The DHS, affectionately called the “Ministry” here because it resembles
something out of
Orwell’s famous novel, wants to fit air****ts with ray guns. I kid you not.
“The US Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) will consider fitting high-power microwave
electropulse rayguns at
US air****ts, in order to defend against the threat of terrorists firing
****table anti-aircraft
missiles at airliners,” re****ts Lewis Page for The Register. “American
defense heavyweight
Raytheon would partner with Israel’s Rafael and Kongsberg of Norway to
provide the technology,
according to a re****t in Flight International. The proposed kit is known
as ‘Vigilant Eagle’,
and is competing for DHS securo-dollars with defensive systems that could
be fitted to the
airliners themselves — for instance BAE Systems’ JetEye.”
Okay, tell me this does not sound like another “defense industry” scam,
yet another scheme to
make billions of dollars. Sure, there is the possibility somebody with a
rocket launcher may
take out an airliner. But if al-Qaeda hates our freedom, why haven’t’ they
done this already?
Is al-Qaeda conducting a war against the Great Satan, one with battles
strung over decades? At
this rate, it will take a thousand years to install the Great
Caliph/Khalifah.
In fact, since 9/11, there has not been one single solitary attack against
the Great Satan.
Some will proudly state this is because of our vigilance and
determination. It’s because
Congress passed the Patriot Act and other Constitution ba****ng legislation
and no shortage of
presidential directives. Occasionally we get treated to a shoddily rigged
case, such as the
street kids in Miami who colluded with al-Qaeda — that is, an FBI
informant — or the kids in
Canada who had the government deliver a truckload of fertilizer, passing
it off as a dangerous
explosive. And then there was the patently absurd airliner liquid fiasco,
when we were told
miscreants would mix up explosives in the bathroom of an aloft airliner.
However, my favorite
is the Fort Dix pizza killers, Muslims who were going to deliver death
instead of hands-tossed
pies.
Now we’re going to get missile batteries at the air****t. “Vigilant Eagle,
unlike its rivals,
would be sited at the air****t. Light, ****table anti-aircraft missiles of
the type used by
terrorists/insurgents lack the ability to hit a jet at cruising altitude,
so such attacks would
need to be mounted close to takeoff or landing,” Page continues. “Vigilant
Eagle would detect
any missiles fired using a network of infrared cameras to pick out the hot
rocket exhaust
plume. The system would then focus an intense microwave beam on the flying
weapon, generated by
a so-called Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) of the type used in
the latest fighter
radars.”
Man, what a deal for Raytheon. How many air****ts in this country? Do the
math. Cha-cha-ching!
In fact, to simply roll this system out and test it for the Ministry,
Raytheon wants a cool $10
million. It used to be a company built something, tested it, and showed it
off to a prospective
customer in anticipation of selling it. But that was before the “defense
industry” (defense
against illusory enemies and manufactured Goldsteins) captured a big chunk
of the government,
something Eisenhower warned about as he left office.
Get ready for air****ts to resemble firebases. Of course, this wonderful
technology you are
going seriously in debt to pay for will never be used because there are no
terrorists with
rocket launchers sitting at the end of runways. Maybe a demented pizza guy
waving a Koran but
not a Muji with a Stinger. Naturally, in a few years, Raytheon will come
up with Vigilant Eagle
II and we’ll have to pay millions to see how it works and billions to have
it installed.
It’s a sweetheart deal for the death merchants. But then that’s why the
Ministry was created in
the first place — to allow death merchants and “security” cor****ations to
eat at the public trough.
