OREGON: A month after it was revealed that Mexican drug deals were smuggling illegals into The Beaver State (MEXICAN DRUG DEALERS TAKE CONTROL OF CALIFORNIA, OREGON!), in order to maintain illegal marijuana farms, the pro-marijuana state government will now spend 25-million tax dollars to fight the competition, I mean invasion by Mexican drug dealers!

Welcome to borderland hell under the new U.S. President, highly incomplete list of videos and links to news/government agency reports as of 01 December 2021:

On 30NOV2021, about 2-thousand migrants left Southern Mexico for the United States, just one of several caravans:

On 01DEC2021, reports say another 2-thousand migrant caravan gave-up and turned around due to exhaustion, illness and a lack of money!

ARIZONA: Yuma Sector Border Patrol reports increased border crossings: “Crossing and trying to evade us, coming up with some pretty interesting techniques, getting into the salt cedars, and covering themselves up with needles. Doing a pretty good job of camouflaging themselves. We also had a group that buried themselves in the sand.”-Vincent Dulesky, Yuma Sector Border Patrol Supervisor

CALIFORNIA: In the grossly overt pro-illegal Golden State, 20 years after a pro-illegal student funding law was passed, college students who are in-country illegally say they are still having trouble getting taxpayer funded financial assistance (grants/loans)!  The question now should be what happened to that 20 years of pro-illegal student funding?

Apparently in response to the state’s failure to live up to its pro-illegal student funding law, a private organization just donated $150-thousand to California State University Northridge, for the express purpose of supporting DACA (Dreamer) students!

TEXAS: Laredo Sector Border Patrol captured more than 80 illegals, found in a ‘stash house’. They are from the countries of Honduras, Belize, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico. However, a different report says some of those captured are actually from Belize. 

Laredo Sector Border Patrol also reporting the use of vacuum sealed tanker trucks to smuggle humans. Two trucks with 70 illegals were captured.  The illegals are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. The drivers of the trucks are U.S. citizens!

Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol captured dozens of illegals who are not only known violent gang members, but one of them had been deported five times, and another apparently should have been in prison serving a 14 sentence!

The Del Rio crossing again getting hit by illegals from more than 50 countries, such as Eritrea, Lebanon, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan!

Washington DC: Biden’s Director of Homeland Security made a contradictory statement while announcing a new policy that will not deport illegals for not having legal documentation: “The fact that an individual is undocumented should not in and of itself be the basis for enforcing the law against them.”-Alejandro Mayorkas

Biden declares “A Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Certain Additional Persons Who Pose a Risk of Transmitting Coronavirus Disease 2019″, basically most people from African countries are banned because of the new Pandemic variant, except that it has a dozen exemptions including “(ix) any noncitizen”!  Essentially, Biden’s Omicron travel ban is a paper tiger.

Mother of all Money Pits: Why is Biden increasing military operations in Northern Iraq?

Video

An 11NOV2021 Kurdistan24 news report reveals that the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany have created a Multinational Advisory Group separate from the usual coalition operations. This is an attempt to de-politicize the leadership of Peshmerga forces. There are different organizations within Kurdish society vying for power, and this is directly affecting Peshmerga forces’ cohesiveness in the fight against so called Islamic State.

On 10NOV2021, the U.S. military gave away yet more vehicles to Peshmerga forces at Erbil, Iraq.  At least 170 vehicles were given away.  U.S. Army video by Corporal Isaiah Scott:

Video report by Rudaw, 08NOV2021, explaining how small groups of so called Islamic State are scaring off Kurdish villagers in the area of Kirkuk, which is home to more than 20 oil fields:

On 06NOV2021, Kurdish news source Rudaw reports Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga conducted their first ever joint operation against so called Islamic State, in Nineveh Province. The report also stated that U.S. forces were to end their combat ops by the end of 2021.

On 01NOV2021, the U.S. Army’s Task Force Spartan revealed that expansion work is being done on Erbil Air Base.  For about three months now, engineers with 806th Route Clearance Company, 111th Theater Engineer Brigade, have been improving gravel ‘parking lots’ with limestone:  “The limestone is a softer stone that will break up easier and in return ‘lock in’ to itself when packed down. This creates a solid surface that can still be packed down and have a smooth top layer that vehicles will not sink into and get stuck. At the same time, it allows for drainage through the limestone that does not create a muddy surface.”-Sergeant First Class Stephen Jones, NCO in command of the project

On 28OCT2021, retired Lieutenant General Daniel Bolger gave a presentation to the leadership of U.S. Army’s I-Corps (Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington) about why the U.S. lost the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2014, Bolger published a book titled Why We Lost, which blamed inept military/political leaders.  So why now is he advising the leaders of I-Corp?

On 27OCT2021, the U.S. Army’s Sustainment Command conducted inspections of refueling points in Iraq.

A 25OCT2021 Kurdistan24 news report says U.S. advisors are pushing for the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga to create two joint brigades for the purpose of retaking territory recently lost to so called Islamic State.  Other news reports by Kurdish news media indicate that attacks have increased.

On 20OCT2021, the U.S. Army’s Medical Logistics Command revealed that a FRAM (Forward Repair Activity-Medical) team from California was deployed to Iraq at the end of September, to repair and return to ‘operability’ medical equipment at a ‘Role 2 hospital’ on Erbil Air Base, as well as a ‘Role 3 hospital’ at the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, for the specific purpose of “boosting overall readiness.”

During 16-29OCT2021, Exercise Phoenix Fires was conducted near Al Asad Air Base. The purpose was to ‘hone the skills’ of Iraqi Tactical Attack Controllers (ITAC), who call in airstrikes to support  ground forces. The training concluded with a live-fire exercise near Mosul Dam.

On 11OCT2021, Task Force Spartan revealed that the 1022nd Engineer Company, 111th Theater Engineer Brigade, had engineers working on ‘vertical construction projects’ on Erbil Air Base.  This is because more U.S. and Coalition personnel are operating on the air base, and it was deemed that existing structures were not safe.

Also on 11OCT2021, the U.S. Air Force revealed it had deployed Joint Expeditionary Tasked/Individual Augmentees (JET/IA) to Al Asad Air Base, to support AC-130W Stinger-2 operations. The AC-130W is a USAF Special Operation Forces gunship: “We’ve been assigned to support the AC-130W and provide them with all their logistical needs…whether that be transportation, aerial port, anything like that.”-Master Sergeant Charles Willis, Special Operation Forces and Logistics

One of the JET/IA Airman (Senior Airman Autumn Rivas), deployed for the AC-10W ops, intimated that combat action had increased when he said “You know any attacks that happen here, I would say like the other day we had to stay up all night and work all day. It hasn’t been the easiest thing. We do what we need to do to get things done, work at different paces and stagger things when they need to be staggered.”

It is called Dual Status Commander (DSC), it is a relatively new position that gives a commanding officer control of both federal military forces and state National Guard!  At the ‘official’ beginning of the Pandemic in the United States, March 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) had already appointed (Officially ‘at the request of state governors’.) multiple DSCs with several states. The most recent DSC appointment was in Idaho.

31MAR2020, U.S. Military Academy (West Point): THE MILITARY AND THE PANDEMIC: AN EXPLAINER OF THE NATIONAL GUARD’S ROLE IN THE COVID-19 RESPONSE

The DSC position combines Title 32 and Title 10 operations under one commander (What is Title 32 and Title 10?).  DSCs are Brigadier Generals or Colonels, and in most cases hold the office of a National Guard adjutant general.

The DoD has been toying with the idea of a DSC for more than a couple of decades. I know from my own experience that the federales have been slowly reigning in state controlled National Guard since the 1990s.

In 2003, the retiring Judge Advocate for the Idaho Army National Guard gave his last yearly legal briefing by explaining how state governors had been ‘bribed’ with “briefcases full of money” to sign over their right of control of their National Guard to the office of the President of the United States.  He stated that this ‘bribery’ began under the presidency of William Clinton. The rationalization was that the DoD planners were expecting significant events (aka “no-notice events”) to occur which would require rapid mobilization of Guard units, and the old system of having the President go through each state governor was too slow. In exchange for pre-authorizing federal mobilization of Guard personnel, the DoD would give a compliant state the latest and greatest military gear plus extra federal funding! So called ‘red conservative’ Idaho was one of the first states to sign-on.

Title 32 itself allows for a ‘cross over’ of state National Guard commanders and federal officers, with the consent of both the President and the relative state’s Governor.  Until 2011 this was only for what was called National Special Security Events.  The 2011 National Defense Authorization Act expanded the use of DSC to natural disasters.

In 2004, the first ever DSC was appointed in the state of Georgia, not because of a natural disaster but for the 30th G-8 Economic Summit at Sea Island, Georgia!  Correct, the first use of a DSC was to protect a bunch of rich yahoos while they decided how to get more money out of captive consumers.  The New Georgia Encyclopedia says “Security concerns were handled in a quiet manner, the Sea Island region received an economic boost, and Georgia was able to showcase one of its most attractive tourist destinations.” Just remember, you happy taxpayers paid for that National Special Security Event.

In February 2011, National Guard leaders from 13 states discussed the use of DSCs in response to “domestic incidents”.

03JUL2011, Public Record Media questions legality of DSCs, blames it on failed federal government response to Hurricane Katrina.

December 2012, twenty-two National Guard generals and colonels, representing 18 states and the District of Columbia, attended U.S. Army North’s DSC training course.

December 2015, an Air National Guard Special Operations Colonel becomes the first DSC for Pennsylvania.

During the 2017 Hurricane season, 25 DSCs were appointed, but only three employed Title 10 (federally activated) units.  The military think tank Rand Corporation studied the use of DSCs during the response to Hurricane Maria.  Essentially you can determine the true mission orientation of a military response by who has been made DSC, and by the size and configuration of the Headquarters unit.  The Achilles Heel of DSC controlled operations was revealed in the form of massive reliance on liaisons between all units involved in the disaster response. It turned out that during the response to Hurricane Maria that “demand for liaisons…exceeded the deployed capacity of the DCO/E [Defense Coordinating Officer and Element] and JFLCC [Joint Force Land Component Commander]“.  Another failing of the Hurricane Maria response is that the DSC was not given control of Title 10 units, essentially because it was believed that the DSC would not be able to adequately exercise C2 (Command and Control) over Title 10 units.

Rand Corporation pointed out that a major problem with using the DSC option during natural disasters was Command and Control (aka C2) of both Title 32 and Title 10 units. The review also discovered “potential gaps” in Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) training, contributing to “obvious gaps in providing the right information to individuals” creating a “knowledge erosion” during the Hurricane Maria response. The recommendations included increased use of smartphones for fast dissemination of information, and to make the DSCA beast larger through increased staffing and additional training events.

The Rand report also reviewed news media coverage of the Hurricane Maria response. They took reporting data from two rival national level news sources; CNN and Fox News.  While CNN issued more reports than Fox, the trend lines were complimentary, both rising days before the expected Hurricane strike, peaking during landfall and a few days afterwards, but then drastically declining from then on.  Rand also concluded that the best ‘bang for their buck’ that the military got for its Hurricane Maria response was with local Puerto Rican news media. I can attest to this having been a TV News Producer from 1993 to 2001, working in television markets that had large pro-military audiences, and because I was a member of the California Army National Guard and then later the Idaho Army National Guard.  My 6pm and 10pm news casts, at all three stations I worked at in my short career, became number one rated precisely because I understood the military and ‘the locals’ (believe it or not that was one major reason why I got into TV news producing), and could present news regarding the military in a way the locals/taxpayers could understand (My career ended due to political differences between me and the new owner of the TV station I worked at, after Al Gore conceded the election to George W. Bush. I told the new owner that “All politicians are suspect, it doesn’t mater which political party they belong to.” It turns out he didn’t like that philosophy.). Anyway, the Rand study also pointed out that more than half of national respondents to surveys stated the government wasn’t doing enough, I noticed this coincides with the decreased reporting of the national level news broadcasters (In the minds of national level TV viewers decreased news reports of a national ongoing event means nothing is being done.).  I was covering the Hurricane Maria response on BlindBatNews and it was a massive effort (You can review the reports starting with Maria: ARMY RESERVE RESPONDE AL LLAMADO DE AYUDA EN PUERTO RICO!). It was also one of the first involving the use of a DSC. The Rand review implied that the military needs to be more involved with getting, and controlling, the national level news media during DSCA events.

Think about what the Rand report concluded and how the military is now using DSCs in a nationwide response to the so called Pandemic.

In March 2020, the states of California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Washington, accepted DSCs to oversee their Pandemic response.

On 05OCT2021, Idaho’s gov’na Brad Little ’employed’ The Gem State’s first DSC, Major General Russ Johnson.  Major General Johnson is not The Gem State’s adjutant general, but was recommended by the state’s adjutant general.

02NOV2021, U.S. DoD issued a warning to its civilian employees, get the mandated vaccine or else!

Pandēmus Totalitarian: Yes Virginia, the I-R-S will be notified of every $600 transaction, starting January 2022, blame ARPA!

“It is going to be up to the taxpayer, if they receive a 1099 in any form for a nontaxable event, such as splitting rent among roommates, splitting a dinner bill, or even selling something on eBay for less than you paid for it, to explain to the IRS that the 1099 was received for a non-taxable transaction.”-Mark Luscombe, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting

This has nothing to do with the infrastructure debt financing plan just passed by the U.S. Congress, it is a sneaky part of the March 2021 COVID-19 Stimulus Package (aka American Rescue Plan Act, aka ARPA [not to be confused with DARPA’s original acronym]). Starting 01JAN2022, every time anybody uses an electronic payment processor to make a transaction of $600 or more (this includes $600 transaction for one item, or a single transaction for multiple items totaling $600 or more), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gets notified with one or more 1099 forms.

To make things more confusing, there are different types of 1099 forms and according to an accountant, interviewed by CNN, the IRS could get two different types of 1099s for the same transaction because the ‘language’ in ARPA makes it sound like both 1099-K and 1099-MISC (miscellaneous) will be filled: “Again, the taxpayer will have to explain to the IRS that the two 1099s are for the same transaction.”-Mark Luscombe, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting

Each payment processor will be forced to create its own way of reporting the transactions, and even create a way to identify the type of transaction, to the IRS.  Government officials, like Janet Yellen, say this is all about catching tax evaders and if your transaction is legitimate then you have nothing to worry about, yet it is 100% on you to prove to the IRS that the transaction is a legitimate non-taxable transaction or you could be taxed on it!

“When Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act in March, it made a little-noticed change in the tax reporting rules that will make it almost impossible for independent contractors and other businesses to hide their income from the IRS by receiving electronic payments.”-Bradford Tax Institute, explaining the justification of the ARPA, yet failing to point out that ARPA does not differentiate from a contractor and somebody paying their rent. Bradford says that Congress allowed that rent payments can be excluded, but as I wrote above, the burden of making that determination is on the payment processor.

“The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the Act) significantly modifies the reporting threshold …..from $20,000 in aggregate payments and 200 transactions to solely a threshold of $600 in aggregate payments (with no minimum transaction requirement).”-PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the second-largest global professional services network.

All my adult children use electronic payment processors, they do not use banks, this means every time they pay their outrageous monthly rents (they live in an area that has lead the U.S. in skyrocketing housing costs) the IRS might be notified, and then they’ll have to explain to the IRS what it was for!

Pandemic Perfidy: Military medical teams deploy to FEMA Regions 4, 6, 8 & 10! Blame pre-Pandemic nursing shortage that will last until 2025!

Video

“…every hospital in America has been saying this. It’s been said over and over nationally, as well as locally, it’s all about staffing.”-Coleen Niemann, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, December 2020

08 November 2021 (09:00-UTC-07 Tango 06) 17 Aban 1400/02 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1443/04 Ji-Hai (10th month) 4719

Since September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has ordered the deployment of Department of Defense (DoD) medical teams to FEMA Regions 4, 6, 8 and 10 of the United States.

On 02NOV2021, it was revealed that FEMA deployed federal military healthcare workers to Utah (FEMA Region 8).  According to the report, it is to assist in the use of monoclonal antibody treatments (something the main stream U.S. news media doesn’t like acknowledging). In fact, the military revealed that the personnel being deployed are a first time ever ‘monoclonal antibody infusion team’:  “These fifteen military medical personnel, who comprise the first monoclonal antibody infusion team the Department of Defense has deployed, join approximately ten thousand others who have supported the whole-of-government response to the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020.”-Lieutenant General John R. Evans Junior, U.S. Army North

It was also revealed that Utah hospitals have been using the monoclonal treatment for almost a year now.

In Louisiana, Pandemic case numbers dropped low enough that the U.S. Air Force ended its deployment of medical personnel, 26OCT2021. U.S. Army photo by Specialist Richard Barnes.

By the middle of October, U.S. Army North medical teams deployed to Washington state (FEMA Region 10), officially at the request of Washington’s gov’na.  For months the leftist-liberal gov’na has blamed Washington’s hospital crisis on rightist-conservative Idaho, however a recent local news report pointed out that Washington’s hospitals have been dealing with an increasing staffing shortage since the beginning of the Pandemic!  Healthcare workers in Washington are now mandated to be vaccinated, and that has actually made the lack of staffing worse.  It might be that the gov’na’s request for federal military healthcare personnel is because all DoD personnel are mandated to be vaccinated.

23SEP2021, video interview with Idaho nurses who quit because of hospital Pandemic mandates, they warn the mandates are actually making staffing problems worse:

On 07SEP2021, U.S. Army North revealed that FEMA ordered the deployment of medical teams to Idaho (FEMA Region 10), as well as to the Southern states of Alabama (FEMA Region 4), and Arkansas and Tennessee (FEMA Region 6).  This was the result of Idaho’s so called conservative gov’na begging for federal help in August.  The true reason for the gov’na’s plea for help is not overwhelming numbers of Pandemic cases, but lack of healthcare workers, so much so that in August the Idaho Hospital Association begged for relaxation of licensing rules to allow retired nurses and doctors to come back to work!  In December 2020, it was revealed that Idaho has been dealing with a lack of healthcare workers since at least 2018: “…in fact, across the country, around the world, there are shortages of nurses … even before the pandemic. … That’s the thing that limits the capacity, is the caregivers.”-Doctor John Miller, Idaho Falls Community Hospital

Another news report, from 2019, stated that Idaho’s nursing shortage will last until 2025 (based on 2018 data)!

It’s called the Nuclear Infrastructure, Assessment and Characterization Course, and is taught mainly on the INL’s Idaho Falls campus.  This is, according to the U.S. Army, part of twice a year training of anti-nuclear units, this being the seventh time since 2018.

Some of you might remember the spat between the Idaho gov’na and lieutenant gov’na, you know, about deploying Idaho National Guard to the U.S. border with Mexico.  Now we know the reason that was canceled (and by the way, the gov’na and lieutenant gov’na are still bickering over the failed deployment to the border with Mexico).

My Idaho National Guard ‘alma mater’.

As I warned back in August, Idaho based 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (aka Snake River Brigade, The Snake) is being deployed to The Middle East (Southwest Asia) for the next 12 months.  However, on 05NOV2021 KLIX News Radio reported that even more 116th Cav militia personnel will be sent to relieve other military units in Southwest Asia, in Summer of 2022!

World War 3: U.S. Army’s ‘new’ Counter Threat Finance operations! No more Special Forces?

03 November 2021 (04:21-UTC-07 Tango 06) 12 Aban 1400/27 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1443/29 Ji-Hai (9th month) 4719

“Money always moves with a purpose. It’s fun to be able to be this close and be able to determine what that purpose is and to be able to influence it, to be able to disrupt, or inform to prevent or disrupt, an adversary’s ability to raise, use, move, or store money.”-Major Jon P. Evans, U.S. Army’s 266th Finance Support Center (based in Germany), 03NOV2021

That’s correct, the U.S. Army has launched what it calls CTF (Counter Threat Finance) operations, in Kuwait.  The CTF operation is being conducted by what is called a Finance Support Center (FiSC), a typical finance unit that is normally the ‘bean counter’ of a larger Army unit.

“First is what we call fiscal preparation of the environment. We’ll go in and do an economic analysis of a country or a region and see who the key trading partners are, how much U.S. spending goes in there, look at their banking network, and just look at some other macroeconomic indicators like unemployment, inflation, levels of corruption. We use that fiscal preparation of the environment, the FPE, to develop a finance support package, and then that FSP will go into a targeting process to look at individuals or companies to either prevent them from doing business with the government or to produce other effects.”-Major Jon P. Evans, 266th Finance Support Center

CTFs are not new, but this is the first time a non-Special Operations Forces unit is conducting the counter finance op. For a few years now, U.S. Army Special Operations Forces have been running CTFs on the African continent, and elsewhere, in the hopes of financially starving-out groups considered to be terrorist threats against U.S. interests. Obviously this isn’t working in Africa (and didn’t work in Afghanistan) as earlier this year Joe Biden issued an executive order telling the military to prepare to evacuate African ‘friendlies’ as part of the greater Operation Allies Refuge.

The U.S. Army’s CTFs are part of the larger Counter Threat Finance and Sanctions (TFS, don’t know why they drop the C in the acronym) run by the U.S. Department of State.

For years under the George W. Bush administration military run CTFs were debated, finally, in 2008 a directive was issued for the Department of Defense (DoD) to create a CTF policy.  However, a 2010 CTF directive, under Barack H. Obama, states (in its References) that the 2008 Bush directive was “hereby canceled”.

At the end of 2011, the DoD ordered the U.S. National Guard Bureau (NGB) to begin training for CTFs under the guise of counter-drug training.  The 26 new counter threat finance personnel attended a three week training course at Joint Base Anacostia Bolling, November 29th-December 16, 2011: “This is a start to a whole new effort for the Guard. This effort that the Guardsmen are a part of helps build a skill base that I predict is going to be a growing part of what we do in the future.”-William F. Wechsler, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Global Threats

In March 2012, the Army War College suggested that the DoD shift to from counter-drug to “CTF targeting against terrorists and those supporting terrorist activities”.

In April 2012, the NGB made it official and added CTFs to its Counterdrug Program.

In May of 2014, National Guard Counterdrug CTF Program Manager, Captain Mesha Cichon, stated “The Counter Threat Finance career field is in its infancy, so any training our Soldiers and Airman can get to improve their skill set, is imperative.” Also, the boss of CTF at Joint Interagency Task Force South, Tammy Bowers, stated “CTF analysis is so new, we have to reach out to each other…  In a few short years, we’ve developed an impressive cadre….” 

Also in 2014, the DoD ordered that “a common lexicon for CTF, target nomination procedures, and guidance in defining measures of performance for CTF activities” be created regarding CTF operations globally.

In May 2017, National Guard personnel attended counter-drug/CTF training (officially called Criminal Analysts Open Source Techniques) in Indiana, which focused on Social Media: “The online tools, techniques and methods we use to support law enforcement efforts are constantly evolving. We must continue to advance and train our Counterdrug members to meet this demand.”-First Sergeant Donald Cooley, criminal analyst

In May of this year, a DoD review of CTF operations by USAFRICOM, USCENTCOM, USEUCOM, and USINDOPACOM, revealed that they “did not establish and maintain formalized command procedures” because “personnel relied primarily upon their own experience and knowledge to conduct CTF activities.”  In other words, military CTF operations were failing because each military unit was ‘doing its own thing’, the DoD again re-issued the 2014 order to develop a common/standardized CTF plan of action.

Apparently the new use of regular military finance units is part of the attempt to standardize CTF operations.

U.S. Army Counter Threat Finance Analyst: “conduct financial profiles, suspicious activity report reviews, commodity flow analysis and financial document exploitation. These duties will complement analysts existing skills in cell phone forensics, link analysis, open source intelligence and report writing. Their job will be to counter financing used by illicit networks that traffic narcotics, precursor chemicals, launder illicit proceeds and related activities that support drug trafficking organizations, narcoterrorism, and transnational criminal organizations.”
