Globalism / Great Reset –
Hundreds of officials from dozens of countries have put the leader of the World Health Organization on notice that if he persists in violating WHO rules to adopt a controversial global pandemic agreement or amend the International Health Regulations (IHR), it will render those provisions “null and void.”
Delegates remain huddled in Geneva as the clock ticks away the remaining moments of the 77th annual World Health Assembly, where some had hoped to finalize the pandemic agreement and pass amendments to the IHR, which would allow a global governance institution to guide some of the most sensitive areas of sovereign nations’ health care policy.
As of this writing, 216 elected officials from 34 nations have signed a letter instructing WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus that any effort to adopt the proposed WHO Pandemic Agreement or IHR amendments this week would “violate the principles of good governance,” break organizational rules, and usher in an era of “tyranny and oppression.”
The most recent draft of the pandemic agreement would compel Americans to turn over 20% of their supplies to WHO for “equity”-based global redistribution, follow WHO policies on “routine immunization” and “social measures” such as lockdowns, and accept a “One Health” policy that equates human life with plants and other life forms. The uncertainty of multiple provisions makes the treaty “a blank check” to “unaccountable committees,” say the elected officials, including eight Republican Members of Congress.
“It is generally seen that the pandemic agreement is going to be kicked down the road months or several years,” said Travis Weber, vice president for Policy and Government Affairs a Family Research Council, on “Washington Watch” Wednesday.
Even if WHA delegates overcome their contentious disputes over financial commitments and intellectual property rights belonging to Western pharmaceutical companies, the letter signers argue the WHO must wait for months to move forward. “Proceeding with the adoption of new amendments to the IHR or the proposed pandemic treaty” at the WHA “would be contrary to law,” the officials observe. “Should you proceed, any resulting agreement will immediately be null and void.”
“Using potential pandemics as a pretext to violate the principles of good governance erodes trust and undermines international cooperation when it is most needed,” they add. “Without the rule of law, tyranny and oppression prevail.”
The latest text of the WHO Pandemic Agreement contains at least three open-ended provisions members which must sign, sight unseen:
- The WHO Pandemic Agreement states that implementation of its One Health philosophy will be codified in a new treaty or agreement to be presented on May 31, 2026 (Article 5:4).
- It establishes a Global Supply Chain and Logistics Network, something akin to a global central planning agency overseeing the production and redistribution of vaccines and emergency equipment. But WHO will not define its rules and procedures until the “first meeting” of the Conference of the Parties, a group of unelected officials from all member nations.
- It also sets up a “Coordinating Financial Mechanism” to fund the WHO’s ambitions, but WHO will not consider its regulations until one year after the treaty has taken effect (Article 20:4).
“This essentially forces [m]ember [s]tates to sign a blank check,” write the people’s representatives.
OBSERVATION - What was once thought to be a shoe in has fallen apart. Interesting that the points listed above ignore the more significant weasel wording that would grant the WHO the powers to include a wide range of other issues as a world health emergency such as global warming or gun violence. The next significant date is May 31, 2026, giving the globalists two more years to get their goals met.
That is until they can hatch another plandemic to force the original ‘treaty’ language forward.
POLITICAL FRONT –
July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL
***
Support for the now “convicted” Trump remains high and supporters are more animated.
WARNING - There are trolls out there on the inter webs trying to stir up violence by the right. Take that as evidence of their desperation as the conviction has boomeranged back on them. Keep your powder dry.
Illegal Immigration –
Texas Governor Greg Abbott welcomed the first 300 National Guard soldiers as they relocated to a new forward operating base located on the Mexican border just south of Eagle Pass. Abbott toured “Forward Operating Base Eagle” on Friday alongside Adjutant General of Texas Major General Thomas Suelzer and Texas Border Czar Mike Banks. The Governor held a press conference after the tour, providing more details about the latest developments at the base camp.
OBSERVATION - Now bolstered by a USSC win saying TX can allow their anti - illegal law to be enforced, TX is positioned pretty well to continue the fight against illegals. This will force other states to bear the brunt of the tsunami - mostly now Kalifornia.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80’s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian air defense shot down 25 Shahed drones overnight.
Bilshivtsi community of Ivano-Frankivsk region as result of Russian missile strikes.
Russia pressed attacks all along the line from Ocheretyne southward to Vuhledar.
Ukraine hit Bolgrod region with more Himars overnight.
Reports of fierce fighting around the recently captured town of Vovchansk as an apparent Ukraine counter offensive pushes back Russian forces in the Kharkiv region.
Kharkiv Front -
Russia launched a surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and many military sources within the Russian army had boasted that they had captured the pivotal town of Vovchansk. However, Ukraine’s Defence Forces have now confirmed that Kyiv has regained control of 70 percent of the town, amid fierce ongoing street battles.
Several Russian channels are reporting that the Ukrainian forces have launched counterattacks in the Kharkiv direction. Besides that, they state that their own offensive has come to a standstill.
Outlook —
Russia continuing its dogged offensives in Eastern Ukraine. Reports of very limited territory gains.
The Kharkiv fight is interesting in that independent Ukraine and Russian on the ground milblogger indicating the Russian may well have lost the initiative. Also, the main logistical support for Russian forces come from the Bolgrod region -currently the big target for HIMARs strikes. Further reports of Russian logistical convoys being hammered as they enter Ukraine from drone / artillery strikes.
ISRAEL –
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
Ultranationalist ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich tell Netanyahu they will leave the coalition and topple the government if the Israeli proposal for the hostage deal presented by President Biden goes through.
NOTE - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slapped down Joe Biden’s plan for ending the war in Gaza, dismissing it as a “non-starter.”
***
Hamas escalated its psychological warfare campaign this week by releasing an audio recording, apparently of Israeli woman Noa Argamani – an Israeli student taken hostage on Oct. 7.
***
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Rafah has exposed the existence of a secret overpass between Egypt and Gaza, which Hamas could use to import anything without international supervision, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Lt. Col. Amit Yagor (Res.), a former intelligence officer, wrote:
[Egypt] enables an entire industry of smuggling tunnels from its territory to the territory of the Gaza Strip and, in practice, constitutes the organization’s “oxygen pipe” and a main source of illegal weapons, ammunition, and prohibited materials that enabled the establishment of “Deep Gaza.”
The highlight was the existence of an overpass between Egypt and Gaza – the Salah al-Din crossing that was used for the movement of goods from Egypt to the Gaza Strip without any Israeli or international supervision. It was not widely publicized and operated in addition to the famous Rafah crossing.
Apparently, the economy of the tunnels/goods/crossings and the industry that developed on Egyptian soil contributed quite a bit to the quiet that Egypt asked to preserve in the Sinai Peninsula, and hence the Egyptian interest in not eliminating it, as Egypt knew how to do in many other cases.
Egypt had opposed an Israeli operation in Rafah, as had the Biden administration. It is clear now that Egypt wanted to cover up its role in Hamas’s smuggling and importing of weapons. The Biden administration may also have wanted to preserve the image of Egypt as a U.S. ally.
OBSERVATION - This should not surprise anyone. Corruption in arab nations is part and parcel to the everyday life. In the case of Egypt, as long as Hamas and the other radical islamic terror groups minded their own business - and kept it in Gaza - and not spread it into Egypt they were content to turn a blind eye to this operation. Not to say that there were likely considerable sums of money payed to key Egyptian authorities too boot.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Continued Rafah operations as IDF moves further to the eastern half of the town.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
IAF continues to hit targets in S Lebanon.
The Israeli army confirms that Hezbollah shot down an Israeli drone in southern Lebanon
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
Houthis claim to have launched a second attack on the USS Eisenhower. They also claimed to have targeted an American destroyer in the Red Sea, hitting it directly with several drones. There is no evidence of any success.
——— FORECAST ————————-
Search and destroy operations continue in Rafah as well as other areas of Gaza.
Much of the current ‘war’ is political and the latest spat that biden has created isn’t going away soon. Early announcement by biden stated that Israel had accepted his three part plan to end the conflict. A claim that Netanyahu quickly put down. biden’s plan gives Hamas everything it wants - and Israel gets nothing except the Qatar promise that Hamas will behave itself in the future.
I don’t see much change in the tempo of the Gaza operations. IDF continues to isolate and eliminate Hamas and affiliated terrorists, locate and destroy tunnels and bunkers and continue searching for hostages.
Mexico -
Mexicans are going to the polls on Sunday in an election which is almost certain to see the country’s first female president elected.
Both the front runner, Claudia Sheinbaum, and her main rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, are far ahead in the polls of the only male candidate, Jorge Álvarez Máynez.
Voters will also elect all members of Mexico’s Congress and governors in eight states, as well as the head of Mexico City’s government.
The campaign has been overshadowed by violent attacks, which have resulted in more than 20 local candidates being killed across Mexico.
Ms Sheinbaum, a 61-year-old scientist who served as mayor of Mexico City from 2018 to 2023, has the backing of the outgoing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp4475gwny1o
OBSERVATION - If this happens, expect little change in the support given to illegals passing thru Mexico and shuttled to the US. Sheinbaum appears to be an even softer liberal than the current president Obrador. Particularly softer on ‘crime’ with no clearly stated plan to deal with the drug cartels that are the defacto rulers of large areas of Mexico.
Misc of Note –
Well, I’ve noted tornado, hurricane seasons, Solar storms and now it is fast becoming time to look at another plannable disaster - fire season.
“Evacuations were ordered in San Joaquin County due to the rapidly spreading Corral Fire, which has burned 11 047 acres (4 470 ha) southwest of Tracy, California as of June 1, 2024.
The Corral Fire has consumed 4 470 ha (11 047 acres) after igniting on June 1 near Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Site 300, southwest of Tracy (population 97 328), according to Cal Fire. “
With a wet winter - especially in kalifornia - the risk of wildfires grows almost exponentially thru out summer into fall as the rains stop and summer heat dries out the abundant undergrowth there from the winter rains. But it is a threat throughout the west, now kalifornia alone.
If you are in a wildfire prone / potential area you need to get your act together now by planning and preparing. Get important papers together, pack bug out bags, ready pets and livestock. Perhaps most importantly is to enhance your communications stance and verify potential evacuation routes.
Early warning is critical and never wait until the govt calls for an evacuation - get out early. Have comms / news sources that help identify where the fire front is in respect to evacuation routes to choose the safest and quickest way out. The Paradise CA fire of over a decade ago not only caught residents unexpected, but created a death trap on the road leading out of the town, killing numerous caught in the traffic jam.
Included in this is some sort of two way radio for backup. Cell comms may quickly fail and in remote areas, very poor service at that. GMRS has exploded into popularity with FCC licensing only requiring a fee, opening up dozens of channels with high wattage capability. Stand by Ham radios and CBs also fill the gap.
Finally, do a smart thing and pre-coordinate with family / friends if you are planning to show up there if you have to evacuate. That will make things go a lot smoother than showing up at their door in the middle of the night.
Why is this important? Evacuees really should NOT go to a Red Cross center for shelter. You will lose a lot of your rights just to be allowed in and you aren’t even guaranteed food. Too many disasters in the past show the RC centers to be cruel in their rules. Seek shelter if necessary with any other group - particularly church related (though some churches have set up agreements with the RC for use of their facilities - again stay away). This is why pre-coordinating with family and friends is important.
Never forget to plan in pets. Too many times people just leave the door open for the pets to fend for themselves. If that is your plan, re-home your pets now,
White (Western) guilt stated the death process with the BUD Light movement...then coughed and wheezed with the DEI crapola and now is gasping on the Hamas/commie college evil... So this isn't going to fly. WHO and the UN are finished - they just don't know it let.
A lot of activity bubbling up in other areas now that the verdict and most aftershocks have passed.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
June 8 - Surround the WH.
***
ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), an anti-war group founded three days after the September 11, 2001 attacks, has launched an event to “Get on a bus to DC” and “Surround the White House for Palestine.”
“June 8 marks 8 months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza. A month ago, Biden said that the invasion of Rafah was a red line. But now, the invasion of Rafah has continued for weeks, has expanded to the entire Gaza Strip, Biden’s red line is nowhere to be seen,” ANSWER wrote on its website.
The group continued, “Biden can’t draw the line, but we can. On June 8, we will come together from across the country and surround the White House.”
OBSERVATION - I noted this event last week. It looks like it maybe growing legs as Israeli operations maintain tempo in Rafah. Embedded in this call to assemble, other groups/elements have included calls for violence. It is uncertain if an attempt to breach the WH security fence is being planned or just targeting less protected buildings/features in DC.

HBO ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher has predicted that if Donald Trump is sentenced to any prison time, there will be a civil war that will quickly evolve into a race war because of MAGA supporters.
“Here’s the key question: Is he going to go to jail? Would this judge dare do that?” Maher said, adding “And should he? I heard some people say if his name wasn’t Donald Trump he would definitely get jail time.”
“MAGA nation will go nuts. I don’t know if that’s a reason to or not to do something, but they will,” Maher continued during the discussion with former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod.
Maher went on to suggest that “because the judge’s name was Juan,” putting Trump in jail would lead to racial political violence.
“Everything becomes racial in this country. That’s partly because of our horrible, despicable racial past, partly because some of that racism lives on in the present and some of it because the far left makes everything racial. But that’s what it’s going to be.” Maher further posited.
“A civil war in this country, I’m sorry to say, becomes a race war. That’s the sad truth about this country,” the host continued, adding “And if they put him in jail, I mean, the first thing his supporters are going to say is, ‘Oh, that’s what it is.’ A Black district attorney. You know, all these people who are the district attorneys, they’re black. The judge was not White. This is what it is.”
https://modernity.news/2024/06/02/maher-if-trump-goes-to-jail-there-will-be-a-racial-civil-war/
OBSERVATION - Maher is a mouth piece of the center left. In this dialogue he continues the left’s view of a civil war triggered by conservatives. Though he doesn’t say it, he, like other liberal mouthpieces, salivated for violence by the right in the face of the conviction last week. Now, too, the mantra of everything having a ‘racist’ basis - the only lens the left sees things thru - is the grounds for a CW.
Talking with a friend this weekend and he made the clear commentary that is applicable as well. The left sees violence as a means to an end, dialing up or down like a thermostat. The right sees it more like an on/off switch, preferring to work thru the dying methods of democratic processes and courts before burning the town down. Leftists seek to trigger a CW, but they don’t realize that once the right flips the switch, it won’t get dialed down and will get very ugly.
***
This weekend we saw the left eating the left as two privileged groups faced off. “Pro Palestine” protesters stop gay pride parade in Philadelphia.
This may well create an interesting dynamic as the likelihood of protests/rioting grow towards the Nov election. LGBT have been out in force supporting pro-Hamas protests and actions. Now the islamic factions are showing their true face. Will this deter future LGBT support of hamas?
Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics –
(The Epoch Times)—Myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after vaccination and not after COVID-19 infection, according to a recent preprint led by researchers at Oxford University, which compared health outcomes among COVID-vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
“Whilst rare, all myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,” the authors wrote. There were no deaths from myocarditis or pericarditis.
OBSERVATION - More evidence of the very negative effects of the jab and impact on young people. The write up seems to try to smooth over the dangers of the jab, but is forced to recognize that the jab is more hazardous than recovering naturally from wuhan.
***
More on children and the jab -
Children who received the AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines faced an elevated risk of epilepsy and appendicitis, according to a new study.
Pfizer recipients were also more likely to suffer from demyelinating disease or heart inflammation, researchers found.
Dr. Julia Hippisley-Cox, a professor of clinical epidemiology at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Primary Health Care Sciences, and colleagues obtained data from a national database on COVID-19 vaccination, mortality, hospital admissions, and COVID-19 infections. They wanted to look at the link between COVID-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna with 12 outcomes, including the heart inflammation condition called myocarditis.
In the primary analysis, researchers found 12- to 17-year-olds who received Pfizer’s vaccine were at increased risk of myocarditis, with an additional three cases per million versus the expected rate after a first dose, and an additional five cases per million after a second dose, and hospitalization with epilepsy, with an additional 12 cases per million after a second dose. Females in the age group also faced an increased risk of demyelinating disease after receiving a second dose of the vaccine.
Researchers also identified a “substantially increased risk of hospitalization with epilepsy” among females after receipt of a first dose of AstraZeneca’s shot, with 813 more hospitalizations with epilepsy than expected per million doses, and an elevated risk of appendicitis after a second dose of the vaccine, with 512 excess events per million doses.
A secondary analysis, involving matching some of the vaccine recipients to unvaccinated children, confirmed an increased risk among 12- to 17-year-olds of hospitalization with epilepsy following Pfizer vaccination, and elevated risks of severe allergic shock and appendicitis in the age group following Pfizer vaccination. No increased risks of any outcome were identified among minor Moderna or AstraZeneca recipients. But among a group of 18- to 24-year-olds studied, elevated risks of a number of conditions were found, including myocarditis, immune or idiopathic thrombocytopenia, epilepsy, and acute pancreatitis.
OBSERVATION - The real grind is that this information became readily apparent early in the plandemic and concerns were buried by the globalist powers that be.

Biden / Harris Watch –
The Department of Justice is withholding the audio from President Joe Biden‘s interview with former special counsel Robert Hur due to fears that it will be altered by artificial intelligence, according to a court filing.
CNN, the Heritage Foundation, and Judicial Watch, among others, have all been denied Freedom of Information Act requests for the audio and have subsequently filed suit against the Justice Department. In response, it issued a court filing Friday night to explain why it won’t release the audio from Hur’s interview with Biden.
“Disclosure of that record is unwarranted,” the filing reads. “Release of the audio recording would threaten critical law enforcement interests by chilling the potential cooperation of witnesses in current and future sensitive investigations. In addition, disclosure would constitute a significant invasion of privacy. … These privacy harms are amplified by the threat of malicious manipulation of audio files that has recently become much more acute.”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/3025398/doj-deepfakes-withhold-hur-audio/
OBSERVATION - There is also a lot of talk that Garland/DoJ has now classified the audio/video of biden’s interview by Hur as CLASSIFIED (unknown level) / Sensitive Compartmented Information and stored in a SCIF. This follows evidence that the transcript that was released of the interview was altered to put biden in a better light.
Now lets be clear - if the interview is now classified at a compartmented level - the transcript derived from it would also be at the same classification level. Garland is definitely playing the game to keep the real interview out of the hands of the public knowing full well it would destroy any remaining level of belief that biden has the mental faculties to remain president.
***
This week’s White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden fighting off a new round of consultant backstabbing over his reelection campaign and continued efforts to replace him at the top of the 2024 Democratic ticket.
Democratic pollster and grader John Zogby described the battle as shameful and said that the “consultant-industrial complex” is in full panic mode months too early and at a time when they should be rallying around the president. What’s more, Zogby said that they are worrying for nothing, considering that some polls show Biden still tied with former President Donald Trump.
For his part, Trump had a miserable week, being convicted of 34 charges in New York.
The White House was socked again by a report that inflation was not cooling but remaining above the Fed’s 2% goal. And Biden offered up yet another Gaza peace plan without first winning any support from Israel.
Even worse, said conservative grader Jed Babbin, the administration’s efforts in Gaza turned disastrous when its $320 million humanitarian aid pier broke apart in a storm, what he called “the perfect metaphor for the Biden administration.”
OBSERVATION - This turmoil is being kept under wraps for now to avoid public scrutiny. How much longer is uncertain. Even though they said above that Trump had a miserable week - they ignore the massive response in both fundraising as well as at least a 6 point bump in support over biden.
I’ve noted before the dems are in a hole, they see support for biden and the agenda crumbling under the facts of bidenocomics and other policy disasters that are making the lives of americans miserable. But they have no bench to call upon to fix that and the puppeteers behind biden look to fight to the death if necessary to keep him as the candidate.
Dem alternatives at current are
- Harris - nut job with lower approval rating that biden
- Newscum - used car salesman and gov of a failing Kalifornia
- Mike 0bama - what ever “it” is.
Illegal Immigration –
The Biden administration is boasting its border policies are now cutting illegal immigration, but a new report has exposed a veritable shell game that is effectively covering its “mass amnesty” designs by making the numbers of asylum cases disappear.
More than 350,000 migrants cases have “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” by the Biden administration if individuals did not have a criminal record or were not deemed a threat, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Those illegals are removed from the legal record and are not required to check in with authorities, allowing illegals to live “indefinitely” in the U.S. without fear of deportation.
“This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,” Center for Immigration Studies’ Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge, told the Post.
“You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials confirmed the clandestine operation to the Post, urging the exposure of the increase of disappearing asylum cases.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/amnesty-immigration-joe-biden/2024/06/02/id/1167179/
OBSERVATION - One of multiple efforts by biden to root these illegals into the country and deter deportations.
Russia -
NUCLEAR THREATS –
A former Russian president on Friday warned that Moscow is not bluffing about its willingness to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine and said Kyiv’s international backers are making a “fatal mistake” if they think otherwise.
Dmitry Medvedev, an ally of Vladimir Putin and the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made the menacing remarks in reaction to reports that Western countries—including the U.S.—have given Ukraine permission to use their supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia. “The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst possible scenario,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
“Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries,” Medvedev wrote. He claimed that such activity does not constitute “military assistance” to Ukraine, but rather active “participation in a war against us.”
Medvedev claimed such actions “could well become a casus belli,” meaning an action which provokes war.
He went on to claim that NATO countries who control Ukraine’s long-range weapons or send a contingent of troops to support Kyiv would be committing a “serious escalation of the conflict.”
“Ukraine and its NATO allies will receive a response of such destructive force that the Alliance itself simply will not be able to resist being drawn into the conflict,” he said.
Medvedev also said “retired NATO farts” who claim that Russia would never use a tactical nuclear weapon—bombs designed for use on the battlefield which have typically lower yields than strategic nukes—had previously “miscalculated” by asserting that Russia “would not enter into an open military conflict” with Ukraine.
OBSERVATION - Medvedev has been blowing a lot about Russian nuke strikes against NATO nations for the past several years now. These threats are now hearing echos from putin and the Kremlin with the freeing up of the use of western supplied weapons on Russian territory in recent days as well as developing reports that France is going to move military into Ukraine to train soldiers.

WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80’s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian HIMARS have been very active the past 24 hours. Ukrainian military destroyed Russian S-300 missile complex in Belgorod region of Russia
A Russian supply base in the industrial district of Shebekino, Belgorod Region, Russia, was wiped out overnight from a HIMARs stake
Rumint. Russian airfieilds are reportedly getting slaughtered by storm shadow missiles in both Belgorod and Kursk (Russia). NOTE - biden restricts HIMAR use against airbases, thus use of Storm Shadow.
Ukrainian Defense forces have destroyed Russian military column in Kursk region of Russia near border, northeast of Sumy.
At Kharkiv axis clashes today near Starytsia, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
Russia continued attacks around Chasiv Yar and Ocheretyne.
Outlook —
Ukraine is focusing on eliminating Russian logistics and command with its new authorization to strike Russian targets. Russian laxness in securing these targets is biting them on the rear big time.
Action one the Kharkiv front appear to have swung in favor of Ukraine.. Unconfirmed Russian milbloggers noting that Russian forces are being cut off from their logistical resupply and their armor/tanks are being decimated. Reports also note that a considerable number of the tanks are of the T-62 and T-54/55 era. Lack of armor reflected in motorcycle and ‘golf cart’ charges by infantry.
In action further to the south - Russia continues to launch attacks in an effort to maintain the initiative, but have been getting little to no results. Ukraine resupply has allowed them to resume the deadly hits on Russian logistics and destroying attack elements in piecemeal fashion.
Russia at the moment, seems slow to respond to the change in the battlefield dynamics. With most of their reserves committed and now uncommitted reserves threatened by HIMAR and other strikes they seem to be stuck in how to respond.
For Crimea, Ukraine is seriously softening it up. Russian continues to lose important ADA assets, the Black Sea Fleet is on the run. Russian airfields are exposed and the Kerch Bridge is endangered. The push by Ukraine into Crimea may well be enhance by CAS from F-16s. Air support has been seriously lacking last summer. Ukraine seems to be preparing the battlefield for a thrust into Crimea.
Expect continued brutal fighting as Russia ‘meat’ attack continue and Ukraine sharpens its ‘deep attack’ with looser rules of engagement.
Europe / NATO General –
Germany and US have now allowed Ukraine to shoot down Russian Fighter Jets and Bombers over Russian Territory using Patriot air defense systems. This means that Russia glide bombing attacks will suddenly become more hazardous for Russians as their release points are well within the Patriot defensive envelope.

Mexico -
Mexico’s left-leaning climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum has secured enough votes to become the Latin American country’s first-ever female president.
The country’s electoral institute published a rapid count estimate late Sunday night saying that Sheinbaum had won the presidential election. The estimate has a margin of error of +/-1.5%, the institute said.
In a speech after the preliminary results, Sheinbaum said the government will have “republican austerity, financial and fiscal discipline and autonomy,” according to a CNBC translation, adding that the country “will never have an authoritarian or oppressive government.”
“We will maintain the required division between the economic power and the political power. We will always defend and we will work for the ultimate interest of the people of Mexico and of the nation,” she said.
Sheinbaum also sketched out a loose vision of Mexico’s ties with neighboring U.S. under her stewardship. “With the United States, there will be a relationship of friendship, mutual respect and equality, as has been the case until now. And we will always defend Mexicans who find themselves on the other side of the frontier,” she said.

OBSERVATION - Though her initial acceptance seems to try to track a middle ground, being a leftist climate “scientists” pretty much shows she’ll track WEF related policies and support.
Misc of Note –
I’ve gotten my interim 10 meter HF antenna up and ready to operate with the local HAM club in the event of an emergency. I can also monitor other bands for information. Local solar activity has been making a mess out of day time HF but have received some signals. Studying for General license and making preps to install a multi band HF antenna in the near future
Comms isn’t always for reaching out but to gather information that mayn’t otherwise be available. Recommend getting you Ham licenses or getting a good short wave radio should conditions under just about any emergency conditions make local news reporting difficult to obtain
