Plenty of weapons technology not available to the rest of us. No surprise in that, But not always hidden. Not always secret. And not from another planet. And typically produced by civilian companies. Has your guy gone public? Written a book?
I will admit that I had one invention disclosure "disappeared" by my company's security staff. I had produced a categorical solution to a very vexing classified problem (elaborated in an article in Aviation Week). To me, it was obvious. Any Iranian chemistry grad student could have arrived at the same answer. I'm not overly bothered. The same obvious answer will occur to somebody else---but not to us, I'm sorry to say.
"Do" we? Time will tell. But we did 50 years ago, if that is any consolation.
By the way (duh), the video confirms the fact that the airplane was obliterated. Just because the reality does not conform to how ignorant people think a plane should crash does not mean that their ignorance supersedes reality. "Oh, it couldn't do that!" is an all too-common exclamation from the ignorant, who have no expertise in what could or could not happen. Or who, in any case, prefer their imaginations to reality.
It's simple. They don't want anyone to investigate "Q." They want everyone to accept the "narrative" that there is a "Qanon," their creature that they can paint in lurid colors.
But a 2018 post is not prophecy. I still have car insurance, too. Lots of things remain in place for lots of people. And thank God for John Solomon, and other people.
I don't much care about rank or station. The Russians have had some success killing large numbers of officer-rank Ukrainians at combat headquarters...including foreign advisors. You say they are not going to do this, yet there they are. Who comes back alive? There are families who may want answers to what happened to their sons, husbands, and brothers.
Indeed, I was lucky. In my sophomore year, the U.S. transitioned to the lottery system and I drew a 300. Who said anything about accountability? I was just saying that performing faithfully in an imperialistic operation does not make a soldier a hero. Who wants to be known as the pilot who bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade?
Since Flight 77 was a 757, you are already off to a bad start. They did it, but it resulted in destruction. Can't argue with success.
Flight 77 was an airplane, was tracked by radar departing from airport and turning to head toward Pentagon, was identified as an airplane by multiple witnesses on the ground (and one in the air), clipped traffic light poles, and hit the building. Parts were found. Not a rocket. Not even a missile, as it followed the wrong terminal trajectory.
Plane crashes can pretty much obliterate the wreckage, particularly if the plane had a dive angle and punched into the earth. Human beings are much more fragile than metal parts. Ever heard of hamburger?
When one is being used to prosecute imperialism by killing the wrong people, with no relationship to the defense of our homeland, then, no, you are no hero and the American people should not support you.
I know that puts paid to the veterans of Vietnam, for whom I have sympathy. But the shadow play was very evident by the late 1960s when I was going to college and faced with the draft. The U.S. government was not interested in winning a war; it was only interested in expending manpower to continue a war. I was glad not to be a part of it. The returning vets got unjust treatment, in part. They were forced to do things they shouldn't have had to do by otherwise legal authority (though some might question that, with grounds). They suffered. But they also participated in a killing spree from both sides. If the ends justified the means, the ends were a failure and the means were unjustified.
The next occasion where we were on the wrong side was in Kosovo, bombing Serbians, our former World War II allies, for the sake of an insurrectionist Islamic overthrow of government in Kosovo.
And then we have the middle east. We all have the best opinion and wishes for our servicemen, but the spectacle of our corrupt foreign policy may also be a factor in the dwindling recruitment rates.
Well, when you are fighting secretly to support and sustain a genocidal neo-Nazi regime, I would say you are no hero.
And don't bother to give me the loyalty shakedown. My great-great-grandfather fought on the Union side to end slavery. My grandfather was mustered into the Army for the Spanish-American War. My father went into the Navy to fight World War II and the Korean War. My uncle went into the Army Air Corps to fight World War II and stayed in until retirement. My brother went into the Navy.
Fighting in Ukraine, as I understand it, is a volunteer effort whereby the fighter simply resigns his commission as a U.S. soldier and then signs up as a mercenary. If it is voluntary, all aspects of morality apply. If it is not voluntary, you are being dragooned into illegal homicide...and still not a hero.
Then give it to them. You don't need my approval.
I get it. Surovikin is innocent because the alternative is unthinkable---to you. Just like Benedict Arnold had an impeccable career of patriotic service in the War of Independence.
It is only factual. Reality is what is present, to be seen and touched. The past is indeed memory, or history. Artifacts of the past are real enough, but they are not "the past" in the sense of anything relating to causes and effects. The future is unknown, though maybe predictable based on past experience and present trends.
I don't think you understand my point at all---which is that there is no such thing as "spacetime" as a physical plenum of events. There is space (3 dimensions) and time, but time exists only as the present. The fact that we can plot trajectories through time is only an aspect of physics, not evidence that there is a past or a future we can "travel" to.
Consequent to the above (and because the origin is just a tale), there is no Project Looking Glass. Nothing to be seen. Nor any concept of "seeing" it. It is hard enough to "see" the present.
Look, I'm not interested in inter-sectarian debates. The very first Christians founded the Church of Jerusalem. And others. After a thousand years, the Bishop of the Roman Church got delusions of grandeur and declared himself a Pope. The other bishops of the various churches didn't agree. The "Seat of St. Peter" is an invention of the Church of Rome. Over time, the Church of Rome arrogated to itself the term "catholic," which is where we are today. And the Church of Rome has intervened into scientific inquiry with, for example, the arrest of Gallileo. In other matters, you ought to pay attention to the critique of Martin Luther, as regards the spiritual corruption of the Church of Rome.
As for the dependence of science and technology on Christianity, I have already given you a reference to a very long list of Christian scientists and inventors, so kindly drop the pose that you have to convince me of anything.
By the way, the Big Bang is not turning out to be such a good hypothesis. The observational evidence of Halton Arp seems to show the universe being in a continual state of creation.
Why would it "look fake"? It was reported in the Russian Telegram channels as well. This is clearly an evolving story.
I do not like Garland on any level. In every photo I see of him, I mentally add vampire fangs, and it seems to complete the picture.
Makes you wonder if they had been touched by the CIA through Ukraine. And were compromising Russian ground actions. I can order popcorn for this movie.
I wish people would not jump on the bigotry of taking a CPAP mask as a symbol of feebleness. Sleep apnea comes on anyone without warning, and I didn't know I had it until I had suffered it for decades. It is a slumping of the airway tissues that interrupts breathing and results in lowered blood oxygen. It can lead to enlargement of the heart and other problems. A CPAP machine keeps the airway inflated with positive ventilation pressure. Since the problem arises only when one is supine, it is necessary to wear a mask to supply the ventilation pressure. That he uses one is at least a testament to the due diligence of his medical team. He has plenty of other foibles to lampoon. This is beyond his (or anyone's) control.
Somehow, I have never noticed any marks on my face, but I don't tighten it hard enough to do that. Too uncomfortable. I might get some on the nape of my neck, but---guess what?---I don't see them in the mirror!
Speaking of Jonathan Winters, he played an excellent straight role as the uncle to Lamont Cranston (Alec Baldwin) in "The Shadow" (1994). Very deft touch for character.
Yes, you have to sleep in a CPAP mask. That's the whole point.
Not to mention the fact that they would doubtless have a backup or two in reserve. Cheap at twice the price...
Double yep. I have to use one. He probably has a full face mask. He may not be a very disciplined sleeper (e.g., if he likes to sleep on his stomach---I can't do that with my "nose pillow" mask, as I would suffocate).
I was working at the Boeing plant in south Seattle during the run-up to the final eruption. My route home from work was due south, pointing roughly in the direction of Mount St. Helens. I didn't have that fact in mind as I drove, reached the height of a rise, and saw directly in front of me what for all the world looked like a nuclear mushroom cloud over where the city of Tacoma was! It took me a few seconds to realize that it was just an ash cloud from St. Helens, but those were a very spicy few seconds.
It would help to understand that Evergreen Aviation was at one time (if not presently) the world leader in airborne forest fire-fighting extinguisher aircraft. https://evergreenaviation.com/california-calls-in-worlds-largest-fire-extinguisher-to-combat-deadly-wildfires/ Not chemtrails. Extinguisher agent (by the ton). Unless you like forest fires.
Trying to suss out the code meaning of "Evergreen" is a fool's errand. I live in the "Evergreen State." My property is surrounded by "evergreens" (conifers). What does it mean to me? That you are wasting your time. You might as well look for the code meaning of "brown." Or "green." Or "leather."
