American spy satellite downed in Peru as US nuclear attack on Iran thwarted
2007-09-25
Not a full-blown Nuggets From Pravda, but once you see this I'm sure you'll agree it needs a special post of its own.
Russian Military Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that one of the United States most secretive spy satellites, the KH-13, targeting Iran was 'destroyed in its orbit' with its main power generator powered by the radioactive isotope Pu-238 surviving re-entry and crashing in a remote region of the South American Nation of Peru, and where hundreds are reported to be ill from radiation poisoning.
brains... Brains... BRAINS...
...Most astonishing about these reports, however, are that they state that it was the Americans themselves who destroyed their own spy satellite with the attack upon it being made by the United States Air Forces' 30th Space Wing located at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This incident further fuels the intrigue involving the United States War Leaders plans to attack Iran in their attempt to engulf the entire Middle East in Total War, but, against which, according to Russian Military Intelligence Analysts, a 'high ranking and significant' faction of the American Military Establishment is opposed to.

This can be further evidenced by this past few weeks unprecedented announcement by the United States Air Force that 6 nuclear armed cruise missiles were removed, without authorization, from their secure holding facility, located in North Dakota at the Minot Air Force Base, and flown to Barksdale Air Force Base, located in Louisiana, where they were left 'unattended' for 'nearly 10 hours'.

It is interesting to note, too, that Barksdale Air Force Base is where the United States President was 'ordered' to report to on September 11, 2001 by the United States Air Force Strategic Command prior to his being 'transferred' under 'armed escort' to Offutt Air Force Base Strategic Command Center near Omaha, Nebraska, where the first 'truce' between Americas War Leaders and its Military Forces was 'negotiated' by billionaire Warren Buffett as intermediary between the rival power blocs.

Though the rival American power blocs do seem to have maintained their uneasy truce, and which have, to date, prevented further attacks within the United States itself, these latest events, according to these reports, appear to show that this truce is now breaking down over threats and planning by the American War Leaders to attack Iran, and which Russia has warned would be 'catastrophic'.

What remains unknown to us, at this time, is what counter-planning the American War Leaders have in store for furthering their war aims against Iran as the United States Military have 'clearly signaled' that it will not allow nuclear weapons to be used, even to the extent of denying to their War Leaders one of their most prized spy satellites used to guide their nuclear cruise missiles to their intended Iranian targets.

As the American peoples desire for war appears to be exhausted, and with new polls showing their President and Congress' approval ratings at 'record lows', these reports paint a frightening picture of an American War Leadership determined to engulf the entire World in Total War in order to perpetuate their hegemony.

Not since last century's German Nazi and Japanese Empire's has the World seen such naked aggression towards the capture of the Earth's resources, and which caused the deaths of nearly 100 million people, but which the United States and its Western Allies now seem determined to see through to its brutal, and bloody end.

#33  OP, from someone reliable who knows this stuff (not me):

We've not used reactors per se.

In the 60s NASA did launch some experimental birds that produced thermoelectric energy from radioactive materials.

Deep space probes use subcritical masses of radioactive materials to generate power, since solar sails won't work that far out.

The Soviets used reactors on the radar sats, with reportedly mixed results.

Ours are reported to be solar.

#32  Has anyone ever read anything that says our spy satellites are powered by nuke reactors? I've always been led to believe they used photovoltaic solar panels - those that stay in orbit long enough to require such things.

As for attacking Iran, it's only 28 years past time...

#27  Yeah, there's some good propaganda here if you don't mind dropping to the level of those ratty little tabloids at the supermarket check out stands. You start thinking it's like those stories about Chupacabra and space aliens and the black and white pictures of two headed bats until you realize that the writers really do expect some people to believe it. It must take some real talent to come up with this crap. I was going to ask how many Russians actually read this stuff and believe it until I saw the posts from KOS and DU. That really is scary.

#23  So tu3031's blogger believes Israel saved humanity and the world from an alien invasion? Either that, or someone in the US Air Force wanted Israel to commit an act of war against the U.S., and Israel complied... Oh dear. I'm just not clever enough for this.

#22  If I had more spare time were really sneaky, I'd register at DKos and DU and post a link to this article just to get the moonbats going.

I was joking when I posted that.

Someone went and did it for real.

The DU commenters are split. Half of them recognize it for the nonsense it is, and a couple of commenters take the time to link to truthful information on how satellites work, etc.

The other half . . . oh my!

wow this is huge information
thanks for the posts.. you can always count on the russian sites to tell the truth about world events, something american newspapers have no clue.
when 9/11 happened I had more up to date news on russian newspaper sites than on US sites.
this is very disturbing. but if you have paid attention the last week, the war on iran has officially started when on 9/4 Israel bombed syrian 'alleged' nuclear sites. the 3rd world war is well begun!
how long do you think we have till serious bomb lobbing starts? and who do you think really took out US satellite? my bet is on the chinese.. smart little boogers.. don't want to see their major weapons buyers nuked to hell and back.

Don't know why so many here justwant to completely dismiss these stories. For weeks we've heard the drums bangin for Iran, even from the French. Israel bombed Syria, but bushler refuses to talk about it. Nukes were illegaly moved here in the US, and something crashed in Peru and sickened people. Meteorites don't usually do that, (unless the Blob is inside) Who really knows what is happening in Iraq, or why we invaded in the first place? There is no way these guys thought there were really wmd's there. Why did the guy who lied and told us he found some just testify in front of congress as the very epitome of truth? There may not be any dots to connect here, but let's not just blindly accept the msm or our government.

certainly an interesting interpretation
many have speculated the military wouldn't permit georgie-boy a chance to play with nukes. and i remember all sorts of speculation about his whereabouts on 911.

Pravda isn't known for its journalistic integrity, however it fits a lot of facts
It would also mean we're in the midst of a military coup against Bush. Scary stuff.

Permit me to humbly interject since the thread already has The Blob, Aliens and what-not, that some people think 9-11 was a (corporate? military?) coup against Bush. That Bush was the intended audience, if you will, of 9-11. That all he's ever done afterwards has been to fulfill the blueprint which was not his (yes, he *is* too dumb, and too uncurious, to even think in the terms required) but somebody else's.
It seems to me that all that's known as 9-11 conspiracy theories, this one fits most of the known facts and explains Bush's behavior best.

These people are the future of the Democratic Party. Now that's a scary thought.

#20  The event has a very simple explanation. A meteorite impacted a sewage lagoon and sh*t and pathogens were spread over a wide area. Fecal coliform went for a ride. End of story.

Good stuff.

That Israeli-Syrian thing?

However, and according to these SVR reports, in the early morning hours of September 6th, an American Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft patrolling along the Syrian-Iraqi border alerted Israel’s Air Force to the entry of a ‘suspected non-terrestrial’ aircraft into Syrian airspace near the city of Aleppo 350 km north of Damascus.

These reports go on to state that upon receiving the ‘warning’ from the Americans, an Israeli Air Force Patrol squadron flying off the coast of Lebanon went into supersonic speed, raced into Turkish airspace, and in less than 20 minutes were over the ‘target area’ whereupon they ‘engaged’ an ‘unknown’ type of aircraft, and which upon being fired upon by the Israelis ‘ascended rapidly’ into the stratosphere and ‘disappeared’.

These reports do not identify the aircraft fired upon by the Israelis other than to mention that the American Air Force is suspected of having the World’s only aircraft capable of being classified as ‘non-terrestrial’ with hypersonic speed, and which has been called Aurora.

What brings these reports, however, about this ‘non-terrestrial’ aircraft, from the science of the known, to ancient science, were the interviews conducted by SVR and Syrian intelligence analysts with a number of the eyewitnesses to the Israeli attack upon the unknown aircraft, plus an examination of the site of the attack itself.

According to the Syrian villagers located outside of the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo, one of the oldest known cities in the World, it has been long known of ‘strange’ aircraft descending from the sky towards what are called the ancient burial grounds of the giants.

It is further believed by these villagers that the purpose for the ‘visits’ of these aircraft is for the retrieval of the remains of the giants, and which, apparently, was verified by the large number of recently excavated and empty graves of the giants seen by SVR and Syrian intelligence analysts on September 6th.

In attempting to understand why the ancient giantÂ’s remains might have importance, to anyone, we can read the words of the WorldÂ’s foremost authority on these ancient Syrian giants, Russian Scientist Professor Ernst Muldashev, and who has stated:

"Ancient giants may have never buried their dead in the ground the way we do. Different people in the present-day world bury the dead differently. It is a custom in India to burn the dead and throw the ashes in water. It seems to me that ancient people put the dead bodies into sarcophaguses where the bodies dematerialized and turned into a kind of energy blobs that were used by living people for various purposes. That is why the bones of giant people may never be found."

As to the greatest significance of these events; In a time when human beings will bring our World to the brink of total destruction, and as all the ancient religions prophesize, we are to look for the coming of the ancients (gods) ‘from the sky’ in our Earth’s ‘final hours’.

#8  this is what Pravda says in the 'about us' column

"The newspaper Pravda analyzes events from the point of view of the Party's interests, whereas PRAVDA On-line takes a pro-Russian approach to forming its policy."

I wish the NYTimes was as forthright

#5  I trust the Ruskies military intelligence about as much as their denials with the polonium tea poisoning they sponsored against their man sheltered by the Brits. I don't know what fell in Peru, but I do know one thing, 'if' it is radioactive, it's either a core fragment from a dying super nova, the micro singularity of a blackhole, or man made! My money is on man made whether by intent or errant malfunction, if it's radioactive. You want me to believe Pravda?! Release the orbital trajectory and vector analysis from your 'Bear Bosses', such as was done by a consortium when the Chinese destroyed their own satellite a few months ago. Publish this telemetry in your prestigious paper or send it to the New York Times. People have been known also, of getting sick or seeing ufo's from a symbiotic association to hysteria. I'll assess my interpretation in part by transparency of the Peruvians, and how quick GoogleEarth goes 'blurred' over the area, thankyou!!

#2  As near as anyone can tell, the meteorite hit an area with a lot of subsurface water rich in arsenic, which vaporized during the impact (along with a lot of rock and other stuff not generally healthy to breathe) and caused problems for the surrounding people, and problems for _us_ because yahoos like Pravda will use the situation to generate propaganda.
