Das Schwerste ist, sich durchzuringen, zu #handeln. Der Rest ist dann nur noch #Hartnäckigkeit.

Im letzten Jahr sah es fast so aus, als sei eines der größten Rätsel der Luftfahrt gelöst: Ein Forschungsteam meinte, auf Sonarbildern der Tiefsee das Flugzeugwrack der Flugpionierin Amilia Earhart gefunden zu haben.
Jetzt stellte sich heraus: Es war nur eine Felsformation.

Timothy Mellon,
a wealthy banking heir and railroad magnate, has reached the stratosphere of American political influence as
the top supporter of Donald J. Trump, doling out millions to try to elect the former president and his allies.To his neighbors in a Rhode Island beachfront enclave, he is better known as the prime suspect in the Narragansett Runestone Affair.
A hulking boulder once positioned just offshore in Narragansett Bay, the runestone bears inscriptions that some believe were left by Viking explorers. It was the stuff of local lore and attracted visitors at low tide
— to the consternation of Mr. Mellon, the pedigreed businessman whose home looked out on the rock.And then one day it was gone.
A criminal investigation yielded a witness who had heard sounds of heavy machinery at night.
Mr. Mellon refused to talk and hired a former state attorney general as his lawyer.Nearly a year later, the matter was resolved quietly:
Mr. Mellon agreed to return the stone, and prosecutors agreed not to bring charges.
The episode was a rare glimpse into the private life and the public dealings of Mr. Mellon, 81, a reclusive heir and railroad magnate who has recently turned himself into a political force.
He has surprised even political insiders with the size of his contributions this year,
throwing♦️ $75 million behind Mr. Trump’s attempt to return to the White House
and an additional ♦️$25 million toward Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential run,
making him both candidates’ single largest benefactor.All told, he has given♦️ $227 million in contributions to federal candidates and political committees since 2020,
nearly all to Republicans
— a sum that puts him in the top echelon of the party’s donors,
alongside far better-known megadonors like Miriam #Adelson and her husband, Sheldon, who died in 2021, and Liz and Dick #Uihlein.Yet for all his financial influence, Mr. Mellon and his interests
— and what exactly is motivating his largess — have remained largely a mystery.Interviews with his associates, along with a review of court documents and other public records, reveal
an ideologically driven conservative with a combative streak.Mr. Mellon spent most of his life leveraging his family fortune to create his own.
His freight railroad, a regional line that 🔸repeatedly ran afoul of worker and environmental protections,🔸 was recently sold for $600 million.Over time, Mr. Mellon’s politics shifted far to the right.
In the 1970s, his charitable giving supported feminist and ecological causes and Native Americans.By 2014, he was posting comments in an online chat room
🔹comparing climate-change scientists to ISIS 🔹and worrying that terrorists could attack America using “donkeys coming over our Southern border.”
Most recently, he became a significant donor to Mr. Kennedy’s 🔹anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense.
In an interview, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Mellon’s contribution had come during the height of the Covid pandemic and appeared to be motivated by a shared concern over government lockdowns and🔹 “suppressing constitutional rights.”Mr. Kennedy, who said he had met Mr. Mellon only twice, described him as “intensely curious, skeptical towards orthodoxies and passionate about personal freedoms.”
(He added that Mr. Mellon takes long cross-country drives alone “to talk to ordinary Americans” and has a fascination with Scandinavia.)Mr. Trump’s campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Mr. Mellon rarely engages with the news media and did not respond to interview requests.
Even some of the candidates who accept his checks have little contact with him.The most detailed accounting of his life comes largely from two sources:
an autobiography Mr. Mellon first published in 2014 and the paper trail he has left in court.He has frequently become mired in disputes, some of them oddly small-bore and some just odd.
In May — the same month he made a $50 million donation to support Mr. Trump — he filed a lawsuit against a family-owned car dealership in Connecticut, complaining that he had spent $7,300 on a failed engine replacement for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Years ago, he sued a group of explorers he had helped finance,
claiming they had deliberately overlooked the wreckage of #Amelia #Earhart’s long-lost plane so they could keep raising money for their expeditions.Mr. Mellon was convinced he had seen Earhart’s head on the seafloor in a cellophane bag.
He lost the case, appealed, and lost again.
Testifying in a 2014 civil case, he estimated he had undergone depositions “15 to 20” times in his life and could not recall how many lawsuits he was involved in.

The disappearance of famed aviator #AmeliaEarhart in 1937 during her round-the-world attempt has inspired plenty of discoveries and dead ends over the decades. Will this lead to the end of the mystery, or just another dead end? https://cosmiclog.com/2024/01/29/image-revives-hopes-of-solving-amelia-earhart-mystery/ #Earhart #DeepSeaVision

There is a chance that Amelia Earhart's Electra may have been found.
With all due respect to here as an aviation pioneer, I believe that a big part of Earhart's disappearance was because she didn't understand how to use her radios well enough.
For example, she kept switching frequencies and would not transmit long enough for the Itaska to get a directional fix.

About three years ago, I pulled up some carpeting and linoleum in a backroom pantry in my 100-year old house and found a pristine, color Sunday Chicago Tribune from 1937.
One of the headlines: Amelia Earhart Still Missing.
