There is some VERY strange stuff going on...
A neighbor who works at the one of the labs (can’t tell me which one, could be Sandia Labs, Los Alamos, or one of the Labs-That-Can’t-Be-Named at KAFB) did tell me that there are VERY worrying signs. A country - he wouldn’t say who - has been “showing off” technology that is FAR beyond what we thought they had. Speculation is that they will make us do what they want - adjust our economy, give them technology, whatever - or they will, in his words “send us back to the stone age.” He also alluded to the fact that this has been going on for years and that we are literally at war with this country, but our government is doing its best to hide this reality from the public at large.
So far it has been in our adversary’s best interests to allow us to function as an “independent” country. Dumping $600 billion into the world market has ticked them off and they are “reminding” us who is boss.
We are under their thumb and we don’t even know it.
Just let me keep posting to Facebook, watching Jackass 3D, and drinking cheap beer and don’t bother me international politics...
The wonderful thing about the internet is that it automatically routes around blockages. no matter what happens there will always be the equivalent of “ham radio” communications available.
