Globalism / Great Reset –
Another ‘Conspiracy theory’ proven true
A federal judge allows case against BlackRock for “buying up coal companies just to shut them down and force green energy initiatives, all while jacking up prices and pushing ESG policies”
And it goes so much deeper
“Based off this court ruling in Texas today of the State of Texas vs BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street, I am onto something. Let me break it down for you.
BlackRock, Vanguard and State street just lost a major court ruling today in federal court and a federal judge in Texas agreed that they can be sued. The lawsuit says that they formed an investment cartel to control U. S Energy markets. They allegedly bought up coal companies just to shut them down and force green energy initiatives, all while jacking up prices and pushing ESG policies that nobody voted for. If you don’t know what an ESG policy is, it’s environmental, social and governance.

OBSERVATION - These investment ‘firms’ are doing the evil work of the globalist behind the scenes. With ooodles of money, they’ve been purchasing their way into enacting the agenda. Also noted in the recent housing crush - buying houses to flip into rentals.
Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics
Canada’s liberal government is advancing plans to roll out a new Covid mRNA “vaccine” to “vaccinate” the general public using aerosols.
The Canadian government is ramping up testing for a disturbing new Covid mRNA “AeroVax.”
The new AeroVax seeks to overcome “vaccine hesitancy” by using aerosols to “vaccinate” the general public.
Unlike traditional “vaccines” that are deployed using injections, the new AeroVax is an atomized spray that is inhaled.
The new “vaccines” are sprayed in aerosol form and breathed in by recipients.
The AeroVax was developed by researchers at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded McMaster University in Canada.
https://slaynews.com/news/canada-advances-plan-vaccinate-public-covid-mrna-aerosols/
OBSERVATION - Again, forced ‘vaccination’ on the populous. There is a great deal of evil in Gates funding alone, let alone Canada’s great leftist push.
POLITICAL FRONT –
The Supreme Court is considering banning “Racially-Based” Congressional District maps, as it violates the Civil Rights laws of the USA.
This could cause Democrats to lose 10-25 House seats in 2026 midterm elections.
***
Attorney General Pam Bondi directed Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors to begin a criminal investigation into allegations that former national security officials conspired to undermine President Donald Trump’s administration in 2017. The location of the grand jury to be used by the DOJ has not been released, and the DOJ did not comment.
Latest info indicates that the Grand Jury would be in Florida
OBSERVATION - Definitely moving forward.
Illegal Immigration –
(FO) According to an alleged Department of Homeland Security (DHS) internal memo, DHS and the Department of Defense (DOD) held a meeting on 21 July to discuss increasing cooperation for immigration enforcement in “future L.A.-type operations” in the United States.
OBSERVATION - Placing this here as it has to do with decoration operations, but it indicates straying over into CW2 realm recognizing that the left can locally rally troops to attack ICE and military support planning is necessary on the front end, not in a response mode.
Russia -
Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
*****
NUCLEAR THREATS –
Russia no longer considers itself bound by moratorium on deployment of intermediate- and shorter-range land-based missiles, - Russian Foreign Ministry
OBSERVATION - Russia has been dropping nuclear related agreements with increasing actions. This is likely a Russian response to US boomer relocations.
Economic Impact –
India’s Foreign Ministry has responded to accusations over Russian oil purchases, stating that India has become a target for the US and EU. The ministry called Russian oil imports a “vital national need” and pointed to ongoing trade between the West and Russia. India highlighted that EU-Russia trade in 2024 totaled €67.5 billion in goods and €17.2 billion in services in 2023, far exceeding India’s trade with Russia.
OBSERVATION - Some Indian oil companies have sought to purchase oil from other sources in an effort by those companies to avoid tariffs and other sanctions. I think India will essentially buckle.
Ukraine –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025
WEATHER FORECAST – Rain early week, with temps going back to the 50-80 range
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Overnight on August 5, Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 29 out of 46 Russian Shahed drones and decoys launched from several directions, as well as repelling an Iskander-M ballistic missile from Bryansk. Drone hits were recorded in the east, along with missile and debris impacts at several locations.
Russia launched its most massive attack on Lozova, Kharkiv region, since the start of the war. One man was killed and at least 10 people, including two children, were wounded. The city’s railway infrastructure, train station, apartment buildings, and residential areas were all hit.
Russian losses per 05/08/25 reported by the Ukrainian general staff.
+1120 men
+2 tanks
+12 AFVs
+28 artillery
Ballistic missile strike was reported in Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky district of Kherson region
Russian Ministry of Defense claims full occupation of Sichneve village of Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine
Summary —
The daily grind continues on the front lines and in the air.
Moldova/Transnistria -
Governor of Gagauzia in Moldova, Evghenia Guțul, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for illegal campaign financing linked to the banned pro-Russian “Shor” party during the 2023 election. Prosecutors had requested a nine-year sentence, and Guțul was charged under four articles related to election funding violations.
With elections coming up, the next few months are crucial for Moldova’s EU ascension aspirations.
OBSERVATION - Off the radar for a while as Russia attempted to stir up issues to deflect European attentions from Ukraine.
Poland –
Germany has deployed its Eurofighter jets to Poland ahead of the planned Russian-Belarusian “Zapad 2025” exercises, according to Bild. The jets are now based east of Warsaw and will begin missions today. The German Air Force calls this a clear sign of NATO solidarity for reliable deterrence and joint airspace defense.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Netanyahu and cabinet decide to go with the annexation of all Gaza.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
The Prime Minister’s Office briefed this evening that a decision has been made by the PM for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip, including operations in areas where hostages are held, and conveyed a message to the Chief of Staff: if this does not suit him, you should resign
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
Israel’s Channel 12 broadcaster is reporting that the Israeli government has made the decision to occupy the Gaza Strip on a permanent basis.
Correspondent Amit Segal reports Monday, “Senior official in Netanyahu’s office: The decision has been made — we’re going to occupy Gaza.”
The top official has been further quoted as saying: “If we do not act now, hostages will die of starvation and Gaza will remain under Hamas control.”
https://thelibertydaily.com/netanyahu-opts-permanent-military-occupation-gaza/
OBSERVATION - Trump is supportive of this plan.
***
IDF forces continue their operations in the Gaza Strip under the direction of the Shin Bet and Military Intelligence.
The 36th Division eliminated terrorists in the south, while the air force attacked 30+ targets, including buildings used by Hamxs.
The 188th Brigade destroyed a building hiding an underground mine. In the north, the Givati Brigade destroyed weapons and tunnels in Beit Hanoun, and the 99th Division is searching for and destroying terrorist infrastructure
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
A missile from Yemen was intercepted by Israeli army overnight
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
Another shift in the war plan for Gaza. Gideon’s Chariot was designed to place increased pressure on Hamas - it was working, however, their international supporters generated the fabricated starvation narrative and forced the breaks on it. I noted yesterday that I think Hamas overplayed its hand after releasing the videos of the abused and starving hostage. Not a good PR ploy, directed to insult Israel. International cries of famine still echo, but now they are tempered with evidence that the pushback by Israel is not what they expected.
Israel now plans to directly assault on the ground, remaining Hamas strongholds, avoided so far because of the concentration of hostages. The emaciated hostage shows that Hamas is going to kill rhe remainder of living no matter what. Israel sees this now at the time to go for broke.
Lebanon -
Hezbollah decides to escalate against an expected decision to hand over its weapons, starting with popular protests.
Reports in Lebanon that Hezbollah is preparing to ignite widespread riots across the country if the proposal to disarm the organization passes tomorrow in the Lebanese government meeting.
OBSERVATION - Much of the population is not shia but a mixture of other ethnic and religious groups and have generally been oppressed by Hezbollah’sdomination of many factors of the country. Today’s vote could be critical to the path forward without Hezbollah.
Aerosol vax. More depopulation / murder. Thanks Godzilla.
Isn't that the DEI version environmental 'care index type funds'? If Vanguard was doing this - against the wishes of their investors ( or unknown to them) as a group I wonder what else they were up to... talk about thumb on the scales. Sick - and I'm a Vanguard invester...
Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025
Errors in employment estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BSL) have been four times greater in recent months they were in previous years, BLS historical data reveal.
On Friday, after the BLS announced it had revised its employment estimates for May and June down by more than a quarter million jobs (258,000 lower combined), President Donald Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer.
McEntarfer, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden and confirmed in January of 2024, had a “history of inaccuracies and incompetence” and had “completely eroded public trust in the government agency charged with disseminating key data used by policymakers and businesses to make consequential decisions,” the White House explained in a statement regarding Entarfer’s dismissal:
OBSERVATIONS - Numbers like these have always been high questionable. Started in earnest back under Clinton IIRC and not only involved jobs but inflation data cooking as well. It got to be standard fare to expect significant re adjustments in the month’s following. While some may view as killing the messenger, real reform and transparency is necessary for these reports.
POLITICAL FRONT –
The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, and a host of other high-profile Democrats seeking to compel testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued additional subpoenas to former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller.
OBSERVATION - Paybacks now hitting home to democrats.
***
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton set a Friday deadline for Democratic state lawmakers to return to work in the Legislature or else face removal from office.
Mr. Paxton said he’ll ask a court to declare vacant the seats of every House Democrat who fled the state earlier this week in a bid to block a GOP plan to redraw congressional district lines.
The GOP-led Texas House voted Monday to issue civil arrest warrants for the missing Democrats. Sen. John Cornyn asked the FBI to help track down the lawmakers and carry out the arrests. He wants the FBI to investigate potential bribery.
https://www.independentsentinel.com/tx-dems-on-the-lam-have-3-days-to-return-or-lose-their-jobs/
TX Attorney General Ken Paxton will file to VACATE Democrat seats if they do not return to vote by the Speaker’s Friday deadline
“Starting Friday, any rogue lawmakers refusing to return to the House will be held accountable for vacating their office,” Paxton said
TX House Speaker Burrows gave members until Friday, August 8 to return.
OBSERVATION - The session ends in two weeks. Two democrats have returned, only need six more for quorum.
RELATED -
The New York State Senate introduced a state constitutional amendment that would allow New York to redraw congressional districts before the 2030 census, if another state conducts mid-decade redistricting first.
OBSERVATIONS - Highly doubtful NY could get a redistricting done prior to the 26 midterms.
Democrats are also facing efforts to eliminate the counts of Illegals for redistricting purposes. This will force states like Kalifornia, etc to LOSE seats due to lowered population.
***
Fox News host Laura Ingraham reported Tuesday that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland is investigating Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud.
The probe follows a month-old revelation that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) had referred Schiff’s case to the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing him of falsifying bank documents and property records to secure more favorable loan terms, according to Fox News.
Schiff and his wife allegedly misrepresented their Maryland home as their primary residence to obtain a lower interest rate on a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage, according to the FHFA’s letter. They allegedly continued this misrepresentation through multiple refinancing transactions from 2003 to 2019, despite Schiff representing California in Congress during that period.
https://patriot.tv/adam-schiff-under-federal-criminal-investigation-for-mortgage-fraud/
OBSERVATION - No one is above the law. Democrats are particularly fond of these kinds of schemes. If new reports, information available in the open arena have Schiff down cold.
***
President Donald Trump expanded on his proposal for a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., saying he will stop violent crime in the city by young ‘thugs.’
The president said that a young man who was working for DOGE was ‘very badly hurt’ and ‘beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C.’
The identity of the 19-year-old young man involved in the reported incident is Edward Coristine, famously nicknamed ‘Big Balls’ by his peers.
‘My friend Big Balls is a hero,’ wrote Coristine’s friend Marko Elez on X, who said he ‘took this photo after Edward protected a young woman from an attempted carjacking by 8 thugs near Dupont Circle.’
‘Violence like this in the heart of DC is completely unacceptable,’ Elez concluded.
OBSERVATION - Lawlessness in the nation’s capitol is a national disgrace and the willingness of the leftists in charge of the DC police to allow it and essentially condone it have made it far over due for their replacement.
China -
China’s biggest solar firms fired nearly one-third of their workforces last year, a Reuters analysis of company filings shows, as one of the industries hand-picked by Beijing to drive economic growth grapples with falling prices and steep losses. Longi Green Energy, Trina Solar, Jinko Solar, JA Solar, and Tongwei collectively shed some 87,000 staff, or 31% of their workforces on average last year, according to a Reuters review of employment figures in public filings.
The job cuts illustrate the pain from the vicious price wars being fought across Chinese industries, including solar and electric vehicles, as China grapples with massive overcapacity and dismal demand (which has prompted China to dump its exports into any country that will accept them). As a frame of reference, the world produces twice as many solar panels each year as it uses, with most of them manufactured in China.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-solar-industry-quietly-fired-third-its-workers
OBSERVATION - Economic woes continue for China. Other sectors have been quietly downsizing as well.
***
(FO) Taiwan’s state media reports that the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) has quietly been intruding on Taiwanese waters in the outlying islands “on a near-monthly basis.” The latest occurred yesterday when the CCG sent four vessels near Kinmen with their Automatic Identification System (AIS) off but were turned away by the Taiwanese Coast Guard Authority (CGA). Kinmen is an outlying island for the Republic of China – Taiwan – and is separated from mainland China by only a small channel on three sides.
OBSERVATION - Moves by China to tire and stretch thin Taiwanese defenses. In the event of a move on Taiwan, Kinmen will likely received and amphibious assault while the rest of Chinese naval power will attempt to blockade Taiwan.
Russia -
Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
*****
Putin received US President’s special envoy Steven Witkoff in the Kremlin
***
According to Bloomberg, Russia is considering an “air truce” with Ukraine, ending its campaign of long-range drone and missile strikes against cities throughout Ukraine, as a potential concession to U.S. President Donald J. Trump and to prevent him from imposing major sanctions against Russia after his Friday “deadline” of August 8th. Officials believe that the possibility of such a truce is unlikely, as Russia currently has no plans of ending its ongoing war against Ukraine, with Trump expected to present Russian President Vladimir Putin with “one last chance” to begin serious negotiations to end his invasion of Ukraine during a meeting this week in Moscow with his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1952838286898282957?s=46&t=nfRT-Yioj0xALNzJelzFcA
OBSERVATION - Putin sees the tactics of Iran and Hamas on the US and hope its delay tactics will work as well.
***
Follow up -
Last week’s widely reported underwater earthquake off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula (on July 30) resulted in a tsunami which appears to have impacted the Rybachiy naval base, newly published satellite images show.
International reports say that when the earthquake struck, two Yasen-class nuclear-powered attack submarines were observed docked at the base – and in the path of the tsunami; however, there’s as yet no evidence of damage to the vessels themselves.
Crucially the Rybachiy base is Russia’s primary hub for nuclear submarines in the Pacific, and so was bound to feel some level of impact from an earthquake measuring 8.8 in magnitude which erupted just 140km away.
. . . . . some of the base infrastructure has been observed as suffering damage, according to satellite imagery analysis featured in The Telegraph.
“A section of one pier has bent away from its original position, possibly indicating that it was detached from its moorings, images taken by the Umbra Space satellite on Thursday morning have revealed,” the report says.
Ukraine –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025
WEATHER FORECAST – Rain early week, with temps going back to the 50-80 range
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Air defenses neutralized 36 out of 45 drones launched at Ukraine overnight. There were strikes at three locations, with debris falling at another sites.
Russian losses per 06/08/25 reported by the Ukrainian general staff.
+1010 men
+1 tank
+52 artillery
+3 MLRS
Ukraine drones attacked Tatsinskaya station in Rostov region once again
Summary —
The daily grind continues on the front lines and in the air.
Witkoff’s meetings with putin today are unlikely to bring about any breakthroughs. More likely warning (again) to putin on sanctions and tariffs that could throw big wrenches into the cogs of his war machine. Doubt seriously putin takes any of this with concerns.
Belarus -
The first echelon with Russian military personnel and equipment arrived in the Republic of Belarus for preparation and further participation in the joint strategic exercise of the armed forces of Belarus and Russia “West-2025”
OBSERVATION - There is currently no threat that Russia forces will use this exercise to mass and invasion force to strike toward Kyiv again.
Poland –
Nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki took the oath of office as Poland’s new president on Wednesday.
Nawrocki, a political novice, led a narrow victory in the June election, in which he had the backing of US President Donald Trump.
The prime minister in Poland has most day-to-day power, but the president has power to initiate or veto laws and influence foreign policy.
Nawrocki vowed to be the voice of Poles who want the country to retain its sovereignty as part of the European Union.
He said he opposed illegal migration and joining the euro single currency, and called for revamping the Polish constitution.
OBSERVATION - His election is due to set off a confrontation with the liberal Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
ISRAEL –
Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025
Key overnight developments -
- Israel moving toward total occupation of Gaza
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Israel evacuated its embassy staff in the Greek capital, Athens, due to mounting anti-Israel protests in the country The move was carried out following demonstrations opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, according to media reports
***
United Nations says 89% of their Gaza aid trucks have been looted since May.
——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————
IDF issued two abandonment and leave orders in areas of Central Gaza, warning civilians on increased military operations.
——— JUDEA AND SAMARIA——————————-
30 Palestinians arrested during raids in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, early today.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Egyptian President El-Sisi: “The war in Gaza is no longer a war to achieve political goals or to free the hostages, but has turned into a war of starvation, genocide, and elimination of the Palestinian issue. The situation in Gaza is being used as a political bargaining chip. We are issuing a call to global public opinion that the situation in the Gaza Strip is being used as a political bargaining chip.”
——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-
Time will tell if Israel finally drops the other shoe and takes the whole of Gaza away. Some of the wind opposing Israel - the false ‘famine’ game - seems to have lost some of its fury with revelations of Hamas treatment of hostages and UN data showing 87% of the aid trucks being hijacked by Hamas.
Iran –
Threat Level - ADVISORY July 17, 2025
Reports of several explosions and air-defense activity at a ballistic missile launch site operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) near Shiraz in Southern Iran. IRGC-affiliated channels claimed that unknown aircraft, possibly drones, were spotted earlier over the Fars Province.
OBSERVATION - There are plenty of unconventional warfare elements in Iran. Some are Israeli, others are affiliated with the son of the shah. Others representing other alienated elements of Iran. Still, the reports of drones, suggests more Israeli involvement than any.
Lebanon -
Israeli army: Hezbollah operative Hussam Qassem killed in airstrike in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley yesterday
***
Hezbollah Secretary General: We will launch rockets at Israel if it returns to war in Lebanon
***
Lebanon’s cabinet on Tuesday tasked the army with formulating a plan for disarming the Hezbollah terrorist organization by the end of 2025, AFP reported.
The cabinet met for nearly six hours under President Joseph Aoun. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam confirmed that the army has been instructed to devise an implementation strategy to ensure that weapons are restricted solely to state security forces.
“The plan is to be presented to the cabinet by the end of August for discussion and approval,” Salam stated during a press conference.
In recent months, Hezbollah’s influence has visibly eroded. Israeli strikes have significantly degraded the group’s capabilities, and much of its senior leadership has been eliminated.
The international community has made it clear that further aid to Lebanon hinges on the disarmament of Hezbollah and the consolidation of state authority. President Aoun recently reiterated that Lebanon is “committed to removing weapons from all armed groups including Hezbollah.”
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/412816
OBSERVATION - Gradual progress. If Lebanon is to rid itself of Hezbollah, they need to get on it as Hezbollah will only try to regrow itself as quickly as possible.
Egypt –
