It wasn’t Just Wisconsin sending their militia to help The Golden State; Arizona, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma sent Air National Guard TACPs (Tactical Air Control Party Specialists) and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) aircrews at the request of the Boise, Idaho, based National Interagency Fire Center: “The entire fire service lacks fire fighters, equipment, and especially intelligence capable assets. Being able to utilize TACPs and the ISR aircraft during fire suppression efforts is filling a large gap that we, in civilian government lack. The expertise TACPs bring truly makes our jobs much easier, safer, and can translate into our mission objectives.”-George Violante, National Interagency Fire Center

The National Interagency Fire Center says military TACPs are perfect for the job of wildland fire fighting from the air: “They require limited training and can engage right into providing real-time critical decision-making information for the incident management personnel. The constant demand for this type of support speaks for itself. We appreciate their time away from their families and the long hours they work to support the Interagency National Fire Center and fire staff on the ground.”-George Violante

Tyndall AFB cops join local Bay County Sheriff’s Office to learn about a new bumper mounted ‘grappler’ system, 12DEC2021. U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sergeant Magen M. Reeves.
The U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) Security Force (formerly Security Police or Air Police), on Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), have made a policing deal with the Florida Highway Patrol and the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

The policing deal blurs the federal-state-local police jurisdiction lines by allowing USAF police to patrol Bay County and Highway 98, and will allow state and county law enforcement to patrol the AFB.
In July 2021, Tyndall AFB tactical response team conducted SWAT training with Bay County Sheriff’s Office and Panama City Police Department. USAF photo by Staff Sergeant Stefan Alvarez.
However, this is not the first time that Florida has allowed the USAF to get involved with local police ops: “We have been fortunate lately to be more active with Tyndall in a training aspect. We have had an awesome time sharing information, experiences, and seeing first-hand the mutual respect we have for each other.”-Lieutenant Jason King, Florida Highway Patrol
In December 2020, Tyndall AFB partnered with Bay County Sherriff’s Office to conduct a police driver course (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course). USAF photo by Second Lieutenant Kayla Fitzgerald.
Pay attention to how Major Jordan Criss, of the USAF’s 325th Security Forces Squadron, explains the rationale behind getting involved in local policing: “These partnerships are a tremendous force multiplier for our Security Forces. Not only due to the necessity for mission generation, but also because we learn so much from one another and establish long lasting ties with the community as ambassadors of the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense.”
‘Force multiplier’ is a military phrase that refers to anything that can be used to increase your unit’s fighting potential. But what does Major Criss mean when he says there is a “necessity for mission generation”? Is there a covert order to increase military policing of civilian areas? Major Criss continued his justification by saying “Integrated Defense is a team sport. Everyone inside and outside the fence line plays a different role for the collective effort to protect our power projection platforms and the people that generate those missions.” In other words, it’s all about protecting the military, not civilians.

In a more insidious partnership, in June of 2019, Tyndall AFB commander Colonel Brian Laidlaw signed an agreement with Bay County to create a permanent county tax collection operation on the federal air base! Officially it was so that Bay County residents working on-base wouldn’t have to take time off from their jobs to pay their local taxes and, for some reason, to reduce lines at the Bay County office (ever hear of mailing in your tax payment?).
And in April 2018, Bay District Schools teacher Cathy Felty got to take a federally funded ride in a Tyndall AFB T-38C, just for winning Teacher of the Year.

“Our adversaries have advanced weapons systems and advanced technology that they can use against us, so we need to be able to operate efficiently in austere situations and gain proficiency in those operations.”-Lieutenant Colonel Brian Wyrzykowski, 127th Wing, Michigan Air National Guard

Claiming to be a first, intentionally operating combat aircraft from a U.S. state highway (such operations having been done in Europe since the Cold War), the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and Michigan Air National Guard conducted operation Thunder LZ (Landing Zone), beginning on 05AUG2021. Thunder LZ involved Michigan Air Guard A-10Cs, U.S. Air Force A-10Cs from Arizona, and USAF C-146As from Florida.

Notice how close the A-10C touched down to the police and fire vehicles.

It is part of wargame Exercise Northern Strike. The highway is M-32, and involved the Michigan Department of Transportation, and a local electricity utility which had to take down some lines so the aircraft could safely land and take-off. Local police were on scene, as well as fire fighters just in case. But first, the M-32 had to be ‘taken’ (secured) by Special Tactics Airmen assigned to the 24th Special Operations Wing.

The USAF says using highways is part of its ‘near peer threat’ Agile Combat Employment (ACE) tactic. The aircraft used are C-146As (Dornier 328) and A-10Cs: “The A-10 allows us to land a lot more places to get fuel, weapons and other armaments so we can operate anywhere, anytime. This will allow us to get away from using built-up bases that our adversaries can target, by moving much more rapidly.”-Captain John Renner, 354th Fighter Squadron, Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona

Staff Sergeant Andrew Schumann shows what it looks like to see a C-146A land on the highway:
Notice that the U.S. military’s C-146A Wolfhound (Dornier 328) wears a ‘silly-vilian’ (civilian) paint scheme. More video of A-10Cs and the C-146A:

It’s not the first time using a highway for A-10Cs from Michigan’s 127th Wing. In June 2016, 127th A-10Cs used a highway in Estonia, during wargame Saber Strike.
Since the days of the undeclared Cold War, NATO and ‘enemy’ forces have practiced using highways for impromptu air bases. The use of Michigan’s M-32 is supposedly the first time a highway within the U.S. was used for such operations. Sounds like the Cold War never went away.
A supposed ‘leak’ of a U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) report revealed that vaccines are not working to prevent infections, or to stop the spread of pathogens. The new data also shows that it is actually vaccinated people that have become the biggest threat to people who are not vaccinated, not the other way ’round!
U.S. Navy photo by Macy Hinds.
One of the Powerpoint subtitles to the leaked CDC report is Breakthrough cases may reduce public confidence in vaccines, and also mentions Primary Vaccine Failure. Breakthrough cases refer to vaccinated people getting infected and sick, even hospitalized, by the very thing the vaccine was supposed to prevent. Click on this to read the leaked CDC Powerpoint presentation.
In this video, Doctor John Campbell discusses the recently ‘leaked’ U.S. CDC’s Powerpoint presentation to the U.S. Congress, which explains why the CDC wants a return to mask wearing for everybody (vaccines actually turn people into super incubators/spreaders):
In this video, the U.S. state of Georgia warns residents that the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox, even if you’ve been vaccinated, vaccines will not halt the spread of new variants:
It looks more and more like The Pandemic is actually a cover-up for some kind of global lockdown. Incomplete list of links to news reports and studies, as of 02AUG2021:

The state National Guard is greatly reducing its pandemic response force to just 40 personnel, and will focus on logistics and vaccinations, at least until federal funding runs out in September.
Washington; While claiming to have a high degree of confidence in vaccines, U.S. Navy Hospital Bremerton covertly admitted vaccines don’t work when they mandated mask wearing: “Regardless of vaccination status, masks will be worn whenever indoors in Department of Defense controlled buildings, such as the clinics and hospital, in areas of substantial or higher community transmission. Do not enter without a facemask!”-Captain Jeff Feinberg, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton
I stopped writing my Dumbing Down U.S.A. series in 2020 because schools shutdown, not just in the United States but globally. In 2021, it is clear to me that the obviously leftist-liberal controlled global education system is just using the pandemic-panic-attack to hasten their control-through-dumbing-down agenda.

German taxpayer funded TV report about education problems in central Africa countries due to violence and pandemic-panic-attack. As you watch the report, be aware that the United Nations is pushing for more and higher education in African countries that have no industries in which to provide employment to highly educated people, in other words they are putting the cart before the horse:
MONGOLIA: Since 2019, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been paying Mongolian contractors to build kindergartens, more school construction projects are planned for 2022: “The U.S. government wants to provide buildings that are sustainable for Mongolia and it is helping to improve the Mongolia building standards by providing more energy efficient structures.”-Rebecca Rosenquist, USACE project manager
Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon has been taking place across the United States for more than a decade, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.
