strategic Defense Initiative" program, was not so much the lack of the weapons hardware - the high power lasers, particle beams, X-ray lasers and grasers and electromagnetic rail guns and plasma bolts and all the other exotic stuff that existed back then - but rather, the problem was computation, communication, and control, in short, we lacked at that time the computing power to track and target all the thousands of ICBM warheads the Russians possessed, and added to this, the communications required the accurate transmission of all that data wirelessly from ground to satellite, or vice-versa. We had the x-ray lasers and later, the reusable GRASERS (thanks to certain physical effects discovered as a result of the Reagan era program), so it was possible to place those weapons in space and fry Soviet warheads (or, as the Russians rightly pointed out, fry Russian cities not with hydrogen bombs but with coherent gamma rays).

The hardware wasn't the problem. The problem, so to speak, was the software.

With all this context in mind, consider now the implications of this article:

Raytheon and Battelle join DARPA program to create 100-gigabit-per-second wireless links

Granted, such a wireless communication capability would be one of those "force multipliers" that the military so loves, particularly on the modern GPS-guided battlefield with its air-and-artillery delivered smart munitions. Indeed, the picture at the top of this article is designed to get one thinking in these rather limited tactical and operational terms.

But the real application and implication, it seems to me, is the strategic one. What I suspect we're really looking at is the communication system for strategic missile defense (and I am defining the term "missile" here very loosely!) in space. And, as the Europeans and Russians have also announced their plans for such space-based and ground based systems, I strongly suspect that what we are looking at here - since it is out in the public sphere - is but the tip of the computational-communications iceberg, and that the covert capability probably exceeds the 100 gigbits/second we are being told about. Such a communications capability is, needless to say, well-suited to the strategic requirements of near-Earth space defense. Such a fiber optic scale communications ability, done wireless, and with fiber optic scale of signal degradation, would be a boon to space based missile defense. It also implies an ability to scan "missiles" for information...

To put it more bluntly, something is going on, folks, and I don't think it's all down here on Earth...

See you on the flip side...

    “To put it more bluntly, something is going on, folks, and I don’t think it’s all down here on Earth…”
    I took the liberty to substitute Kardashev measure of civilization types with Stargate measure of civilization types.
    type SG1: our entire galaxy is connected by the stargate systems.
    type Atlantis: our galaxy is connected to other galaxies by the stargate systems.
    type Universe: recharge “destiny” at every stars available, the capability to explore the boundless universe.
    Until of course “destiny” discovered a planet that can brings dead to life, an artificial planet with an obelisk sitting in the middle of a land surrounded by circular mountain range.

    -NASA retracted a video of the sun showing comets crashing into the sun causing massive solar storms that’s gonna have apocalyptic effect to civilizations on earth is actually earth-size spaceships using sun spots, which are black-hole vortex as “stargate”.
    -The moon is 27 percent the size of Earth, and it’s the biggest UFO just parking right there.
    -The core of the earth is roughly the same size of the moon, what a coincidence.
    If any one asks me whether i have seen an UFO or not, i suppose i can tell them “sure, look at the moon over there, there’s your UFO.”
    But what if anyone asks me if i have ever aboard one of the spaceships of its kind, i’m wondering if i can reply by saying “sure, i actually live on the spaceship”.
    Perhaps, its all down here afterall.

    If James McCanney’s solar capacitor comet theory is correct, (that comets can cause electrical effects at distance and their tails can dump matter into the atmosphere due to planetary and comet charge imbalances) then the asteroid comet defence explanation is a psy op.

    As birth rate levels around the planet crash, the old ‘boots on ground’ method won’t suffice and chemical powered systems (aircraft, rockets etc) have reached a technical and price ceiling.

    How much better to hide open energy systems technology than to keep them hidden in space. Classic esoteric, exoteric mechanism, wouldn’t want Spacenet lackeys to leak all those UFOs flying around.

    Interestingly, Tesla’s technology required a massive superstructure (planetary, solar) to concentrate ether (due to its infinitesimal size) which then could be ‘beamed’ to mobile platforms. Its going to take an awful lot of computing power to track and beam mobile platforms.

    http://www.es.net/news-and-publications/esnet-news/2013/greg-bell-answers-five-questions-about-networking-s-connection-to-supercomputing/

    ESnet5, managed by the U.S. DOE, connecting 40 major research institutions, runs a 100GB fiber optic system.

    I believe Dr. Farrell, this may be a part of what you referred to in your post.

    Note to you: It is overseen/admin via Lawrence Berkeley Lab. Sound familiar?

    I refer you back to Adiabatic Quantum Computers I’ve mentioned before.
    http://www.dwavesys.com/en/dw_homepage.html

    The ESnet5 fiber system will shortly, if not already be connected to with this new generation of quantum computers.
    As will no doubt, this new 100GB wireless system.

    The ability to track the status of each ICBM on the planet, and other weapons systems, is a task these new quantum computers are well suited for.

    I will leave it at that… at least for now.

      ….as he comes back to add more…

      President Reagan is oft tagged/credited with the phrase; “Trickle-down Economics”.

      Doc: You may have coined this one… however I shall toss it out anyway;
      “Trickle-up Technology”

      Much like the pyramid in shape and form, we are being “allowed” to see but the tip of technology fifteen years in advance of these revelations.

      Therefore, my question to you: How long before we see the manifestation of an overt, two-tiered societal structure for all human-kind, and specifically on our planet?

      Thank you as always!

    This strike seems like it may force big gov. to make some concessions: Truckers strike and general US population strike to not shop or bank October 11 through 13th.

    “The American people are sick and tired of the corruption that is destroying America! We therefore declare a GENERAL STRIKE on the weekend of October 11-13, 2013! Truck drivers will not haul freight! Americans can strike in solidarity with truck drivers!

    Breaker 1 9 calling on all Trucker to shut America down for three days October 11-13. The American people are bleeding out with no relief in sight, It is time to change the NEWS. Let us show our elected officials that we are 100% fed up with corruption and the blatant disregard of the Constitution that they swore to defend.

    Bob tail it hammer down to the bull$hit city with flags flying high.

    My fellow Patriot this effort is to support the truckers in a major shut down of America ion a 3 day strike October 11th thru 13th.

    Obamacare will be in effect and most people will be ready to take action. No commerce on those days stock up on items that you will need. No banking no shopping no money transactions. It does not matter If a million or 50 roll through DC in this effort. Congress will listen to We The People. Which is remove Obama from office for crimes of treason and misdemeanors. We want Congressional hearing on Benghazi and Seal Team 6. Louis Learner put in jail. No amnesty, remove all Muslims in our government that do not uphold the Constitution. Remove Eric Holder from office for crimes against the people and the Constitution. Last but not least is Fuel prices.”

    good idea i say

    A little bit off topic, but kudos to Dr. Farrell once again for being ahead of the curve on this one:

    http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/nsa-spying-european-parliamentarians-call-for-swift-suspension-a-922920.html

    “Revelations the US is spying on international bank transfers have angered European parliamentarians. Some are calling for the suspension of the SWIFT deal between the EU and US. “Washington must make clear where it stands,” says one.”

    I also think the article identifies the breakaway intelligence operation within the NSA the banksters may be so miffed about:

    “Follow the Money” is the name of the NSA branch that handles the surveillance.”

    And the banksters’ usual toadies weigh in:

    “Social Democrats, Liberals, Greens and leftists in the European Parliament want more. They have demanded the suspension of the SWIFT deal between the US and the EU. “The Americans are apparently breaking into the system. We are being played for fools and spied on without limits,” said liberal European parliamentarian Sophie in ‘t Veld.”

    that could also be the mother of all life…..from a different perspective
