U.S. military is developing contingency plans

Toronto best place for spy satellite to land



Worried that a large spy satellite expected to fall to earth in late February or early March could hit North America, the U.S. military is developing contingency plans to deal with the possibility.

It calls for more than a mammoth butterfly net to catch the spy falling from the sky. “Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, who heads up U.S. Northern Command, told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the size of the satellite suggests that some number of pieces will not burn up as it re-enters the earth’s atmosphere and will not hit the ground. “We’re aware that this satellite is out there,” Renuart said. “We’re aware it is a fairly substantial size. And we know there is at least some percentage that it could land on ground as opposed to in the water.” “He added, “As it looks like it might re-enter into the North American area,” then the U.S. military along with the Homeland Security Department and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will either have to deal with the impact or assist Canadian or Mexican authorities.” Canada Free Press (CFP) wag Mark Smyth hopes the military will give helping Canadian authorities a pass if the satellite happens to be heading Toronto’s way. That’s Toronto, the North American city that was declared years ago a nuclear weapons-free zone by New Democrat Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton when he was a Toronto councillor? Smyth says a Toronto trajectory for the spy satellite is fine by him. “Since this American spy satellite is going to hit somewhere in North America, can we contact the American military and have them steer it toward Toronto,” Smyth asked in a letter to the editor. “Please send the co-ordinates to Mayor Miller’s office and make sure some of his favourite lefties are in a private meeting with him at the right time.” With waning interest in municipal government now that it’s been taken over by the socialists and apathy paving the way for the re-election of Toronto incumbent councillors, the populace could sure use the convenience of spies in the sky. Toronto citizens already know that colleagues have turned on Councillors Rob Ford and Doug Holyday for—not spending enough money, but it’s the chicanery in the dark that only spies can drag into the sunlight. The thousands of dollars in election funds of Coun. Sandra Bussin, that allegedly went to her family members charged back to the taxpayer and the use of City of Toronto paid solicitors to defend other councillors in a similar category could be really worth spying on.
