Depending on your source of information, France has been using the AMX-10RC since 1979 or 1981. One source says development began in 1970, with the first French unit getting its AMX-10RCs between 1981 and 1982.

I think it is strange that information on this armored car is so conflicting, and it is strange that I cannot find any images of in-service AMX-10RCs prior to Operation Desert Storm.
The RC stands for Roues-Canon, in English it means Wheeled-Cannon. It was made by a company called GIAT Industries (now called Nexter Systems).

Beginning in 2005, France began upgrading their AMX-10RCs, changing the name to AMX-10RCR, the extra R stands for Renove, meaning renovated in English.

“…melioidosis is considered a high-priority potential biological threat agent; its close relative Burkholderia mallei was used as a bioweapon during World War I. Research on this pathogen requires high-containment laboratories (biosafety level 3, or BSL-3). There is no vaccine, and treatment with antibiotics is lengthy and difficult because of the bacterium’s inherent antibiotic resistance—it is ‘impervious to all but a few antibiotics.'”–Melioidosis Modeling: Research to Support Countermeasures for a Tricky Pathogen, U.S. Food and Drug Administration
The bacteria is called Burkholderia Pseudomallei, it causes something called Melioidosis (aka Whitmore’s Disease) in both animals and humans. Up until now, it was mainly found in northern Australia and South East Asia.
The American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, along with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), are claiming that six cases have popped-up in the United States as a result of monkeys being imported from the South East Asian country of Cambodia: “…animals infected with B. pseudomallei may appear healthy for months to years before showing signs of illness, during which time they can shed the organism into the environment. Melioidosis presents diagnostic challenges because it causes nonspecific clinical signs, serologic screening can produce unreliable results, and culture isolates are often misidentified on rapid commercial testing systems. Here, we present a case of melioidosis in a cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) that developed a subcutaneous abscess after importation from Cambodia to the United States.”–Melioidosis in Cynomolgus Macaques ( Macaca Fascicularis ) Imported to the United States from Cambodia
Burkholderia Pseudomallei ( aka B-Pseudomallei, or Pseudomonas Pseudomallei) is a bacteria found in soil or water. Only in 2006 did scientist begin to understand the virulence of the Melioidosis disease it causes: “…and the study of host–pathogen interactions has shed some light on pathogenic mechanisms, but many key questions await investigation…”-Melioidosis: insights into the pathogenicity of Burkholderia pseudomallei

The United States has the underutilized Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). In the United Kingdom it is officially called Yellow Card, because when the program was started people had to manually fill out yellow cards to report their adverse reaction to a vaccine. Both the U.S. and U.K.’s voluntary system relies mainly on the victim to file the report, but healthcare providers can also file reports.
The U.K.’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published the latest numbers (23NOV2022, published on 21DEC2022) regarding adverse reactions. Notice below that the number of voluntarily reported reactions add up to more than 400-thousand!

“The strengths of our study include its large sample size, and its conduct in a healthcare system where a very early recognition of the critical importance of maintaining an effective workforce during the pandemic led to devotion of resources to have an accurate accounting of who had COVID-19, when COVID-19 was diagnosed, who received a COVID-19 vaccine, and when. The study methodology, treating bivalent vaccination as a time-dependent covariate, allowed for determining vaccine effectiveness in real time.”–Effectiveness of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Bivalent Vaccine
In a ‘pre-print’ not yet peer reviewed study (released on 19DEC2022), a massively huge tracking of vaccinated versus not vaccinated people (51-thousand-11 people in total, that is big) by the Cleveland Clinic, in the U.S. state of Ohio, implied that if you want to avoid CoViD, then to have your best chances you need to avoid immunizations!
The intro of the study appears to be slightly pro-vaccine, claiming boosters are weak at only 30% effectiveness (at best). However, it is when you read the details of the study that it becomes painfully obvious that the study directly blames high rates of continued infections on the mRNA vaccines themselves!
Buried in the study is a section titled Risk of COVID-19 based on prior infection and vaccination history. The accompanying chart shows that those who are vaccinated have the highest risk of infection!
This chart clearly shows that people with zero mRNA vaccinations have the lowest risk of infection, while the people with the most vaccinations/boosters have the highest risk of infection! Again, this was buried in the study, just a quick glance over the study would make you think it was pro-booster.
While the authors continue to state that Bivalent boosters are 30% effective, they admit that their study showed having the booster, on top of the original immunizations, also increases your risk of infection by as much as “3.5 times”!
The study concludes that boosters are only moderately effective, and that “The effect of multiple COVID-19 vaccine doses on future risk of COVID-19 needs further study.”
Canada began using the original M113A1 (Diesel powered version) in the late 1960s, it is not to be confused with the earlier M113 Command & Recon Lynx, which was a shortened, lightweight version of the gasoline powered M113.

The original M113 was developed by the United States based FMC, then continued under United Defense, then taken over by the British empire’s BAE Systems. The BAE upgraded M113s are known as Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light (MTVL), or also as Tracked Light Armoured Vehicle (TLAV). And to confuse you even more, each ‘fit-out’ (version) of the MTVL/TLAV has its own special acronym.

A major visual difference between a new NATO-Canadian M113 and the old NATO-U.S. M113 can be seen in the types of tracks and drive sprockets used, and the fact that they have six roadwheels as opposed to the U.S. M113s with five roadwheels!

Is this the real reason they didn’t want to cancel the Olympics? Yet more proof The Olympics is nothing more than a scam-job to steal from taxpayers: Government cost of Tokyo Olympics proven to be several billions of U.S. dollars more than officially reported!
The accounting ‘error’ was discovered by Japan’s Board of Audit, which concluded that the government of Japan spent US$3.5-billion on the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, about two-and-a-half times more than what the Tokyo Games Committee reported in June.
And that was for the national government’s costs, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government itself spent US$4.5 billion! Japan’s Board of Audit says total overall cost to conduct the Tokyo (Pandemic) Olympics is currently at US$12.9 billion!
The Japan Sports Agency claims it is working with the national government to come up with a better way of reporting event expenses!

If you live in the United States did you miss ‘Antibiotic Awareness Week’? It was the week of November 18th. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claims that 2.8-million antimicrobial (antibiotic)-resistant infections occur each year in the United States, and more than 35-thousand people die because of antibiotic resistance. Part of the problem is that many people, including doctors, are not using antibiotics correctly: “Antibiotics are drugs that are specifically used to fight bacterial infections and do not work on viruses such as colds and flu.”-Lieutenant Commander Sara Robinson, Chair of Infection Prevention and Control at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

COPD=Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
“COPD makes breathing difficult for the 16 million Americans who have this disease. Millions more people suffer from COPD but have not been diagnosed and are not being treated.

Cameroon: Personnel with the U. S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the U.S. CDC, traveled all the way to Cameroon on the west-central coast of Africa, to attend the fourth annual International Forum on Public Health Emergency Operations (November 9th-11th), and this year they were talking about “strengthening public health emergency management systems and surveillance” in the shadow of the CoViD-19 Pandemic. For some reason, the U.S. DTRA has been focusing on epidemiology training in Cameroon, since at least 2015: “Together, we build capabilities and create effective networks that enable reporting of biological threats. International partner success is success for global health and for the protection of all the African people.”-Hayley Aron, DTRA Biological Threat Cameroon Country Manager, 15NOV2022
“I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”-Revelation 6:8, New International Bible
A recent post-mortem (autopsy) study directly blames mRNA vaccines for at least 25 sudden deaths in Germany! The study has been published (27NOV2022, in Clinical Research in Cardiology, originally submitted on 22JUL2022, so this has been known about for awhile) and is peer reviewed.
“Standardized autopsies were performed on 25 persons who had died unexpectedly and within 20 days after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. In four patients who received a mRNA vaccination, we identified acute (epi-)myocarditis without detection of another significant disease or health constellation that may have caused an unexpected death.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
The study concluded that not only does mRNA cause myocarditis (swelling of the heart), but it also causes epicarditis (the German study calls it [epi-]myocarditis)! This is significant, because epicarditis is hard to diagnose and usually associated with Adult Still’s Disease. Epicarditis is the inflammation of the visceral epicardium, which is critical in maintaining a healthy heart. It literally protects and repairs the heart, unless ‘something’ invades this outer layer and destroys it! The epicardium is also referred to as the ‘serous pericardium’.
Image explaining basics of how T-cells are supposed to work.
The damage to the heart was the result of white blood cells, known as CD4+/T-cells (T-lymphocytic, aka CD4+ T lymphocytes, aka ‘Helper Cells’), to flood into the epicardium/serous pericardium:“Histology showed patchy interstitial myocardial , T-lymphocytic infiltration, predominantly of the CD4 positive subset, associated with mild myocyte damage.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
But wait, there is more; this study revealed that epicarditis/(epi-)myocarditis has also been connected to influenza (flu) and smallpox vaccinations: “Cases of (epi-)myocarditis have previously been documented after immunization against smallpox or influenza in the vaccine adverse events reporting system.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
Here’s is more for you to chew on: “Cardiac autopsy findings consistent with (epi-)myocarditis were found in five cases of the remaining 25 bodies found unexpectedly dead at home within 20 days following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. ….Three of the deceased persons were women, two men. Median age at death was 58 years (range 46–75 years). Four persons died after the first vaccine jab, the remaining case after the second dose. All persons died within the first week following vaccination…. ….Person 1 was found dead 12 h after the vaccination. A witness described a rattling breath shortly before discovering circulatory failure. Person 2 complained about nausea and was found dead soon thereafter. Resuscitation was started immediately but without success, respectively. The other persons were found dead at home without available information about terminal symptoms. According to the available information provided at the time of autopsies, none of the deceased persons had SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to vaccination and nasopharyngeal swabs were negative in all cases.”–Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination

This deployment, as with the thousands of other National Guard deployments since 11SEP2001, was planned for well in advance: “I can tell you that this team is ready. I can tell you that countless hours, days, weeks, and months have been poured into planning, rehearsing, executing, and refining everything that needs to be done to ensure our Soldiers go do their mission and return home.”-Lieutenant Colonel Robert Felicio, the 505th Battalion Commander
