Globalism / Great Reset –

Please note that though listed under other categories, many of the things I’ve noted today also can fall squarely under this category as well. The globalist assault to take over the world is being executed on many levels by supporting govts in various countries – and they are the ones to watch so see just how despotic WEF rule will be if they get their way.


Wuhan virus –

Former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield testifies that he was excluded and kept out of the loop by Fauci and the rest of the establishment because he had a different opinion about the COVID-19 origins, which he believes came from a lab.

“…they wanted a single narrative and that I obviously had a different point of view.”

OBSERVATION – This conspiracy by Fauci has clearly left the conspiracy theory wing and entered reality. Fauci et al are responsible for the deaths of millions.
Listened to a portion of his testimony – one where he simply stated the ‘mutations’ made to the wuhan virus were specifically aligned to infect humans and that key parts of the virus had human designed portions that should have reflected bat DNA IF the virus had naturally mutated.


Economy –

Biden to announce his budget plans today as the faceoff on the debt ceiling gets into high gear.

**
Financial analysts are noting that the Money Supply is officially contracting.
In their analysis they say a contraction to the degree being observed here has only happened 4 previous times in last 150 years. Each time a Depression with double-digit unemployment rates followed.

OBSERVATION – Economic analysts have been pointing out a lot of various pieces of evidence to a severe recession. This is the latest.


Invasion of Illegals –

District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II in Florida has nullified the Biden administration’s use of parole to release migrants into the United States, declaring the practice unlawful and accusing the administration of turning the U.S.-Mexico border into a “meaningless line in the sand.”

Wednesday’s ruling came out as a response to a lawsuit from the Sunshine State, which alleged that the Biden administration’s policy of mass releasing tens of thousands of migrants who illegally cross the border, rather than detaining them, violated U.S. immigration law.

Judge Wetherell said that federal immigration authorities lack the authority to implement these alternatives on a prevalent basis under the existing laws in place and gave the administration just seven days to file an appeal before his decision ensues.

OBSERVATION – This is addressing biden’s catch and release policy where the illegals are given a court date to show up at and then released on their own recognizance. Biden et al will continue the program while dragging its feet through the appeal process.


Biden / Harris watch –

National Archives retrieved nine boxes of Biden classified documents from boston office.

Biden was also filmed entering the a room clutching onto Schumer’s arm to maintain balance.


CW2/Domestic violence –

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson is aggressively pushing legislation that would establish a 13-member panel to determine what constitutes disinformation and misinformation rising to the level of “domestic violence extremism,” according to The Center Square. The panel would also collect data on incidents of their pickings of domestic violent extremism and classify noncriminal activities or speech as such.

Free speech advocates blasted the bill for targeting conservatives and criminalizing anyone who expresses an opinion that runs counter to a regime-approved narrative.

“This commission is specifically designed to target conservatives and quash any government opposition, which is why the legislation purposefully ignores Antifa and Black Lives Matter extremists. Indeed, it expressly supports those tactics,” wrote Seattle KTTH talk-show host Jason Rantz, who called it “the most dangerous bill in legislative history.”

OBSERVATION – Legislation was noted in an earlier post. This law would be extremely dangerous and the state govt makes no effort to hide the fact that conservative voices are the ones being targeted.

**
(CNSNews.com) - Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, who was appointed to her job by President Joe Biden, submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee today the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community, which warned about the impact of populist parties “that oppose immigration and deeper EU integration.”

The threat assessment included a subsection carrying the headline: “Europe. The entirety of this three-paragraph subsection focused on “populist parties.”

OBSERVATION – Govt targeting conservatives and conservative thoughts that oppose there regime’s narrative. While specifically singling out Europe – you can bet your bottom bitcoin the same arrow is pointing to the US.

More drivel from Haines – in her presentation to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that said that “drivers for disease emergence,” including “mass food production,” are “on the rise.

“Drivers for disease emergence persist and are on the rise, including climate change, deforestation, human encroachment into previously undisturbed habitats, wildlife harvesting and trade, mass food production, and lack of international consensus on biosafety norms,” says the assessment.
“These drivers are compounded by factors that facilitate global spread, such as international trade and travel, inadequate global disease surveillance and control, distrust of public health authorities, health disinformation, and health system strain brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic,” the assessment continued.

“Emerging agricultural and livestock diseases and antimicrobial resistance—although not necessarily involving pathogens of pandemic concern—threaten to cause immense economic damage and disruption food supplies if they spread globally or into new regions,” said the intelligence community assessment.

OBSERVATION – This addendum could also be posted under WEF/GGR in that globalist assault on the food chain is a growing tactic they are using against the people. Here in the US, this is a direct threat towards the agriculture in predominantly red areas of the country – as a justification for more govt intervention into food production (mostly to limit it).

Creation of food shortages points to the old adage - he who controls the food, controls the population. One of the biggest sources of civil unrest today results from food shortages.

Overnight, Antifa conducted a direct action protest outside the Dekalb County jail in Atlanta where 22 out of the 23 Antifa domestic terror suspects are being held. An unknown person inside the jail appeared to be trying to set the building on fire while the crowd cheers. The fire burned out, however.

OBSERVATION – So the terrorists want to burn themselves up? Not an outrageous question for if the fire was successful in injuring/killing any of the terrorists (or blacks currently jailed there as well) it could have served as catalyst for nation wide riots.


Strategic Activity / Deployments –

First it was the Army, now the Air Force will likely miss this fiscal year’s recruiting targets for active-duty and reserve forces, as well as the Air National Guard, a top official recently said as military branches across the board struggle to enlist.

OBSERVATION – Recruits to the armed forces traditionally come from red areas of the country, and IMHO there is a significant realization that the chain of command doesn’t have their six but are willing stab them in back for the sake of Wokeness.


Cyber Warfare –

A top House official said that a “significant data breach” at the health insurance marketplace for Washington, D.C., on Tuesday potentially exposed personal identifiable information of hundreds of lawmakers and staff.

In a letter obtained by NBC News, Chief Administrative Officer Catherine L. Szpindor said Wednesday that the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI had alerted her to a data breach at DC Health Link, the Affordable Care Act online marketplace that administers health care plans for members of Congress and certain Capitol Hill staff.

“Currently, I do not know the size and scope of the breach, but have been informed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that account information and [personally identifiable information] of hundreds of Member and House staff were stolen,” Szpindor said. “I expect to have access to the list of impacted enrollees later today and will notify you directly if your information was compromised.”

The notice said that the “data included the full names, date of enrollment, relationship (self, spouse, child), and email address, but no other Personally Identifiable Information (PII).”

OBSERVATION - Another day, another govt data breech. Remember, I posted a few days ago the govt claim that all cybersecurity should shift to the govt and away from personal/corporate responsibility. . .


POLITICAL FRONT –

Carlson continues to throw gasoline on the dumpster fire the democrats created with their false depiction of the events of J6. So far he hasn’t buckled to the leftist barrage of criticism and demands for censorship/removal from his job. The MSM continues to do its best to keep sweeping it under the rug, but the interwebs are too uncontrollable now as people are finding out. IIRC, his show where he did the reveal was one of the largest watched segments ever.


North/South Korea –

North Korea fires short-range ballistic missile toward Yellow Sea according to S Korean military spokesman.


Russia -

WAR WATCH - into the second year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022

CURRENT ASSESSMENT
Russian forces have initiated an offensive who’s declared goals are to reach and secure the Luhansk and Donetsk oblast borders — an objective that Russian Chief of General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov had also outlined on December 22, 2022. Troop and equipment build up is being noted

This offensive action is focused on several fronts –
1) the Svatove-Kreminna front,
2) Bahkmut region,
3) Donetsk region and
4) Zaporizhizhia Oblast around the town of Vuhledar.

Russia is rapidly losing its capability to sustain offensive operations in these fronts due to the huge resource drain Bahkmut has created. Some offensive operation will continue to be attempted, however, a lot of assessment indicates they’ve lost the capability to sustain a credible offensive to try to capture the Donbas region having frittered away resources against Bahkmut.

Russia is also capable of launching more cruise/ballistic missile attacks directed against Ukrainian infrastructure -primarily its power grid, but massively reduced inventories of such missiles means these barrages will be further apart.

While Russia has nuclear capability, the probability is low that any will be used in the near future.

********

NUCLEAR THREATS –
Concerns continue over reports that Russian boomer are patrolling off the US east coast.


Ukraine -

WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures rising to the mid 30’s – lower 40s with rain/snow over most of the forecast period

24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Overnight Russia launched another large ballistic/cruise/ drone attack on Ukraine targeting primarly the energy grid. 81 launches reported in total consisting of:

28 Kh-101/Kh-555
20 Kalibr
6 Kh-22
6 Kh-47 Kinzhal
2 Kh-31P
6 X-59
13 S-300
8 Shahed-136/131

34 out of 48 Kh-101/555/Kalibr cruise missiles (71%) and 4/8 Shahed-drones (50%) were shot down. Due to countermeasures all 8 Kh-31P/X-59 did not reach their targets. Missiles were apparently launched in waves – with as many as 7 being noted. At least 15 Russian Tu-95MS Strategic Bombers and several cruisers in the Black Sea served as major launch platforms.

A number of these missiles were tracked flying through Moldovian airspace towards targets in western Ukraine near the Polish border.

The Ukrainian Minister of Energy has announced that Russian Missile Strikes on Energy Infrastructure were reported in the Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr Regions with 3 Thermoelectrical Power Plants in the Country suffering Severe Damage. Kyiv’s mayor says that due to the Russian missile attack they have cut off the electricity for about 15% of customers.

Intense fighting continues to rage around Bahkmut, but Russia cannot seem to seal the deal on taking the city.

Increased fighting in the Donetsk area, particularly on the northern side.

OUTLOOK –
It took about a month for Russian to pull together the missiles used overnight. People will say “see – see all the reports of them running out of missiles are wrong” Well, Russian has gone from near daily attacks to now the interval is approaching a month. The missiles used tell the story as S300’s and obsolete cold war cruise missiles compose a significant portion of the ones used. Even the Iranian Shahed-136/131 were in short supply – 8 launched.

One other take away is that this strategic missile program is not supporting the tactical offensive. Like everything so far, Russian has displayed an incredible ability to fail to coordinate between branches.

More and more govt intelligence sources are echoing the same conclusion that OSINT observers and analysts have come to- that being Russia is close to petering out in its Bahkmut assault. Increasing being noted is the lack of coordination between the groups conducting the assaults – principally Wagner and regular Russian units.

Ukraine has apparently executed a successful drawback in a defense in depth plan that has Russia trying to figure where to go next. Russia is fixated on the capture of the city, but Ukraine’s pull back behind two rivers protecting it northern and eastern margins of the pocket is going to make further Russian assaults more problematic. Russia has sucked on river crossing operations so far during this war. The current configuration of ‘assault units’ is ill prepared to execute raw river crossings (essentially having to swim or wade through the rivers) having no bridging equipment.

Ukraine reinforcements have also been able to stabilize the southern margin of the pocket to the point that logistics routes have become safer for Ukraine to use.

Ukraine’s economy of force / defense in depth operation in Bahkmut is permitting it to prepare for its own offensive while bleeding out Russian soldiers and equipment. Russian has lost a lot of stuff they will need to fend off that offensive.

Expect continued Russian attacks in the Bakhmut region. My assessment is that it is still likely Ukraine may need to fully pull out, but the action over the course of the past week sees that action starting to switch to being less likely. Russia will continue to be lured into this honeypot and ruin its forces.


Moldova/Transnistria -

See Russian missile overflights from last night noted under Ukraine.


Europe / NATO General –

The Georgian Dream Party has officially withdrawn the “Foreign Agent” Bill which had caused civil unrest and protests across the Georgian Capital of Tbilisi over the last 2 nights.

OBSERVATION - This fight isn’t over by a long shot, but for the Russian supporting ‘dream party’ it was a bridge too far and brought the country to the brink of a civil war. Some think that the Russia supporting govt may now shift to targeted arrests of protest leaders to try to crush further opposition.


Black Swans

Another atmospheric river is scheduled to strike kalifornia starting today but this is one to worry about as it is a “Pineapple Express” he main part won’t arrive until Thursday afternoon and last through Friday. Several feet of snow is expected for areas above 6,000 feet in elevation. Below 5,000 feet, such as the Sierra Nevada foothills, rainfall totals are forecasted to range between 2 to 7 inches.

“Will there be a moderate to strong & warm Atmospheric River storm this weekend in CA? Yes. Will there be flooding from hvy rain & snowmelt? Also yes,” UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain tweeted.

OBSERVATION - I warned about this kind of storm hitting and creating chaos. The recent storms had very low snow levels and a lot of snow. The rain-on-snow is the most dangerous scenario for flooding. Stay tuned. Flood watches are being issued.
