The U.S. Air Force has ended its uninterrupted rotations of bombers to Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, which have been ongoing since 2004, as it shifts to a less predictable concept of operations. Five B-52H Stratofortresses left yesterday with no replacement aircraft in place, bringing an end to what the service had called the Continuous Bomber Presence Mission. This notably came just days after the bombers took part in a massive "elephant walk" readiness drill that also involved six KC-135R aerial refueling tankers, an RQ-4B Global Hawk drone, as well as a U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton drone, and an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, which was seen as a significant statement of American resolve aimed China.

Online aircraft tracker and friend of The War Zone @AircraftSpots spotted the five B-52Hs leaving Guam for their home at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota on Apr. 16, 2020. The bombers used the very pointed callsign "SEEYA" for the transit.

Saudi Arabia carried out its 800th execution last week, marking an almost two-fold increase in the use of the medieval practice since King Salman assumed power in 2015, a rights group says.

Reprieve, a UK-based non-profit organization, said in a report on Tuesday that the Riyadh regime last week beheaded Abdulmohsin Humood Abdullah al-Ghamdi, a national accused of committing murder, marking the 800th execution in the Arab country since Salman assumed power in January 2015, following the death of his half-brother, King Abdullah.

The report said that executions had almost doubled in just five years in comparison with the 423 executions conducted in Saudi Arabia from 2009 through 2014.

COP-21 to COVID-19, the collapse of 'predictive models and the return to actual thinking

American Surgeon General Jerome Powell's recent announcement that America would begin using real data and real trends instead of the World Health Organization-Bill Gates driven 'predictive models' came as a breath of fresh air for many who were beginning to lose hope that reason had been banished from world policy. When compared with reality, the WHO/Gates-funded narrative justifying the total shutdown of global economies falls apart like a house of cards as outlined perfectly by the Swiss Propaganda Research Institute's Facts of COVID-19.

Powell's announcement opens up a larger discussion on the nature of the human mind, and how the the oligarchy has managed to subvert nation states over the past 50 years using a simple technique that replaces actual creative thinking for mind-less computer modelling.

The Global Coup: Predictive Models Take Over Actual Thinking

The age of "predictive doomsday models" in many ways grew out of the 1972 Limits to Growth study funded by the Club of Rome which popularized the technique of tying temperature increases to carbon dioxide and projecting economic variables like population, resource losses, and "pollution growth" into the future in order to scare the hell out of their incredulous victims and intimidate nations to drastically modify their collective behavior.

Jewish power in control as Virginia goes zionist

Politicians, bureaucrats and media talking heads have long turned a blind eye to legislation and policies that benefit the state of Israel to the detriments of United States' interests. The U.S. Treasury is plausibly describable as a gift that never stops giving to the people and governments of Jewish state. Since the foundation of Israel in 1948, the federal government in Washington has provided some $142.3 billion in direct aid of various kinds.

Currently, Israel receives $3.8 billion per annum guaranteed for ten years, a sum that is supplemented by various giveaways, tax concessions and co-production arrangements from the government. Private "charitable" donations from individuals, businesses and foundations, some of which are fraudulent, considerably augment those numbers, making the total that Israel receives annually from the United States well in excess of $10 billion. A considerable proportion of that money is technically illegal, as it goes in support of the Israeli settlements on Arab land. No other country has received anything even approaching what Israel gets from the American taxpayer in one form or another and the one-way flow of money is also remarkable in that it has been guaranteed well into the future.

As the Trump administration pushes Covid-19 'China lab' origins conspiracy theory, lest we forget Iraqi 'WMD'

As the United States begins to grapple with the scope and scale of the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the national economy, as well as the heavy human toll the disease has taken on its population (676,676 documented cases as of April 17, with 34,784 deaths), it was only a matter of time before politicians began looking for someone to blame. Recently, President Trump has come under increasing scrutiny for what has been depicted as a delayed response to the threat posed by Covid-19, with many critics pointing out that his administration was virtually silent on the issue throughout the month of February, thereby losing precious time that could have been spent mitigating against the spread of the disease.

Bojo missed FIVE emergency cobra meetings in early stages of coronavirus response

Boris Johnson skipped five cobra meetings on the coronavirus outbreak at the start of the year, before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The Prime Minister missed a number of emergency meetings, which is attended by leading ministers, intelligence chiefs and other experts, in January and February just as the outbreak was started to worsen, the Sunday Times reports.

Mr Johnson was absent from one meeting, yet found the time to join in a lunar new year dragon eyes ritual to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The other meetings were understood to have been skipped in order to prioritise his personal life and other domestic issues, such as Brexit and his cabinet reshuffle.

Comment: Bojo's absence at these meetings and then his sudden turnaround where he declared a national crisis and implemented an unprecedented lockdown make for some odd behaviour; one wonders what brought about his sudden change of mind?

Republican officials Tom Cotton and Dan Crenshaw have introduced a bill sure to stir up tensions between the US and China that would allow American citizens to sue for 'damages' caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The senator from Arkansas and the representative from Texas, both vocal critics of the Chinese government, want to amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to create an exception for people to recover "damages caused by China's dangerous handling of the Covid-19 outbreak."

The Immunities Act protects foreign nations and their official agencies from being sued in US courts.

Comment: They should be suing the US government, not China, considering the likelihood that the coronavirus was created in the US by the military and then transported to China.

Russia has tested an "anti-satellite" weapon - at least Pentagon said so, branding Moscow's calls against militarization of space "hypocritical." The US itself has had such weaponry for years already, however.

News of the Russian test of a missile, allegedly capable of destroying satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), was broken by the chief of US Space Command General John Raymond.

The test is yet "another example that the threats to US and allied space systems are real, serious, and growing," the Space Force chief of operations said.

Vulture circling: Cuomo's elite consultants spar with Trump's Big Business CEOs to control Americans' futures

US President Donald Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo have retained squads of Big Business honchos to advise them on reopening the economy. Lost in the scuffle are the voices of those worst affected by the shutdown.

A 'scientific' model advised by two elite management consulting firms tasked with 'Trump-proofing' the reopening, or a business-first model recommended by the CEOs of some of the largest corporations in the US? The 22 million-plus Americans put out of work by the coronavirus-induced recession might balk at both, and they wouldn't be wrong.

Cuomo's coalition of mostly Democratic governors is advised by McKinsey & Co., the same elite management consulting firm that drew up an egregiously flawed model to predict the number of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds the state of New York would need during the pandemic. That model's worst-case scenario projected 40,000 beds would be needed by April 7 - and in the best-case scenario, by April 14.

Comment: Never let a crisis go to waste . . .

Sources in northern Syria revealed that Turkey has freed a number of former ISIS members from its prisons, sending them to northern Raqqa to form a new terrorist group. Three days ago, a new terrorist group which included former ISIS members, supported by the militants, held a meeting in Tal Abyadh region, the Arabic-language al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper reported.

It quoted Khalaf al-Khater, one of the media activists in Tal Abyadh, as saying that the meeting was aimed at forming a new group under Turkey's supervision. Also, Zaid al-Akidi, another Syrian activist, said that the group seems to be playing an important role under Ankara's supervision in the next few days, adding that they will possibly conduct operations against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
