This week on the Global Research News Hour we continue our discussion with the Federal candidates competing against each other to become the next representative of Winnipeg Centre in the April 28 election. We also hear from Michel Chossudovsky, head of the centre for Research on Globalization about the single question of how US Northern Command has already fundamentally extinguished our sovereignty in critical ways. And we finally hear from author and activist Yves Engler about the major Canadian foreign policy questions not getting enough attention in mainstream media.
Elena Danaan reveals how the release of exotic technologies long suppressed by the Deep State are being released through a process whereby these are claimed to be new inventions. This process is part of a disclosure plan developed jointly between the Galactic Federation of Worlds and the Earth Alliance delivered to the head of US Northern Command in January 2023, according to Danaan's chief Federation contact, Thor Han Eredyon. Danaan also explains the different types of craft that make up the mystery drone phenomenon, which despite Deep State efforts to confuse and distract the general public, is leading inexorably toward the public realizing many of the drones are, in fact, antigravity spacecraft belonging to extraterrestrial civilizations and the Earth Alliance. She further explains the real reasons why Elon Musk wants to bypass the Moon and go straight to Mars to set up manned colonies. Finally, Danaan gives an update on the discovery of abandoned transportation craft containing hundreds of millions of Gray-human hybrids and the failed Gray hybrid agenda, along with the creation of an advanced space station in orbit around Jupiter that is very similar in function to the station depicted in the popular Sci Fi show, Deep Space Nine.

America's political commentators, news channels, newspapers, and bloggers are obsessed with sending Donald Trump to prison. Meanwhile, the largest foreign flotilla to approach American shores patrolled the coast of Alaska last week. Nearly a dozen Russian and Chinese warships came dangerously close to the Aleutian Islands. The warships were shadowed by four U.S. naval destroyers and a P-8 Poseidon aircraft. A spokesman for the US Northern Command confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Russia and China carried out a combined naval patrol near Alaska. Russia's Defense Ministry in Moscow said the Russian and Chinese vessels had carried out drills that involved communication training, and helicopter landings and takeoffs from the decks of each other's ships. They also conducted a joint anti-submarine exercise in the Bering Sea where a mock target was destroyed. ABC News reported today that the Russian and Chinese ships are now moving away from Alaska.

Elena Danaan, a former professional French archeologist, discusses the March 2, 2023, announcement of a new chamber found in the Great Pyramid of Giza and what kinds of ancient artifacts might be found there. She explains that Dr. Zahi Hawass, the former leader of Egypt's antiquities department, has for decades been muzzled by Freemasons from revealing the true extent of the advanced technologies and artifacts discovered under the Giza complex. In a press conference on the new chamber, Hawass hinted at the fabulous artifacts that the chamber may lead. Danaan reflects on the significance of the new pyramid chamber announcement with what her extraterrestrial contacts told her about major rediscoveries of Earth's ancient history that are on the way in 2023 and how these would involve the pyramids. In this Exopolitics Today interview, Danaan also comments on a January 7, 2023, meeting at the Raven Rock Mountain Complex attended by Thor Han Eredyon, where he passed on a disclosure plan developed by the Galactic Federation of Worlds to General Glen VanHerck, head of NORAD and US Northern Command. She explained why the plan had to be delivered person-to-person and shared her analysis of its contents. Danaan asserts that recent events, such as the multiple UFO shootdowns in the US and Donald Trump's March 4 speech about flying cars, are part of the disclosure plan. She also discusses a February 8, 2023, update by the US Army insider JP, who revealed how his team was led by a 7 feet tall Nordic-looking individual named Jaseet, into an underground city and an extraterrestrial spaceport in Florida. JP identified a strong vanilla scent around these structures and plans for future flyovers of hundreds of flying saucer craft. Danaan says the vanilla scent is very likely associated with the national flower of the Errahel (aka Ahel) civilization from the planet Erra in the Taygeta system of the Pleiades constellation, and that the name Jaseet is a common Errahel name. Dr Michael Salla points out how the above developments and other events corroborate Danaan's remarkable revelations from her Galactic Federation of Worlds sources. For a full list of corroborating data for her revelations that has been compiled by Disclosure Project witness, Dan Willis, see: https://tinyurl.com/muabbam3 Finally, Elena Danaan discusses her upcoming March 19 webinar on Crowdcast.

The US military says the sensors from the first suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down over the US have been recovered from the Atlantic Ocean. US Northern Command says search crews found significant debris from the site, including all of the priority sensor and electronics pieces identified. The FBI is examining the items, which the US says were used to spy on sensitive military sites. US officials says the high-altitude balloon originated in China and was used for surveillance, but China said it was merely a weather-monitoring airship that had blown astray.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4090160/advertisement

Episode #45 of ‘The Teddy Brosevelt Show' was recorded on Saturday afternoon, February 11, 2023. Substack just added fantastic new analytics to the writer dashboard. Shout-out and THANK YOU to all the new subscribers in 2023! NOTE: The Top 14 states with the worst high school graduation rates and lowest collective IQ's, just so happen to be an exact match for the 14 remaining U.S. states without a single Teddy Brosevelt subscriber. Coincidence? No way bro. EPISODE XLV OF ‘THE TEDDY BROSEVELT SHOW': * Biggest story in the world right now should be the Seymour Hirsh bombshell about the USA committing sabotage and an ACT OF WAR by blowing up Russia's Nord Stream pipeline. * If you had to choose any day and time to attack the USA at its most vulnerable, bloated, distracted and drunk, you'd choose 9 pm EST tomorrow night during the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. Are you ready if SHTF tomorrow night? Because it seems like we are heading towards a major military conflict in 2023. Oh wait…. the new episode of White Lotus is on! Hashtag Bread and Circuses. * Pusillanimous Pentagon officials held a press conference to announce they shot down an object over Alaska. How can anyone believe anything these liars say any more? The only thing this press conference revealed is that we have a bunch of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion quota checkboxes who decided it was a great idea to hold a press conference to announce they are stupid, clueless and have no idea what they even shot down. Good job. * Read this pathetic statement from John Kirby (National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications):“It came inside our territorial waters – and those waters right now are frozen – but inside territorial airspace and over territorial waters. Fighter aircraft assigned to US Northern Command took down the object within last hour.” “We're calling this an object because that's the best description we have right now.” “We do not know who owns it, whether it's state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned. We just don't know.”“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of the Pentagon, President Biden ordered the military to down the object and they did and it came inside our territorial waters and those waters right now are frozen.”* HEY DIPSHITS - Next time, maybe you should wait until AFTER you know what exactly you shot down (private, personal, foreign, domestic, type) before holding the damn press conference? * That's why I'm calling b******t. If they didn't know what the object was, and they wanted to find out, they wouldn't shoot it down ten miles off the coast in frozen arctic waters. * If they had been monitoring it for 24 hours, surely it was hovering above land at some point. Instead, it seems like another lie on top of lies (but…. but…. there were THREE balloons when Trump was president!) on top of a steaming pile of cow manure. * If they really wanted to recover this object, they would have: * (a) shot it down on dry land* (b) had ships, netting and Navy divers stationed down below, before the missile was fired. * You don't need to worry about any of those logistics, when the entire operation was either staged or straight-up fabricated to: * (a) save face from their earlier timid and cowardly response to the Chinese Spy Ballon farce* (b) show everyone how ‘tough' Joe Biden is. * Who would have imagined 20 years ago that the all-powerful American military machine would rapidly deteriorate into this totally embarrassing s**t show? Maybe John Rambo. The US military is now packed with double-crossing traitors like that b*****d Murdoch who left Rambo all alone in Vietnam.* Teddy thinks they made up this new “unidentified, unknown flying object” to make Biden look like a tough guy and to prove that NORAD can still detect stuff flying around our airspace.* My default settings as an informed and engaged American citizens are now:* Never trust a Democrat* Never trust a Deep State agency * Always do your own research * Austin hero, patriot and friend Mr. Alex Strenger (@thealexstrenger) will be coming on the podcast on Monday, Feb 13 to discuss his already legendary appearance at the Austin City Council meeting five days ago, where he dressed up like a clown and announced he was applying to be the next CEO of Austin Energy. * In honor of Alex's viral moment, we have the first-ever audio clip pasted into today's podcast for your listening enjoyment. * The power has gone out twice in the past three years for extended periods of time in Austin. If you live in Texas and don't have a survival plan and at least 30 days worth of food and supplies after this latest energy disaster, you are never going to be prepared when a real life-and-death emergency strikes.* Gotta give a shout-out to my man Patrick Killelea. Patrick has a website and substack where he expertly curates and posts the best daily memes. And he does a helluva job. Thank you Patrick for reaching out to Teddy and emailing me these daily, incredibly spicy memes!Here's my favorite meme from Patrick's Substack post today (Saturday, Feb 11). * We are in the middle of a burning hot domestic and international Information War, Cold War and Proxy War. We need more regular American citizens like you, me, Alex Strenger, Blue Canaries and Patrick Killelea to step up and join the fight. * No matter what your skills or experience - if you can read, type and care about the future of America - there's SOMETHING you can do RIGHT NOW to educate and alert your fellow citizens. * If we all stay silent and cower in fear (exactly what the enemy wants), the Marxist takeover of every American institution will continue unabated until America is officially lost forever. * It's not too late, but the clock is ticking. Fast, loud and hard. We will back next week with special guests including Alex Strenger, Blue Canaries, Clinton Rarey, Charlotte Wilson Part II, and many more! Enjoy Bob Gibson episode #45!

Both countries have declared a state of emergency as rescue efforts move to find survivors trapped under rubble, reports the Times of Israel. A second 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck a few minutes later at 4:24 am approximately 60 miles north of the first quake's epicenter, which was centered in the southeastern province of Gaziantep, Turkey, according to the Daily Mail. The first quake's depth was up to 10 miles according to the US Geological Survey and had aftershocks reaching 6.7 on the Richter Scale. Tremors reverberated as far away as Israel and Cairo in Egypt. CBS reports that UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said "We stand ready to provide further support as needed." A total of 76 search and rescue specialists have been dispatched from the UK to help with the efforts. Almost immediately after the quake hit, Turkey asked the European Civil Project and Humanitarian Aid Operations for assistance and aid. The Turkish Interior Minister said, "The main impact of the earthquake fell on Kahramanmaras. After that, there were at least 22 aftershocks, 6 of magnitude over 6. The earthquake was felt in 10 provinces "Two hours after the earthquake, several dozen dead are known. In many cities, multi-storey buildings have been destroyed; it is not yet possible to start clearing the rubble." https://www.theblaze.com/news/prostitutes-sex-workers-catholic-school-oakland Prostitutes solicit sex right outside Catholic elementary school, police handcuffed after California Democrats passed law to protect transgender sex workers Parents of children are up in arms that prostitutes are soliciting sex work right outside a California elementary school. Some are saying that a law passed by California Democrats has handcuffed law enforcement in cracking down on sex workers selling their bodies in broad daylight. KGO-TV conducted an investigation about prostitutes working outside St. Anthony's elementary school in East Oakland. The San Francisco-based news station captured video of sex workers dressed in minimal clothes and stiletto heels walking the streets near the Catholic school to sell their bodies in the middle of the day with students nearby. KGO-TV reported, "The I-Team captured videos along E. 15th Street outside the school gate on four different dates over the past couple weeks showing young women wearing barely any clothing walking along the school sidewalk, the street corners, or directly across from the school. All of the videos were captured as children were being dropped off or walked into school." Concerned parent Rosa Vargas told KGO-TV said she sees prostitutes near the Catholic school "every day, during all periods of the day." Vargas said the sex workers solicit sex so close to the elementary school that they recently "were blocking the entrance of the parking structure" of the school. Oakland City Councilman Noel Gallo noted that he is receiving complaints about prostitutes every week. Gallo stated, "I get the call saying, 'Mr. Gallo I can't get into my home because the pimp is blocking my driveway.' It's constant." Gallo said he has seen up to 20 scantily-clad women walking up and down the street, appearing to engage in prostitution. He revealed that some of the girls are as young as 15 years old. City officials believe some of the women are victims of human trafficking. Some believe that recent construction along a busy highway caused the sex workers to migrate to residential neighborhoods. Rodney Pierre-Antoine – who oversees seven Catholic elementary schools, including St. Anthony's – said the hands of the police "are somewhat handcuffed." Pierre-Antoine is referencing Senate Bill 357, known as the Safer Streets for All Act. SB 357 states: Existing law prohibits soliciting or engaging in an act of prostitution, as specified. Existing law also prohibits loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution, as defined, or directing, supervising, recruiting, or aiding a person who is loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, or collecting or receiving all or part of the proceeds of an act of prostitution. Under existing law, a violation of any of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would repeal those provisions related to loitering with the intent to commit prostitution and would make other conforming changes. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed SB 357 into law in July, and it went into effect on Jan. 1. Police officers told KGO-TV that the new law is prohibiting them from rescuing women who they believe are victims of human trafficking. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/democrat-led-state-killing-businesses-shrink-secede-several-counties Democrat-led state that’s ‘killing businesses’ could shrink amid push to secede in several counties After 11 Oregon counties approved a preliminary vote to secede from the Democrat-led state, local leaders around the movement are explaining how the urban-rural divide has left them with no other choice. "People in eastern Oregon have felt like their state-level governance has not heard them, has not paid attention to our concerns, and has not been working for eastern Oregon," Greater Idaho Movement spokesperson Matt McCaw said on "Fox & Friends First" Monday. McCaw, along with Oregon business owner Sandie Gilson, supports the idea of having select counties elect to move their state borderlines so state-level governance would come from Idaho. Over the last two years, the Greater Idaho Movement has worked to gather constituent sentiment around the proposal. Business owners like Gilson sounded off on Oregon’s tax policy, detailing the burden taken on by a corporate activity tax. The decision to secede from the state, McCaw argued, would be a "win-win" for all involved parties. The formal state bill, called the Greater Idaho Bill, was introduced to the Oregon legislature on Jan. 10. Idaho state leaders reportedly motioned for formal discussions about the proposal last week, noting the purpose is to "begin official discussions on whether it is feasible to move the Idaho border into eastern Oregon." However, if Idaho and Oregon were to negotiate a border adjustment, U.S. Congress would have to sign off on it, in addition to both Oregon and Idaho legislatures. The plan would create what would become the nation’s third-largest state geographically. https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/alex-christy/2023/02/06/study-five-months-late-night-93-liberal-guests-1-conservative Five Months Of Late Night: 93 Liberal Guests, 1 Conservative The late-night comedy shows ended 2022 with a unanimously liberal guest count and that trend continued until the very last day of January, a NewsBusters study has revealed. MRC analysts found that from Labor Day through January 31, liberal guests outnumbered conservative guests 93 to 1. It was 99 percent liberal and/or Democrat. The one exception was My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell who Jimmy Kimmel put on to mock. This is follow up to MRC’s late night guest election campaign study. The study looked at the daily six late night comedy shows: ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and 2023 temp hosts. Fox's Gutfeld! was not included. MRC analysts divided guests into two categories: partisan officials and then journalists and celebrities. When it came to the count of politicians, the count was 27 Democrats to 0 Republicans. Stephen Colbert led with ten, Noah was second with seven, Meyers was third at four, Fallon came in fourth with three, Kimmel placed fifth at two, and Corden was sixth and last with one. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke, and former First Lady Michelle Obama were the guests who appeared multiple times during the length of the study. Obama's appearance on Colbert was split into multiple episodes and is counted as multiple appearances and was the only guest to appear three times. As for journalists and celebrities, the results were 66 liberals to 1 conservative. Stephen Colbert was again the most partisan with 21. Trevor Noah and The Daily Show temp hosts came in second at 17 (11 for Noah, 1 for Leslie Jones, 2 for Wanda Sykes, 3 for D.L. Hughley). Meyers and Fallon tied for bronze with ten. Kimmel again placed fifth with seven and Corden was the least partisan with one. Accountable2You Jesus is Lord.

According to the Daily Mail, Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of US Northern Command, revealed in a Monday call with reporters that the Balloon, in addition to potentially carrying explosives, was 200 feet tall, weighed thousands of pounds, and its payload was the size of a jetliner. https://rumble.com/v28clmv-the-chinese-spy-balloon-has-finally-been-shot-down..html - Play Video VanHerck’s comments came following a briefing by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who defended Biden’s decision to wait to shoot down the balloon until the weekend. On the coast of South Carolina on Saturday afternoon, the US military, using an F-22 fighter jet, shot down the balloon with a missile. Shortly before the balloon was shot down, Federal Aviation Administration had issued a ground stop for three airports in the Carolinas located in Wilmington, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The balloon had entered US airspace on January 28 and was known to the Biden administration for nearly a week before its report in the news on Thursday, February 2. The White House reportedly tried to keep its presence secret to not disrupt Secretary of State Antony Blinken scheduled trip to China, which was postponed after the public's discovery of the balloon.

The plan would create what would become the nation’s third-largest state geographically. https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/alex-christy/2023/02/06/study-five-months-late-night-93-liberal-guests-1-conservative Five Months Of Late Night: 93 Liberal Guests, 1 Conservative The late-night comedy shows ended 2022 with a unanimously liberal guest count and that trend continued until the very last day of January, a NewsBusters study has revealed. MRC analysts found that from Labor Day through January 31, liberal guests outnumbered conservative guests 93 to 1. It was 99 percent liberal and/or Democrat. The one exception was My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell who Jimmy Kimmel put on to mock. This is follow up to MRC’s late night guest election campaign study. The study looked at the daily six late night comedy shows: ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and 2023 temp hosts. Fox's Gutfeld! was not included. MRC analysts divided guests into two categories: partisan officials and then journalists and celebrities. When it came to the count of politicians, the count was 27 Democrats to 0 Republicans. Stephen Colbert led with ten, Noah was second with seven, Meyers was third at four, Fallon came in fourth with three, Kimmel placed fifth at two, and Corden was sixth and last with one. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke, and former First Lady Michelle Obama were the guests who appeared multiple times during the length of the study. Obama's appearance on Colbert was split into multiple episodes and is counted as multiple appearances and was the only guest to appear three times. As for journalists and celebrities, the results were 66 liberals to 1 conservative. Stephen Colbert was again the most partisan with 21. Trevor Noah and The Daily Show temp hosts came in second at 17 (11 for Noah, 1 for Leslie Jones, 2 for Wanda Sykes, 3 for D.L. Hughley). Meyers and Fallon tied for bronze with ten. Kimmel again placed fifth with seven and Corden was the least partisan with one. Accountable2You Jesus is Lord.

According to the Daily Mail, Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of US Northern Command, revealed in a Monday call with reporters that the Balloon, in addition to potentially carrying explosives, was 200 feet tall, weighed thousands of pounds, and its payload was the size of a jetliner. https://rumble.com/v28clmv-the-chinese-spy-balloon-has-finally-been-shot-down..html - Play Video VanHerck’s comments came following a briefing by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who defended Biden’s decision to wait to shoot down the balloon until the weekend. On the coast of South Carolina on Saturday afternoon, the US military, using an F-22 fighter jet, shot down the balloon with a missile. Shortly before the balloon was shot down, Federal Aviation Administration had issued a ground stop for three airports in the Carolinas located in Wilmington, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The balloon had entered US airspace on January 28 and was known to the Biden administration for nearly a week before its report in the news on Thursday, February 2. The White House reportedly tried to keep its presence secret to not disrupt Secretary of State Antony Blinken scheduled trip to China, which was postponed after the public's discovery of the balloon.

Both countries have declared a state of emergency as rescue efforts move to find survivors trapped under rubble, reports the Times of Israel. A second 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck a few minutes later at 4:24 am approximately 60 miles north of the first quake's epicenter, which was centered in the southeastern province of Gaziantep, Turkey, according to the Daily Mail. The first quake's depth was up to 10 miles according to the US Geological Survey and had aftershocks reaching 6.7 on the Richter Scale. Tremors reverberated as far away as Israel and Cairo in Egypt. CBS reports that UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said "We stand ready to provide further support as needed." A total of 76 search and rescue specialists have been dispatched from the UK to help with the efforts. Almost immediately after the quake hit, Turkey asked the European Civil Project and Humanitarian Aid Operations for assistance and aid. The Turkish Interior Minister said, "The main impact of the earthquake fell on Kahramanmaras. After that, there were at least 22 aftershocks, 6 of magnitude over 6. The earthquake was felt in 10 provinces "Two hours after the earthquake, several dozen dead are known. In many cities, multi-storey buildings have been destroyed; it is not yet possible to start clearing the rubble." https://www.theblaze.com/news/prostitutes-sex-workers-catholic-school-oakland Prostitutes solicit sex right outside Catholic elementary school, police handcuffed after California Democrats passed law to protect transgender sex workers Parents of children are up in arms that prostitutes are soliciting sex work right outside a California elementary school. Some are saying that a law passed by California Democrats has handcuffed law enforcement in cracking down on sex workers selling their bodies in broad daylight. KGO-TV conducted an investigation about prostitutes working outside St. Anthony's elementary school in East Oakland. The San Francisco-based news station captured video of sex workers dressed in minimal clothes and stiletto heels walking the streets near the Catholic school to sell their bodies in the middle of the day with students nearby. KGO-TV reported, "The I-Team captured videos along E. 15th Street outside the school gate on four different dates over the past couple weeks showing young women wearing barely any clothing walking along the school sidewalk, the street corners, or directly across from the school. All of the videos were captured as children were being dropped off or walked into school." Concerned parent Rosa Vargas told KGO-TV said she sees prostitutes near the Catholic school "every day, during all periods of the day." Vargas said the sex workers solicit sex so close to the elementary school that they recently "were blocking the entrance of the parking structure" of the school. Oakland City Councilman Noel Gallo noted that he is receiving complaints about prostitutes every week. Gallo stated, "I get the call saying, 'Mr. Gallo I can't get into my home because the pimp is blocking my driveway.' It's constant." Gallo said he has seen up to 20 scantily-clad women walking up and down the street, appearing to engage in prostitution. He revealed that some of the girls are as young as 15 years old. City officials believe some of the women are victims of human trafficking. Some believe that recent construction along a busy highway caused the sex workers to migrate to residential neighborhoods. Rodney Pierre-Antoine – who oversees seven Catholic elementary schools, including St. Anthony's – said the hands of the police "are somewhat handcuffed." Pierre-Antoine is referencing Senate Bill 357, known as the Safer Streets for All Act. SB 357 states: Existing law prohibits soliciting or engaging in an act of prostitution, as specified. Existing law also prohibits loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution, as defined, or directing, supervising, recruiting, or aiding a person who is loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, or collecting or receiving all or part of the proceeds of an act of prostitution. Under existing law, a violation of any of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would repeal those provisions related to loitering with the intent to commit prostitution and would make other conforming changes. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed SB 357 into law in July, and it went into effect on Jan. 1. Police officers told KGO-TV that the new law is prohibiting them from rescuing women who they believe are victims of human trafficking. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/democrat-led-state-killing-businesses-shrink-secede-several-counties Democrat-led state that’s ‘killing businesses’ could shrink amid push to secede in several counties After 11 Oregon counties approved a preliminary vote to secede from the Democrat-led state, local leaders around the movement are explaining how the urban-rural divide has left them with no other choice. "People in eastern Oregon have felt like their state-level governance has not heard them, has not paid attention to our concerns, and has not been working for eastern Oregon," Greater Idaho Movement spokesperson Matt McCaw said on "Fox & Friends First" Monday. McCaw, along with Oregon business owner Sandie Gilson, supports the idea of having select counties elect to move their state borderlines so state-level governance would come from Idaho. Over the last two years, the Greater Idaho Movement has worked to gather constituent sentiment around the proposal. Business owners like Gilson sounded off on Oregon’s tax policy, detailing the burden taken on by a corporate activity tax. The decision to secede from the state, McCaw argued, would be a "win-win" for all involved parties. The formal state bill, called the Greater Idaho Bill, was introduced to the Oregon legislature on Jan. 10. Idaho state leaders reportedly motioned for formal discussions about the proposal last week, noting the purpose is to "begin official discussions on whether it is feasible to move the Idaho border into eastern Oregon." However, if Idaho and Oregon were to negotiate a border adjustment, U.S. Congress would have to sign off on it, in addition to both Oregon and Idaho legislatures.

In today's very special episode, Sandy and Sandra are joined for the first segment by the one and only Santa Claus to discuss his annual toy delivery and the risks associated with it. Santa explains the logistics of North Pole operations and the challenges they have faced due to labor shortages and supply chain issues. While so many details of Santa's operation are understandably considered classified, he is able to shed some light on the incredible work he, Mrs.Claus, and the elves perform each year, while also stressing the importance of maintaining PPI to protect children's personal data. Our hosts then have the opportunity to speak with General Glen VanHerck, Commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), as well as US Northern Command, who shares details on the role his team plays in tracking Santa on his journey each year. The General also goes on to explain how this mission started, how it has evolved over the years, and how listeners can access the NORAD Tracks Santa program. The Finer Details of this Episode: The scale of North Pole operations Challenges that Santa faces in his work The importance of maintaining personal professional privacy information How he ensures that toys are delivered on time The different risks associated with flying a sleigh around the world Some of the exciting experiences Santa has had while delivering toys The classified nature of much of Santa's operation General VanHerck's role and responsibilities NORAD and its NORAD Tracks Santa program The program's evolution over the years Quotes: "We have to come up with about 2 billion toys a year, maybe a little bit fewer because of the little naughty ones, but that's not such a big number." "I mean, ever since the great elf resignation, it's been tougher than blazes to get elves." "If we were down there, we'd be up to our butts in elves, but we can't do that because the FAA won't let us fly over the 48 states. You know, they won't give us the permission. And then there's the whole labor thing.” “We are a risk manager's nightmare here. I'll tell you; we have a risk oversight committee, and we've got representatives from all the various health departments, and, you know, we've got air traffic control risks, we have risks of all those little reindeer hooves damaging roof tiles-- oh, the insurance company is all over us for that - we're working through that. We've got technology risks, you know, the sleigh is a very sophisticated piece of equipment, "I'm up here in North Pole Operations Center, and as you can imagine, we track the world's population very closely—precisely, in fact." “If it emanates from space, it's a threat to North America, we identify that threat - or, it may not be a threat - both military and civilian. If it is a threat, then we do aerospace control as the Commander of NORAD, and we have fighters on alert each and every day to respond.” “Once Rudolph's nose is visible, we have a series of satellites - not only the radars but satellites - that detect the infrared signature of Rudolph's nose.” “We have multiple ways to track and follow NORAD Tracks Santa, even in the days leading up to NORAD Tracks Santa on Christmas Eve.” “It takes a large amount of people to execute this - we have on order of 1,500 volunteers that answer about 150,000 calls. We have 2 million followers, and about 14 million people check into our social media platforms to do this.” “Those are the ones that make it truly special - the ones that it's clear they're firm believers, they understand the power of Santa Claus, and they're expecting to get that message delivered. So, it's really an honor to have those conversations.” “I get up every day, very humbled to have the job to defend our homelands, knowing that this is the most noble job that anybody could have when you serve.” Links: The Adrenaline Zone Homepage The Adrenaline Zone on Instagram The Adrenaline Zone on Twitter The Adrenaline Zone on TikTok NORAD Tracks Santa
EP-071 Terrorist Attack or Self Sabotage Two important links. 20 years after the terrorist strike on 9/11. We, the American public, can no longer look away. Please take the time to watch this video and visit the evidence at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. 70% of the public at the end of 2003 believed Saddam Hussein was linked to 911 attack. US Air Defense failed in 1.5 hours to act on the morning of 9/11. NORAD was running simulations. These simulation caused complications with communications and left air force resources spent. Even after two towers were struck by hijacked airplanes the simulation was not canceled. Two jets were airborne in time to prevent the Pentagon strike, but they were sent out over the ocean. Amazing timing for a war games simulation. Similar to the Event 201 pandemic simulation that occurred at the same time as Covid was released. Accidentally or intentionally? Did you know in July of 2001. The attorney general of the United States John Ashcroft, who always flew commercial airlines as his method of travel, switched to chartered government planes? He did so because of a FBI threat assessment that warned Ashcroft to stay off commercial airliners. Have you heard of US Air Force General Ralph Eberhart? He was Commander in Chief of the U.S. Space Command and Commander in Chief of NORAD on 9/11/2001. On the tenth of September, just 12 hours before the attack, General Eberhart lowered the Infocon alert system to its lowest threat level. Infocon is an alert system that defends against attacks on communications networks within the Department of Defense. On 9/11, after Eberhart knew the country was under attack, he drove from Peterson Air Force base to Cheyenne Mountain NORAD facility. He was absent and unavailable to lead for 45 minutes to an hour. The drive usually takes 30 minutes. The General could have ended the war games simulation, and he could have scrambled the remaining jets to defend against the remaining hijacked planes. Yet despite bizarre incompetence, at best, and failure to lead in crucial moments while the country was under attack, General Eberhart was promoted to lead the newly created US Northern Command, the nations premiere military homeland defense organization. Did you know the planes that hit the Pentagon and the Twin Towers performed maneuvers that were at the limits of the plane's capabilities? Did you know the hijackers were described as “piss-poor” pilots by their trainers? One hijacker actually trained on a Boeing 737 in a simulator, but supposedly flew a 757 on 9/11 performing expert maneuvers at the peak of the commercial airplane's capabilities. The cockpit of the simulator model trained on and the actual model flown are drastically different. One of the hijackers, Marwan Al-Sheikki had never flown a jet before in his life, and yet was able to perform expert maneuvers at the limits of the plane's capabilities. But the feat of the day was by the hijacker of Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. Pilots with both fighter jet and commercial airliner experience have stated they would have a hard time performing the maneuvers made that day by Flight 77. Air traffic controllers actually thought the plane was a military aircraft when they saw the sharp precise high speed movements by Flight 77. The pilot was able to fly past the Pentagon, perform a 180 degree turn while descending at a high rate of speed, and then keep control as they skimmed the ground striking the side of the building. It was the flight path analysis that I saw many years ago that made me question the official narrative of the 9/11
US intelligence has assessed that North Korea could be preparing to carry out their first weapons test since President Joe Biden came into office, according to several US officials speaking to CNN on condition of anonymity.The US officials are on alert as the US and South Korea conduct scaled-down, simulated military exercises and US Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are in Asia for meetings with their Japanese and South Korean counterparts."We don't comment on intelligence matters," Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. Martin Meiners said in a statement. "North Korea's continued development of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction represent a threat to U.S. interests and the security of our allies and partners. In the near term, DoD, in close coordination with allies and partners, will seek to deter negative behavior from North Korea."A test or provocation of some kind would not be a surprise, regional experts said."North Korea traditionally has done some kind of strongly provocative action early in both US and South Korean new administrations," said Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation who pointed to tests conducted in 2017, shortly after former President Donald Trump took office, and in 2009, to mark former President Barack Obama's arrival in the White House. "The idea was to 'train them like a dog,' a North Korean defector told me," Klingner said, to squeeze concessions from the two, more powerful countries."So history would indicate they'd do something in the first few months of a Biden administration as well," he said. "If they do a provocation, it's perfectly predictable."On Monday, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's leader, warned the Biden administration against "causing a stink at its first step" on Monday, hours after the White House said it had not received a response to diplomatic overtures it had been making to Pyongyang.White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to respond to the comment Tuesday. "We don't have a direct comment or response to the comments made from North Korea," Psaki told reporters in a briefing on board Air Force One, en route to Philadelphia with the President. She pointed to the meetings between Blinken, Austin, and their counterparts, where "certainly, the security of the region will be a topic of discussion."Later this week, Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan are also headed to Alaska to meet with their Chinese counterparts, which Psaki also said will feature a discussion on "security in the region."Blinken and Austin reaffirmed their commitment to the "complete denuclearization of North Korea" in Japan on Tuesday and to creating opportunities for further cooperation between the US, Japan, and South Korea, according to a statement from the US State Department.They will hold meetings in South Korea on Wednesday local time.One senior US official said North Korea might decide whether to go through with a test after seeing what comes out of Blinken and Austin's meetings in Asia.General warns about North Korea's 'alarming success'On Tuesday, a senior US general issued a public warning about the threat posed by North Korea"The Kim Jong Un regime has achieved alarming success in its quest to demonstrate the capability to threaten the U.S. homeland with nuclear-armed ICBMs, believing such weapons are necessary to deter US military action and ensure his regime's survival," Gen. Glen Van Herck, head of US Northern Command and responsible for the defense of the continental United States, told the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday.The possibility of a test in the coming days has led Biden administration officials across several agencies to discuss how they would respond publicly if one happens, the officials said.The officials would not be specific about what the latest intelligence shows, but a likely scenario, based on imagery and other intelligence, is that there co...
Technology is constantly evolving and when you are in charge of protecting the US against threats, it is critical to stay ahead. Leveraging new technology when you’ve worked with the same system for so long can be a challenge, and that’s why the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command partnered with DIU to design and implement a commercial technology to transform how they analyze and use data to make critically important decisions to keep the U.S. safe. Major General Angela Cadwell and Colonel Ross Morrell join hosts Dan Dilllard and Zach Walker to discuss NORAD, US Northern Command, and what it is like working with DIU to innovate new technologies for our Nation’s defense.

Lieutenant General Reynold Hoover spent 35 years in the United States military before retiring as the Deputy Commander in charge of the US Northern Command – the military command responsible for protecting the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, The Bahamas, and the surrounding air, land, and sea. General Hoover joins Adam to share his insights into how to excel in a high-pressure, high-stakes role and how anyone can become a better leader. General Hoover and Adam discuss the principles of effective leadership, lessons learned from General Hoover’s ascent in the Army, and why a general doubled as the official U.S. Easter Bunny.

We have all seen pictures of the “Big Three” (Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin) at their historic meeting Yalta in February 1945. The three leaders command the viewer’s attention, naturally, but in the background of the various versions of that photo are other important figures. One can glimpse George Marshall in some. Foreign ministers Eden and Molotov appear in others. American Admirals King and Leahy are there. And so is a U.S. Army Air Force general named Larry Kuter. Not exactly a household name, Kuter was an enormously influential figure, who richly deserves this excellent biography written by airpower expert, Brian Laslie: Architect of Air Power: General Laurence S. Kuter and the Birth of the U.S. Air Force (University Press of Kentucky, 2017). Dr. Laslie is the Deputy Command Historian at NORAD and US Northern Command and the author of another noteworthy book on the U.S. Air Force: The Air Force Way of War: U.S. Tactics and Training after Vietnam (2015), which I can also recommend. Laslie kept encountering Kuter’s name or photo as his work took him to Air Force bases and installations around the world and began to ask questions. Kuter was the co-author of AWPD-1, the first American plan for air war and a strong proponent of daylight, precision strategic bombing. He commanded American forces all over the world, served immediately under Harold George in the postwar Air Transport Command, which gave him responsibility, among other things, for the Berlin Airlift in 1948. He set up the United States Air Force Academy; he commanded NORAD; in retirement, he worked with Pan Am on the 747 project. And there was much more to Kuter’s story, as you can read in Laslie’s book after you enjoy our conversation here. Listeners might also be interested in the author’s blog, Balloons to Drones.

Kuter was the co-author of AWPD-1, the first American plan for air war and a strong proponent of daylight, precision strategic bombing. He commanded American forces all over the world, served immediately under Harold George in the postwar Air Transport Command, which gave him responsibility, among other things, for the Berlin Airlift in 1948. He set up the United States Air Force Academy; he commanded NORAD; in retirement, he worked with Pan Am on the 747 project. And there was much more to Kuter’s story, as you can read in Laslie’s book after you enjoy our conversation here. Listeners might also be interested in the author’s blog, Balloons to Drones.

We have all seen pictures of the “Big Three” (Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin) at their historic meeting Yalta in February 1945. The three leaders command the viewer’s attention, naturally, but in the background of the various versions of that photo are other important figures. One can glimpse George Marshall in some. Foreign ministers Eden and Molotov appear in others. American Admirals King and Leahy are there. And so is a U.S. Army Air Force general named Larry Kuter. Not exactly a household name, Kuter was an enormously influential figure, who richly deserves this excellent biography written by airpower expert, Brian Laslie: Architect of Air Power: General Laurence S. Kuter and the Birth of the U.S. Air Force (University Press of Kentucky, 2017).

U.S. Northern Command includes a relatively small unit dedicated to helping civilian authorities that respond to chemical, biological, radio-logical and nuclear incidents. Now the Joint Task Force Civil Support has added digital mapping and other information-related capabilities. Richie Richardson, geographic information system coordinator at Joint Task Force Civil Support, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk about the new initiative.
