Poetic Positives of the Pandemic to Defeat the CCP

The CCP, in addition to their hundreds of cyber attacks and influence operations bribing Western academics, businessmen, Hollywood, Wall Street, politicians, and others...was going to go kinetic recently. They had planned a 3-pronged attack. The CCP had Laos and Cambodia lined up to attack Vietnam. They planned to unleash North Korea on South Korea.  And with that chaos established, they planned to attack Taiwan.
Fortunately, we got the 7th fleet to the South China sea fast enough that the CCP backed off.
The biggest mistake the CCP makes in its war analysis and plans is that the private sector (see, for example, https://www.anduril.com/) runs the United States, not the politicians in their employ.
Tojo made that mistake in 1941.
He learned the truth of that statement by 1945.

Xi issued an order that the CCP must warehouse food to prevent starvation among the Chinese people. 
He knows, as any Chinese dictator must, that he will be toppled if enough Chinese people starve. 
This has been true for 10,000 years of Chinese history. The only way that starvation did not begin recently was that the United States of America was kind enough to send the food stuffs to the CCP.
But we can turn that supply line off at any time.
The CCP has the technology, strategies, plans, military hardware, software, date centers, organizations, cultural and political warfare capabilities, etc...
But we have the food.
Trust me, we have the food.
We have the most productive farmland in the world, as your spies in America no doubt have informed you.
We have the food and we will use it as a weapon if we have to.
You have the rare earth elements.
Granted.
But rare earth elements do not feed a hungry CCP members belly.
Remember that Xi.

Civil Defense is critical for a successful generational fight against the CCP. For a good podcast and brief on the history of civil defense in the United States and especially children, listen to Civil Defense Radio here.

Our Grandchildren's American Future

My grandchildren will grow up in an America that is better than the one my ancestors and parents left me. 
About 320 million out of 360 Americans believe that American truth. 
It is time we let the 40 million Americans who just kowtowed to the Communist Chinese Party know that we will not submit as they have to the rule of the CCP.

My MIA Uncle 1st Lieutenant Frank J. Curley did not sacrifice his young 21 year-old life in a B-24 fireball to a Pacific Ocean grave off HaHa Jima to defeat the Imperial Japanese military, nor did millions of other patriotic Americans die or suffer mental and physical scars from wars to protect my freedoms just to now kowtow to the CCP.
American warriors know the sacrifices in blood and lives given to create the American Republic.
They are willing to make the same sacrifice to make sure we continue as a free people who determine our own future without foreign interference.

How We Defeat the CCP

The CCP needs to know we grow the food and we will use it as a weapon to preserve our God-given inalienable right to all the freedoms written in the words of our Constitution and Bill of Rights by our Founding Fathers.
As the CCP members are not Christians, they have no idea how resolute, courageous, creative, innovative, strong and fierce Christians can be when attacked.
For reference, I suggest they research Brian Boro and Richard the Lion Heart.
I know the CCP thinks it just took over the United States of America because they stole the 2020 American Presidential Election and attacked us with the Covid-19 biological weapon.
But they are as foolish as the Imperial Japanese when they attacked Pearl Harbor.
And the CCP "victory" will be as pyric.
The American public is waking up to what was just done: a minority globally with their allies in the United States more interested in wealth than obeying God just sold out their birthright for a few pieces of silver.
Like Judas, it will not end well for them.

Prayer to St. Joseph to Help us Work Hard to Defeat the CCP

But first, in obedience to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I offer this ancient Christian prayer for the repose of the Souls who were killed by the Communist Chinese Party (CCP) in their Covid-19 biological weapon attack on the entire world.
"Oh Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever resent in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, have mercy on the sols of they departed servants.
Be not severe in Thy Judgment but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames and do thou O merciful Savior send They angels to conduct They departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and Peace. Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed through he mercy of God, rest in Peace. Amen."
Now.
I am under no illusion as to how hard it will be to fight the current victories of the CCP and their American and worldwide globalist allies.
But as after the 1941 Imperial Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, this sneak CCP Covid-19 attack will eventually be defeated. But it will take hard, hard work on the part of the American people.
The CCP and globalists have made the mistaken calculation that Americans are fat, dumb, lazy and easily distracted with drugs, pornography, material comforts, cheap goods, and therefore can easily be taken down.
And they are right that this is the condition of many Americans.
But it is not the majority.
And the majority will fight back and win.

Again, to begin, let we who are fighting say a prayer to the Father of Christ, Saint Joseph.
"Glorious St. Joseph, patron of all who are devoted to toil, obtain for me the grace to toil in the spirit of penance, in order thereby to atone for my many sins; to toil conscientiously, putting devotion to duty before my own inclinations; to labor with thankfulness and joy, deeming it an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts I have received from Almighty God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever shrinking from weakness and difficulties; to work above all with a pure intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting which I must then render of time ill sent, of talents unemployed, of good undone and of my empty ride in success, which is so fatal t the work of God.
All for Jesus, all through Mary, all in imitation of Thee, O Patriarch Joseph! This shall be my motto in life and in death.
Amen."

How the US will Defeat the CCP

Despite the current high tech obsession, real wealth is created two ways: via farming and mining.
The United States of America has far more farms, quarries and mines than the CCP...and they are more productive due to American productivity, creativity and grit.
The CCP long-range plan has the United States, Canada and Australia feeding their massive population.
They think they have this supply chain lined up due to their bribes to American politicians, academics, businesses, athletes, entertainers, media, and Hollywood moguls.
But they are mistaken.
Like millions of other Americans during the pandemic, I have moved from the corrupt CCPDNCCNN cities, suburb's and exurbs to a rural area.
The pandemic proved that we no longer need to live in those areas to live well, that a much higher quality of life could be enjoyed in rural America.
And there is a huge geographic rural area in America to be developed and to create a new American civilization.
It is happening everyday. A parallel American civilization is rising.
Where I live, I see hundreds of trucks from a nearby quarry drive by daily delivering the material that is building the new America.
As well, I see unbelievably productive, hard working, Christian farmers growing the nutritious food that feeds not just Americans but the world, including the Chinese people.
We can sell that food to the Chinese, but we do not have to.
It is our choice.
As the CCP has already shown that it will remove live organs from political prisoners, unleash a bioweapon on the people of the world, and will stop at nothing including bribing American politicians, academics, media, athletes, and businessmen to conquer the world, we know their game plan.
Yes, the own the Panama Canal and the majority of big shipping ports in the world.
Yes, they have an impressive manufacturing base, financial system, et.
But they are built on corruption and brides.
And we will defeat them.

How the Positives of the Pandemic will help us Defeat the CCP's Plans

In manmade and natural disasters, things become crystal clear.
When your very survival is in question, you tend to focus.
The Red Chinese flu did that for Americans.
The massive outmigration from the cities to the rural areas is not just due to the chaos, celebration of deviants, crime, high taxes and CCP-created decline of American cities, although that is a factor.
It is also due to the fact that those who have served this nation want their families to be safe.
So they are taking measures NOW to assure that safety.
They read truthful sources on China, like
and so many others, and do not follow the lies of the legacy corporate media that are controlled by the CCP.
Xi is lording over an empire that is about to fall apart as ALL commie dictatorships fall apart.
Just ask the Russians.
He is whining like a spoiled child, claiming power he does not have, and has handled the Covid-19 bioweapon horribly.
He released a bio weapon on his own people, then deviously released it on the world, had his overseas buyers purchase all the available personal protective equipment (PPE), and then sent his bioagents -- live Red Chinese workers -- all over the  world to infect the world's population.
Sadly, the majority of the Chinese people believe the CCP lie that the Rona came from the United States, and not the Wuhan Lab.
Now, they are partially right.
The liar Fauchhhhiiii used a subcontractor to illegally funnel blood money to the CCP as they would conduct internationally outlawed bioweapon research for the CDC.
Unbelievable.
Fauchhhhiiii is the ultimate "White Monkey" being used by the CCP to spread their power, influence, and false story to American's and the world.
It is immoral...but that was never Fauchhhhiiii's strong point.
And he is not alone.
The legacy corporate media, Hollywood moguls, Wall Street financial titans, the National Basketball Association (NBA) and especially LaBron James, the Democratic Party leadership, BLMANTIFACIAFBIDOJPENTAGONETC, Twitter, YouTube, the intel agencies...all pushed the false narrative.
They ALMOST took down our nation by stealing our 2020 national election, pushing critical race theory, transgenderism, and other perversions to our children, and through a thousand other knife cuts.
But the Vets and Christians held.
And the Alphabet agencies have made clear in published reports they intend to go after Vets and Christians to aid their allies in the CCP to rule the American people, and the world's people.
Along with millions of other Vets, I did volunteer civil defense work.
We blocked them.
Because they have information dominance, their nefarious plan has been defeated, but this is not evident.
Like Satan when cast out of Heaven, they still have some power and are casting about for more victims, but in the larger and supernatural world they have been defeated.

How the Vets Plan to Save the American Republic from These Threats

To get an idea of what we plan, read Eddie Gallagher's newly released book: The Man in the Arena: From Fighting ISIS to Fighting for My Freedom.
Like Eddie, like many Vets, I am an American Irish Catholic, Baptized and Confirmed, and devout in my Faith in the Blessed Trinity.
We follow Christ and that is all we need to win.
We have Invisible Weapons...Sacraments...that give us the edge.
We will save this Republic as we have saved Christendom for 2,000 years.
We are not going away.
For reference, here is the prayer of St. Patrick.

St. Patrick’s Prayer

 May you arise each day
Through a might strength
The invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the three-ness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

May you arise each day
Through the strength of heaven –
Light of sun. Radiance of moon.
Splendor of fie, Speed of lighting,
Swiftness of wind, Depth of sea,
Stability of earth, Firmness of rock.

May you arise each day
Through God’s strength to pilot you,
God’s hand to guard you,
God’s shield to protect you,
God’s host to save you,
From snare of devils,
From temptations of vices,
From all who shall wish you ill,
Afar and near,
Alone and in multitude.

Christ to shield you this day
So that there come to you
Abundance of reward
Christ with you, Christ before you,
Christ behind you, Christ in you,
Christ beneath you, Christ above you,
Christ when you lie down,
Christ when you sit
Christ when you arise,

Christ in the heart of every
Person who thinks of you.
Christ in the mouth of everyone
Who speaks of you,
Christ in every eye that sees you,

Christ in every ear that hears you.

CBRNe Low Probability High Impact

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter."
George Washington

Most of us don’t need to or like to think about chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive events, yet they happen every day, somewhere.   
We don’t think about them because there is a very low probability that they will happen...but they do. And when they do, unfortunately, they are very high impact. Think 9/11, the Boston Marathon, and the Ebola outbreak as just a few recent examples.
Fortunately, there are experts and private companies meeting the challenge of identifying such events BEFORE they happen. 
I had the privilege of meeting a number of the experts who are creating the adaptive systems, innovative technologies, comprehensive training, detection platforms, testing assays, systems and protocols, and training classes to combat CBRNe catastrophic impacts.
I met these experts at the Nonconventional Threat, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (NCT CBRNe) conference (http://www.cbrneusa.com/) was held from April 29 to May 1 in Fairfax, Virginia. It was sponsored by ib-consultancy (www.ib-consultancy.com) based in the Netherlands. Their mission as stated in their brochure Welcome says it well:
 “The United States of America continues to take a leading role when it comes to counte3ring global threats which are as nuanced as rogue regimes, terrorist threats, but also infectious diseases . . . The U.S. Armed Forces are playing a significant role in this asymmetrical combat...terrorist organizations, such as the Islamic State, are growing in numbers and are increasingly exerting their negative influence on international stability and security. Preventing these organizations from obtaining or using WMDs is vital...”
“NCT CRBNe USA aims to be exactly that, a useful platform for experts, facilitating such coordination to effectively face the menaces of CBRN threats.  An Innovation Stream will run in parallel with the Conference Stream, exploring novel solutions to non-conventional challenges. A wide spectrum of topics, ranging from CBRNe capabilities in Myanmar to the Medical Preparedness and Consequence Management, ensures an all-encompassing business, networking and informative experience.”
My role at the conferees was to give a talk about “ISIS Use of Social Media as a Force Multiple” (see the TACDA Journal Issue 1, 2015) during one of the Innovation Stream sessions. I’m happy to report of that those who attended, from a U.S. Army general to a fire company battalion chief, they got my main point that the jihadi’s will use social media to create even more death and chaos when they use it in tandem with conventional guns and explosives when they strike.
Read the other Innovation Stream talks below that took place for the three days of the conference to begin to understand the complexity and enormity of CBRNe:
Day 1
·        Dealing with the conseque4nces of a collapse in economic activity and law and order after a viral pandemic
·        Introduced species as a form of biological weapons
·        Are we prepared for the next infectious disease
Day 2
·        Organizing and training for Combat CBRNE hazards
·        CRISMA project improving CBRN training using models
·        Enhancing CBRNe response with scenario-based training
·        The threat of agroterrosim and zoonotic diseases in the U.S
·        Unmanned aerial vehicles in maritime security
·Day 3
·        Entolimod, an innovative medical radiation countermeasure
·        A novel device for preventing acute radiation syndrome in emergency first responders
·        Threats and realities of synthetic biology
·        Differential excitation spectroscopy: A new high-specificity technique for threat detection
·        Rapid detection of processed uranium in food
·        Countering nuclear and radiological materials illicit trafficking through maritime security initiatives: paper tiger or concrete solution
·        Mass casualty terrorism and CBRN weapons
·        United against a common enemy: formation of international alliances for the war on terrorism and the WMB dimension
·        Determination of an ideal category A agent for a terrorist attack
If you want to see the Innovation Stream papers about these topics, go to: http://www.cbrneportal.com/tag/nct-cbrne-usa-2015/. My paper about ISIS using social media as a force multiplier can be found at: http://www.cbrneportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Curley-NCT-CBRNe-USA-2015.pdf
There were so many CBRNe experts delivering so many talks, and so many vendors creating and delivering products for this area, I cannot possibly cover it in this brief piece. So, I am going to highlight some of the resources I believe are most useful to TACDA members below. Then, I will provide as many links to resources in Table 1 CBRNe Detection and Mitigation Resources at the end of this article so you can look up those that may be useful to you.
Airborne Spectral Photometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT), EPA CBRN Consequence Management Team, Contact Mark Thomas, Program Manager, 513 675 4753, Thomas.markj@epa.gov; John Cardarelli (Radiation POC Contact, 513 675 4745, Cardarelli.john@epa.gov; ASPECT 24 Hour Number 202 564 8602/EPA EOC 202 564 3850
ASPECT is the country’s only airborne 24/7 stand-off chemical and radiological detection, infrared and photographic imagery platform. This plane is a platform rigged with highly sensitive instruments to measure neutrons, gamma rays, chemicals and other indications of a CBRNe event.
Here’s the miraculous part.
This detection platform, with its radiation exposure contour maps, high resolution , geo and digital aerial images, is available to first responders and others on a moment’s notice. Emergency responders in most towns, counties and cities just do not have this capability. Infrared and photographed images with geospatial chemical and radiological information can be provided, according to ASPECT, “...to the customer within minutes to hours.” 
The ASPECT detection platform includes:
·        An infrared Line Scanner to image chemical plumes
·        A High-Speed Infrared Spectrometer to identify and quantity the composition of the chemical plume in the ppb to pm range
·        Gamma-Ray Spectrometer for radiation detection and isotope identification
·        Neutron Detection System for enhances radiological detection
·        High resolution digital cameras (aerial and  oblique) that rectify for inclusion into GIS
·        Broadband satellite data system (SatCom)
They have contractor pilots on continuous standby and respond immediately to any call. I saw them do a live demonstration at NCT CBRNE 2015. The EPA physicists called the pilots live as they flew over a prepositioned radiological event.  The pilots spoke and conveyed live digital images from a base camp to the IR plume and created a radiological map on the screen in near-real time.
ASPECT is a national CBRNe detection technology wonder that can is proven (150 deployments) and offers emergency managers a power life-saving tool. Keep this information for when you need it. Or better yet, call them and get them to explain it in greater detail than I can here.
Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC)
104 Union Valley Road, Oak Ridge, TN 37830, 865 535 0088, inquiries@hdiac.org, http://hdiac.org, info@hdiac.org
HDIAC provides information and collaboration for Homeland Defense and Security, and it establishes provides, and maintains extensive Scientific and Technical Information (STI) from DoD organizations, federal, state, and local governments, in the following areas:
·        Homeland Defense and Security
·        Critical Infrastructure Protection
·        Weapons of Mass Destruction
·        CBRN Defense
·        Biometrics
·        Medical
HDIAC saves DoD scientists time and effort by quickly locating information and providing support to address critical, emerging needs. It supports short-term queries (quick technical questions) and longer term studies (impact of a new chemical release). They apply operational research to the warfighter. Customers include: federal agencies and contractors, state and local government, emergency workers, first responders, academia, private industry.
While the Innovation Stream was going on, there was a simultaneous Conference Stream. Here are the topics that were covered during that simultaneous stream:
Day 1
·        Measures introduced to help mitigate the risk of nuclear terrorism
·        Capability development for CBRNe at the Defense Reduction Threat Agency
·        CBRN Response capabilities and preparedness at EPA: Current state and the way forward
Day 2
·        JUPITR biosurveillance program in Kora
·        Integrated multiplex assay and sampling system
·        Nuclear smuggling detection and deterrence
·        The integrated chemical safety and security program in Ukraine: An introduction
·        DIY biotechnology risks and opportunities for enhance biosafety
·        Enhancing CBRN emergency preparedness in the USAAA New York City as a case
Day 3
·        Planning for the unthinkable: Medical countermeasure planning for the response to CBRNe incidents
·        The role of public health laboratories in CBRN crisis management
·        Medical preparedness for large scale public health emergencies in Florida: The cities readiness initiative
·        Live demonstration led by EPA
·        Bioforensics and its role to enhance bioterrorism preparedness
·        State of the art CBRN detection solutions: the approach made in Germany
·        Rapid respond to radiological terrorist incidents
·        WMD hazmat response SOPs and capabilities at the USCG National Strike Force
·        The dirty bomb scenario: How real is the threat
·        Stockpiling of medical countermeasures and radiological public health emergencies
·        DHS activities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recovery from CBRN terrorism
If you visit the websites listed above you can see videos of these Conference Stream talks by the leading experts in these fields.
CBRNe is a huge, complex, multi-layered, and ever changing field of study, work, process, policy and...never forget...human lives and property. In the 1980’s when I wrote for Hazard Monthly about such topics, all the issues we face today existed then as well. Despite irrational and wishful thinking that they just go away, they are real, they are here, and they must be managed if we and our offspring are to have a positive future.
I pray that the information provided here, be you just beginning to learn about it or are an expert in the field, helps you to better manage your CBRNe challenges successfully.

Children and Civil Defense: My TACDA Journal of Civil Defense Article

My latest article Social Media for when disaster strikes has just been published in the Journal of Civil Defense, Volume 55, 2021 Issue 1 of the American Civil Defense Association for which I am the volunteer Vice President

On page 18 you can read my article "Children and Civil Defense." It has much information and resources to teach children important civil defense skills. 

All are of use to you as a parent or grandparent. 

Do not be the leader of your family who, when your children and grandchildren ask you what to do during a disaster, you go blank. 

Know what to do before the event.

Do it now.
