Space-Based Laser "Conspiracy". Or Not?

There's more to it than we would wish.

With the Northern Hemisphere’s pandemic of forest fires this summer, many started raising the possibility of “space-based directed energy weapons” being used by unspecified nefarious forces for… many things, actually.

“Space lasers, boat burnings and elite land grabs: How the Maui wildfires became fodder for conspiracy theorists” (Independent, 2023.08.17):

When Joe Biden announced the federal government’s latest aid package to families left homeless by the Maui wildfires on Monday, a seemingly innocuous turn of phrase sent conspiracists into meltdown. “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors,” the president wrote, apparently unaware of the bogus claims circulating on social media of space lasers being used to deliberately start the wildfires that swept through Maui on 8 August.

This Independent’s article does a good job explaining how all of the photos and videos purportedly documenting such “laser-focused” weapons are all forgeries and it’s just another conspiracy theory.

Well, if it’s a conspiracy theory, we better listen up as we know that all other conspiracy theories came true since 2020. So much so that we’ve started running out of good conspiracy theories. I admit that I feel a bit embarrassed myself for stooping so low, but what the heck! Let’s have a crack at it, shall we?

Let’s start with a motive. Every premeditated crime needs a good motive, and so would be committing arsons on the ground all over the place (Greece, Canada, Hawaii immediately jump to mind). Who would do such preposterous thing and why?

Actually, we have a few good candidates. The most obvious one: the UN Chief Antonio Gutteres that tries to scare us into submission to the Climate Change harsh measures, or else the sky will fall tomorrow. No, it just did yesterday!

So, if he, or whatever powers are behind him, could, would they gently prod us in the right direction by burning everything around us, just to prove this point? I, for one, have no doubt about it. They are trying so hard for so long, so this would be one more baby step for them.

Or how about the nefarious forces behind the whole Covid virus/jab affair? If they could pull off that, lighting up a few fires here and there seems to be a walk in the park for them, comparatively speaking. As they control all the alphabet soups you’d ever eat, they can control the tools that would accomplish the task.

But do “they” have the tools, a.k.a. space-based directed power weapons, at their disposal? I was kind of surprised to learn that yes, the tools should have been there for some time, if one wanted to use them in “creative” ways:

• First of all, the concept of such “tools” was under serious consideration all the way back in 1982, as the US Government Accountability Office documents: “The United States is pursuing directed-energy weapon technologies involving devices for generating and controlling laser, particle, and microwave beams which may revolutionize military strategy, tactics, and doctrine. Laser-weapon technology is the best understood and most mature of the three types of directed-energy weapon technologies. The Department of Defense (DOD) has been developing technology to demonstrate the feasibility of high-energy, laser-weapon systems for various tactical and strategic missions. One widely discussed laser-weapon concept involves a constellation of laser-weapon platforms in space which has the potential to provide a credible air and ballistic missile defense system for the United States. Due to recent interest by Congress and DOD, GAO reviewed the existing Space-Based Laser (SBL) program and assessed program progress, potential, and current management structure.’

• More recently, the hard work came to fruition in 2017 as “US Army gets world record-setting 60-kW laser” (DefenseNews, 2017.03.16): “The U.S. Army is taking delivery of a 60 kilowatt-class laser from Lockheed Martin as the company wraps up demonstrations of the capability. "In testing earlier this month, the Lockheed Martin laser produced a single beam of 58kW, representing a world record for a laser of this type," the company said in a statement Thursday. Now that the laser is in Army hands, Radiance Technologies, which has been working on Boeing's High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) program since 2012 will conduct laboratory testing of the new laser. Once the laser is integrated onto the Army's Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck, or HEMTT, that becomes the High Energy Laser Mobile Test Truck. Radiance will coordinate all testing of the laser against targets. The HEMTT is the largest vehicle in the Army inventory and previously a 10-kW laser was tested on the platform.”

  

• In 2018, the DefenseNews article “Space-based laser weapons could ultimately take out missile threats in boost phase” (DefenseNews, 2018.08.14) says that “the Pentagon was eyeing space-based laser weapons technology as the ultimate solution to defeat a missile threat in its boost phase of flight, but the Defense Department is not yet at a point where it has determined the best possible solution. "If you deploy a space-based interceptor constellation, which is something we’ve studied in excess of 30 years, I think the effectivity is beyond doubt, it’s not technically hard to do,” he said. But “it does represent a substantial policy shift. It’s a new cost not presently in the budget, but we can do it, yeah, easy problem."”

• Next, 2021 should have seen the lasers fitted onto airplanes. “Coming in 2021: A laser weapon for fighter jets” (DefenseNews, 2017.11.07): “WASHINGTON — Lockheed Martin will create a high-powered laser for the U.S. Air Force that will be demonstrated on a fighter jet in 2021. The company was recently awarded a $26.3 million contract to design and build a fiber laser as part of an Air Force Research Laboratory program called Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator, or SHiELD. That laser will be integrated with two other main subsystems: a pod that will power and cool the laser and a beam-control system, which will direct the laser onto the target.

  If successful, the technology could be a game-changer. The Air Force has long desired an airborne laser so that it can take out surface-to-air and air-to-air missile threats more cheaply than current intercept methods.” We’ve missed that last development as we were arguing about the effectiveness of ear loop masks at the time.

  

To boot, the US military long appreciated the power of forest fires:

And just as the US military advised, or course the BC forests are being sprayed with glyphosate — so it burns brighter?

Conclusion. As “they” were able to jab 6 billion people around the world with an extremely harmful genetic “therapy” against the virus they created and released to justify the “cure”, and as Europe (population of about 500 million) has been made to take, “voluntarily”, a path back into the stone age by 2050 (European Green Deal of 2019), same forces may as well start remotely a few fires here and there to scare the global masses into the “Climate Change” “action”. As “they” say, “Lessons Learned from "Covid Pandemic" will be Applied for "Climate Change"”. And the biggest lesson “they” learned from the “Covid Pandemic” is that the populations at hand will do anything they are told when sufficiently spooked. Unless said populations smarten up fast. What are the chances?
