Nuclear helicopters spotted in Wyoming?

Does the ‘N’ in UH-1N mean nuclear?  Maybe it does if you’re part of an elite USAF team training to protect the transport of nuclear ballistic missiles.

In yet more proof that we’ve returned to a Cold War mindset, training missions are being conducted in Wyoming, in which swarms of UH-1N ‘Huey’s fly ballistic missile convoy protect missions.

The 37th Helicopter Squadron, based at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, “…supports emergency war order taskings, by transporting tactical response force teams in support of launch facility denial and recapture and convoy operations.”

The now chapter 11 bankrupt busted Wisconsin based Shopko announced more store shutdowns, including almost every store in the Pacific northwest/Rocky Mountain state of Idaho.

20190208_160943

The Chubbuck Shopko, located on the Pine Ridge Mall property (and incorrectly listed as being in next-door Pocatello), is shutting down by May 2019.

20190208_160845

Shopko’s latest shutdown list also includes two stores in Boise, one in Bonners Ferry, Nampa, Orofino, and Twin Falls.  Apparently pharmacy operations have already shutdown, being auctioned-off to British empire United Kingdom owned Alliance Boots-Walgreens as a result of the bankruptcy.

At this point the Idaho Falls Shopko is not on the shutdown list, but it should be noted that in January 2019 Shopko administrators said only 105 stores would close permanently, with three being in Idaho’s Treasure Valley area, but now it’s more than 250 stores nationwide!

At one time there were 12 Shopko stores in The Gem State of Idaho.

“Stop incentivizing illegal immigration”!: Immigrant Invasion, United States, January 2019

Video

Incomplete list of immigrant operations affecting the United States taxpayers, January 2019.

More proof it’s about making money: $11 toothpaste: Immigrants pay big for basics at private run ICE lock-ups

And more proof it’s about saving money: “… a group of protesters who were denouncing President Trump’s immigration policies. They were waving Mexican flags and shouting, ‘¡Si, se puede!’ (‘Yes, we can!’)

Unbeknownst to the protesters, the expression ‘Si, se puede’ was a saying of Cesar Chavez’s. When Chavez, the founder of the United Farm Workers union, used the expression ‘Yes, we can,’ he meant something entirely different: ‘Yes, we can’ seal the borders. He hated illegal immigration. Chavez explained, ‘As long as we have a poor country bordering California, it’s going to be very difficult to win strikes.’ Why? Farmers are willing to hire low-wage immigrants here illegally. Chavez had allies in his protest against the hiring of undocumented workers and lax enforcement of immigration laws. Included in one of his protest marches were Democratic Sen. Walter Mondale and a longtime Martin Luther King Jr. aide, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy.”

U.S. Coast Guard intercepted these 70 illegal immigrants near Haiti, 06JAN2018.

USAF Reserve delivers 8-thousand pounds of taxpayer funded aid to Guatemala, 08JAN2019.  Guatemala is one of the countries trying to flood the U.S. with illegal immigrants.

Taxpayer funded U.S. military personnel help build new police outposts along the Pan-American Highway in Panama, 11-17JAN2019, scouting for traffickers of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants.

History Lesson: The ancient Roman army and navy was initially staffed by native born citizens, which helped turn the Republic into a global empire.  But later as the empire crumbled, one of the signs the empire was a failed state was the reliance on immigrants, especially from areas of the world that were considered enemies.  Even in the Roman military immigrants became commanding officers, and it was one of those officers that led the destruction of three Roman legions at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest: “Arminius had acquired Roman citizenship and had received a Roman military education, which enabled him to deceive the Roman commander methodically and anticipate the Roman army’s tactical responses.”

At the end of December the U.S. Navy launched a new recruiting campaign using Swarming Teams.  The focus is on recruiting immigrants because the USN is being built-up to a 355 ship organization and they’re going to need anybody they can get to sail those ships: “I immigrated from the Dominican Republic as a child and grew up in New York, so being in Miami is great because I speak Spanish and that helps a lot.”-Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class Jonathan Urraca

“Being a Columbian-American and being a woman helps in recruiting, because recently I was able to speak with a mother who didn’t understand much about the Navy, and getting through that language barrier really helped ease her concerns about the Navy.”– Master-At-Arms 3rd Class Lina Marcella-Arce

“The first Swarm has exceeded our expectations, but where the rubber meets the road is in four to five months where we can see if people’s interest turn into contracts.”-Captain Matthew Boren
