The Earth, land, and sea are set in battle array…US Navy readies to deploy first warfare laser onboard USS Ponce this spring

Greetings,

Russia continues her military build up without let up. China continues her fast pace unrivaled military build up without let up. The Asian nations along with the Middle Eastern nations are building up as well.

We see South and Central America preparing for war. If we look at Africa, even the African nations are spending on the pursuit of arming themselves against their aggressors. These build-ups have nothing to do with peace.

You don’t arm yourself to the teeth thinking that this is going to bring about peace. Peace happens with a desire and sincere efforts being made towards the establishment of trust, love, equality, freedom, justice, and the mechanisms which will provide these principles to everyone without failure.

The building of arms are not the course to peace. This is the strait way to war. …”In the Fall of Ancient Babylon Jer. 50:46, “At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.” here the Bible teaches us and we see today, at the fall of the old world, there is a great noise of war, the fighting of war, the destruction of nations, towns, and cities and the killing of their citizens. There is disagreement and confusion of the heads of nations.

  It is a very dreadful time that the populations of the earth are now living in. This is the time of the destruction of a world. It is not tobe compared with the destruction of an organization or a few towns as it was in the days of Noah. The destruction today is the destruction of a whole world. The prophets could not have given us a better picture of what we may expect today than the picture of what took place in the fall of ancient Babylon.

  The Earth, land, and sea are set in battle array. Every type of deadly weapon is fashioned and is now being used against man and man. See    Holy Qur’an Chap. 30:41. There cannot be any peace for man under these conditions.”–pgs.212 & 213(osha)

      US Navy readies to deploy first warfare laser onboard USS Ponce this spring

  The United States Navy is looking to finally make its highly-touted laser technology a reality this summer, when it will deploy its first laser weapon on a warship.

In fact, the Navy’s laser weapon has progressed far enough that  when it’s deployed and tested on the USS Ponce, it can be  controlled by a lone sailor.

Meanwhile, the Navy also plans to outfit one of its ships with an  electromagnetic rail gun within two years. Speaking to the  Associated Press, Navy Capt. Mike Ziv, a program manager at the  Naval Sea Systems Command, said making these technologies  operational “fundamentally changes the way” the United States  conducts warfare.

The solid-state Laser Weapons System, for example, would allow  the navy to effectively neutralize threats such as aerial drones  and swarm boats by shooting them with a beam of intense heat and  destroying their internal parts. Electromagnetic rail guns,  meanwhile, could potentially replace traditional guns with a  system that fires GPS-guided projectiles up to seven times faster  than the speed of sound.

Perhaps even more importantly, these new weapons systems –   particularly the lasers – would be far cheaper to operate than  current technology. As RT reported last year, a single Tomahawk  missile costs the United States $1.4 million dollars. A laser  could bring prices down to a few dollars a shot – and, unlike  one-and-done missiles, a laser could be fired continuously.

Still, at this point the military benefits are simply conjecture,  since problems remain with both systems. Lasers typically become  much less effective when the weather turns sour, meaning that  rain or dust storms could severely shorten their range. Loren  Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, told the  AP that while the Navy claims to have figured out how to operate  lasers in poor weather, the weapon’s range would likely still  shrink.

The electromagnetic gun, on the other hand, requires so much  power to operate that none of the Navy’s current crop of ships  can actually benefit from its existence. The Navy’s massive new destroyer, the $3.5 billion  USS Zumwalt, is the only vessel that will be capable of using  such a weapon, though it’s still under construction. The  technology used in the Zumwalt class of destroyers is expected to  eventually make its way into other Navy vessels.

Despite the hurdles that still need to be cleared, the US intends  to move forward with these projects. Since 2005, the military has  invested $240 million into the rail gun project, and its laser  systems are reportedly further ahead of schedule than those being  developed by other countries.

“It’s fair to say that there are other countries working on  this technology. That’s safe to say,” Ziv told the AP.   “But I would also say that a lot of what makes this  successful came from the way in which we consolidated all of the  complexity into something that can be operated by (a single  sailor).”
