June 21, 2016—Weapons of Mass Distraction . . .

by Henry F. Cooper on June 20, 2016 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIS, Islam, Orlando, Political Correctness

“The problem with mass immigration from sharia enclaves is not merely that trained terrorists may infiltrate the immigrant population. It is that sharia-adherent, assimilation-resistant Muslims will form sharia enclaves in the U.S., as they have throughout Europe, where young Muslims will be “radicalized” under our noses in the years to come. Today, we have gotten another glimpse of radicalization, which is not “homegrown” but rather fueled by a foreign, anti-American, anti-liberty ideology.” ~ Andrew McCarthy, June 12, 2016 Read Full Story

June 14, 2016—Wake Up, America; Stop Political Correctness!

by Henry F. Cooper on June 13, 2016 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIS, Islam, Orlando

“We face a challenging threat environment here at home as Islamist extremists abroad have dug into their core sanctuaries and expanded into new territory. ISIS sympathizers and fighters continue to wreak havoc, launching murderous attacks from Baghdad to Brussels to San Bernardino. ISIS remains entrenched in its core bases in Raqqa and Mosul while it exploits vacuums to expand its networks in places like North Africa. Al Qaeda and its affiliates also pose a continuing threat as they operate from safe havens, including in Syria and Yemen. Meanwhile, the world’s primary state sponsor of terror, Iran, has seized on American retreat to enhance its capabilities and advance its nefarious agenda. This moment demands true leadership and a vision for a global order that secures us and our allies.” ~ House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul—June 2, 2016 Read Full Story

June 7, 2016—Homefolks: Fix It Right, Fix It Now!

“In anticipating the event of a power grid going down . . . the process will have to be streamlined and rehearsed. During the time that it takes to alert and dispatch military personnel and to mobilize the National Guard, local and state police will need to immediately secure the stores and warehouses containing essential supplies that will otherwise be stripped bare in a matter of hours. The authority exists, but without the regular conduct of combined exercises specifically designed to respond to the aftermath of a grid going down, critical supplies will be gone before law enforcement even arrives on the scene . . .” ~ Ted Koppel, emphasis added.

May 31, 2016—Nukes Help Keep the Peace!

by Henry F. Cooper on May 30, 2016 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Hiroshima

“The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold . . . If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.” ~ From the first Public Statement on August 6, 1945 (Public Papers of the Presidents, Harry S. Truman, 1945, pg. 197, 199).

May 24, 2016—Remember . . .

by Henry F. Cooper on May 23, 2016 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Memorial Day

“We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace.” Then Secretary of State Colin Powell, 2003 Read Full Story

May 17, 2016—Bottom Line: The People Get It!

by Henry F. Cooper on May 16, 2016 in Aegis Ashore, Electric Grid, EMP, Gulf Coast Defense, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, SDI, Secure The Grid

Local and state initiatives are gaining momentum and potentially can prompt needed solutions to counter the existential threats posed by an indefinite loss of the electric power grid — today an all too real possibility. These “bottoms-up” initiatives offer hope to all Americans in spite of the lethargy among the “powers that be” who are failing at their sworn duty. Will the solutions come in time? Read Full Story

May 10, 2016—State and Local Efforts to Secure the Grid!

by Henry F. Cooper on May 9, 2016 in Aegis Ashore, Electric Grid, EMP, Gulf Coast Defense, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, SDI, Secure The Grid

Local and state initiatives are needed to protect all Americans from some existential threats to the electric power grid, because leaders in the Federal Government are failing at their duty to “provide for the common defense.” Happily, much can be accomplished by such initiatives, but protection against ballistic missiles launched from vessels in the Gulf of Mexico requires action by the Federal Government to protect the entire nation.

May 3, 2016— Fix the Grid, From the Bottom Up!

by Henry F. Cooper on May 2, 2016 in Electric Grid, EMP, Gulf Coast Defense, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Missile Threat, NORTHCOM, SDI, Secure The Grid

A growing number of Americans are concerned that the once highly classified threat from an electromagnetic pulse is still not being addressed, even though the Pentagon has known about it for a half-century and most essential matters were made public in the 2008 EMP Commission report. Our civil infrastructure was never hardened, except for communication systems to assure connectivity from the President to our strategic forces. Read Full Story

April 26, 2016—So, Who’s in Charge?

by Henry F. Cooper on April 25, 2016 in Electric Grid, EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, NORAD, NORTHCOM

“NORTHCOM was born because of the 9/11 attacks for there was no commander of the homeland. But we are not the commander in charge of defending against terrorist attacks for that is the mission of the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice. We are a supporting command to them in dealing with terrorist threats.” ~ Admiral William Gortney, Commander of Northern Command (NORTHCOM) Read Full Story

April 19, 2016—Near a Tipping Point?

by Henry F. Cooper on April 19, 2016 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Sun Tzu, Tipping Point

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War Read Full Story
