Shuttle Conspiracy Round-up

Shuttle Conspiracy Round-Up
(Conspiracy Nation, 2/4/03) -- An avalanche of data is surfacing
giving clues as to what caused the Feb. 1, 2003 space shuttle
tragedy. Conspiracy Nation here summarizes some of the information.
According to information received from a Conspiracy Nation reader,
the shuttle disaster was caused by pilot error but this is being
covered up so that the seven deceased astronauts will not have their
hero images tarnished.
Conspiracy Nation hypothesizes that the recent Internet "worm"
attack could have sabotaged the space mission. This space shuttle
had its own Internet connection. According to a Pravda report dated
Feb. 3, 2003, "it was for the first time that a space craft got an
Internet address of its own which provided it with connection with
the Earth through the satellite. Such an experiment was held for the
first time; it is no wonder that when the catastrophe occurred, it
was almost immediately reported that it could be somehow connected
with the Internet experiment carried out during the flight. It will
take some time to find out whether such suggestions are true or
absurd." ("Columbia Tragedy: All Versions of Catastrophe Possible",
Pravda.RU, 2/3/03). The source of the "worm" attack has been traced
to Red China. Might not Red China/North Korea have launched a
sophisticated computer attack, perhaps with assistance from the
stolen PROMIS software? Speculation, yes, but at this point no
possibility should be automatically ruled out.
In "Disasters of Convenience" (Part 26 of Sherman Skolnick's series,
"Overthrow of the American Republic"), investigator Sherman Skolnick
asks, "And what about HAARP, the super-beam technology particularly
good at putting many million watt scorching particularly at the
level above earth that the 'Columbia' was reportedly at when it
exploded. The U.S. Military has bragged that they are always ten
years ahead in technology where the ordinary people think the
military is at. Savvy sorts contend particle beam technology is old
hat. That there is a so far publicly un-named technology that can
through electromagnetic or other pulsing, bring down airplanes..."
(http://www.skolnicksreport.com)
This perception of involvement of more-or-less secret weapons in the
Columbia mishap is echoed by scalar scientist Tom Bearden, who
writes that "it is quite possible that an unfortunate but normal
type of accident is what destroyed the shuttle; such accidents do
happen unavoidably, in spite of the best intentions and efforts of
everyone, and the shuttles are aging. It is also possible that a
little burst of EM [Electro-Magnetic] energy deliberately placed on
that shuttle, from a Yakuza scalar interferometer, could have
initiated the breakup and catastrophic failure of the vehicle.
Far out? But an honest investigation would leave no stone unturned.
Leaving no stone unturned in the preliminary phase of an honest
investigation means initially most any theory can be placed on the
table. Posting to the alt.conspiracy newsgroup, "Rumsfeld Cow Rumen"
(pseudonym) posits as follows: "The Columbia Shuttle was shot by an
invisible ELF wave out of a secret military installation in Alaska
called HAARP. The range of this tactical weapon starts at 35 miles
high. The Shuttle went out of commission and contact at 39 miles
high." The writer adds to his post with a curious piece of
information: "Also, there were ants, bloodworms, silkworms, rats,
and spiders, onboard this mission, to test the effects on silk,
spiderweb silk, and the formic acid body weight of ants, and also
the holy 'manna' of the Bible, which is actually a secretion from
the anuses of ants, which might perform differently in the vacuum of
space or in the strange gravity of space."
HAARP, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, was cited
by Mother Jones magazine as one of the "Top Censored News Stories of
1994"; this would explain why perhaps you've never heard of HAARP.
(A good book on the subject is HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the
Conspiracy, by Jerry E. Smith. Adventures Unlimited Press.)
According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, an amateur
astronomer photographed "five strange and provocative images of the
shuttle Columbia just as it was re-entering the Earth's atmosphere
before dawn Saturday. The pictures, taken with a Nikon 8 camera on a
tripod, reveal what appear to be bright electrical phenomena
flashing around the track of the shuttle's passage..." ("Photos show
odd images near shuttle", by David Perlman. 2/2/03). Bright
electrical phenomenon, as in bright electro-magnetic phenomenon, as
in some sort of HAARP weaponry?
"Oh come on! It was the loss of a thermal protection tile which
caused the tragedy!" insist some. But according to a report in
Pravda, NASA shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore says "it couldn't
be because of the loss of a thermal protection tile" that
temperature on board the shuttle suddenly rose before the
catastrophe. ("Ron Dittemore Is Sure It Was Something Different",
Pravda.RU, 2/4/03). The Pravda article concludes that "it is not
clear yet what was the true cause of the US shuttle's catastrophe
just 16 minutes before scheduled landing. All possible variants of
the tragedy and all versions are to be considered to find out the
cause."
A report headlined at Rumor Mill News (www.rumormillnews.com) states
that the space shuttle was downed by a "scalar Tesla Howitzer
weapon." ("Scalar Psyop Strike on Columbia Ends World War III?"
2/2/03). According to the author, "The telltale sonic boom from the
deployment of the weapon was so strong: 'It was like a car hitting
the house or an explosion. It shook that much,' John Ferolito, 60,
of Carrolton, north of Dallas, told the Associated Press. Media
reports put the noise down to the effects of the shuttle breakup,
but this is clearly spurious. The shuttle was gliding at 203,000
feet. That works out to almost 40 miles. Aircraft-generated sonic
booms 40 miles up in super-thin air do not shake homes at ground
level. Nor do small debris parts." What exactly is a scalar Tesla
Howitzer weapon? According to the article, further information can
be found at http://216.247.92.101/pub/bearden/iraq.htm
A report from the Canton Ohio Repository ("When science, fear
collide", by James P. Pinkerton, Cantonrep.com 2/4/03) refers to
"loony accounts of professed eyewitnesses" who suggest that
"Columbia was brought down by either a missile or a midair collision
with another aircraft." The article predictably insinuates
kookiness/craziness upon those who are deviating from the already
"acceptable" version of what happened, but nonetheless breaks the
news that somewhere there are eyewitnesses who deserve to be heard.
"When science, fear collide" offers an interesting slant on the
space shuttle disaster by comparing it to ancient omens of "things
seen in the sky"; it points out the "strangeness of Saturday's
sadness. Columbia broke up when it was flying over central Texas,
where President George W. Bush's ranch is located. The shuttle,
symbol of American technological supremacy, failed on the eve of
America's likely war with Iraq, about which the world has been
assured that American military precision will minimize loss of life
on both sides."
A bad omen for the upcoming battle between Allah and Jehovah? Or is
it not exactly a coincidence that there is such bad symbolism
surrounding the Columbia tragedy? Is there a hidden hand sending
some sort of message? Bilderberg Society investigator James Tucker
unearthed a bitter split at the last Bilderberg meeting, so it may
be that the space shuttle event of Feb. 1, 2003 boils down to a
communique between competing elite factions. When such faction
fights occur from time to time within the Establishment, things can
get messy.

Pilot does not fly the mission at this stage. The computer does.
There is nothing for him to screw up..

The computer with the internet connection is NOT the flight computer.
They are not even connected. Not only is the flight computer not
attached to the internet, it's not running a commerical operating
system.

Perhaps your contact can explain how HAARP can send a beam over the
curve of the earth from Alaska to where the shuttle was damaged
thousands of miles away?

There are NO aircraft sonic booms from 40 miles to compare it to 'cause
the shuttle is the ONLY vehicle which fly at that altitude.
And the shuttle most certainly does make a dramatic sonic boom.
In this case it would be louder because it's not one aerodynamic item
traveling faster than sound, it's hundreds of tumbling objects ALL
travelling faster than sound. Each would make it's OWN sonic boom.

Except the dozens and dozens and dozens of home vidoes taken do not
show a missile or other "aircraft" there.
Perhaps the HAARP weakened it enough for the EMP to deactivate their
sensors so the invisble missile could get through while the pilots were
making mistakes trying to avoid colliding with that stealth aircraft
which cleverly can't be video taped!
Oh well....

There are five individual flight control computers on the Shuttle.
Three are the same model running together working on a "Survivor"-style
voting system -- if one disagrees with the other two it is voted out.
The fourth is a completely different design built by a completely
different company just in case there is an intrinsic error in the Gang
of Three primary controllers. There is then a dumb-as-bricks fifth
computer whose job is only to land the Shuttle and nothing else, in case
all the others get fried somehow. I *think* this one is tape-based,
following a simple series of commands.
In extremis the Shuttle pilots are trained in simulators to fly the
thing by hand, but this is not recommended and I believe it has never
been necessary in the previous 100-plus flights.

A friend of ours got to fly this simulator. After a few tries, he
manged to land the shuttle without crashing.hen they started throwing
wind at him.

Ummm, no. They read the instruments and operate a joystick controller
in a similar way that a conventional aircraft pilot would fly a plane.
The flight computer systems are connected to the instruments to get data
from the sensors (the inertial platform, airspeed indicators etc.) but
if they are taken off-line the instruments still work. As I understand
it if manual intervention becomes necessary a ground-based air-traffic-
control system takes over with the the pilot being given verbal
instructions to bring the Shuttle back to Canaveral where it can land.
This is part of the training all Shuttle pilots receive; it has never
been used in practice.

Brian! Come now! If we're going to think outside of the box like all
good Conspiracy Nuts, then ... let's leave these silly notions aside
and cut to the chase and present a case worthy of a true Conspiracy
Nut! ;)~
Isn't it obvious that Columbia was destroyed by T.H.E.L.? What is
T.H.E.L., who made it, and who controls it now?

http://www.st.northropgrumman.com/presskits/detailinfo/1,,1_5_54^2^54^2,00.html
So, why use T.H.E.L. to shoot Columbia out of the sky?
Well, ... Bush should have talked about the NASA budget and the manned
mission to Mars (via Project Prometheus) during his State of the Union
Address, but he didn't. Why? Bad timing, of course! No one in their
right mind would've applauded for this budget increase given the cost
of funding a war with Iraq on the table. Yes, those in-the-know were
aware of the request for increased funding, but ... nobody on the Hill
or in the White House was publicly drumming up support for NASA.

GAME, SET AND MATCH!!! BOTTOM LINE.... WHY WAS THE SHUTTLE SHOT
DOWN? SO CONGRESS, DESPITE THE EXPENSE OF THE COMING WAR WITH IRAQ,
WOULD SIGN OFF ON AN INCREASED BUDGET FOR NASA (GIVEN THEIR NEED TO
IMPROVE SAFETY, ETC) AND THEREBY PAVE THE WAY FOR PROJECT PROMETHEUS
(ET AL)!
Bush waited for Columbia to be destroyed in order to secure support
for NASA's increased budget. The "safety issues" revolving around
past budget cuts is largely a smoke screen, though it's a genuine
concern. In the wake of this "accident" no senator or representative
would dare "dishonor" the memory of those fine, brave astronauts by
denying NASA's request for more funding, like they did after
Challenger blew up.
Since the T.H.E.L. was able to knock out the shuttle, they now know it
can take out space based missiles as well as ICBM's.
Some people argue, "The tiles are designed to take high temperatures,
so THEL couldn't have burned through the tiles!" Well.... "The laser
doesn't burn a hole through a missile," said Scott Francher, Boeing's
director of the Airborne Laser (ABL) program. "It heats up the fuels
contained in the missile itself, and as they expand, they actually
explode."
Some people argue, "THEL would have ionize the atomsphere and you'd
see it". Well.... Do see that happening on the THEL test video? No!
Why would you see it if shot down the shuttle?
Some people argue, "THEL doesn't have enough power to travel that far
(i.e., 40 miles)." Well.... Read the above BBC link again: "A laser
is an intense, beam of light, carefully corralled so that the beam
does not diverge and weaken. In THEL, the energy is supplied by a
controlled chemical reaction. The laser is a potentially potent
weapon as the beam travels literally at the speed of light and can
cross great distances with minimal loss of intensity. Such a beam
could knock out targets at distances ranging from tens of kilometres
to, in theory, thousands of kilometres." 40 miles is only 64.37
kilometers. Enough said! Moving on....
Some people argue, "THEL couldn't track or hit an object flying as
fast as the shuttle (i.e., 13,200 mph)." Well.... Even if THEL
couldn't track the shuttle, which one doubts, ... the flight path was
no secret for those in-the-know! Further....
The Stars Wars Program had a device like THEL in mind, right? An
article on the United States' use of deuterium fluoride-chemical laser
weapons to destroy incoming artillery rounds and rockets is explained
in the July 2001 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine, page 15. NASA
and the USAF intend to mount such a H.E.L. onto the aging shuttle
Columbia to be used as an orbital ASAT weapon. (Rather ironic if
indeed THEL was used to down the shuttle).
The laser has the designation of T.H.E.L. or Tactical High Energy
Laser and was built by TRW, Inc. The system was "originally"
developed to protect Israeli settlements against Katyusha rockets
fired from Southern Lebanon by Hezbollah guerillas. It passed its
operational tests at White Sands, downing two rockets at once. The
system was never shipped to Israel despite its success, or probably
due to its amazing success.... The USAF and NASA may have a space
based tactical laser system in a matter of months, not years. Or, is
there already one up there?
Perhaps Katyusha rockets isn't the only thing THEL can shoot down.
The stats for the old Convair B-56 Atlas-D ICBM show its max speed as
being 16,000 mph:
http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/bombers/b5/b5-49.htm
So, why couldn't a ground based (anti-ICBM) H.E.L. shoot down objects
coming in from space, like the space shuttle, which was traveling at
13,200 mph?
Now we come to the money angle.... We lost the oldest work horse in
the shuttle fleet. No big deal! It needed replaced anyway; in walks
Northrop! Replacement plans have been on the table for some time, as
have the "escape pod" question. NASA's just been waiting for more
funding.

http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/History/HistoricAircraft/X-Planes/index.html
http://www.astronautix.com/craft/norplbec.htm
TRW, the company that created the T.H.E.L. (with the help of Israel),
has been taken over by Northrop! Surprise, surprise! Watch for
Northrop (not Lockheed or Boeing) to be given the lion's share of the
contract for the shuttle's replacement, whichever "X" model that
happens to be.
http://www.capitolsource.net/press_releases/rascal.html
T.H.E.L. is controlled by....? The Air Force, of course! Bush's pick
to be the Secretary of the Air Force? Dr. James G. Roche! Dr.
Roche's employment record prior to his appointment? He worked for
Northrop, of course, where he "held several executive positions ...
including Corporate Vice President and President, Electronic Sensors
and Systems Sector."

What about the foam damaged tiles? As I suspected, NASA is backing
away from this theory. In the end ... whether it's ever made public
or not ... the cause will have something to do with an explosion
because the fuel and/or hydraulic systems would have been super heated
by the T.H.E.L.
The following link shows the location of the main landing gear wheel
well and the sensors that gave the first indications of the fatal
problem.
http://www.the-cape.com/cta/leftundersystems.jpg
According to the following website, NASA does NOT support the
hypothesis that wheel-well door compromise is a plausible reason for
this "mishap" (as of 2/3/03 at 1620 EST):
This might all be very circumstantial evidence, but ... at the very
least ... you have to admit the timing of Columbia's destruction is
more than a little suspicious. Stay tuned Conspiracy Nuts! ;)~
Yummy! Gravy for the brain! Of course, this post is meant to be the
ravings of a Conspiracy Nut. Don't take is too seriously.... No
disrespect to our astronauts is intended here, may they rest in
peace....
