Globalism / Great Reset –
NOTE - Globalists depend on local action to further its overall goals and objectives. They coordinate these efforts.

On November 8th 2023, a virtual launch event took place for what was termed the “50-in-5” agenda.
The United Nations, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and partners of the Rockefeller Foundation are launching a campaign to accelerate digital ID, digital payments, and data-sharing rollouts in 50 countries under the umbrella of digital public infrastructure (DPI) by 2028.
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has announced plans to roll out “digital IDs” worldwide by the year 2030, and they will be mandatory for people who wish to participate in society, say Reclaim the Net, who advocate for free speech and individual liberty online,
Social Credit System The push for DigitalPublic Infrastructure (DPI) which includes. “Digital IDs,” vaccine passports, and central bank digital currencies (CBDC) – is being championed by the globalist WEF and unsurprisingly is backed by Bill Gates along with the UN, and the European Union (EU).
The Sociable editor Tim Hinchliffe says “Advocates are adamant that DPI is essential for participation in markets and society — just like we saw with vaccine passports — only on a much broader scope and “If successful, DPI will give governments and corporations the power to implement systems of social credit that can determine where and how you can travel, what you are allowed to consume, and how you will be able to transact with your programmable money.
The “50 in 5” bills itself as “a country-led advocacy campaign. By 2028, the 50-in-5 campaign will have helped 50 countries design, launch, and scale components of their digital public infrastructure,” according to the official announcement. The 50 countries are designated as global testbeds, and the DPI’s will first in Africa (sub-Saharan, particularly) and India but the plan is to roll digital IDs globally by 2030 to include all citizens of UN member-states, according to Planet Today
OBSERVATION - At the current trend, digital files like this will easily be accomplished by 2028. An easy step to global digital id’s.

Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr is calling the Biden administration’s “digital equity” plan for all internet services and infrastructure an “unlawful power grab.”
“President Biden’s plan hands the Administrative State effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure in the country. Never before, in the roughly 40-year history of the public Internet, has the FCC (or any federal agency for that matter) claimed this degree of control over it. Indeed, President Biden’s plan calls for the FCC to apply a far-reaching set of government controls that the agency has not applied to any technology in the modern era, including Title II common carriers,” Carr said in a statement on Monday.
“Congress never contemplated the sweeping regulatory regime that President Biden asked the FCC to adopt—let alone authorized the agency to implement it,” he said.
If passed, the FCC would be empowered, for the first time, to regulate every ISP’s service termination terms, use of customer credit, account history, credit checks, and account termination, among many other items.
OBSERVATION - A few days old, but is very pertinent. It has been clearly established that the regime coordinated with Big Tech / social media to censor posters, reports, etc that were true but contrary to the narrative they wanted to force feed the sheeple. Now they are resorting to another trick they’ve used with other alphabet agencies to get their way on other topics - trying to use regulatory powers not granted by congress/law. The regime won’t have to coordinate anymore- they would dictate.
Similar new internet law have sprung up elsewhere - such as the EU which is demanding that US based social media - primarily targeted “X” - to censor postings. Control of the information space is critical for the future globalist powers to develop and maintain power - shades of 1984.

The government of Brazil is threatening to cut welfare payments if parents refuse to give their children the dangerous and ineffective COVID-19 injections once a year.
The government-owned news agency Agência Brasil reported that the COVID injections will be added to the National Immunization Program (PNI), making the shots mandatory for children aged six months to five years, starting in 2024, even though numerous studies have shown that COVID poses virtually no risk to children.
OBSERVATION - Once again, the jab is being introduced and forced as a population control measure.
Economy –
Economists are still looking at their tea leaves trying to discern 2024. The economic markers and gauges used in the past are being tightly skewed by the continuing issues of the post-wuhan lockdown and massive federal spending of the past few years. Some see a definite economic slowdown in 2024, but uncertain if it would reach the levels for a declared recession. You can bet the powers that be will do everything in their power to censor and deny a recession in the middle of a presidential election cycle.

Tanker tracking data suggests that the highest number of vessels in years is headed to the U.S. to pick up crude oil cargoes. As a result of rising production and often favorable arbitrage economics, exports have grown so much that oil is on track to be the largest export item for the United States this year for the first time in history.
OBSERVATION - The bad part of this is we don’t have the refinery facilities to process the oil here, and are reliant on imports for that. On the good side, oil is maintaining a degree of competitiveness in the face of biden regime persecution .
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
I’ve mentioned before the growing anti-colonialist movement - an umbrella for many anarchist and now anti-israeli groups. This concept is rooted in CRT in response to their continued bleating how they are continually enslaved by “colonists” and such need to be forever cleared out of society - code words for white genocide.
The Gaza war appears to be becoming the ‘glue’ that is pulling these anarcho-marxist groups together- much like the BLM riots did. As non-violent protests fail to change US policy, expect them to fully embrace violence once again.
Now add to the mix the most probable presidential candidate - Trump - who represents to the anti-colonialists the epitome of the rich, white oppressor and capitalist. This could result in increasing the fervor of the left and increase the scale of violence.
2024 could well be the most violent period our country has faced outside of civil war.

Anti-Israel protestors (most likely core Antifa elements) showed up at Gal Gadot’s screening of the video of 10/7 atrocities at the Museum of Tolerance in LA tonight. They immediately began attacking Israel supporters there. Israelis fought back.
Before the streetfights occurred, several leftist groups like the DSA were calling for action. Police did eventually show up and order everyone to disperse. Another radical group - “Jewish Voice for Peace,” a pro-terror organization that exploits Jewish identity to cover for violent Palestinian extremists also participated in the call up.
OBSERVATION - Classical Antifa - like response. Better expect a lot more of this kind of violence.
***
Atlanta Antifa terror and RICO suspect Ayla Elegla King, of Worchester, Mass., appeared at the arraignment. Her attorney asked the judge to release the names of the grand jury who indicted the 61 violent suspects. This was denied.
OBSERVATION - Antifa and far-left extremists have often tried to dox jurors to intimidate them or threaten acts of revenge.
***
Suspect in murder of Detroit synagogue leader Samantha Woll taken into custody. Won’t release details of the suspect. Investigators said in an October press conference that there were no signs of forced entry, and that Woll had her phone and ID with her. He would not provide a possible motive.
OBSERVATION - Most likely the perp is a member of a protected class - a black criminal or a moslem radical. Given that nothing was stolen, weight shifts to islamic radical who’s identity police likely will likely try to keep under wraps to prevent “islamophobia”.
***
CAIR, the radical spokespersons and apologists for radical islam following the 9/11 attacks has crawled out from beneath its rock, trying to gain spotlight thru the Gaza war. It has used its time flying under the radar to become an accepted member of Washington’s lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.” CAIR is now trying to use that clout to further the genocidal efforts against Israel

Seven Nashville police officers have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into how the ‘manifesto’ of school shooter Audrey Hale leaked online. Nashville Police Department told WSMV that the officers were suspended after a probe into how three pages of notes written by Hale before she opened fire at The Covenant School in March. She fatally shot three nine-year-olds and three teachers before being shot dead by police.
OBSERVATION - Obsession with keeping the details about this case under wraps - because the perp displayed all the evidence of the brainwashing cult of the trans movement and their hatred of everything not trans.
POLITICAL FRONT –
Sparks are still flying in the aftermath of the so called Republican debate. Perhaps a highlight many are talking about is Vivek Ramaswamy tongue lashing of Ronna McDaniel TO HER FACE over her sub, sub par record as RNC chair. She was later overheard trashing Ramaswamy saying ‘He Won’t Get a Cent From Us’.
In doing so she clearly violated the mandated neutrality of the RNC chair.
OBSERVATION - IMHO, none of the debaters last night will get the GOP nod to run for president - that is strongly wrapped up by Trump. I have serious concerns over Vivek’s policies and some obfuscation on issues, but he does have a way of being a fighter and said what needed to be said in many ways.

The full extent of the kangaroo court that is brewing in NYC is coming to the surface. The judge has posted images of his partially clothed body on social media site of his school. His wife’s X account (which she claims she never had) was exposed and Xeets of her anti-Trump rants - especially those related to the case her husband is sitting, exposed.
Biden / Harris Watch –
Increasing pressure for Biden to step down as candidate for 2024 as his poll numbers continue to crumble and democrats become increasingly nervous of a Trump landslide and long associated coattails.
Illegal Immigration –
Gov. Maura Healy announced this week there are 40 to 50 new families arriving in the state every day and seeking state assistance with housing, and the influx of people to Massachusetts — many without a lawful presence in the U.S. — has pushed the state’s shelter system close to its 7,500-family limit, according to a report in the Boston Herald.
Massachusetts has a “right-to-shelter law,” which entitles migrant families to taxpayer-funded emergency shelter. The Bay State is the only one in the country with a statewide right-to-shelter law, signed into law in 1983 by Gov. Michael Dukakis.
Healy, a Democrat, said she hopes the crisis doesn’t devolve into homeless people sleeping at Boston’s Logan Airport or in emergency rooms. She also suggested other states should consider accepting migrants.
OBSERVATION - Its coming home to these self declared “sanctuary” states and cities. This is going to create even more stress as crime correspondingly increases and friction between ethnic groups develop in the fight over resources - in this case housing.
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.
Ukrainian 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.
Logistics –
RUMINT??? The Wall Street Journal reports that “Russia asks Belarus, Pakistan, Egypt and Brazil to return weapons sold to them due to huge losses in Ukraine”
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Continued cool, 40’s- 50’s with scattered rain.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Russian forces are attempting counter attacks in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka areas. Russian milbloggers continue to report additional Ukraine armor being shuttled across the Dniper River near Kherson.
Ukraine says a Russian jet hit a Liberian-flagged commercial vessel entering the port of Odesa with a missile, killing the pilot and injuring other sailors. It is being called an act of piracy. Some suggest that this is in revenge for the Ukraine missile attack that destroyed a Russian corvette earlier last week.
OUTLOOK - Continued status quo along all fronts. The most significant of current battles/operations are those to improve their local tactical situation versus larger offensive actions.
Russian attack on the Liberian flagged cargo ship could be the start of a more aggressive push against shipping to Ukraine - to include grain cargos. That would allow Ukraine justification to do the same to cargo vessels headed to Russian Black Sea ports.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Hamas leaders admit they hope for ‘permanent’ war, do not care about running Gaza.
- Israeli forces continue to discover weapons storage and production sites located in schools and residential houses across N Gaza. Closely associated are entrances to underground bunkers.
- Claims being made that Hamas forces are increasingly becoming disenchanted and demoralized.
GENERAL ——————————-
The Israel Defense Force has stated that over 50,000 Palestinians have been evacuated from northern to southern Gaza over the last 3 Days, utilizing IDF protected evacuation routes which prevent Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad from launching attacks against the evacuees as has happened on previous occasions.
Israel is keeping those evacuation routes open.

Minister of Communications Dr. Shlomo Karai appealed to well-known media outlets such as CNN, Reuters, the New York Times and the AP agency with a request to immediately provide qualified explanations regarding the revealing publication about the “involvement” of journalists acting on their behalf in the events of the bloody October 7 massacre .
According to the ‘Honest Reporting’, these journalists, together with Hamas’ terrorists entered Israeli territory and filmed massacres and atrocities that were happening in the communities bordering the Gaza Strip.
Photographers working for AP, Reuters, nytimes and CNN were embedded with Hamas on the Oct 7th massacre. Did they know about the attack beforehand?! Rhetorical question - of course they did.
OBSERVATION - These are serious charges, journalists being active participants in a massive terror spree. These media outlets are trying to hide behind a fig leaf saying they are “freelance” reporters, not directly answerable to them. That excuse is becoming increasingly thin as photos and videos of the ‘journalists’ are being made pubic.
Observers have known for quite some time journalists have been in bed with Hamas - often co-locating their offices with those of Hamas. But this cranks the issue up a couple orders of magnitude - being complicit with horrific murders and kidnappings.
RELATED - International news organization Reuters denied Thursday any suggestion it had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians and soldiers, in a statement responding to a report by media advocacy group HonestReporting.
“We are aware of a report by HonestReporting and accusations made against two freelance photographers who contributed to Reuters coverage of the Oct. 7 attack,” Reuters said.
“Reuters categorically denies that it had prior knowledge of the attack or that we embedded journalists with Hamas on Oct 7.
***
The second in command of Hezbollah has again warned that Israel’s killing of civilians in Gaza risks causing the conflict to spill over into surrounding countries. “The danger is real,” he told the BBC’s Orla Guerin.
***
According to the Hamas leaders, that was one of the primary goals of their Oct. 7 invasion of the northwestern Negev, in which thousands of armed terrorists massacred 1,400 people, mostly civilians, wounded over 5,000 others and took back to Gaza more than 200 hostages.
“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher el-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told the U.S.-based newspaper.
Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the terrorist group’s politburo in Qatar, said they planned the Oct. 7 assault to “change the entire equation and not just have a clash,” adding that “we succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm.”
“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such,” said al-Hayya. “Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table.”
GAZA FRONT ———————————-
IDF says troops have found and destroyed some 130 tunnel shafts in the Gaza Strip since the ground operation began last month.
Israel forces captured a Hamas stronghold in western Jabaliya after 10 hours of fighting, the IDF said on Thursday. Israel is exploiting the considerable amount of plans and other documents obtained there.
“The troops completed the takeover of the outpost after 10 hours of fighting, during which they eliminated terrorists, captured many weapons and uncovered terrorist tunnel shafts, including a shaft located near a kindergarten and leading to an extensive underground route,” according to the IDF. Troops also found “significant” operational plans, the army said.
Forces of the Nahal Infantry Brigade captured a Hamas training camp in northern Gaza. The IDF says that the troops found a staging ground within the camp, where Hamas operatives had prepared weapons and food in order to carry out an attack. Within the camp, several tunnel entrances were also found.
Israeli aircraft continue to launch raids on the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City. Israel continued to claim a large Hamas command facility is located beneath the building and the IAF bombing raids likely are being used to cut off potential escape tunnels from the site, as well as in support of IDF ground assault efforts.
The effects of the Israeli effort continue to wear down Hamas et al’s rocket capabilities. Rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip toward Ashdod overnight, marking the first time in 36 hours that long-range projectiles have been fired.
Hamas sources report that Israeli forces have closed to within 700 meters of the Al Quds hospital in Gaza City, with fierce fighting ongoing.
LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Hamas/Hezbollah forces continue their harassing attacks using ATGMs against Israeli targets, with Israel responding by taking out those launch sites with air/artillery strikes.
Israeli air forces carried out an air attack near Baalbek in Lebanon, targeting some military posts in the southern region, which led to some material losses.
Hezbollah has reportedly acquired Russian P-800 supersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of 300km. The Yakhont export version skims the sea at an altitude of 30 feet and a speed of Mach 2.5 (about 1900 miles per hour) and is a credible threat to Western warships in the eastern Mediterranean. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah said, in a speech last Friday, “We have prepared for the [U.S.] fleets with which you threaten us.”
SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-
Syria accused Israel of carrying out an airstrike against military sites in southern Syria late last night, causing damage.
WEST BANK——————————-
IDF continues to launch security operations at various locations across the West Bank. These operations have been quite violent at times with serious resistance from West
Bankers.
“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” (new add) ———————————
Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin has announced that U.S. Air Force F-15s have carried out airstrikes tonight in eastern Syria against weapons storage sites owned by the “Quds Force” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Secretary Austin further stated, “The United States is fully-prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities. We urge against any escalation.”
Syrian State Media is reporting that several members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran are dead and injured from those strikes.
These strikes come after 50+ recent incidents of American troops coming under fire from Iran-backed terrorists.
OBSERVATION - The US leadership still doesn’t get it. The only thing these terror militias understand is power and unless the US is willing to more aggressively attack their facilities these Iranian backed militias will continue to try to escalate their attacks.

INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi met with CIA director Bill Burns and rejected a proposal for the North African country to manage security in the Gaza Strip until the Palestinian Authority can take over after Hamas’s defeat, according to senior Egyptian officials. - WSJ
FORECAST ————————-
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) - Israel will continue its attacks in N Gaza to eliminate Hamas from that portion of land before turning south or turning to confront Hezbollah in a more substantial way if necessary. As it moves deeper into Gaza City, more substantial battles are expected.
The Al-Shifa Medical Complex has become the focal point of the current Israeli ground offensive. Rightfully believed to house a substantial subterranean Hamas command and control bunker, it is also thought to be where most of the hostages are being held. The one hostage that was rescued was kept in an apartment immediately across from the hospital. IAF is bombing all around the complex - probably looking to close off potential escape tunnels.
Reports that the Israeli operation is progressing faster than expected may well be due to timely collection, analysis and distribution of intelligence finds in these Hamas command centers. Maps and other documents - combined with other sources of intel - would give the IDF a definite advantage, especially in the realm of the underground networks.
So far expect Hezbollah and Iran to do what they can to keep out of the direct fight. Israel has the majority of its called up Army/Air Force on standby for any Hezbollah fogginess. As I’ve mentioned in the past, when an opponent shows strength, islamic elements like Hezbollah and Iran back down - and the Gaza operation is a massive show of strength by Israel. It is not being constrained by manufactured, anti-israel propaganda and calls for ceasefire and is ripping Hamas apart inspire of the millions (billions?) spent by the terrorist rulers of Gaza.
Weakness on the part of the US is promoting attacks by Iranian backed militias on US bases in the Syria/Iraq region - but even those are relatively restrained because as demonstrated overnight, the US can hit very hard with just 2 F-15’s, let alone the dozens of other F-15s, F-16s and A-10s. Expect more harassing attacks, hoping for a lucky shot.
Houthi attacks have been more show than go. I do think the US may respond to the shooting down of the MQ-9A “Reaper”. I think the Houthi’s are going to have a FAFO experience.
Iran –
Continued threats against US forces in the region.
Observers are speculating that the Hamas attack, with Iranian support (though denied) may have pushed Israel closer to launching a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear bomb program than ever before. A single nuclear airburst over an Israel city could kill several hundred thousand Israelis. Even if Israel doesn’t pre-emptively nuke Iran, Israel certainly will if Iran nukes Israel first. It’s really a question of who nukes who first.
Iran has dispersed and hardened its nuclear development facilities, making any conventional take out strikes by Israel virtually impossible - even extremely difficult for the US as well. But Iran has a critical vulnerability, 98% of Iran’s oil exports flow through the one port of Karg Island. Iran’s other oil ports lack even 10% of Karg Island’s capacity. Iran would likely respond with attacks on Gulf nations oil production and exports, but once again, thought it may be initially successful, it wouldn’t have the legs for combined attacks by hostile Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia as well as the US.
For all its bluster, I’m not sure that Iran is ready to commit to a self-destructing plan.
Lebanon -
See Israel above.
Syria -
See Israel above on latest.
Big ISIS attack yesterday an area around Resafa (S. Raqqa desert). At least 30 pro-Assad fighters dead.
OBSERVATION - ISIS is bound to take the initiate against Syria and its anti-ISIS supporters because Syria is having to deal with wars on multiple other fronts - Gaza and Idlib to name a couple. Iranian backed militias that have been after ISIS have been diverted toward Lebanon to support Hezbollah or towards the US bases in Syria / Iraq. US/Coalition is diverting intel assets to monitor and target these iranian militias, and not so much on ISIS. Now ISIS has a much freer ability to operate.
Central / South America General-
Brazilian security authorities with the support of Mossad have reportedly managed to arrest the 2 Hezbollah leaders in plot to launch attacks against Jewish communities and synagogues across Brazil, while also recruiting more terrorists to their cause for further attacks in the region; the plot is said to have been planned by Iranian Intelligence and executed by members of Hezbollah.
The operation comes against the backdrop of Brazil’s strict anti-terrorism legislation enacted prior to the 2016 Rio Olympics, which takes a firm stance against acts motivated by xenophobia or racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination. According to the World Jewish Congress, there are about 92,000 Jews in Brazil, making it the 10th-largest Jewish community in the world and second largest in Latin America, behind Argentina.
Dead or in prison for war crimes would be better - but at this stage 'disenchanted and demoralized' works...

Expansion of AI bot propaganda will have a very dangerous end - obfuscating truth from misinformation.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
American Jews and supporters of Israel will descend on the National Mall on Tuesday, November 14, for a massive “March for Israel” to show solidarity with the Jewish state in its war against terror, and to stand up against rising antisemitism at home.
The march, which is drawing participants from all over the country, is being organized by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Many local communities are sending buses.
Participants will be demanding the return of the estimated 240 hostages Hamas terrorists abducted during its October 7 onslaught on Israel, Fingerhut said. They will also be calling for efforts to combat antisemitism, which has spiked worldwide since the attack. And they will be demonstrating their support for the unabashed backing Israel has so far received from both parties in Congress and the Biden administration.
A similar march in 2002 supported Israel in the midst of the second intifada, and one in 1987 supported Soviet Jews in their effort to leave the USSR for Israel, the U.S., and elsewhere.
The march will take place on the National Mall from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on November 14. Gates are expected to open at 10:00 a.m. It is unclear whether there will be counter-demonstrations.
OBSERVATION - Without a doubt, the pro-Hamas, antifa embedded, left will be deploying to oppose this gathering and to inflict as much damage and chaos as possible. The potential for ugly confrontations is high.
****
Kinda putting the cart before the horse here, but that is due to the outline I use. Events in Spain could potentially play out here in the US should a high level political figure get targeted - such as a Trump, or Gaetz, etc. Violence literally exploded overnight and the country is on the precipice of a civil war, with marxist/socalists on one side and nationalists on the other. Much like the first Spanish civil war.

SPANISH Civil Unrest/War -
Background - This past July, Spain held its parliamentary elections with the results being that no single party won enough parliamentary seats to form a government. The center-right Partido Popular (PP) is set to come in first, winning 136 seats. The upstart far-right Vox party, a possible coalition partner to PP, is forecast to win 33 seats.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s ruling center-left Socialist party meanwhile is on course to win 122 seats, with likely coalition partners Sumar at 31 seats. In order to govern, a party or coalition must achieve a working majority of 176 seats in the 350-seat legislature. The results showed the center-right increasing its support to 33% up from 21%.
Thus began a prolonged effort by both sides to sway the support of smaller regionalist parties in order to gain the working majority. The deadline is the end of November, if neither group has success, new elections will be held.
Current - Earlier this week, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez gov’s made an agreement to issue an amnesty to the separatist leaders behind the illegal 2017 Catalan independence referendum. This in exchange for its key backing of acting Sánchez in forming a new government. Opposition parties declared the action a “coup”. The move angered many traditional socialist voters as well. A poll in mid-September showed 70% of Spaniards opposed an amnesty, and about 200,000 people have taken part in three large, recent rallies against the measure, organized by the PP and Vox.
The legality of such amnesty was immediately challenged. The Permanent Commission of the Spanish General Council of the Judiciary has just pronounced against Sánchez’s amnesty. Their vote in favor of the statement included 2 judges appointed by the socialist ruling party: Roser Bach and Mar Cabrejas. They stated that the amnesty would tear apart the constitution of the country.
Matters went from bad to volcanic overnight when Alejo Vidal-Quadras, the founder of Vox (3rd largest party, anti-immigration, pro-family) was shot in the face. He is in stable condition, while his assailant escaped on a motorcycle and has yet to be found.
President of Vox called for mass mobilization in the streets of Madrid amid socialist takeover of the Spanish government
“Now is not the moment for parties. Now is the moment to defend the nation”
Tens (hundreds?) of thousands poured into the streets of Madrid in answer to the call. Fighting with police broke out as the crowds converged on the socialist party headquarters.
Adding fuel to this fire is broad dislike of the massive number of moslems from N Africa that have poured into the country in recent years under the socialist rule. Chants of ‘Spain is Christian, not Muslim!’ were heard on the streets of Madrid with the anti-socialist protests.
OBSERVATION - Passions are very high over these events, and could continue to escalate into full blown civil war between the socialists and nationalist. One wild card is the presence of a substantial population of N African moslems that will most likely side with the socialists - to protect themselves from being deported. This could make things very ugly indeed.
A scenario like this in the US could be looming, another stolen election, an attempt on the life of Trump, pro-Hamas riots, illegal immigrant riots, etc are all pushing higher and higher on the threat meter. No doubt that an attempt - successful or not - on Trump will light a fire that won’t be quenched and grant the regime the excuse it needs to declare martial law prior to the election, perhaps as a way to stop the election and retain power; an act that would only serve to inflame matters worse.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is demanding answers from several prominent news agencies after criticism emerged of their photographers appearing to have been embedded with Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack.
In a statement, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of the Prime Ministers’s Office demanded action by news agencies:
The National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office views with utmost gravity that photojournalists working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Saturday October 7th in the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics.
Overnight the Government Press Office issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employed these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter.
The National Public Diplomacy Directorate demands that immediate action be taken.
Israel’s Government Press Office (GPO), which regulates press access in Israel, also issued a statement demanding explanations:
GPO Director Nitzan Chen demands explanations from the bureau chiefs of AP, Reuters, CNN and The New York Times regarding the disturbing findings in the Honest Reporting report on the involvement of their photographers in the events of October 7th, which crosses every red line, professional and moral.
Four photographers who work for these networks documented the horrors perpetrated by the Hamas terrorists after they broke through border fence with Israel. They filmed the murder of civilians, the abuse of bodies and the abduction of men and women.
RELATED - AP, and CNN have cut ties to Gaza-based freelance photojournalist Hassan Eslaiah. He was photographed with a hand grenade in his hand, riding on a motorcycle used by the Hamas terrorists.
CNN spokesperson told DailyMail.com: ‘We had no prior knowledge of the October 7th attacks. Hassan Eslaiah, who was a freelance journalist working for us and many other outlets, was not working for the network on October 7th. As of today, we have severed all ties with him.’
GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Multiple interceptions reported over central Israel. First rocket fire on Tel Aviv since Tuesday night
According to reports from Gaza: the encirclement of Shifa’ hospital has been completed. There is an exchange of fire on the outskirts of the hospital between Israeli army forces and Hamas militants. Questions remain just how close Israel is to the hospital. Reports have IDF forces between 400 and 2000 meters away. IDF has also taken control over night of several other, smaller hospitals and are preceding to evacuate the patients and medical staff.
Israeli army says overnight ground forces killed a number of members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba forces, who participated in the October 7 massacre. Among them was Ahmed Musa, a Nukhba company commander, and Amr Alhandi, a platoon commander, who were holed up in Jabaliya
IDF says the 162nd Division is operating in Hamas’s “security quarter” of Gaza City, clashing frequently with terror operatives. According to the IDF, the so-called security quarter, adjacent to Shifa Hospital, is “the heart” of Hamas’s intelligence and operational activities, and sites in the area were used to plan and prepare the October 7 onslaught.
It says that in recent days forces of the Givati Infantry Brigade and tanks entered the quarter to destroy Hamas infrastructure. Amid clashes in the area, more than 50 Hamas operatives were killed, the IDF says.
The IDF says troops found intelligence materials, tunnels, weapons manufacturing plants, and anti-tank missile launch positions.
The quarter houses “strategic” Hamas sites, according to the IDF, including the terror group’s intelligence and air defense headquarters, political bureau offices, and a police station.
The IDF says the largest Hamas training camp is also in the quarter, along with other military positions, weapons manufacturing plants and warehouses, command centers, offices of Hamas commanders, and underground infrastructure.
Thousands of Gazans continue to move south along designated evacuation routes.
LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Continued tit - for - tat with Israel gradually expanding the target list in southern Lebanon to include more Hezbollah munitions facilities.
SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-
The Israeli army says it carried out bombing in Syria in response to a drone attack on Eilat on Thursday
WEST BANK——————————-

Armed clashes broke out after an Israeli storming of Balata camp, east of Nablus
“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” (new add) ———————————
An unknown attack drone has reportedly struck the City of Eilat in southeastern Israel on the Red Sea causing a large explosion; another blast was also reported at a school in Eilat.
East Syria: US airstrike in outskirts of Deir ez-Zur Airbase killed last night at least one Assad’s soldier. This is a first since 2019. He was from E. Homs province
US defense official now tells VOA there have been FORTY-SIX attacks on US forces in Iraq & Syria since 10/17. 4 of these happened AFTER the US strike overnight on IRGC weapons storage facility. 3 Americans were injured during the attack today at MSS Green Village
A significant attack was launched overnight on U.S. Forces at Al-Asad Airbase in Western Iraq by Iranian-Backed Militias, with at least 3 waves of rockets and drones said to have struck in and around the base. Damage to base facilities and casualties are currently unknown.
A missile interception overnight over Eilat was with an Arrow 3, for the first time. Previous interceptions used the Arrow 2
Confirmation of another missile intercepted by the IDF launched from Yemen towards southern Israel. The Arrow Air Defense System was used again. Reports of drones also intercepted by IDF/others over the Red Sea today. Houthi militants claiming attacks.
Israeli army says it intercepted a “suspicious target” in the Arabah region in southern Israel using the Patriot air defense system. The target did not enter Israeli airspace, according to the Israeli army
INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
President Erdoğan on Riyadh Summit: The decisions that will come out of this summit, where the countries of the region and the Islamic world are represented, will be a big step to stop Israel’s oppression.”
FORECAST ————————-
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) - Israel will continue its attacks in N Gaza to eliminate Hamas from that portion of land before turning south or turning to confront Hezbollah in a more substantial way if necessary. As it moves deeper into Gaza City, more substantial battles are expected. Israel has not effectively gained control of almost half of the northern Gaza operational area.
Houthi and the other ‘resistance’ forces increased their activities overnight. Houthi’s are managing to range their drones and missiles more effectively towards southern Israel while the Iranian backed militias have increased the number and intensity of attacks. Again, the currency is the show of strength and the US’ lack of response tells them the US is weak. This does not bode well for forces there.
So called peaceful protests around the world have not yielded the desired goal of swinging opinion away from Israel and onto its narrative. Acts of violence are increasing as it appears they can only get attention via that method of intimidation.
Apart from the pittance Hezbollah, the ‘resistance’ and Iran have offered, Hamas is essentially on its own.

Black Swans
What was already a strong El Niño event is getting stronger, and the odds of it reaching “historic” levels have increased for the winter, according to NOAA’s latest update on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.
Sea-surface temperature anomalies in the central tropical Pacific Ocean, where El Niño thresholds are calculated, reached 1.8 degrees Celsius (3.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above average in the October measurement, keeping this event squarely in the “strong” category. Other areas farther east in the Pacific have reached 2.2 degrees Celsius (4 degrees Fahrenheit) above average.
OBSERVATION - Much crystal ball looking as El Nino’s can have a mind of their own. This could be bad news for the Pacific Northwest and northern plains with less moisture affecting hydropower production and winter/spring crops.
