During remarks this week, #Trump said he wanted to “pay tribute” to a person he very much respected.
Trump thanked #TomHoman, who served as acting director of #ICE during Trump’s admin [Trump loved “acting” posts bc they aren’t subject to congressional confirmation] & has since been a frequent commentator on #FauxNews.
#HavanaSyndrome evidence suggests who may be responsible for mysterious #brain injuries >>>
At the time of their injuries, most #Americans targeted were high-level analysts or agents working on investigations related to #Russia. US #diplomats and #intelligence officers who work abroad are being removed from service with #TraumaticBrainInjuries, and during last year's #NATO summit, a high-level #DoD official was struck.
RUSSIAN JAMMING & Spoofing Is Threatening Civil Aviation.
A surge in spoofing is intentionally throwing onboard navigation systems off.
Report of instances of onboard navigation systems being overtaken by fake GPS signals, sometimes showing them to be hundreds of miles off course. This resulted in a “complete loss of navigational capability,” which in some instances forced crews to rely on verbal directions from air traffic controllers, according to OpsGroup, a membership organization for pilots and flight dispatchers. Aircraft of all sizes have been affected, including small business jets and large Boeing 777s.
YOUR PLANE CRASHES because of Putin's terrorist Army.
In spoofing incidents, false signals are broadcast that cause an aircraft’s electronic equipment to calculate incorrect positions and provide erroneous guidance—essentially tricking the aircraft’s GPS receiver into thinking it is somewhere it is not.

#AI#AIWarfare#USA#ProjectMaven#DoD: "Less than four years after that milestone, America’s use of AI in warfare is no longer theoretical. In the past several weeks, computer vision algorithms that form part of the US Department of Defense’s flagship AI effort, Project Maven, have located rocket launchers in Yemen and surface vessels in the Red Sea, and helped narrow targets for strikes in Iraq and Syria, according to Schuyler Moore, the chief technology officer of US Central Command. The US isn’t the only country making this leap: Israel’s military has said it’s using AI to make targeting recommendations in Gaza, and Ukraine is employing AI software in its effort to turn back Russia's invasion.
Navigating AI’s transition from the laboratory into combat is one of the thorniest issues facing military leaders. Advocates for its rapid adoption are convinced that combat will soon take place at a speed faster than the human brain can follow. But technologists fret that the American military’s networks and data aren’t yet good enough to cope; frontline troops are reluctant to entrust their lives to software they aren’t sure works; and ethicists worry about the dystopian prospect of leaving potentially fatal decisions to machines. Meanwhile, some in Congress and hawkish think tanks are pushing the Pentagon to move faster, alarmed that the US could be falling behind China, which has a national strategy to become “the world’s primary AI innovation center” by 2030."
Carry On actor Peter Butterworth (#DOD 1979) was POW in Stalag Luft III who vaulted the wooden horse while escape tunnel was being dug beneath it. After war he went for a part in the movie of the famous escape (3 home runs) and was told he didn’t look athletic or heroic enough.
