You are right if you assume everything the news tells you is true. But the point of this thread is not believing the news because there is a decent probability that there is way more to this story. Besides its fun to speculate on other reasons.

Perhaps its a response to the Chinese missile test carried out last year.

My personal opinion is that the U.S. wants to flex its technilogical muscles to ward off China. Notice how the U.S. has already started to villinize our largest importer of domestic goods? Lead paints, metal sharded candy, etc, etc...

China had been up and coming for quite a while now, and being allied with Russia, North Korea, and Iran does not help things. The Chinese are certainly going to be force that will answer to no one in the future. It seems they have more people in thier millitary than the U.S. has citizens. A war with them would be horrific.

I think the U.S. is just trying to ward off the obvious migration towards WWIII and the potential destruction of the United States itself by its political/ecconomic rivals.

Question: Is China the first Communist country that the U.S. has ever had such a trade agreement with? I mean, I'm not even allowed to have a Cuban cigar imported due to the sanctions imposed stemming from Castro's communistic ideals.

However, yeah.....let the Chinese stock all the Wallmarts, poisen our people with thier products, and contribute to the collapse of the American economy. ~~~Sounds great right?

Just my two cents.

I hate to burst everybody's conspiracy bubble here, but the news cast I watched stated the reason they are Shooting it down was because the satellite contains some of our latest technology and often when these satellites fall out of the sky some small pieces are found eventually.

They even stated that these items could be picked up and sold on the internet sites such as Ebay which would fetch very high prices and the technology could possibly fall into the hands of China or other nations.

Now I suppose I have to find the link.

EDIT- Well maybe this is a conspiracy, because I can't find the original video.
Okay- I found a similar story to the one I heard about, but it's in Canada. Will U.S. Spy Satellite debris pose a threat?

OKAY HERE's quote similar to what I heard in the news report, but still not on video yet - and I don't know if this is just commentary.LINK
"We are worried about something showing up on eBay,'' intelligence expert John Pike told the Associated Press.

"What they have to be worried about is that a souvenir collector is going to find some piece, put it on eBay and the Chinese buy it,'' said Pike, the director of the defence research group GlobalSecurity.org.


I have to conclude that indeed there is a conspiracy here as it seems the story has morphed at all the US MSM sources. Obviously somebody put pressure on them to change the story and we'll look the other way because it's for our own good and the old "National Security" stamp.
