Myriad, are you sure you want to go down the path of 'sound' as evidence? If so, you will be in for quite an awakening.
While there are, indeed, some valid and validly documented witnesses who describe hearing a "roar' and some who used the descriptor "train," most were surprised by the sound they heard, no matter how they described it.
Mainly, they were described at how quiet it was. Many used the words "eerie," "eerie silence," "strangely quiet" or variations on that theme to describe the sound. In fact, when the descriptions got a little too specific and a little too close to describing the effects of DEW and when all else failed, the testimony of valid witnesses was simply redacted and hidden from us. Set out below is the example of EMS Chief Walter Kowalczyk:
"I kept hearing the sound of -- I guess i t ' s t h e
sounds of s i l e n c e . But it wasn't s i l e n c e ; it was
a cloud j u s t coming down on us."
I suppose we'll never know whether or not the words of the prophets were written on the subway wall and tenement halls.
I'm sorry, Myriad, I'm not able to fathom what you're getting at in the above. Would you care to come again, differently?Thanks
I was hoping you'd connect the dots, I wanted to be discreet about this but... I'm talking Time War. I'm talking about the militarization of the fourth dimension. Why send in a million soldiers, a navy, and an air force, when you can instead send an assassin back in time to take out Hitler? Smooth, efficient, and as sinister as you can imagine.
(Actually, Hitler's reich isn't from our original timeline. In the original, Ernst Rohm took over in autumn of 1939, ousted the Nazi extremists, and ushered in an age of peace and prosperity that saw the US transformed into a pacifist techno-agrarian paradise. But he was just so darned gay. They thought Hitler could do just as well but without the gayness and... well, you see the result. A debate rages over whether to try again.)
Time travel has been theorized since 1895, and time travel has seeped into our culture. Just look at recent plot lines in Star Trek, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Back to the Future, World of Warcraft, and Dr. Who. Of course, this is always presented as "science fiction" or fantasy or even comedy but that's just to cover small leaks. Large leaks can be covered by... well, just look at how that works in those stories. Let's suppose a technically capable "rogue nation" were to stumble on some of the same secrets, last year for instance. Then suddenly, the train carrying the scientists who made that discovery disappears or "explodes" years earlier, before the discovery was even made and reappears in 2001 falling onto the World Trade Center causing the already burning building to collapse, burying and then melting the evidence. Problem solved. Got the picture?
For evidence, you'll have to connect the dots yourself, as I know you can. But let's start with some obvious clues that have been in front of you unnoticed for years. Have you ever heard of "atomic clocks?" Of course you have. Well consider this. A clock can run for years on a little AAA battery. Even a big City Hall type clock can run on a small motor, a few dozen Watts at most. So why would any clock need to be atomic powered? Unless its purpose was more than to just measure time?
Now, who is in charge of these "atomic clocks" in the USA? Go to http://www.time.gov/. Then click your time zone of choice. You'll get the "official US time" that is "accurate within 0.1 seconds." Now take a look at the tiny print near the bottom of the window. Who exactly is "providing" your time? Ring any bells?
Actually, you presume far too much. Further, I'm not sure what interest(s) you are seeking to advance. In some respects, the above can be interpreted as a justification for MIC secrecy. For instance, goodness knows that if $billions are spent seeking an advantage in weaponry of one sort or another, the last thing one would want would be for one's adversaries to have the opportunity to counter that advantage by developing counter measures.
However, in the absence of your confirming that you are engaging in a defense of or an apology for the MIC, I will not presume that that is what you really mean.
So, Myriad, what do you really mean?
"Defense" or "apology" are characterizations of pure opinion. For example, a claim that most Muslims don't fully believe in the literal truth of every line of the Qu'ran would be (and has been, in these very forums) seen by some as an attack on Islam, and by others as an apology or defense of Islam.
I say what I say. How can I tell you what your opinion of it is?
Your grasp of strategic consideration is useful but not determinative. For instance, it has been observed, I seem to recall, that the "shock & awe" resulting from the display of the hideously powerful DEW used on 9/11 could also serve to further the coverup. For instance, if China, Russia, Iran and/or North Korea did suspect DEW and did want to develop countermeasures to it, one way to do so would be to keep quiet about it so that the US would think its DEW apparatus would not be countered.
The second and third sentences there don't seem to make sense together. The only thing worse than having your enemies develop countermeasures is to have them develop countermeasures without you knowing about it. Displaying the weapon's hideous power could only be more detrimental if it results in the enemy doing that.
Secrecy begets secrecy and more secrecy, Myriad. Isn't that the key message of antiwar flicks like Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe, afterall?
Secrecy does beget more secrecy. But at least, time is on my side, yes it is. That's the message of the Rolling Stones.
Respectfully,
Myriad
Thanks
