@BigSkyRider yeah it was your post that showed me this laser and then after listening Eric Hecker I found a country wide weather report that was pretty interesting and explained a bit about the inordinate amount of rain I've been seeing lately. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Oca-qcU5zoQ
@Hyolobrika@BigSkyRider yeah. so have the conspiracy theorists about weather manipulation :shrug:
I'm also not saying they are related, just interesting. I think that weather manipulation does happen. Even if you only accept cloud seeding and not other kinds of atmospheric manipulation it is a real, documented, and I assume profitable technology.
I made a post a while back, half in jest asking what if WWIII is fought with weather manipulation and psyops. It's only half in jest.
@BigSkyRider@Hyolobrika it could be data or just energy. I remember a while back hearing about (on msm) a plan to beam solar energy from the moon to earth using lasers. My kid was still young enough to want to sit with his old man's arm around him and he's an adult now so at least over a decade at this point.
@thatguyoverthere@Hyolobrika Assuming we're not on a flatearth, the direction of that laser isn't going to work for data transmission to the moon, the recipient endpoint would be directly over the solar pole, else retransmission station positioned there. Maybe satellites (I wonder the data throughput potential, seems substantial?).
@BigSkyRider@Hyolobrika I think the moon plan relied on multiple geostationary satellites to relay or something. It was a long time ago and I think it was a plan of the CCP not ours. I mention it just because energy transmission via lasers seems like a potential use case. Where they might be sending/receiving from I couldn't speculate on.
I mean, it says right on the original page linked that "The South Pole is a unique research site that supports projects ranging from cosmic observations to seismic and atmospheric studies" so it seems pretty likely that it's cosmological (or atmospheric) research of some kind.
@BigSkyRider yeah it would require coordination and potential exposure for sure. I'm not opposed to the idea that directed energy weapons exist and are in use. I guess it seems easier to speculate on the motivation of 100 environmentalists or something than to imagine a way technology like that could be used and not create tension between neighbors.
@thatguyoverthere Consider the operational logistics of what you describe.
I estimate in the first second of the video that I see 20+ fires starting at the same time spread across a geographic area. If radio's, then we're talking either HF or retransmitted VHF.
If there was broadcasted radio coordination, that was recorded somewhere by someone and I expect we'll eventually get the broadcasts.
how many people would you run per fire? I would think 2 - 4 man teams. Possible.
@thatguyoverthere compare the cost/effort of running 20+ operational teams spread across a large geographic area (all possible), vs space laser. One of those two operations has considerably better OpSec than the other.
two weeks ago I was only considering the idea of boots on the ground fire starting. this week I still don't know wtf happened and I'm thinking about space lasers.
@thatguyoverthere regarding the tension between neighbors, people do strange shit when they're in an HOA. We just watched neighbor states all agree to poison their populations with biological human experiments.
The only way a USG space laser in Antartica could be used to start fires in Quebec, and not start a war between the two nations is if Canada was in on it.... or in the boots on the ground fire starting scenario, then it has to be Canada in it (at some upper/hidden level).
