During the 1990s, following the end of the non-declared/non-official Cold War, the United States held a yearly massive NATO wargame called Roving Sands, in New Mexico.

One of the many oddities that made an appearance at these war games was the U.S. military’s “The Dud Scud”; a 5-ton dump-truck (some of the info says duce-n-a-half, other info says 5-ton) with ballistic missile looking things mounted on top of the dump-bed. Scud is the NATO reporting name for a Soviet tactical ballistic missile launcher system.

Of course the Dud Scud doesn’t look anything like a real Scud, they were just meant to simulate a generic ballistic missile launcher.
The Dud Scuds were positioned at various locations across Fort Sumner, New Mexico. USAF photo by Sergeant Nicole Snell, 29APR1995.
Because of the experience of having to hunt down Iraqi Scuds during Desert Storm, NATO exercise Roving Sands incorporated such a scenario into the yearly wargame.

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The U.S. National Archives makes available a lot of cool imagery, but unfortunately a lot of the info issued with it is wrong. Can’t blame the National Archives, they simply repost what was given to them, so a lot of the ‘false’ info actually comes from the source; the U.S. Department of Defense. The following is a case-in-point; photos of Cold War era Exercise Gangbuster #11 show both F-4C Phantom-2s and F-105G Thunderchief ‘Wild Weasels’, it lists both aircraft as being with the “128th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 116th Tactical Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guardsmen”. For the record, the F-4s are part of the Texas Air National Guard but not the 128th TFS/116th TFW, the F-4Cs belong to the 182nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, 149th Tactical Fighter Wing. The F-105Gs are part of the 128th TFS/116th TFW, which is Georgia Air National Guard. In some photos the obvious belly of an F-105G is shown, yet the info says it is an F-4 Phantom II. Also, the exalted U.S. Air Force/National Guard info calls the F-105 the “Delta Dart”! Maybe this was an attempt to deceive the Soviets?

Gangbuster XI took place on Stewart Airfield, Georgia, in April 1981. It was about bombing accuracy, and included the USS Clifton Sprague (FFG-16) as a floating target in The Atlantic Ocean.

I could find only two photos of Texas F-4Cs at Gangbuster XI, so here’s a photo of a 182nd TFS/149th TFW F-4C ‘intercepting’ a Soviet Tu-95 ‘Bear’ near Iceland, in 1981:
In July 2021 I revealed U.S. President Biden’s SECRET NEW AFGHAN-AFRICAN REFUGEE OPERATION. I understood the Afghan part, after almost two decades of not really getting anywhere, spending a hell-of-a-lot of tax dollars and shedding a lot of blood, Biden had approved a sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from the Central Asian country, but what did the continent of Africa have to do with it?
For almost a decade, NATO Europe has been dealing with a tsunami of migrants coming from Africa. Ironically, it is precisely the European, Canadian and United States NATO ‘peacekeeping’ operations that have ramped-up volatility in central and Northern Africa, to the point that people would rather risk dying during an escape to Europe, than to stay in their home countries. African migrants are even traveling to Colombia, in South America, before starting their long caravans North to the United States.
Since January of this year, it appears that NATO is losing control of the Central African region of the second-largest and second-most populous continent on this planet, with new found resources and potentially the largest economy in the world.
In the past couple of days, NATO France announced it was unassing the African country of Mail, literally telling the government of Mali it was on its own. This involves other NATO European members and NATO Canada.
The area of Africa that NATO is unassing is known as The Sahel. It has long been part of the so called War on Terror against ‘extremists’, but since the beginning of the Gregorian year several countries in that area have experienced military coups.
It also turns out that Russia has increased its operations in The Sahel.
Does this mean Biden is thinking of a sudden pull-out of U.S. personnel? Recent news releases by the U.S. Department of Defense makes it look like the U.S. is making its Africa operations a permanent deployment.

On 08FEB2022, in the country of Niger, U.S. Air Force’s 409th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron constructed new guard towers on Nigerien Air Base 201: “When we got here two months ago, the last rotation complained about the towers. We wanted to make the towers better, so we looked at the configuration of the towers and started brainstorming ideas.”-Technical Sergeant Tyler Carlson, 409th ESFS

Also in December 2021, U.S. Army Southern European Task Force-Africa went to Niger to help set-up an ‘enhanced’ basic training program as part of the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership Program Act, authorized by U.S. Congress. The Indiana Army National Guard is also involved with training and certifying Nigerien basic training instructors.
I’ve been following the deepening involvement of the U.S. in Africa, things got hot under President Obama, starting in 2013. There are links below to some of the articles.

“This is the first time we’ve worked with F-35s and we continue to build these types of relationships throughout all services and airframes. Other units outside of Idaho continue to come here because we have some of the best ranges in the world, thanks to the outstanding Airmen in the Idaho Air National Guard.”-Lieutenant Colonel Mike Hampton, director of operations for Idaho’s 190th Fighter Squadron/124th Fighter Wing

“This shows that one of the best attack aircraft in the inventory, the mighty A-10 Thunderbolt II, can lethally integrate with the newest, most advanced aircraft in the world, the F-35 Lightning II. Additionally, it is an opportunity for two services to train together in anticipation of fighting alongside each other in future conflicts.”-Lieutenant Colonel Mike Hampton, director of operations for Idaho’s 190th FS/124th FW

“It’s an exciting and unprecedented opportunity to have access to the newest air frame in the U.S. Army’s fleet. It’s exciting being on the leading and cutting edge of aviation. The M model has really set us up as a state and a National Guard entity to continue to lead the way and be on par with active duty counterparts.” -Lieutenant Colonel Nicole Washington, 1-183rd Assault Helicopter Battalion commander

Idaho Army National Guard’s 1-183rd Assault Helicopter Battalion has completed the transition to the new UH-60M. As of January 2022, Idaho now has 20 of the newest Black Hawk.
Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 13JAN2022.
Pilots says the UH-60M is a long distance runner; crews don’t feel as exhausted after an all day mission, compared to the older Black Hawks, because for one thing the UH-60M has less vibration. Improvements include stiffer rotary wings for more lifting power, a new airframe, more powerful engines and advanced digital avionics inside the enlarged ‘glass’ instrument panel, being able to track yourself in relation to enemy/friendly forces, etc.

Idaho’s 1-183rd Assault Helicopter Battalion has already put to use the UH-60M, last year they dumped more than 200-thousand gallons of water on forest fires in the Northern part of The Gem State.

The 1-183rd AHB flew the AH-64A Apache for almost 20 years before transitioning to the AH-64D Longbow model in 2012, and then to the UH-60A/L Black Hawk through 2016-2018. In 2019 they went through UH-60M training. The unit received its first UH-60M on Gowen Field in June 2020 and flew the remaining 19 airframes back from New Jersey to Boise since then. On 16JAN2022, the last two of a total of 20 UH-60Ms arrived on Gowen Field.
“Combined with the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team’s modernized armor equipment, the Idaho Army National Guard is one of the most modernized states in the Army National Guard. Modernized equipment enhances our capability to be interoperable with our active duty peers.”-Brigadier General Farin Schwartz, commander of the Idaho Army National Guard

On 11FEB2022, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command announced new bonuses for recruits who can quickly ship-out for basic training: $5-thousand if you can ship-out within 90 days, $9-thousand if you can ship-out within 30 days, and somewhere in-between for those who can ship-out within 60 days!
On 11FEB2022, Japanese news media reported that the United States and Japan made a deal so that Japan could sell any surplus natural gas (LNG) to NATO Europe/European Union, in case Russia cuts off NATO Europe’s gas supply. 40% of NATO Europe’s LNG comes from Russia. The Japanese news media said Japan’s LNG shipments to Europe are set to start in March. Is that when the shit hits the fan in Europe?
It should be noted that Japan has to import LNG and/or refine it from imported oil. Recently Japan has cut back on LNG imports due to the skyrocketing cost of LNG, which is caused by the saber rattling in Europe. As a result, Japan’s stockpile of LNG is actually dropping. So is Japan’s offer to send (sell?) Europe LNG just a Paper Tiger?

In May 2019, the U.S. Coast Guard approved the ship Marvel Crane to carry LNG/Natural Gas. It is one of several LNG export projects planned for Louisiana in the next five to ten years.

More studies show coronavirus causes heart problems, and since the vaccine uses coronavirus it makes logical sense that the vaccine itself would cause heart problems, as well. Both the vaccine and the virus causes the immune system of some people to go into ‘overdrive’, which causes adverse swelling/inflammation. What doesn’t make sense are the government health ‘experts’ who continue to push for vaccination despite the growing documentation showing not just heart problems but other adverse reactions.
Incomplete list of vaccine side effect reports as of 12 February 2022:
Doctor Pramil Cheriyath gives you his explanation of how the vaccine causes myocarditis:
In the United States, if you have had, or suspect you’ve had and adverse reaction to a vaccine it is up to you, not your healthcare provider, to report it. Contact the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Individuals in the United States suffering adverse reactions to vaccines also need to self-report to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Victims who have done so say it is time consuming and complicated, as if intended to dissuade you from making a report.
