28JAN2022, A24 News Agency report revealing that the recent so-called Islamic State prison break in Syria caused so much collateral damage, during the resulting days-long battle involving ‘Islamic State’, Syrian forces, Kurdish YPG and U.S. Army, that civilians fled to Musab bin Omair mosque and are afraid to return to their homes:

On 10JAN2022, the U.S. Army’s Automated Movement and Identification Solutions (AMIS) office announced ‘enhancements’ to simplify the logistical process of deployments, such as routing and tracking multiple convoys of the Army National Guard across highway systems. Essentially, the new computer upgrades are meant to prevent traffic jams when massive amounts of military vehicles are being deployed on public roads. AMIS administrators say the enhancements will save time and money. They are planning a future ‘enhancement’ that will allow the military logistics programs to interface with commercial/civilian logistics programs. Supply shortages?

“We knew we could do it, but it would take a long time. We basically rebuilt the entire front of the A-10 without aided engineering and un-procurable parts that had to be local manufactured.”-Daniel Wise, 571st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (AMXS)

USAF photo by R. Nial Bradshaw, 30SEP2021.
The reason why it was sent to Hill AFB is that the A-10 is such a unique, and old aircraft, that parts are hard to find, but many can be locally made on Hill AFB: “A lot of the parts are unavailable so we have to run them through our local manufacturing process and make them ourselves. With any of the other weapons systems, if they have a bad part, they order it through supply and replace it. On the A-10’s, we’re kind of in a different world.”-Scott Oster, 571st AMXS

When the 30mm Gatling gun decides to malfunction it causes extensive structural damage inside the nose of the A-10, including the nose wheel well and landing gear: “It was just a whole lot of structural work, like 90%.”-Scott Oster, 571st AMXS

Then, at the beginning of April 2020, another A-10C, this time in Georgia, also made a belly landing on Moody Air Force Base.
Way back in March2008, an A-10 taking part in a Green Flag operation out of Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, had to make a belly landing, and did so on Edwards AFB, California.
Upon closer inspection of the photo, it appears there was a problem with the 30mm gun?
For some unknown reason, for a short time during the Cold War the U.S./NATO called both the BRDM-1 and BRDM-2 the BTR-40.

Billions of investor dollars have been pumped into the vaccine maker’s coffers, along with the billions of taxpayer dollars used to purchase the vaccines for so-called free distribution to the public. For the past two years the global economy has been forced, by mandates of various governments, to focus on what has become what I call The Pandemic Industry, but will recent court rulings bring that financial/economic Tower of Babel crashing down?
Here’s an incomplete list of videos and links to reports out of the United States:
January 2022: Investment adviser in New York City says 28% of all U.S. dollars were created in 2020 & 2021 (essentially because of what I call The Pandemic Industry), and that continued government Pandemic focused spending will actually crash the economy for everybody else (he calls it a ‘Cobra Effect’). Also, The Pandemic has been used to hide inflation, which is now painfully obvious:
March 2020: Financial Times explains how much money is spent on (what I call The Pandemic Industry) vaccines:
Individuals in the United States suffering adverse reactions to vaccines 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.
Official U.S. government video explanation of ‘no fault’ Childhood NVICP (which also hears cases involving adults):
“Applicants are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Secretary lacked authority to impose the mandate. Administrative agencies are creatures of statute. They accordingly possess only the authority that Congress has provided. The Secretary has ordered 84 million Americans to either obtain a COVID–19 vaccine or undergo weekly medical testing at their own expense. This is no ‘everyday exercise of federal power.’ In re MCP No. 165, 20 F. 4th, at 272 (Sutton, C. J., dissenting). It is instead a significant encroachment into the lives—and health—of a vast number of employees.”–13JAN2022, U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding the U.S. Secretary of Labor’s implementation of Biden’s vaccine mandate
Now, what happens to all those thousands of employers who began removing employees who refused to comply with the now illegal Biden vax mandate? Massive class-action lawsuits, anybody?

U.S. Navy video by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Paul Seeber, worth only one penny Kitty Hawk leaves Naval Base Kitsap–Bremerton, Washington, for the breakers in Brownsville, Texas, 15JAN2022:
The estimated cost to build the Kitty Hawk range from $200-million to $400-million, in 1961 dollars. It was also estimated that every time the steam powered ‘supercarrier’ was overhauled it cost taxpayers between $65-million and $100-million. Kitty Hawk also underwent an $800-million Service Life Extension Program from 1990 to 1993. And the yearly cost (according to 1996 data) to operate the aircraft carrier was $141-million.
The Supercarrier’s keel was laid in December 1956, launched in May 1960, officially commissioned in April 1961.
Silent USN film by F. J. Stitt, christening of Kitty Hawk, 21MAY1960:
Silent USN film of Kitty Hawk’s commissioning day ceremonies, the film’s slate info is dated March 1961, yet the USN gives the commissioning date as April 1961 (the USN tends to hold the ceremonies a month before the ‘official’ commissionings/decommissionings):
In the middle of November 1961, the brand new CVA-63 took part in its first wargame at Camp Pendleton, California. I edited silent USN films (recorded by personnel with the last names of Miller, and Cobbs) to show just the scenes of CVA-63, there weren’t many scenes of CVA-63:
From 05 June to 07 June 1963, President John F. Kennedy paid a visit to CVA-63, to observe the 32 vessel “fleet weapons demonstration” and give a speech influenced by the previous year’s Cuban Missile Crisis. Silent USN film by J. H. Sturdevant:
In May2009, Kitty Hawk was ‘officially’ decommissioned and sent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, State of Washington, for ‘mothballing’. Kitty Hawk was stricken from Naval records in October 2017.
U.S. Navy photo by Wendy Hallmark, 09MAR2021.
In March 2021, while the world was grappling with the new Delta Pandemic fear mongering, quietly the Kitty Hawk was moved into Dry Dock 6, of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard-Intermediate Maintenance Facility, to prepare it for scrapping.

After completing its last RimPac (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) in 2008, steam powered Kitty Hawk sailed past its replacement in San Diego, the nuclear powered USS George Washington CV-73. USS George Washington then left to take Kitty Hawk’s place at the port of Yokosuka, Japan, making CV-73 the first ‘forward deployed’ nuclear powered U.S. aircraft carrier.

At least six U.S. Navy TA-7C Corsair-2 training aircraft were sent to Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron VAQ-34 and converted to EA-7L electronic ‘aggressor’ aircraft. Apparently they were still marked as TA-7Cs?
In this photo you can see that these VAQ-34 EA-7Ls(?) are still marked as TA-7Cs on the fuselage sides. VAQ-34 also flew ‘pure’ TA-7Cs, but both these aircraft are carrying black nosed Radar Signal Simulator (RSS) pods.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily halted President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private sector workers, including cross border truckers. However, Canada has imposed a vax mandate on truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border and already Canada is reporting that the cost to truck produce (fruit & veg) from the U.S. into Canada jumped by 25%!
Canada’s vax mandate on truckers began on 15 January, while Biden’s mandate was supposed to start on 22 January. Canada’s mandate is already causing massive delays in shipping, even cancelations, which result in less product in the stores to meet demand, which jacks-up prices. Also, ‘fully’ vaccinated drivers can now command top pay, again causing prices for end users (consumers) to go up.
Driver’s from Mexico, crossing through the U.S. into Canada, must also meet the new vax mandate.
Don’t take my word, here’s a list of links and video reports:
Truck dispatching company, AFT Dispatch/A2C Logistics Co, says Canada-U.S. vax mandates are double whammy for already struggling logistics operations, affecting at least 38-thousand truckers, as well as prices for food, lumber and oil:
CTV News warns of massive loss of drivers, government official says vax mandates are a good thing:
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports government officials made an ‘error’ in reporting vax mandate for truckers:
