Yesterday’s post was OBE’d so to day is a little larger. Today is crazy as well, so running late.
Globalism / Great Reset –
The 30th World Climate Conference in Belém is not yet over, but it is already becoming apparent that the event, announced as the “Conference of Truth,” will go down in the history of climate conferences as a turning point.
No head of state from the four largest CO2-emitting nations—China (33%), the USA (12%), India (8%), and Russia (5%)—is showing up in Belém.
Even before the conference, the New York Times headlined: “The whole world is fed up with climate policy.” And the fact that Bill Gates, one of the biggest supporters and sponsors of climate policy, explicitly warned against excessive, shortsighted climate policy just 14 days before the conference, and put prosperity back in focus — a major blow.
OBSERVATION - A whole lot more at the link above. On a globalist level, the climate change agenda has reached a melt down as reality has set in, destroying a lot of the fear mongering. Oh that will still be used, but harsh economic conditions setting peoples minds back.

Baton-wielding protesters stormed the COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil, on Tuesday, with video showing some dressed in indigenous outfits, according to multiple reports.
The COP30 summit is the 30th annual meeting of parties to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), an agreement to reach “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050, according to the conference’s website. Video posted on X and aired by the BBC showed the protesters kicking doors and forcing their way into the building.

Apple is launching Digital IDs, a feature that allows you to create and store an ID in Apple Wallet using your US passport. In the announcement, Apple says Digital ID acceptance will begin to “roll out first” at TSA checkpoints for domestic travel in over 250 airports across the US.
You can present your Digital ID in place of a REAL ID at TSA checkpoints using your iPhone or Apple Watch. But Apple notes that it isn’t a replacement for your physical passport, and that you can’t use it for international travel or border crossings.
Apple already allows you to store your driver’s license in Apple Wallet in 12 states and Puerto Rico, but the new Digital ID option offers an alternative for people whose home state doesn’t support digital driver’s licenses or don’t already have a REAL ID or state ID. Apple first announced Digital IDs during its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the feature was supposed to arrive with iOS 26 before Apple quietly delayed it.
https://www.theverge.com/news/819077/apple-digital-id-launch-tsa
OBSERVATION - Globalist exist not only in govts, but mega corporations and will use all to push towards a common goal of switching everyone to a digital ID that will eventually be tied in to their bank account and controlled by a social data score. Apple and others are in the conditioning process for such a system. For such a reason I refuse to use the biometric unlocking systems for my iPhone.
Amazon has done similar with their biometrics and stores.

As if the COP 30 couldn’t get any more bizarre, now things have broken down over the definition of a “woman” with more conservative countries demanding it stays with the biological definition, while more woke delegates want the broader, social definition.
CW2 / Domestic violence - National Threat Level - WARNING - up dated Sep 28, 2025
Portland OR - Local Threat Level - WARNING as of Oct 25, 2025
Chicago IL - Local Threat Level - WARNING as of Oct 25, 2025
Los Angeles CA - Local Threat Level - ADVISORY as of Sep 28, 2025
Seattle WA - Local Threat Level - ADVISORY as of Sep 28, 2025
SF Bay area - Local Threat - ADVISORY as of Oct 25, 2025.
DATES TO NOTE -
.
22 November rally in Washington, D.C by “Removal Coalition”
MASS BLACKOUT - Nov 26 - Dec 2. Economic boycott.
***
Weekend forecast - Things pretty much unchanged from last weekend. Scattered protests - mostly signs and shouting - across the country. There is currently no major leftist unifying event for them to rally to. That said, localized incidences of violence may spring up, like last weekends Antifa assault on at TPUSA rally on the Berkeley campus. Be attentive to your local news.
***
Seattle voters have chosen Katie Wilson, a communist — technically a “Democratic Socialist” — to lead one of the most consequential cities in the country — the yin to Zohran Mamdani’s yang.
OBSERVATION - This follows Antifa’s dominance of the city, forcing leadership further to the left. Related associations in other major cities are also reflecting this trend to the hard left, like NYC, Chicago and LA. Within the CW2 matrix this is sharpening the separation of these populous blue cities from the surrounding red areas. This entrenches the leftist control of state house, further attacking red areas. Should things go sideways these islands of blue will find themselves dangerously isolated from the food and other supplies they need. Civic breakdown will see rises in gangs and the soft, vocally ‘tough’ progressive citizens who voted this anarchy on themselves will either cower to the violence or try to escape.
The smart and mostly red residents are already in the process of leaving these festering hell holes.
***
SecState Rubio. Today, building on @POTUS’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.
OBSERVATION - Placed here because it strengthens the ability to go after domestic Antifa cells.

(FO) People familiar with the matter said Southern District of Florida U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones is using unconventional interrogation tactics to oust prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Two federal prosecutors resigned last week after Quiñones ordered the prosecutors to sign integrity statements under threat of criminal prosecution.
People familiar with the plans said Quiñones is recruiting prosecutors and restructuring the U.S. Attorney’s Office chain of command, in preparation for conspiracy investigations into former officials involved in investigations against President Trump.
Forward Observer Observations - Biden and Obama holdover career officials in the Trump administration are attempting to undermine Trump through leaks and strategic noncooperation. The groups building up for a planned 2028 color revolution attempt said they will use these career officials through an “inside-outside” strategy. This move by Quiñones, restructuring of the DOJ and other federal agencies, and the clamp down on media access in the Pentagon are likely indicators that the Trump administration is aware of this effort and attempting to mitigate its impact.
MY OBSERVATIONS - This is a critical move by Quiñones especially in the face of the developing assault on the Deep State efforts to take out Trump under the Biden regime and before with Russia Gate. This is the stealth govt that has to be purged and it looks like he is going at it aggressively and in the right way.
Terrorism - Threat Level - ADVISORY as of OCT 26, 2025
Downgraded due to declining global threats and middle east war
***
Attorney General Pam Bondi said a man confronted New Jersey U.S. Attorney Alina Habba at her office on Wednesday, and fled the scene after destroying property. According to two New York Times sources, the man was stopped by security when he approached the building with a baseball bat, but was allowed to enter after he returned without the bat.
Police are searching for the man after he escaped the facility.
OBSERVATION - The security guards should be fired. First he should never have been allowed back in without the bat and second, why weren’t police immediately summoned.
***
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said it is investigating the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED) yesterday. The LVMPD said two men dressed in black placed an IED outside of a restaurant at 2:19AM PST, and the explosion was reported by employees who arrived at 10:36AM PST. LVMPD said no one was injured.
OBSERVATION - Test run by either Antifa wannabes, illegals or jihadis.
Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025
Growing concerns on Wall Street that the Fed will not lower rates again as expected.
Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –
Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR has been expanded by the DoW at Trump’s direction.
POLITICAL FRONT –
Top House Democrats said they will renew the Obamacare subsidy fight in January 2026. House Democrat leaders said Democrats will have renewed leverage ahead of the 31 January 2026 funding deadline.
OBSERVATION - Whenever the democrats claim that this is a republican healthcare crisis, I will ask when 0bama became a republican.
Illegal Immigration –
Biden-appointed Judge Jeffrey Cummings has ordered the Trump administration to release over 600 illegal immigrants who were just arrested during a Chicago ICE operation.
***
During an interview on Fox News yesterday, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official Greg Bovino said several hundred CBP agents are undergoing quarterly training in West Virginia ahead of a new federal surge. Bovino said the CBP agents could be redeployed to Chicago, IL, or deployed to New York, Cleveland, OH, or Charlotte, NC.
China -
Some reports that China is already doing work arounds to negate the trade agreement of recent weeks between Xi and Trump.
Russia -
Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
*****
Kremlin spokesman Peskov accuses Europe of “preparing for war” with Russia, pointing to rising defense budgets.
Ukraine –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025
WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the 30-50 degree range, with increasing showers/rain towards the end of the forecast period.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukraine’s Air Force reported on the massive overnight Russian attack:
Shot down:
405/430 Shahed and other type drones
2/3 Kinzhal Kh-47M2 aeroballistic missiles
0/1 Zircon anti-ship missile
6/6 Iskander-K/Kalibr cruise missiles
6/9 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles
Kyiv was the primary target.
Russian losses per 14/11/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff
+1040 men
+2 ACVs
+35 artillery
Ukrainian missiles slammed into the oil terminal of Russian port of Novorossiysk. Videos posted to social media show the port of Novorossiysk is almost entirely ablaze, with clouds of thick smoke seen billowing from the oil export terminal on the coast of the Black Sea.
A drone also hit a large S-300/400 battery protecting Novorossiysk harbor.
Overnight, a refinery in Saratov, Russia, was also targeted in Ukraine’s large-scale drone and missile attack. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.
YESTERDAY
Russia launched 138 strike drones and 1 Iskander-M ballistic missile. 102 drones were taken down - Ukrainian Air Forces
ISW. The situation in the Hulyaipole direction is deteriorating, although Russian forces will probably spend considerable time setting conditions for efforts to seize the settlement.
Other Key Takeaways:
Russian forces will likely attempt to isolate and encircle Hulyaipole from the northeast in accordance with a new campaign design that aims to degrade Ukrainian defenses to enable advances through infiltration tactics.
Elements of three Russian combined arms armies (CAAs) are currently arrayed to either conduct or support offensive operations against Hulyaipole.
Russian losses per 13/11/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff
+1180 men
+2 tanks
+11 ACVs
+9 artillery
+2 AD systems
Pokrovsk axis (Formerly Ocheretyne) -
In the battle for Pokrovsk, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck a concentration of Russian troops from the 51st Army in the village of Zatyshok, Donetsk region. Despite poor weather, Ukrainian drones hit the target where personnel from Russia’s 1st and 9th Motorized Rifle Brigades were gathering under cover of fog.
Analysis and Future Operations —
Pokrovsk and now Hulyaipole are focuses of Russian attacks, to the point of this is probably the more official start of their winter offensive. Russian success based on the thick fog at both locations, sheltering them from the lethal drone defenses. Infiltration followed on by superiors numbers is a formula Russia has had success with this year. That along with Russia applying encirclement movements - though at near glacial speeds.
Next few weeks are going to be rough for Ukraine in these areas.
Large drone/missile attack hit a number of civilian apartments and other facilities not military related. Again, fog may be in play restricting machine guns and other optically tracking ADA systems from taking down more drones.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Body of another hostage turned over to Israel
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
IAF launch raids on the southeastern areas of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip
***
Trucks entering the Gaza Strip today were hijacked by Hamas militants, as has become routine.
———INTERNATIONAL ————————
Associated Press: US draft resolution to grant a UN mandate for an international stabilization force in Gaza faces opposition from Russia, China, and Arab states
Russia on Thursday proposed its own draft of a UN resolution on Gaza in a challenge to a US effort to pass its own text at the Security Council that would endorse President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, according to a copy of the draft seen by Reuters.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
The bold Gaza peace plan of Trump is slowly falling apart - first the refusal of Hamas’ to disarm and be removed from the region and second the so called other guarantors of the plan are sitting on their hands.
In the north, Lebanese reluctance to confront Hezbollah to disarm and remove from the region south of the Litany River is causing that ceasefire to fall apart as well.
I am expecting Israel to intensify its attacks in Lebanon next month as the deadline given by the US to Lebanon will have passed. Israel will also continue to reduce Hamas pockets within the Yellow Zone and continue to reject any amnesty plans for the trapped Hamas fighters.
Iran –
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 17, 2025
The British maritime security firm Ambrey reported that a Marshall Islands–registered oil tanker en route from the UAE to Singapore encountered three Iranian boats that diverted the ship to an Iranian port.
OBSERVATION - Iran resorts to this when it feels the need to reassert its bad boy image and promote fear in the region, especially in the realm of its ability to mess with global oil shipments
**
IAEA: Iran has not been complying with its obligations to provide information on controversial uranium stocks since the attacks on the country by Israel and the US
***
(FO) The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned 32 individuals and entities based in Iran, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey, China, Hong Kong, India, Germany, and Ukraine for supplying missile fuel precursors and drone technology to Iran. These sanctions targets Iran’s ability to make rocket and missile fuel,
Lebanon - Threat Level - WARNING November 7, 2025
On Thursday, Adraee reports: false Lebanese reports circulated about an Israeli airstrike in the area of the village of Toul in southern Lebanon. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the car explosion resulted from a failed Hezbollah attempt to smuggle weapons. Hezbollah continues to violate the understandings, with its members operating under civilian cover and endangering reside
***
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported on Thursday that Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike at dawn on the southern town of Aitaroun, firing two air-to-surface missiles. The attack was followed by another raid on the western outskirts of the town of Tarfalsieh in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, and then two more strikes targeting the same area, according to the agency.
***
Guterres: UNIFIL will support the Lebanese army’s efforts to deploy south of the Litani River to ensure the area is free of any illegal weapons.
OBSERVATION - UNIFIL is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. See comments under Israel above
***
Guterres: The presence of Israeli forces north of the Blue Line and their raids on Lebanon are a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and Resolution 1701.
***
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to JNS on Wednesday that it is building a barrier at the Israel-Lebanon border and that the security wall is entirely on the Israel side, countering Arab media reports that the work is being carried out beyond the Blue Line. “Contrary to Lebanese reports, the barrier in question is located within Israeli territory and does not cross into Lebanese territory,” the IDF said.
Syria -
Clashes between Al-Hijri-led Druze factions and the Syrian Internal Security Forces in the countryside of Suwayda, Syria, have ended, reports Al-Arabiya.
The Druze National Guard paramilitary group claimed armed groups affiliated with Syria’s General Security Service attacked sites in Ira, Slaim, and Al-Majdal.
Syrian state media quoted the Internal Security Forces Command, alleging that rebel groups in Suwayda violated the ceasefire for the third day in a row, and the ISF responded.
***
Syrian Foreign Minister, Asaad Al-Shaibani:
Russia was a partner to the former regime and it participated in increasing the suffering of the Syrian people.
Our approach to Russia is pragmatic and we do not want to face this state.
The Russian role in Syria will not be that of the past.
***
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa laid out his positions on a number of topics, including the talks about a security arrangement with Israel, in an interview with The Washington Post following his historic visit to the White House on Monday.
The former terrorist noted that “direct negotiations” with Israel are ongoing and had advanced “a good distance” toward an agreement.
“But to reach a final agreement, Israel should withdraw to their pre-December 8 borders,” Sharaa said.
OBSERVATION - Syria wants the Golan Heights back, something that wont happen. For those of us grey enough to remember, when Syria occupied the Heights, they used it for artillery observation to rain shells on Israeli settlements to the west. Syria lost the hills for good after the 1973 Yom Kippur war.
Venezuela - Threat Level - ADVISORY Sept 4, 2025
Venezuela has announced a “massive mobilization” of its military in response to the increased U.S. military presence in the Caribbean Sea.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López said Tuesday that Venezuelan military and reserve forces would carry out training exercises through Wednesday in response to the “imperialist threat” from the United States, according to CNN. Padrino López said that the order to put Venezuela on a war footing came from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
***
Senior U.S. military officials, including SecWar Hegseth and Chairman Caine, briefed President Trump on updated options for potential land strikes in Venezuela yesterday. The President hasn’t made his decision yet.
President Trump launches Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR, a new mission led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and @SOUTHCOM. The operation targets narco-terror groups in the Western Hemisphere and aims to stop drug flows threatening the U.S.
Central / South America General-
Ecuador will vote this weekend on whether or not to reestablish U.S. bases in Ecuador that were closed in 2009. Ecuadorian President Noboa expects the vote to pass but anonymous Ecuadorian authorities say that even a “no” vote will not derail security plans with the United States.
OBSERVATION - Continued movement to the right in Central and South America. They not only see the economical benefits of realigning with the US but security concerns as well
