What will 2019 bring?
The U.K. is leaving the E.U. while it builds an Army.
While the Democrats may have retaken the House, President Trump prefers to find ways to undermine THEM.
Socialists have now successfully completely taken over the Progressive moment and have hit the gas.
Will America be "Out of Many One"?
Or "The earth belongs only to men"?
Philadelphia: Authorities cave to Muslim group over Muslim kids dancing to chopping heads jihad song, take no action
Dec 5, 2019 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams
Jihad Watch has been following the story of the Philadelphia elementary school aged children who danced to a “chopping heads jihad song” in April. It was a demonstration of the violent, hateful conditioning of children that is routine in the Palestinian territories.
From the Washington Times in September:
A group of kids at the Muslim American Society (MAS) Islamic Center in Philadelphia were captured on camera dancing and lip-syncing and performing on stage to a happy little ditty of chopping heads and leading armies of Allah and torturing enemies and other Islamic political and religious principles…
[snip]
The admission of a mistake by the MAS was merely regret over getting caught. But it sufficed for all the organizations involved to prattle on about cultures coming together and celebrating diversity. The West is being duped; one wonders what it will take to recognize the obvious.

Potential terror attack -
Follow- on reporting on yesterday’s shooting at the Florida naval base is looking like a planned attack. 6 other Saudi students are in custody - three of which reportedly filmed the attack.
I am not convinced it is linked to the one in Hawaii yet - blackout of news.
Will there be another ? I think that all Saudi and other ME. Military here training should be under intense observation. Call it “for their protection” idk.

Pensacola attack -
In spite of official silence there is no denying the attack was terrorism and a significant number of other Saudi students knew about it. 10 are reportedly in custody with several more on the run.
Military bases have reportedly raised their alert levels. Hopefully that includes corralling any Saudi or other ME military/civilians at those bases.
N Korea
Things beginning to move fast. Overnight NK conducted a rocket test at the one time dismantled Sohae test site. Observers indicate it likely involved a solid rocket motor to replace the less than reliable liquid fuel ICBMs. Second NK envoys have stoke the fork in denuclearization talks sayin it is off the table.
US response still pending. Multinational intelligence operations have increased over the past week or so.
Future options by NK - full up icbm launch, nuke warhead test (extreme outer edge) or something in between. I don’t think Kim has guts to directly attack Guam or SK but those threats could resume.
Hong Kong
Millions returned to the streets again pushing for more independence and justice. Incredible in that the pro democracy movement’s resounding election victory.
Iraq -
A rocket fired from a drone targeted the home of populist Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday. No word on who owned the drone/rocket. Sadr has been marginally supportive of the protestors of late setting him at odds with fellow shites in Iran. The attack caused little damage and sadr was unhurt being in Iran at the time.
Other reports of “unknown” gunmen shooting protestors across the country. These gunmen are undoubtedly members of Iranian supported/organized militias.
These actions are being interpreted as an attempt to accept the replacement PM now that Abdul Mahdi has stepped down. Mahdi is viewed by the protestors as an Iranian puppet and supporter of Iranian supported corruption
While the soap opera that is the impeachment hearings drone on here are some important things.
N Korea
Rhetoric continues to rise. Some observers are noting the last time Kim promised a “gift” (2017) it turned out to be an ICBM launch. Keep the following in context:
1) Kim’s pilgrimage to the sacred mountain for reflection
2) A second party plenum meeting that has been scheduled for this month - out of the ordinary. Much talk about a new “strategic position”.
3) The test of an apparently solid fuel rocket engine potentially for an ICBM.
4) Denuclearization is “off the table”
Some indicators would suggest an ICBM test is pending. Probably shoot over Japan for maximum irritation/intimidation. Slightly less likely is another nuke test. Either way, Kim seems to be doubling and tripling down on his protestations demanding US concede to his demands. For his part President Trump has said that the eyes of the intelligence community are on him and that he should avoid doing something stupid.
Iraq
Protests and “unidentified” (read Iranian-backed militia) shooting them. A few rockets were fired at a US base near Bagdad from unidentified elements (read Iranian-backed militia)wounding 6 soldiers (5 of which are identified as Iraqi).
Pensacola Attack -
FBI now treating as a ‘probable’ terror incident. Many unanswered questions such has how did he get around the system to ‘legally’ purchase a handgun? Mixed reporting on whether or not there are still Saudi ‘students’ unaccounted for.
Greece/Turkey
Reports of a Greek fighter locking targeting radar on a Turkish vessel. Worth paying attention.
While the impeachment saga churns. . . . .
N Korea
RUMINT - Some are postulating December 11 (Wednesday) as the day Kim may reveal his ‘gift’. This exactly two years on from the 8th Conference of the Munitions Industry.
US Strategic Deployments -
RUMINT RUMINT. Not confirmed but reportedly 5xE6-B’s and constant Phoenix are airborne at the moment. E-6B is the doomsday plane. Having that many in the air at once would be unusual.
Also RUMINT The Navy has 7 aircraft carriers underway today. Trying to verify both pieces of information.
Israel -
Activity level at normal pace - that being rhetoric by Hamas, PJI and Hezbollah. Scattered attacks and some bombing by IAF.
Rumblings (slightly more reliable than RUMINT) that Israel is having growing concerns about a potential missile strike from Houthi militia leaders in Yemen. Far away, yes but Iranian military leaders have been saying that an attack would be coming from a side you maybe least expected it to come from. The attack on the Saudi oil refinery is a prime example.
Breaking from impeachment soap opera.
N Korea
Sources stating that there are signs that it has already moved a three-stage rocket from a missile factory in Sanum-dong in Pyongyang to an assembly facility at Tongchang-ri. Many believe this to be a version of the Hwasong-15 that may be equipped with the type of engine recently tested. Resumption of ICBM tests has been the “gift” many have thought Kim has been planning to give and is the next logical step. Weather conditions are being monitored by some to evaluate potential launch windows. 11-14 December currently has favorable conditions. That is provided the rocket is assembled and ready to launch now.
Thread also on this in FR here:

Turkey
Two items. First, rumored threats that Turkey will cut off US access to key airbases if US applies sanctions for Turkey’s purchase of Russian S-400 Antiaircraft missiles.
Second - Turkey is contemplating increased involvement in the Libyan civil war. Turkey supports the UN sponsored/approved GNA, which granted Turkey the right to explore for natural gas in Libyan offshore waters. It has not been going well for the GNA as it appears that LNA would take control of Tripoli by the end of the year and then hold national elections in mid-2020. LNA disapproves of Turkish involvement. To stave this off it is being reported that Turkey is considering the deployment of combat units to shore up the GNA. This would put them across from some French Special forces supporting LNA as well as Russian technicians and military advisors supporting LNA as well. Turkey’s involvement reflects its alliance with Iran and Qatar against other Islamic countries.
Jersey City
Still a lot of mixed reporting. What has come out includes two items
1) The shooters were apparently part of a Black Hebrews group, with a historic reputation of violence
2) The kosher market that became the focus of the fight may have been their target.
Couple additional items I realized I left out
Pensacola terror
Military has pulled all Saudi trainees from courses pending additional investigation. Saudi Arabia is not being fully cooperative in the investigation either.
Jersey City
Not on the front page, but a potential motive may exist in that if I heard correctly, there was a Hebrew School in the space above the Jewish store. Seizing children hostage and killing them is a viable motive imho. Nothing else much makes any further sense than an anti-Semitic attack on a store.
N Korea watch -
Open source intelligence from recent commercial satellite imagery of NK’s Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site revealed no observable signs of activity around the closed tunnel areas. At this point in time, unless NK has successfully and very secretly created a new test site, it is unlikely that the site will be used any time in the near future for nuclear tests. This drives further speculation of an impending ICBM test before the end of the year, very likely between Christmas eve and New Years - depending on the weather.
In the UN yesterday, US addressed NK’s belligerence and refusal to denuclearize. This created increased rhetoric on both sides.
Iraq
Viral posts of a militia member that was caught and hung for shooting at Iraqi protestors are on the web. Further indications that the Iraqi populace is focused on the Iranian supported militias and their attempts to put the protests down.
Israel
Still moving towards its unprecedented third election in a year.
Iran/Syria
Iran is still bleeding millions of dollars in their efforts to get munitions in position to threaten Israel, only to see them blown to smithereens.
US
The Jersey City attack is now clearly one that initially targeted the Jewish Market but probably the Hebrew school above it as recently released videos suggest. No evidence of a broader plan by the Black Hebrew group for further attacks at this time.
Pensacola investigation is relatively quite, no new significant information on if this was a lone wolf or part of a larger plan. Current information suggests a lone wolf / retaliatory attack on an instructor(s) who insulted him.
Russia
Their only aircraft carrier - Admiral Kuznestov, is on fire while in port being repaired. Some say it is smoking less than when it is underway. The severity of the fire is unknown, but several deaths are reported. The ship has failed to support Russian power projection globally due to its mechanical unreliability.
N Korea
Some in the OSINT world are pondering NK’s. Use of the phrase “having nothing more to lose” over the past several days. Repetition iof this kind is not commonly seen. Rampant speculation goes as far as unconventional nuke strikes against the US but that doesn’t seem to match the current situation. What is known is that there has been over the past week or so a substantial increase in the type and number of surveillance assets deployed against NK.
Iran/US.
JPost is reporting that there is increased US concern that Iranian backed militias in Iraq May seek to strike US personnel in Iraq using the cover of current unrest. In recent days there has been an increasing trend of rocket attacks against US supported facilities. JPost also notes a reluctance/ restraint to actually harm US personnel - this probably due to President Trumps warning of severe counterattacks. Iran has a lot of irons in the fire and to take on what would be a brutal direct entanglement with the US may be too much. However remember that the rulers in Iran are facing a near revolt and out of desperation may launch such an attack to preserve their power / positions
Moving into the weekend
N Korea
Overnight a 2nd engine test was conducted at the Sohae Satellite Launching Site. NK announced that “ of these research successes bolstering “strategic nuclear war deterrent”.”. Two tests of what is probably a solid fuel engine in such a short time for its ICBM strongly suggests that the “Christmas present” is going to be at the least a full scale launch. NK announced the test was for reliability. In their announcement they even listed the duration of the burn - 7 minutes (from 22:41 to 22:48).
The most significant concern is whether or not NK has been able to package a nuclear device small enough to be delivered by this rocket.
USA
Antifa and other communist/Marxist protestors hit the streets of England within hours of Johnson’s win. This may serve as a harbinger for America in 2020. Antifa et al has been ascendant since 2016 campaigns (though present before but not at present scale). A Trump victory could be the trigger for these democrat brown shirts to light it up. We need to open channels and monitor these groups. Yes a lot of them are wanna be tough guys (and gals). However, I’m seeing indicators of core elements having real combat experience and training developing more lethal units, probably using groups like “John Brown gun club” as recruitment screening tools.
Potential near term flash point is the developing 2d amendment fight in Virginia. The antifa factor hasn’t been considered in current ruminations on scenario development. Virginia and nearby liberal urban areas host some very violence prone antifa elements. Population density permits out of state antifa to concentrate relatively quickly and easily. They may serve as agents provocateurs should the Marxist state attempt to force gun policies on sanctuary counties. It could provide the state with an excuse for a greater crackdown.
Iran/Iraq
US again warns Iran that if any of their proxies attack US forces/interests, they would be held accountable.
US Power Grid:
Replacing deleted photo from tinypic, first shown in January, 2019.
Hamas
Big celebration in Gaza noting anniversary of the organization. Meanwhile in the West Bank PA authorities have arrested Hamas political organizers. The West Bank/PA is trying to deal with resurgence of Hamas as a political power. The PA has announced plans for new elections and Hamas wants their say.
Lebanon
Large protests near Beirut broke out with greater violence as Hezbollah fighters/supporters attacked the protestors. Continuation of the pushback Iran and backed elements have received of late.
Iraq
RUMINT - rumors of a more direct Iranian intervention in Iraq. This as protestors object to the proposed new Iraqi PM who like his predecessor is seen as an Iranian puppet and corrupt.
Turkey/Israel
Turkey forced an Israeli vessel out of recently declared economic zone waters near cypress. The Israeli vessel was believed to have been there surveying a route for a natural gas pipeline to Europe. Turkish spokesman on the incident essentially demanded Israel route the pipeline through turkey. Natural gas and other petroleum resources are becoming a greater potential flash point in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
N Korea watch
Continued speculation of the nature of the “present” coming by the end of the year.
Photos allegedly of the recent rocket test seem to appear to be liquid fuel nozzles - but source of photo is questionable and unverified (from what I’ve read). Yesterday I was pretty sure the test involved a solid fuel engine, todays info and discussion with AmericanInTokoyo have shifted my thought to 50/50.
Tweaking interest today comes from a statement by North Korean Army Chief Pak Jon Chons hinting at ‘Another’ Strategic Weapon in Statement today. Speculation is ranging from the potential development of a MIRV warhead to a SLBM launch. OSINT folks have noted some “minor” activity at a submersible test stand barge at Nampo Naval Shipyard. FWIW, NK is holding its cards pretty close at the moment.
Turkey
Turkey is involved in projecting power in four directions.
1 - continued operations in Syria, still haven’t secured their desired ‘buffer’ zone
2 - chasing out other vessels and beginning explorations of ocean they have just recently declared as theirs.
3 - Evaluating sending troops to help the beleaguered government in Libya
4 - THIS IS THE BIGGIE. Turkey is threatening to ban US from two key bases in retaliation for any sanctions and unfavorable measures (Armenian Massacre) taken by the US. Key is the Incirlik Airbase, known for the storage of nuclear weapons. Also the Kürecik Radar Station - provides early warning for NATO against ballistic missile attacks from the east. Either one of these actions would not only affect America, but the rest of NATO/Europe.
Turkey has over the past 10+ years been going more and more rogue and more radically Islamic. It is doubtful that it can retain NATO membership much longer.
“Turkey is threatening to ban US from two key bases in retaliation”
They would be kicked out of NATO immediately.
I would certainly hope that is the response.
Thanks for your pings/posts, Thanks to all contributors. The world is very unstable. Too many no think/irrational people in positions of power and getting away with it...to all of our detriment. Look at the individuals in our own country destabilizing America.
While the continuing episode of impeachmentmania goes on, bad things continue to be afoot globally
N. Korea
USAF General Brown indicated that the US Military as well as other governments, expect NK to test a long range ICBM - their “Christmas gift”. Gen Brown stated that the military retains all options for response. An ICBM test would be the most serious action by NK since negotiations to denuclearize began.
Hamas/Turkey
Reports out today that Hamas has elements working in Turkey planning attacks on Israel with the tacit approval of Turkey. Relocation of planning cells there would enable a degree of security they do not have in Gaza. This Hamas cell is also reportedly in contact with Turkish intelligence.
Lebanon/Hezbollah
The Lebanese army fought with Shia militias, mainly Hezbollah but also the smaller Amal, who tried to occupy a areas in downtown Beirut (the capital). The Shia militia were protesting a video (by a Sunni Arab) they said was offensive to Shia Islam. Since October Lebanon has been the scene of large anti-Iran and anti-Hezbollah protests lately and this was a Hezbollah effort to fight back. Until recently the army would not confront, much less fight, Hezbollah. That is changing.
Turkey
More on Turkey. They are reportedly in talks with Russia regarding Libya and the civil war there. Ankara is increasing moving towards Russia and away from Nato.
US congress has passed a bill lifting a military embargo on Cyprus which has been in place since 1987. This is seen by Turkey as an escalation against it following its decision to purchase the Russian S400 anti-aircraft missile system. The specter of being denied access to key Turkish facilities was raised once again.
Earlier, Turkey chased off an Israeli exploration vessel from Cypriot waters Turkey claims for itself. Turkey grows more aggressive and anti-west daily.
Syria/Iran/Russia/Turkey
Russia is in a delicate dance in Syria between Assad, Iran and Turkey. Assad doesn’t like Iran or Turkey, Turkey and Iran don’t like each other and Russia is trying to hold things together long enough to better establish itself in the region. Probably the most serious threat of the dance is a conflict between Iran and Turkey. They have duked it out in the past and with Turkish resurrection of a desire to be the restored caliphate - in direct challenge to Iran’s similar desire - and turf issues in Syria the potential increases daily. I would have to say Turkey currently has the upper hand against Iran because Iran is over extended finically and militarily across the ME trying to position itself to strike Israel AND the US and any other threat (Saudi Arabia). It would seem that to confront Turkey directly at this moment would not turn out well.
US CW2
With the impeachment battle due to be transferred from the House to the Senate, the levels of rhetoric from both sides is elevating. Scattered pro-impeachment protests occurred around the nation in blue zones.
Virginia 2A sanctuary movement gains traction and similar movements across the country are merging. Jan 20 is a scheduled pro 2A march on Richmond. You can definitely EXPECT antifa to show up potentially creating a very explosive scenario. The Red portion of the state is very motivated and mobilized and won’t take any antifa bullying at all. Keep alert if you are in that area of the country, it could get ugly fast.
