    Globalism / Great Reset –

    Dying With Dignity Canada, a euthanasia (actually, murder) activist group, believes that “maturity” rather than age should determine who is eligible for medical assistance in dying and “recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.”

    But why draw an arbitrary line at 12 years old? Why not younger? And we’ve already seen activists pushing for parents to be allowed to end the lives of disabled newborns and babies (and, of course, abortion is legal at any stage of pregnancy across Canada already). Yes, it’s a slippery slope when humans decide to be their own authority for who lives and dies.

    https://harbingersdaily.com/canadian-activists-call-for-child-euthanisia-including-without-parental-consent-for-older-minors/

    OBSERVATION - Global depopulation continues to be a major theme of the globalists, and they support any means by which to kill off people, be it “euthanasia”, abortion, murder drugs masked as ‘vaccines’, etc.
    They continue to press their agenda thru individual, willing countries.

    DATES TO NOTE -
    MASS BLACKOUT - Nov 26 - Dec 2. Economic boycott. Ongoing

    ***

    Over 150 anti-ICE agitators were seen descending on lower Manhattan on Saturday after there were reports of illegal immigrants being detained. The agitators were seen clashing with police in the city as they attempted to block ICE agents in a parking garage.

    NYPD responded and eventually cleared the mob away

    https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-150-left-wing-agitators-target-ice-agents-clash-with-nypd-arrests-made#google_vignette

    OBSERVATION - Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned on blocking ICE enforcement in NYC. It is uncertain if his meeting with Trump changed his mind at all. It remains to be seen what policy New York City will have under his tenure.


    Terrorism - Threat Level - ADVISORY as of OCT 26, 2025

    National Guard members are on the move in Washington DC, trying to make their patrols less predicable in the wake of the ambush that left one soldier dead and another critically wounded.

    Before Wednesday’s shocking attack, Guard members were stationed, often in pairs, at fixed locations including DC’s Metro, main thoroughfares and the National Mall.

    “We’ve got to set everything to kind of a higher standard, versus kind of relaxed, you know how it used to be,” one Guardsman, who asked for anonymity, told The Post.

    The Washington Post reported that DC police will accompany Guard troops at least temporarily, in a shift that acknowledges the risks of the status quo.

    “Officers will conduct high-visibility patrols with the national guard and provide assistance as needed,” according to an email to DC leadership obtained by the Washington Post.

    https://nypost.com/2025/11/29/us-news/national-guard-utilizing-roving-patrols-in-dc-after-ambush/

    OBSERVATION - Still, MSM is trying to make it the fault of the NG and Trump that the soldiers were shot.

    ***
    Rahmanullah Lakanwal is being portrayed as a poor immigrant with depression as the reason he drove all the way across the county just to murder NG in DC.


    Economy- Threat Level - WATCH - as of April 4, 2025

    The typical U.S. listing saw $25,000 in cumulative price cuts in October, according to a new Zillow analysis. According to the real estate platform, typical price cuts remain near $10,000, but multiple price reductions are becoming more common as homes take longer to sell.

    “These discounts are bringing more listings in line with buyers’ budgets and helping fuel the most active fall housing market in three years. Patient buyers are reaping the rewards as the market continues to rebalance,” Kara Ng, a Zillow senior economist, said.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5626418-record-price-cuts-us-homes/

    OBSERVATION - This may not be as wonderful as the article infers. Interest rates are still very high and these cuts only put a dent in its effects.


    Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –

    The U.S. Marine Corps announced it met its fiscal 2026 retention goals weeks after the target window opened, signaling strength and disciplined execution from the service.

    Commandant Gen. Eric Smith noted in a video produced in October and released after the government shutdown that the effort was achieved “earlier than ever before.”

    This outcome appears to be a direct reflection of steady leadership and a policy environment aimed at strengthening readiness.

    https://wokespy.com/marines-hit-retention-goals-ahead-of-schedule-officials-say/

    OBSERVATION - Too early to tell if the Seditious Six’s message has reached these new recruits, but I think that those signing up know full well the BS they have tried to inject into the system.


    Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics

    Pfizer has never announced the results, sitting on them for years. They show older adults who received mRNA had MORE flu infections, deaths, and side effects than those who got a standard flu shot.
    Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine for influenza failed when tested against the standard flu shot in a 27,000-person trial of older adults — a failure Pfizer has not announced for years.

    Almost three times as many people who received the mRNA shot suffered acute respiratory failure or major kidney problems. More died, too. Overall, mRNA patients were much more likely to report side effects than those who got the standard flu shot.

    But mRNA shots did not protect patients from the flu better than standard shots.

    mRNA Covid jab sales have already cratered. This new failure may effectively end development of mRNA shots for respiratory viruses — and many other viruses too.

    Pfizer has never publicly announced the failure of the trial.

    https://www.americanpartisan.org/2025/11/very-urgent-pfizers-mrna-flu-shot-failed-its-pivotal-clinical-trial-in-adults-65-and-older/

    OBSERVATION - While watching a bible teaching program last night, I was reminded about a couple of things. First was the now destroyed and removed “Georgia Guidestones” (remember them) saying the design was to reduce the human population to about 500 million - a reduction of 90%. The second item was a statement by Bill Gates saying that population reduction of 10-15% could be achieved by VACCINES! Evidence continues to point to a large conspiracy concerning the wuhan jabs produced by Pfizer and Moderna - killing and injuring more than they protected. Same flawed methods now being applied to a flu “vaccine”, and again, with damning results being buried and not reported.


    POLITICAL FRONT –

    A lot of back and forth on the NG deployment and a new faux scandal with the Sec War. It seems that the recent PR offensive by the left has crested for the time being as their point guards - the Seditious Six - have encountered major pushback across the board.


    Illegal Immigration –

    Reports that some elements within ICE and DHS are deliberately sabotaging deportation arrests and removals - slowing them down so that the goal of one million cannot be attained.

    This is not surprising given the extent of infection by the deep state across govt.


    North/South Korea –

    North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has hinted that the country’s air force has been equipped with nuclear weapons to “repulse provocations of the enemies”. The 41-year-old rotund despot has been seen in new photographs issued by the state news agency inspecting military aircraft and speaking with pilots

    Speaking to state media, Kim said the fighter planes will be equipped with “new strategic assets”, the word strategic has often been used by the leader to refer to nuclear weapons.

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2140378/north-korea-kim-jong-un-ww3-nuclear-fighter-jets

    OBSERVATION - Kim’s main efforts have been medium to long range missiles for nuclear deterrence. Shorter range systems IMHO have lagged. Using the aircraft they have a delivery means for nukes is practical as well as indicating that they’ve achieved technology to scale down the war head size that can be carried on an jet fighter. The question is can these jets successfully penetrate SK air defenses and fighter screen to accomplish their mission.


    Japan –

    Last week, Tokyo’s top defense official toured Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) and Coast Guard facilities across the southwestern islands – including a base located 70 nautical miles away from Taiwan.

    On Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi visited garrisons in the Ryukyu Islands, a strategic archipelagic chain running between Taiwan and Kyushu. Over the last three years, Japanese forces stationed in this region have weekly run-ins with Chinese vessels and aircraft transiting in and out of the first island chain. According to a Ministry of Defense release, Koizumi inspected units at the Miyakojima Air Base, Ishigaki Garrison and Yonaguni Garrison.

    The last 10 years have seen the gradual build-up of military bases and other defense-related infrastructure around Japan’s southwestern region amid increasing concerns from Tokyo of a spillover from a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

    The visit to these bases coincided with a diplomatic spat between Beijing and Tokyo following comments made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding potential involvement in a Taiwan contingency if the situation was deemed detrimental to the survival of Japan. Since Takaichi’s initial comments, Chinese diplomats and defense officials have vowed to enact a “heavy price” in the event of Japanese military involvement.

    https://news.usni.org/2025/11/28/japanese-defense-minister-koizumi-tours-military-bases-near-taiwan

    OBSERVATIONS - These islands would become a significant target in either Chinese scenario to capture Taiwan - Encirclement/Siege or direct assault.


    Russia -

    Threat Level WATCH, Ongoing - into the fourth year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022

    *****

    US envoy Steve Witkoff heads to Moscow today to discuss a potential peace deal with Putin, after talks in Florida. Washington reportedly proposed Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas, Ukraine rejected it. As of now, no final agreement exists. Discussions covered elections, territory issues and various compromise options.


    Ukraine –
    Threat Level WATCH Ongoing Apr 24, 2025

    WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the 30 degree range, mostly cloudy. Cooling into the 20s by weeks end

    24 HOUR ROUND UP –

    Ukrainian Air Defense shot down or jammed 63 out of 89 Russian drones overnight, mostly Shaheds, launched from Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo, occupied Crimea & more.

    Kaspiysk, Dagestan: A powerful explosion hit the city this morning, damaging homes & at least 15 cars. Local reports suggest a Ukrainian drone strike targeting the Dagdizel naval weapons plant.

    Russian losses per 01/12/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff

    +1060 men
    +1 tank
    +6 ACVs
    +14 artillery

    Russian Ministry of Defense claims full occupation of Klynove village in Donetsk region of Ukraine

    The Panamanian-flagged and Turkish-owned oil tanker, M/T MERSIN, alleged to be affiliated with the Russian Shadow Fleet, is currently sinking off the coast of Dakar, Senegal in Western Africa, after reportedly coming under attack overnight by several uncrewed surface vessels, in possibly the third attack in the last week by Ukrainian Intelligence Services against a tanker linked to Russia.

    Pokrovsk axis (Formerly Ocheretyne) -

    Looks like Russia is attempting to split the Ukraine pocket by simultaneously attacking from the south and north along highway H-32 that connects Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.

    Analysis and Future Operations —

    Continued brutal fight for Pokrovsk. As noted, Russia still having problems sealing the deal and now looking to apparently redouble some of their efforts to close the pocket in a more coordinated manner.

    Standard low day for Russian drone attacks. If Ukraine hit the sanctioned Russian oil tanker off the coast of Dakar, Senegal, a new stage of the economic war has been attained. Indicates Ukraine has managed to get an ocean platform to launch the sea drones from as well as establishing where these sanctioned tankers are at. A difficult task to find since due to their sanctioned status, they generally run with transponders off or with a fake ID. Three tankers lost in two days is pretty good hunting.

    Soap opera city as Witkoff goes to talk to putin. Lucy/football.


    ISRAEL –
    Threat Level WATCH Ongoing - Apr 24, 2025

    Key overnight developments -

    - IDF reports that the 200 Hamas in tunnels have essentially been liquidated.

    ——— GENERAL ——————————-

    A major Ynet report says Washington’s “New Gaza” initiative aims to:
    - Relocate up to 2 million Palestinians into temporary neighborhoods under IDF-controlled areas
    - Strip Hamas of territory and control
    - Build housing, infrastructure & job programs with international funding
    - Establish small aid hubs to block Hamas theft of supplies
    - Create a security strip and strongpoints along the “yellow line” dividing Hamas and IDF zones

    The IDF currently controls ~57% of Gaza as part of the initial pilot in Rafah
    US planners expect the process to take many months, likely years
    Hamas forces would eventually be isolated in a limited enclave with major pressure to disarm or leave

    https://x.com/mossadil/status/1995213744834810167?s=61&t=Ca4dYBe3FZLWI7Zi7HkShg

    ——— GAZA FRONT / HAMAS ———————————

    IDF killed a Hamas battalion commander, his deputy, and two others as they emerge from tunnels in eastern Rafah. More and more Hamas terrorists who were trapped beneath Rafah in a massive tunnel network are now crawling up to the surface and surrendering.

    With these recent hits, IDF says roughly 200 Hamas fighters who were barricaded in underground positions in Rafah and refused to surrender have been neutralized in a recent operation.

    ———INTERNATIONAL ————————

    EU diplomats blame Israel for stalling Gaza stabilization — while ignoring Hamas’ refusal to disarm and PA terror payments.

    ——— ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS ————————-

    The “New Gaza” initiative sounds very practical. Progressively isolate the Hamas controlled sector of Gaza by blocking / limiting aid and taking away their human shields. Meanwhile, Israel cleans up Hamas from the Yellow Zone and prepares for migration of screened/searched Gazans for resettlement. In doing so, they can win back some of these Gazans now freed from the harsh rule of Hamas. Initiative remains in Israel’s hands, while accomplishing their goals with minimal fighting.

    Meanwhile, in the Yellow Zone, operations to eliminate the approximately 200 Hamas troops trapped in tunnels appears to be reaching an end. Operations continue to destroy all remaining tunnels to prevent future use.


    Syria -

    The Security forces, working with Intelligence services, dismantled 2 ISIS cells in overnight raids in Idlib province (area of Dana & W. of Idlib). 2 members who refused to surrender were killed; others were arrested. Weapons, explosives and suicide belts were seized

    US announced that, in collaboration with Damascus forces, it destroyed over 15 ISIS weapons caches in Damascus province a few days ago through airstrikes and controlled ground detonations.

    OBSERVATION - Given the new govt’s association with AQ, attacking ISIS is interesting.

    Al Qaeda and ISIS draw on similar schools of thought. Both are inspired by the works of medieval scholar Ibn Taymiyya, 20th century Egyptian ideologue Sayyid Qutb, and later scholars, such as Abu Muhammad al Maqdisi, a Palestinian-Jordanian who taught former al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Both groups claim their hardline interpretations are reviving the purity of the faith when it was founded in the seventh century. But most influential jihadist ideologues, including Maqdisi, have remained loyal to al Qaeda.

    https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/al-qaeda-v-isis-ideology-strategy

    The AQ based support of Jolani would see ISIS as a challenge to his rule as a competing faction.


    Venezuela - Threat Level - ADVISORY Sept 4, 2025

    President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s request for broad amnesty during a newly disclosed phone conversation last week, telling Maduro and his top advisers to drop their demands and swiftly exit Venezuela as US military pressure intensifies, which has lately included an order to halt all flights in the country’s sovereign airspace.

    https://thelibertydaily.com/trump-rejects-maduro-request-amnesty-newly-disclosed-phone/

    OBSERVATION - There have been a number of these unconfirmed reports. I suspect that there is a heaping dose of propaganda / PSYOPS mixed in.

    When visiting France a few years ago, our guide told us about their FREE healthcare, & then admitted that their income tax rate is 57%. Yep, not that free after all.

    Oh it doesn't end there. There's also VAT. There's also a gas tax such that gas costs about 4X what it does in the US.....and they're not even paying for a credible military either.

    Freedonm means the we get to choose if we want such a vehicle.

    You have the context of nanny state diminution of freedom.

    Muscle cars were safe if they were treated with respect and well serviced.Those who abused them unreasonably could die or be injured.One could say the same for a Suzuki Hayabusa which can clock 180 mph off the show room floor.

    We have such vehicles because we are a free people. And without them, we are less free.I would have no problem if they were offered for sale once again, made fresh.Fools need not apply.

    You may have noticed its the same issue with firearms.Thank goodness those are protected by the 2nd amendment. I wish muscle cars were included, LOL.

    Having lived in 4 European countries, there is a LOT of truth in this. I still remember German labor unions and SPD party flunkies sniffing about "Amerikanische Verhaeltnisse" (American conditions/relations) back in the 90s. They were convinced everything was terrible, it was "brutal capitalism" etc etc like what this person describes.

    I still remember various Europeans literally thinking they knew my country better than I did on the basis of.....what? Having spent a week in Disneyworld and briefly visited San Francisco? On the basis of what their laughable government controlled media told them? They actually believed this stuff. It was amazing!

    I wonder what they would think now? They have no tech sector at all because their technology is behind and they can't innovate. They've been overrun with feral Muslims and Africans. Their socialist welfare states are collapsing. Their large chemicals industry in Germany is now dead and their entire industrial sector is dying rapidly - sacrificed to Gaia. Their energy costs are 4 times what ours are so many of them shiver through the winter now. Oh and did I add they have censorship and government oppression far far worse than anything we have in the US?.

    If I go back to Germany I'll have some sarcastic comments (Auf Deutsch natuerlich) about "Deutsche Verhaeltnisse". I'll also ask them who was the last guy to imprison his critics and ban opposition political parties.....maybe throw in a question or two about whether Hugo Boss would care to design some updated snappy new uniforms like their old ones.
