So you couldn't hack the ship and it can't be controlled remotely. But then you have this . . .

<<With the electronics that we now have, they plug into the ship’s electronic chart data information system. And then they conduct the pilot exchange with the master of the vessel, where the master of the vessel describes where they are going, what the characteristics of the ship are, who’s on the bridge, what their first language is and the air draft of the vessel, which refers to how high out of the water the vessel is, so that you know whether you can take the ship under a bridge safely.>>

So what if someone messed with this? It looked like the ship was off course the whole way.

I'm still thinking it's a lot of human error, but the things that suggest otherwise is if there is indeed time missing on the recording, the Biden admin is indeed trying to cut off an insurance investigation, and the squealing about "conspiracy theories." I mean, you really couldn't have made a bigger mess if you'd tried.

Yes. I might have been a little more clear that cyber hacking was the nearly impossible variant. But the old fashioned in person physical hacking would be possible with a controlled pilot.

One thing about these harbor pilots. They are among the most knowledgeable professionals about something minutely specific in the world. A neurosurgeon is a carpenter by comparison. That pilot in Baltimore would be almost useless in New Orleans. Or Shanghai. He knows that river and that harbor under every conceivable weather, tide, and light condition there is. He is 1000% authorized to stop, defer, cancel, or proceed any craft requiring his service for any reason. This is not a professional who "just makes mistakes". A bad day has him off course by single digit yards, not 600 yards or more. Unless there's consideration of what makes that actually happen, there won't be a real answer because "human error" doesn't happen in those sequences of events. Greased human does.

An investigation would show if he or anyone else in contact with the "crime" had reason for acting so out of character. Ordinarily, we would have seen dozens of character witnesses swearing he held church services on board every day. Instead we don't even have his initials.

Just remember every critical occupation has been infiltrated. Remember the Tylenol poisoning? Shelf stocker. The George Floyd funeral? Funeral homes. Scam death? Police, Mayor. Citizen photographers. Trial? Judge, jury, attorneys. All of those were or can be actors. This kind of event takes a specialization that is so rare it lies in only a few dozen people in the whole world. It's possible with the path that ship took that A harbor pilot but not usually a Baltimore specialist was at the helm. Then the master harbor authority was the compromised link (directly under the mayor). The NTSB would know if this character was a substitute for a really qualified one. And that spreads all the way around the circle.

But it is the LAW to investigate accidents just as fully as criminal acts. So if there's no investigation or a cheap, shoddy, fake one - what does that say? The investigating authorities are in on it too. All the way up to FJB.

That ship was appropriated by criminals and used as a weapon of mass destruction. If it's a hologram, how much more like 911 can it get? Even if it's not, the whole incident has a very mirrored quality to that one. Even down to a date that has evident significance. 26th. Not quite as fancy, but being used especially hard in this war nearly every month!

And you got it in one there. One sentence. They couldn't have produced a bigger mess if they tried. Except for a Sum of All Fears scenario. Dirty bomb on a ship sails into the Baltimore harbor from a Ukrainian(!) source. Gets delivered to a football stadium where the President is enjoying a Sunday game. And BQQM happens. Where is Jack Ryan?

I hadn’t noticed the lights in previous watching but he’s right. I’m a rank novice but have owned boats that I’ve used in San Diego, Lake Powell, and other bodies of water where navigating inlets or difficult areas was required.

I think your answer to Lillia is a post unto itself. I have to admit that even as cynical as I am some of these events that are happening are still mind bending. I’m just a simple guy trying to build a studio/practice facility for my granddaughter to practice with her band. I’m trying to get away from the news, but keep getting dragged back. I use your posts. You draw from so many sources I don’t have to go chasing. Thanks.

Unfortunately we live in a fractured (then fractured again!) information war world. We always have but it's just at an extremity point now. News has become distraction; there is never a whodunit ending anymore. We're on our own for figuring stuff out. For 9/11 they gave us Al Qaeda. But for this they give us "Accidents happen". Both lies. We are the truth finders - we are the news now.

The takeaways from these stories is that we live in a dividing world. Nothing is sweet or pure, if it ever has been. But still we have extreme contrasts. The US polls place public perception of our level of "democracy" present in our government in the toilet. In China they are positive their government is "democratic". Russians can sleep at night because even after a day like Crocus City, they have a leader with overwhelming support. Americans have FJB and FBI. No sleep again!

The earth is fixing itself. One layer at a time. Everything that is internally broken will collapse. Everything that is pure and strong will remain. This is the collapse of Western Civilization. Not along artificial boundaries, though. Along the essence of being, heart and soul. The pure of heart will prevail. It is something like the scene in Game of Thrones when Denarius comes out of the fire with three baby dragons. Prepare for magic, though. There's no war on the other side of this fire.

I do this in part as a mental record for myself. But mostly to help others find that there's more good in what is happening than bad. (Mixed movies - that's a Samwise Gamgee metaphor!). Every time these evil systems are exposed a little more light shines. More light means less darkness for them to slither around in. Pretty soon they're going to be in the last dark corner on earth (maybe the US Capitol?) and then it's lights on after that is destroyed.

But since so many people don't realise the significance of this time it must happen in stages and scenes to prepare them for the final curtain call on the movie of Life As We've Known It. And then see that life outside of that movie theater (Matrix!) is better than we can even begin to imagine.
