Ascending: Legacy Media Spotlight Propels QAnon Movement
Over the last week the Washington Post, NYT, CNN. NBC News. CBS News, Bloomberg, The New Yorker, Vox, Daily Beast have all written a plethora of over 20 articles on the Qanon Movement all using highly similar talking points to marginalize the movement. Instead it’s just pushing it into the cultural mainstream– the Streisand Effect. MSM will never learn– lol! WAPO published 3 articles in the last 4 days– lol! Crazytown– clearly MSM and their deepstate handlers see the movement as a threat coming up to the midterms. Such a coordinated major media barrage of negative coverage hasn’t been seen since WIkileaks published The Podesta Emails:
The coverage’s common denominator is the use of shared descriptives including “fringe, far-right, false, deranged, insane, bizarre, cult, and conspiracy theory” in an attempt to marginalize the movement. The media blitz reached a zenith after President Trump’s rally in Tampa, Florida on July 31, where a contingency of attendees sported “Q” t-shirts and raised homemade placards directing viewers to #QAnon and to www.Qanon.pub, the website that re-publishes QAnon’s 8chan content.
Abstract
An automatic takeoff thrust management system can be used in an aircraft with at least two engines. The management system comprises an aircraft status sensor or set of sensors capable of detecting establishment of takeoff climb conditions, and engine failure detectors respectively coupled to the at least two engines and capable of detecting engine failure. The management system further comprises thrust control modules respectively coupled to the at least two engines and capable of controlling the thrust of the engines, and a controller coupled to the aircraft status sensors, the engine failure detectors, and the thrust control modules. The controller reduces thrust by a selected amount upon detecting establishment of takeoff climb conditions and, if engine failure is detected, restoring thrust to an initial or a higher schedule.
ADS-B is mandated in the in the USA by 2020. In Europe, it is required by 2015. It is already mandated in Canada. Already a huge portion of aircraft being used today have ADS-B Out. The entire UPS fleet is equipped with ADS-B Out, while half of it also has ADS-B In[10]. The FAA is looking into some solutions, but as long as it pushes the widespread use of ADS-B as it exists now, these threats will continue to exist. If our military aircraft are also equipped with ADS-B, using it could be a liability in war as well
The officials from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) were not at all happy about what they were hearing. An unshaven 32-year-old from Spain, his hair pulled back in a ponytail, was talking about cockpit computers and their weaknesses and security loopholes. Specifically, he was telling the EASA officials how he had managed to buy original parts from aviation suppliers on Ebay for just a few hundred dollars. His goal was to simulate the data exchange between current passenger-jet models and air-traffic controllers on the ground in order to search for possible backdoors. His search was successful. Very successful.
In this article, we have learned about the ADS-B and its vulnerabilities. Notably, we learned how we can use its unencrypted nature to track military and FBI aircraft, among others, using a free app and web service. In the next of this series, we will dive into building our own ADS-B receiver using a Rasberry Pi and RTL-SDR dongle, and then share our own receiver's data with the world.
There are many challenges in securing aviation, such as privacy concerns, long lines that create large, vulnerable targets, a lack of international security uniformity, and internal issues at the TSA. Improving global security standards for international flight security will likely reduce the threat of a terrorist attack in the U.S. Implementing insider threat programs and following guidelines set by the National Insider Threat Task Force will aid in reducing malicious insider activity by appropriating part of TSA’s budget toward training and awareness, instead of toward proven ineffective security measures, such as Federal Air Marshals.
“We got the airplane on Sept. 19, 2016. Two days later, I was successful in accomplishing a remote, non-cooperative, penetration,” Hickey said in an article in Avionics Today. “[That] means I didn’t have anybody touching the airplane; I didn’t have an insider threat. I stood off using typical stuff that could get through security, and we were able to establish a presence on the systems of the aircraft.” While the details of the hack are classified, Hickey admitted that his team of industry experts and academics pulled it off by accessing the 757’s “radio frequency communications. US government researchers believe it is only a matter of time before a cybersecurity breach on an airline occurs, according to government documents obtained by Motherboard. The comment was included in a recent presentation talking about efforts to uncover vulnerabilities in widely used commercial aircraft, building on research in which a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) team successfully remotely hacked a Boeing 737.
What does cruising at 40,000 feet imply? Most people sleep or read while "cruising" on the plane.

It also means to take in or view the big picture. Seeing the whole picture at one time.

OK.. We've cruised at 40,000 feet...taking in the BIG PICTURE. Let's hope that the assessment is almost over and "landing" will mean delivering justice to the evil deep-staters.
