Reminder, no Tuesday post and due to construction on my house this week reports may be further sporadic. Lets hope things stay quiet for a little while.

Wuhan virus -
Fauci over the weekend said that the nation might be “close” to normal and might “approach” normal a year from now. Fauci also said it is “quite possible” that mask-wearing may be part of the “seasonal” landscape in this country. Shifting goal posts again.

Concerns rising from those who’ve received the Pfizer / Modera nRNA ‘vaccines’ and what may happen to blood supplied by donors caring those artificial virus components.

Globalism / Great Reset -
Watched part of the movie “The Pianist” yesterday, based on the Warsaw Ghetto in WW2. Reading daily the rants and raves of leftists in America, the Ghetto is a very real desire of theirs. Control, contain and kill everyone that will not bow to the progressive, socialist agenda. Watch it - serious wake up call.

Pope Francis called for universal access to coronavirus vaccines and “the temporary suspension of intellectual property rights” Saturday. “God the Creator instills in our hearts a new and generous spirit to abandon our individualisms and promote the common good,” the pope told participants in the VAX LIVE concert, “a spirit of justice that mobilizes us to ensure universal access to the vaccine and the temporary suspension of intellectual property rights.”
OBSERVATION - Funny how these ‘temporary’ suspensions of rights are developing into permanent removal.

A new wrinkle on biden’s American Families Plan calls for banks and other financial institutions to report more than just a taxpayer’s interest earned, capital gains and losses. Banks and other financial institutions would also be required to report “aggregate account outflows and inflows.” In other words, the IRS will know about all of your bank accounts, whether you earned income on that account or not, how much is in the account in a given year, and how much was transferred in and out of the account. It is unclear how this would work, but what is clear is that this new reporting obligation will create a massive compliance effort on the part of financial institutions.

Economy -
Alert - toilet paper (and other paper products) shortages are on the rise and even Costco has reduced the size of its roll. This is due in part to a wood pulp shortage and supply shortages from plants in . . . . wait for it . . . . China.

The cyber attack on Colonial Pipeline has left the east coast in serious straits. Fuel distributors have their tanks ‘full’ but if the shut down extends past Day 4 or 5, then shortages will be hitting hard with associated price spiking. BTW - today is the 4th day. U.S. Department of Transportation issued a regional emergency declaration granting drivers and carriers “relief from “Parts 390 through 399 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations . The declaration is in effect until the emergency is over or until June 8, 2021. The declaration essentially lifts limits on the transport of fuels by road. There is still no estimate of when the pipeline will be operational. Gasoline futures have jumped by 4% with potential prices by Memorial Day over $3/gallon. See cyber warfare below for more.

Invasion of Illegals -
Playing a big PR game, the biden administration is claiming that they have better control fo the border crisis, but didn’t bother to mention was the fact that the reason they had better control is that they’re playing a shell game with the illegals, moving them from overcrowded border patrol facilities to shelters operated by HHS. Those shelters — in convention centers along the border — are now even more crowded than the CBP detention centers they left. According to the NYT - “In all, over the past week, more than 21,000 children were living in shelters under government care, leaving the shelters around 80 percent full. A shelter at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas has a capacity of 2,270 — and a caseload of 1,990. The San Diego Convention Center’s 1,450 beds are all taken. The Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio is 90 children away from its 2,100 limit and announced on Friday it would stop taking in migrant children after this month. The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center is similarly full, according to the document.”
BTW harris is still AWOL from the border.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
Defender Europe 21 exercise includes a U.S. Military Sealift Command activated cargo ships shipping equipment to eastern europe nations like Albania. In this instance the 950-foot vehicle-carrier Bob Hope hauled the U.S. Army’s Florida-based 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team from Jacksonville to the port of Durres in Albania. In June, the deployment process will reverse. Ships will load up and sail back to the United States.

Cyber Warfare -
The hackers who caused Colonial Pipeline to shut down the biggest U.S. gasoline pipeline on Friday began their blitz against the company a day earlier, stealing about 100 Gigs of data before locking up the system with ransomware. The hackers have been identified as cybercrime gang called DarkSide, who’ve pulled this tactic in the past. It’s not clear how much money the attackers demanded or whether Colonial has paid.

China -
According to the Daily Mail, a China propaganda newspaper, The Global Times, has warned Australia over the Taiwan conflict Beijing has been ramping up efforts for Taiwan ‘reunification’ under ‘One China’ Newspaper said ‘long-range strikes’ should be used if Australia supports the US Chilling warning comes amid increasing tensions between Canberra and Beijing. Essentially, the warning calls for Beijing to bomb Australia if Canberra supports US military action in protecting Taiwan.

Israel -
More clashes with Palestinian rioters and Israeli police in Jerusalem, one epicenter being the Temple Mount. IDF is reportedly sending 3 battalions of troops to Judea and Samaria to reinforce the local police.
NOTE - These riots are the worst that Israel has seen in years.

Reports that the IDF has decide to reinforce the Gaza Division with additional combat troops. Likely in response to 3 rockets were fired into southern Israel from Gaza, likely representing support for the rioters and potential other supporting violence.

Israeli helicopter fired a single missile towards a target in Quneitra, Syria. 1 casualty reported. Further info not known at the moment. Quneitra is near the northern edge of the Golan.

Iran -
In late 2020 after Iran sent a Quds Force general to be the Iranian ambassador to Yemen. RUMINT now says that Iran is calling the shots for Houthi (not that this hasn’t been the case in the past, only Iran has taken this to a higher level now). A large part of this takeover is Iranian attempts to leverage the war as part of the negotiations to end economic sanctions. If Iran pulled out of Yemen the Houthi forces would be defeated, as they have many times before.

France -
Another letter, this time by active duty French soldiers, warn of civil war if France continues to give concessions to Islamic radicals in the country. The French government condemned a similar letter published by semi-retired generals late last month. The minister in charge of the armed forces, Florence Parly, said at the time that they would be punished for defying a law that forbids reservists or serving members of the military from expressing opinions in public on religion and politics.
NOTE - many parts of France are “no-go” zones from non-Islamic people and are essential ruled by Islam factions.
