America Spread Thin: North America, April 2018

Video April 24, 2018 Hutchins AAron

These are just a few of the military operations happening across the North American region for the Gregorian month of April, 2018.

Canada: USS Pearl Harbor arrived in Victoria, British Columbia 12APR2018. Commander Ben Miller stated “This visit helps to demonstrate the continuing commitment the U.S. has to our long-standing and important relationship with Canada…… the port visit gives the crew of Pearl Harbor a chance for some rest and relaxation…” That taxpayer funded R&R includes visits to the Craigdarroch Castle, British Columbia Parliament buildings, Butchart Gardens, Fisherman’s Warf Park and the Fisgard Lighthouse.

El Salvador: Video previewing operation Beyond the Horizon scheduled for May, in which lots of U.S. tax dollars will be spent on El Salvador. The video shows U.S. taxpayer funded activities from previous Beyond the Horizon operations:

Taxpayer funded USAF delivered a fire truck and ambulance to Tecpan, Guatemala, 20APR2018, as part of the evil USAID (United States Agency for International Development) Denton Program. Supposedly the vehicles were paid for by religious organization Mission of Love Foundation. As of March 2018, ‘christian’ Mission of Love Foundation, via USAID’s taxpayer funded Denton Program, has conducted 60 ‘missions’ to Guatemala: “We work on five continents with an all-volunteer force….. With a group of volunteers, the Denton Program and the Air Force together are making this possible for those in need. I couldn’t do it alone. I am just a facilitator.”-Kathleen Price, Mission of Love Foundation

Haiti: On 07APR2018, the U.S. Coast Guard captured and repatriated about 50 migrants from Haiti.

Mexico: Leaders of the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional met with U.S. Army North (Fifth Army) as well as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas National Guards, along with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, in Tucson, Arizona: “We not only have the huge responsibility as customs and border protection, we need this to be a team effort with U.S. Army North, Deptartment of Defense, Mexico and other agencies. By coming together we are able to exponentially provide security and safety for citizens in Mexico and the U.S.”-Juventino F. Pacheco, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent, Foreign Operations Branch, Tucson Sector Border Patrol (THE WALL IS GOING UP, U.S. TAXPAYERS ARE FUNDING IT!)

United States:

So much for ObamaCare, operation Arctic Care involves U.S. regular forces, Alaska National Guard and British empire Canadian military forces providing taxpayer funded medical help to ‘underserved regions’ of Alaska.

This is not a CBRN drill, on 11APR2018 several nuke waste drums exploded at the U.S. Navy’s Idaho National Laboratory. Initially it was reported as one drum, but a week later it was revealed that at least three more drums exploded. The nuke waste is said to have come to Idaho from Rocky Flats Plant in Colorado, in the 1960s. Contractor Fluor Idaho stated that the decades old waste had just been re-packed into 55-gallon drums the morning of the explosions. The latest nuke waste explosions are significant because the explosions at New Mexico’s WIPP (in 2014) might have involved nuke waste packaged at the Idaho National Laboratory.

Despite decades of studies that say the human brain must get sufficient sleep (including U.S. Army experiments in which soldiers were given meth) or it will become paranoid, suicidal and homicidal, the U.S. Air Force is conducting experiments to force humans to stay awake for extended periods of time.

The 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is trying to find out if computer/electronic stimulation works better than drugs. An official video report was issued on 17APR2018:

In 2017 the U.S. Navy confirmed you must sleep, in response to increasing cases of personnel getting less and less sleep: “Sleep has been identified and prioritized as a leading Health and Wellness Department and disease prevention goal. Sleep is an important element of health and well-being just like nutrition and physical fitness. Adequate sleep is necessary to fight off infection, support the metabolism of sugar to prevent diabetes, perform well in school, and work effectively and safely. There were 37% of military members and 29% of civilian staff who reported they do not get enough restful sleep to function well on the job and in their personal life. Our department is focusing on the needs and benefits of adequate sleep with awareness, education and intervention techniques…”-Trish Skinner, Naval Hospital Bremerton Health and Wellness Department

“When we sleep our body goes through a very intricate process where it recovers and rebuilds. Short and long-term memories are allocated and stored. It (also) gives our physical body time to rest and rebuilt broken down muscle and tissue…. Chronic poor sleep can also result in cardiovascular disease, depression and obesity. When it comes to physical recovery, workouts can be totally wasted by not giving our body time to rest and recover.”-Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Christopher Stevens, NHB Mental Health

Also in 2017, U.S. Army’s Fort Belvoir Community Hospital opened a Sleep Medicine Clinic to deal with increased problems due to active duty service members not being able to sleep. It’s working in conjunction with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

“If that [service member] is not at his or her best, it could compromise that person’s safety, their teammates’ safety, it could compromise the mission … Sleep is a critical cog in maintaining optimal health.”-Melissa Mitravich, Belvoir Hospital Sleep Medicine Clinic

Why is the U.S. Air Force spending taxpayer money trying to deprive its own personnel from sleep?

The Idaho Air and Army National Guard recognized for top performance, again.

Idaho Army National Guard’s 1-204th Regional Training Institute (Armor) battalion received a score of 100% on its accreditation inspection: “The overall success of the battalion, including the accreditation results, is a direct reflection of the professionalism and dedication of the non-commissioned officers within this organization.”-Lieutenant Colonel Russel Des Jardins

The unit trains personnel from National Guard, Reserve and Regular Army units from across the U.S. The 1-204th training battalion is experiencing a 20% increase in graduations, compared to last year.

The 124th Fighter Wing at Gowen Field, in Boise, selected to receive the 2016 Meritorious Unit Award, for their deployment to Turkey (TURKEY LOCKS-DOWN U.S. LED NATO BASE! HALTS IDAHO AIRSTRIKES AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE!): “There can be no greater recognition for a combat organization than that given for exceptional performance in direct combat with the enemy for both engaged and supporting warriors.”-Colonel Tim Donnellan

“While deployed the Airmen of the 124th Fighter Wing flawlessly executed more than 1,700 combat sorties providing two of the largest strikes on the enemy’s oil production and transportation resulting in a 50 percent revenue loss. They also led the Qayyarah-West airstrip repair, an estimated 180-day project, which our members were able to complete in only three weeks. Their recovery of this airstrip was key to support the Mosul Offensive. While 50 percent of the wing was deployed, members serving at home provided continuity through flawless execution of financial resources, domestic operations, and trained coalition soldiers through six major joint exercises.”-2016 Meritorious Unit Award

You know things are bad when the National Guard starts teaching people how to grow carrots! That’s what they’re doing in West Virginia.

Apparently there is such a low supply of carrots in the region that West Virginia’s National Guard and Capitol Conservation District are conducting operations Patriot Guard-ens and Farm Roots (in that order). The first Farm Roots carrot growing course was conducted on 13APR2018, however, Patriot Guardens was started in 2017 (The Journal: “National Guard is transitioning armories into agriculture transition/training hubs”).

It’s not just a low supply of carrots but Director of Patriot Guardens Education and Deputy Director of Economic Development, Melissa Stewart, also says it’s about prepping for survival: “Sharing my knowledge of agricultural production is one way that I hope to help our participants find some peace of mind through working with their hands toward developing a more self-sufficient lifestyle.”

One reason for the carrot shortage is that West Virginia’s dirt is not conducive to growing carrots, so the taxpayer/donation funded program is teaching individuals how to use raised beds and better soil. The National Guard claims they’ve also got buyers waiting in the wings; area restaurants that are having a hard time getting affordable carrots.

Slow disaster relief: Florida militia discovers a major cause, new preps for Hurricanes!

“I stressed after Hurricane Irma that we have to get our counterparts trained as well, because we’re going to need them. We knew that it was not enough to take on the mission with just the four of us.”-Master Sergeant Abea Balala, Florida Air National Guard

Army National Guard units are the typical bringers of disaster relief aid, unless roads are impassable and then the Air National Guard is used to airlift supplies into affected areas.

During Hurricane Irma relief efforts Florida Air National Guard Master Sergeant Abea Balala, and his four person team, noticed a major problem with the supplies they got from Army Guard units; while the supplies were packaged for transport by ground vehicles they were not in a condition to be shipped by air (or a lot of personnel had to be used to on & off-load one box at a time), meaning everything had to be re-palletized before being loaded on aircraft. This was a major cause of slow delivery times.

My experience in both the U.S. Air Force and the Army National Guard revealed that Air Force units do not have the manpower to quickly palletize a lot of stuff on short notice, but Army units do.

The ‘higher-ups’ liked the suggestion of Master Sergeant Abea Balala, and last week the Florida National Guard conducted a week-long air transport pallet buildup and cargo preparation course for Army units: “On the Joint Operations side, we’ve been working with the Air side a lot more over the last two years than we ever had. They’re actually part of what is called the ‘Joint Support Group’ … and we work together to coordinate everything throughout hurricane seasons. It means better response, it means better use of our resources. It means if we pack things right and move things right, supplies are going to get to them faster, cheaper, and ultimately may save lives.”-Captain Daniel Munzner, Florida Army National Guard

Fluoride Wars: Petrifies your glands, interferes with sleep, dumbs down your baby?

Having trouble sleeping? Maybe you should stop using fluoride.

Fluoride solidifies/calcifies (petrifies) your pineal gland which, among other things, regulates your sleep pattern, that’s according to Flouride.news. The claim is based on unnamed studies that looked at the glands of dead people.

An article by News Medical Life Sciences says “A pregnant female suffering from chronic fluorosis transfers a significant amount of fluoride to the fetus transplacentally. This increases the risk of fluoride poisoning. The accumulation of fluoride in the fetal brain has been shown to result in significant negative effects on the development of the neurons.”

In Massachusetts, U.S.A., the people of Edgartown “…overwhelmingly defeated an initiative to add fluoride to the town’s water, a rebuff to a controversial order issued by the board of health.”

Reports Healthcare: “….a good number of studies that show the long-term negative effects of fluoride on the body and many of the bodily processes existed before fluoride started being used as an additive.”

“In Canada, we tired of the constant barrage of ‘safe and effective’ so we asked Health Canada for safety studies. They refused. We then sought to find out about the studies they relied on for fluoridation under the Freedom of Information Act and, after 1.5 years, Health Canada got back to us and admitted that they had none. Not a single safety study was to be found!”-Robert C Dickson, community physician in Alberta, Canada

In India, fluoride poisoning is common: “People only notice the complications after having consumed the water for decades. Unfortunately, it is too late by then.”
