General Michael Flynn joins Alex Jones live to give his expert analysis of the Baltimore barge-bridge disaster.
General Flynn said the ship violated multiple maritime SOPs and that he does not rule out terrorism. He also said the harbor master had a lot to answer for.
1:28 AM in Baltimore is 1:28 PM in Beijing. People go back to work at the hacking combine after lunch.
This is what I call a good accident.
It’s better to have something like this happen when we’re at peace. As it exposes weaknesses and bottlenecks in our infrastructure.
It allows us not only to rebuild with redundancy but to look for other bottlenecks that need redundancy.
It might even be an opportunity for our military to test rapid bridge building.
I don’t think the Chinese are going to take responsibility for anything. When have they ever? The US even admits they may be further ahead in super computers than we are.

"Black swan" is a financial/economic term and has nothing to do with terrorism.
Black Swan in the Stock Market: What Is It, With Examples and History
What Is a Black Swan?
A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences.
Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight.
The term was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a finance professor, writer, and former Wall Street trader. Taleb wrote about the idea of a black swan event in a 2007 book prior to the events of the 2008 financial crisis. Taleb argued that because black swan events are impossible to predict due to their extreme rarity, yet have catastrophic consequences, it is important for people to always assume a black swan event is a possibility, whatever it may be, and to try to plan accordingly.1 Some believe that diversification may offer some protection when a black swan event does occur.
Taleb later used the 2008 financial crisis and the idea of black swan events to argue that if a broken system is allowed to fail, it actually strengthens it against the catastrophe of future black swan events. He also argued that conversely, a system that is propped up and insulated from risk ultimately becomes more vulnerable to catastrophic loss in the face of rare, unpredictable events.1
Taleb describes a black swan as an event that:
“Wrong for Alex Jones to sell products too?”
Alex Jones’ wildly popular suite of Infowars supplements probably won’t kill you, but extensive tests provided to BuzzFeed News have shown that they’re little more than overpriced and ineffective blends of vitamins and minerals that have been sold in stores for ages.
Oh, FFS.
This grifter will do or say anything to get his name out there and money in his pocket.

How’s that online dating service going Flynn?
That's according to DugwayDuke. Every time I post something from Alex Jones he spams it saying Jones has hundreds of millions of dollars (because that's his gross revenue) when he is broke from all the hoax lawsuits over Sandy Hook.
He also thinks selling health supplements is a scam (Jones' supplements are the best in the business because if they weren't he would be driven ot of business) and he shouldn't sell anything. He has no problem with corporate news getting 95% of their funding from Pfizer, though.
How many accounts do you post under, DugwayDuke?
Nope. It’s a mess but nowhere near a Black Swan event. There will be economic repercussions and people died. Prayers for their families. But this was not a Black Swan event. I suspect simply gross negligence by the shipping company and/or others.
Evidently you are unaware of all the undeclared wars the US feral government is currently engaged in and how all our money is going toward those wars and illegal alien invaders.
As Freud said: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
Unless there is overwhelming proof of a pre-planned false-flag or terrorism, the easiest and most logical explanation is simply: due to mechanical or human operator error, the vessel operators lost control in a difficult part of the river and hit a bridge.
The second, possibly first, largest port in the country is closed for years and it’s just a minor blip?
Ooooo-kay.
So you don't know what a Black Swan event is?
You just think you know because you know everything?

Any info yet on the name and curriculum vitae on the Baltimore Harbor Master??????
Also, info on the Coast Guard Commandant for Baltimore would be worthy investigating.

you make a lot of good and valid points
...but what if
we arent realllly at peace ?
( communist china never sleeps and we are still their sworn enemy )
“Boeing...but I place the blame on that on poor factory methods and hiring.”
There’s a government required reporting/tracking system both companies (Spirit and Boeing) were trying hard not to use because it is so awkward and difficult and time consuming. They therefor did a work around. Had they used the required system (and I understand completely why they didn’t want to) the problem would not have occurred. Also, when they sold part of the business to Spirit, they gave them a copy of a database. Since the copy was made, both companies have made countless changes to their database and, shockingly, the two databases are now different, which also apparently caused an issue. Also, I gather the Spirit employees where third-worlders with a different view of what is important. Instead of replacing the damaged rivets at the lip of the door, they just painted over them. There has been a plethora of similar problems created by and covered up by Spirit employees because they probably grew up in a different culture with a different view of what’s important.
I think the basic problem is Boeing no longer has absolute control over what happens to their planes. The two company cultures are not compatible, and I wouldn’t want to fly on anything built by Spirit employees, which is half of most Boeing planes. This problem is not going away. This isn’t quite as bad as taking someone from a mud hut in the jungle and putting them on a production line, but you get the flavor that it’s similar.
You don’t know much about maritime ports, I see. Baltimore? Seriously?
BTW, that is the 20th largest port by tonnage. Not even close to first or second. See https://www.bts.gov/content/tonnage-top-50-us-water-ports-ranked-total-tons
