Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Sept 3, 2025
n Monday morning it was widely reported that a private jet ferrying Ursula Von Der Leyen to Plovdiv in Bulgaria was subject to “GPS interference”, and had to navigate using paper charts for the final part its journey.
This was quickly blamed on Russia, a supposed attempt to assassinate, or at least intimidate the EU chief, and the reactions kicked into high-gear almost instantly.
The Financial Times lead the pack, headlining [emphasis added]:
Ursula von der Leyen’s plane hit by suspected Russian GPS interference
ABC news went with [more emphasis added]:
EU head Ursula von der Leyen’s plane hit by suspected Russian GPS interference
The BBC mixed it up a little [even more emphasis added]:
EU chief von der Leyen’s plane hit by SUSPECTED Russian GPS jamming
Are you seeing a pattern?
Elsewhere, the AP claims to have got all the information you need, adding that it’s so completely definitely true that there isn’t even any point in investigating it:
Bulgaria will not investigate suspected Russian electronic interference with a top European official’s plane, officials said Monday — because this kind of GPS jamming is now so common.
Having established it definitely happened, Sky News turned to analysis:
Russia responds to GPS jamming accusations – but such instances are expected to escalate
Euro News is at full blown panic stations:
What can Europe do to better defend against GPS interference from Russia?
The good news is that NATO are going to save us, according to the Independent:
NATO says it is working to counter Russia’s GPS jamming after EU leader’s plane incident
The Conversation is asking the big question, hinting at the grander agenda behind the story:
Russia’s GPS interference: do I need to worry when flying?
Got that everyone? Flying is scary. Putin might kill you. Probably safer to just stay at home.
The counterpoint, appearing in comments sections all across social media, was that the alleged attack was likely a false flag, carried out by Ukraine or NATO.
However, somewhat lost in the tug-of-war assigning blame was this simple fact: There was no evidence any “GPS inteference” had ever happened.
The website FlightRadar24 monitors air traffic GPS and telemetry data for flights all over the world, and within a few minutes responded to this assertion with the following tweet:
We are seeing media reports of GPS interference affecting the plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Some reports claim that the aircraft was in a holding pattern for 1 hour.
This is what we can deduce from our data.

According to their data, far from being an hour late (as some stories reported), the flight was delayed by only nine minutes, which is pretty standard in terms of air travel. And the data shows it maintained transponder signal throughout its journey.
In short, there’s nothing in the data to say the flight was anything but completely ordinary.
The media are clearly aware of this apparent contradiction, accounting for its “peculiarity” in their version of the narrative. In their follow up article, earlier today, the Financial Times notes:
unusually, the transponder onboard von der Leyen’s plane appears to have been able to establish the plane’s position and broadcast it throughout the incident.
The aircraft’s location was reported accurately and continuously on flight tracking websites because its so-called Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) system appeared to be unaffected.
Which is essentially an admission that the data makes it appear the “GPS interference” never actually happened.
In fact, we have no confirmation anything happened at all. It’s just a story, and people on both sides ran with the underlying assumption before it was properly established.
What can we learn from this story? Always. Question. Everything.
An old lesson that always bears repeating.

Rachel Reeves set to ‘tax living daylights’ out of Brits as Mel Stride issues warning
Story by Steph Spyro •
Labour has a huge financial hole to fill with its migrant bill, will “tax the living daylights out of your family’s future”, shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride has claimed. Opening the Conservatives’ opposition day debate, Sir Mel insisted “nothing is safe from the tax man” under this Labour Government.
( as if they were any better )
Challenging the Government to rule out new property taxes, he insisted that MPs and the public “deserve answers” about the Chancellor’s plans after a “cruel summer of speculation”. Sir Mel said: “The Chancellor cannot borrow more and has shown no ability to control spending or the migration problem
Since it was her plane, one can only conclude that witchcraft was involved. Fortunately, a boatload of witch doctors have arrived, and know exactly how to treat.
Somebody pointed out with GPS you couldn’t make it interfere with just one plane, it would interfere with all GPS instruments in the region such as car navigation GPS. None have been reported.
Hmm. Western media are SUSPECTED of engaging in a psyop!
Putin please help to liberate us from this corrupt bitch !
or send us arms, so we can do it ourself !
another false flag….
” What we can learn from the “Russian GPS interference” story.”
Nothing!
It came from Meanstream Media so the story is garbage and the shitheads on TV should be addressed and treated as the trash they are.
LOL..
Yes that’s right kit..it was bullshit..a contrived story to further a nonsense agenda.. they all are..nothing is real..it’s all fucking fake..this is how the pointless imbeciles in governance manage their ‘consumers’..the herd.. the zombiefied masses.. with a steady stream of mental diarrhea.. shat forth from the media orifice…
shocking isn’t it?..
That’s it? That wicked cunt couldn’t tune in to her favorite satellite feed of some poor kids being raped and strangled by some drooling yids? What Ursula Alvays Lying really deserved was to be set upon by the flight crew, have the ever living piss beaten out of her, her teeth ripped out with a set of pliers, her repulsive face shoved in the toilet and given a few swirlies, descend to 300 feet and dangle the shit stain upside down by her ankles out of the door for a hundred miles before dropping her off in Kiev with her mouth and asshole duct-taped wide open.
BANK CLOSURES
Lloyds to warn 3,000 staff they face sack for ‘underperformance’
Story by Kalyeena Makortoff Banking correspondent Lloyds Banking Group is to warn 3,000 staff that they are at risk of being sacked for underperformance, as part of a management overhaul led by the chief executive, Charlie Nunn.
The bank began telling managers over the summer that they would have to rank staff performance, with about 5% of Lloyds’ 63,000-strong workforce due to be put on performance plans that would put jobs at risk unless workers notably improved.
Be warned to expect the closure of all banks as the economy collapses
