2 pointsThank you. There is a lot of magical thinking around this aspect. First of all, if he did not survive the freefall (i.e., if his chute did not open), the result is not like in the movies. There's not some intact body just lying there waiting to be found. If you remember when David Letterman used to drop things off a 5-story building, you have a pretty good idea what happens to objects in motion on impact with immovable forces. Cooper fell from far more than 5 stories. Bodies are not tougher than ground. That's all I'll say about that part. Second of all, it's the woods. Go into the woods right now, and toss a shoe somewhere. Then go back in a month and try to find it. Then go back in a year. Then go back in five years. Would you even need to continue the experiment to know what you'd find in FIFTY years?

2 pointsTô me, the possibility of change is a positive attribute. Like every other human, I’m more in favor of some changes than others, but “set in one’s ways” isn’t a recommendation to me Wendy P.

2 pointsAbsolute lie, you oppose anything which you think is renewable. Example: our discussion about the Tesla grid-scale battery in Australia. You were against it because you thought it was renewable, but 1) it wasn't actually renewable (it backed up a coal plant) 2) it wasn't subsidised 3) it was extremely profitable Wind and solar are extremely profitable - lowest cost according to the IEA - but you wouldn't back them because of what they are, and you have a LONG track record of lying. Edit: you're just going to say "if they were competitive, why don't they stop the subsidies then?" Forgetting that that question has been answered several times, because you're a boring troll.

1 pointWell for some things its best to be set in your ways. Integrity, standing up to bullies and the rights of the vulnerable. When others waiver in the face of proper and righteous decisions. You must stand firm. To your point, positive change is good. Open to new ideas that present positive solutions, also good.

1 pointIt is based on flawed logic,, that the TBAR money could only arrive there from Cooper landing outside the FBI LZ.. and the FBI made an error searching the wrong area. Why, because the FBI didn't find anything in their search area. That includes moving the flight path West or East or moving the jump zone South. They beleive that reverse engineering TBAR will produce a place to search the FBI missed and potentially find evidence. To do this one must ignore or distort the actual evidence.. It is a hail mary pass.. There are many ways the money could have arrived at TBAR while maintaining the FBI LZ and flight path. Cooper evidence may have been found in the FBI LZ but never turned in or recognized. It is extremely unlikely TBAR will be solved beyond some good theories. BTW,, If I was going to do a new search my #1 spot would be along the South Fork Lewis River from the Heisson bridge Eastward.. it is right in the LZ sweet-spot and there was a parachute found there that was rejected based on Cossey's flawed description.

1 pointBecause R99 and Ulis want to go there and dig the whole county up .... and claim the land as abandoned since Soderlin was MIA. ?

1 pointThe city across the river from Portland is: Vancouver. Two FBI agents there at the time. The Ingram find was technically in their jurisdiction. They had not yet reached Portland proper but were definitely in the suburbs or immediate vicinity thereof" (First Officer, 1971.) In other words, Rataczak didnt know what was Vancouver vs Portland! The suburbs of Vancouver are: the northern climes of Vancouver. Vancouver is not the suburbs of Portland or Mexico City either. And Earth is the third planet from the Sun! There is Rataczak Company speak vs language for the rest of the US population? ! Rataczak was weird! Rataczak was playing a role! Rataczak was busy being busy ? Rataczak barely knew where he was except in general terms somewhere north maybe of Portland maybe ! Which is north of Mexico City on the third planet from the Sun. Soderlin was "missing in action" according to R99. MIA Soderlin got the whole flight path wrong according R99. Which is north of Mexico City on the third planet from the Sun.

1 pointI believe it's based on the last paragraph which cites the location of the plane at time 2018 PST being 23 Nautical Miles south of the PDX/BG VORTAC. Then he traces back the plane speed of ~3 miles per minute ( 3 Miles x 5 minutes) and that puts the plane approximately over the Colombia. The position of the plane at 2018 is based on McClleland's log entry on the night of the hijacking. Some of the other NWA personnel had a different time stamp of 2022 PST. So that's a 4 minute difference which would be a ~12 mile location swing. So Edward's is going with the 2018 PST time stamp and location. The question is which log entry is correct. This isn't new, it's in his book also. What's kind of new now is that the NWA personnel taking the logs/notes have been identified and he is wrapping some of the communication and it's timing into it. : At 2018 PST +/- 30 seconds, Flight 305 passes the position 23 nautical miles south of PDX (the Battle Ground VORTAC) on the Victor 23 airway. It is now south of Lake Oswego and approximately abeam Tualatin, Oregon. Backtracking from this point at three nautical miles per minute: Flight 305 begins its crossing of the Columbia at approximately 2013 PST.

1 pointGlad that I am a stand up guy in your book. But please know that I have some real stand up guys, and girls, that are both pitchers and catchers (and both) who are my delightful friends. Hence my offense when the discrimination card gets played.

1 pointIndeed, the deal was originally for Griner and Whelan. After initially agreeing, Russia backtracked and refused to release Whelan as well. Whelan's brother said that he was glad Biden "made the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn’t going to happen."

1 point#1 - Putin can say anything he likes. Doesn't make it true. I was under the impression that the US had a "no first use" policy for WMD. I could certainly be wrong on that, but that was what I always thought. Of course, all the Putin sympathizers on here will jump on it, claiming that Putin would 'just be defending himself' if he was foolish enough to use nukes. The way the 'Ukraine is building a dirty bomb and is going to use it on their own territory' bullshit went away after Putin was told how big of a mistake that would be leads me to no worry a whole lot about it Not zero, but not a whole lot. #2 - That sort of 'doctrine/policy' isn't something that changes a lot. Russia has had a LOT of sources in the US government over the years. If this is the policy (and that's a pretty big 'if'), then Russia may well have known it for years. Decades even. Not that Trump wouldn't have told Putin anything and everything he wanted to know, but I don't think Putin would have needed that info from him.

1 pointNot doubt you put the same effort into solidifying that belief with facts as you have what else you believe. Have you received one of your coded messages confirming that he wasn't spying, even a little bit? After all, if he is just a nobody businessman caught up in worldwide injustice why wouldn't he have been freed in a swap by Trump long before Griner's stupidity cost the US a big bargaining chip?
