Globalism / Great Reset –
Across the UK, mass bee die-offs are being reported just as the government officially acknowledges a sinister new operation: spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to block out the sun. Coincidence? Hardly.
The UK government has now admitted it is funding large-scale solar geoengineering experiments, committing £50 million through the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) to tamper with the sun’s rays. Techniques like stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening — once dismissed as conspiracy theories — are now being actively developed.
Beekeepers from Kent to the Highlands are finding fields littered with dead bees, describing “swarms dropping from the sky” and hives going eerily silent overnight. Bees depend on sunlight to navigate, feed, and survive. Disrupting the sun’s intensity and the natural atmospheric balance spells a death sentence — not just for bees, but for the entire food chain.
Officials, meanwhile, continue to gaslight the public, pretending these deaths are “mysterious” and assuring citizens the geoengineering program is “harmless research.”
OBSERVATION -
The credibility of the ‘peoples voice’ is not well established in my book, but the scenario is plausible.
One repeating theme of the globalists is to depopulate the planet to ‘sustainable’ levels. In this case, information is lacking on the current extent for the climatic change experiments and locations in relationship to where the bee die offs are occurring.
This is a dangerous development if true - bees are essential the the food chain of the world. Dimming the sun’s light will also cause crop failures, and reduced plant growth with decreased CO2 absorption.

May Day - May 1st
(FO). Far Left groups are joining Democrat politicians and progressive activists in calls for direct action demonstrations against the Trump administration. Far Left groups are joining Democrat politicians and progressive activists in calls for direct action demonstrations against the Trump administration. Pritzker called for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors” Over the weekend, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned supporters that, “There’s not going to be an election in 2028 if we don’t win this fight now.” So far, organizers have scheduled 900+ May Day protests and demonstrations, to take place between Thursday, 01 May and Sunday, 04 May.
And revolutionary anarchists in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, and other cities have scheduled direct action demonstrations that could turn into black bloc riots. Revolutionary anarchists in Olympia, WA are promoting a “roving economic blockade” on May Day in which they appear to be intending to block highway traffic during rush hour.
Two other revolutionary anarchist events – one in Seattle, WA and the other in Portland, OR – scheduled for the evening of May Day, which could result in direct action demonstrations (graffiti, property damage, arson, etc.) later that night. In Tacoma, Washington, a number of Far Left groups are reportedly planning a march to the Northwest Detention Center on May Day evening, which could also turn into a direct action demonstration.
This is shaping up to be the most disruptive weekend and probably year since 2020.
OBSERVATION - Forward Observer folks are noting what appears to be an effort by the extremists to leave more open social media sites and converse on strictly private sites and / or in person are unquieting indicators of a ramping of of planning for acts of violence. Their assessment marks a key change in the potential trend of violence.
May Day is a traditional day of protests and violence by leftists across the world. The marxist left here in America has grown increasingly frustrated at the inability of democrats to effectively stop the Trump juggernaut, and that frustration is shifting more and more towards violence. On an increasing trend come the calls from major democrat leaders like Schumer, Murphy and Pritzker for out and out violence directed towards trump supporters. This may develop into a make or break moment for the violent left. They still haven’t gotten their ‘anchor’ issue to rally the sheeple around. DOGE PR has been pretty successful in educating the masses on the waste and abuse in govt spending. Deportation of illegals hasn’t gathered a lot of support out side of already radicalized individuals. IMHO this is due to the very open arrests and deportation of the gangster level illegals. Cries are trying to shift to the arrests of the two judges - again lacking traction because of the very overt criminal actions of those judges.
It is critical to note the increasing calls for violence by democrat political leaders - listen to what they say because they mean what they say. They are no longer playing word games about it.
In a parallel universe, the sad leftists on sites like Redditt and Instagram are posting calls for more and more violence as well. They may talk big, but not all will put their money where their mouths are. Unfortunately there are those who are nut jobs enough to try something or join the antifa related riots.
FO is not predicting Floyd level riots, except for Antifa hot beds. The big question is whether or not their organizing is enough to give the democrats confidence in being able to release the brown shirts later this summer.

Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025
(FO) In a recent article, legendary former hedge fund manager Ray Dalio said the global monetary and political orders are on the brink of breaking down due to unsustainable, bad fundamentals that can be easily seen and measured.
Dalio says that foreign investors are realizing the U.S. fiscal situation is unsustainable, and “assuming that one can sell and lend to the U.S. and get paid back with hard (i.e. not devalued) dollars on their U.S. debt holdings is naive thinking, so other plans have to be made.”
OBSERVATION - Dalio has been touted as being pretty smart and worth listening to.

Russia -
Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
*****
Wall Street Journal reports Russia is quietly building massive military forces near Europe’s borders, preparing for a future conflict with NATO. New army bases, new troops, new railroads. Russia could be ready for a major war within 5 years.
According to WSJ, Russia is expanding military bases near Finland, Estonia, and Latvia, aiming to station tens of thousands of troops along NATO’s borders.
They’re building new rail lines, upgrading arsenals, and recruiting 30,000–40,000 soldiers per month with large signing bonuses.
Western officials warn Russia could be ready for a major war within 5 years or sooner if Ukraine reaches a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, new Russian tanks and artillery are being stockpiled inside Russia, not sent to Ukraine.
Russia’s military is now larger than when the Ukraine war began.
OBSERVATION - I’m viewing this report with a great deal of skepticism. Recruitment of 30-40K per month is nearly enough to back fill losses per month in Ukraine, so in reality Russia has to be recruiting in the 80K range to fulfill its current war commitment as well as this alleged buildup. There is no real evidence of Russia being successful at this level of conscription.
Russia may be stockpiling new equipment, satisfied with using old, cold war era stocks given the high losses in Ukraine. Still, sanctions and other issues have greatly slowed production of Russia’s war machine.
I just don’t see Russia having the capabilities of doing both under current conditions.
Ukraine –

Nothing really spectacular along the front, moderate fighting with some Russian territorial gains. Drones continue to hit Ukraine civilian targets.
Russia continues its hardline on its demands for as ceasefire and peace accord. Europe mouths support, but Russia still has them scared of retribution
Europe / NATO General –
After effects from yesterday’s power outage in Spain and Portugal are still rippling across the region, and officials claim they don’t have any idea as to the cause. Preliminary reports suggest a failure in the interconnected European power grid, possibly exacerbated by high electricity demand and challenges in balancing renewable energy sources.
In a follow-up statement issued late on April 28, REN suggested that a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” was responsible for triggering the Iberian Peninsula blackout and provided additional technical clarification regarding its potential effects on the grid.
According to REN, rapid and localized temperature fluctuations in Spain’s interior regions generated mechanical instabilities in several critical 400 kV lines, causing a rare form of conductor vibration. These vibrations, identified as a variant of aeolian vibration exacerbated by thermal gradients, led to transient shifts in electrical impedance along multiple transmission corridors.
However, a more likely reason is the development in Spain on April 16th when it declared that its full power grid was to be powered entirely by renewable resources - wind, solar and hydro. Spain suddenly lost a lot of power and it didn’t have conventional power supplies (now mostly natural gas) spun up to buffer any losses. The loss of power generated brown out conditions that triggered the shut down of sections of the power grid. The difficulty in reestablishment of power likely resulted in the lack of conventional power capabilities to take up the missing renewables, which slowly came back on line.
Hence the “rare atmospheric phenomenon” is cover for the failure of the renewable grid Spain has so heavily invested in.
BTW - this grid failure is not unlike one that hit Kalifornia a number of years back, when a sudden cessation of the coastal breezes caused the sudden loss of wind power, and Kalifornian utilities didn’t have back up conventional power spun up in time to stabilize the grid and lacked sufficient capacity for several days, resulting in millions of dollars worth of lost produce and other items.
Pakistan / India – Threat Level - WATCH, April 23, 2025
At this stage, a lot of the information is not confirmed and in some cases fully RUMINT
***
Military movements and actions -
More sporadic gunfire along the border overnight
Pakistan’s Minister of Defense is claiming that a military incursion by India is imminent, with bases and positions being reinforced along the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan states that the country’s military has been placed on “high alert” in anticipation of aggression from India, adding that they will only use their arsenal of nuclear weapons if “there is a direct threat to our existence.”
Political actions -
Unconfirmed - China has granted the access of its spy satellites to Pakistan for monitoring Indian military movement
Indian State-level BJP ministers are supporting the Balochistan liberation movement saying that Pakistan is likely to be split in two again and that the Balochistan movement “stands as a symbol of an indigenous people’s enduring aspiration for dignity, rights, and control over their own destiny.”
If Balochistan is successful, this could actually be a threat to Pakistan’s existence and prompt a nuclear response.
Turkish President Erdogan:
“We reaffirm our strong support for the Pakistani people.”
OVERALL OBSERVATIONS -
No real change from yesterday. The pressure needle is continuing to rise into the red zone, with the likelihood of real fighting by the end of the week, absent any mediations efforts.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Action picking up in Gaza and is expected to rise even further.
- Potential for Israeli involvement in Syria in support of the Druze.

Defense official: Israel is preparing to expand its military operation in Gaza, call-up significant number of reservists - Ynet.
***
Israel is preparing to significantly escalate its military operations in Gaza following the collapse of hostage deal negotiations, a senior defense official said Monday. The move will include a major call-up of reservists and intensified fighting across the Strip.
***
Israeli artillery launches raids in central Gaza, and buildings continue to be bombed along the Morag axis.

The Israeli army says it foiled an attempt to smuggle ten assault rifles into Israel from Egypt last night, using a drone. The drone had been identified crossing the border from Egypt into Israel, before it was downed by troops of the Border Defense Corps’ Caracal Battalion
NOTE - This is why Israel is set on controlling the Philadelphia corridor along the border with Egypt.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed three senior terrorists, the IDF says, including Saʿid Abu Hasnan, who led the Kissufim attack on October 7.
Also killed were Mustafa al-Mutawwak, Hamas operations chief in Jabalia, and Ali Sarfiti, a PFLP operative who funded Judea and Samaria terror plots.
***
Channel 12 in Israel reports that the IDF has begun an operation to clear the area in the northern Gaza Strip. In short, hundreds to thousands of acres are set on fire and the tunnel shafts and terrorists who emerge from them are exposed.
——— SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-
Clashes between Jolani forces and the Druze have begun in Jaramana southeast of Damascus, Syria. HTS convoys were also reportedly advancing toward Suwayda in southern Syria, threatening the Druze community over alleged insults to the “Prophet Muhammad.” Syrian media reports that Jolani forces have sent reinforcements to the Druze city of Jaramana, Syria. Jolani backed forces have pledged to wage Jihad against the Israel backed Druze.
Reports of Israeli aircraft (manned or droned) over the area of fighting.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The Houthi-appointed governor of Saada province, Sheikh Mohammed Jaber Awad, has been eliminated in a U.S. Navy strike.
The USS Truman lost an F14 fighter overboard yesterday. The initial report coming out was that the Truman was forced to take evasive action due to incoming fire from the Houthis. If anyone has seen videos of these carriers executing an emergency turn, they really tilt the ships hard over. Unconfirmed report are that the Houthis used a complex strike package combining ballistic and cruise missiles and drones to force the evasive action. If this is true, then there is a significant hole in the defenses around the carrier.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
Israel is increasing the pressure in Gaza following Hamas rejection recent hostage/peace offers.
Monitoring Houthi after action on the Truman incident. Closest threat to the flattop since operations began. And this follows massive airstrikes.
Most critical item is the current action in S Syria. Fighting is by Jolani supporting militias, and not the ‘formal’ Syrian military. These are the same groups who rampaged across Syrian areas that were home to Assad’s clan. Israel has pledged to defend the Druze in the region as needed because their territory provides a buffer against Jolani’s syria and Israel. At current, it looks like the Syrian military have blocked off access to the region, preventing more of the jihadi oriented militias to join the fighting. If the situation escalates, Israel may begin airstrikes against Jolani affiliated forces.

Iranian Foreign Ministry: Iran is open to the role of Russia, China, and Europe in reaching an agreement with Washington.
Iran has proposed meeting the European parties to a 2015 nuclear deal, possibly in Rome this Friday if talks resume with the United States, four diplomats said on Monday, cautioning that there has yet to be a response from the Europeans to the idea.
Iran’s reach out to Britain, France and Germany, known as the E3, suggests Tehran is keeping its options open, but also wants to assess where the Europeans stand on the possible re-imposition of U.N. sanctions before October, when a resolution ratifying the 2015 accord expires.
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/hygeur6kgl
OBSERVATION - Iran’s move toward’s European involvement is an obvious attempt to create a gap between the US and Europe. It would further delay any substantial talks / accords, meeting Iran’s objectives to delay and obfuscate these negotiations. At this stage, IMHO Trump is not seriously coupled with Europe over his non nuclear stance with Iran and has not issued any calls for support. However, if Iran is able to get favorable positions from European nations, it will bolster its arguments that they are negotiating in faith, defusing any US narrative to the contrary.
Syria -
A Syrian security source: The General Security was not involved in the clashes that took place in the Jaramana area in the Damascus countryside, and attempted to break up the clashes between “irregular groups” in the Jaramana area, which resulted in at least two dead from its forces.
Syrian security sources told Al Jazeera: Six militants were killed and 12 wounded during clashes in Jaramana, in the Damascus countryside.
Roads to Jaramana are currently closed by the Security forces, in order to prevent further escalation after last night clashes

May Day - May 1st
The May Day protest window starts tomorrow. I expect protests to reach their crest by Sat/Sunday. The initial protests, particularly in Antifa safe zones, may essentially be ‘preparation of the battlefield’ kinds of operations, to get the local nut jobs worked up for the larger riots. May Day is typically associated with violent protests to begin with. Still monitoring for more specifics and potential intensities. See previous posting on that.
Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025
Tariffs come into full play today, and global markets are shuddering over potential consequences. For China, impacts may come from a surprising source. As noted perviously, China has cancelled a lot of pork deliveries. This has the consequence of hitting one of the largest meat processors in the US - one held by Chinese companies/interests.
POLITICAL FRONT –

OBSERVATION - Long in coming, but remember, Patel (as many other cabinet members) have a huge pile of globalist trash they have to eliminate and then surround themselves with loyal Americans - THIS TAKES TIME.
I expect polygraphs to move thru other departments, such as Defense and Homeland Security.

Europe / NATO General –
Massive European power outage blamed on solar plant “breakdowns”
The UK was hit by unusual power activity hours in the hours before the massive blackout in Spain.
Control room staff at the National Energy System Operator saw unusual activity on Sunday morning with unexpected power frequency shift.
An outage was recorded at 2am at Keadby 2 gas-fired power plant followed by an unexplained failure of the Viking Link interconnector between the UK and Denmark.
At around 6pm, the frequency shifted unexpectedly again, with the cause still being unknown
OBSERVATION - Solar and wind are unreliable, and Spain in particular took great joy in destroying their coal plants to force the switch to ‘green’ power. Great Britain is on the same transjectory, and yes, portions of the US (Kalifornia and Texas in particular) on doing the same. We are entering an era of electricity shortages when we should have great surpluses.
Pakistan / India – Threat Level - WATCH, April 23, 2025
At this stage, a lot of the information is not confirmed and in some cases fully RUMINT
***
Military movements and actions -
Overnight, fighting broke out between Pakistani and Indian forces in the Pargwal-Akhnoor sector of Jammu & Kashmir.
This is crucial because this new battleground is not located along the Line of Control, but rather on the internationally-recognised border between Pakistan and India.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the Indian military “operational freedom” to respond to the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
PM Modi, during a high level meeting today, said that the Indian Armed Forces have ‘complete operational freedom’ to decide on the mode, targets, and timing of the response.
According to the Pakistani minister of information, Pakistani officials have assessed that India will conduct a “military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours.”
While no specific information and/or intelligence was provided in the statement, Indian decision-makers have reportedly given the Indian armed forces the option to decide on the nature of a response to the Pahalgam attack that sparked this most recent spat between the two nuclear armed powers. Both sides have surged military equipment to border areas in the past week as reports of tit-for-tat clashes between border forces continue.
Pakistani minister chose the term “military strike” and this could allude to the limited nature of potential Indian military actions, as the minister does not seem to be warning about a significant Indian ground operation—something many people have feared due to the buildup by both nations in the past week.
https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1917329512955515003?s=46&t=nfRT-Yioj0xALNzJelzFcA
India TV reports that Pakistan has mobilized its 12th, 19th, and 23rd Infantry Divisions, placing them in forward positions near Jammu and Kashmir. These movements are part of a broader, significant increase in troop deployments along the border with India, reportedly in anticipation of a potential Indian strike.
Reports of heavy armed clashes between Pakistani and Indian forces across the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region.
Political actions -
In response to the terror attack in Kashmir, India began to demolish “illegal mosques”
OVERALL OBSERVATIONS -
We’ll soon see if the Pakistani estimation of when India will strike are correct. We are nearing the 24 hours after the announcement. Time plus deployments to me suggest that the Indian response will be by this weekend.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving the military ‘operational freedom’ also indicates that India’s response in imminent. The largest question is how extensive will this response be? Low end could consist of air and ground incursions targeting terrorist bases in the Pakistani Kashmir. This is reflected by the Pakistani official indicating a “strike” instead of an invasion.
Both sides appear configured in readiness to fight a much larger war that would extend outside of the Kashmir region. Most still have Pakistan as the significant underdog in such a much larger conflict, a scenario that could see Pakistan use of nuclear weapons.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Massive wildfires engulfing parts of Israel.
- Reserve call ups in progress
- Israel warns Syria to back off from the Druze community.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
IDF notifies thousands of reservists for upcoming call-up as Israel plans to intensify Gaza operations; reserves to replace northern brigades being moved to Gaza, Kan News reports.
Massive wildfires driven by exceptionally strong winds have battered Israel today, sparking significant evacuations in the Jerusalem region. No word yet on causes, but probably is human caused - possibly even terrorist arson.
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
IAF and artillery have hit Hamas targets throughout the territory
——— SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-
Overnight, Jolani-backed Islamists attempted to break through Druze cities on the outskirts of Damascus, claiming a Druze member insulted prophet Muhammad.
The head of the Druze community in the land of Sheikh Mofaq Tarif: “Calls on Israel to act immediately to prevent mass massacres in the Druze communities around Damascus”
Syrian government spokesman Muhammad al-Faisal released footage showing regime security reinforcements en route to the town of Sahnaya, in the Damascus suburbs, to restore order.
Syrian reported an Israeli drone attack in the Jarmana area (Druze area) in eastern Damascus. Reports of a second IDF attack in the town of Sakhaniya in the suburbs of Damascus. Report of casualties among the Syrian regime’s security forces
Netanyahu and Katz issue a statement: The army carried out a warning operation and attacked an extremist group that was preparing to attack the Druze in Sahnaya, Syria.
We sent a message to the Syrian regime that Israel expects it to act to prevent harm to the Druze.
Netanyahu:
“Israel will not allow attacks against the Druze community in Syria, out of deep commitment to our Druze brothers in Israel, who share strong historical and familial ties with their Druze brethren in Syria.”
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The U.K. Ministry of Defense has announced that British Forces participated in a joint operation Tuesday alongside U.S. Forces, against a military target of the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group in Western Yemen. The operation, which involved Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4 Multirole Fighters supported by Voyager Aerial-Refueling Tankers from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, reportedly targeted a cluster of buildings, used by the Houthis to manufacture drones of the type used to attack ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, using several Paveway IV Laser-Guided 500lb Bombs.
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
The situation in S Syria for now seems to be settling down as Jolani govt forces are entering the region to stop radical militias attempt to attack the Druze community. The govt forces are not in any shape to go toe to toe with Israel, nor do they want the Gaza treatment on Damascus. The actions by these militant Jolani supporting militias go to justify Israel’s occupation in Syria as they could become another Hamas - equivalent force that would involve a more significant operation in the future.
The Druze are not total weaklings, and have bloodied these militias pretty well. However, they are outnumbered and the islamists supporting Jolani have AQ/ ISIS roots.
Israel is moving towards a massive invasion into remaining areas of Gaza. It will take at least a couple of weeks for these reserves to fall in on their equipment, assemble and get their plans together. Means the clock is ticking down for Hamas in Gaza.
