Midden in de Amsterdam-Noord liggen in 1943 de Fokker-fabrieken. Hier worden vliegtuigonderdelen voor het Duitse leger gemaakt. De geallieerden proberen de Nazi's te verzwakken en gaan de fabrieken bombarderen. Van alles er gaat mis. Bep Kasteel zit met honderden andere kinderen in de kerk. Dwars door het dak gaat een bom. Het geschreeuw herinnert zij zich niet meer. Ze voelde helemaal niets, ze dacht dat ze dood was. De Duitse propaganda spint garen bij de mislukte bombardementen. Een Nederlandse verslaggever doet verslag van ‘'heroïsche'' hulp die de Wehrmacht en Hitlerjugend biedt aan de slachtoffers van een bombardement op Haarlem.

The energy is the highest it's ever been. Macross has a two year timeskip and somewhere along the way Robotech has become fully unhinged. The strange ghost of Fokker is here, the racism dials are turned up to 11, 15 monologues are inserted over silence, the narrator is spitting (who let him cook!???) and the inserted lore threatens to tear the show asunder. Lets. Fucking. Goooooo! The great promise of the podcast is finally paid and our blood sacrifice recognized. We also briefly talk about Frasier.

Clement Leone stands in the war room, that is filled with many memories and mementos, at his home in Lake Heritage. He is wearing the Legion of Honor award which he received at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. (Darryl Wheeler/Gettysburg Times) This interview of Clem Leone was conducted at his home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania by John Fenzel and his son Luke, on June 16, 2018.  At the time of this interview, Clem was 94 years old.  The following narrative is derived from multiple sources, detailed at the end of this post.  Many of the photos of awards, models and artifacts were taken at his home. Major Clement “Clem” Leone US Army Air Force   B24 Liberator Radio Operator 2nd Air Division/445th Bomb Group/700th Squadron POW - Stalag Luft IV Poland  Nov. '44 – May ‘45 Clem Leone was born in Baltimore in 1924.  He had two brothers and three sisters and one of his brothers served in the Merchant Marines during WW II.  I asked Clem what he remembered of growing up during the Great Depression.  “It was tough makin' a living.  Not enough food to eat.”  Clem had a step father who was a railroad telegrapher.  “He made an above average salary for the time, but even so, we had to scrounge everywhere we could to get food.”  Clem attended Southern High School, loved his experience, and characterized himself as a nerd.  “I went there to learn and I graduated with honors.” When the war broke out Clem was 17.  He wanted to enlist but his mother wouldn't let him.  “When they started drafting 18 year olds she let me go.”  Clem enlisted in November of '42.  The Army gave him several tests to identify his skills which would then be used to determine his military occupation.  Clem did well on the radio test and had he had the option of radio school or auto and truck mechanic school.  Clem had already taken auto shop in high school so he figured he should learn something else and he selected radio school.  Clem headed to Fort Pickett in Virginia and then to Miami Florida for basic training.  At the time the Army needed radio operators so badly that they shortened his basic training and sent him to radio school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  There he spent 13 weeks having “morse code pounded into you.”  Clem wanted to fly and after passing a physical for flying he went to gunnery school to learn every weapon on the aircraft.  The training was primitive but creative for the time and the technology available.   Next stop for Clem was Boise, Idaho where the gunners were teamed with a pilot, co-pilot, engineer and bombardier.  There were a total of 10 in the crew for the B24 Liberator.  The crew was sent to Sioux Falls where they practiced formation flying and Clem was assigned primary responsibility for the radio and secondary responsibility for the upper machine gun turret.  In November of '43 they left for Europe.  They headed for England via Brazil and then to the Ascension Islands.  “The Ascension Islands were a tiny speck in the middle of the ocean.  My thought right away was, the Navigator just got out of cadet training.  I hope he learned his lessons.”  The Navigator got them to the Ascension Islands where they had Thanksgiving dinner while they plane was serviced.  They then flew to Africa and then to Tibenham, England.  Clem was in the 700th Squadron and Jimmy Stewart was a pilot in the 701st Squadron.  One day Jimmy Stewart needed a radio operator to go on a training flight so he could check out a new pilot.  Clem volunteered.  “He was very strict.  You never would have guessed he was a movie star celebrity.” The crew's first flight in December '43 was a training mission to get accustomed to a new pilot.  During the flight, the number 4 engine caught fire and they were able to extinguish the flames.  The pilot was looking to make an emergency landing when the number 1 engine caught fire.  The pilot hit the bail out button and the crew ejected.  Clem didn't get out of the plane until they were at 800 feet, and he hit the ground so hard he broke his leg.  All but the pilot made it out alive. On February 4th of 1944 they had their first mission that took then into Frankfurt, Germany.  They loaded onto their plane, the “Wacky Donald” and headed for Germany.  Clem recalled the flight was uneventful, with lots of flack but no Nazi fighter planes.  They arrived at their target, dropped their bombs, and started to make their turn to head back to England.  One of the planes in the formation above the Wacky Donald had one bomb stuck in its bomb bay and when it released it hit the number two engine on the Wacky Donald.  Clem looked at the window to find a huge hole in the wing.  This forced them to drop out of formation and head back to Tibenham at a much slower speed than the rest of the formation.  The pilot ordered the crew to throw all non-essential equipment, including all but 50 rounds per machine gun, out of the bomb bay to lighten the plane to maintain their altitude.  They were 5 to 6 hours from home. Clem (lower left) with his crew. Top center is Lt. Robert Blomberg, an up and comer with the 445th Bomb Group who died at the controls when his ship blew up. Others in the crew were also KIA. Notable in this team photo is the small man next to Blomberg, Lt. Donald Widmark, co-pilot and brother of future actor Richard Widmark. The co-pilot would grab a parachute and leave Blomberg behind 75 years ago today. Clem's personal rule was to stay with the ship as long as the officers did, but when he saw Widmark bail out, he said, “It was time for this guy to go.” The plane and crew limped home and didn't hit any resistance until they received heavy flack over the coast of France just before they headed over the English Channel.  The plane dropped to about 4,000 feet and then received a radio transmission, “fighters at 6 o'clock.”  Two ME-109 were closing on the Wacky Donald.  Clem was in the upper gun turret and swung the guns around and took aim at the ME-109's.  Another transmission blared “fighters at 12 o'clock.”  Clem pivoted to 12 o'clock and saw a wonderful sight; two British Spitfires.  “Boy, they were beautiful.”  The Spitfires took out one of the Nazi planes and one of the Spitfires chased the other ME-109 back to France.  The Wacky Donald continued back to their air field and Clem recalled, “The White Cliffs of Dover….man they were beautiful!”.  The runway came into sight, but the excitement wasn't over.  The pilot said “I have to put us into a dive to get enough speed to land.  Put the landing gear into the down position and just pray they lock.”  Their prayers were answered, and the pilot got them home in one piece.  “None of us were hurt, but we did a lot of sweating.” With two near misses under his belt Clem flew 4 more missions into Germany and France without incident.  With D-Day looming, Operation Argument was developed.  The objective was sustained and heavy bombing of aviation related targets in Germany.  This was also known as “Big Week”.  The crew of the "Wacky Donald" received orders to bomb a ball bearing plant in Gotha Germany, 145 miles west of Dresden.  “That was a long flight.”  The 20 plane formation took off on February 24 '44.  While making their way to the target they came under attack by the Luftwaffe using Fokker 190's.   The enemy aircraft unleashed a barrage of incendiary rockets directly at the aft section of the "Wacky Donald." Clem was on the radio when he heard a tremendous explosion and saw flames begin to consume the plane. Amidst the chaos and the 200-mile-per-hour slipstream, Clem gripped the barrels of the top turret machine gun, a desperate attempt to maintain some semblance of control.  He looked around and found the tail gunner dead and half hanging out of the plane and one of the waist gunners dead in his position.  The other waist gunner was wounded but managed to eject.  The ball turret gunner came up to escape the fire, but he had to go back and retrieve his parachute leaving Clem and the Engineer to fight the flames with the fire extinguishers.  That proved to be pointless as massive amounts of hydraulic fluid fed the flames.  In a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, Clem's dire circumstances took a dramatic turn.  The co-pilot climbed over Clem and exited the plane through the upper hatch and bailed out.  Clem's theory was, “if the pilot or the co-pilot leaves, it's time for this boy to go.”  Later Clem learned that 13 of the 20 planes in his formation were shot down. The engulfing fire reached the wing tanks, triggering a catastrophic explosion that instantly transformed the night sky. The force of the blast was so intense that it rendered Technical Sgt. Leone unconscious and propelled him clear of the disintegrating aircraft, setting him on a terrifying free-fall towards the earth below. Plummeting from an altitude of perhaps 10,000 feet, Clem was unconscious, his body hurtling down at a speed that should have guaranteed a fatal outcome upon impact. However, fate had other plans for the feisty airman. In a miraculous twist of events, Clem regained consciousness mid-fall, his face covered in blood, yet his mind startlingly clear. With death staring him in the face, he managed to summon his wits, frantically searching for the orange metal ring on his chest that stood between life and certain death. With a decisive yank, Clem pulled the ring, deploying his parachute and transitioning from a deathly free-fall to a controlled descent. Despite his injuries, including fractured ribs sustained upon impact, Clem survived the ordeal, a testament to his incredible resilience and presence of mind in the face of overwhelming adversity. This harrowing experience not only showcased Clem's indomitable spirit but also marked the beginning of an extraordinary tale of survival against all odds.   Clem put on his parachute and climbed through the upper hatch.  At this point the plane was still flying 240 mph and Clem had to hold on to the two upper guns to keep from blowing off.  The plane was being consumed by flames and Clem was trying to decide how to exit the plane without getting caught in the spinning props or being thrown into the big double tail in the rear.  “While I was contemplating what to do apparently the ship exploded because I found myself at 14,000 feet without an airplane.”   Clem knew he was over enemy territory, and his mind was spinning on how to avoid capture.  His chute opened without a problem and he could see below that there was a pond and he was headed straight into it.  “Well wouldn't you know it, I got out of the plane safely and here I am going to land in this pond and drown because I can't swim.”  Luckily, he remembered his training on how to use his cords to direct his landing.  At about 8,000 feet he saw a crowd of civilians running toward him.  Now he remembered being told that German civilians would kill American pilots because they were told they were gangsters. Clem made sure to pull his legs up so he wouldn't break them and instead broke three ribs and hurt his back. With the crowd rapidly approaching, Clem pulled out his sidearm to try and defend himself.  He could hear them yelling, “Hollander, Hollander!”  He then realized he wasn't in Germany but rather occupied Netherlands.  Clem motioned them to come closer and tried to use his language card to speak Dutch but to no avail.  They brought Clem to a farmhouse and gave him a slice of bread with some jelly and a drink.  Clem didn't know what to expect so he gave the Dutch his firearm in case he was captured.  Better the Dutch to have it than the Nazi's.  Then came a knock at the door and it was a member of the German Home Guard; A Dutch citizen in a Nazi uniform who said, “you are my prisoner.  For you the war is over.”  Clem was led down a road by the Home Guard followed by the Dutch villagers.  Clem was directed to enter a civilian camp, but the Dutch were yelling, “no, other way!”  A 17 year old ran up to Clem and said “come” and he began running.  Without thinking Clem took off with him.  At the same time the Dutch villagers handled the guard.  “They beat the daylights out of him!” They ran into the woods and took Clem to a camouflaged underground bunker just big enough for a cot and a bucket for a latrine.  They told him to stay put and they would be back as soon as the Nazi's stopped looking for him.  A few days later they returned with a doctor.  The doctor taped his ribs and gave him some pain killers and the Dutch brought him some food.  Clem was told he would have to stay put until the villagers were able to hand him off to the Dutch underground.  He hid in the shelter for a week.  One day he heard a truck pull up and was sure the Nazi's had finally found him.  Instead, it was the Dutch underground and Clem's luck continued.  The underground took him to Amsterdam where a family hid him for a while.  They hid him in the attic and sometimes closets.  In the evenings they took him out for walks. They were trying to arrange to get Clem into France and then over the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain and from there to England. The underground thought they had found safe passage and they took Clem and began walking south until they eventually came to a train station, and they handed Clem off to a guide to take him the rest of the way.  At the train station a Nazi soldier asked him where the train was headed.  Clem was dressed in civilian clothes and had identification papers that identified him as a deaf and dumb accountant from Sumatra.  They chose Sumatra because of Clem's Mediterranean complexion and Sumatra was a Dutch possession.  They took the train to a farmhouse in southern Holland and then walked to the border of Belgium.  At the border they had to time the patrols of the Belgium border guards so they could slip across the border.  Once across the border there was a truck waiting for them that took them into Antwerp. Clem was taken to a home where he was hidden for a short time until the underground felt they had another contact that could take him into France.  After exchanging pleasantries, the contact started asking Clem about the name of his plane, when he was shot down and who had helped him.  Clem made up stories about why he couldn't remember and gave up no information.  At that point he was led to a building and was handed over to the Nazi's.  After four and a half months Clem was no longer free.  It was July of 1944 and he had no idea when the war would be over.  I asked Clem what went through his mind at that point.  He said, “I thought it was all over.”  Clem was put in a prison cell with another American that had been captured, Odell Hooper from Oklahoma.  They remained there for about a week until the Nazis had accumulated more Americans.  They were then put on a passenger train to an interrogation center. “All that time, all my mom had was the telegram she received telling her I was shot down,” Leone said. “She didn't know whether I was dead or alive.” At the interrogation center they were put into solitary for a week.  When Clem was brought before the Nazi interrogation officer he was asked for his name, rank, and serial number.  The Nazi, in a very friendly manner said, “Leone.  That's Italian.  Aren't you fighting for the wrong side?”  Clem gave then no information and was sent back to his cell.  Next, they were taken by train to Stalag Luft IV located in present day Tychowo, Poland just south of the Baltic Sea.  Clem remembered when they stepped off the train they saw a long line of German guards, all very young in age and holding German Shepherds.  The Americans were told to run into the POW camp while the guards allowed the dogs to nip at their heels.  When Clem's group made it inside the camp the resident POWs told them, “You were lucky.  They usually prod you with bayonets.” “The Americans already there said we were lucky,” Leone remembered. “The captain who would prick people with bayonets had just gone on leave.” In eight months, Leone had one shower. Had him and his comrades known about the Jewish concentration camps, he admitted they probably wouldn't have gotten even the one shower so as to avoid being gassed. The camp held mainly allied air crews and most of the guards were from the Luftwaffe.  There was a connection between the aircrews which made life a tiny bit more bearable.  Clem was led to his cell by an elderly Nazi soldier who told him, “this won't be pleasant but its bearable and you will be able to live through it and you will be able to get to go home.”  Clem was offered the opportunity to be placed in the officer's camp as an orderly, but he refused.  He wanted to be with the NCO's.   The POWs were warned not to cross the warning wire” that extended around the perimeter of the camp.  If they stepped across it, they would be shot without warning.  Beyond the warning wire there was a series of fences and barbed wire entanglements to make sure no one thought of escape.  Food did exist and red Cross parcels were delivered with some regularity and had some nutrition in them.  Meals consisted of raw potatoes and bread with sticks in it.  Once they were given a block of cheese infested with bugs.  To pass the time they walked around the perimeter of the camp, played baseball with make-shift bats and balls, and played football with a make-shift football. The guards inside the camp were elderly and unarmed.  The POWs called them ferrets because they were always trying to get information from the POWs to pass along to the camp commandant.  The guards in the towers and in the Commandant's barracks were armed.  “They were nasty, and they all spoke perfect English.”  Bartering in the camp with the guards was a big business.  Cigarettes and spam carried high currency.   One of the men bartered with a guard for parts to a radio which he built into a functional transistor radio which kept the POWs somewhat informed of the progress of the war.  They knew the Allies were winning and that helped with morale. In January of '45 the Allies were advancing into Nazi Territory.  The men at the camp could hear artillery in the distance.  They thought Liberation could be not far away.  The Nazi's decided to evacuate the camp to avoid the Russian troops advancing from the east.  They decided to march the camp west.  The sick and wounded were transported by train.  On February 6, 1945, the remaining men began what would become known as the German Death March.   The men were assembled in columns of 4 or 5 across and were forced to march between 5 and 20 miles each day.  The men had inadequate clothing to provide them protection from one of Germany's harshest winters on record.  Snow and sub-zero temperatures resulted in frost bite and the complete lack of sanitation, food or drink resulted in extreme weight loss, lice, dysentery and in some cases death.  Men who could not keep up were escorted by a Nazi soldier into the woods and executed.  Sometimes the men were able to sleep in barns but often they slept in open fields exposed to the elements.  The march took the POWs through numerous German towns where they were distained by the German citizens who had endured prolonged and devastating Allied bombing.  They threw eggs and tomatoes and tried to assault the POWs.   They stole eggs for food. At one point, they collected all their cigarettes to trade with a farmer for a pig to roast. They dodged friendly fire from U.S. airplanes that had no way of knowing they were American prisoners. “Survival,” Leone said when asked what was going through his mind during the more than a year he spent in Europe. “How's this gonna end? What are they finally gonna do? Any time you don't have your freedom, I think you'd feel that way. The worst part of it as far as not having your freedom was that week in solitary.” Clem believes the march ended on May 6th, 1945.  That day they woke up and found that the guards had disappeared.   The POWs wondered what had happened.  A short while later they heard engines and soon a British Lorry appeared carrying British soldiers.    The number of men thought to have started the march was 6,000+.  The total time estimated for the march was 86 days.  It is believed the men covered 600+ miles as the Nazi's continually changed direction to avoid the advancing Soviet troops.  It is thought that 1,300+ men perished in the harsh winter conditions.  No official records were kept making it hard to get precise numbers.  Despite the lack of records this forced march is often compared to the Bataan Death March. The British took the POWs clothes and burned them.  They deloused the men and gave them plenty of time to take a nice hot shower.  Initially they were issued small portions of rations until their digestive systems became accustomed to food again.  Clem boarded the ship, The Jonathan Worth for a 13 day voyage home.  When they entered New York Harbor they were greeted with pleasure boats “with gals in bikini's and some of them had records playing don't fence me in.”  I asked Clem if he remembered seeing the Statute of Liberty.  “Oh Yes.  That was a wonderful site!”  Next, they were taken to Fort Dix and were given a big steak dinner.  They were permitted one phone call and Clem called his uncle to come pick him up.   Clem arrived back in Baltimore and had a 60 day recuperation furlough.  He looked up his high school sweetheart who had waited for him to return and they decided to get married and move to Miami where Clem was scheduled to report back for duty.  They were married and before they left on their honeymoon Clem received a letter to be ready to deploy to the Pacific.  Fortunately, when he returned from his honeymoon the war was over.   Clem went about building his life with a keen sense for making money and advancing.  He worked as an auto mechanic, then networked his way into a Pontiac dealership in the service area, became shop foreman and then went into sales and various other roles in the car business.  In a chance meeting someone asked him if he had ever considered teaching auto mechanics.  He had not but decided to give it a try because it had a pension.  Clem ended up teaching high school auto mechanics for 22 years and was beloved by his students.  He also stayed in the Army and Air Force Reserves for 33 years reaching the rank of Major.  “In my opinion, there are no real heroes in a war,” Leone said from his Mount Joy home in the Lake Heritage development. “There's nothing glorious about war. It's mayhem.” Clem Leone passed away at the age of 98 on Wednesday, September 28, 2022.  CLem received France's highest award, the Legion of Honor, at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and also received the Purple Heart, the POW Award and the Dutch equivalent to the French Legion of Honor.

**AVIATION NEWS✈️**    This was a bad week for aviation safety. Airlink flight 4Z 204, operated by an Embraer 135 Regional Jet, experienced a runway excursion upon landing at Pemba in Mozambique. The aircraft had 32 passengers and three crew members on board, all of whom disembarked safely.   50 passengers & 3 crew members are safe after their American Airlines Embraer ERJ-145LR plane(N922AE) operating Flight 5811 slid off the runway this evening during landing at Greater Rochester International Airport.   One pilot was killed and the other injured after a Fokker 50 operated by Kenya's Jetways Airline crashed a building in Somalia.   An Ethiopian Airlines De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 suffered a runway excursion and landing gear collapse after landing at Mekele Airport today in Ethiopia, with no injuries reported.   CHAPTER MARKERS

Oh no Fokker is dead! Alas! It was so sad we missed last week, we were just sobbing and crying the whole time and eating basically only pineapple salad to make ourselves feel better about it. Anyway we also talk about the one good scene in this episode (Blue Wind), our holiday gifts to each other, and also what we think of the new Sentai suits. Also Harmony Gold if you saw us upload the first draft of this we're sorry please don't sue us it was an accident.

Actrice Renée Fokker schitterde in meerdere films, waaronder Oh Baby!, Het Paradijs en Blind Date, waarvoor zij een gouden kalf won. Ook was ze voor langere tijd verbonden aan de toneelgroep Amsterdam. Daarnaast verscheen zij in meerdere televisieprogramma's, zo was zij de mol in het programma Wie is de Mol? en nam ze deel aan De Slimste Mens. Komend theaterseizoen is ze te zien in de nieuwe voorstelling Fokker Blankers Tol, waarin zij samen met Anne Wil Blankers en Henriëtte Tol een toneelstuk voordraagt over drie sterke vrouwen die beginnen te wankelen. Femke van der Laan gaat met Renée Fokker in gesprek.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met schrijfster Marijke Schermer en actrice Henriëtte Tol. Marijke Schermer schreef een nieuw toneelstuk over drie sterke vrouwen, die beginnen te wankelen. Deze tragikomedie genaamd 'Fokker Blankers Tol' is geïnspireerd op drie actrices die hun sporen in de toneelwereld allang verdiend hebben, namelijk Anne Wil Blankers, de grande dame van het Nederlands toneel, Henriëtte Tol en Renée Fokker. Het stuk gaat over drie zussen die elkaar treffen op een moment dat voor iedereen een kruispunt blijkt te zijn.    

….maar even serieus: het gaat óók over heden & verleden van Fokker, over de moeizame relatie tussen KLM en Airbus, over Rob en Cynthia die boven Apeldoorn kibbelen, over het geheugen van uw spieren in de cockpit, en natuurlijk weer eens over het Mooiste Vliegtuig. Tot slot gaat het helaas nìet over wat u op 22 november luchtvaart-technisch moet gaan stemmen. Dat bewaren we, met het vervolg van het het gedoe rond JetBlue, voor de volgende keer. 

It's the fifth episode, and Manny gets pushed to his absolute limit having to talk about way too much stand shit! However, we pool together our rage into a more deserving foe: minor continuity snarls! It's the cinema sins style criticism you've been waiting for! Also up for discussion: Fokker and Foe-ker switching sides on the toxic masculinity scale, Miclones vs Micronians, and sassy Minmay!Standing Ovation: 10:35-21:00Stand(s?)

Germany's most famous fighter pilot, Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (aka ‘The Red Baron') was shot down near the Somme River on the Western Front, on 21st April 1918. He had been credited with an incredible 80 air combat victories during World War I.  Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Imperial Air Service and downed 15 enemy planes by the end of 1916. He then headed up his own regiment, using a Fokker triplane painted entirely red; his unit becoming known as the ‘Flying Circus' because of their brightly-coloured planes. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why even the Allies liked Richthofen; reveal why the Baron stopped printing up souvenir silverware for each of his kills; and consider the fate of the Broadway musical inspired by his heroism…  Further Reading: • ‘History of Government: They seek him here… the life and death of the Red Baron' (UK Government blog, 2018): https://history.blog.gov.uk/2018/04/20/they-seek-him-here-the-life-and-death-of-the-red-baron/ • ‘Ace for the Ages: World War I Fighter Pilot Manfred von Richthofen' (HistoryNet, 2006): https://www.historynet.com/red-baron-world-war-i-ace-fighter-pilot-manfred-von-richthofen/?f • ‘The Red Baron & The Flying Circus in full HD at 1080p' (Historical Aviation Film Unit, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4lDB7lXFOg #Germany #War #1910s We'll be back on Monday - unless you join 

Humans have probably considered flight since they found birds. As far as 228 million years ago, the Pterosaurs used flight to reign down onto other animals from above and eat them. The first known bird-like dinosaur was the Archaeopteryx, which lived around 150 million years ago. It's not considered an ancestor of modern birds - but other dinosaurs from the same era, the theropods, are. 25 million years later, in modern China, the Confuciusornis sanctus had feathers and could have flown. The first humans wouldn't emerge from Africa until 23 million years later. By the 2300s BCE, the Summerians depicted shepherds riding eagles, as humanity looked to the skies in our myths and legends. These were creatures, not vehicles. The first documented vehicle of flight was as far back as the 7th century BCE when the Rāmāyana told of the Pushpaka Vimāna, a palace made by Vishwakarma for Brahma, complete with chariots that flew the king Rama high into the atmosphere. The Odyssey was written around the same time and tells of the Greek pantheon of Gods but doesn't reference flight as we think of it today. Modern interpretations might move floating islands to the sky, but it seems more likely that the floating island of Aeollia is really the islands off Aeolis, or Anatolia, which we might refer to as the modern land of Turkey.  Greek myths from a few hundred years later introduced more who were capable of flight. Icarus flew into the sun with wings that had been fashioned by Daedalus. By then, they could have been aware, through trade routes cut by Alexander and later rulers, of kites from China. The earliest attempts at flight trace their known origins to 500 BCE in China. Kites were, like most physical objects, heavier than air and could still be used to lift an object into flight. Some of those early records even mention the ability to lift humans off the ground with a kite. The principle used in kites was used later in the development of gliders and then when propulsion was added, modern aircraft. Any connection between any of these is conjecture as we can't know how well the whisper net worked in those ages. Many legends are based on real events. The history of humanity is vast and many of our myths are handed down through the generations. The Greeks had far more advanced engineering capabilities than some of the societies that came after. They were still weary of what happened if they flew too close to the sun. In fact, emperors of China are reported to have forced some to leap from cliffs on a glider as a means of punishment. Perhaps that was where the fear of flight for some originated from. Chinese emperor Wang Mang used a scout with bird features to glide on a scouting mission around the same time as the Icarus myth might have been documented. Whether this knowledge informed the storytellers Ovid documented in his story of Icarus is lost to history, since he didn't post it to Twitter. Once the Chinese took the string off the kite and they got large enough to fly with a human, they had also developed hang gliders. In the third century BCE, Chinese inventors added the concept of rotors for vertical flight  when they developed helicopter-style toys. Those were then used to frighten off enemies. Some of those evolved into the beautiful paper lanterns that fly when lit.There were plenty of other evolutions and false starts with flight after that. Abbas ibn Ferns also glided with feathers in the 9th century. A Benedictine monk did so again in the 11th century. Both were injured when they jumped out of towers in the Middle Ages that spanned the Muslim Golden Age to England.  Leonardo da Vinci studied flight for much of his life. His studies produced another human-power ornithopter and other contraptions; however he eventually realized that humans would not be able to fly on their own power alone. Others attempted the same old wings made of bird feathers, wings that flapped on the arms, wings tied to legs, different types of feathers, finding higher places to jump from, and anything they could think of. Many broke bones, which continued until we found ways to supplement human power to propel us into the air. Then a pair of brothers in the Ottoman Empire had some of the best luck. Hezarafen Ahmed Çelebi crossed the Bosphorus strait on a glider. That was 1633, and by then gunpowder already helped the Ottomans conquer Constantinople. That ended the last vestiges of ancient Roman influence along with the Byzantine empire as the conquerers renamed the city to Instanbul. That was the power of gunpowder. His brother then built a rocket using gunpowder and launched himself high in the air, before he glided back to the ground.  The next major step was the hot air balloon. The modern hot air balloon was built by the Montgolfier brothers in France and first ridden in 1783 and (Petrescu & Petrescu, 2013). 10 days later, the first gas balloon was invented by Nicholas Louis Robert and Jacques Alexander Charles. The gas balloon used hydrogen and in 1785, used to cross the English Channel. That trip sparked the era of dirigibles. We built larger balloons to lift engines with propellers. That began a period that culminated with the Zeppelin. From the 1700s and on, much of what da Vinci realized was rediscovered, but this time published, and the body of knowledge built out. The physics of flight were then studied as new sciences emerged. Sir George Cayley started to actually apply physics to flight in the 1790s.  Powered Flight We see this over and over in history; once we understand the physics and can apply science, progress starts to speed up. That was true when Archimedes defined force multipliers with the simple machines in the 3rd century BCE, true with solid state electronics far later, and true with Cayley's research. Cayley conducted experiments, documented his results, and proved hypotheses. He finally got to codifying bird flight and why it worked. He studied the Chinese tops that worked like modern helicopters. He documented glided flight and applied math to why it worked. He defined drag and measured the force of windmill blades. In effect, he got to the point that he knew how much power was required based on the ratio of weight to actually sustain flight. Then to achieve that, he explored the physics of fixed-wing aircraft, complete with an engine, tail assembly, and fuel. His work culminated in a work called “On Aerial Navigation” that was published in 1810.  By the mid-1850s, there was plenty of research that flowed into the goal for sustained air travel. Ideas like rotors led to rotor crafts. Those were all still gliding. Even with Cayley's research, we had triplane gliders, gliders launched from balloons. After that, the first aircrafts that looked like the modern airplanes we think of today were developed. Cayley's contributions were profound. He even described how to mix air with gasoline to build an engine. Influenced by his work, others built propellers. Some of those were steam powered and others powered by tight springs, like clockworks. Aeronautical societies were created, wing counters and cambering were experimented with, and wheels were added to try to lift off. Some even lifted a little off the ground. By the 1890s, the first gasoline powered biplane gliders were developed and flown, even if those early experiments crashed. Humanity was finally ready for powered flight. The Smithsonian housed some of the earliest experiments. They hired their third director, Samuel Langley, in 1887. He had been interested in aircraft for decades and as with many others had studied the Cayley work closely. He was a consummate tinkerer and had already worked in solar physics and developed the Allegheny Time System. The United States War department gave him grants to pursue his ideas to build an airplane. By then, there was enough science that humanity knew it was possible to fly and so there was a race to build powered aircraft. We knew the concepts of drag, rudders, thrust from some of the engineering built into ships. Some of that had been successfully used in the motorcar. We also knew how to build steam engines, which is what he used in his craft. He called it the Aerodrome and built a number of models. He was able to make it further than anyone at the time. He abandoned flight in 1903 when someone beat him to the finish line.  That's the year humans stepped beyond gliding and into the first controlled, sustained, and powered flight. There are reports that Gustave Whitehead beat the Wright Brothers, but he didn't keep detailed notes or logs, and so the Wrights are often credited with the discovery. They managed to solve the problem of how to roll, built steerable rudders, and built the first biplane with an internal combustion engine. They flew their first airplane out of North Carolina when Orville Wright went 120 feet and his brother went 852 feet later that day. That plane now lives at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC and December 17th, 1903 represents the start of the age of flight. The Wright's spent two years testing gliders and managed to document their results. They studied in wind tunnels, tinkered with engines, and were methodical if not scientific in their approach. They didn't manage to have a public demonstration until 1908 though and so there was a lengthy battle over the patents they filed. Turns out it was a race and there were a lot of people who flew within months of one another. Decades of research culminated into what had to be: airplanes. Innovation happened quickly. Flight improved enough that planes could cross English Channel by 1909. There were advances after that, but patent wars over the invention drug on and so investors stayed away from the unproven technology.  Flight for the Masses The superpowers of the world were at odds for the first half of the 1900s. An Italian pilot flew a reconnaissance mission in Libya in the Italo-Turkish war in 1911. It took only 9 days before they went from just reconnaissance and dropped grenades on Turkish troops from the planes. The age of aerial warfare had begun. The Wrights had received an order for the first plane from the military back in 1908. Military powers took note and by World War I there was an air arm of every military power. Intelligence wins wars. The innovation was ready for the assembly lines, so during and after the war, the first airplane manufacturers were born. Dutch engineer Anthony Fokker was inspired by Wilbur Wright's exhibition in 1908. He went on to start a company and design the Fokker M.5, which evolved into the Fokker E.I. after World War I broke out in 1914. They mounted a machine gun and synchronized it to the  propeller in 1915. Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, flew one before he upgraded to the Fokker D.VII and later an Albatros. Fokker made it all the way into the 1990s before they went bankrupt. Albatros was founded in 1909 by Enno Huth, who went on to found the German Air Force before the war. The Bristol Aeroplane Company was born in 1910 after Sir George White, who was involved in transportation already, met Wilbur Wright in France. Previous companies were built to help hobbyists, similar to how many early PC companies came from inventors as well. This can be seen with people like Maurice Mallet, who helped design gas balloons and dirigibles. He licensed airplane designs to Bristol who later brought in Frank Barnwell and other engineers that helped design the Scout. They based the Bristol Fighters that were used in World War I on those designs. Another British manufacturer was Sopwith, started by Thomas Sopwith, who taught himself to fly and then started a company to make planes. They built over 16,000 by the end of the war. After the war they pivoted to make ABC motorcycles and eventually sold to Hawker Aircraft in 1920, which later sold to Raytheon.  The same paradigm played out elsewhere in the world, including the United States. Once those patent disputes were settled, plenty knew flight would help change the world. By 1917 the patent wars in the US had to end as the countries contributions to flight suffered. No investor wanted to touch the space and so there was a lack of capital to expand. Orville Write passed away in 1912 and Wilbur sold his rights to the patents, so the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, stepped in and brought all the parties to the table to develop a cross-licensing organization. After almost 25 years, we could finally get innovation in flight back on track globally. In rapid succession, Loughead Aircraft, Lockheed, and Douglas Aircraft were founded. Then Jack Northrop left those and started his own aircraft company. Boeing was founded in 1957 as Aero Products and then United Aircraft, which was spun off into United Airlines as a carrier in the 1930s with Boeing continuing to make planes. United was only one of many a commercial airline that was created. Passenger air travel started after the first air flights with the first airline ferrying passengers in 1914. With plenty of airplanes assembled at all these companies, commercial travel was bound to explode into its own big business. Delta started as a cropdusting service in Macon, Georgia in 1925 and has grown into an empire. The worlds largest airline at the time of this writing is American Airlines, which started in 1926 when a number of smaller airlines banded together. Practically every country had at least one airline. Pan American (Panam for short) in 1927, Ryan Air started in 1926, Slow-Air in 1924, Finnair in 1923, Quantus in 1920, KLM in 1919, and the list goes on. Enough that the US passed the Air Commerce Act in 1926, which over time led to the department of Air Commerce, which evolved into the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA we know today. Aircrafts were refined and made more functional. World War I brought with it the age of aerial combat. Plenty of supply after the war and then the growth of manufacturers Brough further innovation to compete with one another, and commercial aircraft and industrial uses (like cropdusting) enabled more investment into R&D In 1926, the first flying boat service was inaugurated from New York to Argentina. Another significant development in aviation was in the 1930s when the jet engine was invented. This invention was done by Frank Whittle who registered a turbojet engine patent. A jet plane was also developed by Hans von Ohain and was called the Heinkel He 178 (Grant, 2017).  The plane first flew in 1939, but the Whittle jet engine is the ancestor of those found in planes in World War II and beyond. And from there to the monster airliners and stealth fighters or X-15 becomes a much larger story. The aerospace industry continued to innovate both in the skies and into space.  The history of flight entered another phase in the Cold War. Rand corporation developed the concept of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (or ICBMs) and the Soviet Union launched the first satellite into space in 1957.  Then in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the first landing on the moon and we continued to launch into space throughout the 1970s to 1990s, before opening up space travel to private industry. Those projects got bigger and bigger and bigger. But generations of enthusiasts and engineers were inspired by devices far smaller, and without pilots in the device.

Christiaan van Heijst was born in the Netherlands in 1983. At the age of 20 he was hired as a First Officer on the Fokker 50 Turboprop, flying all over Europe, for multiple African airlines and as a military contractor in Afghanistan. A few years later, he moved to the Boeing 737, flying all over Europe. During that time, he was also working as a freelance ferry- & test pilot for a commercial service provider. After 4,5 years on the Boeing 737 he was hired as a First Officer on the Boeing 747-400. Christiaan has been flying the Boeing 747 for over twelve years now and has seen a large variety of destinations and landscapes from that flightdeck, leading to the position of Captain today. He has close to 9,500 hours flight time, including over 6,000 hours on the Boeing 747. In addition, Christiaan has become well-known for his aerial photography, which has been reproduced widely in print and online. His photos have been shared worldwide by media, including CNN, BBC, TIMES, Daily Mail, National Geographic and the list is constantly growing. During those years he has seen a large array of fascinating things from the sky and even captured some with his camera. The majority of these sightings have been identified and explained, but a couple of them are still genuine unknowns.

Todos saben que la marca sueca Saab antes de hacer coches hacían aviones. Pero poco que la marca española AVIA antes de hacer camiones y autobuses hacían aviones… Los AVIA fueron unos excelentes camiones, no muy conocidos y con una historia muy interesante. En los 70 y hasta mediados de los 80 había un cierto “pique” entre los partidarios de los camiones Barreiros y de los Pegaso… Pero no eran los únicos camiones. Es cierto que prácticamente monopolizaban el sector de los grandes, pero entre los ligeros estaban los Ebro y, mis favoritos, los Avia. Me parecían más bonitos, modernos y “aerodinámicos” que sus rivales… y no iba desencaminado. Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. En 1923 el Sr. Jorge Loring Martínez creó en el madrileñísimo barrio de Carabanchel Alto una compañía dedicada a la fabricación de material aeronáutico llamada Talleres J. Loring. En 1934, que España ya vivía una situación pre-bélica su empresa crece y se convierte en una sociedad anónima, pasando a denominarse Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. (AISA), y fabricando aviones para el gobierno de la República, aviones de entrenamiento bajo licencia Fokker y diferentes versiones del curioso autogiro “La Cierva”. Nace AVIA. En la España de esos años no había de nada. Centrándonos en el parque automovilístico, la guerra había hecho estragos y los vehículos que quedaban eran pocos, en mal estado y peor mantenidos. Y en España, convertida en autarquía, no entra nada de fuera. La dirección de la empresa busca nuevas áreas de negocio. Incluso se fabrica menaje de cocina, pero con visión de negocio, se crea en 1957 una sección dedicada a la fabricación inicialmente de motocarros denominada AVIA. EL AVIA 200 se diseña desde cero, utilizando un motor Hispano-Villiers de 197 cm3, 8,4 CV, bastantes para la época y, por supuesto, 2 tiempos. Era un motocarro moderno, con frenos hidráulicos, capacidad para 500 kg y el único homologado en su tiempo para tres personas. INI, dinero y tecnología. AVIA vendió un 33 por ciento de su empresa al INI, Instituto Nacional de Industria, dependiente del Estado. De este modo, con la llegada del INI, AVIA consiguió dinero y tecnología para dar el siguiente paso: Fabricar camiones. En 1960 se presentó el camión madrileño, el AVIA 2500, con motor Perkins de 61 CV y diseñado con la ayuda del departamento técnico de Pegaso. El AVIA 2500 era un camión muy destacable para la época. Su cabina, diseñada nada menos que por Pedro Serra, resultaba mucho más bonita, moderna y hasta aerodinámica que sus rivales. Y tanto en la cabina, como en el resto de componentes, la calidad aeronáutica se dejaba notar. Además, eran económicos de compra y mantenimiento, aunque nunca tuvieron una ventaja que si acabaron teniendo sus rivales: La cabina abatible. AVIA crece. Tras el 2.500 y con cabina casi idéntica, llega el 4000, con motor Perkins de 4,2 litros y 68 CV. Entre 1962 y 1973 a gama crece con modelos de entre 1.500 kg y 7.000 kg de carga útil y pasa a fabricarse en Setúbal, Portugal bajo la marca SODAG. Ya para entonces la marca tenía fama de construir camiones con un nivel de calidad superior a la competencia, especialmente en lo referido a acabados. Y esto la sitúa en muy buena posición para fabricar autobuses y autocares. Ya con la base del 3.500 AVIA fabricaba microbuses de 16 plazas, pero quieren ir más lejos. Y para ello se asocia con su Rival, Motor Ibérica, cuya marca comercial es EBRO. Al final AVIA acabaría convirtiéndose en una especie de segunda marca algo más premium de EBRO. Fabricó furgonetas e incluso las pequeñas Siata sobre base Seat 600 y 850 se pudieron ver con marca AVIA. Pero su alianza con EBRO fue una alianza envenenada. Motor Ibérica, propietaria de la marca EBRO, primero con el apoyo de Ford y luego con el de Massey Fergusson, ambos accionistas en su momento, EBRO toma la delantera, por ejemplo, al presentar su canina abatible en su serie D. y Motor Ibérica decide hacerse con el control de AVIA y en 1984 desaparece la marca. La fábrica, que en esos momentos estaba en la localidad madrileña de Cuatro Vientos, una zona con mucha influencia aeronáutica, cierra … una verdadera pena. Luego llegó Nissan y la que desapareció fue EBRO… Camión del día. No lo puedo evitar, aunque los más modernos de cabina más cuadrada me gustan, los primeros Avia 2.500 y 3.500 con esa cabina redondeada en el frontal me parecen más personales que ninguna otra. Pude conducir uno e incluso en vacío, con sus 61 CV, requería paciencia. No quiero ni pensar en un viaje a plena carga por las carreteras de finales de los años `60 en España. Si los camioneros me parecen, aún hoy día, unos héroes, entonces lo eran aún más, Hay otra marca AVIA que desde 1919 fabrica aviones, camiones y furgonetas sin ninguna relación con la española. Era una empresa checa ahora en manos de la empresa india Hinduja.

A Fokker 100 crashes shortly after taking off in Brazil. TAM Flight 402 has an autothrottle failure during the takeoff roll. The pilots on board take the correct actions against this and continue with their takeoff. Shortly after lifting off the runway, the throttle for one of the engines reduces to idle. The crew fights against this but the throttle keeps falling back to idle. Quickly the pilots lose control of the plane and it crashes into the ground. What was wrong with the throttles on board this aircraft?

Jullie maken The Trueman Show en onze tours mogelijk!   We zijn dit keer uitgenodigd in Exmorra, een dorpje in het Friese noorden met leuke huisjes en een eeuwen oud kerkje. Jaap Raamijer verwelkomt ons in zijn Grutterswinkeltje, waar we bij het zien van alle potjes, pannetjes, oude blikken, handgebakken muurtegeltjes en zelfs nog een bedstede, honderd jaar terug in de tijd stappen. Jaap lijdt ons rond door zijn bijzondere verzameling van spullen, schilderijen, foto's en boeken. Hij neemt ons mee in de verhalen over zijn verleden, de geschiedenis van deze plek en hij vertelt ons over alle kennis die opgeslagen ligt in zijn bibliotheek met duizenden boeken. Op een locatie met al deze historie is dit de perfecte plek om met Jaap in gesprek te gaan.     Jaap is schrijver, fotograaf, coach en gids. Met zijn brede interesse volgde hij meerdere studies, was hij in dienst van de Koninklijke Marine en via zijn baan bij Fokker kwam hij in aanraking met zeer geavanceerde technologieën en artificial intelligence. Jaap kocht een stuk land in de buurt van Rennes-le-Château in Frankrijk, waar hij vele reizigers en spirituele groepen ontving en ook deelnam aan de bijzondere ceremonies. Jaap heeft velen boeken geschreven en schrijft nog steeds graag over Rennes-le-Château, Maria Magdalena, de relatie tussen de man en vrouw en over orbs. Dit laatste bijzondere fenomeen gaf ook zijn inspiratie voor het schrijven van zijn laatste boek: Van Annunaki tot Illuminatie - Van Slaaf tot Slaaf   Met Jaap spraken we over zijn bijzondere tijd in Frankrijk, de magische plekken op aarde waaronder Rennes-le-Château. Jaap vertelde over het dunne vliesje tussen onze aardse dementie en andere werelden, waarbij ook de orb ter sprake kwam. We hebben zijn boek ‘van Annunaki tot Illuminatie – van slaaf tot slaaf' uitgebreid besproken waarin hij schrijft over het annunaki ras, de kleitabletten van Soemerië, ufo's, buitenaardse beschavingen, de spirit world en onze wonderlijke aarde. Jaap neemt ons mee in de ontstaansgeschiedenis van de annunaki en waarom zij hun oorspronkelijke thuisplaneet verlieten om vervolgens op aarde terecht te komen. Jaap vertelt over hoe deze wezens de macht over de aardbewoners kregen en op welke manier ze deze nog steeds uitoefenen. Over het verband tussen de annunaki en de illuminatie. Over de rol van ons als aardse bewoners in het piramide systeem. Over de manipulatie van ons DNA, waardoor we steeds meer tot slaven veranderden. Over wat de huidige machthebbende families met de annunaki te maken hebben. Want wie is de annunaki van tegenwoordig?   Het was weer een unieke locatie voor op ons lijstje. We hebben genoten van Jaap zijn verhalen en hopen dat jullie thuis dit net zo zullen doen!

Het eerste boek van Follow the Money, geschreven door Ties Joosten, heeft de ondertitel: Waarom we de KLM al een eeuw lang tegen elke prijs in de lucht houden. Het boek schildert een interessant verhaal over de geschiedenis van het bedrijf dat we allemaal kennen en waar we allemaal waarschijnlijk wel een keer mee gevlogen hebben. Is het goed om trots op dit bedrijf te zijn of juist niet? Met dit boek de geschiedenis van onze nationale trots leren kennen is op zichzelf enorm interessant. Het boek geeft ook een beeld van waarom de overheid vandaag nog steeds zoveel geld in dit bedrijf pompt. Door het boek heen zie je telkens weer ondersteuning vanuit Den Haag voor de KLM met financiële middelen, waarbij telkens weer de belofte wordt gedaan dat dit de laatste keer is. Loze beloftes, waardoor beleggen in dit bedrijf tot nu toe een financiële zekerheid is geweest, want in nood springt de belastingbetaler bij. Waarbij verschillende ministers met slimme/slinkse trucjes telkens weer de financiering goedgekeurd krijgen in de Kamer. Uiteindelijk ging ik mezelf steeds meer de vraag stellen: moeten we wel doorgaan met het ondersteunen van de koninklijke en deze industrie? Maar daar komen we later op terug. Het boek is opgedeeld in de volgende hoofdstukken: Een nieuwe Gouden EeuwDe KLM als VOCDe KLM als nieuwe kolonieThe jet ageDe grote broodjesoorlogVan vlaggenschip tot kurkHet kastenstelsel van de KLMFranse liefde Het vechtpaarThe great lockdownDe grootste crisis komt nog Hoe het begon Het boek begint met de geschiedenis van de drijvende kracht achter de Nederlandse luchtvaart in die beginjaren, Albert Plesman. Plesman is een hardwerkende zakenman die de eerste luchtvaartshow in Nederland georganiseerd krijgt en ondanks een dodelijk ongeval op de eerst dag er toch een succes van weet te maken. Een groep vooraanstaande Nederlandse industriëlen, onder wie Cor van Aalst, Frits Fentener van Vlissingen en Anton Kröller, smeden plannen voor de oprichting van een Nederlandse luchtvaartmaatschappij. De captains of industry zijn op dat moment al actief in de Koninklijke Nederlandse Vereniging voor Luchtvaart (KNVvL), die nu nog altijd bestaat. Prins Hendrik, de echtgenoot van koningin Wilhelmina, is de beschermheer van die vereniging. Niet geheel zonder eigenbelang willen deze industriëlen de luchtvaart in Nederland op gang brengen; ze zoeken een snelle verbinding met Nederlands-Indië. Allemaal hebben ze namelijk zakelijke belangen in Indië, en ze zien op dat moment de kolonie nog altijd als de hoeksteen van een Nederlands wereldrijk dat zich kan meten met dat van de Britten of Fransen.  In 1919 zegt Adriaan König, de minister van Waterstaat, een voor die tijd ongekend hoge subsidie van 75.000 gulden toe, en verklaart dat 'de regering nooit zal nalaten haar steun te verlenen aan de Nederlandse luchtvaart'. Deze uitspraak en subsidie markeert het begin van een eeuw lang de KLM ondersteunen tegen elke prijs. Liefde voor vliegen In het tweede hoofdstuk zie je de drang van Plesman om telkens weer de nieuwste vliegtuigen te kopen, waardoor oudere modellen versneld moeten worden afgeschreven. Aangezien het bedrijf geen of nauwelijks winst maakt komt het geld om deze drang van Plesman te financieren bijna altijd bij de belastingbetaler vandaan. Waarbij hij de Nederlandse vliegtuigbouwer Fokker niet ondersteunt. Een andere opvallende drijfveer van Plesman is dat hij het aantal vliegroutes wil blijven uitbreiden, ook al zijn ze niet winstgevend. Plesman lijkt bovenal een liefhebber van de luchtvaart en is minder een ondernemer of directeur en maakt zich niet druk over de winst. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog ondersteunt Plesman met de KLM de Duitsers, door het onderhoud van de Duitse vliegtuigen te verzorgen. De KLM krijgt daar ook voor betaald, net als de NS, die betaald wordt voor het transport van Joden. Dit klinkt wat vreemd, want twee van Alberts zonen vliegen bij de geallieerden tegen de Duitsers.

"WAS ASTRO WORLD A CERN RITUAL? Open Phones" 11-7-21 Astro World Sacrifices, Another Death Fokker, And RV Truth's Egomania The Astro World was mostly likely a psyop. I highly suspect that while real concertgoers were provoked into crushing against the stage, “crisis fainters” were activated during the 37 minute period during which it was declared a “mass casualty event”. Here are a few reasons I think the chaos was pre-planned, provoked, and likely exaggerated with actors (think Beatlemania on Fentanyl). Predictive programming in the advertising and on the Astro World Fest posters. This festival is known for “raging” crowds and their previous event was marred by injuries The phoenix symbolism and general stage design, including 8 jets of flame, seemed stage for a ritual sacrifice, the flames corresponding to the 8 victims. The first trending hashtag from the event was #RIPtoThe8. Kyrie Jennings was there. The world of reality television intersecting with a questionable event makes it that much more suspect. The symbolism communicated that this was a ritual sacrifice and people would be going to Hell. The chants of “I can't breathe” and “stop the show” seem like pre-planted forced memes to connect the event of too many people with the themes of climate change, overpopulation, and the danger of close proximity to too many people. UB40 founding member and vocalist Terence Wilson, who went by stage name Astro, died at 64. Metascript: 17 were taken to the hospital at AstroWorld. Drake was also in attendance. His new single, “Knife Talk”, is right at home considering the public assassination of David Amess, who was stabbed 17 times. A man in a Joker costume rampaged through a subway in Japan, stabbing 17. The Qanon killer Matthew Coleman stabbed his "reptilian" child 17 times. This number seems to reference this season's sacrifices. Another day another Flat Earther dies, publicly, presumably of toxic misinformation. I predicted this one a couple weeks ago. I'm not psychic; the psychological operations are just that obvious. The alleged passing of actor and lockdown protestor known as Flat Earth Fokker is coincidentally timed perfectly with the public outrage over the NFL's Aaron Rodgers and podcaster Tim Poole both taking medical advice from Dr. Joe Rogan. This pattern of anti vaxxers dying of misinformation goes back months but now it's getting to the most public deniers in a very public way. Interestingly, Mak was taking Ivermectin and also feeding it to his dog before he died, again making a connection to Joe Rogan's podcast. I note the timing because Rob Skiba allegedly passed of Covid at the exact same time Kyrie Irving was being harangued and taken off the NBA court for refusing to get vaccinated. Irving has previously retracted anti-mask tweets. I suspect the overarching agenda is to shut down podcasters, social media influencers, and popular celebrities who go against the mainstream media narratives. It's worth pointing out that now both Skiba and Fokker are featured on SorryAntiVaxxer.com, proving again that the cult of Scientism worships Covid and celebrates the smiting of his enemies. The MSM hasn't enjoyed a pile of bodies this much since Nick Cruz shot up a high school. With each new anti vaxxer infidel's death, I can hear the reporters in their newsrooms shouting, “Covid Akbar!” I have some follow-up on Russianvids' metastasizing ego: He recently warned his listeners to stay away from Infinite Plane Radio (btw, all live links and latest archives can be found on InfinitePlane.Media.) Self-styled witch-hunter Russianvids is reliving the Satanic Panic of the ‘80s as of late. He seems obsessed with demonizing all other channels for not being truthy enough. He admitted to deliberately trolling DIRTH, which was obvious. But why would a man who claims to be the most authoritative Bible Earther engage in trolling?
