U.S. Border Wall milestones of 2020

Video January 8, 2021 Hutchins AAron

During the decades of sporadic wall construction it should be noted that both Republican and Democrat politicians supported it. The first wall section was built by the United States between 1909 and 1911. Mexico built a wall section in 1918. The walls were extended in the 1920s and in the 1940s. President George H.W. Bush (senior) began new wall construction in the 1990s. President Bill Clinton expanded funding for wall construction, in fact one book says it was under Clinton that wall construction became more focused in an attempt to stop drug and human smuggling. President George W. Bush (junior) began new wall construction supposedly at the behest of California politicians. President Barack Obama supposedly declared wall construction complete in 2011, yet quietly (secretly?) built an additional 128-miles (206-km) of wall. In 2017, President Donald Trump officially restarted wall construction. I predict President elect Joe Biden will not halt border wall construction.

The Boeing RC-135V/W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft are the most recent members of the RC-135 family, which can be traced back to 1964. The difference between the ‘V’ and ‘W’ variants depends upon which C-135 was upgraded/modified to Rivet Joint standard; RC-135Vs are upgraded RC-135Cs, while RC-135Ws are modified C-135Bs.

For the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly British Commonwealth of Nations, formerly British Empire) member United Kingdom, in 2011 the RC-135W was chosen as the replacement for the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) BAe Nimrod R Mark 1. In November 2013 the RAF received it’s first RC-135W, flying it’s first mission in May 2014. The official British name for the RC-135W is Airseeker.

It was determined that the Airseeker had a faulty main-landing gear sequence valve, which was preventing the gear from locking in the retracted position.

The ancient Nova vacformed 1:72 scale KC-135 came with optional parts which you could use to make an RC version (but it has the older engines since it came out before the CFM-56 version, you could kit-bash using a newer CFM equipped AMT-ERTL KC-135R kit, which was also issued under the Airfix/Heller brands).

In the 1990s AMT-ERTL issued a 1:72 scale RC-135V, the version used during Desert Storm. Some kit bashers used the kit to model a RC-135W Airseeker.

If you are a model builder, pay attention to the year of operation of the RC-135V/W you want to depict, because various antennae bumps and blades will appear and disappear depending on the latest electronic mission configuration. It seems the older the plane gets the more skin growths it develops.

End of the Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: No more Open Skies, or whatever happened to the OC-135B?

Video November 30, 2020 Hutchins AAron

U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sergeant Keith Reed the Third, 17JUL1997.

On 24MAR1992, the Treaty on Open Skies was created as a way of being sure that countries that have military weapons (military-grade arms) control agreements are complying. However, it wouldn’t be until 01JAN2002 that Open Skies actually went into effect, with 34 countries signed-on (but only 20 ratified). Interestingly, the first OC-135B was ready to launch in June 1993!

On 22NOV2020, the United States officially withdrew from the Treaty on Open Skies, so far the only country to do so. It’s interesting that the many countries who did not sign-on to Open Skies, like nuclear armed China, condemned the U.S. withdrawal.

Photo by Kelly White. 23APR2020, U.S. Air Force OC-135B (6-12670) stripped and awaiting what would become its final Open Skies livery.

But it is more complicated than U.S. President Donald Trump being a mean old ‘orange man’, it’s about other treaty signators not complying, and the fact that updating the now ‘ancient’ observation technology is just too cost prohibitive for taxpayers.

Here’s a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) video, 22MAY2020, in which NATO accuses Russia (Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) of violating the Open Skies agreement:

From 1992-93, three WC-135B aircraft were modified for the Open Skies mission, re-designated OC-135B. For some reason, after only a few years based at Offutt Air Force Base (AFB), Nebraska, the first OC-135B was sent straight to ‘moth-balls’ at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, in 1997.

Despite the OC-135Bs being used on other non-Open Skies observations, such as natural disasters, according to some reports the remaining two OC-135Bs are now available for sale as a result of the U.S. exit from Open Skies: “We’ve started liquidating the equipment. Other countries can come purchase or just take the airframes. They are really old and cost-prohibitive for us to maintain. We don’t have a use for them anymore.”

What many people might not know is that the Open Skies operation required the use of old school film technology. In this 2015 U.S. Air Force video report, by John Harrington, it’s revealed that the old technology was getting difficult to maintain due to no new parts:

Here is an October 2016 USAF video (by John Harrington) explaining how the imagery captured by the OC-135Bs are processed:

Government Shenanigans: UH-60 for Afghanistan, killed-off by the Mil 17, U.S. taxpayers raped twice?

Begun under the Barack Obama administration, the UH-60A program for Afghanistan is now drastically scaled back under the Donald Trump administration, due to lack of the Black Hawk’s performance in Afghanistan, a shift in priorities within the U.S. Department of Defense, and the high cost to U.S. taxpayers.

By March 2018, U.S. military officials were boasting the UH-60 program was “mission ready”. Video of more flight training by John Roberts:

By May 2018, the first large class of Afghan UH-60A crews had completed the Mission Qualification Course (MQC). Video by Jackie Faye showing Afghan UH-60s taking off on their first official mission one day after the MQC graduation:

In June 2018, The U.S. Special Inspector General For Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) criticized the UH-60 program for Afghanistan saying “They are unable to accommodate some of the larger cargo items the Mi-17s can carry, and in general, it takes almost two Black Hawks to carry the load of a single Mi-17. Furthermore, unlike Mi-17s, Black Hawks cannot fly at high elevations and, as such, cannot operate in remote regions of Afghanistan where Mi-17s operate.”

By December 2018, U.S. TAAC-Air contractors continued to train Afghan personnel on the UH-60A.

In February 2019, SIGAR warned that the $7-billion U.S. taxpayer funded program to replace Afghanistan’s Russian built helicopters with U.S. made helicopters (first proposed in 2014, mainly using the UH-60A+) was flawed because “DOD does not currently have a maintenance training course in place to train Afghan personnel to maintain UH-60s. Having insufficient Afghan maintenance personnel limits the locations at which UH-60s can operate because DOD policy bars U.S. contractors from working where there is no U.S. or Coalition control due to security concerns.”

Another former USA UH-60 Black Hawk bound for Afghanistan, this time on 25APR2019, transported by Ukrainian An-124 transport. USA photo by Richard Bumgardner.

In January 2020, the Military Times reported “The U.S. military is reducing the number of UH-60 Black Hawks it plans to provide Afghan forces from 159 to just 53…..”, ostensibly because the U.S. Department of Defense no longer considers Afghanistan a priority.

September 2020, the Financial Express explains the reasons why ‘Afghan Military to stick to Russian-made Helocraft’, saying the Obama era program to rely mainly on UH-60s to replace proven Russian technology was “primarily driven by political concern”.

Don’t worry all you happy U.S. taxpayers, you paid for those Russian made ‘Hip’ helicopters as well, to the tune of $15-million each!

David Nabarro, World Health Organization special envoy for CoViD-19, warned in 08OCT2020 video interview, with the Spectator’s The Week in 60 Minutes, admits that nobody knows how to properly respond to CoViD and that lockdowns could be worse than the pandemic: “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control….. …..lockdowns have just one consequence….making poor people an awful lot poorer.”

This is from a UN WHO report about the economic realities of lockdowns and mass-testing, made public in July 2020: “In larger populations, however, such comprehensive surveillance may be impracticable or too costly and the test workload may rapidly outstrip capacity and resources….. long-term lockdowns may not be an option because economic necessity could preclude self-isolation.”

Leftist group warns of new anti-pandemic lockdown organization based in Idaho Washington DC; President Trump gets experimental antibody cocktail to treat COVID-19 President Trump is correct about suicides versus CoViD-19: “Every 1% hike in the unemployment rate will likely produce a 3.3% increase in drug overdose deaths and a 0.99% increase in suicides according to data provided by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the medical journal Lancet. These are facts based on experience, not models. If unemployment hits 32%, some 77,000 Americans are likely to die from suicide and drug overdoses as a result of layoffs. Scientists call these fatalities ‘deaths of despair’.“–Betsy McCaughey VENEZUELA: Thanks Russia for 2-thousand experimental CoViD-19 vaccines

In the state of Michigan, National Guard personnel are being used to test migrant farm workers for CoViD-19. This is the result of the state Department of Health and Human Services issuing an emergency order at the beginning of August, requiring that all agricultural and food processing workers who are living in migrant housing camps must be tested for CoViD-19 within 48 hours of entering the state. The program is taxpayer funded and involves the Michigan National Guard because apparently a lot of Guard personnel speak Spanish: “We do have a large migrant population as well in our community, because of our influx of migrant workers during the summer and fall months. So having somebody who does speak Spanish is important because it gives them access too.”-Heather Alberda, Ottawa County Department of Public Health
