A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND MESSAGES: THAT WEIRD USAF CRASH IN ...

A few days ago, as I was taking care of some household chores, I was listening to the radio, as I often do (it's marginally more tolerable than the dreck on cable tv), and a new story ran about President Obama addressed the U.S. Air Force Academy of graduating cadets. There were the usual cuts of Mr. Obama's various remarks to the assembly, which were in the main very gracious and apposite to the occasion. At one juncture he even quipped how much he is going to miss Air Force One, and said some kind things about the Air Force crews he had worked with during the past two terms of his Administration.

This story then turned to yet another story, about how one of the Air Force's elite Thunderbirds had crashed during Mr. Obama's speech, or shortly thereafter, with the pilot having to eject(which he did, safely). This little news item, dropped in as it were into an otherwise prosaic explanation and review of Mr. Obama's remarks, sent my Suspicion Meter into the "Moderately Suspicious/Unusual Coincidence" zone (that would be the light yellow zone right next to the green zone, for all you conspiracy theory debunkers who don't own a Suspicion Meter, or have one of those cheap models which only registers in the green zone, all the time, no matter what. These meters, it should be known, are CIA surplus models sold to the general public in the wake of the JFK assassination non-conspiracy).

I didn't think much more about it, went about my third load of laundry, and my suspicion meter gradually dropped back into the green zone...

... that is, until I received the following email, with its telltale picture, from Mr. R.P.:

Now, if one pauses to look at that picture of the supposedly crashed Thunderbird jet, what we're seeing definitely is an aircraft, downed in a field somewhere, presumably off the end of the runway (with the skid marks through the field noticeable in the picture), and a jet otherwise remarkably undamaged, with a slightly crumpled up nose. We're informed in the article itself that the pilot, Major Alex Turner, was indeed on final approach for landing, and that his landing gear was down, and this means he may have been flying at a velocity of at least 100 knots, if not more, and that his altitude was comparatively low, though were are not informed at what altitude it is estimated that he ejected. Many airplanes skid off of runways, and look relatively undamaged, but the pointis there is damage, and we see so little here.

So my suspicion meter is at least in the orange zone. As Mr. R.P. put it in his email to me, might we be looking at evidence of a remotely controlled airplane? The pilot's remarks in this respect indicate he was trying to direct the aircraft away from homes, and this might be taken to imply he was having some sort of difficulty with the control of the aircraft. Oddly, the Denver Post article ends by noting that the good condition of the aircraft was a testimony to Major Turner's piloting skill (he is, after all, a member of an elite flying team).

Now I find this all rather difficult to believe, for as Mr. R.P. also pointed ou in his email, this plane came down in this fashion after the pilot had supposedly ejected. Apparently. Major Turner was such a good pilot he was able to control the aircraft and bring it down in such good condition after he had ejected from it!

Then an Air Force Thunderbird jet comes down in relatively good condition after the pilot reports remarkably unspecified trouble. Reall? We're to believe Major Turner radioed the tower and simply said I'm having unspecified trouble with the aircraft and left it at that, and not "ive lost hydraulics" or "I have a flame out" or at least something more specific? Though my suspicion meter is not in the red zone on this one, it's not in the green zone either, and it looks to me like someone is sending a little message to Mr. Obama to stay on the reservation. In a political (s)election cycle that has constant and increasing focus on Hillary's email problems, on Mr. Trump's taxes, and on the Clinton Foundation's activities, one just has to wonder- if this was a message - just who was sending it...

On the other hand, of course, this could be just a coincidence, and there's nothing at all going on here.

But of course, this is one of those "you tell me" sorts of things.

See you on the flip side...

    Another incident involving F-16 fighter jets occurred on Tuesday in Georgia. During routine night operations by the South Carolina Air National Guard, 2 jets collided. Fortunately the pilots ejected safely. They were were flying over a military-operating area at the time. The USAF is investigating … (NBC News June 8th)

    6/6. Today’s date and the 72nd anniversary of D-Day.



  3. 8thdegreeofj on June 5, 2016 at 8:46 pm

    In his recent interview with the Dark Journalist, Dr Farrell mentions a curious “witness” at the Pentagon on 9/11. This man who gave a detailed account of what he “saw” to media and investigators. It also turns out that he was connected to a company specializing in remote-operation technologies for the aviation industry.

    Would love to know where that fellow was on the day these Navy jets came down. I’m just sayin…



    • zendogbreath on June 5, 2016 at 10:06 pm

      he’s probably gone for all intents. oligarchs aren’t gonna risk him moving to canada and having a son run for president, fail and elbow his wife in the face during his failure speech

      besides, there’s so many more knuckleheads with that skillset, he’s way retired by now



  4. goshawks on June 5, 2016 at 5:15 am

    I was reviewing the F-16 photo over at j stone. Putting on my aero engineering hat for a moment, it looks like the fighter had a power loss, the pilot ejected, and the autopilot stayed on.

    A few years back, the Air Force did an upgrade on the F-16’s autopilot to prevent piloted flight into terrain. It was supposed to automatically pull-up when a plane was projected to run into a cliff, for example.

    In this case, the enhanced autopilot would have noticed the ground approaching and countered by increasing the F-16’s angle-of-attack. The software is intelligent enough to not stall the aircraft, so the angle-of-attack would have gradually increased to maximum.

    The F-16 would have hit the ground almost like a ‘normal’ dead-stick (unpowered) landing. Probably gear-up. The nose would have been maximally-elevated, so the aircraft hit tail-first and slammed the nose down. This accounts for the break-off of the nose section in front of the air inlet.

    So, the big question is whether the loss of power was ordinary wear-and-tear, or due to the equivalent of StuxNet…



    • zendogbreath on June 5, 2016 at 10:02 pm

      nice. can’t ya picture some kid standing nearby playing with his rc aircraft and seeing this happen. then looking at his own hands and back at the f-16? alright so i had a montypython moment there. reasons to not be seen.



  5. Freefall on June 5, 2016 at 3:07 am

    Oh My !! .. This one is absolutely LOADED with all kinds of messages … A Thunderbird AND a Blue Angel on the same day at the same time whilst Obama addressed the U.S. AIR FORCE Academy of graduating cadets… I mean SERIOUSLY .. How in your face is that !!

  7. zendogbreath on June 4, 2016 at 11:19 pm

    come on doc. how can y’all be so suspicious? given the coincidental nature of life in the ussa, we oughta be more suspicious when the odds are low, right?

    it’s a nation where 2 guys from the same kinda exclusive frat in the same kinda exclusive school end up in the same kinda exclusive political campaign to decide who gets to read george hwb’s intel reports when he’s done with them?



    • zendogbreath on June 4, 2016 at 11:23 pm

      still makes me doubt it’s a clear signal as to who’s next as puppet in chief

      more like a clear signal that obusha will always be the the controlled monarch he was raised to be

      at least they’re not making him sing an autotuned comback concert with brittny spears while michelle comes out.



      • zendogbreath on June 5, 2016 at 9:50 pm

        correction: monarch as in not royal and more like butterfly? as in mk?



  8. Robert Barricklow on June 4, 2016 at 4:26 pm

    Makes you wonder; w/so many puppets on a string, and so many scripts being followed, via the dancing sing-along media –
    what happens went it goes off-script?

    If a tree falls in the forest[off-script] and no ones around to hear it[the press/media doesn’t utter a discouraging word/image]… ?
    Does it register anywhere on the hits parade?



    • Robert Barricklow on June 4, 2016 at 4:29 pm

      Are there tell-tale signs?



  9. Charles Smarr on June 4, 2016 at 12:01 pm

    Maybe the threatened target was AF1. The punctuation and seriousness was the fatal crash. President Obama, “Do you get the picture now?” Multiple White House security failures, Election night’s Uninvited guests, Michelle’s close call on the 18th of April in 2011 when First Lady Michele Obama was returning from New York when their plane a C-40 was guided into a landing slot far too close behind a jumbo, deranged man in the White House quarters, AK47 shots fired, earthquake on schedule in Mexico for daughter, hookers in Columbia caused Counter sniper squad to be pulled out and the South African fake deaf translator. It seems he constantly needs to be reminded of his mortality.



    • zendogbreath on June 4, 2016 at 11:04 pm

      wow. nice summary charles. makes one want to go down that list and check out the issues raised just before each incident and summarily dropped afterward. i seem to remember obusha threatening a justice dept bankster crackdown just before the mexican earthquake.



  10. loisg on June 4, 2016 at 11:28 am

    And these are just the instances we know about, I bet there’s a lot more messages being sent behind the scenes. I also would bet that Obama is counting the days until he can get out of there.



  11. marcos toledo on June 4, 2016 at 10:46 am

    Shades of the film This Island Earth which features two scenes of a airplane under remote control. The first while the pilot was in the jet he was testing the second a remote control piper plane which take him to a secret meeting. The film premiered in 1957 lest than a year after Forbidden Planet another sci-fi classic. And yes this does tie in to 9/11 keeping the sock puppets in line.



  12. Beckysue on June 4, 2016 at 10:25 am

    Two plane crashes and another fireball over Arizona. Busy week for somebody.



    • Pellevoisin on June 4, 2016 at 4:47 pm

      Beckysue, good connexion with the so-called bolide fireball over Arizona. I wonder if in some way it related to the number “6” as the two planes did.



  13. Churchless Mouse on June 4, 2016 at 8:24 am

    125 knots for that kind of plane.



  14. chimera on June 4, 2016 at 7:34 am

    I think Trump is the third level’s candidate for office. He is on THEIR team to implement their agenda going forward. Remember the day before the Jets went down Obama gave his stuttering speech about how we must come together as we are ALL Americans and must not be divided. Too late because he did his job assignment of dividing us in the first place. Then on May 31st he gave a news release about how we must be prepared for a disaster. Coincidence? I think not.



    • Aridzonan_13 on June 4, 2016 at 11:52 am

      Wow, that is a very interesting POV. Obviously, the likes of Ron Paul get their huge #’s of followers and votes obfuscated very quickly. Yet, Trump is a teflon don.. You don’t get to be a Senator or a Billionaire if you are not in the “Big Club”..



    • Pellevoisin on June 4, 2016 at 11:53 am

      An interesting thought, chimera. He has some fairly clear parallels with Mussolini for those who wish to see them.



    • OrigensChild on June 6, 2016 at 2:48 pm

      Well, now… This thought first crossed my mind back in February, 2016, and I’ve shared this thought in several conversations with a dear friend at a couple of our occasional dinners since then. And I’ve been waiting for someone here to say it…



  15. unclejed on June 4, 2016 at 7:30 am

    More for the suspicion meter …. from the Washington Post:
    In bizarre coincidence, a Blue Angels F-18 and a Thunderbirds F-16 crash on same day!!

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/06/02/air-force-f-16-crashes-just-minutes-after-flying-over-air-force-academy-graduation/



    • SoCal G on June 4, 2016 at 10:33 am

      Not only did they crash on the same day, but as the article states BOTH planes were the #6 aircraft. Two sixes.

      Another weird “coincidence” is the AF Lt. Col. spokesman’s name in the article just happens to be Hammond. I wonder if he is from Texas??



      • goshawks on June 4, 2016 at 3:42 pm

        SoCal G, very good! One of my favorite phrases. I wonder how many will catch the reference and implication…



        • Pellevoisin on June 4, 2016 at 4:44 pm

          Sorry, I hit the wrong reply button below. The reference is the US/Canadian scifi show Stargate or SG-1?

          Also, I expect that other “6” fell on the same day but we either have not seen it or found it or it has been carefully scrubbed away.



          • goshawks on June 5, 2016 at 4:32 am

            Yep. “Hammond of Texas” was used by Master Bra’tac, the Jaffa master from planet Chulak in “Stargate SG-1”. It was a ‘title’ scrabbled-together by Bra’tac in an effort to honor General Hammond. Great fun.

            (Bra’tac was over 133 years old at the beginning of the series.)



          • goshawks on June 5, 2016 at 4:34 am

            “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” That’s funny! goshawks – June 5, 2016 at 4:32 am.



      • goshawks on June 4, 2016 at 3:45 pm

        Two sixes. Considering the probable source for these ‘accidents’, I would look for a carefully media-suppressed THIRD six somewhere in the world…



        • Pellevoisin on June 4, 2016 at 4:42 pm

          SG-1 ?



  16. chimera on June 4, 2016 at 7:28 am

    Definitely a message to Obama. Another jet went down and the pilot died. BOTH jets were number 6 in the their respective formations and both went down at 1:00 pm and 1:01 pm .



    • Roger on June 4, 2016 at 12:46 pm

      Pay back for the downing of the Russian jet over Syria? If so two for one means the next move is ours. Unless this is also pay back for possibly hacked Russian rockets that can’t hardly seem to get off the ground now a days.



  17. Pellevoisin on June 4, 2016 at 6:30 am

    Having seen notice of this, I too found it surpassing strange. My take on it was that something interrupted the pilots ability to control the aircraft successfully. He did his best and thereby earned praise. However, after ejecting from the jet, whatever had interfered with his control then decided to bring the plane down in this controlled fashion. The calling card delivered with this event states, “We’re here.”

    The message strikes me as one for the current controllers and may be seen as an underlining of the events of the Eleventh of September as manifesto from that occulted third layer of actors so ably identified by Dr. Farrell.



  18. WalkingDead on June 4, 2016 at 5:48 am

    I cant comment on air force jets, however, Navy jets have had the capability to be remotely landed since the early 70’s aboard aircraft carriers or airfields. I would assume the same capability would be incorporated in all military jets. This is so they don’t lose the aircraft if it is determined, on approach, that the pilot is incapacitated in any way. Ejection would be one such incapacitation. This determination is usually made with more advanced notice than in this particular case, allowing the implementation of the proper procedures in a timely manner and the call in this case should have been made by the pilot.
    Loss of control by the pilot for technical reasons would also indicate that the same loss of control would effect the remote pilot; unless the remote feature was engaged causing the actual pilot to lose control forcing him to eject to save himself.
    Which leaves us with the question of just why they would intentionally crash one of these extremely expensive aircraft and risk the loss of its pilot. Surely it wasn’t for just a photo op.
