Global watch
Global watch
International security, shipping and chokepoints, and energy supply — carried for context and for the supply and price effects that reach the United States later. National first, global second: developments elsewhere are a clearly marked secondary section covering what may reach Americans later.

How the world is divided up
Tier 1, Tier 2
Americas & Caribbean
Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti and Nicaragua coverage, taken at Tier 1 and Tier 2 only — US agency records and allied-government notices.
State media on this region must not stand alone. A Cuban, Russian or Venezuelan framing is carried, if at all, as a single labelled claim beside a Tier 1 or Tier 2 record.
Tier 1
Federal Records & Accountability
Entry-level primaries: the filing, the docket, the enforcement release and the audit report. These are the records a federal accountability item is written from.
A record shows what an agency did and when. It states no motive, and nothing is inferred from a document that has not been published.
Tier 1
Land, Wildlife & Tribal
Federal and state land, wildlife and tribal records: the earthquake catalogue, park and forest orders, state game and fish agencies, tribal affairs, satellite fire detections, convective outlooks and radiation monitoring.
Issued by region, forest, park or station, so a national summary is never enough. A satellite detection is a pass over hot ground, not a confirmed event.
Tier 2
Measurement & Verification
Datasets that measure rather than report, used to check a claim against something counted.
Measurement, not reporting: these show that something happened, never why. NetBlocks is already carried in this register and is the same category — measurement rather than reporting.
Tier 1
Cyber Reference
The reference layer beneath the CISA KEV alert layer this console already carries.
A reference defines and scores. It does not report an incident, and a score is not evidence of exploitation.
Tier 1, Tier 2
Territorial & Sovereignty Records
U.S. Congress bill records and the Congressional Record, the Federal Register, State Department statements, Danish and Greenlandic government releases, Panamanian government releases, and the primary treaty texts governing the Panama Canal. Tier 1 for the government and treaty records.
Illustrative maps and social-media posts circulating on this subject are not government documents and must never be treated as one. No publisher in this group carries a feed slug, so none of them is polled or health-measured here.
How global items are carried
Wars and cross-border events carried for context and for the supply and price effects that reach Wyoming and Montana months later.
In force now, and secondary to the regional desk by design. State media on any region must not stand alone: a state-media framing is carried, if at all, as a single labelled claim beside a Tier 1 or Tier 2 record. See the editorial standards and the source directory.
