PRAVDA Secret documents, declassified since 1997, reveal development of a USAF"forty foot 'flying saucer' designed to rain nuclear destruction on the Soviet Union from 300 miles in space."

United Launch Alliance has won a $95.7 million U.S. Air Force contract to launch a National Reconnaissance Office satellite on an Atlas V rocket.

Dal dopoguerra ad oggi le potenze leader del globo, hanno visto in più occasioni le proprie forze militari impegnate in confronti diretti con gli UFO, dalle scontate conseguenze. Nel 1952 durante il flap su Washington, all’Air Force veniva impartito l’ordine “SHOOT THEM DOWN!” (abbatteteli).. L’anno successivo il comandante in capo dell’USAF Childhaw, dichiarava: “WE’VE LOST MANY MAN AND PLANES TRYING TO INTERCEPT THEM” (Abbiamo perso molti uomini e aerei nel tentativo di intercettarli).

Here's an interesting article in Wired, about how the US Air Force has issued guidelines for its personnel when participating in debates in the blogosphere. The evolving infowar tactics and strategies seem better suited for ordinary citizenry to take up the fight rather than military servicemen, if you ask me. It sounds like 21st-century society wants to outsource or delegate even patriotism itself to specialized personnel, to leave the carefree masses unencumbered by such menial chores.

If Gen. Petraeus says things are rosy, they are. Questioning his integrity is an attack on all the men and women who serve in our military. The same holds true for the brave Army investigators who, when confronted with the evidence surrounding Lavena Johnson’s death, ruled it a suicide. The photographs revealed that Lavena, a small woman, barely 5 feet tall and weighing less than 100 pounds, had been struck in the face with a blunt instrument, perhaps a weapon stock.
