Musk shuts down Ukie military use of Starlink.

Posted on 02/10/2023 2:15:21 AM PST by ganeemead

Starlink being used to control drones that carry chemical weapons, Musk pulls the plug

IOW, the system was being used for war crimes. Scott Ritter claims that those drones have been seen dropping cannisters of some sort of chemical mixture behind Russian lines.

No lie is too big for a pedophile like Scott Ritter.

I don't like Ritter, but he was caught up in an FBI sting.

Do you trust the FBI?

I don't.

Not that it matters to the Neocons, since they see the Russians as sub-human, but the reports are widespread on Russian media, from what I’m hearing (on non-Western sites).

Glad to see, though, that Musk doesn’t share the Neocon/DNC view of Russians.

Musk is the rare breed of man who stands on his principles. If he allowed his product to be used for such atrocities, then he would show that he had no principles at all, but is instead just the money-grubbing billionaire the media portrays him to be.

If they want to highlight a billionaire who has no principles at all, the media can do a deep dive into Bill Gate’s actions.

I know One Weird Trick about how not to be caught up in an FBI sting.

Get adopted by the Biden family.

If you’re going to let your brain rot to such a degree that you engage in such conspiracy thinking, at least first get the facts right:

He was arrested by PA police in a Police sting, not an FBI sting:

https://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Scott-Ritter-paroled-in-online-sex-case-5936227.php

“He was convicted in 2011 in Monroe County, Pa., after Barrett Township police presented evidence that in 2009 he had masturbated in front of a webcam being viewed by an undercover officer who was posing as a 15-year-old girl.”

Your hero is on video jerking off in front of someone he thought was 15 years old.

He admitted to it too, but claimed he thought it was an 18 year old and that he thought they were just playing out a pedophile fantasy, but that it was an adult he was role playing with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter

And this was his second conviction. The first time he had the guts to try to meet the underaged girl in person. Didn’t work out then either. Also not an FBI operation.

Nato Top Fop Stoltenpoop wants to drag the proxy war out for six or eight years and shut down the consumer economy altogether like in WW2.

Unfortunately for him, Russia gets to set the timeline, and the final conditions of Western Surrender.

There is a claim of chemical weapons being used.

Russians claimed in 2014 Ukrainians were crucifying prisoners (in fact, it was Russians who were photographing themselves crucifying people). Have claimed to have fought off brigades of all black American soldiers. And the latest lie is that they're being hit by chemical weapons.

Should be easy to prove. Just produce a dead Russian who has been killed with WMD. There are so many corpses to choose from.

Musk would be an accomplice to war crimes if he didn't shut it down.

Musk is an accomplice to plenty already. He shut off Ukrainian internet during their last offensive in Kharkiv and Kherson, leading to the deaths of many. He has Ukrainian blood on his hands for some time now.

You are a stupid pervert to be making stories like that one up. Do you ever make up stories about people you don’t like doing it with farm animals??

Ritter is irrelevant. Musk did this because he does not want StarLink - a VERY vulnerable satellite network - to be caught up in war operations. He cannot risk a Russians attempt to disable it with a strike in orbit if need be. In 1962, the USSR tested (as did we) nukes at around 200 miles up (50 miles below Yuri Gagarin's orbit), so one would think they would be quite capable of taking out the flimsy StarLinks 100 miles further up.

"My" hero?

Illogical.

You seem a little emotionally invested in this Ritter thing.

Are you afraid the FBI has been listening in on your online "chats"?

Musk is the rare breed of man who stands on his principles.

Musk stands on his principles of not criticizing or even commenting on the CCP because of his Gigafactory, while he'll amplify random Twitter trolls and push Neo-Nazis into your twitter feed like Andrew Anglin. He'll coddle up to freaks like Kim Dotcom and allow pedophiles like Scott Ritter to trend on his website for 9 or 10 hours.

He's so principled he'll make a fake video of a Tesla car driving around and parking, telling you that the video is legitimate, only for it to come out later that he faked the whole thing and people routinely get into accidents from phantom breaking or sudden acceleration/false turns his cars do.

Elon is so principled he'll do the same thing with a stupid f***ing fake robot, with highly edited videos with people appearing and disappearing in the background as it fails to do basic things.

He's so principled he sold Teslas for years claiming the hardware was sufficient for level 5 FSD, that it was a software problem, and that you'd be making 30,000 a year utilizing your Tesla as a taxi service. But now he's dropped the Tesla Taxi BS altogether and it is clear that your Tesla will never have level 5 FSD.

I can go on.

Just another grifter of many other grifters that fake conservatives on FR are eager to grab onto, whether it's Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and so many others.

If Rush wasn't dead, he'd wish he was dead seeing these clowns utterly destroy our credibility for 2024 and beyond.

However Starlink was being used, Ukraine’s military was benefitting from it. SpaceX doesn’t consider that a humanitarian use which was its deal for providing the service. The timing isn’t great if it was being used to control Ukrainian surveillance drones given what Russia is reported to be preparing for.

So far, Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty of sex trafficking for no one in particular.

But muh Scott Ritter "sting".

If you weren't a n00b clown, you'd understand how this stuff works.

Clown.

There are 3000+ Starlink satellites in service giving global service, and they are EMP shielded. And Musk can refresh at least 60 units immediately at any time. It would take a massive series of orbital nukes to take out a significant number.

It’s very unlikely anyone can nuke enough Starlinks to matter without causing massive EMP damage to the ground below and all sorts of other civilian systems operating globally. An attack on low earth orbit Starlink would be indistinguishable from a decapitation strike via EMP.

That would be an outright nuclear war.
