Intel Update - March 1 - Snowballing Situations

Hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground this is the Intel update for February 23rd through March 1st 2025 there have been a lot of things that have happened this week as you guys have known it's continuingly a crazy time. However I don't want to waste your time by dragging out things that have already kind of been discussed so let's move through some of this stuff pretty quickly last week's concern regarding Aviation incidents has really continued. However this week we have had really just more along the lines of routine kinds of things for instance uh out of New York American Airlines flight 29 2 which was bound for Delhi was diverted to Rome uh in Italy for a bomb threat that was uh somehow transmitted to American Airlines either way the aircraft was diverted to run for a security inspection nothing was found and the aircraft continued on to Delhi I have seen a lot of testimony from people who have flown this particular Long Haul flight a few times before and they've said that this has happened several times before I could not find any reference to that. But several people are saying that this particular flight uh especially ones going into Delhi from you know major world cities around the globe tend to have bomb threats on them occasionally either way uh this one was kind of diffused. Even though it got kind of a lot of press coverage due to being intercepted by military aircraft uh while it was being diverted to Rome similar situation in New Jersey a rather you know viral video showed FedEx flight FDX 3609 with one of their engines on fire uh rather concerningly so this was the result of a bird strike on takeoff so once again fairly standard operation. Even though it looked looks quite concerning from the ground this was a fairly routine thing so they returned to the airport all is well everything went to plan with regards to the emergency response something a little bit more out of the ordinary this week we had two incidents of a Delta aircraft the first one was Delta flight 876 which was a regional flight Bound for Columbia South Carolina once again smoke filling the cabin uh no real explanation of what happened or or why this happened. However the emergency procedures were carried out in accordance with essentially what you were supposed to do aircraft landed without incident uh several passengers were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. But other than that it was fairly standard what made this one kind of sketchy for a lot of people this week is that there was another flight out of California another Delta flight that also had smoke fill in the cabin I don't have any images of that or or really much more information than that. However uh yeah a lot of people thought it was kind of sketchy that Delta had two Smoke Filled passenger cabin incidents roughly on the same day uh so I don't know what all that's about the two aircraft were two separate air frames there really isn't probably going to be very much we can learn from that and once again with all of these aircraft incidents it's going to largely be up to you as to whether or not you're going to decide is this out of the norm and is the data that we are capturing and logging on these types of incidents is that data actually helping us make an assessment or is it really just not helping us very much again that's all all on you to decide before we move on I I quickly wanted to mention something that I think is going to be very quickly forgotten and that is the recent sort of Scandal or concerns with the US bullion depository at Fort Knox in Kentucky this is one of the oldest uh conspiracy theories in the US uh regarding Fort Knox essentially the the theory goes that well Fort Knox has secretly been emptied out and there's no more gold there this has happened many times throughout American history the these concerns coming about because obviously it's not something that you you know can publicly view right so one of the more recent concerns kind of came to a head in 1974 uh in which case the US government opened up the Fort Knox vaults and uh showed the public the gold is still there brought in a lot of journalists and things like that. But Fort Knox has not participated in any kind of audit or media coverage or any kind of proof uh showing operation since then so the White House and the sort of Department of government efficiency Doge so Trump and musk decided hey this would be a very quick thing to to kind of get off people's you know minds and very a very quick little audit just take a trip to Fort Knox and see if the Gold's still there and show it to to the cameras and uh hopefully Independent Media as you might expect current events that we're going to talk about here in a moment have back burner this issue understandably so uh. However you can't just really bring up Fort Knox and one of the most substantial conspiracy theories you know in in US history and then never address it again and hope that people just kind of forgot about it it does nothing. But but fuel distrust so I did want to keep it fresh in people's minds so it would be a very quick and easy thing to do and I guess we'll have to see if uh if this gets readdressed again at some point in time when uh things calm down a little bit so moving over to the the Fiasco that everyone is is talking about in Washington DC many things have transpired this week there have been several State visits to the White House over the past week or so most notably the United Kingdom and Ukraine so once again the whole internet is a buzz with the Fiasco at the White House yesterday afternoon involving president zalinsky of Ukraine I would encourage everyone to watch the 4550 minute full coverage of uh the dialogue between President Trump and president zalinsky if you have the time it's uh it's a it it adds a little bit more context. But just in case you didn't want to do that the short cliffnotes version is that uh zalinski showed up with a different idea in mind regarding how the uh discussions would go just to delineate my personal opinion on on why this particular uh engagement occurred I think that zalinsky hasn't had a world leader ever push back on him I think that the answer has always been to his personal presence has been to give him more money so the very first time that a world leader pushed back on it uh pushed back on that kind of attitude it it didn't go very well so following that incident there are multiple reports of how it goes again this is all just basically celebrity gossip at this point there are many reports that state or indicate that zilinski was thrown out of the White House against his will president Trump has confirmed this General sentiment via uh statements with the Press once again we're in the we're in the world of diplomacy here it's not like Trump is going to say get the hell out of my house kind of thing it's going to be handled a little bit more delicately than that. But the message was certainly conveyed to his team that he needs to leave as one can probably guess this marks a very sharp departure from prior American sentiment on the war and it resulted in a lot of things happening really all at once so some of the things that have occurred sort of in the same realm uh let's not forget that this has been brewing for some time for instance a lot of the mainstream media articles have uh mentioned that usaid and the US government through usaid has pulled their uh Financial Funding for a restoration of Ukraine's electrical grid well this was not a result of what happened yesterday this uh funding PLL was already scheduled many many days prior to this right around the time frame that zalinski started to get a little mouthy with regards to uh not being invited to the peace table in with regards to meeting with Russian delegations in Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago if you guys remember that zinski got a little upset about that and the United States tried to pressure him by removing you know a very easy thing to do which is USA ID funding one of the more interesting things that occurred which I think is purely more of a canary in the coal mine with regards to what Congress thinks now is that Senator Lindsey Graham has essentially turned on zalinski again like I wrote very delicately and very carefully worded you're going to see a lot of uh a lot of daggers come out and this is one of the bigger canaries if you know what I mean so Senator Lindsey Graham for many of you especially the Europeans who probably don't know Senator Lindsey Graham is probably one of the biggest warhawks in Congress this is an indisputable fact uh he is the most proar Congressman that there is especially when it comes to Ukraine he has been one of the ones who has uh gotten a lot of visible gratification uh from this war and him turning on zalinski when he was one of zelinsky's closest allies in the United States that's a very big indicator of what is what is to come with regards to Ukraine essentially being dropped by the US I have also seen some limited reporting from various uh not quite Ukrainian media because Ukrainian media doesn't really exist in its in its most free form I should say I guess uh. But sort of Eastern European media has claimed that impeachment articles have been filed in Ukraine uh to alist to zalinski I don't know if that's true or not I would not be surprised in the slightest I would be honestly quite surprised if zalinski got on his plane and actually flew back to Ukraine it might not be in zelinsky's best interest to go back to his country at this point that's how badly this this uh incident happened. But I guess we will have to see on the other side of the aisle I have seen the report from the secretary of defense or rather just kind of through the grape Vines it's not like we have the physical order itself. But there have been reports that the Secretary of Defense Pete Heth has ordered us cybercom to stop essentially all hostile hacking actions against Russia I don't know if that's true or not there's no way to verify it either way because one I I didn't think we were supposed to admit publicly that we did that sort of thing. Even though I mean we obviously do and I don't think that Russia is going to reciprocate I don't know they might I don't know but when it comes to the world of cyber everyone is is spying on each other everyone is conducting DDOS attacks against each other it's very clear that everybody's just kind of you know in a war with everyone else especially if you're adversaries so whether it's right or wrong it doesn't matter it's what happens uh and if we're going to start letting essentially letting our foot off the gas with regards to Russia then that is a very serious change in policy with regards to Ukraine War so we'll have to see how it works out we probably won't know. But I guess it will be very very interesting times indeed I'm also seeing limited reporting this morning again from mainstream media articles which are completely untrustworthy but I have no other no other sources I've seen limited reporting that the US is essentially just were done with Ukraine I don't know if that's true or not. But I did just want to mention it because if this is true and if the us is going to uh really pivot away from Ukraine so as to achieve a peace deal without really involving Ukrainian leadership or at least zalinsky himself then things are going to happen very very quickly uh we're going to see a lot of things happen very quickly and we have seen this in Europe essentially pretty much every single European leader has come out and said we're going to support Ukraine uh as best we can because the United States is well we're bad guys now right well it's going to be interesting to see how that actually works out because you know wishing does not make it so it's not going to happen you know strongly emails and shows of solidarity and putting a Ukrainian flag in your bio on social media that's not going to churn out artillery shells in a factory somewhere it's just not going to happen most of the Munitions that are making a difference in Ukraine as in all of the Munitions that are making a difference in Ukraine are americanmade so I don't know what Europe is hoping to do here other than just prolong the fighting. But a lot of people are going to be very very very upset by what they read and hear over the next few days weeks months with regards to the Ukrainian war and I don't just mean the leftists political leftists here in the United States I think a lot of conservatives are going to be very very upset too um. But we can get to that at a later time a lot closer to home let's talk about the situation in Lincoln Heights Ohio like I mentioned last week and the week before this situation continues to deteriorate and now it's essentially more or less a textbook case of an Insurgency if if I'm allowed to say that in the court of public opinion I know that it's a small area. But I have continued to update the map as best I can uh and will continue to do so as long as this stays a problem mostly because this is expanding as as you might expect right the power vacuum like I said a couple weeks ago has not been addressed the authorities granted the authorities kind of abandoned this area years ago the police department shut down and and rolled into other jurisdictions. But it's uh we're now starting to see the rapid expansion phase of of Insurgency type operations and now it's starting to threaten the nearby Township of Evendale across the Interstate there so again you guys can check out the map you can click around and see what's happening there's not that much data on it I will admit it's not that good of a project. But uh you got to remember that really only the extreme uh far-left media groups are are going to these places and are allowed to go in there because the people in the this area which is expanding by the day are restricting access to certain people this is the kind of thing that happens we just have intelligence gaps all all around and we just have to do the best we can with the information that we're given. But I did want to keep it R in everyone's Minds not necessarily because this is going to expand like like a lot I mean it will probably continue to expand into the local area. But let's face it you know criminal gangs in the United States are are very much different than say like the Taliban or Al-Qaeda or Isis they're they're just not the same uh in terms of the capabilities and threats they provide and it doesn't mean that it's it's all hunky dory. But I'm not entirely concerned about Lincoln Heights taking over the whole state of Ohio if you know what I mean. However this is a case study this is a good learning opportunity because you're allowed to see how Insurgent groups form in real time on American soil uh this is a very interesting case to follow so that's that's kind of why I'm I'm following it. But once again we will just have to wait and see how it all turns out so far really all we can do is just watch because the authorities are definitely not interested in doing anything at all as a matter of fact the the legal and lawful authorities say the city council mayor of Lincoln Heights they are the ones that are helping drive this so watching the interesting dynamic between say the gang members on the streets with guns and the political leadership of the area that was elected right you see this Dynamic forming and you see how cohesion uh helps keep all of this together it's not just gang members you know recruiting more and more people there is a a hierarchy here there's a lot more organization than people might want to think now how much there is is Up For Debate. But it will be very interesting to see how this develops and how uh other communities start responding to it moving out west we have another cable cutting incident or in this case a cable disruption incident we're not really sure if it was cut or not or if it was some sort of natural disruption. But this cable affected an American cable network this was the internet cable uh providing internet services uh through the quintilian network to the Northwestern Parts of Alaska so right now a lot of Northwestern Alaska is without internet connectivity there are also some cellular networks that have been affected as well. But once again Alaska northern Alaska especially is a very very remote part of the world so there's not that many people that are up there and many of the people who are already up there have things like starlink so judging the impact is going to be something that's hard to do when it comes to what caused the cable outage or disruption or cutting like I said the repair company they actually can't get up there because there is ice pack so uh the company itself said that it's going to take several weeks for the ice pack to clear uh to be able to get up there to actually one assess the damage and two f it so a lot of Northwestern Alaska is going to be without internet access for many weeks so again this is uh not something that's going to be a quick fix at all so that is something to consider as time moves on also out west I wanted to very quickly mention the Tesla dealership terrorism incident as many of you have probably seen all over social media due to Elon musk's association with the Tesla company and starlink and SpaceX and things like this and also his association with US Government Doge and being a personal friend of President Trump this has garnered him a lot of criticism and a lot of um outrage amongst various groups and over the past few weeks there have been a lot of attacks that have taken place at Tesla dealerships a lot of owners of Tesla vehicles have been vandalized things like that this in this case this was a Serial uh sort of vandalism spree that was possibly carried out by just a single person so this person Lucy Grace Nelson you can see the photograph here was arrested a few days ago for essentially planting explosives and incendiary devices at a Tesla dealership uh there in Loveland just north of Denver I thought this was kind of an interesting case because the same exact thing happened on January 29th February 2nd and February 7th so this is the fourth time that a very similar thing happened at the exact same Tesla dealership once again this looks like a very standard boilerplate example of domestic terrorism a lot of the mainstream media are saying that this was a woman who conducted these attacks uh due to the name and apparently the inability to see the photograph of the person who was arrested very obviously being a man so that's a very interesting. But not entirely unexpected development but once again it's not something that uh is particularly uncommon so that's pretty much all I have for today let's talk a little bit about the ghost net reports this week was pretty good uh I unfortunately tuned in a little bit late I was working on some other stuff and uh missed my own radio network which is happen it happens sometimes. But I did catch a lot of people who were talking about linking up and and doing emails and things like that and exchanging information I caught a few partial reports who were from a few people who were very far away from me and I'm not entirely certain what they were talking about a few weather reports here and there. But I did I did get one guy uh who was transmitting the wire and I I think it was shortened I tried to make the Thursday night wire reports rather short uh. However so so it's easy for people to do that over the radio but a lot of times I fail and I forget so I know there are better ways of doing this there are better ways of doing pretty much all of this. However again trying to have a balance of lowest comma denominator plus the ease of access plus the ease of use and it's kind of a good blend so it's not the best way. But it does work as you can see here for exchanging long uh blocks of text so that's all I have for today here are the sources for this week once again you can get all of these sources in a clickable format based on the actual report uh for every day on my obsidian page which makes it a little bit easier to uh share the sources that I'm using to write each report and just as a reminder I I do update my uh sort of zp cop maps on arcgis I've got a couple of different maps on arcgis again all the links are on my obsidian page. But uh throughout the week you you may sneak a peek of me editing some things and updating things throughout the week uh as I work on some projects that are work in progress so I will continue that I will hope to have some some more helpful products next week with regards to the Border crisis. But right now I'm just kind of crunching through a lot of data and we will see what next week brings so thank you guys all for watching thank you again for all of your support which makes all of this possible and I will. See you next time and as always fight in the shade.
