ARCHIVING - THOUGHTS ON THE ASSASSINATION OF THE C.E.O BRIAN THOMPSON ON THE 4TH NOV 2024 !!

Note: below is just a screen cap with 8kun links.

What this reminds anon of is a direct threat to those involved to those who work for big pharma. very similar to when a Judge had a assassin turn up at her home, shoot her husband and son as a warning to other judges to do as they are told and keep quiet when trump left in 2020 with the stolen election.

Further to the research and collected reporting, anons digs and opines by anons everyone agrees that it was a assassination with motive. The motive seems pretty obvious, the people who paid for the hitjob can be narrowed down by who benefits aka Cui bono. There is a new incoming elected admin with some real disruptors like rfk jr and many others who will take down the big pharma mafia.

If it is the clowns or I.C agencies aka the feds than it would be easy to track any tech this ceo had to geo - locate his movements and anything he had using tech. nothing is private in the new age.

Judge Son Killed in USA

In July 2020, a devastating attack occurred at the home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in North Brunswick, New Jersey. The judge’s husband, Mark Anderl, a defense attorney, was critically injured, and their 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, was fatally shot.

Suspect and Motive

The gunman, identified as Roy Den Hollander, a white man who wore a face covering and a FedEx uniform, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound near the Catskills, upstate New York. Hollander was a lawyer and activist in the men’s rights movement, known for his anti-feminist views.

Background and Investigation

The FBI investigated the attack, which was deemed a targeted assassination attempt. Judge Salas was not injured in the attack, but her husband and son were severely affected. The FBI identified Hollander as the suspect and linked him to anti-feminist posts and a grudge against Judge Salas.

Aftermath and Daniel’s Law

In response to the tragedy, “Daniel’s Law” was passed in New Jersey to protect judges’ personal information and prevent similar attacks. Judge Salas has spoken publicly about the incident, expressing her gratitude for the outpouring of support and emphasizing the importance of protecting judges and their families.

Key Facts

French government collapsed after no-confidence vote. What happens now?

President Emmanuel Macron must seek a new prime minister after Michel Barnier’s administration became the shortest-serving in the modern French republic.

Updated

December 4, 2024 at 4:34 p

By Ellen Francis and Anthony Faiola

A no-confidence vote in the French Parliament on Wednesday triggered the collapse of the government, plunging the country into political chaos and stoking anxiety about the euro zone’s second-biggest economy.

Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s administration becomes the shortest-serving government in the modern French republic and the first in six decades to be toppled by a no-confidence vote. Although the motion was put forward by a left-wing alliance, the swing votes of Marine Le Pen and her far-right lawmakers, wielding unprecedented influence, were key to its passage. The measured was adopted with 331 votes, more than the required majority.

The trouble is, there’s no obvious cast of characters who could form a stable government. New legislative elections that might alter the political dynamics can’t happen before summer. And without a government in place, France couldn’t address the gaping hole in its public finances or resolve uncertainty that has the potential to spook markets and weigh on other euro-zone economies.

“We have reached a moment of truth and responsibility,” Barnier said during Wednesday’s parliamentary debate ahead of the vote. “This reality will not disappear by the magic of censure motions.”

The turmoil in France — just weeks after the collapse of the German government — threatens to leave two of Europe’s most powerful nations rudderless, as European officials warn they must prepare for a blow if President-elect Donald Trump unleashes a trade war or slashes aid for Ukraine.

How France got here

The crisis came to a head this week over the government’s budget-cutting plans. But it goes back to French President Emmanuel Macron’s gamble on early legislative elections, which kept the far-right National Rally party out of government but gave Le Pen, its leader, a kingmaker role in a bitterly fragmented political landscape.

In France, the president’s pick of prime minister must win lawmakers’ approval. From the outset, Le Pen said her party would oppose any candidate from the left-wing alliance that had garnered the most seats in the July election, though short of a governing majority.

Barnier — a traditional conservative and the European Union’s former Brexit negotiator — was selected as a veteran politician who could navigate the minefield and secure Le Pen’s tacit support. But his government has been under a near-constant threat of collapse since taking office in September, with its fate in the hands of Le Pen.

She managed to secure significant concessions in budget talks. Barnier, though, was intent on hefty spending cuts to regain control of France’s spiraling deficit and debt burden. On Monday, after he bypassed the lower house of Parliament to force through a budget bill, both Le Pen’s party and the left-wing alliance called for a no-confidence vote.

During Wednesday’s debate, Socialist lawmaker Boris Vallaud accused Barnier of having “locked himself into a humiliating tête-à-tête” with the far right.

Le Pen’s calculus

The budget fight has allowed Le Pen to flex her political muscles and publicly stand up for populism. In a fiery address during Wednesday’s debate, she said her decision to back a no-confidence vote was about stopping a budget that “takes the French hostage, and particularly the most vulnerable — low-income pensioners, sick people, poor workers, the French considered too rich to be helped but not poor enough to escape the tax bludgeoning.”

But the timing of her move has raised questions.

The leader of the Euroskeptic, anti-immigrant National Rally is known to have the French presidency in her sights. The country’s next presidential vote isn’t due until 2027, and Macron said as recently as Tuesday that he would serve out his elected second term “with all my energy until the last second to be useful to the country.” But some analysts say Le Pen may hope a crisis would corner him into resigning early.

Le Pen is also facing the complication of a trial accusing her, and members of her party, of embezzling millions of euros of European Parliament funds. Prosecutors have sought a five-year ban on public office that would prevent her from running for president in 2027. A verdict is expected in late March.

Under Le Pen’s leadership, National Rally has sought to distance itself from its origins on the neofascist fringes and show voters that it is a broadly appealing party that could govern responsibly. But many French politicians are convinced that the trial “has derailed her strategy to make herself and her party appear constructive and capable of making the compromises needed in government,” said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe at the Eurasia Group consultancy.

What happens next

The government collapse could push the country deeper into uncharted territory.

Macron could ask Barnier’s government to stay on in a caretaker role, while the president tries to find another prime minister who wouldn’t immediately be censured by a majority of lawmakers. That’s no easy task.

Meanwhile, the country faces an end-of-the-month deadline to sort out its budget and avert a government shutdown.

Under French law, a government can seek legislative approval to roll a previous year’s budget into a new year, temporarily keeping public workers paid and operations running until a new budget can be adopted. But there are debatable legal questions about what powers can be used by an overthrown government in an interim role. A move by the caretaker government to push a budget through, or a move by Macron to invoke the president’s exceptional powers to impose a budget, would trigger a political and constitutional mess.

What could the economic fallout be?

The political crisis in France is stirring fears of a financial one, as investors fret over the fate of a series of curative measures meant to address the country’s woefully high budget deficit — which, at above 6 percent of gross domestic product, is far above the E.U.’s 3 percent guideline.

France saw a buildup in its debt and deficit after spending generously to protect incomes during the covid era and to shield people from the rise in energy prices that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now, a budgetary morass would take a growing toll on France at a time when Europe is facing other economic headwinds, including a weak German economy next door.

In a symbolic moment on Monday, French bond yields — the interest paid on debt — even surpassed those of the euro zone’s former problem child, Greece, the same country that sparked a regionwide debt crisis in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis.

French government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon, in an interview with Le Parisien, described the risk of “a Greek-style scenario.” Such talk, for now, appears to have been largely a negotiating tactic. France’s debt is over 110 percent of GDP — the third-highest ratio in Europe. But the French situation differs starkly from Greece’s at the time of its debt crisis, which saw a debt-to-GDP ratio above 200 percent at its peak.

Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, called a financially catastrophic French default a “remote” prospect and said there is low risk of France’s woes spreading to other European countries anytime soon. But should the country’s political crisis and budget impasse continue, it could drive up the cost of the country’s debt and have a dampening effect beyond France’s borders, while ratcheting up a tense debate in Brussels over fiscal responsibility.

In the meantime, France is constrained on long-term solutions. Its already high tax rate gives it limited room to raise revenue and address its budget woes, while deep cuts in public benefits could trigger social unrest and boost populists on the far right and far left.

“There are couple of switch points in which things could blow up in the next two to six months, but probably they get through it,” Posen said. “The issue is more in the two- to three-year horizon.”

Horrible Leftist Hack Messes Around and Finds Out: Kash Patel Slaps Turncoat Mike Pence Advisor, Olivia Troye, with Legal Notice for Defamation

In yet another example of the left’s desperate attempts to smear President-elect Donald Trump’s allies, Olivia Troye, a former advisor to turncoat Mike Pence, is facing the heat after making outrageous defamatory statements about Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel.

But Olivia Troye, who has gained notoriety for her venomous tirades against her former colleagues, appeared on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show to launch a tirade against Patel.

Olivia Troye:

I worked with Kash in the White House. I was Vice President Mike Pence’s counterterrorism advisor, so I had to coordinate with Kash a lot. Kash Patel is a delusional liar. Let me just be very clear about that. He would lie about intelligence. He would lie about making things up on operations. I think Mark Esper has talked about that as well, where he put the lives of Navy SEALs at risk in an operation when it came to Nigeria.

These are things that actually were happening in real-time when he was in the role of CT Coordinator in the White House. I know this because, at some point, I realized that I needed to double-check Kash’s work to make sure that I wasn’t misinforming Mike Pence by relying on his word, so I had to go around him.

This is a guy who openly has contempt for people in national security, especially for people at DOJ and the FBI. He made open comments like this. I think there is a little bit of fear here from people where they know that someone like Kash Patel is fully capable of just doing partisan investigations, whatever it takes.

It will be insane if he becomes the director of the FBI. I fear for the law enforcement personnel there who are going to have to navigate this. Quite honestly, when I look at Kash Patel in combination with what Pam Bondi is going to do if she gets in as AG—is that top cover for him? These are all the things that concern me when I see all of these names being proposed for different positions. This is a very real risk and to the detriment of Americans.

In response, Patel’s legal team wasted no time, delivering a hard-hitting letter demanding Troye retract her defamatory statements within five business days. The letter exposed Troye’s allegations as “complete fabrications” and accused her of knowingly spreading lies to malign Patel’s reputation for personal gain.

The letter also placed Troye on notice to preserve all documents, communications, and evidence related to her false claims.

The letter reads:

This law firm represents Kashyap Patel. Litigation will be filed against you if you fail to publicly retract defamatory statements you made about Mr. Patel on MSNBC on December 2, 2024. Be further advised that you should identity and preserve all hard copy and electronically stored documents, information, and data that relate, in any way, to Mr. Patel and to your statements about him on MSNBC.

On December 2, 2024, you appeared as a live guest on MSNBC and made several false and defamatory statements about Mr. Patel. These comments include that Mr. Patel would “lie about intelligence” and would “lie about making things up on operations” to the point where Mr. Patel “put the lives of Navy Seals at risk when it came to Nigeria” and that Mr. Patel was even misinforming Vice President, Mike Pence.

This is a complete fabrication, and you know it is false by virtue of your former position in the White House. At no point did Jir. Patel ever lie about national intelligence, place Navy Seals at risk, or misinform the Vice President. Not only did you have actual knowledge of the falsity of this smear, but you also did so with the malicious intent of degrading his character and of cynical self-promotion.

This is, of course, not the first time you have milked your former title as a means of spreading lies about associates of President Donald J. Trump. You are already embroiled in a lawsuit for your disgusting lies about Ambassador Ric Grenell on Twitter.

By John Solomon and Steven Richards

Published: December 4, 2024 11:04pm

House Democrats pressured U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance and even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer and charitable assistance not provided to other officers, according to internal emails reviewed by Just the News.

"He is very upset about how he is being treated. He wants us to figure this out and now," a top congressional aide to then-House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, wrote to Capitol Police in November 2021 pressing for more assistance to Lt. Michael Byrd after he killed Babbitt.

The records show that pressure also came from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's staff and from then-Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, causing Capitol Police to find any solution they could to make Byrd and Democrats happy. Despite the extraordinary assistance, Byrd expressed dissatisfaction and continued to insist he deserved more, to the chagrin of Capitol Police officials, according to records assembled by Congress.

"We play the game as you request and then once we’re in compliance You guys change the rules on us,” Byrd wrote to U.S. Capitol Police General Counsel Thomas DiBiase in November 2021 after being informed he wouldn't be able to immediately access charitable funds from a memorial fund for fallen or wounded officers.

The department's chief later told Byrd he would not be offered any further assistance from the memorial fund, but Capitol Police instead helped set up a GoFundMe that landed Byrd more than $160,000 in extra funds. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D- Calif., was one of the many progressives who donated to and promoted the fundraising.

Scientists may have accidentally overcome a major barrier to smoothening the adoption of next-generation data-storage technologies.

Using a unique material called indium selenide (In2Se3), researchers say they discovered a technique for lowering the energy requirements of phase-change memory (PCM) — a technology capable of storing data without a constant power supply — by up to 1 billion times.

The breakthrough is a step toward overcoming one of the biggest challenges in PCM data storage, potentially paving the way for low-power memory devices and electronics, the researchers said in a study published Nov. 6 in the journal Nature.

Days after President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for a 10-year period dating back to his involvement with Burisma, senior White House aides are reportedly locked in a contentious debate over a potential unprecedented move: issuing preemptive pardons to a wide range of current and former public officials who could find themselves under intense scrutiny, and prosecution, after Donald Trump takes office, Politico reports.

Among those discussed for potential pardons are high-profile figures like Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA), former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Pete Hegseth Says Trump Told Him ‘Keep Fighting’ Amid Allegations

https://conservativebrief.com/pete-told-87706/

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Defense Department intimated during a hallway interview at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday that he’s not going to drop out of consideration despite mounting allegations of sexual and personal misconduct.

Former Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth, an Army officer with documented combat experience, said that he spoke with Trump earlier in the day and that the president-elect encouraged him to “keep fighting.”

“I spoke to the President-elect this morning. He said keep going, keep fighting… Why would I back down? I’ve always been a fighter,” he told a reporter.

Asked directly if he was thinking of withdrawing his name amid the allegations, Hegseth said he was on Capitol Hill to meet with senators and that would continue.

Trump announced Hegseth as his SECDEF nominee about a week after he soundly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down,” Trump said in the statement.

“Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University. He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans. Pete’s recent book, “The War on Warriors,” spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE,” he added.

Trump concluded, “The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence. Pete has also led two Veterans Advocacy organizations, leading the fight for our Warriors, and our great Veterans. Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through Strength’ policy.”

Since then, Hegseth has been inundated with allegations of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking while serving as head of a veterans’ advocacy organization.

“Hegseth…drank in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News, according to 10 current and former Fox employees who spoke with NBC News,” the outlet reported.

“Two of those people said that on more than a dozen occasions during Hegseth’s time as a co-host of ‘Fox & Friends Weekend,’ which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air. Those same two people, plus another, said that during his time there he appeared on television after they’d heard him talk about being hungover as he was getting ready or on set,” the outlet added.

But other former and current Fox News personalities and colleagues vehemently refute the allegations.

Arla’s Bovaer food additive is not food, it is a drug

By Rhoda Wilson on December 4, 2024

Last week, we published an article about the project Arla has launched to feed cattle with Bovaer which contains silicon dioxide, propylene glycol and 3-nitrooxypropanol (“3-NOP”). According to the FDA, Bovaer is not a food, it is a drug.

There has been an enormous public backlash with the public boycotting Arla products and Arla’s partners.

There seems to be a lot that is unknown about this new drug being fed to dairy cattle. Considering it is what can only be described as an experiment on both animals and humans, it’s not surprising farmers and the public are outraged.

Russia's New Oreshnik Missile Is Far More Advanced & Powerful Than Previously Reported

The Russian response to the US launching ATACMS missiles at targets inside Russia was to turn a very large Ukrainian munitions factory into dust using a new weapon which Russian President Vladimir Putin claims is currently in production.

The Russian weapon is by reports non-nuclear, but hardly conventional. Per Ted Postol, the missiles fired into Ukraine reportedly traveled at speeds up to Mach 10. They appeared to super-heat [up to 4,000°F] from a long glide at low altitude that occurred after the missiles re-entered the atmosphere. They combined EXTREME HEAT with kinetic energy as they hit their target to create nuclear scale destruction WITHOUT nuclear technology.

Gilbert Doctorow offers that the new Russian weapon is a smaller version of an existing liquid-fuel propelled ICBM that was first revealed by the Russians in 2018. The non-nuclear ICBM can hit any city in the world, travels so fast that it can’t be stopped, and one missile [with a powerful conventional warhead] can destroy a land mass the size of Britain.

The version fired into Ukraine has a solid-fuel rocket, making it more stable than the liquid-fuel version, per Doctorow.

As if to demonstrate the intellectual decline of the US, The New York Times reports that the new Russian weapon can be fitted with nuclear warheads. Why this is stupid almost beyond comprehension is that the weapon produces nuclear-scale destruction without being nuclear. Putting nuclear warheads on it would make it a less effective weapon, not more.

Why this confusion is problematic is that the Times is a mouthpiece for the CIA and Pentagon. If these sources really have this little understanding of the Russian weapon, it indicates an incapacity by the US to comprehend what it is that the Russians have created.

Because of the weapon’s hypersonic speed, it is impossible to stop using currently existing technologies. Given this, as well as the weapon’s destructive capacity, the Russians can destroy any city within range of the weapon with no way for the intended target or its allies to stop it once the weapon has been launched.

If one of these ICBMs were to hit, say Philadelphia, it would take out New York and Washington as well, the ‘Eastern corridor’ of the US. The US as a nation would cease to exist were this to occur.

China now controls unprecedented 65% of global shipbuilding orderbook

Sam Chambers December 5, 2024

China’s combined orderbook for merchant ships has grown by a remarkable 170% this decade, stretching its lead over its nearest shipbuilding rivals dramatically.

Data from Greek broker Intermodal and Clarksons Research show how the 2020s – and 2024 in particular – have been banner years for Chinese shipyard ambitions, coming to dominate a sector like no other nation has been able to for generations.

“Through government support and public investments to its national shipbuilding ecosystem, China emerged as a market leader, commanding currently nearly 65% of global shipbuilding orders, an impressive rise considering the less than 10% share in 2000,” notes a new report from Intermodal.

Meanwhile, the combined orderbook share of Japan and South Korea has declined from 78% to 31% over the same period.

As of November 2024, the Chinese shipbuilding orderbook counts 3,256 vessels of 224m dwt total carrying capacity, marking a 37% increase from 2023 and a 72% rise from 2022, with the global orderbook increasing by 21% since 2023, according to data from Intermodal.

Stereo Jupiter near Opposition

Jupiter looks sharp in these two rooftop telescope images. Both were captured last year on November 17 from Singapore, planet Earth, about two weeks after Jupiter's 2023 opposition. Climbing high in midnight skies the giant planet was a mere 33.4 light-minutes from Singapore. That's about 4 astronomical units away. Jupiter's planet girdling dark belts and light zones are visible in remarkable detail, along with the giant world's whitish oval vortices. Its signature Great Red Spot is prominent in the south. Jupiter rotates rapidly on its axis once every 10 hours. So, based on video frames taken only 15 minutes apart, these images form a stereo pair. Look at the center of the pair and cross your eyes until the separate images come together to see the 3D effect. Of course Jupiter is now not far from its 2024 opposition. Planet Earth is set to pass between the Solar System's ruling gas giant and the Sun on December 7.

Eclipse-making double satellite Proba-3 enters orbit

05/12/2024

A pair of spacecraft were launched together today from India with the potential to change the nature of future space missions.

ESA’s twin Proba-3 platforms will perform precise formation flying down to a single millimetre, as if they were one single giant spacecraft.

To demonstrate their degree of control, the pair will produce artificial solar eclipses in orbit, giving prolonged views of the Sun’s ghostly surrounding atmosphere, the corona.

Fourteen ESA Member States including Canada came together on this mission, set to demonstrate game-changing European technology in the areas of autonomous operations and precision manoeuvring by delivering never-before-seen science results.

Proba-3 lifted off on a four-stage PSLV-XL rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, on Thursday, 5 December, at 11:34 CET (10:34 GMT, 16:04 local time).

Stacked together, the two satellites separated from their upper stage about 18 minutes after launch.

The pair will remain attached together while initial commissioning takes place, overseen from mission control at the European Space Security and Education Centre, ESEC, in Redu, Belgium.

Dietmar Pilz, ESA Director of Technology, Engineering and Quality notes, “Proba-3 has been many years in the making, supported through ESA’s General Support Technology Programme fostering novel technologies for space.

It is an exciting feeling to see this challenging enterprise enter orbit.”

Proba-3 mission manager Damien Galano adds, “Today’s liftoff has been something all of us in ESA’s Proba-3 team and our industrial and scientific partners have been looking forward to for a long time.

I’m grateful to ISRO for this picture-perfect ascent to orbit. Now the hard work really begins, because to achieve Proba-3’s mission goals, the two satellites need to achieve positioning accuracy down to the thickness of the average fingernail while positioned one and a half football pitches apart.”

“We are honoured that ESA entrusted NewSpace India Limited, NSIL, with its Proba-3 mission, and we are extremely satisfied to have delivered the satellites precisely into their designated orbit,” remarked Radhakrishnan Durairaj, Chairman and Managing Director of NSIL.

“This is an extremely ambitious mission, with an ambitious orbit to go with it: the satellites have been placed into a highly elliptical orbit which extends more than 60 500 km from the surface of Earth.

Reaching this orbit required the most powerful PSLV-XL variant of our launcher, equipped with additional propellant in its six solid rocket boosters.”

Up around the top of their orbits the Proba-3 Occulter spacecraft will cast a precisely controlled shadow onto the Coronagraph spacecraft around 150 m away, to produce solar eclipses on demand for six hours at a time.

“There was simply no other way of reaching the optical performance Proba-3 requires than by having its occulting disc fly on a separate, carefully controlled spacecraft,” explains ESA’s Proba-3 mission scientist Joe Zender.

“Any closer and unwanted stray light would spill over the edges of the disc, limiting our close-up views of the Sun’s surrounding corona.”

ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher commented, “Proba-3’s coronal observations will take place as part of a larger in-orbit demonstration of precise formation flying.

The best way to prove this new European technology works as intended is to produce novel science data that nobody has ever seen before.

“It is not practical today to fly a single 150-m long spacecraft in orbit, but if Proba-3 can indeed achieve an equivalent performance using two small spacecraft, the mission will open up new ways of working in space for the future.

Imagine multiple small platforms working together as one to form far-seeing virtual telescopes or arrays.”

If Proba-3’s initial commissioning phase goes to plan then the spacecraft pair will be separated early in the new year to begin their individual check-outs.

The operational phase of the mission, including the first observations of the corona through active formation flying, should begin in about four months.

Proba-3 was led for ESA by Sener in Spain, overseeing a consortium of 14 ESA Member States and Canada including Airbus Defence and Space in Spain manufacturing the spacecraft and Redwire Space in Belgium responsible for the spacecraft avionics, assembly and operations.

CSL in Belgium produced Proba-3’s ASPIICS coronagraph Spacebel in Belgium developed the onboard and ground segment software with GMV responsible for the formation flying system and flight dynamics.

NASA’s C-20A Studies Extreme Weather Events

Dec 04, 2024

On a changing planet, where phenomena like severe hurricanes, landslides, and wildfires are becoming more severe, scientists need data to assess and model disaster impacts and to potentially make predictions about hazards.

NASA’s C-20A aircraft is a significant asset that can carry key instruments for understanding the science behind these phenomena.

Based at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, the C-20A is a military version of the Gulfstream III business jet and operates as an airborne science aircraft for a variety of Earth science research missions.

In October, the plane was deployed to fly over areas affected by Hurricane Milton.

With winds of up to 120 miles per hour, the hurricane hit the Florida coast as a category 3 storm, and produced lightning, heavy rainfall, and a series of tornadoes.

In the aftermath of the storm, the C-20A was outfitted with the Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) instrument to collect detailed data about the affected flood areas.

“Our team focused specifically on inland river flooding near dense populations, collecting data that could help inform disaster response and preparation in the future,” said Starr Ginn, C-20A aircraft project manager.

“By all indications, this rapid response to support Hurricane Milton recovery efforts was a successful coordination of efforts by science and aircraft teams.”

The UAVSAR was developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, and uses a technique called interferometry to detect subtle changes to Earth’s surface.

Interferometry uses the intersection of multiple wavelengths to make precise measurements. This detection system effectively measures the terrain changes or impacts before and after an extreme natural event.

When flown onboard an aircraft, radars like the UAVSAR can also provide more detail than satellite radars.

“Where satellite instruments might only get a measurement every one to two weeks, the UAVSAR can fill in points between satellite passes to calibrate ground-based instruments,” Ginn said.

“It takes data at faster rates and with more precision. We can design overlapping flights in three or more directions to detect more textures and motions on the Earth’s surface.

This is a big advantage over the one-dimensional line-of-sight measurement provided by a single flight.”

The C-20A team also used the UAVSAR in October to investigate the Portuguese Bend landslide in Rancho Pales Verdes. The Portuguese Bend Landslide began in the mid- to late-Pleistocene period over 11,000 years ago.

Though inactive for thousands of years, the landslide was reactivated in 1956 when a road construction project added weight to the top of it. Recently, the landslide has been moving at increasing rates during dry seasons.

NASA’s JPL scientists, Xiang Li, Alexander Handwerger, Gilles Peltzer, and Eric Fielding have been researching this landslide progression using satellite-based instruments.

“The high-resolution capability of UAVSAR is ideal for landslides since they have relatively small features,” said Ginn. “This helps us understand the different characteristics of the landslide body.”

The C-20A airborne observatory also provided crucial insight for studies of wildfire.

The Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE), a multi-agency experiment led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, included flights of the C-20A.

This experiment studied fire behavior and smoke.

“The airborne perspective allows FASMEE researchers to better understand fire behavior and smoke production,” said Michael Falkowski, program manager for NASA’s Applied Sciences Wildland Fire program.

“Hopefully this data will help mitigate fire risk, restore degraded ecosystems, and protect human communities from catastrophic fire.”

Expanded AI Model with Global Data Enhances Earth Science Applications

Dec 04, 2024

NASA, IBM, and Forschungszentrum Jülich have released an expanded version of the open-source Prithvi Geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model to support a broader range of geographical applications.

Now, with the inclusion of global data, the foundation model can support tracking changes in land use, monitoring disasters, and predicting crop yields worldwide.

The Prithvi Geospatial foundation model, first released in August 2023 by NASA and IBM, is pre-trained on NASA's Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset and learns by filling in masked information.

The model is available on Hugging Face, a data science platform where machine learning developers openly build, train, deploy, and share models.

Because NASA releases data, products, and research in the open, businesses and commercial entities can take these models and transform them into marketable products and services that generate economic value.

“We’re excited about the downstream applications that are made possible with the addition of global HLS data to the Prithvi Geospatial foundation model.

We’ve embedded NASA’s scientific expertise directly into these foundation models, enabling them to quickly translate petabytes of data into actionable insights,” said Kevin Murphy, NASA chief science data officer.

“It’s like having a powerful assistant that leverages NASA’s knowledge to help make faster, more informed decisions, leading to economic and societal benefits.”

AI foundation models are pre-trained on large datasets with self-supervised learning techniques, providing flexible base models that can be fine-tuned for domain-specific downstream tasks.

Focusing on diverse land use and ecosystems, researchers selected HLS satellite images that represented various landscapes while avoiding lower-quality data caused by clouds or gaps.

Urban areas were emphasized to ensure better coverage, and strict quality controls were applied to create a large, well-balanced dataset.

The final dataset is significantly larger than previous versions, offering improved global representation and reliability for environmental analysis. These methods created a robust and representative dataset, ideal for reliable model training and analysis.

The Prithvi Geospatial foundation model has already proven valuable in several applications, including post-disaster flood mapping and detecting burn scars caused by fires.

One application, the Multi-Temporal Cloud Gap Imputation, leverages the foundation model to reconstruct the gaps in satellite imagery caused by cloud cover, enabling a clearer view of Earth's surface over time.

This approach supports a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring and agricultural planning.

Another application, Multi-Temporal Crop Segmentation, uses satellite imagery to classify and map different crop types and land cover across the United States.

By analyzing time-sequenced data and layering U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Crop Data, Prithvi Geospatial can accurately identify crop patterns, which in turn could improve agricultural monitoring and resource management on a large scale.

The flood mapping dataset can classify flood water and permanent water across diverse biomes and ecosystems, supporting flood management by training models to detect surface water.

Wildfire scar mapping combines satellite imagery with wildfire data to capture detailed views of wildfire scars shortly after fires occurred.

This approach provides valuable data for training models to map fire-affected areas, aiding in wildfire management and recovery efforts.

This model has also been tested with additional downstream applications including estimation of gross primary productivity, above ground biomass estimation, landslide detection, and burn intensity estimations.

“The updates to this Prithvi Geospatial model have been driven by valuable feedback from users of the initial version,” said Rahul Ramachandran, AI foundation model for science lead and senior data science strategist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

“This enhanced model has also undergone rigorous testing across a broader range of downstream use cases, ensuring improved versatility and performance, resulting in a version of the model that will empower diverse environmental monitoring applications, delivering significant societal benefits.”

Dragon Packed With Science and Now Targets Friday Undocking

December 4, 2024

Packing research samples and station hardware for return to Earth were the top tasks aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday.

The seven-member Expedition 72 crew also serviced a variety of science hardware and electronics gear throughout the orbital lab.

NASA astronauts are finishing up the loading of completed science experiments and lab hardware inside the Dragon spacecraft for retrieval and analysis on Earth.

NASA and SpaceX now are targeting Friday, Dec. 6, for the return of the resupply spacecraft. Mission managers waved off the planned return on Thursday, Dec. 5, due to forecasted high winds at the splashdown site off the coast of Florida.

NASA’s live coverage of Dragon’s undocking and departure begins at 10:50 a.m. EST on NASA+ as the spacecraft autonomously undocks from the Harmony module’s forward port around 11:05 a.m. on Friday.

NASA astronaut and station commander Suni Williams kicked off her day installing the sample-packed Space Automated Lab Incubator inside Dragon.

NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Butch Wilmore continued her work loading and securing portable science freezers filled with research samples and powered lockers containing finalized experiments inside the Earthbound spacecraft.

Williams and Hague also had time to join each other in the Quest airlock replacing components and resizing a spacesuit ahead of a series spacewalks planned for early next year.

Wilmore spent all day Wednesday loading cargo from the station into Dragon.

NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit started his day in the Kibo laboratory module configuring a small satellite orbital deployer that will soon be placed into the vacuum of space to release a series of CubeSats.

Pettit, a four-time space station visitor, wrapped up his shift replacing experiment samples inside the Combustion Integrated Rack readying the research device for a spacecraft fire safety investigation.

Roscosmos Flight Engineer Aleksandr Gorbunov also worked on cargo duties but on the other side of the orbital outpost.

Gorbunov unpacked some of the nearly three tons of cargo launched aboard the Progress 90 cargo craft on Nov. 21 and docking to the Poisk module on Nov. 23.

The first-time space flyer completed his day inspecting and photographing air conditioning hardware in the Zvezda service module.

Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner partnered together throughout the day Wednesday servicing a host of communications and electronics hardware in the orbital outpost’s Roscosmos segment.

Ovchinin then moved on and checked ventilation equipment inside the Zarya module. Vagner conducted a photo-inspection of windows inside Zvezda then collected his hair samples for biological analysis.

Riley Walz, the mastermind behind scraping Citibike data every minute, used this real-time tracking to uncover where the UnitedHealthcare CEO's suspected killer may have fled.

By analyzing Citibike movements, he discovered that the only northbound bike leaving a dock near the hotel within 10 minutes of the shooting was traced to the Upper East Side.

The assailant has still not been found, despite all this data.

German firm tests powerful NASA battery that offers 30,000 cycles, 30-year life

Dec 05, 2024 08:44 AM EST

RWE, a German energy company, is testing advanced battery technology originally developed by NASA for the International Space Station.

The innovative energy storage solution is being integrated into the company’s wind and solar projects.

RWE plans to test nickel-hydrogen batteries in a renewable energy pilot project at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, testing facility in the US.

The batteries, named Energy Storage Vessels (ESVs), capable of over 30,000 cycles, are supplied by EnerVenue, a company leading the commercial use of high-efficiency metal-hydrogen technology.

Nickel-hydrogen innovation

Energy storage technologies are urgently needed as the globe undergoes a significant shift to renewable energy sources.

Our greatest option to until has been lithium-ion batteries, but creating large-scale storage solutions is becoming more and more costly and time-consuming.

Li-ion batteries are vulnerable to thermal runaway, and in order to avoid a serious accident, big energy storage solutions require extra cooling, ventilation, and fire suppression facilities.

Batteries built on nickel and hydrogen may be useful in this situation.

Nickel-hydrogen batteries operate like traditional batteries with stacked electrodes, but they are enclosed in a pressurized gas tank.

The cathode uses nickel hydroxide, while the anode relies on hydrogen. Charging produces hydrogen gas, which is oxidized during discharge to create water.

Despite concerns about handling combustible hydrogen and pressurized tanks, the internal pressure is only 5 percent of that in hydrogen fuel cells.

Additionally, any excess pressure causes hydrogen to recombine into water, ensuring safety.

Advanced storage solutions

NASA has used nickel-hydrogen batteries for systems such as the International Space Station (ISS) since the 1970s. Platinum catalysts, which were expensive, were used in the initial design.

But in 2020, Yi Cui, a materials science professor at Stanford, created a less expensive substitute utilizing a nickel-molybdenum-cobalt alloy, opening up the technology for wider use.

Cui’s invention of an affordable nickel-molybdenum-cobalt alloy catalyst led to the founding of EnerVenue.

EnerVenue’s battery packs, called ESVs, feature six-foot-long, six-inch-wide tanks capable of storing 3 kWh of energy.

Unlike lithium-ion batteries, ESVs operate across a wide temperature range (-40°F to 140°F) without requiring additional safety measures.

However, nickel-hydrogen batteries are costlier to manufacture and have lower energy density, necessitating more units to match lithium-ion outputs.

Despite these limitations, nickel-hydrogen batteries excel in durability, with a lifespan of 30,000 charge cycles—equivalent to up to 30 years of use.

EnerVenue estimates they retain 86 percent capacity even after extensive use. This makes them a promising alternative for long-term energy storage in a sustainable energy future.

Advancing sustainability

RWE’s pilot project at its US testing facility near Milwaukee will evaluate EnerVenue’s ESV batteries.

The project’s objectives are to evaluate overall efficiency, temperature resilience, duration, charge and discharge performance, and cycling adaptability.

RWE will use the data from these experiments to improve the technology in preparation for possible future energy project integration.

RWE claims that ESVs have extremely long lifespans and can cycle three times a day.

Their scalable design ensures flexibility and safety, avoiding thermal runaway risks seen in lithium-ion batteries, thus eliminating costly fire suppression systems.

Additionally, ESVs are easier to recycle, enhancing their sustainability and environmental appeal.

“Energy Storage Vessels are built to meet the demands of even the most diverse and challenging clean energy applications, providing a reliable, long-lasting, and sustainable answer for large-scale renewable energy projects.

Collaborating with a leader like RWE allows us to showcase the capabilities of our technology and demonstrate how it can drive the future of clean energy expansion and grid resilience,” said Majid Keshavarz, CTO of EnerVenue, in a statement.

RWE develops and operates battery storage systems across the U.S., Europe, and Australia, with a current capacity of 0.7 GW and 1.4 GW under construction.

As part of its Growing Green strategy, the company aims to expand its capacity to 6 GW globally by 2030.

magniX achieves milestone in NASA test==

December 05, 2024

Electric aviation powertrain developer magniX reached a historic milestone in testing its magni650 electric propulsion unit (EPU) at NASA’s Electric Aircraft Testbed (NEAT) in Sandusky, Ohio.

The magni650 successfully performed at an altitude of 30,000 feet at a maximum continuous power of 700 kilowatts (kW) – an unprecedented achievement for an electric engine.

The breakthrough performance of magniX’s EPU under simulated flight conditions at altitude demonstrates its readiness for the flight test phase of NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project and moves it closer to the world’s first electric engine certification.

In the next stage of EPFD, one of the four turbine engines on magniX’s De Havilland Dash 7 test aircraft will be replaced with a magni650 electric powertrain, with test flights planned for 2026.

The final stage of the program will see a second turbine engine substituted with another magniX powertrain. This configuration is expected to reduce fuel consumption up to 40% on a typical flight.

The data collected will help bring the electrification of large-scale commercial aircraft closer to entry-into-service by the end of the decade.

With a record of powering first flights on five different aircraft, magniX is leading the advancement of electric aviation.

Having launched its Samson batteries earlier in 2024, with superior energy density and cycle-life, magniX provides a full electric powertrain solution with a pathway to entry-into-service.

“The NEAT test campaign has moved us closer to the world’s first certification of an electric powertrain for aviation,” said Ben Loxton, magniX VP of Technical Programs.

“The work we are doing with NASA in the EPFD project will enable the electrification of regional commercial aviation in pure electric on short routes, and hybridization on longer routes – significant steps toward the decarbonization of aerospace.”

BREAKING: Kash Patel just sent a legal notice to Mike Pence's advisor, Olivia Troye, to immediately retract the defamatory statements she made about him or face massive legal action.

On Joyles Reid's segment, Troye said, "Kash Patel is a delusional liar. And he would lie about intelligence. He would lie about making things up on operations. I think Mark Esper has talked about that as well. Where he put the lives of Navy SEALs at risk in an operation when it came to Nigeria."

In their letter, Patel's lawyers said, "Litigation will be filed against you if you fail to publicly retract defamatory statements you made about Mr. Patel on MSNBC on December 2, 2024… These comments include that Mr. Patel would "lie about intelligence" and would "lie about making things up on operations" to the point where Mr. Patel "put the lives of Navy Seals at risk when it came to Nigeria," and that Mr. Patel was even misinforming Vice President Mike Pence.

"This is a complete fabrication, and you know it is false by virtue of your former position in the White House. At no point did Mr. Patel ever lie about national intelligence, place Navy Seals at risk, or misinform the Vice President."

KASH IS NOT HERE TO PLAY GAMES.

Russia ready for Trump’s peace proposals – deputy FM

Moscow will consider the US president-elect’s ideas but will not compromise on its national interests, Sergey Ryabkov has warned

Russia is open to hearing US President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for resolving the Ukraine conflict, but has not yet received any concrete proposals, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has told CNN.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he will end the fighting between Russia and Ukraine in just 24 hours once he assumes office. However, since his victory in the presidential election last month,Moscow has not had any direct contact with Trump or his team regarding the issue, Ryabkov said. (That’s funny when I read the title, I thought they were already in contact, I still do.)

The diplomat stressed that Russia will examine the future US president’s ideas once he is ready to present them, but stressed that Moscow will under no circumstances compromise on its core national interests.

In the interview, Ryabkov also said there iscurrently “zero” chance of a compromise between Moscow and Kiev, as the positions laid out by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky appear to be “incompatible.”

“The moment people in Kiev begin to understand there’s no way Russia will go the way they suggested – there might be openings and opportunities,” the diplomat told CNN. (Putin doesn’t bluff, Zelensky lies and bluffs constantly)

Ryabkov also stated that thecurrent geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West are at an unprecedented level, even compared to the height of the Cold War, and expressed concern that the associated risks continue to grow.

The deputy minister cautioned that there is “no magic solution” to the conflict and accused the West of lacking common sense, restraint and “sober analysis,” while underestimating Russia’s resolve to defend its core security interests.

“We have not lost our senses. We will not let ourselves be provoked into anything,” Ryabkov said, adding that Russia nevertheless has the “stamina and strong will” to defend its national interest “with all means,” regardless of how much money the US burns in the conflict, or what “people in the EU believe they should do to support Kiev.”

“We will prevail there, no doubt,”the diplomat said.

Ryabkov went on to stress that Russia could eventually be forced to resort to “even stronger military means” than it has so far, if Washington fails to recognize that“Moscow cannot be pressurized indefinitely.”

He also issued a warning to the outgoing Biden administration, stressing that Russia would respond to any provocations and “find a way to assert our strong will.”

Zelensky’s top aide holding talks with Trump’s team

Andrey Yermak is telling the president-elect’s inner circle that Kiev won’t stand in the way of peace

Vladimir Zelensky’s right-hand manAndrey Yermak is trying to convince people close to US President-elect Donald Trump that Kiev could endorse his peace plans rather than being an obstacle, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The Republican has claimed that he can resolve the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours after he returns to the Oval Office in January.

Yermak, the chief of staff to the Ukrainian leader, is visiting the US to meet key figures picked by Donald Trump for his future administration, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and multiple news outlets have said.

According to the WSJ, Kiev has arranged contacts with Susie Wiles, the co-chair of Trump’s election campaign who has been tapped to becomeWhite House chief of staff, Keith Kellogg, who Trump has picked to be a special envoy to Ukraine, and Mike Waltz, the incoming national security adviser. (Kellogg will not be deceived)

Prior to the November presidential election, Zelensky caused a GOP backlash by visiting an arms factory in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, where he was received by Democrats. Republicans have accused the Ukrainian leader of campaigning for their rivals, with House Speaker Mike Johnson demanding that Kiev sack its ambassador to Washington, who organized the trip.

The lobbying attempt by Yermak comes as Ukrainian forces are suffering from battlefield defeatsand a shortage of reinforcements. In recent remarks, Zelensky has acknowledged that his country cannot beat Russia militarily and expressed a desire to restore control over all territories Kiev claims through diplomatic efforts.

According to CNN, Kiev has ordered the troops which occupy part of Kursk Region in Russia to hold on at all costs until Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

The operation, which has resulted in almost 38,000 Ukrainian casualties, according to Kremlin estimates, was meant to secure a bargaining chip in future talks.Trump’s transition team has reportedly proposed freezing hostilities along the current front line and suspending Ukraine’s bid to join NATO for at least a decade.

Moscow has said that no peace negotiations will happen as long as Ukrainian forces remain in Kursk Region. NATO’s intention to welcome Ukraine was a key cause of the conflict, Russian officials have maintained.

In his view,the CIA might very well have sent a highly trained Ukrainian diving teamto the Baltic Sea exactly as the Western media reported, though only to plant fake bombs. In his words, "when a cover story is made, it is done quite well. We shouldn't belittle the experience of the CIA or the experience of MI6 in preparing cover operations. They have quite a lot of experience in using proxies, in using cover stories to form a certain position in order to dodge responsibility. This is actually what happened."

Looking forward, Derkach expects Ukraine to attempt more terrorist attacks against Russia, which the US public is being preconditioned to accept via the CIA's various leaks to the media. While many might lay the blame for all this on Zelensky's lap,Derkach believes that it's actually his Chief of Staff Andrey Yermak who's running the show, albeit as a Western puppet. Nevertheless, he's also convinced that the West is indeed preparing to formally replace Zelensky, but doesn't yet know when or with whom.

Former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell announced a defamation suit on Monday against Olivia Troye, a former aide to Vice President Mike Pence, over allegations Troye made via Twitter, alleging that Grenell maintained ties to neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.

"Defendant Olivia Troye is a disgruntled former government employee who is on a malicious smear campaign against her political rivals," the suit summary began. Grenell filed the suit in the Circuit Court for the City of Alexandria.

"Specifically, Ms. Troye interjected herself in a Twitter exchange between Ambassador Grenell and a United States congressman and lied by alleging that Ambassador Grenell has ties to Nazis in Germany and that he tried to get Vice President Pence to attend a white supremacist event," it asserts.

"The allegation is as vile as it is false," the Grenell camp wrote. "Ms. Troye knew her statement was a lie when she posted it; she also made the allegation with reckless disregard for the truth." Grenell notes that he became the first openly gay cabinet member in U.S. history under Trump, albeit in an acting capacity.

In the suit, Grenell outlines Troye's employment history, stating that she was fired from her post due to her subpar job performance. He further cited public remarks from her supervisor, Pence national security adviser Keith Kellogg, who publicly acknowledged her termination due to performance issues.

"Because of her being publicly fired, Ms. Troye engaged in a malicious, smear campaign of misrepresentations and outright lies against members of the Trump administration," the suit alleges. "It is because of her deep-seated grudge against President Trump and his advisors that she decided to lie about Ambassador Grenell."

Russia’s top general speaks with US counterpart – MOD

The conversation between Valery Gerasimov and Charles Q. Brown Jr took place last week (Bidan cut this off shortly into the Ukraine fiasco, PDJT re-established the norms we’ve shared with Russia for decades)

Russia’s Chief of General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, had held a phone call with the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Q. Brown Jr, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said. GeneralGerasimov last spoke with his American counterpart in March 2023.

The phone conversation between the countries’ top generals took place onNovember 27, the ministry said in a statement on Thursday,when Gerasimov warned Brown about missile exercises in the Mediterranean Sea.

“During the conversation, the US side was informed about the exercises in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea by the Russian Navy and Aerospace Forces groupings, involving live-fire drills and launches of high-precision missiles,” the statement read.

The warning was made by Gerasimov“to prevent possible incidentsin connection with the presence of US and NATO ships near the area of the Russian exercise,” it added.

The drills in question took place on Tuesday, when Russian vessels launchednew ship-based Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, the Defense Ministry said in a previous statement.

Earlier in the day, Brown’s spokesman, Captain JD Dorsey, confirmed media reports about the two military leaders holding a conversation a week ago.

Gerasimov and Brown “discussed a number of global and regional security issues, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine,” Dorsey told ABC.

“This was the first time the leaders spoke since General Brown became chairman” in October 2023==, he noted.

After the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, Gerasimov communicated several times with Brown’s predecessor as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley.

The latest phone call remained undisclosed because “at the request of General Gerasimov, General Brown agreed to not proactively announce the call,” Dorsey said.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US military and defense officials, that the two generals had“talked about how to manage escalation concerns between the two countries” during their conversation.

One of the sources claimed that they had discussed Russia’s recent use of a new Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile to strike a Ukrainian military-industrial facility last month.

According to Moscow, thedeployment of the state-of-the-art system was a response to Washington and its alliesallowingUkraine to target internationally recognized Russian territorywith the long-range weapons they supply to Kiev.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned at the time that, if the Ukrainian attacks deep inside Russia continue, the authorities in Moscow reserve the right “to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow the use of their weapons against our facilities.” (Just like that, no more missiles from Ukraine.)

Vendée Globe Race watched from space with CLS

4 Dec 13:39 PST

As the skippers race in the sometimes ferocious Southern Ocean close to Antarctica, the Vendée Globe is paying extra attention to look after the sailors' safety.

A virtual zone called the Antarctic Exclusion Zone (ZEA) has been set up around Antarctica, prohibiting skippers from getting too close to the ice which is contained within this no go area.

This zone is defined by the mission-driven company CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites), who are a long-standing partner of the race which is mobilizing satellites and experts for a unparalleled level of surveillance from space.

Satellites at the service of skippers

From space, three types of satellites continuously monitor icebergs which could threaten skippers and their boats. At an altitude of 700 km, they detect, analyze and track the ice using advanced technologies.

Cloud-piercing radar satellites: to detect icebergs day and night.

Optical satellites: space cameras.

Altimetric satellites: normally used to measure the average sea level, their use has been diverted here to detect icebergs.

An innovative space collaboration

This monitoring would not be possible without the cooperation of the ESA (European Space Agency) and the CNES (Centre national d'études spatiales), parent company of CLS.

For this 10th edition of the Vendée Globe, CLS is relying on:

Sentinel-1A, a radar satellite from the European Space Agency (ESA).

SWOT, an altimetric satellite launched in 2022, an innovation from CNES, which maps risk areas and predicts the movements of icebergs.

With these tools, each iceberg is integrated into forecast models that simulate its trajectory and evolution, allowing real-time adjustments to the Antarctic Exclusion Zone (AEZ).

Exceptional human and technological resources

Nearly 100 CLS experts, in Toulouse and around the world, are mobilizing satellites and artificial intelligence to analyze the data. Their mission? Anticipate risks so that each skipper completes the loop in optimal safety conditions.

Alain Leboeuf, President of the Vendée Globe and the Vendée department: "Skipper safety is an absolute priority for the Vendée Globe.

Thanks to our long-standing partnership with CLS, we benefit from reassuring expertise and proven know-how, essential for meeting the unique challenges of the Southern Seas.

This collaboration illustrates the strength of a lasting commitment to innovation and the safety of our heroes of the seas."

"Those kinds of charges would have never been brought unless one side realized that they could weaponize that."

Unbeknownst to Fetterman, he called out Behar to her face, condemning people who were "gleeful" to call Trump a "convicted felon."

It turns out he made that statement to one of the worst offenders of that crime.

When Behar heard this, it was as if the life had been sucked out of her.

What a truly embarrassing moment for her.

Satellites find likely cause of mysterious African elephant deaths in 2020

Dec 5, 2024

The staggering and unexplained deaths of over 300 African elephants in early 2020 — one of the largest mass mortality events of wild mammals in recent history — was most likely due to toxins in water that proliferated due to climate extremes, according to a fresh analysis of a decade's worth of satellite data.

The mass death, a "conservation disaster" that occurred over the course of three months in Botswana's Okavango Delta, saw some elephant carcasses clustered around waterholes and others collapsed face-first on the ground.

While the region is a known poaching hotspot, the tusks of the elephants were found intact, ruling out human interference and prompting scientists to look for other causes.

Yet, efforts to establish a definitive cause of the mass mortality event — which would have involved collecting water and tissue samples to directly test for the presence of cyanotoxins — were hindered by the remote location of the Okavango Delta and further complicated by logistical challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tragedy occurred during the peak of the pandemic, which restricted movement and delayed critical fieldwork, preventing researchers from gathering direct evidence.

Now, however, a study combining satellite observations and aerial surveys of over 3,000 waterholes in the region found elevated algal levels near the deceased elephants, strengthening previous evidence that cyanobacterial neurotoxins — toxic compounds produced by microscopic blue-green algae called cyanobacteria — are the likely culprit behind the mass deaths.

"Algal blooms are routinely monitored by satellite, but this data isn't often used to investigate mass mortality events," study lead author Davide Lomeo of King's College London said in a statement.

"As the scale of elephant deaths from unknown causes was much higher than anything that's been seen before, it's important to use all sources of evidence to investigate what happened to these endangered animals."

Cyanotoxin concentrations in African inland water sources are often found to be thousands of times higher than World Health Organization guidelines regarding safe drinking water for animals and humans.

Still, satellite images of the Okavango Delta between 2015 and 2023 revealed cyanobacteria blooms had exploded to unprecedented levels during an unusually rainy season in early 2020, following the driest season in decades during the year prior.

This extreme shift from drought to intense rainfall delivered dramatic volumes of water to waterholes that were either completely dry or had very little water remaining after the 2019 drought, according to a new study published in the journal Science of The Total Environment.

This sudden influx of water caused the resuspension of high amounts of nutrients and sediments from at least 20 waterbeds of varying sizes, triggering frequent and severe growth of cyanobacteria known to thrive in nutrient-rich waters.

Satellite imagery also showed that the algae proliferated the most between March and May 2020, at the end of the rainy season.

As temperatures rose, the water became stagnant, further enhancing the conditions for the cyanobacteria to thrive and produce unprecedented levels of toxins.

When the elephants drank from these contaminated waterholes, they would have ingested lethal doses of cyanotoxins, which may have led to organ failure and ultimately caused their deaths.

The suffering animals likely traveled about 10.25 miles (16.5 kilometers) and died within 88 hours after being exposed to the toxins, the study found, which aligns with reported timelines of deaths associated with cyanobacterial poisoning in other large mammals.

Elephants may have also moved closer to water sources in their final days, potentially seeking hydration from increasingly toxic waterholes as they grew weaker.

The close proximity of the carcasses to these waterholes supports the hypothesis that the elephants' deaths were linked to the toxicity of the water, researchers say.

The Jihadists Take 2nd Major Syrian City After Assad's Army Withdraws

In another stunning advance by Syrian jihadists led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Hama has become the second major Syrian city to fall to the anti-Assad insurgents since the shock campaign based out of Idlib began last week.

The Syrian national army confirmed in a Thursday statement that it has withdrawn from the city, redeploying its forces "to preserve civilian lives and prevent urban combat."

The assault had been happening since Tuesday night, reportedly with violent clashes with the Syrian Army being most concentrated in the Jabal Zayn al-Abidin area, just north of Hama.

Hama is one-third of the way from Aleppo to Damascus, and puts the HTS jihadists a significant step closer to accessing Syria's most populous government regions.

One of the largest Christian towns of Syria, neighboring Muhrada, is now under direct threat.

Not talking with Putin ‘absurd’ – Germany’s Scholz

The chancellor has defended last month’s phone conversation with the Russian president

(Did Trump tell Scholtz to contact Putin? Or did Scholtz did it to try to undo the enmity he himself created?)

It would be absurd not to communicate with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine conflict, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said. Germany and other EU states would be consigning themselves to irrelevance if they failed to do so, he told lawmakers in Berlin.

Scholz held a phone conversation with Putin in mid-November, which wastheir first in almost two years. The German head of government urged the Kremlin to withdraw its troops from territories claimed by Ukraine, reiterating his determination to support Kiev for “as long as necessary.” The Russian president, in turn, attributed the escalation of hostilities in 2022 to NATO’s “long-standing aggressive policy aimed at creating an anti-Russian bridgehead on Ukrainian territory.” (So Scholtz has a call with Putin in mid November, and the Russia’s Chief of General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, had held a phone call with the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Q. Brown Jr, November 27 and hadn’t spoke in 2-1/2 yearsWho ordered Scholtz and Brown to speak with Putin and Gerasimov?)

According to a readout published by the Kremlin, Putin also expressed readiness to engage in talks with Ukraine, stressing, however, that new territorial realities should be taken into account and the “root causes of the conflict” eliminated.

During a Q&A session in the German parliament on Wednesday, an opposition MP from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) voiced skepticism over last month’s call. Scholz responded by stating:“Everybody knows that it would be absurd and a sign of unbelievable political weakness, if we in Germany and in Europe now waited for others to conduct these phone conversations, and we sort of commented on the news shown on TV.”

• Scholz further insisted that Western European nations must talk to Moscow, despite a difference of opinion.

• Previously commenting on the conversation, the German chancellor similarly dismissed criticisms that his outreach could undermine Western unity, arguing that diplomatic channels should remain open and saying that he expected to talk to Putin again.

• Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has criticized the phone call between Scholz and Putin, claiming that it could weaken the Kremlin’s “isolation.”

• Putin said in late November that “there was nothing unusual” about his call with Scholz, with both officials laying out their positions on the Ukraine conflict.

•The Russian president added that some other Western leaders were “willing to resume” dialogue, stressing that he remained open to such overtures.(gives credence to my theories below)

• The phone conversation between Scholz and Putin received mixed reactions in the West.

In a post on X, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed that “no-one will stop Putin with phone calls.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized the importance of maintaining a “level of engagement with counterparts who in many cases we disagree with.” (Poland really doesn’t want peace with Russia, they are full speed ahead, and problems)

>>269547 (You) RT - Russia’s top general speaks with US counterpart -PN

2/2

My Analysis of the last 4 articles from RT (please give me your input or corrections):

•I can see why RT used that picture that Ryabov was so happy in, from all four prior articles are connected together, andwhy Russia is ready for Trump’s peace plan(because it’s almost finished).

• I mentioned there were messages when I posted the the last two articles. Ok, I’ve got it, why all three of these are messages, with the same theme.

The two prior articles connect and this 3rd one does also.

• 1st one: ”Russia ready for Trump’s peace proposals – deputy FM” Ryabkov the Foreign Minister stating Russia is hopeful about Trump’s plan for peace

• 2n one: “Zelensky’s top aide holding talks with Trump’s team” Andrey Yermak is telling the president-elect’s inner circle that Kiev won’t stand in the way of peace. It seems Zelensky is been put aside and Yermak and not being the demanding tyrant Zelensky is, and will really work with Trump. Maybe he and Trump Team, want the CIA and terrorists out of Ukraine, and they don’t want more Ukrainians dying.

• 3nd one: “Russia’s top general speaks with US counterpart – MOD”. The top leaders of Russia’s and America’s Armed Forces speak, which means Trump is CiC has ordered our Military to work it out, and stop any war against Russia. They were also told to work with Russia what they would accept, to end the Ukraine conflict so Trump can end the war on day one.

• 4rd one “Not talking with Putin ‘absurd’ – Germany’s Scholz”: Based on the prior article and this one, Trump is forcing Scholtz (and leaders in the US and in the EU to make amends with Russia). This article is the next reconciliation with Russia, by the stupidly stubborn Scholtz that betrayed and deceived Putin, and pushed the Ukraine war to start, along with Macron. Scholtz had to apologize on the phone in mid-November call to Putin, every shitty thing he did that caused it. (Scholtz absurdly and intently did not speak to Russia for more than two years, so that comment, “it would be absurd to not talk to Russia”, must have been humiliating to say.

• 5th step (no article yet): Scholtz and Macron worked to deceive Putin and start the Ukraine operation. So the next one to apologize is Macron, andsurprisingly Trump will be seeing Macron on Saturday(my own my coincidence). So when will Macron make his phone call to Putin?

• 6th step (no article yet):The possible last reconciliation is the US, Ukraine, German and Scandinavian countries admit they blew up Nord Stream and have to pay Russia back. That absolutely has to happen. I’d be happy too with these three events happening in days or weeks of each other, if I Russia.

• 7th step: The Dollar and the Brics, there should be some serious conversation with the US and all the countries. Fist the US must cement into Federal Law the Dollar can never be used for blackmail or destroying another countries economy, the entire Swift system needs to be reinforced to be non political and not a weapon to create problems, and destroy countries.

IMO Trump is forcing Reconciliation with Russia, there will be a lot more to this plan, because Trump will not tolerate War or the DS starting wars again. He wants a highly successful US and the world.

I'm sure there is a lot more involved and revealed by the articles, this is my basic gist right now.

Work From Home BLOODBATH

Huge first step for Trump presidency with powerful new DOGE rule to be unleashed on millions of stay-at-home bureaucrats

A Republican unveiled a new bill that will give Donald Trump's DOGE agency the tools and clear direction to hit the ground running on day one of the next administration.

Trump tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to 'dismantle' the $6.5 trillion bloated U.S. bureaucracy by heading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.

They plan to cut wasteful regulations and spending by specifically targeting the number of federal government employees.

Top Republican Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is leading DOGE's aggressive plans on a new 'DOGE Caucus' being set up in the Senate.

On the House side, Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., was tapped for a powerful job assisting DOGE by chairing a new congressional subcommittee.

Ernst's first DOGE-related bill exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, the REMOTE Act, will use software to monitor bureaucrats' computer use and require agency reports on the adverse impacts of telework.

It will also provide key information on how to get D.C. back to work.

Musk, along with his toddler X, and Ramaswamy are on Capitol Hill Thursday to meet with the lawmakers and get a plan in place heading into the next administration.

DailyMail.com learned that Ernst will be pushing her new 60-page report outlining the most efficient ways for DOGE to root out abuse during their meeting.

She found that only 6 percent of federal workers report in-person on a full-time basis.

The new bill will ensure accountability of teleworking federal workers by requiring agencies to 'periodically review the network traffic generated by each such teleworking employee.'

It will collect the 'average number of logins made' by every employee and the average duration of their time spent on the computer network.

It will also collect the network traffic that workers generate. …

Muon Space climate-monitoring satellites eyed for military applications

December 5, 2024

Muon Space, a startup specializing in small satellites for Earth climate monitoring, has been awarded a $2.9 million contract by the U.S. Space Force to evaluate its satellite technology for military applications.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 2 agreement, announced Dec. 5, aims to assess whether Muon’s instruments can provide high-resolution imagery of cloud cover and weather conditions critical for military and intelligence operations.

Based in Mountain View, California, Muon Space is working to advance dual-use technology through collaborations with defense and environmental stakeholders.

Its latest project, in partnership with the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance, involves deploying a constellation of “FireSat” satellites in low Earth orbit to monitor wildfires and related environmental phenomena.

The Space Force contract will explore how these systems might also fulfill defense needs.

Cloud cover data

Accurate cloud cover imaging is vital for military operations, as precision-guided munitions, satellite imagery scheduling and reconnaissance planning rely on detailed weather data.

Historically, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) has provided this capability, but the aging fleet is nearing the end of its operational life, prompting a search for other solutions.

Muon Space’s electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) instruments, designed for climate monitoring, have shown promise in addressing military requirements, CEO Jonny Dyer told SpaceNews.

Under an earlier contract with the U.S. Air Force, Muon has been studying its capabilities to capture cloud characterization data.

The new agreement broadens that scope, allowing the company to evaluate its sensors’ ability to deliver comprehensive weather imagery using its upcoming FireSat constellation.

Scheduled for launch in 2026, FireSats will carry instruments tailored for both wildfire detection and weather monitoring.

“It’s a dual-use technology that not only supports defense priorities but also the wildfire monitoring mission,” Dyer said.

He explained that the FireSat infrared instruments will include additional spectral bands to enhance their cloud cover imaging capabilities.

To better understand military requirements, the company has been working with the Air Force’s 557th Weather Wing, the military’s primary meteorological unit, which integrates weather inputs from various sources to generate operational models.

Muon Space is vertically integrated, meaning it designs and builds its satellites, handles launches, and delivers data directly to customers. To date, the company has launched two satellites.

The first, a demonstration mission, took place in June 2023, followed by a prototype weather satellite launched in March 2024 in partnership with the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and the Defense Innovation Unit.

This prototype, however, does not provide the infrared data that would be required for theater weather imagery.

The Iowa senator also outlined the 'silly science' projects that Americans are funding with no real benefit.

That includes projects finding answers to 'how fast can a shrimp run on a treadmill' and 'where does it hurt most to be stung by a bee.'

In addition, there was a study conducted looking into if water tastes better out of the bottle or the toilet and about 'how long it takes for a panda to poop.'

Ernst says it didn't stop there as taxpayers funded a study investigating whether a sour cream and onion chip looks like Elvis Presley.

'These might be fun to ask contestants on a game show, but the real question is: why are taxpayers supporting any of these studies?' questioned the lawmaker.

Space Force special duty assignment application window closes Jan. 7

Dec. 4, 2024

Special duty assignments offer Guardians a unique opportunity to step into prestigious roles instrumental to the service’s mission.

They also serve as a unique platform for professional growth, allowing Guardians to expand their skill sets and gain experiences that are invaluable to their careers and the mission of the Space Force.

With the application window for Space Force special duty assignments for calendar year 2025 now open, Guardians have the opportunity to expand the breadth and depth of their skills while gaining knowledge of another part of the Space Force enterprise outside their normal duties.

Guardians interested in Space Force Honor Guard, First Sergeant, Guardian Talent Scout (Recruiter) and Professional Military Education Instructor special duty assignments must submit their applications for one of these assignments before the application window closes on Jan. 7, 2025.

Chief Master Sgt. Abifarin Scott, Headquarters Space Force Chief Human Capital Officer senior enlisted advisor, shared his thoughts on why special duty assignments present unique opportunities to Guardians in support of Space Force’s mission.

"Enlisted special duty assignments are critical opportunities that provide the breadth of experience needed to build credible NCOs and SNCOs,” Scott said.

“These institutional requirements have been deemed imperative to the success of the service’s mission, as they allow Guardians to understand their roles in developing and training Guardians while reinforcing Space Force culture outside of the operational ecosystem.”

Honor Guard Special Duty Assignments

Senior Master Sgt. Matthew Massoth, Space Force Honor Guard senior enlisted leader, noted how the unit exemplifies the leadership and professionalism that special duty assignments cultivate.

"Across the Space Force, Guardians make the impossible a reality every single day; they are true warfighting professionals,” Massoth said.

“Our mission is to be the physical embodiment of these professionals. We inspire confidence in the American public, trust in our allies, and hesitation from our adversaries.”

Sgt Jordan Dunkerson, a Space Force Honor Guard member currently going through technical training, recommends Guardians consider applying to be an Honor Guard or other special duty assignments because they are pivotal in shaping the future of the force.

“You’re afforded a rare opportunity to represent the nation’s newest military branch in an area outside of your field of expertise, hone new skills, improve your leadership capabilities, and ultimately carry those experiences back into the operational side of the Space Force,” Dunkerson said.

First Sergeant Special Duty Assignments

Meanwhile, First Sergeant duties offer Guardians the opportunity to directly influence unit morale and readiness.

Acting as a direct link between enlisted personnel, officers and leadership, their influence ensures that the Space Force maintains a cohesive and high-performing workforce, ready to address the challenges of a contested and evolving space domain.

Talent Scout Special Duty Assignments

Similar to other services’ recruiters, Guardian Talent Scouts play a vital role in recruiting the next generation of Space Force professionals.

Also known as recruiters, they aid the Space Force by identifying high-quality candidates, facilitating the recruiting process and guiding the next generation of Guardians.

PME Instructor Special Duty Assignments

PME instructors are at the forefront of shaping the Space Force’s future leaders by delivering advanced training and education.

The Space Force’s mission to defend U.S. and allied interests in space depends on a well-educated and capable leadership cadre.

PME instructors contribute directly to this mission by preparing Guardians to tackle complex challenges and lead with confidence in a rapidly changing domain.

"The service has been extremely deliberate in assessing which special duty requirements we would allow Guardians to do given our size and focused scope of expertise,” Scott said.

“That list has grown slightly over the years as the service, on its path to discovery, has quickly recognized how important the role of having Guardians embedded throughout the service’s ecosystem truly is.”

Guardians interested in applying must submit their applications through their chain of command. The Special Duty Assignment Selection Board will convene from Jan. 20-24, 2025, to review submissions.

Selected candidates will be notified of their status by Feb. 7, 2025, via the leadership chain of command and MyFSS, the platform that the Space Force uses to consolidate human resources applications.
