Explosion takes out giant food factory in Iran! Evacuations ordered for Amol City!
Just before sunset on 05JAN2026 (Iran time) the giant Kalleh Dairy operation blew up! Some sources report several explosions were heard. As I write this most of the factory is still on fire and evacuations for everybody within a one kilometer radius are taking place.
This Kalleh Dairy is located in Amol City, Amol County, Mazandaran province. Video via Fars News:
Speculators (which include some Iranian government officials) have suggested a construction/welding accident caused a fire which caused an explosion, or it was sabotage by protestors or even a military strike (it is part of the U.S./Israeli military policy to target such places as they are considered ‘dual use’ facilities).
This is not the first time a Kalleh Dairy operation was destroyed. In 2019 a dairy in Karbala, Iraq, was destroyed by fire and was determined to be sabotage.

It’s always been about oil, ever since Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in the 1970s.
When the Spanish explorers set foot in a place now called Venezuela they noticed that the natives were using a tarry substance, it seemed to be everywhere. Today, it’s known as heavy crude oil.
By 1928, U.S. oil companies had surpassed the operations of European oil companies in Venezuela. Despite a lot of naysayers claiming that nobody wants to control Venezuela’s expensive to refine heavy crude oil, the oil refineries in the United States were developed specifically to handle that type of oil. The Second World War, followed by the sales boom of personal automobiles in the U.S., drove the U.S. even deeper into developing the world’s largest heavy crude oil reserves, in Venezuela.

C-SPAN has a promotional film about Creole Petroleum Corporation, showing the history of its development in Venezuela and what it argues are the many benefits to the oil-rich country, such as health care, education, and infrastructure: Click here to view People and Petroleum, the Story of Creole in Venezuela.

In 1950, Venezuela was the fourth most prosperous country in the world, with an average income of about $7-thousand-5-hundred with only Switzerland, New Zealand, and the U.S. doing better. Owned by Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) at the time, Creole dissolved when Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in the 1970s.

U.S. Disaster 2025: FEMA’s new ‘Public Order’ training.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) instituted a national ‘Public Order’ training standard for National Guard and law enforcers across the United States. The news media hasn’t published one word about this, yet you can find information directly from FEMA: Public Order and Public Safety basic course.
The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) also publishes the new FEMA Public Order standards.
On 03AUG2025, Rhode Island Army National Guard’s 115th Military Police Company participated in Public Order training, officially known as Public Order Platoon (POP) training, taught by the Rhode Island State Police. Video report via Terry Rajsombath:

Busiest turnout ever for the Pocatello Model Railroad & Historical Society’s Open House!
The 6th of December 2025 turned out to be the biggest and busiest turnout yet for the Pocatello, Idaho, railroad club’s Open House; more than 3-hundred people were counted (according to two of the club members I talked with) between the 10th and 13th hours, and there was still an hour to go!
Was it because word was spread on social media that Santa & Mrs. Claus would be there?
The old Union Pacific building the club calls home is in desperate need of structural repairs. They’ve been trying to raise money for the repairs for a couple of years now.
Ooops! And right in front of the children! Hope they’re not traumatized. Nobody was physically hurt in the incident.
See a whole lot more in my YouTube video:
The actual Union Pacific smoke stack still stands in Pocatello, but for how long?

Cold War relics get digital upgrades: Serbia’s new 2S1-M21 SPG & KOT1-V2 command post.
Notice the anti-drone cage, and the remote controlled machine gun on the rear of the command post.
“The improved KOT1 V2 command post armored vehicle receives orders from the observation post, processes them and, in a split second, forwards them to the self-propelled howitzer, which, in a short time, computes firing data and is ready for all fire missions.”-Sergeant Major Mladen Miletić, Command Sergeant Major of the 23rd Self-Propelled Howitzer Artillery Battalion
Externally the ‘M21’ Gvozdika looks like any other Gvozdika.
Serbia spent the past few years upgrading their 2S1 self-propelled 122 millimeter (122mm) artillery system with the latest digital targeting and communications electronics.
U.S. Army vehicle I-D training image from the Cold War.
During the Cold War, NATO referred to the 2S1 as the ‘M-1974 SAU-122’. The ‘M-1974’ refers to when NATO observers first noticed the SPG (Self-Propelled Gun), during a July 1974 parade in Warsaw, Poland. The SAU-122 refers to the diameter of the gun bore.
Side note; both NATO and former East Bloc countries call the 122mm gun a ‘howitzer’. Technically this is incorrect as howitzer refers to short tubed, easily transportable by infantry, artillery guns. Guns that had barrels which were much shorter than that of the old Soviet 122mm.
During the Cold War, NATO referred to the KOT1 V2 command post as the ‘M-1976’ command post, or as the MTLB-u. Both the 2S1 and the command post are based on the MTLB chassis.

Germany brings back The Draft?
NATO-Germany just passed a law that says if their military fails to recruit 80-thousand men per year then ‘needs-based conscription’ (the draft) will be implemented. It is known as a ‘dual track system’, meaning if you don’t voluntarily join you will be forced into the military. Apparently this new law is because NATO-Germany is having problems achieving the number of personnel required by its NATO membership. Interesting that in this western-woke country they did not include women in their new law.
Then & Now: Pocatello’s Center Street Tunnel, videos 2023 to 2025, why such never ending deterioration despite never ending ‘projects’?
In Southeastern Idaho, Pocatello’s Center Street Tunnel (underpass) has been around since The Great Depression (1934 to be exact). The Tunnel was built underneath a very busy Union Pacific railyard. The City of Pocatello is supposedly, constantly, repairing the Tunnel. The repair work never lasts long and recently the Tunnel is looking so bad that perhaps it should be permanently shutdown and completely rebuilt.
If you ever hang-out for sometime in and under the Tunnel you’ll hear how impactful the Union Pacific operations are overhead. It seems to me that the Tunnel was not successfully built to handle such railroad induced seismic activities, resulting in never ending taxpayer funded repair projects.
In 2012, the City began the Center Street Railroad Bridge Underpass Project, stating that it is in the “development stage.”
2019, Pocatello updates its “Center Street Underpass Rehabilitation”: https://projects.pocatello.gov/open-house-for-center-street-underpass-improvements/
In 2021, the pedestrian tunnels became an art project: https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/11/pocatello-center-street-underpass-the-focus-of-ongoing-art-project/
Here is a video I recorded back on 23SEP2023, both ped-tunnels are open and it looks a lot better than it does now:
In 2024, Pocatello revealed, in an update, that Union Pacific has the final say on projects to improve the Tunnel.
In June 2025, the City announced that the final phase of reconstruction will begin in January 2026. The City also contradicts the date when the Tunnel was originally built, now saying it was 1943 during World War Two! Did the person who wrote the City’s press release transpose the numbers? It was in the 2012 press release that the City established the date as 1934.
In this video I made on 28NOV2025, during the Night Lights Parade, the crumbling concrete is very bad, one of the pedestrian tunnels is blocked off and apparently nobody is maintaining the ped-tunnel that is open:
