 Science
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?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click
"rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for
on this thread.
Posting on Psychwarfare, Casablanca - - - and terror
represent a lot of effort on my part - and I think a lot of
those postings are worth reading - perhaps especially since
mid September. They are condensed and crossreferenced
summaries of things said here.
Here is the link to the Oct 12 posting http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.ee7a163/364
On October 3, there was a sequence of postings on the NYT
Missile Defense forum - and all the NYT forums were closed
down thereafter for four days. I was cut off sometime less
than an hour after I posted this
" it is now technically easy to shoot
down every winged aircraft the US has, or can expect to
build - to detect every submarine - and to sink every
surface ship within 500 miles of land - the technology for
doing this is basic - and I see neither technical nor
tactical countermeasures."
All of the NYT forums were shut down for "urgent
maintenance" shortly thereafter. Some of the material involved
in that day's posting was set out, with supporting technical
detail, in postings #330-338 of Psychwarfare, Casablanca .
. . and terror , an International Talk thread (for links,
click " rshowalter " http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?224@@2cb4d7cb@.ee7a163/364
). Postings #330-338 of Psychwarfare have been referred to
repeatedly on the NYT MD forum since it reappeared on the 7th.
When the NYT forums reappeared, I was pleased that only a
few postings after 9:14 am NY time were deleted, and that the
last postings permitted to remain when the forums reappeared
on the 7th were my 4739 and 4740 rshow55

Anybody who thinks that
"If the missile's guidance system can "see"
the target the target will almost always be hit even if it
is maneuvering. "
would dismiss that as a coincidence.
If gisterme , or anybody else, can find an engineer,
with a name and an engineering ticket to put at risk, who'd
say
"If the missile's guidance system can "see"
the target the target will almost always be hit even if it
is maneuvering. "
and say that subject to crossexamination - I'd be quite
surprised. The statement is grossly false.
Out.

OUT? And the gang's all here ...
Gathered yet unconnected dots ... why connect ... ever worn

'Say hi to George' (The Poster) ... not 'Thee George!' ?
""This article is based on a talk that was presented
at a November, 1997 meeting of the Connecticut Society's
Roger Sherman Branch by Robert Russell (center), First
Selectman of Wilton and potential SAR. The setting was the
Wilton Historical Heritage Museum. Working closely with him
in the preparation of the article's manuscript were two
members of the branch: Michael R. Harke (left) and Paul
Caravatt. Here they are shown in the Museum examining a
gilded piece of the George III statue - believed to be from
the royal drapery (see drawing reproduced elsewhere).
Missing Pieces Begin To Show Up
This might have been the end of the story, but fifty
years later, in Wilton; the missing pieces began to surface.
About 1822, young William Comstock, whose grandfather had
lived in the Raymond Tavern from 1799-1814, was digging in a
field on the hill across the street, near the pond now known
as the Davis Swamp. He came upon a 75-lb. piece of lead in
the shape of a saddle. It was identified by an aged veteran
as a part of the King George statue. The Comstocks sold it
to a New York City resident who sold it to Riley's Fifth
Ward Museum Hotel in New York City. After Riley's death in
1864, it disappeared.
Also in the 1820s a piece of the lead coat skirt was
found by Moses Olmstead under the milk room on the property
of his aunt Abigail Sloan, a half mile up the road. Aunt
Nabby said that her late husband David (known to be a Tory)
had taken some pieces in 1776 and hidden them. (Source:
article by Samuel Main, dated Jan 21, 1881.) This piece was
shown by Moses Olmstead in 1829, but has not been seen
since.
Illustrates the point that too often history has to be
pieced together .... dots connected ... to try to get to
truth.
USA mid-late C20 history has dots on major issues which
don't connect ... where truth isn't 'seen' because it's
muddied and clouded.
As i asked above - WHO KILLED KENNEDY and WHY?
Who had something to gain?
What did they have to gain?
Who gained financially?
Who master-mined the death
Who muddied it further?
Why isn't the real truth OUT?
People generally don't want war with Iraq!
That's a
fact.
People generally do want a better deal for the people of
Iraq.
That's a fact.
For the people of Africa.
For the Arab world.
For
the people who're ill, sick, undernourished.
For 'THE
PEOPLE'
That's a fact!
