Intel Update - Dec. 13 - Welcome to the Party

//The Wire//2300Z December 12, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: BULGARIAN PM RESIGNS AMID MASS PROTESTS AND CIVIL UNREST. WARTIME PREPARATIONS CONTINUE IN CARIBBEAN. MULTIPLE VIOLENT ATTACKS REPORTED AROUND THE UNITED STATES.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Caribbean: Wartime preparations continue as before on all sides. The United States continues to bolster forces throughout the region, slowly increasing the military presence at US installations on islands adjacent to Venezuela. Maduro&apos;s forces continue to fortify and harden defensive positions as best they can, which is mostly taking the form of defensive exercises and the widening of a slightly more organized Civil Defense effort to arm the populace to fight the United States in the event of invasion. Analyst Comment: A few days ago, one of Maduro&apos;s main political opponents, María Corina Machado, was smuggled out of the country secretly to attend the ceremonies accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. This also had many side benefits: One of Maduro&apos;s opponents being thrust back into the international limelight by the United States is a necessary step in regime change. And also, having a prospective replacement for Maduro physically out of the country when the shooting starts is quite convenient. United Kingdom: A community Christmas Tree was vandalized after the tree lighting ceremony in Shotton Colliery last night. Local authorities state that someone cut down the tree with a chainsaw a few hours after the annual tree lighting ceremony in the common area adjacent to St. Saviour&apos;s Anglican Church.  Analyst Comment: The assailants have not been caught, however locals have a list of suspects in mind as the same &quot;youths&quot; were observed throwing objects at passing cars in the same general area over the past few days. The tree itself is also not a temporary tree brought in for the holidays, it&apos;s actually a WW1 Memorial that was planted years ago and is typically decorated for the holiday season. Bulgaria: Yesterday evening the government collapsed as Prime Minister Zhelezaykov resigned after months of protests. Last night a vote of no-confidence was scheduled to be held in Parliament (which also triggered widespread protests in the streets), however a few minutes before the vote the Prime Minister resigned. Analyst Comment: This effectively makes Bulgaria the latest government to fall to the Zoomer Uprising, the global trend of mostly younger citizens uprooting the old-guard from the seats of power. Where things head for Bulgaria right now is anyone&apos;s guess, but considering that Bulgaria is consistently labeled as the most corrupt nation in the EU (often by a wide margin), there will certainly be a lot of incentive to make radical changes over the next few months. -HomeFront- Georgia: Last night an chemical attack was conducted in Savannah, wounding one woman who was walking on the sidewalk near Forsyth Park last night. Ashley Wasielewski suffered 3rd degree burns when a man approached her from behind and poured an unidentified chemical on her. The suspect remains unknown and at large. Authorities have provided an extremely low resolution photo of the suspect, a black male who was last seen in the vicinity of the attack site. No further details have been provided on the attacker. New York: Yesterday a stabbing was reported at Macy&apos;s in Herald Square which involved a woman being attacked in a changing room by a random assailant. The woman was attending to her infant in the restroom on the 7th floor of the store, when the attacker (who was also in the restroom at the time) stabbed her multiple times. The victim&apos;s husband, who was waiting outside, entered the restroom and reports vary regarding what happened next. Some sources claim the husband detained the assailant until authorities arrived, whereas other sources claim the attacker egressed from the area before being

//The Wire//2300Z December 11, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: AUSTRALIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW COMES INTO EFFECT. ARRESTS MADE IN LAST WEEK&apos;S STABBING ATTACK IN CHARLOTTE.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Australia: Yesterday Australia&apos;s Age Verification law came into effect for most websites, effectively blocking the vast majority of social media to the entire nation, unless users upload a scan of their face to prove that they are over 16 years old, and thus allowed to be on social media. Caribbean: The tanker vessel seized by the United States yesterday has been identified as the M/T *SKIPPER*, one of the infamous &quot;shadow fleet&quot; vessels which is used to smuggle oil around the world. The *SKIPPER* was her most recent name change, and at the time of capture she was flying the flag of Guyana (though her registration status is dubious at best). As of this afternoon, AIS ship tracking platforms noted her position being just off the east coast of St. Lucia, heading north at around 10 kts. -HomeFront- North Carolina: More details have come to light regarding the stabbing attack that took place on the Blue Line commuter train in Charlotte last week. Back on December 5th, a stabbing was reported on the train, with the assailant eventually being arrested. At the time of the incident, the attacker was not identified, but after a few days authorities said the attacker was Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who had multiple warrants out for past violent crimes, to include aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Analyst Comment: From here, the situation takes a rather unfortunate turn. Solorzano stabbed a man on the train, who was hospitalized with severe wounds. Earlier this week, the victim was identified as Kenyon Dobie, and was lauded as a hero during the attack because of his efforts to confront the attacker to stop him from harassing other commuters. Dobie did intervene, and prevented the attacker from bothering other passengers, which resulted in him getting stabbed in the process. However, after this news story hit the local media, and the victim made statements in front of the camera, Dobie (the victim) was arrested. Turns out, he had open warrants for his own arrest for beating a pregnant woman so severely she received skull fractures during a domestic dispute. Both Solorzano and Dobie are being held in jail due to Iryna&apos;s Law preventing their release. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comment: Unlike many other cases of Digital ID being mandated around the world, Australia has implemented even more dystopian procedures to take effect during this rollout. Of note, the social media platforms which are known to cause extreme harm to children (such as Discord and Roblox) are exempt from the social media ban. However, the platforms that are affected, are impacted in very specific ways. As one might expect, VPNs are popular ways to circumvent such crackdowns on speech. However, the IP addresses associated with VPNs are public record, so social media companies can easily blacklist those IPs, effectively making VPNs useless for evading the ban. At least some platforms have been observed using these blacklists (but not all). For those in the United Kingdom wondering about how their own Digital ID scandal will play out, this might be a clue; Australia is providing a case study for what a more totalitarian crackdown on communications throughout the global West might look like. How serious platforms are taking this plan is anyone&apos;s guess, and reports vary widely. Some users report no issues whatsoever with being prompted to verify their age, whereas others have reported every app they have now requiring a face scan. Some users report that they can simply put in a false date of birth with no verification at all, and others report their accounts being hard-locked even though the mandate does

//The Wire//2300Z December 10, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: USA SEIZES TANKER VESSEL OFF COAST OF VENEZUELA. VANDALISM ATTACKS AND INCIDENTS REPORTED AT CHURCHES AND CHRISTMAS MARKETS AROUND EUROPE.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Caribbean: This afternoon the White House announced the seizure of a tanker vessel off the coast of Venezuela. No details were provided on the name or registration of the vessel yet, however President Trump stated that the operation was a joint venture between the US Coast Guard and the US Navy. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - This morning President Trump&apos;s Gold Card program to sell US citizenship officially went live, with the White House stating at least one individual has successfully purchased entry into the program.  -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Several vandalism reports have been observed at various Nativity scenes at churches throughout Europe over the past few days as the general crackdown on Christianity continues during the Christmas season. In the U.K. this morning, several residents received letters informing them that Christmas decorations are banned at apartment buildings in Portsmouth, continuing the trend from years past. As one might expect, festivity operations are underway in Portsmouth, as residents put up the largest possible Christmas wreaths on their doors to openly defy this policy. Other than the tightening grip on Christianity in the form of local regulations, more kinetic incidents have also been reported. Last week, pro-Palestine protesters disrupted the opening of a Christmas Market in Vienna, targeting the Market with smoke devices and generally causing disruptions. Yesterday, Palestinian activists desecrated a Nativity in the old town district of Brussels. Graffiti was spray painted and various parts of the scene were damaged. This follows a major pro-Palestine protest disrupting the opening ceremony of the Christmas Market just a short distance away, also in Brussels.  A little over a week ago, a more disturbing attack took place in Erbach, Germany where the Nativity featured in the town was a Living Nativity that hosted live animals for attendants to see. Two donkeys (Max and Lilly) were wounded by assailants who destroyed not only the Nativity itself, but also broke into a nearby church, causing damage there as well. A local who saw the donkeys being harmed intervened and halted the attack before the assailants egressed from the area. Max and Lilly survived the attack and have been relocated back to their farm to recover. The attackers have not been identified, however local reports assess that it was probably the same group of people who vandalized the nearby church, and also caused disruptions at the town Christmas Market, with all of these incidents taking place at around the same time. As such, if local police are interested in finding these attackers, it would not be hard to do so; they have conducted several different vandalism attacks in the same place at around the same time of day, several days in a row. More broadly, all of these incidents highlight the need for increased vigilance and awareness. It is true, we shouldn&apos;t have to live like this. But in the meantime (before more tough decisions are allowed to be made) this is the kind of thing we have to be aware of. It&apos;s not something to be downtrodden about either; on the contrary, now the average person has increasing opportunities to stop harm and do good things as the opposition becomes more plainly known. These problems won&apos;t be solved overnight, but with every passing day we all have the chance to do what we can to stop the harm from befalling the innocent. Even if it&apos;s just one (or two) donkeys at a time. Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

These problems won&amp;apos;t be solved overnight, but with every passing day we all have the chance to do what we can to stop the harm from befalling the innocent. Even if it&amp;apos;s just one (or two) donkeys at a time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Analyst: S2A1&lt;br/&gt;Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground&lt;br/&gt;Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.&lt;br/&gt;//END REPORT//&lt;/p&gt;</description>

//The Wire//2300Z December 9, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CONFLICT CONTINUES IN ASIA. HIGH-PROFILE MIGRANT CRIMES INCREASE TENSIONS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. ONE STUDENT KILLED IN STABBING AT NC HIGH SCHOOL. SHOOTING REPORTED AT KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Southeast Asia: The war between Thailand and Cambodia continues as before, with a few escalations of the conflict occurring overnight. Cambodia has continued rocket attacks, and Thailand has continued shelling random locations in the disputed border region. Thailand struck a few cultural sites and temples in Cambodia yesterday afternoon, with Thai forces also deploying some armored units to the Cambodian side of the border. Analyst Comment: At the moment this is a continuation of the same style of warfare that is often common throughout the third world; both sides conducting massive airstrikes and bombing campaigns, but very few casualties being the result. This is basically an international slap fight where the only real casualties are civilians, which have far outweighed the casualties sustained by combatants on either side so far. Despite the very low ratio of combat deaths to munitions dropped, the fighting this time around is more intense than when the conflict flared up a few months ago, so this conflict does have the potential to get more serious as time goes on. United Kingdom: Tensions remain palpably high following over a dozen high-profile migrant crimes coming to light over the past few days. In the Midlands, 2x Afghans were convicted of brutally assaulting a 15-year-old in a public park in an incident which the authorities have openly admitted to covering up due to civil unrest potential (the suspects&apos; own defense attorney stated that if the video of their attack were to be made public, it would spark a riot). Separately, a different Afghan migrant (identified as Sultani Bakatash) assaulted two girls in Manchester a few days ago. Analyst Comment: Over the weekend, it was also discovered that the wife and children of the current leader of ISIS in Somalia lives in taxpayer-funded housing in Slough, which has inflamed tensions further. Abdul Qadir Mumin was known for encouraging terrorism throughout the U.K. before fleeing to Somalia around a decade ago, leaving his wife and children behind while he wages jihad with about a thousand fighters in Somalia. Mumin was (and still is) a highly-sought target, who the United States has conducted kinetic strikes on several times. Back in 2024, there was speculation that he was killed during a strike in Somalia, however this has been proven to be incorrect over time and his official status remains unknown. This is why there is outrage over this case; this guy is not an ordinary street fighter...he&apos;s the actual leader of the ISIS branch for Somalia. The family members that remain in taxpayer-funded housing actually knew of his terrorism-encouraging speeches (he was legendary for these talks before he fled the country). He escaped to Somalia, but his family stayed behind in the UK to receive benefits. -HomeFront- Georgia: State Rep. Sharon Henderson was arrested and indicted on charges of fraud pertaining to her activities during the COVID era. Rep. Henderson is accused of falsifying her employment status so as to obtain special benefits that were made available to those who were forced out of a job due to COVID. In order to get these benefits, she allegedly claimed to be a schoolteacher after actually leaving the job to campaign for the seat that she currently occupies. North Carolina: This afternoon a stabbing was reported at North Forsyth High School, which prompted a lockdown of the local area. Concerning casualties, one student was killed in the attack. Analyst Comment: At the time of this report, this is a developing story so the details will change. Right now it looks like thi
