– as footage emerges of him boasting of previous ‘invulnerable’ sub designed to explore ‘unsinkable’ Titanic
- Stockton Rush, 61, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions once said he refused to hire ’50-year-old white guys’ because they are not ‘inspirational’
- In another interview, he insisted that his Cyclops submersible was ‘invulnerable’
- Rush is now missing onboard that vessel, which OceanGate refused to put through independent testing

The now-missing CEO of a company that takes passengers onboard a submersible to see the site of the Titanic wreckage once told how he refused to hire ’50-year-old white guys’ with military expertise because they are not ‘inspirational.’

Stockton Rush added in that interview with Teledyne Marine that expertise is not necessary because ‘anybody can drive the sub’ with just a $30 video game controller.
In another interview, Rush insisted the Cyclops vessel he designed before the doomed Titan was ‘invulnerable,’ saying he was willing to ‘put my money where my mouth is.’
Rush, the 61-year-old CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, is now missing onboard his Titan ship along with four other passengers, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, French Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet and Shahzada Dawood, a UK-based board member of the Prince’s Trust charity, along with his son Sulaiman Dawood.
The vessel had not been heard from since early Sunday morning, and officials fear those on board now have less than a day of oxygen left.
It has since been revealed that OceanGate refused to put the Titan through independent testing and fired a director who asked for more rigorous safety testing.

Stockton Rush should be charged with murder then and spend the rest of his sorry woke life behind bars.
Technology is the White Man
The NM faultline runs underwater from the Seaway out to the tri-plate junction at the Azores were the Atlanteans seem to have placed a pyramid to prevent something .. that happened anyway .. The Titanic happens to be on that ridge. These faultlines move daily. Dangerous times to go visit a clapping faultline, especially with a gigantic wreck on it.
I wonder if he hopes 50-year old white guys might save him?
The day before the news reached us about the lost submersible, Titan, I had watched the film, “Kursk,” a dramatization of the disastrous, accidental, sinking of the Russian nuclear-powered submarine, Kursk, in August 2000.
It was a difficult film to watch. Not because it wasn’t a good film; with high production values, excellent acting and biting dialogue but because there’s little point in investing hope in the outstanding heroics of 23 men, who survived for a week in a single chamber of the ship; constantly having to drain water, pump air, put out fires, attend to injuries, while dealing with hunger and hypothermia, when you already know, unfortunately, that there were no survivors among the crew of the good ship, Kursk.
The British/ Norwegian rescue mission, which Putin had originally refused to sanction, arrived just hours too late. All 115 men on board died.
As someone who was born and brought up on a briny coastline, with friends and relatives, who are professional fishermen or merchant seamen, I know very well that Poseidon is a potentate that you do not sport with frivolously.
I pray that the passengers and pilot of the Titan survive.
There is a high price to pay for taking the sea for granted.
I sincerely hope that price will not be paid.
Should it be so then at least they will not be alone in Davey Jones’ Locker.
Well, guess he was a rich know all Frippert and he’ll be joining Titanic at the bottom too..;
As a 50 year old “white guy,” I am grateful I continue to exist while you rot on the ocean floor.
The reality is that they are dead and nothing can be done for them.
I hope the level of ignorance shown in this case is as sign of things to come for the UN,WEF,WHO and BIS etc.
No matter how rich you are you can’t tame mother nature.
Maybe Cthulhu got him.
Hey Maty,
You forgot to mention those NATO brain dead dinosaurs and those Washington brain dead dinosaurs.
Fake launch….they never even went down…It is a psy-op which will scare and ban future exploration of THE OLYMPIC.
How do we know if this is real?
All the world is a stage.
The first thing I thought was that Biden – who’s admin is a never ending raging dumpster fire – needs a distraction. Most people would not believe that the government would kill innocent people just to take the heat off of them.
Like that Russian gas pipeline – no one knows what is really going on down there.
Same for the moon landing. How do you know they went to the moon? You do not know and can not know until someone outside of NASA takes photos of the Apollo landing sites, and even then you can’t be sure.
So hating and discriminating against white people killed him. That’s real justice.
I can’t understand why they didn’t have a support vessel nearby ready to bring the sub back to the surface!
andyay–I twice listened to MrBallen’s account of the Kursk and its crew, and I keep reading about the Titanic and the Titan with their supernatural aspect. Ships can be ghosts just as people can, and this period is a little haunting by the Titanic again. I postpone checking to see whether the five in the submersible survived
Have you checked the Internet for all reporting on this topic?
When this many MSM News Organs, along with some “Alt News” outlets are pushing this story,
I see a big red flag going up.
The question then becomes “What are they trying to distract us from?”
Hunter Biden’s Indictment perhaps?
There are too many questions.
Considering the depths to be plumbed, how come the submersible has NO lights?

Stockton Rush {sic).
..wouldn’t employ stale pale white guys ..like himself.. because he undoubtedly got more kick backs from Big Government and rich investors to employ illiterate third worlders with absolutely no experience..
..than experienced reliable ‘white’ ex naval men.. with their sage advice..
..instead he opted for oodles of grants and AA cash on which to ahem..’float’ his hair brained schemes..
He was however more than happy to take pale stale ‘whiteys’ cash in eye watering amounts.. for dodgy dangerous unorganised trips to davey jones locker…
.. and steer them to a watery grave with his PS2 controller… in his badly designed and cheaply constructed contraption..
He even had the foresight to fill it with ‘billionaires’ and skipper it himself…
Well done Stockton…well done… how very egalitarian of you..
.. you were indeed an imbecile of truly epic proportion…one who went ‘down’ with his ship…
Bravo..
Look at the face of this dumb schmuck..
A debris field has been found in the area this submersible was believed to be lost so it’s not looking good. I was surprised to learn the sub was a composite of several materials including carbon fibre. That is strong, light material with many modern applications but it should never have replaced steel in this construction. You might get away with it three miles high but at three miles deep they should never have tried it.
0 phucks given.
“Titan” was the name of a ship in a novel that magically or with insider knowledge pre-figured all the real events of the Titanic. In this case, the ghost of the Titanic may have appeared before instead of after its reality
