The New Rottie Defense System to Defeat the Balloon Threat

12 February 2023 by Larry Johnson 92 Comments

Why does the United States continue to use a $150 million jet, plus other million dollar military assets to take out balloons and other unidentified flying objects when I have a solution that, on an annual basis, costs less than $2000.

It is deadly and effective. Here it is.

My boy and girl immediately recognize the balloon threat. So not only do you get an early warning system but you also get a deadly, effective attack. As a patriot, I offer my Rottie Defense system to the Biden Administration for no charge other than daily food and vet care.

      Yes, you will need to do a lot of PowerPoint Presentations and rename all dog-related materials. Dog dishes are AntiBalloon Attack Survival Systems. Leashes Are AntiBalloon Attack Control Systems. You will need to fund for training — not the dogs — but YOU and your friend. That requires a lot of beer.

      The United States of Delusion is getting worse and worse. As Larry says, the government and its agencies are a clownshow. Now they the clowns have balloons.

      And from Russophobia and Sinophobia we have gone to Globophobia (balloon phobia).

      Larry’s piece inspired me to write my own on Substack (crediting him).

      https://julianmacfarlane.substack.com/p/the-war-on-balloons

      Then Moon of Alabama published a detailed and scientific analysis which suggests the the balloons shot down over Alaska and the Yukon at a cost of over $1 million were US balloons! 70% probability.

    Does anyone know how many actual Russian Army troops are currently involved in Ukraine?

    Is it still 80% LNR and DPR militia, plus Wagner and Chechens, and then the remaining are Russian Army troops firing heavy artillery?

      This information, as well as information about losses, is classified.
      Units of the Russian army are prohibited from having phones, taking photos and videos, allowing war correspondents to visit them and transmitting information to bloggers. Those rare photos or videos with the Russian military that you can find on the web were taken in the rear, that is, they are staged (not necessarily disinformation, they just hide the locations).
      War correspondents are still working in the units of the DPR and ONR militia, Wagner and the Chechens, so it seems that there is no Russian army on the front line. It is there. These are Marines, special forces, Rosgvardiya…
      all units have artillery. Wagner uses airplanes.

      My information about the secrecy of the Russian army was obtained from the streams of Trukhan, Martyanov and Marat Khairullin on the PolitWera channel.
      By the way, most of the war correspondents and bloggers spread false, unverified information in telegram channels, which often leads to scandals with revelations. The latest scandal broke out around a fake about the destruction of a column of armored vehicles and the death of marines. The state-owned Russian media and political shows also sin this and for this reason lose ratings.

      It’s probably impossible to avoid the fog of war.

        The incessant flash of Russian missile warheads and consequent Ukrainian power distribution center explosions illuminates the fog for me. That, along with a little extrapolation based on Ukie videos, slips of the tongue by lying Western “leaders” like Ursula Vandercrazy, and on cogent analysis by competent observers like Larry Johnson, Douglas Macgregor, and Brian Berletic, tells me that Kiev is getting its arse kicked royally, and that soon it will also have it’s legs, arms, and neck broken by what is arguably the finest military establishment on the planet.

    If the goobermint actually wanted to inspect these balloons, wouldn’t it make more sense to just put a few bullet holes in them so they’d slowly lose altitude over land – rather than shooting them with missiles? The military probably thinks they’re impressing Americans with their missiles, when really we’re just laughing at them. I look at a guy like Milley and I see a clown.

He built the website 2 days before the World Trade Centre Attack on America and has been doing work like this for over 20 years. One of the authors on his website was a person that ran a website called shadowstats.com. This was a retired economists who in absolute detail, used to prove every month that the USA economic data is a fraud and makes the chines economic data look like Honest Abe. The Author is John Williams and he has been running this website for years, tracking data all the way back to the 1980s when the statistic data definitions was changed and how the Americans and the world has been lied to ever since. Remember, inflation affects home prices and also the defined benefit pensions which I believe is what you folks have in the first world. Us here in South Africa has defined contributions and not defined benefits.

    The balloon threats only makes Biden look paranoid and demented . Shooting down the big Chinese balloon after it had crossed the USA without any diplomatic discussion with the Chinese and now the car sized balloon near Alaska that monkeywerks has said could be a stray American weather balloon going west looks like the latest attempts to pressure Biden to resign now on grounds of diminished mental capacity before the Obama clique starts impeachment calls in order to get in a new President that can more effectively degrade Russia to slow Russia & China actions that are killing the US$.
    Larry – please ask Sy Hersh if his multiple sources for Nord stream attack include MI6 and Obama loyalists because only Biden loses from Sy´s story and the big winners are the British (taking Russian heat because of Truss and MI6 operated ship sir David Attenborough which most likely launched the sonar bouys that detonated charges on NS1 & NS2 planted by USN Kearsargent) and Obama who seems to desire a new President of his choice by Spring .

If it was gaspipes in qatar i would see your point. (Allthough norwegian spec ops have been sendt everywhere the Nato/Us tell them to.Norwegian politicians are the US most servile and loyal lapdogs that have no qualms whatsoever doing as they are told selling out their own people and give away norwegian soil and military bases to the US with no clausul anymore about not storing nuclear missiles. When Martyanov (whom i love listening to)says we deserve the leaders we got he is not understanding how the theatrics of government functions in puppetstates like norway. People have in essence no control over who they get to vote for. Just look how every government there since Gro Brundtland and before always push the same agenda wether they are left or right.. much like the rest of the socalled democraticly valued west..

    Larry, you need to add two more balloons for your surface to air dobermans to target and destroy, as between us and the Canadians, with the latest shootdown over Lake Huron, we have now taken out four of what “officials” are calling High Altitude Flying Objects.

    They are everywhere, these HAFOs, coming at us from all angles and altitudes. We are under ariel seige!

    And worst of all, even though we’re shootin’ em down at a prodigious clip, outside of the first one, we don’t know what they are!

    Seriously though, anyone have any Conspiracy Theories as to what this is all about? I have one, and only one at the moment; this is preparation for an American first strike on China.

    Yes, it would be a ridiculous casus belli to justify such an action, but WWIII isn’t like other wars, when you start it with the intention of winning it, the last thing you want to have is long escalatory phase proceeding it.

    Honestly, this whole situation seems unhinged. It’s pissing me off. The American people deserve real answers. People are getting freaked out over this situation. If the government can’t provide answers then they need to shut up. It’s making the situation far worse than it needs to be.

    I went outside a bit after 4 PM CST yesterday and saw something very odd in the sky to the northwest. I’m near Fort Campbell, ky. I’m used to helicopters, but this wasn’t a helicopter. It looked like falling debris at first. I went to grab my phone to film and it was gone. Came back out a few minutes later and it was back. I realize now I was likely looking at a jet in vertical dive. There were three others jets as well. Two of them flew went over my house. They were so high up that I could barely make them out, nor could I hear them. It’s an army base – they don’t normally have jets there. I’m not sure what to make of it. I seriously doubt they were doing a training on Super Bowl Sunday. They might have arrived much earlier in the day as I remember sitting on my couch that morning and hearing a very loud jet engine roar. Now, the C5A is damn loud and will shake your house, but this oddly enough didn’t cause any vibration. I went out to look and saw nothing, which is odd as the C5A is slower moving. Whatever it was very quickly passed over. I assume it may have been a fighter jet.

    Either way, something weird is afoot here. I don’t like it at all.

      Indeed, We the People are getting the mushroom treatment:

      Shoot-downs of objects over US territory are first in history, Pentagon says

      With no public explanation, the United States Air Force has begun shooting down what it claims to be unidentified objects in US and Canadian airspace on a daily basis.

      The US military said it shot down a flying object over Northern Alaska on Friday; Yukon, Canada on Saturday; and Lake Huron on Sunday.

      These actions are unprecedented. At a Pentagon briefing Sunday, Associated Press reporter Tara Copp said that there was a “large and quick escalation to shooting down objects,” and asked if there was any precedent for what has occurred in recent days.

      Air Force General Glen VanHerck, head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), replied, “This is the first time within the United States of America airspace that NORAD or United States Northern command has taken kinetic action against an airborne object.”

      This amounts to a massive live fire exercise over US airspace, with the population given no meaningful explanation of what the military is doing or why.

      The Biden White House, for reasons that only it knows, has withheld the vast amount of photographic, radar and infrared images the advanced fighters that shot down the objects collected from their targeting pods. No photos or radar data have been released that would give the public any understanding of what is happening. …

        It’s really disconcerting. Part of me wonders if they are freaking out over anything at this point. That’s another anxiety inducing thought. Campbell isn’t an air force base, so getting jets there to begin with takes a lot of resources. There has been no mention of training in the local news. Normally, notice is given. A few people in town have posted videos of the activity. It escaped the notice of most as it was during the super bowl.

        At this rate, they will shoot down Red Baron Snoopy.

    ABC (Anti-Balloon-Corp) should specialized in bringing down the balloons intact. This alone would create a big deterrence because state actors do not want us to capture all of their electronics.
    ————————————————————————————
    The Pentagon is strongly hinting that the last 3 shoot downs were of drones, not balloons. Where did they come from, we need to find out.

    Possibilities:
    1. By China, launched from their territory
    – Unlikely, balloons may have infinite range but not drones.

    2. By China, from inside the U.S.
    – I doubt this because it is out of character for China to be so reckless.

    3. Private companies, or cartels using them for some unregistered, commercial purpose
    – more likely.

    4. Some kids in the U.S. messing around
    – unlikely, these look like high end drones.

    5. Some govt agency, ‘the left hand does not know what the right is doing’
    – I hope not, it would demonstrate extreme incompetence.

    In any case, I do want an answer.

    um…….those Rottweilers look pretty well ………fed. They must have ranks above the Captain – level.

    Either intruders have been a little too frequent at your place ……or perhaps and as I suspect …………they have you and your family a little too well trained!

    Chasing balloons more often will help with the PT.

    Meanwhile, back in Beijing:

    … US-made balloons have been detected carrying out incursions into China’s airspace at least 10 times since January 2022, according to China’s Foreign Ministry.

    “It is nothing rare for US balloons to illegally enter other country’s airspace… The US needs to reflect upon its own behavior, instead of slandering, smearing and provoking confrontation,” the ministry’s spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, stated at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Monday.

    In response to the US rhetoric following the recent balloon incident, the spokesman indicated that China reserved the right to “take necessary means to deal with relevant incidents.” …

    My suggestion: send the next Congressional “delegation” to Taiwan by balloon, preferably via the LONG route.

    I like it, although it would be wise for such a delegation to take precautions, and launch from a location outside of US airspace, otherwise it might get shot down.

    After thinking about why USAF shot down the balloons over Canada instead of the CAF…….it must be because if anyone found out Canada shot down NOAA weather balloons, it would be seen as an act-of-war………………………………so the USAF had to do the deed.

    I see now that the NORAD/Pentagon is now implying that the ‘objects’ could be aliens!!!!

    The Chinese may have inadvertedly discovered a way to tie up the USAF for years shooting down weather balloons with expensive missiles. All China has to do is release a few thousand weather balloons whenever there is a strong easterly wind and sit back while all the “top guns” over there knock themselves out and waste expensive ordnance shooting them down. It might even offer the American public some entertainment watching Goose and Maverick performing aerobatics over the Rockies on their way to meet the Chinese balloon invasion head on

    breaking CNN: “Pres. Biden: “we cannot allow a ballon gap to develop with the Chinese and Russians. Therefore, I immediately order the establishment of a new branch of the military, Balloon Force. I don’t want to over-inflate this threat, but we need to get a handle on the tether string of this problem right away, before it gains any more attitude. Rest assured my Administration is supplying as much hot air as possible to restored the deflated state of our Balloon Forces, which lost all upward momentum due to the inaction of Trump on this file. Thank You, Sen Obama!””

    All funny stuff here buuuuut……the Pentagon is now saying that the recently shot down objects were not balloons, one was hexagonally (or octagonal) shaped and that they do not know by what physics the objects are “kept aloft”. Wondering if the first object was really a balloon as originally reported.

    If these are space aliens, I, for one, am glad that our $150 million airplane can shoot them down. Maybe it should not shoot them down – like we shouldn’t be pissing-off advanced alien races – but glad it can if needed.

    To distract us from the unfolding environmental catastrophe in Ohio, which started with a chemical-carrying train derailment right before the initial balloon event.

    “BREAKING UPDATE! Reports out of Ohio state that chemicals from the train derailment and explosion in East Palestine have “contaminated” the Ohio River as far as West Virginia, a source of water for more than 5 million people, per West Virginia governor Jim Justice.

    This is a developing story.”

    Larry, even Joseph McCarthy, would be surprised how far US propaganda can go to distract the people and the nation from domestic problems. I’m talking about the Ohio, East Palestine train wreck. Reporting on balloons is throwing sand in your eyes. East Palestine, Ohio is like Flint, Ohio. Redirecting domestic problems to imaginary ones, in this case Ukrainian and Chinese problems.

    Larry – Any thoughts on the earthquake in Turkey being something other than a natural event?

    There is a lot of speculation regarding the use of some sort of LF energy weapon to trigger the quakes, prompted by the closure of a number of consulates a couple days earlier – ostensibly because of unspecified “security threats”.

    Turkey: No evidence from Western nations after consulate closures

    Earlier this week nine Western nations either closed down their consulates in Istanbul or issued travel warnings to citizens visiting Turkey, citing security threats.

    The measures angered Turkey, which on Thursday summoned the countries’ ambassadors in protest. The interior minister accused the countries of waging “psychological warfare” and attempting to wreck Turkey’s tourism industry.

    “They say there is a terror threat … But when we ask what the source of information was and who the perpetrators of such attacks might be, they did not share any information with our intelligence and security authorities,” [Foreign Minister Mevlut] Cavusoglu said.
