Long before Donald Trump became President, the U.S./NATO has been fighting Border Wars.

Here is just a sampling of videos:

On 04SEP2025, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations, U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, FBI, DEA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol), U.S. Bureau of Alcohol-Tobacco-Firearms and Explosives, IRS, and the Georgia State Patrol executed a federal search warrant on Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in Ellabell, Georgia. 475 illegals (mainly Koreans) were found to be working in the automotive factory. Korea based Hyundai now faces charges of illegal employment practices and other potential federal crimes:

From September 22rd through 24th, 2025, the Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) conducted their Air, Space & Cyber Conference.  The conference took place in the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland.  The theme of the military dominated conference was, of course, ‘Achieving Decisive Advantage in an Age of Growing Threats’.

I edited together highlight videos (via Staff Sergeant Anthony Nin Leclerec and Tenelle Marshall) recorded on 23SEP2025. It is clearly stated that the cyberspace, which the public takes for granted, is now the primary ‘National Security’ concern:

In September 2025, the first ever State Sniper Qualifier on Raymond Rees National Guard Training Center and Boardman Training Area was conducted. It is a three-day, nine-stage competition challenging participants with complex problem-solving scenarios testing marksmanship, decision-making, and adaptability under time pressure, going beyond traditional range training.

On 05AUG2012, Idaho Air Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing (FW) invited their families to the Saylor Creek Range, for a family day and a demonstration of the A-10C Thunderbolt-2.

Officially, it was called ‘Kin Appreciation Day’.

The A-10C demonstration also included Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) calling in the air-strikes.

UNSC, year one: 1946 Iran-Soviet Problem! Actually covert U.S. occupation plans for Iran?

UNSC = United Nations Security Council

The UNSC was ostensibly created to enforce ‘global peace’ with the first test of the UNSC being considered successful, but decades later it proved to be a covert U.S. operation to control Iran!

The United Nations was originally known as the United Nations Organization, aka UNO.

1946 U.S. Armed Forces map of Iran, with the disputed Azerbaijan Province highlighted, and text referring to the UNO policy towards Iran.

The ‘western’ push for controlling Iran’s oil reserves actually began during World War Two, at least as early as 1944: New York Times, October 1944; Iran’s oil problem revived by Russia…  but Americans also are involved. 

It might be the true reason for the Cold War: COLD WAR IN IRAN: THE POLITICS OF OIL

Allied Relations in Iran, 1941-1947: The Origins of a Cold War Crisis

From March through April 1946 the newly created UNSC dealt with its first international problem: British controlled Iran demanding Soviet troops to leave Iran’s Azerbaijan Province.

At that time there was no United Nations building, so the first ever UNSC meetings took place at Hunter College in New York:

The problem was resolved by the Soviets ‘voluntarily’ withdrawing troops in May 1946:

Supposedly the true reason for Soviets leaving Iran was that U.S. President Harry Truman threatened to drop atom bombs on the Soviet troops!

This is a political cartoon by Clifford Kennedy Berryman depicting Truman threatening Soviet ambassador Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko.

Decades later, publicly released U.S. Central Intelligence Group (direct predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, aka CIA) documents proved the UNSC Iran-Soviet problem to be a covert operation by the United States to expel Soviet troops from Iran for the purpose of allowing U.S. control of Iran and regional oil fields!

80 years later, the game is still being played.

Celebrate Blackfoot, 2025!

Video

The City of Blackfoot held its Celebrate Blackfoot (aka Blackfoot Pride Days) event, 27-28JUN2025.  The event has been a yearly thing for more than a decade (except during the hyperbolic ‘pland-emic’).  Note that Chamber of Commerce officials estimate that between 8-thousand and 10-thousand people attend the annual event and consider the City has an official federal Census population of only 13,380!

Most everybody loves firetrucks:

My ‘short-form’ YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sBFxw-TlZOw

Many, many years ago the celebration supposedly started out as a community clean-up day, then evolved into three days of various events. Sometime in the late two thousand teens (maybe in 2020? Pland-emic times) the name was changed from Blackfoot Pride Days to Celebrate Blackfoot.

Normally, the events center around the pond known as Jensen Grove and of course involves several water-sporting events, but not this year.  There was so much water running high and fast in the nearby Snake River that the diversion dam, which feeds Jensen Grove, was undermined and had to be shutdown.

The only water in the pond is coming from a local canal which doesn’t provide enough to fill Jensen Grove. The City estimates it’ll cost them short of $200-thousand to fix the diversion dam.

Hungry?:

There was still a lot of vendors (especially food), a cool car show…

and of course the fireworks show!

After the fireworks the mass exodus begins.
