‘Weird Drone’ Spotted Over Space Port in California

The drone allegedly carries a registration which belongs to Toyota and its design is similar to that of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles.

The Reddit user nicknamed u/Red_Jensen has posted a photo of what he described as a “weird plane” that he said was spotted at Mojave Air and Space Port (KMHV) in California earlier this month.

Commenting on the picture, one of the users claimed that the vehicle’s tail number N971YT is registered to the Japanese carmaker Toyota.

“It's an electric aircraft which I find interesting considering their vehicles are known to favour hydrogen fuel cells as their alternative fuel choice instead of electric,” the user noted.

Another user argued that Toyota plans to “make a compact VTOL [vertical take-off and landing] plane for the masses called the 'Airolla' now, and it’s gonna be the best-selling reliable VTOL plane in the world”.

The Drive website, for its part, suggested that the “plane” is nothing but a “bizarre-look and insect-like remarkably large” VTOL drone.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is equipped with four horizontally-mounted propellers, with one push propeller installed at the UAV’S rear.

The Drive also asserted that the drone’s design is similar to that of a cargo UAV developed by the US aerospace and logistics company Elroy Air.

The website recalled that it was Elroy Air which “has created a system it calls Chaparral that uses a hybrid-electric powerplant and will hopefully be capable of delivering up to 500 pounds of cargo over distances up to 300 miles [482 kilometres]”.

The Drive also suggested that even though the UAVs’ designs are very much alike, “it seems more likely that the drone in question is a competitor's creation”.

Deep State DOJ and FBI Still Have Not Responded to GOP Senators or Filed Charges Against the Far Left Activists for Criminal Conduct During Kavanaugh Hearings

On October 8, 2019, Republican Senators Grassley, Graham, Lee, Cruz, Cornyn, Crapo, Tillis, Kennedy, and Blackburn ask the DOJ and FBI about the status of four criminal referrals made by the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the baseless claims made against Kavanaugh, The criminal referrals were made one year before their letter.

The GOP Senators asked the Barr DOJ and FBI Director Chris Wray where they were on the status of the criminal referrals against four individuals for making materially false statements and obstructing the Senate investigation into alleged misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh.

Here again are the four criminal referrals sent to the DOJ and FBI in October 2018 by Senate Republicans.

1. The first referral, dated September 29, 2018, relates to a false allegation made by an individual who told the Committee that he had direct knowledge that Judge Kavanaugh assaulted a close friend on a boat in the harbor at Newport, Rhode Island in 1985. 1 After the Committee extensively questioned Judge Kavanaugh about the allegation, the individual recanted and apologized on social media for making the false allegation.

2. The second referral, dated October 25, 2018, relates to false allegations made by Mr. Michael Avenatti and his client, Ms. Julie Swetnick.2 In a September 23, 2018, email to Committee staff, Mr. Avenatti stated that he and Ms. Swetnick were aware of evidence that during the 1980s, Judge Kavanaugh participated in the “targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.“3 Committee staff interviewed Judge Kavanaugh and ten other individuals in connection with these allegations, which were outlined in graphic detail in a sworn statement to the Committee purportedly written and signed by Ms. Swetnick.

3. The third referral, dated October 26, 2018, relates to evidence that Mr. Avenatti falsified a sworn statement to the Committee in order to provide support for Ms. Swetnick’s unfounded allegations.4 The sworn statement by an unknown declarant claimed that Judge Kavanaugh had spiked the punch at house parties with Quaaludes and/or grain alcohol in order to make “girls more likely to engage in sexual acts and less likely to say ‘No. “‘5 NBC News later reported on a series of contacts with the purported declarant, who stated that she had denied the key allegations in the declaration both before and after the statement was publicly released and that Mr. Avenatti had “twisted [her] words.”6

Federal Judge Dismisses Some Charges Against Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes

Late on Tuesday, a Federal judge dropped several charges against former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes but allowed wire fraud charges to stand. The wire fraud charges accuse Holmes and her former boy-toy, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, of misleading patients about the abilities of Theranos' blood tests.

The court ruled that since the tests were paid by customers' medical insurance companies, that the patients were not deprived of any money or property in using Theranos' blood testing services, according to Reuters. The court also found that there was "no evidence" to show that Holmes and Balwani directed doctors to make misrepresentations to their patients.

The indictment alleges that Holmes and Balwani knew that Theranos was not capable of consistently producing accurate results, yet they encouraged doctors and patients to use their tests regardless. They were both indicted in June of 2018 on 11 counts of conspiracy and wire fraud.

Recall, about two weeks ago, we noted that Holmes literally phoned in her defense in an Arizona fraud lawsuit after her civil lawyers quit due to non-payment.

Holmes still maintains a team of "high caliber" attorneys for her criminal case in San Jose federal court. But in the concurrent civil suit taking place in Phoenix, Holmes was forced to dial into an audio feed without a lawyer several weeks ago, telling the judge she wouldn't make any arguments.

The civil hearing, which ended without a decision, was to try and determine whether or not the case should advance as a class action. The judge asked Holmes at the beginning of the hearing if she wanted to make any arguments and Holmes said she was relying on the arguments made by attorneys for her co-defendants.

The lawyers representing her in Arizona quit back in September, claiming Holmes hasn't paid them. As Bloomberg noted at the time, "it’s highly unusual for a defendant of Holmes’s stature in such a suit to not be represented by an attorney, prompting some speculation on her financial situation."

Scores of corporate executives, CEOs in India caught up in ‘honey trap’ blackmail operation on gay dating app

At least 50 Indian business executives based in New Delhi were tricked into an elaborate extortion set-up, ‘honey trapped’ on LGBT dating app Grindr and then blackmailed with their own intimate, and often embarrassing, photos.

Targeting wealthy individuals in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad, a gang of extortionists sought to bilk everything from cash, laptops, and watches from the corporate bigwigs, among them CEOs. Some 150 people fell victim to the enterprise, not all of them businessmen.

“Around 50 executives of top multinational companies in Delhi-NCR have been duped and robbed,” said Gurugram police commissioner Muhammad Akil, noting that the victims, “fearing social stigma,” were not prepared to take legal action against the culprits, even refusing to make statements to police.

In most cases, after meeting with their hoax ‘dates’ in remote locales under the guise of a romantic rendezvous, the victims were then ambushed, beaten, robbed, and photographed in the nude, with the perpetrators keeping the photos in hopes of extorting additional valuables.

“It took them almost a month to get friendly with the victims and once they gained [the victims’] confidence and assured them that their identities were safe, they set up meetings,” Akil went on.

The commissioner said that law enforcement had been in touch with Grindr in hopes of learning more about the blackmail gang. While the group was caught in the act last November after an officer posed as a hapless victim, resulting in the arrest of four men, two other suspects remain at large.
