Jeff, the US drone would have been fitted with IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponders to parse out incoming home team aircraft from hostiles, precisely so that the air defences don't have to be 'switched off'.

Their explanation is what we in England would call 'a load of bollocks'.

Another Pentagon driven "false flag" event to stage the "explanation", create "blame", present a "single solution" and proceed to WWIII.

Strange to see all the "mentioned OTHER" targets:

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it was responsible for the attack in a statement posted to Telegram on Sunday. It said it targeted three US bases in Syria and Jordan - Shaddadi, Rukban and Tanf - as well as an Israeli oil facility in the Mediterranean.

Lots to process there, and none of it good, but I presume Iran will get "twisted" into some form of involvement.

There's quite a few people who question the drone narrative, given the extensive use of drones in the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, and the numerous videos of the blast effect area (generally small) compared to what is purported to be the level of damage at the base.

So was it really a drone?

Just askin'

Expand full comment

Who knows? All I do know is that in any kind of FOB you don't switch off automatic air defences if you have them because you're worried it will shoot down your own aircraft.

If someone can hack an F35, I'm sure they can hack air defence systems and drones. Maybe that's it?

I served 8 years in the army reserves. In order to serve over seas you would have be activated, which means serving in an active duty capacity. I am pretty sure only the President can activate reservists. I think he can do so for any reason he sees fit but only for 365 days. There should be a lot more readily available information about why they were there especially if they were reservists.

This is from an Army Times article. And if you are not familiar with Ft. Benning [now called Ft. Moore where these 3 reservists were based] you should look it up.

"More than half of the total Army’s civil affairs, legal, psychological operations, chaplain, military history, quartermaster and medical units belong to the Army Reserve. Leaders, including Daniels, often claim to lawmakers that the force’s units provide the active-duty Army with critical capabilities at a fraction of the cost to maintain them full-time."

I’ve heard that a sizable chunk of US military equipment that was originally donated to Ukraine has ended up on the black market, especially in Africa and the Middle East. If this was originally a US/Ukrainian drone, the IFF would read as a “friend,” correct?

The drone that blew up followed ours home.

Expand full comment

Do you think that the US military (or any modern western military) has air control and air defence systems that can be thwarted by 'following a drone home'?

Expand full comment

Yes, because that was the early reportage of the incident.

Why can Russia's S-300 and S-400 see all of our stealth planes?

Expand full comment

Well, you're wrong (about that) and they were lying.

As to why Russia AA can 'see' stealth aircraft, who knows? Can they? I don't know.

But that's a different issue altogether from the Army claiming a drone followed its own drone home and that's why they didn't see it or shoot it down.

Expand full comment

You are misattributing everything you say.

AA? They call it S-300 and S-400 and Turkey bought it instead of our Patriot because it can see everything we claim our stealth can hide.

I never said what the Army claimed because I don't follow their propaganda.

Drones don't have the surveillance and counter-measures our fighters do. They can't see behind themselves.

Expand full comment

AA = anti-aircraft. S300 and S-400 = AA.

I'm not sure what I'm 'misattributing' (though don't bother to enlighten me, I don't care).

I asked you: 'Do you think that the US military (or any modern western military) has air control and air defence systems that can be thwarted by 'following a drone home'?'

You said: 'Yes, because that was the early reportage of the incident.'

So someone reported that the drone in question followed another, friendly, drone home, which is why it was able to hit its target, and you believe that.

Presumably someone told that story (the story you say you believe) to the journalist who reported it, and presumably that was the Army (unless the journalist just made it up - which is possible).

Either way, you believe the Army, or a journalist, or both.

That's fine, nothing to do with me. All I did was ask you if you believed the bullshit story about enemy drones cuningly foiling sophisticated air defence systems in this way.

Expand full comment

Russia uses the lower RADAR frequencies for their missile defense systems because it can't be defeated by stealth technology, which relies on higher frequencies that lend them to high priced and exotic solutions to problems that provide profits to the MICIMATT complex manufacturers that create them.

I'm not quite so confident that the systems are so 100% foolproof that they could shoot down an unidentified aircraft while also not harming a "friendly" in the same airspace. Even if they theoretically have the capability, accidents can happen, so IMO it's highly plausible that the auto-firing system would have been switched off "to be on the safe side". I don't imagine anyone was thinking about the risk of someone sneaking a drone in at the same time (otherwise they would have prepared for it).

(Though it does raise the question of why human radar operators weren't watching or why they didn't notice the second drone when there was only supposed to be one. Even if the "auto-response features" were turned off it would still be possible to fire on it manually.)

Expand full comment

perhaps they could track and deduce that the friendly drone didn't have a baby while it was gone, it was bringing a new friend home for dinner and sleepover; SHOOT them BOTH down if need be for God's sakes!

Expand full comment

That is surely what they OUGHT to have done.

Expand full comment

Nothing is 100% foolproof but it’s also very good and doesn’t need to be manually watched to make sure the computers are doing it right.

Expand full comment

Perhaps it was a US drone we “accidentally” left in Afghanistan? So then the friend transponder was on?

Expand full comment

It's not like they make these drones with one factory setting and then they ship them. The IFF transponders need to be dialled in to locations and supporting equipment using codes which change on a regular basis.

And he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each city. And he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for Yahweh who is with you when you render judgment. So now then let the dread of Yahweh be upon you; be careful what you do, because with Yahweh our God there is no unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe. . . Be strong and act, and Yahweh be with the one who is good.”

From Life Application Study Bible

Ps 82:1

God judges human judges. The integrity of the justice system in a nation provides a clear indication of the health of society. As is the case with all leadership, judges derive their authority ultimately from God and will give an account to God for their verdicts. Believers are commanded to pray for “kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). This psalm reminds us to include judges of every kind in our prayers because we directly benefit from their integrity.

Consider reducing gluten in Toddler's diet. Gluten sensitivity manifests in many many ways, and none of them are good.

Unitl wheat and other glutenaceous grains are DE-engineered and returned to their historical natural design, gluten should be consumed with limits, if at all.

Expand full comment

If you want wheat, get organic Einkorn wheat, the ancient but lower yielding strain. The reason wheat and oats lead to gluten allergies is not that they are GMO (they are not,), but because of how they are harvested. The farmers literally drown them with Roundup , so the grains die and dries all at the same time, making for an easier harvest. It is the high levels of glysophate in the wheat your body accurately sees as a toxin , and also its carrier (wheat in this case) . This practice only started about a dozen years ago, no doubt at the recommnendation of Monsanto.

Anyone interested in bad effects from wheat and other grains might want to watch Rogan's #2060 podcast with Gary Brecka.

Please don't beat yourself up! I tried a number of dietary interventions when my son was dx'd with ADHD. And he had recurrent ear infections when he was a toddler too. But impossible to police. He ate banned foods at daycare, friends houses, even family gatherings. Super picky eater and it was a constant struggle to get him to eat healthy. But he is now 28, married, has a good job in manufacturing where he runs all over the plant all day and a super organized wife who also tries to keep him organized and eating healthier, with mixed results. You can't keep them in a bubble and have to pick your battles.

Oh, man, been there as a parent. Sometimes still there. We try and try and try, and sometimes it feels like nothing works. Or that we keep getting sabotaged.

God made you to be the mama your little one needs. ❤️ Yes, I am preaching that to myself too.

Did you see any change when she was doing reduced dairy? Because if you saw *some* change, then you could at least do what you can and see. Even if it isn’t perfect.

Another consideration is getting rid of all vegetable oils (soy, corn, safflower, sunflower, etc) and replacing w real butter, avocado oil, and real olive oil (my dr says buy Syrian or Palestinian olive oil from the international food store, as those countries don’t allow adulteration with veg oils). Veg oils are quite inflammatory and inhibit proper immune functioning while promoting inflammation.

A good oil-based vitamin D supplement to keep her immune system working well is also helpful. Kids need 1000-2000 units a day, which is more than the RDA of 400/day.

If you haven’t explored or heard of homeopathy, that may be one route to try. Joette Calabrese is one easy website to begin learning. Although she has a fairly rigid approach (very protocol based) whereas a lot of us who use homeopathy end up finding more individual approach a la Robin Murphy (a deceased homeopath) works better in the long run.

There are homeopathic meds for acute ear infections. Which one to use depends on what other symptoms are co-occurring. And there are homeopathic meds that can be used on a chronic basis to uproot the tendency to ear infections.

Use Yandex or other alternative search engine and type in “Joette Calabrese ear infections” or “homeopathy ear infections” to find articles. And read the “New to Homeopathy” section on JoetteCalabrese.com so you know what you are doing before you start using. Homeopathy is very safe when used intelligently, but it is quite different from conventional medicine, so you need to educate yourself first.

(My kiddo is currently sleeping off a headache, thanks to homeopathy. Had a headache unresponsive to other intervention, gave the homeopathy, and kiddo fell asleep. A good sign.)

I’ve tried twice responding to your original post and it won’t go. I’m old so not up on all this. Any how, guifenesen is an organic mucus thinner. I lived with ear infections constantly. My doc finally explained to me, I tend to have thick mucus. It plugs your eustacian tubes,causing pain, popping, and infections. Antibiotics clear the infection until the next one. Buy a bottle of store brand robitussin. No suffix letters just Tustin Walmart probably calls it walltussin. Not kidding. The generic is very inexpensive, and it has zero side effects. I’ve been living on it for forty years. And for a baby, you can use that liquid until they can take pills. The pills last for 12 hours. I think the liquid only lasts for four. Your doctor should concur. It’s not rocket science.

Our chiropractor adjusts ears, which empties the eustachian tubes that get filled with liquid and opens them, thus avoiding ear infections. My oldest had recurrent ear infections until we met our good doc--he hasn't had one in over 20 years. My youngest has never had one because of this technique.

I don't know the link, but you could search. I saw a video on YouTube where the chiropractor told how people can release ears themselves. I tried it. It was easy.

What has always worked for us is to put drops of copaiba and tea tree and frankensence essential oils in a little jar with olive oil. Put the lid on and run the jar under hot water until it warms the mixture. Then add drops into your child's ear and have them lie still on their side for 15 minutes before doing the other side.

You can repeat every few hours until all pain is gone.

Expand full comment

Not every chiropractic school is the same. Look for graduates from Palmer or Parker. Palmer has been the best for decades. Parker is "newer" and quite respectable.

Second thing to ask/look for is, do they use an activator? While it may not be needed for every visit, it's a useful tool that does what other types of manipulation can't do as well.

I have used colloidal silver on a cotton ball, held in place by a bandaid, to kill ear infections. Also homeopathic pellets, like Hylands, (you can get them at health food stores and some grocery stores like Sprouts) have always helped my kiddos get over ear infections quickly.

But then, to avoid them in future, I suggest you investigate gut health and start your child on cultured food, especially kefir. Check out Donna Schwenk’s website “culturedfoodlife.com” for more info. Read her quick article “Why I drink Kefir everyday’ and check out the “Lives Changed” articles for encouragement.

We’ve been sold a pack of lies about what food is good for us, based on marketing campaigns to sell refrigerators and big pharma’s need to keep us sick, among other things.

If you have support from your spouse (and that can be the challenging part!), the easiest way is to take all junk food out of the house and go on a keto diet, kids and all. We did this and it provided a reset for them. Tastes change and they start to want healthy food when it's all that's in the house. But was it a lot of work? Yeah, it was, but not nearly as bad as I had feared.

Maybe you can't do this right now. But take heart, life goes in season and cycles. When a better time comes, you'll have tools and knowledge ready to use because you are planning and thinking about this now.

Don’t give up! You are doing great! Just try to implement simple changes like adding more vegetables to a plate or adding a salad with meals. I noticed if we eat enough fruits we don’t crave sugar as much. A really inexpensive way to make your own dairy substitute for a kid is to blend a spoonful of either sunflower butter ( no oil, no sugar) or cashew or almond butter with water in a blender, add more or less depending how thick you want it. And it doesn’t have to be given often, can be given on occasion slowly eliminating dairy. Maybe when sending her somewhere just say she has dairy allergy so people don’t even give her any dairy and bring your own foods. But I feel like simple changes implemented incrementally over time can go a long way. I’ve been married for 14 years and I’m still struggling with my husband not to buy anything with high fructose corn syrup or cooking with those processed gmo oils. I don’t buy those things and try to buy heathy stuff and whole foods and he tries too, from time to time. He does get healthy/ healthier things but he also sometimes buys junk that I would never get in my life and kids eat it because it’s in the house and we get into argument about this. It’s a learning curve. The struggle is real but a small change is better than no change at all

I feel for you big time. It is so so hard. I try all the time to cook healthy meals and half the time my husband complains. He now has high cholesterol and needs to get off the junk…. but he still struggles to forgo chips, fries, deli sandwhiches. He at least has cut back on sugar.

You could try that with her. I limit sugar. My child only gets honest brand apple juice and seldom. Zero soda ever. And only water. Also only “one” sweet a day max but that has varying sugar.

Be aware that adding liquid when he can't drain might be a bad idea. Silver will take care of inflammation and infections but it is liquid.

Use silver hydrosol, not colloidal. It’s made by sovereign silver. colloidal has clumps and is not that good, hydrosol is a solution without any clumping it’s much more effective and completely safe

Look up the protocols for this before just putting liquid in the ear. I would honestly give colloidal silver orally, use garlic oil in the air as long as the ear drums are not perforated and take the little one to the chiropractor because if his neck is at all out of whack , with the inflammation going on inside the ear, the ear isn’t draining properly. If the ear drum is perforated, complete, there’s a completely different protocol. High-dose, vitamin C, to bowel intolerance, would be extremely helpful.

"Tales" is the right description. Pharma loves to push this kind of nonsense as silver is more effective than antibiotics and is safe.

Studies by Mawson, Thomas, and others, plus reports by doctors like the late Eisenstein on the thousands of patients in his practice, and numerous parent reports on their own children, all show that children who are vaccinated have very much higher rates of ear infections than those who aren’t.

Tried to get hubs a medical exemption from a forced injection in April of 2021. I had the literal results of his dads brain examination in my hands. His company, in their vast knowledge (Bering Sea fishing vessel) said that their doctors would not accept it and he must get jabbed or be fired. There was no one standing up to "them" at the time and there was no information out there to come at them legally. We suspect that there was a government incentive to have a 100% vaxxed crew. He was given 5 days notice to get jabbed or lose his job. He has been in this industry almost 30 years and is a professional with a wonderful reputation. We have worked hard to get him to where he was, both of us making so many sacrifices. And...to top it off, we cannot donate blood because we lived in the UK during the CJ disease outbreak in the late 80's. It is right there in the Red Cross donor paperwork (or at least it was before SHTF.) The following Substack is a work about his dad and the brain disease that killed him in 2005...it is the study of his brain donation that I tried to use to get Hubs the medical exemption for the termination injection.

My biological grandfather worked for American. He was working baggage when his supervisor noted he was quite intelligent and sent him off to "weather school", as my aunt put it, all paid for by American. He then worked as a weatherman for decades, observing and noting weather patterns that could impact planes, in the control tower in Dallas/Fort Worth and then O'Hare. He apparently was quite good at his job. So here was this white man of Irish decent being promoted because he worked hard, was smart, and was dedicated to the company that gave him a career. Wow, how times have changed at American.

I don't fly. Between TSA pawing through my stuff, naked body scanners, and the 'virus' nonsense, not to mention kids screaming, I was already done. Add in DIE hiring that apparently puts some unqualified people in positions they should not be and pilots dying from heart attacks, I. Will. Pass. They asked me if I wanted a "compliant" drivers license when I got it renewed. I said nope, you can't pay me a billion to get on a plane.

You can always opt out of the scanner. Just request opt out if they direct you to the scanner. You might wait a few minutes, but the option exists, even for overseas return-to-the-US flights.

Opting out results in a groping session by one of the TSA diversity hires, not sure what is more humiliating.

The pat-downs I've gotten have been, in my humble opinion, professionally done and minimally humiliating. If the backscatter machine shows anything slightly odd, you'll get a pat-down anyway. I choose to do them in plain sight in baggage screening, not in a private room, FWIW.

Thanks for the information. I think then, if I'm not wrong, I have to agree to a pat down, which I also will not do. I have no problems walking through a metal detector.

Wasn't it great back then! And me too when I was ten. We all went to Bermuda from New York. And so exciting to fly on a Boeing 707 and look out at puffy white clouds in a sea of cotton below. Everyone one was sharp looking, both passengers and flight crews. The stewardesses where stunning. Even a ten year old boy noticed that! And getting a ticket or getting on board was almost as easy as boarding a train. One felt totally free in one's movements. And today? I only see prison cell bars. Everywhere.

My great-grandfather had a carriage house out behind the great house. In it I saw some harnesses and such. But what really captivated my five or so year old imagination was the sight of a never before seen giant wooden sled, a carry-over no doubt from the 19th century ... and probably used as late as the first decade of the 20th. My grandmother for sure had the visceral emotion of it, but not me nor even my father who was born in 1920. That then is the difference between an artifact and the living substance of memory of the times into which we are born.

Before I was married, I somehow made it on "a list" and got pulled aside every time to get a bonus check (never my electronic data). You know how they say that once the airplane door is closed it won't be reopened. That's a lie. On one flight I was on, they had closed the doors and we were getting ready to pull away from the gate when they reopened the door. They called my name and I had to get my carry on and exit the plane to get my extra check. Here's the crazy part.... shortly after that flight I got married and changed my name. Since then they have never pulled me aside. Did they realize I wasn't a threat or is it that easy to hide from them????

I don't remember if Jeff has covered this, but the biggest problem with electric vehicles is the lithium batteries. If the vehicle is in a fender bender, or if the battery is even exposed to saltwater, the battery can catch fire (and how!) And there is no way to tell if a battery is compromised.

Now I would <think> with a $1 million electric bus replacing the batteries would be economical. BTW, my hometown, Lawrence, KS has a couple electric busses.

I would like studies reviewing the prescription medication 💊 that so many people are on these days including the kids! My dad was prescribed Ambien from his GP for sleep problems and it changed his brain in a matter of weeks.

Just a random thought here. I had a terrible stomach ache - the really bad, never had ache before. It would not go away. Went to ER that evening to ensure that I hadn't accidently swallowed a knife and fork - which is what it felt like. The ER did an MRI, found a blockage (thankfully, it wasn't a knife and fork) and promptly scheduled me for immediate surgery. Oops, the ER dr. said, we don't have anymore beds, we'll keep you in ER until one opens, then we will cut you open and make everything like new. Strangely (miraculously), after several hours of dozing off and on and with morphine having no effect on the pain, I woke up from a doze-off around 4 AM and the pain was gone! Dr. came in a few hours later, said, "hmmm, sometimes these things just fix themselves..." After ensuring that I could eat (by giving me breakfast, which was a glass of water brought from the bathroom by a nurse), they sent me home after being in the ER for around 10 hours. Total bill (this is the punchline) $30,816.76!

I love Jeff and appreciate his wisdom and his humor in C&C; I look for it as soon as I wake up every morning. I just need to comment on his reference to Creutzfeld Jakob disease (CJD) as “Mad Cow Disease”. If you’ve been in the situation of losing someone to this horrific, fatal disease that term is really painful. CJD has been found in humans and is called CJD, it’s been found in cows and is called Mad Cow Disease and it’s been found in deer and is called Chronic Wasting Disease. In 2002 I lost my 47 yr old husband to this terrible disease. It took months to diagnose until we went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN where they had seen 250 cases of it. It’s fatal; there is no treatment and it progresses very rapidly. My husband passed away exactly 2 months after we received the presumptive diagnosis. Prior to this my husband was the healthiest person we all knew, an avid skier and runner and had no history of any health problems and was on no medications of any kind. I know Jeff is very kind and a strong Christian and would never say anything purposely hurtful but that term “Mad Cow” is used by some people who haven’t really looked deeply into this rare disease and it’s not accurate to describe this prion disease in humans. I have seen numerous articles saying this disease is no longer 1 in a million as it was when my husband died but has increased substantially since the Covid vaccines were introduced. I pray none of you has to experience this first hand as me and my children did. May God bless and protect each of you as we’re living in such an evil time as this; stay strong, informed and keep fighting the good fight. And to Jeff, I am so thankful for your information every morning; I look for it as soon as I wake up! May God bless you for the wonderful work you’re doing!

We have no idea how he acquired it. We had never been to the UK, which they asked us. He wasn’t a hunter (which they asked us), although the same year my husband was diagnosed with CJD, there were 3 men who were deer hunters in WI who died of CJD. Deer hunting is common in WI and a lot of people eat deer meat (venison). I’m sure my husband ate venison at some point. But I would think then there would be many more deaths of CJD. I still wonder all the time what happened to cause it and all I can think of is possible environmental toxins. But God has our days numbered and as much as I still miss my husband I know where his eternal destination is and that we will be reunited again for eternity.

Once again, sincerest sympathy. We owned a deer processing place in MI for 10 years. Hubs and I built it from the ground up and, as he is in the commercial food industry, we built it well aware of sanitation and standards and it was far and above the other 'processors' around. And, we became aware that CWD was in the area in 2005 or so. Your husbands diagnosis from Mayo might have been the same with others who may have had symptoms yet never looked beyond their local GP and died without ever knowing why. Maybe. But, as you say, peace is with us and we will meet again on the other side. God is mighty. It does make you wonder about pre-destination...All the best to you my sister.♥

Just to toss this out there... I can now connect my flu vax when pregnant with my 37wk delivery date less than a week after the shot. I can connect my mom's flu shot being prior to her strange TIA like event that led to disabling brain surgery. Your husband was healthy and not doing pharma... but did he vax? Maybe not, and it was the deer. But maybe, there was a bad flu shot batch that year, too. I think we all need to be looking backward and being open to the idea of connecting shots with health events. unfortunately. Sorry for your loss, regardless, and please don't feel the need to respond if it doesn't resonate.

I’ve tried to think of every possibility; I don’t recall that we got flu vaccines regularly but I would need to go back and look at his health records. I’ve leaned more towards questioning our food and water supply. We lived in an area where the water for our village was from a well and our subdivision had previously been farmland. Also, our city has quite a few paper mills that back in the day poured waste products directly into a river that divided the city. It could’ve been the air. Water, air, ground contamination, food….who knows except God?

My Middle School Soc Studies teacher lost his wife to this decades ago; my wife's sister in law within past 10 years, sorry for the suffering and pain this evil caused your family and (many) others. Bless you and all who are so suddenly, cruelly, helplessly, and quickly impacted by this.
