20FEB2025, U.S. Secretary of Defense announcements.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says main stream “woke” news media is lying about Defense Department cuts! Welcomes DOGE inspectors:

The actual physical location of the Pentagon is in Virginia, not Washington DC. Washington DC is the mailing address for the Pentagon.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Peter Brian Hegseth reports on efforts to use Guantanamo Bay, on Cuba, to hold violent illegals.

I got this from a silent color film, recorded sometime in 1942.  It shows the nose-names applied to newly arrived P-40E Warhawks (to replace the P-40B/Cs that were destroyed by the Japanese) on Hickam Field, Territory of Hawaii:

Before the Second World War started France had ordered hundreds of Curtiss P-40 fighters, but did not receive them due to being invaded by Germany. After the United States invaded Morocco, U.S. General James Harold ‘Jimmy’ Doolittle presided over the official delivery ceremony of Warhawks to the newly ‘liberated’ French Groupe de Chasse GC II/5 (aka Lafayette Escadrille), on Casablanca-Cazas airfield in Morocco, on the African continent. I edited from a collection of color silent films recorded by B. O’Conner on 09JAN1943 (the date of the official ceremony, in reality the U.S. had already equipped the French unit in November 1942):

Casablanca-Cazas airfield in Morocco, 09JAN1943.

U.S. Army Photo Division personnel incorrectly listed the above photo as being in Algeria (Algiers), it is from the 09JAN1943 ceremony in Morocco.

P-40 Warhawk, Aleutian Islands, 11DEC1943.

The U.S. Army photo-info says this is a ‘E’ version, but the tail looks like the ‘K’ version.

‘Democracy & Inclusion’ equal new anti-Iran/Russia military pact!

On 14JAN2025, during the last days of the Biden regime, a Strategic Partnership ‘agreement’ was signed between Armenia and United States of America. It includes, among other things, “nuclear cooperation”. Armenia sits on the southern border of Georgia (which itself sits on the southern border of Russia) and the northern border of Iran.

More than 16 years ago the Oregon Military Museum (near Clackamas/Camp Withycombe-Happy Valley) shutdown for renovations.  The museum is expected to reopen during the Summer of 2025, a year later than originally planned.

In January 2025, final work was being completed for the weapons display.

Kathleen Sligar, Director/Curator of the Oregon Military Museum, talks about the final preparations for the weapons display in this video report, via Oregon National Guard’s First Sergeant Zachary Holden, released 29JAN2025:

Despite being closed for renovations, special tours were conducted for veterans organizations.

The museum has outdoor displays that visitors can view.

Uncle Sam preps for War: Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

Curtiss XP-40 Warhawk tested in the NACA wind tunnel, Langley Research Center, Virginia, 1939.

I edited together videos from United States Army Air Corps/Forces (USAAC/USAAF) newsreels, released in 1941. Curtiss P-40 Warhawk:

Before the U.S. entered the Second World War, ‘volunteers’ were being paid by the U.S. government to fly P-40 ‘Flying Tigers’ for China, against the Japanese.  However, after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor the Flying Tigers became an official USAAC/USAAF unit, along with some of their pilots being transferred to the Navy/Marine Corps, and the Chinese began flying their own P-40s.  Here is a poor quality, silent film of Chinese operated P-40s:

Here are some photos of various versions of P-40s throughout the war:

Task Force-DC: Massive National Guard mobilization for the U.S. Capital City!

Since the beginning of January 2025, Air & Army National Guard units have been pouring into the U.S. Capital of Washington-District of Columbia (DC).  Never mind all the other government security organizations who are also deploying there.  This is just a little bit of what the National Guard is doing.

Militarizing the Police: Army Guard deputized as Capitol Police!

On 06JAN2025, about 5-hundred Army National Guard personnel from Maryland, Pennsylvania and District of Columbia (DC), were deputized by Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, for the Counting and Certification of the Electoral Votes, and the transfer of the U.S. Office of The President, which is a National Security event.

The induction took place in the Washington DC Armory. Video via Second Lieutenant Paige Bodine, and the 60th Presidential Inauguration Joint Information Center:

Actually, military personnel, both part-time and active duty, have routinely been deputized for various civilian and military events around the United States, and even in other countries.

In June 2024, U.S. Marines (Combat Logistics Battalion 13-Combat Logistics Regiment 17-1st Marine Logistics Group) were deputized by the Palau Bureau of Public Safety, in order to allow them to be ‘weapons-ready’ during an international wargame called Valiant Shield.

During the night of 16-17JAN2021, more than 2-thousand Air and Army National Guard personnel were deputized as Capitol Police in front of the Capitol building in Washington, DC.
