WAS KOBE BRYANT A VICTIM OF AN IRANIAN CYBER STRIKE?

The readers of this blog know that the digital electronic avionics systems and other industrial controls made by Honeywell et al are compromised. Kobe, his daughter and seven other people who perished on the Sikorsky S-76 were flying in a helicopter that used Honeywell's avionics suite. The helicopter was manufactured in 1991 a period of time when avionics manufacturer Honeywell was targeted by Russian agents according to GRU Col. Lunev [8].  

For example - the helicopter has a Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) [4]. Why did it not work? And the pilot must have been good to be shuttling VIP's. So, what happened? I suspect that the authorities will cover it up and blame the pilot or more nebulously the foggy weather. And, let's not forget that just 12 days earlier a Boeing 777-200 that also utilizes a Honeywell avionics system had an incident involving its engines. And, just three days before that in Tel-Aviv a Boeing 737-800 that also uses Honeywell avionics had an incident involving it's engines occurred.

The chopper had an excellent safety history. The pilot was instrument rated and was flying under SVFR meaning that he was being controlled by the ground. Eyewitnesses on the ground reported hearing engine trouble. If this was a cyber attack, then it was the third attempt at bring down an aircraft by destroying an engine and it succeeded. 

This could very well be an Iranian cyber strike on these avionics systems. This is something like what happened on 911 when Boeing planes were electronically hijacked via compromised avionics. The Iranians or others could just be looking for high profile beloved Americans to kill who are soft targets.

This is what we are looking at now. The loss of Bryant is having a similar emotional effect on Americans that the loss of Qasem Soleimani has had on the Iranians. And the attacks also share a nearly identical number of casualties. Ten died in the attack on Soleimani and nine died in the Bryant crash. So, there is parity in terms of casualties and a similar emotional wound has been inflicted on America. 

Lastly, this could be Iran sending a message to Trump. Because he too owns the same kind of helicopter. So, there is a psychological warfare aspect this as well. So, the choice of killing Kobe and his daughter at the same time is also a message. Trump and his daughter  used to fly on his Sikorsky all the time. In fact Ivanka had an incident on the their helicopter back in 2018.

NOTES:
(1) The S-76C+ was produced until December 2005. It is equipped with twin Turbomeca Arriel 2S1 engines with FADEC and a Honeywell EFIS suite.[6] This version incorporates active noise suppression, vibration dampers and a composite main rotor. On January 3, 2006, the S-76 C++ replaced earlier versions in production. It is powered by two Turbomeca Arriel 2S2 engines and incorporates an improved and quieter transmission as well as minor changes in the interior equipment and avionics. There were 92 orders for this model as of January 2006.

(2) Since certification in 1983, Honeywell's Digital Automatic Flight Control Systems (DAFCS) for helicopters have become the standard against which all other systems are judged. The number of variations installed in over a thousand Bell, Eurocopter, Sikorsky, and Mil/Kazan helicopters is evidence of this.


In addition to their four-axis capability, these systems also introduced built-in-test (BIT) and self-diagnostics never before seen in a helicopter AFCS. But what do you do when the system can't tell you what's wrong? Having some basic knowledge about these sophisticated systems and some idea of what to ask the flight crew, or yourself when problems arise can save many hours of troubleshooting and thousands of dollars wasted on replacing the wrong component.

On February 7, 1996, President Yeltsin ordered that industrial espionage become the top priority for Russian intelligence agencies. And the GRU is now putting all its efforts into recruiting agents from companies like Northrup, Gruman, GE, Honeywell, IBM, Microsoft, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, and countless others.

WAS TURNING IRAN INTO AN ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST STATE PART OF AMERICA'S 1970'S BEAR TRAP STRATEGY?

This interview gets interesting when Wilkerson talks about the Pentagon's contingency planning to stop an expected Soviet Invasion of Iran in the late 1970's. or early 1980's. They expected them to go to all the way to the sea to warm water ports in the Indian Ocean. It could be that the U.S. put Khomeini into power as part of their "Bear Trap" strategy that used Islamic Fundamentalist proxies to destabilize the underbelly i.e. the Islamic Central Asian Republics of the Soviet Union. The Soviets were smart though and did not take the bait. 

DOUBLING DOWN ON BUCK ROGERS DESPITE IT'S FAILURE ON 911

It looks like the Pentagon has timed it's latest assassination to coincide with the last SpaceX launch. The US military is attempting to re-establish a communications ability that will allow them to fight WW3 from the air. In their attempt to do this the Pentagon has enlisted Elon Musk who arguably is one of the world's leading encryption specialists. He is rumored to be the brains behind bitcoin and it is well known that he helped to revolutionize e-commerce with PayPal. The Trillion dollar question is will it work? 

Articles are now circulating that look to be veiled threats on the life of Vladimir Putin. So, it looks like the American Ruling Class now feels confident in their ability to run WW3 from the air. They might even try to assassinate Putin again. This time with a drone. If it does happen we know who helped make it happen. The ultra-wealthy are rolling the dice again with all our lives. Everyone travelling on spaceship Earth is going to die. The ways things are going it is looking like for many of us it will be in a nuclear conflagration. 

30 July 2022

I have since learned that Elon Musk has invented nothing. He is an expert in nothing. He is just a rich guy who bet on the right companies. He bought the right assets and capitalized on it. That said the companies he bought have the expertise that the Pentagon needs. His company Starlink is being used in Ukraine to great effect.

THE DOWNING OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA WAS REVENGE FOR THE MOSCOW THEATER HOSTAGE CRISIS

The Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis took place under the cover of the return of Apollo-12. The return of Apollo-12, made public in a 11 September 2002 article in the Guardian Newspaper was timed in an manner to let the Russians know it was there about a month before the attack on the theater. The attack was timed to coincide with the APEC summit meeting in Mexico. It was meant to embarrass Putin before the meeting.

Apollo 12 was there as a veiled threat or not so veiled threat aimed at the Russians. The downing of the Space Shuttle Columbia shows that the doomsday plan of escaping into space to fight WW3 might not work.  

There were secret payloads in the Apollo Missions. The American Military used the S-IVB's to build the Integrated Manned nuclear shuttle and spaceship system. The Apollo Program was a cover to build the Integrated Manned System.    

"In America, a 'super shuttle' has been designed that could take off like a conventional plane, fly to a high altitude and then, if necessary, boost itself into orbit - on board would be the Commander-in-Chief, the President." (Lee 10-11)

THE CHEMICALLY FUELED BLACKBIRD WAS A RIDICULOUS PLANE.

The dangers of in-air-refueling, operating costs, range and mission limitations of a chemically fueled Blackbird are utterly absurd. So, absurd that a nuclear powered bird is the only thing makes sense. 

JP-7 cost as much as an expensive single malt whisky (Darling) [1] [2].  Single malt whisky prices run from $100 to $100,000 a fifth [3]. If one conservatively assumes a price of $200 for a fifth, then the price per gallon is $1000 in 2019 dollars. Using the CPI the cost of JP-7 in 1965 would have been about $123.18 per gallon [5]. I could not find 1965 price information for single malt scotch whisky. This reverse approximation is reasonable.     

A Blackbird tank held 12,219.2 gallons of JP-7 and, in 1965 dollars cost approximately $1,505,161. Without aerial refueling the Blackbird had a range of 2000 nautical miles. Missions often went over 12,000 nautical miles (Graham 38). Therefore based on a lower bound cost assumption for JP-7, a Blackbird mission of this length would have cost $9,030,966 in 1965 dollars. Or approximately the cost of 5 F-4 Phantom II's [4]. Or ten times the amount it cost to fill the 3 million gallon tank of a Nimitz class carrier. 

The supposed per unit airframe cost of the program was 34 million dollars. So, in as little as 3 missions the cost of the airframe would have been exceeded. If a Blackbird ran two missions per month then the yearly fuel cost of a single Blackbird was $216,743,192.06 or six times the cost of the airframe. The fuel cost for all 32 SR-71's was roughly 7 BILLION dollars per year in 1965 dollars. That's roughly 2% of the U.S. Defense Budget for 1965 [7] going to fuel the Blackbird. The 7 BILLION dollar figure is close to the 8 BILLION dollar cost given for Project PLUTO (Dewar 65) [8].

NOTES:
From source 1.
The JP-7 jet fuel is interesting in its own right: originally developed for the A-12 Oxcart plane in the late 1950s, it has an extremely high flashpoint to cope with the heat, to the extent that a match dropped in a bucket of JP-7 does not ignite it. The fuel also contains fluorocarbons to increase its lubricity, an oxidizing agent to enable it to burn in the engines, and even a cesium compound, A-50, which disguises the exhaust's radar signature. As a result, JP-7 is said to be more expensive than malt Scotch whisky, which gives some idea of how much a single SR-71 mission would have cost.

With only a 2000NMI or 2300 mile range the Blackbird that means the Blackbird only had an hour of useful flying time. The chemically powered plane is useless.   

Russia's foreign policy goal is to create a multipolar world.
The 911 attack on the WTC was an attack on the key symbols of the unipolar American world order. The attack is in line with the Russian goal of creating a multipolar world. Therefore the attack was in line with Russian foreign policy goals.

THE ODDS

Chance that (19 April 1995) the Oklahoma City Bombing  [1] will fall on the 2-year anniversary  (19 April 1993) of Dudayev [2] declaring himself dictator equals 730 to 1. 1/730.

Chance that the (15 June 1996) Manchester Bombing [3] will fall on the anniversary of the (14-19 June 1995) Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis [4] equals 61 to 1. 1/61. 

Chance that the (07 August 1998) African Embassy Bombings [5] would fall on the 2-year anniversary (06-20 August 1996)  of the Battle of Grozny [6] equals 49 to 1. 1/49

Chances that 9-11 would fall on the 2-year anniversary (04-16 September 1999) of the Moscow Apartment Bombings [7] equals 56 to 1. 1/56

The chance of all these incidents occurring on these dates are  122,190,320 to 1. 1/122,190,320 
This is about the same odds of winning the lottery. [8] 

Chance that WTC North Tower would explode the same time the Kursk was torpedoed 17,280 to 1. 1/17,280 

The chances of WTC North Tower collapsing same time as Kursk in addition to the other instances 2,111,448,729,600 to 1. 

1/2,111,448,729,600 

At over two trillion to one odds your chances of winning the Mega Millions Lottery is much better [8].

NOTES: 

The wiki page for the American sinking of the Kursk lists the time for the torpedoing of the Kursk at 11:29:34 a.m. - 11:31:48 a.m.. The Kursk was sunk off the coast of Murmansk, where the time is 3+ GMT. The original U.S. Navy report, as reported on CNN, for the torpedoing of the Kursk was 07:28:26 am GMT and 07:30:42 GMT. Which means that the Kursk was torpedoed at 10:28:26 Murmansk or Moscow time. So, who is putting disinformation on the wikipage?

The North Tower goes down at 10:28:22 a.m. EST. The Kursk is sunk at 10:28:26 a.m. Murmansk local time. Which means these events took place in the same five second interval of a twenty-four hour day. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. There are 17,280 five second intervals in a day because 86,400 divided by 5 equals 17,280. There was only a 1 in 17,280 chance of the North Tower being imploded at this time. The implosion of the North Tower at this time was not an accident. It was deliberate. Another interesting fact about the 911 attacks is that they took place on the two year anniversary of the Moscow Apartment bombings. These bombings, utilizing time bombs, were attributed to Chechen terrorists. The destruction of the WTC was a retaliatory time-bombing for the time-bombs the USA set off in Moscow two years prior. The North Tower was chosen because it symbolizes the North Pole and the Kursk was sunk near the North Pole.
