Will the world see the Light next week, or willingly turn to deeper darkness?
Wuhan Virus -
Advocate Condell Medical Center, Libertyville IL, stopped wuhan vaccinations when 4 of the medical staff started having adverse reactions to the vaccine. FDA is now investigating other reactions in Alaska.
A new strain of the wuhan virus is capable of spreading faster and easier than earlier ones. Currently in Britain, but now showing signs of being in other countries (South Africa). PM Johnson has imposed a full lockdown on London and Southeast England as a result. Italy has imposed a new lockdown as well. The Netherlands and Belgium on Sunday banned flights from the U.K. and Germany considered limiting such flights in attempt to ensure that a new strain of coronavirus sweeping across southern England does not establish a strong foothold on the continent.
Unknown if the current ‘vaccines’ will have an effect on this new strain.

Meat packers across North America are bracing for a resurgence of coronavirus cases, trying to avoid the shutdowns that left supermarket shelves empty earlier in the pandemic. Since the wuhan hit, meat packers have adjusted and created more resilient systems to meet demands. If the packers get hit hard, we will see if this claim is true.
It appears the Senate has reached an agreement on a $900 Billion simulus after coming to some sort of agreement on how the Fed can use the CARE Act on their own. It sounds like that now the Fed needs congressional approval to continue market driving corporate bond buying in 2021.
2020 Election-
Key dates - House of Representatives officially counts electoral votes on Jan. 6. Inauguration is Jan 20.
There is a growing number of Senators readying to challenge the Electoral College, in opposition to McConnell’s edict not to.
With all the talk about using martial law to force either recounts or re-voting in swing stated, the DoD issued a statement saying that they will not be involved in any such operation - that doing so would be extra constitutional. In part that is true, about the only way they would be involved in something is the institution of the Insurrection Act, but even then much of their involvement would be limited.
An option being floated is the declaration of a national emergency (possibly bolstered by the recent discovery of a massive cyberattack) stating the election was corrupted and the president taking very active steps to arrest/confescate election officials and materials. That would trigger a violent response by the left (courts will try to delay, but the ball would be rolling) and the Insurrection Act could come into play. However, as when BLM/Antifa rioters threatened to storm the WH and the DoD was openly reluctant to defend the WH under the act, there may be serious challenges by the military leadership. That may cause some serious issues among the ranks.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
10 years ago the “arab spring” uprisings began, throwing much of the middle east into greater turmoil, much of which is still reverberating today. Those on the left here in America threatened their version if Trump won a second term. Those discussions have ceased with the election steal of Biden (unless lightning strikes soon to turn the events around). Now there are those on the right starting to talk about a patriot version of the “spring” should biden get placed into the WH.

Taiwan -
Taiwan’s staging of a live-fire drill in the Pratas Islands on Sunday has highlighted the chain’s strategic importance and potential to be a flashpoint in the South China Sea, analysts said. According to Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration, which 20 years ago took over the Taiwanese military’s role of safeguarding the islands, the exercise is part of its annual training program there, and will consist of two live-fire drills, one on Sunday and the other seven days later. In May, Japan’s Kyodo News reported that the PLA was planning to conduct a large-scale training exercise on the southern Chinese island of Hainan in August that would include simulating taking the Pratas islets. “In capturing the Pratas Islands, China could kill several birds with one stone,” he said. “For instance, success could serve to consolidate [Chinese President] Xi’s grip on the Chinese Communist Party. As such, the [Pratas] is a potential flashpoint that now needs to come to the attention of the US, Japan and other democratic countries.”
Israel -
