Nebraska KC-135 Teenaged Nose Art

Nebraska Air National Guard photo by Staff Sergeant Mary Thach, 08AUG2015.

“I consider myself an artist. I’ve been taking art ever since elementary school and into high school. I’ve been doing a lot of shows, school conferences, art districts and open theater.”-Mariah Harm

In 2015, then Stapleton (population just over 300) High School senior Mariah Harm designed artwork for the Nebraska Air National Guard’s Community Nose Art Program, which ended up on a KC-135R Stratotanker of the 155th Air Refueling Wing.

“That is to represent how business and agriculture come together. In Stapleton, that’s a big deal. Agriculture and business are a big part of our little town. I chose the silhouette of the horses in the background because we do a lot of horse work and cattle work. One of the main parts of my design was a handshake, because the symbolism of a handshake is equality, trust, it’s a fair deal. It shows everybody that you’re working to do (some) good.”

Of course it doesn’t hurt that Mariah’s father started the Nebraska Community Nose Art Program, 11 years prior.

America Spread Thin: West Asia, March 2018

West Asia, or as the U.S. Department of Defense calls it Southwest Asia.  Iran, Iraq and Turkey are sometimes considered part of West Asia and sometimes Central Asia.  I consider Iraq and Turkey part of West Asia and Iran is part of Central Asia.

On 13MAR2018, the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, British empire’s New Zealand Army, and the British empire’s Australian Army joined together with Iraqi ‘security forces’ (puppet paramilitaries) Forward Air Control trainees to promote the concept of combined air/ground ops: “Our goal is to help demonstrate the capacities of attack rotary wing assets and show the effectiveness of operating jointly with air and ground maneuver elements.”-Major Warren Green, assistant future operations officer (yep, that was part of his title given in the news release)

In Syria, a U.S. Master Sergeant was killed by a land mine (‘roadside bomb’) along with a British empire Red Coat.  U.S. ops in Syria began under the Obama regime.  Up until now the United Kingdom’s monarchy controlled Ministry of Defence refused to confirm that Red Coats were operating in Syria. The incident apparently happened the same day that U.S. president Donald Trump stated, at a rally in Ohio, “We’re knockin’ the hell outta ISIS, we’ll be coming outta there very soon. Let the other people take care of it now.”

“It’s easier to train a fire fighter that has swift water training to ride on the hoist than it is to train an Army hoist operator to become swift water qualified.”-Mike Barbero, Boise firefighter and Army National Guard pilot

The Idaho Army National Guard spent the first week of April conducting joint rescue training with the city of Boise’s fire department.  The helicopter hoist training event was the result of a February 2017 rescue of a man stranded by flooding in the town of Weiser, in which the National Guard and Boise Fire Department cooperated.

That 2017 rescue revealed the Boise Fire Department dive/swift water rescue team did not have helicopter hoist training and as a result National Guard personnel conducted the hoist rescue.

“This joint training that the Guard provides Boise Fire with is highly specialized and it provides the unique opportunity to learn techniques that could save a life. This training solidifies what we need to know to be successful in helicopter rescue scenarios.”-Paul Roberts, Boise Fire Department

NATO Turkey joins Russia? Where’s western outrage over Turkey going nuclear?

05APR2018 (00:30 UTC-07 Tango 06)  16 Farvardin 1397/19 Rajab 1439/20 Bing-Chen 4716

Not only has Turkey given up on its attempt to join the European Union (EU) but it’s looking more and more like Turkey is about to get the hell outta NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

On 04APR2018 Iran, Russia and Turkey held a tripartite summit to discuss what will happen to Syria, now that DAIISH is defeated.  U.S. president Donald Trump didn’t attend the conference and simply stated that the United States would be leaving Syria “very soon” (which seemed to be news to the Department of State and Department of Defense).

U.S. news media made sure the taxpayers of United States knew about the Syria Conference that didn’t involve the U.S., but failed to mention things like Turkey buying Russian made weapon systems and even getting help from Russia to go nuclear.

Turkey’s own news media reported that not only is Turkey buying the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, but that Russia will attempt to deliver it sooner than originally agreed to. This happened the day before the tripartite summit concerning Syria, and it should be noted that NATO administrators complained that Turkey never told them about the deal with Russia saying “We have relayed our concerns to Turkish officials regarding the potential purchase of the S-400.” 

Ground breaking for the Akkuyu power plant, 03APR2018

They also made a deal concerning the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project, with Russian president Vladimir Putin saying its was a new level of cooperation between Turkey and Russia.

You could partly blame the new partnership on the increasing ‘western’ sanctions against Russia, because that new level of cooperation is being motivated by money: “Russia has become the third export market for Turkey after Germany and China. Turkey has become our seventh basic commercial partner.”-Russian president Vladimir Putin

“Our trade volume has surpassed $22 billion dollars with a 32% increase, according to our calculations compared to the previous year. Our goal is to reach $100 billion.”-Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Also in the works are two natural gas pipelines from Russia to Turkey, called TurkStream.  One of the lines is meant to circumvent NATO controlled Ukraine to provide Europe with much needed gas.

Gun Ban Fail: More drive by shootings hit anti-gun London! ‘Sheeple’ beg for police state stop & search ops!

“All you have done is blame everyone and everything else. You are the mayor and you control the budget. 12 people dead in 19 days in London!”-unnamed Social Media post

Just days after the British empire’s anti-gun United Kingdom city of London beat out New York City for murders, more random drive-by-shootings and stabbings.

In the Tottingham area of London, a 17 years old girl was shot and killed as she sat with friends Monday night.  Witnesses say the shot came from a car driving by.

In the Walthamstow area of London, a 16 years old boy was shot and later died in the hospital, while a second boy was stabbed and wounded.

Police have not arrested anybody in connection with the latest shootings/stabbings.

On Sunday night a 20 years old man was stabbed to death in the Wadsworth area of London, becoming the city’s 31st knifing victim this year.  Besides strict anti-gun laws the U.K. also regulates knife ownership. 

Last week the family of a man killed after being shot stated “gun culture is becoming rampant in our community”, despite strict anti-gun laws.

Interestingly, as I was looking at Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) violent crime data, gun and knife attacks are still well below 2007 levels, but London police (and their supporters) have not only blamed Social Media but are now blaming the Mayor of London for reduced funding for police, which has resulted in less police personnel to patrol the streets.

In fact, many critics of the Mayor used Social Media to blame him for the increase in violent crime and even begged for a return to police-state stop and search ops: “Time for you to stop young people dying and encourage effective and fair stop and search #onyourwatch.” (ain’t it pathetic?)

People shouldn’t blame the current Mayor of London as violent crime across England and Wales has been shooting up since 2015!  Notice that coincides with the increased inflow of immigrants and supposed war refugees.
