this video sounds cool

quote:

The US military is in possession of a video of a UFO apparently disabling a nuclear warhead during a routine test, according to multiple former officials.

They claim the video in question captured a saucer-shaped craft circling the unarmed, dummy warhead shortly after it detached from the Atlas missile booster, then shooting four beams of light at the warhead, disabling it.

i wonder if there's enough ufos to shut down all the nukes, hiding behind the moon or whatever. there's something like 12k warheads but they're largely on MIRV setups so there are 8+ warheads on a single missile, so maybe 2 or 4 thousand total icbms as a guess. that would require a pretty robust ufo fleet.

If a ufo could travel faster than light would there need to be more than one?

it would but theres other ways to disable fission. a nuclear reaction is a very fragile thing. maybe theres a sort of panic button that does something not really noticble but which will mean any attempt will fail. a few more or less electrons in the air. slightly different charges and mixes of chemicals in the air. kind of like an artficial cloud or storm that wont allow unnatural nuclear reactions.

well I don't know how the anti-warhead lasers work, but if it took long enough to disable the 1964 warhead that they got a detailed video of the ufo, i think they'd need more than 1 ufo to get em all. icbms are only in space for a brief part of their journey. but who knows, maybe the aliens have improved their peace lasers since then

I've no idea either but it was just something i thought of when reading your post! Assuming ftl travel means you can get from point a to b instantaneously but your laser takes 3 seconds to disable a missile, how many missiles could be destroyed if there was a MAD exchange. I suppose if ufos are also able to traverse time then it'd only need one ufo but I'm pretty tired now to think about it all.

Speaking of those advertisements.

Perhaps I cannot connect to my Deity partner today to turn this anger into usable energy because They are already putting Their full attention on protecting and comforting the people who are having atrocities committed upon them. If that is the case that is great, that is ideal.

Yeah this genocide of ours (I’m American) is very depressing- I got a steel amulet of Abu Obaida from Jordan- and have been keeping it in my pocket when I say my prayers. There’s not much locally I can do, there isn’t even a mosque to bring food or something to show support within a few hours of me. Anyway, the final drawing in my current series is drawn as a kind of spell to wish Hamas luck in their struggle for self-determination against the same general fuckers who have their boot on my neck.

I began with a tarot draw- 10 of swords, ace of wands, six of wands, and finally justice. In the center is a glass pyramid with the seed of a new world being incubated in the wastes of the old. It’s not done yet but I wanted to reply to you

Klingon w Bowl Cut posted:

I'm glad you brought this up because my deities (some of whom are stars or similar) actually had a lot to say about this when I did a reading on Sunday. I hadn't done a divination rite since the Death tarot card one in this thread. This time I incorporated even more steps into the ritual, including more handwashing and not eating meat beforehand, and there was a commensurate increase in power as I breathed the incense and rolled the dice. The first card I rolled to draw was actually Death again. But as I sat with that, I categorically rejected going down the same old paths as last time. I demanded a reroll from the cosmos, and my higher powers granted me one. This time I got 18- The Moon, which often signifies confusion, being lost in the night. But I took the reroll situation to mean I should read this draw differently than normal, maybe reversed. And some of the reversed meanings of The Moon I found stuck out to me.

"In the dark of night, you are taking a path you are unsure of, for there could be danger lurking in its depths. The moon's light can bring you clarity and understanding, and you should allow your intuition to guide you through the darkness."

"The forces that are bringing you confusion are starting to dissipate. You have started managing your fears and anxiety. Whatever negative energies you have been facing are slowly fading away. It presents a liberating experience as you discover the positive side of things."

My Zen book roll was a 6, leading me to page 186, an author's note about the experience of enlightenment in the Zen tradition:

To die completely and then come back to life. A new phase of the moon. Liberation. There is a version of a vow of the bodhisattvas that I've seen translated like this:

Liberation is coming I feel, for us and for them. I hope this gift from the realms beyond helps.

thank you bird and klingon for articulating what i have been feeling as a weird dull haze lately. seen lots of gross religious opinions in too many places. trying to do productive work has been a mess i keep screwing up simple tasks, having trouble getting some food plants started for summer. have been trying to do wild yeast bread starters and have been failing since december, i'll get bubbles for two or three refreshes and then it just stops growing. i read you have to keep stirring it every day even when it looks like it failed and i think that is finally working. went outside and saw the first leaves of jute plants starting and it gave me some small feeling of hope trying to send out positive vibes from them.
