Hey, you brought it up (incorrectly).

In the article you forwarded a link to earlier today, we were told that there was a response from both Otis and Langley. We were told this within hours of the actual scrambling. I think Chip probably just has better things to do with his time than wonder about things that aren't true.

I wouldn't call this particular thing (out of all the things I've seen Chip do) an "attack" -- I'd use the word "debunk" ... but that's me. I for one am happy to see Chip's complaint, reproduced below:
>> Ruppert continues to plug the baseless story about a government

I've read that story, and it seems like a load of crap to me. What's in it for you to attack Chip saying that he thinks it's a load of crap?
Tell me: do you not think that article is a load of crap?

I haven't been keeping track. But your post this morning is clearly in the 'wrong' category. And it winds up, due to it's timing, depth of incorrectness, and narrow scope, looking like an attack on Chip under the guise of an appeal to let some people slide because (in your accounting) they are "more right than they have been wrong" ...

I think this question has been answered (to death) elsewhere, including in the breaking news story you posted this morning. Read it again for the full details. Short story: money. 10 bases had "ready alert" status; Langley was closest to DC, Otis was closest to NYC.

Are you now or have you ever been ...?

I think he's contributed quite a bit; you, on the other hand ...
