Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

"Quae cum ita sunt" Caesar's Gallic Commentaries

Kalter:

good post on the ABL. I'm surprised that rshowalt, (has he been blocked again only to show up in a new nom de pleume?), hasn't trotted our his silverized balloon countermeasures devices.

wrcooper? Is that you. I thought you were me?

Hey everybody, Robert is going to produce an CD of all his rigermarole, (sic), and maybe he is ...sick that is. He purports to be a mathematician. Could you imagine if he were to rewrite Einstein's E=MC2. It would have 10^google variables with an index of defintions raised 10^ googleplex. But of course that is the abridged version. Robert. Today I am Condi Rise!!!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and ....Oh nevermind! Oopsn now I'm Emily Latella!

WYSIWYG Showalter is always Showalter a real person listed in the Madison phone book, he says, RING and CHECK!

Who pretends to be who on the thread?

George Johnson who likes to think of himself as an eminent nyt sci reporter ... pretends and playacts and one presumes is handsomely paid by the ShadowGovernment out of tax payer's pockets for the repetitive banalities dashed under hack-pen-name monikers:

REAL bona fida Journalists work under ethical guidelines ... listed here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=journalism+ethics&btnG=Google+Search

Whenever Johnson scribbles on the forum there will be one of two reasons - he's looking for wordage to submit as evidence for payment, or, he's told to do so to distance the reader from a batch of postings that get at the truths the Shadow Government wants to cover-up and hide.

A lot of Johnson ... has to mean a lot of pertinent postings prior to his showing!

Eventually, when there is enough provokation, over long enough - actions are justified. I've been giving a little thought to suing George Johnson personally -- in our interchanges he's been engaged in a great deal that can quite reasonably be called fraud . There's a great deal of documentation in my files -- over years -- a great deal of it involving some very deceptive correspondence from Johnson under various pseudonyms. Much of it private, and set up so that it required, and got, a lot of hard effort from me. Are those pseudonyms "penetrable?" Under court usages, they could be and should be. I think that the NYT, which has reason to be proud of so much, has reason to be ashamed of George Johnson.

I believe that THE NEW YORK TIMES , lchic, almarst, gisterme, and I have reason to be proud of the things set out in MD2000. Things which have not been significantly disputed, though they've often been posted.

The golden rule works for both defense and offense.

As I said in MD3195:

Detail and the Golden Rule http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@244.zVafax4sarZ.8@.eece621/0 .... starts with discussion of some issues of national security law, and discussions between me and the CIA.

Issues that aren't closed yet, but that are getting nearer to closure.

And yes, based on evidence and conversation, I think the U. S. government cares what I say.

Bush and Cheney - if they stand down would international confidence in American Markets rise ?

~~~~~~~~~~

The Observer - London

an investigation of accounting changes introduced under Cheney.

Most of Halliburton's government contracts were won by its construction subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown and Root - a company with British origins that was sold to the US parent in the 1970s.

Documents uncovered by a Washington researcher, Knut Royce - formerly with the Centre for Public Integrity - and by The Observer show that government banks loaned or insured loans worth $1.5 billion during the five years that Cheney was chief executive, compared with only $100 million during the previous five years.

$3.8 billion - Cheney ...

The company under Cheney benefited from $3.8bn in government contracts or insured loans. Although Bill Clinton was in the White House, Capitol Hill - where the Appropriations Committee handles government contracts - was controlled by Cheney's Republican Party, to which Halliburton doubled its contributions to $1,212,000 after his arrival. ^{(The Observer)}
