Forever Wars: Using ‘woke’ V-R to prevent suicide?

Video

14 June 2023 (07:40-UTC-07 Tango 06) 24 Khordad 1402/25 Dhu l-Qa’da 1444/27 Wu-Wu 4721/14 Июнь 2023 года

For the first time, in June 2023, Nebraska Air National Guard’s 155th Air Refueling Wing used virtual reality (VR) to conduct their yearly suicide prevention training.  For the past two and a half years,  active duty U.S. Air Force (USAF) units have used the experimental technology.

Supposedly, the VR simulation helps prepare military personnel in identifying, responding to, and preventing suicidal behavior. This is part of a larger, now mandatory, ‘crisis situation’ training.

Nebraska Air National Guard video by Technical Sergeant Phil Cowen and Master Sergeant Amber Monio, released 11JUN2023:

“I think if we combined the face-to-face training, the VR modules and held small group discussions afterward, it would help people open up more and create trust with those around them. I’m hoping one day every unit or squadron on base can have their own VR set-up for their Airmen to use at any point and time they want.”-Technical Sergeant Gian Carlo Cintron, Moody AFB religious affairs

In February 2021, the active duty USAF began testing VR suicide prevention on Travis Air Force Base (AFB) in California, and Scott AFB in Illinois.  It was a first for the entire Department of Defense.  Since then, it is now in use on most active duty USAF bases, however, and despite the boasting by the USAF, no data showing it works has been released. In fact, a March 2022 article out of Moody AFB, Georgia, stated that “The virtual reality isn’t recommended for those that have experienced sexual assault or suicide.” (hmm, can you experience suicide and live to tell about it?)

In December 2021, a private sector report stated the VR suicide tech was about “therapy for suicide”, but I have not read anything from the USAF saying it is a ‘therapy’, only that it is about one Airman preventing another Airman from killing themselves.

World War 3: Free dental-work for Idaho Militia? It’s all about money & continued deployments!

10 March 2023 (08:51-UTC-07 Tango 06) 19 Esfand 1401/17 Sha’ban 1444/19 Yi-Mao 4721/10 марта 2023 года

Apparently the cost of dental work is so sky-high and hard to come-by (since The Pandemic) that the Idaho Army National Guard now offers free dental services to its militia members!

Idaho National Guard public relations employee, Crystal Farris, reported that on 05MAR2023 The Gem State’s militia opened its first Field Dental Treatment Facility on Gowen Field (part of the Boise airport complex).

The official reasoning is to increase the medical readiness of Guard units for future deployments (never mind that Idaho has been taking part in revolving door deployments for years, and currently has combat troops in Syria!): “Now we have the ability to complete exams and provide limited treatment. This allows Soldiers to receive dental care within our dedicated dental treatment rooms on Gowen Field rather than sending them to a civilian provider at a later time for follow-up care.”-Captain Trey Wanty, Deputy State Surgeon

Also, it turns out that ‘contracting’ with civilian dentists was not saving taxpayers any money!  Idaho joins Arizona, and Nebraska, in taking part in the new federal National Guard Bureau’s Limited Dental Treatment Program: “When the National Guard Bureau asked which states wanted to become a pilot state in this program our state’s leadership jumped at the opportunity. It is going to save our organization significant money, while also providing our Soldiers quicker assistance and improving our medical readiness.”-Captain Trey Wanty, Deputy State Surgeon

The new Limited Dental Treatment Program does not apply to militia members in the Tricare (apparently Tricare is not an acronym, it is a made-up name for a Department of Defense healthcare system) program, and does not offer dental services requiring sedation.

Martial Law, United Police States of America: Christian Nebraska cops violate U.S. Constitution & kidnap family’s children because of “immoral” choice of words used on home video!

09 January 2014 (04:54 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/19 Dey 1392/09 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”-1st Amendment, U.S. Constitution

The mostly white Christian Omaha Police Officers Association’s Child Victim Unit, and the Nebraska Child Protective Services, shot themselves in the foot when they revealed they kidnapped four children from a black family (who likely claim to be Christians just as well as the cops), for posting a video of ‘thug talk’ involving an infant.

Basically family members were talking ‘smack’, using ‘swear words’, and getting a toddler to take part.  The martial law cops admit there is no law against it, but they kidnapped the children purely because the video was “offensive”, adding: “….we didn’t see anything in this video that is blatantly illegal, we sure did see a lot that is flat out immoral…..”-Omaha Police Officers Association, Facebook posting

But wait, even the Omaha police chief, Todd Schmaderer, has condemned the Omaha Police Officers Association for their anti-Constitutional actions:“…I want to make it explicit and clear that the views expressed on the OPOA Facebook page do not necessarily reflect the official stance of the Omaha Police Department…”   This means the cops took it upon themselves to not only be judge and jury, but they ignored their boss!

After the kidnapping the Orwellian morality police stated they found ‘safety issues’ in the house. How convenient.  Mmmmm, I wonder if this is just another excuse for Child Victim Units and Child Protective Services to take part in the growing business of human slave trafficking?  By the way, this kind of bullshit has been taking place for more than ten decades in Palestine by the U.S. backed Israelis against the Palestinians, and in Afghanistan by U.S. led forces against Afghans!

Global Class War: Hungary taxes potato chips last year, now adds cell phone calls! Nebraska already suffering with highest cell phone tax rate in United States!

In September 2011, Hungary joined several countries placing extra taxes on snacks like potato chips.  Full of crap western news media said it was an effort to fight obesity, but a recent Japanese report straight up said it was a way for the Hungarian government to raise more money to pay its out of control debts!

In May 2012, Hungary also passed an extra tax on cell phones calls!  It’s called the voice-traffic levy.  The Hungarian government hopes the new phone tax will create at least $133.6 million USD this year.

NHK (nippon housou kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reporting that Hungary was forced to create the extra tax under demands from the European Union.  But some people have switched to using smartphones which can make calls through the internet.  Hungarian officials did not tax internet based calls.

Here in the U.S. state of Idaho, groceries are already taxed.  It’s fun to watch people from out of state go into shock when they find out they have to pay tax on groceries.

Idahoans are not happy about the decades old grocery tax.  Political leaders have tried to throw us a bone by allowing a grocery credit on the end of year tax filings.  But woe to them that try to add extra taxes on snacky foods in the name of forcing us to be healthy, when in reality they just want to steal more of our increasingly limited money.

But wait, there’s more!  According to a 2011 Money article, Nebraska leads the U.S. with the highest cell phone tax rates!  Combined federal, state and local cell phone tax rates amounted to 23.69% in 2011!!!

Idaho’s state and local tax rate was 2.2% (not counting federal taxes).

“Cellphone users are overtaxed relative to consumers of other goods, and at risk of double taxation. Additionally, the wide number of taxing authorities and the wide variety in rates makes tracking problematic and burdensome.” -Joseph Henchman, Tax Foundation Director of State Projects

The reason this is class warfare is that these kinds of taxes do not affect the elitist wealthy, they target the overwhelming majority of citizens who are not rich!

Government/Corporate Incompetence: Nebraska could have suffered Nuclear disaster last year, workers jury rigging new parts, according to NRC

March 13, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission released a preliminary report on last year’s fire at the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant in Nebraska.  It shows corporate incompetence that could have led to disaster, if the plant hadn’t already been shut down.

The nuclear reactors had been shut down for maintenance, and were shut down longer than planned because of  flooding from the Missouri river.

The incompetence comes from a incorrectly installed electrical breaker panel, which began to smolder and eventually ignited.  The breaker panel was not designed for the existing switches, and was mickey moused to fit.  The result was that grease built up in the panel, overheated and caught fire.

There is more incompetence, in that the NRC learned that workers had noticed a burning smell coming from the panel at least three days before the fire broke out!

The NRC also discovered that the warning siren system for people living nearby is faulty, and there is no back up warning system in place!

This is proof that the greatest danger involving nuclear plants, are the corporations operating them!

Idaho, Influenza

Pale Green Horse & H3N2, H1N1: Two children die, the U.S. now officially in Flu season. California leading the pack, Idaho on the list

On February 10, the U.S. CDC reported that people testing positive for flu viruses hit 10.5%.  The flu season officially starts when at least 10% of the population tests positive for flu.

The state of California is reporting the most flu cases at this point.   There is also reports of increased doctor visits, mainly in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Also, two children have died, but the type of flu has not yet been identified.

The CDC says the most common flu being identified is H3N2v, followed by H1N1. These are types of influenza A, but influenza B is also being found.

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Missouri River causes “unusual event” at U.S. Nuclear Plants

The Cooper Nuclear Station, in Nebraska, is flooded.  The Fort Calhoun nuclear plant, also in Nebraska, has been shut down.

By Sunday, 19 June 2011, several levees failed along the Missouri River, causing nuke plant operators to issue a “Notification of unusual event.” A ‘notification’ is the lowest of four emergency classifications developed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Reuters reported that officials will shut down the Cooper nuclear plant if flood levels hit 13.9 meters (45.5 feet).  Other reports say the Fort Calhoun plant was shut down.  Heavy rain in the Rocky Mountains could keep the Missouri River high until August.
