In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft discuss the Commonwealth Bank and Atlassian laying off staff to make way for AI, new developments in the Qantas hack, and Ukrainian hackers targeting Aeroflot. Hollingworth and Croft kick things off with some worrying AI news: one of Australia's largest banks and Atlassian announce staff layoffs as the two companies invest in artificial intelligence. Is AI finally coming for our jobs? The pair then move on to local news, with the possibility that the Qantas hacker has now been identified – and it might not be the hacking collective everyone's been thinking of, but rather a group called ShinyHunters, a group named after the Pokéman series of video games. The podcast concludes with a discussion of a successful Ukrainian hacking campaign that disrupted the services of Russian airline Aeroflot, causing flight cancellations across the country.

Edition No205 | 29-07-2025 - It's dawn on Monday, July 28, 2025, and at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport a wearily familiar scene is unfolding—departure boards frozen, passengers stranded, irate people being denied refunds. Yet this time it was not drones that had caused the grounding of planes, the inconvenience and discomfort to passengers. It was one of the most effective hacks in history. Aeroflot, Russia's state‐owned flag carrier was grounded by a major cyberattack. Flights cancelled, chaos at ticket counters, confusion everywhere. This was no glitch, as the Kremlin propagandists initially tried to claim. It is a digital war. And the Kremlin is terrified of the implications of such attacks for its war economy. The hacker groups Silent Crow and Belarus Cyber‑Partisans emerged to claim responsibility. But something on this scale cannot just have been a private initiative. Ukraine is fighting back, and the Russian Goliath is falling and hitting the ground hard. This is part of a concerted strategy to hit the economy, so expect more. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Chaos in Russian Aviation: Unprecedented Cyber Attack on Aeroflot SystemsIn this gripping episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the catastrophic cyber attack on systems that ground Russia's state-owned airline Aeroflot, causing unprecedented travel chaos.

Karačarovo kaime 1974 metų pavasaris buvo derlingas. Atslūgęs žiemos įšalas į paviršių iškėlė negrabiai sovietų užkastos 'avarijos' likučius – žemę nuklojo kraupūs radiniai. Juvelyriniai dirbiniai, drabužių skuteliai ir kaulų nuoplaišos  – viskas priklausė iš Vilniaus į Maskvą lėktuvu TU-124 keliavusiems žmonėms. Epizode įvykius vadiname tikraisiais vardais ir aptariame „Aeroflot“ skrydžio 2022 katastrofą, pasiglemžusią 51 gyvybę, iš kurių net keturios priklausė Lietuvoje ypač gerbiamiems ir žinomiems gydytojams. Ignoruoti įgulos skundai, išdarkytos aukų pavardės ir tik po dvidešimt metų dienos šviesą išvydęs pilotų ir dispečerinės pokalbis prieš pat lėktuvui rėžiantis į žemę. Jei turite gyvos atminties istorijų apie šį „Aeroflot“ skrydį, Petrą Baublį ar jo žuvusius kolegas bei žinote, kiek tuo metu galėjo kainuoti lėktuvo bilietas, neslėpkite užantyje ir pasidalinkite su mumis.

Yesterday Jerry spoke to Elaine Brennan, one of the thousands of Irish people who benefited from the Morrison Visa programme in the 1990s. This gave Elaine and other Irish emigrants the legal pathways to build new lives in the US. Ballyheigue’s Don O’Neill, world renowned for his fashion designs, told Jerry today how getting a visa transformed his life. Former senator and county councillor Dan Kiely developed a connection with the late US Congressman Brian Donnelly – who was behind the Donnelly Visa programme – and helped Irish people live legally in the US.

Good and bad unintended consequences.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.The highest cost of losing a war is the rage of your children."Maybe the Canadian is not so much an 'ex' girlfriend?" Orsi leered. It was the old 'if he is so good that she still wants him back after a colossal screw up, I wanted a taste' expression."Do you think she will help you?" Katalin inquired."She'll help," Pamela huffed playfully. "My grandson has plenty of ex-girlfriends. Most of them want him back, despite his colorful lifestyle. It is one of his more amusing qualities.""Let's get something to eat," I tried to turn the conversation away from my past sexcapades."You are engaged?" Jolan didn't miss a beat."It is complicated," I sighed. "Let's just say I really like her, but she's seven years older, divorced with one young daughter and has a father who hates that I live and breathe.""Do you have any male friends?" Monika joined the Cáel Quiz Bowl."Yes," I replied with confidence. "My roommate Timothy and I are great friends.""He's gay," Pamela pierced their disbelief. "He and Cáel are true brothers-in-arms, I'll give Cáel that much.""Do you have any straight male friends?" Orsi was enjoying taunting me."Do Chaz or Vincent count?" I looked to Pamela."They are straight males, but they don't really know you yet," Pamela failed to be of much help. "I think Vincent insinuated he'd shoot you if you dated any of his three daughters. It was friendly of him to warn you. I supposed that could be construed as liking you.""Are all your acquaintances violent?" Anya seemed worried."Vincent isn't violent. He's with the US FBI," I retorted. Pause. "Okay, he carries a gun and shoots it, he's a law officer. They can do that.""You seem to be stressed," Orsi put an arm around my waist. "Let us ease your worries." Hallelujah!Note: One of History's LessonsIn the last 75 years of military history, airpower had been a decisive factor in every major conflict, save one. Most Americans would think the one exception was US involvement in Vietnam and they'd be wrong: right country, wrong time. Indochina's War of Independence against France was the exception. There, the French Air Force was simply inadequate to the task.Yes, the United States and its allies eventually lost the struggle in Vietnam. But it was their airpower that kept the conflict running as long as it did. For the most part, the Allied and Communist military hardware on the ground were equivalent. While the Allies had superior quantities of supplies, the Communists countered that with numbers, and therein lies the rub.Airpower allowed the Allies to smash large North Vietnamese formations south of the Demilitarized Zone and thus prevented the numerical advantage from coming into play. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong made one serious stab at a conventional militarily challenge to the Allies, the Tet Offensive, and after initial successes, they were crushed.With the NVA unable to flex their superior numbers, the Allies were able to innovate helicopter-borne counter-insurgency operations. The North Vietnam's Army (NVA) was forced to operate in smaller units, so the Allies were able to engage them in troop numbers that helicopters could support. The air forces didn't deliver ultimate victory, but air power alone had never been able to do so on land. It was only when the US lost faith in achieving any positive outcome in Viet Nam and pulled out, that the North was finally able to overrun the South 20 months later. But every major power today understands the lesson.End of Note(Big Trouble in Little China)The military importance of airpower was now haunting the leadership of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). Their problem wasn't aircraft. Most of their air fleet consisted of the most advanced models produced during the last two decades. The problem was that 80% of their pilots were dead, or dying. Their ground crews were in the same peril. Even shanghaiing commercial pilots couldn't meet the projected pilot shortfall.Classic PLA defense doctrine was to soak up an enemy (Russian) attack and bog down the aggressor with semi-guerilla warfare (classic small unit tactics backed up with larger, light infantry formations). Then, when the invaders were over-extended and exhausted, the armored / mechanized / motorized forces would counter-attack and destroy their foes. This last bit required air superiority through attrition.The twin enemies of this strategy were the price of technology and the Chinese economic priorities. With the rising cost of the high-tech equipment and a central government focus on developing the overall economy, the Chinese went for an ever smaller counter attack striking force, thus skewing the burden of depth of support far in favor of their relatively static militia/police units.So now, while the PLA / PLAAF's main divisions, brigades and Air Wings were some of the best equipped on the planet, the economic necessities had also meant the militia was financially neglected, remaining little more than early Cold War Era non-mechanized infantry formations. To compensate, the Chinese had placed greater and greater emphasis on the deployment capabilities of their scarcer, technologically advanced formations.When the Anthrax outbreak started, the strike force personnel were the first personnel 'vaccinated'. Now those men and women were coughing out the last days and hours of their lives. Unfortunately, you couldn't simply put a few commercial truck drivers in a T-99 Main Battle Tank and expect them to be anything more than a rolling coffin. The same went for a commercial airline pilot and a Chengdu J-10 multi-role fighter. The best you could hope for was for him/her to make successful takeoffs and landings.A further critical factor was that the Khanate's first strike had also targeted key defense industries. The damage hadn't been irreparable. Most military production would be only a month to six weeks behind schedule. But there would be a gap.It was just becoming clear that roughly 80% of their highly-trained, frontline combatants were going to die anyway. Their Reserves were looking at 30~40% attrition due to the illness as well. In the short term (three months), they would be fighting with whatever they started with. Within the very short term (one week), they were going to have a bunch of high-priced equipment and no one trained to use it. With chilling practicality, the Chinese leaders decided to throw their dying troopers into one immediate, massive counter-offensive against the Khanate.Just as Temujin predicted they would. Things were playing out according to plan.Note: World Events SummaryRound #1 had seen the Khanate unite several countries under one, their, banner. Earth  and  Sky soldiers had rolled across the Chinese border as their Air Force and Missile Regiments had used precision strikes to hammer Chinese bases, sever their transportation network and crippled their civilian infrastructure.Next, the frontier offensive units had been obliterated, the cities bypassed and the Khanate Tumens had sped forward to the geographic junctures between what the Khanate wanted and from whence the PLA had to come. In the last phase of Round #1, the Khanate prepped for the inevitable PLA / PLAAF counter-strike.Round #2 had now begun:Step One: Declare to the World that the Khanate was a nuclear power. As history would later reveal, this was a lie, but no one had any way of initially knowing that. Hell, the Khanate hadn't even existed 72 hours ago. Satellite imagery did show the Khanate had medium-range strategic missiles capable of hitting any location in the People's Republic. In Beijing, a nuclear response was taken off the table.Step Two: Initiate the largest air-battle in the history of Asia. Not just planes either. Both sides flew fleets of UCAV's at one another. It wasn't really even a battle between China and just the Khanate. Virtually all of the UAV technology the Khanate was using was Japanese, South Korean and Taiwanese in origin, plus some US-Russian-shared technology thrown into the mix.When the South Korean design team saw the footage of their bleeding-edge dogfighting UCAVs shooting down their PRC opponents, they were thrilled (their design rocked!), shocked (what was their 'baby' doing dominating Chinese airspace?) and anxious (members of South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration, DAPA, were rushing over to chat with them).Similar things were happening in Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the United States. The Communist Party leadership in Beijing were beginning to seriously consider the possibility that everyone was out to get them. Of course, all the Ambassadors in Beijing were bobbing their heads with the utmost respect while swearing on the lives of their first born sons that their nations had nothing to do with any of this.These foreign diplomats promised to look into these egregious breaches of their scientific integrity and were saying how sorry they were that the PLA and PLAAF were getting ass-raped for the World's viewing pleasure. No, they couldn't stop the Khanate posting such things to the internet, something to do with freedom. Paranoia had been creeping into the Potentates' thoughts since the Pakistan/Aksai Chan incident.As they watched their very expensive jets and UCAV's being obliterated, distrust of the global community became the 800 pound gorilla in the room. To add habaneros to the open wounds, the United States and the United Kingdom began dropping hints that they had some sort of highly personal communication conduit with the Khanate's secretive and unresponsive leadership. Yes Virginia Wolfe, the Western World was out to get the People's Republic.'Great Mao's Ghost', all that claptrap their grandfathers had babbled on about (1) the Korea War, (2) the Sino-Soviet grudge match, (3) the Sino-Vietnamese conflict and (4) the persistent support for the renegade province of Formosa all being a continuous effort by the liberal democracies and post-colonial imperialist to contain Chinese communism, didn't sound so crazy anymore.Step Three: Plaster all those PLA ground units that had started moving toward them when the air war began and the Chinese envisioned they would control the skies. The T-99 was a great tank. It also blew up rather spectacularly when it was stuck on a rail car (you don't drive your tanks halfway across China, it kills the treads).As Craig Kilborn put into his late night repertoire:"What do you call a Khanate UCAV driver who isn't an ace yet? Late for work.""What's the difference between me coming off a weekend long Las Vegas bender and a Khanate pilot? Not a damn thing. We've both been up for three days straight, yet everyone expects us to work tonight."Some PLA generals decided to make an all-out charge at the Tumens. Genghis's boys and girls were having none of that. They weren't using their Russian-built Khanate tanks to kill Chinese-built PLA tanks. No, their tanks were sneaking around and picking off the Chinese anti-air vehicles.The Chinese tanks and APCs engaged the dismounted Khanate infantry who, as Aksai Chin had shown, possessed some of the latest anti-tank weaponry. In the few cases where the PLA threw caution to the wind, they did some damage to the Khanate by sheer weight of numbers. For the rest, it was death by airpower.With their anti-air shield gone, the battle became little more than a grisly, real-life FPS game. It wasn't 'THE END'. China still had over 2,000,000 troops to call upon versus the roughly 200,000 the Khanate could currently muster. The PLA's new dilemma was how to transport these mostly truck-bound troops anywhere near the front lines without seeing them also exterminated from the air.After the Tumens gobbled up the majority of the PLA's available mobile forces, they resumed their advance toward the provincial boundaries of Xinjiang and Nin Mongol. There was little left to slow them down. The Chinese still held most of the urban centers in Xinjiang and Nei Mongol, yet they were isolated. And Khanate follow-up forces (the national armies they'd 'inherited') were putting the disease-riddled major municipalities under siege.All over the 24/7 World Wide News cycle, talking heads and military gurus were of two minds about the Khanate's offensive. Most harped on the fact that while the Khanate was making great territorial gains, it was barely making a dent in the Chinese population and economy. Uniformly, those people insisted that before the end of November, the Khanate would be crushed and a reordering of Asia was going to be the next great Mandate for the United Nations.A few of the braver unconventional pundits pointed out the same thing, but with the opposite conclusion, arguing:1.There were virtually no military forces in the conquered areas to contend with the Khanate's hold on the regions.2.Their popularity in the rural towns and countryside seriously undercut any hope for a pro-PRC insurgency.3.Driving the Khanate's forces back to their starting points would be a long and difficult endeavor that the World Economy might not be able to endure.When the PLAAF was effectively castrated after thirty-six hours of continuous aerial combat, a lot of experts were left with egg on their faces. One lone commentator asked the most fearful question of all. Where was the Khanate getting the financing, technical know-how and expertise to pull all of this off? There was a reason to be afraid of that answer.And while I was entertaining my six sailor-saviors, there were two other things of a diplomatic nature only just revealing themselves. Publically, Vladimir Putin had graciously offered to mediate the crisis while 'stealthily' increasing the readiness of his Eastern Military District. If there was any confusion, that meant activating a shitload of troops on the Manchurian border, not along the frontiers of the former nations of Mongolia and Kazakhstan.After all, Mongolia was terribly poor. Manchuria/Northeastern China? Manchuria was rich, rich, rich! From the Kremlin, Putin spoke of 'projecting a presence' into the 'lost territory' of Manchuria, citing Russia's long involvement in the region. By his interpretation of history, the Russians (aka the Soviet Union) had rescued Manchukuo (the theoretically INDEPENDENT Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchuria) from the Japanese in 1945. They'd even given it back to the PRC for safekeeping after World War II was concluded.Putin promised Russia was ready and willing to help out the PRC once again, suggesting that maybe a preemptive intervention would forestall the inevitable Khanate attack, thus saving the wealthy, industrialized province from the ravages of war. Surely Putin's Russians could be relied on to withdraw once the Khanate struggle was resolved? Surprisingly, despite being recent beneficiaries of President Putin's promises, the Ukraine remained remiss in their accolades regarding his rectitude.In the other bit of breaking news; an intermediary convinced the Khanate to extend an invitation to the Red Cross, Red Crescent and the WHO to investigate the recently conquered regions in preparations for a humanitarian mission.That intermediary was Hana Sulkanen; for reasons no one could fathom, she alone had the clout to get the otherwise unresponsive new regime to open up and she was using that influence to bring about a desperately needed relief effort to aid the civilians caught up in that dynastic struggle. A Princess indeed. No one was surprised that the PRC protested, claiming that since the territory wasn't conquered, any intervention was a gross violation of Chinese sovereignty.End of Note(To Live and Die in Hun-Gray)Orsi may have been the troupe leader, but Anya needed me more, so she came first."I need a shower before we catch some dinner," I announced as we meandered the streets of Mindszent. My lady friends were all processing that as I wound an arm around Anya's waist and pulled her close. "Shower?" I smiled down at her, she was about 5 foot 7. It took her a few seconds to click on my invitation."Yeah, sure, that would be nice," she reciprocated my casual waist hold. Several of her friends giggled over her delay. We were heading back to the Seven Fishermen's Guest House."Do you do this, picking up strange girls you've barely met for, you know?" she said in Bulgarian, as she looked at me expectantly."Yes and no," I began, in Russian. "I often find myself encountering very intriguing women, for which I know I am a fortunate man. I embrace sensuality. That means I know what I'm doing, but I'm not the 'bring him home to meet the parents' kind of guy.""What of your fiancée? Do you feel bad about cheating on her?" Anya pursued me."Hana is wonderful. I've met her father and it went badly both times," I confessed."How?" Anya looked concerned for me."Would you two speak a language the rest of us can understand?" Monika teased us."Very well," I nodded to Monika, and turned back to Anya, "The first time, his son raped a girl and I threatened the young man's life," I revealed. "Jormo, Hana's father, wasn't happy when I did so. The second time, he hit me twice, once in the gut and once in the head," I continued."Why did he hit you?" Orsi butted in."I'd rather not say. You may think less of me," I confessed. Pamela gave me a wink for playing my audience so well. I'm glad she's family (kinda/sorta)."The boy, he is dead?" Magdalena guessed. "Hana's brother?""I really shouldn't talk about that," I evaded. "It is a family matter." That's right. The family that my grandmother had brought me into as her intern / slayer-in-training. There is no reason to create a new lie when you can embellish a previous one."Do you ever feel bad about what you do?" Katalin asked Pamela. We love movies."As I see it, if I show up looking for you, you've done something to deserve it," Pamela gave her sage philosophy behind being an assassin."Are you, bi-sexual?" Jolan murmured. Pamela smacked me in the chest as I laughed. "Did I say something wrong?" Jolan worried. Pamela was a killer."No, you are fine," Pamela patted Jolan's shoulder. "I'm straight and happily so. It just so happens that most of my co-workers are women. Day in, day out, nothing but sweaty female bodies working out, sparring and grappling together, and afterwards, the massages."That was my Grandma, poking all the lesbian buttons of the women around me. Best of all, she did it with the detached air of a sexually indifferent matron. She was stirring up the lassies while keeping them focused on me. We walked into the courtyard of our guest house."Don't take too long, you two," Orsi teased us."Ha!" Pamela chuckled. "That's like asking the Sun to hurry up and rise, the Moon to set too soon, or the sea to stay at low tide forever.""Anya," I whispered into her ear. "How many orgasms do you want?" Anya's eyes expanded. Her eyes flickered toward her friends, then back to me. She held up one finger, I grinned speculatively. Anya held up two fingers. I kissed her fingers.

De Russische president Vladimir Poetin sprak op zijn jaarlijkse persconferentie over de mogelijkheden voor vredesonderhandelingen met Oekraïne. Maar Ruslandexpert Hubert Smeets gelooft niet dat Poetin dat echt wil. 'Hij zegt dat hij wil onderhandelen zonder voorwaarden vooraf, maar wel op basis van de sindsdien gerealiseerde realiteit op de grond en de Istanbul-akkoorden'. Toch sluit Smeets een bestand niet uit. Hij is te gast bij Bernard Hammelburg in BNR De Wereld. Poetin verwijst ook naar de Istanbul-akkoorden van april 2022. 'Die zijn nooit afgerond omdat Rusland zich schuldig had gemaakt aan oorlogsmisdaden in Boetsja', aldus Smeets, medeoprichter van Raam op Rusland en columnist voor NRC. Toch probeert het Westen Oekraïne naar de onderhandelingstafel te begeleiden, zeker sinds de herverkiezing van Donald Trump. In Oekraïne kijkt men vooral naar de situatie zoals die in de Koude Oorlog was tussen West- en Oost-Duitsland. 'In Kiev leeft het idee om beide delen van Oekraïne los van elkaar te ontwikkelen. En dan is het wachten op een situatie zoals de val van de Muur in 1989.' Smeets denkt, net als voormalig Oekraïens-ambassadeur Robert Serry, dat Trump misschien wel een betere president kan worden voor Oekraïne dan Biden. Luister ook | 'Trump kan een betere president worden voor Oekraïne dan Biden' Situatie in Rusland zelf In Rusland gaat het ondertussen niet voor de wind. Hoewel de IMF-ramingen nog altijd gunstig zijn merken de Russen, met name buiten de steden, de economische gevolgen van de oorlog, legt Smeets uit. Denk daarbij aan de inflatie op boodschappen en brandstof. Ook hebben bedrijven er last van. Zo heeft de Russische luchtvaartmaatschappij Aeroflot oude afgekeurde Boeing 737's gekocht, puur en alleen voor de onderdelen. Verschillende toestellen staan namelijk gedwongen aan de grond. Hoewel de Russen flink wat te lijden kunnen hebben denkt Smeets dat het voor Poetin zaak is om de oorlog vooral buiten Moskou en Sint-Petersburg te houden. 'De mensen daar lijken erg op ons.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at air disasters… On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 from Moscow hit a DHL cargo plane mid air above the German town on Überlingen, near the Swiss border. There were no survivors. How could a tragedy like this occur? Were the pilots to blame? Was the air-traffic controller at fault? Were the planes suffering technical difficulties? Listen now to Geordie's take on this tragedy and the devastating consequences in the aftermath. When we board a plane, how do we know who's really behind the wheel? On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot 593 departed Moscow for Hong Kong. The plane never arrived. As one of the most avoidable air crashes in aviation history, what really happened on that flight to send the plane crashing into a Siberian mountain range? Was it a flight-system malfunction? Pilot incompetence? Or were there kids in the cockpit that put the plane on a flight path to f*cked? It's a harrowing ride, so fasten your seatbelts and adopt the brace position for Michelle's deep dive into this terrible tragedy. So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about MAFS UK, Christmas food and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! VII 14 de Febrero de 2000. Es de Madrugada. Un camionero conduce su vehículo por la Autopista 18. La lluvia no es demasiado fuerte. Con la mirada fija en la linea clara, se coloca bien la gorra, más para no dormirse que por otro motivo. En ese momento… inconscientemente, parpadea varias veces para aclarar su visión. Cree que ha visto algo en la distancia. Es una figura que rompe la monotonía de la carretera. Lo que le asombra y desconcierta, es que es la figura de una niña, de unos 9 años, caminando sola en la oscuridad de la madrugada. La pequeña, de raza negra, con dos coletas empapadas, pegadas al rostro, es Asha Degree, pero aun no lo sabía nadie. Aunque me voy a centrar en tres casos sorprendentes, de desapariciones auténticamente misteriosas, voy a hacer referencia a todos estos. La desaparición de Amelia Earhart: la famosa aviadora estadounidense que desapareció en 1937 durante su intento de dar la vuelta al mundo en avión. La misteriosa desaparición del vuelo MH370: en 2014, un avión de Malaysia Airlines desapareció en el océano Índico con 239 personas a bordo, sin que se hayan encontrado rastros definitivos de la aeronave. Las famosas desapariciones en el Triangulo de las Bermudas. La desaparición de la tripulación del USS Cyclops: en 1918, este barco de la Marina de los Estados Unidos desapareció en el Triángulo de las Bermudas con 309 personas a bordo, sin que se haya encontrado ningún rastro de la embarcación. Se dice que fue una ola gigante. En 2017, un jet privado que transportaba a una empresaria neoyorquina y sus dos hijos desapareció de manera misteriosa, sumándose a la larga lista de casos intrigantes en la zona. Entre los incidentes más notables está el suceso del 5 de diciembre de 1945, durante la operación aérea conocida como Flight 19, cinco vuelos TBM Avenger desaparecieron en el Triángulo. Posteriormente, un PBM Mariner enviado en misión de rescate también se perdió sin dejar rastro. El caso del Cyclops también es célebre, pues no solo desapareció ese barco, sino que años después lo hicieron sus naves gemelas Proteus y Nereus en la misma región. Otro caso es el del Marine Sulphur Queen, que desapareció el 4 de febrero de 1963 con sus 39 tripulantes. Asimismo, el inexplicable caso del Douglas DC-3, un vuelo comercial que desapareció en pleno vuelo el 28 de diciembre de 1948, mientras se dirigía de San Juan de Puerto Rico a Miami con 29 pasajeros y 3 tripulantes. Otra desaparición es la expedición Franklin: en 1845, una expedición británica en búsqueda del Paso del Noroeste desapareció en el Ártico con 129 tripulantes Los hijos de la familia Sodder: en 1945, los niños de una familia estadounidense que desapareció en circunstancias inexplicables durante un incendio en su hogar en Virginia Occidental, sin que se haya encontrado evidencia de su paradero. Biplano Sanchez Beza: Pilotado por Alejandro Bello, desapareció sin dejar rastro en Chile en 1914, es otro enigma en la aviación que ha generado infinidad de preguntas. El L’Oiseau blanc: Desapareció en 1927. El Vuelo del Cuatro Vientos, que salió desde mi tierra, Sevilla dirección México desapareció en 1933. Vuelo 19 (1962): Un avión militar francés que desapareció sobre el Mar Caribe durante un vuelo de entrenamiento. Vuelo 981 de Turkish Airlines (1974): El avión se estrelló después de que la puerta de carga se abriera en pleno vuelo y nunca se encontraron rastros de los ocupantes. Vuelo 19 de Benin (2003): Un avión desapareció en un vuelo entre Benin y Beirut, Líbano, y nunca se encontraron rastros del avión ni de los pasajeros. Vuelo 125 de Aeroflot (1981): Un avión de carga soviético desapareció en el Océano Pacífico con cuatro tripulantes a bordo. Vuelo 981 de Arrow Air (1985): Un avión de transporte militar de Canadá se estrelló en Gander, Newfoundland, sin dejar rastro de la tripulación ni de los pasajeros. Vuelo 401 de Eastern Airlines (1972): Un avión que se estrelló en los Everglades de Florida con 163 personas a bordo, sin que se encontraran rastros de algunos de los ocupantes. Vuelo 912 de Air New England (1983): Un avión desapareció mientras volaba sobre el estado de Maine en Estados Unidos, y nunca se encontraron rastros del avión ni de sus ocupantes. El segundo caso en el que profundizaré hoy, es… La Desaparición Del Piloto Frederick Valentich. Por ultimo, tal vez, el mas desolador… comienza con una llamada a urgencias: La casa se ha caído, se ha hundido a través del agujero. El suelo de la habitación se derrumbó, y mi cuñado está ahí. Está debajo de la casa. El era Jeff Bush, de 37 años. Por ultimo oy abro una nueva sección, llamada, Enigmas grandes, en pequeños párrafos., que tratará sobre pequeños enigmas y sobre todo curiosidades, espero os gusten. 1- La víctima número 169 del bombardeo de Oklahoma City. 2- El Puente Overtoun: El Misterio de los Perros… 3- El Pez Rosado con Manos: Un Misterio de las Profundidades de Tasmania. 4- Personajes Históricos que han pasado una noche a solas en la Gran Pirámide de Guiza.

Show Notes and Transcript Journalist and 'China smartypants' Kenneth Rapoza joins Hearts of Oak to discuss China's impact on Western manufacturing post its WTO entry and the free trade's negative effects on job losses and economic disparities.  We look at the challenges in competing with China's low-cost labour and its aggressive trade practices on other nations.  Kenneth walks us through evolving views on globalization, power shifts between the US and China, and China's strategic expansion in key industries. We address concerns about social control in China and democracy preservation, emphasizing the need to understand changing power dynamics in today's interconnected world amidst China's global rise Kenneth Rapoza is a seasoned business and foreign affairs reporter with more than 20 years experience. He was stationed abroad as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal in Sao Paulo and was a former senior contributor for Forbes from 2011 to 2023 writing about China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and other developing countries. After leaving Brazil in 2011, Ken started covering the BRIC countries for Forbes as a senior contributor.  He has travelled throughout all of the countries he covered and has seen first-hand China's impressive growth and its ghost towns as recent as 2017 and 2018. His editorial work has appeared in diverse publications like The Boston Globe and USA Today — where he was given the unflattering task of taking an opposing view in support of China tariffs at the start of the trade war — and more recently can be found in Newsweek and The Daily Caller. He has either written for, or has been written about, in The Nation and Salon in the dot-com years, and almost broke the Argentine internet after publishing a story in Forbes about the return of the International Monetary Fund before the government opened up about it. Today, Ken does the radio and podcast circuit talking about CPA issues. Having grown up near the depressed mill towns of Massachusetts, manufacturing as a bulwark of household income and sustainability is not merely an intellectual pursuit, but a personal one, too. He experienced the life-altering impact government policy has on manufacturing labor in his own family back in the 1990s. He considers himself an American “lao baixing.” He graduated from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH. Ken lives and works from a small farm and beach town in Southern Massachusetts with his family.   Connect with Ken...

Kenneth, thank you so much for your time today. (Kenneth Rapoza) Thanks for having me on, Peter. I appreciate it. Oh, great. And people can obviously find you @BRICbreaker is your Twitter handle. Ken is an industry analyst from the Coalition for a Prosperous America, former staff, foreign correspondent for Wall Street Journal and a senior contributor to Forbes covering China since back in 2011. And there's so many issues we could discuss, but it's that issue of China which I want to start with. And I've seen a number of your posts, I think on Daily Caller. One of the recent ones was on free trade. I think free traders are wrong. It's time to try trade a new way. And you started off simply by a statement on a Daily Mail poll recently showed 54% of voters support Trump's proposal to put 10% tariffs on imports from China and elsewhere, which is obviously opposite to a free trade thinking. Maybe start there. Why do you think free traders are wrong? And why do you think we need a new model for the future? Well, the idea of free trade, right, of course, goes back to the British colonial days, right? But in modern times, from our youth and what we recall, it really kicked off in its heyday, we could say, probably post-World War II, and then after the end of the Cold War. It was the end of history, peace in the world, right? No more Soviet Union. We're all on the same page with trade. Then it really went into high gear in 2001. This is when China enters the World Trade Organization. At that point, I would say, is the beginning of what some people have called hyper-globalization. That was the Western world's manufacturing base being sucked out of their towns and cities and shipped to Asia. It has been totally destructive. Led to the different policies that we have today. You could even say Brexit in some degree was because of it. It was an anti-globalization vote. You know, because really what's happening is the Western leaders are saying, oh, they know the plebs are against globalization for the most part. And they say, oh, you don't like it anymore. You don't like globalization. Fine. We're going to import all those people that you don't want to compete with in the third world. We're going to import them and we're going to pay them your job. And we're going to pay them your wages that That you don't want to accept. We're going to pay them that. And that's the way it's going to go. So, it's been a disaster for many people. Brexit is probably one of the examples of an anti-globalist push among the populace. And, of course, the Trump election was the creme de la creme of the anti-globalist push within the electorate. So, you know, when you go back to the 80s, 90s, and of course, China joined the World Trade Organization, that was the globalization heyday. And when what many people call a reverse globalization or a localization. The language is still being defined on this issue. But clearly, the populace of the Western world is against the old school globalization. When I say that, that's 80s, 90s trade, the model, the way it was. We're going to just import. We're going to make things where it's cheap to make things. And that's how it's going to be. We're a consumer society. We fill our garages not with cars. We fill them with toys and trinkets and all this other stuff instead. And it's going to be made in Mexico and Asia and so on. And if you don't have a job anymore, well, you can learn to code, or you can go drive an Uber, or you can go, maybe if you're lucky, you're good at math, you can go work at Goldman Sachs, or you could become a nurse. I mean, that's it. And people have rejected that. So, again, a lot of the people who are pro-free trade, they're guys who are older than us, and they came from the time when free trade was, globalization was becoming, was a topic, right? Again, the post-Soviet, the post-Cold War era, and they're thinking they still have that mindset. But there's nothing that shows that free trade has worked for the working class. The blue-collar class. There have been numerous studies showing that it hasn't. It's been great for Walmart. It's been great for multinational corporations, but it hasn't been great for workers because why? They have to compete in the West. They have to compete with labour in Mexico, with labour in Vietnam. There is absolutely no way someone in Manchester City; in Newcastle, can make a car, can make a shirt for what they make it in Bangladesh for. There's no way. They can't do it. They'll never, ever do this. So, if you're going to have that kind of world, then you're just going to outsource forever your manufacturing to Asia or over here in this hemisphere to Mexico. And I think that's where the backlash has come. And I think that's where free traders really have their blind spot is, okay, it's great. There's always going to be trade. There's always going to be imports, but to what extent are we going to allow this so that your industry, whether it is in England or whether it is the United States, whether it is in Germany; to what extent are you going to allow it so that you have no blue collar workforce, you have no manufacturing base anymore? That is the question of the day. That is the biggest pushback. In the West, we have globalism versus anti-globalism, for lack of a better word, you know and that's leading to a lot of political stress in the west. I remember being out on the campaign trail for Brexit with UKIP knocking on doors over the years and anytime you'd knock on the door of someone who ran a business that was a multinational business their response would be of: I don't want Brexit. I want cheap labour I want movement of goods and a cheap labour as low as possible. That's all I care about, it's the bottom line, and is this a conversation about maybe globalization has not gone the way we expected. That it's purely about the bottom line then removes the individual from it is that kind of the conversation that's beginning to now boil up. Oh, absolutely it's beginning to boil up. And again I think it started with Brexit and it started with with trump. Look what's happening in the world today. Look at look at Germany, primarily Germany. You see the headlines in The Economist. They're all worried about Chinese EVs coming in. They're all worried in the Netherlands now about Goldwind. Goldwind is the big wind turbine manufacturer that's taking market share away from precious Vestas. Well, that's too bad. But you want to make it all in China. What do you think China is going to do? They're going to say, well, I don't want to make Vestas. I want my own company. I don't want to make Vestas products. I want to be Vestas. Why wouldn't China want that? Why wouldn't they want that? It makes no sense that they wouldn't want that. I mean, the UK is a bad example here, because the UK used to have Land Rover and used to have the Mini, right? And now that's all Tata. That's all Indian now. I don't know who owns Mini, but I mean, certainly Land Rover and Jaguar. These are British iconic brand, auto motor brands. They're owned by Tata Motors in India now. They're probably still made to some degree in the UK, of course, but the brand doesn't belong to the UK anymore. It's Indian. So, they're panicking and they're panicking because they cannot compete. They will never, ever compete with low cost labour. They'll never compete with China because China is not interested in the free market competition of the West. They're interested in full employment. And it's a massive nation run by provincial leaders who have different viewpoints of the world than Xi Jinping. If Xi Jinping says, no, we just talked to Janet Yellen. We just talked to, you know, whatever his name is, the prime minister of the UK. I can't think of it right now. Now, he said that he doesn't want us to overproduce anymore solar panels and wind turbines and EVs. We're going to stop. We got to play by the rules. We can all be friends. Do you think the provincial guy in Nanjing and Guangdong is going to listen to this guy? He's got a million mouths to feed. Millions of people. Millions. More than the UK's entire workforce. He has in one province. He's not worried about what Janet Yellen says what Olaf thinks. To the Chinese, Olaf is a snowman from Frozen. They're not worried about this guy. So, this is something that they can't compete with. And so they're learning now. They're seeing it. And they're worried now. You see them worrying now because their precious renewable energy market is being taken over by China. Well, sometimes China's out innovating them. China just copied what we made here in the West. But China can do it easier because they get the subsidies. They got workers galore. They got workers galore who aren't worried about, you know, TikTok videos and, you know, trying to rehearse for, you know, they want to be the next EDM DJ or they want to get on Eurovision. That's their biggest dream. And then these guys are just flooding the market with product. You can't compete with that. You'll never, ever compete with that. But that's the free trade. That's free trade. China's saying, hey, you know, we're trading, we're making products. And the West will say, well, yeah, but you're subsidizing or you're doing this. Well, then the Chinese are going to say, well, you subsidize. You subsidize your farmers. The Inflation Reduction Act in the United States, you're giving huge tax breaks to produce. So, you're doing it. So, you stop. There is no such thing as free trade. There is no such thing as free trade the way people thought it would be. And that doesn't mean that importing is bad or that you and I, Peter and Ken, can't start a business. And we can't afford to pay $30 an hour. So, we decide on our own volition. We decide to, from the get-go, that we're going to make it in Mexico. We're going to make our widgets in Mexico. That's what we're going to do. That was our plan from the beginning. That's one thing. It's bad when Ken and Peter were making a widget. We wanted to make it in Newcastle. We wanted to make it in Portland, Oregon. And now we go, I can't do this anymore. I'm competing with Mexico. I have to close now. You and I, we got to lay off 100 people that we work with for 10, 20, 30 years. We got to tell them it's over. And these guys are making $30,000, $40,000, $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, $80,000 a year. But that's 10 times what the, you know, the average salary in Mexico, I think is $16,000. In Vietnam it's nine. So, I mean, it's okay. Again, if Ken and Peter decided we're going to make a widget and we were always planning to make it in Mexico because of that wage variable, but then what happens when you and I were making a widget happily here happily, and now we cannot. Maybe we're done. Maybe you and I have finished, maybe we're finished. But maybe all the people that we work with every day, they're done. It's all over them. But that's the free trade world that is being criticized now because you cannot compete with developing nations on wage alone. Not only that, of course, in the US, we have a strong currency. Think about how far my dollar goes in Mexico or China or Vietnam. I could buy a mansion in Vietnam. I could barely buy a trailer in the United States for $300,000. Think about what I could do with that money in Vietnam or Thailand or Mexico, right? So, not only do you have the wage issue, you have a strong currency here because we're such a financial market. All the money from the world comes here. You have higher taxes here than you do in other places. So, you're competing on that level too. So, there really is the argument of free trade was always something that was for the textbooks, something that the faculty lounge could discuss and economists could discuss in a dream world. But in reality, it never came to fruition because it only was good for the big corporations who were transnational. They had no allegiance to a nation. It wasn't Peter and Ken making a widget. It wasn't you and I making bikes in Oregon. It wasn't that. It was Walmart buying and selling a million bikes all across the continental United States. We don't care about where we get the bikes. If I can get it for $100 or $99 and sell it for $110, and I'm selling a million of them. That $1 difference puts a million dollars a year in my pocket. It's a big deal. So, I mean, those are the guys who really benefited. But the guy who made the bike doesn't benefit. And for them, it's a huge blow. And I think that is where we are seeing in the West today. That's where the tensions are rising from the electorate against the established powers. We can look at even the immigration debate. What is the immigration debate about? It's about why are we giving these guys all this money? Why these guys are hurting our wages or these guys are hurting, you know, our ability to get jobs. And so it's always it always relates to that sort of what I call the immigration debate in the West. I call it forced globalism upon the people. You know, again, like I said earlier, the conversation saying you don't want us to make a factory in Asia. You don't want us to import goods because you all talk to your elected officials and cry because you want to make steel or whatever here. Good. We're going to import all of them here. You know, they're going to make it for half your pay or we're going to totally stunt your wage growth forever. You know, so that's always the stem of the issue in the West. It's always this rush to globalization, creating this, you know, where planet Earth is the nation state rather than the UK as a nation and Germany as a nation or the EU is a block. No, there's districts, like Hunger Games. This is the district that makes this widget. This is the district that makes that widget. And then free capital moves throughout the world. And that's a dream of the free trader, but that's not a dream of the person, again, Ken and Pete, who were making a widget, and now we cannot. We cannot do that anymore, because we cannot compete with Mexico. There is no way in hell we're going to do it. We're not going to make it for the same price you can make it in Albania, for crying out loud. It's all over. And so that has something's got to give. And there's a lot of politicians that realize that. And there's a lot who are pushing back, obviously. Well, in that order, you talk about some of the old understanding of the views on globalization are changing. So, you talk about trade deficits don't matter or imports don't take American jobs. I mean, those are two issues which will come home to roost for individuals because the U.S. Massive trade gap, that has a cost. And of course, if you're all getting your stuff from temu then actually uh no one needs to actually work in America to produce anything so, where are the jobs? And is it a waking up to the damage that unrestricted, uncontrolled, mass-globalization causes in those two simple things of trade deficit and simple jobs. Well yeah there is there is a waking up. Look, I look back; In fact, I'm not an old guy. So, I remember in the 90s, I was young, I was probably just starting to vote, when a man named Ross Perot was talking about this, what it would be like when the United States created the free trade area of North America, NAFTA. And he said it would be a huge sucking sound of American jobs going to Mexico. And at the time, remember, Mexico was a country that was in and out of default. It survived on the IMF. It was like Argentina. It was basically Argentina of North America. And of course, NAFTA saved it. NAFTA saved it, but it became essentially the United States, the 51st state. And what's happening now? Let's talk about the free trade agreement of North America. Let's talk about NAFTA for a second. That idea was always to Mexico is our neighbor. They're always in and out of a financial crisis or an economic crisis. Let's help them with trade. Let's help them do this. And it was a success to a large extent, right? I mean, it's still way poorer than we are here in the U.S. and Canada. Way poorer. You can't compare the wages between the two countries; it's just at least three times more here. But countries, companies from around the world are going to Mexico now. So, Germany is setting up shop to make electric vehicles there. Of course, Korea and Hyundai make cars there. But a lot of those cars are for sale in Mexico. Those are big sellers in Mexico. But I highly doubt that the BMW electric vehicle is a high powered vehicle, a selling vehicle in Mexico. I don't think that's the market that is going to come here. The Japanese have been making steel in Mexico. That is coming here. That's coming here duty free. So, now NAFTA has become a trade zone for any multinational that wants to set up shop in Mexico. It's helping the Mexicans and the locals and the Mexican workers, but it's really a multinational free trade zone. If you can set up shop in Mexico and, of course, employ Mexicans and so on and pay Mexican taxes, you can sell your goods where? Well, to the biggest consumer economy in the world, right? You've got to sell them here. You're not setting up to sell there, I mean, Mexico, tiny. Your next door neighbour is right here. So, this is a problem, but that's free trade. That's the free trade topic. That's the free trade model. And people do not like it. Clearly, they do not like it. It doesn't mean they don't like free trade. Obviously, we want to trade. Again, you and I have a factory. We make a widget. We want to trade with the world. We do want to trade with the world. And that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. There's nothing wrong with that. But again, if people perceive from the UK, from Germany, the United States; they perceive that their leaders were obsessed, that's changing, with this globalization model of one world kumbaya. Everything's going to be made in Asia. Everything's going to be made in Mexico. And they cannot survive. They cannot survive on that. And so either you're going to have a city and town where you have marijuana shops and treatment centers, and that's going to be your new industry and casinos, or you're going to have a place where people can survive making things like kitchen cabinets or furniture. And if you don't want that, if you don't want that, then okay, then admit you don't want that. And what are you going to do to replace it? Okay, then what do they say? Well, we're going to have universal basic income. So they know. They do come up with solutions, but that's their solution. That's their solution. And I'm not convinced that people are on board with that for the most part. I don't know. Maybe there are some lazy people who are fine with universal basic income. I'm sure there are people who would be fine with that. But people are against this globalization model, and it's being turned on its head in the West, and it is a source of a lot of political problems. And of course, China is the 10,000 pound gorilla, whatever that saying goes in the room. And everybody, everybody sees that now. It was Trump really that made people see that, but Europe seeing it now as well. So, where that leads in the years ahead, I don't know. People clearly do not like the setup the way it was pre Trump, let's say pre Brexit, where the goal was: hey, we're just going to make everything in China. We're gonna make everything in Asia. And that's it. You can learn to become a new EDM DJ and you now train for Eurovision and maybe you'll get lucky and that's that's the extent of it. Well, we've got UBI coming in Wales as a test bed but that's a whole other conversation with Wales; have found how you get free money which is a change in how humanity works. I want to ask, you did another post looking at, I think the title was, U.S. Risks Losing Its Status as an Exemplar of a Free Country with Laws. And you talked about China's soft power slowly winning hearts and minds, see it in developing countries, in other countries it's not. But there does seem to be that move from that kind of American dream, everyone wants to come to America to see the sights, the sounds, to see the miracle that's America. That seems to now be moving towards China with a huge focus on it. So, what are your thoughts? Tell us more about that, about the US losing that position, having its soft power of influence worldwide. Well, for starters, America is still seen as a place in Europe as well, as a place where people from developing countries want to go. If we were seen as a failing society and failing countries, I would assume people from other failing countries wouldn't want to come here. But, I don't know how informed these people are about what it looks like today in the streets of San Francisco. How much it costs to live in New York City? They might still believe that, you know, California is paved with gold and they can become, you know, Hollywood actors in a year or two, you know, singing and dancing on the streets of Hollywood and Vine. Maybe they believe that. They'll learn from Rude Awakening. But that sort of vision of the United States may still exist in Latin in parts of Latin America. I believe that is eroding. OK, now on the China side with soft power, of course. You know so soft power is defined as, you know, diplomacy but it's also defined as culture. And it's also defined as corporate branding. So, culture United States wins hands down. Everybody knows Hollywood right: American music. We got Taylor Swift. China doesn't have the Chinese salesman, you know. So, we have you know the rock and so on. We have all these movies that's an immeasurable positive for the United States, culturally. But in terms of diplomacy and just soft power in general. Let's look at what happened recently. So, you have Russia's war with Ukraine. So, obviously Russia is part of the big four emerging markets. It's part of the BRIC collective. And these guys have been, these leaders of these countries have been talking and developing relationships for at least, I would say 20 years now. When the West asked all these countries to support them in their view on Russia, to a man, none of them went along with it. None of them. This is completely different than what it was like in the 80s. If you tell Brazil: hey, we need you to send some weapons to Ukraine. Brazil couldn't say no. Because the United States said, well, we're going to hold back that IMF loan. We're going to hold back that development loan for that bridge you're trying to build, that dam you want. Either you give, either you start putting out, make it look like you're on our side and start churning out some ammo for the Ukrainians or the money for that hydroelectric dam is off the table. That's not a thing anymore. That's not a thing anymore. The United States has lost that. So, when you see countries in the developing world that can say no to the West, say no to Europe and the United States, right, and ignore them. That is a sign that the soft power of the West is eroding. I'm not saying that's eroding in favour of China. But it's eroding in sense of there is imbalance in the world, right? There's a sense of that people in developing world, the leaders in developing world is saying, we don't want the unipolar view anymore, right? Let's, let's, let's go more of a multi-polar view, Right. Maybe that doesn't mean China's in the lead. We don't know who the multipolar is going to be. We don't know. But there is a pushback against the United States way. And I don't know. I think there was a real severing of that with with COVID, honestly, because, everybody in the world saw how the West treated its people during COVID. I mean, we saw what China did, right? Locking people in apartments in Wuhan and so on. We saw those things. Saw that. And who knows? That could have, for all we know here in the West, that could have been just orchestrated to make it look to us in the West that this disease is so bad. Look what the Chinese are doing. They have to literally lock people in their homes or they'll die. This is how bad it is. So, that could have been a psy-op in a way for all I know. But you had people in Canada losing their bank accounts. You had people in the United States being arrested for protesting lockdowns. You had people vilified for it, and so on. While Black Lives Matter and Antifa were able to parade around. Of course, they had their science-y masks on. So, I guess that was all good. And breaking things and knocking statues down and whatever. And they were fine. So that six feet distance didn't matter to them. And people around the world see that. I remember even the president of Mexico said, Obrador, He said, you know, COVID showed the Western world authoritarianism. He showed that the Western world can be authoritarian, just like, what they always criticize us as a being, you know. I mean, this is fascinating. This is not a language that you would hear Mexico ever say about the United States. You'd be instantly punished. What does Mexico do to the United States to help us police the border? What does Mexico do for the United States to help us stop fentanyl? Do you ever hear about them beating up on Sinaloa or Jalisco? I mean, unless like the DEA is involved, those guys just run around free like you and I, you know, going to get a sandwich in a local shop. I mean, there's nothing happening there to fight it, right? So, you know, and I think I look at that as being a sign. That is a sign that the West really is no longer the exemplar on a lot of the issues that it was. On issues like democracy, where all this talk about misinformation and control. That there is sort of a severing of ties, if you will, from the developing world with the West. And I'm not saying that China is going to replace it. We don't want that. But I'm also of the mind that there are many people in the West who really like the China model, and they wouldn't even complain if the China model replaced ours, because they love the top-down societal government control aspects of the CCP. And many of them think in the West that they can just wrap it in the pretty bows of diversity, inclusion and environmental justice. And all the urban educated classes will say: oh, that that sounds reasonable. That sounds like a good way to go. Within the eyes of the developing world. It's very difficult for me to say that they are all going to agree with the U.S. on certain things. That wasn't the case when we were kids. It was not. America was always the right, always in the right, always. Now it's like, you know, they might not agree. They're not going to go along with it. No, you've seen in Africa, especially China using their financial muscle to go in to start massive infrastructure projects for the Belt and Braces. And America seems to be very much hands off. And it seems to be as the West is maybe moved away from parts of Africa, China has gone into to that vacuum and imposed itself. And now is building infrastructure across the continent. The west then scratch your heads and wonder why they have less power. Well, it's because you've handed that industrial, that financial power, over to China and they are now the ones that rule, because of those tight contracts. And they're the ones that get people from A to B by building a road or building a railway. So, they're the ones that Africa need, and no longer the west. Yeah. And you know, where did they come up with this idea? This was what the West did. This was the United States did in the post-World War II, right? The United States went to the world and said, we're going to help rebuild. We're going to get you modernized. That was soft power. We're going to get you on our side. We're going to get you to see things our way. We're going to get you to be our political and economic partner. And so we don't really see that as much anymore. We don't really see that as much anymore. I don't really know why. Maybe it is like a late empire pirate type situation, right? Where we're worried more about silly things, cultural issues. That the other part of the world doesn't worry about. I mean, I think that was something famously said by someone in Africa. They said, look, China comes here giving us money to build roads and bridges. And when you guys come here, you give us lectures on gender, or climate change, right? But that's not to say the Africans don't want American business. I'm sure they do. But that's not, in a lot of ways, that's not what the United States is in there for. And I think only recently the United States has realized, oh, they've seen the error of their ways. Because where I work, I get to sit in on a lot of these hearings in Congress. And I know that they want to counter China in that way. But it's a knee-jerk react to China. It's a knee-jerk react to China. It's not necessarily a long-term planning thing. So, okay, well, how do we go to this country and propose this? What else can we do? Everything is a knee jerk. And that is a problem, but at least they see that they've been caught on the back foot over the last few years. Whereas China has in terms of soft power, diplomacy, getting their corporate brands all over the world that they see now, wow, we're losing. We're losing a lot of that. Think about it. I remember my first time going to Latin America in the 90s. I'm sure this was the case in the 80s and the 70s. Ford, McDonald's, Hollywood, those were symbols. Those are like the unpaid American ambassadors. And so look today; you can probably count on one hand, unless you drive a German car, how many German item products you have in your, in your house. You know, I have a Miele vacuum cleaner. I think that's German, you know, but for the most part, your kid has TikTok on their phone. You might have a Lenovo computer or a Lexmark printer in your office. There's a lot of Chinese corporate brands that are very well known. You probably, your kid probably buys clothes on Shein or, or you probably shop on Temu, right? What's the European equivalent to that? I don't know of any. I can't name one big European app, honestly. I just can't. And even e-commerce, I can't think of a single one. So, this is China. So, this is the soft power. These are very important issues for the United States that used to dominate that, for example, in Latin America. And now they do not. They do not dominate that at all. It's China that is moving in; China is moving in the auto industry. China is moving in big retail and in some areas even finance. So, you know, I think that's an interesting look to see. What's it going to be like in another generation? China may be seen as a better partner. And as I mentioned in Daily Caller, there was a survey by the Singaporean think tank run by the government that showed a small amount, I think it was 50.4%, so it's almost 50-50, of government leaders. Not just men on the street, who said, strategically they felt it was better the dial was moving a little bit more towards China than the United States. Even the fact that it's 50-50 should be worrying to the U.S., right? I'm speaking as an American here, right? It should be worrying that it's even 50-50, but it is. And so that goes to show the power of China. Not just militarily and all this stuff, but just doing business with China and then seeing things China's way in many degrees. Well, it's true. Then that report, Singapore report of the Southeast, it makes you realize that China doesn't actually need to use its military power, because obviously it is ramping up its military spending, wanting to actually impose itself on the South China Sea, make sure America is not there. In one way, it needs to do that because I guess you've got Taiwan and Japan maybe as entities that are not pro-China. But everywhere else, in one way, trade is actually building bridges with those countries. There's actually less reason for China to spend all that huge amount of money on military power whenever soft power through trade and commerce. That's actually winning over Southeast Asia. Oh, absolutely. They're more connected to Asia, more connected to China because of commerce. A lot of Chinese multinationals, especially, have been setting up shop in Southeast Asia to make everything from LED light bulbs to furniture and so on, solar panels are huge in Vietnam and Malaysia. Chinese multinationals are all there and they're selling it all over the world. Most of the United States and Europe. But again, China does want to build up its military because they see, and this is one thing I think the military worries about, is they see this. They think the military is a good place for me to have an industrial base. The military is a good place for me to make big products, big expensive items, maybe like a drone. Drones are a big thing now. Autonomous ships. Autonomous aircraft. China's big on that. I don't know if Russia makes those. So, who is the United States competing with a lot of times for like military contracts in Asia? Russia? So, India might buy, or Saudi Arabia. So India might buy an F-15, but it might also buy a Sukhoi. Might buy both. Might buy a MiG. Might buy an F-15. But now China's saying, hey, wait a minute. Why don't I also; so let them buy. I don't know anything about China. A China fighting tiger. Now, all of a sudden the Vietnamese don't just have F-15s. They got a Chinese fighting tiger too. So it's very important for China to move into the military, not because they want to protect the South China Sea or get the U.S. Military out of there, get that U.S. military protectorate agreement out of Asia because China sees this is my backyard, not yours. And they're going to muscle in and give options. But also, in thinking of the military as a product, I have autonomous boats. Hey, Vietnam, you want to have a coast guard? You want to police illegal fishing? You want whatever? You want to place drugs in the Malibu Straits without getting your soldiers injured? I got autonomous boats. America makes autonomous boats, but we're even better at it. And that's a big deal. That's a huge deal. People don't realize. All of a sudden, who's competing with the United States? Who's competing with Lockheed Martin to make an autonomous boat? The Chinese. Look, when you think of flying internationally,  there's only two planes you've ever been on. You've been on a Boeing and you've been on an Airbus. But now China, I only know the abbreviation of the company, it's called Comac, has the C, I think it's called the C919. Yeah. And that's an international wide-body jet that's going to take you from Shanghai to Paris. Well, guess what? So one day when that plane is seen as doing, in terms of safety record is solid and whatever, the airlines are going to buy that; going to buy a Comac instead of an Airbus, instead of a Boeing. And guess what else is even more interesting? Do you think that the Chinese are going to subsidize a Boeing jet or an Airbus plane? No, they're going to subsidize Comac, so Comac can become the Vietnamese airline of choice carrier. Maybe not Japan, because the United States would muscle in there, I'm sure. Maybe even France would, too. Maybe even Vietnam in the case of France and Vietnam. No. But other areas like Kazakhstan, Russia, for example, Aeroflot would probably be alright. I don't even I don't even envision a future of Aeroflot in Russia using Airbus and Boeing. I don't. I don't even see why they would want to if that Comac jet is safe. Well, you know, Boeing planes, their doors fall off in mid-flight lately. So, if the Comac is safe, why would Russia want to buy an American or a French plane? The Americans and the French hate him. I agree. I'm a plane buff, and I think I would rather fly on a Chinese aircraft than a Boeing at the moment. The aircraft could be better. I just want to finish on another issue. I think one of your tweets was that the established powers of the West love the CCP model of social control and governance. And you made the wrap it up in this diversity. But this whole thing on the control that China have on their citizens, and obviously during COVID, the West suddenly thought, oh, we can now use this to actually control our citizens. And then in the UK, you realize that a lot of our CCTV systems on the streets; and a lot of the CCTV systems used in shops are actually Chinese systems. So, who knows where the data goes? But it's interesting how the West looking at China, once again, it's China that will provide the infrastructure and the setup for the West. The West kind of look at that. They would like some of that control. And China, again, are the world leaders. And once again, they provide what the West wants to control the citizens. Yeah, they're sort of like a petri dish in a way, right? The Chinese people of what the West would like. Now, the Western world, because you live in democracies where people still have a say, people still have a say. But that's changing. Yeah, because they can vilify in the West and use the media and say that people like Peter who think that this way, they're conspiracy theorists, they're right wingers, they're fascists, whatever it is, they're transphobic, they don't believe in science. The whole nine yards, the usual things, right? Right. That's how they get the other half of society to sort of bludgeon you. They shut. So the government doesn't have to do anything. Right. The other half, the other half of polite society could say, oh, that Peter guy has a weird views of things. What's wrong with surveillance? He's not we're not doing anything bad. So what? Look, I'm of the mind that in the West, because we are a democracy and people still have a say, they have to divide the people in a way that when you are opposed to the regime, when you're opposed to the government, you're going to be a person who's spreading misinformation. You're going to be someone who needs to be censored. You're going to be someone who needs to be punished. That is the way that they're able to corral people who don't want to be punished, don't want to be censored, don't want to be vilified. And they can be on this team regime. They can be on the side of the power. So if you were looking at China, you'd be on the side of the CCP. Why would China, why would an average Chinese person want to go against the CCP? You see what happens. So, in the US and in Europe, you're doing that with different laws, like misinformation, you're trying to shut down that debate, trying to shut down people, allowing people to talk about certain things. So, you can vilify them or you can just end it at all. But at least, at the very least, vilify these people so that the other half of society, whether it's a third or whether it's a half, I don't know, can say, yeah, you know, those people deserve to be punished. Those people deserve to be ostracized from society. [40:20] And that gives, of course, the government more control. Because they can't control. They can't just come out and say, we're going to do this. We're going to give you digital currency and program what you can buy or whatever. That's not going to happen. That can, to some extent, happen in China. It'd be very hard to do, do that in the West, but you know, I'm of the mind that they won't, they won't succeed at this. I hope, I hope, I hope not. I could, I could be wrong. We can, we can tell what you can talk about this for hours. You almost need a theologian to talk about some of these issues because, I think that people, because of all these alternative media people like yourself, Peter, right? They've come out and they're, they're almost ahead. That we're one step ahead of how the powers that be think, or at least we understand how they think. We can analyze it and we can come out and say, this is what they could do. Maybe we're wrong. But if we're right, then it's almost like these guys can't do it. You know what I mean? Because now it's like, well, I know we said we weren't going to do it. We did it. But it is a good idea because. And then when you keep having to do that, what happens? What's happening in the West? You delegitimize the system. You delegitimize the institution because of that gaslighting. Because you said you weren't going to do this. The guys you said were spreading misinformation said you were going to do it. You did do it. And then you said, yeah, but it's good that we did it. You can't keep doing that in society. But that's the way that the West moves to a China control like model because they just can't do it. We don't live in a dictatorship. You can't just do it. But that's the way that they move you in that direction. But as long as people like yourself and others in media, and of course, you have a big star in the UK, Russell Brand, he's huge, he's big here in the United States. As long as they're up ahead of that, then I think it becomes harder, because more people are aware, more people are curious about how the powers are trying to control things in their life. And then it's less likely that they will succeed, you know. It is less likely they succeed when more people are aware of what's at stake and more people are aware of what the planning is or how their thinking is. As long as we want to be free people and don't live like the CCP runs China, then we know that the guys who perfectly fine with us living like the CCP. We can be out ahead of them, then we can stop it, because they don't want to, they don't want to be embarrassed. They don't want to look like fools. In the worst case scenario, they will get more aggressive, more vicious and just keep pushing and pushing and pushing. And I think that's, unfortunately, that's the, this, this, the place we find ourselves now in Europe, the UK, the United States and Canada. And it's going to be very interesting to see what happens in the next few years. It will be and we'll see how November changes things because we've little pushback in Europe so I think the U.S have a chance of some pushback in November. You did have a big pushback with that farmer protest that was pretty serious. I think that the farmer protest was really eye-opening for a lot of people. I think, didn't it didn't disrupt some government in the Netherlands or Denmark? I forget, but some somebody was overthrown or a political party that was in... It overthrew the government of the Netherlands, in effect. The issue is actually when you protest, you have media you highlighted, then you're looking for a political solution to come in on the back of that, and Europe haven't yet got that. Now, the European Union elections will be interesting coming up in only months, and that could change things. But yeah, whether the EU are able to remove themselves from China's pocket is a big question, just like it is from the state side, whether you guys can remove yourself from that and China have done well on, I guess, embedding themselves into all our institutions. Look. In Europe, I think the issue with the renewable energy side that they're talking about now and China really dominating that market, that might see them split a little bit with China. So, that'll be interesting to watch to see how the Europeans, which promote climate change, want renewable, want a post-fossil fuel economy, and then go, oh, wait a minute now. We want a post-fossil fuel economy, but we literally have nothing to make a post-fossil fuel economy. Yeah, we have EVs, but we don't have an EV battery maker. Yeah, we have wind, but we have no solar to speak of. If we do, it's small little companies. They're all dominated by the Chinese. It's like Peter and Ken's solar manufacturing plant. We employ a thousand people and we have a few rooftops in southern Spain have our product. But we're not big players. No one's afraid of us. Maybe we're happily employing a few people and making some money until the Chinese come in and buy us out, whatever. They don't have the infrastructure for that. I think I'd be curious to see how Europe reacts to China within the renewable energy space. And I see that as being where China really becomes, well, Europe really splinters off from China because they're not going to be able to compete with China in that market. And they consider that to be, obviously, what Europe always talks about is climate change. They consider that to be probably their most important market in the future. Yeah, 100%. More solar panels from China will solve everything. Yeah, the temperature will fall at least at one degree over the next 20 years Kenneth, I really appreciate you coming on. I've loved following your twitter and obviously your many articles on daily caller. People can get in the description if they're watching. If they're listening it's there as well now the podcast platform so thank you so much for joining us and giving us your thoughts on China. Thanks for having me on Peter, appreciate it.

On final approach to Havana's José Martí International Airport in 1977, the Aeroflot Ilyushin IL-62M with 69 people on board, descended below the clouds and the pilot immediately was confronted with power lines between the plane and the runway – and the runway was close. The pilot attempted to pull the nose up to avoid the powerlines, but the emergency maneuver was not enough – the plane clipped the power lines and the steel-reinforced cables severed the vertical stabilizer from the rest of the plane.  Rendered uncontrollable, the plane pitched sharply down and to the right, impacting the ground within seconds of contact with the power lines. The plane burst into flames, and though the rear of the fuselage was relatively intact, there were only two survivors. What, exactly, happened on this day, some 46 years ago? An airliner from one of the world's largest airlines clipping powerlines? A rookie mistake like this seems impossible. How did – how could – this happen? There aren't many details, but the Radar Contact Lost team examines the details and tries to fill in the blanks.

This is episode 36 and its icy cold out there - it's time to check out the incidents involving icing - starting with a short list and general description of the causes, then focusing on the two Aeroflot Atonovs accidents in 1971 and a design fault in the ATR-72. There's an unfortunately long list of commercial airliners lost due to icing, more than 540 accidents and events caused by aircraft icing by the late 1980s in the United States alone and most of these were fatal. Anti-icing and de-icing research can be traced back to the early 1930s and in 1948, two scientists, AG Preston and Calvin Blackman conducted the first successful iced flight experiment in which the drag coefficient increased by 81% when the wing was covered and the pilot reported the plane was almost beyond control. I'm not sure of what aircraft they used but the results were extraordinary. Other research by NASA on the DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft measured various conditions and ice shapes and their effect on aircraft thrust, landing flaps, and angle of attack. It's thought that the first recorded case of a commercial airplane accident caused by icing occurred on December 15, 1920 when a de Havilland DH.4 mail plane operated by the United States Post Office Department crashed near Belleville, Pennsylvania, in the USA due to ice accumulation on the wings and control surfaces.There was a happier end to another on 19th December 1946 where a Railway Air Service Douglas Dakota 3 stalled on take-off 1 km north-east of Northolt Airport in London. This was the case of the scheduled service to Glasgow Airport from London. Four crew and one passenger were on board .. Yes, you heard correctly, one passenger.So to matters more terminal if you excuse the extremely cheesy aviation pun. That be the highly unusual twin crashes of the Antonovs in 1971 both caused by ice accretion. ot Antonov An-12s crashed on approach to Surgut International Airport, just nine days apart. The crashes occurred under near-identical circumstances due to the aircraft type's lack of preparedness for flying in severe icing conditions. It's the formation of an ice ridge by water droplets beyond the ice protection system and one side anti-icing system that is likely to cause rolling and overturn according to research documents. A case in point of the ridge cause was an ATR-72 crash in 1994. At that time, the airplane was at a severe level of icing condition, and the co-effect of the electric heating de-icing system at the wing leading edge and the natural conditions formed an ice ridge on the second half of the wing, resulting in a negative pressure zone on the one side's aileron.

When planes have to land on water in an emergency, it's an extremely rare and dangerous situation. It takes a skilled pilot and just the right conditions. But what's worse is when the aircraft just falls apart after ditching!   It was August 21, 1963 when the then-Soviet airline Aeroflot was about to perform its regular flight from Tallinn, Estonia to Moscow. There were 45 passengers and 7 crew members onboard the aircraft. What happened to them went down in history ...  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Quando começa a guerra, a primeira vítima é a verdade”. A frase foi dita pelo ex-senador americano, Hiram Johnson, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Cento e cinco anos depois, o Comandante Lito recebe a russa Dasha, que reflete como este conflito de narrativas também está presente na invasão da Ucrânia. Dasha está no Brasil há mais de uma década, evidente em seu português fluente. Com o seu marido, produz conteúdo para o canal “Wally e Dasha - Pensando Alto” onde contam as diferenças (e semelhanças) culturais entre os dois países. Nesta cabine legitimamente internacional, Lito ainda aprende a pronunciar corretamente os clássicos da aviação soviética como “Antonov”, “Tupolev”, “Ilyushin” e “Aeroflot”. E as histórias de aviação não terminam por aí: Dasha é filha de um submarinista que serviu na Crimeia. Por isso, teve a oportunidade de voar num AN-22. Como sua família continua na Rússia, Dasha está habituada com rotas longas. Falando nisso, ela relembra a trajetória da sua bisavó que viveu a Revolução Russa, a 2ª Guerra Mundial e o fim da URSS. Na rota de notícias, a suposta volta da ITA, companhias russas estão proibidas de divulgar informações, operação policial na Aeroflot e vaquinha online para a Ucrânia comprar caças.
