If the Rich and Powerful aren’t headed to the bunkers there isn’t anything going on

How do you know they aren’t ?


just sayin….

“People keep saying what is this.
I 100% believe a distraction. For what……Oh take your pick”

Myself, I like the way the “inquisition” as some Dems are calling it are hammering twitter and the biden crime family right now…

Never associate intelligence with status. Stupid, people can be, or can become, wealthy. Many geniuses are poor. We may not see the wealthy run off to hide in their bunkers because they never believed that anything can, or would dare to harm them.

Oh don’t misunderstand, I don’t associate intelligence with status. I do however believe the very rich and powerful get told things sooner than the rest of us. That is a fact.

I’ve seen this first hand.

Your right, on 911 many of the rich and famous didn't go near the towers which they otherwise would have went there.

We also haven't had an Emergency Broadcast Alert go off on television and our phones.

I'm sure everything is fine.

How would the elite know to go to the bunkers?

We apparently can't even detect these balloons until they are in our airspace and even then, like this last one, assuming this was the same one spotted in Montana, then again in Wisconsin and finally taken down over Lake Huron. These things must be really hard to spot.

If a real attack happened using balloons, I don't think they'd have time and you certainly wouldn't know about it.

One other thing to take note of, when the air tanker was sent to Wisconsin, it was sent directly to Marinette, what's in Marinette? Marinette Marine Corp, they are a government ship building contractor. If I were a foriegn adversary, I'd want to know what's there. If you ever drive through this area, the destroyers are just sitting in the river, you can see them from the bridge going into Michigan. If you go under the bridge on foot you can get pretty close but there is a fence eventually.

I wonder if the facility has it's own secret radar to detect air threats and this is how it was detected.

We can detect some balloons, but until recently, we did not pay much attention to balloons crossing through our airspace.

As I said in another thread, it's like how you used to be able to board a plane without taking off your shoes and having them checked. Most everyone wore shoes, and it is conceivable that innthe past some of those folks smuggled things they should not have, in their shoes.

But until something to blow up a plane with a bomb in their shoe, no one thought to check the shoes of boarding passengers.


Furthermore, balloons are very difficult to image on radar, they give little to no return signal, and are therefore a rather primitive form of "stealth" technology; which, until now everyone has ignored because they "low tech", slow, and easy to see if you're close enough (and looking for them). The only part of a balloon (or dirigible/blimp) that shows up on radar, typically, are the bits and pieces attached to the craft.

By removing the "filters" our early warning radar systems have employed to "weed out" false alarms, we can now see more of what is up there; including the thousands of balloons used for dozens of legitimate reasons all around the
World every day.

If we start chasing, and shooting, down all of them now...


We're going to be very busy.


ETA:


Balloons can not visually locate, or even image for that matter, anything better than a satellite. Maybe a clear picture of the same blade of grass...But the difference would have little to no strategic significance.

Balloons are better at gathering electronic signal information than satellites, and can loiter over a signal source far longer than any satellite whizzing by in its orbit. And the presence of a balloon can be far less predictable and more difficult to anticipate than a satellite whizzing overhead in an established orbit at a predictable speed.

Lastly, there is no way alien tech would be so rudimentary that our earthy military could just shoot it down.

They're probes, mean to be vulnerable and shot down. False sense of security on our part.

f the Rich and Powerful aren’t headed to the bunkers there isn’t anything going on

They're already there, we're just seeing their doubles.

The other thing to consider as well, we don't have the strategic oil reserve that we use to have, these F-22's and F-16's aren't your mom's Toyota Camry hybrid. Why do you think they send up a refueling tanker on each of these missions. They get around .4 MPG.

We literally cannot afford to be chasing every single balloon spotted, we'll run out of fuel eventually.
