"Crazy Amount Of Requests:" Private Jet Demand Soars As Elites Flee Asia Amid Pandemic

Private jet flights from Hong Kong to other regions around the world soared 34.2% in the month compared with last year.

The jump in private jet flights suggests a mass exodus of business elites and their and their families from China, Hong Kong, and surrounding areas, who are getting the hell out of a dodge as the virus outbreak worsens.

"We've seen a crazy amount of requests," Alain Leboursier, sales director at Luna Jets, a private jet broker, told the Times.

Jeffrey Lowe, managing director of Asian Sky, an Asia-Pacific business aviation company, said travel restriction fears sparked the rise in private jet demand in the last month.

"Everyone quickly refers back to Sars. A lot of people are taking a knee-jerk reaction and moving themselves out of harm's way," Lowe said.

Adam Twidell, chief executive of PrivateFly, a UK-based private jet brokerage, said there had been a tremendous surge in requests from people wanting to fly private out of Asia.

Chief Magistrate In Assange Extradition Received Financial Benefits From Shadowy Groups

The senior judge overseeing the extradition proceedings of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange received financial benefits from two partner organisations of the British Foreign Office before her appointment, it can be revealed.

It can further be revealed that Lady Emma Arbuthnot was appointed Chief Magistrate in Westminster on the advice of a Conservative government minister with whom she had attended a secretive meeting organised by one of these Foreign Office partner organisations two years before.

Lady Arbuthnot personally presided over Assange’s case as judge from late 2017 until mid-2019, delivering two controversial rulings. Although she is no longer personally hearing the Assange extradition proceedings, she remains responsible for supporting and guiding the junior judges in her jurisdiction. Lady Arbuthnot has refused to declare any conflicts of interest in the case.

The new revelations follow previous investigations by Declassified showing that Lady Arbuthnot received gifts and hospitality in relation to her husband from a military and cybersecurity company exposed by WikiLeaks. Declassified also revealed that the Arbuthnots’ son is linked to an anti-data leak company created by the UK intelligence establishment and staffed by officials recruited from US intelligence agencies behind that country’s prosecution of the WikiLeaks founder.

The beginning of gov't starting to extricate itself from the healthcare industry?

DOD Closing Dozens of Military Clinics to Retirees, Families

The Pentagon is downsizing or closing 50 medical clinics, including 12 on Air Force bases, in a move the department says will “increase the readiness of our operational and medical forces.” But the change will also force families and retirees away from some USAF facilities and into TRICARE civilian providers.

The Fiscal 2017 National Defense Authorization Act called on the Pentagon to analyze its hospital and clinic footprint, and the department screened 343 facilities inside the United States. Of those, 77 were selected for additional assessments and 50 ultimately chosen for “restructuring.”

The majority of those facilities will transition from serving all beneficiaries to only seeing Active-duty military personnel. Family members, retirees, and their families would have to seek care through the TRICARE civilian provider network.

Matt Donovan, the former acting Air Force secretary who is performing the duties of the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, outlined the changes in a Feb. 19 report to congressional leaders.

The report is a “strategic framework” for the changes, and no detailed implementation plan, timeline, projected costs, or expected savings are available yet. Local networks’ ability to take on additional patients will drive the transition time, and switching people over could take several years.

If TRICARE networks cannot provide access to quality care, “DOD will revise implementation plans,” according to a Military Health System release.

The following facilities will switch to Active-duty, occupational health-only clinics:

MacDill’s 6th MDG outpatient facility

Dyess AFB, Texas’s 7th MDG outpatient facility

Robins AFB, Ga.’s 78th MDG outpatient facility

Barksdale AFB, La.’s 2nd MDG outpatient facility

Dover AFB, Del.’s 436th MDG outpatient facility

Goodfellow AFB, Texas’s 17th MDG outpatient facility

Hanscom AFB, Mass.’s 66th Medical Squadron outpatient facility

Maxwell AFB, Ala.’s 42nd MDG outpatient facility

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.’s 87th MDG outpatient facility

Patrick AFB, Fla.’s 45th MDG outpatient facility
