Fire in the Sky- What Really Happened in the Cold War

FIRE FROM THE SKY Battle of Harvest Moon & True Story of Space Shuttles
by “One Who Knows”
PART 1
As I begin writing this report, the news is telling about a strange USAIR airplane crash in Pennsylvania. Next day a plane crashed in Moscow. CNN told about a fireball that was reported from Bakersfield, California, to Medford, Oregon. They said it occurred about 6 or 6:15 in the morning on Saturday, September 10 (1994) and was so bright that the light shining through windows woke up some people. They showed a house in San Rafael with a hole in the roof from a piece of something falling from the sky.
An Ariane rocket was launched from French Guyana and was lost, a day before. Several earthquakes have occurred in California, including one that CNN showed on a map, southwest of Lake Tahoe. About 15 minutes later, CNN began telling about the Space Shuttle firing lasers at Earth and showed a view of Earth, with Lake Tahoe in the upper right corner of the screen. If you put the two together, then you see that the Columbia Space Shuttle is firing laser beams at Earth “for environmental purposes,” precisely where the earthquakes are occurring. The President went to Camp David, then when the President returned (?), a plane crashed into the White House. Later he gave a speech in a room of the White House, then just after he left a fire broke out in the room. Rosh Hashanah is recently passed (September 6-7, 1994), and Yom Kippur is coming up (September 15, 1994). The President has ordered 8,300 Navy, 1,800 Marine and 4,000 Army personnel along with 15 or 20 warships to [prepare to] invade Haiti.
SECRET WARS BETWEEN POWERS THAT BE If what you are about to read does not scare the pants off you, then you must not be wearing any. Pay attention and this information may save your life. The purpose of this article is to inform you briefly about some of the secret wars that are going on between the Powers-That-Be that are struggling for control of the world.
In 1978, I was head of a Mensa special interest group called the Doomsday Club News and Intelligence Report. I wrote a newsletter for the Club. In the May, 1978, issue I said: “WAR is an ever-present danger, much closer than most people realize. Now Russia is testing ’killer satellites’ and laser and particle beam weapons, while the U.S. is undertaking a major program to develop counterbeam weapons – a real Star Wars battle is taking shape. War in space is now possible and the likelihood of it grows. A program is now under way to determine the feasibility of using the Space Shuttle for defense purposes.” What I did not know at that time, was the fact that the space war had already started. This manuscript will provide more details. In the same newsletter, I mentioned that Richard Helms of the CIA had been fired by President Carter, and recommended that the reader contact the Security & Intelligence Fund (at address included) for more information. I listed the staff members as James Angleton, Elbridge Durbrow, Brig Gen. Robert Richardson, Former Secy. of Navy and Treasury Robert Anderson, former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral G. W. Anderson, and other names that become important later in this story.
SHIFTING DEFENSE STRATEGIES On page 10, I said: “The U.S. is shifting its defense to sub-launched ballistics missiles and air-launched cruise missiles, as silo-based ICBMs become vulnerable to a pre-emptive first strike by the Soviet Union.” The B-52, F-14, F-15, and F-16 will be equipped with cruise missiles over the next five years, in the Pacific Region. This posture indicates admission that nothing standing still in the U.S. can be protected – only aircraft and submarines have a chance of surviving a first strike. “Independent congressional studies already have been completed that show that by 1980 the Russians could conduct a first strike against the Minuteman force with a strong probability of being able to destroy the majority of U.S. ICBMs, and that by as early as 1981 the U.S. will no longer have a sufficient deterrent to preclude a Soviet first strike.” I continued with a quote from Aviation Week & Space Technology, (p. 14, Apr. 3, 1978), about the numbers of missiles that we and Russia had. Later on the page I mentioned about Defense Secretary Harold Brown proposing a sharp increase in civil defense spending, including funding a study to plan faster evacuation of cities during threat of a nuclear attack. What was going on? Why was the U.S. shifting its defense strategy, and suddenly emphasizing the importance of civil defense?
In my July issue of the DCN&IR newsletter, I quoted General George S. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said: “What the Soviets are doing is unsettling, principally because none of us know why.” I said: “General Alexander Haig, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, warned Washington in March of the fundamental change in the Warsaw Pact Air Arm to “an offensive character.” I continued by saying that I felt that Russia was preparing to defend itself from the threat of a rearmed Germany. I mentioned that most of the U.S. nuclear force was on German soil. On page 7 I said that, “Japan, for the first time since World War II, has ordered its armed forces to prepare defense plans to protect itself from foreign attack.” On page 10, I quoted Alexander Solzhenitsyn as saying, “No weapons, no matter how powerful, can help the West until it overcomes its loss of willpower. To defend oneself, one must be ready to die.” PARTICLE BEAM TECHNOLOGY RIDICULED The cover headline article of my October 1978 issue was NUCLEAR WEAPONS – SOON OBSOLETE! The following is what that article said: General George Keegan – grad of Harvard, flew 56 combat missions in WWII, earned Distinguished Service Cross in Vietnam, Executive VP of U.S. Strategic Institute, Chief of U.S. Air Force Intelligence. About two years ago he retired from the Air Force, because he saw some critical dangers to the U.S. that he was not allowed to reveal to the public. He tried to warn the Powers in the White House but they laughed at him. So about 19 months ago he made the first public references to secret Russian research on “charged-particle beam weapons.” Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine followed up on his information and determined that he was essentially correct. However, President Carter and Defense Secretary Harold Brown, both badly briefed by the CIA, ridiculed Keegan.
U.S. scientists at Lawrence Livermore Lab (bicycle riding distance from me) undertook Project See-Saw to determine if the U.S. could build particle beam weapons. The decision was that it was presently impossible to build such a weapon and since we are so far ahead of the Soviets technologically, it was ridiculous to think they were building one. Keegan revealed his findings on Soviet particle beam developments to CIA head William Colby in 1975. Colby convened the Nuclear Intelligence Panel which determined that, since the US could not build such a weapon, it was impossible that the Soviets were doing it. Colby never passed the information from the Air Force intelligence on to the President or Secretary of Defense. Keegan retired and started making the information public, through the American Security Council (of which I am a member of the National Advisory Board) and other groups. His story was greeted with high-level official sneering, the most acrimonious sneers coming from the self-styled “nuclear engineer” President Jimmy Carter and Defense Secretary Harold Brown (formerly from Lawrence Livermore Lab). “But despite the official denials, the Soviets continued their work, carrying at least eight electron-beam experiments into space on board Cosmos, Soyuz and Salyut spacecraft…” (AW & ST) and conducting tests at Semipalatinsk and Sarova. “At the same time, younger U.S. physicists, uninhibited by the ego problems of their elders, also were making progress on the key techniques required for beam weapons development.
Now the tide has turned. A full-scale U.S. effort to tackle the technology required to determine the feasibility of beam weapons development is being organized at the highest level in the Pentagon. Even the most stubborn skeptics now acknowledge that leaving this field uncontested to the Soviets is a risk the U.S. cannot afford to take. Because of the extreme public embarrassment this series [of articles] will bring to… President Jimmy Carter, and Defense Secretary Harold Brown, who saw his contemporaries try and fail in Project See-Saw, there is still an attempt to shroud the program in official secrecy” (Aviation Week & Space Technology, Oct. 2, 1978). The article states, “Experts on Capitol Hill, who have surveyed all the evidence including secret data not available to us, have concluded that Gen. Keegan’s assessment was essentially correct…” Edward Teller has informed key senators that Gen. Keegan’s analysis was right on the core of the matter.” The Soviets have already successfully tested particle beam weapons (as has France!). “U.S. particle beam weapons experts who have access to U.S. intelligence information and personal contacts with Russian physicists involved in magnetic and plasma physics programs believe the Soviets will field a ground-based proton beam weapon between 1980-1983.” SIPAPU PROJECT The Pentagon has initiated a program called “Chair Heritage” to field our own system by about 1982. It formerly was mostly a Navy program at the Naval Post-graduate facility in Monterey, CA, but is now being combined with the Army SIPAPU project (space beams, as opposed to beams carried on Navy vessels) and others – it seems that now everybody who is anybody is getting involved (Lawrence Livermore Lab, Sandia Corp., Defense Nuclear Agency, CIA, Hughes Aircraft, Lockheed, University of Texas, Austin Research Associates, etc.).
If you remember, Russia beat us into space with Sputnik, then we went into a crash program to get ahead of them. Vannevar Bush once said that it was impossible to build a ballistics missile capable of going 3000 miles, but within 10 years Russia had them and we were just beginning a crash program to catch up.
Now we are once again in a race for strategic superiority, but this time Russia may field their system in 2 years while it appears that we require at least 5 years – but then things can change quickly.
A problem we now have is the top leadership – the President and Secretary of Defense – may hold back progress because they do not like to admit their mistake. In the past, there were several intelligence services, all in competition with each other trying to be the most accurate and when one service goofed, the other pointed it out. Now, Carter has unified the intelligence services under Stansfield Turner and all intelligence reports must be through Turner before they get to the Defense Secretary or President from men such as Gen. Keegan, Gen. Singlaub, etc. It also creates the chance that the President can be considerably misinformed or uninformed. This, in the long run, could be an even greater danger to the U.S. than the particle beam weapon!
PARTICLE BEAM CAPABILITIES So what is a particle beam weapon? It is similar to a laser, but it is not a laser. Lasers shoot a beam of electromagnetic radiation (light), while particle beam weapons shoot a beam of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons, ions, etc.). What this means is that NUCLEAR WEAPONS MAY SOON BECOME OBSOLETE.
Whoever puts satellites with particle beam weapons into orbit first (property controlled by complex sensors and computers) can control the world. ANY GUIDED MISSILE OR AIRCRAFT CAN THEN BE ZAPPED OUT OF EXISTENCE IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND AFTER LAUNCH.
Under those conditions, we will still have nuclear bombs, but it would be impossible to deliver them against an enemy who is protected by particle beams.
An editorial in AW & ST said, “For beam weapons offer the promise of reducing strategic nuclear weapons to a negligible factor in the future. If successfully deployed, beam weapons can end the long reign of nuclear terror introduced by the ballistic missile and its thermonuclear warhead. If the Soviets achieve this capability first, it will give them enormous crucial leverage in imposing their political will on the rest of the world. If the U.S. achieves it first, there will be no need for flimsy SALT agreements, and in a dead heat, the citizens of this planet can look forward to a shifting of international tensions from the strategic nuclear area to more conventional and less devastating weapons.” If you want to know what particle beam weapons are like, just watch “Star Wars” or Battlestar Galactica.” This is the end of the quote from my 1978 newsletter. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, for the rest of the story!
Russia launched the Intercosmos 17 octagon space vehicle on September 26, 1977. The “Encyclopedia Britannica” says its purpose was for “international scientific research in charged particles and micrometeorites.” What, a charged particle satellite? Already in space? What did we just read above? “If the Soviets achieve this capability FIRST, it will give them enormous crucial leverage in imposing their political will on the rest of the world.”
WAR IN SPACE The Battle of the Harvest Moon began on September 17, 1977. Russia began destroying our spy satellites using “killer satellites.” On September 27, Russia destroyed our SECRET MOON BASE. On September 29, 1977, Russia launched the Salyut 6 manned space station into orbit. First, let’s explore a little background. The book “War In Space” by James Canan, 1982, Harper & Row, p. 153 says: “High-energy weapons, their perils and their promise, began penetrating the congressional consciousness in the late seventies, and it was Major General George J. Keegan USAF – ’crazy George’ to his critic, ’brilliant George’ to his admirers – who started it all. Keegan undoubtedly harbored one of the very highest IQs ever to grace the military establishment, which is, stereotypes to the contrary, saying quite a lot.
Keegan was in Air Force intelligence for many years, and in charge of it, starting in 1972, for five… By the mid-seventies, Keegan’s Air Force intelligence empire, as his critics dubbed it, had a population of about 50,000 and was spending nearly $3 billion a year. Keegan had access to HUMINT sources inside Russia and elsewhere, to all the albums of the photorecce satellites and all the tapes of the ELINT satellites.” P. 155: “In 1972, a young civilian scientist in the employ of Air Force intelligence had come to Keegan with ’evidence of a Soviet effort to develop one of the greatest strategic weapons of all time – a beam weapon of great, high energy that would be used to destroy ballistic missiles in flight for the ultimate defense of the Soviet Union.’
Having spent three years studying nuclear physics at the graduate level, Keegan took it upon himself to team up with that young scientist in the examination of evidence gleaned from unclassified Soviet scientific papers. He concluded that the young man was onto something, and he put his troops to work. With Keegan in direct control, an Air Force intelligence team sifted and collated reports from inside Russia and from satellite photographs and communications intercepts concerning a sprawling complex of buildings, pipes, and what-not at Semipalatinsk in south-central Soviet Asia.
What the Soviets had built there – starting with their underground positioning of two huge spheres in the early 1970s – was a facility for the testing of charged-particle beams… a sizable segment of the U.S. scientific community jumped all over Keegan, accusing him of trafficking in paranoia.” P. 157: “In 1974, two years after General Keegan began sounding off in top-secret circles about the Russian work at Semipalatinsk, particle beams came back into vogue at the Pentagon. A Defense Department document described what happened: the Navy initiated its “Chair Heritage’ program involving electron beam development [for] ’application to defense of ships against all forms of attack by aircraft and missiles… The Army also began a separate program to demonstrate the production of high-current ion beams.’
The first Army program, called ’SIPAPU’ (an American Indian word for sacred fire) is controlled by the Ballistic Missile Defense Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and centered at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Chair Heritage, transferred to DARPA control in 1980, is being conducted by the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore…” I trust that some of my readers will take note of that word “Sipapu.”
SECRET PROJECTS Until mid-1979, I worked for Control Data Corporation in Sunnyvale, California, in the “skunk works” division. One of the projects on which I worked was Chair Heritage.
For confirmation for researchers, I will provide the following information: My boss was Phil Myers. Program Managers were, JM Moore (TIGS, IOS projects) Jack Crawford JL Smith CR Shuler LH Woodward WA Osborne and others Some of the projects were code named STC, RFREDA, BRONCO, MARE ISLAND, A4, LATFAC, DALFAC, RKYDSO, etc. It would do you no good to know what these names stood for – TIGS stood for Terminal Integrated Graphics, IOS was Integrated Operating Systems, DALFAC was Dallas Facility, etc. Just suffice to say that we had the world’s most powerful computers (Star 100 which was a Cray computer, etc.) and we were involved in the U.S.’s most secret projects. Our customers included the weather facility at Monterey, CA, (weather satellites do more than observe the weather), Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), NASA, and, oh yes, THE IRS. One of my friends spent all his free time away from the job studying anti-gravity, so it was not too hard to guess what his job concerned.
General Keegan and Carter’s Secretary of Defense Harold Brown did not see eye to eye – could the fact that Brown’s father was a Russian Jew (I forget his real name) have had anything to do with it? As a military officer, Keegan was forbidden to say anything to the public, so in January 1977 Keegan resigned and set up the civilian American Security Council and began traveling over the country giving speeches to try to awaken everybody. He failed.
Keegan died in March, 1993. His obituary in the “New York Times” said, “He asserted that the Soviet Union was building a civil-defense system that would ensure a reasonable rate of survival from nuclear exchange. He also believed that the Russians were close to deploying futuristic charged particle-beam weapons.” The book “Deep Black: Space Espionage and National Security” by William E. Burrows, Random House, a history of spy satellites, has more information on Keegan.
SKYLAB MISSIONS Have you ever REALLY wondered why the U.S. never went to the moon again? Do you remember “Skylab?” The official story is “Skylab” was launched May 14, 1973. It was to be America’s manned space station. On 5/25/73 a Saturn rocket carried the first crew (Conrad, Kerwin & Weitz) to “Skylab,” a mission that lasted nearly a month.
The second crew (Alan Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousma) was launched 7/28/73, a mission that lasted nearly two months. Both missions were plagued by failures, leaks and other problems.
The third manned “Skylab” mission began November 14 with Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Edward Gibson. It was said that the mission was delayed six days because of cracks in the Saturn rocket’s tail fins.
Russia had launched a space station on April 3, but on April 14 it blew up, what was described as a “catastrophic malfunction.”
“BAD LUCK” AT NASA After the amazing successes of the Apollo missions, for some reason NASA started having all kinds of bad luck. “In the U.S. the success of the first flight of the Space Shuttle orbiter was clouded by two catastrophic failures of previously reliable rocket launch vehicles. After preliminary taxi test on the runway and flights mated to its Boeing 747 jet carrier plane, the Shuttle orbiter Enterprise was pronounced ready for release from its mother plane. On August 12, at Edwards Air Force Base in California, astronauts Fred W. Haise, Jr., and C. Gordon Fullerton guided the Enterprise to a ’superslick’ landing on the floor of Rogers Dry Lake 5 minutes and 23 seconds after being released from the 747. A second flight, with astronauts Joe H. Engle and Richard H. Truly, on September 13 was equally successful. Haise and Fullerton put the Enterprise through yet another landing ten days later. An ill omen appeared at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in mid-May, when a small, strap-on solid-propellant booster rocket fell from its bracket on the first stage of a Delta vehicle and damaged it. The booster was being prepared to launch the Orbital Test Satellite for ESA.
The satellite was destroyed on September 13 when its Delta launch vehicle exploded one minute after lift-off, apparently because one of its solid-propellant strap-on rockets detonated. Only 16 days later, a Centaur booster with an Intellsat 4A communications satellite on board also went up in flames only one minute after launch” “Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year,” 1978, p. 638. Friends, it’s time you learned the real story. In October, 1977, a newly operational Russian Cosmos Interceptor shot down “Skylab. Skylab,” along with its crew of five American astronauts secretly aboard, died in a giant fireball over the United States. NASA immediately initiated a prolonged cover-up of what had happened. How do I know? Suffice it to say, I have a very high-up source of information.
END OF PART 1

Go Back

PART 2 NASA wanted everyone to forget about that mysterious headline-making fireball, so they pretended that “Skylab” was still in orbit but sinking unexpectedly. NASA used stories about the Space Shuttle as part of their “Skylab” cover-up. They pretended that perhaps the Shuttle would come along in time to save “Skylab.” This was simply a double lie by NASA. First, “Skylab” could never be saved because it had already been destroyed. Secondly, the United States was in no position at that time to launch the Shuttle or anything else of a military nature into space. Russia was deploying her secret new Space Triad of advanced manned space weapons.
Russian Cosmos Interceptors had starting sweeping the skies clear of American Spy Satellites, and Russian hovering electrogravitic weapons platforms, the Cosmospheres, were making headlines by creating enormous air booms along the coasts of America, and still do so. All of these things took place just as America’s Space Shuttle Program was getting off the ground.
AMERICAN BOLSHEVIKS – MASTERS OF DECEPTION The result was a complete reorganization of the Shuttle Program. The old plans to bathe it in continuous publicity were tossed. The “Bolsheviks” in our government, who had replaced the Rockefeller cartel in many areas of power, cast a net of secrecy over all the new military plans. We were never told about the capabilities of the training Shuttle “Enterprise,” and we were never told about the many things which were going on at White Sands in the military Shuttle Program. By keeping these things secret, the Bolsheviks placed themselves in a powerful position to deceive us and the deceit has continued non-stop.
We were never told about the modified NASA 747 which carried a complete replica of the crew quarters and cargo bay of a Shuttle – and still does. We were unaware that that airplane, originally intended for training, was to become a Bolshevik tool of deception against us. When we saw video tapes of astronauts in the simulated Shuttle cockpit, we naturally thought it was the real thing. Seeing a notebook float in mid-air for a few seconds next to the astronauts, we were supposed to think they were weightless because they were in orbit.
We were given no clue that those moments of weightlessness had taken place months earlier in a mock-up. Further, what would you do if you were an astronaut faced with the fact that Russia has just turned the corner and can destroy your nation with one blast? Do you not think that a good patriot would go along with the game? However, that brings us to a serious problem – perhaps the pictures fooled a lot of Americans and the world – they did not fool the new rulers of Russia. They had learned the previous fall what the flight of the “Columbia” was really all about and, when the “Columbia” was launched on April 12, the Russians were ready and waiting!
LAUNCH OF THE COLUMBIA INTO ODD ORBIT The real mission plan was for a short mission. The astronauts were supposed to get into orbit and deploy the military satellite from the “Columbia’s” cargo bay very quickly; then they were to return to Earth – not aboard the Shuttle but in a very special re-entry capsule. Two days later they were supposed to land the disguised Shuttle “Enterprise” at Edwards Air Force Base as the final act in the falsified drama staged for our benefit.
For the first time in three years the Pentagon was hoping to get a Spy Satellite into orbit that could not be shot down immediately by Russia. This attempt was destined to continue by our nerdniks into disaster after disaster.
You must know what happened in the front end to have any idea what continues. If you can think back to American space launches of the past, some may have noticed something very unusual about the launch of the “Columbia.” In the past, manned space launches from Cape Canaveral were always made toward the southeast, toward the equator, but not so with the “Columbia.” It was launched to the northeast, away from the equator. The reason for this was the secret space reconnaissance mission of the “Columbia.” In its public news releases, NASA told everyone that “Columbia” was launching into a 44-degree orbit – that is, it would never go farther north or south than 44 degrees above and below the equator. But the actual orbit chosen for the “Columbia” was a 69-degree orbit. A 69-degree orbit was chosen because it would take the “Columbia”, and the Spy Satellite inside it, all the way north to the Arctic Circle and beyond. That is the kind of orbit that is necessary if a spy satellite is to fly reconnaissance over Russia.
The northeast launch of the “Columbia” was done in order to enable the Spy Satellite to start gathering data over Russia only minutes after the “Columbia” reached orbit. Time was of the essence in any attempt to spy on Russia. Every American spy satellite launched at Russia during the prior three years had been blinded or shot down before gathering much data.
The secret flight plan for the “Columbia” was completely different from what NASA claimed in public. The plan called for “Columbia” to be launched on an initial northeast course in the general direction of Bermuda, then roughly 2-1/2 minutes after launch, “Columbia” was to begin an unorthodox course change – a wide sweeping turn into the north. This unprecedented curving launch was intended as an evasive sneak past any Russian Cosmospheres that might be waiting overhead. Still accelerating on its curving course, the “Columbia” was supposed to pass about 100 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Roughly 200 miles east of Washington, D.C., the Shuttle’s main engines were to cut off. After coasting in silence for a few seconds, the fuel tank was scheduled to cut loose as the “Columbia” passed 100 miles east of New Jersey. For the next two minutes the Shuttle and its fuel tank were to be coasting onward past the east tip of Long Island, over Boston, and onward toward Maine. During that time the Shuttle was supposed to maneuver away from the fuel tank, using small maneuvering jets. Finally, just as the “Columbia” passed over New Brunswick, Canada, the flight plan called for the orbital maneuvering engines to be fired. Somewhere over the Labrador Sea, flying upside-down, the “Columbia” was scheduled to reach Earth orbit. As soon as it did so, the flight plan called for astronauts Young and Crippen to go to work fast.
COLUMBIA’S SPY MISSION In less than ten minutes time they were supposed to open up the cargo bay doors and turn on the sensors of the Spy Satellite resting inside. As they did these things, the “Columbia” was to be racing over the south tip of Greenland, out over the middle of the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland, above the Arctic Circle, and then dipping back southward toward northern Norway, Finland, and Russia. According to the flight plan, the “Columbia” was scheduled to cross the Russian border just south of the strategic Kola Peninsula. This would be only some less than 23 minutes after lift-off. At that instant initial reconnaissance over Russia was to be under way. The Spy Satellite inside the cargo bay, even though not yet deployed, would have had a perfect view downward through the open doors of the upside-down shuttle.
The “Columbia” was intended to fly over a course across Russia that began just west of the strategic White Sea in extreme Northwestern Russia. From there the planned course of the “Columbia” was to take it southeastward over some 2500 miles of strategic Russian territory. During the first minute alone, the satellite was expected to see parts of the highly sensitive Kola Peninsula, the White Sea, including the super secret submarine yards near Kazan, one of the bases of Russia’s flying ABM system. This system uses charged particle beams carried by supersonic TU-144 Transports.
Toward the end of the first pass over Russia the Spy Satellite was expected to gather data on two more of Russia’s four Cosmodromes – those of Baiokonur and Tyuratam. In between, numerous other war targets were also to come under scrutiny. The spy satellite in the “Columbia’s” cargo bay was expected to see all that during its very first pass over Russian territory. It would all take only 8-1/2 minutes. Then the “Columbia” would have crossed the border with Afghanistan, heading toward India. Barely 10 minutes later, the Spy Satellite was to be radioing its data down to the American receivers at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Now, that WAS the plan. The military planners were confident that their Spy Satellite would get at least this planned first look at Russia. They were sure that “Columbia’s” curving launch and the short time involved would prevent Russia from thwarting the mission. “Columbia” took off from Cape Canaveral at 7:00 A.M. Eastern Time, that Sunday morning. By 7:23 “Columbia” was expected to be over Russia already. By 7:31 “Columbia” was expected to be leaving Russian skies, and by 7:45 that same Sunday morning the military planners expected to have their first reconnaissance data from Russia.
RUSSIANS FOIL PLAN The plan sounded plausible but the ’planners’ were falling victim to the very intelligence gap which they themselves created in America years before. Russian Intelligence agents were able to learn the general outlines of the “Columbia” mission plan some six months prior to launch. It is worse today, for there are more KGB agents in the CIA than there are “loyal” Americans.
Fully a month before the public roll-out of the “Columbia” at the Cape in November of 1980, the Russian Space Command was studying the problem. There was no question about one thing: The “Columbia’s” mission could not be allowed to succeed.
Given even a shred of up-to-date reconnaissance data, the Bolsheviks in America were determined to set off a nuclear war. Even so, there was a question about the best way to spoil the mission. Several possibilities were considered, including sabotage or simply blasting the “Columbia” out of the sky. All were rejected because they shared one weakness. Each alternative would halt one Shuttle mission, but it would not stop the Shuttle Program as a whole, and Russia’s goal was to completely shut down the Space Shuttle Program.
At last they hit upon the solution. What was needed was a Space Age version of the famous U-2 incident of two decades prior. In the waning days of the Eisenhower Administration, Russia had publicly accused the United States of invading its air space with spy flights. That was before the era of Spy Satellites, and invading other countries’ air space was a serious charge in the eyes of the world.
American spokesmen tried to diffuse the growing furor while carefully avoiding a definitive denial of the charges; but the Russians kept it up. Finally President Eisenhower became so exasperated that he flatly denied, in public, that America was flying spy planes over Russia. That was exactly what the Russians were waiting for. The Russians promptly did what American Intelligence specialists thought they could not do – they shot down a high-flying U-2 on a flight over Russia. The name of the CIA pilot, the late Francis Gary Powers, filled the headlines world-wide overnight. The Russians had made a liar of the President of the United States.
A summit had been scheduled between President Eisenhower and Nikita Kruschev, but the Russians icily called it off. In studying the “Columbia” situation, the Russians decided to make the focus of similar nature. After all, all they would need would be to land that Shuttle intact. Russia protested continuously about the military nature of the Shuttle Program, and perceived they would be able to shock the world with the truth of it by simply proving it. They would put the crashed Shuttle on public display together with its nuclear-powered, laser-firing Spy Satellite. The Kremlin liked the plan, and agreed to it. To further emphasize the parallels with the 1960 U-2 incident, Russia had recently proposed a summit with the United States. The plan was to withdraw the summit proposal in protest after shooting down the “Columbia.” The Russian Space Command went to work several months earlier to get ready. They were faced with a big order: to bring down the “Columbia” on Russian Territory without totally destroying it. As recently as only a year prior it would have been totally impossible to even consider such a thing. However, the Russians now had a new space tool to do the job. It was the third version of the Russian levitating weapons platform, the Cosmosphere. They were and are called “Super Heavies” by the Russian Space Command.
“SUPER HEAVIES” MAKE READY The Russian Super Heavy Cosmospheres were still considered experimental in nature but had vast improvements integrated since the early 1980s. Even so, by ’80/81 the Russians had already built seven of them. In terms of volume, they are bigger than the Goodyear Blimp, they are even bigger than the biggest dirigibles (“zeppelins”) of the ’30s. They could carry a payload of more than 50 tons, far more than the Space Shuttle; and they were equipped with powerful electromagnetic propulsion which could take the Cosmosphere all the way to orbital speed. In short, the jumbo Cosmosphere was actually Russia’s Space Shuttle. It was fully operational.
In order to carry out their attack on the Space Shuttle “Columbia,” Russia’s entire fleet of seven jumbo Cosmospheres were made ready. Five were outfitted with special grappling equipment to enable them to seize a very large object in space. The other two were outfitted with neutron particle beam weapons. These weapons were the same type as were used in the “Battle of the Harvest Moon” in September 1977.
“COLUMBIA” BLASTS OFF At 7:00 A.M. Sunday morning, April 12, 1981, the rocket engines of the Space Shuttle “Columbia” roared to life. Moments later the giant solid boosters were fired, and the “Columbia” took off. As it climbed, it rolled around and started leaning into the flight path toward space. As we watched on television, it rapidly dwindled off into the northeast. The solid boosters separated and peeled away to each side. Moments later the “Columbia” vanished from the TV screen.
The television scene then shifted to the alleged Mission Control in Houston – all of this had been set up well in advance. Yes, I know you will find this hard to believe!
The NASA computer-controlled map started tracking the alleged course of the “Columbia.” According to the map, “Columbia” was heading out over the Atlantic toward Bermuda; but at that moment, free of the solid boosters, “Columbia” was already starting its long sweeping curve to the north. One hundred fifty miles east of Charleston, South Carolina, Russia’s fleet of 7 jumbo Cosmospheres were hovering high over the ocean as the Space Shuttle approached on its elaborate curving path, upside-down with the huge fuel tank on top.
COSMOSPHERES INTERCEPT SHUTTLE The two Cosmospheres armed with neutron beams closed in on the “Columbia” from below and a bit to the rear, where they could not be seen by Young or Crippen. The other five jumbo Cosmopheres with their grappling equipment, flew in formation above and well behind the fuel tank to be out of the line of fire. The Cosmopheres pace the Shuttle until it reached a predetermined altitude and speed.
Then the armed Cosmospheres opened up with their neutron beams. Firing at point-blank range, each Cosmosphere fired just two bursts from its beam weapon, “WHOOMP! WHOOMP!” The first salvo flooded the cockpit area and an area near the engines in the rear. Young and Crippen died instantly, the neutron radiation having totally disrupted all activity of their nervous systems, brains, eyes, and hearts.
At the same time the Shuttle’s engines shut down. A fraction of a second later, the second salvo flooded neutron radiation into the nose and an area beneath the cargo bay. These shots were calculated to derange and shut down the “Columbia’s” flight computers – that is, all the computers except one. The Russians wanted the backup computer to take over and do its job – that is, make an emergency automatic re-entry and crash landing in Russia. They anticipated that it would do so because the backup computer is heavily shielded against radiation. The shielding is a material more efficient than lead. It is GOLD!
The Russians fully expected that “Gold Computer,” as it is known in certain circles, would take over after the engines shut down. Within some 10 seconds after the engines shut down, the fuel tank, still a third full, was automatically cast loose. The Gold Computer was now flying the Shuttle. The five jumbo Cosmospheres with grappling equipment, fastened onto the fuel tank. Then using their powerful electromagnetic propulsion, they veered away with the tank. From its northeasterly course, the tank was swerved around over the North Atlantic in a great arc until it was heading southeast instead. The Cosmospheres then accelerated to orbital speed and cast the fuel tank loose. Three years prior to this the First Cosmospheres had send a message by way of enormous air booms along America’s East Coast. Do you remember hearing the discussion on the news about the mysterious “sonic booms” that were being heard along the coast? Now Russia’s newest Cosmospheres were using the Shuttle fuel tank to send a chilling new message to America’s Bolshevik war planners.
Meanwhile the armed Cosmospheres followed the “Columbia” itself. Having had its engines shut down prematurely, the “Columbia” was well below orbital speed. It was following a ballistic path, just like an ICBM, into the heart of Russia. It looked as though the Russian plan was going to work to perfection – but then the unexpected happened.
A NO-WIN SITUATION One of “Columbia’s” deranged computers apparently began to function. The brief shut-down had thrown it out of synchronization with the Gold Computer, so the two computers apparently did not communicate with one another. As the “Columbia” passed over the border of Russia, it was flying right-side-up instead of upside-down under control of the Gold Computer.
But the other computer opened up the cargo bay doors right on schedule. As the Shuttle began to re-enter over Russia, hot air flooded the cargo bay. Heat sensors in the Spy Satellite detected the heat build-up, which was programmed into the Satellite’s computer as a sign of “attack damage.” Finally, the temperature built up to a critical point, activating a self-destruct circuit in the Satellite. The Spy Satellite exploded, blowing the “Columbia” to bits.
The Russians had hoped for a crash landing in recognizable form. Instead, the “Columbia” ended up in wreckage strewn along a line some 85 miles long in central Russia southeast of the City of Kazan and the citizens had to be told a research satellite had fallen out of orbit. As it turned out, neither the American Bolsheviks nor the Russians got what they wanted. But there were destined to be more attempts, each just as foolish as the one before it.

PART 3 On November 24, 1980, America’s Manned Space Program suddenly started showing signs of life after near death. It was the day when the Space Shuttle “Columbia” was rolled out into public view at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was the first public appearance by the Shuttle in almost two years. The Shuttle arrived at Cape Canaveral two years prior, in March of 1979.
From then until November of 1980 the Shuttle “Columbia” remained in hiding in a very large metal cocoon called the “Orbiter Processing Facility,” but on November 24 suddenly the cocoon opened up and out popped the Space Shuttle.
It was not a very long trip set for that day – about 300 yards to the nearby Vehicle Assembly Building, where it disappeared once again as if by magic. For the first time in nearly six years the United States was committing itself in public to manned missions into space. The roll-out of the “Columbia” took almost everyone by surprise.
America’s Space Shuttle Program was a full three years behind schedule. Since late in 1977 we heard about nothing but problems, delays, and more problems with the Space Shuttle. In fact, just five days before, Dr. George Low, former director of the “Apollo” Moon Program, summarized it all in total disgust when he said, “Today I wonder whether we could start another “Apollo,” much less accomplish it.” The “Apollo” moon landing program was another program filled with lies, smoke and mirrors, but I will save that story for some other time. For now, the centerfold of “Spotlight” newspaper for September 5, 1994, will give you some hint of the lies involved.
POST-LUNAR “QUARANTINE” FARCE Another recent source of information on this subject was an article called “The Great Lunar Quarantine” in “Air & Space” magazine for February/March 1994. If you remember, when the moon-landing astronauts came back they had to be quarantined for three weeks. Thinking minds questioned the reasons for this.
On page 39, the article states: “The problem was that [the quarantine] was all show,” says Gerald Wasserburg, John D. MacArthur professor of geology and geophysics at the California Institute of Technology, who is still fuming 25 years later. “It really didn’t prevent contamination. The people from Fort Detrick [the Army’s biological warfare facility], who really knew how to contain pathogens, though it was ludicrous. It was all part of a fraud, but it couldn’t be stopped because it was coming from such a high political level. Do you suppose there was some other reason for the debriefing, er, quarantining?” SPACE SHUTTLE COUNTDOWN TO NUCLEAR WAR After three years on hold, the countdown was under way. There was a total air of urgency about it. Corners were being cut, safety precautions were being overstepped, unheard of risks were being taken; and when reporters asked why these things were being done, they received only double talk instead of answers.
The Space Shuttle was the most complex American spacecraft built to that point. There were more things to go wrong than ever before, and the entire future of America’s Manned Space Program depended on the shuttle. In fact, we were told that within a few years the Shuttle would be launching practically all American satellites.
As far as we were told, America had put all its eggs in one basket. The old NASA would have proceeded step by step with the greatest of care. Every manned spacecraft had made its first trip or two into space without astronauts to insure no loss of life in case of problems.
INVISIBLE FACTIONS AT WAR In 1981 things were done in a very strange manner indeed. The facts were, our American Bolsheviks were getting ready for nuclear war, and a wartime rush mentality dominated. They wanted to take out the Russians before they got any stronger. It was a case of certain Russian and American forces at war with other Russian and American forces! The very first Shuttle was to be manned and was to go all the way into high orbit. There was no regard for the safety of the astronauts; however, we did not know that they had been training in the “Enterprise.” Remember the “Enterprise?” Whatever happened to it, do you know? I was telling people at that time that something fishy was going on.
For all intents and purposes, the new rocket engines of the Space Shuttle were radically untested, as far as anyone was aware. There were three main engines called SSMEs by NASA. Those engines had never flown into space prior to that time; in fact, they had never so much as been fired all together until just eight days prior to the flight.
On that day, the three engines were fired for only 20 seconds on the pad at the Cape. NASA did not run the risk of running them longer even though those engines were supposed to be reusable, launch after launch. Instead, based on a mere twenty-second test, NASA would have two astronauts risk their lives on the engines and, in the actual launch into space, the engines would have to operate full-bore for a minimum of nine minutes.
NASA knowingly gambled that the three fresh engines on “Columbia” would last long enough to get into orbit. The engines were only one example of NASA’s unexplained haste because if “Columbia” didn’t reach orbit, the next question was: Could it return? NASA didn’t have the foggiest notion.
The recent launching of the Hubble telescope smacks of the same subterfuge for the “duplicate” scope which was launched was truly another attempt to fool the Russians and again the attempt was total disaster as only an evil empire can create.
HUMPTY-DUMPTY TILES In 1980 the new Thermo Protection Systems was radically new. All of the previous spacecraft had “heat shields” which carried away heat by burning away during re-entry, therefore they could be used only once. But the Shuttle was supposed to be reusable over and over, so it required a different kind of shield. They developed a lightweight ceramic, broken up into more than 30,000 small pieces called “tiles.” Strange thing, they said a “few” fell off each time but not to worry, it was OK. How could it be OK? The heat would have burned a hole where the tile was missing. I remember they said they could not fly the “Enterprise” because they “forgot” to put heat shields on it, then the “Enterprise” just sort of faded from the picture. Then the “Columbia” flew with heat shields dropping off of it? Remember? Did you notice? Did you smell a rat? I did!
For at least two years before the original launch we had been hearing tales about problems with tiles. It began when the Shuttle “Columbia” arrived at Cape Canaveral in March of 1979 on the back of a jumbo jet. Many tiles had been lost or damaged during the flight and the “Columbia” looked like it had smallpox – and that was just from riding piggyback in the atmosphere.
GROUNDED BY THE BEAR The tile controversy made a perfect cover story to explain away the 3-year grounding of the Space Shuttle. The real reason was that America had been locked out of military space missions since late 1977. In August of 1977 the first pre-flight tests of the Space Shuttle took place. A Shuttle was carried aloft aboard a jumbo jet and cut loose and guided to a landing by the astronauts. It seemed that the age of the space shuttle was about to dawn.
RUSSIAN COSMONAUTS IN SPACE Russia’s space program seemed completely silent. What we didn’t know was that Russia had been deploying her secret particle beam weapons in space, and on September 17, 1977, Russia started smashing our spy satellites in what was called the Battle of the Harvest Moon. They launched their “Salyut-6” Space Station into orbit on September 29, 1977, and thus began a steady stream of Russian cosmonauts back and forth into space. They even took cosmonauts from at least seven other countries including Cuba and Vietnam into space with them, while we just wrung our hands.
RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIKS FLOCK TO AMERICA The Bolsheviks had been kicked out of power in Russia, and the American Bolsheviks had been waiting long and watching for a moment of weakness among their enemies – the secret new rulers of Russia. The Bolsheviks wanted desperately to regain their former positions of power in Russia; but for years, Russia’s new rulers had been expelling the Bolsheviks, who then flocked mostly to the United States.
The Bolsheviks had originally been put into power in Russia by the Rockefeller Cartel in November 1917. They were called Communists but were merely sadistic dictators and later had been kicked out of the Kremlin. By the last half of 1980, they began to regain power in Russia so the decision was made to go ahead with the space shuttle mission.
A top secret American spy satellite had been developed by the National Reconnaissance Office, a secret project that Control Date worked on (I did the paperwork for the people who programmed the satellite computer).
OVERT FIRST-STRIKE BY U.S. – ALMOST Russia destroyed an American spy satellite on September 20, 1977, and a week later put our secret Moon Base out of action. Seven months later, Russia finished destroying all our spy and early warning satellites. Since then, we have tried several times to deploy spy satellites to get targeting information to launch a nuclear war, a war we have come very close to starting several times. All we found out was the Russia had moved the targets around and we dared not launch (although some wanted to anyway).
BOLSHEVIKS PLAN NUCLEAR FIRST STRIKE AGAINST RUSSIA Yes, there was a full-blown plan for the U.S. to launch a first-strike nuclear war against Russia. The nuclear first strike against Russia relied heavily on missiles, including America’s secret Minuteman TX mobile missile (not the MX that the media talked about), but it could not succeed without up-to-date information on the targets in Russia. The American Bolsheviks were doing all they could to get us into a nuclear war, while they had survival shelters for themselves (but not the rest of us!). Russia had and has extensive survival shelters, working civil defense plans, and great storage facilities full of wheat, corn, oats and other supplies we gave to them (we “sold” the supplies to them, knowing they would not pay us back).
U.S. CITIZENRY TOTALLY EXPENDABLE In the book “Deep Black: Space Espionage and National Security” General George Keegan tells of the Russian civil defense shelters. He found that every factory in Russia had a shelter. The city of Moscow had 75 underground command post/shelters, each one the size of the Pentagon. Yes, that’s what he said. They were each covered with 100 feet of reinforced concrete and four hundred feet of dirt. He said they were each 2 or 3 times as strong as Hoover Dam.
Every military city in Russia and most other cities had them. Keegan said that it would take five hundred billion dollars to build just one. I typed that right, billion with a “B,” read it again. He said they were “plush,” they even had railroad trains going into them. They have shelters along the road from the airport into downtown Moscow.
Russia is fully committed if necessary to fighting a nuclear war and surviving. The United States, however, has no civil defense system at all – except for a very exclusive system for the Elite. Our program was officially called MAD, “Mutually Assured Destruction.” However, we would have been the only ones destroyed. If you had 20 minutes warning that hydrogen bombs were about to be dropped all across America, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I know what many of you will say. “I don’t worry about it, whatever is God’s will, will be.” That type of brainwashing has gotten us into this mess. God’s will, is for us to have free will. If you want to step in front of a railroad train, God will let you. He will not stop you! And if you do nothing about the mess you/we are in, God will let you die! If the Russians want to attack this country, or if we want to attack them, God will allow it – He allows free will to all sides!
The American Bolsheviks were doing all they could to get set for nuclear war, so they were desperate for new, up-to-date reconnaissance data from Russia. Russia knew this, that is why they finished perfecting a survival plan. We, however, were totally expendable, then and now. We filled their silos with survival supplies and emptied ours.
The elite Bolsheviks had, by this time, developed a satellite which they believed could survive in orbit for a while if they launched it in secret and took devious routes of flight.
