Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

CoViD Oddities-3: The coming Cytokine Storm and “biological bombs”!

CoViD-19=CoronaVirus Disease-2019

Pandemics reveal the strangest things about how humans act.  Two things specifically regarding this CoViD-19 supposed pandemic (since influenza is still killing tens of thousands more people than CoViD-19); panic buying and then disappearance of toilet paper stocks, and panic buying of certain food products, with officials telling everybody there’s plenty while at the same time the supply system can’t seem to keep the shelves stocked even though in many areas panic buying has stopped, and stores have implemented limits on how much you can buy.  Pandemics also reveal that many accepted ‘facts’ about how pathogens spread are bullshit!

Operation CoViD-19: National Guard Title 32 operations

Video

Just what are the various state National Guard units doing during this Corona-Virus Disease-2019 pandemic?  Incomplete list of news links.

U.S. Defense Secretary said that state governors have the option of using the National Guard to enforce stay-at-home orders.

17,250 National Guard mobilized for COVID-19 response, 10 states, 2 territories and DC on Title 32 status

“Federal authority over National Guard members falls under Title 32 of the U.S. Code. This is considered federal active duty for specific state missions and full-time Guard positions. This type of state-level activation is guided by state laws and policies, but it is funded by the federal government after approval from the president. This typically happens with large-scale, state-related missions: major natural disasters, for example. The governor is the boss even though the state mission is sanctioned and funded by the federal government.”–Title 10 vs. Title 32 vs. the State

CALIFORNIA: National Guard take over the operations of the Foodbank Santa Barbara, 27MAR2020.

Official video, National Guard takes over all aspects of the Sacramento Food Bank operations; receiving, packing, delivery:

National Guard sets up hospital at San Mateo County : “The National Guard came up with a map on how the flow of operation is going to be. We assisted and designed this hospital decompression unit with Cal EMSA. The goal is to essentially decompress local hospitals and ensure the San Mateo hospital and health care systems are not overwhelmed.”-Captain John Mullee, nurse practitioner

FLORIDA: Many of the National Guard personnel being activated are already healthcare workers on the silly-vilian side. Arielle Tango is not only an emergency room technician at her regular job, she’s also a National Guard combat medic Sergeant who specializes in medical data collection.  Does activating her for National Guard response to a pandemic actually create a problem for the hospital she was working for as a civilian?

From the UN’s World Health Organization: “WHO estimates that seasonal influenza may result in 290,000-650,000 deaths each year due to respiratory diseases alone.  The estimate does not take into account deaths from other diseases such as cardiovascular disease, which can be influenza-related. Further surveillance and laboratory studies of all influenza-related diseases are ongoing and are expected to yield substantially higher estimates over the next few years.”

Evil U.S. employers are using CoViD-19 as an excuse to layoff employees en-masse (more than 3-million in one week, a record!), resulting in a sudden increase in people qualifying for free food from food banks, and forcing state governors to activate National Guard.

For weeks news media personalities, along with business and government ‘experts’, have been telling people in the United States not to panic about grocery shopping, yet, for the first time ever the governor of Arizona activated 7-hundred National Guard personnel for the sole purpose of delivering and stocking food in grocery stores!

Iron Ladies, Tigers and Saving Willie?

Video

Armor Museum Restoration Shop Fort Benning, Georgia.

Video report on World War Two tank restoration ops at Fort Benning, Georgia, with a focus on an M18 Hellcat and a Jagdtiger:

In 2012, the U.S. Air Force moves a Tiger-1 from the United Kingdom to the U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia, for repair and full restoration.

According to the USAF, the Tiger-1 was originally on display at the United States Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground, then at a museum in Germany, before being stored at RAF Alconbury, United Kingdom, with two other tanks.

Apparently there was two years of legal wrangling before the approval was given to send the Tiger to Fort Benning, Georgia.

In September 2015, an old LVT-4 Willie was moved from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, to Anniston Army Depot, Alabama, finally landing at Randolph Hall, a Marine training facility located on the Ordnance Campus of Fort Lee, Virginia, in January 2016.

One of the many LVT-4s auctioned-off by the City of Buffalo in New York in 2016.

The purpose is to restore it and to train-up new Marines Corps welders at the same time.  Interestingly the dedicated fans of the armor display at Aberdeen were never warned and thought Willie had been kidnapped: “The question was asked about the location of the LVT that used to sit in front of the old barracks. Through various emails and phone calls, Willie was tracked down and located sitting on a storage lot at Anniston. Through coordination and agreements to provide a better indoor home, it was agreed to move it back with the Marines.”– Chief Warrant Officer-3 Joseph Bering, USMC

The City Of Buffalo obtained several LVT-4s and used them as ice breakers in the local waterways.

Once restored Willie reportedly will end up at the U.S. Army Engineer Museum at Fort Leonard Wood (Lost in the Woods, my old basic and advanced training alma matter), Missouri.
