Back in the saddle again and trying to catch up.

Wuhan Virus -
Wuhan mutations are causing drug firms to rush their efforts to stay ahead of these mutations.

Meanwhile Kalifornia sits on 2 million unused vaccine shots according to a report in the SF Chronicle. “California has among the lower rates of vaccine administration in the country, with only 38% of the 3.1 million doses delivered to the state actually being given so far “. Like most everything in Kalifornia - the state govt has created another clusterfark.

Peer reviewed paper titled “COVID-19: Rethinking the Lockdown Groupthink.” Canadian scientist Dr. Ari Joffe documents that the collateral effects of lockdowns have caused 10 times more harm than good. Many of these effects have been out there, but submerged in a ‘saving lives vs economy’ argument. Now it is documented that more lives have been harmed than ‘saved’ by the lockdowns.

Economy -
Biden is considering cancelling the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. Such a move would bring a significant lawsuit as well as create tension with Canada. Canceling the project would impact thousands of jobs.

2020 Election-
DNI Ratcliffe released the LATE report documenting that China interfered with the 2020 election and that CIA management pressured analysts not to report it. Unaccountable deep state actors.

CW2/Domestic violence -
With about 30,000 NG troops in DC, the FBI is scrambling to vet those troops after fear that there may be an insider attack during the inauguration. Leaders stated they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.
MY OBSERVATION - It is incredible how the wet is wetting their pants over the inauguration security. Anyone looking at the security measures in place and the massive “green zone” created would expect that a huge force is enroute to capture the city. All this for a VIRTUAL ceremony! When BLM/Antifa was busy burning down the city and attempting to storm the WH last year, DC rejected a few hundred NG troops and sat back. BTW NOT A SINGLE RIOTER ARRESTED THEN HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING. My thoughts this is a leftist attempt at muscle flexing, failing to realize that they really don’t have control over the NG (and rest of the military) rank and file the thought they had.

Most other state capitols have been closed or have heightened security measures in place. Small groups of armed protestors have shown up at various capitols, like in Ohio, but for now have posed no serious threat.

There are rumors that cell service and hand held radio comms are being interfered with in DC, including police comms. In a related warning, the FCC issued a statement saying that encrypted/coded messages are illegal in civilian and ham frequencies.
MY OBSERVATION - I suspect that the interference is in part directed by the government, though interference with the police may be some groups efforts. Police comms in DC are likely to be trunked and encrypted, broadcast in the 900 mega htz range. Without decryption equipment you can’t hear what is being said, however, you can know that things are being broadcast - so one could jam in the blind to disrupt. Its what i expected when the Vinson system was deployed to us back in the 1980’s.

CYBER/CANCEL CULTURE FRONT -
Parler is in the process of coming back on line, now being hosted by Epik. CEO Matze made an initial post yesterday, but the site is still in reconstruction mode. Matze has also gone underground due to numerous threats to his and family’s lives. However, don’t expect the app to show up in the Apple or Google store any time soon.

Pro-life organizations are bracing for the next round of cyber closures of their access to the internet. Groups are looking at switching to favorable servers and email services to preempt shutdown like have impacted other conservative groups on social media and Parler.

Mexico’s president has compered the Social Media jihad to the Spanish Inquisition.

POLITICAL FRONT -
In a harbinger of things to come for the FUSA, France will include information about the faith and political opinions in the police files of people who could be a threat to national security. Views expressed on social media will also be collected, the government confirmed. Democrat leaders have openly said they will be going after “Christian nationalists” and other faith based groups in the coming years, as they were a key voting block for Trump.

Following documenting six constitutional violations by the House from the recent impeachment, Alan Dershowitz has again gone on record saying that the Senate does not have the jurisdiction to place a ‘citizen’ Trump on trial. Rumors have been floating that Sen McConnell is drifting towards allowing such a trial. Democrat senators would have little concerns about the constitutionality of a trial, given their track record. Their only goal would be the attempt to force Trump out of future political options - particularly a run in 2024.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
The US flew 2 B52 bombers to the Persian Gulf yesterday (Jan 17th) in a show of force 2 days after Iran carried out a large ballistic missile and drone exercise.

Israel -
A lightning strike overnight reportedly caused two rockets to misfire in Gaza. Both rockets launched into the Mediterranean. No Israeli warning alerts were issued. IAF did strike an underground facility after a couple other rockets were launched towards Israel.

Iran -
Yesterday’s ongoing missile/drone exercise featured the simultaneous launch of 6 medium range missiles from one of Irans missile test ranges. Observers noted that as many as four of the rockets were their newer, solid fuel versions.
