Wuhan virus -
wuhan Omicron madness continues with all kinds of info flying out there. A widely-shared quote from a South African doctor, saying Omicron causes only mild symptoms, was reportedly taken out of context. She was referring to a small group of young, healthy people and warned of severe disease in other groups.
Multiple countries have issued travel restrictions and bans. However, some think that such measures are not only ineffective but too late in this case.
OBSERVATION - As the hype and craziness evolves, I expect the globalist / big pharma cabal to use this to increase demands for universal vaccination - with no exemptions and increasing penalties against the non-vaxxers. Its gonna take days for things to sort out and for the powers that be to come up with the new narrative.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday authorized boosters of the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for all Americans 18 or older.

POLITICAL FRONT -
Federal agencies paid out at least $548 million to informants working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), in recent years, according to government audits.
* A few informants became millionaires, with some Amtrak and “parcel” delivery workers making nearly $1 million or more.
* Many informants were authorized to commit “crimes” with the permission of their federal handlers. In a four-year period, there were 22,800 crime authorizations (2011-2014).
* The FBI paid approximately $294 million (FY2012-2018), the DEA paid at least $237 million (FY2011-2015), and ATF paid approximately $17.2 million total (FY2012-2015) to informants.
OBSERVATION - A corrupt government increasing corruption.

China -
China carried out ‘Combat Readiness Patrol’ as US Lawmakers vIsited Taipei .
Taiwan Ministry of Defense:27 PLA aircraft entered the southwest ADZ on Sunday.
Chinese lenders, the Export-Import Bank of China, also known as Exim Bank, has taken over the Ugandan Entebbe International Airport and other assets in the country over the failure of the Ugandan government to repay a loan. According to the Daily Monitor, the Ugandan government waived international immunity in the agreement it signed to secure the loans, exposing Entebbe International Airport to take over without international protection.
OBSERVATION - Progressive seizure of assets from loans to countries is at the heart of most of the loans China has been making to third world nations, knowing full well that they won’t be able to repay them. Corrupt govt and corrupt officials are very prone to get their cut from such china deals only making matters worse.

Russia -
According to PRAVDA, all nuclear submarines of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy in a state of combat readiness left their places of deployment and went on alert duty. Satellite images of the naval base in Vilyuchinsk, Kamchatka, confirm that Russian nuclear submarines have left the base over the course of several days. The latest photographic evidence received from the Sentinel-2 spacecraft was made on November 23, 2021. Neither the Russian Defense Ministry nor the Russian Navy have released any official comments on the details of such a massive maneuver conducted by Russian nuclear submarines at sea.
OBSERVATION - This is concerning and even though Pravda is the source of the report, those monitoring OSINT satellite photography back this interpretation up. Could be an exercise or a pre-attack operation deployment. Monitoring
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mass production of the Zircon hypersonic nuclear missile ahead of an expected offensive into Ukraine early next year, The Sun reported.
See Poland below for response to Russian threats against the west.

Conditions still tense as Ukraine makes preparations against a strongly suspected Russian attack within the next few months. Russia ‘separatists’ blocking inspections by UN peace keeper/observers on an increasing basis.

Middle East / N. Africa General -
Plans to amend 30 articles of the Jordanian constitution, which include expanding the powers of the king, have drawn criticism from members of parliament and a former deputy prime minister.
The proposed changes would establish a new National Security Council with wide-ranging political and security powers. The new council is to be headed by the king and includes the prime minister, the head of the army, the directors of the security services, the foreign and interior ministers, and two other members that the king will appoint.
The concern is that this will create a new body that will parallel the executive and legislative branches of government.
OBSERVATION - This appears to be an effort by the king to strengthen his powers in the face of increasing islamic radicalism.

Iran -
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, made clear once again that his country wants the lifting of all sanctions in a verifiable process, Reuters reports.
OBSERVATION - This a repeat of its demand to enter into a new nuclear agreement. history has shown that Iran will cheat and lie on its part and the US under biden is trending to eventually comply with its demands.

Poland -
Poland has urged NATO to send reinforcements east over concerns about Russia’s military buildup near Ukraine, which is expected to be the focus of high-level alliance talks in Latvia next week that will include U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. President Andrzej Duda said Thursday at NATO headquarters in Brussels that a beefed up military presence along NATO’s eastern flank is needed given concerns over Russian’s intentions in the region. “This cautiousness and vigilance from NATO, which is responsible for the military security of the allies, is necessary,”
OBSERVATION - This is the ‘tripwire’ principle of deterrance. However Russia sees more NATO forces as one of the ‘red lines’ he’s been warning about.

Thanks for pointing that out. The disinfo from the other side I understand, the disinfo from my compatriots really irritates me.

Wuhan virus -
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that Omicron is likely to spread internationally and poses a very high risk of infection surges that could have “severe consequences” in some places. “The overall global risk ...is assessed as very high.” However, no Omicron-linked deaths had yet been reported and many of those infected have been ‘fully vaccinated’.
It is already suspected that this new wuhan mutant has spread far from the South Africa region.
In the face of this new global ‘emergency’, U.S. health officials have not imposed any new screening or tracing requirements in response to the newly discovered Omicron COVID-19 variant. Fauci says it will take a couple of weeks to understand this new variant. IMHO, tracing would be essential, but then again, maybe not.
President Biden is scheduled to provide an update on his administration’s response to the new COVID-19 omicron variant on Monday, according to the White House, after Dr. Anthony Fauci said it will take roughly two weeks to gather more information on the new strain. Biden met with Fauci and members of the White House COVID-19 Response Team on Sunday, two days after the World Health Organization (WHO) held an emergency meeting to discuss the new COVID-19 strain, which it labeled a variant of concern.

Globalism / Great Reset -
A married couple who fled a quarantine hotel for suspected Omicron strain carriers in the Netherlands have been removed from a flight by the Dutch military police just as their plane was about to take off. The dramatic incident unfolded at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on board a flight that was set to depart for Spain at around 6pm on Sunday, the Netherlands armed forces confirmed in a statement. The identities of the detained couple were not released, and it is unclear whether they were infected or just being held in quarantine as a precaution. The military turned them over to health officials to be sent to another quarantine facility. “We will control whether they keep to those rules,” Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge declared on Sunday, just hours before the escape attempt.
OBSERVATION - Forces are growing on the mandatory quarantine front for population control. Australia just openly admitted using military to round up people to put in their camps.
As the hoopla about Omicron flows into this week, it is suspicious that it would come to the front after the scare mongering for Thanksgiving is past and something new is needed to dampen the Christmas season. Coincidence? I think not.
Samsung, one of the world’s top producers of electronic devices, now has what is often referred to as a “vaccine pass.”
Through the company’s partnership with The Commons Project and CommonHealth, a digital vaccine card was created that can be displayed from a user’s cell phone.
OBSERVATION - Smart phones have been considered one of the key methods of tracking vaccination status. This is in part due to the tracking capability and difficulty to counterfeit the material.
OVERALL OBSERVATIONS - There is much to be suspect in the overarching hype about Omicron; timing of the announcement, near instantaneous knee jerk response globally and the intensity of the hype. This plays into the globalist plan to maintain the stress and pressure on the population, wearing their will and resolve and conditioning them for their eventual salvation.

Economy -
Black Friday numbers are in and though they exceeded 2020, they have fallen short of desired levels. Traffic at retail stores on Black Friday dropped 28.3% compared with 2019 levels, according to preliminary data from Sensormatic Solutions. Online, retailers rang up $8.9 billion in sales on Black Friday, down from the record of about $9 billion spent on the Friday after Thanksgiving a year earlier, according to data from Adobe Analytics. It marked the first time ever that growth reversed from the prior year, Adobe said. Adobe analyzes more than one trillion visits to U.S. retail sites, with over 100 million items in 18 different product categories.
OBSERVATION - Some are attributing the numbers to shoppers starting earlier rather than waiting until after thanksgiving. This year there was much buzz about shortages of items so consumers were further encouraged to shop earlier. Not sure if economists have looked at the change in pre black Friday sales this year vs previous years to confirm this assumption or not.
Some oil analysts are warning that biden’s release of strategic oil reservers will brutally backfire and cause prices to rise near $100 / barrel. Currently oil prices are regaining losses from Friday as a result of the Omicron virus scare.
Meanwhile the Biden-Harris administration issued a report Friday to increase the price of oil leasing fees on federal lands in the United States by 50 percent.
OBSERVATION - So what is biden wanting to do? Increase or decrease oil prices. I think these actions are deliberate - they what to push them higher.
Aluminum can manufactures are warning that a shortage of material may impact some sectors of the beer industry, specifically the craft beer industry. Because of the aluminum can shortage, major can suppliers have been forced to reduce their shipments to smaller-scale breweries, focusing on the canning needs for larger corporations such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch, and Molson Coors. For smaller craft beer breweries to get cans, they have to order larger quantities - hard to do because of the expense. Craft beer isn’t the only Aluminum can consumer hit. Monster type energy drinks are facing similar supply shortages.

China -
In the wake of the ongoing Evergrande crisis, China is struggling to stabilize the property markets by trying to restart construction projects put on hold due to lack of funds. Emphasis is being place on local governments to encourage and fund new construction via sales of local government special bonds. So are the efforts have been sluggish and the Evergrande property bubble remains looming large.
Defense Minister Peter Dutton has warned that all Australian major cities are within range of Chinese missiles and claims the conquest of Taiwan will be the first domino to fall in a campaign by Beijing to dominate the Indo-Pacific region.
In the most aggressive anti-China speech by an Australian minister in decades, Mr Dutton said on Friday the world could not repeat the mistakes of the 1930s when Western powers ignored the rapid militarisation of Japan and Germany.
IN RELATED - On Friday Australia’s Defense Minister Peter Dutton called out China for stationing a spy ship opposite of Australian military bases. Just prior to his remarks the Aussie government revealed this weekend that a Chinese spy ship was recently observed spying along the Australian coast line, where it stayed for three weeks.
OBSERVATION - China has repeatedly threatened Australia with nuclear attacks should it rally to support any action against Taiwan.

Russia -
Russia now states that it will invade Ukraine if “provoked”. Additionally, it warns that further reinforcement of NATO assets in Ukraine would be interpreted as a threat to invade Russia.
OBSERVATION - Russia/Putin have been paranoid since the fall of the Soviet Union of NATO forces moving into former Soviet bloc countries like Ukraine and Poland and placing what they view as invasion forces on its door step. Some analysts look at Russia’s current aggressive moves are balanced against that fear. In the cases of Belarus and Ukraine, Russia has able to place a favorable essentially puppet government in the former, but failed in the latter. The removal of the pro-Russia Ukraine government was quickly followed by Russian seizure of Crimea and the ‘separatist’ war in eastern Ukraine. The overall Russian goal is a buffer from western forces. NATO deployment into Poland (NATO member) and Ukraine (NATO wanna be) is one of those red lines spoken of.
Erdogan officially announced that Turkey is ready to become a mediator between Russia and Ukraine. Interesting offer based on the love/hate relationship that has developed over the past few years between it and Russia.
The combat effectiveness of Russia’s MiG-31 interceptors will triple after repair and upgrade, representatives of the Sokol aircraft plant reported to the Deputy Defense Minister Aleksey Krivoruchko. “And the modernization, which is carried out with the complete replacement of onboard radio-electronic equipment with modern samples and provides for the use of modern aviation weapons, approximately triples the combat effectiveness of the aircraft,” he said.
OBSERVATION - These are old fourth generation fighters that have languished over the years. Given economic constraints, Russia believes it is more economical to retrofit these planes with new electronics than create new planes to replace them. Even with the upgrades, the MiG-31 platform has shortcomings. However, it would be good against regions/militaries of the world with lesser quality aircraft.

Fighting continues in the Idlb region, with daily artillery/airstrikes against anti-syrian forces with reply by anti-syrian forces. I haven’t noted this lately because levels are at one could consider ‘normal’ These attacks haven’t changed land controlled but are a means of attrition used by both sides. Almost equivalent to a WW1 trench warfare scenario.

According to “Motolko Help” the entire Belarusian 6th Separate Guard Mechanized Brigade, will move to the Ukrainian border in full force with a full set of weapons as soon as today.
OBSERVATION - See Russia above discussions. Belarus serves as a very critical terrain for Russian forces. It provides access to the northern flank of Ukraine as well as directly to Poland and the Baltic Nations. It is an example of a“buffer” state Russia seeks to have on its western borders.
