Nov 3 Intel Update: A Game of Chicken

Hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground this is the briefing for wednesday november 3rd 2021 and it is being recorded on the 2nd of november the day prior as usual so first off a brief disclaimer sorry if the audio is not great on this particular episode i know we're not really known for great audio here. But the local government in our filming location is doing some kind of god-awful project and they are making all kinds of racket with about as many machines as you could possibly imagine so while the local government continues to destroy my little local area here i'm going to try to muddle through this brief as best i can so sorry if the audio is a little bit weird starting off with the weather we can see that winter has arrived in some parts of the country and as usual we've got a lot of weather advisories which we'll see on the next slide. But really the only thing to note for now is uh that we are in a red loom cycle so lunar elimination is going to be at 7.2 percent so really dark nights and as you can see i've threw the moonrise and moon set times on there as well because that's kind of super important to deal with illumination right so the moon can be as bright as it wants to be. But if it's below the horizon it doesn't really matter right so as we can see the moon set time is at 607 pm and the lunar elimination is again at 7.2 percent and like i mentioned as far as advisories we've got a lot of advisories going on through oklahoma and kansas and some spotty stuff out on the west coast as usual. But that's that's typical for this time of year no dams for this cycle not really a whole lot going on nothing major to a report there are a few. But it's mostly stuff like space launches and things that you know are pretty typical nothing like that jumped out at me is worth briefing and as far as civil unrest goes uh we there are some updates. But i'll have to talk about the civil unrest situation as we kind of go along through the brief really the biggest thing to note is new york city again the medical mandates are are wreaking havoc on the local first responders and and policing organizations in new york city. But again we'll talk about that further and also i threw this little box on there because i'm seeing a lot of talk about it uh there's a nationwide public service walkout i've seen a lot of posters going around i don't know about anybody else. But it seems like there have been a lot a lot of just random posters going around advertising these kinds of walkouts all with different dates so i've seen some that say uh november 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th nights on up you know through throughout the whole month and really there's there's no real like organization like there's they're not tied to an organization they're not uh nobody has their like name on it so you can't like contact an organization to find out more it's just these random posters so i don't know what's going on you know it could be some kind of conspiracy who knows i just wanted to point out that there are a lot that seem to be circulating now that the public service industry uh has started to get these mandates and uh it's become kind of popular for the uh public service industries to resist that. But again we'll talk more about that in just a minute and moving into logistics so i know that it's kind of a fighting a losing battle to kind of track all these logistical problems in the country. But uh just want to run through some of the ones we talked about last time school bus shortage of course continuing in ohio massachusetts has gotten a lot worse of course we also have the water shortage out west which has become a problem. Although that will probably alleviate itself like i keep mentioning with the precipitation this winter we have the microchip shortage that's impacting auto manufacturers most auto manufacturers are either canceling outright uh this year's model of car or they are not able to provide them uh whatsoever so huge problem that will can that will continue to be a problem for the next at least two years that's what most people are predicting also texas is liquor shortage seems to still be in play. Although i'm really not sure as to the extent of it it seems like it's a pretty severe problem but again you're not really going to be able to logistically check out every liquor store in texas it's kind of a hard thing to do. But new for this cycle we have michigan so michigan is reporting they have problems with snow plow and salt truck drivers they're having a driver shortage of those vehicles so again the trucking shortage that we've been talking about for months now has uh is it's upon us again with the winter season because you have to have uh certain drivers that are trained to drive snow plows and salt trucks so again that's going to be a huge problem for the northern states so far i've only seen problems in michigan. But i am sure that other states like wisconsin minnesota you know in new york maine all those you know places like that they get really a heavy snowfall and and really use a lot of their snow plows in the winter time are going to have some some pretty big problems with uh workers not being there to plow the roads also this cycle we have in montana uh that we've seen several local news agencies reporting uh tire shortages so as people move into the winter time they try to get new tires and it's uh there's a tire shortage apparently so a lot of a lot of tire shops and mechanics are actually reporting that they have a several month wait time for new tires so i'm sure this is not just a problem with montana. But a problem nationwide because a lot of our tires are imported a lot are made here but a lot of them are imported as well and if the demand spikes in any one area you're going to have a shortage no matter what so that's going to be a huge problem as we move into the winter and also california so california this this story is kind of a kind of a disclaimer for it is the only source i've been able to find for it is a mainstream media source so take it for what it's worth. But california reportedly allegedly has a glass shortage at least in the san francisco area now the article itself was kind of hilarious because clearly the person who wrote it wanted to talk about the glass shortage and and how like logistics are a problem. But what they ended up doing was admitting that so many people are having their cars broken into in san francisco that there's now a shortage of replacement car windows so i thought that was kind of hilarious that they ended up wanting to talk about one issue. But ended up kind of highlighting another problem which is crime so that's interesting to note and then. Finally a brief note i have here is to talk about is that there appears to be a shortage of diesel exhaust fluids so for those of you that don't know uh this is something that the uh federal administration kind of came up with uh again to kind of um prevent emissions really it's just kind of a it's it's an issue all on its own uh people that are in the trucking industry and the diesel vehicle game uh know a lot more about this uh so you can research it on your own uh just kind of the travesty that is this thing called diesel exhaust fluid or diesel emissions fluid depending on which which acronym we want to go with. But def shortages appear to be quite rampant in some areas and they are required to even start up a lot of diesel vehicles so a lot of diesel manufacturers are required to purposefully impact their vehicles and make it so the vehicle won't even turn on unless you have a full tank of diesel exhaust fluid so something to keep in mind i'm sure that the trucking industry already knows about this a lot you know a lot more than we do. But i just wanted to point it out for those of you who who don't uh don't drive diesel vehicles and before we jump into the critical updates and significant governmental action slide there's something that i wanted to talk about very briefly uh because this is kind of a big deal at this point and that is the actual mandates themselves so we throw around this this word mandate and i don't think a lot of people understand what's going on so i myself certainly don't understand what's going on to a certain degree. But i think i've got kind of a general understanding of what's going on and i wanted to point out there's a very clear distinction with what this this mandate stuff is so a lot of people are talking about this particular mandate right the one they hear that they hear it on all the mainstream media about how every private company with 100 or more employees must get uh every employee to get the jab right or or else they're going to be fined or something right some ambiguous threat against them right well this this uh mandate is actually this is this is just a press release there is no actual there's nothing in writing right now either from osha or from anybody else from there's no executive order that talks about every private companies with 100 or more employees there is nothing in writing with this that we could find so yeah that's that's kind of the thing there now here's the deal a lot of conservative news media sites and i say conservative because it's really only them talking about this is they will say that oh there are no mandates whatsoever there's nothing that's just a press release well that's not actually true there is a mandate and that is the federal contractor mandate now this is this one is actually in writing you can look it up yourself it is executive order one four zero four three and it actually has an enforcement arm the inside that executive order uh that's the safer federal workforce task force that's the enforcement arm for this executive order now what that means i don't know i don't think that it has any actual enforcement capability whatsoever. But you can read the eo yourself and it quite clearly states that federal contractors must be jabbed this is the one that's in writing this one is an executive order again it is not an actual law in fact you will see this phrase quote as required by law at pretty on pretty much every line of this executive order so again it's ambiguous. But there is a document a piece of paper that states that there is a mandate in place and that is executive order 14043. Now what does this actually mean well you have to remember federal contractors means any company that holds federal contracts now again this is very ambiguous you can read the executive order yourself and talk about okay well what does this really apply to federal contractors or not nobody really knows right we need somebody needs to interpret this executive order because it's very ambiguous so you could argue that executive order 14043 technically doesn't talk about federal contractors being mandated um. But yeah i would say that it's it's pretty it's pretty clear the executive order read it yourself it's it's pretty uh pretty clear um at least to me and as far as what a court would say now we have to remember what does federal contractor mean well that means all of these people right all of these industries that hold federal contracts and as you can see it's kind of a lot of industries that's why if you were to see airlines right like all the the airline pilots being mandated to get the jab well that's because the airline companies hold contracts with the federal government which is then tied to eo140 you see how that works so that's that's why it's not the airlines are not being mandated because they're a private company and the you know the 100 or more employees right that they're not being mandated because of that they're being mandated because the executive order because they are a federal contractor so again this is not a perfect explanation. But hopefully this kind of shows like where the lines how how people are the drawing these logistical lines back to some kind of piece of paper right that says that these mandates do exist so again it's very complicated and one can argue that this isn't even real because none of this is actual law right and again. However you have to put that caveat on it none of this is law maybe we don't really know right this incident is really causing us to try to work out what the idea of of a law actually is and a lot of times this is bringing up questions so i just wrote down three questions that i kind of had with regards to what this stuff is and the first one is if a president makes a verbal statement i. E a press release is that an executive order historically no you have to write it down you have to sign it you have to record it with a federal register right. But this is exactly what's happening in a lot of cases a lot of companies are looking at the biden regime's 100 person you know or else mandate and saying okay well that's our out now now now we have an excuse to implement our own policies. Even though there's nothing in writing right and then you have some other companies that are like well yeah we have more than 100 employees but the reason that we have to ban or or mandate this stuff is not because of the 100 person mandate. But because we're a federal contractor right so we've got this weird interesting dynamic going on right a lot of companies want to have that out they they they're very eager to use the just following orders excuse they want to have somebody else take the fall for their own company mandates and for a lot of companies a press release you know by the regime that's enough for them to say okay that's an executive order biden saying something behind it you know reading something off a teleprompter that's an executive command so now we have to go with it now again what does all this mean well a court's got a rule on it right so again very tough legal questions that are being asked that honestly in years past all this stuff would have been thrown out because you know the court would not have gone this far. But these days look at what's going on and that leads us to the second question if the supreme court does not take up a case does that grant de facto approval again historically and if you look back at this stuff that's that's happened in our history no of course not the supreme court not willing to take up a case does not mean that that case gets approval right. But in a lot of cases this is exactly what's happening or at least it appears to be so we're in this wishy-washy area where we're really not sure nobody is nobody's saying not to do something. But nobody's also saying to do it as well so it's again really ambiguous really confusing and i think this really leads to the third question which is a very large question that i myself and none of the other staff here even hope to have an answer for. But that question is if something is clearly written in the constitution but no court will uphold the constitution even if we somehow manage to reverse the wave of authoritarianism that we are experiencing will our constitution still be able to stand. In other words if our constitution allowed this to happen in the first place if it allowed the exact thing it was written to prevent such as tyranny and totalitarianism will it even have any value when the authoritarian regime collapses and man that that's a question that i don't have the answer to i don't think anybody has the answer to. But it's something that we're definitely thinking about and it really does kind of matter when we talk about these kinds of mandates and stuff so i wanted to talk about this really briefly right up front to kind of set the tone for these next few slides so moving into critical infrastructure updates again the really the one that this happened a few days ago. But the abiding regime has begun fining lingering containers uh per container per day for every container that's that's stuck waiting in line so this is kind of again this is like trying to buy your way out of debt it doesn't really work like that the biden regime is if not directly responsible a huge heavy invisible hand that is causing these uh logistical backups particularly the ones in the ports uh the port congestion right if the body regime is not directly responsible for they're like responsible for 80 percent of that problem and due to the problem they caused they are now going to slap a fine on top of that which again exacerbates a problem so it's like guys you created the problem and now you're finding people for the problem that you created you know it's it's it's backwards and i think that again nothing that this regime does would really surprise me. However i do find it interesting that they clearly somebody in the white house thinks that this might be somewhat of an interesting solution and i think that that kind of shows how little thought is actually going into the economy up there in washington because it this this solution would have been laughed at like it would have been openly mocked in any sort of committee in congress and openly mocked by both parties ridiculously um by just a few years ago. But now it's like oh it's a good solution well how in what universe would that ever be a solution find the people that that are that are stuck waiting in line and you're the one who put them in the line like you know it doesn't really make any sense right. And then secondly moving on switching topics considerably the nra was hit with a ransomware attack no surprise there ransomware attacks have become kind of a staple again we've talked a lot about ransomware attacks in the past there's really not more to add on this considering i haven't seen very much from the nra um don't tend to follow the nra so much you know for obvious reasons. But you know i just wanted to point out that they did get hacked and most likely private information was compromised uh and then thirdly like i mentioned these mandate walkouts are becoming a huge deal um particularly in new york new york has gotten the most press uh because the nypd the new york fire department those guys have they've had a lot of walkouts a lot of people call in sick all kinds of things like that and it's going to be a very interesting time for particularly new york. But really any major city because as we learned once something hits the press and it has happening in one city it tends to happen in other cities so we'll see how many other major cities are going to be faced with the same thing chicago is also being impacted by these mandate walkouts as we as we learned last week they're even threatening to use the national guard to come in. But there's more to more to the story than that as we'll talk about here in just a second and then likewise number four there this is kind of a funny one the airline pilot walkouts continue to occur american airlines is the latest company uh that has been kind of hit with these uh rogue pilots uh actually somebody recorded um i can't play it here obviously due to youtube's policies. But somebody recorded audio and uh they've been people have been listening to pilots transmitting uh the phrase lgb right on uh the guard frequency so on the on the aircraft emergency frequency of 121.5 people have been observed or pilots have been uh heard uh saying that phrase uh right as they sign off um and walk out so i thought that was kind of hilarious that that it's it's now it's now a huge thing in the airline community. And then likewise the american trucking association they've kind of come out of the woodwork and and said that they've indicated that they're they're willing to uh consider dropping federal contracts rather than impose mandates now again the american trucking association has not said this that's what they're going to do they've come out and they're kind of like dipping their toe into the water and kind of fielding that as a topic of conversation in the media they've come out and said that hey several of our you know our members are talking about dropping these federal contracts and just kind of dealing with the the financial loss of that rather than impose these mandates and have all of our employees and our drivers walk off the job so again very interesting stuff very interesting times we see uh. Moving forward but we'll talk more about this stuff in just a minute so let's move right into significant governmental actions and the first one of which is osha so osha has been in the press kind of a lot lately. But this is one that we pulled directly from their website they actually have a frequently asked questions page when it comes to these mandates and this is a screenshot of course censored for youtube. But this is a screenshot of their web page and as you can see they are quote osha does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving the blank blank right. But and it also does not wish to de-incentivize employers blank efforts. As a result osha will not enforce 29 cfr 1904's recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from the blank blank at least through may of next year so that's interesting osha is now openly concealing adverse reactions to the the the blank right so i think that's kind of interesting there there it's it's it's you cannot be any more open than this why would they want why would they try to do this unless they're trying to cover something up so i thought that was kind of interesting uh to highlight that osha is definitely doing this and it's very interesting very interesting times ahead right and like i mentioned uh or sort of alluded to before the biden regime is kind of there like i mentioned last briefing they are uh they're getting what they wish for and i don't think they want it um because they're starting to backpedal a little bit right the regime is like signal that they're extending the deadlines that really didn't exist in the first place they're you know they're quietly removing deadlines they're just kind of like softly backing away from this because they dug themselves into such a hole and they've been doubling down this entire time that they're kind of softly backing away. However at the same time they're also doubling down so in some areas they're backing off like with the airlines they're they're kind of backing off from that. But they're also doubling down in other areas but it's really such a hard thing to explain because the coercion is no longer working anymore we're starting to see the the power of coercing people into getting the jab that that is is waning quite significantly so they're going to have to resort to force if they want to get this stuff through and in a lot of areas they can't the us government does not have the ability to force a lot of this stuff. Even if they wanted to they they don't have the numbers of people on their side to to force really anything honestly but they can get some of the top uh top people so they're going now with more serious threats more serious uh fines and things like that. But again we'll talk more about that in just a minute and then. Moving on to number three there number three is the uh not family friendly uh news item for today i say news item because there's really not much intel value there it just kind of points out um the a lot of the uh the stuff that's going on in the public school system which we'll talk about there on point six so i don't want to get too deep into the weeds with this i just wanted to point it out that it happened and that this quote that's on screen actually was said by a former president of the united states in with in response to this situation um yeah i i i really hesitate to even bring it up. But because it doesn't really have any intel value that really honestly but it is something that is it's it's an issue and a lot of people who have kids in public school i think probably would would like to know that this occurred so you can read more uh more on this situation that occurred in virginia or really on the edge of virginia and dc it's been all over a lot of the news sites so yeah you can dig more into that i i don't really know how much of this is true uh the story itself um. But i just wanted to point out that hey hey this occurs this is one of those like hey hey go research it more type things also number four there again another one of those hey go research this more thing rutgers university we've got uh professors now openly calling for quote taking out uh people of a certain racial demographic and that's uh that's not good obviously so as we can see the rhetoric is allowed to continue anymore man like i don't know about anybody else. But even just a few years ago like uh i remember when if anybody made a vaguely threatening like youtube comment they got you know reported to you know the police or something like that and and they had to answer questions like you post something threatening on a facebook page in some group and you get a knock on your door. But you know these professors in a lot of universities are allowed to openly talk about this rhetoric and again we've we've talked about the power of rhetoric a lot before in previous podcasts and things like that so yeah definitely something to look into because dehumanization is definitely a huge talking point for a lot of people these days so just wanted to point that out then again uh number five there at t um you know they're they're going down the road of uh uh the you know promoting crt very interesting that a lot of companies are going down that road i can't foresee why other than just you know woke-ism is is rampant. And then number six there again um for lack of a better i'm just going to call this public school degeneracy because we've had a lot of it we've had a lot of incidents in public schools lately again people who have kids in public schools know this of course a lot a lot better than we do. But like it's become a pretty big issue like in hazard kentucky there you know having high school students engage in you know cross-dressing and exotic dancing for school administrators during a homecoming event i can't think in what world that would be appropriate or or even something that does not result in the police showing up and handcuffs going on some school administrators instantly. But again since it happened in the school system like we excuse it right so i guess that's kind of the way that goes for now but again a lot of these points you know points three four five and six really don't have a whole lot of particular intel value is as far as koas and you know courses of action going forward. But it's just like hey look man our education system is is is beyond failing at this point and we need to start figuring out what we need to do with regards to you know how to move forward in this troubling time of public school education right so i did just want to put those points on there because i think it's worth talking about. Even though i myself don't have any any hope of a solution for it just yet but again like i mentioned last time just because we don't have a solution for something does not mean that we can ignore the problem so we're not ignoring the problem wanted to put it up there and show everybody what's going on so let's go back into talking about these mandates for a bit so so hopefully like the past couple of slides have shown the impact of a company canceling their federal contracts and of course not having as much funding to move forward because of that that can still have quite an impact and let's talk about the actual impact that it can have for instance firearms manufacturers they're the ones who literally have military weapons contracts like i mean there you go. And then also you've got other things too like as we all know from the past few months sig that the sig p320 has had some significant problems with their massive government contract and who's going to fix those problems you know it's going to have to be sig again a private company so-called private company right again similar situation with ammunition manufacturers if they decide to not make ammunition or if they get shut down by the federal government because they didn't go along with a mandate where's the dod going to get that ammunition that they need right again a very important impact auto companies again who builds the vehicles used by for federal agencies you know it's not exactly the federal government doing this it's got to be a private company making these same thing with the tires tire manufacturers even the tires made for the president's limousine the beast are made by a private company goodyear so again you know if the government wants to wants to play this game i don't think they want the result right tech companies again can he can the average person the average prepared citizen survive without the internet or with any kind of technical system maybe maybe not i would argue probably no i would say most most citizens probably can't survive without the internet, but can the u. S government survive without the internet absolutely not there is no way they can survive without the internet uh whatsoever so that's how they maintain their control of everything so again huge impact food service industry you might not think of that as being quite significant. But again who feeds the troops on us bases you know it's usually some kind of contracting company if the defact workers suddenly don't show up to work well where troops going to eat you know you know again the fast food restaurants on all military bases they're run they have their federal contract they're like actual fast food you know private companies right you know also who runs literally who runs a congressional uh cafeteria canteen whatever whatever you want to call it like literally where do congressmen go to lunch you know or their at least their aides and their staff workers well you know it's certainly a private company who has a contract with the federal government another one landscaping companies you might not think of landscaping companies as being a critical industry. But who maintains airstrips you know the who mows the the grass in between taxiways and things like that again it might not be such an issue for for things like paved runways and things like that. But what about smaller airstrips right what about the the training zones like paratrooper drop zones and things like that staging areas training areas on military bases a lot of times those have to be conducted in fields or in large open spaces that have to be mowed and if they're not mowed you know can training be conducted well i'm sure it can. But again it just provides another problem that the government has to deal with another more severe severe one is security zones and fields of observation you know the landscaping in a lot of federal agencies is kept at a very specific level because it has to abide by things like uh security camera fields of vision and things like that even things like the temporary helipad for marine one like who mows the lawn at the white house you know i'm pretty sure it's not a military service member it's got to be some kind of federal contractor that has you know of course a very high clearance. But still like it's going to be some dude on a lawn mower right construction companies similar situation who fixes the toilets in the white house like maintenance and construction is a huge thing in in a lot of places and i say you know the white house specifically because there's this kind of atmosphere that the the the the elites of the country and the white house and congress can isolate themselves right they can put up fences around themselves and isolate themselves from the american people so that when the american people try to question them or call them on their actions they physically can't get close enough to actually do anything right well guess what who put up that fence i'm pretty sure it wasn't members of congress sitting out there with you know uh hammers and wrenches and things putting up these fences it was a contracting company well what if that company said that they're not going to put the fence up well who they got to get another company well what if that company doesn't say they're going to put the fence up do you see that the power uh the word no has when it comes to federal contracting is very significant same thing with airlines airlines are in a unique situation. But in which they are very heavily regulated by of course the faa. However and of course you know the president and most other politicians have their own private transportation that's that's all you know you know cared for and things like that. But here's the deal what about the tens of thousands of other people that are needed to enforce whatever the potus and senior politicians mandate you see like you can't afford to put all of their underlings on a private jet it just doesn't work like that and if the airlines are down you know how is that going to work out for them same thing for public utilities right you know the white house in congress of course they have backups for generators and things like that to make sure the power never goes out. But here's the deal what about the literally thousands of other staff offices and other agencies in just around the washington area that are needed for the government to function right they think they can isolate themselves. But clearly they can't and finally rail like we talk about the trucking shortages and things like that man like okay the trucking shortage is bad enough you know truck drivers saying you know no and not no. But hell no and they're walking off the job because of a medical mandate or something like that that's bad enough as is that can a country right there. But here's the thing what about rail like last time i checked you know most if not all armored vehicles are transported around the country by rail so it's it's a it's almost like a national defense issue at this point you can't move your tanks around because there's no locomotive conductors to actually drive the train right. And then also things like coal oil natural gas yeah sure a lot of these go by you know pipeline and things like that but a lot of it doesn't a lot of a lot of oil in this country is transported by rail and the same thing with natural gas and stuff like that so again it all comes back to the theme of the the biden regime or or whatever regime that you want to call it they are they're they're doing these mandate things they're they're backing off in some areas because they realize they're up against a brick wall. But they're doubling down in other areas um with the threats and things like that um but it's clear that i i don't think that they're going to that i don't think they want what i don't think they they don't want what they think they want and it's clear that a lot of the uh a lot of the country can seriously stop this if they wanted to just by simply saying no to federal contracts so it's going to be interesting to see how this all works out and it's definitely going to be something to keep an eye on because and that's why preparedness is such an issue because you want to be more prepared than the government is right if if the go if if the government says you know your local electricity your local power generation co-op if if it mandates those workers to get you know the jab and those workers walk out and there's nobody to fix you know uh power down power lines we are coming into the winter season where you know power lines go down all the time. But if they don't have workers to do that you need to be able to function in an environment without electricity without heating things like that again something that most americans can't do. But also it's a time where i would think that mo more americans than ever before are capable of of uh playing this game of chicken and that's really what it is so i guess we'll have to see how this game of chicken goes on because it looks like it's going to turn out in the favor of the american people i don't want to be too too optimistic. But but man even just the the small example of industries that i have on the slide here this is like one of a hundred i could think of you know slides on this topic just looking at these industries man you can a government like this very very easily and this slide shows that you can see how every company that has a federal contract actually has the upper hand these companies can hurt the government more than the government can hurt them and the best part about all of this is that it won't really affect the citizenry that much um if an office supply distributed let's just say an office to an office supply distributor were to cancel their contract with the federal government to provide you know like pens and and copier paper right that would impact the government. But that company can still sell their products to the citizenry right now sure at some point there will be something that uh if the federal contract was canceled it would also affect the citizenry i'm thinking things like national defense stuff. But but right now the disconnect between government and the people right is so great and the bureaucracy is so bloated that you could probably cancel 90 of all federal contracts and the citizenry would not be affected hardly at all and it gets even better actually because a lot of these companies are being forced into canceling their contracts by their workers a you know a company has a company has a couple of choices either enforce the mandates or not enforce the mandates and if they enforce the mandates a significant portion of their workforce will leave as evidenced by the recent wave of walkouts maybe not enough to matter in a lot of cases. But as we are clearly seeing enough people are rising up to hurt the company's bottom line surprising i know i would not have expected this level of resistance at this stage. But anyway so a company can either enforce the mandates and have their workforce walk out which will result in them not being able to fulfill the federal contract. Anyway or they could cancel the federal contract keep their workforce and bid for new contracts with like state level government or even just a civilian market this of course is an oversimplification of the issue and a lot of other things can happen like like with southwest airlines they backtracked on enforcing their mandate. But they are still keeping their government contracts so the ball is in the federal government's court they could the government could crack down and say that southwest is in violation of the executive order they could do that and cancel the contract or find southwest or whatever. But clearly the government needs southwest airlines more than southwest airlines needs the government couple this with every airline not forgetting how poorly they were treated when it came to the government bailouts last year and the biden regime starting to realize that they are that they've royally screwed up and they are now being forced to backtrack in some industries like the airlines well from this we can see that the resistance is working in a lot of areas so i guess more to come on that front. But this grand game of chicken that that's going on is is very interesting to watch and um it's definitely a definitely a good idea to prepare for the the the eventuality that some company or some contracting company will just say nope and not providing the services to the government if that if ends up affecting you in some way that would be a good idea to be aware of and quickly wrapping up today's brief let's talk about the military deployments that have been going on around the country so uh up in the northeast region really not a whole lot of updates massachusetts is still doing their thing new york is still doing their thing no real major update there same in the southeast no major update we're seeing his forces move around a little bit so hopefully we will be able to get some updated numbers um. But for right now there's really nothing more i've got on this one this is really the only update i've got for this slide is um that the illinois deployment is most likely not going to happen thank goodness right as i mentioned last last time the illinois governor threatened to deploy the national guard in a domestic policing occupation force in the event that the chicago police department they had they had a lot of officers walk off the job due to the mandates. However right now it looks like that deployment is is kind of on hold and probably not going to occur just yet because a judge just recently put a hold on chicago's police jab mandate so a judge said that the mayor the governor whoever cannot mandate chicago police officers to get the mandate uh just yet so uh that's that's something that's you know it's good news for you know obviously anybody in the area. But uh yeah something to keep an eye on i just wanted to point that out that you know it looks like that situation is going to simmer down. But i just wanted to leave it on the slide to kind of talk about it for just a little bit and then moving into the southwest again no real major updates here other than we're seeing a lot more troops be deployed i don't have good numbers i know that we've had the same numbers on the slide for gosh a couple weeks now and there's really no update from meyer and. Although we do know that more troops are moving into the area we'll get back to you and provide a better uh situational understanding of what's going on at the border. But again border situation heating up uh in in just in general and then of course out west really no major change there are organs drawing down montana and wyoming i still have some troops stationed at local area hospitals doing all kinds of menial taskings and things like that. And then for the school attendance mask mandate it's really no major update here so i'm just going to skip past it also no update to the jab mandates. Though again i know i keep pointing out but i just wanted to highlight again that we are seeing even more resistance in california from parents who don't want uh don't want this to go forward. And then overall the medical resistance tracker really no change from last brief it's just kind of kind of status quo right because there haven't been really anything in writing now i'm sure this slide will change quite significantly because we're seeing a little bit of chatter in kind of the social media sphere that the biden regime is going to come out with some new mandates for private businesses within the next few days or weeks we there's literally nothing on on uh that we can do about it until they do something so we'll see how that plays out um again i it's one of those weird situations where you've got the biden regime kind of backing down from the airlines because they realize how important the airlines are and the fact that they can't really enforce the the mandates on the airlines. However you might have them also double down and come out with mandates for private companies that they just kind of hope will stick right that's kind of the biden's approach uh the binding regime's approach to a lot of this stuff is just see what sticks uh when it comes to the mandate so i guess we'll we'll see how that goes and finishing things up on the international relations front i went ahead and uh removed the animations from this slide just to see what it would look like may go back to it maybe not who knows. But as far as international issues goes russia there are quite high tensions between the united states and russia right now it's really nothing nothing too severe but relations between russia and the united states are are worsening with various diplomats being recalled from each other's country and things like that so really not a great time uh for the the international diplomacy between the united states and russia and this is due to a variety of factors everything from uh the strategic arms limitations talks and the you know nuclear test ban treaty stuff they were talking about a few months ago that really nobody cared about um and all kinds of stuff were to do with china and the eu and brexit it's it's little things that kind of add up all over the place and of course the united states relations with pretty much every nation on earth are are pretty severe right now like the united states uh relations between the us and the united kingdom man they're really poor right now same thing with australia you know iran pretty much any country you can think of the united states has really poor relations with right now unfortunately a lot of these countries that we have poor relations with are our allies like you know or close to our allies like france right so not a good situation for the united states right now um. But also you know russia is uh they're doing russian things right so. Moving on to australia and new zealand is kind of a two for one there australia and new zealand have have really jumped and jumped headlong into full-on totalitarianism at this point like not even from an american's perspective because honestly even before all of this stuff happened like before you know the the pandemic stuff you know an average american might look at australia's laws or new zealand's laws and they might say you know what that's a little bit draconian right um. But just taking that and taking that out of the equation right looking at the pers looking from the perspective of australia and new zealand's you know unique history as in australian or new zealander things are getting kind of insane at this point like that the new zealand government is openly creating a caste system of jabbed and unjabbed uh with resources going to the jabbed and the unjabbed basically being shunned from society and they're publicly admitting to this like it's crazy and australia really honestly in australia the situation is kind of unique because all the stuff that we're seeing all the bad stuff we're coming seeing coming out of australia is mostly just the states of victoria and new south wales now i'm sure this is occurring in other states as well. But um australia as a whole right especially victoria new south wales are really not far behind from new zealand's kind of man crazy stuff going on also like i mentioned china there's a lot more talk about china's hypersonic nukes they've done a lot of new testing of new systems allegedly that are probably not new so again we've got a separate video on that. But yeah china is still still a pretty big factor and it's very interesting that the united states has a lot of domestic issues. At the same time that china is definitely a rising power in the strategic defense game and. Finally germany is uh forming a new government angela merkel's party loss merkel is out and uh they are going to be forming a new transit transitionary government uh to take over and we'll see how that goes because uh uh the the merkel's parties had kind of a hard time of the past few years. But they've also held power for a very long time so uh the times they are changing and i guess we'll see how that works out for the stability of europe and really the you know the eu as a whole i guess so that's really all i have for today again thank you all for your support um it really does help us move forward into a lot of more of our uh more educational videos that we've got coming up so hopefully i will have those out pretty soon. But again thank you to everyone who supports us and here are your sources for today there's slide one slide two slide three and slide four so as always all of these slides will be available in pdf form on our odyssey page right alongside this video so if you don't like youtube if you don't like what youtube is doing all of our videos is the very second they go live on youtube they uh pop up on odyssey as well so if you prefer to watch on odyssey go for it we just you know we get a much larger reach on youtube so unfortunately we have to kind of sit here for the time being. But we also publish things on odyssey as well so just wanted to point that out so thank you again everyone for watching and this has been kind of a really fast paced a lot of stuff going on in this briefing today.
