Anyone who knows anything about submarines knew this was defamatory bullshit. If you're not at periscope depth or using a tethered buoy, you're not using radio waves to communicate without ridiculous engineering projects like ELF transmitters.

More importantly, in the context of submarines, ELF is receive only.

That too - ELF is Nikola Tesla mad science brought to life, using an entire power station to energise two electrodes fifty to sixty kilometers apart, to turn the Earth into your antenna.

It's actually based directly on Tesla patents. Tesla's wireless systems used the Earth as a transmitter. After Tesla died, his patents were classified, and everyone started using less effective Marconi style aerial transmission.

It follows that the target audience do not know anything about submarines.

We can deduce the targets of this psi op from the context. It seems that normies are almost crushingly ignorant about basic physics.

I'm just wondering from a technical aspect, but was there no way to have some kind of tether attached to this sub even in a guide rope sense?

Like was it too long or deep to have that or was it another safety measure they simply didn't do?

Yes, it was possible. That's how Project Azorian originally did it in the 70s.

For fucks sake, if this wasn't a 'fake your death' situation, these are some of the dumbest motherfuckers to exist.

Oh, hey, someone else who knows about that Howard Hughes project.

This is brazenly retarded, even for Snopes.
