Ashton Forbes NEW information — ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we f’ing got them’

USA-229 is a pair of Naval Ocean Surveillance Satellites (NOSS) in control of the US Navy. Their systems are classified but their purpose is to track boats and airplanes.

The satellites were launched in 2011. BAE Systems was awarded a $50 million contract in 2010 to develop Argus-IR. Testing was spring 2012 consistent with the satellite launch having the Argus payload.

“ARGUS-IR further expands military capability by providing 24-hour, day-night reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities over a much wider area than previously possible,” said Dr. John Antoniades

“ARGUS-IR will provide at least 130 independently steerable video streams to enable real-time tracking of individual targets throughout the field of view.”

This is the real location of USA-229 on March 7th, 2014 and that bubble is the coordinates of the satellite video.

USA-229 relays to NROL-22, which beams the data to ground based computers to produce the fully interactive video.

Ladies and gentlemen, we f’ing got them.

New report reveals helicopter pilot made fatal mistake that caused Black Hawk to collide with jet and kill 67

The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the American Airlines passenger airplane did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident, a bombshell new report has revealed. 

On the night of January 29, Army Black Hawk pilot Capt. Rebecca Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor. 

Three months on, new details published by The New York Times revealed that the pilot made more than one mistake leading to one of the worst catastrophes in aviation history.

Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course.

Lobach’s piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that an aircraft was nearby, according to the report.

Just 15 seconds before colliding with the commercial airplane, air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so. 

Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.

My time in China showed me what we’re up against. Trump’s the first one in decades willing to actually do something about it — Jack Poso

The $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen

Ask just about anybody, and they’ll tell you that new cars are too expensive. In the wake of tariffs shaking the auto industry and with the Trump administration pledging to kill the federal EV incentive, that situation isn’t looking to get better soon, especially for anyone wanting something battery-powered. Changing that overly spendy status quo is going to take something radical, and it’s hard to get more radical than what Slate Auto has planned.

Meet the Slate Truck, a sub-$20,000 (after federal incentives) electric vehicle that enters production next year. It only seats two yet has a bed big enough to hold a sheet of plywood. It only does 150 miles on a charge, only comes in gray, and the only way to listen to music while driving is if you bring along your phone and a Bluetooth speaker. It is the bare minimum of what a modern car can be, and yet it’s taken three years of development to get to this point.

But this is more than bargain-basement motoring. Slate is presenting its truck as minimalist design with DIY purpose, an attempt to not just go cheap but to create a new category of vehicle with a huge focus on personalization. That design also enables a low-cost approach to manufacturing that has caught the eye of major investors, reportedly including Jeff Bezos. It’s been engineered and will be manufactured in America, but is this extreme simplification too much for American consumers?

Virginia Giuffre as seen by Nick Bryant

I’m feeling deeply saddened, because Virginia Giuffre died tonight, reportedly of suicide. When I first met Virginia, she had acquired millions of dollars by litigating against ethical eunuchs Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, and she was impassioned about starting a large anti-trafficking NGO.

She hadn’t wavered when she named a number of powerful men as her perpetrators. But in a strange twist, she eventually wavered on Alan Dershowitz, who had lied about his relationship with Epstein and is an all around nasty piece of work. I personally think that she was somehow leveraged to waver about her abuse at the hands of Dershowitz.

Virginia started to detach from me and other Epstein victims after she hired New York City publicist Dini von Mueffling. I was told by a second Epstein victim that Virginia referred to von Mueffling as her “handler.”

And then there’s the ethical eunuch lawyers David Boies and Stanley Pottinger who were integral to representing Virginia and over “20 Epstein victims.” Both Boies and Pottinger had ulterior motives, and both have a long history of major malfeasance. They are not superlative attorneys to litigate sexual abuse cases.  

As I’ve demonstrated elsewhere, the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program overseen by Jordana Feldman and Boies was a major coverup tool. The criteria that was used to reward victims was shrouded in mystery, and victims who received settlements from the Compensation Program had to sign NDAs that didn’t allow them to sue the other perpetrators who abused them. The Compensation Program also ensured that there wasn’t depositions and discovery that would implicate other perps.

Virginia had experienced child sexual abuse before she was even trafficked by Epstein as a minor. She was trafficked by vipers and her lawsuits were litigated by vipers.

Virginia Giuffre’s death explained — Ryan Dawson

Virginia Giuffre: Her kidney failure wasn’t from the car crash. Going to the hospital because of the car crash serendipitously alerted doctors to her kidney condition that was already terrible. They told her she had about 4 days to live IF she didn’t get treatment. She wanted to see her kids. No one came. Her kidneys were most likely dying from pills and the sexual abuse plus looming divorce plus being separated from her kids plus tabloids attacking her, was killing her. She self medicaided. She died last night April 25th in Neergabby. 

I know people are making a picture of a post she made 6 years ago saying she’d never kill herself. That was before losing a husband of 22 years and 3 kids. She said two weeks ago that she was ready to go just wanted to see her babies one last time.

She posted the song somebody that I used to know. The she posted a black screen with a broken heart emoji.

Virginia Giuffre, 41, found dead of apparent suicide

New details have emerged about Virginia Giuffre‘s final moments after she was found unresponsive in a rural town in Western Australia – as those closest to her break cover at the family’s $1.9million mansion in Perth

Ms Giuffre, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, took her own life at her farmhouse in Neergabby on Friday night. 

She was one of the most prominent accusers of convicted sex offenders Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who she said kept her as a sex slave while flying her around the world and offering to their powerful associates ‘like a platter of fruit’.

She alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17 and was three times sexually assaulted by him – a claim which Prince Andrew has denied. The prince reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022.

A WA Police Force spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia preliminary findings indicated the death was ‘not suspicious’ and that paramedics had provided ’emergency first aid’ shortly after arriving at the home. 

‘About 9.50pm Friday 25 April, emergency services received a report a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby,’ they said. 

‘Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first-aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene.
