Top 10 World Modern Fighter Aircraft - 2010 The J-10 adopts a “tailless delta-canard” aerodynamic layout, which was originally developed for the cancelled J-9 fighter. The aircraft has the horizontal control surfaces moved forward to become a canard in front of the wing. When the aircraft pitches up, instead of forcing the tail down decreasing overall lift, the canard lifts the nose, increasing the overall lift. Because the canard is picking up the fresh air stream instead of the wake behind the main wing, the aircraft can achieve better control authority with a smaller-size control surface, thus resulting in less drag and less weight. The aircraft employs an adjustable, chin-mounted air intake that supplies air to the single Lyulka-Saturn AL-31FN afterburning turbofan jet engine. The tailless delta-canard configuration is inherently aerodynamically unstable, which provides a high level of agility, particularly at supersonic speeds. The pilot sits in the cockpit located above the air intake and in front of the canard. 9- Mig-35

Topics on the National Security State of America This set of materials focuses on how the ideals of America—that of being a civilian republic—were transformed during the 20th century into the national security state structure that began operating after World War II. This transformation resulted in the assassination politics that defined the 1960s and continues expanding its influence with each passing year. A useful definition of seven characteristics of a national security state from SourceWatch begins with, “The National Security State or Doctrine, generally refers to the ideology and institutions (CIA, Dept. of Defense) established by the National Security Act of 1947...”[1] The seminal event in the overt inauguration of our national security state was the assassination of the 35th President of the United States on 22 November 1963. “Plausible deniability” was sanctioned by the June 18, 1948, National Security Council directive NSC 10/2. A democracy within a national security state cannot survive. As he dedicates the book Notes

There are two things wrong with it. One, the street address is wrong and two, there was insufficient postage. There was no return address either. Discovered in the dead letter department of the Irving, Texas post office two weeks after the assassination, it was a package Oswald never saw or most likely never knew had been mailed to him. The framing of the guilty man? The Package ContentsThe package was discovered by C. The package was opened by Dallas Postmaster Harry Holmes, a controversial figure in the course of the investigation. So here we have a second paper bag. The Postage Due CardAs if all of this were not strange enough, on November 23, a post due card arrives at Ruth Paine’s address at 2515 W. 5th Street in Irving. So if you don’t want to believe in a conspiracy to kill John F. assassination
