Indicates that among the bugs, the GGR wants us to eat, there is a “transmission of parasitic diseases to humans and animals,” issue.
OBSERVATION - The GGR powers that be have no concern about the safety of the bug food they want us peons to eat - as they will still engorge themselves with the finest meats still available.
Wuhan virus -
Several large U.S. companies are rolling back COVID-19 vaccine mandates but staying mum during the process, reports Axios.
Goldman Sachs lifted vaccination requirements everywhere but New York City this week while JPMorgan & Chase Co. said in March that it would start hiring unvaccinated individuals again. Cisco in June stopped requiring vaccination for “office entry, travel, event attendance, or visiting customers, partners, and other third parties.”
“[Companies] decided that the rationale for [mandates] had become weak enough that they don’t want to continue,” Jeff Levin-Scherz, population health leader at Willis Towers Watson, told the news outlet.
OBSERVATION - The integrity of these companies has already been damaged now that the CDC has backtracked on so many of the claims it made that formed the basis for these mandates in the first place.
Economy -
The U.S. army is recommending soldiers apply for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, to help cover their rising costs from inflation. The U.S. Army cites the higher prices on a range of goods because of inflation in its recently released official guidance.
“With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they’ve set and used before,” the guidance written by Sergeant Major of the Army Michael A. Grinston reads. “Soldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army’s Financial Readiness Program.”
“Based on the Pentagon’s own data, 24 percent of enlisted personnel are food insecure,” said Mackenzie Eaglen, an analyst at the American Enterprise Institute. “While food stamps are a Band-Aid, they’re also an admission that basic pay for enlisted troops and their families is too low—further exacerbated by unyielding inflation causing paychecks to shrink more.”
OBSERVATION - This has been a persistent problem going as fa back as the Vietnam War era. Commissaries not holding prices do and on base housing is inadequate.
Going to rebound and affect the US as well, India restricted some rice exports and placed levies on others, exacerbating a world already squeezed by a food crisis.
Bloomberg reported India imposed a 20% duty on white and brown rice exports and banned shipments of broke rice — parboiled and basmati rice were excluded from the export duty and/or trade restrictions. The new curbs apply to about 60% of India’s rice exports and go into effect Friday.
OBSERVATION - My recent trip back to Kalifonia i noted that the vast rice fields in the Sacramento region were dry and unplanted. Buy your rice now.
CW2/Domestic violence -
The international organization responsible for creating merchant category codes for credit card purchases has given its approval to establish one for transactions made at gun stores. The International Organization for Standardization’s Registration and Maintenance Management Group met on Wednesday to discuss a request made by Amalgamated Bank to set up such a code.
“Considering the application met all the criteria from ISO 18245 and no material arguments pertaining to the approval criteria outlined in the ISO 18245 standard to reject the code were made, SC9 leadership has approved this MCC application in order to comply with the standard,” the ISO said in a statement provided by Maria Lazarte, the organization’s team leader for media and engagement.
That decision came less than a week after New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a letter to chief executives at American Express, Mastercard and Visa, urging them to support a merchant category code.
OBSERVATION - Noted yesterday that the left will coerce willing businesses to do their dirty work. Saw this with the wuhan jab mandates. This move sets up a tracking system that can be used as a form of a registry that can be used by govt to identify gun/ammo owners.
More polling out there indicating that the general public is anticipating a civil war in growing numbers.
POLITICAL FRONT -
RUMINT - file also under CW2. Rumors that over 35 Trump supporters have been raided by the FBI as part of the J6 investigations. According to attorney Harmeet Dhillon on with Tucker Carlson show implied that that up to 50 Trump supporters had their homes raided or received.
OBSERVATION - If true, then the govt’s assault on americans has stepped it up as the midterms approach.
Russia -
WAR WATCH - Russia is now entering its seventh month of fighting since starting on Feb 24th.
CURRENT ASSESSMENT - Russia now essentially controls Luhansk Oblast, Russian forces have modified their immediate goals to try to capture Bakhmut and Avdiivka in the Donetsk region. Russia is also working to redeploy forces to face an anticipated Ukraninan offensive to retake Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts
********
It was another bad, terrible, bad day for Russia in Ukraine.
RUMINT -
Silence from the Kremlin, but prime time political commentators as well as Russian milbloggers are screaming that Russian forces hav been routed in Kharkiv. This could be a foundation for a political push back against Putin. It was rumored that he personally was directing the war effort, bypassing his general staff.
Russian Personnel Issues -
As at 10 September Russian senior officer losses
- 3 Admirals, 37 Generals, 2 Colonels, 1 Lt Colonel & 150 FSB officers arrested/fired
- 12 Generals KIA
- 1 General captured
- 56 Colonels KIA (+1)
- 103 Lt Colonels KIA (+2)
- 11 Navy Captains
- One of the recent volunteer units put together and recently deployed to the Kharkiv region - the 3d Armor Corps - has essentially been decimated by the Ukraine offensive, with reports of equipment abandonment enmass and large numbers of POWs.
Ukraine -
WEATHER FORECAST - Cool temperatures in the 60s and rain over parts of the 10 day forecast period
RUMINT -
Rumors floating that Ukrainian forces have captured a Russian Lieutenant General.
Images closely resembling Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi, commander of the Russian Federation’s (RF) Group of Forces West, appeared on Ukrainian social media, and then on independent news platforms on Wednesday, September 7. Yet to be confirmed.
24 HOUR ROUND UP -
Incredible progress made by Ukranian forces in Kharkiv Oblast.
Kyiv front ——
NSR
Northern (Chernihv region ) and North Eastern (Konotop - Sumy salient) Fronts - ——
Routine scattered artillery strikes
Eastern (Kharkiv) front -
More Russian artillery fire along the LOC northeast of Kharkiv. However, the big play is the Izyum region.
The shock offensive in the Kharkiv Oblast has left analysts stunned. It’s defying even the most optimistic of expectations. Russian lines in Kharkiv are reportedly collapsing at a rate that Ukraine didn’t expect. Highly mobile Ukrainian forces are moving astonishingly quick, but the Russian lines are collapsing faster than they can move.
Ukraine has liberated the critical transportation hub of Kupiansk and are pushing northeast toward Velyski Burluk. Meanwhile the main attack is directed south towards Izyum, crashing through Russian rear areas and apparently instilling panic in Russian forces.
Ukranian forces are attacking along a front south of Izyum northwards towards the city.
Reportedly last night, Russian units received orders to withdraw from their positions around Izyum. Unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian troops have reached the city from the north.
More unconfirmed reports that Russian forces are fleeing other cities/towns in the region including Svyatohirs’k and Lyman (Lyman is another vital railway city. It was seized by Russian Armed Forces on May 27th). A Russian telegram account is claiming that Russian forces have left Svatove, too, located east of Kupiansk.
Reports showing considerable amounts of vehicles and equipment being abandoned. One particularly humorous video released on social media shows a Russian tank with soldiers on top speeding down a road when it encounters a Ukranian force, causing some of the riding soldiers to fall off. The tank continues at max speed and takes a corner too fast, slamming into a 3-4 foot diameter tree.
Donetsk Oblast ——
Russian forces continued to assault Bakhmut and surrounding town, with no success. Same goes for Russian attacks northeast of Donetsk.
Crimean Front ——
Minor gains reported along the three axis of advance being used by Ukraine.
Western / Central Ukraine ——
NSR
Russian Territory -—
NSR
Partisan Resistance ——
NSR
Ammunition / logistical sites hit —
Russian base destroyed in Polohy, Zaporizhzhia region
Missile strikes reported in Vovchansk, in Russia occupied Kharkiv Oblast
OUTLOOK ——
Things are developing faster than many can keep up with. If the reports are confirmed, much of the Russian presence in Kharkiv Oblast has or is in the process of collapsing. However, much is still covered with the fog of war concerning the timing and actual location being liberated by the Ukraine army. The following link has a map that attempts to consolidate the rapid changes in the conflict to date.

Note - Dispositions of forces is estimated and not solid, but gives a general idea of what’s happening.
Some are raising concerns that Ukraine may fall into the same trap Russia did by over extending its logistic train. That is valid, however, the conditions are not the same given that Russia is in no position to exploit the extended supply lines (total cluster in the command rooms of Russian generals at the moment) and Ukraine has internal supply lines - much easier to adjust too.
Near term, I expect Izyum to be retaken by Ukraine very soon. High possibility that areas further away, such as Lyman and even Svatove area can be retaken. With its focus on stopping the announced Ukraine offensive in Kherson, Russia just doesn’t have the forces available to respond to the Kharkiv region - now made even more difficult with the loss of key roads and rail networks to get those forces into play. Russia has been forced to go back to square one in many instances.
Black Swans - The state of New York declared a state of emergency Friday over the continued spread of polio. New York Governor Kathy Hochul made the declaration Friday, after multiple counties in the state discovered traces of the virus in wastewater. One case of polio has been reported in a man in July who got infected in a country where oral vaccines are prevalent, based on upon identification of the strain found infecting him.. Oral vaccines are banned in the US.
OBSERVATION - Made poplar by the wuhan scam, viruses in poop are not a solid indicator. When one considers the volume of sewage and the equivalent volume of ‘infected’ waste necessary to permit discovery , the scale of the problem is vague - particularly when only one case is present.
Maybe the real concern for the change in policy is companies with deep pockets have been told they could be sued for damages if the vaccine causes long term problems AND they've made it a requirement for employment.
21st remembrance of the attacks of 9/11 - never forget.

Wuhan virus -
Three hospitals in California face lawsuits alleging they treated patients with the controversial antiviral drug remdesivir without receiving informed consent, using a protocol which two attorneys allege led to wrongful death.
The lawsuit references a study found in the New England Journal of Medicine in which a safety board found it to be the least effective and deadliest drug in the trial before it was suspended after 53 percent of the Ebola patients who took the drug died.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) has said it’s the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat COVID-19.
“A patient comes to the hospital often for a problem unrelated to COVID-19,” the lawsuit says. “They are told they have COVID-19 or ‘COVID pneumonia.’”
From there, they are separated from loved ones and placed in a room where they are told remdesivir is the only option, the lawsuit says. “Their phone and the signaling instrument for the nurse are typically placed beyond their reach,” the lawsuit alleges.
The patients are also kept malnourished, and eventually intubated, the lawsuit states, where the patient then dies.
“It takes a ‘protocol patient’ about nine days to die on average,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit goes on to address federal financial incentives the hospital gets for each step in the protocol.
OBSERVATION - This lawsuit could open the flood gates for further actions. Those who’ve followed how the medical community applied wuhan protocols will quickly recognize the actions taken by the hospital to force remdesvir on patients.
Economy -
In between reports, mood is still very negative and inclined towards a recession.
Invasion of Illegals -
Mayors of DC and Chicago getting heat for their handling of the crisis of a few busses of illegals imported from Texas.
Biden / Harris watch -
Biden on vacation AGAIN and Harris continues with word salads.
China -
China continues daily air and ship incursions into Taiwanese space.
Russia -
WAR WATCH - Russia is now entering its seventh month of fighting since starting on Feb 24th.
CURRENT ASSESSMENT - With the defeat of Russian forces in Kharkiv Oblast, its ability to sustain its offensive to capture the Donbas region is in jeopardy. Retreat of Russian forces have reversed 5 months worth of effort and resulted in huge losses of equipment.
********
It was another bad, terrible, bad day for Russia in Ukraine.
Russian defense ministry spokesman ws forced to go on air to report that Russian forces were “repositioning” and not getting the snot kicked out of them.
Russian occupation administration in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region calling for a full evacuation. “Our army is doing all it can” but admits it can’t stop Ukraine. Stunning defeat in towns and villages where Russia told local collaborators it was there to stay.
RUMINT -
Putin intends to “exterminate” everyone responsible for the catastrophic rout of the Russian army in Kharkiv region. Not certain if the remark is directed to his military leadership or Ukraine.
Logistics -
- Very rough estimate of Russian equipment losses in Kharkiv are visually confirmed to have lost to captured or destroyed an equivalent of 27 companies or 7 battalions. These numbers are thought to be on the low side.
- Additional reports of a substantial number of armored vehicles captured in Izyum from a logistical base.
Russian Personnel Issues -
- Russian authorities in the Kherson Oblast region are restricting movements of men for further mobilization,
Ukraine -
WEATHER FORECAST - Cool temperatures in the 60s and rain over parts of the 10 day forecast period
24 HOUR ROUND UP -
The Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast is routing Russian forces and collapsing Russia’s northern Donbas axis. Russian forces are not conducting a controlled withdrawal but are hurriedly fleeing southeastern Kharkiv Oblast to escape encirclement around Izyum. Ukrainian forces have pushed through Izium already. Videos show Russians abandoned tons of armor, vehicles, munitions and other items in their haste to flee the Ukranian forces.
So far Ukrainian forces have penetrated Russian lines to a depth of up to 70 kilometers in some places and captured over 3,000 (some are putting the number closer to 5000) square kilometers of territory in the past five days since September 6 – more territory than Russian forces have captured in all operations since April.
Of note also, it is believed that the main attack used the NATO equivalent of 5 division sized elements - at full strength. Also, a lot of press out there regarding the US involvement in providing increased intelligence and planning support for the offensive.
Kyiv front ——
NSR
Northern (Chernihv region ) and North Eastern (Konotop - Sumy salient) Fronts - ——
NSR
Eastern (Kharkiv) front -
Operation tempo continues to be very high and the situation is changing moment by moment.
Ukrainian offensive continues with operations to clean up pockets of Russian units bypassed and or unable to flee. This is slowing operations down, however Russian retreat from the Kharkiv region continues to increase. Ukrainian forces are making gains throughout the sector.
Reports that Russian forces are retreating back into Russia from the contested areas north of Kharkiv. Russian Forces have also reportedly left Vovchans’k, Kharkiv Oblast.
Ukraine forces are in the process of securing Izyum as forces converge from both the north and south.
Lysychansk and Severodonetsk have been reportedly reached by Ukrainian Armed Forces. Rubizhne are just now reporting Ukainian forces in the center of the city, flying Ukrainian flags. Lyman has been abandoned by Russian forces.
Donetsk Oblast ——
Russian shelling remains intensive north and west of Donetsk at times and towards Bakhmut, but was far more sporadic in most other impacted regions.
Rumors yesterday that Ukrainian Army attacked the Donetsk Airport. Rumors were found to be false.
Crimean Front ——
Ukrainian forces continued to gain ground along the central axis of advance. Ukrainian aviation conducted 23 air strikes at Russian forces during the day. Russian Su-25, Su-34 planes, 1 Ka-52 helicopter, 2 drones and one missile were shot down.
Western / Central Ukraine ——
Russian army launched 2 cruise missiles at Dnipro district overnight, 1 was shot down by air defense, another hit industrial enterprise. Analysts have noted that these air launched missile strikes have been on a significant decline, some think due to missile shortages, others due to inability to keep aircraft repaired and flying.
Russian Territory -—
NSR
Partisan Resistance ——
NSR
Ammunition / logistical sites hit —
Missile strike near Razdolne village in the Kherson region
OUTLOOK ——
Ukraine should be wrapping up the consolidation of liberated territories within the next few days. With effort being directed north of Kharkiv as well as the northern margin of the Donbas operation, Russia will lose considerably more territory.
The immensity of the route is still being illustrated by the vast quantities of armor and vehicles abandoned in good working conditions (that is for Russian forces). the flood of Russian troops headed east has been clogged up by Ukrainian Russia collaborators. Non military have been held back at the borders.
Ukraine will continue to advance on the Kherson front, taking advantage of coordination with partisans to strike Russian logistic, command posts and troop concentrations.
Russia has been essentially paralyzed by the events of the past few days. They lack reserve forces to stem the offense in the east - hoping to run far enough away to establish some kind of defensive line. This ‘run away’ plan is partially practical as it will take time for Ukraine to consolidate the massive gains it has made.
The Russian offensive to capture the Donbas is essentially dead. Attacks will continue towards Bakhmut and north out of Donetsk, but will be lacking even more men and equipment now that the northern supply lines have been cut off.
Russia is also frozen in place on the Kherson front. This has direct strategic threats to Crimea and Russia can ill afford to weaken the force build up there (which resulted in the weak Kharkiv region forces) else the Ukrainian army could easily duplicate the success there.
Of particular note - Russian air power has been ineffective in both tactical ground support as well as stratigic strikes with cruse missiles. The Russian Black Sea fleet has been relegated to floating around trying to stay out of range of Ukrainian missiles with the threat that we monitored early on - of an amphibious assault on the Odessa region now no longer a concern.
