[playing g-d] the mindset of those in power

This long, rambling post is basically a few fragments from a vast whole thrown together to touch on different aspects of the mindset of "the power" and why I am so opposed to them.

It's not intended as proof but more as a few pointers, which I owed a few people, on the mindset of a particular class of person who gets him/herself into power.

The Fed itself has been done to death, including Greenspan, so he's not covered below.

Atmospheric experimentation

A long article prepared by Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D., GNSH - these are just two fragments:

Project Argus (1958)

# Between August and September 1958, the US Navy exploded three fission type nuclear bombs 480 km above the South Atlantic Ocean, in the part of the lower Van Allen Belt closest to the earth's surface. In addition, two hydrogen bombs were detonated 160 km over Johnston Island in the Pacific. The military called this "the biggest scientific experiment ever undertaken."

It was designed by the US Department of Defense and the US Atomic Energy Commission, under the code name Project Argus.

# The US Military planned to create a "telecommunications shield" in the ionosphere, reported in 13-20 August 1961, Keesings Historisch Archief (K.H.A.). This shield would be created "in the ionosphere at 3,000 km height, by bringing into orbit 350,000 million copper needles, each 2-4 cm long [total weight 16 kg], forming a belt 10 km thick and 40 km wide, the needles spaced about 100 m apart."

This was designed to replace the ionosphere "because telecommunications are impaired by magnetic storms and solar flares."

SPS Military Implications (1978)

Early review of the Solar Powered Satellite Project began in around 1978, and I was on the review panel. Although this was proposed as an energy program, it had significant military implications.

One of the most significant, first pointed out by Michael J. Ozeroff, was the possibility of developing a satellite-borne beam weapon for anti-ballistic missile (ABM) use. The satellites were to be in geosynchronous orbits, each providing an excellent vantage point from which an entire hemisphere can be surveyed continuously.

  2. I like Sean's comment. You know what §I think - power is about staying in power - and of course so-called "scientific advances" are often pretexts for war machines.
