Evidence?

Do you really thing their take is that far-fetched? Plenty of fools wanted to nuke the damn Russkies while we had the chance in the 50s (Eisenhower wouldn't hear of it) and plenty around Kennedy urged a hitting of Russia, and hard, over the Cuban missile thing.

SDI is a bald faced attempt to neutralize the offensive capability of others while retaining ours.

Could be the Russians are spot on here.

And, of course, you know this beyond doubt, I presume. If indeed the Russians were right, would there be any reason for any part of the official story to be true?

Your take on the remote might be correct but . . .

holy crap. Things are rarely as simple as they seem. How many Americans did the Vietnamese "barbarian communist animals" kill in the US? How many Vietnamese did we kill there?

He who smelt it, dealt it.

Not being an absolutist, I cannot think of anything I know beyond doubt. Reasonable doubt, that's another issue.

In order for the multibillion dollar satellite to be a fabrication we must involve the intelligence community (not too hard), the civilian bureaucracy (NASA, GAO, CBO, etc), Congress and the President. A conspiracy that large is beyond reasonable doubt.

evidence
 

I don't have any evidence. I just like to think opposite of the sheeple. Somewhere between what the sheeple are fed (and subsequently respew) and the opposite lies the truth. Besides, my response made this boring thread worth continuing.

No its not that far fetched. My theory on this is as follows. Someone screws up so a crazy expensive satellite is falling to earth. Chances of it doing damage by hitting something is .000001%. So since the Chinese just knocked one out of the sky this is a good time to do the same and at least get something out of this super expensive flop. They can sell the danger of rocket fuel or parts killing people as a reason to do it.

Most likely the message is to China; "don't get to cocky, were still ahead".

Thats my take on it.

Remember the story I told you about a spook and conspiracy theorist?;)

It ended with "whatever you say Mr. Conspiracy Theorist, the only place a conspiracy can successfully take place without anyone knowing is in your mind"

Yes. It is why their imaginative minds are so obviously full of rich organic natural fertilizer.

Sounds good to me. Where's the problem?

I wonder if this thing has nuclear material on it... wouldn't be the first time... that crap aerosol-ing itself in the upper atmosphere could cause some nasty problems for life on earth. The hydrazine pill plopping down in some urban center wouldn't be fun either... But then again, if they have a pretty clear picture of its orbital decay, which presumably they do because it is a heavily instrumented, heavily monitored piece of precision measuring equipment, they should be able to predict fairly accurately where its gonna touch down, right?

Why would the U.S. government engage in silly posturing schemes as "one-upping" China? It just doesn't make any sense. We know we have the Chinese outgunned, and so do they. In fact, its been that way for at least the past 150 years.. no need to waste resources proving it yet again:rolleyes: all but the dullest of idiots can see the writing on the wall here...

btw, I wouldn't doubt that there are, somewhere, 27 8x10 glossy color pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.. and enshrined in a file cabinet somewhere in Washington, a study in black and white of my fingerprints. lol great song.

I don't see a problem either. The conspiracy guys love this stuff and the internet is like crack to them. The interweb is like their own little world, one in which the US government can keep secrets!:eek::D

foil hat
 

Hey Hatterasguy,
You could make yourself some extra spending money by going into the tin foil hat business?

No nukes. Just lots of carcinogens.

Bah! Any fool knows that Blofeld brought that satellite down.
