1. Abel Danger (AD) claims that Serco operatives at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office have been assigning patent rights in Navy onion router (Tor) devices to senior civil servants engaged in ongoing misprision of treason in the office of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV).
2. AD claims that Serco's UK government shareholders have equipped Northrop Grumman Hawkeye surveillance aircraft on the FS Charles de Gaulle and the US Navy carrier fleet with Zulu timing devices to help 8(a) Tor user spot fix times of assassination or mass-casualty events.
3. AD is asking if patent lawyer Hillary Clinton authorized SECNAV civil servants to frag the Boeing 767 of EgyptAir Flight 990 on 31 October 1999 when SBA 8(a) companies allegedly crashed the plane in the sea about 60 miles (100 km) south of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.

"Q&A: key questions about EgyptAir flight MS804
The Airbus A320 carrying 66 people came down in the Mediterranean on Thursday
Do we know what happened to the plane?
The aircraft carrying 66 people was about 175 miles from the Egyptian coast when it disappeared, travelling at an altitude of 11,000 metres (37,000ft).
The plane had left Paris at 11.09pm on Wednesday (21.09 GMT/07.09am Thursday AEST) and disappeared at 2.30am Paris time, about 45 minutes before it was scheduled to land, and only 40 seconds after it left Greek airspace and entered Egyptian space over the Mediterranean.
Live EgyptAir flight MS804: body part, seats and suitcases found in water, says Greece - live
Egyptian military says debris from plane found in Mediterranean, after EgyptAir rowed back on announcement that wreckage had been spotted
The Greek defence minister, Panos Kammenos, said on Thursday that after entering Egyptian airspace the plane fell 6,706 metres (22,000ft) and swerved sharply before it disappeared from radar screens.
On Friday he said debris from the plane, including a "body part", two seats and suitcases, had been found by Egyptian vessels in the Mediterranean sea. Egypt's military said it had found personal belongings and parts of the wreckage 180 miles north of the coastal city of Alexandria.
Who was on board?
The plane was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew: two cockpit crew, five cabin crew and three security personnel. The airline said two babies and one child were on board.
The nationalities of the passengers were as follows: 30 Egyptians, 15 French citizens, two Iraqis and one person each from Britain, Belgium, Sudan, Chad, Canada, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Portugal and Algeria.
What kind of aircraft was it?
An Airbus A320, which is considered a safe and reliable plane. Nonetheless, the model has been involved in safety incidents in the recent past, including the Germanwings tragedy in March 2015 that claimed 150 lives. It was also the aircraft Chesley Sullenberger landed on the Hudson river in 2009.
EgyptAir said the captain had 6,275 flying hours, including 2,101 on the A320; the co-pilot had 2,766 flying hours. The plane was manufactured in 2003.
Airbus said it was aware of the report about the plane but otherwise made no comment.
Is there any suggestion of foul play?
Egypt's aviation minister, Sherif Fathy, has said the Airbus A320's sudden disappearance was more likely caused by a terrorist attack than technical failure. But the French foreign minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, said on Friday that there was "absolutely no indication" of why the flight came down.
The aircraft passed through airports in Tunisia and Eritrea in the four journeys it made on Wednesday before the Paris-Cairo flight, but no warning flags were raised. EgyptAir's vice-chairman, Ahmed Abdel, said there were "no reported snags" from the crew in Cairo or Paris, nor was there any special cargo or notification of dangerous goods on board.
The area of the Mediterranean where the plane went down is heavily trafficked and much monitored, within reach of British listening posts in Cyprus, close to Israel and near to the US Sixth Fleet.
What are the next steps to revealing the aircraft's fate?
An Egyptian army spokesman says searches are continuing in the area where the debris was found. The location is the centre of a major international air and sea operation to find the aircraft's two black box flight recorders, which might hold the key to what happened.
The water in that section of the Mediterranean can be 2,000 metres (6,500ft) deep. The equipment involved in the search for MH370 is able to search depths of at least 6,000 metres.
If the EgyptAir A320 is the same as the Germanwings model that crashed last year, it will have two recording components: a cockpit voice recorder, which tapes what the pilots say, and a flight data recorder, which stores some of the 2,500 technical measurements in a modern aircraft.
Both are stored at the back of the aircraft and wrapped in titanium or stainless steel, to best survive a crash. They are able to withstand one hour of 1,100C heat and weight of up to 227kg. The boxes can take years to be found – two years in the case of Air France flight 447, which disappeared in 2009 in the Atlantic.
What are authorities saying?
Greece’s lead air accident investigator, Athanasios Binis, said: "The most important thing is that the plane's two black boxes are found. If the cockpit flight recorder and flight data recorder are found, along with wreckage, then a real investigation can begin.
"There are three reasons for a plane [to go down]. Meteorological, technical and human. The first has now been ruled out because the weather was quite good. Whether a technical factor or human factor, either inside or outside the plane, is to blame remains to be seen. All possibilities are open."
François Hollande, the French president, said: "We have a duty to know everything about the cause and what has happened. No theory is ruled out and none is certain right now. "When we have the truth we will draw our conclusions; whether this was an accident or something else, perhaps terrorist. We will have the truth."
Panos Kammenos, the Greek defence minister, said: "The plane carried out a 90-degree turn to the left and a 360-degree turn to the right, falling from 37,000 to 15,000ft and the signal was lost at around 10,000ft."
The Egyptian prime minister, Sherif Ismail, said it was too early to rule out any explanation for the incident, including terrorism: “We cannot exclude anything at this time or confirm anything. All the search operations must be concluded so we can know the cause."
Serafeim Petrou, the head of Greece's air traffic controllers board, said: "The plane did not give any vocal or electronic signal before it disappeared,” adding that "nothing can be excluded" on causes: "An explosion could be a possibility but, then, so could damage to the fuselage. I think at this point we are talking about wreckage, wreckage at the bottom of the sea and tracing the cause is going to take time."
Jean-Paul Troadec, the ex-president of the French air accident investigation bureau, said "we have to remain very careful" about possible causes. “We can make certain hypotheses … there's a strong possibility of an explosion on board from a bomb or a suicide bomber. The idea of a technical accident, when weather conditions were good, seems also possible but not that likely. We could also consider a missile … If the crew didn’t send an alert signal, it's because what happened was very sudden. A problem with an engine or a technical fault would not produce an immediate accident. In this case, the crew did not react, which makes us think of a bomb."
The director of Greece's Civil Aviation Authority, Konstantinos Lintzerakos, said air traffic controllers were in contact with the pilot as the plane passed through Greek airspace, and that he did not report any problems. Controllers tried to make contact again with the pilot 10 miles before the flight exited the Greek flight information range, Lintzerakos added, but the pilot did not respond."
"EgyptAir Flight 990 (MS990/MSR990) was a regularly scheduled flight from Los Angeles International Airport, United States, to Cairo International Airport, Egypt, with a stop at John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City. On 31 October 1999, the Boeing 767 operating the route crashed into the Atlantic Ocean about 60 miles (100 km) south of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, killing all 217 people on board. The official "probable cause" of the crash was deliberate action by the relief first officer.[1][2]
As the crash occurred in international waters, the responsibility for investigating the accident fell to the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) per International Civil Aviation Organization Annex 13. As the ECAA lacked the resources of the much larger American National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Egyptian government asked the NTSB to handle the investigation. Two weeks after the crash, the NTSB proposed handing the investigation over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as the evidence suggested that a criminal act had taken place and that the crash was intentional rather than accidental. This proposal was unacceptable to the Egyptian authorities, and hence the NTSB continued to lead the investigation. As the evidence of a deliberate crash mounted, the Egyptian government reversed its earlier decision and the ECAA launched its own investigation. The two investigations came to very different conclusions: the NTSB found the crash was caused by deliberate action of the relief first officer Gameel Al-Batouti;[1] the ECAA found the crash was caused by mechanical failure of the aircraft's elevator control system.[3]
The Egyptian report suggested several control failure scenarios as possible causes of the crash, focusing on a possible failure of one of the right elevator's power control units.[3] While the NTSB's report did not determine a specific reason for the relief first officer's alleged actions, their report stated the impact was "a result of the relief first officer's flight control inputs".[1][4] Supporting its deliberate-act conclusion, the NTSB report determined that no mechanical failure scenario could result in aircraft movements that matched those recorded by the flight data recorder (FDR), and that even had any of the failure scenarios put forward by the Egyptian authorities occurred, the aircraft would still have been recoverable because of the 767's redundant elevator control system.[1]"

"The term fragging is used to describe the deliberate killing or attempted killing by a soldier of a fellow soldier, usually a superior officer or non-commissioned officer. The word was coined by military personnel of the United States during the Vietnam War, when such killings were most often attempted with a fragmentation grenade,[2] sometimes making it appear as though the killing was accidental or during combat with the enemy. The term fragging is now often used to encompass any means used to deliberately and directly cause the death of military colleagues. The high number of fragging incidents in the latter years of the Vietnam War were symptomatic of the unpopularity of the war with the American public and the breakdown of discipline in the U.S. Armed Forces. Documented and suspected fragging incidents totaled nearly nine hundred from 1969 to 1972. Fragging has not been as frequent since the Vietnam War ended."

CONTROLLED FRAGMENTATION 01F MULTI-WALLED WARI'IEADS
The invention herein described may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
This invention relates to explosive warheads; more specifically it relates to fragmentation warheads for antipersonnel use.
This application is similar to application Ser. No. 582,896, filed 4 May 1956, but goes beyond the scope of said application in applying the teachings thereof to multiwalled warhead casings.
Prior attempts at fragmentation control in impulsively loaded bodies such as warheads have generally involved the cutting of grooves on the surfaces, both inner and outer, of such bodies or the placing of plastic liners of predetermined shape between the inner surfaces of such bodies and the explosives contained therein. Such practices produced local regions of high stress which initiated points of fracture, but complete fragmentation control did not result therefrom.
As pointed out in the aforementioned application fragmentation is a function of wall thickness as well as the groove pattern. Applicants have discovered that further control of fragmentation may be attained by utilizing a plurality of walls in the warhead casing, by cutting grooves on the inner surface of each such wall, and by the orientation of the groove patterns so cut on the walls.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a method for closer control of the fragmentation of impulsively loaded bodies than the methods of the prior art.
Another object is to produce a greater number of lethal fragments from a given mass of metal through the elimination of very large fragments and very fine ones. Applicants believe that fragments ranging from one-half to 4 grams are the most lethal against personnel and light military equipment."

SBA modernizes to help feed its growing programs [Field McConnell's sister Kristine Marcy introduced the 8(a) electronic accelerated loan guarantee program at SBA to ensure funding for the Serco protégés' participating in the 9/11 carbon cap]
BY PATRICIA DAUKANTAS | GCN STAFF
Under a five-year plan for overhauling its information technology systems, the Small Business Administration recently acquired new software for financial and other administrative tasks.
By the time SBA celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2003, agency officials want all their programs up and running around the clock, chief financial officer Joseph Loddo said.
In the first phase of the modernization, the agency has upgraded systems for managing its extensive portfolio of guaranteed loans, chief operating officer Kristine Marcy said.
SBA processed its first electronic loan last November through its Sacramento, Calif., office and plans to add more private lenders during fiscal 2001.
The agency's staffing level has dropped 22 percent over the past eight years, which is another reason to improve IT, Marcy said. Over the past decade, SBA's portfolio of loans to small and disadvantaged businesses has more than doubled to $50 billion.
'We're a small agency with a huge portfolio,' Marcy said. SBA supplies more than half of the U.S. venture capital available each year.
Seventy percent to 80 percent of the loans are booked through a preferred lender program [structured by Serco], which involves nearly 7,000 banks, Marcy said. SBA guarantees the loans, just as the government backs student and housing loans.
'The financial and IT businesses were changing so rapidly, we had to make some changes to stay current with the private sector,' Marcy said. Banks had been asking SBA to make faster decisions on loan guarantees. The agency decided to aim for a turnaround time of one hour."
