One of the consequences of this is the inability to see incoming killer asteroids (not that we can do anything about them.) We also lost the Arecibo dish which was tracking incoming asteroids as well.

Another consequence is the loss of a clear, unblemished night sky for those who enjoy star watching, and photographing the same. There are so many Starlink satellites now that they routinely sully the view of the night sky, as one can clearly see them cross their view at specific intervals.

There is also the fact there are are now so many objects in low earth orbit that someone with intent to destroy could much more easily bring about the Kessler Syndrome, thereby rendering all modern tech reliant on satellites (GPS, TV, internet, military and intelligence comm and spy tech, etc.) void. This would also make the safe launching of space craft beyond earths atmosphere exceedingly difficult, if not impossible.

Not that I believe for a minute we will ever make it off the planet to colonize and settle elsewhere – be it Mars or someplace further afield – but we may have inadvertently built the prison bars that would ultimately prevent us from doing so, even if there were a viable path to such an endeavor.

Someday soon God will cause a large super flare and take down all those toys of men during the great wrath.

What are they afraid of? I mean, the worshippers of Satan who rule the financial system?

Currently, our military is in the Baltic Sea along the coast of Russia, running an ‘offensive operation’ of war games with all of NATO. Does President Trump know?

All of them are used to spy on you or get you to agree to something that sacrifices your constitutional rights. They should all be banned as unconstitutional.

My experience with LEO satellites is they are an expensive nightmare to maintain. Their low orbit is prone to decay and keeping them aligned is difficult. I was part of the beta testing of the Globalstar LEO satellite system in the late 1990s. The system was awesome, super clear, and worked well but was too ahead of its time. The tech bubbles and the companies lack of vision to bring them to market and keep them there was too common.

I haven’t kept up with the new systems like Skylink. I applaud Musk if he can keep Starlink going with its planned 12000 satellites in orbit. I’m sure the globalist bankers and gooberment will pour money into it if it aids them in keeping an electronic leash on all of us. Its been over 25 years since I was neck deep into cutting edge tech. You may not realize but there is so much cool tech stuff way ahead of its time shelved if the bottom line doesn’t pan out or the control agenda is not possible.

I miss the next level stuff but there is a dark side, mainly from the globalist types turning tech into surveillance and control. What we have out there today are shells of what is possible. Such of waste. This is why I avoid most tech crap these days because they just aren’t secure.

I have to admit, I have mixed feelings! I live out in the country in part b/c I like the stars at night… and that also creates a situation where I am a starlink customer as well (theres only 1 wire coming down the poles on my road, and it ain’t broadband cable).. Yes, this year I have seen a ‘launch’ gaggle of dots cross my sky, and there is a constant stream of traffic across this one spot… that my antenna seems to be pointing towards. Sigh.
