If the Russians and the Chinese were to pivot to space and concentrate on developing Nuclear Thermal Rocket (NTR) heavy lift capability, that will spell the end for US global hegemony. It will also usher in an age of practically infinite energy. The days of the petroleum oligarchs will be over. Develop the thorium breeder fuel cycle build nuclear power plants all over the world put the oil companies out of business.
The purpose of this blog is to document America's nuclear aero-space program being run out of AREA-51 using open sources. It has been said that 90% of intelligence analysis uses open sources. The preponderance of the evidence shows that the American Military runs part of their Black Space Program out of AREA-51 utilizing nuclear powered propulsion.

THE PETRODOLLAR DRIVES US RULING CLASS IMPERIALISM
If you are not talking about the politics of oil and the petrodollar, you are not talking about geopolitics. Petrodollar protection explains all of America's moves post Cold War. The US Ruling Class have to control the price of oil in order to sustain oil and gas production at home (i.e. maintain profitability) and to control world trade. The US Ruling Class have forced the World to pay for oil in dollars. This drives the demand for dollars. This inflates the value of the dollar. It creates an identity. The dollar is oil. If you don't have dollars, you cannot buy oil. The end of the petrodollar spells the demise of America's unipolar moment. The multipolar age is here.
GOLDILOCKS OIL
The US Ruling Class needs to keep the price of oil in a Goldilocks range. It cannot be too cheap nor can it be too expensive. If it is too cheap then US domestic producers cannot compete. They go out of business. If it is too expensive, then US consumers & businesses cannot afford it. This drives inflation & slows economic growth. If high prices last long enough it could even potentially lead to the development of serious fuel alternatives. This has happened to a degree with rise of electric cars.
Ask yourself this question - would American oil be profitable, if Iran, Iraq, Libya & Venezuela were not sidelined by sanctions and producing at full capacity? US shale oil production could not survive in a true free market world. That's why the US Ruling Class (who are heavily invested in petroleum) use their military to regulate the world oil market. Biden's cabinet choices shows this to be the case. Look at the choice of Blinken as Secretary of State read his book ALLY VERSUS ALLY. This proxy war is all about saving the US petroleum industry. They were going bankrupt prior to Covid which exacerbated the crisis. Then the whole industry collapsed when the Russians and Saudis dropped the price of oil. The Ukraine War has made shale oil and gas profitable once again. It has saved the bacon of America's Petroleum Oligarchs.
In the 1970's the US declared "We control the oil." |

HYBRID WORLD WAR 3
We are in a hybrid WW3 for control of world energy resources i.e. the war to destroy the petrodollar. It started as a response to US sanctions on Nord Stream 2 in November 2019 with the release of Covid-19. The pandemic decreased demand for oil then the so called Saudi-Russian price war drove down the price of oil to 30 dollars per barrel. This killed the US fracking market. They had to be bailed out by the US taxpayer. Then things got hot. The Russians responded to US provocations in Ukraine and intervened. I think the war will end up in a Black Ops nuclear terrorist phase. The Russian nuclear weapons GRU Colonel Stanislav Lunev said were cached inside CONUS will be used again as they were used on 911.
Western Ukraine is going to be a tough nut to crack. It will be used as a base of terrorist operations - aka special operations - inside mother Russia. The Russians are not likely going to tolerate another Chechen style US Special Ops led campaign that targets maternity wards and elementary schools. The whole thing could spin out of control into a nuclear terrorist war. A war where Special Forces of the US/NATO and RU, sheep dipped as "terrorists" blow up the city centers of the industrialized world.
The timing of the problems with Starlink were timed to coincide with American nuclear exercises. Reports of Russian jamming of US doomsday bands go back to early April. Ham Radio Operators reported it.
"A look at the U.S. Air Force’s High Frequency Global Communication System. What are Emergency Action Messages. Also the question has Russia been trying to jam these radio frequency ? EAMs can be heard on these shortwave frequencies 4724khz, 6739khz, 8992khz, 11175khz, 13200khz, and 15016khz."

THE US SAUDI SQUEEZE
The US has been squeezing Saudi Arabia for decades falsely accusing them of being the perpetrators of 911. The Saudis are not the culprits. The Russians are. 911 was the response to numerous American provocations inside Russia during the 1990's. The US tried to break Russia up with a proxy terrorist campaign inside Russia ie Chechnya, it crashed the Ruble, US economic warfare shock therapy killed millions of Russians, the USS Memphis and Toledo sank Kursk. I think MBS knows this. Because the Saudis were the cutout for US support of Islamic Radicalism inside Russia in the 90's.
Well,
the Russians have been patient. It looks like they have flipped Saudi Arabia to
a degree.

Air Force One Guidance Systems Allegedly Sent to Russia
All thanks to Paco for sending me this link. It is more evidence for the thesis that Air Force One was under threat of being electronically hijacked on 911. The threat "Angel is next," can only mean the next plane to be hijacked. The four airliners were electronically hijacked. The precision strike on the NOC/DIA offices at the Pentagon show that to be the case. During the 1990's Boeing began collaborating with the Russians. They built a center in Moscow. Honeywell contracted with AVIPRIBOR allowing them to make avionics components. Russia also bought Boeing airliners for its state airline. Many Russian computer programmers had made their way to the USA to work. The Russians were in a great position to re-engineer Boeing equipment and put malicious code in avionics systems.

Air Force One Guidance Systems Allegedly Sent to Russia
Northrop Grumman to pay $15M for alleged 1998 export of navigation system code.
ByJason Ryan
Share
April 18, 2008— -- State Department investigators found that a subsidiary of a major defense contractor provided portions of the computer source code of Air Force One to a company in Russia in 1998, according to a little-noticed consent agreement reached earlier this month.
The documents, filed by the State Department, noted that the alleged violation by a subsidiary of defense contractor Northrop Grumman "resulted in harm to the U.S. national security."
Specifically, the source code involved the inertial navigation software systems that are unique to the presidential aircraft.
The violations were allegedly committed by Litton Industries, which Northrop Grumman bought in 2001. Northrop has agreed to pay a $15 million fine for 110 violations of the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
The proposed charging document from the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls released on April 2, noted, "Between September 1998 and November 1998, Respondent provided portions of the source code related to the LTN-92 INS modified for use on Air Force One to a company in Russia without authorization from the Department."
Northrop Grumman's Web site offers a description of the system, saying, "The LTN-92 uses three-ring laser gyros, force rebalanced accelerometers, and three high-speed digital microprocessors to provide an advanced technology, all-attitude, worldwide navigation system offering up to five times the reliability of mechanical inertial navigation systems."
The charging letters note that the guidance and navigation system interface "with other cockpit devices utilized on Air Force One and certain source code unique to Air Force One. ... The United States Government has never authorized the export of this critical source code, even to our closest allies.
"This unauthorized export resulted in Russia obtaining knowledge in developing critical INS software that is specifically unique to Air Force One," the document noted.
In addition, the documents filed by the State Department say that between 1994 and 2003, the firms failed to notify the State Department about the computer guidance systems also being transferred to Angola, Indonesia, Israel, China, Ukraine and Yemen.
Northrop Grumman released a statement to ABC News noting that the majority of the violations happened before the company acquired Litton Industries, and that upon the discovery of the exports the company "immediately investigated the matter and submitted voluntary self-disclosures beginning in 2004" to the State Department. The statement added that the company "fully cooperated in the subsequent review" by the government.
According to a spokesman for the firm, Northrop will be implementing internal oversight and compliance as part of the consent agreement as well as paying the $15 million fine.
In a related matter Friday, Honeywell disclosed in Securities Exchange Commission filings that last month, the firm was contacted by the State Department about its export of similar navigation systems.
The document filed with the SEC noted, "In March 2008, the U.S. Department of State advised Honeywell that it is reviewing Honeywell's compliance with applicable U.S. export controls in connection with the Company's export of its GG1320 gyros and related inertial navigation systems under State and Commerce Department licenses. Honeywell is cooperating with the State Department's review."

ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
Hello Mr. Holloway, I have recently read your blog and find
it to be quite interesting. I had few questions which are stuck in my mind:
1.Who were creators of ISIS? Cause these folks have killed both US and Russian
troops. 2. If US does have technologies like ANP, Starlink, etc., do you see
them defeating China+Russia Axis if next war happens? 3. How do you see
position of India? Cause they are at the moment friendly to both, US as well as
Russia. They are moving towards US but also refusing to name and shame Russia.
4.Do you see China attaining technological edge over US in upcoming decades?
5.You said that the US empire's end is at the horizon. Then what would happen
to the elites? What would happen to their techs? Regards.
1. I don’t know who created ISIS. I do think that
the Islamic Fundamentalist movement has been taken over by intelligence
agencies. The first Islamic Fundamentalist attack of note took place on the Riyadh
TV station. The fundamentalists objected to television on the grounds that it violated
Koranic Law on graven images. They since have done a complete 180 degree turn on TV.
Bin Laden was not camera shy. I think US actions since 1990 in the Middle
East and Africa were taken to bolster the petrodollar, remove former Soviet clients
from the board and the personal self-enrichment of the American Ruling Class. The
“war on terrorism” was a cover for a war on Russia’s global influence. These
actions illustrate the corrupt nature of the American Ruling Class. The
Bush Family made a fortune in the petroleum industry. Dick Cheney also made a
fortune in the petroleum industry. Using the American military to line your own
pockets is as corrupt as it gets.
2.
It is possible. If there was ever a time to use
them in a pre-emptive war, the current crisis with China and Russia would be
ideal. The revelation of US space-based weaponry would be destabilizing. After committing
the greatest genocide in human history the USA will go down in history as the
most ruthless empire of all time. No one will care about the Nazis anymore. The
US preemptive attack will reveal to the world they are in violation of the treaty
banning space based weaponry. If the US has a fleet of Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO)
Space Shuttle bombers it would violate the spirit of the treaty but not the
letter of the law. These space bombers (depending on how good US maps are)
could probably take out the bunkers the Chinese and Russians are likely to be
hiding inside of. (The bunkers can be seen supposedly using Muon Tomography.) The
Russians and the Chinese definitely know about the US military space program.
They have countermeasures. Even if the US were to use these weapons and “win.”
(“Win” is defined as US command and control survives and the enemy's does not.)
It is likely to be a pyrrhic victory. I doubt the oligarchs want to live in a hollowed-out
mountain, moon, or Mars colony for the rest of their lives.
3.
If I were the dictator of India or any nation,
among other things I would nationalize the energy sector and build the nuclear
energy infrastructure needed to be energy independent. That would blunt the impact
or potential impact of the Petrodollar or the coming Petroruble. Use that cheap
gas to enrich uranium and make fuel for reactors. Build breeder reactors to
make the most of India’s uranium reserves. I think that India is going with
Russia. They are part of BRICS and have long been a buyer of Russian/Soviet
military hardware.
4. China already produces more patents than the
USA. They are 20 years ahead of the USA in hypersonic wind tunnel technology. They
can assemble a carrier in a year. They have an industrial base 3x greater than
the USA. Their Belt and Road Initiative nullifies American sea power. The USN
cannot blockade the Belt and Road Initiative. Only time will tell if China becomes
a global hegemon. So far though it looks like they really do want to help other
countries by developing them.
US industrialists moved their manufacturing to China. They did not think they
owed their fellow Americans a job. They wanted to discipline the American
working class. And make more money.
5.
I think that the USA is in for some rough times.
There is a real bourgeois schism taking place along culture war lines. But,
that is likely to be overwhelmed by a legitimacy crisis and the coming economic
crisis. All the problems that were just kicked down the road for the last 50
years are coming to roost all at the same time. It could playout like the 1930’s
with an increase in Social Democracy or it could go full fascist. The
Republicans have put together the infrastructure to overturn presidential
elections on the state level if they don’t like the outcome. If and when they
use that power to install a fascist dictator all hell is going to break loose. The
Republicans wanted and supported fascism in the 1930’s. They tried to overthrow Roosevelt in a failed conspiracy known as the ¨Business Plot.¨ They wanted to install General Smedley Butler as dictator of the USA. I think that is what
they will try to do to solve the crisis and it will fail. They are going to
have to deal with civil unrest that has never been seen in the USA. The USA is
already one of the most repressive regimes on Earth. People are atomized living
in car dependent suburbs. We have the largest prison population and a militarized
police force. The current institutions having lost all legitimacy are going to
have a hard time keeping a lid on things. There is a real possibility that an
IRA style insurgency kicks off in the cities. The Ruling Class in the USA is
fucked. They believe their own propaganda about capitalism being the greatest
system ever. They hate the idea of the government being used to help the
working class. They hate the idea of economic planning. The person who has a plan is
going to do better than the person who doesn’t. The same thing goes for nations.
The US is going to have to make some real changes if it wants to remain relevant
in the coming decades.

THE END OF THE US EMPIRE IS ON THE HORIZON.
As the US empire crumbles the Ruling Class will become more and more repressive. The US has become a militarized police state with the worlds largest prison population. The coming depression will exacerbate the social tensions in American Society. No one knows what will spark the coming civil unrest. But, it will happen. The days of US gunboat diplomacy are numbered. With the advent of China's Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles (ASBM) the days of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) are numbered. The proliferation of these weapons systems will end US adventurism in South America and around the globe.

THE HUMAN PILOT IMPOSSIBILITY OF FLIGHT 77'S PRECISION STRIKE ON THE DIA/NOC OFFICES AT THE PENTAGON
In the first version (1) of the Flight 77 story (there are two stories) the pilot flying Visual Flight Rules (VFR) makes the turn and then straightens out at approximately 7000 feet or 2133 meters distance from the Pentagon. If he wants to take out the NOC/DIA offices, the 5 meter wide fuselage of the plane has to be stuffed through the 6 meter wide windows of rooms 1E462 and 1E466. From 2133 meters the perceived size of the window 0.16 degrees. If he is traveling at Mach 1 the pilot only has 6 seconds to lock on to the windows. Windows that he cannot see. If the pilot was travelling at Mach 2 he only has 3 seconds to put the fuselage through the windows and he has to be accurate to 0.16 of a degree. The strike on the Pentagon was a precision hit and humanly impossible. The planes were electronically hijacked. In the same way Navy ships were hijacked during the ELIGIBLE RECEIVER EXERCISES OF 1997.
For those who say that an airliner cannot travel over Mach 1. This is not case. The DC-8 broke the speed of sound on 21 August 1961 [4]. It did so by putting the plane into dive. Eyewitness Rick Renzi near the Pentagon saw Flight 77 in a steep dive, "creaming in at a dive bomb angle." This is normally an angle between 45 and 60 degrees; but can be as steep as 80 degrees [6]. Because of the speed and maneuvers of Flight 77 the Air Traffic Controllers thought that the plane was a military jet. The supposed hijacker "Hani Hanjour" who was "known for his incompetence [5]." Hanjour was not qualified to pilot an airliner. He did not have the skills to pilot the airliner like military jet. So, the eyewitness testimony, precision, and destructive power of the attack show that Flight 77 was travelling well over Mach 1. The G Force on the pilot would have knocked him out. There is no way Flight 77 was piloted by a human being.

O'Brien, Danielle
At the Dulles tower, O'Brien saw the TV pictures from New York and headed back to her post to help other planes quickly land.
"We started moving the planes as quickly as we could," she says. "Then I noticed the aircraft. It was an unidentified plane to the southwest of Dulles, moving at a very high rate of speed . . . I had literally a blip and nothing more."
O'Brien asked the controller sitting next to her, Tom Howell, if he saw it too.
"I said, `Oh my God, it looks like he's headed to the White House,'" recalls Howell. "I was yelling . . . `We've got a target headed right for the White House!'"
At a speed of about 500 miles an hour, the plane was headed straight for what is known as P-56, protected air space 56, which covers the White House and the Capitol.
"The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane," says O'Brien. "You don't fly a 757 in that manner. It's unsafe."
The plane was between 12 and 14 miles away, says O'Brien, "and it was just a countdown. Ten miles west. Nine miles west . . . Our supervisor picked up our line to the White House and started relaying to them the information, [that] we have an unidentified very fast-moving aircraft inbound toward your vicinity, 8 miles west."
Vice President Cheney was rushed to a special basement bunker. White House staff members were told to run away from the building.
"And it went six, five, four. And I had it in my mouth to say, three, and all of a sudden the plane turned away. In the room, it was almost a sense of relief. This must be a fighter. This must be one of our guys sent in, scrambled to patrol our capital, and to protect our president, and we sat back in our chairs and breathed for just a second," says O'Brien.
But the plane continued to turn right until it had made a 360-degree maneuver.
"We lost radar contact with that aircraft. And we waited. And we waited. And your heart is just beating out of your chest waiting to hear what's happened," says O'Brien. "And then the Washington National [Airport] controllers came over our speakers in our room and said, `Dulles, hold all of our inbound traffic. The Pentagon's been hit.'"

MOSKVA IS ANOTHER KURSK INCIDENT
We have been following the news of the 14 April 2022 Moskva sinking. On this date for years to come the USN will have to look over their shoulder. This whole story is looking like another Kursk incident. The sinking happened days after the announcement that the UK had gave Ukraine Harpoon missiles. Although the strike reportedly utilized indigenously produced Neptune missiles. This was the cover story.
- There are conflicting stories about the remainder of the crew. In one of the stories around 100 sailors attended at meeting and the captain was not there.
- The Russians filed a diplomatic complaint following the incident and the story about the P8 Poseidon and a submarine sinking the Moskva in combined arms attack began to circulate.
- We believe that the diplomatic complaint contained intelligence proving the P8 and submarine scenario.
- This is another Kursk incident. We think despite the nuclear saber rattling. Neither RUS or USA want a nuclear war. And just like one swallow doesn't make the summer. The Russians are going to temporarily look the other way until they can avenge the Moskva at a time and place of their choosing.
- The attacks on the USS Cole 12 October 2000 and the precision hit on Navy Operations Center on 11 September 2001 were both Russian attacks on US Naval assets avenging the torpedoing of Kursk by the USS Memphis and USS Toledo.
- Other nations could employ the same gambit. China has developed a ballistic anti-ship missile that can sink USN carriers. Iran is developing an anti-ship missile. If hostilities erupt between the USA/China & Russia. It will create a power vacuum that regional actors could take advantage of with a war between Iran and Israel breaking out. A USN show of force in the region could lead the sinking of US vessels.

DOES TOM MALZBENDER'S IMAGING TECHNIQUE HAVE ASW OR SPY SATELLITE APPLICATIONS?
Scientists unlock mysteries of world's oldest 'computer'
- Published
Does Tom Malzbender's imaging technique - that allows scientists to view the underlying brush strokes on a painting, have ASW or spy satellite applications? Satellites could use this technique to see under the oceans surface and image things on land. Is Starlink capable of being used for this?
As shown here he has 50 multiple light sources flashing arrayed in a hemisphere the camera then captures the image revealing things that cannot normally be seen. Satellites could be arrayed in the same manner to do the same thing using different parts of the EM spectrum like RADAR or Infrared.
When one looks at the shape of the Iridium constellation. It has the same shape as the light sources used in Tom Malzbender's system. The radio waves of these systems can penetrate sea water and reveal where submarines are.

THE USA GAMBLES ON WINNING WW3 TO MAINTAIN GLOBAL HEGEMONY
The CIA Left Ray McGovern, Chris Hedges, Paul Jay et al messaging on NATO expansion and the Ukrainian War frames the cause of the Ukrainian crisis as economic not political. They want people to think it is all about the US Military Industrial Complex expanding into the Eastern European market. When the reality is the USA wants to conquer Russia and partition it out of existence. NATO expansion is an existential crisis for Russia. But the war is also existential for the USA. China is superseding the USA with its Belt and Road Initiative. Its overland railroad and highway infrastructure largely nullifies the influence of American sea power. The noted Professor Alfred McCoy says in ten years the Chinese economy with currently three times the industrial base, will be at least 1.5 times larger than America's. And they will no longer need the US market. China with the world’s largest ship manufacturing industry is also building their Navy. In the span of a year, they have nearly finished their first super carrier and are beginning construction on their first nuclear powered carrier. The Chinese navy will rival America’s navy. So, if the US Ruling Class wants to remain the World Hegemon, they have to roll the dice on WW3 and come out on top.
