US National Security Threat: Is this about one thing, or the other?

[Maxmars]

Yesterday it was a 'mysterious' security threat.
Today we know what it is.
It didn't remain mysterious long.
Leaked out pretty fast.

Thank you.  Upon reading this, I immediately did a Startpage search on the web and found several "sources" to confirm the 'mystery' had been solved...

the most recent I found (at the time) was a CBS reporting piece which give my Spidey senses tinges of government-coordination.  The part I was most interested in was this... (Which I can't help but dissemble...)

1. "One U.S. official told CBS News that the intelligence in question relates to Russian capabilities in space.
   
2. U.S. officials told CBS News that Russia is developing a nuclear-capable weapon that could take down U.S. satellites, knocking out the ability to communicate, but there is no evidence a weapon has actually been deployed.
   
3. The threat described does not involve an active capability, though the issue is considered significant.
   
4. A U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the information publicly, pointed to a series of Russian space launches known as Cosmos, many of which carry classified Ministry of Defense payloads."

(numbering added for comment clarity)

One:    Some person CBS claims was "an official" informed them the "the intelligence" "relates" to Russian capabilities.
Two:    Yet "officials" told CBS that Russia was developing a weapon the "could" take down our satellites... developing, not deployed.
Three:  The threat described is NOT an active capability... (Does that mean somebody lied?)
Four:    Interestingly, another "someone" who WAS NOT AUTHORIZED to discuss this formally, drew attention to Russian space launches...

OK, seriously?  Are we that dense?

If Russia was not developing such a weapon, it would be surprising.  I'm sure we are too... along with at least half of the other space-capable would-be global domination aspirants.  Also, simplistically speaking, any nuclear capable nation might look into this. As I understood it, nukes in space don't affect only one country's satellites.  Also, they are declaring this isn't even a 'capability.'  Item four seems like a throw away... just meant to further bolster the anti-Russia angle... unless no one else has been launching equipment into space.

I feel like this is a 'gimme' report from the media machinery... almost as if it could be something else, they dare not speak of.  But that's just the distrust they have sewn coming home to roost.

Somebody should be embarrassed that the "Chicken Little" routine was invoked so basely...

This smells. It seems to me it's purpose is to get conversations like this one going. A seed that's going to grow slowly in the background. When I ask myself why would they dangle this riddle out there to sucker us in, the answer is for the money.

In this case, I think we need to follow the money. At some point in the near future, I'd expect this to blossom as an excuse to force a yea vote for a massive spending bill to do with our military readiness. In fact, I may not disagree. We likely should be rebuilding our military for war.

Hi there!  So happy to hear from you.

The trick with conversations like this is not to provide any such machinations with support.  I don't claim to know the reality in question... they are 'expert' at hiding, and there are things to be hid.  I agree that ultimately, money fuels their manifestation... but in the end, every secret is a weakness, and every lie becomes evidence...  

I agree that when it comes to military readiness and proper security, we are casually approaching free-fall; mostly because technology is not the whole picture.  But these morons are so hell bent on "selling" us the side-show they've lost the point of the exercise.  It is the curse of "appearances" becoming the goal, rather than actual reality.

This was the reason to curtail the emergence of the various cabals that now entrench themselves in governance.  The solution?  Oh no, you'll not get me to drift that far off the topic... you sly devil you.

Perhaps we should start a thread on that.  I've been very disgusted by it as well.

Now we're talkin'
