Bridges, airplanes, and diversity exterminating competence: Analysis

The ship that collided this week with Baltimore’s Key Bridge, the MV Dali container vessel, also collided with a stone pier in Antwerp in 2016.

The Dali belongs to the Danish shipping giant Maersk, flies a Singapore flag, and is managed by the Synergy Marine Group, headed by Rajesh Unni. A 2016 investigation found the master and pilot on board at fault in the incident.

“Synergy Marine Group, the company tasked with managing the ship, appears to have prioritized diversity over competency,” said Modernity News head Paul Joseph Watson, “stating on its website that issues related to diversity are a high priority at Synergy.”

Watson denounced exotic interpretations of the collision, charging that beyond lacking evidence, they divert attention away from the true cause of many similar disasters that have occurred, and perhaps inevitably will continue with ever-greater frequency and severity.

“Check out the Maryland Port commission’s recent diversity hires,” Watson continued. “Karenthia A. Barber, an expert in ‘workforce training, coaching, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) audits and consulting,’ not port safety, then.

“And Sandy A. Roberts, a corporate lawyer who ‘generally knew some Marine law…’ Fills you with confidence, doesn’t it?”

Is diversity-driven incompetence indeed responsible for this and similar disasters?

A Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam Sunday was forced to turn back around when an engine pylon panel fell off during takeoff. Pylons are used to connect the engine to the wing and, according to Associated Press, this was the third time this year that a panel has fallen off a US jetliner.

Earlier this month approximately 50 passengers were injured on board a LATAM Airlines from Sydney to Auckland when a “technical event” caused the Boeing 787 to suddenly plunge mid-flight.

A week before, a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Mexico made an emergency landing due to a reported complete failure of one of the plane’s four hydraulic systems. Airplane hydraulic systems control the high-pressure fluid that helps operate some of the aircraft’s crucial functions, such as flight control and landing gear operation.

Earlier that day, 160 passengers aboard a United Airlines Boeing 737 flight in Houston had to be evacuated when the plane veered off the runway.

The day before, a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Japan was diverted to Los Angeles after one of the wheels fell off the plane. The wheel fell onto a parking lot and damaged several vehicles.

A few days before, United Flight 1118 was in the air less than 10 minutes before it had to turn around due to the engine catching fire. 

In January a cabin panel suddenly fell off an Alaska Airlines flight, causing a child to lose his shirt and forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing.

This sudden spate of technical issues is causing a fear of flying, according to a survey earlier this month by JW Surety Bonds. Forty-nine percent of Gen Z’ers are afraid to fly due to recent safety incidents and over four in ten Americans feel the same. Forty percent of Baby Boomers and 39% of Millennials are also now more anxious about taking to the skies.

While the cause behind the malfunctions is still unknown, they are drawing scrutiny for how they coincide with a climate proposal by C40 to get people to fly less.

C40 is an organization made up of nearly 100 mayors around the world who have committed to make their cities compliant with the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines. The C40 syndicate, which is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the UK government, Google, the World Bank, and many other globalist backers, includes the mayors of Washington, DC, Los Angeles, London, New York City, Paris, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Beijing, Tokyo, Cape Town, Barcelona, Dubai, Mumbai, and others.

In 2019 the C40 published a proposal for how leaders should engineer public behavior to “fight climate change.” These measures included reducing the consumption of clothing to 39% by 2030, which would mean that taxpayers purchase no more than eight new garments per year.

The C40 report also proposed limiting flights for the sake of the environment. As its “progressive target,” the proposal suggested each taxpayer be limited to one short-haul return flight of less than 1,500 km (932 miles) every two years. The “aggressive target” is every three years.

“[I]t is critical that large-scale behavioural changes occur as soon as possible, and that governments and businesses support a swift transition to more sustainable consumption through policy incentives and new business models,” said the report.

The C40 conglomerate also hopes to completely phase out private cars, along with meat and dairy consumption, by 2050.
