1. Abel Danger (AD claims that shareholders in Serco – the world's largest air traffic controller – have been using insurance broker Marsh & McLennan to calculate pay outs due in death-betting and insurance claims after mass-casualty events linked to the engineered crashes of big jets.

2. AD claims that Serco's former SBA 8(a) protégé company Base One Technologies equipped patent lawyer Hillary Clinton with a home-based server to calculate the vigs due to the brokers, mentors and/or protégés who have participated in spot fixing deaths and times in big-jet events.

3. AD claims that Serco provided the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) with Zulu timing signals to synchronize news injects, media plays and big-jet frags of Marsh offices on floors 93-99 in the WTC North Tower on 9/11 and EgyptAir Flight MS804 on 19 May 2016.

4. United States Marine Field McConnell invites James Comey – FBI director and former director of Serco banker HSBC – to investigate Serco big-jet service to the death-pool insurance industry and Clinton's Small Business Administration server role in the fragging of Marsh and EgyptAir (http://www.abeldanger.net/2010/01/field-mcconnell-bio.htm).

"EgyptAir crash: Flight data points to 'internal explosion' on plane once daubed with graffiti saying 'We will bring this plane down' 
22 MAY 2016 • 7:54AM 
EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed with 56 passengers and 10 crew on board All passengers, including British geologist Richard Osman, feared dead 
Who are the victims? What we know so far 
'Smoke detected inside the aircraft cabin' 
Experts say flight data 'seems to point towards a bomb' 
Body parts and suitcases from the missing flight found 
EgyptAir flight MS804 disappears: everything we know 

Data from the final moments before EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean suggest an "internal explosion" tore through the right side of the aircraft, a pilot said last night.

Investigators trying to determine whether the A320 was brought down by terrorism or a technical fault are poring over a series of warnings indicating smoke filled the cabin shortly before it disappeared from radar.

French authorities confirmed that smoke detectors went off aboard the flight a few minutes before it crashed but said it was not clear what caused the smoke or fire.

A commercial pilot with a major European airline told The Telegraph that other parts of the data log suggested that windows in the right side of the cockpit were blown out by an explosion inside the aircraft.

"It looks like the right front and side window were blown out, most probably from inside out," said the pilot, who flies an A330 similar to the crashed A320 and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The data was taken from the plane's Acars system, which sends short transmissions from the aircraft to receivers on the ground. Until investigators find the aircraft's black boxes, which are still missing in the Mediterannean, the Acars offers the best sens on what was happening aboard.

Three different warnings showed there were faults in the windows next to the co-pilot, suggesting they could have been blasted outwards by an onboard bomb. That does not mean the explosion came from the cockpit but indicates the right side of the plane was more badly damaged than the left.

The pilot suggested the smoke detectors may have been triggered not fire but by fog which filled the cabin as it lost air pressure in the moments after the explosion.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian military released images of shoes, handbags and other forlorn items pulled out of the sea near the crash site. Video footage showed unused life vests and torn up parts of seats scattered across the deck of an Egyptian naval ship.

French and Egyptian ships are focused on trying to recover the black boxes, which would reveal what said in the cockpit before the plane crashed.

Although no terrorist group has claimed responsibility, French detectives are examining a pool of around 85,000 people with "red badge" security clearance that gives them access to restricted areas of Charles de Gaulle airport.

The task is complicated by the fact that many work for sub-contractors and turnover is high. Screenings are often limited to checking an employee has no criminal convictions and does not appear on a terror watch list.

Last December around 70 red badges were withdrawn from staff at Charles de Gaulle who were found to have praised the attacks in Paris, prayed at mosques linked to radicalism or showing signs of growing religiosity like refusing to shake hands with women."

"EgyptAir Flight 804 (MS804/MSR804)[a] was a scheduled international passenger flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Cairo International Airport, operated by EgyptAir, which crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on 19 May 2016 at 02:30 Egypt Standard Time (UTC+2).

Smoke or condensation was detected in one of the aircraft's lavatories and in the avionics bay shortly before its radical course change and rapid descent, eventually disappearing from radar. No mayday or emergency call was received by air traffic control. Experts are investigating the cause of the disaster.

There were 66 people on board: 56 passengers, 7 aircrew, and 3 security personnel. A multinational search and recovery operation is under way. Wreckage from the aircraft was found in the Mediterranean Sea approximately 290 km (180 mi) north of Alexandria, Egypt."

AP Published: October 28, 1984 
CAIRO, Oct. 27— The Egyptian Navy and the United States Sixth Fleet will hold joint maneuvers in the Mediterranean from Nov. 5 to 7, Egypt's official press agency quoted the Defense Minister as having said today.

The exercise, named ''Sea Breeze,'' will involve 17 United States vessels, including aircraft carriers, and will consist of a simulated ''intensive attack'' on Egypt by air and naval forces, including F-14 and F-15 fighter-bombers, Defense Minister Abdel Halim Abu Ghazala told the Middle East News Agency.

United States-built E-2C early warning aircraft will participate in the exercise, the first time the planes have flown in Egypt, Mr. Abu Ghazala said, according to the press agency account.

Egypt and the United States have conducted joint military maneuvers three times since 1980."

"Preparing the 8(a) application package
You do not need to pay anyone to prepare your 8(a) application. SBA designed the application forms so the applicant can complete the application. However, a consultant can assist in completing the application. Please be advised that no one can guarantee that an application for 8(a) program participation will be approved. The application process is intended to assure that each applicant receives a fair, unbiased review, free from favoritism and influence. Any irregularities in the application review process should be immediately referred to the SBA Inspector General.

Definition of Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals

Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identities as members of groups without regard to their individual qualities. The social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the following individuals are presumed to be socially disadvantaged:

Black Americans; Hispanic Americans (persons with origins from Latin America, South America, Portugal and Spain); Native Americans (American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and Native Hawaiians); Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa, Guam, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands [Republic of Palau], Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Laos, Cambodia [Kampuchea], Taiwan, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Macao, Hong Kong, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru); Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal); And members of other groups designated from time to time by the SBA.

In addition, an individual who is not a member of one of the above-named groups may apply for 8(a) certification. However, the applicant must establish social disadvantage on the basis of clear and convincing evidence.

Economically disadvantaged individuals are socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities, as compared to others in the same or similar line of business and competitive market area who are not socially disadvantaged. For purposes of program entry, an individual whose personal net worth (excluding the equity in their personal residence and business) exceeds $250,000 will not be considered economically disadvantaged.


Woman-Owned Businesses [Obama's structural feminists]

A woman-owned business may be recognized as a "socially disadvantaged firm" if the owner is a member of one of the groups for which social disadvantage is presumed. If the woman is not a member of one of the groups for which social disadvantage is presumed, she must establish her individual disadvantage on the basis of clear and convincing evidence that she has suffered discriminatory treatment because of her gender and that this treatment has impeded her entry into or advancement in the business world. SBA will consider any pertinent evidence but will give particular attention to evidence of discriminatory practices suffered in the areas of education, employment and the business world." 


"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."

"Origins of the Bilderberg meetings .. The immediate chain of events leading to the setting up of the first conference was as follows. Prince Bernhard set off for the USA in 1952 to visit his old friend Walter Bedell Smith, director of the newly-formed CIA. Smith put the organisation of the American end into the hands of Charles D. Jackson (special assistant for psychological warfare to the US President), who appointed John S. Coleman (president of the Burroughs Corporation. and a member of the Committee for a National Trade Policy), who in turn briefly became US chair of Bilderberg.

Charles Jackson was president of the Committee for a Free Europe (forerunner of the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) whose extensive operations financing and organising anti-Communist social democratic political intellectuals has only recently been fully documented (see Coleman 1989); and ran the CIA-financed Radio Free Europe in Germany. Earlier he had been publisher of Fortune magazine and managing director of Time/Life, and during the war was deputy head of psychological warfare for Eisenhower. At the time of Bernhard's visit he was working with a committee of businessmen on both sides of the Atlantic which approved the European Payments Union.

It was thus a European initiative, and its aim was, in official bland language, to 'strengthen links' between Western Europe and the USA. A selected list of people to be invited to the first conference was drawn up by Retinger, with Prince Bernhard and Rijkens, from the European countries of NATO plus Sweden. The resulting group consisted of the Belgian and Italian prime ministers, Paul van Zeeland and Alcide de Gasperi (CDU), from France both the right wing prime minister Antoine Pinay and the Socialist leader Guy Mollet; diplomats like Pietro Quaroni of Italy and Panavotis Pipinelis of Greece; top German corporate lawyer Rudolf Miller and the industrialist Otto Wolff von Amerongen and the Danish foreign minister Ole Bjorn Kraft (publisher of Denmark's top daily newspaper); and from England came Denis Healey and Hugh Gaitskell from the Labour Party, Robert Boothby from the Conservative Party, Sir Oliver Franks from the British state, and Sir Colin Gubbins, who had headed the Special Operations Executive (SOL) during the war [and introduced the 8(a) Zulu bomb to the Billderberg]"

"Loan Improvement 

Jan 31, 2001 
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."
