More SDI 2009 space war tests? : U.S. vs. Russian Satellite "Collision" by ewing2001 [tagged as nicolumbo, spacewar, eurospace outsidejob, SDI, FCS] http://www.nypost.com/seven...: "...Americans and Russians traded shots yesterday over who was to blame for a huge satellite collision this week that sent clouds of debris hurtling through space, threatening other unmanned spacecraft in nearby orbits...The Pentagon, not NASA, has the job of tracking the 18,000 objects in orbit..." The smashed U.S. Satellite was operated by The Iridium satellite constellation, founded in 2001. [ed: The name Iridium derives its name from the chemical element iridium and originally planned to 'install' 77 satellites in space, inspired by the atomic number of iridium, evoking the metaphor of 77 electrons orbiting the nucleus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

Iridium communications service was launched in 1998, but went bancrupt during 1999, then 'relaunched' as Iridium Satellite LLC during 2001. The former Iridium provided phones from two vendors, Kyocera and Motorola. The latter company is linked to the 9/11 plotline, dealing with allegedly misfunctional radios, which would have saved firefighters lives, if in appropriate function. In 1999 Motorola obtained a $85 Million contract to four digital cellular phone operators in Mexico, http://www.allbusiness.com/media-t... while they're also having been part of a competitive team called (SBInet) surveillance system around Boeing, Ericsson, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, electronically 'securing' the Mexico-Arizona Border, possibly also with ground applications from FCS (Future Combat System). - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

...Boeing, also leader of FCS, obtained the main contract in 2006. In August 2008, The Homeland Security ordered Boeing to stop SBI work along the border between Arizona and Mexico because CBP had not received the necessary permissions from the Department of the Interior.Boeing told a subcontractor that the suspension of work could last until January 1, 2009. During the last few years, CNN Moneyline including Lou Dobbs refreshed a racism immigration campaign, while the complete staff is linked to a space consortium, associated with The Aerospace Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, CSC, Orbital Sciences Corporation, The Boeing Company, 
Booz Allen Hamilton, 
Raytheon, 
SPACE.com, United Space Alliance and many many others... http://news.spacefoundation.org/spacewa... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

Consider this: the whole 'immigration debate' is a front from SDI/FCS industry to distract from facts around cheap labor in latin american countries is used to build media satellite parts, which later then is in charge of controlling the very same 'electronic border scheme', maybe also linked to Ponzis etc.... Boeing's known subcontractors include Booz Allen Hamilton; Centech, DRS Technologies; Kollsman, Inc.; LGS, L-3 Communications Government Services; Perot Systems, Pinkerton Government Services; Power Contracting, Inc. Reconnaissance Group; Sandia National Laboratories; the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University; and Unisys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Now to the "smashed" russian satellite this week: Kosmos-2251, also spelled Cosmos, was a Russian Strela-2M communications satellite. It was launched in June 1993, by a Kosmos-3M carrier rocket, at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... The Soviet Union did not officially admit the existence of Plesetsk Cosmodrome until 1983. Plesetsk is used especially for military satellites placed into high inclination and polar orbits and competing with the U.S. Air Force's Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

According to Jane’s Strategic Weapons Systems, since the 1960s, the Sary-Shagan test side in Kazakhstan is used as a test facility for directed energy weapons (DEW), particularly laser weapons. http://www.nti.org/db... The first missile launched from the facilit in October 1958. In the 1970s the Terra-3 laser testing centre at Sary Shagan was established to track the U.S. Space Shuttle Challenger mission with a low-power laser. During October 1984 it was causing malfunctions and discomfort for the crew, in response to the American SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) program and continued military use of the shuttle. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

... During January 11, 2007, the People's Republic of China successfully destroyed a defunct Chinese weather satellite, with the help of Space-Defense- Directed Energy Weapons. Ironically Obama's cabinet member Navy Adm. Dennis Blair, formerly worked with the Division Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) which works openly with at least 20 DEW faculties, i.e. Beijing Polytechnic University • · Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, CAS • · Beijing Number Three Radio Equipment Factory • · Beijing University, Department of Physics • · Beijing Vacuum Electronics Research Institute • · Changchun College (Institute) of Optics and Fine Mechanics • · China Academy of Engineering Physics • · China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing • etc.. more at http://friendfeed.com/search... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
