"Apparently we're at the point where they're hiring writers from the Babylon Bee to make up their cover stories." —radiasian

The F35 is tracked by hardware that the pilot cannot turn off. It is tracked constantly by ground and satellite radar. It can be flown remotely. It is impossible that the pentagon does not know exactly where this plane is.

But they want you to believe that the world's most advanced military is so incompetent that they lost one of their most advanced jets because: 1) demoralization, America is in decline and you feel it in your bones. 2) When America's military - the most expensive in the world - is defeated on the contrived global battlefield, everyone will nod sagely and say: "well they're too stupid to be stupid, we lost our tech to the Chinese." And the new world order/one-world-government that is waiting in the wings will swoop in right on cue and no one will bother fighting back. Don't fall for it. All the world is a stage.

This makes sense...but are you sure our best and our brightest are on this one? I see what you're saying that it probably is a psyop to demoralize us and rush in the NWO, but I'm just not so sure it's an act. I think we really do have the dumbest people in America running it.

You make a good point Jen, but they cannot not know where it is. From Jz3rohedge:

"I'm not sure what angle they are working here but I assure you, they know exactly where it is. How do I know this? I worked for Lockheed and I know what that platform has that enables it to be tracked and it's a whole lot more than a transponder."

Exactly. Just they didn't know about those so called Chinese spy balloons. We've had the technology to track anything in our airspace after the 1941 Japanese Fire Balloon incident in Utah.

The USA’s ability to control the F35 remotely should be a reason for other States not to purchase this plane!

This is a very good point. The Russian might have the more reliable, dependable and smartly affordable fighter aircraft. Only a guess ... and I would love to hear knowledgeable comment on whether or not this is true and/or the pluses and minuses.

Honestly though… after what just occurred in Maui… and learning how we have the ability to use military satellites for directed energy weapons-do we even need fighter jets anymore… they almost seem like obsolete tech

Expand full comment

Who is John Cena and why should we care?

Expand full comment

Well, whether or not you care is up to you Vonu. At least for now.

He is a wrestler turned actor who forgot who buttered his bread... or rice by mentioning something about Taiwan that the Chinese didn't like. He was made to realize it and issued a long form apology is Mandarin so all the appropriate people would see and understand. He is, to me, roughly equiv of a goofy dog with two ex's over the eyes. All movies he is in I will not pay for, I will not watch. You asked. Unless it was not a real ask and it was something else. In which case you deserved the long explanation. I could also say he is a sell out with no sense of integrity. You know... an actor.

Expand full comment

Professional wrestlers are very adept actors if they want to succeed because they have to be ale to look like they are being brutal while they are being very gentle. Most television and movie fans fail to understand that almost everything they see is acting, from the talking heads that read well-rehearsed TelePromTer scripts to the heavily edited characters on reality television. When the names of the actors in a movie are well known to me, I am more likely to avoid seeing the movie because I will tend to remember the last thing I saw them in and ruin their current role. I spent too much time as a motion picture theater projectionist and sound engineer to be able to ignore every imperfection in the presentation. The biggest deficit in radio news is microphone use, leaving most sound pickup as lousy sound pickup. Windscreens and short shotgun microphones are endangered species outside of the studio.

Naomi Wolf made this point in reference to Biden's gaffes and Harris's gibberish. It is on purpose to undermine our credibility. Perhaps that explains Biden's appointment of 'his blue-eyed boy' as ambassador to India.

She's right, it's an orchestra of deliberate follies with a conductor and his baton. When America falls everyone will be sure they know why because it will be so obvious. The problem is that it's a stage play - the ultimate Tragicomedy mockery.

There is more. Here is the last:

“And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion;

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”

So apropos

Well said, thanks for sharing. I totally agree, there is no way that they don't know exactly where this plane is!

We are relying way too much on technology which can go wrong, can be hacked, etc....

Climate Change could have disabled the tracking capabilities.

Expand full comment

Yup. Cuba seems its most likely landing spot.

My 1st take was EW. Russia has already on multiple occasions rerouted drones.

What is the range on those things? 🤔

Expand full comment

Off the top of my head, relatively short. But that is my the ones we know something about. Whatever it currently is, they are certainly testing longer range models.

And there is nothing that says it wasn't via tech exchange with China, who could have the more advanced versions.

Just remember that all of the Pentagon's hardware was built by the lowest bidder, which wanted to sell more of them, justifying getting rid of them as quickly as possible.

Expand full comment

Do not doubt that, but the tracking of this $135,000,000 jets have multiple layers of redundancy built in both the inside and outside. In order for this plane to vanish all of these independent systems would have to fail in unison.

Expand full comment

Maybe it got more invisible going from $80 million to $135 million per.

Wait....I thought the entire government always went with the HIGHEST bidder....

It really doesn't matter which bidder they go with when they all have cost plus contracts with no intent or capability to contain any costs.

Expand full comment

Pratt and Whitney lied about the lifespan of the F35's engine. Resulting in a fraction of them being air ready at any one time.

Expand full comment

What bothers me the most is the wingman didn’t stay with the plane. Once the pilot ejected, the wingman should have made the call... both about the pilot ejecting and what was going on with the plane. The F35 was not out there alone.

Expand full comment

Supposedly the transponder wasn't on and they didn't know why...would work into it being hacked if that was really the case.

Expand full comment

I believe, TriTorch ,that the F-35 is more stealthy than you assume. This, and many aircraft can 'shut off' their transponders and disappear from tracking radar. After all, that was one goal of the platform, be invisible. Whether the pilot or some other source 'flips the switch' I do not know. Granted, a transponder is only one way to identify and track an aircraft, or a ship at sea for that matter. I would hope there would be other military means of monitoring aircraft, satellite, airborne command aircraft, and of course the wingman aircraft. Lots of questions there. A sure way to know if fighters are operating in an area is to monitor refueling aircraft, fighters are like an Indy race car, they need fuel often.

Expand full comment

Well, there you go. The test mission was to see if they could actually lose the plane, thereby confirming its stealth. It was a win!

Expand full comment

The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The epitaph for this US Empire will be “We have met the enemy and he is us”. God’s judgement.

Expand full comment

Like all empires before us, Oh how the mighty have fallen. But you know what remains? The people. The people, the culture and their faith and traditions. Governments by their very nature always reach a point where they are unsustainable. But the people remain. There is always a future.

The end of all things is not the end of a government. It is the end of an order that Jesus, Peter and John in Revelation warned the early church about and saved them from: the judgement of God upon an apostate generation with the end of the Old Covenant and the beginning of the New Covenant in Christ's sacrifice.

So be of good cheer in the knowledge that our Lord ascended from the grave and sits on the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign forever. Thus we have the assurance of a future where God's grace is always with us and He who sits on the throne always intercedes for us.

Fetterman thinks the movie Idiocracy is a how to video. 🙄

Expand full comment

My specific reference was to the "elastic pants" episode, where George "gives up". But upon reflection, a deeper layer is that our legislative branch has clearly become a marketing tool ... in my opinion, they are clearly allowing the dress code change to prop him up as the next Manchurian candidate to appeal to younger or marginalized voters ... (though, ironically, we're all marginalized voters because does legal voting really change anything? Rules are only for those who follow them.)

Fetterman (and his wife) are open medical marijuana "patients", also advocating to legalize recreational marijuana use, he dresses (very) casually ... like many GenZ and Milennial side-hustlers ... rejects/suspects the "American Dream" idea of generational success ... even though his "wealthier" parents bankrolled him well into his 40's ... his wife is/was an undocumented immigrant. Like, it's all clear to me, maybe because I'm a marketer, maybe because I also live in Western Pennsylvania, and I've seen the sham first hand. But clearly, the legislative branch is the marketing arm for a select few "at the top" and Fetterman is their next tool. pun intended

Expand full comment

Since you're more familiar with him, can you tell me if his ears used to stick out more? I thought they did, and I wonder when they suddenly didn't (possible with plastic surgery). And his speech seemed too fluent, compared to before, but perhaps he has slowly recovered. Finally, mustaches conceal a lot about a man's mouth and lips, as is obvious if you've ever known a man who had one for a long time but then shaved it. Has Fetterman ever had one before this recent version? I thought the claims about it no longer really being Fetterman were over the top, until watching this clip. Has anyone noticed if he walks the same?

Agreed. Pretty obvious, ears don't stick out enough, head not pointy enough. I could tell he was acting with his jibberish. The " real " one has more authentic speech....stupidity.

I doesn't look like him. This guy looks younger, not as pasty, the ears don't stick out and the other Fetterman had a very oddly shaped head as well as long arms and huge hands.

With the Ukrainian flag flying alongside the US flag? Isn’t that traitorous? Also have you noticed that so many people don’t give a hoot about how they look & dress?

OK, a few days ago I said I'd never seen anything in the night sky in 50 years I could not identify. Well, it happened last night. I was walking outside because it's finally a decent temp here in Ohio and a little string of lights started marching across the western sky to the east. They did not blink and were almost perfectly spaced from each other. I counted 18. I knew right away they were not planes or anything natural and most definitely were not stars, although they were about as bright as the stars in the Big Dipper. After some fast internet research, I learned these were Elon Musk's SpaceX satellites. Apparently the purpose is to have every person on earth have instant access to the internet.

The Final Battle of a War Unseen Fritz Freud

'You see STARLINK is the problem but it doesn't belong to Elon Schmuck anymore.Elon Schmuck gave control over the STARLINK Network to T-Mobile / Deutsche Telekom which is controlled by Ori Cohen who is a member of the UNIT 8200 Alumini and a Member of the Mossad.

Israel controls Starlink.

But this isn't the only problem... Israel also controls your car!

Ask yourself this: Why would a country that has no car production industry have the interest in car cyber security?

Because their (Unit 8200 Mossad Israel WEF) interest is control.

..Argus Cyber Security is an Israeli automotive cyber security company. It was purchased by Continental AG in 2017, for $430 million. In October 2017, Argus added a solution to enable OEMs to deliver over-the-air vehicle software updates.

The company was founded in 2013, by Ofer Ben-Noon, Oron Lavi, and Yaron Galula, three ex-soldiers of Israel's Unit 8200. The Argus management team includes former employees of Daimler, Fiat Chrysler, and General Motors.

Argus Software is already in over 65 million cars (their Number) and probably in 90% of all cars on use today.

https://argus-sec.com/

Why is that importantUnit 8200 is a State controlled advanced Hacker Unit for Cyber Warfare.Meaning they control your car and if they don't like you, you will have an accident!Are you someone who is not in line with their politics and openly criticizes them?Are you labeled a terrorist by them?

Get into your car and they can take you out! So easy.

Imagine if Adolf Hitler had that power... Israel is Adolf Hitler!

If they can update their software on your car remotely from any point to anywhere, they can create an accident for any car anywhere at any time.

And they can now for they have STARLINK.

STARLINK is not fully operational yet and it better never be.

Right now there are less than 10% of the STARLINK Network in Operation.

When fully operational they reach every corner of this world so there is no place to hide.And just to let you know... this software is already in your car installed without you ever knowing it.It is also on your Android phone your Iphone your smart watch your smart appliance.They won't tell you.This is how evil them who must not be named really are..And it doesn't end there.Read this Article from my Friend on Smart Cities:

It is called the Internet of things.

But keep in mind that they leave one small but important factor out of the equation... YOU!The Technology they use to connect Humans to the Internet is called NEURAL LACE, self assembling Graphene Nanobots that measure control and reprogram your EEG i.e. Brain waves.

There was a video put out recently that makes the case that the fires on Maui may have been caused by Chinese satellites.

The whole F35 fiasco is quite suspicious. Your speculation reminds me of a book I read a about 5-6 years ago that I *highly* recommend: Future Crimes, by Marc Goodman. Even working in the tech industry most of my 40 yr career, and know tech is a double-edged sword in so many ways, this book was incredibly eye opening - riveting and terrifying read at the same time. I literally put it down 3 times, thinking, “I don’t want to know anymore.” But also thinking, “Boy, I’m glad I’m old - I hope I’m dead before all this stuff becomes reality” Well, since reading it, a lot has happened already, but it’s only the beginning. It changed how I look at EVERYthing. Don’t let the published date put you off, the book is incredibly relevant now.

Having said all that, I just found a full pdf of the book online. Read it, everyone!! Just like the realities of Covid/jabs, ignorance is not bliss here.

LTC Theresa Long was one of the speakers at the Patriots Unite & Push event held in Huntsville, AL on 17 September. She is a military whistleblower. Our service members are suffering since the rollout of the covid shots and the mandates. She stated that she has service members with rare cancers, Parkinsons, Huntington's disease, etc. To top it all off someone is changing military medical records. A young soldier in her unit was discharged due to testicular cancer. She called him to check-in. While looking at his record, she noticed that the date of his cancer diagnosis was showing as August (I'm not sure of the year) and his record showed he'd received a covid shot the same year but AFTER the diagnosis. She thought that was incorrect so she asked him. He confirmed that his shot preceded the cancer diagnosis.

She described other changes, too. Such as she has 4 soldiers with cancers, 3 are very rare cancers but none are showing in DMED. The number of pregnancies showing in DMED was huge. It would mean that most of the females were pregnant....but they weren't. That may have been done to mask the number of miscarriages. Miscarriage percentage would look lower if there were a lot of pregnancies.

She said young, fit soldiers are being discharged due to myocarditis. A 24-year old VERY athletic male pilot had such severe myocarditis...damage to his heart....that he could not stay in the service even in another position.

Very sad.

Hey Jeff, I have some experience with aircraft incidents. While speculation is inevitable in these instances there are several highly plausible explanations for the F-35 incident that do not require a conspiracy:

1. Military aircraft routinely are not tracked by Air Traffic Control (ATC) in military training areas.

2. Transponders can be turned off or fail and DoD “tracking technology” (I won’t get into the details) is not foolproof.

3. No, a pilot will not eject by directive (in peacetime, over the US).

4. We have no idea what the condition of the COCKPIT was at the time of ejection. Malfunctions can occur that make the interior unsafe for the pilot (smoke/fumes, malfunctioning environmental control systems, fire, etc.). Meanwhile, the aircraft could still be mostly flightworthy (for a time).

5. A potential avionics fire could be an explanation as it would smoke out the pilot and cause damage to critical tracking gear. The pilot would have leveled off to troubleshoot, engaged autopilot, and likely not considered pointing the expensive lawn dart at the ground before ejecting (I wouldn’t).

6. There have been other events before in which pilots have ejected from aircraft that kept flying.

7. The aircraft could enter a dangerous aerodynamic state causing concern (if in close proximity to the ground), but then recover due to built in flight control logic. Not all pilots trust that type of recovery if close to impact.

8. It’s stealth. No radar tracking available. Was it cloudy? No visual tracking? The wingman stays with the pilot and the jet (if it continues flight) will not be tracked.

9. The military’s absolute priority is the reach the wreckage first so that the classified gear/tech on the jet has the least exposure to possible exploitation. So, in the unfortunate instance that they lose a stealth fighter, of course they’ll enlist the public to get eyes on ASAP if they have no other option. They won’t, by policy, confirm anything including cause of incident or location to prevent excessive exposure to possible exploitation and because the first assumptions are rarely correct and not known until completing a full investigation. They also want all opportunity to remove wreckage before John Q. Public gets there hunting for highly classified souvenirs.

10. This is an important one, since the aircraft continued flying, it’s eventual demise was likely due to running out of gas. That means no fuel to burn up after impact. So a smokeless hole is likely all it will create. Add terrain and trees and it would be very difficult to find it (all other things being equal).

It’s unfortunate this occurred and great news the pilot is OK. I’ve speculated here for the benefit of your readers, but as a rule of thumb we don’t speculate about incidents and their causes because you’re normally wrong and look like a moron when that’s confirmed. Yes, I risk looking like a moron too, but Occam’s Razor suggests all this conspiracy pondering is likely a self-created distraction happily amplified by the media for clicks and, well, distracting us!

Keep your eye on the prize (uncovering true corruption) and pray for the pilot and all involved. Be well!

I’ll not belittle anyone who’s likely recent (within the last 3 years) complete loss of trust in our government leads them to other preemptive conclusions. Trust me, I get it. But having been there done that, I figured I’d nudge things toward other likely explanations. I always appreciate your research and, in fact, your software explanation may be part of this. Most mishaps are “Swiss cheese models” i.e. many separate things, related and unrelated, align like “holes in Swiss cheese slices” to create the negative outcome.

I worked half a decade on the ancient F16 and helped design small parts of the cockpit on a classified aircraft (nothing still classified).

Part of the job was investigating crash incidents. Everything Publius Veritas said was true in my case as well.

Separately, most or all aircraft are fly by wire now, and combat aircraft usually have redundancy on different parts of the air frame. Don't want to lose full control because part if your wing got shot off and the wires no longer connect. Trivia point, did you know that astronauts mostly cannot safely fly space vehicles manually? Sure, they can guide them through low speed rendezvous, but not launch or reentry. Requires computers... and software. I don't think all the software is the problem; it's probably the complexity of what needs to work precisely.

I will also add that a nuclear-capable jet doesn't mean it has nukes onboard even 3-5% of the time. Probably everyone knows that, but thought I'd say it aloud just in case.

I've been out of aerospace for decades, but I expect the design principles and response strategies haven't changed too much... only the specific tactics.

Of course, you missed the most obvious explanation: Yoda took over and mind controlled the pilot into ejecting. Easy one, once I think about it.

The other item not mentioned is the jets computers/systems are wiped on ejection. This means systems are zeroized as well...

So Transponder goes to off, jet is low observable (LO) and ATC tracks via transponder codes vs skin paints.....voila! Jet is now untrackable!.

Contrary to some other posts, the jets are not GPS tracked as this enters a vulnerability to the whole purpose of LO in todays world.

ATC does track jets in MOA’s... as they are not off-limits to civilians while active. Restricted areas are not as closely monitored.

The point about wingman not following it is valid. Fuel? Weather/limited visibility? Otherwise, wingman should have followed the jet till fuel required him to RTB. Hell they could have called in other aircraft to pick up chase position in it...

Real question is why did pilot eject? If the jet flew that far post ejection... what caused the pilot to eject? Physiological issue? Stroke? Heart attack? We shall see what they feed us... but that I am interested in.

I think it was stolen and the pilot didn't want to get stolen with it.

Someone, somewhere overrode the pilots instrumentation, just like in training crafts. Also like the 737 800-Maxes in which they were flying around the public. 500 and some did not make it in 2 separate bow into earth at high speed crashes. In one, from the voice recording Black Box, the pilot tried 21 times successfully to right the plane with nose back up. Each time the plane turned itself nose down, again. He lasted for 21 times and then no more...Boeing never did pay for that, the FAA kept quiet and it was only Trump who grounded the planes after the two horrific major crashes and loss of tremendous lives from the planes that insisted on steering themselves into the earth nose first.

Any number of conditions could easily cause spatial disorientation. A mild stroke, vertigo, etc.

Spatial disorientation can go from mildly annoying to utterly debilitating in a heartbeat. A pilot can be rendered unable to control the plane. Look up "giant hand phenomenon" for just one example. Flyable airplanes are often put into the ground because of spatial disorientation.

This is the kind of thing that a base Public Affairs office would be eager to hide, and would likely have been told to hide.

Hidden in the interest of not divulging a vulnerability in our national defense. Because to allow people to learn that we have weakened our nation while committing crimes against humanity would be "no bueno" for certain involved parties.

I beg to differ here a bit. Here's Occam's Razor:

In philosophy, Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor; Latin: novacula Occami) is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements. It is also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony (Latin: lex parsimoniae). Attributed to William of Ockham, a 14th-century English philosopher and theologian, it is frequently cited as Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, which translates as "Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity",[1][2] although Occam never used these exact words. Popularly, the principle is sometimes inaccurately[3] paraphrased as "The simplest explanation is usually the best one."[4]"

I think we have to ask, given the state of civilization, whether normalcy bias is substituting for Occam's Razor. A bit like Hanlon's Razor, never attribute to malice that which can be ascribed to stupidity. Many of the ostensible conspiracies have been proven to be totally true over time.

What is being proven to be happening in the world shakes the very foundations of our models of the world. Just saying. I think what can be said, parsimoniously, is that we must consider all the normal explanations, the most parsimonious, but, these days, must also consider possibilities that break from our internalized models of the world. Line them all up, think about them, gather evidence, nothing kneejerk. You never know, those Mexican mummies might have blinked to life and hypnotized the pilot and sent the jet to the mothership lol.

Good observation. I guess that's why I got peeved at DeSantis "almost" saying out loud what everyone is thinking: that the election was rigged. I'm really tired of him being parsimonious.

Expand full comment

It was faked. Who would elect the brain dead idiot. I did not hear DeSantis say it but at least if he did he is one of the only to say it and admit the truth that the elections are being rigged!

Kari Lake will say it...and loudly.

We are not under normal circumstances with a world takeover and domination and retraction of our money. Lasering Americans in their houses? While an actor wears a mask, pretends to be President and he and his posse laugh at us to our faces.

Let's be logical in our thinking. Not normal times at all. Evil is everywhere and selling us out.

Thanks for the level-headed post.

You missed one, though: Did the pilot have a sudden, unexpected stroke? Vertigo? Chest pains?

I'm sure we'll never be told if . . . certain 'interventions' have compromised our capacity to wage war. Because this kind of compromise would surely be classified at a very high level.

For "security," you see . . .

Better to cultivate the well-fertilized conspiracy ground for any alternative explanation.

I missed a lot of possibilities. Pilot incapacitation is certainly a potential. A Pilot lucky enough to feel impending LOC (Loss of Consciousness) while having a functional ejection seat is very likely to opt out of continued flight! 😅

A long time ago I was an Officer in the Air Rescue and Recovery Service. In the U.S. we searched for small private aircraft that went down. Even though we had a clue about where they went down, sometimes they were hard to find. I remember one that went down in Louisiana that we gave up looking for. Sometimes that happens. Hunters later found it. (Good for them!) Also while I was in the organization, it seemed to me that most planes went down due to maintenance problems.

As a software developer of 23 years, glitches and bugs are commonplace. I own as little tech as humanly possible.

I know, I work as a software engineer in cutting high tech and my friends laugh at me at how low tech my life is. I don't want to buy a new car because I don't want a computer controlling it. I told a young adult this week, sorry I don't have venmo on my phone, I don't have apps on my phone that contain my credit card info, I'll pay you when I get home. I only recently setup autopay for some of my bills. My kids got cell phones much later than their peers. Etc...

Expand full comment

I pay all but one of my bills with checks still. I do not have any kind of "smart speaker". I do have a modern car with the fancy computer assist crap and it bothers me. I give people cash when I have to pay them back. Some have literally rolled their eyes when I've done that.

Too much fun! And has that wonderful BMW purr that no longer exists in the new cars. A remnant of a by gone era! Besides, I'd never buy a BMMW now after they supported Black Lives Matter.

Yep. I write software as part of my work duties. I've seen what kind of code your average programmer spits out. I've also seen how little thought goes into most IT policies/directives. I'm basically a luddite who's really good with computers lol.

I will pay electronically, but rarely subscribe to an "auto-pay". Had ATT enter a contract incorrectly once and they took ~ 4-5x what they were supposed to and fought like crazy to not give it back. I did get several months paid for out of it eventually, but next month I got a bill like I hadn't paid anything. I spent so much time with billing support on that.

But these days with that "accept $600+ on Venmo in a year and it goes to the IRS" - not worth it.

Pay on your credit card...you can dispute any transaction. And get miles on your airline account to fly free.

This is why I still write checks. I used to work on Point of Sale registers and our Credit dept constantly charged people multiple times when they processed a purchase.

It's the whole, charge the amount, timeout, charge again, timeout, charge again... but in reality the charge went through even though the message timed out. So, multi-charged.

Yes, that is why I avoided it for so long. Decades ago, a family member's bank messed up her monthly mortgage payment (on auto pay) and it took her a long time and a lot of headache to get it resolved.

Spot on Anthony. I've been a software developer for longer than that and I don't trust anything tech. I know too many developers! I've spent the bulk of my career knocking down the bug backlog and adding features to existing codebases and am continually shocked by the terrible quality and questionable choices made.

Hey look guys, go easy. I was a software developer at one point. Deadlines a clean code-base do not make. See, even that sentence was buggy. ^_^

Expand full comment

Disagree, do I.

Buggy, that sentence was not.

Expand full comment

LOL. Proves the point though. Ya think the dudes who wrote the software for the sooper fansee planes didn't have deadlines and worked a bajillion hours 'round the clock? Ha. I and my teammates had to do that to sell some books and then would spend months handling Tier 3 support tickets and fixing the bugs we introduced :). Now I just mock the code when I find it like all the sprocs that do nothing more than a SELECT but are wrapped in a transaction just because. My guess was the engineer had recently learned the Begin Trans / End Tran and thought it would be a great idea. No surprise that they have "glitches" in the F35 software.

Expand full comment

I sure there are glitches in the software, likely many, but the tracking of this $135,000,000 jet has multiple redundancies both inside and outside. You make a fair point, but in this case, too many different systems would have fail all at once for the plane to vanish from the pentagon's notice.

Glitches? Or a back door? LOL

It's easy to code in a little doorway that no other system knows about or can detect.

Who is to say there aren't foreign or globalist saboteurs working in military software? I think of the Promis software, from decades ago.

"A book written in 1997 by Fabrizio Calvi and Thierry Pfister claimed that the National Security Agency (NSA) had been "seeding computers abroad with PROMIS-embedded SMART (Systems Management Automated Reasoning Tools) chips, code-named Petrie, capable of covertly downloading data and transmitting it, using electrical wiring as an antenna, to U.S. intelligence satellites" as part of an espionage operation.[1]" (technofascistapedia)

Yeah, if you do any research into election code as a developer you're stunned. At the bare minimum, knowing that they keep one variable for the votes and store a "weight" for each candidate is suspect.

Haha awesome comic. Never saw that one before. Any developer who thinks they write advanced amazing code trying to put their signature into software usually just makes more bugs for everyone else to deal with. Otherwise it’s just generally crappy code. Probably worse when you use government contractors.

Yes, worked in IT for a few decades but never any hard core programming. Operations and maintenance will expose one to the general flaws of complex systems, hardware or software.

Megyn Kelly had a segment in her podcast yesterday about the Russel Brand situation and I could only stomach about 5 minutes of it before I had to turn it off. She's usually pretty level headed about most topics but man, she went off the deep end on this subject. She spent the first several minutes literally yelling at her audience. I thought her head was going to explode. She acknowledged the me-too movement created a storm of false or exaggerated sexual allegations (think Kavanagh) but THIS TIME, according to Megyn, we should consider these recent allegations against Brand to be TRUE! He's a pig! She read the disgusting details of one of the accusers and that's when I exited the podcast.

First, I have zero interest in these celebrity stories and second, the FACT these accusers waited years & years to say a word about it and then when they did, they went to the media, NOT to law enforcement. The only reason law enforcement is now looking into it is because the police saw the allegations in the MEDIA. Law enforcement is now "reaching out" to the "victims" for more information and they've asked the public to come forward with any information they may have or if there are others that have experienced sexual crimes by Brand.

Yea, no huge red flags there. It all sounds fair, unbiased, and above board. 🤔

Expand full comment

I was agree with everything you say here. I listened to Megyn’s podcast for a couple of months and enjoyed it for the most part until one day she started to irritate me. My first thought when I heard the allegations against Russell Brand was that he contests the narrative so “victims” were “found”. He’s on Rumble. So far as I know he hadn’t been deplatformed from it.

Yes, I completely agree that he's become relatable to many that previously wouldn't listen to anything remotely conservative. He's definitely experienced an awakening of some sort and for that, I'm happy for him he's on the right track. And yes, I do think he's being nefariously targeted but unfortunately, he spent his earlier years being a raging lefty, man-whoreing lunatic, that was all captured in the public eyes. Unbeknownst to him at the time, he gave them the ammo they're now using against him.

Yes. I loved stories like these when my son was a teenager. I would say, treat people with kindness, don't take advantage of anyone, because God is watching. But if you forget that God is watching and screw up, it will eventually come back and bite you anyway -see this story?? And this one...and this one....He was really a good kid, but I pounded it into his head anyway just in case. In his era it was more athletes and celebrities, but now it's anyone who goes against the Official Narrative.

Yes, my husband & I did the same thing with our kids. It's so difficult to explain to kids how making bad decisions can make their lives so much harder. They aren't able to think past tomorrow let alone years down the road. Both of our daughters are wonderful adults raising our wonderful grandkids (most are now nearing adulthood) so I would like to think we did something right.

I’ve been assaulted before and got to the hospital for the kit. Then to the police who treated me terribly. ( Albany New York years ago) You can’t wait years. Sounds like Russell is reaching too many people with truth.

Thanks. I got no justice. However, I met another woman who had lived in the same apartment. Our local women shelter placed us there for a year to get back on our feet. He had terrorized her too. I got the apartment program shut down.

The rapist & his cousin threatened my life and the police were not helping me. A few years later the cousin strangled a woman to death in Albany New York. Dorothy Royal. His name was Jo-el Scott . His cousin, the guy that attacked me was michael Scott& I don’t know if he is still walking around or not.

I’d beg the police to drive down the hill to my apartment so he could not see them coming, they always drove up the hill and he would leave and pretend he was at the bus stop next to my apartment.

I eventually healed, mostly, from my abusive marriage that I’d gone to the shelter for, & this didn’t help my healing process at all! The shelter did more harm than good in reality. I’m happy to say that I’ve been happily married for 31/2 years now, I’m 57 and still have triggers but my husband is very understanding and supportive when I get jumpy. I felt survivor guilt over Dorothy for a long time. Glad I got the apartment closed down at least.
