The article titled A “Smart Defense” for NATO is an “Invincible Defense” coauthored with former German NATO officer Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Gunter Chasse has also been published in Red Star.

The original English version of the article is available at: http://www.redstar.gr/Foto_red/Eng/Innovative_Ideas/SmartDefense.html

A Greek translation titled Για το ΝΑΤΟ μια « Εξυπνη Αμυνα» είναι μια «Ακατανίκητη Αμυνα» is available at: http://www.redstar.gr/Foto_red/Innovative_Ideas/SmartDefense.html

The Russian version of the article titled “Умная оборона” для НАТО – это “Несокрушимая оборона” is available at: http://www.redstar.gr/Foto_red/Ru/Innovative_Ideas/SmartDefense.html

A “Smart Defense” for NATO is an “Invincible Defense”

Article coauthored by former NATO officer Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Gunter Chassé and Dr. David R. Leffler published in Analysts For Change, (Greece), Codewit (Finland & Nigeria), News Now (Greece), GeoPolitics & Daily News (Greece), The Oslo Times (Norway), The Liberian Dialogue (Liberia), and The Balkan Chronicle.

The authors argue that “NATO leaders today have the option to consider and adopt a new, surprising, and scientifically-verified method to reduce such stress. It is called Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) and has absolutely nothing to do with bullets, bombs, or killing. In fact, it has the potential to diminish the role of these approaches in the provision of national and international security.”

Latin American Leaders Will Soon Command Invincible Militaries — Article by Dr. David Leffler published in the Weekly Blitz and Sylhet Times. The article explains that if the military of South Korea would deploy Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) they would harness the unified field which “…is a thousand million million times more powerful than the nuclear force…” Nine Latin America countries are expected to their IDT defense systems fully operational around the end of May 2012. The author suggests that this “…IDT development may have far more historical significance than the United States military’s Manhattan Project quest to develop nuclear weapons.”

Thinking North Korea into Peace • Just put your minds to it — Article by Dr. David Leffler published in the China-based Asia Sentinel.
