Quote:Navy Blocks Release of UAP Photos Amid Capitol Hill Hearing on Government Secrecy

The U.S. Navy has formally denied access to 78 “documents” containing photos marked as “unidentified aerial [anomalous] phenomena” (UAP). The denial, issued yesterday in response to a FOIA request filed by The Black Vault in 2022 and given case number DON-NAVY-2022-012661, highlights the Navy’s continued use of national defense and intelligence exemptions to keep UAP data classified. The response arrived less than an hour before a highly anticipated UAP hearing on Capitol Hill, where members of Congress heard testimony about the government’s lack of transparency on the issue.

To: No one in particular
From: No one you usually listen to

Subject: Your continued path

This letter is meant to address observations I humbly submit as the least of your citizens.

I offer these thoughts to you in the hope that perhaps, if you should ever consider them, you may find it meaningfully useful to recollect.  I understand that you almost never read such things, unless it has publicity value, but I expect you won't ever know me.  I don't lust after notoriety, and I can assure you, people such as me really do exist.

Your profession hails from a distinct line... but until relatively recently in history, has lacked the amplification it now has... the entertainment value. 
It is because of this, specifically, that your kind have embodied the pejorative "clown show." 
This is not a function of your character, only your participation. 
You can easily refuse to participate, only you know the consequences that might precipitate.

I urge you to consider your current position. 
You are entrenched within a class of society which has already damaged itself, insofar as thriving with your very reason to exist. 
That class of individuals has a very distinct reality to contend with... not commonly recognized or discussed by you or your colleagues. 
I refer to the "culture" which has coalesced around you. 
You are mostly operating between bubbles...
Do you think about how those around you identify as varying interest groups, how all contact with them is conducted, what has been planned for you, what are you obliged to do.

It is the life of a servant. Did you sign up for that?  Or do you notice the many entitled deviations from it, everywhere around you? 

Prestige is a drug, the addict is the weakest of you all.
But who better than the Media to offer them what they need? 
Some of them have all they need... so they deal in it. 
They metricize it, like a sport... they obsess over it.

The media has it's hook deeply implanted in your world.
And I mean deep.
These are not "nice" people. NONE of them are.
They can't help but lust for power.

The younger generation was broken, and it manifested here... where you work, where you play. 
Can you fix it? 
You know you can. 
But you have to want to...

Thanks for your time,
No one

Just recently I've stumbled upon this picture on X:



This is an "exhibition" in a newly opened Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw; just a few coins and receipts from a supermarket dropped on the floor in an otherwise empty room. Several people gathered there and were making photos.

Later some staff member approached and cleaned the "exhibition" which turned out not to be an exhibition but a joke played by some visitor. Are people to be blamed that they took the rubbish for art? Maybe, I'm dumb but most of today's modern art displayed in museums looks like worthless garbage as compared to the classical art, with very few exceptions I actually admired.

And what are your thoughts about the modern art? Do you find any value in it?

Another Earthquake fish in San Diego County! The first one was found in LA Jolla Cove and the new one about 15 miles north in Encinitas.

https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news...ounty/amp/

We still haven't received the last fish's doomsday yet. But the fish was found adjacent to the same fault, which I guess you could draw conclusions from. The Rose Canyon portion of The Newport–Inglewood–Rose Canyon–Descanso–Agua Blanca Fault Zone.

It's not the most slip heavy fault like The San Andreas, San Jacinto, or Elsinore Faults, but its the 4th in parallel running faults that perpetually threaten our existence.

There was a six point something in 1800s and seven something 300 years ago. But it's not that active, and only recently started getting considered hazardous and significantly planned for.

The most often played out (and computed) scenario is a Loma Prieta strength 6.9 that occurs, rather coincidentally, a few miles offshore from where this doom fish was found.



I guess a watch fault never slips. The ground just doesn't move here. A little bit about 14 years ago, but it's really lulled everyone to sleep since. Almost too asleep. Nothing like the early 90s. Today, you'd never know there's a ring of fire here.

I'm starting to doubt the prophetic power of dead Oarfish.

Well, it looks like The Onion has won the bid; infowars.com is currently offline.

Quote:The Onion Says It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones’s Site, Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

The Onion, a satirical publication that skewers newsmakers and current events, said on Thursday that it had won a bankruptcy auction to acquire Infowars, a website founded and operated by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The Onion said that the bid was sanctioned by the families of the victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who in 2022 won a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit against Mr. Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems.

...The Onion plans to relaunch Infowars in January as a parody of itself, he said, mocking “weird internet personalities” like Mr. Jones who traffic in misinformation and health supplements.

“We thought this would be a hilarious joke,” Mr. Collins said. “This is going to be our answer to this no-guardrails world where there are no gatekeepers and everything’s kind of insane.”

...The plan is to relaunch it next year with an approach reminiscent of Clickhole, The Onion’s sister site that poked fun at “listicles” from BuzzFeed and other purveyors of viral content.

Here is the document, released 11/13/24:

http://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO12/2...-SD003.pdf

Since this is a scan, here is a formatted OCR of the document:

Introduction

This document is the result of a multi-year, internal investigation into the subjects of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Technologies of Unknown Origin (TUO), and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). This investigation was undertaken in response to urgent and credible threats to the public good and safety of the United States of America — and provided to Congress through the UAP whistleblower mechanisms established by the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act, and the FY23 National Intelligence Authorization Act. The data consulted during this investigation, and summarized in this report, originate from non-public data held within the Executive Branch of the United States Government (USG). The author obtained access to this information while pursuing their lawful duties as an employee of the Department of Defense. This public version of the author’s report was reviewed and approved for public release by the Department of State, Bureau of Global Public Affairs.

The results of this investigation are deeply disturbing. Elements of the U.S. Executive Branch have conspired to prevent the U.S. Legislative Branch from exercising its lawful powers of governance with respect to the UAP, TUO, and NHI issues. The information provided by the author strongly suggests that the U.S. Executive Branch has been managing UAP/NHI issues without Congressional knowledge, oversight, or authorization for some time, quite possibly decades. This criminal conspiracy keeps the elected government of the United States and its citizens ignorant to profound discoveries and dire threats originating from the existence of UAP, NHI, and their technologies.

Unambiguous evidence demonstrating the reality of UAP, NHI, and TUO has been made available to Congress by multiple, independent UAP whistleblowers. This document is but one item of evidence brought to Congress, much more exists and hopefully will be made available. In this public version of the report, information is organized into seven categories of evidence, including: an Unacknowledged Special Access Program (uSAP); Imagery Intelligence (IMINT); human intelligence (HUMINT); signals intelligence (SIGINT); USG bureaucratic records; USG historical records; and other sensitive sources. All information in this report is derived from access to non-public information.

Section 1: Unacknowledged Special Access Program — IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION

IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION is an Unacknowledged Special Access Program (USAP) established following the public disclosure of the AATIP/AAWSAP programs by Luis Elizondo in 2017. Upon disclosure to Congress, it was determined that this USAP and its collateral information have not been lawfully reported to Congress.

IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION’s primary mission is collecting imagery intelligence on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and ARV/RV (Reproduction Vehicles) utilizing tasked and untasked U.S. military-intelligence resources. As part of a network of SAPs linked to Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) and UAP technologies, IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION acts as a nexus for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence on the activities, capabilities, and locations of anomalous aerospace threats that originate from foreign or unidentified sources.

The intelligence within the IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION program primarily consists of high-quality Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and collateral Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) of UAPs and ARV/RVs within Earth’s atmosphere. The collection platforms involved are a blend of tasked and untasked capabilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the upper atmosphere, military and civilian aviation altitudes and maritime environments. IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION pays particular attention to anomalous aerospace platforms that have been developed through the study or acquisition of technologies of unknown origin by foreign nations or unknown entities. UAP and ARV/RV signatures and preferred operating areas are known to the program, enabling a degree of strategic awareness and warning. Finally, IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION shows that UAP and ARV/RVs are operating around the globe, often in close proximity to sensitive foreign assets and locations.

The categorization of IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION as a 'parent' USAP, with various ‘child’ SAPs under its umbrella, indicates a high level of compartmentalization and secrecy. In effect, IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION serves as a central or 'parent' USAP that consolidates observations of UAP and ARV activities detected by tasked and untasked collection platforms. Sophisticated internal information security controls are a major part of the IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION program, which enforces compartmentalization by detecting, quarantining, and transferring UAP and RV imagery collection incidents before they are circulated within the Military Intelligence Enterprise.

In conclusion, IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION shows that the USG is not only aware of UAPs and TUO, but also foreign state efforts to replicate UAP and TUO capabilities. The data within IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION reveals the capacity of the U.S. Armed Services and Military Intelligence Community to detect, track, identify, and engage anomalous transmedium platforms. IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION also demonstrates the extant capability to detect, quarantine, and transfer UAP and RV collection incidents before they are observed and circulated within the Military Intelligence Enterprise, partially explaining why many otherwise cleared members of the military and IC are unaware of UAP activities. Finally, the existence of IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION provides verifiable evidence of the witting participation by elements of the U.S. Armed Services, Defense Civil Service, and the Intelligence Community in a global surveillance and reconnaissance mission tasked with monitoring UAPs and ARV/RVs.

Section 2: USG Imagery Intelligence

The USG maintains Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) databases accessible to personnel with appropriate security clearances and mission need. These databases are scattered across various organizations and services, leading to a fragmented ownership structure. This dispersion complicates the timely and comprehensive gathering of IMINT related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). Control over access to these datasets primarily reside with the Military Intelligence Enterprise, the Combatant Commands, the Armed Services, and individual Program Managers.

The IMINT collected from datasets available to the DoD, and reviewed for this report, provide compelling evidence for UAP which defy prosaic explanations. There is a large number of unique imagery sensors available to the U.S. military and intelligence community including: Infrared (IR)/Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR), Full Motion Video (FMV), Thermal, and Still Photography. The multitude of wavelengths collected by these sensors have captured UAP characteristics that are difficult or impossible to observe with the human eye alone. Subtle atmospheric effects associated with UAPs are visible through the sensors employed by the U.S. military and intelligence agencies, enabling unique analytic techniques. The verifiable chain of custody for UAP IMINT collected by U.S. military assets ensures a high level of confidence in the accuracy and integrity of the data gathered. The following examples are presented:

CENTCOM Cuboid Formation of Metallic Orbs: On USG networks, there exists daytime-FMV and daytime-FLIR footage of a formation of ~12 metallic orbs skimming the ocean surface at high-speed before dispersing in multiple directions. The rapid and agile maneuvering of the metallic orbs were incompatible with known aerospace vehicles and were between 3-6 meters in diameter. In the opening segment of this footage, the ~12 metallic orbs flew in a tight ‘cuboid’ formation; the metallic orbs were in three vertical-square formations of ~4 orbs each, arranged in a three-pronged configuration, creating the illusion of a cube shape at distance. All the orbs were white-hot against the black-cold ocean in the FLIR footage, and each sphere created a feint atmospheric distortion both around itself and as a heat-shimmer ‘contrail’. The metallic orbs moved in this cube formation over the ocean for some time, before rapidly breaking formation as pairs. The sensor platform lost track of most of the metallic orbs as they ascended in altitude and accelerated in speed but maintained observation on a pair of metallic orbs continuing the original trajectory of the larger formation.

CENTCOM Fast Mover Observed Transiting Over Sensitive Facilities: On USG networks, there exists FLIR footage of a small-medium oval UAP flying at high speed and low to the surface. The footage begins as routine surveillance of a sensitive coastal facility, when the oval UAP rapidly comes into frame as it flies above coastal facilities. The oval UAP then makes a rapid turn towards the ocean where it is tracked by the collection platform. The oval UAP is tracked flying low over the open ocean at high speed before the track is lost.

INDOPACOM Intelligence Vessels Positioned to Collect on Reproduction Vehicle: On USG networks, there exists Infrared footage of and imagery of a grouping of vessels engaged in SIGINT and MASINT collection at night in a specific area of the Pacific Ocean. In this footage, which was in close-proximity to the vessels, a large equilateral-triangle UAP suddenly appears directly over the ships. Three bright points are seen at each bottom corner of the UAP, which is observed to slowly rotate on its horizontal access, This rotation partially reveals a horizontal bar of sweeping lights. Intelligence analysis associated with this event specifies that the equilateral triangle is a Reproduction Vehicle (RV) and concludes that the vessels must have been aware of the R'V’s frequent use of those coordinates, due to foreign pre-positioning of advanced collection assets at the exact time and place. After a brief period of hovering and slowly rotating approximately 500-1000 meters above the ocean, the RV suddenly disappears, and the footage ends.

INDOPACOM Equilateral Triangle UAP Tails Unwitting Vessel: On USG networks, there exists infrared footage of an equilateral-triangle UAP, approximately fighter-jet sized, hovering less than 200 meters above a vessel, in the night at a location in the Pacific. Intelligence analysis associated with this event specifies that the equilateral-triangle is an ARV/RV of unknown origin. The vessel gives no signs that it is aware of the ARV/RV maintaining altitude and bearing directly overhead. Two lights on the underside of the ARV/RV are visible, while a third is blocked from view due to a slightly upward angle of orientation.

INDOPACOM Large Disc Using Clouds as Concealment: On USG networks there exists OPIR footage of a large saucer shaped UAP emerging from within a dense cloud formation. The saucer registered black-hot against white-cold, with atmospheric disturbances caused by the saucer shaped UAP visible. The saucer was between 200-400 meters in circumference and displayed symmetrical concavities on the upper surface. The saucer shaped UAP emerges at a shallow angle travelling upwards towards the outer atmosphere. After breaking above the cloud cover, the saucer shaped UAP suddenly reverses its direction, descending partially back into the cloud cover, then accelerating rapidly out of frame and partially obscured by the could tops. This behavior was evasive in nature and implied that the saucer shaped UAP had become aware that it was under observation by a space-based collection platform.

INDOPACOM Boomerang UAP Observed by Pilot and Sensor Suite: On USG networks there exists FLIR footage of a swept-boomerang UAP maneuvering at an uncertain altitude at a location off the eastern coast of a country. The UAP is tracked against clouds by the sensor suite of the operating craft. The UAP is observed rapidly decelerating to a stationery hover, followed by the sudden emission of a sphere of light from the junction of the two ‘wings’ which expands to partially engulf the craft in a rotating sphere of light, at which point the available footage ends.

NORTHCOM Jellyfish UAP Crosses US-Mexico Border: On USG networks, there exists FLIR footage of an irregularly shaped UAP flying across the southern border. The UAP appeared in FLIR to be ‘mottled’ irregularly with hot/cold emissions and approximated a jellyfish or floating ‘brain’ with hanging appendages in appearance. The UAP flew against the wind with no visible means of propulsion, maintained an unnatural ‘rigidity’ in its movements and flight path, and maintained a comparatively low altitude to geographic features. In appearance and behavior, footage of this UAP violating the airspace of the southern border resembled the same class of UAPs observed near DoD facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan. There exists at least one compilation video of this class of UAP, sourced from DoD force protection assets and Theater ISR, which uses this footage as a point of comparison.

NORTHCOM Supersonic 'Range Fouler’ Intercepts USN Fighter: On USG networks there exists FLIR footage and radar data of a supersonic UAP of uncertain characteristics conducting a head-on intercept of a USN fighter operating off the Eastern Seaboard. The UAP is observed emerging from a cloudbank at high-speed and approaching the USN aircraft head-on, rapidly passing over the left side of the cockpit. Radar data from this approach tracks the UAP on its approach towards the craft providing information on speed, heading, and elevation.

SOUTHCOM Tic-Tac Detected by Space Asset in Proximity of Vessel: On USG networks there exists OPIR imagery and MASINT of a Tic-Tac UAP transiting through an area of the Atlantic Ocean. The Tic-Tac maneuvers at an altitude at or near local cloud cover, and correlated electromagnetic signatures were collected by MASINT. In the available footage the Tic-Tac UAP transits rapidly through the field of regard as it transits the ocean. No observed reaction is seen, to come from the vessel, but its proximity in time and space to the trajectory of this UAP suggests foreknowledge of the UAP event by intelligence.

Section 3: Defense Human Intelligence Reporting

The USG maintains a database of intelligence collected by military personnel across a plethora of topics, including UAP. These individual reports are considered “raw” because they have not undergone evaluation, corroboration, or contextualization into a finished analytical product by Military Intelligence Community analysts. A significant volume of reports documenting first-hand encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) or Unidentified Flying Objects
(UFOs) by DoD personnel exists within defense HUMINT databases. Many of these UAP reports are filed by military aviators and pilots, as well as service members trained in foreign military intelligence collection activities, and often include photographic evidence and sensor data. When aggregated, these reports reveal significant information on UAP.

This section is directly informed by reviewing over 400 defense HUMINT reports on encounters with UAPs/UFOs by USG personnel spanning from 1991 to 2022. It must be noted that this dataset is not exhaustive — other HUMINT data sources exist which are omitted from this analysis. The defense HUMINT dataset summarized here highlights notable trends in the reporting stream and are presented here along with specific examples.

Common UAP/UFO Shapes Observed in Defense HUMINT Dataset

From 1991 to 2022, the most common UAP shapes reported in this USG dataset were spheres/orbs, discs/saucers ovals/tic-tacs, triangles, boomerang/arrowhead, and irregular/organic. The Triangles/Boomerangs/Arrowhead shapes were by far the rarest and spheres the most common. Variations of morphology within these categories are present i.e, smooth spheres and spheres with protuberances; saucers without domes and saucers with domes; smooth ovals and ovals with surface structures; jellyfish or floating “brains” with appendages; and elongated triangles as well as equilateral triangles.

• Sphere or Orb: Spheres were the most reported shape, with variations ranging from smooth featureless orbs to spheres with visible openings or appendages. These objects prevalence suggests a possible standard in UAP design or function, capable of high maneuverability and speed. The diversity within the sphere category, spanning from simple, polished appearances to more complex structures with appendages, suggests a broad range of purposes or technologies unique to the platform’s mission and/or the originator.
  
• Disc or Saucer: Saucer-shaped UAPs, reported with and without domes, were the second-most common shape reported. Flat saucers were reported as well, these being disc like objects without pronounced domes. Traditional bi-convex UAPs are also reported in the data.
  
• Oval or Tic-Tac: Oval-shaped UAPs were infrequently reported within the dataset, and only after approximately 2003; these UAPs either maintained a uniform ‘egg-like’ symmetry, occasionally tapered into a teardrop shape. Cylinders with convex ends (Tic-Tacs) fall into this category, and occasionally featured visible protuberances on the ‘top’ or ‘bottom’ of the otherwise uniform planform.
  
• Triangle: Triangles were among the rarest UAPs reported in the data. Most of these sightings were equilateral triangles, occasionally with vertical ‘stabilizers’ visible on the ‘top’ of the UAP. Elongated (isosceles) types were also reported, occasionally with the same vertical stabilizers observed on the equilateral type.
  
• Boomerang or Arrowhead: Boomerangs and ‘Arrowhead’ shaped UAPs were also among the rarest reported. The boomerang UAPs exhibited bilateral symmetry, with sweeping wings and a high aspect ratio. Arrowhead UAPs also showed bilateral symmetry, but possessed tapered wings and a low aspect ratio, typically with highly swept leading edges.
  
• Irregular or Organic: Irregularly shaped UAPs, those that defy simple geometric description, were among the rarest reported sightings. Shape-shifting UAPs also appear in the dataset, typically having a spherical or disc-like “base” form from which irregular geometries are seen to project. “Floating brain” or “Jellyfish” UAPs are present as well, characterized by a central mass from which multiple “arms” or spars hang downward. Finally, combined shapes were also observed, including cubes within spheres, ringed saucers, and various rectangular and cuboid forms.

• Foreign countries are known to have observed UAPs whose signatures and behaviors correlate to those observed by the United States.
  
• These UAP events are treated by the security apparatuses of each state as serious national security threats due to UAP in proximity to sensitive military and intelligence facilities.
  
• These facilities are most often associated with aerospace defense, strategic deterrence, and military-sponsored scientific research and development.
  
• On multiple occasions, each of these nations have attempted to intercept and shoot down UAPs violating their territorial airspace, and the airspace over sensitive facilities.
  
• Foreign countries have internal organizations dedicated to studying the ambiguous threat posed by UAPs, deducing scientific principles through observing UAP, and the careful management of public perceptions of the UAP issue.

I woke up with something running into the corner of the room.  Just a glimpse, a shadow, but there is nothing there.

There is nothing there, I just woke up, paralyzed. Paralyzed? It's just sleep paralysis again and I'll just relax and go back to sleep calmly.

SUDDENLY - My wife sits up next to me asking where our son is?  Points to the corner of the room where there is nothing and says "Oh, there he is." Falls back down and continues sleeping. 

Naturally I'm going through some emotions at this point and still paralyzed, so I tried to move and can only manage to get my arm shaking.  In the past I managed to break out of it when threatened.

It's not working, but I have to keep trying. "Mommy, what is he doing?" A little girl asks that wasn't there    HOLY $@#$ my mind broke a little bit at this point and survival instincts kicked in at 500%

Wish I could tell you what happened after that, at some point I could move again and immediately went to go check on my son. He was watching youtube in his room, 11PM not even that late.

That was one of my more disturbing SP episodes.  Can you remember how your sleep paralysis episodes end? What did you do after and how did you feel?

Hey all! I'm Agarthaseed from ATS. The is my first dive into DI. Let's hit the ground running..

I, like many, am overjoyed that Trump not only won but obliterated this election. I also believe that the 2020 election was illegally stolen from Trump and that it's not an issue that should simply be disregarded simply because Trump was victorious on Tuesday.

As more 2024 election numbers and statistics are being finalized, they're painting a very interesting picture in regards to the results of the 2020 election.

It's strange that in 2024 we saw a total of 144.6 million votes compared to the 158.4 million votes that were cast in 2020...... during a pandemic.
....Before the vaccine came out.
....When the media convinced people they'd die if they left their home.

It's also strange that of that 13.8 million vote discrepancy, about 12 million of that figure went to Joe Biden.



But this thread isn't about that. It's about the bellwether counties. To those unfamiliar, a bellwether county is a county whose election results are typically in line with the overall outcome of the presidential election. In other words, a bellwether is an indicator of trends. Starting in 1980 these 17 counties ( some sources will claim there are more than 17 ) have been tracked because they've been quite accurate. In fact, in the past 44 years there have only been a few cases where one of these counties were won by the eventual loser of the presidential election.

......then came 2020.



And you'll notice that mysteriously the bellwethers returned to being pretty damn accurate in 2024.

The corporate, subversive, manipulative legacy media DOES NOT want scrutiny on this topic so they've instead decided to gaslight the American public about bellwether counties over the past few days:

Quote:There are no bellwether counties left in America; heading into the 2020 election there were nearly 20.

The 2024 Zhuhai Airshow in China has seen the official unveiling of the J-35A for the PLAAF(they're also looking for a STOVL aircraft, possibly another variant of the J-35), as well as the world's first two seat LO aircraft in the J-20S. The J-20S was first seen in 2021 on a test flight. The aircraft at Zhuhai is a mock up however. According to Chinese sources, the S will have outstanding situational awareness, EW and tactical command and control capabilities, as well as combat coordination capabilities for a MUM-T mission. It will have limited ability to act as a small airborne early warning platform.

In addition to the J-35A and J-20S, both were displayed next to PL-10E and PL-15E air to air missiles. The PL-15E is an Active Radar Homing (ARH) missile, and was built with folding fins to allow for carriage in an internal weapons bay. It's believed to have a range of around 150 miles.

The B-21 cost has dropped significantly between the amount budgeted in FY23, and the amount budgeted in FY25. Inflation adjusted costs initially showed the per airframe cost at $730M ($511M in 2015 dollars), but it appears that the first aircraft now cost $668M per aircraft. In FY23, the Air Force budgeted $19.1B for the initial lot, reducing that to $13.8B in the FY25 budget request. This may allow the Air Force to increase their total buy, or speed up production of the aircraft. The Northrop CEO said that the final three lots could see a significant increase in the number of aircraft in each lot, potentially by "dozens". The contract for LRIP 2 is expected to be signed by the end of the year, although no future price changes are expected. 

Quote:In fact, in a rare instance for a defense acquisition program, as reported by Aviation Week, the B-21 budget for the first five production lots went from the $19.1 billion budgeted by the U.S. Air Force in 2023 to the $13.8 billion budgeted for 2025. The decrease amounts to a 28% discount, or $5.1 billion, for the same number of bombers to be acquired between 2023 and 2027.
While the future lots of the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) are still to be negotiated, the decrease of the cost could allow to boost the production with an increase of the orders. In fact, according to Northrop Grumman’s CEO Kathy Warden, the savings could allow to potentially add dozens of B-21s to the last three years of the LRIP phase.

I have been wondering about the overall alignment in the foreign press with the "political theater" of the United States...

How the things our friends overseas hear (and say) line up with the local clown-show of outrageous claims, base allegations, and general disrespect...

Who "any of them" support, or oppose is really NOT relevant to us here in the states... but the sentiment resonates around their media, and ultimately "informs" their public, just as ours does here...

How many have seen this... or something  very much like it.

I suggest that through these utterances we can better understand just how "international" and yet exclusive the 'old club' really is...

For those who can't visit the link (it's a YouTube short that won't embed) 

A speaker questions whether the Foreign Secretary of the UK ever apologize to President Trump for his derogatory public remarks about him... which included scatological references, and calling him a woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath, and a profound threat to the international order.
