F-35 Software Requiring Hard Reboots While Airborne
Jane's reports that the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Developed by and for the armed forces of the United States and its allies has a new quirk gathering public attention (archived). Well, several quirks but the most notable is a software glitch that interferes with the aircraft's mission readiness by requiring hard reboots during flight to restore functionality to the radar. So far the F-35's ability to hemorrhage funds printed for the United States Department of Defense has lead to the early end of production for the more capable F-22 fighter, threatened the end of life for the more capable A-10 ground attack aircraft, and ended or hindered an uncountable other number of other things which may have been less embarrassing ends to direct the United States Government's money printing machine than the F-35. Sorry for your loss and peace in our time.
Mainstream Media Hyping US Legacy In Iraq: Iraqi Made Chemical Weapons
Numerous stories are saturating mainstream media today heralding the capture of and Iraqi chemist aligned with ISIS/ISIL (archived). A substantial strain of hopium embedded in this coverage is optimism that this might lead to a reduction or perhaps even the end of chemical weapons deployments by ISIS/ISIL. Back in 2003 United States president George W. Bush made the state of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons manufacturing in Iraq a cornerstone of his case for invading Iraq and deposing their government. Thirteen years later Iraq is no longer a country which has gone more than a decade without fielding chemical weapons in anger. There isn't any serious discussion of biological or nuclear weapons being produced any of the new regimes in Iraq yet, but one out of three isn't bad.
Leaked Voicemails Show Donald Trump-Clinton Cozy With Liberal Media
A number of leaked voicemails show New York con artist and politician Donald Trump-Clinton's warm, cozy relationship with members of the leftist media. Despite the character Trump-Clinton plays on television presenting an adversarial relationship with the mainstream media, the leaked messages show affection for Trump demonstrated by NBC personalities as diverse as Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Tamron Hall (archived).

Government Accountability Office Declines To Offer Opinion On Worthless USG Finances
As has happened every year since 1997 during the height of the first1 Clinton presidency the United States Government Accountability Office has declined to offer an opinion on the United States Goverment's consolidated finances (archived). This is due to the impossibility of rendering an opinion with the financial statements from numerous department being so broken as to lack all meaning whatsoever. In other words the finances of the United States Government are in the same shape they have been since Bush I, Clinton I, Bush II, and Obama managed to lose the Cold War years after the Soviet Union collapsed.
At this point BitBet odds presume either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Donald Trump Clinton will usher in a second Clinton presidency. ↩
2015 IRS Breach Estimate Revised Upwards To 720,000 Records
The estimated number of taxpayer's records taken in a breach the IRS waited until May 2015 to confirm has been revised from nearly 100,000 to roughly 720,000 in a new figure (archived). In August 2015 the figure was quietly revised upwards to 330,000 records. The substantial increase coming with each new revised figure for a single breach suggests the IRS has no idea how many records have been accessed, and they are further incapable of knowing until they have been scammed. Sorry for your loss.
Bankruptcy Artist Promotes Easier Libel Suits
Bankruptcy artist and the front runner for the United States presidential nomination from that state's other socialist party Donald Trump is now stumping for legislation that would expand libel torts available for use against news outlets (archived). This comes as Trump's campaign rival Marco Rubio today began raising concerns about Trump's business failures, his endorsement of blatant scams, and his advanced age. If Trump wins the presidency he would be 70 years old when sworn in to office making urinary incontinence a serious risk with substantial potential for national embarrassment if it manifested when meeting with foreign dignitaries. Hillary Clinton, the front runner for the nomination from the United States' primary socialist party, is one year younger than Trump, but has given birth to a child. This according to population trends means it is a near certainty she already has substantial experience handling urinary crises during public appearances.
Bridges Suspected Of Having Unknown Accomplices As Sound Money Undermines Fiat Loyalties
The saga of Shaun Bridges who was turned from the fiat order by the power of sound money, and who was rearrested the day before he was to surrender to prison has gotten more interesting. Behold, prosecutors are refusing to allow the unsealing of their latest warrant aimed at Bridges because they claim unknown allies of Bridges remain at large. It appears the investigation into the Silk Road by United States Government agents has been far more damaging to the USG's cause than any operation of the Silk Road has. Witness: Continue reading
Khmer Rouge Leader Pleas Social Justice In Court
Rare surviving Khmer Rouge leader Khieu Samphan in appealing his life sentence for crimes against humanity plead to a United Nations supported court that his only fight was for "social justice" (archived). Of course the Khmer Rouge's atrocities were the natural end of the social justice agenda, an agenda which is returning to vogue in certain circles. The social justice agenda notably dismisses concerns over actual justice to instead elevate social equality as their first principle. In this way the Khmer Rouge was an exemplar! All are equal under the yoke, and the 750,000 to 3,000,000 who died1 in Khmer Rouge atrocities were the most equal of all!
The wide uncertain range persists because the Khmer Rouge was just that effective in suppressing the individual in the name of social equality/justice. ↩
Government, Banks Assault Rural Indian Culture
The India Times reports that the government is calling on banks to assist an attack on thousands of years of cultural tradition by assualting the beloved practice of open defecation in rural India (archived). This call comes despite the fact that many toilets stand unused or abandoned as they are rejected by defenders of this cultural heritage (archived). A report released in 2014 by the World Health Organization and UNICEF states that India has a 50% open defecation rate.
