The Navy is about to shoot a so called "spy" satellite out of the sky. According to a recent article, this missle will attempt to destroy a 5000 lb satellite, 1000 lbs of which is the fuel tank with Hydrazine. The experts say that the missle may not even destroy the fuel tank but would allow the fuel into the atmosphere.
In case you are not familiar with Hydrazine, according to Wikipedia Hydrazine is highly toxic and dangerously unstable. The liquid is corrosive and may produce dermatitis from skin contact in humans and animals. Effects to the lungs, liver, spleen, and thyroid have been reported in animals chronically exposed to hydrazine via inhalation. Increased incidences of lung, nasal cavity, and liver tumors have been observed.
In addition, the cost of the missle shot is estimated at $40 million! Unbelievable!
Then there is this headline below which leaves me wondering what the real truth is...

You know, they are supposed to be shooting it down because it's landing in non US land and they don't want other governments to get our intel on the satellite. So, the whole fuel thing is just a fake wall to cover up the need to destroy it to avoid intel capture.
Long live Art Bell ;) !
I don't know anything about the satellite but $40 mill sounds like a bit too much for anything.
Furthermore, I'm sure it would not phase our government in the least to shower us in hazardous chemicals. They allow it everyday. Following World War II our supplies of excess chemical warfare became pesticides... because it makes perfect sense that rather than let a whole industry fade or die you would take whatever we had been trying to kill people with and instead spray it all over our food crops. There is a very strong correlation between the use of pesticides at that point in time and the increase of cancer in our society. We really cannot trust our government with what they think is OK for us to eat, breathe or put on our skin. So if it's raining down from above that would not surprise me at all.

Quite frankly, it is all an absurdity. $40 million, spying, missions of destruction, possible toxic rain, and the varying beliefs of what people think is true or not true. And standing so firmly in that belief, whatever it is, is the most absurd of all. How do we really know what is going on. There is no truth, whether it is in the media or the government.
It is one great marketing scheme to keep people divided, confused and feeling helpless. And we are financing the whole thing. Brilliant!
