Ever thought the term C4ISR was acronym overkill? Well, here’s another doozy. The Air Force’s fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $11.3 million to develop tools to do, wait for it, "D5."
D5 stands for "deceive, degrade, deny, disrupt, destroy." No, it’s not something an awful child does on the playground; it’s what the service wants its cyberweapons to do enemy networks.
Cyber Vision 2025 provides the Air Force vision and blueprint for cyber Science and Technology (S&T) spanning cyberspace, air, space, command and control, intelligence, and mission support. Cyber Vision focuses on S&T in the near (FY12-15), mid(FY16-20), and far (FY21-25) term, delineating where the Air Force should lead, follow, or watch.

The 3 Gorges Dam breaking - nuclear power plants scenario makes me wonder: were those Chinese ghost towns always plan B for a catastrophe? Whole cities (mostly empty) where the powerful and those deemed essential will relocate to - with a complete infrastructure already in place?

My once a thread comment on ET and these crashed off world vehicles.
I’m expected to believe that an ET is advanced enough to transit galaxies, worm holes, deep space, solar systems, and dimensions through the most hostile and dangerous conditions possible JUST to get to the “crown jewel” of the universe with the most pristine conditions possible, to be crashing all over the place and only govt agencies recovering these banged up craft.
Out of ALL the possible ambassadors to Earth from intergalactic or dimensional locations... we get the ones that are flying impaired or crashed while texting.
I’ll need to put my eyes and hands on said “off world craft” before I buy that.
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and two cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and fills it with golf balls.
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing......Only I will remain."

cranky, they’re going to have to trot out all this off world tech before I’m buying it.
My gut tells me it’s a honeypot for black ops $$ to funnel through.
