Walz was right. These people are just weird. A company spent money creating this ad and getting it published because they have a rational belief they’ll make money on it.

I'm sure someone can explain to me why we even have anything related to Earhart classified after 88 years. Seems like we might be overdoing this classification business.

 

Not only that, but I remembered reading an article about remains found on a Pacific island, Nikumaroro in Kiribati, that were likely hers.

The reanalysis of the skeletal data was done by a very prominent forensic anthropologist, one whose opinion on such matters we cannot simply dismiss as he was a leader in the field. Unfortunately, it cannot be conclusive as the bones disappeared long ago, so all Jantz had to work with was the recorded data. I haven't looked at the data myself, so I'm not going to make any conclusive statements one way or another, just that if I had to pick a side, I would appeal to Jantz's opinion until I saw good evidence to the contrary. I wouldn't expect there to be many white female skeletal remains on such a remote Pacific island (if the skeletal was indeed male, then that is obviously a different matter - I have analyzed thousands of skeletal remains, for the record).

 

One of the frustrating things about Trump is that each one of us knows we could destroy him in an interview, any interview, if we were just allowed to make him answer questions. For whatever reason our journos can’t do that.

How do we know that?

All the other things happening on that island and this is the one you think is impossible?

The LEGAL but embarrassing thing is the one you think couldn't happen?

The island was a blackmail factory creating collateral for a black market lending operation. There are probably pictures of Trump with Andrew's prince in his mouth too.

Even if it wasn't, they're white men of a certain age and from a certain class background. Like W and many others, they never grew up. The things they do in private among themselves to build camaraderie range from the embarrassing to the illegal every single day. If Epstein's island was nothing else, it was rich kids camp for all these rich guys in arrested development. Ones from every walk of politics and business, and that circle was infiltrated by every spying agency on this planet that had an asset that could fit the profile of a client or a worker. The ones that weren't in direct contact with Epstein, that is.

Sorry I'm a little twitchy this morning, I have to have a fasting blood test later.

 

For some reason I'm thinking of Madison Cawthorn saying something about GOP sex orgies and cocaine parties.

 

Or the venture capital scene out west. Many people do bad things in their lives, but rich white guys do them as bonding.

 

As I put it in the Epstein thread, Trump is such a germophobe I doubt he’s ever given oral to anyone, not even Melania on her birthday. And then someone else added, he couldn’t imagine Trump doing something solely for someone else’s benefit. Although I can imagine Trump negotiating a 69 and then cheating on the deal. That definitely seems like something he’d do.

Bill Clinton doesn’t seem like a manscaper as well, so that’s another thing I can’t imagine Trump doing, getting down in there with the pubes.

Enjoy your breakfasts everyone!

 

It is my impression that there are two things arguing against the Nikumaroro theory: 1. That the last signal recieved by the Navy off Howland was much stronger than its predecessors, suggesting that they almost made it there but went down just over the horizon into deep water. The opinions of Navy radio operators in the late thirties deserve evidentiary respect, that perhaps the eyes of Navy lookouts searching for a plane or wreckage of one during the search do not. Fast forward the question to 1946 and the opposite would probably be true, but it wasn't postwar. and 2. that if they went down off Nikumaroro, one would expect to see some evidence of the plane, and the claims on that do not seem to have stood up to examination.

Neither objection is necessarily fatal-- typhoons can wash away the traces of larger artifacts than planes, and weather aberrations can mess with radio signals; but the radio guys knew that and were used to detecting that sort of illusion and mostly good at it, back when the technology was less sensitive, forcing the man using it to be more.

 

I’m not watching that.

 

Regarding the evidence of the plane, I was reading that an archaeological expedition from Purdue University was supposed to go to the island two weeks ago but were denied access by the Kiribati government (edit: sounds like some conspiracy theory bait). They were going to investigate the Taraia object located in the lagoon that has been visible in satellite images since 1938 (for pics do a search and also look at Google Maps to see how it looks today). I'm skeptical regarding the object, for the record, but would be curious to see what it is nonetheless. That said, I was also reading there was a shipwreck on the island, the SS Norwich - while most of the sailors survived, there were some casualties. This provides one source for the skeleton that was examined earlier, although I haven't seen any mention of female crew members.


edit: I just looked online out of curiosity, Howland Island and Nikumaroro are about 40 miles apart.

 

I wanna know what satellite was imaging anywhere in 1938?? Let alone Nikumaroro, which is the very definition of the backside of nowhere?
