Wuhan virus -
One year since the ‘pandemic’ was declared by WHO. A year that the left and globalists seized to throw our country and way of life into turmoil.
Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, and Italy have now opted to halt use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. This follows incidents involving blood clots in patients who recently received the vaccine. Two incidents were reported in Austria, although Vienna is allowing the vaccine to continue to be used, at least for now. Serious cases of blood clots have been reported in Denmark and other countries as well.

Economy -
Continued concern by some economists about inflation getting out of control. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was up 0.4% in February, and up 1.7% from a year ago. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) is up 1.5% from a year ago. Both of these numbers remain under the Federal Reserve’s 2% target rate, but that’s likely to change later this year. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers remain concerned that inflation will rise considerably above 2%. Summers said that the Fed is making the same mistakes that it made in the late 1960s, where inflation ran away to 6%. However, there are elements that have actually deflated in price, such as airline fares and motel/hotel lodging, etc, due to wuhan shutdowns. Even inflation in food prices has fallen, on average, from an annualized high of 4.5% in June 2020 to 3.6% in February 2021.
MY OPINION - Folks, Im not an economic wizard nor claim to be. Hyperinflation threats have been shouted by some economists for several years now and getting louder in the year of wuhan. As with much of our economy, things are in a delicate way and if we get hit by another event, things may cease to hold together. On the long term, with biden killings jobs right and left, it may still get here, just at a slower rate.
Biden signed the wuhan sweet and sour porkulus bill yesterday.

More evidence that biden has lost control of the border, a NASA site in California is being considered as a potential location to house the growing number of migrants coming across the border, according to sources briefed on the plans.
Sources told ABC News that plans are still in flux, but the site, Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, is expected to house a number of unaccompanied minors in Customs and Border Protection custody. Also noted previously, military facilities in the east are also on the list to receive illegals.
The president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents roughly 20,000 Border Patrol agents, said the public should be “very concerned” and asserted that if the increase continues, the Border Patrol will apprehend more people in 2021 than in any previous year in its history.

Biden watch -
Last night was the long awaited address to the nation. As some here on FR noted - Jimmy Carters’ “Malaise” speech was far more positive. He is offering to free the country by July 4th from wuhan (that is as long as we continue to be repressed by the scientific/health elite and stay on the plantation). I checked some of the MSM outlets, their articles appeared to be some what subdued, with CNN by far being the biggest cheerleader. NY/LA Times only had a small headline (on the web). There were no major gaffs noted, other than the whole speech appeared to be underwhelming and lacked some coherency.
May I have some more freedom, please

Oklahoma passed a law protecting drivers caught in violent road riot/protests if they hit those rioters in an attempt to flee the situation. Similar laws have been working across the country. The marxist/progressive democrats that opposed the Oklahoma bill say they should be addressing systematic racism, etc. However, the public caught or fearing of being caught in one of these traps see it otherwise.
MY OBSERVATION - Remember from my posts last year that BLM/Antifa evolved their road blockage/riot tactics with time. Now it is their preference to include ‘chase’ teams, consisting of bikes/motorcycles/vehicles down the street from the blockage who’s purpose is to chase down and block any vehicle that pushes through a road block. This permits the crowd to catch up and further assault the occupants. Their blockage doctrine/tactic is also independent from their main riots. This builds upon the fact that police are focused on the main rioting and not other areas, permitting smaller groups to block roads and terrorize citizens.
Judge Cahill’s ordered the reinstatement of the third-degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin. This may or may not create an eventual delay in the start of the trial (apart from the jury selection). Third degree murder is a much easier charge for the prosecutors to get since the standards are lower.
Earlier I noted that the physical barriers surrounding the Portland Federal Courthouse were being removed. Well BLM/Antifa wasted little time resuming attacks on the facility. Though a relatively small group, they tried to force their way into the building, set trash cans on fire and threatened security/police presence.
MY OBSERVATION - this was probably a probing attack to evaluate any changes to security and response made to account for the barriers being lifted. BTW - this occurred during the day when the facility was in operation - thus by biden administration standards this should be considered to be a ‘TERRORIST’ attack.

POLITICAL FRONT -
The first of a series of draconian bills targeting the Second Amendment has passed out of the House and headed to the senate. HR 8 will expand background checks to all gun sales as well as other measures that will do absolutely nothing to stop crime. Further, it will set a national registry for guns. The other bill give authorities 10 business days for federal background checks to be completed before a gun sale can be licensed. Concern about this bill is language that infers that the FBI can indefinitely suspend reporting without cause, blocking all purchases.

Israel -
According to the WSJ, Israel has targeted at least 12 vessels bound for Syria, mostly all carrying Iranian oil, out of a concern that the profits were funding extremism in the Middle East, according to U.S. and regional allies. Israeli campaign at sea has taken place over ~2 years.
NOTE - haven’t heard much about this. Any explosions should have hit global news, like the limpet mine attacks in the Persian Gulf region. Fake propaganda? IDK, but is within Israeli capabilities .

Iran -
The United States and Iran will soon begin to hold informal talks to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program and the steps necessary to return to the 2015 nuclear deal, the New York Times reported Thursday. American and European diplomats told the Times that the talks could begin in the coming weeks.
MY OBSERVATIONS - Iran will continue to use these talks as a smoke screen while it ramps up its nuclear program. They will make huge demands, like their multi Trillion dollar demand for reparations, etc to keep negotiations off balance as well as out right lie about other concessions. Since January, the Iranians have installed dozens of advanced centrifuges, threatened to enrich uranium at a 40 percent or 60 percent level, restricted accesses for IAEA inspectors, began producing uranium metal and tested a ballistic missile in disguise as a satellite launch.

Wuhan virus -
A World Health Organization expert advisory committee is currently looking at AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after some countries paused distribution of it, but there is no reason not to use it, a spokeswoman said on Friday. However, the WHO was still encouraging the use of the drug even while under review.
In the US, over 100 million ‘vaccine’ doses have been administered. Of that, about 35 million ‘fully’ vaccinated (both shots).
Michigan prosecutors investigating hundreds of complaints over Gov Whitmer’s wuhan nursing home policies.
Good ol Dr Fauci is making more waves by admitting that health and govt officials have been essentially swagging it with travel advisories and other actions. This was in regard to CDC guidance on if it is safe for those who’ve recieved both vaccination shots to travel.

Globalism / Great Reset -
MY OBSERVATIONS -
Driving a global economic collapse in order to usher in the great reset is fraught with consequences these insulated elites apparently have failed to consider. In today’s society, we do not have the depths of moral fortitude our parents did during the Great Depression. Separate them from their internet and smart phones and they melt down quickly. But deeper still the overall societal collapse that will occur just so these elites can create order out of chaos. Economic collapse will cut food production/processing - with associated hunger in the US (and the rest of the world we feed) as farmers and ranchers will be unable to have access to the money needed to produce. They will be further hampered by loss of reliable chemicals and even the fuels for their fields and equipment as those sectors buckle. Violent crime will increase, overwhelming the police. We are already seeing that in the blue metropolitan areas of the nation and yes, even in pockets of red states. This will make travel dangerous not only for individuals, but the massive trucking network that bring essential goods to our cities. Health care will falter and death rates will climb. This is gloomy, but is necessary to break us out of our normalcy bias and make proper preparations now. This trend will eventually grow to apocalyptic proportions.

Sec Treasury Yellen has stated that taxes will rise as money is needed for “priorities”. I think by now we realize what those “priorities” are and that they are not designed to help the American people or grow the economy.

Invasion of Illegals -
Optics and reports are causing even chucky schumer to tell biden to get the border under control. This comes after even WAPO and CNN admit the border is out of control - CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria admits Joe Biden’s border crisis and the wider issues with asylum in America are “out of control.” The tone of the article is nothing less than scathing, as American liberals come to grips with the massive numbers flooding the borders after being invited by Biden and the left. NPR has chimed in saying that illegal “migrant” kids are being kept in crude facilities because the system is overwhelmed.
OBSERVATION - Videos of hundreds of illegals crossing into the US combined with other reports of the administration scrambling for facilities to house the tens of thousands is unnerving the democrats who recognize this was one of the key issues that caused Trump to win the first time and if republicans get their act together, could bite really hard come midterm elections. But that won’t help the chaos on the border any time soon.

Biden watch -
Even leftist news overseas is reporting what our MSM refuse to say. From the UK Telegraph - “Joe Biden’s decline has change into so painful to see and so embarrassing to observe that it feels merciless to say it. But it’s much more merciless that Biden’s crew act as if it’s not taking place, and most of America’s media look the opposite manner.
“On Thursday night time, Biden marked the primary anniversary of the Covid-19 shutdowns and his fiftieth day within the White House by giving the primary televised tackle of his presidency. He hadn’t been seen in public for 3 days, which is what he appears to require if he’s to not unravel before the cameras. From the second he wheezed as much as the lectern and peered into the digital camera, you could possibly inform Biden was on high type: croaky sentiment, sporadic belligerence, and solely the occasional second when he regarded oddly distant and perplexed, as if he didn’t perceive the phrases he was studying. He received by twenty minutes, then tottered off with out taking any questions or falling over his canine. This is how low the bar now is for Biden. And we will see how onerous Biden has to combat, and what an extended run-up he requires, if he is to clear it. We can see it in his battle to comply with the straightforward strains on his autocue, and in his bungling of the best ad-libs. We see it within the clips of his more and more determined handlers attempting to dam him from questions at his uncommon and punctiliously managed appearances before the cameras. Most of all, we see it in his eyes.”

Minneapolis just settled with the Floyd family for 27 million, largest ever before a criminal trial. Some indicate the this could bias the jury even more against Chauvin.
Another night, another Portland riot. Last night (Friday) police surrounded and detained about 100 rioters in the city’s NW Pearl District. The detention was on site and rioters were forbidden to leave during an “investigation of a crime” following vandalism of the district. Rioters were eventually released one at a time. NOTE - news report states that this is the first time police have used this perimeter tactic against BLM/Antifa. This new tactic may have caught riot leaders off guard. Given the relatively small number of protestors, it seems to be efficient for now. The size of last summer’s riots wound be too great for similar tactics absent massive police and NG support. Rest assured that the insurgent leadership will be devising ways to counter this tactic.
Sen Feinswine introduced gun ban legislation that targets 205 different kinds of rifles and shot guns. At this stage, unless schumer goes nuclear, there are not enough votes to get past a filibuster.
Fox news is reporting that the General of the NG wanted to end the deployment of NG to the capitol but was overruled by the SecDefense. “Efforts to date have not secured enough volunteers among supporting states to meet the USCP (U.S. Capitol Police) request of 2,280 soldiers, nor Option B of 1000 soldiers. I am concerned that the continued indefinite nature of this requirement may also impede our ability to man future missions as both adjutants general and guardsmen alike may be skeptical about committing to future endeavors,” Gen Hokanson reportedly wrote.

Iran -
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are “unlikely foolish enough” to enter a defense pact with Israel, Iran’s former Defense Minister and Expediency Council member Brig. Gen. Ahmed Wahidi told Russian outlet RT channel on Wednesday. The statement followed a Reuters report that cited Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz as saying Israel “intends to develop a special security arrangement” with Gulf Arab allies. OBSERVATION - That sucking sound is the removal of US policy strength in the ME, forcing an association of both Israel and Arab nations to join in opposing the common threat in the region - Iran. The only one strong enough to go toe to toe with Iran is Israel, while these arab nations would be not much more than a cheering sections, though potentially providing economic support.
An Iranian container ship traveling in the Mediterranean was damaged in an attack this week, an official said Friday, calling the incident a “terrorist act.” The ship was slightly damaged by an explosive object but no one on board was hurt, Ali Ghiasi, a spokesman for state-run shipping company IRISL told semi-official Nournews, according to Reuters. Photos released by the shipping firm showed a container in the central portion of the ship discharging smoke. More recent photos show that the container had a potentially hazardous cargo of acid based toilet cleaner and other items that through a leak could have exploded.
OBSERVATION - Iran is trying to leverage the incident to bring charges against Israel, which last week it was released that they had allegedly sabotaged / attacked Iranian ships in the Med off Syria. However, it is unlikely that this is such event. Hydrochloric acid and aluminum can create such an explosion. Unless they hid a time delay explosive device, anything launched would have to have taken a high transjectory to this the cargo container in the center of the ship. One would expect an outside container to be hit - unless from a drone strike. I don’t any thing Iran publishes in this event will be objective.
