CNN: Welcome to the future

[GregD]

I'm listening to Thom on AAR but have CNN on/muted. No idea what they were saying but there was an animation of a missile a few minutes ago with the caption on the right "Welcome to the future", as if they were to suggest that such weapons will some day be pointed at us.

I wonder how many fear phreaks they have over there planning the most emotion-triggering phrases to raise our fear level.

Are we in the streets yet? What are we waiting for?

1. tells you several things

Israel spent billions of our aid to buy our anti-missile missile systems, and then spent hundreds of millions more, trying to make them work, and eventually said that they had a short range umbrella system that would rebuff any missile attack on their lands. (that's a hell of a lot better than we have done with those toys)

We can see how well that has worked.

Guess what that says about our anti-missile missile system in Alaska. We don't even have the benefit of serious efforts to make it work. (not with these contractors sucking on the federal teat, at least)

not one Katusha or longer range missile has been stopped by Israel. And the US military has been absolutely quiet on this issue.
You wanna bet how they would have pushed our system had the Israelis' system worked even once?

So to attack the US AFTER we finish deploying a useless multi-billion dollar piece of shit, all you need is a dirty warhead (the nukes are a marvel of complex and compact engineering) and a fishing boat and a Katusha. And no more LA. NY. DC. Miami. Seattle.

So, to respond to this reality, HSA is going to send money to protect an Indiana ice cream parlor.

How fucked up is that?

2. Remember the Patriot system?

That was certainly effective. NOT!

But my main point is that it show how co-opted CNN is in the fear game. BASTARDS!
