It REALLY is treason.
The implications of this are staggering.
For those disenchanted by the time taken to deal with the 'bad guys'
Please consider the vast pulling together of various legal threads, agencies and proofs needed to administer a full, satisfying & complete justice.
So trust God, the plan and the righteous process; for justice REALLY is coming very soon.
Because it REALLY is treason.

“Political correctness gone mad”: Lord Admiral slams maritime museum for gender-neutral ships.
The de-gendering of ships by the Scottish maritime museum is “political correctness gone mad,” a retired senior British Royal Navy officer has said. He warned conceding to pressure groups is a “very dangerous road to go down”, RT.com reports.
Admiral Lord Alan West was responding to the Scottish Maritime Museum’s decision to introduce a “gender neutral interpretation” of ships, following a spate of vandalism targeting the words ‘she’ and ‘her’ on one of their signs.
Lord West, the former head of the Royal Navy, phoned BBC Radio 4’s Today show, to argue that boats have been referred to as ‘she’ for centuries, and scraping that tradition would be “absolutely stupid.”
“It’s stark staring bonkers and political correctness gone mad… an insult to a generation of sailors, the ships are seen almost as a mother to preserve us from the dangers of the sea and also from the violence of the enemy.”
David Mann, director of the maritime museum, in Irvine, Scotland, claims they have been forced into making the changes, saying offended vandals have targeted their “very expensive” signs for a second year in a row.
The museum will now phase in the use of new gender neutral signs, having recognized the changes in society around gender neutral interpretation, despite previously having followed the universally-adopted maritime tradition of referring to vessels as female.
Lord West, who served under Gordon Brown’s Labour government between 2007 and 2010, warned that it’s a “very dangerous road we are going down” if changes are made to age-old traditions, based on the concerns of “tiny pressure groups.”
A spokesperson for the Royal Navy has insisted the tradition should not be changed, adding: “The Royal Navy has a long tradition of referring to its ships as ‘she’ and will continue to do so.”

‘Political Islam’ wants to ‘secede’ from France – French President Macron.
Islam is political. He’s just getting the memo now? Sharia law is supremacist and supreme over man-made law governing the entire Muslims worldwide. It is the law of Allah and it is the mandate of the ummah to impose it. Everywhere. Of course they want an islamic State — in France and every other country they immigrate to. Muslims are the only immigration group that comes to a country with its own ready-made model of society it believes to be superior. And they impose it — in the schools, in the workplace, in the marketplace of ideas, and with violence. Each component critical to the end result — the islamization of the country.
‘POLITICAL ISLAM’ WANTS TO ‘SECEDE’ FROM FRANCE – MACRON
By: RT, April 25, 2019:
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed an ‘intractable’ fight against ‘political Islam,’ which he said seeks secession from the French Republic. His comments left many puzzled about his goals.
After delivering a speech addressing numerous social issues tied to France’s burgeoning protest movement, the Yellow Vests, Macron’s press conference took an odd turn when he laid into the French Muslim population.
“We are talking about people who, in the name of a religion, pursue a political project,” he said. “A political Islam that wants to secede from our Republic,” against which he asked the government to be “intractable.”
Macron also gave a ringing defense of French secularism, and called out “communitarianism.”
“We must not hide ourselves when we talk about secularism, we do not really talk about secularism, we talk about the communitarianism that has settled in certain districts of the Republic,” Macron said, referring to Muslim communities.
French citizens gave mixed reactions on social media to the president’s remarks, some posing their own questions in response.
The government has in recent months worked to strengthen the enforcement of a 1905 law mandating a separation of church and state, Macron said, threatening to shut down “more associations or cultural institutions when they do not respect the rules of the Republic.”
The move appears to make good on a statement Macron gave last year, saying he wanted to create an “Islam of France,” wherein the government would “set down markers on the entire way in which Islam is organized” in the country.

Navy Warfare Centers Harnessing Data to Expand the Advantage and Dominate the Threat.
By Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona Public Affairs
NORCO, Calif. – In data science, one of the biggest hurdles to achieving a goal is identifying and sharing pertinent data.
In 2017, Hovanes Keseyan was only the second NSWC Corona employee to earn his specialized master’s degree in data science from the University of California, Riverside. Soon after, he attended a Naval Application of Machine Learning workshop and discovered others from the Navy and academia who wanted to implement new technologies he’d learned about. Many questions arose about the data that fuels them: Where does the data reside? Who owns it? How can we access it? Do we have enough?
The search for answers quickly developed into a research and development project under Keseyan’s tutelage: Universal Hub for Big Data, a mega project to catalog, combine and share Navy research, development, test and evaluation data across the enterprise in a manner scalable across the Defense Department and other data repositories. The data hub idea caught the attention of NSWC Corona Chief Technology Officer Taylor Cole, who shepherded it through the Navy Innovative Science and Engineering funding application process. The project has rapidly gained traction across the Navy, particularly as Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Bill Moran has emphasized the need to harness data and data analytics to not only enhance the decisions made for the warfighter, but to gain a digital edge over competitors.
With funding from multiple Navy programs, Keseyan and his working group have catalogued data from 13 warfare centers across four systems commands so far: Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command. In June, Keseyan’s group aims to have a test version of the web interface, and potential users can apply to become testers and gain access. The group will seek additional data sets – 15 per command – to reach close to 200 data sets by the end of the fiscal year. The next step is integrating that data.
“There’s still a lot of work to be done,” he continued. “Here at NSWC Corona, we want to make sure this work is done properly so everyone can start playing in the new data science capability.
“Others are interested in bringing in machine learning and artificial intelligence into their processes,” Keseyan said, “and they also want to marry that with augmented reality, virtual reality and Live Virtual Constructive environments. So there’s this intersection of these new technology fields and we’re laying the foundation to have these conversations. We want to remove those barriers and let the scientists do what they’re excited to do.”
NSWC Corona’s commanding officer said he wants to champion the project because of its critical importance to advance the Navy and NAVSEA strategic goals.
“Universal Hub is a great example of how the warfare centers are leveraging a talented and empowered workforce to utilize high velocity learning to accelerate warfighting decisions across the Navy,” said Capt. Rick Braunbeck. “This project will help the Navy make every dollar count to drive lethality and improve readiness across the fleet.”
NSWC Corona, a field activity of Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command, is headquartered in Norco, Calif., and has a workforce of more than 3,300 scientists, engineers, contractors and support staff and annual business of more than $450 million each year. The command leads the Navy’s research, development, test, and evaluation process responsible for gauging the warfighting capability of Navy ships and aircraft for performance, readiness, quality, and supportability throughout the entire life cycle.

STERN TO CHAIR NASA PLANETARY PROTECTION REVIEW BOARD.
Alan Stern will chair NASA’s new review board to take a fresh look at existing planetary protection guidelines and determine if changes should be made in light of advances in planetary science over the past several decades. The NASA Advisory Council (NAC) called for such a review last year. Stern’s board will make recommendations that flow through several other bodies on their way to the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), which sets those guidelines for the international space community.
Planetary protection refers to protecting Earth and other solar system bodies from forward and back contamination as spacecraft are sent to or return from places that might harbor life.
Since the beginning of the space program, the United States has led the development of non-binding international planetary protection guidelines through COSPAR, part of the International Council on Science (ICSU). The Space Studies Board (SSB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is the U.S. member of COSPAR.
Much has been learned about solar system bodies since the guidelines were last updated and, importantly, the nature of planetary exploration is changing as more countries and private sector entities get in on the action.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine created a new Regulatory and Policy Committee (RPC) as part of NAC last year that brings a private sector perspective to the Council. One of its first recommendations was to relook at the guidelines and the burdens they impose on spacecraft design.
In December, NAC adopted a RPC recommendation that NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) form a task force to reassess the guidelines. SMD Associate Administrator (AA) Thomas Zurbuchen agreed. The result is this new Planetary Protection Review Board with Stern as its chair.
Based at the Southwest Research Institute, Stern is Principal Investigator for the New Horizons mission that flew past Pluto in 2015 and Ultima Thule at the very beginning of this year. He is a former SMD AA and also has extensive experience as a consultant to private sector entities active in space exploration including entrepreneurial companies like Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and Moon Express. In a statement, he said he was looking forward to “helping ensure that we have a set of guidelines that help enable a new era of civil, commercial, and public-private partnership exploration, while safeguarding both life on Earth and environments across the solar system.”
Zurbuchen explained last year that whatever the Review Board concludes will be forwarded to NAC and then go to the NASA Administrator. From there it will go to SSB and its sister Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB) for an independent look. Then it will be taken to COSPAR. Len Fisk, another former AA for science at NASA and a former SSB chair, is currently President of COSPAR, which should facilitate that step.
Last year, the SSB released a study requested by NASA assessing the process by which planetary protection guidelines are developed. Chaired by Joseph Alexander, the report argues that planetary protection policies and requirements should apply equally to government and private sector missions and domestic and international policy-making processes therefore need to take private sector views into account. That is basically the viewpoint of NAC’s RPC as well.
Alexander, a former NASA official and former SSB Director, told SpacePolicyOnline.com today that he is pleased the review is moving forward because “there is some urgency in getting NASA to be prepared for upcoming needs.” NASA’s FY2020 budget request includes $109 million for a Mars Sample Return mission that could be launched as early as 2026. Alexander concurs that all the steps outlined by Zurbuchen are needed to ensure agency buy-in plus an “independent, outside, expert assessment and support.” He is optimistic the process can be completed in a time frame closer to “a year” rather than “years” if the Review Board members and reviewers “are all prepared to do their part.”
He also applauded Stern’s appointment as chair. Stern not only has strong science credentials, but “more familiarity with private sector interests” than many space scientists and it is important to include that perspective.
The other members of the Review Board have not been named. NASA said they will have “experience in management, engineering, science, industry and legal matters relevant to planetary protection.” The board is expected to begin work in June, spend three months formulating recommendations, and then present an interim report to Zurbuchen.
NAC’s RPC will meet next week. SSB and ASEB are also meeting next week. Planetary protection is not specified on any of the agendas, but the topic may well arise.

China uses US-made satellites for internal security: report. Interdasting indeed.
A fleet of US-made satellites helps China's government police its people and supports its military despite growing wariness in Washington over Beijing's power, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
While the United States will not let China buy US-made satellites for national security reasons, it sells them to partly Chinese-controlled, Hong Kong-based Asia Satellite Communications, which then leases out capacity to Chinese and other customers.
Under that arrangement China's Ministry of State Security, which oversees domestic and international intelligence gathering, has used the US-built satellites for communications in emergencies, including dealing with anti-government protests by minorities in Tibet and Xinjiang in 2008-2009, the Journal reported.
And beginning in 2013, a Chinese state telecommunications firm used capacity on an AsiaSat satellite to provide mobile and internet services to China's military as they built permanent installations on contested islands and reefs in the South China Sea.
Washington does not recognize China's territorial claim to those installations, which have effectively extended China's military reach far from the mainland.
AsiaSat is jointly controlled by China's huge government-backed investment bank Citic Group and US investment bank Carlyle Group.
The three-decades-old, publicly listed company, has launched a total of nine satellites, made by US aeronautics and space firms Boeing and SSL.
AsiaSat told the Journal that China's military had used the satellite services via telecoms operators that held bandwidth for disaster relief.
Carlyle, which has strong ties to the US political and security establishment, told the Journal that AsiaSat customers are Chinese phone and internet companies, who have their own customers.
The report came amid stepped up US concern over China's efforts to obtain, legally or illegally, US technology that it cannot match itself.
China especially trails the United States in satellite technology, the Journal said.
