UNBELIEVABLE

I just wanna discuss the subject.
Does this jibe with anyone with experience knows?
...

1.  What he is refering to is that in the early half of the shuttle's life, it almost always landed at Edwards AFB in California.  He is not talking about it making an unscheduled stop.

even consider using something a noticable as a space shuttle for smuggling?

So the highly polish brick is smuggling from Florida to California?

Why? to get past the produce guards?

The basic pattern of central american narcoics trafficking during the Reagan-Bush era was for american provided planes to fly arms and other military supplies to anti-Sandinista "Contra" terrorists who were largely but not exclusively based in Honduras in order to overthrow the left leaning Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The Somoza family were american backed dictators who had ruled Nicaragua in the interest of america's ruling elite since the 1920's (they were originally installed by a coup d'etat by US Marine special forces). They were overthrown in 1979 after which the US sought to reinstall a neocolonialist government.

The planes returned to the United States with drugs like opium grown by farmers paid by the CIA.

The principle american airbase from which the planes departed was the airport in Mena, Arkansas provided to Bush specifically for this use by Governor Clinton.

I, for one, have not had the 'pleasure of discovery' drained from me.  Every time I come up with a solution to a problem, I am as giddy as a school girl.

I also have control over the work I do- I can quit and work somewhere else.  I work where I do because the industry is important and it provides me with satisfaction at the end of the day.

There is nothing to prevent me from inventing on my own time at my own cost with my own equipment.  As a matter of fact, I am in the process of filing for a patent right now.  The patent has nothing to do with my work and I designed everything at home on my free time.

When you invent on your own time does it have anything to do with the company?

You seem to be part of the population that has a job that gives them some free time.  (Probably a lot of people on this website.)

Do you believe that what that author is saying stands especially about guarded secrets and how they control education?

What guarded secrets?  Education is controlled, as the group who decides such things will decide what is to be taught, and to which students it is to be taught.

This secret society has crafted the engineering industry in such a way that technical engineering knowledge is primarily dispensed to initiates who have been indoctrinated through a tightly controlled educational system at universities and institutes which constitute one branch of the engineering industry. This state of affairs is described in 'America By Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism' by the erudite and perceptive labor historian and former MIT Professor David Noble, one of the radical social science classics of the 1970's:

I didn't say that.

Sure lots of people watch the takeoff, but how many people actually tracked it with a telescope the entire time until it landed? Would it really be noticeable?
From what he says it looks like Bush smuggled a lot of drugs into the US through Arkansas and not many people noticed.

Ok, so for the trips to Edwards, where did it launch from? What would they have smuggle to edwards from the launch site, that they couldn't have move much more cheaply and easily using other means?

1. KSC
2. I never said they smuggled anything.  The person Lord Byron quoted said they did, as the shuttle left Florida and arrived in California.  You asked how it was possible for them to make an unscheduled stop, and get back into orbit.  I simply wanted to correct your understanding of what the person said: The shuttle was not making unscheduled stops, mearly landing in California after its mission.

I don't think it can be an unscheduled stop if they haven't left the launch pad yet.

The unscheduled stops I was refering to were the "Pick up" points to get whatever was to be smuggled onboard.

Clandestine shipments are made by all modes of transportation, including submarines and PT boats.

Thats the distance you'd have to move your left pinky in order to not sound like a fraking retard.
