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?

And yes, based on evidence and conversation, I think the U. S. government cares what I say.

You're having delusions. Do please get help.

"Quae cum ita sunt" Caesar's Gallic Commentaries

Kalter:

good post on the ABL. I'm surprised that rshowalt, (has he been blocked again only to show up in a new nom de pleume?), hasn't trotted our his silverized balloon countermeasures devices.

wrcooper? Is that you. I thought you were me?

Hey everybody, Robert is going to produce an CD of all his rigermarole, (sic), and maybe he is ...sick that is. He purports to be a mathematician. Could you imagine if he were to rewrite Einstein's E=MC2. It would have 10^google variables with an index of defintions raised 10^ googleplex. But of course that is the abridged version. Robert. Today I am Condi Rise!!!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and ....Oh nevermind! Oopsn now I'm Emily Latella!

Lou,

Is that you or Condaleeza?

This is General M...er, George Johnson, no, um, it's, wait a minute, what's today's code? You gotta refresh my memory. Who am I today, anyway? Monitoring this forum is taking up a lot of my time. Between my meetings with the President, er, the boss, and my trips to Congress, no, I mean, the branch office, I tend to forget my secret identity. This guy Showalter's tying up the entire government, throwing us into throes or paroxysms of rage and doubt. If don't get a handle on him, he's gonna screw up the entire deal. MD will be killed for sure. We'll lose our lucrative defense contracts. Peace will break out. It'll be hell. And all because of this guy's incessant CHECKING. God, I hate the sound of that word. Check, check, check, check, check, check, check...! Every time he says it, it's like a stab at our jugular. I've assigned several agents to follow him around in Madison. It's costing us a bundle. What are your suggestions, Conda..., I mean George, no, I mean...who the hell are you, anyway? Hey, you don't think this post could be read by...you know...mathman, do you? It's scrambled, isn't it? George? Lou? Condaleeza? Are you there?

"Quae cum ita sunt" Caesar's Gallic Commentaries

now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country!

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Blackie brown rapes our young girls, but Violet gives willingly.

To decrytp this code you can look for the codebook behind the usual bench on the Madison campus.

Luigi Vampa?

I dunno. Here's one:

"Luv, I am a pig."

Three parts?

"I limp guava"?

Lou, I don't think these posts are dignified enough for the likes of Condleeza Rice and the eminent science writer, George Johnson. Not to mention the CIA snoops who're poring over Mr. Check-It's contributions. So, who is Luigi?

lchic - 01:16am Jul 21, 2002 EST (#3204 of 3327)

WYSIWYG Showalter is always Showalter a real person listed in the Madison phone book, he says, RING and CHECK!

Who pretends to be who on the thread?

George Johnson who likes to think of himself as an eminent nyt sci reporter ... pretends and playacts and one presumes is handsomely paid by the ShadowGovernment out of tax payer's pockets for the repetitive banalities dashed under hack-pen-name monikers:

REAL bona fida Journalists work under ethical guidelines ... listed here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=journalism+ethics&btnG=Google+Search

Whenever Johnson scribbles on the forum there will be one of two reasons - he's looking for wordage to submit as evidence for payment, or, he's told to do so to distance the reader from a batch of postings that get at the truths the Shadow Government wants to cover-up and hide.

A lot of Johnson ... has to mean a lot of pertinent postings prior to his showing!
