5th Generation and gray zone warfare: Are we under attack?

infrastructure on fire
By the author of The Prepper's Guide to Post-Disaster Communications and The Faithful Prepper

I'm watching a lot of very bizarre disasters take place on American soil, and given that there are a number of actors in the world that absolutely hate America, I find it incredibly suspicious.

We've already seen the food facility fires that are going up in smoke all over the place. But when you add in all of the bizarre train derailments, chemical spills, and the like, the only conclusion I believe one can come to is that America is currently under attack. The problem is that most people mistakenly fall into the trap of thinking that unless tanks, Apaches, and bazookas are involved, it's not war.

This is a mistake.

The face of war has changed, and the more you understand 5th Generation Warfare and gray zone warfare, the better you'll understand the happenings of today. In short:

A large fire has gutted thousands of shops at a popular clothing market in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, with shop owners devastated by the loss weeks before Eid, the Muslim festival marking the end of Ramadan.

Hundreds of firefighters and army personnel battled the inferno as it tore through the clothing market, turning it into a pile of ashes. The blaze was brought under control at 12:45pm local time (06:45 GMT) more than six hours after it started at Bangabazar Market early on Tuesday.

Several people have been injured but no deaths have been reported so far. Authorities were still trying to figure out the cause of the blaze.

Strong fire breaks out in Mexico City Central Market

mmmmmm
On Thursday, some 200 firefighters worked several hours with tankers to control a large fire in Mexico City Central Market, the main food store in the Mexican capital.

The flames, which started at about 19:00, caused a smoke column of more than 50 meters. Hopefully, they did not leave injured or dead people. Mexico DF Mayor Claudia Sheimbaum said fire brigades extinguished about 90 percent of them.

The fire affected 5,640 square meters of the market's empty packaging sector, where cardboard, wood, plastic boxes, pallets, reed baskets, and raffia sacks were stored.

Neighbors were worried about the flames since several gas stations are close to this market. Sheimbaum confirmed that these establishments have already been closed. She also asked locals to keep calm and contribute to the work of firefighters and emergency teams.

Officials warn of Emergency services have told citizens to remain indoors and switch off air conditioning units
Residents of Hamburg have been alerted to a toxic smoke cloud drifting towards the center of the northern German port city, due to a large fire on Sunday morning that could "affect the air we breathe," according to local officials.

"The population in the Hamburg area can be affected by smoke gases and chemical components in the breathing air due to a fire," read an official warning from the Hamburg fire department, which described the alert level as "extreme danger," saying "the cloud of smoke is moving towards the city center."

According to reports from local media, a major fire engulfed "several warehouses" in the Rothenburgsort district of the Hamburg-Mitte borough in a blaze understood to have begun at around 4.30am local time on Sunday. Numerous explosions were heard, and images on social media have shown plumes of smoke billowing into the air.

Eight people remained missing after the building they lived in exploded and collapsed early Sunday near the port of Marseille, leaving mounds of burning debris hampering rescue operations, officials said.

More than 100 firefighters worked against a ticking clock to extinguish flames deep within the rubble of the five-story building, but more than 17 hours later "the situation is not yet stabilized," Marseille Prosecutor Dominique Laurens said at an evening news conference.

Earlier in the day, officials had thought that between four and 10 people may have been trapped. Laurens said police have yet to confirm the apparent disappearance of a ninth person who lived in a next-door building. Five people suffered minor injuries from the collapse, which occurred shortly before 1 a.m.

Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan said two buildings that share walls with the one that collapsed were partially brought down before one later caved in, another complication in the search and rescue operation. The buildings were among evacuated structures.

Comment: Notably two other fires were reported at other French ports in recent days, one on a ferry, and another involved multiple boats at a marina:

Inside the CEI system pushing brands to endorse celebs like Dylan Mulvaney

Executives at company like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade, whose brand endorsements have turned controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney into today's woke "It girl," aren't just virtue signaling.

They're handing out lucrative deals to what were once considered fringe celebrities because they have to — or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.

At stake is their Corporate Equality Index — or CEI — score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world.

HRC, which has received millions from George Soros' Open Society Foundation among others, issues report cards for America's biggest corporations via the CEI: awarding or subtracting points for how well companies adhere to what HRC calls its "rating criteria."

Businesses that attain the maximum 100 total points earn the coveted title "Best Place To Work For LGBTQ Equality." Fifteen of the top 20 Fortune-ranked companies received 100% ratings last year, according to HRC data. More than 840 US companies racked up high CEI scores, according to the latest report.

The HRC, which was formed in 1980 and started the CEI in 2002, is led by Kelley Robinson who was named as president in 2022 and worked as a political organizer for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

More than $100,000 in cocaine washes up on 3 Florida Panhandle beaches in 1 day

More than $100,000 in cocaine washed ashore in the form of three packages found on separate Florida Panhandle beaches over a period of about 24 hours Monday and Tuesday.

According to the Walton County Sheriff's Office, the first call came Monday from Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach. A beachgoer reported finding a Ziploc bag, wrapped in clear plastic, and containing what appeared to be cocaine.

Later Monday, deputies were sent to the Gulfview Heights beach access about a suspicious package. This one appeared to be a brick of cocaine, wrapped in a biohazard bag with some sort of logo on it.

The package was taken to the WCSO's south substation, where it tested positive for cocaine.

Tuesday morning, a call came from Grayton Beach State Park regarding yet another brick of cocaine, this one wrapped with a different logo.

All three packages were submitted into evidence for destruction. The U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the finds and the WCSO's Vice/Narcotics Unit is also investigating.

Comment: More details emerge:
3 packs
Community members commented on the sheriff's office post wondering if more drugs had been washed up without being turned in. Officials replied that while they hope that isn't the case, it is a possibility. They also responded to a person who suggested the presence of drugs may bring more people to local beaches.

"We hope not, considering the amount of fentanyl-laced drugs killing people across the country," the Sheriff's Office replied.

Drugs periodically wash up on the shores of Florida. Earlier this year, nearly 150 pounds of packaged cocaine washed up on Big Pine Key. In 2019, bricks of cocaine were discovered on two beaches after Hurricane Dorian lashed the Florida coast.

Colorado authorities thwarted a possible middle school shooting after they arrested a former student who was allegedly planning a massacre inside the building.

William Whitworth, who prosecutors say identifies as Lilly, was taken into custody by the Elbert County Sheriff's Office on March 31 after it was discovered the 19-year-old had floor plans to Timberview Middle School and allegedly admitted to wanting to shoot up the school, according to an arrest affidavit obtained and reported on by local outlets.

Whitworth was originally paid a visit by deputies when the suspect's sister called authorities to alert them she was lashing out and made school shooting references, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported, citing the affidavit.

Proud Boys attorney wants to unmask informants during Jan. 6 trial

An attorney for a member of the Proud Boys recently called on the U.S. government to unmask all of the informants and undercover agents involved in the January 6 Capitol riots.

In a motion filed on Wednesday, the attorney for Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola compelled the government:
"to reveal all informants, undercover operatives and other Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) relating to the events of January 6. Pezzola recently learned that a federal agency other than FBI — the Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) unit — was handling and running undercover CHSs on Jan. 6. The federal prosecutors in this case are refusing to disclose information regarding these non-FBI informants. The existence, and likely conduct of these CHSs is almost certainly exculpatory for Pezzola."
The motion this week comes amid the ongoing trial for the Proud Boys, where members including Pezzola, as well as Ethan Nordean, Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl, have been accused of seditious conspiracy and several other charges, in connection to the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

Comment: Swift justice? This legal process is purposefully drawn out and in the public's face to influence the next presidential election.
