Well, things seem to come in waves... I woke up this morning (Saturday Feb 2) fully intent upon finishing this week's coming blogs, and discovered that my computer was totally fried. So please bear with me until I can get this sorted out. In any case, I ran across this article and several of you also emailed it to me, and given that Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations just came out, I have to comment on it. Secret Space War: America’s Former Nazi Scientists Dream of Ruling the World The first thing to note here is precisely that this is a Russian analysis. With that in mind, the … [Read more...]
WHAT IS THE REAL GOAL OF UFO SECRECY? PART TWO
Yesterday I began a commentary on the following article in the European Times, about Russia's Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev "ordering" President Obama to come clean about aliens, or the Russians would do it for him: Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will You'll recall that yesterday I argued that the secrecy of the American government concerning the topic of UFOs may have as its ultimate goal and target not so much to keep matters secret from the public, but from the operators of UFOs, whoever they may be. It is conceivable, I argued, that the reason for the secrecy is … [Read more...]
WHAT IS THE REAL GOAL OF UFO SECRECY? PART ONE
Now, interjecting an article about UFO secrecy in general, and American government UFO secrecy in particular, into the over all context of a running series of blogs commenting about gold repatriation, hidden systems of finance, re-hypothecation, and seismic German geopolitical realignments, may seem like the surest form of irrelevance and madness, but I assure you, there's method in it. The method is suggested by this article in the European Times: Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will In my opinion, there have … [Read more...]
SPACE MILITARIZATION: THE “DEATH STAR” PETITION
HAPPY MAYAN APOCALYPSE everyone! Apropos of the day, I thought I'd talk about the theme of this website: space death stars and militarization. While talking recently on the phone with my friend George Ann Hughes of The Byte Show, we talked about something she had drawn to my attention: a formal petition to the White House for the USA to build a "death star" space-based strategic weapons platform. At the time, my reaction was to chuckle nervously, but soon my email boxes were overflowing with articles from many of you, one of which concerned this very petition. First, we need a little … [Read more...]
THE NEW ARMS RACE: LASERS
DARPA is at it again folks (or, really, do they ever quit?). According to this article, the USA is set to acquire a new prototype laser weapons system, capable of being fit onto a flatbed truck, for operational defense against aircraft, missiles, even mortar rounds: DARPA Unveils Drone-Slaying War Laser One notable thing about this article however, and that is its insistence that atmospheric distortion limits the operationally effective range of lasers, and that, of course, is true. This was indeed one of the primary public criticisms of President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense … [Read more...]
LASERS TO RIP APART THE VACUUM
Yesterday I blogged about the effort of NASA to study the technological avenues to the creation of a practical "tractor" beam, and noted the phenomenon long known to optical scientists of particles traveling backward along a beam in the opposite direction to its propagation. Well, scientists are also exploring the possibility of an ultra-powerful laser to rip apart the vacuum itself, in order to test one of the planks of quantum mechanics: World\'s most powerful laser to tear apart the vacuum of space Note those opening paragraphs: this laser would be (1) 200 times more powerful than any … [Read more...]
