I was told tonight, that the US military watches every cubic inch of our territorial waters, 24/7/365, and that they can image something as small as a sardine with ease. Point being, that there's no way that something as big as a sub could ever get by our sensors undetected.

I'm willing to admit that I don't know what I don't know, and that the poster who told me that could be entirely correct. But..... stories like this one cause me to consider that someone may have a technological edge on us in the stealth area.

That's why this story won't die. There just isn't enough solid data to debunk it. Too many uncertainties exist in the public mind, which reflects directly on our government, whose job it is to keep us safe from harm.

I think that folks see the rot in every nook and cranny of our country, and wonder to themselves if that rot hasn't infected our military and diminished its capacity so badly, that this "missile launch" actually could have happened.

Didn't we just observe the one year anniversary of the Ft Hood massacre? Haven't we seen that much of the top brass is hopelessly compromised with political correctness? Don't we have a CIC who shouldn't even be playing with toy soldiers, let alone making life and death decisions about the lives of our fighting forces?

I don't know. My confidence ain't what it used to be. I'm still not convinced that someone didn't sneak a sub off our coast and fire off a missile to warn us of something.

And that is why I posted this article along with another one about a possible China connection.

If that is true, how do those homemade drug and gun running submersibles get through. I am betting they aren't all getting caught,

you post “Point being, that there’s no way that something as big as a sub could ever get by our sensors undetected.”

I wish I could still hold that comforting thought.

You might not want to read this.

You were told, to be technical, a "blantant lie."

“if that rot hasn’t infected our military and diminished its capacity”

9 11 caught the military by surprise.

Seems like the enemy will always be trying to test our weakness and blind spots.

They will try to hit us in ways we haven’t imagined.

We can't and they can. We have less anti-sub capacity today than we did ten years ago. We now have the smallest Navy ship wise since The Great Depression. The only 100% sure fire verification of a submarine is having a visual sighting. Other than that? Pray for a lucky and accurate ping. We have advanced technology but no where near what you were told.

When it boils down to it . . .

I don’t think it will be technological differences that will be the most devastating factors.

It will be who, what, when, how

these blokes [globalist puppet masters]:

decided to destroy their own original nests & homelands in the USA and elsewhere, in behalf of making overt establishment of their tyrannical global government easier.
