For the second time, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB) ordered railroad logistics company Union Pacific (UP) to deliver feed to the Foster Farms operations in Livingston, California. Millions of chickens and hundreds of cattle are in danger of starving to death, due to ongoing logistics problems with deliveries of feed!
The first time UP was ordered to make the deliveries it blamed lack of employees, now it blames climate change! UP claims snowy weather, in December 2022, disrupted deliveries to 20 western states.

The United States has the underutilized Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). In the United Kingdom it is officially called Yellow Card, because when the program was started people had to manually fill out yellow cards to report their adverse reaction to a vaccine. Both the U.S. and U.K.’s voluntary system relies mainly on the victim to file the report, but healthcare providers can also file reports.
The U.K.’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published the latest numbers (23NOV2022, published on 21DEC2022) regarding adverse reactions. Notice below that the number of voluntarily reported reactions add up to more than 400-thousand!

Maybe I’m reading these studies wrong, but it seems like they are burying some important data within their text.
A study, published on 02JAN2023 in Nature Microbiology, gave some conflicting statements, recommending a third dose of mRNA vaccine, yet their own data shows what to me is a high rate of infection for U.S. veterans after the third dose! The researchers looked at medical records of tens of thousands of U.S. veterans, with a median age of 70, the overwhelming majority men, who got a third vaccination from 20OCT2021 to 08FEB2022.
BNT162b2 = Pfizer
mRNA-1273 = Moderna
Under the heading Comparative effectiveness, the study said that after a third dose of mRNA vaccines, veterans had an “estimated” risk factor of 95% for infection (353.9 ‘events’ per 10-thousand veterans for Pfizer, 308.5 ‘events’ per 10-thousand veterans for Moderna). Many got hospitalized and some even died: “As expected, we found a nearly identical risk pattern in the two vaccine groups in the evaluations of two negative outcome controls: symptomatic COVID-19 during the first 7 d after the third vaccine dose…and death from causes other than COVID-19 during follow-up.”-Comparative effectiveness of third doses of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines in US veterans
In the graphic below, the solid black line represents Pfizer, while the broken beige line is Moderna. It shows ‘documented’ infections, ‘symptomatic’ meaning infection with visible symptoms, hospitalizations, Intensive Care (ICU), and deaths, over a four months (16 weeks) period after the individuals got their third mRNA immunization.
“Over a 16-week-follow-up, 2,994 SARS-CoV-2 infections were documented, of which 200 were detected as symptomatic COVID-19 within the VA healthcare system, 194 required hospitalization, 52 required ICU admission and 22 resulted in death.”
A secondary 9 week analysis was done, between January and March 2022, with different veterans, with similar results.
Interestingly the study concludes by saying a third dose is highly effective and that “either vaccine is strongly recommended to any individual. This study provides evidence of clear and comparable benefits of these vaccines…” but then admits “Further evaluation of the comparative effectiveness and safety of additional doses of these vaccines is needed.” Is a 95% risk of infection now considered low risk?

“The strengths of our study include its large sample size, and its conduct in a healthcare system where a very early recognition of the critical importance of maintaining an effective workforce during the pandemic led to devotion of resources to have an accurate accounting of who had COVID-19, when COVID-19 was diagnosed, who received a COVID-19 vaccine, and when. The study methodology, treating bivalent vaccination as a time-dependent covariate, allowed for determining vaccine effectiveness in real time.”–Effectiveness of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Bivalent Vaccine
In a ‘pre-print’ not yet peer reviewed study (released on 19DEC2022), a massively huge tracking of vaccinated versus not vaccinated people (51-thousand-11 people in total, that is big) by the Cleveland Clinic, in the U.S. state of Ohio, implied that if you want to avoid CoViD, then to have your best chances you need to avoid immunizations!
The intro of the study appears to be slightly pro-vaccine, claiming boosters are weak at only 30% effectiveness (at best). However, it is when you read the details of the study that it becomes painfully obvious that the study directly blames high rates of continued infections on the mRNA vaccines themselves!
Buried in the study is a section titled Risk of COVID-19 based on prior infection and vaccination history. The accompanying chart shows that those who are vaccinated have the highest risk of infection!
This chart clearly shows that people with zero mRNA vaccinations have the lowest risk of infection, while the people with the most vaccinations/boosters have the highest risk of infection! Again, this was buried in the study, just a quick glance over the study would make you think it was pro-booster.
While the authors continue to state that Bivalent boosters are 30% effective, they admit that their study showed having the booster, on top of the original immunizations, also increases your risk of infection by as much as “3.5 times”!
The study concludes that boosters are only moderately effective, and that “The effect of multiple COVID-19 vaccine doses on future risk of COVID-19 needs further study.”

By the end of Gregorian calendar year 2022, it was estimated that New York National Guard’s Honor Guard personnel conducted at least 9-thousand-825 veteran funerals in The Empire State. That is not the record, the record was set in 2021 with 10-thousand-431 veteran funerals! And remember, not all families of veterans use the optional Honor Guard funeral service.
To put that in perspective, the United States (U.S.) Department of Veterans Affairs says that New York’s veteran population is fifth largest in the nation. Fifth largest veteran population, but still leading the nation in veteran funerals.
Ronald Thomas, with Veterans Affairs (VA), reported that for the fiscal year (which begins and ends at the end of September) there were 105-thousand-241 Army National Guard Honor Guard conducted funerals across the U.S. These numbers do not represent Active Duty Honor Guard funerals!

California came in second place with 6-thousand-346 National Guard Honor Guard conducted veteran funerals.
The Air National Guard Honor Guard covers funerals for Air National Guard and Air Force veterans, and the Army National Guard Honor Guard covers the Army National Guard and Regular Army, in each U.S. state.
The New York Air National Guard has at least 20 full-time Honor Guard Airman, and 68 on standby.
According to Sergeant First Class (SFC) Charles Gabriel the Third, the New York Army National Guard has 39 Soldiers on full-time Honor Guard duty, and another 60 Honor Guard Soldiers on standby. SFC Gabriel admits he does not know why New York has more veteran funerals than states with larger veteran populations, but also admits that the New York Army Guard also ‘sells itself’ to local funeral directors who help families arrange for military funerals: “We attend a conference with them every year, and put a good pitch out. I am working on making that contact system smoother for them to reach us.”
This leads to an obvious question; who is paying for state National Guard Honor Guard funeral services? It varies state by states. Most states used state-level taxpayer funding augmented with federal taxpayer funding. A few states rely 100% on federal funding. Several states allow private veteran organizations to act as Honor Guards, which are paid/reimbursed with state funding, the amount varies from state to state. Other states allow private donations to augment state/federal Honor Guard funding.

The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) had an impressive, and expensive, replacement for its outdated Cold War era Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAV). It demonstrated incredible abilities for speed, range and firepower, and then was suddenly canceled in favor of a British empire (BAE Systems) offering that is lacking in performance.
In the mid-1990s, General Dynamics set about to create what the USMC always wanted (officially since 1985), a true ‘kick-ass’ AAV, one that could not only match the M1 Abrams performance on land, but set new standards for performance in water. They called it the Advanced AAV (AAAV).
In this USMC photo (date not known) from Camp Pendleton, you can see that the EFV is still referred to as the AAAV.

In 2003, the name was changed to Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV). Even though each phase of development was successful, there were many delays (as many as 14 years worth), and costs only skyrocketed (estimated at $22.3-million per EFV, in 2007).

In 2007, the USMC reported that it was delaying production due to suspension reliability problems. Those problems were remedied, but also in 2007, a Congressional subcommittee required the addition of armor protection against ‘roadside bombs’ (IED).

In May 2010, USMC Colonel Keith Moore stated that the EFV could “generate never-before-realized operational tempo across warfighting functions” and that it is “the most capable infantry fighting vehicle that will exist in the U.S. inventory at the time it will get fielded. It is a very robust, survivable infantry fighting vehicle that has to meet the Marines’ unique requirements.”
By June2010, the EFV was handed to the USMC for ‘real-world’ testing.

However, then U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates had already made hints (before the the USMC began EFV testing) that he was going to cancel the project. Another problem is that the U.S. Navy was considering new amphibious landing ‘rules’ which basically required zero military opposition from the enemy, of course rendering the need for a super amphibious tank unnecessary.
This is a video interview by California newspaper The Orange County Register (OCR), released in August 2010:
Even after impressive USMC testing results, in January 2011 the DoD cancelled the EFV, and the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James F. Amos, supported the decision.
The decision to cancel the EFV was blamed mainly on placating several taxpayer organization calling for an end to spending on long-running development programs, that included the F-35 Lightning-2 and V-22 Osprey. Leadership within the Department of Defense seemed more intent on keeping the aircraft, thus sacrificing the EFV on the alter for concerned taxpayers.
However, cancelling the EFV did not result in saving money for taxpayers as the rest of the EFV funding went to upgrading the aged AAV7s, which benefited United Kingdom based BAE Systems as BAE took control of the AAV7’s manufacturer United Defense, and on buying a new ‘AAV’ of much less capability, which also just happened to be created by the company BAE Systems. It is called the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV).
During the Cold War, Yugoslavia developed their own version of the Soviet T-72, using NATO targeting systems, called the M-84. Now, Serbia is using the new MS (MC in Serbian Cyrillic) version of the T-72.

The Serbian Defense Ministry claims the T-72MS is a joint development between Russia and Serbia. However, all 30 T-72MS tanks were made in Russia. They are described as having ‘special protections’, and is basically an upgraded T-72B1. The deal was announced in 2019, with the first Serbian ‘White Eagles’ arriving towards the end of Gregorian 2020.

On 28NOV2022, as many as 1-hundred Greek vendors attended the Thessaloniki Vendor Outreach Fair, put-on by the United States Army, and the U.S. Consulate General, and the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was a workshop to teach local Greek businesses how to get their share of the U.S. taxpayer funded military-civilian contracting system.

Since that 2014 coup, U.S. led NATO launched Operation Atlantic Resolve, ostensibly to counter ‘Russian aggression’. NATO-Greece became a major port of disembarkation for the U.S.-NATO forces assigned to Atlantic Resolve: “We’ve been doing this at Alexandroupoli for years now. This meeting was helpful… because they received all the guidance they need to get registered and examine the platforms the U.S. government uses. This is always good, to get local business involved with the military operation. We have the approval of the community because they gain something. It’s a win-win situation.”-Colonel Vasilios Yaglis, Hellenic (Greek) Army

But wait, there is more! The U.S. Army revealed that troop and material shipments through Greece will only increase, and that more permanent operations are planned, meaning even more taxpayer funded business for Greek vendors: “The continued increase of U.S. and NATO presence at Alexandroupoli, has leveraged positive impacts to the community, bolstering the economy to include jobs. U.S. military operations have supported the continued growth of the city to become a critical strategic node for transport and military logistics.”-Andre Cameron, director of Transportation Corps Detachment, Eastern Mediterranean-Greece, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command
“With Soldiers rotating there every other month, let’s put up more permanent structures and improve the quality of life. As opposed to putting a tent up for 40 days, we’re looking at pre-fabricated modular type structures.”-Colonel Matthew DiNenna, commander of Area Support Group Balkans
The U.S. Army’s 21st Theater Sustainment Command also revealed that in just the month of November 2022, more than 2-thousand-4-hundred major pieces of military gear went through the NATO-Greek ports of Alexandroupoli and Thessaloniki, and the NATO-Poland port of Gdynia.
