"In an urgent letter to Buttigieg’s DOT in April 2024, air industry trade association officials warned that at the current rate of hiring, it could take as long as 90 years for the FAA to reach its targeted staffing levels in some of the critical New York air traffic control centers.
"At the same time, the focus of the department under Buttigieg also shifted, with roughly 400 DEI-related grants approved, according to a review of federal spending between 2021 and 2024."

"Weinstein argues that the Epstein “construct” was what the military calls “dual use” --that is, that Epstein had multiple missions running concurrently.
One mission, of course, was that of running a grotesque sexual honeypot, exploiting minors, for purposes of blackmail.
But another, Weinstein argues, is the management and direction of Western science itself. Weinstein notes that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, the late publishing magnate/reputed intelligence asset Robert Maxwell, founded the scientific imprint Pergamon Press, the Oxford-based imprint that published medical books and journals, which was bought by Elsevier, which is the main scientific publishing imprint (and the advance guard scientifically for the COVID/vaccine narrative; indeed, Elsevier created a “resource hub” about COVID for “librarians, campuses and health professionals”, an oddly activist offering from what is supposed to be a neutral scientific platform)."

A massive Epstein narrative shift; major MAHA wins; unbelievable media concessions about Trump’s first 6 months; the wild and wacky world of unexpected interstellar visitors; much more.
"The Times matters for its place in the narrative washing process. Not the size of readership. At present, the House of Lies still controls “mainstream discourse”. What screen-fed NPCs take as real. We just watched a perfect example - the whole poison roll out and collapse - in real time. Recall how no information from reality-facing non-beast sources could even register. It’s actually astounding to watch these “reveals” play out around stuff we’ve know for years."

"If you think tech culture is inconsistent about who gets canceled, consider Brendan Eich. Eich was the creator of JavaScript and briefly CEO of Mozilla. In 2008, he donated $1,000 to support California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative to ban same-sex marriage. That’s it. No harassment. No misconduct at work. No abuse.
"Fast forward to 2014: Eich was forced to resign under intense pressure from Mozilla staff and the public. The reason? His political donation was “harmful” to the inclusive workplace Mozilla wanted to build. His technical contributions meant nothing. His intentions meant nothing.
"Compare that to Jeremy Bicha, a convicted sexual predator who abused children. Bicha keeps his job, keeps contributing to critical open source projects, and faces zero public accountability.
"This is the reality: your social opinions get you fired. Your crimes get you a free pass."
