Disaster prep 2021: Alaska gets new D-R-M-K-T

Image

Alaska is known for Ring of Fire earthquakes and volcanoes, so far this year lots of quakes, and the United States Geological Survey/Alaska Volcano Observatory lists five volcanoes as “restless” and even raised alert levels for some.

On 09JUL2021, the Alaska Air National Guard tried a new-to-them piece of disaster response equipment; the Disaster Relief Mobile Kitchen Trailer (DRMKT).

“The DRMKT provides us with the remote capabilities we need to include generator and water sources. We are always training, and with this new DRMKT, we are even more prepared to respond when called upon.”-Technical Sergeant JeanPaul Williams, 168th Services Superintendent

The company that makes the DRMKT, Babington Technologies, retails the disaster response kitchen for $750-thousand.

The fattest grasshopper I’ve seen in the 25 years I’ve lived in Southeastern Idaho was trying to get in my back door.

Despite the extreme dry heat, these grasshoppers are looking well fed. This guy had left behind a little something near my apple tree.

A ghost of his former self, his molt.  Apparently he (or she or it?) had just shed its skin.

Operations involving food service, dentistry, ambulance service, optometry, psychiatric care, and even drug distribution (pharmacy) were carried out as part of Delta Wellness Mission 2021.  Greenville High School was one of three locations used for the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) operation.

New Mexico ANG photo by Airman First Class Lauren McMullen.

The military uses IRTs as one way to train for disaster response, but Delta Wellness Mission 2021 is not a drill or training exercise, it is a continuation, under a new name, of a program started under the Obama Administration to provide free healthcare and food service to local residents.

The taxpayer funded military medical service for silly-vilians program was started in 2014 (OPERATION APPALACHIAN CARE; PROOF OBAMACARE-ACA FAILED, AND OBAMA KNEW IT DID!).

Georgia ANG has already deployed their DRMKT, in October 2018.   It was sent to the town of Colquitt, where victims of Hurricane Michael were fed hot meals.

Illinois ANG photo by Technical Sergeant Lealan Buehrer.

In August 2017, the Illinois and Idaho ANGs deployed their DRMKTs to the Crow Reservation in Montana.  Over several weeks, the Illinois and Idaho ANGs fed Montana Guard personnel working to build new housing on the Crow Reservation: “You can do just about anything you can do on base in this kitchen. We’ve got two full ovens, flattop grill, a stockpot station, a three-compartment sink and then a tray ration heater which can also double as making pasta or boiling water, or whatever else you need it for.”-Staff Sergeant Christopher Leigh, Montana ANG

Minnesota ANG photo by Technical Sergeant Lynette Hoke.

The first use of DRMKTs during a real disaster was in 2017.  Members of Ohio and Minnesota Air National Guard units deployed, with their DRMKTs, to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

Ohio ANG photo by First Lieutenant Paul Stennett.

National Guard units using the DRMKT after Hurricane Maria claimed they could serve 8-hundred meals per day.  If there are a mass of people to feed then up to 1-thousand meals per 90 minutes can be achieved, but only by using ‘boil-in-bag’ meals (basically MREs).

In January 2017, Air National Guard units from across the U.S. converged their DRMKTs on FedEx Field, Washington DC, to feed security personnel during the Presidential Inauguration of Donald Trump.

The Georgia ANG first received their DRMKT back in February 2015, delivered via C-130 cargo plane.

Georgia ANG tested the new DRMKT by feeding hungry Robins AFB flightline workers barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw and rolls.

Ohio ANG photo by Technical Sergeant Joseph Harwood.

In August 2014, a DRMKT was delivered to the Ohio Air National Guard  (FEMA Region 5) via C-130 transport aircraft: “The State of Ohio was selected to receive the Disaster Response Mobile Kitchen Trailer due to geographical location within FEMA Region 5, and state leadership selected the 179th Airlift Wing for this mission due to the C-130 cargo planes capability to transport the asset.”-Senior Master Sergeant Dana Togliatti

The first use of a DRMKT was by Texas and Nebraska Air National Guard, during disaster wargame Patriot Exercise 2013, in Wisconsin.

Wyoming ANG photo by Technical Sergeant Natalie Stanley.

The Guard units trying it out concluded they could feed 4-hundred people per day using one DRMKT.

Wyoming ANG photo by Technical Sergeant Natalie Stanley.

DRMKTs were developed in 2012 (called Mobile Kitchens by Babington Technology), to give National Guard units a faster response time in getting cooked meals to survivors of disasters.  Washington DC ANG video report, by Master Sergeant Gareth Buckland, unveiling of DRMKT:

DRMKTs use Babington Airtronic Burners which can use almost any type of liquid fuel.

The DRMKT has ‘frigerators, uses fans for ventilation and to keep flying insects out, all computer controlled, and thanks to liquid fuel burning cooking units the DRMKT uses only 2-thousand watts total.

When I first moved to Southeastern Idaho (25 years ago), I experienced one of the cyclical swarming of grasshoppers in the region.  When grasshoppers swarm and eat everything in site they are called Locust.

U.S. Forest Service personnel instruct Marine Corps & Navy personnel how to survive by eating bugs like crickets. U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Matthew F. Jackson.

Not only was my garden in my yard being inundated with plant eating grasshoppers, but while hiking in the Scout Mountain area I observed tens of thousands of grasshoppers cannibalizing each other.  In an open field the ground was undulating, upon closer inspection it was a carpet of grasshoppers doing battle, biting each other’s heads off and then eating the loser (and I they were bleeding red blood)!

U.S. military personnel taking a survival course on Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, get a boxed lunch of crickets. USAF photo by Airman First Class Gustavo Castillo.

That was back in the late 1990s, today there is a new problem; grasshoppers (which can fly) and Mormon Crickets (which cannot fly) have joined forces by seemingly syncing their once individual swarm cycles, and it could have everything to do with the decades long drought in the Western United States (U.S.).

Another possible reason is that it was recently discovered that Utah state Department of Agriculture employees ‘mishandled’ federal grant funding that was intended for use in insect control programs, instead spending the money on transportation expenses!

The situation is so threatening to U.S. farming operations that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is spending $2.8-million in tax funding to suppress the new ‘Locust’.  While this situation might be new to most of us, agriculture officials have been warning since 2003 of the coming Mormon Cricket storm.

Here is a list of links to recent local news reports on the spread of Mormon Crickets to new areas of the U.S., and syncing with grasshopper swarms:

Pandemic Logistic Shenanigans: “a supply/demand mismatch” “New Normal”

Image

Incomplete list of links to industry news reports, as of 03 June 2021, which prove the Artificial Intelligence (A-I) driven (yet pandemic-panic-attack blamed) supply shortage is all about money:

A-I driven logistics research company Blue Yonder says supply shortage shenanigans are the New Normal!

Logistics Manager’s Index says demand for logistics will only increase: “This hard shift in economic activity is akin to going from standing still to a full sprint, and as would be expected, it has put tremendous pressure on supply chains. Many supply networks are currently suffering from the phenomenon known as the ‘bullwhip effect’ in which smaller variations in demand at the consumer level lead to wild swings further up the chain.”

Logistics Management article reveals true reason for supply shortage; ocean ports are overwhelmed with cargo ships that can’t unload their cargo: “Given the congestion at ports in San Pedro Bay, we’re seeing more interest in booking freight through Mexico and Canada. This is a trend that we expect to continue through the next Peak Season.”-Brian Nemeth, AlixPartners

The four weeks long drive tested the ability to control a large movement of trucks using High Frequency (HF) beyond line-of-sight highly secure radio communications. HF radios are old tech, but turns out they might provide more radio security now that most ‘enemies’ are using the latest satellite communications and other radio technologies.  Also, it seems HF can handle more data.

It seems the California Air National Guard, and other emergency responders, have been experiencing electronic attacks/problems on its communications systems during wildfire season, as $45-thousand were awarded to ‘innovators’ who took part in the National Security Innovation Network’s Beat the Blaze competition.  The ‘hackathon’ competition revealed there are problems with disaster response communications and data sharing: “This is helping us tackle a very important operational problem of data integration and dissemination….”– Lieutenant Colonel Michael Baird, California Air National Guard

Vaccine Fail: Lack of demand kills military shots? Warnings about new ‘Severe Malaria’! Got Vax-Pass?

Incomplete list of links to reports and studies showing the vaccination campaign is a failure, as of 15MAY2021:

AstraZeneca (U.K) versus Sinovac (China)

Nature.com asks; How did a new variant spread around the world unnoticed?

U.S. military bases in Europe to begin vaccinating children.

United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) condemns governments who are now vaccinating children, says the vaccines would be of better use if given to poor countries!

Yet another report reveals the truth (buried in the middle of the article) about why poor countries are short on vaccines; lack of cold storage facilities.

The UN-WHO warns of “new variant of concern”!

Reminder; the UN-WHO has not approved a single CoViD vaccine!  CoViD shots have only been authorized for emergency use under the UN-WHO’s Emergency Use Listing (EUL), which states “The WHO Emergency Use Listing Procedure (EUL) is a risk-based procedure for assessing and listing unlicensed vaccines, therapeutics and in vitro diagnostics with the ultimate aim of expediting the availability of these products to people affected by a public health emergency.” 

AUSTRALIA: Genetically modified CoViD vaccine nose spray.

CANADA: The Ontario Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction, Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria, is being criticized for revealing that “The study out of Qatar states that Pfizer’s one shot is only 30% effective against the variant that originates out of the U.K.”

CHINA: Republic of China (Taiwan) has been praised for its pandemic policies, but now is on the verge of declaring a Level 3 emergency (for the first time) due to skyrocketing infections!

South China Morning Post investigation reveals that many academic articles published on China’s inter-web are fake, all you need is 4-hundred USD and you can publish anything as ‘academic/scientific’!

GERMANY:  Germany hints at blocking travel to and from United Kingdom!

City officials of Wiesbaden worked with U.S. Army leaders to create a vaccine passport for U.S. Army personnel.  Currently in Wiesbaden, business owners can require potential customers to take a rapid CoViD test before entering their store.  It’s hoped the new U.S. Army/Wiesbaden vax-pass will satisfy those pandemic-panic-attack business owners.  It is not valid in other Germany cities.

FRANCE: Says Biden’s vaccine patent waiver idea is irrelevant.

INDIA: Revealed; fully vaccinated U.S. health ‘expert’ dies of CoViD after traveling to India, his wife finds it “ironic”!

Health officials consider expanding the time between first and second doses of CoViD vaccine, because studies indicate there is a better immune response.

Why Biden’s push for vaccine patent waivers won’t work for India.

India’s CoViD crisis is shutting down global logistics, creating shortages of the products you want!

ISRAEL: Study reveals that the efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is directly affected by additional disease-modifying therapy (DMT).

JAPAN: A retail billionaire claims Japan’s pandemic-panic-attack policies are turning the Tokyo Olympic into a “suicide mission”!

Government bans re-entry of foreigners who live/work in Japan!

SWITZERLAND: Basel based vaccine maker says Biden’s vaccine patent waiver plan smacks of East German communism.

RUSSIA: Nasal spray vaccine ready by 2022?

UNITED KINGDOM: Changes CoViD pandemic-panic-attack rules (yet again), blames it on new variants!

UNITED STATES:  Investigation shows only 12 people are responsible for almost all social-media fake-news about vaccines!

What is the new CoViD vaccine ‘honor system’?

Alabama; University of Alabama at Birmingham claims vaccine nasal spray works good in mice.

Arizona;

The state National Guard began vaccinating children, ages 12 to 18 years, at a drive-through vaccination site in Mesa.

California;  Celebrity talk show host/political commentator Bill Maher gets infected despite being fully vaccinated!

Colorado; Health officials report yet another new variant of CoViD, despite vaccinations!

Illinois; If vaccines are so good why is the gov’na offering $4-million in amusement park tickets to encourage people to get vaccinated?

Kentucky;

Military leaders on Fort Knox are now begging people to get vaccinated.  Captain Shantyl Galloway, officer in charge of the vaccination site, reported that the number of people getting the shot has dropped from between 150 to 2-hundred per day, to just 40! It’s now estimated that by the end of June the Fort Knox vax-site will be sitting on 2-thousand unused (and expiring) vaccines: “We’ve seen a drastic decline in demand……the demand just isn’t there.”

Maine; Vaccinated people in Maine say its not fair that incentives are now offered to get people vaccinated, demand that incentives be made retroactive!

Maryland; Gaithersburg based Novovax is losing money after it was revealed its new CoViD vaccine is only 51% effective against the South African variant!

  The state prison system is now offering prisoners cookies and candy to get them to take the unapproved (authorized for emergency use only) vaccine!

Gov’na praises pizza restaurant for offering free pizzas to people who got vaccinated.

The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA), along with drug maker Amivas, reminded the public that their Malaria Treatment Drug-Intravenous Artesunate (MTD-IVAS) is available for treating ‘severe malaria’.  The U.S. Army along with the UN-WHO have been warning of severe malaria, and working on a new treatment for several years.  The MTD-IVAS treatment was actually approved in May 2020, by the USFDA, but was overshadowed by the corona virus pandemic panic attack.  So far 5-hundred people have been treated with the new drug: “Artesunate for Injection fulfills a critical gap because it is the only FDA-approved drug to treat severe malaria in Service Members and the U.S. population.”– Ryan Adams, MTD-IVAS project manager

Nevada; New variants detected!

New York;  Onondaga County using tax funded ‘free’ meals to encourage people to get vaccinated!

On 12MAY2021, the New York National Guard claimed to have issued the 25-thousandth 2nd dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at the Bronx-Baychester Point of Distribution (PoD) center.

Ohio; If vaccines are so good why are state taxpayers being raped of $1-million, per week, to encourage people to get vaccinated?

Oklahoma; State health officials report increasing cases of new variants!

At the FEMA/U.S. Army Northern Command’s mass-vax site (Community Vaccination Center, CVC) in Tulsa, U.S. Navy medics began vaccinating children, ages 12 to 17.

Utah;  If vaccines are so good why is the gov’na considering using taxpayer dollars to pay people to get vaccinated?

Virginia;  Remember, the CoViD vaccines are not ‘approved’, they are only authorized for emergency use and as such military personnel are not required to get them.  On 14MAY2021, the U.S. Navy announced the end of  “high-throughput COVID-19 vaccination” for their operations in Norfolk.  Navy officials admitted it is due to lack of demand: “We’ve vaccinated roughly 10-thousand people within the COMNAVAIRLANT claimancy.  We’ve successfully satisfied the demand of people who want the vaccine.”-Lieutenant Aimie Terry, Assistant Force Nurse

While the U.S. Navy halted ‘high-throughput CoViD-19 vaccinations’, FEMA deployed the U.S. Coast Guard to the Military Circle Mall in Norfolk, turning the now vacant Macy’s store into a mass-vax (CVC) site.  Optimistic officials think that there will be 3-thousand silly-vilians (civilians) per day using the CVC site.

Washington; For the week of May 3-9, the state National Guard claims that 11-thousand-338 CoViD-19 vaccines were administered.

Washington DC; Reminder, not one of the so-called CoViD vaccines in use in the United States have been approved as a vaccine under the USFDA!  All the propaganda by government officials and main-stream news media is hyperbole, the USFDA has only “authorized for emergency use only”, which is technically and legally not the same as ‘approving’ as a vaccine, mainly because the ‘experimental medical technologies’ did not go through the more intensive testing required for a true approved vaccine!

Wisconsin; Chippewa County revealed it has reduced the amount of vaccine it orders due to crashing demand, only 37% of the county residents had been vaccinated. County health officials confirmed at least one case where a fully vaccinated person still got infected!

Remember, the CoViD vaccines are not ‘approved’, they are only authorized for emergency use and as such military personnel are not required to get them.

On 04MAY2021, the U.S. Army post Fort McCoy halted on-post vaccinations due to lack of demand.  Health officials even stated that many personnel that got the first shot never came back for the second dose.  Fort McCoy health officials are assuming it is because the vaccine is now widely available through out Wisconsin, for free.
