Oh, yes, I am sure all the statements you make are absolutely necessary to support the concept, but other than you typing them out feverishly here on this forum in your daily, for pay capacity, what evidence do you have that it would be a "monumental task, requiring an army..."
None.
You are blowing smoke.
Gubment interferes with all kinds of data, all the goddamn time.
I have no idea who you're trying to zoom with this pablum you are typing out, but it ain't working.
They do not even bother posting fake real time data of FR24 for these supposed AU to SA flights, so the claim gubment cannot fake any of it, or even all of it, at the exact same time, is just nonsense.
I'm deeply flattered that you're accusing me of being a shill.
I'm not 100% clear what you mean by your last sentence there, but I think you're saying that, because there isn't complete data for oversea flights, the government is therefore capable of faking all the flights? Is that right? Because it makes no sense whatsoever. There's a very good reason why there isn't global coverage for FR24, and it's because the data goes direct from the aircraft to the ground stations, and hence has a limited range (I'll let you ponder why that may be...hint: it depends on the altitude of the aircraft), so if there aren't any ground stations, you won't get coverage. You can try to bake that into your conspiracy all you like, but it's an easily verifiable fact. Just buy your own gear and have a play. It's super simple - just a TV aerial and a usb stick, and you can just watch the raw data if you're really keen, or run it through some software, like FR24's, and watch it all on a map.
You've asked 'what evidence' for the number of people required to do the fakery. Well, I don't think 'evidence' is the right word, as I'm being asked to prove something that isn't happening, but I can certainly expand a bit on the reason, if you are indeed genuinely interested. It comes down to how much effort is required really. Lets' see:
- first up, let's make some assumptions. So the world is flat, and for reasons unknown, all the governments of the world are conspiring to suppress the information, and one way of doing that is to pretend that, instead of the direct FE route for all passenger flights, aircraft are actually following a RE track, based on the fake RE model of the planet. It would help enormously if you could tell me which FE map you're going for, and how far it is between the various continents, cities etc. No need to do all of them, of course. Just some examples, like the Addis - Sao Paulo route we were discussing earlier with Tom, who seems to have gone very quiet on the subject.
- now we need a mechanism. We've got to somehow simultaneously broadcast the wrong location for all of our aircraft on the ADS-B frequency, whilst at the same time making sure they don't hit each other...I guess we transmit a real and a fake signal? So we have to get all the avionics designers to build in a FE map and a RE map and make sure they transmit both. So all the avionics people are in on it...and what do we do about the pilots? Are they in on it too? Because if we're gonna fake it, we either need to bring them in on the scam or somehow convince them that all their great circle training (a key part of the ATPL exam) is actually real...but what happens if they look ou the front of the cockpit and see that they're flying over Seattle when they should be over LA according to RE? Best we bring them in on the conspiracy. All of them.
- or do we somehow broadcast some satellite (are we allowed those? I do see them wizzing by in the night sky, or are those just projections?) signal down that fakes the position of all the aircraft, at the right time, and with the right simulated range based on their altitude? So we'll need a team of people to monitor all the flights, globally, and make sure their planned and real positions are faked, in real time, just perfectly to align with our nefarious RE model. And every time a flight diverts, anywhere on the planet, we'll need to update the system quickly to make sure the mask doesn't slip. We'd have got away with too, if it wasn't for that pesky author and his book that this bloke quoted on some wiki.
- that would still give us a problem with the pilots, though, wouldn't it? Because they're all planning and flying great circles. So they must be in on it. Or not looking out the window.
Or you tell me? How would it all work? Who would be in on the conspiracy?
