At the end of September, 2022, U.S. Army’s (USA) Medical Materiel Development Activity (USA-MMDA)-Medical Test and Evaluation Activity-Medical Logistics Command-72nd Medical Veterinary Service Support Detachment (whew, is that enough titles?) tested some new experimental medical devices on a couple of dogs. The new equipment was developed for what the USA is preparing for; military operations in “austere environments”, I assume that means combat/disaster areas where all basic infrastructure has been wiped out.

They were testing an experimental medical device which looks like something you would see the future doctors of Star Trek using; a large tablet looking device called the Vet X-ray Apparatus-Small.
The x-ray tablet sends the image to your laptop or smart-phone. USA photo, 29SEP2022.
The testing was done on Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Apparently, the next phase for the x-ray tablet involves testing on those manikin Phantom Children.

According to the U.S. Army, since 2003 more than 35-thousand Army National Guard personnel have deployed for the U.S. MFO mission, in “an almost continuous Guard contribution.”

The U.S. MFO mission has been in effect since 1981, as a result of the United Nations vetoing participation in the 1978 U.S. brokered Camp David Accords peace deal (which includes tens of Billions of U.S. tax dollars per yeareach for Israel and Egypt, for military assistance as well as economic assistance).

In September 2022, the Snake River Brigade’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (CBCT) was busy in Texas, where it was transformed into Task Force Rattler, next stop Kuwait and Iraq.
The Army National Guard’s 116th CBCT is based in Idaho, but has units spread through Florida, Montana, Nevada and Oregon.

The 118th Infantry Regiment from South Carolina Army National Guard, as well as the 285th Medical Company from the Ohio Army National Guard, have joined with the 116th CBCT. They are all being deployed to relieve another 116th CBCT led unit which was deployed in November 2021.

It is all part of the ongoing Operation Spartan Shield. The U.S. Army side of Operation Spartan Shield is called Task Force Spartan, which is dependent upon part time Army National Guard and Army Reserve units. Task Force Rattler will be the second, back to back, 12 months deployment for the 116th CBCT.

Before they actually deploy to The Middle East, units must spend 45 days on Fort Bliss, Texas, conducting final deployment training, despite having trained in their home states for as long as two years, and very likely having been deployed many times before.

To make things more confusing, the U.S. Army evaluation team on Fort Bliss is not based in Texas. The U.S. Army evaluators are from the 189th Infantry Brigade Combined Arms Training Battalion, normally based on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

Probably the most non-combat gathering of A-10C Thunderbolt-2s you will ever see! 37 ‘Warthogs’ from Air National Guard, as well as Reserve and Active U.S. Air Force units congregated on Idaho’s Gowen Field, hungry to chew on the Saylor Creek bomb/gun range, for the biennial (normally every other year, except during Pandemics) Hawgsmoke competition, from the 6th through the 8th of September, 2022.

Idaho’s reign as a top destination for domestic migrants (U.S. citizens leaving their states for The Gem State) was short lived, and is now reversing; more people leaving than coming in!
I’ve documented how for decades the entrenched, arrogant, leaders of Idaho boasted of how things were booming in Idaho, using domestic migration as one of their proofs. They claimed that one reason for the influx of domestic migrants, was that Idaho was full of good paying jobs. Anybody that has lived in Idaho for as long as I have knew that was a bold face lie! I have experienced what I call revolving door employment for almost 20 years as employer after employer downsized or halted operations altogether! If it wasn’t for the fact that my property is paid for, I would have been forced to move a long time ago. (I am not here for the money, I love the climate and the space, which apparently is what many recent newbies to Idaho don’t like)
Here’s another wake up call for our fearless leaders: There was only a slight uptick in Idaho’s overall population, from 2010 to 2020. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the sparse population of the geographically large state of Idaho went from 1.8-million to only 1.9-million, despite a decade of ‘leaders’ telling us that the population was booming. The overwhelming majority of that population growth took place in the Boise Metro Area (Treasure Valley, Southwestern Idaho region).
Here’s another reality check: More than 61% of land in Idaho is owned by the federal government. Less than 30% of available land is privately held. So, in reality the relatively small population is partly due to lack of available privately owned land. There is also the fact that one of President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior’s first executive orders (America the Beautiful Initiative, or 30×30 order) makes it even harder to make land available in Idaho:
The state government owns land, and has been selling it off, not just to make more land available, but it has become a major revenue source for the state government (which might explain its mysterious budget surplus).
Then there’s the fact that rich people from other states (Texas) are buying up private property and then using it to block access to public lands:
By 2020, moving company trackers had ranked Idaho as the number three destination, but now, just two years later an Atlanta, Georgia, moving assistance company reports that Idaho has dropped to 20th position, and the region of Eastern Idaho is experiencing a mass exodus!
While the Move Buddha report admits that people are changing their minds about moving to Idaho, the author still says Idaho is “The Place to Go”! Move Buddha reports that the Eastern Idaho city of Rexburg, home to the Brigham Young University-Idaho, is bleeding residents, and blames it on lack of jobs. According to Move Buddha’s “in-to-out” formula, for every 49 people moving into Rexburg, 1-hundered are leaving! In Rexburg’s next door city of Idaho Falls, once the economic darling of Eastern Idaho, there are now 1-hundred people leaving for every 95 moving in!
But even the top five cities that people still want to move to are on the decline, with Southwestern Idaho’s Eagle leading the pack with a 56% decrease in Move Buddha’s “in-to-out ratio”.
There is still massive housing construction going on in Idaho, all across the state, it has been going on since the late 1990s. Housing developers and politicians have always claimed it is because the population is booming, and it is necessary to keep housing costs down. That is interesting, because homes prices/values skyrocketed, anyway. Just this year, Bannock County jacked up the value of my property to where they now consider it worth four times what I paid in 1997, despite the massive home construction that is still going on around my neighborhood! In 1997, my neighborhood was surrounded on the south and west sides by farm fields. By 1999, the farm land was sold and huge housing tracts were under construction. This never let up, year after year the city slowly moved westward, annexing County territory, farm land being sold-off and new housing development taking its place. The claim was that the population and economy is booming, yet starting in 2001, I witnessed, experienced and documented the economic destruction in my part of Bannock County, and it has never recovered.
Prices for homes are finally ticking down in Idaho, but don’t blame the Pandemic, the massive focus on property development, that was never justified, is to blame. Now, the mass exodus that is beginning to take place will push Idaho’s housing market into the Pit of Hell.
In this report, which chronicles the destruction of iconic Green T, the mayor of Chubbuck boasts it’s “…the beginning of some real good things coming in.”:POPEYES QUIETLY SHUTS DOWN FOUR IDAHO RESTAURANTS!
“ESG is often celebrated as the new and improved form of capitalism, a movement of sorts…. …While some have a meaningful effect on environmental, social, and governance issues, we learned that others are ineffective if not downright misleading to consumers and investors.”-Reed Watson, Director of the Hayek Center and Professor of Practice in Economics
Apparently the U.S. Federal Reserve is joining the globalist by launching a ‘pilot program’ involving the Too Big to Fail/Jail Banks of the United States; North Carolina based (but California funded) Bank of America, New York City based Citigroup, New York City based Goldman Sachs, New York City based JPMorgan Chase, New York City based JPMorgan Chase, and California founded/based Wells Fargo.
The Hayek Center’s conference revealed that ESG is not just about climate, but a person’s gender (The Impact of a Principles-Based Approach to Director Gender Diversity Policy, which concluded that such policies are working), how information about ESG affects people’s shopping habits (Consumer response to ESG news: evidence from supermarket goods, which concluded that any impact of ESG upon consumers is temporary), the effects of such things as carbon taxes and ESG Ratings on industrial polluters (Sustainability or Greenwashing: Evidence from the Asset Market for Industrial Pollution, which concluded that such policies did nothing to reduce pollution), the effects of ESG funding on ‘proxy voting’, and finally, ESG is becoming a convenient excuse for underperforming executives.
Facebook (which is the one who labeled the British Medical Journal’s reports about problems with Pandemic immunizations as being false or hoaxes) uses a so called fact checking network that is run by Poynter Institute, in Florida.
Poynter Institute is a private 501(c)(3)non-profit institution, supposedly not part of the state of Florida’s taxpayer funded education system.
Facebook/Meta outright lies about Poynter Institute being “non-partisan”. Poynter Institute publishes its own newspapers/magazine and owns three fact checking operations; International Fact-Checking Network, MediaWise and PolitiFact. They are self certified fact checkers, no government institution blessed their fact checking abilities!
Also, the Columbia Review Journal labeled one of the newspapers of Poynter Institute to be “a liberal voice on Florida’s conservative west coast.” Not so non-partisan.

Here’s another Yankee taxpayer feather in the cap of the British Empire’s (Commonwealth of Nations) military industrial complex; the new EC-37B has arrived!
USAF photo by Airman First Class Vaughn Weber, 17AUG2022.
Sometime in August 2022 (not sure because the date of the U.S. Air Force [USAF] video says the 3rd, but the photos are dated the 17th), a naked (not yet painted) EC-37B Cross Deck-Compass Call landed at Davis Monthan Air Force Base(AFB), in Arizona.

The old, yet reliable, EC-130H is a military plane from the start, yet the new EC-37B is not; it is based on the Gulfstream G550 business jet. The U.S. Congress has already paid for at least four EC-37Bs, and has left the door open for additional purchases through 2025! Snake-oil salesmen claim the EC-37B is more survivable than a C-130H (what ever-dude, I used to Crew Chief C-130Hs, and rode on many C-130Es and Hs in my life, I know it is one the toughest aircraft in USAF inventory)!

Gulfstream is a U.S. company, but according to the USAF the EC-37B electronic warfare version is built by United Kingdom’s BAE.
(In the late 1990s, under the Bill Clinton regime, MES began taking over U.S. defense contractors. In 1999, MES and BAe merged to create BAE Systems, apparently to stop a U.S. defense contractor from taking over MES. In 2001, the same year the False Flag War on Terror began, BAE Systems aggressively invaded the U.S. defense industry, taking over many U.S. companies, including cyber security companies.)
I discovered that in September 2020, of The Pandemic, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) conducted herbicide spraying over a part of Idaho, claiming that it was an attempt to prevent wildfires by killing Cheatgrass.
U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Christina Russo, 22SEP2020.
The operation was launched from Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB), using a USAF Reserve 910th Airlift Wing (AW) C-130H Hercules ‘Weed Whacker’ out of Ohio. The USAF also claimed that their herbicide mission would somehow not affect the endangered Sagebrush, and they were actually trying to protect the Sagebrush by targeting Cheatgrass.

The spraying took place over the Saylor Creek bombing & gunnery range near Mountain Home AFB.

From September 14th through 25th, the Weed Whacker flew 1-hundred feet above ground level, at 2-hundred knots ground speed, dumping 19-thousand-979 gallons of diluted herbicide over 3-thousand-50 acres. The crop dusting over Saylor Creek Training Range takes place every year (has the Cheatgrass become resistant?).
Some Weed Whacker video by Staff Sergeant Juliet Louden, 23SEP2020:
The 910th AW’s C-130H Weed Whacker is also used for spraying insecticides, and oil dispersants onto oil spills. It is the only ‘large aircraft’ used by the USAF to conduct spray missions.
