Wuhan virus -
Nearly 252 million wuhan “vaccine” shots have been given to date in the US.
Cuomo has directed that Yankee Stadium and Citi Field respectively, will have separate seating for vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. All will be required to wear masks.
Heat on the CDC head - Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) called for Centers for Disease Control (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky to resign Wednesday after reports suggest she allowed teachers union officials to influence school guidance on reopening.
Britain is concerned about the India variant B.1.617.2 which has now been detected across England with the highest levels in London and the North West.
Biden is backing a plan to shred intellectual property protections for American entities that developed vaccines as the pandemic raged. Chinese-run state “media” are applauding the announcement that will hand their communist government American technology

Globalism / Great Reset -
Gun Owners of America has obtained and supplied AmmoLand News with copies of the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) User Manual. When a licensed gun dealer (FFL) runs a gun buyer through NICS, the system checks four (4) databases. These databases are Interstate Identification Index (III), NICS Index, ICE Database, and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). Located in NCIC data is INTERPOL’s Foreign Fugitive File (FFF).
According to the unredacted copy of the NICS User Guide, the FBI employee doesn’t stop the transfer of the firearm at your local gun shop. After the sale is complete, the FBI representative will request the buyer’s address and personal information with a call to the FFL, who is compelled to cooperate. The FBI will then pass along the address, and possibly other private information, of the person who legally purchased a firearm to INTERPOL.
OBSERVATION - this is a slick method of creating a database of gun owners that FBI/DOJ is forbidden by law to establish. Once this information leaves the US, international jurisdictions have NO prohibitions on creating a database that FBI/DOJ can later turn around and use against US citizens. Now you can see why they want Universal Background Checks so bad.
Banks are moving more to supporting Bitcoin. Banks have noticed an increase in funds being withdrawn and sent to Coinbase, so they’ve begun to recognize the value they could create if they offered Bitcoin on their own platforms. Ultimate goal is to replace Bitcoin (that they cannot monitor or control) with another electronic currency.

Economy -
Chinese exports to the US increased 49.3% since the first of the year.
The world risks “running out of copper” amid widening supply and demand deficits, according to Bank of America, and prices could hit $20,000 per metric ton by 2025. Copper is currently at a 9+year high with even greater demand forecast.
The U.S. economy gained a disappointing 266,000 jobs last month, despite widespread forecasts that predicted a number that would top 1 million, according to the latest monthly employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Shakey legs indicating that there is a long way to go before things even come close to being normal.
Economists continue to view into their crystal balls to discern if we will be having inflation, hyperinflation, deflation or even stagflation. Right now high inflation is the reality, and economy is struggling with continued disruptions, shortages and wuhan interference. If we get hit with another black swan event, things will likely implode.

Invasion of Illegals -
During April, more than 177,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended by Border Patrol, according to preliminary Customs and Border Protection (CBP) numbers. An additional 42,620 illegal aliens escaped arrest by Border Patrol, which are known as “gotaways.” - a total of 219,620 for April alone (remember most of those caught will be released to the US.

A group calling itself the Black Hammer reportedly has “liberated” 200 acres in the mountains of Colorado. They are self-proclaimed anti-colonizers, planning to create an ethno, communist state for black & brown people. They’re currently trying to raise $500k for earth bag home construction.
Asians continue to be violently assaulted across the US, and the primary perpetrators are blacks. MSM silent because it doesn’t support the narrative.
BLM/Antifa took to the streets of North Portland on Thursday, in a march for Patrick Kimmons, who was shot by police in 2018 after a gang shootout on the streets late at night. Lead by two support vehicles, they terrorized any citizen who’s vehicle they were able to trap. Twice on videos, multiple participants pulled AR-15s, AK-47s, pistols, and possibly a shotgun and/or Keltec Sub 2000 on motorists who happened be driving along. One minivan’s tires were flattened, had its back window busted out, and at least one mirror broken. Another guy was in a big pickup truck, and he was apparently drawing his own gun (he was foolish enough to exit his truck only to get a beat down and his gun stolen).
Garrett Rolfe, the Atlanta police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks last summer, has been reinstated to his job, apparently with back pay. The Atlanta Civil Service Board reinstated Rolfe. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms essentially confirmed Rolfe was not afforded his right to due process, citing the “volatile state of our city and nation last summer.” “Had immediate action not been taken, I firmly believe that the public safety crisis we experienced during that time would have been significantly worse.” In essence he was fed to the wolves to appease the mob.
NOTE - I expect a strong uptick in protests/rioting in Atlanta over the weekend.

China -
Continued Chinese aircraft penetrating into Tiawan’s air defense zone. Now a daily event.
The rocket booster is continuing to loose altitude, causing warnings that it could re-enter some time this weekend. Only good thing is that chances are 70% it will reenter over water.
Honeywell execs were caught sending sensitive information to China on various systems including F22 an F35 “engineering prints showing dimensions, geometries, and layouts for manufacturing castings and finished parts for multiple aircraft, gas turbine engines, and military electronics.”

North Korea -
South Korea to kick off biennial integrated defense drill next week. N K is not amused and has issued vocal protests.
The Biden administration recently announced it had completed its North Korea policy review. Rumors are that the WH will take a “calibrated practical approach” and is “open to diplomacy” . However, much of what is being discussed is pretty soft and no hard policy measures have yet presented themselves.
biden will be in S K on May 21 to meet with his counterpart, President Moon Jae-in. Some suspect N K will launch some kind of provocations (missile launches) in protest.

Ukraine -
U.S. officials have said that Russia has only withdrawn a few thousand troops. 80,000 troops still remain near the border of Ukraine. Equipment/armor vehicles have been left at forward points.
NOTE - this brings into question the size of the initial Russian deployment. Reports at the time indicated approximately 150,000 were deployed to the border. This would suggest that instead of limited withdrawal stated by the US officials, they have actually pulled out half of the deployed forces.
____________________________________
Israel -
Hamas affiliated militant group Sons of Zawari have announced they have started their operations again with the message “This is just the beginning” as 3 fires are reported in Eshkol Regional Council, Israel. The militant group “specializes” in what I would say is “economical warfare” using methods to launch IEDs/flammable materials via balloons into Israel to burn crops, farmland, and wildfire parks. Militant Group “Grandsons of Nasser” affiliated to PRC’s (Popular Resistance Committees) Military Wing, al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades have joined in with Zawari in their activities, at least 8 fires being reported today.
Israeli security forces are on high-alert after the threats of Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing, and the recent demonstrations and tensions in Sheikh Jarrah, KAN reported on Thursday. Another contributor to the attentiveness of Israeli security forces is the fact that this Friday is the last Friday of Ramadan.

Open-source satellite imagery has revealed the suspected development of a new missile base near Haji Abad in Iran, possibly the first hardened launch site intended specifically for solid-fuel ballistic missiles.
European and American officials reportedly saying Biden administration wants Iran to roll back activities to 2015 level, but Tehran doesn’t want to give up advanced centrifuges.
NOTE - Iran will keep its advanced centrifuges either way, covertly or overtly.

Black Swans -
At an international space conference, attendees took part in an exercise that imagined an asteroid crashing into Earth. Bottom line - we are all dead. No heroic astronauts flying off to divert the asteroid or swarm nuclear missiles to pulverize it.
Wuhan virus -
Cancer screenings were a deadly victim of the wuhan plandemic. Many hospitals/medical facilities eliminated them in 2020, calling them non-essential. Others stayed away in fear of catching wuhan. The bill is now coming due as cancer rates are starting skyrocket.
Media and celebrities continue to berating the un-vaxxed in an effort to increase numbers. Other methods are resorting to bribing those who don’t want the shot. The credibility of the medical community - primarily the policy and rule makers - has taken a severe hit and this isn’t going to help.
Pfizer and Moderna pseudo vaccines are being called out by some in the medical community because the can also cause blood clots.

The Canadian government is set to make Wuhan vaccine passports mandatory for travelers entering the country. This includes Americans who want to cross the border. Canadian Minister of Health Patty Hajdu said the country would “absolutely” take part in a vaccine passport program. He also confirmed that it was currently in talks with other Group of Seven (G7) nations regarding the rollout of a unified vaccine passport scheme.
A federal court in the Northern District of California entered an order today authorizing the IRS to serve a John Doe summons on Payward Ventures Inc., and Subsidiaries d/b/a Kraken (Kraken) seeking information about U.S. taxpayers who conducted at least the equivalent of $20,000 in transactions in cryptocurrency during the years 2016 to 2020. The IRS is seeking the records of Americans who engaged in business with or through Kraken, a digital currency exchanger headquartered in San Francisco, California.
OBSERVATION - As I’ve been pointing out, the govt cannot control and monitor activities of crypto currency and these are first steps to bring them under govt’s thumb.

Economy -
Job report was so bad that even the leftist Chamber of Commerce is calling for the end of the unemployment bonus. Many red states are taking charge and eliminating the unemployment benefit, changing it to a work bonus like Montana. Unemployment rate increased to 6.1%. Yellen said Friday that the extra unemployment compensation funds were not a factor that made a difference in last month’s jobs numbers. As noted above, many disagree with her.

DOJ moving on regulations to declare components of DIY “ghost guns” as weapons - requiring serial numbers and background checks.
Kalifornia is looking to reduce the punishment for gun crimes under there guise of saying laws against using guns in the commission of crimes disproportionately affect people of color. Remember, they want the public disarmed. Eric Siddall, vice president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys of Los Angeles County (ADDA) makes it clear - “In essence, the bill decriminalizes the use of a firearm in California for the most severe, most violent felonies,” Siddall told The Daily Wire. “What this bill would do is encourage violent criminals to use guns during their crime because the penalty is so insignificant.”
Liberal “blue” cities are suffering from a huge shortage of police officers. This is the cumulative result of anti-police policies of the city leaders, no support to the police when facing last years (and even this years) riots and work conditions. This is leading to skyrocketing murder rates, gang violence and a reduction in police response to ‘lesser’ crimes. Alinski at work.

An estimated 800 paratroopers with the 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team will parachute into Estonia Friday night, weather permitting. The jump is one of three brigade-size jumps over the next several days in which a total of 7,000 paratroopers from the United States and 10 other nations will conduct a joint forcible entry exercise called Swift Response at each of the landing sites in Estonia, Bulgaria and Romania.
Two additional US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress aircraft from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, arrived at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, on Tuesday as the US Forces and NATO ramp up the troops’ withdrawal process from Afghanistan.

Russia - MAINTAINING WATCH
Ukraine President says only 3,500 Russian soldiers left Crimea after withdrawal. These are much smaller numbers than Russia is claiming. Sharp increases in ceasefire violations have been occurring over the past couple days. Observers note that separatists and Russian forces have forward deployed some armor closer to the border and out of the assembly areas created by the recent ‘exercise’.

Israel -
Violent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police throughout Jerusalem. One large riot at the Al-Aqsa Mosque resulted in massive clearing of muslims from the site. Hundreds reportedly hurt. Many rioters on the Temple mount waved Hamas flags and chanted “We are all Hamas, waiting for your orders commander Mohammed Deif. Hamas — shoot a rocket at Tel Aviv tonight,” Friday marked the end of the month of Ramadan - a common kick off day for riots by muslims.
Israeli security preempted a terrorist attack when it stopped a bus carrying illegal workers that had three terrorists embedded with them. They tried to shoot it out with security and lost.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas cancelled the elections and now is encouraging Palestinians to begin to engage Israeli security that has resulted in one of the more violent Ramadan periods in recent years. Abbas is trying to bolster his crumbling position and credibility by stirring up violence. Old trick.

Iran -
A massive fire broke out in Iran’s southwestern city of Bushehr near the Islamic Republic’s only functioning nuclear power plant late on Friday night, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Saturday. The cause of the fire is still unknown, according to Iranian media reports, but expect blaming the Israelis.

Iraq -
Al-Arabiya reporting 2 drones have targeted the Ain Al-Assad airbase in Iraq which houses US soldiers, 1 drone reportedly was shot down.
OBSERVATION - This would be a new tactic. In the past it was the park and shoot tactic. This is a more deliberate attack method.

Black Swans -
Fear mongering as some think the recent earthquake swarm in Yellowstone ( more than 40 earthquakes in April) indicates that the supervolcano is about to erupt. The science is that these swarm are routine and closely monitored to see if they indicate movement of magma or just a result of what come geologists call ‘breathing’ of the volcano - the periodic rising and falling of portions of the caldera. Don’t loose sleep over Yellowstone, there are far too many real threats out there.
