Wuhan virus -
An FDA panel on Tuesday approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 by a vote of 17-0, with one abstention.
OBSERVATION - Speaking to rthe choir but this age group is at virtually no risk to wuhan.
Apparently, the delta plus variant for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that hasn’t been isolated, verified, or purified is now in Massachusetts. The mainstream media and ruling class need you to desperately believe that this time, this variant is more transmissible than all the other ones.
Known as AY.4.2, the so-called “delta plus” variant is believed to be even more contagious than the highly transmissible delta variant. One expert said it could be 10% to 15% more contagious than delta. So far, the mutation has been detected in Massachusetts and some other U.S. states, according to Outbreak.info.
Swedish health officials have now decided that a moratorium on giving the Moderna vaccine to anyone under 31 will be extended indefinitely, the U.K. Daily Mail reported. The pause on the Moderna shots had been scheduled to end on Dec. 1.
Finland, Iceland and Denmark have taken similar steps. Norway is encouraging men under 30 not to get the Moderna shot, but is not mandating it.
OBSERVATION - These countries are leading the way in responding to the documented hazards of the jab.
Word coming from the CDC is of a third shot beyond the booster.
The Biden administration announced new travel requirements for international visitors on Monday. The new rules replace those put in place in January 2020 as protection from the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The new rules will require most travelers to America to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The U.S. will accept any FDA-approved vaccine for regular or emergency use or approved by the World Health Organization.
Quarantine officers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will spot-check passengers who arrive in the U.S. for compliance, according to an administration official. Airlines that don’t enforce the requirements could be subject to penalties of up to nearly $35,000 per violation.
OBSERVATION - “Quarantine officers” ?

Globalism / Great Reset -
Noam Chomsky In a recent interview - asked for his opinion on vaccine mandates, suggested that while refusing vaccination is ultimately an extension of one’s free will, such a decision should also entail insistence that the unvaccinated isolate themselves from society.
“If people decide ‘I am willing to be a danger to the community by refusing a vaccine,’ they should then say ‘Well, I also have the decency to isolate myself,’” Chomsky states in the clip. He goes on to say, “If it really reaches the point where they are severely endangering people, then, of course, you have to do something about them.”
OBSTEVATION - he further went on to imply that the unvaxxed should be on their own, with no assistance in getting food etc. Displays core intent of globalist/communists.
Contra Costa County has suspended the permit of the In-N-Out in Pleasant Hill after more citations for not following the vaccine mandate. This is the second In-N-Out to be closed for not screening customers for a vaccine card.
OBSREVATION - this is on the radar across the spectrum if citizens don’t start pushing back

Economy -
Federal Reserve officials are poised to start slowing their aggressive bond-buying program in November, the first step that policymakers will take in dialing back pandemic-era support for the U.S. economy.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other top policymakers have indicated over the course of the past month that they are preparing to start reducing the $120 billion in monthly purchases, a policy known as “quantitative easing” that’s designed to keep credit cheap. Reducing bond purchases will be the first step the Fed takes in returning to a more normal policy setting.
“I do think it’s time to taper, and I don’t think it’s time to raise rates,” Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week during a virtual discussion. (Fox)
OBSERVATION - If this slowing is not handled correctly, it will kick the legs out of the markets that have grown addicted to this money.
The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 19.8% annual gain in August, remaining the same as the previous month. The 10- City Composite annual increase came in at 18.6%, down from 19.2% in the previous month.
OBSERVATION - Speaking to the choir - the housing bubble is reaching a hazardous zone. Prices sky high due and with the potential of increasing rates from the fed could crash all.
The New York Times published a story Monday explaining how nearly every aspect of Americans’ Turkey Day feasts will be more expensive this year from spices and ingredients to the aluminum pan that holds the bird and fixings. It’s not just a few extra cents here and there, it’s everything. And, as The New York Times concludes, “Thanksgiving 2021 could be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday.” Turkey, is setting price records with the price per pound is expected to rise above $1.36, surpassing the record benchmark price set back in 2015.
Businesses and unions starting beg the biden administration to delay the deadline for the mandated jabs to some time after Christmas. They are facing the reality that a substantial number of workers will be forced out of their jobs, exacerbating already chronic employee shortages that will impact right during the holidays.

POLITICAL FRONT -
With the flames of the dumpster fire ignited by biden et al policies - economic turmoil, energy crisis, wuhan scandal, invasion of illegals on the southern border, Afghanistan and other foreign policy fiascos - VP Harris touts the latest and greatest from the administration.
“President Biden and I released the first ever National Gender Strategy,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced via Twitter. “This is our vision for the future of our nation—one that is bold in strategy and one that this moment calls for.”
If rumors are true, Sen. Joe Manchin has been a one man wrecking crew against the 3.5 trillion an “infrastructure” bill Latest is that the IRS monitoring of bank accounts is dead. Pelosi et al are scrambling to try to put forth some kind of bill to save face with progressives and moderates. Not a guaranteed thing at this stage.

Domestic Terror -
(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. intelligence community assesses that the Afghanistan-based terrorist groups ISIS-K and al-Qaeda intend to attack the United States, and could have the ability to do so in as little as six months in the former case, and within “a year or two” in the latter, a senior Pentagon official told lawmakers on Tuesday.
“I think the intelligence community currently assesses that both ISIS-K and al-Qaeda have the intent to conduct external operations, including against the United States, but neither currently has the capability to do so,” undersecretary of defense for policy Colin Kahl told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“We could see ISIS-K generate that capability in somewhere between six or twelve months. I think the current assessment by the intelligence community is that al-Qaeda would take a year or two to reconstitute that capability.”

China -
China has launched a new satellite that analysts say can be used as a weapon capable of grabbing and crushing American satellites.
The Shijian-21 satellite was sent aloft on Sunday atop a rocket booster from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, ostensibly for cleaning “space debris,” according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, Beijing’s state-run space company. The company stated that the satellite is “tasked with demonstrating technologies to alleviate and neutralize space debris.”
OBSERVATION - China may consider US satellites to be “space debris”, just saying
(FO) A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said the agency must impose restrictions on Chinese drone maker DJI Technology because of national security risks. Commissioner Brendan Carr described the company as “Huawei on wings” and called for the FCC to prohibit the purchase of DJI products with federal funds. “They are collecting vast troves of sensitive data on Americans and U.S. critical infrastructure, including high-risk images, facial recognition technology, and remote sensors that can measure an individual’s body temperature and heart rate,” Carr said. The Department of Homeland Security and Defense Department separately affirmed the Chinese drone maker is “providing sensitive U.S. infrastructure & law enforcement data to Beijing.”
Skynews is announcing that China has placed as many as 4 million under a 21 day lockdown, including portions of Beijing. Monitoring.

Ukraine has used a TB2 drone against separatist (Russian) artillery position which was in violation of Minsk agreements withdrawal range. Artillery appears to be D-30 towed howitzers.

Iran -
Iranian state television, quoting an official from Iran’s SNSC, says a cyberattack has targeted gas stations across the Islamic Republic. A group calling itself “predatory sparrow” has claimed today’s nationwide cyber-attack on Iran’s petrol stations, also claiming responsibility for a similar attack on Iran’s railway network earlier this year. The claims are unconfirmed and must be treated with caution.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan -
The Pentagon stated Tuesday that nearly 450 American citizens are still in Afghanistan following August’s U.S. military withdrawal, more than the Biden administration has previously claimed.

Wuhan virus -
Dr. Eric Rubin, who sits on the Food and Drug Administration independent advisory panel, stated on the FDA’s decision “The data show that the vaccine works and is pretty safe … and yet we’re worried about a side effect that we can’t measure yet, but it’s probably real,” Rubin said. “It really is going to be a question of what the prevailing conditions are,” Rubin said. “But we’re never going to learn about how safe this vaccine is unless we start giving it. That’s just the way it goes.”
OBSERVATION - So in essence the vaccine should be approved in spite of the unknown, for administering the vaccine is the only way possible to learn of potential side effects. Que Fauci’s beagles.

Globalism / Great Reset -
Over the past few weeks, climate alarmism in the news and from globalist interests has reached a high water mark. In part this is due to the upcoming G20 summit.
OBSERVATION - The WEF has tied climate change activism to its global reset agenda. I’ve noted in the past many of these ‘elites’ are also calling for wuhan - like shutdowns to start to achieve carbon reductions. EU and Australia appear to be backing off the latest “net zero” plans of complete switch to ‘green ‘ sources. The current global energy crisis and skyrocketing demand for coal may have caused concern by the globalists that their agenda is failing.
The Chicago City Council is expected to pass a measure this week that would result in one of the largest guaranteed basic income measures in the country, amid calls from black lawmakers to put the money toward the city’s violent crime problem.
OBSERVATION - A universal wage is a key plank of the great reset to provide economic equality. It hasn’t worked where it has been tried on smaller scales, but communists rhetorically reply it hasn’t been done right.

Economy -
Blaming rising COVID-19 cases and persistent supply shortages, the U.S. economy slowed to a 2% annual rate in the July-September period, the weakest quarterly growth since the recovery from the pandemic recession began last year. The government’s estimate Thursday of a 2% annual increase in GDP last quarter was even lower than economists’ forecasts for a significant slowdown in growth.
New orders for durable goods in the U.S. slipped 0.4% in September, breaking a four-month streak of growth, according to new U.S. Census Bureau data. In a related, MarketWatch reports U.S. trade deficit in goods soars 9.2% in September to record high of $96.3 billion.
What ever the democrats pass, it will hurt the economy As for now though, the circular firing squad continues to shoot, inspite of warm fuzzies from pelosi.
This has caused Biden to delay his departure to Rome, Italy today by several hours so he can meet with Democrat lawmakers. He was hoping to go to the climate conference in Scotland with legislative victories to hold up as proof of the U.S. commitment to climate change. The green new deal is included in the massive Build Back Better plan.
BREAKING - biden is saving all is well and that his new bill is the next best thing since sliced bread
______________________________
Invasion of Illegals -
The mob migrating to the southern border continues to grow and the administration is doing nothing to prevent it or deal with it.
OBSERVATION - This applies to other areas of seemingly biden incompetence - it is not incompetence but deliberate actions to destabilize the country to pave the way for a dictatorial government ‘savior’.
______________________________
Biden watch -
RUMINT - Jill Biden has been asking if there’s a process to remove a sitting Vice President.
OBSERVATION - Harris is a major barrier for democrats Biden’s mental facilities are failing, and at some stage he will step down on his own or forced down. Harris is a boat anchor and talk is pushing biden to run for re-election in 2024. There is no easy out for democrats on this one.

CANCEL CULTURE FRONT -
Now Wuhan cancel culture. Westwood One radio host Dan Bongino is off the air this week after blasting the parent company for its vaccine mandate. Cumulus Media, which owns the radio network, told employees that they were required to be vaccinated by the end of September so that they could return to the office Oct. 11

China -
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen confirmed to CNN during an interview on Wednesday that U.S. troops were on the ground in Taiwan helping the island prepare for a possible military invasion from communist China, warning that the threat from China is “increasing every day.”
Defense Department records show the number of U.S. troops in Taiwan increased from 10 in 2018 to 32 earlier this year. The State Department asked for more Marines to safeguard the unofficial U.S. Embassy in Taipei. Any U.S. military presence in Taiwan, big or small, is perceived by Beijing as an act of aggression, state media says.
Chinas energy crisis has spread from electrical production to vehicle fuel. Fuel stations in many parts of China have begun rationing diesel amid rising costs and falling supplies. Some truck drivers are having to wait entire days to refuel, according to posts on social media site Weibo. When they get to the pumps, in some places they can only purchase 10% of the tank’s capacity.
“The current diesel shortages seem to be affecting long distance transportation businesses which could include goods meant for markets outside of China,” said Mattie Bekink, China Director at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
“Depending on the duration and intensity of this crunch, we could well see this contribute to the global supply chain challenges.”

North Korea -
North Koreans were told that they shouldn’t expect the China border to open and normal trade to resume until at least 2025. In the meantime, they’re just going to need to take one for the team and “tighten their belts.” (NY Post). This is largely a self-inflicted wound because Kim Jong-un closed the border with China (who traditionally supplies most of their imported food) at the beginning of the pandemic.
OBSERVATION - This is a dangerous approach as the NK population has been largely near famine conditions for nearly two years now.

Shops, restaurants and schools have shut in Moscow in a partial lockdown, as Russia battles record Covid deaths and infections.
Only essential shops like supermarkets and pharmacies are allowed to open in the capital, while food outlets are only providing takeaways.

Iran -
Iran has agreed to resume talks by the end of next month with world powers over its nuclear deal, the country’s deputy foreign minister said Wednesday, after talks with EU mediators in Brussels.
OBSERVATION - Expect more delays by Iran and obfuscation for them to gain more ground on their nuclear program.

Syria -
Turkey deployed hundreds more troops in northern Syria overnight in preparation for a long-suspended offensive against American-backed Kurdish forces, according to two officials, a move that could help President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shore up flagging domestic support and put pressure on the U.S. and Russia to rein in the Kurdish troops.
