Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Chris Miller receives the CoViD-19 vaccine, 14DEC2020.
When U.S. President Donald Trump promised a CoViD vaccine by the end of 2020 the main stream news media, their scientific medical ‘experts’, and even Joe Biden, stopped short of calling President Trump a fool. Now that the U.S. has several CoViD vaccines the news media refuses to acknowledge Trump’s promise!
Operation Warp Speed is a President Donald Trump ordered partnership among components of the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense, to produce and deliver 300-million doses of safe and effective vaccines as a part of a broader strategy to accelerate the development, manufacturing and distribution of CoViD-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.
Video, Operation Warp Speed reminds you how wrong the U.S. news media, and Joe Biden, was:

CoViD-19 fearmongering restrictions kill-off more restaurants in Eastern Idaho (some of those fearmongering restrictions are the fault of the restaurant owners themselves, one Asian style buffet in Pocatello is now open only four days per week and requires you to wear a mask, except when you are actually shoveling food into your mouth, and if you don’t have a mask they force you to buy one of theirs)

The ‘new’ Blue Angels Fat Albert is actually an old British empire Royal Air Force C-130J, which underwent rebuild by Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group in United Kingdom. A Forbes report says it cost U.S. taxpayers $29.7-million. (which isn’t too bad, considering that in 2014 a new C-130J would cost between $67-million and $167-million depending on options)

“A person who has acquired the chikungunya virus is infectious in the first week of illness, which means that the infected person can transmit the virus to another person through a mosquito bite…”-DTRA warning from 27APR2020
Since the end of April 2020, the U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has been warning of a new pandemic for 2021, based on a new computer program that analyzes historical data of past pandemics, as well as using ‘real time’ data like climate anomalies and mosquito activity. The real time data is coming from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center, the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases, Pan American Health Organization, Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the U.S. Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch.
On July 15, DTRA issued the following video warning:
According to DTRA, Netflix made a documentary about the coming CHIKrisk pandemic, as part of Netflix’s Connected series, to be aired sometime in Autumn 2020.
U.S. Navy warns the people of Dominican Republic of CHIKrisk threat, October 2019.
While the U.S. Army has been warning of a chikungunya pandemic since May of this year, the U.S. Navy has been making warnings since 2014. Here’s a much more detailed U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery explainer and warning video from September 2014:

From 2016: NOW DEADLIER THAN ZIKA, CHIKV (chikungunya) KILLS 15 PEOPLE IN 5 DAYS! CHIKV infections were first noticed in 1955. It was not considered dangerous as it was rare if an infected person died. In 2005 CHIKV had mutated and began rapidly spreading around the world, and it became stronger.
On 23 June 2020, perhaps too much self-restricting pandemic lockdown (I say “self-restricting” as most of us in Eastern Idaho are not adhering to CoViD-19 lockdown, and even the local Sheriff departments refuse to enforce such things) forced me to hit the road for a scenic road-trip from Chubbuck to Bear Lake, Idaho, in my 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8. I was accompanied by one of my daughters, Aryssa May Hutchins (who took 90% of the photos), and Andrew ‘Bulletproof Family Photos’ Erickson.
Aryssa says there’s plenty of room in the backseat.
A lot has changed since then; my children all became adults and moved away to the evil metro-ville called Boise, my house was paid-off the same year I lost my Mail Handler job at the U.S. Postal Service’s Gateway Station (I tried reapplying online as a Clerk but got an instant message saying I wasn’t ‘qualified’ to apply for that position) and apparently my age is keeping me from getting hired by any of the local employers I’ve applied at thus forcing me to live off my children’s ‘inheritance’ (ha, fortunately they’re all financially better-off than I was at their ages), my parents died which in turn forced me to realize I wasn’t getting any younger and I had not fulfilled one of my personal promises to acquire a muscle car (having sold-off my muscle car projects in the early 1980s due to the skyrocketing costs of becoming a spouse and parent) thus providence led me to a one-of-a kind (for Eastern Idaho) second-hand Dodge Challenger SRT-8 with 6-speed manual transmission and low mileage. The original owner was forced to sell due to a back surgery that left her unable to engage the clutch pedal without pain. Ironically she bought the Challenger brand new from the Dodge dealer in Pocatello for the same reasons I wanted to buy it; loss of relatives reminding her that she was not getting any younger, and reminiscing about her young adult days driving muscle cars in the 1970s (yes, many women owned and drove their own muscle cars back in the days when feminists were burning their bras for ‘equality’).
Cache National Forest
Face masks are mandatory!
U.S. National Forest Service’s Minnetonka Cave (aka Caverns), be careful, the steps and handrails in the cavern are wet and slick as ice. Also, you better be in shape, there’s a lot of steep climbing and wearing the face-masks makes you feel like you’re going to suffocate.
Minnetonka supposedly means Falling Water, or Great Water. There is a lot of water coming down inside the cave, through earthquake fault lines that run through the cave ceiling.
The tour guide tried to convince me that I was looking at Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Statue of Liberty?
Bring your neon-black light flash light, these rock are radioactive (high phosphorus content)!
They call it Stairway to Heaven, I calls it Stairway OF Hell!
Can you see the petrified Hypno-Toad?
Some bats were fluttering around, the tour guide seemed concerned.
I survived, but wait, this isn’t where I parked the car!
I always regret bringing a jacket, I end up soaked with sweat. The cave is a constant 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius), but you wouldn’t know it because you overheat climbing up and down the very steep stairs.
There appears to be some faces in the rock-face of this outcrop above us.
Rock spirits of Minnetonka!
We hadn’t planned on going to Bear Lake but its bright blue water beckoned us as we came down off the mountain. We’re now suffering with solar induced radiation poisoning (sunburn), in other words we got fried.
“I gotta rock!”
Arriving at the North Beach of Bear Lake we discovered it was packed. After paying the Idaho State Parks $5 parking fee at the gate on the west entrance, I drove all the way to the east end to find a parking spot. Being Idahoans we counted license plates, one or two vehicles with Idaho plates, at least three with Oregon plates, at least 90% of the vehicles had Utah plates, I facetiously hope we don’t get sick with all those domestic foreigners around. Most of the beach area was wall-to-wall people and despite ‘the age of CoViD-19’ nobody was wearing masks or ‘social distancing’, but what we should have done was protect ourselves from the Sun.
Gulliver goes renegade on the tiny Lilliputians!
Bear Lake’s North Beach is shallow, you can walk out for a while with the water getting no higher than your mid-thigh. Some spots are soft sand while other areas are rocky.
Speaking of getting fried, we got hungry and headed back to a row of locally run tourist shops in the tiny town of Saint Charles, including North Beach Burgers that sells ‘gourmet’ burgers and shakes. I got the elk meat burger, Andrew got the bacon-black & blue-burger, Aryssa got the standard bacon cheeseburger, and we split a huckleberry shake.
Goes off every hour.
On the way back to Chubbuck we stopped in Soda Springs to refuel the car (it had just a little more than half a tank when we started the road-trip), and with The Fates on our side, hit the ‘captive’ (human-made) Geyser as it went off.
In the past I’ve seen people collecting this sulfur rich water for drinking purposes!
East Side
West Side
Close-up of wooden railing on the West Side of the geyser. Decades of mineralized overspray is petrifying the fence.
Soda Springs also claims to have Idaho’s oldest pharmacy, Eastman Drug, where we found this old 1950s era Mack firetruck.
Interstate-15 has a maximum passenger vehicle speed of 80 miles per hour (128 kilometers per hour) within Idaho, but once you take the Soda Springs turnoff the state highway speed is maxed at 65 mph (104 kph) with lots of drops to 35 and even 25 mph (56-40 kph) going through the many small towns along the way. My 425 horsepower 6.1 Liter (372 cubic inches) hemi V8 managed to average 23 miles per gallon, something my early 1970s muscle car projects (with larger 6.2 L/383 ci and 7.2 L/440 ci motors pumping out less stock-factory horsepower) would be hard pressed to achieve even with the then 55 mph (88 kph) max speed limit on interstates, back then.

Interesting, this recovery training took place in October 2019, yet all the Marines in this pic are wearing N95 masks! The information that came with these pics did not explain why they are wearing N95 masks. N95 masks are not just for medical use, they are also used in various industries for protection against microscopic particles.

The Super Cobra in this video was the subject of a Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel mission (TRAP mission) in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in June 2011. The AH-1W had one of its two turbines quit working and a new engine was installed. The video is of the start-up and take-off after the new turbine was installed:
Most U.S. Marine AH-1W Super Cobras were ‘retired’ by the end of 2019, being resurrected as upgraded AH-1Z Vipers.
You might have heard about the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) with the controversial administrative treatment of the commander who tried to warn of the CoViD-19 infection, and that the crew was replaced while docked in Guam, but what about the USS Kidd (DDG 100)?
28APR2020, USS Kidd (not to be confused with World War Two era USS Kidd DD 661, or Cold War era USS Kidd DDG 993) arrives in San Diego, California, for quarantine. Video of arrival:
The latest USN information revealed that while docked in San Diego most of the crew of USS Kidd was replaced (aka Crew Swap). A skeleton crew was initially left aboard for daily operations, until a ‘caretaker crew’ could take over.
The caretaker crew is conducting ‘strategic deep-cleaning’ and daily operations of the ship. As of 18MAY2020, 90 of the original crew tested negative for CoViD-19 (multiple times) and were allowed back onboard: “Before we clear any Sailor to return to the ship, they must receive two separate negative test results.”-Vice Admiral Richard Brown, commander of Naval Surface Forces and Naval Surface Force Pacific
Video, initial medical screening of USS Kidd personnel in San Diego, on 28APR2020:
The first influenza-like illnesses showed up in early April while the USS Kidd was taking part in counter-drug-running operations in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean.
On 06APR2020, USS Kidd personnel were making their own cloth masks, and trying as best they could on a crowded ship to maintain social-distance. By April 22nd a Sailor had to be medevac-ed off the ship, the next day additional medical staff arrived to begin testing the crew.
Deep cleaning of the USS Kidd is expected to continue until the end of May.
