U.S. Army preps for “austere environments” using “phantom” dogs!

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.

Don’t worry, the so called dogs used in the testing are not real, they are themselves mechanical training devices These fake-news dogs were developed, along with fake-news children, to specifically test a new experimental, and revolutionary, X-ray device.  The fake dogs and children are officially called manikins, or more ominously “simulator phantoms”.

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 testing was done on Fort Campbell, Kentucky.  Apparently, the next phase for the x-ray tablet involves testing on those manikin Phantom Children.

Creating Dog Warriors with hi-tech $13-million hospital!

The U.S. Army Veterinary Corps is 101 years old, and despite the proliferation of motorized transports the Corps continues to play an important role.

The U.S. military left behind dozens of Military Working Dogs in Vietnam, calling them “expendable surplus equipment”. Thanks to outrage by veterans that doesn’t happen now.

Besides the obvious care for animals, including pets of military personnel, the Corps also conducts food safety inspections for the military.

In 2008 a new $13-million USD hi-tech dog hospital opened at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas.  It’s been referred to as Department of Defense Military Working Dog Veterinary Service Hospital or Holland Military Working Dog Hospital.

It’s administered by the Army Public Health Center and as many as 1-thousand-150 dogs are being cared for at Lackland Air Force Base and the Lackland/Medina Training Annex.

One of the programs at the Hospital is the Military Dog Breeding Program, with the intent to “produce” the best military dogs they can:

Martial Law U.S.A.: Why are police and civilians turning on ‘Man’s Best Friend’? Police shoot dog they already killed? Military member’s dogs being targeted?

20 June 2014 (12:49 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Sha’ban 1435/30 Khordad 1393/23 Geng Wu 4712

Incomplete list of dog killings (mainly by cops) from 30 May – 20 June 2014.

“You could hear the dog screaming and crying in pain. I did see one officer that had been extremely aggressive that did have his knee into her chest that was tightening the noose. It seemed they were doing it relentlessly and unnecessarily.”-Sandy Fleischer, neighbor who reported a loose Shar-Pei to police, only to witness the a-hole cops summarily torture and execute the dog (see more below)

Studies involving the University of Illinois, non-profits including the National Canine Research Council, and the U.S. Department of Justice say local cops killing dogs is not only rampant, but in the majority of cases not justified!  “There will be times when police need to defend themselves because they are being attacked by a dog and don’t have a choice, but that is the minority of cases.”-Brian Kilcommons, dog trainer

Indiana: It is now ‘legal’ for South Bend Common Council cops to openly kill certain breeds of dogs.  And just one week after those restrictions were lifted cops have done just that.  A pit bull was shot and killed, cops claim it bit their pistol!  Police claim the dog was terrorizing the neighborhood after it escaped from its owner’s yard.  They claim a family had locked themselves in their minivan out of fear of the dog.  Cops also revealed they were whacking the dog with a rake in an attempt to make it back off and heard it into the yard they thought it belonged in!  Dip shits, that’s a sure way to really piss off a dog!  It also turns out that the residence where police thought the dog belonged to might be incorrect, which would explain why the cop’s attempts to put the dog into that yard were being met with growing anger from the dog!  In other words, this is a clear case where the cops created and escalated the situation!

Louisiana: A cop killed a dog by shooting it between the eyes, and now that cop has been indicted by a grand jury. Witnesses say the dog did nothing to justify its execution.  The dog belonged to some hobos traveling the country.  The cop handcuffed the hobos and started rummaging through their possessions.  Court records say he shot the dog because it nipped at his foot.

Maryland: A Baltimore policeman is facing felony animal cruelty charges after stabbing a restrained Shar-Pei in the throat, killing it.   He and other officers had just restrained the dog with a dog control pole.   There is now suspicion that Baltimore police are actively ‘culling’ stray dogs and cats, based on the statements of the policemen involved who said they thought the dog they had just caught was a stray (in other words that was their excuse for killing the dog).  However, the owner showed up looking for it.

The owner is also claiming the police bold faced lied to her about the circumstances surrounding her dog’s death, not ever mentioning that a cop slit its throat after it had been restrained.  Court documents show the a-hole cop said “I’m going to (expletive) gut this thing!”  The a-hole cop’s own co-cops admitted the dog was no threat!   It also turns out that a-hole cops lied to their own boss about the incident, and now a second cop has been suspended for holding the Shar-Pei down while the other cop slit its throat!  The dog’s owner says the cops are the true criminals: “This is so criminal what’s happened! It makes me sick.”-Sarah Gossard

But wait, there’s more from the sick NAZI cop city of Baltimore!  Three months prior to this incident another a-hole cop choked his girlfriend’s cute little puppy to death then took a pic of it and sent it to her cell phone!

New York: An Avoca man is charged with the felony killing of his own pit bull by choking it.  He is undergoing a psych evaluation.

Ohio: Early this week, police arrived too late to save a dog seen hanging by its neck in a cage in a residential backyard. The barking of another dog in the same cage alerted neighbors. Investigators say there was no food or water for the dogs.  Animal control officers are seeking a warrant to enter the home because they could hear the sounds of puppies.  But wait, there’s more! According to the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center, the people who live at the residence have a long track record of their dogs dying!

So why haven’t the cops done anything to stop these sick people? Especially since (also this week) the same Montgomery County Animal Resource Center was called to deal with an emaciated dog, living in a room that “….was covered in three inches of feces.” In this case the dog’s owner was charged with animal cruelty. The house is so bad it might be condemned.

In Cincinnati, dip shit cops killed a pit bull after they aggravated the crap out it by corralling it and tazing it, twice!  In a no shit Sherlock moment, after the second tazing the dog lunged at the cops.  To add insult to injury the dog’s owner is being fined for not locking up the dog.

In Bond Hill, Cincinnati cops killed what they think is a stray pit bull.  NAZIcops admit the dog did not attack anybody, but they killed it for ‘menacing’ a man who was mowing his lawn!  You know, I think most cops are ‘menacing’, don’t you?

But wait, there’s more in NAZI cop land Ohio!  In Toledo, K-9 cops are undergoing new training because their police dogs are attacking civilians!  The most recent case involves a nine years old boy bitten by a police dog.   So you see, if it’s a police dog then its OK for it to attack civilians.  But if it’s your dog,  the cop can decide that your dog is ‘vicious’ or ‘menacing’, without any evidence, and can kill it.

Oklahoma: In Tulsa cops killed two dogs.  They claim the dogs were “terrorizing” the neighborhood, saying “a man had been bitten”.  However, some residents call BS on that: “I’ve never seen the dog attack anybody. He was in my yard.”-Peggy Farrell

In fact, local Fox23 TV news checked with Tulsa Animal Control and found that only two complaints of barking dogs had ever been filed for that neighborhood!  No complaints of dog bites or dog terrorists!

But wait, there’s more! Tulsa cops also killed a dog at an apartment complex, in front of children.  Police claim they got a vicious dog call, but the apartment residents call BS on that: “My kids were playing with it earlier in the day. My kids were outside when it was outside and it never once tried to attack any of my kids.”-Tawny Glenn, witnessed shooting with her kids

“They [children] hear three to four shots and they bust out crying, wondering why it’s happening.”-Daniel Bass, witness

Here’s how the NAZI cops justified it: “The dog might have been a friendly dog at one point but again, we were called to that location for a vicious dog.”-Leland Ashley, Tulsa Police

But wait, there’s more from the dog killing state of Oklahoma!  At the end of May, a Logan County Sheriff’s deputy burst into the yard of a home, claiming he was there because of reports of “screaming”.   The woman warned the cop that there were dogs on the property and to hold on.  The a-hole cop came onto the property anyway, no warrant!  A dog approached the cop sniffing him, the NAZI cop pissed himself and pulled his pistol, pointing it at the dog, the woman and two children present, then he shot and killed the dog: “I said, ‘Don’t come in,’ and he just went ahead and went in. It just happened so fast that I couldn’t do nothing, I couldn’t prevent it. The only thing I could do was put my nephews behind my back.”-Cindy Wickham

Here’s what a witness said: “I could see him waving the gun back and forth at her and the dog.”-Kaci Malicoat, neighbor

Wickham said the deputy exclaimed “The motherfucking dog bit me!”, but she says that’s a lie.

Oregon: In the All-America City Award winning Independence, there is a mysterious dog killer. Somebody is using rat poison to kill neighborhood dogs. The most recent dog death involved a dog belonging to a Naval Reservist now in San Diego awaiting deployment to Africa. Family members taking care of the dog noticed that somebody threw pieces of bread into their yard. The dog ate some of the pieces before the family took the rest away, they did so because it was obvious the pieces had “something clear and sticky on them”. The dog died slow and painfully.

Pennsylvania: Pittsburg cops shot and killed a homeless man’s dog.  Apparently the homeless man was drunk, and the dog attacked the cops in an attempt to protect him.  One cop claims he was bit, and that’s why he shot the dog.

Rhode Island: Suspicion over the cop killing of a pit bull. Police showed up at a motor home to serve an arrest warrant for failure to pay housing fines against a homeless man. However, the homeless man was not in the motor home, but his pit bull was. Police say that somehow the pit bull got out of the locked motor home, and they shot it. Witnesses say they shot it once bringing the dog down, but then 15 minutes later they shot it again. The homeless man was out working to collect money to pay the fines. His daughter says he’s the victim, not the cops: “I feel like the dog is a victim, and I feel like my dad’s a victim!”-Ashley Vien

Tennessee: Milan cops shot a pit bull who had no record of being a “vicious dog”.  Police say they shot the dog because it was “showing its teeth” and “growling”.  They claim the dog had rushed somebody walking by the house.  Witnesses say the dog was protecting its territory.  To add insult to injury the owner has been fined for owning a ‘vicious dog’ even though there’s no record of prior incidents.

In Dyersburg, a man who claims to be a veteran has been charged with sneaking into a neighbor’s yard and killing their chained up  German Shepherd by slitting it’s throat.  Police say the dog died a slow death.  The suspect is also a pit bull owner.  Police became suspicious of the ‘veteran’ because he had blood on him, and he was making claims that the chained up German Shepherd was somehow terrorizing the neighborhood and deserved to die.  It took several cops to arrest the veteran, and during the arrest he claimed he was being targeted just because he was a veteran.  I wonder if he’s on those evil prescription drugs they like to give veterans?

Texas: In Springtown, a woman shot a mother dog in the head, then dumped the body and ten puppies on the side of the road. A school bus driver found them, and said the puppies were still nursing from the blood soaked body of their mother! The sick woman is out on bond, and faces only misdemeanor charges! Police say the mother dog was also emaciated.

Utah: In Salt Lake City, police barged into a man’s backyard (while he was away), startling his dog.  So of course a startled dog is going to bark, but that scared the shit out of the cop who then shot the dog point blank in the head!  But wait there’s more to this NAZI cop BS!  The cops had no warrant to go into the yard.  They claim they needed none because they were searching for a lost three years old boy.   On top of that the a-hole cop just left the dead dog in the yard.  The owner returned home to find his dog with a bullet hole in his head: “My dog has never lunged or attacked anybody.  And besides the fact of what my dog did or did not do, why was the officer in my backyard? Why didn’t he identify himself, announce his presence? Why didn’t he knock on the gate?”-Sean Kendal, victim of NAZI cop

But wait there’s even more NAZI cop Bullshit!  The missing boy was found, in his parents own home!   An attorney says the cop’s claim to have the right to break and enter your property during a missing persons search is Bullshit, because they would have to actually witness the missing person enter the property: “Going into the backyard, a fenced backyard, it’s like walking in someone’s home without a warrant: It’s illegal, it’s a violation of the Fourth Amendment rights!…..if that were OK, that there’s a kid’s missing, why couldn’t they go in everybody’s home on the block? Why couldn’t they actually open the door and go in? I think very few people would say that’s OK.”-Robert Sykes

Wisconsin: Lawsuits say Milwaukee cops killed 434 dogs between 2000 and 2008 (48 dogs per year).  City officials imposed extra training for cops to reduce their urges to kill man’s best friend.   Police admitted that in 2009 they killed 41 dogs, and seized another 569.   One woman is suing the city because cops killed her two Mastiffs, and she has yet to be given an explanation as to why!

Side note: In Alberta, Canada, somebody is going around throwing engine coolant soaked sausages into the yards of dog owners.  Two dogs have died slow painful deaths.  Engine coolant/anti-freeze poisoning causes renal failure (kidney shutdown), which is a slow painful death (about 24 hours depending on how much is ingested. If you survive you could have permanent kidney damage and even blindness.).

Fluoride Wars: Studies show your pets are being poisoned by fluoridated water & Grapes!

07 January 2014 (14:19 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/17 Dey 1392/07 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“A recently published Harvard study concluded that there was a seven-fold risk in osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, among young boys after exposure to fluoridated water………..Dogs have a significantly higher rate of osteosarcoma than humans. Researchers at Colorado State University recently conducted a large study on osteosarcoma and dogs. In their abstract they state that the osteosarcoma rate in dogs is 8 in 100,000, approximately 8 times greater than that in humans.”Linda Joy, WA Action for Safe Water

“Fluoride is a Class 2 environmental toxin, second only to arsenic in its danger as a biochemically reactive poison. Fluoride’s primary use is as a rat and cockroach poison and it is a known carcinogen. Historically, fluoride was also used in Nazi Germany ghettos and prison camps to sterilize the human inmates…..98% of Europe is now free of fluoridated water…..Racetracks in Southern CA such as Santa Anita, Del Mar and Hollywood Park have reported significant rises in bone breakage in horses….Since the San Diego Wild Animal Park began using fluoridated water, the elephant show has been permanently cancelled with one animal reportedly having mental derangement. Their zebras were also isolated in a separate pen for sudden and unusually aggressive behavior. The Australian state of Victoria announced the recent euthanization of hundreds of Kangaroos due to acute fluoride poisoning……Municipalities throughout North America are practicing medicine without a license by injecting this toxic substance into the public water supply without the consent of the people drinking the water.“-Joanne Suresh, DogsNaturally magazine

“.….rare occurrences of ‘grape poisoning’ have resulted from pets consuming an unusually large number of grapes or raisins……Grapes are one of the plants that concentrate fluoride, which can originate from the soil or the air. And today’s environment is much richer in fluoride than that of the past due to fluoride-based chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides), factory emissions (e.g. coal burning and metal production), and the use of fluoridated water for irrigation and rinsing of newly purchased produce…….The deaths in these rare cases of grape or raisin intoxication can be easily explained as fluoride intoxication……fluoride is also a cumulative toxin and over time can cause serious problems such as thyroid dysfunction and bone cancer when long-term exposure is excessive…..there is nothing innately wrong with the grapes or raisins themselves………[but] they concentrate fluoride…”John B. Symes, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

“….a study of 10 brands of manufactured dog foods analyzed for fluoride content. Eight had levels that could put dogs at risk from developing bone cancer, thyroid disease and other health problems……contain ground bone that is the source of fluoride that farmed animals accumulate……Cats may also be at risk from chronic fluoride poisoning when similar cheap ingredients are included in their manufactured dry and canned foods……Cooking with fluoridated water simply concentrates fluoride in the food….”Michael W. Fox, DSc, PhD, BVet Med

7th Heaven Animal Trust, in the Bilderberg British empire territory of occupied northern Ireland, has a list of studies, going back to the early 1990s, concerning the effects of fluoride on animals.

Do your own research, there is a plethora of studies concerning the effects of fluoride on farm animals and pets, and they’re not good.  And if your live in the United States or Canada, you’re drinking and eating it!

Fluoride is poison!

Dogs being taken down by mystery World War 2 disease!

12 May 2013 (23:11 UTC-07 Tango 11 May 2013)/02 Rajab 1434/22 Ordibehest 1391/03 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

In the United Kingdom dogs are dying from a mystery illness.  At least 12 dogs have died after being walked in the New Forest National Park.

In Worcestershire, two more dogs have just died.  They got sick after the Worcestershire Gun Dog Society sporting event.

All the dogs died from kidney failure (renal failure).

Samples were set to labs in Texas U.S.A., where tests suggested a type of E.Coli bacteria known as Alabama Rot.  (results were not conclusive)

According to British reports, almost all the dogs were walked in an area of the New Forest, an area known as Latchmore Brook.  That area was used as a testing range for experimental weapons during the Second World War.  The area is also near a factory used to make weapons during the war.

However, there are reports of similar dog cases in other parts of U.K.

So far only one dog who became sick, survived.

Influenza update, 26 March 2013: More than 100 children in the U.S. die! Infected chickens sold to public! Naproxen turning out to be anti-flu? More proof vaccines don’t work! Swine flu killing hundreds in the past two months! Warning about Super Flu!

The U.S. CDC says 105 children have died so far this flu season.  They also claim that 90% did not get vaccinated.

In Minnesota U.S.A., deaths have hit 180!  Four in the past week.  compare that to last last flu season when 33 Minnesotans died.

In Pennsylvania U.S.A., doctors are concerned about increasing cases of flu B: “I think the reason it surprises me in March is that it was an early season too. So this season has been going on a long time. This has been a bad flu season.”-Scott Tyson, Pediatrics South Mount Lebanon

In Licking County, Ohio U.S.A., health officials report 2378 flu cases as of 09 March. They expect more.

In South Dakota U.S.A., the state Department of Health says 36 people have died so far.  11% of deaths are Native Americans.

In the world of professional baseball and basketball several players are out sick with flu.

In New Hampshire U.S.A., pet owners are being warned about the new H3N8 dog flu. The new to dogs disease has hit Vermont and Massachusetts.

North Dakota U.S.A. reporting cases of dog flu.

In New Zealand, doctors are urging people to get flu shots.  There have already been some flu cases in Kiwiland, but the official flu season hasn’t started yet.  Kiwi docs say it takes two weeks after getting a flu vaccine before it’s effective.

In Canada, health officials in the Province of Alberta are whining about the lack of people getting flu shots.  The provinces have mandated vaccination goals, and Alberta has reached only half its goal.  Health officials are also complaining about the lack of infants being vaccinated, but one family that got their baby vaccinated says it did no good:  “Even with the vaccination, he has been sick every month. So whether the vaccination worked or not, I’m not sure, but we did it as a precaution.”-Binod Pouyal, father of 19 months old who’s been sick ever since getting the shot

A Canadian company says tobacco protein can be used to grow cultures for flu vaccines.  Currently vaccines are made using chicken eggs, and some people are allergic.  Then there’s the recently approved way using bug guts.  Medicago says their new tobacco based system can grow more cultures in less time.

Researchers in France say naproxen is showing promise as an anti-flu viral medication.  The study was published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.  Apparently naproxen interferes with flu A viruses’ ability to bind with your cells.

In the state of Gurjurat, India, as of 23 March 149 people have died from swine flu! Local media reporting that the swine flu epidemic is so bad that the state government refuses to release anymore health data to the public. Public officials are currently debating how to handle the release of health data.

In the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Indore district, six new H1N1 swine flu cases were reported, four are in critical condition.  So far 31 people are confirmed infected and 12 have died.  And in the state of Maharashtra, Pune district, health officials say 25 people got infected with H1N1, and six of them died, all in the past two and a half months!

In Netherlands, bird flu hit poultry farms in Flevoland province. 24000 chickens were destroyed.

Vietnam reporting bird flu outbreaks across the country.

Bird flu is infecting poultry farms in Bangladesh, and some of the thousands of infected chickens were sold to the public: “We came to know that a large number of poultry farms have been affected by bird flu virus in the northern districts include Rangpur, Lalmonirhat and Gaibandha…..we fear the authorities have allowed the farmers to market the sick chickens.”-Khandokar Mohsin, Bangladesh Poultry Industries Association

At the University of California Los Angeles, researchers have discovered that if you combine bird flu and human flu you’ll get killer “super” flus. This is based on research in Bangladesh, China and Egypt: “The mixing of genetic material between the seasonal human flu virus and bird flu can create novel virus strains that are more lethal than either of the original viruses.”-Thomas Smith, UCLA

 

 

 

 

Government Incompetence: Only 330 cats & dogs rescued from radiation zone in Japan, hundreds more still roaming lose!

The Japanese government announced that 330 cats and dogs have been rescued from the no entry zone around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, just in the month of December.

The Environment Ministry, and government of Fukushima Prefecture, have conducted rescue operations for dogs and cats.  However, citizens groups have been doing their own rescuing since 11 March 2011.

Several pet rescue blogs talk about the difficulty of dealing with government bureaucracy, in trying to get into the no entry zone.  Some citizen pet rescuers broke the law by going into the highly contaminated area without government permission.

Pet shelters in Japan need financial support to help care for those pets that’ve been rescued. Many pets lost their human companions to the tsunamis. Most pet rescues took place in the tsunami hit areas, but relatively little has been done in the radiation danger zone.

For those who can help, you can check out globalanimal.org. They have contact info of several of the private rescue groups in Japan, and interesting animal rescue stories.

FOOD CRISIS: HALF MILLION LIVESTOCK STARVING TO DEATH IN JAPAN!

People risk Radiation to save Man’s Best Friend, Operation Pet Rescue

“My heart trembled. They looked just like my dog. I started searching for them right away.”-Ogino, a 56-year-old volunteer

While some Japanese label evacuees ‘hibakusha’ and publicly bully them, other Japanese are risking contamination to save the animals left behind.

Many members of dog clubs around Japan, were so moved by pictures of abandoned dogs, that they demanded the media tell them how to get to them.

The first rescue team found a pack of dogs waiting at the train station: “They were waiting for their owner.”-Tamiko Nakamura, volunteer

The team was only able to get 20 dogs out, many ran away.  They left dry food for them, in the ghost town of Minami-Soma.  Volunteers say they will continue their efforts.
