The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Me: Gen. VanHerck said NORAD tracked the balloon as it "approached Alaska. It was my assessment that this balloon did not present a physical military threat to North America...


bighairymake: Of course, he would have to say that.

How could the general possibly know the payload was not a simple compressed canister of the latest virus cooked up in the Wuhan Lab waiting on a radio command or arrival at a preset GPS position to release the aerosol as it drifted along.



The balloon was 10-12 miles above the Earth. Aerosol dispersed "as it drifted along" would have dissipated harmlessly. Besides, why did the Chinese need to do that when they had already conspired with Dr. Fauci to microchip the majority of the U.S. population and were just waiting for the signal to activate those chips and take control of all of us?
