Amazingly, the U.S. Army itself says the reason for the latest cross border raid is to defeat Islamic State, aka ISIS, aka ISIL, aka DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria])!

“During Fiscal Year 2019, more than 71% of migrants apprehended at the U.S. Southwest border came from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras….”-U.S. Department of Homeland Security, December 2020

Terrible living conditions has always been the official reason given for periodic swarms of migrants moving from Central American countries to the United States. In 2021, the main stream news media added climate change weather and pandemic events to that excuse. Over the decades it’s usually three countries that are the dominant providers of migrants; El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Do your research and you’ll discover that the U.S. is directly involved in those three countries, and has been for more than a hundred years.
Ah yes, the Asylum Cooperation Agreements which the main stream news media never talks about. Agreements which would have greatly reduced people migrating from those specific three Central American countries, what happened to them? Why, the new El Presidente Joe Biden reneged on them!

Two short lived C-27J Spartans sit mummified on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB), Arizona, 02JUN2016. Spartans were being interned at Davis-Monthan in 2013.
Video by Airman First Class Kelly Greenwell, Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMaRG) personnel mummifying an Ohio Air National Guard (ANG) C-27J with ‘spraylat’, 24OCT2013:
The Lockheed Martin-Leonardo Alenia Aermacchi (aka Leonardo Company) C-27J Spartan is a modernized version of the Aeritalia-Alenia Aeronautica G.222 (aka C-27A). The ‘J’ denotes that it uses the same engines and similar avionics as the C-130J Super Hercules. The concept for the C-27J was apparently suggested in 1997, the first flight of a C-27J was in September 1999. In June 2007, the U.S. Army (USA) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) decided to try the C-27J for their ‘Joint Cargo Aircraft’ operations. By 2009, the USA/Army National Guard Bureau decided they didn’t like the C-27J and gave their Spartans to the USAF/Air National Guard Bureau. The USA said their Chinook, and other utility helicopters, were much more cost effective at tactical transport, than the C-27J.

Despite the publicity over the mishandling of the U.S. Spartan program, and mothballing of ANG aircraft, the C-27J is very much alive, in use with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOC).

However, in 2008 personnel with the Combat Repair Team, Bravo Company, 225th Brigade Support Battalion, claimed they ‘found’ the old M8 Greyhound armored car in the Camp Taji ‘boneyard’.
USA photo by Private First Class Lyndsey Prax.
There were reports that ‘higher-ups’ of the 225th Brigade Support Battalion were trying to find a way to justify bringing the old World War Two survivor back to Schofield Barracks, in Hawaii. There were even local newspaper articles about it.
USA photo by Private First Class Lyndsey Prax.
So far, I have found nothing indicating that the Iraqi M8 ever got to Hawaii. I’ve read an armor registry forum which stated there was an M8 on display in Hawaii, but nobody has posted any photos of it. Schofield Barracks has the Tropic Lighting Museum, but among all the photos of the museum displays there is no M8.
I have found a website called Paratrooper Research Team, which has photos, via Christopher Carney, of a black painted M8 Greyhound on Camp Taji, and going by the dented stowage rack in between the front and rear fenders, I think its the same M8 in the above photos.

There were so many M8 Greyhounds produced that you can find many working examples taking part in World War Two reenactments.
USA photo by Pascal Demeuldre.
This M8 was taking part in the 2014 reenactment of the Battle of the Bulge, in Belgium.
In the 1980s, Brazil built a new version of the M8, called the EE-9 Cascavel, and yes Iraq bought it.
This is an Iraqi EE-9 Cascavel, destroyed during the 1991 Operation Desert Storm.
The above photo purports to show 35 operational Iraqi EE-9s, as of 2008.

The military calls it ‘divestiture’, when they retire a major piece of military equipment. Under the National Defense Authorization Act, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) is required to divest 17 B-1B Lancers (aka Bones) in order to justify buying the new B-21 Raider (a new version of the B-2).

Also in the Fauci interview he refers to “a fund” to compensate people injured by vaccines. That fund was established by the U.S. government decades ago due to the fact that people are being injured or killed by vaccines, it’s called National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Idaho; In Chubbuck, the 27 years old Red Lobster suddenly shutdown on 13Mar2021, posting a note on the door blaming pandemic panic-attack restrictions (of which there are none mandated in Chubbuck!), and despite the fact they are crowded at the lunch and diner hours (local reports say the restaurant was packed as usual the night before the sudden shutdown)! While the corporate statement partly blames “government actions” regarding CoViD-19, it actually shutdown due to a failed attempt at a new rent scheme with the owners of Pine Ridge Mall: “This is without question the most challenging time Red Lobster has faced in our 53 years of operation. Like many other full-service restaurants, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change the way we are able to operate, and because of the crisis and consequent government actions, our restaurants, including our restaurant in Pocatello [it’s actually in Chubbuck] have been significantly impacted. After more than 27 years of being part of the Pocatello [Chubbuck, damn it!] community, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close our restaurant at 4105 Yellowstone Highway. This decision was not made lightly, but it is necessary after being unable to reach an agreement with our landlord. We understand the impact this situation has on our guests as well as our employees’ ability to work. These decisions have not been taken lightly, but they are necessary for our business in these unprecedented times.”
Texas; Without warning Red Lobster suddenly shutdown its restaurant in Sugar Land, blaming pandemic panic-attack restrictions. It should be noted that at the beginning of 2020 the Florida based Red Lobster chain was in trouble financially, yet denied rumors that it would soon begin mass shutdowns of restaurants. However by Spring 2020 dozens of Red Lobsters were shutdown across the U.S., blamed on pandemic panic-attack restrictions. Red Lobster administrators claimed they were temporary shutdowns, but many are still closed and now in 2021 there are have permanent shutdowns taking place.
