Globalism / Great Reset –
This category is not totally empty. A review of many of the following posts will show the thread of activity as a more local level stretching back to the globalists at the WEF et al.
CW2 / Domestic violence -
Political, globalist or CW2 related - can call it all. Bank of America recently ‘debunked’ Indigenous Advanced Ministries - a Memphis, Tennessee-based nonprofit engaged in charitable efforts for orphaned children in Uganda. The ministry was warned without explanation by Bank of America in a letter in April that the organization was “operating in a business type we have chosen not to service at Bank of America” and would be closed within 30 days. An additional letter was sent in May, stating that its “risk profile no longer aligns with the bank’s risk tolerance.”
OBSERVATION - Debanking has been around for a number of years, but recently activity has spiked. A few months ago, JPMorgan Chase was also accused of ‘debanking’ members of conservative and religious groups by 19 Republican states. With rising frequency, clients associated with conservative or religious beliefs report being expelled from financial institutions, including Sam Brownback, former U.S. Ambassador for Religious Freedom and current head of the nonprofit National Committee for Religious Freedom. This renewed debanking campaign also appears to parallel the recent surge in ‘woke’ corporations coming out of the closet.
As CBDC rises and will eventually be forced on Americans (as well as the rest of the world), censorship of unfavorable persons/organizations like those in the recent debanking surge will become almost common, every day events to shut down all opposition to the regime narrative.
Unilateral CBDC enforcement will likely cause substantial blowback and civil unrest.
Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics –
Biden said Friday he plans to request additional funding from Congress for the development of a new COVID-19 vaccine, adding he may require everyone to take it whether they previously received a vaccine or not.
OBSERVATION - Its all about control, and has nothing to do with the disease. General national attitude that I’m sensing is that any mandates will receive strong push back and that overbearing govt response will only hurt biden/democrats at the polls. That will not impact their efforts to steal another election.

More evidence of fraud that should make lawyers salivate. According to Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine label in the FDA’s Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, each Pfizer vaccine dose for children ages 5 through 11 contains 10 micrograms (mcg) of modRNA, while fully-approved Comirnaty authorized for use in individuals 12 years of age and older contains 30 mcg of modRNA.
Pfizer, on its website, confirms its COVID-19 vaccine contains modRNA: “ModRNA stands for nucleoside-modified messenger RNA and in the synthesis of the RNA used in this vaccine platform, some nucleosides, which are important biological molecules that constitute DNA and RNA, are replaced by modified nucleosides to help enhance immune evasion and protein production.” The company says modRNA instructs the cells to produce desired proteins.
Yet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states on its website (pdf) that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are “made of mRNA,” or “messenger RNA.”
Injecting modRNA into the body may lead to adverse events like strokes, cardiovascular complications, pulmonary embolism, and the formation of blood clots—many of which were disclosed in Pfizer’s documents (pdf) but were not attributed to its product.
“It is my opinion that, at a minimum, the intentional use of mRNA—an acronym well-known to stand for messenger RNA along with the endless statements about the vaccines being based on naturally occurring messenger RNA constitute misbranding in violation of a number of laws,” Ohio-based attorney Thomas Renz told The Epoch Times in an email.
OBSERVATION - Pfizer’s and moderna’s immunity from lawsuits carries the caveat of not covering fraud. This is fraud in big letters and the parallel coverup by the CDC drags them into this deception as well.
POLITICAL FRONT –
With the new school year upon us, the aggressive Transtifa syncopates in education are entrenching behind their second line of defense to continue to deny parents their God given, constitutional rights to know what nonsense is happening in the schools. Lawfare on both sides is fierce.

Evidence is coming out that the White House Counsels office met with a top aide to Special Counsel Jack Smith only weeks before he brought charges against former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
The revelation raises major concerns about coordinated efforts to between the Biden administration and Justice Department prosecutors.
OBSERVATION - Two tiered law raises its head once again as Smith’s prosecution (persecution) shows growing evidence of illegalities and guidance by the WH.

The judge has DENIED bail to Harrison Floyd, the former Director of Black Voices for Trump and one of the 19 people indicted in the Georgia case. The denial took place yesterday. He’s the only one in detention there.
OBSERVATION - Punishing a black for straying off the democrat plantation.
Illegal Immigration –
The DHS is being accused of deliberately not releasing the monthly totals of all illegal migrants who wind up getting released into the U.S. after they are encountered by U.S. authorities at the border, a former U.S. immigration judge says.
Andrew Arthur, who served for eight years as an immigration judge at the now-closed immigration court in York, Pennsylvania, told Just the News that DHS does track the total number of migrants released after an encounter with border agents, but making that data available to the public would paint the Biden Administration in a negative light.
“The only reason why ICE and OFO [Office of Field Operations] would refuse to disclose that information is to hide the fact that it is releasing more than 100,000 aliens per month into the United States, and to conceal the effects of those migrant releases on communities across the United States,” he said.
OBSERVATION - This fully fits the MO of the regime - obfuscate the actual extent of the immigration disaster.
Russia -
WAR WATCH - into the second year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
CURRENT ASSESSMENT - Updated August 6, 2023
Russia is on a defensive footing across most of Ukraine, relying on Russian doctrinal defense in depth to blunt the Ukrainian offensive. However, Russian forces are increasingly stretched and undermanned, with increasingly insufficient artillery support.
Russian attempt at launching a counter offensive to take pressure off its southern and eastern fronts has sputtered out. Initially, reports that Russia has amassed about 180,000 troops opposite of Kharkiv morphed into Russian assaults that initially gained some ground but was quickly reversed, due largely to poor coordination between units.
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 Investigative Committee confirmed death of Prigozhin and Utkin due to DNA analysis of bodies retrieved from the aircraft crash in Tver region
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Highs in the 80’s and dry.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian air defense shot down 4 Kh-101 cruise missiles overnight, focused on the Kyiv region.
Still a lot of fog of war concerning the ground combat, particularly in there south but there are some recent OSINT analysis that points to the Russians pulling an airborne/air assault division away from their Kupiansk effort and into the Tokmak fight.
Tokmak Axis -
Still one of the more active OSINT chats on going. Observers noting that Russia had to pull units from the Kupiansk effort to try to stem the Ukrainian offensive successes. Both sides report Ukraine pushing south and southeast of Robotdyn and getting closer to the reportedly less well defended second defense line.
OUTLOOK –
If the reports and speculation are correct, and the depth of the reporting indicates so, Russia has no functional reserve forces in the south - having to pull units from the far northeast efforts around Kupiansk. Such a move would be clearly noticed by Ukraine and prepared for.
This could also account for the failures of the Russian assaults in the Kupiansk region as well, as this would draw units away from the attack.
The question I would have is how much of the airborne/air assault division’s (some say the 76th Air Assault Division) armor, tanks and artillery got moved as well? That is a much larger process. My best guess is that the move composed mostly of men and possibly artillery. Artillery because Ukraine has attained parody with Russia and its counter battery efforts have eaten up Russian artillery units like crazy. Most recent observations suggest that the reinforcement by these elements has done little to stop the offensive passing south of Tokmak.
Ukraine at the moment seems to have found the right mix of force elements to push the initiative towards Tokmak, and the redeployed Russian forces (unknown manning levels) a stop gap measure.
One last observation besides the quickly changing nature of the current operation is that the overall assessment of the so called second line of defense is that far less effort was placed into it and that Russian bet the farm on heavy measures at the first line and the approaches to it. This could make Ukraine attacks to the south easier and quicker.
Poland –
Poland is purchasing weapons systems at a breakneck pace, on track to have the largest army in Europe.
Africa general – WAR WATCH
Niger military units reportedly deployed to key border regions and elements of what ever Wagner has turned into to are joining in country.
Misc of Note –
The first tropical storm of the season has hit Texas and with the clearing of the Saharan dust, storm development is increasing very quickly in the Atlantic.

So far fire season has been relatively restrained. The big eye continues to be kalifornia due to the heavy precipitation received last winter supporting extensive growth of grasses and ladder fuels. As we enter fall and prior to the start of winter rains in Oct/Nov, things historically dry out and mega fires can occur.
Fires in the Pacific northwest have been hot and early, but mitigated by a general drought last winter, meaning less grass and shrubs to spread into forests. Still need to monitor closely if you live in urban/woodland interface areas.
DC's corrupt totalitarian 'elties' and their butt boys in the press want to make it illegal to question our 'institutions'...so we need to speak the truth while we still can: The DOJ is corrupt... they're traitors to all our country stands for - and they don't deserve the respect of the American people.
Economy –
The UAW contract with General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis is set to expire on 14 September, and the union members have voted to authorize a strike.
OBSERVATION - The auto industry is already shaken due to post wuhan conditions, sky high loan interest rates and their questionable all in to convert most of their fleet to EVs that no one wants to buy.

Fannie Mae economists projected in a revised forecast that stagnation in the housing market could last into 2024, whether the economy avoids a recession or not.
“Regardless of whether a soft landing is achieved over the coming year, we expect existing home sales to stay subdued and within a tight range,” they wrote.
Existing home sales have already tumbled 2.2% in July from the previous month to an annual rate of 4.07 million units, according to new data released Tuesday by the National Association of Realtors. On an annual basis, sales of previously owned homes are down 16.6% when compared with the same time last year.
OBSERVATION - As noted many times before, the housing market normally leads the economy out of economic recessions. This forecast suggests that because of the state of the economy - and the linkage to the expected to be historically high mortgage interest rates, the economy may be forced to find another sector to lead out of a recession.
CW2 / Domestic violence -
Forward Observer is noting discussions from the Antifa et al on a change in tactics. They report that the latest edition of an anarchist online magazine calls for “gray bloc” tactics, which are more subtle than militant “black bloc” but still allow for disruptive action. As opposed to black bloc, where militants are dressed in all black, gray bloc tactics allow militants to blend into local crowds, conceal their identity, and still carry out direct action.
OBSERVATION - I’ve seen a lot more ‘grey’ in leftists counterprotests lately, and far fewer in ‘black’. Black bloc is intimidating when in large numbers, but they just haven’t been able to get the numbers out. And when everyone is in black the selected violent elements can blend in to the black clad crowds. The ‘grey’ method does have a drawback in that participants are still wearing masks — which identifies them as leftists at these events.

Stores lost an estimated $86.6 billion to retail theft in 2022, and projections indicate that in 2025, the amount may reach $115 billion, according to Capitol One Shopping Research.
Organized retail crime, which increased on average by 26.5% in 2021, is the driving force, the study says.
Retailers, on average, saw a 26.5% increase in organized retail crime (ORC).
“Eight in 10 retailers surveyed report that the violence and aggression associated with ORC incidents increased in the past year,” the 2022 Retail Security Survey says.
OBSERVATION - This could be why Antifa et al is finding it hard to mass protest, as the crowds they rely upon no longer need to wait for a riot to loot, but are doing it on a daily basis.
Once again, I’m looking farther out to what will happen once the stores in these Soros DA’d, BLM/Antifa hell holes are totally boarded up and closed. How far past the adjacent suburbs will this type of crime continue? How high of a potential for vigilante / self defense actions against organized looting is there?
POLITICAL FRONT –
A still partially vacationing biden is beginning to make plans for a govt shut down the end of Sept as congress is constipated in getting the funding for FY24 out the door. Biden will likely use authorities under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to exempt military personnel funding from any automatic cuts if Congress does not meet the debt-ceiling deal deadline to pass 12 spending bills.
Schumer and other senate leaders indicate that a CR will be used to kick the final funding plan down the road to avoid any shutdown.
**
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy continues to play hot potato with the demands for impeachment proceedings against biden as well as some of his henchmen. He is saying it may be on the agenda after they return from August break.
OBSERVATION - McCarthy has turned into the spineless idiot most believed he was and I don’t expect the house to go forward with this at all before the election.

Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Highs in the 80’s and dry.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian air defense shot down 2 of 4 Kaliber missiles and 2 Kh-59 missiles overnight
The major ground action continues to be on the Tokmak axis with Robotyne liberated and Ukranian forces advancing towards Novoprokopivka and Ocheretuvate to the south and southeast respectively. OPSEC and fog of war obscure much of the details of the action, but overall Ukraine is making significant tactical gains.
The Primus, a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier, left Odesa on Saturday, heading towards Istanbul en route to Senegal. This is the second container ship to leave Ukraine through the temporary Black Sea corridor established by Ukraine’s government after Russia withdrew from the BSGI
Tokmak Axis -.
Unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian troops are getting closer to liberating Verbove after having broken through Russian defensive lines in front of the settlement. Russian mil-bloggers are reporting that the AFU has broken through to Verbove. No confirmation from the AFU General Staff
This is the southeastern prong from the Robotyne breakthrough
Kupiansk Front -
RUMINT. More than 100,000 Russian soldiers are reported to be concentrated in the Lymansky and Kupyansk region, and the Russian artillery attacks there have increased
NOTE - Similar build up was noted a month ago. At that time the force size was 250k a month ago.
Western / Central Ukraine ——
Russian missile strike targeted an oil manufacturing plant in Hoholeve village of Myrhorod district of Poltava region
OUTLOOK –
Russia continues to find itself in a hard place along the Tokmak axis. Ukraine is successfully exploiting weaker Russian defenses and avoiding strong points, creating conditions where Russians are being cut off and endanger of being encircled - causing them to break out and retreat. Indicators are that many times the retreats are chaotic and end up in Russia troops being cluster munitions bait.
OSINT indicates that Ukraine is pressing the attack using two mechanized brigade size forces - the largest combined attack force allegedly so far. When Ukraine is able to capture the high ground south of Robotyne, things will get very nasty for Russian forces to the south.
As always, things can change very quickly.
Poland –
Poland is investigating a suspected Russian cyberattack on its national railway network. The attack destabilized traffic in northwestern Poland and builds on the fears of hybrid threats emanating from Russia and Belarus
OBSERVATION - This could be and Article 5 violation if shown to be launched by Russia or sponsored entity.
Europe / NATO General –
Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite said that the country’s MIA will soon officially send a proposal to the government to close two more checkpoints on the border with Belarus.
If Pryvalka-Raigardas and Katlouka-Lavoriskes are closed, there will be only two border crossings on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border:
• Kamenny Loh - Medininkai;
• Beniakoni - Salcininkai.
In addition, Poland’s Minister of Interior and Administration Mariusz Kaminski said that in case of a critical incident, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia would close the border with Belarus at once. Bilotayte confirms that the countries have agreed on a common response in case of critical incidents.
According to her, there are 2 general criteria for such a decision:
• Armed incident or incidents near the border of one of the countries.
“It must be one that poses a serious threat to the countries’ national security.”
Organized mass migrant breakthrough.
OBSERVATION - Prior to the Ukraine war, the Belarus govt was supporting the illegals migration into the Baltic regions and Poland. This in itself nearly started a war. Now there is evidence that Belarus may be trying to up the ante again to disrupt via illegals migrants. This could quickly create a substantial war with NATO.
Saudi Arabia –
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is considering alternative bids from China, Russia, and France to develop domestic nuclear facilities, including those used to enrich uranium.
OBSERVATION - Key indicator that the US is losing influence over the region.
