U.S. Civil War: Drugs, Education, Gun Bans, Immigrants, Infrastructure, Mandates, Pandemics, Secession

Video December 9, 2022 Hutchins AAron

There are multiple reason why people in the United States of America should feel like rebelling against their own government, here’s just a sampling of video reports and links to publications, for 2022, so far:

COVERT 2ND AMENDMENT BANS:

Liberal-progressives in Washington state pushing to expand their anti-gun laws created in 2022, will push for gun bans in 2023!

Liberal-progressives in Illinois pushing to ban guns!

In Ohio, the Columbus City Council created a new gun-ban law, despite the fact it is in violation of state and federal laws!

In Texas, a federal judge rules a specific federal anti-gun law violates the federal Constitution!

Second Circuit Court of Appeals allows New York City to temporarily enforce its concealed carry ban!

Oregon voters tricked into narrowly passing covert gun ban, which actually violates Oregon’s Constitution. This report explains how Measure 114 became a covert ‘back door’ gun ban:

This report says rural voters outvote city voters in Oregon, if that is the case why did Oregon’s covert gun ban pass?

This report does a quick comparison of gun laws in Idaho, then explains how Oregon’s Measure 114 (passed by a razor thin margin) is actually a way of preventing Oregonians from their state and federal Rights to defend themselves. Also, reveals that Sheriffs of several counties refuse to enforce the new anti-2nd Amendment law:

Pennsylvania business owner upsets Liberal Progressives by hiring his own armed guards, because crime in the Liberal controlled state has skyrocketed:

Missouri National Guard finally becomes a separate state department, December 2022, liberal-progressive politicians blame 2nd Amendment Preservation Act!

Liberal-progressive controlled federal Department of Justice sues the state of Missouri over its 2nd Amendment Preservation Act!

Iowa‘s 2nd Amendment Preservation Act.

State of Wyoming creates its own 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, to counter federal anti-gun laws!

EDUCATION: Liberal-progressives want children to be taught by robots!

Liberal-progressives blame failing Social Studies for Q-Anon and the Big Lie!

Pandemic lockdowns and mandates are being blamed for the dumbing down of grade schoolers, liberal-progressive school districts (like San Diego‘s) want put them all into ‘special education’ classes!

80% of Lowell High School teachers go on strike (sick-out) to protest San Francisco Unified School District!

The “Biden-Harris Administration” (yes, the U.S. Department of Education actually referrers to the Office of the President [singular] as “Biden-Harris” [plural]) announced a new push for the failed STEM program!

Penn State undergraduate student, charged with taking part in ‘Proud Boy’ demonstrations, will be allowed to graduate.

Pennsylvania Department of Education promotes new vocational school that focuses on Carbon Careers!

University of Wyoming revokes privileges for church elder after he took part in demonstrations for LGBTQ (ABCD… LMNOP… XYZ) people.

Immigrants, March 2019: Global Civil War = IMMIGRANT INVASION, UNITED STATES

Immigrants, May 2018: COVERT CIVIL WAR IN TEXAS CAUSES BULLIED IMMIGRANT TO SHOOT UP SCHOOL WITH SHOTGUN?

INFRASTRUCTURE: Electric power grids have been under ‘attack’ for a long time, they were always officially referred to as “vandalisms”. In this report, the expert being interviewed reveals that power grid attacks have taken place since at least the 1990s:

Notice that most power grid attacks on the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. involve a utility company called Duke Energy:

Florida utility companies say they are preparing for attacks:

MANDATES: Vaccine-mandate protestors have dogged Michelle Wu’s first year as Boston mayor.

In Connecticut, anti-vaccine protesters rally against Yale’s booster mandate.

In New York, Fordham College at Lincoln Center’s new mandate for booster shots is being ignored by school security guards, the ‘un-boosted’ are being allowed on campus?

U.S. truckers are protesting vaccines.

PANDEMIC: In Pennsylvania, the city of Johnstown rejected Pandemic funding for a local church. The funding came from federal taxpayers, but the city officials made up their own rules about who qualifies for the funding! The city is essentially sitting on more than $30-million in federal Pandemic funding!

Inflation being blamed on Pandemic stimulus funding?

California lifts their Pandemic insurance rate freeze, GEICO first to hit Californians with huge rate increase!

Fauci says his family is being threatened, at least two people facing charges they tried to kill him!

SECESSION: More Oregonians want to create a Greater Idaho:

UNIONS: Are massive Amazon layoffs actually a war against Unions?

Biden/Democrats screw over Railroad and Airline union workers, unions now rebelling against both Democrats and Republicans:

According to the U.S. Air Force, the F-15 Eagle was designed to last for 4-thousand flight hours, but several F-15 types have made it all the way to 10-thousand flight hours, and some are still flying today (despite the current mass-retirements underway)!

On 25JAN2017, F-15C Eagle #83-3014 reached 10-thousand flight hours during a sortie at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada: “To get to 10,000 flight hours means probably a couple hundred thousand maintenance hours have been put in. So for over 30 years, day-in and day-out, maintainers have done everything asked of them and more to get the aircraft to this point. Normally, 10,000 flight hours is only seen within combat-coded units. Everybody in Eagle AMU has touched this aircraft, so if it wasn’t for their work, and the work of M1 Support Services, this jet would never have reached 10,000 hours.”-Master Sergeant Joseph Romero, Eagle Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) lead production superintendent

On 29JUL2016, an F-15C Eagle, on Kadena Air Base, Japan, joined the 10-thousand hours club: “It shows the F-15 is long-in-the-tooth, but still meets the combat capability required. We have jets here with multiple combat kills; they’ve been through more than four wars and operations: Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Operation Northern Watch, Operation Southern Watch, Operation Allied Force; and all those jets are sitting out on the ramp.“-Captain Brian Anderson, 67th Fighter Squadron pilot

While on Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, F-15E Strike Eagle #89-0487 (487) hit 10-thousand flying hours. On 13JAN2012, it was painted with both markings for ‘kills’ (made during the 1991 Operation Desert Storm) and the 10-thousand hours achievement.

Despite it being younger than the F-15A and C versions, F-15E #487 was the first F-15 of any version to hit 10-thousand flying hours! 487 was ‘born’ in November 1990, fought in Desert Storm in 1991, then the ‘War on Terror’ where it achieved 10-thousand flight hours over Afghanistan: “It has taken more than 21 years of qualified maintenance technicians performing more than one million hours of inspections and repairs in all types of environments at home station, depot facilities, TDY [Temporary DutY] and AEF [Air Expeditionary Force] locations to ensure aircraft No. 89-0487 was available to deploy on numerous TDYs and AEFs. It also took careful, timely loading and maintenance by hundreds of weapons technicians in conjunction with countless hours of repairs and inspections performed by avionics, electrical and environmental, engine, fuels, egress and structural airmen.”-Chief Master Sergeant John Parrott, 335th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit

“When we got here, it was at 8,800 hours. We put 1,200 hours on it in the past three months. During that time, this aircraft dropped 15 percent of all bombs deployed in our fleet. To keep it flying at that pace, it was very important to keep the same crew on it to get to know the aircraft.”-Staff Sergeant Ryan Forsse, 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Crew Chief assigned to #487

In August 2009, F-15E Strike Eagles with 336th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron surpassed 8-thousand combat hours, while flying out of Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan: “Everything went smooth. We try to give them a jet they don’t have to worry about; they need to focus on the mission and save the lives of our people on the ground.”-Senior Airman John Yates, F-15E Crew Chief

Vaccine Fail: German data makes definitive link between dozens of Heart Deaths & m-R-N-A!

Video December 5, 2022 Hutchins AAron

“Overall, autopsy findings indicated death due to acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. Thus, myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

A recent post-mortem (autopsy) study directly blames mRNA vaccines for at least 25 sudden deaths in Germany! The study has been published (27NOV2022, in Clinical Research in Cardiology , originally submitted on 22JUL2022, so this has been known about for awhile) and is peer reviewed.

“Standardized autopsies were performed on 25 persons who had died unexpectedly and within 20 days after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. In four patients who received a mRNA vaccination, we identified acute (epi-)myocarditis without detection of another significant disease or health constellation that may have caused an unexpected death.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

The study concluded that not only does mRNA cause myocarditis (swelling of the heart), but it also causes epicarditis (the German study calls it [epi-]myocarditis)! This is significant, because epicarditis is hard to diagnose and usually associated with Adult Still’s Disease. Epicarditis is the inflammation of the visceral epicardium, which is critical in maintaining a healthy heart. It literally protects and repairs the heart, unless ‘something’ invades this outer layer and destroys it! The epicardium is also referred to as the ‘serous pericardium’.

Study more about epicarditis here: The Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in the Development of Atrial Fibrillation, Coronary Artery Disease and Chronic Heart Failure

Image explaining basics of how T-cells are supposed to work.

The damage to the heart was the result of white blood cells, known as CD4+/T-cells (T-lymphocytic, aka CD4+ T lymphocytes, aka ‘Helper Cells’), to flood into the epicardium/serous pericardium: “Histology showed patchy interstitial myocardial , T-lymphocytic infiltration, predominantly of the CD4 positive subset, associated with mild myocyte damage.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

But wait, there is more; this study revealed that epicarditis/(epi-)myocarditis has also been connected to influenza (flu) and smallpox vaccinations: “Cases of (epi-)myocarditis have previously been documented after immunization against smallpox or influenza in the vaccine adverse events reporting system.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

Here’s is more for you to chew on: “Cardiac autopsy findings consistent with (epi-)myocarditis were found in five cases of the remaining 25 bodies found unexpectedly dead at home within 20 days following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. ….Three of the deceased persons were women, two men. Median age at death was 58 years (range 46–75 years). Four persons died after the first vaccine jab, the remaining case after the second dose. All persons died within the first week following vaccination…. ….Person 1 was found dead 12 h after the vaccination. A witness described a rattling breath shortly before discovering circulatory failure. Person 2 complained about nausea and was found dead soon thereafter. Resuscitation was started immediately but without success, respectively. The other persons were found dead at home without available information about terminal symptoms. According to the available information provided at the time of autopsies, none of the deceased persons had SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to vaccination and nasopharyngeal swabs were negative in all cases.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

In April, the DEA’s Arizona operations collected 8-thousand-215 pounds which brings the 2022 total to more than 8-tons! It was all part of the never ending Drug Take Back Day operations. This begs the question, why did so many people get so many prescriptions, and why don’t the doctors get suspicious (or are they the problem)?

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Maintaining your Gazelle, the Serbian way!

Video December 4, 2022 Hutchins AAron

The Aérospatiale Gazelle was designed and built by NATO ‘partner’ France, from 1967 to 1996. France was one of the founders of NATO, but in 1966 France supposedly withdrew from full membership. French officials wanted a change in NATO’s command structure. Apparently NATO gave in, and in 2009 France officially rejoined NATO.

Photo via Ministry of Defense of Republic of Serbia, released 10NOV2018.

At least three variants were produced, known as SA 340, SA 341 and SA 342. The Gazelle was not only used by NATO members, but by non-NATO members, and even countries that were/are considered enemies of NATO, like ‘East Bloc’ Yugoslavia/Serbia (Yugoslavia was not part of the Warsaw Pact, but was considered a pro-Soviet East Bloc country by NATO).

During the Cold War, Yugoslavia’s aviation manufacturer, the now defunct SOKO (not to be confused with NATO Spain’s Soko Aviation), license built the Gazelle. Since the collapse of Yugoslavia, Serbia’s military aircraft are produced/rebuilt by Airforce Plant ‘Moma Stanojlović’, which is capable of producing almost every part needed.

The SA-341/342 Gazelle is known in Serbia as the HN-42 Gama.

In 1995(July?), ethnic Serb forces (Army of Republika Srpska) captured several NATO-Netherlands (Royal Netherland Army) armored personnel carriers, which were ‘in-country’ under a United Nations operation. Of course, the Western-NATO news media reported that they were “stolen”.

Two years later, in March 1997, NATO-United States forces made a true ‘barn-find’ when they discovered the ‘AWOL’ (Absent With Out Leave) YPR-765 (a variant of the M113) in a barn/garage in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Of course, the U.S. military referred to the barn/garage as a “weapon storage site”.

The U.S. Army (USA) press release also stated they were “confiscating” the YPR-765, referring to it as a Serb Army weapon, and adding that it made multiple confiscations in the first few months of the start of the SFor (Stabilization Force) mission.

The USA press releases also contradicted themselves when giving the location, sometimes saying it was Karakaj, sometimes saying it was Zvornik. Zvornik is a city in the Republika Srpska area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Karakaj is a town north of Zvornik.

Yes, Virginia, steel will burn!

A captured Serbian T-55 awaits destruction by C-4 ‘plastic’ explosives, and thermite grenades, in the field artillery area of Camp Dobol, Bosnia & Herzegovina. U.S. Army (USA) photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

Planks of C-4 plastic explosive duct-taped to the turret ring, just wanted to see what would happen. USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

C-4 was placed inside the turret. The next day, Thermite was placed in the barrel, engine, and transmission. USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

Boom! USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

Apparently, the C-4 plastic in the turret was set-off first. USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

Is it safe to install the Thermite? USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 15MAR1997.

Thermite grenades placed on the ‘powerpack’ (motor/transmission), then mud was packed on top in the hopes it would direct the thermite plasma downward. USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, 16MAR1997.

The Thermite was set-off next. In the foreground you can see the hands operating an electrical blasting/firing device. You can see the electrical cord leading into the main gun barrel, to set-off the Thermite. USA photo by Sergeant Angel Clemons, photo is dated 16MAR1997.

Cold War Battle Damage: Steel Infernos of Desert Storm

Image November 28, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

Operation Desert Storm, 17JAN1991–28FEB1991

Just a smattering of armor destruction from Desert Storm:

A shot-up Iraqi Faun Herkules, hauling a ZSU-23-4, failed at trying to escape Kuwait via the Basra-Kuwait Highway. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer’s Mate Holmes, 28JAN1991.

Iraq used a lot of Soviet and Chinese armored ground vehicles, including both the T-55 and Type 69-2. The Chinese Type 69 series is the result of combining hull parts of a T-62 and a T-54, then adding an infrared spotlight and laser range finder over the main gun mantlet, and headlight groups on the both fenders. The Type 69 retained the roof mounted ventilator of the T-54. Early versions of the Type 69 series did not have the turret mounted stowage racks, which were actually a stand-off armor design that doubled as stowage racks. The main gun of the Type 69-1 was a Chinese designed 100mm with smooth-bore (bore evacuators on the guns varied in their position), the Type 69-2 has a 100mm rifled bore. The Type 69-2 had fender skirts, but it seems that most of the Iraqi Type 69s did not use the skirts.

Destroyed Chinese made Iraqi Type 69 (indicated by the T-62 style rear end) inside Kuwait. Photographer unknown, photo dated 01FEB1991.

This shows the squared-off butt of a Soviet built T-55. Photographer unknown, dated 01FEB1991.

This appears to be a T-55 with skirts. No evidence of turret top ventilator, no laser ranger, no stand-off/stowage racks. The Iraqis did modify their vehicles. Photographer unknown, dated 01FEB1991.
