The Search for Secret Shuttle Parts
Slashdot readers have been submitting this story about the search
for secret shuttle parts with all sorts of insane conspiracy theories attached to their cut & paste of the URL. It's apparently just the box that handled encryption for messages, so of course Uncle Sam wants it back. Quite the needle in a haystack tho.
i got a shuttle part right here in my pants, why dont you come look for it!
This is not the first post. Read on.
When I was a young boy during the 60's and early 70's, America held in high esteem men such as Ed White, Neil Armstrong, Jim Lovell, Gus Grissom, Buzz Aldrin and many other brave men.
They fed the imagination of little boys throughout this great land of ours and planted the seeds of a "can do" attitude. They were held in reverence, in that place reserved only for Firemen, Policemen and Soldiers - role models, hero's, Americans!
Many the hours were spent by thousands of little boys gazing up at the heavens - hoping, praying, and straining as hard as our little eyes could to imagine that we saw the rocket ship so high above our nation. Many the hours were spent day-dreaming about making the impossible - possible! And many the days were spent waiting with vigorous glee the anticipation of watching the nightly news that evening with our fathers on all three TV channels the splashdown.
OH yes - splashdown - that celebrated time when the heroes returned home from the heavens. When the frogmen would jump from their helicopter and swim to the capsule to bring home those brave men. Afterwards - many hours spent pretending that we - the little boys of America were - those Astronauts, loosing ourselves with the help of Frogman G. I. Joe and Astronaut G. I. Joe and his space capsule.
"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", oh those words. The words that still live with so many of us today, the words that put us ahead of the Communist and made sitting under our desk during a "duck and cover" drill at school, a little more tolerable - a well deserved treat. America, 50 individual states, united in a common cause - FREEDOM! And our freedom now extended to the moon. America was proud! Those days of innocence have long since passed. Those little boys have long since grown up and started families of their own.
And now - as father's, we sit in front of the TV with 900 stations and explain to our sons and daughters the tragedy that has occurred as did our parents in 1967 when Grissom, White and Chaffee died on Apollo 1. But I believe the American dream has never diminished. The pride that I feel for our country is stronger now today, than it was Friday, January 31, and even stronger than it was on September 8, 2001. The fabric of our Flag is still tightly woven and the colors shone bright for the whole world to see.
Godspeed Rick Husband, William McCool, Laurel Clark, Kalpana Chawla, Michael Anderson, David Brown & Ilan Ramon. You dared to dream and you reached the stars, now - seven knew stars shine bright in the heavens at night.
Don't fool yourself into thinking you know what's going on in this world. The first duty of power is to perpetuate itself, and we don't even know who the actual powerful people are. Truman started the whole American tradition of secrecy after WWII with Project Paperclip, in which the CIA put captured Nazi scientists to work on America's nuclear arsenal, the space program, and all this "otherworldly" technology they'd come across. (And you know what I mean.) Then they got Truman to create the super-secret Majestic 12 committee to oversee Project Paperclip, not to mention other weird stuff the government wanted hidden. They ran the whole thing, and they've been running it for years, but nobody knows who "they" are. But I'm pretty sure they're all Freemasons.The whole Kennedy thing is so huge because it's at the center of so many other covert shadow-government operations. Kennedy himself was the smallest part of it, because it was actually a power play between Dulles' CIA, the anti-Castro military, LBJ, the Giancana Mafia, and a bunch of other dirty players. Oswald was a patsy, sure, but he put a gun on Jack. Of course, so did other test-mules from Dulles' MK-Ultra LSD-mind-control experiments. Zapruder was in on it, too: He was a KGB mole from way back. And the whole thing had ripple effects, like Jonestown, which was an assassin training camp that got found out. As for the Warren Commission, that thing was a joke--Dulles himself was on it, and there was only one person on the whole commission who wasn't on the CIA payroll and suspected Oswald didn't act alone. He died in a plane crash, after a young congressional aide named Bill Clinton drove him to the airport. It's all true, but nobody wants to admit it. Nobody.Now, Roswell, that's a bunch of crap. The Air Force was in possession of captured alien technology years before that. In '43, they started reverse-engineering a torus-shaped craft that came down in Arizona, and the next thing you know, America has The Bomb, supersonic aircraft, and a space program. Glenn saw stuff up there, flying lights. You can look it up. You know what I think? I think that skirt-chaser Kennedy wanted to spill the beans about our alien friends, so they killed him. He told his girlfriend Marilyn Monroe, and they killed her, too. No doubt, you're wondering, "Who are 'they'?" Well, I think the numbers speak for themselves: The Trinity site, where the first A-bomb was detonated, Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy bought the farm, and Area 51 are all on the 33rd parallel. And what other significance does the number 33 happen to have? It's the highest rank of the Masonic order. Wheels within wheels, my friend. Wheels within wheels.
Only joking.

Of course they cheat you, they shit you.
You think they're running this thinggy up there for *you*? They only want *you* for the army. Or, for paying your taxes.
Serious, what I don't like in the article is this ugly 'conspiration theory' stuff. Of course, Columbia came down for very normal reasons: negligence, faulty engineering, you name it.
You're not sufficient stupid to believe they don't run extra&secret stuff parallel to the scientific stuff, are you !?

Apparently they only want their encryption back. Commander Taco, sure you know what you're saying here? No dupe, but did you read the links of earlier and the outdated equipment? You don't really think that a 8"x8"x8" box (or whatsoever) contains an encryption algorithm worth this fuss?? "if you had kept your mouth shut, we might have considered you a knowledgeable man", as the Greek proverb goes. Or doesn't it ?
My theory is that the astronauts are still alive, after having undergone massive radiation by 'cosmic rays', and they will reveal themselves to the world in a few months as the US government's personal superfero team. That;s why they don't want you looking around for parts - They are hiding the results of this genetic experiment!!!! YMMV, that's why I'm posting as AC!! Latest post, beeeyaatch!!!!
