[00:00:00] The United States Air Force uses Cairo
[00:00:03] as their cover location for all
[00:00:04] sensitive ops.
[00:00:06] >> The United States Air Force does.
[00:00:12] >> Yo, do we have any United States Air
[00:00:14] Force in the chat? I got to hit up Nate
[00:00:17] and ask him if he knows any Air Force
[00:00:18] bros.
[00:00:19] >> Conspiracy theories are entering a
[00:00:21] danger.
[00:00:22] >> Information is the oxygen of the
[00:00:24] democracy. There's so much evidence out
[00:00:26] there that even if less than 1% is true,
[00:00:30] that will be enough to collapse the
[00:00:32] current paradigm and change the whole
[00:00:35] planet.
[00:00:39] >> Oh. Oh. Oh, whoa. You're not going to
[00:00:41] want to miss this. I hope Ian's in the
[00:00:43] chat.
[00:00:43] >> Oh, let's go. Let's go.
[00:00:45] >> Um,
[00:00:47] I got an email
[00:00:50] and I have agreed to keep this person
[00:00:52] confidential.
[00:00:54] I got an email about these Egyptian
[00:00:56] planes.
[00:00:56] >> Oh,
[00:00:57] >> I was watching a live stream.
[00:01:00] >> Um, oh, I see someone said he's there.
[00:01:04] Good. You're going to want to see this,
[00:01:05] Ian. I was watching one of Ian's live
[00:01:07] streams.
[00:01:07] >> It's a party.
[00:01:08] >> And he's covering these Egyptian planes
[00:01:09] and he realizes,
[00:01:11] >> hey, the times don't match up.
[00:01:12] >> Yep. like they say they're flying to
[00:01:14] Cairo and then they turn the the uh
[00:01:17] transponders off or they lose they lose
[00:01:20] um they lose contact for some reason and
[00:01:23] then the the the times are all off.
[00:01:26] You're going to love this.
[00:01:29] So there's a little intro
[00:01:32] when we fly in and out of Israel.
[00:01:36] What Israel you say? Why? I thought we
[00:01:37] were talking about Cairo. This is this
[00:01:40] is a part of a back and forth email.
[00:01:43] when we fly out in and out of Israel.
[00:01:45] >> Before we go on, I'm just going to say
[00:01:48] that I have heard some leaks. I have
[00:01:52] heard some rumors. I have heard some
[00:01:54] theories from
[00:01:56] various sources
[00:01:59] about what I think we're about to get
[00:02:00] into.
[00:02:05] The United States Air Force uses Cairo
[00:02:07] as their cover location for all
[00:02:09] sensitive ops. The United States Air
[00:02:12] Force does.
[00:02:17] Yo, do we have any United States Air
[00:02:19] Force in the chat? I got to hit up Nate
[00:02:22] and ask him if he knows any Air Force
[00:02:23] bros. Even regionally, like out of
[00:02:26] Qatar. So, they file the flight plan to
[00:02:29] Cairo, turn off transponders, and then
[00:02:32] actually fly in and out of Nevatim Air
[00:02:34] Force Base. Nev A tim Nevatim Air Force
[00:02:39] Base that is in Israel.
[00:02:42] If they turn off the ADSB then fly to
[00:02:44] Nevatim then fly on to Cairo and turn
[00:02:47] the transponder back on in Egyptian
[00:02:49] airspace. Flight tracking software will
[00:02:51] fill in the gaps without registering the
[00:02:53] Israel stop and it will look like they
[00:02:56] are just on a direct flight to Cairo.
[00:02:59] For almost every sensitive cargo
[00:03:01] mission, the USAF uses Nevitim Air Force
[00:03:04] Base, which is always a blackout on
[00:03:06] comms. I'll read that sentence again.
[00:03:08] For almost every sensitive cargo
[00:03:12] mission, the USAF uses Neatim Air Force
[00:03:16] Base, which is always a blackout on
[00:03:19] comps.
[00:03:21] Flying blind in and out, no tracking, so
[00:03:24] they are often flying VFR and daylight
[00:03:26] hours missions. Ian, what time are these
[00:03:28] planes supposedly landing that are
[00:03:30] having the
[00:03:32] trouble with the
[00:03:36] timing? You had flights that you having
[00:03:38] trouble reconciling the timing. Were
[00:03:40] those day flights or night flights?
[00:03:44] >> We're going to watch everything he says
[00:03:45] we'll go back and go at Cairo if they
[00:03:47] think they're being monitored. Usually,
[00:03:50] it's a surprise to the Cairo air traffic
[00:03:52] control these deviations and goarounds.
[00:03:56] So they're being used for this but not
[00:03:58] read in. That's interesting.
[00:04:02] US AF are able to turn their ADSB off
[00:04:05] and mode S2
[00:04:07] so that the trips to Israel aren't
[00:04:09] captured on any flight data logs.
[00:04:12] They've been directed to do this since
[00:04:14] at least 2024 while flying in SentCom.
[00:04:18] In other parts of Sentincom, this is at
[00:04:20] the commander's discretion.
[00:04:22] But if they're going to Nevatum Air
[00:04:24] Force Base, it's mandatory,
[00:04:28] especially if they are moving weapons,
[00:04:29] munitions, bombs, etc. into Israel.
[00:04:33] It occurred to me that the Cairo flights
[00:04:35] might not be to Cairo at all.
[00:04:39] >> I have been suspecting and wondering the
[00:04:41] same thing for quite some time. So, I
[00:04:45] need to get with Ian and say, "Hey, when
[00:04:47] are your flights that you're having
[00:04:49] trouble meshing the timeline?"
[00:04:54] Because if those flights are daytime
[00:04:56] flights
[00:04:58] and it looks to you like enough time
[00:05:00] would be that they could fly file their
[00:05:02] flight plan to Cairo, turn the
[00:05:03] transponder off, go past Cairo to
[00:05:06] Israel, land, unload cargo, get back up
[00:05:09] into Egyptian airspace,
[00:05:11] um transponder back on, and then land in
[00:05:13] Cairo.
[00:05:18] Now you've now you've got yourself an
[00:05:20] issue. Number two, that was number one.
[00:05:25] Number two, I noticed this.
[00:05:28] >> So,
[00:05:28] >> you have Egyptian planes.
[00:05:29] >> What he was just talking about was
[00:05:30] actually about American planes. He was
[00:05:32] talking about American Air Force planes.
[00:05:33] That's going to be a whole new dig to
[00:05:35] do. Um, what we're looking at is
[00:05:37] Egyptian planes. And the question is,
[00:05:40] are some of these Egyptian planes
[00:05:42] actually spoofed Israeli planes that are
[00:05:44] spoofing that their takeoff and landing
[00:05:46] locations are actually in Cairo when
[00:05:49] they're actually taking off from
[00:05:50] somewhere in Israel?
[00:05:52] And I've been digging around on that for
[00:05:54] a long time here. And it's a near
[00:05:58] impossible thing to prove from the
[00:05:59] flight data alone, but there's a lot of
[00:06:02] interesting details that come up when
[00:06:04] you learn about that.
[00:06:05] >> And they're going to LBG airport in
[00:06:08] Paris instead of Charles de Gaul airport
[00:06:10] in Paris.
[00:06:11] >> Yeah. Big time. And LBG is an
[00:06:14] intelligence hub.
[00:06:17] I also wanted to mention that the Paris
[00:06:19] airport being uh LBG instead of CDG
[00:06:22] Charles de Gaulle is in my opinion a big
[00:06:24] deal. That's a general aviation airport.
[00:06:28] The fourth kind of aircraft like you
[00:06:29] mentioned on your show. That means it
[00:06:32] has just FBOs's almost no security and
[00:06:35] doesn't have commercial flights in or
[00:06:37] out. It is the wild west. I think it
[00:06:40] would be worth exploring if the Cairo
[00:06:42] flights are even out of Cairo,
[00:06:45] especially since the Paris flights are
[00:06:46] out of a little airirstrip and the May
[00:06:49] not flights are not out of a military
[00:06:51] base, but rather out of May not
[00:06:53] international airport nearby.
[00:06:56] Specifically, it looks like they park at
[00:06:58] a small FBO there, AV flight may not
[00:07:01] that is similar to how they park in
[00:07:04] Duncan and Provo, way off the main drag.
[00:07:09] Not many planes in or out from what I
[00:07:11] saw. I'm wondering if they are flying
[00:07:13] obscure FBOs's to avoid scrutiny. This
[00:07:16] is very unusual for a foreign military.
[00:07:19] Quote, unheard of.
[00:07:22] That's point two. So point one, the
[00:07:26] reason the timing may be off on Cairo is
[00:07:29] because they're not flying into Cairo at
[00:07:30] all. Or they are, but after they make a
[00:07:32] pit stop. Point two, hey, have you
[00:07:35] noticed they're landing at these little
[00:07:36] air strips? This is a foreign military
[00:07:39] jet. A foreign military jet that that
[00:07:42] that the king of Egypt flies on or the
[00:07:46] the president of Egypt flies on. I don't
[00:07:47] know if they have a king. They got a
[00:07:49] Pharaoh
[00:07:50] over there these days.
[00:07:51] >> A Pharaoh.
[00:07:52] >> It's a It's a president, right?
[00:07:53] >> They got a Pharaoh, bro.
[00:07:57] All right. Joint live stream right now,
[00:07:58] Baron.
[00:07:59] >> All right. Three.
[00:08:01] >> Three.
[00:08:03] >> Holy mackerel. You got another fan.
[00:08:05] You've got another fan.
[00:08:06] >> Oh gosh. Get over it. I got a
[00:08:08] girlfriend.
[00:08:10] >> I don't know if that's the same person
[00:08:11] that was going on about Ian liking tall
[00:08:14] guys with mustaches. All right.
[00:08:18] The the standard operating procedure,
[00:08:20] this is number three, for all foreign
[00:08:22] military personnel is that they may that
[00:08:24] they be escorted on and off any US
[00:08:26] airfield they fly into. Like they
[00:08:29] deplane and get directly onto a bus that
[00:08:32] has escorts for their entire stay.
[00:08:36] This is true of any foreign military.
[00:08:42] I've got to skip some of this so as not
[00:08:44] to out this person.
[00:08:48] Uh,
[00:08:53] hold on.
[00:08:54] Seem to have the same rules. Seem to be
[00:08:57] Israelis.
[00:09:01] We are never sure how they get in or
[00:09:03] out.
[00:09:04] and they don't always have escorts.
[00:09:08] They operate on US soil as they wish.
[00:09:13] In 2023, Israel and the United States
[00:09:16] lifted the IDF travel restrictions into
[00:09:18] and out of the United States.
[00:09:24] Since October 19, 2023, they've been
[00:09:26] able to fly any nation or friendly
[00:09:30] commercial partners into the US without
[00:09:32] a visa for up to 90 days.
[00:09:36] My conclusion, I get the feeling Egypt
[00:09:38] might be a cover.
[00:09:41] It would be a very smart way for Israel
[00:09:43] to do whatever they want in the US
[00:09:45] without oversight.
[00:09:48] >> Yep.
[00:09:50] >> So, that's the next point.
[00:09:51] >> That's a smart leaker.
[00:09:52] >> And here's the final point. Then I'm
[00:09:54] gonna
[00:09:54] >> That's a smart leaker.
[00:09:56] Now we're getting somewhere.
[00:09:59] Now we are getting somewhere. going to
[00:10:01] pull up some regulations that
[00:10:04] >> I think would put us on the on the path.
[00:10:09] >> I'm curious if he's about to talk about
[00:10:10] the regulations over the med
[00:10:12] >> to finding here. So, this information is
[00:10:14] coming from an email. I know people jump
[00:10:15] in and out of live streams. This is
[00:10:17] coming from an email um
[00:10:21] of somebody who knows these things.
[00:10:24] Last point here, any foreign military
[00:10:26] aircraft should be using a military base
[00:10:29] or joint base for US travel. In
[00:10:32] Wilmington, for example, they should be
[00:10:33] in and out of do, not ILG.
[00:10:36] They should be in and out of May not air
[00:10:38] force base, not AV flight at Mayot
[00:10:41] airport. These are not joint use
[00:10:44] airfields.
[00:10:44] >> He's dropping heat. He's dropping. If
[00:10:47] they are foreign diplomats, they need to
[00:10:49] use joint use airfields with a
[00:10:51] diplomatic clearance and have an MLAND
[00:10:54] number. This would appear to be
[00:10:56] something else. I cannot tell you how
[00:11:00] alarmed I am this is happening.
[00:11:05] And there's some other stuff, but I I
[00:11:06] don't want to I don't want to give away
[00:11:08] uh anything that would give away who
[00:11:10] that person is. So, here's the and I'm
[00:11:12] going to pull up something that I think
[00:11:13] should if anybody's enterprising and
[00:11:15] wants to file such things.
[00:11:18] Oh my gosh. Are you really? You're
[00:11:19] seeing gambling ads as you watch.
[00:11:22] I blocked them.
[00:11:23] >> Gross. Oh, I didn't know we could block
[00:11:25] them.
[00:11:25] >> Pull up.
[00:11:27] >> Where is it?
[00:11:28] >> That's cool.
[00:11:29] >> I'm going to pull up a regulation and
[00:11:33] read through this. This will give us an
[00:11:35] idea. Uh now this
[00:11:36] >> so I just pinned on a map where all of
[00:11:40] the air strips in Cairo are in the Cairo
[00:11:42] area and we are going to
[00:11:46] examine some of these Cairo flights
[00:11:49] and see what we see in a second here.
[00:11:51] >> This is a little nerdy. This is a little
[00:11:53] nerdy stuff here.
[00:11:54] >> Yeah, we're about to get nerdy.
[00:11:55] >> Give us an idea of why these Egyptian
[00:11:57] flights are so much more devastatingly
[00:12:00] scary than what we think we already
[00:12:01] know.
[00:12:02] >> Yep. This is the diplomatic aircraft
[00:12:05] clearance procedures for foreign state
[00:12:07] aircraft to operate in United States
[00:12:08] National Airspace.
[00:12:09] >> This is not what I was expecting.
[00:12:11] >> This is not a suggestion.
[00:12:13] If you want to fly a foreign aircraft
[00:12:15] into the United States, a foreign
[00:12:17] government aircraft into the United
[00:12:19] States, this is the law you must follow.
[00:12:22] You must get, for example, a diplomatic
[00:12:25] clearance number. It has to be issued in
[00:12:28] advance by the US Department of State.
[00:12:31] Let me blow this up a little bit here.
[00:12:33] Oh,
[00:12:35] there you go. Um, real quick, I'm gonna
[00:12:37] backtrack it a little bit.
[00:12:41] Um, anytime you see someone on a stream
[00:12:43] say something like with a source like
[00:12:45] this, Diploatic
[00:12:47] aircraft
[00:12:49] clearance procedures for foreign
[00:12:54] state aircraft.
[00:13:01] Cool. Got it. For
[00:13:03] >> foreign state aircraft to operate in
[00:13:04] United States National Airspace. This is
[00:13:06] a law. This is not a suggestion.
[00:13:09] If you want to fly a foreign aircraft
[00:13:12] into the United States, a foreign
[00:13:14] government aircraft into the United
[00:13:15] States, this is the law you must follow.
[00:13:19] You must get, for example, a diplomatic
[00:13:21] clearance number. It has to be issued in
[00:13:24] advance by the US Department of State.
[00:13:27] Let me blow this up a little bit here.
[00:13:31] There you go.
[00:13:34] So that's number one. You got to get a
[00:13:35] diplomatic clearance number. Number two,
[00:13:38] in order to obtain one, you must submit
[00:13:40] an application via the webbased
[00:13:43] diplomatic clearance application system,
[00:13:46] which means there should be a written
[00:13:49] record of every one of these Egyptian
[00:13:52] flights. And we're going to find out
[00:13:54] more about what's on this record. It's
[00:13:55] good. It's really good.
[00:13:59] But the DCAS
[00:14:01] is the process you use to fill out a DCN
[00:14:06] to get a unique diplomatic clearance
[00:14:09] number.
[00:14:12] Now, how long ahead of time do you have
[00:14:14] to do this? No less than three business
[00:14:17] days in advance.
[00:14:19] So before the aircraft enters the United
[00:14:22] States,
[00:14:24] you must have every leg of your trip
[00:14:28] scheduled in advance
[00:14:33] three days before you show up.
[00:14:37] Number four,
[00:14:43] uh
[00:14:47] yes. So, you have to have a DCM for your
[00:14:50] arrival into the United States,
[00:14:53] and it has to be pretty accurate within
[00:14:55] three hours,
[00:14:57] your movement within the United States.
[00:14:59] So,
[00:14:59] >> none of this taken off seven hours ahead
[00:15:01] of schedule like the Provo planes are
[00:15:04] doing. You fly in to Miami and then go
[00:15:07] to Provo and then go to Lincoln and go
[00:15:10] to Witchah and then go to Delaware and
[00:15:13] then fly out,
[00:15:14] >> your DCN must have that movement within
[00:15:17] the United States and it must be amended
[00:15:20] if you change it.
[00:15:23] And then before you leave Wilmington to
[00:15:25] head to Paris, you must have that that
[00:15:28] uh departure on there.
[00:15:34] So all of this has to be logged ahead of
[00:15:36] time.
[00:15:41] This is required for military.
[00:15:44] If you if you request to land at a
[00:15:46] military air force
[00:15:50] and the foreign government is
[00:15:51] responsible for
[00:15:54] uh which airfield you're going to use.
[00:15:57] Here's the key here. It is the foreign
[00:16:00] government's responsibility to submit a
[00:16:03] complete manifest of both crew and
[00:16:06] passengers
[00:16:09] a minimum of 48 hours prior prior to
[00:16:12] arrival in the United States. So these
[00:16:15] planes
[00:16:17] there should be a manifest that lists
[00:16:22] every single and we can foyer them.
[00:16:26] >> We can foyer them.
[00:16:28] >> They should be there.
[00:16:31] All right, Baron. Now we're cooking with
[00:16:32] gas.
[00:16:33] >> Complete manifest.
[00:16:35] >> And now three, the procedures to submit
[00:16:38] for the clearance. Go down here to three
[00:16:40] uh I
[00:16:43] uh C3I.
[00:16:46] Your itinerary again has to be before
[00:16:50] arrival.
[00:16:52] Has to be before arrival. Um and then
[00:16:55] D1. Oh, here's your itinerary. Excuse
[00:16:57] me.
[00:16:58] You must enter the date, time, and name
[00:17:00] of the airport from which it's departing
[00:17:02] immediately prior to entering the United
[00:17:04] States. Um,
[00:17:08] you have to enter the date and time when
[00:17:10] it will be arriving at its first
[00:17:12] destination. You must list all airports
[00:17:14] you'll be transiting, the dates, the
[00:17:16] times of arrival and departure for each
[00:17:18] location,
[00:17:19] everything in Zulu time so there's no
[00:17:21] confusion.
[00:17:28] And then one
[00:17:31] >> the clearance only for this itinerary
[00:17:33] which means you can't change it.
[00:17:36] >> You can't change your itinerary and then
[00:17:39] say whoops.
[00:17:41] >> This is law ladies and gentlemen. This
[00:17:43] is not a suggestion. This is not a
[00:17:45] polite request. This is not like when
[00:17:47] you go into the DMV to get your driver's
[00:17:50] license and they ask you to stand up
[00:17:51] against the wall on the left side. They
[00:17:53] can't arrest you if you stand on the
[00:17:54] right side. That's not how that works.
[00:17:58] So this is this evidence exists in all
[00:18:02] likelihood or should. And if it doesn't
[00:18:05] exist, if you cannot produce this
[00:18:07] evidence, government,
[00:18:09] if you cannot produce this evidence,
[00:18:12] then who was on the planes? And and
[00:18:13] where were these planes going? Were they
[00:18:14] really going to Cairo? Were they really
[00:18:16] Egyptian passengers?
[00:18:20] Now, I want to show you something an
[00:18:21] astute reader pointed me to.
[00:18:24] >> Okay. Um, yeah, Baron. Yeah, now we're
[00:18:26] Now we're cooking. Now we are cooking.
[00:18:31] And, um,
[00:18:33] I've got the same web page pulled up
[00:18:35] right here.
[00:18:36] It all checks out.
[00:18:40] I've got a map of the airports around in
[00:18:43] the Cairo area that we can compare in a
[00:18:45] moment.
[00:18:47] Um,
[00:18:49] but
[00:18:52] I I've got a vibe.
[00:18:56] I've got something to admit to you, too.
[00:18:58] I've got a secret to admit.
[00:19:02] I've never filed a foyer request before.
[00:19:06] Never in my life have I filed a foyer
[00:19:08] request.
[00:19:12] Um,
[00:19:17] but I don't see why we shouldn't start
[00:19:19] right now.
[00:19:21] So
[00:19:23] maybe we should start right now. Claude
[00:19:25] suggested
[00:19:27] that, hey,
[00:19:30] this is the information about the
[00:19:32] airports. I'm like, how would you go
[00:19:34] about foying them? And it's like, well,
[00:19:38] the responsible office is the Bureau of
[00:19:41] Political Military Affairs, Office of
[00:19:42] Defense Integration, formerly known as
[00:19:45] the Office of International Security
[00:19:46] Operations. We're learning things. The
[00:19:50] office issues all DCN's through the
[00:19:51] diplomatic clearance application system.
[00:19:53] Contact right there. What records exist?
[00:19:55] Submit your foyer request to
[00:19:59] this online portal and this email.
[00:20:03] Command C.
[00:20:05] command V
[00:20:08] or a mailing address. And here's a
[00:20:11] sample foil letter. But key
[00:20:12] considerations, they might claim these
[00:20:14] exemptions.
[00:20:16] So, let's be signific specific.
[00:20:22] Request fee waiver. Emphasize
[00:20:24] journalistic purpose and public
[00:20:25] interest. Narrow scope if needed. If
[00:20:27] they push back on volume, you can limit
[00:20:28] to specific aircraft tail numbers if you
[00:20:30] have them from flight radar 24. I do.
[00:20:37] Um, should we limit it to specifically
[00:20:39] our flights?
[00:20:43] Because we could do that.
[00:20:49] Um,
[00:20:52] I know this might feel a little boring,
[00:20:54] but I think we're about to foy these
[00:20:55] [ __ ] I mean, these wonderful
[00:20:58] government employees.
[00:21:04] All right.
[00:21:07] So,
[00:21:08] please rewrite sample here. I'll pull
[00:21:12] this up so it's in your view so you guys
[00:21:14] can be involved in this.
[00:21:19] Please rewrite the sample FOYA request
[00:21:24] to specifically
[00:21:26] target
[00:21:27] SU BTV,
[00:21:32] SU
[00:21:34] BND,
[00:21:36] SU BTT,
[00:21:39] SU
[00:21:41] BTU.
[00:21:43] O, comma,
[00:21:49] and SU BGM.
[00:21:53] There are others, but those five are the
[00:21:55] most significant. There's two others
[00:21:56] that don't have as much um as much spice
[00:22:01] on them, so I'm going to limit it to
[00:22:03] those five for now.
[00:22:06] Also, please
[00:22:09] include the more advanced and specific
[00:22:13] wording you just formulated
[00:22:18] as well as the request for electronic
[00:22:24] uh
[00:22:27] submission of records
[00:22:32] respond.
[00:22:34] Cool.
[00:22:52] Freedom of Information Act request. US
[00:22:53] Department of State read diplomatic
[00:22:55] clearance records for specific Egyptian
[00:22:58] state aircraft.
[00:23:01] Dear Foy officer, pursuant to the
[00:23:03] Freedom Information Act blank. I request
[00:23:05] access to records from the diplomatic
[00:23:07] clearance application system maintained
[00:23:08] by the Bureau of Political Military
[00:23:10] Affairs, Office of Defense Inte
[00:23:11] Integration pertaining to diplomatic
[00:23:13] clearances issued for the following
[00:23:15] specific Egyptian registered state
[00:23:16] aircraft for the period of January 1st,
[00:23:18] 2024 through December 3rd, 2025.
[00:23:22] No,
[00:23:34] September
[00:23:36] 1st,
[00:23:38] 2024
[00:23:42] through
[00:23:44] December
[00:23:47] December
[00:23:49] 3rd,
[00:23:51] 2025. Five.
[00:24:01] A few notes.
[00:24:17] Yeah, because it's just five aircrafts,
[00:24:19] they'll have a harder time claiming it's
[00:24:20] overly burdensome, but it's a very
[00:24:23] targeted request for government
[00:24:24] aircraft, so they'll probably say no.
[00:24:30] Oh, see Claude's thinking ahead. Should
[00:24:32] we also ask Customs and Border Patrol?
[00:24:35] We'll do that next.
[00:24:40] for the period of September 1st, 2024
[00:24:42] through December 3rd, 2025.
[00:24:44] This request is limited to records
[00:24:45] pertaining to the following five
[00:24:47] aircrafts identified by Egyptian civil
[00:24:48] registration number SUBTV through SUBGM.
[00:24:51] This includes any records where these
[00:24:52] aircrafts operate under diplomatic
[00:24:54] clearance regardless of call sign used
[00:24:55] and any records where these registration
[00:24:57] numbers appear in any field of a DCAS
[00:24:59] application or related correspondent.
[00:25:01] Scope of request.
[00:25:04] We're asking for names of indiv
[00:25:06] individual passengers, names of indiv
[00:25:08] individual crew members, etc.
[00:25:13] This includes any records, scope of
[00:25:15] request.
[00:25:17] Um, let's reformat it so that it looks
[00:25:19] good.
[00:25:24] Thanks, Claude, for formatting for us.
[00:25:28] But who knows, maybe it'll now be
[00:25:30] shorter shortened lines when they
[00:25:31] actually open it and read it.
[00:25:33] I specifically request the following
[00:25:36] categories of information which I
[00:25:37] believe are routinely disclosed do not
[00:25:38] implicate classified sources or methods
[00:25:40] and are unlikely to qualify for
[00:25:42] exemption. Oo
[00:25:44] yeah fiery diplomatic clearance numbers
[00:25:47] issued for each aircraft. Dates of
[00:25:48] approved clearances. Aircraft type and
[00:25:50] model for each registration number. AO
[00:25:53] call signs filed on flight plans for
[00:25:54] each clearance. Designation of aircraft
[00:25:56] category etc.
[00:25:59] Operating entity or agency, for example,
[00:26:01] Egyptian Air Force, Egyptian government
[00:26:03] ministry or charter operator. Category
[00:26:05] B, itinerary information,
[00:26:07] US airports of entry, transit and
[00:26:09] departure for each flight, etc. whether
[00:26:11] military airfields or civilian airports
[00:26:13] were used. Ant any intermediate stops
[00:26:15] within US airspace, point of origin,
[00:26:18] departure country and airport and final
[00:26:19] destination if listed in application.
[00:26:22] Whether a military landing authorization
[00:26:24] number was issued for any flight, the
[00:26:26] issuing military branch, any prior
[00:26:28] permissions required, general general
[00:26:30] stated purpose category is listed on
[00:26:31] each application, whether the flight was
[00:26:33] designated as VIP, any amendments filed
[00:26:36] to original clearance applications.
[00:26:38] Category D, correspondence and
[00:26:40] communications
[00:26:47] information expressly not requested to
[00:26:49] narrow the scope. Oh
[00:26:54] yeah, we're going to do this one without
[00:26:55] actually requesting the names of
[00:26:56] individual passengers.
[00:26:59] Then we can file another one that asks
[00:27:01] for those things. it might get denied
[00:27:03] even without all of this stuff.
[00:27:07] In the alternative, if the department
[00:27:09] determines that individual flight
[00:27:10] records for these aircrafts cannot be
[00:27:11] disclosed in full, I request the
[00:27:12] following. Aggregate or summary data,
[00:27:14] which would not implicate any exemption.
[00:27:15] Total number of DCMs issued for each of
[00:27:18] the five aircraft. Total number of
[00:27:19] flights into US airspace by each
[00:27:21] aircraft. List of US airports that
[00:27:23] received any of these five aircraft
[00:27:24] during the requested period. Breakdown
[00:27:26] of flights by general mission category.
[00:27:27] Number of flights by each aircraft that
[00:27:29] utilize military airfields versus
[00:27:30] civilian airports. Date, range of
[00:27:32] operations for each aircraft. Solid. If
[00:27:36] exemptions are claimed, Claude is so
[00:27:37] thorough. They got they must hate AI.
[00:27:42] Should the department invoke any FOY
[00:27:44] exemptions to withhold responsive
[00:27:45] records or portions thereof, I request a
[00:27:47] Vaughn index identifying each. Let's
[00:27:49] make this hard. Each withheld document
[00:27:51] or redacted portion with sufficiently
[00:27:52] spec specificity to permit meaningful
[00:27:54] administrative appeal and if necessary
[00:27:56] judicial review for each withholding or
[00:27:58] redaction identification of specific
[00:28:00] claims etc.
[00:28:05] Okay. Okay.
[00:28:08] Foreseeable harm standard.
[00:28:20] I respectfully submit the disclosure of
[00:28:22] the operational flight data requested
[00:28:24] herein would not cause foreseeable harm
[00:28:26] to any interest protected by the FOYA
[00:28:27] exemptions for the following reasons.
[00:28:32] Their numbers, types, and movements are
[00:28:34] already publicly observable through ADSB
[00:28:36] broadcast data.
[00:28:38] The airports visited are matters of
[00:28:39] public record observable by airport
[00:28:41] personnel. The dates and times of flight
[00:28:43] operations are historical facts
[00:28:44] pertaining to completed travel. Egypt is
[00:28:47] a close US ally and major recipient of
[00:28:49] US security assistance. Routine
[00:28:50] diplomatic flight clearances to and from
[00:28:52] this partner nation do not implicate
[00:28:54] sensitive intelligence sources or
[00:28:55] methods. Disclosure of basic flight data
[00:28:57] does not reveal aircraft security
[00:28:59] vulnerabilities, defensive capabilities,
[00:29:00] or classified technical specifications.
[00:29:03] It's pretty airtight. Honestly,
[00:29:07] I request a full waiver of all search,
[00:29:09] review, and duplication fees pursuant to
[00:29:11] 5 USC. Disclosure is in the public
[00:29:14] interest because subject matter.
[00:29:17] The records concern identifiable
[00:29:18] operations and activities of the US
[00:29:20] government. Specifically, the Department
[00:29:21] of State exercises statutory authority
[00:29:22] under this code. Public understanding
[00:29:24] disclosure will contribute significantly
[00:29:26] to public understanding of these
[00:29:27] government operations. There's currently
[00:29:28] minimal public information available
[00:29:29] regarding the scope, frequency, and
[00:29:31] nature of foreign state aircrafts
[00:29:32] operating in US airspace. We have a
[00:29:34] legitimate US interest in understanding
[00:29:35] how the department exercises its
[00:29:36] diplomatic clearance authority.
[00:29:39] Dissemination capability. I'm a
[00:29:40] journalist who operates an independent
[00:29:41] media platform focused on investigative
[00:29:43] reporting and government transparency. I
[00:29:44] have the means and intent to disseminate
[00:29:46] information obtained through this
[00:29:47] request to a broad public audience
[00:29:49] through video reporting and written
[00:29:50] analysis. No commercial interest. I have
[00:29:52] no commercial interest in the requested
[00:29:53] records beyond their use in journalism
[00:29:55] serving the public interest. I do not
[00:29:57] intend to use these records for
[00:29:58] commercial sale, competitive advantage,
[00:29:59] or any purpose other than informing
[00:30:01] public disclosure.
[00:30:10] Yep.
[00:30:13] Yep.
[00:30:17] No physical mail is requested or
[00:30:19] required.
[00:30:22] I consent to receiving these public
[00:30:24] documents electronically.
[00:30:34] I mean, you guys can find this part if
[00:30:36] you want to find my email. It's not hard
[00:30:39] to find.
[00:30:52] response deadline.
[00:30:56] Solid.
[00:30:58] Solid
[00:31:21] We'll take this out because we're not
[00:31:22] signing it. At least not physically.
[00:31:30] What do you think, chat? Are we making a
[00:31:32] huge mistake?
[00:31:38] Do you think we're making a huge mistake
[00:31:40] here?
[00:31:42] Foyer request for records pertaining to
[00:31:44] Egyptian aircrafts operating in US
[00:31:46] airspace.
[00:31:55] Cool.
[00:31:58] Cool.
[00:32:10] We won't we won't go through sending the
[00:32:12] second one, but I'm going to get it
[00:32:13] started on crafting one.
[00:32:28] And then
[00:32:30] uh let's see if Baron had any more to do
[00:32:32] with the flights here.
[00:32:33] >> I mean, this is hilarious on a level of
[00:32:35] hilarity that I didn't know he was
[00:32:36] capable of.
[00:32:40] An astute viewer of this program sent me
[00:32:43] this picture.
[00:32:45] This is an actual Egyptian plane. One of
[00:32:48] the SU planes. I think this is
[00:32:51] >> this is funny. I saw this
[00:32:53] >> SU uh this isn't BTT. I think this is
[00:32:56] BTV actually. But if you notice, you
[00:33:01] look and this is that plane and it's
[00:33:02] flying into Delaware of all places. But
[00:33:04] there's actually a man in that window.
[00:33:06] I'll zoom in in just a second and get
[00:33:08] you a better look. But there's actually
[00:33:10] a man in that window. You see that?
[00:33:13] There's a man in that window right
[00:33:15] there. He's sitting in the fourth row of
[00:33:18] plane SUVt
[00:33:21] that was flying from I think Witchah or
[00:33:24] Lincoln to Wilmington in August of this
[00:33:27] year. This picture was procured online.
[00:33:30] I have asked the photographer for a
[00:33:33] higher quality image.
[00:33:36] I said, "Can you get me a higher quality
[00:33:38] image?" Like, there's the highest
[00:33:39] quality I could get. Does anyone
[00:33:42] recognize this guy?
[00:33:46] >> All right. All right. All right.
[00:33:51] >> Imagine if it's Jeffrey. I know, right?
[00:33:52] Classic. Classic.
[00:33:56] Okay.
[00:33:57] So, we foyed the boys.
[00:34:02] That would be enough to collapse the
[00:34:04] current paradigm and change the whole
[00:34:07] planet.
