Wuhan virus -

The new coronavirus variant Omicron is spreading across the globe at an unprecedented rate, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned.
NOTE - Continuation of the fear mongering. However, Omicron is not panning out to be the deadly variant they apparently dersired. Remember, only one death has been attributed to this variant was ‘discovered’ last month.

Dr. Anthony Fauci sat down with “Meta” CEO Mark Zuckerberg and commented on a recent study that showed that the Covid vaccines may actually make a recipient more likely to be reinfected than someone with natural immunity from a prior infection. “This would not be the first time, if it happened, that a vaccine that looked good in initial safety actually made people worse,” Fauci said. “There was the history of the Respiratory Syncitial Virus vaccine in children, which paradoxically made the children worse.”

A new Harvard study recently showed that the mRNA “vaccines” endorsed by the FDA and CDC are worse than useless at stopping the spread of Covid-19.
The study of 68 nations and 2,947 counties in the United States published in the European Journal of Epidemiology showed that “At the country-level, there appears to be no discernible relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days. In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people.”
Calling it a “curious “ phenomenon, it observes that Covid-19 case rates increasing alongside vaccination rates.

The Telegraph is reporting that data from Denmark shows that just over 70 per cent of omicron cases have been among those younger than 40. The omicron epidemic is being driven by young, vaccinated people, according to mounting data from countries as diverse as the UK, Denmark and South Africa

Globalism / Great Reset -

More restrictions to separate the non-jabbed. The British House of Commons backs the government’s plan to introduce Covid passes - or passports - for entry to large venues in England, such as nightclubs, passing a resolution. MPs also backed compulsory face masks in most indoor public places in England.

Kroger has informed unvaccinated employees that they will no longer be entitled to paid emergency leave if they fall ill with COVID-19, The Wall Street Journal reports. The grocery chain reportedly sent out a memo to staffers last week announcing the new policy, which will take effect Jan. 1. Unvaccinated managers and nonunion employees will also face a $50 monthly surcharge added to their company health-care plans. The move is part of the company’s efforts to encourage employees to get vaccinated .
OBSERVATION - Expect more more companies aligned with the left to continue punitive measured even thought the OSHA mandate is currently stopped by the courts.

The broad court decisions banning the multiple “mandates” issued by the biden administration have given some big companies and entities wiggle room to back off self impositions of same mandates. A recent example is Amtrak having suspended their vaccine mandate just days after the railroad service began cutting services due to vaccine related staffing shortages.
According to a recent survey via the Society for Human Resources Management, 75% of employers would not commit to such a requirement if the courts strike the mandate down completely. (Yahoo News)
OBSERVATION - Worker shortages are already intense and these entities realize that firing people over a disease with a 99.7% survival rate isn’t good business - even Amtrak mangers could figure that out. This follows major hospitals stopping the expulsion of the unvaxxed. This will not stop the stigmatization of the unvaxxed, but throw a wrench into the short term globalist push for jabbing.

Vice President Harris called for an intentional restructuring of the country’s economic systems on Tuesday, suggesting existing systems were inherently racist. Harris appeared at a forum hosted by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to discuss proactive ways to increase access to financial systems and capital for racial minorities.
OBSERVATION - Need it be said - raw communism being espoused. A “leveling” of the economy is a goal the WEF.

I’ve wondered in part just what mechanism would facilitate a global power ‘owning’ everything and we’ll be happy until I though about the known national debt against households - it works out to approximately $287,859 per income-tax-paying household. There is also the ‘hidden’ debt. A great ‘reset’ could cancel all debts, but in return cancel all property rights. Given the conditioning seen from the wuhan cultists over the sheeple, it is entirely conceivable that as a result of a manufactured global economic collapse people would gladly turn over their property to escape their hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt burden.

Economy -

The House and Senate approved an extension of the national debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion in the hopes of kicking the can into 2023 and avoid having to deal with it during the 2022 Midterms. The new debt ceiling is now roughly $31.5 trillion.

CW2/Domestic violence -

Following Newsom’s lead in California, the Attorney General of New York tells The View that she has her office working on crafting a law that will allow private citizens to sue gun manufacturers and sellers, just as Texas passed targeting abortion providers.

OBSERVATION - The left MUST have a disarmed US in order to progress to their next phase of controlling the US. While clearly unconstitutional, leftists will likely pass such bills and force the issue while it is being fought in the courts - a process of years - to the point where even though those laws will be overturned, the damage has been done. Similar lawless attitude has been practiced by the biden administration of several issues, like immigration - openly saying they know the law/executive order is not legal but going to do it anyway while being fought in the courts.

The Los Angeles Police Department contracted a Warsaw-based “strategic communications” firm to gain insight into protests. The police used a 40-day free trial of ABTShield, which scraped millions of tweets associated with Black Lives Matter, Antifa, election security, and white nationalism. The software assisted in reputation management, threat prediction, and information gathering about community grievances.
OBSERVATION - Civil rights groups are raising concerns over privacy violations of this action.

Strategic Activity / Deployments -

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) began its scheduled southbound transit from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea after conducting maritime operations alongside NATO allies and partners
OBSERVATION - This could represent the US getting signifiant assets out of the Black Sea region prior to any initiation of war by Russia against the Ukraine.

Russia -

Logistic//fuel units are being reported on the move towards the Ukraine border. Heavy engineering units being railroaded into the region consisting of heavy bridging units and rail line repair elements.

The Russian Federation has submitted proposals on security guarantees to the United States, - says Assistant to the President of Russia for Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov. Putin said that “Russia is ready to immediately begin negotiations on security guarantees, and hopes that the United States and NATO will respond positively to this,” Ushakov said

INCREASED WARNING - OSINT and other analysts are noting the continued build up of military assets that go far beyond those necessary for a military ‘exercise’. Putin has seriously deployed for combat.
I’ve scrapped up some of the Russian order of battle being deployed.

Elements of the 8th, 20th, 41ST, and 22d Combined Arms Armies are deployed opposite of Ukraine. (NOTE - 41st added to the front line from reserve status) I suspect the 58th CAA(42d MRD) is in reserve in the Georgia region, with the 106th Airborne division in the Moscow region. Other potential reserve units consist of a mechanized infantry unit in Moldova (breakaway region of Transnistria - See Europe General below).

North to south - NOTE ; Tweaked the association and units with more recent information.
41st CAA - Located on the eastern border of Belarus
20th CAA (Northern Ukraine border)
- 144th Motorize Rifle Division (MRR)
- 3d MRR
- 106th Airborne division
8th CAA (Opposite current Dombass conflict zone)
- Dombass ‘separatists’ An approximately division sized element that the 8th CAA provides command and control for the separatists/Russian forces in the disputed area.
- 150th MRR
22d CAA (Crimea)
- 7th Airborne Division
- 810th Marine Infantry Brigade (Crimea)
- 3rd Air Assault Regiment (Crimea, airborne)

This deployment scheme suggests a largely defensive posture for Crimea (though the likelihood of supporting amphibious attacks in the area is high). The main attack could come from the 20th CAA moving south along the east bank of the Dnieper River (source of much of the hydro power for Ukraine ) to join up with ‘separatist ‘ forces in the Dombass region - This would essentially cut the eastern third of the country off and place it under Russian control.
It is likely that Belarus may launch a supporting attack on the west flank of the 20th CAA to protect from counter attacks. Recent Joint military drills with close ally Russia on its southern border with Ukraine seem to support that course of action.

For Russian to continue to attack westward, the Dnieper River and associated low lands would pose a significant barrier and it is likely Russia would prefer to use that as a preventative to a NATO/Ukraine counter attack. This would give Russia a ‘buffer’. However, it will wake the NATO ‘bear’ consisting of the eastern member nations of NATO.

Ukraine -

Ukraine has activated reserve forces.

Germany and the Netherlands are blocking Ukrain’s efforts to acquire defensive C-UAS (anti-drone systems) through #NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency.
OBSERVATION - these denials, combined with biden stopping munitions shipments suggest that NATO is trying to telegraph to Russia that NATO is not going to help Ukraine and is an attempt to appease Putin on the whole NATO issue.
____________________________________

Europe General -

Moldovan ex-defence minister Viorel Cibotaru has proposed an extended military agreement between Romania and Moldova.
OBSERVATION - Moldova is another small country that Russia is supporting ‘separatists’ in order to create another Russian favoring buffet state. Though it has a largely pro-Russia government, recently there has been some souring of the relationship . The disputed region is a strip of the Moldovan territory on the east bank of the Dniester has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Transnistria since 1990. The present history of the region dates to 1990, amidst the disintegration of the Soviet Union, when the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic was established in hopes that it would remain within the Soviet Union should Moldova seek unification with Romania or independence, the latter occurring in August 1991. Transnistria, along with Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Artsakh, is a post-Soviet “frozen conflict” zone.

Wuhan virus -

California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is revising temporary rules is that it would erase current distinctions between vaccinated and unvaccinated employees. The revised temporary rules would require that exposed, vaccinated but asymptomatic workers stay home for 14 days even if they test negative or, if they return to work, wear masks and stay 6 feet (1.8 meters) from anyone else during those two weeks. “Treating vaccinated and unvaccinated people similarly really denies the scientific value of the vaccine and disincentivizes vaccination,” said Rob Moutrie, a policy advocate at the California Chamber of Commerce.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new data today showing a total of 875,653 adverse events following COVID vaccines were reported between Dec. 14, 2020, and Nov. 5, 2021, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Some observers are noting that the numbers indicate a surge in adverse affects that correlates to the beginning of 5 yr old plus vaccinations.

In heavily masked Kalifornia, data last updated Tuesday shows a daily average of 6,353 cases, according to the New York Times’ coronavirus case map and tracker. That results in an average of 16 cases per 100,000. Overall, it reflects a 61 percent case increase in the last 14 days. On the other side of the country, Florida reported a daily case average of 1,506, or seven per capita — a decrease of 20 percent in the last two weeks. In terms of the daily average cases, California is reporting four times more than the Sunshine State. Florida has no mask mandate.

Globalism / Great Reset -

Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ Bill Adds 87,000 IRS agents to the mix. This on top of required reporting of nearly all banking transactions.
OBSERVATION - Control the money, control the people.

French President Emmanuel Macron has refused to rule out mandatory Covid-19 vaccination as millions of French people remain unvaccinated despite a rise in cases. Asked by French TV channels TF1 and LCI on Wednesday whether vaccination for Covid-19 would become mandatory in the future, Macron replied, “This hypothesis exists,” before noting that France was not far off from being fully vaccinated anyway.
The president did encourage the “little more than 5 million of our fellow citizens who are not vaccinated” to “take responsibility” and receive their shots. He argued that the unvaccinated “are not protected” from the virus, noting that they are behind the recent surge in hospitalizations.

Denials of “climate change” are “deadlier” than denials of the science behind COVID-19, according to renowned climate activist Michael E. Mann, who defended his earlier call for social media companies to censor those who disagree with his views on global warming science, effectively removing “climate denial” content in the same way “COVID denial” content is suppressed online.
OBSERVATION - I’ve said before, climate change cultists want the same ‘emergency’ declared for climate change to enable tyrannical dictates to force their agenda. The idea is embraced by most globalists, but it doesn’t seem that there is sufficient ‘crisis’ yet to trigger actions.

Economy -

Federal Reserve officials projected Wednesday there will be at least three interest rate rises next year in efforts to curb high inflation rates. Officials also approved plans to more quickly scale back the Fed’s pandemic stimulus efforts, the Wall Street Journal reports.
On Wednesday, officials voted to hold rates near zero, but the latest projections are a significant shift from just three months ago. In September, around half of those official thought rate increases wouldn’t be warranted until 2023.

OBSERVATION - Three rate increases next year is a HUGE change in policy. For the past year the talk were smaller increases starting 2023. Buckle up folks, this could trigger not only a recession but a full blown depression. Watching the markets for response.

Invasion of Illegals -

Illegal drug smuggling - often a parallel to illegal immigration - has skyrocketed, particularly in the case of fentanyl. So much has entered the country that it is reported that street prices are half what they were a year ago.

CW2/Domestic violence -

A Chicago-based BLM affiliated group called Defund CPD Campaign is advocating for the abolition of the Chicago Police Department’s “racist” gang database, stating that a vast majority of individuals listed are Black or “Latinx.”
_________________________________

CYBER/CANCEL CULTURE FRONT -

Twitter quietly made changes to its rules for posts on COVID, including statements that vaccinated people can spread the virus. The policy now states that Twitter will add labels claiming to offer “corrective information” and give users a strike if they claim that “the vaccines will cause you to be sick, spread the virus, or would be more harmful than getting COVID-19.
OBSERVATION - The CDC has stated outright that even those who are fully vaccinated can transmit COVID-19 to others. Another attempt at control of narrative.
___________________________________

POLITICAL FRONT -

President Joe Biden’s nominee for the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Senate “gender advisers” for combat troops are critical to the United States’ success.
OBSERVATION - SMH, as a veteran there are a plethora of other issues far more critical to military success/readiness than this. IMHO just another effort to demoralized and reduce real readiness.
_____________________________________

Strategic Activity / Deployments -

US/NATO Intelligence aircraft sorties have been nearly nonstop over Ukraine the past few days.

US has reportedly removed most of its advanced missile defense system and Patriot batteries from Harir military base near Erbil and Al Assad military base near Anbar, western Iraq.

The U.S. Marine Corps has decided to ban its entire fleet of tracked Amphibious Assault Vehicles, or AAVs, from taking part in “regularly scheduled deployments” or entering the water for any reason except to support emergency crisis response operations.
OBSERVATION - A mainstay in amphibious operations, banning the used of this vehicle for amphibious training will greatly endanger Marines if an “emergency crisis response” (IE war) is necessary. This represents a significant loss of amphibious assault capability of the Marine Corps, at least in the near term.
_________________________________

China -

China and Russia should carry out “more joint actions” to safeguard both sides’ security interests, President Xi Jinping told his Russian counterpart Putin Wednesday.
OBSERVATION - Pardon the comparison, but the Chinese/Russian ‘alliance’ to me is in some ways similar to the Romulian/Klingon alliance in the Star Trek TOS. An alliance of convenience yet ready to stick the knife into the other’s back if necessary.

Russia -

INCREASED WARNING - OSINT and other analysts are noting the continued build up of military assets that go far beyond those necessary for a military ‘exercise’. Putin has seriously deployed for combat.
I’ve scrapped up some of the Russian order of battle being deployed.

PARTIAL RUSSIAN ORDER OF BATTLE -

Ukraine -

President Zelensky discussed with the new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz the possible membership of Ukraine in NATO.

We see no sign that Russia’s substantial military build-up near Ukraine is stopping or slowing down, NATO Sec Gen Stoltenberg says alongside Ukrainian President Zelensky. “On the contrary, it continues.” In response to Putin’s demands that NATO scale back cooperation with Ukraine, Stoltenberg says, “It is for Russia to change behavior. It is for Russia to change course.” He says there will be no “compromise” on the right of NATO and Ukraine to work closely together.

Ukraine’s parliament approved on Tuesday a draft law that allows foreign troops to take part in military exercises on the territory of the former Soviet republic in 2022, a move likely to infuriate Russia.
According to the draft law, submitted by Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, Ukraine plans to hold 10 large military exercises next year.

Israel -

IAF struck targets south of Damascus overnight. Initial reports indicate that an EWR (Early Warning Radar) location and additional military infrastructure (probably Hezbollah/Iran) were the targets. Syrian Ministry of Defense reports 1 soldier killed and material losses have occurred
OBSERVATION - An EWR strike is notable - iF IAF is to strike IRAN, they need the radars to be blinded.

Israeli cyber security firm confirms to Fox News: In the past 24 hours, a known Iranian hacking group named “Charming Kitten” or APT 35, has tried to exploit the Log4j vulnerability against 7 targets in Israel, among them “Government offices and big Israeli firms”.

The US has rejected an Israeli request to fast-track the delivery of two tanker aircraft which had been ordered by Israel, as plans for a possible military option against Iran’s nuclear plan move forward, Ynet reported on Monday. The US State Department approved the possible sale of up to eight KC-46 tanker aircraft and related equipment to Israel for an estimated cost of $2.4 billion last March, marking the first time that Washington has allowed Jerusalem to buy new tankers. The KC-46 tankers will replace Israel’s Ram (Boeing 707) tanker aircraft that are required for long-range missions and nearing the age of 60.
OBSERVATION - Such refueling aircraft would be critical for a strike on Iran, as a mission against Iran would need to travel over a thousand kilometers in each direction. This will directly inhibit an Israeli response to Iran in the short term.
____________________________________

Iran -

The Tehran Times published on Wednesday a front-page article with a map threatening Israel with missile attacks, The Jerusalem Post reported. Israeli officials say the map of the alleged targets published in the article is inaccurate, since some of them do not exist, while others include cities within Palestinian territories.

Iran will allow the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog to reinstall cameras damaged at a site where it has centrifuge parts and manufacturing material, semiofficial Iranian news agencies reported Wednesday.
The decision will see cameras put back at Karaj, which came under what Iran describes as a sabotage attack in June.
