Er, What’s The Big Secret That Forced Mike Pence To Cancel An Event Today?

You don’t see a bulletin like this every day:

Er, what's the big secret that forced Mike Pence to cancel an event today? That triggered a wave of murmuring across political Twitter. Was everything okay?

Absolutely no cause for concern, insisted White House officials. There’s no medical issue with Trump or Pence. But yes, “something came up.”

And no, you’re not allowed to know what that thing is. Even though it was sufficiently urgent that the vice president of the United States had to cancel an event and return not just to Washington but to the White House. He’s on the job — which, one would think, rules out some personal or medical issue in the Pence family.

Pence’s spokesman insists there’s no cause for alarm. And no, you can’t know what’s up. Sorry.

”You mean “caterpillar drive”?”

No, they’re “pumpjets”; more like a ducted fan on an aircraft. Instead of a standard screw, they have essentially a many-bladed turbine surrounded by a shroud. My understanding is that in addition to directly reducing noise, this configuration also prevents cavitation.

Why this planet needs is more aliens! Nothing will make us aware of our shared humanity than some weird creatures from another galaxy!

Your hilarity contains more truth than you know. My Debka PRO subscription — containing privileged info not available to public or regular subs — states that an underwater “UFO” of the type observed by Nimitz aviators in 2004 temporarily disabled all three subs. Certain information will be revealed to the public in “several weeks”.

As propulsion advances so does sound detection and analysis. We could (sorry AOC) hear fish farting in the 70’s. Quiet is nice as long as all the machinery is quiet and sound isolated. Advancements in anything about war fighting breeds a response in enemy developments. It just is what it is.

It’s my understanding that Mrs. Beasley was scheduled to have a tea party today and Uncle Bill, I mean VP Pense, had promised to attend with Buffy and Jody. But he forgot. When the staff reminded him he immediately turned the plane around to attend.

I was in Orlando during the Cuban Missile crisis - one night there were planes going overhead constantly. It felt like they were keeping some planes in the air - ready to fly out. (My uncle was an Air Force pilot back then so I know they can get those SAC bombers up in no time... )

My theory:

There IS something going on important. But it has little to do with Russia. This submarine story has been planted as a misdirection. Russia may even be in on the misdirection, as Putin and President Trump just had a meeting at the G20. Since the White House responded with, "you'll know in a couple of weeks," it seems like whatever is happening is completely under their control, which a submarine incident with Russia would not be. I don't know what it is about, but I would guess either North Korea, or the deep state.

They don't actually send Chaplains. Just whatever Military Officer is nearby. My brother was an officer that manned the notification desk at Randolph AFB, in charge of dispatching officers around the countryside.

My neighbor is a retired Command Sgt Major/SMSGT with 39 years. He pointed out to me that quite often the next of kin is family at the deceased's duty station and not Mother and Father in a remote home of record. In that case the commander does the notification and may bring others such as a Chaplain or Sgt Major/ First Shirt.

That suffers from translation. Were there three subs involved ? Why did Russians die if the escort sub fired ?

Well you would have to admit, DC being as leakproof as it is still no news is remarkable. Dems wouldn’t leak indictments and the WH would hold it close so no one leaves the country.

My brother was a bomb loader down there at that time.

At a non-disclosed airfield somewhere in FL.

Said they spread those things ALL OVER the place down south.

My sister was stationed in lower Michigan at a SAC base during the LBJ administration. Just about all the crews were in SE Asia at the time and all she got to do was take care of the drunken wives of those crewmen. She was a head nurse in the hospital there.
Funny. They asked her after basic where she wanted to be stationed. She told them Germany or Alaska. She ended up down in Lower Michigan. Boy, she is still miffed about that.

as an ex-submariner, I’ve been very worried about this all day. Sadly I can’t find any other source but debka. I can only pray their article is fake news.
