Video report showing U.S. Army and Air Force efforts to save taxpayer money by becoming more energy independent in Colorado:
Not just in Colorado, but the USAF is testing a hybrid electric and battery powered mobile dock system for C-5 maintenance at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in Georgia: “…new mobile lift platform that is able to move and shift as maintainers move around an aircraft, eliminating the time required of traditional hard stands. Direct methanol fuel cells provide on-board battery charging, thereby enabling around-the-clock maintenance operations.”
Christian Evangelical Hobby Lobby illegally imported more than 5-thousand artifacts from The Middle East. The top illegal/stolen artifact dealer in The Middle East is Islamic State, aka DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]). Hobby Lobby says most of those illegally acquired artifacts were meant to be displayed in their massive Biblical Museum in Washington DC.
An antiquities expert went on liberal-left-leaning PBS Newshour and not only accused Hobby Lobby of knowingly buying illegally acquired antiques, but accused them of money laundering tactics as well: “First, Hobby Lobby is a sophisticated importer and they know very well that you have to designate the country of origin, and the appropriate tariff line when bringing these into the country. This was not done…..instead of being declared as antiquities were declared as ‘clay tiles’ or ‘samples’. They were not noted as coming from Iraq, but instead that they were coming from Turkey….. …..they’re coming from a part of the world where….antiquities are being actually excavated by groups like DAIISH or ISIS, and knowingly being exported and used as a means of funding for terrorism.
What they [Hobby Lobby] actually did was pay five individuals through seven different accounts…then shipped these [artifacts]….to several different locations in the United States and without the appropriate, or accurate, shipping records.”-Deborah Lehr, The Antiquities Coalition
Earlier this year U.S. led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) joined with Facebook in creating a fake-news operation under the guise of fighting fake-news. The NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence employed 28 people in the eastern European country of Latvia to create operation Fake Buster:
Fake Buster is supposedly a Facebook game (also available as an application for your smart phone) that teaches dumb Facebook users how to tell real news from fake. If you understand the history of propaganda (fake-news) then you’ll realize that the most prolific perpetrators of fake-news are governments and their official main stream news media. Can you really trust a Fake Buster app created by NATO?
Under the guise of defense against Russia, and still claiming there is no Cold War, U.S. led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has occupied eastern Europe with thousands of troops. In the official video report NATO leaders try to justify their actions:
U.S. led ‘Lightning Operations’ center at the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania.
The U.S. Army also leads an annual NATO war game called Saber Guardian. This year its focus is in the eastern European countries of Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
Video report on U.S. Army logistical convoy from Germany to Bulgaria:
1775th Military Police Company, Michigan Army National Guard, preps for convoy ops in eastern Europe. The convoy route runs from Germany to the Black Sea.
Many of the U.S. troops occupying eastern Europe are state militia (National Guard) personnel. Video report on Ohio National Guard taking part in Saber Guardian river crossing in Hungary:
Another U.S. occupation of eastern Europe operation is called Operation Atlantic Resolve. This year Romania combined their Open Gates air show with Operation Atlantic Resolve:
“It’s the first time in history that a head of state had the opportunity to address the members of the ship. It was an extraordinary moment. I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder to be an American.”-David Friedman, U.S. Ambassador to Israel
While you’all ‘Mericans were gettin’ ready to celebrate your supposed Independence Day, on 03 JUL 2017, in an unprecedented moment, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came aboard the USS George H.W. Bush and gave a speech to USN personnel. Never before has a leader of a foreign country given a speech to U.S. military personnel!
The Israeli delegation were given a personal tour of the ship by Rear Admiral Kenneth Whitesell and Captain Will Pennington. The USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) was sent to Israel “to enhance U.S.-Israel relations as the two nations reaffirm their continued commitment to the collective security of the European and Middle East Regions.” (note that Israel is considered a defender of Europe, after decades of denying that it is actually a European colony)
Suiting up for Chemical, Biological, Nuclear, and Radiological (CBRN), also known as Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC).
On 27 JUN 2017, the Oklahoma National Guard’s 63rd Civil Support Team responded to a hazardous chemical spill in Weatherford, they completed their mission successfully. It was all in a day’s training:

Virginia National Guard’s 329th Regional Support Group used M915 and M1088 tractors to haul trailers during their Annual Training (AT) in May of this year, proving they’re Ready to Roll:
Virginia Militia M1088 hauling boats for the U.S. Navy.
138 vehicles were involved in the ‘real world’ AT mission. They traveled nearly 204-thousand-387-kilometers (127-thousand miles) hauling nearly 216 U.S. tons.
The 329th Regional Support Group was deactivated in 1996, but was brought back to life ten years later, in 2006.
