BALTIMORE UPDATE: Analysis from specialists in predictive behavioral analytics, counter-terrorism, hazardous materials, maritime attacks, cyber, national security & intel - this is their view:
X ^ | 3/27/24 | Lara Logan

Based on their training & experience, they believe this was two types of operation:

1) “Penetration testing” where they are probing/testing to identify vulnerabilities in our responses and defences,

AND

2) a shaping operation to set the conditions and prepare the battlefield for a potential future event.

Let's start with the simplest explainations, shall we?

Sampling and analysis of fuel from the ship. Is there water or other comtaminants that could have caused a loss of power?

Rudder position when power was lost (black box data).

Wind speed and direction. Did the wind acting on all those empty container cause it to veer out of the channel?

We can get all Zapruder later.

we know (because they’ve admitted it) that terrorists have entered the country

Why do you believe one word that comes out of their lying mouths?

If they "admitted" it, they did so for a reason, and it's probably to increase control and surveillance of normal Americans.

There is an amazing number of people who have never been on a ship in their lives who are now experts on how container ships move. Simply amazing.

You can’t say that about me. I have paddled miles and miles in a canoe. That is the extent of my seafaring expertise. I have never tried to infer anything otherwise. That being said, my background in watching the FBI lie and misdirect is extensive, a professional level of knowledge on that subject.

You’re talking to the wrong guy, I’m no seafarer. I do have fifty years experience of fueling engines. I have never misfueled an engine as you describe. That’s me with cars, tractors, motorcycles and mowers. Maybe the level of expertise to properly fuel a ship that, with cargo, is worth hundreds millions isn’t so high as mine fueling the rototiller.

Our country is being destroyed from the inside out. MORE TO COME.

“Who” is behind it ALL?

I don’t want to say “aliens”, but aliens.

It was a general comment.

I spent 2 years on a Navy Destroyer in the WestPac. 390ft long and 3600 tons. Sometimes, especially when low on fuel, it would pop around like a cork. Each bunk came equipped with two straps to keep you from falling out at night in rough seas. Sometimes when walking along a corridor you could put your foot on the wall. Ships, no matter the size, are at the mercy of winds and tides.

Water always wins.

Did the ship owner cheap out on maintenance and neglect the powerplant?

“Water always wins”

I have to laugh……The very first comment made by instructors in my 16 week power squadron classes.

LOL!!!

That was a DELIBERATE VERY HARD RIGHT TURN INTO THE PYLON and accomplished by manual steering.

Even Ray Charles can see that...and he’s blond and dead.

You can LOL!!! all you want. Doesn't change the fact that your speculative claims are based on pure ignorance.

Go read this thread: the facts are starting to come in.

Hey AugieDoggie,

Give the media, the Biden regime and Hollywood enough time to get their stories straight.

“Or initiated by the port side anchor that was dropped at the order of the harbor pilot who was on board.”

The port side anchor would have spun it to port, not starboard.

Last I read it had not been determined due to damage whether the starboard anchor had been dropped.

I said read the thread, not the news article at the top of the thread.

I know better than to declare a BY GOD fact based on one video from a single perspective.

Did you intentionally neglect to answer my query regarding your experience at the helm of any sort of watercraft?

And I’d love to hear the basis of your certainty that the turn into the bridge was deliberate? Were you in the wheelhouse with the harbor pilot?

You are clearly deaf, dumb & blind. Seriously.

You must be one of those Feds pretending to be a patriot....or just a male transvestite with a serious mental disorder.

So a guy whose background is in seeing everything as an attack sees it as an attack. When all you’ve got is a hammer...
