The Boeing E-4B, known as the “Doomsday Plane,” is the airborne command center for the United States government during national emergencies meant to ensure continuity of government command after nuclear attack, major natural disasters, or terrorism. And it’s a fleet of old Boeing 747-200s that’s difficult to find parts for. //

The E-4 was developed in the early 1970s as the National Emergency Airborne Command Post. The first was delivered in 1973 (“E-4A”) and three of the planes were upgraded to higher specs (“E-4B”) in 1985. Four E-4Bs are currently in operation, maintained by the 1st Airborne Command out of Offutt Air Force Base outside of Omaha. //

Since the planes are now 50 years old, they’ve become incredibly costly to maintain. The Government Accountability Office estimates a cost of $372,496 per flight hour, and spare parts procurement is difficult as there’s no longer an active world fleet of similar aircraft.

Last April, the Air Force awarded a $13 billion contract to Sierra Nevada Corporation for developing the next-gen Doomsday Plane” called the Survivable Airborne Operations Center. These will be ex-Korean Air Boeing 747-8s. The first of these aircraft arrived at Sierra Nevada facilities late last year to start conversion. The fleet will grow to 10 “E-4C” aircraft by 2036. //

The little-known HBO’s “By dawn’s early lights”, with Powers Boothe and James Earl Jones, almost takes place entirely in a Doomsday plane during WW3. Highly recommended.

BILL MAHER: "Why do we need to subsidize? We're so polarized. These outlets became popular at a time when Republicans and Democrats didn't hate each other and weren't at each other's throats and didn't think each other was an existential threat. In that world, you can't have places like this, I think, anymore. They have to be private.". //

I hate that equivocation of Maher’s. “We all hate each other”.

It’s like the Paly’s and Israelis. If the Paly’s let down their arms, there would be peace. If the Israelis did, they would cease to exist.

If the Dems stopped being insane and terrorist sympathizers…we could have a great country. If the Republicans stopped trying to g to fight their insanity, we would cease to be a country.

Our fight matters, and it’s not because we ”hate each other”, Maher.

White House Chief of Staff @SusieWiles shows @LaraLeaTrump her West Wing office and teases turning her patio into a cigar bar if @POTUS will allow her 🤣👏🏻

The Dems blew it. They could have had a second term of Trump 1.0 crippled by covid, but they just HAD to steal the 2020 election. The result is Trump 2.0, who is absolutely running rampant over the deep state. //

It's pretty amazing that the Dems' installation of the cadaver-in-chief puppet president is proving to be the biggest political miscalculation in history. They gifted Trump 4 long years to plan, and he and his crew are kicking the donk's butt every day with a vengeance. It's a beautiful thing to watch. Major h/t to Susie Wiles for managing the speeding Trump train. The fact that you never hear much about her is a testament to her professionalism and expertise. I thought the last 4 years would never end. Now I want this 4 years to last forever. //

Wiles is good because she has old-fashioned honor, integrity, and a sense of mission. She's not operating out of ego, she's not gathering material for a tell-all memoir, she's not trying to set herself up as a future lobbyest. She just believes in what Trump is trying to do and doing her best to make it happen. And he knows that and trusts her. It's a great relief after the series of failed Chiefs of Staff during Trump 1.0.

n ZFS, storage pools, or zpools, are the fundamental units of storage management. A zpool aggregates the capacity of physical devices into a single, logical storage space. All data, including datasets, snapshots, and volumes, is stored within zpools. The management of these storage pools is essential for ensuring that ZFS operates efficiently and reliably. The following sections describe how to create and destroy zpools, manage devices within a pool, and monitor the health of a zpool.

Creating and Destroying zpools

Creating a ZFS Storage Pool

To create a zpool, use the zpool create command. The syntax for creating a pool requires specifying a pool name and the devices that will be part of the pool. Below are several examples demonstrating different configurations.

The Marxist woke religion invented a new version of original sin which, unlike Christianity, only applies to certain people and offers no possibility for salvation or redemption. If an outside government wanted to demoralize and destabilize the US, this is how they'd do it, but this is an inside job.

Marxist Methods of Demoralization

Infiltration of Education:

• The education system is targeted to indoctrinate younger generations with ideologies that challenge traditional values and national identity.
• Historical narratives are distorted, and critical thinking is replaced with ideological conformity.

Manipulation of Media:

• Media outlets are used to spread disinformation, promote divisive narratives, and undermine trust in institutions.
• Entertainment industries (e.g., Hollywood) are leveraged to normalize alternative ideologies and cultural relativism.

Undermining Cultural Institutions:

• Traditional values such as religion, family structures, and patriotism are systematically attacked.
• The family unit may be replaced by allegiance to the state, as seen in parallels with Mao's Cultural Revolution.

Promotion of Moral Relativism:

• Societal norms are inverted, celebrating victimhood and dependence while vilifying strength and independence.
• This creates confusion around truth and morality, fostering passivity among citizens.

Psychological Conditioning:

• Individuals are conditioned to accept contradictory beliefs (akin to Orwell’s "Doublethink"), making them unable to discern truth even when presented with factual evidence.

Outcome of Demoralization

Cognitive Paralysis:

• Citizens lose the ability to critically analyze information or recognize manipulation. Even when exposed to authentic facts, their perception remains distorted.
• Such individuals become "programmed" to react predictably to stimuli aligned with the subverter's goals.

Erosion of National Identity:

• The population becomes detached from its historical and cultural roots, weakening societal cohesion and pride in national values.

Generational Indoctrination:
Demoralization over an extended period of time results in widespread acceptance of the subverter’s ideology among key influencers in government, media, and academia.

Inability to Resist Subversion:

• A demoralized society becomes passive and incapable of mounting effective resistance against external or internal threats. This sets the stage for destabilization, the next phase in ideological subversion.

Reversing demoralization requires significant effort over generations, as deeply ingrained perceptions are difficult to change once established.
