The Pentagon lied again today, saying the operation to nuke the poisonous satellite of death “appears to have succeeded in destroying a tank filled with toxic rocket fuel.” Well whoop-de-doo, because this threat is far from over: “Most of the debris, the statement said, already re-entered the atmosphere or would within coming weeks.”The Pentagon thinks it can fool us sheeple with its grand narratives. But we see your sly insertions, Mr. Robert McNamara:

“Based on debris analysis, officials are confident the missile intercept and destruction of a non-functioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite achieved the objective of destroying the hydrazine tank and reducing, if not eliminating, the risk to people on Earth from the hazardous chemical” … The statement said a joint space operations headquarters based at Vandenberg Air Force Base, in California, was tracking fewer than 3,000 pieces of debris, “all smaller than a football.”

So the poisonous satellite was destroyed successfully, meaning that for the next few weeks, 3,000 pieces of still-toxic death, the size of children’s footballs, will rapidly fall into your skull.
