HEADS UP - Today’s post will be the last regular ones for at least a week. I’ll be getting a new knee and hospital time/ initial recovery will inhibit my work. I’ll still be monitoring and hope to have a crystal ball view of 2022 sometime between Christmas and New Years. BTW - don’t bemoan by surgery during the holiday season, I’ve wanted to get it done while my deductables are met and I consider this kinda as a present as i”ve been waiting over 10 years for these operations.

Wuhan virus -

A study by scientists at the University of Hong Kong found that the Omicron variant of COVID infects and multiples 70 times faster than the Delta variant. But it replicated more than 10 times less efficiently in human lung tissue than the original COVID, which suggests lower severity of disease.
WORTH NOTING STILL - Since it was detected, there has been no increase in severe cases or deaths (only one identified dear associated with it so far), and most people who’ve caught it had mild or no symptoms.

Following the 6th Circuit court reinstating OSHA wuhan requirements, it announced that it could start issuing citations to companies as soon as Jan. 10 for failure to comply with a nationwide mandate that they either vaccinate or test regularly for COVID-19. The 6th’s decision is being appealed to the USSC.

Bloomberg report shows how the Center for Disease Control and Prevention massively overcounted the number of single-dose Covid jab recipients, causing both the unvaccinated and fully-vaccinated to be undercounted. CDC data show 240 million people with at least one shot, or about 72.5% of the population. But the agency says only 203 million are fully vaccinated, or 61.3%, an 11-percentage-point difference that is far larger than in other developed countries. State and local officials say it’s improbable that 37 million Americans got one shot without completing their inoculations. Instead, they say, the government has regularly and incorrectly counted booster shots and second doses as first doses.
OBSERVATION - An observation is that these fudged numbers were used to mislead Americans into thinking there are fewer unvaccinated than there really are, driving efforts to increase pressure for people to get jabbed.

President Joe Biden reportedly plans to make a major speech on Tuesday, which will include an announcement of new COVID-19 measures to address the “new phase of the pandemic” but also “a stark warning” to unvaccinated Americans.
The president’s speech is slated to be “on the status of the country’s fight against COVID-19, as the country sees rising cases amid the growing Omicron variant.”
OBSERVATION - Not sure if there other shoe will drop with his “stark warning”. Fauci made a similar warning. But it would follow the current trend of increasing vilification and punishment of the unvaxxed.

Texas has joined Oklahoma in rejecting mandatory jabs for national guard members.

Globalism / Great Reset -

On January 5th, 2022, the New York Senate and Assembly will vote on a bill that would, if passed into law, grant permissions to remove and detain cases, contacts, carriers, or anyone suspected of presenting a “significant threat to public health” and remove them from public life on an indefinite basis.
The bill gives the Governor of New York, his or her delegates – including but not limited to the commissioner and heads of local health departments – the right to remove and detain any individuals or groups of people through issuing a single order. The orders only have to include the individual’s name(s) or “reasonably specific descriptions of the individuals or groups.”
The department can decide to hold a person or group of people in a medical facility or any other they deem appropriate. The language is purposefully vague.
Though the bill attempts to state that no one shall be held for more than 60 days, the language allows for court orders to waive this maximum detention time. After 60 days, the court is allowed an additional 90 days to consider the detention of an individual, a cycle that can last indefinitely per the opinion of the department.
It goes on to state that the Bill will “require an individual who has been exposed to or infected by a contagious disease to complete an appropriate, prescribed course of treatment, preventive medication or vaccination,” essentially giving the government the right to detain anyone they want and forcibly vaccinate them.

OBSERVATION - Essentially wuhan concentration camps going further than Australian camps. NOTE that wuhan is not specifically mentioned but just any ‘significant threat to public health” Since gun violence has been called such a threat, it is conceivable that this forcible detention could expand to gun rights individuals and groups.

Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister (Tánaiste) Leo Varadkar has warned of a “long war” with the coronavirus, during which the government may allow only “periods of freedom” for the people.
Thousands of people have demonstrated against coronavirus rules in several major German cities, including Hamburg and Düsseldorf. Citizens have become increasingly displeased with virus-related regulations. Those who are against vaccinations are also up in arms over the possible introduction of compulsory vaccinations in the upcoming year.
Protest also occurred recently outside of Trudeau’s residence over impending lockdowns and restrictions.
OBSERVATION - Europe is inclined to maintain strict measures and are migrating to ever increasing forcefulness of jab mandated actions.

Green energy is the mantra for the great resetters. Kalifornia a couple years ago mandated that all new homes constructed include solar panels. Now that it is mandated, the state is preparing tax the wazoo out of the sheeples. California Public Utilities Commission is looking to add a $8 per month for every kW of generating equipment you have installed on the roof. In addition, the new plan will reduce the amount the power company pays you for your excess energy from about 25 cents per kilowatt hour (still less than what the power company charges you for a kilowatt hour of power) down to about 6 cents per kWh.
PERSONAL INSIGHT - When I was in Kalifornia, I had a 5.25 KW Solar system on a leased basis. The goal was to stabilize my average electrical bill at $145/mo or less. In reality my average bill dropped to the $120 range and maintained at a stable rate. Now this ‘fee’ would add $50/mo to my electrical bill (if I were still trapped there). This is on top of reduced power buy back that helped to keep my purchased power rates low. Now one can see this as an extension of the Global Reset to force people into their plans by increasing costs beyond what people can afford. BTW, there appears to be a ‘grandfather clause’ that would protect me but as Darth Vader said, ‘pray I don’t change the conditions further”.

Economy -

Dark clouds on the horizon as many economists look at the potential for three Fed rate increases in 2022 and the chance that it will cause the economy to crash.

CW2/Domestic violence -

The U.S. military must start making preparations for another “insurrection” after the 2024 election, according to a trio of retired military generals. Not limited to active duty, these generals also cast a warning towards former military saying “1 in 10 of those charged in January 6 attacks had a service record”
An op-ed published by the Washington Post on Friday called for action amid growing concern among former senior officials about the “potential for lethal chaos inside our military” in a flash of violence that could eclipse the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
OBSERVATION - This is essentially a call for continued and even more drastic ideological purge of the military that was started shortly after Jan 6. There is little doubt that those targeted are essentially red state service men/women that form the backbone of the military. This op-ed further points out to the contamination of the general staff of the military with leftist/communist aligned ‘leaders’
Their purge includes former military as well - not a good tactic.

Strategic Activity / Deployments -

USS Truman CSG is operating in the eastern Atlantic Ocean just west of the Straits of Gibraltar.
OBSERVATION - Stated deployment to exercise in the Atlantic with NATO allies. This does place it only several days from a potential Ukraine response as well.

RUMINT of US M1 tanks being transported north out of Greece and into Bulgaria. Consider this info questionable as there is no verification of the observations this is based on .

China -

China’s Evergrande meltdown is spilling into other sectors of the economy. Now the steel sector is feeling the pinch due to the sudden cessation of the construction. Cement production, another construction material, was down around 16% for September-November year-on-year, and was lower versus the same period between 2017 and 2019. “Property construction has been the engine of China’s economy for over two decades now,” said Frederic Neumann, Co-Head of Asian Economics Research at HSBC.
“With building activity likely to remain depressed for quite some time, growth will inevitably shift down a gear or two.”
OBSERVATION - A few years back the first of the Chinese empty cities stories hit, now many of these cites are being torn down due to poor quality of construction. Property speculators like Everganade are into this projects big time. Now no new construction - no economic growth in related sectors.

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 -
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.
20th CAA (Northern Ukraine border)
- 144th Motorize Rifle Division (MRR)
- 3d MRR
- 106th Airborne division
41st CAA - Located on the eastern border of Belarus
- 1st Guard Tank Army are massing at Pogonovo, near Voronezh adjacent northeastern Ukraine; (SUSPECTED)
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 MRD (consisting of two rifle regiments and two tanks regiments)
22d CAA (Crimea)
- 7th Airborne Division
- 810th Marine Infantry Brigade (Crimea)
- 3rd Air Assault Regiment (Crimea, airborne)

Russian Tu-22M3 bombers patrolled border of Belarus with Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania. This is a force projection not only against Ukraine, but NATO members Moscow wants to become essentially removed from NATO. The restrictions on former soviet states demanded by Russia essentially want to remove them from any meaningful NATO participation and essentially default any action to Putin. This further indicates that Russia will use Belarus as another front in any conflict with Ukraine.

RUMINT - Russian forces have been fitting separatist fighters with GPS trackers and sending them to probe Ukrainian positions bore starting shelling when they are killed, it has been claimed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet ‘’made a decision’’ on whether he will invade Ukraine, but is giving ‘’serious consideration’’ to doing so, according to the latest U.S. intelligence assessment, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations, The Hill reports.
‘’I have high confidence in our capacity to see what has been a significant Russian military buildup in the vicinity of Ukraine and in Ukraine itself, in Crimea and other places,’’ Sullivan said.
OBSERVATION - I have serious concerns about the ability of US intelligence to ‘see’ what Russia is up to. Having been a cog in that process in the beforetimes , I think politics and globalist goals are driving the ‘interpretation’ of intel. After all , intel did so well predicting actions in regards to Afghanistan withdrawal.
