WIWT BREAKING NEWS! Western Nations on ALERT, HUNDREDS ANTI SAT MISSILES ON LAUNCHERS
Palestine and Narnia wish to Join in Anti Satellite Coalition
25 July
WIWT News | National leaders of both Palestine and Narnia expressed their strong desire to join the Babushka Federation and Maoistan anti-satellite joint collaboration. Babushka representatives had not responded at the time of this writing. However, Maoistan officials said although they appreciate to heartfelt sentiment of offsetting the balance of power that currently favors western nations, Narnia’s missile technology is just in its infancy, and Palestine’s is much further behind that. Maoistan’s official response is that Palestine and Narnia can contribute in other ways, and should focus on low tech contributions such as sabotage, assassinations, and creating chaos and instability in western countries at the social psychological level. The Maoistani spokesperson praised both Narnia and Palestine for their superb propaganda skills and urged them to continue their contributions in that way.

WIWT NEWS BREAKING! Western Leaders Condemn Joint Anti Satellite Test
25 July
WIWT News | Joint test between the Babushka Federation and Maoistan has western leaders holding emergency conference calls among themselves in the early morning hours of Friday. National heads scramble to develop a strategy and a unified response to potentially dangerous Babushka and Maoistani anti satellite missile launches, which were abruptly announced for early Friday, July 25th.
Western intelligence has been tracking the activity at launch sites in both countries, but seem to be caught off guard at the early announcement. The hotly debated weapons programs designed to target satellites in the event of war have experts warning that simply blowing up a single satellite can cause space debris which endangers non military satellites used in commerce, telecommunications, navigation, and monitoring of the oceans’ levels and polar ice caps. Some say it imperils the International Space Station and its crews.
Spokespersons from both Babushka and Maoistan said this is an overreaction to a test that won’t endanger anyone, or any other spacecraft. Each stated that the test was designed to target their own, dead weather satellites that are no longer in service and have reached the end of their lives. Both nations claim any debris will fall to earth and burn up upon reentry.
Others argue that even without warfare, but simply “testing” could create debris fields that could potentially make space dangerous, or even unusable for years. And if anti satellite weapons were used in warfare, space could be unusable for decades, or more. Possibly centuries.
Intelligence experts ask, “Why so many?” Space warfare fellow at Spaced Out Research, Ian Wondering, asked if they’re only sending up one rocket each, why are both nations staging dozens of rockets at launch sites within just a 24 hour time.
This question has the US State Department and the Pentagon scrambling for answers and options in case this is not just a “test.” Babushka and Maoistan both rejected notions of launching more than just one anti satellite missile each, and stated firmly that all weapons systems have to be inspected and systems checked and placing them in launchers is the most efficient means of comprehensive testing.
State heads are working to put international pressure on the Babushka Federation and Maoistan to convince them to halt any launches, and most importantly, not to take any action that would endanger the peaceful use of space for all who call Earth home.

Increased Activity at Maoistani-owned Land Near U.S. Military Bases Raises Questions
National Security | WIWT News has received numerous reports from citizens across the country about increased activity on agriculture land adjacent to Military Bases, and authorities aren’t providing answers. Specifically mentioned by inquiring citizens, Hill Air Force Base, UT, Whiteman AFB, MO, and Wright-Patterson AFB, OH are asking why suddenly dozens of 18-wheelers with shipping containers on trailers showing up at the Maoistan-owned land. While some harvests have begun, shipping containers aren’t used for transporting agricultural crops to be processed. Congressman McMaga (MO) wants answers, and stated he is petitioning to start a committee to investigate the unusual activity, and continues to push for action that would prevent Maoistani companies or their proxies from owning or operating on land near our military bases. “This is a national security issue, and not enough is being done to address it, and not nearly fast enough!” McMaga stated.

Salami Citizen Taking Pictures of Water Treatment Plant in ICE Custody After Suspicious Person Call
Springfield, MO — An illegal citizen from the Islamic Republic of Salami-Salami is in custody after alert citizens called the police reporting a “suspicious person taking pictures of a municipal water treatment plant” in Springfield on Tuesday. According to police reports, there were two men who appeared to be Salami taking photographs, but only managed to take one into custody. Police spokesman said that they are looking for a second Salami, and that the Salami male they had arrested has been turned over to ICE custody. Among the items recovered was a notebook with drawings, maps, and addresses related to other water treatment plants, as well as locations of radio communications repeater sites. The captured camera is being reviewed by authorities to determine what the intent of the Salamis are, or what other groups they may be affiliated with.

Joint GPS Jamming Babushka and Maoistani
Joe Snuffy – WIWT Techology Correspondent
State level heads of the Babushka Federation and Maoistan announced a joint “scientific research” operation experimenting with satellite navigation.

The Babushka experiment would take place north of Greenland to the north of Finland outside of primary commercial flight paths. Maoistan stated their experiment would take place in the northern Pacific, but below the Bering Sea. The U.S. State Department denounced the experiment as dangerous and unnecessary

CISA Warns, Hacking Attempts of Municipal Water Treatment
Early on Tuesday CISA announced it is analyzing attempts to penetrate the water treatment control systems in Spokane, WA, Colorado Springs, CO, Peoria, IL, and Baton Rouge, LA. Most concerning is that the attempted breeches occurred as far back as January of this year, and are just now being discovered. Analysts suspect this may have been a probing and testing operation, and fear other municipalities may be added to the list. Investigation is ongoing.
