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.
I have posted much of Ashton’s research and have found it credible enough to keep doing that. There has been a lull in new information for many months. Now this. The ‘bubble’ is the blocked satellite imaging of the Flight MH370, which supposedly was lost in flight and never found. The ‘bubble’ proves we have had this information all along but are still concealing it. Ashton has a wild story by the horns and this looks pretty conclusive. The gist of the story is USA has time-warp technology that can disappear an entire airplane and also do much worse than that. The tech is so powerful it could be world-ending if released and used as a weapon. Further, concise background information on Ashton’s work with links to important video can be found here. ABN
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.
President Trump hosted Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office and took questions from reporters on Thursday. The majority of the question from both the U.S. and Norwegian media encompass the current effort to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine.
One of the ceasefire ‘sticking points’ per se’, is that immediately following the breakout of the conflict the government of President Zelenskyy changed many of their constitutional rules to include the legal elimination of opposition parties in the country, removal of religion or faith-based social influence that runs counter to the Ukrainian Nazi mindset, the cessation of elections in Ukraine, and other “emergency measures” intended to assist the stability of Zelenskyy’s government as they entered a war footing.
The results of the legal changes and constitutional framework, which included non-recognition of any lost territory, is now being leveraged by Zelenskyy in negotiations for a ceasefire. President Zelenskyy is now saying the ceasefire terms proposed, which include accepting regional losses of geography to Russia, are not constitutionally possible and he has no power to agree to them.
In essence, Zelenskyy’s emergency government changed the constitutional power of the President, cemented a new constitutional status during war, and now says those previous changes make it impossible to accept proposed terms. This self-fulfilling creation, intentionally done with forethought for exactly this kind of current scenario, is the baseline for frustration toward the Ukraine position. President Trump notes this Ukraine position is frustrating, while thousands die weekly in the process. WATCH:
UPDATE: I do not consider Zelensky to be a Ukrainian or working for the benefit of Ukraine. Crimea is old Russian territory and vital to their access to the Black Sea. Much of Ukraine was always part of Russia, so a lot of the back and forth on territory lost or gained is, sadly, nonsense. Here is a map of languages spoken in the territory in question. It’s a very telling map and ridiculous to pretend the history of this region is not very Russian. Crimea was ‘given’ to Ukraine by Khrushchev at the stroke of a pen. Odessa became a Russian navy harbor in 1794 by decree of the Russian Empress, Catherine the Great. ABN
UPDATE: I waited on this because I wanted to watch it before posting. Watched it last night. It is well-worth viewing. Weldon is calling for a presidential inquiry and wants to hear ‘the thousands of architects and engineers who are risking their careers by questioning 9/11’ speak publicly before the inquiry, along with firemen, police, former intelligence officials, and others. He says the official story and the 9/11 Commission Report are total ‘garbage’, as most of us already know. Carlson is alert, aware, sympathetic and apologizes profusely for his nasty 9/11 errors in the past (which were very bad and caused me to despise him for many years). Sandy Berger, Phillip Zelikow, and other Jewish Supremists feature in Weldon’s evidence that dark forces within the CIA did 9/11, not Muslim terrorists; but he never goes so far as to implicate Israel in aiding and abetting the attack if not planning and orchestrating it. I agree with Weldon that this is a perfect time to reopen the investigation. The Zelikow tall tale of 9/11 is blatant mind-control ‘garbage’; and as such excellent evidence of the coverup of what really happened and who was involved. 9/11 is recent enough that shining public light on it will profoundly affect USA and the world; I believe for the good. I do not know if Trump has the power or understanding to do it. ABN
Pam Bondi’s ability to manage the Department of Justice has come under increased scrutiny from the right. File releases are delayed or mismanaged. No apparent action is taken against subversive government officials. And J6ers and other victims of a weaponized DoJ remain unsatisfied.
Many have raised the question of whether Pam Bondi was the right choice for MAGA attorney general. Many more, including President Trump, would be questioning her bona fides if they knew about Bondi’s role in the creation of Black Lives Matter.
How Trump handles the DoJ will be crucial to the success of his second term. His failure to take control of the Justice Department marred his first term. Uncertain of his powers, Trump bowed to the media and Democrats, who screamed for the DoJ to remain “independent.” He and his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, watched impotently as the Deep State subverted his presidency with the Russiagate witch hunt and prosecuted key advisers such as Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Mike Flynn.
Pam Bondi is no Jeff Sessions, but her history raises questions about her willingness to fight an entrenched opposition. The case against her revolves around her mishandling of the prosecution of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to St Petersburg (interesting venue), and spent approximately 5 hours in discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top two advisors. This was Witkoff’s third direct face-to-face meeting with President Putin.
First, President Putin would never give this much time to a non-principal in any geopolitical conversation, unless Putin felt he was directly talking to the principal through the voice in front of him. In essence, Trump has told Putin that Witkoff is his mouth and ears, Putin responds accordingly. When Putin speaks to Witkoff he is speaking to Trump, and when Putin hears from Witkoff he is hearing from Trump.
Following the five-hour meeting with President Putin, Witkoff appears on Fox News so that Sean Hannity can tell Witkoff what his meeting with Putin really means. Hannity is not only insufferable, at this point in time he is best considered a confidential human source, ¹acting on behalf of the CIA who influence him. WATCH:
Within the brief moments provided by Hannity for Witkoff to speak, the envoy of President Trump noted both Putin and Trump understand the core issues and are aligned to solve the problem despite the CIA and SSCI efforts to keep wedging them apart. Additionally, Trump and Putin see a future where geopolitical and economic alignment can be very beneficial for both Russia and the United States; they just need to find a way to navigate the complex politics on the U.S/NATO side of the mess.
President Putin does not want an alignment with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it’s not a natural fit for Russia to be strategically networking with China. Put a simpler way, Putin really doesn’t like Chairman Xi because Russia values brutal honesty in relationships, not the Beijing cunningness, ulterior motives and manipulative self-interest.
President Trump and President Putin can be natural allies. Both leaders have the same basic national security worldview and on an economic front Putin would rather have financial ties to the West than the East.
However, the broader CIA apparatus is not going to give up power or control to President Trump without a fight. Recently the CIA operated rotor wing (helicopter) drones to attack Moscow in order to provoke a useful response from Putin. Despite the efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, both the CIA and State Dept embeds are operating to maintain their control in Ukraine.
Russia is a major part of the West. There is no other more natural ally to Europe and the collective West than Russia. Putin has always seen it this way. The question is who controls the CIA, thus causing them to work against this alliance. Who started and is prolonging the Ukraine War? Ukraine is what Russia would look like today had Putin not gained control. There is a large component of Jewish Supremacism showing through wide cracks in American and European policies toward Russia. The collective West, minus Russia, clearly wants and has stated many times that they are working to break Russia into a bunch of small nations that can be easily controlled. The deepest question is who controls the collective West, which probably means who controls the CIA? Does Trump know? I doubt it. Are Jewish Supremacists in control of the CIA? Do they themselves even know? The puzzle of who has ultimate control within a top secret and extremely powerful organization (the CIA) illustrates that even the most powerful people in the world may not, and probably do not, know who is at the top. In fact, even the top person may not be sure he is at the top. This is the basis of KOBK game theory, which is always the bottom line of world history. As for Jewish Supremists: if they are the top controllers within the CIA and thus the collective West, why are they so obstreperous about it? Are they neurotic hegemons of the world or are they ‘mere’ nervous fronts for the real hegemon we cannot see? ABN
“The manuscript had survived the centuries after being recycled and repurposed in the 1500s as the cover for a property record from Huntingfield Manor in Suffolk, owned by the Vanneck family of Heveningham,” the university’s statement noted.
“It meant the remarkable discovery was folded, torn and even stitched into the binding of the book – making it almost impossible for Cambridge experts to access it, read it or confirm its origins,” the university said in a news release.

Thanks to modern technology – including multi-spectral imaging, computed tomography and 3D modeling – experts were able to scan and create a virtual image of the manuscript without risking any damage to it.
Much discussion between races has been on the black and white, but it’s much more nuanced, and thus perhaps more intriguing, to analyze the achievement gap between the west and the east.
Richard Lynn and J. Philippe Rushton have produced credible and data-backed articles that show how East Asians fare better in a host of traits, primarily intelligence. However, during one recorded session with J. Philippe Rushton, he seemed to be not able to answer the question about how eastern societies had not been able to develop to the extent the Western ones had. This popular conception that Asians fare better than Whites in terms of intelligence contrasts with how East Asian societies fare compared to Western ones, both past and present, and with how the Chinese had been perceived.
In 1894, Arthur Smith published Chinese Characteristics, a collection of twenty-six essays. The author had great credentials: he had spent roughly two decades in China. This is a fairly accurate book, although a lot of the content seems to be more negative than positive. Throughout the book, Chinese are portrayed as little better than savages, vastly different from the current view. Judging from the essay titles alone, the ills of Chinese society are named in the title of nine essays, although many more are sprinkled throughout other essays: (5) Disregard of Time, (6) Disregard of Accuracy, (7) Talent for Misunderstanding, (8) Talent for Indirection, (12) Contempt for Foreigners (15) Indifference to Comfort and Convenience, (21) Absence of Sympathy, (24) Mutual Suspicion, (25) Absence of Sincerity.
Those who are both very poor and very ignorant, as is the fate of millions, have indeed so narrow a horizon that intellectual turbidity is compulsory. Their existence is merely that of a frog in a well, to which even the heavens appear only as a strip of darkness.
Life consists of two compartments, a stomach and a cash-bag. Such a man is the true positivist, for he cannot be made to comprehend anything which he does not see or hear, and of causes as such he has no conception whatsoever. Life is to him a mere series of facts, mostly disagreeable facts, and as for anything beyond, he is at once an atheist, a polytheist, and an agnostic.
As with much of what I post, I do not necessarily agree with this author but find the topic interesting and his viewpoint refreshing. Cultural differences are very real as are genetic difference which are molded or honed by culture over the centuries. The whole world needs to do much more talking about cultural and genetic differences and similarities. The essay above may get some people thinking and inspire others to delve into this topic.
Trump has launched a response to China’s decades-long trade war against us. One factor at play was referred to the other day when Trump said of Xi, ‘I don’t think he knows how to make a deal’, or words to that effect. Having lived in China for many years, I have noticed that most of the time most Chinese see ‘deals’ as win-lose propositions and they almost always go for the win at any cost. There are exceptions but not many, in my experience. On the world stage, we are seeing that same zero-sum strategy being played by Xi Jinping and the CCP; the only difference between him and CCP leaders who preceded him is he is more ruthless, more zero-sum in how he makes ‘deals’. A tangential observation to this one is over the past 10-15 years I seem to have noticed a decline in the dating value of Chinese women in the West. If true, that may be due to their not knowing how to make relationship deals that are good for both parties. ABN
