born on the 9th of Av User ID: 70428334 United States 10/01/2022 07:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What exactly does this mean? Are there criteria for when it gets flown? "They were designed as mobile airborne operations units specifically designed to emit command and control codes to the United States intercontinental ballistic missile systems (ICBM) on the ground in the event of an attack on the United States by the Soviet Union". It won't let me post the link for some reason. If DC gets nuked, it is to ensure we can still wage nuclear war in response. What is going on behind the scenes that we don't know about ?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80609517 Thread: COVID-19 Drives Command Teams Charged With Homeland Defense Into Cheyenne Mountain Bunker (Page 2) Actually Cheyenne Mtn. do you remember this? Mount Weather isn't secret anymore has not been secret since the 1990s under Bill Clinton. It is used for FEMA headquarters now. I think there is some more working out of there also. Greenbriar Hotel has something to do with emergency things along with other things. They were building new ones back then. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

Quoting: JustmeTX My dad was an 18 year-old pilot in training on board a fighter jet headed for the Bay of Pigs. Wild to think that the bombs will fly now, a generation later. My girlfriends father was a Cuban revolutionary who landed on the beach with the promise of american backing during the invasion, but the americans turned around after they hit the beachhead and they were slaughtered or captured, her father spent 10 years in prison We deserve the bombs we are about to receive Malu |

User ID: 83823352 United States 10/01/2022 08:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The fact that we all still have electronics should put every one at ease. I've said this before...the playbook calls for multiple HEMP bursts(not weed BTW). HIGH altitude EMPs. We would do the same to them. EMPs are much more damaging at higher latitudes, so we would be able to cook off their grid too. You Aussie's aren't as likely to be EMPd. Satellite based weapons would be deployed, no missiles needed. They have to kill our civilian comms before the candles start popping off. So if you lose power, your cel phone is dead and your car won't start, then you can worry.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78085571 United States 10/01/2022 08:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For background, there are 16 of these E-6B Mercury aircraft operating as Looking Glass stationed at Travis and Patuxent River. They are always on alert and usually airborne 24/7 so that they are always survivable. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82226421 The aircraft fly from these bases to predetermined orbit points over the ocean and hold there in a series of slow 25°-40° banks for six to ten hour missions. They can also refuel and stay up longer. This one is out of Pax River and is on one of these routine station missions over the Atlantic. If it was anything out of the ordinary, they would not be broadcasting ADSB-2 for all to see. If the guy next to the B-2 Airforce base is to be believed and not LARPING, they locked down the base and launched the B-2s. Doesn't sound so normal to me. Cmon, he's larping, not even good at it. |

But remember the mass majority of the world is on Facebook or twitter discussing pumpkin spice latte day and not tracking the impending doom that is the result of the posturing between Russia and the west. Curious that china is silent. Maybe Putin will turn Beijing into a glass parkinglot and spare the west in a shocking move. Social media influencer? I influence minds that matter. |
