“wonder why the Biden administration immediately offered to foot the bill for the entire disaster”
Just reading the tea leaves: More billions of taxpayer dollars distributed to cronies in the smash-and-grab being perpetrated by insiders who know the meltdown is coming and want to feather their nests before it tanks. The illusion that the government is anything other than a vast criminal enterprise is dissipating like the morning mist.
Um, hate to break it to you, but USCG is not under the military except in times of Congressionally declared war, and has not yet followed that crooked path, thankfully. I am very aware of the status of our military, and THOROUGHLY disgusted by it!
Probably, but not from those 2 agencies, likely! The USCG commandant is a lady not afraid to stand up to "Biden", and the NTSB has as yet not been corrupted. Their investigations and reports are as they have been as long as I've been aware of them, well over 6 decades!
Many people even on enlightened substacks don't want to include geoengineering. It's talked about as possibly being necessary in the future while it is clearly being implemented presently. I would add that to the list you have.
Not sure that money is really the motivating factor here.
I suspect it is more like Biden and the Deep State do not want anyone to find out what really happened.
Was it a false flag committed by our own intel agencies? Was is sabotage committed by the CCP? Does Ukraine have their sticky fingers involved somewhere?
That's the FORTUNATE thing! That means you won't act on the lies as if they are truth! You may even exercise your own brain in deciding what to do, instead, a very positive outcome! That's what we we're built to do. Ask Yhwh God if you need guidance; He never lies.
I cannot see how the insurance carriers are NOT the primary underwriters of the boat and its owners. What gives the idiot president that right to do as he pleases while disregarding the insurance carrier? How did the idiot pay college debts when it is beyond his purview? Where is that oaf Mike Johnson when you need him. Oh, I forgot. He's a RINO just like most of the Republican Congress?
How many feathers you think these assholes need? I think the goose is pretty well plucked and the water is boiling. All that's left to do is drop it in the pot.
Pressure cooking does not require lots of water. Just enough to maintain the steam. Also, it is under pressure, and this may help retain the fat in the meat.
Well, that'd be fine, if you wanted a glob of goose fat, but even all the fat drained off in roasting did not leave the meat in any way dry! You really don't want it in the meat. Think of your arteries!
Let's pretend for a moment that the Biden Administration wants to solve the problem, get the ship out of the way and reopen the harbor, and rebuild the bridge, as soon as practicable. That means fronting (printing) the money to cover the costs, then trying to recover from the liable parties and their insurance companies as much of the costs as possible.
Now, I agree that there likely will be plenty of sleaze going on and many costs that won't be reimbursed, but it'd take years to resolve even if everyone was being honest, and users of the port and the bridge shouldn't suffer any longer than necessary.
That's a pretty big imagination you've got there... WHEN was the last time, or rather 1st time, "Biden" did anything out of benevolence for anyone but his own kin???
It’s an election year and Maryland is solidly Democrat due to Baltimore and the DC suburbs.
He’s just paying off his friends and supporters….
In his first statement after the collapse, the Governor said:
“I have declared a State of Emergency here in Maryland and we are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden Administration. “
The wording made it sound like the governor was already touting the Biden Administration’s response before it even began.
I had a similar thought when I first heard the Governor’s statement at 6am.
The Biden Memorial Bridge has a nice ring to it.
Why not? After all, he paid for it /sarc
(That was sarcasm, but I bet it will be the logic that Maryland officials use when they decide on a new name for the bridge. I will be very surprised if they keep the old one, because Francis Scoot Key is just an old, dead, white male)
It always gets confusing about the role of The House in allocating money, vs the executive branch. I guess the factor is the amount of money under consideration.
Also, the capturing of federal agencies makes one wonder about a report or investigation done on the incident. Will anyone trust it?
All of these various mysteries, from the flash fires, the refineries going up, the farms, at least a few major derailments, deep water pipelines make people wonder. How the hell do all these things get accomplished, seemingly anonymously?
Same way Lee Harvey Oswald made a literally impossible shot with the "magic" bullet in Nov of '63: liars covered the truth up! They have been in collusion a very long time; in some cases, centuries!
Yes…good example of how conspirators can disappear into thin air after committing their crimes. Forensic crumbs all that remain to try to figure out the truth, after the incident.
For some, they are looking at what seems like a pattern of sabotage in which the saboteurs a flaunting their skills at evading detection and identification.
As do the repeated conflagrations in food processing plants the last several years. It's called infrastructure demolition.
And you don't have to have skills in detection or identification evasion if it's known in advance that a finger will NEVER be pointed at you. Dancing Israelis at the WTC Sept 11, 2001, comes to mind. Israelis, not Arabs as Trump for some reason said.
I'd be more willing to bet that Biden has some cargo on that ship he doesn't want opened, avoid an investigation and sweep everything under the rug while giving out contracts to all his buddies
The real question is was this Palestine Ohio train derailment part 2, death by a thousand cuts from the Globalists? Why were there 13 containers "hazardous" materials shipped from CDC to Sri Lanka?
So now that his conspiracy theory has been shown to be foolish, he's trying to cover up his tracks by providing 'technical information' he wants us to believe 'proves' his claim. Which is what, exactly? He claims he's seen no explanation that makes sense - but I provided a clear explanation here the other day in response to his first wild-eyed missive of nonsense. And none of it relies on current or wind...
I won't reprise my entire explanation here, I will just focus on on a couple of points.
1. Rudder power failover - It's clear the failover power on the Dali was its generators (two of them), and that's how the massive rudders that are subject to large forces are powered. You'll note that after the initial power outage, there is a resumption of power. I noted that there was no steaming light, indicating that this was backup, generator power. We then see a big smoke plume as the generator power is being used to restart the number 1 engine and more smoke as the engine is pushed to max power an thrown into reverse to try and slow the ship down. At this point, they have power for the rudder as well again.
The VDR is powered by a UPS. It's "missing data" only from the electronic sources during the initial power outage. Audio tracks of ships radios are still being recorded, the VDR worked fine - but without power there was no sensor/nav data to read. None of the technical data shared above means that Dali would not lose rudder control for a short period during a total power loss. consider they lost power twice in under 5 mins, and even if they hit the 45 second failover time, that's still 90 seconds of no rudder control if operating to spec. Also be clear - backup systems can and do fail. Things can happen to slow the regaining of control even after the rudder power is restored. The are huge hydraulic systems. When the power resumes you can bet there is a startup period, pressure has be restored to the system. I don't know the exact details of course but one should not read the tech details above and think that would have prevented what happened to the Dali. It could not. There is no immediate rudder power failover. Fyi, the deets of the Dali is that one rudder is powered by one of the ships two massive generator and it's programmed to failover as per specs and regs.
2. It wasn't the current - First off, there is a lil principle called cavitation that I should have explained in my first note on this. Cavitation are longitudinal forces that push a boat/ship the direction of the propeller spin. Props are designed to minimize this effect while moving forward, but its effects are much more pronounced when being reversed. The Dali's stern swings strongly to port, easily seen in the video and gps plot. This is caused by the full power being applied in reverse. This effort easily overwhelms the rudder commands. That his how the stern comes around.
If you watch the video carefully, you'll see the ship's bow veering to port slightly before the collision as the rudder commands begin to take effect. I am not surprised at all that the rudder does not respond instantly, it does not do so under normal conditions. This is a huge ship that if you wanted to stop it fully might take a mile. This all happened so quickly, and with two power outages.
This article seems to presume that ocean cargo ships have systems like modern airliners or something. They do not. There isn't instant failover for all systems, and the ships are slow. There is time to do things in most circumstances. This was really the 'perfect storm' of failures. The last failure in the chain was that the pillars of the bridge were not reinforced. We've learned from previous incidents that these pillars can be reinforced to withstand massive blows from ships. It's a big project and the footings are not small, perhaps it can't be retrofitted to this channel. It was always going to fail catastrophically if a ship struck it. And given the amount of shipping traffic, even a very low probability event like this was sure to happen at some point.
I will offer a comment about wind and current. That ship has HUGE 'windage' meaning even light winds have a significant effect on its direction when stacked high with containers. Any wind would have an observable effect, even if slight. As well, there is rarely no current in a channel.. So it's entirely possible that both wind and current had some effect, but it's probably small. Note that in such small body of water winds are puffy and not consistent, often effected by features on the land that channel the wind etc. Just cuz the water looks placid close the camera doesn't mean there couldn't be some breeze elsewhere that effected them.
Please stop the conspiracy theorizing. There is literally zero basis for any of it at this point. We do need to know the cause of the power failures and that info is starting to come out. Should it point to sabotage or intentional actions, then we have evidence for such claims. But we do not have any at this point. None.
I did a more in depth set of posts on the first article here, and was not received well. I'm very concerned about the trend on the Right now to fly into conspiracy theory so quickly on so many issues. But if you contravene them, they dogpile. It's so disheartening. One aspect that was distorted was my claim of 'expertise'. I made clear I'm certified to operate a vessel up to 60 feet in length anywhere in the world and have both cruised, raced and sailed offshore. I also made clear I do not operate on 1000 ft cargo ships. But the factors I've focused on are common across any boat/ship in a sense. I also cited a video by an expert on shipping, but none of that landed for numerous commenters. It's sad. I have nothing but loathing for this trend on the Right. Such wild BS needs to be STOMPED out by us before the MSM or our enemies do so. Many do not realize this is already a big problem in our own movement...
100% I spent what seemed a futile couple of hours the first night pointing out that flashes in the video occur after collapse and almost all occurred in areas of compression where we would see big metal parts banging or rubbing together during the collapse.
One does not need explosives to take out a truss bridge once you've removed one of the primary support columns. The whole thing is going to come down. I don't need a theory to explain what took out the column because the physical evidence is still there.
The cavitation from full reverse also seems to be completely lost on most people as is the fact that those big ships are highly influenced by winds when fully loaded. Even a couple gusts could alter the track. A lot of folks are assuming ships are built like airplanes from a redundancy perspective.
I know from my own experience in computing where every data center has dual everything, and we still get single incidents that take out the whole thing. Reading the specs or regulations is not even remotely helpful to determine what actually happened.
Well said. The explosive nonsense is even more ridiculous. These are the same vicious lunatics who peddle 9/11 Truth and that the CIA killed JFK I'm sure. Fyi, I'm 100x deeper on JFK for any of you who would like to rumble. You've been played so severely on JFK it's just sad. RFK too for that matter. A commie killed JFK and a Palestinian Jihadi killed RFK - but the leftists/globalists could never let that be the narrative, and sadly they have my fellow conservatives emitting this BS now. Fyi, Tucker Carlson proved NOTHING about JFK's death, nothing. He's becoming part of the problem in some ways, even as he does so much good. The message of the lesson is 'don't be so open minded that your effing brain falls out'...
Can't count the number of hours I've spent on 911 videos. I can say this, no one has ever shown me any direct credible evidence of DEWs or nukes. Those theories have tons of holes. I still don't buy controlled demolition, although I am open to discussing it, because the official explanation is highly flawed and incomplete. The incomplete investigation is what always triggers a ton of wild theories because something will always fill the void. So I'm open to "assisted" demolition, but have yet to see compelling evidence of it. I am certainly open to false flag, but again, I have not seen anywhere enough evidence to be certain.
As for JFK, the official scenario seems so highly flawed so again, it's hard to know what to believe. I haven't done enough first hand digging to form an opinion other than what we were told wasn't true.
Remember the firefighters who witnessed "rivers of molten steel"
Perhaps you are mistaken. There are many many credible scientists who have dissected the whole mess. See the work of the architect RICHARD GAGE. Colonel Robert Bowman himself became a 9-11 "truther" The truth about 911 is clear. Aluminum airplanes cannot "melt steel girders"....nor can they accomplish the total demolition of large buildings in mere seconds. You need to review this information.
Note that your commentary is careful and if you don't mind me saying, humble. You don't presume to know all the angles, on JFK, or RFK. I have zero issue with such an approach. I should also be clear that I realize I could be wrong, and am always open to new info. I'm drinking coffee post church on a lovely Easter Day and am in the mood to write. I'll do as pithy a summary of JFK as I can, and close with what's known and true about RFK's death, which was investigated deeply, multiple times.
I rely primarily on two sources for sorting out the wild, conflicting claims about JFK's death. Case Closed by Gerald Posner and Reclaiming History by Vincent Bugliosi. Posner's work was from the early '90s and Bugliosi's in 2008 or so.
Case Closed is perhaps the best work of investigative journalism I've ever read. Posner spares no expense and effort in this deeply researched effort, and his approach is brilliantly simple. He has no pre-ordained beliefs and chases each major theory down based on the evidence presented by its advocates. The top line is this: None of the theories has any merit or substantial evidence. At all. They are laughably stupid. I'll summarize.
1. Oswald couldn't have made the shot - Nope. Anyone who knows what actual 'errors' were made in the initial investigation knows that by the early '70s that the audio recording used to time Oswald's shots was examined using NEW state of the art audio signal analysis techniques. The recording had been obtained via a motorcycle cop's mic being left down during the event, captured on the dispatcher's recordings of all radio calls. It turns out one of the 'shots' was actually a car backfire. The audio signature is clear, and was reproduced and proven independently many times. Given the new timing, there is no problem with Oswald taking his shots that quickly.
Oswald scored very high when in the Marines on marksmanship, he was known to be a good shot as such things are in the Marines. The rifle used was actually an Italian military surplus sniper quality rifle, in a sniper's/hunter's caliber (6.5) with a serviceable if inexpensive optic on it. Numerous shooters have reenacted the shots taken with this rifle. Fyi, for those who listen to Roger Stone you'll note he still clings to ideas about the rifle and shots that were debunked 40+ years ago in some cases, it's just sad.
"The Magic Bullet" - Nope. All three shots behaved very much as any trauma surgeon or ballistic analyst would expect. Again, consider that Posner produces compelling, exhaustive expert analyses on this in the early '90s, and in some cases was just republishing analyses already completed. This is just a lie at this stage of the game. As well, the three shots all came from the Book Depository, the ballistics analysis all are consistent. There is no actual evidence of another shooter. At all. None. Zip. Nunca. Nada.
Oswald could not have acted alone - The best part of Posner's book is that it contains a 200 page biography of Oswald in it. He collected and published a ton of new, valid info on Oswald and his life. After reading this, one easily believes that Oswald shot JFK. The high points include a lifetime of violence, including many offenses as a teen that had him being thrown out of multiple schools for violence. His clear psychological problems are apparent from an early age and do not improve. He picked up his communism while in the military, which he joined to avoid going to jail. He had an increasingly horrible rep on the Marines as it was well known that he had flipped. One might not appreciate how that in the '50s that communism was still seen as a political viewpoint with some legitimacy, even as it was our enemy. There were more outspoken critics in our own govt and military than you might realize back then, and more communists. Surely he became a pariah as he did self-paced courses in Russian and also his anti-social behavior didn't work well in the Marines. He was not able to be an effective bully and this fueled a rage inside his psychotic mind.
He also used the same rifle to try to assassinate the Air Force General, retired, who headed the John Birch Society 6 mos earlier with the same rifle. There are pictures of him posing with the rifle in his backyard. He was known to go target shooting.
Bugliosi's work seems to be designed to complement Posner's. He dives as deeply into Jack Ruby's life as Posner did Oswald's. Ruby was a huge Kennedy fan and was literally pitched into some kind of nervous breakdown watching Jackie Kennedy's grabbing JFK's skull and then her later appearance with blood spatter. It's incredibly well sourced and there simply is no evidence of CIA or Mafia.
He does the same on the CIA claims (Posner does as well but not as deeply). What I discovered is that there are only two bits of 'evidence' for this theory. One is that Oswald was at a base in Japan as a radio operator that also hosted a CIA operation focused on Russia. The source is a guy who served 2 years previous, never met or saw Oswald, nor had any direct or indirect knowledge of his doing so. Merely the fact that he was stationed there. The rest was speculation. There was also a guy who mentioned he heard of a record of a payment to Oswald but could not produce the source, nor evidence of the payment. That's it. Nothing else.
The latest book on the CIA angle is basically a JFK worship session based on mythology about JFK that has often been debunked by declassified docs. The Warren Report has released almost everything it had. And even then, you are asking any sentient American to believe Earl freaking Warren was a stooge for the CIA - do ya know who he was? Turns out many govt reports like this don't release everything to spare people embarrassment. What's very likely is that the Warren Commission didn't want to release the trove of information on JFK's dalliances with many women, including prostitutes and one Soviet intel agent, lol.
Bugliosi goes on to deal with Jack Ruby conclusively. By the time he shoots Oswald, the arc that got him there is totally believable.
There are so many other threads that it's impossible to address more than a handful here. Oliver Stone's entire nonsense-narrative can be dismissed by the fact that Jim Garrison's case was laughed out of court in New Orleans in a couple of hours, and that's essentially the story Stone told. Garrison was a laughing stock to the public after and lost his job as a prosecutor due to how nonsensical the case was.
Most of the rest of the CIA theorizing spends hundreds of pages on the tension between DoD and CIA and JFK. And it's true they were at loggerheads over many things, including JFK opening up a direct channel with Kruschev that allowed him to undermine JFK's own NatSec team. JFK famously missed Castro's overt communism since participating in a hit squad in Colombia in the late '40s, and being an overt agent of the Third International that the USSR Communist Party ran out of Havana to destabilize Central America. JFK ignored the mountains of evidence, and instead bought Castro's and Kruschev's lies - our NatSec folks were outraged with JFK for legit reasons. But to move from that to killing him? Are you crazy? With NO evidence?
I'll stop now. It was fun. Probably shouldn't be here, I hope folks don't mind. I'm hoping some curious people might be interested in a coherent narrative that analyzes these claims.
RFK autopsy showed he was shot through rear right ear . Your 'Palestinian Jihadi' was 5 feet in front of him at time of his shooting. Don't know many people with 5 foot arms to curle round and shoot a person in the ear. Then as you say your the expert on this and the 'magic bullet' in the JFK killing we should all defer to your intelligence
Everyone is just doing what you are! Talking! Yes some are not using using facts. However, people are entitled to their opinions still, wait we are still right?
Well said, sir. The immediate response by far too many is to elevate to the ceiling with their hair on fire. I agree with nearly all of what you said above RE: The particulars of a ship with loss of power; It appeared to me the stern moved to starboard at first, perhaps in response to a current or windage, both of which may affect a vessel of any size when power is lost, causing the danger of a broadside hit to the bridge. Tight quarters maneuvering is a dicey business at best with a 1,000 feet of hull, and the air height of a loaded container vessel. i question only the absence of escort Tugs which to me seemed foolish from the first. I read the DOT severely reduced funding for Harbor Tug operations in multiple ports. Obviously, in retrospect, a foolish mistake, especially given the obvious squandering of huge amounts of cash on government nonsense. I am not an authority, but 15 years of Volunteer duty in the USCG in public education and port security, and USCG Operations taught me a few things; Also, this mess needs to be cleared immediately. The money will have to be sorted out later.
Very well put! I have more experience with planes and their flukes, and even modern airliners, especially the jumbos, do not respond instantly, at their best! In a crisis, where hydraulics are, or have failed, even less so. Winds would apply as you point out, anyone who has driven an high profile vehicle knows that, if they have done so, out in the wide open spaces. I agree; let the authorities investigate and test, before assuming it was an attack of some sort. Main and back-up system failures simultaneously are not unheard of, although rare.
Depending on the dock situation and ship, it may have left the dock under its own power although tugs would almost certainly be present. Tugs in a channel or on the open water are almost always towing barges. But as soon as the ship is moving under its own power in a channel tugs would not normally be assisting. As noted by Sandra, a pilot is onboard the vessel to provide navigational input to the ships master/captain, but all decisions are ultimately the captains. My understanding at this point is that the pilot was issuing commands directly to the helm and engineering and they were obeyed, and were correct given the circumstances.
Rudder power failover - It's clear the failover power on the Dali was its generators (two of them), and that's how the massive rudders that are subject to large forces are powered. You'll note that after the initial power outage, there is a resumption of power. I noted that there was no steaming light, indicating that this was backup, generator power. We then see a big smoke plume as the generator power is being used to restart the number 1 engine and more smoke as the engine is pushed to max power an thrown into reverse to try and slow the ship down. At this point, they have power for the rudder as well again.
Explain to me about how having run on diesel the ship has no steering? Which it should?
Tanks for your info , as a longtime retired trade CEng on VLCC's myself In many of these sensation stories I am pulling my hairs about all the nonsense published.
But not too long to offer a snarky comment on? Let's be honest. You are certain that Lizard People took a break from their GloboHomo Pedo Rings to plant an MK Ultra agent aboard the Dali, yes? Am I close?
I sail but don't steer ships. My initial thoughts are:
1. It is highly unlikely a huge ship going one direction at 8 knots, could lose power AND then change course AND still hit a pylon basically head-on ALL by accident. Statistics would indicate more space then pylon under bridge and non-head-on collision more likely if any accident were to occur.
2. Occams Razor: In order to hit that pylon nearly head-on someone had to want that outcome. The dramatic turn out of channel followed by straight run into pylon can be explained by chance? Or by random miscalculated actions on board?
3. Huge media parroting op long before any investigation: "This wasn't terrorism, stop being a conspiracy theorist! Hmmmmmm. So asking questions & speculating s conspiracy now?
That was rhe most damning part, the media all spewing the same govt line within hours. When they do that, what they're saying is usually the opposite of the truth. Now, conveniently missing data on the black box, and watching the video footage of the sharp turn towards the pilon just all looks way too "coincidental". If a skeptic expert were allowed to conduct an independent investigation, as well as searching all containers on the ship (especially the evergreen containers), id be more likely to believe rhe outcome. Govt just has zero credibility, and are itching to get their next emergency underway to tighten their grip through emergency "measures". Breaking down supply chains is not going to help w civil unrest.
It’s often the cover up, that is the “Tell”. It’s the same immediate “nothing to see here” explanation, followed by obfuscation and misdirection. This smells like Lahaina, East Palestine and West Texas Fires.
What do the Francis Scott Key Bridge and WTC Bldg 7 have in common?
1) Both collapsed into their own footprint in less than 7 seconds.
2) Neither is explicable by other than deliberate structural integrity compromise;
a. "normal office fires" CAN NOT induce simultaneous global structural failure in a steel frame building such as 7 was
b. the ship DID NOT "drift" into that pylon
3) In just hours, the FBI KNEW , in 7 who did it, and in FSK bridge it wasn't Terrorism.
4) Critical evidence is compromised or removed.
5) Massive insurance industry involvement is integral to both.
6) US taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill.
Other commonalities will come to light. I'm gonna go with Lara Logan's initial take; we're seeing the result of a cyber attack by parties as yet unknown. Like 9/11, this was deliberate.
9/11 terrorized the US populace into supporting a war of terror that was exported to the world.
Thank you, Dennis Mcgee--Very concise...this makes a cogent argument here--The truly frustrating (and absurd) situation is that "intelligent" people still think Arabs hijacking passenger planes took down the WTC and building 7. Even more disturbing on that day was the giant hole in the pentagon happening at around the same time....and then apparently the pentagon moved its offices immediately -- all as smooth as you please. Yes--the monsters have the peeps hypnotized as they slowly suck the life out of the free world. I dread the world my grandchildren must live in. How to stop this?
Thank you Kathleen. I wish I knew an answer to your question. Sadly, I don't think it can be stopped. This is one of those progressions of Universe that will have it's way with us all. Best we can hope for I think is mitigation, mediation on personal levels. I just hope our grandchildren survive and have a World to live on that will support carbon based life forms. There hasn't been a time before now when human intervention (geoengineering) has threatened to destroy the biosphere's ability to support life as we know it. I am throwing my energies into food, ammo and legislative interventions from the State level against a rogue Federal Govt that is hell bent on our destruction. In TN we're pushing for a Nullification framework and a law that prohibits "intentional release" of garbage into our atmosphere designed to reflect sunlight. I can only guess how effective these efforts will prove to be, but to not try is to choose to die stupidly. We can't just give up.
I agree. I also don't find it in my heart just sit back and watch it. I am too old to consider arming myself or homesteading...though I did have a large garden at one time. When I see the entire sky covered in expanding white gunk I am furious. I am caring for my 77 vaccine injured husband who has a lot of mobility issues right now.
But I give away books, send links and hand out flyers when appropriate. Didja see Ed Dowd's CAUSE UNKNOWN.... this book is devastating to the "narrative"...page after page of beautiful (and young!) people who just dropped dead and "no one knows why"
It's even happening to celebrities....see Mark Crispin Miller substack DIED SUDDENLY
This crime can't be covered up. But what can be done?
At 71, the wife and I are just whippersnappers who are going to have to "ride it out" in place. She has serious mobility issues too, and I'm not a lot better. I've pretty much given up on starting our 2nd Amendment response myself though I think that's the most likely progression from here. I take quite a bit of flack for pushing for legislative responses, but what the hell? I'm hoping something along those lines can have positive impact. I continue to believe we (USA) have the best governing system yet devised while acknowledging it has been bastardized ruthlessly for decades by Globalists disguised as domestic "public servants". Can't help any of that. I also continue to believe the significant majority of humans are decent people who just want to live free and will follow a leader who supports our mutual benefit.
I want to believe TN will pass Nullification legislation that will enable us to defy the entire "body of law" that indemnifies Pharma so we can seek legal remedies and start the ball rolling to Official Disclosure and a long overdue Reckoning in the "public-private" boondoggle that has resulted in the covid apocalypse and the near infinite list of all else that besets us.
We must keep hope alive. I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that so many people conceded to the "mandates"....and took these injections. The PREP act must go. This is what has enabled the PHARMA BIOWEAPON ASSAULT. Thanks for the information about the TN initiative.
Perhaps many more will follow. Rand Paul has been the only good politician I have seen and he is from Kentucky....
Agree with you 100%. All shipping is also currently on hold due to this and whoever is responsible knows all this!! Holds up a lot of what comes and goes through that harbor!!
Yep. This is so much bigger than 9/11. The war is here now. We have no way of knowing the long term implications of the I-95 breach catastrophe. The "simple" immediate and long term supply chain disruption is the very least of it.
Where are the charges of the captain? Two days after the grounding of the Exxon Valdez, the National Transportation Safety Board reported that the captain of the Exxon Valdez was legally drunk when he was tested some 10 hours after the incident.
On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Tuscany after hitting a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Francesco Schettino, the captain of the cruise liner, was jailed for 16 years for multiple manslaughter after the disaster that left 32 people dead
This is a bigger disaster to our economy, to the families who lost family members, to the water and sea life in the harbor. And more. Yet nothing. Will there be any charges or will it be like the WEF monsters who still run free?
There's no evidence of any wrongdoing at this point on the part of the pilot. He just happened to be working when the incident occurred. I'm glad he lawyered up asap, he knows he's gonna be made the scapegoat and it had nothing to do w him I would bet.
So many “experts” will always comment whenever there is a disaster. I don’t know the first thing about shipping so won’t comment about the mechanics/physics of the Dali disaster. However, since COVID, I’m hesitant to believe what the government tells me. Trust but verify…
I trust that they're lying when they speak and usually waiting a few weeks to see how it pans out verifies that was the case. Difference between a conspiracy and the truth is less than a few months these days.
you are so right, Yela ...all signs point to this being more work of the murderous globalist cabal who think it is their right and prevlige to own the entire world and direct the currents of history. But as Reiner Fuellmich has stated many times, the forces of light will emerge victorious. Soon , praise God....let it be soon. I want to live to see my grandchildren grow up in a free country.
The insurance company of the vessel would conduct its own investigation - unless of course someone else decided they would assume all costs. Which would be a great way to block a 3rd party investigation and control the outcome. However, those injured or the family of those whose lives were lost - also have a claim against the insurer of the vessel. My take on that announcement was that the US government would immediately release funding for removal and rebuilding and not that the owner/operator and insurer would not be held liable. Would be interesting to see how this was handled in other infrastructure collision cases.
If you to make a boat/ship turn on a dime, drop a bow anchor and turn the rudder. Otherwise it will maintain its course. This is basic seamanship. This was not an accident. And Biden's quick response was based on a lengthy consideration of all implications, not possible in just a few hours.
The one mistake he made is the same one the officer on the bridge of Titanic made too: trying to back up "on a dime". Large ships take time he did not have to go from forward drive to reverse, and the cavitation of the screws trying to get into reverse pushed the starbord stem into the bridge pilons despite the already dropped port anchor and efforts to steer port! He was just too close, and inertia was in effect as well as wind and currents. Ever drive an high profile vehicle on an open road? That was an high profile vehicle broadside to the winds.
Don't you find it an interesting "coincidence" Trump gives a speech in which he threatens China with one hundred percent tariff on cars built by China coming over the southern boarder and the next thing you know a major port and trade corridor is disrupted?
Don't you find it interesting that the right rudder
Input stopped and the ship straightened out once the bow was on a collision course with the bridge pillar?
If the rudder had been stuck the ship would have continued it's right hand turn, no? and would've missed the pillar or struck it a glancing blow. Don't you find that curious?
If someone was trying to shut down a very busy port and shipping corridor to send a message but didn't want to incur the wrath of a nations people by killing large numbers of them, wouldn't they do it in the wee hours of the morning when traffic was lightest?
Now there's a conspiracy theory I can sink my teeth into😉
Don’t you find it an interesting coincidence that the Dali attack (yes, attack) came just days after the ISIS (cough, Ukrainian/US, cough) attack? Don’t you find it an interesting coincidence that Zelensky just threatened Congress, stating that if he didn’t get millions more in aide, he would start attacking Russian infrastructure? Interesting because every time Russian infrastructure is attacked, there is an infrastructure “incident” in the US (oil refineries, food factories, etc.) just days after the Russian attacks.🤔🤔🤔. Maybe China. Maybe Russia. Maybe both working in tandem. But make no mistake. We are being attacked.
China owns the US lock stock and barrel. They took the keys to the castle following the Jan 6 American Reichstag. This was clearly evident when they through their treasonous cohorts in Congress deployed a security fence and the military around the capital for the installation of the puppet government with Obama finishing what he started but blaming it on the incompetent, corrupt, child molesting, baby sniffing, pedophile and chief. They have been directing US foreign policy ever since. I would go with China.
Who benefits from a US war with Russia?
WWIII has started. It just hasn't gone open an unrestricted yet. The US will likely be in a full on quazi civil war by November or shortly there after. They (CIA) may let Trump win and if so Antifa and BLM will be used as street generals commanding the 20 million illegals who've been openly threatened with deportation by Trump I'd he wins. They aren't gonna go quietly. The US military will need to be called out to put down a real I insurrection and the mocking bird media will accuse Trump of being a dictator (see we told you this was going to happen) because they set the table. This will further whip libtards into a murderous frenzy. And all hell will break lose.
This detailed attempt at exegesis by true crime author Mr. Leake is getting a little too close to the encyclopedic range of conspiracies supposedly involving Lizard People now sitting in their underground command post east of Omaha, those semi-reptiles who so often work in concert with fly fisherman Dick Cheney, the ghost of clergyman Liberace, and the ghost of musician Elvis.
Attacked from within i would suspect, Russia and China r convenient scapegoats. The deep state has been trying to provoke Russia into a larger scale war since the beginning of the Ukraine bs. More truth is coming out re Ukraine and biolabs, Cia bases and money laundering/human trafficking thru Ukraine. Who knows tho
A starbord turn would've turned it INTO the bridge, not away from. The harbor pilot dropped the port side anchor and used what steering was available to turn toward the port, away from the bridge.
The technical information in this post is very dense. What I gather is that the bridge collapse must have been a deliberate event for political gain. Sorry to be so obtuse, Mr. Leake...but does this mean you think CCP is behind this? Or who benefits from this disaster?
I am consistently very impressed with your ability to get to the bottom of crimes others have left unsolved....starting with the COLD A LONG TIME...thank you so much for your work.
Those youtube links are to Sal Mercogliano's "What's Going on with Shipping" channel, which I agree is a reliable source. He includes links to videos by others going into detail on various aspects. He also notes that the emergency generator _should_ have started within 45 seconds, but actually took 58 seconds to start.
Biden spit in the face of God by proclaiming this holy day of Easter as “Transgender Visibility Day.” God have mercy on us. I thought Biden already proclaimed a day in June, during “Pride Month” to be “Transgender Visibility Day.”
I, like Abraham, have been bargaining with God. God, if there are only 50 righteous people in our country, will you save us? What if there are only 20 righteous people, or only 10 righteous people, will you save us?
The 6th day of the month of April is this Saturday. Will you join me in fasting and prayer for the salvation of our country and justice and reparations for the J6 political prisoners? I will continue this on the 6th day of every month.
Biden is purposefully trying to provoke the "Christian right"...meaning those of us who have some moral compass and love our beautiful country, our families and our deeply held belief in the "rule of law" as put forth in our legal documents such as The Constitution. The bible is a fundamental cornerstone of our civilization. But that is off the topic...
Anyway I believe all this "transgender" nonsense is thrown in to confuse the peeps and condone the attachment of labels such as "hater" or "conspiracy theorist" on normal people. I have known gay people for many years that I like and respect. Most live quiet monogamous lives with their partners very like the rest of us. They comprise a very small minority--some very brilliant scientists, musicians and artists have been homosexuals. Why does anyone care what they do with their dicks.....as long as no one is harmed. i.e. NO PEDOPHILES of any type of sexual proclivity. It is clear the globalists are pedophiles.
This issue --transgender etc--which is pertaining to about 4% of the population is moot to the terrible things happening right now--All our children are now endangered ...no matter their "sexual orientation" their "gender" or whether they want to wear a dress. Biden didn't just spit in God's face...he spit in all our faces who value their freedom, their independence and their lives.
I understand that the Dali had several power glitches before starting the voyage, and may have been related to too much refrigeration power requirements. They tried load balancing the refrigerators to keep each source under its limit but total power was still too high. If so, it never should have left port.
What's the refrigeration for? Serious question. I thought this corridor was mainly for hazmat and fuels. And, apparently some sketchy shipments from the cdc
That sounds plausible! I did read that the port made them do maintenance before they left and then gave the green light. They had 2 MPA pilots on board at the time of the crash so this may have been a factor that was going on at the time!
“wonder why the Biden administration immediately offered to foot the bill for the entire disaster”
Just reading the tea leaves: More billions of taxpayer dollars distributed to cronies in the smash-and-grab being perpetrated by insiders who know the meltdown is coming and want to feather their nests before it tanks. The illusion that the government is anything other than a vast criminal enterprise is dissipating like the morning mist.
More like the insurance companies would do an investigation to find out what happened.
Discovery...
The USCG, and NTSB will anyway, so that doesn't wash. More likely it's the theft of citizens' money by gov't crooks again.
It's more like a complete coverup of what really happened.
US has history with that kind of stuff:
-JFK assassination
-Gulf of Tonkin
-9/11
-origins of covid the bioweapon
I'm aware; I also know the NTSB investigated NONE of those, neither did the USCG!
Uh...hate to break it to you...but the military is super woke.
I should know...I am retired military.
Um, hate to break it to you, but USCG is not under the military except in times of Congressionally declared war, and has not yet followed that crooked path, thankfully. I am very aware of the status of our military, and THOROUGHLY disgusted by it!
Glad to see that you are optimistic.
However, I am pretty sure there will still be some level of a cover up.
Probably, but not from those 2 agencies, likely! The USCG commandant is a lady not afraid to stand up to "Biden", and the NTSB has as yet not been corrupted. Their investigations and reports are as they have been as long as I've been aware of them, well over 6 decades!
Many people even on enlightened substacks don't want to include geoengineering. It's talked about as possibly being necessary in the future while it is clearly being implemented presently. I would add that to the list you have.
I guess the insurance companies are off the hook if Biden says US taxpayers will foot the entire bill.
Not sure that money is really the motivating factor here.
I suspect it is more like Biden and the Deep State do not want anyone to find out what really happened.
Was it a false flag committed by our own intel agencies? Was is sabotage committed by the CCP? Does Ukraine have their sticky fingers involved somewhere?
I smell the stench of CIA.......MI6, and the Ukies.
Agree.
Well, the ship was built by Hyundai
Or could it have just been "shit happens" at inconvenient times? Don't yet rule that out as a possibility. All those are on the tablestill.
The unfortunate thing is that most of us no longer believe what our government tells us.
Covid cured me of that...
That's the FORTUNATE thing! That means you won't act on the lies as if they are truth! You may even exercise your own brain in deciding what to do, instead, a very positive outcome! That's what we we're built to do. Ask Yhwh God if you need guidance; He never lies.
I cannot see how the insurance carriers are NOT the primary underwriters of the boat and its owners. What gives the idiot president that right to do as he pleases while disregarding the insurance carrier? How did the idiot pay college debts when it is beyond his purview? Where is that oaf Mike Johnson when you need him. Oh, I forgot. He's a RINO just like most of the Republican Congress?
The insurance companies are big players in the entire racket.
Yes. But they at least have investigators.
Unlike Biden, who will just pay for it.
Yup. Biden is very generous with taxpayers money. Mr. Benevolent.
Spending our money like a drunken sailor.
(Apologies to all my fellow drunken sailors everywhere.)
At least drunken sailors STOP spending when their money runs out, usually.
The point is that no one any longer believes what the "authorities" tell us.
How many feathers you think these assholes need? I think the goose is pretty well plucked and the water is boiling. All that's left to do is drop it in the pot.
You don't boil a goose, you roast it, unless you just want a pot of goose grease for something! Even roasting requires a "midway" draining of the fat.
Now you know why my wife does the cooking😉
Very wise plan!😉
Apparently you can pressure cook it: https://www.wildharvesttable.com/2021/03/13/goose-meat-pressure-cooker-perfection/
But I'm a vegetarian, so I haven't tried.
Not sure how that would work with all the fat that comes off them.
Pressure cooking does not require lots of water. Just enough to maintain the steam. Also, it is under pressure, and this may help retain the fat in the meat.
Well, that'd be fine, if you wanted a glob of goose fat, but even all the fat drained off in roasting did not leave the meat in any way dry! You really don't want it in the meat. Think of your arteries!
LOLOL I was trying to with the goose is cooked but he talked about feathers and I musta got all confused😂
Okay; I have actually cooked a goose, so know what you get. I have also plucked birds for cooking.
Let's pretend for a moment that the Biden Administration wants to solve the problem, get the ship out of the way and reopen the harbor, and rebuild the bridge, as soon as practicable. That means fronting (printing) the money to cover the costs, then trying to recover from the liable parties and their insurance companies as much of the costs as possible.
Now, I agree that there likely will be plenty of sleaze going on and many costs that won't be reimbursed, but it'd take years to resolve even if everyone was being honest, and users of the port and the bridge shouldn't suffer any longer than necessary.
Pretend indeed.
That's a pretty big imagination you've got there... WHEN was the last time, or rather 1st time, "Biden" did anything out of benevolence for anyone but his own kin???
It’s an election year and Maryland is solidly Democrat due to Baltimore and the DC suburbs.
He’s just paying off his friends and supporters….
In his first statement after the collapse, the Governor said:
“I have declared a State of Emergency here in Maryland and we are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden Administration. “
The wording made it sound like the governor was already touting the Biden Administration’s response before it even began.
Future headline:
The bridge formerly known as the Francis Scott Key bridge, renamed The Biden Way, is due to fully open to traffic next week."
I had a similar thought when I first heard the Governor’s statement at 6am.
The Biden Memorial Bridge has a nice ring to it.
Why not? After all, he paid for it /sarc
(That was sarcasm, but I bet it will be the logic that Maryland officials use when they decide on a new name for the bridge. I will be very surprised if they keep the old one, because Francis Scoot Key is just an old, dead, white male)
Probably was.
It always gets confusing about the role of The House in allocating money, vs the executive branch. I guess the factor is the amount of money under consideration.
Also, the capturing of federal agencies makes one wonder about a report or investigation done on the incident. Will anyone trust it?
I believe $10K is the cut off; at least it was last I saw. After that House approval is needed... Depends on if it actually makes sense or not...
All of these various mysteries, from the flash fires, the refineries going up, the farms, at least a few major derailments, deep water pipelines make people wonder. How the hell do all these things get accomplished, seemingly anonymously?
Same way Lee Harvey Oswald made a literally impossible shot with the "magic" bullet in Nov of '63: liars covered the truth up! They have been in collusion a very long time; in some cases, centuries!
Yes…good example of how conspirators can disappear into thin air after committing their crimes. Forensic crumbs all that remain to try to figure out the truth, after the incident.
But… the bridge is racist so we as taxpayers owe it reparations 🤡
Don't trust anything from this administration. ANYTHING!
For some, they are looking at what seems like a pattern of sabotage in which the saboteurs a flaunting their skills at evading detection and identification.
The Nord Stream Pipeline comes to mind.
As do the repeated conflagrations in food processing plants the last several years. It's called infrastructure demolition.
And you don't have to have skills in detection or identification evasion if it's known in advance that a finger will NEVER be pointed at you. Dancing Israelis at the WTC Sept 11, 2001, comes to mind. Israelis, not Arabs as Trump for some reason said.
We know who did that...
I'd be more willing to bet that Biden has some cargo on that ship he doesn't want opened, avoid an investigation and sweep everything under the rug while giving out contracts to all his buddies
They are saying 10 years to build the bridge Read that yesterday but who knows
IMO: Biden wants the new bridge to be named after him.
George Floyd more likely
The real question is was this Palestine Ohio train derailment part 2, death by a thousand cuts from the Globalists? Why were there 13 containers "hazardous" materials shipped from CDC to Sri Lanka?
It’s pretty obvious that it’s just like the DEW attack in Lahaina. Don’t expect any answers from the mainstream media or the government.
The answer is yes. This is what unrestricted war looks like. It ain't over. By along shot.
Completely planned
Cut off supply chains, it's a new "state of emergency" in the making
For disposal.
So now that his conspiracy theory has been shown to be foolish, he's trying to cover up his tracks by providing 'technical information' he wants us to believe 'proves' his claim. Which is what, exactly? He claims he's seen no explanation that makes sense - but I provided a clear explanation here the other day in response to his first wild-eyed missive of nonsense. And none of it relies on current or wind...
I won't reprise my entire explanation here, I will just focus on on a couple of points.
1. Rudder power failover - It's clear the failover power on the Dali was its generators (two of them), and that's how the massive rudders that are subject to large forces are powered. You'll note that after the initial power outage, there is a resumption of power. I noted that there was no steaming light, indicating that this was backup, generator power. We then see a big smoke plume as the generator power is being used to restart the number 1 engine and more smoke as the engine is pushed to max power an thrown into reverse to try and slow the ship down. At this point, they have power for the rudder as well again.
The VDR is powered by a UPS. It's "missing data" only from the electronic sources during the initial power outage. Audio tracks of ships radios are still being recorded, the VDR worked fine - but without power there was no sensor/nav data to read. None of the technical data shared above means that Dali would not lose rudder control for a short period during a total power loss. consider they lost power twice in under 5 mins, and even if they hit the 45 second failover time, that's still 90 seconds of no rudder control if operating to spec. Also be clear - backup systems can and do fail. Things can happen to slow the regaining of control even after the rudder power is restored. The are huge hydraulic systems. When the power resumes you can bet there is a startup period, pressure has be restored to the system. I don't know the exact details of course but one should not read the tech details above and think that would have prevented what happened to the Dali. It could not. There is no immediate rudder power failover. Fyi, the deets of the Dali is that one rudder is powered by one of the ships two massive generator and it's programmed to failover as per specs and regs.
2. It wasn't the current - First off, there is a lil principle called cavitation that I should have explained in my first note on this. Cavitation are longitudinal forces that push a boat/ship the direction of the propeller spin. Props are designed to minimize this effect while moving forward, but its effects are much more pronounced when being reversed. The Dali's stern swings strongly to port, easily seen in the video and gps plot. This is caused by the full power being applied in reverse. This effort easily overwhelms the rudder commands. That his how the stern comes around.
If you watch the video carefully, you'll see the ship's bow veering to port slightly before the collision as the rudder commands begin to take effect. I am not surprised at all that the rudder does not respond instantly, it does not do so under normal conditions. This is a huge ship that if you wanted to stop it fully might take a mile. This all happened so quickly, and with two power outages.
This article seems to presume that ocean cargo ships have systems like modern airliners or something. They do not. There isn't instant failover for all systems, and the ships are slow. There is time to do things in most circumstances. This was really the 'perfect storm' of failures. The last failure in the chain was that the pillars of the bridge were not reinforced. We've learned from previous incidents that these pillars can be reinforced to withstand massive blows from ships. It's a big project and the footings are not small, perhaps it can't be retrofitted to this channel. It was always going to fail catastrophically if a ship struck it. And given the amount of shipping traffic, even a very low probability event like this was sure to happen at some point.
I will offer a comment about wind and current. That ship has HUGE 'windage' meaning even light winds have a significant effect on its direction when stacked high with containers. Any wind would have an observable effect, even if slight. As well, there is rarely no current in a channel.. So it's entirely possible that both wind and current had some effect, but it's probably small. Note that in such small body of water winds are puffy and not consistent, often effected by features on the land that channel the wind etc. Just cuz the water looks placid close the camera doesn't mean there couldn't be some breeze elsewhere that effected them.
Please stop the conspiracy theorizing. There is literally zero basis for any of it at this point. We do need to know the cause of the power failures and that info is starting to come out. Should it point to sabotage or intentional actions, then we have evidence for such claims. But we do not have any at this point. None.
Someone with mechanical understanding finally posting about this.
I did a more in depth set of posts on the first article here, and was not received well. I'm very concerned about the trend on the Right now to fly into conspiracy theory so quickly on so many issues. But if you contravene them, they dogpile. It's so disheartening. One aspect that was distorted was my claim of 'expertise'. I made clear I'm certified to operate a vessel up to 60 feet in length anywhere in the world and have both cruised, raced and sailed offshore. I also made clear I do not operate on 1000 ft cargo ships. But the factors I've focused on are common across any boat/ship in a sense. I also cited a video by an expert on shipping, but none of that landed for numerous commenters. It's sad. I have nothing but loathing for this trend on the Right. Such wild BS needs to be STOMPED out by us before the MSM or our enemies do so. Many do not realize this is already a big problem in our own movement...
100% I spent what seemed a futile couple of hours the first night pointing out that flashes in the video occur after collapse and almost all occurred in areas of compression where we would see big metal parts banging or rubbing together during the collapse.
One does not need explosives to take out a truss bridge once you've removed one of the primary support columns. The whole thing is going to come down. I don't need a theory to explain what took out the column because the physical evidence is still there.
The cavitation from full reverse also seems to be completely lost on most people as is the fact that those big ships are highly influenced by winds when fully loaded. Even a couple gusts could alter the track. A lot of folks are assuming ships are built like airplanes from a redundancy perspective.
I know from my own experience in computing where every data center has dual everything, and we still get single incidents that take out the whole thing. Reading the specs or regulations is not even remotely helpful to determine what actually happened.
Well said. The explosive nonsense is even more ridiculous. These are the same vicious lunatics who peddle 9/11 Truth and that the CIA killed JFK I'm sure. Fyi, I'm 100x deeper on JFK for any of you who would like to rumble. You've been played so severely on JFK it's just sad. RFK too for that matter. A commie killed JFK and a Palestinian Jihadi killed RFK - but the leftists/globalists could never let that be the narrative, and sadly they have my fellow conservatives emitting this BS now. Fyi, Tucker Carlson proved NOTHING about JFK's death, nothing. He's becoming part of the problem in some ways, even as he does so much good. The message of the lesson is 'don't be so open minded that your effing brain falls out'...
Can't count the number of hours I've spent on 911 videos. I can say this, no one has ever shown me any direct credible evidence of DEWs or nukes. Those theories have tons of holes. I still don't buy controlled demolition, although I am open to discussing it, because the official explanation is highly flawed and incomplete. The incomplete investigation is what always triggers a ton of wild theories because something will always fill the void. So I'm open to "assisted" demolition, but have yet to see compelling evidence of it. I am certainly open to false flag, but again, I have not seen anywhere enough evidence to be certain.
As for JFK, the official scenario seems so highly flawed so again, it's hard to know what to believe. I haven't done enough first hand digging to form an opinion other than what we were told wasn't true.
RFK I never investigated.
Remember the firefighters who witnessed "rivers of molten steel"
Perhaps you are mistaken. There are many many credible scientists who have dissected the whole mess. See the work of the architect RICHARD GAGE. Colonel Robert Bowman himself became a 9-11 "truther" The truth about 911 is clear. Aluminum airplanes cannot "melt steel girders"....nor can they accomplish the total demolition of large buildings in mere seconds. You need to review this information.
Note that your commentary is careful and if you don't mind me saying, humble. You don't presume to know all the angles, on JFK, or RFK. I have zero issue with such an approach. I should also be clear that I realize I could be wrong, and am always open to new info. I'm drinking coffee post church on a lovely Easter Day and am in the mood to write. I'll do as pithy a summary of JFK as I can, and close with what's known and true about RFK's death, which was investigated deeply, multiple times.
I rely primarily on two sources for sorting out the wild, conflicting claims about JFK's death. Case Closed by Gerald Posner and Reclaiming History by Vincent Bugliosi. Posner's work was from the early '90s and Bugliosi's in 2008 or so.
Case Closed is perhaps the best work of investigative journalism I've ever read. Posner spares no expense and effort in this deeply researched effort, and his approach is brilliantly simple. He has no pre-ordained beliefs and chases each major theory down based on the evidence presented by its advocates. The top line is this: None of the theories has any merit or substantial evidence. At all. They are laughably stupid. I'll summarize.
1. Oswald couldn't have made the shot - Nope. Anyone who knows what actual 'errors' were made in the initial investigation knows that by the early '70s that the audio recording used to time Oswald's shots was examined using NEW state of the art audio signal analysis techniques. The recording had been obtained via a motorcycle cop's mic being left down during the event, captured on the dispatcher's recordings of all radio calls. It turns out one of the 'shots' was actually a car backfire. The audio signature is clear, and was reproduced and proven independently many times. Given the new timing, there is no problem with Oswald taking his shots that quickly.
Oswald scored very high when in the Marines on marksmanship, he was known to be a good shot as such things are in the Marines. The rifle used was actually an Italian military surplus sniper quality rifle, in a sniper's/hunter's caliber (6.5) with a serviceable if inexpensive optic on it. Numerous shooters have reenacted the shots taken with this rifle. Fyi, for those who listen to Roger Stone you'll note he still clings to ideas about the rifle and shots that were debunked 40+ years ago in some cases, it's just sad.
"The Magic Bullet" - Nope. All three shots behaved very much as any trauma surgeon or ballistic analyst would expect. Again, consider that Posner produces compelling, exhaustive expert analyses on this in the early '90s, and in some cases was just republishing analyses already completed. This is just a lie at this stage of the game. As well, the three shots all came from the Book Depository, the ballistics analysis all are consistent. There is no actual evidence of another shooter. At all. None. Zip. Nunca. Nada.
Oswald could not have acted alone - The best part of Posner's book is that it contains a 200 page biography of Oswald in it. He collected and published a ton of new, valid info on Oswald and his life. After reading this, one easily believes that Oswald shot JFK. The high points include a lifetime of violence, including many offenses as a teen that had him being thrown out of multiple schools for violence. His clear psychological problems are apparent from an early age and do not improve. He picked up his communism while in the military, which he joined to avoid going to jail. He had an increasingly horrible rep on the Marines as it was well known that he had flipped. One might not appreciate how that in the '50s that communism was still seen as a political viewpoint with some legitimacy, even as it was our enemy. There were more outspoken critics in our own govt and military than you might realize back then, and more communists. Surely he became a pariah as he did self-paced courses in Russian and also his anti-social behavior didn't work well in the Marines. He was not able to be an effective bully and this fueled a rage inside his psychotic mind.
He also used the same rifle to try to assassinate the Air Force General, retired, who headed the John Birch Society 6 mos earlier with the same rifle. There are pictures of him posing with the rifle in his backyard. He was known to go target shooting.
Bugliosi's work seems to be designed to complement Posner's. He dives as deeply into Jack Ruby's life as Posner did Oswald's. Ruby was a huge Kennedy fan and was literally pitched into some kind of nervous breakdown watching Jackie Kennedy's grabbing JFK's skull and then her later appearance with blood spatter. It's incredibly well sourced and there simply is no evidence of CIA or Mafia.
He does the same on the CIA claims (Posner does as well but not as deeply). What I discovered is that there are only two bits of 'evidence' for this theory. One is that Oswald was at a base in Japan as a radio operator that also hosted a CIA operation focused on Russia. The source is a guy who served 2 years previous, never met or saw Oswald, nor had any direct or indirect knowledge of his doing so. Merely the fact that he was stationed there. The rest was speculation. There was also a guy who mentioned he heard of a record of a payment to Oswald but could not produce the source, nor evidence of the payment. That's it. Nothing else.
The latest book on the CIA angle is basically a JFK worship session based on mythology about JFK that has often been debunked by declassified docs. The Warren Report has released almost everything it had. And even then, you are asking any sentient American to believe Earl freaking Warren was a stooge for the CIA - do ya know who he was? Turns out many govt reports like this don't release everything to spare people embarrassment. What's very likely is that the Warren Commission didn't want to release the trove of information on JFK's dalliances with many women, including prostitutes and one Soviet intel agent, lol.
Bugliosi goes on to deal with Jack Ruby conclusively. By the time he shoots Oswald, the arc that got him there is totally believable.
There are so many other threads that it's impossible to address more than a handful here. Oliver Stone's entire nonsense-narrative can be dismissed by the fact that Jim Garrison's case was laughed out of court in New Orleans in a couple of hours, and that's essentially the story Stone told. Garrison was a laughing stock to the public after and lost his job as a prosecutor due to how nonsensical the case was.
Most of the rest of the CIA theorizing spends hundreds of pages on the tension between DoD and CIA and JFK. And it's true they were at loggerheads over many things, including JFK opening up a direct channel with Kruschev that allowed him to undermine JFK's own NatSec team. JFK famously missed Castro's overt communism since participating in a hit squad in Colombia in the late '40s, and being an overt agent of the Third International that the USSR Communist Party ran out of Havana to destabilize Central America. JFK ignored the mountains of evidence, and instead bought Castro's and Kruschev's lies - our NatSec folks were outraged with JFK for legit reasons. But to move from that to killing him? Are you crazy? With NO evidence?
I'll stop now. It was fun. Probably shouldn't be here, I hope folks don't mind. I'm hoping some curious people might be interested in a coherent narrative that analyzes these claims.
RFK autopsy showed he was shot through rear right ear . Your 'Palestinian Jihadi' was 5 feet in front of him at time of his shooting. Don't know many people with 5 foot arms to curle round and shoot a person in the ear. Then as you say your the expert on this and the 'magic bullet' in the JFK killing we should all defer to your intelligence
Everyone is just doing what you are! Talking! Yes some are not using using facts. However, people are entitled to their opinions still, wait we are still right?
Well said, sir. The immediate response by far too many is to elevate to the ceiling with their hair on fire. I agree with nearly all of what you said above RE: The particulars of a ship with loss of power; It appeared to me the stern moved to starboard at first, perhaps in response to a current or windage, both of which may affect a vessel of any size when power is lost, causing the danger of a broadside hit to the bridge. Tight quarters maneuvering is a dicey business at best with a 1,000 feet of hull, and the air height of a loaded container vessel. i question only the absence of escort Tugs which to me seemed foolish from the first. I read the DOT severely reduced funding for Harbor Tug operations in multiple ports. Obviously, in retrospect, a foolish mistake, especially given the obvious squandering of huge amounts of cash on government nonsense. I am not an authority, but 15 years of Volunteer duty in the USCG in public education and port security, and USCG Operations taught me a few things; Also, this mess needs to be cleared immediately. The money will have to be sorted out later.
Very well put! I have more experience with planes and their flukes, and even modern airliners, especially the jumbos, do not respond instantly, at their best! In a crisis, where hydraulics are, or have failed, even less so. Winds would apply as you point out, anyone who has driven an high profile vehicle knows that, if they have done so, out in the wide open spaces. I agree; let the authorities investigate and test, before assuming it was an attack of some sort. Main and back-up system failures simultaneously are not unheard of, although rare.
Well said! I didn't even go into the backup system failure possibilities in this post but you are def correct.
A tug can move a ship off the dock, it can hardly affect a ship that big at 8 knots.
https://youtu.be/IsdZVp0opsQ?si=HGLEFQ0qk2CjJb5u
My single question here is: Where were the tugs?
Depending on the dock situation and ship, it may have left the dock under its own power although tugs would almost certainly be present. Tugs in a channel or on the open water are almost always towing barges. But as soon as the ship is moving under its own power in a channel tugs would not normally be assisting. As noted by Sandra, a pilot is onboard the vessel to provide navigational input to the ships master/captain, but all decisions are ultimately the captains. My understanding at this point is that the pilot was issuing commands directly to the helm and engineering and they were obeyed, and were correct given the circumstances.
Assisting no, but I would expect they would be on station until the bridge is cleared.
Nope, cargo ships regularly transit such bridges without difficulty.
They were departing the harbor, there wouldn't be tugs at that point, just the harbor pilot on board still.
Rudder power failover - It's clear the failover power on the Dali was its generators (two of them), and that's how the massive rudders that are subject to large forces are powered. You'll note that after the initial power outage, there is a resumption of power. I noted that there was no steaming light, indicating that this was backup, generator power. We then see a big smoke plume as the generator power is being used to restart the number 1 engine and more smoke as the engine is pushed to max power an thrown into reverse to try and slow the ship down. At this point, they have power for the rudder as well again.
Explain to me about how having run on diesel the ship has no steering? Which it should?
Tanks for your info , as a longtime retired trade CEng on VLCC's myself In many of these sensation stories I am pulling my hairs about all the nonsense published.
Yes.
Sorry too long to read
But not too long to offer a snarky comment on? Let's be honest. You are certain that Lizard People took a break from their GloboHomo Pedo Rings to plant an MK Ultra agent aboard the Dali, yes? Am I close?
I sail but don't steer ships. My initial thoughts are:
1. It is highly unlikely a huge ship going one direction at 8 knots, could lose power AND then change course AND still hit a pylon basically head-on ALL by accident. Statistics would indicate more space then pylon under bridge and non-head-on collision more likely if any accident were to occur.
2. Occams Razor: In order to hit that pylon nearly head-on someone had to want that outcome. The dramatic turn out of channel followed by straight run into pylon can be explained by chance? Or by random miscalculated actions on board?
3. Huge media parroting op long before any investigation: "This wasn't terrorism, stop being a conspiracy theorist! Hmmmmmm. So asking questions & speculating s conspiracy now?
That was rhe most damning part, the media all spewing the same govt line within hours. When they do that, what they're saying is usually the opposite of the truth. Now, conveniently missing data on the black box, and watching the video footage of the sharp turn towards the pilon just all looks way too "coincidental". If a skeptic expert were allowed to conduct an independent investigation, as well as searching all containers on the ship (especially the evergreen containers), id be more likely to believe rhe outcome. Govt just has zero credibility, and are itching to get their next emergency underway to tighten their grip through emergency "measures". Breaking down supply chains is not going to help w civil unrest.
It’s often the cover up, that is the “Tell”. It’s the same immediate “nothing to see here” explanation, followed by obfuscation and misdirection. This smells like Lahaina, East Palestine and West Texas Fires.
Who can say with a straight face that the "West Texas Fires" were not started by some offshoot of the Baptist Church?
Thank you Mr. Leake.
What do the Francis Scott Key Bridge and WTC Bldg 7 have in common?
1) Both collapsed into their own footprint in less than 7 seconds.
2) Neither is explicable by other than deliberate structural integrity compromise;
a. "normal office fires" CAN NOT induce simultaneous global structural failure in a steel frame building such as 7 was
b. the ship DID NOT "drift" into that pylon
3) In just hours, the FBI KNEW , in 7 who did it, and in FSK bridge it wasn't Terrorism.
4) Critical evidence is compromised or removed.
5) Massive insurance industry involvement is integral to both.
6) US taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill.
Other commonalities will come to light. I'm gonna go with Lara Logan's initial take; we're seeing the result of a cyber attack by parties as yet unknown. Like 9/11, this was deliberate.
9/11 terrorized the US populace into supporting a war of terror that was exported to the world.
That war has now come home to roost.
Thank you, Dennis Mcgee--Very concise...this makes a cogent argument here--The truly frustrating (and absurd) situation is that "intelligent" people still think Arabs hijacking passenger planes took down the WTC and building 7. Even more disturbing on that day was the giant hole in the pentagon happening at around the same time....and then apparently the pentagon moved its offices immediately -- all as smooth as you please. Yes--the monsters have the peeps hypnotized as they slowly suck the life out of the free world. I dread the world my grandchildren must live in. How to stop this?
Thank you Kathleen. I wish I knew an answer to your question. Sadly, I don't think it can be stopped. This is one of those progressions of Universe that will have it's way with us all. Best we can hope for I think is mitigation, mediation on personal levels. I just hope our grandchildren survive and have a World to live on that will support carbon based life forms. There hasn't been a time before now when human intervention (geoengineering) has threatened to destroy the biosphere's ability to support life as we know it. I am throwing my energies into food, ammo and legislative interventions from the State level against a rogue Federal Govt that is hell bent on our destruction. In TN we're pushing for a Nullification framework and a law that prohibits "intentional release" of garbage into our atmosphere designed to reflect sunlight. I can only guess how effective these efforts will prove to be, but to not try is to choose to die stupidly. We can't just give up.
I agree. I also don't find it in my heart just sit back and watch it. I am too old to consider arming myself or homesteading...though I did have a large garden at one time. When I see the entire sky covered in expanding white gunk I am furious. I am caring for my 77 vaccine injured husband who has a lot of mobility issues right now.
But I give away books, send links and hand out flyers when appropriate. Didja see Ed Dowd's CAUSE UNKNOWN.... this book is devastating to the "narrative"...page after page of beautiful (and young!) people who just dropped dead and "no one knows why"
It's even happening to celebrities....see Mark Crispin Miller substack DIED SUDDENLY
This crime can't be covered up. But what can be done?
At 71, the wife and I are just whippersnappers who are going to have to "ride it out" in place. She has serious mobility issues too, and I'm not a lot better. I've pretty much given up on starting our 2nd Amendment response myself though I think that's the most likely progression from here. I take quite a bit of flack for pushing for legislative responses, but what the hell? I'm hoping something along those lines can have positive impact. I continue to believe we (USA) have the best governing system yet devised while acknowledging it has been bastardized ruthlessly for decades by Globalists disguised as domestic "public servants". Can't help any of that. I also continue to believe the significant majority of humans are decent people who just want to live free and will follow a leader who supports our mutual benefit.
I want to believe TN will pass Nullification legislation that will enable us to defy the entire "body of law" that indemnifies Pharma so we can seek legal remedies and start the ball rolling to Official Disclosure and a long overdue Reckoning in the "public-private" boondoggle that has resulted in the covid apocalypse and the near infinite list of all else that besets us.
I will try to maintain my hope. Time will tell.
We must keep hope alive. I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that so many people conceded to the "mandates"....and took these injections. The PREP act must go. This is what has enabled the PHARMA BIOWEAPON ASSAULT. Thanks for the information about the TN initiative.
Perhaps many more will follow. Rand Paul has been the only good politician I have seen and he is from Kentucky....
Agree with you 100%. All shipping is also currently on hold due to this and whoever is responsible knows all this!! Holds up a lot of what comes and goes through that harbor!!
Yep. This is so much bigger than 9/11. The war is here now. We have no way of knowing the long term implications of the I-95 breach catastrophe. The "simple" immediate and long term supply chain disruption is the very least of it.
Yes and that will made made known at some point, ppl still won’t get it
Where are the charges of the captain? Two days after the grounding of the Exxon Valdez, the National Transportation Safety Board reported that the captain of the Exxon Valdez was legally drunk when he was tested some 10 hours after the incident.
On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Tuscany after hitting a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Francesco Schettino, the captain of the cruise liner, was jailed for 16 years for multiple manslaughter after the disaster that left 32 people dead
This is a bigger disaster to our economy, to the families who lost family members, to the water and sea life in the harbor. And more. Yet nothing. Will there be any charges or will it be like the WEF monsters who still run free?
There's no evidence of any wrongdoing at this point on the part of the pilot. He just happened to be working when the incident occurred. I'm glad he lawyered up asap, he knows he's gonna be made the scapegoat and it had nothing to do w him I would bet.
The captain was not in control. The 2 MPA pilots were...
So many “experts” will always comment whenever there is a disaster. I don’t know the first thing about shipping so won’t comment about the mechanics/physics of the Dali disaster. However, since COVID, I’m hesitant to believe what the government tells me. Trust but verify…
I trust that they're lying when they speak and usually waiting a few weeks to see how it pans out verifies that was the case. Difference between a conspiracy and the truth is less than a few months these days.
this was another inside job to destroy infrastructure to speed up the great reset while blaming other countries or terrorists
you are so right, Yela ...all signs point to this being more work of the murderous globalist cabal who think it is their right and prevlige to own the entire world and direct the currents of history. But as Reiner Fuellmich has stated many times, the forces of light will emerge victorious. Soon , praise God....let it be soon. I want to live to see my grandchildren grow up in a free country.
The insurance company of the vessel would conduct its own investigation - unless of course someone else decided they would assume all costs. Which would be a great way to block a 3rd party investigation and control the outcome. However, those injured or the family of those whose lives were lost - also have a claim against the insurer of the vessel. My take on that announcement was that the US government would immediately release funding for removal and rebuilding and not that the owner/operator and insurer would not be held liable. Would be interesting to see how this was handled in other infrastructure collision cases.
It is being handled just like 9/11 was.
Check past NTSB reports against GAO records.
If you to make a boat/ship turn on a dime, drop a bow anchor and turn the rudder. Otherwise it will maintain its course. This is basic seamanship. This was not an accident. And Biden's quick response was based on a lengthy consideration of all implications, not possible in just a few hours.
Um, the harbor pilot did those things...
He did do those things, and yet the boat still turned towards the pilon
The one mistake he made is the same one the officer on the bridge of Titanic made too: trying to back up "on a dime". Large ships take time he did not have to go from forward drive to reverse, and the cavitation of the screws trying to get into reverse pushed the starbord stem into the bridge pilons despite the already dropped port anchor and efforts to steer port! He was just too close, and inertia was in effect as well as wind and currents. Ever drive an high profile vehicle on an open road? That was an high profile vehicle broadside to the winds.
Here's a plausible explanation...
Don't you find it an interesting "coincidence" Trump gives a speech in which he threatens China with one hundred percent tariff on cars built by China coming over the southern boarder and the next thing you know a major port and trade corridor is disrupted?
Don't you find it interesting that the right rudder
Input stopped and the ship straightened out once the bow was on a collision course with the bridge pillar?
If the rudder had been stuck the ship would have continued it's right hand turn, no? and would've missed the pillar or struck it a glancing blow. Don't you find that curious?
If someone was trying to shut down a very busy port and shipping corridor to send a message but didn't want to incur the wrath of a nations people by killing large numbers of them, wouldn't they do it in the wee hours of the morning when traffic was lightest?
Now there's a conspiracy theory I can sink my teeth into😉
Don’t you find it an interesting coincidence that the Dali attack (yes, attack) came just days after the ISIS (cough, Ukrainian/US, cough) attack? Don’t you find it an interesting coincidence that Zelensky just threatened Congress, stating that if he didn’t get millions more in aide, he would start attacking Russian infrastructure? Interesting because every time Russian infrastructure is attacked, there is an infrastructure “incident” in the US (oil refineries, food factories, etc.) just days after the Russian attacks.🤔🤔🤔. Maybe China. Maybe Russia. Maybe both working in tandem. But make no mistake. We are being attacked.
China owns the US lock stock and barrel. They took the keys to the castle following the Jan 6 American Reichstag. This was clearly evident when they through their treasonous cohorts in Congress deployed a security fence and the military around the capital for the installation of the puppet government with Obama finishing what he started but blaming it on the incompetent, corrupt, child molesting, baby sniffing, pedophile and chief. They have been directing US foreign policy ever since. I would go with China.
Who benefits from a US war with Russia?
WWIII has started. It just hasn't gone open an unrestricted yet. The US will likely be in a full on quazi civil war by November or shortly there after. They (CIA) may let Trump win and if so Antifa and BLM will be used as street generals commanding the 20 million illegals who've been openly threatened with deportation by Trump I'd he wins. They aren't gonna go quietly. The US military will need to be called out to put down a real I insurrection and the mocking bird media will accuse Trump of being a dictator (see we told you this was going to happen) because they set the table. This will further whip libtards into a murderous frenzy. And all hell will break lose.
I hope and pray I'm wrong.
And the Master of the Dali was Urakrianian
This detailed attempt at exegesis by true crime author Mr. Leake is getting a little too close to the encyclopedic range of conspiracies supposedly involving Lizard People now sitting in their underground command post east of Omaha, those semi-reptiles who so often work in concert with fly fisherman Dick Cheney, the ghost of clergyman Liberace, and the ghost of musician Elvis.
I needed a new conspiracy, all my all ones came true😉
I hate to be a bubble-buster, but it’s no longer a conspiracy theory…https://www.newsweek.com/us-nato-defense-facilities-ukraine-russia-sabotage-1892099.
Oh well... Off to find my next conspiracy😉

Saw this today and thought of you: https://www.newsweek.com/us-nato-defense-facilities-ukraine-russia-sabotage-1892099. Dontcha just hate it when conspiracy theories become just theories? Keep an eye out for those Sleastacks.
https://www.ft.com/content/c88509f9-c9bd-46f4-8a5c-9b2bdd3c3dd3
Don’t mess with the Sleastacks 🤣. Marshall, Will, and Holly learned the hard way…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKejwlhqOt0
Attacked from within i would suspect, Russia and China r convenient scapegoats. The deep state has been trying to provoke Russia into a larger scale war since the beginning of the Ukraine bs. More truth is coming out re Ukraine and biolabs, Cia bases and money laundering/human trafficking thru Ukraine. Who knows tho
A starbord turn would've turned it INTO the bridge, not away from. The harbor pilot dropped the port side anchor and used what steering was available to turn toward the port, away from the bridge.
The technical information in this post is very dense. What I gather is that the bridge collapse must have been a deliberate event for political gain. Sorry to be so obtuse, Mr. Leake...but does this mean you think CCP is behind this? Or who benefits from this disaster?
I am consistently very impressed with your ability to get to the bottom of crimes others have left unsolved....starting with the COLD A LONG TIME...thank you so much for your work.

Those youtube links are to Sal Mercogliano's "What's Going on with Shipping" channel, which I agree is a reliable source. He includes links to videos by others going into detail on various aspects. He also notes that the emergency generator _should_ have started within 45 seconds, but actually took 58 seconds to start.
👍
Best analysis of what we know starting with early reports.
Biden spit in the face of God by proclaiming this holy day of Easter as “Transgender Visibility Day.” God have mercy on us. I thought Biden already proclaimed a day in June, during “Pride Month” to be “Transgender Visibility Day.”
I, like Abraham, have been bargaining with God. God, if there are only 50 righteous people in our country, will you save us? What if there are only 20 righteous people, or only 10 righteous people, will you save us?
The 6th day of the month of April is this Saturday. Will you join me in fasting and prayer for the salvation of our country and justice and reparations for the J6 political prisoners? I will continue this on the 6th day of every month.
Biden is purposefully trying to provoke the "Christian right"...meaning those of us who have some moral compass and love our beautiful country, our families and our deeply held belief in the "rule of law" as put forth in our legal documents such as The Constitution. The bible is a fundamental cornerstone of our civilization. But that is off the topic...
Anyway I believe all this "transgender" nonsense is thrown in to confuse the peeps and condone the attachment of labels such as "hater" or "conspiracy theorist" on normal people. I have known gay people for many years that I like and respect. Most live quiet monogamous lives with their partners very like the rest of us. They comprise a very small minority--some very brilliant scientists, musicians and artists have been homosexuals. Why does anyone care what they do with their dicks.....as long as no one is harmed. i.e. NO PEDOPHILES of any type of sexual proclivity. It is clear the globalists are pedophiles.
This issue --transgender etc--which is pertaining to about 4% of the population is moot to the terrible things happening right now--All our children are now endangered ...no matter their "sexual orientation" their "gender" or whether they want to wear a dress. Biden didn't just spit in God's face...he spit in all our faces who value their freedom, their independence and their lives.
I understand that the Dali had several power glitches before starting the voyage, and may have been related to too much refrigeration power requirements. They tried load balancing the refrigerators to keep each source under its limit but total power was still too high. If so, it never should have left port.
What's the refrigeration for? Serious question. I thought this corridor was mainly for hazmat and fuels. And, apparently some sketchy shipments from the cdc
That sounds plausible! I did read that the port made them do maintenance before they left and then gave the green light. They had 2 MPA pilots on board at the time of the crash so this may have been a factor that was going on at the time!
