“…..a disaster caused by an explosion where patients are exposed to chemical, nuclear and biological warfare.”-Lieutenant Colonel Joseph McDaniel, Texas National Guard
In the first couple weeks of December 2019, FEMA Regions 4 and 6 were hit with CBRNE (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive, pronounced ‘see-burn’) events.
National Guard units from several states were deployed to Texas and Florida.

Taxpayers should wonder why FEMA is increasingly including chemical, biological and nuclear warfare in its disaster response training.
Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main-stream-news links about global immigrant/border operations affecting the United States taxpayers, November 2019.
While families in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity, it was revealed that at the end of October the USAF delivered enough rice to feed 500-thousand people, in Honduras! It was delivered on a C-17 Globemaster-3 assigned to the 62nd Airlift Wing, out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.
While ObamaCare (ACA) has failed in the United States, the U.S. Navy spent U.S. taxes providing medical care to the people of Haiti, 10NOV2019.
More than a dozen federal, state and local agencies in the Sector Maryland-National Capital Region continue to inspect trucks and shipping containers at the Port of Baltimore. The inspections also include checking that the truck drives are legally allowed to work in the U.S.

01NOV2019, United Nations Humanitarian Civil-Military Coordination Course training for Asia and the Pacific was conducted at the Navy Lodge, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
In a possible round-a-bout way of training for the Cascadia Event, personnel with the state Army National Guard were deployed to Bangladesh to take part in a five days Disaster Response Exercise and Exchange (DREE). The international training for a catastrophic earthquake is considered to be the biggest yet: “There are 20 different countries at this DREE which is great and that means just over 100 individual actual foreign participants which makes up more than 650 participants on opening day. It’s a long way from where we started and you can see the direct impact the DREE program has had over the years.”-Master Sergeant Robert Bentcliff, U.S. Army Pacific Command (USARPAC)
On 06NOV2019, U.S. Army and local EMTs conducted training in preparation for the catastrophic Cascadia Event. The Puget Sound Federal Coordinating Center National Disaster Medical System exercise was held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The training included loading mass-casualties onboard a USAF C-17 of the 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron (shows you how bad the military thinks it’ll be).
For the second time a FEMA disaster event hit Guam. During the last half of November 2019, Hawaii National Guard’s 93rd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team deployed to assist Guam’s National Guard in responding to a Mass Destruction event.
In this video, emergency responders inspect a school hit by WMD, dramatic medivac of responder who got contaminated during inspection:
Guam is part of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Region 9, according to reports the U.S. island territory was hit by both a typhoon and a WMD terrorist attack! Emergency responders from California, New Mexico, Alaska, and Utah also provided assistance.
Fortunately this was part of what is now standard FEMA training for National Guard units across all the FEMA Regions, called Vigilant Guard.
Official video report, Vigilant Guard 2020:
Silly-vilians should be concerned, every year since the creation of Vigilant Guard the scenarios have gotten more elaborate because the U.S. Department of Defense, and FEMA, are expecting something really big to happen.

President Donald Trump is portrayed by the ‘main-stream’ news media as being anti-climate, yet since he became President of the United States NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) has seemingly increased its studies of the effects of pollution and wildfires (including prescribed burns and agricultural fires) on the atmosphere.
On 23JUL2019, NASA held an explainer day for Idaho news media, and as you can tell not many showed up. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Joshua C. Allmaras.

NASA says their DC-8 flys at 42-thousand feet (12-thousand-801 meters or 12.80 kilometers) for as long as 12 hours, collecting air samples with the many antennae protruding from the fuselage.

Six decades after California set the first global standards for industrial anti-air-pollution laws the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) has proven those (and subsequent) laws to be laughable.

NASA used it’s modified U-2R/TR-1A, called the ER-2 (Earth Resources-2), to inspect industrial air pollution, scanning the ground from near-space (65-thousand feet/19-thousand-812 meters): “Before the pilots even take off, we put them on 100% oxygen for an hour to get all of the nitrogen out of their systems. It’s similar to what scuba divers can face. If they have nitrogen in their system, they can end up getting what they call the bends, and it’ll be a really bad day for that pilot.”-Wason Miles, ER-2 life support crew, from 2018 interview concerning the HyspIRI preparatory airborne mission over Hawaii

The two years long NASA-California methane mission resulted in the AVIRIS-NG ( Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation) system, onboard the ER-2, discovering dozens of what NASA calls methane “super-emitters”(published 06NOV2019) across the Los Angeles area. This why I say California’s progressively ‘tougher’ anti-pollution laws failed. I lived in California when those anti-pollution laws began driving out many industries causing the loss of thousands of jobs just in the Los Angeles area, in the 1970s-80s. The exalted lawmakers of The Golden State then started playing games with their own anti-pollution laws, trying to woo back major employers. NASA’s California methane mission revealed that the industrial sector of the Los Angeles area is still pumping out clouds of pollution, even with stricter air quality laws and fewer industrial operations.

The U.S. Air Force reports that a Special Tactics Airman (24th Special Ops Wing) went missing while taking part in static line jump training over the Gulf of Mexico.

Since 05NOV2019, crews onboard a HC-130N Combat King and HH-60G Black Hawks are searching for the Airman. USAF-Reserve, U.S. Army, Coast Guard, Florida Fish & Wildlife and even local Sheriff’s units are helping with the search.
Official USAF announcements stated the Airman made an “unintentional water landing”. At this time the USAF is not reporting any details about the incident.

In preparation for more flooding disasters, the Indiana National Guard expanded In-HART (Indiana Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team) operations. In-HART is a joint operation that includes civilian rescue technicians and Indiana National Guard personnel.
On 24OCT2019, the South Bend Swift Water Rescue Team joined National Guard forces at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, as a way to increase the number of people trained for swift water rescues.
