Mother of all Money Pits: More taxpayer millions pumped into Iraq! U.S. oil company gets the hell out, while French oil company moves in for the kill!

Kurdistan24 video interview about Peshmerga/Iraqi government delegation in Washington DC, delegates also attended the U.S. National Defense University24SEP2021:

Over the 22nd and 23rd of September, 2021, while the U.S. Congress argues over how much deeper they want to put the U.S. taxpayer into debt, the Peshmerga received a large ‘divestment’ of brand new HMMWVs paid for by U.S. and ‘coalition’ taxpayers.

The two-day long divestment (basically the U.S. military is giving stuff away, but the U.S. Army officially defines ‘divestment’ as an “investment”) took place near Erbil, Iraq.

On 23SEP2021, $2.9-million worth of vehicles were given to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, on Al Asad Air Base.

Also on Al Asad Air Base, on 22SEP2021, $2.5-million worth of U.S. made (but as of July 2021 now German owned through VW-Traton) Navistar-International trucks were given to the Iraqi army.

In my previous Mother of all Money Pit report I pointed out the sudden build-up of Islamic State, aka DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]), forces in Iraq, but coincidentally there are big happenings regarding the oil industry in Iraq as well.

Interestingly, in January 2021 U.S. based debt-straddled oil company ExxonMobil attempted to sell its 37% stake in the West Qurna 1 oil field to other Western oil companies with no luck, the Iraqi government Basra Oil Company then announced it wanted the 37% stake, but ExxonMobil doesn’t like that idea and in May announced a legal battle to stop it.

By June 2021, other Western oil companies wanted out of Iraq, while Eastern oil companies wanted in.

In August 2021, Malaysia’s state owned oil company Petronas announced it was planning on selling operations to pay down debt, possibly including oil assets in Iraq.

At the beginning of September 2021, French oil company Total agreed to pay the Iraqi government US$27-billion as an investment into oil and renewable energies in Iraq: “These agreements signal our return through the front door to Iraq, the country where our Company was born in 1924….  …It also demonstrates how TotalEnergies can leverage its unique position in the Middle East, a region where the lowest-cost hydrocarbons are produced, to gain access to large-scale renewable projects.”-Patrick Pouyanné, TotalEnergies

Vaccine Fail: India proves IVM works! Western News Media caught in Fake News cover up!

Interestingly, in May through July 2021, U.S. and British empire main-stream news media reported that India had halted the use of IVerMectin (IVM), and even the use of home CoViD treatment kits, this turns out to be false!  Western news media has also declared India’s recovery from Delta to be a “mystery”! Not only did several Indian states continue the use of home treatment kits, but continued the use of IVM with excellent results!

The U.S. news media has also been misleading people into thinking IVM is only for animals, when in fact it is also FDA approved for humans! (FDA did indeed approved it for treatment of parasitic diseases in humans in 1996! IVM is also called Mectizan by the drug maker Merck, who claims that 60-million people per year are using it!) IVM is sold in many forms, and strengths, that’s where people can get into trouble, using IVM for animals versus using IVM made for humans.

Here’s an incomplete list of links and videos regarding IVM use:

22SEP2021: Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis of 64 studies

22SEP2021 video by Doctor John Campbell, explaining the use of home healthcare kits in India, breaks down what is in the kits, which include Ivermectin:

10SEP2021, Fox 26 Houston report on nurse who is prescribing IVM to people in Texas, she swears it works; “Essentially no side effects. So, it baffles me as to why so many are hesitant to use it.”:

06SEP2021: PANDĒMUS TOTALITARIAN judge in Ohio blocks patients from getting IVM!

31AUG2021, TrialSiteNews reports on UN WHO’s reported success of IVM use in India’s largest state, Uttar Pradesh, calling it “impressive”. Indian doctor says Western news media claims that India stopped using Ivermectin are part of a misinformation campaign:

23AUG2021: The Desert Review has been reporting on the Western news media’s “blackout” of success of IVM use in India. In this latest report it is revealed that a state in India that is not issuing IVM is suffering high rates of pandemic, while the states that issue IVM are not!

July/August 2021 issue of American Journal of Therapeutics states “Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”

Results of IVM study (Antiviral effect of high-dose ivermectin in adults with COVID-19: A proof-of-concept randomized trial, published in July 2021), stated “Mean ivermectin plasma concentration levels correlated with viral decay rate.” In other words, IVM sped up the destruction of viruses!

15JUN2021: Study titled The mechanisms of action of Ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2: An evidence-based clinical review article, explains in a complicated scientific way how IVM interferes with the coronavirus’s ability to bind with your cell’s ACE-2 receptors.

07JUN2021: Indian lawyers sue UN WHO for spreading misinformation about success of IVM: “…your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.”-Indian Bar Association

My Immigrant Idaho: Chobani to hire Afghan refugees, par for the course for Biden, and a Turkish owned company!

A company with the world’s largest yogurt operation (located in Idaho), accused in the past of favoring immigrant and refugees over U.S. citizens, as employees, and of course denying those accusations, has announced (on 21SEP2021) that it wants Afghan refugees to fill their vacant positions, and is creating a coalition of more than 30 companies that will do the same!

The owner of Chobani is also not a U.S. citizen (just like Elon Musk is not), even though he has been living in the United States since 1994!  Hamdi Ulukaya is described by Wikipedia as “a Turkish businessman, activist, and philanthropist of Kurdish descent based in the United States.”

In 2005, using a U.S. Small Business Administration loan, Ulukaya bought a defunct Kraft yogurt factory in New York.  He called his new business Agro Farma.  By 2007 he had changed the name to Chobani.

Chobani yogurt facility, Twin Falls, Idaho, December 2012.

In 2012, Chobani opened what was then called the largest yogurt factory in the world, in Twin Falls, Idaho.

In 2014, Ulukaya began funding refugee operations around the world, starting with a $2-million donation to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

It should also be known that Ulukaya has made huge donations within the United States, helping local communities struggling with the never recovering bad economy.  He has also expressed concern and support for the U.S. dairy farmers.

2015, CNN report saying Ulukaya wants all U.S. corporations to hire refugees:

In 2016, a New York Times article stated that Chobani was “employing more than 300 refugees”.

2016, Fox News reports that people want to boycott Chobani for hiring refugees over citizens:

Gov’na Brad Little attends a Chobani grand opening ceremony.

2017, Idaho’s current gov’na, Brad Little, praised Chobani saying “Chobani has worked hard to make itself an integral part of the Magic Valley community. Chobani’s latest investment in its state-of-the-art Innovation & Community Center underscores its commitment to Idaho. We are grateful to the leadership and employees at Chobani for their continued dedication to excellence, which only serves to help us in our goal to make Idaho a place where our children and grandchildren choose to stay.” Really? Then why are so many of Idaho’s youth leaving The Gem State?

In 2018, pro-British empire CNN called Ulukaya a “US billionaire” (note CNN doesn’t punctuate US, which is typical British grammar, not U.S. grammar) even though his official citizenship is still with Turkey, and claims the number of refugees and immigrants employed by Chobani is only 30% of Chobani’s total number of workers. 

2019, Ulukaya explains why he hires refugees:

February 2021, WKTVNEWSChannel2 report on Chobani and Utica’s refugee population:

May 2021, KTVB report on why Idaho refugee organizations are expecting a flood of refugees:

Read on indeed.com what employees at Chobani’s Twin Falls, Idaho, operation think.

Read on glassdoor.com what Chobani employees around the world think.

A new documentary claims Chobani puts employees before profit.  Do an internet search for all the food donations Chobani makes around the world every year and you will wonder how does Chobani have anything left over to sell, and, how can it afford to pay its employees?

Chobani makes vegan yogurt.

Chobani goes public, makes 2021 debut on stockmarket.

In 2012, Ulukaya’s ex-wife sued him, saying she was owned money from previous investments.

In 2013, a Californian sued Chobani after an outbreak of mold.  The U.S. FDA confirmed 220 people reported they were sickened after eating Chobani products. 

In 2014, Chobani was sued for copyright infringement.

Also in 2014, Chobani sued over its claim of being Greek yogurt.

The only time I’ve had Chobani yogurt was about five years ago when I was totally reliant upon food from charities.  It was slimy and tasted bad, but then again it could have been sitting on a shelf for a long time, which in the case of donated foods is typical, I was routinely given food products that were several months past their ‘use by’ dates.  If I can’t find a job soon (and I’ve been told by several HR managers that it is because of my age) I’ll be forced to return to relying on food pantries/banks.  Oh by the way, in 2017, lawsuits filed by former employees at the Twin Falls, Idaho, Chobani factory claimed the company discriminated based on sex and age.

Also in 2017, Chobani lawyers stated that claims against Chobani of employment of violent refugees “…have caused and continue to cause harm to Idaho residents…”

In 2018, a former employee of the Twin Falls factory sued Chobani, saying the company discriminated against her because of her disability.

Also in 2018, Chobani itself filed a lawsuit against the Twin Falls School District, saying the school district overcharged Chobani for property tax/fees.

In October 2019, New York’s Unadilla Valley Central School District was given additional time, by a judge, to justify the property tax/fees for the Chenango County Chobani factory. In 2017, Chobani itself filed a lawsuit against the Unadilla Valley Central District, saying the school district overcharged Chobani for property tax/fees.

In October 2020, Chobani was sued for false advertising regarding its vanilla yogurt.

Also in 2020, Chobani was sued regarding its claim of 45% less sugar.

In May 2021, Chobani was sued for false advertising regarding its low-fat Greek yogurt.

In July 2021, Chobani was accused of misrepresenting certification by Fair Trade USA (a non-profit organization).

Vehicle I-D: Turkish Tempest

Kundağı Motorlu Topçu = Self-propelled Artillery (SpA)

Kundağı Motorlu Obüs = Self-propelled Howitzer (SpH)

Firtina = Tempest (most often loosely translated as storm, but a Tempest is an English word for a particularly violent storm, which artillery bombardments certainly are)

Turkey’s T-155 Firtina (Tempest) is a co-development with Republic of Korea’s (South Korea) K9 Thunder.  The turret of the T-155 looks more like that of the Panzerhaubitze, than the K9.  In 2012, an Israeli news outlet reported that the US$1-billion Kundağı Motorlu Topçu deal, between Turkey and South Korea, allowed Turkey to modify the K9 as it saw fit, which included systems designed by Germany.

Vehicle I-D: PS-1/US-1A/US-2 Flying Boat

Shin-Meiwa Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha (新明和工業株式会社), now called ShinMaywa Industries Limited, was known during World War Two as the Kawanishi Aircraft Company.  During the 1950s-60s, Shin-Meiwa set to work on a new patrol flying boat for Japan, developing the PS-1 and US-1A.

ShinMaywa video, 50th Flying Boat constructed, rollout ceremony, 26NOV2020:

First flight of the prototype PX-S was in October 1967. The production Patrol Seaplane-1 (PS-1, aka SS-2) flying boat is a anti-ship combat aircraft which does not have conventional landing gear, it is not amphibious as the ‘landing gear’ is actually beaching gear (with each main gear leg having one wheel/tire) and cannot withstand the impact of landing on a runway.

ShinMaywa flying boats incorporate a ‘spray suppressor’ around the forward hull, to allow rough seas handling.

In October 1974, the prototype US-1 first flew.

Photo via ShinMaywa Industries.

The US-1A (aka PS-1 Kai, aka SS-2A) is a Search And Rescue (SAR) plane that has conventional landing gear (with each main gear leg having two wheels/tires) which allows the flying boat to land on a paved runway, making it a true amphibious aircraft. The visual difference between a PS-1 and US-1 is the bulge housing the conventional type landing gear on the US-1, the PS-1 has no side fuselage bulge.

Vietnam era SkyCrane recovers WW2 era Flying Boat

Alaska Army National Guard photo by Sergeant Kevin L. Bishop.

In Gregorian year 1987, an Alaskan Army National Guard Sikorsky CH-54B Tahre (aka Skycrane) was used to recover a World War Two era (built in 1943) OA-10 PBY Catalina, which had been abandoned on Dago Lake in 1947, and sold as scrap for a whopping $58!

AANG photo by Sergeant Kevin L. Bishop.

The Canadian Vickers built Catalina was abandoned due to engine problems. While rotting near Dago Lake it got the nickname Queen of Dago Lake, while Dago Lake got the nickname PBY Lake.  In the 1980s, the members of the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum decided to fund a recovery operation with the help of the Army National Guard. The original hope was to restore the flying boat to operational condition.

Two moves by helicopter were made in 1984 and 1987.

The first try failed after a strap broke, forcing the Catalina to be abandoned again, this time on Lake Clark Pass.

August 2020: AFTER 75 YEARS THE WAR IS STILL OVER!

Biden is a British Empire Red Coat? New alliance for future war with China!

Via U.S. Department of State.

16SEP2021, the United States Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State meet for consultations, after the AUKUS announcement, with the Defence Minister and Foreign Minister of Australia (member of British Empire Commonwealth).

16SEP2021, Indian (India is a member of the British Empire Commonwealth) news commentator tries to explain the silliness of AUKUS, and why AUKUS does not include Canada and New Zealand (Commonwealth members and also Five Eyes members):

16SEP2021, German state run news outlet speculates that the true reason for AUKUS is to counter the economic sanctions that China placed against Australia:

AUKUS= Australia United Kingdom United States

“The first major initiative of AUKUS will be to deliver a nuclear-powered submarine fleet for Australia.”– Scott Morrison, Prime Minister of Australia

“…perhaps most significantly, the UK, Australia, and the U.S. will be joined even more closely together…”-Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of United Kingdom

“AUKUS will bring together our sailors, our scientists, and our industries to maintain and expand our edge in military capabilities and critical technologies, such as cyber, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and undersea domains.”-Joe Biden, President of the United States

Official Pro-British Empire White House video supporting the new alliance, comments by leaders of U.S., UK and Australia, 15SEP2021 (Australian PM mentions the evil British Empire led Five Eyes network, see more about Five Eyes below):

U.S., UK and Australian leaders say AUKUS is in reaction to developments in the Indo-Pacific, everybody knows they are talking about China, and North Korea.  The creation of AUKUS is just another step closer to confrontation with China and can be traced back to the Obama era ‘Pivot to Asia’: “Although Mr. Obama has cut military spending in various parts of the world, it has remained largely unchanged in Asia. By 2020 the Pentagon plans to deploy 60 percent of its warships in the Pacific and 40 percent in the Atlantic, compared with the current 50-50 split.”-New York Times, October 2013

It should also be noted that unprecedented alliances between Australia and the United States also began with Barack Obama: 2016; OBAMA REGIME SECRET REFUGEE DEAL WITH AUSTRALIA!

Official U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) John Francis Kirby statement on AUKUS, calling the U.S.-Australia alliance “unbreakable”, 15SEP2021:

On 02SEP2021, the Royal Australian Navy visited the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Rhode Island: “Australia is unique in that they don’t just want to buy, they want to look under the hood.”-Trevor Kelly-Bissonnette, NUWC, commenting on the visit by Australian Navy officials, statement published on 14SEP2021

U.S. Navy photo by James Travassos, 02SEP2021.

“As Australia transitions to a new class of conventionally powered submarine in the early 2030s, it is important that Australia remains as interoperable with the U.S. as possible, leveraging their significantly larger industrial and technological base but providing support and unique, niche capabilities in return. In order to achieve this, it is important that we bring the Australian public support onside to support us in our endeavors. Given the often secretive nature of our line of work, visits like this are all the more important to educate our ministers and career politicians of the strength of our allied relationship. The last two visits to NUWC by Australian have been remarkably successful in this regard.”-Commander Neil Carson, Royal Australian Navy Joint Program Office for Australia and the U.S., statement published on 14SEP2021

In February of this year, the U.S. DoD conducted Pacific ‘island hopping’ training called Exercise Turning Point, as well as concluding Pacific wargame Sea Dragon.

The NATO Member U.S. already shares its nuclear secrets with the NATO Member United Kingdom, now under AUKUS, NATO Partner Australia will get that information for the purpose of building nuclear submarines.  NATO Member France is upset because the new AUKUS alliance could destroy a deal Australia made to use French nuclear sub technology.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison talks about AUKUS and the nuclear sub deal, admits it is about controlling global trade, says it is a “forever partnership” that has been in the works since the 1950’s ANZUS (Australia New Zealand United States) alliance, reveals that Australia’s demands for its military “will only go up” in the near future:

Could the true reason for the creation of AUKUS be that the Commonwealth of Nations is in trouble?  New Zealand has apparently banned any AUKUS submarines from its territorial water!

AUKUS Defence Pact: New Zealand’s exclusion reflects our ‘friend, not ally’ status with the US

The Balfour Declaration of 1926 created a new form of the British Empire called The Commonwealth of Nations.  Members are not truly independent, they are autonomous and supposedly ‘voluntary members’, yet they are required to maintain “allegiance to the Crown”.

In 1949, it was declared that the King/Queen of England is now the official boss of The Commonwealth.

Each member is expected to fund Commonwealth activities, although officially that funding is voluntary.  However, at the beginning of 2020 the Queen of England joined Australia and New Zealand by halting funding, from the United Kingdom, because she didn’t like the way the Commonwealth Secretariat was handling the money! Funding was resumed in May 2020.

And don’t think it isn’t expanding: “The Commonwealth’s roots go back to the British Empire. But today any country can join the modern Commonwealth. The last country to join the Commonwealth was Rwanda in 2009.”

“This is an exercise evolution of the Rally in the Valley 2020 exercise conducted in West Virginia. Our efforts will prepare Reserve and National Guard units to execute at the speed and range required to take on near-peer adversaries. Additional training included combat airlift as well as multi-capable mobility Airmen who are able to refuel and re-arm aircraft in austere locations with minimal support.”-Major Christopher Acs, 327th Airlift Squadron, U.S. Air Force Reserve (USAFR)

13SEP2021 saw a dramatic opening to wargame Rally in the Rockies 2021; for the first time a C-130J Super Hercules intentionally landed on U.S. Route 287, in the middle of nowhere rural Wyoming (near Rawlings)!

U.S. Air Force Reserve video by Major Ashely Walker, 13SEP2021:

WANG photo by Jacqueline Marshall.

So far, all the news outlets reporting this landing are calling it Highway 287 which is incorrect.  It is officially U.S. Route 287 (aka US287).  It would be okay if they wrote highway with a lower case ‘h’, but they use an upper case ‘H’ which indicates an official title.

Cowboy State Daily’s quick slo-mo video of landing:

Anybody thinking about the Cold War era movie Red Dawn, supposedly taking place in next-door-from-Wyoming Colorado?

USAFR photo by Major Ashley Walker.

Rally in the Rockies is scheduled to run from September 13th through the 16th.  It involves 12 military units from various state National Guards and the USAFR, as well as the Wyoming Department of Transportation.  The wargame is preparation for combat operations within the United States, for ‘contested areas’!

The first day of Rally in the Rockies also involved USAFR C-130Hs operating from a Landing Zone near Guernsey, Wyoming.  The wargame simulating conflict inside the United States involved the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

Mother of all Money Pits: Yet another massive give-away of U.S. military might, in Iraq! Turkey cries Foul!

“One request that I have of the Peshmerga is that as you take control of the vehicles today, treat them like your own vehicles because this is just the beginning.”Colonel Todd Burroughs, Deputy Director of U.S. Military Advisor Group-North (MAG-North), 08SEP2021

U.S. Army photo by Specialist Trevor Franklin.

On 08SEP2021, at Erbil, the U.S. military ‘divested’ yet another round of brand new ground vehicles to the Kurdish Peshmerga.

USA photo by Specialist Trevor Franklin.

This included front-end loaders, trucks made by Navistar-International, tankers made by German owned Freightliner, and of course, AM General‘s uparmored HMMWV.

USA photo by Specialist Trevor Franklin.

The Peshmerga is considered by the U.S. government to be an Iraqi government militia staffed by Kurds.  NATO Turkey considers Iraqi Kurds to be largely Kurdistan Workers Party (aka PKK), and that the Syrian Kurds (People’s Protection Units, aka YPG) are simply the Syrian branch of PKK.  This is troublesome for NATO, because ever since 1997 the U.S. Department of State itself considers the PKK to be a terrorist organization.  This pro-Turkey news outlet video insinuates that the NATO United States support of Iraqi Kurds (Peshmerga) and Syrian YPG is being used against NATO Turkish forces:

But wait there’s more!

On  09SEP2021, the U.S. military gave the Iraqi forces 20 more HMMWVs! The divestment took place on the usual location, Al Asad Air Base.

But wait there’s more!

USA photo by Specialist Clara Soria-Hernandez.

On 06SEP2021, also on Al Asad Air Base, 22 vehicles and 10 pallets of ammunition were given free of charge (U.S. taxpayer expense) to Iraqi forces!

Since Joe Biden began his reign as President of the United State, the U.S. Department of Defense has greatly ramped-up military giveaways to Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga militia.  In fact, by the end of this year just the Peshmerga alone are going to get “…12 brigades worth of equipment to the Ministry of Peshmerga’s Regional Guard Brigades. It’s about $166 million worth of equipment that will be issued out” according to Colonel David Williams, a former U.S. Army Director of the Kurdistan Coordination Center.

Just imagine how the U.S. economy could be revved-up if struggling U.S. truckers and construction contractors were given these vehicles!
