I was most concerned about the satelllite detecting anomalies being down.
Although the video was politically biased, they did raise a valid point in regards to the satellite reference.
Here is another source of that tidbit:
www.committeerepubliccanada.ca...
"That brings to three the number of satellites crucial for monitoring solar or earthquake-related activity, which have been shut down, or never
launched, in the recent period. The other two are the planned DESDynI radar satellite for monitoring earthquakes and other natural disasters, which
was axed by Obama, and the French Demeter ionosphere monitoring satellite, designed to monitor ionosphere and upper atmosphere activity in the
vicinity of earthquake zones, shut down in December 2010." (quote from source)
"Because of the cutback in the NOAA budget, data from magnetometer and energetic particle detectors, which had been coming from two geosychronous
satellites, will come from only one, the GOES-13 at 75 degrees east longitude. The GOES-11, on the opposite side of the Earth at 135 degrees west
longitude, will no longer report. Thus, as the Earth turns, precise data accumulation will be restricted to 12 hours of the day. This situation will
persist until "around September of this year," NOAA says, when a new GOES satellite is brought from a storage location into the 135 degree West
position. The magnetic and energetic particle (mostly protons) data is our principal means of monitoring solar activity." (quote from source)
So this is saying the total number of satellites not in operation is three?
Not a good time to be saving pennies. Is it possible there is another bigger, better satellite technology being
incorporated that we aren't being privy to? And if so, why???
