Former National Guardsmen from Montana, now Army Reservists (but still wearing the patch of Idaho based Snake River Brigade), are in the Central American country of Belize building hospitals and schools under a U.S. Southern Command sub-operation called Double Head Cabbage.
Former Snake River Brigade member Sergeant Ramon Firestone, from Montana, measures a 2×4 for use in making roof supports in Belize
Belize was once a colony of the British empire, called British Honduras, gaining so-called independence in 1981. In 2006 oil was discovered in the area known as Spanish Lookout.
Double Head Cabbage is part of a larger operation between United States and Belize, called Beyond the Horizon 2017. Beyond the Horizon will provide free medical help to the people of Belize, at U.S. taxpayer expense!
Specialist Troy Hanson, from Montana. Defense Department reports say he’s with Army Reserve, but note the National Guard Snake River Brigade patch on his sleeve.
Interestingly the personnel from Montana claim to belong to a federal Army Reserve unit, yet they wear Idaho National Guard’s Snake River Brigade (116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team) patch (see pics above).
The Army Reserve unit the personnel claim to be from is known as the 672nd Engineer Company. I discovered that the 672nd was deactivated back in June 1959, but reactivated in September 2008.
The Montana reservists are wearing the National Guard patch on their right sleeves to indicate they were deployed to a combat zone with the Snake River Brigade. Recently rules were changed concerning the wearing of the ‘combat patch’. For a long time the size of the unit you deployed with, how long you were deployed in a combat zone, and whether or not Congress actually declared war, determined the wearing of the combat patch. Another problem has been that some brigade level commanders actually banned the wearing of combat patches. The wearing of the combat patch is voluntary.

“…with the immediate closure of nearly 400 underperforming locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and work to aggressively manage the remaining real estate lease portfolio either by modifying terms, or evaluating closures of additional locations.”-Payless statement, 04 APR 2017
Despite Donald Trump running The White House, the Obama regime initiated apparel industry death spiral is ramping up. Discount cheap-o shoe seller Payless suddenly ‘died’ today after filing for bankruptcy.
4-hundred U.S. stores forced to shutdown immediately! The thousands of remaining stores around the world will undergo ‘managed’ shutdowns! (click this link to the official shutdown list)
Payless is officially not dead, but should be considered a zombie retailer as executives struggle to keep the company going: “This is a difficult, but necessary, decision driven by the continued challenges of the retail environment, which will only intensify. We will build a stronger Payless for our customers, vendors and suppliers, associates, business partners and other stakeholders through this process. While we have had to make many tough choices, we appreciate the substantial support we have received from our lenders, who share our belief that we have a unique opportunity to enable Payless — the iconic American footwear retailer with one of the best-recognized global brands — to remain the go-to shoe store for customers in America and around the globe.”-Paul Jones, CEO
Payless in struggling Pine Ridge Mall, employees swear they’ve been told no shutdown for them
However, the Payless ShoeSource employees at the struggling Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, swear they are not being shutdown. They claim that corporate administrators say the Chubbuck Payless is actually making money.
In related news, the Payless store in Pocatello, Idaho (which was quietly shutdown back in October 2016), was supposedly shutdown because of landlord/tenant problems, not lack of sales.
MORE ECONOMIC DECLINE: VANITY DIES IN IDAHO
U.S. RETAIL/BANKING/SERVICE SECTOR COLLAPSE, JANUARY 2017: Kansas based Payless shoe seller suddenly laid off 110 HQ employees! Elsewhere, another 55 Payless employees were suddenly dumped. Local news media say laid off employees were given no notice and were escorted out by security guards!

After a local Muslim doctor started the financial ball rolling in favor of the homeless shelter (waking up true local Christians who had money to donate), a group of christians went to the city council to point out that the Sublette Street property was not zoned for “transitional housing”. The Mormon dominated city promptly revoked the temporary operating permit. Pastor Big Momma commented to local news media that she’s taking this as a sign that god has a better location in mind.
Illinois: Chicago based, christian agnostic Warren Buffet owned, Kraft-Heinz eliminating 2-hundred salaried jobs!

Local news media speculated that it was due to lack of funding, Saint Joseph admin refused to explain the decision.

Minnesota: Even god can’t stop The Diocese of New Ulm from going chapter 11 bankrupt, due to sex abuse lawsuits.

Montana: Even god can’t stop The Diocese of Great Falls-Billings from going chapter 11 bankrupt, due to sex abuse lawsuits.

Oregon: Samaritan Health Services imposed a hiring freeze and halted construction projects in order “to prepare and position ourselves to be able to continue our primary mission of healthcare delivery with the least harm to our workforce and community”. Samaritan Health Services (one of the largest healthcare providers in Oregon) administrators say ObamaCare-Medicaid funding cuts caused them to lose as many as 8-thousand patients in the first two months of 2017! They also said that when you throw-in other healthcare providers “The number statewide is in the tens of thousands”.
Pennsylvania: Christian Mennonite founded Hershey chocolates announced it must eliminate thousands of hourly jobs by the end of 2019, in order “to improve overall operating profit margin through supply chain optimization”.
Tennessee: Catholic Charities laid off 13 people at its refugee center in Nashville, blaming Donald Trump.

“And Yeshua entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification
Former employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance (or even be counted as unemployed): “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”
