One of Richard Sauder’s important discoveries is a New York Times article by reporter William Broad that headlined: “Military’s Secret Star Trek Is Over – Billions Wasted On Complex – and Shuttle.” That article was published on August 7, 1989 – eighteen years ago – and here are the lead sentences:
“The Defense Department is dismantling a secretive, coast-to-coast space complex that cost at least $5 billion and was intended to operate in collaboration with the civilian space shuttle.
“Over the last three years, the department has mothballed a $3.3 billion spaceport in California and scrapped a sprawling control center in Colorado. Last year, it disbanded a secret cadre of 32 astronauts based in Los Angeles.”
November 20, 2007 Elmhurst, Illinois - The whole world knows about September 11, 2001, when the two World Trade towers melted down to New York City streets after terrorist-controlled airliners flew into them. The day before, on September 10th, 2001, then Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, declared his own war on the Pentagon bureaucracy for wasting so much unaccounted money. Sec. Rumsfeld said, “According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.”
One of Rumsfeld’s worried employees was Jim Minnery from the Defense Department’s Finance and Accounting Service. He backed up Rumsfeld by saying, "We know the money is gone. But we don't know what they spent it on." Minnery, a former Marine turned whistle-blower, risked his job by speaking out about millions of dollars missing from Department of Defense (DOD) balance sheets.
Twenty years earlier in the early 1980s, Department of Defense Analyst Franklin Spinney also made headlines exposing what he called "accounting games in which the books are cooked routinely year after year.”
Trillions of dollars “cooked” – by whom? And for what reason? These questions were behind one of the presentations at the Las Vegas UFO Crash Retrieval Conference November 10-11, 2007. Michael Schratt, 38-year-old, has always had a passion for studying airplanes and even took some Parks College courses in aerospace engineering in St. Louis. He did not earn a degree, but he went on to become an autocad draftsman working on aerospace components. Today, he is an Aerospace draftsman for Armstrong Aerospace based in Elmhurst Illinois.

Hello & Much Respect to you, Mr. Lear...
I wondered if you were aware of/heard of,
(because I do believe the photos
of *Alien Moon Artifacts, ect.
were etched-out+covered-up, in the NASA photos.
That being said, (if we were NOT 'warned-off the moon'),
isn't it highly likely we *Have an "Out-Post,
and/or Military*Non-Terrestrial Military Officers",
as Gary McKinnon, said he read?
Your much appreiated thoughts on this please, Sir?
Peace & HappyHolidays, ((*_*))

please be advised that we have in fact located extraterrestrial UFOs (called `anomolies`) from this location. I will not go further into this at this time.
Meck - This is the island housing the exo-atmospheric kill vehicles launch pad. Other various ballistic rockets are also deployed from this location, containing `packages` that are of Crypto OMNI & UMBRA top secret classification.
The Marshallese people have no idea as to what the U.S. government is actually doing there on the islands that the USMDC is renting from them. They just see the $ signs. Most of the indigenous people don`t even have running water or electricity. They are quite beholden to the U.S. Army.
Since 1974, Wake Island has served as a launch platform for military rockets involved in testing anti-missile systems and atmospheric re-entry trials. Launches take place from 19°17′24″N, 166°37′05″E.

Comments:
Johnston Atoll consists of four small man-made islands enclosed in an egg-shaped reef approximately 21 miles in circumference. The wildlife refuge on the Atoll is a habitat for 32 species of coral, 300 species of fish, the endangered sea turtle and Hawaiian monk seal, and 20 species of migratory birds. Johnston, the main island, is 1000 yards long and 200 yards wide. The deed will contain use restrictions because the atoll was used by the Defense Department for storage of chemical munitions and as a missile test site in the 1950's and 60's. The island can be used as a residence or vacation getaway but it does not have utilities or a water supply. The airstrip and the golf course are closed.

Zorgon, would you care to corroborate on Russian launches from Melville Island, or is your "research" unworthy of posting, in the end?

The above is the image source for the group of islands Zorgon posted earlier (that are not found on Google Earth.)
I decided to open the link in a different browser. When i did that I removed the /ALT_LNCH to see what the source behind it was. So then my URL became

OK..once I did that I got a security breech message and was redirected to the homepage of the FBI! You guys should try it, its kinda interesting!

With all due respect, I think that you might be a little misinformed as to what the actual meaning of the different Space Commands is.
I dont understand what the big deal is with the advertisement for Army officers to become astronauts is.
As far as the hacking and security of the different networks goes, these days it would be impossible for anyone from the outside to hack the SIPRNET or anything above that.

Zorgon,
As far as the hacking and security of the different networks goes, these days it would be impossible for anyone from the outside to hack the SIPRNET or anything above that. There is the NIPRNET, which is the unclassified network, or .mil, SIPRNET, used for Secret classification, and JWICS, used for Top Secret things. Im not sure if there is anything above that, but JWICS deals with Top Secret SCI information, and thats about as high as I go. Im not saying that what you are talking about doesnt exist, but the things you are posting on here do not illustrate that, IMO.
With all due respect, I think that you might be a little misinformed as to what the actual meaning of the different Space Commands is.
The Space Cadre that you refer to by and large has to due with satellites and missiles.
These things launch into space, and therefore take many many people to track, maintain, monitor etc...
I don't understand what the big deal is with the advertisement for Army officers to become astronauts is. NASA, if im not mistaken, takes people from all branches of service to become prospective astronauts. Trust me, if it were for some secret program, you would not find it listed on a public website, or any other document you would have stumbled across.
I am free to talk about any of my published US Patents which are in the public domain. I am, however, under an edict from DoD under the NSA to 'report any inquiries relative to the stealth patent'. I had a phone call from a person who identified himself as an 'Undersectetary of Defense' and the person read a statement to me which I later found was excerpted from the National Security Act, as amended. I was 'ordered' to report any inquiries of any kind, by anyone, to DoD relative to that case (patent). I've only had to do that one time in 20 years when a group of Isreali's, based in Philly, contacted me relative to undertaking collaboration on some 'project' in Haifa. I reported this as instructed and the group 'disappeared' shortly thereafter.
"Just be careful.. They probably don't consider you guys to be a threat, or they'd have already 'bored you to death with conversation'
If you have any further questions about the networks and security I will answer as well as I am able....so far as to not get myself into trouble.
