At the beginning of April 2022, it was revealed that 7-hundred remaining Idaho Army National Guard combat personnel had been training for yet another deployment.  This time their training included the use of anti-tank javelin missiles, for the first time. Idaho Army and Air National Guard units have been conducting rotating deployments to The Middle East for a few years now.

Due to the now seemingly never ending Idaho National Guard deployments, currently involving more than 1-thousand-4-hundred Army and Air National Guard personnel, the Idaho National Guard Service Member & Family Support Division hosted the first ever Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, on 07APR2022.  Idaho is a geographically large rural state with a population of only about 1.9-million (just under a quarter of the population of the megalopolis of New York City).

Forget the ‘Pandemic’, its Bird Flu now! Don’t say I didn’t warn you (’cause I did, in 2020).

In January 2022, the H5N1 Bird Flu was confirmed in the small Eastern European country of Latvia.

This should be no surprise, because H5N1 was confirmed in NATO member state Latvia in 2021.

By the end of February 2021, Latvia decided to impose “enhanced biosecurity measures”, not over ‘The Pandemic’, but because of Bird Flu!

Latvia is so afraid for its poultry industry that it now requires vehicles that operate near poultry farms to be decontaminated (aka an agricultural wash), and that includes NATO military vehicles training for the Ukraine Crisis!

It is not just Latvia. Agricultural washes are taking place in NATO Germany as well.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is managing the construction of a new US$360-million Army Prepositioned Stock, or APS, facility in Powidz, NATO Poland.  So not only has NATO absorbed Eastern European countries, it is now expanding huge weapons storage facilities closer to the border with Russia.  The APS is the largest project in Poland being managed by U.S. Army Europe District’s Northern Europe Area Office.

On 05APR2022, the U.S. Army’s V Corps got a new (yet officially temporary) home in NATO Germany.  In 2012, V Corps was officially inactivated, but don’t blame the Ukraine crisis for its rebirth.  V Corps was officially reborn in 2020, with HQs in Kentucky and NATO Poland.  Now, V Corps is in Ansbach: “The United States Army and Bavaria go back for a long time, being loyal partners and friends for more than 65 years. Bavaria is proud to host the largest concentration of U.S. land forces in Europe and all the personnel working with the forces.”– Johannes Urban, Armed Forces Affairs, Security and Defense Policy in the Bavarian State Chancellery

It was revealed, on 14APR2022, that the U.S. military is now spending U.S. taxpayers’ money on purchasing food directly from European NATO members!  It is known as the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA), and the first deliveries of food went to the Sailors and Marines onboard the USS Ross (DDG 71) and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80).  The ACSA began in March, U.S. Navy officials blame it on government Pandemic Mandates which are interfering with globalized supply systems: “Due to time constraints and unique global supply chain challenges, the ACSAs to procure food entirely through our NATO Allies were crucial to our acquisition strategy to keep our ships in foreign waters at an optimal fill levels to maintain readiness and the health and well-being of personnel.”-Captain Douglas S. MacKenzie, U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella

U.S. Army blows-up British made Iranian Chieftain in Iraq!

U.S. Army photo by Private First Class Nikko-Angelo Matos, 28MAR2011.

In March 2011, the U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division’s B-Company 52nd Infantry Regiment used a NATO United Kingdom made FV4201 Chieftain tank as a TOW target, TOW as in Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided missile.

It happened on Kirkush Military Training Base, in Diyala Province, Iraq.

The Chieftain tank was made by NATO United Kingdom (U.K.), and purchased by Iran in the 1970s.  The Iranian army liked the Chieftain better than their U.S. made M60A1s, and paid in advance for hundreds more, but before that order was filled The 1979 Revolution happened and all sales of NATO made weapons to Iran were eventually banned by the United States/NATO, in fact, Iran paid in advance for at least 6-hundred Chieftains which The U.K. never delivered.  Not only did Iran want more Chieftains, they also paid for the development of an upgraded Chieftain called the Lion Project. In 2020, it was revealed that the British Royal Army used the money Iran spent on the never delivered 6-hundred tanks, as well as the money for the Lion Project, to develop their Challenger tank.

Iranian Chieftain sometime during The Iran-Iraq War, photo via Fars News Agency.

During the Iran-Iraq War 1980-88 (known in The Middle East as The First Gulf War), massive tank battles were fought, with both sides gaining and losing ground. Many ground vehicles were captured by Iran and Iraq, and put into use against their former owners.  The Iraqi army claims to have captured as many as 75 intact Iranian Chieftains during the Iran-Iraq War.

Photo via Mehr News Agency.

By 2013, Iran had gone ahead with their own attempt at the old Lion Project, and radically modified/enlarged the hull of their Chieftains, allowing them to use a larger engine and transmission, and stronger suspension. They call it The Mobarez.

In 2015, it was revealed that so-called pro-Iranian militias in Iraq were using Iraqi upgraded Chieftains, called The Khalid.  The upgrades included air conditioning as well as night vision.

Biden’s War: USN creates new police op to protect NATO’s Oil supply!

The United States continues acting as the World’s oil police force, at taxpayer expense of course.  On 17APR2022, the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/U.S. 5th Fleet (based in The Middle East) established a new international naval task force to “enhance” oil shipping lane security in the Red Sea area.

The Red Sea is the route taken by most petroleum tanker ships heading to NATO Europe.  Remember, U.S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior promised NATO European countries that the U.S. would guarantee oil/natural gas shipments from The Middle East, to replace shipments from now sanctioned Russia!

Since 2001, the U.S. led naval oil protection force is known as Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), and claims to have onboard 34 countries.  The new Red Sea oil protection police operation is called Combined Task Force (CTF) 153, it is the fourth such ‘Force’ to be created by the CMF (CTF 150, 151 & 152): “This is a tangible and meaningful demonstration of our commitment to ensuring regional maritime security and stability through international cooperation.”-Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and CMF

But don’t think it is a massive fleet of ships, CTF 153 consists of one boat, the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20).  It should be noted that the USS Mount Whitney has served with NATO, and is also a NATO command ship for Naval Striking and Support Forces.

It was revealed, on 14APR2022, that the U.S. military is now spending U.S. taxpayers’ money on purchasing food directly from European NATO members!  It is known as the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA), and the first deliveries of food went to the Sailors and Marines onboard the USS Ross (DDG 71) and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80).  The ACSA began in March, U.S. Navy officials blame it on government Pandemic Mandates which are interfering with globalized supply systems: “Due to time constraints and unique global supply chain challenges, the ACSAs to procure food entirely through our NATO Allies were crucial to our acquisition strategy to keep our ships in foreign waters at an optimal fill levels to maintain readiness and the health and well-being of personnel.”-Captain Douglas S. MacKenzie, U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella

The U.S. Army claims to be improving its food offerings to Soldiers (I’m a Cold War veteran and I’ve been hearing that since 1982!).  The latest incarnation of said food improvement is the U.S. Army’s Commitment to Improving Overall Nutrition (ACTION) so-called Go For Green Food.  On 18-19APR2022, Fort Sumter Soldiers got to try out, and rate, the new ‘Green’ food provided by several contacted food vendors.

WASHINGTON: Soul Cedar Farms recalling its sweet peppers due to being infected with Clostridium botulinum!

‘Backyard’ chicken farmer is amazed how many people think Bird Flu is not real, and believes the Bird Flu epidemic is a excuse/scam by corporate chicken farms to raise prices and shutdown small independent/mom & pop chicken farmers. Is the Bird Flu epidemic actually caused by the massive corporate poultry industry that crams millions of birds into small living spaces in proven to be unhealthy environments?
