Wuhan virus -

An indoor mask mandate has been reinstated in Santa Cruz County, California, after a surge in winter coronavirus cases has led to increased hospitalizations.
The county health department is requiring that people wear face coverings in indoor settings, including in private homes.
OBSERVATION - Mandated in your OWN HOME, watch the snitches come out as that is the only way they will be able to monitor compliance.

Globalism / Great Reset -

India plans to introduce, evaluate and enforce a bill to prohibit “all private cryptocurrencies” in the country, according to a legislative agenda for the winter session. The Indian government said Tuesday evening that the proposed law will permit “certain exceptions” to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its applications. The bill — called Cryptocurrency & Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2021 — will also create a “facilitative framework” for the creation of the official digital currency for the country, the legislative agenda adds.
OBSERVATION - nationalized digital (crypto) currency is just one step away from a global system.

New York City may soon permit hundreds of thousands of noncitizens to vote in municipal elections, while Mayor Bill de Blasio and his successor, Eric Adams, feel differently about the prospect.
The bill aims to amend the city’s charter by including a new chapter with provisions for allowing green card holders and those with work authorization to register to vote and take part in citywide elections through the creation of a separate municipal voter registration. Adams supported the concept when he was campaigning for mayor earlier this year.
OBSERVATION - Another step to strip away the concept of citizenship rights and give it to who ever. No more borders.

Leftists seek to destroy Thanksgiving - a uniquely American holiday - just like they’ve tried to eliminate Columbus from history . Globalists only want people to be thankful for the piddlings they hand out, and no thanks to an Almighty God.

Economy -

Oil prices rose above $82 a barrel on Tuesday morning after the Biden administration announced the U.S. and other nations would release tens of millions of barrels of oil from reserves in a ploy to lower prices. The jump in prices is largely due to OPEC’s response to the release by ‘reevaluating” their plans to increase production in the short term.
The government will not move barrels into the market until mid- to late-December. And not all of the oil will hit the market: Biden said 32 million barrels will eventually be returned to the SPR, with the other 18 million authorized for sale by Congress.

NOTE - 50 Million barrels is less than 3 days of US consumption. Like I said, such releases have have little to no effect. In this case, just the opposite happened - increased prices. ‘But only 18 Million barrels will actually affect the market.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, newly appointed for a second four-year term as chief of the central bank, said on Nov. 22 that he would use the Fed’s arsenal to prevent inflation from becoming a more permanent feature of American life.
OBSERVATION - Powell is responsible in many ways for creating the current near hyper inflation conditions.

Uncontrolled retail theft is hitting corporations earnings and stock prices. Best Buy for instance too a big hit when their earnings report noted the loss of profit due to theft.

Invasion of Illegals -

Texas is ramping up Operation Lone Star, an effort to stem illegals from entering the state. He is mobilizing 10,000 officers and National Guard and erecting barriers at key crossing points. The operation utilizes air, ground, and marine tactical border security units. The operation started in March 2021 and the current expansion is due to thee reports of migrant caravans making their way north from southern Mexico.

In less than a year in office, biden administrations created the worst border situation ever.
______________________________

Biden watch -

PRES. BIDEN: “My effort to combat climate change is not raising the price of gas...what it’s doing, it’s increasing the availability of jobs.”

Biden does not understand why people are finding rising gasoline prices such a struggle, when the obvious solution is to buy a $112,595 electric Hummer pickup.

When asked by a reporter Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden would not be apologizing for characterizing Kyle Rittenhouse as a “white supremacist.”
NOTE - He didn’t take the law into his own hands, he was running for his life.
___________________________

CW2/Domestic violence -

Another court case overshadowed by the Rittenhouse trial is that of three White men on trial for the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed Black man. Jury deliberations started yesterday. As prosecutors and defense lawyers delivered their closing statements, dozens of members of BLM 757, Lion of Judah Armed Forces and the New Black Panther Party marched outside the Glynn County Courthouse. “Ya’ll are in serious trouble because the wrath of karma is coming on America,” said a man who identified himself as the supreme commander of the New Black Panther militia. “We’re not taking it no more.”

OBSERVATION - If found not guilty, I fully expect the BLM/Antifa forces to erupt because in this case, versus Rittehouse, a black was killed. I haven’t followed this case very closely to say what the tea leaves forecast for a verdict.
The active presence of the New Black Panthers is a disturbing note. /they are volitile and emphasize being heavily armed and training to use those arms. There were some reports that the NBP will or has already set up small strike teams for targeted killings and the sort.

Flash looting mobs are spreading, with a major hit on a high end mall in Los Angles.
It is not hard to forecast that this trend will rapidly spread to most if not all major urban and suburban areas of the country in the coming days and weeks. The ferals sense the weakness and inability/unwillingness of LEO response.

Strategic Activity / Deployments -

The guided-missile destroyer USS Milius passed through the Taiwan Strait yesterday, per 7th Fleet officials. The contentious 100-mile-wide waterway is claimed by China but the U.S. considers it international waters. See China below for their response.

Noted earlier, the U.S. Army is reactivating its 56th Artillery Command, which had been deactivated in 1991. This command used to control the nuclear capable Pershing missiles of the cold war era. They will be commanding a whole new set of missiles to be deployed in the relatively near future. Currently the army has three new long-range missiles in development and all three are to be ready by 2023. The new missiles include the Precision Strike Missile, with a range of 500 kilometers, a Mid-Range Strike Missile with a range of 1,600 kilometers and a Long Range Hypersonic missile with a range of 2,700 kilometers. On an interim basis the Army plans to use the surface-to-surface version of the navy’s SM-6 anti-aircraft missile and Tomahawk cruise missiles to provide long range missiles quickly.

OBSERVATION - The US has been caught sleeping and is playing catch up in Europe. Russia will likely use this as justification for expanding its own similar ranged systems to threaten Europe as well.

China military said that the transit of a US warship in the Taiwan Strait creates security risks and undermining regional stability, warns it will take all necessary steps to counter all threats and provocations, safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity

Russia -

The Kremlin on Tuesday said new sanctions imposed by the United States in connection with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline were illegal and wrong, especially at a time when Moscow and Washington are attempting to rebuild dialog.
Monday’s sanctions targeted Russia-linked Transadria Ltd. and its vessel. Washington opposes the $11 billion pipeline, which runs under the Baltic Sea to bypass Ukraine and carry gas from Russia’s Arctic region to Germany.
____________________________________

Ukraine -

Russia’s most senior military general, Valery Gerasimov, held the call with US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, in which the two top generals talked about “pressing issues of international security”. The past days have witnessed heightening rhetoric and threats being exchanged between Moscow and Washington over tensions in Ukraine and Belarus, especially given recent reports from US media over a Russian force build-up and planned “invasion” of eastern Ukraine, reports which the Kremlin has vehemently denied.

The Kremlin has denied accusations by Ukrainian and U.S. intelligence officials that Russia is preparing an “imminent” invasion of Ukraine. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the reports as a “deliberate smear campaign in the media” and said Russia’s recent military deployments near Ukraine were part of standard exercises.
“I can only say that in this case any movements by the Russian troops inside the country, and this relates solely to our territory, pose no threat to anyone and must be of no concern to anyone,” he told reporters.

OBSERVATIONS - I am not convinced of an imminent attack by Russia, but another exercise to test NATO mettle. However, the force build up in the region is at the point where Russia could easily execute a multi pronged attack into Ukraine, while blackmailing European NATO forces with natural gas shut offs (If the winter attack scenario plays out.

Syria -

Syrian state media says at 01:26 Israel launched airstrikes from over Beirut targeting an area around Homs, causing the death of two civilians, injuring six soldiers, and material damage.
A Syrian air defense missile fired toward Israeli jets amid the strike in central Syria overnight, exploded off the coast of Haifa, Channel 12 reports.

NOTE - Part of now almost routine airstrikes on probable Hezebollah/Iranian munitions and factory facilities in Syria.

Venezuela -

For the first time in 15 years, Venezuela’s ruling socialist government allowed election observers into the country. Those observers concluded the elections were, at best, a mixed bag. Not surprisingly the socialists won most races thanks largely to the ways in which Maduro’s regime has tilted the playing field. The tilt largely consisted of banning opposition candidates from running for office. It didn’t help that the opposition was severely divided in its efforts

OBSERVATION - Continued economic woes and Madura gets entrenched even deeper. Results will also probably ensue closer cooperation with Iran and bases for islamic terror in Central/South America.

Belarus -

Polish Border Guards: yesterday in Mielnik, two violent attempts to cross the border took place. Groups of 40 aggressive foreigners attacked the Polish services by throwing stones, tree logs, and stun grenades.

OBSERVATION - Continued deescalation of the border stand off.

By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Go: Washington

Globalism / Great Reset -

Liberal news outlet Axios released an article on Tuesday suggesting that people should get tested for COVID in order to attend Thanksgiving with their families. Axios suggested having “bouncers” at the doors to block family members that don’t provide a negative test from attending the holiday.
OBSERVATION - Critical thrust of globalists and the implementation of their agenda - divide the family unit in half.

A leader of Germany’s Greens, set to be part of a new government, expressed support on Wednesday for mandatory vaccinations as the number of infections jumped again.
Katrin Goering-Eckardt, the parliamentary leader of the Greens, said continual lockdowns and restrictions on social contact were a bigger imposition than demanding vaccination.
Initially, mandatory vaccinations were needed in care facilities to protect particularly sensitive groups, she told Deutschlandfunk radio. Introducing compulsory vaccination would not mean that this would be enforced by police, she added.
The Free Democrats have so far opposed making vaccines compulsory.

OVERALL OBSERVATIONS - WUHAN being used to force people into jab compliance. Its been noted that this is a progressive methodology . People finally comply to wuhan demands, they are conditioned to comply to other demands.

Economy -

The Commerce Department’s inflation measurement, or “Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index” (PCE), rose 5% in the 12 months through October, the most significant monthly jump since 1990. The most recent CPI shows prices rose 6.2% year-over-year, also a 31-year high.

Economists are now voicing a more discouraging message that higher prices will last well into next year, if not beyond.
“It’s a large blow against the transitory narrative,” said Jason Furman, the top economic adviser in the Obama administration. “Inflation is not slowing. It’s maintaining a red-hot pace ... They need to stop telling us that inflation is transitory, start becoming more worried about inflation, then act in a manner consistent with being worried.”

Invasion of Illegals -

The Biden administration is planning to promptly reinstate the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy that requires asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border to wait in Mexico until their cases are heard.
“As we have previously stated, we are required by court order to reimplement MPP,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News, referring to Migrant Protection Protocols.
“In compliance with the court order, we are working to reimplement MPP as promptly as possible. We cannot do so until we have the independent agreement from the government of Mexico to accept those we seek to enroll in MPP. We will communicate to the court and to the public the timing of reimplementation when we are prepared to do so,” the spokesperson added.
Established by the Trump administration in January 2019, the “Remain in Mexico” policy, or MPP, returned migrants to Mexico to await asylum hearings instead of keeping them in the United States.

Biden watch -

Biden delisted the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Colombian rebel group, from the administration’s list of foreign terrorist organizations. Founded in 1964, FARC was behind attacks on towns, executions and the kidnappings of thousands of people in Colombia over the last few decades. The group was added to the terror list in 1997.

All quiet in the aftermath of the Arbery decision. Mob was appeased. Biden fanned the flames and said the Arbery verdict is “not enough” as armed Black Panthers rallied outside the Georgia courthouse.

Continuing to expect more flash looting mobs. Stores are stocked to the max for the Christmas shopping season, making tempting targets.

China -

The US government added a dozen more Chinese firms to its export blacklist on Wednesday, the latest move from Washington to crack down on American business ties to China’s hi-tech defence sector.
“Global trade and commerce should support peace, prosperity and good-paying jobs, not national security risks,” US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
The additions to the Commerce Department’s blacklist, known officially as the entity list, include quantum computing companies, semiconductor firms and Chinese businesses that have contributed “to Pakistan’s unsafeguarded nuclear activities”.

US intentionally kept China and Russia off the list of invitees for the Biden administration-sponsored “Summit for Democracy” set to be held next month in virtual format. The first ever US-sponsored event of its kind has a goal of restoring democracy and promoting human rights across the globe, based on Biden’s foreign policy agenda, and the US has invited at total of 110 countries to participate.
China on Wednesday is seething, issuing a scathing statement, after it’s been revealed the White House has invited Taiwan instead of China to the world gathering which runs from Dec.9 through Dec.10.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson told a press conference in Beijing that it’s “firmly opposed” to the “mistake” of the US inviting Taiwan, given Taiwan remains “inalienable part of Chinese territory,” according to the statement.

Ukraine -

Canada is considering bolstering its military mission to Ukraine, amid a debate over whether additional NATO forces would deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from further aggression against his country’s neighbor. On November 24, The Globe and Mail reported that Canada is considering larger deployments to Ukraine, including deploying hundreds of additional troops to support the Canadian soldiers already in Ukraine on a training mission and redeploying some of the CF-18 fighter jets currently based in Romania.

Security alert - Ukraine
Location: Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, and Ukraine’s borders
Event: U.S. citizens are advised of concerning reports of unusual Russian military activity near Ukraine’s borders and in occupied Crimea. The Travel Advisory for Ukraine remains at Level 4 – Do Not Travel in Crimea due to abuses by Russian occupation authorities, in the eastern parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts due to armed conflict, and for all of Ukraine due to COVID-19. U.S. citizens are reminded the security conditions along the border may change with little or no notice. Please check our website and social media pages for additional information.

Morocco and Israel signed a defense memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Rabat on Wednesday, opening the way for possible military sales and cooperation after the countries upgraded diplomatic ties last year. Morocco was one of four Arab countries - along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan - to normalize relations with Israel last year under U.S.-engineered Abraham Accords.
