Engine Powered Balloon apparently
This being a picture of the station I suppose – rather than a picture of the UFO itself, which is what everyone wanted to see.
The article says “The Israeli military are “if it really was an engine-powered unmanned balloon, it could have been a terrorist home-made UAV like the ones that experts have been talking about for a long time now. The fact is that, with current consumer-level remote control technology and the miniaturization of explosive and surveillance devices, UAVs could be made by anyone with internet access.”
Ah – so it still could have been an alien craft then?
Shape of things to come though – this is the first.
In other news, the Stuxnet worm has apparently done as much damage to Iran’s Nuke program as a military strike would have – putting it back by several years.
We are at war now aren’t we?
I keep wondering when we’re going to start getting physically violent – because the economic violence we’re suffering is unsustainable… well, it’s unsustainable for us. Something’s got to give – but on top of that, we’re seeing a globalisation of police-statehood. Police porta-statehood. Democratic governments all over the world are forcing the poor to carry the can for a bank failure. “Austerity”… as though it’s a moral imperative – our leaders “show strength” by taking it out on the poor…
… and as we have just seen in Canada, in Denmark theoretically democratic governments are breaking their own laws to put on a display for the benefit of the new global elite – about how tough an in control they are. Here in NZ, our illustrious PM is forcing through the biggest increase in state power (all in secret of course) that has ever been undertaken in peace time. The reason? The rugby world cup is being played here next year… the excuse is terrorism, the real reason is to crack down on would be protest.
Julian Assange just spent 9 days in solitary confinement without even being charged – over something which is clearly political – and corporations are kowtowing to the whims of right-wing, loose-cannon politicians… who’s conduct (in the case of Hillary Clinton) HAS actually been illegal – but she won’t even be charged. 9 days in solitary is punishment – it is widely regarded (by people who have experienced both physical and psychological torture), to be a type of torture – and it is torture that the US routinely dishes out.
Arch-creep Dick Cheney was just cleared by bribery charges in Nigeria – by Haliburton paying $1/4 of a billion – which as far as I can see is just another fucking bribe isn’t it? Different laws for the rich and poor. The globalised, corporatised feudalism suffered for so long by the rest of the world is coming to a town near you.
The global class war that’s been going on for decades… maybe forever, has crossed the Rubicon – and is now treating Western populations the same way that the IMF treated South/Central America during the 80s.
And meantime, a suspected remote-controlled UAV has been shot down over an Israeli Nuke Station. Welcome to the 20-teens. The war of the spaghetti monsters is on.
