These are the Walmart stores closing in the U.S. in December 2024

After a round of closures earlier in the year, more Walmart stores are closing this month

Written by Gerrish Lopez  Time Out Contributor

Monday December 9 2024

As Walmart grapples with shifting shopping trends and rising operational costs, it’s been trimming the fat by closing underperforming stores. As the year winds down, more Walmart locations are on the chopping block. Unlike the company-wide Thanksgiving pause, these closures are permanent. Here's what you need to know about the latest Walmart store closings.

Why is Walmart closing more stores in December?

Earlier this year, Walmart shut down 23 stores in 12 states. Places like Chicago, Portland and San Diego took a hit as the company tightened its belt. A mix of financial underperformance, rising operational costs and challenging lease renewals. Other closures throughout the year hit locations where foot traffic and profits had dwindled. The rise of online shopping has reshaped the retail landscape, and many Walmart locations were feeling the squeeze.

Which Walmart locations are closing?

This December, 11 more stores will be shuttered. California is bearing the brunt of it with five store closures, including San Diego, El Cajon, and West Covina. These are the locations that will be closing before the end of the year:

2121 Imperial Ave., San Diego, CA

605 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon, CA

2753 E. Eastland Center Dr., West Covina, CA

4080 Douglas Blvd., Granite Bay, CA

40580 Albrae St., Fremont, CA

3579 S. High St., Columbus, OH

10400 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora, CO

7025 W. Main St., Milwaukee, WI

4725 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Dunwoody, GA

3101 Roswell Rd., Marietta, GA

1238 Putty Hill Ave., Towson, MD

Other major closures for 2024

Chain stores and restaurants around the country have been closing in this particularly challenging year for the industries. A combination of factors has led to the closing of locations of Walgreens, Red Lobster, Pizza Hut, TGIFridays and 7 Elevens in the U.S.

Demand At Food Banks Has Soared To Record Levels All Over The United States

December 16, 2024 by Michael

Why is demand at food banks all over the country higher than it has ever been before? The media keeps insisting that economic conditions are just fine, but it has become quite obvious to everyone that this is not true. In particular, the rising cost of living has been absolutely crushing households from coast to coast. In the old days, most of the people that would show up at food banks were unemployed. But now food banks are serving large numbers of people that actually do have jobs but that don’t make enough to pay for all of the basics. The ranks of the “working poor” are growing very rapidly, and this is creating an unprecedented crisis all over America.

Perhaps you think that I am exaggerating.

Let me share some specific examples that will prove that I am not.

In Pennsylvania, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank saw “its highest need on record this past year”…

A new report shows the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank saw its highest need on record this past year. It comes as we mark Hunger Action Month across the country.

Toi Payne of Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood gets emotional thinking about how the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Duquesne and other local pantries have been lifesavers for her for the past 30 years.

“We need these places,” Payne said. “Without the food banks, I think a lot of people would be struggling even more, you know, and it helps like the elderly and people like me that’s on disability.”

We are also seeing record demand in Montana…

North Valley Food Bank in Whitefish served 613 families a Thanksgiving meal – a record high.

They anticipate more than 1,000 food bank customers for their Christmas holiday distribution on December 18-19.

“Year round here we’re feeding over a 1,000 of our neighbors every week and the need goes up during the holiday season,” said North Valley Food Bank Director of Development Mandy Gerth.

And in the San Francisco area…

This holiday season, food banks say they’re facing greater need than ever before. In Silicon Valley, they say 1 in 6 people are coming in for food assistance. In San Francisco, that number is 1 in 5. But the organizations say donations are not keeping up with demand.

For all the food banks, December is a big month. Both in terms of need, and in terms of fundraising. And they say what happens now will impact the entire year ahead.

In some parts of the nation, food banks are absolutely shattering all of the old records.

At one location in New Jersey, demand has actually “quadrupled” since the peak of the pandemic…

Food banks across the Garden State are struggling to keep up with rising demand that may soon outpace donations.

At the Salvation Army’s Kroc Community Center in Camden, requests for services have quadrupled since the height of the pandemic, according to a spokesperson.

They keep telling us that everything is fine.

They keep telling us that there is no reason to be concerned.

But in some areas of the country demand at food banks is now four times higher than it was during the worst moments of the pandemic.

Wake up.

They aren’t telling you the truth.

In St. Louis, some people actually had to wait in line for eight hours just to receive a free Thanksgiving meal…

That high demand is felt all over the state. In St. Louis, people waited eight hours to get a free Thanksgiving meal from the Urban League.

This isn’t normal.

Poverty is rapidly growing all around us.

When will our leaders finally admit the truth?

In the state of Washington, approximately one-fourth of the entire population is now experiencing food insecurity…

The rising cost of living, particularly in housing and groceries, is pushing more families in Washington state to seek assistance from food banks.

According to Robert Ojeda of Food Lifeline, the largest hunger relief organization in the state, food insecurity affects about 25% of Washingtonians, meaning one in four residents is struggling to access enough food.

Ojeda said, “The percentage of food insecurity in Washington state is about 25%, so 1 in 4 Washingtonians are experiencing food insecurity.”

And the largest network of food banks in the state of Washington is reporting that overall demand has nearly doubled since the pandemic began…

Before the pandemic, Food Lifeline served about 800,000 people annually.

During the pandemic, that number rose to 1.1 million and has continued increasing, reaching 1.5 million in 2023 and 1.7 million in 2024, Coleman said.

Hunger in America is getting progressively worse.

Poverty in America is getting progressively worse.

Economic pain in America is getting progressively worse.

Meanwhile, the party on Wall Street never seems to end, and young bankers are “snorting lines of Adderall at their desks”…

Young Wall Street bankers working 90 hours a week are snorting lines of Adderall at their desks in a new office drug culture.

While cocaine was once the drug of choice, bankers are now reportedly turning to the ADHD medication for work days that can last as long as 22 hours, along with nicotine patches and energy drinks.

One young banker that was interviewed openly admits that he uses Adderall to help him cope with 22 hour days…

Jonah Frey, a former investment banker for Wells Fargo in San Francisco, said one colleague would snort lines of crushed Adderall pills at his desk and that “nobody blinked an eye”.

Mr Frey told the Wall Street Journal he began taking the drug in 2020 because his colleagues told him it would help with the long hours, frequently pushing through from 4am until calls with the East Coast office at 2am the next day.

They are so busy making money on Wall Street that some workers hardly get any sleep at all.

But at the same time economic suffering is spreading like wildfire in communities all over the nation.

If our economic pain is this bad while the party on Wall Street is still raging, what is our country going to look like once the party on Wall Street finally ends?

West pushing Russia beyond ‘red line’ – Putin

The continued support for Ukraine is aimed at inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Moscow, the president has said

The West’s support for Ukraine is pushing Russia to the point where it cannot help but retaliate, President Vladimir Putin has said, while warning the US against deploying medium-range missiles.

Speaking at a meeting of top Russian Defense Ministry officials on Monday, Putin accused the US of seeking “to weaken our country and inflict a strategic defeat” on Moscow by continuing “to pump a de facto illegitimate ruling regime in Kiev with weapons and money, sending mercenaries and military advisers, thereby encouraging further escalation of the conflict.”

Washington is instilling fear in Americans by resorting to “simple tactics,” Putin stated. “They push us to the red line… we begin to respond, and then they frighten their population,” he added, suggesting that the US used the same approach during its rivalry with the Soviet Union.

The Russian president also slammed the West for what he described as attempts to impose its own rules on the rest of the world while waging “hybrid wars” against anyone who resists, including Russia.

In this vein, NATO is boosting its defense spending and forming “strike groups” near Russia’s borders, he added. “The number of American service members in Europe has already exceeded 100,000 troops,” he noted.

NATO is ramping up its presence not only in Europe but also in regions that have never seen this type of military footprint, particularly the Asia-Pacific, Putin said, voicing particular concerns over US plans to deploy missile systems with a range of up to 5,500km.

Putin was referring to a type of weapon previously banned by the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The US unilaterally pulled out of the treaty in 2018, citing Russian non-compliance – an allegation Moscow has denied.

The Russian president stressed that despite Washington’s withdrawal from the INF Treaty, Moscow made a unilateral and voluntary commitment not to deploy medium- and short-range missiles unless the US deploys such weapons anywhere in the world.

However, “if the United States begins to deploy such systems, then all our voluntary restrictions will be lifted,” Putin warned.

U.S. Air Force Confirms Drone Sightings Over Ramstein Air Base In Germany

As well as over the major U.S. military air base and logistics hub, drones have been reported around critical infrastructure in Germany.

Thomas Newdick Posted on Dec 13, 2024

Germany is the latest country to report mysterious drone activity over an air base on its territory, specifically the sprawling U.S. facility at Ramstein, alongside similar incidents over critical industrial sites. The developments follow previous suspicious drone flights reported over infrastructure in Germany and a spate of security incidents at other air bases in the country earlier this year. Since then, U.S. Air Force facilities in England have also reported multiple drone incursions, which so far remain unexplained, while the United States is now deep into a wave of drone hysteria after similar reports out of bases on the East Coast.

“Possible spy drones” have been noted “several times” flying over Ramstein Air Base, the main U.S. Air Force hub in Western Europe, according to a story published today by the Spiegel news magazine, citing a confidential report by German security authorities. Other similar incidents have been reported in the vicinity of the chemical company BASF, headquartered in Ludwigshafen, and the defense firm Rheinmetall. These companies are based in Rhineland-Palatinate, southwestern Germany — the same state in which Ramstein is located.

In the case of Ramstein, “numerous” drone sightings were reported in the evening hours of Dec. 3 and 4.

The Ramstein incidents have been confirmed by the U.S. military, with a spokeswoman for the base telling the Spiegel: “In early December, there were several sightings of small unmanned aerial systems in the area and over Ramstein Air Base, they had no impact on the residents of the base and on the facilities and military equipment there.” The spokeswoman confirmed that the base is now “in close coordination” with the German authorities regarding the incident.

As for Rheinmetall, this company has been at the forefront of German defense support for Ukraine since the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022. The firm describes itself as “Ukraine’s most important defense industry partner in the fight against Russian aggression.”

Among Ukraine-related projects the company is involved in are the manufacturing of artillery ammunition and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles, the training of Ukrainian specialists in the maintenance and repair of combat vehicles, as well as helping establish manufacturing and maintenance hubs in Ukraine.

Recent weeks have seen a string of reported drone incidents over U.S. Air Force bases in England as well as multiple sightings in the United States, notably over New Jersey. However, there have been reports of unexplained drone activity in Germany dating back to this summer.

In particular, there were reports from the north of Germany, including over an industrial park in Brunsbüttel, northwest of Hamburg, which is home to a major floating liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal.

At the time, prosecutors in Germany said they considered it likely the drone flights were related to “espionage activity for sabotage purposes” and also cited “repeated” drone flights over “critical infrastructure.”

Reports of drone flights over Brunsbüttel began on Aug. 8 and it’s been claimed that the craft have proven difficult to track due to their high speeds — reportedly around 60 miles per hour — and their approach from the sea.

The local public prosecutor’s office launched an investigation into the Brunsbüttel incidents, on suspicion of “agent activity for sabotage purposes.” The same topic was discussed by the German Interior Ministry, but they were unable to agree on a joint approach to countering the spy flights, according to the Spiegel.

Other unusual activity in Germany in recent months includes a security alert at Geilenkirchen Air Base in August, which you can read more about here. This was due to fears of a possible Russian drone attack, according to a German media report.

An unnamed source within German intelligence confirmed that the security scare at Geilenkirchen was caused by signs “of preparatory actions for a likely Russian act of sabotage” using a drone, the Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported today. The tip-off reportedly came from an undisclosed foreign intelligence service.

On the other hand, an unnamed security source told Reuters that no drones had been seen in the vicinity of Geilenkirchen and that they could not confirm any evidence of a Russian role.

“The word Russia was never mentioned. We talked about a threat caused by drones,” a NATO spokesperson at Geilenkirchen told Reuters.

The drone scare at Geilenkirchen followed a security alert the previous week, in response to reports of an attempted trespassing incident at the base. This came at the same time as fears of possible sabotage of the water supply at nearby Wahn Barracks. A full sweep was made of the premises at Geilenkirchen without finding any trespassers, while the Wahn Barracks incident proved to be a false alarm.

While there has been no evidence of Russia being behind these incidents in Germany, they have all led to speculation about possible Kremlin involvement.

This comes amid growing concerns of Russian-inspired aggression against Germany, including drones, but also involving various other ‘hybrid warfare’ tactics.

Meanwhile, however, there’s no doubt that Germany — and its military bases — have been directly targeted.

In April of this year, two German-Russian nationals were arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting sabotage attacks, including on U.S. military facilities in the country. One of those individuals was accused of making plans to carry out bomb and arson attacks on military facilities and had allegedly taken photos and videos of military transports and equipment.

The sabotage attacks appear to have been a direct response to the war in Ukraine, in which Germany has been a key backer of Kyiv, alongside the U.S. military in Germany, which uses bases there for transshipment as well as training Ukrainian soldiers there.

One of the targets of the sabotage attacks was the U.S. Army’s Grafenwoehr base in the southern state of Bavaria, where Ukrainian soldiers are trained to use U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks.

In the wake of these arrests, U.S. military bases across Europe — including in Germany — were placed on a heightened state of alert, “for the first time in a decade,” according to CNN. This move was said to be in response to intelligence concerns about possible sabotage attacks by Russian-backed actors.

For its part, NATO has issued explicit warnings about the risk of an expanding Kremlin-backed campaign of sabotage, including cyberattacks. Speaking in June, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg outlined what he said was evidence of “a surge of sabotage, cyberattacks, instrumentalized migration, and other hostile actions by Russia"

TWZ has previously examined exactly why a hybrid warfare campaign might be especially attractive for Russia. Above all, this kind of warfare can be waged at a relatively low cost and with reduced risk — at least to the Kremlin. Undertaken in Europe, it would very likely be intended to undermine support for Ukraine by creating disruption and sowing fear. Especially important is the fact that, as long as proxies are being used, such activities are very difficult to be directly traced back to the Kremlin.

Using relatively low-cost drones to cause disruption or even outright destruction of assets at air bases is by now a well-established tactic in conflict zones including the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. We have now seen how even short-range drones, launched from fairly close to an air base, can have a significant impact. NATO air bases in Germany (and the United Kingdom) are also very poorly defended against these kinds of threats and regulatory/legal issues stand in the way of using available active defenses in many circumstances.

As for the situation in the United States, recent reports of drone sightings highlight what is very much a credible national security issue, although the situation there has been clouded by patchy government messaging and frenzied responses both from social media accounts and much of the mainstream media.

With relations between Russia and the West still in a very precarious state and hybrid warfare very much in the ascendancy, air bases and other critical infrastructure in Europe could become the front lines of a new kind of war being fought in parallel to the conflict in Ukraine.

Startling image of mystery drone over US air base in UK revealed as bombshell report claims FBI has known about swarms over military sites for a year

By JOSH BOSWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and CHRIS SHARP FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 14:47 EST, 17 December 2024 | Updated: 14:55 EST, 17 December 2024

Unauthorized drones have been zipping across US military bases at speeds of up to 170mph, easily dodging radar and signal-jamming systems.

But contrary to the non-answers intelligence officials have been dishing out as New Jersey residents panic about ‘car-sized’ drones flying over their homes for the past month, the government has been aware of this threat for over a year, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Exclusively obtained images show one craft photographed by specialist military units over a US airbase in England last month. DailyMail.com also obtained excerpts from a joint US Air Force, NASA and FBI report on previous airbase incursions, and an account from a senior officer briefed on the incidents.

This news follows repeated widespread sightings of drones near military bases in New Jersey and other states over the past month.

And a public outcry over the swarms prompted a stunning admission from FBI chiefs to Congress - they don't know where these craft are coming from.

DailyMail.com obtained an internal government report showing federal agencies knew about incursions from apparent advanced drones over a year ago but have failed to put a stop to them.

Langley Air Force Base in Virginia was swarmed with dozens of drones for weeks in December 2023, creating a security panic. The incident was kept secret until it was revealed by defense magazine The Warzone in March this year.

A report authored by the Air Force, FBI and NASA – which has a facility next to Langley air base – said that their 'detection equipment' and 'signal jamming' had 'failed', in a presentation slide titled 'lessons learned,' DailyMail.com can reveal.

DailyMail.com obtained exclusive images that show one craft photographed by specialist military units over US airbase RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England last month

Langley Air Force Base in Virginia was swarmed with dozens of drones for weeks in December 2023, creating a security panic. But it was kept under wraps until a war magazine disclosed the incident in March etc 

The apparent bungled security response was due to the drone incursions being 'not initially viewed as a crisis', with a 'delay in external resources being deployed' and a 'delay in setting up [a] Unified Command Post'.

The report calls for 'more training/equipment needed for Ground Intercept Teams', 'better form[s] of communication for field personnel', a 'more robust notification and reporting system among partner agencies' and a 'better understanding of legal authorities (process) and capabilities of cUAS [anti-drone technology] / detection systems.'

It listed 'over-reliance on RF [radio frequency] -based detection equipment (failed)' and 'over-reliance on signal jamming mitigation technology (failed)'.

But despite the warnings in the report, a UK military source told DailyMail.com that when drones started swarming a US airbase in eastern England last month, security personnel were unprepared to deal with the advanced foreign technology.

The source, a senior officer, was briefed in detail on the drone incursions at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, which began on November 20.

Lakenheath is a highly sensitive location for the US military, reportedly earmarked earlier this year to store some of America's arsenal of nuclear weapons.

The officer told DailyMail.com that drones were recorded flying at up to 170mph near the base, chased a police helicopter, and appeared to be controlled remotely using radio frequencies outside of the normal bands used for military or civilian drones.

'The drones were flying in with no lights. When they were close to the site, they were turning on the lights going, "Here I am," and as far as I know not one piece of our equipment could bring it down or spot it,' the source said.

In the exclusively obtained images, a silhouetted object displaying four yellow, red and white lights was seen in the sky -the intelligence source told DailyMail.com the brief ruled out the object being a commercial aircraft

etc The senior officer who spoke to DailyMail.com, said the drones were recorded flying at up to 170mph near the base, chased a police helicopter, and appeared to be controlled remotely using radio frequencies outside of the normal bands used for military or civilian drones

When one of the objects was detected near the Lakenheath base around November 20, police sent a chopper to investigate.

'The drones were flying in set formation and then immediately locked on to the helicopter,' the source said.

'Long range UAVs [drones] that the US military use, there's a couple of seconds lag in the system. A report from the pilot said it must have been controlled by a controller within the UK, as there was no lag in the response.

'When the police helicopter climbed, the drones climbed with it. When the police helicopter tried to leave the area, the drones followed it.

'They were traveling really fast, faster than anything they'd seen before. From police helicopter footage, one of the drones was tracked traveling at 170mph.'

The officer said one helicopter even caught the advanced drone on an infrared camera in a video which is now classified.

'There is a 30-minute video of the incident,' they said. 'The camera on the helicopter was in IR mode, infrared. There is approximately one minute of footage when you can see a craft which looks like a fixed wing craft, and the maneuver that it does on the screen is like a very fast banking maneuver.

'It's very, very advanced technology. It can move very fast, and it can't be detected on any of the systems that we've currently got.

New Jersey witnesses have reported 'car-sized' drones since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time. They are also said to have been spotted in New York, Texas and Oklahoma

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy told reporters a drone was launched after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles 'coming off the ocean'

This photo provided by a New Jersey resident showed what appeared to be multiple drones flying over Bernardsville, on December 5

'We ended up using some Special Forces equipment, and nothing actually worked, to my knowledge.

'Nothing ever suggested to me we knew what we were doing, or what we were dealing with,' the source added.

The officer said that the drones' average recorded flight time was around three to four hours - similar to the Langley incident - and which combined with their speed is 'significantly more advanced than any type of drone in today's civilian market.'

DailyMail.com exclusively obtained a photograph of one of the drones over Lakenheath, taken by a specialist military group investigating the incursions and circulated in a UK military intelligence report.

The photos show a dark blue sky, with a silhouetted object displaying four yellow, red and white lights.

Though appearing to have a similar shape to a plane in one of the photos, a source who received the brief said that descriptions of the movement of the object by eyewitnesses on the base ruled out commercial aircraft.

Drone incursions over US military bases have continued this month, with dozens of drones spotted in New Jersey including over Naval Weapons Station Earle and Picatinny Arsenal, which manufactures and researches weapons including arms supplied to Ukraine, as well as reported incidents over the US' Ramstein Air Base in Germany on December 3 and 4. etc

Picatinny Arsenal, which manufactures and researches weapons including arms supplied to Ukraine, has had multiple drone sightings over its facilities

A New Jersey police department sparked concern after it revealed that a drone it sent up to track a mystery aircraft 'easily' evaded their device before disappearing into thin air.

And Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said a drone was launched after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles 'coming off the ocean'.

On December 10, FBI assistant director Robert Wheeler Jr. spoke at a congressional hearing on the drone incursions saying the Bureau is stumped.

'You're telling me we don't know what the hell these drones in New Jersey are?' Texas Republican congressman Tony Gonzalez asked.

'That's correct,' Wheeler Jr. replied.

The government response appears to be in disarray, with apparent contradictory statements from civilian and military branches.

A joint statement from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security on December 12 tried to attribute the sightings to conventional airplanes and claimed 'There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.'

But Bill Addison, public affairs officer for New Jersey's Naval Weapons Station Earle, told ABC News the next day that 'we can confirm multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle'.

A DoD spokesperson also briefed journalists on December 14 that 'We have had confirmed sightings at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle.'

On December 5, DoD division The United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) announced it was the 'lead synchronizer for Homeland Counter small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (HC-sUAS) Department of Defense operations in the Continental United States and Alaska'.

In a press release, it said this 'involves preparing to conduct counter-sUAS operations, establishing and maintaining a response plan, and tracking and responding to sUAS incidents.'

But in a statement to DailyMail.com on December 11, USNORTHCOM said it has 'not been requested to assist' with the New Jersey drone probe.

List of DUMBs by State – Complete List of Military Underground Bases in USA [VIDEO]

Posted by Sassy Liberty February 28, 2021

In America alone, there are over 120 Deep Underground Military Bases situated under most major cities, US AFBs, US Navy Bases, and US Army Bases, as well as underneath FEMA Military Training Camps and DHS control centers.

There are also many Deep Underground Military Bases under Canada.

Almost all of these bases are over 2 miles underground and have diameters ranging from 10 miles up to 30 miles across!

They have been building these bases day and night, unceasingly, since the 1940s. These bases are basically large cities underground connected by high-speed magneto-levity trains that have sped up to 1500 MPH.

The Black Projects sidestep the authority of Congress, which as we know is illegal. There is much hard evidence out there. Many will react with fear, terror, and paranoia, but you must snap out of it and wake up from the brainwashing your media pumps into your heads all day long.

Are you going to be a rabbit in the headlights, or are you going to stand up and say enough is enough?

The US Government through the NSA, DOD, CIA, DIA, ATF, ONI, US Army, US Marine Corps, FEMA, and the DHS has spent in excess of 12 trillion dollars building the massive, covert infrastructure for the coming One World Government and New World Religion over the past 40 years.

There is the Deep Underground Military Base underneath Denver International Airport, which is over 22 miles in diameter and goes down over 8 levels. It’s no coincidence that the CIA relocated the headquarters of its domestic division, which is responsible for operations in the United States, from the CIA’s Langley headquarters to Denver.

Constructed in 1995, the government and politicians were hell-bent on building this airport in spite of it ending up vastly overbudget. Charges of corruption, constant construction company changes, and mass firings of teams once they had built a section of their work were reported so that no “one” group had any idea what the blueprint of the airport was.

Not only did locals not want this airport built nor was it needed, but everything was done to make sure it was built despite that. Masonic symbols and bizarre artwork of dead babies, burning cities, and women in coffins comprise an extensive mural as well as a time capsule – none of which is featured in the airport’s website section detailing the unique artwork throughout the building.

DIA serves as a cover for the vast underground facilities that were built there. There are reports of electronic/magnetic vibrations which make some people sick and cause headaches in others. There are acres of fenced-in areas which have barbed wire pointing into the area as if to keep things in, and small concrete stacks that resemble mini-cooling towers rise out of the acres of nowhere to apparently vent underground levels.

The underground facility is 88.3 square miles deep. Basically, this Underground Base is 8 cities on top of each other! The holding capacity of such leviathans bases is huge. These city-sized bases can hold millions and millions of people, whether they are mind-controlled, enslaved NWO World Army Soldiers or innocent and enslaved surface dwellers from the towns and cities of America and Canada.

There is Dulce Base, in New Mexico. Dulce is a small town in northern New Mexico, located above 7,000 feet on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. There are only one major motel and a few stores. It’s not a resort town and it is not bustling with activity. But Dulce has a deep, dark secret. The secret is harbored deep below the brush of Archuleta Mesa.

Function: Research of mind-related functions, genetic experiments, mind control training, and reprogramming. There are over 3000 real-time video cameras throughout the complex at high-security locations (entrances and exits). There are over 100 secret exits near and around Dulce. Many around Archuleta Mesa, others to the south around Dulce Lake, and even as far east as Lindrith. Deep sections of the complex connect into natural cavern systems.

Level 1 – garage for street maintenance.

Level 2 – garage for trains, shuttles, tunnel-boring machines, and disc maintenance.

Level 3 – everyone is weighed, in the nude, then given a jumpsuit uniform. The weight of the person is put on a computer I.D. card each day. Change in over three dollars requires a physical exam and X-ray.

Level 4 – Human research in ‘paranormal’ areas – mental telepathy, mind control, hypnosis, remote viewing, astral traveling – etc. The technology is apparently here to allow them to know how to manipulate the ‘Bioplasmic Body’ Development of a laser weapon that can remotely cause burns and discomfort on its target. They can lower your heartbeat with Deep Sleep ‘Delta Waves,’ induce a static shock, then reprogram, Via a Brain-Computer link.

Level 5 -security is severe. Armed guards patrol constantly and in addition to weight-sensitive areas there (are) hand print and eye print stations. Here, is the device that powers the transfer of atoms.

Level 6 – Level 6 is privately called ‘Nightmare Hall’. It holds the genetic labs. Experiments were done on fish, seals, birds, and mice that are vastly altered from their original forms.

Then there is the Greenbrier Facility, in White Sulfer Springs, West Virginia under the Greenbriar Resort. The Continuity of Government facility intended since 1962 to house the United States Congress, code-named Casper, is located on the grounds of the prestigious Greenbrier resort.

The bunker is beneath the West Virginia wing, which includes a complete medical clinic. Construction of the facility, which began in 1959, required 2.5 years and 50,000 tons of concrete. The steel-reinforced concrete walls of the bunker, which is 20 feet below ground, are 2 feet thick.

The facility includes separate chambers for the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as a larger room for joint sessions. These are located in the “Exhibit Hall” of the West Virginia Wing, which includes vehicular and pedestrian entrances which can be quickly sealed by blast doors. They don’t even hide this one, and it’s even a tourist attraction. The Underground vault was built to meet the needs of a Congress-in-hiding – in fact, the hotel is a replica of the White House.

The underground area has a chamber for the Senate, a chamber for the House, and a massive hall for joint sessions. Although the hotel says it gives tours of the 112,000 square area daily, the installation still stands at the ready, its operators still working undercover at the hotel. The secrecy that has surrounded the site has shielded it both from public scrutiny and official reassessment

Most Americans will not believe that an American Holocaust will happen until they see it happening with their own eyes. Till then, it is just another strange conspiracy theory for them to laugh at. This is no laughing matter. When it happens, it will be too late to stop it.

The state of New Mexico and Colorado have been used for the construction of a series of underground bases. (All the rest of the states have too.) The Primary Underground facilities in New Mexico consist of 3 enormous underground bases in:

The Dulce, NM area (an area I spent several days investigating in 1993).

The White Sands–Alamogordo Area has 3 underground bases. Datil and Pie Town have two more underground bases. (Carlsbad Cavern which had underground activity, which is reported discontinued, and another base to the east of Carlsbad.).

The Los Alamos area underground facility. the Taos area underground facility

The New Mexico area has basically four underground systems out.

One goes to the Four Corners area and then to Groom Lake (Area 51).

One goes north toward Delta, CO, and Colorado Springs.

The Taos facilities go north approximately along Interstate 25 and eventually ties in NORAD.

The southern bases connect to Texas and Mexico.

The Los Alamos facility dates at least back to 1940. One can only imagine what has been built with 1/2 century of labor on this underground system. Visitors to the deeper levels report humans kept in glass cylinders, plus many other strange things. I have had the opportunity to debrief some people who have been in the lower reaches of some of these facilities. There are special badges, special uniforms, tube elevators, etc. which for lack of time I will not describe.

Kennecott’s mine (reported to be owned by the World Bank) in the Salt Lake City area is serviced by Union Pacific, which is reported connected to the Mormon Church. The mine is receiving a heavy volume of big trucks after 11 p.m., for instance, on a normal night over 6 dozen large trucks with 2 trailers each roll into the mine. In other words, it appears that the heavy train & tractor-trailer activity indicates something besides mining.

Radioactive shipment goes missing in New Jersey amid drone invasion

Radioactive material went missing in New Jersey earlier this month, fueling conspiracy theories that it could be linked to the mysterious drone sightings.

A piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was shipped from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield on December 2 for disposal, but the ‘shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty.’

The device, known as a ‘pin source,’ contained a small amount of Germanium-68 (Ge-68) that is used to calibrate a medical scanner’s accuracy. If handled without proper gear, it can cause radiation poisoning.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an alert for the missing shipment deemed ‘less than a Category 3,’ meaning it could cause permanent injury if mishandled.

The danger with losing track of radioactive material is that they can be used to build bombs.

But experts have suggested that malicious actors would likely use more potent materials than what was lost in New Jersey.

The missing medical equipment has led many on social media to speculate that the drones flying over New Jersey may be the government trying to ‘sniff out’ radioactive material.

John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas, said that the only reason drones are flown at night is because they are ‘looking for something.’

‘My own guess is that these drones are not nefarious in intent. If they are, they are, but I doubt it,’ Ferguson said in a TikTok video.

‘But if they are drones, the only reason why they would be flying, and flying that low, is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.’

Instances of missing radioactive material in the US are rare and typically involve small quantities used in industrial or medical applications.

The most recent was in 2023 when the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas reported that 10 radioactive seeds used for breast cancer scans had been stolen.

The previous instance happened in 2021 when a nuclear moisture density gauge containing radioactive material was reported missing in Durham, North Carolina.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported in 2020 that the most common reason for stealing radioactive material was ‘a likely act of trafficking or malicious use.’

Abel Gonzalez, former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency division of Radiation said: ‘When radioactive sources are used for diagnostic purposes — notably in nuclear medicine procedures — the amount of radioactivity used is small and again does not present an evident security threat.

‘However, there is increasing apprehension that radioactive sources could be turned into a terrorist tool — what [is sometimes call] a ‘dirty bomb.”

The Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) is NNSA’s multi-mission nuclear emergency response capability that leverages the Department of Energy’s world-class scientists and technical experts to contend with the Nation’s most pressing radiological and nuclear challenges. NEST is the umbrella designation that encompasses all DOE/NNSA radiological and nuclear emergency response functions, some of which date back more than 60 years. These include all field-deployed and remote technical support to the Nation’s countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) operations, including Preventive Nuclear and Radiological Detection (PNRD) and threat-based nuclear search; public health and safety missions, including radiological consequence management; and responses to U.S. nuclear weapon accidents and incidents. Additionally, NEST maintains operational capabilities that enable nuclear forensic analysis of nuclear material used in an improvised nuclear device or interdicted outside of regulatory control. NEST’s motto – “Scientifically Informed, Operationally Focused” – reflects the technical underpinning of its diverse operational missions.

NEST is composed of world-class scientists, engineers, emergency managers, and technicians recruited from the National Laboratories, plants, and sites who execute the incident response missions for which DOE and NNSA are responsible. These missions derive from a body of legal statutes, presidential policies, and international agreements that prescribe the Department’s specific roles in responding to various contingencies.

NEST’s core competencies includes specialized knowledge of U.S. nuclear weapons, improvised nuclear devices (IND), and radiological dispersal devices (RDDs, or “dirty bombs”). NEST expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following scientific disciplines: spectroscopy, device modeling, radiography, device assessment, atmospheric modeling, radiological environmental monitoring, dose assessment, medical effects of radiation, and technical nuclear forensics.

NEST conducts operations in close coordination with federal mission partners, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of Homeland Security, as well as state, local, tribal, and territorial governments during crises. As part of its long-term strategy, NEST continues to enhance regional capabilities to conduct time-critical actions to protect the public, key infrastructure, and the environment from nuclear and radiological dangers. Additionally, NEST ensures that cutting-edge technology and scientific innovation are continuously incorporated into its operations.

Specific capabilities include the following elements, which can be reached by contacting the Consolidated Emergency Operations Center.

By Isabel Keane  Published Dec. 16, 2024  Updated Dec. 16, 2024, 1:15 p.m. ET

Five people were killed, including a young gunman, in a shooting Monday morning at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, police said.

The gunfire broke out just before 11 a.m. at Abundant Life Christian School, a 28-acre K-12 Christian school in the state’s capital where police found multiple victims with gunshot wounds, Madison police said.

Police believe the gunman — a juvenile — attended the school.

“Today is a sad, sad day,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said, noting officers found the juvenile they believe was responsible for the shooting and said there was no longer an active threat.

At least seven were taken to area hospitals, Barnes said.

Police did not fire their weapons at the shooter.

It was not immediately clear whether the victims were students or adults. Barnes said the injuries ranged from minor to critical.

“Every person in that building is a victim and will be a victim forever. These types of traumas don’t go away,” Barnes said. “Right now my heart is heavy for my community. My heart is heavy for Madison.”

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement, “We are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond.”

Roads around the school are currently closed off as Madison police investigate.

Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have responded to the scene to help local law enforcement.

Police said their investigation is ongoing.

16-year-old kills entire family and then calls 911 to drunkenly confess to quadruple homicide: police

By David Propper  Published Dec. 16, 2024, 2:40 a.m. ET

A 16-year-old New Mexico boy was arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly gunned down his parents and teenage siblings and then drunkenly called 911 to confess to the quadruple homicide, police said.

Diego Leyva is facing first-degree murder charges in the horrific slaughter that happened around 3:30 a.m. before the Valencia County Sheriff’s Office received a phone call from the murder suspect, New Mexico State Police said in a news release.

The teen allegedly told a dispatcher over the phone that he killed his family, then walked out with his hands in the air when deputies reached his home in the city of Belen, authorities said.

State police said Leyva was “extremely intoxicated” but was taken into custody without incident.

A handgun was found on the kitchen table, according to police.

The suspect’s 42-year-old father, Leonardo Leyva, 35-year-old mother, Adriana Bencomo, 16-year-old sister, Adrian Leyva, and 14-year-old brother, Alexander Leyva, were all found dead with gunshot wounds inside the home, according to law enforcement and KRQE.

The alleged killer was taken to a nearby hospital for detox and then booked into a juvenile justice center in Albuquerque early Sunday, officials said.

A former teacher was in disbelief that the teen boy could be responsible for the ruthless slayings.

“I would never have thought that something like this would happen and that Diego would be capable of doing something like this,” educator Vanessa LaGrange told the Guardian. “Everyone’s in shock.”

The state police investigative bureau is still trying to determine what sparked the murderous rampage.

7.3 magnitude earthquake damages US Embassy on island nation of Vanuatu

The embassy "sustained considerable damage," U.S. officials said in a statement.

Magnitude 7.3 earthquake hits Pacific island nation of Vanuatu

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Tuesday just off the coast of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean, the USGS said.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- The U.S. Embassy in Port Vila was damaged on Tuesday as a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.

The embassy, which is in the capital on the island of Efate, "sustained considerable damage during the earthquake and is closed until further notice," U.S. officials said in an alert. All staffers who were in the building at the time of the quake were safe and accounted for, officials said in a later update on social media.

"Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this earthquake, and the U.S. government will work closely with our partners in Vanuatu," the update said.

The earthquake struck about 2 miles west of the capital just before 1 p.m. local time, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A series of aftershocks followed, but no tsunami warnings were issued.

"The U.S. Embassy is hearing reports that flights to and from Vanuatu are canceled," the embassy said in the alert "There are also reports of landslides in the Port Vila area."

"People are advised to avoid entering buildings as they may be damaged or unstable," the alert said.

The embassy was opened in July, Matthew Miller, a State Department spokesperson, said at the time.

ABC News' Joe Simonetti contributed to this report.

THOUSANDS feared dead as island is hit by 'most powerful cyclone for a century' with devastation from 163mph winds likened to 'nuclear war aftermath'

By TARYN PEDLER

Published: 05:11 EST, 16 December 2024 | Updated: 19:04 EST, 16 December 2024

Thousands are feared dead after an island in the Indian Ocean was hit by a devastating cyclone which carried 163mph winds and left a trail of destruction likened to the aftermath of a nuclear war.

Cyclone Chido hit Mayotte, France's poorest region, over the weekend, and has been considered the most violent that the island has experienced in almost a century.

Chido's dizzying winds tore through the archipelago and left buildings heavily damaged, vehicles destroyed, and the main airport and hospital completely wrecked.

Authorities previously reported at least 11 people killed by the vicious cyclone, but fears are rising that this toll could creep into the thousands as emergency workers race to find survivors.

Mayotte Prefect Francois-Xavier Bieuville told local TV: 'I think there are some several hundred dead, maybe we'll get close to a thousand, even thousands... given the violence of this event.'

However, he said it was currently 'extremely difficult' to get an exact number.

The Interior Ministry echoed these concerns, saying it could not confirm any figures at this stage, as a Mayotte local explained: 'What we are experiencing is a tragedy, it feels like the day after a nuclear war. I saw an entire neighborhood disappear.'

French civil security spokesperson Alexandre Jouassard told the France 2 news channel: 'The next minutes and hours are very important.

We are used to working in these conditions, and a few days after, you have pockets of survivors.'

Chido caused massive damage on Saturday, with the nearby islands of Comoros and Madagascar also affected, and the cyclone has now reached Mozambique.

Horror images shared by the French gendarmerie show the colossal ruins of hundreds of makeshift homes scattered across the island's hills, with fallen trees and garbage lining the streets.

At least a third of the territory's 320,000 residents live in shantytowns, where homes with sheet-metal roofs were flattened by the storm.

And with roads closed, officials fear that many could still be trapped under rubble in the inaccessible areas.

The mayor of Mayotte's capital Mamoudzou, Ambdilwahedou Soumaila, chillingly said the brutal storm 'spared nothing'.

'The hospital is hit, the schools are hit. Houses are totally devastated,' he said.

Some 160 additional soldiers and firefighters have now been sent to reinforce the 110 already deployed, as emergency services race against the clock to successfully carry out rescue missions.

As authorities assessed the scale of the disaster, a first aid plane reached Mayotte on Sunday.

It carried three tonnes of medical supplies, blood for transfusions and 17 medical staff, according to authorities in La Reunion.

Patrice Latron, prefect of Reunion, said residents of Mayotte were facing 'an extremely chaotic situation, immense destruction'.

Two military aircraft are expected to follow the initial aid flight, while a navy patrol ship was also due to depart La Reunion.

On Sunday, the French President also shared a message of support to those on the island during a meeting with Pope Francis in Corsica.

Emmanuel Macron said: 'I want to spare a thought for our compatriots in Mayotte who have suffered the most terrible things in recent hours and who, for some, have lost everything, have lost their lives'.

There have been international pledges to help Mayotte, including from the regional Red Cross organisation PIROI.

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc is 'ready to provide support in the days to come'.

The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said the WHO 'stands ready to support communities in need of essential health care'.

With around 100,000 people estimated to live clandestinely on Mayotte, according to France's interior ministry, establishing how many people have been affected by the cyclone is proving difficult.

Ousseni Balahachi, a former nurse, said some people did not dare venture out to seek assistance, 'fearing it would be a trap' designed to remove them from Mayotte.

Many had stayed put 'until the last minute' when it proved too late to escape the cyclone, she added.

Authorities had already warned on Saturday that it would take several days to establish a reliable assessment of the human and material damage caused by the cyclone, while fears are high about access to food, water and emergency shelter.

The prefect of La Réunion, Patrice Latron, announced on Sunday the establishment of a sea bridge and an air bridge between the island and Mayotte, approximately 1,400 km apart, with the dispatch of a first ship from the French Navy carrying 80 tonnes of equipment, including medicines, food and materials to restore water and electricity services.

Chido blasted across the Indian Ocean and made landfall in Mozambique on Sunday, where officials said the death toll stood at three.

The UN humanitarian agency, OCHA, warned 1.7 million people were in danger and the remnants of the cyclone could also dump 'significant rainfall' on Malawi through Monday.

'Many homes, schools and health facilities have been partially or completely destroyed and we are working closely with government to ensure continuity of essential basic services,' UNICEF said.

'While we are doing everything we can, additional support is urgently needed.'

UNICEF Mozambique spokesman Guy Taylor said in a video that communities now face the prospect of being cut off from schools and health facilities for weeks.

Malawi and Zimbabwe have also made emergency plans, with both warning they may have to rapidly evacuate low-lying areas due to flood risks.

Russian general assassinated in Moscow bomb, Ukraine SBU claims responsibility

Russia vows revenge for killing of Igor Kirillov chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, accused of using chemical weapons in Ukraine; bomb planted in scooter explodes killing him and his aid

News Agencies|02:53

Ukrainian security agency SBU on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the assassination of a Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov in an explosion of a bomb hidden in an electric scooter, Kirillov and his aid were both killed in the blast.

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said on Tuesday that the Ukrainian leadership would face imminent revenge for the assassination. "Realising the inevitability of its military defeat, it launches cowardly and despicable strikes in peaceful cities," he said.

Kirillov was killed outside an apartment building on Ryazansky Prospekt, which starts road some 7 km (4.35 miles) southeast of the Kremlin. "Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and his assistant were killed," the investigative committee said. A criminal case has been opened.

Pictures from the scene of the explosion show damage to a front door and a building and two bodies lying on the street covered in snow.

The UK imposed sanctions on Kirillov last October claiming he was overseeing the use of chemical weapons in the fighting in Ukraine. According to the British authorities, his forces used the chemical materials used to disperse riots as well as chloropicrin that causes asphyxiation. It was first used in WWI. The UK claimed Kirillov assisted the Kremlin in the use of the "barbaric weapon" and was a significant factor in promoting Russian disinformation.

On Monday, Kirillov was charged in Ukraine for the use of chemical weapons against the Ukrainian troops .<< Follow Ynetnews on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram >>

Lebanese Druze party leader urges Shi’ites to 'seek peace with Israel'

All Israel News Staff | Published: December 16, 2024

In Lebanon, the Druze have a significant political role as they are one of the recognized sects in Lebanon’s sectarian political system. Wiam Wahhab, a Lebanese Druze party leader and former minister, was recently interviewed on a Lebanese TV show called "Whala’ Shu," where he surprised many viewers by calling for "peace with Israel."

While typically one to outwardly support the Iranian regime and its proxies, he seemed to carefully tow the line and called for an embracing of peace with Israel. “I advise the Shi’ites to go to peace with Israel and let’s all live happily,” Wahhab said.

While show anchor Georges Salibi seemed perplexed by this admonition to live peacefully with their Israeli neighbors, Wahhab was asked why he was suddenly calling for such an agreement.

“The nation does not want to fight. Let’s follow the majority... The Muslim Brotherhood, which is Iran’s ally – they don’t want to fight...” he responded.

Additionally, the Lebanese politician did not hold back any critical remarks toward the Syrian Assad regime. He claimed that “Assad managed to disappoint, starve, and steal from all of his supporters, and he also relied on the Russians and neglected his own army.”

The former supporter of Assad was questioned by the show’s host regarding his past alliance with the Syrian leader, to which he responded, “I will kill and make a deal with the devil in order to protect my family if needed.”

According to The Jerusalem Post, last month Wahhab spoke out against Hezbollah, Iran’s main proxy in Lebanon, claiming that they attempted “to steal religious garbs from the Druze in Lebanon to dress up as Druze clerics and hide their terrorist activity.”

Israel drops 'earthquake bomb': Colossal explosion 'so big it registered on the Richter scale' hits Syrian coast as air strikes target weapons depots after fall of Assad regime

By TOM LAWRENCE and RYAN PROSSER

Published: 18:24 EST, 15 December 2024 | Updated: 03:50 EST, 16 December 2024

'Colossal' explosions have filled the skies in Syria as Israeli strikes are said to have targeted military sites in the 'the heaviest strikes' in the area for more than a decade - with blasts which registered on earthquake sensors.

A war monitor group said that Israeli strikes had targeted military sites in Syria's coastal Tartus region.

'Israeli warplanes launched strikes' targeting a series of sites including air defence units and 'surface-to-surface missile depots', said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in what it said were 'the heaviest strikes in Syria's coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012'.

It has been claimed that the explosion was so large, it measured as a magnitude 3.0 on seismic sensors.

Tartus has been the location of one of Russia's two military bases in Syria and was used as a naval base, as well as an ammunition depot.

The huge explosion, as well as secondary explosions, may indicate the presence of a large volume of stored armaments.

Dramatic videos circulating on social media showed a huge bright flash followed by several explosions which sent an enormous mushroom cloud of smoke into the air.

Russia's foreign ministry earlier today said it had evacuated some of its diplomatic staff from Syria, a week after the fall of the nation's dictator Bashar al-Assad.

According to researcher Richard Cordaro the blast was detected by a magnetometer station 820km away in Isnik in western Turkiye.

He added that the signal had travelled about 'as twice as fast' as that of a typical earthquake.

A naval military base was first established by the Soviet Union in Tartus in 1971.

Until 2017 the facility was classed as a 'Material-Technical Support Point' rather than a base, and is Russia's only entrance point to the Mediterranean.

The centre was used for the delivery of armaments and supplies as Russia intervened in the Syrian civil war in 2015.

Putin ordered the base's expansion in 2017, after Assad gave a 49-year lease on the facility free-of-charge in exchange for helping keep him in power.

Russia also operated a base at Hmeimim in 2015, repurposing an existing civilian airport near the port city of Latakia.

The facility believed to be well protected, with security perimeters and air defences that have a range of up to 250 kilometres (155 miles), according to Russian state media.

While the Russian army doesn't publish deployment numbers, analysts believe the number of soldiers stationed there significantly decreased following Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

On Wednesday, a Kremlin spokesperson had said Moscow was in contact with the new authorities in Syria regarding their bases' future.

The air strikes now raise more questions about the future of the Russian assets in the country, including the Hmeimim military airfield.

Following an 11-day offensive, a rebel coalition dominated by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) overthrew Al-Assad, who fled to Russia along with his family.

Russia was one of al-Assad's main backers throughout the Syrian Civil War, providing troops and vital air support from 2015 to push back advancing rebels and shore up support for the Ba'athist dictator.

The former president had to be persuaded by Russian intelligence that he would lose the fight and to leave the country as opposition forces marched on Damascus.

Well-placed sources told Bloomberg yesterday that talks were already underway to ensure Russian forces could remain at the naval port in Tartus - Russia's only Mediterranean port.

Satellite imagery taken earlier this week nonetheless showed that Russia has, at least for now, abandoned its naval base in Tartus since the fall of Damascus on December 8.

Five warships were pictured in the port last week but had left by Monday.

It comes after the US held direct talks with rebel forces and insisted the incoming government must destroy the country's chemical weapons.

Alongside its campaign in Syria, Israel staged fresh attacks on Lebanon, while a mother and her five-year-old daughter were among the dead after a municipal meeting in central Gaza was apparently targeted. The IDF said the air strike killed a key Hamas member.

Naim Qassem, the head of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group, urged the new Syrian regime not to normalise relations with Israel, adding that the Lebanese armed group had lost its supply route through Syria.

Earlier last week, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations' special envoy for Syria, said that Israeli airstrikes in Syria were a 'very troubling development' and needed to stop.

Russia Rapidly Packing Up Military Equipment At Bases In Syria

by Tyler Durden

Authored...

The future fate of Russia's two military bases in Syria—the Tartus naval base on the Mediterranean coast and the Khmeimim Air Base near the port city of Latakia—is still a big unknown in the wake of the collapse of the Assad government.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov has since said that Moscow is currently in direct contact with the political committee of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which holds Damascus and major cities, as Moscow aims to keep its military bases within Syria.

Since the HTS takeover of Damascus there have been no reported incidents of Russian troops or the bases coming under fire; however, troops are on high alert.

Huge Russian armored and troop convoys have been seen withdrawing from the capital area and some other parts of Syria, headed to the safety of Hmeimim airbase in Latakia province.

Negotiations with the new leaders in Damascus for Russia's bases to be maintained appear to be ongoing. Several videos have emerged showing significant amounts of Russian equipment being moved to the coast, and presumably being readied for evacuation.

The base at Tartus has long been Russia's only Mediterranean naval port, which goes back to Soviet times and Moscow's decades long relationship with the Assad's, going back to President Hafez al-Assad.

But now even as negotiations over the future continues, Russia's military appears to be quickly packing up the bases. According to Al Jazeera on Friday:

The images taken on Friday show what appear to be at least two Antonov AN-124s, one of the world’s largest cargo planes, with their nose cones open at the Hmeimim airbase in Syria’s coastal Latakia province.

“Two An-124 heavy transport aircraft are at the airfield – both with their nose cones lifted and prepared to load equipment/cargo,” Maxar said. “Nearby, a Ka-52 attack helicopter is being dismantled and likely prepared for transport while elements of an S-400 air defense unit are similarly preparing to depart from its previous deployment site at the air base.”

Earlier, our colleagues on the ground reported that hundreds of armored vehicles flying Russian flags are travelling on the Damascus-Homs highway towards the Syrian coast.

They added that Russian forces in central and southern Syria gathered in Qudssaya near Damascus before the fall of the regime and are now withdrawing to the Khmeimim airbase and the port of Tartous.

Starting in 2015 President Assad had formally asked his Russian ally Putin to intervene militarily in Syria against the jihadist 'rebels' - as by then the crisis was clearly a full-blown proxy war for regime change backed by the West.

That's when Russian planes and assets rapidly increased their deployments to Khmeimim, and Russia has also for years been flexing its naval might by staging drills in the eastern Mediterranean. With Assad gone and now given asylum in Moscow, Russia is likely to divert these military assets to the Ukraine war.

West’s hounding of Russia is futile – Putin

The Russian president has asserted that his country remains resilient despite unprecedented sanctions pressure

President Vladimir Putin addressed the ongoing challenges posed by international sanctions and external pressures at the plenary session of the ruling United Russia party on Saturday.

“Russia is developing, the economy is growing. And this is against the backdrop of unprecedented sanctions, blunt interference, and pressure from the ruling elites of certain states,” Putin stated. He emphasized that “no blackmail or attempts from outside to hinder us will ever yield results.”

The United Russia congress is set to alter the party’s program and charter, as well as rotate its High and General Councils.

Russia will achieve all of its short and long-term objectives, Putin added.

Despite Western efforts, Russia remains strongly active in international trade. Some nations in the EU continue buying Russian-sourced energy, openly defying Brussels’ calls to divest, while others do so through intermediaries, according to researchers monitoring supplies. Last month, Bloomberg warned that the latest round of US sanctions, which targeted Russia’s Gazprombank, threaten to cause an energy crisis in Western Europe.

Washington and its allies have imposed a record 22,000 sanctions on Moscow since 2014, when a Western-backed coup in Kiev prompted Crimea to rejoin Russia and led to a conflict between Ukraine and the Donbass republics. The number of measures spiked after the launch of the special military operation in February 2022.

Moscow has long slammed Western sanctions as illegal. It noted on more than one occasion that these have failed to achieve their ultimate goal of destabilizing the Russian economy and isolating the country from the global financial system. Instead, they have backfired on the states that imposed them.

Moscow views the Ukraine conflict as a proxy war to contain Russia. It has for years voiced concerns about NATO’s unchecked expansion towards its border, while regarding the US-led bloc as an existential threat.

Biden planning last-minute Ukraine arms surge – CNN

The US administration aims to boost arms supplies to Kiev before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, a source has told the outlet

The outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing a significant surge in weapons deliveries to Ukraine in the final weeks of his tenure, a senior official told CNN on Thursday.

President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Biden’s handling of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, and campaigned on a promise to resolve the hostilities “within 24 hours.” However, since his election victory in November, he has not disclosed any detailed plans for achieving that goal.

The US Department of Defense “is undertaking a historic effort to move massive quantities of weapons into Ukraine in the next five weeks,” the unnamed official told CNN.

Washington reportedly plans to deliver “hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, thousands of rockets, hundreds of armored vehicles, and other critical capabilities” between now and January 20, when Trump returns to the White House.

According to the source, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is leading an interagency effort to facilitate the deliveries. In November, he directed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to “accelerate” the movement of various arms, including armored vehicles and missiles.

The unnamed official stressed that despite the increased military support, there are no American troops deployed in Ukraine, and that this situation will not change.

Since the start of the conflict, US weapons have been transported to Ukraine via Europe, but the upcoming surge will reportedly involve a substantial number of flights and sea vessels to ensure swift arrival.

On Thursday evening, Biden authorized a new $500 million weapons package for Ukraine, which includes air defense, artillery, drones, and armored vehicles. Since the escalation of hostilities in February 2022, the US Congress has approved over $174 billion in aid to Kiev. Biden has also given the greenlight for Ukraine’s strikes deep into Russia using US-supplied missiles.

Trump has slammed the decision as “a very big mistake”. In an interview with Time magazine earlier this week, he said such attacks are only “escalating this war and making it worse.”

That echoed the view of Moscow, which has repeatedly warned that long-range strikes will only worsen the conflict and be seen as NATO’s direct participation in the hostilities.

“In this case we take the same view of the reasons for the escalation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, adding that Trump’s opposition to Ukraine’s use of American long-range missiles “appeals” to Moscow.

Social media has gone ablaze with conspiracy theorists insisting that the mysterious drone sightings all over the nation are connected to a chilling government plot.

Roseanne Barr, among many others, attributed citizens' confusion and the lack of information being provided about the staggering number of drones in the sky to something called Project Blue Beam.

'Now you see why I mention Project Blue Beam every week on my podcast…..,' the 72-year-old Trump-supporting actress wrote on X.

Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory dating to the 1990s that claims global elites, including government and military organizations, are planning to use advanced technology to stage celestial events in order to manipulate the world's population.

The theory has recently found traction again online as commentators such as Barr claim that the US government could stage an alien invasion as a pretext for imposing authoritarian rule.

The outlandish theory is among many that have been amplified over the last week in the vacuum of information left in the wake of the Biden administration's failure to tell the public where the drones are coming from or who is behind them.

And Donald Trump called for urgent action yesterday, taking to the Truth Social platform to say: ‘Mystery drone sightings all over the country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!’

The Pentagon claims there is no threat to national security but has not been able to explain the spate of drone sightings across the country in recent weeks. The vast majority have been in New Jersey but mystery aircraft have also been reported across the country from Washington DC to California.

Some of the objects have been said to be as large as a car, while New Jersey police reported that the drones were ‘unlike anything we have seen before’, failing to emit either heat or sound, making them undetectable on radar.

An Iranian ship was said to have been spotted off the New Jersey shore days before the first drone sighting was reported on November 18.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew said the drones were coming from a ‘hostile mothership’ offshore, saying: ‘It could be hundreds of miles out at sea. These types of drones go much greater distances.

‘Could it be China? Absolutely. Iran is a definitely possibility.’ Mr Van Drew added: ‘The Pentagon does not know what these drones are or where they are coming from. I have highly credible sources who believe Iran could have a ship off the east coast. We are not being told the truth. They are treating the American public like we are stupid.’

The footage of what looked like a glowing orb taken by ABC7 in Mendham Township went viral over the weekend as a reporter on the ground told anchors in the studio: 'We have no idea what it is.'

Some claimed that the video showed a distant light source such as a star that was out of focus, while others claimed that it was a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon).

In many X users' posts about Project Blue Beam, they shared an attachment from a Reddit thread allegedly posted by a 25-year 'Radar Operator'

This person claimed the drones are part of a military 'drill' and that all released information is on a 'need to know basis'.

'The drones are part of a military 'drill' being conducted by space force. Everything is on a 'need to know' basis which is why there is so much confusion,' the post reads.

The user, who titled the post 'Radar Guy here, I know who is operating the Drones,' said they were 'concerned' that 'something big is about to go down.'

The Reddit user claimed to know of alleged 'full lock out' drills, which they say involve 'full turnover of all radio and radar aircraft communications to the military for several hours at a time.

The Rediuser claimed to know of alleged 'full lock out' drills, which they say involve 'full turnover of all radio and radar aircraft communications to the military for several hours at a time.

The Reddit user similarly referenced the 'goals' of Project Blue Beam as they alleged the US government is preparing for a 'big show' for the public very soon.

Another part of the theory claims that miraculous or supernatural events would be staged to convince the masses of the legitimacy of the new world order sought to be created as part of the scheme.

The user even went so far as to claim CNN was shooting 'pre-roll' for a future story on the upcoming 'big show.'

'CNN was even at our facility shooting 'pre-roll' footage for a future story. I don't know exactly what is going on, but all I know is this: GET READY!' the post concluded.

Nearly 5,000 reports of drone sightings have been sent to federal officials including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Aviation Administration.

The peculiar drone sightings were first reported in New Jersey in late November, since, many have taken to social media to share their own viewing.

Iran’s new massive drone ship left home port last month – and went weeks without being spotted

By Shane Galvin Published Dec. 13, 2024, 9:23 p.m. ET

A newly minted and massive Iranian drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in the Persian Gulf this week — the ship’s first reported sighting since leaving its home port for the first time in mid-November.

The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider.

Iran’s new carrier — the Shahid Bagheri — is a converted shipping container that was outfitted to support drone operations and was last seen on Nov. 12, when it was captured by satellite imagery sitting in Bandar Abbas, the report said.

The Shahid Bagheri left its home Iranian home port sometime between Nov. 12 and Nov. 28, revealed by satellite imagery that shows an empty dock where the ship once sat, according to another Business Insider report.

The new carrier was believed to have headed straight to the Persian Gulf to partake in naval exercises, the report said.

The new images from this week show the overhauled ship was pictured with two other Iranian drone vessels — Shahid Roudaki and Shahid Mahdavi — off the Bandar Abbas port in the Persian Gulf, according to NDTV.

News of the Shahid Bagheri’s whereabouts came days after speculation that an Iranian drone “mothership” was parked out in the Atlantic and was carrying out clandestine drone operations in the airspace of New Jersey and Staten Island.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) claimed to Fox News on Wednesday morning that the drones were possibly being launched by Iran, citing confidential sources.

“I’m gong to tell you the real dal. Iran launched a mothership that contains these drones,” Van Drew said. “It’s off the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones.”

The Pentagon quickly poured cold water on those claims — saying there was “no evidence” that the country was responsible for the mysterious drones that have reportedly been seen across the state of New Jersey since Nov. 18.

However, no explanation has been provided to state and local officials who have been receiving thousands of reports from concerned New Jerseyans.

On Thursday, White House national security council spokesperson John Kirby said no federal agency has been able to corroborate any of the reports made of drone activity — saying all crafts reviewed by feds have been flying in accordance with the law.

Kirby backtracked on those comments in an interview on Fox’s “The Story” on Friday.

“I said many of the corroborated sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft, I didn’t say all of them. I said those were the ones we were able to corroborate,” Kirby said.

“There’s certainly the ones that we have not been able to [corroborate] and don’t know the answers to it,” he added.

Trump: Govt Must Come Clean on Drones or Shoot Them Down

By Michael Katz | Friday, 13 December 2024 09:29 PM EST

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. government must know more about the mysterious drone sightings along the East Coast this week, and if not, the drones should be shot down.

"Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge. I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT"

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told CNN's "The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer" on Friday that Americans should not be concerned.

"Let me calm those nerves," Mayorkas said. "We have not seen anything unusual. We have not seen any unusual activity. We know of no threat. We know of no nefarious activity.

"I want to repeat that: We have not seen anything unusual; we know of no threat and of any nefarious activity."

Mayorkas' comments come amid multiple reports of sightings in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania of flying objects. U.S. military officials have also confirmed reports of drones being spotted near and above bases in the United Kingdom and Germany.

"Let me explain," Mayorkas said. "People are reporting sightings of drones. It is very common for individuals who think they see drones to actually see small aircraft, and we have a case of mistaken identity. Also, we have six different people reporting what they think is a drone, and all of a sudden we have reports of six drone sightings. So, there's some duplication."

When asked about Trump's Truth Social post, Mayorkas said: "The statements I have made already are the principal message I want to communicate to the American public.

"We haven't seen anything unusual. We know of no known threat. Secondly, we have gone to Congress repeatedly asking for more authority to counter drone activity. And we have also asked for more authority to give to the state and local officials under our supervision because … those authorities need to be expanded."

Mayorkas said he has spoken daily with Democrat New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and that DHS has been in daily contact with New Jersey state police. He said state-of-the-art technology that DHS has deployed "has not confirmed any drone sightings" but it has confirmed "that some reported drone sightings are in fact small aircraft."

"That's not to say there aren't drones flying in the air, but we have no concern at this point with respect to a threat or any nefarious activity," Mayorkas said. "The reality is, you can have a 15-year-old kid who buys a drone off the shelf and puts it up in the sky.

"We have not seen drones turn their lights off in the dark. We have not seen drones penetrate restricted airspace. Those are two indicia that would give us a cause for concern."

Iranians outraged over catastrophic and costly failure in Syria policy, report says

Unprecedented and outspoken criticism across television studios, press outlets and social media unsettles leaders, who fear resurgence of protests; one commentator asserts wave of public anger cannot be silenced

ynet|04:29

Iranians including members of the cleric, former officials and even some at the Iranian Revolutionary Gard Corps (IRGC) have been expressing their anger at the nearly 30 billion dollars spent and now lost in Syria, according to a report in the New York Times.

The anger now directed at the Ayatollah regime has been expressed openly in television studios, newspapers and public events, even by conservatives who have been supporters of the government in Tehran.

The regime has responded forcefully and has gone after some of its critics but that has not stopped the discussion over the extraordinary failure of the Iranian strategy.

Iran had backed Syria for the past four decades and has used it as a base for the spread of its Islamic revolution in the Middle East and as a main component of the "axis of resistance."

"Iran controlled military bases, missile factories, tunnels and warehouses that served the supply chain for its network of militants. From Syria, Iran funneled weapons, cash and logistical support to Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and militants in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Iraq," the report reads.

During the Syrian civil war, Iranian troops fought to protect the regime of Bashar Assad and had paid in Iranian blood. With the fall of the Assad regime, the pro-Iranian militias and the Iranian forces were made to withdraw.

"In 11 days, we've lost everything we've fought for, in the past 13 years," a member of the IRGC said.

One former Iranian lawmaker said in a social media post that Assad's fall can be viewed as a positive thing because Iran would no longer waste money to prop up, this "spider's web," alluding to the analogy once used by another Iranian ally who has been removed from the scene, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah who used the term when describing Israeli society and perceived strength.

Opponents of the regime in Tehran have long criticized the vast investments of funds in Syria and in the region but they have been ignored. Now the anger is being shared by families of Iranians who have died in Syria's war who ask if their loved ones had fallen in vain.

Alireza Mokarami who runs a news site and had served in Syria in the past, referred to what he called the "catastrophic failure" of Iran in Syria. “Why were you spending billions of dollars of oil revenues that belong to the Iranian people on Assad until the very end if he wasn’t even listening to you?” he asked in a post. “At least on the topic of Syria, stop lying and be honest with the people.”

Hassan Shemshadi, a prominent Iranian commentator and a supporter of the regime told the Times that the public debate is being held in all levels of society, not only in media outlets. “People are asking: Why did we spend so much money there? What did we achieve? What is our justification now that it’s all gone?”

Ebrahim Motaghi, a professor of international relations at Tehran University said in a television broadcast that Iran had lost its position as a regional power and was now no different than any ordinary country.

A similar opinion was published on the front page of the Ham Mihan newspaper, affiliated with the reform movement in Iran, in an article by cleric Mohammad Shariati Dehghan who said the fall of Assad exposed Iranian’s strategy as misguided and “built on weak foundations,” and demanded a new approach that would favor alliances with countries over arming and financing militant groups, so that Iranian money and resources could be spent on the needs of Iranians.

The New York Times noted that the debate in Iran was unusual and bold in light of the widespread oppression by the regime that now fears a reemergence of the protest movement. Supreme leader Ali Khamenei said the criticism was a crime that only spreads fear.

The regime announced investigations of prominent officials but one commentator told the Times that the public outrage would not be stopped and that there was no way to diminish the blow that Iran had sustained.

In official statements, the Iranian government has said it respects the rights of Syrians to determine their future and that a dialogue with the rebels has already begun.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi even claimed that the rebels have agreed to Iran's request to protect sacred Shiite sites in Syria and Iranian diplomatic missions after the Iranian embassy in Damascus was trashed when the rebels entered the city.

But Khamenei called the rebels "aggressors" in his speech on Wednesday and accused Israel and the U.S. of being behind their assault. He also alluded to the Turkish involvement in the fall of Assad and claimed that the "resistance" would only strengthen and spread.

Rebels trash Iran's embassy in Damascus

According to some officials in Tehran, including from the IRGC, the Iranian regime would now agree to any form of diplomatic presence in Syria, no matter how small. Two officials said Iran hoped to avoid the embarrassment of being ousted completely by the new Syrian leadership.

“Iran wants to move toward a direction that would eventually normalize its relations with Syria, but it’s going to be very difficult,” Rahman Ghahremanpour, a political analyst based in Tehran, said in a telephone interview. “The first priority right now is to make sure Syria does not turn into a base against Iran and a launchpad to attack its interests in Iraq or Lebanon.”

Authorities Scrambling as Residents Report Drone Crash in New Jersey

Reece Walker December 13, 2024

Residents in New Jersey are reporting that a large drone has crashed as authorities rush to the scene to investigate.

Authorities converged on Hillsborough, New Jersey in an incident that could be related to a drone.

Several locals said they witnessed a drone crash in the area.

It comes as officials on Staten Island held a press conference, calling for the NYPD to investigate drone sightings over the NYC area.

“You know, there was a saying that we had after 9/11, ‘if you see something say something,’” said Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella.

“I think that’s become, ‘if you see something, don’t worry about it.’

“Because we saw it too and the people of Staten Island deserve answers, the people of this city and state and region deserve answers, of what the heck is going on.’”

Rocket fuel eating away at US, China nuclear weapons

Fast-aging fuel has likely rendered many US and Chinese ICBMs unusable, raising urgent questions about their nuclear arsenals

by Gabriel Honrada December 10, 2024

Aging rocket fuel may be quietly crippling the world’s nuclear arsenals, according to a new report exposing the ticking time bomb inside both US and Chinese missiles.

This month, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Chinese rocket scientists have discovered that the solid fuel used in intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) ages much faster than previously known, potentially rendering hundreds of missiles unusable.

Research conducted at China’s National Key Laboratory of Solid Rocket Propulsion in Xian revealed that significant changes in the fuel columns can occur within 30 years, making them unable to withstand the loads during flight. This finding could explain the frequent launch failures experienced by some nuclear powers in recent years.

The study, led by senior engineer Qin Pengju, found that while the aged propellant appeared stable during routine storage, it became significantly more brittle under high pressure. It mentions that the research focused on the solid fuel commonly used in ICBMs: ammonium perchlorate, aluminum powder and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) binder.

SCMP says the study’s findings suggest that the fuel’s ductility under pressure can be compromised after just 27 years, leading to possible rapid fractures during launch. It notes that the issue has raised concerns about the US’s declining nuclear deterrent capability, which relies on Minuteman III missiles manufactured in the 1970s and Trident II missiles that have been operational for nearly three decades.

Perhaps illustrating the unreliability of aging ICBMs, a failed Minuteman III ICBM test in November 2023 has heightened concerns about the US’s aging land-based nuclear arsenal. The unarmed missile was terminated during a launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base due to an anomaly.

While the Minuteman III as a whole is still considered a reliable weapons system, its subcomponents, such as the silo, electronics and warhead, are old and may have been neglected.

Asia Times has previously reported that the US faces mounting pressure to replace its aging Minuteman III ICBMs as delays and cost overruns plague its next-generation LGM-35A Sentinel program.

Budgeted initially at US$95.8 billion, the Sentinel’s cost has surged to an estimated $160 billion, forcing the Pentagon to justify the increase under the Nunn-McCurdy Amendment. Due to Covid-19 disruptions and inflation, production delays have postponed its deployment until 2029. As a result, the US Air Force must extend Minuteman III’s lifespan.

Aside from old delivery systems, Asia Times reported in January 2024 that the aging of plutonium pits in US nuclear weapons poses a significant challenge to the country’s strategic deterrent. Despite plutonium’s 24,000-year half-life, microscopic changes over time can affect the storage safety and explosive yield of nuclear weapons.

The US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has struggled to produce new plutonium pits, with current production capacity unlikely to meet the goal of 80 pits annually until 2030 or later. This shortfall is attributed to a post-Cold War culture of complacency, a lack of skilled workers and restrictive environmental regulations.

Existing pits, designed for older weapons, may not perform as required in newer systems, raising concerns about the reliability of the US nuclear arsenal.

Keeping the 1970s-era Minuteman III poses significant challenges. In a February 2014 RAND report, Lauren Caston and other writers mention that central to keeping the aging Minuteman III in service is the aging infrastructure and components that require continuous modernization to maintain operability.

Caston and others mention that while the Minuteman III Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) aims to incrementally modernize the system by replacing critical subsystems like guidance and propulsion, the incremental modernization approach is hampered by the obsolescence of original manufacturing processes and materials, forcing reliance on more expensive, modern substitutes.

Another significant operational constraint is the depletion of missile inventory due to annual test firings, which accelerated after 2017 when the rate increased from three to four tests annually. They say America’s missile stockpile could dip below required operational levels by 2030 without ramping up new production.

As the US struggles to keep the Minuteman III in service while justifying the Sentinel’s ballooning costs, Parth Satam mentions in a July 2024 article for The Aviationist that extending the Minuteman III’s life until 2050 is significantly cheaper, with past refurbishments costing only $7 billion for 450 missiles.

However, Satam points out that maintaining these vintage systems is technically challenging due to outdated documentation and a lack of knowledgeable technicians. He contrasts that to the Sentinel program, despite its $140 billion price tag and cost overruns, promising a modern, cyber-defendable command and control system.

Satam says the US Department of Defense’s (DOD) projected lifetime for the Sentinel, set up to 2075, is arbitrary and inflates costs. He says a more flexible timeline could make the Minuteman III extension more viable. However, he cautions about the risks of not modernizing, citing the need to address emerging threats from nuclear-armed competitors like China and Russia.

However, he notes the Sentinel’s development could also strain budgets, potentially impacting other key defense programs such as the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter and B-21 Raider stealth bomber.

This situation raises concerns about reliability and deterrence amid growing threats from nuclear rivals. Unlike the US, China and Russia have aggressively modernized their nuclear arsenals, further exacerbating the US’s strategic dilemma as China is ramping up fissile material production and Russia showcasing nuclear brinkmanship in the Ukraine war.

While liquid-fuel systems may avoid problems associated with solid fuel, they bring challenges such as difficult-to-store propellants, design complexity, which opens up more points of possible failure, and the need to be fueled before launch, unlike solid-fuel missiles.

To illustrate these problems, Sidharth Kaushal mentions in an October 2024 Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) article that Russia’s efforts to replace the aging liquid-fuel R-36 Satan ICBM with the RS-28 Sarmat have faced significant challenges, highlighting issues within its missile production sector.

Kaushal says that the recent catastrophic failure of the Sarmat test in September 2024 underscores these difficulties. He notes that the failure, likely due to propulsion issues, caused extensive damage to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.

He notes that the Sarmat, intended to replace the Soviet-era R-36, has experienced repeated delays and technical problems since its development began in 2013. The complexity of the new system’s propulsion and lighter structure have contributed to these setbacks.

Additionally, he mentions that the collapse of Russia’s cooperation with Ukrainian contractors, who previously maintained the R-36, has exacerbated the situation. He says Russia’s reliance on its Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau for the Sarmat’s development has not fully mitigated these issues.

Kaushal points out that the RS-28’s troubled history, including multiple failed tests and delays, raises concerns about the reliability of Russia’s silo-based ICBMs, which are crucial for its strategic deterrence. However, he says that despite these challenges, the Sarmat has been accepted into service, reflecting the urgency of replacing the R-36.

Flurry of earthquakes hit two states as scientists fear a 'Big One' is coming

READ MORE: America's strongest earthquakes in history as 7.0 rocks CA

By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 13:43 EST, 12 December 2024 | Updated: 14:26 EST, 12 December 2024

A swarm of earthquakes hit a massive 150-foot-long fault line in the Midwest that scientists fear is overdue for a mega-quake.

This little-known New Madrid sits in America's Heartland, passing through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois.

The US Geological Survey detected eight quakes from December 6 to 11.

Missouri experienced seven that hit Howardville, Matthews, Martson Hayward and Cooter, and Ridgely, Tennessee experienced one.

The largest quakes were a magnitude 3.0 and 2.6 that struck near Howardville, and the rest measured roughly magnitude 2.

Any earthquake less than magnitude 2.5 generally isn't felt, but the shaking can be detected by a seismograph.

Scientists have warned that the fault line can generate a magnitude 7 or higher in the next 50 years.

The chances of a quake that size is around about 40 percent, but 'every year that goes by, the likelihood becomes greater,' said Robbie Myers, an emergency coordinator with the Missouri Department of Safety.

And on December 11, the eight was detected in Howardville.

The area has not had a significant quake in more than 200 years.

The last powerful seismic activity occurred between 1811 and 1812 when three quakes hit that were 'estimated to be between magnitude 7 and 8,' according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The swarm destroyed settlements and 'dramatically affected the landscape,' officials reported.

Though this week's earthquake swarm is not necessarily a sign that the New Madrid fault is about to produce a larger quake, experts have said people living around it should always be prepared for a major seismic event.

A magnitude 8 quake in this region could kill thousands, destroy bridges over the Mississippi River, buckle major highways such as Interstate 55 and cause oil and gas pipelines to break, Myers previously told DailyMail.com.

Experts believe the most significant destruction would occur in St Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee. But an event of this magnitude would cause nationwide disruptions.

A damaging earthquake of magnitude 6 or greater occurs about once every 80 years in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The last one of that magnitude was a 6.6 event in 1895 near Charleston, Missouri - 129 years ago. Thus, this fault is long overdue for a large earthquake.

'[An earthquake] in the next 50 years is a strong possibility, and people should take precautions,' Myers said.

'Right now there is nothing more pressing. And every year that goes by, the likelihood becomes greater.'

The NMSZ is one of the most active seismic zones east of the Rocky Mountains. Thus, swarms like Monday's are not uncommon.

Earthquake swarms are characterized by clusters of small to moderate quakes that occur over a short period.

Scientists are still investigating what causes an earthquake swarm, but they have some theories.

One possible explanation is that the fault is slipping slowly, and small sticky patches are popping off and generating numerous small earthquakes, according to the USGS.

Alternatively, magma - or molten rock - might be pushing up into the Earth's crust, opening a pathway for itself by breaking the rock in front of it and triggering a series of quakes.

But most often, earthquake swarms appear to be caused by the gradual release of tectonic stress along fault lines, or changes in subsurface conditions, according to the USGS.

Although the NMSZ frequently produces earthquakes, their generally low magnitude and meager impact doesn't garner much attention for this seismic zone.

Instead, most of the earthquake preparation in the US has focused on California, which experts say is about 80 years overdue for 'The Big One', a massive earthquake along the 800-mile long San Andreas fault.

This focus on California has made it harder for experts in Missouri and other states on the NMSZ to convince officials and the public to be prepared.

But the impact of an earthquake in this area could be more widespread than what's recorded on the West Coast, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources has said.

'Due to the nature of the bedrock in the earth's crust in the central United States, earthquakes in this region can shake an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California,' Department officials wrote in a blog post.

Russia’s latest hypersonic missile, Oreshnik, has debuted in Ukraine with devastating results. Equipped with a 4,000°C thermal warhead, it melts steel, vaporizes concrete, and obliterates hardened fortifications. Six warheads were unleashed on Dnipro in its first combat test, marking a chilling new era in warfare. Could this unstoppable weapon reshape the battlefield?

“Falling Off A Cliff”: This Chart Proves That We Are In A Major Economic Downturn Right Now

December 12, 2024 by Michael

The number of job openings in the United States has been “falling off a cliff”, and that is a major red flag. The last four years have been an economic nightmare for most Americans, and that is one of the primary reasons why Donald Trump won the election. But as we approach 2025, things are starting to get frighteningly bad. When the number of job openings in the U.S. drops by 2 million or more, that normally signals that we are either in a recession or that one is about to happen. Well, as you can see from this chart that was posted by Bravos Research on Twitter, we are witnessing a collapse in job openings that is absolutely unprecedented…

I was floored when I saw that chart.

I knew that job openings were falling, but I didn’t know that things had gotten this bad.

Not too long ago, there were about 12 million job openings in the United States. Unfortunately, here in the second half of 2024 that figure has fallen below 8 million…

There were an estimated 7.4 million unfilled jobs on the last day of September, a drop from August’s revised tally of 7.86 million openings, according to new data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The largest drop-offs in openings were in industries that have driven much of the job growth in recent years: health care and social assistance, and government, according to the report.

Meanwhile, major employers continue to shed workers all over the nation.

For example, the U.S. lost a total of 78,000 manufacturing jobs during a recent three month period…

The manufacturing sector continued to shed jobs in October, bringing its tally of job losses to 78,000 over the past three months.

The Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday released its jobs report for October, which found that the manufacturing sector lost 46,000 jobs last month, according to the agency’s preliminary analysis.

That followed a loss of 6,000 jobs in September, which is also a preliminary figure, as well as a decline of 26,000 jobs in August.

Every day, there are more layoff announcements in the news, and the number of people filing initial claims for unemployment benefits increased much more than experts were projecting last week…

The number of Americans filing for jobless benefits for the first time jumped significantly last week (from 225k to 242k – well above expectations of 220k) – the highest since the first week of October.

On an un-adjusted basis, claims exploded higher (highest since January)…

Throughout the second half of this year, I have been arguing that the U.S. economy is rapidly heading in the wrong direction.

Now we have even more confirmation that this is indeed happening.

Once we get past the holiday season, retailers are going to be dropping like flies.

According to the Daily Mail, it appears that Party City could soon be forced to declare bankruptcy…

A major party and craft retailer with 850 stores across the nation is considering filing for bankruptcy.

Party City has been faced with the possibility of mass closures just a little over a year after the company surfaced from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The celebration retailer, known for selling balloons and essential party supplies, is currently behind on rent at some of its locations, people close to the matter told Bloomberg.

And it is being reported that 670 Family Dollar stores have already been shut down…

Discount behemoth Dollar Tree has shuttered 670 of its underperforming Family Dollar stores so far, about two-thirds of the nearly 1,000 it plans to close, as it considers whether to sell or spin off the struggling chain.

The Chesapeake, Virginia-based retailer provided an update on its portfolio optimization efforts when it reported is fiscal third-quarter earnings. Dollar Tree officials also said they were still reviewing options for Family Dollar, with no set deadline or timeline to complete that process.

Overall, thousands upon thousands of retail stores in the U.S. have been shuttered in 2024, and thousands upon thousands will be shuttered in 2025.

In many areas of the country, the landscape is absolutely littered with once thriving businesses that have now been boarded up.

More than a decade ago, I warned that we were headed for a future when impoverished areas of the U.S. would be filled with boarded up businesses and abandoned buildings.

Now we are there.

On top of everything else, inflation is starting to surge once again, and one recent survey discovered that about a third of all U.S. households have been forced to cut back spending just to keep the lights on…

With the cost of things like food and housing still straining people’s budgets, many U.S. households over the past year have found themselves having to pare their spending on basic necessities just to keep the lights on at home.

That’s according to a recent Lending Tree study which analyzed U.S. Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey data from Aug. 20, 2024 to Sep. 16, 2024 to find the percentage of Americans 18 and older that had cut back on necessary expenses to pay their energy bill, kept their home at an unsafe or unhealthy temperature, or was unable to pay the full amount on an energy bill at least once over the preceding 12 months.

The study found that more than 34% of respondents said they have had to cut back or skip spending on certain necessary expenses at least once over the past year in order to pay their energy bill.

As I discussed the other day, prior to the election most Americans believed that we were already in a recession.

Since the election, conditions have only gotten worse.

Many are hoping that our economic momentum can be reversed once the new administration takes over.

We should all be hoping that is true.

But right now we are on a freight train that is steamrolling in the wrong direction, and that is not good news at all.

Macy's will close 65 stores within weeks - but not before huge clearance sale

READ MORE: Macy’s to exit upscale mall as chain's store closures continue

By DANIEL JONES, CONSUMER EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 14:33 EST, 12 December 2024 | Updated: 14:54 EST, 12 December 2024

Macy’s is ramping up store closures this year as it struggles to revive its faltering business.

In February, the embattled retailer announced plans to shut 150 underperforming stores within three years - including 55 closures by the end of 2024.

But the company now expects to close 65 locations by the end of the year. Bosses said they will remain open through the holidays to let regular customers shop but then shutter for good before the end of December.

Macy's has yet to announce exactly which stores will be affected, but employees are speculating whether their location could be on the chopping block. The latest to emerge is at the Kingston Collection mall in Massachusetts.

Once all 150 are shuttered, Macy's will be left with just 350 stores - a far cry from the peak of around 1,100 in 2008.

Like many department stores, Macy's has been suffering from dwindling sales amid the stratospheric rise of online rivals and the demise of America's suburban malls.

The company appointed a new CEO, Tony Spring, earlier this year, who announced a major turnaround effort.

Spring revealed the updated closure numbers during Macy's latest earnings on Wednesday, telling investors: ‘We now expect to close roughly 65 locations this year. Closures will occur post-holiday.’

Sales at the iconic department store chain - which also owns Bloomingdale's - fell by 2.4 percent in the quarter ending in November, the company also reported Wednesday. Macy's also significantly lowered its expected earnings for 2024.

Shares plummeted more than 12 percent Wednesday on the news, but have mostly recovered by Thursday lunchtime. They are still down 15 percent so far this year.

Adding to the turmoil, Macy’s is dealing with an accounting scandal involving a single employee who hid over $150 million in delivery expenses. The company insists this was a one-off but admits the error has cost them $79 million in their full-year outlook.

A retail expert told DailyMail.com that while there may be more store closures, Macy's still makes a profit and so was not a bankruptcy risk.

On this Wednesday's quarterly earnings, retail expert Neil Saunders - from GlobalData - said: 'Macy’s outlook is very mixed. There is still a big dose of decline in the numbers, but the chain isn’t at the bottom of the department store league table – which is positive.

'The numbers are not expected to strengthen significantly over the year ahead as the consumer economy remains pressured and Macy’s is in the middle of a turnaround program.

'There will certainly be store closures in the year ahead, but most of these have already been planned in.

'Macy’s might be struggling to generate growth, but the group is still generating profit and is in the black. As such, bankruptcy is not on the cards.'

Macy's is one of many retailers closing stores this year as the ongoing 'retail apocalypse' forces brick-and-mortar locations to grapple with rising theft and shrinking profit margins.

There were almost 2,600 store closures in the first four months of 2024. If that trend continues, almost 8,000 will have been lost by the end of the year.

It emerged in October that Walgreens will shutter more than 1,200 stores in bid to turn around struggling chain.

In the same month, Big Lots said it was shutting 500 stores across multiple states as its financial woes worsen.

Meanwhile, Badcock Home Furniture & More said at the end of July it is closing all its 380 stores dotted around the South after it fell into bankruptcy earlier this year.

Dollar stores have been hit hard too, with 99 Cents Only announcing in April it would shutter all 371 of its locations across California, Texas, Arizona and Nevada.

Family Dollar has said it will shut 1,000 stores under its own banner and that of sister company Dollar Tree over the next three years.

What If A Nuke Detonated In Los Angeles?

by Tyler Durden

Authored...

Submitted by Angel Studios,

As the Deep State continues its desperate push to cause as much chaos as possible before Trump takes office with the overthrow of Assad in Syria and deeper strikes into Russia causing Putin to loosen his nuclear weapons doctrine, Newsweek recently published a harrowing analysis showing the effect of a R-36M2 missile impact in major U.S. cities.

Also know as SS-18 "Satan", the nuclear-grade missile is a cornerstone of the Russian arsenal since the Soviet Union with a range of up to 10,000 miles and yield of 20 megatons (over 1,000x Hiroshima). Just one impact in any major U.S. city would dwarf America's WWII losses in minutes, to wit:

Washington, D.C.: Approximately 6.1 million people would be within the total blast range, with fatalities reaching 1.64 million. Capitol Hill would fall within the fireball radius being melted.

New York City: With an average of 16.3 million people present, fatalities could exceed 5.46 million. The destruction would extend to surrounding areas like New Brunswick and Stamford.

Chicago: Fatalities might approach 2 million, with Lake Michigan absorbing much of the fallout.

Houston: In this city, over 1.2 million deaths and 2 million injuries are estimated.

Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, and Dallas: Each city would suffer extensive casualties and injuries, with death tolls ranging from nearly 1 million in Phoenix to 1.6 million in Philadelphia.

Behind NYC, the most devastating metropolitan blast would occur in Los Angeles. Per Newsweek:

“Some 2,758,790 would die and 4,369,390 would be injured. In any given 24-hour period, there are on average 12,092,715 people in the full blast range (all four circles) of the simulated detonation. Thermal radiation would hit Santa Monica, Calabasas, Long Beach and parts of Pomona.”

Anyone within 2,360 square miles of the explosion (the thermal radiation radius: wider orange circle) would be at risk of suffering third-degree skin burns, "often painless because they destroy the pain nerves," which can cause severe scarring, disablement and require amputation.

Within the light blast damage radius (wider gray circle), 3,490 square miles from the blast, glass windows should be expected to break.

Thank you Victoria Nuland…

An LA-based nuclear blast is also the core plot of the new upcoming movie Homestead by Angel Studios. In 2023, Angel released Sounds of Freedom, which grossed $250 million against a $14.5 million budget. It has become one of the most successful independent films in history and exposed the horrors of child trafficking. Now they've returned with a not-so-cheery Christmas movie:

Map Shows Russian Missile Could Hit US Air Force Bases in Minutes

Published Dec 11, 2024 at 10:42 AM EST Updated Dec 12, 2024 at 1:27 PM EST

A map depicting the range of Russia's newly unveiled hypersonic missile suggests the weapon could strike U.S. military assets in Europe within minutes.

"Russia continues its efforts to intimidate Europe with Oreshnik," Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.

Gerashchenko posted a map, reportedly being shared across Telegram by Russian "propaganda" channels, which showed the approach time of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik—which translates to "hazel tree"—missile if launched from Belarus.

Russia continues its efforts to intimidate Europe with Oreshnik: propaganda Telegram channels post a map with the missile's approach time to targets in the West if launched from Belarus.

Newsweek has contacted the Belarusian and Russian Foreign Ministries, and the president's office of Belarus for comment.

According to the map, Oreshnik is capable of traveling from Brest, Belarus, to a U.S. Air Force base in southern Romania in 5.5 minutes and to another base in Poland in just 3.2 minutes. It also claims that the weapon could reach several European capitals within a comparable timeframe, including Paris and London, in less than nine minutes.

While the missile's reported range of 5,500 km (3,418 miles) would fall short of the distance from Belarus to the U.S. mainland, this would still allow it to reach U.S. military assets in Europe, as well as those in the Middle East and the Gulf states.

The ballistic missile was first unveiled on November 21, when it was launched at a military industrial facility in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

The new missile—which Ukraine's Defense Intelligence directorate said traveled from Astrakhan, Russia, in just 15 minutes—reportedly reached a top speed of over 11 Mach (8,400 miles per hour) before impact.

Hours after the strike, dubbed by Vladimir Putin a "successful test," the Russian president touted the capabilities of the weapon. He said that "no countermeasures currently exist" against the Oreshnik, which is able to "strike targets at a speed of Mach 10" or 3,430 meters per second.

"Modern air defense systems, including those being developed by the Americans in Europe, cannot intercept such missiles," he said during the television address, adding that Russia would "determine targets for future tests of our newest missile systems based on threats to Russia's national security," and that Russia considered it "our right to use our weapons against the military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities."

Concerns were again raised after the Russian president said that he would deploy the hypersonic Oreshniks in Belarus in 2025, in response to a request from Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, considered Putin's closest ally on the continent.

On Tuesday, Lukashenko said that "a few dozen" of the weapons had already been transferred to his country.

During a trip to a production facility in Borisov, Lukashenko said that MZKT, a state-owned tractor and heavy vehicle manufacturer, would be instructed to begin manufacturing launch systems for the Oreshnik missiles in the second half of 2025.

The pitchforks are here: Populist rage and the rise of moral absolutism

by Justin Williamson, opinion contributor - 12/12/24 10:30 AM ET

In 2014, billionaire Nick Hanauer warned in Politico that “The Pitchforks Are Coming … For Us Plutocrats.” He argued that extreme inequality inevitably leads to revolution, comparing it to bankruptcy — it happens slowly, then all at once. A single act of violence, he cautioned, could ignite years of simmering frustration into an inferno of uncontrolled fury.

When combined with a generation taught that disagreement itself constitutes harm, that warning seems perilously prophetic in the wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder.

Immediately following his assassination, something disturbing emerged. With breathtaking speed, celebration became the predominant response. Within hours, social media erupted not with horror or condemnation, but with declarations of justice served — some thinly veiled and others brazen in their glee.

His title alone was enough to warrant death in mind of some, with no pause to examine his actual record or consider the human cost — including the conversation his wife would have with their teenage sons.

These weren’t just scattered trolls or fringe activists. The approval came from suburban parents, office workers, writers, influencers, teachers and professors — the very people shaping future generations’ understanding of discourse and disagreement. Some of these same voices who argue that challenging their ideas constitutes violence were now celebrating actual violence without hesitation.

This isn’t occurring in isolation. The Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the 2020 racial justice protests that at times escalated into riots, and the approval some expressed for attempted political assassinations each reveal a society where disagreement has become synonymous with evil.

The Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel were even met with applause in more than a few quarters, including most absurdly on the campuses of our most elite universities, driven by a simplistic narrative that casts complex geopolitical conflicts in absolute terms of oppressor versus oppressed.

As Hanauer pointed out, the stratification of wealth and inequality set the stage, and the numbers behind our current populist rage are staggering. The wealthiest 1 percent now hold more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined, while wages for the average worker have stagnated for decades.

For millions, the cost of basic necessities — healthcare, housing and education — has become crippling. But equally staggering are developments in our schools and universities, where students whine that challenging their views is a form of harm, that intellectual discomfort is trauma, that disagreement invalidates their personhood.

This dehumanizing impulse revealed itself during the pandemic as well. Just as Thompson was reduced to his corporate title, neighbors were reduced to either “responsible citizens” or “selfish murderers” based on single observed moments. Scientific debate was recast as violence against the vulnerable.

In hindsight, we know some restrictions weren’t necessary and indeed harmful, but that debate was suppressed not just under the guise of protecting public health, but because we’d forgotten how to debate at all.

We’ve seen this pattern evolve through cancel culture, where complex individuals were reduced to their worst moment or most controversial statement. Digitally vilified and drawn-and-quartered. Critics warned that teaching people to respond to disagreement with demands for punishment and banishment rather than engagement would lead to darker places.

They were dismissed as alarmist. But the speed and consensus with which Thompson was deemed deserving of death — without any examination of his actual views or actions — shows how completely this mindset has taken hold.

Many Americans still insist revolutionary unrest “could never happen here” — perhaps the most dangerous delusion of all. Skeptics often point to 1968 as a modern analog — the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the riots at the Democratic Convention, the war protests and the violent police response — as evidence that America has weathered worse without collapsing.

But that ignores two crucial distinctions. First, 1968 fell during one of the greatest periods of economic expansion in U.S. history. Second, it was an era where political opponents could engage in substantive debate without being branded as existential threats.

Back then, young idealistic revolutionaries might have taken to the streets and even turned to violence, but many ultimately receded into conventional society, thanks to a strong middle class and genuine upward mobility. That economic engine, coupled with a belief in the power of dialogue to effect change, provided an escape valve that simply doesn’t exist today.

The rise of this moral absolutism — wherein debate is violence and disagreement is erasure — combined with unprecedented economic stratification, creates perfect conditions for actual violence to flourish.

When you teach people that words constitute violence while simultaneously stripping away paths to economic dignity, physical violence becomes not just self-defense but inevitable. When you insist that challenging ideas invalidates personhood while concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands, eliminating ideological opponents becomes a moral imperative.

The pitchforks aren’t just here — they’re being forged in our classrooms, sharpened on social media, and wielded by those we have taught that words are violence and debate is oppression.

Is it already too late? Perhaps. But averting the worst requires reclaiming abandoned principles.

We must restore not just economic opportunity, but the very possibility of good-faith disagreement. We must teach the next generation that challenging ideas isn’t violence — it’s how societies progress. We must embrace complexity and reject the false comfort of moral absolutes. Economic inequality must be addressed — not as a favor to the poor, but as a necessity for societal stability.

The warning signs are flashing red. Whether we heed them will determine not just America’s fate, but whether we can ever return to a society capable of solving problems through discourse rather than destruction.

James O’Keefe Investigates FEMA’s Response to the WNC Disaster (VIDEOS)

Daisy Luther December 12, 2024

18 Comments

In an uncommon (these days) act of objective journalism, James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas and now the CEO of OMG Media, has gone to Western North Carolina to investigate. He went to see who was telling the truth about the situation there: the federal government or the people struggling to survive in tents in freezing temperatures.

This isn’t the first time FEMA has been accused of not aiding the survivors of a disaster. The accusations of cold disinterest to downright negligence were also present after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Superstorm Sandy in the North Eastern states, and the terrible wildfire that ravaged Lahaina on Maui, Hawaii.

In each case, the story was the same. Victims of the disasters criticized FEMA’s lackluster responses and were accused by the media of spreading “harmful misinformation.”

“We don’t want to have an epidemic of people freezing to death,” a resident declared during the Buncombe County Commissioners meeting, voicing frustration over the slow pace of disaster relief in North Carolina. Another resident added, “I’ve never seen the lack of public officials coming out and actually trying to help,” reflecting the sentiment of abandonment felt by many in the community. Despite the mainstream media’s narrative of assistance, a resident revealed, “FEMA money runs out, and all the help I’ve seen has come from people out of state.” One FEMA employee even admitted, “Every delay means another night that a child sleeps in a car.”

@OKeefeMedia Group investigated these concerns, visiting FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers across the state to uncover the reality of Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Here are the videos he has released so far. You can judge for yourself.

Part 1:

“FEMA doesn’t want these people.”

Part 2:

O’Keefe Calls FEMA’s Mysterious ‘HAL’ Robot-Like Representative for Answers on Disaster Relief Response

Part 3:

O’Keefe Sneaks Into Emergency FEMA Locations, Exposes Empty Disaster Recovery Center

Who is helping the Helene victims?

The people who are actually helping are volunteers from across the country. They’re organizing the donations of campers and RVs, transporting them, and setting them up on peoples’ land, completely free of charge.

If you feel moved to help, the groups I recommend are:

Operation Shelter

Emergency RV

Operation Helo

What do you think?

How do you still feel hope when it seems like your own government cares more about the welfare of people in Ukraine, Lebanon, and Africa than it does suffering American citizens?

Do you believe O’Keefe’s reports, which are in line with the “conspiracy theories” put forth by locals? Or do you think the government is doing its best?

Missing American ‘pilgrim’ Travis Timmerman found in Syria after spending months locked up in prison

By Patrick Reilly Published Dec. 12, 2024 Updated Dec. 12, 2024, 7:34 a.m. ET

A scruffy, bearded man who identified himself as missing Missouri resident Travis Timmerman was found in Syria Thursday — and said he was imprisoned after traveling to the country “for spiritual purposes.”

Timmerman, 29, said he had spent more than half a year in the government prison when he was freed by rebel fighters armed with AK-47s on Monday as Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime fell.

“My door was busted down, it woke me up,” Timmerman told CBS.

“I thought the guards were still there, so I thought the warfare could have been more active than it ended up being … Once we got out, there was no resistance, there was no real fighting.”

Video of Timmerman posted Thursday by Turkish news agency Anadolu had initially sparked speculation that he could be American journalist Austin Tice, who vanished in 2012 while covering the anti-Assad uprising in Damascus at the beginning of the Syrian civil war.

Timmerman said he was detained seven months ago after entering Syria without permission when he crossed the border from Lebanon.

He had traveled from Europe to Lebanon for “spiritual purposes” — and described himself to NBC News as a religious “pilgrim.”

His experience in one of Syria’s notorious prisons “wasn’t too bad,” he said.

“I was never beaten. The only really bad part was that I couldn’t go to the bathroom when I wanted to. I was only let out three times a day to go to the bathroom,” he told CBS News.

He was found by journalists walking barefoot in the town of Dhiyabia outside the capital on Thursday as he headed toward Jordan.

Timmerman told CBS he had the chance to speak with his family on the phone three weeks ago while in prison.

Finally freed, he said he’s having more difficulty now trying to find a place to sleep at night in the streets, but people have been more than willing to assist him.

“I’m feeling well. I’ve been fed and I’ve been watered, so I’m feeling well,” Timmerman told CBS.

Earlier this year, authorities in Missouri and Budapest, Hungary, put out missing persons reports for a man named Pete Timmerman, whom Hungarian authorities identified as “Travis” Pete Timmerman, NBC reported.

The alert from the Missouri State Highway Patrol said Timmerman vanished in Budapest on May 28.

Budapest police said he was last spotted at a church and had “left for an unknown location.”

US officials are aware that Timmerman has been found and are working to provide support, CBS reported.

Where Are the Protests for Christians Slaughtered by Genocidal Jihadists in Nigeria?

"Up to 100 Nigerian Christians had been slaughtered since October."

By Rod Lampard Dec 12, 2024

While the threat of genocide from jihadists in Syria makes headlines, the genocide of Christians in Nigeria goes untouched, unnoticed, and unresolved.

Even self-important speculative bloggers, quick to leap for the ‘who’s to blame?’ dollar, appear to be more interested in bashing Israel, and the West than they are about securing Syria’s Christians.

Like Nigeria, if persecuted Christians cannot be exploited for political posturing, there’s no interest in Christians suffering.

Since Caldron Pool started covering the Islamist war on Nigeria’s Christians in 2019, little has changed.

As recently as Dec.1, 48 Christians were slaughtered after Fulani Muslims in central Nigeria’s Benue state gunned them down.

300-armed herdsman ‘attacked predominantly Christian communities in Logo and Katsina-Ala counties,’ reported Morning Star.

Community leader Joseph Anawah told the Christian persecution watchdog,

‘They overwhelmingly attacked our people, shooting anyone in sight.’

Although the Nigerian government promises to bring an end to the killings, World Watch Monitor said, Christians are still being targeted by Muslim herdsmen, and the jihadist group Boko Haram.

Up to 100 Nigerian Christians had been slaughtered since October.

Truth Nigeria said a lot of attacks are located in Benue, a 3-county area rich in farmland.

Muslim ‘Fulani-tribe terrorists, and local Tiv mercenaries hired by them, have been unleashing mayhem on the locals who are chiefly Catholic.’

‘Benue has been an ethnic killing zone for years.’

Last week, International Christian Concern (ICC), reported the murder of a pastor, and businesswoman, in two separate attacks.

Although witnesses identified the killers as Muslim, ‘authorities have only categorized the attackers as unidentified gunmen’ or ‘bandits.’

‘The latest attacks reflect a broader trend of violence against Christians in Taraba and surrounding states,’ ICC explained.

In one instance, ‘Oluwakemi Moses Konye, a pastor’s wife, was killed while travelling with her infant child.’

Many believe, ICC added, ‘that these targeted attacks indicate a concerning trend aimed at destabilizing Christian populations in Nigeria’s Northern and Central regions.’

Countering the soft-on-Islam government narrative, Morning Star said the killing of a Christian without provocation was a clear sign most attackers were Islamic.

There have been 750 attacks on churches, and other Christian buildings such as hospitals, schools, and cemeteries between Oct. 2022 and Sept. 2023.

‘Christian leaders in Nigeria have said they believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands, and impose Islam.’

This is made worse by hindrances to farming caused by ‘desertification,’ Morning Star concluded.

Without these Christian NGO news organisations, or X it’s doubtful news about what’s going on in Nigeria would have a platform.

Though thousands of Nigerian Christians have been displaced, maimed, and/or killed, there have been no Black Lives Matter Inc. protests shouting their name.

Antifa are nowhere to be seen.

University’s useful idiots, vacuously protesting to “end Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” while shouting for genocide, with “from the river to the sea,” are noticeably silent.

Legacy media coverage offers soft interviews or begrudging lip service.

Most Western politicians are simultaneously censoring Islam’s victims out of fear of being called “Islamophobic,” while prioritising aid for “Israel’s victims” instead.

With all eyes on Syria, and Black Lives Matter Inc.’s meltdown over justice for Daniel Penny, news about the ongoing suffering of Nigeran Christians barely registers.

Concern is contempt, and care is lost in a howl of hypocrisy.

Can Trump Save the Dollar?

12/11/2024 • Mises Wire • J.R. MacLeod

During his 2024 presidential campaign Donald Trump repeatedly and in grave terms highlighted the possibility of the US dollar losing its world reserve currency status. This occurred at summits with business leaders at the New York and Chicago Economic Clubs.

Trump occupies a rather unique position in this debate since he recognizes the real possibility of the dollar losing its world currency status, he opposes this change and wishes to prevent it, and yet he is not a paradigmatic member of the ruling class. However mainstream he is—today or in the past—he doesn’t possess the establishment credentials of a Ben Bernanke, for instance.

Since Trump doesn’t want the dollar to lose reserve currency status, his acknowledgment that this is a real possibility should at least serve as ammunition against those who are oblivious to this change, or who claim that it isn’t happening. Typically, when dollar defenders argue that the loss of reserve currency status is an impossibility, they are arguing against those who wish for this change to happen. When Trump says that the dollar could lose its reserve status—even though he opposes this change—it at least undercuts the factual basis of those dollar defenders who claim its status is secure.

Admittedly, the possible loss of reserve currency status is not a short-term trend. Anyone claiming the demise of the dollar is imminent—and particularly anyone trying to sell you a financial package on this basis—should be treated with skepticism. But there is a bizarre school of thought which downplays all blows to the dollar’s position, and claims that these events are insignificant. There are, in fact, many significant events occurring, and they are stacking up to present a real threat to the dollar’s position. Events such as Saudi Arabia trading oil in other currencies, BRICs countries developing a new payment system, and China rapidly decreasing its holdings of US treasuries. How can these events not mean anything?

If the dollar is in jeopardy, and Trump wants to save it, the question then becomes: can he save it? One approach to achieving this goal would be to manage the dollar more competently. This would involve less creation of new money (inflation), since many national economies were severely destabilized by the massive inflation of recent years. It would also involve a judicious, non-ideological use of dollar-based power, as opposed to weaponizing the dollar over conflicts where a nation perceives its fundamental interests are at stake, and the US interest is peripheral at best, and unjustified at worst. The other approach would be to get tough; to threaten countries who move away from holding the dollar for forex purposes with either economic or military power.

Trump has made noise about both approaches, though he seems to lean most heavily towards the use of tariffs to prevent nations from breaking away. In my view, the aggressive approach would only accelerate current trends, since this was the path taken from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 up until now, and it created the situation in the first place. A Trump administration managing the dollar the way it used to be managed could placate other nations and slow down current trends, but I think that is all it could do, rather than permanently halt and reverse these developments. A fundamental rupture has occurred and too many important nations perceive it as a fundamental interest to break the power of the dollar as the world reserve currency in the long term. They may be happier if this process is managed slowly and without disruption, but they are committed to it.

In my view, it is impossible for Trump to stop the process of de-dollarization. Regardless of how much success he is able to achieve, we should also ask whether this is the right goal in the first place. Undoubtedly the dollar losing global reserve currency status would cause significant short-term economic pain for the American people. Trump seems to have the noble intention of avoiding this pain, but we also know that markets can respond to these events and get the economy working again rather quickly when left alone. Beyond markets, there is also the calculation, by which the government could adjust the ratio of its gold holdings to the dollar (assuming implementation of a hard gold standard). This is explained by Murray Rothbard in the final chapter of The Case Against the Fed. In the event that the dollar loses its reserve status, this plan could very quickly restore the currency to a sound position.

It may seem noble to attempt to reinforce the reserve status of the dollar, but defending the Fed, the fiat dollar, and global reserve currency status are the economic equivalent of defending death by strangulation just because it’s slow. This currency system supports the bloated welfare-warfare functions of the government. It has hollowed out American industry by financialization and the fact that dollars can be created out of thin air to pay for goods and services domestically and abroad. This tremendously undercuts genuine production and wealth generation.

Because this system creates such an unnatural and unproductive economy, and though this economy has such pernicious effects on society, collapse is inherent in the system sooner or later. The longer the system lasts, the more rot sets in, and the worse the eventual collapse will be.

This discussion brings us to the subject of institutionalism. There is a powerful tendency in politics to regard an institution as one’s own, long after one’s own faction has lost it, or even where the institution never belonged to one’s own faction in the first place. Accompanying this is the tendency to want to reform institutions recognized as not aligned with one’s own faction, rather than destroy them.

Being unable to recognize when an institution is opposed to one’s political goals, and being unable to recognize when an opposing institution is irredeemably opposed to these goals and, therefore, not subject to reform, can prevent a faction from achieving its desired political goals. In these cases, all energy—by the fact of being directed into these institutions—is then redirected against the goals the political faction wishes to achieve.

According to Trump’s stated goals of wishing to revitalize the American economy on behalf of the American people—and not government or corporate special interests—the Federal Reserve and the fiat dollar it supports are irredeemable institutions. Trying to reform and reinforce the status of the dollar as global reserve currency will never achieve these goals. People may be able to point to this or that improvement in economic conditions over the next few years, but I am talking about systemic change and a lasting victory. It is hard to argue that these aren’t necessary over and above small improvements.

Between the Biden administration inadvertently and obliviously endangering the global reserve currency status of the dollar through its own incompetence, and Trump’s intention to undo this damage, there is a better path. Any future American administration should create a plan to manage the transition away from the fiat dollar as global reserve currency towards a national gold dollar, that is, a national policy of a 100 percent gold-backed dollar, where other countries are free to set their own monetary policy. This would vastly improve the American economy as well as international relations.

15 Big Grocery Stores Collapsing All Around Us

Epic Economist

With grocery prices at record highs, you might think that grocery chains are making loads of money right now. While some of them have strong business models and are doing well in this environment, several others have never recovered from the losses they faced during the pandemic or even earlier.

In the past couple of years, many grocers have filed for bankruptcy to restructure their debt, faced changes in leadership, or been sold out to larger corporations, but these measures were no guarantee of success and that their core problems have been solved. Especially now that U.S. consumers are looking for the best deals they can find and competition is growing.

At the moment, many big grocery chains are finding themselves at a crossroads, navigating through uncertain times and staring at the possibility of disappearing from the market. Although some of them still have hundreds of stores open, others are closer to annihilation, with so few locations left that you can count them on your fingers.

U.S. Government ROBS $20 Billion from Russia Funds

Hal Turner World December 11, 2024 Hits: 12461

The U.S. just STOLE, and sent, $20 billion to Ukraine, using cash from frozen Russian assets.

Russia’s reaction? Calling it “simply robbery” and threatening to snatch Western assets in return.

Moscow is accusing the U.S. of cooking up “Russophobic” moves before Biden hands over the White House.

The U.S. says the funds fulfill a G7 promise to back Ukraine’s fight against Russia, and Moscow is not taking it lightly.

Hal Turner Editorial Opinion

There is no authority under US law or under International law, for one country to "seize" the sovereign wealth funds of any other country, whether there is a war going on (Ukraine) or not.

The US just did exactly that.

This is outright theft. Brought to you by the same people who just overthrew the government of Syria last weekend.

Miscreants, Murderers and Thieves: That is the United States Federal Government.

The Quiet Before The Storms That Are Brewing As Biden Is Inserting American Tax Dollars Into Yet Another Country By Funding Terrorist Groups Who Hate America

- Warmongers never learn their lesson

By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline  December 11, 2024

Some ANP readers have noticed a lack of real "news," as the traditional liberal media industrial complex is spending the majority of their time attempting to smear Donald Trump's cabinet picks.

Don't get me wrong, they report on what is happening in Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, but the majority of what they seem to consider their job, is to derail any nominee Trump wants in his cabinet. The smears come from unnamed sources, reporting "allegations" as if a claim is the same as a fact, and basically joined at the hip with Democrats as the "opposition party."

This is not "new" news, but a pattern of behavior over the past few decades, that has shown confidence and trust levels by the American people, toward the MSM, dwindling with each move to the left they have taken.

We remind them of that every time we, Independent Media collectively, cover topics the media is unwilling to focus on until they are forced to as they try to take over the narrative to spin it in a manner that reflects badly on conservatives and better for liberals.

I bring this up yet again because below we are going to cover a few stories the MSM is either downplaying, ignoring, or spinning madly in order to misinform the American public.

The wars across the globe are being reported, but the media doesn't bother to inform the American public of the ramifications to them if we see war on U.S. soil. The so-called "resistance" to Trump's agenda is also being downplayed by the media, perhaps they are hoping for a shock effect on inauguration day.

PLEASE HELP ANP - With attacks against Independent Media, contributions to help keep voices that counter the "official narrative" is critical Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)

WAR, MORE WAR AND THE AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS....

Recent reports indicate that the U.S. is planning to fund two terrorist groups in Syria, more money thrown at our enemies in an attempt to try to control what happens in Syria.

Those weapons, money, and anything else sent to these terrorist groups, will assuredly be used against the U.S. at some point....mark my words.

That funding is also on top of the hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars already sent, and more to be sent, to Ukraine. All while Americans are trying to figure out how to eat three meals a day and pay their bills.

Disgraced U.S. Intel agencies are warning that Russia is preparing to use their new hypersonic lethal intermediate-range ballistic missile for a second time in Ukraine.

Within hours of the attack on the military facility, Russian President Vladimir Putin took the rare step of speaking on national TV to boast about the new, hypersonic missile. He warned the West that its next use could be against Ukraine’s NATO allies who allowed Kyiv to use their longer-range missiles to strike inside Russia.

Considering America is one of those allies, one would think the media would at least attempt to inform U.S. citizens of how to prepare for an attack on American soil, but they don't.

Independent Media readers will survive the aftermath of an attack on U.S. soil, far better than those allowing themselves to be dumbed down by the media.

If America is directly attacked, it will affect our ability to get gas for our generators, so those that have the means, should definitely get a solar generator. When was the last time anyone reading this remembers the media warning you about gas powered generators being ineffective when gas runs low and becomes too expensive to continue using your generator?

Never?

Frankly I don't think they care since the media has been part of the depopulation agenda from the start.

THE RESISTANCE......

A look at what is happening closer to home, as in the U.S., the media is leading the charge with their smear campaigns against Trump's nominations, deliberately trying to incite liberals into taking rash actions. They are also downplaying the "resistance" movement that began against Trump back after he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Doing so offers them an opportunity, they think, because if the protests on inauguration day are smaller, they can say "see we told you," and if they become out of control, they will gleefully claim it was a grass roots movement, a surprise, and "unexpected."

The local DC Fox News affiliate reports that "DC readies for Trump inauguration with massive security plans."

Smith added Tuesday, that the department is also tracking other potentially large-scale events.

"Currently, we’re tracking I think four major…if you want to call it…major events as it relates to First Amendment activity. As you know, this is nothing new to the MPD. We handle large protests and demonstrations, not just coming on the heels of a January 6th certification of the elections and inauguration, but we do this year-round," she said. "We signed up for this job. We understand the risks are and what’s associated with this, and as with any protests and demonstrations, we will be prepared to address what comes with that."

We also have direct threats of action from some that appear harmless, yet after multiple assassination attempts against Trump even before the election, appearances are deceiving.

On the Instagram account of videomattpresentsofficial, we see the following note, with the video itself beneath the note.

Lib's Dramatic Bid to Disrupt Trump's 2025 Inauguration

In an audacious move, a liberal activist, referred to only as "Lib," has publicly solicited help to gain access to the stage during Donald Trump's anticipated 2025 presidential inauguration. His goal is not to celebrate the transition of power but to confront and challenge what he perceives as Trump's detrimental vision for America's future. Lib's call to action has stirred significant reaction online, with supporters viewing it as a necessary protest and critics seeing it as an attempt to undermine the democratic process. This incident raises questions about the boundaries of protest, the sanctity of presidential inaugurations, and the deep political divide in the U.S. The discussion around Lib's plan reflects broader tensions about free speech, political activism, and the role of public disruption in political discourse.

Here is the weirdo's original video:

Next up is from the Answer Coalition's "National day of action Jan. 20: PROTEST on Inauguration Day -- We Fight Back!

This fight starts right now. Tens of thousands of people are taking action on January 20th all across the country. Join this new national movement. Find a demonstration or an action near you, organize one in your area, and share the call.

Yup, the crazies are back and most of the media are ignoring them because they are too focused on smearing Trump's cabinet picks.

Rockefeller Chair Warns US Stock Market Will See Catastrophic Crash

December 11, 2024

Rockefeller International Chair, Ruchir Sharma, warned the US stock market will see a catastrophic crash. He also warned “America is over-owned, overvalued, and overhyped to a degree never seen before,” and compared today’s jubilation to the Roaring 1920s, which was followed by the Great Depression. King World News agrees with his assessment and cautions investors to get prepared.

Prepare For Collapse

December 11 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: The Happy Days in America keep getting happier since Donald Trump won the race to the White House.

The University of Michigan’s monthly survey of consumer confidence registered 74.0 at the beginning of December, jumping from 71.4 in November to reach its highest level since May and beating economists’ estimates of 73.0.

Confidence rose among Republican voters and declined among Democrats. Independents split between the two.

We note this survey because it is more than another nod to the partisan divide.

The survey director Joanne Hsu said the numbers reflect the collective economic experiences and observations of respondents, and that “Democrats voiced concerns that anticipated policy changes, particularly tariff hikes, would lead to a resurgence of inflation,” while “Republicans expect the next president to usher in an immense slowdown in inflation.”

Putting their money where their minds are, U.S. consumers’ surging confidence was accompanied by a rise in sales of durable goods—items expected to last at least three years.

Yet, Hsu said the higher sales were not a vote of confidence in the economy, but, instead, consumers are buying more products now because they expect inflation to continue and are buying now to avoid paying higher prices later.

We disagree.

Trump’s election victory has brought more of an upbeat economic vibe to the general public rather than a more-of-the-same if Kamala Harris was elected.

Yet, in reality, more people have less money to spend.

The U.S. Commerce department reported that in October, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $73.84 billion, compared to $83.3 billion in September.

The average U.S. monthly trade deficit this year through October is $80.7 billion, 12.3 percent above that during the same stretch in 2023…

Further illustrating the global economic contractions, October’s exports fell 16 percent compared to September’s to $265.72 billion. Imports dropped 4 percent to $339.56 billion.

A slight gain in exported services, including travel and intellectual property, was negated by a drop in shipment of goods. Exports of computer accessories shrank by $1.2 billion and passenger cars by $1.3 billion.

Computer imports were off by $3.7 billion and cars, engines, and parts by $1.6 billion.

Downbeat or Upbeat?

Yet, as evidenced by the U.S. equity markets and its economy, as the old saying goes: “We’re #1.”

Rockefeller Chair Warns US Stock Market Will Crash

Indeed, in last week’s Financial Times the Chairman of Rockefeller International Ruchir Sharma said investors around the world were pumping more money into U.S. equities at the highest levels ever recorded. He said that back in the 1980s, U.S. companies accounted for just 30 percent of the global stock index, but now it’s up to 70 percent… even though the U.S. Gross Domestic Product accounts for only 27 percent of the world’s GDP.

Warning that the “Awe of ‘American exceptionalism’ in markets has now gone too far,” he also noted that so far this year, foreign capital has poured in over $1 trillion into the U.S. debt markets, while less than half of that has gone into the Eurozone sector.

He wrote that “In the past, including the roaring 1920s and the dotcom era, a rising U.S. market would lift other markets,” but “Today, a booming U.S. market is sucking money out of the others.”

Warning of another dot.com bust and market panic he noted that “Talk of bubbles in tech or AI, or in investment strategies focused on growth and momentum, obscures the mother of all bubbles in U.S. markets,” and that “Thoroughly dominating the mind space of global investors, America is over-owned, overvalued, and overhyped to a degree never seen before.”

The Other Side

Seeing no “bubble” danger ahead, on the upside, Deutsche Bank projects that next year the S&P 500 will hit 7,000, Bank of America predicts 6,666, Barclay says 6,600 while JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs forecast it will close the year at 6,500. Today the S&P closed up at 6,034.

And again, on “The Other Side” is the other economic downside of the world which we have greatly detailed in this and previous Trends Journals.

And just yesterday, China reported that imports fell nearly 4 percent… which equals more Chinese people buying less products because they are making less money. On the export side, the projections were that outbound shipments would rise by 12.7 percent, but they rose just 6.7 percent.

In hopes of trying to prop up the economy which the government destroyed as a result of its three years of zero COVID policy, which destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions, China’s Politburo loosened monetary policy on Monday for the first time in 14 years.

While the announcement pushed Hong Kong’s Hang Seng China Enterprises stock index up 3.14 percent yesterday, today, the Hang Seng was flat. We forecast the Politburo money scheme will help juice the overall economy, but not enough to salvage the damage caused by their COVID war policies that destroyed the real estate market which accounts for some 30 percent of China’s Gross Domestic Product.

TREND FORECAST:

And as we have detailed in this and previous Trends Journals, there is a global economic slowdown and we forecast a bad situation will become much worse.

In trying to reverse this downtrend, central banks will lower interest rates which will in turn juice inflation. And, the higher inflation rises, the higher gold prices will rise as investors seek safe-haven assets.

On the “upside,” the U.S. economy, which is outperforming the rest of the world, will stay strong in at least the first year of Donald Trump’s administration. As we have forecast in the past and continue to forecast, President Trump’s primary interest is “The economy, stupid.” Therefore, he will do all he can to keep propping it up.

US strikes dozens of ISIS camps and operatives in Syria amid Assad's downfall

Assad fled Syria on Saturday and was granted asylum by Russia

Greg Wehner By Greg Wehner Fox News Published December 8, 2024 4:25pm EST

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted dozens of airstrikes on known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria on Sunday to prevent the terrorist organization from taking advantage of the demise of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s regime.

After Assad’s family ruled over Syria for more than 50 years, Assad was forced to flee Syria to Russia, where he was granted asylum, when a coalition of largely radical Islamist groups led a sweeping offensive across Syria and captured the country’s capital city.

CENTCOM announced on Sunday that it has conducted strikes against ISIS leaders, operatives and camps as part of an ongoing mission to "disrupt, degrade and defeat ISIS."

Specifically, CENTCOM is working to prevent the terrorist group from conducting operations to ensure ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.

During the operation, CENTCOM forces struck over 75 targets using U.S. Air Force assets like B-52s, F-15s and A-10s.

Damage assessments are currently underway, CENTCOM said, and there are no indications any civilians were killed in the operations.

CENTCOM also said it, along with regional allies and partners, will continue to carry out operations to hinder ISIS’s operational capabilities during this "dynamic period in Syria."

"There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," General Michael Erik Kurilla said. "All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way."

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Sunday that the people of Syria "finally have reason for hope," adding the U.S. "strongly supports a peaceful transition of power to an accountable Syrian government" through a Syrian-led process that is inclusive.

"The Assad regime’s refusal since 2011 to engage in a credible political process and its reliance on the brutal support of Russia and Iran led inevitably to its own collapse," Blinken said. "During this transitional period, the Syrian people have every right to demand the preservation of state institutions, the resumption of key services, and the protection of vulnerable communities."

The secretary also said the U.S. would be closely monitoring developments as they unfold in the region and will support international efforts to hold the Assad regime and its backers accountable for "atrocities and abuses" against the people of Syria.

Blinken noted the atrocities included the use of chemical weapons.

"We have taken note of statements made by rebel leaders in recent days, but as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words, but their actions," Blinken said. "We again call on all actors to respect human rights, take all precautions to protect civilians, and to uphold international humanitarian law."

Assad arrives in Moscow, is granted asylum by Russia

Assad fled Syria Saturday as rebels closed in on Damascus

By Michael Lee Fox News  Published December 8, 2024 1:34pm EST

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, who fled the country Saturday as rebels closed in on the capital of Damascus, has arrived in Moscow and has been granted asylum by the Russian government, according to Russian News Agency Tass.

Speculation about where Assad might land has been widespread since the longtime dictator fled the country, with allies such as Iran and Russia being at the top of the list.

Assad was forced to flee the country after a coalition of largely radical Islamist groups led a sweeping offensive across Syria, culminating in the capture of the country's capital city and the fall of Assad's regime, which had seen his family rule Syria for over 50 years.

The offensive was the latest development in a bloody civil war that has ravaged Syria for almost 14 years, a war that also led to the rise of the Islamic State terrorist organization and year slong interventions by countries such as the United States, Russia, Iran and Turkey.

Assad has been a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had for more than a decade dedicated military resources to the defense of Assad's regime and its government forces.

Assad now arrives in Russia with his family, according to an Interfax news agency report, citing a Kremlin source.

"President Assad of Syria has arrived in Moscow. Russia has granted them (him and his family) asylum on humanitarian grounds," the source told the outlet.

Assad reportedly sought help from Israel in confronting rebel groups – Israel demanded Iran first be expelled

As Syria conflict continues, Kurdish groups make push to strengthen positions

All Israel News Staff | Published: December 3, 2024

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad asked Israel for help in confronting the advance of opposition Islamist rebel groups besieging his forces, Saudi newspaper Elaph reported Monday. Describing it as “a notable development,” Elaph cited an intelligence official who confirmed Assad's request for assistance against the opposition groups.

The intelligence official told Elaph that the message was relayed to an Israeli security agency through an Assad ally in Europe.

The official said that Israel responded by stating it was not particularly concerned with what was happening in Syria, but that it would first require the expulsion of all Iranian elements, including militias from Syria, before considering any assistance.

Syrian opposition groups, many directly or indirectly funded by external actors, including Turkey, launched a large-scale offensive several days ago aimed at recapturing Aleppo and its villages. The groups, led by Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) [a Sunni Islamist faction], managed to seize control of most of Aleppo before advancing toward other Syrian cities and towns like Hama, before being halted by Assad's regrouped forces with support from Russian fighter jets.

Syrian government forces have fully withdrawn from the areas around Aleppo, which are now under opposition control. According to reports, the Syrian army was not heavily present in Hama before the offensive, with Iranian elements and proxy militias maintaining the largest presence in the area.

According to the security official, Assad is relying on Israel's predictable security stance toward his regime, in contrast to the uncertain position of opposition groups regarding Israel.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has stated that Israel views the Kurds as natural allies in the region.

“The Kurdish people are a great nation, one of the great nations without political independence,” Sa’ar said at the handover ceremony marking his assuming the office of foreign minister. "They are our natural ally.” Sa’ar has also said that Israel “must reach out and strengthen our ties with them.”

So far, Kurdish resistance groups have largely focused their attention on combating Islamist rebel groups that threaten them and on providing security and stability in Kurdish-dominated areas against Turkish-funded opposition groups such as the Syrian National Army (SNA) and HTS.

At press time, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led opposition group, announced it had begun an operation aimed at capturing seven villages on the east bank of the Euphrates River that had been held previously by Assad with the help of Iranian militias.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government is “constantly following” the situation in Syria and taking action to protect Israel’s interests.

Israel prepares for Assad regime collapse as clashes erupt within sight of Israeli border in southern Syria

Rebel groups attack regime forces in Daraa province, near Israeli Golan Heights

All Israel News Staff | Published: December 6, 2024

The State of Israel is preparing for the possible collapse of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as Islamist rebel forces in northern Syria continued their lightning advance by capturing the city of Hama on Thursday and reaching the outskirts of Homs on Friday.

Meanwhile, new clashes erupted on Friday, partially within sight of Israel's border with Syria along the Golan Heights, as rebel groups seized control of several towns and military checkpoints in the Daraa province.

On Thursday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an urgent security assessment to discuss the rapidly unfolding events in Syria, Israel's northeastern neighbor. The IDF also stated that Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi held a situational assessment with the army’s top brass.

“The IDF follows the events and is prepared for any scenario in attack and defense,” the army said. “The IDF will not allow a threat near the Syrian-Israeli border, and will work to thwart any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.”

According to Israeli media reports, prior to the rebels reaching the outskirts of Homs and capturing towns in southern Syria, the IDF assessed that the Syrian regime was in real danger of collapse – a scenario that has become increasingly likely in recent hours.

Channel 12 reported that Israeli intelligence was surprised by the rapidity of the collapse of the Syrian army. “The Syrian military forces are not really fighting,” an Israeli official told the Axios news outlet.

“We don't think the regime is in immediate danger, but this is the biggest challenge for the Assad regime in the last decade,” he added.

On Thursday, al-Arabiya news carried a so-far unconfirmed report, citing an Israeli political source claiming Israel would “establish a buffer zone inside Syria” if the city of Homs fell to the rebels.

Israel shared its concerns with the Biden administration about the potential takeover of Syria, either by radical Islamists or by additional Iranian-backed militia forces, a U.S. official told Axios.

Syrian reports claimed on Thursday morning that Israeli airstrikes had destroyed caches containing advanced weapons in northern Syria to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Islamist rebel groups.

On Friday, the rebel groups led by the Islamist Hay’at Tahrir al-Shams (HTS), an ideological offshoot of al-Qaeda and ISIS, continued their rapid advance south and captured towns on the outskirts of Homs. Their presence threatens to cut off a major highway connecting the capital Damascus with the coastal areas, which serve as the Assad regime’s Alawite support base.

After renewed clashes that focused on northern Syria for almost a week, on Friday, the uprising reached areas near the Israeli Golan Heights. The clashes were so far centered in the area of Nawah, a city only 10 km (6 miles) from Israel.

According to Abdo Jabassini, an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University whose research focuses on southern Syria, rebels captured an army post west of Nawah, only 10 km (about 6 miles) from the border. In the city itself, armed groups imposed a curfew after “they stormed the police station, detained the police officers, and seized all weapons.”

More clashes were reported in and around the province capital of Daraa, called the “Cradle of the Syrian Revolution” where the uprising began in March 2011. In the nearby town of Dael, video footage showed the flag of the revolution raised in a public square.

“Calls have been made for military conscripts in Daraa and Quneitra provinces to defect, with guarantees of safety and security extended to those who comply,” Jabassini wrote on ?. “Multiple defections of members from security apparatuses have reportedly occurred in Daraa province.”

More clashes and uprisings took place in Ghabagheb, Jasim, Inkhil and several other towns in close proximity to the Israeli border.

A source from the Druze town of Suweidah, some 65 km (40 miles) from the Israeli border, told Kan News that the Syrian Druze community would not allow HTS to enter their area, known as the Druze Mountain.

“The international community and Israel in particular should pay attention to what is happening in southern Syria,” he said.

Channel 13 reported that Israeli representatives already sent messages to rebel leaders to keep away from the Israeli border.

Hamas counting number of living hostages, hostage deal negotiations enter 'final' phase - report

Hostage deal negotiations have been reported to enter a new and "final" phase, sources told Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar.

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF  DECEMBER 7, 2024 09:00  Updated: DECEMBER 7, 2024 09:23

Hamas is attempting to determine the number of living Israeli hostages it and other terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip are holding, Palestinian sources told Saudi-owned news outlet Asharq Al-Awsat on Saturday.

The sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that Hamas leadership reached out to other groups to assess the number of living hostages.

The report comes as sources told the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that hostage deal negotiations have been reported to enter a new and "final" phase.

Plans for Gaza's 'day after'

An Egyptian source told the Lebanese outlet that "several points are still pending" regarding the plan for Gaza after the war ends, specifically managing and rebuilding the Gaza Strip.

Ongoing contact with the Qataris has taken a positive turn in the past two days, Al-Akhbar added.

Additional topics that are reportedly on the table in negotiations are the IDF's presence in the Gaza Strip and the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.

This is a developing story.

Bombshell report details exactly how banks worked with Biden officials to spy on pro-Trump Americans

READ MORE: Biden admits surveilling citizens' private financial transactions

CLICK HERE: Sign up for DailyMail.com's daily U.S. politics newsletter

By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 17:14 EST, 6 December 2024 | Updated: 18:04 EST, 6 December 2024

The Biden administration has gotten banks to let them 'spy' on the everyday purchases and money transfers of Americans, carrying out millions of searches without getting a warrant typically required for such snooping, a stunning new Congressional report charges.

The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government just released its damning findings, which the panel found skews heavily toward surveillance of Americans inclined to support President-elect Donald Trump.

'The federal government is spying on your bank account,' the Republican-led panel posted in a video on X summarizing its 47-page report.

'The federal government has conditioned financial institutions to work for them,' another alarming slide on the video reads.

What the video seeks to explain is the complex and convoluted process in which major financial firms, like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase and more have all handed over their customer's data to the government for free.

'The next time you swipe your [bank or credit] card know that someone may be watching,' the subcommittee video eerily adds.

This data can include the location, date and description of transactions, making it easy for the government to compile an understanding of where people go, what they buy and what activities they spend their time on.

After receiving this data, the FBI created an internal portal, where employees could search these typically private transactions and profiles could then be made on individual citizens of concern, like those who have shopped at Cabela's or purchased a Bible, the panel claims.

Over 14,000 federal employees accessed that sensitive financial data in 2023 during which the subcommittee claims 3.3 million 'warrantless searches' were made.

The Weaponization Chair Jim Jordan has said that conservatives and Christians were the target of surveillance in the wake of January 6

Bank of America sent the private financial data of customers to federal officials to help them investigate crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol protest. The bank cooperated and sent over data that was later used to create profiles on Americans, the committee claims

The report highlights the detailed specifics of how the committee was able to uncover such federal monitoring.

The panel's Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was first tipped off to this financial surveillance in 2023 when an FBI whistleblower alerted them to how the feds were using their influence to coerce banks into handing over access to the private transaction data following the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol.

Retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill told the committee 'that following the events of January 6, 2021, Bank of America, voluntarily and without legal process, provided the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a list of names of all individuals who used a BoA credit or debit card in the Washington, D.C. region around that time.'

But it wasn't just Bank of America.

At least 13 financial institutions were investigated by the Republican-controlled panel for colluding with the federal government to spy on Americans after the January 6 riot.

The banks and feds justified such queries by claiming they were looking for purchases that could identify someone as an extremist.

The Biden administration worked with banks to comb through 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP,' according to shocking revelations by the committee.

Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank and Truist were all investigated in the probe looking to expose how the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the FBI worked together.

Charles Schwab, HSBC, MUFG, PayPal, Santander, Standard Chartered and Western Union were all also investigated.

The House Judiciary Committee revealed in January that officials at the U.S. Treasury circulated a memo instructing financial institutions how to spot extremism indicators like purchasing travel to Washington, D.C. or religious texts around the time of January 6, 2021

According to investigators, FinCEN and the FBI received data on 211 individuals from the Bank of America in a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) on January 17, 2021.

But the SAR was only sent after the FBI and FinCEN - the feds - asked U.S. banks to scour customer transactions for key terms like 'MAGA' and 'Trump' to identify 'extremism' in a memo distributed in the aftermath of Jan. 6.

The federal agencies provided the financial institutions 'thresholds' for which an SAR should be raised, according to Peter Sullivan, the FBI's former financial sector liaison.

According to the 'threshold' set by the FBI and FinCEN, Bank of America then sent them the data of the 211 individuals.

Jordan and the panel were concerned the practice was widespread, with federal employees prompting many banks to freely send over private data.

When pressed on the Treasury's FinCEN materials circulated to top financial institutions during a February congressional hearing, Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen dodged lawmakers' questions, responding once, 'I promise a thorough look into everything.'

The federal agencies provided the financial institutions 'thresholds' for which an SAR should be raise, according to Peter Sullivan, the FBI's former financial sector liaison

The committee also obtained documents indicating officials suggested that banks query purchases with keywords such as 'Dick's Sporting Goods' could be markers of extremism

In the aftermath of January 6, FinCEN even suggested that banks review transactions at sporting and recreational supplies stores like Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops in order to detect customers who might be 'extremists.'

In March, Jordan sent letters to GoFundMe and Eventbrite asking that they cooperate with committee's ongoing investigation.

House Republicans say that the federal government urged the crowdfunding platforms to 'comb' through their personal transactions 'report charges on the basis of protected political and religious expression.'

The federal government also created 'profiles' on the American people kept in a 'secret portal' shared with companies to identify customers' levels of extremism, Jordan has said.

That interface is shared between over 650 companies and federal officials, Jordan has claimed.

'The federal government is building profiles on the American people. And the profile is not based criminal conduct, it's based on political belief,' Jordan said at the time.

'And if you've got the wrong political beliefs, well you're potentially a domestic violent extremist.'

Costco Insider EXPOSES Products Disappearing From Shelves!

Epic Economist  597K subscribers  30,182 views Dec 6, 2024

Costco customers are familiar with the frustration of wanting to stock up on their favorite Costco products only to find out that they have been discontinued or are out-of-stock. Unfortunately, this happens pretty regularly at the chain's warehouses, and in the coming weeks shelves will look even emptier, according to a new announcement made by the company last week.

Typically, when the warehouse retailer faces shortages it may be because there were disruptions in manufacturing, delivery delays, or prices have risen way too high to keep in line with the company’s low-cost brand. When products are discontinued it is often because they were limited edition or weren't selling well.

Then again, it could just be that the retailer wants to create a sense of urgency and encourage shoppers to embark on its infamous Costco grocery treasure hunts.

Down the supply chain, manufacturers and food processors are coping with declining agricultural and livestock production as well as labor shortages and rampant operational costs.

As we were warned by experts and economists several times in the past, grocery inflation and shortages will be stickier than government officials have predicted.

Sadly, this means Americans will have to get used to spending more on food and seeing their favorite essentials vanishing from sight.

Putin says Belarus will receive Russia's new Oreshnik missiles, with Lukashenko left to 'determine targets'

By DAVID AVERRE and REUTERS

Published: 09:34 EST, 6 December 2024 | Updated: 11:58 EST, 6 December 2024

Russia could deploy its new Oreshnik intermediate-range hypersonic missile on the territory of its ally Belarus in 2025, Vladimir Putin has declared.

The Russian President was responding to a request by his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko at a summit in Minsk, where the two leaders signed a mutual defence pact today.

'As for the possibility of deploying such, frankly speaking, formidable weapons as the Oreshnik on the territory of Belarus: since we have today signed an agreement on security guarantees using all available forces and means, I consider the deployment of such systems as the Oreshnik on the territory of the Republic of Belarus to be feasible,' Putin said.

'I think this will become possible in the second half of next year, as serial production of these systems in Russia increases and as these missile systems enter service with the Russian strategic forces,' he added in televised comments.

Russia fired the Oreshnik at a Ukrainian city last month in what Putin described as a first test of the weapon in combat conditions.

He has boasted that it is impossible to intercept, and that it has massive destructive power, even when fitted with a conventional warhead.

Some Western experts are sceptical about Putin's claims for the missile, which they say is based on a system that Russia had at one point tested as an intercontinental weapon before putting its development on ice.

Putin told Lukashenko that Belarus - which shares borders with NATO members Poland, Latvia and Lithuania - would determine the targets for Oreshniks based on its territory.

The two men met in the Belarusian capital on Friday to mark the 25th anniversary of the Union State, a borderless union and alliance between the former Soviet republics.

Putin said the mutual defence treaty 'will make it possible to reliably protect the security of Russia and Belarus, thus creating conditions for further peaceful and sustainable development of the two states,' according to TASS state news agency.

The Kremlin leader approved changes last month which lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike on Russia and extended Moscow's nuclear umbrella to cover Belarus.

Nuclear weapons were withdrawn from Belarus after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, but Putin announced last year that Russia was placing tactical nuclear missiles there as a deterrent to the West.

Lukashenko, in power in Belarus since 1994, said in October that any use of Russian nuclear weapons now deployed in Belarus would require his personal assent.

Superfast Russian fighter jet seen carrying hypersonic Kinzhal missile during drills

Abhishek Bhardwaj  Fri, December 6, 2024 at 4:19 PM UTC 3 min read

In a surprising new development, a specialized Russian MiG-31 aircraft – also called by NATO as Foxhound – has been seen carrying a hypersonic missile.

The MiG-31 interceptor is one of the fastest manned jet aircrafts in the world, and it is known to reach speeds of around Mach 2.83 – which is almost three times the speed of sound.

Developed by Mikoyan, the MiG-31 was first introduced in 1982 – making it a Cold War-era plane.

The MiG-31I – which was reported to be carrying the hypersonic Kinjhal missile – is an upgraded version of the jet.

The addition of hypersonic weapon carrying capacity will further boost the combat range and strike ability of the Russian forces.

Mig-31 jets carrying hypersonic missiles

Russian news agency TASS reported that MiG-31I will be taking part in the joint drills being organized by the Navy and Aerospace Forces in the eastern Mediterranean.

The report was based on a statement from Russia’s defense ministry.

The exercise involved over 1,000 personnel, 10 ships and support vessels, 24 aircraft, including MiG-31I fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces carrying Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, and a Bastion coastal defense missile system crew,

The three-day drills came to an end on December 3, and it saw the Russian taskforce built up its capabilities in the eastern Mediterranean.

Some combat exercises involve the comprehensive use of precision weapons and the latest armaments accepted for service with the Russian Navy and Aerospace Forces recently, the ministry said.

Kinzhal or Dagger

Kinzhal (also called Dagger) is one of the six "next generation" weapons that Russian President Vladimir Putin had unveiled in 2018, claiming that no air defense system in the world can shoot it down.

It is a nuclear-capable missile with a reported range of 932 to 1242 miles (1500-2000 kilometers).

It is widely believed that its design concept is based on the ground-launched Iskander-M short-range ballistic missile which Russia has been using since long.

As per reports, the missile travels at speeds of Mach 4 (3044 mph), and can even reach top speeds of Mach 10 (7673.9 mph). It is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads of up to 1058 pounds (480 kilogram).

The missile’s high speed, and erratic trajectory during flight can lead to difficulties in interception, making it a significant threat.

In March 2022, Russia had stated that it used the Kinzhal missile to destroy a weapons storage site in west Ukraine.

Other developments during Russian military drills in Mediterranean

The Russian war drills in Mediterranean sea also saw the 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile breaking cover.

The Russian Ministry of Defense released a video showcasing the missile’s launch from a Russian combat ship, marking a significant step in the global arms race.

The Zircon’s first combat deployment occurred in January 2023, signaling its readiness for operational use. By March 2024, President Putin confirmed the missile’s use in active combat, specifically against targets in Ukraine.

The 3M22 Zircon is capable of reaching hypersonic speeds of Mach 9 (around 6,835 mph). This extreme speed allows the missile to cover vast distances in minutes, giving adversaries little time to respond.

The missile has a range of up to 621 miles, depending on its trajectory. When flying at low altitudes, it covers approximately 311 miles, but using a semi-ballistic trajectory increases its range.

CDC breaks silence as mystery flu-like infection kills dozens of children and sparks Covid-era travel restrictions

READ MORE: Health officials issue dire warning as mysterious illness emerges

By LUKE ANDREWS SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 16:32 EST, 5 December 2024 | Updated: 17:20 EST, 5 December 2024

The CDC is 'standing ready' amid an outbreak of a mystery disease in Africa.

There are rising concerns about the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where dozens of people have died from a flu-like respiratory illness.

A source at the CDC told DailyMail.com they were 'aware' of the outbreak and were in contact with health officials there 'and stand ready to provide additional support if needed'.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has deployed a team to the southwestern province Kwango where the outbreak is being reported to take samples and test for the virus.

DRC health minister Roger Kamba said his country was currently on 'maximum alert' as they try to work out what's behind the 'epidemic' that has killed up to 143 people.

Most patients were children in their late teens, officials said, who suffered from symptoms including a fever, headache, cough and shortness of breath.

The symptoms suggest a respiratory virus — and, already, parallels are being drawn to the early days of the Covid pandemic.

Hong Kong became the first country to bring in health checks for arrivals from the DRC and Africa today, in an echo of measures taken to limit the spread of Covid.

A source at CDC told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'The CDC is aware of reports of an illness in southwest DRC.

'US Government staff, including those from US CDC's country office in Kinshasa [the DRC's capital], are in contact with the DRC's ministry of health and stand ready to provide additional support if needed.'

It was not clear how concerned the CDC was over the outbreak, or whether the agency plans to alert the nation's doctors.

Tests on patients are currently being carried out in the DRC, with officials saying they expect to have the results before the end of the week.

There are no direct flights between the US and Kinshasa, according to flight monitoring websites, although passengers can still arrive via connecting flights.

This may include catching connecting flights in Johannesburg, South Africa, or in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Officials say it is taking days to establish the illness behind the outbreak because the cases are in a remote part of the country, which took two days for the health team to reach.

It is not clear what disease could be causing the outbreak at this point, but officials say it could be a respiratory disease.

Experts speaking to DailyMail.com said the symptoms were 'non-specific' and they needed more information.

Dr Annie Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who has worked in Congo since 2002, told NBC News that diagnosing the illnesses may be complicated by underlying health issues in the local population, including malaria and malnutrition.

'I think it's really important to be aware of what's happening, and I think it's also really important not to panic until we have more information,' she said.

'It could be anything,' she added. 'It could be influenza, it could be Ebola, it could be measles. At this point, we really just don’t know.'

Dr Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious diseases expert and associate professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said that at this stage it was difficult to tell what was causing the outbreak because only general symptoms had been reported.

'We need more information,' she told DailyMail.com, 'the information that has been provided at present speaks of a number of diseases'.

Asked whether it could be monkeypox or Ebola, she said: 'In what they are reporting, we have not seen any reports of skin rash or skin abnormality — which would go with mpox.

'Typically, with viral hemorrhagic fever [like Ebola] you would hear reports of coughing or throwing up blood, and that has not been reported either.'

She added: 'The reports are concerning, but we need more data and more information about the symptoms they are seeing on the ground.'

The above map shows the DRC, and highlights the province of Kwango where the outbreak has been recorded

Officials initially suggested that 143 people had died from the mystery disease, although authorities appear to have reduced that number to 71 deaths.

These include 27 people who died in the hospital and 44 people who died in the community.

Of the people who died in hospital, 10 died due to a lack of blood transfusions and 17 died as a result of respiratory problems — the health minister said.

Most of the cases were children in their late teens, aged between 15 and 18 years old according to the BBC.

Dr Hotez, a leading supporter of lockdowns and mask mandates during the Covid pandemic, warned there were at least nine infectious diseases currently spreading in the US that could cause another pandemic — in a plea to the Trump administration not to cut disease research funding.

Scientists are currently warning over a surge in bird flu cases in animals that are spilling into humans, as well as a resurgence in measles and whooping cough linked to falling vaccination rates.

In an interview with MSNBC news, Dr Hotez said: 'Here's the reason why we need to care about this stuff. We have some big-picture stuff coming down the pipe.

'All that's going to come crashing down on January 21 on the Trump administration. We need a really really good team to be able to handle this.'

Tucker Carlson Returns To Russia; Warns "We Are Closer To Nuclear War Than Ever"

by Tyler Durden

Authored...

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Tucker Carlson has returned to Moscow to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as the outgoing Biden administration pushes the US ever closer to a hot war with Russia.

“In the week since we left Russia, Moscow, where we are now in February, after interviewing Vladimir Putin, we’ve watched from the United States as the Biden administration has driven the US ever closer to a nuclear conflict with Russia, the country that possesses the world’s largest nuclear arsenal,” Carlson announced.

He continued, “It has accelerated ever since, and it’s reached its apogee so far in the weeks after Trump’s election. He’s now the President-elect. In that time, just a few weeks ago, the Biden Administration, American military personnel launched missiles into mainland Russia and killed at least a dozen Russian soldiers.”

“So we are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in a hot war with Russia, an undeclared war, a war you did not vote for and that most Americans don’t want, but that is ongoing,” Carlson urged.

“And because of that war because of the fact that the US military is killing Russians in Russia right now, we are closer to nuclear war than at any time in history, far closer than we were during the Cuban Missile crisis,” Carlson warned, adding “That would mean the elimination of Russia, the United States, and most of the rest of the world.”

“We felt there must be someone behind the scenes in Washington working to make sure that this conflict doesn’t become a nuclear Holocaust. But we found out that no, in fact, there is nobody,” he explained, noting that the State Department has cut off all communication with Russia.

Tucker also revealed that he has been trying to sit down with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy but has been prevented from doing so by the US government who have ordered Zelenskyy not to do the interview.

Watch:

We’re back in Moscow. Here’s why. pic.twitter.com/7FfBhcaIUu

— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) December 3, 2024

Biden’s government refuses to engage in diplomatic exchanges with Russia, despite serious escalation that risks cataclysmic war, and Tucker Carlson is having to try to fill the void.

Disgraceful.

Meanwhile, Democratic strategist James Carville claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Carlson has had the most influence with regards to Trump’s cabinet nominations.

Carville claimed “One person is driving this, I promise you. And it’s Tucker Carlson. Tucker’s an old friend of mine.”

Carville added that Tucker “has more influence in this current administration, way more than Vernon Jordan had in the Clinton administration or any of the kind of wise men that were around,” adding that “Tucker is very, very, very powerful.”

3:16 PM EST -- The French government collapsed about 45 minutes ago after a "No Confidence" Vote in Parliament.

The historic vote of no-confidence was passed against Prime Minister Michel Barnier in the National Assembly.

It marks the first time a French government has been ousted by a no-confidence vote in over 60 years.

French MPs including the left and the far right combined voted 331 out of 574 in favour of the motion to pass, exceeding the minimum mark of 288.

The vote rose from fierce opposition to his proposed budget for 2025 from opposition parties such as the left-wing alliance New Popular Front (NFP) and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN).

They were left angry as Barnier decided to exercise special powers to push through his budget, even though it failed to receive support from MPs.

It comes as a huge blow for President Emmanuel Macron who is now likely to name a new prime minister rapidly, possibly even before the grand reopening of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral at the weekend.

Russian Vessel Fires Toward German Military Helicopter in Baltic Sea

Hal Turner World December 04, 2024 Hits: 17296

An incident has taken place between a German Army helicopter and a Russian ship. Details are very sketchy at this hour, here is all I know:

The crew of the Russian ship shot "signal ammunition" believed to be a flare, at the German military helicopter, which was performing reconnaissance.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock briefly described the incident at the beginning of a NATO meeting in Brussels. She did not give any details.

The use of signal ammunition is only common in emergency situations. Thus, the firing of such signal ammunition today, is unusual on its face.

It appears, at least initially, that the vessel involved was Russian, but NOT a military vessel. It is described as a "tanker." But western media coverage is now calling the vessel a "Russian warship."

Baerbock claimed that there are always ships in the Baltic Sea that are involved in circumventing sanctions for the Russian war against Ukraine. Was this some type of justification for the presence of the helicopter? That is unknown.

More if I get it.

US entrepreneur, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswami, will head the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" in Donald Trump’s administration

NEW YORK, December 4. /TASS/. US entrepreneur Elon Musk warned of his country’s impending de-facto bankruptcy in a post on the X social network.

"America is headed for de facto bankruptcy very fast," he wrote.

Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswami, will head the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" in Donald Trump’s administration.

The US national debt exceeded $36 trillion for the first time ever on November 15. According to forecasts, the figure is expected to grow to $50 trillion, or 122% GDP, by 2034. The average US GDP growth is forecasted at 1.8% in 2029-2034.

Why God Dedicated Over One-Third Of The Bible To Telling Us The Future In Advance

By Jonathan Brentner December 3, 2024

The Bible is a book of prophecy. Over one-third of its verses predict the future, with every fulfillment happening with one hundred percent accuracy down to the smallest of details.

The Old Testament contains forty-eight specific prophecies related to Jesus’ first coming, which happened precisely as the prophets of old foretold. The odds that one person could fulfill all of them stagger the imagination, and together, they verify that He was truly the promised Messiah, the Christ.

During His earthly ministry, the Lord prepared His disciples for what was coming by repeatedly telling them about His future death and resurrection. In the Upper Room, the Savior again told them what was to happen so as to calm their troubled hearts concerning the news that He would soon leave them. His words on this occasion provide us with a key for understanding the purpose of Bible prophecy: “And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe” (John 14:29).

Although His followers already believed that He was indeed the Christ, the Son of God, He warned them about His arrest, death, and soon departure so they wouldn’t give into doubt but would instead remain confident in spite of what they would see in the coming hours and days. etc.

Jesus’ Promises for Us

During that same evening, the Lord also promised His disciples, and us, that He would prepare a place for us in Heaven and take us to His “Father’s house” (John 14:1-3). The apostles later expounded upon this assurance by adding many details about it. They told us He would someday:

Resurrect the dead in Christ (1 Corinthians 15:47-55; I Thessalonians 4:16).

Transform living saints into the same immortal and resurrection bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51-55; Philippians 3:20-21; Romans 8:23-24; 1 John 3:1-3).

Catch living believers up to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Take His Church to Heaven, to the place He’s preparing for us (John 14:2-3; Colossians 3:4).

Why did Jesus provide us with so many precious promises of our future? He did so for the purpose of providing a means of mutual encouragement among believers (1 Thessalonians 4:18-5:11). While Paul was in Thessalonica, he emphasized future things, perhaps sensing that the Jews living there would persecute the new believers. Amid severe and painful opposition to their faith, the Thessalonians saints remained faithful as they held on to the hope of Jesus’ imminent appearing. etc

The World We Live In

Amid growing opposition to and, in many cases, persecution for our faith Bible amid daily warnings of nuclear WWIII, prophecy comforts us today in at least two ways. First, it assures us of a glorious future after the end of this life. The pre-Tribulation Rapture is biblically sound and most definitely a very “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14) that fills us with joyous anticipation regardless of what we face in this life.

Second, it calms our hearts by assuring us that our world today precisely resembles what Scripture foretold about the last days. The Lord revealed these things long ago so that we might remain confident in our faith as everything falls apart around us. We recognize the buildup to the blasphemous kingdom of the beast and know that regardless of the wait, Jesus is coming for us in the near future.

For example, if the antichrist is to control all the buying and selling in the world, we would expect to see the development of the means for this well ahead of the time he needs it. And that’s exactly what’s happening. The globalists are feverishly working on a cashless and digital payment system that will enable the coming beast to fulfill the words of Revelation 13:16-18.

The Bible tells us that the Tribulation will be a time of great lawlessness, deception, and wickedness. Although these things have existed to some degree throughout history, they define the day in which we live like no other time. When asked about the end of the age, Jesus’ first words were, “See to it that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4). Each and every day, we witness deceit on a scale that was once far beyond my imagination. I struggle to know what’s real, and as a result, constantly thank the Lord for the words of Scripture that anchor my soul amid the storms of gaslighting.

These things are just a sample of how God’s Word long ago described the day in which we live, the time leading up to the Rapture of the Church, and, after that, the start of the seven-year Tribulation. Do you not now hear the echo of the Lord’s words from the Upper Room, “And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe?”

Jesus knew all about the difficulties we would face in the days before His appearing to take us home. He realized it would be difficult to wait as we watch the Tribulation approach and wonder how much closer we can get to the Tribulation before it happens. Perhaps that’s why, as Jesus spoke of His return to the church at Philadelphia, He emphasized “patient endurance” and holding on to what we have (Revelation 3:10-11). He knew we would need these things in order to keep our focus on His appearing.

Everything remains under His sovereign control and is unfolding precisely as he said it would in the days leading up to the Rapture. As we wait, we remember His last words to His church: “I am coming quickly” (Revelation 22:20).

He is.

Jonathan Brentner is an author, writer, and Bible Teacher with a passion for encouraging believers with a sound biblical worldview and the nearness of Jesus’ appearing.

Tsunami threat ends for Northern California, Oregon coasts after major 7.0 earthquake

A powerful 7.0 earthquake was recorded off shore of Ferndale, California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A Tsunami Warning was allowed to expire from Davenport, California to south of Florence, Oregon.

By Emilee Speck Source FOX Weather

SAN FRANCISCO – A magnitude 7.0 earthquake off the coast of Northern California prompted a rare tsunami warning for coastal areas near the California-Oregon state line, including San Francisco Bay.

A powerful 7.0 earthquake was recorded around 10:44 a.m. PT about 60 miles offshore of Ferndale, California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The 7.0 quake is the strongest in the region since at least 2005, when a magnitude of 7.2 occurred, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

The major quake promoted a Tsunami Warning from Davenport to 10 miles south of Florence, Oregon. The warning included more than 4.6 million people and was allowed to expire just before 11 a.m.

A Tsunami Warning means that a tsunami with significant inundation is possible or is already occurring.

A tsunami is a series of long waves caused by significant disruptions in the ocean, most commonly earthquakes along tectonic plate boundaries.

HUNDREDS OF CALIFORNIA BOATERS MOVE VESSELS OUT TO SEA DURING TSUNAMI THREAT

San Diego State University Geologist Pat Abbott said even a small tsunami wave can do serious damage.

"You go to the beach and you see a wave rise up, break, runs up the beach and pulls back," Abbott said. "But that's not the way a tsunami is. A tsunami is not a solitary wave. It's the front of a big sheet of water coming in. So if it's even coming in knee-depth, then you can't stand up and it's going to carry you, you know, 100 feet, 1,000 feet, a quarter of a mile. And it could be beating you up with three branches and things at the same time."

‘You are in danger': Evacuations ordered for coastal areas

Shaking from the major earthquake was felt in Napa Valley and across San Francisco.

Officials in West Berkley issued evacuation orders for the tsunami zone west of 7th Street.

Emergency management in San Francisco warned residents, "You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters."

Bay Area Rapid Transportation (BART) temporarily closed Transbay Tube after the earthquake. Trains began running again before 11 a.m. PT.

Abbott said it was important the NWS issued the Tsunami Warning quickly.

WATCH: MAJOR EARTHQUAKE OFF WEST COAST CAUSES SHAKING IN CALIFORNIA, OREGON

"It's best to give people time. We don't want to give fake warnings, you know, warning that there's nothing behind this kind of thing. You don't want people to lose faith in the system," he said. "But this one, it needed to go out."

Aftershocks ongoing

The USGS does expect more aftershocks. According to the USGS Aftershock forecast, "there is a more than 99% chance of magnitude 3 and above aftershocks within the next week, and it is most likely that 3 to 280 of these will occur."

Those aftershocks should decrease in intensity and frequency over time. Geologists said about 25 aftershocks have already occurred, at a magnitude of 4.3 or less.

There is a small chance of aftershocks being stronger than the initial 7.0 earthquake.

The USGS originally reported that a magnitude 5.8 quake struck Cobb, California, three minutes after the 7.0 quake but later updated its data to reduce that quake to a magnitude 4.1.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Snow squalls, blizzard conditions lead to treacherous travel as winter storm slams Great Lakes, Northeast

Snow Squall Warnings have been issued in multiple states from North Dakota to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey over the past two days, and forecasters were warning people of the dangerous and potentially life-threatening travel conditions due to the blowing snow leading to whiteout conditions.

By Steven Yablonski , Scott Sistek Source FOX Weather

ERIE, Pa. – Millions of people from the Great Lakes to the Appalachians and Northeast are facing another blast of winter weather as a powerful winter storm races across the U.S. bringing life-threatening snow squalls and blizzard conditions to regions that were just slammed by the first significant lake-effect snowstorm of the season.

The storm has even brought some frozen precipitation to the heavily traveled Interstate 95 corridor since the storm began Wednesday.

Snow Squall Warnings have been issued in multiple states from North Dakota to Ohio, as well as in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut over the past two days, and forecasters were warning people of the dangerous and potentially life-threatening travel conditions due to the blowing snow leading to whiteout conditions.

Several multi-vehicle crashes have also been reported, including crashes that closed lanes on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania while snow squalls were racing across the region. A multi-vehicle crash was reported on Highway 40 near Holland, Michigan. No serious injuries were reported, but the dangerous travel conditions will continue on Thursday.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said winter weather conditions had forced officials to lower the speed limit on Interstate 90 from the New York state line to Westfield, Massachusetts, but those restrictions had been lifted as of Thursday afternoon.

In addition, MassDOT said more than 1,000 pieces of equipment were out plowing and treating roads statewide.

Power outages have also started to creep up, with PowerOutage.US reporting outages in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Connecticut in New England.

Mulitple reports of rare thundersnow

The National Weather Service office in Pittsburgh said there were numerous reports of lightning flashes and rare thundersnow as the line of rain, snow and sleet slid across the region late Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.

A video shared from Holland, Michigan, showed a bright flash of lightning and thundersnow as the storm pushed through the region.

Thundersnow is a rare weather phenomenon where thunder and lightning are observed despite precipitation falling in the frozen variety.

Similar to thunderstorms, thundersnow requires a significant amount of atmospheric instability, and in areas where the phenomenon occurs, snowfall rates can be exceptionally heavy.

Winter weather alerts stretch from Michigan to Maine, including Blizzard Warnings in portions of West Virginia and Maryland in the mid-Atlantic, as well as a new Blizzard Warning that has Erie, Pennsylvania, on alert for whiteout conditions amid 10-18 inches of new snow and gusts to 60 mph.

Dangerous winds continue to impact areas across the eastern half of the U.S. Between 40 and 50 mph toppled the Christmas tree at the West Virginia State Capitol when a securing cable snapped overnight Wednesday.

In total, more than 17 million people are included in some sort of winter weather alert.

"Nearly 3 feet of snow has fallen already since last Friday here in Erie, and surrounding areas on the interior up to 6 feet in some pockets," FOX Weather Correspondent Robert Ray said. "We know how dangerous I-90 has been over the course of the past almost a week, and we expect those conditions to be as dangerous or even more as these blizzard conditions continue throughout the morning."

What’s the winter storm forecast in the Northeast?

The FOX Forecast Center said the winter storm will continue to push across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic on Thursday. It will likely continue to produce potentially life-threatening snow squalls that will be accompanied by bursts of heavy snow and strong winds.

That will lead to continued treacherous travel on major roads and interstates across the region, including Interstate 90 from portions of Massachusetts through New York state.

The FOX Forecast Center said that the potential for accumulating snow on the Interstate 95 corridor is low.

Snowfall totals of 1-2 feet are expected in the lake-effect snow belts, with up to a foot likely along the central Appalachians and across the higher terrain of interior New England.

Strong winds are also possible, which could lead to more power outages if trees or other debris bring down power lines.

The FOX Forecast Center said wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible across portions of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Thursday.

Storm left whiteout conditions across Upper Midwest Wednesday

The storm first spent Wednesday revving up over the Upper Midwest as it dropped out of Canada, bringing multiple snow squalls to North Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) shared a dramatic photo just west of Grand Forks, North Dakota that showed the whiteout conditions blinding portions of far eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.

A time-lapse video that was shared from Fargo, North Dakota, shows a snow squall racing through the city on Wednesday.

NWS forecasters in western Wisconsin warned of a flash freeze Wednesday afternoon as the approaching arctic front quickly drops temperatures below freezing, along with wind gusts of 40-50 mph or more. Rochester, Minnesota saw its temperature drop from 36 to 27 degrees in two hours as winds gusted to 62 mph. A wind gust later reached 74 mph in South Haven as the storm crossed into Michigan.

Health officials have raised the alarm after an unknown disease with flu -like symptoms killed nearly 150 people since first being detected.

Deaths have been reported Kwango province and the Panzi health zone in the southwest of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Remy Saki, the deputy governor of the province said samples are being collected and analysed in a bid to identify the disease behind the outbreak.

The initial report of 143 deaths was recorded between November 10 and November 25. Symptoms of the disease include fever, headache, cough and anaemia, health minister Apollinaire Yumba told reporters over the weekend.

Mysterious “Skyquakes” Are Causing Strange “Booms” In The Sky, And Scientists Have No Explanation

December 3, 2024 by Michael

What is causing the extremely loud “booms” that people are hearing in the sky all over the world? We are being told that “skyquakes” are responsible, but scientists have no idea why these “skyquakes” are occurring. In some cases, the “skyquakes” cause such powerful shaking that people actually think that something has hit their homes. But when scientists check, there has often been no detectable seismic activity in the area. This is a huge mystery, and hopefully the experts can get us some answers because this phenomenon appears to be intensifying.

According to the New York Post, these strange booming sounds in the sky have been “terrifyingly rocking the globe” in 2024…

This one’ll have you quaking.

Scientists have little explanation for a booming phenomenon that’s terrifyingly rocking the globe — though they have been noted as ominous preludes to earthquakes.

Yes, there have been cases where “skyquakes” have preceded significant earthquakes, but most of the time “skyquakes” are not linked to any seismic activity at all.

For example, southern Idaho was recently rattled by a serious of very loud “booms”, but there were no sizable earthquakes at that time…

Social media has been going crazy over the last 48 hours with inquires about loud ‘booms’ heard around Southern Idaho.

If you’ve lived in the Twin Falls area for any length of time, you are probably familiar with the occasional bouts of rumbles we feel from time to time. It’s not unusual for the booms to resonate throughout a building and shake windows, debatably similar to what you might feel during an small earthquake. But these (usually) are not earthquakes… So what are they?

At this point, we have more questions than answers.

According to Wikipedia, “skyquakes” have been happening literally all over the planet, and most of the time it is not clear why they have happened…

A skyquake is a phenomenon where a loud banging sound is reported to originate from the sky. The sound may cause noticeable vibration in the ceiling or across a particular room. Those who experience skyquakes typically do not have a clear explanation for what caused them and they are perceived as mysterious. They have been heard in several locations around the world, several locations in the North Sea, the Ganges, Canada, Colombia, Japan, Finland, Australia, Italy, Ireland, India, The Netherlands, Norway, Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, Malaysia (particularly Ipoh) and Indonesia (particularly Jakarta and Java).

Scientists had theorized that many of these “skyquakes” were probably linked to low level seismic events, but a study that was conducted in 2020 appears to have ruled that out…

In 2020, a team from the University of North Carolina conducted an extensive analysis of seismic and acoustic data from the EarthScope Transportable Array (ESTA). This network of over 400 stations across the United States is designed to detect both seismic events and atmospheric phenomena. The researchers aimed to establish a correlation between skyquakes and previously undetected seismic activities. However, their findings yielded no direct link between these mysterious sounds and earthquakes or other underground activities.

This lack of connection to seismic events lends credence to the theory that skyquakes originate in the atmosphere. However, the exact nature of the phenomenon remains unclear.

The bottom line is that there is a lot that we do not know.

But we do know that very loud “booms” are happening in the sky, and we do know that they have been making frequent headlines all over the globe in 2024.

Hopefully the fact that they are occurring so often is not a bad sign.

On a related note, an asteroid that was discovered just several hours in advance was “on a collision course” with our planet on Tuesday morning…

A newly discovered asteroid is on a collision course for Earth and will hit our atmosphere in just a matter of hours.

The asteroid, designated COWECP5, is forecasted to streak through the sky over Eastern Siberia at 11:14am ET.

Scientists say the small space rock, measuring 27 inches in diameter, is expected to burn up in the atmosphere and poses no threat to humans on the ground.

The good news is that this particular space rock was so small that it was never a threat to anyone.

But it did put on quite a show when it exploded over Russia…

The space rock exploded in a stunning red light over Yakutia, soaring over the bright city lights and was seen firing off flames as it flew over Olekminsk.

In many cases, incoming asteroids are not detected in advance or are only detected once they have flown by us.

In this case, scientists were able to see this one seven hours before it arrived…

It was detected seven hours before it is due to hit, which is only the 12th time scientists have accurately reported an asteroid before it struck.

This event will also marks the fourth asteroid to hit Earth’s atmosphere this year.

A lot of people think that our scientists have a really good handle on any potential major threats to our planet that are floating around out there.

Unfortunately, that is not true at all.

Over and over again, our world has been hit by space rocks that nobody saw in advance.

And it is just a matter of time before we get hit by a really, really big one.

Needless to say, if we do get hit by a really, really big one the lives of every man, woman and child on the entire planet will instantly be turned completely upside down.

Saudi crown prince, France's Macron to lead Palestinian state conference in June

"In the coming months, together we will multiply and combine our diplomatic initiatives to bring everyone along this path," Macron reportedly noted.

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF, MAARIV  DECEMBER 4, 2024 00:22  Updated: DECEMBER 4, 2024 14:51

French President Emanuel Macron and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced they would co-chair a conference for the establishment of a Palestinian state, according to a Wednesday AFP report.

The conference is expected to take place in June.

"In the coming months, together we will multiply and combine our diplomatic initiatives to bring everyone along this path," AFP quoted Macron as saying.

"We want to involve several other partners and allies, both European and non-European, who are ready to move in this direction but who are waiting for France," the French president added.

Regarding a French recognition of a Palestinian state, Macron stated, according to the report, that France would carry out such an action "at the right moment."

UN approves conference

Earlier on Wednesday, the UN General Assembly approved a decision to hold a "peace conference" on the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in June 2025, with the aim of "promoting irreversible steps to end the conflict and establish a Palestinian state."

Some 157 countries supported the decision, seven abstained, and eight opposed, including Israel, the US, Hungary, and Argentina.

Russia accuses Ukraine of helping Syrian rebels

Ukraine allegedly helped Syrian opposition fighters by providing training and drones

Yana Suryadnaya ■ Foreign Affairs Correspondent, i24NEWS Hebrew Channel ■ 

Russia claimed on Wednesday that the Syrian rebels received help "from the outside," including training and material support in drones. Moscow said it identified traces of Ukrainian involvement, but did not provide evidence for this.

Russia stands "in solidarity with the Syrian leadership," the country's foreign ministry said, and that "armed criminals" are exacerbating the situation in Syria and creating a new wave of refugees. The Kremlin strongly supports the actions of the Syrian leadership in the fight against "terror groups" and argues that "strengthening 'terrorists' in Syria threatens the entire Middle East."

The ministry's statement said that Russia "strongly condemns the attack in Syria led by 'terrorists.'"

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, "Among the terrorists there are many foreign fighters, including immigrants from the post-Soviet space, and it is clear that there traces from Ukraine."

READY FOR WAR Putin stages hypersonic war games in Med as two warships blast 6,900mph missiles in message to West over Syria & Ukraine

Watch the chilling footage in the video player below

Juliana Cruz Lima Will Stewart  Published: 12:03 ET, Dec 3 2024

A MENACING Vladimir Putin staged provocative war games in the Mediterranean today in a blatant show of strength to the West.

The despot's latest aggression came amid major tension with rebel advances in Syria, where he protects his authoritarian dictator pal Bashar al-Assad.

It coincided with deep tension in Ukraine, and was aimed to show he has a global reach beyond Russia’s backyard.

Video shows Putin's major warning to the West by firing Tsirkon [Zircon] 6,900 mph hypersonic missiles in the eastern Mediterranean - Europe’s favourite holiday destination.

They were blasted by modern frigates Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Golovko.

Both warships were operating as part of the Russian Navy strike group, Russian TV network Zvezda reported.

The Kremlin dictator's diesel-electric submarine Novorossiysk also launched a Kalibr cruise missile at a maritime target position.

The Russian Defence Ministry said a Bastion coastal missile system from the Mediterranean coast - presumably Syria - carried out a "combat launch of an Onyx cruise missile”.

The Ministry added it was all part of military exercises involving more than 1,000 servicemen, 10 ships and support vessels, 24 aircraft, including MiG-31I fighters armed with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.

Russia's Bastion coastal missile system was also involved in the exercises, according to Zvezda.

The drills were carried out under the supervision of Russian naval commander in chief Admiral Alexander Moiseyev.

Several days ago, he was dispatched to Syria amid turmoil in the country as rebels took Aleppo and put on the back foot Putin’s close ally President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus.

A key message of today’s war games may be to warn that Russia’s naval port in Syria - Tartus - will be vigorously defended.

A crucial reason for the rebel advance was that Putin had moved forces from Syria to fight in his bloody Ukraine war.

Today the Russians said that its military strength ahead of the war games in the eastern Mediterranean Sea had been increased.

Its forces conducted “missile, artillery and torpedo firing, as well as bombing.”

The Russian Defence Ministry said: “The exercise involves over 1,000 servicemen, ten ships and support vessels, 24 aircraft, including MiG-31I fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces with Kinzhal [Dagger] hypersonic missiles and the Bastion coastal missile system."

They did not show or report launches of the 9.200mph Dagger ballistic missiles.

“The exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean is being conducted in compliance with current international law, as well as agreements between the Russian Federation and foreign states on the prevention of incidents at sea outside territorial waters, as well as in the airspace above them."

WEF Working with Bill Gates to ‘Debunk’ the Bible Using AI, Usher In ‘One World Religion’

Bradley Greer By Bradley Greer

11:05 am  12/04/2024

Any opinions expressed by authors in this article do not necessarily represent the views of Disswire.com.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) and billionaire Bill Gates have been working together in the background to rewrite the Holy Bible using artificial intelligence and release a new version that will to usher in a new universal spirituality to fit within their vision of a transhumanistic world.

The new plan, which has already received the blessing of Pope Francis, aims to reconstruct the core teachings of Christianity with a new AI “fact-checked” version that will force the masses to accept as their new God.

Recently, WEF official Yuval Noah Harar claimed the Bible is “dangerous” because it’s full of “hate speech,” arguing that a more “unified religion” must be created that’s “actually correct.”

That’s right, Harar believes the Bible in its current form does not fit into the WEF’s globalist vision, therefore, a new version must be created to reshape spirituality.

The global elite know that the teachings of Jesus Christ go directly against their dark spirituality, and their agenda can only succeed in a world devoid of religion.

It’s no surprise that Pope Francis has been singing from the same hymn sheet for some time.

In 2017, Francis called for a “one world government” and “political authority” to combat “climate change,” arguing that the United Nations does not have enough power to impose complete governmental control.

We’ve already seen things like scanning phones to enter public areas to prepare people to accept the microchip, digital tattoo, or the Mark of the Beast system predicted in the Bible.

Now, they are laying the groundwork to remove God first.

Someone should remind Francis of Exodus 20:3, Matthew 4:10, Luke 4:8 and elsewhere, where it says “You shall have no other gods before me.”

RELATED: Bill Gates Demands ‘Death Panels’ for Vaccine Injured

Meanwhile, Bill Gates, whose deadly DNA-altering vaccines have already admitted a large portion of the satanic agenda, said the next step would be to usher in a new type of global religion to coincide with AI technology.

During the unnerving episode of “Possible” podcast, co-hosted by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Gates reflects on “spiritually” before suggesting that the world’s current religions will become obsolete.

“The potential positive path is so good that it will force us to rethink how should we use our time,” Gates said.

“You know, you can almost call it a new religion or a new philosophy of, okay, how do we stay connected with each other, not addicted to these things that’ll make video games look like nothing in terms of the attractiveness of spending time on them,” Gates said.

Gates wants us to reject God and begin worshipping machines.

According to Gates, the world now needs a spiritual authority that doesn’t come from a higher power.

“So it’s fascinating that we will. The issues of, you know, disease and enough food or climate if things go well will largely become solved problems,” Gates said.

“And, you know, so the next generation does get to say, ‘Okay, given that some things that were massively in shortage are now not, how do, how do we take advantage of that?'”

Watch

As the world teeters on the brink of being plunged into eternal darkness, with the soul of humanity being the ultimate prize for these satanic globalists, we must resist their technocratic dreams of totalitarian rule at all costs.

It’s clear whose side Bill Gates, the WEF and Pope Francis are on—and it’s not God.

Europe Quietly Prepares for World War III

Published Dec 03, 2024 at 3:00 AM EST  Updated Dec 04, 2024 at 8:07 AM EST

By Ellie Cook Security & Defense Reporter

With warnings swirling over a possible war with Russia in a matter of years, NATO's European members have already started laying the groundwork for defenses, should Russian troops set foot on alliance soil.

"Russia is preparing for a war with the West," Bruno Kahl, the head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, said in late November.

But it's not likely to be a large-scale attack into NATO territory, the intelligence chief warned. Moscow could opt for a limited incursion or upping its hybrid warfare tactics to probe the alliance's conviction, Kahl said.

NATO is trying to prepare for both scenarios: an all-out war, and less obvious techniques designed to undermine stability in the alliance's member countries.

"There are multiple options for Russia to test the cohesion of the alliance," including limited land grabs, the former head of NATO's Multinational Corps Northeast based in northwest Poland, Lieutenant General Jürgen-Joachim von Sandrart, told Newsweek just before leaving his post in November.

The urgency is now obvious from senior military and political officials. Andrius Kubilius, the European Union's commissioner for defense, said in September that defense ministers and NATO commanders "agree that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin could be ready for confrontation with NATO and the EU in six to eight years."

Estonia's foreign intelligence service warned in February NATO "could face a Soviet-style mass army in the next decade" if Russia successfully reforms its military. The army would be "technologically inferior" to NATO forces in areas other than electronic warfare and long-range strikes, the service said, but its "military potential would be significant."

"If we take these assessments seriously, then that is the time for us to properly prepare, and it is a short one," Kubilius, a former Lithuanian prime minister, told the Reuters news agency. "This means we have to take quick decisions, and ambitious decisions."

The main catalyst is Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting Sweden and Finland to abandon their long-held policies of non-alignment and join NATO, lengthening Russia's border with the alliance.

Across Europe, NATO is now battling to raise defense spending up and beyond the two percent of GDP requested—but not enforced—by the alliance. Many countries have historically fallen far short of this benchmark in the decades since the end of the Cold War.

But times are changing. European nations have pledged to meet or exceed the target, and officials and experts broadly expect the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump to double down on pressure on Europe to increase military spending further.

The countries snaking along NATO's eastern flank are way ahead. How quickly Europe will be able to pull up spending and prop up the companies producing more equipment, however, remains to be seen. NATO's top military official, Admiral Rob Bauer, said in late last November that businesses "need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly."

"While it may be the military who wins battles, it's the economies that win wars." Bauer said.

Already, there are visible signs of preparations across Europe, particularly striking in the countries closest to Russia's borders.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said in July that NATO was "not ready now" for a possible war with Russia but that they "will be ready" in the future.

"They are already preparing for a conflict with the Russian Federation and are preparing much faster than some people would like to see, in every sense," he told Serbian television, in remarks reported by Russian state media.

"We know this from military preparations. We know how they are being conducted. And I want to tell you, they are preparing for a military conflict," Vučić said.

Germany has started putting together plans for how Berlin would would shield important buildings and installations in the event of an attack, and how Germany would be a conduit for hundreds of thousands of soldiers heading further east in Europe, the German daily newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, reported in November.

The first draft of the strategy paper, labeled "Operationsplan Deutschland," is 1,000 pages long, the newspaper reported.

Baltic Defense Line

The three Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia signed an agreement back in January this year to beef up protection along their land borders with Russia and Belarus.

Belarus is a key Russian ally, and the Kremlin used Belarusian territory to launch the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The country also links Russia with its isolated Kaliningrad exclave, sandwiched between NATO members Poland and Lithuania.

"We are undertaking this effort so that the people of Estonia can feel safe, but if the slightest risk emerged, we would be ready for various developments more promptly," said Estonia's defense minister, Hanno Pevkur.

Tallinn said there would be a "network of bunkers, support points and distribution lines" along the border.

Lithuania's defense ministry said in early September that it had "set up a blockade" on and near the bridge in Panemunė, the Lithuanian border settlement that connects the NATO country with Kaliningrad.

Vilnius said it had set up mines, and other defenses, like dragon's teeth, against tanks and armored vehicles.

Dragon's teeth are concrete blocks used to halt tank advances and prevent mechanized infantry from gaining territory. This type of anti-tank fortification has littered Ukraine.

"This is a precautionary step to ensure more effective defense," Lithuania's government said.

Lithuania's neighbor to the north, Latvia, has put similar defenses in place. The Latvian government has said around €303 million ($318 million) will be funneled into building up defenses on its eastern border with Russia over five years. There will be outposts for support personnel, reinforced structures, anti-tank trenches and storage dumps for ammunition and mines, Riga said.

"We will be able to slow down and block the movement of potential aggressors more efficiently," Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprūds said in a statement in January.

In July, Riga said that obstacles designed to hamper military movements were now being "procured and transported to temporary storage areas near Latvia's eastern border." Russia lies to the east of Latvia.

Estonia's ERR broadcaster reported in October that the Latvian military was testing barriers making up the Baltic Defense Line, including dragon's teeth.

Kaspars Lazdinš, from the Latvian armed forces, said the military had used a T-55 tank to "simulate conditions similar to those our eastern neighbors might present." The T-55 is a Soviet-era main battle tank.e concrete blocks successfully protected people and infrastructure from direct fire."

"The anti-tank barriers held up well," Lazdinš told the broadcaster, adding: "The

Further to the south, staring down Kaliningrad and Belarus, Poland has started construction of what it has called its "East Shield," costing over $2.5 billion and described by Warsaw as "the largest operation to strengthen Poland's eastern border, Nato's eastern flank, since 1945."

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited the Polish border with Kaliningrad over the weekend to inspect fortifications being built on Warsaw's territory.

"Poland's investments have been a mix of building up both defensive capabilities and offensive capabilities, designed to deter Russia by convincing them that any attack would fail to achieve its objectives and come at very high cost," said William Freer, a research fellow in national security at the U.K.-based think tank, the Council on Geostrategy.

"Poland's 'East Shield' fortifications build on the lessons of the fighting in Ukraine, which have shown how hard it is to push through heavily entrenched defenders," Freer told Newsweek. "In combination with traditional fortifications such as dragon's teeth, East Shield will make use of a suite of electronic warfare and surveillance systems."

Mass Evacuation Plans

The preparations aren't just military, they're civil, too. In mid-November, NATO's newest member, Sweden, published a brochure it said helped the country's residents to "learn how to prepare for, and act, in case of crisis or war." The pamphlet outlines what a heightened state of alert would mean, how each inhabitant would pitch in to a war-time effort, and what different sirens sound like.

"Military threat levels are increasing," the leaflet warns the Scandinavian country's citizens. "We must be prepared for the worst-case scenario—an armed attack on Sweden."

Norway, too, has published a leaflet on how to deal with "extreme weather, pandemics, accidents, sabotage—and in the worst case acts of war."

Finland has publicly-available guides on how it prepares for "the worst possible threat, war."

In the Baltics, Agnė Bilotaitė, Lithuania's interior minister, said in September that each of the country's local authorities had to quickly draw up evacuation plans that are "ready" to be put in motion.

"It is important to note that we are at the forefront, so today, civil defense has become a priority on our agenda," Bilotaitė said. The Lithuanian minister has urged neighbouring countries to do the same.

Latvian Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis said in September that the Baltic state had roughly 5,000 underground buildings that Riga hoped to have "ready for use as shelters by November."

Bilotaitė said in October that Vilnius would spend €12 billion in 2025 to install and upgrade shelters.

"If necessary, we could shelter two cities like Vilnius underground," Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas said in remarks reported by domestic media.

Germany's government has also said it is putting together a list of bomb shelters that will be available for citizens to see where their closest shelter is.

Air Defenses

In January, the Baltic states also stressed the need they felt to build up NATO air defenses on the eastern flank, according to a Latvian government readout.

Hungary's defense minister, Kristof Szalay-Bobrovniczky, said in November that Budapest will place an air defense system in the northeastern region of the country.

"We still trust that there will be peace as soon as possible, through diplomacy instead of a military solution," Szalay-Bobrovniczky said in a video address. "However, to prepare for all possibilities, I ordered the recently purchased air control and air defense systems and the capabilities built on them to be installed in the northeast."

Europe has a chronic shortage of air defenses, although military and political officials have swerved providing specifics.

East Versus West

While Poland, the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden, as well as Romania, which borders western Ukraine, have significantly upped defense investment, western Europe is lagging behind.

"It is no coincidence that the greatest increases in defense spending in NATO are coming from those closest to Russia," Freer said. "Behind NATO's eastern flank, other allies are acting with less urgency and have proven far less willing to increase investment at the same level."

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the British armed forces, conceded in November that the U.K. was in a "slightly weaker" position than many countries closer to Russian soil.

"We don't have some of the civil aspects or planning aspects that other countries within NATO have as part of their traditions," Radakin said.

The U.K. has committed to increasing defense spending to 2.5 percent of GDP. France is on course to hit the NATO target of 2 percent this year, as is Germany.

Estonia's defense spending is hovering at around 3.4 percent of its GDP, with plans to hike this to 3.7 percent by 2026. Lithuania said in March it would raise defense spending to 3 percent from 2025, and its defense minister has floated hitting 4 percent, to finance new long-range air defenses and other equipment. Poland has said it will spend 5 percent of its GDP on the military in 2025.

Western European countries are taking "some meaningful steps," Freer added. Countries in the alliance are looking at how to improve NATO's integrated air and missile defense capabilities, pulling lessons from Russia's hammering of Ukraine.

White House puts pressure on Turkey to restrain Syrian rebels - report

The US noted that President Bashar al-Assad's "regime" has been part of an ongoing refusal to "engage in a political process," which has "created the conditions now unfolding."

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF  DECEMBER 3, 2024 08:57  Updated: DECEMBER 3, 2024 09:03

The Biden administration asked that Turkey restrain the actions of the rebel groups in Syria to which it is providing aid, KAN News reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The report noted that this was expressed in a phone call between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Turkish counterpart, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

Earlier this week, the US noted regarding the situation in Syria that President Bashar al-Assad's "regime" has been part of an ongoing refusal to "engage in a political process," which has "created the conditions now unfolding."

The White House statement also added that the attack was a result of the Assad regime's reliance on Russia and Iran.

The SNA

One of the groups, the Syrian National Army (SNA), is backed by Turkey, which positions it in areas it has invaded in northern Syria.

Videos published earlier this week showed SNA militias attacking Kurds.

On November 29, Syrian rebels, led by the independent Islamist Jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), entered Aleppo, capturing significant portions of the city and forcing Syrian troops to redeploy.

Assad's regime subsequently fled the city, enabling the rebels to gain more ground.

‘Tis The Season For Historical Revisionism: The Myth Of Jesus As A Palestinian

As the Christmas season approaches, a familiar refrain emerges from certain corners of ideological discourse: the insistence that Jesus of Nazareth was a Palestinian.

This claim, amplified through social media and public figures, serves not as an innocent misunderstanding of historical fact but as a pointed effort to rewrite history. It diminishes the profound Jewish identity of Jesus while advancing a politicized narrative that is neither supported by historical evidence nor respectful of the Christian faith. For Christians concerned with historical truth, this revisionist trend should not go unchallenged.

The False Narrative Unpacked

Recently, a viral TikTok video implored viewers to "Make Christmas Palestinian." The creator urged followers to adorn their trees with Palestinian decorations, teach their families that "Jesus was a Palestinian," and financially support Palestinian businesses. The rhetoric, steeped in anachronism, is not new. It mirrors claims made by prominent figures, such as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, in 2022, asserted that Jesus was born in "modern-day Palestine" and lived as a refugee under oppressive conditions akin to those faced by Palestinians today.

These assertions, while perhaps politically expedient, are fundamentally misleading. Jesus, a first-century Jew born in Bethlehem--a Judean town under Roman rule--lived in a context vastly different from modern political boundaries or identities. The term "Palestine" itself was not widely used until the second century AD, when the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the region in a deliberate effort to erase Jewish ties to the land following the Bar Kokhba revolt. To retroactively assign Jesus a Palestinian identity is to ignore the historical and cultural realities of his life.

Modern Misuses of the Narrative

The use of this narrative often coincides with broader efforts to delegitimize Israel and its historical connection to the Jewish people. Rep. Ilhan Omar, for example, has echoed similar rhetoric, quoting references to Jesus as a "Palestinian prophet," a characterization incompatible with both Christian theology and historical record. And where did she get such quotes from? Figures like Senator Raphael Warnock who as the former senior pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church perpetuated this misrepresentation, labeling Jesus as a "Palestinian prophet" during sermons.

While these statements might resonate with certain political audiences, they distort both history and faith. For Christians, Jesus' identity as the Jewish Messiah is foundational. His lineage, ministry, and fulfillment of Jewish prophecy are intrinsic to his role in salvation history. To conflate him with modern political constructs undermines the essence of Christian belief.

Historical Context vs. Political Agendas

The claim that Christmas is a "Palestinian story" also fails to acknowledge the harsh realities faced by Christians in Palestinian territories today. Bethlehem, the city traditionally recognized as Jesus' birthplace, has seen its Christian population dwindle from approximately 86% in the mid-20th century to less than 8% today.

This dramatic decline is attributed not to Israeli policies but to systematic persecution and marginalization under Palestinian Authority governance. Public celebrations of Christmas have been canceled in solidarity with Hamas, an Islamist group that fundamentally opposes Christianity. These realities are starkly at odds with the rosy image of Palestinian-Christian harmony promoted by revisionist narratives.

Defending Historical Truth

For Christians, the implications of this revisionism are deeply troubling. It seeks to sever Jesus from his Jewish roots and redefine him in terms that serve contemporary political agendas. This not only distorts history but also risks eroding the theological foundation of Christian faith. Jesus' Jewish identity is not a peripheral detail; it is central to understanding his mission, his teachings, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

The Christmas story is not a tale of modern political allegory. It is a testament to God's incarnation in human history, entering the world as a Jewish child in a specific cultural and historical context. Efforts to politicize this narrative undermine its universal message of hope, redemption, and peace.

The Call to Vigilance

As Christians celebrate this holy season, it is imperative to approach such claims with discernment and a commitment to truth. While the call to support those in need is undeniably part of the Christian ethos, it should not come at the expense of historical integrity or theological fidelity. The birth of Christ is not a story to be co-opted for political gain but a profound moment to be cherished in its authenticity.

In defending the true story of Christmas, Christians honor not only their faith but also the shared history that binds them to the Jewish people--a history that revisionists would prefer to erase.

For I say unto you, my children, it’s not a time to fear, but it’s a time to be excited, says the Lord, for as you look you see the soon return, says the Lord, my soon return, says the Lord.  There are signs everywhere, says the Lord, they’re banging on the door, they’re knocking the door down, says the Lord, look, look and know that I’m coming soon, says the Lord.  

:: 12-3-24 The most important news :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

Many people seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding where we are in the grand scheme of things. We are not living at a time of endless peace and prosperity. Instead, we are living at a time of war, famine, pestilence and major natural disasters. We really are living in the end times, and the coming year is going to be filled with crisis after crisis. The good news is that you get to be here for it. All of human history has been building up to this particular chapter, and you are one of the lucky ones that is going to get to experience it.

According to the Institute for Economics & Peace, the number of military conflicts that are currently active is the highest that we have seen since World War II…

Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Colombia… and so on. There are up to 56 active conflicts in the world, the highest number since World War II. Moreover, these carry an increasingly international component, with 92 countries involved in wars outside their borders. These are data from the latest Global Peace Index produced annually by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), a think tank that analyzes everything from military investment and the cost of violence to military laws and deaths in combat in 163 states and territories. “Getting the information is a challenge, but it allows us to compare dynamics. And what we see is a deterioration of peace over the last decade, especially in the last five years,” says Michael Collins, executive director of IEP.

Yes, we really are living at a time of wars and rumors of wars.

In fact, this week there were several more extremely alarming developments. For a detailed analysis, please see an article that I just wrote entitled “World War III Is Heating Up On Several Fronts, But Most Americans Have No Idea”. By this time next year, our world will look far different than it does right now. Leaders all over the globe have developed a really bad case of “war fever”, and we are closer to nuclear war than we have ever been before.

Meanwhile, hunger continues to intensify in many areas of the globe.

If you have plenty of food to eat, you should be quite grateful, because there are tens of millions of starving people that would trade places with you in a second.

In fact, there are tens of millions of people in the nation of Sudan alone that are dealing with severe hunger at this moment…

More than half the people in this nation of 50 million are suffering from severe hunger. Hundreds are estimated to be dying from starvation and hunger-related disease each day.

According to Reuters, every day one woman named Fleg walks two hours each way just to pick a few leaves so that she can fill her stomach with a “barely edible mush”…

So, every day after dawn, Fleg and other emaciated women from the camp make a two-hour trek to a forest to pick leaves off bushes. On a recent outing, several ate the leaves raw, to dull their hunger. Back at the camp, the women cooked the leaves, boiling them in a pot of water sprinkled with tamarind seeds to blunt the bitter taste.

For Fleg and the thousands of others in the camp, the barely edible mush is a daily staple. It isn’t enough. Some have starved to death, camp medics say. Fleg’s mother is one of them.

“I came here and found nothing to eat,” said Fleg. “There are days when I don’t know if I’m alive or dead.”

This is how people are really living on the other side of the planet.

Hunger is rising all over the world, but most Americans do not care because it has not affected them.

I believe that global hunger will get even worse in 2025, and I am convinced that pestilence will also be a major theme during the upcoming year.

Many of us are keeping a very close eye on the bird flu. It is being reported that the number of confirmed human cases in the state of California this year has now reached 31…

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on November 27 warned residents about a second batch of raw milk on retail shelves that has tested positive for avian flu virus, as official await the results from the latest bulk milk tank testing on the farm in Fresno County that produces the products.

In other developments, the CDPH reported two more infections in dairy workers, raising the state’s human cases this year to 31, all but 1 involving exposure to sick cows. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed those 2 new cases, pushing the national total this year to 55.

Will this be the next great public health crisis?

I don’t know.

Scientists are also deeply concerned about outbreaks of the Marburg virus, a new strain of Mpox, and Oropouch…

A warning has been issued to travelers over the spread of three diseases, including the Marburg virus. It’s a close cousin of Ebola that’s been dubbed the “bleeding eye” virus due to one of its symptoms.

Marburg, Mpox and Oropouch (commonly called “sloth fever”) are spreading in multiple countries, according to the UK Department of Health’s site, Travel Health Pro.

Marburg is a rare but “severe hemorrhagic fever that can cause serious illness and death,” the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says, adding that there is no treatment or vaccine for it. But, if detected early, supportive care with rehydration and symptomatic treatment improves survival, according to the Africa CDC.

I know that a lot of people don’t want to hear this, but what is eventually coming is going to be so much worse than the last pandemic.

We also live at a time when we are getting hammered by major natural disaster after major natural disaster.

In 2023, the number of “billion dollar disasters” in the United States set an all-time record, and we are very close to breaking that record this year…

With the addition of three recent Atlantic hurricanes, the U.S. has experienced 24 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters this year – a near-record number, according to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

On Thursday, NOAA’s NCEI released its assessment of the global climate, including U.S. weather disasters. Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton and one tornado outbreak were added to this year’s billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, bringing the total to 24 events as of October.

According to the NCEI, this year’s billion-dollar weather and climate disasters are second only to last year, which had 27 by this point in the year.

Needless to say, a lot of people out there just want to hear that everything is going to be rainbows and lollipops from now on.

But that isn’t the truth.

The truth is that the times that we are living in are going to be extremely challenging. In my new book entitled “Why”, I explain that God has told us history in advance and that this is extremely powerful evidence for the Christian faith. If you can show someone that God told us very specific things about the times that we are living in centuries in advance, it is going to be very difficult for that individual to ignore the gospel.

So many “experts” are giving us their opinions about what our future will look like.

But if you want to know what our future is going to look like, just read the Book of Revelation.

We are the Book of Revelation generation, and there is no other time in all of human history that I would have rather lived than right now.

Syrian Christians Face New Threat of Genocide from Muslim Jihadists

Persecution watchers urge Christian aid agencies to “prepare for a massive relief operation”

By Jules Gomes Published on December 2, 2024

One of the world’s oldest Christian communities is facing extermination from jihadists, as Islamic militants linked to Al-Qaeda have seized the Syrian city of Aleppo –home to an estimated 3.5 million people, including more than 50,000 Christians.

While Aleppo has seen a mass exodus of some 200,000 Christians in the past 12 years, the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of large parts of the city on Sunday, prompting warnings from persecution watchers of a fresh “religious cleansing” of Christians.

“It looks like we are now heading for another major crisis for Syrian Christians,” Dr. Martin Parsons, director of The Lindisfarne Centre for the Study of Christian Persecution, told The Stream. “Christian aid agencies need to prepare for a massive relief operation.”

“Effective and Deadly” Muslim Militants

Parsons explained that HTS is a direct affiliate of Al Qaeda set up under the name of the Jabhat al-Nusra Front in 2011 with the help of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group.

The BBC described HTS as “one of the most effective and deadly of the groups” ranged against Syria’s President Bashir al-Assad, driven primarily by “jihadist ideology” rather than “revolutionary zeal.”

The Iraqi Christian Foundation warned on its X account that

Syrian Christians in #Aleppo, #Syria, are in grave danger from the invading demonic #AlQaeda/#ISIS terrorists who have already begun removing all Christmas decorations and beheading captured soldiers.

Western Media are cheering on the terrorists and calling them by the propaganda term ‘rebels.’ Please pray for our fellow Christians and other minorities in harm’s way in Syria.

“Christians of Aleppo have fled to the Kurdish neighbourhoods where the Kurds, even the elderly women, are taking up arms to defend Kurds and Christians,” Middle Eastern researcher and peace advocate Hemdad Mehristani reported.

“Unfortunately, ethnic cleansing of Kurds and religious minorities is currently taking place in Aleppo. Tens of thousands of its Kurdish, Armenian, and Assyrian population are forced out of the city by the Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists of Turkey,” Crisis Watch confirmed.

Targeting Christians

Jihadist groups that are dominant in the Syrian opposition have been specifically targeting Christians nationwide — beginning with the abduction of Bishop Yohanna Ibrahim, head of the Syrian Orthodox Church in Aleppo, and Bishop Boulos Yaziji, head of the Greek Orthodox Church in Syria, who were kidnapped during a humanitarian trip in April 2013.

“No one knows who abducted them, but suspicion fell on the Jabhat al-Nusra Front — who are now HTS — the group [that] just seized large parts of Aleppo,” Parsons, a former aid worker to Afghanistan and an expert on Islamic theology, noted.

“Both Islamic State and other jihadist groups massacred and abducted large numbers of Christians. Churches were systematically destroyed in an attempt to religiously cleanse whole areas of Syria of its non-Muslim population,” he told The Stream.

“Islamic State also reimplemented aspects of shari’a allowing the enslavement of non-Muslims — and produced a slave prince list with different values for different age Yazidi and Christian women.”

Tenth Anniversary of ISIS Genocide

In August, the U.S. State Department released a statement marking the “10th Anniversary of ISIS’s Genocide Against Yezidis, Christians, and Shia Muslims.”

While the U.S. government estimates that 10% of the Syrian population is Christian, of the 2.2 million Christians who lived in the country prior to the civil war, Open Doors USA estimates that only approximately 579,000 remain (2.8 % of the population).

Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day.

Most Christians belong to Orthodox churches, like the Syriac Orthodox Church, Eastern Catholic churches such as the Maronite Church, or the Assyrian Church of the East and other Nestorian churches.

“Many of the Christians in Aleppo are descendants of the victims of the Armenian and Assyrian genocides (1915-23) when up to three million Christians are estimated to have been killed,” the Lindisfarne Centre explained.

“During that time the Ottoman government forced Christians living in what is now Turkey on a ‘death march’ into the Syrian desert during which vast numbers died of starvation, murder, or rape at the hands of Kurdish militias,” it added.

“Providing accurate statistics on the number of Christians in most Middle Eastern countries is notoriously difficult,” Parsons acknowledged.

Christians Living in “Limbo”

Vincent Gelot, the Lebanon and Syria project manager for L’Œuvre d’Orient, a Catholic aid organization that assists Eastern Christians, said that while “there were around 150,000 Christians in Aleppo in 2011, today only 20,000 to 25,000 remain.”

“We have no idea what might happen next. For Christians, time is suspended,” a local clergyman, speaking on condition of anonymity, told French Catholic media La Croix International. “But this is just the beginning,” he warned.

“Between 500 and 1,000 Christians are trapped on the roads,” Carla, a 34-year-old Syrian Christian who works with the NGO Hope Center to organize the reception of displaced people in Syrian parishes, told La Croix International.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, has reported a staggering death toll of over 400, including 214 insurgents. The group also confirmed that the offensive was coordinated from Turkey.

Maronite Archbishop of Aleppo Joseph Tobji described the situation as being in “limbo,” noting that the militants took over after a surprise offensive. “Life here started up again. The situation was calm, but now everything is closed.

“The army has left Aleppo and the city is now in the hands of the opposition militias. There are rumors about the arrival of Syrian army troops, but nothing is certain. We live in uncertainty,” he said.

Parsons, who has been actively campaigning for asylum for displaced Christians, agreed.

“When this happened 10 years ago, hardly any Syrian Christians were recommended by the U.N. High Commission for Refugees to the U.K.’s Syrian refugee scheme, despite being specifically targeted,” he said.

“We are now facing a potentially similar crisis. Will the world simply look the other way?”

Christianity has existed in Syria since New Testament times. Jesus’s followers were first called Christians in Syrian Antioch (Acts 11:26). Paul lived and taught in Syrian Antioch for 14 years (Galatians 1:21-2:1). He suffered abuse in Antioch of Pisidia, well west of Syria (2 Timothy 3:11). Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, was martyred in Rome at the end of the first century.

Dr. Jules Gomes, (BA, BD, MTh, PhD), has a doctorate in biblical studies from the University of Cambridge. Currently a Vatican-accredited journalist based in Rome, he is the author of five books and several academic articles. Gomes lectured at Catholic and Protestant seminaries and universities and was canon theologian and artistic director at Liverpool Cathedral.

Bible Sales Are Skyrocketing: What’s Going On?

By Billy Hallowell

Editor December 2, 2024

God’s truth is reaching new eyes, with Bibles reportedly flying off shelves this year.

In fact, Bible sales are up 22% this year through the end of October when compared to last year’s sales during the same time period, making for “a golden age of Bible publishing,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

And here’s why this figure matters. U.S. book sales were up less than 1% during that same period, meaning the Bible’s growth in sales far outpaced what was happening more generally in the print literary space.

The WSJ crunched the numbers and found Bible sales increased from 9.7 million in 2019 to 14.2 million in 2023. In the first 10 months of 2024, 13.7 million copies were sold, with still two months left to count.

So, why the increase, you ask? It seems chaos and uncertainty in the world, among other factors, could be turning people back to the Lord.

“People are experiencing anxiety themselves, or they’re worried for their children and grandchildren,” Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, told the WSJ. “It’s related to artificial intelligence, election cycles…and all of that feeds a desire for assurance that we’re going to be OK.”

One bookstore manager told the outlet she’s seeing many first-time buyers come in looking for the Scriptures — people she said are on a quest for “hope.”

Young people, in particular, could be looking for answers to some of life’s tough questions, especially as cultural confusion grows. And with new editions and versions of the Bible hitting the market, there are more options than ever for these individuals to engage in Scripture.

Some of the other potential reasons for the increase mentioned by the WSJ are celebrities speaking out about faith and influencers on YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms sharing their beliefs with new audiences.

As CBN News reported in 2023, research backs the idea young people have a growing curiosity about faith. The “State of the Bible 2023” report released at the time did reveal a steady decline among young people engaging with Scripture. Yet, 44% of Gen Z adults between the ages of 18-26 were either very or extremely curious about Jesus and/or the Bible.

And nearly half of Gen Z said the Bible has transformed their lives. Among older Gen Z adults aged 18-21, 49% reported this transformation, with 52% of those aged 22-26 stating the same.

Months later, Dr. John Plake, chief program officer at the American Bible Society, told CBN News 21% of Gen Z adults said in his organization’s 2024 “State of the Bible” survey — the wave that followed the 2023 data — that “they’ve actually increased their use of the Bible within the last year.”

“They’re leaning into the Bible,” Plake said. “They’re really trying to engage in their faith and they are kind of a bright hope for us as a young generation of American adults.”

Other recently released data shows the full power a regular connection with God can have on a young person’s life. It will be interesting to see if the trend continues in 2025 — and beyond.

Israel National News: A Canadian gaming platform is selling a game allowing players to recreate the October 7th massacre.

The National Post reports that the game The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque was released two years ago. A recent update allows players to take part in the October 7th massacre as part of the Hamas's elite Nukhba force.

In the game's promotional video, an Arabic speaker says: "Where are the ones with the explosive belts? Where are they? Come here, I want a belt to blow myself up among the Zionists. It is a Jihad, a Jihad of victory or martyrdom."

IDF soldiers are depicted in the same way they are seen in Hamas videos.

Not only is the game available in Canada, but it was also offered at a significant discount during Black Friday sales.

How Montreal became the antisemitism capital of North America

By Dr. Gad Saad  Published Nov. 30, 2024, 8:00 a.m. ET

There is an old saying that when the United States sneezes, Canada catches a cold. Recent events in Canada, however, suggest that the US should immunize itself from a dangerously virulent virus that has swept across the nation — nowhere more so than in Montreal: Open Jew hatred.

According to the Toronto Sun, last year, Montreal has endured the most antisemitic hate crimes of any city in North America.

Indeed, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel, antisemitic incidents in Canada have increased by an astounding 670%.

Canadian Jews — a miniscule 1.4% of the nation’s population — were the victims of 70% of religious-based hate crimes during roughly the same period.

Jewish schools in Montreal have been shot at, and Montreal universities, including my home university of Concordia, have become cesspools of anti-Jewish harassment.

As a Jewish professor who has weighed in publicly on these difficulties, the situation has gotten so precarious that I have taken an unpaid leave from Concordia University and joined Northwood University in Michigan.

Last week, Montreal was rocked by violent protests laden with antisemitic overtones.

Aggressive agitators shattered shop windows, tossed smoke bombs and torched cars. An owner of a Second Cup Café franchise, ironically located at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital, was caught on camera expressing genocidal hate of the Jews.

Where is all of this Jew hatred coming from?

Currently, the three key sources of Jew hatred are Islamic-based hate, ultra-right neo-Nazi types and the academic left, which promulgates the narrative that Jews are the brutal colonizers of the otherwise peace-loving Palestinians.

Within the Montreal ecosystem the neo-Nazi dynamic is less prevalent, but the other two sources have been on overdrive for decades.

The Quebec government has long fretted about protecting its French linguistic heritage.

As a result, they have opened their borders to hundreds of thousands of immigrants from French-speaking Islamic nations who might otherwise not share the secular and liberal values that define Quebec society, and who hail from societies defined by ubiquitous Jew hatred.

As long as the conquerors speak French, the eventual erasure of the host society will surely be painless.

The adage “demography is destiny” is veridical for a reason.

The prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is from Montreal.

He is the product of a deeply progressive educational ecosystem that promotes postmodernism, radical feminism, a commitment to DEI and cultural relativism.

When he was still a mere member of parliament, Trudeau famously became enraged that cultural practices such as honor killings were labeled as barbaric by the then conservative government of Canada led by Stephen Harper.

The barbaric acts did not shock him.  Calling them “barbaric” is what drew his ire.

Trudeau’s desire to exhibit Islamophilic tendencies is so pronounced that whenever a grave antisemitic incident takes place, he is quick to remind us that we must combat Islamophobia (such as he did after shots were fired at a pair of Jewish schools in Montreal last year.)

But it’s actually antisemitism that is running rampant across Montreal, a city now filled with intimidating protests against “Zionism.”

These are taking place on campuses, on the streets, across from synagogues, and in shopping malls.

Everywhere that you turn, masked individuals wearing keffiyehs can be seen uttering the usual chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “globalize the intifada.”

Hamas attack 6

Since the Hamas attack on Israel, antisemitic incidents in Canada have risen by nearly 700%. ZUMAPRESS.com

Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante did not think that the protests from this past week were antisemitic, condemning them instead as “pro-Palestinian” and “anti-NATO.”

A senior administrator at Concordia recently told me that there was no Jew hatred despite the fact that university president Graham Carr, testified on Parliament Hill about the endemic Jew hatred on campus. Ignoring the problem is not going to cause it to go away.

Incidentally, as the city was burning last week, Trudeau was unable to address the violence because was busy attending a Taylor Swift concert.

Meanwhile, this past Sunday a Montreal rabbi was asked to leave the downtown area as his open Jewishness (wearing a kippah) might be viewed as provocative.

This is the reality that I grew up with in Lebanon: “Please don’t flaunt your Jewishness. It might incite violence.” Unchecked immigration from societies endemically hostile to Jews — along with a weak host society parasitized by ideological rapture — create the perfect mix for Jew hatred to flourish in an ecosystem of cowardice and apathy.

The United States dodged an immeasurable existential bullet by electing Donald Trump. Had Kamala Harris won (she also grew up in Montreal), the United States would have headed down the path of many European countries and Canada, namely an increasingly more dangerous environment for Jews.

Do not make the mistakes that we have made in Canada. Be vigilant in protecting American exceptionalism and offer zero tolerance for such hate to fester, for I can assure you that it will otherwise metastasize into an incurable societal malady.

In the Middle East, there is an old expression “First the Saturday people then the Sunday people,” (or a variant such as “After Saturday Comes Sunday”) — namely that the Jews might be the first to be targeted but Christians are inevitably next.

Do not allow these realities from which many of us escaped to set root in the US.

Do not tolerate belief systems that are antithetical to the fundamental principles on which the United States was founded.

Top Cardiologist Drops Bombshell on Sudden Deaths Crisis: ‘Vaccines Are the Smoking Gun’

By Frank Bergman November 20, 2024 - 12:54 pm

One of the world’s most eminent cardiologists has just dropped a bombshell on the global crisis of sudden cardiac arrest deaths.

In a new interview, American cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough raised the alarm over his recent peer-reviewed study showing surging excess cardiopulmonary arrest deaths among people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

McCullough and his team of renowned experts conducted a major study into surges in excess mortality since the “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021.

The researchers investigated the almost universally vaccinated 2.2 million residents of King County, Washington.

The study found a bone-chilling 1,236% surge in excess deaths caused by heart failure and sudden cardiac arrests among the Covid-vaccinated population.

The researchers gathered pre-pandemic data to establish a baseline of excess deaths.

When compared to the official data for 2020 to 2023, they found:

2020: 11 excess heart attack and cardiac arrest deaths

2021: 75 excess heart attack and cardiac arrest deaths

2022: 111 excess heart attack and cardiac arrest deaths

2023: 147 excess heart attack and cardiac arrest deaths

The deaths in 2023 marked a shocking 1,236% increase compared to 2020.

During an interview on the WorldviewTube podcast, McCullough told host Brannon Howse that Covid mRNA shots are responsible for the surge in deaths.

“So it looks like the vaccines are the smoking gun,” Dr. McCullough concluded.

“This is now fully peer-reviewed in the emergency medicine literature.

“We’ve messaged the Medic One unit in Seattle.

“They clearly need to do more research to figure out how soon these vaccines were administered and to whom.”

McCullough and his colleagues have been increasingly sounding the alarm to warn the public about the ongoing damage to the health of those who received the “vaccines.”

The top doctor has been at the forefront of exposing the harms of the Covid mRNA injections.

As Slay News reported, McCollough issued a warning to the public last week that Covid mRNA “vaccines” were created to “strict military criteria” to serve as a “bioweapon.”

McCullough raised the alarm in a new interview while revealing the devastating impact on humanity caused by the mass global vaccination campaign.

“As a doctor, I have never seen something so injurious to the human body,” McCullough revealed.

McCullough continued by citing multiple studies, alongside his own findings, that prove the injections have caused unprecedented levels of death and injury.

The mRNA from the injections “invades the brain,” he explains.

“It invades the heart,” he continues.

“It causes brain and heart damage.

“It invades the bone marrow.

“It stimulates antibodies to attack cells and platelets.”

“It causes blood clotting and damage to blood vessels like we’ve never seen.”

He also noted that data from the University of Pittsburgh shows that the “vaccines” cause cancer.

“Since when do we have a protein that actually injures the brain, injures the heart, the bone marrow, the immune system, causes blood clotting, and potentially causes cancer in a single protein?” McCullough asked.

“It’s a weapon,” he concluded.

“According to strict military criteria, it’s a bioweapon.”

The warning from McCullough comes just days after a top government official in the Netherlands dropped an explosive whistleblowing statement in the Dutch parliament.

As Slay News reported, Dutch Health Minister Fleur Agema has admitted that the Covid was a “military operation” and revealed that her nation was taking orders from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) during the pandemic.

Agema has revealed that the “military operation” was led by NATO and the Netherlands’ National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV).

Warheads In Phoenix Ghost Kamikaze Drones Blast Straight Down Like Air Burst Artillery Rounds

Air-bursting top-down attacks offer benefits against troops and softer-skinned targets in trenches or behind cover, as well as ones out in the open.

Joseph Trevithick Posted on Nov 27, 2024

With its previously highly secretive Phoenix Ghost family of kamikaze drones now having emerged fully into the light, AEVEX Aerospace has been more openly discussing their capabilities. One especially interesting detail has now emerged: the different Phoenix Ghost types can be configured to launch attacks straight down while passing overhead, akin to an air-bursting artillery shell, rather than having to careen into their targets and detonate.

The top-down attack capability was a particular highlight of a Phoenix Ghost promotional video AEVEX released earlier this month, seen below. The footage was captured during Northern Strike 24-2, a joint-service exercise the Michigan National Guard led this past summer that included a variety of air, ground, and maritime components, including JSX-2 microjets masquerading as cruise missiles and drones. AEVEX had offered its first official details about the Phoenix Ghost family, originally developed as part of an effort under the Air Force’s Big Safari special projects office and then rushed to Ukraine in the wake of Russia’s invasion in 2022, last month. Information about the drones, or even what they looked like, had been extremely closely guarded before then.

AEVEX brought three types of Phoenix Ghost drones – the Dagger, Dominator, and Disruptor – to Northern Strike 24-2. There is evidence of all three of these types being in service in Ukraine. At least one other member of the family, the Atlas, is known to exist, but it is unclear if Ukrainian forces have received them in addition to the other types.

“The Dagger is actually one of our earliest designs,” a member of AEVEX says in the video. “So, 55 pounds with a little bit of a smaller warhead and really going about 100-150 kilometers [range-wise]. … a small unit can operate it and make a difference on the battle space in specific tactical scenarios.”

The Dominators are … really our heavy truck system that’s out there,” that same individual continues. “[It has] 100 pounds worth of payload [and] flies over five hours. [It] really can take a lot of whatever you want to carry a long way or loiter over a particular area for a long time.”

When it comes to Dominator, a picture, seen below and said to have been taken in Russia proper, emerged earlier this year showing what looks to be one of the drones. However, questions have been raised about whether this might be a locally-produced derivative of some kind given that the U.S. government had imposed, at least publicly, significant restrictions on Ukrainian forces using American-made munitions to attack targets inside Russian territory at that time. Certain exceptions and caveats were known to exist at the time. Drones can stray far from planned flight paths for various reasons, as well. American authorities have more recently loosened the restrictions in question.

“The Disruptor is really a simple design with a lot of capability,” he adds. “So, it’s a simple design in terms of manufacturing. It’s also a simple design in terms of operations. So, very easy to put together out in the field, but still with – now you’re talking about 50 pounds payload to be able to carry that again, five to six hours [in terms of endurance]. So, still packs quite a punch.”

New Brics banking system would render sanctions useless, ex-chancellor warns

2nd December

By PA News Agency

A plan by Brics countries to create a separate banking payments system could render international sanctions useless, a former chancellor of the Exchequer has warned.

Brics, an alliance of major developing countries, includes Russia, China, India and Brazil as founding members, and now also South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ethiopia.

Lord Lamont of Lerwick warned that a rival payments system would be a “major threat to the Western-led financial system” if it ever came to pass.

His comments came after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his plan to de-dollarise the world economy at the latest Brics summit last month.

If it ever happened, it would be a major threat to the Western-led financial system, but above all it would make it impossible for the West to impose sanctions on countries like Russia, China or Iran or other malign countries

Lord Lamont

Lord Lamont told the House of Lords on Thursday: “While the idea of a Brics payments system, which was announced by Mr Putin at the Kazan Brics conference, may seem rather fanciful and a long way off, nevertheless it needs to be taken seriously.

“If it ever happened, it would be a major threat to the Western-led financial system, but above all it would make it impossible for the West to impose sanctions on countries like Russia, China or Iran or other malign countries.”

Financial Secretary to the Treasury Lord Livermore said: “The Government believes an integrated global financial system is the best way to achieve global prosperity and financial stability.

Fragmentation is damaging to the global economy, whereas deep liquid markets boost economic efficiency. That is why we will continue to work with our international partners to strengthen the rules-based international system and our interconnected financial and economic systems

Financial Secretary to the Treasury Lord Livermore

“Fragmentation is damaging to the global economy, whereas deep liquid markets boost economic efficiency.

“That is why we will continue to work with our international partners to strengthen the rules-based international system and our interconnected financial and economic systems.”

He added: “I won’t comment on the specific proposals announced by the Brics countries. I wouldn’t want to speculate as to what systems may or may not come into common usage.

“What I will say is the Government believes very much that the current international model of the financial system works effectively and that we will continue to work with our international partners to maintain an interconnected financial and economic system.

“On the question of sanctions effectiveness, of course we continue to believe that economic sanctions are an important and effective tool and will continue to utilise those sanctions where necessary.

“In terms of the potential to undermine them, we will pursue any necessary steps with our allies to maintain the interconnected system and to reduce opportunities for the circumvention or evasion of international sanctions.”

Lord Lamont raised concerns about reports that the Brics payment system would be based on technology from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which has been developing a cross-border payments platform called Project mBridge.

However, BIS has denied any link between Brics and mBridge.

BIS general manager Agustin Carstens said: “mBridge is not the ‘Brics bridge’ – I have to say categorically. mBridge was not created to cater to the needs of the BRICS. It was put together to satisfy broad central bank necessities.

“We at the BIS – I think this an opportunity to set the record straight – we always try to be a good global citizen. And the BIS does not operate with any countries, nor can its products be used by any countries that are subject to sanctions. This will continue to be the case.

“And all central bank members are in this mindset that we need to be observant of sanctions and whatever products we put together should not be a conduit to violate sanctions.”

Former top diplomat Lord Hannay of Chiswick warned that President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to significantly raise tariffs on imported goods to the US could accelerate the Brics countries’ plan.

The independent crossbench peer said: “If the President-elect of the US goes ahead with some of the more extreme versions of his tariffs ideas, this is likely to add momentum and an impetus to the attempts by the Brics to break away from the financial system that currently exists.”

Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Kramer warned that the current international payments system is “hapless” and that, if the Brics countries manage to create one that works better, users will flock to this alternative.

She said: “Because of my complex family, I need to transfer funds across international borders several times a year.

“The system assumes I’m a terrorist, the banks have rip-off charges and exchange rates and obstructive technology, and even the new online apps for which I had high hopes have very severe limitations.

“Do Western governments, including ours, understand that, if they fail to remedy this absolutely hapless international payments system and the Brics devise any international payments system that’s even halfway efficient and reasonably priced, users will simply flock to the Brics system out of sheer frustration?”

Lord Livermore said he did not not think it would be “appropriate” to comment on the Trump administration’s future policies, but said the UK will “work closely with the US on a range of security issues, including sanctions”.

On the problems with the current international payments system, he told Lady Kramer: “I share some of her frustrations in this regard; I’m always happy to vouch for her that she’s not a terrorist, I’m very certain of that fact.

“There is obviously an extremely serious point that she’s making and fragmentation along the lines that she describes would be very damaging to the global economy. We must ensure that doesn’t proceed.”

Russian missiles more powerful than those supplied to Ukraine by West – Putin

No weapons deliveries to Kiev by Washington and its allies will change the situation of the front line, the president has said

The Russian military possesses longer-range and more powerful missiles than any of the Western analogues supplied to Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has said.

Russia’s Iskander short-range ballistic missile system has a similar payload to all three modifications of the US-made ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System), but boasts a longer range, Putin said during the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, on Thursday.

“The new American PrSM (Precision Strike Missile) system is in no way superior to its Russian counterparts in terms of its characteristics,” he added.

Earlier this month, the US, UK and France allowed Ukraine to use the long-range weapons that they’d supplied earlier to conduct strikes on internationally-recognized Russian territory. Several such attacks have already taken place. Kiev’s forces are currently equipped with American ATACMS as well as British Storm Shadow and French SCALP missiles.

“We know, of course, how many relevant weapons systems our potential opponent has; where exactly they are located; how many weapons have been delivered to Ukraine and how many are planned to be delivered,” Putin stressed.

The Russian president said that “no arms deliveries, even of the most advanced weapons, to Ukraine will change the situation on the battlefield.”

He also pointed out that Moscow vastly surpasses Ukraine’s Western backers in terms of production of long-range weapons.

“As for the output of the relevant missile systems, in Russia it is ten times higher than the combined production in all NATO countries, and next year it will grow by another 25-30%,” Putin said.

The president noted that Russia’s arsenal already includes Kalibr cruise missiles as well as Kinzhal and Zircon hypersonic missiles, which “in terms of their characteristics have no analogues in the world.” Their production is now “in full swing” and is being extended further, he said.

In the coming the years, new state-of-the-art hypersonic systems would be added to the country’s “menu,” Putin promised.

Why US and Its NATO Allies Can’t Intercept Russia’s Oreshnik Missiles

November 23, 2024

The Oreshnik missile flies at a speed of Mach 10, or 3 km per second, retired Russian Army colonel and military analyst Viktor Litovkin told Sputnik, explaining why it can’t be intercepted by modern air defenses.

“The unique feature of the Oreshnik missile system is that, firstly, it is a medium-range missile – it flies to a distance of 1,000 km to 5,500 km – and secondly, it is hypersonic, flying at a speed of Mach 10,” retired Russian Army colonel and military analyst Viktor Litovkin told Sputnik.

TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/

Mach 10, or 10 times the speed of sound, equates to 3 km per second, the pundit noted. There is not a single air defense or missile defense system in the world capable of intercepting those hypersonic missiles, Litovkin stressed.

“The West does not have missiles that fly at such a speed or hypersonic missiles at all,” the pundit continued. “Although the US has repeatedly boasted that it has such missiles, it has never demonstrated a missile flight. They appeared to show missiles that flew at a supersonic speed of 5.5 times the speed of sound or Mach 5.5. However, hypersonic speed begins at Mach 6-7.”

The missile’s operating principle is similar to that demonstrated by the Kinzhal hypersonic missile, which is launched by the supersonic MiG-31K aircraft, or the Avangard hypersonic system’s glide vehicle accelerated by the UR-100N UТТKh intercontinental ballistic missile, the expert explained.

Russia used an advanced hypersonic missile for the first time in recent strike, Ukraine claims

By Brad Lendon, CNN  4 minute read

Updated 1:24 AM EST,

Ukraine claims it has evidence Russia fired an advanced hypersonic missile – one that experts say is almost impossible to shoot down – for the first time in the almost 2-year-old war.

The government-run Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise said in a Telegram post that debris recovered after a February 7 attack on the Ukrainian capital pointed to the use of a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile by the Russian military.

“Markings on the parts and fragments, the identification of components and parts, and the features of the relevant type of weapon” point to the first-ever use of the Zircon in combat, said the institute, which is part of Ukraine’s Justice Ministry.

The Telegram post was accompanied by a video showing dozens of pieces of debris believed to be from the new missile.

Ukrainian authorities reported four people were killed and 38 others injured in Kyiv during the February 7 attacks, but no casualties have been directly attributed to the alleged Zircon missile.

There was also no mention of the launch platform for the missile, though previous reports in Russian state media say it has been deployed on a warship.
