Hurricane Ernesto Forecast Discussion
000 WTNT45 KNHC 160234 TCDAT5 Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 1100 PM AST Thu Aug 15 2024 Ernesto has been strengthening this evening. Data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the minimum pressure has fallen to about 968 mb, and a blend of the peak flight-level and SFMR winds support increasing the initial intensity to 85 kt. This makes Ernesto a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Ernesto has a ragged eye and a large wind field, with the highest winds occurring in the northeast quadrant. Ernesto is moving north-northeastward at 12 kt in the flow between a high pressure system over the central Atlantic and a large-scale trough off the U.S. east coast. This general motion is expected to continue for the next day or two, bringing the hurricane near or over Bermuda on Saturday. Around that time, the trough is expected to lift out, leaving Ernesto in weaker steering currents. As a result, a slower and likely more erratic motion to the north or north-northeast is forecast over the weekend. Another trough is expected to approach the cyclone late in the weekend, and that should cause an accelerated motion to the northeast near or east of Atlantic Canada early next week. The NHC track forecast is a touch to the east and a little slower than the previous one through its passage near Bermuda to come into better agreement with the latest consensus aids. It seems likely that Ernesto will strengthen some more during the next 12 to 24 hours as it is expected to remain in conducive environmental conditions of low wind shear, upper-level diffluence, a relatively moist airmass, and over warm waters during that time. Thereafter, increasing vertical wind shear and gradually cooler waters should cause a slow weakening trend. However, baroclinic influences could offset some of the weakening, which is why the official forecast shows little change in strength during the 48- to 72-hour time frame. Ernesto is forecast to complete extratropical transition by day 5, when it will likely be embedded within the mid-latitude westerlies. The NHC intensity forecast lies near the high end of the guidance, in best agreement with the HCCA model. Key Messages: 1. Ernesto is moving toward Bermuda, and it is expected to bring a prolonged period of strong winds and storm surge on Bermuda from Friday afternoon through Saturday night. A hurricane warning is in effect for the island, and preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. 2. Rainfall associated with Ernesto is expected to begin to affect Bermuda overnight and may result in flash flooding Friday through this weekend. 3. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore the U.S. East Coast, swells generated by the hurricane are expected to affect the area through the weekend. Beach goers should be aware of a significant risk of life-threatening surf and rip currents, and stay out of the water if advised by lifeguards. Surf and rip currents are also possible on the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada during the next few days.

U.S. Expands Bird Flu Testing For Beef
by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:
The United States ruling class is going to be expanding bird flu testing for beef. As part of its totalitarian response to the ongoing avian influenza outbreak among dairy cattle, the United States Department of Agriculture has announced the testing of beef entering the food supply.
When mass testing is conducted, much like during the COVID-19 scamdemic, more cases were found and diagnosed whether humans were sick or not.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
Bird Flu Could Be About To Enter The “Mass Testing” Phase
According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, USDA officials, in a call with reporters along with staff from other U.S. ruling class “health” agencies, said the testing will begin in mid-September and urged livestock workers to remain vigilant.
The Overhyped Threat of a Human Bird Flu Pandemic is a Hoax to “Reset” Our Food System
Considering the ruling class continues to blame meat, meat eaters, and the cattle’s methane farts for climate change, it isn’t really a surprise that the bird flu is magically in cows. This is shaping up to be a war on the food supply, and the proper human food at that.
Climate Crisis Activists Seek To Put Meat On Their List Of Banned “Fossil Fuel” Adverts
The USDA in May tested 109 beef samples from dairy cows sent to slaughter and found bird flu virus particles in one cow’s tissue sample. Older dairy cattle are often slaughtered for meat.
Eric Deeble, an undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs, told reporters that the USDA is confident with the current level of testing conducted by the nation’s dairy farmers.
“I do feel that the response is adequate,” he said. –Jerusalem Post
How much longer until the ruling class suggests we stop drinking milk and eating beef? And then how much time do we have until it’s outright banned? Perhaps this won’t happen, but we are going down the slippery slope right now the we already were on back in 2020. This time, the best source of nutrition for human beings is on the line.

CIA Sees Kursk Raid As Having ‘Punctured The Hubris’ Of Putin
President Joe Biden said this week that he was in “constant contact” with the Ukrainians related to the ongoing invasion of Kursk oblast. “I’ve spoken with my staff on a regular basis probably every four or five hours for the last six or eight days,” Biden told reporters about the fighting in Kursk, which is now at a week-and-a-half.
“And it’s — it’s creating a real dilemma for Putin. And we’ve been in direct contact — constant contact with — with the Ukrainians,” he added. “That’s all I’m going to say about it while it’s active.”
From the start, US officials have acted like they were in the dark the whole time as to Ukraine’s plans, likely for the purpose of plausible deniability and so Kiev isn’t seen by Moscow as having been directly backed by NATO in the brazen cross-border operation.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby had initially said on Friday, “We’re in touch with our Ukrainian counterparts, and we are working to gain a better understanding of what they’re doing, what their goals are, what their strategy is, and I’m going to leave a little bit of space for us to have those conversations before I try to characterize what’s going on.”
But on Thursday there are the following interesting lines from the NY Times pointing out that top US officials have been quick to boast about how the operation has dealt a blow to the “hubris” of Putin:
The operation itself will not drive Russia to the bargaining table, according to U.S. officials. Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, has pledged not to negotiate while Ukraine occupies Russia, and American officials said he should be taken at his word.
But in public speeches, the C.I.A. director, William J. Burns, has spoken about the need to puncture the hubris of Mr. Putin. Russia will not make any concessions, he has said, until Mr. Putin’s overconfidence is challenged and Ukraine shows strength on the battlefield.
The Times also proclaims that this operation has embarrassed Putin and exposed weaknesses. And US officials further say that the fight is about to get a lot dirtier and more risky, in expectation of future sabotage and cross-border campaigns.
“American officials say Ukraine will have to build on the operation, with other daring operations that can push back against Russia’s sense that its victory is inevitable,” writes NY Times. “Whether that will include more cross-border incursions, secret sabotage missions or other yet-to-be-planned operations remains to be seen.”
These future operations might involve use of US-supplied equipment, just like with the current Kurks mission: “The lack of warning to Kyiv’s foremost Western ally took on even greater meaning when it became clear that Ukraine was using American-supplied vehicles, arms and munitions to help carry out the bold ground operation into Russia,” the report continues.

— Preston Stewart (@prestonstew_) August 15, 2024
Politico is meanwhile separately reporting that the Biden administration is now “open” to providing Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles, which would be “a move that would give Kyiv’s F-16s greater combat punch as it seeks to gain further momentum in its fight against Russia,” according to the publication.
Ukrainian operations and heavy fighting have also reportedly spread to the Belgorod region. Kiev continues to tout ‘victories’ – including the capture of another 100 Russian soldiers on Thursday. Dramatic accounts like the following continue to come out in Western publications:
A Ukrainian soldier who participated in the first forays of last week’s Kursk incursion said his unit caught Russian troops completely by surprise as the latter were having coffee. His account, published by The Financial Times, adds to a chorus of assessments that Russia had been unprepared and blindsided by Ukraine’s rare cross-border attack on August 6.
The FT wrote that the soldier, identified as Volodymyr, was part of a unit operating a US-provided Stryker armored fighting vehicle.
Volodymyr told the outlet that his unit entered Kursk in the late morning of August 6, and soon found a group of Russian troops “sitting in the forest, drinking coffee at a table.”
“Then our Stryker drives right into their table,” he said, per the FT. “We killed many of them on the first day. Because they were unarmed and didn’t expect us,” he added.
More mass surrenders of Russians in Kursk. https://t.co/UMcumnK8iG
— Jay in Kyiv (@JayinKyiv) August 15, 2024
And now Zelensky has opened a new administrative center in Ukraine. “Ukraine solidified its control over the parts of Russia’s Kursk region it has taken in a 10-day offensive, announcing Thursday the appointment of a military commander to manage the area as well as new battlefield successes,” The Washington Post writes.
The cross-border assault has unfolded over the past ten days, with Ukrainian officials recently floating a plan to hold territory inside Russia as a “buffer zone”. However, Russia has been sending heavy manpower to the region, as well as aerial power.

MARLOW: Dem Voters Back Harris for Her ‘Vibe’, Not Accomplishments
Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow pointed out that Democrats’ reasons for supporting Vice President Kamala Harris for president consisted of her “vibe,” and her being “good for women.”
During an interview on the Charlie Kirk Show, Marlow referred to a video in which Frontlines reporter Kalen D’Almeida questioned several supporters of Harris at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, and asked them what Harris’s accomplishments were. Marlow noted that among the reasons listed as to why people were supporting Harris, none of the people listed a “single accomplishment.”
“What Kamala Harris’s greatest accomplishment has been as VP?” D’Almeida asked one man.
“Uhm, I mean honestly, I’m not too into politics, I’m just here for the vibe,” the man answered.
A second man stated, “Becoming the first female vice president.”
“So, becoming, just becoming the vp is the best accomplishment?” D’Almeida asked, to which the person responded, “Yeah, absolutely.”
“Being a good person,” a woman told D’Almeida, to which another woman agreed and added that Harris seems “really good for women.”
“Harris is there with the energy, she has a lot of enthusiasm, so it’s important to get behind her,” the second guy added.
Marlow interjected to point out that “so far” voters had stated they supported Harris for her “vibe,” because she was “good for women,” and that she “won the vice presidency.”
“So far, we’ve got vibe, so the main thing is she’s got a good vibe. She’s good for women, which presumably means she likes abortions. I don’t know if it’s necessarily good for women, how she rose to the top. People like her, so she’s got enthusiasm, which is, a lot of this is astroturfed by the media. Which is – recall, she didn’t even make it to Iowa in the 2020 primary – and that she won the vice presidency, which you know, some of you in the audience might not think that that is a great accomplishment for a number of reasons. So far, that’s it. Not a single accomplishment. She’s got a great vibe and she won.”
When asked about their favorite policies from Harris, one lady admitted that she wished she knew “more about” Harris’s policies.
“My favorite policies, oh my gosh,” one lady said. “See, I wish they would tell us more about that because I honestly don’t know. I know she’s done some good work with immigration even though they say opposite.”
“What do they say?” D’Almeida asked.
“Well, what is it, she’s the ‘border czar’,” the lady answered, mockingly, as she seemed to assume the right would. “And, it’s her fault that all these immigrants are coming over, you know, to cross the border right now, which I don’t think they are.”
One person stated that they did not think there was “an issue with the border at all,” while admitting that “illegal immigrants are coming to America.” The person stated that they feel America is about “letting people come in and do what they’d like.”
“Yeah, I feel like yes, illegal immigrants are coming to America, but that’s what America’s all about, is to come to America and live that American dream,” the person explained to D’Almeida. “Because America isn’t just for the whites, it’s not just for the blacks, it’s not just for the Mexicans. It’s for everyone around the world, we’re supposed to be a country of letting people come in and do what they’d like. I mean, I understand that they say the border crisis is causing all these drug issues and it’s causing crime, but in my opinion, there’s crime everywhere. You can go to New York, you can go to Canada, you can go anywhere across the world and there’s going to be crime regardless.”
“We’re seeing record levels of citizenship for immigrants – that are being announced by Democrats,” Marlow interjected. “Now, I’m all fine with immigration if it is for people we know are going to be helping the country. That’s not what we’re getting right now. We’re getting illegal immigration and then we’re getting people getting fast tracked, then they and their progeny become Democrats. That’s the goal. That’s what we’re seeing. That is the immigration policy of the [Biden-Harris administration.] These people are acting as though they’re not sure there’s an illegal immigration crisis, [and] that is an indictment of our media.”

53-year-old UK ‘keyboard warrior’ gets 15-month jail term for Facebook post saying ‘blow the mosque up’ after riots over murdered school girls
A 53-year-old woman in the UK has been jailed for 15 months after posting a Facebook comment in a community group that read “Blow the mosque up with the adults in it. She reportedly lived a “quiet, sheltered” life as the primary caretaker of her disabled husband.
Julie Sweeney pleaded guilty to sending a communication to convey a threat of death or serious harm, per The Guardian. In response to a photo of people cleaning up an area affected by the protests-turned-riots in Southport after three young school girls were stabbed to death by the son of Rwandan immigrants, she commented, “It’s absolutely ridiculous. Don’t protect the mosques. Blow the mosque up with the adults in it.”
The judge presiding over the case stated: “You should have been looking at the news and media with horror like every right-minded person. Instead, you chose to take part in stirring up hatred. You had a big audience. You threatened a mosque … It truly was a terrible threat.”
He added that “so-called keyboard warriors have to learn to take responsibility for their language – particularly in the context of the disorder that was going on around the country,” and told Sweeney “even people like you need to go to prison.”
Sweeney’s defense attorney told the court “This was a single comment on a single day. She lives a quiet, sheltered life in Cheshire and has not troubled the courts in her long life. Her character references show she lives a kind and compassionate lifestyle.” He added his client had accepted that what she wrote was wrong.
Her husband had also written a “heart-rending” letter to the judge to no avail and Sweeney was sentenced to 25 months in jail on Thursday. This comes after the UK declared that a dedicated team of authorities would be monitoring social media platforms for any materials deemed to be “inciting racial hatred” and would charge those who even comment or repost materials. Last week a man was jailed for posting emojis depicting minorities and a gun on Facebook. Another man was jailed for 3 years for copying and pasting a quote from the wife of a Tory councilor that was critical of mass migration.

Biden-Harris falter on promise to help Panama stem flow of migrants through Darien Gap
The Panamanian government expressed frustrations about the Biden-Harris administration faltering on its promise to help the country stop the flow of migrants traveling through the Darien Gap, which is home to the main passageway used by migrants heading to the United States from South America.
President Jose Raul Mulino said during a press brief last week that the Biden-Harris administration has not provided the financial assistance they promised for repatriation flights. Unlike prior government leadership, Mulino has remained steadfast in his mission to thwart the flow of migrants passing through the dangerous Darien Gap.
But Mulino said he can’t do this without the aid that the Biden-Harris administration promised, as reported by Reuters. “The ball is in their court, we have done everything we can do,” said Mulino. “Their border is in Panama, not in Texas,” he added.
The official stated that the absence of American follow-through is likely “political,” but it has become increasingly urgent in response to a new wave of Venezuelans, who have been among the highest population of migrants crossing through Panama for an extended period, and are currently escaping a new round of political violence.
Panama aims to significantly increase the number of Venezuelans who are expelled by air to Colombia in order to “alter their perspective” and discourage them from undertaking the perilous journey. However, the Panamanian official stated that his nation cannot continue to operate independently any longer.
“We understand that we need logistical support to reinforce the expulsion of migrants…so we can avoid the movement and the normal flow to the United States. We need to change the migration politics of the border of the United States so we can send a very clear message to the migrants,” said a senior government official, per the NYP.
Given the current unrest in Venezuela and the measly $6 million the White House reportedly promised Panama for air expulsions, critics argue the delay in funds is inexcusable. This is because Panama is finally willing to curb US-bound immigration.
