Mark said he disconnects multiple systems on his car, but best of my knowledge, cars themselves are visible to satellites, and license tags trackable via street cams, even doorbell cams.
Sadly, had to trade in my 2009 manual transmission, no computers-car. I'm supposed to be celebrating a new car, but I'm not. No CD player!!
I know Massie is leading the charge on forcing the Epstein cover-up to end, but none of them are saying Israel's Intel involvement, or if they are, the media is going out of its way not repeat it. Instead of threatening Bondi with jail, fines, and impeachment, just fricking do it. Now you know why Trump gave the Maga-tards in Congress approval. He had Bondi on board.
I hope people are catching some of the sinister shit that Epstein and others were doing at the ranch in New Mexico. I've read that some of the wacky tech bros believe in immortality, too, but cannibalism is grotesque.
Trump is now in a tough spot because he likes to be the man in charge. He made the right decision not to attack Iran. However, that prompted a seventh or eighth visit from Bibi. If Trump pulls the trigger now, everybody will know he's an owned man. MAGA is already splintering with the MIGA cells. It will become a deep fissure if Trump fires away.
Marco Rubio wants him to hit Iran and then go hit Cuba. So much for his FiFa "peace award!" LOL
On the Russia subject addressed by ArmchairW, the threat situation for the Russian State includes conflict generation by US/West's piracy of Russian and Russian-flagged shipping. I found John Helmer's reporting helpful in understanding what you have presented to us here.
Russia's military and naval readiness has always been a Defensive Posture, unlike the US protagonist adventurism throughout the world. Factions within the Kremlin are disputing the way forward in efforts at negotiating workable partnerships with US/West. FM Lavrov's filmed remarks, and his filmed interviews, this week, make public the divide among important government officials, not content to be frustrated but accepting of what are judged to be dangerous compromises for the sake of perceived diplomatic re-establishment of relationships. John Helmer particularly analyzes the scary potential of Anglo-Zionist Deceit hidden in the "business together" overtures of Witkoff and Kushner, and perhaps Dmitriev. The pro-business faction does not want any Russian military defensive action that will guard/escort/protect Russian ships and Russian properties.
Now that the world knows that the latest model F-35s aren’t actually fully functional, will that make a difference in the real world when that’s what’s threatening the world?
- I would also be interesting to know a few things about the Older planes ( that the new f-35s were to replace )
Examples:
1. Were many parts provided to EU nations so they could give them to Ukraine
2. Does the US maintain parts manufacturing - or were they transitioning to the new planes
3. Can the US manufacture parts for the ' old planes ' or was China doing that too
4. What is the current age and condition of the ' old planes ' the ones being replaced
5. Are the ' old planes ' - # 4 above - presuming they are able to fly - maybe only 50 % are combat ready ( I thought I read that previously somewhere - Congressional hearings on combat ready aircraft ) - are the old planes able to be adapted to ' new technology '
This appears to be a Much Much bigger mess than meets the eye
If the ' New ' planes are not combat ready - are a good portion of the ' Old ' planes also failing and not able to step up the the requirements of todays technology and peers?
2. Does the US maintain parts manufacturing - or were they transitioning to the new planes
+ Noting: all of these issues are important - this is an example -
When you deliver a ' new ' plane/product ' ' - you often change your manufacturing lines of spare parts for the old plane --- to spare parts for the ' new product/plane '
- so you ween off or end manufacturing for the old parts and majority if not all your efforts go to changing the manufacturing line for the new planes
Did the US allow that to happen - did the corporation eliminate much of the old plane spare part manufacturing - If so it's a real problem - then add in they probably immediately gave old parts in stock for the old plane to EU Saud and other countries that had the old plane (theoretically the old plane parts are no longer needed for the US ) Double Whammy
I am kind of thinking this is what happened - not that they shut down all old spare part manufacturing - because alot of countries use our old planes/technology - but that they transitioned much of the manufacturing for the new planes ]
AI reports that Israel recently received 64 "high end" Lockheed F35s.
Are they nuke-capable?
AI also says "Israel maintains a deep industrial partnership with Lockheed, including producing F35 parts, and has extended its cooperation agreements with LMT through 2029."
So is US LMT dependent upon Israel for new F35 parts?
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) said it has delivered the 350th wing for the F-35 fighter aircraft to Lockheed Martin, marking a major milestone in the programme. The wing was produced and assembled using advanced manufacturing technologies at IAI facilities, the company said.
As I understand it the F35 is like the higher end autos that have a bundle of services attached. Should you wish to opt for the model that stops you accelerating out of danger, because that would be dangerous, more fool you. F35s are equipped in such a way that a potential enemy can be rendered toothless; kind of like a GoFundMe for Canadian truckers.
The resulting over-elaboration, and mission creep, means these planes are never finished as such...

So apparently Lockheed-Martin just proposes to deliver F-35s with no radars to the USAF for the next three production lots over the next two years and then just fix it in post.
---------------- Unfortunately this appears as just a portrait of the US military capabilities - from ships to planes. This appears pretty widespread over all branches. Just bumping the Military Budget by $ 500 Billion ( 1/2 a trillion $ ) just is not going to fix this.
. PATENT LICENSES - " Bundle of Services " I also read all the equipment/planes come with ' patent licenses ' and that No One Else can fix them - upgrade them or Fly Them without paying a yearly fee or more - for the use and upgrades
So even after the US buys the planes, they have to pay yearly and dearly for license use/fees every year
. That $ 500 Billion probably just covers the fees on planes that cannot be delivered On Time or Fully Equipped
Let's face it - They are putting our pilots in harms way - whether or not you disagree with the mission - the pilots pay the price.
It feels like someone is putting on shorts or buying puts and then saying this sector or that sector is going to be decimated by AI. First, it was SaaS software companies, then insurance brokers and now real estate firms.
Yeah, I agree. All of this AI workforce implications dread has happened suddenly out of nowhere without quantifiable, fundamental data backing it up (yet). But of course that is just the way, nowadays, and just today's narrative. Today it is one thing tomorrow it will be something else. The whole problem is that when you are leveraged on the Yen carry trade or via private equity, you can't wait to make money off of fundamental economic analysis long term - it's full greed and/or fear short term. You can't fight algos dictating your buys and sells. Is it no wonder people are gravitating toward Gold, the most stable long term investment?
Trump just put out a “truth” where he described Blondie’s performance as “fantastic”. Obviously he didn’t watch her display her bumbling stupidity and rank partisanship. Of course he attacked Massie again because that’s his go to method for getting the magatards like catpoop and others on board.
OMG! Mark, you hit it out of the park this time! I'm going back over to make sure I cover everything!
Thank God for China. They are very wise to cut off rare earths to the people who would destroy the world -US.
The bit about Blondi was amazing, caught her right in the cross-hairs.
Massie for president.
Then the last bit about fooling the scammers was genius. Thank you for that.
You've started my day with a little encouragement that there are still people with functioning brains in the world -even if I can't find them in my neighborhood.

I found this - but did not look too hard

Now that is interesting, I hadn't even thought of the firmware, etc, additional modules and Ha ha ha upgrades. Nukes-as-a-service ™️
"Software as a service" companies haven't been doing too well in the markets the last number of days. Will our DoD will catch on to the trend?

Matt Gaetz as AG looks a lot more appealing these days. Too bad he was blocked.

"Bumbling stupidity and rank partisanship." Isn't that considered a big plus by Trump as long as the partisanship is toward Trump?
