U.S. taxes support Indian Military Air Show

In the Brititsh empire’s (Commonwealth of Nations) India (India is not independent), Aero India is taking place and the U.S. taxpayers are helping to support it, despite the fact the United States officially does not have any military ops in India.  The show is taking place at India’s Air Force Station Yelahanka.

U.S. Air Force Band of the Pacific members perform for a crowd during Aero India, 23FEB2019.

USAF C-17 shows-off at Aero India, 23FEB2019.

U.S. Navy F/A-18 from VFA-27 on display at Aero India, 23FEB2019.

U.S. representatives admitted the spending of tax dollars on the Indian air show is an attempt to influence the Indian military.  That’s because India is now a financial powerhouse (despite still rampant poverty) and many other countries have already cashed in on deals with India’s military industrial complex.  According to the Economic Times of India, Aero India 2019 is the largest air show in Asia.

New Normal: National Guard honors the Dead

“I volunteered our state to the National Guard Bureau as a national training site because we have outstanding training facilities and instructors. The Louisiana National Guard Military Funeral Honors Team rendered honors at 3,604 funerals in 2017 and 2018. We are currently averaging 157 funerals per month so far this fiscal year, and we are one of the most efficient programs in the country.”-Command Sergeant Major Larry Johnson, Louisiana Army National Guard Military Funeral Honors program manager

The False Flag War on Terror (along with increasing deaths of veterans from previous conflicts) has resulted in state level militia units increasing their funeral programs, so much so there’s now special schools to teach Army National Guard personnel how to Honor the Dead: “We teach these Soldiers customs and courtesies that go beyond military funeral honors. We have to fit what the Old Guard would train in four weeks into a two-week time period.”-Bryan Hines, ARNG Funeral Honors national trainer

The latest program was hosted by the Louisiana National Guard Military Funeral Honors program, from 04-16FEB2019.  It was a Level Two Funeral Honors Instructor Course.  State militia personnel from Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, Oklahoma and New York attended:“Training Soldiers in my state on the proper way to render final honors is important to me because it is one of the last memories that Veterans’ families will have of that person.”-Specialist Christian Lepage, Indiana National Guard

“We are going to have to stop being the policemen of the world.”-Donald Trump, August 2015 interview with Hugh Hewitt

MARYLAND: U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (RDECOM ECBC) claims to have created a process which can detect low-level opioid exposure as long as two weeks after the exposure.  The reason the U.S. Army is working on such a detection system is that super-lethal opioids are now considered weapons of mass destruction: “This is unprecedented research that lays a strong foundation for future work in opioid exposure detection and medical responses to that exposure. As opioids continue to post a significant threat domestically and on the battlefield…”-Trevor Glaros

“This is an ultra-potent opioid, and the level it would take to intoxicate you is incredibly hard to detect, especially in sub-lethal amounts. We can barely detect lethal amounts. If you were exposed, but unsure, we might have a hard time telling if it was carfentanil.-Elizabeth Dhummakupt

In Spring 2017, employees of the Payless store in the Pine Ridge Mall, in Chubbuck, Idaho, survived a sudden Payless store shutdown operation which resulted in hundreds of stores across the U.S. being permanently closed almost over night.
