Default United Nations plans to protect Earth from Asteroid attack

They must know something, but they don't want to tell us. Why would they
do this all of a sudden unless were were in imminent danger?

Experts consider ways to protect Earth from asteroids

"UNITED NATIONS - The countdown begins next week for the United Nations to
take on the task of saving the world - not from the usual scourges of war,
disease or poverty, but from an asteroid attack."

The United Nations isn't even capable of agreeing on what to have for lunch,
let alone how to save the world. But I wish them luck...

It has been in the news. Part of the reason why the movie
Armageddon was made. Where have you been? Search for:
asteroid apophos
.... and others to be announced.

Why would they do this all of a sudden unless were were
in imminent danger?


Because they don't want the US, Russia, or China officially
unilaterally putting nukes in space. Their idea of a "gravity
tractor" is a joke... I hope for the sake of my children they
have a better idea.

Mentioning the "UN" and "a better idea" is an oxymoron.
