Global Intel Hub — Seeing how Elon is again in a tweet drama over his ‘absurd’ suggestion that we may avert war with peace (oh the drama!) we wanted to elaborate on the crown jewels of the US system – SpaceX. Elon’s posturing before WW3 breaks out is appropriate for his position as CEO and founder of the company that will ‘win’ the war for the US, should it come to that, as well as rebuild the economy from devastated areas. 3 years from now, it cannot be said that he was beating the war drums like most of the establishment, which is good for his street cred because he personally and SpaceX have the most to gain from WW3 (Elon Musk is the near 50% owner of SpaceX). Perhaps that is part of what is driving his rational, balanced, anti-war rhetoric. Perhaps that’s also driving his purchase of Twitter, which would be a handy tool to own during wartime. Many don’t realize how Google, Facebook, and others are not only cooperating with the US Military Industrial Complex, they were founded, seed funded, and nurtured by organizations such as the CIA, InQTel (The VC of the CIA) – that means that Silicon Valley is part of the Defense industry. Google executives such as Eric Schmidt are first on the ground in hot spots like Yemen, during the Arab spring, and have developed programs to shift public opinion (manipulate democracy in favor of US allies).
If war breaks out between the US, China, and Russia – there are several weak points where Russia and China have advanced beyond the US in asymmetric warfare, non-lethal but devastating weapons like EMP bombs, which could wipe out any electronics in a 100 mile radius but not hurt any human or animal, defensive weapons that can out maneuver US capabilities, and other interesting areas such as Hypersonics – where the US clearly is lacking. But there is one place where the US has a huge, multi-generational, gaping advantage: Space. Space is managed by Space Force, a seed investor in SpaceX (according to Crunchbase).
The US Military is outsourced to private defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and SpaceX. The dominating factor in Space, is SpaceX. SpaceX is not commonly thought of as a defense contractor, although they generate more money from the US Military than any other single client (NASA, by the way, is part of the US Military – it is not a civilian agency).
The head of the Space Force acknowledged that the U.S. is developing the “appropriate” directed-energy systems to maintain American space superiority, although he declined to provide details in the unclassified setting of a June 16 congressional hearing. Noting that directed-energy systems could be a possible defensive tool for American satellites, Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., asked Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond whether the United States was adequately developing a directed energy portfolio “to be an effective capability for space dominance.” “Yes sir, we are,” Raymond responded, suggesting that they discuss the issue in more detail in a classified setting. “We have to be able to protect these capabilities that we rely so heavily on.” In a statement to C4ISRNET, a Space Force spokesperson said, “General Raymond has stated many times that China and Russia have directed energy capabilities that are designed to damage or destroy our satellites. His response to Congressman James Langevin’s question was confirming that our architecture developments in the face of these threats are appropriate.” The Missile Defense Agency has explored using space-based lasers to intercept ballistic missiles in the past, and other nations have fielded ground-based laser dazzling weapons that can blind on orbit sensors. However, the Space Force has been effectively mum on what weapon systems — conventional or directed energy — it is developing to protect its satellites or defeat enemy satellites. Raymond’s acknowledgement at the hearing might be the first time he’s publicly confirmed the directed energy systems are under development.
Translation of Military PR language to English: “Is developing” means “Has been using for a long time” when something hits the press, you can bet it’s useless. Stealth technology was built in the late 1960s and deployed in the 1970s, but you didn’t hear about it until the 1990s. Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) of all kinds, including lasers, 5g, Microwave, tectonic weapons, and others – are not the latest most up to date weapons either. The tools that give the Space Force and the US the real edge in Space, are of course, top secret. If the US is involved with a real war, with a real adversary like Russia – the US will use all means necessary to protect itself.
In fact, we haven’t seen a real war since World War 2, and how technology has changed.
SpaceX remains the only thing stopping billions of Chinese and Indians from simply occupying our homes in California.
As Americans try out the newest Starlink dishes on their R.V.s, a space expert says Elon Musk’s Starlink makes the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “nervous” as the “only” player in the field now when it comes to the U.S.’s strategic space race with China.
“It is important to understand that Elon Musk’s SpaceX company is the only thing keeping the U.S. in the Space Race with China,” Brandon Weichert, space expert and author of “Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower,” told The Epoch Times in an interview in late-May.

The expert says Starlink, now “possibly a vital component of war-making,” is making America’s rivals “nervous,” yet Elon Musk is under a two-fold “attack” by the White House and the military establishment.
Starlink, a satellite internet constellation operated by Musk’s spacecraft company SpaceX, currently consists of over 2,400 satellites that orbit the earth at an altitude more than 60 times lower than the satellites that carry most of the world’s internet today.
