T-minus 2 days and counting . . . .
Wuhan Virus -
CDC data analysis indicates that over 100,000 have died due to the lockdown between the ages of 25 and 44 (this group only accounts for 3% of wuhan related deaths). Increased drug overdoses, and delayed medical screenings will contribute even more avoidable deaths.
Nearly 300 Israelis got infected with wuhan only days after receiving their vaccination shot (Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine).
Economy -
Mixed projections by different sectors for 2021. Much depends on how quickly the economy will be allowed to open up. A biden Administration, from what they’ve been announcing, looks ready to inflict deeper damage than at its worst from last summer. Many globalists see the necessity of destroying economies (especially the US) as a necessary precursor to implement the new economy of the ‘Great Reset’.
2020 Election-
Yesterday’s release of a heavily edited audio of a discussion between President Trump and GA SoS hit the streets with vengeance, full MSM shrillness. However, WaPo is covering its arse already with the whole, unedited audio - realizing that their charges won’t stand and likely because the release by the GA SoS was highly and completely illegal. The conversation, in context, tells a much different story than what WaPo released.
GA has also been in the sights of Project Veritas, and rumors are that video/audio of election illegalities will hit the street starting today.
Democrat VP nominee, Kamala Harris, was sworn back in as a US senator Sunday. Wonder how much confidence the democrats have in the election “results”.
CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Karma continues to hound Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. After facilitating BLM/Antifa destruction and terror and driving dozens of police officers away from the force, he finds himself trying to stop that which he has condoned. This will not end well for law abiding citizens of Portland.
As plans continue for the Jan 6th rally in DC, leftists continue to try to throw monkey wrenches into logistical needs to prevent/minimize participation. The biggest is the attempt to close hotels to Trump supporters. So far only one hotel has succumbed to the threats. This tactic is a double edge sword by preventing BLM/Antifa elements outside of the DC metro area access to join their counter protesting marxists. Violence from the left is a certainty. I have concerns about the safety of the President with not only that in view, but Iran’s recent threats on his life.
Strategic Developments /Deployments -
In a reversal, acting Defense Secretary Miller announces that he has ordered the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz “to halt its routine redeployment” from the Middle East “ due to the recent threats issued by Iranian leaders against President Trump and other US government officials”. It is to stay on station in the Arabian Gulf.
MY OBSERVATION - wasn’t the best idea to remove / redeploy the carrier in the first place until it could be replaced on station. There may be new intel on Iranian actions and the CSG has assets that can deal with Iranian naval assets, freeing USAF assets to strike better targets.
Two Iron Dome defense system batteries have been delivered to the US Army by Israel. It should provide coverage between the Patriot system and lighter, shorter ranged air defense systems already out there.
Israel -
Prime Minister Netanyahu says Iran’s decision to enrich uranium to 20% in an underground facility “has no explanation other than that it is continuing to carry out its plans to develop a military nuclear program.” He adds: “Israel will not allow Iran to produce nuclear weapons”
Iran - Date to remember, January 3d - anniversary of the death of Soleimani.
NOTE - memorial protests for Soleimani are done, doesn’t mean that the window for a potential retaliatory attack as closed. Asymetrical warfare by Iran is its signature move in the region via its numerous proxies.
News reports indicate a South Korean flagged Chemical Tanker HANKUK CHEMI has been detained by Iranian forces while inbound to Fujairah. Iranian claim that the tanker was ‘polluting’ the gulf. This is probably an effort to increase its pressure on South Korea to release billions of dollars of oil-export revenue, arguing that Seoul is buckling to pressure from its U.S. ally and illegally withholding funds needed to counter the Middle East’s worst coronavirus outbreak. The wuhan angle is cover, they need the money for military purposes.
Iranian government spokesman stated “Fordow nuclear facility has started the Uranium enrichment at 20% as Rouhani ordered it a few days ago”. This increases the threat of an Israeli/US action greatly. May be a reason the Nimitz’s redeployment was halted.
UAE intelligence agencies have arrested an Iranian squad in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on suspicion of plotting to carry out attacks in the Kingdom against Israelis.
They should have. That is the way a vaccine works. It gives whoever gets it a light case of whatever they are being vaccinated for so their bodies can produce anti bodies. A vaccine does not heal shit. It was not designed to.

Wuhan Virus -
The FDA joined The WHO and Dr.Fauci in admitting there is a notable risk of false results from the standard PCR-Test used to define whether an individual is a COVID “Case” or not. The reported numbers are so skewed that it can’t be unscrambled. Basically, positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab.
Economists projected that excess deaths resulting from the economic strain of the pandemic will amount to 900,000 over the next 15 years. “We find that increases in unemployment are followed by statistically significant increases in death rates and declines in life-expectancy,” concluded researchers in a new paper circulated Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Britain has entered its 3d lockdown, this one until mid-February.
2020 Election-
Again, warning that there is a lot of disinformation and misinformation on the interwebs/social media. A lot of big claims being made - please verify from independent sources first.
GA Senate runoffs coming to a head and observers believe it will be very close with a high likelyhood of corruption. Polls indicated no clear leaders. Loss of both seats would make the senate 50/50 with a potential VP Harris providing the 51st vote for democrats agendas.
Project Veritas released a new video today exposing the Executive Director for Atlanta’s Central Outreach and Advocacy Center (COAC), Kimberly Parker, admitting to the organization’s routine practice of registering homeless people to vote using the same address.
“So, the majority of the people we serve don’t have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they register to vote and to get Georgia State ID,” Parker said.
The state of Wisconsin has posted the bill that is to be introduced Thursday morning to decertify the state’s electoral college votes and award them to President Trump. Thursday, barring any surprises on Wednesday, will be a day late and a dollar short.
CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Leftist “Shut Down DC” is actively protesting outside of hotels in the Alexandria VA area where Trump supporters are reportedly staying ahead of the Stop the Steal Rally. Observers note that in leftist chat rooms discussions on violence for Jan 6 are up.
WARNING - Intel still showing that BLM/Antfa is continuing to expand its plans to infiltrate the rally tomorrow with a high probability of violence. Those headed there to DC need to keep their heads on swivels and be in groups, dressed properly for action.
In advance of the Stop the Steal rally, DC has mobilized some of the National Guard to take over some police functions, allowing more cops to be available to deal with any violence. NG will be unarmed and without protective gear. Also of note are the numerous warnings directed towards Pro Trump attendees concerning being armed, while turning a blind eye to the demonstrated armament of the left. Store fronts are boarding up in anticipation of violence.
Oath Keepers, and similar groups, have called for emergency assemblies of militias outside of DC if needed and called upon by the President tomorrow. Like the left, patriot groups are focusing on potential constitutional responses to the Congressional electoral certifications on Wednesday.
The general democrat party may think that they have BLM/Antifa et al on a leash, but their leadership (ideological, and tactical) have other things to say. Recently Noam Chomsky said that government has allowed the concentration of wealth among mega corporations and this will fuel a further class struggle. HIs words indicate that further disruptions will be designed to force a biden administration and congress to the far left. Some of this planned push is indicated by BLM/Antifa preparation for jan 20 (aka J20) as they continue to make logistical plans for travel, food, legal aid, first aid, etc. Fliers for the J20 protest/riots feature profanity laden comments towards biden and others call for vandalization of politicians - democrats included. An example directed against republicans, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said late Monday that “Antifa scumbags” arrived at his Washington, D.C., home and threatened his wife and newborn daughter while he was in his home state of Missouri. “They screamed threats, vandalized, and tried to pound open our door,” he said.
BOTTOM LINE - the marxist left plans to continue to push violence as a means to their ends of completely removing the government and replacing it with a radical communist system - no matter who is in the WH or congress. They appear to be planning a continuation of 2020’s level of violence and expanding it.
MY OBSERVATIONS - It is an understatement to say that the next couple weeks will make or break this country. Regardless of the outcome of tomorrows congressional meeting, 2021 will continue to be violent. If biden gets selected, the left will begin a campaign of retribution to destroy any Trump support, feeling free to do so without retribution or punishment from the democrats. The right will see that the country has been corrupted and stolen and that they have no other options but to go to the bullet box because the left has destroyed the soap box and ballot box.
Strategic Developments /Deployments -
USAF reports that it is having trouble keeping the B1 bomber fleet operationally ready. In part, end of life cycle structural concerns (air frame cracks, etc), parts availability and other system problems have caused low numbers of ready aircraft.
Cyber Warfare -
Word has come out that Russian intelligence allegedly used computers within the U.S. to conduct a previously known massive cyberattack against several federal government agencies. By doing so, they bypassed NSA authority and monitoring. NYT reported the extent of the cyberattack now was estimated to have been much larger than originally expected. The Russians accessed about 250 U.S. networks, including Fortune 500 companies and several government agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury Department and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
China -
NYSE has reversed its decision to delist three chinese telecom companies. NYSE spokesperson Farrell Kramer declined to comment on what had changed in relation to compliance with the executive order. But Kramer referred Axios to a stock exchange statement saying that “in light of further consultation” it no longer intends to move forward with the delisting action.” “NYSE Regulation will continue to evaluate the applicability of Executive Order 13959 to these Issuers and their continued listing status.” Yesterday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Saturday reacted to the NYSE’s original announcement by saying it would take “necessary measures” to protect China’s companies, per Reuters.
Iran -
With the anniversary of soleimani’s death in the rear view mirror it doesn’t mean the US and Israel are out of the woods yet. Iran is not dumb enough to plan retribution on a specific, declared date, and has reserved for itself the ‘right’ to pick the time and place of its choosing. I don’t think its likely to do anything as long as Trump is president. The risk skyrockets if / when biden becomes president.
A South Korean destroyer has approached the area where the cargo ship was captured yesterday. It is part of an anti-piracy unit operating in the area. No more details on actions of SK destroyer given “considering they are operating for the safety of our citizens”. South Korean Foreign Ministry says SK vessel detained by Iran is now in Bandar Abbas port. Another SK FM rep is supposed to be enroute to Iran.
Iran is scheduled to conduct a major drone exercise today. Scheduled to last two days.
FOLLOW UP - I mentioned earlier that Iran has announced it is progressing to 20% uranium purification and how this shortens the time to nuclear capable uranium supplies. Previous estimates by authorities was that the the current, max purification level of 5%, it would take about 6 months to attain weapons grade materials. The amount of time to go from 20% to weapons grade is a low as 6 weeks. Many consider Iran’s close work with North Korea may have provided them with the technical know how to speed the development of a device once weapons grade uranium is available. Covert support from Pakistan may also shorten the time frame.
