CW2 / Domestic violence - Moderate to High THREAT - up dated July 14, 2024
— Attempted assassination of Trump.
***
Censorship - the life blood of tyranny. Now coming home to bite.
In a letter to Jim Jordan , Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:
1. Biden-Harris Admin “pressured” Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
OBSERVATION - Zucks is trying to dodge his active agreement with the desired censorship action. How do you ‘pressure’ someone who is actively on your side?
When the govt actively censors your views, we are clearly in a cold war phase of CW2.
Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –
USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) are both operating in the Gulf of Oman.

Vance/walz - Oct. 1
**** Remember, most polls are designed to shape opinion, not reflect it. ****
Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic Representative from Hawaii, has formally endorsed former President Donald Trump for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. She has informally been supporting trump for some time now.

The parents of Trump shooter Thomas Crooks have hired a team of powerhouse attorneys as the FBI continues to investigate just how much they knew ahead of their son’s assassination attempt on the former president, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The idea that someone may have assisted Thomas Crooks was given new credence on Thursday by Florida US Rep. Mike Waltz. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com he questioned whether the 20-year-old acted alone.
If the entire story we’ve been told about the final months of Thomas Crooks’ life and his sudden death on a non-slanted rooftop in Butler, Pennsylvania was true, it’s unclear to me why his parents would feel the need to have some powerhouse attorneys on their team. Two possibilities come to mind, one of them potentially practical and the other more fitting of a YouTube documentary.
The practical explanation might be that the parents are worried about the families of the victims bringing wrongful death lawsuits against them and they are taking precautions. . . .
Yet in light of these new revelations about “lawyering up,” some of the details we were previously given are making less and less sense. Thomas Crooks was an adult at age 20 in a state where anyone could legally own and use a rifle at 18. He was a member of a local shooting range where he practiced frequently. So why, on the day of the shooting, would his father call the police and report not only his son, but one of his rifles missing? I asked myself this question initially but was persuaded to put the idea aside. Now I’m not so sure. That sounds like someone who knew that “something wicked this way comes” and was establishing an alibi for later.
https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/08/26/trump-shooters-father-hires-high-powered-attorney-n3793683
OBSERVATION - Still far too many questions than there are answers. IMHO Occam’s Razor points to him having help.
Biden / Harris Watch –
Harris is still pushing for changes that she had previously agreed to. Effort to prod trump into declining the debate for political hype?
Cyber attacks/warfare – HEIGHTENED ALERT as of Aug 1, 2024
A cyberattack at the Port of Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport over the weekend is another example of hackers increasingly targeting critical infrastructure.
Details are not yet available about the nature of the attack in Seattle this weekend, and whether there was any data breach.
The outage, which is still ongoing, did not impact flights or security checkpoints. But it did cause delays to baggage services and many screens inside the terminal showing flight information weren’t working.
Illegal Immigration –
A federal judge in Texas has issued an order temporarily halting a new immigration programme from the Biden White House that officials say could protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation.
The 14-day stay issued on Monday comes in response to a lawsuit from 16 Republican-led states that sued the Biden administration over the programme.
The “Keeping Families Together” programme, which took effect last week, would apply to those who have been in the country for at least 10 years and allow them to work in the US legally.
Polls show that the immigration is a primary concern for many voters ahead of November’s presidential election.
When the White House announced the new programme in June, officials said that more than 500,000 spouses would be eligible.
They said the policy will also benefit 50,000 people under 21 whose parent is married to an American citizen.
Judge J Campbell Barker’s order on Monday puts the plan on hold for two weeks as the court considers the case, but has the option to be extended.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxleplk81wo
OBSERVATION - Another back door means the regime is attempting to plant illegals into the country permanently .
North/South Korea –
North Korea has launched a new kamikaze drone today. Will it soon be used by Russia in Ukraine and by IRGC proxies in the Middle East?
Some observers are noting that it is very much like a reverse technology of the Israeli “Harop” drone, which was downed in Lebanon in the past.
Japan –
Japan has accused a Chinese spy plane of breaching its airspace, in what would be the first known instance of such a direct violation.
Japan scrambled fighter jets after a Y-9 surveillance plane “violated the territorial airspace” of Danjo Islands for about two minutes at 11:29 local time Monday (02:29 GMT).
Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary called the breach “utterly unacceptable” and summoned a Chinese embassy official in Tokyo in protest.
The incident comes as tensions rise in the region, where China competes for influence against the US and its allies, including Japan.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr40dpz1rkwo
OBSERVATION - China’s aggression in the S China Sea region is not limited to Taiwan or the Philippines, but extends to Japan and other nations as well.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures continue in the upper 80s to mid 90s range and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Not available for yesterdays missile strike, Ukraine reported that air defense shot down 102 of 127 missiles of different types and 99 of 109 Shahed drones.
Overnights numbers are almost equally high.
Ukrainian air defense shot down 5 of 5 Kh-101 missiles,
60 of 81 Shahed drones, 10 more lost - possible crashed, other still airborne.
Russia has also launched 3 Kinzhal missiles, 1 Iskander-M, 1 Iskander-K
Russian forces are claiming advances northeast of Kharkiv City, north of Chasiv Yar, southeast of Pokrovsk, and west of Donetsk City.
Ukraine Kursk Offensive-
During the operation in the Kursk region, Ukraine Defense Forces captured 594 Russian soldiers as POWs, as for now Ukraine controls 1294 square kms territories in the Kursk region, 100 settlements. Progress continues, - commander-in-chief Syrsky.
Ukrainian forces continued offensive operations within their salient in Kursk Oblast on August 26, but neither Russian nor Ukrainian forces made any significant confirmed or claimed advances.
Vyazovoye village of Krasnaya Yaruga district of Belgorod region declared closed zone.
Governor of Belgorod region commenting on clashes at the border, particularly at Nekhoteevka border crossing says situation is difficult, but controlled by Russian military, planned works by Russian troops
Outlook —
Second night of Russia’s missile/drone campaign against Ukraine shows a marked decline in numbers but still very significant. Observers are noting that Russia doesn’t have the production capability to sustain this level of attack for many more days - hence the big gap since the last major missile assault needed to stockpile for this round. Ukraine may well see another couple days/nights of these attacks, but it appears that they are waning.
On the flip side, Ukraine is rapidly developing more lethal deep strike weapons systems. Deeper Russian targets may no longer be safe.
Ground combat remains pretty much status quo. Monitoring reports of fighting on the Russian border of Belgorod - likely reconnaissance efforts probing for more weakness - or actions to keep Russian’s on their toes and divert forces away from Kursk.
Belarus -
At least 6 kamikaze drones of the Shahed type flew into the territory of Belarus from Ukraine last night. According to “eRadarrua” Telegram channel, Shahed drones flew into the airspace of Belarus from Chernihiv and Kyiv regions of Ukraine.
Belarus forces still mustarding on the border with Ukraine. Again, presence of Wagner elements suggest these are better trained than most of the rest of the Belarus Army.
Poland –
Unconfirmed report of a Shahed drone penetration Polish airspace.
ISRAEL –
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
The Israeli army confirms carrying out a drone strike in Nur Shams a short while ago. According to the Israeli army, the target of the strike was a command room belonging to local terror operatives.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Direct elimination of a Hamas terrorist in Lebanon - a vehicle was attacked in Sidon. The target was a Senior Hamas figure, Omar Khalilhal.
——— FORECAST ————————-
Activity has maintained a more ‘regular’ pre-Hezbollah preemptive attack level. Hezbollah is back to having their command and logistics systematically taken away while their retaliatory attacks are relatively ineffective.
Gaza getting hit by artillery and air strikes on identified hamas concentrations/regrouping.
Iran contemplating the risks of launching its promised strike on Israel. What they have to consider is -
- the ineffectiveness of the April attack
- the effectiveness of the Israeli retaliatory strike (and the message it sent)
- The decisive slapping down of Hezbollah’s retaliatory attack - preemptive
- Israeli strike on Houthi port and oil facilities (and equally soft targets in Iran)
- The presence of two US carrier groups and lots of other fighter deployed the region.
Not many rays of sunshine for the mullahs.
Labor day weekend and I’ll be in the mountains and mostly off line.
Gotta get it in because the first snows hit the mountains overnight, winter’s coming. I’ll post tomorrow and then be gone until next Monday.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Moderate to High THREAT - up dated July 14, 2024
— Attempted assassination of Trump.
***
Lawyer Stephan Stamboulieh on X (formerly Twitter) released more documents from the FBI’s symbol guide. This list seems to be an updated list of those previously released to the public. At the same time AmmoLand News received the same print outs.
The new terms added in this edition are “molon labe,” “prepping,” and “Second Amendment(2A).” The FBI says these terms can be signs of violent militia extremism. The document also says militia violent extremists (MVEs) might regard “red flag” laws, aka extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs,) as unconstitutional, but it isn’t just MVEs that think that.
Many legal experts and civil libertarians openly oppose ERPOs for the lack of due process. Several lawsuits have been filed challenging such laws, and members of Congress have spoken out against “red flag” laws.
According to the FBI, anyone who practices preparedness and is a “prepper” might be an MVE—using terms such as bug out might put you on the FBI’s radar. Many people have bug out plans for the unexpected, such as a natural disaster. Also, using Sh*t Hits the Fan (SHFT) might lead to scrutiny from the FBI. The term has been around for decades, but now the FBI considers it a possible sign of an MVE.
The FBI is scared that the term “Come and Take It” might be a sign of a willingness to resist gun control violently, even though it has been used throughout the centuries from the ancient Greeks to the Alamo. Many gun rights organizations have also used the phrase to show their willingness to fight back against unconstitutional gun control through the court system.
The updated list shows that the FBI is still targeting right-leaning individuals as targets for surveillance.
https://www.ammoland.com/2024/08/fbi-document-leak-gun-owners-are-violent-extremists/
OBSERVATION - I’m probably already on the list for many things already, so I’ll just say it - our govt / deep state is at war with us and is building the target list and justification for actions (via redefined terms) for future action.
***
In response to Zuckerberg’s letter, the Biden-Harris administration provided a statement to Fox News – that does not deny Zuckerberg’s charges.
However, the White House statement does say that social media platforms should base their censorship decisions on “the effects their actions have on the American people”:
“When confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety. Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people, while making independent choices about the information they present.”
OBSERVATION - Censorship and control of free speech is the pivotal component of a tyranny. The biden regime doesn’t deny they pushed censorship.
***
Director at Big Data Poll Richard Baris explained in a post on X why Garland’s comments are so alarming.
“This is what 50% of the country heard from Garland. ‘We’re gonna steal this election and if you try to fight us, we’ll put you in prison.’ God this country is totally corrupt,” he wrote.
“DOJ prosecutors and DC judges are warning that the hammer will come down on any American who protests the 2024 election results,” echoed independent journalist Julie Kelly on X after Garland made his press conference statement. “They treat J6ers like mass murderers,” she continued, citing comments from Obama-appointed District Judge Tanya Chutkan “lecturing a J6 protestor convicted of a misdemeanor.”
The DOJ brought the “hammer” down in the wake of the 2020 election, as Garland made clear. The DOJ charged hundreds of protesters — including a “praying grandma” in her 70s — under a federal statute that the Supreme Court later ruled was used in an over-broad capacity.
OBSERVATION - No mention of hillary or algore - but that is to be expected. What we see being set up here is a carbon copy of what maduro is doing in Venezuela following the recent elections there. Vigorous jailing and prosecution of those protesting his (stolen) election. The overkill prosecutions of J6 are one matter that needs to be addressed. However, threatening citizens and their rights to protest cross the red line into a whole other realm.

NBC September 25
Vance/walz - Oct. 1
**** Remember, most polls are designed to shape opinion, not reflect it. ****
Pollsters are looking close to what appears to be an absence of any significant bounce for harris following the DNC. Apart from the ones clearly biased democrat, more moderate polling indicates that the loudly touted surge in harris numbers was like a wave on the beach and is quickly pulling back.
Don’t put your trust in polls, hillary was up by 17 at this stage. And Harris’s flip flopping like the fish left on that beach as the wave receded suggests that they know things are now all “joy”
***
Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment of former President Trump in the special counsel’s case against him alleging a conspiracy to obstruct the 2020 election after the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting presidents immunity.
RUMINT. Special Counsel Jack smith is planning to indict in September over 200 GOP members of congress who assisted Trump in conspiring “to overturn the presidential election and overthrow the government.”
OBSERVATION - Smith is a good little drone, and his reworded indictments likely will have less substance than before.
HOWEVER, what I find more disturbing is the rumor that smith is contemplating indicting 200 members of congress for the same. That will raise the political heat by an order of magnitude and likely force the issue of his removal as being an illegal appointment - something still working thru the courts. If there ever was a broader reason for a CW . . . . .
Biden / Harris Watch –
On Thursday — 39 days since being installed as the Democrat nominee — Kamala will sit for her first formal interview.
- Joint, since she’s not competent enough to do it on her own.
- Taped, so her handlers have time to play damage control.
***
Harris has been flip flopping on numerous issues. Some of the latest is reversal on the EV mandate and now is even advocating building the wall that she opposed on the border.
RELATED - Tim Walz: I’ll invest in a “ladder factory” to help illegal aliens jump the border wall
In other news, Kamala Harris has reportedly flip-flopped on the border wall and now supports its construction.
***
Looks like harris capitulated on the debate rules for ABC and will go forward with the originally agreed to rules.
“The Rules will be the same as the last CNN Debate, which seemed to work out well for everyone except, perhaps, Crooked Joe Biden. The Debate will be ‘stand up,’ and Candidates cannot bring notes, or ‘cheat sheets,’” Trump explained.
“We have also been given assurance by ABC that this will be a ‘fair and equitable’ Debate, and that neither side will be given the questions in advance (No Donna Brazile!),” Trump added.
Illegal Immigration –
CROSS REFERENCE TO CW2 AS WELL - Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are illegally working as food delivery drivers across America, DailyMail.com can reveal, showing up to your door under names and identities that don’t belong to them.
The troubling development is a consequence of the one million Venezuelan citizens who have flooded into the US, largely illegally, during President Joe Biden‘s time in office, with many entering through the US-Mexico border.
It raises huge concerns about the safety of the home delivery apps and the consumer’s ability to trust who is actually delivering food to their home and family – with customers’ personal information potentially placed in the hands of dangerous street gangs.
OBSERVATION - The potential for follow-on crime and other abuse is astronomical.
China –
While the world has been focused on the geopolitical tensions between China and the West, a more subtle battle has been unfolding in the global financial markets. China, through a series of calculated moves, has been quietly accumulating vast quantities of gold and silver. This move has signaled a potential shift in the global economic landscape and highlights the developing countries’ need for exorbitant amounts of resources.
https://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/precious-metals/article-815780#google_vignette
OBSERVATION - China’s not only working to hoard gold and silver, they are locking down the availability of rare earth metals and materials as well as purchasing copious amounts of food for stockpile.
Phillipines –
(FO) Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Paparo said that escorting Philippine vessels to their resupply points in the South China Sea is “an entirely reasonable option within our Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT).” This was in response to a question about the repeated Chinese aggression surrounding the Spratly Islands.
General Romeo Brawner, chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said that the Philippines would run resupply missions on its own until they are constrained from doing so. He followed-on that the Philippines may turn to “other like minded nations” instead of the U.S.
OBSERVATION - Chinese aggression will only continue until some one stands up to the bully and pushes back. When that happens things could get spicy.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures continue in the upper 80s to mid 90s range and fair.
RUMINT –
Unconfirmed reports that the Ukrainian Military has entered the territory of the Belgorod Oblast, Russia & is gaining a foothold. Fighting has been confirmed in the areas but extent of penetration is unknown.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Russian forces are slowly moving towards Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub in Ukraine’s Donbas region, concerns about its potential loss are mounting.
Ukraine Kursk Offensive-
Ukrainian forces continue to push outward.
Crimean front —
Russian army is moving S-300/S-400 from Sevastopol towards eastern Crimea. Evidently attempting to reinforce air defenses over Kerch Strait bridge.
Russian Territory –
Oil depot of Russian state reserve enterprise “Atlas” caught fire after drone attack near Kamensk-Shakhtinsky of Rostov region
Outlook —
Russian move towards Pokrovsk is of increasing concern. Its capture would provide Russia with significant options to spread the fight into other areas of the Donbas. Ukraine needs to get serious about shutting this threat down.
The Belarus border buildup has caused growing concern to me. I’ve seen nothing from Ukraine on counter efforts. I would hope that they’ve deployed an abundance of mines and other obstacles on assault routes into Ukraine from these staging areas. As noted under Belarus - these brigades may represent the best trained units under Wagner scrutiny. But should Belarus join the fight, there are strong possibilities that Poland may execute its own incursion into Belarus. However, at this time no Polish buildup has been noted towards the Belarus border beyond that supporting the protection of the border from migrant penetrations.
Belarus -
Belarusian units added the tactical sign “B” on their tanks while “exercising” on the border to Ukraine. Two mechanized brigades of equipment have been deployed to the border with Ukraine. They have been allocated the tactical sign ‘В’. The equipment has no ‘cope cages’ - fencing and the like designed to stop FPV drones from getting to the tank/armored vehicle.
OBSERVATION - As more details come in, the needle is moving towards a potential foray by Belarus into Ukraine. The addition of the “B” is an invasion marking to avoid friendly fire incidents, seen a lot from Russia using “V” or “Z” on their vehicles and equipment. The presence of former Wagner is of foremost concern and as advisors would provide significant tactical capabilities to the forces. Secondly, there is evidence as I’ve said before that they have been conducting more intense training of the Belarus army and that they are a more capable element than 2 years ago. A relatively small element of 2 brigades could easily represent an ‘elite’ group with more intensive training by Wagner.
Europe / NATO General –
Reports are emerging that the United Arab Emirates government has FROZEN billions of dollars worth of contracts with France for the purchase of 80 fighter jets due to the recent arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Israel launches major operation in Jenin and the West Bank.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
In a special operation by our forces, the abducted Qadi Farhan was rescued from the Gaza Strip. Qadi was found during an Israeli operation to capture a network of Hamas tunnels under southern Gaza
In a night operation lasting a few hours in south Khan Yunis, the body of the soldier Shaked Cohen, who was killed on 7th October and was abducted to Gaza, was recovered. Now 107 abductees remain in captivity, of which 35 are presumed dead
A former mayor of Rahat said rescued hostage Farhan al-Qadi told him that a fellow captive died alongside him in Gaza, as details began to trickle out about his more than 10 months in Hamas captivity after he was rescued Tuesday by Israeli special forces.The information could not immediately be verified and there was no comment from the Israel Defense Forces or from the Hostage Families Forum.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Israel army says it has destroyed a 3 km long tunnel in central Gaza
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Israel continued to strike throughout S Lebanon and the Beqaa valley. An Israeli strike overnight in Lebanon’s Beqaa valley targeted multiple trucks carrying ammunition in the Baalbek region
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday that 90% of the Hezbollah rockets that were intercepted Sunday were fired from civilian areas in southern Lebanon, a further violation of international law by the Iran-backed terror group.
Hezbollah and Hamas, a Palestinian terror group, both follow the practice of hiding weapons among civilians so that if Israel attacks the weapons sites, there will be civilian casualties for which Israel will be blamed — even though intentionally exposing civilians to enemy fire is a violation of international humanitarian law by the terrorists.
——— SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-
3 Palestinians and a Lebanese killed in Israeli raid on their car in the Damascus countryside. Likely affiliated with Hamas ore Hezbollah.
A number of missiles were launched from Syrian territory towards the Golan. Israeli artillery targeted several military points in the Quneitra province in Syria
———WEST BANK——————————-
The IDF has begun a MAJOR operation to arrest wanted persons and destroy terrorist infrastructure in Judea & Samaria.
The operation will be targeting 3 main camps: Jenin, Nur al-Shams (Tulkarm), and Parah. IDF forces have already encircled hospitals to prevent terrorists from reaching them, and screening the patients who enter.
The broad operation, includes significant air cover, hundreds of fighters, including undercover, and the possibility of an orderly population evacuation of Palestinians depending on the intensity of the combat.
Exchanges of fire overnight were ongoing in the camps, and there are casualties among the terrorists, mainly in Jenin, where at least two were killed.
This IDF Special Operation into the West Bank tonight is a significant one. Reports of several units on the ground, some with armour, air assets also up. Reports of airstrikes and several terrorist killed. Likely this will last for much longer than just tonight.
The IDF has surrounded a hospital in the terrorist town of Jenin, which is full of terrorists, and is expected to storm into it.
Israeli FM: The Israeli army is working intensively from tonight in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps to thwart Islamic-Iranian terrorist infrastructures that have been established there. Iran is working to establish an eastern terrorist front against Israel in the West Bank, according to the Gaza and Lebanon model, by financing and arming militants and smuggling advanced weapons from Jordan. We must deal with the threat just as we deal with the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, including the temporary evacuation of Palestinian residents and whatever steps are required. This is a war for everything and we must win it.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Jordanian Foreign Minister: Security Council and international community must take immediate measures to stop Israeli violations in Jerusalem
——— FORECAST ————————-
Israeli security forces have been aggressively working in the West Bank and in particular of late, Jenin since the start of the Gaza war. Iran has been trying to build a Hamas- like terror network to act as another front in its war against Israel. For clarity, the fronts Iran has designed consist of Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq, Houthi and now the west bank. Jordan has not been too effective in stopping arms and munitions smuggled into the West bank from Syria or Iraq.
US still emphasizing that iran is set to launch an attack. This has been their assessment for weeks now and as far as a US preparation posture I would endorse. Iran continues to make similar threats, but with a caveat that any delay is to inflict psychological stress on Israel.
I expect the game of chicken to continue for a little while longer. Iran, however, can’t afford to wait too long as support is eroding and they are losing face. They also can’t wait too much longer as Israel continues to chisel away at Hezbollahs readiness and capabilities. Hezbollah is also losing patience with Iran and may try to take further actions on its own.
Iran –
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Tuesday opened the door to renewed negotiations with the United States over his country’s nuclear program, telling its civilian government there was “no harm” in engaging with its “enemy”, The Associated Press reported.
Khamenei’s remarks set clear red lines for any talks taking place under the government of new President Masoud Pezeshkian and he renewed his warnings that Washington cannot be trusted.
However, his comments mirror those around the time of the signing of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, noted AP.
“This does not mean that we cannot interact with the same enemy in certain situations,” Khamenei said, according to a transcript on his official website. “There is no harm in that, but do not place your hopes in them.”
Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters, also warned Pezeshkian’s Cabinet, “Do not trust the enemy.”
Asked for comment, the US State Department told AP, “We will judge Iran’s leadership by their actions, not their words.”
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/395276
OBSERVATION - Delay / distraction tactic by Tehran to get focus and support off/away from Israel.
***
Iranian Deputy Defense Minister says their revenge for Haniyeh’s assassination will be “sudden and proportionate”, and Israel “must live in a state of psychological anxiety”
***
NSC spokesperson John Kirby says Iran is “postured and poised” to attack Israel, says US has warned Iran not to attack, will help defend Israel if Iran does
Misc of Note –
I don’t know about you, but just when you think things can’t get any crazier someone calls out ‘hold ma beer’ and the chaos ramps up another notch.
All of this has caused many to consider that there is a storm approaching in the near future of a magnitude not seen since the civil war. We see the deep state moving resolutely to imposing a communistic rule over the country, global economic and wars , and an over all breakdown of society.
I don’t want to drift into the ‘cry wolf’ syndrome but I’ve never saw anything like this in my 60+ years of orbiting the sun. And it’s only getting worse.
