Upcoming meetings of importance
- WHO pandemic ‘treaty’ May 2024
***
Schwab announced his intentions to step down as executive chairman in an email to staff on Tuesday that was shared with Semafor by a person connected to the organization.
The change in his role is pending approval by the Swiss government but should be finalized ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in 2025.
Schwab, now 86, will be transitioning to a role as non-executive chairman.
OBSERVATION - There is no clue as to who will be replacing him, however, his family holds multiple high level positions in the WEF, ensuring that his legacy will remain intact and the guiding force for the globalist cause.
That he is stepping down at such a pivotal moment of the WEFs efforts at world control is interesting to ponder, as he is the face of WEF.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
One filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
“Should FPOTUS [Trump] arrive at MAL [Mar-a-Lago], FBI MM EM and OSCs will be prepared to engage with FPOTUS and USSS Security Team.”
“Should USSS provide resistance or interfere with FBI timeline or accesses, FBI MM EM will engage with [redacted] and [redacted] will engage with USSS POC’s per existing liaison relationships.” (they had an onsite medical team available in case it got deadly!!!!)
Merrick Garland PERSONALLY APPROVED the raid on Mar-A-Lago
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/breaking-newly-unsealed-doc-reveals-biden-fbi-authorized/
The FBI on Tuesday evening issued a rare statement after court documents revealed the Bureau was authorized to use deadly force when it raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. In the statement the FBI claimed the authorization of deadly force on former President Trump is just “standard protocol.”
OBSERVATION - This shows just how dangerous the regime has become - willing to have govt agents shoot to kill a former president. Many who know better is saying that this so called “standard protocol” is nothing more than a steaming pile of bovine excrament. Heavy handed FBI/DoJ tactics on other deemed hostile to the regime makes it clear that these agencies have fallen into the dark side. Nothing would start a hot CW2 quicker than FBI shooting Trump.
The fact that they had on site medical teams anticipating shooting is further damning.
It is apparent that the DoJ/Biden regime was actually HOPING that something would happen.
One of my greatest concerns in the months leading up to the Nov elections is an attempt on the life of Trump. Never would have i considered the govt itself seeking a situation where FBI was empowered to kill Trump. That river is behind us now and it is apparent now more than ever that the regime will stoop to what ever acts necessary to retain power and prevent the re-election of Trump. Along these lines I see three disturbing potentials -
1 One of the kangaroo courts ruling against trump and attempting to have him jailed with no bail on appeals. Then bad things can happen in the prision/jail.
2 Assignation attempt(s) prior to the election and potential extra-legal actions by the now rogue and treasonous DoJ and its FBI brownshirts against Trump going beyond the current law fare.
3 Post election period where biden, with his last remaining months in office, ignites some sort of national crisis in order to declare martial law and prevent Trump from taking office in January 2026.
Each one could trigger a hot CW2 scenario.
Never in my life did I ever think I’ve have to be looking at these possibilities.
Economy-
The median US home sale price hits a new record high of $433,558 in April 2024.
The median sale price increased 6.2% year-over-year due to a lack of new listings, according to Redfin.
On the other hand, the total number of houses available for sale sits at a 4-year high but largely due to many homes being overpriced.
Meanwhile, the median household income in the US was $75,000 in 2023.
OBSERVATION - Housing market continues to be sick and an impediment to any economic recovery.
POLITICAL FRONT –
July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL
***
Trump’s NYC trial is going to the jury.
Smith’s days in the classified document trial may be numbered as released court documents paint an increasing picture of gross corruption and incompetence by Smith.
Biden / Harris Watch –
AP reports that Biden is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from a Northeast reserve in a bid to lower prices at the pump.
Using our national security measures to buy votes.
Illegal Immigration –
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will bring the Senate Border Act back to the Senate floor on Thursday after it stalled in the House earlier this year.
OBSERVATION - Basically, this bill ‘permits’ over 1 million illegals to enter the county every year, spends billions in freebies to these illegals and promises to ‘close’ the border - with no means to do so - if crossings exceed 4000/day.
It is election political pandering to try to flip the current view of the American people that the democrats are the cause of the current illegal crisis.
***
(FO) According to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) National Drug Threat Assessment 2024, the Sinaloa Cartel and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) have a presence in all fifty U.S. states and have “effectively eliminated” any competition in the United States.
The report said the Sinaloa Cartel primarily purchases fentanyl and methamphetamine precursor chemicals from China through a variety of methods, but India is emerging as a major source country for chemical precursors.
OBSERVATION - The natural result of no effective border control. We already knew a lot of this from recent reports of heavy cartel presence on Indian Reservations.
Russia -
*****
Russian authorities have made a unilateral decision to change the sea borders of Russia with Lithuania and Finland in the Baltic Sea. This follows from the draft government resolution published on the portal of legal acts of the Russian Federation.
According to the document drafted by the Russian defense ministry, Russia intends to declare part of the water area in the east of the Gulf of Finland, as well as near the cities of Baltiysk and Zelenogradsk in the Kaliningrad region as its internal sea waters.
OBSERVATION - Some are noting that Russia did something similar in regards to Ukraine and the Black Sea just prior to the invasion. The rubber will hit the road is Russia attempts to enforce these declarations.
***
Russia last week launched a satellite that U.S. intelligence officials believe to be a weapon capable of inspecting and attacking other satellites, the U.S. Space Command said on Tuesday as the Russian spacecraft trails a U.S. spy satellite in orbit.
Russia’s Soyuz rocket blasted off from its Plesetsk launch site some 500 miles (800 km) north of Moscow on May 16, deploying in low-Earth orbit at least nine satellites including COSMOS 2576, a type of Russian military “inspector” spacecraft U.S. officials have long condemned as exhibiting reckless space behavior.
“We have observed nominal activity and assess it is likely a counterspace weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit,” a USSPACECOM spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/space-russia/2024/05/21/id/1165657/
OBSERVATION - Space is becoming more and more militarized. Those who laughed at Trump’s creation of a Space Command are now silenced to the fact that he recognized the growing threat and the need for a unified command to address it. The fact that democrats under biden have created a cluster of the operation proves it further.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs continue in the 70’s and fair.
RUMINT –
NATO reportedly ruminating about sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces.
Further rumors that Ukraine is about ready to launch a counter attack into the Russia advances north of Kharkiv.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Another day of fierce fighting along the eastern front. Russian Ministry of Defense claims Klischiivka, located south of Chaziv Yar, as being captured by Russian troops. Russian missiles also apparently have hit Dinpro, Kharkiv and Sumy.
Outlook —
Another day of hard fighting on the fronts. Russian successes in their spring offensive are slowing very quickly and perhaps Ukraine now has the capability to launch some limited counter attacks in the Kharkiv region. As noted in previous posts, Russia is approaching its high water make on the current offensive.
Both countries are probably calculating their next round of deep attacks, so the results of those attacks will have to be seen after they occur. For Russia, the clock is running out as resupply of ADA systems and munitions are being rushed into country.
The final big question mark is when US will give approval for Ukraine to use systems like ATACAMS to strike Russian territory proper. That could be a major game changer, forcing Russia to widely restructure its logistics, command and troop locations, and distributions.
Europe / NATO General –
Some European nations recognizing a palestinian “state”.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Norway, Ireland and Spain announced recognition of a palestinian ‘state’.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
Norway, Ireland and Spain have announced that they will recognize the presence of a Palestinian ‘state’. Governments of Slovenia, Belgium, Norway and Malta are expected to follow throughout the week.
Israel recalls its ambassadors from European countries that recognize a Palestinian state, freezing money transfer to the Palestinian Authority
***
The AP said Israeli authorities had shut down its live camera feed showing Gaza and seized its equipment in what it decried as an “abusive use by the Israeli government of the country’s new foreign broadcasters law.” The equipment was later returned.
***
None of the aid that President Joe Biden has sent to Gaza via a floating pier that the U.S. Military constructed has reached the Palestinian people, a U.S. official said this week.
Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said on Tuesday that none of the 569 tons of aid transported to Gaza since last week has reached the Palestinian people.
Other reports state in general that Hamas has succeeded in stealing as much as 70% of the aid that has come into Gaza since the war began.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Intense fighting reported in the center of Rafah as the IDF expands operations there.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Jordanian Foreign Minister: We appreciate the decision of European countries to recognize the Palestinian state
The Secretary-General of the Arab League calls on countries that do not recognize Palestine to follow the example of Norway, Ireland and Spain
——— FORECAST ————————-
Operations throughout Gaza and in particular Rafah continue.
The recognitions of a palestinian ‘state’ by some European countries will be drawing lines in the sand as such recognition carries little in the way oction. Norway, Ireland and Spain are all currently anti-Israeli to begin with. I’ve not seen just what territory this so called ‘state’ entails, but it likely uses the radical pre-1967 borders as a starting point. Pro-hamas elements in the UN may eventually be able to leverage these declarations for leverage in the Security Council.
Iran –
No internal Iranian talk about any Israeli involvement in the helicopter crash over the weekend.
It's breathtaking to see how quickly we devolved to a despotic banana republic. Reminds me of the old saw:
"How did you go bankrupt?"
"Gradually, then suddenly."
Look at those possibilities and even expand your mind to encompass worse ones.
Things like: Grid down for years. 97% fatal Covid. Global famine. AI Superintelligence deciding all humans are a threat.
If you're like most of us YOU never thought you would see this in the United States of American. And if that thug Biden or one of the other thugs and goons of the Democrat party wins - this will be only the beginning of the horrors, show trials, and degradation of our legal system and of all we've held dear about our country.
This will be my last post until Monday of next week. Will be on the road for Memorial Day.
Meanwhile, after posting this I’ll be pullout out my snow shovel to deal with the joys of spring time here in the Redoubt and shovel my sidewalk from the latest snowstorm :)
Globalism / Great Reset –
Upcoming meetings of importance
- WHO pandemic ‘treaty’ May 2024
***
JPMorgan Chase is planning to rollout a biometric payment system and make it available to all U.S. retailers by early next year. This will enable shoppers to make purchases without pulling physical paper (fiat currency) or plastic (credit/debit cards) out of their wallets. All they will need to do is submit to having their palms or faces scanned upon entry into a retail store.
OBSERVATION - Biometrics as a means to secure the digital ID and credit system trudges on under the push by WEF/globalist affiliated mega corporations like JPMorgan. They will push this forward, incrementally, until the full policy is in effect with no other options. And by doing so, bypass reluctant governmental institutions.
***
House republicans are demanding details concerning the impending WHO pandemic ‘treaty’. I don’t expect any response from the WH any time this decade on that request.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
Some unidentified, unnamed ‘source’ in the FBI claims that lethal measures order was also given when biden’s homes were searched. The level of skepticism broke the meter.
***
13 countries in Oregon have now voted to join Idaho, consisting of about 2/3 of the area of the state. This action joins similar movements in Washington State (Liberty State) and Kalifornia. Any real split is years down the road and will be fought legislatively and legally tooth and nail by the leftists in the uber-blue urban concentrations along the coast.
Personally, I’d like to see a completely separate state be formed. There would be some shifting in the House, but the big one would likely be the solidification of additionally conservative republicans in the Senate - potentially shifting the power away from the democrats for a generation.
Economy-
Federal Reserve officials said earlier this month that they are prepared to raise interest rates again if inflation doesn’t show further signs of cooling, according to minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting released on Wednesday.
“Various participants mentioned a willingness to tighten policy further should risks to inflation materialize in a way that such an action became appropriate,” the minutes said.
The minutes also highlighted that several participants believe household and business spending may need to decline for inflation to sustainably reach the Fed’s two percent goal.
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/05/22/fed-minutes-may/
OBSERVATION - If household and business spending decline more - we will definite collapse into a hard recession. There are so many sectors of the economy that were damaged from the plandemic and follow-on policies of the Fed and the regime that it will take years to untangle. The high fed rates alone are bleeding the economy hard and fast already.
Further note - IF the fed continues to freeze the rate or even raise it to deal with the rising inflation rate - you can bet your retirement fund that Wall Street will freakout and take a plunge, as many WS speculators are counting on rate decreases in the near future - keeping the market high.
POLITICAL FRONT –
July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL
***
My bad, yesterday I said the Trump hush money trial was going to the jury. Actually, closing arguments are set for next week before that happens.
***
As it stands right now, biden will not appear on Ohio’s November presidential ballot without major intervention by the DNC and potential court challenges. Will Ohio’s republicans show backbone or collapse? The republican controlled Ohio legislature current is unwilling to make a change in the law to accommodate the DNCs much later than usual national convention.
Biden / Harris Watch –
biden announced that he is canceling $7.7 billion in student debt for 160,000 borrowers. This in a gross violation of the USSC judgement against the practice. Nothing will happen- as the US under the leftists are slipping into a new - lawlessness realm.. Or rather, a “new” law realm.
Illegal Immigration –
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said it is not Joe Biden’s job to secure the US border amid an invasion of millions of military-age men from the most dangerous parts of the world.
“Why should he have to do it unilaterally?” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Jacqui Heinrich replied, “He took unilateral action before to undo [President Trump’s border security]!”

Reports that Kalifornia is becoming the hot spot for illegal penetrations. What is also being reported around the inter webs is that the predominant illegal demographic entering are from middle eastern and asia (china) and fewer latin american illegals.
China –
China launched exercise Joint Sword 2024A, surrounding Taiwan from all directions. Chinese media reports the exercise will be held from 23-24 May & focuses on “joint sea-air combat-readiness patrols, joint seizure of comprehensive battlefield control, & joint precision strikes on key targets.”
China has reportedly begun live fire drills surrounding Taiwan, including its outlying islands such as Kinmen. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command stated that the drills are “a strong punishment for the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces and a stern warning against the interference and provocation by external forces”.
Taiwan’s military is responding to Chinese exercises by deploying supersonic Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) anti-ship missile batteries & air defense systems around Taiwan.
45 PLA aircraft were detected around the island—26 crossed the ADIZ & came as close as 41 nautical miles. Largest incursion of the year. 15 Navy ship, 16 Coast Guard ships are also in the region.
The Taiwanese Coast Guard and Chinese navy are currently having a standoffs in the Taiwan Strait
OBSERVATION -
This is a significant exercise by itself. The deployment of Chinese forces clearly shows the concept towards a blockade of the Island versus a direct, amphibious assault. The last exercise of this size was the one after pelosi visited the island.
I’ve noted the goals and intent of theses Chinese exercises for a while now, but in summary they ‘
1. Normalize large-scale activity around Taiwan, to deceive about future intentions.
2. Bullies and seeks to coerce the democratic government of Taiwan.
3. Projects an air of “inevitability” to the region/world about its eventual takeover of Taiwan.
One aggressive action that may soon happen is the seizure of the Taiwan administered island of Kinmen, located very close to the mainland. That seizure would be another tool to place pressure on Taiwan to acquiesce or surrender to Chinese terms.
A potential flash point in this exercise is the maneuvering of Chinese naval / coast guard assets into Taiwanese controlled regions. As noted above, Chinese vessels have been warned to stay back. Water cannons won’t be used, but real cannons could.
China has the capability to mount a significant blockade of Taiwan right now as well as seize Kinmen Island. I’m on the lookout to see what the Chinese Naval order of battle for this exercise is and in particular the deployment of any of the aircraft carriers.
Russia -
NUCLEAR THREATS –
Russia is conducting a tactical nuclear drill near Ukraine, an exercise announced about two weeks ago. An example of putin’s “escalate to de-escalate’ policy is designed to be a warning against growing NATO involvement in the Ukraine war and potential use of weapon systems in direct attacks on Russian territory.
***
Russia’s top arms control diplomat Wednesday dismissed as fake news an assertion by the United States that Russia had launched a weapon into low-Earth orbit that was capable of inspecting and attacking other satellites.
The Kremlin has flatly denied assertions by U.S. officials that Moscow is developing a space-based anti-satellite nuclear weapon. But on Tuesday, U.S. Space Command said Russia had launched an anti-satellite weapon.
Russia’s actions in space conformed to international law, the Kremlin said Wednesday.

Russian Military Trains have recently been spotted near the City of Yefremov in the Tula Region heading Southeast towards the Border with the Sumy Region of Northeastern Ukraine. The equipment all have the new tactical marking seen recently during Russian Offensive operations in the Kharkiv Region suggesting that there may be a similar operation into the Sumy Region.
Some OSINT observers are noting a similarity to the build-up prior to the start of the war.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs continue in the 70’s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Russian Ministry of Defense claims control over Andriyivka village of Donetsk region, southeast of Chasiv Yar.
“Generic” missile strikes in Dnipro and Kharkiv.
Fighting continues to be fierce in the Ocheretyne and Chasiv Yar regions.
Outlook —
From current reports, it seems that Russian action are shifting somewhat in the Chasiv Yar region to the south, concentrating on a potential attempt to by pass to a degree Ukraine defenses and further stretch Ukraine forces. Two towns in that area have fallen to Russian forces in the last few days supporting that observation.
Potential Russian push into and towards Sumy may be building up. If it is in the cards, such an action may be weeks away though I don’t currently have good numbers on the present force buildup - possibly again in the neighborhood of 40,000. The big question is did the bureaucrats pocket the money that was supposed to be put into building defensive barriers like what appears to have happened in Kharkiv, or have they properly constructed barriers and defensive positions?
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Operations continue to expand in Rafah.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.

The International Court of Justice will issue its decision tomorrow, Friday, regarding the request for a ceasefire in Gaza
***
Videos have been released showing Hamas capturing and abusing female Israeli soldiers.

The U.S. has established an air defense system at the Gaza pier. Pictures posted by multiple sources online show what appears to be a C-RAM system being present at the pier.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
The Israeli army is expanding its operations in Rafah to new areas and approaches the city center. Israeli troops advanced into Rafah’s Brazil and Shaboura neighborhoods, following “information on terror targets in the area,” the military says. The Israeli army says the operation in Rafah is being carried out in an “accurate manner while preventing harm to the civilian population as much as possible, after the civilians have evacuated the area
Renewed violent clashes between Hamas fighters and Israeli forces inside Jenin camp in N Gaza.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
About 30 missiles were launched from southern Lebanon towards Israeli positions in the Upper Galilee
Israel army says it has killed a senior Hezbollah official who was in charge of developing strategic weapons in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near the town of Kafr Dajjal, just south of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah confirms the killing of one of its members in an Israeli raid on Nabatieh.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The Commander of the Revolutionary Guard reportedly met with representatives of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and Hezbollah.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Germany said Wednesday it will abide by an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and detain Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he step foot on German soil.
——— FORECAST ————————-
Operations throughout Gaza and in particular Rafah continue at a high tempo and will continue to do so for the immediate future. Not noted in many of my posts but present in UN et al complaints are Israeli attacks on hospitals. Like demonstrated before, Hamas likely has occupied the hospitals for military bases, removing protections.
IRGC meeting up with the various “Islamic Resistance” factions is likely two fold. One is to re-establish command relations that have been degraded by Israeli attacks (IRGC and Hezbollah in particular) as well as to try to stimulate more actions by the ‘resistance’, or at least look at other avenues of attack.
Central / South America General-
Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa declared a new state of emergency in seven provinces on Wednesday.
A rising number of violent deaths and crimes was cited as the reason for the measure in Guayas, El Oro, Santa Elena, Manabi, Sucumbios, Orellana and Los Rios provinces, and one area of the Azuay province.
The measure will be in effect for 60 days according to a decree signed by the Noboa.
A state of emergency was declared in January after Jose Adolfo Macias, a dangerous drug boss, escaped from maximum security detention.
The president said the country was in a an, “internal armed conflict” and ordered the army to “neutralize” 22 criminal groups.
However, the Constitutional Court ruled the previous emergency declaration in five provinces was not sufficiently justified.
OBSERVATION - January, Ecuador was almost borderline civil war. The escape of Macias sparked significant fighting between a relatively unified (under Macias) gang army and govt forces. After a couple weeks of fighting the gangs were partially defeated. Now having regrouped, gangs have been pressing for control again. Ecuador is also attempting to duplicate the successful anti-gang program of El Salvador, which has made that country one of the safest in the region.
Reality for the US is that the narco-terrorist element has been growing almost exponentially in the US due to the open border policy of biden, and similar conflicts here in the US may soon be on the way.
