So the 'pressure is taken "off" the FOMC fer the meeting in 19 days and the fakey jobs numbers were revised downward HEAVILY...the current rate hike odds have skewed back a little to the 25bp side but still 'at 75bp' there is still plenty of time (and fake information) to come to get that back to 25bp solidly
August Employment Report
The headline jobs number in the August employment report was above expectations, however employment for the previous two months was revised down by 107,000, combined. The participation rate increased, pushing up the unemployment rate to 3.7%. And the employment-population ratio increased slightly.
Leisure and hospitality gained 31 thousand jobs in August. At the beginning of the pandemic, in March and April of 2020, leisure and hospitality lost 8.20 million jobs, and are now down 1.12 million jobs since February 2020. So, leisure and hospitality has now added back about 85% all of the jobs lost in March and April 2020. (that is becasue the 10y rolling average model that they use say this so none of this is empirical-and the revisions down tells you that)' Construction employment increased 16 thousand and is now 84 thousand above the pre-pandemic level. Manufacturing added 22 thousand jobs and is now 67 thousand above the pre-pandemic level. In August, the year-over-year employment change was 5.84 million jobs. Since the overall participation rate has declined due to cyclical (recession) and demographic (aging population, younger people staying in school) reasons, here is the employment-population ratio for the key working age group: 25 to 54 years old.
The 25 to 54 participation rate increased in August to 82.8% from 82.4% in July, and the 25 to 54 employment population ratio increased to 80.3% from 780.0% the previous month. Both are close to the pre-pandemic levels and indicate almost all of the prime age workers have returned to the labor force.
From the BLS report: "The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons was little changed at 4.1 million in August. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full- time jobs." (this is moar fun with #s as you'll see below they simply vanish from being counted after UE benefits expire thus falling into the U-6 category) This graph shows the number of workers unemployed for 27 weeks or more.
According to the BLS, there are 1.137 million workers who have been unemployed for more than 26 weeks and still want a job, up from 1.067 million the previous month. This is back to pre-pandemic levels. (of course it is and I bet Kangzz Bostic will be revising his to many adjustments GDPNOW forecast upwards again)
Summary:
The headline monthly jobs number was above expectations; however, employment for the previous two months was revised down by 107,000, combined. The headline unemployment rate increased to 3.7% due to the increase in the participation rate.

White House to Seek $11.7 Billion in Additional Ukraine Aid
The White House will ask Congress to provide additional aid for Ukraine in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, as officials warn that earlier monies are running out with the effort to combat Russia’s invasion now past its six-month mark.
The administration is seeking $11.7 billion in security and economic assistance for Ukraine in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, a senior administration official said Friday, along with $2 billion aimed at helping to prevent domestic energy costs from going up as Russian President Vladimir Putin squeezes supplies.
The administration also detailed its other spending priorities for the coming fiscal year, including additional funding to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. The White House will request $22.4 billion for testing, to speed up the research and development of next generation vaccines, and to prepare for future variants. The request comes as the US plans a September Covid booster push with shots that are reformulated to deal with omicron variants.
Officials also are also seeking $4.5 billion to fight the monkeypox outbreak. The Ukraine-related funds are urgently needed, the official told reporters Friday in a call detailing the Office of Management and Budget’s priorities. President Joe Biden in May signed legislation in May providing $40 billion in aid to Ukraine. But those funds were only intended to last through September.
“To date, roughly three-quarters of the direct military and budgetary support that Congress previously provided for Ukraine has been disbursed or committed, with even more expected by the end of the fiscal year,” OMB said in a release.
The funding request for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 will seek $7.2 billion for the Defense Department. Of those funds, $4.5 billion will be for equipment for Ukraine and to replenish the Pentagon’s stocks, with $2.7 billion for other military, intelligence, and defense support.
The White House is seeking $4.5 billion for the State Department and USAID to continue support for Ukraine’s government.
The $2 billion energy-related request includes $1.5 billion to for uranium to fuel US nuclear reactors with the aim of offsetting any decrease in Russian energy supplies, and $500 million to modernize the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, according to the OMB.

BACN-Battlefield Airborne Communications Node
Bombardier E-11A is the military variant of the civil Bombardier BD-700 Global Express for use as overhead communications-relay platform in southwest Asia. The BD-700 was selected due to its high service ceiling, up to 51,000 ft and up to 12 hours flight duration. Initially aircraft was designated as RC-700 under the reconnaissance classification but later was re-designated as the E-11A under the special electronics installations category. The E-11A is a U.S. Air Force aircraft that provides unparalleled communications capabilities to forces on the ground and aircraft in the air. Commonly known as Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, or BACN, this aircraft extends the range of communications channels and enables better communication among units. This element is essential where the terrain may disrupt communications channels and it enables ground forces to know what is around them when something is not in their line of sight.

New York Federal Reserve Securities Lending Facility prior to the start of the return of NOT QE..but QE-$46.782B, September 2nd, 2022
Let's have a look at the Securities Lending Facility for today just prior to the "NOT QE but really QE" small value 'exercise' >>147575 lb that begins next week: the total amount for today was $46.782B accepted at full value (PAR) vs. $46.880B submitted for a total of $98m not accepted
Remember the participants are getting FULL value (PAR) for something that..in the largest amount for today of $6.885B the 10 year Note was auctioned off just on August 15th and the second largest amount of the day was the 3 year Note $4.769B and same date of issue-so what you have is a total of 26% ($11.654B) of that entire amount lent(i.e. created out of thin-air)for just one day and applied to the 3 and 10 year note(s).
The action in the 3 year is moar evident over the 5 day chart as they are actively manipulating both of them into a range to suit the narrative of any given day-it is moar obvious to see in the three year-with today being reeeeally obvious-Cap #3
Keep is mind that the total amount of the 10 year auction for that date was $35B so a grand total of 19.67% of that total issuance was "lent" to the NYFRB counter-parties for ONE trading day (it settles on Sept 6th since the markets are closed on the 5th)...MAGIC!!
The same dynamic applies to the 3 year but a lower %- $42B total and 11.23% created out of thin air and 'lent' to those counter-parties..the same process has been repeated day, after day, after day bin ever increasing total amounts and has recently stayed in teh $40-48B level after dropping below $40B while the YEN shit was going on before..it's moar recent devaluation and rebound-that it has now eclipsed >>147646 lb btw'''
Largest amount today-10 year Note 'auctioned' on August 15th 2022-$6.885B

4.5% Mortgage Rates in 2023? That’s the Latest Estimate from Fannie Mae
Mortgage rates are projected to decline next year — but that doesn’t mean prospective homebuyers should necessarily delay a purchase for the prospect of lower financing costs. The rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage will fall to an average 4.5% in 2023, according to a recent housing forecast published by Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored lender. That dynamic would offer relief to would-be homebuyers who’ve seen mortgage rates balloon this year.
The Federal Reserve started increasing its benchmark interest rate in March to tame stubbornly high inflation, which has resulted in higher borrowing costs for consumers — who may feel a sense of whiplash from 2020, when rates bottomed out near historically low levels.

from yesterday
Mortgage Rates Continue to Move Up
The market’s renewed perception of a more aggressive monetary policy stance has driven mortgage rates up to almost double what they were a year ago. The increase in mortgage rates is coming at a particularly vulnerable time for the housing market as sellers are recalibrating their pricing due to lower purchase demand, likely resulting in continued price growth deceleration.

This is where NACA which became NASA started at
Some anecdotal stuffs-fren werked at Johnson Controls who managed that all and werked as a contractor on base when it was called Onizuka AFB-even though it was NASA Ames they still had all the signage for that and they took me and the mrs up on top on the hangar-it was in total disrepair all the wood rotting and pretty effing dangerous just to get up there and at the top were all these empty liquor bottles and used condoms so it was basically a 'secret' party site-the they decided it was toxic about 5 -6 years later..like it wasn't then? kek and then closed it all off.
Also huge Wind tunnel (and the first one used by NACA there Cap#3
Got to see alot of other 'stuff' I ain't putting in here d'oh-not nice I can assure you as well as see and hear one of the last U-2s take off and many other ACs of the era-got to tour the inside of an Antonov An-225 cargo plane (the biggun-when it was picking up stuff for the ISS too) plus some other shit-they said they stopped doing animal research dhere in the 90s but dhere were used bags of monkey chow or whatever it was in the garbage(s) behind the wind tunnel in cap #3 so..lying. Lotsa things seen and done there that will remain with me forever-mostly positive and especially this: lucky to have had the op. to see and talk to many WW2/Korean vets too in the old Bar-ferget what they called it-not a military person.
They also based and the SOFIA 747 Science Center-(all the data) but ran the flights out of Palmdale but that din't start until after I was long gone but got to see all the plans and non-classified stuff when they were in the process of putting that program together....it's basically a DEW imo and doubled as a 'resurch' platform

Pilot of stolen plane has been detained by authoritiesThe pilot flying a small plane over Tupelo, Mississippi has landed after threatening to crash into a Walmart Saturday, authorities said.
The Benton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the plane, flown by a man later identified as Cory Patterson, had landed in a field in Ashland, roughly 60 miles northeast of Tupelo.
Details on the plane's landing remain unclear. "The plane over North MS is down," Gov. Tate Reeves said on Twitter. "Thankful the situation has been resolved and that no one was injured.

Fuel leak delays NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission launch
The next launch attempt of Artemis 1 could occur as soon as Monday (Sept. 5). NASA called off the second attempt to launch an ambitious test flight of its new moon rocket on Saturday (Sept. 3), this time because of a stubborn leak that delayed fueling.
The space agency hoped to launch its Artemis 1 moon mission atop a towering Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket at 2:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT) on Saturday, but a hydrogen fuel leak detected about seven hours before liftoff thwarted the attempt. "We have a scrub for the day, a cutoff, of the launch attempt for Artemis 1," NASA commentator Derrol Nail said at 11:18 a.m. EDT (1518 GMT) during a live broadcast. NASA engineers repeatedly tried to staunch the fuel leak during the Artemis 1 countdown. First, they tried to warm the tank connector and chill it with cold fuel to stem the leak. Next, engineers tried to repressurize it with helium, and then returned to the warm-and-chill method to stop the leak. All three attempts failed. The delay, the second this week for NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission, means the agency will have to wait until Monday (Sept. 5) at the earliest to make its next launch attempt. And that's if the source of the leak can be fixed in time. NASA has a 90-minute window to launch Artemis 1 on Monday, with liftoff occurring at 5:12 p.m. EDT (2212 GMT).

See below on VW/Porsche and the biggest short squeeze ever (mkt Cap wise)-wut I noes is that Porsche is trying ta get into F1 and so is Audi (both owned by VW) but Audi is building own engine and buying another team (Sauber who is "Alfa Romeo" but really not-just using a re-badged Ferrari engine) and Porsche has said it's gonna buy half of Red Bull and take over all that-so this is the fundage for that program*
VW to Discuss Porsche IPO at Monday Meeting
Volkswagen AG’s leadership will discuss the planned public listing of its Porsche brand when it convenes on Monday, the company said Saturday. The company has carried out a feasibility study for an initial public offering and its management board and supervisory board will discuss in various Monday meetings if the IPO “at the end of September/beginning of October 2022 should be pursued,” the statement said. The governance bodies will also decide whether to approve the sale of 25% and one share of the ordinary shares to Porsche Automobil Holding, the main investment vehicle of the Porsche and Piech billionaire owner family.
The German carmaker has been working for months on the plan to list a minority stake in its sportscar brand this year in what could be one of Europe’s biggest initial public offerings ever. However, difficult market conditions have brought a standstill to listings generally.
Porsche has lined up investor interest for its IPO at a valuation of as much as $85 billion, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News on Aug. 26. The maker of the 911 sportscar and the electric Taycan has secured pre-orders that exceed the shares on offer at a valuation between 60 billion and 85 billion euros ($85 billion), said the people, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private.
Big-name investors including T Rowe Price Group Inc. and Qatar Investment Authority have already indicated interest in subscribing to the IPO in that valuation range, the people said. Porsche has also been gauging interest from billionaires including the founder of energy drink maker Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz, as well as LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault, according to the people.

and dis was largely becasue the markets din't really appreciate how hard it was going to be to get shares to cover any short positions en masse since VW was a large component (and still is) of the DAX the shares to cover those shorts were going to be hard to pry out of the markets because all the institutional holders were required to hold them due to it's weighting in the DAX-Porsche just took advantage of that (knew it totally and the short bus really din't) and make B-A-N-K)

*why they don't just re-badge the coming Audi engine is a "why are you spending all this money in competition with another company that you share owners with is just another German hubris moment-remember they (German Gov't) laughed at 45 at the UN when he told them they would be reliant on Russian Gas if they din't "immediately change course"...just another example of wasted money from 'Otto' and I'd run FAR away from this IPO as it's just a HUGE off-load of current and future debt liability to fund a sporting foray-and in the past Porsche was never big enough and lacked the capability to write off a racing program as an advertising thing (accounting wise) but that all changed after the early 2000s and then really changed in 2008 see above

Here they come on the the run wif some money on a bun....wut could go wrong here! with consumer credit at record high levels and expansion
Citigroup Joins Industry Effort to Lend to People Without Credit Scores
Citigroup Inc. is joining a government-sponsored effort to expand access to credit in underserved communities.
The bank is launching two pilot programs early next year under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s Project REACh, or Roundtable for Economic Access and Change. One program will issue credit cards to people without credit scores, while the other will make it easier for small businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans to get credit.
Banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and U.S. Bancorp are already working with Project REACh, sharing bank-account data to help approve a wider swath of borrowers for credit cards. Some 50 million Americans lack traditional credit scores, which banks typically require when reviewing applications for all manner of consumer debt.
Citigroup is adding its account data to the mix. Researchers have found that information on an applicant’s income and spending habits are as good a measure of creditworthiness as credit scores, bankers said. “We’ve been looking for how can we lower barriers for entrance into financial services,” said Gonzalo Luchetti, the head of Citigroup’s U.S. consumer-banking operations.(translated- we need the depositor base of the unbanked segment of society-DESPERATELY so we're gonna tart it all up and call it outreach or some shit like that because we actually went broke for the 3rd time in 2008)Project REACh is part of a broader push in the banking industry to find ways to lend to a broader set of customers. Bank of America Corp. earlier this week said it was launching a pilot program in some cities to lend to minority home buyers with no down payments or minimum credit scores.
The efforts are still in the early stages. They’re also taking shape during a period marked by unusually low consumer-loan defaults, the result of pandemic stimulus that padded Americans’ bank accounts.
Still, bankers say loans issued through Project REACh, though small in number, are performing as well as those issued outside the program. They expect the volume to increase in the coming year.
“We’ve done a lot of push-ups to advance this effort,” said Mark Brucker, the chief risk officer in JPMorgan’s consumer bank. “You’re seeing other banks see the benefit of those push-ups and want to get involved.”
Citigroup is also launching a pilot program in 20 branches in Los Angeles to funnel more loans to small businesses owned by women, minorities and veterans.To do so, the bank will lower its threshold for acceptable credit scores and tinker with other underwriting standards.

Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Identified as Man Who Plunged to Death
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. Chief Financial Officer Gustavo Arnal fell to his death from a skyscraper in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood on Friday.
The Union, New Jersey-based company confirmed it was Arnal who died in a statement Sunday. Earlier on Sunday, the New York Police Department named the person as 52-year-old Arnal, resident of 56 Leonard Street -- also known as the Jenga Building (lived on the 18th floor). “I wish to extend our sincerest condolences to Gustavo’s family. Gustavo will be remembered by all he worked with for his leadership, talent and stewardship of our Company,” Harriet Edelman, Independent Chair of the Bed Bath & Beyond’s Board of Directors, said in the statement. “Our focus is on supporting his family and his team and our thoughts are with them during this sad and difficult time.” Arnal was among the Bed Bath & Beyond executives who provided details on Wednesday of the company’s turnaround plan, which including cutting 20% of jobs across its corporate and supply-chain operations and closing about 150 lower-producing stores. The plan also envisioned new financing and the sale of as many as 12 million shares. Arnal joined the retailer in May 2020 as it navigated the coronavirus pandemic. He was previously with Avon Products Inc., Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. The New York Post first reported Arnal’s death.
In a regulatory filing last month, Bed Bath & Beyond said Arnal sold more than 55,000 shares in multiple transactions on Aug. 16-17 as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan entered into in April 2022. Such trading plans are typically adopted by executives to sell stock on a regular basis. The sales garnered $1.4 million, according to Bloomberg calculations, and Arnal still had almost 255,400 shares remaining.

Insiders Are Dumping Stocks At The Fastest Pace In Months (fear pron) but the outflow data is worth noting along with $813m-in one month leaving financial cancer Cathie Woods' Fund
Having aggressively bought the f**king dip off the March 2020 lows, supported a tsunami of free money spewing forth from every government orifice, it appears that 'insiders' have little interest in catching the falling knife now that The Fed has turned its back. As Bloomberg reports, corporate insiders dumped their own shares aggressively in August, with some 2,150 executives hitting the sell button, the most since November 2021 on a net basis. That’s pushed the ratio of insider selling to buying to the highest since February, data compiled by the Washington Service show. The surge in insider-selling matches the slumping sentiment toward third-quarter operating margins, with expectations falling to 16.08% from 16.87% over the past eight weeks, data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence show. (plus the are convinced that Jerry and the bois are gonna raise rates 75bp in three weeks...boy are YOU gonna be surprised..kek!) Finally, we note that it wasn't just 'insiders', global equity funds had outflows of $9.4 billion in the week to Aug. 31, the fourth-largest redemptions this year, according to EPFR Global data cited by BofA. US equities had the biggest exodus in 10 weeks, while $4.2 billion left global bond funds.

No...it's not 'unique' or 'original' in any way, shape or form anyone can do it AND moar importantly buy these equties outside of yer stoopid funds with mgmt and load fees associated with them-so you are just a remora like so many others in the Fin arena.'''Tell us all how losing 75% since Feb. 2021 was accomplished as that is about the only thing that qualifies as "unique".

Austria grants credit line to Vienna utility squeezed by power price-and surged because they were short
Austria's government on Wednesday granted a 2 billion euro ($2 billion) credit line to the City of Vienna for the power firm it owns, Wien Energie, after the company asked for help covering its futures margins because of surging market prices. A leap in prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine has increased the amount companies must hold in their accounts to keep trading power futures. As it does not produce all the electricity it needs, Wien Energie relies on trading the market to help supply its roughly two million customers in and around Vienna. The city's finance chief said on Tuesday there was no immediate need to use the credit line since futures prices have eased following a peak above 1,000 euros on European power markets on Monday. On Wednesday, German wholesale contracts for delivery in 2023 were trading around 645 euros per megawatt hour, still far above levels of between 100 and 150 euros in January.
The liquidity shortage (translated: all our available cash went into covering our massive short positions which was partially responsible for driving up the price to start with), which became public at the weekend (last), has become a political battleground. The Social Democrats have led the city government for decades, earning the capital the nickname "Red Vienna". They have a clear lead in national polls while the conservative-led national government is increasingly unpopular. The conservatives have suggested Wien Energie engaged in speculation on futures markets, which it denies. The contract for the credit line states the source of the liquidity problems must quickly be identified since they "cannot at first sight be explained by market problems alone," Wolfgang Peschorn, the federal government's top lawyer, told the news conference. (no shit sherlock-you should have a look at it's proprietary book to see how large a short they had and then what deriviative exposure they created out of thin air to mask it until they couldn't any longer-but you won't)
From the day before they got this LOC mentioned above
Vienna power firm denies speculating in futures as it seeks state loan
Vienna's main power company, which has asked the federal government for billions of euros in credit to cover margin costs so it can keep trading on the European power-futures market, denied on Tuesday that it had made speculative trades. Wien Energie, which provides much of the Austrian capital's electricity and gas, appealed for help this weekend after the European power market hit record highs, driving up the so-called margin deposits the company must keep on hand to trade. The City of Vienna, which owns Wien Energie through parent company Wiener Stadtwerke, points to assistance schemes for companies in such situations in neighbouring countries such as Germany, arguing Austria should have such a scheme of its own. "The interesting thing is that, since the German issue keeps coming up, Wien Energie would probably not have been able to avail itself of this German umbrella scheme because speculation is not allowed at all," Finance Minister Magnus Brunner, a conservative, told reporters on Tuesday. Funding talks are taking place in a context of political rivalry between the conservative-led national government and the Social Democrat-led government of the City of Vienna. Wiener Stadtwerke and the city government rejected Brunner's accusation. "There is no speculation at Wien Energie," Wiener Stadtwerke's deputy chief Peter Weinelt told a news conference. European power futures fell on Tuesday to 651 euros ($652) from all-time highs above 1,000 euros on Monday, after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the European Union was working on emergency intervention in the market. In January prices stood at 100 to 150 euros. Vienna's finance chief Peter Hanke told the news conference the city was currently in talks with the federal treasury on a credit line of two billion euros although given Tuesday's price fall it was not needed yet.

U.S B-52 bombers recently flew low over Stockholm's parliament and palace. The U.S planes were escorted by Gripen fighters as they overflew the Swedish capital. The B-52 Stratofortress is the most combat-capable bomber in United States' inventory. Bomber capable of employing both nuclear & conventional precision standoff weapons.

British pound sinks to lowest level against the dollar since 1985
The British pound slid to its lowest level against the U.S. dollar since 1985, a reflection of the U.K. economy’s dire economic situation. Investors are braced for sterling to weaken even further to a nadir not seen in more than two centuries of trading across the Atlantic. The pound GBPUSD, -0.26% fell 0.3% in early Monday trading in Asia to $1.1475, (aktually it is $1.1466 according to Mktfag). That is the lowest since 1985. Sterling’s descent is in part a side effect of the relentless U.S. dollar rally, which has driven both the euro and Japanese yen to multi-decade lows in recent days.
But the problems are also homegrown. The U.K. faces an energy crunch that threatens to leave many households unable to pay their bills this winter. Uncertainty over both the economic policies the U.K.’s next prime minister will enact and the Bank of England’s ability to control sky-high inflation are compounding the pound’s weakness.

American B-52 Bombers Are Dropping Cargo, Not Bombs
he B-52 Stratofortress—the United States’ oldest active service airplane—is practicing for a new kind of mission. Instead of bombs, the enormous strategic bomber will be dropping military cargo.
The exercise, part of what the U.S. Air Force calls Agile Combat Employment, is a decentralized system of delivering cargo to various locations throughout a combat theater. In a statement, Barksdale Air Force Base, the location of the recent B-52 exercise, explained that “ACE exercises practice distributed operations from dispersed locations to increase survivability while generating combat power.” It added that “this defensive posture increases the scope and scale of friendly force locations, boosts deterrence to adversary aggression and assures allies by presenting a credible combat force.” This decentralized basing and resupply concept has taken on new importance in recent months. The ongoing war in Ukraine—which recently reached the six-month mark—has shown the dangers of highly centralized logistics and resupply.
American-supplied HIMARS, an acronym for High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, has been employed by Ukrainian forces to devastating effect against ammunition dumps deep behind Russian lines. The effect has been nearly immediate as Russia has struggled to move ammunition to its artillery forces thanks to the Ukrainian strikes. “As we modernize our bomber force and bridge to the future, how we tailor and project our bombers will ultimately help assure our allies and partners and deter U.S. adversaries,” Maj. Gen. Andrew J. Gebara, Eighth Air Force and Joint-Global Strike Operations Center commander, said in the U.S. Air Force statement. The statement also explained that the “B-52 On-Board Cargo System, or BOCS, is a cargo container that connects to the operational bomb bays inside the aircraft.” It added that “the cargo system is capable of holding up to 5,000 pounds of maintenance and support equipment. Each deploying B-52 can carry two BOCSs for an airlift capability of 10,000 pounds total and can decrease, or even possibly eliminate, the need for en-route cargo support.” Barksdale explained that “unlike some large-scale Bomber Task Force missions, bomber ACE operations would not alert locals and adversaries to upcoming missions. The use of BOCSs on ACE missions decreases the large footprint and avoids exposing mission preparation activities.”
“Thanks to their efforts, we have proven the ability to put significant firepower on target without the large footprint we are used to seeing and the adversary is used to seeing well in advance of our operational movement,” Major General Andrew Gebara explained.

Chinese-owned company Landbridge rejects 'myths and mistruths' about Darwin Port lease
The company that holds the 99-year lease of Darwin Port says it has been the subject of unwarranted concerns and has hit back at "mistruths", insisting the Chinese government has no influence over its operations. The port — which is considered the most strategic maritime asset in northern Australia — was controversially leased to Chinese-owned company, Landbridge, in 2015.
Amid ongoing tensions between Australia and China, the federal government is reviewing the $506 million deal, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last week reiterating some of his concerns. "People would be aware that it was leased out to a company connected very directly with the government of the People's Republic of China," Mr Albanese said. Landbridge is owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng, who paid $506 million for the lease. But in an interview with the ABC, Landbridge said that just because the company is owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng, that does not mean it is subject to Chinese government control.
