Some bloody madman is out there attacking people with a banana!
Man arrested for using banana as bludgeon against convenience store clerk

Ouch. 

So I guess now he is playing a new game called ''staying alive'' in the hospital?

What in the hell is going on in his rabid-ass mind?

Not me per se, but my cat apparently saw ghosts again.

She was sleeping on my bed, woke up, slinked off the bed then sat a few feet away staring at it for a few straight minutes. Then she rapidly turned her had towards the door and stared at that, then slinked into the hallway and stared at the kitchen for some time, then returned to the bedroom and kept staring at the bed. A few times she circled it, on high alert, but kept returning to her spot and just staring.

Very spoopy. Sadly, I'm utterly ghost-blind and couldn't communicate with whatever was hanging around.

The internet is cool.

Well, we have to assume that he hasn't got much clue about what he's telling. Which leaves the audience plenty of room for wild speculations. Which I gather is the idea. So lets:

What if it was Reagan, not Carter, that revealed the first stealth plane, recognized as such?

What if stealth had actually been accidentally discovered, known and developed by USAF since immediately after WW2? Even if deployed extremely sparingly, in order to not tip off the Soviets?

What if the "energy source" actually was a battery? A bulky but light battery, that was able to soak up and store very strong and short bursts of energy, just like a capacitor, but able to store the energy permanently, like a battery. And that the "blowing up", actually was a tendency to catch fire, when you tried to discharge the battery too fast? And the "organic matter" wasn't any sentient awareness or such SF, but plant cells, utilized as very small structures inside the battery?

And what if all these ideas really do come from Universities? Which are greedy to receive money from DARPA? As well as paving the way for their students into the defense industry?

All of it just wild speculations, of course.

 

"Richard D. Fisher Jr, a Senior Fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center".  -Oooo, sounds important. 🙄  "International", wow, "Senior Fellow", wow. 🥱

The current Chinese administration are bad guys, don't doubt that. But electromagnetic beam weapons have limited range because of divergence. I cannot imagine there is anything they can shoot from as far away as the Moon  . Also, 2,5 tons of fuel is not much energy.

I think the next story will be "China plotting to build Dr Evil style lunar lair".  IDK maybe some people are recycling some old Bond movie plots.
