On this day, May 5, 1903, James Beard, US culinary expert, author (Delights & Prejudices), was born in Portland, Ore.
Also on this day, May 5, 1945, A Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon, killing Mrs. Elsie Mitchell, the pregnant wife of a minister, and five children after they attempted to drag it out the woods in Lakeview, Oregon. The balloon was armed, and exploded soon after they began tampering with it. They became the 1st and only known American civilians to be killed in the continental US during World War II.
Also on this day, May 5, 1945, Bly minister Archie Mitchell, his pregnant wife Elsie, and five children from Mitchell's Sunday school class were on a Saturday morning picnic. Thirteen miles northeast of Bly, or about sixty miles northeast of Klamath Falls, Mitchell parked the car, and Elsie and the children headed to Leonard Creek. Mitchell later remembered: "As I got out of the car to bring the lunch, the others were not far away and called to me they had found something that looked like a balloon. I heard of Japanese balloons so I shouted a warning not to touch it. But just then there was a big explosion. I ran up there--and they were all dead." It was a Japanese balloon bomb. They were 70 feet tall with a 33-foot diameter paper canopy connected to the main device by shroud lines. Balloons inflated with hydrogen followed the jet stream at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
11,000 Americans have died from the vaccines
Governor Kate Brown recently announced she will be deploying up to 1,500 Oregon National Guard members to support frontline health care workers as Oregon hospitals face a surge of hospitalizations due to the rapid spread of the Delta variant. Today she added nurse strike teams, establishing temporary decompression units to free up bed space, and removing barriers to discharging patients who no longer require hospital-level care. Oregon has also made requests to FEMA and the Biden-Harris administration for additional federal resources and support. The Governor announced she has formed a Hospital Crisis Prevention and Response group consisting of health care stakeholders to problem solve in real time and suggest new measures to aid health care workers and hospitals during the ongoing hospital crisis.
Governor Brown wrenched up her mandates by announcing two new vaccination measures to address Oregon’s hospital crisis, caused by the Delta variant surge, and to help keep Oregon students safe in the upcoming school year and minimize disruptions to in-person instruction:
- Oregon’s vaccination requirement for health care workers will no longer have a testing alternative. Health care workers will be required to be fully vaccinated by October 18 or six weeks after full FDA approval, whichever is later.
- All teachers, educators, support staff, and volunteers in K-12 schools will be required to be fully vaccinated by October 18 or six weeks after full FDA approval, whichever is later.
"The Delta variant has put enormous pressure on our health systems, and health care workers are being stretched to their absolute limits providing life-saving treatment for the patients in their care," said Governor Brown. "I am devoting all available resources to help, and we must proactively implement solutions right now. We need every single frontline health care worker healthy and available to treat patients."
Hospitals are well stocked with equipment, so will Governor Brown’s announcement of vaccine mandates cause mass resignations?
Nurses and locals protested on August 10 and again today against mandating staff be vaccinated. Breanna Jarmar, Executive Director for Oregonians for Medical Freedom, was interviewed by Rick Dancer, reporting that nursing homes that care for COVID patients receive less financial assistance if their staff is not fully vaccinated, so Peace Health will lose money without full compliance. She says, “It’s more about money than caring for people.†Rick Dancer reported that Bob Sneed, a constitutional lawyer is preparing to represent the nurses. Your rights belong to you, not the government.
The Governor said, “In both cases, health care workers and educators who are not yet vaccinated are urged to speak with their doctor or primary care provider to get their remaining questions about vaccination answered immediately, so they can begin the vaccination process in time to meet the new requirements. In the case of educators, the Governor outlined the importance of masks and staff vaccinations to protect students: because children under 12 are still not yet eligible for vaccination, masks are a critical mitigation measure to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Ensuring all the adults around students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 adds another layer of protection for students as well.â€

Update Governor Brown ignores: as of July 16, 2021. 11,000 Americans have died from the vaccines, and 48,000 seriously Injured as of July 9. The death toll averaged nearly 100 persons per day for the period from April 23 until July 9, 2021. In total, 118,902 adverse event reports had been filed, that’s about 30 people per day are dying from the shots, and these numbers have grown. CDC is trying to use the decrease in cases to justify the vaccine deaths, but the survival rate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated is 99%. When you add the chance of being disabled and unemployable, it goes way up for the vaccinated.
When Rick Dancer interviewed nurse Magen, she said medical freedom is a dangerous slippery slope. We are shutting down the science, FDA has not completed the challenge trial so they have not approved the vaccines. Vaccines do not stop a person from getting or spreading COVID. When asked what the answer is, she said we need to talk about health, diets, and exercise - 96% of all COVID-19 patients that die are overweight.†Vaccinated deaths don't discriminate.
