Re: Understanding the US - Again
This Epstein character is a deep state operative. Supposedly Mossad. But we will never know. I am not sure whether people will believe any list at this point. The only person who can shed light is G Maxwell. I am sure she had been wrung dry by Biden admin as well as 6 months of Trump. The interroga...

Looks like Trump is going to put 500% tariff on anyone that buys oil from Russia. ... Only 100% if Putin doesn't reach an agreement in next 50 days. 500% requires assent of the COTUS.

Apparently, there are reasons that engines get turned off to save fuel. Airline pilots, what fuel saving measures does your airline implement? That is not an emergency situation.

So in 10 seconds they toggled back. Those 10 seconds duration was the critical period. Is it possible that there is race condition either in the software or the controller electronics that led to cycling and the auto start to happen? Going by the above, with high probability this is not a pilot error.
