“No one shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords.”-Japanese law, however, after a long permitting procedure a person can own a single-fire gun designed for hunting or sport-shooting (you must first own a shotgun for ten years without incident before owning a rifle)
In the past few years, I’ve posted many examples of how Japan’s anti-gun and anti-knife laws are massive failures. On 08JUL2022, former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo (in Japan the family name comes first, then the ‘given’ name) was shot twice in the neck during a Liberal Democratic Party political campaign event, he died about four hours later in the Nara Medical University.
At a press conference doctors revealed that Abe Shinzo was probably killed instantly, claims that he was shot in the neck with the bullets ending up in the heart (sniper attack from above?), admit that despite invasive surgery they could not find any bullets:
Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main stream news links announcing United States food supply shutdowns, emergencies, outbreaks and recalls for June 2022:
Long explanation how food crisis is second biggest factor behind price inflation (housing is number one). Food price inflation directly linked to fertilizer shortage caused by sanctions and war, yet as a result fertilizer is being stockpiled (farming ops are buying more than what they need out of fear) which will have a long term effect of fertilizer price drops, reducing food prices:
International food analysts (this leftist-liberal report loves to call them ‘experts’) say the food crisis is actually about “…access to food, that people don’t have money to pay for food, that people are jobless.” It is not about a lack of food (I’ve already posted about migrant farm workers in Idaho that say the same thing):

On 15JUN2022, Walmart conducted their yearly Feed ’em for Freedom food fest, on Camp Atterbury, for state National Guard personnel, and their families. Never mind that taxpayers already pay for the meals of military personnel, Walmart probably gets a tax write-off for providing a free BBQ for them. Is this a covert way for the Department of Defense to save money, by preparing state militia to rely on private sector donations for their meals?

On 29JUN2022, U.S. Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) volunteered to help operate the Unite Way’s Children Healthy Eating on Weekends (CHEW) Center, in Jacksonville.
VIRGINIA: On Fort Lee, the USDA kicked off its 13th annual Feds Feed Families (FFF) campaign. This means that for the past 13 years federal employees are being encouraged to donate food to silly-vilians, I mean civilians who are going hungry. Isn’t that a sign the country’s economy sucks? After all, a federal job is considered the best paying entry level job now, and I remember when being a federal employee meant you got less than private sector minimum wage (because I was one)! The FFF program will be collecting food until September 30th. This year U.S. military officials are blaming the food crisis on The Pandemic, as well as domestic and foreign political intrigues: “The annual Feds Feed Families food drive is one of the best ways for commissaries and military families to give back to the communities which host us around the nation. Unfortunately, with the pandemic and related issues of the last few years, the need is as great as it has been in a long time. The good news is that a little goes a long way.”-Sergeant Major Michael R. Saucedo, U.S. Marine Corps, Director of Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA)

In May 2015, the Ohio Air Militia also ‘flew’ their baby F-16 in the Memorial Day parade in Springfield.

Oh course, it had to be ‘bombed-up’ for the solemn occasion (Memorial Day is a solemn holiday about military personnel who got killed, don’t know why the main stream news media always refers to it as a celebration).

Notice that the fake-news wingtip mounted Sidewinders are gloss black with gold fins. According to 185th FW historians, the proposal to paint an F-16 gold was rejected at first, using the ridiculous excuse that painting a fighter gold would somehow render it non-combat ready!

On 30JUN2022, the federal taxpayer funded New York National Guard pandemic mission came to an end. However, 269 National Guard personnel will remain on state funded active duty to assist with logistics, and resolve outstanding financial accounts.
From March 2020 to the end of June 2022, 7-thousand-77 New York Air and Army National Guard personnel served on pandemic duty, and federal taxpayers funded their paychecks to the tune of $290-million.
New York taxpayers spent more than $260-million. New York also has its own Naval Militia, which also deployed for pandemic response. However, since no government official declared the pandemic finished, it is clear now that the true reason for the pandemic deployments was the federal funding, which ended on 30JUN2022.
All the while, other New York Guard units deployed for their usual federally funded military deployments, like to Africa, Antarctica, and Greenland.

“We want to do everything we can to keep Soldiers and Families safe and healthy. This is a readiness issue. The vaccine mandate is in place to protect our Soldiers, and ensure they are prepared to meet the needs of the Army and our Nation.”-Lieutenant Geneneral Jody Daniels, Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding General of U.S. Army Reserve Command
The U.S. Army Reserves (not to be confused with state National Guard units) announced they will begin additional punishments (administrative actions) for those Reservists who still refuse to take the experimental (yet mandated) covid-19 vaccine!
The U.S. Army Reserves claims that 88% of Reservists are “fully vaccinated”, even though it has long been established that with each new variant there is no such thing as being fully vaccinated! However, approximately 7-thousand Army Reserve Soldiers have refused the vaccine order, and have not been allowed an exemption, and effective July 1st they will no longer be paid!
Up until now, eight Reservists in command positions have been relieved of duty, and more than 1-thousand-575 reprimands have been issued, for refusing The Mandate.
Once again, the U.S. Coast Guard captured illegal drugs in the Gulf of Oman, on 31MAY2022 (not reported until 02JUN2022). This time 310 kilograms of heroin.

Between 01-07JUN2022, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) called Operation Cross Check. More than 1-hundred illegals were captured (which is nothing compared to the thousands captured during previous year’s Cross Check operations), most have convictions for crimes including, but not limited to, aggravated assault with a gun, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, hit and run, drug trafficking, and child molestation. Operation Cross Check has been conducted yearly since 2011. ICE video by Charles Reed:

U.S. taxpayers are now being raped to fund heat stress ‘Go-Bag’ kits being handed out to illegals in Arizona’s Tucson Sector! It is part of a 90 days study to make Border Patrol’s mission more ‘humanitarian’, eventually the Go-Bags will be issued across the U.S. southern land border.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol reports 2-thousand-1-hundred-and-92 ‘rescues’ in the month of May! On 09JUN2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol) issued a warning to illegals. The warning was about Mother Nature, and a 90 day ‘scale-up’ of border patrol operations, also, new taxpayer funded heat survival kits will be used to ‘rescue’ illegals. Video was edited for time reasons:
On 10JUN2022, citizens (what the USCG calls ‘good Samaritans’) reported a homemade boat (what the USCG calls a “rustic vessel”) about 7 miles south of Key West. The USCG says the illegals onboard are from Cuba, and claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.
Between 01JUN2022 and 12JUN2022, the USCG District 7 reported capturing at least 52 illegals from Cuba, who were using various forms of rustic vessels. The USCG claims they were returned on 14JUN2022.

During FEMA’s (Federal Emergency Management Agency) 14-16JUN2022 Cascadia Rising training days, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspected those 30 dams, saying “It’s the Super Bowl of disasters for emergencies, and you’ve got to have a team, you’ve got to practice, you’ve got to have some scrimmages, you’ve got to play some games, and you’ve got to go the playoffs before you get to the Super Bowl.”-Mark McKay, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Portland District Catastrophic Disaster Response Program
After Japan’s 11MAR2011 quake and tsunami, geologists and seismologist working for the U.S. government ‘got woke’ to the fact that old stories about an even bigger event hitting the Pacific Northwest of North America might be true, and a review of historical data, and new research, showed there really is a Super Bowl of disasters waiting to strike. The last estimated magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami to hit the Pacific Northwest coastline was on 26JAN1700. The geologic data shows the Cascadia Event is relatively cyclic, meaning you can somewhat expect such a disaster every so many hundreds of years, and some Earth science ‘experts’ say it is overdue.
Blue River Dam, Oregon. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Chris Gaylord, 15JUN2022.
The inspection of the dams a week ago is not the first time, Army Corps of Engineers have spent several year now prepping the dam sites they are responsible for. One of those preparations is regular seismic studies and risk assessments of the dams. Another is to install briefcase sized battery powered satellite communications systems on at least a dozen remote dam sites. The age of electronic communications/social media has an Achilles Heel; electric power and communication links. The megathrust quake is expected to destroy any old fashioned communication transmission lines (both buried and telephone poles), as well electrical power transmission, cell phone service will also go down. People will need battery operated radios and/or phones that directly connect to satellites (Amateur Radio Emergency Services-Cascadia June 2022).

During this year’s Cascadia Rising event, the Corps of Engineers also realized they needed to stockpile food and water for the personnel who would be working on the remote dams after such a disaster.
The Corps of Engineers revealed another problem; all the dam reservoirs are the fullest they’ve been in the past few years, due to heavy late Spring rains. If the megathrust was to pop now, then all that extra water will exacerbate efforts to prevent rivers from flooding downstream.
Cougar Dam, Oregon. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Chris Gaylord, 15JUN2022.
Yet another problem, pointed out during this year’s exercise, is that there might not be anywhere for helicopters to land: “If the earthquake hits, this parking lot might not even be here.”-Helicopter pilot who flew Local Damage Assessment Team (LDAT) to the top of Cougar Dam, in Oregon, during Cascadia Rising 2022

FEMA’s worst case scenario is a tsunami up to 80 feet high, more than a million buildings damaged, thousands of people dead, even more injured and homeless, and that is if the epicenter was near the city of Florence, Oregon. The epicenter could actually be anywhere along the 7-hundred mile Cascadia Subduction Zone, which stretches from Northern California to British Columbia.
King County, Washington, tries to show you what the Cascadia Megathrust Event will look like:
Only NATO Germany’s PanzerHaubite (PzH) 2000, and NATO France’s CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie), are the only artillery systems delivered to Ukraine, so far, that can outrange the Russian systems. However, the numbers of PzH 2000 and CAESARs promised are just a piddly fraction of what Ukraine needs, and have yet to be delivered.
Video posted 22JUN2022, showing Russian ‘V’ (?, maybe Z) forces using an old-skool Cold War era towed rocket launcher against Ukrainian forces in Ugledar area:
Some NATO countries are sending more artillery systems, but they are the old Soviet era systems, like the 2S1 and 2S3, which do not give Ukraine a tactical advantage.
Music video, posted 09JUN2022, of Cold War era BM-27 220mm Uragan rocket launcher being used by Russian ‘Z’ forces against Ukraine:
Russian ground forces are so not worried about the U.S./NATO artillery ‘support’, that they themselves are using outdated artillery systems against Ukraine. This video was posted on 23JUN2022, showing Russians using Cold War era 152mm towed guns and BM-21 rocket launchers:
Another major problem for the U.S./NATO is that many of the delivered weapon systems (like the Javelin) were captured by Russian forces and are now being used by them against Ukraine!
The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Federal-army) Theresian Military Academy critiques the U.S./NATO weapon systems being sent to Ukraine, pointing out that the amount are far below what Ukraine actually needs, and Ukrainians are not being properly trained on these weapons, resulting in “no significant effect on the battlefield” for Ukraine:
