Intel Update - August 2 - Make Criminals Afraid Again

Hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground. This is the intel update for July 27th through August 2nd, 2025. It has unfortunately been a rather brutal week around the United States when it comes to general crime. So today I'm only going to be able to scratch the surface. I am still trying to get caught up with regards to a lot of the kinetic activities and events that have been going on around the country and around the world. But from a very wavetop level, we can cover some of the more high-profile incidents that have occurred around the United States. most of which pertains to a few cases of very brutal but also very random crimes. Of course, with the general caveat that it's really hard to determine if if there really is an increase in crime or not, but random violence appears to be uh on the rise at least. The other big news this week has pertains to the developments in Washington, mostly regarding the Epstein scandal and how that story continues to become worse somehow every day. It is a very fatiguing topic. I I know uh but we have to keep this in our mind mostly so that it's not forgotten but also due to the national security risks. So moving over to Europe, th ow uh but we have to keep this in our mind mostly so that it's not forgotten but also due to the national security risks. So moving over to Europe, the big concerns this week have been largely the fallout from the online safety act and the spread of privacy reduction efforts throughout the continent really at this point. And fortunately some good news for once in Southeast Asia. The war between Cambodia and Thailand is mostly over. The issue is most certainly not settled. Uh both Cambodia and Thailand still hate each other fairly effectively. But the air strikes and the shelling of each other has uh largely subsided for now. We'll have to see if it holds. Uh probably won't hold, but maybe we can get a few more months of peace before things uh flare back up again. So, that's the general overview for this week. Let's talk strategic movement. And there has been quite significant strategic movement over the past few days. We've got multiple carrier strike groups that are underway right now. Most of them are either conducting training or uh swapping out. So the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and the Teddy Roosevelt are out in the Pacific right now. The Gerald Ford is in the Med or h swapping out. So the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and the Teddy Roosevelt are out in the Pacific right now. The Gerald Ford is in the Med or at least was seen off the coast of Italy a few days ago. The Nimttz remains in the Indian Ocean and the Washington carrier strike group was noted off the coast of Indonesia a few days ago. I also briefly wanted to mention because I think it does qualify as a strategic movement sort of thing, the comments that President Trump made last night in which he stated that he has ordered the deployment of two quote unquote to nuclear submarines to an ambiguous location. I'm assuming probably the Norwegian Sea or the Arctic. This is mostly a posturing move in response to uh both Russia's recent statements or statements by Dmitri Medvidev that have been a little bit inflammatory, more inflammatory than usual and also the general sentiment of the United States trying to pressure Russia into a peace deal with Ukraine. So this is one of those cold war things. It's not really concerning in the slightest to be honest. I don't know what he means when he says nuclear submarines. All American submarines are nuclear. So, I don't know if he means nuclear st to be honest. I don't know what he means when he says nuclear submarines. All American submarines are nuclear. So, I don't know if he means nuclear capable like a, you know, SSBN, a boomer submarine, or if he's talking about a nuclearpowered submarine, like an attack sub. I don't know. It it doesn't really matter. It's just kind of one of those things that the mainstream media has picked up and people are kind of freaking out about it. This is not concerning in the slightest. Uh, really, this is kind of a normal thing. I would be very shocked to learn that we don't have submarines off of, you know, Russia's coast at all times, especially the mouth of the White Sea. Uh that's pretty much a standard deployment area and has been so since I don't know the 80s. But you know, anytime the president says the word nuclear and talks about nuclear submarines, this kind of gets a little bit more inflammatory than normal and people kind of get all spun up over stuff like this. So I don't know, Russia will probably do something in in retaliation. They normally what they like to do during the summertime especially is they'll send an Aula down. They'll send one of their attack subs and just kin . They normally what they like to do during the summertime especially is they'll send an Aula down. They'll send one of their attack subs and just kind of, you know, hang out off the east coast of the United States. They like to do this around American holidays especially just to kind of well one to let us know that you know they're watching but also to ruin our holiday plans uh to you know recall people to base to you know go out and monitor some kind of submarine or mo mostly aircraft. They tend to do that quite a lot. They'll do a long range aviation mission and they'll fly some of their bombers usually off our west coast. Um it doesn't normally get much press. The United States will talk about an interception and things like that. So that's my personal guess as to what they're going to probably do. They may wait till the next holiday. They may do it now. Who knows? It's just one of those cold war things. It's not really concerning. When when nations stop doing these kinds of things is probably more concerning. Either way, doesn't really matter. I just thought I'd mention it because this is probably going to be in the news cycle for the next few days. So, moving on to just a qui really matter. I just thought I'd mention it because this is probably going to be in the news cycle for the next few days. So, moving on to just a quick map update. I'm I'm still trying to get caught up with all of the mapping projects that I have. the kinetic activity tracker, the common intelligence picture, all these uh different layers and map map products that I that I make. I've still got a lot of data to input on the map, but what I'm working on now is kind of a work in progress is I'm going through because I found a few good sources. I'm going through and mapping all of the sites in the United Kingdom, uh which have been uh helping out, uh with regards to human trafficking and helping uh migrants get a more solidified foothold in the United Kingdom. I was working on our own American border crisis stuff, but I've started to add this to the map as well simply because of the online safety act and now that the Great British Firewall is in effect and the British people are now having a hard time accessing information. I wanted to get this at least in my own data sets. So, this is really just what I've been able to do so far. This is just a snapshot of of some of the sites that a et this at least in my own data sets. So, this is really just what I've been able to do so far. This is just a snapshot of of some of the sites that are hosting illegal immigration into the United Kingdom. Or I guess it shouldn't be really called illegal immigration in the United Kingdom because they've made it legal. So I guess we'll just call it what it is on the map, which is human trafficking. So So this data set will incorporate all of the sites in the United Kingdom that are kind of doing the same thing as as what's going on here in the United States, but more deliberately in the UK because they have really industrialized it a little bit more than than we have in many areas. So, please bear with me as I build out this data set. This is just a sample. This is just the Manchester, Liverpool area, and I'm just getting started. So, it's going to take me a few more days to kind of finish this out. So, stay tuned for updates on that. And of course, all of these data layers, maps, online maps, KMZs, all that stuff. You can find that in the description box below. So, moving through the United States, speaking of immigration issues, an incident occurred in Maine this week, which didn' the description box below. So, moving through the United States, speaking of immigration issues, an incident occurred in Maine this week, which didn't really get much press, which is the arrest of a man by ICE for immigration violations. He was a visa overstay from Jamaica. But once they did a little bit more investigation, they found out this guy is actually a police officer. The town of Old Orchard Beach uh decided to hire this individual as a police officer even though he was a visa overstay from Jamaica. So, it's kind of interesting because it's Maine and a lot of people uh seem to be quite shocked when they learn that illegal aliens can in fact be police officers in many states. They've made that legal over the past year. Kind of interesting. It'll be even more interesting to find out what the feds are going to do about this because it's not like they're able to hide which police officers they have on their force, you know, so ICE can very easily find out which police officers are illegal aliens. And uh yeah, I don't know if they have any interest in in going after some of these police departments or whatnot, but I guess it'll be interesting to see. And speaking of crime, the y have any interest in in going after some of these police departments or whatnot, but I guess it'll be interesting to see. And speaking of crime, there have been several very brutal attacks that have occurred throughout the southeast region this week. In Georgia, there was an attempted murder at the Low Gap campground. Details are still very sketchy on this situation, but this was a wilderness area campground in which a man and his daughter were attacked by a group of people. The man was hit over the head with a glass bottle which knocked him out and gave him a very severe series of lacerations. The man's daughter, who was a 20-year-old woman, was able to fend off her attackers by stabbing one or several of them. I haven't been able to verify that or not, but yeah, fairly brutal attack uh in basically the middle of nowhere. Same story in Arkansas. a double homicide occurred at the Devil's Den State Park. This story continues to develop and I'm sure there will be a lot more uh more recent information by the time this brief comes out on this case, but this truly does look like one of those random uh psychopaths in the woods hunting people kind of thing. And unfortunately, both of th n this case, but this truly does look like one of those random uh psychopaths in the woods hunting people kind of thing. And unfortunately, both of these cases, both the assault in Georgia and the Arkansas murders, both of them really do highlight the risks that are now present, and I don't know if they've always been present, but they're certainly present now with regards to remote areas. We can bring up any level of statistics that show the level of violence and crime that occurs in, you know, state parks versus cities and, you know, inner city areas. We can analyze it very heavily when it comes to the statistics. But just from a gut assessment perspective, you've got to remember that if you're out in the middle of nowhere and your average 911 call time, if you can even get cell service, your average respon response time is going to be probably half a day. You've got to take that into account and and and prepare and plan accordingly. getting severe lacerations to an artery is a lot different in, you know, a city where 911 or authorities may even be witnessing the attack. It's a lot different uh when you've got that happen in a very populated area versus in the middle of nowhere, ties may even be witnessing the attack. It's a lot different uh when you've got that happen in a very populated area versus in the middle of nowhere, right? That's why, and I I don't know if the statistics back this up, but it seems like when you have crimes that occur in the middle of nowhere, state parks, wilderness areas, things like that, these are crimes that tend to take place over a long period of time. It's not just a oneanddone. somebody sucker punches somebody and then runs away. No, these crimes take a very long period of time uh to come to completion such as the case in Arkansas which that that appears to be a you know very long event unfortunately. So that's something to keep in mind from a riskmanagement perspective. Most people either directly or indirectly subconsciously understand the concept of the idea that when seconds count help is hours away. Like that's just kind of the American attitude at this point. I think maybe not for everybody, but for a lot of people, but these types of very gruesome crimes still keep happening and it's something to definitely be aware of. Sometimes people forget, sometimes people uh think that because of a certain political event or ppening and it's something to definitely be aware of. Sometimes people forget, sometimes people uh think that because of a certain political event or development that they're safe now, and that's just that's definitely not the case, regardless of who's who's in charge, right? Also, in the southeast region, I did want to mention the arson attack that occurred in Virginia. Just as a point of clarification, because I realize a lot of people had uh confusions about this when they saw the news story, in a lot of small towns around the United States, I'm not sure how it is in in bigger cities, but in smaller towns, it's very common for county commissioners and for city council members to have day jobs. So, they don't do that full-time. And that's what happened here. So, this person was a city councilman, but he wasn't attacked at the city council uh chambers or the city hall or anything like that. He was attacked at his day job, which was at a magazine company. So, he worked for a publishing uh company that owned a few different uh magazines and publications for the local area. So, anyway, the guy who had agreements with him for some personal reason, at least that's what the locals are s s and publications for the local area. So, anyway, the guy who had agreements with him for some personal reason, at least that's what the locals are saying. It was a personal thing. It wasn't a political thing, but but anyway, asalent barges into this guy's office, dumps 5 gallons of gasoline on the floor, and uh the city councilman obviously runs away from the area uh covered in gasoline. And the the attacker had a scuffle with him out in the street uh right right on the sidewalk there, outside this building. and ended up setting him on fire. So, that's pretty much all that we know about the situation as far as I can tell. But obviously, this level of very brutal crime is uh something that you don't see too often in a small town like this. So, indications and warnings, I guess, of uh general sentiment throughout the United States maybe, or at least uh in some areas, which definitely seems to be a trend. Now moving over to the west coast, another unfortunate trend is the deliberate and kinetic targeting and persecution of Christians in Seattle. So this has rapidly become a problem uh that has now escalated to murder. Now I'll state right up front that the backstory for this uh situ n Seattle. So this has rapidly become a problem uh that has now escalated to murder. Now I'll state right up front that the backstory for this uh situation in Seattle would take hours to explain, but the short version of the story is that pretty much anything to do with Christianity is very much demonized in Seattle. Uh Seattle is very anti-Christian from the city uh city officials to the police. It's it's very much an anti-Christian place, right? Uh and there are enclaves around the around the city where it's just a dystopia. There's no other way to to describe it. Ever since Antifa was able to gain a foothold throughout the city during the the CHAZ era, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, things have just kind of not gotten any better. and the Pursuit Northwest Church, they have become kind of well known for being more outspoken against things like transgenderism and against abortions and things like that. And of course, being anti- those things in Seattle, the the sort of mecca for that kind of behavior, you're going to get a lot of haters and that's kind of been the way that things go. However, now this has progressed to murder. So there was an event, a church event, I think it w haters and that's kind of been the way that things go. However, now this has progressed to murder. So there was an event, a church event, I think it was a barbecue or something that was being held at one of the facilities there just to the north of the University of Washington and there was a deliberate ambush. So someone was sitting in a car parallel parked on the street and that opened fire uh on Christians who were trying to walk down the street to go to the church event. So this was most certainly an ambush of uh Christians trying to attend a church event. even the Seattle Police Department, uh, which has been very anti-Christian this entire time, uh, even they had to admit that this was going on. So, yeah, it's, uh, it's not a good situation and, uh, there there doesn't really appear to be any end in sight when it comes to the actual, you know, beating and now killing of Christians in Seattle. There's been no federal interest in investigating any of this stuff. So, yeah, that's the situation as it stands. Uh, I am doing my own investigation uh, into a lot of this, so sorry to not have too much detail. uh to sink our teeth into at the moment. A lot of this is firsthand research vestigation uh, into a lot of this, so sorry to not have too much detail. uh to sink our teeth into at the moment. A lot of this is firsthand research on my own part and the bottom line is that it's very risky. Uh this church will continue to be targeted and since there has been a successful murder at this church, there will be more. I guarantee it. Uh the Seattle Police Department is not interested in protecting this church. It is a very high-risk environment. Uh just looking and doing a very rudimentary clicking around a Google Earth train analysis of what's going on here. This is a very high-risisk situation. uh and I very much hope and pray that people can stay safe in this region. But from a threat analysis perspective, this is a very very very dangerous situation. So prepare accordingly. Definitely be aware of this and most certainly be aware of this if you are also in a different city that has uh that is very much hosted to far-left extremist militant, especially armed militant activity. This has become a huge thing throughout the Northeast and even the Midwest. And the targeting of churches is is something that the United States, the feds are not interested in. They just do the Northeast and even the Midwest. And the targeting of churches is is something that the United States, the feds are not interested in. They just do not care. Uh they care more about, you know, mean things being said at universities than actual people being killed in the street uh openly and in broad daylight kind of thing. So, I don't want to harp on this too much. Actually, you know what? That's a lie. I do want to harp on this quite a lot. I want to shout about this until I'm blue in the face because personally, this whole thing makes me quite angry in many different ways. And I think that personally, we should make criminals afraid again. Yeah, I know. I know we can have a longer discussion on what that actually means and what that looks like in practice over time. But you know what? If we cannot muster up just half an ounce of righteous anger just purely for motivational reasons to get ourselves and others serious about stopping violent criminals, what are we doing here? So, that's kind of where I'm at personally with regards to the the products that I'm working on and my uh kind of mentality moving forward. I've had enough. I had enough years ago and uh we're going to start o the the products that I'm working on and my uh kind of mentality moving forward. I've had enough. I had enough years ago and uh we're going to start doing what we can to to kind of push back on this because societal change is the first step and societal atmospherics are the first step, right? I don't know what it looks like in practice, but you know what? I know that the first step is for people to say enough. And we're going to have to have many little cases of that all around the United States. You know, enough. No, we are not accepting people just kicking in doors in Florida uh for no reason because they say it's a quote unquote prank. No, we're not doing that anymore. Christians having to arm themselves for battle like they're going to walk through the green zone in Baghdad just so they can go to church on Sunday. Yeah. No, we're not going to accept that any longer. I'm going to do what I can to uh figure out some solutions moving forward. But for right now, the best thing that I can do is encourage everyone to just get fed up with this. We should not have to live like this and we're going to uh figure out ways of of making sure that we're going to change society for the bett ith this. We should not have to live like this and we're going to uh figure out ways of of making sure that we're going to change society for the better because this is unacceptable. It has been unacceptable since before I even started this whole project. But the average American experience in this country has become increasingly more unacceptable regardless of who's in power. And we're going to do what we can to change that. So, first step is knowledge, understanding the threat, understanding the risks, and being prepared for that. That's a crucial first step. And uh we'll figure out the steps two through a million u in due time. But we've got to start somewhere. And I know we've already started this. People have been working on this forever, but I've honestly recently just hit a recent bout of I'm fed up with this. Yeah. So, I'm going to have to uh reignite my own efforts to do what I can at least in the in the information space so that people are at bare minimum aware and then then maybe they can use some of my products to help them out. So, but anyway, enough on that. We'll do the best we can. It's not a hopeless situation at all. We definitely have the ability to affect change m out. So, but anyway, enough on that. We'll do the best we can. It's not a hopeless situation at all. We definitely have the ability to affect change and uh change for the better and we'll do what we can, especially considering what's about to come down the pipeline which is uh appeared in Western Europe and that is censorship or the lack of privacy or both. uh it's two separate issues that are really kind of morphing into one. So, like I've been writing about for a few days now, the uh online safety act in the United Kingdom is starting to grow in scope and size. There's been a lot of talk back and forth, not a lot of solid information either way. Uh but there's been talk of banning VPNs or restricting them or regulating them in some way. There's been talk of other kinds of censorship efforts. and of course other nations throughout Western Europe immediately picked up on the idea of the OSA and uh they're trying to implement the same thing in their countries because anytime a uh means of controlling the population comes out and other nations see it uh it immediately spreads like wildfire. So Western Europe's kind of on fire with regards to privacy and data concerns and it all jus r nations see it uh it immediately spreads like wildfire. So Western Europe's kind of on fire with regards to privacy and data concerns and it all just kind of appeared out of nowhere, right? It's just it just appeared out of nowhere that we're now back to 2019 2020 levels of internet censorship, right? kind of interesting how that just appears out of nowhere. And just to take the tiniest peak uh down a very deep rabbit hole to maybe explain or I don't know add a little bit more context is the canary in the coal mine that is the video game community. I know that this is something that's not in my wheelhouse at all, but I do want to mention it because I think it's interesting. For those who are unaware, and as strange as it may be, it turns out that over the past few years, video game culture, the video game community has really been instrumental in being the canary in the coal mine for world events, which is interesting. We've got everything from Gamergate to the whole GameStop financial thing. Um, you don't tend to think about it, but the world of video games is a very, very expensive enterprise. It's uh what it's one of the ways that we can sort of understand what a lot of younge t the world of video games is a very, very expensive enterprise. It's uh what it's one of the ways that we can sort of understand what a lot of younger people are thinking these days through video games, through how things do financially, what games are popular, things like that. Uh there's a lot more to it than that, especially when it comes to like the culture and uh the development with a lot of these companies. It's mostly centered around the the financial companies that are involved in making video games and things like that. And I wanted to mention this in the context of the UK online safety act because I think the two are related and I think they're going to be merging together. So a few days ago there was a fairly big scandal when one of the main uh merchants for video games, the Valve Corporation, which owns Steam, the platform where most I would say most at least definitely most PC games are being bought and sold. You know, we're talking very large corporation here. uh they suddenly delisted a lot of adult games, a lot of um you know not safe for work video games. Now my personal feelings on that kind of filth and degeneracy aside, what happened next was quite interesting you know not safe for work video games. Now my personal feelings on that kind of filth and degeneracy aside, what happened next was quite interesting. So people noticed a lot of these games disappeared from the marketplace, right, from the store. So they asked questions like what happened here? And Valve, the owner of the store, said it was Mastercard. Mastercard says, uh even though these games are perfectly legal to own, they're not like illegal content. Mastercard says, "We don't like that for our advertisers. So, you must delist all these games from your store." So, this little spat got absolutely zero traction uh when it came out because honestly, we're talking about a very small population that's affected uh by this sort of thing. And because we're talking about largely degenerate kinds of content, nobody really cared, right? You know, nobody normal cared at least. But, interestingly enough, in the context of the online safety act, we have been given a very clear lens through which to view the master plan that's going forward. So, I would be willing to bet that the Online Safety Act, because that act is trying to market and bill itself as being a well, let's protect the chil So, I would be willing to bet that the Online Safety Act, because that act is trying to market and bill itself as being a well, let's protect the children from from adult content online sort of thing, but it was immediately used to crack down on on political disscent because that's the flavor that they're trying to to go for with this. My bet is that there's now going to be a financial aspect to this as well as pointed out by many articles that were written a couple of days ago which talk about Visa and Mastercard being the enforcement arms for the online safety act more or less in effect not not officially but you see how this is now a financial thing. So, this is why this is kind of interesting because uh something that personally most people I don't think would care about. Some little really niche problem within the video game community kind of gave us a very inside view as to what the next totalitarian step was going to be. And in this case, it appears to be finance. That appears to be the next line of effort. So, all right, you got to show your passport to view Wikipedia. But if we determine that you looked at the wrong thing on Wikipedia, there's your bank account locked, rig ot to show your passport to view Wikipedia. But if we determine that you looked at the wrong thing on Wikipedia, there's your bank account locked, right? Or even better than that, if you're an author who writes an article that has say something against the British government in it and you're trying to get paid for making that article, well, Visa and Mastercard shut down the transaction. See? So, we see how this is kind of a very, very easy connect the dots puzzle, right? You go from one to two to three very quickly and very easily. And the video game community, the scandals with Steam that nobody cared about, gave us a pretty good inside view to that before the plan came to light. So, I thought that was kind of interesting. It's maybe not directly related, but it just it does go to show how you have to kind of think outside the box when it comes to a lot of this stuff. For instance, children getting around the online safety act. Uh they figured out that there's like five or six video games uh that will allow you to, you know, manipulate the character in such a way like in the settings menus or uh in some kind of photo mode or whatever uh to where you can very easily bypass all of t te the character in such a way like in the settings menus or uh in some kind of photo mode or whatever uh to where you can very easily bypass all of the face checks and ID scans and things like that. So, that's pretty interesting. Uh, I think that ignoring what's going on in the video game realm is probably not a wise idea when it comes to censorship because they've proven time and time again that, you know, things that happen in this realm, even though, you know, most people might now want to care about it, uh, things that happen in this realm are very interesting for providing indications and warnings for things like government totalitarianism. So anyway, I thought that was kind of interesting and a good way to kind of wrap things up because it seems like we're returning to form in many ways with regards to very brutal crimes uh picking up uh seemingly out of nowhere, censorship efforts coming out of nowhere and very much a two-tiered policing system being implemented here in the United States as well. So most certainly something to keep us on our toes for the next few years. And with that, that's pretty much all I have for today. So let's roll through the intercepted ghost repor keep us on our toes for the next few years. And with that, that's pretty much all I have for today. So let's roll through the intercepted ghost reports for this week. And hopefully hopefully may maybe we're uh seeing the importance of uh of radio and uh maybe not the exact tools that we have but the general idea of being able to communicate with one another in such a way that it's very very hard to shut down. Right? Because this week we can see at least someone was talking about the uh immigrant who was uh rolled up in Maine for uh being a visa overstay. If you were to talk about a similar situation like that in the United Kingdom, your account would probably be locked or you wouldn't be able to talk about that sort of thing. But with radio, you can. So, it's not completely censorship resistant. It's not completely censorship proof, but it's a lot harder to jam a radio signal than it is to call up Twitter and say, "Delete your account." Right? That's it's a lot easier when you're on the internet. But if you're off the internet, if you're just using radio stuff, it's pretty hard to censor. So, so anyway, hopefully we can improve this uh over time and make it better and learn how to u're just using radio stuff, it's pretty hard to censor. So, so anyway, hopefully we can improve this uh over time and make it better and learn how to do it and continue to do good things and share good information. So, so thank you again to all of you who contribute to make the ghost net a good thing and we'll keep on keeping on with it for the time being. So, that's all I have for today. Thank you again for watching. Here are the sources as usual and thanks for bearing with me as we talk through some of these more nuanced and kind of hard to describe issues sometimes. So, the world's changing uh sometimes for the better, sometimes for uh not so good. But either way, change is the constant, right? And I think it's going to be up to us to make sure that that change is constantly in a good direction. So, we're definitely going to try to do that as best we can. So, thank you again for watching. Thank you for all of your support. And we will see you next time. And as always, find in the shade.
