Hello Michael.

God bless you and all you and Masako continue to do for the Cause.

I've got an unrelated question for you. I saw this post this morning about masked ICE agents snatching innocent people and lumping them together with the criminal illegals. Please debunk if you are able!

Regarding my note a few posts above, I see that you indeed have a one-time donation feature. Thanks

Michael,

I’m still upset with you. Not because you dislike Trump, but because you didn’t tell us WHY.

I’m going back to being a paid subscriber because I believe in what you’re doing. We are all patriots & need to support each other.

I didn’t check to see if people can send one-time contributions. It would be advisable to set that up so people can donate when they want, or give how much they want.

Thanks for all you do.

USSOUTHCOM & The Navy’s Panamanian “Operation Windward Stack”. Two parts to C4ISR. Michael, you are correct that something is developing. Donated again. You and Masako stay safe and thank you.

You might also delegate to have a second Twitter account where volunteers, for you can upload vertical videos as your practice today of diverting people from x.com Twitter to see your Substack video leaves us with this problem of tiny little videos on a Substack screen

In other words, you might seek in-kind donations of tech help, and Kiki nerd support among your fans. In addition to financial renumeration for your gracious time and risk of your well-being. Thank you. Have a good day.

In this way, you might occasionally drop a note seeking such tech help below your email signature or other common or closings. Surely there are leagues of people who would like to help you gain more reach on social networks in this way.

Gab.com is back up awake and alive with streaming vertical video scrolls available in feed similar tox.com Twitter and Facebook

Minds.com is comparatively dormant IMHO

OK now I see your video is primarily horizontal with a vertical lead in OK my next problem is my iPhone 14+ does not well start over my experience of Substack is on my iPhone 14+ where Substack does not respond to myself turning my iPhone horizontal. Therefore I assume this lack of function is on Substack, and as I can turn my phone horizontally on every other app and browser to see a larger horizontal video.

I am curious if this will ever change on Substack

Meanwhile, you might make horizontal videos for Substack while you might also, make vertical videos for x.com, Twitter etc? These are all just thoughts to entertain for future tech, while good fortune comes your way from your loving audience. Thank you for your excellent great work and continued service to our nation.

Michael, I've been an auto-donor to Burning Edge for a long time, and I just got a paid Substack subscription. I'm on a modest retirement income. I'll see if I can move some things around. I pretty much maxed out helping the N. Carolina folks over winter.

Very interesting as I worked on a similar project that was floating stationary not floating free! Pretty much did the same thing these platforms do so I'm wondering if they're using some of that same software we developed!

Vertical format videos are supported in Substack short form notes.

Vertical format videos will not display fullscreen in long form Substack content.

This is my belief on this day. As I just viewed a full screen vertical video Substack on my iPhone 14+ scrolling the home feed of Substack,

which I only just discovered yesterday where in Substack and gab.com have joined the functionality I have used on x.com Twitter and previously on Facebook to scroll feed vertically for videos

Gab.com is alive and well whereasmines.com is still dormant although Stefan Molyneux is there on minds.com

Substack only plays horizontal videos in longform format posts on my iPhone, 14+ Apple.

I will try to take a peek at the note format to see if that entertains vertical format videos more data needed open to feedback. Thanks.

Meanwhile, my advice would be to only use horizontal video if you’re going to post in long format.

Let’s see what’s possible on notes format for form and or if there are other ways to see your video expanded full screen as so far that is not possible for me on my iPhone in any long form Substack

Hmm!! I agree with your perspective! May I ask the natural meds you use? And do you have AFIB? Just a question.

China agreed uck! I see India provides the same medicine. Now if they mfg the drug I don’t know. Or is India a third party so to speak

US Navy, buoyant, wind sail, autonomous spy surveillance drone

SpyDrone voyager surveyor and 3rd model configuration

with thermal imaging camera, able to monitor infrared signals on surface of ocean, both sides of Panama, gulf and Pacific. Possible uses are sensing foreign state actors naval vessels, including but not limited to Soviet oops Russia China North Korea, as well as drug interdiction similar to Coast Guard activities monitoring buoyant surface or submerged craft with periscope or air intake protruding from water

US Coast Guard is the seventh largest Air Force on earth using MANY platforms to intercept drug flow from south to north including but not limited to helicopters with 50 caliber machine guns to straight gunfire in front of an over bows of ships as warning signals which unheated lead to shooting out engine of speedboat With 50 caliber gunfire rounds

These helicopter interceptions, are often a result of intelligence from Awel autonomous, spy, surveillance drones, such as videoed here

Interceptions also result from land-based radar as well as air, radar, infrared, visible, and other detection systems from airborne platforms, including but not limited to a

AWACS advanced warning, and control system?

P8 Poseidon subhunter aircraft replaces previous P3, Orion sub, hunter aircraft, utilizing sonobuoys drop ed from approximately 100 tubes in belly of fuselage

So this is finally our US navy getting in the action? It's about time!!!

According to other comments, one comment or complained this was a cheap Australian aluminum hole company providing the hardware. I believe by the paint job and the 2006 number this craft is currently employed by US Navy.

Although from my other readings, Coast Guard also employees such craft

A third possibility is this craft could be operated by numerous other agencies of alphabet soup or

badge and gun agencies

DEA often works in tandem with Coast Guard and that could possibly explain what the craft is doing in Panama although because Michael YON took the video of this craft. I am once again leaning more towards Navy other surveillance, more centrally or pertaining to Panama Canal and or more relevant geopolitical and migration issues .

I could not possibly list all the interests such a surveillance vehicle could have, for example submarines from foreign actors such as China, Russia, North Korea, etc.
