As summer blockbuster season kicks into high gear, big-budget action movies like The Avengers, Battleship, and Prometheus remind us that there's one thing that unites Americans: Our shared fear of an alien attack. They also remind us that when the invading space fleet arrives, humanity is not going to surrender without a fight to our intergalactic invaders. Instead, we will band together to fight off their incredibly advanced weaponry with our ... well, with what, exactly? Are we really ready to battle our would-be alien overlords?
Luckily, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, as well as some of the world's largest weapons manufacturers, are dreaming up the weapons of the future today. With the help of everything from lasers on jets to hypersonic planes to invisibility cloaks, we just might be able to make the battle for Earth a fair fight. You may think we're joking, but why else would NASA be uploading The Avengers to the International Space Station if not as a training manual? Here's a look at some of the most space-worthy inventions being cooked up now.
HIGH ENERGY LIQUID LASER AREA DEFENSE SYSTEM (HELLADS)
The official title sounds rather subdued, but don't be fooled -- this is an awesome laser beam. Currently in development at DARPA, these advanced lasers are being pursued because of their ability to "harness the speed and power of light to counter multiple threats." Weapons-grade lasers are actually a reality now, but are too big to be of use in an actual fight. DARPA, however, hopes to unveil a 150-kilowatt weapon that's light enough to attach to a fighter jet. Those will come in handy when the first sally of flying saucers emerges from the mothership.

Dear Ms. Parks and Mr. Keating,
With all due respect, the members of the Galactic Federation of Light and numerous galactic federations and higher dimensional beings throughout this universe would like you to know that they are already here and have been here throughout many periods of earth human history, and that their overall mission here as Lightworkers is service to planet Earth and her people. Many of these civilizations are humanoid just like us. However, there are some important differences for the newly awakened to understand:
Highly evolved beings do not resonate with lower emotions such as fear, anger, hatred, etc. Love is their primary guiding force, service to others is how they manifest this love. They wish us to know that we, too, can make quantum leaps in our evolution if we just embrace these simple truths.
Not only are they more evolved spiritually as a collective, but they are also light years ahead of the earth human technology-wise. They wish to share these technologies in order to free ourselves from the dependence of our current technologies which are wasteful and harmful to ourselves and all life including our living planet. They wish to share truths about how the powers-that-be have purposely kept us in the dark about advanced technologies such as were garnered from the reverse-engineering of crashed space craft in Roswell, NM in 1947. And, despite of the selfish gains made by our secretive government, and their desire to keep these technologies to themselves in the interests of "national security", the short answer to your question is a definitive, "No", the US or any other country still would not be technologically capable of fending off a negative alien invasion. Right now, our biggest job is to fend off the constant fear-mongering in our media, which continues to portray almost all ET's in negative light to further benefit the war and 'defense' profiteering that is engaged in such an incestuous fashion between our governmental officials and the major defense contractors who are raking in billions and billions of our tax dollars, once again, in the name of 'national security'.
Perhaps you might take a look at Dr. Steven Greer's website (cseti.org) as a starting place to research some ideas about ET contact and about the ongoing efforts of many who wish to see an official acceptance of impending ET disclosure. It is a difficult road we travel, as our politicians don't want to be seen with egg on their face when the truth is finally revealed, and the road is only made more difficult when we feed the flames of fear which are all but illusion.
Many Blessings to All, as All are One
