Biden’s Borderland: ‘Illegal’ trucks being smuggled into U.S. from Canada, thru Idaho?

09 October 2022 (11:27-UTC-07 Tango 06) 17 Mehr 1401/13 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1444/14 Geng-Xu 4720/09 октября 2022 года

Idaho is now caught in the middle of a so-called smuggling operation involving the leftist-liberal controlled state of Washington, and the leftist-liberal federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

On 07OCT2022, the EPA announced that once again the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CPB) caught ‘illegal’ diesel powered pickup trucks being ‘smuggled’ into Washington state, from Canada, through Idaho: “We appreciate the partnership with the Customs and Border Protection agents in ensuring compliance with these important laws to protect public health.”-Ed Kowalski, EPA Region 10 Enforcement and Compliance Assistance Division

The EPA says the trucks are illegal because they violate current EPA regulations concerning diesel powered pickup trucks.

Specifically, on 23SEP2022 a company called DDM Imports Incorporated (not to be confused with the South African based DDM Imports which focuses on importing parts for German cars), headquartered in the city of Airways Heights, Washington, was fined $41-thousand-582 for attempting to import allegedly altered diesel powered pickups from Canada, through the border-port-town of Eastport, in Idaho.  The CPB reported that upon inspection of the vehicles they claim they found that the emission controls had be altered and no longer complied with EPA regulations. The EPA says this is the fourth such incident in the past three years, DDM Imports has been fined for each incident.

Since January 2020, the EPA began a new crackdown (National Compliance Initiative) on what the leftist-liberals believe should be illegal motors, it is called Stopping Aftermarket Defeat Devices for Vehicles and Engines.   And, with all the problems of illegal migrants and illegal drugs flooding into the U.S., the EPA has the CPB busy inspecting inanimate objects rather than protecting the citizens from dangerous invaders and chemicals!

DDM Imports is a U.S. based vehicle importer/exporter that ships directly from/to Canada.  DDM has two locations in Washington, and one operation in each of the following: Minnesota, Montana and Utah.

It should also be noted that diesel emissions are less toxic than gasoline, you can shut yourself into a garage with a diesel motor running and emerge the next day with a headache, but still very much alive, while the CO emissions from a gasoline motor will kill you within 5-minutes!  A properly tuned diesel will not produce toxic levels of CO, however, a diesel motor that is not properly tuned (over-rich fuel/air mixture) it can. But the environmental-fascists are more concerned with the particulates than with actual poisons, that is why they prefer toxic gasoline over diesel, and love the more toxic lithium powered electric vehicles.

(The Simple Answer is, “Yes,” Diesel is Cleaner than Gasoline)

It should be noted that on DDM’s own website they state that “Once the vehicle arrives on our lot, we perform the necessary modification to make the vehicle compliant with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards.” There is no mention of EPA regulations.

Hunger Games: Why are taxpayer funded rations being sold to the highest bidder?

06 October 2022 (09:58-UTC-07 Tango 06) 14 Mehr 1401/10 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1444/11 Geng-Xu 4720/06 октября 2022 года

I’ve noticed a trend this year, Humanitarian Daily Ration (HDR) clearly marked as “Food Gift From The People Of The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are being sold in stores here in Eastern Idaho.

Such a statement indicates the item was already paid for by U.S. taxpayers.  So how can this item be resold, to the very same taxpayers, in a retail setting?

One HDR is being sold in a local Southeast Idaho ‘reselling’ store for $5.99, a case of faux MREs is being sold for more than $50!

Apparently they are made by a company in South Carolina.

I discovered that some rations are being auctioned-off on the internet by an outfit called GovDeals.  According to their website, they act as a clearing house for federal, state, and local government entities that apparently have surplus items they need to get rid of.  This means that the government has too many food rations?!

On the GovDeals website somebody posted the question about shelf-life, because they noticed the rations were three years past the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) own use-by regulations (“The shelf life of the HDR is 36 months at 80 degrees Fahrenheit.”).

The DLA website explains that at some point in the past, they were ordered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency-Humanitarian Assistance/Demining Activities to stock up on MRE style rations “In order to provide the widest possible acceptance from the variety of potential consumers with diverse religious and dietary restrictions from around the world…”.

I noticed that the stores selling these, apparently expired, HDRs are calling them MREs (Meal Ready to Eat).  The DLA website clarifies that while these rations look like military style MREs, they are technically not because they are not produced to the same standard.

So yes, these have already been paid for by all you happy taxpayers, and yes, apparently they can be resold to happy taxpayers once they are past their ‘use-by’ date!  It also is proof that there is no food shortage, because obviously the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency was able to overstock on HDRs!  Or maybe that is why there has been food shortages at the grocery stores, it has all been going to the DLA?

F-15 50th Anniversary: Desert Storm First Blood for USAF, the never ending Tar Baby called Iraq!

The first combat use of the F-15 Eagle was by Israel in 1979, followed by Saudi Arabia in 1984.  First combat use of the F-15 by the U.S. Air Force was during Operation Desert Storm, in 1991.

Five months before Desert Storm, the build-up was called Desert Shield. These F-15C Eagles are patrolling the sky over Saudi Arabian oil operations. U.S. Air Force/33rd Tactical Fighter Wing photo.

The USAF info that came with this photo is highly dubious. 1st, it states the photo was made in May 1992, more than a year after Desert Storm, yet claims this F-15C is being prepped for a mission during Desert Storm. 2nd, as you will see in the photo below, this Gulf Spirit does not have the kill markings that were applied after Desert Storm. Possibly this photo was made during Desert Storm, but not released until May 1992? Photo by Senior Airman Chris Putnam.

After Desert Storm, France, the United States, and United Kingdom, imposed a ‘no fly zone’ over Iraq.  This Operation Southern Watch would last more than a decade, and help the U.S./NATO invade Iraq in 2003.  Even though the invasion was rationalized by the claim of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which would later be proven false, the invasion of Iraq was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom (a major clue that it was not about WMDs). This was followed by Operation Inherent Resolve in 2014, supposedly to fight religious extremism that had taken over Iraq as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Even though Operation Inherent Resolve was declared a success in Iraq, in 2019, U.S./NATO forces continue to operate in Iraq.  This means the taxpayers of U.S./NATO have been funding direct military involvement in Iraqi affairs for more than three decades, and the result the leaders of the so called free world promised has yet to materialize.

For many decades after Desert Storm was declared finished, Eagles would continue to patrol over, and even bomb, Iraq. The relatively new F-15E Strike Eagle somewhere in Saudi Arabia, 20MAY1992. USAF photo.

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: F-15 EAGLE NOW 50 YEARS OLD

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis & Beyond: Antonov 2 Biplane, the most practical aircraft ever?

To many people, the Antonov 2 is something that harkens back to the First World War’s biplanes, but it was developed after the Second World War (first flight 31AUG1947), soldiered on through the undeclared Cold War and continues flying for militaries on both sides of the Ukraine Crisis.

A proud Oleg Antonov stands between the crew that flew the An-2 on its first flight. Photo via Antonov Company.

It was Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov’s first aircraft design through his new independent Antonov Design Bureau.  It is a utility aircraft, originally meant as a crop duster/agricultural aircraft, and originally known as Sel’sko−Hoziaystvenniy samoliot (literally Agricultural Aircraft).  Mass production of the An-2 Maize actually began in a factory in Ukraine, in 1948.  In 1952, O.K. Antonov moved his design bureau operations/headquarters from Russia to Ukraine, where it is now known as Antonov Company.

The crop duster was a top loader. Photo via Antonov Company.

Since 1948, the ‘Maize’ has been produced in several dozens of factories in dozens of countries, with at least six official modifications resulting in dozens of silly-vilian (civilian) and military variants.  The NATO reporting name is Colt.  Colt = An-2, 3, 4, 6, plus many other variants.  In China it is known as Y-5, and they even built a pilotless/robot version called Feihong 98.

A Warsaw Pact Polska (Poland) built PZL Maize/Colt floatplane, known as An-2M or An-2W in Poland (in the Soviet Union it is An-2V). What is realy interesting is that the NATO info published with this photo (in 1978) actually stated that the floatplane version was “rather rare”.

Sometime during the Cold War, in Warsaw Pact Deutsche Demokratische Republik (aka East Germany) fighter pilots were required to learn how to jump from a Colt.

In Warsaw Pact Československo (Czech-o-Slovakia), silly-vilian (civilian) parachute clubs were the rage, and the Colt was a major player. Photo made sometime in 1979.

SlovAir operated Colts were used by silly-vilian parachute clubs in Warsaw Pact Czech-o-Slovakia. Photo made sometime in 1980.

Antonov Company video, sometime towards the end of the undeclared Cold War, a mini-documentary was made about O. K. Antonov’s love of designing aircraft (in his own words), including his Maize:

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).  The Western NATO (North Atlantic treaty Organization) must not have considered the Colt a significant aircraft, I have several books concerning Soviet aircraft, published in the United States and United Kingdom in the 1970s, only two slightly mention the An-2 and only one has a photo of it.

Last days of a former Warsaw Pact-East German Colt. In 1990, East & West Germany officially became one, but many East German aircraft continued to carry their Cold War insignia. East German An-2s were quietly retired.

В.Путин: Уважаемые друзья!

Тема моего выступления – ситуация на Донбассе и ход специальной военной операции по его освобождению от неонацистского режима, захватившего власть на Украине в 2014 году в результате вооружённого государственного переворота.

Обращаюсь сегодня к вам, ко всем гражданам нашей страны, к людям разных поколений, возраста и национальности, к народу нашей великой Родины, ко всем, кого объединяет большая историческая Россия, к солдатам и офицерам, добровольцам, которые сейчас сражаются на передовой, находятся на боевом посту, к нашим братьям и сёстрам – жителям Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, Херсонской и Запорожской областей, других освобождённых от неонацистского режима районов.

Речь пойдёт о необходимых, неотложных шагах по защите суверенитета, безопасности и территориальной целостности России, о поддержке стремления и воли наших соотечественников самим определять своё будущее и об агрессивной политике части западных элит, которые всеми силами стремятся сохранить своё господство, а для этого пытаются блокировать, подавить любые суверенные самостоятельные центры развития, чтобы и дальше грубо навязывать другим странам и народам свою волю, насаждать свои псевдоценности.

Цель этого Запада – ослабить, разобщить и уничтожить в конечном итоге нашу страну. Они уже прямо говорят о том, что в 1991 году смогли расколоть Советский Союз, а сейчас пришло время и самой России, что она должна распасться на множество смертельно враждующих между собой регионов и областей.

И такие планы они вынашивают давно. Они поощряли банды международных террористов на Кавказе, продвигали наступательную инфраструктуру НАТО вплотную к нашим границам. Они сделали своим оружием тотальную русофобию, в том числе десятилетиями целенаправленно взращивали ненависть к России, прежде всего на Украине, которой они готовили участь антироссийского плацдарма, а сам украинский народ превратили в пушечное мясо и толкнули на войну с нашей страной, развязав её, эту войну, ещё в 2014 году, используя вооружённые силы против гражданского населения, организовав геноцид, блокаду, террор в отношении людей, которые отказались признать власть, возникшую на Украине в результате госпереворота.

А после того, как сегодняшний киевский режим фактически публично отказался от мирного решения проблемы Донбасса и, более того, заявил о своих притязаниях на ядерное оружие, стало абсолютно ясно, что новое, очередное, как это уже было прежде дважды, крупномасштабное наступление на Донбасс неизбежно. А затем так же неизбежно последовала бы и атака на российский Крым – на Россию.

В этой связи решение об упреждающей военной операции было абсолютно необходимым и единственно возможным. Её главные цели – освобождение всей территории Донбасса – были и остаются неизменными.

Луганская Народная Республика уже практически полностью очищена от неонацистов. Бои в Донецкой Народной Республике продолжаются. Здесь за восемь лет киевский оккупационный режим создал глубоко эшелонированную линию долговременных укреплений. Их штурм в лоб обернулся бы тяжёлыми потерями, поэтому наши части, а также воинские подразделения республик Донбасса действуют планомерно, грамотно, используют технику, берегут личный состав и шаг за шагом освобождают донецкую землю, очищают от неонацистов города и посёлки, оказывают помощь людям, которых киевский режим превратил в заложников, в живой щит.

Как вы знаете, в специальной военной операции принимают участие профессиональные военнослужащие, проходящие службу по контракту. Плечом к плечу вместе с ними сражаются и добровольческие формирования: люди разных национальностей, профессий, возрастов – настоящие патриоты. Они по зову сердца встали на защиту России и Донбасса.

В связи с этим Правительству, Министерству обороны мною уже были даны поручения в полном объёме и в кратчайший срок определить правовой статус добровольцев, а также бойцов подразделений Донецкой и Луганской народных республик. Он должен быть таким же, как и у кадровых военнослужащих российской армии, включая материальное, медицинское обеспечение, социальные гарантии. Особое внимание должно быть уделено организации снабжения добровольческих формирований и отрядов народной милиции Донбасса техникой и снаряжением.

В ходе решения главных задач по защите Донбасса наши войска, исходя из планов и решений Министерства обороны и Генерального штаба по общей стратегии действий, освободили от неонацистов и значительные территории Херсонской и Запорожской областей, ряд некоторых других районов. В результате чего образовалась протяжённая линия боевого соприкосновения, которая составляет свыше тысячи километров.

О чём хочу сегодня впервые сказать публично? Уже после начала специальной военной операции, в том числе переговоров в Стамбуле, представители Киева реагировали на наши предложения весьма позитивно, и эти предложения прежде всего касались обеспечения безопасности России, наших интересов. Но очевидно, что мирное решение не устраивало Запад, поэтому после достижения определённых компромиссов Киеву фактически было дано прямое указание сорвать все договорённости.

Украину стали ещё больше накачивать оружием. Киевский режим пустил в ход новые банды иностранных наёмников и националистов, воинские части, обученные по стандартам НАТО и под фактическим командованием западных советников.

Одновременно самым жёстким образом был усилен режим репрессий по всей Украине в отношении своих собственных граждан, установленный сразу после вооружённого переворота 2014 года. Политика запугивания, террора, насилия принимает всё более массовые, страшные, варварские формы.

Хочу подчеркнуть: мы знаем, что большинство людей, живущих на освобождённых от неонацистов территориях, а это прежде всего исторические земли Новороссии, не хотят оказаться под игом неонацистского режима. В Запорожье, на Херсонщине, в Луганске и Донецке видели и видят те зверства, которые творят неонацисты в захваченных районах Харьковской области. Наследники бандеровцев и нацистских карателей убивают людей, пытают, бросают в тюрьмы, сводят счёты, расправляются, измываются над мирными гражданами.

В Донецкой и Луганской народных республиках, Запорожской и Херсонской областях до начала боевых действий проживало более семи с половиной миллионов человек. Многие из них вынуждены были стать беженцами, покинуть родной дом. А те, кто остался, – это порядка пяти миллионов человек – сегодня подвергаются постоянным артиллерийским и ракетным обстрелам со стороны неонацистских боевиков. Они бьют по больницам и школам, устраивают террористические акты против мирных жителей.

Мы не можем, не имеем никакого морального права отдать близких нам людей на растерзание палачам, не можем не откликнуться на их искреннее стремление самим определять свою судьбу. Парламенты народных республик Донбасса, а также военно-гражданские администрации Херсонской и Запорожской областей приняли решение о проведении референдумов о будущем этих территорий и обратились к нам, к России, с просьбой поддержать такой шаг.

Подчеркну: мы сделаем всё, чтобы обеспечить безопасные условия для проведения референдумов, для того чтобы люди могли выразить свою волю. И то решение о своём будущем, которое примет большинство жителей Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, Запорожской и Херсонской областей, мы поддержим.

Уважаемые друзья!

Сегодня наши Вооружённые Силы, как уже говорил, действуют на линии боевого соприкосновения, которая превышает тысячу километров, противостоят не только неонацистским формированиям, а фактически всей военной машине коллективного Запада.  (Today, our Armed Forces, as I have already said, are operating on the line of contact, which exceeds a thousand kilometers, they are confronting not only neo-Nazi formations [Ukrainian], but in fact the entire military machine of the collective West [NATO].)

В этой ситуации считаю необходимым принять следующее решение – оно в полной мере адекватно угрозам, с которыми мы сталкиваемся, – а именно: для защиты нашей Родины, её суверенитета и территориальной целостности, для обеспечения безопасности нашего народа и людей на освобождённых территориях считаю необходимым поддержать предложение Министерства обороны и Генерального штаба о проведении в Российской Федерации частичной мобилизации.  (In this situation, I consider it necessary to make the following decision – it is fully adequate to the threats we face – namely: to protect our Motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, to ensure the security of our people and people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal Ministry of Defense and the General Staff on the conduct of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation.)

Повторю, речь идёт именно о частичной мобилизации, то есть призыву на военную службу будут подлежать только граждане, которые в настоящий момент состоят в запасе, и прежде всего те, кто проходил службу в рядах Вооружённых Сил, имеет определённые военно-учётные специальности и соответствующий опыт.

Призванные на военную службу перед отправкой в части в обязательном порядке будут проходить дополнительную военную подготовку с учётом опыта специальной военной операции.

Указ о частичной мобилизации подписан.

В соответствии с законодательством об этом официально письмами будут сегодня проинформированы палаты Федерального Собрания – Совет Федерации и Государственная Дума.

Мобилизационные мероприятия начнутся сегодня, с 21 сентября. Поручаю главам регионов оказать всё необходимое содействие работе военных комиссариатов.  (Mobilization activities will begin today, from 21 September. I instruct the heads of regions to provide all necessary assistance to the work of military commissariats.)

Особо подчеркну, что граждане России, призванные на военную службу по мобилизации, получат статус, выплаты и все социальные гарантии военнослужащих, проходящих военную службу по контракту.

Добавлю, что Указ о частичной мобилизации также предусматривает дополнительные меры по выполнению государственного оборонного заказа. На руководителях предприятий ОПК лежит прямая ответственность за решение задач по наращиванию выпуска вооружений и военной техники, по развёртыванию дополнительных производственных мощностей. В свою очередь все вопросы материального, ресурсного и финансового обеспечения оборонных предприятий должны быть решены Правительством незамедлительно.  (I will add that the Decree on partial mobilization also provides for additional measures to fulfill the state defense order. The heads of defense industry enterprises are directly responsible for solving the tasks of increasing the production of weapons and military equipment, and deploying additional production capacities. In turn, all issues of material, resource and financial support for defense enterprises must be resolved by the Government immediately.)

Уважаемые друзья!

В своей агрессивной антироссийской политике Запад перешёл всякую грань. Мы постоянно слышим угрозы в адрес нашей страны, нашего народа. Некоторые безответственные политики на Западе не только говорят о планах по организации поставок Украине дальнобойных наступательных вооружений – систем, которые позволят наносить удары по Крыму, другим регионам России.  (In its aggressive anti-Russian policy, the West [NATO] has crossed every line. We constantly hear threats against our country, our people. Some irresponsible politicians in the West not only talk about plans to organize the supply of long-range offensive weapons to Ukraine – systems that will allow strikes against the Crimea and other regions of Russia.)

Такие террористические удары, в том числе с использованием западного оружия, уже наносятся по приграничным населённым пунктам Белгородской, Курской областей. В режиме реального времени с использованием современных систем, самолётов, кораблей, спутников, стратегических беспилотников НАТО осуществляет разведку по всему югу России.  (Such terrorist strikes, including with the use of Western weapons, are already being carried out on the border settlements of the Belgorod and Kursk regions [Vladimir Putin stated months ago that if NATO weapons were used against Russia it would be considered an act of war by NATO]. In real time, using modern systems, aircraft, ships, satellites, strategic drones, NATO carries out reconnaissance throughout southern Russia.)

В Вашингтоне, Лондоне, Брюсселе прямо подталкивают Киев к переносу военных действий на нашу территорию. Уже не таясь, говорят о том, что Россия должна быть всеми средствами разгромлена на поле боя с последующим лишением политического, экономического, культурного, вообще всякого суверенитета, с полным разграблением нашей страны.  (In Washington, London, Brussels, they are directly pushing Kyiv to transfer military operations to our territory. No longer hiding, they say that Russia should be defeated by all means on the battlefield, followed by the deprivation of political, economic, cultural, in general, any sovereignty, with the complete plunder of our country.)

В ход пошёл и ядерный шантаж. Речь идёт не только о поощряемых Западом обстрелах Запорожской атомной электростанции, что грозит атомной катастрофой, но и о высказываниях некоторых высокопоставленных представителей ведущих государств НАТО о возможности и допустимости применения против России оружия массового поражения – ядерного оружия.  (Nuclear blackmail was also launched. We are talking not only about the [Ukrainian] shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which is encouraged by the West, which threatens a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia – nuclear weapons.)

Тем, кто позволяет себе такие заявления в отношении России, хочу напомнить, что наша страна также располагает различными средствами поражения, а по отдельным компонентам – и более современными, чем у стран НАТО. И при угрозе территориальной целостности нашей страны, для защиты России и нашего народа мы, безусловно, используем все имеющиеся в нашем распоряжении средства. Это не блеф.  (To those who allow themselves to make such statements about Russia, I would like to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for some components – even more modern than those of the NATO countries. And when the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. It’s not a bluff.)

Граждане России могут быть уверены: территориальная целостность нашей Родины, наша независимость и свобода будут обеспечены, подчеркну это ещё раз, всеми имеющимися у нас средствами. А те, кто пытается шантажировать нас ядерным оружием, должны знать, что роза ветров может развернуться и в их сторону.

В нашей исторической традиции, в судьбе нашего народа – останавливать тех, кто рвётся к мировому господству, кто грозит расчленением и порабощением нашей Родины, нашему Отечеству. Мы и сейчас это сделаем, так и будет.  (It is in our historical tradition, in the destiny of our people, to stop those who strive for world domination, who threaten with the dismemberment and enslavement of our Motherland, our Fatherland. We will do it now, and so it will be.)

Верю в вашу поддержку.

Operation Jupiter: International military organization warns of new Killer Insects?

15 September 2022  (10:16-UTC-07 Tango 06) 24 Shahrivar 1401/18 Safar1444/20 Ji-You 4720

After the First World War, several countries formed a new international military organization called International Committee of Military Medicine (ICMM).  From the 5th to the 9th of September 2022, the ICMM held a conference in Brussels, Belgium (which also happens to be the HQ of NATO, and the pseudo-capital of the European Union).

The ICMM now includes the militaries of at least 32 countries, however, this year’s conference included the United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the World Veterinary Association (WVA).  There was also a focus on the African country of Ghana: “We’ve teamed up with the Ghanaian military for decades, including helping establish the Ghana Armed Forces Entomology Center of Excellence in 2021.”-Commander Ian Sutherland, U.S. Navy Entomology Center of Excellence

What is worrying all those different militaries, and the UN-WHO, ICRC and WVA,  is not Coronavirus, or any virus or bacteria, but rather the emergence of insecticide resistant insects who are considered to be carriers/spreaders of microbial germs (aka vector-borne diseases).

The U.S. Navy Entomology Center of Excellence revealed it is updating its Insecticide Resistance Response System (IRRS), and working on creating more durable and longer-lasting insecticide treated netting, as well as new field-portable insect testing kits to test for insecticide resistance.

In 2019, the U.S. Congress passed an Act requiring a National Strategy to fight future vector borne disease carriers.

Labor Shortage? U.S. Army begging Soldiers to transfer to Pandemic plagued Korea!

On 23AUG2022, the U.S. Army released a video begging soldiers to voluntarily transfer to Republic of Korea (South Korea).  The request coincides with the 72nd Anniversary of the U.S. Army’s deployment to Korea, but back then U.S. citizens were forced into the military (drafted, ask your grand parents or great grand parents), or sent to prison for refusing (ask Cassius Clay-Muhammad Ali about that).
