FAA Admits ‘Unintentionally Deleted Files’ Caused Jan 11 Mass System Failure, Nationwide Flight Chaos.

Breitbart: Oops: FAA Admits ‘Unintentionally Deleted Files’ Caused Jan 11 Mass System Failure, Nationwide Flight Chaos.

A red faced U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) admitted Thursday its staff “unintentionally deleted files” in a key computer system causing the January 11 commercial airline ground stop, which affected more than 11,000 flights and caused mayhem for travelers.

Reuters reports the FAA said the human error occurred while personnel were working “to correct synchronisation between the live primary database and a backup database”, and it had “so far found no evidence of a cyber attack or malicious intent.”
[.]
Last week, a group of 120 members of Congress demanded answers from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the FAA about the system fiasco.

The lawmakers, led by new House Transportation Committee chairman Sam Graves, a Republican from Missouri, called the computer outage “completely unacceptable.”

So...it wasn't 30-Year old software like the FAA originally said?

Former Vice President Al Gore said that “greenhouse gas pollution” was “boiling the oceans,” causing “rain bombs,” and creating “climate refugees” during remarks at a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.

Gore joined a panel discussion ostensibly examining what the WEF and the White House regularly describe as a “climate crisis” driven by consumption of fossil fuels. One of the panel’s hosts framed it as a “planetary crisis” driving “mass extinction” while “really putting humanity’s future at risk.”

Ravi Srinivasan, TIFF programmer dies suddenly, age 37.

The Globe and Mail: Ravi Srinivasan, TIFF programmer and ‘champion’ of Canadian film community, dies at 37.

Ravi Srinivasan, senior manager of festival programming for the Toronto International Film Festival and a “champion” of the Canadian film community, has died at age 37.

“We are saddened and shocked to learn of the sudden passing of our colleague and friend Ravi Srinivasan. As a programmer, champion for filmmakers, and director of his own hometown film festival in Sarnia, Ravi was known to many for his passion, his generosity and the joy he brought to cinema,” Cameron Bailey, chief executive of TIFF, said in a statement late Sunday.

Word on the message boards say he had the initial two Clotshots and at least one, if not two, ClotBoosters.

This is sad. It's virtually impossible to keep current with the number of people who have "died suddenly".

The Bi-valent Booster for Teh COOF offers no extra protection.

Health Day: Bivalent COVID Boosters Offer No Extra Protection, Studies Suggest.

Key Takeaways:

Two new studies show that the updated COVID boosters from Pfizer and Moderna are no better at guarding against infection than the original shots are[.]

"Imprinting" may be at play, where the body already recognizes the virus so it doesn't react to a newer vaccine[.]

But experts [Ah..."Teh Experts!" - DD] are divided on the continuing value of boosters, and some say ["some say." How reassuring! -  DD] older, high-risk folks can still see benefits from the newer booster[.]
[.]
The new mRNA bivalent boosters produced by Moderna and Pfizer only attack the COVID-19 virus about as well as the companies' first-wave vaccines, according to a blood testing study led by renowned virologist Dr. David Ho, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Columbia University, in New York City.

The bivalent shots also failed to promote higher antibody levels or a better immune response than the original COVID-19 vaccines, according to another study led by Dr. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston. Both studies were published online Jan. 11 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Oh, Drake, that's "Health Day" -  what do they know?

Well, here are the links to the studies:

The Epoch Times: FDA Adviser Says Young and Healthy People Shouldn’t Get Latest COVID Boosters.

“I believe we should stop trying to prevent all symptomatic infections in healthy, young people by boosting them with vaccines containing mRNA from strains that might disappear a few months later,” wrote Dr. Paul A. Offit, an FDA vaccine panel adviser and professor of pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, in New England Journal of Medicine on Jan. 11.

In his article, Offit cited two studies suggesting that bivalent boosters, which target the original COVID-19 strain and two Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA. 5, do not “elicit superior immune responses.”
[.]
An FDA spokesperson Abigail Capobianco responded to Offit’s article this week, telling NBC News that Offit allegedly used “selective” data to reach his conclusions and that “we strongly believe that the totality of the available evidence continues to support the use of these vaccines in all age groups.”

Dr. Offit is entitled to his opinion about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 bivalent vaccines used as boosters,” Capobianco also said.
[.]
“I was angry to find out that there was data that was relevant to our decision that we didn’t get to see,” Offit told CNN. “Decisions that are made for the public have to be made based on all available information—not just some information, but all information.”

Abigail Capobianco is a Press Officer for the FDA. Her degrees in Medicine or Science? None.

According to Capobianco's LinkedIN, she has a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Health Communication from Emerson College and a BA in Journalism from Northeastern College. In other words, she's just an FDA Spin Doctor.

There's nothing wrong with the degrees she has, but she's not a Medical Doctor. She has no business or the credentials to be giving or providing medical advice on any level. 

Looks ghoulish. I wouldn't trust her on any issue.

30-Year old software blamed for FAA outage. Or...something else.

MSN: The software blamed for FAA outage is three decades old and years from an upgrade.

The software that failed and forced the Federal Aviation Administration to ground thousands of flights on Wednesday is 30 years old and not scheduled to be updated for another six years, according to a senior government official.

This system was installed in 1993 and runs the Notice to Air Missions system, or NOTAM, which sends pilots vital information they need to fly, the official said.
[.]
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told NBC News that he has asked the FAA, "to make sure that there are enough safeguards built into the system that this level of disruption can't happen because of an individual person’s decision or action or mistake."

Is Petey saying someone F'ed Up? But - but - the senior official said it was software

Another un-named "senior government official." Do these people have names? Can we know who they are? They are on government payroll.

The MSN story and coverage of this story at NBC and CNN are copy/paste versions of the same story. Why, it's almost like they're parroting talking points handed down from Leni Riefenstahl's DNC Narrative Central!

Yet, al-Reuters reports the problem was a "procedural error."

The FAA said its preliminary analysis "determined that a data file was damaged by personnel who failed to follow procedures. The system is functioning properly." The FAA did not answer more questions about the specifics of the problem.
[.]
The same file corrupted both the main system and its backup, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified.

Enter, "people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified."

So, we really don't know and it's unlikely we'll have a, or any, specific reason(s) for this fiasco.

Dem Hank Johnson floats theory Docs planted in Biden's garage.

FOX News (Yahoo): Democrat suggests classified docs in Biden's home, office may have been 'planted' after second batch found.

Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said he isn't ruling out foul play in the discovery of classified documents found in President Biden's possession, suggesting they could have been planted.

"Alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden… I’m suspicious of the timing of it," Johnson told Fox News' Hillary Vaughn on Thursday after a second batch of documents was found in the president's garage in Wilmington, Delaware. "I'm also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people... things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here. I'm not ruling that out. But I'm open in terms of the investigation needs to be investigated."

FAA computer outage or Russian hack?

Flights across the United States were affected Wednesday morning after the Federal Aviation Administration said it experienced a computer outage.

All flights in the U.S. were grounded following the incident, a source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The FAA said in a notice on its website that its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system had "failed" Wednesday morning. A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to workers involved in flight operations.

CNN: US grounded planes as a ‘precaution’ after a North Korean missile launch.

Updated 1:37 PM EST, Tue January 11, 2022

Washington (CNN Business) - An unusual ground stop was issued to some pilots for a short period of time following a North American Aerospace Defense Command alert of a launch of a North Korean missile, a US official said Tuesday.

“No warning was issued by NORAD HQ,” regarding a potential threat to the US, according to Captain Pamela Kunze, the chief NORAD spokesperson.

The Federal Aviation Administration, responsible for the nation’s air traffic control system, said the ground stop was to err on the side of safety.

FOX News (MSN): Hamline University professor fired for showing images of Muhammad had warned students in syllabus.

A Minnesota liberal arts professor who was allegedly fired after showing students images of Muhammad in a class about Islamic art warned students about the works in the syllabus.

Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor at Hamline University, issued a syllabus warning students that the class would contain images of holy figures, including the prophet Muhammad and the Buddha, according to a New York Times report Sunday. Students were told they could contact her with any concerns about the course material, but none did, according to the report.

Prater also reportedly warned students that a painting containing an image of Muhammad was going to be displayed a few minutes ahead of time, giving anyone who might be offended by such imagery an opportunity to leave the classroom.

Despite the multiple warnings, a senior student in the class later complained to administrators about the imagery and picked up support from Muslim students who were not in the class, resulting in Prater not being welcomed back to the school and setting off national controversy surrounding academic freedom.

Some people were offended by something they didn't see!

Did you watch Tulsi Gabbard subbing for Tucker tonight?

What a self-righteous bitch. Tulsi dug into newly elected Republican George Santos (R-NY) for, I guess, lies he told prior to his election. Shocker! A politician, of either party, lied? This must be the first time.

Tulsi interrupted him, cut him off verbally and her pious and holier than thou demeanor was vomit inducing.

She's a lifelong Democrat, served eight years as a House Rep and just like that, in 2022 changed her political identification to, "Independent." Funny, we never heard a peep from her about the lies told by her fellow Dems during her House tenure nor did she hold them to the same standard she applied to Santos.

She served a four-year term as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.

She endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016.

She's for legalization of all drugs. Great! We don't have enough OD's happening on a daily basis and there's all sorts of room available at ERs and tons of available money to deal with this problem.

Her first marriage lasted only four years. No surprise here for me.

Many stories appear of her being a member of Klaus Schwab's (Young Global Leaders) Word Economic Forum. She denies this, yet, there's no proof she wasn't.

None of this excuses Santos' embellishment of his past. What it does is it shines a bright light on Tulsi's blatant hypocrisy.

Oh look! Tulsi making one of the NWO hand gestures. No one who does this does it accidentally. She's a two-faced cunt.

I think she's a complete fake. What's her angle?

Mall of America shooting Update.

MSN: Charging extension granted in MOA fatal shooting: "Evidence continues to be reviewed".

Johntae Hudson, 19, succumbed to his injuries after being shot inside the Nordstrom department store on Friday.

Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says it appears there was a physical altercation prior to the shooting. ["It appears." ??? - WTF? - DD] Videos posted on social media show shoppers hiding in stores. Some videos show shoppers running for cover after a loud bang is heard. One bystander's coat was grazed by a bullet.

The day after the shooting, police announced five people were arrested in St. Louis Park in connection to the shooting. The individuals arrested include three 17-year-old boys and two 18-year-old men. They are being held on pending charges of second-degree murder, police said.
[.]
"We know the how, we know the where, we know the what and we know the who. We don't know the why," Hodges said. [Does "why" need to be specifically articulated when someone is shot to death? - DD]

Gov. Tim Walz said after the shooting that the violence at the mall on Friday night was "absolutely unacceptable." He said he was in touch with local officials to provide support and resources.

This is the second lockdown Mall of America has gone on this year--shots fired outside the Nike store prompted a lockdown in August. On New Year's Eve of 2021, the mall went into lockdown after two people were shot on the third level of the mall.

Walz: "absolutely unacceptable." Mmm-huh. Way to go out on a limb there, Fat Man. This, from the guy who was...allegedly...too inebriated to make rational decisions and deploy the National Guard during the 2020 Floyd riots, mayhem, looting and the destruction/arson/burning of nearly 400 properties in Minneapolis. 

More - KSTP: Police: Charging deadline extended for cases stemming from fatal Mall of America shooting.

According to police, a charging extension has been granted, meaning charges from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will be due at 12 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28.

The charges must also be filed against all five suspects by that time.

As previously reported, five people – including three 17-year-olds – have been arrested. They have yet to be identified by police due to their age status as minors. Two others, 18-year-olds Taeshawn Wright and Deandre Depratto, are also suspected of playing a role in Friday’s shooting.

Police believe either Wright or Depratto pulled the trigger and killed 19-year-old Raymon Hudson of St. Paul at some point during a fight involving nine people in the mall’s Nordstrom store Friday evening.

No idea why one story refers to the decedent's first name as Johntae and the other story as Raymon. There aren't many reliable news sources in the Twin Cities.

Walz is a disaster. In everything. He is a successful boozehound. At least that's the chatter from inside the Governor's Mansion. Crack open another case of PBR you obese grifter.

Is attorney Ben Crump in town? Hmmmmm...probably not since it doesn't seem the shooter(s) is/are white.

You got that right, Anthony!

Sorry for the delay in getting to comments.

Usually on Christmas Day I make the rounds to blogs and sites and wish a Merry Christmas to all. I was under the weather yesterday.

Christmas Eve Day, and Eve, I felt fine. We had a busy day. Had dinner. Opened gifts Saturday night. It was all good.

Sunday morning, around 4AM or so, I felt it coming...and puked my guts out. Then, the headache came. Then the chills. Went back to bed. Slept most of the day. No nasal or lung congestion, no sore throat, no body aches, no fever. Just a moderate dry cough that really put a dent into my enjoyment of cigarettes. No one else got sick, so I'm ruling out that it was anything we ate.

Woke up at 6PM Christmas Day. Logged on and planned to update the comments but the stamina wasn't there.  Everyone else spent Christmas Day at the house of a relative for the day, so I was home alone, mostly sleeping except for breaks for GatorAde, getting something in my stomach and dosing multi-vitamins, extra C, D, and Zinc and Emergen-C, which for me, is a miracle cure anytime I'm feeling under the weather.

Checking online for "Covid symptoms" is such a bunch of BS. "Covid may or may not produce a DRY cough." "A headache may or may not precede the onset of covid." What a crock; "may or may not."

I'm now enjoying coffee and cigarettes, so I'm on the rebound, but going to take it easy for the day. It appears my immune system is working as designed! Amen for that!

I plan the music videos out a week or more ahead of time, so that's why they're always there.

I'm so sorry I didn't make the rounds to wish those on my Blog Roll a Merry Christmas on Christmas. I hope everyone had a wonderful day and that this week, and New Year's Eve, is enjoyed by all.

Now, onto publishing and replying to comments that I didn't get to.

Mall of America shooting update.

Boston.com: Police: 19-year-old killed in shooting at Mall of America.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — A teenager was killed during a shooting at the Mall of America on Friday that sent frightened customers at the nation’s largest shopping center racing into a lockdown just before the holiday weekend, police said.

Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said the victim was a 19-year-old man. A bystander’s jacket was also grazed by a bullet during the shooting at the mall’s Nordstrom location.

There appeared to be some type of altercation between two groups and at one point, someone pulled out a gun and shot the victim multiple times, the chief said. The entire incident lasted about 30 seconds.

Hodges urged the gunman and the others involved in the fight to turn themselves into police.

“We are going to catch you, we are going to lock you up and you are going to get an orange jumpsuit,” he said. “It’s just a matter of when it’s going to happen.”
