Wuhan virus -
One of the key points from recent interviews with the head of the CDC are that the jab doesn’t work to prevent wuhan transmission and the vaccinated are just as contagious as the unvaccinated. In light of this admission - what good are these wuhan “passports”? Her confession is found here -
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/06/cdc-director-makes-case-vaccination-passports-are-futile-vaccines-do-not-prevent-covid-infection-or-delta-variant-transmission/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cdc-director-makes-case-vaccination-passports-are-futile-vaccines-do-not-prevent-covid-infection-or-delta-variant-transmission
NOTE - Social media took the embedded video down, but foresight placed it on rumble IIRC.
Biden continues promoting coronavirus vaccine mandates for American citizens, but the White House still struggles to explain why that standard is not applied to migrants crossing the Southern border. Psaki said that “interagency working groups” are developing a plan for international travel but did not address migrants coming across the Southern border. “Given where we are today with the Delta variant, we will plan to maintain existing travel restrictions at this point,”
OBSERVATION - What travel “restrictions”?
When asked by a reporter if there were any concerns from President Joe Biden’s administration about forcing children to wear masks in school all day, White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied, “No. There’s not.”
NOTE - This ignores the volumes of mental issues that have developed among children from the past year’s forced wearing of masks.

Globalism / Great Reset -
The military enforced lockdown in Australia has increased tensions within many communities, with residents in lower income neighborhoods feeling under siege (many are immigrants from other countries. They also complain that wealthier neighborhoods are getting preferential treatment.
Some are looking into a provision of the “Infrastructure” bill that appears to open the door to the creation of new surveillance requirements for many within the blockchain ecosystem. The proposal would seek to expand the definition of “broker” under section 6045(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include anyone who is “responsible for and regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets” on behalf of another person. These newly defined brokers would be required to comply with IRS reporting requirements for brokers, including filing form 1099s with the IRS. That means they would have to collect user data, including users’ names and addresses. At worst case, this section could bring the cryptocurrency sector under govt control and more importantly to the govt - taxation.
Important commentary on the global elites and their views of equity.

Invasion of Illegals -
The United States on Thursday began flying Central American and Mexican families to southern Mexico in an effort to deter migration by bolstering a COVID-era expulsion policy at the U.S.-Mexico border, a person familiar with the matter said. These deportation are conducted under Title 42 - the only regulation biden hasn’t replaced/cancelled from the Trump policy.

CW2/Domestic violence -
Portland Antifa attacked a prayer group Saturday using tear gas, pepper spray, and flashbangs on the group of roughly 50 men, women, and children.
The second, an Antifa direct action in Aberdeen, Wash. provoked by Transvestite council member Tiesa Meskis formerly known as Nathan Kennedy was to have occurred at Sucher & Sons Star Wars Shop. The council member was incensed about a sign in the store saying “If you are born with a d*** you are not a chick”. Vietnam vet Don Sucher has run his Star Wars shop for more than 20 years and was not backing down replying to the Antifa threat said he’d have some friends of his own to protect him. Antifa promptly went on line to postpone action.
NOTE - These were the planned Antifa attacks I warned about a couple days ago. Expect follow on violence against the Star Wars Shop owner - at a time when Antifa can muster a larger force and the owner has little time to prepare a defense.

POLITICAL FRONT -
There is a lot of smoke and rumors about democrats rethinking VP Harris’ tenure. Some are just looking at preserving her position as VP but IMHO, they are getting very scared as biden’s dementia becomes worse and he will need to step down/replaced in the near future. Until then they are keeping him drugged and propped up as a figurehead until they can figure out what to do about harris. The eventual replacement of biden and the prospect of being stuck with a very incompetent harris could create a volatile scenario within the democrat party and depending on how they handle it a severe constitutional crisis.

A new cyber gang is in town – and tapping into the best features of ransomware used in the Colonial Pipeline attack. That new gang, BlackMatter, is upfront about its origins, stating that it has “incorporated” the “best features” of DarkSide and two other kinds of ransomware, REvil and Lockbit, according to a statement from the BlackMatter group as noted by cybersecurity company Recorded Future.

North Korea -
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has mobilized the military to carry out relief work in areas recently hit by heavy rains, state media said on Sunday, amid concerns over an economic crisis and food shortage. The ruling Worker’s Party’s Central Military Commission held a meeting of its chapter in the eastern province of South Hamgyong to discuss damage and recovery from the downpour, the official KCNA news agency said. An early monsoon season arrived on the Korean peninsula last month, with torrential rains also inflicting damage in some southern regions.
OBSERVATION - Kim has been having to expend substantial finances to address the country’s economic hardships and famine that it is apparent that he has been forced to cut back on some of his strategic military programs. Examples are no further missile tests, nuclear development and the sort being reported/identified over the past couple months.

Israel -
IDF’s 179th Brigade completes readiness test for war in Lebanon, including training with attack helicopters & urban warfare drills. The armored brigade is the first reserve force to finalize battle preparations after all regular battalions finished tests.
OBSERVATION - Israel has set up its own kind of NTC for units to prepare for a Lebanese combat environment. This was in response to the poor showing from the last time Israel and Hezebollah tangled in 2006.
____________________________________
Lebanon -
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Saturday that the Lebanese group does not fear any Israeli war and is fully prepared for it. “We are fully prepared for the war and we are certain that we will win it,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech to mark the 15th anniversary of a war between Israel and Lebanon in 2006.

Afghanistan -
Initial reports that the Taliban have conquered Taloqan capital city of Takhar province. Saripul and Kunduz capitals have also allegedly fallen.
NOTE - I’m trying to get a head count of the provincial capitols the Taliban have captured. Currently RUMINT are as many as 5 have fallen.
Video of taliban forces show then to be wearing uniforms very, very similar to those worn by the Pakistani military. NOTE - Pakistan has provided support to the Taliban and AQ over the past decades.
Taliban forces were targeted by a B-52 strike in Shebergan city, Jawzjan province yesterday evening local. Initial reports are that teh Taliban there suffered heavy casualties as a result.
NOTE - Much RUMINT on the nature of the conflict and associated causalities. Much buried due to competing propaganda and should be considered suspect in many cases.

South America General-
Soybean shipments from Argentina are being severely hindered by record low levels in the Parana River, the main thoroughfare for Argentine for such shipments. The delays and increased costs involved are hitting the country’s economy hard and with global demand for soybeans high, more global shortages and higher costs there as well.

Wuhan virus -
Israel’s Health Ministry reports that Israelis who were vaccinated were reportedly 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection.
Pfizer published Wednesday a preprint indicates that its shot provides 96.2% protection for the first two months, 90.1% effectiveness between the second and fourth months, and 83.7% of protection for the fourth, fifth, and six months. “We will need a booster eight to 12 months from the second dose,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday, according to a FactSet transcript of the company’s second-quarter earnings call. “While I cannot predict with certainty the future, I would not be surprised if, similar to flu, that we would need…to boost our vaccine against COVID,” Dr. Mikhail Dolsten, Pfizer’s chief scientific officer, said. “Whether this will be on an annual [basis] or based on simple diagnostics that allow it to be boosted at the right time before your risk for infection is high, we need to monitor.”
NOTE - I don’t ever remember the medical establishment making a call for a flu booster.
Calls for boosters are heating up around the globe with one Swedish professed calling for as many as 5 boosters being required. Brings back the question If covid vaccines WORK, then why are “booster” shots needed?
Denver is threatening to “discipline” any first responder who isn’t fully vaccinated (and provable) by Sept, even going as far as firing them.

Fauci over the weekend voiced his support for mandated vaccinations, especially once FDA approves one of more of the current ‘vaccines’. His is just another voice that continues to beat the drums for 100% jabs. Yet even then, he admits that the vaccinated are as much a danger to the unvaxxed as the unvaxxed in transmitting the virus.
NOTE - Medical tyrannists reaching to keep control over the people who are fed up with their double talk and out right falsehoods in the name of ‘science’.
The Federation of State Medical Boards under president and CEO Humayun Chaudhry sent out a statement last week threatening doctors that they may lose their medical licenses if they spread “misinformation” about covid vaccines.
The Federation of State Medical Boards warned July 29 that physicians and other healthcare professionals could be at risk of losing their medical licenses if they spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on social media, online and in the media.
FSMB, a nonprofit that represents all U.S. state medical boards, said any clinicians who create or spread vaccine misinformation or disinformation risk disciplinary action by state medical boards, including suspension or revocation of their medical license, according to a statement emailed to Becker’s Hospital Review. From Becker’s Hospital Review -
“Due to their specialized knowledge and training, licensed physicians possess a high degree of public trust and therefore have a powerful platform in society, whether they recognize it or not,” FSMB said. “They also have an ethical and professional responsibility to practice medicine in the best interests of their patients and must share information that is factual, scientifically grounded and consensus-driven for the betterment of public health.”
NOTE the key term — “consensus-driven.” Also, FSMB has not yet formally defined “misinformation” or “disinformation” in its policy - so anything goes. To be effective, the globalist seeking to utilize wuhan must silence opposing narratives.
UN is claiming that the world has passed the point of no return for man caused global warming. WEF has identified global warming as a major tool with which to deconstruct the global economy an usher in its ‘reset’. As noted before, many advocate the execution of a global emergency just like what was done for wuhan, only for global warming, to force change .
There is growing concern among Tennesseans after Republican Gov. Bill Lee quietly issued an Executive Order 83 on Friday giving the state permission to call up the National Guard and State Guard “in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations.” Lee posted that this was to “reinstating certain regulatory flexibilities for our hospitals that are responding to an increase in COVID-19 cases. “ One section of Executive Order 83 would permit the construction of “temporary quarantine and isolation facilities.” “Telephone assessments for involuntary commitment cases are permitted,” the executive order also states.
NOTE - Though trying to soft pedal it, this EO does raise many potential red flags, largely due to some ambiguous terms and definitions that the medical tyrants could seize upon.

Economy -
Gold and silver prices plummeted with some slight recovery over night. Not an expert on this so any clues to why would be appreciated.
Millions of Americans are poised to lose their unemployment benefits in one month’s time, as the massive safety net that Congress put in place in the early days of the wuhan pandemic comes to an end. These benefits have been blamed by many to be the cause of massive worker shortages across the nation. Like with the ready to explode eviction ban, this aspect of govt response to the wuhan virus will likely create more economic ripples as people complain there is no child care, or wanting to go back to jobs who’s wages have been far outstripped by inflation.
OBSERVATION - This could cause a lot of civil unrest. Marxist democrats will use it as an excuse to promote permanent payments to keep the sheeple pacified.

Bethel Church’s Sean Feucht put on a worship concert Sunday evening in Portland and Antifa showed up as usual. However this time there was a serious volunteer ‘security’ team of several dozen ex police and military standing guard to prevent the disruptions seen Saturday at a prayer meeting. Tweets from antifa controllers at the event show that the security presence caught them off guard. Some materials like syringes, drugs, etc were managed to be tossed on stage, Andy Ngo reported that Antifa are observing the event from afar but have not attacked because they’re outnumbered. The did try to intimate and assault participants after the event - generally the most vulnerable time for Antifa targets.

China -
China has been conducting a large scale naval exercise in the S China Sea since Aug 7th.
Rumors are that Chinese submarines have been shadowing the British Queen Elizabeth CSG operations in and around the South China Sea. China currently has about 66 submarines, most limited to operations near the coast, though it has 6 newer Type 093 subs that can venture further into the Pacific, with 60 day solo operation capability.
Reports coming out of China indicate that it has punished a slew of officials for failing to curb a Covid-19 outbreak that’s spawned nearly 900 symptomatic infections across the country in less than a month. Millions are under strict lockdowns and have severely impacted industry and shipping components of its economy.

North Korea -
South Korea has decided to conduct the upcoming military exercise with the United States as planned despite warnings from North Korea.
NOTE - NK is in crisis mode, and I doubt they’ll do anything more than issues a stern statement. Its ground forces are half starved and on missions to help the locals.

Israel -
Some eyes are on Israel following last weeks statement that Iran is “only around 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon”, and that attack plans are in place, ready for execution. Israel’s covert attacks on uranium processing facilities did buy some time, but with the complete bungle that is biden’s foreign policy, Iran is emboldened to accelerate its efforts. Definitely a window to watch.

Lebanon -
Things are not looking good for the people of Lebanon, WSJ reports the Lebanon’s GDP plummeted from close to US$ 55 billion in 2018 to an estimated US$ 33 billion in 2020, with US$ GDP/ capita falling by around 40 percent. Such a brutal and rapid contraction is usually associated with conflicts or wars. Now, combine this with Hezebollah’s increasing readiness to start a war with Israel and you have an even greater potential disaster on your hands.
(JPost) Lebanon’s Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi called on Sunday for the Lebanese army to take control of the southern part of the country, Hezbollah’s stronghold, and strictly implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701, after recent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah.
“We call upon the Lebanese army, which is responsible with the international forces for the security of the south, to take control of the entire lands of the south, to strictly implement Resolution 1701, and to prevent the launching of missiles from Lebanese territory, not for the sake of Israel’s safety, but rather for the safety of Lebanon,” said al-Rahi during Sunday Mass, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
The head of Lebanon’s Kataeb Party and former MP, Sami Gemayel, expressed support for the patriarch on Monday, saying that the party is “convinced” that there are many Lebanese citizens who agree with the patriarch and Kataeb Party concerning sovereignty and removal of arms outside the military.
Hezbollah supporters expressed outrage at the patriarch’s comments on social media, using the hashtags “Patron of bias” and “patron of surrender.” Hezbollah-affiliated reporter Ali Shoaib addressed the patriarch in a tweet, writing “Just for once, ask the Lebanese army to prevent the Israeli attacks instead of asking it to prevent the firing of rockets!!”
NOTE - This represents a significant stepping up of the resistance to Hezebollah’s control of the country, joining the Druze in their opposition of them using civilian areas as probable launching bases for attacks as well as embedding munitions depots and operation centers where there is a high probability of civilian casualties in the event of a war. They are not stupid, they can see what islamic fanaticism has done to Gaza and Syria and don’t want it to happen to Lebanon.

Russian brokered ceasefire is largely holding in the Daraa region. However, artillery/air attacks in the southern Idlib region have picked up.

Afghanistan -
Taliban took control of Aibak town, the capital of Samangan province & captured army base in northern Afghanistan. Aybak is the 6th provincial capital captured in the past days in Afghanistan. Civilian panic is reportedly increasing and the Afghan army is largely in disarray. The rapid successes of the Taliban triggered the US and UK to issue directives last week for all citizens to get out immediately.
___________________________________
Turkey -
The trade in military equipment between Turkey and Ukraine grew in July as Turkey delivered TB2 UAVs to the Ukrainian Navy four months ahead of schedule. The Ukraine Navy will use the UAVs to patrol the Black Sea coast and the Sea of Azov, an extension of the Black Sea that Russia is trying to control access to in violation of a 2003 treaty with Ukraine that detailed who could do what in the Sea of Azov. This treaty was important for both countries because the Sea of Azov has several busy Ukrainian ports that basically handle most seaborne trade for eastern Ukraine. Turkey-Ukrainian arms trade, which has developed and grown since 2014.
OBSERVATION - Turkey is walking a fine line. First its conflicts with NATO yet aggressively supporting Ukraine - a NATO wannabe and supported by NATO to a limited extent. The second is polking the Russian bear, cooperating with them in Syria while actively opposing them in other parts of the world. Turkey’s UAVs and tactics have proven to be very effective against Russian equipment and Ukraine will benefit greatly from both the equipment and experience. The unarmed TB2s serve as a deterrent in the Dombas combat zone. Being unarmed, Russia appears reluctant to attack them. However, with their laser rangefinder and advanced GPS capability, it provides Ukraine with fast accurate means to counter any aggressive ceasefire violations, permitting response with much more accurate artillery fire.

Venezuela -
President Nicolás Maduro’s government has begun dismantling price controls, a major policy shift that aims to ease widespread unrest by letting shops sell food at market prices but is worsening Venezuela’s already punishing inflation. In cities where the controls have been lifted, including Maracaibo and Puerto Ordaz, the long lines of shoppers that snaked outside every store have shortened. Looting of markets and food trucks—a daily occurrence just a few months ago—were down one-third nationwide in August from a May high, according to the Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict, a nonprofit group. The phasing out of the price controls is already hitting black-market dealers who have been reselling shoppers marked-up products they obtained at government-set prices.
