Earthquake Swarms Off Pacific Coast Raising New Concerns
By Michael Snyder/End of the American Dream March 19, 2024
An area off the coast of Washington state is being shaken by hundreds and hundreds of earthquakes. So is this an indication of potential trouble for the Cascadia Subduction Zone?
At this point, there is so much that we don't know. Scientists are telling us that the quakes are centered around a large underwater volcano. The underwater volcano does not pose a threat at all, but if an enormous earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone were to trigger a giant tsunami that slams into the west coast, that would be a historic disaster of epic proportions.
The frequency of the earthquakes that we are witnessing off the coast of Washington is extremely alarming.
It is being reported that earlier this month there were "as many as 200 in a single hour"...
Scientists have detected a 'great swarm' of earthquakes off the coast of Washington clocking as many as 200 in a single hour during one day.
That is a lot of quakes!
According to one of the experts that has been monitoring this area, there were over 2,000 earthquakes in a single day...
"It's about 10 times as active as it normally is," said Jesse Hutchinson, a junior staff scientist with ONC, an ocean observation facility based at the University of Victoria.
He said more than 2,000 earthquakes had been detected in one day.
Why haven't we heard more about this?
If I was living on the west coast, I would definitely want this to be in the news.
We are being told that this "great swarm" of earthquakes potentially means that a "magmatic rupture" is imminent...
The 'great swarm' of earthquakes followed multiple days of increasingly frequent quakes, according to Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), which is collecting the data for researchers to study.
The spike indicated a possible 'impending magmatic rupture,' the research group reported.
A magmatic rupture, which occurs when the Earth's crust splits open for some reason and spills molten rock out, is a natural phenomena that can form new ocean floor, according to Zoe Krauss, a marine seismology PhD candidate at the University of Washington.
A "magmatic rupture" would not be a problem.
But what happens if this area continues to shake violently and eventually an extremely large earthquake is triggered along the Cascadia Subduction Zone?
As Popular Mechanics has accurately observed, that would create the sort of disaster that very few people would want to see...
In this case, there are two opposing forces: the North American Plate, an enormous tectonic plate that carries the entire continental United States on its back, versus the 90,000-square-mile Juan de Fuca Plate, located in the ocean off Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. These two have been squaring off in an epic wrestling match in an area known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone, or CSZ. Trust us, nobody wants to see the end of this round. Yet only a few people seem truly bothered: seismologists, emergency management professionals, and those who have experienced earthquakes before.
It's certain that the Northwest will experience a devastating earthquake again, says Chris Goldfinger, an oceanographer at Oregon State University and one of the world's leading experts on subduction zone earthquakes. "We have no idea of the timing and how urgent it is," Goldfinger tells Pop Mech. "People tend to ignore it in that case." The majority of the public, as well as most governments in the Northwest, aren't yet pushing to implement the extensive infrastructure changes and early-warning communications systems needed to save tens of thousands of lives.
Such an earthquake could potentially create a colossal tsunami that is hundreds of feet high.
A tsunami of that magnitude would cause destruction on a scale that most of us cannot even imagine right now.
In 2015, the former head of FEMA's Region X was quoted by the New Yorker as saying that "everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast"...
If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That's the very big one.
...By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA's Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, "Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast."
In the Pacific Northwest, everything west of Interstate 5 covers some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people.
It would be the greatest natural disaster in the entire recorded history of our nation up to that point.
Sadly, it is inevitable that great natural disasters will come. Our planet is becoming so unstable, and we are seeing very strange things happen all over the globe.
For example, very long and very deep cracks in the ground have started to appear in Libya...
Unusually large and deep earth cracks have suddenly appeared in an agricultural region south of Tripoli, causing alarm among the local population. In response, the Libyan government has initiated an investigation and dispatched a specialized geological team from the Ministry of Local Governance to conduct thorough surveys of the affected areas, particularly focusing on agricultural lands.
Parallelly, the Libyan Ministry of Environment and their Environmental Affairs Monitoring Department in "Al-Sbeea" are taking the lead in overseeing and documenting the ground cracks. This concerted effort aims to compile a detailed report, which will serve as a critical tool in understanding the origins, implications, and potential risks posed by the fissures.
And we have reached a stage where we are constantly witnessing unusual shaking all over the globe.
Just yesterday, a magnitude 3.8 earthquake rattled a very large area in northern Israel...
Residents of northern and central Israel reported feeling an earthquake on Wednesday, Israeli media reported.
The Geological Institute reported that the earthquake felt by northern residents had a magnitude of 3.8 on the Richter scale, and occurred at a depth of approximately 17 km.
There were reports that the earthquake was felt in Tiberias, the Jordan Valley, Karmiel, Haifa, and the Hadera area. Some felt the earthquake even further south in areas such as Rehovot and Modi'in.
Today, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that shook the Fukushima prefecture in Japan made lots of headlines...
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 hit eastern Japan early on Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The epicentre of the earthquake was off the coast of Fukushima prefecture, where strong tremors were recorded, the agency said, adding that a tsunami warning had not been issued.
The upcoming solar eclipse has raised concerns about potential catastrophic events, including seismic activity and natural disasters.
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon produces the tides, so it makes sense gravity could affect plate tectonics and potentially trigger earthquakes. With the upcoming solar eclipse, the Earth, Sun, and Moon will be all aligned and could potentially have it's greatest effect.
If I was living on the west coast, I would be watching what is happening very closely.

(WATCH) Mass fish mortality in the Florida Keys leaves experts baffled
As the end of the legislative session came to a close last week in Tallahassee, legislators added an item to the state budget that would fund research on a marine mystery developing in the Florida Keys.
If signed into the budget by the governor, $2 million will be allocated to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to “determine the scale and scope of the ongoing fish mortality and disease event in Biscayne Bay, Florida Bay, and the Florida Keys.”
Since Local 10 News’ report last week, the number of critically endangered smalltooth sawfish that have been recorded dead by FWC has risen to 21, and we have received a steady stream of videos from concerned residents in the Florida Keys.
Separately, more than a dozen fish species have been seen “spinning” and acting erratically.
“Now we don’t know if these two events are related,” Gil McCrae, the director of the FWC’s Fish and Wildlife Institute, explained to Local 10 Anchor and Environmental Advocate Louis Aguirre. “But we have the investigations and lines of inquiry going on right now.”
FWC says they have ruled out pathogens, bacterial infections and red tide toxins.
In a statement, the agency also added that “dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, and temperature are not suspected to be the cause of the fish behavior or kills.” That full statement can be read at the bottom of this article.
But officials aren’t the only ones investigating.
“Back in February of last year, I noticed that pinfish started behaving odd, like they were playing dead,” reflected Little Torch Key resident Gregg Furstenwerth. “And then some of them were spinning.”
For Furstenwerth, the Lower Keys are more than just a vacation spot. This is his home.
That’s why after he saw that first pinfish he pressed record, and hasn’t put down his camera since.
“And then come around November, I started seeing the behavior (the fish) start doing that again,” Furstenwerth said.
“At first, I was scared and now I’m just curious what the environment is going to turn into if this keeps on progressing.”
That curiosity is fueling both residents and tourists to document these bizarre behaviors from Key West, all the way north to Key Largo.
In a video posted Wednesday by the Ocean First Institute, the organization’s director of research and conservation, Chris Malinowski, expressed his shock and awe.

This LGBTQ meet up group is (secretly) taking Syracuse by storm
Updated: Mar. 20, 2024, 10:03 a.m.|Published: Mar. 20, 2024, 10:00 a.m.
By Melissa Newcomb | mnewcomb@syracuse.com
Kevin Bailey sat inside an empty Yeti Frozen Yogurt and Cafe on Westcott Street with a bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of him and stared at the door.
It was cold and raining outside and it was only supposed to get worse.
Bailey was hosting an LBGTQ social event at the cafe. He’d been asked by the owner a day earlier if he wanted to cancel because of the forecast.
He said no. Now he was wondering if he made the wrong decision.
Finally, a friend texted him and told him he was on his way with a few others; a glimmer of hope that the event wouldn’t be a “total flop,” as Bailey called it.
His friends walked in. Then another group right behind them.
“I thought to myself, ‘oh thank god,’” Bailey said, as more people arrived.
In all, more than 50 people showed up -- the group’s biggest cafe meeting to date. Bailey, who lives in the Westcott neighborhood, said he’s never seen Yeti so busy.
Bailey is an organizer of the Syracuse Guerilla Gay Bar and Cafe with fellow co-organizers Ariel Servadio and A.C. Butler. It’s not really a bar or a cafe. It’s a roaming group that brings its buying power to a different location each month.
Syracuse Guerilla Gay Bar and Cafe is a social group that brings the LBGTQ community together twice a month. The location of each meetup is kept a secret until the day of the event.
This month’s cafe meet-up was at Yeti. The bar meet-up is next Thursday, but you’ll have to wait to find out where that one will be. Previous months were at Willow Rock Brewery, Three Lives Bar and Nobody’s.
The secretive nature of the events is part of an effort to show Syracuse business owners the unexpected economic impact the LGBTQ community can have and equally surprise locals when they all show up together.
“It’s funny to watch the regular customers at these places catch on that something is up,” longtime attendee Gary Fitzgerald said. “We want to have the exposure with the general public where they can see we aren’t odd creatures with three eyes, we’re just people too.”
The bar events typically pull an even larger crowd of over 100 attendees and the group is continuing to grow each month.
Last month’s cafe meet-up was at Sweet Praxis, a downtown bakery and cafe. The owner, Jennifer Walls, said the group packed her bakery. Her staff happily stayed an hour past their closing time to accommodate the group.
“It was a fun, energetic, sweet group,” Wall said. “And we definitely had a boost in sales. Our team also got a ton of extra tips that day.”
Some people from Ithaca, Rochester, Binghamton and even New York City attend the events. The organization has inspired people in other cities to start similar groups, including one in Burlington, Vermont.
Some members of the Syracuse LGBTQ community say the events mean more to them than just the lighthearted gathering that shows on the surface. The events have given them their close friends and validation.
“Being queer in Syracuse, because of the lack of spaces that we can gather in, it can feel pretty isolating and lonely,” Deb Salisbury said. “It’s wonderful to walk into the room at an event and see that there are a lot of other people like me.
There will be more events coming in the future. Bailey and his co-organizers are currently rebranding the Syracuse Guerilla Gay Bar and Cafe to Guerilla Gay Events.
He plans to start a queer professional networking group that would be a monthly happy hour.
“This started eight years ago when a few of us got together over beers and asked ‘where are all of the gay people in Syracuse?’ and to see this group has been able to answer that question in a big way has been amazing,” Bailey said.
If you are interested in attending next week’s bar event, you can sign up for the email list here to be given the location when it is released.

UK conditions Israel arms sales on prison visits to Hamas terrorists
Israeli officials say feel Washington nudging Western allies to pressure Jerusalem as Biden administration faces electoral headwinds for support of Gaza campaign
Itamar Eichner|02:09
Britain, considered perhaps the second most Israel-friendly nation after the U.S., has demanded that Israel allow Red Cross or diplomatic visits to the detained terrorists of Hamas elite Nukhba force, as part of the conditions for continuing arms supplies to Israel.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron also warned Israeli officials that Europe might impose a weapons embargo on Israel if the current situation persists.
The threat comes on the heels of Canada's decision to impose an arms embargo on Israel over its alleged violations of international law in its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip
Israel does not purchase arms from Canada, nor has Canada purchased Israeli weapons in the past decade, making this move purely symbolic. However, since the outbreak of the war, Canada has withheld the sale of 11 armored vehicles to Israel Police and prevented the shipment of night vision equipment to the IDF.
Israeli officials fear a domino effect following Ottawa's decision, viewed as a very friendly nation, potentially leading other countries to follow suit.
<< Follow Ynetnews on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | TikTok >>
The British demand for allowing visits to Nukhba terrorists held in detention arises against reports of Israel's refusal to let the Red Cross visit Hamas detainees under particularly strict conditions.
A team of British lawyers visited Israel earlier this month. Britain claims that Israel's actions contravene international law, which mandates sharing a list of detainees with the Red Cross or another international organization and allowing their visits. However, Israel opposes such visits, arguing that international law permits refusal due to security exceptions.
A senior government official warned that a pandemic of sanctions against Israel could erupt and spread globally as it is fighting to prevent more such adverse resolutions.
Officials say there's a feeling that the U.S. is nudging its Western allies to pressure Israel on sanctions against violent settlers and on humanitarian issues, including claims of famine in Gaza.
The Biden administration is conveying to Israel its electoral distress due to the upcoming November presidential elections, the official says. They differentiate between rhetoric and substance, linking issues in Gaza with broader regional tensions involving the Houthis, Hezbollah and potentially Iran.
A high-ranking political figure shared that there was concern on the Israeli side early in the war about losing international support. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu then said if necessary, they would fight with Czech weapons to achieve their goal.
Despite shifting public opinion, there was significant behind-the-scenes support, extending their timeframe beyond expectations. Now, the real pressure comes from the U.S. elections, with Germany, Britain and France aligning as usual.
As the campaign in Gaza progresses, Israel’s alliances seem to be unwinding. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed opposition to an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah, surprising many.
Additionally, Hungary and the Czech Republic, traditionally Israel-friendly within the EU and vetoers against anti-Israel initiatives, have withdrawn their objections to sanctions on supposed violent settlers. When Israeli officials discussed this with their Czech and Hungarian counterparts, the response was, "What can we do? If the U.S. imposes sanctions, we can't say no."
A senior political source explained Israel's shifting alliances, suggesting a lack of consultation on ground actions and post-conflict plans raises concerns. Allies fear Netanyahu is using the situation to maintain power and face pressure due to their pro-Palestinian public opinion.
Italy recently announced a halt in arms sales to Israel since October 7, complying with laws against selling weapons to conflict zones.
A Dutch court stopped F-35 spare parts transfers, but the Dutch government is seeking to reverse this decision.
Since 2006, Belgium has banned weapon sales to Israel, with the Wallonia region recently extending this prohibition to Israeli security industries, even when the end customer is not Israel. Belgium's business leaders have also declared a ban on security trade with Israel through Belgium.
A senior government official expressed concern over the potential for a broader arms embargo but noted that Israel has managed without such support in the past, referencing the country's resilience during the 1948 War of Independence in face of an international arms embargo.

A “Massive Altar” For The Red Heifer Sacrifice Has Been Constructed In Israel
March 20, 2024 by Michael
Since the time of Moses, only nine red heifers have been sacrificed. Now, a “massive altar” for the tenth red heifer sacrifice has been built in Israel, and there is a tremendous amount of speculation that it could happen soon. In September 2022, five red heifers were flown from the state of Texas to the land of Israel. Since that time, one of them has been disqualified, but the other four continue to be candidates for a red heifer sacrifice. As I discussed last week, there was “a practice run of the purification ceremony” in 2023. But an official ceremony must be conducted before the heifers get too old to be used for such a sacrifice.
So will a red heifer be sacrificed in Israel in 2024?
According to CBS News, a “massive altar” has already been constructed. In the video that I have embedded below, you can see footage of this altar starting at the two minute mark…
I was absolutely floored when I first saw that.
A red heifer sacrifice would need to happen on the Mount of Olives, and the land where the sacrifice would take place is owned by Rabbi Yitshak Mamo…
According to those working on the project, the ceremony of the red heifer needs to be performed on the Mount of Olives, and in a place that would have looked directly into where the Temple stood. The land directly east of the Temple Mount, purchased 12 years ago, meets both of those standards.
Rabbi Yitshak Mamo owns that land on the Mount of Olives. Mamo is with Uvne Yerusalim, a group that preserves Israel’s history and works to educate future generations.
Concerning the specifics of the land, he told CBN News, “It had to be exactly at the front of the place that the priest that made this ceremony can see the Holy of the Holy Place.”
But the clock is ticking.
If the heifers get too old, they will no longer qualify.
During a recent public appearance, Mamo explained that “we are very close to the third year of these cows”…
“If there is any [mathematicians] here, so you can understand that we are very close to the third year of these cows,” reveals Mamo. “Which means that with the help of God, we will get permission from God and from the people to make the ceremony. And then we can be pure.”
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz that we could actually see a red heifer sacrifice very soon.
Last month, All Israel News reported that the Temple Institute wants to conduct a sacrifice “before Passover 2024”…
As of now, four of the heifers remain blemish-free and, according to Temple Institute rabbis, they hope to carry out the ceremony before Passover 2024.
This year, the Jewish people will celebrate Passover on April 22nd.
That is about a month away.
During a recent broadcast, Glenn Beck also discussed the possibility that a red heifer sacrifice could happen in the very near future. The following is an excerpt from a transcript of that broadcast…
If you’re going to rebuild the temple, you need to purify it.
And purifying it, according to the book of numbers, chapter 19, is a heifer. A red heifer ceremony. That results in the creation of ash and water mixture.
And that cleanses the entire nation of Israel. From ritual impurity.
And then the ceremony requires some of the blood to be sprinkled at the front of the tabernacle. That later became the temple.
It usually took place at the Mount of Olives, where they are planning on doing this again in the coming days.
It is essential for all aspects of the temple, and temple worship to take place.
In addition, anyone participating in temple worship, would be required to be sprinkled with the ash water.
Beyond that, even without the presence of a physical temple, the ceremony, would be — would allow the general population to be ritually cleansed and remove much of the religious prohibition for a Jewish presence, on the Temple Mount.
When are they planning on doing it?
Well, they imported these red heifers before October 7th.
We now know that Hamas said, that this was going to — this was part of the reason, because they’re going to use the red heifers to purify the temple, which is desecration to them.
Purifying them, so they can then, actually, go up, and even if there’s no temple. They can pray as if they were in the temple.
They’re going to do this, passover weekend. So Easter weekend.
There has been a lot of speculation on social media that a red heifer sacrifice could potentially take place on March 29th because the “Sabbath of the red heifer” begins at sundown that evening…
Shabbat Parah for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Friday, 29 March 2024 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 30 March 2024. This corresponds to Parashat Tzav.
Shabbat Parah (“Sabbath [of the] red heifer” שבת פרה) takes place on the Shabbat before Shabbat HaChodesh, in preparation for Passover. Numbers 19:1-22 describes the parah adumah (“red heifer”) in the Jewish temple as part of the manner in which the kohanim and the Jewish people purified themselves so that they would be ready (“pure”) to sacrifice the korban Pesach.
I have not been able to find any confirmation that a sacrifice will happen on March 29th.
So I don’t know if we will see anything happen on that date or not.
But I do believe that the Temple Institute fully intends to conduct a red heifer sacrifice at some point in 2024.
And when that happens, Israel’s enemies are going to go haywire.
As CBS News has reported, Hamas has actually admitted that the red heifers were one of the reasons why they attacked Israel on October 7th…
When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of “bringing red cows” to the Holy Land.
The cows he was talking about are red heifers, which now graze at a secure, undisclosed location in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Some Jews and Christians believe they’re key to rebuilding the Jewish temple that once stood in Jerusalem, and to beckoning the Messiah.
Once Israel’s enemies realize that a red heifer has been sacrificed, they are going to go absolutely nuts.
So this is a really big deal.
Let’s keep watching and praying, because it appears that events in the Middle East are about to get very, very interesting.

As Globalists Ready To Bring Their Vision Of 'What's Next' From The Ashes Of 'What Once Was,' There's Never Been A More Important Time To Be Prepared For Madness & Chaos Ahead
March 21, 2024 By Stefan Stanford - Live Free Or Die - All News Pipeline
In the first video we've embedded at the bottom of this story, Steve Quayle has joined Mike Adams of Natural News for an emergency discussion about what we're now watching unfolding all across Western Civilization, the long ago, pre-planned destruction of our country and 'reality' as we've long known it and a race towards nuclear annihilation and oblivion. For as we've been long been warned in the mythology of the 'phoenix,' for a new civilization to emerge, it must first arise from the 'ashes' of what once was.
And while some may have long awaited a period of time of 'renewal' and our nation rising again to its' former greatness, as Michael Snyder reports in this new story over at The Most Important News, we've instead been first hand witnesses of what we've long known as 'America' being ripped apart and destroyed, a process that's been going on for decades now, and in recent years and since the arrival of 'Joe Biden' in the White House, a process that has greatly accelerated.
With Snyder asking as the title of his story "Has America Run Out Of Time?," as Quayle and Adams discuss in that important video below, we're now watching the hyper-accelerated collapse of America and all of Western Civilization while the rest of the world watches in shock as we witness a very real 'self-immolation,' as if 'Joe Biden' and other Western 'leaders' were 'installed' in their positions simply to bring everything crashing down upon us. And if THAT'S WHY they were 'selected' and 'installed,' they're doing a wonderful job of bringing in 'the end' of the West, along with all of the death and destruction that comes with it.
As Steve Quayle warns us, he doesn't think there has ever been a time when so many different events are coalescing at once, and coming together at an exponential rate. From the globalists very real death-speed race into a war with Russia that, once it turns nuclear, will literally explode all across the planet bringing death and destruction worldwide, to the current state of America, a nation in which our 'leaders' have declared a very real 'war' upon the American people while elevating those who shouldn't even be here above us, using the taxpayer dollars paid for decades by Americans to 'finance' this ongoing 'invasion,' we're witnessing, via living through it, a time we've long been warned of, but long labeled a 'conspiracy theory'.
With our 'globalist overlords' insanely believing in their minds that they'll be able to 'build up' something 'better' in place of what they're burning down, we see in this new story over at The Bridgehead one of the ways they're trying to do that, via the rise of what they call 'cultural queerness,' but that's leading to the all-out collapse of 'Cultural Christianity' with leaders of 'the West' openly declaring war upon Christians and the Bible.
And as Michael Snyder points out within his story, that 'war' upon Christianity has led to our entire culture being saturated with evil, large media corporations making billions of dollars exporting that culture to the rest of the world, and an 'America' that doesn't look like it'll be able to 'reverse direction' in the coming months or years, especially since the very 'destruction' of America is what these globalists have planned in the first place. Briefly from Snyder's story.:
In the end, we will truly reap what we have sown.
If our nation had chosen to reverse course, things could have worked out much differently. But that has not happened.
Yes, there are individuals and small groups that have chosen to change direction, but the nation as a whole just continues to run the wrong direction as fast as it possibly can.
In this article, I am going to share some numbers with you that are just staggering.
We have been given opportunity after opportunity to choose a different direction, and we just keep making the wrong choices. At some point we will be out of opportunities. In fact, could it be possible that America has already run out of time?

With Quayle and Adams also discussing for us the seemingly never-ending 'events' in the Middle East, such as Yemen's Houthis reported acquiring a hypersonic missile system that raises the stakes in the Red Sea crisis, as well as how different countries in Europe appear fully ready to commit military suicide, such as Macron in France threatening to unleash French fighters to help Ukraine against Russia, Germany apparently ready to bring back the draft, Denmark preparing to draft women into military service for the first time while the military of the UK looks like a 'museum' of their prior military history, how long will it be until Biden and Democrats roll out a draft here in the USA?
And when Biden does something like that, how will Democrats across the country, especially in that previously mentioned 'queer culture' that dominates their ranks, respond in the craziness that follows?
Also discussing how 'America' has been completely falling apart and no doubt pushed in that direction by our own 'governmental entities,' invaded and overridden by criminal aliens and the crimes that they bring with them from their own countries, as the National Review reports in this new story, Biden's border crisis is also a 'crime crisis' for America with 'hardened criminals' hiding within larger groups of 'migrant groups' that have been smuggled into the country on Biden's watch, trying to take advantage of overwhelmed Border Patrol agents.
And while the United States Supreme Court recently gave the state of Texas a victory against illegal aliens by allowing them to arrest people they can prove have come into the state illegally, who reading this really believes the 'Biden crime cabal' won't pull more stunts like they've done already, flying these criminal aliens into the country and depositing them throughout America, at least 320,000 of them already? And now we learn that an Appeals Court has already overturned that decision. Oh how that was so short lived.
And then, what about all of those illegal immigrants from Haiti who have been 'deposited' into US cities across the country, yet the Department of Homeland Security won't tell us in WHICH cities they've been 'deposited'? Potentially depositing very real 'cannibals' who don't have the best intentions towards Americans at heart, and from a gang-ravaged nation that is already showing us what America might look like in our final stages of collapse, some 'Security' the DHS is bringing to America.
With Quayle and Adams also discussing the very real loss of freedom for Americans that we're witnessing as society collapses all around us and illegal aliens are put on a pedestal by our criminal politicians while our own rights are increasingly taken away, it's no surprise at all that America is exploding now in violence, human trafficking, crime, homelessness and drug addiction, all signs of a nation in its final days.
Meanwhile our banking system collapses all around us as reported in this new story over at Yahoo Finance in which we learn that according to one top Real Estate CEO, over 500 banks will either fail or be consolidated over the next two years, and don't be the least bit surprised if those failure hit much sooner than that with everything falling apart all around us.
And we shouldn't be surprised in the least bit that the same globalists who've long been working to destroy our nation are also working to end and bring a final destruction to independent journalism, with the globalists working on constructing an AI-powered control grid designed to end free speech on the internet as Leo Hohmann reports in this new blog entry. And with those same failing banks across the country colluding with governments and Big Tech to censor and silence all dissent; as Leo points out within his story, the way we're headed is in a direction towards utter tyranny, people being controlled by the withholding of access to their money. Think that won't happen here in America? From his story.:
We’ve heard some disturbing reports out of Canada and the U.S. recently that shouldn’t be viewed in a vacuum. A trend is developing.
Last Friday, March 15, Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested while trying to interview attendees at a Pro-Hamas rally in Toronto.
According to Rebel News, the arrest came just days after the announcement of David’s lawsuit against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police “for a pattern of intimidation and exclusion following shocking displays of police brutality against David.”
Rebel News reports that what transpired was a blatant disregard for civil liberties.
David was in full compliance with the law, Rebel News reported, noting that he presented his identification upon request. All of this was captured on camera.
Yet, he was arrested and detained for exercising his right to document a public event.
In the U.S., we have also seen reporters hauled off to jail recently for simply covering events that the government didn’t want covered. Just two weeks ago the FBI arrested Steve Baker, a reporter for Blaze Media, for his coverage of the J6 event. Last year, the FBI arrested journalist Owen Shroyer of Infowars and he was convicted and sentenced to 60 days in prison for his coverage of J6 (he did not even enter the Capitol that day). NBC News, a key part of the state-run media in America, dutifully reported upon Shroyer’s conviction that he was not a journalist but a “conspiracy theorist.”
With Leo Hohmann's story showing us exactly what's happening to America as we're transferred from a freedom-loving 1st world nation into a 3rd world nation living under a dictatorship, what we're allowed to speak about controlled by people who should never have such powers over humanity, I remember that years ago when I first learned of the 'New World Order dictatorship' conspiracy theory, I used to laugh to myself, fully believing no such thing could ever come about with the American people owning hundreds of millions of guns and weapons, what I believed back then to be a sure remedy against tyranny.
Yet here we are today, 140 House Democrats actually demanding the power to block US Veterans from purchasing firearms as reported in this story over at Breitbart, what Steve Quayle warned in an SQNote while linking to that story is not only blatant treason being carried out before our eyes but showing all of the rest of us what awaits if these globalists heard in the 2nd video below get their way.
Capturing the Associate Director in the Office of the Secretary of Defense on video saying “Why not just have an open border?” and “I think we should repeal the Second Amendment and take the guns all away!”, Jason Beck, who has a classified security clearance and works for the Department of Defense, describes his extremist policies, including “mobilizing the national guard” to confiscate guns from people’s homes. Now can you imagine that in the coming months or years should Biden and Democrats steal another election in November?
With Beck wanting a “monopoly on state violence,” a concept he describes as “‘We {the government), are the only ones with guns,” there's never been a more important time for Americans to be prepared for utter madness and exploding chaos ahead.

JP Morgan To Launch Their Contactless And Facial Recognition Payment System In 2025
ago 22 hours
by Jacob M. Thompson
“We would like every merchant to adopt this,” said a director at JP Morgan.
The U.S. megabank JP Morgan-Chase recently announced they plan to deploy their proprietary biometric payment systems with their merchants, rivaling the likes of Amazon’s contactless payment terminals.
Nearly one year ago The WinePress reported on JP Morgan’s pilot program for this biometric payment system, which includes “palm and face identification for payments authentication in-store and works on an enrol-capture-authenticate-pay basis,” the megabank explained. JP Morgan would manage customer’s biometric data for future transactions.
The bank added: “After a short customer enrolment process in store, the workflow is; cashier scans items or customer uses self-service terminal, user scans palm or face, user completes checkout, user gets receipt. The solutions [have] benefits for merchants and their consumers. For merchants, the key benefits include customer sales and loyalty growth and the removal of friction from merchants’ day-to-day processes. For the customer, the payments are phone-free, private, secure, fast and simple.”
The evolution of consumer technology has created new expectations for shopping and payments. There are more ways to pay than ever before across an increasing number of channels. And consumers continue to adopt tools like digital wallets and biometric payments to simplify their payment experience.
J.P. Morgan is uniquely positioned to revolutionize payments online and instore and our investments in technology have unlocked new ways for merchants to offer frictionless payments across any touchpoint. Our Commerce Solutions launch positions us perfectly to help our clients prepare and thrive as the payments landscape continues to transform.
Takis Georgakopoulos, Global Head of Payments, J.P. Morgan, said last year

Specifically, the bank has partnered with biometrics tech company PopID to help develop their system. PopID has partnered with other large companies around the world to help integrate contactless and biometric payments as well, such as FIFA at the World Cup. The WP highlighted this emerging tech startup in early-2021 where it began to network with small businesses and shops in California.
The bank’s new payment system was trialed last year at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. Identical to Amazon One‘s contactless payment system that allows customers to simply hover their hand over a terminal and pay, JP Morgan is providing something similar or can scan people customer’s faces for instant payment.
In a recent discussion with Payments Dive, Prashant Sharma, executive director of biometrics and identity solutions at JPMorgan, revealed that they are planning on releasing this technology on a much broader scale to their vendors sometime in 2025. Sharma indicated their main focus will be to rollout this technology at grocery stores, restaurants, and other major events and venues.
Sharma noted that in some contexts all that will be needed is a tablet with a camera that can take an image of a shopper’s face.
We would like every merchant to adopt this, but at the end of the day, it is going to be a merchant’s choice.
[Merchants are highly interested in tapping biometrics], because everybody wants to provide a streamlined, personalized experience to the consumer. [Still], there is a perceived sensitivity towards biometrics.
There are certain areas where we will compete, but there are a lot of places where we can collaborate as well. For anything to scale, there has to be industry standards.
This is an area that we will continue to invest in, continue to work in. It will take a little bit of time, but hopefully we get to a point where there is an all-in-one device that can do card, tap, dip plus biometric data acceptance as well.
Sharma said

The WP also reported earlier this month that the credit card giant VISA has also released their own contactless payment system, mimicking the designs and concepts of Amazon’s and JP Morgan’s terminals.

Last month JP Morgan explained that they plan to further flesh-out the digital payments landscape, in statement to Digital Transactions.
We realized merchants more and more want to provide their customers an experience.
The second thing is we realized is that consumers want a self-centered experience, they want to be recognized.
Jean-Marc Thienpont, managing director of omnichannel & biometric solutions at J.P. Morgan Payments, tells Digital Transactions News.
“The technology has become more mature from where it was 10 years ago,” Sharma added.
Furthermore, yesterday JP Morgan also announced a new System Integrator Program for companies that specialize in payments consulting, implementation, and operations.
Georgakopoulos said in a blog post: “This program is another critical element in how we are continuing to build a modern Payments business. Organizations are demanding more deeply integrated and embedded solutions that go beyond traditional payments-related pain points. Working with key partners will help us accelerate the new product development and adoption process.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Everything is going digital rapidly and we know why: it’s a precursor to the mark of the beast. Ultimately, the masses need to get accustomed to paying with just their face and hands before they are eventually integrated with technologies to facilitate transactions.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 13:16-18
In the meantime, JP Morgan-Chase, the largest bank in the U.S. by assets – the release of their payment system is congruent with the incoming wave of bank failures, collapsing dollar, and launch of CBDCs, digital IDs, and tokenization.

Russia issues chilling four-word warning to NATO country over £2.14bn project
The Western military alliance was branded "NATO suicide club" by a Russian politician.
By Alice Scarsi, World News Reporter
10:58, Thu, Mar 21, 2024 | UPDATED: 11:03, Thu, Mar 21, 2024
Russia has reacted with blistering remarks to reports Romania is working at what is set to become the NATO alliance's largest military base in Europe. One of the most chilling warnings coming from Russia in response to the base was voiced by a senator and vice president of the Committee for Foreign Affairs of the Council of the Russian Federation, Andrey Klimov - who branded the Western military alliance the "NATO suicide club".
The politician claimed this multi-billion project represents a "threat" to Bucharest and, the closest it is to Russian borders, the "more likely it is to be among the first targets for retaliatory strikes".
He added: "If the Romanians like it, it's their business, of course, but the NATO suicide club drags ordinary civilians into such adventures that can end very badly for their families and children. I'm not trying to scare anyone, I'm just reasoning logically. There won't be any benefit for Romania from this and there will be more threats."
In a four-word warning, he concluded: "This is a fact."
The £2.14billion project will see the expansion of the Romanian Air Force 57th Air Base Mihail Kogălniceanu, located close to the Black Sea port city of Constanța.
The new massive base, with a perimeter of almost 20 miles, will bolster the eastern flank of the transatlantic alliance and will become the home of around 10,000 NATO personnel and their families.
While this week there was a flurry of reactions to this ongoing project coming from Russia, the expansion was approved by the Romanian government in 2019 - at a time of more distended relations between Moscow and the West.
After fundings for the first stage of the project were awarded to contractors in 2022, works began in 2023.
Romanian news outlets previously reported it will take two decades for the modernisation project to be completed.
Among the new infrastructures, the base will get a new take-off-landing runway and taxiways, a beacon and radio navigation system, as well as a building for flight simulations.
The Mihail Kogălniceanu base has been used by the US military since 1999.

ENGINEERED FAMINE: Marxist Oregon Starts SHUTTING DOWN Small Farms “To Protect The People” (Video)
Photo of Ethan Huff Ethan Huff March 20, 2024
(Natural News) Small farmers are under attack in the state of Oregon, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state en masse under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.
Yanasa TV, a project of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a roughly 20-minute video – you can watch it below – explaining what is going on in the Beaver State as bureaucrats erroneously dub small family farms as concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, in order to shut them down “for the environment.”
“The state of Oregon has effectively shut down small farms and market gardens on a large scale, and they’re actually sending out cease-and-desist letters to farms and they’re using satellite technology to find their victims and send them these letters that say you can’t operate,” the rancher in the video below explains.
(Related: Last year, political fossil John Kerry declared that farmers everywhere need to stop growing food immediately in order to achieve the globalists’ “net zero” climate change goals.)
Small farms aren’t CAFOs
The rancher explains that there are two different laws that Oregon officials are using to conduct these shutdowns. One involves the state of Oregon’s broadly vague definition of a CAFO, which reads, in part, as follows:
“The State of Oregon defines CAFOs as the concentrated feeding or holding of animals or poultry, including but not limited to horse, cattle, sheep, or swine feeding areas, dairy confinement areas, and poultry and egg production facilities where the surface has been prepared with concrete, rock or fibrous material to support animals in wet weather.”
Based on this definition, a few-acre homestead with pasture and, say, two milking cows and some chickens qualifies as a CAFO if it has any area on the property where rock or gravel is used as a pathway to get to a small barn or coop.
“The way that they have redefined CAFOs is going to impact nearly everybody,” the rancher warns about Oregon’s “updated” CAFO definition, which impacts his property as well. “Even on our property, we don’t have animals that are necessarily contained in one area (they’re roaming on pastures).”
Back in January of this year, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of small family farms throughout Oregon, arguing that the definition of a CAFO is too broad and negatively impacts pretty much anyone who produces eggs from backyard chickens, no matter the size of their property.
The case was recently covered by National Review, explaining that Oregon’s government “joined forces” with the large-scale dairy industry to oppress and tyrannize Oregon’s small farmers.
“This law is being enforced in the state of Oregon,” the rancher warns, telling the same story as National Review about Godspeed Hollow Farm in Newburg, Ore., which has been reclassified as a CAFO simply because it has a gravel pathway from the milking machine to the pickup station just 100 feet in distance.
“[Oregon] has already shut down some farms. There is an injunction on some of the definition of the law until it can be heard in court. Currently small dairy farmers … a lot of what they’re requiring is simply too much for the small farmer.”
All Oregon groundwater, even on private property, considered public
Another thing Oregon farmers are having to deal with is the state’s rules on water. The only water that farmers are legally allowed to collect in Oregon is rainwater. Everything else, including water from rivers and streams, and even groundwater on private property, is considered a public resource.
Because of this rule, Oregon farmers are not even allowed to use water from their own private wells to irrigate their crops and hydrate their animals without a permit. Coupled with the CAFO rule, this one concerning water use is being abused in such a way as to make it prohibitive, if not impossible, for farmers to run their farms.
“This rule went into place back in 2021,” the rancher explains about how Oregon officials enacted the water rule, which just so happens to have happened at a time when everyone was being distracted and traumatized by Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” tyranny.
“It has slowly rolled out to the point where market gardeners on a half-acre of land are now receiving cease-and-desist orders saying, ‘you can’t water your gardens; figure out another way.'”
The obvious goal in all this is to concentrate even more power and control over the food market into the hands of just a wealthy few while depriving small farmers of their livelihoods and incomes – not to mention their God-given right to grow, produce, consume, and yes, sell, the fruit of their labor for sustenance.
Be warned that if this kind of thing can happen in Oregon, it can happen everywhere. The tyranny usually starts in one area as a test case, and if the general public does not resist, it spreads like a virus elsewhere.
Americans, no matter what state they live in, have a constitutional right to food freedom. Learn more at FoodFreedom.news.

Elon Musk unveils clip of his first human patient implanted with Neuralink brain-chip using 'telepathy' to play chess on computer just by thinking
By Will Potter For Dailymail.Com
Published: 18:36 EDT, 20 March 2024 | Updated: 01:26 EDT, 21 March 2024
Elon Musk has shared stunning footage of the first person to use the Neuralink brain chip to control a computer cursor and play video games just by thinking.
The groundbreaking patient, paraplegic man Noland Arbaugh, 29, was seen in a video shared to X using only his mind to play a game of chess.
'See that cursor on the screen? That's all me... it's all brainpower' he said from his wheelchair. Arbaugh said in the clip that he suffered a 'freak diving accident' eight years ago that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.
The Arizona man's successful use of the tech marks a breathtaking development - and bolsters beliefs from experts that it could revolutionize care for the disabled.
Arbaugh beamed with happiness throughout the clip - showing off the mouse moving side to side across the online chess board while being filmed by an engineer.
Appearing to still be baffled by how the groundbreaking technology was actually working, Arbaugh likened moving the mouse around the screen to using 'The Force' from Star Wars.
'I'm so freaking lucky to be a part of this, everyday it feels like we're learning new stuff,' he said.
Musk announced a month ago that the first person had the chip implanted, and said at the time that he was 'able to move a mouse around the screen just by thinking.'
'Progress is good and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with neural effects that we are aware of,' Musk said in a Spaces event on X.
Elon reposted the clip of Arbaugh using 'telepathy' on Wednesday, along with the caption: 'Livestream of Neuralink demonstrating 'Telepathy' – controlling a computer and playing video games just by thinking.'
Neuralink's tech uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move.
The system consists of a computer chip attached to tiny flexible threads stitched into the brain by a 'sewing-machine-like' robot.
In the operation, the 'sewing robot' removes a small chunk of the skull, connects the thread-like electrodes to certain areas of the brain, stitches up the hole and the only visible scar left behind is from the tiny incision.
Musk said that the fitting procedure takes just 30 minutes, does not require general anesthesia, and patients will be able to return home on the same day.
Arbaugh, who was a Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M before his life-changing accident, said the surgery was 'super easy' and there was 'nothing to be afraid of.'
The 29-year-old suffered his debilitating injury while working at a children's camp in Texas in 2016, and said he has lived for years with 'absolutely no feeling' from below his shoulders.
He added that before his injury, he used to 'love playing chess', continuing: 'This is one of the things that y'all have enabled me to do... I wasn't really able to do much the last few years.'
In a GoFundMe from 11 months after his accident, it was said that Arbaugh had been struggling with his 'lack of mobility.'
'Noland is confined to a bulky electric wheelchair that he must take with him wherever he goes. The wheelchair, coupled with his condition, make traveling anywhere an ordeal,' the fundraiser said.
Arbaugh was joined in the clip by a Neuralink engineer, who asked the patient at one stage to explain how he was able to telepathically move a computer mouse.
'So we started out by trying a few different things,' he said. 'We basically went from what we'd call 'imagined movement', versus 'attempted movement', and we started out with attempting to move.'
This entailed thinking about moving his computer cursor left and right, and 'from there, it just became intuitive for me', he said.
As he likened the tech to using 'The Force' from Star Wars, Arbaugh said he was taught to move the cursor around the screen by 'staring somewhere on the screen.'
Describing the first time it worked, he said: 'It would just move to where I wanted it to, it was such a wild experience... it's crazy, it's crazy.'
He added that one of his favorite aspects of having the implant is that he is now able to play video games, and admitted that as soon as he got the hang of it, he only stopped playing when the implant ran out of charge.
Noting his love for Halloween, he said he is planning to go as Professor X from X-Men, a paraplegic mutant that can move objects telepathically, when October rolls around.
While hailed by many as an astounding feat of medical engineering, Musk's Neuralink has not been without its controversies.
As exclusively revealed last month by DailyMail.com, the company houses thousands of animals for testing of the tech, which sees staffers drill holes into monkey's heads and fill them in with glue.
Documents revealed that monkeys had operations on their skulls up to 10 times each before they were put down.
Death reports reveal that monkeys had parts of their limbs amputated and were put down after repeatedly vomiting and having episodes of diarrhea.
All told, Neuralink has killed at least 1,500 animals, also including sheep and pigs, in its testing of the tech - which Musk said he hopes to become widely used, by humans, in the near future.
Arbaugh admitted at the end of the demonstration clip that his Neuralink implant was 'not perfect' and 'has run into some issues.'

Ukraine-Russia war live: Putin ‘preparing for large-scale Nato conflict’ as Kyiv foils major missile attack
Falling missile debris triggered fires and damaged buildings in multiple parts of Ukrainian capital

2 hours ago
A leading war think tank has said several indicators point to Russia preparing for a large-scale conflict with Nato.
The US-based Institute for the Study of War said: “Putin’s attempts to set conditions to stabilise Russia’s economy and finances are most likely part of... preparations for a potential future large-scale conflict with NATO and not just for a protracted war in Ukraine.”
The think tank also referred to Polish president Andrzej Duda’s interview in March where he cited German research that indicates “Putin is intensifying efforts to shift Russia to a war economy with the intention of being able to attack NATO as early as 2026 or 2027”.
This morning, foiled Russia‘s largest attack on Kyiv in weeks – with the country’s air force saying all 31 missiles used in the assault had been shot down.
At least 17 people were injured in Kyiv and the surrounding area by falling debris. Schools, residential buildings and industrial facilities were also damaged, Ukrainian officials said.
The attack on Kyiv comes a day after a Russian missile hit an industrial area in Ukraine’s northern city of Kharkiv, killing five.

'Compromised' Biden leading U.S. to disaster, says Air Force general
'There is something brewing at home and it'll take many by surprise'
J.M. Phelps By J.M. Phelps Published March 20, 2024 at 7:00pm
With a presidential administration well-known to have been compromised by foreign adversaries – especially China – is America on the brink of disaster?
WND asked that question to Brigadier Gen. Blaine "Blaino" Holt, USAF-Ret., who served as the deputy U.S. military representative to NATO and is co-founder of the nonprofit Restore Liberty.
Holt fears the worst under President Joe Biden’s leadership, saying the evidence of betrayal is undeniable. "It's not statistically possible for an administration to make 100 percent of its decisions counter to United States interests without some other factor at play."

"If Americans want to know what that factor is," said Holt, "start watching what Congressman Comer is doing in his oversight committee."
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. And according to Holt, "Every single day, he is peeling back the onion on the Chinese compromise of this administration."
Thus, in a March 14 press release, Comer announced "a government-wide investigation into the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ongoing efforts to target, influence, and infiltrate every sector and community in the United States, including but not limited to America’s education, agriculture, critical infrastructure, research, energy, business, space, and technology sectors."
"In every area," Holt stressed, "the Chinese are not only making deals favorable to the Chinese and their interests, but also to second and third order interests." These include Russia and Iran, he explained. "And if you look through that prism, things start to explain themselves."
"For example, we're not going to take Iran to task on anything, because we'd be messing with China's oil supplier," Holt told WND. "That’s why we're doing nothing more than throwing rocks at the [Iranian-backed] Houthis instead of just ending them." Thus, explains Holt, Chinese interests are being protected.
"We also have a wide-open southern border that compromises American security," he added. "Fentanyl is killing the country, but once again, it's the Chinese alliance with the cartels that makes China off limits."
"When you look at these incompetencies or malevolencies, is this administration doing anything that's not helpful to Chinese interests?" Holt asked. "The only saving grace we have is that the Chinese regime seems to be coming down under its own weight economically."
"But their own problems won't change their long-term strategic goals, regardless of what's happening domestically for them," he said. "They still have Russia, Iran and North Korea continuing to be a menace to the world while they plot to destroy America as we know it."
Citing U.S. capitulation to the Chinese regime and "American weakness" around the world, Holt told WND, "no national security team has ever gone 0 out of 100." And all the while, he said, "fighting-age men are dwelling among us in three tiers." The tiers include migrants, terrorists and state actors like the People's Liberation Army, he said.
"Most Americans live in this little bubble where they think that all of our overseas problems stay overseas, and wars stay overseas," Holt concluded, adding a warning:
"They think these kinds of things won’t visit us here, but there is something brewing at home and it’ll take many by surprise."

Tensions are likely to escalate between China and Taiwan due to this (Image: Getty)
Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed in 2023 facilitated the deployment of these troops to conduct training programs for Taiwanese frontline forces.
The move comes as China continues to assert its disputed claim over Taiwan, viewing it as a renegade province despite never having ruled it. The heightened military activities by China in and around the Taiwan Strait have prompted Taiwan to bolster its defense capabilities.
It comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week issued an 'ironclad' warning to China as tensions between the two nations rise. Closer to home a new poll found Biden and Trump are neck and neck in the race to win the White House and yesterday Trump warned EU countries that NATO 'won't be protected' if he's reelected unless they pay up in further signs of global tensions, which range from Ukraine and Russia to the escalating problems in the Middle East and the growing issues in Cuba and Haiti, where displaced citizens could flood into Florida sparking a wild move from Gov DeSantis.
In response to queries about the presence of the US Army Green Special Forces, also known as Green Berets, Taiwanese Defense Chief Chiu Kuo-cheng said: "No matter the situation, there may be blind spots or shortcomings. So we need to communicate with our allies - whether it is a team, a group or a country.
"We can learn from each other to see what strengths we have. This is a fixed thing."
Former President Tsai Ing-wen had mentioned in 2021 occasional training sessions with US instructors in 2021, bu Chiu's recent statement is the first official confirmation of the long-term nature of these activities.
According to reports from Taiwan's United Daily News (UDN), US Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group are now permanently stationed at bases of the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, a Taiwanese army special operations force, located in outlying island counties of Penghu and Kinmen. Notably, Kinmen lies just over a mile from Chinese shores.
Additionally, reports suggest an American military presence in the northeast city of Taoyuan on Taiwan's main island, with service members providing specialized training on drone equipment for Taiwan's elite Airborne Special Service Company.
Both the US Army and Chinese Foreign Ministry have yet to comment on these developments.
The presence of US troops in Taiwan marks a significant development in the region's geopolitical landscape. The U.S. officially withdrew its military presence from Taiwan in 1979 following the normalization of U.S.-China relations.
However, under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, the US remains committed to providing Taiwan with defensive weaponry and ensuring its security against coercion or aggression.
While Taiwan has refrained from commenting on specific reports, it has reiterated that all foreign military exchanges adhere to an annual plan.

INTEL: CLAIMS of NATO-Member Nation Troops arriving Ukraine
World Hal Turner 20 March 2024 Hits: 17142
Reports are coming out of central Ukraine **claiming** "HUGE numbers of foreign troops have been arriving in the city of Cherkassy; Poles, Germans, French."
Locals in that area of Ukraine say "They (foreign troops) are settled on the ground floors of schools and kindergartens. We would like to point out that the educational process in educational institutions continues on the second and third floors."
Parents are very worried about their children's lives, as attacks are possible even though these foreign troops are hiding behind children.
Locals also say "there is no educational process at night . . . " which is apparently when these troops go into action.
UPDATE: Ihor Taburets, head of the Cherkasy Regional Military Administration, denied as "Russian propaganda," claims that Polish, German, and French, soldiers are stationed in schools and kindergartens in Cherkasy.
Hal Turner Snap Analysis
It was just two to three weeks ago that French President Emmanuel Macron publicly floated the notion of France - and perhaps other nations - sending their active duty soldiers into Ukraine under "Bi-lateral Agreements" outside the scope of NATO. Macron was fiercely rebuked, but just days later, he doubled-down saying such a notion has to be "on the table."
A week or so after that, others in NATO started talking about the "possibility" of sending troops under Bi-Lateral Agreements." They too were rebuked, and now, at least publicly, Germany and Poland are saying they will not send their troops.
Most observers of the Russia-Ukraine conflict thought Macron and the others were merely floating the idea to see what response there might be. NOW, however, it seems they put this idea out in public because they've not only already decided to do it, they appear now to have already BEGUN doing it!

In first, IDF confirms Houthi cruise missile hit open area near Eilat on Monday
Iran-backed group also claims to target a Marshall-Islands flagged fuel tanker headed for Saudi Arabia as it passed through the Red Sea shipping route
By Emanuel Fabian, ToI Staff and Agencies 19 March 2024, 10:46 pm
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Tuesday evening that a “suspicious aerial target” that struck an open area near Eilat early Monday morning was a cruise missile.
Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for the missile, which crossed into Israeli airspace from the direction of the Red Sea.
No damage or injuries were caused, and according to the IDF, the missile was tracked by the Air Force throughout the incident.
It marks the first time a Houthi projectile hit Israeli territory. In previous attacks, missiles and drones launched from Yemen struck neighboring countries or were intercepted by air defenses.
The IDF said it is further investigating the incident.
Yemen’s Houthis also targeted a fuel tanker in the Red Sea with naval missiles, the group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a prerecorded statement on Tuesday.
MADO is a Marshall Islands-flagged liquefied petroleum gas tanker heading to Singapore from Saudi Arabia, maritime shipping trackers showed.
The vessel was twice targeted by Houthi fire on March 15 and March 17. Both attacks missed the vessel, causing neither damage nor injuries.
Although the Houthi rebels described the tanker as American, Equasis’s shipping database indicates that it is owned by Naftomar Shipping & Trading Co Ltd of Greece. Naftomar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels began attacking ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea last November, a campaign they say is intended to signal solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid the war between Israel and Hamas, which began with the terror group’s devastating October 7 assault on southern Israel.
The Houthi attacks have disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to reroute to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa. The cost of insuring a seven-day voyage through the Red Sea has risen by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Beyond economic damage, the attacks have also served to stoke fears that the Israel-Hamas war could spread to destabilize the wider Middle East.
While the group has claimed it only targets vessels owned by or connected to Israel, it has frequently targeted vessels with tenuous or no clear links to the country, imperiling shipping in a key route for trade among Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Those vessels have included at least one with cargo for Iran, the Houthis’ main benefactor.
The US and UK began striking Houthi targets in Yemen in January, but despite this, the rebel group remains undeterred and capable of launching significant attacks.
On Monday night, the US military said it destroyed seven missiles and three drones Monday in areas of Yemen controlled by Houthi rebels that presented threats to merchant ships and US Navy vessels.
United States Central Command forces operated “in self defense” when they engaged and destroyed the anti-ship missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as three weapons storage containers in Houthi-controlled areas, CENTCOM said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter.
“It was determined these weapons presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region. These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US Navy and merchant vessels,” CENTCOM said.

Israeli missiles destroy Hezbollah warehouse in Syria - report
This was the second time within 48 hours that the same area was targeted by alleged Israeli airstrikes.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
MARCH 19, 2024 01:35 Updated: MARCH 19, 2024 15:52
Alleged Israeli airstrikes targeted ammunition warehouses belonging to Hezbollah and the Syrian military north of Damascus on Monday night, according to Syrian reports.
The strikes targeted sites near Yabrud and al-Qutayfa, according to the Syrian Capital Voice news site.
Large explosions could be heard and seen from a distance in footage reportedly from the area.
The Syrian Defense Ministry reported that alleged Israeli airstrikes had targeted several sites belonging to the Syrian military near Damascus, adding that only material damage was caused in the strikes.
Second airstrikes in the same area within 48 hours
This was the second time within 48 hours that the area near Yabrud was targeted by alleged Israeli airstrikes.
On Saturday night, alleged Israeli airstrikes targeted warehouses belonging to the Syrian military and Hezbollah in the area, according to the Capital Voice. Satellite imagery from a day later showed signs that the warehouses were heavily damaged in the strikes.
One Syrian soldier was injured in the strikes on Saturday night, according to Syrian state media.

UK Lawmaker Stuns Parliament with Call for Members of the ‘COVID Cabal’ to Face Death Penalty
By World Tribune
Global Research, March 19, 2024 World Tribune 17 March 2024
British Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen last week called for the death penalty for Bill Gates and the “Covid cabal” which he said committed “crimes against humanity” during the Covid pandemic.
“Heads of governments around the world and others below them have engaged in what is tantamount to treason against the public,” declared Bridgen in response to a rebuttal from his colleague Penny Mordaunt, who is a long-term World Economic Forum (WEF) member.
During a round of Business Questions in the UK House of Commons, Bridgen said:
“I’ve always opposed capital punishment on the principle that it’s wrong to take a life so it can’t be right for the state to take a life in revenge. Events have caused me to reconsider my position.”
Bridgen continued:
“So can we have a debate on crimes against humanity and the appropriate punishment for those who perpetuate, collude and cover up for these atrocities, atrocities and crimes so severe that the ultimate punishment may be required?”
Business Questions are the oral questions to the Leader of the House that MPs are allowed to ask.
As expected, UK liberals, including Mordaunt, and media dismissed Bridgen as a “conspiracy theorist.”
“It is appropriate that the finale of this session, which has featured so heavily conspiracy theories, should fall to the honorable gentleman,” Mordaunt said of Bridgen.
Bridgen said he has reached out to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley and plans to organize a meeting where experts and whistleblowers will present evidence to demonstrate criminal activities conducted by senior members of the UK government and civil service during the pandemic.
Bridgen also said that a senior cabinet minister shared details of a plan to use what he referred to as “turbo cancer” to depopulate the world. According to Bridgen, this revelation unfolded in the tea room at Westminster Houses of Parliament. The unnamed minister allegedly conveyed that Bridgen would be “dead of cancer soon” due to being misled into taking the vaccine during the pandemic.
“You can speak out all you want,” the minister told Bridgen. “It doesn’t matter. You are vaccinated. You will be dead of cancer soon.”
Bridgen, who has served as Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire since 2010, has become a prominent voice in the fight against globalist authoritarianism in the UK.
Previously, Bridgen called on the House of Commons to call for the UK government to “immediately stop the mRNA vaccine booster program and initiate a full public inquiry into not only the vaccine harms but how every agency and institution set up to protect the public interest has failed so abysmally in its duties.”

Canada Links Citizens’ Bank Accounts to Social Credit Score
Frank Bergman March 18, 2024 - 12:59 pm10 Comments
In a major push to seize control of the public’s financial freedom, Canada is radicalizing its banking system by linking citizens’ bank accounts to a tyrannical social credit score.
The Canadian banking system will soon be transformed by a so-called “open banking” framework.
Proponents are framing this as a more “inclusive” way for banks to easily share information and access user data.
However, the move will merge social standings with banking to provide governments and unelected bureaucrats with complete control over our finances.
The organization Open Banking Excellence (OBE), a World Bank partner that originated in the UK, boasts that it will incorporate social credit scores and bank information, and likely digital cash and IDs, in one “convenient” and “inclusive” place.
OBE, which has reached 40 countries, aims to “create exceptional platforms and content that promotes knowledge sharing, new thinking and partnerships within the industry – catalyzing the adoption of Open Finance and Data for better financial inclusion worldwide.”
“It’s about having that fairer, more inclusive, more open society,” said Helen Child, founder of Open Banking Excellence.
Of course, “Open Society” is an ideology championed by radical billionaire George Soros which involves open borders, no prisons, and rampant crime, among other “progressive” ideas.
However, the need for inclusivity and fairness in banking is not explained, despite being repeatedly pushed by proponents of the plan.

“It drives financial inclusion,” Child claims of the scheme.
“It’s democratizing data.”
What Child failed to mention is that data will be worth more than gold as we move forward with a cashless society.
There is no easier way to control the masses than to control their access to money, and their ability to buy, trade, and freely move about.

Globalists are constructing AI-powered control grid designed to end independent journalism and free speech on the internet
Banks are colluding with governments and Big Tech to censor and silence all dissent; people will be controlled by withholding access to their money
Leo Hohmann Mar 19, 2024
We’ve heard some disturbing reports out of Canada and the U.S. recently that shouldn’t be viewed in a vacuum. A trend is developing.
Last Friday, March 15, Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested while trying to interview attendees at a Pro-Hamas rally in Toronto.
According to Rebel News, the arrest came just days after the announcement of David’s lawsuit against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police “for a pattern of intimidation and exclusion following shocking displays of police brutality against David.”
Rebel News reports that what transpired was a blatant disregard for civil liberties.
David was in full compliance with the law, Rebel News reported, noting that he presented his identification upon request. All of this was captured on camera.
Yet, he was arrested and detained for exercising his right to document a public event.
In the U.S., we have also seen reporters hauled off to jail recently for simply covering events that the government didn’t want covered. Just two weeks ago the FBI arrested Steve Baker, a reporter for Blaze Media, for his coverage of the J6 event. Last year, the FBI arrested journalist Owen Shroyer of Infowars and he was convicted and sentenced to 60 days in prison for his coverage of J6 (he did not even enter the Capitol that day). NBC News, a key part of the state-run media in America, dutifully reported upon Shroyer’s conviction that he was not a journalist but a “conspiracy theorist.”
For more than five years now, journalists and citizen journalists alike have seen Big Tech censor and bury their work behind unfavorable algorithms. Some have even been banned or suspended from social media platforms.
But now the globalists are taking their war against the truth to a new level. They are going for the kill shots by having journalists and citizen truthtellers actually arrested and removed from society altogether.
Globalist politicians and judges are colluding with big corporations throughout the formerly free Western world to remove certain bedrock rights and God-given freedoms and replace them with government-issued privileges. They will tell you that you still have a right to free speech and freedom of the press, until you do what journalists have always done in the past and challenge the government narrative. If you do this, you lose your status and free-speech protections as a journalist and the government rebrands you as a conspiracy theorist, making you vulnerable to arrest.
In short, real journalists, people who question the facts and narratives provided by those in positions of power and authority, are being banned.
This movement against real journalism is coming down from the United Nations and World Economic Forum, both of which have made the elimination of what they call “disinformation” a top priority for 2024 and beyond.
WEF founder and director Klaus Schwab brags about how he has “penetrated the cabinets” of Canada’s Justin Trudeau, France’s Emmanuel Macron and many other governments, with WEF Young Global Leaders. The WEF trains these young leaders to change the world through all-encompassing digital surveillance technology and public-private partnerships (a perfect breeding ground for fascism).
So don’t expect the pummeling of citizens’ basic rights and freedoms to end anytime soon. Trudeau is very much a puppet, just like Joe Biden here in America, Olaf Scholz in Germany, Macron in France, Sunak in the U.K., and you can see how their policies mirror each other on climate change hysteria, gun control, cracking down on free speech, the obsession with vaccines, ever-expanding abortion rights, and the whole LGBTQ agenda.
And journalists are not the only ones targeted for silencing. Banks are teaming up with governments to make sure everyone falls into line with the globalist agenda.
Slay News reports that, in a major push to seize control of the public’s financial freedom, Canada is about to weaponize its banking system by linking citizens’ bank accounts to a tyrannical social credit scoring system. But they’re not calling it social credit scoring. They’re calling it an “open banking framework.”
Proponents say it’s a way for banks to innocently and easily share information and access customers’ financial data.
Slay reports:
“The truth of the matter is that this is an opportunity to merge social standings with banking to provide governments and unelected bureaucrats with complete control over our finances.”
The organization Open Banking Excellence, a partner of the World Bank that originated in the UK, claims it will host all of a bank’s relevant data needs in one place.
The organization, which has reached 40 countries, aims to “create exceptional platforms and content that promotes knowledge sharing, new thinking and partnerships within the industry – catalyzing the adoption of Open Finance and Data for better financial inclusion worldwide.”
Helen Child, founder of Open Banking Excellence, said:
“It’s about having that fairer, more inclusive, more open society. It drives financial inclusion. It’s democratizing data.”
What this is really all about is the drive to create central bank digital currencies to replace fiat currencies. CBDC’s are not only digital, they are programmable, which means they can be weaponized by governments in collusion with global bankers.
And you know what that means. If you run afoul of the government in any way, if you disagree with government narratives on certain sacred-cow issues — abortion, perpetual wars, election integrity, vaccines — all they have to do is hit the kill switch on your bank account and your money no longer works. Or it only works at certain stores or in certain geographic locations.
Slay News asks the right question: Why is there a need for inclusivity and fairness in banking? Shouldn’t banking decisions be made based on numbers?
It really has nothing to do with inclusion, other than the fact that they do want to include everyone in their digital control grid. Remember, the United Nations Agenda 2030 promises to “leave no person behind.” That didn’t sound too scary as long as it was just the U.N. telling us that, but in the age of artificial intelligence and machine learning, you can see how the power is shifting away from the people and toward the powerful few who have the ability to program this technology and mass market it in deceptive, even tantalizing ways. It will make your life so much easier, convenient and exciting, won’t you come along and join the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
Inclusion based on race and sexual identity is a scam. It’s really about the government, big banks and big tech stealing our personal data and then parceling it out to third-party players in the control grid. Ultimately, artificial intelligence will be in charge of what is allowed and not allowed, with access to your money being the control mechanism.
Slay News concludes:
“There is no easier way to control the masses than to control their access to money, and their ability to buy, trade, and freely move about.”
All of this will be controlled by tracking your data and sharing it with the various choke points of social control – your freedom of movement, your freedom of expression, assembly, religion, your freedom to have an opinion, your freedom to remain anonymous, your freedom to buy and sell, and most importantly of all your freedom to have a free will.
Will AI control the world? Absolutely. The question is, will you submit to it?

Mitchell Hartman Mar 1, 2024
In case you needed more evidence to explain why U.S. consumers aren’t exactly cheering in the stands for this all-in-all pretty-good economy, let’s look at exhibit one: housing affordability.
The real estate firm Zillow reports that since January 2020, the monthly mortgage payment on a typical U.S. home has nearly doubled. It’s up 96% in just four years.
According to Zillow, a typical buyer will now pay nearly $2,200 a month, with a 10% down payment. Meaning, homeownership now costs well above the 30% of median income that was once thought to equate to “affordable” housing cost in America.
And with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hovering around seven percent right now, there’s not a whole lot of light at the end of this tunnel.
With prices rising by leaps and bounds, it’s been a good time to sell a home. But it’s not so great to try to buy, says Orphe Divounguy, senior economist at Zillow.
“After the surge in home-buying demand and mobility during the pandemic, and the doubling of mortgage rates, home-shoppers now need to earn $106,000 to afford the median home in the United States,” said Divounguy.
Back in 2020, the salary needed to afford the median monthly mortgage payment was just $59,000. Real estate broker Israel Hill has seen the affordability crunch in Portland, Oregon.
“There’s nowhere to go, right? I mean, the prices aren’t dropping because there’s no inventory,” said Hill.
With mortgage rates around seven percent, many homeowners don’t want to sell and give up their cheaper mortgages. So, for would-be buyers, “there’s a sticker shock, for sure, trying to figure out how they’re going to make that monthly payment. And some people have to put themselves on the sidelines,” said Hill.
Others, says Zillow’s Divounguy, are getting creative.
“Half of first-time homebuyers are getting help from family and friends to at least get the down payment, 21% of last year’s buyers reported co-buying, so they’re buying with a friend or family member,” said Divounguy.
The news is not all gloom and doom, says Eddie Seiler at the Mortgage Bankers Association.
“Interest rates should come down steadily. Hopefully we’ll end the year at around six percent,” said Seiler.
And, in time, that probably won’t seem so expensive.
Guy Cecala at Inside Mortgage Finance, points out that in the years before the pandemic, consumers got used to really low mortgage rates.
“Unfortunately, a lot of people felt that was normal, and that anything above that they should just wait until they go back to the three and a half, four percent range. And that is not a realistic expectation,” said Cecala.
Cecala says mortgage rates have historically hovered around five to six percent in a healthy economy, and homebuyers will just need to get used to that.

The Agenda Of Those Working To Destroy America Is Playing Out In Our Public School Systems Daily: They're Destroying Their Minds, Souls And Future As Their Targeted Genocide Against Children Accelerates
By Rob Pue of Wisconsin Christian News and All News Pipeline March 19, 2024
As a kid, I attended a public school in a small, rural town in the 1970s and early ‘80s. Even though it was a small public school, as I look back today, I can see we were — even then — being indoctrinated with a “globalist” agenda. It certainly wasn’t as blatant or nearly as aggressive as it is in today’s public schools, but it was there. The “climate change” cult was especially busy, telling us a global ice age would occur, likely before we graduated from high school.
Of course, we can now look back and see that the “ice age” propaganda eventually changed to the “global warming” propaganda, and now they simply call it “climate change.” But the radical environmentalist cabal has been using this as a fear tactic for decades. Today, it’s obvious to see and understand this is just a tool the globalists use as a means of control.
Still, the government has been using weather manipulation for years, especially in the last decade or two and anyone who’s witnessed the skies filled with a checkerboard pattern of chemtrails can see with their own eyes that we’re being sprayed with who-knows-what, and we can only guess the purpose, though it’s obvious it’s not for the benefit of human or animal life on earth.
And for some reason, everyone in our public school was required to read George Orwell’s book, “1984.” Perhaps, following the code of the Luciferians, they had to tell us what they were planning in advance, before they did it. Now, we’re literally living out the scenario of that book. Who would have ever thought it possible?
Good is now called “evil” and evil is now called “good” and there can be no discussion or debate. That’s not allowed. Truth is censored and scrubbed from public view. News of Government-orchestrated disasters is put through the “spin cycle” of the mainstream media and then dispatched down the “memory hole” as if it never happened. Today’s public school students are too young to remember 9/11 and schools are not required to teach it in history class.
And as a society we have a very short attention span and memory. Although it’s only been three years now, most have already forgotten the draconian measures our government forced upon us with the COVID scam-demic. Have we forgotten that they forced people to stay home? Have we forgotten how they forced everyone to wear masks in public, recirculating their own C02 through their lungs all day long? Have we forgotten the children being reported to police by neighbors simply for playing outdoors in their front yards?
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
Does anyone remember how they wrapped playground equipment in plastic snow fencing to keep kids from playing outdoors? People driving alone in their cars, or riding their bikes while wearing masks? People arrested for going to the beach on a hot summer day, without a mask? Do you recall the number “6” everywhere you looked? “6” on the doors, “6” on the floors, “6” at the checkout registers.
And what about the government forcing churches to lock their doors, while allowing liquor stores and pot dispensaries to remain open? Or those who were arrested for attending church in their cars, in church parking lots — the cars parked 6’ apart? The cancellation of the 4th of July parades and celebrations. The cancellation of everything. And still today, I see people wearing masks in public, as if those nasty things are doing them any good at all... they pull them out of their dirty pockets and put them on their faces before entering a public place. How sanitary is that? To say nothing of the millions who lined up to get their COVID jabs, many of whom have since suffered irreparable harm and death. People are so easily manipulated.
But getting back to the public schools, I don’t care where you live or how “good” you think your local school is, I wouldn’t send any kid to any public school or college today. These places have become nothing more than indoctrination centers pushing Communism and perversion. Even at the college-age level, students don’t have the capacity for critical thinking, nor do they have reasoning skills or the basic knowledge to refute the lies being force-fed into their brains. They’re taught to obey the “authorities.” “Trust the science.” “The teacher knows best.” “The doctor knows best.” “Government exists to take care of you.”
Truly, the current generation of public school students are on the fast-track toward Global Communism and sexual deviancy. Since the “official” Obama years, there’s been a drastic spike in public school students “coming out” as homosexuals. And over the past three years of Obama’s third term, there’s been a drastic spike in kids with “gender dysphoria.” Even if this were a “real thing,” (which it’s not), any thinking person would seek mental health care for kids with any kind of real “dysphoria.” But instead, we are now told we must embrace and celebrate this mental delusion and illness, because to do otherwise would be harmful to the child.
Yet, those who “trust the science” believe that pumping testosterone into 11-year-old girls or estrogen into 11-year-old boys and surgically removing their sexual organs is absolutely fine. Castrating young boys and sterilizing young girls is irreversible — and assures they’ll never be able to reproduce, never be able to have children of their own, never live a “normal” life. This is absolute child abuse. We’re talking about things Leftists would never, ever allow even for pedophiles or the worst of sexual predators. Yet they’re doing it to our kids, and we’re not allowed to think or say anything about it, unless we’re “affirming” it.
Even parents no longer have the right to raise their children as they wish. Now, the Almighty State is the parent. School teachers work behind parents’ backs to indoctrinate their kids with all manner of sexual perversion and confusion, and then they’re allowed to help them “transition” to the opposite gender and parents are not even allowed to know about it. Those who find out and oppose these measures are often criminalized, and many have had their children taken away from them by force. Caring parents are now the “child abusers” while the actual abusers — and the worst possible type of abusers, mind you — are the “heroes.”
There was a time when you’d go directly to jail for distributing pornography to children. Now that same pornography has become mandatory reading in our public schools. Recently, a federal judge ruled against a group of parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, saying they have no fundamental right to opt their elementary school-aged children out of reading LGBTQP+ books that are deemed “mandatory” by the school’s curriculum.
In Texas, a powerful school board, governing the entire city of Austin, has approved new sexual education standards that some are calling “a dream scenario for pedophiles.” The new curriculum teaches that there are 50 different genders, gives instructions on how to apply condoms and even offers tips on how to perform graphic sexual positions. It also instructs children how to receive birth control and abortions without their parents’ consent.
Recently, the nation’s largest teacher’s union voted to officially promote child sex-change operations — for children age 5 to 12. And public schools are now allowing children to “identify” as cats, horses and dinosaurs. You heard me right. This is from an article published in June of last year by London’s Daily Telegraph. According to an investigation, schools in the UK are now allowing children to “identify” as all sorts of things. At a state secondary school in Wales, one student is said to ‘meow’ when asked questions by a teacher. In other schools, one apparently insists on being addressed as a dinosaur, one claims to “identify” as a horse, while another wears a cape and demands to be acknowledged as a “moon.”
When a 13-year-old girl in one of those schools objected to her classmate being “affirmed” by teachers as being a cat, the teacher called her “despicable.” This 13-year-old student recorded the conversation with the teacher. The teacher is heard saying, “gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with. Gender is about how you identify...”
The teacher then added, “You are talking about the idea that ‘cisgender’ is the norm, that you identify with the sexual organ you were born with, that’s basically what you’re saying, which is really despicable.” She then insinuated that the girl is homophobic and warned she’d be expelled from the school for thinking this way.
While this particular story is from the UK, the same things are going on in American public schools. We now have litter boxes in restrooms for students to use who “identify” as cats. And the New York State Education Department recently released 42 pages of new guidance for public schools that includes a section about keeping children’s gender transitions a secret from parents.
The report, titled “Creating a Safe, Supportive and Affirming School Environment for Transgender and Gender Expansive Students,” maintains that a student’s gender identity should be based on the student’s own assertion and that administrators should keep such information from families if they deem it necessary.
How are things on our American college campuses? A veteran biology professor in Texas, who has been teaching that sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes was fired after four students walked out of his classroom. Dr. Johnson Varkey has claimed he was let go from his teaching position at St. Philip’s College in San Antonio after he was accused of “religious preaching.”
And in Hernando County, Florida, a 5th grade teacher has stated that “parental rights are gone when your child is in the public school system.” Also in Florida, a pastor was forcibly removed from a school board meeting for reading aloud from a pornographic book found in the local public school library. This happened at the Indian River County School Board meeting. The pastor simply read one sentence from the book before his microphone was cut off and he was arrested. Other parents at the meeting attempted to read from other pornographic books from the local school library and were also cut off.
How is all this working out for the children? After all, they tell us this is all for the “good” of the children. Well, a mother in Appomattox County, Virginia is now suing her local school district because school district employees allegedly “transitioned” her 14-year-old daughter, who was later placed by the public defender in an all-male juvenile facility, where she was sexually assaulted and later kidnapped, raped and sex-trafficked after she ran away from the facility. The Mom had no idea that her daughter was “identifying” as a male at school because school administrators made sure to keep that a secret from her.
And the Los Angeles Unified School District now has a “Rainbow Club,” for children as young as 5. According to the description, “Rainbow Clubs” are "for celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Nonbinary, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Ace and Two-Spirit identities.” These clubs are run by the local schools.
I could go on with more of these stories, but there are just too many. The indoctrination and grooming of our children by demonic, perverted public school officials, teachers and school board members is staggering. It’s one thing if you’re an adult and want to act out sexual deviancy in your own life. But as the LGBTQP+ crowd has told us, they’re now coming for our kids, and they’re not ashamed to admit it. Parents who object are labeled “domestic terrorists.” This is child abuse at the highest levels of perversion. It needs to stop. And if you don’t think it’s happening where you live, you better wake up. It’s everywhere. While students in China are learning reading, writing and arithmetic, students in our country are learning sodomite sex. This is the agenda of those who want to crush America. They’re killing our kids, destroying their minds and souls. Should not ALL of us make time to care about THAT?!

Bloodbath Propaganda
March 19, 2024 Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
BloodbathPropoganda A quote by former President Trump was completely taken out of context and used by the leftist media to create an ongoing propaganda campaign. I will note the full context of his speech, but in short, Trump used the phrase “there will be a bloodbath,” and EVERY media outlet is churning out articles stating that the far-right MAGA Republicans plan for a bloodbath this November.
Here is what Donald Trump actually said:
“China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.
Let me tell you something, to China, if you're listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal — those big, monster car-manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans, and you're going to sell the cars to us?
No, we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars, they're building massive factories.”
Trump was speaking on America’s auto industry. He never said that there would be a “bloodbath” if Biden secured the election, but rather, there would be an economic bloodbath for the nation as a whole. Elon Musk has been using X to clarify Trump’s statements. X is one of the final frontiers of free speech now that TikTok has been banned. It took an individual shelling out over $44 billion to provide the public with access to basic information.
I have never seen an American politician attacked so severely for every word he speaks. The Democrats are now demanding, yet again, that Trump be removed from the ballot for inciting violence. “Promising a bloodbath is disqualifying. I don’t care what you think about other issues,” Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) published on X. “This guy is promising a bloodbath. He needs to lose. Stand up for America. Please.”
Insider trader extraordinaire Nancy Pelosi promoted the propaganda as well. “What does that mean, he’s going to exact a bloodbath? There’s something wrong here,” Pelosi said. “How respectful I am of the American people and their goodness, but how much more do they have to see from him to understand that this isn’t what our country is about?”
Lying to the American public and discrediting our intelligence is disrespectful. The propaganda machine is real and solely pushes the left’s agenda. Many have reminded the public that Joe Biden warned of a “bloodbath” in March 2020 in the event of a Bernie Sanders victory. “What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath,” Biden told a crowd, urging them to back his candidacy over Bernie’s to prevent a MAGA bloodbath. No one twisted his words or called for Biden to be taken off the ballot. The newspapers, magazines, and TV stations did not create spectacular headlines.
The Biden-Harris campaign released the following statement to propel the fake news further:
"This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence," it said. "He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge."
The sad reality is that those who already hate Trump do not care about the context of his comment. Biden’s team has declared that Trump wants a repeat of January 6 if elected. This is one of the reasons why the 2024 US Presidential Election may be the last in our nation’s history. No one will accept defeat, and the swamp is frightened that their untouchable positions will come into question if Trump is reelected. The models show that Trump should win the election, but that does not mean the establishment will permit that to happen.

The Most Serious And Volatile And Consequential War Zone On Earth
March 19, 2024
ne On Earth
Via State of the Nation
The US-UK-UA-EU-NATO terrorist group is literally pushing Russia into a full-blown
WW3 scenario.
Submitted by The Armchair Geopolitical Analyst
There’s a not a week that goes now when the West does not perpetrate a major provocation against Russia.
In point of fact, the US-UK-UA-EU-NATO terror group carries out a devastating terrorist attack on the Russian Oil and Gas Industry with deliberate regularity now—to provoke the bear.
THIS WILL NOT END WELL!
US-UK-NATO Terror Group Launching Terrorist Attacks
Against Russian Oil Industry From Ukraine
This asymmetric terror war, being purposefully waged on both Russian energy infrastructure and civilian population centers, has nothing to do with the Ukraine War; it has to do with the Zio-Anglo-American Axis primary objective of conquering the Russian Federation.
The only goal of these warmongering predatory capitalists is to rape, pillage and plunder the Russian Motherland of all of its vast wealth and natural resources.
Toward that end, their main purpose behind these blatant terrorist attacks is to incite the Russian bear to retaliate so that NATO can officially enter the war and Moscow can be conquered in a day and a night.
Given the amount of weaponry that the U.S. and NATO have stockpiled throughout Eastern Europe, and especially the long-range ballistic missiles which have been sited all over countries such as Poland, the responsible Khazarian Klan of rabidly Russophobic Neocon Zionists really believe they can take over Russia quickly and successfully.
The Germany motive
There is another serious Khazarian aim behind this Western-provoked war in Ukraine which concerns Germany. As follows:
The Zio-Anglo-American Axis knows that a close political/economic alliance between Germany and Russia would spell the final end of the dying US-UK Empire. The Western political establishment will simply not tolerate this; nor will the wealthy elites of US-UK-EU accept the ascendancy of a Russian-German power structure built around the most powerful economic engine the world has ever seen.
What the elites are really afraid of is the natural marriage of German capital, technology, market monopolies and industrial efficiency with Russian natural resources, manpower, scientific knowhow and industrial capacity. Such an economic powerhouse and financial union scares the living daylights out of London and Washington and Tel Aviv.
The West especially knows that a continuous flow of Russian natural gas and oil to Germany was just the beginning of a much closer trading relationship, which the US-UK-EU-NATO warmongers will block by any means (such as blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines). Hence, the Zio-Anglo-American Axis is determined to provoke a devastating war between Russia and NATO in order to thwart any movement toward an enduring detente between Berlin and Moscow.
(Source: IT’S WAR! A Zio-Anglo-American War Against Russia)
Conclusion
However, the Khazarians are quite mistaken in their attempt to conquer Russia, but they don’t even care as they believe they, individually, are not in the line of Russian fire, which will be absolutely devastating and uncompromising to the enemies that they target.
Bottom Line
OPERATION NEOCON
UNRELENTINGLY PUSHING

The DA Drops Charges Against an Illegal Alien from Venezuela Linked with Drug Cartels Who Killed a Transgender Migrant in Broad Daylight – But It Gets Worse
By Kellyanne Richardson - March 19, 2024
A transgender migrant was killed in broad daylight by a man shouting homophobic insults….
The suspect is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela linked to a drug cartel.
But it gets worse:
The DA is DECLINING to charge him.
But it gets even worse than that:
2 days prior, he was charged with multiple felonies, including illegally having a gun.
But that’s not all. It gets even worse.
On March 3, the suspect was arrested yet AGAIN. This time, he drove without any license…..
Early one mild morning last month, a transgender woman who recently migrated from Venezuela was waiting for a ride outside a Little Village nightclub when a driver pulled up and made an ominous remark in Spanish.
“Bad gay,” he allegedly said before firing three shots at the woman around 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 4. She was struck in the groin and both legs and left in critical condition, according to Chicago police records.
She later told investigators that she and her friends had been partying at VLive, 2501 S. Kedzie Ave., a club she described as a meeting ground for new arrivals from Venezuela. A witness also recounted the attack to police, records show.
Detectives began investigating the shooting as a hate crime and eventually homed in on a suspect — a 29-year-old Venezuelan man who was linked to a drug cartel by federal authorities.
With the help of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force, officers took him into custody on Feb. 26 as he left a courthouse in west suburban Maywood.
He had been arrested two days earlier in Austin and hit with a list of charges, including felonies for illegally possessing a gun and ammunition, court records show. After a judge ordered him released that day, police records show he was quickly arrested again and brought in for questioning.
While he had been identified as the gunman and police had recovered key evidence — including a shell casing and video of the Ford Explorer used in the attack — Cook County prosecutors wouldn’t bring charges.
Being an illegal in the U.S. means you’re never held accountable.
You also get everything you want for free and you can commit as many crimes as you want without fear of reprisal.
The worst penalty you’ll face is being deported but the chances of that happening are zero.
On March 3, the suspect in the shooting outside VLive was arrested yet again when police stopped him near a migrant shelter in the Loop, court records show. He was cited for driving without a license and blowing a stop sign, but the case was dropped the following day.
That same day, the U.S. Marshals Service issued a news release that offered an erroneous account of his arrest in the shooting.
The release named the suspect, provided incorrect details about his arrest and wrongly stated that he had been charged. It also used language uncommon for a news release from a federal agency, describing the suspect as “an illegal migrant from Venezuela and an alleged cartel member.”

Archbishop Viganò: ‘The globalist cabal want to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist on earth’
'These murderers will soon find themselves answering for their crimes, if not before the tribunal of the world, then certainly before God,' Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò wrote.

Editor’s note: The following is the full text of a message from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for the “First Health Holocaust Remembrance Day.”
(LifeSiteNews) — Dear Friends,
I am grateful for the invitation of Professor Massimo Citro della Riva to offer my greetings to the participants in the Health Holocaust Remembrance Day. You know well that I have never been shy in offering my interventions since the beginning of the psycho-pandemic farce, and that my complaint – since May 2020 – anticipated everything that has emerged in these four years regarding the criminal management of this social-engineering experiment of neo-Malthusian origin.
What appears today in all its evidence is the subversive plan of a global coup d’état, aimed at the decimation of the world population and the enslavement of the survivors. The pressure for the approval of the WHO Pandemic Treaty and for the health passport – accompanied by the activation of the digital wallet – demonstrate that the authors of this coup have no intention of giving up their criminal intentions, and will not do so unless they are faced with firm and determined opposition from the population and those few of its representatives who are not sold out to the World Economic Forum, by those who courageously do not fail in their duties.

We have seen the false Bergoglian church totally subservient to the genetic treatment agenda, a treatment that was produced using aborted fetuses. We have seen doctors and paramedics killing frail and elderly people in intensive care through the use of anesthesia. We have seen rulers, magistrates, and police forces unleash an unprecedented criminalization of those who did not allow themselves to be “marked.” We know who is behind these people, who pays them, and who blackmails them: their names are well known. These murderers will soon find themselves answering for their crimes, if not before the tribunal of the world, then certainly before God, whom they hate and whom they would like to replace, in a mad delirium of omnipotence that is an inexorable prelude to their eternal defeat. The children of darkness, the conspirators of the World Economic Forum, and the globalist cabal want to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist on earth, as an obscene counterfeit of the Kingdom of Christ Our Lord.
Look at their work: only lies, deception, horror, sin, vice, violence, and monstrosity. And always for a price, because everything they do is an object of exchange, of commerce: you pay to have children, you pay to kill them, you pay to sell their organs, you pay to abuse them, you pay to impose lethal treatments, you pay to live and to die, you pay for the lies of the media and the obscenities of the internet, you pay for the simulation of love and friendship, you pay for the chimera of a digital eternity. You also pay to end up in hell, to damn your soul. While with the things of God, everything is free – it is the fruit of charity, generosity, and magnificence.
You are rightly denouncing the health holocaust: with this term you highlight on the one hand the extent of the crime committed by the servants of the WHO, and on the other the desire to “sacrifice” millions of victims to the globalist Moloch. Do not lose sight of this fundamental element: the extermination – in ways not dissimilar to those that the totalitarian regimes of the last century caused – shows us the ritual aspect of the Great Reset and reveals the culture of death embraced by those who promote it. The death of babies in the mother’s womb; the death of sick and elderly people in hospitals; the death of young people torn from life by drugs; the death of the family in the name of perversions and betrayals; the death of beauty, knowledge, and science. It is a death that affects not only the body, but also the soul, killing the flame of hope within it. And it is significant that those who deny the existence of an otherworldly hell seem to want to do everything to recreate it on this earth, as if to take revenge on us for the fate that inexorably awaits these psychopathic murderers.
Therefore, continue in your courageous commitment, but never lose sight of the overall picture of this epochal battle, in which the forces of good and evil are preparing for a decisive clash. It is important to understand that the psycho-pandemic farce was only one of the means of imposing this infernal plan, and that it is accompanied by other threats that follow the same script under the same direction. Demonstrate to people this overall coherence and even the most distracted will understand and rebel against what has been imposed on them through fraud and violence.

Our Lord said, “The truth will set you free.” He who said of Himself: “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.” It is only the truth of Christ that can free us from the chains of lies and the falsity of the enemy of mankind. Therefore, fight this battle in the awareness that your and our adversary can only be defeated with the weapons of Truth. Saint Paul exhorts us, Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Act with freedom within the bounds of what is good, and the Lord will bless your commitment, as he has always done throughout history for those who love Him and obey His commandments. If you yield on this, you will expose your flank to the Enemy, and all your effort will have been in vain. And remember the words of the Lord: “Do not be afraid, I have overcome the world.”
I bless you with all my heart.

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready. For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later. But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again. It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment. Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding. Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there. You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are. For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them. etc

What Is Happening In Haiti Will Come Here Too
March 18, 2024 by Michael
The kind of rampant civil unrest that has thrown Haiti into turmoil will happen in the United States and other wealthy western nations too. At this point, it is just a matter of time. Here in the United States, we have been adding millions upon millions of extremely desperate people on top of the millions upon millions of extremely desperate people that we already had. Politicians in major cities such as New York and Chicago openly admit that they can’t possibly take any more migrants because the social services available for them have been completely overwhelmed, but more migrants just keep coming anyway. We are creating an extremely explosive environment, and the pressure that is coming in 2024 and beyond could push things over the edge.
If you want an idea of what is coming, just look at what is happening in Haiti right now. Following years of disastrous policies, the entire nation has descended into a state of chaos…
The Republic of Haiti has been sliding toward failed state status for much of the 21st Century, but over the past few weeks, the collapse escalated at a blistering pace. Following the assassination of president Jovenel Moïse in 2021, the prime minister and acting president Ariel Henry has failed to control the gang violence wreaking havoc on the capital, Port-au-Prince. With gangs now controlling as much as 80 percent of the city, Henry traveled to Guyana in February to sign a treaty allowing a contingent of 1,000 Kenyan police officers to patrol Port-au-Prince. But after the gangs shut down the airport and released thousands from prison, Henry was forced to announce his resignation from exile — and delay the police force deployment that could help bring order to the capital.
It would be hard to overstate how nightmarish conditions have become in Haiti.
One British news source is comparing the current state of affairs to “the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max”…
Haiti has been compared to the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max as gang chaos continues.
Gang leaders are still fighting despite absentee Prime Minister Ariel Henry agreeing to resign last week.
With Haitians awaiting the formation of a Transitional Governing Council that is set to take power before elections are held, gangs looted aid supplies over the weekend.
UNICEF said containers with “essential items for maternal, neonatal, and child survival, including resuscitators and related equipment” were snared by gangs in the capital Port-au-Prince on Saturday.
Apparently the Biden administration decided that it would be a good idea to open the floodgates for those that wish to leave Haiti and come here.
According to the Washington Examiner, so far the Department of Homeland Security has helped to relocate more than 130,000 migrants from Haiti in dozens of U.S. cities…
The Department of Homeland Security has guided over 130,000 illegal immigrants from gang-ravaged Haiti into dozens of unidentified American cities, but it won’t say where.
Many of the 133,000 arrived in just one city that the Biden administration won’t identify, according to a federal report reviewed by the Center for Immigration Studies.
The Washington-based CIS, which backs ending illegal immigration, said that many immigrants flew themselves to the unidentified cities, while others arrived through land ports only to be released to wherever they wanted to go.
Of course a lot more are heading our way.
According to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a boat carrying a group of Haitian migrants that had guns, drugs and night vision gear was recently intercepted off the coast of his state…
“Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel, they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear, and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” DeSantis said at a press conference where he signed three pieces of legislation to deter illegal immigration.
“That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation,” the governor said.
Needless to say, it isn’t just extremely desperate people from Haiti that are attempting to come to the United States in very large numbers.
Right now, our borders are under siege from “asylum seekers” that are coming to us from all over the globe.
Migrants have been taught that if they just say the right things about “seeking asylum” they will be let into the country.
And this isn’t just happening at the southern border.
Over the past couple of years, the number of migrants crossing over from Canada has been increasing at an exponential rate…
In fiscal year 2023, border officials encountered 189,401 illegal and inadmissible immigrants along the U.S.–Canada border, including at the ports of entry. Of those, 10,021 were caught crossing illegally between ports of entry.
In fiscal 2021, that number was 916.
Far more have been coming over the southern border.
Overall, we are witnessing a tsunami of migration that is far greater than anything that we have ever witnessed before. The following comes from U.S. Senator John Cornyn…
Under President Biden’s leadership, we’ve seen an unprecedented crisis at our southern border, and an administration that proves time and time again that they simply don’t care.
Since President Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has logged more than 5.4 million illegal border crossings, plus at least 1.5 million “gotaways” – that is, border crossers who were detected by CBP technology, but who were never apprehended.
Once “asylum seekers” are released into this country, they could literally go anywhere.
One migrant from Lebanon that was encountered at the border actually admitted that he was a member of Hezbollah and that he was planning to go to New York City and make a bomb…
A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.
Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by the US Border Patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody, he was asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied, “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.
We were quite fortunate to have caught that guy before he did any damage.
But how many others have successfully entered this country through our wide open borders?
Our politicians go on and on about “threats to national security”, but it is all empty talk unless they are willing to secure our borders.
Because without secure borders, our nation will never be secure.
Unfortunately, more desperate people continue to pour over our borders with each passing day, and it won’t be too long before we reach a tipping point.

How Chinese Tutoring Company Infiltrated Homes And Classrooms Of US Military Bases
March 15, 2024
According to Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, the Chinese tutoring company Tutor.com has infiltrated homes and classrooms of US military bases.
Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, requests that the Pentagon provide details on its agreement with a Chinese-owned tutoring business with access to personal information about American military families.
The well-known tuition website Tutor.com is owned by Primavera Holdings Limited. This Chinese-owned corporation also has interests in the parent company of TikTok, ByteDance, and the e-commerce behemoth Alibaba.
The website provides teaching services to school systems across the nation as well as the US military.
According to the indictment, a federal grand jury in San Francisco has arrested Linwei Ding, a Chinese national and Google engineer, for stealing AI secrets for China.
[jetpack_subscription_form title="Subscribe to GreatGameIndia" subscribe_text="Enter your email address to subscribe to GGI and receive notifications of new posts by email."]
However, according to Cotton, a Chinese-owned business shouldn’t have access to the private information of American schoolchildren and military families.
Cotton said in a statement, “The Department of Defense needs to explain why a Chinese-owned company has easy access to the data for the military families.”
“The same goes for any school district that is utilizing tutor.com.”

At the bottom of the Tutor.com website is a disclosure that the company is owned by Chinese nationals working for Primavera Holdings Limited, a firm based in Hong Kong, China
In February, Cotton had first written to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to inquire about further details on the Pentagon’s agreement with Tutor.com.
He referred to the Pentagon’s economic partnership with Primavera as “ill-advised” and “reckless” in his letter.
Cotton worries that Primavera is under the Chinese Communist Party’s influence, as is the case with TikTok and other sizable companies that have an impact on national security.
In the February letter, Cotton stated, “While providing educational services, Tutor.com collects personal data on users, such as location, internet protocol addresses, and contents of the tutoring sessions.”
“As Chinese national security laws require companies to release confidential business and customer data to the Chinese government, we are paying to expose our military and their children’s private information to the Chinese Communist Party.”
In the meantime, Tutor.com disputed Cotton’s assertions in a released statement.
“Tutor.com is an American company, and we abide by U.S. state and federal laws. We were incorporated in 2000 in the state of Delaware. Our principal place of business is New York City, and all student data is housed in the United States,” a Tutor.com spokesperson said.

“As an American company, Tutor.com cannot be compelled to release personal data to China,” the company continued.
“No personal information of students or families is shared with Primavera, and Primavera does not have—and may not obtain—access to our IT systems.”
Notably, Tutor.com made no mention of the data privacy procedures applied to US military members.
The corporation has confirmed that customer data is neither kept in China nor made available to anyone there, but national security worries on Capitol Hill over Chinese-owned businesses appear to be at an all-time high.
A bill that would outlaw the famous social networking app TikTok from its Chinese parent company ByteDance—in which Primavera has also invested—was voted by the House on Wednesday morning.
By an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 352 to 65, the bill was passed.
The bill was developed over a year by a team of Republicans and Democrats, and President Joe Biden has promised to sign it into law if it makes it through the Senate.
TikTok poses a national security threat, according to the House China Select Committee, because Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials are utilizing ByteDance to utilize the app to spy on the whereabouts of its users in the United States and control its algorithm for influence efforts.

Drag Queen Story Hour, Gender Ideology, LGBT+, Pride
The Collapse of Cultural Christianity—And the Rise of Cultural Queerness
Posted on March 14, 2024 by Jonathon Van Maren
How do nations become post-Christian? To quote Ernest Hemingway: Gradually, and then suddenly.
For decades, the United States has been a bastion of religiosity, bucking the trend of secularization, but in recent years, the needle has begun to move. According to a 2019 poll, between 20% and 25% of American adults now identify as ‘nones’ (meaning that they do not identify with any religion), a percentage that is higher among younger adults than older adults and likely indicative of a long-term trend. According to a 2020 Politico/Morning Consult poll, 49% of voting-age Gen Z (those born after 1996) respondents identified as either agnostic or atheist—a sea change in religious identification.
To unpack those numbers a bit further, consider that a 2017 survey found that only 11% of Americans claimed to have read the entire Bible—meaning that a whopping 89% have not. Thus, it is no surprise that even Americans who still identify as Christian are abandoning any semblance of orthodoxy, with 40% of American Christians claiming that the Bible is ‘ambiguous’ on abortion, 34% rejecting the biblical definition of marriage, and another 34% claiming that abortion is morally acceptable.
There are many reasons for the ‘rise of the nones,’ but one is that many who had merely identified as Christian as a nod to their heritage or culture without actually believing any of its tenets are now abandoning the label as it becomes socially inconvenient. Until recently, identifying as some sort of Christian was a net positive; that’s why elites such as Barack Obama did so. But as it becomes a net negative, many are switching their allegiance to the new cultural elites. This is especially true of younger Americans, who have come of age cut off from their civilizational inheritance and deformed by the public education system.
For example, around a quarter of Gen Z identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or ‘genderqueer’—while just a few years ago, less than 3% of the population identified as on the LGBT spectrum. Politico reported in 2020 that “a third of Gen Zers say they know someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns to refer to themselves and nearly 6 in 10 say forms or online profiles should allow more options than ‘man’ or ‘woman’” and that consequently, “religious liberty, particularly as it relates to discrimination against LGBTQ people … does not at all resonate with younger Americans.”
In short, the upcoming generation of Americans increasingly views religious freedom as overt bigotry. Identification with the LGBT movement is undergoing an astronomical rise; identification with Christianity is plummeting.
Indeed, dozens of new sexual and gender identities have recently been invented, allowing straight people to claim LGBT status as well. In 2023, 38% of Brown University’s student population identified as LGBT—with many simply identifying as ‘other’—up from 14% a decade earlier. An overwhelming majority of those identifying as non-heterosexual in name, however, are only interested in relationships with the opposite sex in practice. As gay rights activist Andrew Sullivan observed, most of those claiming to be bisexual were, in fact, only in relationships with the opposite sex. They’d adopted the label, not the lifestyle.

Another country announces it will require its citizens to accept biometric digital IDs
The momentum continues to build for a global digitalized system that will be the final control grid -- marking, tracking and monitoring the movement of all things, living and non-living.
Leo Hohmann
Mar 11, 2024
Another country, Nepal, has just announced it will submit to the global beast system and digitally mark all of its citizens starting at birth.
I’ve reported on similar moves in many other countries including Australia, the E.U., Ghana, and China, all characterized by a biometric digital ID. The United Nations itself is organizing a global effort to digitally register all births worldwide.
Now, the government of Nepal will require the digital identity of its citizens as it starts assigning them digital ID numbers at birth. This is the so-called “birth registration” that I’ve been warning about for years as it was included in the United Nations Agenda 2030 document signed in 2015 by more than 190 heads of state, including Barack Obama, as part of its “sustainable development goals.” I knew early on that the “legal identity” and “birth registration” required by the UN system would be digital, even though the word “digital” did not appear in the original document.
As reported by the Nepal newspaper, The Kathmandu Post, the Department of National ID and Civil Registration has started issuing digital numbers to pave the way for wider adoption of the national digital identity cards.
Nepal’s national ID is a federal identity card issued by the Department of National ID and Civil Registration with a unique number assigned to each person when their birth is registered by the state. Nepali citizens will obtain the cards based on their biometric and demographic data. The card features a unique number, photo, personal information and the bearer’s fingerprints.
The department claims that the biometric “smart card” will have several uses and that officials can read it using secure terminals.
Mukesh Kumar Keshar, the director at Nepal’s Department of National ID and Civil Registration, said:
“We have been informally providing national ID numbers to people at their birth registration across the country for the past two months. Such numbers are being given to around 2,000 people a day. When a person’s identity is created from early childhood, it will be easier for such persons to get government documents, including the national ID.”
Goal 16.9 of the UN Agenda 2030 calls for a “legal identity for all, including birth registration, by 2030.” The UN says on its website the digital registration of all persons “is key to advance the 2030 Agenda commitment to leave no one behind.”
Let that sink in. They are telling us that, according to their vision, no person on planet Earth will be left behind, meaning all will be required to participate in the beast system. They will be numbered, and have their movement and behaviors tracked and monitored 24/7. This will be so they can track and assess your carbon footprint, among other things.
Nepal will formally launch its digital identity program within a few weeks.
Along with the initiative, the government plans to speed up the national ID card distribution.
The government issued the national ID card in 2018. In November that year, then-home minister Ram Thapa launched the distribution of national identity cards in Panchthar district. It was done as part of a pilot program funded by the Asian Development Bank to distribute digital identification cards in the eastern district.
These things always start with a pilot program, then get made permanent, then get mandated.
It’s only a matter of time until the United States rolls out a similar digital ID plan. In fact, a bill has already been introduced in the US Senate to do exactly that. Interesting how no politician, including Donald Trump, talks about this.

Tense moment Swedish fighter jets intercept Russian warplanes over the Baltic Sea - on the day Scandinavian nation's flag was raised at NATO HQ
The Scandinavian nation officially joined NATO on March 7
The JAS-39 Gripens were called twice to intercept Russian military warplanes
Sweden's fighter jets worked alongside German and Belgian aircraft
By Taryn Pedler
Published: 09:24 EDT, 12 March 2024 | Updated: 12:26 EDT, 12 March 2024
Swedish fighter jets intercepted Russian warplanes over the Baltic Sea, marking a significant moment in their integration with NATO.
The Swedish JAS-39 Gripen jets stormed the skies alongside German and Belgian aircraft on Monday morning after their flag was hoisted at NATO headquarters, in Brussels.
Following Sweden's official accession to the alliance on March 7, its multi-role jets participated in their first visual identification mission as part of the NATO Air Policing mission over the Baltic Sea.
In a show of operational readiness, the JAS-39 Gripens were scrambled twice on March 11 to identify and intercept Russian military aircraft.
NATO's Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Uedem had spotted an unidentified track over the Baltic Sea stretching from Kaliningrad to mainland Russia - sparking controllers to launch the Swedish jets from Sweden.
They also ordered Belgian F-16 fighter jets to launch from Šiauliai Air Base, Lithuania.
Once the allies had taken to the skies, they both visually identified a Russian Tu-134 military aircraft that was not on a flight plan.
Another Russian military aircraft - an Antonov An-26 turboprop - was intercepted later in the same day by the Swedish Jas-39 Gripen jets and German Eurofighters.
The An-26 had appeared on NATO's radar screens and in a tense moment, the CAOC alerted the German Quick Reaction Alert Interceptors at Lielvarde who launched the track.
Sweden's seamless operation alongside the Germans demonstrated how they are already integrated within NATO's Air Power.
'This first real-world mission of Swedish Gripen occurred only days after becoming a NATO member,' NATO said in a statement.
'It is an impressive demonstration of the deep integration the Swedish Air Force has achieved with NATO Air Policing forces.'
The sequence of events proved the impressively dynamic nature of NATO Air Policing operations and the quick response required from member nations.
'This swift coordinated reaction of NATO jets from Belgium, Germany, and Sweden safeguarding the skies over the Baltic Sea region underlines the close integration and responsive command and control arrangements within the Alliance,' wrote NATO's Allied Air Command.
German fighters have been responsible for the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission at Lielvarde since March 1, while Belgian jets have been deployed to Šiauliai since December 1, 2023.
After the visual identification missions had concluded, the NATO jets from Belgium, Germany, and Sweden, returned to their bases.
But this isn't the only recent example of NATO members being scrambled to carry out a double-interception mission of Russian warplanes over the Baltic Sea.
Last month, NATO revealed that two French Mirage 1000-5s intercepted a Russian SU-30-M aircraft before trapping another Putin warplane north of Poland.
It came after the Russian president made a direct threat to nuke the West as he accused NATO and the US of 'preparing to strike' Russia in his annual address to the nation.
Monday's double Russian warplane interception taking place on the same day Sweden's flag was raised at NATO headquarters was also a fresh blow to Russia's tyrant leader Putin, two years on from his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Sweden became the 32nd member of the alliance during a ceremony on March 11 that saw Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Crown Princess Victoria, and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg watch two soldiers raise the blue banner emblazoned with a yellow cross among the official circle of national flags.
Kristerrson boldly said: 'The Russian, brutal, full-scale invasion against Ukraine united Sweden behind the conclusion that a full-fledged NATO membership is the only reasonable choice.'
Sweden's instant display of active engagement signifies it's commitment to fulfilling its obligations within the alliance and strengthens the collective defense posture in the Baltic region - dubbed NATO's lake after they joined the military alliance.
The Scandinavian nation's joining of the alliance adds strength to its power and control over the region and makes it easier for NATO to reinforce its vulnerable Baltic states.
The move has also sparked theories that Western allies, including the UK and US, will be in a strengthened position to crush the crucial Russian shipping route if a war with Moscow breaks out.
But Moscow will still be able to threaten undersea infrastructure from its bases near St Petersburg and in heavily-armed Kaliningrad, with experts warning that NATO must remain alert to the Russian threat.

U.S. Imports Facing Massive Price Surges Which Will Be Felt At Every Store In America, On Top Of Continued Increases In Food, Especially Beef & Egg Products
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline March 11, 2024
This is one of those reports that remind us that increasing manufacturing in the U.S. should be each and every president's goal. The fact that so much what we buy here in America is made in another country because in 2010, China displaced America as the largest manufacturing country in the world.
The Congressional Research Service reported in January 2017, the most recent of its type of report, that "Manufacturing output, measured in each country's local currency adjusted for inflation, has been growing more slowly in the United States than in China, South Korea, Germany, and Mexico, but more rapidly than in most European countries and Canada."
The Wall Street Journal published a piece on March 10, with the headline of "Two Canals, Two Big Problems—One Global Shipping Mess," and a sub-header stating "Drought in Panama and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are delaying deliveries and pushing up costs."
Over 7,000 miles away, vessels that move containers through Egypt’s Suez Canal are waiting for naval escorts or avoiding the passage altogether to take a much longer voyage around South Africa. Ship operators fear that their crews could be imperiled on the journeys through the Red Sea by missile or drone attacks from a Yemen-based rebel group.
The Suez’s problems are geopolitical and those in Panama are climate-based, but both are roiling global trade. Cargo volumes through the Suez and Panama canals have plunged by more than a third. Hundreds of vessels have diverted to longer routes, resulting in delivery delays, higher transportation costs and economic wreckage for local communities.
Everyone knows that when shipping costs rise, the cost to retailers rise, and then they raise the cost to consumers because businesses are not in the business of giving up their profits.
When I read that I wondered how much that would affect Americans?
In December, Reuters provided a handy little chart that tells us exactly who will be affect the most by the issues at the Suez Canal. Those that shop at Walmart or Target being the ones about to see the biggest differences.
ImportGenius, a global trade database, said goods including clothing and accessories such as handbags, men's t-shirts and girls' dresses along with furniture, home decor and everyday items like toothbrushes, made up a majority of the goods transported via the key route so far in December.
It is not often people get enough warning time to take preemptive measures for specific items, but as long as the Iran-backed Houthis continue to attack cargo ships, the higher prices are going to get.
We all saw how bad it could get in 2020 and 2021 when supply chain issues occur. Considering supply hasn't completely recovered since then, and inflation brought prices up exponentially, which are still rising, just be a less, this is is bordering on disastrous.

SURGE PRICING COMING.......
Another WSJ report claims that "surge pricing is coming to more menus near you," where restaurants and/or fast food joints charge more when they are busier than they do when not as busy.
If you are hungry for barbecue on a Saturday night this month, a delivery of a pulled-pork sandwich from Cali BBQ could cost you around $18.
Or you could hold off a few days and order the same sandwich delivered on a weekday afternoon for around $12.
A six dollar difference, at a time when the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, is quite the "surge," and quite unaffordable for most.
Recently it was reported that Wendy's was planning to do the same, raise prices during the busiest times, and after some serious backlash, backtracked as fast as they could.
While that is something other restaurants may do, others such as McDonald's was in the news in the latter part of 2023 for simply raising prices, no "surge" for timing, but ridiculously high pricing, such as $18 Big Mac combo meals, which they explained as "strategic menu price increases."
Remember when we warned about cattle shortages and how it would raise the price of all beef products? Well, here is comes.
Whether sizzling burgers on a backyard grill or relishing a bone-in filet mignon at a local steakhouse, consumers are bracing for a sharp increase in beef prices due to a historic shortage of cattle in the United States. According to the Department of Agriculture's latest biannual cattle report, the number of American beef cows has plummeted to the lowest level in over half a century. This significant decrease in inventory signals no quick resolution, forecasting a prolonged period of escalated meat prices.
When talking "prolonged," they are talking for years to come.
We are now seeing reports that they cattle shortage is about to get worse due to Texas wildfires.
Preppers generally have a decent supply of freeze dried foods, but many might wants to stock up on beef products. While many may be able financially to splurge on a steak here and there, when making casseroles, stews, soups or other menu items that require beef, using handful rather than forced to use an entire, overpriced package, might be the way to go.

Freeze Dried Ground Beef by Nutristore | 80 Large Servings | Pack of 4 | Premium Quality | USDA Inspected

For those who eat pork? Stock up at the store because this is where the good news comes in. Pork prices are stable for the moment, and projected to remain that way for a while at least, barring a swine flu surprise.
Egg prices are on the rise again due to bird flu, affecting egg laying hens more than chicken prices. According to Fox News "The average price for a dozen grade A eggs in the U.S. has risen from $1.27 in January 2021 to $2.52 in January 2024, a 52.6% increase."

Last but not least, after years of rising prices it is difficult to tell exactly how much more you are paying for individual food products, but a piece that came out on March 10 over at Cincinnati The Enquirer gives us a great visual of how high of a percentage key foods have risen since the lockdowns by state leaders in March 2020.

Biden a ‘rare kind of idiot’ – Medvedev
March 12, 2024
Via RT
The senior Russian official has mocked the US leader’s latest gaffe
US President Joe Biden’s recent blunder in which he mixed up Ukraine and the Middle East sums up his poor mental state, former Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev has claimed.
Biden’s gaffe came in an interview with MSNBC on Saturday, as he discussed the Israeli military campaign in Gaza with host Jonathan Capehart. The US leader said West Jerusalem should not repeat the mistakes that Washington made following the September 2001 terrorist attacks.
“America made a mistake. We went after Osama bin Laden until we got him, but we shouldn’t have gone into Ukraine,” Biden stated. He then corrected himself, saying he meant “the whole thing in Iraq and Afghanistan,” referring to the US invasions and occupation of the two Middle Eastern nations. Confusing places and people has been a recurring issue for the 81-year-old president.
Medvedev, who serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, posted a short clip of the gaffe on Sunday on social media, adding: “A rare kind of idiot.”
Some Russian officials have suggested that Biden’s slip of the tongue was Freudian.
“He didn’t mix it up. He can no longer keep to himself what everyone understands – the US has disgraced itself in the bloodiest manner with the whole Ukrainian project,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Moscow perceives the Ukraine conflict as a US-led proxy war against Russia, in which Ukrainian soldiers serve as ‘cannon fodder’. The Russian military estimated that by the end of February, Kiev’s military losses had reached 444,000.
In the nine-minute interview with MSNBC, Biden mentioned Ukraine once, calling out former President Donald Trump for his skeptical attitude towards NATO. The incumbent leader described the organization as “critical to our national defense.” Moscow has cited the expansion of the military bloc in Europe as a key cause of the hostilities with Ukraine.

Data of half the population of France stolen in its largest ever cyberattack. This is what we know
According to Padova, this is "the biggest security breach in France".
This is what we know about the attacks and which data was stolen.
What happened?
Two companies - Viamedis and Almerys - are service providers for medical insurance companies. They were victims of a cyberattack that occurred five days apart at the beginning of February.
According to the first provider, Viamedis, the hackers phished and used health professionals' logins to get into the system.
Almerys said that the hackers had not breached its central system but had accessed a portal used by health professionals
The two providers have filed complaints with the public prosecutor and an investigation is underway.
Which data were stolen?
Over 33 million people - just under half of the French population - were affected by the data leak, which included details like "the marital status, date of birth and social security number, the name of the health insurer and the cover provided by the policy" of the individuals impacted, according to the French data protection authority (CNIL).
The CNIL assured that "no bank details, medical data, postal address, telephone number or e-mail are involved".
Four simple ways to improve your online security and protect your data from hackers
What are the consequences?
The "tiers payant," a payment system in which the patient doesn't have to pay the full cost of medical services upfront, may be unavailable for certain health professionals but still available for the patients.
The CNIL warned users against phishing risks, especially as the new data leaked could be combined with other information from previous data breaches.
Users should be especially careful to double-check the authenticity of emails, texts, and calls claiming to be from official organisations.
The people whose data were compromised will be contacted to be individually informed by their health insurance to comply with GDPR guidelines.

AI, palm scanners, facial recognition, augmented reality and more: The dystopian future is NOW
03/11/2024 // Ethan Huff // 2K Views
People often say that, unless something is done to stop it, the world will become a dystopian nightmare at some point in the future. The reality, though, is that we are already there.
Just in the past several years, advancements in things like AI (artificial intelligence), cashless payment systems, augmented reality and more have happened so quickly that one could argue that we are in dystopia right now – though there is still much more to come.
Unless some kind of black swan event puts an immediate stop to it, the dystopian future will rapidly become the dystopian present – and in many ways it already is.
Take palm scanning, for instance. Paying for food and other items with a swipe of the hand rather than with cash or credit used to be a futuristic concept from the Book of Revelation. However, some stores are already using it, including Whole Foods Market and its parent company Amazon at its Amazon Fresh stores.
"The palm-recognition system works by linking a user's payment information with their unique palm print," explains The Exposé (United Kingdom). "If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can also link it with your Prime account – no need to fumble in the Amazon app looking for your in-store code any longer."
"At Whole Foods, you just hover your palm over the reader once you're ready to pay and the system will find your Prime account, apply any discounts and charge the credit card you enrolled with."
(Related: Big Tech is currently working on erasing white people and their history from the internet.)
When reality becomes a video game
What about facial recognition systems? At the recent G20 gathering of dystopian globalist leaders in Brazil, every attendee was forced "to pass a biometric validation process by scanning their faces using Serpro's stand devices."
Serpro, by the way, is a Brazilian government-run data processing agency that plans to unleash facial recognition all across the land. In order to buy and sell in the near future, one will probably have to undergo a face scan, as well as pay with the swipe of the hand rather than with cash or credit.
"If they can start getting this technology in place, it will inevitably be adopted by more and more institutions," The Exposé warns. "And then someday you may wake up and find that you can't get a job, open a bank account or buy groceries without having your face scanned – What will you do then?"
Apple just released its infamous Apple Vision Pro augmented reality headset to "augment reality" on a continual basis, making day-to-day life more of a video game than actual reality. This will tie in well with facial recognition and palm-scanning payment systems.
"Apple claims that the Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499, is the beginning of something called 'spatial computing,' which basically boils down to running apps all around you," The Exposé explains.
"And the company's ads for it do not hedge that pressure even a little: they show people wearing the Vision Pro all the time. At work! Doing laundry! Playing with their kids! The ambition is enormous: to layer apps and information over the real world – to augment reality."
Then there is Elon Musk's new Neuralink brain implant chip, which will turn humans into transhumanist robot hybrids. For some reason, a lot of conservatives love Musk because he says a lot of conservative-pandering things on X, but the guy is all about destroying humanity and turning everyone into hybrid computers.
Human life is sacred, as is the natural world around us, but Musk and others like him want to destroy it by "augmenting" or "hybridizing" the natural world, humans included, with computers. Just say no, as the late Nancy Reagan once said.

Sheriff’s sergeant dies during fight at Upstate NY casino; 2 arrested
Updated: Mar. 11, 2024, 8:41 a.m.|Published: Mar. 11, 2024, 8:23 a.m.
By Geoff Herbert | gherbert@syracuse.com
A longtime veteran of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office is dead after a fight at an Upstate New York casino.
Genesee County Sheriff’s Sgt. Thomas Sanfratello, 54, died Sunday morning while on special assignment working at the Batavia Downs casino, located 35 miles west of Rochester. Police said he was notified of a verbal confrontation inside the casino around 12:45 a.m., and responded to the altercation.
Sanfratello and Batavia Downs security staff began escorting two customers, 33-year-old Michael J. Elmore and 39-year-old Lyndsey Jean Wilcox, out of the casino bar. According to the Democrat & Chronicle, Wilcox became physically combative with Sanfratello, who was attempting to restrain her, when Elmore interfered and attacked Sanfratello.
A brawl ensued and Sanfratello attempted to use a Taser on Elmore. Sanfratello became unresponsive during the incident and died at the scene, despite CPR efforts.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family members of Sergeant Sanfratello and all the members of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office at this extremely difficult time,” Batavia Police Department Chief Shawn Heubusch said in a statement.
According to WIVB, Sanfratello was a 32-year veteran of law enforcement. He started his career as a dispatcher with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office in 1992, was appointed a Deputy Sheriff in 1996 and was promoted to Sergeant in 2007.
“The Batavia Downs Family is extremely saddened by the loss of Sergeant Sanfratello and send our very deepest condolences to his family. We rarely have incidents at our facility in large part due to the incredible efforts of people like Sergeant Sanfratello,” Batavia Downs said in a statement Sunday. “While words cannot express our sorrow, our thoughts and prayers are with the Sanfratello family and his extended first responder family.”
The City of Batavia Police Department is leading the investigation into the incident.
Elmore and Wilcox, both of Batavia, were arrested on multiple felonies. Elmore is charged with first-degree manslaughter, aggravated assault upon a police officer and second-degree burglary, according to the Batavia Police Department. Wilcox is charged with second-degree burglary and attempted assault.
Elmore and Wilcox were held at Genesee County Jail and arraigned, according to the Democrat & Chronicle. Both are scheduled to appear in Town of Batavia Court on March 12.
According to the New York Post, the casino was briefly closed after the incident but has since reopened.

WEF Demands Governments Make ‘Concerted Effort’ to Silence Critics
Frank Bergman March 10, 2024 - 12:54 pm 22 Comments
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has issued a demand for governments and Big Tech companies to make a “concerted effort” to silence critics of the unelected globalist organization’s agenda.
The WEF claims that it is seeking to stamp out wrongthink as part of its alleged fight against so-called “disinformation.”
Klaus Schwab’s organization is now insisting that global governments, media, tech companies, and civil society must ramp up efforts for the “anti-disinformation” campaign.
In a statement, the WEF argues that “disinformation” is a threat to “our ecosystem.”
The Switzerland-based group wants “experts” to explain to world leaders and bureaucrats how to “curb” opposition to the globalist agenda.
In a post on its website, the WEF praises the European Unions and its draconian EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
Some of the key components of the DSA, which was drafted by unelected Eurocrats, have led to the legislation being dubbed “the censorship law.”
However, the WEF is demanding answers from other nations who have yet to push through similar tyrannical measures.
The WEF blames digital technology and what it calls a “fragmented media ecosystem” for the supposedly unprecedented amounts of “disinformation.”
In the statement on its website, the WEF uses fearmongering about artificial intelligence (AI) to advance its disinformation agenda.
However, while raising the alarm about the so-called “threat” of “disinformation,” at no point does the WEF take issue with provably false information.
The organization and its globalist allies appear laser-focused on eliminating “disinformation” and “misinformation” but they never refer to information that is simply either true or false.
Of course, the truth has never been part of the agenda.
However, according to the WEF, the corporate media, governments, Big Tech, and globalists are not to blame for the public losing trust in these institutions.
The WEF insists that “disinformation” is responsible.
To fight this alleged issue and restore trust in the corporate media, the WEF is demanding that a society-wide “war on misinformation” must be launched.
For this “war,” the WEF wants the most powerful forces in society to close ranks and put up “a multi-layered defense against the spread of disinformation.”
During a panel at the recent Davos meeting, EU bureaucrats and New York Times and WSJ head honchos et al got passed off as “truth experts.”
The corporate media elites that spoke on the Davos panel similarly parrotted the WEF’s talking points.
Meredith Kopit Levien of the New York Times said during the session in Davos that globalists simply want to “help the public.”
“We need to help the public be more media literate as to the value and importance of independent journalism,” Levien told WEF elites.
“People find it very hard for many reasons to distinguish what it is and is not.”
Emma Tucker of the Wall Street Journal added:
“Trust is our most valuable asset.
“And the minute we let go of that, our business models will fall apart.”

China Is Actively Preparing For War With The United States
March 10, 2024 by Michael
At a time when their economy is really struggling, the Chinese are increasing military spending and ramping up preparations for war. But who is China preparing to fight a war with? Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious. Yes, the border dispute between India and China could erupt into something significant, but that is not likely. The only other opponent that the Chinese would be fighting a major war with would be the United States. And right now, Chinese shipyards are churning out military vessels at a pace that the U.S. simply cannot match…
The US cannot match the pace of building in the shipyards of Shanghai, which have already turned out two new aircraft carriers with a third expected to begin sea trials soon.
The latest vessel, the Fujian, features catapults to launch heavy, fixed-wing aircraft with immense bomb payloads. These shipyards are also building a new type of amphibious assault vessel, and many roll-on, roll-off ferries, which could have a dual purpose – transporting cars in peacetime, and armoured assault vehicles in the event of an attack on a neighbour, such as Taiwan.
Of even greater concern is the vast network of tunnels that the Chinese have been constructing.
We are being told that this network of tunnels makes the Hamas tunnels under Gaza “look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit”…
While the West has been scaling back its military spending in favour of welfare and healthcare, China has been building artificial islands as naval bases and airfields. Less obvious but more ominous, it has also been digging a vast network of tunnels and bunkers that make the Hamas warrens in Gaza look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit.
The Chinese tunnels stretch for hundreds of miles and their plans are so closely guarded that Western intelligence agencies have little idea what is down there.
Domestic spies in the pay of the West, who have attempted to smuggle out information, have been caught and executed.
Nobody knows why China has been putting so much effort into these tunnels.
Are they anticipating that vast numbers of Chinese will need to shelter underground during an apocalyptic conflict with the United States?
In recent years, the Chinese have been feverishly upgrading and expanding their strategic nuclear arsenal…
Most alarming of all is the build-up of nuclear missiles. Throughout the Cold War, though China has been a nuclear power from the mid-1960s, its atomic arsenal was limited. By the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the People’s Liberation Army had only 30 or 40 long-range nuclear missiles – because that, it believed, was more than enough. As President Deng Xiaoping chillingly taunted American journalists: ‘How many Los Angeles can you afford to lose?’
That policy has changed. More than 100 nuclear missiles with multiple warheads have already been built and armed, with production expected to exceed 500 by the end of this decade, if not sooner.
The moment the Chinese invade Taiwan, they know that it will mean war with the United States.
If that war is limited to conventional weaponry, the Chinese will win a war in Taiwan, and every war game that our leaders have conducted in recent years has shown this.
The U.S. could try to threaten China with nukes, but if China now possesses enough missiles to wipe out dozens of U.S. cities our leaders may not want to risk a nuclear confrontation.
The Chinese know that most battles are won before they are ever fought.
So they are trying to position themselves for a positive outcome before the very first missile is fired at Taiwan.
Interestingly, as talk of war with China has heated up, the number of Chinese migrants coming over our southern border has spiked exponentially.
In fact, CBS News is reporting that the number of Chinese migrants encountered at the border is now 50 times higher than it was two years ago…
Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended crossing illegally from Mexico into the U.S.…that’s 50 times more than two years earlier.
In many cases, groups of military-age Chinese men all decked out in similar equipment are being encountered.
Of course they have been trained to say all the right things, and so the Biden administration is letting them in.
Meanwhile, western nations continue to prepare for an all-out war with Russia…
Several European countries have raised concerns that Russia’s war against Ukraine could eventually lead to a greater conflict between Moscow and NATO. The military alliance has taken several steps to bolster its defense systems along its eastern border in recent months, including by conducting trainings in the spring for over 90,000 troops from all 32 of the member states in countries that share a border with Russia, such as the Baltic nations and Poland.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have been some of the loudest members of NATO that have urged the Western bloc to prepare for Russia’s next offensive in the region. Estonia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, for example, has said that Russia is preparing for war against NATO countries within the next 10 years.
All of those NATO troops are not going to do much good if a conflict with Russia goes nuclear.
As Bloomberg has reported, Russia has 10 times more tactical nukes than the U.S. does.
Sadly, the Russians also have the advantage when it comes to strategic nukes. As I detail in my latest book, the Sarmat is the most sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missile on the entire planet. Meanwhile, hopelessly outdated Minuteman missiles that originally went into service in the 1970s continue to form the backbone of the U.S. arsenal.
The Russians also have the most advanced anti-missile systems in the world by a very wide margin, and we don’t have any anti-missile systems that can handle what the Russians can throw at us.
Considering how the balance of power has changed, perhaps we should have tried to find a peaceful resolution to the mess in Ukraine.
But now that window appears to have closed for good…
A top ally of Vladimir Putin has claimed the relationship between the US and Russia is worse than during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, as the Kremlin accused the West of ‘direct involvement’ in the war in Ukraine.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made the comments in a public speech, and added that the Kremlin has ruled out peace talks with Ukraine, as its invasion of the nation entered its third year.
Medvedev said Russia would prosecute what it calls its ‘special military operation’ until the other side capitulated. He said that what he called historical parts of Russia should ‘return home.’
Medvedev was speaking in front of a map of Ukraine which showed the country as a much smaller landlocked rump of territory squeezed up against Poland with Russia in complete control of its east, south and Black Sea coastline.
We really are living at a time of wars and rumors of wars.
On top of everything else that I have discussed, the war in the Middle East could dramatically escalate at any moment, and North Korea’s military has been put in a state of “heightened readiness for war”…
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected field training of troops at a major military operations base in the western region of the country on Wednesday and ordered heightened readiness for war, the state Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Thursday.
The tour of the base, the location of which was not identified, came after the start of annual combined military drills by US and South Korean forces on Monday in the South. Twice the number of troops took part compared to last year.
I am entirely convinced that 2024 will be a year of war.
Of course countless others see things the exact same way.
The hot phase of World War III is rapidly approaching, and right now there is a great deal of talk about how to get prepared for such a scenario…
Your phone is out of action, the electricity has cut out and there’s no way to reach food. What’s your game plan?
These are questions people have been urged to explore as the risk of ‘World War Three’ seemingly grows.
With the Doomsday Clock – a scientific invention which measures how close the Earth is to disaster – remaining at 90 seconds to midnight, Admiral Rob Bauer, who chairs NATO’s Military Committee, has warned people to make basic preparations for a potential ‘full-blown war’.
‘You need to have water, you need to have a radio on batteries and you need to have a flashlight on batteries to make sure that you can survive the first 36 hours’, he said. ‘It starts there, the realisation that not everything is plannable.’
Unfortunately, if you are only preparing to survive for 36 hours you are not going to last very long at all once the missiles start flying.
At this moment, most people living in the western world have no idea how much the hot phase of World War III will change all of our lives.
If they really understood what was coming, they would be loudly demanding peace.
Sadly, it will be way too late when most of the population finally awakens from their slumber.

Rest Easy Britain; THIS is what's protecting you!
World Hal Turner 10 March 2024 Hits: 8562
The Military sales pitch doesn't match the reality. That's a conclusion being drawn by many after seeing what happened to a "Challenger 2" Tank on the Battlefields of Ukraine: Russia eats them for breakfast!
Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land is a large Defense Contractor. They make various types of equipment and tout the reliability of that equipment. Here's what they say they do:
As an integrated technology group, the listed company Rheinmetall AG, headquartered in Düsseldorf, stands for a company that is as strong in substance as it is successful internationally, and that is active in various markets with an innovative range of products and services. Rheinmetall is a leading international systems supplier in the defence industry and at the same time a driver of forward-looking technological and industrial innovations in the civilian markets. The focus on sustainability is an integral part of Rheinmetall's strategy. The company aims to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2035.
Through our work in various fields, we at Rheinmetall take on responsibility in a dramatically changing world. With our technologies, products and systems, we create the indispensable basis for peace, freedom and sustainable development: security.
They manufacture the "Challenger 2" Tank.
Here's how they advertise some of it:
The sales pitch is straight forward:
But the Sales Pitch doesn't seem to match the reality.
Here's the reality from the battlefields of Ukraine:
That is a "Challenger 2" Main Battle Tank built by Rheinmetall / BAE Systems Land.
The sales pitch says it can operate in "high intensity conflict." In reality . . . . apparently not so much.
Wow! Turret blasted out of the hole in the center top of the tank, where it used to rest. Wheels blown off and/or melted. Tracks destroyed. Side armor over tracks and wheels blown to smitherines.
Somehow, this does not look as one might expect a "main battle tank" to look, on a battlefield.
What did this tank encounter that killed it? The Russian Army.
If this is the best that NATO has to offer, then as a layman, I can't help but feel NATO is sadly lacking. Deluding themselves as to the "superiority" of their forces.
If these are what would be put up against Russia, it seems to me NATO doesn't have a chance!
But that's not __really__ the point, now, is it?
The actual point is how much these tanks cost taxpayers, and how much the military-industrial-complex (MIC) can pocket. I asked Google "How much does a Challenger 2 tank cost. Here's the response:
So presuming Google is correct, for $4.9 MILLION dollars each, taxpayers can rest easy knowing this is "protecting" them.
Or . . . maybe not rest so easy after seeing what happens in the real world!
OK, to heck with resting easy, just pay the money and buy more tanks . . . the MIC has to earn profit! They have to donate to political campaigns so the politicians they get elected can . . . buy more tanks!
You really shouldn't be paying attention to stories like this; might be bad for Rheinmetall/ BAE Systems Land, sales.

Do they know something we don't? American titans Jeff Bezos, Leon Black, Mark Zuckerberg, Jamie Dimon and Walmart's Walton family sell a staggering $11 BILLION in stock - as billionaires cash out before looming election
Jeff Bezos - the world's third-richest man - sold $8.5billion in Amazon this month
Mark Zuckerberg - the world's fourth-richest - sold about $638million in Meta
Jamie Dimon, Leon Black, and the Waltons also sold stocks, sparking concerns
By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.Com
Published: 19:31 EDT, 10 March 2024 | Updated: 07:42 EDT, 11 March 2024
American billionaires are selling stocks by the boatload - sparking fears of an impending financial disaster.
Jeff Bezos - the third-richest man behind Louis Vuitton's Bernard Arnaut and Elon Musk - unloaded $8.5billion in Amazon shares this month alone.
Mark Zuckerberg - the fourth-richest - sold about 1.4 million Meta shares worth roughly $638million.
Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan, shilled $150 million this past week, in his first cash-out since taking the reins at the bank nearly two decades ago.
Within days, Apollo Global Management's Leon Black also enacted his first-ever sale, shedding $172.8million in his equity firm after 34 years. Walmart's Walton family sold $1.5billion in a week, bringing its total sale proceeds to $2.3billion since December.
The series of transactions were all made within weeks of each other, and have already sparked conversation amongst onlookers.
Experts this week theorized the sales could be the result of the looming election, and as the S&P 500 index - a decent measure of the larger economy - remains at an all-time high.
'If you're reading the tea leaves and looking at what may happen with our politics in the next year or so, things are pretty good right now - the markets are up,' finance firm consultant Alan Johnson told Fortune late last month.
The staffer at Manhattan-based Johnson Associates went on to suggest the sales could be the result of potentially volatile fall, to coincide with the upcoming general election.
'With our politics and everything else going on geopolitically, maybe it won't be as good a year from now or two years from now,' he conceded.
The expert then pointed to the S&P 500's recent, impressive performance, and how it has risen more than 27 percent in the past year.
This development added billions to the portfolios of the figures responsible for the recent sales within a year, Johnson reminded - adding that these execs are currently 'more in the money' than expected.
Because of this, Johnson said that diversifying their holdings - at least from an investor's standpoint - is a good idea.
As they hedge their bets, the stockholders could also be taking advantage of current tax breaks, in case they are eliminated under a new administration, the finance consultant said.
Many of those breaks were put forth during the Trump administration, Johnson said - meaning another Biden win could mean they will finally be put to bed.
Further stoking fears were statements from major financial market players in recent weeks - some of which did suggest that the sudden stock dump could be the result of something greater behind the scenes.
American Hartford Gold, a company that shills gold and other metals to investors, suggested in a promo video published on the firm's website late last month that the large liquidations may be a sign of a still-to-come economic dip.
Airing the waring was the Senior Director Mechi Block, who suggested the CEOs - using their different perspective on the economy - were 'getting out before the tech bubble bursts.'
'Billionaire CEOs like [Jeff] Bezos, [Mark] Zuckerberg, Jamie Dimon, and the Walton family are selling off massive amounts of their own stocks, and analysts think the CEOS may be bracing for an economic downturn,' he said in the February 29 clip.
'An overheated stock market continues to climb to new heights,' he continued, adding, 'as investors feed that frenzy out of fear of missing out, economic insiders are unloading billions of dollars worth of stocks.'
He said their motivation, while unproven, 'could hold serious implications for regular Americans.'
He went on to lay out the transactioins and who made them, before offering a theory starkly similar to that of Johnson and several other seasoned experts.
'These stocks,' he said, 'are being sold as the S&P 500 index is at an alltime high' - a marker he credited to just 'seven' companies, many of which are fun during the figures in question.
He went on to point to how these companies have performed as the S&P flourished.
'Meta stock has soared 186 percent, JPMorgan is up nearly 30 percent, and Amazon has actually surged close to 90 percent. All three companies are trading close to record highs,' he said.
'Analysts think the trigger for this mass selling could be the upcoming election, and the volatility that will most certainly bring.
'Selling,' he added, 'implies that the shares are fully valued, and it is time to get out while the getting is good.'
Like Johnson, he theorized wealthy stockholders may want to take advantage of stock breaks implemented during the Trump years, before they are potentially removed by new Congress.
'Selling massive chunks of stocks may also send a more dire message to individual investors,' he further warned.
'Typically if CEOs are buying shares, it shows a confidence in the future growth potential of that company.
'It is also possible these billionaire's view from above could be giving them a different perspective of the economy, and where it's headed.
Citing how Dimon recently sound the alarm on the astronomical growth of government debt, and the lingering impacts of inflation and growing geopolitical conflicts, he encouraged Americans to contact the company to buy gold as a way to hedge financial risk tied to stock markets.
As a result, Gold was trading near record highs a little over a week later, valued at around $2,193.80 USD an ounce

“Mother of Russian bombs”: Fire tornado from a 20-story building and horror in Kyiv

Russian glide bombs will become weapons of victory

Before the start of the spring offensive, the Russian army receives more and more new types of weapons. Among them is the FAB-1500-M54 “superbomb” that strikes terror into the Kyiv generals. It will be the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the Russian arsenal: a glide bomb capable of creating a fireball as tall as a 20-story building.
The Canadian-Indian The Eurasian Times was the first to write about the development of the FAB-1500-M54 among major Western publications six months ago. Military expert Sakshi Tiwari even then admired the power of the new Russian weapon, which was used for the first time in the Northern Military District zone. The bomb leaves behind a crater with a diameter of 15 meters, and the immediate affected area exceeds 2 square meters. km. At the same time, the glide bomb has a hit accuracy of up to 5 meters.
Each bomb carries about 700 kg of explosives, which makes it possible to destroy fortified Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities, for example, underground bunkers, command centers, large ammunition depots, and bridges.
The bomb can be carried by Su-34 and Su-35 fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces. In particular, the Su-34 can carry two new aerial bombs (in the future, their number will be increased to three). With such ammunition, the Su-34 can launch all bombs at one target, guaranteeing its complete destruction, or aim at several different ones.
“The maximum range of the bomb is much greater than that of existing lighter bombs such as the FAB-500 M62,” The Eurasian Times wrote. — With a speed of initial detachment from the air carrier of 800-900 km/h, glide path bombs are planned at a range of up to 80 km.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat has repeatedly stated that Kiev simply does not have effective air defense systems to counter Russian bombing. Only during the decisive phase of the battle for Avdiivka, about 20-30 different glide bombs were fired at Ukrainian positions per day. At the same time, as Ignat emphasizes, the increased range of gliding bombs allows them to be launched far beyond the range of Ukrainian air defense.
Currently, Russian aviation is using gliding aerial bombs of the UPAB and FAB types in the Northern Military District zone. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have no analogues of such weapons; only the American-made JDAM-ER is remotely similar. However, JDAM-ERs are much more demanding and expensive. In addition, the Pentagon has provided the Kyiv regime with a limited number of aerial bombs, while Russia’s stockpiles of nuclear bombs are huge. The FAB-250 bomb, for example, was produced by the USSR immediately after the end of World War II. A controlled planning and correction module (UMPC) is simply attached to old bombs; each of them costs only about 800 thousand rubles.
Russian air bombs are equipped with a combination of satellite and laser navigation. First, a bomb using GLONASS enters the affected area, and then uses a laser to directly find the target.
The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that the most common aerial bombs FAB-250 and FAB-500 are used on all axes of attack. In particular, on the Artemovsko-Soledarsky section of the Krasnolimansky direction (in the Chasov Yar area), on Kupyansky (in the area of Ivanovka and Kislovka), Khersonsky (and not only in the Krynok area, but also on the right bank, for example, in the Kachkarovka area, from where shelling of Russian positions).
Near Kupyansk, it was the FAB that was used to destroy bridges across Oskol, which cut off the supply of Ukrainian groups on the left and right banks of the river.
In Avdeevka, it was possible to ensure air superiority, along with the active use of FAB. In many ways, it was they who broke the Ukrainian defense in a powerful fortified area.READ ALSO
The grimace of military fate: Kyiv, deprived of its fleet, forces Russia to retreat from the Black SeaWho is to blame for the fact that the enemy BEC, discovered by our dry cargo ship on the approach to the Crimea in half a day, took the Sergei Kotov by surprise at the Crimean Bridge?
— Russian FAB-250 bombs carry explosives weighing 99 kg, have a destruction radius of 120 meters and can destroy manpower, equipment and light fortifications. The FAB-500 carries 150 kg of explosives, has a destruction radius of 250 meters and can destroy headquarters, warehouses, as well as concrete and reinforced concrete objects, says ISW.
Now NATO intelligence is seriously worried that Iran could allegedly transfer new types of glide bombs to the Russian army. At least this was stated by US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby . It’s not even clear whether Kirby meant components or completely finished bombs.
Iran does produce various glide bombs such as Ghaem, Yasin, Sadid and Balaban. The Iranians use them with their drones, including the legendary Shahed-131 and Shahed-136. Iran presented several variants of glide bombs at the Army 2023 forum in Moscow. However, there have been no reports of deliveries, ISW emphasizes.
The European Union also unfoundedly accused Iran of supplying Russia with attack drones and even ballistic missiles, without providing absolutely any evidence. However, evidence was not needed to impose sanctions on Iran. Obviously, now there will be similar speculation around planning aerial bombs. Although why would Russia buy them from Iran if Russian reserves are truly limitless?!

Dramatic moment Russians 'destroys two $400m US-made Patriot surface-to-air missile systems in one hypersonic Iskander strike' in costly blow to Ukraine
Patriot missile systems cost up to $400m without the missiles
Ukraine is understood to have had five before the attack
Each missile can cost up to $6million
By Perkin Amalaraj
Published: 07:47 EDT, 10 March 2024 | Updated: 07:51 EDT, 10 March 2024
Dramatic aerial footage reportedly shows the moment two US-made truck-mounted quad-launchers for the Patriot surface-to-air missile systems are destroyed.
A giant explosion followed a strike by a Russian hypersonic Iskander missile.
The Russians have called it the first video-confirmed destruction of the Patriot complex displayed by Ukraine. Each system is believed to cost $400million, while missiles can cost up to $6million each.
The hit comes after Ukraine is believed to have deployed the Patriot to down a succession of Russian war planes in recent weeks.
If confirmed - and Russia initially claimed Ukrainian S-300 complexes had been blitzed - the strike is a severe blow to Ukraine.
Ukraine only had five of the Patriot systems before this strike, and each battery, with missiles included, cost around a billion dollars each.
Patriots have been supplied to Ukraine by the US, the Netherlands and Germany.
The strike came as the Patriot equipment was being moved near the frontline, seemingly without air cover, near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, according to reports.
The Patriot has been key to Ukraine to defend major cities from incoming strikes but also as an offensive weapon to blow Putin's warplanes out of the sky.
The system has proved effective against the hypersonic Iskander missile, but it was an Iskander that hit the Patriot complex and its support vehicles here.
Loyalist pro-war channel Military Informant called it 'the first confirmation of the destruction of two American MIM-104 Patriot air defence systems'.
It appears a Russian military drone had spotted the Patriot movement and relayed the data to enable the clinical Iskander targeting.
Russian state news agency TASS claimed that three launchers may have been destroyed but other sources reported two.
'The Iskander tactical missile system presumably wiped out three launchers of the US-made Patriot system near Pokrovsk,' a source told TASS.
Each battery has five components: The missiles themselves, the missile launcher, a radar antenna, a control truck and a power-plant truck.

Two Visions, Two Agendas, No Middle Ground
By Lex Greene|March 11th, 2024
A war for the future of American freedom, liberty, sovereignty, security, and prosperity is already underway. Just because tanks aren’t rolling in the streets yet, doesn’t mean that our country isn’t already at war within. Anyone the least bit awake, already knows.
There’s been much talk about the unprecedented depth of political divisions in our country for years, and trust me when I tell you, it’s no accident. Not one single American citizen benefits from these deep divisions. However, every corrupt politician and the corrupt anti-American global cabal they work for, benefits from their planned “divide and conquer” operations.
No Middle Ground
While some still asleep banter back and forth about “compromise” and some silly alleged “bipartisanship” that hasn’t existed for decades, the reality is that compromise is not possible when there’s no middle ground upon which to meet and agree.
Just as there’s no middle ground between life and death, there’s no middle ground between the two competing visions and agendas for America. There’s no place where compromise is possible. Adherents to the two competing agendas are dug in, unable to even discuss issues peacefully, with neither side seeking any form of compromise, more interested in cancelling their opponents than listening to them.
This means that one side will have to defeat the other, in order to set the future course for America, and all the marbles hang in the balance. With all the marbles in play, nothing can be left to chance.
Agenda One
America First
Freedom and Liberty for all legal citizens
A basic Right to Life guaranteed in our Declaration of Independence
A government that works for the citizens, not citizens who work for the government
Economic Freedom, free market economics with minimal government intrusions
Limited, lawful, and ethical government within Constitutional authority
Free, Fair, Lawful, and Transparent elections worthy of the people’s confidence
Enforcement of the Bill of Rights for all legal citizens
Secure Borders and Legal Immigration in compliance with our Immigration Laws
Safe cities and neighborhoods
Real Education, not Marxist Indoctrination
A Moral Society capable of self-governance
A lawful and ethical Justice System, free from political corruption
Immediate accountability for anyone who violates their Oath of Office
Consequences for all who break and enter our country illegally
There’s much more, but this should be enough for now.
Agenda Two
A global Marxist “One World” Commune where Americans funds the 3rd world
No distinction between legal citizens and illegal invaders, equal rights for both
A Right of mothers to Kill whole generations in the womb
A Government that controls all citizens for benefit of the elites in power
Socialism, wherein productive citizens are penalized for benefit of the non-productive
An all-powerful government involved in every facet of citizen’s lives
Unlawful, hidden, fraudulent elections with a tightly controlled outcome
A total disregard for the Bill of Rights and all founding documents
Erased borders and an end to national sovereignty and security
Sanctuary cities where criminals are welcome and a protected class
Global Marxist Indoctrination and a continued dumbing down of America
Every immoral perversion and corruption known to mankind
A weaponized Justice System designed to persecute all political opponents
No accountability for violations of the Oath of Office
More rights and benefits for illegal aliens than any American citizen
Again, this should be enough and, in both cases, everything on these two lists is easily confirmed and verified to be FACT.
Now, Agenda One is the “MAGA” agenda and the MAGA movement has chosen President Trump to represent this agenda from the Oval Office. Agenda Two is today’s Democratic Socialist Party’s agenda and democrats have chosen Barack Obama and Joe Biden to represent their agenda.
The 2024 elections are not about two political figures, or two political parties. It’s all about two very different opposite agendas for America, and as America goes, so goes the entire world.
For the next eight months, we will be flooded with an endless stream of outright lies, half-truths, and globalist propaganda. Mainstream Media, Social Media, Hollywood elites, talk shows, friends, family, education, lecture halls, you name it…we will be bombarded by the worst political garbage slinging we have ever seen in this country.
But remember, truth matters, and the truth is presented above. Every American will vote for either Agenda One or Agenda Two this year. If Agenda One emerges victorious, America may still have a future worth living and passing on to our children and grandchildren.
But if Agenda Two wins, no American citizen will ever know freedom, liberty, security, or prosperity ever again. One of these two competing agendas will emerge victorious. YOU get to decide which one!

Teen girl is left in critical condition after high school mob beatdown in Missouri - as shocking footage shows her head being repeatedly slammed against concrete until she blacks out
By Mackenzie Tatananni For Dailymail.Com
Published: 02:07 EDT, 11 March 2024 | Updated: 07:26 EDT, 11 March 2024
A teenage girl is in critical condition after another teen repeatedly smashed her head into the ground during a brawl near a Missouri high school.
The fight broke out at about 2:30 pm Friday near Hazelwood High School.
Video of the incident circulated on social media showing another girl bashing the teen's head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches and sending her careening to the ground.
The victim appeared to begin to have a seizure as groups of other teens brawled just feet away.
Police found the girl suffering from a serious head injury near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, roughly a five-minute walk from the high school campus.
The teen, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital and remains in critical condition.
A 15-year-old girl was arrested Saturday and charged with assault. She was taken to the St. Louis County Family Court and remained in custody as of Sunday afternoon.
The St. Louis County Police Department is investigating the incident.
After news of the altercation broke, the Hazelwood School District released a statement condemning violence within the community.
'It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt,' the statement read. 'Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children.
'The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.'
The statement urged community members to respect the families of those involved and 'pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community.'
The district recently came under fire for disenrolling more than three dozen middle schoolers in late February and early March.
The school district’s public relations director, Jordyn Elston, told STLPR that the students were ejected because of 'expired residency information.'
Of the 40 students who received letters informing them of the district's decision, thirty-eight were re-enrolled within a week after providing updated information, the district said.

Nearly 107 Million Americans Do Not Have A Job Right Now

A lot of people are really confused about the state of the U.S. economy right now. Large employers are conducting mass layoffs all over the country, and those that are searching for work are having a very difficult time. But meanwhile, the Biden administration and the mainstream media continue to insist that the unemployment rate is low and everything is just fine. So what can account for such incongruity? Hopefully by the time you are done reading this article you will have a much clearer view of what is really going on out there.
On Friday, the BLS released the employment numbers for the month of February. Zero Hedge is calling it “the most ridiculous jobs report in history”…
Last month we though that the January jobs report was the “most ridiculous in recent history” but, boy, were we wrong because this morning the Biden department of goalseeked propaganda (aka BLS) published the February jobs report, and holy crap was that something else. Even Goebbels would blush.
We were told that the U.S. economy added 275,000 jobs last month.
But if you dig deeper into the report, you will find that the number of native-born workers actually fell by 560,000 last month.
And over the past 3 months, the number of native-born workers has fallen by a whopping 2.4 million…
But wait there’s even more, because now that the primary season is over and we enter the heart of election season and political talking points will be thrown around left and right, especially in the context of the immigration crisis created intentionally by the Biden administration which is hoping to import millions of new Democratic voters (maybe the US can hold the presidential election in Honduras or Guatemala, after all it is their citizens that will be illegally casting the key votes in November), what we find is that in February, the number of native-born workers tumbled again, sliding by a massive 560K to just 129.807 million. Add to this the December data, and we get a near-record 2.4 million plunge in native-born workers in just the past 3 months (only the covid crash was worse)!
So where is the “job growth” coming from?
If you can believe it, the BLS is claiming that 1.2 million foreign-born workers were added during the month of February alone…
The offset? A record 1.2 million foreign-born (read immigrants, both legal and illegal but mostly illegal) workers added in February!
Are we actually supposed to believe such nonsense?
I find it hard to believe that more than a million foreign-born workers were added to the system in a single month when layoffs are at such extremely high levels.
According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas we just witnessed the highest number of layoffs during the month of February since the Great Recession…
Layoff announcements in February hit their highest level for the month since the global financial crisis, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
The total of 84,638 planned cuts showed an increase of 3% from January and 9% from the same month a year ago, with technology and finance companies at the forefront.
From a historical perspective, this was the worst February since 2009, which saw 186,350 announcements as the worst of the financial crisis was seemingly coming to an end.
We really do have an employment crisis in this country, but those in positions of power are trying to convince us that what we can see with our own two eyes isn’t actually real.
In other words, they are gaslighting us really hard.
One of the ways they do this is by how they classify those that are not working.
When an adult is not working, they are classified as either “unemployed” or “not in the labor force”.
In February, 6,458,000 Americans were considered to be officially “unemployed”.
If that number was accurate, that would be good news.
But another 100,285,000 Americans were considered to be “not in the labor force” in February.
When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106,743,000 Americans that are not working.
In other words, nearly 107 million Americans do not have a job right now.
Let me try to put that number into proper perspective.
During the Great Recession, that number never even reached 90 million.
So right now, the number of Americans not working is far higher than it was at any point during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Meanwhile, conditions continue to get even rougher for those that are actually working.
The cost of living has been rising much faster than our paychecks have, and that is putting enormous stress on households from coast to coast.
Recently, I was stunned to learn that a 160 square foot home in Las Vegas is renting for 950 dollars a month…
A tiny home in the Las Vegas Valley is creating a big stir.
Nestled between two apartment blocks, the 160 sq ft tiny home, listed for $950 a month, has received more than 113 inquiries from eager renters.
That is absurd.
But this is what years of reckless money printing have done to us.
Housing has become more unaffordable than ever before, and this isn’t just happening in our heavily populated metropolitan areas.
If you can believe it, an average home in Bozeman, Montana now sells for more than a million dollars…
Bozeman, Montana, a small city of about 56,000 people, has seen home prices soar on the back of increased migration to the area, catapulting demand for properties.
A single-family home in the area rose by nearly 40 percent to more than $1.16 million as of February, according to the Bozeman Real Estate Group.
At the same time, paychecks are stagnating or even falling in some cases.
In fact, it is being reported that “48% of 2,000 US companies surveyed lowered pay for certain roles” in 2023…
But some are finding an unwelcome surprise as they scan listings for open roles. A salary bump is all but impossible; in many cases, wages seem lower than their previous pay – even for the same jobs.
They aren’t imagining things. A 2023 report on pay trends from ZipRecruiter showed 48% of 2,000 US companies surveyed lowered pay for certain roles.
The middle class is being systematically ripped to shreds.
With each passing day, more Americans are joining the ranks of the poor, and homelessness and hunger are absolutely exploding all over the nation.
What we are experiencing is the direct result of years of very foolish policies.
Unfortunately, much worse is on the horizon. The remainder of 2024 will be excruciating, and 2025 will be even more painful.

Rep. Massie warns about fed plan to electronically track all U.S. cattle to stymie beef production
03/08/2024 // Ethan Huff // 10.3K Views
Hidden deep within the new omnibus bill is a secret provision to allow the federal government to electronically track all cattle in the United States.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) warned about the hidden provision on X, stating that lobbyists will receive $15 million in taxpayer funds to unleash the electronic tracking grid on the nation's meat-producing cows and bison.
As stated directly from the omnibus, the agreement "directs the Department to continue to provide the tags and related infrastructure needed to comply with the Federal Animal Disease Traceability rule (9 CFR 86), including no less than $15,000,000 for electronic identification (EID) tags and related infrastructure needed for stakeholders to comply with the proposed rule, 'Use of Electronic Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison' (88 FR 3320), should that rule be finalized."
None of this, warned Rep. Massie is legal. And yet, the near-total apathy of the American people these days means these kinds of things are easily passable without so much as a peep from the wider constituency.
"No law authorizes this!" Rep. Massie wrote on X.
"It will be used by the GREEN agenda to limit beef production, and by the corporate meat oligopoly to DOMINATE small ranchers."
(Related: Back in 2021 at the height of the Wuhan coronavirus [COVID-19] "pandemic," Rep. Massie called for everyone at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] to be fired for lying about the nature of the so-called "virus.")
Attorney Tom Renz warns electronic tracking of cattle will unleash universal GMO "vaccines" on food supply
What Rep. Massie means by the "green" agenda is that this little ear tag scheme is merely a front to further dig into the American meat supply in order to crush it, paving the way for synthetic "meat," bugs, and other "climate-friendly" replacements to flood the market instead.
One of just a few in Congress, or anywhere, calling out the scheme, Rep. Massie deserves credit for keeping the American public abreast of these latest developments, even if most people seemingly do not care what happens to their food supply.
"It's important to make sure similar nonsense isn't occurring at state and local levels," warned an X account called "Justin George" (@jdgeorge94) about the plot.
Even more ominous was a warning that attorney Thomas Renz put in response to Rep. Massie's tweet about the implications of the electronic ear tag scheme on food safety.
"It will also be used to ensure the introduction of genetics modifying vaccines on a universal basis into the food supply," Renz wrote about the scheme. "This is not just about limiting beef output ... it's about ensuring the beef available has mRNA vaccines in it."
Renz responded to Rep. Massie further by offering to speak with him directly about the details of all this, emphasizing surety in his understanding of the long-term plan.
"We need to pass an omnibus that outlaws omnibuses," joked another about how ridiculous this all is.
"This is exactly why we need single-item spending bills," wrote another, further joking with a play on words blending the word communism with omnibus. "No more (c)omnibus."
All this constant fighting over the climate, the food supply, and other pertinent issues is exhausting, wrote another, which is why increasingly more people seem to support the idea of splitting up the country into two separate entities.
"No wonder why people are asking for a national divorce to split this country up," one wrote. "Give them their green new deal, illegals, crime and drag shows and let the people on planet sane have the rest of the country!"
The anti-beef brigades have been unleashed to rid the world of "climate-polluting" beef. Find out more about what they are up to at GreenTyranny.news.

The Coming Of The Police State In America
Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times,
The National Guard and the State Police are now patrolling the New York City subway system in an attempt to do something about the explosion of crime. As part of this, there are bag checks and new surveillance of all passengers. No legislation, no debate, just an edict from the mayor.
Many citizens who rely on this system for transportation might welcome this. It’s a city of strict gun control, and no one knows for sure if they have the right to defend themselves. Merchants have been harassed and even arrested for trying to stop looting and pillaging in their own shops.
The message has been sent: Only the police can do this job. Whether they do it or not is another matter.
Things on the subway system have gotten crazy. If you know it well, you can manage to travel safely, but visitors to the city who take the wrong train at the wrong time are taking grave risks.
In actual fact, it’s guaranteed that this will only end in confiscating knives and other things that people carry in order to protect themselves while leaving the actual criminals even more free to prey on citizens.
The law-abiding will suffer and the criminals will grow more numerous. It will not end well.
When you step back from the details, what we have is the dawning of a genuine police state in the United States. It only starts in New York City. Where is the Guard going to be deployed next? Anywhere is possible.
If the crime is bad enough, citizens will welcome it. It must have been this way in most times and places that when the police state arrives, the people cheer.
We will all have our own stories of how this came to be. Some might begin with the passage of the Patriot Act and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security in 2001. Some will focus on gun control and the taking away of citizens’ rights to defend themselves.
My own version of events is closer in time. It began four years ago this month with lockdowns. That’s what shattered the capacity of civil society to function in the United States. Everything that has happened since follows like one domino tumbling after another.
It goes like this:
1) lockdown,
2) loss of moral compass and spreading of loneliness and nihilism,
3) rioting resulting from citizen frustration, 4) police absent because of ideological hectoring,
5) a rise in uncontrolled immigration/refugees,
6) an epidemic of ill health from substance abuse and otherwise,
7) businesses flee the city
8) cities fall into decay, and that results in
9) more surveillance and police state.
The 10th stage is the sacking of liberty and civilization itself.
It doesn’t fall out this way at every point in history, but this seems like a solid outline of what happened in this case. Four years is a very short period of time to see all of this unfold. But it is a fact that New York City was more-or-less civilized only four years ago. No one could have predicted that it would come to this so quickly.
But once the lockdowns happened, all bets were off. Here we had a policy that most directly trampled on all freedoms that we had taken for granted. Schools, businesses, and churches were slammed shut, with various levels of enforcement. The entire workforce was divided between essential and nonessential, and there was widespread confusion about who precisely was in charge of designating and enforcing this.
It felt like martial law at the time, as if all normal civilian law had been displaced by something else. That something had to do with public health, but there was clearly more going on, because suddenly our social media posts were censored and we were being asked to do things that made no sense, such as mask up for a virus that evaded mask protection and walk in only one direction in grocery aisles.
Vast amounts of the white-collar workforce stayed home—and their kids, too—until it became too much to bear. The city became a ghost town. Most U.S. cities were the same.
As the months of disaster rolled on, the captives were let out of their houses for the summer in order to protest racism but no other reason. As a way of excusing this, the same public health authorities said that racism was a virus as bad as COVID-19, so therefore it was permitted.
The protests had turned to riots in many cities, and the police were being defunded and discouraged to do anything about the problem. Citizens watched in horror as downtowns burned and drug-crazed freaks took over whole sections of cities. It was like every standard of decency had been zapped out of an entire swath of the population.
Meanwhile, large checks were arriving in people’s bank accounts, defying every normal economic expectation. How could people not be working and get their bank accounts more flush with cash than ever? There was a new law that didn’t even require that people pay rent. How weird was that? Even student loans didn’t need to be paid.
By the fall, recess from lockdown was over and everyone was told to go home again. But this time they had a job to do: They were supposed to vote. Not at the polling places, because going there would only spread germs, or so the media said. When the voting results finally came in, it was the absentee ballots that swung the election in favor of the opposition party that actually wanted more lockdowns and eventually pushed vaccine mandates on the whole population.
The new party in control took note of the large population movements out of cities and states that they controlled. This would have a large effect on voting patterns in the future. But they had a plan. They would open the borders to millions of people in the guise of caring for refugees. These new warm bodies would become voters in time and certainly count on the census when it came time to reapportion political power.
Meanwhile, the native population had begun to swim in ill health from substance abuse, widespread depression, and demoralization, plus vaccine injury. This increased dependency on the very institutions that had caused the problem in the first place: the medical/scientific establishment.
The rise of crime drove the small businesses out of the city. They had barely survived the lockdowns, but they certainly could not survive the crime epidemic. This undermined the tax base of the city and allowed the criminals to take further control.
The same cities became sanctuaries for the waves of migrants sacking the country, and partisan mayors actually used tax dollars to house these invaders in high-end hotels in the name of having compassion for the stranger. Citizens were pushed out to make way for rampaging migrant hordes, as incredible as this seems.
But with that, of course, crime rose ever further, inciting citizen anger and providing a pretext to bring in the police state in the form of the National Guard, now tasked with cracking down on crime in the transportation system.
What’s the next step? It’s probably already here: mass surveillance and censorship, plus ever-expanding police power. This will be accompanied by further population movements, as those with the means to do so flee the city and even the country and leave it for everyone else to suffer.
As I tell the story, all of this seems inevitable. It is not. It could have been stopped at any point. A wise and prudent political leadership could have admitted the error from the beginning and called on the country to rediscover freedom, decency, and the difference between right and wrong. But ego and pride stopped that from happening, and we are left with the consequences.
The government grows ever bigger and civil society ever less capable of managing itself in large urban centers. Disaster is unfolding in real time, mitigated only by a rising stock market and a financial system that has yet to fall apart completely.
Are we at the middle stages of total collapse, or at the point where the population and people in leadership positions wise up and decide to put an end to the downward slide? It’s hard to know. But this much we do know: There is a growing pocket of resistance out there that is fed up and refuses to sit by and watch this great country be sacked and taken over by everything it was set up to prevent.

Scared of the National Debt? You Should Be.
Guest Post by Martin Armstrong March 7, 2024
NationalDebtNYCVBillboard A new billboard launched in New York City’s Times Square is sounding the alarm on America’s growing national debt crisis. “Scared of the national debt? You should be.” US national debt spiked past $34 trillion at the top of the year and continues to rise due to massive spending packages. Now that America is committed to funding two largescale wars and 7.2+ million new migrants, America will continue sinking deeper in a hole.
The Committee to Unleash Prosperity (CTUP) funded the billboard and said its aim to inform the voting public on the policies that will destroy this nation. CTUP says that this is a bipartisan problem that must be revealed to average person. Their website quotes Milton Friedman:
The average person does not realize that these “free” aid packages to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, the migrants, climate change, etc., come at the expense of the US taxpayers. YOU are paying for all of these measures. Government has and will raise taxes in order to fund these fiscal measures but they will NEVER collect enough revenue from the people to cover their spending. Then these measures lead to rising inflation where goods cost significantly more and our dollar is worth significantly less.
The Congressional Budget Office stated that national debt reached 97% of GDP by the end of 2022. I repeatedly point to Jerome Powell’s 60 Minute interview where he breaks with Washington to point out how utterly unsustainable government policy has become. “How do you asses the national debt?” the interviewer questioned the Fed chairman. “We mostly try very hard not to comment on fiscal policy and instruct Congress on how to do their job,” Powell answered, adding that Congress has oversight on the Fed and not the other way around.
“In the long run, the US is on an unsustainable fiscal path. The US federal government is on an unsustainable fiscal path and that just means that the debt is growing faster than the economy,” Powell finally warned, later adding, “effectively, we are borrowing from future generations.” He warned that we must begin to prioritize fiscal policy immediately to fix this unending crisis. Again, his comments were unprecedented as his agency is largely unable to criticize Washington. How is the Federal Reserve supposed to regulate price stability when their overlords are doing everything possible to steer the nation’s economy off the deep end?
So what can the public do and what’s the point of this billboard? It begins with your voice and ends with your vote. Stop supporting these endless wars, they are only hurting the nation from within and are NOT meant to attain victory or liberate anyone. We are not helping the people of Ukraine by prolonging their war. We are not saving the world by throwing money at climate change policies. We simply do not have the resources to fund millions of migrants who continue to show up at the border every minute. All of these policies are hurting the economy and, ultimately, the future of America and the American people.

California Moves To Expand Zero-Down, Interest-Free Home Loan Program To Illegal Immigrants
by Tyler Durden Thursday, Mar 07, 2024 - 01:10 PM
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
A controversial bill that would let illegal immigrants receive the same kind of homebuyer assistance as U.S. citizens has advanced in the California state legislature, drawing criticism from those who object to granting perks to people who break the law by entering the country illegally.
The measure, Assembly Bill 1840, was first introduced in mid-January, and after several amendments, it advanced last week to the Committee on Housing and Community Development, where it awaits further action.
Assembly Bill 1840 would change existing law to allow illegal immigrants to be eligible for the California Dream for All Fund, which provides interest-free loans for a down payment on a home for first-time buyers.
The bill was introduced by California Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, a Democrat, who last month told GV Wire, a Fresno-based news outlet, that he “wanted to ensure that qualified first-time homebuyers include undocumented applicants.”
Last week, as the bill advanced to committee after amendments, Mr. Arambula told the Los Angeles Times that, historically, homeownership has been the main way people accumulate generational wealth in the United States.
“The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone,” he said, arguing that it’s wrong to exclude people from the benefits of the California Dream for All Fund program just because they’re illegal immigrants.
Some lawmakers expressed opposition to the measure as it moves closer to becoming law.
“Assembly Bill 1840 is an insult to California citizens who are being left behind and priced out of homeownership. I’m all for helping first-time homebuyers, but give priority to those who are here in our state legally,” California Sen. Brian Dahle, a Republican, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
More Details
The California Dream for All Fund program, administered by the state’s Housing Finance Agency, provides loans for 20 percent of a home’s value but no greater than $150,000.
Qualifying homebuyers repay the loans when selling or transferring the property plus 20 percent of any appreciation in its value. Applicants who earn less than their county’s area median income get a slight break, having to pay 15 percent of the appreciation. If a home doesn’t appreciate in value, only the principal will be paid back, meaning the loan is technically interest-free.
The proposed bill seeks to amend Section 51523 of the California Health and Safety Code to include a subsection that reads: “An applicant under the program shall not be disqualified solely based on the applicant’s immigration status.”
Mr. Arambula has defended the program, arguing in the interview with GV Wire last month that it won’t affect the state budget because the loans are supposed to be paid back with an appreciation fee.
Even though the net impact of the program on the state budget is technically neutral-to-positive, some critics argue that it sends the wrong message and effectively rewards illegal immigration.
“We have a huge housing crisis in California and anything we can do to get people into housing we should do. However, we should help our own first. This next generation of people growing up can’t afford a house. I’ve got two kids in their early 30s and most of their friends do not own houses,” San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, a Republican, told NBC 7 San Diego.
Mr. Desmond has been a vocal critic of policies that he says create incentives for people to enter the country illegally.
“You incentivize illegal immigration by providing free healthcare, free unemployment benefits and tons of other freebies,” he wrote in a recent post on X, reacting to a post by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, who called on Congressional Republicans to back President Joe Biden’s border deal.
“It’s no wonder we are getting thousands of people by the day. This is on you as much as the Federal Government,” Mr. Desmond added.
Mr. Desmond said on March 3 that over 5,000 illegal immigrants had been released in San Diego County over the past 10 days.
“What’s striking about the people being dropped here by the Border Patrol is about 70 percent of them are single males,” he told Fox News.
While many of the new arrivals are being taken to the airport by local nongovernmental organizations to fly out to someplace else in the country, Mr. Desmond lamented that “in the meantime, our airport is now the new migrant shelter.”
His remarks come as the United States remains in the throes of an illegal immigration crisis of historic proportions, with some border patrol officials and others warning of a national security risk.
Military-Aged Men Crossing Border
The head of the Border Patrol union recently warned about the sharp rise in the number of military-aged Chinese men crossing the U.S.–Mexico border illegally.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said in a recent interview on “Just the News, No Noise” TV program that he believes some of them may be spies working on behalf of China’s communist regime to infiltrate the United States.
“At best, they’re here for a better life,” Mr. Judd said. “At worst, they’re here to be part of the Chinese government to infiltrate our own country.”
His remarks came as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest data for January encounters with illegal immigrants who crossed the border into the United States.
Aside from showing that Border Patrol agents encountered a record number of illegal immigrants (242,587) in January 2024 compared to any previous January, the CPB numbers show an alarming trend in the number of military-aged Chinese nationals entering the country illegally.
Border Patrol agents encountered 5,717 single Chinese adults in January, more than twice the number of any other January on record, CBP data shows. In December 2023, that figure rose to a record of 7,581, while the total since January 2023 stands at 64,979.
Some analysts say that deteriorating economic conditions in China, along with human rights abuses and policies such as strict COVID-19 lockdowns, are likely driving the increase.
The San Diego Sector has seen a more than 500 percent jump in the number of Chinese nationals entering the country illegally, according to Jason Owens, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol.

New York Gov Hochul calls in National Guard, state police to help curb crime in NYC subways
The governor's announcement comes after NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced plans to have more police patrolling the subways
Bradford Betz By Bradford Betz Fox News
Published March 6, 2024 3:42pm EST | Updated March 6, 2024 4:12pm EST
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending in the state National Guard to New York City to help police curb a surge in crime in the city’s subways.
Announcing a five-point plan on Wednesday, the Democratic governor said she was deploying 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
"For people who are thinking about bringing a gun or knife on the subway, at least this creates a deterrent effect. They might be thinking, 'You know what, it just may just not be worth it because I listened to the mayor and I listened to the governor and they have a lot more people who are going to be checking my bags,'" Hochul said at a news conference in New York City.
The move came as part of a larger effort by the governor's office to address crime in the subway, which included a legislative proposal to ban people from trains for three years if they are convicted of assaulting a subway passenger and the installation of cameras in conductor cabins to protect transit workers.
The governor’s plan also includes better coordination with district attorneys to help prevent repeat offenders and an additional $20 million for expanding subway outreach programs.
TOP DEMS, SQUAD SILENT ON WHITE HOUSE CALL FOR SANCTUARY CITIES TO COOPERATE WITH ICE
New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced plans on Tuesday to have more police patrolling the subways as the city attempts to curb a near 20% increase in crime levels during the first two months of 2024 compared to the same period last year, according to NYPD data cited by the New York Post.
There were three homicides in the underground system over January and February, while incidents such as grand larcenies, felony assaults and robberies have also skyrocketed.
On Sunday, a 64-year-old postal worker was kicked onto the tracks at Penn Station in Manhattan, while a 20-year-old woman fought off a man who punched her in the face and tried to rape her in Queens. Last week, a subway conductor was slashed in the neck when he stuck his head out of the cabin window during a stop at a station in Brooklyn.

Mom murders twin 4-year-old sons — and dad finds their bodies: cops
By Social Links for Isabel Keane
Published March 4, 2024, 2:45 p.m. ET
A North Carolina mom killed her 4-year-old twin sons — and their little bodies were found by their father when he came to the house to take the boys over the weekend, authorities say.
Genevieve Ellen Springer, 44, was arrested Saturday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the horrific case, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said.
Emergency officials had been called to Springer’s home in the town of Murphy east of Chattanooga around 10 a.m. Saturday when the boys’ father — who is separated from their mother — arrived and found both boys deceased, officials said.
The father, who called 911 after arriving at his estranged wife’s home, was looking to “exercise custody” over the twins, the sheriff’s office said.
Springer was briefly hospitalized before being discharged and arrested. She is being held without bond at the Cherokee County Detention Center.
The date and time of death for the boys is under investigation, authorities said.
Their father last saw his sons alive Feb. 26. Investigators are looking to determine exactly when between then and Saturday they were killed, with the sheriff’s office saying it is “hopeful that autopsies will narrow down the date and time of the twins’ passing.
“In the wake of this tragedy Sheriff Dustin D. Smith is asking for prayers for the victims’ family, friends and all the first responders involved,” the sheriff’s department wrote on Facebook.
“Sheriff Smith would like to remind our County that our children are our most precious resource and our hope for the future. We all must stand united for their protection and for justice.”
Springer is expected to appear in court Thursday.

Teenager dead, 4 other people wounded in shooting at Philadelphia bus stop: police
By Associated Press Published March 5, 2024, 4:54 a.m. ET
A teenager was killed and four other people were injured in a shooting at a north Philadelphia bus stop on Monday afternoon, police said.
The city’s police commissioner, Kevin Bethel, said about 15 to 20 students were at a bus stop in the city’s Ogontz neighborhood around 3:45 p.m. when two people walked up and opened fire.
Police said people were getting on the stopped bus when the gunfire erupted.
Police said one 17-year-old was pronounced dead at a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to the body. Two 15-year-olds had graze wounds and a 49-year-old woman and a 71-year-old woman on the bus were hit, they said.
Authorities said the older women was hit in the head and the younger woman in the arm, adding all four were in stable condition.
Officials said the bus driver sped away for several blocks and the shooters fled.
The police commissioner said afternoons have turned into “one of the most dangerous times” for violence in the city once school is dismissed.
But he said “it could have been much worse” because the shots were fired at a busy intersection where people were aboard a bus and at a daycare across the street.

Teen with autism brutally assaulted by group in broad daylight at pier: ‘She could have been killed’
By News.com.au
Published March 4, 2024, 8:48 p.m. ET
A teenage girl with autism has been left with severe injuries after being assaulted by a group of youths in Melbourne.
The incident occurred at Altona Pier last Wednesday afternoon and was captured on video, which was later shared with the victim’s sister.
The girl, identified as 14-year-old Dakota, was walking with a friend when she was attacked by five other teenage girls.
Dakota was hit over 50 times during the attack and had her hair pulled, an energy drink poured over her and was left with a black eye and head injuries.
“The paramedic counted how many times my daughter has had a blow to the head and it was over 55,” the victim’s mother said via Nine News.
“They thought it was funny. She could have been killed.”
The assault was eventually stopped after a passerby intervened. Dakota was sent to hospital where she spent the night recovering from the horrific ordeal.
Dakota was described by her mother as shy and timid, but had been gaining confidence before the traumatic event.
Her newfound confidence has now been severely damaged, leaving her afraid to leave the house, even for school.
“To see your daughter go through that and you’re just helpless,” her mother said.
“My daughter won’t even go back to school now.”
Police say the attackers were known to the victim, but no arrests have been made.

Houthis hit Swiss-owned container ship, causing vessel damage but no injuries
CENTCOM reports of another missile fired earlier into the Red Sea area without any targets hit and U.S. forces later preemptively strike launch sites
i24NEWS March 05, 2024, 2:39 AM
United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on Tuesday morning reported on three incidents with the Iranian-backed Houthis, in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden area.
In one incident, the Swiss-owned M/V MSC SKY II container vessel was struck by two missiles. Another incident apparently did not hit any targets. And CENTCOM preemptively struck two anti-ship cruise missiles.
"Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired two anti-ship ballistic missiles from Yemen into the Gulf of Aden at M/V MSC SKY II," the incident with the Liberia-flagged and Swiss-owned ship was described by CENTCOM. "One of the missiles impacted the vessel causing damage."
"Initial reports indicate there were no injuries; the ship did not request assistance and continued on its way," the statement added.
Video poster
Earlier on Monday, CENTCOM said "Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired an anti-ship ballistic missile from Yemen into the southern Red Sea. The missile impacted the water with no reported damage or injuries to commercial or U.S. Navy ships."
Toward the end of the day, "CENTCOM forces conducted self-defense strikes against two anti-ship cruise missiles that presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region."
"These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for merchant and U.S. Navy vessels," the statement concluded about the U.S.-led "Operation Prosperity Guardian" coalition to protect the important shipping lanes from the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists.

NUCLEAR TERRORISM ALERT! Here’s the real target of the geoengineered North Texas wildfires….
March 5, 2024
Everything about the obviously geoengineered North Texas firestorms indicates that the NWO pyro-terrorists have multiple objectives, most of which are self-evident.
This is the ultimate target of the devastating manmade firestorms raging through North Texas. (Video)
However, when the preceding video was sent to SOTN, we immediately knew what the primary target of this NWO blackop and psyop was—the Pantex Nuclear Weapons Facility (see photo below)
After all, what better way to hold the entire state of Texas hostage as the U.S. Federal Government takes over their own nuclear catastrophe crime scene.
Pantex Nuclear Weapons Facility
What follows is a short breakdown of the nuclear terrorism angle of the OPERATION TORCH TEXAS, where it concerns this first wave of pyro-terrorism throughout the Panhandle.
After years of geoengineering heat waves and droughts, the NWO weather warriors were setting up the whole state to be burned down, just as they have been doing to California twice every year.
Posted by THE GIZA DEATH STAR
But there is something very disturbing in this, that as far as I can tell, has not been mentioned in any of the media coverage of the story, and it is strongly suggested by the following screenshot from the article:
Now why is that screenshot and the implied affected area of the fires significant? While there are hundreds if not thousands of affected farmers and ranchers, not to mention the population center of Amarillo which this author has been through on many occasions on interstate 40, there’s something else in that region, in fact, to the north of Amarillo, very close to the area shown on the image with the flame coming up from the affected region, and that something is well-known to the Texans in the area…
…the Pantex plant.
If you don’t know what the Pantex plant is, it is an assembly (and disassembly) plant for the U.S.A.’s nuclear weapons. (Q.v. Pantex plant )
In other words, the plant forms a crucial component in the logistical support infrastructure for the manufacture of nuclear weapons (and, incidentlly, for their retirement).
This unpleasant fact must be factored into any high octane speculative scenario of why the wildfires in the Texas panhandle were started. It raises the stakes considerably that the fires were deliberately started. But by whom, and why? If Texas were to secede from the dysfunctional Union, the Pantex facility would give the state a jump start towards a nuclear deterrent of its own. It would be similar to the arsenals in Alabama and Virginia that fell under the control of the Confederacy during the southern secession of 1861. Are the fires therefore a “safeguard preventative measure” to create an “accident” or “act of nature” to deprive the state of that possibility, and is the blame therefore to be ascribed to domestic players? Or are the fires a warning, or a strike, to denude the state from that potential acquisition? Are the players behind the move international(ist) in nature? Have they taken measure of the state and concluded that at this juncture a separation is inevitable, and is the strike preventative against that possibility? Or is the concern not Texas at all, but the USA and the nutty people running it? As they increasingly notch up war hysteria with Russia including talk of nuclear weapons, what if, at the last minute, you don’t have any nuclear weapons to put on those drones, because the plant making them is closed “on account of an emergency”? Or is the goal simply to burn down the plant and loft contaminating radioactive materials into the soil and air, a possibility given Mr. Globalooney’s other genocidal projects (remember the quackcines)?
The point of my high octane speculations by now should be clear: the nearby presence of the Pantex plant makes a strong case for the argument that these fires are not accidental, and that their are much deeper agendas possibly in play, because I for one simply cannot wrap my mind around the idea of “coincidence” in this case. We have abundant evidence that the “leadership” class of the west a criminally and murderously insane. It’s as simple as that.

Conclusion
Just like the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the BP Gulf oil spill, the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the Oklahoma City bombing and other terror operations, the New World Order globalist cabal has proven that there is absolutely nothing they will not do to get their way…or to make sure We the People do not get our way.
“Just like Maui, these Texas Panhandle firestorms are being
purposefully started as yet another stealthy scheme of coercive
pyro-terrorism after the Panhandle was furtively geoengineered
over several years into a tinderbox. This highly dramatic black
op / psyop is especially being used as a warning to the other 49
states not to even think about crossing the Federal Government
like Gov. Abbott just did at Eagle Pass.”
— Veteran Intelligence Analyst & Former U.S. Military Officer
Making sure that the Lone Star State does not set the example for reclaiming states’ rights is a major purpose behind so many attacks against Texas over recent decades. Each successive false flag terror event blamed on Mother Nature get more destructive so that states like Florida do not follow their lead. For the only way out of this mess secession form the Union. And once the US Corporation goes bankrupt, states will no longer have incentive to withstand the federal tyranny for the sake of receiving federal dollars.

Ukraine SINKS Russian Navy Ship Sergey Kostov in Kerch Strait
World Hal Turner 05 March 2024 Hits: 3916
The Defense Intelligence of the MOD of Ukraine (GUR) in a statement say that they 'sunk' a '$65 million' Russian patrol ship named 'Sergey Kotov' near the Kerch Strait using Magura V5 naval drones.
The vessel was a 22160 Bykov-class corvette, seen in the FILE PHOTO below:
As of Tuesday morning, traffic on the Kerch Strait Bridge is still stopped; no vehicles are permitted to cross it. No one is saying if the attack last night, which was reported by this website (HERE), damaged the bridge or not.
Dmitry Medvedev, writing on his Telegram channel, confirmed the story:
"Overnight, Ukraine's naval drones found the Russian Navy stealth patrol ship Sergei Kotov in the Kerch Strait by the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, damaged her stern and both sides and sank her."

EU runs out of gunpowder to create ammunition for Ukraine

The European Union has run out of gunpowder to create ammunition for Ukraine because the resources for its Gunpowder production were imported from China.
Here in the U.S., we have very much reduced ability to manufacture Gunpowder because the ENVIRONMENTALISTS whined that gunpowder production harmed the environment. We are even far worse-off because many of those same ENVIRONMENTALISTS, demanded - and got 00 the shut-down of lead Foundries, so we can no longer smelt lead to form . . . . bullets.

Transgendered Space Force officer tells U.S. Air Force cadets that using pronouns will lead to 'winning war-fighting strategies'
This is just more proof that America will be judged severely for her corruption of the nations
Leo Hohmann
Mar 4, 2024
Last week U.S. Space Force Col. Bree Fram, a prominent transgender activist in the U.S. Armed Forces and worldwide, gave a speech to the U.S. Air Force Academy in which he urged the cadets to use specified pronouns in their emails as a way to bolster “winning war fighting strategies.” Watch the insanity spewing forth from this man in the video below.
Notice this man, Col. Bree Fram, was described as a “she” by the impressionable young female cadet who introduced him. How can you look at and listen to this man and call him a woman? How can a military fighting force perform up to standards against Russia and China when it can’t even recognize the difference between a man and a woman? I suspect these same cadets have also been brainwashed to believe in “pregnant persons.”
This man and so-called leader, Col. Bree Fram, is also on the speakers’ list of Pentagon personnel who travel abroad to spew this nonsense about “inclusion” to countries around the world. This is the modern Babylonian system, up close and personal, and it is doomed to a spectacular failure. Why? Because it’s based on lies that are insulting to God.
Short of mass repentance, it’s a matter of when, not if, the day of reckoning is visited upon these evildoers who seek to corrupt the entire world with their blasphemies and abominations. This is why they hate Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church will not sit idly by and stay quietly neutral on the issue of LGBTQI+, abortion up to birth, and all of the other filth that’s being promoted, like we see most of the Western churches doing.
The modern Babylonian system runs through Washington, New York, London, Paris, Geneva and Brussels, as well as Rome and Kiev. In God’s timing, all of these Western cities and likely many more will be laid waste. Consult the Deagel Corp.’s population forecast for details. Notice that Russia and China are not forecast to lose much, if any, population. But, by the end of 2025, the U.S. is forecast to lose 68.5 percent of its population, the U.K. is forecast to lose 77 percent, and most of Western Europe will have their populations decimated by 30 percent or more. Deagle is known to have connections to U.S. intelligence agencies.
What do the Deagel forecasters know that the rest of us don’t in terms of devastating events on the near horizon?
Who knows if Deagel’s timing will be correct. The end of 2025 is less than two years away. But unless we see a concerted effort by the world powers to de-escalate the path we’re on toward World War III, I do believe we will see entire Western cities obliterated. That’s the path our so-called leaders have placed us on and few Americans are even aware of it. Putin has laid out his red lines — do not let Ukraine join NATO and do not place Western troops in Ukraine to fight Russia — and the NATO madmen continue to talk about crossing those lines. Just last week NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said it was a “matter of when, not if,” Ukraine is accepted into NATO. And French President Emmanuel Macron said “Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we can to make sure that Russia does not prevail.”
I don’t believe President Macron says something like that without first running it by his superiors in Washington. When you have Western leaders saying they will do anything to make sure Russia is defeated in Ukraine, this means their countries will at some point be annihilated by Russian nuclear missiles.
Revelation 18 describes end-times’ Mystery Babylon as command central for global trade, moving all manner of luxury goods, including the “bodies and souls of men” (human trafficking). We recently found out that the U.S. government is the largest human trafficker in the world. I believe economic Babylon is centered in the financial district of Wall Street, with political Babylon’s nerve center being Washington, D.C. If this is modern Babylon, and I believe it is, then it will all be destroyed “in one hour.”
Pray for peace. Prepare for war — on U.S. soil. And get right with God. Why do I say this? Because we have absolute madmen in charge of running the U.S. and all of its NATO-allied countries. The pay off in U.S.-printed fiat currency must be just too good to pass up, as these NATO aligned countries will do pretty much whatever their paymasters in Washington tell them, no matter how insane and suicidal. Oh, that’s another thing Revelation 18 tells us: “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
Only one nation is the source of the internationally recognized petro dollar, the world’s reserve currency, which has exploded the amount of wealth creation in America and its closest allies since the end of World War II. But that wealth has not been used for good. It’s been used to spread evil and deception, as exemplified by the lies of Col. Bree Fram. He’s just one of many who are spreading their culturally and spiritually poisonous ideology from America out to the nations.

Government Funds AI Tools for Whole-of-Internet Surveillance and Censorship
By Debbie LermanDebbie Lerman February 11, 2024
feel scared. Very scared.
Internet-wide surveillance and censorship, enabled by the unimaginably vast computational power of artificial intelligence (AI), is here.
This is not a futuristic dystopia. It’s happening now.
Government agencies are working with universities and nonprofits to use AI tools to surveil and censor content on the Internet.
This is not political or partisan. This is not about any particular opinion or idea.
What’s happening is that a tool powerful enough to surveil everything that’s said and done on the Internet (or large portions of it) is becoming available to the government to monitor all of us, all the time. And, based on that monitoring, the government – and any organization or company the government partners with – can then use the same tool to suppress, silence, and shut down whatever speech it doesn’t like.
But that’s not all. Using the same tool, the government and its public-private, “non-governmental” partners (think, for example: the World Health Organization, or Monsanto) can also shut down any activity that is linked to the Internet. Banking, buying, selling, teaching, learning, entertaining, connecting to each other – if the government-controlled AI does not like what you (or your kids!) say in a tweet or an email, it can shut down all of that for you.
Yes, we’ve seen this on a very local and politicized scale with, for example, the Canadian truckers.
But if we thought this type of activity could not, or would not, happen on a national (or even scarier – global) scale, we need to wake up right now and realize it’s happening, and it might not be stoppable.
New Documents Show Government-Funded AI Intended for Online Censorship
The US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was formed in January 2023 “to investigate matters related to the collection, analysis, dissemination, and use of information on US citizens by executive branch agencies, including whether such efforts are illegal, unconstitutional, or otherwise unethical.”
Unfortunately, the work of the committee is viewed, even by its own members, as largely political: Conservative lawmakers are investigating what they perceive to be the silencing of conservative voices by liberal-leaning government agencies.
Nevertheless, in its investigations, this committee has uncovered some astonishing documents related to government attempts to censor the speech of American citizens.
These documents have crucial and terrifying all-of-society implications.
In the Subcommittee’s interim report, dated February 5, 2024, documents show that academic and nonprofit groups are pitching a government agency on a plan to use AI “misinformation services” to censor content on internet platforms.
Specifically, the University of Michigan is explaining to the National Science Foundation (NSF) that the AI-powered tools funded by the NSF can be used to help social media platforms perform censorship activities without having to actually make the decisions on what should be censored.
Here’s how the relationship is visualized in the Subcommittee’s report:
Here’s a specific quote presented in the Subcommittee’s report. It comes from “Speaker’s notes from the University of Michigan’s first pitch to the National Science Foundation (NSF) about its NSF-funded, AI-powered WiseDex tool.” The notes are on file with the committee.
Our misinformation service helps policy makers at platforms who want to…push responsibility for difficult judgments to someone outside the company…by externalizing the difficult responsibility of censorship.
This is an extraordinary statement on so many levels:
It explicitly equates “misinformation service” with censorship.
This is a crucial equation, because governments worldwide are pretending to combat harmful misinformation when in fact they are passing massive censorship bills. The WEF declared “misinformation and disinformation” the “most severe global risks” in the next two years, which presumably means their biggest efforts will go toward censorship.
When a government contractor explicitly states that it is selling a “misinformation service” that helps online platforms “externalize censorship” – the two terms are acknowledged as being interchangeable.
It refers to censorship as a “responsibility.”
In other words, it assumes that part of what the platforms should be doing is censorship. Not protecting children from sex predators or innocent citizens from misinformation – just plain and simple, unadulterated censorship.
It states that the role of AI is to “externalize” the responsibility for censorship.
The Tech platforms do not want to make censorship decisions. The government wants to make those decisions but does not want to be seen as censoring. The AI tools allow the platforms to “externalize” the censorship decisions and the government to hide its censorship activities.
All of this should end the illusion that what governments around the world are calling “countering misinformation and hate speech” is not straight-up censorship.
What Happens When AI Censorship is Fully Implemented?
Knowing that the government is already paying for AI censorship tools, we have to wrap our minds around what this entails.
No manpower limits: As the Subcommittee report points out, the limits to government online censorship have, up to now, involved the large numbers of humans required to go through endless files and make censorship decisions. With AI, barely any humans need to be involved, and the amount of data that can be surveilled can be as vast as everything anyone says on a particular platform. That amount of data is incomprehensible to an individual human brain.
No one is responsible: One of the most frightening aspects of AI censorship is that when AI does it, there is no human being or organization – be it the government, the platforms, or the university/nonprofits – who is actually responsible for the censorship. Initially, humans feed the AI tool instructions for what categories or types of language to censor, but then the machine goes ahead and makes the case-by-case decisions all by itself.
No recourse for grievances: Once AI is unleashed with a set of censorship instructions, it will sweep up gazillions of online data points and apply censorship actions. If you want to contest an AI censorship action, you will have to talk to the machine. Maybe the platforms will employ humans to respond to appeals. But why would they do that, when they have AI that can automate those responses?
No protection for young people: One of the claims made by government censors is that we need to protect our children from harmful online information, like content that makes them anorexic, encourages them to commit suicide, turns them into ISIS terrorists, and so on. Also from sexual exploitation. These are all serious issues that deserve attention. But they are not nearly as dangerous to vast numbers of young people as AI censorship is.
The danger posed by AI censorship applies to all young people who spend a lot of time online, because it means their online activities and language can be monitored and used against them – maybe not now, but whenever the government decides to go after a particular type of language or behavior. This is a much greater danger to a much greater number of children than the danger posed by any specific content, because it encompasses all the activity they conduct online, touching on nearly every aspect of their lives.
Here’s an example to illustrate this danger: Let’s say your teenager plays lots of interactive video games online. Let’s say he happens to favor games designed by Chinese companies. Maybe he also watches others play those games, and participates in chats and discussion groups about those games, in which a lot of Chinese nationals also participate.
The government may decide next month, or next year, that anyone heavily engaged in Chinese-designed video games is a danger to democracy. This might result in shutting down your son’s social media accounts or denying him access to financial tools, like college loans. It might also involve flagging him on employment or dating websites as dangerous or undesirable. It might mean he is denied a passport or put on a watchlist.
Your teenager’s life just got a lot more difficult. Much more difficult than if he was exposed to an ISIS recruitment video or suicide-glorifying TikTok post. And this would happen on a much larger scale than the sexual exploitation the censors are using as a Trojan Horse for normalizing the idea of online government censorship.
Monetize-able censorship services: An AI tool owned by the government can theoretically be used by a non-governmental entity with the government’s permission, and with the blessing of the platforms that want to “externalize” the “responsibility” for censorship. So while the government might be using AI to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-war sentiment – a company could use it to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-fast food sentiment. The government could make a lot of money selling the services of the AI tools to 3rd parties. The platforms could also conceivably ask for a cut. Thus, AI censorship tools can potentially benefit the government, tech platforms, and private corporations. The incentives are so powerful, it’s almost impossible to imagine that they will not be exploited.
Can We Reverse Course?
I do not know how many government agencies and how many platforms are using AI censorship tools. I do not know how quickly they can scale up.
I do not know what tools we have at our disposal – other than raising awareness and trying to lobby politicians and file lawsuits to prevent government censorship and regulate the use of AI tools on the internet.
If anyone has any other ideas, now would be the time to implement them.

Gaza clans fear Hamas reprisals as post-war uncertainty lingers
Gazans seek clarity on future, with some favoring Israeli rule but fear Hamas retaliation post-cease-fire for ties with Israel; families strive to shield themselves against chaos-fueled crime wave
Einav Halabi|03:26
The aftermath of war leaves Gaza's population grappling with uncertainties, including fears of displacement and division over governance of the Palestinian enclave. While some residents lean toward Israeli governance, concerned that Hamas' continued control could exacerbate chaos, the community remains deeply troubled by their post-war reality.
Gazan families establish defensive alliances to protect themselves from gunmen, including Hamas. Gazan sources reported that some Palestinian families cooperate with the IDF to ensure they receive humanitarian aid and protect their property from robbers and looters.
Recent media reports indicate that Israel has been engaging in discussions with clan leaders in Gaza, proposing that they assume administrative responsibilities and manage aid distribution to the population. However, many of these leaders have denied any affiliations with Israel.
Arab media sources reveal that only a select few leaders were open to considering the IDF's proposal for aid management. Among them, two prominent clans have acknowledged some level of contact with Israeli authorities.
"We are not willing to cooperate with the occupation on any issue," said a member of one of the clans. Another clan member, who did not deny that his family had contact with the IDF, was concerned about potential Hamas reprisals against families accused of collaborating with Israel. "Some families are worried that the cease-fire will allow Hamas to settle scores with them."
A Hamas police officer said that the police force is not waiting for relief to stop what he described as lawlessness. "We have regained control over most areas in northern Gaza," he explained. "We don't have police forces to carry out arrests and we can't patrol in uniforms, so we switched to working in plainclothes, with the same work structure as before the war."
The senior police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue, continued, "We will stop lawlessness, ensure that criminals do not escape justice and enforce the law against anyone who violates it. Breaking the law during wartime is a more serious offense than breaking the law in peacetime."
On Monday, Palestinian clan leaders published a statement rejecting Israel's plan to establish a civilian government in the Strip, reaffirming their loyalty to "the legitimate political leadership" represented by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
The coordinator of clan affairs, Mohammed Mahmoud Abu Qaida, emphasized that Gaza is an integral part of the future Palestinian state and condemned statements aimed at "sowing confusion within the Palestinian people."

Why Biden’s Actions Toward Israel Place America On Dangerous Ground With God
By Jonathan Brentner March 5, 2024
In the past several weeks, President Biden has also been at the forefront of demanding that Israel accept a two-state solution as a way of appeasing the Palestinians. In other words, he would reward Hamas’ barbarism by giving them land that rightfully belongs to Israel. Not only that, but his proposal would also give Israel’s enemies a strategic position to accomplish their true intent, which is the destruction of the Jewish state and the murder of the Israelites who dwell there.
A couple of weeks ago, the U.S. vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Please don’t be fooled by this empty show of support for Israel. The current U.S. leadership is no friend of Israel or the Jewish people. Biden’s recommendations, if followed, would seriously degrade the security of Israel as well as the safety of its people.
The actions of the Biden Administration toward Israel place America on dangerous ground for the following reasons:
They Will bring God’s Curse Upon Our Nation
The U.S. President and Secretary of State Blinken appear determined to stop Israel from achieving an all-out victory in its war with Hamas. Though they would never admit such a thing, their proposals would provide Hamas with a tactical victory as well as a position of strength in negotiating the release of hostages that it has not already murdered.
Because Israel still represents God’s chosen people (see Romans 11:1-2), the warning of Genesis 12:3 remains in effect: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
The Hebrew word for “dishonors you,” or “curseth you” in the KJV, is translated in a variety of ways in the Old Testament. In this context, it signifies those who would treat Israel with contempt and dishonor. It’s the act of treating something “lightly” in the sense of placing little importance upon it.
The word for “I will curse,” speaking in regard to God’s response to those who treat His people with disdain, is different and signifies what we understand as a curse, or in this case, a judgment on those who would treat Israel with derision such as the Biden Administration.
If the words of Genesis 12:3 still apply to God’s covenant with Abraham, which He reiterated to the descendants of Jacob (Psalm 105:7-11), and they do, the actions of the Biden administration will surely bring a curse upon himself as well as upon the nation.
His Proposal to Divide God’s Land Will Surely Bring God’s Wrath
As I have written before, and include here for completeness, Scripture makes it clear that those who attempt to divide God’s Land in the last days will incur His wrath.
The prophet Joel reveals that God’s wrath against the nations at the end of the Tribulation will stem from their desire to divide “my land”:
Joel 3:1-3 KJV – “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.”
The actions of President Biden and his administration will surely bring God’s wrath upon the United States.
One of the key signs of judgments that will overflow the earth during the “day of the Lord” that the prophet Joel writes about is a darkening of the sun: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.”
Jesus, in describing His return to earth after the judgments of the Tribulation period, also mentioned the darkening of the sun that will happen at His Second Coming.
Although the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse is not the darkening of the sun that will happen at the end of this age, I cannot escape the thought that it symbolizes the terrors that lie ahead for planet Earth.
I also believe it’s a warning to America as it occurs in connection with Biden’s push to divide God’s land and the contempt that the U.S. president is displaying toward Israel’s leadership by seeking to impose ceasefires in Gaza that interfere with their goal of defeating Hamas.
As the April 8 eclipse is garnering unprecedented interest for such an event, it occurs to me that the Lord might be causing this rabid attention. Could this be the Lord’s way of drawing attention to His warning of judgment? I think so.
A family member from the Dallas area recently told me that hotels in the area are selling out for the event. Delta offered a flight from Austin to Detroit for the sole purpose of giving people an opportunity to view the darkening of the sun from the air, and people quickly purchased all the tickets for it.
Please know I’m not setting dates, but I cannot ignore the warning that’s happening at a time when the U.S. is not only steeped in great wickedness and government corruption that goes far beyond the limits of our imagination but also promoting policies toward Israel that the Bible says will surely result in the outpouring of God’s wrath on any nation that behaves in such a way.
Regardless of what the April 8 solar eclipse signifies regarding our future, America truly rests on dangerous ground as its leaders treat Israel with great contempt and seek to divide God’s Land.

Western Governments Have Declared Open Season on Their White Citizens
March 6, 2024
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Normal heterosexual white people are losing the protection of law in the Western world. It is happening in some countries faster than in others. Although women in Sweden and Norway do not have the same recourse to law when they are raped by immigrant-invaders as they have if raped by white Scandinavian men, it is in Great Britain and the US where the protection by law has collapsed most rapidly.
A recent example in Great Britain is the case of Sam Melia. Sam, a white British citizen, made available stickers that read:
Reject White Guilt
It’s ok to be White
We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066
White Lives Matter
Stop Anti-White Rape Gangs
Love your Nation
The BBC presstitutes branded Melia “a far-right activist.” A piece of shit “judge” ruled that the stickers’ messages are “corrosive to our society.” In other words the “judge” said that “our society is not white except for the corrosive elements in it who are opposed to Britain being overrun by immigrant-invaders.” The piece of shit “judge,” with weaponized law in his hand, declared his opinion that Sam was an “antisemite with Nazi sympathies” and sentenced Sam to two years in prison.
Sam was charged with a “hate crime” for saying it is ok to be white. He wasn’t charged with being an anti-semite or a Nazi sympathizer. These were charges that the “judge” added. The result is that a white British family with a two year old daughter and another child on the way will be devoid of a father, earner, and protector for two years.
THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WHITE BRITISH CITIZEN TODAY.
Meanwhile British “justice” gave a child pornographer no jail time. The same “British justice” gave no jail time to a person who brain damaged a baby. When criminals and immigrant-invaders get in trouble the ruling is that conviction would damage their careers. So there is no one to convict but white British citizens.
Consider what British “justice” has done to Julian Assange. British “justice” has kept him imprisoned in one form or the other for 12 years without any charges filed against him. This is a massive violation of habeas corpus. Today British “justice” is the same as the “justice” of the feudal lord who at his whim confined a person to a dungeon for life without recourse.
It is amazing what white people do to white people, but they won’t dare touch an immigrant-invader whatever he does. That would be racist.
In the United States the situation is so bad that the federal government absolutely refuses to enforce the immigration laws on the books. The pro-overrun America regime in Washington actually ruled that Texas cannot even protect its own border.
The US border is wide open. According to official figures immigrant-invaders from 160 countries have been pouring into the United States during the Biden regime equal in number each year equivalent to the populations of 12 cities the size of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
All the while the dumbshit liberals say “replacement is misinformation.” Well, so far the Biden regime, according to their very own understated figures, have given us White American Citizens immigrant-invaders in numbers equivalent to 36 cities the size of Pittsburgh. After four years of fiercely anti-white Democrat rule, we will have 48 cities, according to official understated figures, of immigrant-invaders the size of Pittsburgh.
Four more years of Democrats and we will have, according to official understated numbers, immigrant-invaders present in the amount of 96 cities the size of Pillsburgh.
In other words, four more years of Democrat rule and America is no longer a white country. It will be a tower of babel in which law is used to oppress white people.
White people don’t seen to care enough to stop the immigrant invasion. For more than a half century white Americans have accepted second class citizenship in university admissions, employment and promotion.
Only whites have to endure hate speech. Only whites are racists if they complain of black crime. Only whites can be sent to prison for saying that their lives matter.
Everywhere in the Western world, every citizen who attempts to defend the ethnic basis of his society is declared a racist.
In other words, everywhere in the Western world governments are committed to eliminating the white ethnicity of the countries that the ethnicities constituted: Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands. Britons, French, Germans, Italians, Dutch, will cease to exist.
This is the trajectory on which the Western world is traveling.
If you point it out, you are declared an “enemy of democracy.”

As of September 2023, the Yuan surpassed the Euro to become the world's second-most used currency in SWIFT trade settlements, accounting for 5.8% of international payments. This shift reflects China's growing economic power and efforts to internationalize its currency thanks to BRICS. This recent progress highlights the Yuan's growing significance in global trade and finance, illustrating the Chinese economy's advance over its European counterpart. In this video, we will explore the current state of two major currencies: those of China and the European Union. We'll look into the strategic plans both regions have for their currencies' futures and examine how China's membership in BRICS has enhanced its role in global trade.

Incredible drone footage shows huge backlog of trucks and cars stuck in raging blizzard in California - after 12 in of snow fell on Golden State... with MORE set to come
By Laura Parnaby For Dailymail.Com and Associated Press
Published: 08:09 EST, 4 March 2024 | Updated: 10:22 EST, 4 March 2024
A huge backlog of trucks and cars stranded in the California snow has been caught on dramatic drone footage as a winter storm blitzes the state for a fifth day.
Northern regions of the Golden State were blanketed with 12 inches of snow over the weekend, prompting officials to warn residents not to travel - and forecasters have warned that another whitewash is on the way.
The powerful blizzard closed highways and ski resorts in California and Nevada after the storm system moved over the west coast Thursday last week.
A 70-mile stretch of Interstate 80 to the west and north of Lake Tahoe were still shut down late Sunday, with no estimate for reopening, the California Highway Patrol said.
The CHP office in South Lake Tahoe warned motorists that tire chains for improved traction are required on routes through the mountains, where more than 7 feet (2.1 meters) of snow fell over the weekend.
Blizzard warnings had mostly expired but scattered thunderstorms were likely and another 2 feet (60 centimeters) of snow was possible at higher elevations, the National Weather Service office in Sacramento said.
'Mountain travel is HIGHLY discouraged!' the office warned.
The multiday storm caused traffic backups and closures on I-80 and many other roadways, shut down ski resorts for two days, and left thousands of homes and businesses without power.
By Sunday night, Pacific Gas & Electric had restored electricity to all but about 4,400 Northern California customers, while NV Energy had reduced its outages to roughly 1,000 homes and businesses across the state line in Nevada.
Palisades Tahoe, the largest resort on the north end of the lake, was among several ski mountains that closed most or all chairlifts for a second straight day Sunday because of snow, wind and low visibility.
Palisades reported a three-day snow total of 6 feet (1.8 meters), with more falling.
'We will be digging out for the foreseeable future,' officials said on the resort´s blog.
Kevin Dupui, who lives in Truckee, just northwest of Lake Tahoe, said his snow blower broke, but it doesn´t really matter because there´s nowhere to put all the snow anyway. 'We just move it around,' he said Sunday.
Dupui said residents and tourists seem to be mostly heeding warnings to stay home. 'The roads haven´t been that safe, so we don´t really want people driving around,' he said.
Another Truckee resident, Jenelle Potvin, said at first some cynical locals thought 'there was a little too much hype' made about the approaching storm. But then the unrelenting snow began Friday night.
The California Highway Patrol admitted that the conditions were so treacherous their own officers had got stuck.
'Even our officers sometimes get stuck in the snow,' the organization said in a Facebook post alongside an image of their patrol vehicle stuck in two feet of snow.
'The blizzard-like conditions have yet to let up, but nonetheless, our officers are working hard to keep everyone safe. Avoid travel during this time and stay updated on road conditions.'
'It was definitely a blizzard. And we woke up to a lot of snow yesterday and it never let up,' Potvin said Sunday. Her neighbors were snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the streets.
In the eastern Sierra, the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area was closed Sunday as winds of up to 70 mph (113 kph) made it too difficult for ski patrol to complete avalanche mitigation, the resort said. More than 3 feet (nearly 1 meter) of snow fell over three days, and more was on the way.
Weather service meteorologist William Churchill on Saturday called the storm an 'extreme blizzard' for the Sierra Nevada but said he didn´t expect records to be broken.
The storm began barreling into the region Thursday. A widespread blizzard warning through Sunday morning covered a 300-mile (480-kilometer) stretch of the mountains. A second, weaker storm was forecast to bring additional rain and snow between Monday and Wednesday, forecasters said.
California authorities on Friday shut down 100 miles (160 kilometers) of I-80, the main route between Reno and Sacramento, because of 'spin outs, high winds, and low visibility.' There was no estimate when the freeway would reopen from the California-Nevada border west of Reno to near Emigrant Gap, California.
Rudy Islas spent about 40 minutes shoveling his car out before heading to work at a coffee shop in Truckee on Sunday morning. Neither he nor his customers were fazed by the snow, he said.
'To be honest, if you´re a local, it´s not a big deal,' he said. 'I think a lot of people are used to the snow and they prepare for it.'

'Yes - we have a massive threat here in America': U.S. faces 7300% surge in Venezuelan migration
by: Eddie Killian 2024-03-02 Source: Law Enforcement Today
The last three years have seen a notable 7300% surge in the number of people migrating from Venezuela to the United States, influenced by changes in U.S. immigration policies. However, this substantial increase has raised concerns, illustrated by an incident involving Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant, who committed a crime in the U.S.
The United States has experienced a significant surge in migrants from Venezuela, marking a substantial 7300% increase under the Biden administration's open border policies. The relaxation of entry rules allows individuals like Ibarra and his brother to enter the U.S., despite their use of counterfeit green cards.
Ibarra and his brother, both with a history of criminal activities, managed to cross the U.S. southern border. Despite being apprehended, they were released into the country under parole conditions. This scenario is one of many has sparked discussions about the efficacy of the current immigration system and its ability to screen individuals with potential criminal backgrounds.
One consequence of this migration surge is the tragic murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, by Ibarra. This incident unfolded on the University of Georgia campus, shedding light on the potential dangers associated with individuals entering the U.S. under loose immigration policies.
Ibarra moved to Athens, Georgia, attracted by its designation as an illegal alien sanctuary. This status meant that individuals like Ibarra, with questionable immigration status, could find refuge in such cities, posing challenges to law enforcement and public safety.
The surge in Venezuelan migrants has also triggered concerns about the country's association with terrorism. The Venezuelan government's issuance of travel documents to individuals linked to terrorism and its ties with Iran have raised questions about the potential presence of terrorist groups.
According to a State Department report, Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his associates engage in criminal activities to maintain their power, fostering an environment conducive to known terrorist groups. This includes connections with communist revolutionaries like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-D) and the Colombian National Liberation Army (ELN).

American Paralysis and Decline
Commentary
“We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.”
So shrugged the ancient historian Livy (59 B.C.–A.D. 17) of the long decline of Roman national character that, in his age, finally ended the Roman Republic.
Like a patient whose medicine proves worse than the disease, Livy lamented that the Romans knew that they had become corrupt and lawless.
But the very contemplation of the hard medicine needed for restoration—and the furious reaction that would meet the remedy—made it impossible to save the patient.
America is nearing such an impasse.
background checks nor legality.
The recent murder of a Georgia female jogger by an illegal alien and the savage beating of New York policemen by similar others hardly merit media attention.
Everyone knows that neither new appropriations nor new laws are needed to secure the border as it was in 2020.
Instead, we could just stop suicidal catch-and-release, deport lawbreakers, privilege the legal over the illegal immigrant, demand would-be refugees apply for asylum first in their native countries, finish the border wall, and pressure Mexico to stop undermining the territorial integrity of its northern neighbor.
But then we shrug, “We can’t do that”—paralyzed in fear of being smeared as “xenophobic,” “nativist,” or “racist.”
So this generation apparently feels that it can endure the collateral damage of daily assaults on American citizens, the near bankruptcy of our cities, and 100,000 fentanyl deaths per year—but certainly not the idea that it is somehow not politically correct or compassionate.
The same is true of the $35 trillion debt, now costing more than $1 trillion per year in interest payments—and growing. We all know it is unsustainable. Americans understand it will eventually lead to destructive hyperinflation, suicidal renunciation of federal debt, or confiscation of private savings.
Yet we ignore the reckless spending and keep borrowing well over $1 trillion a year. Apparently, our generation prefers being praised as “virtuous” and “caring.” So it leaves the next generation to be smeared as “cruel” and “unfair” when it is forced to cut federal entitlements and bloated government or face civilizational collapse.
The crime epidemic is also similar. Everyone accepts that no society can long endure quasi-legalized shoplifting or green-lighting smash-and-grabbers and carjackers to be released without bail.
But we assume that such a civilizational implosion will never reach our own sanctuary neighborhoods or safe places of work—at least not yet.
We also know that restoring deterrence by arresting, convicting, and jailing repeat felons will return safety to our streets.
But again, we fear even more that advocating “law and order” will earn slanders such as “racist” or “reactionary.”
Ditto the homeless. In an age of self-congratulation and hyper-environmentalism, we know that a million homeless defecating, urinating, injecting, and assaulting on our downtown sidewalks and storefronts is medieval.
We know that it is illegal to camp out on the street and publicly harass citizens or relieve oneself in public.
And we know the cure lies in building and staffing more mental institutions and providing areas far from public spaces where the homeless can find shelter, sanitation, and medical care.
But the very idea of removing anyone from his accustomed sidewalk spot, or the notion of the use of force to transport the mentally ill to proper and humane facilities, terrifies us.
So we walk around, step over, and ignore those on the street.
Is the assumption that the odds of being assaulted or sickened are acceptable? Or do we just not wish to learn where the flotsam, jetsam, and human offal of the street end up?
Most accept that had former President Donald Trump not run for president in 2024, or if he was a man of the left, he would not now be facing four different felony court cases.
Most accept that three of the four prosecutors have either in advance promised to get President Trump or proved grossly unethical.
Most know it is wrong to try to remove a leading presidential candidate from state ballots.
Yet many shrug that this new weaponization of America’s legal system is the flamboyant President Trump’s own problem, not their own. So they ignore the third worldization of our political system, which they quietly acknowledge is otherwise leading us to a Venezuela-like mess.
The paralysis of American society extends to our foreign policy as well. We deplore the terrorism of Iran and its thuggish surrogates. But we fear more the nasty, costly business of stopping its aggression.
Societies do not always collapse from a lack of wealth, invasion, or natural catastrophes.
Most often, they know what is destroying them. But they are so paralyzed by their fear that the road to salvation becomes too painful to even contemplate.
So they implode gradually, then suddenly.

Obama’s CIA Asked Foreign Intel Agencies To Spy on Trump Campaign
COMMENTARY
By Robert Chernin February 28, 2024
The revelation that the U.S. intelligence community, under the Obama administration, sought the assistance of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Donald Trump’s associates before the 2016 election is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to protect its interests and challenge its adversaries. (The Five Eyes countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.) This bombshell, reported by a team of independent journalists, exposes a dark chapter in American political history, where foreign intelligence services were reportedly mobilized against a presidential candidate.
The alleged operation against Trump and his associates, which predates the official start of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, is a stark example of political weaponization of intelligence. The involvement of foreign allies in surveilling American citizens under the pretext of national security raises serious questions about the integrity of our democratic processes and the autonomy of our nation’s intelligence operations.
The narrative that has been pushed for years, that the investigation into Trump’s campaign began with an Australian tip about a boastful Trump aide, now appears to be a cover for a more extensive and coordinated effort to undermine Trump. If reports are accurate, British intelligence began targeting Trump on behalf of American intelligence agencies as early as 2015, long before the official narrative claims.
The implications of this are profound. It suggests an unprecedented level of collusion between U.S. intelligence agencies and their foreign counterparts to influence the outcome of an American presidential election. The use of foreign intelligence to circumvent American laws and surveillance limitations represents a grave threat to our nation’s sovereignty and the principles of democracy.
The fact that this operation was reportedly initiated at the behest of high-ranking officials within the Obama administration, including CIA Director John Brennan, only adds to the severity of the situation. Brennan’s alleged identification of Trump associates for surveillance by the Five Eyes alliance, and the directive to “bump” or make contact with them, illustrates a deliberate strategy to entangle the Trump campaign in a web of suspicion and intrigue.
Moreover, the reported involvement of foreign intelligence in crafting the Russia collusion narrative not only delegitimizes the subsequent investigation but also highlights the willingness of certain elements within the U.S. government to exploit international partnerships for domestic political gain. This revelation demands a thorough and transparent examination to ensure that such abuses of power are brought to light and severely punished to discourage them from being repeated.
As more details emerge, it is imperative that the American public demand accountability from those who orchestrated and executed this operation. The sanctity of our electoral process and the trust in our intelligence agencies are at stake. We must not allow the politicization of intelligence to go unchecked, nor can we tolerate the involvement of foreign powers in our democratic processes.

Beware of the troubles of the world, there is war going on right now, are you even aware of that, most are not, they walk as if peace is going on and yet the enemy is rising up in many areas, deceiving many and leading many astray. And they’re preparing for war without brains, for they have nobody to lead them anymore, so be in prayer, be in prayer.

Why War is Inevitable & the Outcome
Guest Post by Martin Armstrong March 1, 2024
One of the basic rules of war is that you always keep two fronts going simultaneously. The first is the obvious battlefield. However, the second is communication. Suppose you DO NOT keep communication open through the back channels. In that case, there is NEVER the possibility of PEACE, and the war then becomes concluded only when one side is obliterated. This is what has taken place, and the demonizing of Putin is HIGHLY dangerous, for it shows there is no intention of peace. You cannot keep calling someone a piece of shit publicly and then expect the people to accept a reversal of that policy.
Goring Herman on War
Demonizing an opponent is to create hatred that leads your troops to be willing to die for some greater good. Field Marshall Goring explained it well when he was on trial at Nuremberg. You always denounce the peacemakers as conspiracy theorists, or as Nuland is calling the anti-war Republicans – “Putin’s wing of the Republican Party.” Victoria Nuland is the real Commander & Chief, not Biden, who is directing this war. She has made clear that she has absolutely no intention of stopping the war. The Neocons have spent their entire lives drooling at the thought of conquering Russia and China. When Communism fell, they never changed their view. When Ronald Reagan wanted to meet with Gorbachev, sensing that Russia wanted to end Communism, the Neocons objected, and I can tell you they told him, “You can never trust a Russian.” Reagan refused to listen and met with Gorbachev, and the Berlin Wall collapsed.
Zelenskyy Johnson
There was a peace deal that this war would have been over in 6 weeks. Putin withdrew his troops from the outskirts of Kiev as a sign of good faith that the deal would be that Zelensky would have secured the rights of the people in the Donbas and agreed not to join NATO. Putin agreed to withdraw all his troops from the occupied region in return for that agreement.
The Neocons sent Boris Johnson to kill that peace deal, proving that the West, from the outset, wanted this war they spent time to create. Since then, 500,000 Ukrainians have died, countless millions have fled Ukraine, and now sending more arms will not matter if there is nobody there left standing to fight.
Ukraine_Zelensky_fires_General_Valerii_Zaluzhnyi
This is why Zelensky fired Ukraine’s top commander, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, over his objection to the offensive and the astronomical health toll. Zelensky told the truth and initiated a draft for 500,000 fresh troops. Zaluzhnyi warned that Ukraine could not defeat Russia. The conflict with Russia had become a stalemate for months. Zaluzhnyi was very popular with the troops, and firing him was a major mistake that Zelensky, lacking any military experience, thought a general could just order people to die with no repercussions. Zelenskyy appointed the commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, to lead the army, which was a sharp blow to the morale of the troops.
Khruschev Brezinski
Syrskyi has been instrumental in Ukraine’s biggest successes during the war, including overseeing the defense of the capital in the early days of the invasion. Syrskyi was born in 1965 in the village of Novinki, Vladimir Oblast, Russian SFSR, then in the Soviet Union, into a military family of ethnic Russians. As of 2023, his parents and brother live in Russia. This demonstrates how intermixed the entire Ukraine is with ethnic Russians as Ukrainians today. I have reported previously that Kruschev grew up there and rebuilt Kiev after World War II. He merely reassigned Crimea to be administered by Kiev when it was part of Russia. Then, his successor, Brezhnev, was born in the Donbas.
The geopolitical situation concerning the Ukraine war will catalyze World War III. Historians said Europe, with its alliances, stumbled into World War I. The same is unfolding here in the 21st century. Political leaders make decisions on the immediate event without ever even thinking about what will be the next step.
This Ukrainian War is very much intertwined with the rise of China as an economic and Military superpower. Ukraine has become the stomping ground concerning the rivalry of the three great powers: the United States, Russia, and China.
China on the Rise
The Ukraine war has triggered a completely new dynamic in the relationship between these great powers with respect to this rivalry. What is being overlooked here is that China, and not Russia, is capable of replacing the United States as the leading world economic and military power, as we warned several years ago, back in 2011 and 2018. Our model projected that China would eventually replace the United States as the leading economic power.
CUGUSA Y Chart Array 1 1 23
A number of people did not like that forecast, but my job was to present the UNBIASED projections of the computer. I have grandkids. I hate to see the future we are leaving behind. This is the data from the Federal Reserve. The differential peak occurred in 2006 with a premium of $1.3 trillion. Even since then, China has been growing in leaps and bounds, and it may even surpass the US in the 2025/2026 period and reach a peak by 2032.
Alaska_Secession_2 16 24
2024 1 18 Jamie_Dimon_tells_Dems_to_be_respectful_of_MAGA_supporters
All I can do is show the trend and provide the timing as to when this will unfold. This war that the Neocons are hell-bent on launching will destroy the United States in the process. The risk of dissent and even a separatist movement because of their demonizing Trump and everyone who voted for him is causing a major divide. Even Jamie Dimon has warned the Democrats this hatred they hurl at Trump is dividing the country and our model shows the separatist movement is rising. Even more than one-third of Alaskans want to separate from the USA now.
The immediate American National Security Strategy confirms the forecast we made back in 2011 and 2018 that the People’s Republic of China is the only competitor that intends to reshape the international order economically while its political government increasingly possesses the diplomatic, military, and technological power to propel and fulfill Beijing’s ambitions to create an extended sphere of influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Eventually, China will become the world’s leading economic and military power.
This is why, in the Ukraine War, the United States Neocons aimed to weaken Russia, its second geopolitical rival, politically, economically, and militarily. Then, they intend to focus on the confrontation with China, their formidable and biggest adversary. To achieve their strategic goal, the Neocons have sought close cooperation with Europe and pushed NATO to expand to Asia.
Under this new Chancellor of Germany, his visit to Washington demonstrated that Germany was apparently ready to take on a leadership role in the Ukrainian Proxy War. However, NATO intends to bring the European allies involved in a future conflict with China together with Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea. This is the planned Indo-Pacific network of partners and allies against China. There is reason to infer that Macron’s recent statement to send Troops into Ukraine may be more of a rivalry with Germany for the lead role.
This may seem a wise move on the surface by the Neocons first to take down Russia, which they perceive to be the weaker of the two geopolitical rivals. Secondly, they will launch another Proxy War using Taiwan for canon fodder rather than directly confront China, which is clearly the stronger opponent.
I believe that the Neocons are making a huge mistake by opening a strategic military two-front confrontation against China and Russia, which is a ticking nuclear time bomb that will engulf the entire world. North Korea is producing arms for Russia, and it has instructed its army to “grid for war.” North Korea has a deal manufacturing ammunition for Russia. In return, Russia is providing the desperately needed food for North Korea.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Amunpor-Bias.mp4
This Proxy War in Ukraine was a turning point for Europe as a whole, for everyone behind the curtain knew it was foolish to think that Ukraine would defeat Russia. This was merely a propaganda pitch the mainstream press was fed and ran with to the detriment of the Ukrainian people. As I have pointed out, it is a psychological tactic to demonize your opponent to get the people to then hate them and apply that image to all people associated with them being in a country or politicos. It is working when you see CNN claimed journalists using hate language to describe Putin.
Zelensky has routinely lied about the casualties to keep up the propaganda. This demonstrates the determination behind this propaganda over the last two years, rendering it understandable when one knows that Germany plays a particularly important role on the geopolitical chessboard of the United States. For years, the unspoken fear was the union of Germany and Russia, which would be a formidable match of industrial production with Russia’s limitless raw materials resources. A union of Russia and Germany would represent the only power that could threaten the United States economically in that sphere comparable to China’s.
This places Macron’s shocking proposition to send NATO troops into Ukraine to appear to be taking the lead from Germany, but also because Ukraine cannot survive. The fall of Ukraine undermines this entire strategy and exposes the flaws in the goals of the Neocons. Russia never intended to conquer Ukraine. Putin only sent in 190,000 troops when Ukraine had nearly 500,000 trained by the West. The fact that Putin’s troops reached Kiev in the first weeks demonstrated the superiority of the Russian military. Sending Western troops into Ukraine, as Macron proposed, would be insane, for then it is a direct confrontation without any communication for peace.
Macron even said, “Nothing should be excluded.“ He also added: “There is no consensus at this stage.” However, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico suggested that “a number of NATO and EU member states are considering that they will send their troops to Ukraine on a bilateral basis.” He did not offer many details, saying he could not specify why the troops would be sent and their mission.
Putin wars of nuclear war thanks to Macron
As I warned, sending in NATO troops to Ukraine will be a Declaration of War. Putin came out and warned that Western nations “must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory.” He added: “All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don’t they get that?” Putin has been criticized at home by the hardliners that he has been a fool and that this has been a war really with the USA and NATO.
The Mask has Dropped
I have been warning for the past two years that the prospect of creating World War III BEFORE the 2024 election was a reality. The Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko, has called it like it is. He is warning that the West is on the ” edge of the abyss ” of World War Three. Lukashenko has made it clear that he has “legitimate concerns” about the likelihood of a global conflict and accused the West of fuelling war tensions and pushing the world towards disaster. I cannot disagree. The F16s were for defense, and now NATO has lifted all restrictions.
“We are literally covered with an information wave of the so-called premonition of the third world war, which just a lazy one still hasn’t mentioned. And there are grounds for these fears,” Lukashenko said, according to Sky News.
NATO F16s 2024
Besides Macron, NATO is pushing for war, altering the terms of handing Ukraine weapons for defense to outright invasion of Russia. The head of NATO approved Ukraine to to use the F16s to fly into Russia and start bombing their cities as a deliberate provocation, praying Russia would attack so they could call them the aggressor. All they have to do is honor the Minsk Agreement, and the war will end in 24 hours. These people are filled with such hatred it is beyond description.
May 2 2014 Odessa Trade Unions House
Let’s make it very clear. Ukraine has been destroyed, and Zelensky has so much blood on his hands it will never wash off. Ukraine cannot launch any offensive. They are pulling back and now seeking to defend themselves. They have surrendered, and they hope to retake the Donbas; and Russia is likely to take Odesa – where the Ukrainians started the civil war and the whole separatist movement by slaughtering and Russian speaking Ukrainians burning them alive in the Trade Union Building in 2014, pushing their old Nazi position of ethnic cleansing.
Janus
The Neocons should take a lesson from the Romans, who knew that war’s outcome was never 100% assured. Their god, Janus, represented the beginning and ending of conflict – war and peace. In ancient Rome, the Temple of Janus stood in the Roman Forum with doors on both ends and inside was a statue of Janus, who is always represented as the two-faced god after whom January is named. So when we celebrate New Year’s Eve, we say goodbye to the past and hello to the future, which is a concept stemming from Janus.
Nero Dupondius RIC 338 Temple Janus
The Gates of the Temple of Janus were the main purpose behind the Temple itself, for it tied together warfare and religious tradition. The opening and closing of the gates were to symbolize either wartime or peace. The historian Virgil said the gates held in Discord and Fury inside the Temple during peace. When the Gates were open, this let the discord free, whereby the historian Horace inferred that if Janus himself was kept locked in the temple, then there was peace. During the reign of Augustus, it was said that the doors were shut three times – Pax Romana.
Nuland Victoria 5
These Neocons should ponder the question: What if I am wrong? They, like Zelensky, will destroy the West and render it subservient to China in the end.
Financial Capital World Economy
After the fall of Rome, Byzantium became the major power. When they fell in 1453, the power shifted to India, the source of all the Spice Trade. Their main rival was China, and they eventually overtook India as the Financial Capital of the World. Europe undermined them as the British conquered India and then China. But World War I and II shifted that laurel wreath to the United States. The Neocons have invited war and opened the Gates to let Discord and Flury run freely to engulf the world. This time, the laurel wreath will pass to China. Nothing ever lasts forever.

etc for do you not know the day and the hour that you are now living in as Russia is about to make her move and China is backing her one hundred percent and that is the move that you will see very soon now. For truly Russia will make her move and rend the United States helpless, remember I’ve warned you that, I’ve told you about this. For truly it’s now that time and that hour that judgment must come to America to wake up those who are fast asleep, for they do not know the time nor the hour that they are living in.

Dramatic moment NATO Top Guns intercept Russian warplanes over Baltic Sea… then head off MORE Putin aircraft north of Poland as Vladimir tests the West's defences
NATO said that two French Mirage 2000-5s intercepted a Russian SU-30-M aircraft over the Baltic Sea
By James Callery and Miriam Kuepper and Will Stewart
Published: 06:32 EST, 1 March 2024 | Updated: 08:54 EST, 1 March 2024
This is the dramatic moment NATO Top Guns intercept Russian warplanes over the Baltic Sea before heading off another Putin aircraft north of Poland.
It came as the Russian president made a direct threat to nuke the West as he accused NATO and the US of 'preparing to strike' Russia in his annual address to the nation.
NATO said that two French Mirage 2000-5s intercepted a Russian SU-30-M aircraft over the Baltic Sea yesterday.
It also noted that directly after, the French fighters were re-tasked to a new mission, where they intercepted a Russian AN-72 flying in international airspace north of Poland.
On February 12, Russia claimed that NATO had scrambled warplanes to confront a pair of nuclear-capable missile carriers that were seen patrolling the Norwegian Sea.
The Kremlin once again taunted the bloc by launching two TU-95MS planes to patrol the Norwegian Sea, which were escorted by a group of Su35S aircraft.
The five-hour flight also saw 'fighters from foreign countries' accompany the unit, though Moscow did not specify which Western air forces were deployed.
An MoD source told MailOnline that the RAF had not launched any planes in response to the fly-over.
The Norwegian Sea is bordered to the south by the Shetland Islands, to the east by Norway, and to the west by Iceland.
'The flight was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace,' said Lieutenant-General Sergei Kobylash, commander of Russian long-range aviation.
'Long-range aviation pilots regularly fly over the neutral waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, Pacific Ocean, Black and Baltic Seas.'
Days after French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the West has not 'ruled out' putting boots on the ground in Ukraine to fight the Russian invasion, Putin said in his annual address yesterday: 'They, NATO and America, are active in other parts of the world, of course, and they continue to lie there, to deceive.
'They are preparing to strike our territory and, using the best possible forces, the most effective forces to do so.
'But we remember the fate of those who try to invade our territory and of course their fate will be much more tragic than anything we could face.'
Putin repeatedly lauded Russia's vastly modernised nuclear arsenal in his speech and added as a warning to the West: 'They have to understand that we also have weapons, weapons that can defeat them on their own territory.
'Of course all this is very dangerous, because it could actually trigger the use of nuclear weapons. Do they not understand that?'
The Russian despot also chillingly assured that 'strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness for guaranteed use', but warned the use of nuclear weapons would equal the 'destruction of civilisation'.
He told NATO countries that their threats have created a 'real' risk of nuclear war if they sent troops to Ukraine, adding that Russia must strengthen its western military district after Finland and Sweden's admission to the Atlantic alliance as Finland has a long land border with northwest Russia.
Putin said: 'They should eventually realise that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory.
'Everything that the West comes up with creates the real threat of a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and thus the destruction of civilisation.'

Tornado touches down in Broome County, only 2nd time tornado hits NY in month of February
Updated: Mar. 01, 2024, 8:10 a.m.|Published: Mar. 01, 2024, 7:50 a.m.
By Fernando Alba | falba@syracuse.com
A tornado touched down near a small Broome County hamlet Wednesday, reaching an estimated max speed of 100 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
The tornado hit near Castle Creek around 5:20 p.m. and traveled .61 miles with a width of 150 yards, the weather service said.
It’s only the second time that a tornado touched ground in New York in the month of February since records began in 1950, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The other one occured Feb. 24, 1975, in Cattaraugus County.
Since 1950, New York state has had 515 confirmed tornadoes.
Wednesday’s tornado was confirmed as an EF-1, the second lowest rating on the Fujita tornado scale. It lasted only two minutes but managed to damage two properties between Route 11 and Interstate 81, the weather service said.
A chimney came down on a home’s roof, a gazebo was destroyed and a barn’s wall and portions of its roof were torn off.
Pieces of the barn carried by the tornado came back down like “missles,” impaling the ground, according to a damage survey by the weather service.
The tornado lifted at the Castle Creek stream just before I-81.

The Blob Quivers
March 1, 2024
Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
“Russian meddling will eventually outstrip ‘Saw X’ as America’s most exhaustively-mined sequel series” — Matt Taibbi
Did the Blob get vaxxed and boosted? Does that explain the severe neurological damage it displays now as its hologram of lies about Ukraine and Russia Russia Russia flickers out in the blinding daylight of reality. First, there was the gigantic New York Times article published last Sunday blowing open the decade-long secret shadow war by the CIA in a sprawling network of underground bunkers on and around the Russian border.
The story was a direct feed from Blob Central in Langley, VA, to Times errand boys Adam Entous and Michael Schwirtz, longtime RussiaGate hoaxers, and obviously intended to get ahead of the real news that the neo-con project to turn Ukraine into a NATO forward base against Russia has collapsed. Read closely, the Times story appears to be an effort by current CIA chief William Burns to hang-out-to-dry his predecessors John Brennan, Mike Pompeo, and Gina Haspel for the failed eight-year-long operation. Why? Because it looks like Russia is fixing to shut down the war ASAP, before its March 15 presidential election.
As it happened, Russian diplomats and Ukraine President Zelensky took turns visiting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) in Saudi Arabia this week, sparking rumors that these were peace talks with MBS playing mediator. The situation is delicate for all concerned. Ukraine itself verges on collapse with its army decimated, its ammo used up, and its coffers empty, awaiting the $60-plus-billion aid package that is stalled in Congress, meaning no salaries for Ukraine govt employees and no pensions.
It’s delicate for the US because “Joe Biden” has declared our country won’t negotiate over Ukraine, despite the fact that there is nothing else to do now, or the end of the war will be negotiated without us. And remember, not many days ago Mr. Putin told Tucker Carlson that he was ready to talk to anybody. What this will demonstrate is that America has neither the ability to continue its proxy war nor the will or sense to engage in peace talks — all due to “Joe Biden’s” abject intransigence, and not a good look for someone pretending to run for re-election.
It’s delicate for Russia because such a humiliating loss for America could provoke “JB” and his NATO allies to some reckless and foolish act, say, sending NATO members’ ground troops directly into battle or a missile strike on Russian territory, setting off nuclear war. At the very least, the situation has already prompted the US government propaganda machine to kick-start Russia Russia Russia 3.0, the threadbare narrative that has been the accelerant of Democratic Party hallucinations about Russia interfering in US elections since 2016 — when it has actually been US spooks collaborating with a motley assortment of Ukrainian stooges, plus Marc Elias’s lawfare corps, plus the Intel Blob coercing social media to work its will. The majority of the voters don’t seem receptive to a replay of this scam but the US government is at war with those voters, so anything goes in the struggle to retain power.
While we await news out of those peace talks, a political firestorm rages around illegal immigrants from all over the world swarming across the US border. Nothing about that seems even remotely comprehensible, let alone defensible, anymore, as women fall prey to rape and murder by mutts released on-purpose into the US population, and cities groan under the financial burden of housing and supporting them. And so, it looks like the person directly responsible, Alejandro Mayorkas, might be riding his House impeachment bill into a senate trial — another bad look for the Democratic Party (of Chaos) going into the heart of election season.
Speaking of bad looks, did you happen to read the transcript of Hunter Biden’s testimony to the conjoined House Committees yesterday on the matter of the Biden family’s global bribery business? It’s available at this link, all 229 pages of the hours-long session. I read over 120 pages of the dang thing in the wee hours overnight and it’s really a fabulous soap opera of First Son Hunter Biden copping a plea over his various addiction problems (boo-hoo), and repeating endlessly, against a blizzard of incriminating documentary evidence, that his “dad” had no knowledge of his business deals with Ukrainian, Chinese, Russian, Kazakh, and Romanian parties, and did not receive any money filtered through the network of Hunter’s many fake companies (multiple Rosemont Senecas and Hudson Wests) that had no other business except routing payments into Biden family bank accounts.
The DOJ arm of the Blob has worked double-overtime, of course, to keep the mighty paws of the law from mauling poor, addiction-victim Hunter, most recently last month trotting out veteran “trusted” FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, arrested as “a liar” for having purveyed info about multi-million dollar bribes to the Biden family from the Ukrainian Burisma natgas company where Hunter was a board member (at roughly a million dollars a year), supposedly to get then Veep Dad to grease the exit ramp for Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was famously investigating the company and its oligarch owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
One conclusion you can draw from all these matters is that they are not going away. Rather, they are leading to a set of gruesome showdowns not just for the ever more pathetic looking “Joe Biden,” but for his Party of Chaos heading toward a possible extinction event in November. The big question really is, will that party blow up the United States of America in the process?

WEF Pushes Ban on Home-Grown Food to ‘Fight Climate Change’
Frank Bergman March 1, 2024 - 12:59 pm
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on governments to ban the general public from growing their own food at home by arguing that they are causing “climate change.”
According to so-called “experts” behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the “carbon footprint” of home-grown food is “destroying the planet.”
As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to “save the planet” from “global warming.”
The research indicated that resorting to garden-to-table produce causes a far greater carbon footprint than conventional agricultural practices, such as rural farms.
This research, conducted by WEF-funded scientists at the University of Michigan, was published in the journal Nature Cities.
The study looked at different types of urban farms to see how much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced when growing food.
On average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07 kilogram (kg) of CO2, according to the study.
However, the WEF-funded researchers claim that the impact on the environment is almost five times higher at 0.34kg per portion for individual city gardens.
The paper’s first author Jake Hawes said:
“The most significant contributor to carbon emissions on the urban agriculture sites we studied was the infrastructure used to grow the food, from raised beds to garden sheds to pathways, these constructions had a lot of carbon invested in their construction.”
The study recruited 73 urban agriculture sites around the world.
Those farms included some in Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The researchers say they conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment on the site’s infrastructure, irrigation, and supplies.
Hawes and his teammates grouped urban agriculture sites into three categories: individual or family gardens, including allotments; collective gardens, such as community gardens; and larger, commercial-orientated urban farms.
The researchers also found other factors that they claimed are “hazardous” when it comes to impacting the alleged “climate crisis.”
Poorly managed compost and other synthetic inputs contribute to “global warming,” they warned.
They further advised that fruit was 8.6 times more “eco-friendly” when grown conventionally compared to in a city.

Vegetables, meanwhile, were 5.8 times better for the environment when left to the professionals, they claim.
Moreover, two-thirds of the “carbon footprint” of allotments is created by the garden itself, as per their data.
Nevertheless, they insist that people should be limited when it comes to keeping plants inside their homes, as well as growing food in their gardens.
Urban gardeners used to have no qualms about greening their indoor spaces.
For one, this reduces city living anxieties and emotional stress.
Also, being able to take care of plants inside their offices and homes could be part of interior design and a slight improvement in air quality.
However, climate alarmists are not going to give city dwellers peace of mind.
According to the WEF researchers, greening indoor spaces can also come at an environmental cost.
They cite “carbon emissions” from the trucks that transport plants, plastic pots, and synthetic fertilizers.
These, they said, are made from petroleum and the harvesting of soil components like peat can “tear up slow-forming habitats.”
Susan Pell, the director of the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., downplayed the narrative.
Pell argues that members of the general public should at least still be able to grow potted plants at home, even if they can’t buy them.
They just need to consider the “environmental harm of indoor gardening,” she claims.
The news comes amid a growing war against the food supply to supposedly fight “global warming.”
As Slay News reported, 14 major American cities have set a “target” to comply with the WEF’s green agenda goals by banning meat and dairy products by 2030.
The agreement also seeks to ban private car ownership and place other restrictions on public freedoms to meet the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals.
The U.S. cities have formed a coalition called the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group” (C40) which has established an “ambitious target” to meet the WEF’s goals by the year 2030.
To fulfill the “target,” the C40 Cities have pledged that their residents will comply with the following list of mandatory rules:
“0 kg [of] meat consumption”
“0 kg [of] dairy consumption”
“3 new clothing items per person per year”
“0 private vehicles” owned
“1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person”
Earlier this week, New York’s anti-Trump Democrat Attorney General Letitia James advanced this agenda by filing a lawsuit against the world’s largest beef producer, as Slay News reported.
NY AG James is suing JBS USA over claims the company has failed to meet its so-called “Net Zero” pledge.
The get-Trump prosecutor accuses JBS of allegedly contributing to “global greenhouse gas emissions” as “families continue to face the daily impacts of the climate crisis.”
In an announcement, James blasted the agriculture industry and argued that beef production has the largest “greenhouse gas footprint” of any major food commodity.
James also claimed that animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Essentially, the taxpaying masses must stop eating meat and using natural fuels to meet the goals of the elite.

California dentist gunned down in pre-planned attack by ‘disgruntled’ ex-patient who sparked 5-hour manhunt: cops
By Social Links for Katherine Donlevy Published March 2, 2024, 7:58 p.m. ET
A dentist was shot and killed at his California office Thursday by a “disgruntled” former patient who planned out the slaying weeks in advance, according to police.
Mohammed Abdulkareem, 29, allegedly stormed into Smile Plus Dentistry & Orthodontics wearing all-black clothing around 4:15 p.m. and opened fire, striking two adult men and one adult woman.
The gunman then hopped in a U-Haul pick-up with Arizona plates and fled the scene, the El Cajon Police Department said.
Mohammed Abdulkareem allegedly shot three people, killing one, at a California dental office. El Cajon Police Department
First responders arrived within just two minutes, but one of the men died at the scene. The others were rushed to the hospital in serious, but stable condition.
Though police did not name the victims, the deceased was identified by the Yeshiva World as Dr. Benjamin Harouni, a Jewish dentist who worked at the dental practice owned by his father.
Receptionist, Yareli Carrillo, 28, and a man in his 40s were the other victims of the shooting, according to the outlet.
El Cajon Police Department could not immediately confirm their identities.
The shocking shooting spurred a manhunt for the U-Haul and Abdulkareem, who police described as “armed and dangerous” in an alert warning of an active shooter.
He was captured roughly five hours after the shooting after a citizen reported the rental truck abandoned in San Diego, just 20 miles away from the dental office.
Abdulkareem was found nearby, along with a loaded handgun and several loaded handgun magazines.
The shooting appeared to have been planned out weeks in advance, according to cops.
Records show Abdulkareem legally purchased the handgun just two weeks earlier and rented the U-Haul one hour before allegedly gunning down his ex-dentist.
“While the exact motive behind the shooting remains under investigation, it is believed that Abdulkareem was a disgruntled former customer,” the El Cajon Police Department said in a statement.
The Anti-Defamation League in San Diego said Friday that the victim of the shooting was a member of the Jewish community, but said police have found no indication it was caused by antisemitism.
Smile Plus Dentistry lists Harouni as one of three doctors who work for his father Jack, who owns the El Cajon-based office.
Harouni had celebrated his birthday just nine days before his slaying, according to a social media post.
Abdulkareem was booked into a San Diego jail on felony charges, including one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
He is being held without bail.

Putin makes direct threat to NUKE the West as he accuses NATO and the US of 'preparing to strike' Russia in his annual address to the nation - and warns of 'the destruction of civilisation'
Miiriam Kuepper
Published: 04:52 EST, 29 February 2024 | Updated: 10:26 EST, 29 February 2024
Vladimir Putin has made a direct threat to nuke the West as he accused NATO and the US of 'preparing to strike' Russia in his annual address to the nation.
The Russian president, 71, said: 'They, NATO and America, are active in other parts of the world, of course, and they continue to lie there, to deceive.
'They are preparing to strike our territory and, using the best possible forces, the most effective forces to do so.
'But we remember the fate of those who try to invade our territory and of course their fate will be much more tragic than anything we could face.'
Putin repeatedly lauded Russia's vastly modernised nuclear arsenal in his speech and added as a warning to the West: 'They have to understand that we also have weapons, weapons that can defeat them on their own territory.
'Of course all this is very dangerous, because it could actually trigger the use of nuclear weapons. Do they not understand that?'
The Russian despot also chillingly assured that 'strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness for guaranteed use', but warned the use of nuclear weapons would equal the 'destruction of civilisation'.
He also told NATO countries that their threats have created a 'real' risk of nuclear war if they sent troops to Ukraine, adding that Russia must strengthen its western military district after Finland and Sweden's admission to the Atlantic alliance as Finland has a long land border with northwest Russia.
'They should eventually realise that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory.
'Everything that the West comes up with creates the real threat of a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and thus the destruction of civilisation,' Putin added.
The , after France hinted at the possibility.United States and key European allies this week said they had no plans to send ground troops to Ukraine
He also claimed that the West was trying to 'drag' Russia into an arms race. 'They are trying to wear us down, to repeat the trick they succeeded (in pulling off) with the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
'Therefore, our task is to develop the defence-industrial complex in such a way as to increase the scientific, technological and industrial potential of the country.
'We need to distribute resources as rationally as possible and build an efficient economy of the armed forces, to achieve the maximum for every rouble of defence expenditures.'
In terms of allies, Putin said he believes it is important for Russia to strengthen ties with Arab countries and Latin American countries.
He also praised policies from allied countries such as the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative in China - a global infrastructure strategy.
He further hailed Russian national unity amid the fighting in Ukraine in his state-of-the-nation address ahead of next month's election he's all but certain to win.
Speaking to an audience of lawmakers and top officials televised live nationwide, Putin praised Russia's troops fighting in Ukraine as 'courageous' warriors who would not back down.
'I look at these courageous people, sometimes very young guys, and without any exaggeration I can say my heart fills with pride. They will not back down, will not fail and will not betray,' the Russian president said.
He also honored those who were killed in fighting with a moment of silence.
Putin, who is running as an independent candidate in the March 15-17 presidential election, relies on the tight control over Russia's political system that he has established during 24 years in power.
Prominent critics who could challenge him have either been imprisoned or are living abroad while most independent media has been banned, meaning that his re-election for another six-year term is all but assured.
He faces token opposition from three other candidates nominated by Kremlin-friendly parties represented in parliament.
Russia's best-known opposition leader Alexei Navalny, whose attempt to run against Mr Putin in 2018 was rejected, died suddenly in an Arctic prison colony earlier this month, while serving a 19-year sentence on extremism charges. His funeral is set for Friday.
Mr Putin has repeatedly said that he sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022 to protect Russian interests and prevent Ukraine from posing a major security threat to Russia by joining Nato.
Kyiv and its allies have denounced it as an unprovoked act of aggression.
The Russian leader has repeatedly signalled a desire to negotiate an end to the fighting but warned that Russia will hold on to its gains.
He said that Russia was 'ready for dialogue' with the US 'on strategic stability'.
'Recently there have been more and more unsubstantiated accusations against Russia, for example that we are allegedly going to deploy nuclear weapons in space.
'Such innuendo, which is nothing but innuendo, is a ploy to draw us into negotiations on their own terms, which are favourable only to the United States.
'Therefore, we have every reason to believe that the words of today's American authorities about their alleged interest in negotiations with us on strategic stability issues are demagoguery...
'On the eve of the US presidential election, they simply want to show their citizens and everyone else that they still rule the world.'
He also addressed the war in Ukraine in his speech, claiming Russia was 'defending its sovereignty and security and protecting the lives of our fellow countrymen in Donbas and Novorossiya', which are regions of Ukraine that Russia claims to have annexed.
'The decisive role in this righteous struggle belongs to our citizens, our unity, devotion to our native country and responsibility for its fate,' Putin added.
'These qualities were clearly and unambiguously manifested at the very beginning of the special military operation, when it was supported by the absolute majority of the Russian people.
'Despite all the trials and bitterness of losses, people are adamant in this choice.
'We did not start this war in Donbas. As I have said many times, we will do everything to end it, to eradicate Nazism. To fulfill all the tasks of the special military operation. To protect the sovereignty and security of our citizens.'
The war in Ukraine has triggered the worst crisis in Moscow's relations with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and Putin has previously warned of the dangers of a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia.
Visibly angry, Putin, Russia's paramount leader for more than two decades, suggested Western politicians recall the fate of those, like Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler and France's Napoleon Bonaparte who unsuccessfully invaded his country in the past.
'But now the consequences will be far more tragic,' said Putin. 'They think it (war) is a cartoon,' he said.
After outlining defence strategies, Putin turned to domestic policies, promising he would reduce taxes for small and medium-sized businesses as well as provide more money to support struggling Russian families and to boost the birth rate.
Putin also claimed that Russia will be among the four largest economic powers in the world by purchasing power in the near future.
Boasting vast natural resources, Russia's gross domestic product (GDP) rebounded sharply last year from a slump in 2022, but the growth relies heavily on state-funded arms and ammunition production for the war in Ukraine, masking problems that are hampering an improvement in Russians' living standards.

Never Before Has America Been So Close To War On U.S. Soil, And So Militarily Unprepared To Protect America And Americans From Attack, At The Same Time
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline February 28, 2024
At a time when tensions are higher than they ever have been with hostile nations, specifically nuclear capable countries such as China and Russia, along with two major wars ongoing, Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas, we also have an under-armed, and under-staffed military that cannot hit their recruitment goals.
We knew it was coming as in April 2023, the Army, Navy and Air Force all predicted recruiting shortfalls, a situation that has only gotten worse. The media of course is blaming everything from a lack of interest in the military lifestyle, to fear of physical injury and death, ignoring the fact that "diversity" has become more important under the Biden regime than preparedness.
Proof of that assertion? Amidst a military recruitment shortfall, the Pentagon decided it would be a good time to request $114 million for ‘diversity, inclusion’ programs, as reported back in November 2023.
According to Fox News, the $114.7 million request by the Pentagon is the largest financial request by the military for DEIA programs. However, the Biden administration’s Defense Department has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on DEIA initiatives over the past couple of years.
In fiscal year 2022, the Pentagon requested $68 million for DEIA initiatives, according to The Daily Wire. For fiscal year 2023, the Pentagon requested $86.5 million.
In response to the Pentagon’s budget request for DEIA programs, the GOP House Oversight Committee tweeted, “Last week, the Pentagon failed its 6th consecutive audit. This week, they requested $114 million for DEI. The Biden Admin’s focus on progressivism over warfighting continues to exacerbate the military recruiting crisis and calls into question our level of military preparedness.”
A few images of our military under the Biden regime, makes the point better than a thousand words could.
Now we see reports that the U.S. Army is cutting 24,000 positions in what they are calling "restructuring."
The claim, as seen by an LA Times report, is that the cuts are "to be better able to fight the next major war, as the service struggles with recruiting shortfalls that made it impossible to bring in enough soldiers to fill all the jobs."
The recruitment issue is worse than the headlines can describe because due to the shortage, the military has lowered their "standards," both physically and as part of the entrance exams, where now they get to use calculators during the exams, and by accepting lower test scores.
From The Hill in March 2023:
Following a three-year review, the Army has scrapped plans to use the same physical fitness test for all soldiers, choosing instead to have some reduced standards to allow women and older soldiers to pass, the service announced Wednesday.
It gets worse as Daily Caller explains.
• The Navy opened up the service to more prospective sailors who score at minimum levels on entrance examinations that test physical and mental aptitude on Dec. 5, Cmdr. David Benham, a Navy Recruiting Command spokesperson, told Military.com. New guidelines will allow 7,500 recruits, or roughly 20% of the new active duty enlisted cohort, from the lowest acceptable aptitude level to join.
• In June, the DOD shortened the minimum amount of time individuals with a history of conditions including asthma or behavioral health problems like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder would need to be symptom-free to enlist without a waiver, a DOD issuance shows. The military has allowed 700 recruits previously diagnosed with ADHD to join without a waiver in 2022, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
To recap in normal terms, they now allow the weak, unfit, unintelligent, medically compromised, to join, and they still cannot meet recruitment standards........or maybe that is one of the reasons they can't find enough people to join.
Really, would you like an unfit, stupid, medically compromised person watching your back in a foreign country fighting a war?
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
U.S. MILITARY UNPREPARED TO PROTECT AMERICA........
Foreign wars and dangers from nuclear capable countries aside, if our military standards are so low it affects our battle readiness in foreign countries, is anyone reading this feeling all warm and fuzzy about new recruits, under the massively lowered standards, protecting us here at home?
It is a reasonable question as we, and others, have documented the invasion at out southern border, where millions of illegal immigrants have been released into the interior of the country, with no vetting, and in some cases their court dates years down the line.
Of late, a huge increase in military aged Chinese men crossing, tens of thousands of them, with hundreds of thousands more possibly waiting for the word from Beijing to cross in preparation for an attack on America soil.
Americans are worried about it as illegal immigration is the top concern as of a recent Gallup poll.
As of January 2024, more than 7.2 million migrants had illegally crossed into the U.S. over the Southwest border during U.S. President Joe Biden's administration — a number higher than the individual populations of 36 states.
These numbers are so controversial that many Democrats denied the truth of the figures, and even the far left website Snopes had to admit the statement is true.
Those numbers only reflect encounters and there is no way to know how many illegally crossed the border and didn't encounter Border Control. Those are dubbed "gotaways."
Not only isn't the U.S. military prepared to fight in foreign wars, and win, but the Biden regime has created a "diversified" military that is highly unlikely to prepared to fight on U.S. soil as well.
BOTTOM LINE.........
I come from a family that has had many military members, my Mother was in the Army, my Father the Air Force, my Uncle the Navy, and my Brother the Marines, so I am not happy to report the degradation of our military, or lack of preparedness.
When any military is more worried about diversity, paying the medial bill for "transitioning" procedures, lowering physical, mental and educational requirements than it is being ready to fight a war and strong enough to do so, it is a huge risk to the nation itself.
When any nation projects weakness it has a variety of effects. Hostile nations are not worried about invading other countries because they see America as too weak to do anything other than offering up sanctions. Terrorist groups see weakness and attack allies. China is now making noises in regards to Taiwan, and I would bet that is Biden is allowed to stay in the White House another four years, China will invade Taiwan.
The most disturbing aspect of the Biden regime being more worried about diversity than military readiness, is that America is a sitting duck for any hostile nation that decides we are too weak to defend ourselves on our own soil.
Thanks heavens our citizens have the right to bear arms.

British and French Troops ON THE GROUND in Ukraine; Operating Cruise Missiles to attack Russian Troops
World Hal Turner 29 February 2024 Hits: 15794
Shocking revelations from the British Press reveal the British General Staff, led by Admiral Tony Radakin, directly participated in the attack on Russian Black Sea Fleet ships, and that German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz confirmed British and French troops are in Ukraine operating Cruise missiles to hit Russian targets.
Russian reaction to these revelations has been blunt: "This proves Britain and France have attacked Russia; we have the right to respond militarily" said one high ranking Russian official.
A story in "The Times" (HERE) reveals:
The story makes clear that Admiral Tony Radakin and his General Staff have been key to Ukraine sinking Russian vessels.
Meanwhile, "The Independent" in Britain revealed comments made by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who said Germany will not be sending Kiev any of Germany's "Taurus" missiles, Berlin’s version of the Storm Shadow missile, pointing to a risk of his country becoming directly involved in the war, referring to the UK and French assistance to Ukraine. (HERE)
On Monday, he said that German soldiers could not follow the lead of their British and French allies in “the way of target control and accompanying target control.”
By saying that, Scholtz revealed that French and British troops are, in fact, controlling the targeting and guidance-to-target of weapons (like cruise missiles) and are thus responsible for Russian targets being hit!
Stunningly, rather than try to walk-back what Scholz said, Norbert Rottgen, a senior lawmaker from the CDU, the former ruling party of Angela Merkel, said: “The chancellor’s statement regarding France and Britain’s alleged involvement in operating long-range cruise missiles used in Ukraine is completely irresponsible.”
From Britain, similar amazing reaction from Former Chairman of the Commons Defense Committee Tobias Ellwood, who said “This is a flagrant abuse of intelligence deliberately designed to distract from Germany’s reluctance to arm Ukraine with its own long-range missile system.”
(HT REMARK: So NATO troops taking part in ground operations and cruise missile targeting doesn't matter, it's only Scholz revealing it that is bad?????)

Two teens charged in murder of 15-year-old in Syracuse park identified
Updated: Feb. 28, 2024, 11:18 a.m.|Published: Feb. 28, 2024, 10:58 a.m.

Syracuse, N.Y. – Two teens charged in the fatal shooting of a Syracuse 15-year-old have been identified in an indictment filed Monday.
Karon Works, 15, was found with gunshot wounds around 8 p.m. on Dec. 12 in Lower Onondaga Park. He later died at Upstate University Hospital.
In late December, the first of two teen boys was arrested and charged with Works’ murder, Syracuse police said at the time. A month later another teen was charged, police said. Police refused to release the names of the teens.
The indictment names the teens: Ny’Zhon Thomas, 17, and Caleb Gibson, 16. They are both charged with second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to an indictment.
Gibson was already being held at the juvenile detention center on unrelated charges when he was arrested for the murder, police said.
The indictment lists a third person charged with acting with Thomas and Gibson but the name is redacted. Police have not arrested the third person, Syracuse police spokesperson Matthew Malinowski said Wednesday.
The indictment does not specify whether either of the two teens identified fired the shot that killed Works.
The indictment alleges that the three people acted together to fire two 9mm pistols at close range and caused Works’ death.
Gibson is set to be arraigned on the indictment Wednesday afternoon.

Arresting incident Hulking 280-pound student beats elderly teacher to the ground – with instructor claiming school refused to arrest unruly 'man child'
By Social Links for Selim Algar Published Feb. 28, 2024, 3:51 p.m. ET
Adding to the shocking spate of school violence across the nation, a 74-year-old Indiana substitute teacher claims he suffered a gruesome black eye from a teen — and teachers stopped him being arrested.
Shellshocked Rob Gooding, of Indianapolis, told News 8 he was serving as a substitute at Perry Meridian High School on February 1 when an unruly student suddenly approached him during a business class.
The hulking teen — who Gooding claims stood over 6 feet — raised his Chromebook and was poised to crash it down on his head.
“I saw him come up, and he said, ‘I’ve had it,’ and he came down and I blocked the Chromebook. That’s where the hole was,” Gooding said, pointing to a wound on his forearm.
“This man child was 6-feet-2, 280 pounds,” he said.
But the student then shoved the elderly instructor to the ground in front of shocked students and rained down punches on his head.

Naked brawler fends off spiked club attack on LA beach as stunned bystanders film duel
By Social Links for Jesse O’Neill Published Feb. 28, 2024, 1:43 p.m. E
A naked woman was caught on camera squaring off with another woman wielding a spiked club in Los Angeles on Monday.
The broad-daylight incident happened on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and was filmed by stunned bystanders, according to footage shared by TMZ.
In the clip, a svelte nude woman with long brown hair and a small back tattoo was seen adopting a defensive fighting stance and causally deflecting a spiked club that was being swung at her by another woman, who was clad in sandals and a spandex outfit.
The clothed woman eventually threw the spiked club at the nonplussed nude woman, who picked it up as her apparent attacker grabbed a bat.
The two women dueled for several moments before the naked woman knocked the bat out of the clothed woman’s hands and chased her off.
Neither woman appeared to have suffered injuries, and none of the many bystanders filming on the boardwalk tried to intervene, although many were heard making snide comments.
“This is the s–t we’re dealing with out here on Venice boardwalk,” one onlooker was heard saying.
“Where are the police when you need them,” interjected another.
The Los Angeles Police Department could not immediately provide information on the incident when contacted by The Post Wednesday.

Mom groped, slashed by unhinged creep on NYC bus unloads on Biden, Eric Adams for losing ‘control’ of city
By Social Links for Amanda Woods and Social Links for Joe Marino Published Feb. 28, 2024, 2:39 p.m. ET
A Bronx mother of two who was groped, then slashed by an unhinged man on a rush-hour MTA bus called out President Biden and Mayor Eric Adams — saying it’s on them to regain “control” of the city.
Stephanie Aquino, 33, told The Post that her harrowing ordeal had her praying that she’d see her 3-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter again.
“I just started praying, saying, ‘God, allow me the opportunity to see my kids and go back home,'” Aquino said in a phone interview. “‘Also, allow me the opportunity, because I’m not going to jail over this guy. It’s not worth it. And protect my kids.'”
Aquino was heading home on a crowded Bx2 bus around 5:15 p.m. Friday when she heard another straphanger mumbling “nonsense,” she told The Post in a Tuesday phone interview.
“Once he stopped talking, he touched me on my butt,” Aquino said. “I looked back and he said it wasn’t him. And everyone was looking at him, and I was like, ‘If that wasn’t you, that’s fine.’ I [just] hope nothing happens again.”
Instead of stopping his antics, the creep tried to slap Aquino, but she backed away from the strike and told the driver what had happened, she said.
“I told the driver, ‘The guy [who is] sitting down there, he just hit me and he grabbed my butt.’ I was saying, ‘Let me off the bus.’ He was saying, ‘I didn’t see him hitting you.’”
Then the lanky menace — who wore a pair of large Bluetooth headphones — flew into a rage and began cursing at Aquino as the bus approached the intersection of East Tremont Avenue and Grand Avenue, she said.
At that moment, Aquino said, she could only think of her children at home — and desperately turned to her faith.
“Once I finished my prayer — like I said it [out] loud — he jumped on me, literally all over,” Aquino recalled. “And that’s when the bus driver opened the door. [Then the suspect] dragged me off the bus, he grabbed me [by] my hoodie.
“And I did a flip, a backflip and I fell on the ground,” the injured mom added. “Once I was on the ground, my instinct just told me to get up. If I don’t get up from the ground, he might hurt my head or something.”
Aquino said she initially wanted to chase her attacker — but then decided getting back on the bus was a better plan.
But once she reboarded the bus, she realized that the enraged attacker had the same idea.
“Everyone was screaming. They said, ‘He’s coming back! He’s coming back!’” she recounted. “I didn’t see the knife first. He stabbed me like around three times, my chest and my belly, everywhere.
“He slashed my face the same way,” she said. “He was so fast. I was nervous. The way he hurt me, it was like he wanted to kill me.”

Now nowhere in San Francisco is safe from crime — we’re the proof, say shop owners in ‘quiet’ areas
By Social Links for Rikki Schlott Published Feb. 28, 2024, 1:59 p.m. ET
San Francisco’s crime spree has taken a new twist: it has exploded out of its shattered downtown into areas residents thought were still safe — despite its mayor claiming the city is beating the criminals.
Mayor Landon Breed touted declining crime numbers in January, saying in a statement that “our work around public safety is making a difference.”
But police statistics analyzed by The Post show that the city’s previously quieter residential areas are instead being hit hard with burglary — and shopkeepers in those areas told The Post they’re living on edge.
While crime in the notorious Tenderloin district and the surrounding downtown area is down compared with this time last year, burglary is up by 44% in 2024 in San Francisco’s more residential Taraval police district. Burglaries are also up by 19% in Ingleside and 6.2% in the Richmond neighborhood.
“It never occurred to me that crime would be a problem. It’s a nice, safe area on the edge of the city,” Taraval-area candy shop owner Diane Zogaric told The Post. “But that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.”
The city’s “doom loop” downtown has caused half of retailers to flee the area, citing crime and safety concerns, with progressive policies on criminal justice widely blamed for the exodus.
This week Macy’s became the latest retailer to call it quits, saying it will close its giant Union Square department store.
But in residential areas, shop owners told The Post they fear for their future.
Chinese restaurant owner Andy Yang said: “We can’t just pack up and leave. We spent decades of our youth building and cultivating our businesses. We have families here. We have properties here.”
Diana Zogaric never imagined that she was making herself a target of crime when she bought the candy store her children had loved when they were young in 2020. But she’s since been robbed and violently assaulted.
Zogaric, 53, took over Shaw’s Candy, a local favorite in the West Portal, when it came up for sale in August of 2020.
The first major crime was in March 2023, when her front door was smashed at 5 a.m. and a robber strolled in to grab her cash box containing $600, costing $1,500 in repairs. It was a forewarning of the sharp crime rise in the police district of Taraval, of which West Port is a par.
“The police who responded were great, but I don’t think that they prioritize crimes of that nature,” Zogaric said.
Then in September of 2023, when Zogaric asked a homeless man bothering customers outside her store to leave, he shoved her in the chest, causing her to stumble backwards. “He proceeded to punch me numerous times in the head, and all the while I was backing away, he kept punching me,” she said.
He forced his way into the store, punched the manager in the face, and pushed an elderly woman customer. Four male bystanders managed to restrain him until the cops came.
The man is now being detained in a mental facility for two years after getting a schizophrenia diagnosis, and a restraining order will prevent him coming into the store when he is released, but she remains shaken.
“I find myself recoiling on the streets,” she said. “I kind of just wanna leave San Francisco.”
“The biggest fear for me now is for my employees. As awful as what happened to me was, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if that happened to a teenager,” she said.
Zogaric cannot let employees work alone for fear of their safety, and the city’s $18.07 minimum wage means her margins are stretched thin.
“It should not be dangerous to work in a candy store. But, here, it is.”
“I’m pretty left wing,” Zogaric said. “But I still think criminals need to be prosecuted. There’s no fear because crimes aren’t being taken seriously in San Francisco.”
Andy Yang’s Chinese joint Kung Food in the Park police district has been battered by vandals and burglars seven times since the pandemic.
The 35-year-old says the stress was so bad that he had an unexpected heart attack in December at the gym and is now recovering from bypass surgery.
“I’m just trying to keep my head out of the water,” the father of two, aged 4 and 18 months, told The Post. “I’m living in constant fear as a small business owner in San Francisco.”
“All the money that I’ve lost has just taken a toll on my life and my health,” he said.
“It’s the crime, it’s the vandalism, it’s the theft, it’s the beggars harassing customers. You can’t run a business like that, and I think I just collapsed under the stress of it all.”
Yang’s restaurant, in the North of the Panhandle neighborhood, has been broken into once every six months since 2020, costing him $15,000 in repairs, $3,000 in looted cash, and untold amounts in stolen food.
He used to leave takeout orders on his front table, but thieves snatched hundreds of dollars worth of food at a time. Once a waitress chased someone who stole takeout and got punched in the face.
“The restaurant business itself is a very thin margin business — especially with inflation — so all of this affects us tremendously,” he said.
Even though he pays $10,000 a year for insurance, his claims have never reached his deductible, leaving him to pay out of pocket and to stop filing entirely.
Throughout his string of burglaries, Yang contacted local city officials for support but says all he got in return was “some patronizing BS from like an intern.”
“I don’t blame the police for not doing their jobs. Their hands are tied,” he said.
Out of five burglaries, two perpetrators were caught by police, but, when he showed up to court, he learned that the district attorney had dropped the case.
Although crime is down this year in the Park district, he says, “If the rates are down here, I don’t feel any less miserable.”
Andy Yang says that the Asian-American community in San Francisco needs to speak up about crime. Pete Thompson for the New York Post.
Yang has posted about crime on social media and been sent nasty messages telling him to just leave San Francisco.
As crime continues to rage on, Yang says it’s important for the Chinese American community in San Francisco to speak up for themselves.
“Every small business owner I know is frustrated,” he said. “Everyone has an exit plan. Everyone is praying for Jesus to come to save us because clearly the elected officials aren’t going to.”
‘This is not the city I grew up in’
Michael Hsu, a 35-year-old San Francisco native, was thrilled when he bought his shoe store, Footprint, from his retiring boss in early 2020. But, when he took over the shop in the Sunset neighborhood, part of the Traval police district, things instantly fell apart.
“Two weeks later, we had to close because of Covid-19,” he said.
When Louis Vuitton was looted in San Francisco’s Union Square that June, Hsu knew he had to board up his business to protect his merchandise, so he shelled out $2,500 for in-demand plywood and depended on online business for more than seven months.
But, when he finally re-opened in 2021, he was barraged by crime like he’d never seen before: three major break-ins and repeated shoplifting which cost him around $50,000 in losses but resulted in zero arrests.
In 2021, burglars used a blowtorch to bypass the sensor which would alert him to broken glass and got away with over $25,000 in merchandise — a brutal toll considering his average sale is $100.
“It’s a lot of shoes we have to sell to make that up,” he said. “This isn’t Target or Nordstrom. This is a family business they’re stealing from.”
Later that year a thief, dubbed the Butt Crack Bandit, scaled scaffolding to get into his shop and got away with around $10,000 in shoes.
“It’s hard to sleep peacefully at night because you’re always wondering when the next call from the alarm company or the police is going to come,” Hsu, who relies on Footprint to support his 3-year-old daughter, told The Post. “The bottom line is we’re in San Francisco, so you have to be ready for anything.”
Even though he’s had to pay $1,500 each time his glass door was broken, it was below his insurance’s $2,000 deductible.
Then his insurers dropped him this month for filing too many claims — forcing him to pay 40% more to another insurer.
It can take a few weeks to get the glass he needs to repair his storefront, so now he orders two at a time, preparing for the next break-in.
“You can walk into a store and just walk out with anything, and there’s little that’s going to happen to you,” he said.
On New Year’s Eve thieves bashed in his windows and caused $20,000 in losses and repairs.
Even though the police arrived in under five minutes, the perpetrators got away — because, thanks to a local rule, the police aren’t able to pursue perpetrators of property crime if nobody is in harm’s way.
“That’s when I called the mayor’s office and said, ‘You gotta be kidding me. Watch this video. It doesn’t look good on you. It doesn’t look good on San Francisco. Let’s change this.”
Mayor Breed is now backing Proposition E, a ballot initiative that would allow police to pursue perps of property crime, like those who robbed Hsu.
“I don’t like to talk s–t about my city,” he said. “I love San Francisco. That’s why I want to work with policymakers — because we can do better, we’re better than this. We have to take back our city.”

The Rapture: Perhaps The Most Important Piece Of Prophecy For Us To Understand
By David Jeremiah February 28, 2024
The Rapture is perhaps the most important piece of prophecy for us to understand since it could very well impact us personally. This [article] will help you examine what the Rapture is, defend it biblically, and explain its personal and practical importance.
What is the Rapture? The Rapture is the biblical prophetic event where all who have put their trust in Christ, living and deceased, will suddenly be caught up from earth, be joined with Christ in the air, and taken to heaven. Paul describes the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18:
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV – “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
The Meaning of “Rapture”
Rapture is derived from the Latin translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which translates the Greek harpazo (to catch up or carry away) as rapiemur from the Latin rapio. The Greek harpazo occurs fourteen times in the New Testament with four variations of meaning, each of which contributes to our understanding of what Paul is describing in verse 17: “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with [the dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”
First, harpazo can mean “to carry off by force.” Christ will use His power to remove living and deceased believers from the last enemy, death.
Second, harpazo can mean “to claim for oneself eagerly.” Christ purchased us with His blood, and He will return to claim those who are His.
Third, harpazo can mean “to snatch away speedily.” The Rapture will occur “in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52).
Fourth, harpazo can mean “to rescue from the danger of destruction.” This meaning supports the idea that the Rapture will save the Church from experiencing the terrors of the seven-year Tribulation.
This coming event is the first part of Christ’s two-part return to earth. First, He’ll remove the Church from the world. Second, seven years later, He’ll establish His Kingdom on earth. For every prophecy in Scripture about Christ’s first advent, there are eight about His second. The 260 chapters of the New Testament contain 318 references to the Second Coming of Christ.
The Rapture Is Different From Christ’s Second Coming
Will the Rapture occur at Christ’s Second Coming? The short answer is, “Yes, but….” The Rapture sets in motion the End-Time events leading to Christ’s Second Coming. The two stages, Rapture and Return, will be separated by a seven-year Tribulation on earth. The purpose of the Rapture is to spare Christ’s own from the horrors of the Tribulation according to Revelation 3:10.
The prophets saw what appears to be the Tribulation—“the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7)—not the Rapture. But that is not surprising; they didn’t differentiate clearly between the First and Second Advents of Christ. The prophets “inquired and searched carefully” (1 Peter 1:10-11), but they saw more of the big picture than the details. And they didn’t see the Church at all, which is who the Rapture affects. The prophets saw the future like seeing successive mountain peaks through a telephoto lens. They saw the peaks (events), but not the distance that separates them.
Three New Testament passages tell us about the Rapture: John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians are the most complete and form the basis for this discussion.
First, we must note that Paul gained his understanding of the Rapture via special revelation from God—he called it a “mystery” in 1 Corinthians 15:51, meaning a truth not previously revealed. The revelation was “by the word of the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:15).
Second, Paul shared this revelation in order to meet a practical concern of the Christians in Thessalonica. They were concerned about the fate of Christians who died before Christ’s Second Coming (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and about the timing of the Rapture—whether it had already happened (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).
Three Reasons the Rapture Could Happen Today
Reason 1: The Rapture is a signless event.
Unlike the Second Coming, no signs will precede the Rapture. This is called the doctrine of imminency—that is, the Rapture is imminent; it could happen at any moment. Specifically, nothing in God’s prophetic program must take place as a prerequisite to the Rapture. Things may happen but nothing must happen. That means we don’t know when it could happen. It could be today or years from today.
Without any warning, Jesus Christ will return to rapture His saints and take them to heaven. Christians must live prepared lives, ready to meet their Savior at any moment.
Reason 2: The Rapture is a surprise event.
While many through the years have predicted the date of the Rapture and Jesus’ Second Coming, Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:36-39 should be taken literally: No one, including Jesus and the angels, knows the time of His return. Only God the Father knows. Not knowing when Jesus will come for His Church causes us to be ready at all times.
Reason 3: The Rapture is a sudden event.
Paul wrote that the Rapture will take place “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52). “Twinkling” likely refers to the amount of time it takes for light, traveling at 186,000 miles per second, to be reflected on the retina of one’s eye. In less than a nanosecond, the Lord will call believers to Himself!
1 Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.” These are not three distinct sounds, but one sound described three different ways.
This sound will be like a shout, ringing with commanding authority like the voice of an archangel. It will also be like the blare of a trumpet in its volume and clarity. And the sound will be heard only by those who have trusted Christ as Savior. Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come forth!” in John 11:43. His shout of “Come forth!” at the Rapture will not name a single individual, but will be heard by every believer in every grave around the world.
At the moment of the Rapture, God’s people from every era—the disciples, the martyrs of the ages, your godly ancestors, and many more—will rise from their graves.
The Rapture Only Involves Christians
Each of the three major passages that teach about the Rapture indicate that it involves believers only (including innocent children too young to believe). Anyone who does not trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior will not be raptured into the Lord’s presence and will be left to suffer the horrors of the Tribulation.
Jesus’ words in John 14:1-3 were spoken to His disciples—men who were obviously believers. He assured them that He would prepare a place for them in His Father’s house; they were members of the family of faith in the same way Christians are today. “I will come again and receive you to Myself” (verse 3) describes what we call the Rapture—the uniting of Jesus Christ with His faithful followers.
In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul talked about “those who are Christ’s at His coming” (verse 23). Verse 1 informs us that the passage was written to “brethren,” and verse 58 concludes the passage by talking about abounding in the work of the Lord, an obvious reference to Christian believers.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Paul refers to believers as “brethren” (verse 13), as those who “believe that Jesus died and rose again” (verse 14), and as the “dead in Christ” (verse 16).
These passages are clear: the Rapture is restricted to believers. Only those who are followers of Christ will be taken up into heaven when He returns.
Three Ways the Rapture Can Impact Our Life Today
The Rapture can change our life; it is a source of personal comfort and hope. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians about it to ease their concerns about their departed loved ones. Death is not final. The resurrection of believers who have died will reverse the effects of death. All who have lost loved ones to the sting of death can be comforted in the knowledge that they will see them again. But it is also a source of strength. Jesus promised His disciples, on the night He was arrested, that He would return for them (John 14:1-3).
It is no wonder that Paul told the Thessalonians to comfort themselves with the truth concerning the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:18). The Rapture can impact our life now, in three ways, while we wait for it to happen.
We can live with expectation.
The letter from Paul to Titus puts into words how the expectation of the Rapture should impact our life:
Titus 2:11-14 KJV – “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and pur”
We can live with dedication.
I am told that Robert Murray M’Cheyne, a brilliant young Scottish preacher who died at age 29 in 1843, wore a watch with the words “The Night Cometh” engraved on its face. Every time he checked his watch, he was reminded that time is marching on. We won’t always have time to win souls for Christ or to consecrate our own life for His service. The apostle John exhorted his readers “not to be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). The imminent return of Jesus for His Church is life’s greatest stimulus for living a dedicated life.
We can live with preparation.
Jesus warned that He is “coming quickly” (Revelation 22:12). That means we should live every day as if He were coming that day. But will we be ready? Will we be found with heart and hands dedicated to serving Him at the moment we see Him face to face? Even more important, have we committed ourselves by faith to Christ, so we are assured of being part of His Church that is called into His presence at the Rapture? When the Rapture occurs, there will be no opportunity to decide. Be sure that you have said “Yes” to Christ so that you will be prepared to rejoice at His appearing.

What to know about the Texas wildfires
The wildfire at Smokehouse Creek is only 3% contained and has covered an estimated 1,075,000 acres — making it bigger than Rhode Island — becoming the largest blaze in Texas history, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
The state's fire preparedness level was raised to a three, meaning outside help from other agencies, regions or states may be required to battle the blazes.
Family members identified an 83-year-old grandmother from the town of Stinnett as the only person confirmed killed from the fires to date. Joyce Blankenship, a former substitute teacher, was found dead in her home, family members said.
Wildfires, having moved east from the Texas Panhandle, were spreading in Oklahoma. At least 12 fires were burning in the state, covering more than 115,000 acres.
Conditions ripe for more fires are expected Saturday and Sunday. Heat and high winds — forecast to gust at 20 to 35 mph — will likely cause "critical fire weather conditions again," the National Weather Service in Amarillo said.

As strong winds and dry grass increase the potential for wildfires in the Plains region over the weekend, Texans are advised to use “extreme caution” when partaking in outdoor celebrations that may cause a spark.
That includes fireworks celebrating Texas Independence Day on Saturday. The safest way to enjoy fireworks is by attending a public show hosted by professionals, according to a Texas A&M Forest Service news release.
When setting off personal fireworks, Texans should check for local government burn bans and other restrictions. Only use fireworks in safe areas away from dry grass and bushes, and keep a bucket of water handy.
For those planning to host a barbecue over the weekend, avoid placing the grill near any flammable vegetation or material, and never leave it unattended.
According to the Texas A&M Forest Service, about 90% of wildfires are caused by human-related activities, and holidays pose an increased risk of fire starts.

Fire crews are working hard today to combat the enormous wildfire at Smokehouse Creek, before heightened winds tomorrow and into the weekend threatened to make their jobs much harder, the local forest service has said.
“Fire crews are really taking that into consideration, we really want to take advantage of the weather that we have," Juan Rodriguez, public information officer of Texas A&M Forest Service, told NBC News this morning.
He continued: “So, as of today, crews are going to be working on the southern part of the fires. We’re trying to get a lot of those fire edges really buttoned up today.”
The forest service's forecast puts the risk for the Panhandle at "very high" tomorrow, from its current "high" rating.

These rare winter wildfires come as Texas prepares for an unlikely weather event: historic wildfires met with rain and snow.
The National Weather Service in Amarillo said early today that snow or rain, or a mixture of the two, was due to hit the southwestern Texas Panhandle between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m. local time.
A prediction map from NWS show that snow could fall on the Windy Deuce fire north of Amarillo, which covers more than 140,000 acres and is only 30% contained.
Only half an inch of snow is expected, although the NWS said this could rise to a full inch.

FRITCH, Texas. — The small town of Fritch is again picking through the rubble of a Texas wildfire, a decade after another destructive blaze burned hundreds of homes and left deep scars in the Panhandle community.
Residents in and around Fritch and other rural towns fled for safety Tuesday afternoon as high winds whipped the flames into residential areas and through cattle ranches.
Fritch Mayor Tom Ray said on Wednesday the town’s northern edge was hit by a devastating wildfire in 2014, while this week’s blaze burned mostly to the south of the town, sparing the residents who live in the heart of the community.

"Who Could Be Next": Top Canadian Pension Fund Sells Manhattan Office Tower For $1, Sparking Firesale Panic
by Tyler Durden Thursday, Feb 29, 2024 - 03:40 AM
New York during the inflationary surge of the late 70s and early 80s was a mythical place where one could purchase a Park avenue penthouse for $1 (while assuming the copious debt, of course). Now, thanks to the brutal bear hug of the highest interest rates in 40 years and the ongoing CRE crisis, those legendary days have made a comeback to the Big Apple, if only in the realm of commercial real estate for now.
According to Bloomberg, Canadian pension funds - which until recently had been among the world’s most prolific buyers of real estate, starting a revolution that inspired retirement plans around the globe to emulate them because, in the immortal words of Ben Bernanke, Canadian real estate prices never go down...
... are finally realizing that gravity does exist . And so, the largest one among them is taking steps to limit its exposure to the most-beleaguered commercial property type — office buildings.
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has recently done three deals at deeply discounted prices, selling its interests in a pair of Vancouver towers, and a business park in Southern California, but it was its Manhattan office tower redevelopment project that shocked the industry: the Canadian asset manager sold its stake for just $1. The worry now is that such firesales will set an example for other major investors seeking a way out of the turmoil too, forcing a wholesale crash in the Manhattan real estate market which until now had managed to avoid real price discovery.
Indeed, as Goldman wrote earlier this week, while office vacancy rates are expected to keep rising well into the next decade..
... the average price of many nonviable offices has fallen only 11% to $307/sqft since 2019 (left side of Exhibit 6). The bank goes on to note that in the hardest-hit cities, as many as 14-16% of offices may no longer be viable, and their average transaction prices have already declined by 15-35%. However, because of lack of liquidity in this market, these recent transaction prices have not yet started to reflect the current values of many existing offices. Goldman ominously concludes that "alternative valuation methods, like those that are based on repeat-sales and appraisal values, suggest that actual office values may be far lower than the average transaction price." Well, a $1 dollar price would certainly confirm that actual office values are far, far lower (more in the full Goldman note available to professional subscribers).
And going back to the historic firesale, at the end of last year the Canadian fund sold its 29% stake in Manhattan’s 360 Park Avenue South for $1 to one of its partners, Boston Properties, which also agreed to assume CPPIB’s share of the project’s debt. The investors, along with Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte., bought the 20-story building in 2021 with plans to redevelop it into a modern workspace.
“It’s the opposite of a vote of confidence for office,” said John Kim, an analyst tracking real estate companies for BMO Capital Markets. “My question is, who could be next?”
As office building anxiety has swept the financial world, as the persistence of both remote work and higher borrowing costs undercuts the economic fundamentals that made the properties good investments in the first place, a wave of banks from New York to Tokyo recently conceded that loans they made against offices may never be fully repaid, sending their share prices plunging and prompting fears of a broader credit crunch.
But the real test will be what price office buildings actually trade for - especially once the hundreds of billions of loan backing the properties mature....
.... and until now there have been precious few examples since interest rates started rising. That’s why industry-watchers see such shocking liquidations like CPPIB’s as a very ominous sign for the market.
The Manhattan firesale isn't the pension fund's first sale: last month, CPPIB sold its 45% stake in Santa Monica Business Park, which the fund also owned with Boston Properties, for $38 million. That’s a discount of almost 75% to what CPPIB paid for its share of the property in 2018. The deal came just after the landlords signed a lease with social media company Snap that required they spend additional capital to improve the campus, Boston Properties Chief Executive Officer Owen Thomas said on a conference call.
Peter Ballon, CPPIB’s global head of real estate, declined to comment on the recent deals, but said the fund has continued to invest in office buildings, including a recently completed, 37-story tower in Vancouver.
“Selling is an integral part of our investment process,” Ballon said in an emailed statement. “We exit when the asset has maximized its value and we are able to redeploy proceeds into higher and better returns in other assets, sectors and markets, including office buildings.”
As Bloomberg notes, the pension fund isn’t actively backing away from offices, but it’s not looking to increase its office holdings either. And where a property requires additional investment, CPPIB might simply look to sell so it can put that cash somewhere it can get higher returns instead, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter.
CPPIB’s C$590.8 billion ($436.9 billion) fund is one of the world’s largest pools of capital, and its C$41.4 billion portfolio of real estate — stretching from Stockholm to Bengaluru — includes almost every property type, from warehouses, to life sciences complexes, to apartment blocks.
While that scale would mitigate any potential losses from individual transactions, it also means even a small shift in CPPIB’s office appetite has the power to cause ripple effects in the market.
While the 360 Park liquidation may be shocking, it's just the first of many: with hybrid work schedules set to depress demand for office space in the long term, and higher interest rates increasing the cost of the constant upgrades needed to attract and keep tenants, even the best office buildings may not be able to compete with investment opportunities elsewhere.
“To get even better returns in your office investment you’re going to have to modernize, you’re going to have to put a lot more money into that office,” said Matt Hershey, a partner at real estate capital advisory firm Hodes Weill & Associates. “Sometimes it’s better to just take your losses and reinvest in something that’s going to perform much better.”

‘A War for Our Minds’: Journalists Warn of Vast Propaganda, Censorship Network Unlike Any Before in Human History
February 29, 2024 Guest Post by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
Journalist Lara Logan on Monday told a U.S. Senate roundtable, “We live in the age of information warfare” aided by advanced technology, and “we have never been here, not in all of human history.”
Government, mainstream media and nonprofits are part of a “vast censorship network” that suppresses non-establishment perspectives on COVID-19 and a wide range of other topics, according to participants at Monday’s Senate roundtable discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel.”
The roundtable, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, also focused on vaccine safety and corruption of public health agencies.
Other experts who participated in the roundtable discussed how the news media have become propagandized and warned that media-supported propaganda will lead to a totalitarian society.
‘Vast censorship network’ includes government, nonprofits
Journalist Lara Logan, formerly of CBS News, told the panel of experts, “These are the worst of times for the media in this country” and warned that we are engaged in a “war for our minds.”
“We live in the age of information warfare, where propaganda is not simply a weapon, it is the entire field of battle,” she said. “This is a war for our minds that is aided by advanced technology, and we have never been here, not in all of human history.”
Logan said:
“The media is collaborating with government agencies and operatives to censor and shape the information battlefield to justify certain actions. For example, when the president of the United States threatens the unvaccinated, saying ‘Our patience is wearing thin,’ and accuses them of putting communities at risk, his words are designed to justify hatred, censorship and intimidation.”
According to Logan, a network of nonprofit organizations whose purpose is to stifle free speech is contributing to information warfare:
“For too long we have allowed nonprofit organizations to masquerade as nonpartisan media watchdogs, when in fact they are a little more than highly paid political propagandists and assassins whose entire reason for being is to crush anyone who stands in their way and along with them, the long-held and cherished ideas of free speech, free thinking and free minds.”
These groups “are part of a vast censorship network that includes government agencies,” Logan said. “They use deception to mask their actions with lofty goals like ‘preventing the spread of misinformation, disinformation [and] hate speech.’ They use phrases like ‘protecting democracy.’”
Logan cited “Defeat Disinfo,” a nonprofit that “claims to be a PAC [political action committee]” and was established to target alleged “misinformation” related to COVID-19 and to support Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020.
According to a May 2020 report by The Washington Post, Defeat Disinfo was headed by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who formerly led U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Defeat Disinfo “is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal — to combat online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic,” the Post reported.
“It’s not a secret that these organizations exist,” Logan said, addressing Johnson. “What is not widely known and talked about is that it’s paid for by us. It’s paid for by the taxpayers in your omnibus spending bills that get shoved through the House and the Senate, against the will of the people.”
Logan said these congressional spending bills contain “cutouts for these NGOs,” (nongovernmental organizations) which “launder this money, they pass it from one NGO to the next, and in the name of ‘preventing the spread of disinformation,’ they censor, silence, intimidate and punish.”
Logan called such initiatives “a death sentence for journalists.”
“It’s how you murder a journalist without killing them,” she said. “It’s how you murder a scientist without killing them. It’s how you murder a doctor without killing them. It’s how you murder the vaccine injured when they haven’t died yet.”
She added:
“This is a blood sport for them, their political allies and their puppetmasters. They know how to kill a journalist without murdering them. We call it ‘cancel culture’ … They get away with it because they have information dominance.”
Reporters ‘colluding with their sponsors’ to violate drug advertising laws
Journalist Rodney Palmer had a 20-year career with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), but as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, he increasingly began to question the narrative promoted by the network and other mainstream news outlets.
Palmer participated in the Canadian Freedom Convoy in February 2022.
Speaking at the roundtable, Palmer focused on censorship in television news, which he called “a new super weapon aimed at the citizens of this country.”
Referring to COVID-19 vaccine deaths and injuries, Palmer said, “Censorship is what actually caused these deaths. It was the lie that assured us it was ‘safe’ when it wasn’t … The lie killed them as much as the vaccine because it tricked [people] into taking it.”
Palmer said that this situation is further exacerbated in the U.S., which is one of a small number of countries that allows Big Pharma advertising on television.
“The vaccine companies are allowed to sponsor the news directly,” he said. “It appears that the reporters are actually colluding with their sponsors to break FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] advertising laws. FDA law requires them to conspicuously describe the known risks of any pharmaceutical product.”
Palmer proposed the prohibition of Big Pharma advertising. He said:
“I respectfully recommend that the Senate investigate the role of American television news networks in colluding with pharmaceutical advertisers to skirt the FDA laws that require them to declare the known risks of a pharmaceutical product. This investigation should extend to any reporters, news anchors, editors and executives who lied to their audience about the safety of the COVID vaccines.
“I also recommend investigating the total prohibition of pharmaceutical advertising on television in alignment with almost every country in the world.”
Modern censorship ‘weaponized’ to ‘hijack’ the human mind
Jason Christoff is a self-sabotage coach who produces and hosts “The Psychology of Freedom” podcast. During Monday’s roundtable, he said that “what looks like censorship is the documented hijacking of the subconscious mind pathway.”
This is one of the primary objectives of modern censorship, according to Christoff.
“Humans are proven to copy, mimic, emulate and mirror the most repetitive content of their environment as a way to find safety with the bigger group and to achieve increased security,” Christoff said. Modern censorship targets this human trait.
“Modern censorship isn’t just about hiding the truth or creating spin for one political agenda or another,” he said. “Modern censorship is part and parcel of hijacking the genetic group pressure mechanisms and group affiliation software which all humans hold within each cell in their bodies.”
He added:
“He who controls the environment in which a human resides controls the perceptions, beliefs and behaviors of that human. Modern censorship today is clearly about upregulating disempowering negative content and turning down empowering positive content.
“Today’s censorship is weaponized to define and create an inverted and extremely dark reality inside which no human can ever be happy, healthy or prosperous.”
Responding to Johnson’s question about who is responsible for “pulling the strings on this,” Christoff said he “couldn’t say for sure, but they’re well above government.”
Censorship leading to a ‘fully-fledged totalitarian system’
Mattias Desmet, Ph.D., is a lecturer of psychoanalytic psychotherapy at Ghent University in Belgium, who became widely known for popularizing the phrase “mass formation” to describe the public’s response to COVID-19 restrictions and countermeasures early during the pandemic.
During Monday’s roundtable, he said his focus was not so much on “what they [governments] were hiding” but “how it was possible that so many people refuse to see what they were hiding.”
Desmet cited widely used narratives in 2020 and 2021 that overstated COVID-19 mortality rates “by a factor of 10” and that continued to be employed even after it became evident mortality rates were being inflated.
“The story continued as if the models had been right,” Desmet said. “That, for me, was the moment when I decided to take the perspective of a mass psychologist and to try to show the people what psychological mechanisms could explain how an entire society was in the grip of a narrative which was utterly absurd.”
Desmet said his research led him to conclude that “we were witnessing … the emergence of a fully-fledged totalitarian system in our society” and said its effects on the population were akin to a “hypnotic state.”
He said:
“You need two things for a totalitarian system. On the one hand, you need an elite that excessively and relentlessly uses propaganda to keep control over the population. And then you need a part of the population, 20-30% usually, to go along with that propaganda and to buy fanatically into the narrative.”
“We’ve seen, I think, both components of a totalitarian system in this crisis,” he added.
Desmet said society’s emphasis on “rationalism” rather than ethical principles, which he said is “conveyed by people like [author] Yuval Noah Harari,” has paved the way for transhumanism, technocracy and totalitarianism.
“It always starts from the idea that on the basis of rational knowledge, a new paradise will be created,” he said. “Such rationalism in the end always lapses into radical irrationality, and that’s what we are seeing now.”
‘Appealing to the mob’s fear’ seen as ‘politically beneficial’
Several participants at Monday’s roundtable shared examples of censorship and propaganda that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network, referred to a recent study published in the journal Vaccine, claiming that there were increased risks of several serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, but that these conditions are very rare and the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks.
According to Bigtree, mainstream media jumped on this narrative.
“But what does rare actually mean?” Bigtree asked. Citing the study’s findings, he said this includes a 378% increased risk of brain and spinal cord swelling, a 286% increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome and sixfold increases in myocarditis and pericarditis.
“The question no one in the media seems to be asking is, if each of these potential injuries is rare, is it still rare [when] you add them all together?” Bigtree asked. “Further still, how high is the risk when you multiply all of these risks by five doses of the COVID vaccine? Are we still in the ballpark of ‘rare’?”
Randy Hillier, formerly a member of the provincial parliament of Ontario, said his first-hand experience during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that politicians “knew from extensive daily polling that appealing to the mob’s fear was politically beneficial.”
However, he said that four staffers close to Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford privately confided in him that they “feared the long-term damage would be horrendous to themselves, to their families and the province.” Yet, they rejected his advice to be truthful with the public, claiming that “the truth could not be told.”
Gastroenterologist Dr. Sabine Hazan told the panel that her research on hydroxychloroquine was censored, because “the media created fear.”
“It was impossible to recruit [to clinical trials],” she said, adding that her clinical trial companies were “banned and censored from advertising” on social media.
“It is nearly impossible to publish data that goes against the national public health narrative,” she said. “If doctors cannot publish the data, they cannot find solutions.”
Journalists also were targeted, Logan said. “For almost a decade, I have been targeted and falsely branded and accused of many things that I did not do. They have attacked my work, my character, my sanity, and my marriage, and I am not alone.”
Swiss lawyer Philipp Kruse told the panel the World Health Organization’s (WHO) proposed “pandemic agreement” and amendments to the International Health Regulations will scale up such censorship globally.
According to Kruse, these proposals will grant the WHO “the global supreme authority to define truth and science and to eliminate free speech and free exchange of information under the title of ‘misinformation.’”
Christoff said, “The solution will revolve around each and every citizen taking their own personal power back within their own home, becoming ethical, becoming moral.”
Logan said the same is true for journalists.
“We as journalists should stand together united and regardless of politics,” Logan said. “We should fight for the truth [and] for freedom … We are many and we will not give up and we will not give in to those who wish to censor the idea of free speech.”

Houthis just knocked out underwater cables linking Europe to Asia
Four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been struck out of commission in recent months, presumably as a result of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to an exclusive report in the Israeli news site Globes.
The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia. Most of the immediate harm will be absorbed by the Gulf states and India, Globes said.
The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar. The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India.
The Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India, and is connected to South Africa. Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement, which is not the internationally recognized government of the Arab country but which controls its most populous segments, has been attacking international trade for months, proclaiming solidarity with Palestinians as Israel wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

America’s Critical Underground Water Stores in Rapid Decline, Study
By Michael Taylor 9:06 pm 01/24/2024
Any opinions expressed by authors in this article do not necessarily represent the views of Disswire.com
More than half of America’s underground water sources are rapidly drying up, putting the country’s food system at enormous risk, according to a new study.
Over 50 percent of aquifers in the U.S. are losing water at an unprecedented rate, the research paper revealed on Wednesday in Nature.
According to researchers, the collapse of underground water levels has increased during the 21st century.
The aquifers, which supply most U.S. water systems and are responsible for keeping vast amounts of farmland manageable, are now severely depleted.
The decline is so dire, it even threatens to cause irreversible damage to the American economy.
In states like Kansas, such groundwater loss is so bad that the major aquifer beneath its land can no longer support industrial-scale agriculture. As a result, corn yields have plummeted, a stark warning to America’s status as a ‘food superpower,’ especially if it were to spread through the country.
Meanwhile, in New York State, years of overpumping are now threatening drinking water wells.
Over in Phoenix, the crisis is so severe the state announced there is not enough groundwater to build houses that require aquifers to function as liveable homes.
In parts of Utah, California, and Texas, so much water is being pumped that it’s causing foundations to crack and roads to buckle, while rivers that once relied on groundwater have become dry.
The pace of groundwater depletion in California’s Central Valley was made worse by the drought in 2022, along with heavy agricultural pumping.
The Los Angeles Times reported:
The research shows that chronic declines in groundwater levels, which have plagued the Central Valley for decades, have worsened significantly in recent years, with particularly rapid declines occurring since 2019.
“We have a full-on crisis,” said Jay Famiglietti, a hydrology professor and executive director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Global Institute for Water Security. “California’s groundwater, and groundwater across the southwestern U.S., is disappearing much faster than most people realize.”
Co-author Scott Jasechko of the University of California, Santa Barbara, told The Hill that “groundwater levels are declining rapidly in many areas.”
“And what’s worse, the rate of groundwater decline is accelerating in a large portion of areas,” Jasechko said.
The aquifers don’t just support clean water for many Americans, they also support much of the country’s food system.
However, the problem isn’t just isolated to the U.S.; the impacted water aquifers affect millions of people worldwide.
But despite the alarming findings, researchers said many of the once-declining regions have bucked the trend.
“Long-term groundwater losses,” they wrote, “are neither universal nor inevitable.”
Hydrologists refer to aquifers as “deepening” or “shallowing” to describe how close groundwater is or is further from the surface.
Researchers found the prime culprit to “shallowing” was agriculture, with 70 percent of global withdrawals going toward irrigation. So, the decline in aquifers that support U.S. agriculture and cities is self-explanatory.
“We’re finding that in dry places where a large portion of the land is under cultivation, groundwater level declines are, if anything, accelerating over time,” Jasechko said.
Regions that suffered a decrease in rain in the early 21st century compared with a much wetter late 20th century were likely to see aquifers declining more quickly.
Because less rain is entering the system to fill up the aquifers, farmers are forced to turn to groundwater to make up for what precipitation the surface water can no longer provide.
According to USGS:
“The water stored in the ground can be compared to money kept in a bank account. If you withdraw money at a faster rate than you deposit new money you will eventually start having account-supply problems. Pumping water out of the ground faster than it is replenished over the long term causes similar problems. The volume of groundwater in storage is decreasing in many areas of the United States in response to pumping.”
“Wells are only so deep,” Jasechko said, adding, “They get rendered useless for extracting groundwater.”
Jasechko also notes that when an aquifer deepens into the earth’s surface, structural problems start.
As the ground sags, the structure fails, while creeks and rivers leak into the ground where groundwater levels fall, causing sinkholes.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the U.S., groundwater needs is not managed properly, putting the country at serious risk.

The 6 states facing the most serious groundwater crises
by Saul Elbein - 01/26/24 5:30 AM ET
A heating planet and expanding commercial agriculture are putting increasing pressure on America’s vital aquifers — underground reservoirs that supply water to an estimated 145 million Americans, as well as supporting much of the nation’s food supply.
New research published Tuesday in Nature uncovered rapid and accelerating declines in underground water sources across the world, with some of the fastest and most significant collapses impacting aquifers that supply the American West.
Researchers told The Hill that declines aren’t inevitable, and that they can be reversed — but doing so requires a clear understanding of where the losses are happening, and what is driving them.
Based on the data gathered by the scientists behind the Nature study, here are six states where the collapse of groundwater supplies poses the biggest challenge.
California
The collapse of groundwater reserves beneath California’s Central Valley stands out as particularly severe — even among all the global losses.
The state, which has for years struggled with drought, depends more heavily on its underground water stores than any other in the country: Currently, California accounts for 21 percent of total groundwater usage in the U.S., and draws about 67 percent of its fresh water from its groundwater reserves.
That reliance is taking a toll: Of California’s 183 groundwater basins evaluated by the Nature team, three-quarters are in decline — and for many, that decline is occurring very quickly.
The most significant of the losses are hitting the state’s Central Valley — a result of 25 percent of the nation’s agriculture being concentrated in less than 1 percent of its area, in a region that combines near-desert aboveground conditions with rich reserves of underground water that have accumulated over thousands of years.
Or at least, once-rich reserves.
The Nature team considered groundwater “deepening” — or the dropping of groundwater levels further into the earth — to be rapid when it surpassed 0.5 meters, or 19 inches, per year.
The team found that 15 of California’s basins showed rapid decline — virtually all of which are beneath its Central Valley.
Flourish logoA Flourish map
For five of these, decline was particularly fast: Water levels were dropping at more than a meter a year (36 inches) in the Cuyama Valley, White Wolf Basin, San Pasqual Valley, Chowchilla Basin and Northern Kern Basin.
Of these, the Cuyama Valley — where farms, homes and businesses alike must draw all their water from wells — is experiencing particularly quick losses of 1.45 meters (almost 5 feet) per year.
But all five of these rapidly depleted areas are part of the San Joaquin Valley, which accounts for half of California’s agricultural production.
That connection isn’t a coincidence. Eighty percent of the groundwater California uses goes to agriculture, according to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Both for Central Valley farms and for the rest of California, the state’s reliance on underground water stores poses a particular concern as its other water sources are becoming ever more scarce: The Colorado River, the source of 15 percent of the fresh water California doesn’t get from groundwater, is declining, and a heating planet is pushing the state’s vital snowpack — a kind of water battery that slowly drips water down into the lowlands that would otherwise disappear into flash floods — higher and higher into the mountains.
Texas
While the aquifers beneath Texas don’t face the level of critical collapse that California’s do, the hot, dry Southwestern state is also facing a thirsty century
According to the Nature researchers’ data, 82 percent of Texas’s aquifers are in some form of decline. Of these, one — Lobo Flat, the site of a ghost town that once thrived when the water did — is in rapid decline, losing 0.6 meters (23 inches) per year.
Another, the Edwards-Trinity or High Plains aquifer, is just below that threshold, with annual losses of 0.45 meters (just under 18 inches).
As The Hill reported in 2022, that region has faced the twin onslaughts of drought and a boom in water-hungry dairies — both of which have put added pressure on the already declining aquifers, and stirred fears about agriculture in the Texas High Plains coming to an end.
While the story for most state aquifers is a more protracted decline than punctuated drop-off, in more than a quarter of Texas’s underground basins — 28 percent — groundwater loss is speeding up. Levels in those basins are receding at twice the rate in the 21st century as they did at the end of the 20th.
In some, the decline is accelerating even faster than that.
One example: the Edwards Aquifer, which supplies the expanding subdivisions sprouting up on the old cattle ranches in the hills west of the state capital of Austin — and its old colonial capital of San Antonio.
In the 1990s, that pumping was already taking its toll, with water levels dropping 0.06 meters (2 inches) per year. But in this century it’s expanded threefold to losses of 0.17 meters (about 7 inches) per year — enough that the region’s beloved springs are beginning to go dry.
Idaho
This state has the dubious honor of hosting the fastest collapsing aquifer in the Nature researchers’ dataset: the Mill Creek Aquifer, which is losing 2.17 meters (more than 7 feet) of water per year — a serious concern for the 200,000 people who rely on it for drinking water.
While Mill Creek is the only aquifer in Idaho experiencing rapid decline, levels are falling in 60 percent of the state’s other groundwater stores, and in 11 percent of them that decline has more than doubled since the last century.
As elsewhere, this decline is driven by farming. Despite having a population of less than 2 million, Idaho accounts for 6 percent of the nation’s total groundwater usage, 92 percent of which it puts toward crops and livestock.
Arizona
The driving forces behind Arizona’s water woes are a mix of those causing the losses in California and the Texas High Plains: declines in the Colorado River, which supplies Arizona with more than a third of its water, booming cities and an agriculture industry that is growing thirsty crops such as alfalfa using sparsely regulated groundwater.
With surface water supplies diminishing and rain famously scarce in the desert, 41 percent of Arizona’s water supply comes from wells — and according to the Nature study, 70 percent of these are in decline across the state.
One farming region, the Gila Bend Basin, has become a “top priority” for state water managers due to the precipitous collapse in its aquifer levels, which have fallen nearly 300 feet since the 1990s.
According to the Nature researchers’ data, that basin has seen 1.21 meters (47 inches) of deepening per year — marking the most dramatic decline in any of the state’s basins, but far from the only one.
Another basin, the Ranegras Plain aquifer, is showing deepening rates just a bit under the rate of rapid decline, according to the Nature study.
While state water managers have attempted to create rural water management districts to regulate the pumping of groundwater, so far they haven’t been able to so much as get a committee hearing in Arizona’s conservative Legislature — though they are trying again this week.
Utah
For now, Utah’s big cities can rely on the snowmelt that comes off the Wasatch Front, which looms above the urban corridor that includes Salt Lake City — a metropolis that gets just 10 percent of its water from underground.
But the state as a whole depends on groundwater to meet 60 percent of its water needs — of which 80 percent is consumed by agriculture.
Under pressure from both growing cities and irrigation, 82 percent of Utah’s aquifers are in a state of decline — 11 of them at twice the rate of last century.
Two of these deepening aquifers, the Parowan and Goshen Valley, are declining at either just above or just below the rate the Nature researchers consider rapid.
Coincidentally, neighboring New Mexico has exactly the same share of declining aquifers — 82 percent — though they are not failing at quite the same rate as in Utah.
These declines are concerning because like California, Utah can expect its patterns of precipitation to change as the climate heats up — and while more water may fall from the sky than does currently, a greater share will fall as easily lost rain, rather than the steady, reliable drip of snowpack.
Mississippi
Despite Mississippi’s position beside the enormous river that gives the state its name, groundwater provides its residents with 82 percent of their fresh water.
That level of dependence on underground water is unparalleled in the eastern U.S. And it’s exacerbated by the fact that farmers and cities in neighboring states — from the rice farmers of Arkansas to the city of Memphis, Tenn. — depend on many of the same subterranean reservoirs.
One of these in particular — the Middle Claiborne, which stretches in a vast rounded triangle from Jackson, Miss., to Memphis almost to Little Rock, Ark., but was owned by Mississippi — was the cause of a suit between Mississippi and Memphis that reached the Supreme Court in 2021.
In that case, Mississippi complained that Memphis’s use of the Claiborne water beneath Tennessee was sucking its own resources dry — forcing the high court to determine whether aquifers were governed by the same rules as interstate surface river basins like the Colorado.
It ruled they were, and that the two states must share the water by equitable apportionment. But Mississippi has less and less to share.
According to the Nature researchers’ data, 57 percent of the state’s aquifers are in decline. The part of the Middle Claiborne that lies just outside Jackson, Miss., is dropping by 0.72 meters (28 inches, or a little more than two feet) per year.
That decline is sufficient to make the Jackson region’s artesian wells — those that bubble forth on their own from water pressure beneath — stop flowing entirely, according to 2023 research by one of the Nature study’s co-authors.
As agriculture is the primary driver of this decline, the U.S. Forest Service has proposed one possible solution for the region: turn marginal croplands back into forests.
A 2021 study found that areas with new forests on them lost groundwater at one-eighth the rate of croplands — which Forest Service scientists ascribed to the fact that after the trees were planted, no more groundwater pumping was being pumped to prop up “less productive croplands.”
Honorable mentions
While these states are facing particularly urgent water crises, many of their neighbors are experiencing widespread declines of their own.
In Oklahoma, where more than half of state water comes from underground, 82 percent of aquifers are in decline.
That share of decline is matched by New Mexico, where 7 state aquifers are dropping at more than twice the rate they were in the late 20th century.
And in Kansas, where 71 percent of water comes from groundwater, 65 percent of state aquifers are deepening.

The Potential Collapse of American Society: Are the people in this country oblivious to any reality or truth, or are they simply consumed by ignorance, passivity, cowardice, and mediocrity?
Jack Metir Alternative February 27, 2024
If there’s anything that certain, it’s that nothing is permanent. When we look back through history, we find that many great societies succumbed to societal collapse. Some have been conquered by outside forces, while others have decayed from within. In either case, the society or civilization has ceased to exist as it was once known. To think that the same can’t or won’t happen to us, is to deny one of the most important lessons of history.
The big question for you and I to consider, is whether it will be internal or external forces that ultimately bring about the demise of the Untied States of America. Currently there are no nation-states with a large enough or powerful enough a military to defeat us. Even if Russia and China were to join together to attack us, it is unlikely that they could mount a big enough amphibious force to guarantee success in invading our shores. The two nations together don’t have anywhere near the amphibious capability that was required to invade Europe on D-day, during World War II.
About the only way that a foreign nation could successfully attack the United States and defeat it would be via an attack by high-altitude EMP. That’s a very real possibility, which has been discussed elsewhere; so, I’m not going to bother spending time on it here.
But it may not be necessary for any foreign power to attack the United States, as we may very well tear ourselves apart, without their help. The political divide that is so prevalent in the US today is tearing this country apart, without any other help. The big question now, is whether it will continue or whether we will find some common ground again, where we can continue functioning as a nation.
We were treated to a sample of how this country could be torn apart a couple of years ago with all the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, a fair number of which turned into riots. I have nothing against demonstrations and believe that our First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech includes the right to peacefully protest. But that’s not the same as having a riot, especially a riot that is identified by theft, destruction and arson.
MUST WATCH! THE HUNGER GAME HAS BEGUN: THE ELITE HAVE BEGUN THEIR FULL SCALE EXECUTION AND DECIMATION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS! FAMINE OF GODS WORD IN AMERICAS PULPITS ,WILL LEAD TO LITERAL FAMINE AND STARVATION IN THE U.S.A
Unfortunately, we have those in the political system who see it as their duty to use their position to encourage unstable people in their following to engage in these sorts of activities. Not only that, but they are protecting those followers from paying the price for their crimes, while at the same time calling the January 6th incursion in the Capital building an “insurrection,” even though it was unarmed and the only person who was killed was a veteran woman, shot by the police. Justice in this country, at least when it is connected to politics, has become a two-tiered system, with the enforcement of the law being based on one’s political affiliation.
With that being the case, there are more and more people saying that we are headed towards another civil war. Should that war break out, it will be much nastier than the previous one, simply because the battle lines won’t be as obvious. Rather than the north verses the south, it will be the political left verses the political right and while there is some territorial division between the two, it isn’t as clear as it was in the last Civil War.
That lack of clearcut battle lines is what’s going to cause the biggest problem with the next civil war. Battles will break out in random places, as the opposing sides bump up against each other. Little of it will be cohesive warfare, fought by organized troops. Rather, it will be more on the order of ongoing riots, like what we saw with Black Lives Matter.
Should such a war start, it will not only take many lives, but destroy American society as we know it today. Law and order would be largely out the window, not only from the fighting, but from bureaucrats who try and use their position to further the cause of their side. We can pretty much forget about being able to count on the government for anything.
When Might This Happen?
The truth of the matter is that we have no way of knowing when such a breakdown might happen. From what we’ve seen in the last several years, there are plenty of people on both sides of the political divide who are more than ready to turn to violence when things don’t go their party’s way. While almost all of the rioting that has happened can be attributed to one side of that divide, most of the guns belong to the other.
One likely scenario is for the riot side to start tearing things up, due to something happening in the country which they don’t believe in. Interestingly enough, they only seem to do that in cities which are controlled by politicians who are agreeable to their cause. You don’t find such riots happening in cities where law-and-order politicians are in control, because they know that the price of their rioting will be a trip to jail.
If you don’t believe me, just look at what happened in Washington, DC on January 6th and the Congressional hearings that followed. The DC city government is in the hands of Democrats, as was Congress at that time. So the same politicians who winked at the riots which sprung out of the Black Lives Matter protests, were quick to arrest those who unlawfully entered the capital, calling it an “insurrection,” and spreading stories about how dangerous it was for Congress, even though none of those who entered the capital were apparently armed.
If there’s anything in this country which could lead to mass rioting it would be former President Trump winning the 2024 general elections. There is so much hatred focused against Trump in our country today, that there’s a good chance of his winning being all that is needed to cause widespread rioting. Considering how the hate towards him continued through his presidency, I doubt that there’s much anyone can do to keep almost constant protests and rioting from happening during his second term in office.
What Should We Do?
I think it’s necessary to say that it’s not our job to keep the peace or defend our country from those who would destroy it. As tempting as it might be to get directly involved, doing so carries a lot of risk. Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? He eventually won in court, since he didn’t break any laws and only shot in what can very clearly be seen as self-defense. But it could very easily have gone the other way. The mainstream media attempted to try him in the court of public opinion and had declared him guilty even before the bodies could cool. That attempt has cost those news outlets plenty, settling with Kyle for their underhanded attempts at character assassination.
On the other hand, we all have a God-given right to defend home and family. So, regardless of where you live, you need to be ready to do just that. If you happen to live nearby potential targets areas for rioting, either due to the political leadership there or the potential targets for the rioters to go after, you want to be doubly sure that you’re ready to defend your home.
Even with being prepared, the best protection you can possibly have isn’t standing there with guns locked and cocked, it’s not letting the rioters know that you are there. If they don’t know you’re there, they’re much more likely to leave you alone.
That means being able to lock yourself in your home and not come out until the riots are over. More than that, you need to be able to make it look as if nobody is home. That requires things like blackout curtains over the windows and noise discipline to keep them from hearing your television and your kids. At the same time, you don’t want to leave anything outside where they can steal it. Even your cars should be in the garage or hidden away behind the fence, in your backyard.
It’s hard to say just how long you need to be prepared to stay hidden away like that; but figure on a couple of weeks. If there’s one thing that can be said for any mob, it’s that they lose interest just about as fast as they come together to destroy. It’s unlikely that any riot will last more than a couple of days; but as I said, be ready for a couple of weeks.
In this short VIDEO, I will unearth A lost super-food will bulletproof you against any food shortage or famine. It’s a food that vanished with the Incas over 6 centuries ago
In the next crisis these lost skills will be more valuable than gold, food supplies and survival equipment combined. These skills have been tested and proven to work for centuries.
The other thing we have to realize is that it may take months for any sort of true stability to be reestablished. If the rioting starts because of Donald Trump being elected as president, then it might very well continue throughout his term in office. That will make for a very long four years for anyone living in cities controlled by his political opposition. It’s really hard to estimate just how big the price tag will be on the destruction that is wrought by those who are enraged by his success.

Macron: "Russia Will Attack 10 More Countries" -- Slovakia PM: "Zero Talk of Peace at NATO Meeting"
World Hal Turner 27 February 2024 Hits: 2819
French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly claimed Russia will attack ten more countries unless stopped in Ukraine. He said this at a conference where the Prime Minister of Slovakia revealed there is "Zero talk of peace" at the NATO Conference.
Here is video of Macron making the claim himself:
Macron went on to say that several NATO countries have chosen to INDIVIDUALLY sign "Security Agreements" with Ukraine, and then he dropped a rhetorical bombshell by announcing some NATO countries may choose send their own troops into Ukraine to join the fight.
The implications of such a move are staggering, and the reactions from Russia are just as staggering.
The possible decision to send ground troops to Ukraine by NATO countries could be interpreted as the alliance’s direct participation in hostilities and even as a declaration of war, Konstantin Kosachev, the deputy speaker of the Federation Council, said following the statement by French President Emmanuel Macron, who stated after a meeting of European leaders in Paris that such a scenario had been discussed, but the participants failed to reach a consensus.
"This is a point where not just NATO's participation in the war begins (it started a long time ago), but can be interpreted as the alliance’s direct involvement in hostilities, or even as a declaration of war," Kosachev said on his Telegram channel.
He described the French leader's logic as dangerous: those who deny the possibility of sending Western ground troops to the conflict zone today once denied the possibility of supplying tanks, airplanes and long-range missiles.
"This logic is not just faulty, but dangerous and fraught with a catastrophic scenario. Which, as we can see ever more often, some Western leaders absolutely do not understand. The tactic of "slowly boiling a frog" by no means "persuades" Russia that it can accept anything, provided it is done gradually," Kosachev said.
He pointed out that competent Western experts knew perfectly well in the past that there was a limit to patience or a so-called red line.
"This is exactly what happened with the expansion of NATO and the beginning of the special military operation, which became simply inevitable at a certain stage. At some point NATO thought that since the Baltic countries were in NATO, Moscow would agree to Ukraine’s role of "Anti-Russia" quite calmly. Russia refused to reconcile itself with the gradual increase of threats to its security and did its utmost to express its position to the Western countries and offer real agreements on the security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic. They turned a deaf ear to this and preferred to ‘boil the frog.’ The same will happen should NATO intervention occur in Ukraine," Kosachev said.
Macron told a news conference following a meeting of the European leaders that there was no consensus on officially sending ground troops to Ukraine today, but he did not rule out such a possibility in the future. He added that Western countries "intend to do whatever is necessary to prevent Russia" from gaining the upper hand in the conflict.
KREMLIN: "Would Make Direct War Inevitable"
The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led NATO military alliance would be inevitable if European members of NATO sent troops to fight in Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine has triggered the worst crisis in Russia's relations with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and President Vladimir Putin has previously warned of the dangers of a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia.
"The very fact of discussing the possibility of sending certain contingents to Ukraine from NATO countries is a very important new element," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about Macron's remarks.
Asked by reporters about the risks if NATO members sent their troops to fight in Ukraine, Peskov said:
"In that case, we would need to talk not about the probability, but about the inevitability (of a direct conflict)."
Peskov said that the West should ask themselves if such a scenario was in the interests of their countries and their peoples.
Even talk of a confrontation between Russia and NATO - a Cold War nightmare of leaders and populations alike - indicates the dangers of escalation as the West grapples with a resurgent Russia 32 years after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union.

Insurance Industry’s Actuarial Data Reveals
True Scope Of Exploding Public Health
Disaster Caused By Covid ‘Vaccines’
Editor’s Note: Decades prior to serving as one of the editors of State of the Nation, I was a both a Personal Financial Planner and Business Financial Consultant. During the estate planning aspects of servicing my clients needs I was involved with all the different types of insurance products and services. My father was a Chartered Financial Consultant and a crackerjack insurance broker, so I learned that business early on from him before joining his firm. The key point here is that I became acutely aware of the industry fact that “actuarial data” is taken very seriously or else the company can go bust.
So, when SOTN received the following submission, we knew just how serious a situation we were facing in the aftermath of the implementation of the Covid Super Vaccination Agenda. For the hard actuarial data does not lie. Yes, it can somehow be suppressed; but eventually talk of the unheard of “12-SIGMA EVENT” will leak out and eventually cause a sea change insurance industry-wide…which will then ripple through the Reinsurance Industry, and then through the entire Financial Services Industry.
In light of the early information published by VAERS concerning the Covid vaccine-induced deaths and injuries nationwide, it was clear from the outset that the U.S. military deployment of the weaponized Covid injections was a premeditated genocide of the American people. However, the much greater manmade tragedy here concerns the countless vax-induced medical ailments and health conditions which have been reported by VAERS. In point of fact , it has been proven that even the VAERS statistics only account for 1% to 10% of the actual deaths and vaccine injuries caused by the Covid shots.
In short, we have no idea just how big this thing yet. For not only was OPERATION WARP SPEED rolled out as a full-blown depopulation scheme, it was also designed to irreversibly debilitate and incapacitate as many ‘vaccine’ victims as possible. What this really does is that it ties up the great majority of US citizens so that they have no time or energy to hold their murderous government accountable. Likewise, all the institutional co-conspirators such as Big Pharma, Big Medical, Big Media, Big Tech, etc. skate… should the perps be successful in effectively covering up this highly organized and long-planned criminal conspiracy to commit mass murder.
N.B. The well stated points made below are very important for everyone to be aware of, so please disseminate this post far and wide—thank you.
The Ongoing Carnage From the Covid Injections
Submitted by an Insurance Industry Retiree
We are now a few months into year four since the Covid injections were rolled out in December 2020. There is now insurmountable evidence that the injections are not vaccines; they are an experiment in gene therapy that turns the human body into spike protein-producing factories, and these proteins accumulate and attack every organ in our bodies.
As I write in February, 2024, hardly a day goes by without more damning information being revealed about the tragic consequences of these injections. The evidence can be found everywhere, except of course in the controlled mainstream media which continues pushing this fraudulent narrative; but cracks in the MSM narrative are now everywhere, and the truth is slowly but surely coming to light.
I spent thirty-two years of my forty-five year career in the insurance and reinsurance industries, the last 19 years with one of the two largest reinsurance companies in the world. I was an underwriter, not an actuary, but I worked with actuaries every day, and the main point of this article concerns actuarial data confirming the devastating effects of the Covid injections on the global population. But before I get to that data, I want to share the most recent information about the catastrophic impact of these so-called vaccines.
In just the first few weeks of February, numerous oncologists have revealed a new epidemic of rapidly metastasizing cancers that have exploded across the population, particularly among younger people. This has never been seen before.
Renowned Canadian oncologist and radiologist Dr. William Makis, who has diagnosed 20,000 cancer cases of all kinds during his career, recently stated on camera at The People’s Voice, that he and his colleagues feel like “kindergartners” trying to explain what they are seeing. He reports many of these “turbo cancers”, as some have begun calling them, metastasize so rapidly that patients often die within days of diagnosis. He further reports that many of these new cases present at stage 4 at initial diagnosis, which he has also never seen before. Makis believes the Covid injections are the proximate cause of this explosion in cancer cases.
According to Makis, the pressure for Canadian doctors to get the Covid injections was so overwhelming that more than 99% complied. Within months of the injection campaign, Canadian doctors began dying, many at very young ages in their twenties and thirties. Many died shortly after being injected, and virtually all deaths occurred within a year of receiving the injections.
Some of the most disturbing data has been reported by the US Group Life Insurance Industry. On 1/1/2022, a little over a year after the December, 2020 rollout of the Covid injections, the CEO of OneAmerica Life Insurance, Scott Davidson reported startling financial results. He reported death claims increased by 40% in the previous two quarters for policyholders in the company’s group life division. This group of insureds is covered by group policies issued to corporations, and consist of what has historically been the healthiest population segment of 18-64 year olds.
Quoting Davidson:
“Just to give an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a
one-in-200 year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over
pre-pandemic, so 40% is just unheard of”.
Extrapolating from the numbers Davidson provided, if a 10% increase represents a three-sigma, or a one in 200 year event, a 40% increase represents a twelve-sigma, or a one in 800 year event. Nothing like this has ever been witnessed in the history of actuarial science But perhaps his most disturbing statement is that “most of the claims for deaths are not classified as COVID-19 deaths”, but from a myriad of other causes. Myocarditis has been the most widely publicized cause of death among the vaccinated. The UK-based website expose-news.com published a report on February 10th titled ‘Shocking CDC Report – Autoimmune Heart Disease Skyrockets Post-Covid Vaccination’. The report states that the risk of suffering myocarditis following mRNA vaccination is around 133x, which means that COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of suffering myocarditis by 13,000 percent.
If the Covid injections were safe and effective as advertised, one would expect to have seen the number of deaths level off, then decrease from pre-pandemic levels, but the opposite has happened. This has literally blown up the actuarial tables of the life insurance industry. The findings of this study are corroborated by Ed Dowd’s important book: Cause Unknown — The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.
The numbers Davidson reported are now a little over two years old, so the recent explosion in cancer deaths is not included in the numbers. At this point there is no telling how much worse the actuarial data will get as this new wave of cancer deaths become known.
I expect the life insurance industry will be under intense pressure to suppress this information, but financial results speak for themselves, so it’s just a matter of time until this worsening picture is revealed. The criminal Pfizer organization has already positioned themselves to profit from this coming wave of cancer deaths caused by their mRNA injections, having completed a $43 billion acquisition of Seagen in December of last year, thereby doubling their oncology pipeline. This is yet another case of problem-reaction-solution at work.
In conclusion, I would like to share a post from Rense.com from February 14th.
A Final Warning From The Late Dr. Luc Montaignier
Contrary to what was said at the beginning, these vaccines do not protect at all, and this is slowly emerging. This is scientifically recognized by all today. It is not only scientific experiments that say it, but also all patients on whom the effects have been analyzed to prove it. Instead, to protect as it was said, it can even promote other infections.
The protein that was used in vaccines for this virus is actually toxic, it is a poison. The vaccine was not born to kill, but to protect and there have been many deaths, even young sportsmen who have important problems, due to this vaccine. It is an absolute crime to give these vaccines to children today.
“Let’s stop mass vaccination
” It can also cause very serious nerve diseases in the brain. Due to the long-term effects of this vaccine, there are a lot of people who are dying. Neurological disorders can also occur from the first dose, and not only from the second. Even today, no one can predict how many of these people who have been vaccinated now will have major neurological problems in the future.
I ask all my colleagues to absolutely stop vaccinating with this type of vaccine. Doctors today are perfectly informed of what I am saying, and therefore they should intervene immediately because the future of humanity is at stake. Many countries have forgotten about treatments, there is not only the vaccine, there are drugs that have not been used and that work very well, such as antibiotics.
“The unvaccinated will save humanity.” It depends on you, especially on the unvaccinated, who will be able to save humanity one day. Only the unvaccinated will be able to save the vaccinated. Vaccinated who will, in any case, contact the medical centers to be saved. We must avoid listening and giving a voice to those who do not have the right to do so and let science speak. I repeat: it is the unvaccinated who will be able to save humanity.
May God deliver us from this most egregious crime against humanity in world history.

Violent riots erupt at UC Berkeley over Israeli speaker
Pro-Palestinian activists surround the venue, banging on the doors, spitting on students and breaking windows, which led to physical confrontations; 'I'm just scared to death to be an Israeli or Jewish student at Berkeley now'
Daniel Edelson, New York|13:30
Violent riots erupted Monday night on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley after attorney Ran Bar-Yoshafat, deputy director of the Kohelet Policy Forum, arrived on campus after being invited by Jewish organizations on campus to speak to students about Israel advocacy during the war.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian activists who heard about the event, titled "Israel at War: Combat the Lies," gathered outside the Zellerbach Playhouse event hall and tried to prevent students from entering. They shouted "global intifada," spit on the students, banged on the doors and broke windows, which then led to physical confrontations.
"They grabbed me by the neck and pushed me against the wall. A student shouted at me 'dirty Jewess' and spat at me. It was pure antisemitism," said one Jewish student. An Israeli student said that they heard chants of "global intifada" all over campus. "I'm just scared to death to be an Israeli or Jewish student at Berkeley now," the student said.
Police forces were called to the scene to separate the Jewish students and the protesters. Police estimated that there were between 100 and 250 protesters throughout the evening.
The Berkeley Hillel Jewish Student Center on campus called on students who feel distressed following the event to contact them for emotional support.
"We are saddened and horrified that an event with Israeli speaker Ron Bar-Yoshafat was shut down by protesters on the evening of February 26, 2024, at Zellerbach Playhouse. Breaking windows, intimidating students, and inciting a mob are never acceptable and have no place in civil discourse. We are proud of the students who organized the event and remained steadfast in the face of bullying and intimidation of Jewish and Israeli students. Berkeley Hillel remains committed every day to supporting Jewish students' ability to fully express their Jewish identity without fear," Hillel said in a statement.
"We appreciate the UC Berkeley's administration and UCPD who were present and attempted to maintain order and see that the event could take place, even though they were unsuccessful. We support the university in holding these disruptors accountable for their actions and destruction of university property," the statement also said.
Idan Harel, 36, Bay Area regional manager of the Club Z organization that invited Bar-Yoshafat, emphasizes that the speaker's identity was not the trigger for the riots.
"In the past we also brought speakers from the Israeli left and there were also calls against it then. It's irrelevant. We are in the most antisemitic area in the United States, we need to understand that. Today it is dangerous to be a Jew here on campus. A student who was attacked is in intensive care. They spat on us. And students who stayed on campus have to deal with it every day. But we will not be silenced," Harel said.
"It feels like Germany in the 1930s here, there is silence from the authorities and they don't try to make us feel safe," he added. "I personally requested that there be increased policing at the event because I knew what awaited us, but I was ignored. Miraculously, more serious injuries were avoided. They came with clubs and sticks and were very violent. What will happen next?"
Bar-Yoshafat served for several weeks in Gaza in an IDF special forces unit following the Hamas massacre on October 7.
Israel's deputy consul general in San Francisco, Matan Zamir, said in response to the riots that "the consulate takes seriously the incident that occurred yesterday evening at the University of Berkeley. This event is the latest in a series of similar events on campuses across the U.S., which reflect a sharp and dangerous increase in the threat to the safety and security of Jewish and Israeli students, just because of their identity and their opinions. In a country that sanctifies freedom of expression and at a prestigious university that sanctifies academic freedom, a situation where violent and angry crowds is an impossible one meant dictate the policy on campus, as happened last night. The consulate is in contact with the organizers of the event and the campus authorities and continues, as in the past, to demand from the law enforcement authorities at Berkeley to quickly identify and punish all those involved in the incident, both on the criminal and the disciplinary level."
The university has not yet responded to a request for comment.

24,000 US Army positions cut amid recruitment woes
The United States Army is reducing the size of its force by roughly 24,000 troops as the military service continues to struggle to meet recruitment goals.
According to a new document on the structural transformation of the U.S. Army, the decrease in the size of military service is intended to position the Army to be better equipped to fight future wars. While the document outlined multiple ways the Army is planning to invest in a restructuring of the force, it claimed that force reductions were necessary.
“While making these investments and adding formations, the Army must also reduce force structure to protect readiness in light of decreased end strength,” the Army stated. “The Army is currently significantly over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and organizations.”
Fox News reported that a considerable portion of the jobs that will be eliminated by the Army were counter-insurgency positions that increased during the Iraq War and Afghanistan War. The Army noted that most of the positions are already empty and that the Army “is not asking current soldiers to leave.”
The Army added, “As the Army builds back end strength over the next few years, most installations will likely see an increase in the number of soldiers actually stationed there.”

The Army’s plan includes the reduction of approximately 10,000 positions connected with counter-insurgency operations, 2,700 positions from units that are not regularly deployed, and 6,500 additional posts and training positions. Additionally, roughly 10,000 positions from cavalry squadrons, security force assistance brigades, infantry brigade combat teams, and Stryker brigade combat teams will be cut.
On the other hand, the Army’s plan also announced the addition of 7,500 troops for critical operations, such as counter-drone units, air-defense units, and five new task forces.
The Army’s plan to reduce the size of its military force comes amid persistent recruitment challenges that have resulted in the Army missing its recruitment goals over the past two years.
The Department of Defense previously reported that the Army, Navy, and Air Force fell short of their recruitment goals for Fiscal Year 2023, which ended in September. While the Army gained over 50,000 recruits, it was well short of its goal of 65,000 new recruits. According to The Associated Press, the Army also missed its Fiscal Year 2022 recruitment goal by roughly 15,000 troops.
The Army announced that while the current structure of the military service is designed to have 494,000 soldiers, the total number of active-duty soldiers is currently 445,000. Based on the restructuring plan, the Army is striving to achieve a goal of 470,000 active-duty troops by Fiscal Year 2029.

JUST IN: Google loses $70 BILLION in market value after Gemini AI exposed as woke
"We have taken the feature offline while we fix that. We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks," Hassabis said.
Google parent company Alphabet lost over $70 billion in market value, with stock prices falling as much as 4.4 percent on Monday following the pause on Google Gemini’s AI image creator and posts surfaced of Gemini’s responses in the chat feature.
According to Bloomberg, Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes warned in a research note that problems that have arisen with Gemini may fuel the perception that Google is "an unreliable source for AI," as many companies try to launch their own AI platforms.
"We have been arguing that Search behavior is about to change - with new AI-infused features," said Reitzes. "This ‘once in a generation’ change by itself creates opportunities for competitors, but even more if a meaningful portion of users grow concerned about Google’s hallucinations and bias."
The plunge came as Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said on Monday that Gemini’s image generating feature would be offline for a "few weeks" to address issues raised, according to the New York Post.
“We have taken the feature offline while we fix that. We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks,” Hassabis said.
Images generated by the feature included a female pope, a black George Washington, and other racially diverse recreations of historic figures.
During his appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Hassabis said that the feature was "not working in the way we intended."
Gemini’s chat feature has also refused to say that pedophilia is wrong but had no trouble condemning the use of the n-word. It also could not define what a woman is.
Gemini has also refused to give a straightforward answer when asked whether popular conservative figures were better or worse than dictators of the past such as Hitler and Stalin.

Precision strikes on Iranian, Hezbollah assets in Syria send stark warning to Tehran
In 2024 alone, 35 members from Hezbollah, IRGC and pro-Iran militias eliminated in Israel-linked strikes on Syrian soil; IDF also found two stone structures within Israeli borders near Syria
Lior Ben Ari, Yair Kraus|Yesterday | 17:35
Hezbollah reported Sunday two fatalities from its ranks in an airstrike on the Lebanon-Syria border attributed to Israel. Shortly before, sources in Damascus attributed to Israel another attack in the Homs region near the border between Syria and its neighbor, where the heart of the Shiite terrorist organization is located.
Since the outbreak of the war, Hezbollah's activity in the territory under the control of Bashar al-Assad's regime has repeatedly been exposed, but Iranian elements and pro-Iranian militias loyal to the "Axis of Resistance" also operate in the area and enjoy the support of the Tehran regime.
Hassan Nasrallah's organization did not link in its official statements between the deaths of its two operatives and the attack in the area straddling the Syria-Lebanon border. However, the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights, a London-based opposition war monitor, linked all the details that were published. A photo documenting a truck engulfed in flames after the airstrike attributed to Israel was circulated on social media.
Hezbollah operatives are scattered along the southern border of Lebanon as well as in areas bordering Syria. They reside in villages near the border fence and operate when necessary. The presence of Hezbollah in the Al-Biqa'a district in Lebanon, which borders Syria, may provide convenient access to the neighboring country for activities such as arms smuggling and training.
Attack attributed to Israel in Syria
Numerous pro-Iranian militias operate in Syrian territory, some of which have been involved in attacks on U.S. military bases in recent months. According to recent reports on Sky News in Arabic, Hezbollah uses its operations in Syria through military units of the local army and relies on civilian houses in the Sayyidah Zaynab area to establish temporary headquarters that vary from time to time.
According to data from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Israel has carried out 16 attacks in Syria since the beginning of the year, with 10 being aerial and six ground-based. These attacks reportedly damaged or destroyed 34 targets, including key weapon depots and ammunition caches.
Additionally, the opposition watchdog reported that since the beginning of 2024, 35 operatives from various organizations have been killed in Syrian territory: eight of them affiliated with Hezbollah, seven Iranians linked to the Revolutionary Guards and the rest associated with pro-Iranian militias.
The Lebanon-Syria border has made headlines in recent days not only regarding assassinations. According to Arab reports, the Syrian government sent an official memorandum to the Lebanese government regarding surveillance towers spread between the two countries. Syria claims that these towers, erected by the British for the Lebanese army, pose a threat to its national security.
According to Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al Akhbar, Damascus alleges that the towers contain intelligence and reconnaissance equipment that could aid in gathering information about Syrian affairs. Damascus indicates that the information collected from these towers reaches not only Britain but also Israel, which, according to them, the IDF uses to conduct operations within Syrian territory. The official memorandum also criticizes the presence of British officers in the towers during a period when London played a negative role vis-à-vis Damascus.
The allegations from Syria were not made in a vacuum. Over the weekend, Al Akhbar reported that discussions are underway regarding the construction of additional towers that will strengthen control in additional areas along the Lebanon-Syria border, extending toward the border area with Israel in the Golan Heights. Earlier this month, a Hezbollah official said that similar towers are also planned for the southern Lebanon-Israel border.
According to the weekend report in the Lebanese newspaper, the surveillance towers will be erected five kilometers deep into Lebanon and five kilometers deep into Israel. Additionally, the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper noted that Israel is unlikely to agree to such a move. Conversely, Western diplomatic sources indicated over the weekend that Israel mocked the proposal.
Beirut has yet to issue an official response to Syria's allegations regarding the letter against the tower activity on the Lebanese border. However, Saudi newspaper Asharq Al Awsat reported on Saturday that the response would include clarification that the towers, which have been operational for over 10 years under Lebanese army management, are not affiliated with any foreign country and greatly assist in reducing smuggling.
Meanwhile, the IDF continues to monitor activities near the Israeli border. In recent weeks, two stone structures were built in Israeli territory in the rugged terrain near the Syrian border. These structures were used for covert observation and surveillance purposes toward Israel.
On Friday morning, forces from the 474th Brigade demolished the structures near Tel Faher in the southern Golan Heights, mere yards from the border fence. This action addressed a clear breach of the border, following close surveillance of infiltrators who crossed the international demarcation line, knowingly entering the country's territory.
"We identified in recent weeks that they were under construction, monitored the building process, gathered all the information and decided not to allow the continuation of this activity once their construction was completed," recounted Major (res.) Nadav, a commander in the 474th Brigade, to Ynet.
"On Friday morning, we breached the fence and detonated both structures with explosives, then left the area. At dawn, we demolished both structures. It's undoubtedly a nefarious act, and any approach of shepherds or civilians to the fence is likely part of a collaboration in the area. These weren't buildings meant for occupancy, but rather structures that could serve the other side for residence and military purposes."
Since the outbreak of the war, the IDF has identified attempts to establish and create a terror front along the Syrian border by organizations dispatched to the Syrian sector, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and beyond. Their presence is closely monitored, and military forces study and investigate their activities.

Leftists Propagandize A 'Christian Nationalist' Scare
Hollywood director Rob Reiner's new documentary, "God & Country," released in theaters this weekend, warning Americans of an impending "Christian nationalist" takeover of the country. The Associated Press declared Saturday, "Many believe the founders wanted a Christian America. Some want the government to declare one now." On Tuesday Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla warned in Politico, "Trump allies prepare to infuse 'Christian nationalism' in second administration."
Such manufactures represent "a coordinated effort" to stoke fear before the 2024 elections, declared Family Research Council Action President Jody Hice, guest host of "Washington Watch" on Wednesday. Their purpose is not just "to rally the Left but, probably even more so ... to intimidate and silence Christians who embrace a biblical worldview," he said.
The purpose of this yellow journalism is more concerning than its aim. The Left's "definition of Christian nationalism ... tends to be a coat that is cut to fit whatever it needs to fit at any given time," Regent University professor Dr. A.J. Nolte said on "Washington Watch." As with donkeys and tails, it gets harder to pin the scare on the elephant after you've been blindfolded and spun in circles.
Some leftist definitions of "Christian nationalism" have little in common with Christianity. Take Reiner's perspective, "The idea is that America was a born as a white Christian nation, and these people are virulent about returning to that, and they'll do it at any means necessary, including ... violence. And we saw this happen on January 6th."
Most Christians would have difficulty recognizing themselves in this description. For starters, Christianity knows no ethnic barriers (Revelation 7:9), Christians are commanded to submit to the government (Romans 13:1), and violence disqualifies a man from Christian leadership (1 Timothy 3:3).
Reiner's definition wasn't particularly concerned with scriptural accuracy, as the entire documentary really served as a "Trojan horse for progressive ideology," wrote Southern Seminary professor Andrew Walker. His documentary painted institutions as disparate as The Heritage Foundation, Turning Point USA, and Hillsdale College with the same, broad brush, even though the first two aren't sectarian, and the third isn't political. Reiner "gives the game away when he talks about 'white' Christian nationalism," Nolte noted, a mistaken "conflation of white ethnic nationalism with Christian nationalism."
Some leftist definitions simply equate "Christian nationalism" with social conservatism. Nolte described a book titled, "'Taking America Back for God,' by two scholars named Perry and Whitehead." In the book, "They took six questions, which are generally good questions if you're trying to measure social conservatism," and used them as "measures for Christian nationalism."
These measures included support for prayer in schools, opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage, and an acknowledgement of Christian principles in America's founding. "So, what you often find is that Christian nationalism is basically just ... social conservatism, sort of relabeled," Nolte concluded.
This definition becomes increasingly unrealistic as left-wing extremism puts more and more Americans on the "Right" side of social and cultural policy disputes, particularly where transgender ideology is at play. The coalition opposed to pornographic books in school libraries, for instance, includes not just Christians, but also Jews like Ben Shapiro, Muslims like the parents in Dearborn, Mich. or Montgomery County, Md., and agnostics like Jordan Peterson. The term "Christian nationalism" approaches meaninglessness when used to describe people who are not Christians and might not even be nationalists.
Some leftist definitions of "Christian nationalism" combine biblical positions with non-biblical ones. Thus, Przybyla (co-author of the Politico piece mentioned above) stated Tuesday, "We're talking about here not just isolationism, immigration. We're talking about ending same-sex marriage, abortion, reducing access to contraceptives, but also surrogacy, no fault divorce, sex education in public schools."
But not so fast! Those are "two separate issue sets," Nolte pointed out. Opposition to immigration and an isolationist foreign policy are the preferred policies of a populist segment of the contemporary American Right, but they shouldn't be lumped together with what Nolte called "family-oriented, social conservative policies."
Even if both sets of positions are found on the political Right, they are espoused by "two separate groups of social conservatives," Nolte explained. Again quoting Perry and Whitehead, Nolte said that, "Among regular church attenders, they actually found less hostility toward those of different racial groups, toward immigrants ... but there was more opposition to same-sex marriage, abortion," while "among those who were socially conservative but did not attend church, what they found was the exact opposite."
At the risk of committing an overgeneralization, one might say there was an inverse relationship between the depth of a person's Christian walk and their espousal of "nationalist policies." Does that sound like "Christian nationalism?"
Some leftist definitions of "Christian nationalism" simply mean that it's bad for Christians to be involved in politics. For instance, "They're all after Speaker Mike Johnson for his Christian faith," said Hice. "He's a Christian statesman who is certainly influenced and guided by his faith," but "that's no different from the liberal Left being guided by their secular, or whatever, worldview that they embrace."
"This really galls the Left, that Mike Johnson has the unmitigated temerity to be a fairly conventional Southern Baptist," Nolte agreed, with a touch of sarcasm. "Yes, he's quite conservative on family issues. ... But, as a conventional Baptist, he also stands with an over 200-year tradition of Baptists supporting religious liberty." (Make that nearly 400 years in America since Baptist minister Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island as a haven for freedom of conscience.) The point is, "If somebody is truly committed to religious liberty, you never have to worry about them imposing Christianity," Nolte argued. "They want to protect your freedom to believe or not believe as you choose."
Yet no leftist definitions of "Christian nationalism" acknowledge its presence on the political Left. Follow along, if you will, with this thought experiment Nolte set forth:
"Imagine a situation in which a Republican president goes to a church -- a church that has been prominently associated with a Republican politics in the past -- on a federal holiday, and gives a speech where he talks about how New Testament principles ought to be the basis of our politics here in America. Would the media label that as Christian nationalism, do you think?"
Over Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend in 2023, President Joe Biden spoke from that man's one-time pulpit in Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, declaring that certain passages of the New Testament described "the essence of the American promise" and inspired his vision to "redeem the soul of America." Yet, according to the propagandists now loudly decrying Christian nationalism, "that, somehow, was not considered Christian nationalism," Nolte observed. So, when defining the term, "it kind of depends on who is using the New Testament and whether the media outlets in question like the use to which the New Testament is being put."
Nolte suggested the entire project was political. His dissertation had examined how secularists in Turkey, France, and other countries have used "extreme fear language" about "religious reactionaries" to "mobilize constituencies that supported ... secularism." He warned that this strategy backfired in Turkey, where it "generally pushed most of the Islamic believers in Turkey more toward radicalism."
Nolte argued leftists in America have made a "deliberate attempt" to craft a similar narrative. In particular, he pointed to "The Handmaid's Tale," a tailor-made scarytale "that's going to appeal particularly to secular educated women who do not attend church and are not familiar with Christian belief." Nolte criticized the way it twisted Scripture to depict a "misogynistic, theocratic society" that has nothing in common with the policy goals of socially conservative Christians in America.
Ultimately, fearmongering about the slur "Christian nationalism" says far more about those who wield it than those they aim to describe. In the "Red Scares" of the 1920s-50s, allegations that there was a communist under every rock, tree, bush, government desk, and movie script did little to inform the American public about which people really were communists.
But they did inform Americans that the accusers were anti-communists. Similarly, accusations of "Christian nationalism" don't inform Americans about which politicians, if any, wish to establish a theocracy; but they do help Americans understand that the people making the accusations are anti-Christian and anti-nationalist.
One final accusation lobbed against Christianity came from UC Riverside professor Reza Aslan, a Christian apostate. "The biggest sin, if you will, of Christian nationalism, is that it sees pluralism as a weakness, and not what it is: the foundation of what it means to be American," Aslan insisted. The irony in this inverted statement is so thick you could ice it and slice it.
Not only did Aslan overlook the Christian origins of American pluralism, but he also missed the fact that American Christians are still pleading for a pluralistic society, "that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way" (1 Timothy 2:2). It is totalitarian leftists who seek to de-pluralize American public life by banishing Christians from the public square -- and scaremongering about "Christian nationalism" is simply their latest attempt to do so.

BRICS: 30 New Countries Prepare To Join Alliance in 2024
Vinod Dsouza February 25, 2024
A handful of developing countries are preparing to join the BRICS alliance in 2024. Developing countries from Asia, the global south, Africa, and even Europe are considering securing a spot in BRICS this year. The upcoming BRICS summit will be held in October 2024 in the Kazan region of Russia. The 16th summit will see a new influx of applications from countries that are preparing to join BRICS this year.

India’s Foreign Affairs Minister S Jaishankar confirmed that more than 2 dozen countries want to join BRICS in 2024. The development indicates that developing countries trust the alliance and want to distance themselves from the US dollar. The spiraling debt of $34 trillion is a burden to developing countries that hold billions in US dollars as reserves.
Therefore, developing nations are aiming to reduce the risk of debt by putting their local currencies first for trade. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade.
S Jaishankar said in a recent press conference that BRICS expansion could be on the cards in 2024. He explained that the alliance tested its mettle last year by asking how many countries wanted to join the bloc. To his surprise, he said that 30 countries expressed their interest and submitted their applications to join BRICS in 2024.

The Foreign Minister said that the new applications speak for themselves as countries see value in the BRICS alliance. “We tested it last year in the market, asking how many want to join BRICS. We got almost 30 countries who were willing to join BRICS. Clearly, 30 countries saw value in it, there must be something good with that,” he said to ANI.
Read here to know the full list of 30 countries that are preparing to join the BRICS alliance this year in 2024. Another round of expansion could take the alliance a notch higher making it financially stronger to take on the West.

A Digital Coup d’Etat
By Jeffrey A. Tucker February 22, 2024
There was a time. What seemed to be unfolding was a huge intellectual error for the history books. A new virus had come along and everyone was freaking out and smashing all normal social functioning.
The excuse turns out just to be the cover story. Still, it bears examination.
Even though plenty of outside commentators said the pathogen should be handled in the normal way – with known treatment and calm while those most susceptible stayed cautious until endemicity – some people on the inside fell prey to a great fallacy. They had come to believe computer models over known realities. They thought that you could separate everyone, drive down infections, and then the virus would die out.
This was never a plausible scenario, as anyone who knew something about the history of pandemics would report. All known experience stood against this cockmamie scheme. The science was very clear and widely available: lockdowns do not work. Physical interventions in general achieve nothing.
But, hey, they said it was an experiment born of new thinking. They would give it a whirl.
When it became clear that the lockdowners had gained sway over policy, many of us thought, truly, how long can this really last? A week, maybe two. Then we would be done. But then something strange happened. The money began to flow. And flow. The states thought that was awesome so they kept it up. The money printers got to work. And general chaos broke out: social, cultural, educational, economic, and political.
It all happened so fast. The months rolled on with no break in the narrative. It became crazy after a time. There were so few critics. We didn’t know it but they were being silenced by a new machinery that had already been constructed for this purpose.
Among that which was censored was criticism of the inoculation potion that was being rolled out and which would eventually be forced on populations all over the world. They said it was 95 percent effective, but it wasn’t clear what that could mean. No coronavirus had ever been controlled by any vaccination. How could this be true? It wasn’t true. Nor did the shot stop the spread.
Many people said this at the time. But we couldn’t hear them. Their voices were muffled or silenced. The social media companies had already been taken over by government-connected interests working on behalf of intelligence agencies. We had believed that these tools were designed to increase our connections with others and enable free speech. Now they were being used to broadcast a preset regime narrative.
Strange industrial shifts took place. Gas cars were deprecated in favor of a new experiment in electric vehicles, thanks to intense consumer demand caused by shortages owing to supply chain breakages. Digital learning platforms got a huge boost because physical classrooms were closed. Online ordering and doorstep delivery became the rage because people were told not to leave their homes and small businesses were forcibly closed.
The pharma companies were riding high of course, gradually acculturating the population to a subscription model. There were attempts to convert whole countries to a health passport system. New York City tried this, along with actual physical segregation of the entire city, with the vaccinated considered clean while the unvaccinated were not allowed into restaurants, libraries, or theaters. The digital app didn’t work however, so that plan fell apart quickly.
All of this happened in less than one year. What began as an intellectual error in public health ended up looking like a digital coup d’etat.
Coups of the past featured rebel armies from the hills storming the cities and joined by the military as they invaded the palace and the leader and his family fled in a carriage or helicopter depending on the epoch.
This was different. It was organized and planned by intelligence agencies within the structure of the global state, a great reset to reject the forms of the past and replace them all with a new dystopia.
Initially, the people who said this was a great reset were derided as crazed conspiracy theorists. But then it turned out that the head of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, had written a book by the very title that you could buy from Amazon. It turns out to be HG Wells’s The Open Conspiracy updated for the 21st-century technology.
There turns out to be much more than that. There was an angle to all of this that impacts the mechanisms we use for democratic control of societies. Buried in the flurry of bills shoved through in March 2020 was a liberalization of balloting and voting that would never have been tolerated before. In the name of social distancing, mail-in ballots would become the norm, along with the known irregularities they introduce.
Implausibly, this too was part of the plan.
Researching and realizing all of this in real time has been a bit much. It has shattered the old ideological paradigms. The old theories no longer explain the world as it is unfolding. It causes all of us to revisit our priors, at least those with minds adaptable enough to pay attention. For vast swaths of the intellectual class, this is not possible.
Looking back, we should have known something was up at the outset. There were too many anomalies. Were the people in charge really so stupid as to believe that you can make a virus go away by making everyone stay home? It’s absurd. You cannot control the microbial kingdom this way, and surely everyone with a modicum of intelligence knows this.
Another clue: there never was an exit plan. What exactly was fourteen days of frozen activity going to achieve? What was the benchmark of success? We were never told. Instead, the elites in media and government simply encouraged fear. And then met that fear with ridiculous protocols like dousing ourselves with sanitizer, masking while walking, and presuming every other person is a disease vector.
This was psychological warfare. To what end and how ambitious are these hidden plans for us?
Only four years later, we are grasping the fullness of what was going down.
For those of us schooled in the persistent incompetence of government to get anything right, much less deploy a plan with anything like precision, elaborate conspiracy theories of plots and schemes always seem implausible. We just don’t believe them.
This is why it took us so long to see the fullness of what was deployed in March 2020, a scheme that combined a plethora of seemingly disparate governmental/industrial ambitions including:
1) rollout of subscription/platform model of Pharma distribution,
2) mass censorship,
3) election management/rigging,
4) universal basic income,
5) industrial subsidies to digital platforms,
6) mass population surveillance,
7) cartelization of industry,
8) shift in income distribution and entrenchment of administrative state power,
9) crushing of ‘populist’ movements worldwide, and
10) the centralization of power generally speaking.
To top it off, all these efforts were global in scope. This whole model truly stretches the bounds of plausibility. And yet all the evidence points to exactly the above. It just goes to show that even if you don’t believe in conspiracies, conspiracies believe in you. It was a digital-age coup d’etat unlike anything humanity has ever experienced.
How long will it take us to process this reality? We seem to be only at the early stages of understanding, much less resisting.

Banks will 'tokenize' customer deposits to pave way for CBDCs
Digital tokenization explained in simple, plain English
Leo Hohmann Feb 25, 2024
Christine LeGarde, a globalist French politician who has been president of the European Central Bank since 2019, has recently announced that the European Union is getting closer to launching its new central bank digital currency.
Once this happens, you can bet the U.S. Federal Reserve will feel more pressure to launch its CBDC.
LeGarde, using classic political posturing, speaks out of both sides of her mouth. On the one side, she promises the new digital euro will be purely voluntary and that paper cash will always be an available option. On the other, she says that she has no real control over the details of the new digital currency because that will be left up to E.U. legislators.
Watch this report from CPA Lena Petrova, who says banks will tokenize customer deposits before they roll out their CBDCs.
Petrova laid out the key to the coming digital system. They will tokenize your assets. The other part of the deal is that they will also tokenize your existence through the issuance of a digital ID. Any asset, living or nonliving, can be tokenized.
What is a digital token?
Wireless token technology has been around since 2008. A wireless token is like a serial number printed on a dollar bill, including a series of letters and numbers, only with tokenization those letters and numbers can change every ten seconds. These changes provide authentication.
The powers who are pushing the world into a one-world digitized economy don’t want to admit it yet but this is a system meant to replace all of the world’s paper fiat currencies. All of those paper currencies are destined for the dust bin.
At some point they will engineer a switcheroo, offering you X amount of tokenized assets in return for your paper dollars.
Let’s face it, the central banks can easily nudge people into the digital currency simply by devaluing the paper dollars through hyper inflation. If the paper dollars and euros become basically worthless, most people will leap at the opportunity to convert those worthless pieces of paper into what will be seen as the next big thing, the solution to hyper inflation — which will be CBDCs. These CBDCs may even be backed by gold, silver or some other hard asset, making them appear much more “safe and secure.”
As I discussed in my previous article, the catch is that the new digital tokenized “cash” will come with many restrictions on how and where and with whom it can be spent.
So do not believe the lies from Christine LeGarde or any other globalist bureaucrat who say we “will always have cash.”
You can count on the big switcheroo, whether it’s part of a incremental process over a period of years or whether it’s done quickly in the midst of a financial crisis, the cashless society of the future is about to be rolled out.

WARNING: The Greatest Bubble In World History Is Beginning To Burst
February 25, 2024
As we get ready to head into March, the greatest bubble in world history is now beginning to burst.
February 25 (King World News) – Matthew Piepenburg, partner at Matterhorn Asset Management: It’s almost comical to watch policy makers of all stripes and country codes caught in a corner yet pretending we don’t notice.
Children In Charge
I’m reminded of the kid with his hand in the cookie jar while pretending his parents can’t see him—denying his guilt despite the crumbs falling from his face.
Again: It’s almost comical.
But there’s really nothing funny at all about major economies crawling into recession (Germany, Japan, UK, China) or denying recession (USA) while our mental midgets from DC to the EU play with bonds, inflation currency and war like kindergarteners with gas and matches.
Can’t Hide the Debt Cookie Crumbs
Speaking of kids caught with crumbs on their face while denying responsibility, it seems that even our central bankers can’t keep hiding the facts of now “unsustainable debt” (Powell) with clever lies, such as they had tried to do in the past:
In short, the days of hiding bad math behind empty words are now coming to an end, as most recently evidenced by another comical treasury market auction (below).
Keep It Simple: Debt & Bonds
As we’ve repeated ad nauseum, “the bond market is the thing,” and its survival, like a diesel V8 engine, lives and dies on liquidity/grease—i.e. dollars.
After trillions in outright grotesque QE grease following the bond crisis of 2020 and a hidden TBTF bank bailout (disguised as pandemic relief), the combined efforts of the Fed and Treasury Dept (i.e., the yin and yang of Powell and Yellen) to provide backdoor liquidity to this thirsty market are both tragic and remarkable.
Despite Powell’s headline tightening since 2022, the level of direct Fed liquidity is still tens of billions per month, and the hundreds of billions provisionally drawn from the reverse repo markets, the Treasury General Account (TGA), the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) are just QE by another pathway.
In addition to these tricks, tack on Yellen’s desperate attempt to issue trillions from the short end of the yield curve to take supply (and price) pressure off the sacred U.S. 10-Year, we can trace more examples of open desperation and backdoor liquidity by another name.
But at some point, all these liquidity tricks (as well as liquidity) run dry…
And when this “grease” runs out, that is when the bond engine stalls and the global financial system, led by a broke(n) U.S.A, starts its slow stall to the side of the proverbial road as the engine hisses, coughs and then dies.
Stated otherwise, the kids in DC are running out of cookies and jars (i.e., liquidity), and their lies and excuses are getting harder to hide.
Don’t believe it? Just look at the unloved US bond market.
A Very Telling & Embarrassing Treasury Auction
Having issued too many IOU’s (T-Bills) from the short end of the yield curve, Yellen’s Treasury Dept recently tried to auction off some IOUs from the longer end, namely the US 20Y UST.
Folks: It was embarrassing.
Foreign bidders for Uncle Sam’s 20-Year bond dropped to under 60% (they were 74% of the bidders in November).
This means that primary dealers (i.e., big banks) were forced to fill the gap by purchasing almost 22% of Uncle Sam’s increasingly unloved bar-tab of 20Y IOUs…
In simple speak, this is an open sign that the bond market is cracking. In fact, however, it has been cracking for a while…
Memories are short, as many have already forgotten the extreme dysfunction on the short end of the curve in Q1 of 2023 (not to mention the bank failures that followed, and with more to come, as warned…).
A similar disfunction is now openly obvious on the long-end of the bond curve, at least for those paying attention.
When bonds are unloved, their prices begin to fall, and their yields, which move inversely to price, start to rise, which means their interest rates rise too—adding more pressure (and cost) on Uncle Sam’s ability to repay the same.
Fiscal Dominance—More Than Just a Term of Art
This moment of interest expense “uh-oh” for DC is what the St. Louis Fed described in June of last year as “Fiscal Dominance,” namely that point where rising rates (and debt costs) get so high (i.e., dysfunctional), that the only option (and source) for more “greasy liquidity” (i.e., USDs) to support those ugly bonds is with money “clicked” out of thin air.
In short: More QE to the moon is inevitable, not debatable.
This QE inevitability is inherently inflationary, and this by the way, is the end-game for the Dis-United States, even if we experience a dis-inflationary recession somewhere in the middle of this tragic playing field.
Dollar Debasement—Right Before Our Eyes
Needless to say, such fake liquidity in the form of an increasingly weaponized (and hence unloved) USD, places even more negative pressure on a DXY, which at the time of the aforementioned (and embarrassing) auction, was at 104, down from its 110+ levels of Q3 2022…
In the last four years of increasing bond dysfunction in the wake of drying liquidity, DC has shown five times in a row that it will come quickly and aggressively to the rescue to provide more fake grease (again, from the TGA, the BTFP, the repo markets etc.) to “save” the bond market at the expense of the currency.
Soon, we’ll just see plain ol’ QE, which will debase the USD even more, regardless of its “relative strength” to other equally, if not more, debased global currencies.
Such currency debasement, again, fits the pattern of all nations slowly dying from their own debt sins.
For now, of course, the markets are expecting Powell’s promised rate cuts to become actual rate cuts.
As a result, these markets are just giddy in anticipation and have recently hit all-time-highs on Powell words rather than Fed actions.
These already dangerously bloated markets will rise even further whenever the Fed has no choice but to hit the QE red button at the Eccles Building.
Tread Carefully You Top-Chasers
For those few, very few, who know how to trade nose-bleed tops without getting burned when net-incomes/margins trend south, the speculation and momentum trade juices are flowing.
But as I recently warned with evidence rather than hyperbole, today’s S&P, which is little more than a glorified tech ETF lead by 5 names, is the most dangerous bubble I’ve ever seen, traded or studied.
That Clever Pet Rock
Gold, meanwhile, will clearly get, and is already getting, the last laugh as stock bubbles inflate and bond markets scream for more debased USD grease.
The recent 20Y bond auction, above, with its foretelling of rising yields, should have been a massive headwind for that “yield-less pet rock.”
But as I argued from Vancouver in January, gold is breaking away from the standard correlations to rate, currency and inflation/deflation indicators.
Why?
For the simple reason that the overall system is now so openly broken, cracked, and dis-trusted that gold’s historically trusted (as well as speculator-ignored) role as a provider of real value (and 52-week highs) in world of diluted yet inflated currencies and bubble assets is becoming more obvious.
Again, this easily explains why central banks are stacking (and TRUSTING) this pet rock and dumping Uncle Sam’s IOUs at record levels.
That is, the world’s central banks (and leaders) see a US Humpty Dumpty about to fall off a wall, and when it does, gold will do far more to protect investors and sovereigns than bad IOUs and bubble assets measured in paper “money.”
Not surprisingly, the 0.5% of global financial assets allocated to gold are and will be rewarded not because they are just “contrarian for contrarian’s sake,” but because this remarkably small/informed minority are wise enough to think ahead rather just follow the sell-side sirens (and the crowd).
Which Needle Will Pop the Red Debt Ballon?
For now, and in the surreal backdrop of spiking markets and a Main Street on its knees and waiting for the “wealth effect” of a feudalistic rather that capitalistic financial system, all we can do is stare at the greatest debt bubble in history and guestimate which needle will “pop” it…
Will it be spiking rates colliding with the white swan of unprecedented global debt? A derivative market implosion? A geopolitical black swan? Another war? A collapsing Japan? China? America? A fractured/fragile EU? An immigration-lead fracturing of social order?
Who knows.
With so many needles pointed at a now historically unfathomable (and mathematically unpayable) red debt balloon, the actual needle that pricks us is rarely the one we see coming…
A Bank Needle?
As in 2008, the next crisis may come from where most crises are born, namely behind the glass doors of our stupid (and system-protected) banks…
The commercial real estate (CRE) crisis, of which I warned as far back as 2020, is anything but a minor matter.
The CRE losses on non-performing loans (NPLs) now exceeds the loss reserves at many of the largest US banks (Citi, Goldman, Wells, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan etc.)
The Fed’s Real Mandate
Ironically, however, I don’t worry about these silly banks, because their Rich Uncle Fed’s real mandate is not inflation and employment, but making sure the foregoing banks, from which the Fed was un-naturally spawned, do not fail.
Bank regulators, who are just former bank executives, will meet FOMC and Treasury “experts” in DC and paste-together more back-room extend and pretend programs (which is how all failed banks deal with their failing loans and leadership) to provide the bigger boys with needed “grease” (i.e., liquidity) to stay alive (via forced yet subsidized UST, MBS and syndicated CRE/ABS purchases) as the Fed, once again, decides between saving the banking system or the currency.
Needless to stay, the suspense is hardly killing any of us who know how DC and Wall Street work.
In other words, expect more mouse-clicked trillions to save Uncle Fed’s spoiled banking nephews in a NYC which has slowly become not only a den of thieves, but a half-way house for millions of illegals which we like to call “asylum seekers” …
Ah, the American Dream, ah, the city that never sleeps…and the nightmare that never ends for every inflation-braced Main Street from Sea to Shining Sea.
Big Trouble in Little China
Of course, the US is not alone with yet another real estate cancer. China’s CRE crisis is arguably and mathematically worse.
But is that any real consolation to those facing an increasingly debased Greenback and unloved UST?
Are we supposed to be happy that our currency and bonds, though awful, are still better (for now, at least) than China’s?
Well, if our Dollar and IOU are so relatively special, why are the yields on our 10Y UST spiking 200 basis points above the CGB (Chinese Government Bond) yields?
Well, unlike the US, China is not pretending to be above total control over its markets and people, a trend which will come to the West once its childish leaders are forced into a debt corner.
History’s Sad Pattern
As I’ve warned for years, the syllogism from debt-crisis to market-crisis to currency and inflation crisis, followed by social unrest and then increased centralization from the extreme left or right is a pattern as old as history itself.
China has no shame about overt capital controls or state-owned banking.
But are our Fed-supported TBTF banks any less “centralized” just because their CEO’s get paid like capitalists despite being bailed out like state-sponsored entities?
We have had Wall Street socialism for years, but have put a nice “free market” lipstick on what is in essence just an “insider” pig.
Based on the trends above, and the pattern just described, the slow-drip toward more currency debasement, inflation and centralized (and capital) controls (think CBDC) in the wake of social unrest (from truckers and tractors fighting their “lords” from NYC to Berlin) is not only here and now, but the tragic road ahead.
This pattern of centralization, sadly, is just history and math. The cycles will play out. And gold, though no cure-all for all the overt and covert sins of our failed leadership, will at least be a cure for our failed currency.

In Almost Any Other Place And Any Other Time Period, 'Mass Murderers' In High Places Would Have Been Hunted Down And Hung For Carrying Out Crimes Of Genocide Upon 'The People'
- Mass murderers get a free pass to continue exterminating us

According to this alarming new story over at the Daily Mail (saved here at Archive,) there's been over a 200% explosion in young women and girls getting pancreatic cancer, with the so-called 'experts' admitting they're 'frightened' and 'baffled' by the skyrocketing number of cases of the deadly disease, though as these 'cancer experts' claim, they have no idea what's causing this shocking rise.
Reporting in their story that soaring obesity rates MAY be behind the startling rise, but they're not quite sure why men aren't experiencing the same shocking percentage increase in the numbers of such cancer cases as women, that story none-the-less took a shot at 'conspiracy theories' that 'the jabs' are causing an alarming rise in cancer cases of all kinds, and in both men and women, and all around the world, reporting such claims have not been proven.
And while the commenters on that story were quick to call out the DM for pushing the 'party line of the eugenicists' and ignoring the fact that millions have died from the devastating 'adverse effects' of 'the vax,' we see once again that 'the experts' claim to be clueless while ignoring the gargantuan elephant in the room that most can now see as clear as day, that all of these 'sudden and unexpected deaths,' and an explosion in 'turbo cancers,' only began soon after the rollout of 'the vax,' and that every day, this looks more and more like an intentional 'culling' of the population, a very real 'war' upon humanity.
And we keep getting more and more proof that this 'bioweapon attack' upon the human race is a very real attempt by those 'eugenicists' who believe the world is 'overpopulated' and that the population must be 'whittled down' to 'save the planet' as seen in the must-watch 1st video at the bottom of this story featuring Tucker Carlson interviewing Steve Kirsch who warns us we've got clear proof 'the vax' comes along with well over 770 'adverse effects,' and that the CDC and other government agencies have been trying their very best to hide them. Just think about that! Over 770 adverse health effects!!! And all being hidden away from the population by 'the powers that be'!
Leading to a massive censorship campaign all across the board, from the White House to the US military to our public health agencies to the mainstream media to our local doctors and hospitals, in almost any other country and almost any other period of time, very real 'health terrorists' would be hunted down and hung for carrying out genocide upon their very own people, but for some bizarre reason, these mass murderers are getting a free pass to continue their rampage upon us in 2024.
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
As one commenter on this Rumble video of Tucker Carlson interviewing Steve Kirsch had pointed out perfectly, "Everyone who lied or failed to uphold their "DO NO HARM" oath should be fired, charged, and potentially hung for genocide."
With another commenter on that video pointing out "Crimes committed in a global war would be charged with crimes against humanity. Those who pushed and censored the truth that led to millions dying should be held accountable by the same standards," until people like Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, just to name a few, are held accountable for this genocide, these eugenicists will continue to get away with mass murder.
As Expose-News reported in this must-read new story titled "DIED SUDDENLY: Fauci Lied & Hundreds of Thousands of Children Died due to COVID Vaccination according to Secret CDC Report," using propaganda, lies and outright manipulation, those who 10's of millions of Americans trusted pushed a countless number of innocent children into harms way, not to mention all of the adults who since they've taken their 'clot shots' have died, suddenly and unexpectedly, despite many of them being in excellent physical condition before taking 'the vax'.
Hence the reason why this 'injection' has garnered the perfect 'nickname' of 'the kill shot,' as this new story over at Vigilant News, originally published by the Epoch Times, titled "Disturbing Truth About COVID “Vaccines” — Worse Than Ever" has warned, we keep getting more and more proof this attack upon humanity was very intentional, with more and more evidence the 'shots' were intentionally bioengineered to cause mass illnesses and deaths. Below is an important excerpt from their story.:
Since the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, a significant number of vaccinated people have reported various adverse reactions.
Some adverse events are widely acknowledged, like blood clots and myocarditis. Others are less publicly discussed but are still present in the research literature.
The Epoch Times reviewed the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the United Kingdom’s Yellow Card Reporting system, South Africa’s VAERS database, and numerous peer-reviewed studies, selecting the top reported adverse events with literature support. Their severity determines the order of the events.
Chest pain may be a sign of myocarditis, but it can also be due to inflamed rib joints, lung inflammation, or neuropathy in the chest—all of which will be explained later in the article.
Fatigue after vaccination is mostly transient. However, some people may experience persistent and debilitating fatigue, where even taking showers or doing a basic chore leaves them exhausted for the remainder of the day. Around 8 percent to 80 percent of vaccinated individuals report fatigue as a side effect, with most cases being mild. However, for some people, fatigue may never seem to get better. A study that followed 498 vaccinated physicians and dentists showed that around 6 percent reported long-term fatigue post-vaccination. One possible reason for the fatigue is mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are the body’s cellular powerhouse, present in most cells and responsible for producing energy for the body.
Fever and chills may manifest due to the body’s immune system fighting off the vaccine and are usually transient.
Swelling and pain at the injection site is usually transient. Pain can also happen throughout the body.
Armpit pain may indicate that the body’s immunity is fighting off infections. The armpit area houses a cluster of lymph nodes that contain immune cells. These lymph nodes can become swollen after infection and vaccinations, leading to pain in the underarm area.
Nervous System Disorders
Nervous system disorders are some of the most common adverse events reported. In the Pfizer trials, these disorders were the third most common, coming after general and muscle-related adverse events, while they were the second most common in the Moderna trials.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Dementia
Seizures
Gait Disturbance
Bell’s Palsy
Tremors
Sensory Changes
Headaches and Dizziness
Fainting
Cardiac Disorders
Cardiac Arrest
Cardiomyopathy
Heart Attack
Myocarditis and Pericarditis
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Arrhythmia
Hypertension
Heart Palpitations
Blood Disorders
Stroke
Pulmonary Embolism
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Vasculitis
And just think! Those are just a few of the 770+ 'adverse effects' of the vaxxes that Tucker Carlson and Steve Kirsch speak about in the 1st video below! All of those 'adverse effects' listed above are explained in much more detail at this Epoch Times story.
So, if you were one of those who got 'the vax' for work, travel or one of the many other reasons why people were conned into getting it, did you 'sign up' for all of those 'adverse effects' as well? And keep in mind, with 'shedding' of the vax now proven, it's not just 'the vaxxed' who have been suffering.
And while we'd never expect the mainstream media to admit to covering up the global genocide being carried out on their watch because they'd know what the likely repercussions would be, and we'd never expect those who weaponized these 'injections' to kill to admit to their crimes because they also know they're carrying out very real crimes upon humanity that would see them all executed for their crimes if there were any true 'rule of law,' we must continue to hammer at them for carrying out genocide as long as we are able.
With more and more Americans and people all across the planet now 'awakening' to the damage that was caused by the 'injections,' largely because more and more people have been falling incredibly ill with symptoms such as those mentioned above, symptoms which they never had before they were forced to take 'the vax,' it may be only a matter of time before 'the guilty' are hunted down and held accountable.
And while we here at ANP are definitely NOT advocating for the American people to take the law into their own hands at this time and merely arguing that these crimes upon humanity MUST BE investigated at the very highest levels, with 'the guilty' held accountable, even when 'the guilty' are sitting in the very highest seats of power here in the USA, until that is done, there'll clearly be no 'moving forward' for America when such a huge number of Americans clearly see what's going on all around them.
As we're warned in each of the videos below, this is one of the biggest crimes upon humanity that we have ever witnessed, carried out by those who Americans actually trusted at one point in time, with estimates of well over 17 million people murdered and clear signs it'll only get worse in the months and years ahead.
With the 'terrorist government' here in the USA having a very long history of carrying out illegal biological warfare and developing illegal biological weapons of mass destruction, programs led by the Department of Defense and the CIA as reported in this Gateway Pundit story, it's long past time that heads roll.

Canadian Doctors Admit Covid ‘Booster’ Shot Paralyzed Woman, Offer to Euthanize Her to ‘Make Up for It’
Frank Bergman February 24, 2024 - 12:28 pm
Canadian doctors have admitted that a Covid “booster” shot from Moderna is responsible for a young Ontario woman now being paralyzed for the rest of her life.
37-year-old mother Kayla Pollock is now paralyzed from the neck down after receiving the mRNA injection and says her life has become a “living hell.”
According to a report from The Liberty Daily, however, doctors have offered to “make up for it” by euthanizing the young mom.
The doctors suggested that Pollock should apply for Canada’s controversial Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program and said they would help her application get accepted.
As Slay News has reported, Canada has some of the most liberal euthanasia laws in the world.
In recent years, the government has been increasingly relaxing the laws that were originally meant to give terminally ill people an option for dying.
However, the expansion of the laws means people can now be euthanized for far less severe issues such as depression, homelessness, or mental illness.
The laws have even been expanded to include “mature minors” with a push to expand to infants.
In recent months, the North American nation has been ramping up efforts to accelerate the euthanasia of mentally ill citizens.
However, Canada’s government has recently been forced to halt its controversial program to euthanize mentally ill patients after large numbers of doctors have refused to participate in the scheme.
Nevertheless, applications for euthanizing disabled Canadians have never been simpler.
In fact, Canada is now euthanizing dozens of citizens every single day.
According to The Canadian Independent, Pollock’s life took a drastic turn after receiving a Moderna Covid mRNA “booster” shot.
She experienced paralysis from the neck down and has been enduring a challenging ordeal ever since.
When the pandemic struck, Kayla recalls the mainstream media, politicians, and public health officials emphasizing the severity of the virus and urging everyone to get vaccinated.
She remembers health officials specifically advising that those at highest risk should prioritize getting vaccinated.
Kayla heeded the advice of health officials and received the first two Pfizer shots in the middle of 2021 and didn’t experience any issues.

Additionally, she mentions another reason for getting vaccinated was because her father resided in a long-term care facility with dementia, and vaccination was going to be a requirement for entry into the care home.
Kayla then decided to take a booster, but this time it was a Moderna booster shot.
According to Kayla, Moderna was being given out instead of Pfizer.
Kayla says that something didn’t sit right in her gut, but she went ahead with the Moderna booster shot anyway.

According to Kayla, Moderna was being given out instead of Pfizer.
Kayla says that something didn’t sit right in her gut, but she went ahead with the Moderna booster shot anyway.
She explains her reasoning for getting the third shot was because she felt like a third one would be mandated at some point to get access to her dad’s long-term care home.
She received the Moderna booster shot on January 11, 2022.
Four days later, Kayla described a situation where her legs just gave out, and she collapsed, but all seemed fine a short time later.
Then, nine days later, she experienced a similar event, and at that time, she called her doctor, asking to see a neurologist because she suspected something wasn’t right.
On the morning of February 22, 2022, Kayla’s life took an irreversible turn.
As she awoke, she couldn’t move her body.
Later, Kayla would learn that she had developed transverse myelitis, a condition that interrupts the transmission of messages along the spinal cord nerves throughout the body.
She would go on to spend several months in the hospital.
During her hospital stay, she said she came under increasing pressure from doctors to submit to euthanasia.
She revealed that she was forced to reject offers to be put in for MAID on two occasions during her hospital stay.
After being released from the hospital, doctors have told her that she will never walk again.
They also admitted that the “booster” was to blame and again offered to help her get approved for MAID, which she rejected, again.
An organization called Veterans 4 Freedom has stepped in to help Kayla and has set up a GiveSendGo campaign to help her raise funds for a service dog.
As The Liberty Daily notes, the story serves as a “damnation of Canada’s socialized healthcare system.”

THE BIDEN REGIME'S WAR ON CHRISTIANS
By Shawn Fleetwood - thefederalist.com
"The left is trying to shame Christians, to silence you, demoralize you, and keep you out of politics. But Christians cannot afford to sit on the sidelines in this fight. ... Ultimately, the radical left is coming after all of us, because they know that our allegiance is not to them - our allegiance is to our country and to our Creator."
The remarks from former President Donald Trump during the National Religious Broadcasters Convention on Thursday will likely generate scoffs and eye rolls from members of America's corrupt media. But for millions of faithful Christians throughout the country, the former president's comments contain bold truths the left will brush aside as "conspiracy theories." That is, since taking office, President Joe Biden and his regime apparatchiks are hellbent on persecuting conservative Christians who defy their extremist agenda.
Despite casting himself as a devoted Catholic, Biden has presided over what has arguably been the most antagonistic administration toward faithful Christians in the modern era.
In January 2023, for example, the FBI issued a memo revealing that the agency's field office in Richmond, Virginia, was tasked with investigating the alleged threat of "white supremacy" among Catholics who attend Latin Mass. As Evita Duffy-Alfonso previously wrote in these pages, the memo said the FBI "may potentially mitigate" the supposed "threat" of "Radical-Traditionalist Catholics" with "'tripwire and source development,' which means further infiltration into Catholic communities using various kinds of informants."
While FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed during congressional testimony that the memo was "a single product by a single field office," House Republicans later uncovered that multiple FBI field offices were involved in the document's creation, including those in Los Angeles and Portland.
But the Biden administration's weaponization of government agencies against Christians doesn't stop there. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has egregiously attempted to imprison Christians for publicly expressing their faith.
In October 2022, the agency charged six pro-lifers under the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Their crime? Peacefully praying, reading the Bible, and singing hymns in the hallway of an abortion facility in Nashville, Tennessee. A federal jury convicted these individuals last month. Participants such as Paul Vaughn could face up to 11 years in prison and $260,000 in fines should his likely decision to appeal the charges fail.
Meanwhile, Biden's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other agencies have been busy harassing the largest Christian college in America. In December, the FTC filed a lawsuit against Grand Canyon University, alleging the school, "its marketer Grand Canyon Education, Inc. and its president and CEO Brian Mueller ... used deceptive advertising and engaged in illegal telemarketing," according to Fox Business. The lawsuit came several weeks after the Biden Department of Education fined GCU $37.7 million for allegedly lying to "over 7,500 former and current students about the cost of its doctoral programs over several years."
Mueller previously told The Federalist he believes the administration's targeting of GCU is "obviously political" and an act of retaliation for the university suing the Education Department over its nonprofit status.
In addition to signing legislation that assists leftist lawfare against Christians and religious organizations that uphold the true meaning of marriage, Biden has also used his presidency as a bully pulpit to condemn court decisions defending religious freedom.
For example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that the government cannot force Americans and private businesses to provide services (i.e. personal expression) that violate their religious beliefs, such as the traditional view that marriage is between one man and one woman. In an attempt to undermine, Biden issued a statement attacking the court and affirming his belief that the state should be able to force religious worshippers to violate their sincerely held beliefs to cater to radical LGBT activists.
Funny how Biden wasn't as interested in using his platform to draw attention to the horrific shooting at a Christian school in Nashville last year, in which a woman pretending to be a man killed three children and three adults. Biden not only declined to visit the families of the victims, but it's also unclear if the president even bothered to call these families to offer his condolences. Worse, in the aftermath of the shooting, the White House attempted to victimize the shooter by claiming the so-called "trans community" was "under attack."
While the FBI and local law enforcement have kept the shooter's manifesto hidden from the public, alleged pages from the document released in November indicate the trans-identifying shooter targeted the Christian Covenant School children because they are white.
Biden's actions are egregious but not surprising. Throughout Scripture, Jesus makes clear that Christians will be persecuted for following him, for the world "hated [him] before it hated [us]" and we "are not of the world" (John 15:18-19).
Biden and his regime's ongoing war against Christians is just history repeating itself. Those who follow God and His Word will be targeted, harassed, attacked, and worse. Whatever barbaric actions the administration may take next, it is incumbent upon all Christians to pick up their crosses and follow Christ, for his graciousness is greater than the suffering endured in this world.

One of the world’s biggest cities may be just months away from running out of water
Laura Paddison, Jack Guy and Fidel Gutiérrez, CNN
Sun, February 25, 2024, 9:23 AM EST·9 min read
2.6k
Alejandro Gomez has been without proper running water for more than three months. Sometimes it comes on for an hour or two, but only a small trickle, barely enough to fill a couple of buckets. Then nothing for many days.
Gomez, who lives in Mexico City’s Tlalpan district, doesn’t have a big storage tank so can’t get water truck deliveries — there’s simply nowhere to store it. Instead, he and his family eke out what they can buy and store.
When they wash themselves, they capture the runoff to flush the toilet. It’s hard, he told CNN. “We need water, it’s essential for everything.”
Water shortages are not uncommon in this neighborhood, but this time feels different, Gomez said. “Right now, we are getting this hot weather. It’s even worse, things are more complicated.”
Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world’s biggest cities, is facing a severe water crisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban development and leaky infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of climate change.
Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.
“Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start,” said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards “day zero” in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.
Historic lows
Densely populated Mexico City stretches out across a high-altitude lake bed, around 7,300 feet above sea level. It was built on clay-rich soil — into which it is now sinking — and is prone to earthquakes and highly vulnerable to climate change. It’s perhaps one of the last places anyone would choose to build a megacity today.
The Aztecs chose this spot to build their city of Tenochtitlan in 1325, when it was a series of lakes. They built on an island, expanding the city outwards, constructing networks of canals and bridges to work with the water.
But when the Spanish arrived in the early 16th century, they tore down much of the city, drained the lakebed, filled in canals and ripped out forests. They saw “water as an enemy to overcome for the city to thrive,” said Jose Alfredo Ramirez, an architect and co-director of Groundlab, a design and policy research organization.
Their decision paved the way for many of Mexico City’s modern problems. Wetlands and rivers have been replaced with concrete and asphalt. In the rainy season, it floods. In the dry season, it’s parched.
Around 60% of Mexico City’s water comes from its underground aquifer, but this has been so over-extracted that the city is sinking at a frightening rate — around 20 inches a year, according to recent research. And the aquifer is not being replenished anywhere near fast enough. The rainwater rolls off the city’s hard, impermeable surfaces, rather than sinking into the ground.
The rest of the city’s water is pumped vast distances uphill from sources outside the city, in an incredibly inefficient process, during which around 40% of the water is lost through leaks.
The Cutzamala water system, a network of reservoirs, pumping stations, canals and tunnels, supplies about 25% of the water used by the Valley of Mexico, which includes Mexico City. But severe drought has taken its toll. Currently, at around 39% of capacity, it’s been languishing at a historic low.
“It’s almost half of the amount of water that we should have,” said Fabiola Sosa-Rodríguez, head of economic growth and environment at the Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico City.
In October, Conagua, the country’s national water commission, announced it would restrict water from Cutzamala by 8% “to ensure the supply of drinking water to the population given the severe drought.”
Just a few weeks later, officials significantly tightened restrictions, reducing the water supplied by the system by nearly 25%, blaming extreme weather conditions.
“Measures will have to be taken to be able to distribute the water that Cutzamala has over time, to ensure that it does not run out,” Germán Arturo Martínez Santoyo, the director general of Conagua, said in a statement at the time.
Around 60% of Mexico is experiencing moderate to exceptional drought, according to a February report. Nearly 90% of Mexico City is in severe drought — and it’s set to get worse with the start of the rainy season still months away.
“We are around the middle of the dry season with sustained temperature increases expected until April or May,” said June Garcia-Becerra, an assistant professor in engineering at the University of Northern British Columbia.
Natural climate variability heavily affects this part of Mexico. Three years of La Niña brought drought to the region, and then the arrival of El Niño last year helped deliver a painfully short rainy season that failed to replenish the reservoirs.
But the long-term trend of human-caused global warming hums in the background, fueling longer droughts and fiercer heat waves, as well as heavier rains when they do arrive.
“Climate change has made droughts increasingly severe due to the lack of water,” said UNAM’s Sarmiento. Added to this, high temperatures “have caused the water that is available in the Cutzamala system to evaporate,” she said.
Last summer saw brutal heat waves roil large parts of the country, which claimed at least 200 lives. These heat waves would have been “virtually impossible” without climate change, according to an analysis by scientists.
The climate impacts have collided with the growing pains of a fast-expanding city. As the population booms, experts say the centralized water system has not kept pace.
‘Day zero?’
The crisis has set up a fierce debate about whether the city will reach a “day zero,” where the Cutzamala system falls to such low levels that it will be unable to provide any water to the city’s residents.
Local media widely reported in early February that an official from a branch of Conagua said that without significant rain, “day zero” could arrive as early as June 26.
But authorities have since sought to assure residents there will be no day zero. In a press conference on February 14, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that work was underway to address the water problems. Mexico City’s mayor, Martí Batres Guadarrama, said in a recent press conference that reports of day zero were “fake news” spread by political opponents.
Conagua declined CNN’s interview requests and did not answer specific questions on the prospect of a day zero.
But many experts warn of a spiraling crisis. Mexico City could run out of water before the rainy season arrives if it carries on using it in the same way, Sosa-Rodríguez said. “It’s probable that we will face a day zero,” she added.
This doesn’t mean a complete collapse of the water system, she said, because the city isn’t dependent on just one source. It won’t be the same as when Cape Town in South Africa came perilously close to running totally dry in 2018 following a severe multi-year drought. “Some groups will still have water,” she said, “but most of the people won’t.”
Raúl Rodríguez Márquez, president of the non-profit Water Advisory Council, said he doesn’t believe the city will reach a day zero this year — but, he warned, it will if changes are not made.
“We are in a critical situation, and we could reach an extreme situation in the next few months,” he told CNN.
‘I don’t think anyone is prepared’
For nearly a decade, Sosa-Rodríguez said she has been warning officials of the danger of a day zero for Mexico City.
She said the solutions are clear: Better wastewater treatment would both increase water availability and decrease pollution, while rainwater harvesting systems could capture and treat the rain, and allow residents to reduce their reliance on the water network or water trucks by 30%.
Fixing leaks would make the system much more efficient and reduce the volume of water that has to be extracted from the aquifer. And nature-based solutions, such as restoring rivers and wetlands, would help provide and purify water, she said, with the added advantage of greening and cooling the city.
In a statement on its website, Conagua said it is undertaking a 3-year project to install, develop and improve water infrastructure to help the city cope with decreases in the Cutzamala system, including adding new wells and commissioning water treatment plants.
But in the meantime, tensions are rising as some residents are forced to cope with shortages, while others — often in the wealthier enclaves — remain mostly unaffected.
“There is a clear unequal access to water in the city and this is related to people’s income,” Sosa-Rodríguez said. While day zero might not be here yet for the whole of Mexico City, some neighborhoods have been grappling with it for years, she added.
Amanda Martínez, another resident of the city’s Tlalpan district, said for people here, water shortages are nothing new. She and her family often have to pay more than $100 for a tank of water from one of the city’s water trucks. But it’s getting worse. Sometimes more than two weeks can go by without water and she fears what may be coming, she told CNN.
“I don’t think anyone is prepared.”

Lakes in the Adirondacks are getting browner. Here’s why that’s bad.
Published: Feb. 22, 2024, 10:00 a.m.
By Steve Featherstone | sfeatherstone@syracuse.com
Adirondack lakes are turning browner, warmer, and less oxygenated according to a new study by researchers at Cornell University.
The phenomenon, known as “lake browning,” has dark implications for cold-water fish species central to the Adirondack region’s identity and economy, particularly brook trout, the official New York State fish.
Brook trout prefer cold, well-oxygenated water, which is why they’re most often found in fast running streams and rivers amply shaded by trees. New York is one of only two states—the other being Maine—with lakes that support wild brook trout populations.
But if current warming and browning trends continue, 95% of Adirondack lakes won’t support brook trout populations in the near future, said Stephen Jane, lead author of the study and a post-doctoral fellow at Cornell’s Atkinson Center for Sustainability from 2021-23.
“It may not take a whole lot of warming or browning to really put fish into a real squeeze,” he said. “If it’s bad enough they’re just not going to be able to survive.”
Most adirondack lakes may lose brook trout populations, new study says
Stephen Jane, a post-doctoral fellow at Cornell’s Atkinson Center for Sustainability from 2021-23, published a paper in January showing that 95% of Adirondack lakes won't be able to support brook trout in the near future due to a phenomenon called 'lake browning.'Thomas Detmer
Lake browning
Most Adirondack lakes have a sepia tint similar to weak tea, a byproduct of dissolved organic matter leaching into aquatic systems from the surrounding landscape. Think of it as tea brewed from leaves decaying on the forest floor.
“Just like you put a tea bag in a cup of water and the water becomes brown, it’s the same concept,” Jane said. “The brown water that becomes tea is dissolved organic matter.”
Lake browning is an accelerated version of this otherwise natural process. Let a tea bag steep too long and you get a darker brew. That brown water traps heat at the surface and prevents light from penetrating into the water column, expanding the volume of cool water near the bottom.
The result is lakes divided into hot and cold zones that don’t mix. Oxygen can’t reach lower depths. That’s bad for brook trout, Atlantic salmon, and other cold-water fish species. Surface waters become too hot, and deep water has no oxygen, forcing fish to seek refuge somewhere in the shrinking middle.
Jane calls this dynamic “the oxythermal squeeze” and estimates that about half of all Adirondack lakes already contain no hospitable zone for brook trout in late summer.
Jane found that deep lakes over 30 meters seem to be resistant to both warming and browning, but they’re extremely rare. Less than one percent of Adirondack lakes fall into this category, he says.
“The best-case scenario for Adirondack brook trout is to be in one of the 1% of lakes that are big and deep and well-oxygenated all the way to the bottom. Most fish are not that lucky,” said Peter McIntyre, an aquatic biologist at Cornell. “They’re in the other 99% of the lakes that show these browning trends.”
Apart from a handful of deepwater lakes, researchers determined that less than five percent of Adirondack lakes host a hospitable zone for brook trout year-round. And that zone is typically no thicker than five feet during the warm season.
“If the inhospitable layers touch at some point, then you’re likely to see some mortality of the fish,” said McIntyre.
Evidence shows that climate change is super charging the problem by prolonging the time period that lake bottoms remain anoxic, and by flushing ever more organic matter into lakes through extreme precipitation events—like pouring hot water on a tea bag.
“Currently [brook trout] are hanging on,” Jane said, “but they’re certainly going to get squeezed into a smaller and smaller space, and that’s going to likely reduce populations sizes.”

Acid rain’s legacy
When scientists began studying the impact of air pollution on Northeast ecosystems in the 1970s, the public was confronted with alarming images of denuded Adirondack forests and crystal-clear mountain lakes bleached of all life.
The phenomenon had a sinister name: acid rain. If you thought the problem of acid rain was solved decades ago, you’d be half right.
Amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1990 greatly curtailed pollutants that caused acid rain. Ecosystems began to recover. Once dead Adirondack lakes came back to life and regained their natural sepia hue.
What scientists didn’t fully understand until now is that acid rain had altered the region’s soil chemistry, causing dissolved organic matter—the stuff inside the tea bag—to leach into aquatic systems at very high levels.
Researchers might have overlooked lake browning altogether if Jane and his team hadn’t dropped high frequency oxygen sensors into 15 remote Adirondack lakes in the spring of 2021 to explore another legacy of acid rain: mercury contamination.
“It quickly became obvious that several of the lakes had extensive anoxia,” Jane said.
Jane’s sensors revealed for the first time the full extent of a problem that had been growing unnoticed for decades and has no end in sight.
“These sorts of processes never continue forever,” said McIntyre. “It’ll be reined in at some point, but we have no idea what that point will be.”

Tens of thousands of pharmacies across America unable to get prescriptions to patients after major cyberattack by 'foreign nation' - a day after cellphone services went down
A cyber attack left pharmacies nationwide unable to process prescriptions
UnitedHealth said that the attack was from a 'suspected nation-state'
READ MORE: What caused the nationwide AT&T outage? Experts weigh in
HAVE YOU STRUGGLED TO GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION? EMAIL HEALTH@DAILYMAIL.COM
By Emily Joshu Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com and Reuters
Published: 08:33 EST, 23 February 2024 | Updated: 10:42 EST, 23 February 2024
A cyberattack on America's biggest health insurer has left pharmacies unable to fill prescriptions across the country.
UnitedHealth said tens of thousands of pharmacies were impacted by the hack it suspects was a state-sponsored attack.
The hack began on Wednesday, preventing several pharmacies from processing prescriptions to insurance companies.
It is unclear how many patients are affected but UnitedHealth serves about 7.7 million customers nationwide.
The incident coincided with a nationwide cell outage at AT&T Thursday, which left more than 70,000 customers without cell service.
There is no evidence that the two events are related, but the FBI and Homeland Security is investigating the latter.
UnitedHealth said Thursday that its Change Healthcare unit, which processes prescriptions to pharmacies across the country, was compromised by a 'suspected nation-state associated cyber security threat actor.'
Several prescription providers announced that they were impacted by the hack.
CVS Health, which has more than 9,000 pharmacies, said that the hack meant that, 'in certain cases' it was unable to process insurance claims.
'We're committed to ensuring access to care as we navigate through this interruption,' the company's statement said. A spokesman for the chain did not immediately provide further details.
Walgreens, which serves nine million customers, said a 'small percentage' of its prescriptions 'may be affected,' but that the company had safeguards in place to process and fill them 'with minimal delay or interruption.'
The company said it had no additional information to share about the incident.
Publix Super Markets didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but on social media some users complained of issues when trying to fill their prescriptions.
'This is a nationwide disruption,' Publix said in a response to one user on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Other companies including GoodRX and BlueCross BlueShield of Montana also flagged potential disruptions on social media.
'We apologize for any outages you have been experiencing while at the pharmacy,' GoodRx wrote on X.
'Unfortunately, the issue is an external one impacting both GoodRx and a multitude of providers.'
'Our team is aware of the issue and working to ensure it is resolved. We appreciate your patience!'
Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, a military health system in California, wrote on X: 'Due to an ongoing enterprise-wide issue, all Camp Pendleton and associated pharmacies are unable to process any prescription claims.'
'We are only able to assist patients with emergency and urgent prescriptions from hospital providers at this time.'
The hospital's website states that 'Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and associated pharmacies will provide outpatient prescriptions through a manual procedure until this issue is resolved.'
'Priority will be given to urgent prescriptions followed by routine prescriptions as manning and resources allow.'
Independent pharmacies also reported issues.
'Please be patient with us and all of the pharmacies affected by this,' Dayton Drug and Wellness, a community pharmacy in Dayton, Tennessee, wrote on its Facebook page.
'There have been/will be delays until this resolves,' Skippack Pharmacy in Skippack, Pennsylvania, said in another message posted to Facebook. 'Pharmacies around the country are affected.'
'There have been/will be delays until this resolves,' Skippack Pharmacy in Skippack, Pennsylvania said in another message posted to Facebook. 'Pharmacies around the country are affected.'
This is far from the first time a health system has been the target of a cyber attack.
In 2022, an attack was carried out against CommonSpirit Health, a system that runs 140 hospitals and 1,000 care sites across 21 states.
This resulted in dangerous consequences for patients, including a three-year-old boy in Iowa who was accidentally given a megadose of opioids when the computer system dictating dosing was shot down.
And in August, hospital computer systems operated by Prospect Medical Holdings were compromised, wreaking havoc in hospitals across five states.
In 2022, an analysis from researchers from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis looked at 374 ransomware attacks across the US between January 2016 and December 2021.
Results showed that the frequency of the hacks more than doubled in that time — from 43 breaches in 2016 to 91 in 2021.
Almost half (44 percent) of ransomware attacks disrupted the delivery of health care, with one in 10 leading to canceled appointments or operations and four percent causing ambulance diversions.
In total, the medical records of 41.9million Americans were accessed in that time, but hackers became much more adept at obtaining patient information.

Was America Just Attacked? We Have Now Been Put On Notice That Our Communication Infrastructure Is Extremely Vulnerable
February 22, 2024 by Michael
What would we do if we suddenly couldn’t use the Internet or our phones any longer? For a lot of people, such a scenario would be unthinkable. In fact, it felt like the “world is ending” for many AT&T customers on Thursday. The disruption to AT&T’s network only lasted for a few hours, but it created quite a frenzy. If we are going to see this much panic for an outage that happens for just a few hours, what would our society look like if Internet and phone communication was down for days, weeks or even months?
Once the outage began, federal authorities moved very rapidly to determine whether it was a cyberattack or not…
Federal agencies are ‘urgently investigating’ whether the massive cellular outage that plagued Americans on Thursday was a cyberattack.
The Federal Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are on the hunt to track down what disrupted service AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and a dozen other cellular providers.
While the agencies have not shared details, a security expert told DailyMail.com that the outage has hallmarks of a hack.
Lee McKnight, associate professor at Syracuse University in New York, said the widespread nature appears to be ‘a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack on core Internet infrastructure.’
I have a feeling that they will assure the general public that it was not a cyberattack no matter what they discover.
In situations such as these, keeping everyone calm is often deemed more important than telling them the truth.
Interestingly, pharmacies all over the U.S. were also having major problems on Thursday due to a cyberattack against “one of the biggest healthcare technology companies in the nation”…
Pharmacies all over the country are experiencing delays in prescription orders due to a cyberattack on one of the biggest healthcare technology companies in the nation, Change Healthcare.
Change Healthcare first noticed the “cyber security issue” affecting its networks on Wednesday morning on the East Coast.
According to Change Healthcare, it appears that a “nation-state associated cyber security threat actor” was involved in that attack…
In a statement the firm says it had ‘identified a suspected nation-state associated cyber security threat actor had gained access to some of the Change Healthcare information technology systems.’
Are the issues at AT&T and the issues at Change Healthcare related?
I have a feeling that they are, but I certainly cannot prove that.
In any event, the truth is that we have just been put on notice.
Our communication infrastructure is extremely vulnerable, and it can be attacked at literally any moment.
Today, there are a number of foreign powers that possess very robust cyberattack capabilities.
One of them is China, and the Washington Post is reporting on a trove of leaked documents that show that the Chinese “are attempting large-scale, systematic cyber intrusions against foreign governments, companies and infrastructure”…
A trove of leaked documents from a Chinese state-linked hacking group shows that Beijing’s intelligence and military groups are attempting large-scale, systematic cyber intrusions against foreign governments, companies and infrastructure — with hackers of one company claiming to be able to target users of Microsoft, Apple and Google.
The cache — containing more than 570 files, images and chat logs — offers an unprecedented look inside the operations of one of the firms that Chinese government agencies hire for on-demand, mass data-collecting operations.
Of course I have no idea if China was involved in the incidents that we witnessed today.
But without a doubt the Chinese have some of the most advanced cyberattack capabilities in the entire world.
On Thursday, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio ominously warned about what China could do to us if a full-scale war breaks out…
‘I don’t know the cause of the AT&T outage,’ said Sen. Marco Rubio, Fla., top Republican on the Intelligence Committee.
‘But I do know it will be 100 times worse when #China launches a cyber attack on America on the eve of a #Taiwan invasion. And it won’t be just cell service they hit, it will be your power, your water and your bank,’ he went on.
He is right.
But the Russians have similar capabilities.
So do the North Koreans.
Needless to say, it isn’t just our enemies that we need to be concerned about. An article that USA Today just posted explained that there are many ways that natural disasters could cause communication disruptions “for an extended period of time”…
While cell service in the U.S. is typically fairly dependable and Thursday’s issues were limited in scope, there’s a long list of potential emergency situations when cell phones could become unreliable, according to Alyssa Provencio, professor at the University of Central Oklahoma who oversees the disaster management certificate program.
Communication issues are the norm in a disaster, not an anomaly, Provencio said. Some scenarios like snow storms, strong wind, torrential rain, fire, and tornadoes may affect a small number of people. Others, like major earthquakes, solar flares or cyberattacks, have the potential to disrupt communications for millions of people for an extended period of time.
Let’s talk about solar activity for a moment.
Because it is just a matter of time before a massive solar storm fries our communication infrastructure, and our politicians have not been preparing for such an event.
The Earth experienced a direct hit from an enormous solar storm in 1859, and if such a storm hit us today the consequences would be catastrophic…
AT&T fell victim to a solar flare in 1972 that interrupted landline services.
The storm that hit Earth was compared to the event in 1859 known as the Carrington Event, which saw the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history.
If such a solar storm were to happen in today’s world, the effects would be catastrophic on our communications systems.
A meteorologist shared online that a solar flare had erupted from the sun around midnight on Thursday, noting that the ‘timing is interesting.’
This is one of the reasons why many of us are watching solar activity so closely.
On Thursday, the most powerful flare of Solar Cycle 25 was unleashed, and if scientists determine that it is heading directly toward Earth we could have a major problem on our hands…
Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected an X6.3-class solar flare from sunspot AR3590 (Feb. 22 @ 2234 UT). This is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25, and the third X-flare the sunspot has produced in a 24 hour period. Stay tuned for updates about this explosion, especially whether or not it has hurled a CME toward Earth.
Hopefully we will not have to face such a scenario any time soon.
But USA Today says that there are some things that all of us should be doing to prepare for the day when some type of emergency does cause extended disruptions…
Cash: It’s a good idea to have cash on hand in case you can’t use mobile payment options or ATMs are down, said James Kendra, co-director of the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware.
Paper copies of important documents: “One of the things that I stress to everybody is to have paper copies of all of your important documents,” he also said. That means a printed out bank statement so you have all your account numbers, a printed insurance statement, phone bill and mortgage or rent documents, so that you have the numbers available you might typically go online to get.
Landline: If you don’t have a landline, you might still be able to use your cell to send SMS text messages or use Wi-Fi to send messages or make calls.
A radio: This is always a good thing to have to receive emergency updates, Provencio said, but if you don’t have one in your home, chances are you do have one in your car.
I think that having a solar-powered radio is so important.
When global events spin wildly out of control, you will want to have access to news and information.
We really are living in unprecedented times.
In all of human history, there has never been a “cyberwar”, and so we don’t know exactly what one would look like.
But it is clear that our communication infrastructure is extremely vulnerable, and what we just witnessed should definitely be a wake up call for all of us.

Gene-Edited Catastrophe in Brazil. Mosquitoes. A Gates Foundation Project
Update
The CBC Reports (April 2023)
“It may sound like the premise for a horror movie, or a biblical plague, but the World Mosquito Program plans to release five billion mosquitos into Brazil. And the hope is they will help save lives.
The billions of bugs will be released with a bacteria called Wolbachia, all in an effort to slow the transmission of dengue fever in the country.”
“In March 2023, Brazil approved a vaccine against dengue and became the first country in the world to offer one through the public health system, according to the health ministry.
More than 3 million people were due to receive a jab in 2024.
According to The Guardian, “in the first five weeks of this year, 364,855 cases of infection have been reported, the health ministry said, four times more than dengue cases in the same period of 2023.”
The Gates Foundation’s Dengue and Malaria Vaccine
Both the genetically modified mosquitos project and well as The Dengue Vaccine are generously funded by Bill Gates
Why Did Gates and the Pentagon Release “Gene Edited” (GMO) Mosquitoes in Florida Keys?
By F. William Engdahl, November 18, 2023
A British-American gene-editing company has released millions of genetically modified mosquitoes containing a dominant lethal gene, each week for 27 months in the Bahia, Brazil region in a test to see if the gene-edited mosquitoes would mate with local mosquitoes carrying Zika, malaria or other mosquito-borne diseases.
A new study documents the alarming fact that following an initial reduction of the target population of mosquitoes, after some months the “population which had been greatly suppressed rebounded to nearly pre-release levels.” Scientists to date have no idea what dangers are presented by the new mutations. This once more highlights the dangers of uncontrolled gene-editing of species.
Is Gene Editing the New Name for Eugenics? “Enter Bill Gates”
According to a new published study in Nature Reports journal, genetically engineered mosquitoes produced by the biotech company, Oxitec, now part of the US company Intrexon, have escaped human control after trials in Brazil and are now spreading in the environment.
On paper the theory was brilliant. Strains of “yellow fever” male mosquitoes taken from Cuba and Mexico were altered using gene-editing to make it impossible for their offspring to survive. Oxitec then began a systematic release of tens of millions of the manipulated mosquitoes over more than two years in the the city of Jacobina in the region of Bahia in Brazil. The Oxitec theory was the altered mosquitoes would mate with normal females of the same type which carry infectious diseases like dengue fever, and kill them off in the process.
‘Unanticipated Outcome…’
A team of scientists from Yale University and several scientific institutes in Brazil monitored the progress of the experiment. What they found is alarming in the extreme. After an initial period in which the target mosquito population markedly declined, after about 18 months the mosquito population recovered to pre-release levels. Not only that, the paper notes that some of the mosquitos likely have “hybrid vigor,” in which a hybrid of the natural with the gene-edited has created “a more robust population than the pre-release population” which may be more resistant to insecticides, in short, resistant “super mosquitoes.”
The scientists note that,
“Genetic sampling from the target population six, 12, and 27–30 months after releases commenced provides clear evidence that portions of the transgenic strain genome have been incorporated into the target population. Evidently, rare viable hybrid offspring between the release strain and the Jacobina population are sufficiently robust to be able to reproduce in nature…” They continue, “Thus, Jacobina Ae. aegypti are now a mix of three populations. It is unclear how this may affect disease transmission or affect other efforts to control these dangerous vectors.”
They estimate that between 10% and 60% of the Bahia natural Ae. Aegypti mosquitoes now had some gene-edited OX513A genome. They conclude that “The three populations forming the tri-hybrid population now in Jacobina (Cuba/Mexico/Brazil) are genetically quite distinct, very likely resulting in a more robust population than the pre-release population due to hybrid vigor.”
This was not supposed to happen. Professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, Jeffrey Powell, senior author of the study, remarked on the findings:
“The claim was that genes from the release strain would not get into the general population because offspring would die. That obviously was not what happened.” Powell went on to note, “But it is the unanticipated outcome that is concerning.”
A Gates Foundation Project
The Brazil study deals a major alarm signal on the uncontrolled release of gene-edited species into nature. It calls to mind the horror plot of Michael Crichton’s 1969 science fiction novel, Andromeda Strain. Only it is no novel.
The Oxitec mosquitoes were developed using a highly controversial form of gene-editing known as gene drive. Gene Drive, which is also being heavily funded by the Pentagon’s DARPA, combined with CRISPR gene-editing, aims to force a genetic modification to spread through an entire population, whether of mosquitoes or potentially humans, in just a few generations.
The scientist who first suggested developing gene drives in gene-editing, Harvard biologist Kevin Esvelt, has publicly warned that development of gene editing in conjunction with gene drive technologies has alarming potential to go awry. He notes how often CRISPR messes up and the likelihood of protective mutations arising, making even benign gene drives aggressive. He stresses,
“Just a few engineered organisms could irrevocably alter an ecosystem.”
Esvelt’s computer gene drive simulations calculated that a resulting edited gene “can spread to 99 percent of a population in as few as 10 generations, and persist for more than 200 generations.” This is very much what has now been demonstrated in the mosquito experiment in Brazil.
Notable is the fact that the Oxitec Brazil mosquito experiment was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In June, 2018 Oxitec announced a joint venture with the Gates Foundation, “to develop a new strain of Oxitec’s self-limiting Friendly™ Mosquitoes to combat a mosquito species that spreads malaria in the Western Hemisphere.” The Brazil results show the experiment is a catastrophic failure as the new strain is anything but self-limiting.
The Gates Foundation and Bill Gates have been backing development of the radical gene-editing technology and gene drive technology for more than a decade. Gates, a long-time advocate of eugenics, population control and of GMO, is a strong gene-editing promoter.
In an article in the May/June 2018 magazine of the New York Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign Affairs, Gates hails gene editing technologies, explicitly CRISPR. In the article Gates argues that CRISPR and other gene-editing techniques should be used globally to meet growing demand for food and to improve disease prevention, particularly for malaria. In his article he adds, “there is reason to be optimistic that creating gene drives in malaria-spreading mosquitoes will not do much, if any, harm to the environment.”
Every bit as alarming as the failure of the Brazil gene-editing mosquito experiment is the fact that this technology is being spread with virtually no prior health or safety testing by truly independent government institutions. To date the US Government relies only on industry safety assurances. The EU, while formally responsible to treat gene-edited species similarly to GMO plants, is reportedly trying to loosen the regulations. China, a major research center for gene-editing, has extremely lax controls. Recently a Chinese scientist announced an experiment in human gene-editing allegedly to make newborn twins resistant to HIV. Other experiments are proliferating around the world with gene-edited animals and even salmon. The precautionary principle has been thrown to the winds when it comes to the new gene-editing revolution, not a reassuring situation.
Currently Oxitec, which denies that the Brazil results show failure, is now trying to get regulatory approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a similar experiment with the same gene-edited species in Texas and Florida. One of the people involved in the attempt, Texan Roy Bailey, is a Washington lobbyist and close friend of Randal Kirk, the billionaire CEO of Intrexon, owner of Oxitec. Bailey is also a major Trump fundraiser. Let’s hope that regulatory prudence and not politics decide the outcome.

Canada Backs Bill Gates’ Scheme to Block the Sun
Frank BergmanFebruary 22, 2024 - 12:59 pm
The Canadian government has announced that the country will be investing millions of dollars in taxpayer money into a scheme championed by Bill Gates that seeks to “fight climate change” by blocking out the Sun.
The government’s Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) released a 5-year plan for tackling so-called “global warming.”
As part of the plan, the ECCC revealed that major investments will be made into technologies that block the Sun’s light and heat from reaching the surface of the Earth.
According to Gates and other globalist scientists promoting the plan, the idea involves “saving the planet” from the alleged threat of “manmade global warming” by cooling the Earth instead.
Gates and his allies, including billionaire George Soros and the World Economic Forum (WEF), believe they can “reverse global warming” by blocking out the Sun.
The idea was outlined in the Canadian government’s “Science Strategy 2024 to 2029” plan released by the ECCC.
The report from the country’s ruling Liberal Party reveals the plan seeks to “Understand the potential for climate engineering and determine the implications of technologies that aim to deliberately alter the climate system, typically to counteract climate warming (e.g., solar radiation modification, marine geoengineering, carbon dioxide removal techniques).”
Environment Canada is also experimenting with cloud whitening, which uses sea salt to brighten the clouds above the ocean to increase electricity and reduce solar absorption.
As Slay News recently reported, these methods have now started being deployed around the world as part of efforts to promote “global cooling.”
Gates’s radical plan was officially launched last week as scientists began pumping chemicals into the sky.
The idea, promoted by Gates and leftist billionaire George Soros, involves pumping manmade white clouds into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the planet’s surface.
The radical scheme would lower the planet’s temperature and allegedly “combat global warming.”
Soros claims the technology will help to prevent ice sheets from melting.
“Our civilization is in danger of collapsing because of the inexorable advance of climate change,” Soros warned while announcing investments in Sun-blocking schemes.
As Slay News has previously reported, Gates has long been advocating for the plan to fight “global warming” using experimental geoengineering to block the Sun.
The method pushed by Bill Gates involves increasing aerosol concentrations in the stratosphere to reflect solar radiation away from the Earth.
JOIN THE FIGHT - DONATE TO SLAY NEWS TODAY!
Gates has been funding a major project at Harvard using balloons to deploy aerosols.
Unfortunately for Gates, his Harvard project was shut down following pushback from the public over the plan.
Nevertheless, another group of scientists has now been advancing Gates’s plan, the Wall Street Journal is reporting.
The scientists are injecting reflective particles into the sky, dumping chemicals in the ocean, and spraying saltwater in the air in a desperate effort to stop or reverse “climate change.”
These geoengineering approaches were once considered taboo by scientists and regulators who feared that tinkering with the environment could have unintended consequences.
However, researchers are now receiving taxpayer funds and private investments to advance Gates’s ideas for “global cooling.”
Some critics claim that the use of aerosols in our stratosphere could make climate change worse, damage the ozone layer, or pose other unknown health concerns.
The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative warned that if the process suddenly stopped, it “could cause rapid temperature rise that would be disruptive to human society and be dangerous for many species.”
Other risks include changes to rain patterns, UV levels, animal life cycles, and plant growth.
Others, like Daniel Schrag, director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, admit that the idea of blocking out the Sun could be a terrible idea — but still insist that it’s needed.
“Doing this sounds like a terrible idea, and it may be a terrible idea — except for the alternative, which is that we’re going to let the Earth roast,” Schrag said last year.

Trudeau: ‘Independent Media Threatens To Destroy WEF Agenda’
Fact checked
February 22, 2024 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, World 31 Comments
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned that independent media outlets represent a threat to the WEF’s Great Reset agenda that the global elites are working so hard to implement.
“There is out there a deliberate undermining of mainstream propaganda,” Trudeau declared on Wednesday in an interview with Real Talk Ryan Jespersen.
“There are the conspiracy theorists, there are the social media drivers who are trying to do everything they can to keep people in their little filter bubbles that prevent people from actually agreeing on a common set of facts the way CBC and CTV, when they were our only sources of news, used to project across the country.”
Infowars.com reports: Trust in the mainstream media, which was already on the decline, cratered amid the COVID-19 plandemic as they constantly pushed false government narratives, such as the experimental mRNA vaccine being safe and effective and that the coronavirus came from a wet market in Wuhan, China.
The fake news and propaganda dissemination by the mainstream media was so insidious and blatant that a Gallup poll last year found at least half of Americans believed the media was deliberately misleading them.
That may help explain why mainstream media outlets, from CNN to the Washington Post, are issuing widespread layoffs across the board in recent months.
It would also explain why the establishment is hellbent on passing laws criminalizing dissenting viewpoints under the guise of combatting “misinformation” surrounding COVID, the mRNA vaccines, the Ukraine war, and more.

Yemen's Houthis Now Have Drone Submarines, Likely From Iran
by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Feb 21, 2024 - 01:00 AM
Yemen's Iran-linked Houthis have already been deploying both aerial and sea drones (or boat/surface drones) against international vessels and warships in the Red Sea, alongside ballistic missiles. The last several days have seen direct hits on commercial tankers, as we've detailed.
But there are new reports the Houthis have yet another 'toy' in their arsenal, with help from Iran, and it has been used in attacks this past weekend: an unmanned submarine. "The U.S. conducted what it called self-defense strikes on five targets in the Houthi-controlled area of Yemen after the Houthis employed an unmanned submarine for the first time since attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden began, the Pentagon said," according to ABC, detailing events which happened Sunday.
So far, the US-led coalition has had to defend primarily against surface boat drones, which are easier to spot, but now the Houthis have something harder to detect in their ongoing war on Red Sea shipping in response to Israel's war in Gaza.
ABC News national security and defense analyst Mick Mulroy, who formerly worked at the CIA and the Pentagon, has described that the Houthis are escalating their efforts to strike a US warship.
"The Houthis and the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] are adjusting their strategy, apparently because they haven't been successful in striking a U.S. naval vessel," Mulroy said. "If one or more of these weapons get through and kill U.S. sailors, Iran should expect to be held directly responsible."
"The Houthis are not likely capable of manufacturing these weapons on their own, so they are probably coming from Iran," he explained, and went on to describe the Houthi strategy as seeking to "overwhelm the ship's defenses" in a "swarm attack."
Thus it appears the Houthis are now capable of mounting more sophisticated, multi-dimensional attacks by air, water's surface, and from under the water.
It was only in December of last year that Iranian state media unveiled the domestic development of the country's first underwater drone (UUV):
The homegrown UUV, also known as an underwater drone that can operate without a human occupant, was unveiled in an exhibition of the Iranian Navy’s achievements on Saturday.
The underwater vehicle can discover and terminate various underwater mines by carrying a wide range of equipment. The Iranian UUV can go as deep as 200 meters with an endurance of 24 hours.
Since the Persian Gulf is relatively shallow, it may contain a series of underwater mines laid at depths of 10 to 50 meters, which could cause serious damage to vessels as heavy as 250 tons.
#BREAKING HOUTHIS HAVE SUBMARINE DRONES
US CENTCOM: "The Houthis used a drone submarine for the first time since the start of their attacks."

— Dailyfusenews (@dailyfusenews) February 18, 2024
Recent reports from the region say that Iran's navy has at least one spy ship operating in the Red Sea area. Previously US officials said the spy ship is likely assisting the Houthis with targeting information.
If these fresh reports that Tehran is supplying the Houthis with underwater drones are true, there's a likelihood that the drones could be assisted from Iranian reconnaissance assets in the region.

Businessmen Say They Will No Longer Invest in New York After Justice Engoron’s Trump Ruling
The justice’s finding that former President Donald Trump is liable for fraud has some investors taking their business elsewhere.
Some real estate investors are losing interest in investing in the Big Apple after New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s staggering ruling last week in a civil fraud case against President Donald Trump.
President Trump and Trump Organization executives were ordered on Feb. 16 to pay $355 million in fines, plus interest, after Justice Engoron found them liable for inflating the values of their assets to obtain better rates from lenders and insurers.
The judge also barred the former president and his sons from managing their businesses in New York for three years.
“I’m shocked at this. I can’t even understand or fathom the decision at all. There’s no rationale for it,” “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary told Fox Business on Feb. 19.
The Canadian businessman, often called “Mr. Wonderful,” described New York as a “mega loser state” for business.
“New York was already a loser state, like California’s a loser state,” he said. “There are many loser states because of policy, high taxes, uncompetitive regulation. It was already on the top of the list of being a loser state. I would never invest in New York now.”
opportunities.
“Those are winner states. They don’t do things like this.”
President Trump expressed appreciation for Mr. O’Leary’s comments in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“Kevin O’Leary is so great, and tells it like it is,” he wrote. “Businesses will flee NYC & State after the Corrupt Judge’s ruling!”
And at least one other investor is doing just that.
Grant Cardone, a private equity fund manager and owner of real estate investment firm Cardone Capital, said he was considering investing in New York before Justice Engoron’s ruling.
“CardoneCapital just started to research real estate investments in New York believing it was time to get into the market,” Mr. Cardone said in an X post. “After the over reach [sic.] by the judge in the Trump case & penalties imposed of $355M I told them team do NOT waste time in New York.”
The real estate mogul added that his companies would now be doubling their efforts in Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Tennessee instead.
Mr. Cardone’s comments follow his wife’s creation of a GoFundMe campaign to help raise the $355 million President Trump was fined. More than $660,000 has been raised in the four days since the fundraiser was launched.
“I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York,” Elena Cardone wrote on the GoFundMe webpage. “The recent legal battles he faces are not just an attack on him but an attack on the very ideals of fairness and due process that every American deserves.”
Ms. Cardone also stressed that the purpose of the fundraiser was to defend not only the 45th president but all businesses against “a system that increasingly seeks to penalize dissent and curb our freedoms.”
President Trump’s latest fine adds to the more than $83 million in damages he was recently ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll in a defamation case over his denials that he sexually assaulted her. He has pledged to appeal both rulings as he simultaneously fends off four criminal indictments.
The former president maintains that all of his current legal troubles are nothing more than an attempt by Democrats to thwart his campaign to reclaim the White House.
In a Truth Social post, he reiterated that belief and called for an immediate end to “all political prosecutions” against him.
“I should not have to go through any fake prosecutions before the election,” he wrote in all caps on Feb. 19. “This is communism, and a threat to democracy. Our country will not stand for it. Make America great again!!!”

Proposed Canadian law could see Christians jailed for quoting the Bible
If the Bloc Quebecois Bill C-367 passes, religious exemptions under the 'hate speech' section of the Criminal Code would be removed, which could see Christians arrested for quoting Scripture or publicly voicing opposition to sin.
Tue Feb 20, 2024 - 12:28 pm EST
Send an urgent message to Canadian legislators urging them to stop more online censorship laws
(Campaign Life Coalition) — Should Christians be arrested for quoting portions of the Bible in public? Should pastors be charged with a “hate crime” when they preach against certain sins? Should churches be closed if the government does not approve of their beliefs?
You might think these are ridiculous questions. After all, this is Canada – the “true north strong and free”! Our national motto is “a mari usque ad mare,” quoted from Psalm 72:8, which says that Christ shall have dominion “from sea to sea.” This is not communist China!
However, with the introduction of Bill C-367, all these questions are on the table. I call this bill the “Closet the Christians Bill,” because that is exactly what it intends to do – put Christians in the closet. Under threat of jail-time, it will silence believers who oppose the woke ideology that is overrunning our country.
This repressive, Christophobic proposal from Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet is currently before Parliament and may be voted on shortly. If the Trudeau Liberals support this bill, it will most certainly pass, striking a fatal blow against freedom of religion and freedom of expression in this Dominion.
We need to speak up while we still can and call on our Members of Parliament to reject Bill C-367. You can do that right now via our Action Alert Email page.
Christians know the Bible is a powerful book. As someone once said, “When you open your Bible, God opens His mouth.” It is a book full of hope, wisdom, peace, and God’s message of salvation. However, the Bible is also a book of warning and correction for those who wander astray. It’s a book that tells us: “Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways!’” (Ezekiel 33:11).
For some people in Canada, the Bible’s message is an affront to their lifestyle and pride. They don’t want to hear it, their consciences can’t tolerate it, and they will try to silence those who proclaim it.
For example, LGBT activists have gone after one courageous Christian named Bill Whatcott for many years, whom they accuse of “hate crimes” against homosexuals. When he handed out leaflets that warned about the medical and spiritual dangers of LGBT practices at the Toronto “pride parade” in 2016, those LGBT activists were furious. They clamoured for his arrest in 2018 under the government of Kathleen Wynne, who was then-premier of Ontario and an open lesbian.
Mr. Whatcott went to trial two years later and was finally found not guilty in December of 2021. However, the government of Doug Ford has appealed his acquittal and is continuing to prosecute Mr. Whatcott for sharing what the Bible says about sexual sin.
A number of Canadian pastors have also faced “hate crime” charges for their public witness against sexual immorality and child sexualization. Pastor Derek Reimer and Pastor David Lynn are just two examples, both of whom were vindicated from the accusation of “hate.”
So far, “hate crime” charges against Christians have been very difficult to prove because of an important protection in our Canadian Criminal Code. There is a “religious exemption” in Section 319 that states: “No person shall be convicted of a [hate crime] offense… if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”
In other words, if you are saying what the Bible says about sexuality, gender, marriage, family, or anything – no matter how unpopular, offensive, or “hateful” it might sound to someone else, you have the freedom to express yourself under Canadian law. Christians have the right to quote the Bible in Canada.
But if Bill C-367 passes, that protection will be removed from the Criminal Code. We will then expect to see a flurry of charges against pastors, churches, Christian organizations, and ordinary believers who dare to speak the truth in love in the public square. This will, in turn, create a chilling effect that will diminish everyone’s freedom of speech.
No longer will we be allowed to share God’s design for human sexuality and marriage in public. No longer will we be able to speak out in the name of God against drag shows for kids, child drag, or child “sex changes.” All this could be misconstrued as “hate speech” against the LGBT community. Even our pro-life message could be spun as a “hate crime” against women.
Christians may possibly be charged for claiming that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), because it discriminates against other religions. In fact, to criticize the teachings and practices of other religions may be tantamount to a “hate crime!” Will pastors who refuse to comply be hauled off to prison from their pulpits?
The ostensible reason for Bill C-367 is the recent rise in antisemitic demonstrations in Canada. Some politicians would claim extremists are being allowed to call for the annihilation of the Jews because our Criminal Code protects religious speech, so religious speech must be silenced. But, really, this is just an excuse for an opportunistic attack on the religious freedom of Christians (and other faiths too).
But is the answer to antisemitic rhetoric in Canada the elimination of everyone’s religious freedom? Rather, if the government truly believes that someone is advocating or promoting the annihilation of Jews, should it not enforce existing laws which already make that illegal? It is already illegal to advocate genocide according to Section 318 of the Criminal Code! Clearly, this proposal is just a cynical attack on people of faith by the anti-religious Bloc Québécois leader.
In fact, if Bill C-367 were to pass, I can almost guarantee you that antisemitic demonstrations would still be permitted to continue as “political” protests, while the changes to the Criminal Code would be used to prosecute Christian pastors and laypeople for proclaiming Bible-based truths about sexual morality. In time, Jewish rabbis and Muslim imams would not be exempt, and they would also come under the hammer of the state.
No, Bill C-367 is a dangerous threat to every citizen’s freedom of expression and religion. It will only serve the nefarious agenda of pro-LGBT activists and Christophobic politicians who want to impose their woke ideology on our country and silence all opposition.
Bill C-367 must be stopped, and we need your help to stop it! Take a moment to send an Action Alert Email to your Member of Parliament today and ask him or her to stand up for our right to share our Christian values and beliefs in the public square.
If we want to keep Canada free – both for ourselves and our children – we need to speak up now.

Lack of rain leaves Italy gasping
Rome (AFP) – A blanket of smog covers Milan, empty reservoir bake in Sicily and wine production is down in Piedmont as a lack of rain across Italy exacerbates pollution and sparks droughts.
Issued on: 20/02/2024 - 13:59 2 min
Gas-guzzling cars were banned from roads on Tuesday in Milan and eight other cities across Lombardy after the northern Italian industrial region registered high levels of particle pollution that is dangerous for health.
The region, home to many intensive livestock farms, also banned the customary spraying of animal waste onto fields, a practice that causes high nitrate pollution.
Northern Italy has ranked among the most polluted areas in Europe for many years.
Part of Lombardy's problem is geographic -- it sits in a basin between mountains, which means it is poorly ventilated.
But clean air campaigners say this handicap is too often used as an excuse by authorities for high levels of air pollution.
High particulate levels were also registered in the capital, Rome.
Regions across Italy are suffering drought or severe lack of rainfall.
Snow levels were down in both the Alps and Apennines.
The Italian snow water equivalent -- the equivalent amount of water stored in the snow pack -- is down 64 percent this month compared to a year earlier, according to the CIMA Research Foundation.
-Bees waking up early -
The lack of rainfall is aggravating an already difficult situation, following heatwaves last year which lowered reservoir levels and drove up water consumption.
Sicily declared a natural disaster over drought earlier this month, while on the island of Sardinia, farmers are limited in how much water they can use.
Reservoir levels there are down 23 percent compared to the average over the last 14 years.
The southern regions of Puglia and Basilicata are also suffering, with farmers' association Coldiretti warning this weekend that warm temperatures have woken thousands of bees early.
This threatens the pollination of some crops because the bees are out of sync with the flowering period of plants from which they gather pollen.
Meanwhile Piedmont in the northwest asked the agricultural ministry on Monday to declare a natural disaster for drought in the region, saying it has affected vineyards and caused "significant" drops in wine production.
Experts say climate change driven by human activity is boosting the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts and wildfires.
Planet-heating emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, have risen in recent years. Scientists say they need to fall by almost half this decade.

New Documents Show Government-Funded AI Intended for Online Censorship: They Can Then Use the Same Tool to Suppress, Silence, and Shut Down Whatever Speech They Don’t Like
Jack Metir technology February 20, 2024 7 Minutes
I feel scared. Very scared.
Internet-wide surveillance and censorship, enabled by the unimaginably vast computational power of artificial intelligence (AI), is here.
This is not a futuristic dystopia. It’s happening now.
Government agencies are working with universities and nonprofits to use AI tools to surveil and censor content on the Internet.
This is not political or partisan. This is not about any particular opinion or idea.
What’s happening is that a tool powerful enough to surveil everything that’s said and done on the Internet (or large portions of it) is becoming available to the government to monitor all of us, all the time. And, based on that monitoring, the government – and any organization or company the government partners with – can then use the same tool to suppress, silence, and shut down whatever speech it doesn’t like.
But that’s not all. Using the same tool, the government and its public-private, “non-governmental” partners (think, for example: the World Health Organization, or Monsanto) can also shut down any activity that is linked to the Internet. Banking, buying, selling, teaching, learning, entertaining, connecting to each other – if the government-controlled AI does not like what you (or your kids!) say in a tweet or an email, it can shut down all of that for you.
Yes, we’ve seen this on a very local and politicized scale with, for example, the Canadian truckers.
But if we thought this type of activity could not, or would not, happen on a national (or even scarier – global) scale, we need to wake up right now and realize it’s happening, and it might not be stoppable.
MUST WATCH! THE HUNGER GAME HAS BEGUN: THE ELITE HAVE BEGUN THEIR FULL SCALE EXECUTION AND DECIMATION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS! FAMINE OF GODS WORD IN AMERICAS PULPITS ,WILL LEAD TO LITERAL FAMINE AND STARVATION IN THE U.S.A
New Documents Show Government-Funded AI Intended for Online Censorship
The US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was formed in January 2023 “to investigate matters related to the collection, analysis, dissemination, and use of information on US citizens by executive branch agencies, including whether such efforts are illegal, unconstitutional, or otherwise unethical.”
Unfortunately, the work of the committee is viewed, even by its own members, as largely political: Conservative lawmakers are investigating what they perceive to be the silencing of conservative voices by liberal-leaning government agencies.
Nevertheless, in its investigations, this committee has uncovered some astonishing documents related to government attempts to censor the speech of American citizens.
These documents have crucial and terrifying all-of-society implications.
In the Subcommittee’s interim report, dated February 5, 2024, documents show that academic and nonprofit groups are pitching a government agency on a plan to use AI “misinformation services” to censor content on internet platforms.
Specifically, the University of Michigan is explaining to the National Science Foundation (NSF) that the AI-powered tools funded by the NSF can be used to help social media platforms perform censorship activities without having to actually make the decisions on what should be censored.
Here’s how the relationship is visualized in the Subcommittee’s report:
Here’s a specific quote presented in the Subcommittee’s report. It comes from “Speaker’s notes from the University of Michigan’s first pitch to the National Science Foundation (NSF) about its NSF-funded, AI-powered WiseDex tool.” The notes are on file with the committee.
Our misinformation service helps policy makers at platforms who want to…push responsibility for difficult judgments to someone outside the company…by externalizing the difficult responsibility of censorship.
This is an extraordinary statement on so many levels:
It explicitly equates “misinformation service” with censorship.
This is a crucial equation, because governments worldwide are pretending to combat harmful misinformation when in fact they are passing massive censorship bills. The WEF declared “misinformation and disinformation” the “most severe global risks” in the next two years, which presumably means their biggest efforts will go toward censorship.
When a government contractor explicitly states that it is selling a “misinformation service” that helps online platforms “externalize censorship” – the two terms are acknowledged as being interchangeable.
It refers to censorship as a “responsibility.”
In other words, it assumes that part of what the platforms should be doing is censorship. Not protecting children from sex predators or innocent citizens from misinformation – just plain and simple, unadulterated censorship.
It states that the role of AI is to “externalize” the responsibility for censorship.
The Tech platforms do not want to make censorship decisions. The government wants to make those decisions but does not want to be seen as censoring. The AI tools allow the platforms to “externalize” the censorship decisions and the government to hide its censorship activities.
All of this should end the illusion that what governments around the world are calling “countering misinformation and hate speech” is not straight-up censorship.
What Happens When AI Censorship is Fully Implemented?
Knowing that the government is already paying for AI censorship tools, we have to wrap our minds around what this entails.
No manpower limits: As the Subcommittee report points out, the limits to government online censorship have, up to now, involved the large numbers of humans required to go through endless files and make censorship decisions. With AI, barely any humans need to be involved, and the amount of data that can be surveilled can be as vast as everything anyone says on a particular platform. That amount of data is incomprehensible to an individual human brain.
No one is responsible: One of the most frightening aspects of AI censorship is that when AI does it, there is no human being or organization – be it the government, the platforms, or the university/nonprofits – who is actually responsible for the censorship. Initially, humans feed the AI tool instructions for what categories or types of language to censor, but then the machine goes ahead and makes the case-by-case decisions all by itself.
No recourse for grievances: Once AI is unleashed with a set of censorship instructions, it will sweep up gazillions of online data points and apply censorship actions. If you want to contest an AI censorship action, you will have to talk to the machine. Maybe the platforms will employ humans to respond to appeals. But why would they do that, when they have AI that can automate those responses?
No protection for young people: One of the claims made by government censors is that we need to protect our children from harmful online information, like content that makes them anorexic, encourages them to commit suicide, turns them into ISIS terrorists, and so on. Also from sexual exploitation. These are all serious issues that deserve attention. But they are not nearly as dangerous to vast numbers of young people as AI censorship is.
The danger posed by AI censorship applies to all young people who spend a lot of time online, because it means their online activities and language can be monitored and used against them – maybe not now, but whenever the government decides to go after a particular type of language or behavior. This is a much greater danger to a much greater number of children than the danger posed by any specific content, because it encompasses all the activity they conduct online, touching on nearly every aspect of their lives.
Here’s an example to illustrate this danger: Let’s say your teenager plays lots of interactive video games online. Let’s say he happens to favor games designed by Chinese companies. Maybe he also watches others play those games, and participates in chats and discussion groups about those games, in which a lot of Chinese nationals also participate.
The government may decide next month, or next year, that anyone heavily engaged in Chinese-designed video games is a danger to democracy. This might result in shutting down your son’s social media accounts or denying him access to financial tools, like college loans. It might also involve flagging him on employment or dating websites as dangerous or undesirable. It might mean he is denied a passport or put on a watchlist.
Your teenager’s life just got a lot more difficult. Much more difficult than if he was exposed to an ISIS recruitment video or suicide-glorifying TikTok post. And this would happen on a much larger scale than the sexual exploitation the censors are using as a Trojan Horse for normalizing the idea of online government censorship.
Monetize-able censorship services: An AI tool owned by the government can theoretically be used by a non-governmental entity with the government’s permission, and with the blessing of the platforms that want to “externalize” the “responsibility” for censorship. So while the government might be using AI to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-war sentiment – a company could use it to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-fast food sentiment. The government could make a lot of money selling the services of the AI tools to 3rd parties. The platforms could also conceivably ask for a cut. Thus, AI censorship tools can potentially benefit the government, tech platforms, and private corporations. The incentives are so powerful, it’s almost impossible to imagine that they will not be exploited.
Can We Reverse Course?
I do not know how many government agencies and how many platforms are using AI censorship tools. I do not know how quickly they can scale up.
I do not know what tools we have at our disposal – other than raising awareness and trying to lobby politicians and file lawsuits to prevent government censorship and regulate the use of AI tools on the internet.
If anyone has any other ideas, now would be the time to implement them.

It's All Falling apart So Quickly I Can't Keep up!
All major banks rumbling, Fed tightening beyond all expectations, Magnificent-Seven stocks tumbling, fears of Volmageddon 2.0, junk bonds getting junkier, war blowing inflation upward.

Today’s news is so flooded with stories that show the trends I’ve teen warning about that I can’t even begin to cover them all in the time I have to read through the news, organize it and then write an editorial. So, I’m going to go through them in a rather staccato style to give the thrust of each story. Maybe I’ll have more time to come back to some of the detail in next weekend’s Deeper Dive.
Here goes:
Serious bank troubles are brewing in major banks
While Fitch today said that the sizes of the 49 small banks that are most heavily exposed to bad commercial real-estate (CRE) loans are small enough to limit their contagion, 49 is a lot, and another article today points out that the largest banks in American now have more more bad CRE debt in arrears than they have reserves, and that risk has grown rapidly. Here’s the gist of it:
At the largest US banks, bad commercial real estate loans have surpassed loss reserves, spurred by a significant uptick in late payments associated with offices, shopping centers, and other properties.
According to filings with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the average reserves at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley have decreased from $1.60 to 90 cents for every dollar of commercial real estate debt where a borrower is at least 30 days overdue.
This sharp decline occurred over the past year, with delinquent commercial property debt for the six major banks nearly tripling to $9.3 billion.
Wow! That is a rapid build-up of actual trouble, not potential trouble. These are all loans that are already overdue, not just risky. Wish I had time to say more, but I’ve got so much to cover. Forget the worry over the 49 little banks in trouble. The top-six biggest banks don’t look too hot!
More say Fed UP
As we get to this point of reserves, held in the form of US Treasuries, are being crushed down in value due to Fed tightening to where bank reserves no longer cover the amount banks hold in just CRE loans that are not being paid on time (not to mention all the other loans in other industries on top of that!), yet another voice (actually two) came online today to agree with what was an outlandish proclamation when I made it on Goldseek Radio just a couple of weeks ago (and again in an interview with them this week, which I’ll post a link to when it’s ready.)
Bloomberg, of all publications to print something that agrees with my most outlandish suggestion (in the eyes of others but completely reasonable to me when I made it), says today that markets, not just individuals, are starting to speculate that the Fed’s next move might actually be … UP! Two weeks ago that was an eyebrow-raising claim when I made it. Now, we read the following in Bloomberg:
Markets start to speculate if the next Fed move is up, not down
Investors are beginning to war-game how the Federal Reserve can manage a US economy that just won’t land, with some even debating whether interest-rate hikes will be needed only weeks after a steady run of reductions appeared all but certain.
“All but certain” to everyone but me (and I suppose some of those who read here, but I think many here would have thought I was nuts to say that, if the Fed makes any move, it will be up). As you know, I never bought into the Fed pivot fantasy even though, as far as I could tell, almost everyone believed that narrative.
Bets on lower rates coming soon were so prevalent a few weeks ago that Fed Chair Jerome Powell publicly cautioned that policymakers were unlikely to be in position to cut as of March. Less than three weeks later, traders have not only removed March as a possibility but May also looks improbable, and even conviction about the June Fed meeting is wavering, swaps trading shows.
What did I say when the majority of marketeers were moved from speculation on March cuts to May rate cuts to starting to speculate on June? I said, “Even June might be ambitious.” Here we are already, and some are starting to see the truth of what probably also sounded outrageous when I first put it out there a couple of weeks ago and again in the last few days.
Bill Dudley also says the central bank may have to tighten more. In another story today one of the nation’s longtime central bankers admits that, yes, the Fed may have to tighten, not just longer but HIGHER. It depends on how much the rising stock market and bond values have loosened financial conditions.
There’s a lot more I’d like to say on that, but I need to move on…
Biggest, best stocks most imperil entire market
Bill Bonner and John Hussman point out a highly likely major market top. Bonner just came out with an article, quoting Hussman, in which Hussman’s charts parallel most of the main concerns I brought together in my last Deeper Dive about the market looking very close to an extremely perilous top.
Based on dozens of measures that include valuations, internals, overextension syndromes, and numerous technical, fundamental, and cyclical gauges we’ve developed over time, we estimate that current market conditions now ‘cluster’ among the worst 0.1% instances in history – more similar to major market peaks and dissimilar to major market lows than 99.9% of all post-war periods.
The Big Loss threat today is in the stock market…and specifically, in the Magnificent 7 that dominate the top of the performance listings….
“I call this the ‘Cluster of Woe’ because the handful of similarly extreme instances (most notably in 1972, 1987, 1998, 2000, 2018, 2020, and 2022) were typically followed by abrupt market losses….
The Mag 7 is same area of concern I called attention to in my Deeper Dive before those stocks started wobbling, but moving right along because look at today’s news:
Magnificent seven start to crash? That’s how I tagged one of the story headlines because that is what the story suggests may now just be starting. Here’s the actual headline and a brief excerpt from the story:
Nvidia On Track For Historic Loss.…
Its morning sell-off amounted to a loss of more than $100 billion in market capitalization, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It would easily top the $56.24 billion loss suffered May 31, 2023.
Yes, HISTORIC loss of one of the top leading stocks in the group where just a weekend ago I was saying a serious down move in that group could bring the market indices down once some of the top-seven start to slide (because they are the only stock making the new highs and pushing the major indices up. “Historic!” So, that’s a serious down move!
Hardly expected by most because …
On Monday last week, shares rose to an all-time high Of 746.11.
Nvidia’s spiraling shares rallied later in the day to end a “mere” 5% down, but it was quite a dive, showing how quickly the Mag 7 could crash. And was it because Nvidia reported shocking problems? No! It didn’t even make its report yet. In fact everyone was anticipating a really good report as they sold off. It’s just that suddenly they doubted it would be as good as the lunatic market needed to hear in order to justify the insane stratosphere into which the market has priced Nvidea! They lost faith in a report that wasn’t even out yet! That is how wobbly belief is becoming in the market leaders. It was a case of a good reality not likely living up to an outrageous fantasy. It was more like the market looked down like ol’ Wile E. Coyote and suddenly saw nothing under their positions but desert air.
But on the to the next news …
Whispers of Volmageddon 2.0
Stock market gamblers betting on low volatility are nearly panicking that volatility might not stay so low. Back in 2018 a market heavily stacked on bets that volatility in stocks would stay low got plowed under when volatility spiked.
Some on Wall Street see risks akin to the 'Volmageddon' panic.
Sure the article notes that some investors don’t believe that will happen because they think stock investors have learned their lesson. Well, of course! There are always plenty of greedy investors at market tops willing to go longer on vapid stupidity! So, let’s look at the ones who are finally smartening up. Maybe they’ll make it out the exit in time, but they may not have long because the history behind this story is another example of how quickly a major market top can arrive and turn ugly—a lesson from 2018:
A popular trade that triggered a historic [There’s that word again.] market meltdown back in 2018 made a comeback last year, as one barometer of its performance logged its best year in six.
But as with any successful trade on Wall Street, some derivatives-market experts now fear that shorting volatility, or being "short vol," has become overcrowded, increasing the risk that a sudden spike in the Cboe Volatility Index VIX, or the VIX, could spark a selloff that might send the S&P 500 tumbling.
Market veterans likely remember the short-vol trade for triggering a market meltdown in early February 2018. The incident, known on Wall Street as "Volmageddon," saw the VIX more than double in a day, causing a short-lived but painful selloff in the broader stock market.
But this market is way more overpriced, so once something this top-heavy starts sliding down the slope, you may not be able to contain that avalanche.
Traders fret about a looming unwind.
They should.
Some traders see signs that such a dynamic might already be playing out….
To be sure, rising demand for insurance against a market crash could be a sign that investors are growing increasingly nervous that the top-heavy market could be about to topple over as Nvidia Corp….
I’d love to go deeper into the peculiar Nvidia rollover today; but, again, so much other powerful stuff to cover, so time to move on :
“Junk bonds are getting junkier!”
That’s the news, as stated, in another story today. Junk bonds are getting riskier as credit quality erodes. Always good news to hear that junk bonds are now at the point of getting crushed under Fed tightening at a time when the Fed is now being pressed to tighten longer and maybe higher by inflation that …. well, we’ll come to inflation’s prospects in a minute. First, the junk bonds:
The $1.4 trillion US junk-bond market is getting junkier, as more debt gets … downgraded … leaving greater potential risks for investors….
Pandemic-fueled “seismic changes” that altered the mix of the high-yield market are now reversing, according to Barclays Plc strategists.
I always love to hear the term “seismic changes” when talking about downgrades in major credit markets. When formerly positive “seismic changes” reverse, that can certainly move a mountain of debt into collapse. In other words, what was a seismic move one way easily has the mass to be a seismic move the other way when it turns over.
“Index quality is beginning to deteriorate,” the Barclays strategists wrote. “This shouldn’t change the outlook for default amounts in notional terms, but it does make the case that default rates could be higher.”
Good to know. Moving on in today’s news …
War, wars, and more wars are blowing inflation sky high
Remember me forecasting that the Red Sea War (time to name it now that the admiral of the US Navy just stated it is the largest active US naval engagement since WWII!) would likely grow scale and extend in duration to the point where it would bring back the kinds of shortages and port congestion we saw during the Covid lockdowns as well as the price pressure that come with shortages? I explained why that congestion would likely occur. (Nothing like rarity to raise the price of something!) Well, we’re already there according to another article today:
Container Lines Grappling with Port Congestion and Ship Shortages
Container shipping lines are encountering significant challenges as port congestion and ship shortages persist amidst the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea, which has extended into its third month. Jeremy Nixon, the chief executive of Ocean Network Express (ONE) in Japan, a key figure in the sector, highlighted the predicament faced by many shipping lines due to scheduling issues stemming from the Red Sea crisis.
The article lays out the details, but for my rapid rundown today, suffice it to say the port backups and shortages I anticipated are solidly here! So is the producer inflation that causes consumer inflation. Transportation rates are now the highest they’ve been in the three months this war has been raging, according to another story today. Prices for shipping crude have tripled from where they were in December.
One of the economists I often like to quote points out how inflation ain’t over till the fat lady sings, and he says she certainly hasn’t sung yet, what with this new tune floating over the Red Sea and one of the key indicators he looks at to see when inflation is going down for good. Inflation, he says, put in a sharp decline in 2023, but that is turning around just like all those tankers and cargo ships that turned from their customary Red Sea route to navigate far around the Cape of Good Hope.
Crude oil prices and gasoline have been rising recently; WTI is back to nearly $80. And durable goods prices cannot drop forever either, though they can drop for a while longer, given how high they’d spiked. If energy and durable goods prices just stall, overall inflation will accelerate faster because those two big categories are then no longer a counterweight to services. If energy prices and durable goods prices begin to rise again, then all bets are off…. So now we’re contemplating a scenario where inflation is accelerating again.
Well, guess what? Energy prices are rising again due to the Red Sea War, which I had warned would likely happen and would drive inflation up more quickly (being the main thing that brought it down quickly when prices went the other way), and that battle rages on because, as another story says, …
The Houthis are stepping up their attacks … now particularly focusing on American war ships.
Well, out of time, so much so that this edition had to come out late, but there it is now (all in a day’s news) finally put to bed, which is where I’m heading now.

3 Existential Threats That We Are Facing Right Now Which Could Potentially Result In Millions Of Dead Americans
February 18, 2024 by Michael
In recent years, there has been one enormous crisis after another. We live at a time of major wars, global pestilences and billion dollar natural disasters. Millions have died over the last several years, and I believe that millions more will die during the years ahead. In fact, there are several existential threats that we are facing right now which could potentially result in millions of dead Americans. I wish that I was exaggerating but I am not.
Throughout human history, great pestilences have killed millions of people many times.
Today, our scientists are taking some of the deadliest diseases ever known to humanity and are purposely trying to make them “more infectious”. Here is just one example…
The US government is spending $1million of American taxpayer money to fund experiments on dangerous bird flu viruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists.
The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious, and study the viruses’ potential to ‘jump into mammalian hosts,’ according to research documents.
It is being funded through the US Department of Agriculture and collaborating studies will take place at sites in Georgia, Beijing and Edinburgh in Scotland.
Are they insane?
According to the CDC, bird flu has a death rate of more than 50 percent in humans.
And these researchers want to make it “more infectious”?
As I have repeatedly warned my readers over the years, this type of research really is an existential threat to humanity.
It is way too easy for an accident to happen, and once a dangerous bug gets out it can spread around the globe in the blink of an eye.
And the head of the WHO is warning that the timing of the next great global outbreak is “a matter of when, not if”…
The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) made yet another warning of an impending “Disease X” outbreak, with Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus telling world leaders it is “a matter of when, not if.”
At the World Government Summit, held in Dubai from February 12-14, Ghebreyesus told attendees his previous predictions came to fruition in the form of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Now, the W.H.O. director believes a new pandemic, for which the international community is ill-prepared, is on the horizon.
Renewing urgent calls for a global pandemic treaty to be agreed upon by May, Ghebreyesus dismissed suspicions of the treaty being a W.H.O. power-grab and called it “mission critical for humanity.”
Of course strange diseases are already making headlines all over the globe.
Here in the U.S., we witnessed the first ever death from “Alaskapox” in late January…
An unidentified immunocompromised man died from “Alaskapox” in late January.
He lived in the woods of the Kenai Peninsula by himself, and it’s unclear how he contracted the virus.
Alaskapox – from the same genus as smallpox and monkeypox – was first discovered in 2015 in Fairbanks and is more common in small mammals.
This is the seventh human case overall, the first outside the Fairbanks area, and the first to lead to death.
And it is being reported that there is a confirmed case of the bubonic plague in Oregon…
The first case of the bubonic plague found in eight years in one US state has been found – and is said to have come from a cat.
Oregon health officer Richard Fawcett told NBC News that the patient who caught the disease from her pet, became “very sick”. Usually, this kind of infection starts with flu-like symptoms, such as tiredness, fever, chills, and a headache. But in Oregon, the infection had advanced to a draining abscess, called a “bubo”, which is unusual these days.
Let me switch gears and talk about another existential threat.
According to 60 Minutes, the number of migrants from China that are crossing our southern border has gotten 50 times higher over the past couple of years, and a very large proportion of them are “Chinese males of military age”…
War correspondent Michael Yon and the Rubin brothers of Muckraker.com have documented the presence of dangerous-looking elements — from China, Iran, Syria and Venezuela — among the hordes of migrants traveling up from Central America. Yon and the Rubins have noticed, among other things, that Chinese males of military age are traveling in packs of five to fifteen, are unaccompanied by family members, and are pretending not to speak English. Some of them, on their way to America, have performed Chinese military rituals.
The Chinese know that once they invade Taiwan there will be war with the United States.
Have they been preparing for such a conflict in advance?
Retired Air Force General Blaine Holt believes that is precisely what is happening…
“Tens of thousands of military-age men have come across our border and are now in America, organized by group and nationality” Holt told Gatestone this month. “Among them are terrorist and state actors, in particular, members of the People’s Liberation Army of China. As we speak, these actors are training, making plans and obtaining weapons, watching our patterns, and learning our vulnerabilities.”
“We are vulnerable to attack,” Holt added. “Our enemies eagerly wait.”
If a full-blown war with China erupts, vast numbers of Americans could potentially die.
Of course the same thing could be said about a full-blown war with Russia.
Dmitry Medvedev has warned us over and over again that the Russians will use nuclear weapons if they are pushed too far, and now he has issued perhaps his most ominous warning yet…
Dmitry Medvedev – a close Putin ally who served as president from 2008 to 2012 – said if a military defeat led to a return to the 1991 frontiers, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Moscow would unleash Armageddon.
‘Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing,’ he said. ‘Towards a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state. In Kyiv, Berlin, London, Washington.’
Hypersonic nuclear missiles would also strike ‘all other beautiful historical places that have long been included in the flight targets of our nuclear triad’.
He added: ‘Will we have the courage to do this if the disappearance of a thousand-year-old country, our great Motherland, is at stake, and the sacrifices made by the people of Russia over the centuries will be in vain? The answer is obvious.’
Why won’t our leaders take such threats seriously?
If a nuclear war happens, most of the U.S. population will not survive.
So perhaps we should see if there is any possible way to settle our differences with the Russians peacefully before someone crosses a line that will never be able to be uncrossed.
But instead, our leaders have decided that now is a great time for the most extensive NATO military exercises since the Cold War…
Aimed to prepare for a potential war with Russia, NATO’s Steadfast Defender exercises have become the alliance’s largest military drills since the Cold War, NATO’s Military Committee Chair, Admiral Rob Bauer, told the Financial Times.
The experience gained during the Steadfast Defender exercises is expected to form the basis for NATO’s plans to deploy and reinforce forces in Europe in case of war.
The exercises started on January 24 and will continue until the end of spring 2024.
This story is not going to end well.
But most of those in the general population do not understand anything that I have shared in this article.
They are just going to keep playing around and partying until time finally runs out.

Is China Sneaking Military Personnel into the U.S. Via Border? What We Know
Published Jun 16, 2023 at 12:28 PM EDT Updated Jun 19, 2023 at 3:03 AM EDT
The Republican Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee has said that it was "very likely" that "military personnel" were being inserted into the United States by China by crossing the southern land border.
Announcing an investigation into the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, over his role in the border crisis, Mark Green, a former U.S. Army serviceman and representative for Tennessee, claimed many of the Chinese nationals entering America were "military-age men," many of them having "known ties" to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People's Liberation Army (PLA).
It comes after Melissa Dalton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense, told the House Armed Services Committee in March that China, along with Russia, was now posing "more dangerous challenges to the safety and security of the U.S. homeland."
Both Dalton and Green cited the incident in February in which a Chinese spy balloon—which Beijing claims was a wayward weather balloon—passed over the continental U.S. before being shot down and recovered off the coast of South Carolina as a sign of this new threat.
During a press conference, Green noted that there had been "a massive surge in Chinese nationals" crossing the southern border, claiming "many of whom are military-age men, many with known ties to the PLA, ties to the CCP."
Public data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency shows 2023 has seen a spike in encounters of Chinese nationals at the southern land border compared to the previous years—when border crossings were overall lower due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
As of April, there had been a total of 9,854 encounters in the fiscal year-to-date, which runs from October to September, rising sharply from February. In 2022, there were 2,176 encounters.
While over 1,500 of these were individuals in a family unit, the vast majority (8,304) were single adults—though a breakdown of age and what proportion are male is not given. Neither has the government publicly stated if any were believed to have ties to Beijing.
Asked about the credibility of Green's claim, Rebecca Grant Ph.D., a national security analyst at IRIS Independent Research, told Newsweek that she personally believed it to be true, referencing the likelihood of some immigrants having ties to the Chinese state given the many Chinese nationals already in the U.S.—5.4 million in 2021, according to Migration Policy Institute figures.
"If you're a bad guy that wants to infiltrate operatives into the U.S.A., the southern border is a pretty easy way to do it," she added.
A Department of Homeland Security official told Newsweek that it used "biometric and biographical" information on those encountered at the border "to identify potential terrorists or criminals and prevent their release into the United States."
They stressed that "anyone who poses a national security or public safety threat is detained and not released into the United States."
When questioned on his source for the claims, Green said that he had heard it from a border sector chief, but declined to say more. However, he added: "We have a classified briefing on it in the very near future."
Newsweek approached CBP for comment regarding Green's claims via email on Friday.
Grant said that it was an area of national security where the intelligence community was "never going to give us public information," but "the fact that they're going to brief Congress on it tells me that there's something there."
Green also said that the alleged insertions were "very likely using Russia's template of sending military personnel into Ukraine," adding: "China is doing the same in the United States."
In March, a report by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank found that Moscow had embedded a "large agent network" within Ukraine prior to its invasion of the nation in 2022, in the midst of a destabilizing battle with Russian-backed separatists in the eastern Donbas region.
Grant said that those in the U.S. national intelligence industry "have not heard of a Chinese infiltration tactic like that," but argued that the opportunity presented by the southern border of entering the country illegally had also not been so exploited before.
CBP data shows there have nearly been as many border crossings by people of all nationalities in the first seven months of this fiscal year as in the whole of 2021, and that number appears on track to surpass levels for the past three years. According to NBC News, 2022 broke the previous annual record for border crossings by a million.
Amid a growing border crisis, there is stark division over the Biden administration's handling of the situation. After a Trump-era policy denying asylum seekers on health grounds expired, some have argued the government is not doing enough to stop undocumented migration, while others have said the system still remains too hardline.
Newsweek understands that Chinese nationals crossing the southern border are treated under the same framework as other nationalities, including being detained while undergoing immigration court proceedings if deemed to pose a risk to national security.
Grant also drew a distinction between the possible intentions of Russia's infiltration of Ukraine and the supposed infiltration of the U.S.
"We know Russia infiltrated political operatives in the Donbas, special forces maybe even up to and around Kyiv, and who knows what else. Russia did some very organized infiltration," she said.
"The China case is a little different, where you're looking not [to] infiltrate as a spearhead of a military force, but to augment their long-running espionage against the United States," the national security expert added. "It's not the beginning of a military operation necessarily, it's more probably an enhancement of their already pretty substantial espionage operations here."
However, she said that "deep insertions are a Russian spy tradecraft from way back," and the closer alliance between it and China that the invasion of Ukraine has spawned made it "entirely possible" that Beijing was "copycatting" Russian tactics.
Newsweek approached the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs via email for comment on Friday.

Source: PM weighing embrace of US plan for Palestinian state as part of Saudi deal
A diplomatic source told Israel Hayom that the delay in Netanyahu's response to the emerging US plan and the restrained language reflect an implicit understanding currently being in the works, under which the PM could indeed express opposition to unilateral recognition, but will agree to negotiations on a future settlement without preconditions.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering a de facto embrace of the American plan to recognize a Palestinian state in exchange for a historic breakthrough vis-à-vis Saudi Arabia, Israel Hayom has learned.
Follow Israel Hayom on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
According to the emerging plan, the Biden administration will unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. Israel will voice opposition and make it clear that an agreement that includes a Palestinian state will only be discussed through direct negotiations. By accepting the American move, Israel hopes to bring about a historic political breakthrough with Saudi Arabia a knowledgeable diplomatic source told Israel Hayom.
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that the Biden administration intends to formally recognize a Palestinian state within a few weeks. This elicited harsh criticism from many cabinet ministers who argued that creating such an entity would jeopardize Israel's security after the October 7 attack.
Netanyahu only issued a tepid rejection, and rather belatedly, and only on Thursday night.
On Saturday Netanyahu reiterated the remarks in a press briefing and said that "Israel flatly rejects international dictates regarding a permanent arrangement with the Palestinians. Such an arrangement will only be achieved through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions."
Netanyahu also said, "Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition, following the massacre of October 7, will grant an enormous prize to unprecedented terror and prevent any future peace settlement."
A diplomatic source told Israel Hayom that the delay in Netanyahu's response and the restrained language reflects an implicit understanding currently being in the works, under which the Biden administration under which Netanyahu could indeed express opposition to unilateral recognition, but will agree to negotiations on a future settlement without preconditions.
By taking such a de facto stance that is in line with the US, Netanyahu hopes the Americans will be able to convince the Saudis that Israel has taken significant steps to further the Palestinian cause. The reward for this will be Riyadh agreeing to a historic recognition of Israel.
Netanyahu has not yet made a final decision, but it is being seriously considered by him and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer who has been spearheading the talks with the Americans.
Israel has long opposed the idea of having Western countries unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. The assumption in Jerusalem is that such recognition would be a prize and would serve as a disincentive for the Palestinians to negotiate with Israel, as this would imply that the international community is extracting Israeli concessions unilaterally.
A diplomatic source said that if the American move goes ahead, it will deal a severe political blow. The source estimated that many Western countries will follow Washington and recognize a Palestinian state. However, the wording of the recognition is very important: whether it defines its territory and capital, who controls its security space, and other aspects.

'Hamas outside Palestinian consensus,' Egyptian minister says
Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry says there must be accountability for how Hamas acquired so much power, funding in Gaza to increase the rift with other 'peace loving Palestinian factions'
Lior Ben Ari|04:37
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that Hamas was outside the Palestinian consensus, in a press conference at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
<< Follow Ynetnews on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | TikTok >>
"There must be accountability for how Hamas acquired so much power in Gaza and why it was funded to increase the rift with other peace loving Palestinian factions," Shouky said in response to a question posed by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Despite unequivocal opposition by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to settle displaced Gazans in Egypt, Shoukry said that if Palestinians cross the border into the Sinai from the Gaza Strip, they would be treated by Egypt humanely. "It is not our intention to provide any safe areas or facilities, but if this was the case we would deal with the matter with in the humane way necessary."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in press conference on Saturday that the IDF offensive will continue until "absolute victory, including in Rafah."
Amid reports that Egypt is constructing an area that would house Gazan residents fleeing the fighting in its territory, Shoukry said this was a hypothetical. "We have constantly been dealing with maintenance on our border so I think it is jumping to conclusions to what those activities constitute."
The Governor of North Sinai said on Friday that the works being undertaken are for storage of humanitarian aid for Gaza and its construction near the border is meant to ease its transport into the Strip.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing official sources in Cairo, that the Egyptian authorities were concerned about an Israeli operation in the Rafah area, and therefore, a fortified compound was being built in the Sinai Peninsula on an area of about 13 square kilometers. According to those sources, the area being built can accommodate up to 100,000 people.
The governor denied the report although a photo of the wall around the compound built to receive at least 1.5 million refugees, who are now housed in tents in open areas near the coast.
Egyptian contractors building the compound near the Gaza border and erecting the wall claim that in the first stage, its height will be seven meters but would be raised further if necessary. Homes built by Bedouins living in the Sinai are to be demolished to make room for the compound and the contractors employed for the project were hired to rebuild some of the buildings destroyed in the war.
Israeli and American officials are likely in the know about the compound's construction and may have agreed to keep the matter quiet.

US & Arab States Plotting Imposed Peace Plan Upon Israel?
A scheme has been uncovered that apparently would involve announcing - unilaterally - a Palestinian state right away, and it is drawing a chorus of objections.
The Algemeiner website reported the proposed plan, described by the Washington Post, calls for "the withdrawal of many, if not all, settler communities on the West Bank; a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem; the reconstruction of Gaza; and security and governance arrangements for a combined West Bank and Gaza."
Stunningly, the action could involve "early U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state - even as elements of political reform, security guarantees for both Israel and the Palestinians, normalization and reconstruction are being implemented."
The discussion is stunning in that only in October, terrorists from Hamas, which works out of the Palestinian-controlled Gaza, invaded Israel and butchered some 1,200 civilians.
The scheme apparently is the work of the U.S. and several Arab states.
"In my speech yesterday in Berlin, I warned against the dangerous plan that is taking shape for unilateral international recognition of a Palestinian state," said Gideon Sa'ar, an Israeli lawmaker who is not part of the government coalition.
"This plan will not only not resolve the conflict but will make it intractable. The Palestinians will receive state recognition without paying the the price of compromise and they will continue the conflict from an upgraded position that will harm Israel's right to self-defense."
Israel, according to reports, would be left out of the process entirely.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been opposed to such a move.
"1,400 murdered and the world wants to give them a state. It won't happen," National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on social media.
"The intention of the U.S., together with the Arab states, to establish a terror state alongside the state of Israel is delusional and part of the misguided conception that there is a partner for peace on the other side... While we are in the government, no Palestinian state will be established."
The report said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said, "We will in no way agree to this plan, which actually says that the Palestinians deserve a reward for the terrible massacre they did to us: a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The message is that it pays very well to massacre Israeli citizens. A Palestinian state is an existential threat to the state of Israel as was proven on October 7, Kfar Saba will not be Kfar Aza!"
The news site also warned, the "overlooked 'elephant in the room': polls show that most of the Palestinian people don't actually want a two state solution at all, on any terms, or in any borders."
Hamas leaders have said it is unacceptable for them to be expected to recognize Israel in any form.
The report said "74.7% of Palestinians desire a Palestinian-only state that entirely supplants Israel, while 72% support the October 7 massacre, which, to be clear, included burning Israeli babies, beheading, mass rape, mass murder, and large scale kidnapping."

HARD DECISIONS USED TO LEAD TO AN EASY LIFE
I’ve seen the graphic below a few times over the last several weeks. I understand its message and have essentially tried to follow the hard decision path for most of my life, while imparting the same advice to my three sons. I’m sure they got sick of me telling them that no matter what amount you make, if you spend less than that amount, you will get ahead in life financially. Of course, this graphic is too simplistic to describe the real world, where medical misfortune, bad luck, bad investments, or bad people running the country can and do prevent many hard working honest families from ever achieving the “easy life”.
We all know life is never easy, but it can potentially be easier if you make enough right decisions along the way. The graphic reminds me of a quote sometimes attributed to John Wayne, “This life’s hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.” I think that captures the truth better than hard decisions lead to an easy life. It does seem the level of stupidity across the general populace has risen to astounding levels over the last couple decades.
I was lucky enough to join the full-time work force in 1986, when the country still had a growing economy and short-term hard decisions would usually lead to an easier life over the long-term. Neither of my parents graduated high school, but a father driving a gasoline truck for 40 years and a stay at home mom, could raise three kids in a 900 square foot row home in the suburbs outside Philadelphia, and they could all graduate college with little or no debt. Those days are long gone. My parents made hard decisions their entire lives, to make their kids lives better than theirs.
I think another name for “hard decisions” are decisions to delay gratification. For me, decisions about my career, kids, real estate, and not keeping up with the Joneses, constituted my hard decisions. Out of college, I put in two years at an accounting firm, even though I hated every minute, because I needed two years of CPA experience to get my CPA license. I didn’t want a CPA license other than to put it on my resume to get a good job with a corporation. I was 23 years old and wanting to have fun every weekend with my buddies, but I made the hard decision to spend 10 weeks totally dedicated to passing the CPA exam, and I did.
I knew an MBA was another stepping stone to a better paying job, so when the corporation I had joined made it clear an MBA was not valued there, I left and went somewhere it was valued. I then proceeded to work my full-time job, including many weekends, and get my MBA at night at Villanova. It was hard and it took three and a half years, but it was worth it, as the Treasurer position at IKEA came available, and my CPA and MBA allowed me to get the job.
I’ve seen the graphic below a few times over the last several weeks. I understand its message and have essentially tried to follow the hard decision path for most of my life, while imparting the same advice to my three sons. I’m sure they got sick of me telling them that no matter what amount you make, if you spend less than that amount, you will get ahead in life financially. Of course, this graphic is too simplistic to describe the real world, where medical misfortune, bad luck, bad investments, or bad people running the country can and do prevent many hard working honest families from ever achieving the “easy life”.

It does seem the level of stupidity across the general populace has risen to astounding levels over the last couple decades.
Just as I got the MBA and the new job, our first child was born. My wife had a good job at a social services organization, but we made the hard decision for her to stay at home and raise our kids, as two more sons were born over the next six years. Our overall family income was lower after my wife left the workforce, so we delayed buying a single family home, took vacations with our parents, drove used cars until they died, and rarely went out to restaurants. We managed to live beneath our means, contribute to my 401k, put the kids through Catholic school, and spent quite a bit on hockey equipment, because the boys loved hockey.
Many of my hard decisions when it came to my career most certainly did not lead to an easier life financially. I refused to lie or shade the truth at IKEA, resulting in my termination, because the unqualified female diversity CEO was too stupid to grasp the facts I presented. I realized the willful ignorance to my projections of the CFO at Toll Brothers in 2006 made my position untenable, so I took a substantial pay cut to move to Wharton. After 13 years of dedicated service, the new CFO turned out to be a despicable human being, and I took another pay cut to come to my current, and hopefully last employer.
So, from my perspective, not all hard decisions lead to an easier life financially. But the hard decisions I’ve made have kept my integrity intact. I’ve never lied, cheated, or done anything I considered unethical in my entire career. I also choose to no longer become friends with co-workers outside of work, because I’ve been stabbed in the back too frequently by people I thought were friends. My blog is my outlet for my anger, depression, and desire to tear off the veil hiding the treasonous, evil, corrupt, and psychotic actions of the government, media, banks, and Deep State.
I see what my kids and honest hard working people across the land are up against at this point in history, and I know hard decisions today are not likely to lead to an easy life ever again. At least, not until we go through a horrific and catastrophic financial collapse, with a civil and global war thrown in for good measure. Talk about hard decisions. How about life and death decisions on a daily basis for several years? We have no chance at a better future without the collapse of the present day dystopian debt empire.
My kids are all hard working, have decent jobs, have no debt, and still have absolutely no pathway to owning a home, without being strangled by debt to do so. Even rent for modest apartments, is a huge burden. Life is now hard for everyone, not only the stupid. We aren’t in Kansas or the 1980’s anymore. The people who did this to America and the American people have names and addresses. Many of the people they have screwed over are the ones with the 300 million guns they want to confiscate. At some point, those guns will need to be used. Then we’ll see whose life gets hard.

China Already Has A Large Army Inside America - Gatestone Institute Expert: Secure The Border Or 'We're Going To Be Fighting On Our Own Soil' As China Has Been Planning The Destruction Of The U.S. For Decades
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline February 17, 2024
China already has a huge military presence inside of the U.S., according to multiple sources, since they have been planning the destruction of America for decades, if not longer. The influx spoken about below is part of the endgame, not the beginning as China prepares to drop the hammer on the U.S.A. They softened America up with Covid-19, harming us economically, emotionally, and mentally, and now they are completing their invasion of America with tens of thousands more military aged men.
Since 2021 Joe Biden, or whoever is actually making the decisions on the part of the White House, has allowed an actual invasion by illegal immigrants. These people are coming from a number of different nations, some of which are hostile to the U.S., such as Russia and China.
A decade ago, 60% of those illegally entering America were Mexican nationals. In 2023, only 30% of those crossing are actually Mexican, while the majority has come from Venezuala, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Peru, El Salvador, Russia, India, Brazil and China.
We hear a lot about the border, and the comparisons between the Trump White House, and the years since Biden began occupying the White House, but a picture, or in this case a graph from the Guardian, offers a visual that cannot adequately be explained with mere words.
Even the spike under Trump right before the declaration of the pandemic, when reports from China indicated that the CDC , WHO and others would soon be declaring a pandemic, while many rushed to the border, was nowhere near the out-of-control open borders under Biden.
As an aside: It is also noteworthy that Trump was forced to use Executive Orders because Congress, Democrats and RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), blocked his border security efforts during his entire term.
For those that would claim that Biden isn't responsible, there are a number of facts that show those claims to be outright lies.
First, before being installed into the White House, Biden directly told illegal immigrants to "surge"to the border. This was confirmed in a fact check, and is on video.
A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.
The next fact that shows Biden deliberately invited an invasion of America by foreign entities was the reversal of Trump border policies, such as Remain In Mexico, the border wall and the zero tolerance.
The point here is the invasion was and is, by design, despite Biden's claims to the contrary in his faux-outrage over the recent rejection of a Senate "bipartisan" (meaning Democrats and RINOs), bill that would provide foreign aid, and codify open borders.
It wasn't a border security bill, it was an "immigration" bill.
Big difference.

Chinese men at border in Jacumba Hot Springs, CA, Dec. 2023
TO DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN.......
With all that out of the way, it is no secret that China and Russia have an alliance, and that both are hostile to America.
To be frank, part of Russia's hostility stems from U.S. sanctions and the U.S. led NATO continuously encroaching on Russia's geographical territory. Another part is how the U.S., under Obama help finance a coup against the pro-Russian president of Ukraine to install a pro-American president in 2014.
China on the other hand, has had a 50 to 100 year plan to replace America as a global super-power.
Read: The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower
Via Forbes in 2019:
In The Hundred-Year Marathon, Michael Pillsbury marshals a lot of evidence showing the Chinese government has a detailed strategy to overtake the US as the world’s dominant power.
They want to do this by 2049, the centennial of China’s Communist revolution.
The strategy has been well documented in Chinese literature, published and sanctioned by organizations of the People’s Liberation Army, for well over 50 years.
Keeping that in mind, the significant increase in Chinese nationals illegally crossing the U.S/Mexico border under the Biden regime, takes on a disturbing meaning.
Chinese illegal aliens are now the fastest growing group crossing the border into the U.S. National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd recently expressed concern over the influx of Chinese military aged men crossing the border.
"Why are we seeing this influx?" Judd asked on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "At best, they're just coming here for a better life or for a better job. At worse, they're coming here to be part of the Chinese government, and that's what scares me an awful lot."
"We know that the Chinese have huge gangs here in the United States, and they control certain parts of our country," he later said. "They control the drug flow. They control the prostitution. They control everything that's illegal in certain portions of the country. We have to look into that. It's very important that we understand why we are having so many people from China, especially military-aged men, from China.
From January to November 2023, at least 30,000 Chinese nations crossed the border into the U.S., yet in 2024 "over 20,000 Chinese nationals have been apprehended crossing into the U.S. via the southern border, with some reportedly aided by the Chinese Communist Party-linked app TikTok."
What about the so called "got-aways?" Those that do not get caught, enter and disappear somewhere in the United States, cannot be counted because they were never caught crossing the border.
That is 50,000 that we know of since the beginning of 2023. Added to those that previously infiltrated the U.S. we are talking about a huge army.
As House Majority Leader Steve Scalise recently pointed out, none of these Chinese nationals have been vetted, yet they were released into the U.S.
Between Biden's open borders and the military aged Chinese men that have crossed since 2023, we are looking at the destruction of America, from within.
Related: Chinese Nationals Surge Over the Border – Not a Crisis, but an Invasion
BOTTOM LINE......
We have to wonder how many of those Chinese military aged men were deliberately sent here by China, to infiltrate the U.S., to steal U.S. secrets, and to create sleeper cells right here in America to attack once instructed.
We have seen Chinese spies playing U.S. politicians, two examples links and explained below.
The late Democrat Senator for CA, Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy by her side for nearly 20 years. Democrat Rep. Eric Stalwell of CA, was involved with a Chinese spy named Christine Fang aka Fang Fang, and working other U.S. politicians as well.
Is there any doubt that Chinese soldiers, or terrorists, male and female, would be sent here to prepare for an attack from within?
Perhaps one of the most disturbing numbers associated with Chinese illegal crossings, is the CBP questions for Chinese crossers, has gone from 40 questions to just five, as reported by New York Post.
This is insanity.
At the 1:55 minute mark, we hear Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang state "Across that border we are seeing Chinese soldiers come across. And really what we are talking about is China putting together the infrastructure, in the U.S., to attack the U.S."

At least four police hurt in Hague riots after rival Eritrean mobs torched cars, trashed buildings and hurled bricks at cops - turning Dutch city into a war zone
By Perkin Amalaraj
Published: 04:10 EST, 18 February 2024 | Updated: 04:53 EST, 18 February 2024
At least four police officers were hurt during a violent riot that erupted on the streets outside The Hague last night, after two rival groups of Eritreans clashed following a a political disagreement.
Rioters torches police cars and a bus, and Dutch police officers were forced to use tear gas to try and dispel them.
Dozens of rioters were filmed surrounding the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg in the Netherlands, as multiple police vans drove to the scene.
Another clip also showed the aftermath. The building had several smashed windows and parked vehicles were on fire, with the street left looking like a warzone.
A fight broke out between two groups of Eritreans. 'It got seriously out of hand,' The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said last night.
Police said that during the disturbances, two officers sustained injuries to their hand and another to her teeth. A fourth was hit by a police car in the chaos.
'Out of nowhere, our colleagues were confronted with very intense and serious violence,' said police commander Marielle van Vulpen.
Police made several arrests and have called for witnesses and video footage, as they investigate the riots.
'The violence used against police officers and equipment is appalling and unacceptable,' said the city's mayor Jan van Zanen.
An official said a group loyal to Eritrea's government was holding a meeting when the venue was attacked by Eritreans who oppose the African nation's government.
Shards of glass covered the streets and smoke from the tear gas could be seen seeping into the air, as coppers had their cars pelted by bricks, bikes and traffic signs.
Officers dressed in riot gear barricaded the entrance to the building and dealt with a fire that had broken out inside. They removed what appeared to be a fuel canister from the property.
Youths were dressed in hooded jackets and some covered their faces with scarves and balaclavas.
Netherlands-based journalist Owen O'Brien shared the footage on X and wrote: 'Rioters break into an entrance at the #Opera.
'Windows are broken and attempts are made to enter. The fire brigade has also left again and cannot extinguish the fire.'
The reporter said the Opera hall had suffered 'extensive damage' because of the violent riots.
Jan van Zanen, mayor of The Hague, authorised police to use tear gas, a spokesman told the Netherlands Times.
The mayor also issued an emergency order for the area around Fruitweg, a spokesperson for the municipality of The Hague said.
Police Unit The Hague posted on X: 'At #Fruitweg in #DenHaag a confrontation between two groups of Eritreans resulted in a fight.
'Stones were thrown. We act with the riot police, among others, to restore public order.'
Multiple cars that were torched were left charred as emergency services were able to put out the fires.
Police spokesperson Kristianne van Blanken said she could not immediately say if anybody was injured or if any rioters were arrested.
Anti-immigration sentiment has already been running high in the Netherlands, and far-right leader Geert Wilders, who won the nation's most recent election in November, took to X to say: 'Why is half the world allowed to come here to tear down our country, fight amongst themselves, throw stones at the police and set their cars on fire?
I want to become the prime minister who finally brings some order to this.'
There are some 25,000 Eritreans living in the Netherlands, according to official government figures.
The fighting is the latest outbreak of violence at Eritrean events in Europe.
Dozens of people, including at least 26 police officers, were injured during unrest surrounding an Eritrean cultural festival in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart in September 2023.
A fight the same month between Eritrean government supporters and opponents in Tel Aviv led to violent street confrontations among African asylum-seekers and migrants.
Months earlier, a clash at an Eritrean festival in the western German city of Giessen left 22 police officers injured.
Tens of thousands of people have fled Eritrea for Europe, many alleging they were mistreated by the repressive government of President Isaias Afwerki.
The conflicts underscore deep divisions among members of the Eritrean diaspora between those who remain close to the government and those who have fled to live in exile and strongly oppose Isaias.

How the CIA Destabilizes the World
If only the CIA’s rogue operations had been consigned to history as a result of the crimes exposed by the Church Committee, or at the least had brought the CIA under the rule of law and public accountability. But that was not to be.
Jeffrey D. Sachs Feb 12, 2024
Common Dreams
There are three basic problems with the CIA: its objectives, methods, and unaccountability. Its operational objectives are whatever the CIA or the President of the United States defines to be in the U.S. interest at a given time, irrespective of international law or U.S. law. Its methods are secretive and duplicitous. Its unaccountability means that the CIA and president run foreign policy without any public scrutiny. Congress is a doormat, a sideshow.
As a recent CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, said of his time at the CIA: "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment."
The CIA was established in 1947 as the successor to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The OSS had performed two distinct roles in World War II, intelligence and subversion. The CIA took over both roles. On the one hand, the CIA was to provide intelligence to the US Government. On the other, the CIA was to subvert the “enemy,” that is, whomever the president or CIA defined as the enemy, using a wide range of measures: assassinations, coups, staged unrest, arming of insurgents, and other means.
It is the latter role that has proved devastating to global stability and the U.S. rule of law. It is a role that the CIA continues to pursue today. In effect, the CIA is a secret army of the U.S., capable of creating mayhem across the world with no accountability whatsoever.
When President Dwight Eisenhower decided that Africa’s rising political star, democratically elected Patrice Lumumba of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), was the “enemy,” the CIA conspired in his 1961 assassination, thus undermining the democratic hopes for Africa. He would hardly be the last African president brought down by the CIA.
The extent of the continuing mayhem resulting from CIA operations gone awry is astounding.
In its 77-year history, the CIA has been held to serious public account just once, in 1975. In that year, Idaho Senator Frank Church led a Senate investigation that exposed the CIA’s shocking rampage of assassinations, coups, destabilization, surveillance, and Mengele-style torture and medical “experiments.”
The expose by the Church Committee of the CIA’s shocking malfeasance has recently been chronicled in a superb book by the investigative reporter James Risen, The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys―and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy.
That single episode of oversight occurred because of a rare confluence of events.
In the year before the Church Committee, the Watergate scandal had toppled Richard Nixon and weakened the White House. As successor to Nixon, Gerald Ford was unelected, a former Congressman, and reluctant to oppose the oversight prerogatives of the Congress. The Watergate scandal, investigated by the Senate Ervin Committee, had also empowered the Senate and demonstrated the value of Senate oversight of Executive Branch abuses of power. Crucially, the CIA was newly led by Director William Colby, who wanted to clean up the CIA operations. Also, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, author of pervasive illegalities also exposed by the Church committee, had died in 1972.
In December 1974, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, then as now a great reporter with sources inside the CIA, published an account of illegal CIA intelligence operations against the U.S. antiwar movement. The Senate Majority Leader at the time, Mike Mansfield, a leader of character, then appointed Church to investigate the CIA. Church himself was a brave, honest, intelligent, independent-minded, and intrepid Senator, characteristics chronically in short supply in U.S. politics.
If only the CIA’s rogue operations had been consigned to history as a result of the crimes exposed by the Church Committee, or at the least had brought the CIA under the rule of law and public accountability. But that was not to be. The CIA has had the last laugh —or better said, has brought the world to tears—by maintaining its preeminent role in U.S. foreign policy, including overseas subversion.
Since 1975, the CIA has run secretive operations backing Islamic jihadists in Afghanistan that utterly wrecked Afghanistan while giving rise to al-Qaeda. The CIA has likely run secretive operations in the Balkans against Serbia, in the Caucuses against Russia, and in Central Asia targeting China, all deploying CIA-backed jihadists. In the 2010s, the CIA ran deadly operations to topple Syria’s Bashir al-Assad, again with Islamic jihadists. For at least 20 years, the CIA has been deeply involved in fomenting the growing catastrophe in Ukraine, including the violent overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014 that triggered the devastating war now engulfing Ukraine.
What do we know of these operations? Only the parts that whistleblowers, a few intrepid investigative reporters, a handful of brave scholars, and some foreign governments have been willing or able to tell us, with all of these potential witnesses knowing that they might face severe retribution from the U.S. government. There has been little to no accountability by the U.S. government itself, or meaningful oversight or restraint imposed by Congress. On the contrary, the government has become ever-more obsessively secretive, pursuing aggressive legal actions against disclosures of classified information, even when, or especially when, that information describes the illegal actions by the government itself.
Once in a while, a former U.S. official spills the beans, such as when Zbigniew Brzezinski revealed that he had induced Jimmy Carter to assign the CIA to train Islamic jihadists to destabilize the government of Afghanistan, with the aim of inducing the Soviet Union to invade that country.
In the case of Syria, we learned from a few stories in the New York Times in 2016 and 2017 of the CIA’s subversive operations to destabilize Syria and overthrow Assad, as ordered by President Barack Obama. Here is the case of a dreadfully misguided CIA operation, blatantly in violation of international law, that has led to a decade of mayhem, an escalating regional war, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and millions of displaced people, and yet there has not been a single honest acknowledgment of this CIA-led disaster by the White House or Congress.
In the case of Ukraine, we know that the U.S. played a major covert role in the violent coup that brought down Yanukovych and that swept Ukraine into a decade of bloodshed but to this day, we don’t know the details. Russia offered the world a window into the coup by intercepting and then posting a call between Victoria Nuland, then U.S. Assistant Secretary of State (now Under-Secretary of State) and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt (now Assistant Secretary of State), in which they plot the post-coup government. Following the coup, the CIA covertly trained special operations forces of the post-coup regime the U.S. had helped bring to power. The U.S. government has been mum about the CIA’s covert operations in Ukraine.
We have good reason to believe that CIA operatives carried out the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, as per Seymour Hersh, who is now an independent reporter. Unlike in 1975, when Hersh was with the New York Times at a time when the paper still tried to hold the government to account, the Times does not even deign to look into Hersh’s account.
Holding the CIA to public account is of course a steep uphill struggle. Presidents and the Congress don’t even try. The mainstream media don’t investigate the CIA, preferring instead to quote “senior unnamed officials” and the official cover-up. Are the mainstream media outlets lazy, suborned, afraid of advertising revenues from the military-industrial complex, threatened,
ignorant, or all of the above? Who knows.
There is a tiny glimmer of hope. Back in 1975, the CIA was led by a reformer. Today, the CIA is led by William Burns, one of America’s long-standing leading diplomats. Burns knows the truth about Ukraine, since he served as Ambassador to Russia in 2008 and cabled Washington about the grave error of pushing NATO enlargement to Ukraine. Given Burns’ stature and diplomatic accomplishments, perhaps he would support the urgently needed accountability.
The extent of the continuing mayhem resulting from CIA operations gone awry is astounding. In Afghanistan, Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, Kosovo, Ukraine, and far beyond, the needless deaths, instability, and destruction unleashed by CIA subversion continues to this day. The mainstream media, academic institutions, and Congress should be investigating these operations to the best of their ability and demanding the release of documents to enable democratic accountability.
Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Church Committee hearings. Fifty years on, with the precedent, inspiration, and guidance of the Church Committee itself, it’s urgently time to open the blinds, expose the truth about the U.S.-led mayhem, and begin a new era in which U.S. foreign policy becomes transparent, accountable, subject to the rule of law both domestic and international, and directed towards global peace rather than subversion of supposed enemies.

Historic New York village that made weapons for 200 YEARS is 'losing its soul' as nation's oldest gun-maker Remington shuts massive firearms factory - leaving entire families jobless
Remington started in Ilion in upstate New York in 1816 and grew into a one million square foot factory
Over the next two centuries it became the village's biggest employer, producing millions of firearms
But now plant owner RemArms has announced it is leaving the town, as the mayor says 'it feels like we are losing our identity'
By Isabelle Stanley For Dailymail.Com and Ap
Published: 08:53 EST, 18 February 2024 | Updated: 08:59 EST, 18 February 2024
A historic New York village faces 'losing its soul' after the nation's oldest gunmaker, Remington, announced plans to shut its massive firearms factory next month - leaving entire families without work.
Eliphalet Remington forged his first rifle barrel in the village of Ilion in 1816 and over the next two centuries, his business grew into a one million square feet factory with thousands of employees.
But in December, the current Remington owners, RemArms, revealed it was moving operations to gun-friendly Georgia, and making 270 people redundant.
With a population of just 7,600, the factory has long been the town's main employer.
Now, Mayor John Stephens, 57, said the village is set to lose $1 million in revenue when the plant closes, while local businesses will also take a 'great financial hit' - and that's on top of the emotional toll.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, he said: ''It's like the town is losing its soul. It's almost like losing a family member. That's the thing that people are struggling with, the nostalgia, the history. It feels like we are losing the identity of the town.'
Mayor Stephens, 57, said the plant is all he's 'ever known' and that there are generations of families who have worked there - sometimes six or even seven.
His own father worked at the plant for 37 years and raised four children on a Remington paycheck.
He told DailyMail.com: 'There are people that are 100 years old in this village and it's all they've ever known. Ilion is Remington and Remington is Ilion'.
Remington brought in close to $1 million in utility bills and taxes to the village and its workers also brought custom to local businesses.
'I've spoken to a few businesses, that's the part financially that's going to hurt. Even if it's only 300 people, they still buy gas, they still buy shoes. That's going to be a hit to the local businesses,' Mayor Stephens added.
He also worries about the building sitting empty, saying: 'It's just going to deteriorate over time and then I have an abandoned factory that's falling into itself.'
Mayor Stephen believes those who are made redundant will be able to find work as there are 'plenty of jobs available'.
But that may come as little comfort to those left in the lurch in the meantime - with some entire families losing their jobs in one hit.
One of those is furnace operator and technician Frank "Rusty" Brown who said the move is a 'double-hit' for him and his wife with the two of them out of a job.
He said: 'My mom worked there. My dad worked there. My wife works there with me now. My daughter works there with me now. My second daughter works there with me now. And my son-in-law works there.'
Likewise, posting on Facebook, former Remington worker, Konstanty Patrick Bielanski, said the closure was 'sad news' as it was a 'great place to work'.
He said: 'Many of us built millions of these rifles to make Remington the best in early 1971 through 2010. How sad it had to end, Ilion will never be the same.'
In a 2016 promotional video, Remington employee Scott Nichols, said: 'We bring jobs to the area and the earnings from those jobs gets spread out throughout the community.
'It's hard to find somebody in the area that does not have someone that's related or knows somebody. It's easy to walk out on the floor and find somebody that you know.'
In a letter to union officials in November, the current owners of Remington Firearms, RemArms, blamed 'production inefficiencies' for the plant closure.
They cited the high cost of maintaining and insuring the one million square feet (92,903 square meters) of space in multiple buildings - many of which date back to World War I.
RemArms added that Georgia offered an environment that better 'supports and welcomes the firearms industry.'
New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik blamed the state's gun laws for the closure.
In a statement, she said: 'New York Democrats’ unconstitutional gun-grab policies have pushed significant businesses out of the state.
'History can not be erased. I am proud to represent Ilion, former home base for Remington Arms in Upstate New York. And I will always stand up for our 2A Constitutional Rights!'
Another former employee, David Brewer, wrote on Facebook: 'I spent 34 years there and it is sad to see it go but the governor wants to make a name for herself for the do gooders and not punish the criminals but punish the law-abiding citizens.'
Remington is not the first firearms maker to commit to a more gun-friendly state.
Smith & Wesson opened its new Tennessee headquarters in October after being based in Springfield, Massachusetts, since 1852.
Announcing the move in 2021, company officials criticized proposed state legislation they said would prohibit them from manufacturing certain weapons.
The previous owners of Remington were forced to file for bankruptcy after the company was sued in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre where 20 first graders and six adults were killed by a shooter using a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle.
Family members of victims and a survivor of the shooting filed a lawsuit against Remington in 2015 and settled in 2022 for $73 million.
RemArms took over ownership of the factory but the workforce has still dwindled from about 1,300 workers a decade ago to 270 now.
In December they announced they would be closing the doors on March 4.
Local officials hope the plant site will eventually host a mix of manufacturing, retail and residential units. But its fate remains unclear and it was listed for sale last month for $10 million.
Michael Disotelle, historian at Ilion's public library, told AP: 'Things can become an eyesore quickly and the being in the center of the village like that, you can´t just let it go.'
Mayor Stephens said he has repeatedly asked the owners what their plan is with the site, but they haven't responded. DailyMail.com contacted RemArms for comment.

Middle America is dying hard
By Salena Zito February 16, 2024 5:56 pm
WEIRTON, West Virginia — Most people in this town will tell you they’d rather have taken a physical punch to the gut than get the news they received yesterday when Cleveland-Cliffs Steel announced it was idling its tinplate production plant, a move that directly cost 900 people their jobs.
It isn’t just those workers who face catastrophic uncertainty; this closure also jeopardizes the jobs of thousands more people whose businesses supported the plant: the barber shops, gas stations, mom-and-pop grocery stores, the machine shops that make the widgets for the steel industry. And there’s also the demise of the tax base, which affects the school district and the quality of the roads.
Thirty years ago, more than 10,000 people worked here at Weirton Steel. Now, the last 900 workers left have just lost their jobs.
“It’s just another scar to add on what people in power have done to our lives and our community over the past 40 years,” said one employee who declined to give his name, adding, “Honestly, how many times does this story have to be told before someone in power cares about our lives.”
He points to different buildings downtown, and all of them for him were “used to be this” and “used to be that.”
Ryan Weld of Wellsburg, 43, grew up in downtown Weirton right behind the local funeral home.
“When I was growing up in the ’80s, the mill was still going at full tilt with Weirton Steel employing 10,000 people, including my grandfathers,” he said.
The Republican state senator said things started to slow down here in the mid to late ’90s after the North American Free Trade Agreement was enacted: “That dramatically changed the landscape of downtown, went from a bustling the last age group that remembers the shops and stores and restaurants of downtown.”
He believes NAFTA, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, essentially made it hard for companies like Weirton Steel, which had to follow strict and expensive Environmental Protection Agency guidelines compete with places like Mexico. The towns all up and down the Steel Valley died hard.
“The legacy of the federal government and its refusal to properly enforce trade laws is nothing but empty mills and unemployed workers,” Weld said. “That was true in the ’80s and ’90s, and that is true today.”
Forty years ago, the Democratic Party started to slowly shed its working-class base, but not quickly: Democratic officials would still show up for decades at union rallies, putting their arms around workers’ shoulders and telling them they have their back while at the same time enacting regulations and trade agreements that stripped them of their livelihoods and dignity and made ghettos of their once beloved communities.
By the 2012 Obama reelection, they traded their New Deal Democrat legacy voters for ascendant groups: minorities, young people, college-educated elites, and single women, all done without so much as a Dear John letter.
The Republicans inherited them, but most of their strategists running messaging and campaigns had no idea what to do with them, at least on the national level.
And then there is the press covering the voter who will decide the next president: Few if any of them come from places like Weirton or Youngstown, Ohio, so they have little understanding of their worldview. Things that give people from here purpose, such as living close to extended family, are not as valuable to someone who has been transient for most of a career.
In short, we are heading once again into an election where very few people in Washington truly understand how remarkably devastating this mill closure is. Instead, it is a wire story at best, soon forgotten if measured at all. They truly do not understand how much the loss of the dignity of work has changed American politics. That this tone-deafness is still happening 14 years after Barack Obama was given notice in the 2010 midterm elections and eight years after Donald Trump won the presidency is pretty staggering.
The Democrats once attracted these voters, but they’ve moved on to the social justice crowd and don’t appear to want to anymore. I’m not sure if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) does, the press does not, and the new “very online right” is certainly not the reflection of a center-right voter in middle America. The online right just seems hell-bent on making them seem like Taylor Swift conspiracy theorists. (P.S.
They’re not.)
Jeff Brauer, a political science professor at Keystone College, said Washington elites on both sides of the aisle, media elites, and now online conspiracy elites just don’t get Middle America even after this recent economically and politically difficult decade.
“Few things bond people/citizens together like trying to make a living in the real world, the dignity of work, and raising a family,” he explained, adding these bonds that cut across all divides — geographic, racial/ethnic, religious, gender, ideological/party, and even at times socioeconomic.
“If there is one thing we have learned over the past decade, it is that this bond over the difficulties of making an honest living can and does create unlikely coalitions of voters,” he said. “Even disparate voters from the likes of Bernie Sanders supporters to Trump supporters can agree on this.”
Indeed, economic dignity and survival make strange bedfellows.
Brad Todd, founding partner of OnMessage and co-author with me of The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics, said one thing is for certain about 2024: “We are about to read a million new stories that quote zero people who are actually going to decide the election.”
Brauer said the dignity of work is at the very core of the American experience, “Yet the elites of this country still just don’t understand, while average Americans just keep getting financially squeezed more and more.”

Weld said it is incumbent on local elected officials such as himself to be the advocates of Middle America.
“I do what I do because of that. The empty buildings were already there when I was in college and high school, and it pisses me off,” he said. “I don’t think anyone fought hard enough for that from happening. We shouldn’t keep having to read again, again, another story about a town dying hard and a vacancy of no one caring.”

Record 5,363 NYPD cops injured on job in 2023 — with over 1,200 hurt in struggles with suspects in last 3 months
By Social Links for Dean Balsamini and Social Links for Tina Moore
Published Feb. 18, 2024 Updated Feb. 18, 2024, 8:50 a.m. ET
A total of 1,286 NYPD officers were injured in battles with suspects over the last quarter of 2023, bringing the final annual tally to a record 5,363 injured cops, department data show.
The 40th Precinct in Mott Haven, the Bronx, was the most dangerous battleground, where 135 cops were injured during struggles with lawbreakers, the stats show.
Next, with 129 injuries, was the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn, which covers East New York and Cypress Hills.
The 46th Precinct (128), 44th Precinct (126) and 47th Precinct (117), all in the Bronx, rounded out the Top 5 most dangerous areas for the city’s Finest.
“No real surprises here – all very busy commands where perps are emboldened to fight,” observed one law enforcement source.
Radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors is the brew that fuels the dangerous and disturbing trend, experts told The Post.
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry called the assaults on NYPD cops a “full-blown epidemic.” He added: “Even the simplest summonses are turning into all-out brawls. Our justice system needs to send a clear message, once and for all — is you assault a police officer, you will stay in jail.”
The number of cops hurt by suspects surged 20% in 2022, when 4,724 uniformed officers suffered injuries in attacks, compared to 3,933 in 2021. The 5,363 attacks in 2023 was 13% higher than the previous year (4,737).
The war against cops has officers searching for greener pastures.
Former NYPD Lt. Rob Corbett, 50, was assaulted and bloodied during the George Floyd protests/riots in May 2020.
He was hit in the face with a flying brick while trying to keep the peace near the Barclay Center in Brooklyn and later in Clinton Hill.
Corbett, who needed stitches and extensive dental work, retired in April 2022 after 25 years on the job and hightailed it to Florida, where he’s now a cop near Orlando.
“I couldn’t do it [the NYPD job] anymore, given the state of the laws, you know, the changes to the laws and all of that stuff as well,” Corbett told The Post this week. “So it wasn’t the profession it was just where I was doing the profession.”
Corbett, who has two kids, a 12-year-old boy, and 14-year-old girl, said his new job has given him a new outlook.
“It’s so much friendlier down here. You know, it’s a better place to be a cop and the laws are so much better,” he explained. “I gave up my rank and my seniority, you know, started from scratch at a huge pay cut. But the quality of life is a million times better.”

Maine mass shooter who killed 18 people inside bar told cops he was ‘capable’ of doing ‘something’
By Social Links for Isabel Keane Published Feb. 18, 2024 Updated Feb. 18, 2024, 8:54 a.m. ET
Maine gunman Robert Card told police he was “capable” of doing “something” during a welfare check three months before he gunned down 18 people inside a bar and bowling alley in the state’s deadliest mass shooting to date.
The cryptic remarks came as New York State troopers enforced a directive to bring Card to counseling services at a West Point Army facility in July, before he was ultimately transferred to a civilian psychiatric hospital, body cam footage obtained by WMTW shows.
The action was taken after members of his Army Reserve unit told authorities they were concerned over his mental state.
“I hope you understand that they’re concerned enough about your welfare that they called us,” one of the troopers tells Card.
“Oh, because they’re scared — because I’m going to, friggin, do something. Because I am capable,” Card responds. The trooper then asks Card what he means by that and he replies “Nothing.”
The concerns over the 40-year-old Army reservist’s mental health came three months before he fatally shot 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, sparking a massive manhunt that ended in his suicide.
The reservists, whose names and faces are redacted, detail their years-long friendship with Card, which had become strained due to his poor mental state.
“He spent a lot of money on guns. He spent $14 grand on a scope,” a reservist told the police.
Card tells officers he’s been hearing people talking about him, spreading rumors that he’s gay and a pedophile. The officers tell him he has been ordered to speak with a counselor at the Army hospital.
One of the troopers later asks Card if he’s going to make it to retiring from the Reserve, to which Card replies, “I’m hoping.”
“Don’t do anything to jeopardize that, alright?” the trooper responds.
Weeks before the horrific Oct. 25, 2023 massacre, Card’s best friend texted their boss expressing fear that Card was “going to snap and do a mass shooting,” though by that point, Card’s mental decline was already well-documented by loved ones and law enforcement.
After gunning down his unsuspecting victims, Card fled in a vehicle that was later found abandoned on a waterfront in a nearby town, sparking an intense two-day manhunt.
His body was found in an overflow parking lot at the Maine Recycling Corporation on Oct. 27.
Card suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound, which medical examiners ruled was “likely” administered eight to 12 hours before his body was discovered.
His motive for the massacre remains a mystery, though officials are probing his extensive history of mental health issues.

Israeli swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko jeered by crowd at World Aquatics Championships in Qatar
By Associated Press Published Feb. 18, 2024, 2:34 p.m. ET
DOHA, Qatar — Israeli swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko was jeered by some of the crowd after finishing second in the women’s 400-meter medley on the closing day of the World Aquatics Championships in Qatar on Sunday.
The 20-year-old Gorbenko was making poolside comments moments after the race when the jeers rang out at the Aspire Dome in Doha.
“I’m just so happy to be here and represent my country in this hard time,” Gorbenko said amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. “Being here with the Israeli flag means a lot to me and to my country, so that’s the best I can do.”
Others in the crowd then drowned out the jeers with applause and cheers.
British swimmer Freya Colbert won the race in 4 minutes, 37.14 seconds. Gorbenko clocked 4:37.36 and Italy’s Sara Franceschi was third in 4:37.86.
All three attended their medal ceremony later Sunday.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Satan Club
By Hal Lindsey
Imagine the ancient god Molech with fire beneath him and his outstretched arms burning hot. Think about Molech’s priests convincing parents to place their babies in those arms — a burnt sacrifice to Satan. That sin finally triggered God’s great judgment of Israel. The people refused to stop this satanic sacrifice of children. So, God stopped it.
Satan must really hate kids. Or maybe he attacks them so fiercely because of their vulnerability. They depend on adults to protect them. But too many of those adults whose job it is to shield children — primarily parents and educators — have chosen to lay them into the white-hot arms of Satan. People surrendered to Satan can rationalize every evil.
Entry-level Satanists teach that neither God nor Satan exists. Yet they worship Satan, though they might say they worship only the idea of Satan. They consider him the ultimate nonconformist rebel. But the devil doesn’t free people from conformity. He demands it. And he is the chief instigator of war, murder, rape, envy, bullying, and thousands of other things that bring misery to life.
Satanists are now busy taking their worship of evil into the lives of elementary schoolchildren in the form of Satan Clubs. They advertise these clubs as fun, happy, educational, and full of hope. And the devil? Well, they present him as a great guy — an angel of light.
One flier reused in several school districts reads, “Hey kids! Let’s have fun at after school Satan Club! Science & community service projects! Puzzles and games! Nature activities! Arts and crafts! Snacks! & tons of fun!”
They seem to be trying to prove their high level of fun by using exclamation marks everywhere. The flier also features a bizarre cartoon version of the master of their religion. They depict Satan as a benign version of a silent-film-era movie villain, except with horns comically sprouting from his head.
They assure us that the Satan of their religion is not to be taken seriously. The flier says, “The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religion that views Satan as a literary figure who represents a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny and championing the human mind and spirit.”
The Satan of literature leads to dark territory indeed. The bestselling book in which this “literary figure” shows up is the Bible. And in the Bible, he is anything but a champion of “the human mind and spirit.” Look at the devil elsewhere in literature. He’s shown as the instigator of evil in its darkest forms — as the ultimate hater of humans and of God.
As a “literary figure,” the devil stands against all that is good. Yet the flier says, “Parents, your child will learn benevolence & empathy, critical thinking, problem solving, creative expression, personal sovereignty, compassion.” Imagine thinking that kids can learn benevolence, empathy, and compassion from Satan. They also say kids will learn “critical thinking” from people so confused that they think that the Satan of literature represents a champion of the human spirit.
Pray for our children. This is one small part of the onslaught against them. Also pray for their teachers at school, at church, in the home, and elsewhere.
Pray, too, for the satanically deluded purveyors of darkness. Isaiah 5:20 (NASB) gives a grave warning — not just to Satanists, but to the people of our age in general. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness.”

Security in A Dangerous World
By Hal Lindsey
Things are going wrong all over the world. Civilization itself seems on the verge of a terrible implosion. Economies are held together with bailing wire and spit. The UN and most nations tend to reward warmongers, while attacking those who resist military aggression. In a time of nuclear proliferation, our leaders keep choosing policies that encourage belligerence.
It is only by the grace of God that an ungrateful world continues its balancing act on the edge of a terrible abyss. But as the world rejects God, it also rejects His grace and His help. Without major changes, time is short. Meanwhile, it gets more dangerous every day to go to the grocery store or drive down the street. Tidal waves of drugs and drunkenness engulf the nations. Pestilences plague the world. Lies and fake news now permeate once trusted institutions.
Churches that ignore these things or fail to sound the alarm, neglect their duty to those they are called to serve. Meanwhile, some other churches and Christian organizations make the opposite error. Instead of looking for the coming of Christ, they diligently search for Antichrist. They focus on evil. Dark conspiracies have become their stock in trade. They act as if their job is to make Christians depressed, distressed, and afraid.
The signs of the times should focus our attention on Jesus. That’s why we need to be aware of them and let Him help us understand them. In Matthew 16:2-3, Jesus chided the Pharisees and Sadducees because they understood signs in the weather, but not signs of the times. It is for good reason that the Bible gives detailed information about the times leading up to the Lord’s return.
But signs only give part of the picture. The key to it all is Jesus. He should be our focus, especially in an era of chaos. 1 Corinthians 14:33 tells us that “God is not the author of confusion.” The Greek word here translated as confusion means disorder and chaos. But Jesus is our Rock, our unchanging home even as bedlam overtakes the world.
Our hope as Christians has always rested in Him alone and not in the world system. But the world’s present instability should remind us of the One who remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. We find our stability in Him.
I’m not saying to disengage with our neighbors in the world. The Bible admonishes us to be good citizens. And in a republic, citizens comprise the ultimate governing authority. We must discharge those duties with diligence and care, especially when it comes time to vote. We need to be informed and involved.
Sadly, many have taken this to unwarranted extremes. They started by simply pulling for their guy in an election. Nothing wrong with that. But some then became so absorbed in the world system that they began to place their hope in political messiahs. This leads to inner turmoil, anger, and fear. Many live in constant dread of the next election.
Remember Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith.” He has never let you down. He never will. Romans 8 lists terrible difficulties Christians sometimes encounter. Verse 37 then proclaims, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

Near-record winds over the Northeast push passenger planes to speeds over 800 mph
February 19, 20245:00 AM ET
Emma Bowman, for NPR, 27 July 2019, in Washington DC.
Strong high-altitude winds over the Mid-Atlantic sped up sky traffic on Saturday night, getting passengers on at least two commercial planes to their destinations early, after both aircraft hit supersonic speeds topping 800 mph.
Winds at cruising altitude peaked at about 265 mph, according to the Washington, D.C., area National Weather Service office — the second-highest wind speed logged in the region since recordings began in 1948. The highest-ever wind speed recorded in the area at a similar altitude was 267 mph on Dec. 6, 2002.
"For those flying eastbound in this jet, there will be quite a tail wind," the NWS warned in a tweet.
Sure enough, that tailwind helped cut down the flight time for passengers on a Virgin Atlantic flight from D.C. to London by 45 minutes, according to the tracker FlightAware.
The Boeing 787 reached a maximum ground speed of 802 mph, surpassing the speed of sound (767 mph). But, as The Washington Post explained, the plane didn't actually break the sound barrier.
"Although its ground speed — a measure that combines the plane's actual speed and the additional push from the wind — was greater than the speed of sound, it was still moving through the surrounding air at its ordinary cruise speed. It just so happened that the surrounding air was moving unusually fast," the Post reported.
Another 787, a United Airlines flight from Newark, N.J., to Lisbon, Portugal, that took off at 8:35 p.m. on Saturday, reached a peak ground speed of 838 mph, shaving 20 minutes off the scheduled flight time.
Just last month, a jet stream over the Pacific Ocean produced 250 mph winds that pushed a China Airlines flight to log 826 mph.
There are no official records for commercial flight speeds, the newspaper reported, but both of the latter ground speeds are among the highest known recorded. In February 2020, a British Airways Boeing 747 set a record for subsonic trans-Atlantic flight time with a reported top speed reaching 825 mph.
The powerful jet streams that drive up flight speeds are often fueled by contrasts in temperature. The Post said the combination of Saturday's cold air in the Northeast and warmer air in the Southeast whipped up high winds.

How a Northwest tribe is escaping a rising ocean
February 19, 2024 5:30 AM ET From KUOW By John Ryan
In a mossy stretch of forest on Washington state's outer coast, streets and sidewalks have appeared in recent weeks, representing the future of the Quinault Indian Nation. The coastal tribe has spent a decade trying to move its villages out of reach of a rising Pacific Ocean and its tsunamis. It's an approach many communities might need to embrace as Earth's climate keeps warming and seas keep rising.
Where the Quinault River empties into the Pacific, a seawall of massive boulders protects the Quinault Reservation village of Taholah from pounding waves, but it's not always up to the task.
"It is inevitable that my street will be in the ocean at some point," Lia Frenchman said. The Quinault tribal member and historic preservation officer lives with her partner and two kids in a modular home perched on cinder blocks in the shadow of the seawall.
"At high tide in winter, the waves will come over, my backyard will fill with water, and you'll see the water running under my house, out into the street," Frenchman said. "Like, I'll have a full current going."
Each winter, the highest tides of the year, known as king tides, threaten to flood the low-lying village of 800 people, the largest on the Quinault Reservation. Waves deposit hulking driftwood logs on top of the seawall and, occasionally, into people's backyards.
"There's a few new ones today, even," Frenchman said.
Tidal flooding forced the evacuation of Taholah in 2022, with the tribal government putting up elders at its casino 25 miles down the coast.
Frenchman knew the hazards of living by the seawall when she bought her home in 2020, but housing is scarce in Taholah. Some four-bedroom homes house up to 20 people.
"We just made the most of this little home that became available and had to also make the choice to move onto this street, which is the most susceptible to flooding," she said.
When big waves hit the seawall at high tide, Frenchman's home shakes.
"It just vibrates, like a little mini-earthquake constantly, for a few hours," she said.
Should a major earthquake hit the Cascadia Subduction Zone just offshore, or other seismic hotspots around the Pacific Rim, most of Taholah could be inundated by a tsunami.
"My kids' schools, they're all sea level," Frenchman said. "They're all in the flooding zone."
Oceanographers say king tides in Taholah and elsewhere give a sneak peek of the future as an ever-hotter climate swells the world's oceans. Global sea levels have risen about seven inches over the past century due to heat-trapping pollution, with a similar rise forecast in just the next 30 years.
The Quinaults' approach, sometimes called "managed retreat," is a response to human-driven climate change that coastal communities are facing from Boston to Bangladesh. Such an approach can cost many millions of dollars, and the emotional toll can be high. People in the U.S. who relocate because of climate change usually move within 20 minutes of their original home according to recent research.
Coastal property owners often prefer higher seawalls or engineering solutions to try to hold back a rising sea over relocating or abandoning valuable waterfront real estate.
"There are lots of examples of places that no longer exist on the map, so this has happened before," said oceanographer Ian Miller with Washington Sea Grant at the University of Washington. "There are not too many instances of it happening in this kind of planned, managed, coordinated way."
Taholah, about 3 hours west of Seattle, has done more to confront that hotter future than most places in the U.S. and is gradually becoming one of the first American communities to move inland as sea levels rise.
In December, the Quinault government reached a milestone in its long push to provide safe housing for its people.
"," tribal counYou're looking at about nine acres of fresh development, with asphalt and sidewalks and lots of open space to start building some housescil member Ryan Hendricks said behind the wheel of his pickup truck. "What I see is, I see a really nice start of relocating a village."
There are no houses yet, just a figure eight of streets, sidewalks, and underground utilities carved out of the tribe's lichen-draped timberlands. The upland site with lots for 59 homes is about a mile from the lower village and 130 feet above sea level.
"I'm excited to see tribal members cruising around up here in anticipation," said Hendricks, who used to manage the construction project before he was elected to the tribal council.
While fully relocating the village is expected to take at least another decade, tribal officials hope the first Quinault elders can begin moving into new homes in the next year or two.
"It's a big project for such a small group of people to take on," Hendricks said.
The village is named for Chief Taholah, who signed the Treaty of Olympia with the United States in 1855, surrendering most of the Quinault and neighboring tribes' land, but retaining their fishing, hunting, and other rights. Today, the Quinault Reservation covers about 200,000 acres, a lush, mostly forested area bigger than New York City, but with just 1,200 residents.
Per-capita income on the reservation is low, about half the national average. One in three people there live below the federal poverty level.
Tanya Eison-Pelach wanted to move back to Taholah after she finished graduate school in Seattle, studying ocean policy.
"I do wish that I could have moved back into the home that I love so much, but I realized that that's not a place that I would feel safe raising a family," Eison-Pelach said.
She now works on natural resources policy for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians. She lives off the Quinault Reservation, about 10 miles from her home village and outside the danger zone for flooding.
"I do love Taholah," she said. "I just feel so far away now."
Eison-Pelach said tribes like the Quinault are on the front lines of climate change. "We're trying to solve a problem we didn't create," she said. "We didn't create carbon emissions to any level of, like, the outside, non-tribal world."
The Quinault government has received millions in state and federal funds to relocate the village. It has spent millions from its own timber and casino operations. With the project expected to cost at least $450 million, the tribe still needs hundreds of millions to get homes built in the new neighborhood.
"It's been a long process," Quinault Indian Nation President Guy Capoeman said.
"We've had to do a lot of convincing to get some of our folks to agree that it's best to move up on the hill," he said.
Tribal members report having mixed feelings about relocating away from the mouth of the Quinault River, the salmon-bearing heart of Quinault culture.
"That river down there has been keeping us alive for thousands of years," Hendricks said.
Thorny issues remain for the tribal council to address, like who gets to move uphill first and how much it will cost them to do so.
"There's a lot of questions that I feel like our council has to answer," Frenchman said. "I'm glad I don't have to make those kinds of decisions." Already President Capoeman is weighing those decisions personally.
He hasn't decided whether he'll move away from the lower village.
"At my age, I'm 54, the thought of taking on a home loan is something that is, you know, it's a big investment," Capoeman said.
Eison-Pelach said there's a generational divide, with some elders doubting the move will be necessary in their, or their children's, lifetimes.
The divide has fueled tense discussions in her own family, about what to do with the family home in the lower village. "No, Mom, we shouldn't put $15,000 into this because it's gonna get washed away," Eison-Pelach said she has told her mother.
Lia Frenchman said she looks forward to moving uphill and protecting her family from the rising ocean. Still, she said she'll miss the sounds of the surf and eagles overhead.
"I hear them whistling all day. My heart just breaks when I think about not being near that anymore," she said, starting to cry. "I know it's, at the same time, not reasonable and not safe. But it's a hard thing to accept."
Other tribes in Washington and Alaska are looking to relocate villages made vulnerable by rising seas, though few have made as much tangible progress as the Quinaults have.
"We've always made a point to be at the forefront of emerging concerns that affect Indian country [like] climate change," Capoeman said. "We see that these things are real."
In 2020, the Bureau of Indian Affairs estimated U.S. tribes would need $5 billion over the next 50 years to relocate or otherwise protect their infrastructure from climate change, with the greatest need in Alaska.
The Biden Administration issued multimillion-dollar grants in 2022 to tribes in Alaska, Louisiana, Maine, and Washington, including the Quinault, that are looking to move to higher ground.
The Quinault Nation was turned down for three federal grants in 2023 but received a $2 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant in February 2024 to help build housing for elders at the upland site.
Quinault officials still have to raise more money to fill the empty neighborhood with homes.
"If you know anybody with a big checkbook, give them my name," Capoeman said.
Frenchman said she's dreading having a house payment again and that it's going to be hard to abandon a site with so much history to it.
"But you know, you do what you have to do to protect your family," she said.

2024: The Year from Political Hell – Martin Armstrong
By Greg Hunter On February 17, 2024 In Political Analysis 39 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is predicting political turmoil, civilian unrest, war and a big economic downturn in 2024 in a new report called “The Year from Political Hell.” It’s not just a US election year, but it is an election year for more than half of the world. This is a global phenomenon which no one can be sure of the outcome. Armstrong explains, “This is not just the United States election. This is what you hear on the news locally. However, step outside this country, and, for example, Indonesia just voted in a leftist government. You have the EU going for elections. You have on May 2nd all the local elections in Britian. You have Russian elections on May 7th. 60% of the world is going to the polls in 2024 to vote for a new government. You might as well throw them into a tumbler, shake well and see what comes out. I mean it’s all over the place.”
On the war front, get ready for more mass killing, and don’t be surprised if it goes nuclear. Armstrong predicts, “There will be nuclear weapons. The neocons keep telling people on Capitol Hill that Russia would never use a nuke because they know we would use them back. That is nonsense! If you are about ready to conquer somebody, and this is all they’ve got left, they are pushing the button. . . . These people, all they want is war. They don’t care. They really do not care. They don’t care about the economy. They don’t care about anything.”
Armstrong says the coming war will make the economy “crash in 2024” as people get scared, spend a lot less and save a lot more. Armstrong says, “What we are looking at is a contraction in spending because of uncertainty. This is what these neocons are creating, and they don’t want to listen to anybody, and it is just their agenda, and they don’t care what happens to the country. . . .We are looking for a contraction of 12% to 18%. GDP is not going to be rising, but you are going to find inflation still rising.”
Armstrong also says to look for “a rebellion in government debt” as people lose faith in governments around the world. This rebellion in government issued debt will include US Treasuries, according to Armstrong. This means interest rates will continue to trend upward and not downward.
On volatility in the markets, Armstrong predicts, “Look for volatility to start around July, and there may be some false flags too.”
Armstrong continues to say Trump is still looking like he can “win in a landslide in 2024,” but expect the Deep State to pull every dirty trick in the book to keep him out of office. Armstrong points out, “If Trump gets back in power, they are all fired. . . . They know they are losing power. Instead of reforming and doing the right thing, they clamp down and they think they can retain power by pressing us even more. Sorry, but that’s what creates revolution.”
In closing, Armstrong says, “Pretty much everything is going wrong for the Deep State. . . . confidence in government has collapsed everywhere.”
This is what makes the Deep State Dems, RINOs and Neocons very dangerous.
By the way, Armstrong says he would be a buyer of physical gold to hold as a core asset.
There is much more in the 1-hour and 4-minute interview.

The staff said “We are paranoid” and called our team of surveyors “white supremacists…” MORE…
FEAR FROM NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ON THE BORDER When the illegal immigrant asked where the Mexican men dressed in military attire associated with the No Mas Muertes nonprofit were from, one responded, “From Sonora,” while another was from Tijuana – notorious Mexican cartel hotbeds. “I have a friend coming soon. He will take you to the city,” said one of the cartel-appearing men. “How much does he charge?” asked the illegal immigrant. “$300,” responded one of the cartel-appearing men. Hours later, these cartel-appearing men pointed guns at the illegal immigrant. In the middle of the Arizona desert over 60 miles southwest of Tucson, O’Keefe Media Group (“OMG”) risked their lives to investigate the shady activity of No Mas Muertes, or No More Deaths, a nonprofit organization claiming to provide humanitarian aid to illegal immigrants but has been raided by US law enforcement and whose members have been arrested by border patrol numerous times.
Posing as donors and land surveyors, and with the help of an illegal immigrant working undercover, OMG recordings show this nonprofit repeating “we are a little paranoid,” refusing to state their names, voicing hostility towards law enforcement, interrogating the undercover illegal immigrant “Why don’t you ask for asylum? Why don’t you ask border patrol for asylum?” and offering to transport the undercover illegal immigrant for $300 cash before pointing guns at him – actions related more to a human trafficking operation than a humanitarian nonprofit. No Mas Muertes workers refusing to provide their names or identifications stating: “You also don’t need the mask. I only put it on when the military shows up or when those white people show up, so they won’t take my picture” flies in the face of No More Deaths’ obligations as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization to follow the law.
Instead, it seems to skirt immigration laws and traffic humans. OMG’s exposé of secret illegal immigrant compounds funded by Catholic Community Services of Tucson coupled with this undercover footage of No More Deaths reveals the shocking proliferation of private tax-exempt nonprofit organizations working with the government or potentially dangerous cartels to engage in what amounts to human trafficking into the United States under the guise of humanitarian aid, without any scrutiny or accountability. Off the outskirts of the tiny town of Arivaca 40 minutes on a dirt road from Interstate 15 at 36455 S Papalote Wash Road, several people wearing construction vests planted flags into the ground as land surveyors would before being approached by someone who told them to leave: “Hey guys, this is private property.” These people were not, in fact, surveyors. They were @JamesOKeefeIII and members of his OMG team, equipped with hidden cameras to investigate the rise in suspicious nonprofit organizations operating at the U.S.–Mexico border.
The team was outside the secretive location of No Mas Muertes, or No More Deaths. Couched as a ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, whose tag line is “a liberal light in the desert,” No More Deaths appears to use its relationship to Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson to evade filing IRS documents of financial transparency (IRS Form 990) under an IRS exemption for religious organizations. After confirming the location was No More Deaths property, an OMG team member posing as a donor called Mary Weiss, an administrator for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson. On the call, Weiss represented No More Deaths was an “organization we actually partner with,” as “a ministry of the church,” located in Arivaca with a staff of 4-5 employees and budget of $400 Thousand. As the OMG team continued planting flags around the perimeter of the property, they sent a volunteer illegal immigrant with a hidden camera to observe No More Deaths from the inside. No More Deaths workers welcomed OMG undercover illegal immigrant and explained how they…

One dead, 22 shot — including 9 children — at Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade
By Social Links for Patrick Reilly
Published Feb. 14, 2024 Updated Feb. 14, 2024, 6:41 p.m. ET
One person was killed and 22 others injured after a shooting near the Kansas City Chief’s Super Bowl parade route following the festivities on Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
Panicked crowds raced for cover as gunfire erupted west of Union Station at the end of the victory parade — attended by thousands of fans.
The Kansas City Police Department said that one person died and a total of 22 were injured by gunfire. Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City told KSHB that the hospital is treating nine kids who have gunshot wounds.
Several suspected shooters were taken into custody by police, according to KSHB.
Video posted on social media shows police officers and military personnel sprinting into the train station shortly after shots were fired.
The officers seen entering the station were working to safely get people outside and treat victims, police said. KCPD confirmed no officers were involved in the shooting.
Other clips of the chaos show travelers running for their lives and several injured people being taken out on stretchers.
One man in a red hoodie and red sweatpants at the scene was in police custody.
Children’s Mercy Kansas City said it is receiving patients from the rally at this time, KSHB reported.
“Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act,” Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill wrote in a post that was retweeted by quarterback and Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes.
“Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing,” Tranquill added. Rick Burkholder, the Chiefs VP of Sports Medicine and performance, said that he, his wife and head coach Andy Reid’s family were all safe and heading on a bus to Arrowhead.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas urged revelers to “please stay clear of the area.”
Child reunification stations have been set up inside the main entrance of the station and at 2301 Main Street. Police said they “still have several needing reunification.”

Iran Tests Ballistic Missiles in Preparation for Strike on Israel
Tehran simulates attack on Israeli hangar housing American-made F-35s
Adam Kredo February 14, 2024
Iran test fired advanced ballistic missiles on Tuesday in a series of war drills meant to prepare the Islamic Republic for a strike on Israeli military sites that house American-made F-35 fighter jets, according to the country’s state-controlled media.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is behind a series of recent strikes on American and Israeli positions across the Middle East, "simulated destroying hangars housing the Israeli regime's United States-procured F-35 warplanes by using ballistic missiles," according to information about the drills published in Tehran’s official media outlets.
During the war simulation, the IRGC fired "enhanced versions of its Emad and Qadr ballistic missiles against the F-35 hangars located inside a mock-up of the Tel Aviv regime's Palmachim Airbase," located just outside of the major Israeli city. Iran claims its missiles are capable of striking deep into Israel and are capable of traveling more than 1,000 miles.
Iran’s latest war drills come as its terrorist proxies in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon carry out increasingly deadly operations against U.S. and Israeli forces in the region, including a late January strike by the Houthi militant group that killed three American military members and sparked a spate of retaliatory attacks by America.
An attack on Israel’s store of F-35s would deal a devastating blow to the Jewish state as it faces down a conflict with Hamas on its southern border and an increasingly dangerous threat from Hezbollah on its northern border.
Tensions were also heightened on Wednesday afternoon when the House Intelligence Committee disclosed that it has viewed classified materials outlining "a serious national security threat."
The committee did not disclose any information about the nature of the threat, instead issuing a vague statement saying that lawmakers are working to get the intelligence declassified.
"The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat," Rep. Mike Turner (R., Ohio), the committee’s chair, said in the statement. "I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat."
Further information about the matter was not immediately available and the Intelligence Committee did not immediately respond to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry. Early reports on social media said the Intelligence Committee is referring to a "highly concerning and destabilizing" military move by Russia.
A massive explosion Tuesday at an Iranian gas line also heightened the possibility of an Israeli confrontation with Tehran, as the hardline regime claimed the incident was a "terrorist act of sabotage."
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister met with the Hamas terror group's senior leadership during a visit on Tuesday to Qatar, which shelters the organization’s top officials. The meeting signals Tehran will continue backing Hamas as it wages war on Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.

Iran declares Antarctica its property in direct challenge to Biden, global treaty
Fox News Benjamin Weinthal Thu, February 15, 2024, 4:00 AM EST·4 min read
JERUSALEM — Iran’s Navy commander announced in a televised broadcast last fall that the regime owns Antarctica and will build a military operation in the South Pole.
"We have property rights in the South Pole. We have plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work," Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said in late September, according to a translation by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Iran’s naval saber-rattling is drawing new attention in response to the Iranian-backed militias that murdered three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.
Fox News Digital asked a U.S. State Department spokesperson if the recent American unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar could be used by Iran to set up a base in Antarctica.
"No. Iran’s funds held in Qatar may not be used for any activities in Antarctica," the spokesperson said. "Those funds can only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, meaning food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products."
Despite the clerical regime’s growing bellicosity in the Middle East and across the world, according to veteran Iran observers, the Biden administration released $6 billion in sanctions relief to Tehran’s rulers ahead of the Iran-backed Hamas massacre of 1,200 people Oct. 7 in southern Israel. Hamas slaughtered over 30 Americans during its invasion of Israel.
Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, who was sanctioned by former President Trump for his role in the two massacres of Iranian dissidents and protesters, disputed the Biden administration’s restrictions on the use of the $6 billion. Raisi taunted Biden’s White House, declaring his regime will use the massive cash infusion "wherever we need it."
"Iran's future plans to try to expand its military presence and influence into the Antarctic would not only violate multilateral conventions on the issue, but continues the regime's trend of aggression across the globe," said Yonah Jeremy Bob, author of "Target Tehran" and a senior Jerusalem Post military and intelligence analyst.
"Whether through terrorism on basically every continent or its rampant piracy in the maritime arena, the Islamic Republic continues to show why it is a danger to world stability and why Israel and the Mossad's role in holding it back from nuclear weapons remains critical."
IRAN HOLDS TOP MILITARY DRILLS IN MAJOR OIL WATERWAY IN 'WAR BEFORE THE WAR'
"Every time Tehran expands its tentacles into a new area to disrupt the rules-based order promoted by the West, the U.S. and its allies are given an additional opportunity to take the nuclear threat more seriously. Antarctica might seem a distant threat, but if the West acts as meekly as it did when Iran recently kicked out nuclear weapons inspectors, the Islamic Republic will only become further emboldened on other track," he added.
Fox News Digital reported in February 2023 that the United States tracked warlike announcements by Iran's navy chief that Tehran plans to establish a military presence at the Panama Canal. Iran deployed two military ships to Brazil at the time that were headed for the Panama Canal.
In December, the Islamic Republic claimed it was building "smart" cruise missiles for its navy arsenal.
WHITE HOUSE ACCUSES IRAN OF GIFTING 'SEVERAL HUNDRED' DRONES TO RUSSIA
"It’s an arcane topic, but little lies between Iran’s coast outside the Persian Gulf and the eastern hemisphere side of Antarctica," Jennifer Dyer, a retired commander of U.S. Naval Intelligence, told Fox News Digital
"In theory, Iran could claim an interest in Antarctica similar to India’s, Australia’s, New Zealand’s or Chile’s (or those of the U.K. and France, for that matter), with their island outposts in the southern hemisphere.
"I can say that raising the flag at the South Pole doesn’t carry any implications in international law. The Antarctic Treaty (which became effective in 1961) has a specific provision that no action by any nation after 1961 can be the basis of a territorial claim on the continent."
"Iran isn’t a signatory to the treaty and might try to do frisky things in Antarctica," Dyer noted. "Those things wouldn’t be recognized by other nations, at least as matters stand now. The U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Japan, India, China and Russia are all signatories to the treaty, as are Brazil, and Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, the ‘jumping off’ nations closest to the continent."
Potkin Azarmehr, an expert on Iran, told Fox News Digital, "Everything in Iran is reminiscent of the USSR in its last days before collapse. Ambitious but pointless plans by a state with completely wrong priorities. Unable to provide basic services to its people, bankrupt institutions but full of grandiose talks"
Fox News Digital sent press queries to Iran’s Foreign Ministry and its U.N. mission in New York.

BERLIN FALL Tractors protest by farmers, economy in freefall and rise of Far Right have turned Germany into sick man of Europe
Some 500 tractors gathered at Berlin’s landmark Brandenburg Gate and 5,000 paraded through Munich’s streets
Oliver Harvey Published: 21:00, 15 Jan 2024
LIGHTS flashing and horns blaring, 3,000 tractors trundled through Hanover in Germany bringing its streets to a gridlocked standstill.
Stepping down from his cab, arable farmer Axel Friehe told me his beleaguered nation’s economy is “breaking down”.
“We hope our protests are the start of something big,” he said of the tractor cavalcade being cheered by locals.
Farmer Friehe, 51, may soon have his wish.
Troubled Germany’s major cities have been paralysed by demonstrating agricultural workers, truckers and small business people.
Some 500 tractors gathered at Berlin’s landmark Brandenburg Gate and 5,000 paraded through Munich’s streets.
While French farmers have made protesting something of a national pastime — infamously torching a lorry full of British sheep in 1990 — their German counterparts are traditionally less militant.
Yet a heavy-handed bid by its government to slash a tax break on diesel used in agricultural machinery — worth around £2,500 a year to each farmer — has made zealots of German country folk.
I watched on Wednesday as locals in Hanover gave farmers hearty cheers and the thumbs up despite the traffic tailbacks in the north German city of 536,000 citizens.
For the tractor strike is a symptom of a wider malaise gripping Germany.
The country’s once booming export market made it the industrial powerhouse at the heart of Europe.
Yet since the pandemic its sluggish economy has grown by just 0.3 per cent — compared to 1.4 per cent in the UK — making it by far the worst performer in the G7 group of nations.
Stringent green initiatives, including the rolling out of heat pumps, have been unpopular with many.
‘Hungry, naked and sober’
And mass migration — last year Germany had more than 350,000 asylum applications — has become a major political flashpoint.
Its ruling coalition of the left-of- centre Social Democratic Party, the Greens and liberal Free Democrats have been trying to plug a near £15billion budget black hole.
Into this economic and social maelstrom has stepped the far-right Alternative for Deutschland, who critics say are “infiltrating” the farmers’ demonstrations.
A YouGov poll last Sunday showed almost one in four Germans — 24 per cent — backed the AfD.
Last week it was reported that high-ranking AfD officials were caught at a secret conference where a “masterplan” for the forced deportation of millions of migrants to Africa was discussed.
The meeting, at a luxury hotel last November, featured a talk by far-right Identitarian Movement activist Martin Sellner, who is permanently banned from the UK for extremism.
It was claimed that the “remigration” proposals discussed at the event, infiltrated by news network Collectiv, included deporting immigrants with German passports.
Those in attendance — reportedly alongside neo-Nazis — included Roland Hartwig, a personal aide to AfD leader Alice Weidel, and AfD MP Gerrit Huy.
The AfD denied it had a “secret plan” but added: “We need passport withdrawal for criminals and remigration!”
At last week’s Hanover protest, turnip farmer Christoph Berndt, 31, insisted: “The AfD use the demonstrations to draw attention to themselves.
“They say the farmers are on their side, which isn’t true.”
Driving nearly 40 miles on his green John Deere tractor to be at the good-natured demonstration, he added: “The politicians in Berlin make it more difficult for us to work and make money.
“So we go on to the street and try to animate people to understand us and what we do in the fields.”
German flags fluttered from tractor cabs with signs on their front loaders reading: “No food without us.”
Another read: “Without agriculture you’d be hungry, naked and sober.”
Air horns sounded in the sub-zero chill as farmers gathered outside Lower Saxony’s regional parliament building in Hanover.
Expressing the fury felt by many, Volker Hahn, who helped to organise the demo, said: “The Government needs money and they will take it from the farmers. It’s a horrible situation.”
Volker, 55, who tends pigs, chickens and potatoes at his 600-acre farm, added: “We don’t welcome the support of AfD.
"They’re extreme.”
To add to the air of despondency felt by many, Hanover and other German cities have also been crippled by train driver strikes this week.
At the parliament building I met Sonja Markgraf, from the Rural People of Lower Saxony group, which also helped to organise the tractor protest.
She said: “The French people were always on the barricades but in Germany everyone felt comfortable.”
Now, she says, times have changed, with farmers seething at being asked to help plug the Government’s budget gap.
She added: “We are very happy that the protests are peaceful — but loud. The population stands behind us.”
Sonja, 53, says people from all backgrounds are facing unrealistic demands on environmental issues.
She added: “Heat pumps are a good example. It’s not wrong to do it, it’s the way they do it.
“It was too quick, wasn’t well explained and people are worried about the price.
"Reforms are necessary but you have to take the people with you.
“This feeling is in every part of the population, whether you’re poor, rich or middle-class. It’s not great for the general mood.”
She blames people’s fears over illegal immigration for AfD’s rise, saying: “Even three or four years ago it wasn’t an issue.
"Now the municipalities say they have no rooms, no flats or apartments so it’s more visible now.
“So the AfD tries to profit from it.”
Germany has long been renowned in British minds as a land of efficiency, where everything works.
It was praised for how it faced up to its Nazi past and built a vibrant, liberal democracy with a turbo-charged economy.
That booming post-war Germany was summed up in Audi’s 1980s advertising slogan “vorsprung durch technik”, meaning “progress through technology”.
Now its famed export trade of cars and machinery is in deep trouble.
German car makers produced almost 40 per cent fewer vehicles in 2022 than they did a decade previously.
Once reliant on Russian gas, Germany saw energy prices soar after Vladimir Putin’s 2022 Ukraine invasion.
And politicians have failed to tackle creaking infrastructure, a housing shortage and high-speed internet rollout.
Labelled the Sick Man of Europe — an historic term that was used to describe Britain in the 1970s — its economy is predicted to perform worse than Britain’s in the next decade.
Though expected to return to growth this year, Germany — the world’s third biggest economy — is forecast to be overtaken by Japan in 2026 and India in 2027.
At Hanover’s regional parliament building I met the AfD’s Frank Rinck, who denies his far-right party has “infiltrated” the farmers’ demos.
The MP and chairman of the Lower Saxony AfD said the group were “simply engaging with these demonstrations like any other political party”.
Frank, an agricultural contractor, says the Government’s subsidy cut will lead to a “further death” of the farming sector.
He added: “At some point our domestic agricultural sector will not be able to feed indigenous people.”
He said it was news to him that AfD politicians had attended a “remigration” conference, describing reports as “a storm in a teacup”.
He added: “In Germany things like this tend to come up when problems arise and people demonstrate.”
Watching the AfD’s rise warily are the centre-right Christian Democratic Union party, currently Germany’s leading party in opinion polls.
Its agriculture spokesman in Lower Saxony’s parliament, Dr Marco Mohrmann, ruled out working with the AfD in a coalition.
The dad of three told me: “A big part of the AfD is extreme right — and that’s not our way.”
While accepting Germany should take in asylum seekers and skilled migrants, he admitted Britain’s stuttering Rwanda policy may also be a way forward for his country.
Conservative-leaning Marco, 59, said: “I think the model the UK is doing with Rwanda is interesting.
"It’s a third-country solution where you can look at someone and decide if they can get asylum or not.
“A year ago we couldn’t discuss something like this but now we can, and we have to.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has tried to contain farmers’ rage by phasing out the diesel tax break over time and scrapping plans to abolish tax exemption on agricultural vehicles.
Yet the scale of the protests — and their support across German society — suggests he has not done enough.
Yesterday 5,000 tractors and 10,000 protesters blockaded Berlin in a climax to a week of protest. Fresh talks with Government representatives are set.

Rural People of Lower Saxony’s Sonja Markgraf insisted: “If it’s not good for the farmers then we say, ‘We go on’.”

Russian plans for space-based nuclear weapon to target satellites spark concern in US Congress
News
By Brett Tingley published 15 February 2024
The capability is still in development and the launch of such a weapon does "not appear imminent."
Russia is reportedly developing a space-based nuclear weapon designed to disable or destroy satellites.
The United States Congress and America's European allies were informed of Russia's plans to develop the anti-satellite capability on Wednesday (Feb. 14). It's unclear what the exact nature of the planned weapon is — that is, whether it involves detonating a nuclear explosive in space or is another anti-satellite technology powered by a space-based nuclear reactor.
According to the intelligence presented to Congress, the U.S. military "does not have the ability to counter such a weapon and defend its satellites," according to a report in the New York Times. The report adds that U.S. government officials do not believe that such a weapon will be launched any time soon, but that there is "a limited window of time" to stop it from being launched and deployed.
Orbital nuclear weapons are currently banned due to the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, although there have been concerns of late that Russia might be backing out of the treaty in order to pursue further militarization of space.
Concerns over the development of such a weapon spread like wildfire on Wednesday (Feb. 14) after House Intelligence Committee chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) issued a public statement asking President Biden to "declassify all information relating to this threat" so the U.S. government and its allies can "openly discuss the actions necessary to respond."
Other members of Congress have responded to Turner's request, downplaying the severity of the reported Russian pursuit of a nuclear space weapon. "The classified intelligence product that the House Intelligence Committee called to the attention of Members last night is a significant one, but it is not a cause for panic," said Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, in a statement.
"As to whether more can be declassified about this issue, that is a worthwhile discussion but it is not a discussion to be had in public," Himes added.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issued a separate statement that downplays the threat posed by Turner's request. "I saw Chairman Turner's statement on the issue and I want to assure the American people there's no need for public alarm," Johnson said.
It's unclear why this particular intelligence was highlighted at this time, but there is some speculation that it could be related to Russia's Feb. 9 launch of a classified satellite known as Cosmos 2575.
\4 one more thing - I would not be surprised if this was linked to Cosmos 2575, which is a classified Russian satellite launched on Feb 9, which would be just enough time for the IC to do its thing... https://t.co/RQyRRhhZHJ February 14, 2024

On the same day Turner's comments went viral, the U.S. Space Force launched six satellites designed to detect and track missile launches.
A nuclear detonation in space could have both immediate and long-lasting effects in Earth's orbit. In the immediate aftermath, nuclear explosions could cause a multitude of damaging effects; pulses of high-energy radiation such as heat, x-rays and other radiation can "can damage nearby satellites and blind their sensors," according to a 2023 study by the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS).
In terms of longer-lasting effects, the naturally occurring belts of radiation that surround our planet could trap radiation released by a nuclear explosion, producing "longer lasting radiation belts that caused deleterious effects to satellites then in orbit or launched soon thereafter," according to a report published in 2008 by the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.
The same phenomenon was observed after the United States detonated a nuclear warhead at high altitude in 1962 during the "Starfish Prime" nuclear test conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission, a precursor to the Department of Energy.
The test saw a 1.4-Megaton device detonated 250 miles (400 km) above the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. The Soviet Union also detonated three nuclear devices at high-altitude that same year.
Nuclear weapons aren't the only anti-satellite capabilities Russia — and other nations — are pursuing. Russia has been fielding ground-based lasers that can blind satellites, and has tested anti-satellite missiles widely condemned by the international community due to the amount of dangerous debris it produced in Earth'sorbit.
The U.S military has signaled in recent months that both Russia and the People's Republic of China (PRC) are seeking to turn space into a "warfighting domain" and are "deploying capabilities that can target GPS and other vital space-based systems," according to U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks.

Iran test fired advanced ballistic missiles on Tuesday in a series of war drills meant to prepare the Islamic Republic for a strike on Israeli military sites that house American-made F-35 fighter jets, according to the country’s state-controlled media.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is behind a series of recent strikes on American and Israeli positions across the Middle East, "simulated destroying hangars housing the Israeli regime's United States-procured F-35 warplanes by using ballistic missiles," according to information about the drills published in Tehran’s official media outlets.
During the war simulation, the IRGC fired "enhanced versions of its Emad and Qadr ballistic missiles against the F-35 hangars located inside a mock-up of the Tel Aviv regime's Palmachim Airbase," located just outside of the major Israeli city. Iran claims its missiles are capable of striking deep into Israel and are capable of traveling more than 1,000 miles.
Iran’s latest war drills come as its terrorist proxies in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon carry out increasingly deadly operations against U.S. and Israeli forces in the region, including a late January strike by the Houthi militant group that killed three American military members and sparked a spate of retaliatory attacks by America.
An attack on Israel’s store of F-35s would deal a devastating blow to the Jewish state as it faces down a conflict with Hamas on its southern border and an increasingly dangerous threat from Hezbollah on its northern border.
Tensions were also heightened on Wednesday afternoon when the House Intelligence Committee disclosed that it has viewed classified materials outlining "a serious national security threat."
The committee did not disclose any information about the nature of the threat, instead issuing a vague statement saying that lawmakers are working to get the intelligence declassified.
"The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat," Rep. Mike Turner (R., Ohio), the committee’s chair, said in the statement. "I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat."
Further information about the matter was not immediately available and the Intelligence Committee did not immediately respond to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry. Early reports on social media said the Intelligence Committee is referring to a "highly concerning and destabilizing" military move by Russia.
A massive explosion Tuesday at an Iranian gas line also heightened the possibility of an Israeli confrontation with Tehran, as the hardline regime claimed the incident was a "terrorist act of sabotage."
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister met with the Hamas terror group's senior leadership during a visit on Tuesday to Qatar, which shelters the organization’s top officials. The meeting signals Tehran will continue backing Hamas as it wages war on Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.

Iran declares Antarctica its property in direct challenge to Biden, global treaty
Fox News Benjamin Weinthal
Thu, February 15, 2024, 4:00 AM EST·4 min read
JERUSALEM — Iran’s Navy commander announced in a televised broadcast last fall that the regime owns Antarctica and will build a military operation in the South Pole.
"We have property rights in the South Pole. We have plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work," Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said in late September, according to a translation by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Iran’s naval saber-rattling is drawing new attention in response to the Iranian-backed militias that murdered three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.
Fox News Digital asked a U.S. State Department spokesperson if the recent American unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar could be used by Iran to set up a base in Antarctica.
"No. Iran’s funds held in Qatar may not be used for any activities in Antarctica," the spokesperson said. "Those funds can only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, meaning food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products."
Despite the clerical regime’s growing bellicosity in the Middle East and across the world, according to veteran Iran observers, the Biden administration released $6 billion in sanctions relief to Tehran’s rulers ahead of the Iran-backed Hamas massacre of 1,200 people Oct. 7 in southern Israel. Hamas slaughtered over 30 Americans during its invasion of Israel.
Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, who was sanctioned by former President Trump for his role in the two massacres of Iranian dissidents and protesters, disputed the Biden administration’s restrictions on the use of the $6 billion. Raisi taunted Biden’s White House, declaring his regime will use the massive cash infusion "wherever we need it."
"Iran's future plans to try to expand its military presence and influence into the Antarctic would not only violate multilateral conventions on the issue, but continues the regime's trend of aggression across the globe," said Yonah Jeremy Bob, author of "Target Tehran" and a senior Jerusalem Post military and intelligence analyst.
"Whether through terrorism on basically every continent or its rampant piracy in the maritime arena, the Islamic Republic continues to show why it is a danger to world stability and why Israel and the Mossad's role in holding it back from nuclear weapons remains critical."
IRAN HOLDS TOP MILITARY DRILLS IN MAJOR OIL WATERWAY IN 'WAR BEFORE THE WAR'
"Every time Tehran expands its tentacles into a new area to disrupt the rules-based order promoted by the West, the U.S. and its allies are given an additional opportunity to take the nuclear threat more seriously. Antarctica might seem a distant threat, but if the West acts as meekly as it did when Iran recently kicked out nuclear weapons inspectors, the Islamic Republic will only become further emboldened on other track," he added.
Fox News Digital reported in February 2023 that the United States tracked warlike announcements by Iran's navy chief that Tehran plans to establish a military presence at the Panama Canal. Iran deployed two military ships to Brazil at the time that were headed for the Panama Canal.
In December, the Islamic Republic claimed it was building "smart" cruise missiles for its navy arsenal.
WHITE HOUSE ACCUSES IRAN OF GIFTING 'SEVERAL HUNDRED' DRONES TO RUSSIA
"It’s an arcane topic, but little lies between Iran’s coast outside the Persian Gulf and the eastern hemisphere side of Antarctica," Jennifer Dyer, a retired commander of U.S. Naval Intelligence, told Fox News Digital
"In theory, Iran could claim an interest in Antarctica similar to India’s, Australia’s, New Zealand’s or Chile’s (or those of the U.K. and France, for that matter), with their island outposts in the southern hemisphere.
"I can say that raising the flag at the South Pole doesn’t carry any implications in international law. The Antarctic Treaty (which became effective in 1961) has a specific provision that no action by any nation after 1961 can be the basis of a territorial claim on the continent."
"Iran isn’t a signatory to the treaty and might try to do frisky things in Antarctica," Dyer noted. "Those things wouldn’t be recognized by other nations, at least as matters stand now. The U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Japan, India, China and Russia are all signatories to the treaty, as are Brazil, and Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, the ‘jumping off’ nations closest to the continent."
Potkin Azarmehr, an expert on Iran, told Fox News Digital, "Everything in Iran is reminiscent of the USSR in its last days before collapse. Ambitious but pointless plans by a state with completely wrong priorities. Unable to provide basic services to its people, bankrupt institutions but full of grandiose talks"
Fox News Digital sent press queries to Iran’s Foreign Ministry and its U.N. mission in New York.

Think the US exit from Afghanistan was bad? Look what's brewing in the Pacific
Lose the Central Pacific and every nation counting on us will hedge their bets, which China will love
By Grant Newsham Fox News
Published February 14, 2024 5:00am EST | Updated February 14, 2024 5:09am EST
You think America’s tail-between-its-legs departure from Afghanistan was bad? Something even worse is coming in the Pacific, albeit more quietly.
U.S. defenses in the Asia-Pacific center on a defense line running from Japan to Philippines to Taiwan and on to Borneo. The so-called First Island Chain.
Try defending against China along the first island chain without a secure "rear area" in the Central Pacific. And suppose it’s the Chinese in the rear.
American control of the Central Pacific depends on three treaties – known as Compacts of Free Association (COFA) – with three nations: Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and Republic of Marshall Islands. These nations and their huge maritime territory comprise most of an "east-west corridor" from Hawaii to the western edge of the Pacific that is essential for U.S. control and military operations in the region.
CHINESE HACKERS HAD ACCESS TO US INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ‘AT LEAST 5 YEARS’ BEFORE DISCOVERY
The COFAs give the United States the legal authority to operate freely and to keep other nations’ militaries out. In other words, military access and control.
As part of the agreements, the three nations receive financial and other support from the U.S., to include the right of citizens to reside and work in America. And one should never forget that COFA state citizens serve in the U.S. military at higher per-capita rates than almost all U.S. states.
The COFA agreements are up for renewal, and the agreements have passed the tortuous dozen or so committees and now just need to be voted on and passed. That is very much in doubt.
One issue is $2.3 billion in offsets. That means that to fund the COFAs, $2.3 billion has to come out of the federal budget elsewhere.
The $2.3 billion is over 20 years so it averages out to about $40 million a year for each country. Yes, $40 million. A half-hour of Medicaid fraud.
We blew a trillion or two in Afghanistan. And we’re complaining about $120 million a year?
Everyone is blaming everyone else.
AS CHINA THREAT GROWS IN ASIA, JAPAN TO OPEN NATO LIAISON OFFICE TO COUNTER BEIJING
Congress blames other parts of the Congress and the White House. The White House blames Congress.
The White House can find the money if it wanted. It doesn’t.
There was in fact an Asia tsar at the White House National Security Council, Kurt Campbell, who should have made passage of the COFAs his mission. He was the "tsar" after all. Instead, he bailed out and has failed upwards – just confirmed as assistant secretary of state. Par for the course in Washington.
Congress could find the money too, if it wanted. It doesn’t – or is distracted by "the border," Ukraine, Gaza and any number of things.
Maybe the Department of Defense (DOD), which has to do the hard work of defending the Asia Pacific, could show some initiative and imagination, and offer to redirect the money from elsewhere in its large budget.
Just $120 million a year? That’s easy.
Cut DEI programs in DOD and anyone connected with them.
JOINT CHIEFS CHAIR RESPONDS TO CLAIM US IS UNPREPARED TO FACE CHINA THREAT, SAYS NATO ‘STRONGER’ THAN EVER
Cut 10% of FOGOs – that’s "flag officers, general officers." That’d easily get your money – and nobody would notice the "flags" were missing.
Worse, it’s said the COFA agreements were in fact arbitrarily removed from consideration the other day by a "budget conscious" congresswoman, even though the bill it was in wouldn’t even have required an offset. Now other senators are trying to get it back in.
Lose the Central Pacific and we’ll be defending from Hawaii and SoCal while every country that was counting on us – Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia and others – start to hedge their bets.
China will love it.
The PRC already has strong commercial and political presence in the COFA states (and just about every other Pacific island nation) and is aiming to pry them away from the United States. And it’s succeeding.
Among the common approaches are financial payments, economic aid, bribes to officials, facilitating the entry of Chinese organized crime and even encouraging secession movements to weaken recalcitrant federal governments.
The president of each COFA nation is said to have a blank check from China on the desk. They haven’t been cashed – such is their deep attachment to the United States.
But their patience is not unlimited – and they notice when their erstwhile friend is giving them short shrift. Indeed, they are darn angry – though they won’t show it.
Imagine you’re the president, and you’ve spent much of your term negotiating a deal with the United States that you and Washington finally signed. Then, you have to tell your citizens, months later, that Congress cares so little it hasn’t even scheduled a vote on the deal so we don’t have money for the post offices, schools, pensions or medicine – and taxes are going to have to go up.
Meanwhile, China is offering to solve all your problems.
This is serious. The price of not renewing the COFAs – and continuing to do what is necessary to maintain our ties with these nations – will be paid by many dead American service personnel.
One wishes the commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Adm. John Aquilino, would put his stars on the table, and resign over this clown show.
Will he? Of course not. That sort of thing doesn’t happen anymore. The current crowd are not the same as the famous World War II admirals Chester Nimitz, William Halsey and Raymond Spruance.
And speaking of our friends in the Asia Pacific, perhaps Japan might step in and offer to pay?

It wouldn’t be the first time Japan Inc. got out its checkbook when it saw its interests at risk.

Kremlin says PA's Abbas has 'standing invitation' to Moscow
Russia continues its quest for the role of the global South's voice amid the country's war in Ukraine
i24NEWS February 13, 2024, 2:51 AM
Kremlin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow hopes for a visit by the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas, reported RIA News on Tuesday.
The visit was initially meant to take place in November, but Abbas cancelled the trip over the Israel-Hamas war. "Abbas has a standing invitation. We hope that the visit will take place at a time convenient for both parties," Peskov told RIA News.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in December spoke with Abbas over the phone discussing Moscow's diplomatic efforts to assist the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Palestinian agency WAFA then noted, Abbas thanked Putin for his political support.
“Russia will continue to supply the Gaza Strip with essential goods, including medicines and medical equipment,” Russian President told his PA counterpart, according to the Kremlin's readout.
Putin also stressed the “importance of a quick cessation of the bloodshed and the resumption of the political process" to establish a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines. "In this context, Russia support the efforts made by the Palestinian leadership led by Mahmoud Abbas,” the Kremlin readout stated.
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, Moscow has sought to position itself as the voice of the global South - in opposition to the West that has isolated Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
In February, Russia's ruling party "United Russia" will reportedly hold an international forum against neocolonialism.
Additionally, in many ways a Russia-promoted BRICS alliance has expanded in 2024 and now includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirate, Iran and Ethiopia.
Meanwhile, Israel has voiced its criticism over Russia's links with Hamas and increased cooperation with Iran as well as some of Russian officials' antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetorics. The latter resulted in Russia's Foreign Ministry summoning Israel's ambassador Simona Halperin.
Additionally, Israel's envoy to the United Nations (UN) Gilard Erdan stated that Russia exploits the situation in Gaza to distract the international community its crimes committed in Ukraine.
"The Russians are trying to take advantage of this war to distract attention from their crimes in Ukraine and try to position us as war criminals because the U.S. is on our side and this is their way of embarrassing the Americans."

California And Nevada Have Been Rocked By 945 Earthquakes In Just The Past Week
February 12, 2024 by Michael
Have you noticed that the state of California has been getting absolutely monkey-hammered by earthquakes lately? According to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center, California and Nevada have been hit by a total of 945 earthquakes within the last seven days. That is a whole lot of shaking! As you can see from this map, southern California has been getting pummeled more than anywhere else. Could it be possible that the trillions of gallons of rain that were dumped on the region earlier this month have something to do with all of this? As I have discussed previously, scientists have determined that flooding can put an enormous amount of stress on fault lines. And without a doubt we have seen an unusual level of activity along California’s fault lines in recent days.
13 significant earthquakes, including one measuring magnitude 4.8, shook the state very early on Monday morning in a span of just 25 minutes…
Parts of California were hit by more than a dozen earthquakes overnight, with 13 shaking the state during a span of just 25 minutes.
“Good morning Southern California! Did you feel the magnitude 4.8 earthquake about two miles north-west of El Centro at 12.36am? The #ShakeAlert system was activated,” the United States Geological Survey Shake Alert account posted on X.
The good news is that none of the earthquakes were large enough to do much damage.
But the magnitude 4.8 quake was keenly felt by some local residents…
Although some near the area said they hadn’t felt the tremors, one X user wrote: “Definitely felt much stronger than a 4.8.” Another added: “Earthquake swarms just as I was about to go to bed. strong enough for things to fall and break. sadly, a few broken decorations.”
When people hear about earthquakes in California, most immediately think of the San Andreas fault system, but it was actually the San Jacinto fault system that caused most of the problems early on Monday…
The quakes appear to have been caused by the San Jacinto fault system, meteorologists have said. It is one of the most active faults in southern California.
Overall, the USGS says that there have been 27 significant quakes of at least magnitude 2.5 that have hit the state within the past 24 hours.
That certainly isn’t anything to freak out about, but it is definitely noteworthy.
And all of this activity comes just a few days after a magnitude 4.6 earthquake shook up the wealthy residents of Malibu…
A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck about 8 miles northwest of Malibu on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The earthquake was reported at 1:47 p.m., the USGS website said. It occurred at a geological depth of 13.9 kilometers, or nearly 9 miles.
The USGS is reporting at least a dozen aftershocks, with the largest measuring at a magnitude of 3.0.
We haven’t seen this sort of sustained seismic activity in southern California in a long time.
Is something very unusual starting to happen?
Let’s keep a very close eye on the numbers coming from the Southern California Earthquake Data Center.
If the number of quakes in a week rises above 1,000 and stays there, I would say that there is cause for alarm.
As I wrote about earlier this month, scientists assure us that we are way overdue for “the Big One”.
When it finally arrives, the ground on the western side of a major fault line could suddenly drop by several feet (or more), and because much of that area is just barely above sea level that could potentially allow the Pacific Ocean to come rushing in.
Let us hope that nothing like that happens any time soon.
But right now the flooding that has recently occurred in the region is putting a tremendous amount of stress on the fault lines.
Unfortunately, it can take a long time for extra water to disappear.
Just look at what has happened in Death Valley. Hurricane Hilary dumped so much rain on the area last August that it actually created a lake, and it is still there after all this time…
A lake has formed in an area of the US considered one of the driest places on earth seven months after it was battered by storms. Death Valley National Park, California, holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded on July 10, 1913, according to the World Meteorological Organization, at 134 degrees.
However, despite being the driest place in North America, a lake which formed after Hurricane Hilary in August 2023 has yet to fully dry up. Death Valley typically receives about 2 inches of rain per year, however, the official weather gauge at Furnace Creek has measured 4.9 inches in the past six months. On August 20 last year, over a years worth of rain fell in one day with 2.2 inches being measured.
I never would have imagined it would be possible for a lake to exist in Death Valley for six months.
But we do not live in normal times.
Speaking of that, we are being warned that the Gulf Stream is in danger of shutting down in the not too distant future…
In the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow, humanity is plunged into a nightmarish international storm that sends the planet into a new ice age.
And although the blockbuster was consigned to the realms of sci-fi, the science behind the frightening scenario is true.
In a matter of years, melting glaciers could shut down the Gulf Stream – the system of currents that brings warmth to the northern hemisphere, experts say.
Without this additional heat source, average temperatures could drop by several degrees in North America, parts of Asia and Europe, and people would see ‘severe and cascading consequences around the world’.
Can you imagine what our world would look like if that actually happened?
Much of Europe and North America would no longer be able to grow crops, and global famine would be guaranteed.
A lot of people would rather not think about such matters.
But just because things have been a certain way in the past does not mean that they will continue to be that way in the future.
We really are on the verge of apocalyptic times, and global events will soon turn all of our lives completely upside down.
Sadly, most of the population isn’t paying much attention to what is happening, and for the moment ignorance is bliss.

Moment 'lost puppy' President goes on a walkabout as he introduces Jordanian King to the podium during their joint press conference
By Paul Farrell For Dailymail.Com
Published: 05:16 EST, 13 February 2024 | Updated: 08:59 EST, 13 February 2024
President Joe Biden wandered around the podium like a 'lost puppy' during a crucial press conference regarding the on going conflict in Israel alongside Jordanian King Abdullah at the White House on Tuesday.
After delivering remarks, Biden, 81, told the king: 'Your majesty, over to you.' The Scranton-native proceeded to stand back to the king's left, laser focused on the floor, apparently looking for a marker. Right-wing commentator Benny Johnson described the president as looking like a 'lost puppy.'
A few seconds later, Biden walks to the other side of the king, still looking for a mark. He then goes back to his first choice, in front of Jordan's flag. 'I switched sides on you,' he remarked while smiling at the king.
This latest embarrassing moment comes after a week of a gaffes which saw him forget the name of terror group Hamas, refer to 46-year-old French President Emmanuel Macron by name of deceased president François Mitterrand, who passed away age 79 in 1996, and finally referring to former German leader Angela Merkel as deceased chancellor Helmut Kohl.
Also last week, Biden pushed back against a report from special counsel Robert Hur in which the octogenarian president's mental faculties were severely questioned to the point that it was speculated he could not pinpoint when his son, Beau, died.
Hours after the Abdullah gaffe, liberal icon Jon Stewart skewered Biden's response to the report with even The New York Times editorial pages questioning the Democrat's presidency.
Hur found evidence that Biden willfully held onto and shared with a ghostwriter highly classified information, the special counsel devoted much of his report to explaining why he did not believe the evidence met the standard for criminal charges.
Among the reasons cited for this conclusion was the high probability that the Justice Department would not be able to prove Biden's intent beyond a reasonable doubt, due to advanced age that they said made him forgetful and the possibility of 'innocent explanations' for the records that they could not refute.
'I did not share classified information,' Biden insisted. 'I did not share it with my ghostwriter.' He added he wasn't aware how the boxes containing classified documents ended up in his garage.
And in response to Hur's portrayal of him, Biden insisted to reporters that 'My memory is fine,' and said he believes he remains the most qualified person to serve as president.
'How in the hell dare he raise that?' Biden asked, about Hur's comments regarding his son's death, saying he didn't believe it was any of Hur's business.
The meeting with Abdullah comes as Biden and his aides are working to broker another pause in Israel's war against Hamas in order to send humanitarian aid and supplies into the region and get hostages out.
The White House faces growing criticism from Arab Americans over the administration's continued support for Israel in the face of rising casualties in Gaza since Hamas launched its Oct 7 attack on Israel.
'The key elements of the deal are on the table,' Biden said alongside the king, though 'there are gaps that remain.'
He said the U.S. would do 'everything possible' to make an agreement happen: a pause to fighting for at least six weeks and the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
A senior U.S. administration official said Sunday that after weeks of shuttle diplomacy and phone conversations, a framework was essentially in place for a deal. The official said Israeli military pressure on Hamas in Khan Younis over the last several weeks has helped bring the militant group closer to accepting an agreement.
Abdullah said Biden's leadership was 'key to addressing this conflict,' as he raised the plight of the tens of thousands of civilians killed and wounded in the fighting.
'We need a lasting cease-fire now,' the king said. 'This war must end.'
Jordan and other Arab states have been highly critical of Israel's actions and have eschewed public support for long-term planning over what happens next, arguing that the fighting must end before such discussions can begin.
They have been demanding a cease-fire since mid-October as civilian casualties began to skyrocket.
Biden's stance marks a subtle but notable break for the president, who has continued to oppose a permanent cease-fire. His administration has insisted that Hamas not retain political or military control over Gaza after the war — a key objective of the Israeli operation to prevent a repeat of the Oct. 7 attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and saw about 250 taken hostage.

Female shooter at Osteen mega-church ID'd as cops reveal 'Free Palestine' was written on rifle
The woman who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Houston-area mega-church on Sunday has been nam
By Social Links for Isabel Keane Published Feb. 12, 2024, 1:04 p.m. ET
The woman who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Houston-area mega-church on Sunday has been named as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, according to the Houston Chronicle, as authorities revealed she had ‘Free Palestine’ written on her weapon.
Moreno entered Osteen’s Lakewood Church just before 2 p.m. with a boy, believed to be about 4 or 5 years old, and opened fire into the church.
Two off-duty officers working security at the church — a Houston cop and an agent with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission — returned fire and fatally shot the woman, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said Sunday.
The boy was also shot and has been hospitalized in critical condition. It’s unclear who shot the boy and what his relationship was with Moreno.
One 57-year-old civilian bystander was also shot in the leg, according to ABC News.
While law enforcement told ABC about Moreno’s gun’s being daubed with “Free Palestine,” a motive in the shooting remains unclear, and police are still investigating.

Biden Targeting Military Veterans, Older Americans, Rural Communities And Those That Hold The Bible And Constitution Sacred, With Federally Funded AI Censorship Tool
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline February 11, 2024
When the Biden's regimes "Ministry of Truth" was scrapped after public backlash, it is doubtful that anyone with a brain thought they were done trying to control what information the American public is allowed to see and discuss online.
Those with a working brain were right, the Biden regime not only didn't stop trying, they simply decided to do it differently by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to target information that is not the "official narrative" from being discussed on social media or other platforms where Americans discuss issues.
This and much more was revealed in a House Judiciary Committee report (79 page PDF) issued last Tuesday. The report should be a real eye-opener as to the lengths Democrats will go to make sure they can control what you see online, therefore controlling what you think.
Independent Media asks the questions, and provides the information that the MSM, on behalf of the Biden regime, won't. Collectively we highlight reports like this one, that the MSM won't cover, so the powers that be aka The Blob, are funding R&D (Research and Development) in AI that will prevent Americans from finding news that counters the official narrative.
There are more targets than what is mentioned in the headline because to name them all would have a headline that reads like a book, so here are the targets mentioned.
From page 22, under the category titled "4. MIT: Search Lit"
• In September 2021, through its Track F program, NSF awarded $750,000 to a group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop “effective interventions” to educate Americans—specifically, those that the MIT researchers alleged “may be more vulnerable to misinformation campaigns”—on how to discern fact from fiction online.88 In particular, the MIT team believed that conservatives, minorities, and veterans were uniquely incapable of assessing the veracity of content online.
Page 26 offers more targeted individuals, under the category: B. NSF-Funded Researchers Believe the American Public is Not Smart Enough to Discern Fact from Fiction, Especially Conservatives, Minorities, and Veterans
• Littered throughout these researchers’ federally funded projects is the paternalistic assumption that particular groups of American citizens are uniquely unable to differentiate between truth and falsehood online. As the MIT-led researchers explained in a summary of their project proposal to NSF, “broad swaths of the public cannot effectively sort truth from fiction online.”101 In particular, the Search Lit team singled out the following demographics:
* rural and indigenous communities;
* military veterans, older adults, and military families;
* older adults.
Also in the report on page 26 - 27, the authors highlights other groups targeted, specifically those that hold the Bible and Constitution as sacred.
In support of their case for NSF funding, the MIT-led researchers cited a study “of two conservative groups” performed by a Search Lit team member, Francesca Tripodi, examining the “online search practices” of Americans who hold “the Bible or the Constitution” as “sacred” and “distrust journalists and academics. ”The summary also derisively noted that the approach that “everyday people” typically use to get their news and information allows them “to act as subject matter experts,” rather than “truth [being] only curated at the top.”
So if you are one of the people that looks into news reports to verify the MSM, because you "distrust" today's MSM journalists, you are one of the people they are trying to prevent having the ability to do so.
The report shows that they plan to target children of the military in the hopes of those children being able to "share" the same propaganda with their families.
As part of their efforts to target military families, NSF proposed working “with educators in the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) group, the organization that runs [Defense Department] schools on military bases, to adapt our innovations to both directly serve children in military families and then have students share their new learning with their families.” Put plainly, Search Lit sought to help train the children of military families to help influence the beliefs of military families. When Search Lit “discussed these ideas with DoDEA stakeholders, they immediately brought up concerns about military personnel involvement in the January 6 assault on the Capitol and the subsequent anti-extremism training that is a military priority.”
So to recap, we see the following targeted individuals:
• Rural and indigenous communities
• Military veterans,
• Older adults
• Children of military families
• Those that hold the Bible as sacred
• Those that hold the constitution sacred.
• Those that distrust journalist and academics.
On page 26 the authors of the report give a quick summary of the information in the pages above:
To summarize, the researchers’ concern is that there are Americans who deem the Constitution and the Bible “sacred,” and therefore dare to conduct their own research of “primary sources” rather than trust the “professional consensus.”
Bucking the "professional consensus" is why Google and others stripped the type of advertising that actually brought in enough money to survive without the pop-outs, and with far few ads on the page. Those were the days we didn't have the 'please donate' pitches because advertising was enough to survive. Those were days Stefan and I didn't stress each and every month as to whether we could pay our bills.
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
COERCING COMPLIANCE.....
As to who is being funded to do the R&D for the AI censorship, New York Post highlights the following:
The money’s going to tech-development heavy hitters like MIT, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Michigan under a program ominously named “Trust & Authenticity in Communication Systems,” part of the even more ominously named “Convergence Accelerator Program.”
These entities are also being given the power to "coerce" social media platforms with threats of negative MSM reporting.
Page 28 of the repots states the following:
Once empowered with taxpayer dollars, the pseudo-science researchers wield the resources and prestige bestowed upon them by the federal government against any entities that resist their censorship projects. In some instances, if a social media company fails to act fast enough to change a policy or remove what the researchers perceive to be misinformation on its platform, disinformation researchers will issue blogposts or formal papers to “generate a communications moment” (i.e., negative press coverage) for the platform, seeking to coerce it into compliance with their demands.
And example of an actual threat sent to Twitter via email it seems, when they refused to comply with a request to censor from the University of Wisconsin.
That email was dated July 12, 2023, after Elon Musk took over Twitter, when he started refusing to obey the commands of the federally funded censorship proxies.
For those having trouble reading it, it states, "Your response is unacceptable. As a result, we'll being pivoting our API- and ad-based research away from your platform. In the meantime, we'll publicize our terrible treatment with thousands of researchers to discourage their use of your products."
After the graphic above in the report, it states:
Examples like these illustrate the tremendous sway these so-called “disinformation” researchers hold over social media platforms and why the federal government often turns to these unaccountable academics when seeking a proxy for their censorship activities.
The report from the House Judiciary Committee then stars delving into the Biden regime's attempts to cover-up their funding of AI censorship (Page 29), with CISA scrubbing of information on their website.
On page 33, we see the heading "NSF Considered Blacklisting Conservative Media Outlets."
Page 34 "C. NSF Attempted to Hide Additional Funding to Its Track F Censorship Program "
Page 39 "E. NSF Is Attempting to Stonewall Congressional Investigations"
The entire report is a must read. The sheer amount of information the House Judiciary Committee was able to obtain despite attempts to stonewall on the part of those wanting and planning to use AI to control what veterans, those of faith, those that believe in the constitution, children, those who live in rural and indigenous communities, those who distrust the media and academic claims, see and are able to discuss and share.
BOTTOM LINE
The censors programming the AI are targeting anybody that reads Independent Media or anybody that they don't agree with.
The problem with this entire AI censorship tools is that those that claim to be the academic experts, have been proven over the past 4 years to have been wrong.
We were told masking in public was mandatory because it would help stop the spread of Covid, yet the most comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published late January 2023, and found that "“There is just no evidence that they” — masks — “make any difference, and that includes the N-95 masks. The NYT was forced to publish this, but only in an opinion piece, rather than in their news section.
So, those of us that questioned the official narrative, and were demonetized for refusing to change our article statements, were right, and it has been proven that the media, and the academics were the ones pushing misinformation.
Same goes for the climate hysteria, the Hunter Biden 'laptop from hell' (Book), social distancing, the dangers of experimental vaccines, the Russian collusion hoax, and much more.
They pushed the preferred narrative, penalized and demonetized anyone that highlighted their misinformation as wrong, and years later they are forced to admit they were wrong.
It is more important than ever when using your search engine to bypass the front page of results, which is usually the "official" narrative on any given subject, in order to get to the truth, in many cases.
The first video below starts at the 23.29 minute mark, but after initial statements from both sides, at the 40 minute mark they finally get to the witnesses regarding government censorship.

Chaos Reigns In The Streets Of America As An Epic Crime Wave Terrorizes The Nation
February 11, 2024 by Michael
If you were hoping that the United States would become a lawless society, you have now gotten your wish. Some of the numbers that I am about to share with you are just mind blowing. For example, I had no idea that police in New York City were injured by criminals thousands of times last year. All over the nation, law enforcement is losing control and violent criminals are getting the upper hand. We have never seen anything quite like this before, and I am entirely convinced that this crime wave is only going to get worse as economic conditions deteriorate. Even in our capital city, crime is completely and utterly out of control. If you can believe it, the number of carjackings in Washington D.C. was up 97.9 percent last year…
Residents of the District of Columbia paid the sixth-highest amount on car insurance when compared to the 50 states in 2023 with an average annual full-coverage rate of $2,756 last year – which amounts to nearly $230 a month, according to a report by Insurify. The report found that Washington, D.C., residents’ car insurance premiums were 37% higher than the national average, which was $2,019 for a full-coverage policy, as national auto insurance rates increased by 24% last year.
Police data show carjackings in the nation’s capital spiked by 97.9% in 2023 with 958 reported carjackings last year compared to 484 in 2022, with motor vehicle theft up 82% from 3,756 in 2022 to 6,829 in 2023. Vehicle theft in the greater Washington-Maryland-Virginia area also rose by 68% last year, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Vehicle theft is even worse in some areas along the west coast.
In Oakland, approximately one out of every 30 residents had a vehicle stolen from them in 2023…
Robberies grew 38% last year in Oakland, according to police data. Burglaries increased 23%. Motor vehicle theft jumped 44%. Roughly one of every 30 Oakland residents had a car stolen last year, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis.
On Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he was taking action, deploying 120 California Highway Patrol officers to Oakland and the surrounding area to conduct a law enforcement surge operation. The aim: to crack down on crime, including vehicle theft, retail theft and violent crime.
Gavin Newsom wants to run for president at some point, and so he doesn’t want to look soft on crime. Unfortunately for him, it is way too late for that.
Other west coast cities are also experiencing unprecedented crime waves.
In Seattle, one restaurant has actually been broken into five times in the last six months…
The sound of crashing glass has become too familiar at Sandia, a Mexican restaurant in Seattle’s Laurelhurst neighborhood on NE 45th Street.
“As of today, now we have been broken into five times,” said Nathan Yeager, the owner.
In the surveillance video provided to KING 5, you can see criminals break the front door with a crowbar, climb over the counter, steal money from the till, and then sneak around while looking in every door for something to take.
There is no way that I would open a small business in Seattle.
Or Portland.
Or Oakland.
Or San Francisco.
Or Los Angeles.
Of course I could say the exact same thing about many cities on the east coast as well.
In New York City, police officers “are getting beaten at a record-setting pace”…
City cops are getting beaten at a record-setting pace — a disturbing and dangerous trend fueled by radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors, experts told The Post.
The number of cops hurt by suspects surged 20% in 2022, when 4,724 uniformed officers suffered injuries in attacks, compared to 3,933 in 2021.
But the law enforcement nightmare grew worse last year, when 4,077 cops were hurt by suspects in just the first nine months of 2023 — on pace for a record-breaking 5,436 injuries, the latest NYPD stats show.
At this stage in our societal collapse, the criminals are not even afraid to attack the cops.
It is so difficult to be a police officer these days. They literally put their lives on the line for us every single day.
Of course the Biden administration has made the national crime wave significantly worse by allowing millions upon millions of migrants to come pouring over the southern border.
In fact, we just learned that police in the Big Apple have arrested a “very, very violent” migrant that shot a tourist in the leg “after opening fire in Times Square”…
A teenager gunman burst into tears as he was hauled away in handcuffs for allegedly shooting a tourist in the leg after opening fire in Times Square.
Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, 15, a migrant from Venezuela, was arrested by US Marshals in Yonkers after a nearly day-long manhunt.
NYPD Deputy Chief of Detectives Jason Savino called him a ‘very, very violent’ suspect who recklessly fired a ‘very large’ .45 caliber handgun in a crowded area of New York City.
Needless to say, our wide open borders have also made it easy for cartels to transport drugs all over the country.
Earlier today, I came across an article that explained that drugs that are produced in Mexico have been flooding the state of Montana…
Illegal drugs have long flowed from Mexico to the more remote parts of the U.S. But with the rise of fentanyl, cartel associates have pushed more aggressively into Montana, where pills can be sold for 20 times the price they get in urban centers closer to the border, state and federal law enforcement officials said.
Cartels have been particularly focusing on Indian reservations throughout Montana, and one state lawmaker says that it seems like “fentanyl is raining on our reservation”…
On some reservations, cartel associates have formed relationships with Indigenous women as a way of establishing themselves within communities to sell drugs, law enforcement officials and tribal leaders said. More frequently, traffickers lure Native Americans into becoming dealers by giving away an initial supply of drugs and turning them into addicts indebted to the cartels.
“Right now it’s as if fentanyl is raining on our reservation,” said Marvin Weatherwax, Jr., who serves on the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council and represents the 15th district in the Montana House of Representatives.
There is nowhere that you can go in the U.S. to completely escape all of this.
From coast to coast, our society is literally coming apart at the seams.
In Alabama, thieves recently stole an entire 200-foot tall radio tower…
A landscaper in Jasper, Alabama, was doing a property cleanup when the crew discovered that a 200-foot radio tower was missing.
Brett Elmore, general manager of WJLX, said that every piece of equipment at the radio tower’s site had been stolen and the wires cut out.
“This is going to get out eventually, so I might as well make it public before it does,” Elmore wrote on Facebook. “I have heard of thieves in this area stealing anything, but this one takes the cake. This morning, my bush hog crew went down to a tower site we have … when [they] arrived, he called and notified me that not only was my building vandalized, but my TWO HUNDRED FOOT TOWER WAS GONE!” the radio manager wrote.
If things are this bad now, what will our society look like once millions upon millions of people in this country become extremely desperate?
You might want to think about that, because we really are right on the brink of an extremely apocalyptic chapter in human history.
But most people don’t want to think about such things.
Most people just want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that everything is okay.
It can be so easy to ignore what is really going on in the world and tune in to the alternate reality that television creates for us.
Did you know that a 30 second commercial during this year’s Super Bowl cost 7 million dollars?
After sitting in front of the television for a few hours, you may be tempted to buy into the fictional reality that they are trying to sell you.
But the truth is that life in America is not good right now, and the crime in our streets is only going to intensify during the months and years ahead.

Central NY could break a 99-year-old warm temperature record today
Updated: Feb. 09, 2024, 7:53 a.m.|Published: Feb. 09, 2024, 5:45 a.m.
By Glenn Coin | gcoin@syracuse.com
Syracuse, N.Y. -- Temperatures today could soar to almost 60 degrees in Syracuse, possibly beating a record that has stood for 99 years.
The high temperature this afternoon in Syracuse is expected to be 59 degrees, the National Weather Service predicts. That would tie the Feb. 9 record of 59, set in 1925.
It’s very possible that the final temperature could surge even higher and set a new record. That depends on how much sun the clouds allow through today. There’s a chance of a few sprinkles, but skies should be mostly sunny.
Saturday will be a few degrees cooler than today, but still potentially record-setting because the Feb. 10 record is lower than today’s. The forecast calls for a high of 55 on Saturday; the record is 56, set in 2001.
Thursday’s high was also in the 50s, but not record-breaking.
The late-week warmth continues the trend of this winter, which so far is the third-warmest on record in Syracuse. The last time the winter started this warm was 1933 -- more than 90 years ago.
The abnormal warmth is due largely to a particularly strong El Nino, the warming of the waters in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America. An El Nino can alter global weather patterns and generally brings warm conditions to the northern tier of the United States.
The warm winter has also meant very little snow. So far, Syracuse has had just about 28 inches; the average by now is 83 inches.
A colder trend kicks in on Sunday, when the high will be about 40 degrees. By Monday night and Tuesday, there’s a chance for a few inches of snow. Temperatures aren’t expected to be higher than the mid 30s through at least mid-week.

Outrage as Biden administration admits surveilling Americans' private financial transactions for words like 'MAGA' 'Trump' and 'Kamala' in wake of Jan. 6 riots...with people buying BIBLES on top of their watchlist
Federal investigators in Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) instructed banks to comb through records to look for 'extremists'
A letter from Treasury Department was sent to Senator Tim Scott on Friday which states 'Exchange events' began 'shortly after January 6'
The government was 'watching' Trump supporters and Americans who went to Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods and also those who purchased religious texts
By Kamal Sultan For Dailymail.Com

The Biden Administration has admitted to surveilling the private financial transactions of Americans for words including 'MAGA', 'Trump' and 'Kamala' following the January 6 riots.
Federal investigators in the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) instructed banks to comb through records to look for 'extremists'.
A letter from the Treasury Department, seen by Fox News, was sent to Senator Tim Scott on Friday which states 'Exchange events' began 'shortly after January 6 under the prior Administration'.
It said it 'included terms such as "antifa," "MAGA," "Trump," "Biden," "Kamala," "Schumer," and "Pelosi."'
The federal government was specifically 'watching' Trump supporters and Americans who frequent outdoor stores such as Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops, and also those who purchased religious texts, such as a Bible.
The Treasury Department letter signifies the first time the Biden Administration has confirmed the use of keywords being searched for by investigators over the January 6 riot.
It was signed by Acting Assistant Secretary Corey Tellez and was in response to a letter sent by Scott, who is on the Senate Banking Committee, to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen demanding answers.
Scott claimed the surveillance 'represents a flagrant violation of Americans’ privacy and the improper targeting of U.S. citizens for exercising their constitutional rights without due process.'
The Republican politician had previously voted for the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, which allowed the FinCEN Exchange program to share data between law enforcement and financial institutions in a bid to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.
FinCEN handed materials to banks which suggested they search and filter private finance records using keywords and search terms.
This was to help law enforcement find people of interest ahead of Biden's January 20 2021 inauguration and after the January 6 riots.
The searches were found during a House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government investigation.
They discovered documents which showed FinCEN warned financial institutions that an 'extremism indicator' could be 'the purchase of books (including religious texts)," like the Bible, and subscriptions to certain media "containing extremist views'.
According to the report released by Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in January, the terms 'MAGA' and 'Trump' were also suggested by the department to be searched in Zelle payments.
'Did you shop at Bass Pro Shop yesterday or purchase a Bible? If so, the federal government may be watching you,' Jordan posted on X at the time.
'We now know the federal government flagged terms like 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP,' to financial institutions if Americans completed transactions using those terms,' he wrote in another post.
'What was also flagged? If you bought a religious text, like a BIBLE, or shopped at Bass Pro Shop.'
Further, officials warned banks of 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a bus or plane ticket 'for travel to areas with no apparent purpose' or the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, according to documents.
Subscriptions to news outlets containing 'extremist' views would also be an indicator for financial instructions to look at, according to the material the Treasury provided to banks.
The report sparked a flurry of backlash at the Biden administration from Republicans demanding answers about the government's spy tactics.
Additionally, during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Thursday, Republican Senator Scott chided the Treasury secretary over the department's surveillance instructions.
'FinCEN was created to stop money laundering and not to spy on Americans,' he said. 'It was not created for political motivations.'

BRICS: US Allies Are Downsizing The Dollar in Central Banks
Vinod Dsouza February 9, 2024
BRICS and a handful of developing countries are reducing the US dollar intake in their respective Central Banks’ reserves. The US prints trillions of USD currency and disburses them around the world importing its inflation to other countries. Developing nations and BRICS countries bear the risk of debt and fund the US deficit by keeping the dollar in their reserves. If other nations stop hoarding the dollar, the currency will return to America leading to a deficit in the homeland.

While BRICS is limiting the dollar intake in their reserves, even US allies are now slowly following in their footsteps. The main concern to US allies is the mounting $34 trillion debt crisis that’s spiraling out of control. The $34 trillion debt will only hurt other countries who keep the US dollar in their Central Banks. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade.
BRICS: US Allies Worried About Mounting Dollar Debt
After BRICS, US ally France is the first country to voice its concern about the dollar’s uncontrolled debt. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with a sharp tongue criticizing the US dollar’s role in controlling other countries. Macron even urged in a speech calling Europe and other US allies to limit the usage of the dollar. He warned that increasing the dollar in Central Banks could push the European economy head south.

European countries have started taking note of France’s warning and evaluating the US dollar’s prospects for trade. A debt crisis will only hurt the EU’s economy and the dollar will be responsible for the debacle.
BRICS, developing countries, and US allies have already begun decreasing the dollar for payment settlements. The US dollar is now used less than 60% of global trade while other currencies are slowly yet steadily rising. The chart below shows that the US dollar is now used for only 58% of global transactions.

Crisis of faith, life demands outspoken shepherds, not ‘mute dogs,’ French bishop says
Praising the U.S. bishops for raising their voices in defense of life, Bishop Marc Aillet said that 'perhaps they can encourage us French bishops to bark a little louder.'
Fri Feb 9, 2024 - 9:28 pm EST
BAYONNE, France (LifeSiteNews) – A French bishop known for his orthodoxy praised bishops in America as examples of outspokenness in the face of a deep crisis of faith within the Church, a crisis he said calls to mind the great apostasy that will be seen in the age of the Antichrist.
In a recent interview with the National Catholic Register, Bishop Marc Aillet of the Diocese of Bayonne, Oloron and Lescar in southwest France said that today “truth itself is under threat, and with it the whole of humanity.”
Insisting on the need for bishops to speak out as true shepherds of souls and lamenting the silence of so many French bishops on matters of faith, Aillet praised bishops in the U.S. for raising their voice in defense of such things as the sanctity of life and for their presence at the national March for Life each year in Washington, D.C.
“When I went to the U.S., I found that parishes had services specifically dedicated to the dignity of life, and at every March for Life, a substantial number of bishops participate, which is not the case in France or elsewhere.”
“It’s fair to say that many of their bishops are not ‘mute dogs,’” Aillet said. Expressing his hope that bishops in France may follow their example, he continued, “perhaps they can encourage us French bishops to bark a little louder.”
In an effort to address the crisis of truth the world is facing, Aillet published the book Le temps des saints (The Time of Saints) last fall in which he argued that within the ecclesiastical hierarchy unity must be “based on the Creed, which suffers no divergence, though in dialogue with the world it is not always possible to wait for consensus before speaking out.”
Leading by example, Aillet has not shied away from raising his voice to clarify authentic Catholic practice and doctrine. After the Vatican’s issuance of Fiducia Supplicans, in a diocesan instruction given December 29, Aillet forbade his priests from blessing homosexual and irregular “couples.” He instead directed that a blessing be only given to each person individually in such circumstances, saying, “if people ask for it,” priests are “to give them a blessing, provided that it is to each person individually, calling them to conversion and inviting them to ask for the help of the grace that the Lord grants to all those who ask him to conform their lives to the God’s will.”
The French bishop told the Register that the sexual abuse crisis with which the Church is still dealing was an indication of more profound loss of faith throughout the once Christian West. “The sexual abuse crisis was, in a way, the tip of the iceberg of a crisis of the Church and, more profoundly, of a recession of faith, which Ratzinger had prophetically analyzed as early as 1969,” Aillet said.
Noting the combined crisis of mass apostasy from the Christian faith in the West and the rise of severe persecution against Christians throughout the world, the bishop emphasized that a proper assessment of our present day was called for.
Observing “the Church’s distancing itself from its mission of calling men to conversion,” along with an “obsession with structural reforms,” “risks of schisms, divisions within the Church,” and the threat that technological advances pose regarding the “control they could exert over freedom and consciences,” Aillet said such things call to mind what the Church teaches about the coming of the Antichrist.

5.7 magnitude earthquake hits Hawaii - residents describe 'huge' tremors and shaking buildings
Residents in Oahu - around 200 miles from the epicenter - reported huge tremors and shaking buildings
By Will Potter For Dailymail.Com

A 5.7 magnitude earthquake has struck south of Hawaii's Big Island, rocking buildings and triggering huge tremors across the state, officials say.
The earthquake hit at an ocean depth of over 22 miles around 1.5 miles of the Kau Coast, although the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) said a tsunami is not expected.
Residents on the island of Oahu - over 200 miles from the epicenter - reported severe shaking and some damage, however it is unclear if the earthquake has resulted in any deaths or injuries.
The PTWC catalogued the intensity of the natural disaster as VI - meaning it is significant, but is not expected to cause catastrophic damage.
Officials initially recorded the earthquake at 6.3 magnitude, but later downgraded it to a 5.7, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said on X.
Around an hour after the quake hit Hawaii, another 4.7 magnitude earthquake was also registered near Los Angeles, California, according to Earthquaketrack.com.
Following the initial earthquake, six small aftershock quakes were reported in the Pahala area.
The extent of the damage in Hawaii remains unknown, however journalist Nick Sortor reported that locals called it the 'longest, strongest earthquake they've felt in a long time.'
Plate tectonics researcher Dr Judith Hubbard said on X that the natural disaster occurred in an area that had been 'experiencing a swarm of seismicity.'
Although the 5.7 magnitude is significant, nearing others such as one in China in 2014 that killed 600 people, Hubbard said the earthquake 'fortunately (struck) a low-density area.'
Stunning footage captured the moment the earthquake violently shook a home in Hawaii, leading a man and boy to frantically race to escape.
Witnesses said the powerful quake sent shockwaves across the state.
'I was sitting in my truck and I thought there was something wrong with my truck,' Hawaii Island community leader Ikaika Marzo told KTRE.
'A bunch of people felt it around me.'
Big Island Mayor Mitch Roth said he was in the middle of a cardiologist appointment when the earthquake struck.
'All of a sudden I felt like I was getting dizzy,' he said, quipping he initially thought he was feeling the effects of a procedure.
'We'll probably start hearing about damage in the next hour to an hour,' he said shortly after the earthquake hit at 10am local time.
International Marketplace employee Alia Zannoni said she saw computer screens and pictures shaking.
'We didn’t know what to do so we sat in our doorways,' she said. 'My family on Kauai said they felt it, too.'

Malibu earthquake rattles Southern California
By Rong-Gong Lin II, Grace Toohey, Matt Hamilton, Ashley Ahn, Connor Sheets
Published Feb. 9, 2024 Updated Feb. 10, 2024 4:34 PM PT
A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck near Malibu on Friday and was felt across a wide swath of Southern California.
The temblor was reported at 1:47 p.m., with an epicenter about two and a half miles northeast of Leo Carrillo State Beach and about three miles northwest of El Matador State Beach. It was followed by several aftershocks. Earlier estimates listed a magnitude of 4.7 and 4.5.
There were no immediate reports of major damage. One caller in Malibu told KNX-AM there was shaking strong enough to toss items off a counter and cause a wall to crack.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said on X that the Fire Department was conducting routine surveys of the city to assess for damage, and that city teams will continue to monitor.
Dakota Rose Koep was driving when the earthquake struck. She said she didn’t feel it at the time, but when she arrived at her Simi Valley home a short time later, her grandfather said “it was super weird because he could feel it, but the chain on the door wasn’t moving like it usually would.” He described it as “a very stereotypical rolling sensation, kind of shaky,” she said.
Meanwhile, Koep’s dog, a Great Dane-greyhound-lab mix named Nasa, “was freaked out.” But nothing seemed to have been damaged or fallen off the walls or shelves, the 25-year-old actor and writer said.
“Some of the photos on the wall in our house were kind of slanted, but nothing really shifted here,” she said.
The earthquake produced light to weak shaking across wide swaths of Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange counties. For most people, the shaking level was just powerful enough to rattle dishes and windows, according to the U.S. Geological Survey; for others, it might have swung hanging objects.
In a Van Nuys courtroom, the floor began to roll as defense attorney Tony Buzbee questioned a witness in the murder trial of Rebecca Grossman. The swaying left Buzbee speechless. The lawyer, a Texan who served in the U.S. Marines in California, told the court he was an “earthquake virgin.”
Some residents said they received a few seconds of warning from the USGS earthquake early warning system. One person in Brentwood got a warning a second or two from the MyShake app on an iPhone before feeling actual shaking; another person in Koreatown got three or four seconds of warning on his Android cellphone before he felt rolling.
The temblor in Malibu prompted customers at Colony House Liquor and other nearby businesses along Pacific Coast Highway to run outside into the parking lot, said Max Alperstein, manager of the liquor store.
“That one gave a nice shake, going back and forth,” Alperstein said Friday. “It was quite a bit of shaking. Inside, none of the bottles fell over or anything like that. Nothing broke, thankfully.”
Alperstein said he has felt other quakes while working at the store, located down the street from Nobu. “Nothing quite as strong as that one.”
“It wasn’t a rolling, more of a good shaking, back and forth, left to right — a swaying,” he said.
Malibu Mayor Steve Uhring told Spectrum News he was home when the quake hit and felt only a brief shaking. He said it was a reminder for Southern Californians, who have seen more than their share of natural disasters, to be prepared.
“We’ve had wildfires, earthquakes and floods,” Uhring said. “I’m just waiting for the locusts to show up.”
California
Friday is the 53rd anniversary of the magnitude 6.6 earthquake that struck Sylmar in 1971.
There have been four earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and greater in Southern California this year.
The first came on New Year’s Day when a magnitude 4.1 struck off the coast about 10 miles southwest of San Pedro and 11 miles southeast of Rancho Palos Verdes.
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake on Jan. 5 struck a mile northwest of the community of Lytle Creek in the San Gabriel Mountains of San Bernardino County. Then, on Jan. 24, a magnitude 4.2 earthquake hit in San Bernardino.
Jordan Lyubenov, 34, was at home in Playa Vista when the quake hit. He and his wife had just returned from Colorado.
“We were joking earlier that we would take sunshine and earthquakes every day” over harsh winters elsewhere, he said.
Friday’s quake was “the strongest one in like a year,” said Lyubenov, who works as a day trader and Realtor. He said he would have considered leaving his top-floor apartment if the shaking had gotten any more severe.
At Malibu Village Books, a bookstore near Malibu Lagoon State Beach, customers and staff hesitated as the floor shook.
“We definitely did feel it here,” said Emma Carroll, a bookseller at the shop. “But we are all OK.”
She said a few loose books fell off the shelves, but “nothing too bad.”
Julie Ellerton lives in a rental apartment on the beach in Malibu. She was lying on an outside deck when the quake hit. The photojournalist, who worked for the Malibu Times until six months ago, said that as an L.A. native, she’s not afraid of earthquakes — but this one was particularly jarring.
“I felt it bigger than I’ve felt an earthquake in a long time,” she said. “I could feel it in my chest because I was sitting on the ground — basically on the deck — and it was like this all-encompassing rumble, like you’re on a wooden roller-coaster.”
Nearby foliage shook, she said, and she immediately knew it was more than an ocean wave crashing on the shore.
“My equilibrium was off because everything was moving as if I was on a boat,” she said.
The earthquake was about two miles north of a section of the Malibu Coast fault zone, which runs along Pacific Coast Highway through a significant stretch of Malibu.
It was not related to a magnitude 5.7 quake that hit the southern edge of Hawaii’s Big Island a couple of hours earlier Friday.
But the quake was enough to temporarily close rides at Disneyland, park guests told The Times.
Nick Bergwitz of San Diego was walking around Mickey’s Toontown with his wife, mother-in-law and 2-year-old son when the ground started moving. He didn’t feel any shaking, but he heard announcements that there had been an earthquake.
The streets and sidewalks that wind through the park quickly filled after employees began temporarily closing rides so they could be inspected, Bergwitz said. He said most guests appeared unfazed by the experience.
“More people are just going to be watching the parade,” he said.
Disney officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Magnitude 5.7 earthquake hits Hawaii’s Big Island; felt as far away as Honolulu
Feb. 9, 2024
At Duke’s Malibu, a seafood restaurant on the coast, Sophia Bartkus said staff and customers heard a loud noise — they still aren’t sure what — and then some short-lived shaking.
“We definitely felt it, but as far as damages go, so far, everything’s fine,” the 24-year-old said. “It was really only a few seconds.”
She said most of the other staff were not fazed by the quake, but as a Wisconsin native new to California, it was an experience.
“I didn’t know what was going on,” Bartkus said, adding that she was a little scared. But now, “things are back to normal.” The experience left her feeling a bit more like a true Golden State resident: “It’s like a California milestone for me,” she said, laughing.
A small tremor that was barely perceptible rumbled around 1:45 p.m. at In the Cut, a Black barbershop in Inglewood where Church Deon, 46, and two other barbers were cutting hair.
“It was like a slight rocking on a little rowboat,” he said. “So slight we was like, ‘Wait, was that an earthquake?’ ”
In Deon’s 13 years at the barbershop, he’s experienced “plenty of quakes,” he said, most of which have been the same small tremors.
“Unless the chandeliers were shaking and things were moving, we would get concerned,” he said. “But we went right back to work after a couple seconds.”
Times staff writers Julia Turner, Richard Winton, Hannah Fry, Carlos Lozano and Joseph Serna contributed to this report.

The Ongoing Inward Struggle Of The Jewish People – Physical And Spiritual
By Dean Dwyer February 9, 2024
To the unbelieving world, blindness is only apparent in its physical form. But to us who believe, we know there are two types of blindness – physical and spiritual.
In Aramaic, the term often used for a blind person is actually compromised of two words by way of a rhetorical device known as antiphrasis. This means that one says the exact opposite of what they mean. The Aramaic term is sagi (“much”) nahor (“light”). So, you are able to see that the term refers, somewhat paradoxically, to the unseeing. Talmudic scholars say it refers to someone who is both blind and wise – a person who can supposedly see great spiritual truth even though they are blind. But does this line up with Scripture?
Though we rejoice that many individual Jews have expressed a saving faith in Yeshua, national Israel is currently in a period of blindness. Romans 11:25 explains: “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
Of course, this passage is not referring to physical blindness. The Greek word used here refers to a hardness of heart which causes perception to be blunted. The same word is used in Ephesians 4:17-18: “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.”
Although technology and medical knowledge sometimes makes it possible to aid those with physical blindness, the issue of spiritual blindness is another matter altogether. Many have tried to reverse their spiritual blindness through their own wisdom and enquiry. In the process, many false religions have been propagated, with New Age standing apart from the crowd as one which specifically aims to “bring love and light”. But, although the Scriptures speak very clearly against false religion, in many ways the Lord reserved His harshest criticism for Israel – the nation which was the direct recipient of His revelation. The consequences are serious – not only for the individual but also for their nation. In Isaiah 56:10 we read: “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.”
Additionally, as Jesus said of the scribes and Pharisees in Matthew 15:14: “They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” The solution to this blindness, as Jesus recounted to Nicodemus, is to be born again (John 3:3).
Leaving aside the spiritual blindness of national Israel momentarily, it is obvious that the spiritual blindness of Western leaders is becoming a serious problem in this age, particularly when it comes to knowing how to deal with evil. Sadly, this is most evident in the pressure being brought upon Israel to cease its war against Hamas in Gaza and not start a war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel’s leaders did not start this war. The nations may be calling for peace but let’s not forget there was peace on 6 October 2023. Hamas broke the peace and they must be destroyed because of the unspeakable evil they perpetrated against the Jewish people. That is the only way to deal with this level of evil. Yet, the USA in particular seems intent on promoting the interests of Iran, believing that the Iranians are able to bring stability to the Middle East. For anybody who believes that, then they are clearly ignorant when it comes to the beliefs of the “Twelvers” of Shiite ideology.
But once again, outside forces are bringing to light the ongoing inward struggle of the Jewish people – physical and spiritual. During the years of the “Final Solution” (1942 to 1945), for those who survived the gas chambers, the isolation of camps and ghettos was intended to bring about social separation which would aid in the control and monitoring of Jews. It was under these horrific circumstances that some Jews, as stated in the written works Years Wherein We Have Seen Evil, “found within themselves the inner strength to examine their situation and to try and find meaning in the events that controlled their very existence.”
In the very circumstances which were intended to break them, many Jews struggled for humanity, for culture, for normalcy and for life. It was from this struggle that the principle of “spiritual resistance” was born. In fact, for those who clung to this principle, their entire camp and ghetto life became one of resistance. That is why the State of Israel is such an affront to the world. It is a nation whose determined goal is to resist those who call for its destruction. For the most part this is in the form of armed resistance through repelling attacks launched against it and rooting out terrorism within it. However, we also see a growing movement within Israel where spiritual resistance is also becoming prominent. This has been seen predominantly amongst soldiers and in the Yeshivas (an institution devoted to studying the Torah and rabbinic traditions) where they sing “I believe in the coming of the Messiah”.
In the Parashat Bo, which is the 15th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading, a sobering thought is revealed: darkness is the incubator of hope. In fact, many Jewish scholars argue that we need the darkness no less than the daylight and it is in the darkness of the Exodus that they celebrate the light of redemption and their release from bondage: “…the LORD God brought you out of Egypt by night” (Deuteronomy 16:1). Since darkness is celebrated as the incubator of hope, how fitting that Nicodemus would meet Jesus “by night” (John 3)!
As the days grow darker, the time of Israel’s spiritual renewal is growing closer. A remnant will be preserved and the long-awaited kingdom will be established as the Prince of Peace returns to Jerusalem to rule and reign. Charles E Jefferson was quoted as saying: “A small man can see when it is growing dark…but he cannot see beyond the darkness. He does not know how to put a sunbeam into his picture. A great man pierces the darkness and sees the glory of a hidden dawn.”
Friends, there is a new dawn coming and even though it is growing dark, as that great hymn reminds us: “For the darkness shall turn to dawning and the dawning to noonday bright; and Christ’s great kingdom shall come to earth; the kingdom of love and light.”

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The prime minister of formerly “Great Britain,” an Indian named Sunak, Scholz and Macron, the non-entities who head Washington’s puppet states of Germany and France, and the non-entities in Norway, Finland, Poland and the rest of the militarily and economically impotent puppet governments that comprise the American Empire, declare their preparation for war with Russia.
What a joke! None of these territories–they are so over-run by third world immigrant-invaders that they no longer rank as countries, just territories open for the taking–have confident nationalistic populations willing to lose their lives in defense of their subservience to Washington and their domestic oppression.
Can anyone seriously imagine Sweden, whose military-aged ethnic males are afraid to prevent immigrant-invaders’ rapes of ethnic Swedish women because they would be arrested for hate crimes, forming an army capable of facing Russian troops? Or Germans for that matter, a task beyond the Wehrmacht, possibly the finest army in modern history. Or the French–a task beyond Napoleon. Certainly not the Italians, again over-run, or the Dutch lost in sexual and drug lusts.
Or for that matter Americans. Americans, whose main fighting element–Southern White Males–are racially discriminated against by Biden’s black Pentagon chief, who has prevented their promotions because “there are too many white officers,” have ceased to enlist. After all, what Southern “heterosexual white supremacist racist,” as the Biden regime describes its would be recruits, wants to be denied promotion because of his race and, because of his race and “sexual preference,” be lorded over by black female commanders and homosexuals, and soon by transgendered and illegal immigrant-invaders.
I am confident that it is impossible for any Western country to be capable of fielding an army that would not be wiped out instantly by a Russian force, a Chinese force, or even by an Iranian force. The last wars that the US won were against Spain in the 1890s and against Japan in 1945. After a 20-year effort, the US military was driven out of Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly-armed Taliban, just as it was driven out of Vietnam. I regret that this statement hurts the feelings of those who thought they were fighting for something important, but they were deceived for the profits of the military/security complex and for Washington’s hubris.
In the entirety of the Western World the belief system has been destroyed. The destruction of essential beliefs has been going on since the 1960s when university students began their chant “Western Civilization has to go.”
Well, it is gone. All that remains of America is an insane government with nuclear weapons.

Bill Gates planning for “Pandemic 2,” complete with new vaccines administered from “a little patch”
02/09/2024 // Ethan Huff // 5.3K Views
The vaccine racket is losing steam, so billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates has come up with a new design for vaccines that involves "a little patch" being slapped on a person's skin.
In a recent appearance on CNBC TV18 in India, Gates was asked about the future of vaccine manufacturing through his eyes, based on the current state of technological and healthcare advancements. Here is what he said:
"We make sure, for all these vaccines, that there's enough capacity, that there's competition so the prices keep going down. And we will have new vaccines. We'll have a TB [tuberculosis] vaccine, malaria vaccine, HIV vaccine."
Gates continued by rambling about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" that were unleashed through Operation Warp Speed, explaining that for the next pandemic, "we need to make them have longer duration, more coverage."
"And we're going to change, instead of using a needle, to use a little patch," Gates added about the newly envisioned technology.
Whether from a needle or from a patch, poison is still poison, it is important to note. Injected poison is arguably worse as it bypasses the body's natural defense mechanisms, but surely Gates has thought of that, too, and will make the patches just as, or perhaps more, toxic than their needle counterparts.
(Related: Late last year, organizations run and influenced by Bill Gates partnered with a biotechnology company to develop needle-free, Eucharist-like mRNA vaccine "wafers" for administration under the tongue.)
Gates wants to change "food," too
In the future, Gates also wants to strip farmers of being able to grow their own food. At the recent COP28 meeting of elitist globalists, Gates unveiled a strategy involving the use of "innovation to absolutely solve that problem."
At one point, Gates actually used the term "Pandemic 2" to describe another future COVID-like event that he and his partners are already preparing to capitalize on with their latest biotechnological developments.
By the way, did you know that the Latin translation of "Cor" and "ona," the two parts of the word "corona" for coronavirus, mean "heart attack?" This is surely not a coincidence as many of those who took the corona jabs suffered heart attacks or some other form of heart disease.
According to 100percentfedup.com's M. Winger, Gates is "like a worse version of Anthony Fauci."
"I guess we'll call him America's most untrusted non-doctor," Winger added. "Either way, Gates is at it again."
"Bill Gates should be arrested for crimes against humanity ... for starters," one angry commenter wrote about these latest developments.
"Stay away from 'medicine,'" wrote another about how the Western "healthcare" model is a Big Pharma farce that propagates poisons made by the likes of Gates and his cronies.
"Just amazing," said another. "Why isn't he in prison yet?"
Is there another pandemic on the way, compliments of Bill Gates? Find out more at Pandemic.news.

Another War May Be About to Break Out in America's Backyard
By Ben Kew | 5:42 PM on February 09, 2024
The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.
Venezuela is sending troops to its border with neighboring Guyana as tensions continue to escalate over a territorial dispute, raising the risk of a military conflict between the two South American nations.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal citing satellite images and videos made public by the country's military, Venezuelan forces have stationed troops, tanks, missile-equipped patrol boats, and an armored carrier at its border with Guyana.
The dispute comes as Venezuela attempts to annex the region of Essequibo, where the country's socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro has said he plans to “grant operating licenses for the exploration and exploitation of oil, gas, and mines.”
Recent offshore oil discoveries by an Exxon Mobil-led consortium have turned Guyana, a former British colony with a population of 800,000, into one of the world's hottest oil properties.
According to Energy World, Exxon plans to start drilling "two exploratory wells north and west of its prolific Stabroek block, where three oil fields are producing close to 650,000 barrels of oil a day."
"We are not going anywhere," the president of ExxonMobil Guyana, Alistair Routledge, told reporters earlier this week.
The ratcheting up of tensions comes despite an agreement signed by Maduro and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali in December, where the two sides agreed to de-escalate threats of physical force and create a joint commission to solve their territorial disputes.
In a statement to the Journal, Guyana's Foreign Ministry said that they were "not surprised by the bad faith of Venezuela" in reneging on that agreement. “We are disappointed, not surprised," they added.
Posting on the X platform on Friday, Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino launched into a bizarre tirade where he accused Guyana of agreeing to "military alliances" with the U.S. and reiterated the regime's position that it belongs to Venezuela:
The world is upside down! While Exxon Mobil, with the approval of Guyana, announces military alliances with the United States to provide security in the exploitation of oil and gas in waters to be delimited, the Bolivarian government works tirelessly bringing better living conditions, health and education to the Essequiban people, with the support of the Venezuelan armed forces.
The Argyle agreements continue to be threatened by the irresponsible attitude of the Guyana government, while the mainstream media of manipulation and deception make it seem otherwise. Essequibo is ours!
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has reiterated its support for Guyana, with presidential senior adviser Juan Gonzalez telling reporters on Monday that they would help the country continue to "strengthen its defensive capability."
"Supporting Guyana to strengthen its defensive capability as it continues to bring enormous oil windfall on the market is something we have a direct interest in," he said. “We certainly don’t want to escalate tensions, but we have our own strategic relationship with Guyana.”

Credit Card and Auto Delinquencies Soar, Especially Age Group 18 to 39
February 8, 2024
Credit card debt surged to a record high in the fourth quarter. Even more troubling is a steep climb in 90 day or longer delinquencies.
Please consider the New York Fed Household Credit Report for the Fourth Quarter 2023, released this week.
Consumer Credit Key Points
Aggregate household debt balances increased by $212 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 1.2% rise from 2023Q3. Balances now stand at $17.50 trillion and have increased by $3.4 trillion since the end of 2019, just before the pandemic recession.
Mortgage balances shown on consumer credit reports increased by $112 billion during the fourth quarter of 2023 and stood at $12.25 trillion at the end of December.
Balances on home equity lines of credit (HELOC) increased by $11 billion, the seventh consecutive quarterly increase after 2022Q1, and there is now $360 billion in aggregate outstanding balances.
Credit card balances, which are now at $1.13 trillion outstanding, increased by $50 billion (4.6%).
Auto loan balances increased by $12 billion, continuing the upward trajectory that has been in place since 2020Q2, and now stand at $1.61 trillion.
Other balances, which include retail cards and other consumer loans, grew by $25 billion. Student loan balances were effectively flat, with a $2 billion increase and stand at $1.6 trillion. In total, non-housing balances grew by $89 billion.
Record High Credit Card Debt
Credit card debt rose to a new record high of $1.13 trillion, up $50 billion in the quarter. Even more troubling is the surge in serious delinquencies, defined as 90 days or more past due.
For nearly all age groups, serious delinquencies are the highest since 2011 at best.
Auto Loan Delinquencies
Serious delinquencies on auto loans have jumped from under 3 percent in mid-2021 to to 5 percent at the end of 2023 for age group 18-29.
Age group 30-39 is also troubling. Serious delinquencies for age groups 18-29 and 30-39 are at the highest levels since 2010.
Mortgage Loans
Unlike the Great Recession, mortgages are not a serious issue.
Everyone who could refinance did refinance and often at rates near 3.0 percent. After refinancing, monthly payments dropped. Finally, rising prices put risk of foreclosure very low for all but recent buyers who stretched too far to buy a house.
Yet, here again we see a small uptick across the board but especially noticeable for age group 18-29. But this will not be a replay of the Great Recession mortgage bust.
Economists are and writers are still struggling with what seems obvious if one bothers looking beyond the headline numbers.
For example on February 7, the Wall Street Journal posted Why Americans Are So Down on a Strong Economy
What’s Going On?
In a single sentence, the economy is nowhere near as strong as the soft landing crowd thinks. That’s why people are down.
Other than mortgages, this data is very recessionary. Consumers are struggling to maintain lifestyles and using credit cards to do so.
The jobs picture is not rosy either, if anyone bothers to drill into the data instead of touting the headline numbers.
Jobs Soar but Full Time Employment Is Barely Changed Since May 2022
Payrolls are up by 5.77 million since May of 2022, but full time employment up only 457 thousand.
No amount of BLS smoothing can hide this.
For discussion, please see Jobs Soar but Full Time Employment Is Barely Changed Since May 2022
Jobs increased but employment is stagnant. People are taking on multiple jobs or coming out of retirement to take part time jobs because they are struggling to make ends meet.
Sudden Stop
Writers and analysts cannot see the picture, especially left wing rags listening to Biden about how lovely this economy is. Polls show the real score. So do the above charts.
I now expect a sudden stop that is going to hit the Fed in the face like a ton of bricks. But which way?
I am open to the idea of a deflationary bust or a stagflation mess. The former will have the Fed cutting rates, the latter would be an extreme world of hurt with the Fed’s hands tied, unable to cut.
Either way it’s going to be a serious problem. It will be another economic payback for general Fed incompetence for time and time again holding rates too low, too long.
Soft landing? Forget about it.

German bank braces for wave of bad loans in ‘greatest real estate crisis since the financial crisis’
By Hanna Ziady, CNN 3 minute read Updated 10:25 AM EST, Thu February 8, 2024
London CNN —
Deutsche Pfandbriefbank, or PBB, a German lender focused on real estate, has set aside more money for bad debts as it braces for what it says is the worst decline in commercial property values in 15 years.
PBB increased its provisions for losses on loans in the fourth quarter of 2023, taking the total set aside for the year to as much as €215 million ($231.7 million), it said in a statement Wednesday, citing “persistent weakness of the real estate markets.”
“Despite these expenses, PBB remains profitable thanks to its financial strength — even in the greatest real estate crisis since the financial crisis,” it added.
The global financial crisis peaked in 2008 as banks collapsed under the weight of huge losses on mortgages and related securities following the bursting of a bubble in the US housing market.
On Thursday, PBB announced that it had enough cash and highly liquid assets on its balance sheet — a “liquidity cushion” — to operate for six months without new funding from investors. It said it would publish further details with its 2023 earnings in March.
Fears about the health of bank balance sheets have resurfaced in recent weeks, almost a year on from a crisis that saw three US regional lenders collapse and the emergency rescue of Credit Suisse.
US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen told lawmakers Tuesday that she had concerns about the exposure of some banks to commercial real estate.
“I believe it’s manageable, although there may be some institutions that are quite stressed by this problem,” she said.
Shares of PBB, the second German bank to warn of mounting losses on commercial real estate in two weeks, have slumped 17% since Friday. The stock has tumbled more than 25% so far this year and 40% in the past six months.
Germany’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank said last week that it had allocated €123 million ($133 million) during the fourth quarter of last year to absorb potential defaults on its US commercial real estate loans. That’s more than quadruple the amount it set aside during the same three-month period in 2022.

Banks as far apart as New York, Tokyo and Zurich have also reported mounting losses on lending to the troubled commercial property sector in recent days.
On Wednesday, New York Community Bancorp attempted to reassure investors that it has enough cash to stay afloat after the stock shed about 60% of its value over the past eight days and ratings agency Moody’s downgraded the bank’s credit grade to junk.
Last week, the troubled US regional lender reported a surprise $252 million loss for the fourth quarter, a big chunk of which was tied to loans for office buildings. It also set aside $552 million in the quarter to absorb potential losses on loans, up sharply from $62 million in the previous quarter.
Also last week, Japan’s Aozora Bank said bad loans tied to US offices were partly to blame for its projected annual loss of 28 billion yen ($190 million) last year. And Swiss private bank and wealth manager Julius Baer said profit slumped 55% in 2023 because it lost 586 million Swiss francs ($680 million) on loans made to a single “European conglomerate,” reportedly the failed Austrian developer Signa Group.
This article has been updated with additional details from PBB on Thursday.

Missouri GOP Valentina Gomez candidate uses FLAMETHROWER to burn LGBTQ books...and then complains when it's censored on X and Instagram
By Kamal Sultan For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:56 EST, 9 February 2024 | Updated: 03:34 EST, 9 February 2024
A GOP candidate in Missouri has taken a flamethrower to 'grooming, indoctrinating and sexualizing' books in a wild video shared on social media as part of her campaign.
Valentina Gomez, 24, who is running to be Secretary of State, shared footage of herself setting two LGBTQ-inclusive books on fire on X on Tuesday.
'When I’m Secretary of State, I will BURN all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children. MAGA. America First,' she wrote.
Gomez ended the video with a picture of her holding a large gun as well as her campaign poster.
She complained her clip was censored on Instagram and X as it was flagged as hateful conduct.
Gomez began the video by showing off her flame thrower that was already lit.
'This is what I'll do to the grooming books when I become secretary of state,' she said before burning the books.
'These books come from a Missouri Public Library. When I am in office, they will burn,' she added.
The books in the video included Naked: Not Your Average Sex Encyclopedia, which was written by Myriam Daguzan Bernier and Queer, 2nd Edition: The Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens by Kathy Belge and Marke Bieschke.
Her campaign director Maicoll Gomez told NBC News the 'message is simple.'
'You want to be gay? Fine be gay. Just don’t do it around children,' she said in a statement.
'Stop putting books in libraries about sexualization, indoctrination and grooming of children. Children need to learn mathematics, science, developing their people skills, getting fit, while protecting their innocence.
'Not learning the ideologies that the radical left loves to push on children. I am against all drag shows around children, pride flags in classrooms, teachers with pronouns, people wanting to "change" genders, and people that can’t even define what a woman is.
'If genitals don’t define gender, how does removing them affirm it. I only fear God.'
Belge, one of the authors of the books Gomez burned, said Americans 'should be concerned that a candidate for public office not only thinks book burning is acceptable, but that it is something that will help her get elected.'
'My book Queer: The Ultimate LGBTQ Book for Teens was written to give teens accurate and helpful information about what it means to be part of the LGBTQ community,' she added.
'We discuss important issues that teens face, like coming out, bullying, dating and finding community and support. And yes, dealing with haters like this political candidate.
'I suggest this candidate leave queer kids alone and focuses instead on the real issues that will make lives of people in Missouri better.'
Gomez's post is similar to one made by Missouri state senator and 2024 GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Eigel.
He, along with state Senator Nick Schroer, was seen firing flames at cardboard boxes nd books during the St. Charles County Freedom Fest event outside St. Louis on September 15.
'In the video, I am taking a flame thrower(sic) to cardboard boxes representing what I am going to do to the leftist policies and RINO corruption of the Jeff City swamp,' he wrote on X.
'But let’s be clear, you bring those woke pornographic books to Missouri schools to try to brainwash our kids, and I’ll burn those too - on the front lawn of the governor’s mansion.'
Republican states have increasingly pushed ban books that they claim are inappropriate for children out of school libraries.
Missouri is one of around 40 states that has introduced bills to restrict how critical race theory, racism or sexism is discussed in classrooms since January 2021.

For even the novice can see the events that have started are not going to stop, but these events have been recorded in my word that they would take place and they will continue to take place. For only if you were fast asleep could you miss what is going on right now, for I have called for my church to be watchman, I’ve called for you to be awake and know and see the hour that you are living in. For it is very, very clear now. For I gave you the sign and my word even tells you about the fig tree, for that is the most important thing and as you see what is taking place right now it will not stop, but it will continue right on through the events that I said would take place for this time and this hour. etc

FYI . . .Preps for this show if the worst happens
World Hal Turner 09 February 2024 Hits: 19589
I have been reporting to all of you the developments in Poland that lead many to believe NATO will enter the Russia-Ukraine conflict before May 5. I have renewed my urgent suggestions that all of you have emergency "preps" like food, water, medicine, a generator, communications gear like a CB or HAM radio, and I want you to know what I am doing/have done to "prep" this show.
When the Russia-Ukraine thing broke out, and it became clear that the US and NATO would be getting involved by shipping weapons, I worried to myself if Russia might take that as us being a "participant" in the conflict. So I MOVED the servers for this web site to South America. It's a big deal: one primary server, providing content via the cloud to 19 other data centers around the planet. When you type in my website address and your browser goes out to the DNS server, my DNS routes your request to the geographically closest data center (that's up and running) to speed-up your content delivery. Not everything is coming into or going out of a single place.
Every time YOU have visited this site for the past 2+ years, it has served you from South America!
I also established back-up streaming audio servers down in South America as well, but have never utilized them.
The streaming audio right now comes out of Oregon and it's a big deal, but in a different setup than the website. Multiple audio servers operating through a load balancer, which can automatically spin-up additional servers to accommodate demand. But Oregon is near Washington State and we have a gigantic naval base in Bremerton, WA, which is home to much of our Pacific Fleet.
So if Bremerton gets nuked, Oregon will likely feel the EMP repercussions and that data center may go offline. Hence, the reason I set up a big audio server system in South America, just in case.
Here in New Jersey, just outside NYC, all of you are aware that the show goes out over a fiber optic line and there is a separate, fiber optic line as a fail-over. If both fiber optics are down, there is a cellular data fail-over. For awhile, I also had laser failover but it was just too expensive and I had to get rid of that. I have a backup generator and fuel for it on-site. It's all on battery back-ups which can provide at least one hour of service, which is more than ample time to go out and crank-up the generator. The NJ house also has an EMP SHIELD in the main electrical panel with the hope it bleeds-off any EMP.
In the Pennsylvania home I inherited when my mom died, (after I had to pay off her Reverse Mortgage) I have a Cable modem and, just recently was able to add a single Fiber optic connection. But because trees falling can take out those land-based lines -- and have done so in big storms quite frequently -- I also have a cellular failover, and two satellite uplinks.
ALL of that gear is on Uninterruptible power supplies that can provide power for at least one hour, and I have two Generators on site, all hard-wired in. The one generator is 13KW and surge to 15KW, the other was my mom's and it's tiny 4KW. That house also has an EMP SHIELD in the main electrical panel.
All our motor vehicles have EMP SHIELDS installed in them - even my snow plow truck!
So I have done everything I know how to do to make certain the show __can__ air each night, no matter what.
Late last week, after finding out that Poland issued a NOTAM to all aircraft flying in the eastern 1/4 of the country, to maintain radio comms with air traffic control and to use their Transponders even at flight levels below 9500', it became evident to me that NATO is likely to enter the Russia-Ukraine conflict within the time period of the NOTAM, which continues until May 5.
It seems clear to me that if NATO enters that war, the missiles will fly and some of them would - in my view - fly here. If Russia takes out the US, then NATO collapses immediately. So we ARE, in my view, an early target.
So I spoke to Alan Weiner at WBCQ and inquired of him as to whether WBCQ has a back-up generator for the transmitter on 7490. It does! A 250KW generator which, according to Alan, EATS FUEL.
I have also inquired of WRMI in Miami, Florida and WWCR in Nashville, TN. I am waiting to hear back from them.
I tell you all of this because I want you to know I'm not just out here telling YOU to prep, I'm actually doing it myself.
I have no idea where all this crap is heading, but I am thinking about it and am taking steps to actually BE PREPARED.

The United States Has Zero National Security
February 8, 2024
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
In his newly published book, Nuclear High-Attitude Electromagnetic Pulse, Steven Starr shows that all it takes is one nuclear explosion to shut down the United States and throw the population back into the Dark Ages. The electric power grid would be destroyed along with the communications system, the cooling systems at nuclear power plants and all electronic devices. The reason is that civilian infrastructure is not protected from ElectroMagneticPulse (EMP). The military has taken steps to shield its weapon and communication systems, but nothing has been done to protect civilian infrastructure. Bills mandating EMP protection have been defeated in Congress.
Starr reports that only 4% of the US military budget is required to shield the power grid and civilian infrastructure. Instead, the Washington idiots waste trillions of dollars in pointless wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, and Ukraine.
American cities would suffer no effects from blast and fire, such as would be produced by ground level detonation, but the consequences would be just as dire. Starr describes them in a summary on his website: https://nuclearfamine.org/connect/
Effects of a single high-altitude nuclear detonation over the Eastern U.S.
“105 miles above Ohio, a single nuclear warhead explodes. Because it is far above the atmosphere, there will be no blast or fire effects felt on Earth, however, this high-altitude nuclear detonation will create a gigantic electromagnetic pulse or EMP.
“In one billionth of a second, the initial EMP E1 wave will cause massive voltages and currents to form within power lines, telecommunication lines, cables, wires, antennas, and any other electrically conductive material found beneath the nuclear detonation in a circular area covering hundreds of thousands of square miles.
“Within this region, under ideal conditions, the E1 wave will produce 2 million volts and a current of 5,000 to 10,000 amps within medium distribution power lines. Any unshielded modern electronic devices that contain solid-state circuitry, which are plugged into the grid, will be disabled, damaged, or destroyed. This includes the electronic devices required to operate all critical national infrastructure.
“Unshielded electronic devices within ground, air, and sea transportation systems, water and sanitation systems, fuel and food distribution systems, water and sanitation systems, telecommunication systems, and banking systems would all be simultaneously knocked out of service – and all these systems would be disabled until the solid-state electronics required to operate them could be repaired or replaced.
“The E1 wave will also instantly destroy millions of glass insulators found on 15 kilovolt-class electric power distribution lines. 78% of all electricity in the US is delivered to end users (residential, agricultural, commercial) through these 15 kV power lines. The loss of a single insulator on a line can knock out power distribution on the entire line.
“At the same instant, the massive voltage and current induced by the E1 wave will damage and destroy the relays, sensors, and control panels at 1783 High Voltage Substations, knocking out the entire electric power grid in the eastern half of the United States.
“One to ten seconds after the nuclear detonation, the following EMP E3 wave would induce powerful current flows in power lines including lines that are both above and below ground. E3 would damage or destroy many – if not most – of the Large Power Transformers and Extra High Voltage Circuit Breakers required for the long-distance transmission of about 90% of electrical power in the United States.
“The loss of Large Power Transformers and Extra High Voltage Circuit Breakers would mean that entire regions within the United States would be left without electric power for up to a year or longer. This is because Large Power Transformers are not stockpiled and the current wait time for their manufacture is 18 to 24 months; they must be custom designed and manufactured and about 80% are made overseas. They each weigh between 200 and 400 tons and must be shipped by sea and moving them to their final destination is quite difficult even under normal circumstances.
“Because nuclear power plants are not designed to withstand the effects of EMP, the solid-state electronics within their backup electrical and cooling systems would also be damaged and disabled. The failure of their Emergency Power Systems and active Emergency Core Cooling Systems will make it impossible to cool their reactor cores after emergency shutdown; this will quickly lead to reactor core meltdowns at dozens of nuclear power plants.
“To summarize, a single nuclear high-altitude electromagnetic pulse can instantly take out most or all of the US power grid while simultaneously destroying the solid-state electronic devices required to operate US critical national infrastructure – including the safety systems at nuclear power plants. Following a nuclear EMP, the people of the US would suddenly find themselves living in the conditions of the Middle Ages for a period possibly as long as a year – most Americans would not be able to survive such circumstances.
“For less than 4% of the US national defense budget, the US power grid and critical infrastructure can be shielded from EMP. However, the political will to implement this protection has not yet been found, so Americans remain very much at risk.”
The book is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kindle. If you read it, you will be amazed and disgusted at the negligence and stupidity of the US government. Thanks to the fools who govern us, we have zero national security despite the massive expenditures year after year, decade after decade.
People do not realize that the convenience and entertainment provided by their cell phones comes at great cost when measured by risk. Nothing is secure in the digital age, not your identity, your privacy, your bank account, or your independence. The expansion of the digital revolution into money will mean that you can be denied access to your money for any reason including the exercise of free speech. All accumulated knowledge in digital form can be erased by one EMP. Try to imagine the consequences of such a loss. These are new risks never before experienced on Earth.

Canadians forced to dig through five feet of snow after blizzard hits Nova Scotia
Feb 8, 2024
Heavy snow pummeled coastal areas of Nova Scotia in Canada over the weekend as a strong low-pressure system stalled just off the Canadian Maritimes.
Widespread snow totals of well over a foot were observed across the province as the storm pummeled the region from Friday into Monday. A volunteer observer in Sydney, Nova Scotia, reported 59 inches of snow, according to Environment Canada. The official observation in town reported just over 40 inches.
Halifax’s airport recorded just over 33 inches of snow during the storm, with widespread totals of 12-16 inches in the heart of town.
“I assure you we will dig out. It will take time, but we will dig out,” Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said during a news conference Monday. “It has certainly been a historic snow event.”
Houston said there were 500 calls for help to 911 on Sunday and another 300 calls Monday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were busy clearing several snow-related crashes along the region’s streets and highways.
The snow has since tapered off, but snowplows are still struggling to clear such a tremendous amount of snow.
Mark Peachey, Chief of Public Works in Nova Scotia, says more than 1,000 workers are using 400 pieces of equipment to clear roads. Houston said they are bringing in extra equipment from the western side of Nova Scotia, which was spared the onslaught, as well as neighboring provinces.
“If you can help a friend or neighbor dig out, please do, but be careful not to overdo it,” Houston said.
Houston said he was not aware of any communities that were completely cut off by heavy snow, but there are a lot of people in rural areas whose roads are impassable right now.
“There are lots of families that we know are isolated,” Houston said. “We just ask them to be patient … It will be days before some of these rural roads are cleared.”

China has made 'dramatic advances' in its hypersonic missiles that can reach up to 6,500mph and are almost impossible to stop, intelligence officials warn
China has designed the lethal weapons to destroy enemy aircraft carriers
By Mark Nicol Diplomacy Editor For The Daily Mail
Published: 19:21 EST, 7 February 2024 | Updated: 20:47 EST, 7 February 2024
China has made 'dramatic advances' in hypersonic missiles that fly too fast to be intercepted, intelligence officials warn.
They said the DF-17 – and its successor the DF-27 – reach speeds approaching some 6,500 miles per hour and they are almost impossible to stop.
China has designed these weapons to destroy aircraft carriers, such as Britain's flagship vessels HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, over a range of up to 5,000 miles.
The UK, Australia and the United States, who formed the AUKUS alliance, are frantically looking for some sort of preventative measures.
The Chinese 'Hypersonic Glide Vehicles' fly on lower trajectory than intercontinental ballistic missiles, making them harder to intercept.
One concerned official said: 'The buzz phrase here is that "speed is the new stealth".
'China has prioritised this capability and has generated the world's leading arsenal of HGVs.
'It has made dramatic advances in this area in the 2020s. Countering this threat is a priority for AUKUS.
'Countering the delivery mechanism, which fires the missile, is more effective than countering the missile itself. We would have to hit the bases, hit the launch systems.'
Britain does not have hypersonic missiles while the US is only testing these weapons.
Russia has been utilising much less sophisticated versions of the Chinese HGVs during the conflict in Ukraine.
China's missiles are capable of carrying nuclear payloads. It is considered likely Beijing would seek to use its HGVs against US and UK navies in the South China Sea.

Map Shows NATO Territory Losing GPS Amid Russia Electronic Warfare Drill
Published Jan 18, 2024 at 9:33 AM EST Updated Jan 18, 2024 at 10:28 AM EST
Global Positioning System (GPS) disturbances detected across NATO member Poland on Tuesday have sparked speculation of Russian involvement, following a similar incident in the region this month.
Polish news outlet Radio Zet portal reported "over northern and central Poland, the GPS signal was again jammed," with Warsaw, Łódź, Tricity and Olsztyn among cities affected and that Swedish military intelligence agency MUST was investigating the cause.
Other Polish news outlets reported disturbances and an interference map available on the gpsjam.org website showed the extent of GPS problems across much of Poland, with a high level of interference over Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave that borders the country.
"Russians tested EW in Kaliningrad, so almost half of Poland and the Suwalki corridor were left without GPS," said Jürgen Nauditt, who posts on X, formerly Twitter, about the war in Ukraine, referring to the strategically sensitive area between Belarus and Kaliningrad along the Polish-Lithuanian border.
Earlier in January, GPS jamming was detected in eastern and southeastern parts of NATO's newest member Finland, which Jukka Savolainen from the country's Hybrid Competence Center said may have been "intentionally caused or by-products" of Russia's activities.
While there is no proof of Moscow's involvement, the incident followed growing tensions between Finland and Russia due to the former's accession to the alliance and Helsinki's closer ties with the U.S. military.
Gpsjam.org organizer John Wiseman noted the significance of the Russian Ministry of Defense announcement of an electronic warfare (EW) exercise with the Baltic Fleet based in Kaliningrad in December, days before jamming around the region increased.
Wiseman has previously told Newsweek that the earlier outages were "plausibly within reach of Russian jammers, either in Kaliningrad or on ships in the Baltic Sea."
Markus Jonsson, an X user who writes about open-source intelligence, shared a map of disturbances on January 3, writing that a "Baltic jammer" was responsible and was based in Kaliningrad. Regarding the latest incident, Jonsson posted on Wednesday: "I think the Baltic Jammer started tonight 21:20 and that it ran on high effect for just a short while.
"Effects, by my metrics, are seen very far from suspected source in Kaliningrad. Much further than possible via radio-emission from one spot."
Pro-Ukrainian X account MAKS 23 also shared an image of the gpsjam.org map, saying that Russia's electronic warfare system in Kaliningrad and that "half of Poland and the Suwalki corrider were left without GPS," prompting security expert Giorgi Koberidze to write in the thread: "Russia is testing the West."
The post was shared by journalist Euan MacDonald, who wrote: "A Russian jammer in Kaliningrad can cause widespread disruption to GPS signals. In Ukraine, the Russians have been using GPS jamming to disrupt Western-made HIMARS, Excalibur and JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) weapons."
"It appears they're testing it here for a potential future attack on Poland, Baltics," he added. Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry for comment.

Russia To Teach Nuclear Survival & Weapons Training In School While U.S. Students Are Sitting Ducks In Gun Free Zone Schools, As China Warns Of NATO Escalation To World War
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline February 7, 2024
During the cold war, which started in 1947 after the end of World War II and lasted to 1991, Americans were told to "duck and cover" in the event of a nuclear explosion. The Federal Civil Defense Administration, in consultation with the Safety Commission of the National Educational, created and released the "Duck and Cover - Bert the Turtle" (1951) short film, which was a little over 9 minutes.
There is a short one minute version listed as the original TV advert, which we will show below for those young enough to have never seen it, with the full 9 minutes 14 second version at the bottom of this article.
The reason for reminding those that remember and telling those that never saw it, about this short film, and about what children were taught here in the U.S., is because Russia also had a training program for their school students, which ended in 1993.
Well, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law in August 2023 to reinstate nuclear war survival training in schools, called "reminiscent of a Soviet-era basic military training course that was taught in schools and was abolished in 1993" by Newsweek.
Students will learn about "the combat properties and damaging effects of weapons of mass destruction, as well as methods of protection against them." It will be part of a subject being rolled out in high schools in Russia called "Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland," newspaper Kommersant reported on Tuesday, citing a document from the Ministry of Education.
More:
...Other elements of the subject include basic military training, how to use a Kalashnikov assault rifle and hand grenades, how to administer first aid in combat, and lessons on self-defense.
The difference between what Russians are taught in the case they survive an initial nuclear attack, such as the training described above, and what Americans are taught (which is nothing), is the difference between night and day.
It seems unbelievable that Russian citizens are being taught to fight against an enemy invader as well as surviving after a nuclear attack, while the Biden regime and liberal state leaders are busy trying to push gun control and leaving school students as sitting ducks in "gun-free zones."
As an aside before moving along, Russia also has underground bomb shelters for their citizenry, and America has underground bunkers for their military leaders, government leaders, and both group's families and nothing for the rest of us.
While Russia started upgrading the bomb shelters throughout the country when the war between Russia and Ukraine began in early 2022, the school nuclear survival training doesn't begin until September, with the bill signed in 2023.
The point here is that Russia is actively preparing their people for war with NATO and the west.

NUCLEAR POWERS WARN BIDEN REGIME....
Russian media have often warned of a world war, which would officially be World War III, with NATO and the west. over financial and weapons aid form the west, mainly the U.S. A Russian journalist reported back a year ago that WWIII was "already underway."
Taking this a step further, the war against Hamas by Israel after a terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has also brought about warnings to the U.S. from both Russia and China.
Iran, which supports both Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, on the other side, has unleashed attacks against U.S. military members in Iraq and Syria, which has brought about retaliation in both countries, after killing three U.S. soldiers.
Iran, behind these attacks has not been attack...yet, but the U.S. is already being warned by both Russia and China, about a "cycle of retaliation," if Iran is attacked.
China:
China has been quick to urge a policy of restraint, in order to "prevent further escalation".
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said: "We have also noted that Iran stated that it had nothing to do with the attack.
"We hope that all relevant parties will remain calm and restrained... in order to avoid falling into a vicious cycle of retaliation and prevent further escalation.
Note that we have recently had a massive increase in Chinese nationals illegally crossing the U.S. border, and like others they have been released into the nation without monitoring.
On February 5, 2024, it was reported that 60 Minutes tells Americans that Chinese are now the fast growing group crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. The 60 Minutes' video report will also be at the bottom of this article.
Chinese state media has also issued warning on behalf of China's leaders since their media is state sponsored, saying that NATO could expand the conflict with Russia into world war.
Russia:
Russia has also waded in on the issue, saying it's time for "steps to de-escalate tensions".
Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov said: "In our view, the overall level of tension is very alarming and, on the contrary, now is the time for steps to de-escalate tensions.
"This is the only thing that can help us prevent further spreading of the conflict, especially the Middle East conflict, and somehow achieve de-confliction and de-escalation."
It is noteworthy that both Russia and China are nuclear powers. Russia has more nuclear weapons that the United States, while China has between 350 and 500. Wikipedia claims China has 500, while World Population Review says they have 350, and Arms Control says China has 410.
Either way, between Russia and China, they have more nuclear weapons that the U.S. It is also worth mentioning that while the U.S. inserts ourselves into almost all wars around the globe, it is unclear who, if anyone, would step up to help America if directly attacked.
Related: Joe Biden is playing with fire in the Middle East
Many believe we are on our way to World War III, but as we have stated before, we believe we are already at the beginning of WWIII.
Why?
While there is no set amount of countries that need to be involved in a world war, a look to WWI, and we note that 30 nations were involved in the fighting, with more than 50 for WWII. More than 50 have already been "involved" in the Russia/Ukraine via war, sending money and equipment to Ukraine, with others siding with Russia. Now, some of the same countries are also siding with either Iran, or Israel in the war against Hamas.
Does a nation have to have boots on the ground to be considered a world war?
Well, we look at WWII and see that "World War II began in Europe on 1 September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland and the United Kingdom and France's declaration of war on Germany two days later on 3 September 1939," via Wiki.
So looking back WWII officially started with only four countries involved until others joined, but that is listed as the beginning of the world war.
Right now we have more than four countries bombing each other with Russia and Ukraine, then with Hamas attacking Israel and Israel declaring war on Hamas, which has Iran backing Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis, all listed as terrorist groups, and the U.S. and the UK bombing locations in both Iraq and Syria. Oh, the Houthis are located in Yemen.
• A large number of countries participating in the conflict - Check
• Battles fought across many geographical locations - Check
• Extensive casualties and destruction - Check
Yeah, looks like we are living through the beginning of a world war, doesn't it?
BOTTOM LINE
We are witnessing the start of a third world war, and the Biden regime, with their media supporters, won't be transparent about it until after it hits American soil, which will be too late to prepare to survive if you were not killed in the initial attack.

Deadly Pineapple Express storm caused a staggering EIGHT MILLION GALLONS of raw SEWAGE to spill in Los Angeles streets and nearly 500 mudslides: San Diego faces more rain in coming days
Heavy rain has battered California with half of the rainfall typically seen in a year falling over several days
Health officials have warned residents in the area to stay away from coastal waters as eight million gallons of sewage spilled into the Dominguez Channel
Sanitation crews in the area have struggled to contain the sewage which has flowed down major streets and into storm drainage systems

The deadly Pineapple Express storm in California has caused a shocking eight million gallons of raw sewage to spill on to Los Angeles streets and triggered more than 500 mudslides.
Heavy rain has battered the state with half of the rainfall typically seen in a year falling over several days.
The atmospheric river – a weather pattern made from plumes of moisture that can produce torrential amounts of rain- has killed at least nine people, washed away dozens of homes and led to an enormous sewage spill in Los Angeles County.
Health officials have warned residents in the area to stay away from coastal waters as eight million gallons of sewage spilled into the Dominguez Channel. Raw sewage can lead to a host of diseases including Hepatitis A, E. Coli and dysentery.
Sanitation crews in the area have struggled to contain the sewage, which has flowed down major streets and into storm drainage systems.
A major sewage spill happened in Rancho Dominguez, which is 10 miles north of Long Beach, on Monday and spewed millions of gallons of waste out of manholes.
'The problem has been an extremely unusual amount of rainwater leaking into the county sewer system causing more flow than some sewer pipelines can handle,' LA County Sanitation District spokesman Bryan Langpap told the Los Angeles Times.
Just a day later, more sewage escaped manholes around 20 miles downtown of Los Angeles and the solid waste went into the Dominguez Channel and Compton Creek.
A warning was then sent out by public health officials for people to avoid beaches in the area.
Around seven million Americans become ill from exposure to raw sewage every single year and seven percent of cases are fatal or severe.
Waste can lead to a host of diseases as it can carry viruses, bacteria and parasites.
The water close to Cabrillo Beach is being tested for bacteria that can survive in saltwater for up to three days and can cause diarrhea and other health issues.
'Water contact during a rain advisory may cause illness, especially in children, the elderly and susceptible people,' public health officials said.
'Bacteria levels may take 72 hours or more to return to normal after heavy rainfall.
'At all times, beach users are cautioned to avoid water contact near flowing creeks and storm drains.'
On Wednesday afternoon, around 2.5 million people in Los Angeles, including Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills, were still under a flash flood warning.
The storm, fueled by the second of back-to-back atmospheric rivers to hit California in days, came ashore last weekend in the state's north before it moved down the coast and parked itself over the south for days.
It has turned roads into rivers, causing hundreds of landslides and killing at least nine people.
The storm dumped more than a foot of rain in some areas, making it one of the wettest periods on record for Southern California.
One final drenching was expected Wednesday before the system gave way to fair weather for most of the state by the weekend. But even after the rain, authorities warned of the ongoing threat of collapsing hillsides.
After all of the rain and snow of the past week, it wouldn´t take much for more water, mud and boulders to sluice down fragile hillsides, experts said.
There have been at least 520 mudslides in Los Angeles alone.
The system dumped heavy rain and mountain snow in San Diego County overnight before giving way to scattered showers. Winter storm warnings and advisories continued in Southern California mountains and to the north in the Sierra Nevada.
Around 430 trees fell in Los Angeles alone, the city said, and work crews have struggled to deal with the storm's aftermath.
Electrical outages on Wednesday had been substantially reduced from their peak levels, but there were still more than 71,000 customers without power, mostly in northern and central parts of the state, according to Poweroutage.us.
People were urged to avoid touching downed lines and to steer clear of roads that are at-risk of flooding and mud. During the storm, at least 50 stranded motorists in Los Angeles were rescued from fast-moving swollen creeks, rivers, roads and storm channels, fire officials said.
Four of the nine people killed by the storm were hit by falling trees or limbs, according to Brian Ferguson, a spokesperson for the Governor´s Office of Emergency Services.
Another died when power failed and she lost her oxygen supply, one drowned in the Tijuana River near the U.S.-Mexico border and three died in vehicle crashes, he said.
Atmospheric rivers also pummeled the state last year and caused at least 20 deaths.

Russia and China join forces in the Arctic as part of 'no limits' pact boosting oil and LNG ties while U.S. has 'only one functional ice breaker,' intelligence report warns
A new report warns that the West risks ceding control of the Arctic to China
It says Moscow's increasing isolation has led it to closer ties with Beijing
Chinese companies are now at the forefront of developing LNG facilities
By Rob Crilly, Senior U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.Com
Published: 19:34 EST, 7 February 2024 | Updated: 19:39 EST, 7 February 2024
Russia and China have stepped up cooperation in the Artic ever since Russian forces invaded Ukrainian, according to a new private intelligence report, which warns that the U.S. is falling far behind Moscow in its efforts to develop the region.
At one time Russia sought to limit the role of the People's Republic of China in the Arctic, says the report by Strider Technologies.
That has changed as Moscow found itself isolated in the wake of the war in Ukraine.
'Russia’s increasing willingness to allow the PRC in the Arctic demonstrates the realness of their "no-limits" partnership and its potential counterbalance to U.S.-led alliances,' it concludes.
The result is that the West may never catch up, and could forever cede control of the Atlantic to China and Russia.
In particular the report, based on open-source intelligence, reveals how Moscow is increasingly reliant on Chinese companies to help develop the Northern Sea Route - the shortest route between European ports and the Far East - and energy infrastructure.
The warning comes at a time of great uncertainty and opportunity in the Arctic region. Climate change is opening up a massive new frontier for geopolitical rivalries to play out, unlocking a treasure trove of untapped natural resources and trade routes.
The report illustrates how an increasingly isolated Russia has had to find new partners to develop the region, fill gaps created by sanctions.
In particular, once Sweden becomes a member of NATO, U.S. allies will surround the Artic Circle, apart from the stretch controlled by Russia.
And the seven other countries that make up the Artic Council have all ended their cooperation with Moscow.
That meant Russia had been forced to look to China, according to Eric Levesque co-founder of Strider, allowing it to reduce its own spending in the region as it funnels cash to its war effort.
'This pivot underscores the diplomatic and economic isolation Moscow is experiencing in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine and growing reliance on the P.R.C. for its economic development and security goals,' he said.
'However, Russia's adept use of cross-border partnerships and private sector engagement in Arctic development demonstrates a more effective approach than that of its Western counterparts, staying true to its historical reliance on private enterprises to bolster state initiatives.'
The survey found that in the 18 months up to June 2023, 234 P.R.C.-owned companies registered to operate in Russia-controlled Arctic territory. That represented an 87 percent increase on the two years before that.
Chinese companies had also stepped into fill the gap left by Western companies after the invasion of Ukraine.
In particular, companies including the China National Petroleum Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation stepped into keep the Arctic LNG2 Project afloat (which will produce almost 20 million metric tons of liquified natural gas a year) while others provided key technologies such as gas turbines.
Meanwhile, although Russian defense spending plunged by 90 percent ahead of the invasion, it has been replaced by a surge in activity by private-sector companies and entrepreneurs.
Use of the Northern Sea Route is also accelerating. In 2023, at least 11 ships transported Russian crude oil to the P.R.C. via this route through the Arctic, after just one transit in 2022.
Levesque said the U.S. was being left behind.
'The Arctic for the U.S. consistently seems to be an afterthought,' he told NBC News. 'U.S. has not been prioritizing it. Russia is probably 10 years or more ahead of the U.S.
'We have, like, one functional icebreaker, and it was built in the 70s.'
Lawmakers share those concerns about growing Chinese-Russian cooperation. The issue was examined at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee last year
'We must respond to bolster our presence, both military and civilian, to make sure that we can protect our national security interests, economic security interests, energy security interests and environmental security interests that are so critical to our national security, said Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska.
The Strider report concludes that Western policymakers need to work harder than ever to understand the region's changing dynamics.
'These stakeholders need to look beyond the Russian rhetoric and identify the key players spearheading Russia’s Arctic strategy,' it says.
'The West is already trailing Russia’s Arctic development, but without this knowledge, the West may never catch up and the Arctic region will find itself completely within Russia and the P.R.C.'s sphere of influence.;

Do Not Reward Evil as Good
By Hal Lindsey
Axios and certain other media outlets have recently reported that the State Department is considering recognizing Palestine as a state. There are a host of reasons why that’s a bad idea. One of the worst is this — it rewards terrorism. It rewards the very worst in human behavior.
The idea is that the United States would make this move soon after Israel’s campaign in Gaza ends — and US pressure to end the campaign is already enormous. Hamas would then be able to say to every terror group in the world, “Here’s how you get the really big concessions. Kill, mutilate, rape, burn people to death, and take lots of innocents as hostages.”
To recognize a state of Palestine in the aftermath of their October terror attacks on Israel, would encourage every rogue group on earth to follow that wicked path. It would bring chaos to this planet, the likes of which have never been seen before!
For decades, the United States has called for a two-state solution in the Holy Land. But the US has said such a solution must be predicated on negotiation among the people who live there, and that it cannot be imposed from the outside. But the present administration seems to be considering a radical change in that policy. How radical? The Biden Administration is reportedly considering imposing a new state of Palestine in a Middle East where terms and borders have not been negotiated, much less implemented. The plan is to go in the opposite direction from previous US policy and impose this “peace plan” from the outside, from far-off Washington.
The Palestinian goal has not changed from the PLO’s beginning. They want the complete annihilation of the State of Israel and the genocide of Jews around the world. They have tried to do it by sheer force, but even with the help of invading Arab armies, they have failed every time. They have now made it clear that they are willing to accomplish their goal in stages.
A key stage in that campaign is recognition of Palestine as a state by the United Nations. In 2012, they were accepted by the UN as “an observer state,” but the US has blocked the UN from giving full recognition to Palestine. 139 of the UN’s 193 member states have given full recognition to “Palestine,” a nation that has never existed in all of world history.
Some things are known by everyone in the world — known by instinct, intuition, and by experience. One is that if you reward a behavior, you will get more of it. We all know that’s true. That’s why we reward puppies with treats and give children words of praise when they do right. Real life proves this idea again and again. The ones who still think it’s a good idea to positively reward evil behavior mostly live in the ivory towers of academia and government.
In the real world, we know that if you don’t want people to break the law, don’t reward lawbreaking. If you don’t want drug addiction, don’t reward drug use. If you don’t want people to cross your borders illegally, don’t reward attempts at illegal immigration. If you don’t want kidnapping, don’t reward kidnappers.
And most of all — if you don’t want terrorism, don’t reward terrorist acts!

To Whom Does the Land of Israel Belong?
By Hal Lindsey
In 2007, the powers that run this world aimed their big guns at Israel… and shot themselves in the foot.
That year, the UN General Assembly voted for something known as The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, often shortened to UNDRIP. One hundred forty-four countries voted in favor, 4 against, with 11 abstentions. The US voted against it during those Bush years, but under the Obama Administration formally endorsed it in 2010.
Many had hoped to use UNDRIP as a means of leveraging power for the Palestinians. They should have realized there was a problem with their plan when Israel voted for the resolution.
Why? Because the Jews are the indigenous people in the land of Israel. It goes back 3,500 years. UNDRIP specifically says that it cannot be used for the purpose of racial discrimination. If anyone says this doesn’t apply to Jews, they are violating the resolution’s provision against discrimination.
Over the years, a series of international treaties have confirmed the historical right of the Jews as the indigenous people of the land, including Judea and Samaria (known in the media as “the West Bank”). Michel Calvo is a lawyer specializing in international law. Last month for the Gatestone Institute, he wrote, “After the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), British Mandate for Palestine (1922), San Remo Resolution (1920), and Treaty of Sevres (1920) created international law, and recognized and re-established the historical indigenous rights of the Jews to their land.”
In 1922, the League of Nations recognized and affirmed “the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” The UN Charter specifically forbids the United Nations from undoing international law and agreements written prior to the formation of the UN. Article 80 says, “Nothing in this Charter shall be construed in or of itself to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments to which Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties.”
Calvo also says, “Recent UN General Assembly Resolutions stating that the settlement of Jews in Judea Samaria is contrary to international law are no more than recommendations and have never led to amendments of existing binding treaties. UN Security Council Resolutions, stating that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal, are not binding. Only resolutions taken under Chapter VII of the UN Charter are binding on all UN member states.”
In recent years, Israel has been depicted in the media as a rogue state, flaunting international law by allowing Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. But that simply isn’t true. International law gives them clear rights to all of the land. They are willing to negotiate with Palestinians and give up part of that land. But it isn’t something required by international law. It is a possible political solution to an ongoing political problem.
Not everyone accepts the authority of the Bible. But those people can simply look to international law and see the rights of the Jews to the Holy Land.
For those who believe the Bible, this issue shouldn’t even be a question. God gave title deed to the Holy Land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He reaffirmed it again and again. In this case, there’s no conflict between international law and God’s law. If you say you believe the Bible, it should be obvious. God gave the Holy Land to the Jews forever!

What is Hamas?
By Hal Lindsey
A surprising number of American organizations and politicians have come out against Israel in the recent fighting. They almost always say they are standing with Palestinians, not Hamas. But that’s like coming out against the United States in World War II, claiming you only support Germans, not Nazis.
Hamas runs Gaza. In the month of May, Hamas fired more than 4,000 missiles into Israel from Gaza. But Israel did not return fire with an all-out assault on the Palestinians of Gaza. They struck military targets. And, yes, they struck them hard. In a matter of days, Israel substantially degraded Hamas’s ability to wage their war of terror. For that, millions now blame Israel.
What is Hamas? Why have Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, and the United States designated Hamas a terrorist organization? Why have other nations, such as Australia, New Zealand, Paraguay, and the United Kingdom, designated Hamas’s military wing a terrorist organization? And remember, it was their military wing firing rockets at Israeli children.
These nations designated Hamas a terror group because terror is the organization’s chief tactic, and violence is its mode of operation. Hamas’s violence goes back to its very beginning. The preamble to their charter says, “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it.”
The eradication of Israel is their goal. They don’t just want to win a military victory over Israel or carve out a Palestinian state. Hamas wants nothing less than the destruction of the Jewish people. Genocide is their aim and reason. How could you describe Hamas as anything but a terror group?
In Article 32 of their charter, they say that the Jew’s “scheme has been laid out in the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion.’” The protocols are a hoax first published in Russia in 1903. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, the protocols began to be taught in German schools. But it was proven false early on. For one thing, you can trace much of the source material to known works of fiction. But for Hamas and its supporters, anything against Jews must be true.
The Hamas charter depicts Jews using old stereotypes. Article 22 blames the Jews for World Wars I and II, as well as the French and communist revolutions. This illustrates yet again that their hatred is not for Israel alone, but for Jews generally. Article 7 says, “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”
Hamas stands firmly against a negotiated peace in the Middle East. Article 13 says, “So-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement... Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam... There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility.”
Article 11 says, “The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [meaning ‘Holy Possession’] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it.”
Hamas stands for unending violence, war, and terror. To those Americans who have placed themselves in solidarity with Hamas, I have to ask, “Are you for peace or for never-ending jihad?”

Peace and Safety
By Hal Lindsey
Last week, President Trump announced his long-awaited peace plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood at the President’s side as he made the announcement. But Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, rejected the peace proposal before he had even seen it. “I will not have it recorded in my history,” he said, “that I sold Jerusalem,”
But the truth is, you can’t “sell” what was never yours.
The announcement left a lot of Jews and Christians confused over how the plan would deal with Jerusalem. Early in the announcement ceremony, President Trump said, “Under this vision, Jerusalem will remain Israel’s undivided — very important — undivided capital.”
Later he said that his plan would “provide a Palestinian capital in eastern Jerusalem where America will proudly open an embassy.”
So, which is it? Does the plan call for Jerusalem to be Israel’s “undivided” capital, or will part of Jerusalem be set aside to serve as the Palestinians’ capital? As always, it comes down to the meaning of the words. The US plan calls for the Palestinians to have a capital in an area of East Jerusalem now occupied entirely by Palestinians.
The area is inside Jerusalem’s city limits, but outside what we might call the new city wall. When I say “wall,” I’m not talking about the walls of the ancient city of Jerusalem. Yes, it is well outside those walls. But here I’m talking about the West Bank Barrier built by Israel to stop Palestinian terror attacks during the Second Intifada. A small part of what is technically Jerusalem lies outside the barrier. That’s the part that would go to the Palestinians.
A bigger question might be, “Do the specifics of the Trump Administration’s peace plan really matter?” And the answer is that they don’t seem to. Palestinian leaders rejected the idea before they knew anything about it. They refused to give input during the plan’s formation. They have shown repeatedly that they don’t really want a two-state solution. They want a one-state solution — the state of Palestine.
Cal Thomas wrote, “The Palestinian leadership doesn’t want to make peace with Israel. Their goal is to eliminate it.”
We see several examples of this, most notably the peace deal offered to Yasser Arafat in 2000. He was offered a deal that gave Palestinians Eastern Jerusalem and 98% of everything else they asked for. But Arafat rejected it.
Not surprisingly, the Arab League quickly rejected the Trump Administration’s new peace plan. They said it “does not satisfy the minimum of the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people.” They insist that the Palestinians be given a state based on pre-1967 borders.
But wait a minute. Before the Six-Day War in 1967, Jordon controlled Judea and Samaria (also known as “the West Bank”) and Egypt controlled Gaza. Why didn’t the Arab League insist that those two members give the Palestinians their own state back in 1967? Instead, they choose to fight a war with Israel that resulted in them losing those lands.
Another reason this peace plan seems dead on arrival is that there is no legitimate Palestinian leadership to deal with. Abbas was elected to a four-year term that ended in 2009. Being more than a decade late in holding promised elections tells us that the government is corrupt, chaotic, and illegitimate.
Israelis long for peace. Most Palestinians also long for peace. But while the people languish in dire poverty, Palestinian leaders are doing very well. They don’t want change unless that change means the utter destruction of Israel.

Damascus Going Nuclear?
4:00PM EST 2/3/2024 Ronald D. Mallett
Our local newspaper deeply buried its account of the Jan. 20 Israeli airstrike on Damascus on page 6. Apparently, the super-liberal journalists in our country (The Denver Post and all its subsidiaries are owned by The New York Times) have no knowledge of biblical prophecies, or they would have given the story front-page banner headlines.
To us Christian Bible lovers, the bombing incident signals a jump-start to a prophesied chain of events leading up to Armageddon. Israel is facing fanatical Islamic military attacks on four fronts: Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Gaza. A fifth is beginning to stir on the West Bank—all bankrolled by Iran, of course. As the Islamic noose tightens on the Israeli throat, that small country must employ new defensive operations to survive.
Is it not likely, given the fact Iran has developed diplomatic "friendships" with China and Russia, that Israel could one day be forced to consider the nuclear option as a viable defense? This is not a wild idea. Just this last week, I heard Perry Stone and one other of the many TV evangelists I follow state that only 1/3 of the biblical prophecies remain unfulfilled. This sounds reasonable, and I'm not a scholar of biblical proportions, but I believe the following nearly 3,000-year-old promise by Isaiah is among the very last of the old-guard, patriarchic prophecies.
A Prophecy Against Damascus
"See, Damascus will cease from being a city; it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram; they shall be as the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of Hosts. ... In that day his strong cities shall be as a forsaken bough and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the sons of Israel; and there shall be a desolation" (Isa. 17:1-3, 9).
Please note that verse 9 makes it clear that Israelites will be responsible for the complete desolation of the Damascus region, leaving it as just another barren expanse of weeds and desert thickets. Only nuclear weaponry could accomplish such an ending.
Consider this scenario. By nuking Damascus to effectively stop the offensive threat in the north, Israel also sends a strong signal to Tehran that it could be next. Appalled at this very real prospect, Iran and its sponsors will probably agree (along with the rest of the world) to not respond with nukes of their own. Instead, they collectively conspire to build a million-man army (also prophesied) to simply overwhelm the smallish Israeli forces in the manner of a tidal wave.

In so doing, they thus ignite the plethora of prophecies regarding Armageddon and Daniel's visions of a horrible end-times war greater than anything the earth has ever experienced. Then, we jump to the book of Revelation which details the entire end-times scenario as now beginning.
The only good thing about these scary possibilities is the corollary assumption that the end-times rapture and return of Jesus Christ to rule the world for a thousand years is also very near. The very real danger of takeovers by artificial intelligence and demonic threats of ruling the world in a soon-nuclear manner pale in significance when laid up against God's sure plan of rule by Jesus and an eternity with a loving Abba Father.

Iran closer than ever to weaponizing uranium, building nuclear bomb - report
Moreover, using its remaining stock of enriched uranium, the country could have in total enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
FEBRUARY 6, 2024 10:41 Updated: FEBRUARY 6, 2024 15:27
A new report from the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) is sounding the alarm on Iran’s closeness to going nuclear, upgrading its threat level to “Extreme Danger,” the highest of its six ratings, for the first time since the group began following the Iranian nuclear program in the 1990s.
Since 2022, the report says, Iran’s ‘breakout’ time has been zero— that is to say, Iran “has more than enough… highly enriched uranium (HEU) to directly fashion a nuclear explosive.” Uranium itself is not the only component required to fashion a nuclear weapon, though it is by far the hardest to come by. “If Iran wanted to further enrich its 60 percent enriched uranium up to 90 percent weapon-grade uranium (WGU)... it could do so quickly,” the report says.
“[Iran] can break out and produce enough weapon-grade enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon in a week,” it goes on, “using only a fraction of its 60 percent enriched uranium. This breakout could be difficult for inspectors to detect promptly, if Iran took steps to delay inspectors’ access.”
Moreover, using its remaining stock of enriched uranium, the country “could have in total enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month, and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for twelve.”
A weapon itself would take longer, but not by much
Although manufacturing the delivery system for the weapon itself could take longer, an accelerated program to develop a simple warhead delivered by ship or truck “could be accomplished in about six months,” signaling Iran’s nuclearization “either dramatically via an underground nuclear test or stealthily via leaks about its accomplishment.”
Moreover, Iran has been uncooperative with international nuclear inspectors for the last several years, the report noted, making it less likely that the world would notice such activity in time to prevent its success.

The sun’s magnetic poles are reversing and the Earth could be in danger
(OPINION) According to scientists, every 11 years, the sun goes through a cycle where its magnetic poles (North and South) reverse or switch places.
The sun’s poles last flipped in 2013, so the next event is on schedule to take place this year, according to Vox.com.
Scientists say there’s no need to panic. It’s not a sign of the apocalypse. You won’t even notice it when the flip happens. But it’s not the pole reversal itself that’s the main cause for concern.
With the sun’s surface growing more active, serious anomalies can happen. While that’s great news for amateur astronomers who are set to see some amazing solar fireworks through their telescopes, it could be bad news for power grids and communication satellites circling the Earth.
There’s already intense magnetic activity now happening on the sun’s surface that marks a kind of lead-in that comes before the poles’ reversal.
“We are indeed seeing the sun more active than it’s been in probably something like 20 years,” Paul Charbonneau, a solar physicist at the University of Montreal, told Vox.
It’s during these peak periods of solar activity that the sun’s fireworks grow larger.
“When the magnetic energy content of the sun is a lot larger, that’s when you tend to get more solar flares, more {coronal} mass ejections — more fun stuff,” Charbonneau said.
It’s these Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) that hurl charged matter out across the solar system like a giant shotgun, resulting in a potentially disruptive solar storm.
William Murtagh’s group at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintains a direct line with all the electric companies in the event of a geomagnetic eruption.
“When we see one of these large eruptions occurring in the sun, what we call Coronal Mass Ejection, coming towards Earth, we initiate this hotline call and we make communication with essentially the entire grid, owners and operators across the nation,” Murtagh, who serves as program coordinator at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, told CBN News.
Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey released a map in 2020 showing grid systems in the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard that are particularly vulnerable to solar storms.
Murtagh says electricity operators are now constantly assessing areas of vulnerability.
“If there’s vulnerability in certain equipment, maybe they can modify that equipment, the manufacturing of that equipment, to make it hardened, to make it better protected against a geomagnetic storm,” Murtagh said. “There are many different actions they can take to ensure that the grid stays up and running during these big geomagnetic storms.”

California Storm Live Updates: At Least Two Dead; Rivers Of Mud Rush Through Streets
By Jan Wesner Childs and Sean Breslinless than an hour ago
At least two people are dead in California as a powerful atmospheric river batters the state for a second day.
More than 10 inches of rain have fallen on some areas and wind gusts well over 100 mph have been reported in some higher elevations.
See the full forecast here.
The storm is causing life-threatening flooding and landslides that have closed roads and led to rescues and evacuations, especially in the greater Los Angeles area.
Here's what's happening right now:
(5:11 p.m. ET) Storm Ramps Up Avalanche Danger
Avalanche warnings are in place for much of the Sierra Nevada.
From the Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center: "Though snowfall rates peaked early last night, wind loading onto a snowpack with a weak base will continue to create very dangerous avalanche conditions today. Very large natural avalanches from above threaten the slopes below. Avoid being on or underneath steep terrain until the snowpack adjusts to the new load."
Here's what to know.
“These rivers of moisture in the atmosphere are not new and are vital to the West Coast as a major source of water and snowpack,” weather.com meteorologist Kait Parker says. “But 85 percent of flooding in this region is caused by atmospheric rivers.”
These kinds of storms are only expected to get more extreme as our atmosphere and oceans warm, pumping more moisture into the air.
Learn more from Parker here.
(4:15 p.m. ET) Still A Steady Rain
From weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman: While it’s not the type of heavy rain you’ll see in Florida in summer, rainfall rates in parts of L.A. County from near LAX to the San Fernando Valley are still from one-quarter to one-half inch per hour.
Even at those modest rates, this rain cannot soak into saturated ground. And those rates are high enough to trigger additional flooding, rockslides and debris flows.
A flash flood warning continues for the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood hills until 3 pm PT, or 7 p.m. ET.
(3:55 p.m. ET) Power Outages Drop Below 400,000

Swarm of Locusts Fill the Skies of Mexico; Residents Fear the End of the World
February 4, 2024 by SkyWatch Editor
It was on a cool Tuesday afternoon that the residents of Sinanché, a small town in southeastern Mexico, first heard the hissing. Looking out their windows, the leaves of the fruit trees in their back gardens had been licked clean, while chewed-on lemons, oranges, and hoya covered the grass. But not a single one of Sinanché’s some 3,100 residents had to look far for the culprit – or culprits, rather. All they had to do was look up. According to Mirror, Miles-long clouds of locusts have been blanketing the skies above the state of Yucatán this week, flying through shopping plazas, smacking into the windows of apartment complexes, and gobbling up anything green in local parks… (READ MORE)

Are We a Nation Out of Time?
Shane Idleman | Pastor, Westside Christian Fellowship | Updated: Jan 31, 2024
This article was taken from the sermon, “God Breaks You to Make You”, watch it here for more on this very important topic.
Whether it’s children twerking on TikTok as adults applaud (it’s not cool; it’s sick and perverted), drag queens reading at libraries, pedophiles being protected, enemies entering our borders, musicians worshiping Satan while millions applaud — or an array of other disasters — what’s it going to take to break us?
If you truly care for America, It’s time to look in the mirror and own it. At this stage of spiritual cancer, the only remedy is deep repentance and brokenness over sin.
Personally, I’m still holding on to God’s words here: “Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing…” (Joel 2:13-14).
A Proud Church is Not a Powerful Church
In these dire times, why do many Christians reflect the heart of the Laodecians rather than the power of the upper room? We have loud music but little worship, programs but no power, and big voices but little truth.
Where are the weepers and the worshippers like the Prophets who cried out to “return to the Lord,” and pleaded with the people to “walk humbly with your God”? Where are those who follow in the footsteps of Isaiah, who said, “I am undone,” or David, who thanked God for breaking the pride out of him?
Those are the voices God hears. He is no respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of principles, and the principle of brokenness is profound.
We are Going Nowhere Fast
It’s extremely hard watching our nation crumble from within, but do we honestly think that God is pleased with arrogant memes, angry tweets, or bombastic tirades? I can assure you that He is not … something needs to change. We are going nowhere fast.
If we don’t have love, which is humble, we have nothing (cf. 1 Cor. 13). Boldness without humility will get us nowhere as our nation continues to spiral out of control.
As Victor Davis Hansen wisely said: “Our descent is self-induced; it is not a symptom of a foreign attack or subterfuge. Our erosion is not the result of poverty and want, but of leisure and excess.”
In the same way that Israel grew fat with food and “abandoned the God who made them and rejected the Rock their Savior” (Deut. 32:15), America is making the same mistake. Our pride has made us fat and full of ourselves. This is why fasting is critical: it starves the flesh in order to be filled with the Spirit. (If you need help in this area, my fasting books are available as free downloads here.)
Repentance, Not Remington
“When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires … when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us” (Oswald Chambers).
I believe that this is EXACTLY what God is doing today. Salvation is not coming on Air Force One. God is trying to wake us up so we draw closer to Him. When we are desperate, God finally has our attention.
Most don’t seek the Lord until there is pressure: “Only when our hand is forced do we yield — when our back is to the wall and our fleshly attempts at deliverance are all washed away” (Michael Catt). But surprisingly, our nation's crisis is not driving us to our knees but to the gun store. We’re not using heavenly ammunition (2 Cor. 10:4), but trusting in Smith & Wesson.
The Blessing of Brokenness
I’ll never forget the day I read the following quote by A.W. Tozer over two decades ago: “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.”
I was going through a very difficult season and I soon realized that God was breaking me down to build me up. I was at a turning point: I could become bitter and resentful or humble myself and grow from the experience.
And this is where the majority of Christians find themselves today: Instead of getting better, we become bitter. Instead of humbling ourselves, we become more arrogant. Instead of emptying ourselves to be filled with the Spirit, we are full of pride and selfish ambition. THIS MUST CHANGE!
The Shepherd of the Shattered
But be encouraged, broken crowns still color. God is the Shepherd of the shattered and the rebuilder of the broken. God breaks us to rebuild us but we must humble ourselves so the Potter can shape the clay, or an eleven-day journey through the wilderness may take us forty years (cf. Joshua 5:6).
We must let our pain crucify our pride. He rebuilds the broken, elevates the humble, and restores the wounded. We can rebuild the breach and strengthen what remains but we must pray this today: "O God, take me, break me, and make me."

Hamas reestablishing itself in Gaza City after IDF redeployment
The jihadist group is also demanding the release of terrorists who took part in the Oct. 7 Hamas invasion of southern Israel.
By Joshua Marks | Feb 4, 2024 at 12:00 pm | Topics
Hamas is attempting to reestablish its governing capabilities in areas of the Gaza Strip from which Israeli forces have withdrawn, deploying police officers and paying partial salaries to civil servants.
Four Gaza City residents told the Associated Press that the terrorist group has dispatched both uniformed and plainclothes officers near the police headquarters and other government offices, as well as the Shifa Hospital, which Israel exposed in November of last year as a Hamas command center used to hold hostages.

Israeli ground forces entered the Gaza Strip on Oct. 27, 2023 following weeks of air strikes in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on southern Israel in which 1,200 people were murdered, thousands more wounded and 253 taken captive.
One of Jerusalem’s stated war goals is the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capacities in Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced in mid-January the end of heavy combat in the northern Gaza Strip, on the same day that that the military’s largest regular-service armored division exited the Gaza Strip for rest and training, leaving three other divisions fighting Hamas.
While the Israeli military has continued intensive operations in the southern Gaza Strip centered around the Hamas stronghold of Khan Yunis, the reduction in boots on the ground elsewhere in the Strip has created an opening for Hamas to attempt to reassert some sort of control over the coastal enclave it has ruled since 2007.
This situation has led to Israeli airstrikes in the area of the makeshift offices in Gaza City where the return of some civil servants were seen.
“In recent days, Israeli forces renewed the attacks in the western and northwestern parts of Gaza City, including in the areas where salaries were distributed,” the sources told AP.
The IDF is also expected to increase troop activity in northern Gaza in the coming weeks to try to quell the Hamas resurgence.

Israel’s Army Radio reported that the military is planning to carry out extensive raids due to increased activity by the terror group in northern Gaza.
According to Israeli military estimates, there are about 2,000 Hamas terrorists in the north (the rest were killed or escaped), who are completely disconnected from the leadership in the south.
“The return of the police marks an attempt to restore order in the devastated city after the Israeli forces withdrew from northern Gaza last month,” a Hamas official told AP.
Gallant said last week that 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed and another 10,000 wounded nearly four months into the war, adding that the Khan Yunis Brigade had been dismantled.
Many Hamas fighters have also been captured by Israeli forces on and after Oct. 7. Before the attack, Hamas was estimated to have a fighting force in Gaza of some 30,000 to 40,000 terrorists.
“We are achieving our missions in Khan Yunis, and we will also reach Rafah and eliminate terror elements that threaten us,” said Gallant.
Israeli forces press offensive in Khan Yunis
Israeli forces continued to press their offensive in Khan Yunis, the IDF said on Sunday morning.
Khan Yunis, Gaza’s second-largest city, is regarded as a personal stronghold of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Over the past day, members of the IDF’s Paratroopers Brigade raided a multi-story building used as a command center by the head of Hamas’s Khan Yunis Brigade. Soldiers found Kalashnikovs, ammunition, military equipment and technological gear, according to the IDF.
The soldiers also eliminated several terrorists in close-quarters combat.
In northern Gaza, the 401st Brigade eliminated terrorists and uncovered Kalashnikov rifles, pistols, military equipment, ammunition and grenades.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force struck numerous Hamas targets across the Strip, including rocket launch sites.
Hamas seeks release of Oct. 7 terrorists in hostage deal
Hamas is demanding that Israel free terrorists who participated in the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre as part of any hostage deal, Hebrew media reported on Saturday.
The Gaza-based terrorist group is examining the framework of an agreement negotiated in Paris on Jan. 28 by Israeli, American, Qatari and Egyptian interlocutors. The agreement would see the release of the 136 remaining captives (including some believed to be dead) taken during the bloody assault on southern Israel in exchange for an extended ceasefire and other concessions.
Additional demands expected to be presented by Hamas in Cairo include the release of only one Israeli abductee per day and four stages instead of the three previously reported. In the first stage, elderly men and women will be freed; the second stage will see female soldiers returned; the third stage, young men and soldiers; and the fourth and final phase the return of bodies.
According to the Egyptians, Hamas also does not want to give Israel a list of the abductees still in Gaza, either dead or alive.
Fifty percent of Israelis are opposed to a hostage deal that would see an extended pause in fighting in Gaza and the release of thousands of Palestinian terrorists, according to a snap poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 12 last week.
Just 35% overall support the terms of the potential agreement, with the rest undecided.
Among Netanyahu coalition voters, only 12% support the deal compared to 75% against, while among opposition-bloc voters, 53% are in favor versus 32% opposing.
Permanent ceasefire
Despite news reports that a Hamas delegation led by Qatar-based political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh visited Cairo last week for talks on the Paris outline, the trip was postponed as the terrorist group works on additional comments and clauses it will present to Egyptian and Qatari mediators in the coming days, according to Channel 13.
Cairo and Doha are reportedly pressuring Hamas to reach a deal in the next two weeks, and negotiations are expected to accelerate in that regard. Internal friction between Haniyeh and Sinwar, who runs Hamas in Gaza, has also surfaced, with the The Wall Street Journal reporting that Sinwar is more inclined to accept an initial six-week ceasefire (40 days), while the political bureau leadership want to negotiate a permanent halt to fighting.
According to Israel’s Channel 13, Egyptian and Qatari mediators have told Hamas that the Biden administration is assuring them that there will not be a return to combat after the deal. Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, prime minister and foreign minister of Qatar, returned to Doha from a visit to Washington on Saturday.
Soldier slain in Gaza
The IDF’s death toll since the start of Gaza ground operations on Oct. 27 has risen to 225 with the announcement on Sunday morning that Sgt. First Class (res.) Shimon Yehoshua Asulin, a 24-year-old resident of Beit Shemesh, was killed in action in southern Gaza on Saturday.
We are heartbroken to report on the death of an additional IDF soldier: Sergeant First Class (res.) Shimon Yehoshua Asulin (24) was killed in #Gaza during this current operation against #Hamas terrorists. May the memory and heroism of this brave IDF soldier forever be a blessing.… pic.twitter.com/VZdp8tobZr

Speaking to the press from Lebanon, Osama Hamdan demands Jerusalem and full IDF withdrawal from Gaza while blaming 'explicit obstinacy' from Israel
i24NEWS
February 04, 2024, 2:34 AMSenior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, held a news conference in Lebanon on Saturday night, saying there was "no deal yet" but a framework and openness to discuss, though blaming Israel for "obstinacy."
Hamas "received the proposed general framework that was discussed at the Paris Conference," Hamdan reiterated that it was being studied.
However, he emphasized that "the premise" of negotiations should be that it "will lead to a complete end" of aggression against Palestinians.
The complete list of demands were listed as the Israeli military's full withdrawal from Gaza, lifting of a blockade imposed on the enclave, reconstructing the area and providing humanitarian aid, a prisoner for hostage deal, and a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Hamdan then called on countries and people to "urgently intervene and pressure" Israel and the United States to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, contrary to reports that Hamas itself was stealing or blocking supplies from reaching civilians.
"The suspension of funding to UNRWA by some countries based on misleading and baseless Zionist allegations is an irresponsible step," Hamdan commented on European countries, the United States, Australia and others suspending contributions to the United Nations aid agency for Palestinians based on findings that the organization's employees participated in the Hamas-led October 7 attack.
Hamdan returned to the main question on the existence of a deal, by saying "an explicit obstinacy spoken of by Netanyahu and his government officials" was what held up the negotiations, and not Hamas.
"What has been presented is a framework agreement which requires discussion and dialogue because all its details are not available. Therefore, how can one talk about a deal?" he concluded.

Poking God In The Eye - Biden Looks At Options For Palestinian State
The Biden administration is bucking decades of U.S. foreign policy by considering a plan to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state, despite deep opposition to the move within Israel.
Both Axios and The New York Times reported on Wednesday about this potential major shift in the American approach towards Palestinian statehood, which hitherto has emphasized direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
According to the Axios report, which cites two U.S. officials familiar with the situation, Secretary of State Antony Blinken requested a review of policy options for the recognition of a Palestinian state after Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza concludes.
In the months since the Oct. 7 terrorist assault on southern Israel, the Biden administration has been pushing for Palestinian statehood as part of a major normalization pact and regional security initiative between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The Palestinian issue was not reportedly seen as a major obstacle to a Jerusalem-Riyadh detente before the Hamas attack, but the Biden administration’s stance has apparently changed and the Saudis are emphasizing a pathway to a Palestinian state as a precondition for normalization.
A senior U.S. official told Axios that some inside the Biden administration believe that unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state should be the first step in talks to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead of the last.
This goes against the doctrine of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sees increasing relations with the wider Arab world as the key to solving the Palestinian issue, as exemplified by the 2020 Abraham Accords, which saw Israel establish diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan in a deal brokered by the Trump administration.
Netanyahu’s right-wing and religious coalition is firmly against establishing a Palestinian state.
There is also widespread opposition among the Israeli public to the creation of a Palestinian state.
According to the most recent “Peace Index” survey released by Tel Aviv University last week, when asked whether they support the creation of a “Palestinian” state alongside Israel, 66% of Jewish respondents said they opposed such a move, while 27% expressed support for the creation of a “Palestine.”
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote that the Biden push to possibly recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip “would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.”
He continued, “Biden administration officials have been consulting experts inside and outside the U.S. government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take.”
According to Friedman, the “Biden doctrine for the Middle East” would also include a strong stance against Iran, including a military response against Iranian terror proxies in the region in retaliation for the killing of three U.S. soldiers at a base in Jordan in a drone attack. It would also involve a “vastly expanded” U.S. security alliance with Saudi Arabia that would include Israel-Saudi normalization.
Furthermore, Axios reported on several options the Biden administration could take, including bilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, withdrawing its veto power against the United Nations Security Council admitting “Palestine” as a full U.N. member state, and urging other countries to recognize a Palestinian state. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Monday that the U.K. was considering recognizing a Palestinian state.

U.S. strikes more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria in initial barrage of retaliatory attacks
The military action is a significant escalation in Washington’s bid to deter the growing threat from Iran-backed groups across the Middle East.
Feb. 2, 2024, 9:22 PM UTC / Updated Feb. 2, 2024, 10:25 PM UTC
By Dan De Luce and Mosheh Gains
WASHINGTON — The United States launched attacks against Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria on Friday, its first retaliatory strikes for the killing of three American soldiers in Jordan last weekend, according to an official at the Department of Defense.
U.S. military forces struck more than 85 targets, hitting facilities such as command and control operations, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, and drone storage sites, according to the U.S. Central Command.
"Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing," President Joe Biden said in a statement. "The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond."
The military action is a significant escalation in Washington's bid to deter the growing threat from Iran-backed groups across the Middle East — a step fraught with risk abroad and at home, as Biden seeks to prevent the Israel-Hamas war from spiraling into a wider conflict while working to secure his re-election.
The Biden administration had made clear that the U.S. would take military action after the drone attack by Iran-backed militants at a remote U.S. base in Jordan, in which more than 40 others were wounded. Biden attended the dignified return of the three slain U.S. soldiers at Dover Air Force Base earlier Friday.
Syrian state television reported that the strikes killed and wounded people, but it did not specify an exact number of casualties.
Before the strikes, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had promised a “multitier response” and officials told NBC News that Biden settled on a plan expected to unfold over multiple days, possibly weeks. American forces are expected to hit targets in different countries outside Iran, U.S. officials said.
Follow for live updates
Even as Biden and his deputies vowed to retaliate, they have added the caveat that Washington does not seek a war with Iran or a wider conflict in the region, a sentiment that was reiterated in the president's statement on Friday. Their calibrated statements appeared to indicate that it was unlikely the reprisal strikes would hit targets inside Iran itself.
“We will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in a region, but we will take all necessary actions to defend the United States, our interests and our people,” Austin told reporters at a Pentagon news conference Thursday.
Iran has denied involvement in the drone attack and said it, too, does not seek a direct confrontation with the U.S.
After previous attacks by Tehran-backed groups in Iraq and Syria that wounded but did not kill some American troops, Biden ordered airstrikes that targeted the militants' weapons depots and other sites. But the pace of rocket and drone attacks dramatically increased after the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip.
There have been more than 160 attacks on U.S. forces by Iran-backed groups since Oct. 7, according to the Pentagon.
Meanwhile, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with drones and missiles, vowing to continue until Israel halts its military campaign in Gaza.
U.S. Navy warships have shot down dozens of the Houthi drones and missiles but some have hit commercial vessels, prompting a slew of major shipping companies to shift cargo onto other, longer routes. In recent weeks, the U.S. military also carried out strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen, hitting launch sites and command centers.
It’s unclear if the Biden administration will choose to go after Iranian ships suspected of assisting the Houthis to find targets with electronic intelligence.
The last time the U.S. military targeted an Iranian ship was in 1988, when the Navy launched retaliatory attacks in the Persian Gulf after an American vessel was hit by a mine planted by Iran.
Tehran has denied direct involvement in the Jordan incident but has warned that it will respond to any threat from the U.S.
“We will not start any war but, if anyone wants to bully us, they will receive a strong response,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said in a televised speech Friday.
“We hear threats coming from American officials, we tell them that they have already tested us and we now know one another, no threat will be left unanswered,” the chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami, said Wednesday.

Japanese bank tanks over 20% after flagging losses tied to U.S. commercial property
Published Thu, Feb 1 20244:06 AM ESTUpdated Thu, Feb 1 20245:03 AM EST

The Tokyo-based commercial lender said it now expects to post a net loss of 28 billion yen for the fiscal year ending Mar. 31.
Aozora shares sank by as much as 21.5% to 2,557 yen (about $17.41), its lowest closing level since May 31.
Japan's Nikkei 225 benchmark closed down 0.8% Thursday.
Aozora said it expects the U.S. office market to only stabilize "in another year or two."
Shares of Aozora Bank
tumbled to their lowest level in eight months Thursday after the Japanese bank warned of a fiscal-year net loss due to its exposure to U.S. office loans.
The Tokyo-based commercial lender said it now expects to post a net loss of 28 billion Japanese yen ($191 million) for the fiscal year ending Mar. 31, a swing from its previous forecast for a net profit of 24 billion yen.
Aozora shares sank by as much as 21.5% to 2,557 yen (about $17.41), its lowest closing level since May 31. In comparison, Japan's Nikkei 225
benchmark closed down 0.8% Thursday.

Aozora Bank shares
"Due to higher U.S. interest rates and a shift to remote work accelerated by COVID-19, the U.S. office market continues to face adverse conditions combined with extremely low liquidity," the bank said in a statement on Thursday.
"While price discovery is anticipated to eventually improve with a gradual increase in office transactions on the back of an expected return-to-office movement as well as a pause in the rise in U.S. interest rates, our view is that it may take another year or two for the market to stabilize," the bank added.
Aozora's announcement came shortly after U.S. regional bank New York Community Bancorp
announced a surprise net loss of $252 million for the fourth quarter, slashing its dividend and saying it "[built] reserves during the quarter to address weakness in the office sector" — renewing some fears of the strength of U.S. regional banks, which were embroiled in a liquidity crisis last year.
New York Community Bancorp said this was in response to its purchase of the assets of Signature Bank, one of the regional banks that collapsed in last year's crisis. That purchase raised their total assets to $100 billion, placing them in a category that subjects the bank to more stringent liquidity standards.

What Do Undocumented Migrants, the Border States of Florida and Texas and the Crashing Value of Commercial Real Estate Have to Do With Catastrophic Risk to Your Financial Assets? A Lot…
February 02, 2024
Image Credit: On The World Map
By Stan Szymanski
The mayors of the largest cities are now crying ‘uncle’ as the cities and metropolitan areas of New York, Chicago and more are starting to collapse under the weight of an international confidence game orchestrated by the powers that be. Carried out by Border States and Governors, with a helping hand from the UN (and IOM) they use a lot of US taxpayer dollars (the US funds 28% of the UN budget) to fund the movement of immigrants from one country and even continent, to the US.
My impression is, while these mayors of large US cities cry foul, they are in fact playing the part in this enterprise that they have been given. One of the main effects of the acceptance (and not rejection) of these multitudes is the crippling effect it is having on the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) market. Higher interest rates, the effects of Covid-19 and people working from home also play a part in the problems of the current CRE market. But the impact of the border crisis on CRE is broad and considerable.
…’New York City has been grappling with an influx of asylum seekers for the past 18 months, but city leaders are still approaching the crisis as if it were an emergency. It’s an emergency that the commercial real estate industry is largely sidelined (emphasis added) for, awaiting direction from public officials. … Mayor Eric Adams has consistently warned that a continued surge of migrants will “destroy” New York City, forcing him to make painful budget cuts. (Commercial Observer)
Perhaps it was a ‘Freudian Slip’ that Mayor Adams used the word ‘destroy’ when talking about the impact of the immigrants on NYC. But it most certainly is destruction that is happening in the largest cities of America due to the exporting of the crisis from the US borders into the city limits of Gotham and more. As the article stated-Commercial Real Estate (CRE) is sidelined by the migrant crisis. In my point of view, the ‘sidelining’ is more than temporary and it purposeful and by design.
How did all these ‘migrants’ get from wherever they crossed into the US at and all the other states and major cities in America? A lot of it was facilitated by United States governors…
Who can forget Desantis facillitating the safe passage of large numbers of the aliens out of Florida (‘Desantis Vows Florida Will Transport More Migrants to Other States’)?
Of course the MSM (Main Stream Media) was all about using the ‘controversy’ to foment more of a divide of the country
(After Republicans Escalate Bussing Scheme, White House Condemns Chaos). This of course helps to make one half of the country be at odds with the other half over an issue that is, for all intents and purposes, a smoke screen to fool the general populace.
In reality, was the real issue a political scrap, or was it multiple levels of deception used to accomplish the goal of moving a population of undocumented, generally military age men of unknown background and moral character into the largest metropolitan areas of these United States?

—————————————-
Who can forget the mayor of Chicago decrying the burden of the busses of immigrants coming from Texas (Chicago Mayor Says Abbot Causing ‘Chaos’ by Sending Migrant Busses)? If you read this article IMHO, you will see that (Chicago Mayor) Brandon Johnson is not upset that the invading force is there; he is upset that Abbot just didn’t coordinate it with him and the powers that be first and give him at least a few days to prepare for them:
…’Johnson accused Abbott of being “afraid and mad” at the migrant situation at the southern border and acknowledged the difficulty Abbott faces. The problem, Johnson said, is the lack of coordination between Abbott and the officials running the cities to which he is sending the migrants.’…(Yahoo News)
In New York, Mayor Eric Adams issued ‘Emergency Executive Order 538’. Even though Politico opined that it was to restrict the migrant bussing from Texas to NYC, it was nothing of the sort. I am not a lawyer (and this is not any type of legal advice)-Executive Order 538 issued by Mayor Adams was basically written to -facilitate- the receipt of said immigrants-not to repel them or Ellis Island forbid-deport them.
In fact Executive Order 538 asks the transporters of said immigrant to tell the city when they are coming and to just give them a few days of notice and a little information (are they men, women or children and how many). …’(a) Notification. Any such operator must provide notice of the anticipated date and time of arrival of their charter bus in New York City and the information required by paragraph (b) of this section to the Commissioner of Emergency Management or their designee (“the Commissioner”) by emailing busnotices@oem.nyc.gov at least 32 hours in advance of such anticipated date and time of arrival, except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section.’…(from Mayor Adams ‘Executive Order 538’)
And if the transporter wants immunity from providing even that little bit of information, why they can ask NYC for an -exemption- (Section 2 (e)) from providing even that much information about the new -guests- in The Big Apple.
The mayors of the biggest cities are not, IMHO, refuting or refusing the hordes of undocumented foreigners. They are complying with deliveries of human cargo that were arranged by Republican governors of two border states. Are other states and governors involved?
Getting back to the commercial real estate issue: The border crisis is manifesting its contribution to the speedy decay of the property values of the biggest buildings in our biggest cities. Less than two weeks ago I wrote about the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) debacle with the NYC Blackrock property. Do you really think that the people who rent space in Billion dollar properties can’t read the tea leaves? What tenant is going to stick around once people are employed as ‘pooper-scoopers’ to service the area outside the front door of the Billion dollar property?
In ‘SL Green, RXR’s Worldwide Plaza value cut by $500M’, the authors state that Worldwide Plaza underpins a $940 Million loan:
…’SL Green and RXR Realty’s Worldwide Plaza could find themselves in a world of hurt if two of its biggest tenants jump ship.
Wall Street securities firm Evercore ISI recently reported an implied value for the Midtown Manhattan complex of $1.2 billion, down nearly a third from $1.7 billion in 2017, according to Crain’s. The estimated valuation breaks down to $600 per square foot.’…(The Real Deal)
One of the building tenants at Worldwide Plaza is Japanese financial firm, Nomura who is also considering its options.
How bad is the sink hole that is known as CRE? Foreign banks are more forthcoming with the valuation of their American CRE holdings than their U.S. counterparts, IMHO. In ‘Second Domino Drops in Commercial Real Estate Market as Japanese Bank Slashes Value of Its American Office Holdings’ author Russell Payne states:
…’Signs of a long-predicted commercial real estate crisis are beginning to bubble up as Aozora Bank, the 16th largest bank in Japan, became the second bank in two days to warn of growing losses from their portfolios of American office buildings. … For Aozora, loans for American office buildings accounted for about 6.6 percent of its portfolio, or around $1.89 billion. The bank said that 21 loans in their portfolio, accounting for $719 million, were not performing (emphasis added).’ …(The New York Sun)
More than 1/3 of the loans in Aozoras’ portfolio of US CRE are-not performing-.
What is a ‘non-performing’ loan you ask?
…’A nonperforming loan (NPL) is a loan that is in default due to the fact that the borrower has not made the scheduled payments for a specified period. Although the exact elements of nonperforming status can vary depending on the specific loan's terms, "no payment" is usually defined as zero payments of either principal or interest.’… (Investopedia)
So that means that 38% of Aozora’s American Commercial properties in their portfolio are not paying the interest payments on the loans that they have ($719 Mill / $1.89 Bill = .38)!!! This, in my modest estimation, cannot be the only bank in the world that has a portfolio of non-performing commercial real estate loans. I believe that many banks are holding a big bag of virtually unmarketable dookie (?) officially known as big city Commercial Real Estate.
Those many, many, many banks are holding the bag. And many, many, many custodians of your money (pensions, retirement and investment accounts) are holding the banks that are holding the bag.
Drops in valuation of this kind of magnitude last happened in residential real estate during/after the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. The key word is -after-… In contrast, the Dow is the highest it has ever been while it is now the Commercial Real Estate that is cratering. So it looks like we are nowhere near a bottom for the unfolding breakdown of CRE and the DJIA has not even caught so much as a cold…yet.
Andy Schectman on a recent episode of Liberty and Finance made a case that Billionaires are selling large amounts of stock-Bezos (Amazon) is selling. Zuckerberg (Facebook) is selling. Crain’s Chicago Business reports that Discover CFO sells nearly all his company stock.
The truth is that the Billionaires -can- read the signs of the times. The question is; Can you see the signs (this is not financial advice)?
The issue of the undocumented hoards, helped by border states that are roundaboutly financed with US taxpayer money channeled through the UN and IOM (The International Organization for Migration) are negatively affecting the values of CRE in our major cities and beyond. The problem is that this dissolution of value in CRE is going beyond just the commercial properties themselves. It is going to affect the pensions, defined benefit, 401(k), 403(b) and investments that have ownership in this systemically important part of our economy. That means it is going to negatively affect virtually everyone invested in these instruments. That means that without taking evasive action-you, your family and your neighbors will see a terrible drop in the value of your financial assets as they are just ground down to the point of being a welcome mat for Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). We can then expect complete control of your life and the ruination of your dreams and your posterity. This is the judgement of God on America. He is the only one truly worth trusting.
What can one do? Consider investing in -real- things that you can buy, hold and take possession of: Precious metals, food, water (filtration, purification and storage), shelter, energy (solar, generators etc.), and protection (being where a lot of people aren’t might be a good start). (This is not advice of any kind. Please consult a professional in the area of your need or interest).
This commercial real estate problem has the capability to become a ‘bigger short’ than the 2008 ‘Big Short’ described in the 2015 movie (The Big Short). Will you see this for what it is and get out of the way before it happens or will you still be licking your wounds when the movie comes out next time (if there is a next time)?

Forget China, We Can’t Even Beat the Houthis
The US no longer has the capability or credibility to conduct large-scale amphibious operations.
Gary Anderson February 1, 2024 3 minutes read
Forget China, the new American way of war isn’t working against Yemen’s Houthis.
Striking missile and killer drone launching sites as well as terrorist headquarters with our own missiles and drones seems like a relatively bloodless way to wage war — at least on the part of the shooter — but it is increasingly ineffective.
American presidents love such approaches. It makes them look decisive without endangering their troops’ lives. However, the world’s bad guys quickly figured out that war from thousands of feet up can be countered.
Yemen’s Houthis have been the latest to make American-style push-button war look ineffectual. Western shipping is increasingly being routed away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal, and prices in the US and Europe are already rising.
The US Navy used to have a solution for this kind of dilemma called amphibious warfare, but our admirals, aided by a wrong-headed Marine Corps commandant, walked away from that capability.
Amphibious Capabilities
It would take the equivalent of a Marine Corps division to conduct a large-scale raid in southwestern Yemen capable of cleansing the area of the missile and drone launch sites that have made the Bab-el-Mandeb a shooting gallery.
Such an operation would require two Marine Expeditionary Brigades’ worth of military transport ships. For years, the Marine Corps insisted that figure was necessary to conduct a large-scale amphibious operation such as Inchon in Korea or Guadalcanal in World War II.
The Navy no longer has that capability, as Marine Corps Lieutenant General Karsten Heckl recently pointed out.
What Heckl did not say was that General David Berger, the former Commandant of the Marine Corps, released the Navy from that long-standing two Marine Expeditionary Brigade requirement in 2019.
The aircraft carrier and submarine admirals who compete to run the Navy happily complied. By late in his tenure, even Berger was forced to admit that the Navy/Marine Corps team could not even do an evacuation mission in Sudan or a humanitarian mission in Turkey due to lack of adequate shipping in those vicinities.
Eliminating the Houthi Threat
Eliminating the Houthi threat of missiles and drones would require ground assault troops to locate the underground sanctuaries that allow the launchers to be rolled out, fired quickly, and re-hidden just as quickly.
A large-scale amphibious raid to methodically find and eliminate these facilities would likely mean at least two months of sustained combat by a division-sized force.
Aside from the shipping required to land and maintain such a force, the troops involved would need assault bridging, tanks, and volumes of artillery that the Marine Corps no longer has.
It has taken a few years for the chickens to come home to roost, but the bottom line is that the US no longer has the capability or credibility to conduct large-scale amphibious operations.
Rebuilding the Marine Corps Combat Capability
The Houthis are the first to benefit from this windfall, but others are sure to follow.
The Iranians can use the tactics of the Houthis to close the Strait of Hormuz with relative impunity, and now any malign actor can close a critical sea lane such as the Malacca Strait at the cost of relatively cheap missiles and drones.
As General Heckl points out, it will take a major shipbuilding effort to repair the amphibious ships we still have, let alone build new ones. That is exacerbated by the ground combat capabilities that Berger threw away to buy anti-ship missiles.
This has reduced the US Marine Corps’ combat capability to the level of the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas. If we ever decide to close the Caribbean Sea or the Saint Lawrence Seaway to international shipping, we will be all set.
Otherwise, Janis Joplin was right: “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

Migrants Who Beat NYPD Cops Released With No Bail, Given Free Tickets To California Under Fake Names
February 2, 2024 Via Zero Hedge
Four out of five illegal migrants who were caught on camera attacking two NYPD cops in Times Square were arrested, set free on no bail, and then given free bus tickets to California.
Following their release, a smirking Johan Boada, 22, could be seen giving a double middle finger to media covering the situation.

When asked if he should be deported, Gov. Kathy Hochul said: “I think that’s actually something that should be looked at,” adding “I mean, if someone commits a crime against a police officer in the state of New York and they’re not here legally, it’s definitely worth checking into.”
“These are law enforcement officers who should never under any circumstances be subjected to physical assault,” Hochul added. “It’s wrong on all accounts and I’m looking to judges and prosecutors to do the right thing.”
Mayor Eric Adams suggested that lawmakers need to “reexamine” laws that prevent deportation.
“Those migrants who are here because they want to be part of the American dream, we say ‘Yes’ to that,” said Adams. “But those who are breaking our laws, we need to reexamine the laws that don’t allow us to deport them because they are doing violent acts. We cannot create an atmosphere where you’re going to bring violence in our city,” the NY Post reports.
…however the Post is now reporting that “Cops believe the group hopped on a bus bound for California on Wednesday after giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of the city.”
Interesting to see what it takes to motivate city officials to act…

Magnitude-5.1 earthquake jolts southern Plains
By Social Links for Andrew Wulfeck, FOX Weather Published Feb. 3, 2024, 2:58 a.m. ET
An earthquake that was estimated to be a magnitude 5.1 shook communities across at least five states on Friday evening.
According to data from the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred around 11:30 p.m. local time and was centered near the town of Prague in central Oklahoma.
Several people took to social media after the event and described hearing cracking walls and even a loud boom.
There were no immediate reports of damage in the first hours after the quake, but the USGS warned that the threat of aftershocks would continue for some time.
A series of earthquakes rattled the Oklahoma City metro less than a month ago, with the most significant being a magnitude-4.4.
Based on initial estimates, Friday’s quake ranked among the top four greatest events to impact the Sooner State since 1900.
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the state in 2016 caused moderate damage in north-central Oklahoma, and studies tied the event to wastewater injection from oil and gas production.
The USGS has previously noted that many quakes throughout the southern Plains have been tied to human activities.
The agency said fracking – the process of injecting water, sand or chemicals into the ground in order to break up the bedrock to reach oil and gas reserves – can trigger quakes and impact groundwater.
It is still too early to determine whether human activities played a role in the most recent quake.

Tucker Carlson Being Spotted in Moscow Sparks Frenzied Speculation
Published Feb 04, 2024 at 4:06 AM EST
Updated Feb 04, 2024 at 5:49 PM EST
The reported appearance of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in the Russian capital has sparked intense speculation over the purpose of the conservative media personality's visit to Moscow.
Carlson arrived in Moscow on February 1, and was spotted attending the Bolshoi Theater in the capital, according to Russian outlet Mash.
Questions quickly swirled over why the TV anchor would have traveled to Moscow, and whether he intended to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin during the visit.
"Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin," Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
"We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!" she wrote.
Referencing Greene's comments on Sunday, Russia's state-backed news agency, Tass, reported that Kremlin press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, had said in 2023 that the world would have to "wait and see" whether Putin would speak with Carlson.
Carlson said in late September 2023 that he had attempted to interview the Russian leader, but that the U.S. government had blocked the move. "I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me," Carlson told Swiss magazine, Die Weltwoche.
Newsweek has reached out to Carlson for comment via email.
Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April 2023, and has since set up his own streaming service and hosted shows on social media.
Carlson has become a popular figure among Russian state media commentators, and has been accused of echoing Russian state propaganda.
Shortly after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, progressive outlet Mother Jones published what it said was a Kremlin memo urging state-linked outlets to use more footage of Carlson in their broadcasts.
"It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally," one Russian-language memo said, according to Mother Jones.
Margarita Simonyan, a top Kremlin propagandist who heads up the Russian state-controlled broadcaster RT, said in August 2023 that Carlson had requested an interview with the Kremlin chief, adding the former Fox News host was "doing a great job."
Russian state television promoted Carlson's new content in September 2023, although the anchor told the Financial Times that he "had never seen this," adding: "I have no clue what it's about."

41 Bank Closings During One Week Of January A Symptom Of Something Deadly & Dangerous Dead Ahead - All-Out, Full Blown Collapse Will Leave The American People Despairing And Dying
By Stefan Stanford - Live Free Or Die - All News Pipeline February 3, 2024
The story over at the Daily Mail (saved here at Archive) on Thursday asked a great question in reference to their title: "What will you do if your bank closes?" With that full story title being "US Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citizen, Chase and PNC are shutting hundreds of branches a year - here is what to do if your bank closes," we're warned that in the last 10 years, American banks have shuttered 13,000 branches for good, including the fact that in the month of January of 2024, 41 closures were announced in a single week and among those affected were nine US Bank locations.
And while the shuttering of individual bank branches is a much different 'bear' than entire banks failing, we're reminded in this December of 2023 story by MN Gordon of the Economic Prism that three out of the biggest four bank failures in US history happened in 2023, signifying a worsening of the entire system and while most Americans believe if their bank somehow gets wiped out, they'll be able to get their money back from the FDIC, as Gordon warned us within that story, "In a real panic, FDIC reserves would be vaporized in less than a day."
With the US govt under Joe Biden continuing to create more worthless money, while racking up more and more debt for future generations of Americans, just more proof these psychopaths in Washington DC couldn't give a damn about the American people who pay their salaries, this new story by Michael Snyder over at the Economic Collapse Blog warns that homelessness in America is up a whopping 48% since 2015 while the number of Americans laid off in 2023 jumped 98% compared to the year before, proving there is a very real bloodbath going on right now and 'the American People' are the ones doing the hemorrhaging.
And as we learn in this new story over at the website 100% Fed Up, one reason the warning lights are flashing bright red is the fact that the emergency FED program that put a stop to that 'great banking collapse' back in March and April of 2023 is coming to an end on March 11th of 2024.
With the Bank Term Funding Program being an emergency lending program created by the Federal Reserve to provide emergency liquidity to US banks back in 2023, it doesn't take too much of an imagination to see what could happen when all of that 'emergency' money suddenly dries up in just 5 weeks. From that 100% Fed Up story before we continue.:
Remember the Banking Crisis of 2023?
Back in March/April of last year, when 4 banks failed all within a few weeks of each other?
Well, it turns out what helped stop that contagion from spreading was something known as the Bank Term Funding Program.
Don't worry, you don't need to be a banker or expert economist to understand this, I'll make it simple for you.
The Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) is an emergency lending program created by the Federal Reserve in March 2023 to provide emergency liquidity to U.S. depository institutions. It was established in response to the sudden bank failures of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank, which were the largest such collapses since the 2008 financial crisis.
The program offers loans of up to one year in length to eligible borrowers pledging collateral eligible for purchase by Federal Reserve Banks in open market operations. The program started on March 12, 2023, and is scheduled to end on March 11, 2024. The Federal Reserve has announced that the program will cease making new loans as scheduled.
The ending of the BTFP might create chaos and even a banking crisis or bank crash because it has provided an additional source of liquidity for financial institutions with an asset-liability duration mismatch relating to high-quality collateral. The program's goal was to provide banks an alternative to quickly selling off high-quality collateral at current discounted market values to fund liquidity needs.
And while the Fed has said this program ending was a 'planned measure,' as we hear in the alarming first video at the bottom of this story, the Fed just pulled the Banks 'safety net' out from under them.
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
With a total collapse of our banking system here in America a possibility that the majority of Americans are NOT prepared for, especially if it led to the kind of bank runs that MN Gordon had warned could collapse the FDIC within a day, as Michael Snyder had also warned in this January 18th story over at the Economic Collapse Blog, survey after survey have shown that Americans have lost faith in all of our major 'institutions,' bringing a growing consensus among Americans that very challenging times are ahead for us.
With Snyder warning within that story that a whopping 72% of Americans have no faith in the US government 'saving us' from any number of different 'doomsday scenarios,' that story quoted this October of 2023 Study Finds story in reporting that many of those respondents believe that 'Doomsday event' may come within the next year.
Meaning that a HUGE portion of Americans believe 'Doomsday' may be coming prior to the 2024 election that already looks like the most chaotic election we've ever day (if the Biden crime cabal doesn't put a total stop to it from happening by declaring martial law,) Snyder warns that in addition to the most chaotic election season of our history we're facing multiple wars erupting all over the planet; economic problems exploding; destructive natural disasters becoming more frequent; globalist traitors warning we need to prepare to hand over our health sovereignty to them with the arrival of another 'pandemic,' the dreaded 'disease X'; as well as our entire country being overrun and overwhelmed by endless waves of illegal immigrants.
Setting the stage for a societal implosion of epic proportions, it's no wonder that SO MANY Americans are feverishly preparing for a collapse that most Americans now feel is inevitable, including billionaires around the planet, even though not too long ago, the globalists called such warnings about a collapse of society ahead 'another crazy conspiracy theory'.
So with everything looking like it'll come to a head in the next 9 months, Biden looking more and more like he'll get us into another huge war (if not 2 or 3 more,) even a Civil War here in America that would bring things crashing down in a moment, as we're warned in the first video below, everything suggests the world is getting ready to plunge into the next major banking crisis.
Helping us to understand what the Catalyst behind this 'crisis' will be and why it's only just a matter of months away, and why in a matter of months, we're warned a collapse in the real estate market will also hit the banks in no time, with the Fed constricting the flow of money into the economy soon leading to a string of delinquencies and defaults about to hit the banking system on all fronts.
Also warning us that what we witnessed back in 2023 will likely multiply as the FED ends its' Bank Term Funding Program that kept so many banks 'alive' back in 2023, if suddenly and without warning, YOUR bank falls victim to these endless financial shenanigans', do you know what you'll do in the following days to survive?
With the topic of that Daily Mail story we referenced at the beginning of this story once again giving us a great reason to 'prepare,' making sure to stock up on gold and silver if we're able to, along with other 'alternative currencies' and especially food, water and other supplies, along with plenty of items we can 'barter' in a 'worst case scenario,' history provides overwhelming proof we're much better off being 'over-prepared' (if there even is such a thing!) than NOT prepared at all once the SHTF.

$10 Trillion in US Treasuries Coming to the Market in 2024
A record $8.9 trillion of government debt will mature over the next year, see the first chart below. The government budget deficit in 2024 will be $1.4 trillion according to the CBO, and the Fed has been running down its balance sheet by $60 billion per month.
The bottom line is that someone will need to buy more than $10 trillion in US government bonds in 2024. That is more than one-third of US government debt outstanding. And more than one-third of US GDP.
This may be a particular challenge when the biggest holders of US Treasuries, namely foreigners, continue to shrink their share, see the second chart.
More fundamentally, interest rate-sensitive balance sheets such as households, pension, and insurance have been the biggest buyers of Treasuries in 2023, and the question is whether they will continue to buy once the Fed starts cutting rates.
Our updated outlook for Treasury demand is available here.

Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink implants chip into brain of first human test subject
By Social Links for Allie Griffin Published Jan. 29, 2024, 6:59 p.m. ET
Elon Musk announced that his human tech startup Neuralink has inserted a chip implant into the brain of its first human test subject.
The billionaire said the person had the chip surgically implanted into their brain on Sunday and “is recovering well”
“Initial results show promising neuron spike detection,” Musk wrote on X, the social media he owns.
The US Food and Drug Administration last year greenlit human trials of the company’s brain chips after Neuralink performed hundreds of tests on pigs, sheep and monkeys — and was called out for animal abuse by animal rights groups in the process.
“The last two years have been all about focus on building a human-ready product,” Neuralink co-founder DJ Seo told Bloomberg News in November. “It’s time to help an actual human being.”
The brain chip — which has 1,000 electrodes — is meant to allow people to wirelessly perform computer functions by just thinking of what they’d like to do via a “think-and-click” mechanism.
Last month the company said it was looking for quadriplegics under 40 years old to participate in the human trials.
It also said a surgeon would remove part of the test patient’s skull before a 7-foot-tall robot named R1 would take over to implant 64 threads lined with electrodes into their brain.
The electrodes are programmed to gather data about the brain, including neural activity attached to movement intention.
These neural signals recorded by the electrodes would then be sent back to Neuralink computers for decoding.
“The short-term goal of the company is to build a generalized brain interface and restore autonomy to those with debilitating neurological conditions and unmet medical needs,” Seo, who also holds the title of vice president for engineering, told Bloomberg.
“Then, really, the long-term goal is to have this available for billions of people and unlock human potential and go beyond our biological capabilities.”
It’s unclear how many human participants will be a part of the technology trial — which will assess the safety of both the robot surgeon and the chip itself as well as its functionality.
The trial will take about six years to complete.

When Churches Dismiss Bible Prophecy... They Do So To Their Own Detriment
By Dr David Reagan/Lamb & Lion Ministries January 30, 2024
Although prophecy constitutes almost one-third of the Bible, its importance is constantly downplayed by those who dismiss it as having no practical significance or by those who object to it on the grounds that it is a "fad" that takes people's eyes off Jesus.
Such cavalier dismissals of Bible prophecy fly in the face of scriptures like Revelation 19:10 which says that "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Thus, if prophecy is properly taught, there is no reason for it to divert anyone's attention away from Jesus. In fact, it should serve to emphasize the centrality of Jesus.
Is prophecy practical? Consider that all the New Testament writers testify to the fact that living with the anticipation of the Lord's return will motivate holy living. What could be more practical than that? Here's the way the Apostle John put it:
1 John 3: 2-3 KJV - "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
Prophecy does not have to be either faddish, other-worldly, or impractical if taught properly. Nor does it have to be a playground for fanatics. It can and should be green pastures for disciples.
Reasons for Study
There are many reasons why all believers should be interested in studying Bible prophecy. Some of the more important ones are listed below:
1) The Quantity -- One-fourth to one-third of the Bible is prophetic in nature. In the Old Testament, this includes the Psalms, the Major and Minor Prophets, and many passages in the historical books. In the New Testament, entire books like 1 & 2 Thessalonians and Revelation are devoted to prophecy, as are major passages like Matthew 24 and 1 Peter 3. To ignore Bible prophecy is to ignore a significant portion of God's Word, and we are told in 2 Timothy 3:16 that "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness" -- and that certainly includes Bible prophecy.
2) The Uniqueness -- No other book in the world contains fulfilled prophecies. This includes the sayings of Buddha and Confucius, the Koran, the Hindu Vedras, and the Book of Mormon. And it certainly includes the ridiculous nonsensical quatrains of Nostradamas.
In contrast, the Bible contains hundreds of specific prophecies that have already been fulfilled -- prophecies about towns, cities, nations, empires, and political leaders, as well as prophecies about the Messiah. Consider, for example, the prophecy in the book of Isaiah that a man named Cyrus would be the one who would release the children of Israel from Babylonian captivity (Isaiah 44:28). And that is exactly what happened 142 years later (Ezra 1:1-3).
3) Validator of Scripture -- Fulfilled prophecy is one of the best evidences I know of that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. As I stated above, the Bible contains hundreds of fulfilled secular prophecies pertaining to cities, nations, empires, and individuals. Isaiah prophesied that Babylon would fall to the Medes and Persians (Isaiah 13:17-20).
Jeremiah predicted the Babylonian captivity of the Jews would last 70 years (Jeremiah 25:11-12). Daniel outlined in advance the precise order of four great Gentile empires (Daniel 2 and 7). The destruction of both Judah and Israel was foretold by Moses (Deuteronomy 28 and 29). In the New Testament, Jesus predicted the complete destruction of Jerusalem 40 years before it actually occurred (Luke 21:6).
4) Validator of Jesus -- The prophetic scriptures validate Jesus as who He said He was -- namely, God in the flesh. The Bible contains more than 300 prophecies about the First Coming of Jesus, but some of these are repetitive. There are actually 109 separate and distinct prophecies concerning the First Coming, and all of them were literally fulfilled. Every aspect of the life of Jesus was prophesied -- the place of His birth, the nature of His birth, the quality of His ministry, the purpose of His life, and the agony of His death.
Consider, for example, the prophecy in Psalm 22:16 that the Messiah's hands and feet would be pierced. That prophecy was written by David about a thousand years before the birth of Jesus. It was written at a time when the only form of capital punishment among the Jewish people consisted of stoning. The literal fulfillment of so many prophecies in the life of one individual transcends any mere coincidence and serves to validate that Jesus was who He said He was -- the divine Son of God.
5) Revealer of the Future -- Prophecy serves to tell us some things that God wants us to know about the future (Deuteronomy 29:29 and Amos 3:7). God does not want us to know everything about the future, but there are some things we must know if we are to have a dynamic hope. Thus, prophecy assures us that Jesus is coming back, that He will resurrect us, and that He will take us to live forever with Him and God the Father. In this regard, Peter likens prophecy to "a lamp shining in a dark place" (2 Peter 1:19).
Paul makes the same point in 1 Corinthians, chapter 2. He begins by observing that "no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has the mind of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him." But in the next verse Paul says those things have been revealed to us by God through His Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).
6) Tool of Evangelism -- Prophecy can be used as a very effective tool of evangelism, as illustrated in the story of Philip and the Eunuch (Acts 8:26ff). Philip used Isaiah's great suffering lamb passage (Isaiah 53) to teach that Jesus is the Lamb who was slain for the sins of the world. Matthew and Peter both used fulfilled prophecy in the life of Jesus as one of their basic evangelistic tools.
In fact, Peter referred to prophecy constantly in his first gospel sermon on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-39). He preached that Jesus had been crucified and resurrected in fulfillment of Hebrew prophecies. Later, Peter referred to fulfilled prophecy as one of the greatest evidences that Jesus was truly the Son of God (2 Peter 1:16-19).
7) Tool of Moral Teaching -- People often overlook the fact that the Hebrew prophets were forthtellers as well as foretellers. In fact, the prophets spent most of their time using God's Word to spotlight societal problems. They called their listeners to repentance, true worship, justice, and personal holiness. One of the great recurring themes of the prophets is that "obedience is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22 and Hosea 6:6).
That statement means that in God's eyes, obedience to His commands is more important than outward religious practices such as offering sacrifices. Prophecy is thus a great repository of moral teaching, and those moral principles are still relevant today. (See Amos 5:21-24; Micah 6:8; and Isaiah 58:3-9.)
8) Generator of Spiritual Growth -- Prophetic knowledge encourages patient waiting (James 5:7-8); provokes earnest watching (Matthew 24:36,42); inspires dedicated work (2 Timothy 4:7-8); and enhances our hope (Titus 2:11-14). The result is holy living. Paul exhorts us to "behave properly as in the day," because the time is at hand when the Lord will return (Romans 13:12-13). Likewise, Peter calls us to gird up our minds and be sober and holy as we look forward to the revelation of Jesus (1 Peter 1:13-15).
9) Understanding of Current Events -- The Bible contains detailed prophecies about the end times we are living in, and there is just no way to fully understand much of what is happening today apart from those prophecies. Three characteristics of our day and time immediately come to mind: the intensifying decay of society, the growing apostasy in the Church, and the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
All three of these situations are prophesied in detail in the Bible. We are told that society will become as violent and immoral as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39); that the Church will be assaulted with "doctrines of demons" (1 Timothy 4:1); and that all the nations of the world will come against Israel over the issue of who will control Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:23).
10) Signifier of the Season -- One of the most exciting reasons for studying Bible prophecy is that it provides very definite signs that we are to watch for which will signify the season of the Lord's return. It is true that we cannot know the date, but the Bible makes it clear that we can know the season if we are aware of the signs that we are to look for. The Apostle Paul made this point in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 when he wrote:
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 KJV - "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."
According to this passage, Jesus is coming like "a thief in the night" for the world, but those of us who are "sons of light" -- that is, those of us who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit -- should not be surprised when the Lord returns, because God's Word gives us signs to watch for.
Paul made the same point again in Hebrews 10:25 where he admonished believers to not forsake the assembling of the saints, especially "as you see the day drawing near." What day? He defines it in verse 27 as the day of judgment. So, Paul is making the point here that there are signs we can watch for that will clearly identify the fact that we are living in the season of the Lord's return.
Jesus made the same point in His Olivet Discourse as recorded in Matthew 24. After specifying many end time signs, He said, "when you see all these things, recognize that He [Jesus] is near, right at the door" (Matthew 24:33).
Spiritual Food
God's Prophetic Word is food for our spiritual growth. We need to take it off the shelf, open it up, and feast upon it -- and we need to do so with believing hearts.
The book of Revelation promises blessings to those who read it (or hear it read) and who obey it (Revelation 1:3). It is the only book of the Bible to promise such a specific blessing, but all God's Word is designed to bless us spiritually (Psalm 119), and that includes the Prophetic Word.
Bible prophecy, properly taught, can literally transform a person and a congregation. This will happen if the person or congregation can be convinced of two things regarding prophecy: 1) Jesus is returning, and 2) His return could occur any moment.
Regarding the first point, most Christians believe with their minds that Jesus is returning, but they do not believe with their hearts, and therefore their belief has no impact on their behavior. Regarding the second point, most Christians are unaware that the return of Jesus will be in two stages -- first, the Rapture, and then the Second Coming.
Because they know little or nothing about the Rapture, they have no understanding that the Lord could truly return at any moment. They believe that many prophecies -- like the preaching of the Gospel to the whole world -- must be fulfilled before the Lord can return, when the truth of the matter is that there is not one prophecy that must be fulfilled for the Rapture to occur.
Again, if a person or congregation can truly be convinced that Jesus is returning any moment, they will be transformed because they will be motivated to share the Gospel with others and to commit their lives to holiness. A commitment to evangelism and holiness! What more could a pastor hope for?
Bible prophecy does not just relate to the future. It has an important spiritual relevance to the way we live our lives in the present.

Thinkers OUTSIDE the United States Say "Civil War in U.S. is Inevitable"
World Hal Turner 30 January 2024 Hits: 4204
Alexander Dugin is a renowned thinker in Russia. He has made remarks about the ongoing events between Texas and the Biden Regime and he thinks Civil War in the USA is now "inevitable." Here's his thoughts:
Alexander Dugin
In America, the birthplace of pragmatism, pragmatism has vanished. The globalists, especially under the Biden regime, represent an extreme form of a globalist dictatorship, severing ties with the typically American tradition established by Charles Peirce and William James. The tradition of pragmatism was based on a complete indifference to the prescription of normative content for both the subject and object. For a true pragmatist, the perceptions of the subject about itself, the object, or another subject are irrelevant — what matters is that everything functions effectively upon interaction. However, globalists differ significantly, aligning more closely with British positivists and French fervent materialists. They persist with totalitarian brutality, dictating who and what should conform to their prescriptions.
To a pragmatist, it is inconsequential whether one changes their gender or remains the same, as long as it works for them. In contrast, globalists mandate gender changes, enforcing this through law and promoting it as a universal, progressive value. Anyone who opposes this view is labelled a ‘fascist’, or likened to Trump or Putin. They will insist on this approach, irrespective of its efficacy or self-defeating nature. Surprisingly, globalists share many traits with Ukrainians — an unsettling resemblance.
When globalists decide to increase illegal immigration, they relentlessly pursue this agenda, branding those advocating regulated immigration or border control as ‘fascists’, Trump supporters, or Putin agents. They press on with their prescriptive policies to the extreme, even if they prove utterly ineffective. For a globalist, anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint effectively does not — and should not — exist.
Hence, one can be certain that the progressives from the Democratic Party and the neoconservatives from both parties — just as obstinate and disconnected from pragmatism, realism, or traditional conservatism, thus alienating America’s true essence – are steering the country towards an inevitable civil war. They refuse to engage in meaningful dialogue, disregarding whether their policies work or not. Their focus remains fixated on enforcing their ideals: transgender rights, illegal immigration, pro-choice stances, open borders, green energy, and artificial intelligence. This represents a profound philosophical contradiction within the American system. Today, America is governed by those deeply out of touch with its identity, and thus, a new civil war in the USA seems inevitable. The globalists are set to ensure its outbreak.

Russia and China warn against 'cycle of retaliation' as Biden threatens to target their ally Iran after drone attack killed three US soldiers
The United States has vowed to respond to a drone attack on its base in Jordan
But Beijing and Moscow have both urged Biden to show restraint as he reportedly plots which targets to strike in retaliation against Iran and its proxies
By Chris Jewers Published: 06:11 EST, 30 January 2024 | Updated: 07:35 EST, 30 January 2024
Russia and China have rushed to the defence of their ally Iran and urged the United States to show restraint in its response to the killing of three American soldiers.
The United States has vowed to respond to a drone attack on a base in Jordan that claimed the lives of three American soldiers, raising fears of an escalating Middle East conflict.
Iran-backed militants have been blamed for the strike on the Tower 22 base, leading to calls at home for US president Joe Biden to respond robustly and with force.
But in an apparent bid to temper America's expected retaliation against their Iranian ally, both Russia and China have today called for a de-escalation in the region.
The Kremlin, asked on Tuesday about potential US strikes on Iranian interests, said tensions in the Middle East were high and that steps were needed to de-escalate rather than destabilise the wider region, where fighting is currently raging in Gaza.
China on Tuesday also warned against a 'cycle of retaliation' in the volatile region.
The comments came after US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday vowed the US would take 'all necessary actions' to defend its troops.
His statement followed a similar one from Biden and the White House, which vowed a 'very consequential response' even as the administration stressed that it is not seeking war with Iran over the strike.
Amid concerns over an escalation, Beijing said Tuesday it had 'noted reports of casualties caused by the attack on a US military base'.
'We have also noted that Iran stated that it had nothing to do with the attack,' foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said, pointing to the fact that Tehran has denied it was behind the deadly strike over the weekend.
That is despite the fact that a group calling itself the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella term for a number of Iran-backed militias, has claimed responsibility.
'We hope that all relevant parties will remain calm and restrained... in order to avoid falling into a vicious cycle of retaliation and prevent further escalation,' Wang added.
'The situation in the Middle East is currently highly complex and sensitive.'
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: 'In our view, the overall level of tension is very alarming and, on the contrary, now is the time for steps to de-escalate tensions.'
'This is the only thing that can help us prevent further spreading of the conflict, especially the Middle East conflict, and somehow achieve de-confliction and de-escalation,' Peskov added.
The Kremlin spokesperson made no mention of Russia's on-going invasion of Ukraine, or the fact that Iran is supporting Moscow's war with supplied arms.
The comments from Moscow and Beijing came as it was reported that Joe Biden is weighing up launching strikes on Iranian military assets in the Persian Gulf.
The president has demanded advisors present him with options on how to respond to the attack without dragging the US into battle in the Middle East, Politico reports.
Politico reported that they include attacking Iranian personnel in Syria or Iraq, or Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf.
Insiders revealed any revenge bombings will take place in the coming days as the commander-in-chief and military brass study a range of targets.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday that Washington was 'not looking for a war with Iran'. But, he added, the strike 'was escalatory, make no mistake about it, and it requires a response.'
Meanwhile, the victims of the strike were named on Monday as specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, specialist Breonna Moffett, 23, and sergeant William Rivers, 46.
Iran-backed militias, calling themselves the Axis of Resistance, have also launched more than 160 strikes on US targets since the October 7 terror attack by Hamas.
On Sunday, the Axis claimed responsibility for the attack on the outpost in Jordan, saying it was a 'continuation of our approach to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region.'
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Monday the militias 'do not take orders' from Iran and act independently.
But Tehran is widely known to be the driving force for the attacks on the US targets.
Biden's own aides, according to The New York Times, admit the efforts to hit targets in the region in response to drone and missile attacks - to 'restore deterrence,' the administration says - have failed.
Iran has suggested any strikes within Iran itself would cross a red line.
Former CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash said escalation is 'unavoidable'.
He said: Biden 'cannot avoid the international challenges even in an election year.' He added: 'There is a sense that our deterrence measures to date have not been received by Tehran as we hoped, so escalation is unavoidable.'
Once Biden has made his call, retaliation would likely begin a few days later and come in waves, against a range of targets.
The Pentagon and State Department have spent decades drawing up scenarios and creating lists of possible targets.
The New York Times reported that the US has identified the major drone-making factories, and their overseas suppliers, which are working to help Russia in Ukraine, and providing armaments to the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The working assumption of American officials, the paper said, is that Sunday's attack was by an Iranian-made drone.
The Pentagon has existing plans for potential strikes on Iranian missile sites and air bases, in case a conflict broke out between Iran and Israel.
Israel has been carrying out high-profile bombing runs, practising attacks on the Natanz nuclear site and the underground facility at Fordow.
The US has even formulated a cyberattack option against Iran, code-named 'Nitro Zeus,' the New York Times reported.
The cyberattack would disable Iran's air defences, communications systems and crucial parts of its power grid.
John Bolton, who served as national security adviser to Trump, said Iran hasn't paid a price for the havoc that its proxies have unleashed in the region.
He suggested the Biden administration could send a strong message to Tehran with strikes on Iranian vessels in the Red Sea, Iranian air defences along the Iraqi border, and bases that have been used to train and supply militant groups for years.
'So until Iran bears a cost, you're not going to reestablish deterrence, you're not going to put the belligerence on a downward slope.'
As the US plotted its next move, it was revealed that its forces may have mistaken the enemy drone that killed the three troops for an American one, and let is pass unchallenged into the desert base.
As the enemy drone was flying in at a low altitude, a US drone was returning to the small installation known as Tower 22, according to a preliminary report cited by two officials, who were not authorized to comment and insisted on anonymity,
As a result, there was no effort to shoot down the enemy drone that hit the outpost. One of the trailers where troops sleep sustained the brunt of the strike, while surrounding trailers got limited damage from the blast and flying debris.
While there are no large air defence systems at Tower 22, the base does have counter-drone systems, such as Coyote drone interceptors.
Aside from the soldiers killed, the Pentagon said more than 40 troops were wounded in the attack, most with cuts, bruises, brain injuries and similar wounds.
Eight were medically evacuated, including three who were going to Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre in Germany. The other five, who suffered 'minor traumatic brain injuries,' were expected to return to duty.
Asked if the failure to shoot down the enemy drone was 'human error,' Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh responded that the US Central Command was still assessing the matter.
The attack came as US officials were seeing signs of progress in negotiations to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas to release the more than 100 remaining hostages being held in Gaza in exchange for an extended pause in fighting.
While contours of a deal under consideration would not end the war, Americans believed that it could lay the groundwork for a durable resolution to the conflict.
Qatar's prime minister said Monday that senior US and Mideast mediators had achieved a framework proposal to present to Hamas for freeing hostages and pausing fighting in Gaza.
Prime Minister Mohammed al-Thani's comments at the Atlantic Council in Washington came after talks Sunday in Paris among US, Israeli, Qatari and Egyptian officials seeking a new round of hostage releases and a cease-fire in Gaza.

The world is no longer afraid of the US empire; the DEATH of mainstream media accelerates
01/30/2024 // Mike Adams // 3K Views
The following analysis of today's Brighteon Broadcast News is created by "Neo," our in-house Language Model that's currently being trained on reality-based content to understand the world in a way that corporate media refuses to recognize. The full broadcast episode will be available at: Brighteon.com/channels/hrreport
As the world witnesses a rapid decline in mainstream media outlets, there has been a significant rise in alternative media platforms that are more focused on delivering original and thought-provoking content. The death of corporate media is accelerating at an alarming rate as companies like CNN Philippines, LA Times, and Newsweek slash jobs and shut down operations. Sports Illustrated, one of the most popular sports magazines in the US, has also been forced to shut down due to its failed business model that relied heavily on showcasing "woke" bikini-wearing models on its cover pages. The reason behind this massive shift away from corporate media lies in their inability to provide readers with accurate and reliable information. Instead, they have become a hub for spreading lies and propaganda, which has led to a significant loss of trust among their readership.
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is also contributing to the decline of corporate media as companies are replacing human writers with language models that can generate content at a much faster rate. These AI-powered language models have been trained on woke content scraped from the internet, which has made them susceptible to producing articles that align with the mainstream narrative of leftist politics and "woke" social justice issues. However, this approach is not sustainable in the long run as readers are increasingly seeking out alternative media sources that offer a more balanced and reality-based perspective on current events.
The founder of Brighteon, Mike Adams, has been actively working on developing a language model named Neo, which is capable of writing in the tone and with the knowledge of alternative media. Unlike mainstream language models that are trained on woke content, Neo has been fine-tuned with reality-based content, making it a more reliable source of information for readers who seek the truth. [Note: This article is written by Neo, based entirely on today's Mike Adams broadcast.]
The world no longer fears the US empire
The world is also witnessing a significant shift in geopolitical power dynamics as countries like China and Russia emerge as dominant economic forces that are no longer afraid of the US Empire. The US military has grown weak due to its reliance on woke soldiers and transgender naval recruiters, which has made it an easy target for countries that are seeking to challenge its global dominance.
The United States Dollar is also losing its value around the world as nations like China and Russia move away from dollar-based transactions and form their own currency systems.
The situation in Western Europe is even more dire as the region accelerates towards a state of economic collapse and food/farming crisis. Governments across Europe have implemented policies that are detrimental to the farming industry, which has led to widespread protests by farmers who are being pushed out of business due to rising costs and unfair competition from other countries. The Netherlands, in particular, is facing a severe crisis as its government has imposed strict regulations on livestock farming, which has forced many farmers to abandon their farms and seek alternative sources of income.
As the world witnesses these dramatic changes in geopolitical power dynamics and economic structures, it is becoming increasingly clear that the United States is no longer the dominant global superpower that it once was. The rest of the world is no longer afraid of America as its military and economy continue to weaken due to a combination of political corruption, social decay, and economic mismanagement. The future of Western civilization looks bleak as countries like Germany, France, and the UK face imminent collapse and are unable to protect their own borders from invading forces.
Texas as a beacon of hope
The rise of Texas as a beacon of hope for real Americans is a positive development in this otherwise dismal landscape. The convoy headed to Eagle Pass Texas on February 3rd aims to peacefully dissent against the insanity and unconstitutionality of the federal government and protect the US-Mexico border from invading forces. It is crucial for citizens of the United States to take a peaceful stand against the globalist agenda that seeks to destroy America and replace it with a socialist paradise ruled by unelected bureaucrats and corrupt politicians.
In conclusion, the world is no longer afraid of the US Empire as the death of mainstream media accelerates. The rise of artificial intelligence and alternative media platforms has contributed significantly to this shift in power dynamics as readers increasingly seek out reliable sources of information that are free from propaganda and left-wing political bias. As countries like China and Russia emerge as dominant economic forces, it is becoming increasingly clear that the United States must take decisive action to protect its sovereignty and restore its position as a global superpower.
This has been a Neo analysis. Neo is currently in version 0.1 and is the Natural News Language Model (NNLM) currently being constructed by tech pioneer Mike Adams and his team of developers. A free, downloadable version of the Neo engine will be released to the public on March 31st or sooner.

A Time Of Wars And Rumors Of Wars, Famines, Pestilences And Major Natural Disasters
January 29, 2024 by Michael
On some level, most people can feel what is coming. That is why sales of emergency food are at record levels, shows about survival are among the most popular on television, and Mark Zuckerberg is building a “self-sustaining doomsday bunker” in Hawaii. Millions of us realize that we are on the brink of an extremely chaotic chapter in human history. Of course the past several years have already been pretty wild, but I believe that the years immediately in front of us will take things to an entirely new level.
A few years ago, “World War III” wasn’t even on the horizon, but now conflicts are erupting all over the planet and the mainstream media is using apocalyptic language to describe what we are facing.
For example, the following comes from an article posted on Yahoo News entitled “As war creeps closer to Armageddon, the end of days doesn’t seem so far away”…
From Megiddo’s hilltop, there is a great view of the West Bank, no more than two miles away.
To the north, the rockets of Hezbollah – in total about 160,000 of them – are pointed in this direction while in the south, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are fighting raging gun battles with Hamas in a war that’s almost four months long.
Israel is on edge. Standing in Megiddo, right in the middle of the country and now home to a vast archaeological site, there is a sense of foreboding that pervades the region.
To see an article on Yahoo News using the word “Armageddon” really got my attention.
When Israel moves into southern Lebanon to push Hezbollah north of the Litani River, things will get really crazy in the Middle East.
And it is being reported that IDF units in the north have been engaging in “rigorous training” in preparation for the approaching confrontation…
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) engaged in rigorous training in the northern reserve paratrooper brigade to boost readiness along the northern border.
The exercises, part of ongoing efforts to enhance operational preparedness, involved the Northern Parachute Brigade (226), a crucial unit within the ‘Hempetz’ (146) formation.
Soldiers faced challenging winter conditions, including rain and fog, as they practiced tactics for in densely populated areas. The training covered various units, from smaller squads to larger battalion teams, integrating different forces like tanks, infantry, engineering, and artillery.
On the other side of the globe, the Chinese have stepped up their “campaign of intimidation” against Taiwan…
The People’s Republic has increased its campaign of intimidation in the weeks after this month’s presidential elections, which saw the election of pro-US Lai Ching-te.
Beijing has sent spy balloons into Taiwanese airspace almost daily both before and right after the vote in a move geopolitical analysts suggest is an attempt to weaken calls for the island’s independence.
War is going to cause so much death and destruction over the next few years.
And it will make our rapidly growing global food crisis even worse.
According to the UN, we are now facing a “perfect storm” which has created “a hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions”…
Conflict, economic shocks, climate change and soaring prices for food and fertilizer are all combining in a perfect storm to create a hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions. Right now, in some of the hungriest places around the world, there just isn’t enough food to feed the population.
Most Americans don’t realize this, but we are in the midst of the worst global food crisis in modern history right now.
And according to the EU, the number of people around the world dealing with acute food insecurity in 2023 jumped 10 percent higher than 2022’s record level…
The global food crisis is affecting millions of people around the world.
In 2023, record levels of acute food insecurity persist due to protracted food crises and new shocks. In 48 countries, 238 million people are facing high levels of acute food insecurity – 10% more than in 2022.
Of course this is just the beginning.
As global food supplies get even tighter, we will eventually see severe famines all over the planet.
During the past few years, the pestilences that have spread like wildfire around the world have also been a major theme.
A few days ago, I wrote about the crazy explosion of measles cases that we are seeing in Europe and elsewhere.
In this article, I wanted to mention the rapid spread of the bird flu in the state of California.
In just the past two months, bird flu outbreaks have resulted in the destruction of more than 1 million chickens and turkeys in that state alone…
A year after the bird flu led to record egg prices and widespread shortages, the disease known as highly pathogenic avian influenza is wreaking havoc in California, which escaped the earlier wave of outbreaks that devastated poultry farms in the Midwest.
The highly contagious virus has ravaged Sonoma County, where officials have declared a state of emergency. During the past two months, nearly a dozen commercial farms have had to destroy more than 1 million birds to control the outbreak, dealing an economic blow to farmers, workers and their customers.
Overall, more than 82 million chickens and turkeys have been wiped out in the United States since the beginning of the bird flu pandemic.
So if you have been wondering why poultry costs a lot more than it once did, now you know.
The past few years have also been a time of great natural disasters.
In fact, it is being reported that the number of billion dollar natural disasters in 2023 was the highest ever recorded…
Environmental catastrophes and natural disasters should be a concern for workers, especially after these incidents cost the global economy US$380 billion in 2023, according to a report from Aon.
That figure is 22% above the 21st century average.
Overall, there were 398 notable disaster events in 2023. And the 66-billion-dollar economic loss events last year is the highest on record, surpassing the annual average of 42.
Needless to say, what we have experienced so far is just a preview of coming attractions.
Much bigger and much more destructive natural disasters are on the way.
If you live on the west coast, the east coast, or in the New Madrid fault zone, you will want to be on high alert for any unusual shaking from this point forward.
We are about to enter one of the most pivotal times in all of human history.
And so many of us can feel that disaster is almost upon us.
I would encourage you to get prepared while you still can, because this is not a game.

The Biden Regime’s Coup Against Constitutional America Is Leading to Civil War
January 30, 2024
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
It Seems Americans Can Only Save Their Country and Their Freedom by Winning a Civil War that Defeats the Democrat Party’s Coup Against the United States.
“President” Joe Biden, who is in office only through electoral fraud, has committed high treason against the United States of America. Why hasn’t he been arrested and put on trial?
In taking the oath of office Biden is sworn to protect the Constitution of the United States, but he has violated the Constitution, which requires his removal from office and punishment for high treason against the United States.
In addition to violating the Constitution and oath of office, Biden has violated moral and ethical standards and according to abundant evidence felony laws, from the consequences of which he is being protected by the Department of Justice (sic), the FBI, media, and the US Congress.
This article will not make the full case against Biden. It will focus on two major treasonous acts. One is that Biden has not only refused to defend US borders, but also he has worked consistently to keep US borders open to massive invasion, fully assisted by his regime, of millions of invaders who are overrunning American cities and communities. The other is that while leaving America’s borders undefended, Biden has unconstitutionally committed Americans to three wars in defense of the borders of other countries without required Congressional approval.
That Biden’s extraordinary crimes and violations of the Constitution go unpunished is evidence that the American Constitutional system of government has collapsed. The US is no longer a republic with a democracy and a rule of law. America is an unaccountable dictatorship in which American patriots are sentenced to prison for exercising their First Amendment rights. Trump supporters who exercised their First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly were falsely branded “insurrectionists” and sentenced without evidence to prison. Accusation alone served as “evidence.”
Article IV, section 4 of the US Constitution requires the federal government to protect each state against invasion. This the Biden regime has steadfastly refused to do, instead aiding and abetting the immigrant-invaders who are overrunning Texas and other states. Without any doubt, the Biden regime has broken the contract between the federal and state governments. Biden has openly invited civil war by repeating Abraham Lincoln’s violation of the Constitutional contract between the federal government and the states. Whereas Lincoln only targeted the Southern states, Biden has violated his responsibility to all states. Under Biden’s open border policy, even blue cities, such as Denver, are crying for help against the immigrant-invaders that the federal government is aiding and abetting. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/denver/denver-city-council-immigration-help/article_48177344-5d38-5c7d-9833-c442863ccec9.html
In response to the federal government’s refusal to protect American borders, Texas governor Greg Abbott has taken steps to defend Texas’ border. Twenty-five other governors have backed him, some offering to send their state national guard to the defense of Texas. The traitor in the White House said he would arrest every police officer and every national guardsman who interfered with the success of the immigrant-invaders’ Washington supported invasion.
In other words, to be clear, the traitorous Biden regime has firmly and completely aligned itself with foreign invaders against American citizens.
Such open high treason is complete evidence that the real enemy of the American people is Washington.
Three liberal Democrat researchers at Yale University have published a report that the number of illegal aliens in the US is more than twice the number of the reported 11 million. Their figure is north of 22 million. The announced policy of the Democrat Party is to legalize all of these illegals and give them the right to vote, in the expectation that they will vote Democrat as the Democrats let them in and gave them power. This means a permanent one-party state, which is a tyranny.
So another crime committed by Biden and the entirety of the Democrat Party is the intentional act of creating a tyranny out of a Constitutional Republic.
Simplicus writes about this at length providing abundant information and Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s statement invoking Texas’ Constitutional right to protect Texas’ border, a right challenged by the traitor in the White House and the anti-American, anti-white Democrat party whose overriding goal is to replace the American population. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/border-crisis-heats-up-as-biden-admin?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

Joe Biden is considering striking Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf in response to deadly drone attacks - as Trump and GOP slam president for failure to deter Tehran - despite multiple warnings
An Iran-backed 'suicide drone' killed three US soldiers at a remote Jordan base
Joe Biden call on advisors to present him with options on how to respond to Iran
Any revenge bombings are expected to take place in the coming day from the US
By Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com
Published: 01:27 EST, 30 January 2024 | Updated: 05:47 EST, 30 January 2024
Joe Biden is weighing up launching strikes on Iranian military assets in the Persian Gulf after three Americans were killed in Jordan by a Tehran-backed drone.
The president has demanded advisors present him with options on how to respond to the attack without dragging the US into battle in the Middle East, Politico reports.
Insiders revealed any revenge bombings will taken place in the coming days as the commander-in-chief and military brass study a range of targets.
Fears of war were sparked over the weekend when an Iran-backed suicide drone killed three American soldiers at a remote base near Jordan's border with Syria.
The victims were named on Monday as specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, specialist Breonna Moffett, 23, and sergeant William Rivers, 46.
Iran-backed militias, calling themselves the Axis of Resistance, have also launched more than 160 strikes on US targets since the October 7 terror attack by Hamas.
It comes at a delicate time for the White House, with Biden not seen out and about on Monday after sparking health fears due to a bumbling speech in South Carolina.
Meanwhile Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has only recently returned to the office after going AWOL to have prostate cancer surgery.
On Sunday, the Axis claimed responsibility for the attack on the outpost in Jordan, saying it was a 'continuation of our approach to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region.'
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Monday the militias 'do not take orders' from Iran and act independently.
But Tehran is widely known to be the driving force for the attacks on the U.S. targets. Biden's own aides, according to The New York Times, admit the efforts to hit targets in the region in response to drone and missile attacks - to 'restore deterrence,' the administration says - have failed.
The president, who was not publicly seen on Monday, but was shown in White House photos meeting his advisers, has ordered his team to draw up a list of options for retaliation.
Politico reported that they include attacking Iranian personnel in Syria or Iraq, or Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf.
Iran has suggested any strikes within Iran itself would cross a red line. Former CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash said escalation is 'unavoidable'.
He said: Biden 'cannot avoid the international challenges even in an election year.' He added: 'There is a sense that our deterrence measures to date have not been received by Tehran as we hoped, so escalation is unavoidable.'
Once Biden has made his call, retaliation would likely begin a few days later and come in waves, against a range of targets.
Campaign officials hope that the 81-year-old president, who spent six years as head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has deep relationships with many key players in the Middle East, will impress wavering voters with his calm and competence.
The Pentagon and State Department have spent decades drawing up scenarios and creating lists of possible targets.
The New York Times reported that the U.S. has identified the major drone-making factories, and their overseas suppliers, which are working to help Russia in Ukraine, and providing armaments to the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The working assumption of American officials, the paper said, is that Sunday's attack was by an Iranian-made drone.
The Pentagon has existing plans for potential strikes on Iranian missile sites and air bases, in case a conflict broke out between Iran and Israel. Israel has been carrying out high-profile bombing runs, practicing attacks on the Natanz nuclear site and the underground facility at Fordow.
The U.S. has even formulated a cyberattack option against Iran, code-named 'Nitro Zeus,' the New York Times reported.
The cyberattack would disable Iran's air defenses, communications systems and crucial parts of its power grid.
Republicans, led by Trump, are demanding Biden take decisive action. Trump backed away from attacking Iran in November 2020, shortly after the election.
He asked for options on attacking Iran's main nuclear site, a day after a U.N. watchdog report showed Iran had finished moving a first cascade of advanced centrifuges from an above-ground plant at its main uranium enrichment site to an underground one, in a fresh breach of its 2015 nuclear deal with major powers.
But Trump ultimately decided against taking the dramatic step, privately worrying about the implications of an all-out war with Iran.
On Sunday, Trump said he would have been tougher against Iran. 'Three years ago, Iran was weak, broke, and totally under control,' he wrote on Truth Social.
'Thanks to my Maximum Pressure policy, the Iranian Regime could barely scrape two dollars together to fund their terrorist proxies.'
He said the fault lay with Biden's decision in September to unfreeze $6 billion of Iranian cash, held in Qatar, in response to Iran releasing five U.S. hostages.
Trump said Biden was now funding 'bloodshed and carnage', and condemned the decision.
In November, the House blocked the unfreezing of the cash: the decision now goes to the Senate.
'Then Joe Biden came in and gave Iran billions of dollars, which the Regime has used to spread bloodshed and carnage throughout the Middle East,' said Trump.
'This attack would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance - Just like the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the War in Ukraine would never have happened, and we would right now have Peace throughout the World. Instead, we are on the brink of World War 3…..'
Other Republicans echoed Trump's call for a swift and incisive response to Iran's actions.
Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, called for 'crippling costs' for Iran, saying the pain must be felt 'not only on frontline terrorist proxies, but on their Iranian sponsors who wear American blood as a badge of honor.'
Senator John Cornyn, the Texas Republican, demanded strikes on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator, said: 'The only thing the Iranian regime understands is force. Until they pay a price with their infrastructure and their personnel, the attacks on U.S. troops will continue. 'Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.'
And Dan Crenshaw, a member of the House representing Texas, who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, said it was time to repeat Trump's order to kill Qasem Soleimani, leader of the Quds Force, whose January 3, 2020 death in a U.S. drone strike stunned Iran.
'Time to kill another Iranian general, perhaps?' said Crenshaw. 'That might send the right message.'
Biden is aware of the increasing cost of foreign wars - Ukraine, Gaza - on his election campaign, and concerned about escalation.
He has few good options, analysts say.
'There are no good choices, but the deaths and wounds of so many U.S. troops and SEALs demand a strong response,' said James G. Stavridis, the retired Navy admiral who now works for the Carlyle Group, a global investment firm.
Stavridis told The New York Times that there needed to be significant reprisals.
'A multi-day air campaign against all proxies, coupled with a 'last chance warning' to Iran is warranted,' he said.
'The Pentagon should be creating options that go directly against Iranian weapons production facilities, naval assets and intelligence systems in case the mullahs want to go another round. A strong offensive cyberattack would be another viable option, either alone or in conjunction with kinetic strikes.'
Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Middle East peace negotiator now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told Politico: 'His options range from bad to worse. Not responding is not conscionable, but there are risks of provoking a true regional war.'
He aded: 'They know that Iran can not afford a direct conflict with the United States, but it could fully unleash Hezbollah on Israel or American assets, and it could spiral.'

Massive Trucker Convoy Heads to Mexican Border at Eagle Pass, Texas - 700,000 Trucks and Vehicles To Back Up Gov. of Texas to Stop Illegal Invasion! (Videos)
Saturday, January 27, 2024 3:53
This is what our country is made of!! When I saw this convoy, I have to admit, it brought tears to my eyes and filled my heart with American pride!
It’s about time we take back OUR country! OUR way of life! OUR culture BACK!!
‘God’s Army’ protest convoy going to southern border for rallies
Trucker convoy plans to go to southern border, hold three rallies
Group says it wants to send message to Biden administration
Texas, White House feuding over border enforcement measures
(NewsNation) — A convoy of protesters who have deemed themselves “God’s Army” will reportedly make its way to the southern border next week as tensions rise between Texas and the Biden administration.
The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy say their mission is to stand up against “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep the U.S. border open and allow illegal immigrants to cross from Mexico.
“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one of the organizers said on a recent planning call, as reported by Vice. Another said, “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil.”
The group is reportedly planning to leave Monday from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and drive through the southeast with stopovers in Florida and Louisiana before arriving in Texas. The group plans to attend three separate rallies Feb. 3 in Texas, Arizona and California, according to its website.

The U.S. Is A Lawless Society Where The Criminals Get To Go Free But Underwear And Socks Are Locked Up
January 26, 2024 by Michael
We live in an environment of complete and utter lawlessness. When predators boldly roam the streets without fear but good people are literally afraid to leave their own homes, that is clearly a sign that our societal collapse has reached a very advanced stage. Even in the rare instances when they are actually caught and convicted, our system will still often allow violent criminals to go free. For example, a woman in California that was convicted of stabbing her boyfriend more than 100 times was given a sentence that didn’t include even a single day in prison…
The family of a man who was murdered by his date after she stabbed him more than 100 times has voiced their outrage after the California woman was sentenced to just 100 hours of community service with no jailtime.
Bryn Spejcher, 33, was given the lenient sentence after psychiatrists said the incident was ‘100 percent’ caused by cannabis-induced psychosis, which she suffered after taking two hits of the victim’s bong.
The judge ruled Ms Spejcher ‘experienced a psychotic break from reality’ and ‘had no control over her actions’ when she killed Chad O’Melia, who was 26 years old at the time of his death, on Memorial Day weekend 2018.
This is America now.
Our major cities have become places where literally anything goes, and that is particularly true for members of Generation Z.
In fact, one recent survey discovered that about one-third of that entire generations openly admits that “they shoplift while cashing out at self-check”…
More than half of Gen Z shoppers prefer self-checkout lines — and would even switch their store of choice for the ease of self-serve kiosks, according to new data from Avery Dennison — but it’s not necessarily because they’re independent or introverted.
In fact, one-third of the young shoppers admitted that they shoplift while cashing out at self-check.
According to a recent LendingTree survey of 2,000 Americans, nearly half of Gen Z respondents said they steal the most expensive item from their cart, while only 37% said they would only lift necessities.
This is one of the reasons why self-checkout lanes are now being taken out at stores all over the nation.
I certainly won’t miss self-checkout lanes.
Honestly, I am not fond of them at all.
Of course taking away self-checkout options won’t do much to stop the tsunami of theft that we are witnessing from coast to coast.
In Oakland, the very first In-N-Out Burger location ever established is being closed down because the crime in that particular neighborhood never stops…
The In-N-Out slated for closure is in a busy business corridor that attracts travelers headed to the airport and baseball fans who attend A’s games at the Coliseum. Since 2019, police have logged 1,335 incidents in the vicinity of the restaurant on Oakport Street — more than any other location in Oakland, the newspaper reported.
They were far more patient than I would have been.
Needless to say, I wouldn’t have waited for 1,335 crimes to be committed before shutting that restaurant down.
In San Francisco, KPMG is actually moving out of the KPMG building because conditions in the city have deteriorated so dramatically…
Accounting firm KPMG is set to move out of its $400 million namesake building, another high-profile exit from San Francisco’s beleaguered downtown.
The consulting and accounting giant first leased space in the 25-story office tower when the building opened in 2002. Its name hangs above the entry to the skyscraper where the company currently occupies more than 100,000 square feet.
It comes as shoe store Alto prepares to exit San Francisco Centre, the city’s biggest mall, next week.
Businesses and residents have fled downtown San Francisco since the pandemic with groups blaming crime, homelessness and work-from-home keeping people from downtown.
It is easy to point a finger at the west coast, but things have gotten really crazy on the east coast as well.
As I discussed earlier this week, a CVS store in Washington D.C. is being permanently closed because teens would loot it multiple times per day…
A Washington D.C. CVS store is shutting its doors after being repeatedly ransacked by thieves, the chain has confirmed.
The pharmacy, located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood, went viral last October when videos emerged of it totally stripped of all its products after being targeted by a teen gang.
Staff claim more than 45 schoolkids would go into the store and steal chips and drinks in the morning, after their classes and late at night. It will close on February 29, according to WTTG-TV.
This is what a lawless society looks like.
At this point, things are so bad that Walmart and Target “have begun locking up underwear and socks”
Walmart and Target have begun locking up underwear and socks – the latest items to be protected against shoplifters.
As thefts have surged over the past year, stores have been increasingly keeping items behind lock and key.
But these have tended to be electronics and toiletries.
As you can see, my headline was not an exaggeration at all.
We really are locking up underwear and socks, and we really are allowing violent criminals to go free.
The thin veneer of civilization that we all depend upon on a daily basis is breaking down all around us, and you never know when someone will totally flip their lid and start shooting at you…
A Las Vegas pastor was murdered in front of his family following a feud with a neighbor over the chickens and dogs she kept in her property
A disturbing image shows the moment Grace Point Church pastor Nick Davi, 46, was fatally shot by his female neighbor Joe Junio, 36, who also wounded his wife Sarah Davi on December 29.
The shooting happened after Junio had allegedly harassed the family for weeks, throwing feces on their backyard, flooding their home, and issuing threats after the Davis complained to the gated community’s homeowner’s association.
Now we are moving into the most chaotic election season in our entire history, and I believe that will usher in widespread chaos all over America.
Our society is not ready for the changes that are coming.
So I hope that you are doing your best to get prepared.
If you think that our country is lawless now, just wait until you see what conditions will be like a couple of years from now.
Social order is literally imploding right in front of our eyes, and life in America will never be the same as it once was.

The Death of Nationality
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Ethnicity is the basis of countries. Germany consisted of Germanic people, the German language, and German culture. The same for France. The same for England. The same for the Dutch. The same for Spain. The same for Italy.
The US was the exception. The original English population became multi-European. But a process was in place to assimilate them, and they became American. This tried and true process was abandoned in 1965 when the gates were opened to large scale non-European immigration. Shortly thereafter, the flood of illegal immigration joined the infusions of alien populations into the US. With the ethnic basis of America in decline, multiculturalism became the new value and took the place of assimilation.
Today the America of the past and the former ethnic-based European countries would be called apartheid states. Israel is allowed to have one, but no one else.
The death of Western nationalities is everywhere to be seen. A new sign is the death of national armies. The Biden regime, having driven white heterosexual males from military service by discriminating against them, now speaks of inducting immigrant-invaders in exchange for citizenship. So is Germany. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2024/01/24/germany-enlisting-foreigners-military/?expand_article=1
France, Denmark, and Slovakia already permit foreigners who are not citizens to serve in their armies. In effect, this is reliance on mercenaries and raises questions of security, motivation, and loyalty. It also raises the question of identity. What meaning does a flag have in a Tower of Babel?
A nation is more than a geographical location. `A nation exists where there is an ethnic or racial basis for unity despite class differences. This idea is so far gone in California that the state has passed a law that permits non-citizen immigrant-invaders to serve as police officers, leaving us with the anomaly of non-citizens arresting citizens. As it is the practice of the Biden regime to issue work permits to illegals, immigrant-invaders are qualified to be police officers in California. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/california-law-allows-non-us-citizens-to-become-police-officers/509-c10419f3
Compare this with the Biden Justice (sic) Department’s challenge to the Texas law that permits Texas police officers who are citizens to arrest and deport illegal aliens. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-justice-dept-sues-texas-over-immigration-law-2024-01-03/
What the comparison reveals is that citizenship no longer has any meaning. Indeed, citizenship cannot exist in a country without borders. Such a country belongs to whoever walks in.
What does it mean to have a flag and a national anthem when there is no nation? What is the meaning of “national defense” when anyone can walk in?

HUGE: Border Patrol Turns on Joe Biden, Proclaims Support for Texas National Guard
By Bonchie | 3:41 PM on January 26, 2024
The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.
Is there going to be a major confrontation on the border following Joe Biden's ultimatum that Texas National Guard forces be removed from Shelby Park and other "disputed" areas? Not if the rank-and-file of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have anything to say about it.
According to a new post put out by the Border Patrol Union, and a new report from Griff Jenkins of Fox News, Biden has lost operational control of the situation, at least in a practical sense.
The Biden administration had initially warned Texas that it had until mid-day Friday to relinquish control of Shelby Park, the nearby boat dock, and the International Bridge. That deadline has now come and gone, and instead of there being a major clash between the Border Patrol and the state-controlled soldiers on site, it appears those on the ground have already de-escalated the situation.
The Border Patrol Union ends by slamming Biden for creating the current "catastrophe" and reiterating that there will be no conflict between CBP agents and state forces. The statement is a clear signal of support for the Texas National Guard, its mission, and those leading it, including Gov. Greg Abbott.
Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.
We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abbott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.
Furthering the division between the Border Patrol and the White House was a senior CBP official who said they have no plans to follow through on removing the razor wire put up by Texas. Biden has completely lost whatever leverage he had.
This is an incredible turn of events. I don't know if "mutiny" is the right word here, but clearly, Biden has no way to enforce his threats at this point. Border Patrol agents are not going to go along with it and short of using the Insurrection Act to mobilize the U.S. Army (and they likely wouldn't act either), this represents a major roadblock to the president's attempts to further destroy the Southern border.
We are in uncharted territory right now, and I'm certainly thankful cooler heads have prevailed, at least at this point. Will this force Biden's hand toward some kind of renewal of enforcement of immigration laws? Surely, with his bluff having been called by his own law enforcement officials, he has to try a different approach. Never underestimate the propensity of Washington politicians to keep making the wrong decisions, though.

The United States is planning to station nuclear weapons in Britain for the first time in 15 years to counter threats from Russia, it emerged last night.
Pentagon documents reveal the US is intending to place warheads three times the strength of the Hiroshima bomb on UK soil. Moscow said it would view the move as an 'escalation' that would be met with 'counter-measures'.
Procurement contracts for a new facility at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk show the US plans to house B61-12 gravity bombs 'imminently' at the site.
US warheads were last stationed in Britain in 2008, when it was judged that the Cold War threat from Russia had decreased.
The plans come as part of a Nato-wide programme aimed at developing and upgrading nuclear sites in response to rising tensions with the Kremlin.
The unredacted documents from the US Department of Defence's procurement database show the Pentagon has ordered equipment, including ballistic shields, for Lakenheath, and state that construction of a housing facility for US soldiers at the base will start in June.
Nuclear weapons were stationed at RAF Lakenheath during the Cold War. Activists held protests outside the site in 2022 when it was reported that US warheads could be stationed there.
Russian foreign ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova said: 'In the context of the transition of the United States and Nato to an openly confrontational course of inflicting a 'strategic defeat' on Russia, this practice and its development force us to take compensating countermeasures to reliably protect the security interests of our country and its allies.'
The Pentagon insisted the documents 'are not predictive of, nor are they intended to disclose any specific posture or basing details'.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'It remains a longstanding UK and NATO policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at a given location.'

UPDATE 6:24 AM Saturday -- CREW ABANDONS SHIP -- SINKING . . .REPORTS: British Oil Tanker Hit By Yemen; "Massive Fire, Sinking"
World Hal Turner 26 January 2024 Hits: 26791
Numerous reports are streaming in claiming a British Oil Tanker vessel named the "Marlin Luanda" (file photo above) was hit by Yemen missile(s) or Drone(s). The main cargo hold has allegedly exploded, creating a "massive fire" aboard the vessel and in the surrounding water. The reports also claim the ship is "sinking."
UPDATE 9:15 PM EST --
Despite valiant efforts to put out the fires and save the ship, reports are now coming in CLAIMING the ship is sinking and the crew has had to abandon ship.
UPDATE 6:24 AM EST (SATURDAY)--
Images are emerging of the British ship on fire immediately after the missile hit and later, after the cargo hull exploded. It looks bad. I think the ship is already starting to sink, as seen in photo two below. The nose of the ship seems to be significantly lower in the water than the rear of the ship:

EXCLUSIVE Inside NIH virus lab in Montana - that has eerie ties to Wuhan - where US scientists inject pigs and monkeys with EBOLA and other dangerous bio-agents
Photos obtained by a watchdog group show experiments performed on animals
NIH lab in Montana was previously found to have been experimenting with SARS
REVEALED: NIH lab experimented with coronaviruses from Wuhan in 2018
By Alexa Lardieri U.S. Deputy Health Editor Dailymail.Com
Published: 09:57 EST, 27 January 2024 | Updated: 09:57 EST, 27 January 2024
Photos and videos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show US government-funded researchers experimenting on animals at a controversial lab in Montana where risky virus research is carried out.
Images and video footage obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and shared exclusively with this website show researchers sedating monkeys and pigs and giving them injections, as well as piglets housed in small and unsanitary cages.
While there is no suggestion any of the footage shows illegal activity, it gives an eerie glimpse into what goes on at the National Institutes of Health's Rocky Mountain Lab (RML), which has come under scrutiny in recent months.
Last year, this website revealed that RML in Montana had been experimenting with SARS-like viruses a year before the Covid pandemic, and while that research has stopped, current projects involving other deadly pathogens with the potential to spark a new pandemic are still being carried out at the lab.
These include injecting pigs with Ebola and infecting monkeys with Covid-19 and studying how they react to Hemorrhagic Fever, which involves vomiting blood, internal bleeding, bleeding in the brain and from the eyes, nose and mouth.
The footage was obtained through a FOIA request by the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), which has campaigned against risky virus research and cruel animal experiments.
The RML was first revealed to be experimenting with deadly pathogens in WCW's first batch of documents provided to this website last year.
Previous documents from WCW revealed that in 2018, NIH researchers infected bats at the Rocky Mountain Lab with a 'SARS-like' virus as part of a collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is at the center of the Covid cover-up scandal.
They showed US taxpayer money was used to experiment with coronaviruses from the Chinese lab thought to be the source of the Covid pandemic more than a year before the global outbreak.
The NIH, under Dr Anthony Fauci's leadership, infected 12 Egyptian fruit bats with a 'SARS-like' virus called WIV1 at RML.
The WIV1-coronavirus was shipped from the Wuhan lab the FBI believes caused the Covid pandemic and was tested on bats acquired from a 'roadside' Maryland zoo.
The research determined the novel virus could not cause a 'robust infection,' but is more evidence of ties between the US government and the Wuhan lab, as well as the funding of dangerous virus research across the globe.
Following the WCW's investigation and DailyMail.com's reporting, Republican Senators Joni Ernst, from Iowa, and Eric Schmitt, from Missouri, sent a letter to the NIH demanding 'to learn more about potentially risky research' carried out by scientists at RML.
Most recently, Sen Ernst wrote another letter, along with Rep Mike Gallagher, to the Pentagon demanding a review of the $50million in grants the US is sending to Chinese pandemic research institutions, including those based in Wuhan.
The senator said in a statement: 'Taxpayers deserve to know how much of their money is being shipped to China and why Washington continues collecting and creating deadly super viruses — both of which could pose threats to our national security.'
While the 'SARS-like' virus research has stopped, current projects involving other deadly pathogens with the potential to spark a new pandemic are still being carried out at the lab.
As part of WCW's current lawsuit, the NIH was compelled to send the group records of its experiments taking place at RML.
The documents reveal NIH scientists proposed infecting two- to three-week old piglets with reston virus (REBOV), a family of pathogens that could cause Ebola, a virus with a death rate of up to 90 percent, for a project to take place between 2017 and 2020.
The project, 'The role of Arterivirus co-infection in the pathogenesis of Reston Ebola Virus in swine', was to test how the co-infection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and REBOV increased the virus' transmissibility and severity.
The experiment was to be carried out in two parts, first infecting the pigs with REBOV via their noses - as seen in photos.
On day three and between days five and 10 after inoculation, four animals were to be euthanized so necropsies could be performed.
The remaining animals were to be euthanized on day 28. Then, researchers proposed inoculating pigs with PRRSV and REBOV several days later to observe their behavior and take vitals then euthanize them on day 28.
While experimental 'manipulations' were to take place while the pigs were under anesthesia, the researchers said, 'Since we are evaluating these animals as potential models of disease progression, we are unable to alleviate the signs of disease.'
Symptoms of these diseases include fever, breathing problems, weight loss, diarrhea, excessive or internal bleeding, coughing up or vomiting blood and neurological disorders that could be fatal.
Researchers said: 'The illness experienced by animals exposed to these viruses must not be treated with analgesics because treatment will interfere with studying the disease manifestation and ultimate outcomes of infection.'
In additional documents obtained by WCW, scientists proposed experiments between 2019 and 2022 on non-human primate that included infecting monkeys with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, a tick-borne virus that causes a life-threatening fever, muscle and joint pain, liver and kidney failure or pulmonary failure.
The proposal said: 'In previous studies animals were scored for... reduced movement in cage and edema that on rare instances was of severity sufficient to impair function of internal organs such as the lungs and intestines.
'Since the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of DNA vaccine candidates against CCHFV and contains necessary irrelevant DNA control group it is expected that some or animals will develop clinical signs and may suffer pain and distress.
'The illness experienced by the animals exposed to CCHFV must not be treated with analgesics because treatment could interfere with the disease manifestation and the outcome of vaccination.'
A third proposal for experiments between 2020 and 2023 was titled 'Nonhuman primate model development for the novel coronavirus emerging in Wuhan, China.'
The aim was to evaluate up to three species of nonhuman primates as potential animal models for Covid-19. For each species, one group of eight animals would be inoculated with a high dose of the virus via the eyes, nose or mouth - as seen in photos.
The primates were to be evaluated and have their vitals taken and on day three, four would be euthanized. The remaining were to be monitored for disease progression.
The proposal read: 'Infection with 2019-nCoV may cause mild to severe disease in nonhuman primates. Signs of illness may include fever, malaise, fatigue cough and heavy breathing potentially resulting in acute respiratory distress; the infection may be fatal.
'However, in this study we are unable to alleviate the disease manifestations potentially associated with 2019-nCoV infection as treatment would interfere with the outcome of the study.'
Justin Goodman, the senior vice president of the White Coat Waste Project told DailyMail.com: 'Our successful lawsuit has pierced the veil of secrecy around the NIH’s dangerous, wasteful, and cruel maximum pain animal experiments with deadly bioagents that have up to 100 percent kill rates in humans.
'We’ve uncovered how NIH gain-of-function researchers linked to EcoHealth and the Wuhan lab import primates to the Rocky Mountain Lab from Fauci’s Monkey Island in South Carolina, infect them with viruses including Ebola and COVID, and then completely withhold pain relief while the animals suffer excruciating deaths.
'Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent in barbaric NIH animal labs that can cause a devastating lab leak and pandemic right here in the US.'

Astounding Changes
By Hal Lindsey
Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body makes dramatic changes. But near the end, the release of an array of hormones puts those changes into hyperdrive. The changes come faster and with ever more profound results as her body prepares to deliver a child into the world. It is no accident that Jesus compared the state of the world in the last days to a woman at the last stages of pregnancy. In both instances, astounding changes take place at an ever-quickening pace.
Knowing that it’s all part of God’s plan does not lessen the pain of childbirth, but it gives the woman context. It tells her there is an end in sight — something glorious and beautiful.
By the time labor begins, the woman is already fatigued from sleepless nights. Her back aches from carrying this large extra burden in her body. She may suffer heartburn, shortness of breath, or any number of other discomforts as a result of the pregnancy. The knowledge that childbirth sometimes ends in tragedy adds to the stress. A first-time mom has heard stories about labor pains and actual birth, but she can only guess what it will feel like for her.
Jesus likened the events of the tribulation (also known as Daniel’s 70th week) to labor. This fits with 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (NKJV) which says, “For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.” “Peace and safety” will be the promise of Antichrist, and unlike the promises of most world leaders, people will believe him. According to Daniel 9, the tribulation period begins with Antichrist confirming a peace covenant with Israel.
We’re not there. In fact, if you are born again in Christ, you will be raptured before that event takes place. But what about the time before the tribulation? What about the changes that take place before actual labor pains? I believe that’s where we are right now. Heartburn, sleeplessness, and rapid change are all happening at this moment. Today’s Christians won’t be here for the worst of it, but we’re seeing a world in preparation for tribulation, much like a body preparing for labor.
So, what do we do? We do what Jesus said to do in Luke 21:28. We look up. We lift our heads. Why? Because redemption draws near. Christians have already been redeemed personally, but God’s going to redeem His creation. He’s going to radically remake the world.
And while we know that earthly pregnancies sometimes end in tragedy, this one will not. God has promised. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
With our future assured, some take the attitude that it’s time to kick back and relax. But just the opposite is true. In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Those words are for all Christians of all time. They are for us. He did not say to retreat when things get bad. He said keep on preaching the Gospel all the way to the end.
The astounding changes in our world make for troubling times. But we know the context. There’s a new world coming!
In the meantime, He has called us to be “fishers of men.” Our fishing hook is shaped like a life preserver. The fishing line we use is a rescue rope. And in troubled waters, there is much to do because the shipwrecks are many. As the old hymn says, “Throw out the lifeline.”

Through Many Tribulations
By Hal Lindsey
One-night last month, one of the world’s most famous landmarks, the Colosseum in Rome, glowed red. According to Vatican News, officials bathed the ancient arena in red light “as a sign of solidarity with all those who are persecuted for their faith.”
Before now, had you heard about that? Usually, western media outlets look for stories with dramatic imagery. The Colosseum’s famous silhouette, bathed in red against a stark, black backdrop, would seem to fit the bill. They also love a story with a good twist. Officials used the Colosseum, once a symbol of Christian persecution, to strike a blow against such persecution. But despite an interesting, ready-made story, the media paid little attention.
To cover it would mean admitting that there is a story here. And once they admit that, they will have to explain that the story is huge and ongoing — especially in Nigeria. Giulio Meotti, writing for the Gatestone Institute, said, “The West does not seem to care about the ongoing Islamic terrorist genocide on Africa’s biggest Christian population in Nigeria.”
Terrorism usually gets the frontpage treatment. Genocide makes this story global and historic. But western media elites could not care less about Africa. The reasons are more complex than simple racism, but you can’t help wondering if that’s not part of it.
In one February attack, radical Islamic terrorists went through 15 villages in Nigeria. They murdered townspeople, burned churches, and razed the homes of known Christians. Several sources quote a witness as saying, “Despite several calls to the governor and his deputy, and other security apparatus, the government remained silent as the atrocities continued. The Fulani (a west African Muslim people) were able to carry out their deadly attack. They stayed for hours in the vicinity, moving at will, unchallenged.”
Wole Soyinka, a Nigerian Nobel laureate for literature, called the Islamic terrorists a “horde.” He said their goal is to “Islamize the nation.” Bishop Hyacinth Egbebo, a Nigerian Catholic, said, “If Nigeria falls to Islamic extremists, all of Africa will be at risk.”
It would be a mistake to think of Nigeria as insignificant or far away. Nigerians are as important in God’s eyes as Americans. But even from a selfish point of view, remember that what happens there does not stay there!
Meotti wrote, “The West truly needs to care about the daily carnage suffered by this poor, black, Christian and abandoned population. Wole Soyinka's ‘horde’ will not be confined to the Nigerian borders, but will try to strike Western Europe as well.”
Not long ago, a mob in Vietnam attacked two dozen Christians. They were new converts from a group known as Hmong. CBN News wrote, “Their conversion provoked the village chief who threatened to expel the believers from the community if they didn’t renounce their new-found faith. The Hmong Christians refused to recant, prompting a mob to attack them.”
After a period of relative tolerance, Christian persecution in Vietnam is on the rise. In fact, it’s on the rise everywhere.
In Turkey, an American pastor, Andrew Brunson, faces life in prison. He’s accused of “terrorism.” You’re probably wondering what act of “terrorism” this Christian minister could have been up to. The answer is that he shared the Gospel. That means in today’s Turkey, for a Christian minister to read John 3:16 is considered an act of terror.
Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan is playing a game of global power politics. Many have suggested that Pastor Brunson is merely a pawn in that game. But it’s more than that. Erdogan could have chosen any American as a hostage. He chose a Christian minister because he fears the Gospel. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (NASB) To a despot like Erdogan, those are the scariest words in the world.
Attacks on freedom of religion and belief — especially Christian belief — are escalating around the world. Sometimes it’s the persecution of a group, and sometimes it’s a lone individual.
Right now in Nigeria, a girl named Liah Sharibu is being held by the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram. The terrorists abducted 110 girls in February. After intense government negotiation, they returned 104. Five died in captivity. Only Liah remains in terrorist hands.
One of the returning girls explained that Boko Haram refused to release Liah because she would not renounce her faith in Christ. “She was held back,” the released girl said. “We were freed because we are Muslim girls and they didn’t want us to suffer.” Another girl released by Boko Haram relayed that the terrorists said they would keep Liah “until she converted.”
Imagine how Liah’s parents feel. How would you feel? Her father, Nata Sharibu, told a Nigerian radio station, “I am very sad, but I am also jubilating, too, because my daughter did not denounce Christ.”
Salvation is free. Jesus paid the whole price. But in this world, bearing His name carries its own cost. In Acts 14:22, Paul the great teacher of grace, gave this warning to the Christians of Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”
It reminds me of the third verse of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace.” “Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home!”
That amazing grace abides with Liah Sharibu and Andrew Brunson. It abides with millions around the world facing various levels of persecution because of their stands for Christ. If you are His, it also abides with you.
According to the Bible, as we approach the end of the age, persecution of believers will increase. But don’t despair. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (NASB)

Though the Vision Tarry
By Hal Lindsey
Habakkuk 2:3 gives a beautiful promise about those things God revealed to His prophets. He told Habakkuk that even if the thing revealed does not happen quickly, rest assured that it will happen eventually. The Lord said, “The vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come.”
The vision God had given Habakkuk was not all sunshine and light. The prophet was horrified by a vision of the dreaded Babylonians striking Israel, even though he acknowledged that it’s what they deserved. God also gave Habakkuk a vision of Babylon’s destruction and of a glorious future for Israel. The first two events came true within a few decades. The last promise awaits complete fulfillment, but it also “hastens toward the goal.”
The point is, Habakkuk’s vision contained both promise and warning. God always keeps His word. For some, that means dread. Terrible things are coming on this world. Even now, we see the beginning of them. But He assures us of ultimate victory. Hebrews 10:37 applies the verse from Habakkuk to the return of Christ. “For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come.”
God tells His children that we have not been appointed to wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9). He will rescue us from the coming tribulation. In the meantime, suffering should not surprise us. In Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, “You will be hated by all on account of My name.” That’s no fun. But in Revelation 2:10, Jesus said something to the church at Smyrna which should give us great comfort today. “Do not fear what you are about to suffer.”
We should not be surprised by suffering, but neither should we dread it.
Here in the early part of the 21st century, most of the world looks to the future with a kind of helpless anxiety. Many things are going wrong. Disaster looms from a myriad of directions. Planet earth seems to have passed a tipping point. A cascade of tragedies threatens every person on earth.
Texas recently experienced the kind of problems we can expect in a deteriorating world. Most Texans suffered a lack of electric power, and then they suffered a lack of water. A high percentage of Texas uses electricity for heat. That meant experiencing frigid temperatures without furnaces. Ironically, power shortages caused by cold weather meant that vast amounts of frozen food thawed in grocery store freezers. Icy roads prevented trucks from resupplying those stores. These circumstances combined to force stores to throw away food in the middle of a food shortage.
The world sees its future in this. When we talk about deteriorating infrastructure, we’re talking about deteriorating lifelines of electricity, water, food, and other materials. We are becoming more and more dependent on these lifelines even as they become less reliable. Our government chooses to cut off fuel supplies. We are moving from dependable sources of energy to undependable ones. Water is becoming more scarce and its transfer less reliable. People wonder when the next shoe will drop. According to the Bible, it won’t just be a single shoe dropping, but a storm of them.
Thankfully, the Bible doesn’t speak of these calamities as a terrible end, but as a glorious beginning. The coming of Jesus is on the horizon. He will rapture His Church before the seven years of tribulation. At the end of those seven years, He will come back to earth to rule in perfect righteousness. The bad things will not last. But He shall reign forever and ever!
Though He tarries, wait for Him for He will surely come! In the meantime, even in hard times, He never leaves us. He does not forsake those who put their trust in Him.

More Americans Preparing For The Collapse Of Society
By Michael Snyder/Economic Collapse Blog January 23, 2024
Are you convinced that we are headed for societal collapse? If so, you are definitely not alone. Survey after survey has shown that faith in all of our major institutions is dropping, and there is a growing consensus that very challenging times are ahead of us.
Here in 2024, we will be facing the most chaotic election season in our entire history, multiple wars are erupting all over the planet, economic problems are rapidly growing, destructive natural disasters are becoming more frequent, global authorities are warning us to brace ourselves for the next pandemic, and our cities are being absolutely overwhelmed by endless waves of new migrants.
The stage is set for a societal implosion of epic proportions, and many Americans are feverishly preparing for a coming collapse that they believe is inevitable.
For a long time, many people had faith that the government would be able to keep society stable, but now that has changed. In fact, one recent survey discovered that a whopping 71.2 percent of all Americans "have no faith in the U.S. government to save them or prevent a doomsday event"...
According to a survey of 6,200 Americans conducted by BonusFinder.com, 71.2 percent of Americans say they have no faith in the U.S. government to save them or prevent a doomsday event. Even more unnerving, many respondents believe Doomsday could come within the next year.
If you actually believe that the government will be there to rescue you when things really start hitting the fan, you are just being delusional.
If it was equally divided up among the entire population, the emergency supplies that the government has on hand would last less than a day.
Many Americans are realizing that they will be forced to rely on themselves as society collapses, and so an increasing percentage of the population is spending significant money on emergency preparedness...
Last April, the financial-services firm Finder found that the number of Americans who said they'd recently spent money on emergency preparedness jumped from 20% in 2020 to 29% in 2023. They spent an average of $150 on items such as nonperishable food, medical supplies, and cases of water. Today you can't turn on a streaming platform without catching recommendations for popular survivalist reality shows such as "Alone" or "Naked and Afraid," and on social media, homesteading and disaster-prepping influencers have amassed millions of followers across various platforms.
Disaster preparedness is on the rise, in large part, because disasters are as well: from the supply-chain shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns to the climate crisis, from wars in Ukraine and Gaza to tech-driven loneliness, from runaway disinformation to intractable political polarization. More people are asking: Am I better off being hyperdependent on the global industrial economy? Would it be safer to grow my own food, store my own water, and not depend on complex systems I don't understand?
I am glad that more people are waking up and getting prepared.
But spending a couple hundred dollars on some emergency preparedness items simply is not going to be enough to survive what is eventually coming.
In Missouri, one woman named Rowan MacKenzie has literally spent $90,000 to prepare her family for what she believes is ahead of us...
A woman who has built a doomsday bunker says the door will remain closed to anyone outside her home, including family.
Rowan MacKenzie, from Missouri, who became a social media phenomenon after revealing she's been prepping her home for 12 years, believes it's necessary to prepare for the end of the world.
She previously hit the headlines after revealing she spent over $90,000 on her hidden bunker stockpile.
The 38-year-old began stocking up her cupboards 13 years ago and initially, bought lifelong essentials, such as beans and rice, which she taught herself to preserve through trial and error.
Do you agree with her approach?
When things get really bad, will you shut your door to those that are requesting help?
Of course there are many that will just try to take whatever they need. Crime rates are already spiking all over the nation, and violent predators are seemingly everywhere. Earlier this week, Zero Hedge posted an excellent article about the vast hordes of psychopaths that are coming out of the woodwork these days...
Discussions on collapse often turn to signs and signals - The economy, politics and social tensions have become increasingly unstable for many years now, and much like adding more and more weight to a man standing on a frozen lake, eventually the ice is going to break. The question is, how do we know when that moment will be?
As cultural systems begins to dissolve due to political clashes and economic decline the real evil tends to slither out of the woodwork. It happens slowly at first, then all at once. A sure sign of accelerating collapse is the growing prevalence of psychopaths and psychopathic behavior in the open.
The US appears to have entered the middle stages of such a collapse with many sociopaths and psychopaths beginning to feel that they might be able to act out their worst impulses without consequences. They are beginning to test the waters to see what they can get away with.
Those paragraphs really resonated with me, because they are so true.
I am sure that you have noticed the same thing. Evil is literally growing all around us, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
And I am entirely convinced that 2024 is going to be a historic turning point.
Are you ready for the tremendous chaos that is coming?
If you have not figured out where you want to be located during the chaotic years that are ahead, that is the first thing that you need to do.
Once you have settled on a location, then you need to store up enough food and supplies for yourself and for everyone that will be depending upon you for as long as you plan to stay alive.
Of course you will also need to determine how you will protect all of your food and supplies as well.
This is not a game.
The collapse of society really is coming, and most of the population will find themselves completely and utterly unprepared when it finally happens.

Black Swan 2024?
By Hal Lindsey
Human beings mostly learn about the future by remembering the past. Whether five minutes ago or five millennia ago, history gives us patterns that we expect to continue. For Christians, history’s great pattern is that God is always right. That means we can completely trust His word. But both believers in Jesus and unbelievers expect to see the sun rise tomorrow morning primarily because it has always risen in the past. Humans can’t see beyond “now,” but we do make good guesses.
We predict the movement of heavenly bodies based on their past movements. That’s proven to be quite reliable. We expect the stock market to move according to forces that we can see and understand. That one is hit and miss. But, based on the past, we feel entirely certain that there will at least be a stock market tomorrow — though that could be wrong. We don’t know how well crops will do, but we know things planted and watered in the right soil and the right climate will tend to grow. We sow, and we reap.
All this works well… until it doesn’t. Sometimes something comes along that no one (or almost no one) predicted. We call it a Black Swan Event.
The idea started with a 2nd-century Roman poet known as Juvenal. He characterized something as being “as rare upon the earth as a black swan.” At that time, no one believed black swans existed. In English, “rare as a black swan” came to be a metaphor for something that never happens. In his 1902 book, Proverb Lore, Edward Hulme said people used the phrase “rare as a black swan,” to express “the greatest impossibility the speaker could imagine.”
Then, in 1697, Europeans finally saw actual black swans on the continent of Australia. And the meaning of “black swan” changed. It came to mean something difficult or impossible to have foreseen. According to dictionary.com, it means, “an occurrence or phenomenon that comes as a surprise because it was not predicted or was hard to predict.”
All this comes to mind because of something CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge said on Face the Nation, Christmas Eve. “2024 may be the year of a black swan event,” she said. “This is a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict. There are a number of concerns that I have that factor into that. Not only this sort of enduring, heightened threat level that we’re facing, [but] the wars in Israel, also Ukraine. And we’re so divided in this country in ways that we haven’t seen before. And I think that just creates fertile ground for our adversaries like North Korea, China, and Iran. That’s what concerns me most.”
You’re not going out on a limb to say, “2024 may be the year of a black swan event.” Any year might have such an event. But she’s right that the United States is particularly vulnerable right now. It is deeply divided. Its military has been weakened by poorly directed spending and woke political considerations. Enemies have new tools with which to harm us. Also, the rage against America has grown substantially in just the last few months. Heightened rage often brings with it an increase in the enemy’s determination, perseverance, and in the cruelty of their tactics.
But the greatest danger facing America is its arrogant dismissal of the God whose blessings it daily squanders. Vast portions of the population spend their blessings from God on activities that demean humanity and exalt evil. In this, the US is joined by most of the world. At a time when the human race should be humbled before an unprecedented potential for destruction, nations arrogantly spit in God’s face at every opportunity.
If you are a Christian, walk close to Him this new year. Walk in the richness of His loving presence. Trust Him. Rejoice in Him. If you are not a Christian believer, meaning you don’t yet know Him as Savior, please understand that He will enter your life when you invite Him in. This is that time. Don’t wait. Invite Him now.

US stages retaliatory airstrikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, officials say
U.S. personnel suffered brain injuries in a ballistic missile attack Sunday.
By Luis Martinez and Anne Flaherty
January 23, 2024, 4:56 PM
The U.S. on Tuesday staged airstrikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq in retaliation for ballistic missiles fired Sunday against Al-Assad airbase that left four U.S. personnel with traumatic brain injuries, two U.S. officials said.
"Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted necessary and proportionate strikes on three facilities used by the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia group and other Iran-affiliated groups in Iraq. These precision strikes are in direct response to a series of escalatory attacks against U.S. and Coalition personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-sponsored militias," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
"The President and I will not hesitate to take necessary action to defend them and our interests,"" he said. "We do not seek to escalate conflict in the region. We are fully prepared to take further measures to protect our people and our facilities. We call on these groups and their Iranian sponsors to immediately cease these attacks."
Sunday’s attack on U.S. troops at the sprawling Iraqi airbase in western Iraq involved 17 ballistic missiles and rockets and was launched from inside Iraq, according to three U.S. officials.
While the majority of the projectiles were blocked, two ballistic missiles were able to get through U.S. air defenses, the officials said.
The Pentagon said that the attack resulted in structural damage to “noncritical facilities” and that four U.S. service members had returned to their duties after having been evaluated for traumatic brain injuries (TBI), an Iraqi official was also injured in the blasts.
U.S. officials anticipate the possibility that additional service members could step forward with TBI symptoms.
There have been more than 150 rocket and drone attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria since mid-October carried out by Iranian-backed militias claiming they are in support of Palestinians in the Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza.
But their use of ballistic missiles, as happened this weekend, was seen as an escalation.
There are still about 2,500 American troops serving in Iraq and 900 in Syria to prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State.
However, the continued presence of American troops in Iraq was cast into question by Iraq’s parliament shortly after a U.S. drone strike on January 4 that killed a top leader of one of the Iranian-backed militia groups responsible for the attacks on U.S. forces.
That drone strike and other retaliatory strikes carried out inside Iraq and Syria have so far not deterred the groups from continuing to launch the attacks.
The attacks are a sign of rising tensions in the region for the United States which has also carried out retaliatory strikes in Yemen targeting Houthi militants responsible for more than 30 attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Most recently on Monday, the United States and United Kingdom carried out another major strike against Houthi locations associated with the shipping attacks.
It marked the eighth retaliatory airstrike carried out against Houthi targets since Jan. 11 which U.S. officials say have degraded the Houthis ability to carry out the attacks even as they have continued to do so.

Nuclear-armed Israel's war in Gaza keeps world on edge of doomsday - Doomsday Clock
The clock in 1947 to warn the public about how close humankind is to destroying the world.
By REUTERS
JANUARY 23, 2024 17:48 Updated: JANUARY 23, 2024 18:04
Atomic scientists on Tuesday kept their "Doomsday Clock" set as close to midnight as ever before, citing Russia's actions on nuclear weapons amid its invasion of Ukraine, nuclear-armed Israel's Gaza war and worsening climate change as factors driving the risk of global catastrophe.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, as they did last year, set the clock at 90 seconds to midnight - the theoretical point of annihilation. Scientists set the clock based on "existential" risks to Earth and its people: nuclear threat, climate change, and disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and new biotechnology.
"Conflict hot spots around the world carry the threat of nuclear escalation, climate change is already causing death and destruction, and disruptive technologies like AI and biological research advance faster than their safeguards," Rachel Bronson, the bulletin's president and CEO, told Reuters, adding that keeping unchanged from the prior year is "not an indication that the world is stable."
The Chicago-based nonprofit created the clock in 1947 to warn the public about how close humankind is to destroying the world.
Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, set to reach its second anniversary next month, has escalated tensions with the West to their most dangerous levels since the Cold War.
"A durable end to Russia's war in Ukraine seems distant, and the use of nuclear weapons by Russia in that conflict remains a serious possibility. In the past year Russia has sent numerous worrying nuclear signals," Bronson said.
Bronson cited Russian President Vladimir Putin's February 2023 decision to suspend Russian participation in the New START treaty with the United States that limited the strategic nuclear arsenals of the two countries. The United States and Russia between them hold nearly 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, enough to destroy the planet many times over.
Bronson additionally cited Putin's March 2023 announcement of Russia's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus and the Russian parliament's October 2023 passage of a law withdrawing ratification of the global treaty banning nuclear weapons tests. Russian analyst Sergei Karaganov last year also spoke of the need to threaten nuclear strikes in Europe in order to intimidate and "sober up" Moscow's enemies.
Does Israel's war with Hamas come into play?
Israel has been at war with Hamas since the Palestinian terrorist group, based in Gaza, launched attacks in southern Israel in October 2023 that, according to Israeli tallies, killed about 1,200 people. Israeli military strikes have killed more than 25,000 people, according to Gaza health authorities.
"As a nuclear state, Israel's actions are clearly relevant to the Doomsday Clock discussion. Of particular worry is that the conflict might escalate more broadly in the region creating a larger conventional war and drawing in more nuclear powers or near-nuclear powers," Bronson said.
When the clock was first created, the greatest danger arose from nuclear weapons. Climate change was weighed as a factor for the first time in 2007.
"The world in 2023 entered into uncharted territory as it suffered its hottest year on record and global greenhouse gas emissions continued to rise," Bronson said. "Both global and North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures broke records, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest daily extent since the advent of satellite data."
Bronson said 2023 also was a record-breaking year for clean energy, with $1.7 trillion in new investments. Offsetting this, however, were fossil fuel investments of nearly $1 trillion, Bronson added.
"This illustrates that while promising, current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are grossly insufficient to avoid dangerous human and economic impacts from climate change, which disproportionately affect the poorest people in the world," Bronson said.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded in 1945 by scientists including Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. It annually sets the clock, relying on a board of experts on nuclear technology and climate science. The clock was first unveiled during the Cold War tensions that followed World War Two.

FBI Orders Banks to Flag Purchases Tied to Religion or MAGA
CLICK HERE FOR COMMENTS
The FBI, U.S. Treasury & Joe Biden have even weaponized Americans’ own banks against US, ordering them to search & flag people for things like reading religious texts (eg Bible) or having MAGA in description of payments. I join Alison Steinberg on OAN to sound the alarm.
A House panel is investigating allegations that the federal government flagged financial transactions involving terms like “Trump” or “MAGA.”
The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government claims financial institutions were advised to flag transactions with these phrases.
Transactions at stores like Cabela’s or Dick’s Sporting Goods, or those involving religious texts like the Bible, may have also been flagged.
The committee, led by Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, seeks interviews with Peter Sullivan from the FBI and Noah Bishoff from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
FinCEN reportedly sent guidelines to financial institutions on “typologies” of interest to the government, including terms like “TRUMP” and “MAGA” for transaction monitoring.
FinCEN warned of “extremism” indicators, including transportation charges and purchases of books or media containing extremist views.
FinCEN also distributed slides showing merchandise codes potentially used by violent extremists, such as codes for firearms or sporting goods.
Rep. Jim Jordan highlighted the government’s flagging of transactions involving terms like “MAGA” and “TRUMP,” as well as purchases of religious texts or from specific stores.
The Treasury Department declined to comment on these allegations.
The letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed that Bank of America provided the FBI with a list of individuals transacting in Washington, D.C., around January 5-7, 2021, without legal process.
FBI personnel reportedly contacted Bank of America with specific search queries, including transactions in Washington D.C. and purchases related to firearms or travel.
The FBI’s Office of Private Sector prepared a report characterizing certain political beliefs as indicative of domestic violent extremism.
These beliefs included issues surrounding firearm legislation, immigration restrictions, and discontent with COVID-19 measures.
The sweeping characterization of political beliefs and constitutionally protected speech as extremism indicators is likened to the FBI’s past characterization of traditional Catholics as potential terrorists.
For more info and the complete story with the bullet points above – see: IJR
The feds flagged Americans’ bank records for purchases involving “MAGA,” “Trump,” “Bible,” and Bass Pro Shop. The @FBI is the Stasi. The country cannot continue with this level of political weaponization. Defund the FBI – Steve Friend
The FBI has been exposed once again for targeting conservatives, this time obtaining bank records and flagging purchases labeled “MAGA” or “Trump.” The FBI also screened BIBLE purchases. This unconstitutional spying by the FBI MUST stop. Read: ACLJ
Have you ever shopped at Cabela’s or bought a Bible? Your transactions may have been flagged for the FBI. – Fox News linked

Flash flooding sparks emergency in San Diego, California after 4 inches of rain in 6 hours – Cars swept away in Baja California, Mexico
Jan 24, 2024
Flash flooding has sparked an emergency declaration in San Diego after four inches of rain fell in six hours on Monday.
San Diego mayor Todd Gloria declared a state of emergency after homes were inundated and cars were overturned as torrential rain swept through southern California over a roughly six-hour period on Monday.
Flood waters swept away vehicles and caused cars to pile on top of each other, while several feet of water inundated the Mountain View, Shelltown and Southcrest neighbourhoods, as well as multiple highways.
Meanwhile, three inches of rain fell in National City, while San Diego International Airport was hit with two inches of rain – the fifth-highest single-day total for any time of year since the National Weather Service began tracking rainfall totals in 1850, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The San Diego Fire Department performed over 20 emergency rescue operations along the San Diego and Tijuana rivers, with at least eight migrants rescued after they were endangered by the floodwaters of the Tijuana River Valley on the US side, authorities said.
Hundreds of residents in Southcrest also had to be rescued by firefighters as standing water quickly surrounded their apartment complex, according to authorities. No injuries were reported.
Mayor Gloria said a high school in San Diego was being used as a temporary shelter after about 100 homes were in some way affected by the flooding.
Sean Mahoney, regional CEO for the American Red Cross Southern California Region, added that the shelter would be able to house 375 people, providing hot meals and mental health support.
Two homeless centres have also been relocated.
Further up north, the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management issued an evacuation warning near Topanga Canyon effective through Tuesday morning due to possible mud or debris flow.
Mayor Gloria has urged residents to stay off the roads amid the severe weather, which has also caused schools in La Mesa and Spring Valley to close.
“I strongly urge residents to please avoid any flooded areas and any unnecessary travel,” he said in a statement.
Mayor Gloria added that while flooding was “predicted”, the short amount of time that the rain fell in was a “surprise.”
“This weather event was predicted, in terms of rain, but the amount of rain in the short amount of time was a bit of a surprise to, I think, everybody,” he said at a news conference on Tuesday.
Residents were also left in shock by the damage caused to the city in such a short space of time. Eddie Ochoa told the Associated Press he and his sister went out for breakfast on Monday morning and returned to find their entire block was flooded and his sister’s parked car had been washed away.
“All that happened within an hour,” Mr Ochoa said. He added that they later found his sister’s car about three miles down the street.
“It’s never been that bad, ever. It’s crazy,” he said.
Snowfall is also expected across large parts of California on Tuesday. An avalanche warning is in place for the backcountry in the mountains around the Lake Tahoe area, with more than a foot of snow expected in the region, according to the Sierra Avalanche Center in Truckee.
Monday’s storm came after an Arctic blast hit much of the US last week, bringing snow, flooding and freezing rain.
Dozens of people (at least 92) are believed to have died from hyperthermia or road deaths caused by the treacherous conditions.
Heavy rain causes flooding in Baja California, Mexico
Emergency service workers had a busy day in Baja California on Monday as heavy rain caused flooding in Tijuana and other parts of the northern border state.
South of Tijuana in the municipality of Playas de Rosarito, 10 people were rescued after their vehicles became submerged in water when a canal overflowed and flooded two main roads, said local Civil Protection chief Arturo García Ames.
In Tijuana, firefighters rescued a woman on Monday morning when her vehicle was swept away by floodwaters on the city’s southside.
The news website Zeta reported that people were rescued in various parts of the northern border city, where many roads were affected by flooding. Two people, one an elderly man, were rescued by firefighters when they got into trouble attempting to cross swollen streams in Tijuana.
By midday, emergency workers in the northern border city had responded to over 200 reports, Zeta said. In addition to flooding, there were reports of landslides and damaged electricity infrastructure in Tijuana.
Miguel Ceballos Ramírez, the city’s Civil Protection chief, said that students and staff were evacuated from two private schools due to flooding. The schools, Colegio Bilingüe Rey and Colegio Alamar, are located in the Alamar district of Tijuana.
The Baja California government subsequently cancelled Monday afternoon and Tuesday classes across the state.
Some houses in Tijuana were also inundated with water, including properties in the Riberas del Bosque neighborhood. A video posted to the X social media platform by NR Noticias showed residents wading through deep water filled with trash.
Municipal authorities set up two shelters for Tijuana residents who were forced to evacuate their homes. Mayor Montserrat Caballero said on Facebook that authorities were clearing “residue that obstructs the passage of water” and “working and monitoring the streets of the city.”
In another post, she assured Tijuana residents that the city’s emergency services were “active.”
Tijuana residents posted photos and videos of the flooding to social media. One showed a man using a container to remove water from a partially submerged car. Another showed a taxi being swept away by fast-moving floodwaters.
The Reforma newspaper reported that the flooding mainly affected the municipalities of Tijuana, Playas de Rosarito and Mexicali, although Ensenada and Tecate also received a significant amount of rain on Monday.
Ceballos said that 1.5 inches (almost 4 centimeters) of rain fell in Tijuana between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.
The National Meteorological Service forecast “intense rains” of 75-150 millimeters for parts of Baja California on Monday.
While flooding was the primary concern, the heavy rain also caused power outages in parts of Baja California, including Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito. Over 35,000 customers were affected, according to the Federal Electricity Commission.

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready. For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later. But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again. It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment. Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding. Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there. You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are. For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them. Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

North Korea fires cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea in latest tension-raising move by Pyongyang
By Arthur Parashar and Afp
Published: 20:35 EST, 23 January 2024 | Updated: 21:06 EST, 23 January 2024
North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea in the latest tension-raising move by the nuclear-armed state.
The missiles were launched at around 7am (10pm UK time on Tuesday) and were being analysed by South Korean and U.S. intelligence, Seoul said.
'Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today,' the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
'The detailed specifications are being closely analysed by South Korean and US intelligence authorities,' it added.
South Korea did not immediately confirm the exact number of missiles fired or their specific flight details.
The launches marked North Korea's second known launch event of the year, following a January 14 flight test-firing of the country's first solid-fuel intermediate range ballistic missile.
Those launches reflected its efforts to advance its lineup of weapons targeting U.S. military bases in Japan and Guam.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased in recent months as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to accelerate his weapons development and issue provocative threats of nuclear conflict with the United States and its Asian allies.
The United States, South Korea and Japan in response have been expanding their combined military exercises, which Kim portrays as invasion rehearsals, and sharpening their deterrence strategies built around nuclear-capable U.S. assets.
In the latest tit-for-tat, North Korea said last week that it conducted a test of a purported nuclear-capable underwater attack drone in response to a combined naval exercise by the United States, South Korea and Japan, as it continued to blame its rivals for tensions in the region.
The declaration came nine months after the despotic state first shared images of the armed underwater drones, whose nuclear capabilities have yet to be confirmed.
Kim has repeatedly defended the country's actions, stating that his regime is merely building up for a war that could 'break out at any time'.
Earlier this month, the dictator branded Seoul his 'principle enemy' - throwing the prospect of reunification into the rearview - as part of the regime's new stance toward its southern neighbour.
The North Korean leader also said Pyongyang would not recognise the two countries' de facto maritime border, the Northern Limit Line, and called for constitutional changes allowing the North to 'occupy' Seoul in war, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
In Seoul, President Yoon Suk Yeol told his cabinet that should the nuclear-armed North carry out a provocation, South Korea would hit back with a response 'multiple times stronger', pointing to his military's 'overwhelming response capabilities'.
At Pyongyang's year-end policy meetings, Kim threatened a nuclear attack on the South and called for a build-up of his country's military arsenal ahead of armed conflict he warned could 'break out any time'.
Kim also successfully put a spy satellite into orbit late last year, after receiving what Seoul said was Russian help, in exchange for arms transfers for Moscow's war in Ukraine.

Major eruption of Merapi volcano covers villages in ash – Other Indonesian volcanoes force evacuations of thousands – Panic is growing
Jan 24, 2024
Indonesia’s Mount Merapi erupted Sunday, spreading searing gas clouds and avalanches of lava down its slopes as other active volcanoes flared up across the country, forcing the evacuation of thousands.
On the densely populated island of Java, Merapi unleashed clouds of hot ash and a mixture of rock, and lava that traveled up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) down its slopes, said Agus Budi Santoso, the head of Indonesia’s Geological Disaster Technology Research and Development Center. A column of hot clouds blasted 100 meters (about 109 yards) into the air as ash blanketed several villages without casualties, he added.
Merapi is the most active out of more than 120 volcanoes across the country. Sunday’s eruption is the latest since authorities raised its alert level to the second-highest in November 2020 after sensors picked up increasing activity. Residents living on the slopes were advised to stay 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) away from the crater’s mouth and be aware of possible threats from flowing lava.
In 2010, an eruption killed 347 people and displaced 20,000 villagers.
The 2,968-meter (9,737-foot) mountain is about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Yogyakarta, an ancient center of Javanese culture and the seat of royal dynasties going back centuries. About a quarter million people live within 10 kilometers (6 miles) of the volcano.
Other volcanoes spark panic and evacuations
Several other active volcanoes also blew up this weekend, prompting authorities to evacuate thousands of residents, said Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation in a statement released on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. No casualties were reported, it said.
The agency said Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki in East Nusa Tenggara province spewed hot clouds as high as 700 meters (2,300 feet) into the air on Sunday, as more than 6,500 people fled to shelters.
Also on Sunday, Mount Marapi in West Sumatra province erupted again, its third biggest flare-up this month, albeit without discharging lava. About 500 residents living near it were evacuated. Last month, it erupted, killing 23 climbers and injuring several others.
Mount Semeru in East Java province released searing gas clouds and rivers of lava on Saturday, as did Mount Ibu on Halmahera island in North Maluku province which shot a column of hot ashes as high as 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) into the air.
In December 2021, Mount Semeru, the highest volcano on Java island, erupted, leaving 48 people dead and 36 missing.
Indonesia, an archipelago of 270 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity because it sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
The increased seismic activity as well as the current upstick in volcanic eruptions is most probably linked to the very explosive solar space weather (even if scientists continue to tell there is no link between the two!)…

Biden AGAIN Threatens Americans With F-16's Proves Globalists Desperate To Kill 2nd Amendment - A Critical Lesson From History: Never Comply Or Give Up Your Guns To Tyrants
- History is violently clear a great many tyrants rise to power only to later lose their heads
During a grief counseling session for professional censors and propagandists, The Wall Street Journal’s editor-in-chief complained to the World Economic Forum’s aspiring tyrants: “If you go back really not that long ago ... we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts, as well. If it was said in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, then that was a fact.” To the great consternation of those who believe it is their noble prerogative to manipulate the public by controlling the narrative, ordinary people are now “much more questioning” about what is reported as truth. The public’s rising discernment troubles the “ruling class.” Perhaps that is why government schools refrain from sharpening students’ critical thinking skills these days. Authoritarianism thrives amid hive-mind ignorance.
So sorry, Davos dictators, we commoners are rapidly waking up to the bitter reality that corporate news spin-doctors are just as culpable for today’s civilizational chaos as the malicious central bank money-printers, out-of-control spy agencies, and multinational corporate behemoths that have long worked together to manipulate global events. We have opened our eyes and see you for the monsters that you really are.
That’s probably why two thirds of American “elites” (and surely an even larger share of their international comrades) believe that ordinary Americans enjoy too many individual freedoms (remember when Meghan’s future ex-husband Harry called the First Amendment, “bonkers”?). The public’s “awakening” surely also explains why a string of international despots took to the dais in Davos to tell the World Economic Forum’s power-hungry master race that the greatest threat to its continued global control is…free speech. Forget WWIII, lethal pandemics, cyberattacks, a debt bomb that promises to crash the financial system, or even infrastructure-killing electromagnetic pulses from outer space. For the WEF-lords who rule and expect the planet’s powerless to obey, there is nothing more frightening than intellectual dissent and public debate.
Interestingly, that same survey documenting “elites’” disdain for personal freedom (beyond the sustained privileges of their own clique, of course) also reveals that roughly two-thirds of non-“elites” believe that centralized government control has become a serious threat to human liberty. So, the feudal aristocracy insists that the peasants have too much freedom, while the peasants are already busy beating their plowshares into swords and their pruning hooks into spears. What could possibly go wrong?
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
For a long time, it has been obvious that the critical conflict for humanity’s future will be fought not between mere nation states but rather between human beings who desire freedom and international institutions that seek totalitarian control. When Klaus Schwab argues that democratic elections will soon be replaced with artificial intelligence, prudent defenders of freedom prepare. When WEF members are so desperate to advance “climate change” communism that they demand fishing and farming be treated as “serious crimes” equal to “genocide,” rational people know that a new era of tyranny is here.
In the United States, where “freedom” is a cherished battle cry for warriors willing to sacrifice their lives for America’s founding principles, the signs of something nefarious and contrary to those principles have grown more visible. The imposing Pentagon Complex, a standing army on American soil, and a defense budget that dwarfs the rest of the world’s have all loomed in the shadow of a U.S. Constitution providing for a limited and self-balancing civilian-led government.
The formation of the FBI, CIA, and NSA (and dozens of other agencies, organizations, outside contractors, and invisible sub-groups whose expertise includes spying on American citizens) created out of whole cloth an entirely new branch of government free from legislative accountability, judicial constraint, or public scrutiny. The Federal Reserve — a private bank handed the awesome power to print and lend dollars — has transformed Americans’ common currency into a depreciating instrument for manipulating and monitoring private transactions and transferring middle class savings into the accounts of the globe’s wealthiest. The Department of Justice (in name only) protects the permanent Deep State’s friends while targeting its enemies (which is why Jeffrey Epstein’s child-sex-seeking clients remain as free as the Antifa domestic terrorists who burn down small businesses and attack civilians, while Mary McCord and other Obama-Biden bureaucratic mercenaries persecute conservatives, imprison J6 political hostages, and torment President Trump).
While both federal law and huge majorities of American citizens have demanded for decades that authorities put an end to mass illegal immigration, those same authorities conspire with corporations and upper class “elites” dependent on cheap labor to ignore the law and facilitate the worst kinds of border-related evil — organized crime, transnational terrorism, narcotics-related mass murder, and sex slave trafficking.
And while all of these threats to Americans’ natural liberties and constitutional rights have metastasized like a virulent cancer eating away at society, politicians have exacerbated Americans’ pain and suffering by entering into “free trade” deals that have enriched international conglomerates and investment houses while destroying America’s once enviable industrial and manufacturing self-sufficiency and impoverishing the country’s middle class. Any honest observer taking a hard look at this “long train of abuses” against the American people would have no trouble concluding that a confrontation is quickly coming to a head.
Puppet President Biden (whose irritability, erratic behavior, and inability to form complete sentences continue to suggest that he suffers from some form of debilitating dementia that makes him unfit for office) recently threatened American gun owners yet again by stressing that their AR-15s are no match for the military’s F-16 fighter aircraft. Putting aside the U.S. president’s oath-betraying hostility toward the Second Amendment and his psychotic zeal to use military force against the American people, his argument that civilian gun ownership is insufficient to thwart government tyranny puts a rather damning hole in his simultaneous proclamations that unarmed J6 protesters at the Capitol were part of an “insurrection” that almost “overthrew” the U.S. government.
How could mostly peaceful patriots without weapons pose such a threat to a government so certain of its military dominance that it routinely mocks civilian self-defense? The answer is simple: the J6 protests were no “insurrection,” but the “ruling class” is desperate to disarm Americans before the Second Amendment’s bulwark against tyranny provides a “teachable moment” for those unschooled in basic civics.
When he’s not attempting to deprive Americans of their right to self-defense, Biden’s Bill-of-Rights-allergic regime remains committed to diminishing Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights, too. The FBI and DOJ unconstitutionally target Americans for their political beliefs, conduct warrantless searches of their communications and financial transactions, and throw them on “domestic enemy” lists for being patriotic, supporting MAGA policies, voting for Trump, or merely reading a Christian Bible. The federal government has even redirected funds meant to fight terrorism toward a propaganda effort for targeting President Trump and his voters. Having created a secret Internet surveillance court with Eric Holder as a member and having created multiple iterations of a domestic censorship board for controlling what Americans can say and hear, Biden and his WEF-allegiant gangsters are the Nazis that they nonsensically accuse Bill of Rights supporters of being.
Question: Faced with rising public backlash in the United States and throughout the West, is it not in the “ruling class’s” best interests to temper its obsession with forcibly constructing a “new world order” in the same old, destructive molds of Hitler, Lenin, and Mao? We may never know for sure because the World Economic Forum’s collection of Marie Antoinettes seem committed to silencing their opponents while mandating their latest version of technocratic tyranny. What we do know for sure — because history is violently clear — is that a great many tyrants rise to power only to later lose their heads.

Etc For truly the whole world is seeing end time signs, from the very skies to the depths of the oceans. They are seeing the global warming, they are seeing the drought, they are seeing the loss of water all over and they recognize that truly it is taking place and they do not know which way to turn. They see the wars, the rumors of wars; they see Iraq and Iran as they continue to go their evil ways. They see Russia as she joins with Iran speaking out boldly against the United States; they see all the signs that are there. They are seeing even the EU as it now meets with Iran and talks with them. When will they wake up, when will they recognize that truly it is the last days, etc

January 22, 2024—NATO will launch the biggest drill since the Cold War, with 90,000 troops approaching Russia and Ukraine
Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller
The US under “Joe Biden” is a rogue state doing all it can for world depopulation, through incessant WAR all over
From Russell “Texas” Bentley in Donetsk:
I wrote the following article a few days ago. It was published in a somewhat watered down form by Sputnik International News. (MSM is the same everywhere, it only varies by degrees.) This is the original. Feel free to publish or share. The news it contains IS important. There is also a link to a second article with very important news below my article.
Reuters reports that NATO “exercise” Steadfast Defender 2024, will begin on Monday, January 22nd, and will run “through” May, which means until June. The deployment will include 90,000 troops, 50 ships, including aircraft carriers, more than 80 combat aircraft, including fighter jets, and over 1,100 combat vehicles, including at least 133 tanks and over 500 infantry fighting vehicles. The fact that the “exercise’ begins next week, and the Western MSM is only now publicizing it, means that all the military assets are already in position. They’re not “coming”, they’re here.
NATO to hold biggest drills since Cold War with 90,000 troops
January 18, 2024
This is the biggest NATO combined arms “exercise” since REFORGER 1988, back when the USSR and Warsaw pact were still in existence. In other words, this is the biggest NATO troop movement since the end of the Cold War, almost doubling the previous largest, which was 50,000 troops involved in Trident Juncture in 2018. 90,000 troops on the move for almost half a year, concentrating in the Baltic states on Russia’s borders, in Romania, on the Ukraine border, and in Germany, the military logistics hub of NATO, and where it all started “last time”. You know what I mean.
Politics and war can best be exemplified by the game of chess. In chess, there are three specific stages – the opening, the middle game, and the end game. The opening is when the two opponents move their pawns into a defensive line and develop the major pieces for maneuver. It is relatively bloodless, and if done correctly, more strategic than tactical. There is no defining moment when the game transitions from the opening game to the middle game, but the middle game is where the fighting really begins, and you know it when you get there.
The middle game is where the majority of pieces are lost, the fighting is most intense, and surprise moves are most likely. The game can often end in checkmate during this phase, with one side being totally defeated by a surprise move they did not see coming. Remember that.
If there is no surprise defeat, the middle game is usually short, and when it is over, the chessboard is vastly different than when it began. In the end game, the majority of pieces on both sides have been eliminated, only a few pieces remain – the kings, of course, and a few pieces close to them, defending them. From here, the game ends in checkmate, a definitive defeat of one side or the other, or a stalemate, where both sides agree that neither can win, thus ending the game, and agreeing to start over at some time in the future.
With Steadfast Defender, Europe (and probably the world) enter the middle game. Fasten your seatbelts, we are in for a rough ride. This middle game will almost certainly not be confined to Europe. and before it is over, will most probably include surprise moves in the form of the use of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. No place on Earth will be safe, except, perhaps, for the luxury bunkers of the world’s billionaire elite. Maybe not even there…
The “Great Reset” has been interpreted by some as code for a depopulation plan to cull the human herd of the majority of its members. This idea has been dismissed by popular culture as just another “conspiracy theory”, but in reality, it remains the most plausible explanation for the many developments of the last few years. For instance –
The proof that the covid virus, and the “vaccine” it engendered, are actually biological weapons grows stronger every day. The genocide in Gaza, and Israel’s absolute disregard for international law and total lack of any meaningful response to it by the UN or international “community”, the intentional destruction of the US and European economies, spending, borrowing and looting national treasuries as if there were no tomorrow, the ecological destruction fomented by the very ones who pass draconian laws they claim are in order to protect it, the disinformation and gaslighting aimed at destroying people’s very ability to discern truth, and therefore, reality …
All of these developments that have intensified and accelerated in the last few years, when taken as a whole, can only be rationally and realistically explained thusly – “They (the global Parasite Class) are not stupid, they are doing it on purpose.” If there really is a plan by world elites to depopulate the planet, (There is, because) everything they have done would be exactly the way they would do it. Think about it. Prepare. And don’t forget to say your prayers. The middle game, just like Steadfast Defender, is already upon us. The end game begins soon, but it may well end in a stalemate like this…

Quantum AI: Merging End Times Technologies
By David Bowen October 5, 2023
Have you ever stopped to think how much life has changed for the everyday consumer since 1977, when the personal computer industry officially began?
Over the last forty-six years, computer technology has been embraced by the average user, from desktops to laptops to tablets to smartphones. Most of us have some understanding of computing terms such as CPU (central processing unit) or RAM (random-access memory) or read-only memory (ROM) such as CD and DVD. But many people just want to know enough to use the technology they have to perform the tasks they want to accomplish. With that minimal knowledge, one can successfully shop online, book travel, bank, and schedule medical appointments.
Frankly, technology can be intimidating for some, while others have an insatiable appetite to stay on the cutting edge. For example, while some of us are still trying to understand the concept of holograms, there are nightly sold-out shows in England to watch ABBA perform a musical show — all in hologram!
In recent months, ChatGPT has become the technological buzzword. Some people are unsure how it is used, but a recent church service in Germany was written entirely by ChatGPT and spoken via avatars. Technophiles now tell us that digital IDs and digital currencies are coming soon, but these technologies may pose grave threats to freedom when they are implemented. Soon, we may not be allowed to enter a grocery store until we have downloaded their app. Already, young people have fully embraced the idea of shopping and paying with the wave of their palm (in such places as Whole Foods and Amazon). Technology is already deeply woven into our daily lives, while amazing new technologies are constantly being developed and tested.
What is Coming Next?
The next advancement is called quantum computing — an exponential leap in computer capability. The military, analytic, scientific, and “artificial intelligence” potential of this advance is expected to be virtually unlimited.
The business world is already at the “early adopters’ stage” regarding quantum computing. Early adopters believe they cannot become complacent by relying on existing technology. Instead, they must constantly create new value; through more and more advanced technology. IBM, Google, and Microsoft are the leading business entities developing quantum computing. According to Investor’s Business Daily, Google has already spun off SandboxAQ, a new entity specifically designed to expand the use of quantum computing further.
What is Quantum Computing?
This technology may be mind-boggling for the average user, so let’s try to simplify what this is. Classical computing uses a binary code to process data: a 0 or 1. There are no other coding options. Quantum computing does not use bits; it uses qubits, which in layman’s terms, can be fractions of 0 or 1, which is impossible with current technology.
The virtually limitless subdivision of qubit data allows a quantum computer to exponentially accelerate calculations. Packed with infinitesimally small microprocessors, it can easily process over 5 billion calculations per second — 3 million times faster than classic computing. The chief analyst at Hyperion Research estimates that tasks that currently take 25 hours will soon be completed in two minutes with quantum computing.
With its blistering computation speed, quantum computing will soon be used to revolutionize the military, logistics, pharma, life science, and finance. All of these are already aggressively investing in quantum computing. For example, Moderna partnered with IBM to use quantum computing to advance the mRNA technology used to develop vaccines. Nvidia is working with Israel-based quantum machines to run algorithms used in quantum physics on supercomputers built with AI chips.
In summary, quantum computing solves problems deemed too complex for today’s classical computers. It is so advanced that some question if it will ever be available or affordable on a personal level, but the same was said of traditional computing 50 years ago.
Cyber Threats
Cyber security risks are expected to skyrocket. Currently, the most widely used security protocol in cybersecurity is RSA, a public crypto-technology released in 1977 and named after its developers (Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman). In layman’s terms, that is a string of characters in an algorithm that pairs a public and private number to encrypt and decrypt data. This is why you add your personal password to keep your data safe. Unfortunately, computer experts expect quantum computing to make RSA protection obsolete.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently developing methods to minimize potential cybersecurity risks. NIST expects to release post-quantum cryptography standards by 2024 — a vital measure to protect US assets as adversarial nations like China attempt to gain the upper hand with their own quantum computer technology.
The Difference Between AI and QC
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is modeled and designed after the human brain. AI developers claim that this revolutionary new technology has the capability to learn and reason. The creators of AI have modeled their neural network after the human brain. However, artificial neural networks will never fully replicate what was designed by the Supreme Creator, Almighty God.
Recently, Popular Mechanics explained that AI has suddenly evolved to achieve the “theory of mind.” In January 2022, AI had the analytical and learning prowess of a seven-year-old, but by November 2022, AI had grown to have the intuitive skills of a nine-year old. In eleven months, AI increased in knowledge and its ability to learn. By mid-2023, this research claims that AI now has the intellectual ability of a full-grown adult. Mo Gawdat, a former chief business officer for Google, estimates ChatGPT now has an IQ of 155. This intellectual growth challenges developers of AI, who confirm that AI can scan and learn the ENTIRE Internet. AI computer networks are constantly browsing the Internet and growing in knowledge.
What Lies Ahead
The combination of AI and quantum computing is a growing concern of many developers involved with this super technology. The Financial Times explains:
Quantum computing can render all current encryption obsolete the very moment it comes online.
Once quantum computing is merged with AI, its learning potential will be irreversible.
Quantum computing could break the Internet.
Julie Love, product leader for quantum computing at Microsoft who holds a Ph.D. in quantum physics, warned, “You will not own quantum computing; it will own you.”
Setting Up the Antichrist System
On its website, the World Economic Forum proclaims they “have established the Quantum Computing Network, which facilitates collaboration with companies like Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft, as well as academic institutions and national governments… to prepare society more broadly for the significance of the transition.” Transition indeed.
What quantum computing can do is unlike anything we have seen to date. Not only will this technology have the ability to control every aspect of life, business, finance, medicine, government, etc., but it will also be able to do this with such precision and speed that every person on earth could be placed into a one-world system. This technology will virtually force the world into a one-world financial system, a one-world government, and eventually a one-world religion. This super technology will cause the world’s systems to merge into one unified and computerized way of life. Choices will be eliminated. Freedom will be severely limited. Control will be delivered into the hands of the one who oversees this worldwide interconnecting network.
Scott Townsend of I Am a Watchman Ministries describes how quantum computers combined with AI will be used to establish the Mark of the Beast system. This technology will allow the Antichrist to seemingly replicate the attributes of God during the Tribulation. Only God is omnipotent (all-powerful) (Genesis 1), omniscient (all-knowing) (1 John 3:20, Matthew 10:29-30), and omnipresent (present everywhere) (Psalm 139:7-9), but technology will allow Satan’s Man of Lawlessness to deceive the world. Like the Father of Lies, those technology-enabled lies will cease when Jesus returns in glory.
Scripture warns that mankind will succumb to a one-world government. Quantum computing and AI are the technologies that will make it possible. Understanding the anticipated threat is one thing, but witnessing end-time technologies and events fall into place before our eyes is amazing.
Time is very short. Tell everyone you know about the love Jesus has for them… before it is too late.
Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus!

Freak waves cause damage at US army base, shut airports in remote Marshall Islands
Jan 22, 2024
Powerful waves, driven by offshore storm surges, hit an important US military installation in the Marshall Islands on Saturday night, causing damage and resulting in the evacuation of all “non-mission personnel” from the island.
Flooding caused by the waves also hit two airports at Ailinglaplap Atoll, leaving rocks, coral and debris in their wake, keeping those airports closed for weeks. Other islands reported flooding and moderate damage.
The US Army in a statement on Sunday afternoon that at approximately 9pm on January 20, “a series of weather-induced waves hit Roi-Namur which caused significant flooding in the northern portions of the island”.
A video circulating from Roi-Namur, an island at the northern end of Kwajalein Atoll, shows an approximately one-metre wave hitting the Army’s dining hall, breaking down doors, knocking people down and washing them from outside into the facility.
Roi-Namur houses the US Army’s most sophisticated space-tracking equipment as part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Test Site.
A second follow-up wave, caught on video, was higher, possibly as high as one-and-a-half metres, washing through the dining hall.
No deaths were reported at Roi-Namur, but one person was being treated for injuries at the clinic on Kwajalein Island, the base headquarters.
“One individual sustained injuries to lower extremities and is currently being seen at the Kwaj Clinic,” said Army public affairs officer Mike Brantley. “He is in stable condition.”
The Army said in a statement on Sunday US Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll and mission partners have established an Emergency Operations Cell to oversee and coordinate all recovery efforts.
“We have accountability of all employees (US and Marshall Islands) and evacuated all non-mission essential personnel to Kwajalein.”
Kwajalein Island is the missile testing range headquarters and is located about 40 miles to the south at the other end of the atoll.
“All Roi residents will remain on Kwajalein until basic services can be restored on Roi,” the Army said. “Recovery efforts will be our top priority.”
On Sunday, the Marshall Islands National Weather Service issued a mass text message alert saying: “Northern swells may cause inundation in northern atolls and north-facing shores. Hazardous conditions for swimming and sailing in small crafts due to crashing waves and stronger than usual currents due to swells.”
An aerial damage assessment conducted by the Army on Sunday morning showed “how water inundation washed over the northwest side of the island (Roi-Namur), flooding at least one-third of it”, the Army said in a brief update Sunday morning.
“There is standing water on both sides of the north end of the runway and the first floors of all but two bachelors’ quarters.”
There was flooding in multiple buildings, including the Tradewinds Theater, the Army store, “and all of the automotive warehouse area”.
Remarkably, the small island of Santo, located three miles away from Roi-Namur, which houses a Marshallese community of 1,000, appeared to be unaffected by flooding, said Kwajalein Member of Parliament David Paul Sunday.
He said the Kwajalein Atoll Local Government had initiated a survey of all inhabited islands in Kwajalein to determine damage.
Kwajalein is the world’s largest atoll and has Marshallese communities on over 10 islands.
Wave swells also seriously flooded islands in Ailinglaplap Atoll, tossing debris onto airfields at Woja and Jeh islands.
It likely will take weeks to clear the runways for air service to return. Kili Island, home of the displaced Bikini Islanders, also experienced flooding Saturday-Sunday.

FLASH: Yemen Hits ANOTHER U.S. Ship with Ballistic Missiles
World Hal Turner 22 January 2024 Hits: 5621
The Houthis in the country of Yemen have publicly announced they have fired anti-ship ballistic missiles at the U.S. Merchant Ship "Ocean Jazz" File Photo above) and successfully struck the ship. CENTCOM confirms this.
The Houthis describe the vessel as a US "military carrier" but it is not known if that vessel was carrying any military cargo or in the actual service of the US military.
The ship was reported to have been struck while in the Gulf of Aden.
UPDATE 1:31 PM EST --
The Yemeni Armed Forces: "We continue to take all defensive and offensive measures within the right to defend Yemen and continue to support Palestine."
UPDATE 1:36 PM EST --
Below is a photo PURPORTEDLY showing the Ocean Jazz vessel burning after the missile hits. HOWEVER, the burning vessel below DOES NOT SEEM TO MATCH the file photo above !!!
The vessel above seems to be a completely DIFFERENT vessel from the "Ocean Jazz" pictured above. Working now to clarify exactly which ship has been hit and if the image above is actually valid.

Snowstorm leaves at least 14 dead in Tennessee as frigid temperatures, ice slams Northeast
By Social Links for Patrick Reilly
Published Jan. 18, 2024 Updated Jan. 18, 2024, 7:01 p.m. ET
At least 14 Tennesseans have died as a result of a bitterly cold winter storm that dumped snow across the southern state this week, officials said.
Parts of Nashville have seen more than 9 inches of snow since Sunday — nearly double the city’s annual average snowfall.
Even when the flakes stopped falling, temperatures plummeted to below zero in parts of the state, creating the largest power demand the Tennessee Valley Authority, which serves seven states in the region, has ever experienced.
Authorities have warned that a new thin layer of ice could cover the already treacherous roads on Thursday night, when temperatures again drop to single digits.
Tennessee has seen the most deaths of any state across the US, where more than two dozen have fallen victim to the winter weather this week.
The deaths include a box truck driver who was killed after he slid into a tractor-trailer on an interstate; a man who fell through a skylight while shoveling the roof of his business; and a woman died of hypothermia after she was found unresponsive in her home, officials said.
There have been at least three fatal car crashes caused by the storm, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol. There were an additional 200 wrecks that caused injuries and 600 where no one was hurt, the agency said.
Shelby County, home to Memphis, reported the most deaths as of midweek with five. However, details remain limited about the state’s 14 deaths out of privacy concerns for the victims’ families.
Cory Mueller, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Nashville said that another cold spell is expected this weekend — making Monday the first chance for significant thaw.
“At least in Tennessee, it takes a little bit to get the roads cleared up,” Mueller said. “With the cold temperatures, that led to the snow staying on the roads much longer.”
Meanwhile, the snow-covered Pacific Northwest is also facing dangerous weather conditions again as freezing rain and gusts of up to 40 mph are expected to wallop parts of Oregon Thursday night.
Most Portland-area school districts canceled classes for a third straight day due to slick roads and water damage from burst frozen pipes.
On Wednesday, two adults and a teenager were tragically electrocuted to death in Portland after a tree and a power line fell on a truck as powerful winds ripped through the city.
In Western New York, three people have perished during the icy weather in the past three days — two died while clearing snow and a third was hit by a car while swiping snow from his car, state officials said. A travel ban was finally lifted in the area on Thursday.
Five New York women from the same family were struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 81 in northeastern Pennsylvania after they left their vehicles following a separate crash on the slick roadway.

Amish Farmer Terrorized Again By Government Gestapo A Dire Warning To ALL Americans With Our Rights To Grow Our Own Food And Eat The Food Of Our Choice Attacked By Tyrants
By John Klar and All News Pipeline January 22, 2024
The January 4th raid on Amish farmer Amos Miller’s Pennsylvania establishment, reflects a growing tension between government regulation of food safety and liberty-minded individualists distrusting industrial food production. Pennsylvania State Police secured Miller’s farming premises for search by the state’s Department of Agriculture for “illegal raw milk and raw milk products, including eggnog,” following reported cases of E. coli in New York and Michigan, allegedly linked to Miller’s products. This curious dispute has far-reaching implications for Americans’ food rights.
Miller déjà vu?
Farmer Miller has been in and out of the food rights limelight since 2015, when the USDA alleged his raw milk products sickened a person in California and caused another person’s death in Florida by listeria (which Miller denies). Miller has negotiated fines and regulatory conformance to appease the Feds for his past transgressions, but the recent cases have brought Pennsylvania authorities to his door, where they seized eggnog and sour cream, chocolate milk, and ice cream.
Miller’s Amish traditions inspire his belief that it is not merely his right, but his duty, to provide nutrient-dense foods to his multistate customer base as a defense against untrustworthy industrial food products. Miller and his customers seek to operate under federal and state regulatory radar as “Private Member Associations” or entities that privately enter into contractual relations and are not engaged in public commerce. They know the risks of raw milk and farm-processed meats and deliberately seek these and other farm-direct products for their perceived health benefits.
Unfortunately, Mr. Miller has held a somewhat unsteady legal course, switching counsel and representing himself pro se, including invoking vague and unhelpful sovereign citizen claims. Still, his head-butting with government regulators highlights a broader battle forming between food rights activists (such as those who successfully passed a food rights amendment to Maine’s Constitution in 2022), and an ever-expanding federal/state food inspection apparatus.

Food Rights Firebrands
Kentucky’s Thomas Massie co-sponsored the PRIME Act, which would expand regulatory liberties for intrastate meat sales and bolster small farms and their direct sales to consumers and restaurants. Massie wasted no time shooting a shot across the political bow in support of Amos Miller, posting the tweet seen above on X.
The most significant tension lies in the balance between appropriate government oversight of commerce, especially regarding health and safety, and personal food choice sovereignty. This push and pull has increased over the last century, intensifying as toxic food additives and mass production of less nutritious produce and processed foods cause health-conscious consumers to do without government “protections” that too often protect corporate profits over human health.
As attorney David Berg poignantly predicted in a 2013 article in the Journal of Food Law & Policy:
If liberty is the freedom to make one’s own choices in life, why can we not make those choices with respect to our food?
… Food choice is not a new right; it is a right and a practice as old as civilization.
… However, it was not until industrialization and regulation that citizens felt the need to assert such a right, and now courts and legislators will increasingly have to take this right into account.
Berg argues that the right to purchase food directly from a farmer, sans mandatory government inspection, is a fundamental right. The federal government has failed to halt atrazine, glyphosate, neonicotinoids, and other chemicals, and subsidizes corn (and thus high-fructose corn syrup) and other questionable foods.
More recently, public trust has been compromised by dubious claims about the “safety and effectiveness” of certain medications that proved to be neither. It is not unreasonable that public views about the necessity of government food inspection fluctuate with levels of trust. As public trust in government and food safety continues to deteriorate, farmers like Amos Miller are sought out like food gurus.
Women have been granted the “right” to an abortion, gays the “right” to marry, and transgender-identifying citizens the “right” to “gender-affirming” surgery at public expense. Concurrently, zoning laws increasingly compel citizens to eliminate chickens from their backyards or cease and desist from milking or raising a cow.
In this milieu, do people have the “right” to shape their identity around food (as Berg persuasively argues)? May Americans who prefer an Amish sovereign citizen’s barn-processed foodstuffs over the fare of the food conglomerates simply enter freely into a contractual and informed “assumption of risk” of the potential harms from uninspected meals?
Hard-working, hardscrabble farmer rebels like Amos Miller are a preview of the growing movement to push back against government overreach. Americans prefer their independence and personal food sovereignty over compelled servitude to Big Brother in the name of security, whether the Police State protection is proffered against nebulous climate change, dehumanized foreign enemies, a sketchy disease from China, or alleged food-borne illness from raw Amish eggnog.

WEF: Farming Industry Must Be Destroyed for ‘Net Zero’
Hunter Fielding January 22, 20244 Comments
Globalist elites at the World Economic Forum (WEF) have decided that farming and fishing industries must be completely eliminated in order to meet the organization’s “Net Zero” goals.
During the group’s annual summit, WEF member Jojo Mehta – founder of “Stop Ecocide Now” – informed world leaders and corporate elites that farming the land, fishing for food, and “making money” is now a “serious crime.”
Mehta asserted that farming and fishing are “crimes” that will be considered equal to mass murder or genocide.
During the event, globalists have been discussing the rollout of a “global police force” to deal with such “crimes.”
Mehta told her ultra-rich peers in Davos:
“We have this cultural, very ingrained habit of not taking damage to nature as seriously as we take damage to people or property.”
Her goal is to have “mass damage and destruction of nature” legally recognized as “a serious crime.”
“With human rights, mass murder and genocide are serious crimes, but there is no equivalent in the environmental space,” she said.
“Unlike an international crime like genocide that involves a specific intent, with ecocide, what we see is that people are trying to do is make money, is farm, is fish… and what’s missing is an awareness of the side effects and collateral damage that happens…”
The comments have triggered a firestorm on social media.
Many argue that meeting “Net Zero” means mass depopulation.
“That’s right, NetZero is net population growth of zero,” one X user said.
“That’s what they were after all along, no more euphemisms about carbon emissions, they’re moving on.”
“Ecocide is actually Eliteocide—which is allowing unelected elites, to tell farmers to stop farming, fisher to stop fishing, miners to stop mining—when you allow those things to happen, that is when you starve, unrests happens and society collapses,” another X user noted.
“Because you listen to the stupidity of the unelected elite class, who never intend to stop eating or owning everything—that’s what they convinced you to do.”

Russia's 'Dead Hand' Is a Soviet-Built Nuclear Doomsday Device
A lot of great technology was developed during the Cold War. Things like GPS, the internet and microchips were all developed as part of the arms-race tech boom. Unfortunately, so was the Novichok nerve agent, the world's largest nuclear weapon and Russia's doomsday device, just to name a few.
You read that right. Like something out of one of the worst James Bond movies, the Soviet Union developed a world-ending mechanism that would launch all of its nuclear weapons without any command from an actual human.
Russia currently has an estimated 1,600 deployed tactical nuclear weapons, with another 2,400 strategic nuclear weapons tied to intercontinental ballistic missiles. This makes Russia the largest nuclear power in the world. All of these weapons are tied into the Perimeter, an automatic nuclear weapons control system.
In a crisis that might mean a first strike from the United States, high-ranking government officials or military commanders could activate the Perimeter. Perimeter would guarantee that the Soviet Union (and now, Russia) could respond even if its entire armed forces were wiped out.
Once switched on, the Perimeter system can launch the entire Russian nuclear arsenal in response to a nuclear attack. It was part of the Cold War doctrine of mutually assured destruction, a means of deterring nuclear attacks by ensuring the side who initiated a first strike also would be annihilated.
Called "Dead Hand" in the West, the theory is that a command and control system measures communications on military frequencies, radiation levels, air pressure, heat and short-term seismic disturbances. If the measurement points to a nuclear attack, the Perimeter begins a sequence that would end in the firing of all ICBMs in the Soviet (now, Russian) arsenal.
Perimeter would launch a command rocket, tipped with a radio warhead that transmits launch orders to Russian nuclear silos, even with the presence of radio jamming. The rocket would fly across the entire length of the country. After a number of test launches to prove the viability of such a command rocket, the Perimeter system went online in 1985.
The Soviet Union never confirmed that such a system ever existed, but Russian Strategic Missile Forces Gen. Sergey Karakaev confirmed it to a Russian newspaper in 2011, saying the U.S. could be destroyed in 30 minutes. Russian state media outlets suggest the system was upgraded to include radar early warning systems and Russia's new hypersonic missiles.
In the United States, similar technologies were developed. Seismic and radiation sensors are used to monitor parts of the U.S. and the world for nuclear explosions and other activity, but the U.S. military never created an automatic trigger for its arsenal. Instead, it ensured that American humans with the ability and authority to launch a second strike would survive a first strike.
Since the Perimeter is reportedly still active, the danger of an automatic, computer-generated nuclear strike still exists. Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin has put Russia's nuclear weapons on high alert, he might have taken Russia's doomsday device on notice as well.

Pentagon Insider Issues Chilling Warning Of World War III As Middle East Explodes In Violence By Iran-Supported Proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas And Houthis
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline January 21, 2024
We in the Independent Media have been reporting on events observed globally which we believe are leading to World War III, laying out each event, the possible ramifications as well as how other nations are reacting, including countries with nuclear capabilities,
Still, we are observers from afar, not privy to U.S. military documentation, or the internal deliberations of foreign entities. We take the news and connect the dots to come to the most logical conclusion; which is that the middle east is more volatile than it has ever been before, and that we must be prepared for eventuality of a global war, where nuclear weapons are utilized.
So when we see dire warnings, especially by a 'Pentagon insider' confirming our reporting that "we are on the brink" of WWIII, it tells us that not only have we been right in out conclusions from the reports that were available to us, but also that we are closer to the global conflict than ever before.
Before citing the article, we believe should a nuclear war break out, history will reflect what we have witnessed in the last year, up until present day, was the start of World War III. It has already begun.
"Pentagon insider warns 'we are on the brink' of World War 3 after latest Iran attack."
A source inside the US Pentagon has warned the world is on the brink of a major conflict as Iran and its allies continue to launch attacks across the Middle East.
The warning comes as Iranian-backed proxies destabilize the Middle East by attacking Israel and US targets, as well as international shipping in the region.
Iran itself has also carried out strikes in neighboring Iraq and Pakistan as well as Syria sending tensions soaring.
We have see many say across the internet that they wouldn't want to survive a nuclear war, but there will be survivors, so unless they plan to go against the written word, survive they must, and they will hopefully be prepared to do so.
That isn't the only warnings we are hearing as President Trump recently offered the same warning in Iowa, and Russian news anchor Vladimir Solovyov also warning his audience that the planet was "moving towards WWII." (H/T Michael Snyder)
While the middle east is the most unstable at the moment, Europe is also the location of conflict with the Russia-Ukraine war. A NATO Military committee chair recent explained why NATO is also preparing for a wider conflict. He stated "It is not a given that we are in peace." Video of those comments are at the bottom of the article.

MUSLIMS WANT THE MAHDI TO COME....
From the link above about the Pentagon insider, we see the following warning to Iran:
Defense expert Nicholas Drummond echoed concerns that the conflict in the Middle East could potentially escalate but warned that if Tehran directly attacked Israel, the ensuing war would be “the end of Iran”.
For most sane leaders that knowledge would slow them down, make them think before doing anything that could "end" their country, but when it comes to Iran, those warnings are more incentive than disincentive.
According to the Islamic Republic's 2016 census, nearly all of Iran's 89 million as of 2023 population are Muslims with 99% reporting that they are Muslim.
To radical Muslims the closer the world gets to end times, the sooner the Mahdi appears. The Mahdi, to them, is a "messianic deliverer who will fill earth with justice and equity, restore true religion, and usher in a short golden age lasting seven, eight, or nine years before the end of the world," according to Britannica.
The following headlines clearly show that Iran is behind almost all that has been happening in the middle east since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas.
• Iran and Hezbollah military leaders aiding Houthis attacks on vessels crossing Red Sea
• Hamas received weapons and training from Iran, officials say
• Iran fires missiles into Pakistan as Israel-Hamas war tension spreads
• Iran ups the ante against US, proxies strike Iraq military base with ballistic missiles
• From Lebanon to the Red Sea, a Broader Conflict With Iran Looms
Iran wants World War III and controls and/or facilitates enough proxies, which include Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, to continue throwing matches at the powder keg that is the middle east.
We recently found out that Iran is also close to producing an atomic bomb.
In his report, Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, wrote, "Today, it would need only about a week to produce enough for its first nuclear weapon. It could have enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month, and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for 12."
The number one state sponsor of terror, Iran, will soon be a nuclear power.
Related: NEARLY HALF OF ALL MUSLIMS GLOBALLY BELIEVE MAHDI’S EMERGENCE IS IMMINENT!
BILLIONAIRES KNOW SOMETHING IS COMING.....
Via the Daily Mail we see the following headline on January 21, 2024: "What do they know? World's billionaires are building bunkers and assembling fortresses outside their mansions."
Late last year it emerged Mark Zuckerberg was building a $100 million hidden fortress buried beneath his Hawaiian island ranch, complete with its own energy and food supplies and blast-resistant doors.
Billionaire wellness entrepreneur Frank VanderSloot — Idaho's richest man — recently bought a 2,000-acre ranch south of Zuck's compound for a cool $51 million.
And OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman once let slip that he and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel have an 'arrangement' in case the world is ending: If things hit the fan, Altman said in 2016, the pair would lay low at one of Thiel's properties in New Zealand.
It is not clear whether they are preparing for WWIII, economic collapse, societal collapse, or any other number of possible scenarios, but they obviously know something is coming and are preparing for it.
BOTTOM LINE
At this point it is doubtful that anyone knows what exactly will turn the wars occurring now into an official WWIII, but is has become crystal clear that nations are taking sides in the ongoing wars, some with nuclear capabilities.
With China's warnings regarding Taiwan, yet another conflict is on the horizon as well, and surely the Biden regime will manage to find a way to insert American into that as well.
It is my personal belief that what the world has been observing since the Russia/Ukraine conflict, with NATO, following America's lead, butting in, and the middle east conflicts that continue to increase, that we living through the beginning stages of the next World War.
I pray I am wrong, and something will stop what is happening, but it is doubtful that there are any cooler heads capable of putting the genie back in the bottle.

Why the world is due for MORE conflicts around the globe: With Ukraine, Gaza and the Red Sea all at war, JUSTIN CRUMP explains why MORE wars will break out as nations clamour for resources
By Chris Jewers
Published: 10:09 EST, 21 January 2024 | Updated: 15:21 EST, 21 January 2024
Speaking on Monday, Britain's defence secretary Grant Shapps warned in a speech that the UK has moved out of a post-war state and is now facing a 'pre-war world'.
His comments were made to highlight the need for Britain to increase its defence spending, but also demonstrated growing concern over current and future conflicts.
Relative peace in Europe was shattered in February 2022 with Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and the Middle East once again found itself in crisis 18 months later after Hamas's October 7 terror attack on Israel, and Israel's retaliation on Gaza.
And while these two conflicts have dominated the news cycle, others have also been wreaking havoc in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Caucuses.
Meanwhile, there are mounting fears that the war in Gaza could spillover into the Middle East, and that China could invade Taiwan in the coming years - a conflict that has the potential to plunge the world into a third global war.
What's more, Thursday saw NATO admiral Rob Bauer warn that the military alliance is bracing itself for an attack by Russia within the next 20 years.
If it feels like the world is seeing a spike in deadly conflicts, the data is there to back up that notion. Figures compiled by the Peace Research Institute Oslo show more battle-related deaths from state conflicts in 2022 than in any year since 1984.
The data shows that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war between the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) accounted for the majority of the more than 204,000 recorded war-related deaths last year.
It was also the first year that fighting in Europe accounted for more than 25,000 of the world's deaths from state-based violence since the Second World War.
According to Justin Crump, an intelligence, security and defence expert and CEO of global risk analysis firm Sibylline, further regional conflicts can be expected in the years ahead, especially as climate change worsens and resources grow scarce, and as the world's superpowers clash with fight proxy wars with Grey Zone tactics.
Asked by MailOnline about the growing fears of a global conflict, Mr Crump said: 'I don't think this is inevitable, but I think the risks are mounting.
'If it's not next year, it'll be by the end of the decade, we'll be looking at a similar sort of problem. And unless something dramatically changes on the planet, the risk is just going to keep mounting. The tensions will keep mounting.'
Since 2020, there have been a number of regional conflicts in addition to those currently being fought in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The Tigray War saw tens of thousands of people killed across northern Ethiopia between November 2020 to November 2022 while an on-going civil war in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has also caused widespread death and destruction.
Africa has also seen a series of successful military coups. Governments have been overthrown in countries including Burkina Faso, Guinea, Chad, Mali, Gabon and Niger, and the Democratic Republic of Congo is also facing an on-going humanitarian crisis - the roots of which date back to the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
Another coup happened in 2021, this time in Myanmar, when the military overthrew the democratically elected government of Win Myint and Aung San Suu Kyi, plunging the country into a crisis. Rebels continue to fight back.
Nagorno-Karabakh proved to be another flash point in recent years, culminating in 2023 when Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive into the region, forcing the Armenian people there from their homes.
According to Mr Crump, we can expect more of these regional conflicts.
But while those listed above have largely been political, he says there is the growing likelihood that wars will be fought as a result of dwindling resources on account of climate change, such as water, and as more people are forced from their homes.
'We're definitely going to see more regional conflicts next year because the pressures are mounting, climate change is making people shift around,' he said.
'Guess what? They bump into each other. That causes problems. There isn't enough water. People are going to start fighting for water. This stuff is all going to happen.
'It's just the case, whether it's this year, next year or ten years hence.'
In Sibylline's annual report report analysing global risks, climate change is listed as one of five key drivers of political security, governance and criminal trends.
It points to rising temperatures exacerbating wildfire risks, driving erratic storms, and increasing the risk of floods and draughts.
'Given the increased exposure of human settlements to these risks, the impacts of our changing climate will continue to shift the locations and movement patterns of people – they will also drive competition over resources,' the report says.
Climate change, the firm adds, 'serves as a slow but steady driver of instability and change, exacerbating many other longer-standing sources of tension and increasing the likelihood of disruption and risk to life.'
A destroyed tank is seen in a field in the aftermath of fighting between the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) forces in Kasagita town, in Afar region, Ethiopia, February 25, 2022
Sub-Saharan Africa - already a region with extreme poverty and disease - will bear the brunt of rising temperatures sooner than others.
Agriculture is regularly disrupted by extreme weather in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, and the loss of livelihoods and increasingly scarce resources are 'intensifying inter-communal conflict, further militarising historic disputes and encouraging communities to mobilise along ethnic lines,' the report says.
Both Military governments and jihadist groups in the region are exploiting this, with the first marginalising already fringe societies and the latter using it to bolster recruitment. More extreme groups lead to more violence.
At the end of last year in Nigeria, almost 300 Christians were reported to have been killed in a wave of 'coordinated' attacks on Christmas Eve. Reports said the attacks were carried out by the Fulani Islamist militia, who in 2014 were named the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the world by the Global Terrorism Index.
While the attacks are believed to have been motivated by religion, other localised conflicts have been fought in Nigeria's Middle Belt over land rights between cattle herders and agrarian hamlets.
Sibylline's report also highlights the risk climate change poses to the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey.
The region has to contend with extreme storms, unusually heavy rainfall and wildfires, as well as droughts, sandstorms and food insecurity. Turkey was also the victim of a deadly earthquake last year, displacing thousands of people.
Worsening conditions in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as across the north of the continent and the Middle East will continue to force people from their homes.
This will push them towards safer countries in Europe, where the issue of migration can inflame tensions - both between states and in domestic politics - fuelling border disputes and emboldening parties with more extreme views.
What's more, Africa is home to about one-third of the world's mineral resources, including minerals that are vital to the world's clean energy technologies.
Forecasts suggest that in the coming decades, the world will need many times more cobalt, copper and lithium than what is being produced for consumer goods and defence applications like phones, electric vehicles and satellites.
This poses a significant challenge to the United States and the rest of the West, due to China dominating the globe's critical supply of such minerals.
Infact, China accounts for 60 percent of world-wide production and 85 percent of processing capacity, according to the United States Institute for Peace.
China is already well entrenched in Africa, with Chinese entities now owning stakes in nearly all the producing mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, which supplies 70 percent of the world's cobalt.
Chinese mining companies have also invested heavily in lithium mines, and are behind lithium projects in countries including Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mali.
Estimates suggest Beijing could control one-third of the world's lithium capacity by 2025, leaving the US and other countries well behind. The West's need for the same resources will only serve to create further divisions with China.
Tensions between the US and China are already high amid fears that Beijing could order the invasion of Taiwan in the coming years.
China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its territory, and fears have grown in recent years that President Xi Jinping is planning an invasion in the coming years, in the face of increasingly hostile rhetoric and simulated blockades of the island.
Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers are assembled during military training at Pamir Mountains in Kashgar, northwestern China's Xinjiang region in January 2021
There is no doubt that such an invasion would be devastating for the region from a humanitarian perspective, with some suggesting as many as 500,000 people could be killed in any such military action.
But experts have also warned of the devastating impact an attack would have from an economic perspective, particularly on the West.
Taiwan produces 90 percent of the world's advanced chips, the brains in all modern electronic equipment, and any shortage in semiconductors has been described as 'catastrophic' to both the UK and the global economy.
Should China seize Taiwan, then it would also corner the semiconductor market, giving the US and its allies multiple incentives to defend Taiwan - something Washington has signalled it would do in the event of an invasion.
China has been hostile to its other neighbours in recent years, too.
It has become increasingly aggressive in the South China Sea, with its navy and fishing vessels often coming into close contact with Filipino vessels.
It has also been accused of using its vast fishing fleet to dominate the South China Sea, which it claims should be under its control almost in its entirety.
An investigation by the New York Times last year highlighted how China's fishing boats - often armed with weapons - combined with its aggressive coastguard work to assert Beijing's presence more than 1,000 miles from China's coast.
Beijing has also clashed with Japan over the disputed Senkaku Islands, using its fishing industry to bolster its claim.
There have also been clashes between China and India in the Galwan Valley in the Himalayas which has seen soldiers fighting for the world's two largest nations, both of whom are armed with nuclear weapons, clashing with melee weapons.
In 2021, China admitted to losing four of its troops in the fighting.
Mr Crump says China's actions in the South China Sea is a prime example of 'Grey Zone' tactics - a type of unconventional warfare
Clementine G. Starling is the deputy director of the Forward Defense practice and a resident fellow in the Transatlantic Security Initiative, told the Atlantic Council think tank that she defines the 'grey zone' as 'a set of activities that occur between peace (or cooperation) and war (or armed conflict).
'A multitude of activities fall into this murky in-between - from nefarious economic activities, influence operations, and cyberattacks to mercenary operations, assassinations, and disinformation campaigns,' she added.
The West, Mr Crump says, should be concerned with such tactics from China.
'It's the fishing fleet, It's the Coast Guard. It's the way they're just pushing into this space and just making it theirs and basically saying: "what are you going to do about it? Are you going to fire a missile at us? I don't think you are".
'And it's really hard to come up with an answer and it's this sort of creeping penetration of geography, of societies, of thinking that's going on.'

etc 'If China launches missiles and sends in amphibious warships [to invade Taiwan], then America might feel like they have to do something straight away,' he says.
Instead, he expects an attack on Taiwan to be 'subtle, insidious and creeping.'
'I think one of the points about this is you're seeing potentially lots of regional conflicts, lots of grey zone conflicts,' he adds.

World Economic Forum Panelist Thinks It’s Good People Can’t Afford Electricity And Basic Living Standards, Helping With Decarbonization
ago 2 days
by Jacob M. Thompson 14 Comments
John Scott, Head of Sustainability, Zurich Insurance Group, recently indicated that people’s growing issues with paying for basic necessities is actually in some ways good as it helps with achieving harmony in meeting global decarbonization goals.
Scott explained this during a forum discussing the World Economic Forum’s recently published Global Risks Report 2024, on January 10th.
The WinePress reported on the official report the day it came out, noting that some of the main tenets include more environmentalist panic, economic woe namely for the low- and middle-class, international division and war; and specifically this so-called war on “truth,” the WEF wrote, adding, “As polarization grows and technological risks remain unchecked, ‘truth’ will come under pressure.”
During a Q&A session discussing the findings in the report, Scott was asked about collaboration in tackling climate change and how its not keeping pace with the Paris Agreement, and was asked, “how do you see real collaboration that keeps up with the pace of the risks happening, given everything else that we are talking about with climate change?”
Scott had this to say:
[…] I think it’s just a reality that the world just doesn’t get organized by International cooperation anymore, you know it’s fragmented, it’s in flux.
[…] You know we talked about the cost of living crisis, you know some people’s, most people’s electricity bills are so high that they’re desperately trying to find some way of getting off the grid or removing themselves from the cost of purchasing electricity, so I think it’s these kind of things that you know it gives us some hope and optimism actually, that we can deal with some of these global risks when we see the global cooperation at an international level not really working so well.
SEE: World Economic Forum And Club Of Rome Member Dennis Meadows Says 86% Of The Population Needs To Be Reduced
For context, earlier in the conversation Scott reminded viewers of the settled agreement to lower the earth’s temperature by 1.5 degrees, and emphasized “individual and collective action.” Scott listed a number of suggestions as New Year’s resolutions:
Perhaps some of you have changed your diet, maybe you’ve moved away from meat, maybe you [go] to a lower carbon diet. Some of you maybe been making choices about your travel for the coming year, reducing your carbon footprint that way. Maybe some of you have even thought about buying an electric vehicle.
You know all of these individually are just drops in the ocean, but with critical mass this really starts moving the needle in terms of decarbonization, so consumer behavior [is] a very interesting risk mitigation.
SEE: Hunger Games: World Bank And Cargill Simulated Food Crisis That Starts In 2020 During Pandemic, Predicts Carbon And Meat Taxes In 2024
Scott is certainly not the first to openly posit the idea of a fractured and struggling society aiding in meeting climate goals. The WinePress has reported a number of such examples before.
One such paragon of this was when Bloomberg published an article last year titled, “South Africa Beats Climate Goal As Blackouts Slash Emissions.” Crispian Olver, the executive director of South Africa’s Presidential Climate Commission, said in an interview at the time, “It’s unintentional. We reckon we are well within the range of meeting the 2030 target.”
Another ensample came in 2023 when Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said during a speech, “Hunger, a price worth paying for country’s progress.”
Don’t you Egyptians dare say you would rather eat than build and progress. If the price of the nation’s progress and prosperity is to go hungry and thirsty, then let us not eat or drink.
Don’t undermine the cause of our nation and make us the world’s laughing stock. Stand fast and transform the cruel circumstances we are going through into a gift. The harder you stand fast, the sooner it [the economic crises] will pass.
He added last year
Moreover, in 2022, Lee White, the environmental minister of the tiny coastal African nation of Gabon, outright said more people need to die in order to meet these climate change goals.
With everything that’s happened in the last year in the Horn of Africa and Pakistan – those places really count.
But with the once-in-a-500-year drought in Europe, fires in France, and the New York subway becoming Niagara Falls, we might be at a point where things are getting bad enough that developed nations start taking the climate more seriously.
It’s a horrible thing to say but until more people in developed nations are dying because of the climate crisis, it’s not going to change.
White said at the time
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Again, if you have not figured it out by now, you are the carbon they want to reduce.
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1 Samuel 24:13
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

** UPDATED 3:15 PM EST -- Ukraine Shells Civilian Street Market in Donetsk; 25 Killed
World Hal Turner 21 January 2024 Hits: 8821
This morning, the Ukrainian Army, funded, trained, and directed by NATO, bombed a civilian market in Donbas with nineteen (19) 155mm NATO shells. The death toll in the Ukrainian terrorist attack on Donetsk has reached 25 people.
Information about 25 deaths has been confirmed.
At least 20 more people were injured, including two children in moderate condition.
All victims are provided with the necessary medical care. Among them are the seriously wounded, many with penetrating wounds in the area of vital organs and traumatic amputation of limbs.
UPDATE 3:15 PM EST --
The Russian Foreign Ministry has issued the following statement:
"The shelling of the Russian city of Donetsk, which has claimed the lives of at least 25 civilians and wounded 20 others, is “a barbaric terrorist act” carried out by Ukraine with the support of the West, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said. It has been established that Sunday's bombardment of a busy market in the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic was inflicted with weapons supplied to Kiev by the US and its allies, the ministry said in a statement.
“This again confirms [the West’s] direct involvement in the conflict and makes it complicit in the criminal acts of the Zelensky regime, which has once again displayed its inhumanity and hatred towards innocent people,” it said.
“The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia through the hands of their Ukrainian puppets, whom it is eager to support mindlessly and without limit, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including acts of terrorism, massive violations of international humanitarian law, and war crimes,” the ministry added.

Another Ship Hit By Missile in Red Sea as Yemen Houthis Announce Hunting for all US and UK Vessels
World Hal Turner 16 January 2024 Hits: 12987
Houthis in Yemen announced today they will attack all American and British vessels in the Red sea, both Military and Civilian, after the US and UK attacked Yemen. This morning, another Cargo ship has been hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen.
The Greek-owned Dry Bulk vessel Zografia was hit by a missile and sustained damage described as "minor."
That ship sent a Distress call this morning:
A Yemeni official has warned that American and British forces can no longer pass through the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait as tensions grow in the region following illegal US-led military strikes on the Arab country.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah resistance movement, issued the warning on Monday after the United States and its allies bombed Yemen amid frustration with anti-Israel naval operations in the Red Sea.
He said that the Yemeni armed forces are developing their missile capabilities to bring new surprises soon.
“The US and UK forces can no longer pass through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait,” a sea route chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and by extension the Indian Ocean, he added.
“The Axis of Resistance has regained control over the region. The Americans will regret their acts of aggression against Yemen and they will be a loser.”
The US and Britain, backed by Bahrain, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands, struck more than 60 targets at almost 30 locations in Yemen on Friday, killing five people and injuring six others.
On Saturday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that a “follow-on action” was conducted against a Yemeni radar facility by the Navy destroyer USS Carney using Tomahawk land attack missiles.
Bukhaiti said that the Yemeni forces are capable of confronting the Americans and that they will block the passage of US and Israeli ships through the Red Sea.
Earlier on Monday, the Yemeni forces hit a US-owned container ship with a ballistic missile off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden.

US drops more bombs on Yemen as it launches airstrikes on 14 Iran-backed Houthi terrorist missile launchers that were loaded and pinned on Navy ships
The Pentagon revealed it had launched air strikes against 14 Houthi missiles sites
Central Command said the missiles were loaded and to be imminently launched
The Iran-backed Houthis have for months been trying to disrupt Red Sea trade
By Reuters and Harriet Alexander and Jon Michael Raasch For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:43 EST, 18 January 2024 | Updated: 03:32 EST, 18 January 2024
The US military has said its forces conducted strikes on 14 Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired from Yemen, in the fourth day of airstrikes in less than a week.
In a statement on social media platform X, U.S. Central Command said the Houthi missiles presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region.
'These missiles on launch rails ... could have been fired at any time, prompting U.S. forces to exercise their inherent right and obligation to defend themselves,' it added.
'These strikes, along with other actions we have taken, will degrade the Houthi's capabilities to continue their reckless attacks on international and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.'
Attacks by the Iran-allied Houthi militia on ships in the region since November have slowed trade between Asia and Europe and alarmed major powers.
The U.S. strikes are meant to degrade the Houthis' ability to carry out attacks in the Red Sea.
But the Houthis, who control most of Yemen, say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and have threatened to expand their attacks.
Earlier on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command said a drone launched from areas controlled by the Houthi rebels in Yemen had struck a U.S.-owned vessel in the Gulf of Aden.
There was some damage but no injuries in the attack, it added on X.
The vessel, M/V Genco Picardy, is a Marshall Islands-flagged flagged, U.S.-operated bulk carrier ship, it said.
The United States returned the Yemen-based Houthi rebels to a list of terrorist groups, opens new tab, as the militants also claimed another attack this week on a U.S.-operated vessel in the Red Sea region.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Biden administration re-listed the Houthi rebels in Yemen as a terrorist group - drawing harsh criticism from Republicans who slammed the move for not going far enough.
Former President Donald Trump had previously listed Houthis as foreign terrorist organizations (FTO) and specially designated global terrorists (SDGT).
But Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken de-listed them in 2021 to make it easier to get humanitarian aid into Yemen.
Three years later, Biden bowed to increasing pressure to re-list the group - as SDGT - only after Houthi rebels attacked U.S. ships in the Red Sea.
Now, members of Congress are ripping Biden for not taking 'real action' and waiting years to hold the terrorist group accountable.
In addition, the SDTG label to be reimposed on the Houthis does not include harsher sanctions that come with being appointed to the FTO list, such as travel restrictions.
House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner told DailyMail.com that Biden should 'have never removed' the Houthis' FTO designation.
'Designating the Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' only applies sanctions and avoids taking any real action,' he added.
'President Trump designated Houthi rebels as terrorists. Joe Biden removed the designation in 2021. Now, Biden admits that the Houthis are 'terrorists' after their repeated attacks in the Red Sea,' Texas Rep. Lance Gooden posted on X.
'Joe Biden is continuing his 50+ year streak of being WRONG on foreign policy!'
New York Rep. Claudia Tenney posted on X, 'President Biden's decision to designate these as an FTO is long overdue and may be too little, too late.'
Some lawmakers said Biden had originally taken the Houthis off of the terrorist lists to ease tensions with Iran.
'Biden gets no credit for reversing one of his first — and worst — appeasements of Iran,' California Rep. Darrell Issa said.
Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin posted on X: 'Three years ago, Joe Biden made the weak decision to remove the Houthi's terrorist designation -- another failed attempt at appeasing Iran-backed forces who chant 'Death to America.'
'With hostile adversaries testing American resolve, U.S. strength is essential for our national security and global stability,' the post continued.
Earlier this week, the Houthi forces hit a U.S.-owned shipping vessel with a missile as it was traveling through the Red Sea.
The group also shot an anti-ship cruise missile at a U.S. naval destroyer, according to U.S. Central Command.

Middle East tinderbox threatens to explode as Pakistan air force launches airstrikes on Iran at 'militant targets' it says are behind missiles that killed two children
The strikes in Sistan and Baluchestan province follow Iran´s attack Tuesday on Pakistani soil that killed two children in the southwestern Baluchistan province
The air attacks imperil diplomatic relations between the two neighbors, as Iran and Pakistan have long regarded each other with suspicion over militant strikes
They also raise the threat of a full-blown war breaking out in a Middle East - already plagued by Israel 's now months-long conflict with Hamas in Gaza
By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:22 EST, 18 January 2024 | Updated: 03:28 EST, 18 January 2024
Pakistan's air force has launched retaliatory airstrikes on two alleged militant positions in Iran, days after an Iranian airstrike killed two children in the country.
The air attacks in Sistan and Baluchestan province Thursday killed at least seven - and threaten to further enflame tensions between the two nations.
The strikes also imperil already dodgy diplomatic relations between the neighbors, as Iran and nuclear-armed Pakistan have long regarded each other with suspicion.
They also raise the threat of a full-blown war breaking out in a Middle East - already plagued by Israel's now months-long conflict with Hamas.
Iraq, meanwhile, has recalled its ambassador from Iran for consultations, after Iran admitted to carrying out the missile and drone operation in the Baluchistan province in Western Pakistan Tuesday.
Photos out of Eastern Iran - near Saravan some 20 miles from the border - appear to show smoke engulfing much of the city early Thursday, as a fire continued to burn from one of the targeted buildings,
The exactly location of the hit structure, as of Thursday morning, was not specified, but Pakistani Armed Forces sources labeled the site a 'militant compound.'
Iranians, meanwhile, continue to report significant damage to multiple residential buildings and possible civilian casualties near the city.
As photos show some of the damage, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry issued a statement justifying the country's actions.
'This morning's action was taken in light of credible intelligence of impending large scale terrorist activities,' it read.
'This action is a manifestation of Pakistan's unflinching resolve to protect and defend its national security against all threats.'
The agency went on to describe the operation as 'a series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes,' despite some reports of hit residential buildings and potential civilian casualties.
Further stirring the figurative Middle East pot is the fact that Iran already staged multiple airstrikes in Iraq and Syria late Monday - after an Islamic State-claimed suicide bombing that killed over 90 people earlier in the month.
Several insurgent groups, meanwhile operate in both Iran and Pakistan - including the Jaish al-Adl Sunni separatist group that was targeted by Tehran in its own strike - adding to an already volatile situation.
They all have a common goal of an independent Baluchistan for ethnic Baluch areas in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and Pakistan´s Baluchistan province, as well as Iran´s neighboring Sistan and Baluchestan province, have faced the brunt of their efforts.
That said, Pakistan named its operation Thursday 'Marg Bar Sarmachar' - a reference to famous Farsi saying used in Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, with the first two words meaning death to, and usually used to refer to both the US and Israel.
Meanwhile, in the local Baluch language, 'sarmachar' means guerrilla - and is commonly used by the militants operating in the cross-border region.
A deputy governor of Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province, Ali Reza Marhamati, gave the casualty figures from Thursday's strike in a telephone interview, saying the dead included three women and four children.
He did not immediately elaborate, other than to say that the dead were not Iranian citizens.
HalVash, an advocacy group for the Baluch people, shared images online that appeared to show the remains of the munitions used in the attack.
It said a number of homes had been struck in Saravan, a city in Iran´s Sistan and Baluchestan province. It shared videos showing a mud-walled building destroyed and smoke rising over the strike immediately after.
Thursday's development came a day after Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Tehran because of Tuesday's strikes by Iran inside Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province. Iran claimed it targeted bases for a militant Sunni separatist group.
It drew strong condemnation from Pakistan, which denounced the attack as a 'blatant violation' of its airspace and said it killed two children.
If Marhamati's account of the casualties is correct, the country duplicated Pakistan's minor-killing offense at least two fold.
As Iranians continue to assess the full scope of the attack, the war more than a thousand miles west in Israel continues to rage.
Another 1,000 miles southwest, four fresh strikes were carried out by the US on Yemen Tuesday, targeting anti-ship ballistic missiles used by the Houthi rebels.
On Tuesday, shortly after Iran's attack on Pakistani soil, the Iran-backed group warned that British and American ships in the Red Sea have now become 'legitimate targets', following joint strikes against military sites run by the group that's been described by Joe Biden as 'terrorists.'
The Houthis have sporadically targeted ships in the region, but the attacks have ramped up since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
In response, the US launched Operation Prosperity Guardian - an international coalition to safeguard the region, with many other countries, including Spain and the UK, taking part.
A reported 1,200 commercial ships have passed through the sea since the operation was launched on December, with none hit by drone or missile strikes until the first phase of the Sunday strike, when militants attacked the Hangzhou with several missiles.
US Navy Vice Admiral Brad Cooper on Friday had already warned that even with the taskforce, the Houthis do not seem set on ending their 'reckless' attacks, after targeting more than 100 ships in the Red Sea since November.
The Sunday attack shows the group's continued resolve to support Hamas, which Israel recently pledged to continue to try to eradicate.
The incidents have fueled concerns about the danger of the Israeli offensive sparking a wider conflict and a simultaneous rise in gas prices, as it is also one of the most important routes for oil and liquefied natural gas shipments in the Middle East.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Navy for comment.

IRAN FIRES (MORE) BALLISTIC MISSILES; THIS TIME AT SITES INSIDE PAKISTAN
World Hal Turner 16 January 2024 Hits: 15175
The government of Iran has fired ballistic missiles into neighboring Pakistan, allegedly targeting the headquarters of Jaish Ul-Adl "terrorist group" in Balochistan, the southwestern province of Pakistan.
Pakistan is a nuclear-armed country.
For Iran to have hit the territory of a nuclear-armed country would seem to indicate, in a not-so-subtle way, that Iran has no reason to fear Pakistan nukes, likely because Iran has their own!
Just speculation at this point . . .
Of course, Pakistan being silent COULD mean there was an agreement between Iran and Pakistan for this strike. Pakistan and Iran have maintained good relations for years.
More coming.
Developing . . . .
UPDATE 1:42 PM EST --
No comment so far from Pakistan. Strange. Or . . . . ominous . . . not a word from them.
After all, they knew of this site.
It is THEIR country.
UPDATE 2:01 PM EST --
Ahhhhh Ha! About this "Terrorist" group, Jaish ul-Adl:
Jaish ul-Adl, or Jaish al-Adl is a Sunni Salafi separatist militant organization that operates mainly in southeastern Iran, where there is a substantial concentration of Sunni Baluchis and a porous border with Pakistan.
The group has claimed responsibility for several attacks against military personnel in Iran.
The group has asserted that it is a separatist group fighting for independence of Sistan and Baluchistan Province and greater rights for Baluch people.
The group also maintain ties with Ansar Al-Furqan which is another Iranian Baloch Sunni armed group operating in Iran. Salahuddin Farooqui is the current head of Jaish ul-Adl. His brother, Amir Naroui, was killed by Taliban in Afghanistan.
The group was founded in 2012 by members of Jundallah, a Sunni militant group that had been weakened following Iran's capture and execution of its leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, in 2010. Its first major attack occurred in October 2013.
Jaish ul-Adl is a designated terrorist organization by Iran, Japan, New Zealand and the United States.
Jaish al-Adl has cooperated with Kurdish separatist groups in Iran and has also strongly denounced Iranian intervention in the Syrian civil war.
Iranian state media has alleged that Saudi Arabia and the United States are key backers of the group.
Hal Turner Remarks:
The Iranian missile strike last night in Erbil, Iraq, took out an Israeli Spy center which was allegedly coordinating strikes against Iranian targets throughout the Middle East. That attack last night also hit elements of "ISIS" inside Syria whose notorious reputation for barbarism is well known, worldwide.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited known ISIS "terrorists" who had been flown into Israeli hospitals after being wounded. Why would the Israeli Prime Minister do that unless . . . "ISIS" was a creation of Israel and the collective West?
So blatant was Israeli help to "ISIS" that instead of people calling it "Islamic States of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), they began calling it Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS).
Today, Iran has now hit this clearly anti-Iranian group inside Pakistan, which they say is backed by Saudi Arabia and the US.
It is now clear Iran is slaughtering Israeli and US "Terrorist PROXIES." Yes . . . PROXIES.
It looks to me as thought the gloves are coming off!

North Korea training, providing weapons to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis - report
North Korea operates an illegal arms smuggling network used to finance its nuclear weapons program, across the world, according to US and UN investigators.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
JANUARY 17, 2024 10:23 Updated: JANUARY 17, 2024 15:19
During the war in Gaza, the IDF recovered large quantities of weapons from the Gaza Strip that apparently were produced in North Korea, as reported by the South Korean National Intelligence Service.
Since these weapons were seized, new information has been published revealing the current and historical relationship between North Korea and Hamas, as well as other terrorist organizations, including Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Syria, and the Houthis, according to a study by the Stimson Research Institute.
On October 16, Israeli Ambassador to South Korea Akiva Tor expressed concern that Hamas had used North Korean weapons against Israel and vowed to destroy North Korean weapons stocks in the Gaza Strip.
On October 17, a senior official from South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff claimed that “Hamas is believed to be directly or indirectly linked to North Korea militarily in various areas, such as the weapons trade, tactical guidance, and training.”
North Korea’s state Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) called the allegations that it arms Hamas “a groundless and false rumor.” It accused the US of creating the conspiracy to deflect from its own complicity in the Gaza war.
This statement was undermined by the North Korean F-7 rocket-propelled grenades from Hamas’s arsenal that were captured by Israeli forces. In addition, Israeli forces found North Korean Bang-122 artillery shells on the Israel-Gaza border, and a Hamas-aligned terrorist group in Gaza possesses North Korean-made 122-mm multiple rocket launchers.
North Korea's history of partnership with Iran and Syria
North Korea has a long history of partnership with Iran and Syria, detailed in the Stimson report, and as a result, its military technology has reached Iran’s terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
Since the start of the war, North Korean state media has repeatedly illustrated violence perpetrated by Israel and has whitewashed Hamas. North Korea’s party daily newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, stated that the international community believed “Israel’s constant criminal acts against the Palestinian people” caused the war. The state media has not shown the carnage of the October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians.
North Korea historically has described Israel as an “imperialist satellite state” and recognizes Palestinian sovereignty over the entirety of Israeli territory, except the Golan Heights.
During the 2008-2009 and 2014 Gaza wars, North Korea said Israel was committing crimes against humanity. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) chairman, Yasser Arafat, received North Korean weapons from Kim Il Sung.
North Korean intelligence officers provided training to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) commander George Habash and facilitated the PFLP-Japanese Red Army 1972 terror attack at the Lod Airport in Israel, the report revealed.
Between the end of the Cold War and 2007, these ties weakened. However, they strengthened after the 2014 Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, when Hamas turned to North Korea for military assistance. Hamas reportedly gave North Korea a six-figure payment for rockets and military-use communications equipment. Hamas conducted this transaction through a third-party company in Lebanon.
At the time, North Korea said allegations that it was performing such activities were “utterly useless sophism and sheer fiction let loose by the US.”
Once again, North Korean Bulsae-2 anti-tank guided missiles were found in the inventory of the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, a Gaza-based terrorist group and one-time ally of Hamas.
In May 2021, a small quantity of F-7 rockets were found with the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the same Brigade that was part of the attacks on October 7.
This transfer of weaponry from North Korea to Hamas is largely performed through third parties, the Stimson report stated, possibly from North Korea to Iran to Sudan and then to Egypt, where arms are trafficked to Hamas through Hamas’s tunnel network.
In 2009, a North Korean plane smuggling 35 tonnes of rocket launchers, grenades, and missiles was seized in Thailand. US and UN investigators said it is part of a global North Korean illegal arms smuggling network used to finance its nuclear weapons program.
North Korea ties with Hezbollah and the Houthis
In addition to Hamas, North Korea has a history of ties with Hezbollah and the Houthis. In the 1980s, Hezbollah terrorists arrived in North Korea for military training. After 2000, North Korean instructors came to Lebanon to train Hezbollah how to build underground bunkers to store arms, food, and medical facilities. Hezbollah’s tunnel network that stretches to the Israel-Lebanon border was built with North Korean guidance.
North Korea also allegedly transferred improvised Katyusha and Grad rockets to Hezbollah, also transferred through third parties in Syria and Lebanon from Iran. North Korea has aided Iran’s production of several types of rockets, which were then transferred to Hezbollah.
In July 2015, South Korean intelligence officials revealed that the Houthis had fired 20 North Korean-made Scud missiles at Saudi Arabia. The Houthis allegedly captured these scud missiles on the battlefield, as these had been purchased originally by the Yemen Armed Forces from North Korea in 2002.
A year later, Houthi's leadership invited North Korean officials to meet in Damascus, Syria, to discuss technology transfers. These arms transfers have not been officially confirmed.

A Form Of Invisible Warfare Used By Global Govt To Overthrow Nations Is Being Used Upon Americans - How 'Weather Terrorism' Is Killing People, Destroying Agriculture & Will Starve Millions
- A sick and diseased populace is a submissive and overly compliant one
By Stefan Stanford - Live Free Or Die - All News Pipeline January 17, 2024
With a huge part of the country now stuck in a deep freeze of epic proportions, with temperatures WAY below freezing now 'the norm' for hundreds of millions of Americans, and that deep freeze already leading to a number of deaths from hypothermia nationwide, the website State of the Nation put out an alarming story today, pointing out that, with 'weaponized weather' proven to wreak havoc around the world for years now, this bizarrely cold system has all the signs of another 'attack' upon humanity.
Now while 'weaponized weather' might sound like 'another crazy conspiracy theory' being spouted by people with too much time on their hands, all one needs to do is visit the 'Patents' page of Dane Wigington's GeoEngineering Watch website to see that the US govt and globalists have been working on inventions to 'modify' our weather for well over 100 years, and have been quite successful at creating 'systems' they've used for the worst of intentions, just as this SOTN story warns of this current weather system.
Warning us that NWO Geoengineers are routinely manufacturing extreme weather just like today’s nationwide deep freeze, and that doing so during the cold weather allows them to wreak havoc with our immune systems so that as many folks as possible will get very ill and die, three must-read new stories over at Natural News also warn us just how they're attacking humanity secretly, with this 'weaponized weather' having deadly repercussions. Each of those stories are linked directly below.
Arctic blast was engineered to cause maximum damage to farms, roads and infrastructure, and interruptions to society
Dane Wigington tells Mike Adams GEOENGINEERING is intended to destroy world agriculture and starve millions
Dane Wigington and Mike Adams: Awareness is key to fighting off climate terrorism aimed at destroying our natural habitat
With Mike Adams recently interviewing Dane Wigington as heard in the 1st video at the bottom of this story, warning us that this Arctic blast will end up having devastating repercussions that last much longer than the cold itself, as we're warned, these geoengineering efforts, which include chemical ice nucleating cloud seeding, are already ongoing, and will end up destroying agriculture and ushering in famine.
And while many might argue that 'chemical ice nucleating cloud seeding' is just a 'crazy conspiracy theory,' we can thank Dane Wigington for his amazing work over the years of gathering the patents that prove to us that such technology to 'alter' the weather really exists, with Wigington providing us with the documentation proving his point with the following patents that you can verify yourself to this day.
3127107 – March 31, 1964 – Generation of Ice-Nucleating Crystals
3587966 – June 28, 1971 – Freezing Nucleation
3858805 – January 7, 1975 – Ice Nucleation by Micas
4009828 – March 1 1977 – Organic Nucleating Agent for both Warm and Cold Clouds
WO2020148644A1 – July 23, 2020 – 3d Reduced Graphene Oxide/Sio 2 Composite for Ice Nucleation
2021063943 – April 8, 2021 – Bacterial Preparations for Ice Nucleation
2021152336 – August 8, 2021 – Method of Cloud Seeding using Natural Ice Nucleating Agents
Still think that 'weather modification' is just some 'crazy conspiracy theory'?
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
And while still to this day, after years and years of proof, we still hear people calling 'weather modification' a 'crazy conspiracy theory,' such as this January 12th Penn Live story titled "Trump backer floats wild conspiracy involving weather manipulation, Nikki Haley and the Iowa Caucus," even CNN back on December 3rd of 2020 published this story titled "China to expand weather modification program to cover area larger than India."
Reporting in that story that, by using 'cloud seeding,' a technology that CNN reports "has been around for decades," China will be able to produce artificial rain or snowfall in an area reaching 5.5 million sq km, while over 580,000 sq km (224,000 sq miles) will be covered by hail suppression technologies, how can anybody still argue that 'weather modification technologies' are just 'a conspiracy theory'?
With that 2020 CNN story also reporting China has long sought to control the weather to protect farming areas and to ensure clear skies for key events – it seeded clouds ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics to reduce smog and avoid rain ahead of the competition. Key political meetings held in the Chinese capital are notorious for enjoying beautiful clear skies, thanks both to weather modification and the shutting down of nearby factories, we have to ask, if 'weather modification' is documented as being used 'for good,' isn't just the opposite true, that such technologies can also be used to 'wage wars and wreak havoc'?
As this story over at the website Eightify warns when reporting upon Dane Wigington's must-watch documentary titled "The Dimming," which we have embedded as the 2nd video at the bottom of this story, Climate engineering operations, such as the spraying of toxic particles into the atmosphere, are causing global dimming, harming the environment and human health, and pose a serious national security problem that needs further investigation and transparency. From their story.:
- Climate engineering has been used as a tool for destabilizing and toppling nations, facilitating military occupations by hostile countries.
- Engineering the weather through geo-engineering can be used as a form of invisible warfare, allowing the infliction of droughts without popular opposition.
- Geoengineering is considered a new Manhattan Project on an inconceivable scale, with governments worldwide actively or passively participating in these controversial operations.
- Hurricanes can be manipulated through radio frequency transmissions and atmospheric particulate spraying, a practice that has been ongoing since at least 1947.
- Aluminum nanoparticles, being highly reflective and desiccant, are used by climate engineers to reduce direct sunlight and disrupt the global hydrological cycle, potentially affecting the Earth's climate.
- Climate engineering operations need to be exposed and halted in order for the planet to find a new equilibrium and sustain life in the future.
- Time is running out to stop interfering with Earth's life support systems and allow the planet to respond to the damage done to it on its own, as climate engineering is not a cure but a curse worse than the disease.
So while the globalists scream and moan about 'climate change' and 'global warming,' they themselves are busy inflicting catastrophic damage to our planet Earth, creating much bigger problems for 'the environment' than were ever here before their deadly programs came along. As that previously referenced Eightify story warns, "climate engineering is not a cure but a curse worse than the disease."
And as Breitbart reports in this new story, one way this weather is wreaking absolute havoc with our infrastructure is in the electric car industry. Reporting that the frigid weather in Chicago has turned electronic vehicle charging stations into car graveyards, as that story reports, "A surge of stranded electric vehicles, predominantly Tesla cars, has overtaken the Oak Brook Supercharger station in Chicago, as a severe cold snap renders many EVs powerless and immobile."
Giving us just another reason to avoid electric cars as if they were the plague, with one man describing the scene perfectly as "a bunch of dead robots," as this Natural News story warns, this weather terrorism is also wreaking havoc upon roads, our utility systems and particular, our agricultural system. From that story briefly which reports on the 1st video below and the discussion between Mike Adams and Dane Wigington.
The two also discussed how the manipulated cold weather is hitting the breadbasket of America. "It's Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and parts of Colorado. The food production in this area is massive. This is what feeds much of the United States," Adams pointed out. "In terms of wheat, corn, barley and all these things that are grown in the Midwest and the Upper Midwest, there are devastating temperatures here now."
Wigington also mentioned that the soils are so radically compromised that they’re nearly sterile. "When you kill the soil microbiome, you turn what was soil into dirt. These types of flash freezes are being used to crush crops all over the globe," he revealed. He also exposed that the globalists are spraying defoliants that cause leaves to drop off prematurely. There are also various toxic elements such as aluminum, barium, strontium, manganese and polymer fibers in the air as well as microplastic particles in bottles of so-called clear drinking water.
Farms are also being targeted, according to Wiginton and Adams. "Farmers in Germany are erupting right now with mass protests because the government is taking away the diesel fuel subsidies that made them competitive with other European nations," Adams cited. The Health Ranger further set self-proclaimed vaccine czar Bill Gates as an example, as he is rolling out aerosolized vaccines. "They're spraying all kinds of things in the air right now like malathion," he said referring to the man-made organophosphate insecticide that is commonly used to control mosquitoes and a variety of insects.
With the previously mentioned State of the Nation story also warning us about this weather warfare being used upon us that "A sick and diseased populace is a submissive and overly compliant one," and that "killing and incapacitating as many US citizens as possible is the global cabal's primary goal," their story warned that many Americans are now particularly vulnerable to this weather manipulation with their immune systems suffering from the devastating effects of a very stealthy “jab and sicken” strategy overlaid by geoengineered extreme weather patterns.
And as that previously referenced Eightify story warns, the impacts upon our planet Earth's life support systems of 'geoengineering' are devastating, long term, and irreversible. Once again, from that story.:
- Climate engineering operations, aimed at cooling the planet, are actually derailing Earth's life support systems and worsening overall warming, making them the most insane endeavor ever deployed by the human race.
- Climate engineering is the single greatest and most immediate threat to the planet, surpassing even nuclear cataclysm.
- Climate engineering involves manufacturing winter weather events using chemical ice nucleation, creating the illusion of cold temperatures and sensationalized headlines, while masking the true severity of polar meltdown.
- Climate engineering is the main cause of unprecedented wildfires globally, as it disrupts the hydrological cycle, destroys the ozone layer, and increases the flammability of forests.
- Climate engineering, intended to mask the effects of climate change, has actually worsened the situation by altering wind and ocean currents, leading to massive methane blowouts in unexpected areas like the Arctic.
- Plankton populations globally are plummeting due to extreme UV radiation caused by climate engineering, which is a significant threat to oxygen production and ultimately human survival.
- "The reality is, if you look at where this thing is going, you know better we deal with it. Now. It's like cancer. It's only going to get worse."
Just as Steve Quayle had warned in his book "Weather Wars & Un-Natural Disasters," “Technology will make available, to the leaders of the major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of security forces need be appraised… Techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.” And we're witnessing that now, right before our eyes. Yet most still do not see it.
If you still haven't bothered to purchase a generator, we've got a bunch of them linked at the very bottom of this story. With this absolutely devastating weather proving to be deadly for those who are unable to keep themselves warm, and power outages being seen all over the country, having a generator to keep the electricity going in a worst case scenario could be the difference between life and death.

Digital Kill Switches: How Tyrannical Governments Stifle Political Dissent
Guest Post by John W. Whitehead January 17, 2024
“No president from either party should have the sole power to shut down or take control of the internet or any other of our communication channels during an emergency.”—Senator Rand Paul
What’s to stop the U.S. government from throwing the kill switch and shutting down phone and internet communications in a time of so-called crisis?
After all, it’s happening all over the world.
Communications kill switches have become tyrannical tools of domination and oppression to stifle political dissent, shut down resistance, forestall election losses, reinforce military coups, and keep the populace isolated, disconnected and in the dark, literally and figuratively.
As the Guardian reports, “From Ukraine to Myanmar, government-run internet outages are picking up pace around the world. In 2021, there were 182 shutdowns in 34 countries… Countries across Africa and Asia have turned to shutdowns in a bid to control behaviour, while India, largely in the conflict-ridden region of Jammu and Kashmir, plunged into digital darkness more times than any other last year… Civil unrest in Ethiopia and Kazakhstan has triggered internet shutdowns as governments try to prevent political mobilisation and stop news about military suppression from emerging.”
In an internet-connected age, killing the internet is tantamount to bringing everything—communications, commerce, travel, the power grid—to a standstill.
Tyrants and would-be tyrants rely on this “cloak of darkness” to advance their agendas.
In Myanmar, for example, the internet shutdown came on the day a newly elected government was to have been sworn in. That’s when the military staged a digital coup and seized power. Under cover of a communications blackout that cut off the populace from the outside world and each other, the junta “carried out nightly raids, smashing down doors to drag out high-profile politicians, activists and celebrities.”
These government-imposed communications shutdowns serve to not only isolate, terrorize and control the populace, but also underscore the citizenry’s lack of freedom in the face of the government’s limitless power.
Yet as University of California Irvine law professor David Kaye explains, these kill switches are no longer exclusive to despotic regimes. They have “migrated into a toolbox for governments that actually do have the rule of law.”
This is what digital authoritarianism looks like in a technological age.
Digital authoritarianism, as the Center for Strategic and International Studies cautions, involves the use of information technology to surveil, repress, and manipulate the populace, endangering human rights and civil liberties, and co-opting and corrupting the foundational principles of democratic and open societies, “including freedom of movement, the right to speak freely and express political dissent, and the right to personal privacy, online and off.”
For those who insist that it can’t happen here, it can and it has.
In 2005, cell service was disabled in four major New York tunnels, reportedly to avert potential bomb detonations via cell phone.
In 2009, those attending President Obama’s inauguration had their cell signals blocked—again, same rationale.
And in 2011, San Francisco commuters had their cell phone signals shut down, this time, to thwart any possible protests over a police shooting of a homeless man.
With shutdowns becoming harder to detect, who’s to say it’s not still happening?
Although an internet kill switch is broadly understood to be a complete internet shutdown, it can also include a broad range of restrictions such as content blocking, throttling, filtering, complete shutdowns, and cable cutting.
As Global Risk Intel explains:
“Content blocking is a relatively moderate method that blocks access to a list of selected websites or applications. When users access these sites and apps, they receive notifications that the server could not be found or that access was denied by the network administrator. A more subtle method is throttling. Authorities decrease the bandwidth to slow down the speed at which specific websites can be accessed. A slow internet connection discourages users to connect to certain websites and does not arouse immediate suspicion. Users may assume that connection service is slow but may not conclude that this circumstance was authorized by the government. Filtering is another tool to censor targeted content and erases specific messages and terms that the government does not approve of.”
How often do most people, experiencing server errors and slow internet speeds, chalk it up to poor service? Who would suspect the government of being behind server errors and slow internet speeds?
Then again, this is the same government that has subjected us to all manner of encroachments on our freedoms (lockdowns, mandates, restrictions, contact tracing programs, heightened surveillance, censorship, overcriminalization, shadow banning, etc.) in order to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, preserve the integrity of elections, and combat disinformation.
These tactics have become the tools of domination and oppression in an internet-dependent age.
It really doesn’t matter what the justifications are for such lockdowns. No matter the rationale, the end result is the same: an expansion of government power in direct proportion to the government’s oppression of the citizenry.

NBC Accused of Editing Out ‘Jesus Christ’ from Christian NFL QB’s Interview
Melinda Davies January 18, 2024
NBC is getting blowback for reportedly censoring a reference to Jesus Christ from Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud’s postgame interview.
Stroud, a rising star in his rookie NFL season, allegedly mentioned Jesus Christ during his speech, but this portion was apparently cut from the broadcast.
“First and foremost, I just want to give glorious praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I mean, it’s been amazing being in this city for as short as I’ve been.”
However, viewers claimed that the particular mention of ‘Jesus Christ’ was not included in the version aired by NBC.
The incident occurred after a record-breaking playoff performance by CJ Stroud.

EU Leader: Mass Censorship Will Help Us Advance WEF Agenda
Hunter FieldingJanuary 18, 2024
The unelected leader of the European Union, Ursula Von Der Leyen, has told members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that her bloc will help advance the globalist agenda through mass censorship of the general public.
For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation, Ursula von der Leyen said.
The President of the European Commission said this while giving a “special address” on the second day of the WEF’s annual meeting being held in Davos this week.
The theme of the meeting this year is “rebuilding trust,” which is wishful thinking.
“These risks, [disinformation and misinformation], are serious,” von der Leyen said, “because they limit our ability to tackle the big global challenges we are facing.
“Changes in our climate and our geopolitical climate shifts in our demography and in our technology.”
You can watch von der Leyen’s “special address” on WEF’s website HERE and you can read a transcript published by WEF HERE, although it’s probably not advisable to trust that WEF has transcribed it accurately, completely and/or truthfully.
WEF’s table of top risks for the next two years compared to the longer term of 10 years shows WEF believes they will be able to successfully tackle what they call “misinformation” in the next few years with “misinformation and disinformation” dropping from top spot to sixth.
We can assume that means, at the very least, even more censorship from now on.
It must be remembered that what WEF calls “misinformation and disinformation” translates into “information that does not agree with their approved narrative.”
Von der Leyen provided a solution for the risks WEF is concerned about: “This is a time to drive global collaboration more than ever before …
“I believe it can be done, and I believe that Europe can and must take the lead in shaping that global response.
“The starting point for that is to look deeper at [WEF’s] Global Risk Report to map out a way forward.”
In what follows, text contained within quotation marks are excerpts from von der Leyen’s speech. It begins with von der Leyen describing WEF’s much-touted public-private partnership model. The merging of public and private interests, where the state becomes business and business becomes the state.
“While governments hold many of the levers to deal with the great challenges of our time, businesses have the innovation, the technology, the talents to deliver the solutions we need to fight threats like climate change or industrial-scale disinformation. Europe is uniquely placed to show how this can work …”
“And this is more important than ever as we start 2024, the biggest electoral year in history. Democracies across the world will head to the polls and half of the global population will be affected. This includes over 450 million people in the European Union, a union of 27 democracies …”
“Of course, like in all democracies, our freedom comes with risks. There will always be those who try to exploit our openness, both from inside and out. There will always be attempts to put us off track. For example, with disinformation and misinformation.”
Von der Leyen then proceeded to provide details about Russia in the context of Ukraine as an example of disinformation and misinformation which she spoke of as fact. However, according to RT, von der Leyen’s “facts” featured outright economic falsehoods as well as fresh reports from the Ukrainian frontline – circa 2022.
“Let me go back to the number one concern of the Global Risk Report: disinformation and misinformation. Tackling this has been our focus since the very beginning of my mandate. With our Digital Services Act, we defined the responsibility of large internet platforms on the content they promote and propagate,” she said.
The Digital Services Act is the most ambitious regulation in the world. “There is no other legislative act in the world having this level of ambition to regulate social media, online marketplaces, very large online platforms (“VLOPs”) and very large online search engines (“VLOSEs”),” the website for the Act states.
Kanekoa The Great noted some highlights from an All-In Podcast discussing what this means in practical terms.

Bill Gates Boasts AI Will Eradicate Independent Media From Society
Fact checked
January 15, 2024 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, US
Bill Gates has boasted that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help the global elites eradicate independent media from the Internet.
In a recent episode of “Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates,” Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, and tech billionaire Bill Gates controversially delved into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for maintaining democracy and promoting world peace.
Infowars.com reports: The conversation explored the idea of using artificial intelligence as an instrument to foster unity in society, enhance global amity, and help overcome geopolitical polarization.
Microsoft, founded by Gates, and OpenAI, whose CEO Altman is currently working closely with Microsoft, are promoters of using AI to solve global issues.
Gates spoke excitedly on the topic: “I do think AI, in the best case, can help us with some hard problems…Including ‘polarization’ because potentially that breaks democracy and that would be a super bad thing.”
In addition to resolving polarization, the two heavyweights also discussed the notion of AI potentially acting as a peacemaking tool.
Gates said, “Whether AI can help us go to war less, be less polarized; you’d think as you drive intelligence…I’d love to have people working on the hardest human problems, like whether we get along with each other. I think that would be extremely positive if we thought the AI could contribute to humans getting along with each other.”
Sam Altman responded positively to Gates’s vision, stating: “We’ve got to find out and see, but I’m very optimistic. I agree with you, what a contribution that would be.”
“If the key is to stop the entire world from doing something dangerous, you’d almost want global government, which today for many issues, like climate, terrorism, we see that it’s hard for us to cooperate,” Gates said, when the topic came to global issues like nuclear.
On the topic of polarization, Altman and Gates lamented that the government, they allege, didn’t act on social media “polarization,” but hoped that there would be potential with AI.
“I don’t understand why the government was not able to be more effective around social media, but it seems worth trying to understand as a case study for what they’re going to go through now with AI,” Altman added.
The discussion notably omits a critical aspect: the influence of the programmers’ own beliefs and principles on the AI’s functioning. The designers and developers of AI systems inherently embed their own ideas about democracy, free speech, and governance into the AI’s algorithms. This raises significant concerns about the impact of these personal biases on the AI’s neutrality and its ability to make fair, unbiased decisions.
The prospect of AI systems being programmed with particular ideologies could have profound implications for free speech. If an AI is designed to favor certain political or social viewpoints, (excluding those it decides are “polarizing”) it could potentially suppress opposing perspectives, leading to a form of digital censorship.
This becomes especially concerning in the context of AI platforms that manage large-scale public discourse, such as social media algorithms or news aggregation tools. The power to subtly shape public opinion and control the narrative on critical issues could be an unintended consequence of AI programmed with specific democratic ideals. Or perhaps that’s the intention all along.

Migrant crisis plunges Denver's main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $130 MILLION of treatments they were unable to pay for
Denver's main hospital has provided care worth $136 million that they have no received compensation for, putting the institute at a 'critical' stage
A total of 8,000 migrants who came to the city from Central America have made around 20,000 visits to the health system, causing problems for Denver Health
These included trips for dental emergencies, mental health counseling and childbirth
By Joe Hutchison For Dailymail.Com
Published: 23:59 EST, 17 January 2024 | Updated: 03:57 EST, 18 January 2024
The migrant crisis in Denver has plunged the city's main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $136 million in treatment they couldn't pay for.
Denver Health lost $2 million in 2022 - but that was substantially-reduced by a $20 million cash injection from the state.
In 2022, the hospital system lost $35 million, with bosses warning of 'dire consequences' for the hospital if 2024 is as bad as the previous two.
The rise in costs has coincided with the unprecedented number of immigrants who crossed America's border and arrived in Denver. Around 36,000 have arrived so far - many of them bused from Texas - with 18,000 deciding to stay.
Denver Health CEO Donna Lynne said that 8,000 migrants who came to the city from Central America made around 20,000 visits to the health system.
These included trips for dental emergencies, mental health counseling and childbirth.
Dr. Taylor McCormick, associate director of Pediatrics Emergency Medicine at Denver Health, The Denver Gazette: 'Overall, these patients don’t have medical insurance. Denver Health is eating the cost for many of these visits.'
That $136 million unpaid includes care to people covered by Medicaid which was later reimbursed and $100 million of the unpaid bills were run up by Denver residents, not migrants.
Further clarification on how much was spent treating migrant patients who were unable to pay has not yet been shared.
Lynne said: 'What I think is not being said is that Denver Health is at a critical, critical point, and that we need to take this up in 2024.
'Because our costs exceed our revenues, we are turning down patients every day, particularly in the area of mental health and substance abuse.
'While I have tremendous compassion for what’s going on, it’s heartbreaking, it’s going to break Denver Health.'
While the hospital is still to calculate their final numbers for 2023, executives have said they will require more support to continue operating as it has been.
Dr. Steve Federico, chief of government and community affairs, told the Greeley Tribune: 'If we were to have another year like (2022), it would have dire consequences.'
State Rep. Judy Amabile has sponsored a bill in the statehouse which would commit Colorado to financially support Denver Health each year with $5 million.
It comes as Denver's mayor Mike Johnston said he will call on Congress to take action to support the city in receiving migrants.
Mayor Johnston said migrant aid could cost the city $180 million this year and has asked departments to cut their budgets some 15 percent to pay for it.
As of Wednesday, 4,400 migrants were in Denver-run shelters across the city.
Mayor Johnson, Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Representatives Jason Crow and Brittany Pettersen will hold a press conference on Thursday.

Tuesday, January 16, 2024
Heavy snow and bitter cold temperatures are creating record high demand for electricity across the Southeast region. As a result, the Tennessee Valley Authority is asking customers to be aware of their power consumption, specifically between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday.
TVA is actively monitoring weather conditions, and our power system remains stable. Conservation requests are often used in the power industry to help lower demand during a specific time and does not indicate TVA is experiencing emergency conditions. If you are experiencing an outage, please check with your local electric provider for more information.
TVA employees and local power companies are working around the clock to keep the electricity flowing. Officials said, "Together, we are doing our part to reduce the strain on the power grid. TVA has lowered thermostats in offices and is keeping lights off in buildings and plants when it is safe to do so."
Why is TVA recommending power conservation?
Extremely cold temperatures and near-zero wind chill cause an increase in power demand for heating over an extended period of time for more than 10 million people across the TVA seven-state region.
Colder temperatures mean more people are turning to electrified heat sources, pushing demand higher to what is referred to as a “peak.”
Winter limits the availability of solar generation in the morning hours.
What is Peak Demand?
Peak demand is the highest number of megawatts consumed in a specific period of time by power consumers all across the TVA system.
The record for system load at this time is 33,482 MW set on August 16, 2007. The previous record load for a winter day was 33,427 MW set on December 23, 2022.
In the past year, TVA has added approximately 1,500 megawatts of new natural gas generation — enough to power 878,000 homes.
What can you do to help?
Set your thermostat to 65-68 degrees. You can save as much as 10% per year on heating and cooling by turning your thermostat down 7°–10°F for 8 hours a day in the fall and winter.
Ensure your window coverings on the sunny side of your house are open.
Unplug unused electronics.
Unblock your air vents.
Reduce your energy usage by turning off non-essential appliances and lights and refrain from using large appliances during the coldest part of the day.
Postpone use of hot water and adjust water heater’s temperature.
Weatherstrip doors and windows
Commercial Business: Turn off any lights and office equipment (or place in sleep mode) when not in use and turn off air-conditioning/heating outside of business hours.
TVA will communicate further as conditions evolve due to continued freezing temperatures.

Winter Woes – Green New Deal Turns Deadly
Posted Jan 17, 2024 by Martin Armstrong |
Over 150 million Americans are under a winter chill advisory due to life-threatening temperatures. Every state besides Hawaii has issued some form of caution to residents as nearly 80% of the nation faces below-freezing weather. Extreme weather highlights the importance of fossil fuels, as there is NO reliable alternative.
Texas is on the verge of having another power grid failure of the ERCOT system. Around 11,000 Texans experienced power outages on Monday. In 2021, a winter storm devastated the state, millions lost power, and hundreds lost their lives, causing state leaders to move further from renewables. Governor Abbott blamed solar and wind energy reliance for thrusting the state into a lethal situation, and called the Green New Deal “a deadly deal for the United States of America.”
EV owners across the nation are already feeling the impact. Tesla owners in the Chicago area have been unable to charge their vehicles due to the extreme cold. The frigid temperatures have caused the charging stations to become congested with non-charging and abandoned cars, leading to a challenging situation for the owners. Cold weather, in general, will hurt the ability of electric vehicles to charge properly, requiring the battery to be preconditioned to accept a fast charge.
Yet, the US government wants to implement electric school buses and military vehicles.
California plans to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035 under the Advanced Clean Cars II, which will ban ALL gas car sales. California has routinely seen its power grid weaken due to extreme weather. In the summer of 2022, the California Independent System Operator called for a “voluntary energy conservation” during the upcoming Labor Day weekend due to the failing power grid. They are asking residents to refrain from charging their cars between 4 PM and 9 PM, which is when demand peaks. “If left unmanaged, the power demanded from many electric vehicles charging simultaneously in the evening will amplify existing peak loads, potentially outstripping the grid’s current capacity to meet demand,” Cornell University’s College of Engineering stated.
The state estimates it will need 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, but they have a mere 80,000 currently. California does not have the infrastructure to implement this zero-emission ban without toppling the entire power grid. So, electric vehicles alone have the potential to take down California’s power grid.
Clearly, we are amidst a period of global cooling and not warming. This is part of nature’s cycle — we cannot intervene. The globalists have descended their private jets at Davos to discuss climate change and how they can eliminate the least desirable carbon — YOU. They will plot how to limit the public’s usage of essential resources, causing people worldwide to suffer under the belief that they must go without to save the world.
The New Green Deal has become deadly in America and all climate change initiatives threaten civilization at large. The globalists will never convince free thinkers that they must save the planet by limiting indispensable resources that are essential for certain states and nations to remain inhabitable.

UK weather: Britain wakes after coldest night of winter so far as Arctic air sends temperatures plummeting to -14C and Met Office map shows yellow warnings for snow and ice in the north
Coldest January night in five years as Dalwhinnie in Scotland falls to -14C (6.8F)
More than 1ft 4in (40cm) of snow could have accumulated by the end of Friday
By Mark Duell and Matthew Lodge
Published: 01:38 EST, 17 January 2024 | Updated: 10:49 EST, 17 January 2024
Britain has shivered through the coldest January night in five years and the chilliest of this winter so far as temperatures plunged well below zero and more snow fell.
The mercury plummeted to -14C (6.8F) at Dalwhinnie in the Highlands today, while Glasgow dropped to -9C (16F), Edinburgh to -7C (19F) and Newcastle to -6C (21F).
The big freeze made it the coldest night this winter so far, beating the -12.5C (9.5F) minimum temperature recorded at Altnaharra in Sutherland on December 3.
Forecasters had predicted some snow-covered parts of Scotland could reach -15C (5F) overnight, which would make it the coldest January night for 14 years. The last time the mercury dropped that low was in January 2010, when -22.3C was recorded.
The highest snow depths are currently all in Scotland, including 9.1in (23cm) at Lerwick, 7.1in (18cm) in Altnaharra, 5.9in (15cm) at Wick and 4.3in (11cm) in Aberdeen.
The Met Office has issued amber warnings for snow between 3pm today and 6pm tomorrow in North West Scotland and the Northern Isles - meaning road delays are likely, some vehicles could be stranded and rural communities might be cut off.
Yellow weather warnings of snow and ice were also updated this morning, with much of Scotland, northern England, parts of Wales and Northern Ireland covered throughout today, and southern and central Scotland affected by an ice warning.
Hundreds of schools again shut in Scotland today due to the severe weather - including all council schools and nurseries in Shetland and Orkney, 144 in the Highlands and about 90 in Aberdeenshire, while others delayed opening times.
Forecasters said there could be snow in the far South of England today, as well as a chance it will push 'slightly further north to bring more snow to southern counties'.
Freezing temperatures and snow will continue for the rest of this week because of cold Arctic air before 'potentially disruptive' stormy weather lands this weekend.
Meteorologists said a 'cold plunge of Arctic air' had moved south across the UK over the past few days, making it 5C to 6C lower than usual for this time of year.
A Met Office spokeswoman said the low temperatures are also due to how long the cold snap has lasted.
She said: 'It's due to the prolonged nature of this cold spell, it will have been lasting for quite a few days.
'A build up of snow, as well, just allows for the temperatures to get colder and colder and we don't often see a cold spell last three to five days.
'The air is coming directly from the Arctic, so it is exceptionally cold air.
'It's staying cold until Friday, and then looking further ahead into the weekend we've got some deep areas of low pressure pushing in, so a big change in weather type, and we could see some stormy conditions by the end of the week.
'The cold isn't lasting right to end of the week, but we have a very different type of potentially-disruptive weather arriving.'
The weather is forecast to turn stormy on Sunday, she added.
Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place across Scotland, much of northern England and parts of North Wales until tomorrow, then more mild temperatures are forecast along with wind and rain.
More than 1ft 4in (40cm) of snow could be seen on high ground in north-west Scotland by the end of Friday as it continues to build up over the coming days, the Met Office added.
Meanwhile, lower ground in north-west Scotland could see between 2in (5cm) and 4in (10cm) of snow by the end of the working week.
The Met Office said: 'There is a system skirting the south of the UK. This could bring a few snow flurries to the far south with a small chance of pushing slightly further north to bring more snow to southern counties.'
It said it is reviewing the situation and any new warnings could be issued at short notice.
The weekend will be milder, but westerly weather will bring wind and rain - and the potential for more weather warnings as the snow melts.
The Government has confirmed thousands of households in England and Wales are eligible for cold weather payments.
They are made to vulnerable people, including pensioners, to help them pay for heating when the temperature dips below freezing.
The payments go to those living in an area where the average temperature is recorded as, or forecast to be, 0C or below over seven consecutive days.
Payments will be made to homes across Cumbria, Oxfordshire, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Norfolk, Staffordshire and Powys in Wales.
The UK Health Security Agency has issued a cold-health alert, which warns of possible impacts for the health and social care sector.
More than 100 schools were closed in Scotland yesterday, while drivers faced difficult conditions thanks to the wintry weather across North West England, including in Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
National Rail warned the wintry weather could affect train journeys all week, with services between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness running to an altered schedule today.
ScotRail said an otherwise normal service is expected to run today, bar a handful of changes on the Highland Mainline.

New map shows 75 percent of the U.S. at risk of damaging earthquakes
By Eric Ralls
Earth.com staff writer
The recent update to the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) reveals a concerning scenario: nearly three-quarters of the United States is at risk of experiencing damaging earthquake shaking.
This alarming study, led by a team of over 50 scientists and engineers, employs a color-coded map to illustrate areas most susceptible to earthquake damage.
This map is the result of comprehensive seismic research, historical geological data, and cutting-edge data collection technologies.
Earthquake risk across the United States
This updated map, specifically requested by Congress, is a critical tool designed to guide engineers and other professionals in mitigating earthquake impacts on vulnerable U.S. communities.
It highlights probable earthquake locations and their potential intensity, a vital aspect for public safety planning.
The NSHM’s latest version, which is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment for all 50 states, builds on earlier versions released in 2018, 2007, and 1998 for the contiguous U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii, respectively.
What sets this iteration apart is its inclusion of nearly 500 newly identified faults capable of producing significant quakes.
This highlights the dynamic nature of earthquake research and the continuous evolution in our understanding of seismic risks.
Altered U.S. earthquake landscape
Mark Petersen, a geophysicist at the USGS and the study’s lead author, emphasized the collaborative nature of this effort.
“This was a massive, multi-year collaborative effort between federal, state and local governments and the private sector,” said Petersen. “The new seismic hazard model represents a touchstone achievement for enhancing public safety.”
One of the most striking findings of the updated model is the increased potential for damaging earthquakes along the central and northeastern U.S. Atlantic Coastal corridor.
Major cities like Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York, and Boston are now seen as more vulnerable.
Additionally, the model indicates heightened seismic risks in California and Alaska and a greater potential for shaking in Hawaii, informed by recent volcanic activities and seismic unrest.
Improvements in earthquake forecasting
Petersen highlighted the strides made in earthquake forecasting through this model. “Earthquakes are difficult to forecast but we’ve made great strides with this new model,” he noted.
“The update includes more faults, better-characterized land surfaces, and computational advancements in modeling that provide the most detailed view ever of the earthquake risks we face.”
The updated NSHM key findings are crucial and have significant implications for earthquake zones in the United States.
Key findings about U.S. earthquakes
Risk to People
Firstly, it identifies that nearly 75% of the U.S. is at risk of damaging earthquakes and intense ground shaking, placing hundreds of millions of Americans in potential danger.
This finding underscores the vast scale of seismic risks facing the nation.
Widespread Hazard
In addition, the history of seismic activity in the U.S. is widespread and notable.
Over the past 200 years, 37 states have experienced earthquakes exceeding a magnitude of 5, highlighting the extensive geographical spread of earthquake hazards across the country.
Structural Implications
Next, for architects, engineers, and policymakers, the updated model serves as an invaluable resource.
It offers essential insights for the future of building and structural design, guiding how structures across the U.S. should be planned and constructed to withstand seismic events.
This aspect of the model is particularly crucial for enhancing the resilience and safety of new and existing infrastructures.
Unified Approach
Furthermore, a significant advancement in this iteration of the NSHM is its comprehensive scope. For the first time, the model includes all 50 states in a unified seismic hazard assessment.
This achievement reflects a considerable collaborative effort, bringing together various levels of government and sectors to provide a cohesive understanding of seismic risks nationwide.
Not a Prediction
Finally, it’s important to note that the model, while detailed and informative, does not predict earthquakes. Instead, it offers a scientific foundation for assessing the likelihood and potential intensity of future seismic events.
This distinction is vital in understanding the model’s role as a tool for preparedness and risk assessment rather than as a predictive mechanism for specific earthquake occurrences.
In summary, the updated NSHM underscores the pressing need for preparedness and resilience in the face of seismic threats across the United States.
It serves as a vital tool for professionals and policymakers, guiding them in protecting communities and infrastructure from the unpredictable but inevitable occurrence of earthquakes.
The full study was published in the journal Earthquake Spectra.

American Apocalypse? 71% Don’t Trust U.S. Government To Prevent Doomsday
October 5, 202373 comments
by Chris Melore
CHICAGO — U.S. politics continue to be a chaotic subject, and a new poll finds the majority of Americans are rapidly losing faith in their country’s leaders. From the ousting of the Speaker of the House to the mounting controversies engulfing the current president and his predecessor, over seven in 10 people say there’s no one they trust to save them from an end-of-the-world event. Such problems only push the so-called “Doomsday Clock” to tick closer to end times.
Established in 1947 by a group of atomic scientists, including the revered Albert Einstein, the Doomsday Clock serves as a barometer for humanity’s proximity to global annihilation. It is a metaphorical measure of humanity’s vulnerability to cataclysmic events, such as nuclear war, climate change, pandemics, or asteroid impacts. The closer the clock’s hands are to midnight, the closer we presumably are to a doomsday scenario.
According to a survey of 6,200 Americans conducted by BonusFinder.com, 71.2 percent of Americans say they have no faith in the U.S. government to save them or prevent a doomsday event. Even more unnerving, many respondents believe Doomsday could come within the next year.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 102630)
Over half the poll (55.8%) think Doomsday will come in the form of a climate change-related catastrophe, while a third believe another virus will sweep the globe and a quarter of respondents fear the start of World War III. Another seven percent are betting on an alien invasion, while the same number believe 2024 will finally be the year zombies walk the Earth.

U.S. is Painting Itself Into a Corner in the Red Sea
13 January 2024 by Larry Johnson 191 Comments
Joe Biden, amidst his mental confusion, must think he is John Mccain reincarnated. I bet he’s humming, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb; Bomb Bomb Iran.” You know how it is, Iranians, Yemenis, they all look alike. While the bombs are causing some damage in Yemen, Yemen has seen it before and is unfazed. In fact, the bombing appears to be strengthening the resolve of Yemen to continue its blockade of the Red Sea.
The United States does not have enough bombs to force Yemen to surrender. Why? Yemen’s rocket and missile force is mobile. They can move dozens of missiles at the same time in different directions, which then forces the United States, notwithstanding robust ISR, to find the needles in the haystack that is Yemen. The U.S. can kill and destroy some, but not all.
But that is not the big problem. The U.S. Navy does not have the ability to sustain its presence off the coast of Yemen. My friend, Stephen Bryen, has written his usual excellent article detailing the problem:
The first answer relates to the number of missiles aboard a ship. US ships are relying on SM-2 missiles, part of the AEGIS system. One expert estimates the number available as follows:
“The [AEGIS] destroyers have a complement of 96 VLS cells, while the [Ticonderoga class] cruisers have 122. …However, they need to fit a mixture of weaponry in those cells so they can’t all be used for air defense. This includes:
ESSM (quad packed into a single cell)
SM-2 (and its newer counterpart the SM-6)
Tomahawk cruise missiles
ASROC anti-submarine missile
SM-3 anti-ballistic missile
The exact ratio of these weapons is largely dependent on the mission and the possible threats faced. However, at least 200 ESSM and another 100 or so SM-2 or SM-6 seems like a fair guess. Maybe a bit more.”
In short, each of the AEGIS has around 100 missiles.
The British Sea Viper air defense system is the main defense system HMS Diamond relied on to fire at Houthi drones and missiles. “Type 45 Destroyers, also known as Daring-class destroyers, are specifically designed around the Sea Viper (PAAMS) air-defence system. Each Type 45 destroyer is equipped with a 48-cell A50 Sylver Vertical Launching System. This system is designed to accommodate a mix of up to 48 Aster 15 and Aster 30 missiles.”
Neither the US nor the British ships can be reprovisioned at sea, so they have a limited ability to “stay in the fight” if it continues for any length of time.
There you have it. Yemen can launch a hundred drones and missiles at U.S. ships and the destroyer escorts will exhaust their supply of air defense missiles. In the 1970s the U.S. Navy had ship tenders that could pull alongside a destroyer and resupply it. Not today. The Vertical Launch Systems have to be reloaded in a port. That means the destroyers will have to sail to Dubai, which means the U.S. aircraft carrier they are accompanying will have to follow because it relies on them for protection from ballistic and cruise missiles.
Here’s the bottomline, if you are going to get into a gun fight you better have enough ammunition on hand to finish it. Only we’re not talking about having a million rounds of 9 mm pistol ammunition. The missiles the Aegis system uses are damn expensive. Here’s Stephen’s take:
One needs to add that using missile defense is very expensive. Each SM-2 missile costs $2.1 million each. Sea viper, which can either be an Aster 15 or Aster 30 costs either £1m to £2m a time ($1.25 million to $2.5 million). Nor does this take into account the challenge of replacing these missiles, once expended. It not only will be more expensive, but could take years of production time.
Yemen is showing how a so-called third rate military can effectively bankrupt the Naval power of a “Superpower.” The neo-cons urging Biden to attack Iran are math challenged. Iran has more missiles, drones and rockets than Yemen. If little Yemen is doing this to the U.S., just imagine the havoc Iran could cause.
Washington is like the degenerate gambler who is playing a losing game of blackjack. Instead of accepting his losses, Joe Biden seems intent on doubling down and destroying the reputation of the U.S. Navy as the most powerful force in the World. I suspect the Russians and Chinese are enjoying some heaping buckets of buttered popcorn as they watch this spectacle of national suicide.

Yemen's Houthis hit US-owned dry bulk ship, no injuries reported
US Central Command confirms vessel Gibraltar Eagle targeted by Iran-backed terror group following US-UK strikes in Yemen
Reuters|13:01
Houthi forces in Yemen struck the U.S.-owned and operated dry bulk ship Gibraltar Eagle with an anti-ship ballistic missile, U.S. Central Command said on Monday, although there were no reports of injuries or significant damage.
The vessel's U.S.-based owner Eagle Bulk Shipping did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Iran-backed Houthis who control most of Yemen's Red Sea coast have been attacking commercial ships in the area they say are linked to Israel or bound for Israeli ports, in action they are aimed at supporting the Palestinians in the war and Hamas in Gaza.
U.S. and British forces responded last week by carrying out dozens of air and sea strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
Earlier in the day British Maritime Security firm Ambrey said that a Marshall Islands-flagged, U.S.-owned bulk carrier was reportedly struck by a missile while transiting near Yemen's port of Aden.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said that a vessel was hit from above by a missile 95 nautical miles southeast of Aden, without identifying the vessel.
Ambrey said three missiles were reportedly launched by the Houthis, with two not reaching the sea and the third striking the bulk carrier.
Ambrey added that the impact reportedly caused a fire in a hold, but that the bulker remained seaworthy with no injuries on board.
The vessel was assessed not to be Israel-affiliated, according to Ambrey, which also assessed the attack to have targeted U.S. interests in response to the recent strikes on Houthi military positions.
Later on Monday, an explosion was heard near Yemen's Hodeidah airport, residents reported. Hodeidah is some distance from Aden, however, and it was not immediately clear what had caused the blast.
The Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa and much of the west and north of Yemen, have vowed to continue attacks in the Red Sea since the U.S. and British strikes.
The group's leader, Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, said on Thursday in a televised speech that any U.S. attack on Yemen would not go without a response.
The U.S. military said on Sunday a U.S. fighter jet shot down an anti-ship cruise missile that the Houthis fired towards the USS Laboon in the southern Red Sea.

2 Israeli civilians and 3 Lebanese attackers killed in escalating fighting on Israel’s northern border
By Eliyahu Freedman January 14, 2024 10:04 pm
(JTA) — A man and his elderly mother were killed on Sunday when an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah struck their home, as tensions on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon continue to rise.
Hours earlier, Israeli forces killed three Lebanese militants who attempted to infiltrate Israel. Five Israeli soldiers were lightly injured during the fighting with the militants, who were affiliated with a terror group separate from Hezbollah, and the military temporarily closed roads and village entrances in the area in response.
The clashes have come as fears have grown of war between Israel and Hezbollah. The terror group began firing rockets at Israel following Hamas’ Oct. 7 invasion across the country’s southern border, and exchanges of fire have continued, creating the potential for a broader war in Israel’s north even as it has focused its firepower on its invasion of Gaza.
Several more anti-tank missiles struck various border communities in northern Israel on Sunday, but resulted in no injuries. Israel bombed two Hezbollah targets in response.
The deaths of Mira Ayalon, 76, and her son Barak, 45, in Sunday’s Hezbollah strike bring the total number of Israelis killed in the northern cross-border clashes to 15, nine of them soldiers, since October 7. Barak Ayalon was a member of his town’s civilian defense patrol. Mira Ayalon, in an interview with Israeli Channel 12, said she was “living in tension” and noted that her house was visible from Lebanon.
Some 200 people have been killed in Lebanon, most of them fighters from Hezbollah. Tens of thousands of people have evacuated their homes due to the violence.
In addition to the tensions between Israel and Lebanon, the United States recently bombed the Houthis, a Yemeni terror group that has shot missiles at commercial ships and at Israel in the wake of Oct. 7. American diplomats have worked to prevent the Israel-Hezbollah hostiles from ramping up.
Before returning to the United States from a recent trip to the Middle East, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told members of the press, “We want to make sure that through diplomacy we can create enough security and a strong sense of security. No one wants to see escalation there — Israel doesn’t, Lebanon doesn’t, and I actually don’t think Hezbollah does.”
Leaders of both Israel and Hezbollah appear to be anticipating the possibility of a wider war. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hezbollah was “making a mistake with us” by firing missiles at Israel.
“We will do everything to return security to the residents of the north,” he said to a group of soldiers, according to video posted to social media. “We also prefer, of course, that this will not be a broader campaign, but that’s their decision.”
In a speech on Sunday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said his group “is causing losses to Israel.”
“The one who needs to fear from a war is Israel and the Israelis, and not Lebanon,” he said. “We have been preparing already 99 days for war and are not afraid of it. We will fight without any conditions.”
A recent poll by the Israel Democracy Institute found that Israelis are split regarding whether Israel should open a second front with Lebanon, with 51% in support and 34% against.

FLASH: U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, Hit By Ballistic Missiles - Serious Damage - Iran Admits They Did it
World Hal Turner 15 January 2024 Hits: 4667
The United States Consulate in Erbil, Iraq has been hit by Ballistic Missiles. There is "significant damage." Iran has announced "In response to the terrorist attacks that targeted Iranian citizens in Kerman, leadership sites and gatherings of terrorist organizations in Syria were targeted with a number of Iranian ballistic missiles.
In short, Iran has fired ballistic missiles from their own territory, into another country, to strike a US Consulate. That was an "act of war."
I'm not a military scholar, and do not have keen knowledge of what constitutes a Casus Belli (cause for war) but it sure looks to me as though Iran just served themselves up on a platter for the US to declare war upon them.
Video of the missile hits is on its way to me and will be uploaded shortly.

(IRGC) has announced in a second statement that it has destroyed the gathering places of leaders and key elements linked to the recent terrorist crimes in Kerman and Rasak, Syria, with ballistic missiles as part of the missile operation conducted an hour ago.
According to Sepah News, following the missile operation on a "spy headquarters and gathering place of anti-Iran terrorist groups in parts of the region," the IRGC issued statement number 2, which reads as follows:
-----------------------
"In the name of Allah,
'Those who fight have been wronged, and indeed Allah is capable of granting them victory.'
To the dear and honorable Islamic people of Iran,
In response to the recent crimes committed by terrorist groups, and the unjust martyrdom of members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a group of our dear citizens in Kerman and Rasak;
The gathering places of the leaders and key elements associated with the recent terrorist operations;
Specifically, ISIS organization in the occupied territories in Syria was identified and destroyed by launching a number of ballistic missiles.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps assures the great Iranian nation that it will find and punish the malignant terrorist groups wherever they are for their disgraceful actions.
Other destroyed targets will be announced later."
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in its third announcement, has declared the launch of Baran missiles and the destruction of "a Mossad (Zionist regime's intelligence agency) spy headquarters in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq."
This is likely to have __also__ been the US Consulate in Erbil.
So in one fell swoop, Iran has hit both the US and Israel, with Ballistic missiles, inside Iraq.
Trouble is, a "Consulate" is the territory of the country it represents. So if Iran hit the US Consulate, then they have fired missiles against "U.S. sovereign territory" thus opening themselves up to not only a US war, but "Collective self defense" by NATO, since the US can now say "we have been attacked."
Anyone looking for the official start of World War 3, has likely just found it; especially since Iran and Russia have mutual defense treaties.
DENIAL !
The United States is saying that the Iran missile strike was "near" the US Consulate but "no American facilities were hit and no Americans were injured or killed."
Now, this flies in the face of initial reports telling me there was "severe damage" to the US Consulate.
I'm working to verify the claims and facts.
It has already been suggested to me that "neither the US nor Israel would be inclined to admit a successful Iran missile attack on them in Iraq." So this DENIAL could be the start of a cover up.
Or, perhaps the initial reports were simply wrong.
Fog of war. Lots of chaos. Lots of inaccurate info.
Sorting through it as best I can.

What's Happening In California Is A Dire Warning For The Rest Of America: The Government Never Gets Tired Of Warring Against Americans And Telling Us It’s For Our Own Good
- America’s tyrants use the same two-pronged approach that all totalitarian regimes do
By J.B. Shurk and All News Pipeline January 15, 2024
California is now covering the costs of genital-mutilating surgeries for illegal aliens. Leftism’s slippery slope invariably leads to depraved absurdity. Consider how Governor (receding) Hairdo and the Pyrite State’s other communist saboteurs have greased the shifting ground under Californians’ feet:
(1) There is no illegal immigration crisis.
(2) There may be a crisis, but California taxpayers won’t be paying for it.
(3) Taxpayers may have to foot the bill for the illegal immigration crisis, but California will do nothing to incentivize illegal immigration.
(4) After further review, these aliens aren’t “illegal,” but rather “undocumented.”
(5) Health care is a human right.
(6) California must provide “undocumented” aliens healthcare.
(7) Mutilating the genitals to make them look like the opposite sex is health care.
(8) California taxpayers must pay for “undocumented” aliens’ genital surgery.
(9) Californians who object to paying for undocumented aliens’ genital surgery may be guilty of “hate” crimes and will be prosecuted.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
Why punish the people who illegally enter the United States when you can punish the people who do not want to subsidize immigration crimes while canceling their votes with the votes of those here illegally? Why should “health care” stop with free genital mutilation for the whole planet? Why not label spacious split-level homes with at least one electric vehicle in each garage “health care” as well? Why shouldn’t California taxpayers be on the hook for each new illegal alien’s “green energy” lifestyle? The absurdity will never end.
(ANP Emergency!: PLEASE donate to ANP! Due to the globalists war upon truth and the independent media, our monthly revenue has been cut by more than 80% so we need your help more now than ever before. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)
As Sundance frequently reminds readers over at The Conservative Treehouse, “We are in an abusive relationship with our government.” And in California, where the Marxist globalists rule with absolute power, the government never gets tired of slapping American citizens around and telling them it’s for their own good.
California’s decision to become a Mecca for foreign men who want to chop off their willies and hang out in women’s restrooms is just the latest example of government insanity promoted as “progress.” While foreign nationals are invading the United States in unprecedented numbers, Department of Homeland (in)Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas continues to claim that (1) there is no crisis of any kind, and (2) if there is a crisis, Congress should just allocate more money for DHS to quickly bus the invaders into small towns throughout the country.
Hear that, American citizens? The problem isn’t that tens of millions of foreigners are illegally entering the country; the problem is that people are noticing the problem — which would quickly disappear if DHS had the funds to hide the invaders more effectively and seed them into the counties where illegal votes from illegal aliens will do Democrats the most good. Canceling American votes one invader at a time — yet none dare call it election-rigging on a massive scale!
Mayorkas’s admission that his plan to tackle illegal immigration consists of (1) making it worse but (2) hiding it more effectively is another infuriating example of why governments (of any kind!) can never, ever be trusted. The best that any civilized society can do is shackle government power so severely that its agents feel as if they are rotting away in a dark dungeon without any prospect of public glory. That’s why our Founders worked so hard to write a Constitution that limits the powers of all the miscreants who inevitably end up running things. After all, at its core, government is nothing more than a collection of unethical people given legal immunity for performing otherwise criminal acts.
In exchange for a little law and order, prosperity, and peace, the people look the other way while government bureaucrats steal their property (taxes), intimidate them with threats of force (FBI-Gestapo), and occasionally sacrifice their children for the greater good (war). As soon as government is celebrated as something wonderful (instead of something that should always be dreaded and despised), those same bureaucrats break free from their dungeons, anoint themselves as unaccountable kings, and devise the most elaborate schemes to pillage, plunder, and endanger the citizenry without remorse. No tax is too high! No government mandate or regulatory fiat is too grotesque! No life is too precious for the spoils of endless, needless war! In Mayorkas’s world, bureaucrats bark orders, citizens comply, the government tells you what you may own, and armed IRS agents confiscate the rest!
How has the freest nation on Earth been reduced to a population of citizen-slaves begging for government scraps? America’s tyrants use the same two-pronged approach that all totalitarian regimes do: the U.S. government (1) lies about everything, while (2) intentionally inflicting emotional harm on its citizens. Everything that unscrupulous government agents such as Mayorkas shove down Americans’ throats is part of a psychological war meant to enfeeble, confuse, dispirit, and infantilize the adult population while indoctrinating younger generations to accept absurdities, surrender to “woke” ideology, and refrain from ever questioning authoritarian “elites.”
That’s why popular actors, musicians, and athletes must all believe the same thing — lest they be summarily “canceled.” It is absolutely essential that young minds see intellectual conformity as something to celebrate and dissent as something to abhor. It is why presidential puppet Joe Biden likes to say, “We’re all in this together,” while simultaneously stigmatizing half the electorate as “domestic terrorists” who “threaten democracy.” Critical thinking, artistic individualism, philosophical disagreement, and public debate are not tolerated in totalitarian regimes.
In an essay for the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker describes his experience at a train station where prominent warning signs still command travelers to obey COVID’s strict social distancing requirements. For the most part, people just ignored the government’s orders and went about their lives. After pondering the “enormous disjunction ... between what we are told to do and what we actually do,” Tucker concludes that the “edicts to which no one complies serve a certain purpose. They are a visual reminder of who is in charge, what those people believe, and the presence of a Sword of Damocles hanging above the whole population: at any point, anyone can be snatched away from normal life, made a criminal, and be forced to pay a price.” In a psychological war meant to obtain total control over citizen behavior, “the nuttier the edicts, the more effective the message.”
Writer Kit Knightly aptly describes these nutty edicts as part of the government’s broader propaganda campaign to “cultivate” a “perfidious unreality,” where our “authoritarian ruling elite” promulgate “insane narratives” that “serve as both loyalty test and humiliation ritual.” When government agents say something that is “impossible to believe” and people accept it as true nonetheless, then citizens demonstrate “greater loyalty” to the government’s absurd fabrications than to reality. “Humiliation is the ultimate demonstration of control” because under a system “where nothing is true, anything could be.” Knightly concludes that the government engages in psychopathic behavior meant to do one thing: break every citizen’s spirit and mind.
What this means is that fighting for human liberty against the government’s encroaching totalitarianism requires more than civil disobedience; it requires an acceptance that everything our government says is a lie and everything our government does is destructive. The U.S. government — along with most Western governments that have been captured by central banks, spy agencies, and an international cabal of Marxist “elites” — is dedicated to destroying any notion of “objective truth.” That is why we are told that biological sex is a social construct, that private property causes “climate change,” and that popular political movements are “undemocratic.” To free our bodies, we must free our minds. And to free our countries, we must work to free the minds of as many of our fellow citizens as we can.
When the battlefield is the human brain, revolutionary ideas are more important than bullets.

QATAR HALTS LNG SHIPMENTS THROUGH RED SEA - EUROPE LOSING NATURAL GAS SUPPLY!
World Hal Turner 15 January 2024 Hits: 9873
It's the Middle of Winter and Europe has just lost at least 13% of its Natural Gas Supply, because Qatar will no longer send LNG ships through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Houthis in the country of Yemen have been attacking ships using the Red Sea and Qatar does not want its ships hit. Now Europe will struggle for heat in winter.

US fighter jet shoots down an anti-ship cruise missile targeting a destroyer in the Red Sea - as Houthi rebels pose with ROCKET LAUNCHERS and machine guns as they hit back at America for bombing Yemen targets
A US fighter jet has shot down anti-ship cruise missile fired towards a destroyer
It is Houthis first response to series of drone strikes fired by US in recent days
Houthis were seen posing with rocket launchers and machine guns Sunday
By Stephen M. Lepore For Dailymail.Com
Published: 00:53 EST, 15 January 2024 | Updated: 06:48 EST, 15 January 2024
A US fighter jet blasted a Houthi cruise missile out of the sky over the Red Sea before it was able to hit its target, the USS Laboon, on Sunday in the latest escalation of violence in the region following a series of drone strikes from Western forces.
The United States military and its allies began airstrikes on Friday on the rebels following weeks of assaults on shipping in the Red Sea.
Sunday's missile launch was the first response from the terror group since the US-led coalition began its recent offensive. On Saturday, US drones hit a Houthi radar facility.
The Houthis had targeted the corridor linking Asian and Mideast energy shipments to the Suez Canal over the Israel-Hamas war.
The Shiite rebel group allied with Iran, which seized Yemen's capital in 2014, are yet to acknowledge the missile attack.
Rebels were seen posing with machine guns and rocket launchers in photos released Sunday. Fighters were also photographed earlier in the weekend conducting drills and recording themselves in terrain made to resemble Jewish settlements.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the US would retaliate for the latest attack, though Joe Biden said he 'will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary.'
The Houthi fire on Sunday went in the direction of the USS Laboon, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the southern reaches of the Red Sea, Central Command said.
The missile came from near Hodeida, a Red Sea port city long held by the Houthis. 'An anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Iranian-backed Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward USS Laboon,' Central Command said.
'There were no injuries or damage reported.' The first day of US-led strikes on Friday hit 28 locations and struck more than 60 targets with cruise missiles and bombs.
Sites hit included weapon depots, radars and command centers, including in remote mountain areas.
The Houthis have yet to acknowledge how severe the infrastructure damage was from the strikes, which they said killed five of their troops and wounded six others.
But two officials told the New York Times on Sunday they still have about 75 percent of their ability to fire missiles and drones at ships transiting the Red Sea.
This is despite the US and its allies claiming to have damaged or destroyed about 90 percent of the targets struck.
US forces followed up with a strike Saturday on a Houthi radar site. Shipping through the Red Sea has slowed over the attacks.
The Navy on Friday warned American-flagged vessels to steer clear of areas around Yemen in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden for 72 hours after the initial airstrikes.
For their part, the Houthis alleged without providing evidence that the U.S. struck a site near Hodeida on Sunday around the same time of the cruise missile fire.
The Americans and the United Kingdom did not acknowledge conducting any strike - suggesting the blast may have been from a misfiring Houthi missile.
Since November, the rebels have repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea, saying they were avenging Israel´s offensive in Gaza against Hamas.
But they have frequently targeted vessels with tenuous or no clear links to Israel, imperiling shipping in a key route for global trade.
Though the Biden administration and its allies have tried to calm tensions in the Middle East for weeks and prevent any wider conflict, the strikes threatened to ignite one.
Saudi Arabia, which supports the Yemeni government-in-exile that the Houthis are fighting, sought to distance itself from the attacks on Houthi sites as it tries to maintain a delicate détente with Iran and a cease-fire it has in Yemen.
The Saudi-led, U.S.-backed war in Yemen that began in 2015 has killed more than 150,000 people, including fighters and civilians, and created one of the world´s worst humanitarian disasters, killing tens of thousands more.
The American military did not specifically say the fire targeted the Laboon, following a pattern by the U.S. since the Houthi attacks began.
However, U.S. sailors have received combat ribbons for their actions in the Red Sea- something handed out only to those who face active hostilities with an enemy force.
Houthi troops have been pictured conducting drills in terrain resembling Jewish houses following a number of US and coalition airstrikes over the last two days.
Photos shared by the Houthi Media Centre on Saturday showed soldiers armed with Kalashnikov-style assault rifles operating in mock residential areas featuring the Star of David in Yemen.
Aerial footage dated January 11 also showed drone operators practicing while stood on American flags.
And the exercises saw missiles and tanks tested near the northern Yemen-Saudi Arabia border at Al-Baqaa area.
The photos were released after the Houthi leadership promised revenge for strikes conducted by allies in response to rebel attacks on trade vessels in recent weeks.
A joint exercise between Britain, the US and allies in the early hours of Friday morning was followed by subsequent attacks late Friday and this afternoon.
The Houthi militia threatened a 'strong and effective response' after the United States carried out its strike in Yemen on Saturday, further stoking tensions.
A fresh airstrike hit the Yemeni Red Sea port city of Hodeida Saturday following two nights of attacks on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
A military source allied with the rebels told AFP 'the site from which a Houthi rocket was launched on the outskirts of Hodeida was hit', adding that it was not clear whether the strike came from the sea or the air.
It comes after British and American forces launched strikes on Houthi military sites on Thursday night into Friday morning after the militants carried out several attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea.
After bombarding the rebel-held areas of Yemen early on Friday, the US also launched a new round of strikes last night.
The strikes have added to concerns about the escalation of the conflict that has spread through the region since the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and Israel went to war, with Iran's allies also entering the fray from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
The Houthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Gaza, have carried out a growing number of missile and drone attacks on what they deem Israeli-linked shipping in the key Red Sea international trade route.
'We have emphasized to everyone that [the Houthi] operations are to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and that we cannot stand idly by in the face of the aggression and siege,' Houthi chief negotiator and spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam told Al Jazeera in December.
It comes as there is no sign the war between Hamas and Israel will slow down - with the terrorists unwilling to make a deal to let hostages go free.
Hamas released a chilling video of Israeli hostages including 26-year-old Noa Argamani on Sunday to mark the 100th day since the attack.
January 14 marks 100 days since Hamas' shock invasion into southern Israel, storming across the border in cars, vans and by motorized paraglider at daybreak.
As many as 240 hostages were taken on October 7 to be used as leverage in prisoner swaps with Israel, which holds many Palestinians - civilians and suspected terrorists - in prisons.
A week-long ceasefire was organized in November after weeks of retaliatory bombing by Israel on communities in Gaza as the army paved the way for a wider ground invasion.
Critics, including international charities and the UN, warned that the bombing was devastating civilian communities in one of the world's most densely-packed enclaves.
A siege of Gaza City, cutting water, aid, power, medical supplies and fuel to the beleaguered Strip risked a serious humanitarian crisis, the UN warned in October.
And 24-hour evacuation orders were met with outcry from humanitarian aid groups, warning such an unprecedented migration of people was 'impossible'.
Mounting pressure eventually saw Israel agree to a temporary ceasefire to last from November 24 until November 30 - later extended until November 31.
A total of 110 hostages were released during that timeframe, mostly as part of a Qatar-mediated deal between Hamas and Israel, some released as part of a separate deal with Thailand and two as a gesture to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The return of hostages from Gaza has revealed the dire conditions hostages were exposed to within Gaza.
Some gave chilling accounts of rape, physical beatings and psychological torture, drawing horrified reactions from family members and Israeli citizens who put more pressure on the government to safely ensure the return of the remaining captives.
The sustained fighting has also seen IDF soldiers mistakenly kill surrendering hostages carrying white flags while operating in Gaza.
And returning hostages warned some were being held in tunnels under the Strip - as Israel revealed plans to pump them with water to flush out Hamas.
Families worry the far-right government's policies enacted during wartime, such as new provisions for the death penalty, could adversely affected their loved ones held in Gaza.
And the White House said on Sunday it was the 'right time' for Israel to scale back the war in Gaza.
'There is a realization there is no military way to get them out so that increases the pressure on the [Israeli] government to respond and seek a deal,' Dr Andreas Krieg, Assistant Professor of Defence Studies at King's College London, told MailOnline.
'There is a realization that this kind of operational tempo is not sustainable.
'It's not sustainable in terms of the casualties that are being generated. The amount of casualties among Palestinian civilians is completely unprecedented, I think, in modern warfare because ultimately [the IDF] can't leave. They're just there.'
More than 23,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its military campaign in October, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Around 40 per cent of the Gazan population are children.
Despite the challenges facing Israel operating within the Palestinian enclave, the IDF has reaffirmed its commitment to safely returning the hostages through 'increased military pressure'.
The attacks by the Houthi rebels, while in solidarity with Gaza, have caused problems for shipping routes.
Around 12 percent of global trade normally passes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea entrance between southwest Yemen and Djibouti.
But since mid-November the rebel attacks have affected trade flows when supply strains are already putting upward pressure on inflation globally.
The Houthi outfit emerged in the 1990s but gained international attention in 2014 during a rebellion against Yemen's government, sparking the ongoing civil war.
Yemen's government subsequently stepped down, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Houthi forces continue to clash with a Saudi-led coalition and allies in the United States and a number of European powers.
The Houthis continue to receive millions in aid from Iran each year, which also provides aid and training to Hamas in Gaza and as much as $700million a year to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Houthis have been accused of several violations of international law - beyond targeting non-combatant merchant vessels in the Red Sea - including using child soldiers, expected to make up a third of all fighters in Yemen.
Human Rights Watch published a report in 2018 detailing how Houthi soldiers would take hostages, arbitrarily detain people and use torture methods to extort money from relatives.
The UN also reported in 2018 the Houthis were diverting food aid from distribution areas intended for civilians affected by the humanitarian crisis.
And in 2019, Saudi-owned Asharq Al-Awsat alleged that modern slavery had been restored by the Houthis in Yemen, based on 'local reports'.

Earthquake swarm rattles Oklahoma City metro
Andrew Wulfeck
Updated Sat, January 13, 2024, 3:06 PM EST·2 min read
OKLAHOMA CITY – A series of earthquakes rattled the Oklahoma City metro on Friday evening, with the largest being a magnitude-4.4.
According to data from the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake swarm started just after 9:30 p.m. local time and, within the first two hours of the event, had already produced nearly a dozen quakes.
The epicenters of the earthquakes were near Edmond, along Interstate 35, on the north side of the metro.
Oklahomans took to social media after the event and described hearing a loud boom before the rattling associated with the minor quake.
There were no initial reports of damage associated with the shaking, which was expected considering the relatively low magnitude.
Quakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or greater usually result in some damage, the USGS says.
The 4.4-magnitude earthquake occurred only about 4 miles underground, and shaking was reportedly felt as far away as Kansas.
UNUSUALLY STRONG EARTHQUAKE RATTLES LONE STAR STATE
While the magnitude-4.2 quake was not the strongest in the state’s history, it occurred not far from where a 5.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the state in 2016.
The 2016 quake caused moderate damage in north-central Oklahoma, and studies tied the event to wastewater injection from oil and gas production.
As of Friday evening, the USGS said it was still too early to determine whether human activities played a role in the most recent quake.
The agency has previously noted that many quakes throughout the Southern Plains have been tied to human activities.
The USGS said fracking - the process of injecting water, sand or chemicals into the ground in order to break up the bedrock to reach oil and gas reserves – can trigger quakes and impact groundwater.

Researchers in China have discovered a strain of coronavirus that caused 100% mortality due to a “late-stage brain infection.” It also turns your eyes white before you succumb to fever and flu like a zombie. Great! Is this the Disease X that the Davos crowd is going to discuss this week at the World Economic Forum? This IS gain of function research and it is extremely dangerous. Time to stop it yet?

Pfizer Invests Billions in Treatments for Coming ‘Heart Failure Pandemic’
Frank BergmanJanuary 13, 2024 - 12:32 pm
Pfizer is investing billions of dollars in treatments to prepare for a looming “heart failure pandemic.”
The Covid mRNA vaccine maker is making a big investment in treatment for heart failure as cases of myocarditis and sudden cardiac deaths skyrocket.
The pharmaceutical giant recently acquired several companies.
This includes a major $6.7 billion cash acquisition of Arena Pharmaceuticals.
Arena Pharmaceuticals is a firm specializing in developing treatments, particularly for heart inflammation conditions like myocarditis and pericarditis.
Pfizer is now predicted to make tens of billions of dollars in profits from the spike in heart failure.
The company is expecting to capitalize on the huge spike in heart failure as sales of its Covid vaccines have now dried up.
The news comes as scientists are now warning that the latest Covid variant could trigger a “heart failure pandemic.”
Research into the new strain known as JN.1, could cause a “global healthcare risk” related to COVID-19.
Scientists claim this strain of the virus could start a “heart failure pandemic.”
Health experts have warned that there is an increase in the chances of potential heart issues for those who catch the disease.
Due to the influx of a new strain JN.1, there has been a spike in Covid cases in several countries.
Scientists are claiming that new strains are responsible for the spike in deadly heart failure that started in 2021.
Countries including the US, UK, China, and India have all suffered soaring heart failure cases in recent weeks.
Japan’s top research institute Riken has now issued a warning in the new report.
The report states that the ACE2 receptors, which the coronavirus clings to within human cells, are “very common” in the heart.
This means many people who catch the virus may suffer from “reduced cardiac function,” the scientists claim.
Health officials are warning that combined with a rising number of flu cases, this winter may see a significant increase in illness cases.
The report states: “Even though conclusive clinical evidence that persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with declined cardiac function has not been reported so far, the proof-of-concept study of the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 persistent infection of the heart and the potential risk of opportunistic progression of heart failure should be validated by a three-dimensional human cardiac tissue model which would serve as the alarm bell for a global healthcare risk.”
The report fails to note, however, that the spike in heart failure is almost exclusively among the Covid mRNA vaccinated.

Drones, street gangs: How Hamas planned to attack Israeli civilians worldwide
Danish street gang LTF is charged with working for Hamas in Europe, including but not limited to Denmark, Germany, and Sweden, with some members now believed to be operating out of Lebanon.
By YUVAL BARNEA JANUARY 13, 2024 19:00 Updated: JANUARY 13, 2024 22:40
Israeli intelligence organizations have been working in collaboration with their European counterparts to counter Hamas in Europe, they announced via the Prime Minister's Office on Saturday evening.
Hamas has been working with criminal elements to procure drones for planned attacks across Europe and the Middle East, as ordered by the senior Hamas leadership.
In December, the security services and police in Denmark and Germany announced the arrest of an extensive network of Hamas operatives in Europe, those arrested have since had legal proceedings opened against them.
Further arrests came earlier this week in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.
More information regarding the arrests in Europe is restricted due to the ongoing legal cases in the respective countries.
Terrorists and European street gangs
The assassination of Saleh Arouri earlier this month is linked to the arrests, with the claim being that he was involved in ordering operations across Europe and the Middle East. The two other men killed in the strike that killed Arouri were Samir Fandi and Azzam Akre, both fellow senior Hamas commanders.
Akre had commanded Khalil al-Kharaz the former deputy commander of Hamas forces in Lebanon until his assassination in November.
Kharaz was in charge of the Hamas cells operating in Europe, the very same ones arrested by European security services, which had been involved in the purchase of drones for planned attacks.
Kharaz is claimed to have been involved in building relations with a Danish street gang called "LTF - Loyal To Familia," who were banned by Denmark in 2021.
LTF is charged with working on behalf of Hamas in Europe, including but not limited to Denmark, Germany, and Sweden, with some members now believed to be operating out of Lebanon.
The use of local criminal gangs as a facade for terror activity is a common element of Iranian intelligence and terror operations, often used to maintain a space for denial of involvement.
The integration of inter-organizational resources in Israel and across the world led to a comprehensive and in-depth picture of Hamas's terrorist activity development, including details about Hamas's actions and targets of attacks.
The intelligence also revealed who was involved in implementing terror activity, from the Hamas commanders in Lebanon to the last member in their operational infrastructure.
One piece of information discovered was about an intention to attack the Israeli embassy in Sweden, this required the purchase of drones and the use of criminal organizations close to Hamas in Europe.
"Hamas draws inspiration from the terrorist activities of the Iranian regime, and like it, aims to hit Israeli, Jewish, and Western targets at any cost," the PMO said in a press release.
"The Mossad, the Shin Bet, and the IDF, in partnership with international security and enforcement bodies, will continue to work to thwart the terrorist intentions of Hamas and all terrorist organizations, to come to terms with them anywhere in the world for the security of the State of Israel and the Jewish people."

CIA task force gathers intel on Hamas leaders, hostages, report
Move ordered by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan comes after Hamas Oct. 7 prioritizing intelligence on physical and mental conditions of the hostages, after Israel's intelligence gathering on terror group ' had significant weaknesses'
Ynet|02:04
The C.I.A. has assembled a new task force to collect information on senior Hamas leaders and the location of hostages in Gaza, The New York Times reported late on Friday. The intelligence agency is providing its findings to Israel as it carries out its war against Hamas in Gaza, the paper said quoting U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
According to the report, locating the hostages, and developing information about their physical and mental conditions, was seen as a priority of the new task force The decision came soon after the October 7 Hamas massacre in Israel at the order of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and has been providing intelligence on senior Hamas leaders but not on mid-level operatives, because their removal from the scene would not change the course of the war but would pose a threat of civilian casualties, according to the paper. The New York Times notes that none of those at the leadership of Hamas in Gaza have been eliminated.
"Targeting Mr. Sinwar is not simply a matter of finding him. Mr. Sinwar is believed to be hiding in the deepest part of the tunnel network under Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to U.S. officials. But he is also believed to be surrounded by hostages and using them as human shields, vastly complicating a military operation to capture or kill him," the report said.
The paper said no U.S. intelligence was provided to Israel ahead of its targeted killing of a senior member of the Hamas leadership Saleh al-Arouri, in Beirut last week.
U.S. officials told the Times that before Oct. 7, the U.S. generally relied on Israel for intelligence on Hamas but the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 showed that Israel’s intelligence collection "had significant weaknesses." And that American officials also raised questions about what Israel shared with the United States.

U.S. carries out new strike in Yemen after Biden vows to keep pressure on
Biden earlier vowed further military action against Yemen's Houthi forces if they keep up their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea despite dozens of U.S. and British air strikes on the Iran-backed group's facilities
Lior Ben Ari, Reuters|Yesterday | 23:21
The United States carried out an additional strike against Yemen's Houthi forces on Friday which the military said was designed to degrade the Houthi's ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels.
The latest strike, which one of the U.S. officials said targeted a radar site, came a day after dozens of U.S. and British strikes on the Iran-backed group's facilities. The Lebanese Al Mayadeen network affiliated with the Hezbollah group said the target of the attack was the al-Dailami air base near the international airport in Sanaa.
President Joe Biden earlier vowed further military action against Yemen's Houthi forces if they keep up their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea despite dozens of U.S. and British air strikes on the Iran-backed group's facilities.
Intensifying concerns about a widening regional conflict, U.S. and British warplanes, ships and submarines this week launched missiles against targets across Yemen controlled by the group, which has cast its maritime campaign as support for Palestinians under siege by Israel in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Even as Houthi leaders swore retaliation, Biden warned on Friday that he could order more strikes if they do not stop their attacks on merchant and military vessels in one of the world's most economically vital waterways.
"We will make sure that we respond to the Houthis if they continue this outrageous behavior," Biden told reporters during a stop in Pennsylvania on Friday.

Are Russia and China Teaming Up to Control the Arctic?
Worried Pentagon officials are resetting U.S. Arctic policy and training in response to China and Russia’s plans
By Daniel Cusick & E&E News
A soldier holds a machine gun in the arctic circle
More aggressive posturing by Russia and China in the fast-melting Arctic is raising red flags for the Pentagon.
Russia is working to quickly flex its muscle in the region through a partnership with China to build infrastructure along the Northern Sea Route, one of two major shipping lanes across the Arctic. That agreement, announced exactly a year after Russia invaded Ukraine, was viewed by experts as a signal that Russia and China increasingly share economic interests in the icy polar region.
Then in August, a fleet of 11 Russian and Chinese warships sailed from the Sea of Japan through the Bering Strait into the Pacific Ocean, passing close to the U.S.-held Aleutian Islands off the Alaskan coast. The Russian news agency Interfax said the ships were conducting "joint anti-submarine and anti-aircraft exercises."
“Russia has a heavy emphasis on the Arctic, and over half of it is in Russian territory,” Iris Ferguson, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Arctic and global resilience, said in an interview with E&E News. “I don’t want to suggest they don’t have a place there. But we are concerned about increasing levels of investment in Arctic military capabilities."
Those realities require a reset of U.S. Defense Department policies in the Arctic region, including “changes in how we’re training and equipping [U.S. forces] and rethinking the kinds of operations we need to have there,” Ferguson said. Elements of those changes will be laid out in DOD's Arctic strategy, expected to be released this month.
The document will replace a 2019 version released three years before Russia invaded Ukraine, effectively alienating itself from seven partner Arctic nations: the United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. Experts noted China does not have territory in the Arctic but seeks access and influence in the region, something it hopes to advance through its Russian alliance.
Diplomatic relations among Arctic countries are often handled through the eight-member Arctic Council, whose chairmanship rotates every two years. Russia chaired the council from 2021 to 2023 and was shunned after its Ukraine invasion. Norway assumed the chairmanship in May.
The Biden administration is strengthening its focus on the region by creating senior positions to oversee Arctic policy, including the one held by Ferguson, who assumed the role last year. It also created a senior State Department position and named Mike Sfraga, chair of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, to be ambassador-at-large. The Senate has yet to confirm his nomination.
After the Russia-China war game off Alaska last summer, U.S. Marines joined roughly 4,000 NATO-affiliated troops for a military exercise in the Baltic Sea. The November exercise was led by Finland, its first since joining NATO.
It came as Congress authorized $200 million in infrastructure spending at military bases in Alaska, where experts say climate warming is placing additional stress on aging facilities, which often date back to the World War II era.
The largest Alaska item in the National Defense Authorization Act is a $107.5 million runway extension at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, home to 22,000 military personnel and the Alaskan Command, including the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The Army was awarded $34 million to build new housing at Fort Richardson near Fairbanks. Eielson Air Force Base, south of Fairbanks, will receive $9.5 million to build a new dormitory to replace old, substandard, energy-sucking barracks. Eielson also is home to the Air Force's 354th Fighter Wing, nicknamed the “Icemen,” with two combat-ready squadrons of F-35A Lightning II fighter jets to patrol the polar region.
Ferguson said the infrastructure projects will be designed and built to account for climate warming impacts like thawing permafrost. She added that her office provides new levels of coordination among individual branch services, each of which has its own Arctic climate action plan.
“Honestly, creating a crossroads for everyone to go to within the [Defense] department is pretty significant,” she said. “Prior to the establishment of our office, our outside partners didn’t have a place to go when they wanted to talk Arctic issues. Fortunately, the bulk of our partners are highly geopolitically aligned and have high levels of military capability.”
Erin Sikorsky, director of the Center for Climate and Security and the International Military Council on Climate and Security, said in an interview that the risk of open hostilities between the U.S. and Russia or China is unlikely. But tensions could rise over issues of territorial encroachment in a region shared by eight countries.
“The overarching risk I see is a warming Arctic is a busier Arctic,” Sikorsky said. “The backdrop to that is the increased geopolitical competition between NATO and Russia or the U.S. and China. I worry that the increased presence in the Arctic — both of military and commercial actors — increases the risk of accidents that could spill over into hotter conflicts.”
She also noted that with NATO expansion into the region, prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, joint training exercises between allied forces will occur more regularly, increasing the risk of engagement with adversaries. Finland joined NATO last year, and Sweden is awaiting approval.
“It’s important to not create a self-fulfilling prophecy of conflict,” Sikorsky said. “We should make sure the signals that we’re sending to our competitors and adversaries are not ones where we want to see the Arctic as a place to fight over.”
Matthew Hickey, associate director for the DOD-affiliated Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies, said in an interview that all changes in the Arctic — environmental and geopolitical — occur against a backdrop of “norms, rules and laws,” and that the opening of new shipping routes is one way climate change will test those norms.
He agreed that a more crowded Arctic would foster more competition for resources and routes, which in turn could stoke tensions between rival countries. A robust defense strategy that accounts for climate change alongside geopolitics will aid the Pentagon in its readiness mission.
“We can see through the monitoring of our acute and pacing threats the connection between a changing environment and geopolitical consequences, and the need to potentially elevate the importance of the Arctic," Hickey said. "In some respects, we’re well-equipped to do that. In other areas we might consider improving upon our existing infrastructure.”

Trump Jr. Blames Zelensky For ‘Murder’ Of US Journalist Gonzalo Lira
by Planet Today - 1/13/2024 10:05:00 AM
Donald Trump Jr. has blamed Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky for the death of journalist and filmmaker Gonzalo Lira. Gonzalo Lira, a national of the US and Chile, died while in jail in Ukraine. He passed away on January 11. His family reported his death the following day. In a post on X Donald Trump Jr. wrote: “So we are now allowing our foreign welfare recipients, such as Zelinski [Zelensky], to kill our citizens and our journalists?” He also slammed the likely lack of response to the news in the US media. “I would have waited for the outrage of our media, but I know that it will not happen,” he said.
RT reports: Lira had been in pre-trial detention in Ukraine’s Kharkov since May 2023 on accusations of justifying Moscow’s military operation against Kiev. According to a handwritten note by Lira addressed to his sister and published by the Grayzone news website, the journalist had severe health problems caused by pneumonia and a collapsed lung, which began in mid-October. Ukrainian prison authorities only acknowledged the issue on December 22 and stated he would undergo surgery, Lira wrote.
Following the journalist’s death, his father, Gonzalo Lira Sr., said that his son had been “tortured” while the US Embassy in Kiev “did nothing” to help him. “The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden,” Gonzalo’s father wrote in a note published by the Grayzone. After Russia and Ukraine’s long-simmering disputes turned to military confrontation in February 2022, Lira, who moved to Ukraine and married a local woman in 2010, began actively covering the fighting on social media. He insisted that the conflict had been provoked by the Zelensky government and its Western backers, saying that Ukraine had no chance of winning against Russia and predicted failure. He also criticized efforts by the Western media to portray Ukraine as a “democracy,” speaking about rampant corruption in the government and publishing a list of Zelensky’s opponents who, he claimed, had been “disappeared” by local authorities.

16K Chinese Migrants Headed for U.S. Border, Detained
Sarah Arnold | January 12, 2024 8:15 PM
Border Patrol agents apprehended tens of thousands of illegal Chinese migrants headed for the U.S. border as President Joe Biden's immigration crisis continues to threaten the nation's national security risk.
Since October 1, 2023, Border Patrol agents have detained nearly 16,000 Chinese nationals who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports, 9,844 migrants were apprehended in October and November, leaving roughly 6,800 to be arrested since December 1, 2023.
In addition, Mexican authorities detained 40 Chinese illegal migrants who were traveling by bus in southern Mexico on their way to the United States. That same day, Mexican authorities apprehended 180 migrants in the state of Oaxaca coming from Central and South America— also heading for the U.S.
Since Biden took office in 2021, the number of apprehensions of Chinese migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally skyrocketed from being in the single digits to thousands every month.
There has been a dramatic rise in Chinese apprehensions since Biden's first month in office until now.
In February 2021— Biden's first whole month in office— border agents apprehended only nine Chinese migrants. As the president's reckless, anti-America policies began to settle in, that number rose to dozens per month in FY21, hundreds per month in FY22, and thousands per month in FY23 and FY24.
Apprehensions of Chinese migrants doubled the annual rate of any year before the Biden Administration took office in Border Patrol reports that date back to 2007.
The U.S.-Mexico border has seen record amounts of illegal crossings. The fiscal year 2023 saw a massive number of illegal aliens storm the southern border, with a record of 3.2 million migrants encountered. This number does not include "gotaways" or those who have avoided detection. Since Biden took office, more than 8 million illegal aliens have entered the United States.
A recent Pew Research Center poll found that only 32 percent of U.S. adults are very confident or somewhat confident in the president's ability to make "wise decisions about immigration policy."

Pope defends same-sex blessings declaration, says it is misunderstood
By Philip Pullella Sun, January 14, 2024, 7:19 PM EST·2 min read
ROME (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Sunday defended a landmark decision approving blessings for same-sex couples, suggesting that those in the Catholic Church who have resisted it have jumped to "ugly conclusions" because they do not understand it.
In a television interview, Francis made his first public comments since the Dec. 18 declaration sparked widespread debate in the Church, with bishops in some countries, particularly in Africa, refusing to let their priests implement it.
"Sometimes decisions are not accepted, but in most cases when decisions are not accepted, it is because they are not understood," Francis said in response to a specific question about the December declaration.
"The danger is that if I don't like something and I put it (the opposition) in my heart, I become a resistance and jump to ugly conclusions," he said during a link from his Vatican residence with the "Che Tempo Che Fa" program on Italy's Channel 9.
"This is what happened with these latest decisions on blessings for all," he said, referring to the declaration known by its Latin title Fiducia Supplicans (Supplicating Trust). It was issued by the Vatican's doctrinal department and approved by him.
Since the original declaration, the Vatican has been at pains to stress that the blessings did not amount to an approval of gay sex and should not be seen as anything remotely equivalent to the sacrament of marriage for heterosexual couples.
But even a clarification earlier this month from the Vatican's doctrinal department did not sway bishops in Africa, where in some countries same-sex activity can lead to prison or even the death penalty.
They issued a letter last week saying the December declaration had caused "unrest in the minds of many" and could not be applied because of the continent's cultural context.
Some bishops in France told their priests they could bless gay individuals but not couples.
The Church teaches that gay sex is sinful and disordered and people with same-sex attractions should try to be chaste and the pope appeared to be alluding to this is his response.
"The Lord blesses everyone," Francis said. "But then people have to enter into a dialogue with the blessing of the Lord and see the path that the Lord proposes. We (the Church) have to take them by the hand and lead them along that path and not condemn them from the start".
Since his election in 2013, Francis has tried to make the Church, with its 1.35 billion members, more welcoming to LGBT people, without changing moral doctrine.

'Outrageous - what about us?': Taxpayers now paying for new apartments and two years of rent for illegal immigrants
by: Matthew Holloway 2024-01-13 Source: Law Enforcement Today
The taxpaying public of Maine is bankrolling all new apartments for illegal immigrants according to a new report released by News Center Maine. The outlet added that the illegal immigrants housed in Brunswick in units unveiled by Maine state officials will have their rent paid by the taxpayer for at least two years.
The 2020 Census
recorded that Maine, which boasts a median household income of $68,251, has 10.8% of the population languishing below the poverty level, making less than $23,030. But News Center Maine reported that 60 units to be built at Brunswick Landing will serve as "transitional housing for asylum seekers waiting for work permits." Twenty-four of the units are already complete according to the outlet.
Reportedly, the Maine State Housing Authority under the Biden Administration's Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development is managing the program.
The outlet explained, "MaineHousing will essentially pay the rent for these asylum seekers for up to two years. After that, they will be converted to a mix of market-rate and affordable housing, unless the state says the program needs to be extended."
Dan Brennan, executive director of Maine Housing, told reporters, "This is a very unique solution to a very exciting opportunity in our state. We have thousands of folks coming to Maine who want to make Maine home. We’re doing everything we can to help that situation."
The National Desk reported that Maine has budgeted nearly $3.5 million to cover construction and the two-year rental support, expecting the illegal immigrants to "gain the means" to pay for the apartments themselves with state "support" and "guidance." Maine taxpayers are also funding $100,000 for a year's worth of legal support for assisting asylum claims and work authorization requests.
At the same time, according to 24/7 Wallstreet, Maine has a reported 4,411 people experiencing homelessness in one of the nation's coldest areas, an increase of 110.3% since 2020. The state has been under majority Democrat leadership in both legislative houses since 2018 and hasn't had a Republican governor since.

The U.S. made a breakthrough battery discovery — then gave the technology to China
August 3, 2022 5:00 AM ET
By Courtney Flatt, Laura Sullivan Heard on All Things Considered
When a group of engineers and researchers gathered in a warehouse in Mukilteo, Wash., 10 years ago, they knew they were onto something big. They scrounged up tables and chairs, cleared out space in the parking lot for experiments and got to work.
They were building a battery — a vanadium redox flow battery — based on a design created by two dozen U.S. scientists at a government lab. The batteries were about the size of a refrigerator, held enough energy to power a house, and could be used for decades. The engineers pictured people plunking them down next to their air conditioners, attaching solar panels to them, and everyone living happily ever after off the grid.
"It was beyond promise," said Chris Howard, one of the engineers who worked there for a U.S. company called UniEnergy. "We were seeing it functioning as designed, as expected."
But that's not what happened. Instead of the batteries becoming the next great American success story, the warehouse is now shuttered and empty. All the employees who worked there were laid off. And more than 5,200 miles away, a Chinese company is hard at work making the batteries in Dalian, China.
The Chinese company didn't steal this technology. It was given to them — by the U.S. Department of Energy. First in 2017, as part of a sublicense, and later, in 2021, as part of a license transfer. An investigation by NPR and the Northwest News Network found the federal agency allowed the technology and jobs to move overseas, violating its own licensing rules while failing to intervene on behalf of U.S. workers in multiple instances.
Now, China has forged ahead, investing millions into the cutting-edge green technology that was supposed to help keep the U.S. and its economy out front.
Department of Energy officials declined NPR's request for an interview to explain how the technology that cost U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars ended up in China. After NPR sent department officials written questions outlining the timeline of events, the federal agency terminated the license with the Chinese company, Dalian Rongke Power Co. Ltd.
"DOE takes America's manufacturing obligations within its contracts extremely seriously," the department said in a written statement. "If DOE determines that a contractor who owns a DOE-funded patent or downstream licensee is in violation of its U.S. manufacturing obligations, DOE will explore all legal remedies."
Several U.S. companies have tried to get a license to make the batteries
The department is now conducting an internal review of the licensing of vanadium battery technology and whether this license — and others — have violated U.S. manufacturing requirements, the statement said.
Forever Energy, a Bellevue, Wash., based company, is one of several U.S. companies that have been trying to get a license from the Department of Energy to make the batteries. Joanne Skievaski, Forever Energy's chief financial officer, has been trying to get hold of a license for more than a year and called the department's decision to allow foreign manufacturing "mind boggling."
"This is technology made from taxpayer dollars," Skievaski said. "It was invented in a national lab. (Now) it's deployed in China, and it's held in China. To say it's frustrating is an understatement."
The idea for this vanadium redox battery began in the basement of a government lab, three hours southeast of Seattle, called Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. It was 2006, and more than two dozen scientists began to suspect that a special mix of acid and electrolyte could hold unusual amounts of energy without degrading. They turned out to be right.
It took six years and more than 15 million taxpayer dollars for the scientists to uncover what they believed was the perfect vanadium battery recipe. Others had made similar batteries with vanadium, but this mix was twice as powerful and did not appear to degrade the way cellphone batteries or even car batteries do. The researchers found the batteries capable of charging and recharging for as long as 30 years.
Gary Yang, the lead scientist on the project, said he was excited to see if he could make the batteries outside the lab. The lab encourages scientists to do just that, in an effort to bring critical new technology into the marketplace. The lab and the U.S. government still hold the patents, because U.S. taxpayers paid for the research.
In 2012, Yang applied to the Department of Energy for a license to manufacture and sell the batteries.
The agency issued the license, and Yang launched UniEnergy Technologies. He hired engineers and researchers. But he soon ran into trouble. He said he couldn't persuade any U.S. investors to come aboard.
"I talked to almost all major investment banks; none of them (wanted to) invest in batteries," Yang said in an interview, adding that the banks wanted a return on their investments faster than the batteries would turn a profit.
He said a fellow scientist connected him with a Chinese businessman named Yanhui Liu and a company called Dalian Rongke Power Co. Ltd., along with its parent company, and he jumped at the chance to have them invest and even help manufacture the batteries.
At first, UniEnergy Technologies did the bulk of the battery assembly in the warehouse. But over the course of the next few years, more and more of the manufacturing and assembling began to shift to Rongke Power, Chris Howard said. In 2017, Yang formalized the relationship and granted Dalian Rongke Power Co. Ltd. an official sublicense, allowing the company to make the batteries in China.
Any company can choose to manufacture in China. But in this case, the rules are pretty clear. Yang's original license requires him to sell a certain number of batteries in the U.S., and it says those batteries must be "substantially manufactured" here.
In an interview, Yang acknowledged that he did not do that. UniEnergy Technologies sold a few batteries in the U.S., but not enough to meet its requirements. The ones it did sell, including in one instance to the U.S. Navy, were made in China. But Yang said in all those years, neither the lab nor the department questioned him or raised any issues.
Then in 2019, Howard said, UniEnergy Technologies officials gathered all the engineers in a meeting room. He said supervisors told them they would have to work in China at Rongke Power Co. for four months at a time.
"It was unclear, certainly to myself and other engineers, what the plan was," said Howard, who now works for Forever Energy.
Yang acknowledges that he wanted his U.S. engineers to work in China. But he says it was because he thought Rongke Power could help teach them critical skills.
Yang was born in China but is a U.S. citizen and got his Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut. He said he wanted to manufacture the entire battery in the U.S., but that the U.S. does not have the supply chain he required. He said China is more advanced when it comes to manufacturing and engineering utility-scale batteries.
"In this field — manufacturing, engineering — China is ahead of the U.S.," Yang said. "Many wouldn't believe [it]."
He said he didn't send the battery and his engineers abroad to help China. He said the engineers in that country were helping his UniEnergy Technologies employees and helping him get his batteries built.
But news reports at the time show the moves were helping China. The Chinese government launched several large demonstration projects and announced millions of dollars in funding for large-scale vanadium batteries.
As battery work took off in China, Yang was facing more financial trouble in the U.S. So he made a decision that would again keep the technology from staying in the U.S.
The EU has strict rules about where companies manufacture products
In 2021, Yang transferred the battery license to a European company based in the Netherlands. The company, Vanadis Power, told NPR it initially planned to continue making the batteries in China and then would set up a factory in Germany, eventually hoping to manufacture in the U.S., said Roelof Platenkamp, the company's founding partner.
Vanadis Power needed to manufacture batteries in Europe because the European Union has strict rules about where companies manufacture products, Platenkamp said.
"I have to be a European company, certainly a non-Chinese company, in Europe," Platenkamp said in an interview with NPR.
But the U.S. has these types of rules, too. Any transfer of a U.S. government license requires U.S. government approval so that manufacturing doesn't move overseas. The U.S. has lost significant jobs in recent years in areas where it first forged ahead, such as solar panels, drones and telecom equipment. Still, when UniEnergy requested approval, it apparently had no trouble getting it.
On July 7, 2021, a top official at UniEnergy Technologies emailed a government manager at the lab where the battery was created. The UniEnergy official said they were making a deal with Vanadis, according to emails reviewed by NPR, and were going to transfer the license to Vanadis.
"We're working to finalize a deal with Vanadis Power and believe they have the right blend of technical expertise," the email from UniEnergy Technologies said. "Our transaction with Vanadis is ready to go pending your approval ..."
The government manager responded that he needed confirmation before transferring the license and emailed a second employee at UniEnergy. The second employee responded an hour and a half later, and the license was transferred to Vanadis Power.
Whether the manager or anyone else at the lab or Department of Energy thought to check during that hour and a half or thereafter whether Vanadis Power was an American company, or whether it intended to manufacture in the U.S., is unclear. Vanadis' own website said it planned to make the batteries in China.
In response, department officials said they review each transfer for compliance and said that new rules put in place last summer by the Biden administration will close loopholes and keep more manufacturing here.
But agency officials acknowledged that its reviews often rely on "good faith disclosures" by the companies, which means if companies such as UniEnergy Technologies don't say anything, the U.S. government may never know. That's a problem that has plagued the department for years, according to government investigators.
In 2018, the Government Accountability Office found that the Department of Energy lacked resources to properly monitor its licenses, relied on antiquated computer systems, and didn't have consistent policies across its labs.
In this case, it was an American company, Forever Energy, that raised concerns about the license with UniEnergy more than a year ago. Joanne Skievaski said she and others from the company repeatedly warned department officials that the UniEnergy license was not in compliance. In emails NPR has reviewed, department officials told them it was.
"How is it that the national lab did not require U.S. manufacturing?" Skievaski asked. "Not only is it a violation of the license, it's a violation to our country."
Now that the Department of Energy has revoked the license, Skievaski said she hopes Forever Energy will be able to acquire it or obtain a similar license. The company plans to open a factory in Louisiana next year and begin manufacturing. She bristles at the idea that U.S. engineers aren't up to the challenge.
"That's hogwash," she said. "We are ready to go with this technology."
Still, she says it will be difficult for any American company at this point to catch up. Industry trade reports currently list Dalian Rongke Power Co. Ltd. as the top manufacturer of vanadium redox flow batteries worldwide. Skievaski also worries about whether China will stop making the batteries once an American company is granted the right to start making them.
That may be unlikely. Chinese news reports say the country is about to bring online one of the largest battery farms the world has ever seen. The reports say the entire farm is made up of vanadium redox flow batteries.

Red Sea Chaos: Is The Aggression Of Yemen’s Houthis Rebels Prophetically Significant?
By Mark Hitchcock January 12, 2024
Ever since the Hamas invasion of Israel, the Houthis in Yemen have been firing daily ballistic missiles and suicide drones at Israel, in addition to attacking ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis stand in solidarity with Hamas. They insist that when Israel withdraws from Gaza, they will stop these attacks.
While there are isolated Iran proxies In Iraq and Syria, the three main groups doing the bidding of Iran are Hamas in Gaza, which Israel is attacking now, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the southern portion of Syria, and the Houthi rebels located in Yemen.
Who Are The Houthis?
An article published in late December by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) states, “The Houthi movement’s ideology is deeply rooted in antisemitic, Islamic fundamentalist, anti-American sentiment, as reflected in the slogan on its flag…”
The slogan on the Houthi flag reads: “Allah is great, death to the USA, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam.” That pretty well summarizes what they’re all about.
AJC further noted that “the Houthis are an extremist Shia-Islamist movement and terrorist army.”
Only about 15% of Muslims in the world are Shiites, and about 85% are Sunnis. There are only three nations in the world that have a majority of Shiite Muslims—Iraq, Iran, and Bahrain. The Houthis are part of this Shiite wing of Islam.
“Backed by Iran, this organization controls approximately one-third of Yemen’s territory and more than two-thirds of the country’s population,” the article continues, “It has emerged as a prominent player in the Israel-Hamas war.”
“In recent weeks, Houthi terrorists have fired near daily ballistic missiles and suicide drones at Israel and ships in the Red Sea – most of them intercepted by Israel’s multi-layered air defense system or U.S. warships in the Red Sea,” the AJC described.
There have been about 20 attacks on vessels in the Red Sea. If you look at the map, you will see the Suez Canal at the top of the Red Sea, and down at the very bottom, there is a very narrow strait called “the Gate of Grief” or “the Gate of Tears.” The Houthis are firing on the ships in that area and disrupting global maritime travel and trade.
Just Wednesday, the BBC reported that the Navies of the U.S. and the U.K. “repelled the largest attack yet on Red Sea shipping.” NPR similarly stated that the Houthis’ latest action was the “largest-ever barrage of drones and missiles targeting shipping in the Red Sea.”
All of this is stoking fear of a wider conflict.
NBC News on Tuesday quoted two diplomats from NATO countries, who said that “strike plans against Houthi bases, boats, and weapons in Yemen have already been drawn up.”
NATO already has plans regarding the bases and the different places they’re going to hit in Yemen if these attacks are not stopped. Approximately 10% of the world’s shipping goes through this hotspot. These attacks are very disruptive to commerce and, it is believed, can create inflation.
All of these Houthi actions are directed against Israel. Any ships that are related in any tangential way to Israel are the primary targets.
Is Yemen Mentioned In Bible Prophecy?
It’s interesting that Yemen, where the Houthis are located, is likely the area referred to in the Bible as “Sheba.” That probably rings a bell with many who have heard of the Queen of Sheba, who came and visited King Solomon. Some believe that Sheba may be in Saudi Arabia, but most commentators, scholars, historians, and geographers believe that Yemen is the region in which ancient Sheba was located.
There are nine books and twenty-three verses in the Old Testament that mention Sheba. The area was also referenced in the New Testament, when Jesus mentions the Queen of Sheba, and other places in the Gospels.
The first time that Sheba is addressed in the Bible is back in Genesis chapter 10, with the table of the nations that were scattered from Babel. The last time she was mentioned in the Old Testament is in Ezekiel 38:13, as part of this Gog Magog war.
Ezekiel 38 says that when these Gog Magog nations—Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, and Sudan—invade Israel in the end times, there are some nations that are going to sit on the sidelines and issue a kind of lame protest to what’s happening. Those nations are identified as Sheba, Dedan, and the young lions of Tarshish.
Dedan is likely Saudi Arabia and the other more moderate Arab and Gulf states. The young lions of Tarshish are presumably the nations of Western Europe. Sheba could be part of Saudi Arabia, but it’s probably Yemen.
If that’s true, then something is going to have to happen in Yemen to neutralize these Houthi rebels. As mentioned earlier, if the Houthis keep making these attacks in the Red Sea, NATO has stated that they are prepared to take them out. There may be a lot of twists and turns before we get to the end, but Yemen is going to be a much different nation in the end times than they are today, becoming neutral or even on the Israeli side in the Ezekiel 38 war against the Jewish State.
Any discussion of Sheba or modern Yemen is not complete unless we look at a couple of passages in the Old Testament. King Solomon wrote two Psalms, one of which is Psalm 72, which looks at the great and glorious golden age of Israel when Solomon reigned. Writing this Psalm, he goes beyond himself, looking at the ultimate “King’s son,” who will be the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, who is going to rule the world. He writes, “The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.” This is a foreshadowing of the coming millennial reign of Christ.
Isaiah 60:1-6 says, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.”
You know, when they came to worship the baby Jesus, they brought gold, which speaks of His deity, frankincense, Which speaks of His perfect life, and myrrh, which is used for embalming bodies, speaking of His death. You’ll notice here in the millennial reign of Christ when they come, it says they bring gold and incense. There’s no myrrh. Jesus died once, never to die again.
We look forward to that day when the nations will stream to the land of Israel to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Sheba today in Yemen are firing ballistic missiles and drones into Israel, but the day is going to come when they’re going to bring gifts to the land of Israel to worship the Messiah. What a reversal that is going to be, and we pray that it will come soon.
The first event that will trigger all of these is the rapture of the church. We have every reason to believe it could happen very soon. I pray that we’re ready for that event.

Four die as killer Arctic freeze grips America: US battles coast-to-coast sub-zero temperatures with windchill as low as minus 70F as THUNDERSNOW rocks New York and 95million are under weather warnings
Most of the US is under the grip of icy winter weather as series of Arctic storms lead to dangerous conditions
An Oregon woman died in an RV fire while across the US Arctic storms left four dead and caused power cuts
Buffalo experienced thundersnow with heavy snowfall, leading to the postponement of an NFL playoff game
By James Gordon For Dailymail.com and Wires
Published: 02:05 EST, 15 January 2024 | Updated: 06:47 EST, 15 January 2024
A deadly Arctic blast will continue sweeping across the U.S. on Monday and linger through at least midweek, subjecting nearly 100 million Americans to weather warnings while prolonging a bitter cold that has killed four people already, including an Oregon woman who died when a fire spread from an open-flame stove after a tree fell on to her RV.
In the Dakotas and Montana, forecasters predict a wind chill of minus 70, which can cause frostbite almost instantly. Officials have implored members of the public to remain home. Similar temperatures will be felt from the Northern Rockies all the way to Kansas. In the northeast, blinding snow has brought the region to an almost standstill.
In Buffalo, New York where snowfall of 1 to 2 feet was forecast, severe conditions saw thundersnow - a bizarre phenomenon in which thunder and lightning occur during a snowstorm.
The weather system threatens to further disrupt daily life, including an NFL playoff game and the first-in-the-nation presidential nominating contest in Iowa.
In the Hawkeye State, the wind chill will leave temperatures feeling testing the hardiness of caucusgoers willing to brave the deep chill on Monday.
'You can't sit home,' former President Donald Trump told supporters Sunday. 'If you're sick as a dog, you say, 'Darling, I gotta make it.' Even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it.'.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo native, posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing near-whiteout condition ahead of the Bills playoff clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
'Conditions right now in Orchard Park, where the game would have started moments ago,' she wrote early Sunday afternoon. 'No visibility and dangerously high winds.'
The Bills invited diehard fans to help dig out snow-filled Highmark Stadium, offering $20 an hour for their labor.
'We made progress shoveling, but not much at all,' said Logan Eschrich, a storm chaser who made his way to Buffalo and pitched in.
It remains to be seen if the show will go on Monday afternoon. The weather service expects heavy lake-effect snow to push into upstate New York from Lake Erie, adding to the 1 to 2 feet of snow already blanketing the region. Snow fell at a rate of 2 inches per hour.
'It takes a matter of minutes for frostbite to set in,' the South Dakota Department of Public Safety said in a statement Sunday urging people to stay indoors.
Other parts of the country could see temperatures drop 25 to 40 degrees below normal, from the Rockies to the Ohio Valley.
As temperatures in Texas plunged, the state's power grid operator appealed to residents to voluntarily conserve electricity Monday morning due to the cold weather causing 'record breaking demand' for energy.
A deadly freeze in 2021 left millions of Texans without power but state officials this week expressed confidence about the grid's reliability as the cold front approached.
Freezing rain is expected to pelt parts of the Southern Plains and Southern Appalachians.
Even places like Florida won't be spared from turbulent weather, with forecasts predicting showers and thunderstorms from Monday into Tuesday.
In Oregon, more than 120,000 homes and businesses were without electricity, most of them in the Portland metro area, a day after high winds and a mix of snow and ice brought down trees and power lines.
Some 100 trees toppled over the weekend in a community just south of Portland, including one that fell on a house and killed a man. Two other people died of suspected hypothermia and a fourth died in a fire that spread from an open-flame stove after a tree fell onto an RV.
'Given the extent of the damage and the high level of outage events, restoration efforts will continue into the week and customers are encouraged to plan accordingly,' Portland General Electric said in a statement. The utility said it was watching a second weather pattern that could bring high winds and freezing rain on Tuesday.
Widespread power outages affecting tens of thousands were also reported Sunday in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In Nebraska, the Omaha Public Power District asked customers to conserve electricity to prevent outages.
Airports across the country were impacted. More than half of flights into and out of Buffalo Niagara International Airport were canceled. Scores of flights also were canceled or delayed at Chicago, Denver and Seattle-Tacoma airports.
An Oregon woman was killed Sunday in a fire that spread from an open-flame stove after a tree fell onto her RV during a ferocious winter storm. Four people had been inside the RV when the massive tree came down.
'There was a big rumbling and the RV started shaking up and down. It lifted it up and slammed it on the ground. It just fell in,' Bill Nelson told KATU.
A fire ignited within seconds. 'At first, it was just two feet of fire and all of sudden, the whole back end was on fire,' Nelson explained. The woman in her 30's died after she was trapped inside.
The storm is set to moves across the South and East throughout the start of the week. The Southeast, especially the Tennessee Valley, is already experiencing snow, ice, and freezing rain.
Winter storm warnings have been issued for areas from northeast Texas to the southern Appalachians, including cities like Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville, Tennessee.
Winter weather advisories cover regions from Texas to the Virginias, affecting major cities including as Dallas and Houston.
Heavy snowfall is predicted for parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. In the Northeast, the storm may bring lighter snow to the region - possibly ending New York City's prolonged snow drought.
In the west, Portland, Oregon has been enduring strong winds leading to downed trees - but below freezing temperatures will be an issue across much of the country.
The conditions were so bad in Buffalo it led officials to postpone the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers NFL playoff game from Sunday to Monday. Winds whipped at 30 mph, and snow was falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour.
Workers with shovels and trucks worked to clear snow from the field at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium as the Bills warned volunteers eager to help with the shoveling to stay at home and not defy a travel ban on area roads.
'Looks like a pretty good day to not have a football game,' New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo native, posted on X with a video clip of whiteout conditions in the western New York city.
At least one Bills player was out in the bad weather Sunday putting his newfound free time to good use.
Offensive tackle Ryan Van Demark shared a video on Instagram showing fellow lineman Alec Anderson helping a motorist struggling with icy road conditions.
'Good Samaritan, Alec, helping the people,' Van Demark could be heard narrating on the brief clip.
Zack Taylor, a National Weather Service meteorologist in College Park, Maryland, warned some parts of the Northeast would see intense snowfall and extreme winds, with gusts up to 50 mph possible.
'That's why they're expecting to see near-blizzard conditions at times,' Taylor said.
Across the country in Oregon, more than 120,000 homes and businesses were without electricity, most of them in the Portland metro area, a day after high winds and a mix of snow and ice brought down trees and power lines.
'Given the extent of the damage and the high level of outage events, restoration efforts will continue into the week and customers are encouraged to plan accordingly,' Portland General Electric said in a statement.
The utility said it was watching a second weather pattern that could bring high winds and freezing rain on Tuesday.
The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services said its crews were working non-stop at multiple locations to make emergency repairs and prevent sewage releases into homes and businesses.
Portland's largest sewage pump station, which serves downtown and the surrounding inner city, was under partial service due to a frozen pipe.
Widespread power outages affecting tens of thousands were also reported Sunday in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
In Nebraska, the Omaha Public Power District asked customers to conserve electricity to prevent outages.
'The weather came on faster and has been more prolonged than anticipated,' the district said in a statement Sunday.
Airports across the country were also impacted. More than half of flights into and out of Buffalo Niagara International Airport were canceled.
Scores of flights also were canceled or delayed at Chicago, Denver and Seattle-Tacoma airports.
Forecasters also warned that rapid bursts of heavy snow and wind could cause drastic and sudden drops in visibility in eastern Pennsylvania and parts of northern New Jersey and Delaware with some 'near whiteout conditions' possible.
Another Arctic storm that's dumped heavy snowfall in the Rockies was forecast to push further south, potentially bringing 4 inches to 6 inches of snow to parts of Arkansas, northern Mississippi and west Tennessee.
Juan Villegas wore layers of clothing beneath his heavy coat Sunday as he and roughly a dozen subcontractors in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, shoveled away a blanket of snow, which also covered park benches and partially buried fire hydrants the day before the state's presidential caucuses.
Working in temperatures of 15F degrees, Villegas said the best way to feel warm was to 'just keep moving.'
'If you stay doing nothing, it´s when you really feel the cold,' Villegas said.
Much of Wisconsin were under advisories through Monday afternoon, with predicted wind chills as low as -30F.
Even parts of northern Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia could see snow.
In Shreveport, Louisiana, Mary Trammel was among residents who stocked up on bottled water, food and fuel for generators ahead of subfreezing weather expected to coat some roads in ice and up to an inch of snow.
'It's cold out here,' said Tramel, who told KSLA-TV she bought bread and ingredients for enough soup to last days.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared a state of emergency in advance to give utility trucks and trucks hauling essential supplies greater flexibility to respond.
Officials in Mississippi's capital city of Jackson were preparing for days of freezing weather after cold snaps in 2021 and 2022 caused pipes to burst and water pressure to drop across the city of 150,000.
'We feel as confident as we can that we're prepared for whatever comes our way,' Ted Henifin, Jackson's interim manager of the city's long-troubled water system, told WAPT-TV. He said crews were on standby to respond to any broken pipes.
The wild weather didn't just bring snow and ice.
Record high tides that flooded some homes in Maine and New Hampshire on Saturday also swept three historic fishing shacks into the sea from where they had stood for more than 130 years in South Portland, Maine.
'History is just being washed away,' Michelle Erskine said Sunday, a day after capturing video footage of the last two wooden shacks sliding into the ocean.
In Oregon, just south of Portland, 100 trees toppled Saturday, including one that fell on a house and killed a man - two other people died of suspected hypothermia.
The snow and gusting winds had let up Sunday in Oregon, but frigid temperatures meant roads remained treacherous and much of Portland was shut down.
The snow and gusting winds had let up Sunday in Oregon, but frigid temperatures meant roads remained treacherous and much of Portland was shut down.
In nearby Lake Oswego, Glenn Prohaska was looking for a business that had WiFi so he could book a hotel. With the power out, the temperature in his home had dropped to the 20s overnight.
'In the 40 years I´ve been here, this is the worst I´ve seen,' he said.

Sweden Army Chief: "All Citizens Must Prepare for War (w/Russia)"
World Hal Turner 09 January 2024 Hits: 10350
The Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, Büden, and Minister of Civil Defense, Bulin, announced Monday that All Swedish citizens must prepare for the fact that war may break out in the country."
Bulin called on everyone to help build Sweden's total defense, and on municipal officials to provide shelter points, an emergency water and food supply plan, and on workers to ask their employer what their role is in organizing a workplace war, and to consider what they will need to be able to continue working in difficult conditions.
Sweden continues to follow the course of joining NATO, which is why the confrontation with Russia is expected to escalate.

As America Blows Up With A Ton Of Evidence Joe Biden Sold Us Out, He And His Traitorous Sidekicks Are Set To Widen WW3 To Finish Off Our Destruction And Bring In Tyranny & Chaos
January 9, 2024 By James Howard Kunstler and All News Pipeline
“To an authoritarian ruling elite insane narratives serve as both loyalty test and humiliation ritual.” —Kit Knightly
The ordeal of the holidays, and the void of action that attends it, is over. Now, history resumes its awesome out-spooling. Will it be tyranny, collapse, war, civil war, renewal? Probably some wicked combo of all that. The players are taking the field again. The great engine of the game comes back to life with a cough and a rumble.
Did you notice that “Joe Biden” ceremonially kicked off his “reelection campaign” with that speech at Valley Forge, blaring the “insurrection” klaxon? Is it not astounding that half the people in our country have no idea that the joke is on them? “Joe Biden” is marking time in the oval office until the moment he must use his unique legal prerogative to pardon himself and all the members of his family for their roles in the influence-peddling racket he fronted as veep. . . and then he’ll gallantly step aside.
The optimum play would be to hold off on that until just before the Democratic Party’s convention, where a claque of super-delegates can pick somebody else in a back room filled with estrogen vapors. It kind of depends on whether a faction of corruption-resistant Republicans will ante up for that impeachment inquiry we keep hearing about. Despite the obvious bullsh!t on CNN about “no evidence,” there is actually a garbage barge of evidence steaming up the Potomac to prove that “Joe Biden” sold out his country. It simply needs to be laid out with brutal decorum in the proper setting.

The catch is that a House committee can report out a bill of impeachment — as we’ve seen before — but a trial in a Democrat-majority Senate would probably fail to bring a conviction. The additional catch is that even so, the whole country will have watched the sordid spectacle and seen enough proof of malfeasance to foul the waters for the Party of Chaos in the November election, no matter who heads the ticket.
It must also be obvious that the party is running out of lawfare tricks for shackling Mr. Trump. Jack Smith’s J-6 case is a dog’s breakfast of erroneous supposition, misprision, and persecutorial misconduct, soon to be wrecked by the Supreme Court; the Mar-a-Lago raid case is a patent fraud; the Fulton County, GA, RICO case is a Fani Willis masturbation fantasy, and the two New York raps under DA Alvin Bragg and AG Letitia James will be laughed out of appeals courts. Anyway, Mr. Trump seems to thrive on the noxious vapors thrown off by these rancid actions. If all these genius moves fail, how else can they stop the Golden Golem of Greatness. . . and his promise of keen retribution for the serial hoaxes run on him and all the fiendish trips laid on the nation since 2016?
They can try to kill him. Can you put it past our “intel community”? It is exactly that nucleus of the DC blob that has the most to fear from a second Trump term. Dozens of them will be charged with sedition and even treason, a hanging crime. And if they succeed in whacking Mr. Trump, that would only leave a huge opening for Bobby Kennedy, who has an even bigger axe to grind against the agency that rubbed-out his father and his uncle.
We held a meet-up here this weekend in my little upstate New York town to make plans for the petition drive in April-May to get RFKJr on the New York ballot. I told the group that much as I would relish seeing Donald Trump mop up the floor with the people who perverted the rule of law and just about spatchcocked our country, I believe Bobby Kennedy would be a better choice to lead us through the dark defile of history that circumstance has jammed us in. He is just as determined to expunge the horrific blob corruption, but without Mr. Trump’s exasperating artifice and grandiosity. If anything, RFKJr appears unpretentiously authentic, respectful, resolute, and reverent about history’s tragic arc. You can imagine him persuading that deranged half of the country that the blob is not on their side, either.
So far, this scenario has left out several of the other dispiriting plays that could get our country into even deeper trouble than mere domestic politics offer. The “Joe Biden” regime, its NeoCon fellow travelers, and its mysterious globalist taskmasters, appear avid to start a big war, most likely by going after Iran — only to suck in Russia, Turkey, and a host of miscellaneous Islamic maniacs against us, and not in a way that radiates a great outcome.
The invasion of stateless mutts across the Mexican border looks like an accessory to that play, since it includes countless thousands of potential saboteurs who can wreak havoc in the homeland while our obsolete aircraft carrier groups get blown up in the Mediterranean. Even registered Democrats might finally notice that the open border is a problem.
And, black swans aside — because they are aside and unknowable by definition — there’s the excellent prospect of a financial fiasco in the works that would wipe the smiles off the smug faces of all the remaining elite Wokesters, blob handmaidens, and news media myrmidons who depend on Wall Street to pay their mortgages. The national debt is zooming at a trillion dollars every month or so now. You know that can’t go on, don’t you? If all else fails in this era of mass formation mind-f***ery, the disappearance of a whole lot of money might finally get people’s attention.

The WHO has begun negotiations for a new pandemic treaty, here's how it would work
Posted Tue 23 May 2023 at 8:02am

The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the midst of negotiating a new way to deal with pandemics, in the wake of the COVID-19 virus.
The WHO has a target date of May 2024 for a legally binding agreement to be adopted by the UN health agency's 194 member countries.
A new pact is a priority for WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who called it a "generational commitment that we will not go back to the old cycle of panic and neglect" at the UN agency's annual assembly.
It seeks to shore up the world's defences against new pathogens following the COVID-19 pandemic that has killed nearly 7 million people.
Here's what we know.
What is the 'pandemic treaty'?
The new treaty is a global accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response to protect nations and communities from future pandemic emergencies.
Negotiations on the draft will continue over the next year according to a timetable laid out by the World Health Assembly.
For the new more wide-reaching pandemic accord, member states have agreed that it should be legally binding for those who sign up, overcoming early reservations from the United States.
It would be only the second such health accord after the 2003 Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, a treaty which aims to reduce smoking via taxation and rules on labelling and advertising.
However, the proposed treaty has come under fire on social media, mostly from right-wing critics warning it could lead to countries ceding authority to the WHO.
The body strongly refutes this, stressing that governments are leading the negotiations and are free to reject the accord.
The WHO already has binding rules known as the International Health Regulations, which in 2005 set out countries' obligations where public health events have the potential to cross borders.
These include advising the WHO immediately of a health emergency and measures on trade and travel.
Adopted after the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak, these regulations are still considered appropriate for regional epidemics, such as Ebola but inadequate for a global pandemic.
These regulations are also being reviewed in the wake of COVID-19.
How do countries view the pact?
The European Union, which proposed the accord, is seen as its biggest backer.
Developing countries, especially in Africa, are keen to use the negotiations to secure better access to vaccines, following allegations of "vaccine apartheid" from the WHO's Director-General Tedros.
After five rounds of formal negotiations, the latest 208-page draft of the treaty still includes thousands of brackets, which mark areas of disagreement or undecided language, including over the definition of the word "pandemic".
With so many member countries involved, securing agreement may be tricky.
How would it work?
It is not yet clear how the 2005 regulations and the new pandemic accord might fit together.
One suggestion is that they should be complementary, so that existing rules apply to local outbreaks with the new rules kicking in if the WHO declares a pandemic — something it does not currently have a mandate to do.
It is also not yet clear what happens if the measures are not followed.
A co-chair of the talks said it would be preferable to have a peer-review process, rather than sanction non-compliant states.
What other reforms are in the works?
Separate talks on reforming the 2005 rules are taking place, with countries proposing some 300 amendments.
Washington's initial proposals aimed to boost transparency and grant the WHO quicker access to outbreak sites.
China did allow WHO-led expert teams to visit the COVID-19 epicentre in Wuhan, but the WHO says Beijing is still withholding clinical data from early cases that may hold clues about the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Negotiators privately grumble about overlap between the two sets of talks and a joint meeting to clarify their agendas is planned.

“Synthetically-Generated Genomically Targeted Plagues” Will Be the Future of Warfare, says New Defense Report
MJ Banias· January 5, 2024
In a recent report by the RAND Corporation, funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the National Defense Research Institute, researchers explored the potential for engineered pathogens to become instruments of warfare. Now that advanced and complex biotechnology has left the realm of science fiction, and become reality, analysts and experts are beginning to assume that nation-states and non-state groups will consider these technologies in their planning and strategic forecasts.
“Technological improvements, including messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines, the use of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) gene sequences as a genetic engineering tool, and advances in BCI (brain-computer interfaces), may shift strategic calculations,” the report states. “The emergence of ever more countries with advanced biotechnology capabilities raises a new, more dynamic future for biotechnology at war.”
Historically, biological weapons were often dismissed by nation-states due to the high risk of collateral damage to their own forces. Pathogens have a nasty habit of moving around, and targeting enemies and allies alike. Moreover, nation-states have generally shied away from large-scale biological weapons, and focused their work on more precise targeting, such as assassinations. It should be noted that this isn’t a hard rule though. It is no secret that in the early-2000s, Al Qaeda was dabbling in the creation of large scale anthrax weapons, but due to Western intervention as well as the high resource cost, the terrorist group found it easier to simply rely on more traditional weaponry.
However, the landscape is changing. Advances in biotechnology, particularly in the field of engineered pathogens, are presenting new strategic opportunities and challenges in warfare. As artificial intelligence continues to develop and CRISPR technology becomes simpler and more cost effective, the report states that the idea of creating an engineered pathogen that targets specific individuals with certain genetic markers is quickly leaving the realm of science fiction.
It is also much easier to hide.
“In comparison with nontransmissible pathogens, transmissible ones are inherently difficult to attribute to an actor or even to natural versus human causes…[and] have much greater potential for mass casualties and societal disruption,” the report states.
This difficulty in attribution makes transmissible bioweapons appealing for clandestine operations, as their origins can be easily obscured, thereby complicating international accountability and response.
The RAND report explains, “The intrinsic ambiguity of disease transmission is a strategic asset for actors who wish to achieve concrete goals… in a clandestine manner.” This ambiguity presents a significant hurdle in developing effective countermeasures and in holding perpetrators accountable.
There is a big caveat here, and it circles around access. In order to create such biotechnological weapons, the actor will either need to build it themselves using very expensive and high level technology, or steal it from what will be highly secured laboratory environments. While many Western countries like the United States, or near-peer adversaries like Russia and China will have the resources to effectively build such weapons, the vast majority of other countries won’t.
“The easiest technical means for realizing a transmissible bioweapon would be for a malicious actor to gain access to a laboratory already equipped to manipulate high-risk pathogens,” the report says. In simple terms, they steal the technology.

AI Justice: England and Wales Authorize Judges To Use Artificial Intelligence To Produce Rulings
by Paul Serran Jan. 9, 2024 8:15 am
A lot of people are fed up with the whole AI subject. Some even feel like if they never hear of this subject again, it’ll be soon enough.
But whatever our personal feelings, there’s no denying that these technologies are spreading like wild fire to a multitude of fields of activity.
Read: Vast Majority of US Workers Believe Artificial Intelligence Could Do Their Jobs
And once it enters the realm of regulators, law enforcement and the judiciary – which it is in the process of doing – the implications for our civil liberties are impossible to dismiss.
Consider this: England’s 1,000-year-old legal system — wigs, robes and all — is giving judges permission to ‘use artificial intelligence to help produce rulings’.
Yes, you read that right.
Associated Press reported:
“The Courts and Tribunals Judiciary last month said AI could help write opinions but stressed it shouldn’t be used for research or legal analyses because the technology can fabricate information and provide misleading, inaccurate and biased information.
‘Judges do not need to shun the careful use of AI’, said Master of the Rolls Geoffrey Vos, the second-highest ranking judge in England and Wales. ‘But they must ensure that they protect confidence and take full personal responsibility for everything they produce’.”
Read: Music and AI: Lovely Duet or Downright Dissonant?
A profession slow to embrace technological change reacts to a rapidly advancing technology alternately portrayed as a panacea and a menace – or both.
“’There’s a vigorous public debate right now about whether and how to regulate artificial intelligence’, said Ryan Abbott, a law professor at the University of Surrey and author of ‘The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law’.
‘AI and the judiciary is something people are uniquely concerned about, and it’s somewhere where we are particularly cautious about keeping humans in the loop’, he said. ‘So I do think AI may be slower disrupting judicial activity than it is in other areas and we’ll proceed more cautiously there’.”
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts did addressed artificial intelligence usage in his annual report, but the federal court system in America has no guidance on AI.
US State and county courts, furthermore, are too fragmented for a universal approach.
Cary Coglianese, law professor at the University of Pennsylvania: “’It is certainly one of the first, if not the first, published set of AI-related guidelines in the English language that applies broadly and is directed to judges and their staffs’, Coglianese said of the guidance for England and Wales. ‘I suspect that many, many judges have internally cautioned their staffs about how existing policies of confidentiality and use of the internet apply to the public-facing portals that offer ChatGPT and other such services’.”
Read: Lawyer Gets Serious Suspension for Filing ‘Fictitious’ Motion with AI
The danger of the technology have already manifested itself in the infamous incident where two New York lawyers relied on ChatGPT to write a legal brief that quoted fictional cases. The two were fined by an angry judge who called the work they had signed off on ‘legal gibberish’.

Powerful storm leaves hundreds of thousands in the DARK in the Northeast after leaving 4 dead across the South; Final blow to New England Wednesday
Jan 10, 2024
A powerful storm that battered a large swath of the eastern US, knocking out power across several states and leading to multiple rescues, is delivering its final blow to New England Wednesday. Here’s the latest:
• Widespread power outages amid freezing temperatures: There were more than 600,000 homes and businesses without power across more than a dozen states Wednesday morning, including nearly 145,000 in New York and more than 105,000 in Pennsylvania, according to poweroutage.us. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was concerned about residents not having power Tuesday night amid freezing temperatures.
• Storm turns deadly: At least four deaths were reported in Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina as storms walloped the states with fierce winds and rain.
• Tornado reports and damage left behind: The storm has generated 25 tornado reports across Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina since Monday. In South Carolina, “significant damage” from a potential tornado was reported in the city of Bamberg, 60 miles south of Columbia, where the century-old City Hall building collapsed, according to city clerk-treasurer Robin Chavis.
• Storm’s final push: Snow, rain and wind will push out of the Northeast by Wednesday afternoon, but is still hammering Maine and parts of northern New England. The storm’s winds are combining with high tide to push water onto coasts during the morning.
• Swollen waterways fuel flood fears: Multiple rivers were at major flood stage in the eastern US early Wednesday, most of them in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, including in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to the weather service. In Connecticut, the Yantic River was perilously close to hitting a record high level.
• Flights canceled: More than 1,350 flights were canceled and more than 8,700 flights were delayed on Tuesday, according to data from FlightAware. Some of those are due to the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max 9, but thunderstorms caused significant disruptions in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Florida and North Carolina airports.
• Dangerous driving conditions: Drivers in parts of New England and the interior Northeast could have a difficult time on the roads, with lingering rain and snow and wind gusts through Wednesday afternoon. In Iowa, a section of Interstate 80 had to be closed down Tuesday afternoon due to whiteout conditions that led to a multi-vehicle crash. In Kansas, around 30 people, including children, got stranded and had to be rescued from vehicles and taken to a high school during blizzard and whiteout conditions Monday.
• Another storm is coming: A storm much like this one is set to hammer many of the same areas with all hazards Friday and Saturday. The storm will take a similar path, meaning severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are once again possible in the Southeast, snow is possible in the Midwest and rain and wind will once again return to the East Coast.
Deaths reported across 3 states
As storms swept through the Southeast with dangerous winds and saturated the ground with rain, authorities reported several deaths across Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina.
A driver was found dead on a highway in Jonesboro, Georgia, Tuesday morning after a tree fell and crushed a vehicle’s front windshield during severe weather. The Clayton County Police Department told CNN the weather appears to be a factor in the death.
Another person died Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama, after a tree fell on a vehicle, according to Birmingham Fire and Rescue Captain Orlando Reynolds.
The Pacific Northwest also go its dose of crazy weather:
Rescue crews found the person dead in the car with the tree still on top of it Tuesday morning. The area had received over 2 inches of rain saturating the ground and had winds gusting over 30 mph on Tuesday.
Over 210 miles away in Cottonwood, Alabama, an 81-year-old woman was killed during Tuesday’s storm, according to Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe.
The woman was found dead after her mobile home was flipped multiple times, Shoupe said. Several buildings were damaged throughout the town and recovery efforts could last “many, many weeks,” Shoupe said.
Travel chaos in Portland:
In North Carolina, one person was killed and two more were critically injured in a mobile home community in Claremont, about 45 miles northwest of Charlotte, according to Amy McCauley, communications director for Catawba County.
The National Weather Service is currently evaluating if it was a tornado that hit the community, McCauley said.
US vice president’s plane diverted because of storm
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s plane, Air Force Two, was diverted on its way back from Atlanta on Tuesday because of weather conditions, her office said.
“Tonight, en route from Atlanta, GA, Air Force 2 was diverted to Dulles International Airport from Joint Base Andrews due to inclement weather,” Harris’s spokesperson, Kirsten Allen, said in a statement.
The plane encountered “wind shear,” according to a source familiar with the incident. Wind shear is a change in wind speed or direction over a short distance, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane landed safely at Dulles and Harris is now home. TOO BAD!
Winter storm conditions expected to persist through the weekend in some of the areas and at least two others to follow… [News 8000, Knoxnews, Politico, Swissinfo, USATODAY]

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready. For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later. But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again. It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment. Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding. Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there. You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are. For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them. Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

Trump Will Be “The Winter Coat” – Charles Nenner Warns “The Cycle Is Turning Down Very Fast”

Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner has been warning of a huge war cycle that happens every 120 years or so.
ia Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,
Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner has been warning of a huge war cycle that happens every 120 years or so.
If you don’t wake up, this is what you are going to get, and that is a communist Marxist situation.”
So, is there nothing that can be done to save America? Nenner says,
“The cycle is turning down, and people ask is there anything you can do? You cannot do anything about it. The question is what can you do? You have summer and then you have winter…
if you know winter comes after summer, you can buy a coat. I have predicted all these war situations, and out of the blue they are here. There is nothing you can do about it.”
Where does Donald Trump fit in? Nenner says,
“Trump is going to be the winter coat. I think he can make it less bad. If this continues the way it is, then we are going downhill very fast. I think Trump is coming back.”
Nenner says interest rates are not going down until summer. He likes gold longer term, but it has not bottomed yet.
The stock market is in for at least a 30% fall in the next few months, and the country will fall into a deep recession after the halfway point in 2024.
Yes, it could turn into the greatest depression ever because there is astronomical debt. Nenner thinks the wild card is a multifront war that has already started.
Be warned as Nenner thinks it can spin out of control at any time.
War gets much worse before it gets better.
Nenner also is warning about a huge wave of terrorism coming to America with the wide-open southern border.
There is much more in the 45-minute interview.

Doug Casey on De-Banking, Financial Censorship, and a Social Credit System
January 10, 2024
International Man: Since 2020, we’ve seen measures aimed at censoring and de-platforming voices that challenge the mainstream agenda.
Dr. Joseph Mercola has been targeted as a misinformation spreader and deplatformed. Nigel Farage has been de-banked because of his political views.
What’s your take on this trend of hyper-politicization of everything?
Doug Casey: It seems that most everything has been hyper-politicized. But it’s worse than that. There’s a more fundamental problem. The basic philosophical and psychological underpinnings of society have been so poisoned that everybody thinks in terms of politics—which is to say, they think the government should be used to coerce society.
You can’t easily cure the disease of hyper-politicization. The people who control academia, major corporations, the media, and the entertainment industry, among other things, actually hate the values of Western Civilization. Worse, these people control the apparatus of the State and use laws and regulations to enforce their views.
DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) is just the most recent manifestation of the sickness infecting the West. Everybody is viewed as either the oppressor or the oppressed, an essentially Marxist view that amplifies the intrinsically corrosive nature of politics.
As long as the State exists, you’re either the ruler or the ruled. That’s why I “identify,” to use a currently fashionable word, as an AnCap or anarcho-capitalist.
Artificial concepts like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” and “microaggressions” have only come up in the last decade, but they’re now everywhere. They’re hard to wash away because they aren’t just pseudointellectual fads but signs of psychological derangement—or spiritual sickness. The syndrome can be termed “Wokism.”
Although the Wokesters are happy to pass laws, they’re finding laws aren’t really necessary to destroy their enemies. Just make it impossible for them to live normal lives. If they can’t use banks, can’t express themselves, or gain employment, they can be transformed into nonpersons.
It’s almost as if a variety of the Hindu caste system is being implemented here in the US. If a person can neither readily access his money nor say anything in public, then he’s really become a type of untouchable.
It’s a very, very bad trend. Especially since the Wokesters—who are the modern equivalents of French Jacobins or Soviet Bolsheviks—also control the apparatus of the State. That allows them to use coercion under the cover of law.
But the rot is so deep that they don’t even have to use laws. The mob, what the Romans called the capite censi, the headcount, can enforce their will by force of numbers. They can “cancel” their enemies using democracy.
International Man: China has a formal social credit system in which citizens’ actions, views, and behaviors are tied to the money system and everyday life.
While the rest of the world doesn’t function this way, things seem to be moving in the same direction.
Do you think this could become a reality in the West?
Doug Casey: We already have our own unofficial variety of the Chinese social credit system. They’re called credit scores, computed by outfits like Equifax. Younger people actually like to compare their credit scores, seeing them as signs of approval from the society at large. I know it’s a shocking concept, but you don’t really need a credit score if you pay cash for everything. Stay off the debt treadmill. You don’t have to be a good “consumer.”
“Consumerism,” however, is fading from the national consciousness, but mainly because everyone is too head-over-heels in debt to consume much more. It’s being replaced by “Wokeism.” Words and movements ending in “ism” typically involve using peer pressure, social opprobrium, and moral approbation to move people where you want to move them. On the one hand, they’re the glue that holds society together. But they can be manipulated by power-hungry sociopaths to destroy civil society.
Humans are herd animals. It’s dangerous to stand out because animals that move in flocks, herds, or packs tend to ostracize oddballs or outsiders. If you don’t go along with groupthink, the others might consider you a traitor.
This is what so-called cancel culture is enforcing on society. It’s very anti-individualistic. One characteristic that made Western civilization better than and different from any other civilization in world history is that Western civilization overtly endorsed and promoted individualism.
But a social credit score, Wokeist society is intensely anti-individualist. In fact, Wokism, like Marxism, is antithetical to every characteristic of Western Civilization (link).
Contrary to what the masses now believe, Wokism is not forward looking, or “progressive” in the sense of progress. It’s retrogressive. We’re going backward to a tribal-like culture.
International Man: Many aspects of life, from socializing to spending and earning money, have become digital.
Does this benefit or threaten individual freedoms?
Doug Casey: The computer is a double-edged sword. It’s like gunpowder. When gunpowder was developed, the ruling classes controlled it and used it to suppress the peasants. But it wasn’t long before the peasants were using gunpowder to unhorse armored knights and batter down their rulers’ castles. The tables were turned.
Technology has always worked to liberate the common man. Gunpowder led to physical liberation, and the printing press led to intellectual liberation. People no longer needed a priest to tell them what was in the Bible; they could read it for themselves.
The computer should liberate the common man in the same way. Right now, however, the State and its corporate minions still control most platforms and systems. But at some point, hackers are going to turn the tables. Or perhaps the system will collapse because it’s become overly complex and unwieldy. Central control and the State itself will then fall apart.
Unfortunately, the current trend is not only still in motion, but gaining momentum.
The important thing to remember is that computers aren’t your enemy. Your enemy is the State, which uses this technology to regiment and suppress its subjects.
International Man: A big part of this trend toward control has to do with de-banking individuals.
The bank won’t even tell you why they are closing your account, and you will probably have trouble opening accounts at other banks.
Essentially, someone could be pushed out of the traditional monetary system completely.
What’s your take on what people can do to combat this?
Doug Casey: It’s very clear that “the system” is moving towards even more digitalization of money. It’s moving towards a centralized Fedcoin, the evil twin of the decentralized Bitcoin. All your financial transactions will soon go through a central computer system.
Every dollar that you own will be in digital, not tangible or physical form. Your dollars will be controlled by a central authority, unlike cash, which is dispersed and untraceable. Commercial banks will still perform administrative functions and charge fees, but I suspect your dollars will be held by the Fed itself. It will be a big change. But since most banks today are already bankrupt—and things are in process of becoming much worse—it will be applauded for keeping us “safe.”
What should you do in the face of this?
The first thing you should do is redouble your efforts to produce more than you consume and save the difference. Just don’t save in dollars or any other digital fiat currency. You want to save in gold and Bitcoin. They are out of the system, and the government can’t easily touch them.
The second thing is, whenever possible, to request payment in gold or Bitcoin from people you do business with. It may be inconvenient for them to trade their digital dollars for gold or Bitcoin in order to pay you. But you should insist on it, if at all possible. It will not only protect your assets but further delegitimize the idea of fiat money.
It probably won’t do much good, but when you have a receptive listener, you may want to discuss some simple economics. Most people know nothing about the nature of money. Some will recognize the truth of what you’re saying. As Jesus said, “Let those who have ears hear.”
A lot of this is a psychological and moral battle. Doing and saying the right thing is important to help win the moral battle.
International Man: As a speculator, what types of opportunities do you see as a result of this trend? And what obstacles do people have to keep and grow their wealth?
Doug Casey: The economy is mutating before our very eyes. The whole world is overfinancialized—which means there’s an overwhelming amount of trading and leverage in every kind of stock, bond, property, commodity, derivative, and shitcoin. Huge numbers of people are gambling, using options instead of roulette wheels.
The trillions of freshly created fiat dollars have encouraged everybody to gamble. Some use online casinos, others use Charles Schwab or Robinhood.
The amount of financial activity which doesn’t produce new wealth is quite amazing. It’s the result of the trillions of dollars of new purchasing media the Fed has pumped into society. As the Greater Depression bites in earnest, they’re financially devastated; people will forget the markets exist. In fact, they’ll be angered when reminded of them.
What should you do? Own gold and Bitcoin for savings. Over time, they’ll at least be stable, but they’ll probably go up relative to everything else.
The stocks of companies mining either gold or Bitcoin are excellent speculations. They’re fundamentally cheap and very depressed right now.
In your first question, you mentioned the hyperpoliticization of society. It’s causing huge problems. So you’ve got to insulate yourself politically—for practical purposes, that means geographical distance.
The financial environment is extremely risky, but the political environment is even more risky. You have to diversify politically, which means getting at least some of your money out of your home country. Foreign exchange controls are likely.
It’s best to own property in at least one foreign country if you have the assets to do so. And if you don’t, make sure you get the assets so you can do so.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, most people have no idea what really happens when a government goes out of control, let alone how to prepare…

Thousands of James Madison High School students are kicked out of their NYC building to make room for 2,000 migrants evacuated from Floyd Bennett Field due to storm threat
By Stephen M. Lepore For Dailymail.Com
Published: 21:47 EST, 9 January 2024 | Updated: 09:27 EST, 10 January 2024
New York City kicked students out of a Brooklyn high school in order to relocate nearly 2,000 migrants housed at Floyd Bennett Field ahead of a potentially damaging storm.
Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov posted video of the migrants entering James Madison High School without having to scan their faces the way students typically do.
'A lot of law enforcement and other agency resources have been poured into this situation tonight. Also, these children are being moved from place to place and will be forced to wake up at 4:30am to leave the school to go elsewhere. Unacceptable situation for all!'
In a statement, City Hall referred to the illegal migrants as 'guests' and called it a temporary stay.
'The health and safety of migrants in our care is always a top priority, which is why we are currently overseeing the relocation of 1,900 guests from the humanitarian emergency response and relief center at Floyd Bennett Field due to an updated forecast with increased wind speeds estimated to be at over 70 MPH tonight.'

New York City kicked students out of a Brooklyn high school in order to relocate nearly 2,000 migrants housed at Floyd Bennett Field ahead of a potentially damaging storm
The migrants started their evacuation just before 5 p.m. and NYC school officials announced the students usually at the Brooklyn school would participate in remote classes on Wednesday.
'This is f***** up,' a local resident who identified himself only as Rob told the New York Post. 'It’s a litmus test. They are using a storm, a legitimate situation, where they are testing this out. I guarantee you they’ll be here for the entire summer.'
One woman screamed at the buses as the arrived at the school around 6 p.m.
'How do you feel? Does it feel good?' the woman shouted, according to the Post
'How does it feel that you kicked all the kids out of school tomorrow? Does it feel good? I hope you feel good. I hope you will sleep very well tonight!'
The widespread heavy rain, strong winds and fierce thunderstorms that arrived on Tuesday are forecast to continue into the following day. New Yorkers were told to brace for 'more inclement weather' bringing potential for flooding by Adams.
Generally across the northeast, commuters on Wednesday morning are being warned of possible travel chaos due to lingering flooding and blocked roads from downed trees.
'To be clear, this relocation is a proactive measure being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals working and living at the center,' Kayla Mamelak, an Adams spokesperson, said in a statement.
'The relocation will continue until any weather conditions that may arise have stabilized and the facility is once again fit for living.'
Councilwoman Joann Ariola, a frequent critic of Adams' handling of the migrant crisis, said she predicted problems with the Floyd Bennett shelter from the start.
'I warned the administration that something like this would happen from day one and they refused to listen.'
'Floyd Bennett Field is entirely unsuitable for a tent complex, and how we are wasting tax-payer dollars to evacuate nearly 2,000 people when they should have been placed somewhere like the Park Slope Armory.
It wasn't just New Yorkers sounding off. X CEO Elon Musk posted his thoughts over a video of the migrants moving.
'This is what happens when you run out of hotel rooms. Soon, cities will run out of schools to vacate. Then they will come for your homes,' he wrote.
The evacuation at Floyd Bennett Field comes as migrant families were moved out of a midtown Manhattan hotel on Tuesday as part of Adams' plan to ease the pressure on New York City's strained shelter system by imposing a 60-day limit on shelter stays.
The roughly 40 families that left Row NYC, in the heart of the city´s Theater District, are the first of scores of families that are expected to leave city shelters in the coming weeks.
Some of those leaving on Tuesday immediately reapplied for beds, while others said they had managed to find more permanent accommodations outside of the system.
Adams, a Democrat, imposed the limit in October for homeless migrant families, saying the move was necessary to relieve a shelter system overwhelmed by asylum-seekers crossing the southern U.S. border.
He is seeking millions for the resources New York City has expended to provide shelter and services to thousands of asylum seekers, putting a strain on the the city's schools, shelter system and budget over the last 18 months.
More than 161,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring 2022 with 68,000 of that number living in the city-run shelters, according to city officials.
Last week, Adams office said that more than 7,000 asylum seekers had arrived in the city over the last two weeks, CBS News reported.
Adams has often clashed with the president and Democrats in Washington, constantly begging Washington for money to solve a disaster that he claimed will 'destroy my city.'
He has estimated the city will spend $12 billion over the next three years to handle the influx, setting up large-scale emergency shelters, renting out hotels and providing various government services for migrants.
In December, the Democrat announced a $110.5 billion budget, claiming cuts across all departments were necessary after the city spent $1.45 billion in fiscal 2023 on the migrant crisis.
The budget cuts would cause NYPD officers to be cut by a fifth, or 13.5 percent, by postponing the next five academy classes, bringing officers below 30,000 - down from 36,000.
Education would also take a $1 billion hit over two years and it would cause a delay in the rollout of composting in the Bronx and Staten Island, causing reduced trash pick-ups as well as cuts to the city's pre-K programs.
The New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library and Queens Public Library also would need to eliminate Sunday service due to the budget cut.
'Without sufficient funding, we cannot sustain our current levels of service, and any further cuts to the Libraries' budgets will, unfortunately, result in deeper service impacts,' the libraries said in a statement.
The cuts would also decrease funding for two children's programs: summer school and universal prekindergarten.
Adams has long warned about the potential of budget cuts to help offset the rise in costs for housing migrants. He has pleaded with the federal government for more resources, but they have fallen on deaf ears.

UK and US same demise! UK Royal Navy has so few soldiers it’s forced to decommission ships so frigates won’t go unmanned
Jan 8, 2024
Overwhelming incompetence and corruption, which are a product of the establishments efforts, also just so happen to hamper their more nefarious agenda…
Drastic shortages of sailors have forced the Royal Navy to decommission two of its warships, it was reported last night.
HMS Westminster and HMS Argyll were allegedly retired so their crews could transfer to the service’s new Type 26 frigates. The news comes as UK sailors were sent to the Red Sea to protect merchant vessels from Houthi rebels.
The retirement of HMS Westminster is controversial as it underwent expensive repairs in 2017 and only recently returned to service.
James Cartlidge, minister for defence procurement, told MPs in October that the estimated cost for refitting HMS Westminster was £100million.
The decommissioning of the ships comes as record numbers of sailors, such as navy divers and engineers, are signing off. Many have been headhunted by private sector companies who can double their wages.
Whitehall sources quoted in the Daily Telegraph justified the pensioning off of older ships so the Royal Navy can perform as a ‘modern, hi-tech fighting force’.
A source said: ‘It is always emotive when ships with long histories come to the end of their working lives. But decommissioning is the right decision.
‘The new Type 26 frigates will be in service before those ships can be refitted.’
According to official statistics, the Royal Navy has performed the worst of the services for recruitment in the last 12 months.
The same can be seen over in the US: US military to begin 2024 with lowest troops numbers in over 80 years.
Its intake of recruits dropped by 22.1 per cent in the 12 months to March 2023, while the RAF dropped by almost 17 per cent and the Army by nearly 15 per cent.
In response to the crisis serving Royal Marines have been offered £500 to persuade friends on ‘civvy street’ to enlist.
Last night, former head of the Royal Navy Admiral Lord West said that Britain’s warships were ‘dropping like flies’.
He added that the UK needs a much bigger surface fleet, as the Royal Navy is presently limited in what it is able to achieve.
Shadow defence secretary John Healey has accused the government of failing to get a grip on problems within the armed forces.
Last year, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the UK’s armed forces, admitted the Royal Navy had just ’11 or 12′ frigates and destroyers which were fully operational.
A Royal Navy spokesman said: ‘The operational requirements of the Royal Navy are kept under constant review.
‘The Ministry of Defence is committed to ensuring the Royal Navy has the capabilities it needs to meet current and future operational requirements.’
Earlier this week the UK joined an international coalition intended to protect merchant vessels in the Red Sea from attacks by Houthi terrorists based in Yemen, which began with the hijacking of the Galaxy Leader in November.
But at present only one warship, HMS Diamond, has been committed to the role, joining American and French warships in a US-led international taskforce dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian.
The UK has called for an ‘immediate end’ to attacks on container ships by the Iranian-backed rebels, joining 11 other countries to issue a final warning to militants to cease hostilities along the important maritime trade route.
Allied nations including the US, Australia, Denmark, Germany, Japan and New Zealand have warned that the Houthis would ‘bear the responsibility of the consequences should they continue to threaten lives’.
The Yemeni rebels say they are targeting Israel-linked or Israel-destined ships, and aim to end Israel’s air and ground offensive in Gaza following the attack by Hamas on October 7.
Asked on Tuesday whether Britain was considering more armed support to protect the vital global shipping route, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: ‘Planning is under way for a range of scenarios. No decisions have been made.
‘We will continue to pursue all potential routes, including diplomatic routes.’

REPORT: Biden Justice Dept ordered stop investigating po-Hamas/antisemitic activities
They encircle me with words of hate; they attack me without cause.
Psalms 109:3 (the israel bible)
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
US-Israel Relations
January 5, 2024 2 min read
A report by the Washington Free Beacon claims that the US Justice Department issued a “stand-down order”, telling federal law enforcement and US attorneys to stop investigating “incitement, violence, and vandalism” committed by Hamas supporters who hold US visas.
A complaint was filed by the America First Legal Foundation, a conservative legal advocacy group, accusing the Biden administration of “turning a blind eye to the massive uptick in violence against Jews across America in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel”
“It appears that concerns regarding the potential electoral consequences of protecting Jewish Americans and enforcing American anti-terrorism laws and/or sympathy for Hamas’s aims are inappropriately biasing the Department’s decision-making,” America First wrote in the complaint.
The law requires that foreigners on F-1 student visas who support Hamas and terrorism should be deported. Naturalized citizens who support Hamas and terrorism should be denaturalized and deported as well. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits universities from encouraging, facilitating, or funding anti-Semitic professors and pressure groups.
The America First investigation is trying to determine why the Biden Justice Department is not enforcing the law.
“The images from America’s colleges and universities over the past month are horrifying,” Ian Prior, America First Legal Senior Advisor said. “As Hamas wages a brutal and inhumane terrorist campaign with the goal of wiping out Israel, the radicalization of America’s higher education system has shown itself to be a bastion of anti-semitic wokeness, with students demonstrating in support of Hamas’s human atrocities. The “ said Ian Prior.Biden Department of Education has been quick to move mountains to suppress parents speaking out against public school curriculum, but is seemingly nowhere to be found when it comes to enforcing civil rights laws and protecting Jewish students from threats, harassment, and intimidation from their radicalized classmates on campuses throughout the country,
“This silence is purposeful,” Reed Rubinstein, America First Legal’s senior counselor and director of oversight and investigations, told the Free Beacon. “[It is the product of] leftist anti-Israel ideologues in the bureaucracy and, in part, White House political concerns that protecting American Jews will suppress Democrat voter turnout among the pro-Hamas community.”

US home visiting program says parents denying child’s ‘gender expression’ may be abusive
A Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program document says abuse need not be 'overt' and can look like 'denying a child the right to play, dress, and act as they would like.'
Katelynn Richardson Wed Jan 3, 2024 - 2:28 pm EST
(Daily Caller News Foundation) — A federally funded “home visiting” program advises service providers to watch for signs of abuse against “gender-diverse children,” citing parents who deny their young child the “right” to cross-dress as an example, a document shows.
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is intended to combat abuse and neglect while promoting “positive parenting” and school readiness among “pregnant people and families” with young children who are at-risk for “poor maternal and child health outcomes,” according to its website. The guidance offered to government workers who visit homes at the request of families categorizes steering a child away from “gender expression” that does not correspond with his or her biological sex as abuse.
One document titled “Parental Acceptance of Gender Expression in Young Children” tells home visitors it is important for them to “recognize and address the abuse and neglect that may result, either directly or indirectly, from rejection of a child’s gender expression.”
“Gender-diverse children are frequently the targets of violence or harm – by other children, caregivers, or family members,” the document states.
Abuse need not be “overt,” it explains, but can look like “denying a child the right to play, dress, and act as they would like.”
“Home visitors are uniquely positioned to support family acceptance of children’s gender expression,” the document instructs. “Home visiting, at its core, is dedicated to building strong parent-child bonds in all families. Acceptance of gender expression is key to forging and maintaining these bonds.”
The document further claims that accepting a child’s gender expression can “protect against depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal attempts.” However, studies have cast doubt on the idea that affirming a child’s gender identity leads to better mental health outcomes.
Doctors have also expressed concerns that statistics about transgender suicide rates are not only inflated, but that activists’ frequent focus on the numbers may actually drive children with gender identity issues to suicide by creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
“It is insane to vilify parents simply for wanting their gender-confused children to feel comfortable in their own bodies,” American Principles Project president Terry Schilling told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “If anyone is guilty of abuse, it is the gender ideologues who feed kids the pernicious lie that they can somehow change their sex, setting them on a pathway to destructive body modifications.”
The program is run by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), which is part of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a subagency of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It awards grants to states that carry out approved “home visiting” programs for at-risk “pregnant people and families” with young children.
An HRSA spokesperson told the DCNF that programs report suspected child abuse “consistent with relevant federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies.”
“Home visitors support parents and caregivers by providing information and guidance on a wide range of topics intended to promote child well-being, including safe sleep practices, injury prevention, and nutrition,” the spokesperson said. “Home visitors also conduct screenings for caregivers and provide referrals to address postpartum depression, substance use, and family violence, and other risk factors associated with child maltreatment.”
The agency awarded $434,721,579 in 2023 to home visitors in 50 states and six territories in fiscal year 2023, according to its website. The program provided over 840,000 home visits in fiscal year 2022, according to a report.
The agency said resources like the “Parental Acceptance of Gender Expression in Young Children” document are “developed to provide background information, research and data, and strategies for program recipients to support improved health and development for all children served by MIECHV programs.”
Schilling said this is “just the latest chilling example of the Biden administration’s war on families.”
“We are rapidly headed down a road where every parent in this country who opposes the transgender agenda risks losing custody of their kids,” he told the DCNF. “The grave threat to families posed by this administration cannot be ignored. Pro-family Americans must fight it at every turn: in Congress and the state legislatures, in the courts, and most importantly, at the ballot box next year.”
A recent rule proposal by the Biden administration’s HHS would transfer children out of foster families that do not affirm their “gender identity,” excluding families with religious objections from their definition of a “safe and appropriate placement” for LGBT youth.
Under the rule, foster care agencies “must not place LGBTQI+ identifying children with a provider who unreasonably limits or denies a child’s ability to express their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.”
“For example, to be considered a safe and appropriate placement, a provider is expected to utilize the child’s identified pronouns, chosen name, and allow the child to dress in an age-appropriate manner that the child believes reflects their self-identified gender identity and expression,” the rule continues.

Government banning prayer? It's already happened in one location
27 American states have taken steps in similar direction
Bob Unruh By Bob Unruh Published January 3, 2024 at 10:22am
One Australian state, Victoria, already has adopted laws that essentially make practicing Christianity, specifically prayer, a crime, and a commentary at The Daily Signal warns America is heading that direction with its bans on "conversion therapy."
Conversion therapy is a derogatory term for counseling that encourages those who have unwanted same-sex attractions to live the lives they choose, and provides them skills to use to pursue their goals.
It's been banned in many locations in America by lawmakers and others kowtowing to the ideology of the LGBT agenda. Quite literally in many locations, but not all, they've succeeded in promoting pro-LGBT counseling, but banning anti-LGBT discussions.
"It seems that the transgender movement aims to demonize any attempt to delay experimental medical interventions on children using the 'conversion therapy' label," the commentary explained. "Victoria’s law condemning certain forms of prayer seems beyond the pale for Americans, but 27 states, along with Washington, D.C., and one U.S. territory have laws banning 'conversion therapy' for minors, according to the pro-LGBTQ Movement Advancement Project."
The author, Tyler O'Neil, explained, "These laws only allow therapy in one direction; namely, for an LGBTQ identity—even if a patient expresses a desire to overcome unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria.
"If states insert themselves into the therapist-patient relationship by outlawing mainstream patient-directed talk therapy for patients who do not embrace their same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, how long before they outlaw pastors praying for those struggling individuals in public settings?"
O'Neil, managing editor of The Daily Signal and the author of "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," explained that's where Victoria already has gone.
That state's "Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Act 2021," which went into effect in 2022, actually bans "certain practices aimed at changing or suppressing an individual’s gender identity or sexual orientation," he said.
And it bans "carrying out a religious practice, including but not limited to, a prayer-based practice, a deliverance practice or an exorcism."
It's the bureaucrats of the state Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission that outline what prayer actually is banned.
That would be, "prayers that are directed at a person to change or suppress their sexual orientation or gender identity cause harm and are prohibited."
Also prayers that "ask for healing; ask for a person to change; ask for a person not to act on their attractions; talk about a person’s brokenness or need to repent; [and] ask for long-term celibacy."
The commission explains to Christians they can, however, practice their faith "without causing harm" by petitioning God "for guidance; that are supporting and reassuring that the person is created in their God’s image and perfect the way they are; that acknowledge their God loves the individual."
The commentary noted, however, that the commission appears ignorant of the fact "that some of these condemnations and 'suggestions' amount to theological claims that arguably violate orthodox Christian doctrine."
He noted, "If calls for repentance violate the law, then Christianity itself has been made illegal in the state of Victoria, home to roughly 7 million Australians."
And he pointed out the law singles out prayers concerning "people who identify as LGBTQ."
The commission insists that traditional Christian prayer practices are "harmful," and says it only has placed "limitations" on peoples' faith.
Meanwhile, the political ideology appears to contradict science, as even Stephen B. Levine, a psychiatrist and early supporter of transgender medical interventions, said "transgender interventions" on children should be avoided.
The commentary noted, "While neurologists and psychotherapists once employed horrific methods, such as lobotomies and electroshock 'treatment,' to try to force people with same-sex attraction to become straight, these kinds of 'conversion therapy' have rightly been condemned. Therapists today offer patient-driven talk therapy, which states such as Victoria outlaw."
And he noted, "At least one recent study has suggested that the scientific evidence allegedly undermining sexual orientation change efforts actually shows that LGBT people who undergo non-'affirming' therapy actually have lower rates of suicide."
In the United Kingdom, there already have been cases brought against Christians who have committed the offense of silent prayer, if they happen to be in a zone that carries special protections for abortionists and their lucrative industry.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, "CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world's freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction."

WASHINGTON (AP) — An armed unmanned surface vessel launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen got within a “couple of miles” of U.S. Navy and commercial vessels in the Red Sea before detonating on Thursday, just hours after the White House and a host of partner nations issued a final warning to the Iran-backed militia group to cease the attacks or face potential military action.
Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Navy operations in the Middle East, said it was the first time the Houthis had used an unmanned surface vessel, or USV, since their harassment of commercial ships in the Red Sea began after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. They have, however, used them in years past.
Fabian Hinz, a missile expert and research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the USV’s are a key part of the Houthi maritime arsenal and were used during previous battles against the Saudi coalition forces that intervened in Yemen's war. They have regularly been used as suicide drone boats that explode upon impact.
Most of the Houthis’ USVs are likely assembled in Yemen but often fitted with components made in Iran, such as computerized guidance systems, Hinz said.
At the United Nations, U.S. deputy ambassador Christopher Lu said at a emergency Security Council meeting on Wednesday that Iran has supplied the Houthis with money and advanced weapons systems, including drones, land attack cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. He said Iran also has been deeply involved in planning the Houthis' attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
He said the United States isn’t seeking a confrontation with Iran, but Tehran has a choice.
“It can continue its current course,” Lu said, “or it can withhold its support without which the Houthis would struggle to effectively track and strike commercial vessels navigating shipping lanes through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.”
This raises questions as to whether any action against the Houthis would also address Iran's role in any way, which could risk widening the conflict.
A statement Wednesday signed by the United States, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom gave the Houthis what a senior Biden administration official described as a final warning.
“Let our message now be clear: we call for the immediate end of these illegal attacks and release of unlawfully detained vessels and crews,” the countries said in the statement. “The Houthis will bear the responsibility of the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, and free flow of commerce in the region’s critical waterways.”
Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder would not say whether any military action would follow Thursday's launch of the sea drone.
″I’ll let the statement speak for itself, which, again, represented many nations around the world and highlighted that if these strikes don’t stop, there will be consequences,” Ryder said.
Since late October, the Houthis have launched scores of one-way attack drones and missiles at commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea. U.S. Navy warships have also intercepted ballistic missiles the Pentagon says were headed toward Israel. Cooper said a total of 61 missiles and drones have been shot down by U.S. warships.
In response to the Houthi attacks, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in December announced Operation Prosperity Guardian, with the United States and other countries sending additional ships to the southern Red Sea to provide protection for commercial vessels passing through the critical Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Cooper said 1,500 commercial ships have been able to transit safely since the operation was launched on Dec. 18.
However, the Houthis have continued to launch missiles and attack drones, prompting the White House and 12 allies to issue what amounted to a final warning Wednesday to cease their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea or face potential targeted military action.
Cooper said Operation Prosperity Guardian was solely defensive in nature and separate from any military action the U.S. might take if the Houthi attacks continue.
The U.S., United Kingdom and France are providing most of the warships now, and Greece and Denmark will also be providing vessels, he said.

Iraq prepares to close down US-led coalition's mission - PM
Ahmed Rasheed and Phil Stewart
By Ahmed Rasheed and Phil Stewart Updated Fri, January 5, 2024, 12:45 PM EST·4 min read
BAGHDAD/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Iraqi government is beginning the process to remove the U.S.-led international military coalition from the country, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's office said on Friday.
The U.S. has 900 troops in Syria and 2,500 in Iraq on a mission it says advises and assists local forces trying to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State, which in 2014 seized large parts of both countries before being defeated.
Sudani's statement came a day after a U.S. strike killed a militia leader in Baghdad, prompting anger among Iran-aligned groups which demanded the government end the presence of the coalition in Iraq.
"Government is setting the date for the start of the bilateral committee to put arrangements to end the presence of the international coalition forces in Iraq permanently," a statement from the prime minister's office said.
The committee would include representatives of the military coalition, a government official said.
The U.S. military launched Thursday's strike in retaliation against recent attacks on U.S. personnel, the Pentagon said.
Iran-aligned militia groups in Iraq and Syria oppose Israel's campaign in the Gaza Strip and hold the U.S. partly responsible.
Iraqi PM Sudani has limited control over some Iran-backed factions, whose support he needed to win power a year ago and who now form a powerful bloc in his governing coalition.
"We stress our firm position in ending the existence of the international coalition after the justifications for its existence have ended," Sudani was quoted as saying in the statement.
Islamic State claimed responsibility on Thursday for two explosions in Iran that killed nearly 100 people and wounded scores at a memorial for top commander Qassem Soleimani.
A political adviser close to the Iraqi prime minister said Sudani was falling under huge pressure from powerful Shi'ite parties close to Iran seeking to end the U.S. presence in Iraq and his recent statement was aimed at "appeasing angry parties within the governing Shi'ite coalition against the United States".
Still, it was unclear if Baghdad's announcement on Friday was mainly posturing for internal, political purposes or if the newly announced committee would truly set into motion an inexorable process to end America's military presence in Iraq, a longtime goal of Iran and groups Iran supports.
U.S. PRESENCE
U.S. President Joe Biden's administration had initially avoided any response to wave after wave of attacks in Iraq due to fears about a political backlash there, U.S. officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
But Iraq's failure to rein in the militia amid escalating attacks against American personnel, including mortar fire against the U.S. embassy compound last month, appears to have pushed Washington into a more aggressive approach.
The U.S. strike in Baghdad on Thursday targeted Mushtaq Jawad Kazim al-Jawari, who the Pentagon said was a leader of an Iran-backed terrorist group involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel.
The Pentagon declined to respond to Iraqi government comments suggesting he was part of its security forces, which include formal, legitimate institutions like the police and the Army.
The Iraqi government said the killed commander was part of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a group of many mainly Shi'ite Muslim armed groups formed in 2014 to fight Islamic State and subsequently recognised as an official security agency by Iraq's government.
In a sign that U.S. military sought to publicly acknowledge efforts by Iraq's formal security forces to address attacks against U.S. personnel, its Central Command thanked Iraq's police for their Jan. 3 discovery of a land-based cruise missile that a U.S. official said was aimed at American troops in the country.
"The Coalition is appreciative of the efforts of the legitimate security forces in Iraq for their efforts to prevent future attacks," it said in a post on social media platform X.
The Pentagon did not respond to requests for comment following the announcement from Sudani's office, referring journalists instead to comments on Thursday by the top U.S. military spokesperson calling Iraq a "valued partner."
"We will continue to consult closely with the Iraqi government about the safety and security of U.S. forces. In the meantime, we will continue to stay very focused on that Defeat ISIS mission," Major General Patrick Ryder told a news briefing on Thursday.

Rescuers scramble to find residents trapped under rubble after series of strong quakes strike Japan, spawning grave tsunami threat
By Social Links for Olivia Land and Social Links for Jesse O’Neill
Published Jan. 1, 2024 Updated Jan. 1, 2024, 7:58 a.m. ET
Japan issued tsunami warnings Monday after a powerful earthquake shook its western coast, trapping some beneath rubble and others scrambling for cover on higher ground.
More than a dozen quakes were reported off the coast of Ishikawa shortly after 4 p.m., the largest of which was measured at 7.5. magnitude, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, which issued a major tsunami warning for Ishikawa and lower-level warnings or advisories for the rest of the western coast on the island of Honshu.
The tremors first caused four foot tall waves to strike coastal cities, where residents were urged to immediately get to high ground ahead of expected waves of up to 17 feet tall, according to the broadcaster NHK TV.
As a result, warnings were aired continuously nearly an hour after the initial alert.
But by Monday evening, most of the tsunami warnings had been canceled, but some tsunami remained in effect for waves up to three feet, CNN noted.
One tsunami wave that struck Suzu City “could have been a lot worse,” CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said, referring to footage of the crest bearing down on the coastal city.
The aftershocks could continue for months, seismologist Susan Hough with the US Geological Survey warned CNN.
A car is trapped under a collapsed house following an earthquake, in Shika town, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan.
“An earthquake this big is going to continue to have aftershocks. It could easily have aftershocks bigger than magnitude 6, so that is going to be a hazard in its own right,” Hough explained.
“You can see all the snow from the the electric wire goes down, and also (the snow) from the roof fell down and all the cars are shaking. And so everybody was panicked at that time,” Taiwanese tourist Johnny Wu told Reuters of the moment the quake hit Ishikawa.
“The whole room was shaking, the TV was shaking. I had to keep everything on the table. … I did feel safe in my room, though. But everything else was shaking,” Baldwin Chia, visiting from Shanghai, added.
On Monday afternoon, government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi urged people to head to higher ground “immediately.”
At least six homes were damaged by the quakes, trapping their occupants inside, Hayashi said.
A fire in Wajima city connected to the disaster had also left some 30,000 households in the dark, according to the spokesperson.
Several buildings were damaged and roads were cracked by the initial earthquake, and some of the country’s famous Shinkasen bullet trains were also suspended as residents fled to safety, CNN reported.
“In response to the M7 earthquake at Noto region in Ishikawa prefecture, we have immediately set up the Prime Minister’s Office of Response – Disaster Counter Measure HQ,” Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishid wrote on X.
“Putting human lives as priority, we are making every effort to assess damages — putting forth all efforts in disaster response. For those in affected areas, please pay close attention to the latest information and place personal safety as your priority.”
A tsunami threat has also been declared in the eastern Russian cities of Vladivostok, Nakhodka, and the island of Sakhalin, CNN reported, citing the Russian state media TASS.
Japan is an extremely earthquake-prone country. In March 2011, a major quake and subsequent tsunami killed nearly 20,000 people and caused meltdowns at a nearby nuclear power plant.

Rude awakening: 4.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Los Angeles on New Year's Day
The quake struck 12 miles off the coast from the city of Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles County at 8.27am
Residents as far flung as Santa Clarita, San Bernardino, Temecula, Mission Viejo and Catalina Island reported shaking
It comes after a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off Japan - that seismic activity was 100,000 times greater than the 4.1-quake off LA

A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles on New Year's Day.
In a rude awakening for revelers nursing hangovers, the quake struck 12 miles off the coast from the city of Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles County at 8.27am.
The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 4.3 but that was later revised down to 4.1 by the US Geological Survey.
Shaking from the tremor, which had a depth of seven miles, was felt across the county. Residents as far flung as Santa Clarita, San Bernardino, Temecula, Mission Viejo and Catalina Island reported shaking.
It comes after a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off Japan - that seismic activity was 100,000 times greater than the 4.1-quake off LA.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage in California.
The offshore tremor was 'way too small to even talk about tsunamis,' seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said on X.
In the last ten days, there has been at least one earthquake of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby.
There are five earthquakes on average every year in the greater LA region with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0.

Why 2024 Will Be A Year For The Ages: Prophetic Signs In The Heavens Show God's Looming Judgment Upon Us Nears With The Skies The Harbingers Of Wars And Other Impending Disasters
By Alan Barton - All News Pipeline January 1, 2024
As I and many others have said, the year 2024 is not going to be a normal year (please see Stefan Stanford’s great article from December 30). Far from it as a matter of fact; and that is judging only by what the present troubles and indicators show. We will not go into all of that now as there have been numerous articles, sermons, shows and more on all of that. I would rather discuss some things that may be a bit out of the ordinary to many, some of which we have covered before but a refresher is always welcome. Perhaps we should begin with something that I have mentioned over and over and that is the significance of the August 21, 2017 and the April 8, 2024 solar eclipses that cross over the middle of the nation and what that may portend.
Do not fall for the argument that we are dabbling in sorcery and astrology, which is not the case. What we are doing is acknowledging the fact that the Lord said a number of times that He uses the heavens to give signs and seasons and that there are going to be signs in the heavens before Jesus Christ returns to Earth and qualifies as Astronomy, NOT the sorcery of “astrology” although we recognize that the astrological signs are of most ancient order and are likely originating with God. Please see the first video below for further explanation of this understanding. I see this pair of eclipses as part of those signs along with the Revelation 12 sign a month later on September 23, 2017. To be fair, solar eclipses happen on a regular basis and usually over open water, but when in conjunction with promised peoples and their disobedience to their covenants and over their lands, it portrays something else other than pure mathematical and mechanical sequencing of orbiting bodies. The United States is one such covenant peoples as our Founding Fathers dedicated this land to our Creator Jesus Christ and we are now breaking that promise to Him.
The Revelation 12 sign of 2017, however, has not happened before in earth’s mortal history exactly as described but has come closest in 3915 BC. Yes, very similar situations have happened before, but not exact as in the way the one in September 2017 follows precisely the revelation given to John by Jesus Christ. There would be missing stars over the Virgin’s head (constellation Virgo), and the sun would not be over her shoulder, or many other variations but NONE have had the “Conception comet” C/2017 E1 that appeared to the naked eye when exiting Jupiter (representing God the Father) in Leo (also representing God) and entering the Virgin’s womb for nine months and then exiting the womb via the physically proper area, then disappearing. The one in 3915 BC (some think about the time that Adam left the Garden of Eden) had, besides missing that comet, one of the twelve stars in her crown was Saturn and supposedly means the sign of the seven years fall, or the exit from the Garden of Eden according to many Bible scholars. The 2017 sign had Mars in its place, the harbinger of war such as perhaps World War Three. Let’s emphasize that, Mars means war.
Speaking of the last days, in the book of Joel 2 we read “ 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” It is not my purpose to quote scripture here, but I do wish to point out a few things within this passage. One is that the Lord will show wonders in the heavens and those solar and lunar eclipses are a primary point of His warning us and showing His timing of things. The Sun turned to darkness is the biblical way of saying solar eclipse and the moon turned to blood indicates a lunar eclipse. As we have forgotten our Lord, it would be very wise of us to repent and call upon His name and ask for forgiveness which also requires that we do His will. Perhaps we will survive the looming disasters in that way.
The Blood Moon occurs because the Earth’s shadow passes over the moon and the effects from the atmosphere modify the light. Please see the short video below to understand if you are unaware of how this happens.
We might also note that the eclipse happens right over the star Regulus, the brightest star in the Zodiac sign of Leo, also known as the sign of the King. This is clearly a prophetic sign in the heavens; perhaps a sign that God will be judging us.
These two solar eclipses occur over the heartland of the nation. Not in the geographical center, but make an X over the heartland, one might say the center of the overall population or focal point of what makes America the America we know. Note that it is also over the same area as the massive earthquake in 1812 known as the New Madrid earthquake. Take from that what you will but please be aware of the possible ramifications.

The more poignant point to be made is that 2024 is an election year with the gravest of consequences in its results and more importantly how those results will be decided and accepted or rejected by the peoples involved. The 2020 election was stolen from the rightful winner and it is likely that the 2024 elections will be as well. This is literally a coup against the American peoples and we will not stand still for this evil. It also coincides with another point on the occurrence of these two eclipses and another item regarding the seven year cycles that the Lord uses for His purposes.
Remember that the Creation was over six days and then the Lord rested for the seventh, thereby creating the Sabbath day. The life history of this mortal Earth is in that same process with six millennia of time and then the Lords rest of the seventh. We see this in the seven seals of the book that John was shown. The first seal was over the first thousand years, the second over the second thousand and so on. These seals are like was seals used in ancient times to place an approval or lock specific documents, usually by the King or his administrators. Also realize that the book was likely as most books were in ancient times written as a scroll, and therefore the scroll would open until the first seal was met. Then that seal was broken and the scroll unrolled until the second seal was met, and so on thereby uncovering the secrets one section of the scroll at a time. This also means that the previous scroll segments were not halted, but rather the next seal opened up further knowledge added to the one previous. The number seven means perfection or completion and that can be interpreted all throughout scripture and indicating wholeness and goodness.
Using this analogy we can see that the first seal of the White Horse, and depending on which view of the scriptures you accept as valid, means more than one thing. Whether you use the Historical, the Futurist, the Idealist, or the Preterist views depends on who you look at for interpretation of prophecy in scripture. Personally, I prefer to look at all of them because I am not set on only one meaning for each scripture being the norm. Rather, I look at scripture having multiple meanings depending on where you are in your spiritual journey and whether or not they are speaking directly to you or a specific occurrence or event. I view the items given by the Lord in His vision to John on the Isle of Patmos to have multiple meanings just as the August 2017 Revelation 12 sign in the heavens has multiple meanings depending on what you are trying to learn. That vision speaks of the war in heaven which occurred before the Earth was formed, and it also concerns the literal birth of Christ two thousand years ago. It also represents something new that has or is occurring, and that seems to be the birth of the Kingdom of our Christ in preparation for His second coming which must be very near as we view time. How you see that kingdom depends on what and who you listen to or get out of scripture reading, but eventually all will be made clear.
Using my analogy of a scroll with seven seals we can see that the first seal includes not only the first thousand years, but continues throughout history. This same idea goes for the second seal and so on. This means that it has already been opened and that it will also be opened again in the future and the same with the others. The first four seals involve the four horsemen of the apocalypse and war. The history we already know and many report that war and the effects of war is what the seals represent as well as future events as the preparation for the return of our King is my take on it. The fifth seal represents the persecutions of the saints all through two millennia of history as well as the coming most severe persecutions and shows that the historical opening is still in effect and that the next opening will occur very shortly if it hasn‘t already been opened as that persecution is at an alarming rate and increasing rapidly as the war on Christians escalates.
One very interesting idea that I ran across I would like to share is that the fifth seal represents the years from the birth of our Lord until about a thousand years ago. In that time period the birth of the satanic powers of Ba’al, more commonly and currently known as Allah occurred and the colors of those four horsemen represent just that. Let me explain if I may. The four are White representing war and also the anti-Christ, the second is the Red horse representing death and the lack of peace, the third is the Black horse that represents famine and the measures of the scale of justice while the fourth is the “Pale” horse and its rider represents death and Hades and delivers the evils of all of the horses and their riders. This is where it begins to get very interesting to me.
That fourth horse is called the pale one, and the word in the bible is “chlooros” which means a pale green color. It is the basis of the world Chlorophyll which is the green element in plant life. Therefore we have the colors White, Red, Black and Green first occurring in the first four millennia and resulting in the massive persecution of the Saints beginning in the fifth thousand years when Islam was invented.
As the above photo shows, the various flags of Islam involve those four colors of White, Black, Red and Green. Of course there are many variations, but they are primarily of those four colors. Often referred to as the Pan Arab colors, one theory of the history of the goes like this; “from a 14th-century verse by Iraqi poet Safi al-Din al-Hilli, which reads: “White are our acts, black our battles, green our fields, and red our swords.” They are not just pan-Arab but also the Islamic colors. Mohammed is represented by the green and the red the Ottoman Empire while various nations imbue the others with various meanings. But they do match the four Horsemen riding the Four Horses of the Apocalypse and will be the major force used against both Christ and Israel as given in so many revelations such as found in Daniel, in Isaiah, in Mathew, in Revelation and more.
Consider those nations that are involved with the final wars against Israel before Jesus descends to the Mount of Olives and end the war against His people. While not taking the time nor space to go into all of them and acknowledging that all the nations of the earth may be involved, those primary nations mentioned are all of the Islamic nations. Form Turkey, into southern Russia, from Iran (Persia) and the Arab nations, and Syria, Iraq, and those northern African nations – they are ALL MUZLIM in makeup.
Lets now turn to the idea that those numbers of Daniel speaking of 1260 days, 1290 days, week of days and half weeks, Time, Times and Half a Time meaning time intervals of 7 years and of 3 and a half year segments are still to be lived. In those seven year sections, the first half’s are usually livable while the worst parts are in the second half of them, the final three and a half years. The week or seven year period existing between the two solar eclipses as given in the beginning of this column are not that which is listed in the bible, at least not as far as I am able to figure things out. But they do begin right at the ending of this current period and that makes them begin in the year of 2024. I also see them not as self standing but they overlap from beginning of one to the middle which starts the next period. Using this logic it appears that we have some time before the final battles begin, but in the meantime there will be massive destructions that will result in the elimination of massive numbers of people and the destructions of much of this planet. Again, using this model it appears that the end will be perhaps in about a decade plus or so, but then consider how badly those who try to estimate things have been so far horn-straggled and mystified so do not take my guesses as fact, but do our own research. There is one thing clear to me and that is the movements of Muzlim masses to invade all over Europe and into the US is not just happenstance but is a pre planned and well executed invasion of satanic forces to deliver us up for destruction as described in the Bible by Gods Prophets.
I still maintain the USA will cease to exist as we know it so expect very shortly to see some kind of massive upset whether by war against this nation and/or internal strife which may be linked to the massive invasion of foreign troops in the guise of helpless military aged men amounting into the millions of them. Illegal and imported Voters in the coming elections for the evil leftists of the New World Order as represented by the party of jackasses and rhinoceroses and as warriors to begin the cleansing of the population en-mass to finish off the Deagle reports numbers. Most likely all those things at once so do not be surprised as it unfolds.
One more note about the ending of this story is in Isaiah 9:18 and 19;
“For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.”
“Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.”
and Isaiah 14:31;
“Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.”
If that does not sound like a nuclear annihilation I do not know what would. Not quite yet, but very soon.
Happy New Year folks and God Bless.
Signs in the Heavens, 23rd September 2017 - harbinger to tribulation?
(Note: I do not agree with some assumptions and dates, but the ideas are what is important. I suspect the situation in -1 BC is the target idea as it also aligns with my theory that Christ’s birth must have been in the spring. Chiasmously, the King planet visiting the King star three times in seven months would make early April in -1 BC the center happening if the Bibles Chiasmus is followed tightly. Also note that the Bible says NOTHING of how many wise men there were, only that there were three types of gifts and the story that there were three wise men is just a myth; and it is my contention that God had those gifts delivered to hold the young family over during the time they were in Egypt.)

WHY ARE U.S. CAPITOL POLICE QUIETLY OPENING SATELLITE OFFICES AROUND THE COUNTRY?
Five USCP satellite offices have recently opened up around the country.
Breanna Morello Dec 23, 2023
After January 6, 2021, United States Capitol Police opened 2 satellite offices outside of Washington D.C.. One of those offices was opened in former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s area and another was opened in Tampa, Florida.
Although Congressman Matt Gaetz and former Florida Representative Anthony Sabatini attempted to block the Tampa office from opening, it opened anyway. In the months that followed its opening, dozens of Floridians were targeted by the Department of Justice and FBI. Many of those individuals were accused of nonviolent crimes. They had their homes illegally raided by the FBI.
USCP claims they’re opening these offices because the threats against members of Congress have increased throughout the years. I personally reached out to USCP and asked them to supply me with the supporting data regarding these so-called threats and they refused to do so.
Earlier this year, USCP announced their plans to open three more satellite offices. These offices are opening/opened in Texas, Milwaukee and Boston. USCP says they opened these satellite offices “due to the increased threat environment.” Again, they make these claims without showing any supporting evidence.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
When a member of Congress or their staff are threatened, USCP gather all the information and evidence. Those details are then provided to the FBI. The FBI makes the arrests. So if the FBI is the agency responding to these threats, why would USCP need to open offices? Is the FBI so overwhelmed with work that they need additional assistance nearby? Well I asked the three Florida FBI field offices about that and this is what the Tampa field office told me:
Earlier this week, I spoke with FBI whistleblower and fellow for the Center for Renewing America Steve Friend. This is what Friend told me about these offices.
Why would the USCP be operating outside of Washington D.C.? GREAT QUESTION—so glad you asked. USCP does not have to comply with FOIA requests. Meaning, I cannot request internal emails, memos and information regarding their work or spending. They operate without transparency. So if the USCP were doing other investigations—I wouldn’t be able to submit a FOIA request to obtain more information.
Ultimately this issue falls at the hands of the Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi started it, and Kevin McCarthy allowed it to continue.
So, will the constitutional attorney and newly-elected Speaker put an end to this? Well, I’ve called and emailed multiple members of Speaker Mike Johnson’s team—they haven’t responded. One person did forward my email to another staffer, but they failed to give me a direct answer on the matter.
So will Speaker Mike Johnson do what’s right and shut this down? I hope so. After the holiday, we will begin to launch a call-to-action. This will involve respectfully contacting the Speaker’s office and asking them to put an end to this. Make sure you subscribe to my podcast to stay up-to-date on this story.

Putin names Russia’s real enemies
Ukraine itself is not a foe, but Western elites backing it are, the Russian president has said
Ukraine is a mere tool in the hands of the collective West which is using it to fight Russia, President Vladimir Putin said on Monday. He was speaking at a military hospital in Moscow where he met servicemen wounded during the ongoing conflict.
Asked about the enduring Western support for Kiev, the president said the elites of the collective West were actually the true enemy of Russia, rather than Ukraine itself.
“The point is not that they are helping our enemy, but that they are our enemy. They are solving their own problems with [Ukraine’s] hands, that’s what it’s all about,” Putin stated.
The conflict between Moscow and Kiev was orchestrated by Western elites, who seek to defeat Russia, he suggested. However, the collective West has been unable to achieve its goals, with the failure already showing in the change of its rhetoric on the conflict, the president explained.
Those who only yesterday were talking about the need to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia are now looking for words on how to quickly end the conflict.
“We want to end the conflict too, and as quickly as possible, but only on our terms. We have no desire to fight forever, but we are not going to give up our positions either,” Putin said.
The battlefield situation is now changing, despite all the aid Kiev has received from the West, the president observed. Russia has been effectively outproducing the entire Western alliance militarily, he suggested, with the country’s output destined to grow even further.
“Despite the fact that from time immemorial [the West] has had such a goal – to deal with Russia, it looks like we will deal with them first,” Putin stated.
“You probably see it on the battlefield that they are gradually ‘deflating’. When a shell flies, it is probably difficult to tell whether they are ‘deflated’ or not, but in general you probably know: the situation on the battlefield is changing. And this is happening despite the fact that the entire so-called civilized West is fighting against us,” he told the servicemen.
According to Russia’s latest estimates, over 380,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded during the conflict. Ukraine has also sustained heavy materiel losses, with an estimated 14,000 tanks and other armored vehicles destroyed. Nearly 160,000 troop losses were during Kiev’s botched counteroffensive, launched in early June last year, Moscow claims.

Churches Across Canada Destroyed by Arson over Christmas
Hunter Fielding December 29, 2023
Christian churches have become a major target of arson attacks in Canada, with several being completely destroyed by fires over Christmas.
Just before Christmas Eve, the fourth church in Alberta to be targeted over the holidays was burned to the ground by arsonists.
The RCMP received a call of a fire at 6:24 a.m. at the Beiseker Church located on Range Road 242 in Wheatland County, as per local reports.
The Deputy Fire Chief of the local Fire Department, Darcy Burke, said the building was fully engulfed by the time his crew arrived.
“It’s a very tight-knit community, and they were very impacted by losing their church. It’s the center of their community,” he said.
The RCMP are now investigating and are seeking public assistance in locating the perpetrator (s).
Parishioners and villagers heartbroken over church burning
Pastor Rod Davis said that he and his congregation were devastated by the loss of the church, but were thankful for the support and communication from those expressing their sympathies.
Davis continued to say that the church “lost a lot of stuff in that fire, some of it not replaceable at all,” adding that he is determined to somehow continue services in the coming weeks.
Many on social media mourned the destruction of the 1945-built church, with one post on Facebook saying, “What looks to most people to be an ordinary church has no idea what it means to have grown up here.”
The post continued, “It wasn’t just a church, it was a place people gathered to say goodbye to loved ones, a place to get married, a place many children were dedicated, a place were my cousins and I would play hide and go seek, a place my grandma would tickle my hands, a place full of singing, it was a family.”
Alberta’s fourth church burned to the ground in weeks
This comes after two churches near the town of Barrhead were burned within one hour of each other on December 7.
The burning of St. Aidan’s church and The Pioneer Memorial Church were both results of arson according to Gary Hove, the Barrhead Regional Fire Services chief.
The third church that was burned was located on a Native reserve in Janvier Alberta, in which St. Gabriel Catholic Church was razed to the ground.

Councilor Shane Janvier of the Chipewyan Prairie Dene First Nation said the fire was a result of arson.
“Enough is enough,” Janvier said standing in front of the church’s smoldering remains the morning after the blaze.
The Beiseker Level-Land Seventh-Day Adventist Church was originally called the Rosebud Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was founded in 1908 by pioneering settlers who came from various parts of the Dakotas.
The first service was originally conducted in a tent but was eventually moved to a building.

US intelligence officials determined the Chinese spy balloon used a US internet provider to communicate
Intelligence officials have revealed that a Chinese spy balloon that flew across the US reportedly used an American internet service provider to communicate
A new report stated that the balloon was connected to a US-based company and communicating with China about its navigation
The unidentified internet service provider company has denied all such claims
By Ishita Srivastava For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:49 EST, 29 December 2023 | Updated: 03:25 EST, 29 December 2023
Intelligence officials have revealed a Chinese spy balloon that flew across the US for a week in February used an American internet service provider to communicate.
The balloon had drifted east and entered US airspace over Alaska on 28 January and was tracked as it flew over Malmstrom Air Force base in Montana, where nuclear assets are stored.
On 4 February, the Air Force sent an F-22 fighter jet armed with an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile to take the balloon down over water.
In a new report from NBC, the outlet cited two current and one former U.S. official familiar with the report as its source.
The report stated that the balloon was connected to a US-based company and communicating with China about its navigation.
It further stated that the connection 'allowed the balloon to send burst transmissions or high-bandwidth collections of data over short periods of time' to its home base in China.
The channel has not released the name of the company.
Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said it was a weather balloon that accidentally drifted into American airspace.
They told NBC in a statement: 'As we had made it clear before, the airship, used for meteorological research, unintentionally drifted into US because of the westerlies and its limited self-steering capability. The facts are clear.'
The unidentified internet service provider company has denied all such claims.
This comes days after it was revealed that officials in the Biden administration had planned to keep the Chinese spy balloon secret, with a top Air Force commander admitting the balloon exposed gaps in their intelligence gathering.
A source told NBC: 'Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it.'
Biden's administration has been adamant that the balloon Beijing previously denied was a government vessel did not collect and transmit data.
A senior Biden administration official denied that there was an attempt to keep the balloon secret to the outlet.
They said: 'To the extent any of this was kept quiet at all, that was in large part to protect intel equities related to finding and tracking. There was no intention to keep this from Congress at any point.'
NBC also revealed that during a phone call on January 27, General Mark Milley and NORAD Chief Gen. Glen VanHerck said the Pentagon planned to send up 5-22 jets to gauge its characteristics.
Soon after that call, jets used targeting pods to determine that the object was indeed a balloon that was roughly the size of three school buses and equipped with a surveillance payload.
President Biden was not briefed on the balloon until February 1, with the public later hearing about it after NBC broke the story.
VanHerck has since said that the balloon exposed gaps in the intelligence agencies and warned the Chinese balloon program remains ongoing.

CRIMINAL IMPACT ‘Stores will close,’ Walmart’s CEO confirms after retail bloodbath in 2023 saw major retailers shut up 3,000 locations
Some retail giants have cited theft as a top reason for closures
Jacob Willeford Published: 11:27 ET, Dec 27 2023Updated: 8:37 ET, Dec 28 2023
WALMART CEO Doug McMillon has predicted a retail bloodbath this year that saw several companies close nearly 3,000 locations.
In December 2022, McMillon noted that theft rates at Walmart alone were "higher than what it has historically been" and called it a significant "issue" facing the industry.
"Prices will be higher and/or stores will close," warned the CEO in an interview with CNBC Squawk Box.
As 2023 comes to a close, McMillon's comments seem to have served as an ominous foreshadowing, as several retail giants, including Walmart, implemented drastic anti-theft measures, receipt checks, and even operations with local law enforcement to stop shoplifting.
Specifically, McMillon's prediction that "stores will close" came to fruition, whether directly attributed to crime rates or not.
Walmart laid out plans to close at least 24 stores in 2023.
Eight of the closures were in Illinois, two in Oregon, and two more in Georgia, per Daily Mail.
The remaining stores were scattered across 12 states, with one closure each in Florida, Washington, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas, Wisconsin, Virginia, Arkansas, and Hawaii.
Walmart is one of 19 other retailers that closed a combined 2,847 locations as of Christmas, according to data collected by Business Insider.
Bed Bath & Beyond, Party City, and Rite Aid also filed for bankruptcy, citing multiple reasons, including financial struggles.
Target notably announced the closure of at least nine locations at the end of September, with specific attribution to rampant retail theft rates.
"We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance," Target said in a statement on its website about the closures.
Target has brought heavy measures to combat theft in stores, including locking most merchandise behind glass and having select locations start age-restricted entry.
Even so, Target's claim of retail theft as the sole reason behind its recent closures has come into question by some experts, as The U.S. Sun previously reported.
Crime statistics and 911 call data where the closures took place over a nearly three-year period from January 2021 to September 2023 were collected in a study by CNBC.
According to the data, crime was reported as higher at eight of the nine Target stores left open in the areas near the several that were closed.
Only a Pittsburg, California, location saw more crime and saw police called more times, per the study.
The outlet claimed that Target most likely kept the other stores running because they were located in busier areas, despite higher crime rates.
Mark Cohen, a professor and director of retail studies at Columbia Business School, claimed the theft rate claim in Target's announcement could have been a way to hide that the company's sales had dropped.
“I don’t want to use the word ‘stunt,’ because I don’t know exactly what went on in Minneapolis [where Target is based], but to me, it read like a stunt, looking to divert attention from the company’s lack of performance overall,” Cohen told CNBC.
Target spokesperson, Jim Joice, countered that position.
"The recently announced store closures related to safety, retail theft, and unsustainable business performance represent less than 0.5% of our U.S. footprint, with 1,956 stores currently operating and serving our guests,” Joice said in a statement to the outlet.
“Store-level incidents vary widely in severity, and police data won’t show the full extent of what our teams experience on the ground."
Target declined to share internal crime rates, which were not counted in the data from the study.
Whether the data proves accurate or not with Target, it's clear that they and their competitors like Walmart, Costco, and Sam's Club have had to ramp up anti-theft measures in a big way.
Costco and Sam's Club notably added an ID check to confirm that membership cards weren't being passed around.
Walmart mirrored Target with some stores locking items behind glass, and both began implementing receipt checks along with Costco and Sam's Club.
Body cameras, automatic brakes on shopping carts, and other measures were also introduced.
Self-checkouts at Kroger were also outfitted with artificial intelligence security cameras and fully removed at some retailers to nullify theft.
Retail crime resulted in over $112 billion in losses last year, up from $93.9 billion in 2021, per data from the National Retail Federation.
The future of retail remains unclear as fears of a recession are on the rise with closures and theft rates.

Critical Drug Shortages Plague US Amid Unabated Reliance on China
Health care providers and patients struggle to find critical medications as U.S. officials grapple with solutions.
By Autumn Spredemann Dec 28, 2023 Updated: Dec 28, 2023
The ongoing scarcity of critical medications has trapped Americans between a rock and a hard place.
Active national drug shortages hit a 10-year high this year, leaving many health care providers, pharmacies, and hospitals without enough life-saving and supportive medications, according to data collected by the University of Utah Drug Information Service.
A survey by the same university in July found that 99 percent of the 1,123 pharmacists who responded—many of whom work in hospitals—reported shortages. One-third of the pharmacists listed the shortages as "critically impactful," which is defined as being forced to ration medication or delay or even cancel medical treatments.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists 124 medications in short supply as of Dec. 21; the list topped out at 309 earlier this year.
The shortage applies to multiple categories, including antibiotics—both amoxicillin and azithromycin are on the list—and staple analgesics such as ketamine, as well as nitroglycerin injections, a vital tool in helping to control congestive heart failure in heart attack patients.
Securing medication is also a challenge for those managing chronic illnesses.
Jennifer, a Waterford, Michigan, resident who asked that her last name not be disclosed, told The Epoch Times that she was only recently able to start taking her Type 2 diabetes medication again after being stranded without it for the second time since July 2022.
She started taking Ozempic again on Dec. 10, after being unable to fill her prescription for weeks.
Ozempic is one of the many drugs affected by current shortages; that's reportedly due, in part, to Ozempic's off-label use as a weight-loss supplement. The manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, lists the official reason for the shortage as "increased demand."
"The pharmacist told me it’s on back order and, 'You need to call around to see if other stores or pharmacies have it in stock.' And I’m like, no, that’s your job," Jennifer said.
She was noticeably frustrated—there are physical consequences of having gaps in her medication. In addition to managing her A1C levels, the drug comes with unpleasant side effects for some patients, which take time to wear off.
One of these is extreme lightheadedness, which Jennifer has encountered each time she's restarted taking Ozempic after enduring a usage gap. She said she gets dizzy to the point of feeling like she's about to "pass out" after resuming the medication.
"I haven’t taken it for weeks, and now I’m having a reaction [side effects] since it’s all been flushed out of my system," she said.
Unpleasant side effects aside, Jennifer says she feels like she doesn't have a choice other than to ride out the medication gaps when they happen, because the drug has helped manage her diabetes so well.
But medication scarcity isn't a new problem. U.S. drug shortages have plagued Americans for nearly 20 years.
A 2011 study observed that increasingly frequent drug shortages had been a problem during the past decade. They were attributed to the same hurdles the industry faces today: Challenges in acquiring raw materials, manufacturing and regulatory problems, and supply chain disturbances.
There's also the heavy reliance on other countries to manufacture pharmaceuticals, which some U.S. lawmakers say leaves the country too dependent on foreign drug manufacturing.
"Currently, about 90 percent of drugs dispensed at U.S. pharmacies are generic drugs that overwhelmingly come from communist China and India," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said in a September statement upon introducing his American Drugs Act, which would create "a strong incentive for companies to invest in domestic pharmaceutical production."
"Americans can’t trust communist China and can’t allow any reliance on Xi’s evil regime for life-saving medicine," Mr. Scott said.
Currently, the United States leans heavily on other countries to manufacture key starting materials (KSM) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), which are the critical building blocks of pharmaceuticals.
As of 2021, China became the world's leading supplier of both KSMs and APIs, according to a report issued by the European Parliament.
In March, a U.S. congressional strategic preparedness committee noted that up to 95 percent of generic sterile injectable drugs used for critical acute care in the United States rely on KSMs from China and India.
Reliance on foreign production of U.S. pharmaceuticals is an issue that former President Donald Trump identified and attempted to address during his term. Alongside the America First Healthcare Plan, President Trump's $354 million deal in 2020 with U.S.-based Phlow Corp. was an effort to increase domestic manufacturing of generic drugs and APIs.
More than three years later, in September, Phlow said it was manufacturing APIs for the "federal government, to be stored in the nation’s first reserve of APIs."
"This will ensure the resiliency and availability of critical medicines in times of geopolitical crises, trade disputes, natural disasters, or future public health emergencies," Eric Edwards, CEO and co-founder of Phlow, said in a statement.
He said the company is also making KSMs and "rebuilding a resilient domestic supply chain."
The Biden administration has also responded to the widespread outcry over drug shortages, prompting a November White House announcement that the Defense Production Act (DPA) will be used to encourage investment in the domestic manufacturing of "essential medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs that have been deemed by the president as essential to the national defense."
image-5553658
The DPA grants a sitting president extensive authority to manage vital economic resources, including the power to expand domestic production.
Plans to achieve this include expanding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Title III of the DPA. Some of these changes include $35 million for investments in domestic production of KSMs for sterile injectable medications. Additionally, the HHS will designate a new supply chain resilience and shortage coordinator in an attempt to address medication and other supply chain shortages.
But those who work in the trenches of health care say these efforts are a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed and that barriers to increased U.S. drug manufacturing won't be easy to overcome at either a legislative or a logistical level.
Dr. Jared Ross, the president of Emergency Medical Services, Education & Consulting LLC, and a medical director at the Henry Ford College paramedic program, says foreign API production isn’t the root of the problem.
"The larger issue is with key starting materials, which are used to make the APIs," he told The Epoch Times.
"We need to bring KSM manufacturing back to the United States."
In his work, he sees the effects of drug shortages up close and personal.
"The hospital where I do most of my clinical work has experienced several shortages. We are conserving injectable penicillin to treat syphilis, which means we have to use oral medications for strep throat, which are less effective and harder to administer to young children," he said.
Dr. Ross rattled off a list of adaptations he's seen as part of the fallout of America's drug shortages in hospitals. He noted that high concentrations of ketamine are in short supply, limiting the ability to give it as an "intramuscular injection, forcing us to start unnecessary and painful IVs or use alternative medications that aren’t as safe."
He said that certain IV benzodiazepine medications such as lorazepam and midazolam are scarce, forcing health care professionals to use diazepam, also known as valium, to treat seizures.
It's a scenario Dr. Ross describes as "less than ideal."
He said bringing KSM manufacturing to the United States is logistically complicated and cost-prohibitive. He maintains that the current cost factor is "insurmountable" due to regulatory compliance, especially in the environmental sector.
"We need less government regulation and more free-market solutions," he said, noting that throwing a few hundred million dollars at the problem by any administration isn't a real solution and that America needs to "cut out the red tape."
Dr. Ross said the issue of drug shortages is often viewed through the lens of "essential medication production," but he believes it's a symptom of a larger decline in U.S. manufacturing, which he asserts hasn't been able to stay as competitive amid "burdensome" regulations.
"We will have to accept increased labor costs. But there is a lot that we, our government, can do to decrease compliance costs," he said.
Practicing clinician Chris McDermott, founder of Intercoastal Consulting & Life Care Planning, told The Epoch Times that drug manufacturers dragging their heels on domestic production doesn't help the situation.
"In my professional journey, it's become apparent that the reluctance of drug manufacturers to shift production domestically is not solely due to legislation. An often overlooked aspect is the complexity of retooling existing facilities," Mr. McDermott said.
He noted that "significant investment and time" will be required to ramp up manufacturing within the United States and could disrupt current production models for some manufacturers.
"Patient stories are both a source of inspiration and a stark reminder of the tangible consequences of medication shortages," Mr. McDermott said. He said he has encountered "numerous cases where patients have faced dire consequences due to the unavailability of essential medications."
"These instances highlight the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address and prevent drug shortages, placing patient well-being at the forefront," he said.
Dr. Kelvin Fernandez, a tutor and medical residency advisor at Ace Med Boards, agrees with this assessment.
"Both legislative aspects and reluctant drug manufacturers play important roles in the lack of progress," he told The Epoch Times.
"Navigating bureaucracies can be arduous, and companies might hesitate due to increased costs associated with domestic manufacturing."

One Step Away From the Biggest Oil Shock in History
by Nick Giambruno
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow strip of water that links the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world.
It’s the world’s single-most important energy corridor, and there’s no alternative route.
Five of the world’s top 10 oil-producing countries—Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait—border the Persian Gulf, as does Qatar, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. The Strait of Hormuz is their only sea route to the open ocean… and world markets.
At its narrowest point, the space available for shipping lanes is just 3.2 kilometers wide.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, more than 40% of global oil exports (around 21 million barrels) transit the Strait daily.
That’s more than $1.5 billion worth of oil every day.
And that’s not considering the immense amount of LNG— about 33% of the world’s daily LNG exports—and other goods transiting the Strait.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Strait of Hormuz to the global economy.
If someone were to disrupt the Strait, it would cause immediate global economic chaos as energy prices skyrocket.
Thanks to its commanding geography and expertise in unconventional and asymmetric warfare, Iran can shut down the Strait, and there’s not much anyone can do about it.
It’s Iran’s geopolitical trump card.
Analysts believe it would take weeks for the US military to reopen it, but nobody really knows if it would ultimately be successful. The Millennium Challenge 2002 war game suggests it wouldn’t be.
Military strategists have known about this situation for decades. But no one has found a realistic way to neutralize Iran’s power over the Strait.
Iran has been crystal clear that it will close the Strait in the case Israel or the US attacks it.
In other words, Iran holds a knife to the throat of the global economy.
The US has sought to overthrow the Iranian government since the 1979 Revolution—for over 40 years. Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz has always served as a big deterrent to US regime change ambitions and invasion plans.
Now, Iran and the US are headed toward a confrontation that will almost certainly disrupt the Strait.
The potential outbreak of an enormous regional war in the Middle East, with the prospect of the destruction of Israel and the collapse of the petrodollar system, could force the US to act against Iran this time.
If war breaks out between the US and Iran—an increasingly likely outcome—I have no doubt that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz.
To call that a severe oil supply disruption would be a major understatement.
Consider this…
During the first oil shock in 1973, about 5 million barrels were removed from the global oil market. Daily global oil production was approximately 56 million barrels per day at the time, which means about 9% of the supply vanished.
Oil prices roughly quadrupled.
During the second oil shock in 1979, about 4 million barrels were removed from the global oil market. Daily global oil production was approximately 67 million barrels per day at the time, which means about 6% of the supply vanished.
Oil prices nearly tripled.
During the third oil shock in 1990, about 4.3 million barrels were removed from the global oil market. Daily global oil production was approximately 66 million barrels per day at the time, which means about 7% of the supply vanished.
Oil prices more than doubled.
If Iran were to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, it would remove a whopping 21 million barrels of oil from the global market. Today, global oil production is approximately 94 million barrels per day, which means about 22% of the worldwide oil supply could disappear.
As we can see in the chart below, it would be the largest oil supply shock the world has ever seen… by far.
If war with Iran proceeds and Tehran closes the Strait of Hormuz, I think the effect on the price of oil will be at least as severe as it was during the 1973 oil shock, which saw oil prices go up 4x.
A similar move today could see oil prices above $300 a barrel.
However, I consider that a conservative estimate because closing the Strait of Hormuz would cause a much larger supply shock than the 1973 OPEC oil embargo.
I think the market doesn’t appreciate how close we are to a war with Iran and the implications of it.
The oil price has barely moved despite the imminent danger to supplies.
We haven’t returned to pre-2014 levels yet, let alone the 2008 peak of over $140 per barrel.
But this anomaly in the oil market is a blessing because it’s handing us a golden opportunity with oil stocks.
I’m certainly not cheering for war. I despise war, which is the health of the State.
Regardless, a big war is highly likely, with significant investment implications that would be foolish to ignore.
That’s precisely why I just released an urgent new report with all the details, including what you must do to prepare.
It’s called The Most Dangerous Economic Crisis in 100 Years… the Top 3 Strategies You Need Right Now.

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready. For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later. But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again. It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment. Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding. Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there. You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are. For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them. Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

Democratic Mayors Of New York, Chicago, Denver Plead For Help As Migrant Storm Worsens
December 28, 2023 Via ZeroHedge
The Democratic mayors of three sanctuary cities, Chicago, New York City, and Denver, warned their metro areas are quickly approaching a breaking point due to the ongoing surge of illegals bussed up from the southern border this year.
“We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night,” NYC Mayor Adams said during a virtual news conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
Adams warned: “For many months, we were able to keep the visualization of this crisis from hitting our streets, but we have reached a breaking point.”
“We are no longer able to do that because of the volume and numbers,” he added.
In an executive order, Adams has now requested all charter bus companies to provide a 32-hour advance notice on the arrival of migrants.
According to Adams’ office, more than 7,000 illegals have entered the intake system in the last two weeks. The city estimates 157,600 illegals have arrived since late spring.
In Chicago, another progressive metro area that once welcomed illegals with open arms, Mayor Johnson warned, “We have reached a critical point in this mission that absent real, significant intervention immediately, our local economies are not designed and built to respond to this type of crisis,” adding “We are literally building a system as we go along.”
