x-51a waverider test flight

x-51a waverider test flightA test of X-51A set to achieve hypersonic flight today, dropped from under the wing of a B-52, reports Universe Today. You can view the previous May 26, 2010 flight on You Tube, where the X-plane performed for 200 seconds. X-planes are designed to be dropped from under a wing of a B-52. Test fights conducted over the Pacific Ocean take off primarily from Edwards AFB in California. A nice history of the X-Plane program is available on NASA website.

A description of hypersonic plane is provided by US Air Force website:
"...flight test vehicle stack is approximately 25 feet long and includes a modified solid rocket booster from an Army Tactical Missile, a connecting interstage, and the X-51A cruiser... cruiser is designed to ride its own shockwave, thus the nickname, Waverider...distinctive, shark-nosed cruiser... houses the heart of the system, an SJY61 supersonic combustion ramjet or scramjet engine built by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne designed to burn JP-7 jet fuel. Boeing's Phantom Works performed overall air vehicle design, assembly and testing for the X-51's various component systems."
A booster allows X-51A to reach sufficient speed, where scramjet engine can fire and ride the wave. It's compared to lighting a match in a hurricane and keeping it lit!

A glimpse of intended use for X-51A is clearly stated in this space.com article, "'we could have in the future such things as hypersonic weapons that fly 600 nautical miles in 10 minutes,' said Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager with the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, during a June 1[2010] teleconference. [Most destructive space weapon concepts.]" I feel safer with the knowledge that military can deliver payloads anywhere on planet in just hours! I suspect former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who placed programs under Air Force auspices, is smiling!

we're ripe for a false flag event

we're ripe for a false flag eventZen Gardner, at Before It's News, believes circumstances are set for a false flag event, in other words, "we're ripe". Gardner sees, as an ominous sign, Geraldo Rivera's recent reconsideration of Building 7's collapse as questionable. "This may seem like a drop in the bucket to some, but when he confesses he wouldn't listen to anything before and shouted down challengers to the canned govt explanation, and then says he's now open to the subject, that's significant. Something's up." Gardner compares it to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's press conference on Sept. 10th, 2001 about the missing billions from the Pentagon budget.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, a powerful oligarch, may have revealed the roadmap in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting on Feb. 7, 2007: "then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a 'defensive' U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan". Gardner believes so and makes an even stronger case by noting the larger framework, where the world government agenda is stepped up, the plug continues to be pulled on the world economy and restricting world food supplies. We're ripe!
