By now you’ve seen the pattern across this series. Every vector—health, military readiness, infrastructure, borders, division, currency warfare—feeds the same goal: weaken America from within so she can’t fight back when the real pressure comes. Today we’re looking at events and groupings of events that carry massive military value, direct implications for logistics, fuel supply, food security, water security, and force projection. These aren’t random accidents or “market forces.” They’re vulnerabilities being probed, exploited, and widened.

This is 5th Generation Warfare in action: cheap, deniable, persistent attacks on the systems that keep our military mobile, our population fed and hydrated, and our economy from collapsing under its own weight. Let’s get right to it.

The Sinaloa Cartel’s Offensive Footprint Inside the United States

The Sinaloa Cartel isn’t just smuggling anymore. They’re operating with the confidence of a hybrid threat actor that has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department in February 2025 alongside CJNG and others.

We’re seeing bounties originating from Mexico on U.S. ICE and CBP officers—$2,000 for intel/doxxing, escalating to $10,000 for assassinations—disseminated through domestic networks and street gangs in places like Chicago. The DEA’s 2024 National Drug Threat Assessment already documented Sinaloa and Jalisco networks embedded in every single U.S. state, controlling fentanyl, meth, and distribution from major cities to rural areas.

This isn’t “crime.” This is offensive capability projection. Cartels now have the infrastructure to disrupt ports, rail hubs, and supply lines that feed military bases and civilian logistics alike. When you control the flow of poisons that kill 100,000+ Americans yearly while simultaneously running extortion, human smuggling, and potential sabotage cells, you hold real leverage in any kinetic escalation.

Pipeline Disruptions and Energy Chokepoints

Energy infrastructure is the lifeblood of modern warfare. Without reliable fuel, tanks don’t roll, planes don’t fly, and the grid that powers everything from data centers to command posts goes dark.Recent incidents show the fragility:

• April 8, 2025: Keystone Pipeline rupture in North Dakota spilled ~147,000 gallons of Canadian crude, forcing a full shutdown of a line that moves 624,000 barrels per day.

• February 3, 2026: Delfin LNG pipeline rupture and explosion in Cameron Parish, Louisiana injured a worker and shut down critical export infrastructure.

Broader trend: PHMSA data shows pipeline incidents averaging around 1.7 per day since 2010.

These aren’t one-offs. They compound with aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and the very real risk of targeted sabotage (physical or cyber). A rival doesn’t need to blow up every pipeline—they just need to keep the system bleeding so repair crews and capital are constantly diverted.

Refinery Damage, Fires, and the California Shutdown Wave – Refiners Now Openly Threatening to Leave

Refineries are high-value, low-redundancy targets. Hit them and you create immediate fuel shortages that ripple to military aviation, ground transport, and civilian supply chains.

2025 saw at least nine significant U.S. refinery fires/explosions, including the October 2–3 Chevron El Segundo jet fuel unit fire that sent plumes visible for miles and injured a worker. But the real story right now is California, where refiners are no longer just dealing with fires or “accidents”—they’re openly threatening to pull up stakes and leave the state entirely.

Phillips 66 completed the shutdown of its massive Los Angeles-area refinery (Wilmington/Carson complex, ~139,000 bpd) in December 2025.

Valero has given formal notice that it will cease operations at its 145,000-bpd Benicia refinery by the end of April 2026.

That’s already ~17% of California’s total refining capacity gone in under a year, with Valero explicitly citing California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations, skyrocketing compliance costs, and an unworkable business environment as the drivers. The Benicia facility has been a major supplier of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel for the Bay Area and beyond; its closure will force even greater reliance on imports and out-of-state product, driving prices higher and creating new chokepoints in West Coast fuel distribution.Now the threats are getting louder and more explicit. In March 2026, Chevron fired off a letter to Governor Newsom and state leaders warning that proposed changes to California’s Cap-and-Invest program (pushed by CARB) would “cripple the survivability of the state’s remaining refineries” and result in California “losing the entire industry.”

Chevron specifically called out the national security angle—California refineries supply aviation fuel and other products critical to more than 30 military installations and Pacific operations. Lose them and the West Coast becomes dangerously reliant on imported fuel that’s slower to arrive and far more vulnerable to global disruptions.

This isn’t subtle. These are major operators with deep roots in the state telling regulators they’re one policy away from walking. The result? Higher prices, less domestic refining capacity, and a military logistics chain on the West Coast that’s one more “incident” away from serious trouble. Classic Target Softening: create the conditions where America’s own policies finish the job that sabotage or accidents started.

Nebraska Farmland Fires – Over One Million Acres Scorched

In March 2026, Nebraska (and surrounding states) suffered record wildfires. The Morrill Fire alone burned over 640,000 acres; combined events pushed the regional total past 1 million acres of prime grazing and ranch land.

This isn’t just “bad weather.” The Sandhills region—critical cattle grazing land—now looks like a desert. Tens of thousands of cattle displaced, feed stocks destroyed, fencing gone. Ranchers are selling off herds or scrambling for alternative pasture while the ecosystem recovery timeline stretches years.

Food security is national security. Destroy domestic protein production capacity and you force reliance on imports (vulnerable to the same cartel/foreign actors already embedded in our supply chains).

Foreign Farmland Control, Cyber Pre-Positioning, Communications Sabotage, and Water Infrastructure – The Ultimate Chokepoint

USDA data and the Farm Security Action Plan highlight 277,000+ acres of U.S. agricultural land under foreign adversary-linked control—much of it clustered near military installations. Worthy of note here is that the official webpage for the Farm Security Action Plan was not accessible at the time of writing—this is curious, and worthy of keeping an eye out for conspicuous developments, especially changes or shifts from the initial narrative. Each acre is a potential surveillance platform, sabotage site, or agroterrorism launchpad.

Simultaneously, nation-state actors (PRC Volt Typhoon and others) have pre-positioned inside U.S. critical infrastructure—energy, pipelines, grid—for disruptive attacks in a crisis.

And we’re seeing a massive surge in physical sabotage of communications infrastructure.

Water Infrastructure – The Silent Killer

Water is life. Control the water and you control the population, the farms, the bases, and the ability to fight. Recent events show this vector is being actively probed and widened.

In January 2026, a catastrophic collapse of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line in Maryland sent over 200 million gallons of raw, untreated sewage into the Potomac River—right upstream from the nation’s capital. This wasn’t a small spill. It created a major environmental and public health crisis, forcing beach closures, fishing bans, and highlighting how fragile our wastewater systems truly are near critical population centers and government infrastructure.

On the cyber front, March 2026 brought another direct hit: ransomware slammed the Minot, North Dakota Water Treatment Plant’s SCADA system. Operators were forced to run manual operations for 16 hours while they isolated the attack. The water stayed safe this time, but the message was clear—our treatment plants are reachable and manipulable.

The EPA itself admitted in early 2026 that it identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities in 277 water systems throughout 2025, many involving weak authentication, exposed remote access, and legacy SCADA/PLC systems that control chemical dosing, pumps, and filtration.

These are the exact systems nation-state actors (China’s Volt Typhoon, Iran-linked groups) have been pre-positioning inside for years.

Add in the growing evidence from satellite data showing major dams across the country experiencing subsidence and differential settlement—with structures like Texas’ Livingston Dam sinking at rates up to 8 mm per year in sections. Aging infrastructure plus deliberate neglect equals easy future failure points during a crisis.

Logistical Means – Trucking, Maritime, Rail, and Air Cargo: 5GW Tactics in Action

The lifeblood of modern warfare and civilian resilience isn’t just fuel or water—it’s the ability to move it. Our logistical networks are being stressed, sabotaged, and eroded at every level, and this is textbook 5GW.

In 5GW, you don’t need spectacular kinetic strikes to win. You create constant, compounding friction that erodes capacity, predictability, and speed until the system collapses under its own weight. Adversaries probe and widen vulnerabilities in trucking, maritime shipping, railways, and air cargo because these are the arteries that feed military sustainment, food distribution, and economic resilience.

Trucking faces a driver shortage with projections topping 170,000 by late 2026, while cargo theft exploded 16% year-over-year. Maritime shipping saw cyber incidents surge 150% in 2025—ransomware locking down terminals and GPS spoofing disrupting vessels—on top of ongoing port congestion and Hormuz-related rerouting.

Railways recorded hundreds of derailments in 2025—though FRA data confirms 2025 was the safest year on record for the rail industry, with the overall train accident rate down 14% and derailments down 13.6% year-over-year—with persistent cyber warnings on brake and signaling systems due to vulnerability CVE-2025-1727.

Air cargo dealt with weather backlogs, trade-policy volatility, and Middle East conflict disruptions causing cancellations and capacity crunches.Here’s how pure 5GW logistics tactics play out:

• Cyber pre-positioning for crisis denial: Nation-state actors embed deep in port terminal operating systems, rail signaling networks, trucking dispatch platforms, and air cargo management software. The goal isn’t immediate theft or destruction—it’s to be able to flip the switch when tensions rise, delaying military shipments, medical supplies, or fuel without ever crossing into open war.

• Persistent low-level degradation: A steady drumbeat of “accidents,” thefts, ransomware hits, and GPS jamming creates cumulative drag. Insurance premiums skyrocket, carriers exit the market, and the entire system runs on reduced redundancy. No single event makes headlines, but together they starve the pipeline of capacity.

• Economic coercion and proxy exploitation: Labor disputes, regulatory pressure, or cartel infiltration slow ports, rail yards, and trucking hubs. What looks like normal economic pain is actually strategic bottlenecking—turning legitimate grievances into tools that grind logistics to a halt.

• Information and ambiguity operations: Every minor disruption gets amplified through influence networks to create panic and force planners into defensive “what-if” mode. Resources that should go to readiness get diverted to contingency planning that may never be needed.

These tactics are deniable, cheap, and relentless. The result? A military that cannot rapidly project or sustain power, and a civilian population that feels the squeeze in higher prices, empty shelves, and delayed everything. This is contested logistics in the 5GW era—erosion instead of explosion.

Farmers and Ranchers

Farmers and ranchers are the ultimate soft target in this campaign. Fuel costs have spiked hard—diesel hitting elevated levels amid Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions—directly hammering tractor, irrigation, and transport expenses. Fertilizer prices have jumped sharply from the same supply shocks, forcing tough planting decisions right in the middle of spring. Grain and crop prices remain depressed, delivering negative or razor-thin margins. The result? Accelerating farm losses, herd sell-offs, and bankruptcies that erode domestic food production capacity and force greater reliance on vulnerable imports.

This isn’t coincidence. Hit the land, hit the water, hit the fuel, hit the logistics—and the people who feed the nation (and the military) get squeezed out. Food security collapses, prices spike, and resilience evaporates.

This is the full-spectrum softening: cartel ground game inside our borders, physical damage to energy chokepoints, regulatory/economic pressure forcing refinery exits and outright threats to leave, agricultural arson (intentional or opportunistic), foreign land grabs, cyber backdoors already in place, communications sabotage, water infrastructure attacks, logistical artery erosion through deliberate 5GW tactics, and a direct squeeze on the farmers and ranchers who keep us fed.

Intention & Strategy

These aren’t isolated. They’re coordinated pressure points on the exact systems our military and population need to survive and project power.

Disrupt fuel → ground the force.

Burn farmland or spike input costs → erode food production.

Contaminate or shut off water → create immediate panic and health crises.

Slow or sabotage logistics through 5GW friction → starve the supply chain.

Embed cartel networks → create internal chaos and diversion.

Pre-position cyber and sabotage comms → flip the switch when the time is right.

This is Target Softening 101.

Preparations Time

You already know the drill from previous parts. Stock fuel, non-perishables, water filtration, medical supplies, and ammo. Build local networks you can trust. Have contingencies for relocation if your area gets hit hard. Physical fitness remains non-negotiable—when the grid flickers or supply lines snap, the prepared thrive.I’ve linked the key sources below so you can dig deeper yourself.

Stay vigilant. Stay prepared. The softening continues, but so does American resilience.

Stay safe everyone. Just Hear Me Out.

This move should not be taken lightly. This was not “just a social media post.” This was a calculated move, and a message.

The intent for this message was three-fold:

1. Activation: signal to the politically-charged members of the citizenry, government, law enforcement, and most importantly our military that a call-to-arms is coming.

2. Confusion: further drive a wedge into the unity of the United States. Cause the citizens that occupy the middle of the political distribution (which is where the most wise and intelligent lie) to be unsure over the truth behind claims of legality (or lack-thereof) of the actions taken by the current administration. Remember our discussion over how 5GW works: by starving the population of the time to discern their reality, bombarding them with conflicting information mixing signal with noise, and then controlling what they see online.

3. Activation (External): signal to foreign co-conspirators (or handlers) that moments of opportunity are coming to take advantage of the situation domestically. Specifically in ways that have not been available yet. Marking an evolution in strategy and a ratcheting-up of events that are to come.

These are strategies deployed in color revolutions. Which is a strategy that US intelligence and military has used many, many times over the decades since WW2. Often times color revolutions were incited to gain access to strategically vital economic resources like rare earths or oil.

What’s more is US military and intelligence are widely known across the SOF and clandestine worlds to use the very same strategies that we deploy against our enemies upon our own allies and citizenry.

Doubt me? Watch Citizen Four, The Report, Zero Dark Thirty, or read “Confessions of An Economic Hitman” by John Perkins.

It cannot be ignored the relation of the infamous Seditious Six video to the timing of the recent targeting of National Guard troops two block from the White House by a former CIA asset. Rahmanullah was part of the Zero Unit Kandahar Strike Force active in Afghanistan. Making him far more skilled than National Guard units and a valuable combat asset.

It is high time for preparations to be taken by you all to be capable of weathering loss of power, access to food & water, and establish contingencies with those you trust for relocation or resiliency strategies.

I mentioned in my write-up covering the Charlie Kirk Assassination that things would be ratcheting up. That chaos would be continuing to increase in intensity. This serves as evidence that I am correct.

Stay safe everyone.

Update: November 30th, 12:41pm

I failed to add another piece of import.

The US Army’s 4th PSYOP Group released a very concerning video. They did not publish it anywhere online except for… Facebook. This video refers to Operation Fortitude, shows leaflet drops, and mobile loud speakers: evidence of the effectiveness of falsified information on a battlefield and references to intense propaganda campaigns.

The video then shows military soldiers standing in formation that reveal they are wearing masks, with no way of identifying them from above prior to their revealing themselves.

This is not a recruitment video. This is a flex. They are telling you that you do not know what is true, or what is up vs down today. They are also telling you that they are embedded within our armed forces in a fashion that you are incapable of identifying them without their revealing it to you.

Mix that with the previously stated information. We are in very dangerous, confusing, and chaotic waters folks.

Again, stay safe.

Introduction

Now I have an angle of the Target Softening series that I have seen go aggressively overlooked in all manner of discussion around America’s current position, domestically and internationally. This is a bit of a touchy subject, understandably so, due to the economic environment in the United States with inflation having been aggressively accelerated since 2020. Which is not being accurately reported whatsoever by CPI or venues such as Truflation. When inflation data is reported in rate of change versus raw percentage changes over years and decades, and the average individual here’s “inflation is coming down,” the data is getting skewed in its delivery and the effect is skewed due to lack of understanding. The other difficulty is in discussion of economics and finance often bore individuals even though they have massive impacts on our lives. Let me see if I can’t paint a picture that is more interesting to read.

In my book The Second Renaissance I discuss a number of mechanisms that are fueling the slew of crises in America. We won’t discuss those here, but know that the information is there and I recommend your getting yourself a copy gain a deeper grasp of the breadth of America’s difficult situation.

Remember my elaboration of how 5th Generation Warfare gains its effectiveness. With the advent of digital economy and digitally dominated lives, the efficacy of manipulation of the populace is unmatched across all of human history. It’s cheap, it’s widely distributed, it’s operational 24/7/365, it’s constantly improving, and it’s carried out and directed by numerous organizations and nations. That’s all without the inclusion of LLM’s (I refuse to call them ‘artificial intelligence’).

What the average American likely doesn’t know, but my readers are well aware of, is that national militaries and governments are constantly poking, prodding, and attacking their rivals, allies, and enemies. It’s all “just business” when it comes to the high levels of interaction. Alliances and trade agreements between nations is all a matter of “what do I get out of it,” not unlike business. Mutual benefit is necessary. When this balance is perturbed, the foundation for these relationships also becomes rocky. The nations and businesses that matter are all striving to gain access to more resources and more revenue, access to these gives more power. Power to expand, power to withstand hardship, and power to remain. Power is everything in this world.

The acquisition and retaining of power also requires consistent accumulation of information—hence the constant pen testing. Armies do this with armed patrols engaging in brief kinetic engagements and with cyber departments pulling off acts of aggression to gain small bits of information that build into a broader picture of the oppositions capabilities and vulnerabilities.

Nations also use markets…

The Chaotic History of the American Dollar

The Federal Reserve is at the center of the financial and economic zeitgeist today. Governmental money printing is therefore also in many crosshairs. However, what is not within the sight picture is utilization of trade and fiscal policy to weaken the US’s hegemonic position that is not focusing on China or Russia. This is where our focus today will lie.

The United States’ current USD is not something that has been around for long. Since the American Revolution, America’s financial history is littered with numerous instances of currency creation, irresponsible monetary and fiscal policy, economic ruin, and painfully learned lessons.

Six years after the conclusion of the American Revolution the US Dollar was established as a currency backed by gold and silver coinage by the leadership of Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury. In 1781 the first Bank of the United States was established, given the power to issue debt (bonds) and regulate state banks. The Bank of the United States was modeled after the Bank of England. Be aware, the Bank of England played a major role in fueling the environment that produced the American Revolution by failing to support the American colonies with funds. The creation of the Bank of the United States fueled an expansion of state-chartered banks that ultimately ended up creating a discussion over the constitutionality of competition between federal and state bank competition. Culminating in the expiring of the charter of the US’s first Bank of the United States. This weakened the federal government’s capability to fund the War of 1812, which justified the need for a second Bank of the United States charter that ended up expiring in 1836.

The period leading up to the Civil War was a time of aggressive proliferation of individual bank note creation, which saw wide differences in valuation and were prone to fraud. This kind of chaos really weakened the economy of the United States and slowed expansion due to rampant bank failures and a 20 year era of chaos thanks to three banking panics from 1837 to 1857.

Following the Civil War the National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1865 attempted to put a stint into the American Dollar system. They failed. A 34 year era of banking crises followed culminating in 1907 with JP Morgan being called upon to inject liquidity into the economy to provide liquidity. This led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, under very scrupulous tactics which are detailed in The Creature From Jekyll Island. Leading up to the evolution of the US Dollar that we know today in 1971 to a pure fiat currency when Nixon closed the gold window.

Currency & Trade Dynamics

During World War II the Bretton Woods Agreement established the US Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency where foreign currencies were pegged to the US Dollar. When Nixon closed the gold window, this kicked off an even more dynamic era of currency competition around the world. How you ask?

When we as individual citizens pay off debt we want to make those payments in a money that lacks purchasing power. Paying debts with a money that grows in purchasing power, let alone retains it, causes one to lose the power to gain more desirable positioning to be able to purchase more goods and services versus a money that is weak. Weakness results in a money or currency losing value versus their competitors. This is characterized by banks and investors selling one money in exchange for another. However, weakness also results from inflating the supply of a money or currency to the extent of supply outreaching demand. Supply & demand dynamics dictate that in such an environment the oversupply results in a decrease in price. Decreasing price trends are a representation of weakness. So, you and I are behooved to pay our debts back in a currency that continues to lose purchasing power, like the US Dollar (USD), versus something like gold, silver, or bitcoin. Nations are no different.

This is where currency warfare comes into view. Nations will game this dynamic just like investors, traders, hedge funds, and banks. However, nations are interested in far more than simply trading for a profit. Gaming the currency trade enables a country to be capable of gaining negotiating power in international trade agreements.

With the Bretton Woods Agreement nations are trapped in a dilemma. A stronger currency favors their constituents, citizens can save in the currency and gain wealth while also seeing the prices for goods and services, increasing capability to improve cost of living standards. But when it comes to matters of international trade and infrastructure deals financed by debt a weaker currency is much more desirable. Nations, just like us, don’t want to pay in a strong currency. But debt infrastructure deals enable nations to help neighbors establish infrastructure that can improve standards of living for constituents and improve facilitation of trade in the future. Like the US helping countries build out power infrastructure in Latin American nations by allowing these countries to go into debt with us, and the work getting completed by American corporations like Standard Oil. These activities are discussed in John Perkins’ Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

Currency Warfare

The board is almost set. The last bit is the shadow banking system. In fractional reserve banking, debt is an asset on a bank’s balance sheet because it provides a line of revenue by the debtor paying the loan back. The term ‘fractional reserve’ means that banks can hold a fraction of their assets in reserve and create loans against their total assets. This provides liquidity in the form of loans to facilitate economic expansion. Following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) the fraction was just 10%, meaning that for every $10 the bank held in assets (deposits and loans) they could loan out $9 worth. Effectively creating USDs as those lines of credit get spent into the economy. That 10% fractional reserve requirement has since been dropped to zero following 2020.

London is able to effectively create USDs by taking on US debt (bonds) as collateral and issuing their own line of credit with depositors. But this system is not regulated by the United States, meaning we do not have jurisdiction to see how many dollars ultimately ended up being created and put into circulation. It’s also worth noting that because these banks are willing to take bonds on as deposits, they are also often used equivalent to money (referred to as ‘money-good’) for use in trade.

The shadow banking system refers to a network where banks and other financial institutions will take out loans against one another. Which creates more dollars that flow into the economy but are not considered dollar creation. Taking this reality and adding the nature of our inability to regulate the international USD monetary activities, and mixing in London’s liberal willingness to take on US bonds and treasuries as collateral to facilitate USD-denominated debt creation means that we have absolutely no idea how many dollars are in circulation around the world outside of our domestically sourced data.

The Target Softening Strategy

This is a massive problem for the US. The eurodollar shadow banking system enables a very dastardly form of warfare. Currency warfare. Let’s game this out. If you were a rival to the US, and/or wanted to influence US policy decisions, you want as many bargaining chips as you can afford. This includes a country’s access to resources like food or rare earth minerals but also includes the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of said country’s opposition at the negotiating table.

This is a risk that was on display in June of 2021 when Christine Legarde had the audacity to try and tell Jerome Powell that it was the US’s responsibility to loosen interest rate policy in order to facilitate loan creations to support the EU’s climate catastrophization initiatives in pushing for intermittent power infrastructure and the demonization of hydrocarbons and nuclear energy. Jerome Powell held all the cards, and very politically told Legard to essentially f-off because his responsibility was to Americans, not Europeans.

Now let’s consider the effects of currency debasement (inflation) on the American populace. Everything is more expensive today than it was only 5 years ago. Food, housing, health insurance, and general goods and services. Meanwhile wages have failed to keep up with inflation and productivity gains for decades. The stock market is at all-time-highs while the majority of Americans do not own investible assets or have the funds to service an emergency cost of merely $1,000. And buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services are being used aggressively for purchases of groceries and food deliveries. The average American is getting squeezed in their day-to-day.

If I were a rival country that wanted to influence the US, I would be incentivized to weaken them. The eurodollar shadow banking system provides an opportunity to weaken the global USD market by flooding the world with dollars beyond the purview of the US which can potentially destroy strategies the US has when its assets available to it are out of its control. An army that fails to have control over its soldiers is an impotent military force. Monetary and economic policy for a country is no different.

The sentiment inside the US continues to follow a trajectory that has led to class warfare and revolution in the past. Look at the Bolshevik Revolution in Soviet Russia, the French Revolution, or the American Revolution mentioned earlier in this essay.

How much of the domestic inflation inside the US has been largely fueled by dollars that were created in the Eurozone and made their way back to onshore markets? Through American companies that have a presence in Europe and the world those dollars can make it back to the US as revenue and then trickle down by paying employees, maintaining benefits for said employees like health insurance, and fueling expansion projects that require payment to contractors.

How many of those eurodollars have made it to the US through tourism? Or through investment like the purchasing of property or simply exposure to American markets? How many of those eurodollars have made it into the pockets of politicians in the forms of scrupulous campaign contributions or outright bribes (that we all know exist but are so rarely ever adequately documented)? How many of those eurodollars make their way into funding propaganda and destablization operations such as the activities of the Blue Network that I detailed last week? How many wind up funding direct military action against US interests? How many of those dollars make their way into the hands of cartels in Latin America?

The data on such strategies will be near impossible to collect or parse out, but just by considering the incentives of pushing such strategies we can conclude that there are numerous parties across the globe that would be interested. Through that we can assume with a high degree of confidence that they are happening today and have been for decades.

For those uninitiated to the ways of chemistry, biology, or markets—I cannot imagine how confused or scared you may be right now. If you’re paying attention that is. If you’re one of the individuals that prefers to keep your head buried ‘safely’ in the sand, well… let’s face it, you’re not one of my readers. You’re here to see the reality of our world and you are the reason I continue to produce content. With each individual that we influence to be woken up from the psychosis that is causing the Western Nations to act in ways that are disconnected from reality, the more we can right the ship before hitting the proverbial ice berg.

Now that the masculinity crisis has properly permeated the zeitgeist, and the subsequent lash back to the dating environment that women have created through their feminist indoctrination, it’s high time we talk about a systemic cancer that has permeated United States Armed Forces (USAF) for decades. In order to rationally judge what is happening in the US, one must first have seen the interview from G. Edward Griffin (author of The Creature From Jekyll Island) speaking with former KGB spy Yuri Bezmenov.

The 80s confirmed a series of cultural changes within the US through the Russian ideological subversion strategy, which created a set of multi-faceted flywheels. These flywheels have only been gaining momentum like a chemical catalytic reaction or a snowball rolling down a snowcapped mountain. One of these flywheels was aimed at destroying American patriotism. In order to succeed this outcome required a weakening of the American family unit by destroying the average American’s state of mind.

Through economic erosion via currency debasement (carried out naturally by big government). Debasement slowly bleeds the mass population of free time by forcing The People to work longer and harder for a weaker economic unit, which means less purchasing power—the US Dollar (USD). This then results in an environment where the individual lacks time. Specifically free time. Free time is necessary for individuals to explore their beliefs, practice their beliefs, adventure into new skills or hobbies, develop new or secondary lines of revenue, and many more. But, most important of all it takes away time from families. Parents that don’t have time to properly rear the next generation, because they’re encumbered by simply trying to provide food and shelter, result in a greater percentage of dysfunctional members of society. I covered this ecosystem in my essay 5GW: War Without Consent.

Resulting in an economic and cultural environment that winds up destroying the broad health of a population. In my essay The Fiat Stress Machine & Masculine Compression I discussed this in detail. By destroying the American male population’s testosterone levels and having them bombarded on the homefront and dating markets with feminist ideology we get generations of young men that are psychologically and emotionally sundered. Producing young men that are patently feminized and young women that are wholeheartedly masculinized.

The Brief:

Feminized males and masculinized females made acceptance, and later adoption, of DEI policies much smoother. How is this relevant? DEI directly spits in the face of meritocracy. There are key industries of society that cannot tolerate anything other than a meritocracy. Industries like the science, technology, engineering and mathematics. You know where else you absolutely cannot tolerate anything but a meritocracy? The military.

The USAF’s adoption of DEI policies resulted in individuals of weakness occupying positions of leadership. Which later culminated into lowering of standards and ultimately diminishment of execution capacity of the armed forces.

These dynamics eroded the reputation of our military, which caused us to be viewed as weak by the world population, and results in hamstrung recruiting efforts. Compounding into a global environment where our geopolitical rivals take advantage of opportunities for power grabs amidst the likelihood of greater success.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s address signals the final realization of this problematic situation and an acknowledgement that it can be tolerated no longer.

While being a much needed policy shift and a mark of improvement from the environment of recent past, this mean reversion comes at a time that invites aggressive emotional pushback from the masculinized women and feminized men in the US. These groups will continue to resist kinetically and I while it is wise to expect that counter-moves will escalate on both sides, expect developments to result in two guaranteed outcomes:

1. Actions by both sides will get used to justify erosions of individual privacy and the constriction of rights of American citizens (and international).

2. The path of least resistance is towards amplification of chaos at home and abroad.

I would advise all of you to accumulate some resources in the off chance of future events resulting in a loss of currently available, highly relied upon, support systems. MREs are easily acquirable on Amazon. Just buy the boxes of military MREs, the bougie products will not be reliable in hard times. Get a couple ponchos, woobies, LifeStraws, Aqua Tabs, a tent or two, sleeping bags, ruck sack, and of course ammo. If you haven’t started, it’s time to change that.

I don’t intend to spread fear, I just don’t want to see my neighbors and countrymen caught off guard and forced into positions of desperation when simply saying something could be the difference between total chaos and just a stretch of difficult times.

Parting Words

Make no mistake, what is transpiring in the US is a culmination of a decades-long strategy that was deployed with the aim of weakening the United States from within. This protocol follows the modus operandi of the intelligence space: catalyze large movements through covert actions that get carried on by the mass populace that is unawares of the forces in play.

Read the other Target Softening installments to gain a high-level insight into the forces at play against the United States. I recommend starting with the 2nd installment below for a short update, but reading the Part 1 and Part 3 will give you the gravity of the situation.

These are the moves of war. So far that war has remained in the shadows with the signals obfuscated by an oversupply of media coverage over nonsense cultural events and distractions.

The things that go bang in the night only stay in the shadows until they see opportunity. Let’s make sure they don’t get that opportunity.

In the off chance that they do, then we make damn sure we give them far more than they bargained for.

Over the last few weeks we’ve had a couple of… let’s say not so great headlines coming out involving Mexico.

• FinCen has identified over 130,000 Bank Secrecy Act reports between the years of 2020 and 2024 that are tied to Chinese money laundering networks amounting to over $300 billion in funds moved. These networks have been linked to individuals that possess passports from the People’s Republic of China. Meanwhile Sam Cooper claims that the actual value of the money laundering scheme runs much higher.

  

• Fentanyl, which has been established as being produced and smuggled into the US by Mexican cartels (yet having the components provided by China), now makes up 70% of the drug overdose cases in the US. Many, including myself, have made the comparison to China’s activities being similar to England’s during the Opium Wars.

The First Opium War stemmed from Britain's trade deficit with China, driven by European demand for Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain. Britain countered this imbalance by exporting opium, primarily from British India, to China, despite Qing prohibitions. By the 1830s, opium addiction had become a social and economic crisis in China, prompting the Qing government, under Emperor Daoguang, to enforce strict anti-opium policies. In 1839, Commissioner Lin Zexu seized and destroyed British opium stocks in Canton, escalating tensions. Britain, seeking to protect its commercial interests and assert free trade principles, responded militarily.

The problem today is the participation of intelligence agencies being involved in seeding, expanding, and protecting illegal drug production, smuggling, and selling networks.

The 1989 Kerry Committee Report is a primary source documenting U.S. government investigations into drug trafficking linked to the Nicaraguan Contras. It concluded that “it is clear that individuals who provided support for the Contras were involved in drug trafficking, the supply network of the Contras was used by drug trafficking organizations, and elements of the Contras themselves knowingly received financial and material assistance from drug traffickers.” While the report does not explicitly state that the CIA directly seeded drug production networks, it suggests that the CIA was aware of and indirectly facilitated drug-related activities by not addressing trafficking within Contra supply networks.

The Hitz Report, conducted by CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz, investigated allegations of CIA complicity in drug trafficking during the Contra era. It found instances where the CIA failed to “cut off relationships with individuals supporting the Contra program who were alleged to have engaged in drug trafficking activity or take action to resolve the allegations.” For example, the report notes that the CIA requested the Justice Department return $36,800 seized from a member of the Meneses drug ring to protect an “operational equity” (a Contra support group). This suggests the CIA indirectly protected drug traffickers to maintain operational interests, though it denies direct involvement in drug selling.

What isn’t widely discussed is that Inspector General Hitz broke his report up into two volumes. Volume I covered smuggling activity in California. But Volume II focussed on tethers between the CIA, drug traffickers, the Contra program, and subsequent leaders and organizations involved.

The above quote is included to as you one thing: if the CIA “broke off contact” with with the ARDE, which engaged in a drug trafficking conspiracy with Morales, but continued contact with “…four of the individuals involved with Morales…” did the CIA really break off ties and relations? I mean really guys. This is bureacratic legalize to state that on paper and for public appeasement that they no longer work with the individuals, they just so happen to work with four of his top lieutenants.

My point is that the CIA continued its work with these organizations after getting caught with their pants down. They simply learned how to manage the legal and public relations aspects of their strategy to appear above board while continuing illegal activity. Now, if the CIA engages in this activity, then it would behoove everybody to assume that intelligence agencies and organizations across the globe from other superpowers would also engage in similar tangential forms of military and intelligence strategies. Hence the reference to the Opium Wars and China.

As China continues to pump fentanyl into America with the assistance of the Cartel pipelines they profit in numerous ways. Their rival (the US) becomes continually weighed down with the social and fiscal weights that come with a population with drug problems; healthcare becomes saddled as premiums explode because so much of their customer base requires medical care, law enforcement becomes overwhelmed, military recruiting takes a dent, the list goes on. Downstream of that the US becomes dramatically weakened, which leaves the US vulnerable and preoccupied giving China multiple opportunities to gain ground on numerous fronts of power.

But China isn’t the only one who profits here. Europe profits as well. As I noted in a previous writing (linked below), one of the largest linchpins in Europe’s economy is the exporting of chemicals, which primarily get used in pharmaceuticals. Drugs that get used as legal controlled substances like ADD medication, but also the kinds of products that are used in support of responding to drug overdose (like Naloxone, the active ingredient in Narcan).

Cartel California

Further supporting my confidence that China is influencing, and using as proxies, the Mexican drug cartels, is the identification of live streaming devices across California. There is no knowing how long this strategy has been in place, making this a particularly problematic development. IF I am correct in China’s utilizing of cartels as proxies to engage in a Fentanyl War to weaken the US (which I am correct), then you can bet your ass they are doing what we would do in this situation: assisting in the funding, logistics, and planning of setting up streaming devices in exchange for using their technology and/or being given access to these devices.

The cartels don’t need to know why the Chinese would want access, the Chinese don’t even need to have an immediate justification for it to begin with. But having access to the data stream and intel that they can provide in the future would be highly valuable so long as they were to go undetected.

Furthermore, the hacking of an FBI agent’s phone and using of the information from this camera network in order to hunt down informants suggests a significant escalation in cartel tactics and capabilities.

Now, I’m not saying that the cartels would not have been capable of such feats without Chinese influence or support. Their regular activities and tactics as covered by OSINT accounts on Twitter shows how well armed and capable these organized crime syndicates have become. However, what I am suggesting is that Chinese assistance would help smoothen out the rough edges of these organizations through the assistance of agents inserted into these organizations over the last few years. This would be no different than OPN WHITESTAR in SE Asia or our activities carried out by US Green Berets in theaters like Syria.

And what better way to have hidden the movements and deployments of these operatives than in the midst of a MASSIVE coordinated flood of tens of thousands of individuals emigrating to the US through the Darian Gap, which included thousands of Chinese as covered by Bret Weinstein and Michael Yon…

The US and China continue to poke and prod each other. Using methods and strategies that may seem unrelated or meaningless on the surface. Regardless of whether you believe that both sides are just playing the same political game in order to accumulate power together against their populaces, or you believe that China and the US really are at odds due to their cultural differences, evidence that they continue to stir the pot is obvious. China and US relations are on a clear path to conflict, and the more prepared the American (and European) people are, the less egregious the impacts can be.

We’re going to start things off with the most recent events first. We have Americans throwing their hands up in protest across the nation over the TikTok Ban finally coming to a climax. The result of years of observation and investigation into the app and company machinations. Many are throwing combined tantrums of a child who just got their favorite meth-laden toy taken from them, resulting in not only anger for losing their favorite plaything but a legitimate drug addiction withdrawal. Resulting in many acting-out in emotional (and therefore irrational) manners by going over to China’s REDNote app, which is supposed to be their domestic, internal version of TikTok, without considering any of the consequences or downstream effects of these decisions.

These people doing this have no idea what forces and what militaristic initiatives and strategies they are playing right into. TikTok is a known keylogging software.

I can hear the ‘acktually’ coming from here. I know what you’re going to say, “well plenty of American-made apps are doing this already,” and you’d be right. However, there are much more negative downstream effects when it comes to military strategy and state-sponsored competition for this situation.

*Half of the US population had a TikTok account; 170 million. I can say with potent pride that I was never one of those individuals.

Social Engineering & Surveillance

*Jump to 8:30 in for the TikTok portion of the show where Kimmel was only just recently educated on why China’s access to American children (not just their parents and peers) is extremely important.

What Americans primarily seem to operate on today is a fantasy land in the post-WW2 era of believing we’re in a world where nobody wishes war against the US. If we’re talking about outright war, you’d be correct (mostly). But when it comes to information war, technological, psychological war (5th Generation War), then you’d be sorely, abhorrently mistaken.

While the TikTok app was collecting password, credit card, and private message correspondence, we’ve got the new app that our adult-children are flocking to is effectively using the app as a mobile sonar device like in the Dark Knight.

REDNote would also be capable of identifying what other devices are connected on the network (again, like our American apps). This allows the Chinese to be able to identify what apps are being used by specific human targets — enabling greater strategization for social engineering purposes. For human targets of surveillance interest the app would be allowing them to map out the rooms and buildings that their devices enter, not just identifying the devices on the network. This includes their living spaces, homes of friends and colleagues, workplaces, and routine visits for social purposes.

This is highly desirable intel for Target Softening purposes. Imagine surveilling multiple targets in this format and identifying commonalities in their routines and scopes of influence. Their closest peers and coworkers. And monitoring their shopping behavior thanks to the information collected via the keylogging if they had ever bought anything in-app or within the in-app browser like the online stores clicked on when using apps like Twitter of Facebook.

Cultural Warfare

They’re also waging culture war by working to sway Americans over towards the Chinese method(s) by making life seem far more desirable over on the Chinese mainland versus conditions here in the States.

There’s also the matter of the translation of the name for Xiaohungsho being “Little Red Book.” Many have seen the film Avenger’s Civil War. I recommend you revisit the story and focus in on the little red book that the antagonist uses to manipulate Captain America’s best friend, which was also used to make him into a Manchurian Candidate.

You have to give the Chinese credit. They’re taking a situation of America’s own making and using it against them. In the realm of tactics and strategy, well played CCP.

USAF Pilot Foolishly Posts to REDNote

This one is so stupid that it justifies its own section. It’s brief and self-explanatory. A USAF C-17 pilot posted a number of videos to the app showing (as seen below) the control panels and other cockpit views — a BIG no-no in military aviation. If this pilot is not already being taken through the ringer and going through court martial, our military has become exceedingly complacent.

Drones & Fires

The Chinese have been collecting data in another very effective and valuable route. With a common denominator as the last topic. While America is outsourcing manufacturing and production to China, the CCP is outsourcing their data generation and aggregation to the average American citizen.

The drone market is DOMINATED by the Chinese company DJI. We all went through the barrage of news about the drone activity on the East Coast.

With the activity on drone websites being absolutely dominated by American access.

While this shows US consumer’s activities in accessing drondj.com, it also shows the sheer volume of interest in drone operations. The greater the volume of interest the greater the potential surveillance assets for the CCP. All while collecting sales revenue; we are paying them to collect surveillance intel on us and our country, that is being collected by our own using of their products. Again, well played Xi.

I want you to direct your gaze to the “Drone Usage By Industry Sector” chart. The entire portion of that pie is all high equity intel when it comes to the war table. Infrastructure for vulnerabilities in the power grid, locations of rare earth metals and natural resources, current conditions of agricultural yield and crop rotation, and insurance claims for areas already softened by adverse events or disasters, natural or otherwise.

We recently saw DJI abandon their No-Fly Zone designation when operating their products in the US. While this has publicly been stated to be adapting to the FAA’s rather lax approach to these areas, there is far more valuable militaristic potentiality with this move.

I do not believe that this move is coincidentally coming after the onslaught of activity on the East Coast. The dropping of NFZ’s being visible for the average consumer and drone operator within the US means that they no longer have access to something that had been provided to them previously essentially off the jump, i.e. a crutch. Now that drone operators do not have their crutch, those that have not committed these locations to memory will be none-the-wiser to their location, especially if they are operating in new locations. This can increase the amount of activity that has to be monitored by military base radar systems and Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower personnel. Requiring knowledge to be capable of differentiating radar pings from friendlies or potential military/aggressor threats. The greater the volume and persistence of chaos on the battlefield, the more malleable the front becomes.

The Chinese and LA

We got to see China taking advantage of the situation in recent California fires. With Tony Seruga having tracked numerous Chinese Nationals that had been tracked crossing the Southern Border and visiting one of the CCP police stations operational in the Californian state. These individuals were reportedly taking part in the arson that had already claimed tens of thousands of acres.

This leads me to believe that the China was at least playing a role in the setting and spreading of these fires as a further Target Softening strategy:

• Destroy or damage billions in American infrastructure and civilian housing

• Overwhelm emergency services personnel

• Push the populace into outrage

• Further burden the average American that has been impacted by displacement and already weighed down by oppressive cost of living (while being ignored by the political and corporate American world thanks to manipulated metrics like CPI that do not reflect reality, so it can be denied on an ‘official’ basis)

• Overwhelming the population with emergency situations keeps the people preoccupied, meaning they are not keeping their wits about them for unusual activity; opening up opportunities for operatives and saboteurs to have their way with critical infrastructure — like the Metcalfe Event mentioned in our first installment of this Target Softening series

• Chaotic environments allow for more activity to be executed upon under the shroud of confusion and reshuffling of so many millions of people; informants and embedded elements can be cycled in and out without much hindrance

All of that in consideration in addition to Gavin Newsom’s moronic Freudian slip discussing how assets were already previously staged and that they had the plans for “Los Angeles 2.0” ready to build large scale housing in the effected areas.

Escalation Between Russia x NATO

Earlier this afternoon we got word that Igor Kirillov was assassinated via 200 grams of TNT hidden in an E-bike. How we know precisely the amount of TNT utilized, your guess is as good as mine. I would prefer this to be a speculative measure based on the video footage captured of the event. But nowadays, there’s no telling whether this was OSINT-determined or “leaked” to MSM.

This development is of high value right now. We are in the midst of the lull between the nation (and the world) waiting for the current administration to see itself out, and the imminent administration to be handed the reigns. Those of you that are consistent listeners to Bitcoin Veterans have heard the likes of my co-hosts and myself warn to expect some games to be afoot during this time. Today’s activity suggests NATO and the Biden Administration are intent on continuing to poke and prod Putin’s Russia with the aim of eliciting an escalation in the Ukrainian conflict. With ZeroHedge echoing the very same.

General Kirillov’s station as Chief of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Force is of import. Speculation has long concluded that deployment of weapon systems will get deployed in this conflict (since its conception) as a strategy to muster further international anti-Russian support. With, of course, the opposition circulating complementary sentiment. A good ole fashioned intelwar. Picking this individual to be deleted suggests that there is a strategy to take advantage of the weakening of Russia’s Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Force — implying the intended deployment of any (or all) of the aforementioned weapon systems.

Chinese Recruiting Office in California?

Last week was marked by Jennifer Zeng revealing the existence of a very peculiar, in my opinion; problematic, recruiting office that is operated entirely in the Chinese language. I have no issues with multicultural Americans, and those maintaining their heritage by continuing to speak their native tongue.

What makes this problematic is that this is a US NAVY recruiting office that is speaking a language that is not common for Americans. What this does is provide a level of protection for intelligence from the local community, as well as American military forces & personnel that can not read or speak Chinese/Mandarin. Meaning the capability to obfuscate intel collection/sharing from this office’s operations to their local community as well as to US military elements.

By all means, this could be a type of double-op from the US Navy attempting to reach supposed defectors from the CCP. However, considering China operates as a blackhole for information it is far more likely that China is gaining more from such activity than our own military is. And just as a reminder for China’s desire for gathering up intel on our military operations, I provide you a map below of the Chinese-owned farmland and its proximity to many of our bases here at home.

Drones Across the US

By now, everyone has heard of the drones. All I want to state here is that there are a plethora of possibilities and likelihoods for the activity we are seeing.

1. There is possibility that a private commercial enterprise is testing autonomous drone activity in FAA airspace in some of the most high-track airspace in the country — it would make for a great training ground for AI.

2. We could be seeing similar testing being done by a private military contractor (PMC) to show capability (with volume) — particularly involving the resistance to interception of comms. This could be one of two possibilities.
   

   1. We could be seeing a false flag op to try and attract the public into forfeiting their rights to privacy out of runaway fear for a perceived threat.

      

   2. We could be seeing a PMC that is showing off technological capabilities. This could involve the US military truly not being capable of doing anything to establish dominance over said craft. Or this could be the US military and government lying about not being capable of establishing control.

      

      *It is important to note, that situations (a) and (b) can be standalone strategies, or they can be mixed together to bring about shared outcomes — as is common in tactical planning and politik.
      

3. It could be a foreign adversary that is flexing dominance over our airspace in a very public manner. Now the question is why would the US publicly state that we don’t know what these are or that we cannot establish control over the situation. This makes us look weak across multiple fronts to our people and to the world — not something that a global economic and military hegemon can afford.

   1. Could it be that our current administration and military leadership is so incompetent that they would foolishly choose honesty now of all times? What do they stand to gain?

      1. Could said ‘honesty’ be intended to intentionally weaken the US’s position on the economic and military stages?

      2. Could it be an attempt to ratchet up the fear in the public?

         1. With the intent of painting another foreign adversary as the perpetrator (like Iran)?

            1. To be used as a rally cry to tip the world officially into WW3?

4. We could be seeing a hush-hush cooperative between contractors and private commercial enterprises working together as they search the Eastern Seaboard. Sarah Adams’ most recent appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show shared intel that would justify this theory. What could be getting searched for?

   1. We could be searching for a specific individual, or group of individuals.

   2. We could be “sniffing” for radiological or chemical material.

   3. We could be performing both with 24/7 ops.

5. The last theory is Project Blue Beam. If you don’t know what PBB is, divert your gaze to the image below.

   

   
   One thing I can state with very, very high confidence. It is not ‘the aliens.’ And therefore, do not fall into the fear trap of any attempts to claim some “alien invasion” now, or in the near future.

Target Softening

All of these topics are valuable intel points for our Target Softening considerations. Each one of these topics and events leads to a weakening of America. As discussed previously, America does not have a population that is capable of supporting a kinetic conflict against the likes of a fellow superpower. Our population is the weakest and unhealthiest of all of the major global powers.

With the plans of bringing kinetic escalations to America’s soil, as detailed by Sarah Adams, and the information provided by Kash Patel that I noted in Target Softening Part 3, America is in a position of grand vulnerability.

Trying to pull Russia into taking an escalatory step towards WW3 only stands to benefit military contractors and bankers.

The Sky Is Falling

Europe cannot handle a WW3 if it were to come to it. If Europe cannot handle it themselves, we certainly cannot do the heavy lifting for them from our position.

South Korea had a coup attempt, and their currency is on the cliff’s edge.

Japan continues to debase their currency aggressively against the dollar. There’s only so long that strategy can continue. BRICS continues to work towards trying to figure out a path forward that will work.

World War 3 requires aggressive money printing (currency debasement).

Economic Repression/Depression requires aggressive money printing.

Government can do nothing but cut costs and spend more. Regardless of the problem at hand. And we’ve seen just how effective an organization of people is at cutting costs (have you ever watched an addict quit? — it’s a high failure/relapse rate).

If WW3 comes, Europe is going to be on its own. The American people do not have the stomach for more difficulty. And that right there increases the likelihood for False Flags — to spark the populace into a bloodlust akin to 2001 and WW2. I would recommend revisiting all of the considerations mentioned here with a potential for False Flag operability.

Everything is on the table. Old systems are in their death throes. Chaos is on the menu, with Change being the dessert. It is up to use to decide whether that dessert is something we want, or our enemies want.

🚸 The Southern Border

Any one of these events by themselves may come across as simple coincidences. However, when all are taken into account and observed to be occurring within a very small timeframe I find it quite difficult to not see how there is a Target Softening campaign being carried out against the USA. We have a LOT going on relating to the Southern Border. From a cartel having a meaningful presence here in the US, to the US Army having a leaked report on their presence.

Kash Patel recently went on Shawn Ryan’s podcast where he dropped a number of bombs relating to multiple current affairs here in the US. If you saw this episode, you knew that I would be bringing this discussion up. I will bring up Patel a few more times here.

The first point I would like to discuss is the very real threat that the state of our Southern Border brings for America. As Kash mentions, the threat of the current administration attempting to fast-track illegal aliens’ gaining of citizenship with zero documentation. This is a major concern as the channels for LEGAL immigration are put in place for a number of reasons, and one of those reasons is to check & confirm the criminal status of individuals attempting to emigrate to the United States. All of this following these illegals having been trucked and flown into the United States under illegal auspices.

With reports of a known quantity of surface-to-air missiles having crossed our Southern Border illegally. Now, there’s no distinction between these being SAMs that are shoulder-fired or from a platform. Considering the claims of smuggling, I would suspect the shoulder-type. Common sense would suggest that these weapons have been smuggled in along with the flood of illegals crossing our border, right next to the fentanyl.

All the while, we absolutely can not forget this man, and what he said after crossing the Southern Border. Kash’s words should be heeded by all of you, our adversaries are not beholden to acting within the week, the month, or the year. We do not know when their schemes will be hatched.

🚦 Infrastructure

I’ve been sharing my concerns with the nature of the US power grid infrastructure. For Kash Patel to finally get this discussion closer to the zeitgeist helps bring some ease to my worries. Not because I view this as any sort of “solution,” but the more quickly we can get the masses updated on the truly poor condition of our power grids, the sooner we can get to strategizing the solution(s).

For the adversarially-minded purposes, I am expressly satisfied with his discussing how vulnerable this part of our infrastructure is to covert influence. The failure by CrowdStrike a few short weeks ago serves as evidence for such worries.

⚓ Dockworkers Strike

Within the last few hours, the dock workers strike will have begun. This is awfully poorly-timed with the southeast having just gotten out of their pummeling by Hurricane Helene. This strike has the potential to grievously impact shipping, and will certainly make waves across the country if the teamsters are not satisfied with haste. The reported impacts could amount to $5 billion in losses per day.

🛰 George Soros

Dear old George is back at it again. This time instead of continuing to meddle in the prosecution of violent offenders, he’s now moving into the manipulation of public radio by buying up 200 radio stations. After Glenn Beck discussing with the FCC Commissioner over the very abnormal behavior by the FCC to fast-track this sale to Soros, speculations are circulating that Georgey Boy is nabbing up these radio stations to shift their politically-aligned programming away from Conservative AM radio.

🔗 Election Questions

Eric Weinstein recently discussed his uncertainties with our coming election, and the forces that are seemingly aligned to deny the population what it wishes.

With his brother Bret sharing similar concerns. This is meaningful as Bret has been much more vocal about these political dealings for much longer, with Eric only recently sharing these thoughts. Such a move expresses confidence in his position.

Robert Epstein recently spoke with Joe Rogan to discuss his team’s findings around Google’s capabilities to manipulate search engine results. Robert shares their findings because he has justifiable concerns with just how manipulative such powers can be — if you control the information that people are capable of seeing, you can effectively convince a population to believe a false reality. Such revelations cast light on more conspiracy theories around the capabilities of Big Tech, the Intel Community, and government overreach… Very important considerations to keep top-of-mind as we approach this election season.

We also have a case of the DOJ suing the state of Alabama for preventing noncitizens being included on their voter rolls. For those who do not know what ‘voter rolls’ are, they are official records of all individuals who are registered and eligible to vote in a particular jurisdiction. The claim by the DOJ is that Alabama did not make this move within the legal window, Alabama did so 84 days out from the election with the window being 90 days. Why would this matter? The current administration has been expediting the process to get illegal aliens registered as voters. It’s awful hard not to see how this looks like an administration breaking multiple laws to inflate their support in ‘covert’ manners, and then utilizing the legal system to take advantage of bureaucracy to defend their strategies.

🃏 Sean “Diddy” (formerly knowns as “P. Diddy,” “Puffy,” and “Puff Daddy”) Combs

Without a doubt you’ve all heard about the Sean “Diddy” (formerly knowns as “P. Diddy,” “Puffy,” and “Puff Daddy”) Combs has been arrested on charges of (1) racketeering conspiracy, (2) sex trafficking, and (3) transportation to engage in prostitution. With reports of his “Freak Off” parties including a wide assortment of heinous acts involving a roster of powerful and famous individuals, one needs to be concerned over how this case will effect all matter of American society. The Obamas are already implicated through a seemingly intimate relationship with John Legend and Chrissy Teigan (whom are being implicated with involvement in the Diddy scandals).

World War 3

🛂 Israel

You can say it’s inflammatory all you want, but it’s time to smell the roses. World War 3 is upon us and developing as we speak. The most recent developments involve an escalation of military tactics with a Beeper Bombing by Israel against known Hezbollah agents. The beepers were all called at the same moment in the afternoon, which triggered an explosive to detonate simultaneously.

**UDATE** Iran launched a bombardment against Israel mere hours after publishing.

Iran is showing Israel (and the world) that they are not here to play games. Our world is on a path to expeditious increases in momentum on a number of fronts.

☢ Russia

Violence between Russia and NATO continues to escalate. NATO has announced they’re developing a plan for a large scale movement on the front line. The claim is to be for evacuating the wounded…

…but considering that NATO has both began using attack drones into Russian territory, as well as green-lighting the use of long-range missiles to attack deep in to Russia… evacuating the wounded will not be the primary reason for the large-scale movement.

The violence on the Asian continent is very important to remain cognizant of. The US is the primary security force behind NATO, if NATO gets involved in all-out war, that means American men & women being deployed to aid in the conflict (in more meaningful and overt manners than many already are). Which means more Americans being sacrificed for the sake of others. At seemingly every turn average Americans are being led like lambs to the slaughter. Both figuratively (economically, socially, medically, spiritually, philosophically, politically) as well as literally.

To make matters worse, with the announcement of the large-scale NATO offensive, Putin responded with warning The West again, that he is willing to deploy nuclear weapons if any of those missiles or drones are to cross into Russian airspace.

💥Presidential Assassination (x2)

ALL OF THIS, and we haven’t even discussed the assassination attempt on Trump. OR THE SECOND ONE.

I’m not going to opine on this topic, as I’m sure the adrenal and dopaminergic burnout is quite rampant in all of you. I only wanted to remind everyone here of these events all together. These are all pieces to a grander Target Softening strategy. All of these together contribute to a majorly weakened United States of America. All to be taken account with the potently emotional mixture of oil & water in our country when it comes to political affiliation and ideations.

Welcome, America. To the Chaos Era.

Many of you likely have not heard about the Special Operator — a US Army Colonel, mind you — who was being surveilled at his home by two men, confronted them, one ended up un-al!ved from multiple gun shot wounds and the other fled the scene to be collected later. None of the information from this incident suggests that it was innocent in nature, below is quoted from the article linked above:

“The shooting incident two weeks ago in Carthage could have been a case of mistaken identity. The two Chechens had no personal identification. They did have two cell phones with Russian language contacts and camera equipment. They were not wearing any uniforms for the power company that reportedly employed them.

Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Daraev was working as a subcontractor for Utilities One, a company based in New Jersey, at the time of his death. Investigators are still working to verify his official employment and immigration status.

At the time of the incident, Daraev was not in possession of any utility equipment, utility clothing, or identification. The incident has been reported to the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).”

What makes me hopeful is that large and rational podcasts are beginning to pick up on the reality of what is going on today. The aforementioned article also brought up the Duke Energy substation attack that I have listed in Target Softening as one of many events that serve as evidence for a grand strategy to weaken the USA by 10,000 tiny cuts. One of these podcasts is the Real AF podcast with Andy Frisella. In Episode 716 Andy along with co-host and Head of Security DJ and guest Matt Graham discuss these events below:

Andy is accurate in the strategy of execution, but while I agree that this activity is being directed by members of our own government, I believe that these actions are being taken in order to weaken the US for external directives. Just look at the list of events that result in the weakening of the US and then try and develop a list of the US strengthening… there is a massive discrepancy.

What these gentlemen exposed to me that I was unaware of was the US Navy Commander Admiral Daryl Caudle telling Fox News of the frequency of international agents probing US bases having picked up recently.

Every day is an opportunity to set tomorrow up for improvement by working today.

Do the workout.

Do the project.

Do the reading.

Do the work.

Stay vigilant everyone.

I don’t normally write with a newsletter vibe, but things mandate as much right now.

The ground is shifting beneath our feet...

…and we are all too glued to our screens, too addicted to outrage, to even notice.

TLDR on some things that have happened in recent years that I have been making note of:

• US Armed Forces (USAF) were forced to engage in a gene therapy under the guise of it being a “vaccine” for a family of viruses that we have not been able to successfully vaccinate against (the Common Cold).

  • Said therapy was produced in only a few short months for this particular virus (versus years of development to cover for long-term negative effects of prior vaccine deployments of the past).

  • A 98% inoculation rate was achieved in USAF via tactics including but not limited to coercion through such means as threatening the futures of careers as well as the loss of pensions for those that were approaching their retirement ,and public humiliation by the media apparatus.

  • Side effects of the therapy particularly target MEN. Men of prime fighting age. Men that would be needed in developing of their communities and families, as well as defense of their homeland.

    

  • Those men that resisted the inoculation were forced out (like John Frankman), leaving those that were compliant, pliable, and unwilling to stand up for what is right within our USAF.

• Civilian populations were also heavily inoculated, with large numbers reporting adverse effects to the VAERS system. Leaving the public in an even greater Public Health catastrophe than it was already in prior to 2020.

  • Making the American population radically more susceptible to infection of a pathogen into the future, as well as lacking the ability to respond in a meaningfully physical capacity to any event in their backyard.

    • Tack on the overreliance on medications for depression, anxiety, ADD, and Type II diabetes, and America’s people are very weak indeed.

• The vulnerabilities in the health sector are not limited to the pharmaceutical sight picture.

  • March 2020; US obesity prevalence was over 40% of the population.

  • 2020; US childhood obesity prevalence was approaching 20% — expect that to be much worse now.

  • Just these metrics alone hint at a weakened US population. Weak to handle any level of prolonged difficulty, let alone a kinetic conflict should it come to our shores.

• The flood of illegal immigrants into the US, with some estimates totaling in the double-digit millions. While back-of-the-napkin math suggests that total currently serving soldiers + veterans amounts to just shy of 20 million in the US.

  • With the vast majority of these immigrants being men, traveling without their families, of prime military fighting age.

• US Strategic Stockpiles getting gutted. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is of the widest visibility, but there are also stockpiles of helium, rare earth metals, and pharmaceuticals.

  • The helium stockpile has caused for concerns to spread, as this gas is used in the medical, aerospace, and superconductor industries.

  • The rare earth metals reserve is also causing meaningful concern to bubble-up, as it would act as a bottleneck on our capability to maintain a defense against an external aggressor.

  • The pharmaceutical stockpile is of its own concern as 75% of our pharma products are not made in the US or her allies, but primarily in China.

  • All of these negatively impact US readiness and her capability to respond to times of adversity, whether acute or chronic.

• The prevalence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) metrics across the entire swath of the employment landscape in the US demoralizes those individuals who are capable of a position, but unable to find employment due to their being primarily white and/or male. Where skin pigmentation or sex somehow deem an individual to be more capable (or “dEsErViNg”) of a position than those who have proven their capability through merit and grit.

  • Then there’s the particular spreading of this mind virus into the US Armed Forces via current leadership across the branches. Confirming leadership’s incompetence and impotence in one fell swoop. This has been topic of mind for Lt. Col. (ret) Matthew Lohmeier.

• Weakness in American Power Grid Infrastructure is also… not great. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave our country’s grade as a C-.

  • This will mean that there are significant vulnerabilities in our power distribution and generation capabilities when responding to natural disasters, or targeted destruction of infrastructure.

  • Remember Duke Energy? — I didn’t think so. How about the Metcalf Substation attack?

• Supply chain and logistics infrastructure is getting squeezed from multiple angles. We had the labor union of UPS win a battle in increasing wages for their employees, while a major shipping company Yellow went belly-up. Reshuffling of this dynamic and critical industry will take time, all while shippers are receiving outrageous pressures from the Federal Government and EPA to continuously ramp-up emissions standards with the aims of replacing ICE vehicles with EVs. Which we all know is a farce to begin with.

  

  • Include the train derailment event in East Palestine, Ohio which devastated a local community and its environment. However, what was not talked about (and should have been) was the effects of chemicals leeching into the water table of the area. Reports have been carried out, however we have had a number of these events in the past that have resulted in massive deception schemes from these organizations. Which have resulted in blockbusters like Erin Brockovich and Dark Waters.

  • Further include the mishaps that have been occurring with airline industry of a series of equipment failures that have captured headlines and attention of the US. Acting as evidence for DEI creating vulnerabilities within critical US infrastructure that limit logistical capacity.

• Now the West Coast is seeing pressure from the insurance side, as companies are pulling out of California or pausing sales of insurance policies. Citing inflation, catastrophe exposure, and reinsurance costs among their justifications for discontinuing coverage.

• A vast swath of impotent District Attorneys have been funded by George Soros, all with similar modus operandi; not prosecuting violent offenders, and releasing them back into their local communities. A system which radically diminishes the safety of American cities. Another vulnerability for America.

  

Even with alllll of the above-stated… we still have not discussed the increasing spread of the opioid epidemic, crime in major metro areas like NYC where citizens are completely avoiding taking the subways for fears of being trapped in a steel tube with an armed psychopath. Or the provisioning of thousands of dollars to illegal immigrants instead of to those families in need who are legal American citizens. Or the programs to employ thousands of illegals into government positions, instead of you know… American citizens (that makes too much sense). Or the discussions of employing illegal immigrants into armed positions as Law Enforcement Officers or enlisted as soldiers. Or the implications that the VA is diverting funds to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants.

No needing to be vaccinated, no drug testing, no prior employment history, no background checks.

You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like attempts to push American citizens into desperate poverty while replacing them with bought mercenaries from outside our borders and lacking our culture.

In other news, below is the link to a video of a property owner *claiming* that in the UK his property has been getting used to house illegals, while also receiving a military delivery of arms intended for the inhabitants of his property.

NOW, before continuing from THAT video, there’s a heavy amount of salt to be taken here. A) it’s TikTok, B) there’s zero imagery or video to corroborate the claims or evidence, C) it’s TikTok.

Then there’s the recent bridge collapse in Baltimore.

With the greatest likelihood of this being an accident, and an investigation is still to be carried out, there are a few things that must be considered with the Baltimore Bridge.

• The US imposed a new swath of sanctions onto Russia just a few weeks ago.

  • Causing India to react by purchasing more US oil.

• The Baltimore port is a massive trade hub for the US, and the location where meaningful amounts of trade between Russia and the US occurs, even after the war began 2 years ago.

• The massacre at the Moscow Concert Hall a few days ago, with aggressive language coming from the Kremlin over implications of Western involvement the event, is very worth making note of. It is not above world leaders (and their militaries) to carry out tit-for-tat actions against each other when sides feel slighted-against.

  • Especially when Russia claims to have intel linking the terrorists to Ukraine. More salt is to be taken here, as we can not trust Russian claims of evidence without it being presented (just like we cannot trust the US to do the same without the evidence).

This story gets more interesting with the information coming out of The Warzone concerning a few US Navy vessels that are currently stuck within the Baltimore harbor from the MARAD Fleet; the SS Antares and the SS Denebola.

Did you happen to catch the information and position provided by Michael Yon with Shawn Ryan? You cannot listen to the things that Yon shares and think there isn’t intentional action being taken against the United States.

Target Softening

Too many American have been living lives that are lies by avoiding the reality that is staring them in the face. Denying reality does nothing to change it. Or prevent a worse reality from coming to bear.

I am now wholly confident that events that have been transpiring in the public eye for the past few years are involved in target softening strategies being administered with Intelligence Community (IC) tactics. Which would have been picked up on, and siphoned via osmosis (and patience) through the integration of the Chinese Communist Party into the World Trade Organization and through many various other means and strategies by way of business and academic espionage.

Americans, man and woman alike, need to be improving their physical fitness now. Become hardier for the sake of their children and their communities.

Defend the 2nd Amendment. Use the 1st Amendment. Lean on the strong people you know so that you may become strong yourself so that you may provide the same service to another.

Stay vigilant. Signing off.

P.S. I have been working for the past few months on research into influences within the United Nations that will interest the lot of you. Some of what I have found was discussed in this episode of Radical with my friends and battles Shane Hazel and Jordan Gambrell.

Thank you Randy Kelly for assisting me with input on the list.
