April Fool's from the USN.

Media Outlets Sunk By April Fool’s Prank of the Navy’s New “Caterpillar Drive” Stealth Submarine

In a twist that would have made novelist Tom Clancy proud, several news outlets and social media users took a deep dive into fiction this April 1st, falling for an April Fool’s prank that the U.S. Navy had discovered the “Holy Grail of naval warfare,” and the development of cutting-edge stealth submarine technology.
Naval News, a reputable source for maritime news, published a seemingly groundbreaking article claiming the U.S. Navy was outfitting its Virginia class submarines with a revolutionary magnetohydrodynamic drive, or “caterpillar drive,” that “promises to make the submarine virtually undetectable.”

“Submarines use stealth to dominate the seas, presenting an illusive yet deadly threat,” the Naval News article reads. “Now U.S. Navy submarines will take stealth to a new level. American submarines will now be fitted with magnetohydrodynamic drive.”
Unfortunately, several niche media sites that later circulated the story didn’t realize they were sharing a concept straight from fiction. Specifically, Tom Clancy’s Cold War thriller “The Hunt for the Red October,” where a stealth submarine equipped with a magnetohydrodynamic drive is a crucial plot element.
The prank showcased the fine line between fact and fiction and served as a stark reminder of the importance of critical media consumption in the digital age.

In fairness, given the nature of today’s technological progress, which frequently resembles science fiction, it’s understandable why some could be misled by Naval News’s seemingly credible announcement. Equally, the idea of magnetohydrodynamic drive is more than just the stuff of imagination.
A Magnetohydrodynamic drive (MHD) is a conceptual method of propulsion that uses only electric and magnetic fields to accelerate a liquid or gas propellant using the principles of magnetohydrodynamics.
In recent years, engineers have been exploring the potential of plasma propulsion engines using magnetohydrodynamics for space exploration. The goal is that a magnetohydrodynamic drive would offer a more continuous propulsion system than traditional chemical rockets.

Furthermore, since the 1960s, scientists and military researchers have been studying the use of magnetohydrodynamic drives for submarine propulsion. This technology leverages the magnetic properties of water to move the submarine forward, thereby eliminating the need for moving parts, such as traditional propellers.
Another kernel of truth from the Naval News article is that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently attempting to develop a workable magnetohydrodynamic drive under its “Principles of Undersea Magnetohydrodynamic Pumps” or “PUMP” program.
However, the concept remains largely theoretical, and the leap from experimentation to an operational caterpillar drive , especially in the context of creating a “stealth submarine,” is a significant one.
The idea of a completely stealth submarine, undetectable by enemy forces, has been a coveted goal for global navies and could justifiably be considered the “Holy Grail of naval warfare.”
The concept of a magnetohydrodynamic-drive stealth submarine was popularized in the 1990 film adaptation of Tom Clancey’s literary spy thriller “The Hunt for the Red October.” In the film, the Soviet Typhoon-class ballistic missile sub the “Red October” is outfitted with a “caterpillar drive,” which renders it undetectable to passive sonar.

Due to its lack of moving parts, a magnetohydrodynamic-driven submarine would theoretically significantly reduce noise levels, a key advantage in underwater stealth. However, a magnetohydrodynamic drive wouldn’t make the vessel completely silent, nor would it result in a fully stealth submarine.
The electric currents required to generate the magnetic fields for a magnetohydrodynamic-driven submarine would produce detectable gasses and noise. The magnetic fields produced by the MHD would likewise create a distinct magnetic signature that could be easily traced by modern anti-submarine warfare (ASW) technology.
Moreover, contemporary anti-submarine warfare has evolved to include a range of detection techniques beyond just listening for the sounds a submarine makes. Today, leading sub-detection methods include measuring temperature gradients in the water, variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by a sub’s large metal hull, thermal imaging, chemical sensors, and airborne LIDAR that can identify changes in water depth or disturbances.

As part of its initiative to field “Non-Traditional Airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare” technology, the U.S. Navy is suspected of possessing a highly classified system that uses synthetic aperture radar to identify the wake caused by a submarine passing through water that would otherwise be invisible to the human eye.
In short, a magnetohydrodynamic drive would not suddenly render a sub “stealth,” as The Hunt for the Red October or Navel New’s prank article implies.
Nevertheless, this didn’t stop a handful of publications from spreading the fictitious word about the Navy’s supposed leap in stealth submarine technology.
One of the outlets that aggregated the story was Marine Insight. “World’s No. 1 complete maritime information website,” the “About” page reads on Marine Insight’s website. “Since 2010, Marine Insight has been informing and educating people around the world about the maritime industry.”


Marine Insight has since removed the article about the fictitious magnetohydrodynamic drive. However, the headline “U.S. Navy Unveils World’s First Submarine Equipped With Silent Caterpillar Drive” still populates under the site in Google News.
A YouTube channel called “Military Defense News” published a nearly three-minute video of a computer voice program reading the article, complete with still images of U.S. submarines and dramatic background music.
A Ukrainian news site, GaGadget, even added details not contained in the original article. “The submarine’s appearance and characteristics are currently being kept secret, but it is known that the propulsion system is located inside the hull, which means there is no traditional propeller,” GaGadget’s Mykhailo Stoliar wrote.
The fictitious article was mainly shared by social media-only “news” sites, with varying follower counts ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of followers.
Aside from the article’s publication date, April 1st, some seemingly overlooked clues should have called to question claims of the U.S. Navy subs being outfitted with new stealth propulsion drives. Most prominently, editors posted, “Important update on this article: April Fool’s” at the beginning of the article.


Less obvious, the article notes that the Virginia-class attack submarine, the USS Montana (SSN-794), was expected to conduct sea trials with the new caterpillar drive on the Penobscot River in Maine. In Clancey’s fictional spy thriller, Soviet sub-captain Marko Ramius stealthily navigates the Red October to the Penobscot River to defect to the United States.

It’s important to note that the fictitious story caught traction primarily among smaller, niche publications rather than mainstream media. The incident underscores the critical need for media consumers to question and verify the sources of their information, particularly in an era where fly-by-night “news” outlets can easily and rapidly spread sensational claims thanks to social media.
Ultimately, Naval News’s April Fool’s joke served as a humorous reminder of the enduring allure of stealth technology in naval warfare and the importance of skepticism and due diligence in news consumption.

Normally I post the whole article but in this case no need to bother. The point isn't really about migrants or theft it's about how we get information. I love the NY Post but know full well it's a Murdoch outlet just like Fox news so like everything else I consider the sources and usually take things with a grain of salt until I have a reason to pay attention.

NY Home Depot hires guards, dogs to keep parking lot safe from thieves, aggressive migrants

I've been to this Home Depot many, many times as well as it's twin right up the road in Port Chester. The only thing that's really new is the dog, there have always been security guards that actively check purchases and receipts in those two locations. That's because there are several high theft corridors in that area - meaning there is immediate access to multiple interstate roadways. You could have gone in to those stores twenty years ago and the guards would be there and so would a large number of illegals looking for work. Business as usual.

There is a similar situation in little podunk Derby Connecticut but that store does less than half the volume of New Rochelle and Port Chester locations and HD corporate apparently tolerates the shrinkage like it does at most of its locations. They could hire guards and dogs for their stores but would rather pass the loss on to the consumer than spend the money to do anything. Their loss prevention is a mere fig leaf.

The Post has made this sound as if it's some new drastic event. Granted droves of migrants collecting in large parking lots is different now but that article specifically stated there weren't any present when the reporter visited. I don't doubt they are a problem but the article went on to talk about some things that are just anecdotal.

Election year nonsense article, it just happen to be about a location I am familiar with.

Papua New Guinea leader takes offense after Biden implies his uncle was eaten by cannibals

Papua New Guinea leader takes offense after Biden implies his uncle was eaten by cannibals​

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister James Marape accused Joe Biden of disparaging the South Pacific island nation by implying that an uncle of the U.S. president had been eaten by “cannibals” there during World War II.
Biden’s comments offended a key strategic ally as China moves to increase its influence in the region.
The president spoke at a Pennsylvania war memorial last week about his Army Air Corps aviator uncle Second Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., whom he said was shot down over Papua New Guinea, which was a theater of heavy fighting.
“They never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals for real in that part of New Guinea,” Biden said, referring to the country’s main island.
Marape said in a statement on Sunday that Biden “appeared to imply his uncle was eaten by cannibals.”
“President Biden’s remarks may have been a slip of the tongue; however, my country does not deserve to be labeled as such,” Marape said in a statement provided by his office to The Associated Press on Monday.

“World War II was not the doing of my people; however, they were needlessly dragged into a conflict that was not their doing,” Marape added.

The rift comes as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese began a visit on Monday to Papua New Guinea, Australia’s nearest neighbor. Albanese and Marape will commemorate strong defense ties between the two countries by walking part of a pivotal battle ground known as the Kokoda Track later this week.


“I’m very confident that PNG has no stronger partner than Australia and our defense and security ties have never been stronger,” Albanese told reporters before departing Australia.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday Biden was speaking to the bravery of his uncle and the many U.S. service members that put their lives on the line.

“He takes this very seriously. His uncle, who served and protected this country, lost his life serving. And that should matter,” she said.

Biden’s account that Finnegan’s plane was shot down was not supported by military records. Finnegan was a passenger on a Douglas A-20 Havoc transport plane that crashed into the ocean after both engines failed on May 14, 1944, according to a Pentagon report.

One crew member survived but no trace was found of the plane or three other people on board, including Finnegan.

Marape’s statement was released on the same day he met China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Port Moresby to discuss building closer relations.

Marape also called on the U.S. to find its war dead in Papua New Guinea’s jungles and to clean up the wreckage of war.

“The remains of WWII lie scattered all over PNG, including the plane that carried President Biden’s uncle,” Marape said.


“Perhaps, given President Biden’s comments and the strong reaction from PNG and other parts of the world, it is time for the USA to find as many remains of World War II in PNG as possible, including those of servicemen who lost their lives like Ambrose Finnegan,” he said.

“The theaters of war in PNG and Solomon Islands are many, and littered with the remains of WWII including human remains, plane wrecks, ship wrecks, tunnels and bombs. Our people daily live with the fear of being killed by detonated bombs of WWII,” Marape added.

He's mumbling about Pearl Harbor on Sunday Dec 7. D-Day in Normandy was on a Tuesday.

I read a fact check somewhere that his uncle was a non-combatant simply headed somewhere on a transport plane that went down over the open ocean. Would it be possible to nominate Marape as a candidate for our own elections coming up? No, I guess not but I like that guy a lot more than any other choices we have.

Of course Uncle Joe wouldn't lie to us outright with made up nonsense, would he? The real problem is that Bidens are known to be delicious and there are some facts that have been kept under tight control all these years that have just been made public.

His uncle jumped with a can of fava beans and a nice chianti.

If a person complains about being on a budget while buying smokes and groceries from a gas station convenience store — maybe the first thing they need to do is adjust their priorities and spending habits.
I can't speak for Australia but the amount of casual daily spending I see by people who don't make much money is stunning, not to mention what a lot of it is in Mostly fast food, junk food, nasty drinks. Put all that $$ in a jar for a year and see what it adds up to.

Earliest manuscript of Gospel about Jesus’s childhood discovered

Earliest manuscript of Gospel about Jesus’s childhood discovered​

Papyrologists decipher manuscript fragment and date it to the 4th to 5th century

For decades, a papyrus fragment with the inventory number P.Hamb.Graec. 1011 remained unnoticed at the Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky State and University Library. Now papyrologists Dr Lajos Berkes from the Institute for Christianity and Antiquity at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), and Prof Gabriel Nocchi Macedo from the University of Liège, Belgium, have identified the fragment as the earliest surviving copy of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

This is a significant discovery for the research field, as the manuscript dates back to the early days of Christianity. Until now, a codex from the 11th century was oldest known Greek version of the Gospel of Thomas, which was probably written in the 2nd century AD. The Gospel tells episodes of the childhood of Jesus and is one of the biblical apocrypha. These writings were not included in the Bible, but their stories were very popular and widespread in Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

New insights into the transmission of the text​

“The fragment is of extraordinary interest for research,” says Lajos Berkes, lecturer at the Faculty of Theology at Humboldt-Universität. “On the one hand, because we were able to date it to the 4th to 5th century, making it the earliest known copy. On the other hand, because we were able to gain new insights into the transmission of the text.”
“Our findings on this late antique Greek copy of the work confirm the current assessment that the Infancy Gospel according to Thomas was originally written in Greek,” says Gabriel Nocchi Macedo from the University of Liège.

Deciphering with the help of digital tools​

The fragment, which measures around 11 x 5 centimetres, contains a total of thirteen lines in Greek letters, around 10 letters per line, and originates from late antique Egypt. The papyrus remained unnoticed for a long time because the content was considered insignificant. “It was thought to be part of an everyday document, such as a private letter or a shopping list, because the handwriting seems so clumsy,” says Berkes. “We first noticed the word Jesus in the text. Then, by comparing it with numerous other digitised papyri, we deciphered it letter by letter and quickly realised that it could not be an everyday document.” Using other key terms such as ‘crowing’ or ‘branch’, which the papyrologists searched in other early Christian texts, they recognised that it was a copy of the Infancy Gospel according to Thomas. “From the comparison with already known manuscripts of this Gospel, we know that our text is the earliest. It follows the original text, which according to current state of research was written in the 2nd century AD.”

Content and origin of the papyrus​

The two researchers assume that the copy of the Gospel was created as a writing exercise in a school or monastery, as indicated by the clumsy handwriting with irregular lines, among other things. The few words on the fragment show that the text describes the beginning of the ‘vivification of the sparrows’, an episode from Jesus' childhood that is considered the “second miracle” in the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas: Jesus plays at the ford of a rushing stream and moulds twelve sparrows from the soft clay he finds in the mud. When his father Joseph rebukes him and asks why he is doing such things on the holy Sabbath, the five-year-old Jesus claps his hands and brings the clay figures to life.

John Oliver Planning to Give Kingston, NY Bakery New Equipment But There's a Catch

John Oliver Planning to Give Kingston, NY Bakery New Equipment But There’s a Catch​

Red Lobster has closed 80 + locations across the US with more closures on the way after filing for Chapter 11.

2 Hudson Valley locations were on the chopping block after the initial announcement. The Kingston New York (or Town of Ulster) location has been in the spotlight thanks to talk show host John Oliver.

Now it looks like Oliver is going to help out another Kingston, New York business after a little social media scuffle.

Ulster County Red Lobster Gets Recreated on Talk Show Set​

On the June 2nd episode of Last Week Tonight on HBO, John Oliver dedicated a segment to Red Lobster's bankruptcy announcement. In doing so he said anyone could run a Red Lobster, and then proceeded to purchase all the equipment from the Red Lobster on Miron Lane in Kingston, New York at auction.

The Hollywood Reporter explains that the equipment Oliver won at auction caught the eye of Eric Deising, owner of Deising's Bakery, and he was a little upset that the talk show host swooped in and took everything from the Red Lobster.

They write, "He taped a note to the front door of the Red Lobster asking if he could buy some of the equipment."

News 12 Westchester reports that there was a little back and forth between Deising and Oliver, but it had a happy ending.

John Oliver To Give Deising's Bakery New Restaurant Equipment​

According to The Hollywood Reporter, John Oliver is going to give Deising's Bakery and Restaurant brand-new restaurant equipment. The article explains that the Last Week Tonight crew dissembled the fake Red Lobster set and donated the equipment to local charities in New York City.

So it's not the original equipment Deising said to have bid on.

However, Oliver had seen Deising's comments and purchased equipment to gift them...but there's a catch.

Oliver saw all of the amazing reviews of Deising's and decided to call a truce. He said they were willing to buy the items Deising's needed on one condition "All I want in return is a baked good with my face on it on sale in your bakery, specifically a cake bear with my face on it. I wanna be a cake bear."

These are the only bears I could currently find on the Deising's Facebook page. Now I'm envisioning John Oliver's face on them and can't unsee it:


Deising's Bakery, Facebook

Deising's Bakery, Facebook

Of course, the team at Deising's accepted the challenge graciously and plans to give back to a great cause.

Pete Deising, nephew of owner Eric, told us "We didn’t see this coming and are extremely grateful. The least we could do is do something to give back to the local community by donating all proceeds of the John Oliver bear cupcakes to people’s place (while supplies last)."

We'll be sure to update the story once the John Oliver Cake Bears go live.

Today, US District Court Senior Judge Anita Brody ruled that the SS United States’ landlord, Penn Warehousing, could not double dockage fees without notice in its effort to force “America’s Flagship” from Pier 82 in Philadelphia. However, the Court also directed the irreplaceable national symbol to vacate the premises by September 12, 2024.
While the Conservancy was vindicated in not being compelled to pay a large sum of back rent to the SS United States’ pier operator, the ruling makes clear this iconic American symbol is in peril. The judge’s decision gives us a very limited window to find a new home for the SS United States and raise the resources necessary to move the ship and keep her safe. We must do both to avoid the tragic fate that countless supporters from around the world have worked for over a decade to prevent.
When the SS United States has faced imminent danger before, our supporters from across the country and around the world have always stepped up to save her from destruction. While the Conservancy is responsibly preparing for all possible scenarios, we have great faith that our global community of supporters will help us meet this latest challenge.

'Green' renewable fuel plants are releasing MORE pollution than oil refineries, report claims

(Excerpt)

Courtney Bernhardt, Director of Research for the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), the group that released the report, said: 'Despite its green image, the biofuels industry releases a surprising amount of hazardous air pollution that puts local communities at risk – and this problem is exacerbated by EPA’s lax regulation.'

The EIP is a nonprofit watchdog group focused on environmental law, and has been calling for increased federal regulation of the 'green' fuel industry.

Their report reviewed 2022 data that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released from 191 ethanol plants, 71 biodiesel plants and 13 renewable diesel plants.

Not only were the 'green' manufacturers emissions nearly on par with oil and gas, they also released more of particularly potent toxins than the petroleum manufacturers - including hexane, acetaldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde than traditional oil and gas refineries.

Formaldehyde fumes can cause cancer, and acetaldehyde is a suggested carcinogen as well. When hexane gas is inhaled, it causes dizziness, nausea and headaches, according to the EIP.

Acrolein, which is also found in cigarettes and build materials, can cause vomiting and shortness of breath and has been linked to asthma.

On top of that, the process of cultivating the raw materials and transforming them into biofuels isn't better for the environment than traditional oil and gas, the report found.

The biofuel plants in the US emitted 33 million tons of greenhouse gasses in 2022. That's equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gases coming from 27.5 oil refineries.

Even as reports of this sort are increasing, the 'green fuel' industry is booming.

This is thanks in part to increased funding from the Biden administration, which has allocated billions in funds for developing a green aviation fuel, Inside Climate News reported.

Good for them.

If this guy thinks this is the end of getting his ass kicked he's probably wrong, I expect he'll have a rough go of it when locked up. Watch - there will be cases worse than this in the near future and vigilante justice may become a problem. If the police can't or won't deal with things others will.

In this case, good for her. A woman nailed this guy and she let him know it. He doesn't seem to be concerned about being a rapist and our government wasn't too worried about letting him and allowing him to prey on our citizens. Our citizens - the ones our lawmakers have sworn to protect and aren't.

Heroic New Yorker recounts how she placed migrant wanted in girl’s rape at Queens park into headlock: ‘As a woman, I had to really set the tone’

Heroic New Yorker recounts how she placed migrant wanted in girl’s rape at Queens park into headlock: ‘As a woman, I had to really set the tone’​

One of the good Samaritans who nabbed the 25-year-old Ecuadorean migrant wanted for the brutal sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl at a Queens park recalled how she bravely placed him in a headlock during the citizen’s arrest to send the message to not “mess with the next woman.”

Angela Sauretti, 23, immediately recognized the man police named as the prime suspect in the broad-daylight attack inside Kissena Park in which a boy and girl, both 13, were held at knifepoint with a “machete-style” blade and had their hands tied with shoelaces before the girl was raped.

Sauretti turned to her friend and asked if the man in front of them at the 108th Street Grocery in Queens around 1 a.m. Tuesday, was the same man they had just seen on an NYPD wanted poster.

“I pointed him out,” Sauretti told The Daily Beast. “I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s him?’ [The friend] said, ‘Yes, that’s him.’ That’s what confirmed it. And everything just spiraled from there.”

Sauretti then grabbed the man, and as he tried to run away, she put him in a headlock, she told the outlet.

“He got something that his mother should have done to him,” she said. “I’ll put it that way.”

She added, “As a woman, I had to really set the tone and remind him, ‘It wasn’t a man that did this to you. It was a woman.’”

The man, later identified by police as Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, continued to resist, prompting Sauretti to lay into him.

The suspect, later identified by police as Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, was arrested Tuesday.

“You did that to a woman, and a woman got back and did this to you.” she recalled saying. “So it had him contemplating, ‘Maybe I won’t mess with the next woman.’ Because you never know. There’s nice ones and there’s ones that will really defend themselves and go all out.”

She said Inga-Landi protested the citizen’s arrest and wanted to try and explain himself to her.

“He said, ‘Let me explain!’ I’m like, ‘There’s nothing to explain. You’re a rapist,’” she added. “He said, ‘I don’t care.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean you don’t care? You’re a rapist.’ He said, ‘I don’t care.’”

A group of good Samaritans joined the chaotic citizen’s arrest, captured in dramatic video and photos obtained by The Post, showing Inga-Landi cowering on the sidewalk as an angry mob pounds him and calls him a “rapist.”

Among the group was 67-year-old Isabel Caizado, who kicked the man before taking off one of her shoes to beat him with and Daniel Ramos, who overheated Inga-Landi say he was going to fly to Ecuador in the morning.

As Inga-Landi wrestled with the group, his hoodie and T-shirt came off, revealing a tattoo of either a boar or a bull with red eyes on his upper chest — just as the NYPD described in its wanted poster.

“That’s what made us go even harder,” Sauretti said.

The man managed to crawl under a car, but the others kept it surrounded until cops arrived.

Sauretti spoke with police after the citizen’s arrest and later told the Daily Beast the $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s capture was not what made her decide to spring into action.

“I would have done it even if it wasn’t a reward because at the end of the day, I feel as if that’s the right thing to do,” she said.

Inga-Landi faces a slew of charges, including rape, kidnapping and sex abuse, after cops arrested him thanks to a flood of help from Sauretti and all the others who lassoed him on the street, NYPD brass said later Tuesday.
