Short of another wild change in global events, there will be no summary tomorrow, Tuesday.
Wuhan virus -
The actual ground zero for wuhan will never be conclusive determined since there is too much at stake for China. There has been and will continue to be evidence brought out indicating the virus came out of the wuhan lab at a minimum. Now that the initial ‘crisis’ has passed, more information is leaking out. WSJ is reporting that three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the wuhan virus may have escaped from the laboratory. While this may not be the smoking gun, it is another layer of evidence pointing to the wuhan lab as the source.
Another that has too much at stake in the wuhan lab is Fauci, who has flipped flopped again and indicates that in an interview with politifact, he isn’t convinced the virus developed ’naturally’. Charges continue over his under the table funding of the wuhan lab to bypass US law in pathogen research.
Indian medical authorities are pondering if the wuhan ‘vaccine’ created the 750% increase in cases. Major hot spots had significant vaccination drives with the virus infections skyrocketing shortly there after.
China has officially reported wuhan outbreaks in their Southern Coastal Province Guangdong as well as in the northeastern province of Liaoning.
Seeing increased hype about the need for a booster shot this fall. Executives of both Pfizer and Moderna say that booster shots to remain protected against the virus are very likely to be needed, and that the first boosters could be needed this fall, according to Axios. “The data that I see coming, they are supporting the notion that likely there will be a need for a booster somewhere between eight and 12 months,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said.
OBSERVATION - The pressure to get the basic ‘vaccination’ increases, chances are much of the nation will not be ‘vaccinated’ when these boosters are released.

Globalism / Great Reset -
World Economic Forum indicated in a tweet last week that was later pulled and modified that it supports employees being forced to choose between taking one of the four controversial Covid vaccines, or unemployment if they choose to not take the vaccine. It was removed and modified after a lot of backlash. The original tweet said - “Get your COVID-19 jab – or you could face consequences from your employer #COVID19 #JobsReset21,” It was changed to “Survey: Will employees be required to get the COVID-19 vaccination? #COVID19 #JobsReset21“. Both accompanied a graphic showcasing the purported poll numbers of companies that would fire employees for not taking the vaccine.
In July 2020, the Rockefeller Foundation released a paper entitled ‘Reset the Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System’. This outlines their wide-ranging plans for the global food system; from farm to mouth they have a plan to ‘Reset the table’ This “reset” plans on -
1. To Integrate the ‘food system’ under one political aegis
2. To Collectivise and centralise control of the supply of food
3. To engender ‘Prosperity’ – i.e. to enrich the stakeholders
OBSERVATION - Nearly one year old report but important in the light of the damage to global food production over the last year due to a combination of natural disasters and wuhan shutdowns. As I’ve noted previously, here in the US grain production is way down and now reports that rice production will essentially be cancelled by the Bureau of Reclamation cutting off water to rice farmers (95% of rice production comes from kalifornia). Despots throughout history have used food as a weapon to suppress the population and enforce their totalitarian rules. Just like the Globalists have leveraged the wuhan virus, they will be leveraging global food shortages.

Reflection on the Bureau of Reclamation decision not to release water for Kalifornian rice farmers. I lived there through the last bad drought, and they didn’t stop the flow of water to rice fields then. but then Newscum and biden happened. . . . .

Invasion of Illegals -
The Biden administration will grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haiti for 18 months in a move that marks a key win for Democrats and immigration advocates.
The TPS will allow Haitians in the United States to obtain a work permit and stay in the U.S. in light of what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says are security concerns and other issues in Haiti. Nearly 100,000 Haitians could get the right to live and work in the U.S. as a result of the measure.

CW2/Domestic violence -
Marches in memory of George Floyd are scheduled across the country this week. Potential for Antifa driven violence piggy backed to those marches.
Friction has developed between BLM and Antifa forces in Portland. On Saturday, BLM organized a march that Antifa joined. Antifa commonly uses these marches for a spring board for violence, but this time organizers of the BLM march were not having any of it accusing Antifa as using blacks as “shields” for their violence. After being kicked out of the march, Antifa just went elsewhere and vandalized down town businesses.
Fairfax District of L.A. has banded together to form a neighborhood watch to help people from Orthodox Jewish community walk home safely, according to the report.
The group sprang up through an Instagram post in the city by Remi Franklin, 37, a jujitsu practitioner.
Los Angeles police on Saturday announced the arrest of a suspect in an alleged attack by a pro-Palestinian group on Jewish men outside a restaurant earlier in the week.
Critical race proponents are now advocating the actual destruction (burning) of the US Constitution because it is racist. NOTE - the same constitution is protecting their speech, removal is not in their best interests.

Cyber Warfare -
Microsoft and cybersecurity experts believe the massive hack against the Microsoft Exchange Server this year was conducted by a Chinese hacker group, but the Biden administration has yet to point the finger. Microsoft said the hacker group “Hafnium,” was “state-sponsored” and operating out of China.

Israel - CEASEFIRE
Cease fire continues to hold and civil unrest in mixed arab/jewish communities is down slightly. Temple Mount still the epicenter of a lot protests and fighting, though that is going down slowly as well.
Arab writers and political analysts are holding the Iranian-backed Hamas responsible for the violence and bloodshed. NOTE - this is a BIG shift for the arab world, due in large part to the Abrahamic Accords i suspect, as well as general hate/distrust of Hamas’ primary supporter - Iran.
Unlike past wars, Israel has tons of video documentation on how Hamas et al embedded their rocket launchers into schools and other civilian areas, used ambulances to move troops, and other actions to deliberately try to delegitimize Israeli counter strikes. World governments and agencies are well aware of this and with the volumes of videos, cannot simply argue Israeli brutality. Additionally, Israel used precise munitions sized to minimize collateral damage. Something they didn’t have isn the past.
Again, this isn’t lost on financial backers of Gaza. Officials in the Donor countries ALCH (that Give Assistance to Gaza and PA) have begun discussions in recent days on the question of whether and how much money to donate to Gaza to aid in the wake of the destruction after Operation Guardian of the Walls. Since 2014, donor countries, mainly European ones, have invested more than $ 2 billion in rehabilitating the Gaza Strip. Officials in those countries expressed frustration at discussions about the money being transferred to Gaza, “without real oversight capability and without a broader political-political process.” Some describe the feeling ‘as an ATM’, that there is no big and comprehensive plan.
NOTE - The realization that Hamas diverted a vast chunk of those billions to construct its military network and rocket system. Such is the flexibility of receiving cash with “real oversight capability”
OBSERVATION - There is a saying that one is always fighting the last war. That is what Hamas did. Israel OTOH did not in this case, but planned out Hamas tactics and operations and pretty well effectively countered them.
____________________________________
Iran -
Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Abbas Aragchi on Monday appeared to double-down on a tough negotiating position with the US as time ran out on IAEA-Tehran cooperation and with June 18 presidential elections creeping closer. The US, Iran and the world powers have had five rounds of negotiations in Vienna in recent months to try to resolve the nuclear standoff.
OBSERVATION - Iran knows fully well biden is a paper tiger and will not do anything to stop Iran from doing what it wants. These negotiation are nothing but a show.

Belarus -
Jet fighters from Belarus were scrambled and intercepted a Ryan Air passenger jet under the pretenses of a bomb threat. After being forced down, police arrested Roman Protasevich, a journalist and critic of the Lukashenko administration. Belarus and Lukashenko are relatively close allies of Putin and Russia. They were reported to have staged military forces on the northern border of Ukraine during the recent crisis.
European leaders have expressed outrage at this hijacking of an airliner. “Hijacking of a civilian plane is an unprecedented act of state terrorism. It cannot go unpunished,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter. Greece’s Foreign Ministry agreed (the aircraft had departed from Athens en route to Lithuania), calling the incident “state hijacking”.

Wuhan virus -
That which in 2019 was tinfoil hat time turned out otherwise. WEF and Bill Gates playing pandemic planning games about a “novel coronavirus” just before the wuhan virus broke forth officially. Now director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of a virus even more transmissible and fatal than Covid-19, noting the “evolutionary certainty” of such an occurrence. Last month vp harris addressing the UN said “we must prepare for the next one” when speaking of the wuhan epidemic.
OBSERVATION - I’ll admit, the tinfoil is strong here, but given the almost frantic effort of governments and ‘scientists’ pushing for 100% vaccination for a disease that has a 99.7% recovery rate makes me stop and say “why”.
Project Veritas has released a memo from facebook that states that it will censor and delete any information that may lead to “vaccine hesitancy”. Be aware.
With fauci backtracking on the wuhan source debate, now all the medial outlets are scrambling to an orwellian rewrite of their denials of the lab release theory. A year ago they chalked concerns about the Wuhan lab up to “conspiracy theories.” Even Politifact is retracting its defense as new information comes out.
biden has called for an ‘independent’ investigation into the origins of the wuhan virus while at the same time ordering the State Dept to end its investigation of the same.
_____________________________
Globalism / Great Reset -
biden issued an “executive order” requiring financial regulators and government budget managers to weigh “climate risk” in issuing regulations and making investment decisions.
Governors from Texas, Idaho, Arizona, South Dakota, Montana, South Carolina, and Wyoming have issued executive orders to ban COVID-19 vaccine passports, while Iowa, Alabama, Utah, Arkansas, and North Dakota have passed bills into law to deal with the issue. Other states like California, Oregon, Washington and NY are pressing forward with passports.
The World Bank has told Russia that it should implement a guaranteed minimum income for the nation to combat poverty and economic hardship. No comment from Russia in response that I can find.
On Tuesday the Pope called on all to embrace essentially the green new deal, calling for “a new ecological approach” to transform “the way humans inhabit the world, our lifestyles, our relationship with the earth’s resources and, in general, our way of seeing human beings and living life.”

Economy -
Brazil has announced that it expects total coffee output to plunge 22.6% in 2021. About 70% of the world’s Arabica beans are grown in Brazil. The decline in production is due to a massive drought that has enveloped the entire country. Adjacent areas coffee production has been hit as well. Coffee futures are on the rise.
23 States have now ended the $300 weekly federal pandemic unemployment compensation supplement.
The National Composite Index marked its tenth consecutive month of accelerating prices with a 13.2% gain from year-ago levels, up from 12.0% in February. Analysts are trying to link the rise to people relocating due to wuhan, which may have been a component, but not mentioned was last years BLM/Antifa riots and skyrocketing crime in major cities that drove people out of the cities and into the suburbs.
NOTE - the bubble grows larger, supported by low interest rates from the Fed.

Invasion of Illegals -
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is moving to end a local police program in Bristol County, Massachusetts, that has helped take illegal alien child rapists, attempted murderers, assailants, carjackers, and others off the streets. Last week, Mayorkas announced he was directing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to end its 287(g) agreement with Bristol County, Massachusetts, as well as terminating DHS use of detention facilities in Massachusetts and Georgia — both of which hold criminal illegal aliens.
Analysis from Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Director of Investigations Jon Feere’s analysis of the program he writes “The Biden administration seems to be upset that the successful 287(g) program in Bristol County, Mass., has resulted in the identification of illegal aliens arrested for child rape, assault, strangulation, arson, attempted murder, armed carjacking, breaking and entering, and identity theft, and they plan to put an end to this public safety program immediately, no matter the cost to public safety. This is consistent with the administration’s enforcement priorities and would ensure that countless criminal aliens are released into our communities. In fiscal year 2020, state and local law enforcement trained under 287(g) encountered approximately 920 aliens convicted for assault, 1,261 convicted for dangerous drugs, 104 convicted for sex offenses/assaults, 377 convicted for obstructing police, 190 convicted for weapon offenses, and 37 convicted for homicide, to name a few crimes”

Biden watch -
The first US-Russia summit of the Biden presidency will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on 16 June. That comes at the tail end of Biden’s already scheduled trip to the United Kingdom for the G7 summit and Brussels for a meeting of Nato leaders, giving the president plenty of time to hear from US allies before sitting down with Putin. This has all the potential of becoming a major dumpster fire if they can’t keep biden drugged up enough to handle the agenda.

Live news coverage at George Floyd Square on the anniversary of his death was interrupted by dozens(?) of shots of gunfire. According to news reports, the police officers responded to calls from the scene relaying that a vehicle was seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed. One person with gunshot wounds was admitted to the hospital.
After a short period of relative calm, rioters in Portland lite it up, literally. While this crowd was yelling “Burn the building down,” some individuals in the crowd have lit a dumpster on fire that has been pushed up against the Justice Center. In addition to the Justice Center, rioters also vandalized the City Hall and numerous businesses in between.
A memo leaked from the State Department supporting BLM propaganda globally. The memo reportedly states “The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25th and beyond. We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism and its continued impact.” Already, U.S. embassy in Spain is now flying a Black Lives Matter flag.
In the dark blue bastion of Austin TX, homeless have established a tent city with its own machete-wielding “security” at city hall.
NOTE - in the Portland/Seattle enclaves of BLM/Antifadom the leftists have shifted some of their emphasis towards protecting homeless encampment throughout those metropolitan areas. They have found the same fertile ground in Austin.

POLITICAL FRONT -
Continuing to monitor voting recounts in AZ and GA.
One particularly dangerous front is the Grand Jury convened to investigate Trump and his businesses. It has all the trapping of a political witch hunt. If they try to arrest and jail him, there is chances that the right will finally have the last straw and grant the leftists their civil war.

China -
China’s foreign ministry on Monday warned the United States and South Korea not to interfere in Taiwan, after leaders of the two countries agreed last week to work together to seek peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. “China brooks no foreign interference on the Taiwan issue,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a regular news briefing in Beijing.
NOTE - These warnings are now almost routine, but China is trying to establish a precidence when they attack Taiwan that the rest of the world was warned to stay away.
China has released computer-generated images of the Xian H-20 strategic bomber have been published by the state defence corporation, Norinco. Like most Chinese items, it is almost a carbon copy of the B2 stealth bomber. It is suppose to have an 1800 mile range - putting Guam within range. For comparison, the USAF B-2 Spirit has an operational range of nearly 7,000 miles.
NOTE - more US technology that was stolen. Shows China’s continued aggressive push to dominate the Western Pacific.

Israel - CEASEFIRE
Continues to hold yet unrest continues in mixed arab/jewish cities.
Blinken announced Tuesday that the Biden administration will reopen its Consulate General in Jerusalem — restoring ties with Palestinians that had been downgraded by the Trump administration — and seek $75 million from Congress to provide development and economic assistance to Palestinians. NOTE - That “assistance” will only line the pockets of Abbas and Hamas - always has, always will.
Abbas his trying to get his fingers into the rebuild Gaza money pot. Abbas emphasized the importance of including the PA in any plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the recent round of war between Israel and Hamas. He also demanded that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas must include banning visits by Jews to al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the Temple Mount,

There is an election going in in Iran today. Reports indicate that the Revolutionary Guard have already picked a likely winner from among the seven men who have been qualified for the Iranian presidency. RUNINT indicates that the winner will be Chief Justice Ebrahim Raisi, a hardliner who would have a far more conservative administration than the current president Rouhani.
