Welcome to Threat Matrix 2025
For historical reference TM2024 link is
https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4207046/posts?q=1&;page=1#1
Established in 2001, after the 9/11 attack on America and now in its 24th year, this thread is designed to identify threats to America, both internal and external, and evaluate the probability of those threats occurring and the extent of potential damage. Discussions may stray into ‘tinfoil’ territory, but the goal is to peel back and confirm information so we can make informed decisions and actions. Incredible as it seems, “tinfoil” conspiracy theories have fast become realities so they can no longer be ignored outright, but must be evaluated and compared to current events.
2024 has been “historic”: - The landslide election of Trump back into the Whitehouse, and the collapse of the massive lawfare effort against him. - Assassination attempts on Trump - Stunning defeat of Hamas and Hezbollah by Israel - Israel directly hits Iran after Iranian missile strikes, eliminating Iranian missile production capabilities for several years as well as destroying most of its air defense assets. - The almost overnight overthrow of Syria’s Assad and the associated serious losses to Russia and Iran/Hezbollah
I expect 2025 to be even worse as we are facing: - Massive political infighting as the Swamp tries to thwart the Trump agenda - Potential for civil unrest and violence driven by the communist left and Antifa affiliated elements. - Potential violence as Trump implements is deportation plan for millions of illegals. - The potential for a serious and deep recession - Further movement towards implementing the goals of the WEF via its “global reset” - Combat in Ukraine that could spill out into other parts of Europe - Russian nuclear threats - China making a move on Taiwan - Israel and Iran finally directly going at it. - Other political turmoil growing globally over a wide range of issues. - Potential for a wide variety of Black Swan events to create even greater problems.
It has been my pleasure to continue this thread over the past few years. This thread hopefully is continuing the goals of when it started.
For those who care, my posts reflect my scanning of the interwebs to provide me with early warning concerning factors that can endanger my life and family. Yes, I’m what many would call a “prepper”, and proudly accept that characterization.
How can something happening half way around the world affect me personally? Wuhan virus, my friend is but one recent example. I noted it in TM Dec 2019 and was prepared when chaos hit in 2020.
Other events have secondary and tertiary affects that reach us via shortages and inflation – fossil fuel prices are the most common, as well as economic impacts. I simply share news items and often my opinions that shape my actions and preparations.
My posts are broken down into specific topics and regions. I highlight and evaluative opensource reports in those areas in regard to how it will affect the US. Sometimes it feels like trying to drink from a fire hose – even more so following 2022.
So buckle up for the ride. This is an open thread that I want to continue as a clearing house of tidbits of intelligence contributed by the FR community so that we are all aware of what’s happening and what the impacts of those events will be. Knowledge is power
Actually, we don't have to wonder. They've already made it crystal clear.
Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics
Women who received their first mRNA COVID-19 shot during early pregnancy, specifically between weeks eight and 13, were significantly more likely to experience pregnancy loss than expected, according to a recent study in Israel. The study, which is the first national-scale analysis to examine gestational timing in relation to receipt of the mRNA COVID biologic during pregnancy, found nearly four additional losses per 100 pregnancies in this group. This represented a roughly 40 percent increase over the baseline rate.
Most of the pregnancy losses occurred during late-term pregnancy, with the majority happening after 20 weeks gestation and nearly half after 25 weeks. This type of pregnancy loss is categorized as a stillbirth, which is associated with greater medical risks and profound psychological impacts for mothers.
OBSERVATION - I remember commenting on the jab and its impacts on pregnancy way back in the 2020-2021 timeframe. Back then though the results were forced under wraps and treated as conspiracy theory material. The fact that Pfizer and Moderna, aided by their cohorts in the CDC/FDA continue to push this concoction on women and pregnant ones at that should have resulted on the pitchforks and torches being brought out a long time ago.
POLITICAL FRONT –
Alina Habba stepped down from her job as Interim US Attorney.
Then President Trump IMMEDIATELY appointed her as ACTING US Attorney . Habba’s reappointment outmaneuvers judicial overreach, the real issue is D.C.’s addiction to obstruction. Bondi’s removal of Desiree Grace—a career prosecutor with nine years of service—highlights the swamp’s desperation to protect its racket.
OBSERVATION - The law that reportedly gives the judges a say in who the district attorney is will be coming under challenge/change. This action by Trump was smooth as he allowed the rogue liberal judges to select one of their own as Interim Attorney - outing her - then firing her.
TRUMP Watch –
President Trump was in his construction element at the Federal Reserve today, touring the site of the controversial, purportedly Taj-Mahal-like renovations the Fed Chair has been overseeing. The wispy, bespectacled Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, looks like he shrank three sizes today.
Powell attempted to BLOCK White House staff from visiting, so Trump decided he was PERSONALLY going.
It didn’t go well for Powell
Reporter: “As a real estate developer, what would you do with a project manager who would be over budget?”
TRUMP while standing right next to Jerome Powell: “I’d FIRE him.”
OBSERVATION - The power of Trump’s presence plus his verbal prowess to a weasel like Powell sends a strong message to the Fed. Trump says he isn’t firing him but is laying on the pressure with receipts that may have him step down on his own.
Japan –

Russia is trying to flex military muscle in a show of force.
Asia General –
Cambodia / Thailand Threat Level WATCH as of Jul 24, 2025
Situation continues to be tense as the news reporting is relatively scarce and that which is out there borderlines propaganda - depending on source. What is known is that artillery, airstrikes and small arms engagements are continuing and troops from both sides being deployed to the disputed region.
Cambodian forces have deployed tanks near Satta Som Mountain in Ban Phumsarol, Sao Thong Chai Subdistrict, Kantharalak District, Si Sa Ket Province.
According to the Second Army Region, Thai forces have successfully neutralized at least two enemy armored vehicles in the area.
In response, Thai troops have initiated drone-based airstrikes, deploying UAVs to carry out precision bomb drops on hostile positions.
RUMINT. - Cambodia is considering an armored push into Thailand at “Ta Thav”.
Thailand’s Emergency Medical and Public Health Operations Center (EOC) reports 13 deaths, 31 injuries, and 83,170 people evacuated following attacks from Cambodia - Khaosod
Thailand has rejected mediation from a third country to end the conflict with Cambodia, insisting that Cambodia stop the attacks and resolve the situation only through bilateral talks - Reuters
Map of Thai/Cambodia fight
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GwnxM4rWcAAjnSP?format=jpg&name=small
OBSERVATION - Action hard to evaluate much like the scrap between India and Pakistan. Evident is the difference in military equipment at hand. Thailand is moving modern stuff, like US APC etc, while Cambodia moves Vietnam era and earlier equipment to the region. With this fight going back over 100 years, it may not end soon. How big it will get is yet to be seen.
Ukraine –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025
WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the 60-80 range, mostly sunny but with scattered thunderstorms..
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
In response to national protests, President Zelensky has submitted a bill to the Rada to secure full independence for NABU and SAPO. The move follows public protests and EU criticism against a controversial law that placed both bodies under the Prosecutor General’s control.
Overnight on July 25, Russia launched 63 air attack assets against Ukraine—2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 61 Shahed-type and decoy drones. Ukrainian air defense successfully shot down or suppressed 54 drones in the north and east. Seven drones hit four locations, with debris falling in two others.
Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck the Nevinnomyssk Azot Plant, one of Russia’s largest explosives manufacturing facilities.
Russian losses per 25/07/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff
+980 men
+3 tanks
+5 AFVs
+31 artillery
+2 AD systems
Summary —
Slow down continues in the Russian drone war, while Ukraine makes a significant hit on Russian war production. The next major spike in numbers due within a few days.
On the ground, Russian losses suggest a relatively moderate level of activity. Still watching the area around Pokrovsk for any further Russian gains.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Israel withdraws negotiation team from Doha.
- France threatens to recognize Palestinian state.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Macron announces that France will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Macron’s announcement of his intention to recognize a Palestinian state is a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism, granting a reward and encouragement to the murderers and rapists of Hamas, who carried out the most horrific massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Instead of standing with Israel in this time of trial, the French president is acting to weaken it.
We will not allow the establishment of a Palestinian entity that would harm our security, endanger our existence, and undermine our historical right to the Land of Israel.
We are all united to prevent this grave danger.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it. Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel.
US Ambassador to Israel GovMikeHuckabee:
“France should carve out a piece of the French Riviera, and create a Palestinian state there.”
Many parts of France already look like Gaza.
Hamas welcomes French President Macron’s announcement to recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September, calling it a “positive step” and urging other nations to follow France’s lead.
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
Message from the President’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff:
We have decided to bring our team back from Doha for consultations following Hamas’s latest response, which clearly indicates its unwillingness to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. Although mediation efforts were significant, it appears that Hamas is not acting in good faith. We will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home and create a more stable environment for the residents of Gaza.
——— JUDEA AND SAMARIA——————————-
The Judea and Samaria Council urges Israel to immediately apply full sovereignty over the region, following Macron’s announcement to recognize a Palestinian state.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
Hothis launched a drone towards Israel that was intercepted.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Several EU nations are pressuring Brussels to take concrete measures against Israel over its handling of the Gaza war, citing a failure to ease the worsening humanitarian crisis, diplomats said Thursday.
The UN says that the reason they are not delivering over 950 trucks sitting in Gaza, is because the “routes are unsafe.”
The IDF offered to escort the UN, to which they refused.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
The fight is shifting sharply from actual bombs to that where nations / globalist organizations that are anti-Israel are pushing from two fronts. The loudest come from so called ‘aid’ organizations claiming that there is a massive famine in Gaza. Facts say otherwise, but the MSM doesn’t have the integrity to report such. Attempts to show gaunt, children being held by well fed mothers is just one example. One key factor in this is the grift that UN agencies get from controlling aid into Gaza and their tacit support of Hamas as it seizes that aid.
Second front being opened up is the more aggressive actions towards a Palestinian ‘state’. France now is leading the charge. Their declaration says nothing about the hostages still being held.
In 2005, Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip by dismantling all 21 Israeli settlements there. The disengagement was executed unilaterally by Israel, creating essentially a Palestinian state of Gaza. The results are coming in with terror attacks over the course of the last 20 years, culminating in the brazen assault on Oct 7th. Arabs and the anti - Israeli govts of the world don’t want a two state solution - they want the elimination of Israel, and this is a tool towards that goal.
Currently, all Macron can do is announce it in the general assembly. He knows the US will veto any measure at the security council. But garnering international support is more the goal.
On the bombs and bullets side, no significant changes in the actions of Israel towards Hezbollah and Syria, except Syria is talking nicely. See more on Syria below.
In Gaza, in response to Hamas’ resistance to any move towards a cease fire, Israel has indicated that ground operations will continue and intensify. I don’t expect any break thru any time soon.
Iran –
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 17, 2025
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Our meeting with the European Troika today is an opportunity to test its realism and correct its view on the nuclear issue.
OBSERVATION - Iran trying to do the delay dance with Europe to avoid snap back sanctions. Doubtful Iran will concede to the E3s demand that it return to the bargaining table with the US as well as restore inspections by international authorities.
Syria -
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 25, 2025
Downgraded due to current ceasefire and disengagement of combatants in S Syria.
Last night a joint Syrian-US operation was carried out against ISIS cells in the town of Al-Bab (N. Aleppo). The operation involved Defense Ministry troops, Security forces and a US special forces airdrop. According to local sources, 4 members were reportedly killed and several captured including an Iraqi leader overseeing operations in N. Syria and the desert

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu: ‘We will demilitarize the areas south of Damascus and will do everything necessary to help and protect the Druze in Syria’
For the first time in 25 years, Israeli minister Ron Dermer met face-to-face with Syria’s foreign minister in Paris. Reports say Syria agreed to demilitarize the Druze region of al-Sweida and withdraw regime forces.
***
The Druze in Syria has officially declared victory and the full liberation of Suweida province after ousting the last Syrian government forces from Umm al-Zeytoun.
OBSERVATION - Tensions still high in S Syria but stabilizing. How Netanyahu plans to disarm the region around the Druze region is yet to be seen. Jolanhi is a snake and may find ways for his sunni base to continue efforts to kill Druze.
Thanks Godzilla
Globalism / Great Reset –
The same biotech firm that birthed Moderna—the company behind one of the most controversial COVID-19 vaccines—is now turning its sights on the food supply. Flagship Pioneering, the venture capital giant that funded Moderna’s rise, has unveiled a new venture called Terrana Biosciences, designed to spray crops with synthetic RNA that infiltrates plants, rewrites their biological functions, and may even pass these artificial genetic instructions to future generations. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the next frontier of genetic manipulation, one that raises alarming questions about corporate and governmental control over life itself. If RNA can be engineered to persist in plants, spread through ecosystems, and alter biology on command, what’s stopping these same forces from deploying it on human populations—without consent, transparency, or accountability?
https://thelibertydaily.com/architects-modernas-mrna-shots-are-plotting-spray-rna/
OBSERVATION - Placing this here due to its connection to the globalist push for food control. Not satisfied with the chaos mRNA jabs caused to humans, the push now it to do the same and threaten our food supply.
Those paying attention should be seeing the trend here, from forcing people to eat bugs to cutting off traditional agriculture products such as meats and other items. Heck, even throw in the attempts to dim sunlight which would severely impact food production. Its all about food and controlling the population. These mRNA additives could cause food production to crash as well as unannounced impacts to humans. These same companies have been trying to push wuhan mRNA additives to food to get those covid spike producing menaces into all of humanity.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Threat Level - ADVISORY - up dated July 26, 2025
Threat level downgraded to ADVISORY due to lack of major actions and generally only local disturbances with not weight carrying towards national level disruptions or riots.
Weekend here, no major announced protests that I’ve been able to see. There are report of many planned ones across the US under multiple flags of complaint. Some could result in local violence, particularly those associated with anti deportation and in Antifa stronghold regions. Be alert as things can change rapidly.
Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025
A bipartisan poll shows a dramatic shift in public opinion on the state of the U.S. economy, with a net 23-point swing toward optimism since April, an uptick that parallels renewed economic momentum under President Donald Trump’s policies, according to officials and market data.
The Wall Street Journal survey, conducted by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio and Democrat partner firm Impact Research, found that 47 percent of Americans now rate the economy as “excellent” or “good,” up from just 36 percent in April. Meanwhile, those saying the economy is “not so good” or “poor” dropped from 63 percent to 51 percent.
The swing in public opinion comes amid a sharp drop in recession odds on prediction markets and sustained positive economic signals, developments that Trump officials and allies have attributed to the strength of his economic policies.
OBSERVATION - Though still subjective, the opinions are likely driven by the pocketbook, maintaining some grasp of reality. A major drag on the economy is the housing market and that is due to tight fed policies continuing.
TRUMP Watch –
Trump: “Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die…”
“It got to a point where you are going to have to finish the Job…”
Illegal Immigration –
Deportation flights are already happening from the Alligator Alcatraz which happens to be colocated at an active airfield.
Asia General –
Cambodia / Thailand Threat Level WATCH as of Jul 24, 2025
Situation continues to be tense as the news reporting is relatively scarce and that which is out there borderlines propaganda - depending on source. Here are some snippets of the reported action
The Thai Navy has launched Operation “Trat Pikhart Pairee 1” after Cambodian forces opened fire, expanding the conflict zone to Trat Province, a coastal region near the Gulf of Thailand - Khaosod
10 artillery shells from the Thailand–Cambodia clashes landed in southern Laos, hitting military outposts and civilian homes in Champasak Province. No injuries reported - Lao military statement
Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense has rejected Thailand’s claim that Cambodian forces fired rockets into Laos, calling it a “fabricated and baseless accusation.” - Khmer Times
Soldiers with the Royal Thai Army have raised the Flag of Thailand over the Phu Makhuea Mountain in Northern Cambodia, on the border between Cambodia and Thailand, after the disputed area was captured following intense clashes on Saturday.
Thai F-16s and Gripens struck Cambodian military targets at Phu Makuea–Prasat Ta Muean Thom to stop ballistic threats. All targets hit, Royal Thai Air Force says - Khaosod
Cambodia calls for a ceasefire with Thailand, according to Cambodia’s ambassador to the UN.
Per AFP: “Cambodia asked for an immediate ceasefire — unconditionally — and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute,” said Cambodia’s ambassador to the UN Chhea Keo following a closed meeting of the Security Council attended by Cambodia and Thailand.”
OBSERVATION - Hard to say just what is happening and where. Reports that each has seized cross border territories and heavy equipment continues to be deployed to the border region. That Cambodia is already calling for a ceasefire in itself suggests that they recognize they are out gunned in a straight up fight and some suggest China applying pressure to stop the fighting from expanding.
The reported stray artillery into Laos is of a concern, but at this time doesn’t indicate that the war is expanding.
Russia -
Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
*****
Personnel Issues –
Russian is pushing incentives for 18 yr olds to drop out of high school and enlist into the military. While potentially increasing the body pool, it has a counter effect of removing workers from the economy and damaging manufacturing - a double edged sword. Various analysts suggest that Russia can only play this recruiting game for so long - into early to mid 2026 - before hitting the wall hard.
Ukraine –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025
WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the 60-80 range, mostly sunny but with scattered thunderstorms..
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Russia launched a missile/drone attack overnight. Ukraine repelled most of it.
Shot down:
183/208 Shahed and other type drones
17/27 missile (12 Iskander-M/KN-23, 8 Iskander-K, 7 Kh-59/69)
The main focus was Kharkiv, Dnipro and Zaporizhzia.
Russian losses per 26/07/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff
+1080 men
+7 tanks
+7 AFVs
+2 MLRS
A Ukrainian drone strike hit the “Signal” military plant in Stavropol—one of Russia’s key facilities producing electronic warfare systems for aircraft and ground equipment, including the Topol-E.
Russian Ministry of Defense claims full occupation of Malyivka village of Dnipropetrovsk region and Zelenyi Hai village of Donetsk region of Ukraine
It is reported that Russian “Geran-2” (Shahed) UAVs are now maneuvering unpredictably over Ukraine.
Ukrainian interceptor drones are guided by radar to a point on the Geran-2 route in advance, so this countermeasure of a less predictable route will complicate interception.
Summary —
Missile/drone strikes are headed towards another spike. Modification of the ability of the Shahed to fly more erratically appears to be adding more difficulties to Ukraine ADA. However, as in all wars, such advantages are quickly countered and provide the edge for limited times.
On the ground, Russia continues to grind onward. Minor village captured, but so far for this year, no major towns have been lost by Ukraine. Pokrovsk and surrounding are the only one(s) under major threat. Pokrovsk was announced by Russia as the main axis for its summer offensive earlier this year.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Hostage / ceasefire talks collapse
- IDF expands Gaza operations and intensity.
- Global efforts to recognize a palestinian state before the establishment of one are faltering.
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
Israeli army expands its ground and air operations in eastern Gaza
Israeli army: We carried out 100 raids on several sites in Gaza within 24 hours.
A rocket launched from the southern Gaza Strip struck an open area near the border community of Kissufim, the military says.
Hamas says it is ready to resume negotiations after rejecting previous proposals.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
Hothis launched a ballistic towards Israel that was intercepted.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Macron tried to form a G7 front with Britain and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, aiming to balance the move by pushing Arab states towards a softer stance on Israel. London and Ottawa, wary of U.S. backlash, refused. — Reuters
Bloomberg report: Heavy pressure on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, from both his government and French President Emmanuel Macron, to immediately declare recognition of a Palestinian state as well. Ministers in Starmer’s government, including the Justice Secretary, Health Secretary, Northern Ireland Secretary, and Culture Secretary, are pressing Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy to declare recognition of a Palestinian state and express disappointment that they have not yet done so.
Spokesperson for the German government:
There is no intention to recognize a Palestinian state soon.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
The rising rhetoric over the recognition of a palestinian “state” (what ever that is) continues to overshadow Israeli operations in Gaza. Parallel with the renewed push for a two-state solution are continued bleats over the famine ‘crisis’ in Gaza, where fat well fed parents are photographed with emaciated children (many times the children are suffering from some other disease and not starvation or from a completely different country).
Trump’s comment (see above) also appears by some to be a further green light for expansion of operations in Gaza. Hamas continues to lose leverage of hostage holding and has only encouraged Israel to take a harder line on complete extermination of the group. While that may bring a level of peace in the short term, as long as anti-Israeli sentiment exists in the arab (and western) world, some other group of jihadis will rise up somewhere in the region to take their place.
Syria -
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 25, 2025
Downgraded due to current ceasefire and disengagement of combatants.
A statement issued by the Druze Unitarian Presidency, headed by Hikmat al-Hijri, announces the establishment of several local committees to manage the affairs of Sweida, consisting of a group of lawyers and judges within the governorate, to manage all relief, service, and reconstruction affairs in the governorate, according to the statement.
Renewed clashes in multiple areas in the Sweida countryside between Druze forces and Bedouin Tribal groups, according to Syrian media, as each side claims the other breached the ceasefire.
Misc of Note –
Dooms dayers are bleating about a potential eruption of Mt Rainier and St Helens as well as so called increased seismicity in the west. Folks, its called the ring of fire for a reason.
Activity at Rainier is associated with shallow, hydrothermal events, not unlike what happened at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone. Quake epicenters and signatures are not indicative of magma movements.
Similar for Mt St Helens. Though in this case some speculation on magma movement has not been ruled out.
These are dormant volcanos with historic eruptions. In the case of Rainier, even a minor eruption could be devastating due to the creation of lahars (massive mudflows caused by melting snow/ice and easily eroded highly weathered volcanic rocks), we are not at panic level stages yet.
Very much the same for cries of increasing earthquakes. Been some relatively big ones over the past week precisely in areas where similar quakes have historically occurred. Again, no aberrant activity.
Again, centered on the Pacific Ring of Fire, these quakes are expected. Big ones (mag 9 level) are also expected and historically have occurred. Biggest threat is the Cascadia fault off the pacific northwest who last saw a mag 9 level event in 1700. We know where to expect these monsters, but we still don’t have the means to predict their occurrences.
So for now, don’t go off the deep end on these articles, remember they are known hazards. What you should get out of them is an awareness of threats to you and your family if you live in areas that could be impacted. Plan accordingly. In the case of Mt Rainier, there are numerous maps showing regions threatened by lahars and secondary effects. Similar being developed for earthquake zones across the country.
Yes, the likelihood that Rainier (or some other volcano in the Cascade range) will erupt as some time in the future is a given. Same for the ‘big one’ earthquake. Your either have to plan for it or move out to a safer location.
This is the very first entry of Godzilla’s ping today.
Perhaps of interest to your gardening threads pingees.

From food to war. It’s all for population reduction and control. Thanks Godzilla.
First reduction, which makes the rest easier to control.

Trump's winning Americans over...
CW2 / Domestic violence - Threat Level - ADVISORY - up dated July 26, 2025
Here’s a controversial one for you. A far-right group called Return to the Land (RTTL) has built a whites-only community in northeastern Arkansas and is planning to expand this concept to Missouri.
RTTL characterizes itself as a “private membership association, (PMA)” according to The Independent. The objective is to build a refuge for folks with “traditional views and European ancestry.”
The group, founded in 2023, has established two compounds in the Ozarks. Members live off the grid in a community with cabins, wells, and even a schoolhouse. It rejects multiculturalism, immigration, and “forced integration” and seeks to “separate ourselves from a failing modern society.”
The group bans nonwhites, LGBTQ people, and non-Christians from living in its community.
Co-founder Eric Orwoll describes the community as a “fortress for the white race.” In a promotional video, Orwoll says, “You want a white nation? Build a white town? It can be done. We’re doing it.”
OBSERVATION - Further symptom of a much larger break down of our country’s core.
Add this to muslim imports essentially controlling towns in the country and beginning to enact essentially shria laws / conduct. Inner cities have been segregated for decades. It further reflects on the leftist agenda of demonizing anyone who is white.
As the country loses its focus as Americans and becomes more balkanized, should hot CW2 conditions break out, these hyper-segregated cities will be some of the most involved.
Terrorism - Threat Level - WATCH as of Jun 14, 2025
- Iran could activate cells in the US.
Authorities say that at least 11 people were injured during a mass stabbing attack in a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, on Saturday night.
The suspect who has not been identified has been taken into custody, so far no deaths have been reported.
Dan Bongino has announced that the FBI is involved in the response.
OBSERVATION - Tentatively placing under terror until better details come out.
Police have reported his age, but not race or name.
POLITICAL FRONT –
The Democrat Party has hit a 35-year low with American voters, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll showing 63 percent view the party unfavorably, the worst rating since 1990, and just eight percent hold a very favorable view. The findings reflect a party increasingly seen as out of step with voters, with Republicans now preferred on nearly every major issue.
The poll indicates that voters trust Republicans over Democrats to handle nearly every key issue, including inflation, tariffs, foreign policy, and most significantly immigration, where Republicans hold a staggering 24-point advantage.
OBSERVATION - This is very bad news for dems as they head into the initial phases of the 2026 midterm campaigns. If this actually trickles down, their hopes to recapture either the house or senate are cratering. OTOH, republicans are doing a lot to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, with their limited support of Trump and his popular policies, choosing instead to become the party of obstruction.
TRUMP Watch –
Donald Trump is meeting Sunday with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, taking a break from golfing in Scotland to discuss trade as both sides seek an agreement on tariff rates now that the White House’s deadline to impose stiff tariff rates is looming.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/trump-scotland-tariffs-europe/2025/07/27/id/1220222/
OBSERVATION - Some are decrying Trumps ‘golf trip’, conveniently ignoring that biden spent 40% of his work time on vacation, never interrupting it to deal with the country’s business. Even on a trip like this, Trump is working.
Asia General –
Cambodia / Thailand Threat Level WATCH as of Jul 24, 2025
Situation continues to be tense as the news reporting is relatively scarce and that which is out there borderlines propaganda - depending on source. Here are some snippets of the reported action
***
Trump stated in two posts earlier on Truth Social, that he spoke with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand about ending the escalating border conflict between the countries, stating that both Cambodia and Thailand want an “immediate ceasefire,” with President Trump further adding, “After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seem to be a natural. We will soon see!”
***
Unconfirmed reports that Iran is attempting to ship military supplies to Cambodia.
***
Various news reports note that even after calls for a ceasefire, fighting has continued along the disputed border region. Apart from some limited border penetrations by both sides, full scale war has been avoided so far.

Trump is losing patience and growing increasingly unwilling to wait for steps from Russia to end the war in Ukraine, according to US Secretary of State Rubio during an interview with Fox News.
***
Russia has canceled its main Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg due to “security concerns,” according to Putin’s press secretary Peskov.
Logistics –
Russia is ramping up arms production, now making up to 5,000 Geran-type drones monthly, according to a Radio Svoboda investigation. It also produces 200–250 missiles per month—Iskander, Kinzhal, Kalibr, Kh-101, Oniks, Zircon and more—amounting to up to 3,000 annually.
In 2025, Russia also plans to assemble 1,500 tanks, mostly upgraded Soviet models, with only about 280 being modern T-90Ms. Work is also underway on Tu-160 bomber upgrades and Su-57 fighter production, though none have been officially fielded yet.
OBSERVATION - These observations from analysts do not include sanction impacts on production. Russia has in part been increasingly successful in navigating around sanctions to get critical components into the country. However, as I’ve mentioned before, they are suffering manpower shortages in the manufacturing sector that has even spread over the agricultural sector. So in a way Russia is preparing to rob Peter to pay Paul.
Russian tank plans rely heavily on repairing and restoring cold war era tanks coming out of mothballs. Those yards are rapidly being depleted.
Ukraine –

Explosions were reported in Odesa and Odesa district, - Shahed-type drones raid
Pokrovsk axis (Formerly Ocheretyne) - New Main Effort
Reports of continued pressure in the areas north of Pokrovsk, in an evident attempt to envelope the city from that direction. Increasing reports of small teams attempting to infiltrate into Pokrovsk to recon and conduct sabotage actions.
North-Slobozhansky (Sumy) -
According to Russian sources, heavy fighting has erupted for the village of Oleksiivka in the Sumy region, currently still occupied by Russian forces. Russian sources complain that the situation is deteriorating due to the arrival of a significant amount of Ukrainian forces.
Russian Territory –
Drones have attacked electrical substation in Okyabrskiy village of Volgograd region
Partisan Resistance ——
Partisans from the Atesh movement sabotaged a railway line between Safonove and Novooleksiivka in occupied Kherson region, paralyzing Russian logistics on the Zaporizhzhia front. A damaged relay cabinet halted military cargo and fuel shipments toward Melitopol.
Summary —
Relatively calm drone action, while on the ground fighting is beginning to shape up on a couple of axis. For Ukraine, the fight for Pokrovsk is going to become increasingly critical. Some analysts suggest that it will still take many months of fighting at the current rate of progress for Russia to potentially seize the territory.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Israel opening up for increased food aid from UN and even Egypt
- Israel intercepted the “Hanzala”
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
The Israeli Navy prevented the illegal entry of the vessel “Hanzala” into the maritime area off the coast of Gaza.
The vessel is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. All passengers are safe.
The “Hanzala”, has arrived at the port of Ashdod.
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
The Israeli military will conduct a “local tactical pause of military activity” in densely populated areas of the Gaza Strip, starting from 10 a.m. till 8 p.m., the IDF announces. The military says the “pause” will take place in areas where the IDF is currently not operating with ground troops, including al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City, “every day until further notice.”
This move, coordinated with the UN and international groups, includes secure aid routes open from 06:00 to 23:00 for food and medicine deliveries.
***
There is a growing consensus within the mainstream media and the foreign-policy establishment that what is going on in the Gaza Strip has become so grievous that the fighting must end immediately. With even some supporters of Israel saying that after nearly two years of inaccurate if not downright false claims of famine and “genocide” in the coastal enclave, there are now the first credible claims that hunger is spreading, the political and diplomatic situation is beginning to turn even more sharply in favor of Hamas.
. . . . Their strategy to create a famine in spite of the fact that food and other supplies were available to feed the hungry didn’t just create suffering for their own people. It gave them leverage to continue the war they started on the morning of Oct. 7 to not only worsen the plight of Palestinians but also to bludgeon an exhausted and beleaguered Israel into submission.

———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says that Canada will move to formally push a Palestinian state at the United Nations.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
Bludgeoning by the international community has caused Israel to make way for more ‘aid’ to reach Gaza. It is a manufactured crisis and will only serve to enhance Hamas’ control over the population by seizing most of the food and aid being trucked in, as they have done in the past. This will also serve to slow and complicate military progress on the ground, giving Hamas a sliver of a breather.
However, the IDF appears to be planning to maintain the pressure on Hamas, and if they were smart, monitor the hijacking of supplies, follow to their storage areas and them bomb them into oblivion to deny their use.
International support for this so called ‘crisis’ has permitted Hamas to dig in on the hostage issue. Clearly note - not one word on the status of the hostages is linked to the press for more food into Gaza - none what so ever that I’ve been able to find.
This ‘relief’ will progress until elements get tired of Hamas hijacking their trucks and stop because it is ‘unsafe’ and attempt to blame Israel instead of Hamas for the failure.
Iran –
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 17, 2025
Iran faces its worst water crisis in decades. Reservoirs supplying Tehran are near empty after five years of drought and decades of mismanagement. Officials warn the capital could run out of water within weeks, with government offices shut and water pressure too low to reach upper floors of buildings. — NYT
OBSERVATION - I am surprised that the general population of Iran hasn’t risen up to demand diversion of resources to civilian infrastructure rather than waste it on military projects that produce nothing.
Lebanon -
A drone strike on the town of Dabaal in southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of Ali Gharib and Muhammad Haidar Abboud
***
IDF destroyed more Hezbollah infrastructure in S Lebanon over the past couple days.
Misc of Note –
A small group of scientists says that a mysterious intergalactic object, most likely an alien ship is heading towards earth. They are speaking of 3I/ATLAS discovered on July 1.
They further say this will result in an alien attack on earth in November. . . . .
OBSERVATIONS - I guess we don’t have enough distractions in our lives at the moment. . . . . .
Thanks Godzilla.
The only issues where voters preferred congressional Democrats over Republicans were healthcare and vaccine policy. On all other issues tested in the Journal poll, voters expressed more confidence in Republicans.

Stupid Mullahs - they must have a death wish..
Hey zillia - any chance Trump will slow release the Epstein lists 20 people at a time per week - starting with Hollywood weirdo’s and major democrat funders?
The MSM has hyped this story so much they’re going to have a hard time pretending it doesn’t matter.
