1. Field McConnell offers expert-witness support to plaintiff suits for the wrongful deaths of everyone (160) on board GermanWings Flight 9525 which he attributes to bogus positioning, navigation and timing signals imputed by Serco 8(a) protégés into the plane's autopilot for a crash profile allegedly flown on on 24 March 2015 by Andreas ‘Der Amok Pilot' Lubitz.

2. In 1996, Serco protégés installed master clocks in a bunker at Number One Observatory Circle – the official residence of the current Vice President of the United States Joe Biden – and various E4B aircraft which gave Serco's 8(a) clients serial opportunities to launch synchronized MitM attack on passenger planes and spot fix the time of the Lubitz crash.

3. In 2001, Serco allegedly set up 8(a) synchronized-clock servers for Clinton's 100 Women in Hedge Funds group to spot fix the time of deaths of victims of online assassination betting and long/short frauds on companies such as Lubitz's employer Lufthansa.

McConnell offers his expert witness services to plaintiffs in wrongful-death lawsuits while he exposes Serco's use of bogus positioning, navigation and timing signals to kill its clients' targets in his e-book "Shaking Hands With the Devil's Clocks".

"Germanwings Flight 9525 (4U9525/GWI18G)[5][a] was a scheduled international passenger flight from Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain to Düsseldorf Airport in Germany, operated by Germanwings, a low-cost airline owned by Lufthansa. On 24 March2015, the aircraft, an Airbus A320-200, crashed 100 kilometres (62 mi) northwest of Nice, in the French Alps, after a constant descent that began one minute after the last routine contact with air traffic control and shortly after the aircraft had reached its assigned cruise altitude. All 144 passengers and six crew members were killed.

The crash was deliberately caused by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz. Having previously been treated for suicidal tendencies and been declared "unfit to work" by a doctor, Lubitz kept this information from his employer and reported for duty. During the flight, he locked the pilot out of the cockpit before initiating a descent that caused the aircraft to crash into a mountain.”

F.A.A. Raised Questions About Andreas Lubitz's Depression Before Germanwings Crash 
By NICHOLAS KULISH and NICOLA CLARKAPRIL 29, 2015 
The Federal Aviation Administration raised questions in 2010 about whether it should grant a pilot’s license in the United States to Andreas Lubitz, who in March flew a Germanwings jetliner into a French mountainside, but was assured by his doctors in Germany that he had fully recovered from an episode of depression the year before, according to newly released documents.

The release of the information, in response to Freedom of Information Act requests from news organizations, helps to fill in gaps in the timeline of Mr. Lubitz’s illness and treatment, and shows that the authorities in the United States were aware at the time that he had suffered from psychiatric problems.

According to the documents made public by the aviation administration, Mr. Lubitz was treated from January 2009 to that October with at least two drugs, Cipralex and mirtazapine. During that period, he was on leave from Lufthansa’s pilot-training school, a program that normally lasts around two years and included a period of several months at a Lufthansa-owned center in Arizona where he would learn to fly small planes.

Ultimately the agency decided that Mr. Lubitz could travel to the United States and continue his training, but warned him that he would be prohibited from flying if his depression recurred.

There is also evidence suggesting that Mr. Lubitz might have tried to mislead the F.A.A.about his treatment, initially marking “no” in response to a question on whether he had ever been treated for mental disorders on a form dated June 2010. Referring to a question number on the form, the file notes, "changed from N to Y."

"Why he didn't check yes, I don't know," said Dr. Warren S. Silberman, the former manager of aerospace medical certification for the aviation administration whose office reviewed Mr. Lubitz's application for a United States medical certificate.

"He cannot leave it blank. It won’t transmit," he said. "I would have advised him to check yes." Dr. Silberman said Mr. Lubitz's online application form appeared to have been changed after the fact by a Lufthansa doctor to reflect the treatment he had received. 

Map: What Happened on the Germanwings Flight

Germany's strict privacy laws have frustrated efforts to understand how Mr. Lubitz became a pilot despite the severe depressive episode and how his increasingly troubled behavior in the months leading up to the crash raised no alarms at Germanwings or its parent company, Lufthansa. French prosecutors say that Mr. Lubitz, 27, intentionally flew the Airbus A320 bound from Barcelona, Spain, to Düsseldorf, Germany, with 149 other people on board, into a mountain range on March 24.

An avid glider pilot as a teenager, he was accepted into Lufthansa's highly selective flight academy in 2008. Records show that a Lufthansa flight doctor examined him that April and gave him a clean bill of health; the only condition noted was a tonsillectomy.

Yet just six months later, he had been diagnosed with "reactive depression" — a disorder triggered by stressful or traumatic events. “In the case of Mr. Lubitz, modified living conditions caused the onset of a depressive episode,” according to an account provided to the aviation administration by his doctor in Germany. By January 2009, though, he was undergoing treatment with psychotherapy and antidepressant drugs, the documents say. The known timeline of Mr. Lubitz's career suggests this was after his move to Lufthansa's flight school campus in Bremen, Germany, from his parents’ home in the small town of Montabaur.

The name of the psychologist who treated him in Germany was redacted, but the psychologist was described as specializing in psychotherapy “for children and juveniles." Mr. Lubitz's "high motivation and active participation contributed to the successful completion of the treatment, after the management of the symptoms," a document provided to the F.A.A. said.

In addition to psychotherapy Mr. Lubitz was treated with Cipralex, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and mirtazapine, a drug used to treat major depressive disorders. According to the documents, Mr. Lubitz's use of the medication had been “tapered” by July 2009. The treatment "enabled him to develop the sufficient resources for getting on with similar situations in the future," one document said.

Lufthansa has said that Mr. Lubitz sent an email after his treatment in 2009 seeking reinstatement to its flight-training program, acknowledging that he had suffered from severe depression. Lufthansa put him back through its standard applicant-screening process and medical tests.

To advance through the Lufthansa program Mr. Lubitz had to complete his flight-training in Arizona. At a flight school near Phoenix young pilots make their first real flights in single-engine aircraft, a prerequisite for continuing to the next phase of the Lufthansa training program.

Contributed by: News Documents, The New York Times But before he could begin the Arizona program, Mr. Lubitz needed a student pilot’s license as well as a valid medical certificate from a flight doctor.

The F.A.A. medical certification division wrote to Mr. Lubitz, saying that they were "unable to establish your eligibility to hold an airman medical certification at this time," according to a letter dated July 8, 2010. Because of his history of depression, the agency requested a “current detailed status report from your prescribing physician."

Mr. Lubitz was not denied the certificate outright, and was told to get back in touch with the agency within 30 days.

On July 28, 2010, his request was granted, with the warning: "Because of your history of reactive depression, operation of aircraft is prohibited at any time new symptoms or adverse changes occur or any time medication and/or treatment is required."

Mr. Lubitz's diagnosis, according to a document marked as a certified translation from the German, was "severe depressive episode without psychotic symptoms in complete remission.” The statement calls him "completely recovered, there is not any residuum remained."

Ultimately Mr. Lubitz received his third-class medical certificate from the F.A.A. and was allowed to continue his training, receive his pilot’s license and ultimately secure a job as a co-pilot for Germanwings.

"Lufthansa could face 'unlimited' compensation claims for Germanwings crash 
How much the airline pays to families of victims depends on where claims are filed 
By Karl Ritter, The Associated Press Posted: Mar 27, 2015 5:34 PM ET Last Updated: Mar 27, 2015 5:39 PM ET 
Lufthansa could face "unlimited" compensation claims for the crash that killed 150 people in the French alps and it would be difficult, even counterproductive, for the German carrier to try to avoid liability, experts said Friday.

Under a treaty governing deaths and injuries aboard international flights, airlines are required to compensate relatives of victims for proven damages of up to a limit currently set at about $157,000 — regardless of what caused the crash.

But higher compensation is possible if a carrier is held liable. LIVE BLOG | Germanwings crash Andreas Lubitz, Germanwings co-pilot, called 100% fit to fly Cockpit security scrutinized after crash revelations "So more or less you will have unlimited financial damage," said Marco Abate, a German aviation lawyer.

To avoid liability, a carrier has to prove that the crash wasn't due to "negligence or other wrongful act" by its employees, according to Article 21 of the 1999 Montreal Convention.

That would be a difficult argument to make when a pilot intentionally crashes a plane into a mountain, and one that Lufthansa would likely avoid as it could further damage the brand, Abate said.

Investigators say the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 locked himself into the cockpit and slammed the Airbus A320 into the Alps. Germanwings is a subsidiary of Lufthansa.

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr on Thursday said the airline would honour "international arrangements regulating liability" and noted that it already has offered immediate financial aid to anyone requiring it. He didn't mention any figures.

ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUAL COVERAGE OF SCENES OF INJURY OR DEATH 
French gendarmes and investigators make their way through the debris of the Airbus A320 at the site of the crash near Seyne-les-Alpes, French Alps March 26, 2015. A young German co-pilot locked himself alone in the cockpit of Germanwings flight 9525 and set it on course to crash into an Alpine mountain, killing all 150 people on board including himself, prosecutors said on Thursday. French prosecutors offered no motive for why 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz apparently took the controls of the Airbus A320, locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately set it veering down from cruising altitude at 3,000 feet per minute.

How much the airline ends up paying in compensation will depend on where claims are filed. The options in this case, a German flight en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, are many, said Dutch lawyer Sander de Lang.

"For example, French law because that is where it ... crashed, German law because in most cases the passengers had return tickets to and from Germany. But some people may have bought tickets in Spain, then Spanish law could be appropriate," he said.

In some countries including the Netherlands, there's no compensation for emotional suffering, he said.

Families of American victims could sue in U.S.

Damages are typically much lower in Europe than in the U.S., where in domestic air crashes, juries have awarded plaintiffs sometimes millions of dollars per passenger.

The families of the three American victims could sue the airline in U.S. courts. Article 33 of the Montreal Convention states that a passenger's "principal and permanent residence" is used to determine jurisdiction for lawsuits regarding passenger deaths or injuries.

Abate said that in German courts, damages for pain and suffering typically don't exceed €10,000 euros ($13,730 Cdn). However, Lufthansa could face much bigger claims for loss of financial support. If the breadwinner of a family was killed in a plane crash, the survivors can sue for years of lost income, Abate said.

Several analysts said Lufthansa will probably reach settlements with relatives of victims to avoid going to court. Once the shock and grief subsides, the compensation issues should be resolved quickly, said Wouter Munten, a Dutch lawyer representing relatives of victims of last year's downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine.

"People always say take your time for grief," he said. "But not everyone has the luxury to wait. Children have to be fed and go to school.""

"Official residence of the Vice President of the United States[edit]  
Main article: Number One Observatory Circle
Since 1974, and separated from auspices of the Naval Observatory, Number One Observatory Circle, a house situated in the grounds of the observatory, which was formerly the residence of its superintendent, and later the home of the Chief of Naval Operations, has been the official residence of the Vice President of the United States.[26]

According to a 15 May 2009 blog posting by Newsweek's Eleanor Clift,[27] Vice President Joe Biden revealed the existence of what Clift described as a bunker-like room in the residence. The bunker is the secure, undisclosed location where former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks: according to Clift's report, entitled "Shining Light on Cheney's Hideaway":

"Biden said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment."

Biden's press office subsequently issued a statement denying the bunker report, suggesting that Biden had instead been describing "an upstairs workspace".[28]

Located in Northwest Washington, D.C. at the Northwestern end of Embassy Row, it is one of the pre-1900astronomical observatories located in an urban area; at the time of its construction, it was far from the light pollution thrown off by the (then-smaller) city center. The USNO operates the "Master Clock",[3] which provides precise time to the GPS satellite constellation run by the U.S. Air Force. The USNO performs radio VLBI-based positions of quasars with numerous global collaborators, in order to produce Earth Orientation parameters.

"Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in current use. NTP was originally designed by David L. Mills of the University of Delaware, who still oversees its development.  … While no one doubts the contribution of NTP to network performance, several security concerns have arisen in late 2014. Previously, researchers became aware that NTP servers can be susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks unless packets are cryptographically signed for authentication.[27] The computational overhead involved can make this impractical on busy servers, particularly during denial of service attacks.[28] NTP message spoofing can be used to move clocks on client computers and allow a number of attacks based on bypassing of cryptographic key expiration.[29]"

"Watchdog: Clinton, Abedin and Mills Have Broken 2 Federal Laws 
Director of Investigations for Judicial Watch and former Army counterintelligence agent, Chris Farrell, says that Hillary and her top two advisers, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, appear to have broken at least two federal National Security laws in the handling of their emails. The first violation is that they transmitted and received classified information using a private server. He says that Hillary's supporters claim that using a private server to transmit classified information is a minor offense. Farrell says that is anything but the truth.

Farrell points out that Hillary using a private server is the first time ever in this country that a cabinet member has used a private server for their administrative duties. Despite what Hillary tries to lie about, it’s never been done before. Her claims about former Secretaries of State Condi Rice and Colin Powell using private emails is disingenuous in that they used their private emails sparingly and not solely as Clinton did and the fact they used devices supplied by the government with protective software installed.

Farrell also pointed out that Abedin and Mills have both failed to certify they have turned over all of their emails as they were ordered to do by a federal judge. They were ordered to provide the State Department with sworn statements under oath and under the threat of perjury that they turned over all of thei documents from their time in government service.

Responding to Clinton, her campaign staff and supporters, who claim nothing Hillary did was of a serious nature, Farrell stated:

"It is not," he said. "It is a national security crime, and should be a national security crime investigation," he said, noting that Clinton created the private email server a week before she took up her duties at Foggy Bottom, indicating that she planned to avoid using official email that must be stored under federal rules.

Two laws apply to the mishandling of classified data on unsecure networks, Farrell said.

The first is 18 USC Sec. 1924, which outlaws the unauthorized removal and storage of classified information. Penalties can include fines and imprisonment for up to one year.

That statute was used to prosecute retired Army General David Petraeus, a former CIA director who provided classified documents to his mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell. Petraeus was sentenced to two years' probation and a $40,000 fine as part of a plea deal in March.

A second federal statute that prosecutors could use to charge Clinton and her aides is 18 USC Sec. 793, a more serious felony statute Farrell described as a "hammer."

That law covers national defense information and people who misuse it to injure the United States or benefit a foreign power.

Those convicted of violating that law face fines and up to 10 years in prison.

Farrell points out that unlike other crimes, intentions cannot be taken into account.

Something you readers should also consider is that there has been a steady leak of information on this scandal, unlike the many scandals under Obama. The reason is that Obama can stonewall any investigation for years. The fact that this scandal has legs is because Obama is allowing or even helping it make itself known. He and Hillary are not big fans of each other and Obama would prefer a candidate who will listen to him and continue his fundamental transformation of America."

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the £1.3 trillion hedge fund women 
In their elegant ballgowns, they could be among the guests at any charity reception hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

In fact, these are some of the most powerful and influential individuals to have gathered at St James's Palace. All leading figures in finance, they help to control assets totalling £1.3 trillion.

The 14 women posed with the royal couple at a gala evening this month which raised £675,000 for charity. Now their identities and the extraordinary wealth for which they are responsible can be revealed.

They range from the senior executive at one of the world's biggest banks who competes in triathlons in her spare time, to the investment consultant who admits to owning 110 pairs of shoes.

The event marked a rare foray into the public arena for the women. Several are heads of hedge funds, the secretive investment vehicles which put money into complex financial schemes and can profit in a downturn by effectively betting on markets falling.

Others are executives at banks or asset management companies. Among them are chief executives, presidents, directors, and consultants. Members cover a range of nationalities, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the industry.

All are senior figures in 100 Women in Hedge Funds, a philanthropic organisation. The duke became a patron last year, and 100WHF will raise money for charities he is associated with; this month's gala supported the Child Bereavement Charity.

The link-up suggests that the Duke and Duchess are following the lead of the Prince of Wales in ensuring that their charitable initiatives win support from wealthy and influential figures.

100WHF, which has branches around the world, has raised millions of pounds for causes including women's health, education and mentoring.

Anne Popkin, chair of the organisation's global board, flew over from San Francisco for the London event. She said: "It is wonderful to raise such an amount. The reason we work so well with His Royal Highness is our aims and his aims are the same."

In a letter to 100WHF, the Duke wrote: "It is a privilege for me to be Patron of this exciting endeavour." Left-to-right in photograph:

Civilian employees of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, working in concert with an employee of Alaska Native Corporation Eyak Technology LLC allegedly submitted fraudulent bills to the program, totaling over 20 million dollars, and kept the money for their own use.[26] It also alleged that the group planned to steer a further 780 million dollars towards their favored contractor.[27]"

"Government still paying G4S and Serco millions for tagging despite ban Alan Travis Home affairs editor 
Thursday 25 June 2015 00.01 BST 
The Ministry of Justice is still paying security firms G4S and Serco millions of pounds every month for supplying electronic tagging equipment, more than a year after both companies were barred from running the contract.
Both companies faced criminal investigations by the Serious Fraud Office over allegations of overcharging that led to them repaying nearly £180m. 

The continuing monthly payments to the two companies were uncovered by an analysis of Ministry of Justice (MoJ) data by the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies which shows that G4S was paid a total of £8.7m between March 2014 – when it lost the tagging contract – and February 2015. Serco was paid £4.5m over the same period.
 
The electronic monitoring tags are used to enforce curfews on more than 100,000 offenders each year. The outsourcing giant Capita took over the contract on an interim basis in April last year. 

In July 2014, Capita and three other companies were named as the winners of a £265m six-year contract to supply the next generation of satellite tracking tags, which would allow dangerous and repeat offenders to be monitored around the clock."
