Hi-tech fail: Germany still trains up old-skool Cavalry!

It’s pronounced Cav-all-ry, not calvary (calvary is the name of the hill where supposedly somebody named Jesus of Nazareth was executed), and today’s German army still trains up old fashioned horse riders.

“lost in time”: Pacific Ring of Fire, July 2019

Incomplete list of seismic/natural disaster reports from around the Pacific Ring of Fire, July 2019.  Not only is quake and volcano activity ramping up around the Pacific Ring of Fire, it’s ramping up around the planet.

A new business report says seismic surveys “can grow into the most important market in the world that has played an important role in making progressive impacts on the global economy.”

COLOMBIA:  And for more proof you can’t blame humans for climate change, anybody remember the TV show Space 1999?  Turns out the Moon is being pushed from the Earth right, although slowly and not by nuclear waste explosion, but the catastrophic climate change results are the same as in Space 1999: “Earth’s tidal strength is gradually pushing the moon away from us at a rate of about 3 centimeters a year. Therefore, the moon is indeed a potential ploonet once it reaches an unstable orbit.”-Mario Sucerquia, University of Antioquia

The U.S. Navy conducted ‘subject matter expert exchanges’ with Colombian counterparts, including a FEMA Disaster Training course.  The object is to unify disaster response techniques: “It’s cool to see the differences in how we perform similar treatments. We are picking up different ideas from each other, which will improve our abilities, and this training will allow us to integrate easily when we operate jointly.”-Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Dennis Hueston

116th Armored Cav NTC, June 2019. Overseas deployment in 2020!

Video, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment, M1A2 SEP and M2 Bradley live fire (the voice you hear in the video is one of the first female armor platoon leaders in the U.S.):

At the end of May, 2019, the  Idaho Army National Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (which includes personnel from Oregon, Montana and Nevada) deployed more than 3-thousand troops to the U.S. Army’s Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) in California.

Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing also deployed their A-10C Thunderbolt-2s to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, to provide close air support at NTC.  Even Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) personnel from Brazil joined in.

Video explainer of helicopter ops:

Specialist James Patrick launches a RQ-11 Raven Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, drone).

Another 1-thousand-plus support troops from several other state militias (Arizona, California, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and Puerto Rico), and several Army Reserve units, joined the 116th Armored Cav.

Even Idaho Air National Guard’s 266th Range Squadron played bad guy, deploying fake 1/1 scale models of ‘enemy’ anti-air vehicles.

The wargame lasted 14 days.  The official report stated that this training is preparation for 116th’s deployment to NATO Germany in Spring 2020.

Gun Ban Fail: Shooting in Australia, again! Cops knew who it was and did nothing! Academic report says studies supporting gun bans are deeply flawed!

04 June 2019 (10:38 UTC-07 Tango 06) 14 Khordad 1398/30 Ramadan 1440/02 Geng-Wu 4717

“He shot up every room in that place!”-witness talking about shooting rampage by paroled prisoner

Another witness told local news media the shooter was so calm that responding police went straight by him, yet it turns out the cops knew exactly who he was!

In near-total gun ban British empire Australia another shooting, this time it was done by a prisoner who had been released and then somehow got a shotgun!

Witnesses in the city of Darwin said the man entered a motel and began randomly shooting into the rooms, apparently demanding to see somebody by the name of Alex.  Some witnesses said the shooter was staying at the motel, but had just been kicked out.  After the shooting he ran out and sped off in a pickup-truck.  At least four people were killed.

What’s even stranger is the shooter drove himself to a police station and turned himself in!  Police knew him because he had been paroled from prison in January.

That’s not all.  There were other shootings/incidents in the Darwin area today, police are currently not willing to say they’re connected.  Somebody was killed at a place called the Buffalo Club, then another person was killed in Woolner, and then there was an incident at the Northern Territory Police headquarters!

The question is; how in a country with such strict anti-gun laws does a parolee get a gun?

For years leftist liberals have been boasting that Australia’s gun ban works, yet in 2018 researchers at University of Pennsylvania’s Leonard Davis Institute discovered that studies supporting gun-bans, enacted since the late 1990s, have an inherent flaw: “Over the period in question, societies elsewhere, including Australia, generally became safer and experienced a downward trend in gun-related homicides. So the issue was how do we disentangle the effect of Australia’s intervention to exclude the effect of the broader downward trend. A lot of studies that looked at this didn’t account for that, so much of their evidence is actually part of the larger trend rather than the actual effect of the law….  …..the bottom line is that we don’t know which parts of those…[laws]…were effective or not and that might mean that implementation of one might do little or nothing, or even two out of the three wouldn’t do much but its some combination that actually matters. That all requires more study.”-Benjamin Ukert, postdoctoral researcher

A study published by Science Advances claims that you can determine if you’re experiencing a major magnitude 7 to 9 quake 10 seconds into the shaking. I’ve experienced dozens of earthquakes in my life, both large and small, and I concur there is a noticeable difference in the M6 and large quakes; if you’re directly over the epicenter the Earth heaves under your feet, I’ve seen people literally thrown straight up into the air by a couple of feet (I was sitting in a parked minivan at the time and it bounced violently, as if we were off-roading at 30mph.)  If you’re on the periphery of a major quake it feels like a giant dog has grabbed you and is trying to shake you to death.

PACIFIC RING OF FIRE, April 2019: ‘NOT NORMAL’

Gun Ban Fail: More stabbings in Japan as United Kingdom admits deaths-by-knife are skyrocketing!

30 MAY 2019 (09:41 UTC-07 Tango 06) 09 Khordad 1398/25 Ramadan 1440/26 Ji-Si 4717

Once again, in total gun ban Japan, people were killed by a guy using knives, and it only took “less than 20 seconds”!

Two adults and 15 children (reports vary between 16 and 18 ‘people’ being attacked) were stabbed (killing two of them) while waiting for a school bus, in less than 20 seconds according to Kawasaki police.  The 51 years old attacker then killed himself with a knife.  Contrary to what some U.S. news outlets reported, he did not kill himself as police were chasing him, his body was found after police arrived on scene.

There is also a report that on the same day police in Saitama city shot and killed a 68 years old man after he attacked them with a knife.

And in near total gun ban United Kingdom, death by stabbings have skyrocketed, but don’t blame it on lack of laws, not only does the United Kingdom make it almost impossible for the average citizen to own a gun, but they even have laws regarding the ownership and registration of knives.

The taxpayer funded (through a ‘license’ to watch) BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) reports the number of fatal stabbings the highest since Home Office records began in 1946.

Just this month of May has experienced dozens of knife (and baseball bat) attacks.  Here’s a little selection of U.K. news media reports,

The Star: Police seal off Sheffield street after man is stabbed on Shiregreen estate

Liverpool Echo:A teen stabbed with his own knife

The Sun: Knife gangs keeping ‘scoreboard’ of violence

BBC: Is austerity causing rising knife crime in Birmingham?

Independent: Teenager chased down and killed

Daily Mail: Newly-wed husband, 24, who was about to become father for first time was stabbed to death in front of horrified shoppers in Tesco car park

It should be noted that even leftist liberal United Kingdom news media admitted that the overwhelming majority of violent crimes in their imperialist country involved no weapons at all!
