"Regular" Intel Brief NOT AFGHANISTAN UPDATE - 24 AUG 2021

hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground so today just wanted to do another normal uh intel update for everyone we've got a lot of stuff to talk about uh just for everyone who has been following our afghanistan series i'm still going to continue that we're still working on some slides and some products for that but this is not that brief i will be talking a little bit about afghanistan here at the end but this is really a conus united states style brief you can check out our other briefs if you're not familiar with the format but yeah this is just going to be our normal brief that we normally do so without further ado let's go ahead and get started with the weather just like always so weather for isr uh over the next 24 hours is going to be quite good so like i mentioned like i try to mention as often as i can remember uh keeping an eye out for good isr weather is kind of a handy trait to have it's it's always good to be able to look up at the sky and say hey this is really good weather for uh some kind of overhead surveillance especially with the the way the world is going and the way things are looking uh today and with the topics i'm going to cover today you'll you'll see why this is important but bottom line is that over the next 12 to 24 hours the united states as a whole will have excellent excellent weather for any kind of isr it's going to be very clear clear skies from the from the surface all the way up to where isr assets would be located at also we are in a green illumination cycle meaning that the moon a moonlight is very bright that means that it's going to be very easy to see things with performance enhancing devices like uh night vision goggles and things like that so any kind of force multiplication tool that relies on amplified light like night vision devices will will be very very very effective over the next 24 hours and as we can push into the next at least the next 18 hours for all different kinds of cloud levels not just the low-level stuff we can also see that the similar things going on there all these high-level clouds are are pretty much few and far between for the majority of the united states florida's got some stuff from uh from the hurricane slash tropical depression slash whatever it is now um out there and same thing up in the uh american northeast but uh for the most part we're gonna have clear skies no matter where you're at in the country pushing forward into no tams nothing significant to report on that front uh really there's a couple of space operations but by the time this airs they will have expired so there's no need mentioning them again i just wanted to mention that if you don't know what a no tam is or why it's important we have a specific video on that so it would be a great time to learn what this stuff is because this is very basic level stuff so moving forward into the civil unrest forecast and we've got quite a few changes here the biggest two changes from the last reef are portland portland has been host to a significant amount of hostile activity from a variety of actors over the last couple of days at least the world's been kind of focused on afghanistan right now in the past couple of days so they've kind of ignored the shootings and the gun play that's been going on in the street in portland between either antifa and just pick a group right it's going to be antifa fighting them or them fighting antifa or groups that we can't even name because youtube will uh will censor us and remove this video so yeah you can check that out on your own time i'll provide some sources in the in the at the end of this but portland really big hot spot currently currently a very high state of civil unrest particularly in the downtown region likewise i'd also like to point out phoenix arizona i've upgraded it sorry i forgot to get it updated on the map but it's been updated to a unrest being highly likely and this is due to election stuff so the election audit stuff is coming out and it is um how should i say this to avoid censorship it is uh counter to what the mainstream and regime sources want you to hear so that's the best way i can think of describing it so all the trump supporters out there will be will be pretty happy uh based on what limited data has come out about the election on in arizona but again me being the uh sort of pessimist on this front i don't really think it's going to be that effective but we can talk about that later when we get to it moving forward into logistics so the western part of the united states is is facing some pretty severe weather uh sorry water shortages uh this is due to a variety of of reasons that you can research on your own but for those of you who don't live in the area you probably aren't tracking this as much as people who live in the area and it's quite bad and these things get compounded once we move into the critical infrastructure stuff on the next slide but water shortage big deal probably going to get worse uh over the you know finishing of summer into the beginning of winter also the the microchip shortage has gotten much much worse major auto manufacturers are making some serious uh serious efforts to combat that and figure out ways around it uh toyota actually just announced that they're going to cut global production of all of their vehicles by 40 percent that is devastating uh that's devastating even for just one company toyota provides a significant portion of the uh vehicle manufacturing for not just the united states but for the rest of the world and that is a huge deal volkswagen did the same thing but they did not give a percentage on how much they're having to scale back which is interesting at least i haven't seen them give a percentage their press releases were just kind of like yeah we're having to scale things back but it's probably similar to toyota because they source a lot of their parts in the same places uh also forgot to mention on the water shortage lake mead is is now in a state of severe shortage i don't know what terminology they're using but power generation has been seriously affected by that also the liquor shortage that we talked about that i mentioned last time is it's still present and it has expanded to a lot of other areas but it's really random so i just left the the icons where they were from last briefing a lot of people all over social media are complaining about liquor shortages in their area and posting pictures of like empty liquor store shelves but it's really hard to get a beat on where things are at uh our dude who man's a twitter for us is having a couldn't find really anything tangible to show you guys or be able to make an assessment as to where these are at other than where the state liquor boards have issued statements such as in these three states and also i should mention just very briefly that costco has a they're having another run another shortage on toilet paper and bottled water this i believe at this time based on what limited analysis i've been able to do on it this one seems totally social media driven it doesn't have any sort of legitimate cause it's like some journalist tweeted something because they went to a store one day and one costco around the country they tweeted it and then there you go everyone reports on it because all the reports i've been seeing on the costco toilet paper and bottled water shortage have been circular meaning that you follow them all back and they all kind of come back to the same few number of sources uh it's it's like an adult version of the telephone game but it's more devastating than just a child's game like that so pushing forward into critical infrastructure concerns uh there are three main things uh two being cyber attacks uh i just put the two biggest cyber attacks there have been a significant number of cyber attacks over the past gosh two or three months it's been i could probably spend hours and hours and hours just just typing the actual number of cyber attacks but the biggest ones have been t-mobile they had the personnel the the personal data of over 100 million users leaked breached and it's currently for sale on the dark web which is disconcerting if you're a t-mobile customer likewise mitsubishi also had a cyber attack and this is interesting because this was the uh defense infrastructure for mitsubishi so they provide a lot of the defense infrastructure for japan and things like that even in the united states they provide a lot of technical data and things like that and defense railway and electrical power grid data was stolen this if you google mitsubishi cyber attack you'll find that almost the exact same thing happened a couple years ago actually and i think it was yeah early 2020 uh they lost uh missile data so uh defense missile data was lost to hackers and mitsubishi has kind of a history of this losing defense data of all things we're not talking about you know losing someone's t-mobile password they're losing the the missile secrets and things so that's not good and then finally like i mentioned uh the water shortage out west is going to compound very soon into a power shortage because a lot of the electrical power for the west actually comes from hydroelectric facilities and if you have something like the colorado river dip really low it reduces power generation so like i mentioned these things compound so not only do you have very little drinking water for people but you also have very little power so you're gonna have these things tend to happen at the worst possible times right so you're not just gonna have to deal with one utility being out but likely both and as one gets worse the other one's going to it's going to bring the other one down with it so that's something to to be on the lookout for if you're out out west i'm sure i'm preaching to the choir for those of you who live in those areas and you you know uh if you've been affected or how severe these things are so really just for uh for situational awareness of anyone out there who's not living in those areas and then moving on to the meat uh of the briefing today significant governmental action so uh i'm gonna try to move through this as quick as possible because there is a lot of stuff and it's all kind of really depressing so first one is there have been a few more arrests for people using fake medical passports this occurred in hawaii you can check out the link that i've got in the sources that will be at the end of this but yeah this just highlights a larger argument that any attempt to go against the federal regime even to do things like traveling between states or buying food at this point will be met with a lot of force so these guys the two guys that they got arrested um i wish i could talk more about the actual circumstances of it but i'm not entirely certain because all the reporting is coming from mainstream media which is unreliable at best but this is just goes to show keep things on the down low as much as you can on that so that's all i'm going to say about that moving forward into number number two which is youtube has updated their policies their content creator policies to ban content that discusses prayer as a cure for the virus that shall not be named this is kind of once again like everything we're seeing these days it's just a foot in the door to outright banning religion on the internet or on their platform you know in general now a lot of people are gonna make the argument okay fine youtube's a private company they can do what they want well here's here's the thing on that for those of you who have not heard our many many many hours of content and podcasts and other videos on this topic it is our opinion here that if a private company either gets a significant amount of tax benefits or is affiliated with federal agencies or is in some way controlling an overwhelming part of daily life for americans their protected status of the excuse that you know libertarians love to use of oh well there's just a private company they can do what they want well it kind of loses a lot of its steam as an argument considering that how what percentage what overwhelming majority of people get their news from youtube nowadays so yeah that's how we feel on that for those of you who don't know and that's why we're continuing to report on stuff like this because it's it's just infringements are everywhere these days and it's it's kind of rough out there also speaking of infringements uh moving on to number three bank of america has once again proven that they are one of the worst or most tyrannical banks in the country they are pushing crt training on employees at to here on the slide i have it to an insane degree which is about the best way i can put it in this censorship-rich environment the source that i have in the sources you can read about it yourself but yeah bank of america is not not exactly known as being a an aboveboard bank they have a long history of things being affiliated with gun control and things like that so yeah there you go uh also 0.4 this kind of ties into the afghanistan stuff but i'm sure a lot of people have already heard right by now that the biden administration slash regime whatever you want to call it actually canceled a a relatively unknown department within the state department it's a small office called the contingency response bureau and their job they were stood up underneath the trump administration and their job was to serve as a a conduit a a point a rally point so to speak for americans that might be trapped abroad because we've had a lot of issues with this like with the philippines going downhill last year civil unrest in hong kong and things like that we kind of learned hey we need to have some kind of coordinated office specifically to help americans get get out of dodge when things go sour outside the united states and this department was created to handle that i don't know how well it functioned honestly i did not know that the department existed until a couple months ago but it uh it was cancelled uh just a few months ago uh by the biden regime and i haven't seen a good i haven't seen any reason for why they did it probably funding of course you know them trying they're trying to funnel funding to wherever they think it needs to go but yeah i just wanted to bring that up because it's a very interesting little tidbit that kind of it's one of those little little dominoes that falls over months ago and now the big indiana jones style boulders rolling at us from that and point number five is new york city is launching a new program uh which essentially what they're doing is paying people to not shoot people and this is actually not a new program this is a program that has come out it was created in california of course and new york city is adopting it and it's very interesting if you read the details of the actual program it's going to be a monthly check that people get for not shooting someone so if they don't get convicted or suspected of shooting someone and if they meet with their sort of parole officer they'll get a check and this is for both ex-cons and um people who are not uh people have never been arrested or never convicted of anything so interesting program uh completely dystopian in nature but it's interesting that if you look at the wording it's almost like they're expecting a certain demographic of people to show up and claim the check for this which is um interesting to say the least and the number six uh our boy hunter uh he's he's lost himself another laptop um as i'm sure a lot of people have heard by now or maybe not many people at all depending on how much this has been censored uh yeah he there's a video that came out i can't show it here of course due to youtube's policies but uh he stated in the video that he he thinks he lost it to the russian mafia and that they are going to use that laptop and the um promiscuous illicit videos on that laptop to blackmail him so there you go um that's all i'm gonna say on that i know that if if i had done that they'd throw me under the jail but whatever moving on we got more important stuff to talk about so number seven rand paul issued an interesting statement i'm not sure how many people have seen it uh in which he issued a it was a few minute long video in which the primary message that has gotten out is his quote that he says it's time for us to resist and quote they can't arrest us all when it comes to things like these lockdowns and stuff like that so um our own feelings about rand paul aside uh i think it's very interesting to see at least some politicians saying these words in this you know context out loud it's very interesting to see that i don't know if it'll be effective again politicians i'd you know we here just as part of our own analytical process don't trust any politician whatsoever or any elected official whatsoever but it's interesting to see this rhetoric getting out there if nothing else uh also number eight this is something that we have tried to do a lot of research on but it's just because it's just the shadiest thing i've seen in a while um a lot of people are calling the headline are the headlines are that this guy this was a false flag event um there the short story is this this guy uh drives his truck which he has allegedly loaded with explosives and such parks right outside the library of congress and uh has a standoff situation with police the problem is is that it looks really really fishy because it was right on the same exact day that people were falling off airplanes in kabul so it looked to me it looked to a lot of people like it was just a distraction from what's going on like it was your textbook false flag this guy was allegedly in his own live stream video had significant you know devices and things like that and all that kind of stuff and it was well thought out and planned and things like that and then he just immediately surrenders as soon as the police show up the standoff was like less than an hour so uh very fishy uh to say the least uh for a lot of people and um yeah we're probably never gonna hear anything more about it it's just going to be lost to the internet but i did want to record it here on this date for posterity i guess all right so moving on to number nine uh house resolution 49 53 basically banning most guns basically other gun channels who have better luck avoiding youtube censorship than we do uh have talked a lot more about what this bill contains so definitely check that out definitely actually read it don't listen to somebody actually just tell you what's in it read it it's not that long it's not that hard to read it just read it and you'll see what i'm talking about number 10 also had some interesting issues with their uh mail-in ballots so uh a viral video that has gone around uh shows that a lot of the the for specifically for the california recall election which is a mail-in only election which is interesting how an elected official who is who had to create a recall election gets to dictate that the election is going to be held on his terms but nonetheless uh the ballots actually have holes punched in them the the envelopes have holes punched in them and if you fold your ballot the wrong way that hole on the envelope lines up perfectly to show how you voted and a lot of people are claiming that this just makes it easier for people to look at the outside of your envelope and without even being able without even having to open the envelope they can see how you voted and they can decide what to do with that ballot so i'll just leave it there on that so that we don't get censored yet again i know i keep mentioning that but it's it's really become a pain and moving on to number 11 is that the byzantine administration as many people have already pointed out has issued sanctions on russia but the sanctions are actually hurting the united states more because they are he is banning all russian-made ammunition and weapons so basically all of your steel cased ammunition will be illegal uh for import at least not even not illegal for possession yet but uh it's illegal to import and that's a problem uh because for those of you out there who who are not into aks or steel cased ammo roughly 40 percent of all of the ammunition that is imported in the united states is russian in origin so that's a problem for you because guess what 40 percent of the market uh is now going to be coming for your brass ammunition and that is a huge huge uh stab in the back for the gun community uh in a time when ammunition is already in very very short supply so yeah very interesting uh timing on that i'll that's how i'll say that and then finally uh house resolution 4980 this is the one that is alarming very very alarming as well it should be and it probably won't go anywhere just yet but it give it time this is a bill which i'll put it up here on the screen for you it is a bill to put everyone who has not been jabbed with the medical treatment that shall not be named on on a no-fly list so yeah um if that does not alarm you and if i have to explain why this is a bad thing check out our other content um because this is just a prelude again just a boot in the door and if this is not an infringement on basic human life i don't know what it is so yeah like i mentioned i it's very and it's very early stages very very early stages it was just filed like a week ago or last you know acted on a week ago so i don't know how quickly this is going to to go through anything i don't know if it will pass as it stands right now probably not there's probably going to be some riders on it but yeah a very very alarming stuff while the world is stuck watching uh afghanistan and before i move on i did not put it on the slide uh because i did not have time and i didn't want to put just one puck on a blank slide but 75 doctors just walked out of their hospital in florida for reportedly this is of course coming from mainstream media which is circulating the story like wildfire but reportedly they're quitting because they are sick and tired of treating people who have not gotten the medical procedure that shall not be named now a lot of people are looking at this and saying this is a violation of the the hippocratic oath it's turning it into the hypocritic oath uh because you're supposed to trigger treat people regardless of why they're there and a lot of conservative pundits and and social media accounts are running with this one as to be expected but i would just like to point out that at least you know with these doctors at least they told you how they feel about it before and they quit their job rather than harm you with a medical procedure without your knowledge based on something like that what would you what would you rather have a doctor that tells you uh that they hate you to your face or would you rather have a doctor who pretends to be nice to your face but then gives you the wrong medication for an unrelated uh an unrelated condition which can make you worse or they don't give you the best care that you can provide so honestly any kind of doctor that is willing to differentiate between patients like that is a good riddance in my opinion uh because they have no business anywhere near any medical facility whatsoever that's all i have to say on that and we'll move forward into afghanistan so i'm sure a lot of people have checked out our recent content on this rapidly unfolding fiasco but the myself and the rest of the team here have have put in considerable uh effort to uh provide as many resources as possible so we've already got a handful of intelligence briefings by day uh the last one uh covered uh two days a two-day period and all of the briefs cover something different so if you have not if you're just tuning in now to what the afghanistan situation is please check out those videos that's the about the best that we can do now we also have other resources so on our odyssey page you can download all the tools that we've created all of the graphics everything like that and that should help uh at least maybe some people now i should mention that the stuff that we're covering on the afghanistan situation right now is really our main lines of effort are focused on getting americans out and and our allies uh at this at the same time but we're really really hyper focused on getting americans out because the americans seem to be having a very hard time getting to the airport and that's something that we're desperately desperately trying to help with along with you know tens of thousands of others out there so we're by no means really making a huge difference but maybe we can make a little difference that's why we're dedicating so much time to this now moving on to a topic that everyone is kind of getting getting a lot of feelings out of the way right now there are a lot of people talking about afghanistan and offering up their their own opinions on the subject but for us when it comes to the afghan conflict as a whole and not just the recent rescue stuff but the actual war itself we're going to take some time to process this one and try to figure out a way to convey our thoughts uh for those who want to hear them uh in such a way so as to not be too long or insanely boring i i know i myself could talk about afghanistan for days and days and not even scratch the surface um so we're going to take a we're going to take a page out of the taliban's book and and be patient on this one we have a lot of time to talk about this war and even more time to look back on it and learn from it so that's what we're really trying to do people can have their own opinions that's all well and good but really when it comes to our organization here we're trying to learn learn things and and put those things into practice for for when we might have to use them so plus a lot of people have far more time in country than we do and they have a lot to say about certain things and we want to simply avoid echoing what others have already said about the whole afghanistan conflict but all of that being said and considering the number of people out there that are are looking for answers um the number of people out there that are kind of avoiding following the the afghanistan rescue mission stuff because it's just too painful uh to watch i understand that i i completely do i'm not going to fault anybody for not trying to help um because it is really a horrendously bad thing that a lot of people are dealing with right now and because of that i will take the time to lay out a few different sentiments that are going around to to put it simply right now the afghanistan fiasco is bringing uh bringing up a lot of different wide-ranging issues i would argue that most of the issues that are coming out regarding afghanistan are far beyond the actual war itself and perhaps even more important than the decades that we spent there perhaps most on the nose are the gritty details about the evacuations themselves the the the government and and the federal regime in the united states really really um screwing this up and uh not really when people pointed out that they're screwing it up not really um doing much about it and we're just sitting here and there's really not as much being done not everything that could be done is getting done and the things that are getting done are very very few and far between so that's something that's being highlighted for a lot of people and really that that has really wide ranging um effects like the in the international community the us international situation right now is is a joke uh honestly even though i personally have lived for years in the world of international diplomacy i have never really considered any international issue to directly affect my day-to-day life but these days i'm not so sure the the consequences of globalism mean that something that happens on the other side of the world could affect you even before you find out about it and that's a huge huge thing to to consider in today's world and things can even strike really close to home the gun control debate is being proven to be just pure insanity at this point by what's going on in afghanistan the raw nature of what's going on in kabul right now and the taliban confiscating millions of weapons immediately is something that nobody can spend i don't care how much you want to try to warp what's going on you just can't and also a lot of the the the sort of woke-ism that that's going around surrounding the feeling of quote-unquote oppression here in the united states i mean yeah the footage in kabul alone is enough to prove to anyone that certain groups of people that claim to be oppressed here in the united states clearly have no idea what real oppression is same thing applies to the concepts of freedom a lot of people are observing what it's like to not have freedom watching the television screen and seeing the taliban take over that that tv screen might as well be a window into the future of the united states at least when it comes to the idea of freedom right no the united states is not afghanistan but a lot of parallels are being played out in real time for the whole world to see and even though people might not realize what they're thinking they definitely feel it and along these lines of a lot of old issues are being brought up and back out into the open again and people who are not even alive for 9 11 are now starting to read history just a little bit and they're starting to ask questions like how is it that the practice of the chai boys and the production of heroin was was banned under the taliban when they were in power but the us government is well known to cover up the rampant abuse of children in afghanistan so much so that it's an atrocity that most u.s soldiers remember about their deployment and like 90 of the world's heroin now comes from afghanistan like what how did that happen we went from having some of the world's most effective if not you know tyrannical i mean it's a taliban right some of the world's most effective drug counter drug operations being run by the taliban throughout the entire country and then like just a couple years later that the world's producer of heroin it's interesting and people are starting to to read and this dirty laundry is getting aired right and speaking of the military man the military is just taking gut punch after gut punch these days uh senior military leadership is just purely insane completely incompetent and just willing to step over a stack of bodies just to get that promotion or that position on the board of raytheon we and many others are now realizing just how crippled our military is especially at senior levels but finally now some other people are starting to take notice due to the blatant lies that are being told like millie stated that there were no indications that the taliban could take the country in 11 days that is a complete and utter lie and you know who else knows it's a lie literally every man and woman who's ever set foot in that country the fall of afghanistan is proving how woke the us military is again at the senior level and this is devastating our nation almost every day people are watching a nation collapse in real time they are not seeing some black and white photo of saigon days after the fact no we're we're all watching the ugly side of all wars and hd video and that raw stuff that that unsensible and unspendable truth of how barbaric the world really is well this is something different from the blanket of propaganda that the overwhelming majority of americans are living under 24 7. everyone who is alive at the time remembers 9 11. well the the fall of afghanistan might now be as directly impacting on the homeland but again in a snapchat and tick-tock age people are not going to forget this anytime soon and perhaps even more significantly witnessing the fall of a nation highlights just how vulnerable our own situation is now more than ever the average american knows that to change our situation f-15s and nuclear weapons are not needed granted that idea is certainly going to embolden the people that have been salivating over the prospect of civil war for a long time now but by and large right now is the time in which most people have the potential to realize that we can change our situation and it doesn't take a significant amount of military force to do it this afghanistan situation is bringing up a lot of things even the concepts of responsibility integrity and consequences are lessons that are being learned or not learned by a lot of people these days no matter how much certain groups in society want to avoid personal responsibility for everything the world finds a way of bringing that responsibility to your doorstep having the honor and the integrity to do the right thing even when faced with adversity is most definitely a dying art and just because something is a human right just because you have the right to do something does not mean that there won't be consequences for doing so consequences are simply cause and effect they don't have to be fair at this point in time if you take actions to resist the federal regime you are going to have to understand that there are consequences for doing so just like those guys in hawaii learn the hard way in a time where liking certain social media posts is being labeled as terrorism you have to realize that any form of resistance no matter how small will not be tolerated much longer and the consequences for resisting anyway might mean that you have to significantly alter your lifestyle to avoid being arrested by agents of the federal government of the state or whatever you want to call it some people like us think that this arrangement is unfortunate but we are willing to accept these consequences and more importantly the lifestyle changes that allow us to continue to exist even as an organization who knew that the end of the afghan war would trigger thoughts like this but here we are but there is some good news so in trying to avoid ending on such a melancholy note uh i just off the top of my head thought up for really good things or at least productive things that we can actually rely on moving forward into the future so number one is that quote unquote normal people are starting to realize that the true nature of the us government right so everybody's got that uncle right out there that you know they can be right 99 of the time but if they present their arguments like alex jones presents his arguments most people just don't believe it even if it's true right even if it's true most people don't believe it so most normal people as in people who don't really they don't understand what a lot of this stuff is they're not very well read or they're just living for the next snapchat video right those people are starting to realize that the us government might not have their best interest in mind and i won't go down the rabbit hole of the concept of governance itself as i really think that argument is unproductive at this point but this fiasco in afghanistan is most certainly highlighting more than any other incident since probably the snowden leaks what our government has become at the risk of really ticking off all the libertarians in the room again for the millionth time i think that most people think that some form of government governance is an all right thing most people think this right we can argue about how much and what it should do and what it looks like but for the most part the idea of some kind of governing body is one defining characteristics of a nation-state right however now perhaps more than ever before our current government has lost its way to put it lightly and this afghanistan debacle is indirectly pointing that out also number two is this disaster is settling the debate on a lot of u.s domestic issues like i mentioned before everything from gun control to what some social groups in the us call oppression is being destroyed in real time people who think that they are oppressed are being proven to not be with every video clip that comes out of afghanistan so that's an interesting little side note that indirectly affects things number three is the the precious and precarious nature of freedom has never been clearer in modern times freedom is a unique concept or at least the us version of it is and this afghanistan rescue disaster is bringing into context questions like well what is a right anyway who can grant rights who can protect them uh chances are if you have even found this video your you already know the answers to these questions but most americans haven't even thought about it since these philosophical concepts are again not exactly found on tick-tock or only fans and finally number four this incident might be a good way to trigger people to think about ways of reducing tyranny in their own lives sometimes a good kick in the seat of the pants is what's needed to trigger actions horrific acts are usually quite motivating for those who witness them and there have been a plethora of horrific actions during this afghanistan disaster people will remember what happened those thousands of americans on the ground will remember too and they will not just remember the atrocities of war that's something that anyone who's experienced it never forgets for better or for worse but these guys will remember their cowardly and dishonorable officers and senior enlisted over them who at every turn at every decision point decided to do the wrong thing if they were sitting back state-sized shuffling paperwork we might not have known that they were dishonorable cowards but we do now since they were put in that situation and we will never forget that so yeah hopefully that was helpful in pointing out at least some of the things that have been kind of orbiting out there some ideas have just been floating around and uh people haven't really been able to grasp at because they're they feel a certain way about it there's a lot of things going around everybody is it feels a different thing about this whole afghanistan situation ranging from the people who could not care less and probably skipped right through this segment on youtube to the people who are actively on the ground who are trying to save as many lives as possible so the people who are uninformed and they just don't know what to feel about it to the people that are just kind of apathetic about the whole thing right i'm not pointing fingers or accusing anyone of anything i'm just saying that there's a lot of stuff going on and before everybody you know tunes into their favorite podcast who's inevitably going to talk about this it's just i think important to recognize that other stuff is going on and that a lot of opinions are out there and yeah hopefully that was at least helpful in illustrating that so let's go ahead and close out uh with some international issues some other things that have been going around first australia australia has had an interesting time uh we've gotten uh dms and uh information from a lot of different people in australia some people say it's interesting because americans have this idea that that australia is basically the worst dystopian novel that you could ever imagine and the effect is clearly not illustrated by the australians themselves some some australians yes some australians are very highly highly concerned vastly more concerned than americans are with what's going on in their own country but also some australians really don't care um so it's very interesting to see both sides of the coin on that some australians are in the government and they say hey you know this is really not that it's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be and then other people and you know civilians and citizens and things like that are saying ah no it's actually worse so just remember to take everything with a grain of salt i would agree that the situation in australia does not look good from a u.s context now we have to be careful with putting united states values on another country you know even though australia is very similar to the united states when we speak the same language we have a lot of the same cultures uh however we're different countries and when forming analysis or forming opinions about another country it's kind of i would say not the most accurate way to do it would be to implant your own american values on another country even if they seem to be more similar than dissimilar there's they're dissimilar enough to mean your analysis will be skewed so keep an eye on australia if you're in australia and watching this good luck uh with what's going on um but yeah france is also dealing with much the same thing but the french are a little bit more united it seems it seems to me like they're a little bit more united a lot more people have been protesting in france uh over the same exact thing uh or much the same thing so that's going to be interesting to follow especially with france um dealing with the refugee crisis and things like that uh moving forward with the afghanistan situation it's gonna be interesting to see what they do with their anti-lockdown protesters and china uh like i sort of briefly mentioned already china has directly made threatening statements toward taiwan and they've directly stated that the us will abandon taiwan just like we abandoned afghanistan so like i mentioned this international stuff man it comes to a head real real quick and i can tell you as bad as the afghanistan situation looks a conflict with taiwan or with china words cannot express how bad that's going to get immediately so once again keep your eye on froggy china and they're they're gonna do some interesting stuff over the next few weeks i would almost certainly guarantee that they've that they're going to fly a lot of missions uh into uh with their aircraft into taiwan's air defense interdiction zone that's most likely going to happen at least until the afghanistan situation gets tamped down because well the world knows where our aircraft are right they're flying in and out of kabul right now so there you go and finally iran is enriching uranium again this one kind of got buried in the news this week but they are indeed in reaching uranium by several orders of magnitude more than what they're allowed to by the international atomic energy agency and yeah whatever you feel about that you know i i guess everybody feels again different about iran doing their own thing but again it's iran it's nukes it's you know something to to definitely keep an eye on as we move forward into the future so just wanted to give another shout out another special thank you to all of our patreon supporters it has really helped out helped us out a lot especially with our rising costs and the situation here with where we're at uh it really makes it possible we got we've gotten to the point where we could not do it without you guys uh so we really really do thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts for everything that you guys do for us so thank you once again uh here are our sources for this i've got a couple more to add to this before i drop it so this um the pdf of these slides will be available uh on our platforms uh wherever you can find them you the links for the platforms at least will be in the the description box usually it'll be on odyssey and a few other things as well you guys on patreon you guys know you got the slides already um but yeah uh thanks again uh everybody stay sane out there uh try to do the best you can and uh we've got a busy few few weeks ahead of us so let's uh let's settle in for the long haul like always and make sure we keep our head on a swivel for anything that might uh might come out and uh affect us so thanks again and we will see you guys next time and always remember fight in the shade

S2 Underground Live Interview with Gutter Fighting Secrets!

what's going on guys so welcome to the podcast with s2 underground i want to be up front with you guys and let you know we had a couple of technical difficulties just up front starting off but when we cut in it's going to be at the very early onset of the conversation so you didn't really miss much maybe five minutes or so if you haven't heard of s2 underground these guys are really amazing it's an aggregate of intelligence analysts and they are really serious about the news they give you deep dives and analysis on things like they say they don't always come out with breaking news if you want breaking news you follow me on instagram watch my story it's all nothing but breaking news and relevant news but if you want deep dive analysis on current world events check them out now also they have a podcast here on youtube s2 underground type it in the search bar will bring you right to there how to freaking camouflage yourself from drones how to hide people escape an evasion that these guys obviously they went through sir and all that so you know they don't like disclose anything but they disclose what you need to know it's really really a great channel i can't recommend that resource for you enough all right guys so like i said we have some technical difficulties so enjoy this little bit of music and it's gonna bring you right into about five minutes into our conversation and the rest is on here for you all right stand by i know you guys are going too dressed in a dark green bottle jacket with a carbine in his hand he came to organize [Music] it's really it's been educational for me and i find uh i kind of have a hard time these days finding stuff that will really educate me that doesn't it's not very basic but you guys i mean you guys are on a different level over there i think that's probably comes from you know experience as well as extensive research that you all do yeah it's it's definitely something that we have uh we've leveraged our you know combined i think we've got probably two or three decades worth of federal intel stuff and then state intel stuff and uh you know contracting and things like that so we're using our skills you know in the best way that we can to you know give back to people in the best way that we can and which which in this case is you know educationally and uh well really lately has been providing platforms for people who have been kind of d platform so yeah and you guys have been d platform pretty hard um we were talking kind of laughing together actually right before the program started this is coming on the um january 11th 2021 yep 2021 already man can you believe it's 2021 yeah it does not seem like it already no it doesn't but anyway it's 2021 january 11th yesterday uh parlor was d platform just completely by amazon yep you guys had a huge following on instagram and then until they decided just to delete your account with no explanation given yep yeah we're on our fourth instagram account i think so yeah okay it's fourth instagram and um that's something i gotta talk to you a little more about actually because i guarantee you they're going to cut me off any day here now um i'm already being shadow banned right now and this comes after you know like them wanting to delete my threatening to delete my for like you know two three strikes now and then cutting me off from live video all of it so yeah what are we what are we really looking at here jay i mean it's not just guys like you and me either no it's it's really we're starting to see really the power of people are really saying big tech but it's really just the math and the algorithms behind it we're starting to see a lot of people that are we're starting to see not necessarily people being silenced because they are either of a certain political ideology but because they either have a voice or they point something out or they engage in a certain way that flags a certain algorithm so then they get banned that's why you're starting that's why you're seeing or rather not seeing a lot of very prominent conservative conservative like leadership and politicians get the boot but other everyday people log in and say hey my facebook account got banned for something that i never did so it's kind of a strange thing to explain i don't think anybody's really got a good explanation for exactly how it works definitely a problem it's a huge problem and i was online last night and tonight trying to figure out hey how do you get off a shadow band like how do you do but it's all it's a lot of it at least it's algorithms it's not like there's some nerd sitting behind the screen saying your band it's yeah all the machine right yeah it's abs absolutely in very few cases are we seeing deliberate people being targeted and if you know that's happening it's it's going to be like high profile targets right it's not going to be people like you know you and me who have no real reason to be banned it's going to be like higher ranking people um but yeah it's definitely something we're gonna see a lot more of especially considering the you know the web of things how everything is interconnected how people have they're gonna have like a google account or something and they get their banking information through that well now google knows about where they bank and they can subpoena that information or they can you know leverage banks we've seen that before we're probably going to see it again just to you know we could go down that rub a hole all day different things that can be done didn't they recently actually it used to be like if you take out 999 what is it 9099 or something like you you don't set off the flags but didn't they just recently lower it to like an insane amount so i'm not entirely sure exactly about that but suffice it to say uh there there are of course limits right this has been a thing since electronic banking was a thing and this is from not necessarily from big tech but from the government side of things people like at homeland and your big three letter agencies they want to make sure that people aren't moving money around and laundering it in certain ways and for a long time people were under the impression that hey there's this magic ten thousand dollar limit for hey if i spend or move around or commit a some kind of electronic bank transfer for less than that i'm not going to get caught well it's not necessarily like that these these agencies have gotten really really good at tracking the bad guys the legit bad guys and if legit bad guys can figure this out then you know normal americans don't really have a chance at avoiding it so you know we saw it with i think what was a bank of american citibank trying to tell people that they can't buy firearms with their credit card wow and that was like two years ago i'm not even really sure how that turned out but i would expect stuff like that to come back and impact you know mainstream america like us yeah that's crazy i'm waiting for the day where we see what are they called wallas or walla wallas here in uh the states with the middleman moving money around and everything yeah yeah hawala networks yeah just some dude carrying a bag of cash um i mean it works for the bad guys and unfortunately i think a lot of american you know average citizens are going to have to resort to that too shed says status actual says get some junk silver that's actually not a bad idea yeah but you know it's not like we're i mean we're just shooting the here we're not trying to you know move money or anything like that but it's just fascinating talking about the algorithms you know how you can set it off and not even freaking mean to and you're not even doing anything to begin with but for whatever reason it can mess with your life yeah it absolutely can um i think that a lot of people or at least what we've been seeing for a while now we ourselves were have been very wary of how our governmental systems can contract and do these things you know the whole ever since the snowden thing every american citizen has been concerned with what their government can and cannot see well one of the interesting paradoxes we're starting to discover now is that if a company were to come to you and say hey we're going to give you a free email service but we're going to take from you every piece of data we could possibly get everything every transaction you've ever made every photo you take every single part of your life we say hey that's great but if the government tries to do it or some kind of agency tries to do it it's if people bulk at it but they people freely give their stuff away over to really big companies without actually knowing it yeah so and it's a big problem uh big tech is becoming a big problem and i hope i don't get banned it happens very quickly too um i think we've seen just how fast big tech has moved even just with the example of um i can't remember who it was i think it was either twitter or uh apple or some some actually i think it was a google play store where they said hey we're gonna give you 24 hours parlor to fix your stuff and ban either certain content or basically just agree to that you're going to police your content on your platform and then they came back four hours later and said oh jk you only have like an hour left and then they just said screw it we're just to ban you anyway so it's uh dude it's it's been insane to be alive during these times i mean i don't know how old you are but my generation has seen um the birth of the internet the birth of a cell phone like all this technology 911 freaking iraq war like this now i'm sure you know national global pandemic it's crazy to see how things have just accelerated to such degree yeah it really is i i think as of 2020 and really this year so far i think a lot of people are going to have to change their priorities people who weren't forced to think about these things like we have been yeah they're going to start to have to be at least you think about this stuff so it's an interesting uh interesting challenge for moving forward that's for sure well you bring up a good point there man is that guys like you and i kind of you could say force but you know we we are forced to think about this stuff just due to you know the nature of who we are and what we do most people don't and they never have thought about this stuff you know and it's it really is forcing them to put it all in their face and deal with it and i don't think a lot of civilians out there honestly have the capacity to be able to do that yeah it's um it's definitely a challenge it really is we have had our own little you know micro challenges along the way and it's it's really been surprising the the sort of conspiratorial strength uh you know hold that a lot of you know technology has over people's lives um you know 10 years ago if you said the stuff that we're saying now if you said that 10 years ago you'd be crazy but now it seems like you know we have to really plan for things that sort of sounds crazy now right we're looking years years out from now and the stuff that we're saying we have to be concerned with you know the internet not existing because cloudflare and amazon web services say that it doesn't want to happen that kind of stuff we have to be concerned with now or at least start thinking about it absolutely and you know you saw guys like alex jones 10 years ago talking about this stuff and yeah it was entertaining you thought okay like maybe there's some shredded truth in there but the guy's clearly like conspiracy nut right and then yeah yeah you go like flashback a year ago right today even two years ago you got like sean hannity talking about this stuff on mainstream and news you got like everyone kind of on the same page like this is where we are yeah maybe it used to sound like a conspiracy but it's not like this is legit let's talk about it now it's crazy man yeah it's very it's very interesting to look back and see you know and of course then you know once we start looking into that stuff we run into the trap of trying to find well this guy said this thing was going to happen and he said at the same time this other thing was going to happen so does that other thing going to happen now well you know it's kind of hard to say but yeah it's it's definitely true that we have uh we've not heeded a lot of warnings for a long time with you know the the power of things and the power of certain people in the world so you know things look a lot less conspiratorial nowadays even though right now you know conspiracy theorists are having a field day with everything that's going on in the world yeah it's uh it's kind of a hard time to find good information now so it really is and and that's exactly why i wanted to have you guys on tonight or have you on as kind of the head boss over there is look you guys are putting out great material great content and it's all relevant and it's all truthful it's not most of what you guys put out is not hearsay and it's not um shall i say we think this it's it's the way that you put your news out there i can tell an analyst put it out there yeah and and that's not something that's easy to do and you know at the at the risk of sort of patting ourselves on the back too much we do have to realize that there's a trade-off we the reason that we don't really have a scheduled you know podcast that comes out at a specific date and time we don't have a 24-hour news cycle it's because the 24-hour news cycle if you're wanting to get just the information that's some that's a modern construct that's something that's manufactured some days nothing happens in the world and you just kind of got to live with it but sometimes you have to watch an event happen you have to think about it you have to realize what's going on you have to research things and by the time that people want to hear your opinion about things or by the time people want to by the time that opinion actually gets out there that analysis gets out there it's already gone it's been three days and nobody cares anymore so um we we do have a good trade-off of hey the stuff we put out is is going to be from an analytical perspective but it's not going to be instant we're not going to be replying to tweets 12 minutes after they happen it's it's going to take some time um and you know that's why uh that's why we're not so much a current events news station as we are an analytical one so no absolutely and if you guys want the current events look just check out my stories i'm pretty current with myself oh yeah absolutely yeah you've been putting out a lot a lot of good stuff lately so yeah but if you want to deep dive on what's going on behind the scenes check out s2 because they're very good at what they do i want to get to a couple of the comments real quick so i don't leave anyone out um yeah sure flesh was saying he got uh shadow band after making fun of china i thought that that's pretty funny okay um sounds about right yep yeah it does it really does uh let's see so do y'all think we will see government control the withdrawal of money from the bank is near in the near future so i guess what he's asking is if if they're gonna try to do something like uh you know no man could buy or sell save less he had the mark right right yeah so um i don't know i would say it's probably going to take a lot longer than if a bank wanted to do it if a bank wants to do something they could do it pretty quickly whereas the federal government as much as you know a lot of people are kind of scared at them especially moving into 2021 they're still pretty bad at a lot of things and there's a lot of people a lot of powerful people that have to fight each other to get anything done so i would say possibly i mean we've already seen it happen when it comes to things like certain purchases it might happen one day you know very soon where you all of your purchases are being flagged right so if you buy something at a sort of non-approved place from that the bank doesn't want to you spend spending money on that could be an issue and they could you know do something to you but once again there there's there's um it's not like they're going to be able to do that and not get away with it the way our current laws are uh courts going to see that at least you know for now so if it were to happen i would say yeah it's going to take a while they can do that now right they just have to get kind of a physical thing going or something right yeah if it's a national security type thing um yes but then again you know your federal agencies are are um already strapped as is so you know i would not be surprised if we saw legislation within this year to increase that sort of behavior and create an infrastructure to do it with a with a snap of a finger or push of a button but who knows yeah huh that's interesting i i i have a hard time believing some people out there aren't already on that list and getting looked at whatever they buy anyway but yeah it's it's a very interesting thing this this notion of government watch lists and what that actually means well you know there's no one big list with everybody's name on it who's kind of been sort of enemy of the state for lack of a better term there's a there's a bunch of different things that kind of go into it so and it's it varies by agency too so can you talk about that at all or well i mean i you know it's really not my field of expertise and mostly domestic stuff but um i can say that say you're trying to buy a plane ticket and with you know cash money to a certain place well you know if it's a place like north korea you know somebody's obviously going to be watching that um if you're trying to especially if you're trying to transfer money you know the electronic bank transfer system is is a huge part of that so you know one person taking a weekend trip to dubai nobody cares about but if you're trying to you know make contact with like a north korean regime or something like that in order to set up a tourist visa to their country yeah you're going to get looked at and it's going to be probably by agencies we've never even heard of so i'm glad they're out there though man because frankly like you know you can give the government grow up all you want but they're protecting our ass when it comes down to it you know yeah it's such a it's such a difficult topic that we ourselves have had to kind of look at is that there's a lot of anti-government sentiment out there which is perfectly legit like i get it and then there's also the people that you know blindly trust a lot of these agencies and it's we try to walk that line between the two saying look there's good stuff out there and there's bad stuff out there we're gonna shine light on the bad stuff and make sure it doesn't happen and you know the good stuff that's happening out there we're gonna continue to try to do that's you know what we do um but i can tell you you know the the bad stuff sometimes that weighs the good stuff in a lot of cases so sometimes it's really hard to put stuff to do some good stuff too i think right yeah and well you know that that goes down a whole rabbit hole in and of itself too i mean it's um from you know military side and civilian side and you know three letter agencies it's uh a lot of good stuff happens and a lot of bad stuff happens um hopefully at the end of the day the good stuff can outweigh the bad stuff but you know as you can even see that's kind of a flawed line of thinking right so the fact that bad stuff happens at all is is not good but you know it's it's sort of the way it is and there's not a whole lot we can do to change it but when i think that i think you're right about that is it's just the way it is and it's probably not going to change yeah if nothing else it's not going to change within a time frame that would be acceptable so you know stuff like when snowden leaked what he did um you know the world and really most citizens were kind of you know outraged that this was going on this entire time so you know what he did did force to do a lot of a lot of good stuff unfortunately our adversaries look at what he did and say oh this is handy for us to know now so let's go look at it and figure out how we can exploit it you know at this at the end of the day so there's there's two sides to every coin and there's uh two edges to every sword really i'm really surprised trump didn't uh pardon snowden i would you know it would have made sense to get support but at the end of the day it kind of makes sense considering the people that are whispering in his ear from a national security perspective you know at the very top end of the food chain um it's it kind of makes sense that those people don't like what he did and the money that was cost and the sort of black eye that the nsa and the intelligence community got from that it sort of makes sense that he didn't because you know why would he would have just gotten support from people he who already supported him so right but yeah it would have been it would have been nice to see especially considering you know courts have said that he didn't really do anything wrong so that doesn't matter he cost us money yeah exactly exactly so at the end of the day it's all politics and you know we have to kind of expect politicians to do political things so amen to that man it's it's it's what it is so jake struck says i had over 15 000 followers during the virginia rally i gave out all sorts of information about the protest and they banned him from instagram and deleted his facebook he still can't make a facebook yeah that makes sense i mean virginia is a very uh virginia is a very interesting place especially when it comes to anything that goes against the status quo i mean you know at this point in time i think america is figuring out that you know somebody saying hey i politely disagree with you well that's being labeled as extremism by a lot of people out there yeah and you know something is you know i politely disagree with you that's you know that's been extremist behavior for virginia for a while unfortunately well let's jump into this because this is really the core meat and potatoes of what we're talking about here we'll get guys questions uh for sure but i want to take the opportunity right now sure so you know you bring up their mislead miss labeling people um extreme right terrorists we saw the speech with sj and i'm just going to refer to sleepy as sj i don't want to like so yeah we saw you know sj put out um a few very divisive speeches and in one of them he was saying uh all of this stuff about that you know this is about race and this is about if you know these white people wouldn't have been treated and then he's was saying all this stuff about um these people are domestic terrorists and that's not a like a term you can throw around very lightly so worried me when i heard that yeah very very serious stuff so it's it's fascinating from an intel perspective because these are tactics that people like us and you know people in government and in analytical agencies have been using for a very long time so this is where that sort of you know kernel of truth comes out when somebody like alex jones comes out and says it's all the psyop right well there's a little bit of truth to that these are certain tactics you know we all know how gaslighting works you know you do things to a person you make them question their own sanity by saying you know by either um [Music] convincing them that what they're doing they're not doing or by conv or by convincing them that they are doing behavior that you yourself are guilty of so it's it's a very interesting uh very interesting tactic that not just um not just you know politicians on the left are using but politicians on the right are using as well but right now we're kind of really seeing it come from the left unfortunately it's really missing its target a lot of times because you know we're starting to see a lot of extremist groups on the left on the political left of the spectrum we're starting to see them of course fight extremism on the right but the problem is is that when you go so far to the edge of the political spectrum you have a hard time identifying who's really the enemy so when when agencies on the left or when entities on the left try to target conservative or extreme right behavior they end up just hitting middle america they hit centers or people who you know like we said earlier in our key base server you know you end up hitting gary neck from next door instead of the actual like white supremacist or racist down the street like it's very interesting the way that it ends up shaking out because the power of information is is truly something yeah and you know speaking about the far right like neo-nazis skinheads or whatever like yeah you know i grew up in new york man when i was like a kid a kid you would like see that type of like punk skinhead thing around i don't see that stuff anymore man i mean look i get it out there like but i don't know how like to what degree it really is out there like maybe some people would like you to think yeah that's a that's a good point and we have done a considerable amount of own like internal research trying to figure out that exact thing because when you call somebody you know a fascist or a nazi or or white supremacist or whatever there's really no coming back from that so the the trick is is that really behavior that's happening or is it not and one of the things we found out is that you know this kind of an obvious statement is look white supremacy and racism and the extreme the the extremists on the right they've been around for kind of a long time yeah a long time and they've gotten really really good at hiding their behavior or if not just hiding it changing it in such a way that it becomes more palatable that's why you legitimately see at a lot of you know conservative rallies actual like white supremacists pretending to be people who favor liberty or something like that that's of course not not everybody it's not even the majority it's not even it's just a tiny little bit but it is interesting how that happens whereas extremists on the left you're going to know who they are because they tell you yeah um so conservative and or you know extremists on the far far right they're not going to tell you they're an extremist until you you know you develop some kind of rapport because they have been sort of hunted by you know federal law enforcement agencies for a long time you know ask any politician ask anybody on the national security council they're going to tell you that the number one threat to america is homegrown conservative or alt-right extremism they're not going to tell you what something like 9 11 happening again so that's really the biggest threat that we actually are facing is domestic homegrown whether it's on the left or the right but domestic homegrown stuff i i think it's kind of hard to say what our biggest threat is because the united states historically is pretty bad at this we're very we're pretty bad at seeing a major threat out there and acting on it early enough to know that it actually was a major threat like the indicators that were out there for 911 were around for years before i mean the building was bombed in 93 so we can go you know using that as an example but it's hard to say if that is the biggest one but absolutely we were 100 convinced that uh homegrown extremism from any political spectrum is definitely a major threat in today's society so when we uh see the news coverage of what happened out there in um you know in virginia unfortunately we see them trying to paint everyone there as a neo-nazi right we see one guy with like a really crude racist shirt on and you know whatever they they try to paint everyone with the same brush right do you think that there were antipas in there do you think that it was only kind of who do you think that we can if any particular one group that could kind of get the blame for that so it's kind of that's kind of an interesting thought because one thing that that really a lot of people on both sides have been looking out for is the concept of a false flag attack which is something that is not really well known um well it really wasn't well known like five years ago it's now sort of a mainstream thing you've got somebody who said who like you said say there's some guy wearing a really racist shirt at a conservative rally and they say ah the conservatives will say ah that guy was a false flag he was really like antifa or something the other way around is the same you'll see somebody wearing an antifa shirt and breaking a window in portland and the antifa will say no no that guy was a false flag attack and that's when we get into we start getting into a rut of well we don't actually know we can't actually figure this out unless we grab that guy find out who he is and investigate further which nobody's gonna do um we can't possibly know was this guy really who he says he is or was he not so it's very interesting to see because after every single event especially things like the capital or um the storming of the uh capital in michigan or any other capital situation or even anti for rioting in you know portland or in new york up there where you're at um it's it's a uh it's a hard thing to figure out what is actually happening because you've got videos and evidence from both sides saturating the market and then you add in the false info on top of that and it's just a a great big you know recipe for misinformation out there so i would i would not doubt that there are people in every major event that happens there are going to be people that show up that say they are something and they are something else entirely like that we've seen from as far as the capital is concerned because that's everybody what everybody's talking about now we have a pretty good amount of evidence that does suggest that there were extremists on the left i think mostly antifa who did masquerade or at least they plan to masquerade as conservatives with the intention of doing harm so you know whether or not that gets investigated who knows but we do have a little bit of evidence there so and it does make sense from a you know sort of tactical perspective yeah it does uh poq wants to know have you seen the 2a common sense legislation that's coming through um i heard a little bit about this but not not much i haven't i have seen that there have been a lot of gun control ask legislation come out over the past couple weeks but i haven't seen anything specific i wouldn't have really delved into that step on that because that would be uh that wouldn't be necessarily the smartest thing to do right now you know yeah it's we're starting to see a lot of people rather than trying to convince people of their ideology just kind of force it down their throat so you know some people just um the hypocrisy with a lot of politicians and political leadership and things like that is kind of gets in the way of what they're actually trying to do they would be best served to not gloat about things you know if they were trying to get something done so yeah it i have a whole lot of reservations about you know the next four years or so but yeah yeah um so trying to catch up with these questions here we're getting a lot of them so they yeah uh let's see and if you see one jay that stands out to you just let me know i'm trying to get to everybody but there's a lot of chatter back and forth too so if i missed something uh feel free guys just to sound off again yeah i'm still watching um yeah so i guess really the the kind of the consensus here from what i'm seeing in the chat is that um you know people are really confused people don't really know what to make of what's going on here it's frightening um it should be frightening and i think a lot of people just really want answers as to hey is it gonna be okay so yeah we can't answer that but in your educated opinion i mean what do we see coming down the pike here so that's something that we have we've kind of been tossing around in the shop here trying to figure out how do we convey this because one of the things that we have from the very second we had an instagram account until today we've run into the issue of how do we accurately convey a threat or an assessment or something without either seeming like you're under selling it or you're overselling it so what we think is it you know who's going to happen is we're going to go through some tough times i think that's kind of obvious um as far as specific events that are going to happen i would you know we've had hours and hours of podcasts talking about you know we're we're going to see gun control be a huge thing we're going to see um a lot of federal state and local law enforcement stuff change um from what it is to something else either it be through social action um or through governmental action um we're gonna see a lot of different stuff it's kind of hard to sort of sort of define but you know we can say you know one of the things we get asked a lot is you know i have no idea what's going on i i don't understand any of this so you're kind of an expert tell me when to panic and we absolutely are saying it is not time to panic at all it's time to be concerned i think 2020 and so far this year has shown us that yeah it's time to be concerned about certain things um but considering of how many people out there in america are willing to do the right thing or at least be educated enough to do the right thing you know well we're not uh we're not all uh you know the time is not right you know where the end is not we're not uh we're not so pessimistic is all that but um yeah we do think that a lot of things are going to happen in 2021 and they're probably going to upset a lot of different people yeah so i'm with you 100 on that i definitely don't think it's time to panic um but it is time to raise an eyebrow so yeah absolutely yep okay we got uh shades or shade is actual on here again he says what policies do you think are going to be implemented in the next year and will all states follow those policies i would say there are most certainly going to be a lot of things passed i would say probably go to the presidential uh you know the platforms of hey this is what we're going to pass the first hundred day plan i would say that's probably going to be pretty close um i would say that stuff like that if not that exact stuff like you know mass gun control mass uh agencies kind of going off the wire and doing their own sort of thing that's going to be a thing you know throughout the year not just the first hundred days um i would however say that some of that stuff is probably just by the nature of being politics is not going to happen because it's either too costly or too too difficult to do or some political pork was traded another way so i would say that generally speaking pretty much everything that was campaigned on is probably going to happen within this year if it's not companies are going to influence things and make it so anyway so that's probably what's going to happen yeah yeah i think you're gonna you're gonna see a lot of ars kind of fall into lakes um yeah yeah yeah absolutely yeah i think that the the gun control thing is probably gonna be very i think 2020 especially the end of 2020 showed us that when it comes to things like gun control really the people that were out there screaming the loudest who are saying that this is the worst possible thing that's going to happen even they were kind of underselling it um when it comes to that sort of thing um because as we know the whole ar pistol thing they uh you know found out that hey we're not just going after braces but the whole pistol itself so it's like well that's not good um yeah you had it was funny around here you know it's such a liberal place um you had people trying to buy guns and just come to realize like they've either been arrested or like they have they're not i'm not eligible what the hell are you talking about like they had no concept of how hard it really is to get one yeah it's it's not easy to do and depending on where you live it's it's you know damn near impossible sometimes so yeah exactly and the uh the old trick of uh the old argument of going down to home depot and making one yourself that's that's not exactly a realistic thing either so yeah unless you have like two three four years of experience doing it good luck man and an entire machine shop yeah um jamie says can you talk a little bit more about key base and uh so so key base is kind of where we ended up um key base is a it is a decentralized platform as far as we know there aren't any servers out there it's basically like discord but it's a little bit less user friendly but once you get on it and you start using it for different things it's uh it's something it's one of those platforms that's virtually impossible to get rid of um it's very hard to get rid of it we had a discord server where we had i think 1400 or so people in it and discord just decided hey we we don't want you around anymore so they deleted everything but they didn't just delete us everybody who had a discord account they also deleted their account for um terrorism i think it was um so yeah that can't happen with key base once you set it up you get in you're good to go um but yeah even key base isn't perfect so we have a very intense communications plan and all different kinds of platforms you can spring to but i would i would assume that based on the deep platforming we're seeing right now there are going to be some very good and interesting things come out of the tech world over the next say month or so yeah and i thought it was interesting that um you know dt was talking about you know donald was talking about um possibly doing his own thing or maybe even having somebody acquire um what is it facebook or whatever like no twitter i mean that yeah that'd be kind of interesting um i i don't know how that would work out for him but you know one of the things that kind of kept people like us and a lot of people off of places like parlor before they got shut down the sort of thing that kind of made people not go on it was how it seemed to be like a basically conservative sounding meaning if you were not conservative you weren't really welcome there well i think that as we've seen when parlor got i don't know tens of millions of accounts created that sort of even the playing field and now you have a it's not so much a sounding room anymore well before it was deleted but it's more of a more of a normal type play so i think that's what's going to happen is we're going to see a lot of platforms get created for the sole purpose of being a political sound agreement for whatever ideology but we're also going to start seeing people have to go somewhere social media is part of people's lives and if you you know get rid of half of everybody on twitter well those people that's what 80 million people or something like that they're gonna have to go somewhere so no doubt and i think you're absolutely right about that where it's going to be interesting to see what starts to shake out and i think that these companies are going to start to see a lot of you know blowback so to speak about what they're doing and how hard they're censoring and if you really think about it you know um i don't want to say guys like you and me because that makes us like sound like whatever but guys like 40 of the united states are like like-minded you know what i'm saying so yeah exactly yeah yeah it's it's um it's definitely going to be interesting to see what kind of comes out of the the tech world on this one that's for sure because we're starting to see a lot of peer-to-peer decentralized blockchain based stuff it's it's very interesting um people starting to be motivated enough to create things that can't ever be shut down even if the internet disappears they'll still be active so it's very fascinating to follow that stuff yeah that's some fascinating stuff right there as far as all that goes um so what else do you see i mean you guys number one i wanted to say for any of you out there who haven't already gone and checked out the s2 underground podcast on youtube you're missing out um if you like this type of content if you like what we put out at gutter fighting secrets with the close protection tactics and all that you're going to geek out on what these guys are putting out because it's real official like tradecraft amazing stuff um number two if you don't follow s2 go ahead and follow them um here on insta s what is the su underground backup uh yeah s2 underground i think three or four or something like that if you just search for s2 underground you'll find us perfect um and so again on key gates are on key base as well yep on key base as well just search for s2 underground on key base and that'll be where we're at cool so those are the platforms um i'm sure there'll be more in the mix we're looking you know here at getting more in the mix as well what do you think is going to happen with polar you think i i think parlor's probably gonna struggle for a while but i think they or their founders will create something else if not called parlor it's gonna be called something else but they'll eventually find a way to to get back online i don't know if that data is going to be there still so i would i would assume that anybody who had a parlor account like we had one i would assume that data is probably gone or going to be gone by the time they get a replacement but i would assume they're probably not uh they're not totally gone they'll be back i'm sure somebody would be well man i want to uh wrap it up right now so let you get you know get to your family and everything but thank you so much for coming on i know we froze up for a second there on instagram are you still with me yeah absolutely okay cool making sure they didn't boot us all right so yeah man it's um dude it's been a distinct pleasure to uh to have you on jay and i really appreciate you coming on yeah i appreciate it man likewise it's been fun so we'll have to do this again sometime absolutely i'll be looking forward to it man guys yeah no absolutely dude so i want to encourage all of you again if you don't follow me go ahead click that follow button um i've got obviously um gutterfundingsecrets.com you can always follow me on that they can't kick me off that not yet um follow s2 on instagram key base youtube and once you get there he'll give you more platforms as they come along so for all of you guys uh sades pog freaking all you guys out there who were commenting and asking questions thank you so much for coming on and i'm gonna shut up and stop rambling now and just say good night guys and please remember that you were your first and last line of defense jay thanks again appreciate it man [Music] you
