Interesting to note another poster mentioned Mortal Engines. Great book, great series.
America needs to stop being World Police. I noticed some one used the phrase “If we try to leave you alone then you bitch and complain about us”. LOL?
Fuck off, sort out your economy, your education system, and come back when you have a culture.
If you guys really wanted Osama, you’d have put troops on the ground to start off with.
And do you guys seriously think GWB has anything to do with it? He couldn’t string a bloody speech together, let alone mastermind the events of the past few years.
Insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq are not conventional armies. You do not have a set amount, killing them one by one does not reduce their number. You need to think of something else.

The fact that you claim “the plane that hit the pentagon on 9/11 disappeared” proves that you are a Idiot, so when you call someone stupid it really has no weight behind it.

The description of this thing is total crap. The guy is just using complicated sounding terminology so people with think he knows what he is talking about. Particle beam weapons dont work at atmospheric pressure, they are subject to streaming instabilities etc. not to mention for a relativistic beam of electrons trying to propagate with the earths magnetic field you have a larmor radius of about 60 meters so the particles would just go in a circle and come back an hit the hummer.

Americans are not Evil at all. GWB made terrible mistakes but it is 2 late 2 leave Iraq now if we do the Mock-government we set up there will collapse in a few months and turn Iraq into Anarchy. So yes Iraq WAr bad Idea, leaving now, worse idea.
9/11 a setup, I doubt it.
GWB was elected because he uses alot of Propaganda, like saying WEapons of Mass destruction, Terrorist, and saying that he defends people and stuff. It is propaganda. simply it makes people trust him and follow him.

Also American may be the strongest nation in the World, but if things here keep going as they have been I guarantee we will collapse in a matter of decades, not because of Invasion or terrorists but because of Internal problems. The United States Economy is failing, Crime in the United States is among the Highest in the World.
Our Justice system sucks, we let too much get by and punishments are not severe enough to make anyone fear punishment. Plus with Gangs growing eventually they will begin to take a stronger seat in our government, maybe even getting political offices.
So I would be willing to put money on the fact that within 100 years the Great United States wont be anything like it is today, Politically,Socially,Economically or Militaristically.

and about this Medusa bs, thats exactly what it is: BS!
The Idea is interesting but it needs some Modifications to the Theory.

From what I can see none of you really have a firm grip on reality. To speculate on things like 9/11 being a conspiracy and the governments intentions in the middle east without haveing actually been there and without having any reliable inside knowledge as to what actually happened or what the “real” reason for the war in Iraq is, is just that SPECULATION. We could argue about who believes what all day but the fact of the matter is that we just dont know all the details because we as American citizens allow our government too much control. Has anyone stoped to think that this country was founded on the basis of minimal government a place where individuals can make a life for themselves as they choose. Not a place where everyone is entitled to healthcare or retirement. A place for people with drive and initiative to create there own destiny and not have to rely on a central government.
As for “Reader’s”, you sound like an educated individual but just a bit on the sceptic’s side you might consider the grey. Not everything operates in black and white and science does’nt have an explaination for everything in this quantum world we live in. All I am trying to say is that the truth lies in balance not all facts not all fiction, but the proper balance of both.

Thank you finally someone is speaking sensibly! Its amazing to me how I hear this constant “Oh the evil Americans are trying to take over everything!” bullshit. If we try to leave you alone then you bitch and complain about us if we try to help then we are trying to take over, essentially we are only evil until you need us right? Oh and the cowardly crack? That idiotic bullshit is barely worth a response but just cause Im in a good mood I will, cowardly is not removing a dictator from power, cowardly is flying planes into buildings and murdering innocent civilians. The simple damn truth is that if America wanted middle eastern Oil or just to take over in general we wouldn’t bother to hide it, we would just take what we wanted with little to no effort at all. If the entirety of the Middle East allied and threw all of its millitary might against us we would still swat them within a month maximum.

Largest amount of civilian killings per year is the US army? Damn that blunt your puffing on must be some good shit my friend for you to hallucinate facts like that. Try again the largest number of civilian killings per year from a nation come from China then the Middle East. Jesus H Christ the US are terrorists trying to swallow up the world now? Get your facts straight kid if you are going to make a dumb-fuck claim like that then at least get your facts straight, as I said before if we wanted the world we would have it and only China and Russia are even close to a real threat to that. I have to wrap this up so im just going to take a wild guess and say your french and less than 20 years old because if you are of a legal age in your country which Im still positive is France then you honestly need to kill yourself just so you don’t infect the gene-pool anymore than it already is over there. So to sum up I would like to state for the record that I am a US soldier and I would like to officially say fuck you to FromEU from Fort Bragg

That’s BS. The military is not to blame, its the GWB administration. The only reason that idiot got elected is that no one good ever runs. The other representative was even worse. 9/11 a setup? Yeah right. No one would kill thousands for a setup. America an empire? Other nations are just as bad. The U.K., France, Japan, India, etc. all have nukes too. Besides, the world was happy that the Americans had nukes to end WWII and stop the Soviets from blasting us into oblivion. As for Al Qaeda, they’ve killed and terrorized enough people for the U.S. to want to do something about it. Bush might have made some dumb mistakes, but don’t blame a whole country for it.

LOL this evil empire of America is trying take over the Earth. I find the American militaristic behaviour and focus on new weapons of mass killing disgusting. Thank god this particular weapon would not work in real life. But the mere idea….

What is it you americans want? Swallow up the whole world? Who is threatening you? You possess the largest military might in the world, the so-called Al-Qaida is a tiny worm compared to you…..

Who is responsible for the largest amount of killings of civilians in the world every year? The U.S. army. The numbers speak for itself. To stop terrorism would be to stop the U.S. army who is killing ten thousands of people every year with their cowardly high-tech weapons. Most of the daily kills in Iraq are made U.S. troops, not the insurgents. Tons of airbombs are dropped on Iraqis every day.

PS: Everybody knows 9/11 was a setup. Everyone can see all the floors collapsing SIMULTANEOUSLY which is only possible using demolition explosives. How dumb can one be LOL

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- Dr. Arthur C. Clark

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
- Albert Einstein

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a person does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses their intelligence.
- Albert Einstein

Today’s science fiction is often tomorrow’s science fact.
- Dr. Stephen Hawking

Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgment upon anything new.
- Galileo

Thank God,,,, none of the looney toons like “Reader’s” pooh poohing this technology are scientist or mankind is DEAD !

The plane that hit the Pentagon disappeared? What? You could see parts of the plane sticking out of the building wreckage in the video after it hit. They found seats with body parts still strapped into them deep inside the building. They found the engine parts inside the building. There was a pile of debris outside the building. The plane disappeared? How did they find the black boxes (data and voice both) if it ‘disappeared’?

You cannot accelerate physical electrons to near light speed. Radio waves propagate at near light speed, but the electrons themselves do not. That is why they can predict solar storms in advance of their occurrence. The image of the solar disturbance reaches the earth long before the stream of high energy particles. Klystrons are not exotic parts. They have been used in radio transmission forever.

Bermuda Triangle? Myth. The area gets bad storms and has some strong ocean currents. So some ships and planes got stuck in bad weather over the years. People take that and create wild stories.

Sorry guys, but it’s a total bullcrap what ypu write here. I didn’t even had to read the whole article to understand it. First, electrons can not be accelerated to the speed of light, that’s just impossible. Second, this animation with hummers destroying tanks is bullcrap too. Do you know, how much energy do you need to actually destroy something with an electron beam?! A generator coupled to a diesel engine won’t be enough for it.
