What the Air Force Doesnt Want Us to Notice on Election Night
Leah Yananton
Much significance will happen at the end of Election Day, and a countdown will begin at 11:00 p.m. PDT on November 5th. While everyones attention will be on who our next president will be, the U.S. The Air Force will test-launch an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile with a dummy hydrogen bomb on the tip from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The missile will cross the Pacific Ocean and 22 minutes later crash into the Marshall Islands. The U.S. Air Force does this several times a year. The launches are always at night while Americans are sleeping.
This is what nightmares are made of between 1946 and 1958 the U.S. detonated 67 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands, and the result is that the Marshallese people have lost their pristine environment and face health problems. Our environment is threatened here as well. Not only did the Indigenous Chumash people lose their sacred land to Vandenberg Air Force Base, but also Americas Heartland presently has around 400 ICBMs stored in underground silos equipped with nuclear warheads that are ready to launch at a hair triggers notice. Named MinuteMen III, after Revolutionary War soldiers who could reload and shoot a gun in less than a minute, ICBMs not only put Americans at risk of accident, but they put all life on earth in danger.
ICBMs are not viable for national defense. They are a relic of a bygone era having been invented by Nazi Germany, and their presence only escalates the risk of nuclear accidents or conflicts.A single launch could lead to a nuclear exchange that would annihilate cities, contaminate the environment, and cause irreversible harm to our planets ecosystem. Once an ICBM is launched, it cannot be recalled. I dont want a nuclear strike or accident to happen. We can change course now, and our first step is to decommission the ICBM program also because it is a staggering financial burden to maintain.
The U.S. plans to spend over $1.2 trillion on nuclear modernization over the next 30 years, which means new, larger nuclear bombs and new, larger ICBMs called Sentinels that will need to be tested. This massive investment in outdated technology diverts critical funds away from humanitarian needs like healthcare, education, and healing climate change issues that directly impact our quality of life, and our childrens future.
I teach 4th and 5th graders Creative Writing. I adore childrens imaginations, but when my students were given the assignment to write about something important to them, they wrote lines that broke my heart. This is a wake-up call for us adults to face the reality we have made for our children.
Such a shame, a perfectly good planet, trashed. Claire, age 9.
What would you think about no nature in the world? No trees, no butterflies, no birds or bunnies at all! Most important of all, no people. There would be no technology, no schools, no history, no entertainment; everything we have worked for would be wasted. What would you think about a beautiful world that basically had nothing? I think I would absolutely hate it., Brynn, age 9.
Other than destruction caused by industrial global warming and by war, which the children are all-too aware of, this child does not know what actually could turn nature and civilization to nothing in a matter of minutes; she doesnt know about nuclear winter or how vulnerable we are to a nuclear accident. Most people dont.
The claim is that nuclear weapons are deterrents, but it is diplomacy that creates alliances and peace. Nuclear weapons only provide the terrifying threat of annihilation, either by command or by accident. Nuclear weapons and ICBMs only make the world less safe and strip us of security.
As the warring ruling class seems to be pushing for nuclear brinkmanship, on this election night let us not be distracted. By decommissioning ICBMs, the U.S. could lead the world in reducing the nuclear threat and encourage other nations to do the same. For the sake of our health, environment, and the safety of future generations, its time to scrap the ICBM program. We owe it to our children to invest in a future that prioritizes peace and sustainability over destruction.
As it is we the people who possess the right of self-determination, we must confront the material reality of our homeland and face what it will take to protect it. Do we have the courage to change our country for the better and ensure our futures? Yes we do, and now is the time to take action.
Only we, the public, can force our representatives to reverse their abdication of the war powers that the Constitution gives exclusively to the Congress, said Daniel Ellsberg, U.S. military analyst, economist, and author of The Doomsday Machine.
May we cancel this nightmare weapons program for once and for all and give our children the security that they deserve.

More privacy issues that will make you go hmmm...(Especially since Musk is in-bed with Mr.Trumpdt, so expect nothing to happen lol) !
In the news...
*An Investigation Exposes Data Brokers Using Ads to Help Track Almost Any Phone [theverge.com]
An investigation by a data privacy group has revealed a vast tracking network [Locate X] that can follow the movements of a persons phone," says Emma Roth.
The software is capable of showing the whereabouts of mobile phones on a map, allowing anyone with access to track someones precise location across state lines, according to 404Media. The information could then be used to figure out a specific phone owners identity."
*Kroger and Walmart Deny 'Surge Pricing' After Adopting Digital Price Tags [nytimes.com]
"Members of Congress are raising the alarm about new technology at supermarkets: They say Kroger and other major grocery stores are implementing digital price tags that could allow for dynamic pricing, meaning the sticker price on items like eggs and milk could change regularly," reports Sara Ruberg. "They also claim data from facial recognition technology at Kroger could be considered in pricing decisions."
*LinkedIn Fined $335 Million in EU for Tracking Ads Privacy Breaches [techcrunch.com]
"Bad news for LinkedIn in Europe, where the Microsoft-owned social network has been reprimanded and fined 310 million for privacy violations related to its tracking ads business," reports Natasha Lomas.
"Irelands Data Protection Commission (DPC)... found a raft of breaches, including breaches to the lawfulness, fairness and transparency of its data processing in this area."
*Exposed United Nations Database Left Sensitive Information Accessible Online [wired.com]
Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler recently found that "a database containing sensitive, sometimes personal information from the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women was openly accessible" online. "The 115,000-plus files related to UN Women included detailed financial disclosures from organizations around the worldand personal details and testimonials from vulnerable individuals." The UN has since secured the database.
"They're doing great work and helping real people on the ground, but the cybersecurity aspect is still critical," Fowler told WIRED. "I've found lots of data before, including from all sorts of government agencies, but these organizations are helping people who are at risk just for being who they are, where they are."
*Data Privacy Tips for College Students [usnews.com]
"As cybersecurity risks increase across industries, colleges which increasingly depend on apps and software for teaching, learning and operations remain valuable targets for cybercriminals and data exploitation." In 2023 alone, "U.S. schools and colleges reported a record-high 954 data breaches affecting 4.3 million records."
In light of this ongoing concern, "here are five practical ways experts say students can guard their personal information against potential data breaches":
Not clicking suspicious links in emails, texts, or apps to avoid phishing scams.
Using strong passwords and a secure password manager.
Using multi-factor authentication wherever possible.
Checking your settings to limit which apps can track your location and other sensitive data.
Backing up your data with a third-party data storage program, in case you get locked out of your accounts.
*Why Strava Is a Privacy Risk for the President (and You Too) [lifehacker.com]
Popular running and cycling app "Strava has an extensive set of mapping tools, which are powered by the data in its global heatmap. This is basically a map of the world with peoples running and cycling routes highlighted." Why is that a problem? Reporter Beth Skwarecki was able to "find the name and home address of a stranger," using only Strava data and publicly available information. And it's not just an individual issue; according to French newspaper Le Monde, "the app allegedly revealed the locations of world leaders via their bodyguards' Strava accounts."
In this piece, Skwarecki explains how to adjust your Strava settings so you can enjoy some of the app's benefits while preserving your privacy.

Well said Shawnee ! And here's something that would stir-the-pot in the US-of-A for sure, though, after seeing over the years the effects of social media on our host, perhaps this new law implementation is more than warranted...Hmmm indeed imo, read on, direct cut & paste from 1440...
Australia's Social Media Ban
Australian Prime Minister ( read President ) Anthony Albanese announced legislation yesterday to ban social media for children under 16. The proposed law, set to be introduced in Parliament in the coming weeks, would require platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X, to bar access to children and teenage users. There are no exceptions for parental consent.
If approved, companies would have 12 months to implement blocking measures or face potential fines. Albanese said the platforms would bear responsibility, with no penalties for users, arguing the ban is necessary due to social media's harmful effects on young people's mental health. Critics contend an all-out ban will not work and argue that social media is a valuable tool for social support.
About 95% of teens use some kind of social media, spending an average of 4.8 hours daily41% of high-use teens rate their mental health as poor or very poor. The US Surgeon General has called for tobacco-style warning labels on social media platforms.

I spend a lot of time online and with social media -- and I have since the late 1980's and I turned out fine! I'm a regular model of good mental health! LOL
As far as warning stickers -- well, I mean... that's just crazy.

I don't believe many of these kids can be helped. Parents got them devices to keep them busy and out from underfoot, pagers, cellphones, ipods, video games.... Grand theft auto game good for kids? How do they propose blocking them? At their friends day and night, sneak out windows. Millenials the worst gen, gen x, z whatever is better, smarter and proactive all around.

R1. They're, young, so they'll have a chance. All they have to do is find our hosts "Zoom web crawlers thread" & see the long-term effects. It will scare the shyte out-of-them, like it does me...
R2. Very true. But there's also a heap that wanted them & likely were paper-boys or whatever earning money to get these devices.
R3. It keeps the prison system in business. The "elite" have such a tight knit on us with surveillance, they have to develop ways to keep the prisons active in the future, since these people will be the ones that clean-up nuclear mess when the power-plants blow-up or take a shyte. And they're the front-line troops in war-fare. Vietnam was a way to empty-out these over-filled prisons at the time. Today, & in the future, they'll need refilling. It's big business.
R4. Since they know everything about us, including our age etc etc, they'll likely need a "digital signature" authorization to access at a guess...
R5. Ah, the good-'ol-days when you were a kid lol !
R6. Our host sets a poor example to that statement imo. He's gone, hook-line-&-sinker...No safe return...He forgets to write promised review about the latest Corvette in favour of chasing "Tweeters" all around the country that never, ever show up. Virtual-reality dependent. And at his age, too late to change possibly.
All you have to do, is participate in CE-5, learn the truth, & your whole world changes for the better.
Any group of beings, whether they're animals or whatever, when packed together as a group, you'll always have a few leading-the-way, & find most in the middle dawdling away, with a few that always get left behind...
You don't want to be left behind imo.

Oh, now we're gonna make pop-shots from across threads? How BenzWorld.org low can you go?
I'm willing to concede that Melissa Stetten opend my eyes to a very different area of the web/country for me -- outside of my usual forum and big-box social media. I've documented it because things aren't like they were back in the 1980's and 1990's!
You and Shawnee in here giving the youts a hard time about their exposure to modern technology -- growing up faster than ever! I won't even mention the kids (my own to be exact) who had to live thru that shit-show called COVID back in 2020 while they were both in their prime years of high school, with one having to attend a "Drive-Thru" graduation ceremony due to the pandemic! But you know what, they still got on! It sucked, yeah! For EVERYONE, young and old!
I'm not even entertaining your comments about my Corvette thread, considering you wouldn't even seen the sneak peek if it weren't for the very Web Crawlers thread you're complaining about! You say it's fake digital reality -- but if it's so fake, how do you explain the photos? Why are you busting my balls about the C8 Corvette thread? Don't you want to hear about the new ZR1 and the secret Zora Hybrid? Some of this information is just now getting out! My personal test drive and review is alive and well in my head, the thread has been in progress for awhile! It's coming!
But seriously... Do I go on a lot of vacations? No! Do I go on vacations for WEEKS on end? No! I'd like to think that I go on short adventures! Meeting someone from online, while there -- would just be a bonus! Clearly if I'm going to be far from home I'll try and make my short trip as memorable as possible! If I'm at home I'd do the same, but I'd much rather sleep in my own bed at night if I'm not going to be hosting guests. I write about my adventures so that when I get to be 96 years old, drooling and sh!tting my pants I can look back and say -- "You know, Shawnee and Rastus were right -- getting old is a trap! Fu@k them damn lucky youts living the good life and not even knowing it!"
lol

R1. The circumstance is fake. It's a distraction to keep you busy & your mind occupied on bollox, rather than the real goings-on in the world, & even that's faked by corrupted media.
R2. Because you promised a full revue over 6-months ago, & the new model can't be too far away...So you'll have to do it all again.
R3. I'd rather hear about the new Water Powered Toyota...But silence prevails...
R4. You're full of surprise decisions from time-to-time...
R5. You should if you can...Though I was of the opinion you have to stop work & hibernate over the winter months.
Hmmm...

This short message in from Dr.Salla that will make you go hmmm for sure !
qt."Aloha all,
I've been nominated to be an advisor to the incoming Trump administration on innovative technology on a public forum created by Robert Kennedy Jr. The public can vote on nominations.
If I was accepted as an advisor to the Trump admin on technology, I would inform them of what I have learned about exotic propulsion systems, secret space programs, advanced healing technologies, extraterrestrial and cryptoterrestrial life, etc., through my exopolitics research, interviews with hundreds of whistleblowers/Insiders/contactees, leaked Majestic documents, etc.
My mention among the top nominations shows the strong public interest in full disclosure concerning ET life, SSPs,( Secret Space Programs ) and ancient civilizations. Voting is still open to the public. Let your voice be heard.
Michael Salla, Ph.D.

* Roadblocks to Competition: Investigate Googles Non-Compliance with the EUs Digital Markets Act [spreadprivacy.com]
Today, we are calling on the European Commissionwe are calling on the European Commission to launch three investigations around Googles non-compliance with the following obligations under the EUs Digital Markets Act (DMA): Article 6(11), which requires Google to share anonymized click and query data; Article 6(3), which requires Google to implement choice screens and enable end users to easily change default search settings; and Article 6(4), which requires any downloaded search or browser app to have the ability to prompt users to set search defaults easily.
"The DMA created these obligations to address Googles scale and distribution advantages, which the judge in the United States v. Google search case found to be illegal," writes Kamyl Bazbaz, DuckDuckGo's Vice President of Public Affairs. "Regulators around the world should be looking at whats happening with the DMA, learn from how Google has been able to exploit its loopholes and circumvent it, and then take steps to make sure Google cannot continue to put up roadblocks in the way of progress and fair competition."

*Why the US wants to force Google to sell Chrome [theguardian.com]
The Department of Justice has said Google should have to sell off its popular Chrome browser as a part of the justice department's proposed remedy order. This is following a federal judge's ruling that Google is a monopolist. As Blake Montgomery reports, Google search is the cornerstone of the companys lucrative ad business; Chrome is the second stone. It is the most popular browser in the world, boasting a market share of almost two-thirds of people using the internet. It is an absolute vacuum of browsing data and a key gateway to Google search and therefore ads shown via Google search...The justice department says its goal is to increase competition. Its attorneys wrote in a court filing: "A remedy for Googles unlawful monopolization must simultaneously (1) unfetter these markets from Googles exclusionary conduct; (2) pry them open to competition; (3) deny Google the fruits of its statutory violations; and (4) prevent Google from monopolizing these and related markets in the future."

The reason: Elon Musk, Xs owner, suggested it." Why? "The hope is that if enough users feed the A.I. their scans, it will eventually get good at interpreting them accurately."
But what you post on social media isnt covered by medical privacy protections like HIPAA. "Its like telling your lawyer that you committed a crime versus telling your dog walker; one is bound by attorney-client privilege and the other can inform the whole neighborhood... Consider a PET scan that shows early signs of Alzheimers disease becoming part of your online footprint, where future employers, insurance companies or even a homeowners association could find it."

Some may remember the assertion from Mr.John DeSouza, (a former FBI agent) a little while ago, about the intended disbanding of the corrupt FBI in the near future. The interview I'm sure I linked-up in the UFO thread, as it was an Exopolitics interview with Dr.Salla. Anyhow, this next cut & paste article reaffirms that possibility, along with a few warnings attached too, so it's well worth the read through...
Hmmm...
December 4, 2024
The Trumpist Bureau of Investigation ?
Ron Jacobs
I want the FBI to be disbanded. Forever. Ive wanted this to happen since 1970. When the Senate hearings led by Franck Church revealed the extent of the FBIs (and the CIAs) infiltration of political and cultural organizations a couple years later, my hatred of the agency multiplied a hundredfold. That being said, I dont want the FBI to be replaced by a Donald Trump-run national police agencya TBI, if you will. For those who dont know and those who dont remember, Richard Nixon tried to remake the FBI in his image back in the early 1970s. He got very close to doing so. According to what Ive been able to parse over the years in my reading, conversation and other research, a big reason Nixon failed in turning the FBI into his own private police force was the presence of another powerful reactionary. That was the long time director of the Agency, J. Edgar Hoover, who only ended his directorship by dying.
So yes, Nixon tried to centralize the FBI, CIA, DIA and NSA under his command during his rule. Although the agencies were mostly in agreement regarding their targeting of the Black liberation movement, the antiwar movement and the New Left, it was a combination of Nixons paranoia and his fascist tendencies that convinced him to have one of his aidesa squirrely young right wing zealot named Tom Hustondevise a plan that would have consolidated all of these agencies under the direction of the White House. Nixon approved the plan on July 23, 1970 and it was rescinded five days later. Maryland Senator Charles McMathias, a liberal Republican (when there was such a thing) described what happened in a January 22, 1974 editorial in the Los Angeles Times: Many constitutional lawyers believe that for five days in 1970 the fundamental guarantees of the Bill of Rights were suspended by the mandate given the secret Huston plan, during those five days the plan was approved, authoritarian rule had superseded the constitution.
When Hoover downright rejected Nixons plan and convinced Nixon to give it up (one guesses this was done through blackmail and threats of various kinds), Nixon and his advisors came up with a Plan B. This plan still gave Nixon plenty of power when it came to directing investigations against his perceived enemies. It also resulted in the creation of the secret covert operations unit that would become known as the White House Plumbers. These men, all of whom came from the black ops sections of the CIA and other agencies, broke into offices, intimidated opponents and otherwise waged a mostly illegal war on the aforementioned targets opposed to the Nixon agenda. They were also involved in going after more mainstream personalities on Nixons personal enemies list. The original plan proposed by Huston included a set of contingencies that included the construction and maintenance of concentration camps in the US desert for leftists, Black radicals and others deemed national security risks.
Many folks in the popular Left movements in the early 1970s discussed the rumors we had been hearing about the camps. Some of the conversations were in jest, but all of them had a serious and ominous undertone. Living in western Germany at the time, where remnants and reminders of its recent Nazi past were everywhere, I couldnt help but be reminded of that past and its similarities to the police state unfolding under Nixon and his palace guard. When the investigations collectively known as Watergate began to uncover numerous illegal actions by the White House Plumbers, multiple police agencies, the FBI, CIA and NSA, those of us who were still involved in extra-parliamentary politics nodded our heads, confident that our instincts had been correct. Of course, the surveillance and black ops against the antiwar and liberation movements didnt stop for long. By the time Reagan had made it through his first year in the White House, things were more or less back to how they were in 1974. The difference was that a lot of the actions taken in the 1960s and 1970s by the police state were now legal, especially if the president committed them. This trend has continued. As for Nixon and Trump, the fact that Trump is serving a second term after being indicted for dozens of crimes and convicted of felonies in thirty-four instances kind of says it all. Fascism is more than just a rumor and is quickly becoming fact in the United States.
Which brings me to the Nazis and their Reich. Once they were handed power by the German chancellor and Bundestag, the Nazis and Hitler created lists of their enemies. These lists, called Sonderfahndungslisten (Special search listliteral translation), were lists of people who were to be arrested by the SS once the Wehrmacht annexed a country. The lists included citizens and (especially in Britain) European exiles from the Reich. According to the SS commander who composed the list for Britain, it included 2820 names. In an October rally in Wisconsin, Trump told the crowd he would go after what he called the enemy from within. According to various news reports, these enemies include Democrats, members of the media and numerous others. It does not include the millions of immigrants the Trumpists are hoping to detain and deport. One assumes they are on other lists maintained no matter who is in the White House. The effect of such lists is to silence the opposition. I fear this may already be happening among the liberal opponents of Trump.
Another aspect of Trumps return is his determination to decimate the federal bureaucracy as it currently exists; what trumpists like to call the deep state. This includes the Pentagon. The positions that would remain after this purge would be filled only with those loyal to Trump and his policies. Its reasonable to assume that if those remaining are not considered loyal, they will be replaced by others who are. In other words, the deep state would remain, except its allegiance would be to Trump and the forces he represents. One can see this already happening if they look at Trumps picks for his cabinet and staff. Some might argue that every president brings in their own people. This is only true to a point. What Trump is working towards is something more akin to what the Nazis called Gleichschaltung. As I wrote in 2017, when Trump first took power,
A historian friend told me that he did not believe history repeated itself. Bearing that in mind, I asked him if he thought it still had lessons for us to draw on. He answered, yes of course. Keeping that under consideration, I decided to take a deeper look at the rapid changes Donald Trump and his people are trying to put in place in the United States. As I began my investigation, it was announced that Trump adviser Steven Bannon had replaced a General and an intelligence chief on the National Security Council. In essence, this move is another attempt by the Trump administration to upend the traditional chain of command (the professional class, if you will), with ideologues from outside that class.
Upon hearing of this move, I was immediately reminded of similar moves by Adolf Hitler at the beginning of his regime. Known as the Gleichschaltung, this time period in the rise of Nazism involved (among other things) the replacing of various members of the German government with Nazi ideologues whose primary allegiance was to Hitler and the philosophy of Nazism. Essentially the process of bringing all elements of power, from the government to the military to the trade unions to the media, into line with the Nazi state, the Gleichschaltung began with the elimination of independent state legislatures. This was followed by the dismantling of trade unions, attacks on the independence of the churches (especially those opposed to the Nazis), the elimination of all political parties except for the Nazi party. In addition, the private militias of the Nazis became official state military organizations with the task of enforcing allegiance to the Hitler wing of the Nazi party.
Repeating the point I made above, and after looking at those Trump has selected to work with him beginning in January, its quite clear that the strategy of Gleichschaltung is what the trumpists are engaging in. Of course, not every element of the Third Reichs takeover will be replicated in the US circa 2025, but then again its not Germany in the 1930s.
So, yeah, I want the FBI to be dissolved. And the CIA, DIA, NSA. I dont want a new surveillance state under the direction of trumpists, tech bro billionaires and their companies, the Israeli intelligence industry or the local police. Unfortunately, the trend I detect as regards the contemporary surveillance state indicates that we will be getting exactly what I (and millions of others) dont want. Indeed, much of it is already in place and currently working. There are very few modern politicians from either corporate party that vote against the intensifying panopticon and even fewer who speak loudly against it. The corporate sector is on board and putting in bids to get their piece of it as I write. Given the ongoing privatization of public agencies, if the trumpists succeed in shutting down the FBI, one possible replacement might be a mostly privatized national police agency. If they dont succeed in shutting it down, one can be reasonably sure that the FBI with trumpist management would remove any agent, clerk, forensic expert, etc, not on board with the FBI becoming another tool in the trumpist vendetta against those enemies within that they seem to fear so much. Those FBI employees who are forced out would be replaced by fellow trumpists ready to do their leaders bidding. In other words, the Trump version of Nixons dream might be fulfilled...

"2 Navy pilots shot down over Red Sea in 'friendly fire' incident: Military"
The military said a full investigation is underway.
ByNathan Luna and Jack Moore

US ship shoots down US Navy jet over Red Sea in friendly fire incidentTwo U.S. Navy pilots were safely ejected from their F/A-18 fighter aircraft after it was mistakenly struck by the USS Gettysburg.
Two U.S. Navy pilots ejected safely over the Red Sea after their F/A-18 fighter aircraft was mistakenly shot down early Sunday in what military officials are calling "an apparent case of friendly fire."
One of the pilots has minor injuries, according to a news release from U.S. Central Command.
The guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the aircraft, that was flying off the USS Harry S. Truman, according to the news release.
The military said a full investigation is underway.
The U.S. Navy has been patrolling the region for over a year to combat ongoing attacks on commercial ships from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
Several hours earlier, the military said U.S forces conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility used by the Houthis and shot down multiple uncrewed aerial vehicles and an anti-ship cruise missile.
That operation involved the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy and included F/A-18 aircraft.

I wonder if it was a Phalanx CIWS that shot it down, and if it was in automatic mode or if a human made a mistake. If it was in automatic mode, why didn't it identify the plane as friendly.
Shawnee may have some input on this, the Air Force uses similar systems.

I would say most definitely a phalanx. We had them in AF but Navy has them on every ship. Kittyhawk, CV 63 had 3 of them. I was 6 feet from one when it went off and ripped a whole belt of 999 rounds. It was loud, I have a shell case right in front of me, my pencil holder. Awesome weapon, no one stands a chance. 3000 rounds a minute, 20 sec per belt. Bullets are depleted uranium, penetrate. Automated with very few cables going to them but I don't believe fully automated there is an operator involved. The phalanx is designed to target, then fire a 12 round burst. If not stopped it will begin shooting up the pieces. Very cool, looks like R2D2
Don't think it was an automatic no one involved shoot but an error. On the Kittyhawk they announced over 1MC (whole ship) they were firing the AFT gun but fired the midship one near me. When they were testing the Sea Sparrow rockets at a drone. Sposed to go to it, barrel roll around it. They drilled it. Yeah I was onboard 2 weeks total flight certifying time. All weapons, catapults, all systems tested after a 2 year overhaul. Squadron of various planes came from East coast, test planes. WE were off Calif.
Why do surface sailors err? 6 years working with both surface and sub sailors it became purely obvious. On a sub, ships force (sailors, officers) watched us, asked questions. On every single test of any equipment, even a pump one was there, was part of it and signed off on it. Surface sailors?? Pretty much disappear except to eat and sleep the entire overhaul, drink, whores, ya know. When we tested, they weren't there. Soooooo. Go to sea and try it out first time. Sub sailors are a different breed.
Most likely, last minute orders to stop a strike -- in 26 days there will be a new boss... and he's not the same as the old boss.
Hmmm...

Looking to clean up your digital footprint in 2025? An easy place to start is in your chats. "Messages that you sent on regular web apps like Slack, Facebook Messenger for most of its history, and Google Chat/Hangouts/Gchat are sitting on a cloud server somewhere. And while they're probably stored in an encrypted form to protect against theft, the platform itself has the keys to decrypt your data and would be able to comply with government requests for it, no matter how old the information is." It may not seem like a big deal, but "years and years of chat histories can paint a very detailed picture of your life, associations, political beliefs, and past movements and activity." If you want to save some of your chats for sentimental or other reasons, "consider downloading chat histories with your closest friends or other loved ones and storing them on an encrypted external hard drive before deleting them from the cloud."

I just picked up a new (to me) truck back in November... it's a 2008 Silverado w/ 4X4 and it has OnStar... It's not as hooked into the grid as these newer vehicles from 2020-up and especially any vehicle like a Tesla or other electric car with cameras for self driving -- but it's still jacked into the OnStar network -- complete with microphone. It does not have any cameras that I'm aware of, but I know with the OnStar it's more or less low-jacked with GPS -- this in addition to the built in microphone.
All my other cars are free from any such thing -- however since I carry a cell phone, it's more or less a pocket beacon with front and rear cameras regardless how old the car that I get into.

These claims about Musk will make you go hmmm for sure...Read on, cut & paste short update with mild editing for flow !
Billionaire Elon Musk is endorsing and threatening to donate millions of dollars to extremist parties around Europe from Nigel Farages Reform to Germanys far-right party, the AfD. But a simple change to election law would stop the richest man in the world from meddling in Europes democracies.
Democracy isnt for sale. Fix the rules on political donations.
Elon Musk just poured millions into electing Trump president, now he wants to buy the next UK election and he wont stop there.
Musk also endorsed Germanys extremist right party, the AfD. But if we act fast, we can block Musk from using his massive wealth to influence other countries elections.
The UKs election watchdog says a simple rule change would prevent foreign companies, like Musks X, from using their UK profits to make political donations.
Lets join the huge public outcry and push Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other governments to tighten the rules around political donations and save our democracies.
Reports say that the UK government right now is considering changing the rules. But Starmer wont act unless hes got huge public backing for this move, because he knows that there will likely be a massive backlash from the far right in the UK and the US.
And if Starmer takes a stand, other governments will be emboldened to follow suit.
While Musk and his cronies may have deep pockets, we have a massive public movement that believes democracy isnt for sale.
For decades, big business has tried to use its money and connections to sway the outcome of elections. We need political leaders to fix the rules and protect elections from corporate influence.
Tell UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and all governments: Change the rules on political donations by foreign companies.
Sign the petition
Thanks for all that you do,
Vicky, Eoin, Miriam and the team at Ek

George Kavassilas was on Exopolitics recently with 2 x podcasts produced. I'll watch-them-first, & then maybe link-up in the UFO thread. But on the basis of these mystery "Drones" that everyone is seeing, here's his reply on what they are, from my mailbox, dirct cut & paste...
Hmmm....
Mystery Drones and President Trump Working with the Galactic Federation
George Kavassilas Interview Part 1
George Kavassilas is an extraterrestrial contactee and secret space program participant who explains the four different kinds of craft that make up the mystery drone phenomenon appearing worldwide. He describes the first category as spacecraft belonging to multiple extraterrestrial civilizations. The second category is exotic craft belonging to corporate-run programs using reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technologies. The third category is advanced drones used by Earth militaries, while the fourth category is commercial drones used by the general public.
Most startling is Kavassilas revelation that Donald Trump is working with the Galactic Federation of Worlds to build and release advanced technologies that the Deep State has suppressed for decades. Trump will be allowed to make the US the manufacturing hub for exotic technologies that will usher in a galactic age for global humanity and likely lead to him becoming the Earths first President.

It's possible Sir, there's been so-much activity going-on-here it's not funny...
Lots of people visit here, but I have likely a few-more-years to go before I'm working in a frequency-range where I can communicate with them person-to-person. Until then it's light-codes from their cruise-by's & dowloads onboard craft during sleep.
My problem is I spend too-much-time trying to get others to join-in-too. This keeps my vibrations down...eg, Look at how I had to treat our host in the LT thread...I had to lower myself to ass-hole status to communicate. The idea is raising yourself up from those low vibrations.

Recently I jumped in vibrations also, very perceptible one. Make it even more difficult to deal with some people but we are supposed to, and to help them. How do you assist people who don't want any help and wholeheartedly believe anything they are told as the truth? And just plain ignorant people, narcissist's, gluttons, greedy.... Kicked a friend out my life recently, at 65 he is 12 with ADHD. Sucessful with computer programming, scams etc. Canadian, never paid taxes, ever, wife kicked him out so he is somehow getting $600 a month of HER SSI. How? What did it though we went somewhere, a healing energy center that had a healthy veterans discount. 2 hrs reg $100 free, half off the rest. He told them he was a veteran, they don't check like most places. That's stolen honor which set me off. Later I realized besides being a child he constantly lied for money, greed. I told him wear a shirt says "will lie for money"
Like I have mentioned I believe in all this, but it's from our own "realm", there is no outerspace. Everything is under a firmament (72 miles in the center) as God says in Genesis and and even Von Braun acknowledged the firmament. You know, the one we can't get thru, the one scientists are studying "sky ice" from, the Byrd expedition "high jump" planes that crashed into what appeared to be blue sky, or the earlier "operation deep freeze" 1955 where the firmament was discovered, lat and longitude helght noted, and removed from all text books and encyclopedia, everywhere in 1959 after NASA became NASA in 1958 . 1958 Britannica and Americana had it, I have it photographed.
Braun knows nothing can get thru it, majority the world knows it. "operation fishbowl" (firmament, inverted fishbowl since they knew) they tried to nuke it, starting 1957 or 8. Hillary- "we haven't shattered that glass ceiling yet but there are huge cracks in it." They heal as scientists found by trying to use a tunnel borer to get thru. 6 miles in the crew walked out, borer trapped, tunnel growing back.
The craft and "aliens" are from the other side of the ice wall. Which because of the lands there BYRD talked of is "extra terra", people may be called extraterrestrials. And the space on the other side, "outer space" Look at a 1000 year old map from the Buddhists. Those land masses have names. There is a Venus, Mars, Thoth....
Von Brauns head stone. Psalm 19.1, the heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handywork
Good post Shawnee. Too-bad about your friend, though that's the way the dice roll sometimes. The gov't over-here have my hands-tied behind my back, but that's a small price to pay for delivering the truth as best you can about nukes, COronaVIrusDisease2019 & our ET family. State-side you seem to be eliminated, over here, you're tortured instead...
As for the "flat earth" synopsis, I've given it some thought, & I see it like this...We have choices on how we can see things...
1. Imagine a very soapy water solution in a bowl...( This is earth per-se )...
2. You then insert a kids bubble-maker-wand into the solution & pull it out.
3. From here, you have a choice at looking at the wand as having a flat film of solution ( flat earth ) stretched across its round circumference, or you can blow some bubbles through it, & see the solution now as spheres ( round earth ) floating away.
4. Both choices still refer to the soapy water solution / earth.
I tend to think that if ones intentions are bad like nuking the place, the flat-earth scenario presents itself to these folks, whilst the ascention / self-mastery / peaceful ideals open-up the round-earth / sphere perspective.
Also, knowing that our whole solar-system is moving through a different part of the galaxy & everythings vibration is increasing as such, we've been warned well in advance to expect difficulties such as mood-swings, people freaking-out, & major earth changes etc etc...This is why the crystals work so well at keeping you grounded, as they absorb & adjust with the varied frequencies automaticly, & when you work with them, they help you with the necessary adjusting, to keep yourself balanced.
Some folks were meant to listen & learn, then share the news where possible, whilst others were not meant to.
It's better to think like a set of old-school-scales, where for-sure the weights are now in a positive tell-tale, but you still need the negative as a counter-force.
Light cannot exist without darkness. The two need each other.
There's some good information about Thoth available, & his implications. From what I've read, he's incarnated a few times imo that I can identify with, namely as Ra from the Law-of-One books ( awesome reading ), & perhaps in more recent times as Christian Rosenkruez from the late 14th century, as the alleged founder of the Rosicrucian movement. Whether this is true of not doesn't matter, the core philosophy remains the same, & that is what remains as truth per-se. It doesn't matter who you hook-up-with, the teachings are the same, & that's the critical thing.
All are conduits for spirit to work through, just like everyone is if you let it.

"We have choices on how we see things" is right. Here is an example of how 2 people see something different. Lets talk say a transwoman. Some see her as a fine looking woman. Others see her as a guy in a dress with a dick. Does one prefer the truth or something pure fictional and in the blue marble spinning 1039 mph, circling the sun 66,600 mph and following the sun thru the milky way at 500,000 mph AND NEVER EVER proven, not once. That's 12 million miles a day following the sun. Does the scenery change if you drive 1000 miles away? Yes it does. Why is the north star always in the same place, every single year all constellations are in the exact same place. (because what God said,"the earth cannot be moved"), it's flat and stationary, even NASA says it.. Google "nasa reference flat earth" PDF so can't cut paste but you can read it, intoduction, 2nd para then keep going NASA repeats "flat and stationary" in every one.
so we "travel" 12 million miles a day! 4,380,000,000 a year. 299,600,000,000 in my 70 year life. That's alot of miles, yet the sky never changes, constelations never change cept the usual 1 year rotation but right back where they always were.
Made up by NASA. Govt, all countries in the UN treaty on Ant. Note NASA formed 1958, in 1959, the "deep freeze" expedition 1955 discovery of the firmament was removed AND UN treaty was signed 1959. Imagine, all those countries, cold war, can't decide or agree on anything, all agree we can't go there??? Lot going on with nasa. Never been to the moon, first no interest now lost technology and all at a measly $75 million a day budget. Just to lie to you.
WE can't go there. There is trade going on outside the ring. Watch ship trackers. Huge ships, one Chineese 500 meters oal WAY out in the "ice", summer passage. Heard about Kirabati? Tiny atol, sand bar. US and China have given them billions, big ships stop there.
I mentioned the UN flag once, you said it was "easier to portray the flat earth map on a flag. How so, both maps are 2 dimensional images, makes no difference at all. BUUTTTTTTTT Have you seen in the UN? There is a huge circular desk, on the floor covering all the floor is another 2 dimensional flat earth map. BUUUTTTTTT 2! On the wall is a huge 3 dimensional map of the flat earth, with ice ring aka Antarctica AND some of the lands outside the ice ring I had mentioned.
Have you been to the Flat Earth Park in Sydney? Time for another cosmology of the earth thread! One biblical, one proven science. Yarrrrr?

3.Biblical, one proven science. Yarrrrr?
R1. I've been to Sydney a few times, but not for 20-years or so now, & no, not to the park. It's tricky & very costly to travel around there too, with you needing pre-paid-tickets ( e-tags ) to use through-fares, or you get large fines lol ! It is a nice place however imo.
R2. That's up to you Sir. The ability to traverse the universe resides in everyone, you don't need any space-craft. It's an inate gift that needs activation. I'll let Mezreth explain, read the next post in there...- ( eg, We have 12-strands of DNA, but only 2 are activated...The ET's are helping in the reactivation of the other strands, but you have to earn & work for it. We don't want or need dodgy-folks being activated & becoming powerful beings, or matters may get worse rather than better. Tell-tales here indicate that dodgy people are remaining ignorant, so we're safe yo ).
R3. I suggest that most folks know that the bulk of the holy-books from whatever tradition, whether Christian, Jewish, Moslem or wherever have been doctored to suit an agenda of the priestly-caste, to become the middle-man for everyone, & keep-us under control.
What they all have in common is Pineal Gland activation, as witnessed by holy statues & artifacts...This allures to the same program to keep us all enslaved. You'll see the "pine cone" everywhere within religious paraphernalia, regardless of what religion it is.
This of course leads us to the Rainbow & its colours, that then lead us to the 7 main energy centres that are active within everyone & can be tapped, cleared & enhanced for a better equality of life. This is essentially what the ET's & other light-beingswould have us rediscover, & get on with relinking with Spirit. Look at my avatar on the left, it says-it-all. And even this is not necessary, though worth pursuing for the discovery.

Here you go folks...Here's a set of images randomly picked with pine-cones cleary represented, indicating pineal-gland-awakening, as decreed by most religions around the world, indicating the one & the same god...
Mesopotamian, what's he holding ???
Angor Wat...Sure looks like a pine-cone-temple to me, how about you ?...
And here's Dionysus, what's that on top of his staff I wonder ?...
And this statue resides within the walls of the Vatican...
Hmmm....
There's other attachments too, but you'll have to log-in to view for some reason, namely Lord Shiva, Lord Buddha, & an old FreeMason building, all with pine-cones somewhere to find.
