FDA says its panel of outside advisors will meet on December 10 to discuss Pfizer’s emergency use application for its Covid-19 vaccine. One has to ask - why waiting until Dec 10th (20 days)? Aren’t they taking this epidemic seriously enough? Labs were ready to start issuing the vaccines within 24 hours as per the Warp Drive guidance.
Regeneron was granted emergency use authorization by the FDA. This is the same treatment given to President Trump in October.
China’s “bat woman” says that a new batch of tests prove that the coronavirus did not originate at her Wuhan virology lab. China is pushing a narrative that the disease originated in Italy.
Economy -
Food banks are reporting a substantial increase in requests for assistance. In LA for instance, requests are up 145% and a turkey giveaway in Dallas TX had a line that stretched for miles.
2020 Election-
After certifying his state’s election results, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is now urging his state to conduct an audit comparing the signatures of voter applications and mail-in ballot envelopes to those on the approved voter file to determine if fraud occurred. Pretty screwed up sequence of events.
Republicans have officially gained 10 seats overall in the House. There are four races still too close to call, but the GOP candidates are leading in all four.
CW2/Civil Disturbances -
A biden supporter drove their vehicle into a crowd of Trump supporters at a rally in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin., injuring two. Driver of the vehicle is still on the loose after fleeing the scene.
Strategic Deployments -
US Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite’s called for the establishment of a new naval fleet at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This fleet would directly oppose the aggressive expansionism of China, a move that triggered the standards series of threats from China.
Israel -
Standard fare, Gaza launches a rocket at Israel, Israel bombs Gaza further back into the stone age.
Afghanistan -
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Afghan government and Taliban negotiators in Doha, calling for them to speed up their peace talks as Washington accelerates its military withdrawal from Afghanistan. This meeting occurred after a rocket attack, consisting of nearly 2 dozen rockets, on Kabul that killed at least 8 people. Taliban denied responsibility for the attack while the Islamic State group did claim the attack.
Syria -
See Israeli airstrike above.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of the World Health Organization (WHO) tweeted that social lockdown and other current measures will not end with the distribution of vaccines for the wuhan virus. He stated -
“A vaccine on its own will not end the COVID19 pandemic. We will still need to continue:
-Surveillance
-Testing, isolating & caring for cases
-Tracing & quarantining contacts
-Engaging communities
-Encouraging individuals to be careful”
Pretty clear, by moving the goalposts they want to continue the controls of humanity and keep them scared/cowered.
Some numbers now suggest that infection rates are declining in all states except Nebraska and New Mexico.
There is also reportedly a flare up in china of the virus affecting millions in the cities of Tianjin, Shanghai and Manzhouli
Economy -
Hyperinflation versus deflation - economist continue to argue which will develop as the economy continues to struggle against wuhan derived shutdowns.
2020 Election-
Sidney Powell was officially released from the Trump legal team yesterday. It is unclear to me the extent that she will continue to participate in voter fraud cases. This is not a good sign to me to have such a heavy weight lawyer of her high reputation being set aside. Follow on messages by both sides didn’t clarify matters either. The clock is ticking and there are no big lawsuits pending - except for an appeal in PA. If the Trump campaign has the goods, they need to get it in court this week as there is only about 3 weeks to final vote certification.
CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Things continue at a relative calm pending resolution of the Trump challenges to the elections. This doesn’t mean it is over by any means under a potential biden administration. The marxist BLM/Antifa axis is pushing for its agenda and pay back from biden. They are also in data / intel gathering mode - expect them to target Trump supporters under biden. How violent the targeting will be is still being assessed. But as their media/hollywood mouthpieces continue to demand prison and even death sentences for Trump supporters this could get nasty.
Strategic Deployments -
The U.S. military deployed B-52 bombers to the Middle East Saturday, conducted on “short notice” to “deter aggression and reassure U.S. partners and allies.” It marks the first B-52 mission to the Middle East in several months. It is unclear where the B-52H bombers went in the Middle East Saturday, but they left from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.
Russia -
United States withdrew from Open Skies treaty with Russia. Warning was given 6 months ago. The past three administrations have identified and reported on Russian breaches of the treaty. In the 0bama adminstrations’ final annual Open Skies Treaty compliance report, released in the spring of 2016, it said, “Russia continues not to meet its treaty obligations to allow effective observation of its entire territory, raising serious compliance concerns.” It added that U.S. efforts to discuss the problems “have not resolved any of the compliance concerns.”
Taiwan -
A US admiral reportedly visited Taiwan on Sunday (Reuters). China responded that the visit upset the delicate nature of the current situation and would take legitimate and necessary responses as they see fit. Over the past several months, the administration has increased visits and commitments to Taiwan as a counter to China.
Israel -
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu travelled secretly yesterday to the city of Neom in Saudi Arabia and had a trilateral meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Israeli source tells me. Netanyahu’s office didn’t deny the story. May indicate a normalization agreement is close. Also sends a message to Iran and Biden that the two major anti-Iran countries in the region are working on a united front against the mullahs.
Internal disputes between Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organization over the PA’s renewal of talks with Israel. Fatah complaining that they are being increasingly excluded from Abbas’ decision making processes. This schism also is seen as growing along with a similar one between the PA and Hamas.
Saudi Arabia -
Reports claim a Quds-2 cruise missile launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen has hit an Aramco distribution station in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A storage tank was reportedly damaged by the blast.
Iraq -
“The truce with the Americans has ended due to its conditions not being met,” Qais al-Khazali, leader of the Iranian-backed Shiite militia group Asaib Ahl Al-Haq, said in an interview with Iraqi state media on November 19, Kurdish news agency Rudaw reported on Friday. This announcement interfaces with recent shoot and scoot rocket attacks against the US and allied facilities in the Green Zone. I expect to see a continuation of almost nightly attacks using small numbers of rockets to keep nightly tensions high.
