Odds ‘n Sods:

One of our regular content contributors (one of my consulting clients) sent this at least partial confirmation that Trump’s CIA Director designee is one of the Good Guys [1]. I’m praying that DJT appoints a LOT of Good Guys– godly, freedom loving, Constitutionalists who all have their eyes on the big picture. Pray hard! – JWR

Internet censorship has arrived! A professor has made a list of websites she says publish ‘fake’ or ‘misleading’ news [2]. (And this list is already being used to de-monetize sites and push their rankings down in search engines.)

There has recently been a lot of conjecture in the press about why the U.S. Navy has been flying racetrack patterns over Denver [3], Colorado in an E-6 Mercury TACAMO [4] aircraft. I really doubt that it is anything nefarious. I suspect that they are doing long-range communications tests, contacting vessels in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Doing so high over the Rockies is a logical choice. The E6 Mercury (in part developed by one of my former employers, who served as the Program Manager) has a variety of missions. One of the contingency missions is for long-haul communications and data relay (all the way from VLF up to SHF) in the event that a war disrupts satellite communications. – JWR
