On 24JUN2022, the USCG Cutter Steadfast (WMEC 623) returned to homeport in Astoria. While out patrolling the Eastern Pacific for the past 55 days, the crew of Steadfast helped Mexican law enforcement, on two occasions, to interdict drug smuggling boats, resulting in the seizure of 2-thousand-747 kilograms of cocaine.
Welcome to borderland hell under the U.S. President, highly incomplete (just the tip of the iceberg) list of videos and links to news/government agency reports for June 2022:
Between 01-07JUN2022, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) called Operation Cross Check. More than 1-hundred illegals were captured (which is nothing compared to the thousands captured during previous year’s Cross Check operations), most have convictions for crimes including, but not limited to, aggravated assault with a gun, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, hit and run, drug trafficking, and child molestation. Operation Cross Check has been conducted yearly since 2011. ICE video by Charles Reed:

U.S. taxpayers are now being raped to fund heat stress ‘Go-Bag’ kits being handed out to illegals in Arizona’s Tucson Sector! It is part of a 90 days study to make Border Patrol’s mission more ‘humanitarian’, eventually the Go-Bags will be issued across the U.S. southern land border.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol reports 2-thousand-1-hundred-and-92 ‘rescues’ in the month of May! On 09JUN2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol) issued a warning to illegals. The warning was about Mother Nature, and a 90 day ‘scale-up’ of border patrol operations, also, new taxpayer funded heat survival kits will be used to ‘rescue’ illegals. Video was edited for time reasons:
On 10JUN2022, citizens (what the USCG calls ‘good Samaritans’) reported a homemade boat (what the USCG calls a “rustic vessel”) about 7 miles south of Key West. The USCG says the illegals onboard are from Cuba, and claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.
Between 01JUN2022 and 12JUN2022, the USCG District 7 reported capturing at least 52 illegals from Cuba, who were using various forms of rustic vessels. The USCG claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.

“If and when Cascadia happens, the whole West Coast is going to experience upset conditions. Things are going to be upside down.”-Erik Petersen, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Portland District-Willamette Valley Operations

During FEMA’s (Federal Emergency Management Agency) 14-16JUN2022 Cascadia Rising training days, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspected those 30 dams, saying “It’s the Super Bowl of disasters for emergencies, and you’ve got to have a team, you’ve got to practice, you’ve got to have some scrimmages, you’ve got to play some games, and you’ve got to go the playoffs before you get to the Super Bowl.”-Mark McKay, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Portland District Catastrophic Disaster Response Program
After Japan’s 11MAR2011 quake and tsunami, geologists and seismologist working for the U.S. government ‘got woke’ to the fact that old stories about an even bigger event hitting the Pacific Northwest of North America might be true, and a review of historical data, and new research, showed there really is a Super Bowl of disasters waiting to strike. The last estimated magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami to hit the Pacific Northwest coastline was on 26JAN1700. The geologic data shows the Cascadia Event is relatively cyclic, meaning you can somewhat expect such a disaster every so many hundreds of years, and some Earth science ‘experts’ say it is overdue.
Blue River Dam, Oregon. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Chris Gaylord, 15JUN2022.
The inspection of the dams a week ago is not the first time, Army Corps of Engineers have spent several year now prepping the dam sites they are responsible for. One of those preparations is regular seismic studies and risk assessments of the dams. Another is to install briefcase sized battery powered satellite communications systems on at least a dozen remote dam sites. The age of electronic communications/social media has an Achilles Heel; electric power and communication links. The megathrust quake is expected to destroy any old fashioned communication transmission lines (both buried and telephone poles), as well electrical power transmission, cell phone service will also go down. People will need battery operated radios and/or phones that directly connect to satellites (Amateur Radio Emergency Services-Cascadia June 2022).

During this year’s Cascadia Rising event, the Corps of Engineers also realized they needed to stockpile food and water for the personnel who would be working on the remote dams after such a disaster.
The Corps of Engineers revealed another problem; all the dam reservoirs are the fullest they’ve been in the past few years, due to heavy late Spring rains. If the megathrust was to pop now, then all that extra water will exacerbate efforts to prevent rivers from flooding downstream.
Cougar Dam, Oregon. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Chris Gaylord, 15JUN2022.
Yet another problem, pointed out during this year’s exercise, is that there might not be anywhere for helicopters to land: “If the earthquake hits, this parking lot might not even be here.”-Helicopter pilot who flew Local Damage Assessment Team (LDAT) to the top of Cougar Dam, in Oregon, during Cascadia Rising 2022

FEMA’s worst case scenario is a tsunami up to 80 feet high, more than a million buildings damaged, thousands of people dead, even more injured and homeless, and that is if the epicenter was near the city of Florence, Oregon. The epicenter could actually be anywhere along the 7-hundred mile Cascadia Subduction Zone, which stretches from Northern California to British Columbia.
King County, Washington, tries to show you what the Cascadia Megathrust Event will look like:

But, the Utah Army Engineers were not looking for dinosaurs, they were helping the National Park Service’s Dinosaur National Monument to become more functional, and more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act: “We started with the demolition and took out all the fixtures. We discovered an ant infestation, so we decided to remove all the old framing. Then it was on to electrical and plumbing.”-Staff Sergeant Kaydee Taylor

“This is the type of work we love because it’s something we might see on a deployment, and it’s also contributing to our community. It’s a great opportunity to run the equipment and do something real with it.”-Specialist Hans Hurst
“Families, employers, and citizens of Idaho, Montana and Oregon should be extremely proud and reassured that their Soldiers are motivated, well trained, and ready to represent their communities and the United States in a combat zone.”-Major Sam McDowell, commander of 2nd of the 116th Combined Arms Battalion, 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team

They have been assigned the official moniker of Task Force Rattler. They will be relieving Task Force Griz, another National Guard unit consisting of personnel from Florida, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Oregon (which deployed at the end of 2021). It looks very much like the Idaho based 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team is stuck in a deployment loop.

At the beginning of June2022, and while many Idaho National Guard personnel are still deployed/deploying overseas, as well as to other locations within the United States, about 2-thousand National Guard artillery personnel from California, Iowa, North Carolina, Utah, and an Army Reserve unit from Texas (2-364 Training Support Battalion ), as well as Active Army ‘gods’ (Observer, Coach, Trainers aka OCTs from 189th Infantry Brigade) from Washington, invaded Southwestern Idaho!

Canada is a founding member of NATO, and Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations (aka British empire, most Commonwealth of Nations members use an image of the British monarch on their currency). On 07JUN2022, the arrogant (proven by his handling of the anti-mandates Freedom Convoys) Prime Minister of NATO Canada, Justin Pierre James Trudeau, arrived on Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado.

Formerly known as North American Air Defense Command.) NorAD is a joint operation between Canada and the United States. Since 1958, NorAD’s purpose is to defend against enemy airborne attacks, mainly from Soviet Union, then so-called terrorists flying airliners, and now Russia.

On 05JUN2022, twenty-five Idaho Air National Guard Airman arrived on Cherokee Nation, in Oklahoma. Idaho’s 124th Civil Engineer Squadron was one of several National Guard and active military units, as well as the U.S. Public Health Service, deployed to build homes for the Cherokee Veterans Housing Initiative.
The deployment is considered an Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) mission lasting two weeks. IRTs are the federal government’s way of ‘giving back’ to the taxpaying community (like the Appalachian Care IRT, Alabama Wellness IRT, Operation Empower Health Greater Savannah).
Traditional home buyers, families wanting to have a place of their own, have been overwhelmingly outbid by Limited Liability Companies (LLC), speculators and even criminal money launderers, for at least a decade. It is these profit seeking/money laundering operations that have driven-up housing costs, not traditional market forces. It seems that local, state and federal politicians are fine with that. Especially local politicians because a top source of tax & fee revenues for local governments is real estate.
U.S. tax schemes benefit LLCs:
Traditional investors, like Warren Buffet, do not like the idea of putting their money into real estate, yet there is a new game in town involving LLCs that are buying-up homes across the U.S., turning those homes into high dollar rentals:
Using U.S. real estate is so prolific that a company called CRES Real Estate Errors and Omissions Insurance has published a guide explaining how to identify and report real estate transactions that are possibly foreign money laundering schemes.
It is not just the U.S. that is suffering Housing Hooliganism, Canada news outlet Global News shows you the detailed global money laundering web created by organized criminals from Communist China, who are snatching up homes in British Colombia:
