“We are going to have to stop being the policemen of the world.”-Donald Trump, August 2015 interview with Hugh Hewitt
“To say this is a typical deployment would be an under statement. This unit didn’t exist a year ago, not only is it new to Kentucky, it’s new to the Army’s force structure.”-Lieutenant Colonel Tom Roach
“National Guardsmen make up 39% of the operational force. In this day and age, we must rely heavily on one other to meet the demands in such a complex global environment. This unit is a testament of the increased responsibility of the Kentucky National Guard and our ability to answer the call to defend our country.”-Brigadier General Scott Campbell
“We are going to have to stop being the policemen of the world.”-Donald Trump, August 2015 interview with Hugh Hewitt
Kentucky National Guard’s Main Command Post-Operational Detachment of the 101st Airborne Division deploying to Afghanistan for the next 12 months.
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.
Mother Earth has yet again rendered human efforts to stop climate change impotent. Not only did the October 2017 Northern California wildfires pump massive particulate matter into the atmosphere, but at least 1-million tons of waste was created on the ground!
Fire clean-up in Santa Rosa, California, 02FEB2018
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the California Office of Emergency Services report that so far more than 1-million tons of debris has been removed from Sonoma County.
Sonoma County is known for its wine. 1-million tons is equal to four million barrels of wine, or 200-thousand acres (about 81-thousand hectares) of vines.
But 1-million tons is just the beginning, the October 2017 wildfires affected Napa, Lake and Mendocino counties. And don’t forget all the other California fires in 2017.
You silly humans, spending your precious tax dollars trying to stop climate change! Evolution says ‘adapt or go extinct’!
“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
In this video learn that one of the reasons for opioid addiction is skyrocketing unemployment, proving that the official government touted unemployment rate is Fake News:
In this video learn that opioid use is overwhelming the foster care system for children:
“…President Trump declared a national health emergency… The leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 50 is drug overdose!”-Jeff Sessions, U.S. Attorney General, Opioid Summit
On 08FEB2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions attended the Opioid Summit, hosted by U.S. Southern Command (SouthComm).
The Department of Defense led Opioid Summit was trying to find a way to bring together healthcare organizations, local law enforcement and the military in an attempt to create a national ‘collective response’ to the record level of drug abuse in the United States, without the President having to declare Martial Law.
The pseudo-martial-law organization was referred to as the U.S. ‘interagency’.
