This is pretty much it, gloves either come off, or our country better get ready to slide down the fast slope to communist banana republic.

Wuhan Virus -
Ongoing negative reactions to the vaccines out there continue to come up. Concerns have caused large segments of health providers to turn down the vaccine.

Economy -
Continued mixed signals for 2021. However, the overwhelming sense is that with a biden administration the economy is likely to crater as they remove the incentives used by Trump to grow the economy.

2020 Election-
Again, warning that there is a lot of disinformation and misinformation on the interwebs/social media. A lot of big claims being made - please verify from independent sources first.

All eyes are on congress and Vice President Mike Pence who will make a decision today that will define not only his ‘legacy’ but the future of this country. Associated with this congressional session - Pennsylvania Senate has requested VP Pence to direct a 10 day delay to investigate vote fraud that has been exposed before the congress certifies the EC count.

In anticipation of electoral challenges, Pelosi named four lawmakers to serve as the Democratic leaders in the House ahead of the expected debate Wednesday over the Electoral College results. Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues that Reps. Zoe Lofgren (Calif.), Jamie Raskin (Md.), Adam Schiff (Calif.) and Joe Neguse (Colo.) will lead House Democrat responses.

Republican control of the Senate is on life support. Loffler has lost her bid to an absolute scumbag. Overnight there have been many instances of suspected vote fraud but IMHO, much of this loss was self inflicted by the GA Republican Gov and SoS. Decision desk has called both races for the democrats, creating a 50/50 senate where the president of the senate provides the tie breaker - under biden this would be vp harris.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Stashes of bricks, 2x4 and propane tanks (?) allegedly around Freedom Plaza, though some posted photos are from earlier protests. (BLM/Antifa probably forgot that they weren’t fighting the police this time - who wouldn’t use such items, but Patriots who can and WOULD use them against the leftists). Watch your six today! Michael Yon is predicting that violence today is a near certainty. Hard to argue against that.

Last night Pro-Trump supporters took to the streets in an adhoc march of support. BLM/Antifa stayed in the shadows pretty much. Many rumors that Apple shut down the ability to use its map app in the city.

Monday, approximately 15 antifascists and Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists from ShutDownDC assembled at Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) home in northern Virginia last night to demand he drop his contestation of the 2020 election. In a video posted to YouTube, about a dozen activists approached the home and protested from the street. Protests outside the homes of members of Congress and vandalism is a continuing trend. These are currently soft targets and in many areas ruled by blue, civil authorities are lax in protecting them.

Kenosha, Wisconsin - No police officer will be prosecuted in the shooting of Jacob Blake in August 2020. Police and city have enacted measures to try to maintain order. In related, patriot Kyle Rittenhouse has plead Not Guilty to all charges.

Threat observers note Anarchist bloggers are looking to push out from their historic bases like the Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, NYC, etc and establish a stronger presence in smaller cities. They reportedly recognize that their base areas are susceptible to isolation. Their challenge is that smaller cities are more or less in red territory and overcoming red opposition would be very challenging. Intelligencer observers note that historically, Maoist/Anarchist insurgencies have to expand from larger cities to grow stronger. But those situations will face a lot of challenge from the right as the culture of smaller towns are more conservative and it is harder to hide than larger cities. If the BLM/Antifa push out, I expect that they will focus on areas surrounding their power base such as observed last year first.

Domestic Terror -
The FBI is investigating the breach of an air traffic control system after someone broadcast a threat to fly a plane into the US Capitol building on Wednesday as revenge for the killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, according to a source familiar with the probe. Some sources in law enforcement are saying the threat is not credible.

China -
Hong Kong police have arrested dozens of pro-democracy politicians in one of the biggest purges of opposition figures since Beijing imposed a tough new national security law on the city last year. CCP boot is coming down hard on the rights of HK. Now any vote against government policy is considered subversion.

Increasing concerns that China will attempt to seize Taiwan and portions of N India this year under biden. Xi has called for the military to be ready at a moments notice.

Iran -
South Korea will send a delegation to negotiate the release of a ship and its 20-member crew after the vessel was seized by Iranian forces. Iran claims the vessel had violated environmental protocols and was polluting the sea. The real reason is SK is holding 7 Billion in of frozen revenues from oil sales.

I normally try maintain a positive outlook here, it is very easy to become pessimistic when examining the trends and transjectories of current events. I can’t maintain that level today, we have entered the dark ages of America. I think the following FR post is a good first cut at what to expect in the next few years in America -

Globalism / Great Reset -
Biden’s enthronement is a big step forward for the globalist agenda he is on record supporting.

Economy -
Private payrolls in December unexpectedly declined for the first time since April, according to a report Wednesday from payroll processing company ADP. The company, which estimates employment each month prior to the release of the government’s official payroll estimate on the first Friday of each month, said private payrolls fell by 123,000 in December.

U.S. soybean future prices are on the rise amid continued Chinese demand and concerns of tight global supplies, putting markets in a “rationing” mode, according to a Cargill executive. This has been driven by a drought in Argentina which just this week to cut its production forecast by 1 million metric tons, down to 50 million tons. Global famine has been warned since summer due to storms and plagues hitting producing areas of the world.

2020 Election-
Free and fair elections are now a thing of the past. Congress confirmed the fraudulent electoral results. Biden will be sworn in as president on the 20th barring any significant changes. See CW2 for more. The bottom line - the entrance into the capitol gave the left and spineless republicans all the justification to cease the presentation of ANY fraud and to have it on record.

Trump, via another’s twitter account (his twitter days are numbered) as stated there will be a transition of power though he still refuses to concede the election results. Reports of considerable numbers of administration resignations to hit the new today.

Democrats won both senate seats in Georgia - giving them a 51/50 slim majority in the senate and control of both houses of congress and presidency. God help our country.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
The Stop the Steal Rally started grand and ended in a disaster, politically and optically. The dust is continuing to settle but here is the best summary of the many sources I have been following.
1. At the very least, agent provocateurs initiated the entrance of the Capitol building. Photographic evidence and analysis shows many linked to BLM/Antifa protest/riots. Their actions also encouraged impassioned and angry patriots to move in as well. Levels of ‘destruction’ are, of course, being overstated by the MSM as numerous videos and photos showing the vast majority of the patriots who entered the capitol doing so in a peaceful manner, thanking police and even taking selfies with them.
2. The level of security at the capitol was embarrassing lax. No QRF on station or similar.
3. An USAF vet of 14 years was essential murdered by a blind shot through a window by capitol police or SS. Ashli Babbit may well become know as the first casualty of CW2. Three other deaths were because of “medical emergencies”.
4. 52 were arrested, and 5 guns seized. Of the 52 arrests, 47 were due to violations of the curfew that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser set on Wednesday.
5. A pipe bomb was found and deactivated at the RNC headquarters in DC. The DNC HQ was also evacuated.
6. Media has jumped all over this, repeating the story that essentially any gathering at any state capitol was an assault on that building. Rallies were held in at least 17 states.
7. The left now feels even more justified in taking a more aggressive stance against Trump and supporters. They are taking actions within congress for the censure and expulsion of the senators and representatives who opposed the EC vote. They have inflated the charges to that of supporting domestic terrorism. Forget about “unity”.
8. Articles of Impeachment as well as 25th amendment efforts were put on afterburners to force the removal of Trump prior to Jan 20th.
9. BLM/Antifa infiltrated as warned (see #1), but I wasn’t expecting the breach of the capitol. I was focusing on physical assaults on Trump supporters following the rally (their MO for the past 5-6 years). The fact that BLM/Antifa instigated #1 shows a great deal of savvy politically and planning at a higher level.

MY OBSERVATION - The left feels more empowered to be even more aggressive towards Trump and the right. Accused of supporting domestic terrorism (ignore the left’s hypocrisy for the moment) they believe they can act an we will be seeing Trump purges in the future. I can see this going as far as using the Patriot Act to shut down any leadership or organizational activity for political opposition to Biden. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the left’s hatred of Trump and the right. Even under 0bama they bragged about databases on the right. Now they’ve bragged about using open source info to locate Trump donors, having spread sheets with donor, supporter and administration officials that could be targeted by many means. This will only escalate potential violence as now the gloves will come off. The left may also start applying the Patriot Act against Patriots. AN IMPORTANT LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED. THE LEFTISTS IN CONGRESS AND THEIR REPUBLICAN QUISLINGS HAVE DECLARED WAR AGAINST 80 MILLION PLUS AMERICANS. We see who are patriots and who are spineless grub worms in DC. But then we knew it all along, but this just broke open the stump and exposed them to daylight.

If Trump is removed from office prior to Jan 20, anger will potentially increase among supporters. The left has drawn first blood in this heating up affair.

Expect also a slew of laws similar to the Intolerable Acts of the revolutionary war, “laws” passed that were meant to punish MA colonists following the Tea Party protest. Demonstrably, the left has done this already, but expect even more now that they control government.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
Two B52s did an overflight of the Persian Gulf region overnight.

China -
Chinese jets made a record 380 incursions into Taiwan’s defense zone last year, a defense official said Tuesday, as a military-linked think-tank warned tensions were now at their highest since the mid-1990s.
I now expect some kind of military operations against Taiwan by the end of the year now that US deterrence will be removed under Biden.

Israel -
Sudan signed the Abraham Accords, officially agreeing to peace and normalization with Israel, on Wednesday. Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari signed the document with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin present. Mnuchin continued to Israel for “important meetings,” as he characterized them on Twitter.
