Boeing Failed 37% of Audits by US Regulators, Report Reveals
On January 5, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, carrying 171 passengers and six crew members, was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon shortly after takeoff because a door plug detached midair.
Boeing has failed 33 of 89 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspections, following a January incident in which part of the fuselage of an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX was lost, the New York Times reports, citing FAA data.
According to the New York Times, auditors examined “many parts of the 737 MAX” as well as employees’ understanding of product quality control principles.
The inspections lasted six weeks and involved both Boeing and the supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselage for the Boeing 737 MAX. The newspaper notes that Boeing passed 56 of the 89 audits. The auditors focused on “many parts of the 737 MAX, including the wings and a number of other systems,” as well as employees’ understanding of product quality control principles. The audits found 97 instances of alleged noncompliance with manufacturing standards.
Spirit AeroSystems failed seven out of the 13 inspections according to FAA documents. Representatives observed mechanics at Spirit AeroSystems using a hotel key card to check the door seal, as well as using liquid soap as a lubricant during the assembly process on the seal.
The Boeing 737 is a group of narrow-body, short- to medium-range passenger and transport airliners produced by the Boeing Corporation since 1967. It holds the title of being the most mass-produced passenger aircraft in the history of commercial aviation, with the delivery of the 10,000th airplane taking place on March 13, 2018.

VIDEO: Don’t Call The Police Says Pittsburgh
On his Sunday show, Alex Jones covered news that Pittsburgh Pennsylvania police will no longer respond to calls that are not considered an ‘in-progress emergency’, according to a local news report.
“All over the western world they’ve defunded the police, but they’ve increased the police for spying and arresting people and censorship of citizens, but not if your daughter gets raped, not if somebody breaks into your house, and if you defend yourself you go to jail,” Jones said.

Don’t Repeat Mistakes of 2016, Warns Trump Lawyer
Attorney at law Robert Barnes joined Alex Jones on his Sunday show to discuss black swan events surrounding the 2024 election and delivered a message to his former client, President Donald Trump.
“They might try to pull a actual limited, what they call a limited nuclear war,” Barnes said.
Barnes went on to discuss the direct risks to Trump’s reelection campaign.
“The great risk, now that Trump is through the primaries, now that Trump is going to be on the ballot thanks to the Supreme Court’s good ruling, now that Trump has a chance to completely exit all the criminal cases due to the immunity case now before the Supreme Court, he can see the path to getting into the Presidency as he leads in the polls by overwhelming margins,” Barnes said
The attorney talked about the risk that the former President will once again appoint establishment figures, possibly leading to dire risks to Trump himself.
“The concern amongst people even within the Trump camp is that he’s taking that as a reason to revert back to 2020 Trump, and not 2024 Trump,” Barnes said. “And that includes he’s looking at Tim Scott as his Vice President, which would be a complete disaster and frankly would take away his life insurance if he actually tried to challenge the deep state once he got into power.”
Barnes stated that Scott is a worse version of Rhino Republican Mike Pence, and would be seen by the establishment as a preferable acting-president over Trump, should it come to that.

EU to Start Sending Russian Money to Ukraine This Summer
The European Commission is pressing ahead with its plan to give Kiev up to €3 billion ($3.2 billion) from profits generated by frozen Russian assets amid waning financial support from the US, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Brussels is fast-tracking the decision to seize the interest earned from the assets held at clearinghouse Euroclear, starting from February onwards, the article stated.
A first tranche of money could be sent to Kiev as early as July if Brussels can secure the approval of all bloc members, the outlet said, citing EU officials. The proposal is reportedly expected before a summit of EU leaders next week.
The West has frozen roughly $300 billion in holdings belonging to the Russian central bank since the start of the Ukraine conflict two years ago. Brussels-based clearing house Euroclear holds around €191 billion ($205 billion) of them and has accrued nearly €4.4 billion in interest over the past year.
According to the report, Brussels would disburse between €2 and €3 billion in revenue generated by frozen assets this year, depending on interest rates. EU officials estimate that overall profits derived from Russian funds held by Euroclear could reach €20 billion by 2027, the FT said.
The issue of tapping Russian assets has grown in importance since a $60 billion American aid package to Ukraine was blocked by the Republican-led US Congress, prompting Kiev to look for alternative donors to fund its war effort.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last month suggested using the proceeds to send weapons supplies to Ukraine rather than for reconstruction, as had been initially planned.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said earlier this month that the bloc could use windfall profits from frozen Russian assets to buy weapons for Ukraine through the European Peace Facility, an off-budget mechanism being used to funnel weapons to Ukraine. According to the FT, bloc members are currently negotiating a €5 billion boost for the fund, as well as options to invest in the Ukrainian defense industry.
Meanwhile, a number of Western countries remain divided over expropriating Russia’s frozen assets to aid Ukraine. While the US and UK support the direct seizure of the assets, some EU member states, including France and Germany, have recently warned that the move could negatively affect financial stability and erode trust in the euro’s status as a reserve currency.
Moscow has warned that it will respond in kind if the West goes through with threats to confiscate Russian assets that are blocked abroad. The finance ministry warned last month that Western states themselves still have holdings in Russia that could be jeopardized if the frozen funds were tapped.

AI, Palm Scanners, Facial Recognition, Augmented Reality And More: The Dystopian Future is Now
People often say that, unless something is done to stop it, the world will become a dystopian nightmare at some point in the future. The reality, though, is that we are already there.
Just in the past several years, advancements in things like AI (artificial intelligence), cashless payment systems, augmented reality and more have happened so quickly that one could argue that we are in dystopia right now – though there is still much more to come.
Unless some kind of black swan event puts an immediate stop to it, the dystopian future will rapidly become the dystopian present – and in many ways it already is.
Take palm scanning, for instance. Paying for food and other items with a swipe of the hand rather than with cash or credit used to be a futuristic concept from the Book of Revelation. However, some stores are already using it, including Whole Foods Market and its parent company Amazon at its Amazon Fresh stores.
“The palm-recognition system works by linking a user’s payment information with their unique palm print,” explains The Exposé (United Kingdom). “If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can also link it with your Prime account – no need to fumble in the Amazon app looking for your in-store code any longer.”
“At Whole Foods, you just hover your palm over the reader once you’re ready to pay and the system will find your Prime account, apply any discounts and charge the credit card you enrolled with.”

When reality becomes a video game
What about facial recognition systems? At the recent G20 gathering of dystopian globalist leaders in Brazil, every attendee was forced “to pass a biometric validation process by scanning their faces using Serpro’s stand devices.”
Serpro, by the way, is a Brazilian government-run data processing agency that plans to unleash facial recognition all across the land. In order to buy and sell in the near future, one will probably have to undergo a face scan, as well as pay with the swipe of the hand rather than with cash or credit.
“If they can start getting this technology in place, it will inevitably be adopted by more and more institutions,” The Exposé warns. “And then someday you may wake up and find that you can’t get a job, open a bank account or buy groceries without having your face scanned – What will you do then?”
Apple just released its infamous Apple Vision Pro augmented reality headset to “augment reality” on a continual basis, making day-to-day life more of a video game than actual reality. This will tie in well with facial recognition and palm-scanning payment systems.
“Apple claims that the Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499, is the beginning of something called ‘spatial computing,’ which basically boils down to running apps all around you,” The Exposéexplains.
“And the company’s ads for it do not hedge that pressure even a little: they show people wearing the Vision Pro all the time. At work! Doing laundry! Playing with their kids! The ambition is enormous: to layer apps and information over the real world – to augment reality.”
Then there is Elon Musk’s new Neuralink brain implant chip, which will turn humans into transhumanist robot hybrids. For some reason, a lot of conservatives love Musk because he says a lot of conservative-pandering things on X, but the guy is all about destroying humanity and turning everyone into hybrid computers.
Human life is sacred, as is the natural world around us, but Musk and others like him want to destroy it by “augmenting” or “hybridizing” the natural world, humans included, with computers. Just say no, as the late Nancy Reagan once said.
