Serbia has placed its security troops on the border with Kosovo in “the full state of combat readiness”, ignoring Nato’s calls for calm between the two wartime Balkan foes.
Serbia’s interior minister Bratislav Gasic said he “ordered the full combat readiness” of police and other security units, and that they are placed under the command of the army chief of staff according to “their operational plan”.
He said in a statement on Monday that he acted on the orders of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic so that “all measures be taken to protect the Serbian people in Kosovo”.
The New Pandemic Tsunami In China Has Everyone Worried: No one is quite sure what is happening: Even the authorities say they don't know what the true numbers are! China’s hardline zero-Covid policy shielded its population until now—surging deaths projected by some studies to be as high as one million. So should the West be worrying and will it come our way once again as it did in early 2020?
For much of the early pandemic, China's hardline zero-Covid policy shielded its population from the kind of mass deaths that haunted Western nations – a contrast repeatedly driven home by the Communist Party to illustrate the supposed superiority of its rule. images of overflowing hospitals and busy funeral homes from the United States and other western countries featured heavily on China’s state-controlled television, where the deaths of over a million Americans from Covid are depicted as a gross failure of Western democracy.
Boogaloo 2022
"Our very future depended on being the ones who first seized ownership of space." “Control of space means control of the world,” Johnson declared. “From space, the masters of infinity would have the power to control the earth’s weather, to cause drought and flood, to change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the gulf stream and change temperate climates to frigid.” Vice President Johnson at Southwest Texas State University (1962).
The eruption of the volcano on Java island early on Sunday prompted tsunami fears in Japan. Indonesia’s highest volcano on its most densely populated island erupted early on Sunday, spewing a column of ash 1.5km into the air and prompting evacuations of residents from the eruption area.
Lava flowed down Semeru’s slopes, travelling toward a nearby river, while several villages were blanketed with falling ash, blocking out the sun, but no casualties have been reported.
A powerful magnitude 6.4 major quake (mag 6 or higher) rocked the West Coast of the US, approximately 200 miles North of San Francisco this lunchtime knocking out electricity to more than 50,000 people in Humboldt County. No tsunami warning has been issued. The shallow quake has been accompanied by more than 25 small to medium aftershocks, according to the USGS website.
As we move toward the end of 2022 today's major quake (mag 6 or higher) is the 4th of December and the 127th of 2022 which is slightly less than the average number of major quakes per year this century with just 11 days left of this year. At the same time, last year 154 major quakes had been reported by USGS worldwide.
Today it was particularly wonderful, a warm August sun, fanned with a cool southwesterly breeze, the birds were singing, the fish were jumping and the insects chirping and the walk itself gave me a double shot of happy endorphins, lifting my spirit for the day ahead.
It is hard to imagine that just a few hundred kilometers south of this paradise the gates of hell have opened for many of my European neighbours.
An anticyclone, ironically named Lucifer has parked its fat butt over the Mediterranean countries of Italy, Greece, and Spain causing Sicily to record the hottest temperature ever in Europe when the mercury hit 48.8 deg C, 120 deg F yesterday beating the 48 deg C which was recorded in Athens Greece, back in 1977.
Hurricanes and cyclones
Space weather
The sunspot group, AR 3112, one of the biggest sunspots in years is rotating and will be facing Earth in the coming days. According to SDO/HMI, the huge sunspot AR3112 has a delta-class magnetic field that poses a threat for possible dangerous X-class solar flares.The forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 03 October - 29 October 2022 Solar activity is expected, with M-class flares likely and a chance for X-class from 03-14 Oct and again from 18-29 Oct due to current active regions on the visible disk and returning active regions.
Manmade disasters
This morning Bill Laughing-Bear sent me a video from a lady (can I say "lady" these days?) YouTuber, Peggy Hall. Peggy Hall has dug up some rather incriminating evidence which points to the US government and US federal agencies being involved in weather manipulation and especially, cloud seeding and hurricane and wildfire manipulation. I will post Peggy's video below this post.
I wanted to bring these incriminating documents to our reader because, one of TBW's most prolific commentators on geoengineering and weather modification, our very own, sui generis, Hawkeye, has not contacted TBW for 17 days, since Hurricane Ian made landfall in her area of southwest Florida.
Climate Change
Europe is on track to suffer its worst drought in hundreds of years, with wildfires raging and some rivers running dry. Several countries have introduced emergency measures to save water, even the UK.
The Northern Hemisphere is moistureless—With droughts from California to China, I have never known a summer like this. Western Europe is parched as we enter the next heatwave with no rain in sight for August. The drought weather here in Holland started in the middle of Feb! Coincidently after three once-in-a-hundred-year storms in just one week! Ironically at that time many places in Ireland, the UK and many parts of Europe suffered horrendous flooding. Since then there has been no meaningful rainfall in the UK, and many parts of Europe.
Disease
With the war in Ukraine along with other disasters such as Covid-19 taking up much of the media it may come as a shock to many of you that at the moment the US is having another health crisis—Bird, or avian flue. More than 3% of the country's egg-laying chickens have died or been culled due to the fast-spreading disease—A total of nearly 20 million birds have died due to the highly pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) which began earlier this year. The supply crisis due to feed shortages caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine is expected to increase the supply shortages, which will push-up prices even higher.
Animal Die-Offs
Around 700 endangered seals have been found dead on Russia’s Caspian coast in the North Caucasus, local officials said Sunday.
Caspian seals, the only mammals found in the Caspian Sea, have been classified as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list since 2008.“The number of discovered animals may increase. The cause of death has yet to be determined,” the press service for the region’s fisheries agency said, according to Russian state media outlet TASS.
The seals washed up on the coast of Russia’s republic of Dagestan, along the Caspian Sea, the largest landlocked body of water in the world.
TASS said, “researchers had already started working on identifying the cause of the mammals’ deaths.”The news comes after more than 140 Caspian seals were found dead on Kazakh beaches of the Caspian Sea earlier this year, according to KASPIKA, an agency for the conservation of Caspian seals.
Environment
A small post about rocket launches posing an extinction-level threat to South Australia's tiny southern emu-wren caught my attention this morning in the Guardian. Conservationists are warning that a tiny southern emu-wren, under threat from rocket launches, could be listed as endangered within days. Conservationists say planned rocket launches on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia pose an extinction-level threat to the wren, one of Australia’s smallest birds.
As the Dixie fire in Butte County balloons in size, the Sugar fire burning in Plumas National Forest north of Sacramento has become the first 100,000-acre fire in California this year. The lightning-sparked Sugar fire ignited July 2 and quickly swelled in size as crews battled extreme temperatures and strong gusts of wind.
In the days that followed, spot fires and flareups made it difficult for firefighters to gain a footing on the blaze, officials said. At one point, it grew with such velocity that its massive cloud of smoke, ash, and heat generated its own lightning.

Dear Gary and Readers of The Big Wobble,
"We're not being monitored," Big Brother LOVES free speech and freedom of religion; he would NEVER infringe on our rights. Oh, what a lie!! I want to touch on what this Alaskan has been dealing with and how the U.S. Bill of Rights (Amendments 1 & 4) is being tromped on.
First, I will place before those of you who do not live in the United States our "Preamble to The Bill of Rights" that laid the foundation to what so many of us hold so dear.

A wonderful snap of Tropical Cyclone Two, off the coast of Aruba yesterday—The Tropical Storm is a fast-moving, low-pressure system that is expected to make landfall over Nicaragua tomorrow. The National Hurricane center no longer predicts the storm will develop into a hurricane.
Stay safe Petra xx
