All hell breaks loose in Wisconsin, operation Patriot North is underway!

Video, Nebraska National Guard UH-72 Lakota joins the fun:

Food insecurity, unemployment, failed national and local governments, and non-stop natural disasters leading to race riots and civil war.  It’s July 2019 and Wisconsin is ground zero for Patriot North 2019 DomOps (Domestic Operations).

New Hampshire Air National Guard medic treats a ‘person’ wounded by a ‘zombie’ at Camp Douglas.

Apparently various National Guard focused  ‘patriot’ operations are not called patriot because they’re trying to be patriotic, the ‘patriot’ exercises are a directive of the Patriot Act signed into law after the 9-11 attacks.

Official video explaining The Burn Pit:

Starting the third week of July, Air and Army National Guard units from across the United States converged upon Volk Field and Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, for a massive domestic ‘natural-or-man-made’ disaster response exercise.

Video of Texas National Guard C-130H landing on dirt:

More than 7-hundred federal and local government employees, civilian volunteers and National Guard personnel from more than 20 states are taking part in the inter-agency operation, in preparation for catastrophic events.

Patriot South 2019 was already held, in Georgia, back in March.  Watch this official promo video and be afraid of what your government is expecting:

“Long hours, employee turnover, equipment failures, wage hikes”: U.S. Food Crisis, February 2019

Incomplete main-stream-news links of announced United States food supply shutdowns, emergencies, outbreaks and recalls for the month of February, 2019:

Over one weekend, 03-04FEB2019, three USAFR C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft delivered food to three of the countries flooding the U.S. with illegal immigrants;  Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras.  The U.S. Air Force Reserve described the food aid mission as occurring periodically through out the year.  The food is supposedly donated, but the cost of flying it to the recipients rests on the U.S. taxpayers.

In Djibouti, Africa, taxpayer funded U.S. Army veterinarians were deployed to help locals improve their livestock. It’s called a Veterinary Civic Action Project (VetCAP).

Since July 2018, the U.S. Coast Guard and the British empire’s Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans joined forces to enforce international fishing laws across the Indo-Pacific: “Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing threatens food security, impacts the sustainability of fisheries, and causes irreparable damage to marine and freshwater ecosystems across the globe. Partnerships, like this one with Canada’s Department of National Defence and the United States Coast Guard, are the key to tackling IUU fishing that threatens many vulnerable coastal communities. We will continue to work with other countries and assist small island developing states in combating IUU fishing to increase security and protect the health of fish stocks around the world.”-Jonathan Wilkinson, minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard

controversial water market approved

snowpacks in the Great Basin appear to be transitioning from seasonal, with a predictable amount and melt rate, to ‘ephemeral’, or short-lived, which are less predictable and only last up to 60 days: “Small temperature changes can lead to large ecological changes. More intermittent snowpacks means water flow is more difficult to predict. We might not get as much water into the ground, throwing off the timing of water for plant root systems, reducing our supply and use, and even affecting businesses such as tourism.”-Rose Petersky, Hydrology Graduate Student 

Taxpayer sponsored horse rustling? Illegal round up of publicly owned horses for slaughter might also have taken privately owned horses, according to lawsuit against Nevada Agriculture, Native Americans, and a Utah company that’s been in trouble before. The lawsuit says most of the horses were not part of tribal reservation herds but were on federal public land and included privately owned horses which were herded into Utah from Nevada:“We respect the sovereignty of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe for activities that occur on their nation’s lands. However, the roundup of the Palomino Valley horses occurred on private lands outside the reservation, involving trespass, taking of private horses and violations of state law. We are bringing this suit on behalf of the residents whose property rights have been violated and the wild horses who have lived peacefully in Palomino Valley for years.”Suzanne Roy, whose own horse was rounded up

A study published by Science Advances claims that you can determine if you’re experiencing a major magnitude 7 to 9 quake 10 seconds into the shaking. I’ve experienced dozens of earthquakes in my life, both large and small, and I concur there is a noticeable difference in the M6 and large quakes; if you’re directly over the epicenter the Earth heaves under your feet, I’ve seen people literally thrown straight up into the air by a couple of feet (I was sitting in a parked minivan at the time and it bounced violently, as if we were off-roading at 30mph.)  If you’re on the periphery of a major quake it feels like a giant dog has grabbed you and is trying to shake you to death.
