Yup. They're doing it.

Someone is leading around by the nose those village-idiots.

Saying what someone you don't know about is leading them to say, completely under foreign-influence.



Let's focus only on the facts and avoid the prejudicial, inflammatory, biased details from those mainstream-media clickbait "journalists"



I labor on this stuff under the presumption of the non-obvious.

Vision for Space Exploration

On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush gave a speech at NASA Headquarters announcing his plan for returning the Shuttle to flight after the Columbia disaster, completing the construction of the International Space Station, and charting a path forward for humans to return to the Moon and go to Mars. His plan was called the Vision for Space Exploration.

NASA Headquarters

Washington, D.C.

3:25 P.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m honored to be with the men and women of NASA. I thank those of you who have come in person. I welcome those who are listening by video. This agency, and the dedicated professionals who serve it, have always reflected the finest values of our country — daring, discipline, ingenuity, and unity in the pursuit of great goals.

America is proud of our space program. The risk takers and visionaries of this agency have expanded human knowledge, have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and produced technological advances that have benefited all of humanity.

Inspired by all that has come before, and guided by clear objectives, today we set a new course for America’s space program.

But when they mention a free "orientation film", Homer jumps at the opportunity and runs there as fast as he can. The movie begins. It consists of cheap special effects (such as a crappy looking spaceship with a visible string).

Once we collect enough money for fuel, our Leader will throw open the doors of the forbidden barn where we will all board our intergalactic vehicle... [quickly] rows one through thirty first. Upon our arrival, we will begin our new, perfect lives on Blisstonia -- well known for it's high levels of bliss.

Carl: Hey, I don't know about you, but they're not exactly winning me over with these lousy production values here. I'm gonna slip out.

[As soon as Carl stands up a spotlight shines on him in the otherwise dark room.]

Carl: Oh, I just didn't, uh.. I didn't think it, um.. oh, it's.. it's pretty good. [sits back down.]

Apache Attack

By Richard Mackenzie

The helicopters would open the war. They had to take out Iraq's early warning net, and they had to get it all.

At ten seconds before 2:38 in a moonless sky over Iraq, eight US AH-64 Apache helicopters zeroed in on their targets. On their forward-looking infrared screens appeared the images of two Iraqi radar sites just north of Saudi Arabia, placed there to detect intruding fighters. They were linked to four Iraqi fighter bases and to the Intelligence Operations Center in Baghdad.

The unseen Apaches hovered low, four miles south of the radars. At the controls of Number 976, 1st Lt. Tom Drew broke radio silence. "Party in ten," he said. On cue, ten seconds later, the helicopters unleashed a salvo of laser-guided Hellfire missiles. "This one's for you, Saddam ," muttered CW03 Dave Jones, the pilot of another Apache.

The shots, fired in the predawn hours of January 17, 1991, marked the start of Operation Desert Storm and were among the most critical of the war, blinding Iraq's early warning net at a key moment. US Central Command relied entirely on the Apaches and USAF special operations helicopters to do the job. "If something had happened and we didn't do 100 percent [destruction]," said one gunner, CW04 Lou Hall, "a lot of people were going to get hurt."

The Apaches did achieve 100 percent destruction, or close to it. Eyewitnesses report that, when the Hellfires hit the targets, the radar bases evaporated in clouds of smoke and flame. In the four and a half minutes it took to complete the task, the Apaches had, in the words of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, "plucked out the eyes" of Iraq's Soviet-supplied air defenses.









from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 7:43 PM

Subject: Re: Journal June 20, 2006, Supplemental

I wonder if I was the first American to strike Saddam.









from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 05/14/07 9:12 AM

but I think what this all represents is me flying into Iraq, running out of fuel because I engaged enemy fighters, and then having to land and find fuel. I also found myself reading that book by Claire and having a hard time to believe we didn't get swarmed by enemy fighters.









by me, Kerry Burgess, December 08, 2006

so I broke off from my formation of the 3 other F-16's and broke up the incoming Iraqi formation to draw them off my formation who didn't have enough fuel for a dog-fight.









by me, Kerry Burgess, December 13, 2006

I believe that time period represents how the Osirak strike was in the summer of 1981 and I graduated from USNA that next summer, meaning that I went to Iraq around the end of the equivalent of my junior year at the USNA.

A few months ago, I read that the Israeli's who flew the F-16's into Iraq to strike the Osirak facility in 1981 had trained in their new F-16's at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. That gave me a lot of details to ponder.

SHEPPARD: ( shines the light from his P-90 at drawings on the walls.) Someone's been busy, you know?

TEYLA: The drawings in the caves are extensive. Many must date back thousands of years -- or more.

(Sheppard makes his way around the walls, looking at the drawings. He points to one.)

SHEPPARD: Does this represent the destruction of your city?

TEYLA: This drawing far predates that.

SHEPPARD: So, what, someone knew it was going to happen?

TEYLA: I believe it happens again and again. The Wraith allow our kind to grow in numbers, and when that number reaches a certain point they return to cull their human herd. Sometimes a few hundred years will pass before they awaken again. We've visited many, many worlds -- I know of none untouched by the Wraith. The last great holocaust was five generations ago, but still they return, in smaller numbers, to remind us of their power.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end? How many more lives need to be lost before this administration realizes that a political and partisan narrative is not as important as American values? How many times must local and national leaders must plead with you Donald Trump to end this operation and recognize that this is not creating safety in our city."

Former Federal Prosecutor Claims Man Shot and Killed By Federal Agents Had a ‘Death Wish’

Jennifer Bowers Bahney

“Based on the reports we are hearing in the videos we see, this appears to be essentially a suicide by cop type of scenario,” Cherkasky said. “It has long been known if you’re going to fight with cops and resist in situations that are escalating like this it is a death wish.”

Cherkasky continued:

It is really unfortunate that they’ve taken on this idea that even if they disagree with the laws as it relates to immigration in our country or even the enforcement of it, to put themselves in such a dangerous situations where people around them, even if it’s not them, are aggressing against law enforcement — are in the way of law enforcement engaged in legitimate operations that have gone through all the court systems and been blessed.

What is happening is perfectly lawful on behalf of the Trump administration and the officers who are on the ground. And these folks who are putting themselves in their way are putting themselves in grave danger.

Pretti is the second Minnesotan to be shot and killed by ICE this month. The first was 37-year-old Renee Good who was shot four times on Jan. 7
