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?

Showalter - has the CIA sent you that 'letter' yet that gives you a 'past' to enable you to function ...

One notes a former head of CIA

has been set up as top-auditor

the irony is the CIA's left-hand doesn't seem to know what it's right-hand is doing .....

raising the thought --- so how good will this guy be in setting up a framework for business to stop those shonky dealings and find those hidden assets

Sniper - the young guy in that case was apparently a top student .... except he was kicked out of the USA education system and not allowed to continue .... moving academic achievement to assisted marksmanship

Raises the question on how the USA 'clamp down' on migrants has affected both them and the US (+economy) in general

If only that young man had been allowed to follow through with his education he might have contributed to the USA economy -- rather than be derailed and brutalised by an Expat GulfWar warrior

It's said the gas used in the Moscow Theatre was a 'nerve gas'

Saw a docco just two days ago where victims of gas experiments said they never recovered ...

DOCUMENTARY SERIES - HITLER’S HENCHMEN - Josef Mengele – The Doctor of Death

Josef Mengele (1911-1979) is portrayed in this program as having been an amiable and good-looking young man with a keen interest in anthropology and genetics whose life could have been led in an entirely different spirit, had it not been for the SS and the Second World War. In 1943, Mengele was sent to Auschwitz as camp doctor and there his misdirected interest in medical research led him to conduct the most barbaric experiments imaginable on human beings. Interviews with camp survivors testify to his cruelty and callousness. Mengele was able to evade detection after the war, but despite a life of comparative ease in South America, he was tormented by memories of the past. He died in 1979 of a stroke, a free man. (From Germany, in English and German, English subtitles). M (V,A)

I wondered why Mengele went 'unchecked' ... seemingly no person with the potential to check him (possibly at the cost of their own life) - did!
