New defenses eyed for Langley AFB 2.6K views 1 day ago

Allegedly there are no new "threats", nothing requiring legal or military response, so why inflate the budget? These objects are non-threatening during daily, close, regular interactions. Have they tried a bake sale? Seasonal calendars are popular. Maybe choose a less busy location for air training?

It is bad for women': Workers condemn culture at Oregon Forestry Department Oct. 09, 2024, 1:51 p.m

"The state has received about a dozen complaints against Oregon Department of Forestry leaders this year, with some employees alleging a hostile culture toward women, a lack of diversity and a fear of retaliation.

The complaints include one from Brenda McComb, vice chair of the Oregon Board of Forestry, who told state officials that she had seen little evidence that the Forestry Department had advanced "diversity representation" among its workforce or advisory committees."

JUST IN: Pentagon Holds Briefing After US Threatens To Withhold Israeli Aid As Gaza Crisis Worsens 4,119 views 39 minutes ago.

It would appear that the Pentagon believes Israel will attack Iran oil installations and Lebanon will be invaded.

So, this "leak" is intended to provide Israel political cover for another 30 days. Thanks Austin and Blinken, you are transparent.

"As you know we have that one shipment of 2000 pound bombs paused," while sending THAAD systems and 40,000 troops as sitting ducks.

Singh also states that the US is still conducting air drops. She crows about the "maritime corridor" - that Netanyahu plan that sank or floated off?

"So, our assessment is that yes, they are still conducting operations to go after Lebanese Hezbollah, um, you know, infrastructure C2 nodes along that Northern border."

EW VIDEO: UAPs swarm U.S. military base; How will Congress respond? | Reality Check 979K views 5 months ago - a more detailed account of the encounter. 44 objects, blinking inconsistently, the size of a car, no sound reflecting off the water, no blades, just circling for weeks. NASA brought it's WB-57 research vessel "to get involved."

Airmen regularly see objects that operate within their training space, inhibiting activities because there are so many, moving at incredible speed, defying aerodynamics, outperforming our struggling fighter jets. All day. Every day.

All systems and sensors collaborate across multiple aircraft at very high speeds.

They appear spherical, solid and without observable propulsion.

Goldfrapp - Physical 2001

"One issue I see is that Pres Biden has said that the US will always support Israel. Fmr Pres Trump has said similar things." LAMPLIGHTER at #5 above.
Both come from a generational perspective steeped in Israel's founding and the mythologies surrounding it. You could hardly escape exposure that in the US during the 1950s and 1960s. Think of the movie Exodus, based on the 1958 Leon Uris novel with the same title. Add the political reaffirmation of Israel by both political parties, politicians looking for money and votes, organized lobbying, etc., and you can end up where both Biden and Trump are now on the subject: up that proverbial creek without a paddle. Trump could hardly care less: he'd be hawking copies of the Koran if he thought it might give him some advantage. As for Biden, at best he may feel badly misled and deeply disappointed, for which he should blame only himself. That mythology I mentioned earlier? It bears critical examination, as do all mythologies . From that, perhaps rethinking and reformulation of one's outlook with an eye toward attaining a more reality-based view.

Gorgeous sentiment, being a messiah. He knows children are being massacred en mass.

It is obvious that Biden does not love Netanyahu. The nature of this relationship is not just theological or military. It is political.

Netanyahu is threatening something political that impacts successions of presidents.

Some knowledge his predecessors utilized that apparently cannot be circumvented by anything less than power that Bush Sr. wielded.

Frankly, it's strange.
