'Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations... It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts.'
Secretary of Defense William Cohen, April 1997
That was an interesting quote. Thanks for reminding me of it.
When it comes to stuff like this, I try to remain open to admitting that it might be a possibility, but I also try to remember that the trouser snakes at the Pentagon would absolutely
love it if folks really thought they possessed the power to summon storms, unleash earthquakes — and whole host of various and sundry shit-storms that further enhance their worldwide street cred. ('Cause, you know, the guys at the Pentagon used to be the locker-room liars in high school who continually bragged about and/or exaggerated their latest — and sometimes non-existent — sexual conquests.)
This is one more reason I also remain (highly) skeptical of tales about crashed "alien" saucers — 'cause the U.S. military would love to imagine itself as even "badder" than it already is, with purported extraterrestrial technology at its disposal.
(And of course it helps make up for all the girls those once and future generals
said they scored with, but knew they really didn't.)
