took the day off yesterday to stock up on supplies at a case sale, then drive thru the wonderful autumn forests of the Redoubt to a hot springs and soaked for a while.

Globalism / Great Reset –

Like father, like daughter - John Kerry’s daughter has urged government’s to urgently ramp up the WEF’s depopulation propaganda so that the public are mentally prepared for the culling of billions of humans.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is pushing for the criminalization of “climate inaction,” according to a recent article.
“Is climate inaction a human rights violation?” the headline read.”

On Wednesday, a lawsuit went to the European Court of Human Rights, brought forth by six young individuals against 32 European countries. The six individuals are alleging that the countries’ have failed to address the “climate crisis” caused by human activities.

“It’s being described as “unprecedented” in terms of potential impact,” the WEF stated.

OBSERVATION - In addition to more draconian measures, WEF pushing the limit in other venues such as this. They rely on subservient elements to do their dirty work as they cheer (and guide) from the sidelines.

Billionaire climate activist Bill Gates wants farmers to stop using fertilizer, a plan that has already been tried, with catastrophic consequences for food supplies and costs.

Gates denounced fertilizer and livestock as two of the biggest contributors to the global climate change menace, during a recent episode of his Unconfuse Me podcast. Gates commented that “of all the climate areas, the one that people are probably least aware of is all the fertilizer and cows, and that’s a challenge.”

Two years ago, the Sri Lankan government made the decision to ban chemical fertilizers, a decision which ultimately led to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa being forced to flee the country amid an economic crisis - which was, in part, catalyzed by dramatically reduced crop yields.

However, according to a report from the World Food Program, as a result of the sudden shift to total organic farming, “the total cultivated extent declined by 26 percent, resulting in a 52 percent yield loss after the policy change.”

“Suddenly,” Stossel noted, “the same farms produced much less food. Food prices rose by 80 percent.” What resulted thereafter were riots and protests, culminating in the storming of the presidential mansion and President Rajapaksa’s subsequent flight and resignation.

OBSERVATION - I’ve noted Gates efforts against agriculture before. True to WEF tactics, a compliant govt was found to essentially ‘beta test’ the plan. The results are predictable. To the WEF, Sri Lanka is expendable, but the lessons learned will be used to apply to the rest of the globe. Already this year Netherlands is seeking to close up nearly the entirety of its agriculture system, Ireland culling hundreds of thousand of cows, even Canada. etc. Famine is a prime, though unstated goal in the WEFs global depopulation agenda - coming soon as they can secure control in subservient countries.

Economy –

The length and depth of govt response to the impending shutdown will have variable impacts on different sectors of the economy, ranging from air travel, to parks, to transportation, etc. It appears that democrats have no desire for negotiation - and the conservative republicans the same. Both are needed to pass any bills.

Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –

Milley is officially out at the Chair of the Joint Chiefs, in comes General Affirmative action.

The USS Ronald Reagan left port this morning after almost two weeks of failures to launch.

POLITICAL FRONT –

Govt shutdown looks to be unavoidable at this stage. Reports are that the regime is looking to impose the shutdown in ways that hurt the country the most - taking a page out of 0bama’s book.
CNN shock poll places the plurality of the blame on the democrats for any shutdown.

Biden’s impeachment proceedings is on and the circus in high gear.

***
RFK Jr is looking to go independent - political pundits saying he will pull votes from both Rs and Ds. IMHO, biden will be hurt the worst as Kennedy reflects the more moderate base of democrats, which will force biden to the center - at the risk of the ruling leftist progressive controllers of the party.

DiFi kicked the bucket and now comes the great discussion of her replacement. As i noted in an earlier post, harris ‘ name has popped up on the list. Names that have been discussed to finish Feinstein’s term include Holly Mitchell, a Los Angeles county supervisor; Angela Glover Blackwell, a civil rights lawyer in Oakland and the founder of PolicyLink, a research and advocacy nonprofit group; and Shirley Weber, the California secretary of state, according to the Times.
TV’s Oprah Winfrey also has been mentioned, according to The Associated Press.

He has said he would not select any of the declared candidates — Reps. Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff — for the seat.

Illegal Immigration –

Border patrol continues to sever the concertina fence constructed by TX and lets illegals come in.

Russia -

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

CURRENT ASSESSMENT - Updated Sept 27, 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 continue increasingly stretched and undermanned, with increasingly insufficient artillery support.

Ukranian action has forced Russia to move forces laterally to meet the Ukraine advance - thinning critical portions of the line and making them vulnerable to assault.

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. The majority of Russian strikes are with these Iranian drones. Major targets are grain shipping facilities in the Odesa region as well as trying to hit logistical targets across the rest of the country.

Supplemental cruise missile attacks using old models will be occasionally used to supplement the drones.

The Russian Black Sea fleet is increasingly hesitant to deploy into now contested waters. Ukraine’s mixture of seaborne and airborne drones and anti-ship missiles beginning to render areas more or less off limits to Russia. The fleet is reportedly in the process of redeploying out of Crimea and moving east to Russian bases, about 600 Km further away from the front lines.

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 –-
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree setting out the routine autumn conscription campaign, calling up 130,000 citizens for statutory military service, a document posted on the government website showed on Friday.
All men in Russia are required to do a year-long military service between the ages of 18 and 27, or equivalent training while in higher education.
NOTE - This is a routine call up and unlikely to have any effect on the war in Ukraine.

Ukraine –

WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures decreasing from the 70’s to the 60’s with increasing chances of rain showers for the forecast period.

24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian air defense shot down 30 of 40 Russian Shahed drones overnight. Drones targeted areas of central Ukraine.

Fierce fighting continues along the Tokmok axis, but fog of war / OPSEC by both sides hiding the extent and progress. That which does leak out shows Ukraine continuing to successfully clear our Russian trenches and widening the breach. Russia has committed its remaining effective VDV units to the Tokmok fight.

OUTLOOK –
Russia has laterally transferred its few combat effective VDV forces into the Tokmok region. This seems to have slowed Ukraine’s pace a bit, but it still has the major tactical advantage.

Europe / NATO General –

Sweden’s largest opposition party, the Social Democrats, want the Swedish Army to be deployed against gangs formed from migrants. Yesterday , 2 men were shot to death & a 25-y-old woman was killed in a bombing of her apartment building.

OBSERVATION - Sweden has been blessed by ‘diversity’, as these gangs are based in the massive numbers of ‘migrants’ living in the country and in some locations - taking over areas. Coming soon (or is it already here) to the US.

A Russian drone crashed near Galati, 21 km from the Ukrainian border into Romanian land at 2.5 km from a town with a population of 270,000. NATO air police are currently on high alert and flying fighter jets at low altitude.

OBSERVATION - Russia has become increasingly sloppy in its attacks against Ukrainian shipping facilities, and specifically those grain related, that border with Romania. Romania will eventually be forced to down these wayward drones before they reach the country - engaging them over Ukraine. Danger of escalation is high.

SERBIA / KOSOVO -

US - “We are monitoring a large Serbian deployment along the border of Kosovo,” including “unprecedented forward deployment of artillery, tanks, and service members.” “We are calling on Serbia to withdraw those forces.”
In response, NATO considering increase in deployment to northern Kosovo.

OBSERVATION - Most recent incident involved Serbs killling Kosovan police and then holing up in a monastery with a load of military grade weapons this week. The Serbs have been beating a war drum for the past year and more. If they take any action it will be based on their perception that NATO is too tied up with the Ukraine war to have any effective response.

Israel –

Treaty talks with Saudi Arabia continue to move forward in spite of sticking points concerning the Palestinians.

Saudi Arabia –

Central / South America General-

The Biden administration has forged confidential pacts with Ecuador, opening the door for the deployment of U.S. military forces, both on land and on the sea for the South American nation.

The arrangement covers “status of forces and maritime law enforcement agreements.” The maritime component grants permission for U.S. military vessels to operate in the waters off the northwestern coast of South America, a region frequently exploited by Colombian drug cartels for cocaine trafficking, a state spokesperson confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Friday.

OBSERVATION - The key focus is the attack on cocaine trafficking. Drug cartels are undermining the stability of the Ecuador govt and they need the help. This also helps to restore US military presence in S America, something that has been in decline in recent years.

Black Swans

NOAA is announcing that the El Nino is officially in effect and that it has reached ‘super’ levels. Combined with a strong forecast “polar vortex” no one knows as to what this winter will bring.
