"Hello, Central!" What Is The Truth Behind The U.S. Spy Satellite Planned Missile Shoot Down By U.S. Navy? (Updated Feb. 21, 2008)

From: RG
Hi Patrick,
After reading this article and listing to the news about our spy satellite, that needed to be shot down because it was a threat to our health. The shooting down of the Chinese satellite a few months ago and how we were so upset with the Chinese. I shake my head and wonder what is the next thing to hit us. Something is up and it smells like a new attempt by our government to start something.
I must admit that from the time I had heard that we were going to hit this spy satellite I became very suspicious.
What is your take on all this;
Russian Military Analysts are stating that this test of their space based missile systems is a ‘necessity’ for the Americans prior to the launching of Total War, of which they state Iran and Syria will be the first target of and to be followed by strikes on Russia and China.
Thanks Patrick, you and Anne are very special people thank you for helping make sense of all this.
God Bless You

Russian Military Analysts are reporting today on their growing concerns over some of the United States top war leaders ‘fleeing’ their Nation this week, and which these reports state could very well be the ‘most pivotal week for our [Russias] future’.
President Bush is being reported in the Western media to be on an ‘extended’ tour of African Nations while his Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, is reported to be traveling to Kenya,

Of the greatest concerns about this week to Russia, according to these reports, is the ‘illegal’, Western backed, breaking away of the Serbian province of Kosovo and the United States planned space weapon test targeting one of their own spy satellites, both of these events occurring ‘under the influence’ and between the ‘esoteric bookends’ of the Annual Solar Eclipse of February 7, 2008 and the Total Lunar Eclipse on February 20/21 which ‘targets’ North America and Western Europe, and which will be the last Total Eclipse of our moon until December 21, 2010.

Though Russia has warned the US and European Union against creating a “serious precedent” by recognizing Kosovo, these warnings have fallen upon deaf ears as the United Kingdom has rushed its last remaining 1,000 Soldiers to the Balkans and the American President has stated that his Nation will recognize Serbia’s breakaway region.
However, Russian warnings on Kosovo do, indeed, appear to be coming true as the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Western backed

In their knowing of this brutal reality, as these reports continue, the United States War Leaders have ‘created’ a false story about one of their spy satellites being out of control and falling to Earth and to be ‘shot down’ by their Naval Forces upon the Space Shuttle Atlantis returning from its mission this week.
Russian Military Analysts are stating that this test of their space based missile systems is a ‘necessity’ for the Americans prior to the launching of Total War, of which they state Iran and Syria will be the first target of and to be followed by strikes on Russia and China.
Driving the West in their frenzy to engulf the World in Total Warfare, say Russian Economists, is the rapid disintegration of their economic system, of which, they state, the ‘worst is yet to come’ as their ‘obscure’ credit default swaps are nearing collapse, and which the International Herald Tribune News Service estimates to be over $45 Trillion, nearly ‘twice the size of the entire United States stock market’.
To the American people themselves, however, and who live in a Nation where the rabbits from their Great Yellowstone National Park have ‘disappeared’, as reported by ScienceDaily.Com, where the bats in their Northeastern regions ‘are mysteriously dying by the thousands’, as reported by the Associated Press News Service, and where ‘tens of billions of their honeybees have mysteriously died off’, as reported by the Star-Gazette News Service, to all of these, and more, it remains the sad fact that no warning, about anything, issued by anyone, even to their own senses, even to nature, even to the signs of the stars, can awaken them to the true state of the catastrophic dangers they are facing.

Dear Patrick,
Forgive me if I am over reacting at this time. Creator God Aton set the limit of 150 miles past earth's surface for any dark side nuclear actions in space and upon Mother Earth's surface. This is an intervention that many still do not know of or accept. I know the "ruse" and I know the "hype". There is nothing friendly at all about this rocket launch hype. What I do know is this will be taken care of by the Forces of the Light as it is "pure blasphemy" in response to The Law laid down. I believe this article is important....

U.S. Plans Test of Anti-Satellite Interceptor Against Failed
Intelligence Satellite
http://www.fas.org/blog/ssp/2008/02/us_plans_test_of_anti-satellit.php
Anti-satellite, Space, Ivan Oelrich, United StatesAdd comments
The United States is planning to intercept a dying reconnaissance satellite with a missile launched from a Navy ship. The administration justifies the intercept on the basis of public safety. That is a long stretch, indeed, and thus far in the news coverage that I have seen there is virtually no mention of the political consequences of the United States’ conducting its first anti-satellite test in over two decades.
The United States, along with China, Russia, and other space-faring nations, should be working to ban anti-satellite weapons. Such a ban would work strongly in the best interests of the United States because we depend more, by far, than any other nation on access to space for our economy and security. Any measure that reduces the threats to satellites will enhance American security. The proposed test is a potential public relations bonanza, showing the public how a defensive missile can protect us from a—largely imaginary—danger from above. What follows is a simple analysis of what some of these dangers might be and a description of what might happen. These are questions that should have been asked of the administration.
In December 2006, the United States launched a 5000 pound spy satellite from the military space center at Vandenberg, California. Virtually everything about these satellites is highly classified. The government has declined to even say who manufactured it, much less give details about what it does. Most accounts seem to assume it is a photoreconnaissance satellite. It is designated as US193.
The satellite was successfully placed into a 220 mile high orbit but radio communication with the satellite was soon lost. At 220 miles, the Earth’s atmosphere, while tenuous, still exerts some drag on a satellite the size of a small school bus that is pushing through it at 17,000 miles per hour. Reconnaissance satellites are normally placed in low orbits; they are just big cameras after all and you get better resolution in the pictures if the camera is closer to the thing it is photographing.
Reconnaissance satellites usually carry some propellant and small thrusting rockets, for three reasons. First, if there is a particular place on the Earth that the spy satellite needs to photograph, the orbit of the satellite will—eventually—naturally bring the satellite right overhead but the intelligence analysts, the military, or the president might not be able to wait. So the satellite can use its propellant and rockets to nudge it a little one way or the other to shift its orbit enough to bring it over the desired spot on the Earth sooner rather than later. Second, because the satellite is in such a low orbit, it will lose energy to air resistance and slowly come closer to the Earth. The rockets can be used as a booster to occasionally nudge the satellite a little higher to keep it in orbit. Third, when the propellant is almost gone and the satellite is doomed to reenter the atmosphere, the last bit of propellant can be used to intentionally slow the satellite and force it down, usually aiming for the Pacific Ocean where debris will fall harmlessly.
The propellant is hydrazine, a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen. It is not the most efficient propellant but it is extremely simple to use. It is a monopropellant, which means it can be used just by itself, there is no need for separate oxidizer and fuel. Just squirt some onto a catalyst in a reaction chamber and it decomposes, forming hot hydrogen and nitrogen gas that rush out a rocket nozzle, creating thrust. The problem with US193 is that radio control has been lost, the propellant is not being used up, the satellite is about to reenter the atmosphere, and the propellant tank is still filled with a thousand pounds of hydrazine. There is some chance that the tank will not burn up on reentry, some chance it could land on a populated area, and some chance the hydrazine could injure someone. Hence the plan to intercept the satellite.
You Can’t “Shoot Down” a Satellite.
Almost all press reports include some statement about how the Navy is going to “shoot down” the satellite. The image suggests a hunter with a shotgun shooting down a duck. Bang! The duck gets hit, its wings fold, and it falls to Earth. Not the way it works with a satellite. This is a satellite; it is in orbit. It stays in orbit because of its momentum and the balance between the centrifugal force and the Earth’s gravity. It is not being “held up” the way an airplane’s wings hold it up in the air.
When the interceptor hits the satellite, it is not like a bullet hitting a car, punching a hole in the side and coming out the other side. The interceptor will hit the satellite at about 18,000 miles per hour and the energy of the interceptor is far more than needed to melt and even vaporize the material of the interceptor. This happens so quickly it is as though it were an explosion. Shock waves will travel through the structure of the satellite and break it into pieces, some large, some as small as dust. The hope is, apparently, that the interceptor will break open the hydrazine tank so it will leak out before the tank reaches the ground.
But the interceptor is not “shooting down” the satellite. The satellite weights 5000 pounds and the interceptor weights 20 pounds. Even if the satellite breaks up into pieces those pieces are going to be moving in roughly the same direction as the satellite was moving, that is, in the same orbit. Some smaller pieces will encounter proportionately more air resistance and will come down sooner than the satellite would have. But if the propellant tank breaks free, the density of the propellant tank is higher than the average density of the satellite so the propellant tank by itself might actually stay up longer than the satellite by itself would have, had it remained whole.
The satellite is not being controlled but this intercept is going to trade one big uncontrolled satellite for several uncontrolled pieces of a satellite. If that helped it burn up in the atmosphere, that might be useful but the first thing that happens when a large satellite enters the atmosphere is that the structure fails and it breaks into pieces anyway. Recall the sad photos of the Columbia reentering the atmosphere: it was not a single hot streak across the sky but several huge pieces moving together; and that was a vehicle that was specifically designed to survive reentry.
The Pentagon tells us that the hydrazine tank will survive reentry. I remain unconvinced. Deorbiting something is not easy. The tank may not burn up entirely from the heat of reentry but the heat should be enough to vaporize the hydrazine, creating a high pressure in the tank that would rupture the tank, spilling the hydrazine harmlessly at very high altitude. Also keep in mind that this is not a sealed tank, there will be pipes going in and out and these will absolutely be sheered off by the reentry, allowing the hydrazine to vent. Finally, intercepting the satellite will not necessarily destroy the tank. Most likely the interceptor will break the satellite into pieces, one of which will be the hydrazine tank, which will reenter the atmosphere independently but keep in mind that the satellite would have broken up quickly upon reentry anyway.
And if the tank makes it to the surface? Well, we are told it might cover an area the size of two football fields with hydrazine and if someone remained in the area they could get a fatal dose. (If I were outside and a large tank of strange material fell from outer space, I confess, it would never occur to me to leave the area.) Well, if “two football fields” is as large at 100 meters by 100 meters, that is 10,000 square meters or just less than one ten billionth of the surface of the Earth. That makes winning the lottery seem like very good odds, indeed. To put this in perspective, the United States produces 36 million pounds of hydrazine every year, the world produces 130 million pounds of it. (It is used in, among other things, the production of plastic.) Most of this is transported around the industrial world by trucks and rail. At any given time, vastly more hydrazine is in transit around the world than is in this satellite. If the government were interested in public safety it would be better to take the $3 million cost of the Standard-3 missile and pay for a traffic light at a bad intersection or pay for children’s vaccinations.
So what is going on? When control of the satellite was first lost, the risk from the satellite was dismissed as trivial, not worth any real concern. Now we need to “shoot it down.” I cannot attribute motives without being able to read minds but a normally skeptical person could be forgiven for at least suspecting that this satellite is offering a chance for the Navy to test its missiles in an anti-satellite mode for the first time since the end of the Cold War. I have seen virtually no discussion of the arms control implications of this. Are we fueling an anti-satellite arms race? Who knows, but I don’t think anyone in this administration cares.
Two other good articles, here and here.

Dear AM & RG:
Thank you both for your question concerning the takedown of a U.S. spy satellite, and your wise comments on the subject. As always, the Darkside has presented us with another "smoke and mirrors" story to fool We the People.
The plan is to remove a supposedly defunct surveillance satellite with a U.S. Navy missile on Thursday, February 21, 2008. My sources, including Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn/Aton tell me that this plan is a hoax to cover up the real mission. The Darkside are losing badly this war to control Earth Shan and are attempting one last time to claim our planet for themselves.
There is no failed spy satellite that needs to be removed in this manner for the welfare of the people. The people were told of this plan, so that their questions would be answered, as to why a missile is being sent into space at this time. Too many people would know of any such covert operation and ask questions.
The missile the U.S. Navy is planning to launch on February 21, 2008 carries a nuclear warhead for the purpose of igniting the Van Allen belt. The Bush/Clinton/Bush Cabal have tried this several times in the past 19 years, and have been thwarted each time by the Forces of Light. Rest assured that this present attempt shall be stopped as well.
The ignition of the Van Allen Belt would cause a light so bright that anyone on Earth Shan with their eyes exposed would suffer permanent blindness. In addition, the torching of the surface of our planet would be a real possibility. Such a holocaust would assure the Darkside of victory and total control of Earth Shan, so they think. Such shall never be allowed to happen. Hatonn says, "This is the last straw! Mother Earth can no longer tolerate such negativity".
Evil has run its course, and the lies are being exposed daily. The Darkside is in panic and trying every desperate move possible on the "chessboard" to win. How foolish they are, for Creator God always makes the last move, and it is always "checkmate!" Be in hope and peace.
In Love and Light,

Dear Patrick Bellringer:
Here is a link to an animation of the US attempt to destroy the US Spy Satellite using a ship launched missile. This link to the animation is from Space.com
http://www.space.com/php/video/player.php?video_id=080219-satellite
This satellite is the size and weight of a Dodge Caravan and carries copious amounts of a chemical commonly called Hydrazine. A simple Goggle search regarding the chemical Hydrazine discovers the following:
“Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Poison. Probable human carcinogen… Breathing Hydrazine for short periods may cause coughing and irritation of the throat and lungs, convulsions, tremors, or seizures. Breathing Hydrazine for long periods may cause liver and kidney damage, as well as serious effects on reproductive organs.
Eating or drinking small amounts of Hydrazine may cause nausea, vomiting, uncontrolled shaking, inflammation of the nerves, drowsiness, or coma.”
As depicted in the animation and reported on www.Space.com , the remaining Hydrazine will encircle the globe as it re-enters the atmosphere. Some of it will be changed (modified) as the molecules disassociate with the heat of re-entry. This may not be good. The rest of the Hydrazine that does make its way to the earth’s surface will become problematic.
All this assumes that they can hit the satellite with one missile. If they miss or ‘nick’ the missile and the Hydrazine is dispensed over a larger area things could get worse.
I am greatly troubled by the lack of thought that went into this decision to shoot down the missile. At this point there is nowhere to hide except in a air conditioned cave or underground fortress. I am not trying to be an alarmist just believe that environmental stewardship is in everyone’s best interest.
Yours Truly,
R

ANALYSIS OF THE INTERCEPT VIDEO

Date: Thursday, 21 February 2008, 3:15 p.m.
after I watched the video several times, the scene at 01:24 minutes into the video, about which Gen. Cartwright says "We have two videos here. The first one is essentially the launch and the flyout, the second one is the intercept... and this is the second video... there is the satellite" doesn`t look like a high speed collision (22,000 mph relative speed) of two massive bodies and the resulting explosive disintegration to me any more. Instead I would say it is the ignition and the subsequent separation of the second or third stage of the intercepting missile.
At the link below you can see the flight of the missile and the intercept in an extra sequence.
21 seconds into this video a change over of scenes takes place from the burning of the first stage of the missile to a white spot that ignites and releases an even smaller white spot behind. This is what Gen. Cartwright identifies as intercept and what to me seems much too symmetrical for a disintegration.
There is a third scene starting 37 seconds into the video which clearly shows a midair explosion. But again this scene is not coherent with the first two scenes. So generally speaking, this clip could as well be composed of completely different events to convey a desired picture.
I start getting emails as response to the prior post before I have even finished this one. Please get me right: This is no judgement of the whole "satellite shoot down issue", but the attempt of an analysis of the video which is sold as proof of the successful destruction of the decaying satellite.
