DOD Flirting With Aviation Disaster: 2nd Near-Collision With USAF Tanker Off Venezuela
Just one day after almost killing everyone aboard a passenger jet, the US Air Force narrowly dodged another near-disaster off the coast of Venezuela -- this time with a business jet. For many, the two frightening incidents intensify a perception that the administration's militarism against Venezuela is as reckless as it is unwarranted and unconstitutional.
Within a day of each other, two midair disasters nearly unfolded off Venezuela involving USAF refueling tankers, like this KC-45 Pegasus (USAF Photo)
For those who missed our reporting on the first near-disaster, on Saturday, a JetBlue Airbus A320 heading to New York's JFK Airport from the Caribbean island of Curaçao was forced to take evasive action when the pilots suddenly found themselves staring down an approaching USAF refueling tanker at the same altitude and only two or three miles away.

"It's Outrageous": US Military Plane Nearly Collides With JetBlue Flight Off Venezuela
A US military aircraft narrowly avoided a collision with a JetBlue passenger jet in skies near Venezuela after crossing into the commercial plane's flight path without activating its transponder, according to air traffic control audio reviewed by The NY Times and others.
The JetBlue flight had departed from Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island roughly 40 miles off Venezuela's coast, and was heading to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport when the near-miss incident occurred Friday. That it was headed for JFK from what's a popular seasonal tourist destination suggests that most of the passengers were Americans on board.
"We almost had a midair collision," the JetBlue pilot said in the recording. "They flew directly through our flight path … and they don't have their transponder on. It's outrageous."

iRobot Crashes After Filing For Bankruptcy, Chinese Owner Emerges (ZeroHedge)

iRobot Crashes After Filing For Bankruptcy, Chinese Owner Emerges
Some of us may be old enough to remember when iRobot released its first robot vacuum, the Roomba, in 2002. Nearly 25 years later, the company has ceased to exist, collapsing into bankruptcy, with its remaining assets and intellectual property set to be acquired by a Chinese competitor.
How did iRobot implode, only for a Chinese company to end up cleaning American homes?
It began when European Union competition regulators blocked Amazon's proposed takeover of iRobot, cutting off what some Wall Street analysts saw as the company's last realistic path to survival. It is also worth noting that the Biden administration's FTC Chair, Lina Khan, was aligned with the EU's position.
A prior Lina Khan special?
Encouraging the DOJ to block JetBlue from buying Spirit.
Spirit has subsequently filed for bankruptcy TWICE in the just over two years since then. https://t.co/HHLmRK7acX
