Intel Update - Dec. 28 - Chain of Tragedy

Hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground this is the Intel update for December 22nd through the 28th 2024 I know that it's been quite a busy week over the uh Christmas holiday so uh I'm afraid I won't be able to cover everything that's happened over the past week or so. However I did like in typical fashion want to cover some of the highlights and and some of the more uh significant events that may start to be a little bit more problematic or you know indications and warnings for how the New Year might go so unfortunately in classic this time of year and just due to everyone being kind of busy and not a lot of details coming out about most of these things it's going to be a lot of speculation today. However hopefully we can kind of muddle our way through some of this stuff and and uh see what lessons we can maybe learn that may apply and help us out a little bit more next year so let's get right to it starting off with the Northeast region I briefly wanted to mention some of the incidents that have occurred in New York uh namely those involving arson attacks so I've been rather hesitant uh to to mention a lot of the arson attacks that have occurred in New York City because uh well for one there's not really a whole lot you can do regarding these incidents after after the fact and I don't know if data supports this or not. However it it does seem like the potential for copycat attacks is much higher than the uh lessons that we can learn from kind of dwelling on some of these incidents. However since it's kind of become more mainstream uh the risks uh of people being set on fire on public transit in New York City are quite elevated uh so uh most people have probably saw that the rather graphic and horrific incident of a woman who was murdered on the subway in this fashion back on December 22nd not going to go into many details on that one because uh it's it's just not something that is uh very appropriate I think to to kind of go into the details of. However the victim remains unidentified so uh this is something of note because after this incident occurred uh there were many many reports uh showing this the victim's picture and uh name and in fact this was a scam the the victim of this uh December 22nd attack has not been identified yet uh the NYPD is actually still trying to use uh DNA uh to figure out who it was so uh that's a that's a huge huge concern uh simply because after this incident occurred basically a lot of AI generated uh crypto scams popped out uh that were trying to capitalize on the victim of a horrific crime so there's that to be mindful of also on the 27th so yesterday there was another person who was set on fire in Penn Station again with this one there are not a lot of details uh there's as far as I know there hasn't been any graphical video evidence of this. However this did show up on a lot of police blots and things like that so so it did occur I don't know any more details than that when it comes to these sorts of things it could be a wide variety of things. But again it's just another reminder to be very very careful in public transit no matter where you're at really moving down to New Jersey rather than talk about anything new with regards to the Drone reports that we kind of got fascinated with a couple of weeks ago I did want to mention one data point that we use in the Intel World a lot which is the absence of information right up front uh there haven't really been any new reports uh from the New Jersey area there have been a lot of fakes a lot of fakes and a lot of people who have recorded themselves uh hoaxes for instance uh filling uh clear helium balloons with flashing lights and letting them go so there have been a lot of these types of events take place in New Jersey. But again nothing really super clear unfortunately most of these uh fake reports or manipulated videos or photoshop or whatever um they're tainting the legitimate evidence again I think it it's it's really unfortunate because it it discourages people from reporting things and that's that's not what we want to do we want to encourage people to you know say something if they see something right the issue comes from a lot of people really uh not having a forensic mindset when it comes to evidence right so again I know that I have dedicated a lot of time to this that hasn't really been helpful. However I think that before I can start to answer thousands and thousands of DMS and messages and emails uh I I really need need to sit down and explain what good reporting is so that's my fault that I haven't done that so much I've I've talked about sourcing I've talked a little bit about different you know analytical techniques. But it's not it's clearly not enough right so I I I feel kind of bad by saying to someone who comes to me with like a what they think is a genuine you know report and it's just not that it's not really what I would consider definitive in any way um a lot of people come to me with oh well this is confirmed well what does that word mean to you you know because as far as I'm concerned there's it's really hard to that's a really hard thing to do confirmed by whom confirmed to what degree when do you when you say confirmed what do you mean because we have to be very very um methodical in our in our thinking process with these things and unfortunately I'm just not seeing that the issue is is that it takes many many many hours of education and and walking through some ideas before someone can understand what is helpful and what is not helpful so it takes training it takes knowledge it takes understanding and it takes practice and unfortunately I can't convey that to to everyone uh who sends me a message saying well look this is a confirmed UFO or something you know what I mean it's it's really hard uh to kind of come back and write paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs explaining that the particular piece of evidence that somebody sent me does not indicate what they say it indicates right I can't break this down I just don't have the time for every little piece that that I get um so yeah really all I have to work with is what the authorities have said or done which is in this case they've put up a lot of no Tams and a lot of tfrs uh no fly zones over critical infrastructure in New York City and New Jersey Long Island places like that so that's more concerning to me because it appears that now that this has gone into fruition and we've we've seen how this develops and these no fly zones have kind of they're still there no one seems to really have questioned whether or not this was a good idea uh so again like I said last week it's it's going to be probably not very good in the long run. But again this is something that is probably going to be very much debated similar debates will be undertaken in northern Europe where we have yet another alleged cable cutting incident in the Baltic Sea in this case it's technically in the Gulf of Finland. But uh this was the cable power cable an electrical power cable s link 2 that spans the Gulf of Finland between Finland and Estonia as one might expect Finnish authorities are kind of taking the lead on this sort of thing with regards to investigating the vessels that uh they think may have deliberately drug anchor over the cable itself right now the lead suspect is the merchant vessel Eagle s which is again the media has kind of gotten a hold of this and they're starting to call it Russia's Shadow Fleet basically a lot of Russia Affiliated spy ships or spy vessels or or really dual use essentially the the general idea or the general theory how true this is remains debatable. But the general theory is that Russia has as part of their official Naval Doctrine has more or less recruited certain cargo ships tanker vessels things like that so that uh they can help Russia in some ways for instance a crew during 99% of their Voyage may just be doing their normal Merchant vessel thing you know transiting cargo all around the world. But while they're over here in this particular area well let's drop anchor for a couple hours and see if we can drag it over a cable and then they go back to to being a normal Merchant or tanker vessel right so that's kind of the general gist of how this works out how true this is personally I think it's probably quite true uh I mean this is kind of a well-known thing that's been done by Russia for a long period of time in terms of at least intelligence collection now where the debate comes in is have they transitioned from using Merchant vessels as intelligence collection ships have they transitioned from that into operations I don't know hard to say. But it it certainly looks like it uh considering that we've got a lot of Russian Affiliated ships that are you know kind of bobbing out there in the the Baltic Sea and they just so happened to cut a lot of cables so we went from an era of virtually no one dragging anchor over a cable that you know that's actually like far from Shore you know anchor dragging incidents cutting cables happens quite a lot uh near places where cables are landed so over the past you know couple of decades that these cables have been strung up all around the world this has been taken into account so we went from an era where this happened a lot to an Era where this didn't really happen that much and and now it seems like a lot of cables are having anchors d over them in really random and weird places where a ship should not be dragging anchor so I think we all can kind of see how this is going on here. But again it's mostly speculation as to what's going on because well investigations are ongoing I should also note that the Finnish authorities who have seized uh the eagle s uh they have alleged that on board that vessel was uh a significant intelligence collection uh Suite of sensors what they exactly were supposed to do with sensors no one has has stated with any sort of confidence level yet this does jive with what Russia is known to do and and other nations around the world as well particularly China uh is known to do. However again it's just one of those things where it's he said she said we don't really have a whole lot of evidence so far so we're going to have to kind of wait and see on that. But the bottom line for the Baltic Sea region is expect more of the same expect more cable cuttings to continue and also expect an increased n presence so again this is entering into a time of heightened risk throughout the Baltic Sea region now that we've covered some of the concerns in the Baltic Sea let's shift over to the Caspian Sea region and discuss uh the the Downing potential shoot down of aeran Airlines flight 8243 now undoubtedly many of you have already heard and followed the the events that have occurred following this incident. However I did want to talk about it at some length because the implications of this potential shoot down incident are very wide and very wide ranging so what do we know at 0755 on December 25th Christmas Day aan Airlines flight 8243 departed from Baku Bound for grne in Chia it was a short Regional flly that occurred many many times so it was it was fairly standard as far as uh aircraft operations go once they got to gry. However the crew reported extremely thick fog in conjunction with navigational issues so for those who maybe are not familiar with the electronic interference to commercial aircraft throughout Southern and and Western Europe Russia uh has been jamming a substantial uh part of the electromagnetic spectrum along with some limited GPS spoofing here and there. But it's mostly been jamming this is largely to prevent Ukrainian drones from using GPS guidance to uh fly uh to Targets in Russia if the Russians Jam the GPS satellites which are fairly easy to do uh then the drone can't receive the GPS signal from the satellite and. Therefore can't make it to its Target that's the general idea well the problem is is that this jams a lot doesn't just Jam drones but it jams commercial aircraft as well so for the past two or three years ever since the war kind of uh escalated I should say uh a lot of commercial pilots throughout Europe have reported uh having GPS issues right so that's a that's a huge problem. And so on Christmas morning in GR it appeared that the GPS jamming was quite significant because unknown to flight 8243 the Russians Uh Russian Air Defense Artillery or Ada Assets in gry had just intercepted a few Ukrainian drones that morning allegedly they had shot a few down right some substantial drones that were inbound to the city of gry right so they had had their GPS Jammers turned on they had a lot of electronic countermeasures out a lot of electronic warfare devices right so uh this aircraft was just in the wrong place at the wrong time uh for in terms of the electronic warfare affecting the aircraft quite significantly so if we were to put ourselves in the shoes of the pilots on board this aircraft you've got extremely thick fog you've already tried to land at this airport twice and it just wasn't happening they weren't able to do it they had to go around twice because they just simply had very poor visibility and their instruments were acting up due to the electronic warfare so the stage is set for something very very bad to happen right we're already operating under a compromised State well at least According to some passengers again eyewitness statements vary. But according to some of the passengers who survived the incident on the third pass over gry on the third Landing attempt something catastrophic occurred uh the pilots via radio reported that it was a bird strike they hit a bird uh as they were coming into land in gry for the third time passengers. However in the back uh stayed that they actually got hit by a missile so they heard an explosion and trapnel essentially peppered through the rear of the aircraft and injured a few people now at this time it was really unknown as to what had occurred uh again civilian Pilots they're not going to be you know training for getting shot down by a missile right so when they hear an explosion or some sort of catastrophic event on the aircraft they're going to think that it's probably a bird strike because that's what they're trained in to to understand that a potential explosion is in any case there does not appear to be any problem with the engines per se uh. But there does appear to be a substantial loss of hydraulics uh throughout the aircraft so so after this initial incident occurs over gry whatever it was either if it was a bird strike genuinely or or actually a missile strike that wasn't a a total catastrophic missile strike maybe it was a defective missile or something or maybe radar guided I'm not entirely certain again lots of speculation here either way after that catastrophic incident occurred in grne they started heading east directly away from uh what at the time was probably bad weather again we don't really know why they were heading east they were trying to get away from bad weather some initial Reports say they tried to land in Russia in uh dagistan at an airport there. However they were either denied or the weather was bad again statements vary either way what ended up happening is they were they flew about 300 miles to the east over the Caspian Sea and barely limped in uh over to the airport at actal which is uh mostly a mining town. But it's got a large International Airport there that can handle uh you know Landing aircraft in pretty much any weather so in any case they were able to declare an emergency over the Caspian Sea as they were inbound to actal and eventually limp into the City and crash land just outside the airport as they were trying to to line up on it uh they made a couple of passes over the over the airport and uh it looks like they weren't able to really properly line up on the runway and they just kind of had to land pretty much anywhere they could so they did the best job they they possibly could considering the catastrophic damage to the aircraft via what whatever it was uh roughly half the crew and or passengers survived both Pilots unfortunately died in the crash along with one flight attendant so we don't have the benefit of of their testimony unfortunately we're just going to have to go on uh the the statements of of the survivors and the the flight data recorder of course. But as we can see based on these images here it it was a fairly kinetic crash and it it honestly is truly a Christmas miracle that anyone survived this crash in any case I wanted to cover the leading theories not necessarily because I'm I'm personally interested in in things like disaster preparedness and uh aircraft uh incidents and things like this. But because this has very very wide geopolitical implications depending on what actually happened so in terms of the theories that have popped up following this incident let me run through the top four or five and just lay these out uh regarding what may have possibly happened so the first theory is that the aircraft struck a bird over gry there was never any sort of missile uh that hit the aircraft and that all of this was a pure accident that is one of the most sort of innocent theories so far another theory is that the aircraft did strike a bird which caused very strange Behavior Uh over the city of gry multiple go-arounds at the airport flying at non-standard altitudes at non-standard speeds you know varying speed and altitude quite a bit over gry which attracted the attention of Russian Air Defense Artillery who shot at the the aircraft thinking that it was a drone or some kind of retrofit uh aircraft that was uh being used as a weapon right a third theory is that there was no bird strike at all there was no odd behavior everything was totally normal uh except for the weather except for the weather and the multiple go-arounds at grai uh everything was totally normal. But this was a pure purely accidental shoot down by Russian forces that they completely messed up and it's all on the Russians right another theory similar to the second theory is that there was no bird strike uh. But the odd behavior caused due to the weather in the context of the recent drone attacks uh the Russians deliberately engage the aircraft uh due to again the uh the current threats that are opposed uh to the Russian Federation by again some commercial civilian aircraft right and the final major theory is that there was no bird strike there was no odd behavior at all and the aircraft wasn't even targeted deliberately by the Russians the aircraft was really just very very unlucky and accidentally caught a missile that was actually fired at a different uh Target say a drone all five of these major theories really have a lot of Truth to them. But all five of these major theories also have a few detail there are a few details that have come out that kind of uh go against some of these theories. But again we'll probably get to that in due time but again uh let let's focus on some of the the potential motives right now and and as of right now where again there's not that much information that's been made public the investigation is still ongoing the motives are very very wide ranging and this is where things can get very very kinetic uh in in other ways so generally speaking speaking the the Russian kind of attitude towards this is accident uh Vladimir Putin released a statement um expressing condolences and sent an aircraft of uh you know Medical Aid and things like that uh to help out the victims and stuff like that the airline themselves have have already uh started the process of financial compensation for the survivors uh and for the victims the families of the victims so this is being processed right now as an accident and not not like a more deliberate act. Even though it may have been so again this is being treated by most of the parties involved as an accident so again much like the situation in the Baltic Sea the the situation is very very dangerous uh in terms of the international relations and international impact and and here's why one of the main uh considerations here uh for what may have happened is where the the actual incident took place so if we were going to assume for a moment that this was indeed a Sam strike a surface to air missile strike on a commercial aircraft let's assume for a moment that that's what happened the location and timing of such is going to be very very very important for international events essentially this is because uh. Even though the main Theory right now is that Russia accidentally shot this aircraft down the potential remains for this not to have been caused by Russia so for instance if a malign actor say a terrorist group which are known to operate within chchchchia where the exact incident allegedly occurred if they were able to get their hands on a man pad a man portable air defense system which is extremely common throughout Chia and as we remember what just happened in Syria Syria collapsed right and the thousands of manpad systems that uh were being held by the Assad regime are now spread out throughout arms dealers all throughout Eastern Europe probably to include chcha plus if we remember all of those reports a few weeks ago a few months ago of you know the manpad thread man pads the proliferation of these shoulder fired surfac to a missiles is extremely high now so we're operating with that assumption in mind and we also have to remember that when it comes to targeting uh commercial aircraft with a potential man pad uh these shoulder fired Sams that you see the shoulder fired missiles they don't have that good of a range so the best chance that you're going to get to shoot down a commercial aircraft if you're a terrorist is when the aircraft is taking off or Landing this is very well known throughout pretty much every Insurgent group on the on the planet so where did this event occur if it occurred over gry it could just as easily be an Insurgent as Russia right it could just as easily be a guy in the back of a pickup truck with a man pad shooting scoot he's gone and Russia gets blamed for it likewise it could equally be Russia Russia has a a lot of Air Defense Artillery throughout the region they could fire a missile shoot and Scoot move around and no one would ever know it's them even forensically it will be challenging because guess what Russian Munitions the explosives the explosive residue that's going to be found on shrapnel inside this aircraft it's going to point to exactly what kind of munition it is. But that doesn't really help investigators does it because Russia has proliferated their arms all over the planet so unless it's from like a stinger missile or something that was americanmade it's going to be really hard to narrow it down it could be from an Insurgent it could be from Russia it could it could be anyone all things considered it probably was Russia. But but we also have to entertain the possibility that somebody is trying to cause a little bit of misdirection here the potential is there now the reason that I wanted to highlight where and when this aircraft was shot down is because this this matters a lot in terms of who might have done it for instance if the aircraft was shot down uh as it was trying to land in gry well it could have been an Insurgent with a manpad or it could have been Russia. However if it was shot down over the Caspian Sea it was most certainly Russia I highly doubt that an Insurgent is going to be out there in the middle of the Caspian Sea in a rowboat trying to shoot a man pad at an aircraft that's probably already two or three times the range of the man pad in the first place right it just doesn't make any sense so if this aircraft was hit by a missile and if it was hit over gry this is going to be a very very important distinction uh in terms of who did it now the reason that I'm inclined to think that Russia did it is because if it was a man pad launch Russia would instantly know that none of their people fired on the aircraft and they would be livid you would see the FSB hopping right now all over Southern Chia and it would be bad uh you would see a very substantial counterterrorism effort being underway uh in in the event that it was an Insurgent in short if Russia did it then you'd see probably exactly what you're seeing now condolences and flowers being sent. But largely nothing more than that if Russia did not do it then they have to account for a missile launch inside their nation state and that uh would be something they're not going to just let let go right so if it was Russia you'd see what we're seeing now if it was not Russia if it was an Insurgent that had snuck into Chia with a man pad and shot a plane down right uh if that's the case uh you would probably see more from Russia than what we're seeing now which is again why the uh Russia did it Theory probably holds the most amount of weight it's exceptionally unheard of uh just to make this note it's exceptionally unheard of for any aircraft to fly very far after being hit with a missile uh this just doesn't happen that often. However there are some situations where this could occur once again a lot of the technical details that uh are are kind of needed to to make this assessment of of what actually happened here we just don't know yet uh just again just to get these details kind of out there these random thoughts just the technical details of whatever missile was fired at this aircraft are very very important as as far as the investigation goes because most people are familiar with uh surfaced air missiles being heat seeking right infrared guided missiles uh that are attracted to the heat signature of an aircraft's engines right well on civilian aircraft where are the engines located well they're located on the wing and where's all the fuel located or most of the fuel located for a commercial airliner inside the wing which is why generally speaking whenever we see man pads that are again of a variant of missile that uh is an infrared guided missile generally speaking uh the there are no survivors from these sorts of things because the missile hits the engine explodes the wing rips the wing off and nobody makes it home that night right um this is UN forunate. But this is generally how it goes the fact that most of the damage to the aircraft appeared to be located in the tail suggests that it could have been a different variant of missile than we normally see again this is very speculative. But it could have been anything from radar guided to more of like a semi-active missile it's hard to say it could also have been a defective missile it could have been defective and uh detonated before it got to its Target uh I'm absolutely no expert in surfaced air missiles or sapphires or anything like that um. But these are things that the investigators are going to have to know more broadly though uh it does highlight the risks and the fact that all of these conflicts around the around the Earth are now becoming more elevated in terms of risk like I wrote In The Wire yesterday there are a lot of concerns now there are a lot of regions in the planet where you want to make sure that your plane probably doesn't fly through that region and uh unfortunately you know we're we're starting to see these bubbles where commercial Aviation uh are refusing to fly through these bubbles are getting bigger you know the bubble over the Middle East is getting bigger because there a conflict between um you know Israel Lebanon Syria kind of thing. But now also including Yemen and uh basically incident we're going to talk about here in a minute now the Red Sea a major major Aviation Corridor is uh host to some risks too so in terms of commercial Aviation and risks to Aviation I feel like it it always must be noted that the risks that that commercial Aviation uh has exhibited over the years are generally minimal people love to bring up the statistic that it's it's it's very much safer to fly anywhere than it is to drive anywhere the problem is that when you plug that into a risk management matrix it's still uh a different decision-making process so for instance just to run through this really quickly uh the the chances of something happening to you when when you're driving your car are you know maybe low to moderate. But definitely you know not zero right uh however when something does happen or if something does happen it's very unlikely to result in the deaths of 300 plus people right so the the impact right the outcome of that is is not going to be absolutely catastrophic generally speaking now you can absolutely get killed in a car accident that happens every single day. But in terms of of hundreds and hundreds of people uh being killed in a single incident is very very rare when it comes to Vehicles likewise on the other side of the aisle the likelihood of something happening to an aircraft a commercial aircraft is very low astronomically low. But when it does happen it's usually catastrophic right so it's a completely different thought process and I think that they're at completely different corners of the risk management Matrix uh in terms of risk assessment right likewise with jumping over to the Red Sea region same thing same mentality uh many of you have heard of the recent USS Gettysburg friendly fire incident uh in which the USS Gettysburg uh as part of the USS Harries Truman carrier strike group uh fired two missiles at two f18s that were trying to land on the Truman again very few details regarding this incident or these two incidents uh they occurred at roughly the same amount of time. However the general story is is very very simple the first aircraft was lining up to land got hit with a missile just completely out of the blue the second aircraft in the stack to to land on the Truman saw the Fireball and they were able to uh actually see the second missile being fired at them and they were able to evade. However the first aircraft the one which was actually shot down the pilot and the weapons officer uh were able to eject uh successfully one of them was injured. Though uh however again we just don't have hardly any details on this at this time the second aircraft was actually able to observe the the whole incident right in front of them as it was happening literally right off their nose as the aircraft in front of them was trying to land and they were able to take evasive action and and very very narrowly Miss uh being hit so again this is not something that happens often like I wrote In The Wire the last time uh the US Navy shot down one of their own planes was in 1968 uh back when the concepts of identification friend or Fox iff Systems were kind of certainly not what they are today right so this is not one of those oop kind of moments this is a very very very serious implication right uh if if the US Navy cannot get their act together to to run their own if systems and to not shoot down their own military aircraft which have systems on board multiple systems on board to make sure this can't happen right if the impossible happens with the US Navy's own military aircraft then what do you think the chances are of the US Navy shooting down a commercial aircraft right shooting down one of their own f-18s is bad enough right. But uh shooting down a commercial aircraft which does not have if which does not have any of this stuff in one of the most heavily trafficked air corridors in the world up and down the Red Sea right uh before before at least before the houthi started firing missiles granted aircraft have now started kind of avoiding the area. But still the potential the potential risk there to commercial Aviation is Extreme so now we have to be slightly concerned about the Russians shooting down their own aircraft in southern Russia we have to worry about the US Navy shooting down their own aircraft or commercial aircraft in the red region all in all not good so I don't want to dwell on it too much. But I did want to mention these these incidents because there's not a whole lot that the average person can do other than stay aware right be aware and and I know that it's tiring I know that it's boring I know that it's not cool a lot of times and I know that you get a lot of funny looks from people sometimes um by you know being a little bit just a tin the tiniest bit more Vigilant than the average bear you know being the tiniest bit more observant uh and careful you tend to get some funny looks sometimes. But I think that in terms of what we're seeing around the world the slightest action right the slightest bit of care the slightest bit of discernment caution and the slightest bit of critical thinking could have saved a lot of lives over the past few years you may get a lot of funny looks you may get a lot of eye rolling uh you may get a lot of people calling you some you know not nice names. But being careful and having a little bit more discernment to to make decisions and clear up communications issues before before they become an issue right just clarifying things is very very very helpful so again that's pretty much what I wanted to talk about today hopefully this wasn't too far off topic I'm sorry I haven't uh been able to be too articulate over the holiday so hopefully this this new year uh I'll be able to be a little bit better in that regard. But uh for now let's talk about uh the intercepted ghostnet reports for this week again uh quite a busy week a lot of people sending messages back and forth in terms of testing and holiday wishes that's all fantastic to see a lot of people building their own antennas and things like that and a lot of messages uh that are coming out uh in terms of news reports and things like that which is always really really good to see and just as a reminder uh so that I I don't forget myself uh I am still working on the ghost net I'm trying to improve things uh make this radio network a little bit better make it a little bit more streamlined to make it a lot more palatable uh for the people coming into this who who know nothing about radio right a lot of the radio guys out there um who who have radios and use radios more more routinely even for a lot of these guys it's it's it's pretty complicated and pretty hard to do um now I've I've tried to make it as easy as I possibly can. But there's always room for improvement right so I'm going to be improving the ghost net uh quite a bit uh with Lessons Learned and things like that over the next uh well foreseeable future right for now. Though the the ghost is going to stay as it is uh in terms of like again the the basics of it uh and what I'm working on now is more along the lines of supplement uh something that's separate from the ghost net plan. But you can you can use as well to help kind of round things out again radio is not the only uh way and the only consideration for communications uh radio is just one of the tools in the toolbox so we need many more tools right so you can't just complete any project with just one tool right you need a lot more so so uh I'm still working on that uh in terms of some of the more contingency based Communications that we may need so stay tuned for that uh I have no ETA on it I hope that I'll be able to get it done within the next few months to be honest uh. But again everything takes longer than you think it does sometimes so uh hopefully that has been very helpful and I look forward to see what the ghosted and all these other projects I've got going uh come to fruition in the next year so so that's really all I have for today uh here are the sources of course uh and I hope this has been somewhat helpful uh in terms of really kind of getting us getting us off on the right foot when it comes to uh the new year coming around uh the next next reform will be next year right uh so uh hopefully we can start the year off with some good resolutions uh some good uh dedicated goals that we can uh spend a lot of time working on and I really hope that uh we can make 2025 a good year so again thank you thank you guys all for watching thank you all for all of your support over the years I I could not do any of this uh without your support so thank you all for that I really do mean it and I hope that a lot of this work can uh be useful for some of you out there who might find it interesting so so yeah that's pretty much all I have for today thank you guys all again for watching and we will. See you next time and as always fight in the shade.
