BERTRAND DAILY REPORT The War For Your Mind & Soul Continues
Subject: Border Patrol (CBP) Predator Drone Limited by Military Training in Arizona--Video
Life on the border in southern Arizona, next to the Tohono O'Odham Nation and less than 60 yards from a drug corridor, is like camping in Afghanistan as the virtual war in the skies with military training and the ground invasion of illegal aliens keeps me busy as I monitor all communications. Throw in the regular sonic booms from jet fighters, flares at night to deter heat seeking missiles, the rattled windows in my RV are still intact, and my elusive Sidewinder rattle snake remains undeterred.
Tohono is a unique situation of constant drug smuggling which has to be resolved by building the 'Wall' along the Native American federal land. The tribal members are split on Trump's Wall and the series of detection towers to be installed, citing environmental concerns....but here's the catch.
Most tribal members [believe] they are connected to indigenous people that live south of the border and their crossing back and forth is done most everyday without consequences, or the need to pass through a Port of Entry station. There is only a barrier that can be walked between with ease, and at least one ranch claims land on both sides of the border.
For decades, the U.S. government turned a blind eye to their cross-border activities.
Tohono has [been] a well known passage of ease for illegal activities for years and until recently, the only U.S. Border Patrol presence was a small group of Native American (I.C.E. trackers) called the Shadow Wolves. For regular U.S. Border Patrol agents to enter and respond, required permission from the Tribal Nation Leaders.
Certain criteria established for proper response guidelines (previously) has changed and most tribal members are now split on U.S. Border Patrol presence. Even today, response time by USBP to a remote area of the Tohono Nation can take hours.
The strategy by USBP to watch groups of illegal aliens, hauling drugs or not, requires the help of the USBP Predator Drone that launches from Ft. Huachuca (Sierra Vista) near Bisbee Arizona. The drone locks-on a group (unseen or heard at 19,000 feet above), obtains the coordinates of the group and then calculates their exit point to the north. The goal is to intercept the group when they cross highway 86, approximately 27 miles to the north which runs east and west through the reservation. Once the group gets past highway 86, the next goal is Phoenix while getting assistance from Native villages along the way.
Here's the problem.....
The Predator Drone is limited to a 5 mile buffer zone that parallels the border as the UAV travels from Ft. Huachuca to Yuma and back.....looking for any and all activity. The estimated airspeed is about 300mph and has a lot of border to look at.
The conflict between military training in southwest Arizona and USBP operations is a daily event. Military operations, target bombing and air to air combat (day and night) covers an area from Yuma to the east side of the Tohono O'Odham Nation. USBP operations by drone is often a conflict between USBP (CBP) and the Air Force Range Control Officer RCO (Snake Eye) because the drone is at 19,000 and military operations are often from ground level up to 30,000 feet in some areas. The Predator Drone a.k.a. "Omaha" (pilot) sits in a building ~120 miles away, communicating via satellite from Ft. Huachuca to the drone and then simultaneously to the RCO.
The conflict between the RCO and the Omaha UAV is when the pilot guiding the drone requests to enter military restricted airspace over the Tohono Nation, often up to 25 miles north of the border and when that is approved, it's usually for a short period of time. This is a daily event and tells me there's a lot of activity moving north through the reservation.
The bottom line......
Activity on the Tohono Reservation both day and night, the drone is limited and there are not enough USBP helicopters available to continually patrol the Tohono at less than 500 feet, while not conflicting with military operations. The problem of getting USBP ground units to a remote area being watched by either helicopters or the drone is an unrealistic task, especially when there are groups of 30 plus.
Villages within the Tohono are complicit with assisting their [relatives] from Mexico and Central America....not out of compassion, but for the big bucks for assisting a group.
I often monitor 'scouts' on top of mountains and hills to my southeast (on the reservation), communicating with groups approaching from the south. The 'scout' watches for USBP activity and directs a group towards a location for food and water.
These groups and the 'coyote' leading them, knows the Tohono reservation is somewhat safer from detection, therefore.....the latest move by USBP to place detection towers on the reservation are NOT wanted by tribal members while many of the tribal leaders DO want the towers proposed for October.
The proposed 'Wall' for Tohono is a major thorn for most of the tribal members and leaders. (IMO) if there is any location along the 1953 miles of the southwest border that really needs a 'Wall,' it would be the Tohono O'Odham Nation.
Will that happen? I doubt it.....and President Trump [should] then force Mexico to immediately set-up military operations on their side of the border along the Tohono Nation......or, tell Mexico to get out of the way and declare a 5 mile buffer zone (on the Mexican side) and militarize the buffer zone with U.S. military operations.
Note: "As open borders lobbyists push for an amnesty by way of a “DACA fix” or the DREAM Act, others are challenging the legitimacy of the current U.S. – Mexico border. Some prominent Mexicans are making the case that Mexico should return to its 1848 boundaries, by eliminating the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, a treaty that gave the U.S. large swaths of territory in the southwest."
The Dems call it a "humanitarian crisis," and Mexican's call it a "right of passage," but the reality is far more dangerous to America than what the Dems want to tell the American people.
It's a quasi-war invasion by the Deep State to drive America into a Third World status for the globalist cabal that want open borders (specifically) to destroy America (with Socialism) as they are doing to Europe (forcing Sharia Law into the EU).
What's the underlying factor of why the Deep State / Illuminati are moving aggressively against humanity to destroy Christianity and then welcome the Anti-Christ as the "world's savior." The factor for accomplishing that task is Socialism [Communism] and Sharia Law.
Yes....there's many bad types crossing the U.S. border with AK-47's and will use them as they have before, and they are killing more Americans with Fentanyl....exceeding more than twice the number of troops that died in Vietnam.
There's a major crisis at the border and Trump needs to take things a bit further than just a 'Wall.'
For me, here in (Little Afghanistan) the days and nights are beautiful, the airshow above me is fun, the drug corridor next to me is likely active at night and (my) Sidewinder rattle snake (only comes out at night too) is still in one of the holes scattered around the property, but at least he's keeping the mice depopulated.

(USBP/ I.C.E.) Tohono Shadow Wolves
Arizona tribe refuses Trump’s wall, but agrees to let Border Patrol build virtual barrier
The Tohono O’odham Nation reservation once stretched 350 miles from Phoenix to Hermosillo, Mexico. But Mexico never recognized the tribe’s claims to land. The reservation the U.S. government created in 1917 now covers 2.8 million acres.
Half of the tribe’s 34,000 members live on the reservation, which has its own language, schools, police and a government comprising 11 legislative districts. Two are on the border where the towers will be built: Chukut Kuk to the east, Jose and Juan’s ancestral home, and Gu Vo to the west.
The border here is an expansive basin between mountains the tribe considers sacred. To the east looms the 8,000-foot granite Baboquivari Peak — the name means "neck between two heads" in the Tohono O’odham language, and tribal members believe the mountain to be the spiritual home of their creator, l’itoi.
It can take the nation’s 87 tribal police several hours to respond to 911 calls — often related to drug and human smuggling — in remote border villages.
