July 4, 2017—Happy Independence Day!

by Henry F. Cooper on July 3, 2017 in High Frontier, Independence Day, July Fourth, Missile Defense, Ronald Reagan

Today, we celebrate the founding of America on July 4, 1776—Independence Day to remember when, for the first time ever, “We the People” declared their right to protect themselves from the encroachments of an over-reaching, intrusive government. That formula grew America into a free people and the world’s sole superpower with a quality of life for hundreds of millions, unmatched by any other nation on earth. But as Benjamin Franklin stated on that first Independence Day, the founders “gave us a Republic if we can keep it.” Read Full Story

November 7, 2014—Beware the Lame Ducks!

by Scott Cooper on November 7, 2014 in 2014 Election, EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense

“We the people” must stay alert throughout the entire remainder of President Obama’s lame duck presidency, beginning now—and beyond—to assure that our elected representatives—on both sides of the aisle—live up to their Constitutional oath “to provide for the common defense.” Read Full Story

October 31, 2014—Who Knows What Evil Lurks?

by Scott Cooper on October 31, 2014 in Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIL, ISIS, Islamic State, Israel, Missile Defense, SDI

“”Our loyal, brave people… should know the truth. They should know that there has been a gross neglect and deficiency in our defenses; they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road… and do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of the bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year, unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in olden time.” ~Winston Churchill, in protest against the Munich settlement, 1938 Read Full Story

October 22, 2014—Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?

“[The federal government’s] purpose is to safeguard the American people and pursue our interests in the world, not to solve the world’s problems on our dime and, occasionally, by using us as laboratory mice. As free people, we can try to save the planet. The federal government, however, was not created to do it for us, much less to coerce us into implausible “humanitarian” schemes that always manage to line some crony’s pocket. National interest is our government’s only reliable compass, yet it has been discarded.” ~Andy McCarthy Read Full Story

October 8, 2014—Protect America from the EMP Threat!

by Scott Cooper on October 6, 2014 in EMP, Iran, ISIS, Missile Defense, North Korea, Pakistan

The rise of the Islamic State and its objective of re-establishing an Islamic caliphate committed to destroying Western civilization highlights a threat the U.S. has ignored for decades. The ability to launch nuclear armed ballistic missiles is not beyond its prospective capabilities and exists already from North Korea and possibly soon from Iran. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a single nuclear warhead detonated 100 miles or so over the U.S. could destroy our unhardened electric power grid—leading to the death of several hundred million Americans within the following year. It’s time to counter this threat! Read Full Story

September 24, 2014—ISIS . . . Over There?

by Scott Cooper on September 24, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIL, ISIS, Islamic State, Khorasan, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

Fourteen of yesterday’s early morning attacks in Syria focused on ISIS targets. Very important is that another eight Khorasan target areas were attacked by U.S. weapons, reportedly as somewhat of an afterthought, because recent intelligence indicated that these jihadis were on the verge of launching attacks in Europe and/or the U.S. homeland. Are we prepared to counter other “unidentified” homeland attacks? Read Full Story

August 25, 2014—Wake-up The Dogs Not Barking!

by Scott Cooper on August 24, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Iran, Missile Defense, North Korea, Quick Fix

“There is now an increasing likelihood that rogue nations such as North Korea (and before long, most likely, Iran) will soon match Russia and China in that they will have the primary ingredients for an EMP attack: simple ballistic missiles such as SCUDs that could be launched from a freighter near our shores; space launch vehicles able to launch low- earth-orbit satellites; and simple low-yield nuclear weapons that can generate gamma rays and fireballs. In 2004, the Russians told us that their “brain drain” had been helping the North Koreans develop EMP weapons . . .” ~Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey Read Full Story

August 18, 2014—On Organizing Principles . . . Really!

by Scott Cooper on August 16, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

“Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.” ~Private Citizen Hillary Clinton, The Atlantic, August 10, 2014 . . . “What difference at this point does it make?” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, January 23. 2013. Indeed???

August 5, 2014—Delusional Defense . . .

by Scott Cooper on August 4, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” ~Winston Churchill Read Full Story

July 29, 2014—Quick Fixes to Counter the Existential EMP Threat!

by Scott Cooper on July 28, 2014 in Aegis, EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

We remain vulnerable to the existential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threat that is posed by rogue states and jihadi terrorists. Time’s awasting, but we have relatively inexpensive ways to counter this threat beginning immediately if only the “powers that be” wake up and take the needed actions.
