UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing Suspect Luigi Mangione and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyers Are Married
December 15th, 2024Via: New York Post:
It looks like Luigi Mangione and Sean “Diddy” Combs have more in common than orange jumpsuits and ankle shackles.
Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, the high-powered lawyer hired by UnitedHealthcare murder suspect Luigi Mangione, is married to none other than Marc Agnifilio, who has been representing the rapper as he battles sex trafficking charges.
Friedman-Agnifilo is a former prosecutor who ditched her longtime position as the head of the sex crimes unit in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in 2021 to join her husband’s private firm, Agnifilo Intrater LLP .
New York: Drones Shut Down Runways at Stewart International Airport
December 14th, 2024Someone asked me why I’m ignoring the drone situation. haha. In fact, I’ve nearly gone blind looking at hundreds of blurry images and videos and thousands of posts on X/Reddit/Facebook from clueless people, or people intentionally making up nonsense.
Here’s my take, at this time:
1) The U.S. Government is behind this. Anyone continuously flying under minimum safe altitudes or into restricted airspace would have guns pointed at them when they landed, assuming they were not first shot down by U.S. Air Force alert fighters (Aerospace Control Alert) capable of scrambling within minutes 24/7/365. That’s not happening because THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS DOING IT.
While this is definitely a U.S. Government operation, for what purpose, you can take your pick of random theories promoted on social media: The government is searching for a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb, the government is monitoring the real aliens (I love it! Please, tell me another one), it’s a government PSYOP. There’s an arms race on X to try to trick people into engaging with content, so as long as that happens, X will promote it, regardless of how stupid. Bonus points on X for not providing a link or other citation of the source.
2) I’m aware of no in-focus imagery, captured on any professional camera system, of anything anomalous with regard to this situation. People are primarily using mobile phones which are mostly incapable of producing useful imagery at night. On top of this, people using the phones seem to not understand that their only chance of accomplishing anything with a phone (or any other camera) would require affixing it to a tripod.
Corporate media is showing endless loops of ridiculously low quality videos. Compare what we are being shown by corporate media, employing professional cameramen, 4K cameras and lenses that cost more than houses in some parts of the U.S., to what amateur plane spotters do as a matter of routine.
Plane spotter video:
Fox News (Fox just picked at random, all corporate media are the same):
Maybe someone out there should offer free pizza to a pack of plane spotters to get to the bottom of this.
3) The general public, clueless about aviation and basic photographic principals, and whipped into a state of hysteria by U.S. Government gaslighting, is now routinely identifying conventional aircraft, especially those in an airfield traffic pattern, as anomalous.
This assists with government gaslighting when the imagery is easily debunked as normal air traffic.
What is actually anomalous?
Shutting down air operations at an international airport, as described below, has my attention.
The lack of thermal signature and the U.S. Coast Guard encounter also has my attention:
A New Jersey police department has sparked concern after it revealed that a drone it sent up to track a mystery aircraft ‘easily’ evaded their device before disappearing into thin air.
Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said his force launched its drone after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles, ‘coming off the ocean’.
The officer dialed 911 to alert state police, the FBI and the Coast Guard.
The maritime agency then reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat, estimating that the devices had a wingspan of eight feet.
Matronardy told NewsNation’s Rich McHugh the force put up an ‘industrial grade’ drone to follow one of the devices, but it quickly slipped through their grasp.
…
Ocean County Sheriff’s Office said it has been struggling to track the flying objects as they don’t give off heat like regular drones.
‘We don’t know [why]. It’s not something we’ve had our hands on or experienced,’ one officer said.
Individuals who have access to professional photo and video gear, and know how to use it, need to get busy.

The mysterious drones that have been plaguing the skies over the Northeast shut down the runways of Stewart International Airport Friday night, prompting Gov. Hochul to demand the feds step in.
“This has gone too far,” Hochul said in a terse statement Saturday, in which she noted the runway of the Orange County facility was shut down for an hour because of the unidentified aircraft.
Stewart Airport services both commercial and military flights and is adjacent to a New York Air National Guard base, where the 105th Airlift Wing is stationed.
The unidentified drones — which have been hovering over New Jersey for nearly a month and have been seen in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts — were also recently spotted flying over LaGuardia International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.
The runways were closed at 9:40 p.m. “following a report from the FAA about a drone sighting at the airport,” according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Stewart.
The runways were reopened at 10:45 p.m., “and there were no impacts to flight operations during the closure,” the spokesperson told The Post.

OpenAI Whistleblower Suchir Balaji Found Dead by Suicide in San Francisco Apartment
December 14th, 2024Via: Mercury News:
A former OpenAI researcher known for whistleblowing the blockbuster artificial intelligence company facing a swell of lawsuits over its business model has died, authorities confirmed this week.
Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead inside his Buchanan Street apartment on Nov. 26, San Francisco police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. Police had been called to the Lower Haight residence at about 1 p.m. that day, after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being, a police spokesperson said.
The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”
Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits against the San Francisco-based company.

“Pope Francis to Open 5 Sacred Portals on Christmas Eve — For a Ritual That’s Never Been Done Before”
December 11th, 2024
Via: New York Post:
Pope Francis will commence a centuries-long Catholic tradition on Christmas Eve and introduce a first-time, historical addition to the holy ritual.
Starting on Dec. 24, the pontiff will open a series of five Holy Doors throughout the Vatican, including St. Peter’s Basilica, plus Rome’s three other basilicas to commence next year’s Catholic Church jubilee — a joyful commemoration of faith that normally occurs every 25 years.
The door at St. Peter’s was sealed shut by a wall of bricks since the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy in 2016 and, on Dec. 2, those were ripped down to ready the door for opening as part of the rite of “recognition.”
After that Christmas Eve ritual, Pope Francis will open a symbolic door inside the Roman prison Rebibbia on Dec. 26, the feast of St. Stephen.
It will be the first time a pope has opened a Holy Door at a prison, reported the Denver Catholic.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J. Claims Drones Over New Jersey Launched from Iranian “Mothership” Off East Coast, “These Drones Should Be Shot Down”
December 11th, 2024Update: Pentagon Denies Reports Mystery Drones Coming From Iranian ‘Mothership’
Via: Newsweek:
The Pentagon is disputing a claim from Republican New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew, who said on Wednesday that the mystery drones that have been seen flying over his home state are originating from an Iranin “mothership.”
…
“From very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I’m going to tell you the real deal,” Van Drew said. “Iran launched a mothership probably a month ago that contains these drones.”
…
The Department of Defense denied the reports of the drones coming from Iran.
“There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so called mothership launching drones towards the United States,” a spokesperson for the Pentagon told reporters.

Israel Invades Syria
December 10th, 2024Via: Al Jazeera:
Israel has “seized” territory in Syrian-controlled areas of the Golan Heights, as its military warned Syrians living in five villages close to the Israeli-occupied portion of the strategic area to “stay home”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he ordered Israeli forces to grab a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria, after a lightning advance by Syrian opposition forces ended Bashar al-Assad’s rule.
Netanyahu said on Sunday that the decades-old agreement had collapsed and that Syrian soldiers had abandoned their positions, necessitating the Israeli takeover.
“We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border,” he said.
Israel captured a portion of the Golan Heights in the 1967 war and annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as illegally occupied Syrian territory.
…
Meanwhile, Israeli media said on Sunday that the Israeli air force has bombed weapons depots in southern Syria and Damascus to prevent opposition groups from seizing them.
“We attacked ammunition depots in southern Syria and in the Damascus airport area for fears they might fall into the hands of armed groups and local factions,” the Israeli public broadcaster KAN quoted an unnamed Israeli security official as saying.
“Israel is working to thwart any potential threats and prevent any damage to its air superiority in Syria,” the official added.
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said weapons depots and surface-to-surface missile stockpiles were the targets of Israeli attacks in Syria, without providing further details.
