F-35 Can’t Be Fixed Without Private Contractors
September 26th, 2023The F-35 is probably the biggest single scam in U.S. Military history.
Mission accomplished.
Via: Vice:
Like Apple’s new iPhone, America’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is expensive and hard to repair without intervention from the original manufacturer. According to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a bipartisan watchdog group in D.C., F-35s are only available for missions about half the time. A whole lot of these expensive jets are sitting in storage because they’re waiting on repair parts.
The F-35 is a troubled aircraft that’s been on the GAO’s radar for years. Its new report on the jet, “DOD and the Military Services Need to Reassess the Future Sustainment Strategy,” drilled down into why the aircraft spent so much time on the tarmac and not in the skies. “The F-35 fleet mission capable rate—the percentage of time the aircraft can perform one of its tasked missions—was about 55 percent in March 2023, far below program goals,” the GAO said. “The program was behind schedule in establishing depot maintenance activities to conduct repairs. As a result, component repair times remained slow with over 10,000 waiting to be repaired.”
Right now, the care and upkeep of F-35s has been contracted out to third parties. If something breaks on an F-35, it’s usually fixed by a defense contractor and not military engineers. This is part of why the jet is so expensive. “DOD has estimated overall costs for the program at more than $1.7 trillion over its life cycle, with the majority of the costs, about $1.3 trillion, associated with sustaining the aircraft,” the GAO said.
New York City to Spend $1.365 Billion on Hotels Alone to Shelter Migrants for Three More Years
September 26th, 2023Via: Daily Mail:
New York City is planning on spending a staggering extra $1billion on hotel rooms for immigrants for three more years.
The city’s contract with the more than 100 hotels-turned-shelters, which was supposed to end this year, will now end in August 2026 and cost a total $1.365 billion – almost five times the original price tag of $237 million.
The new cost does not include other facilities turned into shelters such as the tent shelters set up in the McCarren Recreation Center in Queens or the Island Shores Assisted Living in Staten Island.
Mayor Eric Adams said on September 9 that spending would be slashed by 15 percent through next spring to cope with the influx of 116,000 migrants in 2023, with 60,000 of the desperate people being housed in the city.
Biden Appoints Billionaire From CIA-Mafia Linked Family to Oversee Exploitation of Ukraine’s Economy by Multi-National Corporations
September 26th, 2023Via: Covert Action Magazine:
On September 14, President Joe Biden appointed former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, an heir to the Pritzker banking dynasty whose net worth is around $3.3 billion, to be Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery.
In a statement, Biden said that Ms. Pritzker would “drive the United States’ efforts to help rebuild the Ukrainian economy” by “working in lockstep with the Ukrainian government, our allies and partners, international financial institutions, and the private sector.”
The New York Times emphasized that Ms. Pritzker in her new job would encourage pro-investment strategies in Ukraine, and drum up public and private investment from other nations.
Put in different terms, Pritzker is to help open the floodgates to Ukraine’s economic exploitation by multi-national corporations which stand to profit from a war that the U.S. and Ukraine deliberately provoked as part of a scheme to weaken Russia.

JPMorgan Settles Jeffrey Epstein Case For $75 Million, Avoiding Trial
September 26th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
JPMorgan Chase has agreed to pay the US Virgin Islands (USVI) a scant $75 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the bank knowingly aided Jeffrey Epstein’s underage sex-trafficking operation, ending a legal battle that exposed all sorts of embarrassing ties between the bank and the dead pedophile.
The settlement was reached one month before the sides were scheduled to go to trial in Manhattan, where the USVI sought $190 million from the bank.
JPMorgan admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.
Earlier this month we learned that JPMorgan flagged over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein, which they claimed to have reported to the US government, according to a filing by the USVI.
Growing Numbers Of American Volunteers Wounded In Ukraine Treated At U.S. Army Hospital In Germany
September 26th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
The US Army is giving medical care to wounded American fighters who volunteered for Ukraine’s foreign legion and other militias at a hospital in Germany.
This is happening with increasing frequency at the US Army’s Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, a New York Times investigation found, which marks “a notable new step in the United States’ deepening involvement in the conflict,” as the report underscored.
…
The Times observed that the hospital “has quietly started admitting Ukrainian Army soldiers who were wounded in combat, most of them American volunteers.” This is unusual given the hospital would typically only treat active duty personnel.
The report described:
“A group of Ukrainian Army soldiers pierced by Russian grenades and mortar shells arrived at a hospital recently in need of surgery. It would have been a familiar scene from the bloody war grinding on in Ukraine, except for two crucial differences: Most of the wounded soldiers were American…”
“Though the number so far is small — currently 14 — it marks a notable new step in the United States’ deepening involvement in the conflict,” NYT continued.
Analog Telephone Service Ending in UK
September 26th, 2023Via: Daily Mail:
BT has confirmed the next phase of Digital Voice – the nationwide scrappage of the copper landline network for phone calls – will hit the North West and London later this year.
The phone operator is aiming to move away from old-style landlines entirely by the end of 2025, which will mean all households and businesses will need some form of internet connection in order to use the phone.
The move is part of an industry-wide shift away from analogue to digital landlines, meaning calls are made over the internet via a broadband line.
From 2025, all households and businesses will need the internet to make calls under a major digital shake-up – meaning millions of customers will be pushed online for the first time or forced to rely on a mobile phone instead.
Anti-Covid Drug Molnupiravir May Have Led to Virus Mutations
September 26th, 20232021: Prominent Virologist Warns COVID-19 Pill Could Unleash Dangerous Mutants
Via: AFP:
An anti-Covid drug widely used across the world may have caused mutations in the virus, researchers said, but there was no evidence that the changes had led to more dangerous variants.
Pharmaceutical giant Merck’s antiviral pill molnupiravir was one of the earliest treatments rolled out during the pandemic to prevent Covid becoming more severe in vulnerable people.
The drug, which is taken orally over a five-day course, works mainly by creating mutations in the virus with the goal of weakening and killing it.
However, a new UK-led study has shown that molnupiravir “can give rise to significantly mutated viruses which remain viable,” lead author Theo Sanderson said.
Sanderson, a geneticist at London’s Francis Crick Institute, emphasised that there is no evidence that “molnupiravir has to date created more transmissible or more virulent viruses”.
None of the variants that have swept the world were due to the drug, he added.
“AI Girlfriends Are Ruining an Entire Generation of Men” [???]
September 26th, 2023As far gone as things seem to be, is the situation actually much worse?
Via: The Hill:
The rise of virtual artificial intelligence (AI) girlfriends is enabling the silent epidemic of loneliness in an entire generation of young men. It is also having severe consequences for America’s future.
How is something that seems so ridiculous — a virtual AI girlfriend — causing a future crisis among Americans? Well, with millions of users, apps have created virtual girlfriends that talk to you, love you, allow you to live out your erotic fantasies, and learn, through data, exactly what you like and what you don’t like, creating the “perfect” relationship.
These virtual girlfriends can even be based on real people. One influencer created an AI bot of herself named Caryn, then gained over 1,000 users (i.e. real boyfriends) in less than a week and a waitlist of more than 15,000 people.
…
While the concept of an AI girlfriend may seem like a joke, it really isn’t that funny. It is enabling a generation of lonely men to stay lonely and childless, which will have devastating effects on the U.S. economy in less than a decade.
