AF 447 crash was due to bad maintenance on pitot system. (Pitot system is how airspeed is computed, among other things.)
Not related to the Max debacle.
#8
USNR, with respect, the pitot tube started the debacle, but the crash resulted from a pilot holding back on the stick while ignoring 75 audible stall warnings.

So, let me get this straight; Boeing deliberately covered up problems that caused crashes/deaths. Anyone being prosecuted for whatever kind of crime that is? It seems that if you are high enough in the government and/or big enough corporately there is another justice system.
Arbitrator reinstates Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Josh Stambaugh
Stambaugh was fired by sheriff past legal deadline, arbitrator ruled
He was on duty in February 2018 when Nikolas Cruz went on shooting spree
Seventeen were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland
Stambaugh hid behind his truck and then drove off during the massacre
He and other deputies were faulted for failing to adequately respond to shooting ...sadly, they responded as trained and as ordered. It should be noted that, as one of his first acts as governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis suspended Sheriff Scott Israel and appointed a replacement, and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office lost its accreditation.
Sergeant Brian Miller was also reinstated by arbitrator after he was fired
Another deputy, Edward Eason, is due to have his case heard by arbitrator
Stambaugh, Eason, and Miller were fired by Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony
Tony was hired last year by Governor DeSantis, who fired Scott Israel

A SECOND Parkland cop who was fired for his response to the 2018 massacre that left more than a dozen dead has been reinstated on a technicality, reports claim. Broward Sheriff Deputy Josh Stambaug… According to the DAILYMAIL in the UK.
====================
Sgt. Brian Miller will receive full back pay and seniority when he returns to his duties at the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association Union said Wednesday. According to ABC NEWS
[BREITBART] Fifteen people were shot, two fatally, on Tuesday alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway... ’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... The Chicago Sun-Times reports the first of the two fatalities was a 26-year-old man who was shot while at "CTA Red Line station in Rogers Park" just after 6:10 p.m.
NBC 5 reports the man was standing inside the station "when a vehicle pulled up near the station...[and] a person inside the vehicle opened fire," striking the victim in the abdomen. He was then transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
The second fatality was as 21-year-old man who was killed while inside an apartment in the "4800 block of South Wood Street." He was shot multiple times by "someone he knew" and pronounced dead at the scene.

...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago.
AKA Groot, for some reason over at Second City Cop blog.
When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway...
I think I see the problem here. There are too many corpses, but guns are the thing that gets banned. Y'all just need to ban corpses. There, was that so hard?
Hotel USSR tells a story of а young man coming of age in a totalitarian state. He wants to be an artist but he isn’t authorized to buy paints. He wants to see the world but the authorities brand him as politically unreliable. He wants to get married but the system separates him from his bride. He listens to Hotel California and wishes he had their problems: he himself is stuck in a real-life trap that he "can never leave," and he calls it Hotel USSR. To check out, he must break every rule in the book.
This young man is me and this is my real life story. People have often asked me what growing up in the USSR felt like. This book is my answer. It’s illustrated with my own drawings and paintings, which I did in my twenties before I quit drawing. The reason for quitting is in there as well.
In addition to it being humorous and entertaining, I hope this story can be an eye-opener for younger people who may naively believe in the false promise of socialism. Rather than debating Marxism directly, I demonstrate how it fails in practice and what absurdities ensue when the entire state lives in denial of its failures, forcing people not to trust their own eyes.
[FOXNEWS] A sheriff’s office in Georgia had a message for a suspect who fled during a traffic stop in Cherokee County, north of Atlanta, Monday: Deputies would hold onto his winning $100 lottery ticket for him.
"To the suspect who ran on foot from our deputies on a traffic stop this morning on I-75, you left a winning $100.00 lottery ticket in your vehicle," the department wrote in a Facebook post. "You can claim your ticket at 498 Chattin Dr. in Canton. It will be here waiting for you. Congratulations by the way."

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Sally lumbered ashore near the Florida-Alabama line Wednesday with 105 mph (165) winds and rain measured in feet, not inches, swamping homes and trapping people in high water as it crept inland for what could be a long, slow and disastrous drenching across the Deep South.
Moving at an agonizing 3 mph, or about as fast as a person can walk, the storm made landfall at 4:45 a.m. close to Gulf Shores, Alabama, about 30 miles from Pensacola. It accelerated to a light jog as it battered the Pensacola and Mobile, Alabama, metropolitan areas, which encompass nearly 1 million people.
Emergency crews plucked people from flooded homes. In Escambia County, which includes Pensacola, more than 40 were rescued, including a family of four found in a tree, Sheriff David Morgan said.
[Washington Examiner] German officials said they have tallied 59 coronavirus infections linked to a U.S. citizen accused of partying despite awaiting COVID-19 test results and showing symptoms of the illness.
The cluster of cases occurred in the Bavarian resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where the 26-year-old woman in question, who has not been identified, worked at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort. Some 740 tests were conducted in the town over the weekend, and officials are still awaiting results from 300 tests conducted on Monday, according to the Associated Press.
Markus Soeder, the leader of Bavaria, called the outbreak "a model case of stupidity." He said that he thinks the woman, who visited bars despite her pending test result, should be fined, noting that "such recklessness must have consequences."
The cluster of cases linked to the woman has resulted in a 10 p.m. curfew on bars and restaurants in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the closure of the 258-room Edelweiss Lodge and Resort, which is owned by the Pentagon and used by U.S. military forces. The facility will be shuttered for at least two weeks. The U.S. military is conducting an investigation into the outbreak, including contact tracing, according to John Tomassi, spokesman for the U.S. Army Europe.
Andrea Mayer, a spokeswoman for prosecutors in Munich, told the Associated Press that there is an "ongoing" investigation into the woman on suspicion of causing bodily harm.
Germany has had more than 265,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and at least 9,367 deaths since the pandemic began.

No loss closing the Edelweiss as occupancy rates are woeful. If it weren't for holding conferences there, it probably would have been shuttered years ago.
That dame probably has some psycho issues. But I wonder if they will go around charging people with crimes if they go out with the flu. The flu can be a killer, right?

And remember, freedom is a bad thing and must be stomped out if it interferes with anyone's hysteria...

More: A US citizen who allegedly refused to quarantine and instead went on a pub crawl in a Bavarian town — sparking a COVID-19 outbreak — has been named as a 26-year-old Florida woman who thanked her co-workers for going to her “rona party,” according to a report.
Yasmin Adli, who works at a hotel resort for US forces stationed in Germany, had been awaiting test results after a jaunt to Greece when she partied in Garmisch-Partenkirchen — although she already had a sore throat, the Daily Mail reported.
She allegedly texted several of her co-workers who had partied with her for several nights before receiving her positive result, according to the news outlet, which published a screenshot of a message in which she thanked them for showing up at her “rona party.”
“I didn’t know I had the rona when we went out,” the alleged super-spreader wrote, according to the report.

I guess her co-workers don't believe in this 'rona madness/hysteria.

^I'm guessing a Bavarian prison is cleaner and more orderly than a Nevada hospital. But I've only ever been in the later, so it's hard to say.
I have been to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort. In fact, Garmisch-Partenkirchen ranks high on my list of places I would spend months at if I were rich enough to not have to work. So I'm not thrilled about other Americans souring the locals on us.
[FOXNEWS] 'Some good charities are going to benefit from CNN's willful deliberate malicious effort to destroy my credibility,' he said
Famed attorney and Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News that CNN selectively edited a clip of his remarks from the Senate floor during President Trump's impeachment trial where he broke down the illegalities surrounding a "quid pro quo" as a member of the president's defense team.
The constitutional scholar alleges in the lawsuit that the news outlet propagated a “sea of lies” by re-airing only part of his quote, which he believes was part of a deliberate effort "from the very top" to frame him for claiming “that the President of the United States could commit illegal acts as long as he thought it would help his reelection and that his reelection was in the public interest," The Wrap reported.
"What CNN did here, and it pains me to say this because, you know, I have friends over there, what they did is they just totally doctored the tape," Dershowitz told Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
[Local10.com] HARRISBURG, Pa. Pennsylvania's highest court gave the Democratic Party a series of victories Thursday in the presidential battleground state, relaxing deadlines in its fledgling mail-in voting law, approving more ballot collection sites and kicking the Green Party's presidential candidate off the November ballot.
The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party's request to order an extension of Pennsylvania's Election Day deadline to count mailed-in ballots.
The extension it granted, in a 4-3 decision,will allow three more days to receive ballots that were mailed before polls closed.
It cited warnings of the prospect of postal service delays in invalidating huge numbers of ballots and demand for mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic to invoke the power, used previously by the state's courts, to extend election deadlines during a disaster emergency.
In party-line decisions by the state's elected justices, the court also upheld the use of satellite election offices and drop boxes to help counties collect the expected avalanche of mail-in ballots, and ruled that the Green Party's presidential nominee didn't follow procedures for getting on November's ballot and cannot appear on it. Are you getting it yet?
"Pandemic! Mail delays! Speshull powerz! The election's not over 'til Harris/Biden wins!"
It's almost like all the strands of some sort of plan coming together, isn't it?
Naahh...
Congrats to all the "thoughtful conservatives" and "libertarians" who went along with all this stuff.
Three more days won’t be enough to count all the mailed in ballots they expect, which will be mostly Democratic votes, even if a significant number are duplicate, imaginary, and zombie Americans. And then something like 20% of those that do arrive in time will have to be tossed out for being improperly filled out, while Republicans will be the majority of in-person votes on Election Day, all of which will be counted.
[AirForceTimes] Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman and former Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva caught the eye of numerous veterans when Monday Night Football cameras captured a name scrawled across the back of his helmet: Alwyn Cashe.
Sgt. 1st Class Cashe died nearly 15 years ago from injuries sustained in Iraq after he repeatedly entered a burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle to rescue his fellow soldiers, an effort that left him with second and third degree burns to nearly 75 percent of his body.
Despite the intense heat melting the uniform and armor to his skin, Cashe returned to the inferno numerous times to pull six soldiers from the fiery wreck.
He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, which, following years of recommendations by veterans and lawmakers, may soon be upgraded to the Medal of Honor, a move confirmed recently when Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced plans to submit Cashe for the award.
The upgrade to the nation’s highest award for combat valor would make Cashe the first Black Medal of Honor recipient from the Global War on Terror.
Medal of Honour lives matter.
The Steelers, like the rest of the National Football League, previously announced plans to allow players to wear helmet decals to honor victims of racism and police brutality.
“This year the NFL is allowing players to wear helmet decals to honor victims of systemic racism,” the team announced. “Players could select the name of an individual to wear on their helmet and the Steelers players and coaches united as one to wear a single name on the back of their helmets and hats for the entire 2020 season – Antwon Rose Jr.”
Rose, 17, was fatally shot by East Pittsburgh police in June 2018.
Villanueva opted instead to honor Cashe, whose son Andrew is following in his father’s footsteps and is now an Army infantry soldier. Andrew may be the individual to receive the medal on his father’s behalf if the upgrade is approved.
[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali police in Adado town located in the country’s central Galgadud region managed to detain a prime suspect in the cruel rape and murder of a young student in Mogadishu.
"Somali Police Force, Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... Division, following a national manhunt last night arrested Mohammed Ibrahim Osman, 24 years old, who was wanted suspect for the criminal case against Hamdi Mohammed Farah who was recently killed in Mogadishu," said Zakia Hussein.
The deputy police chief said the suspect was on the run after security forces in the capital arrested his complices in the case, numbering 11.
Hamdi has invested time and energy in education to have a better future but lost her life at the hands of cruel rapists who thrown her off from a six-storey hotel building last Friday after raping.

[H&H] Kismet Farm is an impressive period property set in the Derbyshire countryside complete with seven bedrooms and room outside for your horse.
Described by estate agent Fine & Country as "a true gem", Kismet Farm was originally part of the Ednaston Estate until the early 1980s when it was sold as a seperate dwelling and the current owners have extensively improved the property throughout, while making the most of the period features and high ceilings. It is on the market with a price tag of £1.85m.

That's a comb-over? Dang, modern hairdressing has come a long way!
I keep getting this twinge...
I have zero evidence, there is nothing I can point to directly, BUT I can't help wondering how much of the "unrest" is manufactured and funded from outside the country. Like the recent international protests against Netanyahu in countries *outside* the Middle East. Or the Antifa protests here in the US which are obviously organized and funded by someone.

The Chinese have already won this round. They now control another 1000km2 and will be back in another few years for more. Same as in the South China sea where every time the Chinese build a new island, they de-facto control another 300,000km2 of maritime territory.
[ALMASDARNEWS] According to Xi Yunyang, Professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China could be ready to dump the entire US debt in case of a military confrontation between both countries.
Then by all means let us avoid a military confrontation until we are completely disengaged economically.
"Under normal circumstances, China will gradually sell Treasuries and reduce its balance sheet to about $ 800 billion. But in the event of an extreme scenario, for example, a military conflict, China can sell the entire US national deb," he added in an interview with the Global Times.
Perhaps China should sell while the selling is good. If they dump the things they’ll take a huge loss, and the Chinese economy has too many problems to deliberately take a huge loss just when they need the funds to fight a war. That would cause them to lose the war faster than the approaching American missiles.
While this is an unofficial declaration, it is a threat for the United States and could plunch the world into recession.
The PRC used to be the largest holder of the US national debt, but recently shifted on second place behind Japan. Currently, China holds around $1 trillion in US bonds.
While the move would hurt China itself, it is made clear that this would only be a worst-case scenario.
China fears further sanctions imposed by the United States under the premise of violating human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. in Hong Kong and Xinjiang and ultimately worries about a possible disconnect from the global financial system.
While it is unclear what happens between both countries in the future, China eagerly awaits the upcoming November elections in the United States to prepare for whatever outcome.

China's got the same problem every investor has right now: If you don't want to hold US gummint debt, where are you going to put the money? I suppose they could buy Switzerland, or take it all to Macau for a potentially spectacular return. Or they could ask Paul Krugman what he thinks, and then do the opposite.

The other problem is that no other financial market could absorb an investment of that size. Quantity has a quality, etc.

But in the event of an extreme scenario, for example, a military conflict, China can sell the entire US national debt...
The presumption being there will be buyers for all that debt. Central banks will likely avoid it like the plague and for the stuff they do manage to get rid of, they'll take it in the shorts like Fred mentioned. This sounds like weak chest-thumping to me.
[gCaptain]The World Trade Organization undercut the main justification for President Donald Trump’s trade war against China, saying that American tariffs on Chinese goods violate international rules.
A panel of three WTO trade experts on Tuesday said the U.S. broke global regulations when it imposed tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018. Washington has imposed levies on $400 billion in Chinese exports.
The panel said in its report “that the United States had not met its burden of demonstrating that the measures are provisionally justified.”

It won't happen, but I would love nothing better than to see the UN be sent packing...don't care whither it goes, just sent it on its way. Our withdrawal from that sh!t hole organization would, of course, be ideal.

[DAILYTIMES.PK] A teacher was arrested for allegedly beating up students in Jhelum’s Khansama on Wednesday, the police confirmed.
The children were students of primary grades and took classes at the suspect’s tuition centre. The suspect reportedly used to beat them with slaps, pens, pencils and scales.
A First Information Report (FIR) No. 372/20 has been registered against the teacher Muhammad Abu Bakar and the news was confirmed by Fasial Vawda who took to Twitter congratulating the District Police Officer (DPO) Jhelum and sharing a copy of the police report.
The petitioner said two of his daughters, both minors, were studying at the "Reformer Academy" in Jhelum’s Mohallah Khansama, according to a copy of the FIR available with Geo.tv.
The father further said in the FIR his daughters had refused to go to the tuition classes for the past few days and after asking them why, he got to know that it was due to fear of being beaten by their teacher. The incident had caused them severe physical and mental pain, said the father.
Earlier in the day, Faisal Vawda in his tweet said that he has just received the video of a teacher torturing students and added that these corporal punishments (beating, shaming) scar our children’s minds forever!
Another incident took place in 2018. Another madrasa teacher beat a 9-year-old child to death. The student name was Mohammad Hussain. The teacher become violent mostly peaceful when teaching the sacred text of Holy Koran to innocent little children.
Abusing children for the inability to learn is unethical and immoral. Calling your student off for not being able to understand something is forcefully making them accept that they are dumb. Such teachers do not realize that their actions have a great impact on the individual’s life.

[South China Morning Post] Andreas Kurth has an unusual, and uncomfortable, dress code for his job.
Encapsulated in an inflatable bodysuit, his frizzy grey curls wrapped in a skullcap or bandana, Kurth breathes air at a humidity of about 5 per cent, far drier than in the Sahara Desert, to help prevent bacteria forming in the air hoses. A couple of hours in the suit leads to dehydration and discomfort, but it’s the rubber gloves that bother him most. He wears three pairs, but needs hand dexterity to unscrew the tops of small vials and then screw them back on again.
"They have to be tight enough that we can unscrew a vial of samples," he says, "but they can’t be so tight to the point we can’t move our fingers."
Being able to handle the vials is essential. They contain death.
[BBC] Peter Aaby shakes his head, as though he still can’t believe it. "That was the start of it really — something very strange happened," he says.
Today Aaby is speaking with me via Skype from his native Denmark. But he has spent the best part of the last four decades in Guinea-Bissau — a small, impoverished West African country with a troubled colonial past and recent history of repeated coups d'état. He moved there in 1978 to set up a charity, the Bandim Health Project.
At the time, there was no national programme of measles vaccinations, so after a particularly devastating outbreak, the team decided to focus their efforts on providing them for children in the local area.
It was around a year after the vaccinations began that they made an extraordinary discovery: those who had been vaccinated against measles were 50% less likely to die than those who hadn’t. "It was stunning," says Aaby — but not for the reasons you might at first think.
The thing is, measles was never killing anywhere near half of Guinea Bissau’s children. Based on the proportion who were dying of the disease originally, the vaccine should have been far less beneficial than it was. The numbers didn’t add up. "We were asking ourselves ’How can this happen?’," says Aaby.

I had the 700 Club news on in the background and they reported that some of the CV-19 vaccine developers were using aborted fetal tissue to develop their vaccine. They said Pfizer was not one of them. No other details were provided.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The United State’s Air-Force conducted the first flight tests of a secretly built and designed sixth-generation fighter jet.
While nothing about the fighter jet is known to the public, the Air-Force revealed that it has already conducted test flights and "broken records".
The development of the fighter jet is carried out within the framework of the Next Generation Air Dominance program.
The fighter-jet was digitally designed and it was revealed that some tests were also carried out digitally, which significantly saved time during the creation of the model.
However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... literally nothing is known about the new model. It is yet to be revealed what contractor designed the sixth generation fighter, how fast it flies, where it is stationed and what it looks like.
The news was revealed yesterday on September 15 by the Air-Force’s head of acquisition, Will Roper, during an interview with Defense News.

Expect another 10 or more years before it becomes operational.

Of course defense contractors are involved. The Air Force doesn't build airframes.
I believe nearly a $billion/year funding has gone to NGAD program so there are serious bucks to accomplish this.

[gofundme] On May 25, 2020, my life shattered as I learned of the tragic passing of my dear brother, George.
My family and I watched in absolute horror as the now infamous and horrifying video began to spread quickly throughout social media. What we saw on that tape left us shell shocked; a white Minneapolis police officer kneeling directly on my brother's neck, obstructing his ability to breathe. As some officers knelt on his neck, other officers participated and watched; no one took any action to save my brother's life. Those officers would continue to brutalize my brother until he died. This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.

Unbelievable!!
And to pour salt in the wound, that disgraceful, manipulator Pelosi presented his brother a folded American flag flown over the Capitol in his honor in a beautiful tri-cornered presentation case.

Princeton University Punches Itself In The D!ck. Political judo, at its finest...
[WashingtonExaminer] The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation
...oh dear...
following the school president's declaration that racism was "embedded" in the institution.
One can see why the DoE would be concerned. That kind of thing simply cannot be allowed to continue, and surely the president of Princeton would never exaggerate for effect, right?
President Christopher L. Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that "[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton" and that "racist assumptions" are "embedded in structures of the University itself."
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
*Snicker* That’s an awfully large petard you’re hoisting yourself with, Buddy.
which declares that "no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
So all that money will need to be returned, right? With fines and interest, since it was clearly obtained under false pretenses? My dears, those salty tears are delicious!
Eisgruber's letter branding the 274 year-old university racist came after a summer of unrest rife with race riots and an open letter from hundreds of Princeton faculty members who wrote, "Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup." The admission was followed by dozens of "anti-racist" policy change demands. Among them were calls for select faculty race quotas and to "reconsider" the use of standardized testing for admissions.
Now, the Education Department has sent a formal records request as they pursue their investigation. Their main point of contention is whether Princeton has lied to the public with their marketing and to the Department in their promise to not uphold racist standards in accordance with receiving federal funds.
"Based on its admitted racism, the U.S. Department of Education ("Department") is concerned Princeton’s nondiscrimination and equal opportunity assurances in its Program Participation Agreements from at least 2013 to the present may have been false," the letter reads. "The Department is further concerned Princeton perhaps knew, or should have known, these assurances were false at the time they were made. Finally, the Department is further concerned Princeton’s many nondiscrimination and equal opportunity claims to students, parents, and consumers in the market for education certificates may have been false, misleading, and actionable substantial misrepresentations in violation of 20 U.S.C. § 1094(c)(3)(B) and 34 CFR 668.71(c). Therefore, the Department’s Office of Postsecondary Education, in consultation with the Department’s Office of the General Counsel, is opening this investigation."

That dead-records file repository should be opened on Johnston Island. Carry them over in an Iwo-Jima Class LHD and drop them off by helicopter. NO FURTHER CONTACT except once-a-year food drops.
