Jeez... does Bob know?? --giggles--

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

+1 and TY for the info. I can't see the UN not using M-B power - it's pretty much a worldwide standard once you're outside the US (and especially in s***hole countries). I totally understand *that* - I had a Unimog 406 truck for a while (one of my "toys", her name was "Wulkyrie"), and it was one tough, mean, (literally) go anywhere, survive a zombie holocaust piece of truck (it could pull out bogged and unmercifully stuck forever Hmm-V's and Pinzgauers). WIsh I still had her.

As to UN on US soil - All they need is an exec. order from the US CiC and they're G2G. Those trucks have some pretty specific armor plating layout, "extra equipment" and design criteria that comes from a little company outside of Ft. Worth that does milspec armor vehicles.

If I weren't the suspicious and concerned citizen I am, I would say it all makes sense - Build them in Huntsville... which is probably why they're being "stockpiled" on USGov property in Bastrop.... Being shipped to move advisors where they are at serious risk... for a humanitarian mission somewhere like Sudan, or Lybia, or Syria or North Carolin... er... never mind...

If there is a port... Just Saying...

Brand new Mercedes Benz trucks. The US Mercedes plant is in Huntsville, AL because labor is cheaper there than in Germany.

Besides...even if they were being positioned around the country...the UN wouldn't be able to use them. Poor bastards are restricted from using force. Look up Romeo Dallaire (sp) from Canadian Army. One pissed off General. They were in Rwanda and had to sit there and watch the bloodshed...not allowed to intervene. Anyway, I'm rambling...the bottom line is that I'm merely speculating, but common sense tells me they were made there as a special order. US based companies fulfill orders all around the globe.

No problem. It can be confusing from year-to-year keeping track of the lunar/Jewish calendar ...and Google helps. :)

Just for your elucidation, please take note of the following...

BTW, by the looks of the UN stock, the company outfitting these vehicles is likely SSV out of Claburne, Tx. Similar hardware & configs to their product. Which then broaches the question...

Why come out of Bastrop, Texas, to go the Eastern Seaboard, when Bastrop is a stones throw from the port of Houston?

Unless, of course, they're getting a great shipping deal from some one who, um, ships goods out of, say, Charleston, SC...

Sorry, I got it off what was allegedly a Jewish calendar web site.

If I had a computer with another email, unconnected to anything important, I'd sign in just to read the post. I did check out the link, but it wouldn't let me in without a sign-in and I don't want those tracking cookies on this machine either--even though I probably have them just because I checked the link--going to go remove some cookies...

And the 85th anniversary of the 1929 stock market crash.

Betcha it's more laminated than the windshield on *our* vehicles...

Just curious (honestly - not being disparaging), how do you know that?

There's 4 - in that one video. I don't mind our industries contracting with the UN to provide equipment (and turn a profit), AS LONG AS they are NOT NOW, nor EVER driven or used on American soil.

I wonder where the video was shot. Some clues:
Looks like TX plates (Black on white) on the trailers. What little I could see on the on the tractor the hauler is "American (something)". Shadows show it being around "high noon", and if so, they're heading... west (again, ever see west Texas??). Finally, notice how you conveniently "not see" the license plate on the P/U in front of the camera?

If those *are* haulers out of Texas... unless they're traveling a part of Texas I'm not familiar with, they ain't goin' to Sunny México...

Does anyone recall the atrocities committed by UN forces in Rwanda or other African nations during "peacekeeping" missions? They were out terrorizing populaces, raping and pillaging.

I trust the UN about as far as I can throw them.

... Especially if they're outsiders invited in by the PTB to make sure the governmentally-approved "terms of peace" are being adhered to. Against the will of the people and the laws of the land.

Something to think about... if UN "Pisskeepers" are "invited" in by the "government" to do their bidding, does that violate Posse Comitatus, or are they going to be "rebranded" as "Law Enforcement on loan" to slither around that tricky (and current-governmentally-not-enforced-or-approved) law?

Remember - When UN sent "Advisers" into Korea, it was (and is still termed) a "Police Action"... not a combat mission. Take a while, think on that, SERIOUSLY think of the implications of a "Police Action"...

Have a federally-monitored day (like you aren't already...)

It is also plausible that the trucks were just finished being constructed and painted, heading towards to a delivery-point where they will be shipped overseas. Maybe? You think? Why imagine the worst? Prepare for the worst but imagine the best.

Or take it lying down.

No, and I'm not allowing cookies from them. Ugh!!!! What rat bastards!!!! This is alarming.

That's what a wrote earlier. Those little opening are gun ports, and there is minimal glass. Wonder what the windshield is made of???

Well, I guess that went up in smoke.

Yes... The 9th of Av is July/August. (destruction of the Temple). Thanks. I googled a Jewish calendar and printed it off.
