DUMBING DOWN THE U.S.A., JULY 2018: SCHOOL CRIMES SKYROCKETING!

Idaho, Opinion

Idaho’s Child Soldiers? Blame ‘christian’ society, blame the parents!

Image

“Our military leaders bring state and local officials, school administrators, and teachers up to visit the academy and cadets to demonstrate the good return on investment that is happening up here. When they see firsthand the hundreds of lives this program positively effects each year, the program sells itself.”-Collier Lipple, executive officer to the adjutant general of Idaho, and notice the salesman lingo he uses to promote the covert child soldier program

In the Christian dominated (67% according to Pew Research Center, but predominantly ‘Mormon’ LDS by 19%, then Catholic by 10%, all other ‘christian’ denominations come in at less than 6% each) U.S. state of Idaho children are undergoing military training, at taxpayer expense.

It’s called the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy.  The NG in ChalleNGe is capitalized because the U.S. Department of Defense funded program is run by the state militia (National Guard).  It’s just one of 40 similar Department of Defense ‘child soldier’ programs operated across the United States.

By September 2018, Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy got its largest number of ‘cadet’ enrollments for a single 22 weeks-long program; 135!

This is concerning, not because it looks like child soldier training, but because Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy is for youth considered ‘at risk’ of becoming ‘failures’ (according to the standards of the ‘christian’ dominated state government), and the National Guard reported that the current enrollment of 135 teenagers is the largest ever since the program started, that implies the number of at risk youth is only going up in Idaho.

According to press releases, the goal of 1-thousand Idaho teenagers graduating from the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy is about to be met.  Most of them have come from the Treasure Valley (Boise metro) area of Idaho.

I’m not against military training for youth, I couldn’t wait to join the military, always obsessed with armored vehicles since before kindergarten, so I joined when I was 17 back when you didn’t need to be a high school graduate.  It wasn’t until about 1984-85 that Congress required military enlistees to be high school graduates.

Ideally military training for youth should be voluntary, for those who know it’s the career path for them, it should be a last resort for kids considered ‘failures’.  Back during the undeclared Cold War there were lots of people who were forced to join the U.S. military as an alternative to a prison sentence for a crime they committed.  Some of those guys did well, even said it saved their lives, but there were those that were so criminal minded (some to the point of rape and murder) they ended up in Fort Leavenworth (military prison).

Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy was started in January 2014, ordered by gov’na C.L. ‘Butch’ Otter to push through 1-thousand ‘failures’ by December 2018.  But who should be blamed for these child failures? Idaho Air National Guard Master Sergeant, Becky Vanshur, wrote about the program saying at one point “… they learn to adjust to the physical, mental, and social discipline…..  …emphasizes self-discipline, self-esteem, education, and the development of healthy lifestyles.”  Gee, isn’t that what they’re supposed to be learning from their church, schools and parents?

I know ‘christian’ parents here in eastern Idaho that couldn’t handle their own children, they even resorted to calling the police to have them ‘detained’ in the county jail for failing to obey them (Juvenile Incorrigibility).  And it’s christian (especially Mormon) families that seem to have the most problems with their children, I know people that work in the juvi detention for Bannock County who’ve told me (no names given because law enforcement employees could lose their jobs for talking publicly about anything they see, or hear, on the job) the overwhelming majority of kids detained come from Mormon families (the overwhelming majority of eastern Idaho law enforcers are Mormons, so they should know).

see related: In Mormon dominated School District 25 (aka Chubbuck/Pocatello) students experiencing skyrocketing disciplinary problems, “More children were expelled… …and even elementary students got in trouble more often for threats, drug possession and sexual offenses.”

The combined rate of those struggling added up 38 percent of all Bannock County households…   ….the conclusions of the 24/7 Wall St. study and the ALICE study, conducted by two divergent groups with different methodologies and for different purposes, converge.

Grizzlies: Mysterious Deaths and Behaviors

“…there are occasions where bears don’t behave like other bears.”-Brad Hovinga, Wyoming Game and Fish Department

“…grizzly bears can be more aggressive than black bears when it comes to protecting their young and food sources.”–Johnny Mikes, Coast to Cascades Grizzly Bear Initiative

24SEP2018 (13:39 UTC-07 Tango 06) 02 Mehr 1397/13 Muharram 1440/15 Xin-You (8th month) 4716

The most aggressive version of the Brown Bear, the North American Grizzly, has been behaving even more aggressively than normal and even mysteriously dying.  The strange deaths might be a reason why a U.S. federal judge has repeatedly delayed the promised grizzly bear hunting in the United States (the official reason is to consider putting them back on the endangered list).

The most recent grizzly attack took place this month in the U.S. state of Wyoming, it is unusual in that it involved two grizzly bears working together to attack an experienced hunting guide and his client.  The guide was killed and an investigation showed he was attacked by both the bears.  The client survived and said they were on horseback attempting to retrieve an elk they shot with an arrow.  As they approached the elk they were attacked by both bears, the client was dragged off his horse.  The guide got the attention of the bears away from his client by yelling at them, however they then attacked and killed the guide (beside being armed with a bow and arrows, they were armed with a pistol which proved useless). The client was able to escape on horseback.

It should be noted that the hunting guide’s family posted a gofundme which states he was attacked by a bear, singular, but investigators confirmed he was attacked by a sow and a yearling, two bears.  Wyoming Fish & Game say they were able to find and kill the two bears.

There’s been increased documented cases of deaths of grizzlies, both in the United States and Canada.  In the past year or so most of those deaths are attributed to humans killing them, either through illegal shooting (poaching), mistaken shooting (hunters mistaking them for black bears), or by being run-over by road vehicles or trains.  The latest grizzly death data out of the U.S. Yellowstone National Park area shows at least 33 bears found dead from undetermined causes (so far).  Believe it or not, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team labeled some of the dead grizzlies as “probable” deaths (if your dead your dead, unless you’re undead, bear zombies?)!  The official Yellowstone grizzly death count has yet to be made public: “The season where everything is usually determined in terms of grizzly bear mortality is still coming up. Basically, the deciding weeks will be in late September or early October. It really depends on how we fare through those weeks.”-Frank van Manen, federal government researcher
