Lucifer Satan Statue behind MSNBC and Education Nation?

Prometheus at Rockefeller Centre, NYImage via WikipediaI will be posting a lot more on this, but I am very surprised that nobody seems to be talking about this statue behind MSNBC's Education Nation. It's constantly being showed World Wide on the News the past week or so. Yet, It's a statue and yet a Golden Statue of Lucifer.

I have a lot of information on this, and I'm a bit surprised that not many people even know about it.
I will post a few links here and will post a bit more on this very soon. I find it very odd that this is now our education of America. Not only that this should be making many mad. Yet I still hear nothing about it?

Take a good look at the links below. I will be posting even more on the symbolizm and history behind all this as well. Each symbol has its meaning and are meant to be exactly what it shows.
Here on National TV, The Lucifer Statue?



http://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/rockefeller-christmas.html
We see the same traits in those who are the chief disciples of the devil this day. They too are corrupted by the abundance of their trading. They seek to enrich themselves, and they esteem themselves worthy of a much higher position than that of other men. Even as Satan sought to ascend to the throne of God, so too do these men seek to ascend, placing the rest of mankind and creation under their feet.

The Rockefellers are Luciferians, championing this fallen angelic being as a bringer of wisdom and knowledge to mankind. Their esteem of Lucifer is revealed in the artwork found at Rockefeller Center.



















Prometheus Bringing Sacred Fire to Man

The statue of Prometheus bringing fire down from heaven and giving it to mankind, is one of the most evident pieces of art found on the Rockefeller Center complex. It is a re-telling of the story of Lucifer who offered to mankind the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. An Internet website shares the following commentary on this statue found on the Rockefeller property.


This statue depicts Prometheus, a Titan of Greek mythology known for his great intelligence. He has however betrayed the god Zeus by stealing fire and giving it to mankind. He is credited to have taught mankind the arts of civilization such as writing, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and science. Zeus then punished Prometheus for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.


Paul Manship’s sculpture featured in the Sunken Plaza of the Rockefeller Center portrays Prometheus holding the fire stolen from Zeus and gliding towards humanity. He lies inside a ring in which are outlined the signs of the Zodiac. Behind the statue is an inscription saying:


“Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends.”

Substitute the name Prometheus for Lucifer, and you will perceive the true substance of this monument. Lucifer was judged by God, not for a benevolent act on behalf of mankind. Lucifer’s fall actually occurred prior to Adam and Eve’s residency in Eden. It is described by the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 14:12-14
"How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'”

This complex of 19 commercial buildings is situated between Fifth and Seventh avenues in New York City and is famous for its Art Deco style. It is one of the last building projects in the United States to have incorporated a program of public art. The submissions chosen all fit a particular philosophy and some artists have been asked to change their work so it fits the theme of the Rockefeller center which is: Luciferianism.

Luciferianism

The Devil—Lucifer—is a force for good (where I define ‘good’ simply as that which I value, not wanting to imply any universal validity or necessity to the orientation). ‘Lucifer’ means ‘light-bringer’ and this should begin to clue us in to his symbolic importance. The story is that God threw Lucifer out of Heaven because Lucifer had started to question God and was spreading dissension among the angels. We must remember that this story is told from the point of view of the Godists (if I may coin a term) and not from that of the Luciferians (I will use this term to distinguish us from the official Satanists with whom I have fundamental differences). The truth may just as easily be that Lucifer resigned from heaven.
-Max More
luciferianlegacy
Modern Luciferianism takes its roots from Gnostic teachings as well as ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paganism. God of the material world is seen as a stubborn and sadistic figure who seeks to keep mankind into perpetual darkness while Lucifer is the savior of humanity by giving it the gift of knowledge. If we reinterpret the Adam and Eve story through Luciferian glasses, the serpent is actually the “undercover savior” who defied God and gave humans the opportunity to become gods themselves. He is credited to have unleashed man’s awesome potential.
For those who have really never known about the Satanic rituals and tricks used in Luciferianism. This may come as a shock or even unbelievable to many. That fact is this is very real. I'm actually shocked I am hearning nothing from the Churches about this. 
More infomation on all this will be posted very soon. So try to keep up.

Online ID Verification Plan Carries Risks using RFID Chip and Biometrics to get online.

Hand with planned insertion point for Verichip...Image via WikipediaMany people actually think this could be a good thing. Using Biometrics to prove who you say you are. Though on the outside this seems like a great idea. On the inside, this is no different than numbering the Jews to wipe them out.

Social Media climbs at extreme rates. People hacking sites and information are only making it even worse for the people who use everything honestly.

The general idea of RFID seems to reflect a very good idea to keep track of products and animals. But now? The Dream Act, Obamacare and several other bills passed are pushing the idea to track and have ALL personal information on a chip. Using things like eye scans or fingerprints, Facial recognition to prove who you say you are. Sound like a good idea? You may want to re think before you begin supporting this major issue everyone seem to want to ignore today.

http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-imf-report-us-dollar-needs-to-be.html

All online data is easily hacked. Not some, Security is mostly just word not reality when it comes to online hacking. This also includes everything we use today. From your Cell phone or what they call Smart phones, anything basicly with the word Smart is a tracking system. That's why its called Smart. Also, All your info on your phone is and can be hacked. GPS for location, Facebook and G plus for who you are and what you look like, Friends and family and so on.

http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/2011/03/national-chip-id-card-for-american.html

There is also, New cards with RFID chips that combine all this information and is stored in a database. Along with new cars, plugs to go into your car. (for better rates) so they say. Gaming devices that go online, All social media, and phone numbers, banking info and the list goes on and on and on. All this can and will be placed on these chips. All for the your safety as it's called.



What many people don't know is that anyone with an 8 dollar scanner can and will and have already hacked these chips and shows how easy it can be done. Yet, it seems most don't have a clue about this. You can do a simple search on this site using the Word RFID. I have several links on this show this information. I will also post a few here.

Now look at this article and think, Is this really a good Idea?

See the full article here.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/18/business/online-id-verification-plan-carries-risks.html?_r=1
Consumers who still pay bills via snail mail. Hospitals leery of making treatment records available online to their patients. Some state motor vehicle registries that require car owners to appear in person — or to mail back license plates — in order to transfer vehicle ownership.
But the White House is out to fight cyberphobia with an initiative intended to bolster confidence in e-commerce.
The plan, called the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace and introduced earlier this year, encourages the private-sector development and public adoption of online user authentication systems. Think of it as a driver’s license for the Internet. The idea is that if people have a simple, easy way to prove who they are online with more than a flimsy password, they’ll naturally do more business on the Web. And companies and government agencies, like Social Security or the I.R.S., could offer those consumers faster, more secure online services without having to come up with their own individual vetting systems.
If the plan works, consumers who opt in might soon be able to choose among trusted third parties — such as banks, technology companies or cellphone service providers — that could verify certain personal information about them and issue them secure credentials to use in online transactions.
Industry experts expect that each authentication technology would rely on at least two different ID confirmation methods. Those might include embedding an encryption chip in people’s phones, issuing smart cards or using one-time passwords or biometric identifiers like fingerprints to confirm substantial transactions. Banks already use two-factor authentication, confirming people’s identities when they open accounts and then issuing depositors with A.T.M. cards, says Kaliya Hamlin, an online identity expert known by the name of her Web site, Identity Woman.

The winds of war are blowing in the Middle East Ottoman Empire to Rise Again?

Foreign trips by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as Prime...Image via WikipediaAs the news continues about the Middle East. Being free from the dictators and fighting for freedom. I don't think people in America understand that its not the same type of Freedom that we have. This all goes way back to the ruling of Islam. Sure, is it a good thing they are free from that now? They only freed themselves from the Dictators not the Book of the Laws and what is required of them.
Remember the Ottoman Empire? This generation most likely don't. After all it was what began World War 1. As the Islamic World is rejoining themselves together. Many are so happy about all this. Finally Peace to come to the entire World?
The hardcore facts about all this is No! What the news don't like to talk about these days simply because they claim it's not politically correct is the Word Jihad! In other Words Holy War. The goal is simple. In order to usher in their next World Dictator. Or what they call Imam or messiah. The must first create the most bloodiest war mankind has ever seen. Not just in one or 2 countries but World Wide.
Don't take my words for it. Just read the Koran. Their Quaran is their book of Law. It don't matter who leads them. But the must obey that one book. The violence within what comes next should really be all over the news. But, again this is all not politically correct. The more I watch how we continue to support all this. The more I tend to see what the Prophets warned us about in the Bible.
Anyone remember Armageddon? Gog of Magog? These end times wars are set up through these exact countries doing exactly what they are doing now. Yet, I'm not so sure this generation has ever really been taught about all this, Has America actually been dumbed down so much that they cannot see what's right in front of their faces?
Those who know, see this. Those who don't? I'm just don't think they really don't care or want to know.

Thanks to the charismatic, talented, anti-Semitic and megalomaniacal Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey is attempting to return to its heyday, 93 years after it was kicked out of the Middle East. The Jews are its first step, but others await.

The author Herman Wouk, 96, will not be writing a sequel to "The Winds of War" but the winds of war are blowing in the Middle East -- most recently thanks to the charismatic, talented, anti-Semitic and megalomaniacal Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It is true that Israel should have agreed to the lukewarm apology Turkey demanded in exchange for Geoffrey Palmer’s report justifying the siege on Gaza. However, that step would only have slowed down, not prevented, the deterioration of Israel’s relations with Turkey.
Ankara is attempting to return to the spotlight and return to its heyday, 93 years after it was kicked out of the Middle East. The Jews are easy prey. But Erdogan also has his sights set on Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. They are all his, and have belonged to Turkey since the Ottoman Era.
Leaders like this emerge during periods of global economic crisis, with mass unemployment and historical imitation serving as a backdrop. Erdogan’s role model is Hayreddin Pasha Barbarossa (“Red Beard”), an admiral who controlled the Mediterranean Sea during the 16th century.
This requires Israel, before Europe and America and its neighbors in the Middle East, to prepare to defend itself according to the rule defined by its sages: “When chaos comes into the world, Jacob is the first to feel it.” Even if there is no violent confrontation, there will be no way to prevent a painful economic conflict.

Somali Convert to Christianity Kidnapped, Beheaded

A kidnapped Christian convert from Islam was found decapitated on Sept. 2 on the outskirts of Hudur City in Bakool region, in southwestern Somalia.

Juma Nuradin Kamil was forced into a car by three suspected Islamic extremists from the al Shabaab terrorist group on Aug. 21, area sources said. After members of his community thoroughly combed the area looking for him, at 2 p.m. on Sept. 2 one of them found Kamil’s body dumped on a street.
The kidnapping and subsequent manner of murder suggests that al Shabaab militants had been monitoring him, Christian leaders said. Muslim extremists from al Shabaab, a militant group with ties to al Qaeda, have vowed to rid Somalia of Christianity, and they control the area some 400 kilometers from Mogadishu.
A Christian who saw Kamil’s body said it bore the marks of an al Shabaab killing, according to a leader in Somalia’s underground church who lives in another city.
“It is usual for the al Shabaab to decapitate those they suspect to have embraced the Christian faith, or sympathizers of western ideals,” the leader said. “Our brother accepted the Christian faith three years ago and was determined in his faith in God. We greatly miss him.”

Saudi Arabia warns off US on Palestinian veto

Middle EastImage via WikipediaLets see do you think our so called fearless President will back down to this threat? Just food for thought. After the Arab up rise and the Middle East. Do you really believe they are all about Peace?

Many choose not to add religion to politics and claim the people are so peaceful. These same people never really studied the other religions from around the World. Their books are about Law. Not a type of worship.. Anyone studying History. Should really study all the History and the brutality that comes with all this mess.

If this article somehow surprises you. You might want to start paying more attention. This is only expected after all the up rises that's been going on the past few months now.
http://www.smh.com.au/world/saudi-arabia-warns-off-us-on-palestinian-veto-20110913-1k7rp.html
A FORMER head of Saudi Arabian intelligence and ex-ambassador to Washington, Turki al-Faisal, has warned that an American veto of Palestinian membership of the United Nations would end the ''special relationship'' between the two countries, and make the US ''toxic'' in the Arab world.
The warning comes as Washington is scrambling to avoid a scenario where it alone casts a veto in the UN Security Council against the Palestinian bid for recognition of statehood, which is expected to be formally requested next week.
The US is putting considerable pressure on the Palestinians not to submit the request, and on Britain - the only other permanent member of the Security Council that has not publicly supported the Palestinian request - to also exercise its veto if necessary.

Earthquake hits Nepal and India:6.9 earthquake strike off Alaska islands

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2038892/Earthquake-hits-Nepal-India-Girl-8-father-killed-British-Embassy-wall-collapses.html
  • Dozens injured as wall toppled outside building
  • At least 50 deaths as shock is also felt in India and Tibet
  • Mudslides block access to worst-affected remote areas
At least 50 people have died in an earthquake that hit large swathes of Nepal and north-eastern India.
The 6.9-magnitude quake damaged buildings and sent residents in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu running into the streets.
It struck at 6.10pm local time yesterday and was felt also across northern and eastern India and in the capital New Delhi.


In Nepal the government said seven people had died and more than 70 were hurt. Among the victims were two men and an eight-year-old girl, who were killed when a brick wall toppled outside the British Embassy in Kathmandu.
Crushed: Members of the Nepalese army gather around a damaged car after the wall surrounding the British Embassy in Katmandu collapsed

The full extent of the damage is not immediately known because the worst-affected areas are remote and sparsely populated. Parts are now cut off by mudslides triggered by the quake.
The quake triggered at least two aftershocks of magnitude 6.1 and 5.3, and more are possible, experts have warned.

Moderate earthquake strike off Alaska islands

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Two moderate earthquakes have struck off Alaska's Aleutian Islands but there were no immediate reports of any damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a 5.8-magnitude temblor struck at 11:14 p.m. Sunday and was centered near some remote islands about 1,000 miles west of Anchorage.
The USGS says a 5.4 quake hit about an hour earlier in the same general location.
Quake monitoring agencies say no tsunamis are expected and there are no reports of the quake causing damage.

Televangelist Juanita Bynum Christians Debate on Tongues Prayer on Facebook

A typical Western image of the Pentecost. Ducc...Image via WikipediaI found this to be a very interesting Story. Typing in Tongues? Whether or not it is possible remains to be seen. After all the Bible does tell us about every Idol word we say is held accountable. 

Matthew 12
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012&version=NKJV
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart[g] brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The issue of Tongues have been going on for many, many years now. In fact, all the way back to time the Disciples were in the upper room praying shortly after The Christ (Messiah) was crucified and rose from the dead while hundreds of people watched.
Many Churches throughout history try very hard to avoid Tongues in Scripture. Probably because many just don't understand it.

Simply put it's just your Spirit talking with God Himself all through the Holy Spirit, (The Comforter) through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ himself. (Still don't make sense?) Its an easy way for men and women to talk with God in words that we in our own language cannot describe. Yes, mankind does not have words for everything. Especially when it comes to spiritual things.

Take a look at what happened when it all started Acts 1
Read all of it here. (note this is only one of the books that speak about this.)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%201&version=NKJV

1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

As they continue on, This was asked

6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

The document continues on about what they were going through at this time, Many confused yet still waiting. Finally as the next chapter comes into play something happened. TONGUES?

Acts 2
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2&version=NKJV
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord[a] in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

When this happen many understood what they said while many others sat around saying they were all drunk and out of their minds.  (This has not changed in over 2000 years) 

Be sure to read the full chapter for more about what happened on this day. The key to all this is what happened here.  

41 Then those who gladly[g] received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

Today, Many still do there best to poke fun at those who speak in Tongues. Many churches ban this from being in there Churches. While many others believe it of the Devil. I've seen many try to teach all this by jumping around the Bible instead of reading the entire chapters as a whole. I'm not quite sure how anyone can tell what a whole book says by reading a couple of sentences from it. Yet this is the way they teach while many follow. 

Read the full chapters here. I cannot say whether or not we can type in Tongues. But, with God? All things are possible. My own personal thoughts? I think it's awesome. I love meeting people who speak in Tongues. This makes it much to know they do even ONLINE. 

I don't condemn them for it. But I do find it very interesting to see in an online community that loves the try teach us there is no God. This goes to show. God's people will do what God calls them to do now matter what you have to say about it. I love it.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/televangelist-juanita-bynum-raises-brows-with-tongues-prayer-on-facebook-54779

Pentecostal televangelist and self-professed prophetess Juanita Bynum has sparked curiosity among some Internet users and the Christian community for several comments on the minister's Facebook page where she appears to type "in tongues."

  • Pentecostal minister Juanita Bynum has raised brows over prayers posted on her Facebook page where the minister appears to pray
In a series of posts published on Aug. 17, on one of Bynum's many Facebook pages, the minister typed messages where it was believed by commenters and critics that the she was praying in tongues.

In the first message time stamped 3:57 p.m., it appeared that Juanita Bynum II, the account holder for the Facebook page, started praying for Zachery Tims, the Florida megachurch minister who was found dead in a New York City hotel room on Aug. 12:

GOD WE PRAY FOR THE DESTINY CHURCH FAMILY....WE PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH OF PASTOR RIVA TIMS....MIGHTY GOD...GIVE US STRENGTH.....WE ARE THE BODY THAT FEELS THIS PAIN.....WE ALL FEEL IT.....COVER THE MINDS OF HIS CHILDREN...GRAB THEM UP IN YOUR ARMS LORD JESUS......BE A COMFORT TO THEM.....YOU ARE THE MANY BREASTED ONE....

The prayer continued in a second post with the same time stamp:

YOU ARE THE ROCK AND THE SHIELD AND THE ANCHOR.......WARD OFF ALL THE VULCHERS...WHO WILL COME FOR GREEDY GAIN AND NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING IN THAT CHURCH......SEND THEM HELP FATHER...SEND THEM SPIRITUAL HELP THAT WOULD HELP TO HEAL THEM AND RESTORE THEIR LEGS IN YOU GOD!!!!!
Like us on Facebook
In the third post, published about a minute later, the "tongues" text started to appear:
GIRD THEM UP IN THE SPIRIT...GIVE THEM A MIND TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE....WE CALL ON YOU JESUS....YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!!!!NDHDIUBGUGTRUCGNRTUGTIGRTIGRGBNRDRGNGGJNRIC YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE....RFSCNGUGHURGVHKTGHDKUNHSTNSVHGN YOU GOD......YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!! OUR HOPE IS IN YOU FATHER......OUR STRENGTH FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS IS IN YOU FATHER......HELP US NOW......LORD WE DONT ASK FOR HELP FOR JUST THEM....THIS IS US....THIS IS A PART OF OUR OWN BODY.....

Several prayer posts with intelligible spellings continued to appear and visitors to Bynum's Facebook page began questioning the text.
Bynum's prayer posts soon caught the attention of the media, with one reporter at a spirituality and faith website speculating that the minister was communicating "in tongues."

On one prayer post, visitor Cindy McCraw commented, expressing her agreement.
"I believe it's tongues (holy spirit). It's called praying in the Spirit," McCraw wrote.
Another visitor to the page expressed disbelief.
"Are you typing tongues? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me," questioned Damita Stargell.

Since the prayer posts have appeared, visitors have been debating whether it was possible for a Christian to write or type in tongues, since the Bible only depicts those inspired by the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues.

Signs of the Times: Surveillance Watching the US?

RFID veterinaireImage by muscapix via FlickrMore info, on this subject that so many want to continue to ignore. The more it is, the more it becomes our new laws. Dictatorship and control moving forward and fast. Mostly, because nobody is fighting it anymore. 

http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2011/August/Big-Brother-Surveillance-Watching-the-US
WASHINGTON – Sept. 11 turned much of the West into a high surveillance society. And hi-tech devices could soon enable the government to track our lives more than we’d like.
Surveillance may not be at the level that author George Orwell wrote about in 1984, where “big brother” could see and control all. But experts say the tools are being forged to create such a world.
“We’re talking Little Brother now, and we're talking Big Brother down the road,” said Michael Ostrolenk, national director of the Liberty Coalition.



Scientific ID
Attempts to track terrorists and illegal immigrants have led to massive new efforts to identify people, using their body’s unique fingerprints, facial characteristics and iris patterns. A program called Real ID would marry this “biometric” information with a person’s driver’s license, making it easier to track.
“It would require all states to conform to national standards for your driver's license," Ostrolenk explained. "So it basically creates a national identity card.”
Visit the CBN Special Page: Sign of the Times - How Will it All End?
Amie Stepanovich of the Electronic Privacy Information Center told CBN News that many states are saying “no way.”
“Twenty-four states have enacted laws that say that Real ID will not be implemented in their state,” she explained.
Government Decides Who Can Work
The E-Verify system has also been proposed to boot illegal immigrants out of the American workplace. But both Ostrolenk and Stepanovich object to its overreach.

Laser–Machine Gun Mashup Tested on ‘Pirate Ships’

See the full article at the link below.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/lasers-versus-pirates

Now we know what the Navy plans to do with its experimental hybrid of laser cannon and machine gun: zap pirate ships.
Two defense giants, Boeing and BAE Systems, announced late last month that they would team up on a $2.8 million Navy contract for a prototype version of BAE’s Mk-38 25-mm machine gun with a little upgrade: a death ray. As the companies excitedly explained, the new gun would protect surface ships from pretty much everything, from enemy boats to small drones.
What the companies weren’t letting on was that they had already tested the machine-laser-gun a month before the announcement. And in tests that BAE — hardly an uninterested party — claims were successful, the new Mk-38 took on its most likely adversary: pirate skiffs.
In late June, the waters of the Choctawatchee Bay near Florida’s Elgin Air Force Base stood in for the Gulf of Aden, as ersatz pirate ships “swarmed” amidst dense “civilian” maritime traffic to harass a mock Navy “platform” armed with the laser gun. The enhanced version of the Mk-38 used its lasers to fix the enemy targets for bursts of machine gun fire, before switching up to laser mode to “defeat the targets” with a “high beam-quality 10-kilowatt laser,” BAE spokeswoman Stephanie Bissell Serkhoshian told Danger Room.
