Summary

The host, Ashton Forbes, discusses a Poly Market report claiming the US military has publicly acknowledged deploying space-based weapons, specifically directed energy weapons, for the first time. He argues that while dropping kinetic objects from orbit is impractical, directed energy weapons are a viable and terrifying reality, contrasting this with the physics community's current skepticism. To support the existence of advanced, classified military technology, he analyzes declassified footage of a US rescue operation in Iran involving two downed F-15E pilots.

He suggests that the successful daylight rescue behind enemy lines, without the aircraft being shot down, implies the use of advanced electromagnetic interference or 'Ghost Murmur' technology to jam enemy systems, a capability mainstream physics currently dismisses as fake. The host also highlights the use of 'Argus' wide-area motion imagery drones, which use AI to track individuals across large areas, as evidence of the military's sophisticated surveillance infrastructure that could support space-based weapons.

Key Claims (6)

Speculative

An unsourced Polymarket post claimed the US military had publicly acknowledged, for the first time, deploying space weapons in orbit; Ashton Forbes could not find a source and said it 'could be fake', but expects it to prove real and argues such weapons would be directed-energy.

Evidence: Polymarket post (Forbes found no source for it)

Speculative

Directed energy weapons are real and capable of targeting individuals from space, potentially causing physiological effects like heart attacks, despite the physics community's skepticism.

Evidence: No source cited; speaker's own argument

Speculative

Ashton Forbes argues the Iran rescue shows that 'Ghost Murmur', the CIA technology news coverage credited with locating the downed officer and which physicists dismissed as fake, is real, and that the mission must also have used jamming or electromagnetic countermeasures to protect the helicopters.

Evidence: No source cited; speaker's own argument

Speculative

Ashton Forbes argues the successful daylight rescue of two US Air Force officers (a pilot and a weapons systems officer) shot down over Iran, in which the helicopters were not shot down, indicates the use of classified electromagnetic countermeasures or 'Ghost Murmur' to discombobulate enemy systems.

Evidence: Declassified video of the rescue of Alpha and Bravo

Speculative

The drone-mounted ARGUS wide-area sensor (1.8 billion pixels, covering 15 square miles) shows the military's wide-area surveillance capability; Ashton Forbes argues that feeding such footage to AI would let the military track individuals, and links this to future space-based weapons.

Evidence: Video clip of Argus drone capabilities

Speculative

The physics community is stuck at an impasse and refuses to rationalize or believe in technologies like directed energy weapons and Ghost Murmur, despite evidence of their operational use.

Evidence: No source cited; speaker's own argument

Let's start with this [clears throat] Poly Market. Now, I was looking for a source on this. Can't seem to find one. And I don't really like Poly Market. I don't really trust Poly Market's journalism, but okay, we'll at least talk about it for a second. Breaking.

US military publicly acknowledges for the first time that it has deployed space weapons in orbit. Now, if this is real, this is a very big deal. This is a very big deal because we've traditionally and morally I thought there even might be laws against it had agreed that we would not weaponize space. Obviously that's stupid and naive. We are going to absolutely weaponize the out of outer space. We've got warp drives and wormhole technology.

We're definitely weaponizing space. No question. But I was just surprised by this. Also, this kind of brings space-based directed energy weapons back on the table here cuz what are we talking about? Are we do people really think we're talking about dropping steel beams on people from outer space? They probably do.

They probably do think that. I mean, it's a cool idea, but it's not very practical. You what? Take a rocket to take a steel beam into outer space just so you can drop it onto somebody? That's pretty dumb. Just shoot them with a directed energy weapon.

We don't need to don't need to send a whole bunch of mass in outer space just to drop it on somebody. But it is cool and we should do that to someone just to say that we did it one time. Now, this is big because directed energy weapons were thought to be fake. They were thought to be not possible. Now, we've learned a lot about AI that has scared the hell out of us. So, I'm going to go ahead and play I think one of the videos that I have.

This is the next generation of surveillance >> for the >> if you are a flock camera hater you are about to be very triggered by now. >> First time we actually have permission from the government to show the basic capabilities. It is important for the public to know that some of these capabilities [music] exist. Engineer Giannis Antinyades designed the new sensor [music] known as Argus.

With 1.8 billion pixels, it covers 15 square miles. >> This whole image is at a very very zoom in. >> You could pick the location of where you produce these images anywhere in the entire field of view. >> Antonyadas can open up to 65 windows at once. >> So this is wide area motion imagery. Why? Because they put this on a drone, but in theory, I guess it could be on a satellite. It's just kind of far away for satellites, but it's possible they do some for satellites, they're doing like um certain little radar. I forget what it's called. Uh synthetic aperture radar.

Um but for these drones, they got them taking this camera. Now, the reason why I bring this up is now add AI to the mix. You give you feed AI all this footage. This thing's gonna be tracking you everywhere you've ever gone in your whole life. That's a whole city. That's a whole city that drone is covering. >> And can see objects as small as 6 in on >> Remember when Trump said during the Iran conflict that we were tracking every single one of their guys.

This is how we were doing it. Whammy. Wide area motion imagery. Wide area motion imagery. It's a drone and it's taking pictures, thousands of pictures, and it's beaming it back to a computer and the computer is building video out of it. And then the AI is tracking every object in the field of view on the ground >> from even 17,500 ft.

The white thing that you see flying around is a bird. Argus streams live to the ground and also stores everything [music] a million terabytes of video a day which is the equivalent of 5,000 hours of highdefin footage >> teraby million terabytes a day whatever it was a lot >> so you can go back and say I would like to see what happened at this particular location 3 days 2 hours 4 minutes ago an imaging chip Okay. So, the point being the AI is going to have all that data. And for space-based weapons, we're going to have directed energy weapons. This should freak people out.

Even if it drops off, the energy drops off by one divided by r instead of one divided r 2, that's still a terrifying possibility that someone might be able to zap you from outer space. I mean, I'm pretty sure we can take down airplanes and other craft from outer space with ease, but it's going to get a lot more extreme than that. Yes, as the CIA people said, they can they can shape an explosive to a gnat's eyelash. So, imagine what they could do with a directed energy weapon. They might be able to just force you to have a heart attack.

The fact though that we have made it so that space is now being weaponized and we're admitting it and we're admitting directed energy weapons are real and that it's not conspiracy theorists. We're still at an impass right now with the physics community. The physics community still thinks all this stuff is fake. They still haven't rationalized directed energy weapons. They think that the uh ghost murmur is fake. You know, they're not really believing that technology exists, but can't force them.

Anyway, more to come on this. Are there any sources in here? No. No. Uh, no sources in there. Okay. So, that could be fake. If so, I apologize, but I think it's going to end up being real. So, let's talk a little bit about uh actually, let's go to the Iran thing here, and then we're going to go to UFO disclosure.

Uh, let's go with I don't know. Let's go with this one. A few months ago during the Iran conflict, war, whatever it is, two pilots were trapped behind enemy lines. And there was some pretty weird stories that went along with it. One of those guys who was trapped for several days said that he saw Iranian drones that looked weird, like alien type stuff. That was his quote.

The footage from the rescue dropped today and there was interviews that were being done or maybe yesterday. Yeah, yesterday over the weekend. So, here we go. Let's listen. Let's watch. This is supposedly the footage from the rescue.

I don't know if it's the first one or the second one. This is newly declassified video of the rescues of two US Air Force officers who were shot down over Iran. The two men who we are calling Alpha and Bravo for security reasons ejected from their F-15E fighter jet after they were struck by an Iranian missile and landed miles a >> Oh, and the other rumor was that advanced drones might be taking the planes out too. Struck by a missile. But weird that only these planes got struck by a missile >> part in a rugged mountainous region.

They were stranded behind enemy lines with Iranian bounties on their heads. >> Yeah, that was really deep behind enemy lines. If you saw how deep that was, that's like the middle of the country, man. >> Of course, the first concern is what's the status of the crew. General Dan Kaine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the rescue operation for both officers was one of the biggest and most complex in US military history. Alpha, the pilot, was located first. This declassified footage shows the risky daytime mission to rescue him.

The US sent in 21 aircraft to get him out. >> Just how dangerous was the [clears throat] mission? aircraft aircraft aircraft to get him out. >> Huh. Notice the the footage. I mean, we're the MH370 videos are obviously real. The clouds are the exact same. You know, the clouds in the comparison to these. Now, these are higher quality.

These are better cameras now because these are 10 years older, you know, or newer. But you can just tell what real clouds look. We never knew like in 2014, we had never seen cameras that were that good. They could look at clouds like that. And now we're seeing it, of course, 10 years later. >> Just how dangerous was the mission to rescue Alpha? >> Well, anytime you go uh behind enemy lines in daylight, it's going to be dicey. We would much rather go at night, but given the threat to 44 alpha, >> I'm like actually blown away we were able to pull this off.

Long story short, why are we watching this? Cuz I'm pretty sure we use some I mean, we use ghost murmur. How in the hell did we prevent helicopters from getting shot down behind enemy lines in the middle of Iran? We had to be jamming all their equipment, having some sort of countermeasures, spoofs. Definitely required electromagnetic interference at a bare minimum. Yeah, exactly.

Discombobulated at a bare minimum. And I'm not hearing anything about it, which makes sense because if if you are Iran and you get discombobulated, you don't release that information publicly. Venezuela didn't release that information either.

It was the guys that actually had were bleeding out of their eyes and ears that were the ones that went on social media. >> The decision was taken to boldly go behind enemy lines in daylight to make sure that we could get to him before anybody else could. >> For nearly two days, Bravo, the weapons systems officer who was in the back seat, was alone in the Iranian desert, badly wounded with almost no water, no food, and no rescue in sight. Then the US with help from top secret CIA technology finally pinpointed him in this. >> That's the ghost member they're talking about.

All the physicists came out and said, "No, it's fake." The go they said the technology they used to save this guy is fake. Are any of them going to eat crow? Are any of them going to eat crow? Now we're watching footage of them rescuing the dude in the middle of the country. You think we just rolled up in there with no techn?

Yeah, you know what? Maybe we remote viewed it. >> Strike Iran's Revolutionary Guard forces nearby. After that, it was time to go back in for Bravo. We showed General Dan Kaine the video of Bravo's rescue and asked him to walk us through the mission. >> Oh, here we go. >> Well, we're looking at a feed from a intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance asset. That that means ISR chat. When you hear ISR, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, ISR, you got to learn the acronyms. Government has so many acronyms. That's definitely a helicopter, by the way, right there.

Just chilling. They blurred it out, but just chilling right there. >> It's 44 Bravo up there, I'm quite sure. And we've got two special forces coming forward. And it looks like they're bringing them out. >> Hell yeah, baby. In my understanding, this was about 7,000 ft up. >> It's pretty high >> terrain off to the right upper right side of this. >> And so the backseater scaled that mountain. >> You'd have to ask him, but I imagine Yeah, probably. So >> pretty extraordinary. >> That's what I would do.

You want to get to the high ground. You want to isolate the threat below you so that you can see and observe anybody that's coming to get seen by a drone. >> Make a decision on what you're going to do to evade them. And why in a in a image like this is this small helicopter? Why is that obscure that image? What is its >> Because I don't want you to know what kind of helicopter that is. >> Yeah. >> How stupid is this lady? What is it?

A blob. What is this blob here on what you're going to do to it? >> I got to do I got to watch it again. >> And why in a in a image like this is this small helicopter? Why is that obscure that image?

What is its >> Because I don't want you to know what kind of helicopter that is. >> Yeah. >> Because we retain We want to retain our most bespoke capabilities so that if the United States ever needs to use them again, we can. >> You don't want the >> There you go. >> Enemy or anybody else to see what that is. >> I do not. There you go. He says cuz we don't we want to be able to retain our advantage in case we need to use that again.

Why? cuz we somehow got behind enemy lines in a helicopter that I feel like any any advanced normally advanced technologically uh country can shoot down a helicopter. Can you imagine a helicopter getting all the way here to Minnesota? If Iran flew a helicopter over our entire country and it got to Minnesota and pulled a guy out and they flew back to Iran, you'd be like, "Uh, how'd we not shoot that down? It's a helicopter. It's not the It's like the easiest thing to shoot down there is.
