THE COLD WAR isn't over for Anatoly Golitsyn.
Since last summer's failed coup in Moscow, he has been churning out memos for the CIA, warning them of what he regards as the true import of the tumultuous events taking place in the former Soviet Union.
It is all "pretense," he says -- an elaborate exercise in strategic deception, designed to gull the West into embracing what is still an evil empire, still run behind the scenes by communist ideologues. Mikhail Gorbachev is in on the scheme. And so, too, says Golitsyn, is Boris Yeltsin.
"At the end, when they win," Golitsyn declares, "they {will} get rid of capitalists forever."
Golitsyn, you may remember, is the KGB defector whose assertions about Soviet moles at Langley once threw the CIA into a turmoil. The great mole hunt, actively pursued by the late CIA counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton, Golitsyn's indefatigable sponsor, lasted more than a decade, but never unearthed a single mole at the agency. According to the recently published "Cold Warrior" by Tom Mangold, a detailed study of Angleton's work, Golitsyn was actually a "minor and undistinguished KGB officer" whose paranoid fingerpointing ruined the careers of many of the CIA's finest officers and blackened the credentials of genuine Soviet defectors who threatened his standing.

THE COLD WAR isn't over for Anatoly Golitsyn.
Everything is over for Golitsyn. He died 10 years ago.
Spymaster: The Life of Britain's Most Decorated Cold War Spy and Head of MI6, Sir Maurice Oldfield, Transworld Publishers (May 1, 2018)
By Martin Pearce
[Excerpt]
It's easy to see why Angleton became intoxicated with Golitsyn and his theories, and equally easy to see why the official historian of MI5, Professor Christopher Andrew, was to describe him as 'an unreliable conspiracy theorist'. Golitsyn began by confirming the identities of two Soviet spies the CIA and M16 had known of but whose activities they had never been able to prove legally, and who were already safely in Russia: Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean. He then gave details of some spies who had not been unmasked, including the Briton John Vassall and a Russian double agent who had operated mostly in Germany named Aleksander Kopatzky. Vassall. a relatively low-level official at the Foreign Office. was later arrested, convicted and jailed. The case against Kopatzky was unproven and after a brief period seeking refuge in the Russian Consulate he braved it out and lived peacefully in Virginia for the rest of his days. Golitsyn also gave enough clues for the authorities, at last, to unmask Kim Philby — a spy who, having been effectively neutered a decade earlier, had arguably outlived his usefulness to the Soviets.For Oldfield, the most relevant of the traitors was the largely anonymous Vassall.

TRUMP'S 'ART OF THE DEAL' GHOSTWRITER TONY SCHWARTZ SAYS 'PUTIN OWNS TRUMP'
“So the Russians pursued Trump as an asset as early as mid-80s,” Schwartz tweeted this month after a story was published about Trump’s 1987 trip to Moscow hosted by the KGB’s travel agency. “His deep compromising connection with a sworn enemy is going to unravel soon in ways that boggle the mind,” he wrote.https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-art-deal-ghostwriter-tony-schwartz- says-putin-owns-trump-725615

How you coming along with that Average Velocity for the 75 foot segment ending at 1950 ft?It came along quite well. Anything that travels 1950 feet in 1.06 seconds travels an average velocity of 2122.64 feet per second. The formula is distance divided by time.
How are you coming along with your bullet going splat at ~520 feet ground distance from Mandalay Bay?
How did you work out that negative 33º angle?
Side a represents the vertical height of Paddock's vantage point. At the 32nd floor, and at 10.9 feet per floor, (32-1) x 10.9 = 338 feet.
The VxH specified shooting angle was -33°. This should probably be expressed as a positive angle of declination. Not all ballistic calculators will even accept a negative angle value, but specify 0 to 90 degrees.
For another calculator, see:
http://gundata.org/blog/post/223-ballistics-chart/
It appears that VxH drew an imaginary horizontal line d at a vertical height of 338 feet from the ground, and an imaginary 338 foot line e down to the ground, bringing into view a rectangle with a mirror image triangle to that above.
VxH guessed 33º as the acute angle formed at the junction of sides c and imaginary side d at point B. VxH guessed very wrongly.
With a specified shooting angle of 33º at the junction of lines c and d, the angle made by sides c and b would also be 33º, and angle ß, made by sides a and c would be 57º. (The right angle at point A is 90º. The other two angles must add up to 90º.)
With side a being 338 feet, side b would be 520.4743578 feet, and side c would be 620.5944 feet.
As may be seen, disregarding gravity, if the bullet flew downward at the specified 33º from a height of 338 feet, it would fly a straight line of sight path into the ground at ~520 feet from the Mandalay Bay at ground level.
Calculating the bullet velocity after that point may be difficult, even with secret Klingon math.

Damn, you are more screwed up than I thought.
Now you are presenting a triangle with side a being 338 feet, side b being 1290 feet 7 inches (1290.5833 ft), and an hypotenuse of 1009 ft 4 in. I positively can't remember the last triangle I saw where the hypotenuse was shorter than one of the sides. Your Klingon math is magic, and Google Sketchup is a miracle worker.
If side a is 338 ft, and the angle of elevation of 14.7º rises to that height of 338 ft, side b will be 1264.283557 feet. So, the hypotenuse is impossible, and side b is whack by 26 feet.
If the angle of elevation is 14.7 degrees, and the range is 1290' 7", then the height would be 345.0311072 feet and each floor would be over 11 feet.
Put down Google sketch and pick up a scientific calculator and do some trigonometry. You can actually get correct results with trig.

You do the math.
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
As soon as you publish your proof for your mathematical formula c < b.
Even a complete jackass, such as yourself, can see from your original play picture, from your #181 to which I linked, that you showed a hypotenuse of 1009' 4".
Your original play picture shows part of a circle with a radius of 338'.
Your second play picture displays the same radius of the circle as 338' on an up/down line. On a somewhat downward slanting horizontal line, you added a new measurement of the radius of that same circle at 324' 6". How the radius shrinks on one side by 11' 6" is not explained. It's a magic circle, or magic math.
1009' 4" + 338' is 1347' 4".
1009' 4" + 324' 6" is 1333' 10".
Keep changing that side radius distance, make believe it was part of the original hypotenuse, until you get your math to work.
What the magic circle with the changing radius is doing there is a mystery. The difference between level travel to end point and travel from elevation to end point is c - b, not the vertical distance of the elevation.
The 338' up/down radius of the circle indicates the elevation of the shooter, and the circle indicates you had an irresistable impulse to draw a circle and make believe the radius was something other than 338' at another angle. 338' was a stated distance of elevation. 324' 6" appears to be a figure plucked from your ass.
Given angles A (14.70°) and C (90.00°) and side a (338') —
side B and angles b and c may be readily calculated —
just not to the values you give them.
A = 14.70°
B = ?º
C = 90.00°
a = 338.00 ft
b = ? ft
c = ? ft
A + B + C = 180º
A + B = 90º
B = 90-Aº
B = 75.30º
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
c = sin(C) * a

WRONG.
Your claim of a radius of 324' 6" is just bullshit pulled out of your ass.
Your incorrect hypotenuse is still 1009' 4" + the actual radius length 338' = 1347' 4". Your newly minted hypotenuse of 1333.83 feet, using data pulled from your ass, is still WRONG.
If you change the circle to a 324' 6" radius, the 1009' 4" section of the hypotenuse would need to expand 13' 6" to 1022' 10" to reach the radius circle.
In any case, I gave you the formulas and your "calculations" leave out any calculations and all your results are wrong.
You still have both 338 and 324' 6" in your number puzzle.
On the first line you list 338 and 114244. Nobody asked you what the square of 338 is.
On the second line you list 1290.5833333333 and 1665605.34027778. Nobody asked you what the square of 1290' 7" is.
You were asked to solve for side b, not pull the figure 1290' 7" out of your ass and square it.
Use the trig function and discover that the figure 1290' 7" is mathematically impossible. An angle of elevation of 14.7° does not reach an elevation of 338' at a distance of 1290' 7". I gave you the formula. I can't help it if you are too dumb, stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to use the formula. Pulling 1290 feet out of your ass is not a mathematical solution to side b.
On your third line you list the sum of 338 squared and 1290' 7" squared.
This would be the hypotenuse if you had properly solved for side b using the trig formula b = sin(B) * a / sin(A). That does not give 1290' 7".
The hypotenuse, solved with the formula c = sin(C) * a is not 1333.83.
Indeed, your wacky diagram at the bottom shows the distance of 1333' 11" and at the top of the rectangle shows 1009' 4" and 324' 6" which adds to 1333' 10". Of course, this relied on you fudging the 324' 6" distance by 13' 6". Unfortunately, c = sin(C) * a does not solve to 1333 anything using the known, given figures of A=14.70°, C=90°, and a=338'. The three given figures dictate what the remaining sides and angles MUST be.
Side a can be 338 or 324' 6", but it cannot be both. It is 338' as the given height of the window.
324' 6" is just a bullshit number, pulled out of your ass. It does not belong to anything but your imagination.
You are a mathematically incompetent nincompoop.

324' 6" appears to be a figure plucked from your ass.
BTW- No, it was the dimension of the circle in the model prior to changing the elevation to 338' which YOU pulled out of your wherever. IIRC I estimated the 326' 6" from the model of the hotel in google earth. But your 338 sounded sooo authoritative, I just changed the elevation and didn't bother with the circle.
Are you not appeased?
If you take a compass and measure the 338 and 326' 6" segment, the lengths will differ accordingly.
BUT LOL! I love how 324' 6" is all it takes to TRIGger your pathetic tantrums. It's hilarious.

338 feet was calculated by a given floor/ceiling measurement of 10.9 feet per floor, multiplied by 31 = 337.9 feet, which would put Paddock standing on the 32nd floor.
After you shorten side a to 324.60 feet, and retain hypotenuse c at 1333.83, and side b at 1290.58 feet, it is impossible to retain a right traingle as it is a mathematical certainty that angle C will be greater than 90°. You will also have changed angle a to 14.08°, angle b to 75.36°. Angle c will be 90.56°. And Paddock will fall to the 30th floor.
As you changed the triangle so it is no longer a right triangle, the formula for right triangles a2 + b2 = c2 no longer works.
Congratulations, your spider infested mind just gave birth to a misshapen mess which I shall christen Gollum's Triangle.
As can readily be visualized, if you shorten side a by 13½ feet, and keep the dimensions of b and c, side a must leave its vertical position and fall away from point A as that is the only way the two lines remain connected. The 13½ foot shortening drops Paddock to the 30th floor, and the departure from the vertical drops him some more. Line B-C is supposed to be representing the elevation from the ground to Paddock's window. You can arbitrarily just change a figure on your cartoon, but Paddock's window did not actually move.
If you shorten side a to 324.60, and you retain the vertical side to a right triangle, and retain the angle of elevation at 14.70°, then you must get side b at 1237.30 feet and side c at 1279.17 feet. The hypotenuse, side c or line B-A has been shortened 54.66 feet.
))) I love how you think changing one measurement of a triangle does not change anything else.
There are only 3 sides and 3 angles to a triangle. All of the miscellaneous lines you drew beyond that are just surplus bullshit.
You have presented Gollum's Triangle, a misshapen pile of shit. Just because you draw it in the shape of a right triangle does not mean the associated data makes a right triangle possible.
Where's your MATH?
A = 14.70°
B = ?º
C = 90.00°
a = 324.60 ft
b = ? ft
c = ? ft
A + B + C = 180º
A + B = 90º
B = 90-Aº
B = 75.30º
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
c = sin(C) * a

is impossible to retain a right traingle as it is a mathematical certainty that angle C will be greater than 90°.
LOL.
I just dragged the top of the line until the dimension corresponding to elevation was 338.
Which is why the sides of my triangle add up.
Boo hoo for you, comrade, and your 1 hit state-school indoctrinated "solution".
In America, we improvise!
>>Where's your MATH?
Right here Donkey Breath:
A^2+B^2=C^2
| A | 338 | 114244 |
| B | 1290.5833333333 | 1665605.34027778 |
| A^2+B^2 | 1779849.34027778 | |
| 1334.1099430998 | ||
| 324.5+1009.33= | 1333.83 |
#54. To: VxH (#53)
WRONG.
Get the fuck out of here.
If A=14.70°, side a = 338' and side b = 1290.58'
then angle B = 75.68° and angle C = 89.62°
and hypotenuse c = 1331.95'
Of course, with angle C being 89.62°, you have another misshapen Gollum Triangle, not a right triangle. With your given data, it is a mathematical impossibility to have a right triangle. It is impossible to have angle C be 90°. Trig does not lie. You do. Your stipulated angle of 14.70 and sides of 338 and 1290.58 cannot make a right triangle.
As you cannot possibly have a right triangle, you application of a formula applicable only to right triangles yields bullshit results.
You get two different figures for hypotenuse c, 1334.11 and 1333.83, both of them wrong.
With sides of 338, 1334.11 and 1290.58, you cannot get a right triangle with an angles of 14.70 and 75.30.
Provide 3 sides and 3 angles that are not mathematically impossible to work with each other to form a right triangle.

You created two radii, one being 338' and the other 324.5'. All radii of the same circle are the same length. You get your choice of one.
If the radius is 338', then the hypotenuse is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33 as shown in your cartoon #1.
You can't fudge your figures by 13.5' by claiming two radii of different lengths.
Your figures are still a mess.
With angle A = 14.70°, angle C = 90° and side a = 338',
Angle B = 75.30°, side b = 1288.38' and hypotenuse c = 1331.98', as sure as
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
c = sin(C) * a
Try it with trig when you learn how. The figures actually work.
Side b is not 1290.5833 if the angle of elevation is 14.70° or you do not have a right triangle. You have yet to describe how you determined the length of side b is 1290.5833 feet.
Hypotenuse c is not 1334.1099.
Nor is hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33' as per your first cartoon.
Nor can you even make believe hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 324.5 = 1033.8 as per your revised cartoon with two different radii.
With a 324.5' radius you lose your right triangle.
With a 338' radius your bullshit cartoon yields a hypotenuse of 1347.33.
