I've never said "the technology doesn't exist." I have pointed out that space lasers don't exist. I have never said or suggested that our technology is different from the Israeli technology (all light bulbs work the same way, to use a prosaic example), though it may not be precisely identical (many different light bulb designs). It is not secret technology, insofar as the science is concerned. It is a matter of workmanship. Unless you have a system in hand for dissection and copying, you have to make it yourself. Russia and China are similarly occupied.

I oppose only sheer ignorance, which is here in abundance, along with rejection of any actual expertise. I'm not being paid a cent by anyone. Want to pay me to shut up?

My site name is simply a literal fact. Originally, I thought it to be a bit of humor (ironic that it would be true). I have been involved in laser weapon design, proposal, and analysis over a span of 30 years. You guys haven't, and it shows. I don't have time to waste patting myself on the back, and my arms aren't made for it. But I do adhere to the old Texas saying: "It ain't bragging if you can prove it." You simply don't like credentials or experience. As for demeaning, if I had a dime for every curse, insult, or name thrown at me from the noble gentlemen of this site, I would be a rich man. I limit my harshness to telling people they are ignorant---when they are. Even now, you accuse me of being a paid shill---entirely out of your own imagination. In my world, 2 + 2 = 4, and I have no need to apologize for it. (In recent talk about the assassination in Panama, some commenter---in total certainty---identified the assassin's pistol as a Sig 226. So I looked up images for a Sig 226. No possible way that pistol was a Sig 226, or a 225; the physical characteristics are distinctive.. The confident person never bothered to confirm his hunch and just hung himself out to dry. Everyone gave him a pass.)

Here's a chilling thought: Suppose the "controlled opposition narrative" is actually the truth? How would you ever know? You start out with an assumption that it is a lie, and then evolve further imaginary lies to "explain" questions resulting largely from your own ignorance and prejudice. From this, it is only a step to "fringe conspiracies," which are forbidden on this sight, but which are indulged in like public drunkenness.
