Intel Update - August 16 - No Easy Solutions

Hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground. This is the intel update for August 10th through the 16th, 2025. Believe it or not, it looks like for once we actually have a fairly slow news week, at least by comparison, so I'll be able to keep things pretty short today. But that doesn't necessarily mean that some very important things haven't happened this week. As we can see by the global strategic concerns, most of the things that have happened this week have largely been centered in the political strategery realm. Of course, I primarily mean the Alaskan peace summit which took place yesterday between the United States and Russia which was carried out with the intention of at least reaching some sort of peace deal with Ukraine. The bottom line for the very short meeting between President Trump and President Putin is that things are looking up at least with regards to a peace deal. Of course, there's plenty of conjecture, plenty of speculation because no one really knows what was discussed or uh what the terms of any kind of peace agreement might be. But we can definitely see the aftermath. Uh both parties seem to be approaching this with a level of seriousness but also of peace agreement might be. But we can definitely see the aftermath. Uh both parties seem to be approaching this with a level of seriousness but also optimism which is good. President Trump and the White House in their subsequent statements after this meeting also uh have conveyed to European world leaders that we're getting close here. So I think additional meetings have been set up as of since this first one between President Trump and President Putin went well. So the next meeting might actually take place between Zalinsky and Putin, of course, with the United States being involved as well. So of course, we don't want to be too overly optimistic on this, but just taking the temperature of most of Western Europe at large, we can see that this might actually come to an end pretty soon here. So when that happens, I guess we'll have to see how things work out. But everyone's thinking that, you know, Western Europe is upset because their cash cow will be gone uh for their moneyaundering. However, it's not as simple as that. I'm sure that does take place, but generally speaking, you have to remember this is a very large-scale war. It's been uh one of the largest land wars in Europe f at does take place, but generally speaking, you have to remember this is a very large-scale war. It's been uh one of the largest land wars in Europe for a very long time. And Western Europe very heavily poured a lot of their public sentiment into this war. So the times they are a changing and it would seem that things may start to develop afterwards. In some ways the west is going to have to find another war to fight. It may be Asia, it may be Iran, it may be somewhere else. But for right now, uh just getting across the finish line and reaching some some point of conclusion or some point of consensus in Ukraine would probably be a very good first step for determining then how the next 10 years are going to go in Europe. But only time will tell how that will go. More pressingly here both in the United States and in the United Kingdom, we seem to have very similar sets of problems this week. Namely, the discovery of a fairly persistent child slavery network in Omaha, Nebraska of all places, which we'll get into in a moment. And of course, our friends across the pond have similar issues with the migrant crisis, which is rapidly reaching ahead uh in many areas such as London. So, so ge e, our friends across the pond have similar issues with the migrant crisis, which is rapidly reaching ahead uh in many areas such as London. So, so generally speaking, the migrant crisis and the exorbitant rise in crimes that have occurred over the past few months throughout the entire British Isles continues to be a big problem and there's no real end in sight. So, that's it for the global overview. Let's go ahead and jump down into the regions for the United States. And I just briefly wanted to touch on Washington DC and what's going on there. Mostly a whole lot of nothing. Yes, the National Guard is indeed deployed throughout the city, mostly in the same roles that they've been uh for a while now. Foot patrols uh stationing them on uh street corners, things like that. But most of the activity has come from random federal agencies which have increased foot patrols throughout the city. Just my personal guess and a little bit of conjecture here is it would seem based on a lot of the images and the videos that have been provided. It seems like a lot of federal agencies have been told to get their office workers out on the street, even people who don't normally do foot patrols. Very ems like a lot of federal agencies have been told to get their office workers out on the street, even people who don't normally do foot patrols. Very obviously don't do a whole lot of foot patrolling. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people said get out there, make your presence known, and uh start getting back to basically the basics of policing. Is this having an effect on crime? Well, yes and no. In the short term, yeah, obviously because I mean, if you put an entire army on the streets, then yeah, of course, the criminals are going to go elsewhere or lie low for a little while. But in the long term, is this going to do anything? I don't know. One of the more challenging things to realize is that when it comes to power projection and force projection, this, if we phrase this or look at this through the lens of information warfare, this is what we call a display. We want to put all of our cards on the table to let all of the the, you know, adversaries out there see exactly uh what we have and mostly as a way of dominating and again projecting force, right? That's the whole point of all of this. The issue with force projection and power projection is that it's hard to do at sca in projecting force, right? That's the whole point of all of this. The issue with force projection and power projection is that it's hard to do at scale over a long period of time. So yeah, you can put 800 National Guard dudes on the street for a couple of weeks at least and shocker, the crime goes down. Yeah, that's generally how this sort of thing works. But the very minute that the attention shifts back to a point of normality, right, and all the, you know, slightly overweight feds get back to their cubicles, the criminals are going to come right back. I mean, that's just the way that it is. And I guarantee you that if you're going to tell, you know, every FBI field agent and every uh random federal agency acronym that you've never heard before, if you tell all those guys, hey, you're going to do a foot patrol every single day for a couple hours, they're just going to quit or move change to a different agency. This is just not how the these agencies are used to operating. And most of these people are have been employed by the government for many years. So me personally, I don't think this is going to really solve anything in the long term because generally speaking, force projec nment for many years. So me personally, I don't think this is going to really solve anything in the long term because generally speaking, force projection does not address the long-term problems. It doesn't doesn't address the core issue, which is that some neighborhoods in DC look like Baghdad and they don't look like Baghdad for no reason. It's the people who live there that make the city a dystopian hellscape. So, what are you going to do? I mean, I don't know. It just seems like there's not a whole lot of uh long-term planning in this. But again, want to give credit where credit is due. Crime is reduced a lot when there's a lot of cops and soldiers on the streets. But at what cost? The whole thing makes me a little nervous personally. I mean, I get it. I live through CO just like everybody else and especially the 2020 election and and the fallout from that and what happened to our capital there. So, I get it. I really do. And part of me is like, well, you know, National Guard soldiers on the street is not a good thing at all to see, especially in our capital city because of what it means. But the other part of me has been to Washington DC. And I have been to this curfew zone. A e, especially in our capital city because of what it means. But the other part of me has been to Washington DC. And I have been to this curfew zone. And if you've ever walked this curfew zone right before it starts getting dark, you probably fully support this kind of behavior. I mean, even the mainstream media, the extreme leftist media that have covered this sort of thing, even the journalists are like, "Yeah, I get why he's done this." So, I guess we're just going to have to leave it at that. Hope things don't get too authoritarian in the future and just uh hope that things work out for the best. So, that's all I've got for DC. Sorry, not a whole lot but conjecture this week. But, let's move out to the Midwest and we'll talk about something that's even more concerning, which is the child slavery networks that have been operating throughout Nebraska for many, many years. A child slavery network was allegedly shut down in Omaha, Nebraska a few days ago, which was being run by the rather infamous Chadari family. This family is very infamous around the United States for being involved in the hotel and uh hospitality economy, I guess, as we should say. Anyway, they own a lot of cheap famous around the United States for being involved in the hotel and uh hospitality economy, I guess, as we should say. Anyway, they own a lot of cheap motel in Omaha. And it turns out that they force child family members to work at the hotel for no pay. Uh they lock them away. They won't let them leave. So, the quite literally the worst possible thing you could possibly imagine. And a few days ago, uh, the feds swooped in and rescued a lot of children from their facilities. I know a lot of people may be shocked, uh, to hear that this sort of thing occurs, but this is exceptionally common throughout the, uh, hotel world. So, it's not surprising in the slightest to learn this was going on in Omaha. And this is not the first time that this exact family has been implicated for this exact thing in this exact area. Back in 2018, two other members of the Chardari family were arrested for the same exact thing, forcing their children to work uh at the hotel for no pay, locking them away, telling them that they can't leave. That 2018 case came to light after one of the children escaped. Uh so they were able to escape confinement and make it out and tell someone that they were being held agai to light after one of the children escaped. Uh so they were able to escape confinement and make it out and tell someone that they were being held against their will. They were a child slave, right? Uh at these hotels. So the two people who were implicated in that 2018 case were illegal immigrants. Shocker, right? So, they were uh given a prison sentence of 1 year and 1 day by the Department of Justice and then they were allegedly deported. The hotels themselves had absolutely no impact whatsoever. They did not close down. They didn't even stop taking reservations. They just continued on as normal, which again people seem to find to be quite odd, right? Well, the same thing happened a few days ago. So, again, five more people uh in the same area uh different members of the family this time were arrested for exactly the same thing. uh forcing children uh underage children to work at their hotels for no pay and being held against their will, locked away in closets and things like that. And just to hammer this home, these are the four hotels that were implicated in this most recent uh arrest earlier this week. So these four hotels were hit with stings. They recovered a bunch of childre els that were implicated in this most recent uh arrest earlier this week. So these four hotels were hit with stings. They recovered a bunch of children from each of these facilities and charged the owners of these hotels. But the hotels continue on. Uh they are not closed as far as I can tell. Trip Adviser uh still taking reservations and a lot of other booking and uh travel websites still have them listed. Yeah, you wouldn't know. It's just one of those things where you you probably should be aware of this sort of thing. I mean, to me, the whole thing is just insane because literally just a few weeks ago, we had I think it was 10 children rescued from an underground bunker in Alabama in the most, you know, horrifying way, right? And that's all the news can talk about, right? We we're probably going to have a documentary on this in five or six years. But here we have the institutionalized, routine, streamlined child trafficking and human slavery networks running in the same city for many, many years with the same family being involved. And once the media finds out they're from India, everybody clams up, right? Turns out human trafficking is in fact a bipartisan effort. The only dif . And once the media finds out they're from India, everybody clams up, right? Turns out human trafficking is in fact a bipartisan effort. The only difference is is where the people are from that are being trafficked, right? But anyway, uh it's a long-term issue. Need to be aware of it. especially since it's 2025 and basically everything that occurs in American existence today is looked at through the lens of politics and you're not going to find the solution in a in a political uh party for this one. So, it turns out that a lot of the worst crimes that humanity can produce uh turn out to be quite protected. I'm going to keep updating the map and uh doing what I can to keep the maps updated and try to smoke out some of these networks. But be advised, this is a bipartisan thing. And it turns out that when you try to combat human trafficking, uh, combat child slavery, you've got Democrats and Republicans coming for you. I wish it was not so, but it is. So, we've got to be pretty careful here. So, that's all I have for the United States. We're going to have to kind of just leave that for now and talk about what's been going on in the UK. And it's a similar set of problems. Now, one thi We're going to have to kind of just leave that for now and talk about what's been going on in the UK. And it's a similar set of problems. Now, one thing that we have to be aware of is timing. So the way that things work in the UK is typically we don't find out about a crime occurring sometimes until very many months later. It depends on what it is and the situation. Right? When it comes to migrant crime, a lot of the times a migrant will assault someone and then we won't find out that that crime ever occurred. It won't appear anywhere uh until many many many weeks or even many months later. When the assault occurs, nothing happens because nobody knows, right? But those, you know, five or 6 months later when the police begrudgingly release the name of the person or they're convicted or something like that, the public finds out about it and then they protest. And that's what this week has been. There have been a handful of cases that occurred a while ago uh that are now coming to light because it's now the the time where the British people are finally learning about some of these crimes that occurred back in the past. Occasionally, if it's a high-profile enough thing and there for en ple are finally learning about some of these crimes that occurred back in the past. Occasionally, if it's a high-profile enough thing and there for enough witnesses, you'll find out about an assault or some kind of migrant crime that day that it occurs. But a lot of the time, they cover it up intentionally. And this was one of the very big sticking points for a lot of the very grizzly murders that have occurred uh throughout the United Kingdom over the past couple of years. So, things are not doing super well. It turns out that there have been a lot of crimes uh committed by migrants over the past few months, and it's not getting any better. is actually getting quite worse. I really wish I could help uh help out the situation a little bit more than I I can. But anyway, the British people know uh they're starting to learn, especially when the average British person sees a crime taking place. They see a horrific murder right in front of their eyes on the street or they see some kind of assault or something that no uh no one should see in civilized society. They see that and then they see nothing in the news. that is probably more radicalizing than anything uh that they you know knew n civilized society. They see that and then they see nothing in the news. that is probably more radicalizing than anything uh that they you know knew beforehand. So immigration is a big thing here in the US. It's a big thing in Western Europe and a lot of nations are finding out exactly what happens when you let this stuff go on unchecked for a long period of time. Even legal immigration is is an issue because the UK made it legal, right? So uh all you got to do is pencil whip something and now suddenly you've got a problem. So that's pretty much all I have for today. Let's go ahead and roll things up with the intercepted ghost net reports. Again, fantastic week for using radio to communicate in a more off-grid manner. For those of you who have not heard what the ghost net is, this is a uh HF radio or highfrequency radio, old school shortwave radio plan for trying to do two things. One, have an emergency radio network, but also to have a more routine way of exchanging information without any kind of infrastructure in between. radio is really dang hard to censor and it's really hard uh to to take offline. Even with jamming or any kind of apocalyptic scenario, it's pretty hard to tak really dang hard to censor and it's really hard uh to to take offline. Even with jamming or any kind of apocalyptic scenario, it's pretty hard to take that sort of thing offline. So, being able to streamline this stuff, learn how to work radio and work out a lot of the kinks in the system is not just helpful for emergency radio stuff like it's some sort of ultra rare apocalypse scenario where the power goes out, the internet goes out, everybody's in the dark, right? Yeah, that this the ghost net can help with that sort of thing for sure, but it's more about offsetting a lot of our information needs off of the internet, off of cellular networks and onto a system that is a little bit more resilient. So, that's what the the ghost net is about. And you guys can see every week I highlight a lot of the reports that I receive from my end. It's random uh every week, but this is only a fraction of what I see. A lot of people exchange information. They transmit uh textbased messages over the radio. This is not like your standard ham radio net. So, I know a lot of hams probably don't like this sort of thing, but that's okay. This is really meant for people who like to use radio, not necessar So, I know a lot of hams probably don't like this sort of thing, but that's okay. This is really meant for people who like to use radio, not necessarily as a hobby, but as a tool. So, this whole thing will become a lot more clear, a lot easier to understand as time goes on. It just takes me a long time to write things uh write guides and handbooks and things like that. So, updates are coming. It will be better and uh yeah, I think it's already a pretty good system as is, but everything can be made better. So, that's exactly what we're going to do. So, that's all I have for today. Here are the sources as usual. plan. Of course, you can find all of these links on my Obsidian page where I host all of my research for the reports I write throughout the week. I'm working on organizing that a little bit more as well to make things a little easier to understand and consume. And hopefully it helps uh those of you who want to see the primary source material for yourself. So, so again, that's all I have for today. Thank you again for watching and thank you for all of your support. I could not do uh this stuff without you guys. And the world's not going to get any better without each of us ch nd thank you for all of your support. I could not do uh this stuff without you guys. And the world's not going to get any better without each of us chipping in the best that we can and using the skills that we have to make the world a little bit more livable. So, thank you again and I will see you next time. And as always, fight in the shade.
