Dog Day Snowfall

On 04APR2023, the U.S. National Weather service reported record level snow on the Pocatello Airport, which is located in Power County (not Bannock County, as a lot of people mistake), “Last year, out at the Pocatello Airport, we have around 33 inches through April 3. This year, we have 65.1 inches.”-Vernon Preston, National Weather Service

Had to dig out the buried snow shovel.

But record levels of snow also hit Bannock County, where I live. According to the National Weather Service, the cities of Chubbuck and Pocatello (both in Bannock County) got at least 19 inches of snow. Since 01APR2023, several towns and cities through out East Idaho and Southeast Idaho set new snow records.

U.S. Hunger Games: ‘Woke’ U.S. Air Force creates Mobile Food Pantry for its Airmen!

Image March 30, 2023 Hutchins AAron

30 March 2023 (09:52-UTC-07 Tango 06) 10 Farvardin 1402/08 Ramadan 1444/09 Yi-Mao(2nd month) 4721/30 марта 2023 года

When I first enlisted in the U.S. military, in 1982, I got a whoping $6-hundred per month as an E1! Today, in 2023, the Defense Financing and Accounting Service reports that an E1 gets paid $1-thousand-917 per month! And don’t forget the extra pay; basic allowance for subsistence (BAS, aka food), clothing allowance, aviation incentive pay, submarine duty, dive duty, foreign language, hardship duty, hazardous duty, imminent danger pay, exemption from FICA taxes if on active duty for more than 30 days, health professions bonuses, muster duty allowance, ROTC allowance, exempt from paying taxes while in a combat zone!

Did you notice the BAS (food)? That is correct, the Department of Defense already pays military personnel extra for food (where food is not available on-base, or when living off-base), the BAS rate for enlisted personnel is $452 per month. But wait, there is more, they have a BAS-2 rate, which is now at $905 per month! When I got married in the mid-1980s, the most I got from the BAS was $2-hundred, and no USAF supplied food pantries then!

Amazingly, even with extra pay specifically for food, the Department of Defense claims that 24% of active-duty military personnel are food insecure, wow!!!

U.S. Air Force photo, Hurlburt Air Force Base, Florida, 24FEB2023.

So why then has the U.S. Air Force begun its first ever mobile food pantry truck service specifically for its own Airmen? Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, in sunny Florida, began its Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry service in February 2023.

The USAF is using a food truck operated by an organization called Feeding the Gulf Coast (part of the covert military operation known as Feeding America), volunteers with the Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry say they handed out 5-thousand pounds of food last month. And apparently it is a once per month event, every fourth Friday of every month, unless it is a holiday. All Airmen and their families, regardless of rank, will not be turned away: “We’ll put the food in their car, and they can go about their merry way.”-Mauli Patel, volunteer

The Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry is in addition to the regular brick-n-mortar (in the base chapel) food pantry operations on the base.

Is this proof the United States is in much worse economic shape than officials are admitting to, or, are ‘woke’ military personnel just fat and spoiled?

.22 rimfire Rifles/Air Soft Guns are Assault Rifles? Or, why the U.S. news media uses ‘Assault Rifle’ term incorrectly!

Image March 29, 2023 Hutchins AAron

It is bad enough that the woke-news-media like to refer to low-velocity/small caliber semi-auto rifles as ‘assault rifles’ (which goes against many states’ definition of an assault rifle), and as ‘high powered’, but the gun industry isn’t helping and are making things more confusing for police as even .22 caliber rimfire rifles, and even .22 caliber pellet (Air Soft) rifles, are made to look like ‘assault rifles’.

Sig-Sauer .22 caliber ‘airsoft’ pellet rifle, available on Amazon!

The main clue to the type of rifle used is the width of the magazine, on most rimfire and Air Soft guns it is too narrow to be that of a larger caliber rifle.

Ruger’s 10/22 made to look like an M4 assault rifle, notice the skinny magazine.

But you can’t trust the width of the magazine, as some 22 rifle manufacturers even use magazines that look like the larger caliber guns!

Sportsman’s Outdoor Superstore claims this is a .22LR rifle, notice the full sized assault rifle magazine with the loading channel which is indicative of a 22LR.

The identifying feature of a 22 rifle with full sized magazine is the vertical channel running through the magazine, which is typical of all 22 magazines. With 22 rimfire magazines you have a lever on the magazine which you have to pull down in order to load the 22 rimfire rounds.

A ‘Primer’ About Rimfire Vs. Centerfire Ammunition

The .22 rimfire is considered a cheap-o plinker, to be lethal you have to be at close range, and hit just the right part of the body. But then even the more powerful AR-15/M16/M4 assault rifles are considered plinkers.

Assault Rifle: AR-15/M16 IS NOT ‘HIGH POWER’ OR ‘HIGH VELOCITY’! IT’S A ‘PLINKER’!

There is a lot of confusion over whether or not rimfire guns are considered assault rifles under ‘The Law’. It depends on which country you live in, and here in the United States it also depends on which state you live in. In California, the rimfire round itself does not make an assault rifle, but how the rifle is outfitted determines its classification as an assault rifle, especially regarding the capacity of the magazine (California anti-2nd Amendment laws are constantly being changed, so do your research).

In most U.S. states, that have legal definitions of what an Assault Rifle is, what matters most is if the rifle has a ‘select-fire’ option, meaning you can select to fire semi-automatically or automatically. Realize that this type of definition means that the term Assault Rifle can only be applied to guns that can fire automatically, like a machine-gun, most mass shooters are not using guns that can fire automatically, which means (depending on the state) that most mass shootings do not involve Assault Rifles! Is this why most police departments across the U.S. use the phrase ‘assault-type weapon’ in their press releases and not assault rifle? Why does the woke-news-media incorrectly slap the label ‘assault rifle’ on any shooting that happens?

Example: The AR-15 is a semi-auto version of the M16, this means the AR-15 (in most U.S. states) is not legally an assault rifle, they are considered ‘sporting rifles’. The M16 and its offspring, like the M4, are select-fire weapons making them legally (in most U.S. states) assault rifles. In the United States automatic machine guns are not illegal, ownership requires the purchase of an expensive FFL (Federal Firearms License, and that is just to apply it does not mean you will get one). There are several types of FFLs, and you will be entered into a government database.

WW3 Shenanigans: New F-15 Eagle forces Qatar to invade Idaho?

“The F-15QA aircraft is the most advanced version of the fighter ever built. It brings to its operators next-generation technologies such as fly-by-wire flight controls, digital cockpit, modernized sensors, radar, and electronic warfare capabilities, and the world’s fastest mission computer. Increases in reliability, sustainability and maintainability allow defense operators to affordably remain ahead of current and evolving threats. The F-15QA’s advances will enable it to bolster the U.S. and allied coalition’s ability to project lethal force and protect allied forces and locations.”-Boeing

Essentially, the F-15QA is a Qatari version of the new F-15EX.

On 14MAR2023, the military leaders of the Qatar Emiri Air Force paid a visit to Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB), in Southern Idaho. The purpose of the visit was to scout-out a new U.S. based home for a Qatari Air Force unit!

Establishing a Qatari military unit on a U.S. Air Force (USAF) base inside the United States is known as the Qatar Emiri Air Force Bed-down Proposal.

This is connected to Qatar’s recent purchase of the new Boeing F-15QA. The F-15QA is a new Eagle built specifically for Qatar. In 2017, Qatar ordered 36 F-15QAs. It is also known as the Falcon-5.

The USAF issued an environmental report claiming that the additional F-15s (Singapore operates F-15SGs from Mountain Home) will have “no significant impact” on the local ecology. However, a final decision on where to ‘beddown’ the new Qatari F-15QA/Falcon-5 unit has not been made.

Pandemic Perfidy: Pfizer & Moderna accused of stealing $1.4-Billion from taxpayer funded Bill Gates Global Vax Program?

Despite the ‘woke’ news media, and government officials, repeatedly saying that the mRNA vaccines are ‘free’, they are not, they are paid for with taxes raped out of unwilling taxpayers. Now a new twist; the Bill Gates founded United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO) global vaccination program called GAVI The Vaccine Alliance, is claiming the manufacturers of mRNA vaccines failed to delivery on $1.4-billion worth of vaccines, which were paid for up-front!

The Gates/UN-WHO GAVI The Vaccine Alliance mRNA program is known as Covax, which somehow stands for COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access. The Covax operation has been funded by both taxes from participating countries, like the United States, and from donations.

On 30JAN2023, USCG Cutter Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) captured 4-thousand kilograms of hashish and 512 kilograms of methamphetamine, in the Gulf of Oman. This was the first drug seizure in 2023 for Combined Task Force (CTF)-150: “This is just the beginning of our work in delivering maritime security operations in the region to stop illicit activities and drug smuggling. This comes as a result of a valued partnership between CTF 150 and all partner nations in Combined Maritime Forces.”-Captain James Byron, United Kingdom Royal Navy, current leader of CMF-150 (so, even the U.S. led anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Oman are commanded by Red Coats!)

Also on 30JAN2023, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence gave a short history of the U.S. Tactical Analysis Teams (TATs) deployed to Central and South America, in the name of taking the Reagan era War on Drugs international.

Obviously, to me, it has been a resounding failure, but don’t tell that to the taxpayer funded U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, or U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reported capturing more than 379 million potentially deadly doses of fentanyl in 2022, enough to kill every American!

World War 3: Idaho’s Combat Training Area expanded! Millions spent on fire fighting!

Image February 17, 2023 Hutchins AAron

The Idaho National Guard revealed that over the past few years the training area known as Orchard Combat Training Center (formerly known as Orchard Training Area [OTA], back when I was a member of the Idaho Army National Guard) was greatly expanded, from approximately 143-thousand acres to more than 170-thousand acres!

Orchard Combat Training Center (OCTC) is located on federally owned BLM (Bureau of Land Management) property. In the past few years the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has spent big taxpayer dollars making the OCTC a premier combat training area, but it still doesn’t come close to the size of the U.S. Army’s Fort Irwin-National Training Center, in California.

The expansion of 2022 required more money to be spent, on upgrading the OCTC fire department. When I was in the Idaho Army National Guard there was no fire department on the OTA, but that changed in 2013, due to the massive spending by the DoD to create a new OCTC. To justify a fire department located out in the middle of BFE western Idaho, in 2014, the Idaho National Guard established mutual aid agreements between Orchard Fire & Emergency Services, the Boise Fire Department and the Oasis Volunteer Fire Department. In 2020, a deal was made with the Idaho Transportation Department. Currently, there are deals in the works with the Mountain Home Fire Department, and Mountain Home Air Force Base.

Idaho Army National Guard photo by Crystal Farris, 11JAN2023.

The result is that the OCTC Fire & Emergency Services has responded to more than 120 fires, and more than 40 emergency service calls on Interstate 84: “The Orchard Fire and Emergency Services is able to support emergency responses in local communities and during accidents on the interstate through mutual aid agreements. The agreements provide a benefit to not only those in need during emergencies, but also our firefighters who continuously hone their skills.”-Lieutenant Colonal Eric Sharp, OCTC director

Idaho Army National Guard photo by Crystal Farris, 11JAN2023.

Since 2019, the Idaho National Guard’s Orchard Fire & Emergency Services got federal taxpayer money for new vehicles, equipment, plus more than $6-million in building renovations which expanded the fire-station’s size from 10-thousand square feet to 21-thousand square feet. Also, the number employees went from 15 to 30.

It was not revealed as to where the Georgia state militia was deploying to, other than “overseas”.

Here is some interesting food-crisis information; back in April 2011, 58 of Georgia’s RSG militia personnel were ordered into active federal service, as Agribusiness Development Team-1. Then in 2012, a second ADT unit (known as Agribusiness Development Team-2) from Georgia was deployed. In 2013, ADT-3 was deployed, again from Georgia. Agribusiness Development Teams (ADT) are all about spending U.S. taxes helping Afghanistan grow food! Multiple state militia units from several U.S. states served in the ADT role in Afghanistan.

The visit of the miniature of the latest USS Idaho (several USN boats have been named after The Gem State) was instigated by the USS Idaho Commissioning Committee, which sent six of SSN-799’s future crew to Idaho, to learn just what-the-heck the state of Idaho is all about. They also spent some time on Idaho National Guard’s Gowen Field (which is also home to USN/USMC Reserve units); visited the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery; toured the Idaho Veterans Garden in Caldwell; spoke at school assemblies; attended the USS IDAHO Night at the Boise State University, among many other public relations events.

SSN-799 is currently being completed by General Dynamics Electric Boat, in Connecticut, and is expected to be commissioned into the USN in the Autumn of 2024. Former Idaho governor Dirk Kempthorne revealed that the christening ceremony will use a bottle filled with water from Idaho lakes: “We went to the different lakes in Idaho gathering the water, which will all go into the champagne bottle, so that when Terry Stackley, our sponsor, christens the boat, the first water that will touch the bow of the USS Idaho will be the waters of Idaho.”
