The CRJ-700 Takedown in DC

I spent a lot of time reviewing videos and taking screen grabs and it becomes more clear as the wreckage is brought out….and I am amazed they released videos even though they have police escorting the wreckage.

Here is what I have without commentary.

Earthquake / Volcano Alert Continues With Addition of High Electron Flux, Full Moon, and Just Wonky Earth

stock here: Santorini had a VE7 in 1600 BCE

————————————— Mahalo A-Eye

Santorini, a picturesque island in the Aegean Sea, has a rich volcanic history characterized by numerous eruptions that have significantly shaped its landscape and influenced human civilizations. Here’s an overview of its volcanic activity from deep history to the present:

  1. Prehistoric Eruptions: Early Volcanic Activity: Santorini’s volcanic origins date back hundreds of thousands of years, with multiple eruptions leading to the formation and collapse of volcanic cones, creating a complex caldera system.
  2. The Minoan Eruption (~1600 BCE): Magnitude: This catastrophic event is one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history, with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 7.
    Impact: The eruption devastated the Minoan settlement of Akrotiri on Santorini and affected nearby islands and the coast of Crete through earthquakes and tsunamis.
    Consequences: The eruption led to significant cultural and environmental impacts in the Aegean region.
    en.wikipedia.org
  3. Post-Minoan Eruptions: 197 BCE: Volcanic activity began constructing a series of lava domes and flows, forming new islands near the center of the caldera.
    Subsequent Eruptions: Over the centuries, multiple eruptions continued to shape the central islands within the caldera.
  4. Recent Activity: 1950 Eruption: The most recent eruption produced a small lava dome and flow, accompanied by explosive activity.
    volcano.si.edu
    2025 Seismic Activity: In early 2025, Santorini experienced a series of earthquakes, with magnitudes ranging from 3 to 4.9. While no significant damage or injuries were reported, authorities took precautionary measures, including mobilizing rescuers and closing schools. Experts indicated that these tremors were tectonic rather than volcanic in origin.

Scientists Baffled That The Interior of the Earth Is Not Completely Uniform and Can Change Shapes

stock here: from the of Duh, until their is “scientific proof”, shameful, but Mahalo to the Flying Cuttlefish for finding this.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14380671/Scientists-discover-Earth-core-DEFORMED.html

What is odd, is that the 97% consensus is that the earth’s core is solid, and that it is Iron and Nickel. That seems very odd to me, under the highest pressures, I would think it would be more of a plasma mix of many things. Note in picture they keep the sections of earth almost completely uniform, however, they do make the inner core a bit less than spherical.

This shows their earthquake sensing and testing method, kind of.

The CRJ Airplane Tumbled Out Of the Sky Like a Rock

stock here: I made this short and sweet comment online

Watch the video of how the Airplane CRJ just drops like a rock, tumbling out of the sky in a severe downward parabola. How did it go from 140MPH to 30MPH in an instant? Just the collision of the Helo could not do this, the plane was 4 times heavier than the HELO.

So there was additional energy applied to the CRJ. Think about that.

Does the river vary this much in height? How does one reconcile these pictures?

I did a gamma correction so you can see the plane wreckage much better

I want to find more images of the plane wreckage

Federal Elections Commission

stock here: a valid concern, is these entrenched Federal leeches, when they go away….what are they going to do? How could they become part of a productive society.

My response to the AI “support” for this beast of a woman, who has presided over decades of Election abuses and shenanighans was this, the AI support is below.

If as quorum is 4 and there are 5 remaining, then that is just throwing stuff against the wall, and not a valid reason. It seems that if the president appoints them, then they should clearly be able to remove them. If that is not explicitly stated in the founding document, then what does the founding document state about process for removal? It’s seems clear that trumps next move should be to appoint her replacement, she she is serving 17 years past her 2002 6 year term.


First AI response:

The recent attempt by President Donald Trump to remove Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chair Ellen Weintraub has raised significant legal questions regarding the authority and process for dismissing FEC commissioners.

Legal Framework Governing FEC Commissioners:

Appointment and Tenure: The FEC comprises six commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, each serving staggered six-year terms. Commissioners may continue to serve beyond their term's expiration until a successor is confirmed.

Independence of the FEC: Established by the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1974, the FEC is designed as an independent regulatory agency to enforce campaign finance laws. Its structure aims to insulate it from political influence, ensuring impartial oversight of federal elections.

Legal Considerations in Weintraub’s Dismissal:

Lack of Explicit Removal Provisions: The FECA does not explicitly grant the President authority to remove commissioners. This omission suggests that commissioners are intended to operate independently, free from executive branch interference.

Historical Precedent: There is no known instance of a President removing an FEC commissioner prior to the completion of their term. Weintraub, appointed in 2002 and serving beyond her term's expiration in 2007, has remained due to the absence of a confirmed successor.

Legal Challenges: Weintraub contends that her removal is unlawful, stating, "There's nothing in the Federal Election Campaign Act that suggests that that is an option." Legal experts, including former FEC Chair Trevor Potter, have echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that such an action violates the law and undermines the agency's independence.
campaignlegal.org

Implications of the Attempted Removal:

Potential Legal Disputes: This unprecedented move is likely to lead to legal challenges concerning the President's authority to dismiss commissioners of independent agencies.

Operational Impact on the FEC: The FEC requires a quorum of at least four commissioners to conduct official business. Weintraub's removal could jeopardize this quorum, hindering the agency's ability to enforce campaign finance laws effectively.

In summary, the attempt to remove FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub raises complex legal issues about the autonomy of independent regulatory agencies and the extent of presidential authority over such entities.

———————— AI response to my pushback (at top)

The recent attempt by President Donald Trump to remove Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chair Ellen Weintraub has sparked significant legal debate regarding the President’s authority in this context. Let’s delve into the legal framework governing the appointment and removal of FEC commissioners.

Appointment and Tenure of FEC Commissioners:

Appointment Process: FEC commissioners are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, serving staggered six-year terms.
fec.gov

Holdover Provision: According to 52 U.S.C. § 30106(a)(2)(B), commissioners may continue to serve beyond their term's expiration until a successor has been appointed and confirmed.
uscode.house.gov

Removal Process:

Lack of Explicit Removal Provisions: The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) does not explicitly outline a process for the removal of commissioners. This omission has led to differing interpretations regarding the President's authority to dismiss commissioners.

Legal Precedent: In Buckley v. Valeo (1976), the Supreme Court addressed the appointment process of FEC commissioners but did not provide a definitive ruling on the removal process. This leaves the question of removal authority somewhat ambiguous.

Current Situation:

Ellen Weintraub's Tenure: Appointed in 2002, Weintraub's term expired in 2007. She has continued to serve under the holdover provision, as no successor has been confirmed.
fec.gov

President's Attempted Removal: President Trump issued a letter dated January 31, 2025, stating that Weintraub was "hereby removed" from her position. Weintraub has contested this action, asserting that there is a legal process to replace FEC commissioners and that the President's action does not align with it.
businessinsider.com

Legal Considerations:

Independence of the FEC: The FEC is designed to function as an independent regulatory agency, insulated from direct political influence. Allowing unilateral removal by the President could undermine this independence.

Potential for Legal Challenge: Given the lack of explicit statutory guidance, Weintraub's removal could be subject to legal challenges, potentially resulting in a judicial determination of the President's removal authority in this context.

Path Forward:

Nomination of Successor: The President has the authority to nominate a successor for Weintraub. However, the nominee must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming the role. Until such confirmation occurs, Weintraub is legally permitted to continue serving.

In summary, while the President appoints FEC commissioners, the process for their removal is not explicitly defined in the governing statutes, leading to legal ambiguities and potential challenges.

BUCKLEY v. VALEO, 424 U.S. 1 (1976)
fec.gov

In the landmark case Buckley v. Valeo (1976), the U.S. Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of various provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended in 1974. The Court’s decision addressed several key aspects:

Contribution Limits: The Court upheld limits on individual contributions to political campaigns, recognizing the government's interest in preventing corruption and the appearance of corruption.

Expenditure Limits: The Court struck down limits on independent expenditures by individuals and groups, as well as limits on candidate expenditures from personal funds, citing First Amendment concerns.

Disclosure and Reporting Requirements: The Court upheld mandatory disclosure and reporting provisions, emphasizing transparency in the electoral process.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) Appointments: The Court found that the method of appointing members to the FEC, which involved appointments by Congress, violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. This led to changes in how FEC commissioners are appointed, ensuring compliance with constitutional requirements.

Notably, while the Court addressed the appointment process of FEC commissioners, it did not provide a definitive ruling on the process for their removal. This omission has led to ongoing debates regarding the extent of presidential authority in removing FEC commissioners.

What Persons are Outside the Overton Windows of AI — Jonathon Turley

stock here: I have observed AI lying through it’s teeth and making mistakes.

https://realclearwire.com/articles/2025/02/04/whos_afraid_of_jonathan_turley_chatgpt_for_one_152300.html

Turns out it’s an anomaly. As Turley explained recently, he is among a small group of individuals who have been “effectively disappeared by the AI system.” Other GPT-banned names include Harvard’s Jonathan Zittrain, CNBC’s David Faber, and the Australian politician Brian Hood.

The common thread is that AI generated false stories about him and the other banned names. ChatGPT, Turley says, “falsely reported that there had been a claim of sexual harassment against me (which there never was) based on something that supposedly happened on a 2018 trip with law students to Alaska (which never occurred), while I was on the faculty of Georgetown Law (where I have never taught).”

ChatGPT’s solution to misinformation was to simply erase all mention of the names involved. It was an effective, albeit self-defeating, means of combating a real problem – a bit like curing a cancer by killing the patient outright. Today, the chatbot is no longer lying about Jonathan Turley because it is no longer saying anything about him at all.

This misinformation “cure” of disappearing a person completely from the AI universe is an obvious problem. Any student seeking to learn about a pivotal moment in American history (Trump’s impeachment) will not get the whole truth, at least not Turley’s part in it. AI misinformation is a real problem, but this kind of comprehensive censorship is a lazy and disadvantageous solution.

Revisit The DC Helicopter Event — Kinematics

stock here: remember the initial lie / line that an airplane flew into a helicopter?

What has been really odd to me, from the get go, was the way the Plane seemed to lose all forward momentum, and immediately tumbled into the water. Also, the flash was huge. I have reviewed other in air plane crashes and the fire ball / flash is no where that instantaneous or huge. The Helo impacted primarily from the side, so the mass of the Helo impacting the plane would not reduce the forward momentum of the Plane.

So this has been bugging me for quite some time…the weird Airplane “tumble” into the river, a near complete exhaustion of forward momentum.

Energy must have been added in order to reduce the Momentum of the Plane, and to destroy it’s Kinetic Energy of significant 42,327,084 ft-lbf. 42 Million Foot Lbs.

Also, the much lighter Helo “continues” on through, although of course, taken to river pretty quick by gravity

Riddle me this folks, I did the calcs, took a shower and pondered the possibilities that produced these kinematics.

Who can chime in with the answer. Bear in mind the aircraft was split in half and the Helicopter “went through” in one piece.

There is only one answer I can come up with in the span of a shower.

————————————— Kinetic Energy Calc

Kinetic Energy Calculations for CRJ-700 and UH-60 Black Hawk

Given Data

CRJ-700

  • Weight: 64,600 lbs
  • Estimated Landing Speed at 300 feet: 140 MPH (converted to 205.33 feet per second)

UH-60 Black Hawk

  • Weight: 16,120 lbs
  • Speed: 150 MPH (converted to 220 feet per second)

Conversions and Calculations

  • Conversion Factor: 1 slug = 32.174 lbs
  • Mass Calculation:
  • CRJ-700 Mass: ( 64600 \div 32.174 = 2009.69 ) slugs
  • UH-60 Mass: ( 16120 \div 32.174 = 501.2 ) slugs
  • Kinetic Energy Formula: [ KE = rac{1}{2} m v^2 ]
  • Kinetic Energy for CRJ-700:
  • [ KE = 0.5 imes 2009.69 imes (205.33)^2 ]
  • Result: 42,327,084 ft-lbf
  • Kinetic Energy for UH-60 Black Hawk:
  • [ KE = 0.5 imes 501.2 imes (220)^2 ]
  • Result: 12,124,876 ft-lbf

Conclusion

  • The CRJ-700, due to its significantly higher weight, has about 3.5 times more kinetic energy than the UH-60 Black Hawk at these speeds.
  • This highlights the much greater energy involved in a landing or impact scenario for a commercial jet versus a military helicopter.

Beta-Testing Red Light Therapy

stock here: Been on my radar for half a year, finally making some progress. These were pretty cheap on Amazon, $29. The manual is definitely Chinese LOL. I am not sure I can adapt these units to eye improvement, LOL they come with eye blockers like a tanning salon

A-Eye, LOL

via red light therapy, and talk about the wavelengths too
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT

Recent scientific studies have explored the potential of red light therapy to improve eyesight, particularly in mitigating age-related visual decline. This therapy involves exposing the eyes to specific wavelengths of deep red light, which may enhance mitochondrial function in retinal cells.

Key Findings:

Improved Retinal Function: A study by University College London found that a single three-minute exposure to 670-nanometer (nm) deep red light in the morning led to a 17% improvement in color contrast vision among participants. This enhancement persisted for at least a week.
ucl.ac.uk

Mitochondrial Enhancement: The retina's photoreceptor cells, which have high energy demands, experience a decline in mitochondrial function with age. Exposure to long-wavelength red light (650–900 nm) has been shown to improve mitochondrial performance, increasing energy (ATP) production and reducing oxidative stress.
nature.com

Timing of Exposure: The benefits of red light therapy appear to be time-dependent. Morning exposure between 8 AM and 9 AM was effective, while afternoon exposure did not yield significant improvements. This suggests that the therapy's efficacy may be linked to the body's circadian rhythms.
ucl.ac.uk

Mechanism:

Mitochondria in retinal cells absorb specific wavelengths of red light, leading to enhanced energy production. This process helps counteract age-related declines in vision by improving the function of photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision and low-light adaptation.
aao.org

Considerations:

Wavelength Specificity: The therapeutic effects are most pronounced with deep red light around 670 nm. Other wavelengths within the 650–900 nm range may also be beneficial, but 670 nm has been the primary focus in recent studies.
nature.com

Safety and Accessibility: The studies utilized low-power LED devices for light exposure, which are considered safe for retinal health. This non-invasive approach could lead to affordable, home-based therapies for individuals experiencing age-related visual decline.
ucl.ac.uk

While these findings are promising, further research is necessary to fully understand the long-term effects and optimal protocols for red light therapy in vision improvement. Individuals interested in this therapy should consult with eye care professionals before initiating treatment.

Cut USAID Completely and Replace With a Real Organization with 10% It’s $22B Budget, Spend It Wisely

Stock here: what could be we do instead of the $22B to USAID? Say a new department with none of the old perps. $2B budget.

A-Eye sayeth:

If the USAID budget were reduced from $22 billion to $2 billion, the U.S. would have to prioritize aid programs that have the greatest impact and strategic importance. With $2 billion (which is still a large amount), the focus should be on high-return investments that align with both humanitarian goals and U.S. national interests.

  1. Prioritizing Key Aid Areas

A 91% budget cut means aid programs must be laser-focused on areas where:

A small investment yields a massive impact.
U.S. interests are most directly supported.
Other funding sources (private sector, allies, or local governments) can contribute.

Top Priorities for a $2 Billion Budget
Category Proposed Annual Allocation Impact
Disaster Relief & Emergency Aid $600M Fast response to earthquakes, famines, and hurricanes.
Food Security & Agriculture $400M Supporting global food production to prevent mass migration and famine.
Global Health (Vaccination, Malaria, HIV/AIDS) $300M Life-saving medical aid in regions with high mortality rates.
Strategic Alliances & Security Partnerships $300M Aid to key allies (Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine, etc.).
Infrastructure & Clean Water $200M Rural electrification and water projects in friendly nations.
Microfinance & Entrepreneurship $200M Helping people start businesses instead of relying on long-term aid.

  1. Focus on High-Impact, Low-Cost Programs

Instead of spreading aid too thin, funding should go where it matters most:
A. Disaster Relief & Emergency Aid ($600M)

Fast response fund for earthquakes, hurricanes, and conflicts.
Partnerships with Red Cross, World Food Programme (WFP), and Doctors Without Borders.
Only deploy in regions that are geopolitically important or align with U.S. values.

B. Food Security & Agriculture ($400M)

Shift from free food aid to agriculture training and investment.
Example: Instead of shipping food, invest in seeds, irrigation, and training to make regions self-sufficient.

C. Global Health ($300M)

Focus on disease eradication efforts (e.g., malaria, polio, tuberculosis).
Limited vaccine and HIV/AIDS support where U.S. interests align.

D. Strategic Aid to Key Allies ($300M)

Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine, and select NATO partners should receive direct support to counter China and Russia.
Small but targeted investments (cybersecurity, defense, counterterrorism training).

E. Infrastructure & Water ($200M)

Instead of building wasteful projects, focus on small, self-sustaining infrastructure.
Rural electrification, solar, and water purification projects.

F. Microfinance & Entrepreneurship ($200M)

Teach people to build their own businesses, not rely on U.S. aid.
Loans and training for small farmers, shop owners, and tech entrepreneurs.
Example: Support local African entrepreneurs instead of shipping aid.
  1. Cutting Waste & Bureaucracy Eliminate corrupt or ineffective programs.
    Reduce “consultant fees” that eat up aid budgets.
    Use block grants to trusted NGOs instead of heavy government bureaucracy.
    Shift some funding to private charities that operate more efficiently.
  2. Encouraging Private & Allied Contributions

With USAID cut back, U.S. allies and private entities should step up:

NATO & EU nations should increase their global aid spending.
Private charities and corporations can handle non-strategic aid.
Leveraging U.S. businesses (like Tesla, Google, and Microsoft) for tech-based aid solutions.

Conclusion

A $2 billion aid budget—properly allocated—could still support global stability, prevent humanitarian disasters, and serve U.S. interests. By cutting wasteful spending, focusing on self-sufficiency, and shifting some responsibilities to allies and private groups, the U.S. could spend far less while achieving real results.

Not Just the mRNA: Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Serious and Irreversible Neurological, Developmental, and Immune-Related Health Risks

When studies compare vaccinated to unvaccinated children, they find serious and irreversible neurological, developmental, and immune-related health risks. This is likely one of the primary reasons that prevents Big Pharma and our regulatory agencies from conducting such studies — their flawed business model of pushing inadequately tested injections would collapse as parents learn the true risks of vaccination. It’s important to remember that ALL of the routine childhood vaccines were licensed WITHOUT proper long-term, placebo-controlled trials:

“Saints”, the Football Team, Conspire to Help Cover Up Catholic Sex Abuse

stock here: can we call this some disgusting irony?

https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-saints-catholic-church-sex-abuse-77f92deb50e6333fa04a9db1897f8171

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As New Orleans church leaders braced for the fallout from publishing a list of predatory Catholic priests, they turned to an unlikely ally: the front office of the city’s NFL franchise.

What followed was a monthslong, crisis-communications blitz orchestrated by the New Orleans Saints’ president and other top team officials, according to hundreds of internal emails obtained by The Associated Press.

The records, which the Saints and church had long sought to keep out of public view, reveal team executives played a more extensive role than previously known in a public relations campaign to mitigate fallout from the clergy sexual abuse crisis. The emails shed new light on the Saints’ foray into a fraught topic far from the gridiron, a behind-the-scenes effort driven by the team’s devoutly Catholic owner who has long enjoyed a close relationship with the city’s embattled archbishop.

They also showed how various New Orleans institutions — from a sitting federal judge to the local media — rallied around church leaders at a critical moment.

Among the key moments, as revealed in the Saints’ own emails:

The Lear Jet in PA Was Not a Stall. Expert Anaylsis by Juan.

stock here: no voice recorder on this plane, no mayday or pan pan. Craft was 44 years old.

Clearly it was not a stall. Clouds at 400 feet so they were IFR (Instrument Flight Rules). My first thought is that they had a wing half blown off. Explosive charge in middle of wing, middle of fuel tank)

They were going down at 240 MPH nearly vertical at impact.
