“Fully trained and full of conviction, the Costa Rican Coast Guard will return to their country prepared and ready to play a transformational role protecting its waters and safeguarding Costa Rica territory from a scourge of drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal fishing and other illicit activities.”-Sharon Day, U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica
Costa Rican Coast Guard accepts the gift of two patrol boats in Baltimore, Maryland, 13FEB2018
The U.S. Coast Guard gave (free of charge) the Costa Rican navy two 33.5 meters (110 feet) long patrol boats. Apparently ‘small gifts’ were also exchanged at the ceremony as the U.S. Coast Guard logged accounting records of such gifts.
The U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica, Sharon Day, claims the gift of $18-million USD worth of Island Class patrol boats to the central American country is going to have a ‘global impact’ in the new war on drugs.
According to The Baltimore Sun, Costa Rica’s public security minister claims there is an expected “cocaine tsunami” coming our way!
This donation of Island Class patrol boats is not the first. In the recent past Pakistan and Georgia also got two each of the U.S. taxpayer funded Coast Guard cutters.
Rear Admiral Michael J. Haycock explained that if they can’t sell decommissioned boats then they just give them away, because, he claims, scrapping them would actually cost more!
In January 2018, Florida National Guard’s 164th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 3rd Battalion, 116th Field Artillery Regiment deployed to Southwest Asia (Kuwait/Iraq?).
This month (February), Massachusetts National Guard’s 188th Engineering Detachment also deployed, to Kuwait, for Operation Spartan Shield.
Currently the Iowa National Guard’s 248th Aviation Support Battalion is in Kuwait: “It’s been the largest deployment of the Iowa National Guard [since 2011]…”-Major General Timothy Orr, February 2018
These increased National Guard deployments to Southwest Asia coincide with a ‘Army Day’ Task Force Spartan exercise ordered by U.S. Central Command (CentComm) at Udairi Range, Kuwait.
“Information is a weapon the brigade yields. We’re training Soldiers on their mission command weapons systems. We’re making information more lethal.”-Chief Warrant-3 Jerred Edgar, 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team

Idaho’s Army National Guard signal personnel spent the early part of February learning how to kill using information. Actually, the 116th Cavalry Brigade (Snake River) has signal corps personnel spread across four northwestern states, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Oregon.
Typically a “Signal Corps develops, tests, provides, and manages communications and information systems”, but this year the Idaho based Snake River militia decided to weaponize the information they gather in an exercise they called Signal Gunnery: “We wanted to create a process that trains crews in a manner similar to tank gunnery to create shared understanding with commanders.”-CW3 Jerred Edgar
Can you see me now? Idaho Army National Guard photo by Captain Robert Taylor, 10FEB2018.
The week long Signal Gunnery brought at least 60 personnel from four states together at Orchard Combat Training Center (OCTC), south of Boise. It’s hoped this weaponizing-info-exercise becomes a annual event.
Idaho Army National Guard’s Regional Training Site–Maintenance Ordnance Training Battalion is big and bad and getting bigger and badder!
During a November 2017 comprehensive accreditation inspection the Idaho training facility scored an overall 99.2%, getting 100% in five of the seven categories.
The facility is used by hundreds of Guard and U.S. Army personnel each year. Plans are to expand the training site by 2022, doubling student enrollment to about 850.
According to military reports the expansion of Idaho’s Maintenance Ordnance Training Battalion, including the creation of additional training battalions, could make it an equal to the U.S. Army’s Fort Benning, Georgia!
“The Navy Care app was so easy to use. It saved me two hours in travel time for a follow-up visit with my doctor at Naval Hospital Jacksonville.”-Lieutenant Kurt Bogart
The U.S. navy is experimenting with a new way to go to Sick Call, without actually going to Sick Call.
It’s a computer application (App) called Navy Care. It’s claimed to be secure and allows for real time doctor-patient communication. Currently it’s being tested for follow-up visits, so initial Sick Call visits will still have to be done in person.
“Samuel, notify your men: the British are coming.”-General Oliver Prescott, 19APR1775
Washington (state) National Guard train-up on their new M777, 12APR2017
The U.S. Army’s Watervliet Arsenal is making parts for the M777A2 artillery system, as part of a $50-million USD sale to India. But it’s not the United States that is profiting. The company raking in the profits from the M777 sale to India is BAE Systems, based in the capitol of The Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom.
U.S. Marine Corps video report by Sergeant Mathew Callahan, ‘When the M777 becomes a direct fire gun’:
The Indian M777 deal is worth $50-million, but at one point the Indian Army wanted about $800-million worth of the high-tech cannons, the Indian taxpayers said no to that. Contrary to the decades of lies about India gaining independence from the British empire, India is actually an autonomous (self-governing) member of The Commonwealth of Nations (the official term for the British empire since the 1926 Balfour Declaration).
But India is not the only Commonwealth member to get BAE’s profitable M777 cannon; Australia starting in 2010, and Canada starting in 2005 (initially through the U.S. Marine Corps).
Canadian Forces show you how to fire the M777, video by Master Corporal Kurt Visser, Wainwright, Alberta, May 2017:
BAE (formerly British Aerospace BAe, and GEC-Marconi/Marconi Electronic Systems MES) designs and builds anything from submarines to killer A-I robots. Nothing but death and destruction, for the profit of Queen and Country.
Revolutionaries attack BAE’s Australia office with paint and sledgehammers, December 2015
In the late 1990s, under the Bill Clinton regime, MES began taking over U.S. defense contractors. In 1999, MES and BAe merged to create BAE Systems, apparently to stop a U.S. defense contractor from taking over MES. In 2001, the same year the False Flag War on Terror began, BAE Systems aggressively invaded the U.S. defense industry, taking over many U.S. companies, including cyber security companies. Prior to World War Two, the U.S. government was officially anti-monarchist, anti-imperialist. Unfortunately for American War for Independence General Oliver Prescott, the British are here!
“Every year, since we’ve been doing the National Take Back, the DEA and the National Guard have worked side-by-side with collection and transportation of the prescriptions. The National Guard is a huge help in collecting a lot of pills in a short amount of time and then getting them to the destruction point.”– Timothy McMahon, DEA
Ever notice that local police, and now National Guard, conduct “drug take back” days? The problem with this phrase, Prescription Drug Take Back Day, and the fact that it is conducted by government law enforcers, implies your doctor issued prescription drugs came from the government.
Prescription Drug Take Back Day is an operation of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). As an example of how much prescription drugs are out there, in October 2017, under the guidance of the DEA the New Jersey National Guard Counterdrug Task Force incinerated seven tons of prescription drugs during a Drug Take Back op!

You don’t have to take my word that government and corporations (employees of at least) are involved in drugs dealing, read the following Real News sources from the past month.
In December 2017 Hanscom Air Force Base, in Massachusetts, became the first U.S. Air Force installation to arm its police with naloxone, in an attempt to prevent opioid overdoses.
Also towards the end of 2017, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Chemical and Biological Technologies Department began research on a new, potentially weaponized, opioid drug threat called carfentanil. One poppy seed sized amount of carfentanil (aka Elephant Tranquilizer) can potentially kill you. The U.S. Department of Defense is so sure that carfentanil is being weaponized (they didn’t say by whom) that efforts are being made to find antidotes for military personnel, and eventually silly-vilians.

Another sign of the growing prescription drug problem is that the military health insurance TriCare just jacked up the out-of-pocket cost of drugs for military families. USAF Lieutenant t. Colonel Ann McManis, of the Defense Health Agency Pharmacy Operations Division, revealed it’s part of a plan to force military families to do their drugs shopping solely on military based: “Military pharmacies and TriCare Pharmacy Home Delivery will remain the lowest cost pharmacy option for TriCare beneficiaries.”
02FEB2018, signing a pledge not to drink booze while watching the Super Bowl
Even drinking booze has apparently become a major problem for the military (despite decades of taxpayer funded anti-booze policies) as before Super Bowl weekend the Naval Medical Center San Diego intimidated personnel to sign a pledge promising they wouldn’t drink booze on Super Bowl Sunday!
Last month Cristina Howe, with the Marine Corps’ Substance Abuse Counseling Center, intimated an increase in cases saying “We have a lot of command referrals that come in, but we also have a lot of self-referrals….”
It was also revealed, at the end of January, that the Defense Logistics Agency has connections with about 1-thousand manufacturers/distributors of more than 25-thousand types of drugs: “If we can’t get drugs to our overseas bases, then it affects our ability to project air power, deploy forces….The fact that they have the ability to push our vendors to make things happen is critical to the warfighting mission….”-Major Rohin Kasudia, USAF Misawa Air Base, Nippon
Militarizing the Police; official National Guard Counterdrug Schools for cops video which claims that drugs cause violence (not people, kinda like the anti-gun argument that guns, and not people, kill people) and that drug dealers are better armed than local cops (after decades of hearing that claim I have yet to see evidence of that, I remember in Junior High in late 1970s southern California we got a visit from a San Bernardino County Sheriff deputy who opened the trunk of his cop-car to reveal a footlocker type box filled with shotguns, M16s, ammo, and various types of grenades, for a short time in the 1980s my father was a San Bernardino County Reserve Sheriff deputy and confirmed that the cops, at least in San Bernardino County, out-gun any criminals or silly-vilians), where even cops from Boise, Idaho, learn how to bash in your door:
Counterdrugs schools operators (usually a local college, with counterdrugs program names varying from region to region) claims to offer free counterdrugs training to local law enforcers across the country. Specifically it is ‘free’ to local law enforcement agencies because it is 100% funded by your taxes paid to the federal government. Such counterdrugs schools are overwatched by the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Guard Bureau.
“People are addicted to this idea that you have to use tough love, let people hit rock bottom, kick it cold turkey. That works for some people. It kills others.”-Kassandra Frederique, New York State Director at the Drug Policy Alliance
25JAN2018, U.S. Coast Guard & Royal Canadian Navy proudly displays more than 47,000 pounds of cocaine in California!
U.S. Department of Transportation revealed a 77% increase in drug use by people working in the transportation industry, since 2006! USDoT administrators admitted the numbers could be higher because their drug testing requirements have “significant gaps . . . that should be addressed.”
02FEB2018, U.S. Coast Guard offloads two tons of cocaine captured off Florida!
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that ‘offshored’ U.S. airlines maintenance facilities are exempt from drug testing for their U.S. employees.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) reported that random drug testing revealed that the number of railroad employees addicted to drugs jumped by 43% from 2015 to 2016! Since 2014 there’s been a sudden increase of railroad accidents involving railroad workers whacked on drugs.
National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that at least 10.9-million people in the United States were addicted to opioids in 2016!
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the number of opioid deaths in 2016 at a record 42-thousand!
In California, a National Guard sergeant blames the capitalist system for the growing number of homeless people whacked on smack: “…these people are being pushed out not because of laziness, not because they couldn’t try hard enough, but because the system is stacked against them.”-Jason Carney, Vets for the 99%
Last month the New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force hosted a forum to come up with ideas about how to end the opioid crisis in The Empire State. Even representatives of the New York Police Department blamed the current situation on the decades old War on Drugs: “I’m the living history of the failure of the drug war. The fact that I’m here dealing with the same problems that I’ve been dealing with for the past 35 years is no accident. If we attack this in a more policy-oriented way, to prevent the involvement of the criminal justice system, not only would more treatments be available…”-Jeff Kauffman, former police officer and attorney with the New York Police Department
