NATO Response Force: Just the beginning? Ukraine realizes it’s a conspiracy, part of an evil joint NATO-Russian plan to bring back the Iron Curtain!!!

Recent NATO reaction to Russia-Ukraine Crisis, from 01MAR2022 to 17MAR2022:

The first ever deployment of the NATO Response Force has just been assigned a year to its title: NATO Response Force 2022, indicating there will be more deployments past the Gregorian year 2022.

On 16MAR2022, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin the Third and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg meet (again) at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss their plans against Russia. The day’s meeting also included the defense ministers of non-NATO countries of Finland, Georgia, Sweden and Ukraine. It also included reps from the European Union, which just happens to also be based in Brussels, Belgium. There are reports that Sweden and Finland might join NATO.

Also on 16MAR2022, NATO U.S. President Joe Biden’s promise of ‘unprecedented’ deliveries of antiaircraft systems to Ukraine actually involves U.S. taxpayers buying NATO Slovakia’s Russian made (ironic) S-300 system (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble), and giving it to Ukraine!

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin the Third just met with Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger, 17MAR2022, concerning the Biden plan to spend U.S. taxes on buying NATO Slovakia’s Russian made S-300 antiaircraft missile system, and then give it to Ukraine! Slovakian officials say they will agree to the deal if only NATO replaces the S-300 antiaircraft system with a new antiaircraft system.

17MAR2022, NATO Croat MiG-21s are now flying ‘air policing’ operations alongside U.S. Air Force F-16s out of NATO Italy.

On 17MAR2022, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a live video speech to the German Bundestag, in which he essentially says he now realizes Ukraine was just a pawn, that the reason why the West/NATO dragged their feet on helping Ukraine was that there is a conspiracy between Russia and NATO to bring back the Cold War era Iron Curtain. He specifically used the word “wall” and said the true goal is to create a new “divided Europe”:

Pandēmus Totalitarian: Idaho deploys National Guard into prisons!

March 17, 2022 Hutchins AAron

“We thank you for everything you’re doing for our staff and residents. Before the Idaho National Guard arrived, at one point we were down to 48% staffing. We realize this is a unique and uncertain environment, but you’ve provided a solid cadre of troops and we couldn’t ask for a better group at such a critical time.”-Warden Timothy Richardson, Idaho Department of Corrections

On 31JAN2022, the exalted gov’na Brad Little ordered the Idaho Army National Guard into state prisons!

At least 75 (various reports give differing numbers, some say 30 are going to State Corrections while others say 75, while others say the original 75 were split between prisons and hospitals but also say the State hired hundreds more Pandemic personnel) State Militia personnel are now working for the Idaho Department of Corrections facilities. It is part of Little’s fourth deployment order, made on 31JAN2022, to help out private sector hospitals with taxpayer funded workers! The private sector hospitals, and it turns out Idaho’s own prison system, claim the Pandemic has caused huge staffing shortages.

The Idaho Army National Guard’s current Pandemic mission is expected to conclude before the end of the month.

World War 3: Japan sides with United States & Ukraine, has never made peace with Russia!

Video March 17, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Many people don’t know that Japan and the Soviet Union never made peace with each other after the Second World War (which Japan started years before Germany fired a shot). Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991/92, Russian and Japanese officials could not bring themselves to settle their differences regarding the territorial disputes as a result of the end of the Second World War.

For the past decade, Russia has built-up military forces on islands that are almost a stone’s throw from Hokkaido.

On 16MAR2022, Japan threw its hat into the Ukraine Crisis ring, on the side of Ukraine, sending a shipment of supplies onboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globmaster-3.

Pacific Ring of Fire: Alaska volcano monitoring goes dark!

March 16, 2022 Hutchins AAron

16 March 2022 (15:08-UTC-07 Tango 06) 25 Esfand 1400/12 Sha’ban 1443/14 Gui Mao 4720

“A severe interruption to a regional telecommunication link in King Salmon has resulted in the loss of data flow from seismic stations at nine volcanoes in the Katmai region and northern Alaska Peninsula over the past weeks. As a result, AVO can no longer seismically monitor the volcanoes listed below. Thus, we are unable to assess whether these volcanoes are at their normal background state, or to quickly confirm or dismiss reports of activity at these volcanoes.”–Alaska Volcano Observatory Information Statement, 16MAR2022

On the same day the Japan got a redux on its March 2011 quake/tsunami, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) revealed that it had lost connection with its volcano monitoring system in Alaska. What’s more sinister, USGS lost the connection to its volcano monitors several weeks prior!

List of volcanoes now ‘in the dark’: Griggs, Katmai, Mageik, Martin, Novarupta, Snowy Mountain, Trident, Ugashik-Peulik, Ukinrek-Maars.

On 01FEB2022, the ‘Hound Battalion’ of the ‘Spartan Brigade’ got new upgraded M2A4s.

USA photo by Sergeant Trenton Lowery, 01FEB2022.

U.S. Army video interview, 01FEB2022, Lieutenant Colonel Mario Iglesias explains what is new about the new M2A4 Bradley:

It should be noted that profits made from the sale of Bradleys goes to the British empire, as the Bradley, once made by a U.S. company, is now made by United Kingdom’s BAE Systems. BAE began to aggressively take over U.S. defense companies in 2001, the same year that the undeclared War on Terror began.

Then on 11MAR2022, the Hound Battalion got new upgraded M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams battle tanks.

The Spartan Brigade has been chosen to become the most modernized U.S. Army combat unit, by 2023.

This is a ‘dramatic’ U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division video, from July 2020, explaining the new M1A2 SEPv3:

M1 Abrams are currently made at the Lima Army Tank Plant, currently under contract with U.S. based General Dynamics Land Systems.

In January 2022, the AUKUS member Australia revealed plans to upgrade their M1A2 Abrams tanks to SEPv3 condition.

On 17FEB2022, the U.S. Department of State’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency published an update of plans to allow NATO Poland to buy 250 M1A2 SEPv3.

Video I edited from the late 1960s U.S. Army’s The Big Picture film to focus on the M109, and a sneak peak at what was then the experimental M109A1 (complete with fake artillery sound effects):

Another video I edited from The Big Picture about the USA 3rd Armored Division in NATO Germany, late 1960s, showing the short barreled M109 (there was no nat-sound, and the narration is terrible so I edited it out):

Silent USA film by ‘Jensen’, M109 action Khe Sanh area, Viet Nam, August 1970:

With the M109A1, the short M126 barrel was replaced with the long M185 cannon. From A1 through A4 series there is no visual difference, the upgrades being internal. If you’ll notice, some photos show a protruding panoramic periscope, while others do not, and it does not matter if it is an A1, A2, A3 or A4. The A5 variant got a more powerful motor, and a new M284 gun of apparently the same length as the M185, visually similar to its predecessors.

In the mid-1970s, the U.S. Army (USA) turned a M108/109 into a fake-news ZSU-23-4 for use in the testing of a U.S. Air Force (USAF) ground vehicle identification/targeting program. It was seen again, very briefly, in a ReForGer (Return of Forces to Germany) wargame, where European tank-o-philes speculated that the USA had created a new anti-aircraft tank.

By 2019, a new, so called, M109 began arriving for duty with the U.S. Army (USA). In 2021, Army National Guard units began getting their new ‘M109s’. Many military armchair ‘experts’ who get paid to write articles for military themed journals call the ‘A7’ an “upgrade” of the A6. I do not consider the new M109A7 Paladin to be an ‘upgrade’, nor do I consider it to be a true M109 as it uses a completely new hull/chassis that is based on the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, as well as a completely new gun system.

Even in 2021, U.S. Department of Defense media personnel still get it wrong! This video, posted on 09JUN2021, shows Royal Moroccan M109s, obviously the A1 through A5 type, yet it was labeled as “Royal Moroccan Armed Forces Paladin” (the A6 is the true Paladin).

BSU’s Institute for Pervasive Cybersecurity is using the Open XDR Platform created by a company called Stellar Cyber (interview with co-founder of Steller Cyber, who blames Pandemic fearmongering mandates for the sudden skyrocketing use of Cyber Domes). The official reason for this Cyberdome program is to provide rural areas with cyber security, but the program will also offer ‘free’ (state taxpayer funded) cyber security to more than 750 state taxpayer funded agencies (Idaho instituted a federal taxpayer funded Department of Defense cybersecurity operation through its National Guard several years ago and it does not have a good track record of halting cyber crimes).

BSU’s Cyberdome operation will be staffed by students, and supposedly is funded by grant money, at least until 2024 or 2025. In July 2021, the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission’s Higher Education Research Council granted BSU $700-thousand per year for at least three years, to create and operate a Cyberdome program. Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission is part of the Higher Education Research Council, which in turn is part of the state taxpayer funded Idaho Board of Education. The ‘grant money’ comes from taxpayers.

Maybe it is a coincidence, but in December 2021 the U.S. Cyber Command, and Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division, conducted joint CyberDome operations within the U.S., for the sixth time! According to The Times of Israel, just weeks before the 2021 joint operation with the U.S., Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division also conducted a CyberDome operation that involved ‘simulated’ cyber attacks against the financial institutions of ten countries!

It turns out there are Cyberdome operations everywhere, some presented as government operations, some as private sector operations, there’s even a non-profit Cyberdome led by former U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials that helps ‘protect’ politicians in the United States (it’s called US CyberDome)!

United Arab Emirates based ISnSC claims to have an autonomous Cyber Dome, which can integrate with XDR.

Finland based Nokia has an 5G XDR they call NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome.

There is a CyberDome operation in the African country of Nigeria, and it turns out it is the same CyberDome operation based in Israel!

Bynet Communications in Israel, claims it designed CyberDome. But as you’ll see below, another Israeli company also makes that claim.

In the country of India, the Kerala Police have their own ‘joint’ private/public funded Cyberdome operation.

Israeli Cyber-Dome is the developer of the security add-on Magen. Magen is a security layer that claims to lower the risk of being spied on or having personal data stolen.
