Lint Head

These images are floating around the web showing a massive amount of military vehicles being

transported in New Orleans. NOLA is a big military port for deployment. Is this a hint of what's to come? These images were posted online on 08/26/13. Could be a replacement for overseas hardware or preparation for something but apparently it's unusual to NOLA residence to see this amount of hardware.

They were floating around the Internet a couple of years ago, too, and from the same CT websites. There's no news about transporting large numbers of military vehicles anywhere. Just CT sites. Tomorrow, they'll be re-publishing FEMA camp stories.

These photos are just photos of some military vehicles being transported somewhere at some time. They're useful if you're trying to stir shit up.

... I was driving down a Texas highway and suddenly saw all these
yellow military vehicles that drove by me in the other direction
for miles... probably going to Fort Hood to deploy, but I had no
idea of that at the time. It kinda floored me, so after I got home,
I started talking about it and asking about it. But no one I was
acquainted with knew anything.

That was a few years before I got on the internet and learned
about message boards and email. Nowadays we know a lot more
much sooner.

they're Bradley APC's.



Notice there's no cannon, on those vehicles.

Here's a picture of an M-1 Abrams tank.



But, yeah, that's a boat load of APC's.
