Sleipner

Since student debt is in the news cycle this week. As I set out seeking details about how this will come about and its potential effects on everyday American taxpayers, I ran across an article about how the US Marshal’s Service sent 7 armed officers to arrest a man on a delinquent $1500 student loan from over 30 years ago.  But of course, that rabbit hole went sideways, or rather I did.  Someone in a FBook group posted a short cut n’ paste text meme that was based on the recent article by Cal Thomas posted by The Epoch Times and The Daily Signal called “Guns of Washington: 5 Agencies With Gun Stockpiles.”  I was totally unaware of this opinion piece until I began writing the conclusion for this piece.  Although he doesn’t provide any proven source information other than the 2017 Forbes article, I decided to delve just a bit deeper and provide newer and more detailed information with my own brand of sarcasm. 


I quickly ran across the since published GAO (Government Accountability Office) Audit report on federal agencies spending literally billions on militarization.  Yes, this was somewhat in the news not so long ago, but the mainstream corporate media outlets drowned it out.  Granted that the list of agencies is ‘primarily’ law enforcement in nature; however, there are some surprises and “what the eFFs”.

On page 29 there is a table showing the US Department of Health and Human Services and subordinate entities.  For example, the DHHS Office of Investigation has as of the date of the report almost 200 Fully Automatic Machine Guns and nearly 400,000 rounds for those weapons.  Better yet is the entry about the National Institutes of Health reporting that the information is too sensitive to provide.  What? Why would they need weapons too sensitive to report and better yet under what damn authority could they respond to a GAO Audit this way? What the eFF is Fauci hiding? 




Continuing through the report, the subject of accountability, or rather lack of is addressed.  From this section I have several questions:

Why does the EPA needs weapons and why they are losing their weapons?

Why does the BIA need to have arms purchasing language like this:

“Consistent with FPDS-NG guidance, the entire purchase was categorized as guns, through 30mm”

Why does the VA need breeching and riot equipment and “Large Caliber Launchers”?

Although spending on weapons is huge, the spending on equipment and ammunition is astonishing.  In reviewing the way ammunition (and weapons too) is purchased and tracked there are a lot of inconsistencies that look to actually add up to far more than these agencies reported to the GAO.  The DHS is the worst at being honest about their massive buildup.  The GAO report concluded that the DHS overall equipment spending was up to 677% under reported in the ‘other than weapons’ category and half of the actual weapons spending.  

But let’s get back to the NIH and why they have almost off the book’s tactical teams?  After some more digging, I found that they do in fact have a very large law enforcement/security apparatus that has very broad powers. 

They even operate/contract their own troll army to “collect and counter information on the internet”. Let that sink in… but not too deep.  This where the 1811 factor comes in.  1811 is the federal government’s GS or ‘Personnel Identifier” for employees that are classified as “Special Agents”. The fed’s version of DoorKicker/Operator.  When most folks think of US Federal Special Agents, they tend to be picturing FBI, DHS, DEA and ATF, and of course those NCIS folks popularized by Hollywood – most of the characters in those shows and movies are not 1811s.  These other positions do exist and there is an absolute plethora of them, to the tune of nearly 200,000 of them across the United States.   But there are also a ton or more that exist in agencies that you wouldn’t think had them, much less need them.  The NIH is definitely one of them.  The NIH actually has a large physical law enforcement presence that does include military styled units deployed throughout the United States
. 
Sleipnir… I came across this term while looking into what the NIH has going on.  This was the name given to a security operation conducted by the NIH and EPA in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina.  This definitely piqued my interest.  Since the onset of the CV19 pandemic, several universities to include UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke seem to pop up in the footnotes of almost all academic papers published about viral gain of function research surrounding SARs viruses and those studies are co-authored by many Chinese Nationals, some that even returned to China to work at the infamous Wuhan Labs.  The NIH has literally hundreds of acres in the Raleigh-Durham area with one being over 300 acres housing a research facility that requires dozens of specially trained security personnel (the aforementioned 1811s) and private security contractors to provide security to whatever they are doing there.  Be aware that these 1811s are not gate and desk attendees, but trained operators that have access to machine guns and large caliber projectile weapons. 

 

So, what is happening inside those RTP facilities that require on-site high force security teams to secure?  Mind you that almost everything involving the physical security apparatus with the NIH is from redacted GAO files and nearly 10-year-old information that is difficult to find.  One can only imagine what that NIH security apparatus looks like now since the whole bat-monkey virus pandemic and subsequent related issues have occurred.  BTW, I’m still looking for updated information on this.

Fulfillment Is Near

"For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, 'Peace and safety!' then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape." 

Rona 4ever… Profits 4ever… Deserved? 


Today #Fauci announced…

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1OGppB0nLkCU19UrSi3FdjhguAYxP5wHB

"The thing that's important is that [Omicron] appears to be able to evade some of the immune protection of things like monoclonal antibodies, convalescent plasma and the antibodies that are induced by vaccines. That's the sobering news,” Fauci told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" over the weekend.”

The facts surrounding this issue no matter which facet of the political and/or religious facet of the planet you may fall on are suspect at best and right down evil at the worst.  All of this should give any person reason to take pause when making their own personal healthcare choices.  With that choice should absolutely come the respect for others that make a different choice when it comes to their own personal healthcare decisions.  I personally do not care if you choose to think you are being inoculated against the US Government made bioweapon that was ‘accidentally’ released from a lab in China… but you also shouldn’t care if I choose to not be assaulted with a type of vaccination that is not yet proven safe and has a questionable development histogram and has already be shown to be less effective than originally claimed and has created significant adverse reactions.  


This man made pestilence that has come upon the world and looks to be with Us forever is in my opinion something that We deserve… We have allowed the governments to become the great beast that controls literally every aspect of our lives.  They take from Our own endeavors and spend those resources to make War against God’s Creation for the personal and secular comfort of an elitist class.  Our labor is converted into weapons of War just like this virus 🦠 and we are made to suffer at our own hands. This is the beast that We the People allowed to come about…

Babel Is Closer Than You Think…

Way Too Far..‽


One positive thing that has come out of the whole CV19 debacle is that the truth about the US government’s role about funding and participating in Nazi Germany styled medical experiments all across the globe.  Two weeks ago it was revealed that the NIH under Fauci had funded Viral GOF/Enhancement research in China and tortuous experiments on animals.  This week it’s been found that the NIH also funded research using the scalps of aborted humans being grafted into rodents.  If this isn’t proof that the US has failed and is as evil as Satan itself then nothing is.  

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1mPSvgji9PbHARcCS9kOl4PzMg4wxBMwH

Yes what Fauci’s NIH is filthy… but even more vile is that despite all the evidence stacking up against the current corporate regime in DC… a lot of Americans are happily swallowing it all head and shaft.  The people are being vilified for speaking out against the idiotic atrocities of the MIC by people that don’t contribute to society.  Satan’s Simps bully the faithful and the truth seekers through all manner of coercive means and promote the degradation of society through false equity and the corrupted courts.


We the People have pretty much abandoned our self and pursue the as legislated American Dream… as shoved down our throats by the coordinated corporate media control… the antithesis of what America is supposed to be. I’m gonna demonstrate this by posting this in a local Fbook group and see how long it takes for a ‘progressive’ to either attack me personally or bring up the last POTUS… whom I did NOT vote for nor support. But the #PerfectPeople will reign… but only here on Earth. 




Is America too far gone‽

USA-TWN-PRC

USA-TWN-PRC


So the US and UK with a few other nations have been conducting a massive show of force in the South China Sea… Why?  It’s because Taiwan being the rebel wanna be independent state that it is, depends on these other nations to keep China in check.  Taiwan by itself cannot be sovereign and has depended on billion$ over the past 70 years from US to maintain their facade. 


But… let’s look at some reality in the actual threat of a PRC takeover of Taiwan. Any physical takeover in practical terms would require a massive air campaign to allow for troop movement to occupy the rogue province.  Both the PRC and Taiwan know that an amphibious ground invasion would be a disaster.  That’s why the Allied Naval forces are literally invading the South China Sea… to project power in Asia.  The Chinese have become more influential in Asia and Africa in the past decade because of economic reasons more than as a military threat. But the Allies keep on prodding and pushing and bullying.  


So now the Chinese are rapidly advancing their military to answer for massive gatherings of hostile forces at their borders.  For those that follow such topics… it’s a well known fact that the PRC has made amazing advances over the past 20 years.  Do these advances also come at the cost of Americans tax dollars like the CV19 issue? It’s highly likely that these advances are because of the PRC college kids that came over here to study sciences… but let’s also not forget that the big ‘American’ defense and aviation sectors rely heavily upon China and even are helping them build new technology.  


Below are a few links I looked up after writing the above rant… I think they sum this up nicely. The US influence in Asia is rapidly diminishing and even now the South Koreans are talking nice with The PRC.  This comes as Biden says he’s drawing down the US nuclear Arsenal while China is adding another 250-300 silos for nuke delivery systems and flying a hypersonic drone around the globe. 


Meanwhile Biden is off prancing around in Europe… and where’s Kamala? Certainly not at the Border PLP or in DC doing her damn job. Tiddlywinks Anyone?

“Taiwan is so small, he said, and what the PLA is really fixated on are the many fleets deployed by other countries in the South China Sea.

South Korea is concerned that the Biden Administration won’t defend the Korean Peninsula against PRC aggression… so they’re restarting Unification talks. “With its nuclear posture review under way, the Biden team has reportedly been considering a "no-first-use" declaration, which would rule out the possibility of the U.S. launching a preemptive nuclear strike seen as a formidable deterrent against potential adversaries.” Source: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20211101010300320

11100010 10000000 10111101

11100010 10000000 10111101

Randomly Catching Up… Sort Of.

 

Being almost completely cut off from social media for two months now has been interesting. There’s no immediacy in the news and opinions of the corporate-media’s choosing.  It’s also proven to demonstrate how electronic communications and interactions have taken over the lives of virtually everyone… pun intended.  I do get to read the news when I choose to do so… but the news outlets that serve Southwestern Alaska are severely lacking.  The prevalence of fbook, twitter and Instagram in communications has pretty much replaced print and radio media.  Yes the local NPR station does some local news and such, but they are small and limited because of over a dozen years of deficit spending by the SoA. 

So… in those forays onto ‘news’ sites during the past couple of weeks and hearing through the national press that Biden is as expected doing the same ole’ same ole’ that all the past dozen POTUS’s have done as he sets up his administration. I’m just sitting over here waiting for We the People to wake up to the fact that the ‘political’ system that CONTROL our governments has FAILED. So what that every 4-8 years the power structure amongst the supposed elected representatives fades from red to blue and back again when the only color that really matters to them is GREEN. 

 

Who can stand up and actually say that the last two presidents and several shifts of Congress really made the daily lives of Americans any better as a whole?  Currently in the USA… We the People are living like the Soviet people did as they slaved and toiled away to feed a corrupted government and war machine. We have to ask permission to travel and are required to participate in medical procedures to do so. People are told to stay home unless the government deems them necessary.  Government is being conducted behind closed doors as We are ignored by our representatives. These conditions exist because We the People have allowed this to happen.  

Moving on… I guess that We should be thankful to the powers that be because they’ve developed a vaccine for this virus that has us all hunkered down and avoiding being people.  Yes, the Gov’t says that vaccinated people should still follow the masking and isolation orders and/or advisements. They keep moving the goalposts folks. 11100010 10000000 10111101

Happy Birthday

 In today's news comes this article from the South China Morning Post that says the US has flown a couple of B1B Lancer Bombers not China's airspace.

I Can't Say

 I was asked by a member of the press my opinion of today’s message from the Governor of Alaska. I replied:

“There’s nothing new about it other than the language used to urge citizens to be vigilant… how this is interpreted at the local level will be interesting.”

The next question:

“My question is how do you think the CoD will exploit his message?”

My reply:

“I can’t say.”

 

Here’s what Governor Dunleavy said with a link to the video:

 

“My job as governor is not to tell you how to live your life. My job is to ensure the security and safety of Alaska. I can’t do that without your help,” said Governor Dunleavy in his video address. “I’m asking you to reach deep for the next three weeks. If we can buy time for our critical workers – if we can keep our systems operational – we can avoid being forced to take further action. But if we cannot reduce the spread of this virus, we reduce our future options for how to proceed. No matter what you believe about the virus, the facts are the facts. Hospitalizations and sick healthcare workers are reaching untenable levels. We must act together now while we still have choices.”

 

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwQUnIAjthk&feature=youtu.be

 

 Summation: Things are not going to get any better any time soon…

 

Is it coincidence that the meeting is on 11/21… Agenda 21?

Hahaha…

Yes folks it really does exist: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/outcomedocuments/agenda21

What If...

 Yay… 

 

    It’s Monday again and thankfully the news cycle is a bit tamer than it was last Monday.  Somethings have transpired that have thrown some people off and even pissed quite a few others off, but that’s how life throws things at Us and we have to do the proverbial ‘roll with the punches’.  So, if your POUS candidate didn’t come out ahead and is a soon to be footnote in American history, join the club.  I haven’t voted for a mainstream corporate party candidate in years knowing that the odds were slim to none of being satisfied with the outcome.

 

    Now it’s time for Americans to look towards trying to figure out our way up out of the mess that the whole Covid-19/Corona virus issue has become.  Despite the incredibly low mortality rate of CV-19 infections, the governments still operate as if it is the greatest threat to our nation since al-Qaeda supposedly led the attack on the US in 2001 that kicked off the last 20 years of the ‘War of Terrorism’ that has led to trillions being expended to bomb and subjugate huge swaths of the Middle East and Africa. Yes Covid-19 is real and people have gotten sick and died from it, but it’s not the overwhelming threat that has been claimed.  I do feel for those that have suffered from it and for those that have lost loved ones and family to it.  I pray that God shows his mercy upon them.

 

But moving on to more pressing matters at hand… the recovery of the republic.

 

    Over the past year or so, We have seen a wide variety of political shenanigans leading up to the Biden/Harris victory and the divisions between We The People widened.  Most of this growth in the dividing of the people was fueled by the ever-present overtones of corporate political parties and media entities that are out for one thing and one thing only; filling their bank accounts with our money and resources to further their own wealth and power.  The people of America and the states of the Republic have been duped time and time again into voting for those power-hungry personalities that want to do nothing but forward their own agendas at the cost of liberty and security of the people.  

    When I went to check my business email on Saturday, I did see a ‘headline’ that asked something like: “What happens if a President Elect dies before assuming office.”  It was originally a piece from WaPo that was published in May 2020 and then updated and published in August 2020 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/05/16/what-happens-if-us-presidential-candidate-withdraws-or-dies-before-election-is-over-part-1/) .  And here’s the Yahoo! Search results of that question: https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=what+happens+if+joe+biden+dies+before+election&fr=yfp-t-s&ei=UTF-8&fp=1


    Now that would surely be a mess to behold and I have little doubt that the far-left would do everything possible to make sure that Kamala Harris would become the nominee… despite the fact that she is as ingrained in the corporate political debauchery as most DCers. Please pray that God is with Us all and that is will prevails as America moves forward.

DLG Ordinance 2020-22 Vote Results

 Dillingham Ordinance 2020-22(S) Adoption Vote...

Curt-Yes, Aksel -Yes, Chris-Yes,

Andy-Yes, Greg-Yes, Bill-Yes

Dillingham Emergency Order #1

Last evening the City of Dillingham posted a 64 page supplement to the council packet for this evening's Council Meeting.  This is in addition to the 100+ pages they posted on Monday.  That posting of the packet on Monday did have some  of the more contentious items in Ordinance 2020-22 struck, but some of that is added right back in but worded differently.


"EMERGENCY ORDER #1 ESTABLISHING THE BASELINE CITY STANCE IN THE

TRANSITION FROM EMERGENCY ORDINANCES FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO EMERGENCY ORDERS FROM THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTINUE PRESERVE THE HEALTH OF ALL CITIZENS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Emergency Order #1 - Effective at 11:59pm on November 5th,2020."


I suggest that people take the time to scroll through this yet another version of the City of Dillingham's Covid-19 plan.

Beating A Deadhorse?

Just reading the title of this permanent ordinance naming an ‘emergency’ says a lot about the calamity Dillingham Ordinance 2020-22 actually is. 

“PUBLIC HEARINGS 

a. Ordinance 2020-22(S); An Ordinance of the Dillingham City Council Authorizing the City Manager to Utilize the Emergency Operations Center to Promulgate and Enforce Regulations to Stop the Spread of COVID-19 in Accordance with the Recommendations in the City of Dillingham COVID-19 Mitigation Plan 

  1. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS 
    1. Adopt Ordinance No. 2020-22(S); An Ordinance of the Dillingham City Council Authorizing the City Manager to Utilize the Emergency Operations Center to Promulgate and Enforce Regulations to Stop the Spread of COVID-19 in Accordance with the Recommendations in the City of Dillingham COVID-19 Mitigation Plan ...................................................page 49 
    2. Introduce Ordinance No. 2020-23; An Ordinance of the Dillingham City Council Amending the Effective Date of Ordinance 2020-02 ............................................................... page 55”

This idea must be postponed for much further public discussion.  Making permanent the ‘emergency’ of Covid/Corona/CV-19 and the ambiguous ever-changing mitigation plan/policy is a far-over-reaching act.  It pretty much puts a perpetual infringement upon the people’s personal rights and their property. The Alaska Constitution says:

Preamble 

We the people of Alaska, grateful to God and to those who founded our nation and pioneered this great land, in order to secure and transmit to succeeding generations our heritage of political, civil, and religious liberty within the Union of States, do ordain and establish this constitution for the State of Alaska.

Article I – Declaration of Rights

§ 1. Inherent Rights

This constitution is dedicated to the principles that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the rewards of their own industry; that all persons are equal and entitled to equal rights, opportunities, and protection under the law; and that all persons have corresponding obligations to the people and to the State

Will They Let Us Speak?

 Madam Mayor and City Council Members,


I want to thank the City Council for removing some of the more contentious points that were contained in Ordinance 2020-22.  However, I also want to point out that the people of Dillingham are due a truly public and open forum to discuss moving forward with how to prepare our community for future emergency situations.  The current method of having limited access to our elected government presents too many challenges to accurately and fully hearing the voices of the constituents. 

 

Over the past several months of listening in to these telephonic meetings that can prove to be quite challenging has clearly shown that doing the business of We the People over telephone and internet connections is lacking.  On numerous occasions I have missed comments and points made by fellow citizens, government employees and our elected representatives.  I can absolutely guarantee that I am not the only person that feels like we are being shortchanged by the current meeting methods. 

Over the past 3 weeks the Council has received letters asking that Ordinance 2020-22 be tabled/halted until a public forum can occur.  By including this modified version of the ordinance for adoption in the upcoming meeting, it’s clearly showing that the Council would rather limit public participation in Our government rather than meet with the people to hear them out.  I would like to encourage all Council members to reject the adoption of Ordinance 2020-22 and to stop changing the already existing ‘emergency’ ordinance as well.  The mitigation efforts already being ‘enforced’ in Dillingham are in-line with the State and Federal guidelines and do not need to be expanded or modified in any way. 

 

Thank You all for your volunteer service for Our community and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon.  We mustn’t tarry when dealing with timely issues and the will of the people is the most important facet of effective elected governance. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Jon Corbett
