Globalism / Great Reset –
UN - “The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived. The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.”
OBSERVATION - I noted at least a year ago that the next global crisis will be that of global warming and that the ‘crisis’ will be used to generate a lockdown similar to that used for wuhan. The compliance of the sheeple in that plandemic formed the template for future actions by the global elite. Already the hype is in overdrive -
- Hottest July in tens of thousands of years
- Hottest ocean temperatures ever
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/07/28/how-to-push-a-climate-crisis-hoax-floridas-record-ocean-temperature/
- ocean currents are at the point of collapse.
There are some key hurdles that have to be cleared before such a global emergency can not only be declared but enforced. First is the subjugation of the sheeple burned by the wuhan hoax to once again submit to the global/govt overlords. Second, political situations in the US and other nations have to shift to an even more totalitarian footing where rule by executive order is largely unchallenged by opposition parties/elements. Third, the huge PR/propaganda play has to cow enough sheeple to provide social cover for the totalitarian laws/rules to go into place.
No clue as to how soon these and other pieces will come together, but the increased fervor of the effort belies the fact that they want it sooner than later.
Economy –
The U.S. rig count is down by 13% over the last year, according to figures from the Baker Hughes rig count posted on Friday.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by five to 664, according to the last count held on July 28. As compared to totals from last year, there are now 103 fewer rigs than on July 29, 2022.
OBSERVATION - This will only get worse as new fees and royalties get slammed onto exploration - all in the effort to kill the petroleum industry. This will in the long term, create potential fuel shortage disasters should our off shore sources cease (combined with an essentially empty oil reserve). The consequences to the overall economy are at a nuclear level disaster should our enemies stop the flow of foreign oil.
IN RELATED - Gasoline prices have risen for the past 8 weeks.
CW2 / Domestic violence -
Nearly half of millennials believe that misgendering a transgender person should be considered a crime, according to a new poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek.
According to Newsweek, “44 percent of those aged 25-34 think ‘referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense.’”
Thirty-one percent (31%) of millennials surveyed disagreed with the notion that it should be a crime and the remainder reported they “neither agree nor disagree” or “don’t know.”
Newsweek also stated, “[t]his view remains popular for those aged 35-44, among whom 38 percent think misgendering should be illegal, whilst 35 percent disagree and 26 percent either don’t know or didn’t express an opinion.”
It was quite a contrast to the population at large, where 65% of Americans said it should not be considered a crime, only 19% thought it should be, and the remainder were unwilling to give a definitive answer.
OBSERVATION - Of note, most of the supporters / foot soldiers of Antifa and other violent leftist outfits are in the sub 34 yr old category. This is further evidence of growing willingness by the left to use violence as a means to obtain its ends.
Strategic Activity / Deployments –
The B-21 Raider accomplished its first “power on” test in recent months, moving it another step closer to a first flight that is still scheduled to take place before the end of 2023, Northrop Grumman officials announced July 27.
POLITICAL FRONT –
Just more chest beating by republicans and democrats alike. Things will get real hot when they get back from August recess and have to deal with the budget.
North/South Korea –
Ukrainian soldiers were observed using North Korean rockets that they said were seized by a “friendly” country before being delivered to Ukraine, the Financial Times reported on Saturday. Ukraine’s defense ministry suggested the arms were captured from the Russians, the newspaper said.
Ukraine were reportedly saying these rockets had “unusual” ballistic pattern (IE, they were not very accurate).
NK has repeatedly said they have not supplied munitions to Russia.
Russia -
WAR WATCH - into the second year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
CURRENT ASSESSMENT - Updated July 9, 2023
Russia is on a defensive footing across most of Ukraine, relying on Russian doctrinal defense in depth to blunt the Ukrainian offensive. With Ukraine lacking air superiority, Russia has taken chance in using its aircraft (helicopters and fast movers) to more directly assist its ground forces, though at an increasing loss of airframes.
The month plus of Ukraine offensive action has forced Russia to give up terrain on all fronts - most notably in the Bakhmut area where Russian forces are now being in danger of being encircled.
Russian reserves are increasingly being used to try to stop Ukrainian advances. Just how big and combat capable of a reserve force is debatable. Reports that Russia has amassed about 180,000 troops opposite of Kharkiv may be a ploy to freeze some of the Ukraine forces out of the offensive to the south. However, this number includes cooks, bottle washers and other logistic elements, so the ‘teeth’ numbers are likely much lower.
Russia’s strategic ballistic and cruise missiles continue to show evidence of massively reduced inventories. Recent attacks indicate the Russia has started to produce its own Shahed drones with Iranian assistance. Russia capable of continued, though limited, attacks in this arena.
Russia is capable of launching small scale attacks in various sectors of company and small sized elements, but any large scale offensive action in the face of the heavy demands from defending against the Ukrainian offensive are essentially nil.
Russian Personnel Issues –-
New rumors concerning another military callus of 500K to be ready for way by fall. Recently, the conscription age was raised from 18-27 to 18-30.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Warm with some highs in the upper 60s to 90’s with mid week forecast of thunderstorms.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
News from the front is relatively quiet from reporters on both sides overnight as opposed to yesterday. Observers note that when Ukraine is up to something, they do a good job at OPSEC in the interwebs. Russian milbloggers are noted to go quiet when things are going really bad.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged missiles, each striking targets. Russian missiles however continued to strike civilian targets while Ukraine missiles are believed to have hit miilitary ones (OPSEC).
OUTLOOK –
I expect that Ukraine is in the process of exploiting the break through of Russian defenses and mop up operations. Russia is believed to have committed most of its operational reserves to stop the initial Ukraine offensive, so they may have very little left to block any breakthroughs.. With the attempted Russian counter offensive in the Kharkiv region quickly stalling out, and continued Ukraine pressure around Bakhmut, pulling forces from the west to the south are problematical.
Combined with deep command and logistical interdiction by Ukraine assets, Ukraine ground forces so far have out maneuvered the more fixed Russian defensive lines and the threat of encirclement may cause Russian resistance to crumble. Depending on how good the Russian command and leadership is will determine how orderly these Russian forces will pull back.
There is no doubt in my mind that Ukraine is swinging for the fence, knowing that the summer season is coming to a close and they need to reach Crimea (or at least cut off the ‘land bridge’) as soon as possible.

Central / South America General-
Haiti - The embassy further warned that the U.S. government could only offer “extremely limited” assistance and that remaining government personnel were prohibited from leaving the area around the embassy.
The U.S. State Department ordered all government personnel to evacuate the Caribbean nation of Haiti amid a significant rise in gang violence and domestic turmoil.
The embassy in Port-au-Prince announced a “Do Not Travel” order, citing heightened risk of kidnapping. Non-emergency government personnel were also ordered to leave the country.
“Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure,” the warning reads. “On July 27, 2023, the Department of State ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees and non-emergency U.S. government employees.”
“U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges. U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and only do so when considered safe,” it continued.
The embassy further warned that the U.S. government could only offer “extremely limited” assistance and that remaining government personnel were prohibited from leaving the area around the embassy. They further may not use public transportation or taxis, visit banks or use ATMs, drive at night, or travel anywhere without authorization.
OBSERVATION - The perennial hell-hole of a ‘country’ continues to fall apart under anarchy and violence. Political corruption is rampant and power is in the hands of gangs. Hate to be too dystopian, but in some ways Haiti can serve as a warning to what might happen in our densely populated urban areas in the event that things go very sideways.here.
Globalism / Great Reset –
Another push forward by the globalists. Europe’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is coming online this August. The DSA aims to curtail illegal online activity and restrict targeted advertising. The largest companies, those with over 45 million European users, will face fines of up to 6% of their annual turnover if they fail to comply with the new rules.
However, the DSA also contains provisions for combating disinformation, which means that it can be used to police online speech. It contain a crisis mechanism that will grant the European Commission much more power to restrict speech in times of crisis. In the law, “crisis” has been given the broad definition of extraordinary circumstances that can lead to a “serious threat to public security or public health.”
OBSERVATION - Control of information is critical to a tyrannical global government - and we continue to see how the biden regime utilized censorship across social media to curtail contrary - and often very correct - information to the public.

New on the scene is Worldcoin — a new financial system connected to sensitive biometric information - primarily eye scans for biometric ID. One of the goals of Worldcoin is -
“The goal is simple and modest: To create a system that will, eventually, freely distribute tokens to all eight billion people on the planet, as a form of universal basic income (UBI). But because the rise of AI will make it tricky to figure out who is human and who’s a digital fake, Worldcoin first needs to create a system that lets people — all people, across the globe — prove that they are in fact human beings.”
They claim that they will keep the biometric data “safe”, but even Stevie Wonder can see where this is heading. This is just another effort to condition sheeple into acceptance of biometric identification that later can be merged with your social credit / financial rating and control your purchases and freedoms.

On Thursday, Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen announced the appointment of a climate czar charged with using the “full force of the Treasury Department” to inflict climate component of the Biden Administration’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda on the U.S. financial system.
Ethan Zindler, appointed to serve as the new Climate Counselor, comes to the Treasury Department from BloombergNEF (BNEF) - a provider of data, research and analysis used to rate how well companies have succumbed to ESG goals, such as eliminating carbon (“net-zero”) – where he served as Head of the Americas.
Sec. Yellen says Zindler will “take decisive action to fight climate change” and use the “full force of the Treasury Department on domestic and international policymaking.”
Yellen promises that, as climate czar, Zindler will “develop and advance a robust climate finance agenda” and “further spur on historic clean energy investments across the United States.”
OBSERVATION - The regime is pushing this agenda absent congressional support or even that of the citizens of this county. Of particular note is the desired enforcement of “international policymaking”. States have been fighting the ESG efforts of financial titans like BlackRock with some success, but this brings the push to a whole higher level. You will kill the economy to force ‘clean’ energy investments.
CW2 / Domestic violence -
There appears to be a new kid on the block. A group calling itself “Blood Tribe” and carrying flags in Watertown Wisconsin protesting a Pride event. Many are indicating that this is likely another fed based false flag group as they note similar Fed uniform clothing and masks to those used by Patriot Front, another group believed to be a Fed false flag outfit as well.
OBSERVATION - NAZI - real NAZI elements may well carry over the eugenic thoughts of Hitler, and in doing so tightly screen its membership to meet those standard. Ditto to uniforms. Coincidences in appearances do not necessarily mean feds. The hard left turn of the regime and deep swamp - in some ways trying to trigger a race war of sorts - becomes fertile ground for extremists on the right. Further actions of this new group warrant close monitoring.

Chicago residents finally realize what it means to vote Democrat as their city is being overran by illegals. Some residents are even threatening violence.
“They got one more time to deal with it ‘cause otherwise… they’re gonna deal with it from the streets. We’re gonna take over it. Nobody’s gonna be able to stop us from what we’re gonna do to ‘em.”
OBSERVATION - Entitlement class vs entitlement class. This has the potential of becoming a resource based ‘war’. The black community is seeing benefits and priorities shifted away from them to illegals. This conflict of the entitled has the potential to spread to other major metro areas.
Terrorism -
Fresno County authorities discovered an “unlicensed laboratory” inside a warehouse in Reedley, California. The secret lab was owned by Prestige BioTech – a company registered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Prestige BioTech claimed it moved assets to the warehouse from the now-defunct Universal Meditech Inc.
Over 900 mice were located at the facility. Court documents identify Wang Zhaolin as the Prestige representative onsite during the investigation. Zhaolin informed the investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Court documents describe the conditions under which the mice were housed as “inhumane.”
CDC found potentially infectious agents at the location. These included both bacterial and viral agents, including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.
Officials reportedly could not find any California-based address for Prestige BioTech or Universal Meditech.
“The other addresses provided for identified authorized agents were either empty offices or addresses in China that could not be verified,” court documents declared, acording to NBC News.
OBSERVATION - Think back to the unusual numbers of Chinese males coming across the border. A bio-attack against the US would be well within the plans and designs of China (same as cyber attacks - see below). There is no reason a legitimate company would do such illegal undercover research unless there was something nefarious being planned.
POLITICAL FRONT –
The paddle board ‘death’ of 0bama’s chef has raised even more questions. New information from police report says Tafari Campbell was on the water with another woman at the time of his death.
This has raised questions of what he was doing on the water with another ‘woman’ as he is married and has kids
Also why would they not reveal the name of the other paddle border? To protect her? And who is this ‘her’. 0bama’s daughters left the mansion and flew out of state immediately after the death was reported and now some are suggesting he may have been doing something with one of them.
0bama meanwhile, has been pictured at a golf course with bandaged injures to his fingers and what appears to be a black eye.
Is the the reason Michelle and Barack being so quiet?

On Friday, James O’Keefe published his interview with Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. The two luminaries discussed lawsuits, Anthony Fauci, Fear as a political tool, the FBI, the presidency and more. Shortly thereafter Youtube deleted the video posting stating, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” Can you say “election interference”.
Cyber attacks/warfare –
The Biden administration believes China has implanted malware in key US power and communications networks in a “ticking time bomb” that could disrupt the military in event of a conflict, The New York Times reported Saturday.
The Times, quoting US military, intelligence and security officials, said the malware potentially gave China’s People’s Liberation Army the ability to disrupt US military operations if Beijing were to move against Taiwan at some point.
The systems affected, the Times said, could allow China not only to cut off water, power and communications to US military bases, but also to homes and businesses across the United States.
The report comes two months after Microsoft warned that state-sponsored Chinese hackers had infiltrated critical US infrastructure networks.
Authorities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain warned at the same time that Chinese hacking was likely taking place globally, affecting an extensive range of infrastructure.
OBSERVATION - The hunt for malware has been ongoing under the radar. If present, this software would cause intermediate length disruptions across the spectrum of targets. An attack would force agencies to manually control some aspects of infrastructure - manually turning water valves on/off for instance. It would create enough chaos in the short term to allow them a degree of strategic advantage in the event of a conflict. This malware / cyber warfare has long been part of China’s total war philosophy.
One additional note - the intrusions were originally detected against Guam - HQ for many Pacific forces that would be among the first to respond to Chinese aggression against Taiwan among other areas.

Still sorting the news on this tidbit out, but it seems to be a combination between cyber warfare and potential terrorism.
The Pentagon is investigating what it has called a “critical compromise” of communications across 17 Air Force facilities by one of its engineers, according to a search warrant obtained by Forbes. The document also details evidence of a possible breach of FBI communications by the same employee, who worked at the Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee.
The government had been tipped off by a base contractor that the 48-year-old engineer had taken government radio technologies home, effectively stealing them for his own use, according to the warrant, which alleged the amount of pilfered equipment was worth nearly $90,000.
When law enforcement raided his home, they found he had “unauthorized administrator access” to radio communications tech used by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC), “affecting 17 DoD installations,” according to the warrant. The AETC is one of nine “major commands,” defined by the Pentagon as “interrelated and complementary, providing offensive, defensive, and support elements” to Air Force HQ.
During the raid, investigators also discovered an open computer screen showing the suspect was running a Motorola radio programming software, “which contained the entire Arnold Air Force Base (AAFB) communications system,” according to the warrant.
They also claimed to have found evidence the suspect had possible access to communications of the FBI and various Tennessee state agencies, though authorities did not provide more information on what data he had obtained.
OBSERVATION - Gaining access to national level secure comms- much of which travel the electronic freeway -is a grave national security breach. Not sure how far along this individual got, or his background (indicating potential consumers of the data access) but it is very concerning.
Illegal Immigration –
See Chicago pushback above under CW2 / Domestic violence
**
Ten thousand migrants were apprehended in just one week, in just the Tucson Sector of America’s southern border alone, Chief Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector John Modlin reported Friday:
OBSERVATION - The summer heat generally leads to a slowing down of illegal crossings. However, the rate continues to be high and more illegals are reportedly pushing thru Mexico to reach the border.
China –
US dependency on Chinese made electrical transformers has resurfaced in the interwebs. A grave concern in the event of an attack on the electrical grid via malware or and nuclear EMP strike, as most of the massive transformers on the nations grid are custom made and none are just sitting around in a warehouse to serve as replacements. This strangle hold by China is just another facet of their total war strategy.

NUCLEAR THREATS –
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who has sometimes raised the specter of a nuclear conflict over Ukraine, said on Sunday that Moscow would have to use a nuclear weapon if Kyiv’s ongoing counter-offensive was a success.
NOTE - Medvedev has been threatening nukes since before the war started. This does not suggest that we should take the threat unseriously - there is evidence of enough instability in Moscow and with putin to realize such a desperate act cannot be ruled out.
Russian Personnel Issues –-
Rumors that construction workers in Melitipol have been commandeered and forced into the military and sent to the front.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Warm with some highs in the upper 60s to 90’s with mid week forecast of thunderstorms.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
More tight OPSEC from the fronts overnight. Could be reporting issues on the intel streams I monitor. RUMIT suggests that Ukraine has made some serious advances past the Russian ‘first’ line of defense and is something like 7 km from the second line - after which things open up.
Big news is that two Ukraine drones hit Moscow overnight. One was shot down and exploded on the ground. The second found its target - a secret Ministry of Economic Development office on the 10th floor of this skyscraper. At least 6 government ministries occupy this building. The offices are guarded by Putin’s Federal Protective Service (FSO).
Things got more difficult for Russian tourists in Crimea. Following the serious damage to the Kersch Strait Bridge, Ukraine struck the Chonhar bridge which connects Crimea to temporarily-occupied Khersonshchyna. This is the ‘land bridge’ route back to Russia many tourists have been force to use. Now, crowded with tourists, the way out of Crimea has been made worse and they will be clogging roads - delaying Russian supply and troop movements.
OUTLOOK –
Its clear that the Ukraine offensive is pushing onward and that its strategy of command and logistical interdiction appears to be paying off. It is coming at a cost but it seems the cost is currently higher for the Russians who are suffering from lack of reserves and supplies. The extent of the recent actions may become more apparent in the next few days as news continues to be on a tight hold.
Ukraine UAV attacks on Moscow overnight has sent shockwaves through the locals who largely have been isolated from the war except the scripted propaganda. Russia has taken great steps to avoid mandates conscription of those around Moscow to avoid creating turmoil the mobilizations have created in other parts of Russia. Now the war has come to them and it will be interesting to see Russia’s response.
Belarus -

IN RELATED - The new ‘base camp’ for Wagner is noted to be closer to Moscow than its push towards that city during the uprising.
Poland –
A group of a hundred soldiers from the Russian Wagner group have moved closer to the Belarusian city of Grodno near the Polish border, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Saturday. “The situation is getting increasingly dangerous… Most likely they (the Wagner personnel) will be disguised as the Belarusian border guard and help illegal migrants get to the Polish territory (and) destabilize Poland,”
OBSERVATION - The concern is the Suwalki Gap - a strip of land that connects Poland to Lithuania and isolates Kaliningrad from Belarus. Russian would very much like another land bridge to this territory and Poland is concerned that Wagner antics may trigger a war with Belarus and Russia (Kaliningrad). See map of region below
