THOR Anti Drone Microwave Weapon

  Having spent 14 years in microwave working for a military-industrial company I can see how this approach would work against drones in place of expensive weapons.

The future of politics as we know it

Image
 I'll be back No, you won't

Think before the act

Why guns, and killing, war in our streets and homes? Who are we angry at, life, death, ourselves? Legislation can’t stop killing, but it make harder for a person to commit a crime. In the sixties I was stationed in Spain. The country at that time was controlled by it’s dictator Francisco Franco. Non military personal were not allowed by law to own a hand gun, only a shotgun for hunting. Crime was ruthlessly suppressed. The number of unmarked graves in Spain at that time exceeded any other country in Europe. The people didn’t kill each other, the government did if it wanted to. Democracy is not an excuse to use vigilante means to invoke justice. We as a people are the tool, the rule that determines how we act. Unfortunately free information is not free because it can binds usto the will and fiction of others. Think! Know who you are and what is right for your family, for the country before taking up arms and invoking your constitutional rights.    ...

The recent attack on the Kremlin should have been at Novo Ogaryovo

Image
  "Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti that Putin wasn’t in the Kremlin at the time and was working from the Novo-Ogaryovo residence." How did two drones fly 280 miles without being intercepted by Moscow's air defense? "Mr Putin has very high personal protection and the BBC's Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg says it is astonishing to think that drones could have got anywhere near the Kremlin." sources vindy.com  bbc.com

Starlink annoys Russia

Image
" SpaceX launched 21 new Starlink satellites last week. As of April 20, there  are  a little over 3,300 operational Starlink satellites with plans in place to  put  tens of thousands more into orbit. The SpaceX satellites have been crucial to Ukraine’s ability to coordinate its defense since the Russian invasion. Where once a targeted strike against communications infrastructure would hobble a military, Starlink provides reliable, high-speed internet communications to frontline troops."  "The impact Starlink had on the war so annoyed Russia that by September 2022, it  complained  to the United Nations about the “ever-growing risks of outer space becoming a launching pad for aggression.” Specifying the “provocative use of civilian satellites,” the Russian source warned that such “infrastructure may become a legitimate target for retaliation.”   Source   Kenneth R.

The fact that news can be biased or an element of politics is obvious, especially today with so much conflict on the local and international levels    Myths and Facts by Mitchell Bard attempt to correct some misconceptions  at the  al-Aqsa Mosque "If you paid attention to the media, you would have been convinced that Israeli police “stormed” the  al-Aqsa Mosque  on the  Temple Mount  in  Jerusalem  for no other reason than to prevent  Muslims  from praying during  Ramadan  (see, for example, Abeer Salman, Mohammed Tawfeeq and Jennifer Hauser, “Israeli police storm al-Aqsa mosque for the second time on Wednesday,”  CNN , April 6, 2023). This was a distortion of events." The links above provide information about Jewish history source  aice.ccsend.com

Much ado about nothing

The political fad among the ill-informed who heap praise on promises born of lies isn't fashionable it's chaos looking for meaning.  What does it say?  The rule of law is because of those who have been willing to sacrifice what we all work for in return for sharing of power and resources.  Redefining the rules to suit a cause ill-defined but known to take charge for the sake of self-interest is not democracy.  The rule of law is not a variable to be applied to a minority that makes no sense and exists for itself.                                           Self-government is acceptable to those who relinquish power when a fair majority is allowed to make laws rather than having to question the illegal actions of its opponents.   Representation will rule when it is fair and just.  If taken by force it is tyranny.  We then spend time correcting the...

Trump Takes Out Full-Page Newspaper Ad Calling For Death Penalty For Himself

Image
  NEW YORK—Paying out of pocket to print his reaction to a highly publicized court case in four area newspapers, former President Donald Trump took out full-page ads Tuesday calling for New York to reinstate capital punishment and sentence him to death following his historic indictment. “This person must serve as an example so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime,” read the ad in which Trump, without directly naming himself as the defendant who should be executed by lethal injection, urged readers of  The New York Times , the  Daily News , the  New York Post , and  Newsday  to show him no mercy. “I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand this person. I am looking to punish him. Let our politicians give back law enforcement’s power to keep us safe. We must cease our continuous pandering to the criminal population of this city. Send a message loud and clear to those who would terrorize New York—BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY!” Tr...
