And Mike Lynch is missing not 24 hour before when the yacht he was on sunk. A hell of a coincidence.

Also adding that several top members of Mike Lynch's legal team were on the yacht, and one has been reported as missing.

Well they were celebrating winning the trial so that part makes sense.

sunk by a freaking tornado at that...

Currently duck-duck-go-ing "hewlett packard weather engineering".

It is now clear that all those Climate Research super computers HP has been involved in have yielded unexpected new capabilities... please subscribe to my newsletter to learn more.

Subscribed. Maybe they never stopped working on "The Machine", after all? ;-)

The only reason I can't go full tinfoil on this is that it takes a hell of a lot of things working out to fake your death by sailing into a fortuitous freak tornado. How would you even plan and execute that? If he'd just disappeared from the boat in the night or something it would be a different story.

But it sure is weird as hell.

> is that it takes a hell of a lot of things working out to fake your death by sailing into a fortuitous freak tornado

It takes hell of a lot less things working out to actually die after a freaking Panavia Tornado[0] unexpectedly drops something on you.

Not that I'm draped in tinfoil or anything, but the more I read about all this, the more it feels like watching a thriller.

The faker of his death could wait for any storm and pull the plug of the boat, though.

Not like 'I hope there is a storm the 15th of May'.

I agree, but they are choosing a dead end path:

whoever wants to know where they are can sample DNA from as many relatives as possible, surreptitiously.

Nanopores can be made with dielectric breakdown of a thin piece of etched wafer.

Low input current noise op-amps can be used to measure the nanopore signal.

A dedicated skip tracer will find you through environmental DNA.

That sounds like science fiction. Do those machines exist today?

during the covid pandemic and the container ship that blocked the Suez canal, there were sites tracking the movements of ship transponders.

do we have a similar track for this yacht? was it intentionally moving towards the tornado?

do you have a link for the tornado presence?

So, the weather manipulation devices are really existing? /s
