Quietly, around the 15th of March, 2021, the crew aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Essex-LHD 2 placed shiny black rings on their fingers. The rings came from the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), which claimed they were part of a new way to keep people healthy.

It’s part of a U.S. Navy (USN) study called Crew Readiness, Endurance, and Watchstanding (CREW). The official reason for the CREW ring is so leadership can monitor essential personnel who are not getting enough sleep: “We want CREW to be a decision support tool so that you can understand how fatigued people are and how much sleep they are or are not getting. We can then determine how those fatigue levels correspond with the health of the individual so that we can provide a way or course of action to offset some of the risks that come with fatigue and poor health.”-Doctor Rachel Markwald, NHRC

The crew of the USS Essex are the first to take part in the study. Supposedly, the rings can also detect when a person’s performance is down due to being infected, it is hoped the rings might be able to detect infection before a person realizes they are sick. The CREW monitoring system can also be used in bracelets. Doctor Markwald claims she’s already getting good feedback from crewmembers.

The Lockheed Martin-Leonardo Alenia Aermacchi (aka Leonardo Company) C-27J Spartan is a modernized version of the Aeritalia-Alenia Aeronautica G.222 (aka C-27A). The ‘J’ denotes that it uses the same engines and similar avionics as the C-130J Super Hercules. The concept for the C-27J was apparently suggested in 1997, the first flight of a C-27J was in September 1999. In June 2007, the U.S. Army (USA) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) decided to try the C-27J for their ‘Joint Cargo Aircraft’ operations. By 2009, the USA/Army National Guard Bureau decided they didn’t like the C-27J and gave their Spartans to the USAF/Air National Guard Bureau. The USA said their Chinook, and other utility helicopters, were much more cost effective at tactical transport, than the C-27J.

Despite the publicity over the mishandling of the U.S. Spartan program, and mothballing of ANG aircraft, the C-27J is very much alive, in use with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOC).

Also in the Fauci interview he refers to “a fund” to compensate people injured by vaccines. That fund was established by the U.S. government decades ago due to the fact that people are being injured or killed by vaccines, it’s called National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Idaho; In Chubbuck, the 27 years old Red Lobster suddenly shutdown on 13Mar2021, posting a note on the door blaming pandemic panic-attack restrictions (of which there are none mandated in Chubbuck!), and despite the fact they are crowded at the lunch and diner hours (local reports say the restaurant was packed as usual the night before the sudden shutdown)! While the corporate statement partly blames “government actions” regarding CoViD-19, it actually shutdown due to a failed attempt at a new rent scheme with the owners of Pine Ridge Mall: “This is without question the most challenging time Red Lobster has faced in our 53 years of operation. Like many other full-service restaurants, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change the way we are able to operate, and because of the crisis and consequent government actions, our restaurants, including our restaurant in Pocatello [it’s actually in Chubbuck] have been significantly impacted. After more than 27 years of being part of the Pocatello [Chubbuck, damn it!] community, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close our restaurant at 4105 Yellowstone Highway. This decision was not made lightly, but it is necessary after being unable to reach an agreement with our landlord. We understand the impact this situation has on our guests as well as our employees’ ability to work. These decisions have not been taken lightly, but they are necessary for our business in these unprecedented times.”
Texas; Without warning Red Lobster suddenly shutdown its restaurant in Sugar Land, blaming pandemic panic-attack restrictions. It should be noted that at the beginning of 2020 the Florida based Red Lobster chain was in trouble financially, yet denied rumors that it would soon begin mass shutdowns of restaurants. However by Spring 2020 dozens of Red Lobsters were shutdown across the U.S., blamed on pandemic panic-attack restrictions. Red Lobster administrators claimed they were temporary shutdowns, but many are still closed and now in 2021 there are have permanent shutdowns taking place.

Despite being activated to conduct pandemic panic-attack vaccination operations, the majority of Nebraska National Guard personnel are refusing to get the shot themselves!

When you separate National Guard data into personnel from Army or Air Force units there is a noticeable difference; Air Force personnel are more apt to go along with what the government wants them do to. 42% of Nebraska’s Air National Guard personnel have been vaccinated.
The U.S. Department of Defense refers to vaccines being accepted by personnel as the ‘take rate’. However, it was also admitted by the federal level National Guard Bureau that there won’t be enough vaccines for all the states’ militia units “until later in April.”

On 09JAN2021, civilian employees, and family members of U.S. Air Force (USAF) personnel on Aviano Air Base, lined up to get flu shots. Video by Staff Sergeant Jayson Burns:
Here’s an amazing interview (by Staff Sergeant Jayson Burns) with a USAF vaccination specialist who admits that vaccines will not prevent infection, but as she’s giving other reasons why you should still get the shot she claims that you getting vaccinated will (somehow) protect those who can’t be vaccinated:

Texas; It was explained that anybody eligible for influenza vaccines, on the U.S. Army post called Fort Hood, were automatically eligible for CoViD-19 vaccines.
Washington; On 03FEB2021, U.S. Naval Hospital at Bremerton warned that the CoViD pandemic and influenza were overlapping. U.S. Navy officials noted that personnel were not getting the annual flu vaccine possibly because of the pandemic: “We strongly encourage everyone to get the flu vaccine. It’s now more important than ever due to the ongoing pandemic. It is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases like asthma and diabetes, and those that have weakened immune systems.”-Doctor Dan Frederick, public health emergency officer
For the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed a growing shortage of cat litter products at stores in Bannock County, Idaho.
Photo by AAron Hutchins.
I took this photo in the Pocatello Fred Meyer, on 05MAR2021 at about 22:50, just before they closed for the night. Notice that even litter boxes and some other litter accessories are short supply as well.
Across the street at Winco, they’ve been shifting around slow selling basic clay litter to fill in the empty spaces of the faster selling clumping litter. Is the litter shortage due to panic buying, or continued problems with a new global logistical supply system that still doesn’t work?
There are dozens of cat litter market studies out there, all saying demand is only going to go up, and it’s blamed on what I call pandemic panic-attack syndrome.
Globally, a lot of bigger supply companies are taking over smaller logistics providers, and whenever that happens operations are shutdown and people lose their jobs, and that has to affect supply chain.
