U.S. Food Crisis: Food hand-outs now include Gun Locks? More proof you need to grow your own! U.S. Army preps for Soylent Green?

Video

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main stream news links announcing United States food supply shutdowns, emergencies, outbreaks and recalls as of 23 April 2022:

Hungry U.S. Sailors onboard USS Ross (DDG 71) go through a pallet of food delivered by the French ship FS Marne (A 630) on 02APR2022. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Second Class Claire DuBois.

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

“Supply chains are pivotal in the production of both military and civilian products and technologies. Our team looked at two questions; a: How do you assess the impacts of supply chain disruptions on the manufacturing bottom line and product availability to consumers, and b: How do you mitigate supply chain disruption and increase their ability to recover, particularly when the various secondary or tertiary contributors to a supply chain are poorly characterized?”-Igor Linkov, senior scientific technical manager for U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory

Image via U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development.

The U.S. Army inadvertently admitted that supply chain problems blamed on The Pandemic are actually because the global supply system became a ‘just-in-time’ system (based on the Japanese system) operated by A-I and robots, which has proven to be a failure when something unexpected like government pandemic mandates, or other catastrophes, strikes.

The Japanese just-in-time supply system has proven itself to be a failure time and time again, every time Japan experiences some kind of natural disaster.  Yet, the globalized supply operation adopted the just-in-time system, along with A-I and robots, because it creates huge profits by supposedly reducing the need for massive warehouse operations, at least that is what was thought.  Since governments began panicking over The Pandemic and implementing pandemic mandates, which directly affected the globalized supply system, it has been realized (ironically) that in order to deal with natural and human-made catastrophes the globalized just-in-time system needs even more warehouse operations than before the just-in-time system was adopted: “In both retail and manufacturing, we see businesses abandoning the dominant lean, Just-in-Time, low-inventory, procurement-led supply chain model. With increasing risk from events such as, Covid, Brexit, trade friction with China, flooded Taiwanese chip-makers, and the Suez Canal blockage, businesses are facing greater uncertainty and are looking to build resilience into their supply chains. And that means holding more inventory, which in turn puts further pressure on available warehouse space.”-Logistics Manager, 26APR2021

Concerned about being able to get the supplies it needs to produce its own Pandemic nano-vaccines, the U.S. Army’s ERDC-Environmental Laboratory studied how the current just-in-time supply chain could adversely affect nano-vaccine production: “We have tried to attract attention to the problem that in manufacturing nano-enabled products, supply chain operations are foundational logistical challenges that require careful governance. We tried to look at how supply chain works for nano-enabled products and use this as a way to illustrate the importance of resilience and efficiency in supply chains.”-Benjamin Trump, U.S. Army ERDC-Environmental Laboratory

World War 3 Vehicle I-D: China makes surprise(?) delivery of military aid to Russian ally, using new Y-20!

Paratroopers jump from a perfectly good Y20, 17FEB2022. People’s Liberation Army photo by Liu Bingbing.

Video report, dated 03MAR2022, showing Y-20 airborne operations:

South China Morning Post/Associated Press reports that on 10APR2022, the People’s Liberation Army-Air Force flew six of their relatively new Y20 transport aircraft, through NATO airspace (Turkey and Bulgaria), packed with military equipment, to the traditional ally of Russia; Serbia.

PLA photo by Su Feng, 26APR2021.

The report claims the six Y-20s delivered Chinese made HQ-22/FK-3 antiaircraft missile systems.  Communist China’s Y-20s landed at the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade. Associated Press says Serbian officials refused to comment.

PLA photo by Liu Shu, 04JAN2021.

The Serbian government purchased the HQ-22/FK-3 missile system in 2019, the United States government protested the purchase in 2020.

PLA photo by Liu Shu, 04JAN2021.

China claims the shipment of the HQ-22/FK-3 system, using six fuel guzzling air-transports, was just about delivering “regular military supplies”.

Interestingly, in the past day Serbia has announced intentions to buy fighter-jets from NATO France and drones from NATO Turkey.

In this video report, dated 07MAR2022, a Y-20 pilot states that civilian airports in China must be ‘upgraded’ to support military aircraft, in the name of disaster response:

The Y-20 made its first flight in 2013 and reported for duty with the PLA-Air Force on 06JUL2016. Video report dated 26JAN2022, about the 9th Anniversary of the Y-20’s first flight:

The Y-20 has also made global deliveries of China’s anti-Pandemic vaccine, as well as other Pandemic “prevention and control materials”.

U.S. World War Two documentary says Ukraine & Crimea are Russian!

Video

During World War Two, the United States government commissioned the creation of an anti-German/Japanese documentary called Why We Fight, supervised by Hollywood legend Frank Capra.  The first episode focused on explaining the military history of Russia leading up to the Second World War.  This included the Battle of Poltava, Poltava is a major city in Ukraine. It also mentions the Russian state of Ukraine and the Crimea during the First World War, saying “And only the ultimate collapse of Imperial Germany saved Russia from losing the Ukraine and Crimea.”

Here is an excerpt from the first episode of Why We Fight, up to the Battle of Poltava:

Here is an excerpt from the first episode of Why We Fight, including the part where it is stated that Ukraine and Crimea are Russian, and ends by saying “Yes, for seven hundred years Russian people have had to fight, to defend their land against would be conquerors. Why? Why have all these attempts been made to conquer Russia?”:

In this excerpt, Why We Fight explains the true reason why Russia is the target of global control freaks; natural resources:

Why We Fight also focuses on the people of Russia, referencing Ukraine and its residents as “Little Russians”:

The Why We Fight documentary series was the result of the U.S. Congress voting to force men into the military by drafting them (yes, despite what we are told, at least half the people of the U.S. were anti-war).  Through their own surveys, the U.S. War Department knew that even with a draft they would have a hard time building their forces, so they commissioned Hollywood to create a propaganda film series called Why We Fight.

Today, why do they still fight over Russia/Ukraine?
