Nov 18 Intel Update: Changing Tides

hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground this is the briefing for wednesday the 18th of november and as always it is being recorded the day prior on the 17th of november so let's get right to it because we've got a lot of stuff to talk about today but first kind of a quick heads up we've noticed that based on a lot of the dms and emails that we've gotten that a shocking number of people don't actually check out the description box on these videos and we tend to put a lot of information down there we have chapters if you don't want to hear me ramble on about a specific topic you can just click to the section you want to hear we've also started to include lots of other information and any corrections that we have once this video goes out because obviously we can't edit this video once it goes out so it's going to stay on the internet forever and the only way that we can kind of make slight changes is in the description box right we're certainly not perfect so if there are any little minor mistakes we will correct them there and finally we also have links to other stuff as well like our website the number of people who email us and say that the link doesn't work is kin ere and finally we also have links to other stuff as well like our website the number of people who email us and say that the link doesn't work is kind of astounding because they either don't read the the line literally right above it which is that the link requires the tour browser to work or that people don't realize that youtube shortens links so you have to right click on the link save it and then drop it in your tor browser and then once you do that you're good to go so just a little heads up on that we also have other stuff like our reading list and other things like that so if you're looking for books to read or if you are trying to get into the field of intelligence analysis yourself we have several reading lists that will help you get started and finally kind of a short announcement we just created another youtube channel for our war kitchen content so if you like those kinds of videos that we put out on that just stay tuned because we've got a lot coming out uh that's going to be on the other channel i haven't we haven't decided if we wanted to do dual posting over here on this channel and the other channel just yet we may at first i don't really know just yet because the ided if we wanted to do dual posting over here on this channel and the other channel just yet we may at first i don't really know just yet because the war kitchen as anybody knows a new youtube channel has a hard time getting started and even if you were as of right now i literally just tried to search for the war kitchen in youtube and it's not even coming up even though it already has several thousand subscribers so youtube doesn't like new channels so we might have to see how that goes but i just wanted to let everybody know that we've started this new channel because the war kitchen stuff is just different enough from the actual like intel stuff we do that it kind of warrants its own thing so that's what we did so let's get right into this with the weather winter is definitely upon us for at least for isr weather concerns uh for most of the country with really uh heavy with cloud cover and things like that so lots of different uh aviation concerns for any kind of aerial operations and also right now we're we are in a green illumination cycle so it's going to be a really full moon 97 percent illumination gonna be a really bright moon and also moon's going to start rising a littl ation cycle so it's going to be a really full moon 97 percent illumination gonna be a really bright moon and also moon's going to start rising a little bit earlier in the night so at least for today for the next 12 hours the moon's gonna be rising in the afternoon at 4 35 pm and continue to grow and get above the horizon and get really bright as the night goes on and for winds for the next 18 hours as you can see pretty powerful winds up in the northern regions as that winter weather starts to creep in and like i mentioned mostly the eastern u.s is going to have most of the warnings and things like that moving forward for the next couple of days moving into no tams really there are only two of note of course they're both presidential this time around uh the first one being the standard vacation no tam at over biden's house in wilmington delaware and also uh biden is planning to go uh to detroit michigan actually as of the recording of this i should already be there so uh by the time this video goes out the snow temp will of course expire on the 18th uh but yeah i just wanted to point that out for anyone interested as far as civil unrest goes really the flavor of the week is of cour ire on the 18th uh but yeah i just wanted to point that out for anyone interested as far as civil unrest goes really the flavor of the week is of course the issue that everyone's talking about the kyle rittenhouse trial so i'm not going to delve too much into the trial itself but as of the recording of this there has not been a verdict so really everybody's just kind of on pins and needles waiting to see what happens a few people are saying that it's there's going to be violence no matter what because there have already been decently violent uh demonstrations so far and the trial wasn't even over yet and also a lot of very famous people with a lot of influence on social media have been encouraging violence in the local area as well as other major u.s cities it's not just kenosha that's that's a huge problem or where the threat exists so so far uh really we haven't done the analytical leg work to kind of figure out what the threat assessment for this is because it's just really unknown we've got winter weather creeping in and usually colder weather prohibits people from demonstrating slash rioting slash looting but that will almost certainly occur on some level no matter what happen older weather prohibits people from demonstrating slash rioting slash looting but that will almost certainly occur on some level no matter what happens the national guard has already been activated as i'll as i'll mention here in a bit uh for this but again they're not really being staged in any productive manner at least from what we can see for right now and it's really just kind of wait and see mode and see how see how the rioting goes and then i guess everybody will kind of assess things once that happens so we'll talk more about that in a minute let's move right into logistics all right so moving on to logistics a pretty big change to this slide i've just finally decided that it's a lot simpler and easier to put an actual legend on this slide because far too many people could not read and uh it was just getting in the way of things so i finally made the the column on the left hand side of the slide an actual legend for what's on the screen it makes it a little easier for people to screenshot if they wanted to share it and things like that and we'll talk about the national level concerns here in a minute but as far as events from last time school bus driver shortage continues h like that and we'll talk about the national level concerns here in a minute but as far as events from last time school bus driver shortage continues however massachusetts their mission for their national guard driving kids to school that mission is complete and we'll talk more about that in just a bit again when we get to the national guard slides as far as the water shortage out west that continues to be a problem as a matter of fact here is the recent drought monitor chart at least as of november 9th it was again released just a few days ago on november 11th and as you can see the western united states is still very much in a state of drought a severe drought so we're going to have to see how that plays with the winter weather coming into the area over the winter season also the microchip shortage has gotten quite a bit worse manufacturers are it's gotten worse but it's also gotten a little bit better and by better i mean you're not getting your money's worth so for for instance tesla has stopped incorporating a few uh charging options with some of their devices like they've left out the usb chargers and things like that general motors is removing the heated seats and the heated ons with some of their devices like they've left out the usb chargers and things like that general motors is removing the heated seats and the heated steering wheels from their crossover vehicles and pretty much all of their pickup trucks so a lot of these vehicles manufacturers are simply leaving parts out that they can so they can get these vehicles out the door and they will either plan to have you come back into a dealership to install for free when they get the parts back in or it might not ever happen who really knows you know this chip shortage we're still projecting it to last for at least two years of course varying in severity but we really don't know likewise the tire shortage in montana continues uh in localized areas there's really not much more to add on that we're just seeing a few more news stations essentially do circular reporting and talk about that one article we found from last time so just because you're seeing more reports doesn't necessarily mean that more shortages are occurring it just means that more news stations are buying that article and affiliates are starting to talk about it because they purchase the rights to that story so that's why these shortag ations are buying that article and affiliates are starting to talk about it because they purchase the rights to that story so that's why these shortages things it's really hard to track and then new for this cycle are snow plow and salt truck drivers being in quite severe shortage at least there you can see in the northern states and in the parts of the midwest that is a severe shortage in a lot of areas they're doing things like recruiting for the first time they've never had to recruit for a snowplow driver but some states are now other states are increasing or trying to offer bonuses or increasing their hourly rate rates and wages and things like that again it it's hard to say if it's going to work or do anything or or have any kind of impact at all but if you're in the northern area and you get a lot of snow and you regularly have to get your roads plowed this is something you should be concerned about even places down here uh in the mid-atlantic region or even further south with those places in the south they get like a quarter of an inch of snow a year you know you guys know if you grew up in those areas where you get one snow day a year and it's only like a dusting the entir f an inch of snow a year you know you guys know if you grew up in those areas where you get one snow day a year and it's only like a dusting the entire state will shut down like that's what i remember growing up and you still have people plowing the roads for like a dusting and that's a huge concern as well so you have the volume issues from the northern states where there's literally so much snow on the road that you cannot drive and there's a shortage of snowplow drivers to physically clear the roads and then there's also the cultural cultural thing of some of the more warmer states not getting as much snow but snow snowplow drivers and salt trucks are so much more important in a lot of these areas because people are just not used to the snow so the impact can be quite high in a lot of these states when it comes to uh the winter weather creeping in also before i move to the next slide the liquor shortage has kind of expanded we're seeing connecticut uh being uh impacted by the liquor shortage as well texas we're still seeing articles pop up here and there and people you know posting pictures of liquor store shelves being empty this is kind of a thing that's hit or miss because we s pop up here and there and people you know posting pictures of liquor store shelves being empty this is kind of a thing that's hit or miss because we're getting into the holiday season uh the whole pandemic thing made everybody start drinking a little bit more so demand has gone up sharply and production hasn't uh been able to keep up with that so the liquor shortages are kind of a hard thing to track as well so let's move into the next slide and we'll talk about the national level shortages that are kind of prevalent throughout the entire country now i know this slide's pretty ugly and looks kind of empty right now but trust me this is going to fill out sadly it's going to fill out quite significantly over the next few weeks and months but for now this is what we've got when it comes to the things that we know are in national level shortages where basically you can go to anywhere in the united states and find a shortage of this kind of stuff so really the biggest one or one of the bigger ones is christmas trees obviously christmas trees are highly seasonal and christmas trees take forever sometimes decades to grow so it makes sense that there would be a shortage of that around th rees are highly seasonal and christmas trees take forever sometimes decades to grow so it makes sense that there would be a shortage of that around this time of year there are shortages of christmas trees in some areas in the united states every year because of a drought you know 10 years ago that's just how this works with the christmas tree market so higher demand this year you know problems with production and of course shipping and things like that are going to mean that some parts of the country are going to have a hard time finding christmas trees but really the biggest one that i wanted to touch on is fertilizer so for the fertilizer shortage specifically diamonium phosphate really in the united states we're just seeing rument at this point writing a rumor intelligence right of certain fertilizers being in short supply this kind of makes sense because around the world this is a huge deal china is cutting down on exports a lot due to a coal shortage in china which has caused an electrical power shortage in china which is directly impacting the ability to process fertilizer in china which reduces supply and with india's increasing demand for fertilizer we're essentially having y impacting the ability to process fertilizer in china which reduces supply and with india's increasing demand for fertilizer we're essentially having a case of world events killing the cat that ate the rat that lived in the house that america built right so we have all this stuff lining up and it's going to domino effect into the united states not having so much fertilizer at least that's what makes sense it makes sense that these fertilizer shortages will reach the united states at some point but again nothing is set in stone and honestly like most of the shortages that i'm mentioning it's probably not even worth talking about because it's pretty much impossible to determine when and where shortages will strike especially considering the fact that we also make fertilizer here in the us but just like always our intensely complex globalistic logistical networks make it impossible to track these things with any level of real satisfaction but i did just want to mention it anyway and again on the slide as well we are experiencing a nationwide shortage of medical personnel police officers firefighters and more of your trauma emergency personnel like emts paramedics ems transport driver nwide shortage of medical personnel police officers firefighters and more of your trauma emergency personnel like emts paramedics ems transport drivers and things like that so i'll talk more about that in just a bit but i did want to touch on it here as well and sticking with the theme of logistics let's talk a little bit about a trend that is occurring in grocery stores all over the world and that trend is stores attempting to conceal their supply chain issues with photographs or selectively staged products so this has always been a practice in most grocery stores from an advertising standpoint and just one of the things that you do as a like a grocery store manager or owner a lot of grocery stores at pretty much every grocery store i can think of they do things like back filling the shelves when they run out of items so that instead of having an empty shelf for a customer to look at customers receive full shelves but not the normal products that they normally might see most stores did this with the toilet paper shortages from last year like think about it toilet paper is a very big bulky product and it usually has an entire aisle dedicated to it so rather than have an entire aisl ear like think about it toilet paper is a very big bulky product and it usually has an entire aisle dedicated to it so rather than have an entire aisle empty they put things like bundles of firewood or other large products on the shelves that normally held toilet paper so that customers wouldn't see empty shelves so why would a company do this why would a company want to make sure customers don't see empty shelves well it's pretty simple market research consistently proves that people tend to shop more when the shelves are full and products are correctly fronted and faced meaning that products they're not at the back of the shelves right they're moved right up forward right right up front near the edge with all the labels aligned forward towards the customer so i say all of that to hopefully shed some light on these practices yes deception is a factor all advertising is deception but there is a huge leap between a company wanting to fill a void on a shelf to make it look better for a customer and a company actively concealing a supply chain shortage because of a political reason the latter scenario is something that is straight out of the soviet union and despite what the experts o chain shortage because of a political reason the latter scenario is something that is straight out of the soviet union and despite what the experts on twitter will tell you this is not usually the motivation for doing this which is why i am showing you these two images both images were taken in a tesco in the united kingdom as that grocery store chain has been observed to do this kind of a lot lately so they have the best examples and in the image on the left empty produce containers are being filled with cardboard cutouts of artistic photos of oranges and on the right empty laundry detergent shelves are holding pictures of the product rather than the actual product itself these two images are very different in motivation in the image on the left it's obviously supposed to be artistic it's supposed to be a nice thing to look at rather than an empty plastic container the oranges are the size of soccer balls and obviously even like cut open in the picture how often do you see soccer ball sized oranges on the shelf that are actually cut up like when it comes to this photo the deception factor is quite low right there's not a whole lot of intentional deception here it's just something up like when it comes to this photo the deception factor is quite low right there's not a whole lot of intentional deception here it's just something nice to look at rather than an empty container yes the store could have just left the boxes empty and not put a cardboard cut out but all in all in the image on the left this is really just for aesthetically pleasing reasons but let's take a closer look at the other photo this photo is a much different story in fact when i first saw this image myself i had to do a double take because the optical illusion was so good these photos are actually of the proper containers on the shelf scaled appropriately and with the right lighting conditions to make it look like the shelves are full in other words you might literally walk past this shelf and not even notice anything is wrong of course looking at a two-dimensional image is obviously different from looking at this shelf with your two eyes in person but these images are quite clearly meant to maintain the illusion that there is something on the shelf plus combined with the normal pricing signage and the disclaimer that these products can be purchased they're just behind the counter so they e shelf plus combined with the normal pricing signage and the disclaimer that these products can be purchased they're just behind the counter so they can be rationed this image has a lot more perceived deception than the other image and i say perceived deception because there's really no way to tell this could be just some super stellar rock star work by an employee who took the time to photograph these products in the right lighting and then print out a two scale oversized image on photo paper and put it in a frameless low profile plastic holder that's almost invisible that's possible but as an analyst i know good camouflage when i see it and my assessment is that this specific practice in this specific image is intended to conceal a shortage as for the reasons for that concealment who knows it could be financially based or it could be political taking the north korea approach to trying to pretend like everything is perfectly fine when the store is empty it could be any of these reasons i don't know i just wanted to point this out because to me it's utterly fascinating and i would urge everyone to pay attention to these kinds of camouflage efforts this stuff is pretty crazy and of cause to me it's utterly fascinating and i would urge everyone to pay attention to these kinds of camouflage efforts this stuff is pretty crazy and often done in advance of and in preparation for an impending shortage so you might notice that if a grocery store is trying to hide something and you detect these camouflage efforts early enough you might be one of the last few lucky ones to get that product from behind the counter while they still have it and before most people even discover the camouflage and notice that there is a shortage of something and moving on to kind of going back to uh what we had last time when it comes to the mandate update so we're not legal experts i'm certainly not a lawyer so i don't understand a lot of this stuff but i can read pretty well i think and it seems like there's a lot of stuff going on here so let's let's tackle it so this first mandate right the one in green up at up on the top with that every private company with 100 more employees must get uh the employees jabbed right that actually came out so osha officially ordered that mandate and pretty much instantly a court put it on hold likewise the federal contractor mandate that was expanded a so osha officially ordered that mandate and pretty much instantly a court put it on hold likewise the federal contractor mandate that was expanded a little bit or at least i guess the wording was changed slightly and despite the fact that several federal judges have over the past few months since the beginning of october the beginning of november uh they have declined and refused to put that order on hold another federal judge appears to have put this one on hold as well so really the the question is what is going on uh when it comes to these mandates now when it comes to you guys in the military you guys are still screwed um yes we know about the things like the kubernetes shots not actually available for anybody so technically all of these mandates all of these orders are illegal orders and you can get into the weeds on that as well but as far as for our guys in the military who are being faced with this kind of stuff really there's not a whole lot of new information that we have and others are doing a far better job at covering it uh than than we can do uh the point is is that a lot of these mandates are coming on hold but companies are still kind of going forward like you know uh than than we can do uh the point is is that a lot of these mandates are coming on hold but companies are still kind of going forward like you know the regime said hey doesn't matter what the court says go forward and go ahead and still order these mandates well what this isn't the soviet union you know at least not yet so it's really hard to say if companies and even if the federal regime is going to go by a court and clearly the federal regime has made it quite clear that they are not going to abide by a court's regulation so i guess we'll have to see on that but i just wanted to let everybody know that what we briefed last time is kind of on hold for now it went into place and then now it's on hold so we'll see how it turns out hopefully we'll be able to roll back some of this authoritarianism but you never really know so that's enough on that let's roll into critical infrastructure concerns so a lot of interesting stuff this time uh really the first one to kind of get it out of the way because it's the one that we know least about and that is a us defense contractor was hit with a cyber attack a few days ago this cyber uh this cyber attack was uh implemented on the systems o out and that is a us defense contractor was hit with a cyber attack a few days ago this cyber uh this cyber attack was uh implemented on the systems of a contracting group called electronic warfare associates uh and basically was a data breach at least what the what the company's publicly said it seems like it's financial in nature i like they just wanted to steal some credit card numbers and birth certificates from the employees but you never really know because literally the name of the company is electronic warfare associates i wonder what kind of stuff they do those of you that have a couple of brain cells to rub together can imagine that they do things like a build radar they build uh communication setups and satellite communication suites and simulators and other kinds of training equipment and things like that and a lot of electronic warfare packages and softwares and things like that for the us military so you know this is the second time they've been hit with a ransomware attack they were hit uh last year as where as well and that was a ransomware attack this was when the ransomware attacks were kind of gaining traction amongst the defense community so something to keep an that was a ransomware attack this was when the ransomware attacks were kind of gaining traction amongst the defense community so something to keep an eye on really not a whole lot any of us can do from a you know average citizen you know standpoint but i did think it was kind of interesting and really the most interesting one on the slide interesting interesting that the most interesting one on the slide is point two when i literally have smallpox on the slide last uh point two there is the first i say first uh domestic uas attack on electrical substation so the u.s intel community released uh some details to a few different journalistic websites and this photograph actually of an a uas system a dji drone that was used to attack an electrical substation so this is allegedly the first time this has been done i know personally this is definitely not the first time this has been done this has been done many times before but this is the first time that the us intel communities actually come out and said yeah this was a this is a legitimate attack now the attack was a failure because the drone actually didn't make it to the electrical substation however whoever did this attack is one s te attack now the attack was a failure because the drone actually didn't make it to the electrical substation however whoever did this attack is one smart cookie because this is exactly the kind of technology that the us military still uses and used very famously during the iraq invasion to take out saddam's electrical substations basically there's this electrical substations obviously have a lot of exposed wires so the the us military doctrine or at least the doctrine that was used at the time was to use stealth fighters to get in there launched some i think there were tomahawk missiles that actually trailed behind the missile a very thin carbon uh filament and that wire would then fall through the air and land on top of electrical substation cause a shortage and that's your uh that's your attack on the substation you end up taking an entire neighborhood uh their entire neighborhood's electricity offline without ever killing anyone at all and that's kind of the the goal of that kind of military munition now this uas system used almost the exact same thing it was a simple as you can see in the image the very blurry image that the us government provided it was a drone system with a t the exact same thing it was a simple as you can see in the image the very blurry image that the us government provided it was a drone system with a trailing copper wire or some kind of some kind of wire that was intended to cause a short at the electrical substation again very smart very smart level attack so whoever did this has some knowledge of how this stuff works or at least has google or maybe a history book in any case i thought it was very interesting that this kind of thing is now occurring we've seen similar things with a bunch of antifa guys putting coat racks and things like that or coat hangers on um railroad crossings and things like that there have been a lot of attacks on critical infrastructure that nobody really reports on because guess who does it it's antifa right so the you know mainstream media doesn't want to talk about antifa because well many reasons i guess but this is an interesting thing nobody really knows who who did it um or at least they're not publicly saying who did it or and no group has claimed responsibility so it could just be a lone lone guy but as you can see a loan guy with a couple hundred dollar drone and you know 20 feet of wire can cer sponsibility so it could just be a lone lone guy but as you can see a loan guy with a couple hundred dollar drone and you know 20 feet of wire can certainly uh cause a lot of problems for you for the united states and moving on to number three there our strategic oil reserves are actually down now this is something that a lot of websites are actually just picking up on this has been a thing that's been going on for months now so i'm not quite sure why anybody suddenly starts reading the eia's website but really our our the report was released this morning uh or i think maybe yesterday morning that our strategic petroleum reserves are currently at they're sitting at around 433 million barrels which is seven percent below the five-year average so our strategic oil reserves are down our gasoline reserves are down our um gasoline blending components levels that's doing okay which makes sense because it's only on demand of gasoline and things like that so our our petroleum products are not doing super hot right now as far as why or what this means well you can you can talk hours about this with people who are vastly more intelligent than us on this topic but basically one of the problem is means well you can you can talk hours about this with people who are vastly more intelligent than us on this topic but basically one of the problems one of the reasons for these problems in the oil community is demand demand went down and then it came back up sharply and production has had a lot of problems you also have medical mandates uh people walking out and things like that so now you've got a supply issue so you've got some issues on the supply side of things you've got issues on the demand side of things and the nature of how our logistics work in this country mean that if there's a problem at any level that problem is going to spread quite quickly so something to keep an eye on definitely need to figure out or start thinking about alternative energy methods which is kind of something we've talked about before but i don't know about you but i can't make gasoline in my garage right i can't go into my backyard and pump petroleum out of the ground and then put it in my car it doesn't work like that so the federal government controls a strategic oil reserves the federal government has the ability to turn a pipeline on or off as we learned quite quickly a few months ago so th ntrols a strategic oil reserves the federal government has the ability to turn a pipeline on or off as we learned quite quickly a few months ago so the the the bottom line i guess is to start thinking about your energy needs because this stuff is important and uh it can it can come up on you sneak up on you really quickly and speaking of sneaking around uh number four there is a apparently now we have to deal with smallpox this is a story that just came out a few days ago but a worker in a america research facility uh discovered they were cleaning out the freezer and came upon i think 15 vials of that were they were labeled smallpox um and for those of you who might not understand this is uh probably one of the biggest deals that's going to hit the world this year because smallpox is kind of a big deal smallpox has been eradicated since uh 1980 officially there have been zero cases of smallpox on the planet since 1980 there have been mishaps and there have been accidents where people get smallpox researchers working with it but but here's the kicker there are only two places in the entire world that are allowed to have smallpox one of those is the cdc center in atlanta and the othe re's the kicker there are only two places in the entire world that are allowed to have smallpox one of those is the cdc center in atlanta and the other one is the state research center of virology and biotechnology in russia's siberia also known as the vector institute so you've got the cdc and some random secret squirrel probably run by the fsb facility in siberia and it's a little bit out of place for smallpox which is again been eradicated globally since 1980 and only two places on the planet can even possess it it's a little weird for smallpox to pop up in a freezer outside of philly and that's so yeah kind of a problem uh i don't know what this means i'm sure that our i'm sure our conspiracy theory brethren are freaking out over this right now but as of right now there's no data there's no data to analyze so we just know the vials were found the fbi is investigating if you know and of course the fbi investigating anything these days is probably a strong indicator of some kind of nefarious activity based on what the fbi is currently interested in which we'll talk about again in just a minute but who really knows there's no there's really no telling as to what this means or or a ly interested in which we'll talk about again in just a minute but who really knows there's no there's really no telling as to what this means or or anything like that this could just be a colossal colossal mistake there's no it could be intentional who knows there's no data to say either way um i just wanted to point out that it did in fact happen mostly for posterity's sake i guess so let's go ahead and move into significant governmental actions android to start with is an event that really isn't something that occurred even in the united states but i thought i'd mention it because it kind of matters a lot so this is this occurred in australia and the australian government discovered that the store chain as 711 actively collected hyper accurate imagery for facial recognition purposes called you know face prints so i know kind of ironic that the australian government out of all the governments on the earth is the one that's concerned about overreach and spying and things like that but i did want to mention it because it's kind of interesting because there are kind of a lot of 7-elevens here in the united states and you never really know what the system is going to be doing right t eresting because there are kind of a lot of 7-elevens here in the united states and you never really know what the system is going to be doing right the way that this collection worked in australia was there was a sort of like an ipad kiosk station set up for customers to take surveys and things like that and they were capturing people's facial images uh several times during that so i don't know if it's just some kind of uh in the united states i don't know if if this is a factor or not i did just want to point it out though because it's yet another company that is going above and beyond to spy on people in the corporate uh world so i thought it was kind of interesting to note moving on to number two there the biden regime's nomination for the comptroller of currency uh solely omrova has been revealed to be a very radical choice as one might expect from the biden regime at this point she has made statements in the past which of course you'd expect conservative mainstream media to pick up some of these quotes are that she wants quote the complete migration of demand deposit accounts to the federal reserve um meaning that she wants you to not have a savings account she wants me to no he complete migration of demand deposit accounts to the federal reserve um meaning that she wants you to not have a savings account she wants me to not having savings account or a checking account and quite literally the federal reserve will decide how much money you get that's what she wants she's also made statements that she wants to quote bankrupt the energy sector for climate change purposes and things like that she's also she's of course as you might expect an unabashed communist in her doctoral thesis in college was titled karl marx's economic analysis and the theory of revolution in das capital marx's book or ghost written book however you want to define that um so yeah she's a very extreme choice this is going to be not super great as one might expect look economics is one of those things where if most people figured it out the whole system would collapse if even just a percentage of people figured it out the entire system would collapse if anybody actually knew what the federal what the federal reserve did this country would be very different but i'm not hanging my hat on any hopes that people might do this do this research and figure out what this stuff is the point is i be very different but i'm not hanging my hat on any hopes that people might do this do this research and figure out what this stuff is the point is is that now would be a very good time to reassess your eggs and make sure they aren't all in the same basket i find it very hard to believe that the us government is going to start sucking money out of personal savings accounts tomorrow but clearly they have the capability and as this regime has shown us and i suppose other regimes as well other regimes around the world and even other prior presidential administrations if it can happen it will happen so that's the thing that i guess we should be prepared for as far as specific things to do i'm not an economics expert so i don't feel comfortable uh really telling people what to do all i can say is be smart diversify do all the good things that you know are economically sound and we can research this a little bit more and figure out what to do later but by and large the system is is not as secure as we were led to believe like i grew up in a world where it was perhaps a false hope i guess but you put money in a bank account and you were going to be sure that it was going to be there when a world where it was perhaps a false hope i guess but you put money in a bank account and you were going to be sure that it was going to be there when you retired that's not the case anymore i don't think that's been the case for a very long time probably since before even i was born but the point is is that we're here now and if you don't understand even the basic economic structures of how this country works and how it's supposed to work and how it actually works you should probably start researching that that would be a good idea to to do moving forward so i'll just leave it there at that and we can talk about that more later but moving on to number three uh this was kind of an inflammatory one that came out on social media this was a video that occurred that that kind of came out in which in in texas a a certain antibody treatment for a certain um viral infection right was denied based on purely racial criteria right the the antibodies are not available or at least the video in the video the hospital worker says that the options for this antibody treatment are not available to white or asian patients as ordered as written into the criteria by texas's department of health and hu or this antibody treatment are not available to white or asian patients as ordered as written into the criteria by texas's department of health and human services so as of gosh i think actually as of this morning you know greg abbott's office has not yet responded to this event but it seems like texas's department of health and human services has started denying treatment based on racial means this comes if if this is true again we don't really know anything this is one social media post one guy's video we don't really know what the deal is however many journalists of of course again untrustworthy mainstream media or journalists have physically called the department of health and human services and they have confirmed it at least to the journalists so i don't know how much more confirmation you need for that but it seems like this is definitely the practice at least in texas um and i guess we'll have to see how that how that works out it's not really any particular surprise uh from us because we've been tracking medical groups denying treatment based on race for wow gosh two years now i guess but i just wanted to point it out that if you're in texas i would look into this a little treatment based on race for wow gosh two years now i guess but i just wanted to point it out that if you're in texas i would look into this a little bit more or if you're in really any state look into this more and see what your local hospitals are doing moving on to number four there um man new york city is just i don't know what to even say about it it's gotten to the point to where it's it's beyond any kind of fantasy novel we can try to try to compare it to and really the flavor this week is bill de blasio wants five year olds to show uh show papers right when they're entering businesses so this has already been a thing in san francisco and some other parts of california as well and now you new york is kind of getting on this train and and look um really the only thing i have to say on that is we here all the staff here recommend leaving new york city and other cities like it as soon as you can yes it's not as easy to move these days and job uncertainty is at an all-time high and even amongst ourselves here uh most of our staff here cannot afford to move to a more remote area uh just yet because it's just too expensive and um yeah but if you live in some of these more dystopia ere cannot afford to move to a more remote area uh just yet because it's just too expensive and um yeah but if you live in some of these more dystopian cities like new york anywhere in california right like i myself have never been one to recommend moving away from a problem right because that problem is just going to follow you look at texas right texas a lot of as a whole right dallas and austin extremely politically nut cities now and that's because people were leaving california for texas so we know and i know in myself that this cancer just kind of follows you however um you also have to do what's right for you and your family and i can't even imagine how it must feel to have your your five-year-old child show papers to a police officer um i i just can't i can't fathom that and um yeah so our recommendation here is to try to find a place where you can rest and recoup regroup you know someplace cheaper new york expensive place to live and see what you can do to help get this country out of the gutter we're in so i'll just leave it at that and we can move on to number five which is equally cheery in that uh the main p company there um i'm self-censoring this one because i have n at that and we can move on to number five which is equally cheery in that uh the main p company there um i'm self-censoring this one because i have no freaking clue as to what algorithms youtube is using to listen to what i'm saying right now but in any case the big company the big p company we all know about that makes uh alleged medicine um has been confirmed to falsify data to indicate that not as many people suffered from adverse reactions during the trials shocker i know it's almost like we said we and hundreds of other thousands of people have been saying this for literally years now um and it just turns out that the truth is that more people died after getting the jab than died unjabbed at least during the clinical trials of pfizer but don't take my word for it please don't go and check out the sources we have you can check the links research the the peer-reviewed articles there or the articles that are currently being peer-reviewed and you can research the data yourself it's pretty easy to do at this point um so yeah i just wanted to point out that that did occur and then before we move on to anything else i did briefly want to touch on this so this is a letter or at least anted to point out that that did occur and then before we move on to anything else i did briefly want to touch on this so this is a letter or at least the first two pages of a letter that was sent by jim jordan to the attorney general of the united states merrick garland and i'll just read the first paragraph to kind of give you the abstract of what this is about so dear attorney general garland last month during your testimony before the judiciary committee you testified that the department of justice and federal bureau of investigation were not using federal counterterrorism tools to target concerned parents at local school board meetings we are now in receipt of a protected disclosure from a department whistleblower showing that the fbi's counterterrorism division is compiling and categorizing threat assessments related to parents including a document directing fbi personnel to use a specific quote threat tag to track potential investigation this new information caused into question the accuracy and completeness of your sworn testimony so you can read the full letter yourself there's page one and two here is the third page and here is the actual evidence so these are the screens mony so you can read the full letter yourself there's page one and two here is the third page and here is the actual evidence so these are the screenshots of the email that pretty much indicates that uh senior fbi leadership uh is in fact collecting intelligence on u.s persons uh with regards to parents and school board meetings this email from senior fbi leadership references quite clearly that merrick garland quite literally and openly lied under oath and that the fbi is using their intelligence collection tools to spy on and specifically target investigations towards parents who get slightly upset at school board meetings so yeah i don't think this is a surprise to anyone because but i think that it's pretty clear right now what the fbi's intentions are um and again just for those of you who don't know merrick garland the the attorney general um for those of you who don't remember is the father-in-law of alexander tanner alexander tanner is the co-founder of a company that has very large contracts we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of contracts to provide critical race theory propaganda curriculum to school systems so there's quite literally the most clear of c s of dollars worth of contracts to provide critical race theory propaganda curriculum to school systems so there's quite literally the most clear of conflicts of interest in this case and you know again i don't want to be just some other guy that's shouting about this on the internet but man like you've got to talk about this kind of stuff and kind of get a feel for how dystopian we are and uh that's pretty dystopian so got the fbi openly targeting parents at school board meetings instead of the islamic insurgents that are running around this country because i don't know if anybody remembered or not but the virginia state police and about 30 different law enforcement groups were saying that there were isis militants running around virginia planning an attack um a couple weeks ago and uh didn't hear anything back from that so um they didn't announce that they caught the guys uh they did not they did not announce that anything had happened so i guess we have to assume that those isis militants are still in this country and still at large but again the fbi is more concerned about parents not wanting their children to learn critical race theory in school so again quite dystopian but le e but again the fbi is more concerned about parents not wanting their children to learn critical race theory in school so again quite dystopian but let's go ahead and punch forward into the national guard deployments for this cycle so here is your reference slide and let's move right into the northeast so the biggest one for this cycle is the mission accomplished so for massachusetts massachusetts their mission to drive children to school is officially over they had by their own admission over 500 soldiers doing this i don't think that anybody liked that and if anybody sort of liked the idea of what that precedent was what that precedent became i'm pretty sure they haven't read too many books in their life but in any case you should not be seeing any soldiers driving children to school in the state of massachusetts anymore at least for now until when they put this mission back on again because that's how uh that's how things work right so there's there you go on that also we don't have much more information about new york they're keeping that very tight lipped as to how much how many soldiers are actually deployed to new york area hospitals we know the deployment occurred we know t ing that very tight lipped as to how much how many soldiers are actually deployed to new york area hospitals we know the deployment occurred we know the deployment is currently occurring we just don't have numbers and we don't have units so something to something to to keep in mind moving forward and also no real update on connecticut uh doing the same so i guess we'll have to wait and see on that likewise moving forward into the southeast absolutely no change here we're seeing numbers fluctuate wildly so as time goes on and as we don't make any changes to these slides become more inaccurate but we don't have any information to put on them so um yeah there you go earliest we don't have any information that can be talked about and can be verified in an open source manner i should say that that way but moving forward into the big one uh for the cyclist midwest obviously the wisconsin national guard has been activated in kenosha um for domestic policing actions and things like that so those guys are going to be on the ground for a while um following this verdict whenever it comes out and see how that works out but no no other change so far also the southwestern region a lot of troops um following this verdict whenever it comes out and see how that works out but no no other change so far also the southwestern region a lot of troops still on the ground the border mission is expanding every day and it's getting a little bit more hairy down there at the border but i haven't really had time to sit down and do the bean counting and figure out how many units are there and how many more people are there so sorry this slide hasn't been updated in a couple weeks but that's pretty much what i've got on this one and then very similar situation out west i do know the oregon mission is winding down mostly because that letter that i mentioned last time was sent i ruffled some feathers so as it will as it rightly should so the oregon national guard air national guard is reducing that mission quite significantly so that's really all i have on that and moving forward into the school mass mandates i do have one change and that is tennessee unfortunately a judge has blocked the mask mandate ban so this is kind of confusing here a judge didn't outright block it but the judge said that both parties in the lawsuit have to maintain the status quo until it can go to court which is in p ge didn't outright block it but the judge said that both parties in the lawsuit have to maintain the status quo until it can go to court which is in practicality this is like we're having people are having to interpret well what does a judge actually mean so this effectively means that the mandate ban has been blocked and he but again this gets more complicated because not really many people know how to interpret this court order and a lot of school districts are saying yes that yay the jud the judge blocked the mask mandate ban now we're going to require masks for school so now it looks like a significant number of uh school districts in tennessee are now requiring masks for school now again it there's a difference between endorsing a mask mandate and um not allowing a mandate ban there's a difference there right that's why they're different colors on this slide here but in practicality it looks like a lot of a lot of school districts are going are using this court order as kind of a de facto victory and in using that as a way to institute mask mandates remember like i mentioned last time a lot of companies a lot of entities around the world they're just waiting to use that excuse titute mask mandates remember like i mentioned last time a lot of companies a lot of entities around the world they're just waiting to use that excuse well we were just following orders right the classic excuse from a certain political party in a regime during the 1930s and 40s right we were just following orders we didn't really do any of this stuff ourselves well look at look around the country there are so many hundreds if not thousands of places that are chomping at the bit to use that excuse we were just following orders and school districts are one of those so they saw this did they saw this order and they're saying okay they're using that as to to stomp on the gas when it comes to mass mandates so huge problem for tennessee i'm sure that it will probably get ironed out here soon because all these lawsuits are actually finally making it to court now but we'll see as far as the jab of mandates themselves really no major change here california is still doing stupid california things and i'm sure other states will probably follow suit soon but you never really know really what i want to do is push forward into this slide the overall resistance tracker because there's one major c uit soon but you never really know really what i want to do is push forward into this slide the overall resistance tracker because there's one major change over where the wind comes sweeping down the plane that's right in oklahoma the national guard adjutant general there has ordered that national guard members in oklahoma will not be mandated to get the jab as long as they stay on title 32 orders if they federalize they go on title 10 as in if the president federalizes them they will be required because the federal government has a different thing but the adjutant general has said that he is taking his orders from the governor as long as they are on title 32 orders so gold star to oklahoma this is great this is the first state that we're aware of where a a state national guard is actually going against the federal government and this is a huge deal i don't think people realize how big of a deal this is for a national guard unit a national guard for a state to go against a federal mandate that's just completely unheard of and it's it's good to see and oklahoma's national guard is not super big so it kind of makes sense but i think that's a very good metric to track so actually movi s good to see and oklahoma's national guard is not super big so it kind of makes sense but i think that's a very good metric to track so actually moving forward i wanted to end on some good news uh before we hit the international stuff for once right talking about some good news right so i built this slide to show which companies and entities are being forced to go against the mandates because they can't afford to lose their employees so this is obviously not a complete list but this is a fantastic way to measure the effect effectiveness of resistance efforts remember being able to assess resistance effectiveness is very important because it shows the areas that we can put more effort into and the areas that are a lot you know kind of a lost cause right plus it's very handy for the average person to know just how many other people out there are resisting right it's not like the mainstream media is talking about this resistance in any form or fashion unless it hits unless it's you know able to sell newspapers but showing the effective resistance this can completely eliminate the bystander effect and let people know that they are not alone and thus increasing the resistance to this s resistance this can completely eliminate the bystander effect and let people know that they are not alone and thus increasing the resistance to this stuff even more significantly so first up is chicago over one third of chicago police department officers missed the jab mandate deadline and also a judge has temporarily blocked lori lightfoot's mandate that the chicago pd jab all of their officers so they're they're kind of sitting pretty right now i can tell you one third of officers walking off the job will be devastating for any law enforcement group whatsoever so those guys are actually their resistance has been pretty effective so far it got the uh they got lorry life food to back down at least for now so very interesting to talk about also like i mentioned the oklahoma national guard their jab mandate has been rescinded so troops national guard soldiers in oklahoma no longer have to get the jab moving into airlines southwest airlines of course manned rescinded their jab mandate a long time ago several weeks ago actually because they simply couldn't do it they couldn't afford the pilots that were walking off the job so they had to rescind their mandate american airlines has also ey simply couldn't do it they couldn't afford the pilots that were walking off the job so they had to rescind their mandate american airlines has also sort of done the same thing but a little softer they extended the deadline significantly for their job mandate so again more pressure can be applied to american airlines and a few of other the other of these airlines that we've been tracking to make sure that people realize they they realize that people don't want this stuff and then also more along the lines of critical infrastructure we have two real big big ones this week and that is uh ingles shipbuilding they have rescinded their jab mandate the these guys build ships for the navy and they have a significant a significant uh portion of shipbuilding operations going on in like newport news norfolk area for the navy and things like that so they rescinded their uh jab main date because they could they literally could not afford to have their people walk off the job same thing in alaska the uh alaska railroad company they rescinded their mandate as well now this one's a little weird because alaska railroad initially sent an email to their workers that stated that they were going to ir mandate as well now this one's a little weird because alaska railroad initially sent an email to their workers that stated that they were going to follow the mandate but just a couple of days later the board voted unanimously to defy the mandate right so we assessed with pretty high confidence that this was probably this change of heart was probably due to a wave of resistance from the railroad workers saying they're going to quit because only 53 percent of the entire companies 692 employees have been jabbed so far so firing half of your workforce is completely unsustainable the alaska railroad probably couldn't even afford to to cut loose one percent of their workforce to be honest that would be way too much for them so very interesting i did want to to talk about this kind of stuff because hey look it looks like the world's falling apart at the seams right like we know this is kind of there's so much negativity going on around around the world but i can tell you that a lot of this stuff hey the resistance is doing is doing something and i just wanted to kind of point that out before we jumped into the international stuff and speaking of international stuff let's go ahead and j ing and i just wanted to kind of point that out before we jumped into the international stuff and speaking of international stuff let's go ahead and jump right into that a lot of interesting things happening and a lot of things are kind of scary so really one of the scarier ones is russia so russia confirmed that they did indeed use an earth-based weapons system to destroy a satellite in orbit which the u.s initially called a debris generating event because the debris cloud from this this explosion right was a concern for other satellites in orbit to include the international space station um but you know russia is going to do russian things right so this is a pretty big deal because both uh both the us and russia have been working on developing this counter satellite technology for a very long time but for the most part both of our nations have been kind of keeping a low profile with this kind of stuff because blowing up a satellite in orbit is a massive provocation by either side right so every single nation on earth knows that the us is diplomatically and internationally weak right now and russia has been running hog wild as a direct result of this so we're certainly going to ha us is diplomatically and internationally weak right now and russia has been running hog wild as a direct result of this so we're certainly going to have to dig into this one a bit more and probably do a dedicated video on it for all six people who are interested in this kind of stuff but for now it's going to be curious to see what the us government response is going to be if there is one at all moving forward to the united kingdom man our friends across the pond are not doing so hot right now there was a pretty big terror attack in liverpool um there's really not much to mention on the attack itself other than that it kind of happened uh the assailant was a 32 year old asylum seeker who detonated an explosive device from the back seat of a taxi cab outside of a women's women's hospital on sunday the taxi driver david perry is a british british citizen survived the attack and as time goes on i assume we're going to learn more details about the specifics of the attack and what's happened and things like that but in response to this incident the uk terror threat level has been raised to severe uh and this is because this attack is the second islamic terror attack within a month follo ident the uk terror threat level has been raised to severe uh and this is because this attack is the second islamic terror attack within a month following this stabbing murder of the british member of parliament david amos by another islamic extremist so the kingdom as a whole is like i mentioned not doing super well when it comes to the terrorism threats becoming more significant um and as as always you know once one event happens another copycat event happens they usually come in waves right so hopefully this is not the rise of another wave but we're definitely going to be keeping an eye out from our friends uh friends across across the ocean there moving on to austria the the australian government has determined that their best course of action is to repeat history quite accurately and quite significantly by sending out police officers to conduct random checks of medical passports of people going out in public on the street so yeah i guess it really didn't go out of style over time but this is part of a fresh wave of totalitarianism that has swept through europe and in austria in particular every citizen has to be jabbed even to be in a public place otherwise the informal but ve m that has swept through europe and in austria in particular every citizen has to be jabbed even to be in a public place otherwise the informal but very real medical house arrest that most countries have adopted it's really the only option for avoiding jail time or hefty fines in austria so um there you go it's quite poetic in a lot of ways how um you know they say that history repeats or at least rhymes and i guess we're kind of finding out that that's quite true but moving on to armenia and azerbaijan unfortunately the war is back on again as quite literally everyone expected azerbaijan started the war back by shelling civilian cities in armenia and by capturing and torturing armenian border guards and soldiers so currently the fighting is not located in nagorno-karabakh like last time since azerbaijan maintains control of that region they kind of they kind of won the war right so they kind of kept it azerbaijan has done what literally everyone expected and has pushed further into armenian territory to take as much land from armenia as they can our pretty easy softball assessment is that azerbaijan is putting pressure on armenia to concede even more territory to azerbaijan and so as they can our pretty easy softball assessment is that azerbaijan is putting pressure on armenia to concede even more territory to azerbaijan and sort of hold the nagorno-karabakh region as hostage as a prize that azerbaijan can be appeased with so that azerbaijan doesn't invade the rest of armenia if that kind of makes sense we all know how appeasement works out when it comes to the annexation of other countries right anybody who's read a history book knows that it doesn't work out super well but by and large we think like many others that azerbaijan will not stop fighting until armenia doesn't even exist anymore so as far as how long that's going to take or even if that will be possible nobody really knows moving on to poland and belarus pretty serious stuff going on between these two nations this is definitely the hottest border crisis i've personally seen in a long time between a nato member and a russian proxy in short this border dispute originated by belarus acting almost certainly on russia's orders funneling in as many refugees from the middle east as possible to the polish border so that they can gain access to the schengen zone and nato and the rest of western europe m gees from the middle east as possible to the polish border so that they can gain access to the schengen zone and nato and the rest of western europe middle eastern refugees have been a huge problem for a very long time in europe and belarus is intentionally funneling through people to poland and thus creating issues so tensions are pretty high poland actually threatened to invoke article 4 of the nato charter which is a huge freaking deal like this is the article that states that an attack on one member state is an attack on all so poland even mentioning this threat publicly is sort of akin to casually suggesting a world war which is pretty much exactly what would happen if this if they went through with this threat so this really hints at how serious of a problem this is it's not just a simple border dispute poland is treating this as an attack on their sovereignty due to the direct support that lucas lukashenko's government is giving the refugees such as giving them wire cutters and melee weapons to throw a throw at or hurt the polish border guards with and i also say refugees in heavy air quotes because a significant number of these people are really bad people like isis militan sh border guards with and i also say refugees in heavy air quotes because a significant number of these people are really bad people like isis militants and other degenerates that aren't exactly looking to escape to a better life they're just really looking to harm as many people as possible so again when we slap that word refugee on a group of people we think oh well they're just trying to escape to a better life it's a much much different situation with the refugees in europe let me just leave it at that and say that it's not as innocent as you think it is and the middle east as a whole culturally religiously socially is very very different than what most people think it actually is you have to go there you have to live that life you have to experience what that culture is um from a few different perspectives to kind of understand what a lot of these people are like and specifically the ones that are coming up to the border in poland are not super great people so i'll just leave it at that and say yeah this is a big issue that's going to ha that's probably going to spiral uh down downward for a while hopefully not too bad but you never know and then finally france speaking of imm ng to ha that's probably going to spiral uh down downward for a while hopefully not too bad but you never know and then finally france speaking of immigration issues france has been dealing with a lot of immigration issues just like everybody else in europe but lately it's been exasperated and really especially spicy for france because november 13th was the anniversary of the paris terror attacks that killed 160 people six years ago and this also in conjunction with this around the same time of this anniversary um there has been some collusion that came to light in which private companies were partnering with government agencies to discriminate against french citizens by hiring only refugees so companies set up this racket where they would get cheap labor and the french government would have an excuse to bring in more refugees or have a place to put the refugees so you know obviously this is an oversimplification of the issue remember needless complexity is a great way to conceal activities so there's obviously more to it than this but the point is is that france like the united states is going to be dealing with immigration from the middle east for a long time to come so that's al t the point is is that france like the united states is going to be dealing with immigration from the middle east for a long time to come so that's all i've got for today everyone thank you all for watching and thank you again to everyone who supports us out there it really does make a huge difference so here are your slides for today this is your slide one slide two slide three and slide four so as always these slides can be found on our odyssey page by using the links in the description like i mentioned and you can find all that stuff there and if you wanted to watch the video over on odyssey you can do that too so there you go hopefully this helps everyone and again thank you all for watching and always remember fight in the shade
