Army 2019 Expo in Moscow
At 1 min 15 seconds there is a segment on virtual reality combat training. I have some amusing ideas about augmented reality combat training that could be used to test, say, Russian and US forces against each other, using actual weaponry and live munitions. (hint: see Exact Location of US Drone Shot Down is a Scientific Question, and talk to Andrew Moody about the shooting game I wrote in 1982 or thereabouts, that runs in two BBC Model B micros connected by their RS432 serial ports.) Of course, you need secure communications to do this safely. So please, just get me out of this stupid fucking jail I'm in!
See also US Made Lockheed Martin/Raytheon "Javelin" Anti Tank Missiles Supplied to UAE End Up in Libya and Putin's ideas about nuclear weapons strategic arms limitation in the third video on FT Editor Lionel Barber Interviews Vladimir Putin. At 2 minutes here: the way to do global arms limitation is for the major powers to cooperate in producing defensive systems. Systems like the Russian s-series air defence systems, see US Sends "dozens" of F22 "Raptor" Fighter Jets to Qatar. The same principle extends to space and cyber defence. See NATO Want To Fight Russians in Space and Putin on Sovereign Internet. And this shows that the reason Theresa May hates Putin is because Putin understands the business value of peace.

The problem with arms control regulations is that, in a war zone, there is typically nobody around who is in a position to enforce them.
There are, needless to say, effective and practical technical solutions to this problem, which could have been developed decades ago. But that, presumably, was not in the interests of people like Philip May, who want Raytheon and Lockheed Martin to sell as many weapons as possible. See Army 2019 Expo in Moscow.

Putin's Response to Theresa May
Theresa May's problem is that she is incapable of behaving reasonably. This is a consequence of the UK Government being riven by internal contradictions by the need to maintain centuries of lies and corruption which have effectively taken control of the whole of the British establishment. They are all, quite literally, insane. And the problem is that nobody over there is prepared to admit this and actually do something about it. See UK Justice and British Empire in China.
May's response to Corbyn at 2 mins 17 secs is a good example of the problem. You don't make progress by responding to criticism with criticism of the critic.
See Theresa May Proving She Is A Useless Fucking Idiot. At 5 mins 20 secs there is a discussion of how Ahmed Alshami came to be called a Houthi representative. The situation in Yemen is far, far more complex than any such simple-minded classifacation like this can characterise. And on "anti-semitism", the explanation, I think, lies here: UK Government Don't Even Bother Trying To Pretend They Give A Shit Anymore.
I did some fairly extensive investigations into this in the six months or so before April 2019, but they are all in Google G+ posts and I don't have any practical way to search this data. This is because I am being denied access to the resources I need to be able to work, and the British FCO are one of the organizations that are denying me this, along with other basic human rights, because they think that things will go better for them if I am unable to work. They are sorely mistaken. Things are going to go very, very badly for them. And that is a promise! see Iran False Flags and Yemen War is NOT Solely British and Kushner and Bannon Knew About the Qatar Blockade Two Days Before it Happpened.

Boeing 737 MAX Debacle Continues
This is a very detailed reproduction on a graphical flight simulator program of the Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX crash. It seems to have been produced using some data from the black box flight recorders. A significant factor in the crash is the fact that the aircraft was flying overspeed at several points.
Recently issues have been raised about the speed at which pilots can affect a recovery in certain conditions being limited by the system's overall response time to changes in trim controls.
The flight control system is made up of a large number of interoperating subsystems. This diagram shows some of those directly involved in trim adjustment, but these are not all of them.
Other links exist between the subsystems such as the Auto Throttle and the Autopilot, mediated by the Air Data Computer, which integrates Air Speed and Angle of Attack sensor data for input to the Auto Throttle, for example, which in certain modes adjusts engine thrust to maintain a constant air speed. From https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-airplane-procedures-explaine/explainer-ethiopia-crash-raises-questions-over-handling-of-faults-on-boeing-737-max-idUSKCN1RG2PP
I am not going to to say any more on this while I am left starving on the street. See update here: Another Boeing 737 MAX Problem which is actually this problem, but some people seem to think that this is a software bug. See also this post which raises another issue with the 737 MAX 8. Al Jazeera Investigating the Boeing 767 crash in 1999.

The 737’s air data computer also uses angle-of-attack (AOA) information to adjust airspeed readings. If it mistakenly thinks the angle of attack is high, it can trigger pilot warnings that airspeed and altitude data are unreliable on one of the pilot’s controls, according to former Boeing engineer Peter Lemme.In addition to these direct electronic links between subsystems there are physical couplings through the airframe, engines and control surfaces, through which the various electronic subsystems respond to and influence each other's operation. These coupling's effects are a significant factor in the pilots' everyday experience of flying the aircraft. One such example is called Pitch Coupling. From http://www.flaps2approach.com/journal/2014/9/2/b737-autothrottle-at-normal-and-non-normal-operations.html
The autothrottle is designed to operate in conjunction with the autopilot, to produce a consistent aircraft pitch under normal flight conditions. If the autopilot is disengaged but the autothrottle remains engaged, pitch coupling may develop.
Pitch coupling is when the autothrottle system actively attempts to maintain thrust based on the pitch/attitude of the aircraft. It occurs when the autopilot is not engaged and manual inputs (pitch and roll) are used to control the aircraft.The systemic failure in Boeing's whole engineering operation is the failure to properly integrate the design and testing of these numerous interdependent electronic and mechanical subsystems. The 737 MAX 8 MCAS failure is just one symptom of a much more fundamental problem, which very likely affects all modern aircraft manufacturers. It's the same problem NASA engineers had with the Space Shuttle programme.

Samurai Code of G20
1 min 55 secs. "When the G20 first met in 2008, the goal of the leaders was to come up with a common solution to save the world economy during the crisis. But over time, thanks to certain countries, the problems have only grown in number. If we compare this to Samurai culture, instead of taking the sword and cutting the knot of economic problems, the economy performed ritual harikiri." 😂 I am not sure about this analogy. I think it was just that they didn't have the guts for harikiri, so they just sat around drinking saki and wailing and blubbing for eleven years.

Kushner and Bannon Knew About the Qatar Blockade Two Days Before it Happpened
The Qatar blockade was sparked by an Internet hack into Al Jazeera computers on 23 May 2017. But on 20 May, the same moment Trump was supposed to have been meeting in Riyadh with Arab leaders to discuss international anti-terrorism policy, Kushner and Bannon had a meeting in Washington DC with "rulers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE." Then Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had no knowledge of this at the time. This explains the White House's deeply confused immediate response, where it seemed that they were unaware of the presence of the US CENTCOM anti-terrorism base in Dohar, Qatar.
Rex Tillerson was a former ExxonMobil CEO and was involved in Exxon's business in Yemen.
Rex Tillerson was a former ExxonMobil CEO and was involved in Exxon's business in Yemen.

Tillerson approved Exxon negotiating a multibillion-dollar deal with the government of Iraqi Kurdistan, despite opposition from President Barack Obama and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, both of whom argued it would increase regional instability.It seems highly likely that Tillerson has close ties to Bush and The Hunt Oil Company. See Iran False Flags. So quite why Trump chose him as Secretary of State is not clear.

And the single most important tool for making organic decisions is secure communications. See Blueprint For Progressive Democrats.

High Speed Trading and Fake Data Can Be Used To Manipulate Markets
Coordinated responses to certain types of input data can be used to give certain people a means to manipulate markets through mass media. These two events show that some systems respond much more predictably than others. It seems here that New Zealand traders were not so well-coordinated as Wall St traders. So in the next financial crisis, expect heavy losses in regions where traders do not yet have enough experience to control the markets.

See this essay On The Difference, or Not, Between 0° and 360°, in particular the last paragraph on page eight, which starts like this:
Now consider how one could translate the time and location of an event in, say October 1962, reported by a Soviet submarine via a relay station to Moscow into the co-ordinate system used by the United States Navy. There was no GPS system at that time and the Soviet and US military each used different co-ordinate systems with different geodes to model so-called ‘spheroidal oblation’ in their maps. What empirical measurement can one make to establish the correspondence? There is no empirical measurement one can make of the relative offset between two different co-ordinate systems or geodes. As far as one is concerned, the other point may be 750 m away at a heading of 10◦, and 10 m below sea level. The other may regard the offset to be 13 feet above sea level and two miles away on a heading of 185◦. The reason such discrepancies are possible is that each system uses a different datum and they are typically thousands of km apart, and one cannot make any empirical measurement at two different locations at the same time. ...At 32 seconds, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan "... the evidence has to be clear, precise and scientific, ..."

Putin on British Democracy and the Russian far East
He thinks it a bit weird, but is willing to work constructively with any head of state whom the Conservative Party elect. He also talks about Russia's plans to develop the far East and the Arctic.

See Andrés Lima salda "una deuda personal" con 'Shock' sobre el neoliberalismo y Pinochet en forma de teatro documental
En este sentido, para Lima la obra es "una deuda personal por contar" el momento en el que Augusto Pinochet asciende al poder. "QuerÃa que estos hechos pasaran al escenario en forma de emoción y que la gente sienta qué sucedió en la Casa de la Moneda el 11 de septiembre de 1973, entender cómo se dan las conversaciones entre Kissinger y Nixon para planear el golpe de Estado", ha añadido Lima, a quien el tema le ha rondado la cabeza desde los 15 años, cuando le impactó el asesinato del músico comunista VÃctor Jara.
Recuerdo bien el golpe de Estado porque en la época de transición se adquirÃa una conciencia polÃtica muy temprana y me impresionó aquella intervención militar, la tortura y muerte de Jara", ha indicado.From Victor Jara
After the coup, Pinochet’s soldiers rounded up Chileans who were believed to be involved with leftist groups, including Allende’s Popular Unity party. On the morning of 12 September 1973, Jara was taken prisoner, along with thousands of others, and interned in Chile Stadium. The guards there tortured him, smashing his hands and fingers, and then mocked him by asking him to play the guitar. Soon after, he was killed with a gunshot to the head, and his body was riddled with more than 40 bullets.See also Heinz Buttkissinger, and for another 30,000 people massacred as a direct result of Kissinger's treacherous "diplomacy", see Kissinger's Diplomacy in Rhodesia.

Zimbabwe Tobacco Auctions in The Year 2000
In 2000 Zimbabwe produced one third of all the tobacco consumed worldwide. All of it was sold in auctions like this.
And it is the considerable foreign exchange produced by this export crop which allowed Rhodesia, in the 1960s and '70s, to achieve a level of economic self-sufficiency as good as that of any country in Africa, including South Africa. This is the wealth that lay behind the lifestyles of the middle-class white population you see here. At the time this was filmed, the only issue the press were interested in was black-white inequality. See Kissinger's Diplomacy in Rhodesia.

Heaviest Shelling in Donbass Since 2015
Some ceasefire that turned out to be! I think somebody is very worried about something the people in the DPR know.
Or perhaps it can be excused as exuberance, because now they will have no shortage of armaments and ammunition for the foreseeable future, especially if Joe Biden becomes US President. This is what Biden plans for Georgia, too.

G20 Opening Ceremony Music Suggestion
For the Knights of St. John, the Christ Makers (see Daniel Estulin on Bilderberg) show us that you too, "triumph at all times, even in deepest humiliation".
And for your last night disco, you could do worse than Deep Purple, Burn:
People who think Greta Thunberg is a pawn being manipulated by globalist corporate interests are taking an utterly ridiculous posture that they are going to have to try to support, and that will make them seem all the more ludicrous. Where will this end?
We can take our responsibilities as the only sapient species seriously, and start learning how to make the earth a better place for all forms of life, but in order to do that we need to rid ourselves of the rigid restrictions on economic and technological developent which prevent industry and society developing the capacity to adapt efficiently to changing conditions. The most important and dynamic of all conditions being the state of actual human knowledge. See Climate Action.
This requires nothing short of a revolution in higher education.

Yanghee Lee on Why Universal Access to Secure Communications is a Fundamental Human Right
Lee is the UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar. The government has cut off Internet and cellphone access is certain regions, which means that the population there have no way to let anyone outside know what is actually happening there.
So the senior executives of so-called "tech giants" should be very clear that by denying people like me the rights to develop secure communications technology for all, they are complicit in massive, gross abuses of human rights all over the world, which have resulted in the deaths of millions.

Daniel Estulin on Bilderberg
Mentions its origins in 12th Century Europe and the "Venetian Black Nobility". Mainly seems to be various groups of arse-bandits on horseback, wearing tights.
Estulin says there are none in China or Russia, but that seems very unlikely: they are everywhere like a plague of fucking rats. See British Empire in China and Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller. See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_John_(Bailiwick_of_Brandenburg)#Order_of_Saint_John_in_the_Netherlands, as well as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_John_(Bailiwick_of_Brandenburg) and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_St_John_in_Sweden. This is where you look if you want to find out about Wellington's deal with Napoleon after Waterloo, and numerous other gross injustices commited over fucking centuries of corruption: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller.
At 2 mins 30 secs Estulin says that Iran is not a real issue, but that is very unlikely. Iran was effectively a colony run by Burmah Oil Company, or Anglo Persian Oil Company, until Mossadeq's election, but in the 1953 coup d'etat when the Shah of Iran took control the arse-bandits on horseback got a foothold there too. The Shah regarded himself as being the latter-day king of the Persian Empire, see Persepolis and the Persian Empire .
The MEK have turned about like a playground roundabout. From this November 2018 Guardian article Terrorists, cultists – or champions of Iranian democracy? The wild wild story of the MEK:

The MEK have turned about like a playground roundabout. From this November 2018 Guardian article Terrorists, cultists – or champions of Iranian democracy? The wild wild story of the MEK:
Widely regarded as a cult, the MEK was once designated as a terrorist organisation by the US and UK, but its opposition to the Iranian government has now earned it the support of powerful hawks in the Trump administration, including national security adviser John Bolton and the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.
...
The MEK grew out of Iran’s Liberation Movement, an Islamic-democratic “loyal opposition” established in 1961 by the supporters of Mohammad Mossadegh, the prime minister ousted in a 1953 coup orchestrated by Britain and the US. The movement called for national sovereignty, freedom of political activity and the separation of mosque and state
...
Of the 11 members of the MEK central committee tried in 1972, nine were immediately executed and one remained in jail. When Rajavi emerged from prison in 1979, three weeks before the Iranian revolution, he was the undisputed leader of Iran’s most deadly underground rebel group.
...
The MEK played an important role in the 1979 revolution, seizing the imperial palace and doing much of the fighting to neutralise the police and the army. Two days after the revolution, Massoud Rajavi, who was 30, met the 77-year-old supreme leader. The two did not hit it off. “I met Khomeini,” Rajavi told a journalist in 1981. “He held out his hand for me to kiss, and I refused. Since then, we’ve been enemies.”What is the solution? Education.

Ethiopian Coup Attempt
Suggestions that this recent coup attempt was connected to a 2009 plot.
From this DW report: Ethiopia: What we know so far about the 'foiled coup':
From this DW report: Ethiopia: What we know so far about the 'foiled coup':
The now deceased General Asaminew Tsige, on the other hand, who the government believes was behind the attack had more reasons to be thankful to Abiy than to attack his government. In a wave of prisoner releases by Abiy, Asaminew was set free after nine years in prison and had now served as the head of the Amhara region's security forces. Former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi had arrested the former Brigadier General in the Ethiopian airforce for allegedly planning a coup in 2009.Back in 2009 allegations were made that a coup was plotted by an Ethopian-American Economics Professor. From this NY Post article of April 2009: Ethiopia: PA Prof Led Coup Plot
The Ethiopian government has arrested 35 people suspected of a coup attempt allegedly backed by an Ethiopian-American economist now teaching at a Pennsylvania university, an Ethiopian government spokesman said Saturday.From this Reuters Blog post dated May 2009 What is the truth behind Ethiopia’s “coup” plot?
The story broke two weeks ago when the government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said 40 men had been arrested for planning a coup after police found guns, bombs and “written strategies” at their homes. But a few days later the government communication office was asking journalists not to use the word coup anymore. The “desperados”, they said, had planned to “overthrow” the government by using assassinations and bombings to create enough chaos to get supporters on the streets to topple the government.Sounds like a CIA S.A.D. recycled game plan, to me, ....
