In this previous Substack, it was revealed that lower fitness standards for airline pilots puts people at risk. For atrial fibrillation risk, the lower standards encompass an approximate 50% increase in accepted risk of heart malfunction for airline pilots.
But while we look to pilots to protect us in the skies, even fitness standards of the US Military are being lowered to the point where we no longer experience the same level of protection as before.
Lowered US Military Standards
Acceptable times in the 2-mile run translate into acceptable running speeds of about 5 mph. But almost all (almost 100%) of Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets can do that — ie., can average 5 mph for 2 miles straight — and even many youthful-but-sedentary folk can do that, without any special training.
They could just put down their beer, stand up from their coach, and then go and pass the military run test.
The phenomenon of the participation trophy (“everyone is a winner!”) should not be applied to the US Military though. The US Military should instead include people who are in good shape. Besides lower standards for those in charge of protecting US society, the working class appears to have been targeted for destruction.
Working-Age Decimation
Here are the yearly death rates for those of age 35 to 44 for the latest three years of data: 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Notice how it is that working-age Americans are experiencing persisting increases in death risk each year, including in 2021 when the COVID jabs rolled out.
These trends are alarming enough to bring up the question: Who is gutting out America?
The spectrum of evidence indicates that there is a deliberate weakening of protective mechanisms inside of the United States, as these are the same kinds of things that you’d try to instigate in a nation prior to attempting to take it over, militarily.
$64,000 Question: Is China trying to topple us? Are they weakening the protective mechanisms inside of the United States? Do they then plan to offer us their “policing” services (once our protective agencies are all decimated)?
