My impressions on the satellite shooting
When this first came up a few days ago, I said to myself, there is no way this is what they say it is. They have ulterior motives.
I think there was something on that satellite that they didn't want to fall into the wrong hands. I also think it was used as a show of force, to say, "see what we can do."
Also, the fact that they said they weren't going to shoot it down because of the weather and then reported that they did, in fact, shoot it down, tells me they didn't want witnesses.

Thoughts, anyone?

4. I started to post a new topic on this subject just as you were
Then I stopped because I thought there was no point. When I came back to the keyboard there was your post! Funny. Coincidence?


Your thoughts were the same as mine. We are in agreement.

5. Believe it or not,
there was a thread somewhere else on this board that I posted my thoughts on about this.

My thoughts were, and continue to be, that there is no way in hell their story line is truth.

6. Weapons-sales demonstration. Just like the first Iraq invasion.

7. If it's done with BushCo's seal of approval you have to know
something is not on the up and up and what they say is not what their true intent is. They have a track record of this, so it's not hard to come to this conclusion.

8. I agree that it's a show of force--to China
China has requested information from the U.S. on the shooting down of this satellite. I believe we owe China so much money that the U.S. is afraid they are going to foreclose or something (whatever one country does to another). I think the financial situation is far worse than the public knows. I believe we are trying to scare China into leaving us alone.

10. Re: econcomy
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 02:46 PM by votesomemore
You know .. I received a video last night about a financial strike. I don't know how *loony* it might be. There's a 'movement' of sorts. Anyway. I'm not so sure any more that the American people are going to have to cough up for the debt. We didn't make it. Plus all the money came from the Federal Reserve, which we have no control or ownership of. It seems to me the debt is their's. There was brief discussion of this on another thread. This may have legs.

ps. If a side effect of an economic break down is that the people are allowed control over the monetary system, it would be a good thing. TPTB don't want that to happen. They would be out of business. They will scare us that it is bad for us. But I have my doubts they will let their golden goose meet the chopping block. We have so much more power than they want us to believe we have.

11. Richard Hoagland's theory on this
Yes, it was a show of force, but one with lots of symbolic overtones. First of all, and this is really weird, if true, the head of NASA was among those that actually announced this exercise. And it was strictly a military, not a NASA exercise.

The symbolism (Hoagloand says) had to do with it being an eclipse of the moon, and it was shot down from 19.5 degrees latitude, which has a meaning in hyperdimensional physics. Maybe various pyramids, etc. are on that latitude or something?

He speculates that the purpose was to warn China not to bring back technology that they discover from manned moon missions-- this was a warning to them that we would shoot them down--a veiled threat.

Now this is not necessarily my thought on this. I think we wanted to test some technology, plus keep our satellite out of unfriendly hands, should it land sort of intact over Russia or China.

But who knows?

13. he's a tinfoil hat type person
Plus he is a big believer of the face on Mars etc. Sometimes he makes sense, and sometimes he doesn't. I just thought I would throw that out there. I think remote viewers have seen various technologies on the "dark side" of the moon.

I wonder why in the heck we stopped going to the moon. It doesn't make sense--doing the shuttle program instead of the moon program. I don't get it.

14. If there were alien tech on the moon, and the gov knew about it, we'd have an endless
space program, and endless flights to the moon. Perhaps they'd never tell us what for, but there would be an extreme empetus to claim it, and to claim it first and completely.

15. I think there are treaties
That don't allow anyone to claim the moon. Otherwise I guess we would have claimed it the first time.

Whatever is on the moon, or not on the moon, it sure makes a lot more sense to me to go to the moon, try to establish bases, etc. than to drop back for forty years and have that shuttle and space station circling the earth. The manned part of our space program makes no sense to me.

Bush made that speech about sending men to the moon and Mars, and hasn't mentioned it since. I guess he dropped it because it gave everyone the excuse to bring up just exactly how much we had spent on Iraq, our being practically bankrupt, etc.

I think our shooting down the satellite was some sort of show of force. I just don't know exactly why. Does anyone think that the eclipse of the moon that very night was a coincidence? It is possible, but it just doesn't seem likely. I don't know the whys of that. I just find it odd/suspicious.

16. I agree w/Hoagland & the other thread about UFO's
Yes, I wear my tinfoil hat proudly! :tinfoilhat:

I, too, did not "buy" this story.

Call me cynical, but I have trouble taking anything that comes out of DC or our military at any kind of face value. Seems everything is just a cover for some hidden agenda.

17. I have a very lovely tinfoil hat dontchaknow??
The agenda we are shown is NEVER the real agenda but I am sure there is one and it's most nefarious. This is what I get for diving headlong into David Icke territory. :) Once you've been shown a glimpse of what's behind the curtain, you can never 'not' see again.

It's my sense and greatest hope that more and more are awakening to what is really going on and together we can move things more into the light. Lots of work to do, my friends. (aack! I sound like McCain! Stab me now!)
