Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

In my view, the government owes my investors about 40 million bucks. That's one issue. Not that I can solve that one - who says life is fair?

But the idea that "I gave up" is crazy - and the stakes are high enough that I'll keep going, yet a while.

I also think that, though I may not be important or worthy - the problems I've worked on are important. Getting the record straight is important to me - and I think to the whole world - and bit by bit that is happening.

I need my security situation clarified enough so that I can legally try to do things.

"I would like to be able to set up something very much like AEA again - and do it honestly - and work with Lchic in that format.

"I'd like to be able to do that with people involved in AEA fully informed, and satisfied to the extent that was reasonably possible.

"In ways that were reasonably satisfactory to my wife, her husband, the New York Times, other members of families involved, the federal government, and other people more-or-less connected. In ways that most people at the UN, if they happened to notice, might think fair.

"I think, under the circumstances, that it might be particularly good if I could proceed on a basis senior people at Deutsche Bank Securities would think honorable, workable, and fair.

Note: Germany, Russia, and many other countries care very much about issues of planning that Eisenhower cared about - that are now "not to be considered" in the US government.

"I've been trying to "play it straight" for a very long time.

"If the requests involved were awkward, the circumstances were awkward, too.

I think, considering everything, I've been both honorable and diligent. The idea that I didn't work hard enough is crazy.

If I was free of security limitations - or had clear limitations, and that was in writing, or otherwise clearly checkable then I could interact with people in workable ways - for collaborations and business relationships that fit real needs, in real circumstances.

The nation owes me that.

Blair is verbally thumbing his nose at the NYT & Staff

... as a $sixfigure book is considered.

It seems illogical that a liar-taking money under false pretences should hit gold!

Audio snippet - John Grey - author

This guy has written a book that looks at terrorism - a point he makes is the failure of Islamic scholars to say anything ... to even speak .... he says the terrorist mvt is more ideological than pyramid-based-binLaden ...
