Cash: Another Government Cover-Up! Will It Ever End?

Posted on
November 16, 2010 by Dr. Ed

by Jim Cash, Brig. Gen., USAF, Ret.

Sliding silently under the mud, muck and fog of national politics, is a
current event that makes Bill Clinton’s excursion into the world of elderly sex
look tame in comparison.  This time the nation’s national security is truly
threatened in my opinion, and it involves not only a weak President with limited
problem-solving ability, but leadership at the highest levels in the Pentagon as
well.  The American people would do well to demand
a full investigation by an unbiased group, and let the chips fall where they
may.  I am referring to the “missile shot” taken of California coast
recently, and the lame response by NORAD, the Pentagon and the White House
itself.

First, in hope of adding some creditability to my assessment of what really
happened just off the coast of Los Angeles let me convey a bit of my background
which can be checked easily by going to Google and typing in my
name.   An Air Force biography will appear.

During the late eighties I was assigned to NORAD, as a Command Director
initially and later as the assistant Director of Operations for NORAD.  The
NORAD operation was located inside the Cheyenne Mountain complex just outside
Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Twenty four hours a day a team of
approximately 150 highly trained individuals, lead by a Brigadier General,
monitored one of the most sophticated computer systems in the world.  This
system was fed data from many different sensors that were able to detect missile
shots from any point on the globe.  All this data was taken into
consideration when making the “assessment” as whether or not North America
and/or Canada were threatened by such a launch.  If the launch was assessed
as a true threat, the President was contacted immediately by NORAD through a
military individual always close to the President who carried what we called,
“the football”, a black brief case with release codes for our nuclear
forces.   I know the system well, as for near three years I led one of
those teams.

In addition, for over 25 years, I flew US Air Force fighters to include the
F-106, F-4, F-15, F-16, and commanded an F-15 Squadron and an F-16 Wing.
The sole purpose of the F-106 assignment was to maintain an ability to become
airborne in minutes to intercept inbound bombers posing a threat to the US
mainland.  Untold hours were spent studying and being tested on visually
identifying an air-to-air threat to include its type and threat potential.
I understand the difference in an aircraft contrail and a missile launch
contrail.

In my opinion there is absolutely no doubt that what was captured
on video off the coast of California was a missile launch, was clearly observed
by NORAD, assessed by a four-star General in minutes, and passed to the
President immediately.  That is the way the system works, and heads fall if
there is a failure.  This is one of the most important tenets of National
Defense and its sole purpose of protecting the American people.  Even the
smallest failure in this system gets intense scrutiny at the highest level.

Now, the question that still must be answered is why NORAD’s muted response
was simply that North America was not threatened, and later our government
approved the lame excuse that the picture recorded was simply an aircraft
leaving a contrail.  This decision was made far above the four-star level,
and because the system in place demands it, was made by the President
himself.

There are many possible answers to the question why.  Normally, when a
situation of this nature occurs the decision makers in Washington feel it would
create panic among the mere mortals who go to work every day.  To avoid
shocking the population the truth is shaded, or sometimes just kept quiet in
hope it will just go away.  I would say to our government officials who
disregard the intelligence of the American people, be careful.  The people
are awakening, and their trust in our government is fading.  This level of
decision making will hasten that process.

In my opinion we must question the timing of this shot across our bow.
The President was abroad being diplomatic, which means trying to placate China
which is becoming overly concerned with our handling a totally out of control
deficit spending.  They do not want our debt to them be paid in cheapened
US dollars, and it appears that our current plan is to do just that.  China
is devoting a major portion of their GDP to defense spending, and what better
time to show the US that they can slip a missile equipped submarine through the
South Pacific undetected right up to one of our largest cities, than right now.
And, the Chinese have the guts to do it.

Important in my opinion is that once again the leader of this nation chose to
disguise the truth and keep the American people in the dark on an issue that
constitutes a major threat to the entire population of the United States of
America.  This is no longer a threat to only our military thousands of
miles from the homeland.  This is a show of force sending a signal that
downtown USA is now capably of being hit by an undetected submarine and at any
time.  It may very well be the beginning of the real power struggle between
the United States and China. If so, I predict the next phase will be China’s
demand for the US to cease support of Taiwan, and so it goes.

President Obama is getting in over his head once again on this one.
Hiding the severity of issues we face with China to include this possible signal
of strength is a terrible mistake.  It is happening at a time that our
Secretary of Defense, under the guidance of the President, is literally gutting
our military forces.  We have seen it already when the F-22 buy was cut
from over 600 aircraft to 187, and research and development for follow on
systems severely reduced.  This is but one of hundreds of examples of
military reductions.  I fear that this could be another reason for this
cover-up.  If the American people fully realized the severity of the threat
they might demand restoring our military to face the growing threat from China
and Russia, as opposed to the massive domestic spending that we have witnessed
over the past two years.

So, where does this leave us?  Again, the people must decide and place
pressure on the government to insure that our National Security remains
intact.  Military strength prevents war.  Military weakness invites
not only war, but also a lack of deterrence for intervention and bullying on
many fronts.

If there was ever a time for the people to look closely at the national
leadership and demand honesty and integrity, it is now.  This is not a
Democrat or Republican issue.  At issue is electing those who have the
ability to make proper decisions for our country, and will do so with no regard
to their own personal gain.  It is time to elect a President and a Congress
who will put country above self, and defend this great nation against all
enemies, foreign or domestic, and above all be honest with the people who
honored them with election to high office.

I guess anyone with a blog has a megaphone for spouting nonsense now. The
contrail if not actually from a jet can probably be traced to the ABM work at
Vandenberg AFB or Pt Mugu both of which are within 150 miles from LA. From Las
Vegas in the 1990′s, we saw similar contrails in the sunset from Vandenberg
launches (300 miles). In all likelihood, it was probably a launch from an
Aegis cruiser off the coast.
If the Chinese cannot act resolutely with a
small and troublesome neighbor like North Korea, do you honestly think they
are going to go across the Pacific to stir up trouble with the U.S.?
These
retired flags must be having a great time stirring up angst amongst people who
mistake past accomplishment for current expertise.
Occam’s Razor: “the
simplest explanation is more likely the correct one.”

@2 Would you care to tell us how your qualifications to evaluate this event
exceed the qualifications of Brig Gen Jim Cash?
