CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT

Poster “redactor’ on “X” posted this observation -

“Impending conflict in the U.S. looms, warns @JJCarrell14 , a 24-year Customs and Border Protection veteran. He reveals a dire scenario stemming from #Biden’s “border invasion,” hitting Black communities hardest, starting in #Chicago.”

OBSERVATION - I’ve been posting of the increasing friction between the black community - particularly in Chicago, but other major cities as well - and illegals. This friction is largely over the benefits the illegals are receiving as well as the priority they are receiving over the local blacks. Black civil rights leaders don’t like losing the clout as illegals and their benefactors cut into their piece of the action. Black officials are on record planning protests/riots at the DNC convention later this August in Chicago.

The left regaled in rising George Floyd to deity last week as part of the 4th year anniversary of his death. Literally calling him a second Jesus Christ. It has been reported that a relatively famous painting of him on a business wall has been hit by lighting - destroying the work. Coincidence?

***
There are some indicators that organizers of the campus take overs may be looking to move them onto high visibility public property may be in the offing. College/university campuses have lost some viability due to summer recess and in some cases harsh pushback by administration.

***
Many Memorial Day events were disrupted and in some cases cancelled due to pro-hamas protests and threats of protest. From the reports I’ve seen, violence was mild. I would expect similar to occur around the 4th of July. Stay tuned to local news.


Terrorism - Heightened THREAT as of May 6, 2024

National security is being jeopardized by a wave of Chinese and Russian nationals sneaking onto US military bases, a top Navy admiral has warned.
US Fleet Forces Commander Daryl Caudle said that attempted infiltrations are happening ‘two or three times a week’ at Navy bases alone.

More than 100 attempts were made by Chinese nationals alone last year, with the perpetrators often claiming to be innocent tourists when caught.

‘This is something we see probably two or three times a week, where we’re stopping these folks at the gate, and this is just the Navy alone,’ Caudle said
‘And usually, the cover story is I’m a student, I’m an enthusiast I want to see the ships that type of thing. ‘We have to turn them around and typically we will get the NCIS involved we will get biometrics of possible.’

Concern about Beijing’s intentions has ballooned in response to an 8,000 percent increase in Chinese nationals known to have crossed the southern border in the last three years.

https://endtimeheadlines.org/2024/05/navy-admiral-warns-russian-and-chinese-nationals-are-trying-to-infiltrate-us-military-bases/#google_vignette

OBSERVATION - Probing attacks, particularly by Chinese, are very concerning. This given the fact that it is being reported now that since Oct 2023 some 30,000 Chinese have illegally entered the country.

***
More details on this story -

On May 3, 2024, two illegal Chechen immigrants were caught on the rural property of a Special Ops colonel near Fort Liberty (Bragg). One of them, Daraev, was allegedly photographing the colonel’s kids and became “aggressive” when approached. The colonel shot and killed him. The other was detained, questioned, and released.

The two Chechens are allegedly utility workers but neither had tools, uniforms, or identification related to the company they supposedly work for, Utilities One.

Now apparently, the colonel who shot the Chechen had set up his own cameras and had seen the men on his property several times before.

The CEO of Utilities One, Serghei Busmachiu, is from Moldova. Other officials from the company appear to be Eastern European.
Busmachiu moved to the U.S. in 2013 and worked as a busboy and spent time selling ice in Alaska. How does a busboy/ice salesman save enough money to open a utility company in just three years?

Utilities One released a statement morning the ‘loss’ of Daraev.

https://pjmedia.com/kevindowneyjr/2024/05/27/update-more-on-the-chechen-shot-by-a-special-ops-colonel-n4929369#google_vignette

OBSERVATION - This obviously stinks to high heaven. Utilities One operating as a cover for probable terrorist cells. This level of action against a senior special operations officer is serious stuff - indicating that there is intelligence collection on their family members for what i believe would be potential kidnapping and other terror to sideline special ops from responding to a national emergency.

Between the Russian (Chechen), Chinese and Iranian / radical moslems that have entered the country in great numbers illegally during the past 4 year, there are red flags all over. Meanwhile FBI is going after peaceful protestors instead of these real threats.


Economy-

Growing talk that the Fed will maintain its current interest rates thru the summer season. Wall Street had been hoping for some level of decrease during the period.


Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics –

The United States and Europe are taking steps to acquire or manufacture H5N1 bird flu vaccines that could be used to protect at-risk poultry and dairy workers, veterinarians and lab technicians, government officials said, moves influenza experts say could curb the threat of a pandemic.

U.S officials last week said they were moving bulk vaccine from CSL Seqirus that closely matches the current virus into finished shots that could provide 4.8 million doses of vaccine. European health officials told Reuters they were in talks to acquire CSL’s prepandemic vaccine.

Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, said she has been in discussions with U.S. and Canadian officials about using vaccines to protect workers following the virus’ spread into new mammal species.

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-european-nations-consider-vaccinating-workers-exposed-bird-flu-2024-05-27/

OBSERVATION - All too convenient timing. A new presidential election cycle and the WHO encountering turbulence in getting their desired pandemic ‘treaty’ passed. Expect more fear mongering.


POLITICAL FRONT –

July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL

***

The conditions being set for the jury in the Trump conspiracy trial are making it very easy to obtain a guilty verdict, almost demanding it. The big question is will a juror(s) stand up for what’s right and put the breaks on. The visuals of Trump being ordered to jail have massive potential for blow back against the left as well as move more conservative towards more aggressive posture and preparedness.


Biden / Harris Watch –

At Memorial Day events biden displayed even more physical weakness and mental disorientation. Once again compared Beau’s death to cancer as equal the loss of loved ones from combat.


Illegal Immigration –

Media noting that the number of illegals crossing the border significantly dropped last month. Waiting to see better numbers to confirm.


North/South Korea –

Japan issued an alert telling its residents to take cover after North Korea launched a rocket allegedly carrying its second military spy satellite on Monday night.

The rocket launch came just hours after the country’s announcement of a plan to put a satellite into orbit drew strong rebukes from its neighbors.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected a launch trajectory believed to be a spy satellite fired from the North’s main space center at 10:44pm on Monday.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13464605/North-Korea-launches-rocket-carrying-spy-satellite-triggering-missile-alert-Japan.html

The launch failed when an upper stage blew up.


Japan –

See North/South Korea above.


Ukraine –

WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80’s and fair.

24 HOUR ROUND UP –

Relatively slow night with Ukrainian air defense shooting down 3 Shahed drones overnight. Meanwhile, Ukrainian missiles / drones of some sort made a major impact on Luhansk

Ocheretyne -
Intensity of fighting along this salient has increased in recent days.

Bakhmut / Chasiv Yar -

Russian gains have stopped for over a week in this front, only minor attacks of late.

Kupyansk axis -

Action along this front has matured over the past month, with attacks across a broad front which is centered east of Svatov.

Kharkiv Front -

Fighting continues to focus on Vovchansk, which Russian now appear to have control of most of the city.

Outlook —

Russia continues the push in Eastern Ukraine, but progress is significantly slowing. In part due to the substantial losses suffered by Russia, in part to Ukraine reinforcements and critical ammo resupply. With ammo, Ukraine can once again do what it has done best - interdicting Russian forces and their logistics before those forces reach the Ukraine lines. And when they do, decimating them with accurate fire.

The change in Russian tactics plays this out to some degree with some Russian assault elements attempting to rush to the Ukraine position via motorcycles and ATVs - moving faster than artillery can adjust - dismounting and digging in - with now significant armor/tank support. An interesting modification to the ‘meat attack’ that have been a major tactic to far.

I foresee no real breakouts in the near term as Russian has been losing the initiative for the past couple weeks now and has committed much of its reserve forces to sustain the success they have gained.


Europe / NATO General –

Six members of NATO reportedly are planning to construct a “drone wall” to prevent provocation and smuggling by Russia, the Financial Times reported.
Ministers from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Poland joined over the weekend for talks about a joint operation to block Russian aggression and smuggling efforts. The Times noted that each of the countries has faced “hybrid attacks” by Russia, such as the alleged smuggling of war criminals and soldiers across the border into Finland and other European countries.
“This is a completely new thing — a drone wall stretching from Norway to Poland, and the goal is to use drones and other technologies to protect our borders,” Lithuania’s interior minister Agnė Bilotaitė told Baltic News Service.

ISRAEL –

Key overnight developments -

- The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting later on Tuesday to discuss Sunday’s strike.

- Growing operations into the center of Rafah.

——— GENERAL ——————————-

Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.

***

Considerable blowout from the Rafah strike that ended up spreading to a tent ‘refugee’ area. Contrary to the popular anti-Israeli spin, video of the strike clearly show that there were very large secondary explosions that spread into the tent area. Audible fear from the background voices of rockets igniting and firing. All indicate that the strike also set off munitions storage of some sort. Storing munitions in a ‘civilian’ area by Hamas is a war crime.

***
The Biden administration told Israel to take every precaution to protect civilians after a military strike in Rafah killed dozens of Palestinians, as it faced calls from some fellow Democrats to halt military shipments to Israel.
“Israel has a right to go after Hamas, and we understand this strike killed two senior Hamas terrorists who are responsible for attacks against Israeli civilians,” a National Security Council spokesperson said. “But as we’ve been clear, Israel must take every precaution possible to protect civilians.

https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/strike-rafah/2024/05/27/id/1166356/

***
The pier the US constructed in N Gaza continues to have serious problems and is partially braking apart under current conditions. Damage appears to be sufficient enough to shut down resupply operations. Claims that it is ‘sinking” are over stated.

Not the that relief supplies are doing any good and Hamas confiscates them almost immediately with none reaching UN distribution points.

——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-

Israeli tanks were reported operating in central Rafah overnight.

Continued hammering of Hamas clusters in central and N Gaza.

——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-

A barrage of some 35 rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Mount Meron area in northern Israel yesterday, the military says. The Israeli army says the rockets struck open areas, and there are no reports of injuries.

———WEST BANK——————————-

Israeli security forces engaged in over a dozen actions throughout the West Bank region.

———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————

US Central Command: We destroyed a drone launched by the Houthis over the Red Sea.

Earlier, the Houthis said on Monday they launched attacks on three ships in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, and two US destroyers in the Red Sea.

The threat of attacks have forced shippers to re-route cargo to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa.

———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-

Irish Foreign Minister Micheál Martin is quoted as saying that he and his EU counterparts had a “significant” discussion about the possibility of levying sanctions on Israel if it fails to comply with “international humanitarian law.”
“For the first time at an EU meeting, in a real way, I’ve seen significant discussion on sanctions and ‘what if,’” Martin is quoted as saying by Politico.
He qualifies that there is “some distance between people articulating the need for a sanctions-based approach if Israel does not comply with the ICJ’s ruling … to agreement in the Council meeting, given all of the different perspectives there.”

https://harbingersdaily.com/israel-at-war-week-32/

——— FORECAST ————————-

Israel will continue to be hammered on the PR front for actions in Gaza. Basically, the anti-Israel globalist view is that the terrorists can hide out in the middle of “non-combatants” and fire on Israelis and Israel cannot do anything in return.

Add to this that recent recovered remains of Israeli hostages have been found in UN facilities just shows the gross bias and hypocrisy of the globalists who are in no way neutral in this fight.

So far Israel is not having anything of this and is pressing on with taking the fight to the terrorists where ever they find them.

Hezbollah has stepped up some rocket attacks of late, but the scale suggests that they are more retaliatory for Israeli strikes taking out senior leadership and not so much to divert Israeli efforts in Gaza.

The Houthi continue to project enough of a threat in the Red Sea that commercial shipping is continuing to divert around Africa, raising prices for goods globally.

I expect continued global anti-Israeli rhetoric and even sanction efforts towards Israel. Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel has counted the cost and is going forward with its operations anyway.


Iran –

Reports are coming out that Iran has increased its inventory of 60% purified Uranium. Scientists/experts note that making the final jump to weapons grade 90% purity is well within Iran’s capability. Whether or not Iran takes that next step is not in question - only the timing.


Saudi Arabia –

The Biden administration is expected to end a ban on the sale of offensive weapons to a country that the president once described as a “pariah,” according to Financial Times.
The U.S. has indicated to Saudi Arabian officials that it is willing and able to lift the moratorium, according to Financial Times. President Joe Biden imposed the ban on sales to Saudi Arabia shortly after taking office in 2021 due to the country’s excesses in its nine year-old war against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen

As a candidate for president on the campaign trail, Biden called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state and asserted that they are “murdering children” in Yemen, according to Financial Times. Saudi Arabia is typically among the world’s leading purchasers of U.S. weaponry and defense equipment.

https://dailycaller.com/2024/05/27/biden-saudi-arabia-weapons-ban-lift-pariah/

OBSERVATION - This appears to be an attempt to paper over the damage the regime caused to US - Saudi relations early in the term. With Iran an ever greater threat, SA is more willing to cut some slack over US statements


Black Swans -

And he’s back . . . . .
Sunspot AR3664, which caused the historic May 10th superstorm, is returning following a two-week trip around the farside of the sun. It announced itself today with an X2.8-class solar flare. In the next few days it will be in position for earth - directed flare activity.

CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT

Rumblings from the far right on responses to any attempt to jail Trump on the banana republic hush money trial. Definite threat of conflict if the left tries to do a victory dance of sorts.

Trumps SS elements have made some primarily discussions with NY jail authorities. I don’t see this a capitulation but due diligence to keep the former president safe if this was to occur.


Economy-

More analysis showing that housing prices continue to climb to record levels.


POLITICAL FRONT –

July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL

***

The Mechan circus continues. Justice Merchan is required Trump defense to present his closing argument before he hears the prosecution’s claims against him. Many legal observers - including many on the left are still not sure what they’re claiming Trump did. He held court through 8 PM last night and it should go to the jury today.

***
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced that it will nominate incumbent President Joe Biden over a virtual call in order to get him on the ballot in Ohio. The move comes after Biden was facing the possibility of not being on the ballot in the rust belt state for the 2024 election.

https://thepostmillennial.com/new-dnc-to-hold-virtual-nomination-to-make-sure-joe-biden-can-qualify-for-ohio-ballot?utm_campaign=64487#google_vignette

OBSERVATION - Another reason for this nomination process is reportedly to avoid some sort of a floor fight at the convention.


Illegal Immigration –

The Supreme Court ruled today that Texas SB-4 law is constitutional which grants Txs the right to detain, arrest, and expel anyone crossing the Texas border illegally

OBSERVATION - This is big news for Texas and a growing number of other states that are looking at implicating or have implemented similar laws.


China –

With China’s latest exercise in blockading Taiwan winding down, analysts see more of the same exercises in the future. More disturbing is the appearance that China may well be accelerating its plans against Taiwan given the foreign and military policy chaos of the biden regime. An overt action may well cause Washington to seize up under too many global crises, giving China a window to establish the blockade and bolster it against threats to break it.


Russia -

*****

Putin threatens NATO countries representatives “not to play with statements on strikes on territory of Russia” He further warned that if Ukraine uses long-range weapons inside Russia, Russia will have to decide on extension of buffer zone.


Ukraine –

WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80’s and fair.

24 HOUR ROUND UP –

Ukrainian air defense shot down 13 of 14 Shahed drones. Multiple Shahed drones were noted over Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. Ukrainian drone attack was reported in Armavir, Russia.

Russian attacks notably picked up along the Kreminna -Savtov front and Ocheretyne.
Russian efforts on the Kharkiv axis are showing evidence of stalling out. Same for the Chaziv Yar axis.

There was a great deal of consternation yesterday at the revelation that Patriot units targeted and hit Russian aircraft over Russian territory earlier this year. The upset was that they didn’t keep their targeting strictly within the boundaries of Ukraine and disputed territory.

Outlook —
The Russian offensive continues to show signs that it is reaching its high water mark. Part of this also concerns rumors that Russia may view cease fire / peace talks that include retaining territory captured since 2022. So far there is no evidence of Ukrainian plans for a summer offensive like last year. Low stockpiles of munitions and difficulty in procuring manpower are likely key items.

With NATO elements encouraging Ukrainian strikes on Russia territory using western long range munitions growing, we could see Ukraine doing so in the next few weeks. So far Ukraine has fought the deep war with its smaller drones and limited missiles. Russia has benefitted by being able to lazily grouping its forces on the Russian border, immune from the potential devastation of a ATACMS or other strike. Should Ukraine be set free to target these areas, life for Russian forces would get very complicated fast.


Europe / NATO General –

Western countries should let Ukraine strike military bases inside Russia with the sophisticated long-range weapons they are providing to Kyiv, French President Emmanuel Macron said, pressuring his allies in the most recent sign of a potentially significant policy shift that could help change the complexion of the war.

The question of whether to allow Ukraine to hit targets on Russian soil with Western-supplied weaponry has been a delicate issue since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor in February 2022.
Western leaders have mostly shrunk from taking the step because it runs the risk of provoking Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly warned that the West’s direct involvement could put the world on a path to nuclear conflict.

His remarks came a day after NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged the alliance’s members to lift some of the restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons.

ISRAEL –

Key overnight developments -

- Fierce fighting reports in central Rafah

- Global outrage against Israel continues

——— GENERAL ——————————-

Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.

***

U.S. Defense Officials revealed today that after a severe storm this weekend off the coast of the Gaza Strip; a large section of the U.S. Army’s temporary-floating pier has “broken away” and drifted down the coast, with other sections of the pier having partially sunk in shallow waters. The pier, which was estimated to cost over $320 Million, is now inoperable with all further humanitarian aid shipments being halted. Portions of the pier are being moved to the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, where U.S. Central Command will repair it, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters.

***
Biden regime just announced that the US may end its support of Israel as IDF ground operations reach central Rafah.

***
The US does not believe Israel’s actions in Rafah amount to a “major ground operation” that could cross a red line for President Joe Biden and trigger a possible change in US policy, the White House has said.

Spokesman John Kirby addressed reporters hours after Israeli forces reached the centre of the city in southern Gaza, and reportedly seized a strategically important hill.

Mr Biden recently said he would limit weapons supplies to Israel if it entered Rafah’s “population centres”, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are still believed to be sheltering.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv22pl9p212o

——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-

Fighting throughout Gaza, with reported fierce battles taking place in central Rafah.

——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-

Israeli Channel 12 reports that several missiles launched from southern Lebanon landed in open areas near Shtoula in the western sector of the border.

———WEST BANK——————————-

Numerous Israeli security police raids throughout the west bank region and dozens of arrests of terror suspects.

———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-

Jordanian Foreign Minister: Spain’s recognition of the Palestinian state is evidence of its desire for stability in the region
Jordanian Foreign Minister: The future of the region must not remain in the hands of an extremist Israeli government

——— FORECAST ————————-

Israel is facing fighting on two fronts. One is in Gaza proper. The second is with anti-Israeli govts around the world that are using the loss of life in Rafah as a weapon to wield against it. We have more details of this reportedly genocidal disaster - judge for yourself.

It is apparent Israel hit a vehicle carrying high ranking Hamas leaders with a small missile launched from a drone - not the 2000 lb behemoth pro-hamas elements claim. Same munitions used for other pinpoint strikes.

That strike apparently set off munitions - probably some rockets - that created secondary exploding. Fragments of those secondaries shot some 100-200 meters, striking a fuel storage area near tented areas outside the protected zone. This tertiary explosion is what spread to the tents, killing dozens.

Not that all this matter at this in this media frenzy driven attack. War is hell and in some manner, the gazans brought much of this on themselves and continue to by allowing Hamas et al to set up operations in these safe havens (in addition to Hamas continuing to use hospitals and mosques for military purposes). I don’t see Israel capitulating to the global pressure any time soon. They are committed to the operation to eliminate Hamas and to bow to the misguided and flat our false accusations of the anti-israeli community would be a defacto win for Hamas.

biden regime has laid out new guide rails for its red line in Rafah. Israels current operations are well within those lines. So I expect continued operations throughout Gaza, and especially Rafah for the near future.

Long term implications are potential loss of support that will be critical when Israel turns north to deal with the threat posed by Hezbollah.


Iran –

Biden administration is pressing European allies to abstain from a censure vote against Iran at a June meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency. British and French officials told the Biden administration they would move forward with the censure vote and that it was time to draw a line.

OBSERVATION - 0bama and his underling biden have bent over backwards for Iran and its efforts to develop the bomb. Much of Europe is within range of Iranian missiles, so that a terror strike by Iran with a nuke is much more dangerous to them than the US.
This further exposes the deep planted pro-Iranian / radial islamic elements in the US govt who are pushing the policy.


Syria -

Not to forget, the Syrian civil war continues with Assad and affiliated forces continuing to indiscriminately bomb civilians in the Aleppo and Idlib regions.


Misc of Note –

Massive thunderstorms with tornadoes and large hail have caused extensive power blackouts throughout the lower mid-west and Texas region. All should take note of this and make appropriate preparations for alternative lighting and cooking methods should a natural disaster hit you.
