We Are Closer To All-Out War In Europe, In Asia, And In The Middle East Than Most People Realize

February 17, 2025

We really are at one of the most pivotal moments in human history. Decisions that are being made now will have very serious implications for every man, woman and child on the entire planet. We have entered a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and we have seen so much death and destruction over the past couple of years. But now a new administration is in control in Washington and we have reached a fork in the road. Will global leaders take advantage of this small window of opportunity to establish peace, or will they choose all-out war?

The good news is that for the first time in a long time, U.S. officials are talking with the Russians. On Monday, Marco Rubio traveled to Saudi Arabia, and it is expected that he will be talking with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about Ukraine while he is there…

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was on his way to the country, amid expectations that peace talks on ending the war in Ukraine are about to begin.

This is a very positive development, but negotiations with the Russians will certainly not be easy.

For one thing, the Ukrainians and our European allies are demanding that the Russians make territorial concessions, and the Russians are completely ruling that out…

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday ruled out territorial concessions to Ukraine, setting out a tough opening stance on the eve of talks on Tuesday with U.S. President Donald Trump’s team in Saudi Arabia.

Trump said after a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday that the two sides would begin talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

The Russians are winning the war and having been steadily moving forward in recent months.

They see absolutely no need to give any territory that they have captured back.

The longer the Ukrainians wait to make a deal, the more territory they will lose.

The Russians have all the leverage, and they know it.

The Ukrainians and our European allies are also adamant that Ukraine must be allowed to join NATO and that western troops must be allowed to serve as “peacekeepers” in Ukraine once the war is over.

In fact, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer just admitted that he is “ready and willing” to deploy British troops for such a purpose…

Europe is growing more hawkish in its rhetoric, seeing the need for a counterbalance against Trump efforts to secure lasting peace in Ukraine, which recently included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announcing that the US does not see future NATO membership for Ukraine as a realistic possibility.

The latest shot across the bow is British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announcing that the UK is “ready and willing” to put British peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine, and stressing it’s essential that the West backs Kyiv toward “securing a lasting peace in Ukraine that safeguards its sovereignty for the long term” which essential” to deter Putin from “further aggression.” There is as yet no framework for negotiated peace in place, and yet Starmer is talking boots on the ground.

Over and over again, the Russians have rejected the idea of Ukraine joining NATO.

And over and over again, the Russians have rejected the idea of western “peacekeepers” in Ukraine once the war is over.

Peacekeepers from neutral nations might work. If I was negotiating this deal, I might suggest that.

But from my perspective, it will be nearly impossible for the Trump administration to come up with a deal that will be acceptable for both sides.

Of course Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is already sabotaging the peace talks between the United States and Russia before they have even started. He just told Meet The Press that he will “never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine”.

Zelenskyy refuses to talk to Vladimir Putin, and he doesn’t want anyone else talking to him either.

Instead, Zelenskyy just continues to try to come up with new ways to drag western powers directly into the conflict. His latest scheme would result in the creation of an “armed forces of Europe”…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the creation of an “armed forces of Europe” to guard against Russia, appearing to suggest that the United States may no longer come to the continent’s aid.

Zelensky, speaking on the second day of the Munich Security Conference, said Ukraine’s three-year fight against an invading Russian army has proved that a foundation exists for the creation of a European army that has long been discussed among some continental leaders.

“I really believe that time has come,” he said. “The armed forces of Europe must be created.”

There already is an “armed forces of Europe”.

It is called NATO.

And Zelenskyy has been trying over and over again to drag NATO into the war, because that is Ukraine’s best chance of winning.

At this point, I think that Zelenskyy is deeply frustrated with the Trump administration. Earlier this month, the Trump administration sent him a contract that would give the U.S. a tremendous amount of control over the natural resources in Ukraine…

The Telegraph has obtained a draft of the pre-decisional contract, marked “Privileged & Confidential’ and dated Feb 7 2025. It states that the US and Ukraine should form a joint investment fund to ensure that “hostile parties to the conflict do not benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine”.

The agreement covers the “economic value associated with resources of Ukraine”, including “mineral resources, oil and gas resources, ports, other infrastructure (as agreed)”, leaving it unclear what else might be encompassed. “This agreement shall be governed by New York law, without regard to conflict of laws principles,” it states.

The US will take 50pc of recurring revenues received by Ukraine from extraction of resources, and 50pc of the financial value of “all new licences issued to third parties” for the future monetisation of resources. There will be “a lien on such revenues” in favour of the US. “That clause means ‘pay us first, and then feed your children’,” said one source close to the negotiations.

Once they understood what this agreement said, officials in Kyiv started freaking out.

Just like the Biden administration did, the Ukrainians wanted the Trump administration to hand over giant piles of money with no strings attached.

Clearly that is not going to happen.

The Ukrainians are holding a losing hand. They should make peace with the Russians while they still control most of their country.

If no peace deal materializes within the next few months, I believe that the Russians will strongly consider sending a massive force at Kyiv from the north in an attempt to end the war by force by the end of 2025. At this stage the Ukrainian armed forces have deteriorated so badly that I think such a move would be successful.

Of course if the Russians did take Kyiv, that wouldn’t cause the Trump administration and the Europeans to back down. Instead, that would just push us to the brink of nuclear war.

Meanwhile, U.S. relations with China just took another turn for the worse…

China accused the United States on Monday of a “serious regression” in its position on Taiwan, after the State Department updated the Taiwan section of its website to remove a reference to the independence of the Beijing-claimed island.

The State Department fact sheet on U.S.-Taiwan relations continues to state Washington’s opposition to any unilateral changes to the status quo from either China or Taiwan, a self-ruling democracy that rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims. But the phrase “we do not support Taiwan independence” appears to have been removed Thursday in what the State Department says was a routine update.

The change was cheered by Taiwan, while China said it “sends a wrong signal to the Taiwan independence forces” and urged the U.S. to “immediately correct this mistake.”

We are far closer to war with China than most people realize.

A trade war between our two nations has already erupted, we are headed for a showdown with China over control of the Panama Canal, and the Chinese have been preparing for the day when they will invade Taiwan.

But the most imminent threat of all-out war is in the Middle East.

The Trump administration and the Israeli government are in full agreement that Iran’s push for nuclear weapons must end.

Earlier this month, President Trump indicated that making a deal would be preferable to “bombing the hell” out of Iran…

US President Donald Trump said he would prefer to make a deal with Iran rather than “bombing the hell out of it,” in a media interview published Saturday, adding that Israel would not carry out a strike if there were an agreement.

“I would like a deal done with Iran on non-nuclear. I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it,” he told the New York Post aboard Air Force One on Friday. “They don’t want to die. Nobody wants to die.”

“If we made the deal, Israel wouldn’t bomb them,” he predicted, though he also said he would not discuss potential negotiations with Tehran.

The Trump administration has decided to impose “maximum economic pressure” on Iran in a last-ditch attempt to force the Iranians to make a deal.

But it won’t work.  The Iranians have no intention of making a deal.

So it won’t be too long before the Trump administration and the Israelis are faced with a decision. Either they will choose to allow Iran to build nukes, or they will choose the “bombing the hell out of it” option.

I have a feeling that the second alternative will prevail.

So enjoy this little bubble of relative calm while you still can, because it is not likely to last for too much longer.

Libya: The battleground of superpowers, Islamism and corruption

Analysis: Since Gaddafi’s 2011 assassination, warlords, extremists and foreign powers have exploited Libya’s instability, fueling terrorism, migration crises and Russian expansion; these threats endanger US allies and global stability, requiring urgent action

Amine Ayoub|Yesterday | 16:31

Since the 2011 NATO-backed overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has spiraled into chaos, becoming a playground for warlords, foreign powers and Islamist militants. What was once a nation of immense wealth and strategic importance is now drowning in corruption, economic ruin and endless conflict.

But why does this matter to the U.S., and why should the world be paying attention? The answer lies in a deadly mix of geopolitics, terrorism and a crisis that could explode at any moment.

The United States has a direct stake in Libya’s future, whether it likes it or not. With vast oil reserves, a strategic Mediterranean location and a crumbling security structure, Libya is both an opportunity and a ticking time bomb. Situated just across the Mediterranean Sea from Europe, Libya serves as a crucial geopolitical pivot point, with potential ramifications for global trade routes, security and regional stability. The country’s vast natural resources, especially its oil, could hold the key to stabilizing the North African region, but its current instability threatens the region's fragile peace.

Libya’s internal turmoil is having rippling effects far beyond its borders. The chaos has allowed foreign powers such as Russia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to project their influence into the region, vying for control over the country’s resources and strategic positioning. With Russia reinforcing military bases in Libya’s eastern region, the situation is dangerously reminiscent of Syria, where a proxy conflict between global superpowers raged on. If left unchecked, Libya could become another battleground for Russian expansion, undermining U.S. influence in the region.

Moreover, the geopolitical importance of Libya extends beyond the Middle East. The instability in Libya has direct consequences for U.S. allies in Europe. The country’s geographical location has made it a critical point of migration, with thousands of migrants fleeing the violence and poverty in search of better opportunities in Europe. As these migration routes become increasingly uncontrolled, Europe faces rising tensions, further complicating relations within the European Union and with its neighbors. The potential for this crisis to worsen could provoke a larger regional or even global conflict, drawing the U.S. and its allies into more significant involvement.

Libya's post-Gaddafi power vacuum has turned it into a haven for Islamist extremists. The Islamic State (IS) may have been driven out of Sirte in 2016, but various Islamist factions, including Al-Qaeda affiliates and Muslim Brotherhood elements, continue to wield influence. These groups exploit weak governance, using smuggling networks and corruption to fund their operations. The collapse of central authority has allowed these groups to thrive and recruit, turning Libya into a haven for jihadists.

The implications of this are profound. Terrorist organizations and violent extremist factions in Libya are increasingly using the country as a base for launching attacks across North Africa, the Middle East and even into Europe. They use Libya’s chaotic environment to smuggle weapons, transport fighters and carry out training. Libya has effectively become a hub for jihadists, posing a direct threat to U.S. interests and its allies. If left unchecked, these groups could use the country as a springboard to launch attacks far beyond the region, creating the perfect breeding ground for international terrorism.

The threat of extremism is not confined to the borders of Libya alone. The country’s lawlessness makes it an ideal location for the transfer of arms and other illicit goods, further fueling conflict across the African continent. The destabilization of Libya also encourages the rise of transnational criminal organizations that engage in human trafficking, drug smuggling and arms trading, further contributing to the degradation of security throughout the region. These illicit activities often align with terrorist objectives, forming an interconnected web of instability and violence that reaches far beyond Libya’s borders.

While Libya remains in the headlines for its security threats, the silent devastation of corruption and poverty often goes unnoticed. Transparency International ranked Libya as the 8th most corrupt country in the world in 2024, with billions siphoned off by elites while ordinary Libyans struggle to survive. The country’s immense natural wealth, particularly its oil reserves, has failed to benefit the population due to widespread corruption and mismanagement. Instead of being a resource for national development, Libya’s oil wealth is a tool used by various factions to fuel their power struggles.

Poverty levels are soaring despite Libya’s immense natural resources, pushing more citizens into the arms of extremist groups who promise stability and financial support. A significant portion of the population remains disenfranchised, with unemployment rates climbing and basic services either non-existent or in severe decline. The economic collapse has led to widespread hunger and displacement, as families are forced to flee the violence or face starvation. As poverty deepens, so too does the risk of radicalization, with extremist groups capitalizing on the desperation of Libya’s youth by offering them a sense of purpose and financial security in exchange for allegiance to their cause.

Meanwhile, human smuggling has become one of Libya’s most profitable industries. Militia groups control smuggling routes, profiting from the desperate migrants trying to reach Europe. These militias, which thrive in the absence of a functioning government, also profit from the trafficking of arms, drugs and human lives. This crisis not only fuels violence but also impacts global security, as these same smuggling networks are used for recruiting terrorists and funneling weapons into conflict zones.

To prevent Libya from becoming another failed state beyond repair, the U.S. must step up with a decisive strategy. Washington must push back against Russia’s military expansion in Libya, counter foreign interference and prevent the country from becoming another proxy battleground. This means supporting the United Nations’ efforts to broker peace among the warring factions, while applying diplomatic pressure on Russia and other foreign powers that seek to exploit Libya’s chaos for their own geopolitical gains.

At the same time, intelligence-sharing and counterterrorism operations should be ramped up to eliminate extremist factions before they grow stronger. The U.S. must cooperate with regional partners such as Morocco to help combat the flow of weapons and fighters into and out of Libya. This will require a sustained, long-term commitment to fighting terrorism, ensuring that extremist groups are rooted out before they can further destabilize the region.

Amine AyoubAmine Ayoub

Financial sanctions must target corrupt elites profiting from Libya’s chaos, ensuring that aid reaches the people who need it most. The U.S. should leverage its economic power to sanction those who benefit from the looting of the country’s resources, while encouraging reform efforts that promote transparency and governance. Additionally, the U.S. and its European allies must dismantle human trafficking networks that fund militias and criminals, addressing the migrant crisis before it spirals further out of control.

Libya is at a crossroads. It can either descend further into chaos or rise from the ashes with the right international support. The U.S. must recognize that inaction is not an option—because what happens in Libya won’t stay in Libya. The battle for Libya is a battle for regional stability, global security and the future of American influence in the world. If Washington fails to act, the consequences will be felt far beyond North Africa.

Israel's US ambassador on Egyptian military buildup: 'Not tolerable'

For the first time, an Israeli official has raised concerns about the growing military presence of the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula. Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, in a briefing to Jewish organizations: "There are bases being built, and they can only be used for offensive operations and offensive weapons." Security expert: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of tanks have been deployed". Israel has so far refrained from responding to the violation of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty.

By Ariel Kahana

Israel's ambassador to the US, Dr. Yechiel Leiter, has issued a stark warning about the growing military presence of the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula, in violation of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, marking the first time an Israeli official has spoken out on the matter. In a recent briefing to Jewish organization leaders in the US, Leiter described the situation as "intolerable."

Speaking to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Leiter stated, "This is an issue that will come up. Egypt is in a very serious violation of our peace agreement in the Sinai. This is an issue which is going to come to the fore, because this is not a tolerable situation."

The ambassador further warned, "There are bases being built, and they can only be used for offensive operations and offensive weapons. This is a clear violation. For a long time, this issue has been shoved to the side, but it continues. This is a issue that we are going to put on the table – very soon and very emphatically."

Leiter's remarks were made on January 28, just days after he took office and before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington two weeks ago.

Israel has so far refused to comment on Egypt's overall military buildup, particularly the deployment of large military forces in Sinai, which contradicts the security annex of the peace treaty. Security and diplomatic sources confirmed that over the years, Egypt has repeatedly moved forces into Sinai in violation of the agreement, only to request retroactive approval from Israel, permission that was consistently granted by Netanyahu.

Dr. Yagil Henkin, a military affairs expert who first warned about these troubling developments in 2018, explained, "This happened through a process of creeping annexation. First, they deployed forces, then they sought retroactive Israeli approval, which was always granted. Even after the operational need ended, the forces were never withdrawn."

Henkin added, "Sinai now has far more weaponry and ammunition than the peace agreement allows. It started with two battalions, and today there are tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of tanks. Some are concentrated near Egyptian Rafah, while others are stationed near former ISIS strongholds in Sinai. The operational necessity to fight ISIS has passed, yet the forces remain. Additionally, Egypt has developed infrastructure, including bridges, roads, and large tunnels, enabling them to transfer entire divisions into Sinai within hours from the western side of the Suez Canal."

Members of the US Congress are aware of Egypt's violations and intend to bring the issue to the agenda. In an internal discussion among Republican lawmakers, a provision was raised stating, "Egypt is substantially violating the Camp David Accords through the deployment of forces and movement of tanks into Sinai. This poses a strategic threat to Israel's southern border, and specifically falls under US responsibility as the agreement's guarantor."

The agenda item also calls for a review of US economic assistance to Egypt in light of its military presence in Sinai. "American funding to Egypt must be reevaluated based on these agreements. Egypt must be presented with a timeline for withdrawing its forces from the peninsula," the policy proposal states.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Leftist Members of UK Parliament Push to End Daily Prayer Because It’s ‘Outdated’

By Tré Goins-Phillips

Editor  February 17, 2025

Leftist members of Parliament in the U.K. have introduced a formal push to eliminate the centuries-old tradition of daily prayers from the House of Commons.

Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan put forward the motion, according to The Mirror, arguing prayers in the chambers of government are “not compatible with a society that respects the principles of freedom of and from religion.”

“Having prayers at the beginning of the day feels like an outdated and outmoded practice,” he reportedly said. “In a modern workplace, it doesn’t really make a lot of sense. We now have quite a diverse group of parliamentarians with different religious beliefs, and people like myself, who have no religion at all. They have to wait outside waiting for the prayers to end.”

The tradition of opening sessions with prayer dates back to 1558, but that could be upended soon.

Backed by the National Secular Society, the pending motion was crafted to ensure “no religious beliefs or practices have undue influence on how you live your life” — to include opening prayers.

In part, the motion reads:

That this House recognizes religious worship should not play any part in the formal business of the House of Commons; believes that Parliamentary meetings should be conducted in a manner equally welcoming to all attendees, irrespective of their personal beliefs; further believes that Parliamentary Prayers are not compatible with a society which respects the principle of freedom of and from religion; and urges that prayers should not form part of the official business of Parliament; and calls on the Modernization Committee to consider alternative arrangements

The motion has been signed by three Labour MPs, three Liberal Democrats, two Green MPs, and one politician from the Scottish National Party.

Megan Manson, head of campaigns for the National Secular Society, said, “Members of Parliament are of course free to pray in their own time, but institutionalized prayer doesn’t belong in the legislative process.”

This motion comes months after a Christian man in the U.K. was reportedly convicted for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Bournemouth in November 2022.

“I was taken aback by that,” Adam Smith-Connor told CBN News, referring to when he was pulled aside and questioned for his prayers. “They informed me that they considered my praying for my deceased son was a breach of the PSPO, that it was an act of disapproval of abortion, although I wasn’t manifesting that prayer in any way and, if I hadn’t told them, they would have no way of knowing what I was praying about.”

Texas rocked by major earthquake after experiencing three others in less than 12 hours

READ MORE: Geyser erupts in US state's oilfield recently hit by earthquakes

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 07:49 EST, 18 February 2025 | Updated: 11:39 EST, 18 February 2025

Texas has experienced four earthquakes in less than 12 hours, the largest of which measured 4.6-magnitude Tuesday morning.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) detected the latest tremor in Culberson County around 7am ET.

The first quake, a 2.9-magnitude, hit Monday night at 11pm near Mentone.

It was followed by a 3.4-magnitude at 3am Tuesday and a 2.5-magnitude about 1.5 hours later.

The latest seismic activity was felt as far north as Roswell, New Mexico.

The swarm comes just days after a 5.0-magnitude quake hit about 40 miles north of the latest cluster, causing a natural gas pipeline in the Permian Basin to rupture.,

The epicenter of the February 15 earthquake was located 33 miles west of Toyah and 53 miles south of Carlsbad.

These towns are just miles away from those hit by the recent seismic events. However, officials have not linked the events as of yet.

West Texas is not home to a single major fault line, but contains several faults.

That includes the Permian Basin fault zone and the Balcones Fault Zone, making the region more prone to earthquakes.

However, seismic activity in the region is primarily caused by human activity related to oil and gas production, including fracking and wastewater disposal.

More than 3,600 earthquakes have been reported in Texas since 1900, with more than 70 reaching a magnitude 4 or higher and seven over a magnitude 5.

The 4.6-magnitude had a shallow depth of just four miles, suggesting it was felt widely throughout West Texas, southern New Mexico and northern Mexico.

No significant damages or injuries have been reported at this time.

The USGS shows a 39 percent change of a 3.0-magnitude or above aftershock hitting within the next week and a 12 percent change of another 4.0-magnitude or more.

There is a two percent change of a major 5.0-magnitude quake.

The major 5.0-magnitude quake that hit over the weekend was followed by at least 16 aftershocks, ranging in magnitudes from 1.4 to 3.8, The Watchers reported.

The rupture is the second in eight months, sparking concerns that there is a link between fracking activities and seismic events in West Texas.

Fracking involves miners drilling deep into the earth's surface and releasing high-pressure water that creates a small explosion to release natural gas and oil that can be used to create energy.

Texas is listed as the number one state for fracking, and as of February 2017, it was home to 279,615 oil and gas wells but by 2023, that number had increased to 373,133 active wells.

The action brings groundwater to the surface and when it is injected back into the ground, it puts pressure on fault lines, resulting in more earthquakes.

'The practice of deep injection of oil field wastewater, known as saltwater disposal, has the strongest tie to the increase in the rate of earthquakes and to the strongest earthquakes that have occurred in recent years,' said Peter Hennings, research professor at The University of Texas's Bureau of Economic Geology.

Researchers from Southern Methodist University in Texas found in 2015 that the state's earthquakes were due to fracking.

They looked at 84 days from November 2013 to January 2014, finding 27 magnitude two or greater earthquakes hit around Azle that is home to fracking practises.

Matthew Hornbach, a Southern Methodist University geophysicist, said the timing and location of the quakes correlates better to the drilling and injection than any other possible reason.

'There appears to be little doubt about the conclusion that the earthquakes were in fact induced,' USGS seismologist Susan Hough, who wasn't part of the study team, said.

'There's almost an abundance of smoking guns in this case.'

Massive amounts of brine taken out of the ground with the gas, said study co-author William Ellsworth of the USGS. Removing the saltwater changes the underground pressure.

But the deep injection of the wastes still is the principle culprit, Ellsworth said.

Azle sits atop the large underground Barrett Shale natural gas formation.

JUST IN: First Signals Out of Riyadh—U.S.-Russia Peace Plan Includes a Move That Will Infuriate Zelensky!

February 18, 2025

Bruce Hoenshell

In a significant development that could reshape the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, alongside National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Aide to the President Yuri Ushakov, and notable Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev at Diriyah Palace in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The gathering marks a pivotal moment in U.S.-Russia relations under the Trump administration, focusing on crafting a peace plan for Ukraine that includes a contentious proposal: the holding of new elections in Ukraine.

Secretary Rubio highlighted the unique position of President Trump in these negotiations, stating, “No one else has been able to bring something together like what we saw today because Trump is the only leader in the world that can… The only thing President Trump is trying to do is bring about peace.” This statement underscores the administration’s belief in Trump’s capability to mediate between conflicting parties, leveraging his reputation as a dealmaker.

The bombshell proposal, as reported by Fox News, involves pushing for new elections in Ukraine, a move that is almost certain to provoke a strong reaction from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky has been resistant to the idea of holding elections during the ongoing conflict, citing martial law and the impracticalities of organizing a fair vote amidst a war.

This peace plan, which includes new elections, is seen by some as a masterstroke to end the conflict by addressing the legitimacy of Ukraine’s leadership. Critics of Zelensky argue that this move could dismantle what they perceive as a “puppet regime” or a “fake democracy,” especially one that has been heavily supported by Western financial aid and media. The proposal is framed as an opportunity to test Zelensky’s popularity without the influence of external support, potentially exposing whether his leadership would hold up under the scrutiny of an election without the backing of U.S. taxpayer money.

This has been met with significant resistance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy has consistently maintained that holding elections during the ongoing conflict is unfeasible, citing substantial legal and logistical challenges. He emphasized, “During the war, there can be no elections. The legislation has to be changed, the Constitution as well. There are big challenges, not just legal but also human challenges.”

USAID funded Boko Haram slaughter of Christians in Nigeria

Last week we reported how USAID, a federal agency operating under the auspices of the U.S. State Department, funded Islamic terrorism that killed more than 3,000 U.S. soldiers.

We have an update now that suggests Washington’s funding of Islamic terror groups was much more widespread than originally thought.

And the targets included more than just U.S. soldiers.

Adamu Garba, a chieftain and politician of Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress, has affirmed the allegations that the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, was funding Boko Haram, ISIS and other Islamic terrorists organizations known for murdering Christians.

Boko Haram is known for infiltrating the Muslim nomadic Fulani herdsman, , burning down the Christians’ homes, killing their men, and often kidnapping and who have conducted a reign of terror against Christians for years in Northeastern Nigeria raping their daughters.

A 2018 report by Voice of the Martyrs states:

“In June, the New York Times reported that more than 300,000 people have been displaced as a result for the Fulani militant attacks. Over 500 people have been killed by the militants in 2018 alone. The Fulani often attack in the middle of the night with no warning. The militants tend to surround villages, trap the locals inside their houses, and burn the homes. Their victims have no time to prepare or run.”

Now we have a Nigerian political figure, Adam Garba, coming out and saying that most of the money for these Islamic militants originates from USAID.

Garba says funds from USAID were used to purchase weapons for Boko Haram, the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), and other terrorist groups.

In a video he posted on his X page under the title “TERRORISM AS A FOREIGN POLICY TOOL: Terrorism and USAID Funding,” Garba questioned how USAID spent $824 million last year in Nigeria and yet nobody among the announced recipients saw any benefits of that funding.

https://twitter.com/radiodaljir/status/1890945355858018720 

Apparently, Garba was triggered to come forth with his statements after hearing about Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Scott Perry’s comments last Wednesday that USAID was funding foreign terrorist groups.

During a February 12 DOGE subcommittee hearing titled: “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” Congressman Perry alleged that $697 million in foreign aid was being steered through USAID to Boko Haram, ISIS, and al-Qaeda.

For example, Perry said there is no record of USAID using $136 million to build 120 schools in Pakistan, as Congress intended the money to be used.

Garba said: “I mentioned this before that Boko Haram, ISWAP, and most of these terrorists, the weapons they get are actually funded by some clandestine foreign operators, they are the ones supplying them weapons.”

He added that:

“The exposé about USAID has confirmed that Boko Haram and all these terrorists are getting their weapons through the funding from USAID. Just last year, USAID spent $824 million in Nigeria, where did the money go to?”

The Nigerian government said the money was spent on child care mortality and education, but little if any of it apparently went for those priorities.

Garba stated:

“When did the money come in, where did it go to? These monies go to the funding of Boko Haram and kidnappers that are used to kill and destroy our land, that is the operation. A US Congressman has confirmed this statement, the Congressman made a speech by saying that Boko Haram, bandits, and terrorists operating in the Sahel are mostly funded by USAID.”

Because of President Trump, Garba said terrorism could be defeated in Nigeria and if this happens Africa could be in a position to thrive. He said Trump is exposing the entire global corruption network, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Garba explained:

“More is going to be released among the African elites, most of them in collaboration with criminals to destroy our land, are soon going to be exposed and we will reclaim our country and continent for the betterment of our people and future.”

He cited Daljir Media in Somalia as stating:

“With Donald Trump at the helm of the US government, is the terrorism era in Africa about to come to an abrupt end? Or will the British intelligence continue to dominate the US intelligence and foreign policy to the detriment of the US.”

That’s a legitimate question. Has the United States ever fully decoupled itself, at the highest elite levels of banking/finance and with the Five Eyes intelligence operations, from the British Crown? Or, are they still joined as one in an Anglo-American death cult that seeks to export the culture rot of abortion, LGBTQ trans filth, perpetual war and other depopulation schemes? All while at the same time funding Islamic terror to kill Christians and any others who refuse to go along with their planned one-world beast system.

60-Minutes Pitched A Doubleheader Of Knowingly Faked-Up Feature Pieces Intended To Scramble American Minds To Benefit The Party Of Chaos And Its Manager, The US Intel Blob

By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline February 17, 2025

“'Save democracy' is code phrase for a club of delusional people who belong to a delusional group that does delusional things to justify their delusions.” — Wendy Williamson

You’ve got to wonder who at CBS-News thinks it’s a good idea to quadruple down on mendacious grandstanding when the network faces a $20-billion lawsuit from Donald Trump — for assisting Kamala Harris’s campaign (aka election interference) — while the FCC under new Commissioner Brendan Carr questions the network’s license to operate on the grounds of “news distortion” and violation of the broadcast news fairness doctrine.

So, on Sunday night February 16, CBS’s flagship news show, 60-Minutes, pitched a doubleheader of knowingly faked-up feature pieces intended to scramble American minds to benefit the Party of Chaos and its manager, the US Intel Blob. The first piece was a sob-story on how sad and unjust DOGE’s deconstruction of the USAID money-laundering operation is. Yeah, boo-hoo. They interviewed several part-timers and consultants pretending to be long-term employees of the outfit. Complete horse-shit, and they knew it. What really matters is that a whole lot of bureaucrat grifters (and politicians) won’t get paid anymore. . . and the Blob won’t be able to soften-up faraway nations for plunder with its color revolutions and other hijinks.

The second piece was a ringing endorsement of Germany’s current censorship campaign, arresting ordinary citizens for mean tweets. Their camera crew followed the German Gedankenpolizei entering apartments and seizing cell phones. The viewing audience was asked to shed tears for German Green Party politician, Renate Künast, who got dissed on “X” (“misogynist comments” and insults) — the same week that an Islamic immigrant maniac drove a car into a Munich crowd on-purpose, injuring 39 people, including two dead (one, a child). No mention of that incident on 60-Minutes, or, more generally, that illegal immigration is the big taboo subject behind all the censorship.

CBS actually preceded that gaslighting job with a bit of Sunday morning constructed Orwellian fake syllogistic idiocy by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, who said that free speech caused the Holocaust against the Jews. Her reasoning: free speech allowed the Nazis to gain power, therefore. . . Auschwitz . . . therefore, free speech is bad. Guest, Sec’y of State Marco Rubio, told her that he could not associate himself with her thesis. In fact, once in power, the Nazis totally controlled speech and news and did not permit other political parties to even exist. All of this, you understand, is just deliberate Gramscian distortion-and-perversion of language — black is white, up is down — to defeat any attempt at coherent public debate today.

The conclusion you might draw from all this is that CBS is terrified of free speech, and is trying desperately to hide the Blob’s long-running criminal racketeering activity — which they have aided and abetted for years and deserve to lose their license over, plus pay billions in penalties, and go out of business — a rather existential predicament.

Reality distortion is no longer working so well with Mr. Trump in the White House. Here is what’s behind the USAID brouhaha and why it matters. By 2016, the Blob had become a fullblown, independent, parasitical organism on US governance. It had several purposes: 1) to keep itself in perpetual power by paying off its voting blocs of “the poor and marginalized,” 2) to pay its corps of bureaucrat managers (of the “poor and marginalized”) handsome salaries to win their everlasting allegiance, and 3) to pay-off elected officials to keep voting the money flows for all that. All this created a massive class of Democratic Party activists dedicated to overthrowing the republic so as to usher-in their social equity nirvana. And all that was sheer hubris. More recently, nemesis arrived on the scene and all this institutional Blob power had to be diverted to a massive ass-covering operation, now in full, florid failure. And, worst of all for the Blobists, evidence of actual crime is accruing at a frightful, fast pace.

With the confirmation of Kash Patel later this week, Mr. Trump’s agency team will be complete. What follows will be a Krakatoa of revelation, drastically altering the climate of US politics for years to come. You should learn exactly how many FBI and CIA agents were moiling and roiling in the J-6 mob. You’ll find out what the J-6 DNC pipe bomb caper was all about. You’ll find out why RussiaGate was never properly investigated or adjudicated. . . how the Adam Schiff / Alexander Vindman / Eric Ciaramella impeachment op worked. . . how the Clinton Foundation made a zillion dollars . . . where all the money went that got poured into Ukraine. . . and much much more.

You will also soon start getting some actually reliable information out of CDC, FDA, NIH, and other public health agencies. Do you suppose that Tony Fauci is the only person who must answer for Covid-19? I expect many of the following persons who were high-ranking officials — nearly all of them completely obscure to the public — to be asked under oath what they thought they were doing:

Robert R. Redfield, M.D. — Director of the CDC

H. Clifford Lane, M.D. — Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects, Clinical Director, NIAID

Sarah W. Read, M.D., M.H.S. — NIAID Principal Deputy Director

Jill R. Harper, Ph.D. — NIAID Deputy Director, Science Management

Carl W. Dieffenbach, Ph.D. — NIH Director, Division of AIDS

Daniel Rotrosen, M.D. — NIAID Director, Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation

Emily Erbelding, M.D., M.P.H. — NIAID Director, Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

Anne Schuchat, M.D. — Principal Deputy Director, CDC

Sherri A. Berger, Ph.D. — Chief Operating Officer, CDC

Debra Houry, M.D., M.P.H. — Acting Director, CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control

Nancy Messonnier, M.D. — Director, CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. — Director, NIH

John Jernigan, M.D., M.S. — Director, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion

Ruth A. Etzel, M.D., Ph.D. —Director, National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)

Dana Meaney-Delman, M.D. — FDA Acting Director, Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response

Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D. — Principal Deputy Director, NIH

Joshua A. Gordon, M.D., Ph.D. — Director, National Institute of Mental Health

Walter J. Koroshetz, M.D. — Director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

Gary H. Gibbons, M.D. — Director, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

Richard J. Hodes, M.D. — Director, National Institute on Aging

Shannon N. Zenk, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.N. — Director, National Institute of Nursing Research

I’m sure many more names can be added to the list. They must have known, and found out early on, that Covid-19 was created with US Government grants (possibly through DARPA), that the mRNA vaccines were ineffective and harmful, that the lockdowns were shuck and jive, and that public health officials were paid a lot of money in royalties while all this was going on. If they haven’t shredded or deleted the info — and it’s still possible that Tulsi Gabbard can find it, anyway — the gaslight will finally get turned off and the sunlight will shine in. You know this is going to happen.

At least 10 die in killer storms including mom and 7 -year-old as maps show where polar vortex will move with temperatures set to plunge to -42.7C

By NATASHA ANDERSON

Published: 04:55 EST, 17 February 2025 | Updated: 14:11 EST, 17 February 2025

A dangerous Arctic blast that has brought wicked winter storms and dangerously low temperatures to much of the US has killed at least 10 people, including a mother and a seven-year-old who were trapped in their car.

A polar vortex is expected to grip the Rockies and the northern Plains today as harsh weather moves west, bringing what the National Weather Service has warned is 'life-threatening cold' to the region.

Temperatures are predicted to dip as low as -42.7C (-45F) with wind chills down to 51 below Celsius (-60F) in northeastern Montana into Tuesday. Chicago alone could face temperatures between -28 and -34C (-20 to -30F) this week as a blizzard strikes the Windy City, according to USA Today.

Dangerously cold wind chill temperatures as low as 45.6 degrees below zero (-50F) are expected in most of North Dakota, which remains under an 'extreme cold warning' along with large swaths of South Dakota and Minnesota. Meteorologist Ryan Maue warned on X that 'your face will fall off at these temperatures.'

Forecasters said several states would experience the 10th and coldest polar vortex event this season as weather forces in the Arctic are combining to push the chilly air that usually stays near the North Pole into the US and Europe.

Winter storms pummeled the eastern US over the weekend, killing at least 10 people, including nine victims in Kentucky who died during flooding from heavy rains.

Most of the deaths, including a mother and her seven-year-old child, were caused by cars getting stuck in high water.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear that at least 1,000 people stranded by floods had to be rescued. President Donald Trump has approved the state's request for a disaster declaration, authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate relief efforts.

Water submerged cars and buildings in Kentucky and mudslides blocked roads in Virginia over the weekend. Flood warnings extended throughout Tennessee and Arkansas.

'I am sad to share some more tough news tonight, Kentucky. We just confirmed another weather-related death out of Pike County, bringing our total loss to 9 people,' Beshear said Sunday night.

'So folks, stay off the roads right now and stay alive.'

The mother and child were swept away Saturday night in Kentucky's Bonnieville community, Hart County Coroner Tony Roberts said.

In southeastern Kentucky, a 73-year-old man was found dead in floodwaters in Clay County, county Emergency Management Deputy Director Revelle Berry said. There were a total of four deaths in Hart County, Beshear said.

The Kentucky River Medical Center in the city of Jackson said it had closed its emergency department and transferred all patients to two other hospitals in the region due to a nearby river flooding.

Parts of Kentucky and Tennessee received up to 15 centimeters (6 inches) of rain, said Bob Oravec, a senior forecaster with the National Weather Service.

'The effects will continue for awhile, a lot of swollen streams and a lot of flooding going on,' Oravec added.

In Alabama, the weather service in Birmingham said it had confirmed an EF-1 tornado touched down in Hale County.

Storms there and elsewhere in the state destroyed or damaged a handful of mobile homes, downed trees and toppled power lines, but no injuries were immediately reported.

A state of emergency was declared for parts of Obion County, Tennessee, after a levee failed on Saturday, flooding the small community of Rives, home to around 300 people in the western part of the state.

'There will be mandatory evacuations in effect for the residents in Rives due to the rising water, no electricity, and freezing temperatures creating a life-threatening situation,' Mayor Steve Carr said in a statement Sunday.

In Atlanta, a person was killed when a large tree fell on a home early Sunday, according to Atlanta Fire Rescue Capt. Scott Powell.

High winds brought down trees and power poles across Albermarle County, Virginia.

The Charlottesville Police Department said Sunday on social media that officers' response times could be delayed due to 'an overwhelming number of weather-related calls for service.' Police urged residents to stay off the roads.

Power outages were reported along much of the eastern seaboard, from New York south to Georgia.

In West Virginia, 13 southern counties were under a state of emergency for flooding and some areas were cut off to vehicle traffic Sunday.

Several volunteer fire departments dealt with flooding in their own buildings while answering rescue and evacuation calls.

Ice and snow made road travel treacherous in large swaths of Michigan, which remained under a winter weather advisory until Monday afternoon.

Michigan State Police reported 114 crashes Sunday around the Detroit area since snow started falling Saturday.

'Fortunately, most were one-car spin outs and there were no serious injuries,' Michigan State Police said on X.

Authorities in Colorado reported eight people were killed in fatal vehicle crashes since Valentine's Day and warned drivers to be cautious as the weather made driving more difficult. The causes of the fatal crashes weren't immediately known.

Also in Colorado, three state patrol cruisers that had pulled over along roadsides were struck by other vehicles, including one on Sunday where a trooper had stopped as officials prepared to close a road because of ice.

In each case the troopers were out of their cruisers at the time and were uninjured.

Avalanche warnings were issued for numerous areas of the Rocky Mountains stretching from Colorado to Washington state, with the danger rated highest in Utah.

Saudi Arabia spearheads Arab scramble for alternative to Trump's Gaza plan

Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies were aghast at Trump's plan to "clean out" Palestinians from Gaza and resettle most of them in Jordan and Egypt

By REUTERS  FEBRUARY 14, 2025 17:49

Riviera cleared of its Palestinian inhabitants, 10 sources said.

Draft ideas will be discussed at a meeting in Riyadh this month of countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. Proposals may involve a Gulf-led reconstruction fund and a deal to sideline Hamas, five of the people said.

Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies were aghast at Trump's plan to "clean out" Palestinians from Gaza and resettle most of them in Jordan and Egypt, an idea immediately rejected by Cairo and Amman and seen in most of the region as deeply destabilizing.

The dismay in Saudi Arabia was aggravated, sources said, because the plan would nix the kingdom's demand for a clear path to Palestinian statehood as a condition to normalize ties with Israel - something that would also pave the way for an ambitious military pact between Riyadh and Washington, shoring up the kingdom's defenses against Iran.

Reuters spoke to 15 sources in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and elsewhere to build a picture of the hurried efforts by Arab states to pull together existing proposals into a new plan they can sell to the US president - even potentially calling it a "Trump plan" to win his approval.

All the sources declined to be identified because the issue involves international or domestic sensitivities and they were not authorized to speak in public.

One Arab government source said at least four proposals had already been drafted for Gaza's future, but an Egyptian proposal was now emerging as central to the Arab push for an alternative to Trump's idea.

The Egyptian proposal

The latest Egyptian proposal involves forming a national Palestinian committee to govern Gaza without Hamas involvement, international participation in reconstruction without displacing Palestinians abroad, and movement towards a two-state solution, three Egyptian security sources said.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Palestinian representatives will review and discuss the plan in Riyadh before it is presented at a scheduled Arab summit on February 27, the Arab government source said.

The role of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, widely known as MbS, is shaping up to be key.

"We are telling the Americans we have a plan that works. Our meeting with MbS is going to be critical. He is taking the lead," said a Jordanian official.

The crown prince had a warm relationship with the first Trump administration and is increasingly central to Arab ties with the United States during the new Trump era.

Long a major regional partner for the United States, the crown prince is expanding Saudi Arabia's relationship through business and global power politics.

Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund is holding a conference in Miami this month that Reuters revealed Trump is expected to attend. Riyadh is also expected to host his coming talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to try to end the Ukraine war.

The White House did not respond to several requests for comment on this story.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking on Thursday, referred to the coming Arab meeting, saying: "Right now the only plan - they don't like it - but the only plan is the Trump plan. So if they've got a better plan, now's the time to present it."

Spokespeople for Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE and Israel did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Buffer zone

Clear plans for Gaza's post-war future have already proven hard to develop as they require positions on contentious debates regarding the territory's internal governance, security management, funding and reconstruction.

Israel has already rejected any role for Hamas or the Palestinian Authority in governing Gaza, or ensuring security there. Arab countries and the United States have also said they do not want to put troops on the ground to do that.

Gulf states, which have historically paid for reconstruction in Gaza, have said they do not want to do so this time without guarantees that Israel will not again destroy what they build.

Jordan's King Abdullah emphasized to Trump on Monday at their meeting in the White House that he was working with Saudi Arabia and Egypt on a Gaza plan that would work, a Jordanian official said.

Abdullah said in televised comments after the meeting that the countries would review an Egyptian plan and "we will be in Saudi Arabia to discuss how we can work with the president and the United States."

Reuters could not immediately reach Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi for comment. After Abdullah's meeting with Trump, Safadi said: "We are now working on crystallizing the Arab plan."

Initial proposals shared by the three Egyptian security sources relating to reconstruction and financing appear advanced.

A buffer zone and physical barrier would be erected to stop tunnels being built across Gaza's border with Egypt. As soon as rubble is removed, 20 areas would be established as temporary living zones. Around 50 Egyptian and other foreign companies would be brought in to carry out the work.

Financing would involve international and Gulf money, said a regional source with knowledge of the matter. A potential fund could be named the Trump Fund for Reconstruction, the Arab government official said.

However, the most difficult issues around Gaza's governance and internal security remain to be decided, the official said.

Forcing Hamas out of any role in Gaza would be critical, said the Arab official and the three Egyptian sources.

Hamas has previously said it is willing to cede government in Gaza to a national committee, but it would want a role in choosing its members and would not accept the deployment of any ground forces without its consent.

The three Egyptian sources said that while nothing in the plan was very new, they believed it was good enough to change Trump's mind and that it could be imposed on Hamas and the Palestinian Authority under Mahmoud Abbas.

'Not pleased'

Saudi annoyance over Gaza had already been building before Trump's announcement.

The kingdom had repeatedly said normalization with Israel was conditional on a path to creating a Palestinian state in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

That stance hardened as Saudi public anger grew at the destruction and death in Gaza. In November, the crown prince publicly accused Israel of genocide during an Islamic summit and doubled down on the need for a two-state solution.

Frustration was running high in the kingdom over the ongoing war, two regional intelligence sources said.

Washington appeared ready to push past Riyadh's demand for two states. The day before his Gaza announcement, Trump was asked whether a normalization deal could go ahead without a two-state solution. He said: "Saudi Arabia is going to be very helpful."

Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff had held meetings in Riyadh in late January. Two senior diplomats said Witkoff laid out a three-month timeline for the normalization process.

But Saudi frustration quickly turned into surprise and then anger when Trump announced his Gaza idea. "He is not pleased," a source close to the Saudi royal court said of Prince Mohammed's reaction.

The level of anger was quickly evident in state media broadcasts - which analysts say are often a measure of official Saudi viewpoints - with television news reports personally excoriating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"They are outraged," said Aziz Alghashian, a Saudi analyst familiar with official thinking, describing the mood among senior Saudi officials. "This is outrageous. More than frustration, this is on another level."

Many experts say Trump may be using an old bargaining ploy from his diplomatic playbook, setting out an extreme position as an opening gambit for negotiations. During his first term, he often issued what were widely seen as over-the-top foreign policy pronouncements, many of which never came to fruition.

Still, it has complicated the normalization talks.

Former Saudi intelligence head Prince Turki al-Faisal, who holds no current role in the government, said in a CNN interview last week that if Trump visited Riyadh, "I'm sure he will get an earful from the leadership here."

Asked if he could see any prospect of normalization talks advancing with Israel, he said: "Not at all."

Germany and NATO Defy President Trump; Refuse to Accredit Russia to Attend Munich Conference

Hal Turner World February 14, 2025 Hits: 14046

NATO, the European Union, and Germany in particular, have openly DEFIED President Donald Trump by refusing to accredit a Russian delegation to attend today's Munich Security Conference. Vice President JD Vance arrived in Munich this morning.

Earlier this week, during a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, the two leaders agreed that there would be contact between the two countries today, at the Munich Conference.

When the Russians sought clearance to send their delegation into Germany, they were told Russia "is not accredited to attend the conference." As such, the Russians cannot be there to meet with the US Vice President.

Clearly, someone in Europe is intentionally sabotaging the peace effort by President Trump. As such, there is now intense activity in the US with a significant contingent inside the White House urging the President to begin recalling US troops from Europe so the Europeans can get a dose of reality as to who they're playing with.

When there are no US troops left in Europe, perhaps the Europeans will understand they are not to sabotage what the US does.

Could Europe withstand a Russian attack WITHOUT US support? How continent's NATO armies match up against Putin's might - amid fears Trump will quit the alliance

By DAVID AVERRE

Published: 06:10 EST, 14 February 2025 | Updated: 09:08 EST, 14 February 2025

Concern that US President Donald Trump could withdraw from NATO has sparked fears over whether Europe's armed forces could withstand an attack from Russia without American support.

Trump has not yet spoken on the possibility of a US withdrawal from the Western-led security bloc, but former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told LBC yesterday that such a scenario is 'highly probable'.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration expects European members to shoulder the responsibility for the long-term security of Ukraine as the White House focuses on a showdown with China.

Currently, 23 of 32 NATO countries are meeting the agreed-upon target of spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence.

But Trump has suggested this figure should be raised to 5% while his Vice President JD Vance this week reiterated expectations for European NATO members to manage their own security without an American safety blanket.

Bolton said setting such high defence spending targets was an example of Trump 'setting preconditions that will justify' a withdrawal from NATO.

'In a year when it doesn't happen, Trump will be able to say, NATO is just as worthless as I always said it was. I'm getting out,' Bolton said, before adding 'You'll miss us when we're gone!'

It comes as Trump and Putin shared a lengthy phone call to discuss the resolution of the war in Ukraine. A ceasefire agreement is likely to leave parts of Ukraine under Russian control, with Western peacekeepers tasked with patrolling the contact line.

For Kyiv this would be a bitter pill, albeit one that would at least temporarily stem the bloodshed; for Moscow, a costly short-term win.

But for Europe, it raises a haunting question: What if their peacekeepers become targets and the alliance is drawn directly into a war - without the support of the world's most formidable military force as an ally?

The alliance's 32 countries have a combined military budget of well over $1 trillion, over three million active personnel, around three million reserve personnel and more than 700,000 troops in paramilitary forces.

Besides manpower, NATO countries also have over 14,000 tanks in their arsenals and tens of thousands more combat vehicles, 21,000 military aircraft and almost 2,000 naval vessels.

But wars are not fought on paper, and when the US and Canada are removed from the equation, the idea of a large-scale conflict between Russia and Europe without American support is enough to have even the most seasoned strategists waking up in a cold sweat.

European NATO states still lead Russia in almost all categories, aside from the number of armoured land vehicles - and, of course, nuclear weapons.

But NATO's forces have never faced the kind of aggression displayed in Ukraine, and despite extensive military drills are not truly battle-tested.

Conversely, Russia has demonstrated not only a willingness to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers in meatgrinder tactics, but also impressive capacity to draw upon reserves and shuttle them to the frontlines in short order.

Ukraine instituted conscription almost immediately after the Russian invasion in February 2022, with recent reports of Ukrainian press gangs violently hunting down military-age men.

But Russia has no need to resort to conscription, leaning on its extensive veteran community and swell of volunteers to fight in Ukraine.

More than a million people reach military age in Russia every year, and all men aged 18-30 are liable to perform one year of national service.

This means that Russia would have huge numbers of military-trained and able-bodied fighters in reserve, should it ever come to blows with NATO on the battlefield.

NATO maintains multinational battlegroups in eight nations close to Russia - namely Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland - but these troops form the backbone of the alliance's so-called 'deterrence and defence posture'.

But they are meant primarily as a first line of defence to protect against the potential of a Russian invasion beyond Ukraine, rather than as a pro-active force ready to deploy to the front line.

And though it has already been established that NATO's overall troop numbers far exceed that of Russia, it is highly unlikely that all members of the alliance would be willing to send any great quantity of soldiers into battle unless a NATO country itself is attacked directly by Moscow.

Therefore, the playing field between Russia and NATO's European members suddenly looks a lot more balanced, meaning a conventional conflict could devolve into a long, grinding war of attrition.

Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO's logistics command, said last year the security bloc is working to ensure it has the operational capability to extract large numbers of wounded troops from the front lines in the case of such a conflict.

The German general warned that, unlike allies' experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, an all-out war with Russia would likely see NATO incur heavy losses across a huge battlefield.

What's more, Russia's air force and its vaunted rocket and missile stockpiles mean that medical evacuations via aircraft would be too risky - a factor that could force NATO's troops to operate 'hospital trains' to extract the wounded en masse.

'The challenge will be to swiftly ensure high-quality care for, in the worst case, a great number of wounded,' he said.

Many European nations are therefore working to scale up their military industries as politicians sound the alarm over their respective nations' state of readiness for war.

Germany and Poland are expected to be among the countries leading Europe's efforts to beef up continental security and are tasked by NATO with providing the bulk of ground forces that would act as first responders to any Russian attack on the alliance's eastern flank.

Poland is already far ahead of its European counterparts in terms of defence spending, and Polish President Andrzej Duda announced on Wednesday that his country plans to further increase expenditure up to 4.7% of GDP on defence this year.

Last year, German media revealed the nation will transform into a NATO staging ground if the conflict to the East should escalate.

According to a leaked 1,000-page document entitled 'Operationsplan Deutschland', Germany would reportedly host hundreds of thousands of troops from NATO countries and serve as a logistics hub for sending huge quantities of military equipment, food and medicine toward the front.

A report by Der Spiegel in the summer said as many as 800,000 soldiers from the security bloc could be hosted by Germany as they transit to posts further East.

The German army is also instructing companies and civilians on how to protect key infrastructure and mobilise for national defence, envisaging a situation in which Russia expands drone flights, spying operations and sabotage attacks across Europe.

Berlin has been among Ukraine's largest benefactors, sending large quantities of military and humanitarian aid to bolster President Volodymyr Zelensky's armed forces.

But military officials, lawmakers and defence experts said this week that the German army's battle-readiness is actually less today than when Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago.

Even if a new government boosts defence spending, it will remain hamstrung for years, particularly by a lack of air defence, artillery and soldiers, they said.

'Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we had eight brigades at around 65% readiness,' Colonel Andre Wuestner, head of the German Armed Forces Association, told Reuters this week.

Sending weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine, as well as accelerating Germany's own drills, took a toll on the available equipment, he said.

'Together, this means the German land forces are down to a readiness of around 50%,' he said.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised after Russia's invasion to overhaul Germany's decrepit military, but three years later a pledge to provide the NATO alliance with two divisions – typically around 40,000 troops – by 2025 and 2027 faces major setbacks.

The details revealed by the sources, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity as they discussed classified military information, underscore Berlin's precarious position as Europe faces a new geopolitical era under a Trump presidency.

Berlin has failed to fully equip troops for a division for NATO by the start of this year, and in any case has no air defences to support them, the sources said.

Its pledge for a NATO division by 2027 is 'long out of our reach,' said a military source.

That second division is only about 20% equipped, according to opposition lawmaker Ingo Gaedechens, a defence expert on parliament's budget committee.

'Even if we were to order everything now, we would not get it equipped in time,' said Gaedechens. Polls suggest his Christian Democrats (CDU) party, headed by candidate chancellor Friedrich Merz, will lead a new government after Germany's February 23 election.

The German NATO division that was meant to be ready this year is not fully operational as - after donations to Ukraine - it lacks 155mm howitzers, its main weapons system, and had to cannibalize some artillery pieces for spare parts, a military and a parliamentary source told Reuters.

Around 80 advanced RCH 155 howitzers needed for the 2027 second division have not yet been ordered.

Both the divisions also need around 200 short-range air defences, such as Gepard anti-aircraft tanks, to protect them from drones and aircraft, according to two military sources and a parliamentary one.

To save money, Germany decommissioned the Gepard in 2012 and is only slowly starting to replace it, with deliveries of an initial order of 19 Rheinmetall Skyrangers expected in 2027 and 2028.

'We won't have the air defences for the division 2025 up and running before 2029,' the military source warned.

Since conscription was suspended in 2011, the German army also needs more reservists. Scholz's government introduced a law in November obliging young men to fill in a questionnaire on their readiness to fight, and Berlin's goal is to eventually reach 200,000 more reservists.

This would enable Germany to swiftly expand its troops to around 460,000 in the event of war - nearly double what it could muster today.

'Given the casualty rates we are calculating with, the Bundeswehr will be bled out within months,' said CDU lawmaker Roderich Kiesewetter, who was a colonel in the German forces before turning to politics. He declined to disclose what those rates are.

Though not part of continental Europe, Britain must also face up to stark realities when it comes to the readiness of its armed forces.

Defence Secretary John Healey delivered a damning assessment of the armed forces in October, declaring they were simply 'not ready to fight'.

Healey said that the problems facing the Army, Navy and Air Force were 'far worse with far deeper problems than we thought' before Labour took power in the summer.

The Armed Forces, specially the British Army and Royal Navy, have been hammered by manpower crises in recent years that have led to questions over how effective they are as fighting forces.

The army is expected to have fewer than 70,000 trained soldiers in 2025, while naval vessels have been tied up alongside due to a lack of sailors to man them.

Speaking to Politico's Power Play podcast after signing a defence agreement with Germany, Healey said: 'The UK, in keeping with many other nations, has essentially become very skilled and ready to conduct military operations.

'What we've not been ready to do is to fight. Unless we are ready to fight we are not in shape to deter.'

It echoes a report by an influential committee of MPs who warned last year that Britain's overstretched Armed Forces may be unable to fight an all-out war after chronic shortages of troops and equipment were covered up in a 'veil of secrecy' under the Conservatives.

NATO's Secretary General is already pushing European members, including Britain, to up spending in line with US desires.

Responding to demands by Donald Trump for Europe to pay for its own security, Mark Rutte said members committing about 2% of GDP should go to 'north of 3%'.

A hike in Armed Forces investment such as this would cost the UK Treasury an additional tens of billions of pounds over this parliament.

Britain is also expected to be asked to provide 10,000 to 15,000 troops for any post-conflict Ukrainian stabilisation force, which would cost an estimated £3billion to £4billion per year.

Britain currently spends 2.3 per cent on defence, with Labour facing calls for this to increase.

In the Commons yesterday, Conservative MP Sir Bernard Jenkin said the UK 'must be ready to fight a war with Russia, if necessary'.

A Strategic Defence Review (SDR) ordered by the Government in July last year is also expected to be revisited.

Former military intelligence officer Philip Ingram said: 'If the SDR doesn't come up with 3 per cent as the initial answer and 5 per cent as the target, we will suffer the wrath of Trump.

'There must be a huge growth in conventional land and air capacity. We are in a very dangerous time – if China decides to take Taiwan by force, Putin will see that as an opportunity and it will lead to global conflict.'

California atmospheric river’s relentless rains turn burn scars into roaring torrents of mud

Previous atmospheric river events have flooded Northern California, but according to the FOX Forecast Center, this storm is set to be the strongest for Southern California so far this season.

By Emilee Speck , Julian Atienza Source FOX Weather

LOS ANGELES – Torrential rains from a potent atmospheric river soaked nearly the entire state of California Thursday, triggering flash flooding up and down the state and transforming burn scars left from historic wildfires in Southern California into streams of mud.

Video taken from around the burn scar left from the deadly Palisades fire showed roadways becoming mud streams as rainfall rates were estimated to have reached at least an inch per hour. Residents near burn scars in multiple counties had been told to either evacuate or be ready to at a moment's notice as the storm arrived.

"There is mud and debris everywhere," said Gigi Graciette with FOX 11 Los Angeles as she stood along the city's Sunset Boulevard. "You can see tree branches and excess of metals that we believe what was left of someone’s burned home. This is up and down Sunset Boulevard."

The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) closed a portion of the Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu ahead of the storm, and mudslides and debris flow later poured across the highway. "Even workers (along PCH) had to scramble to get out of the way there was so much mud and so much debris," Graciette said.

A Los Angeles Fire Department vehicle with a man inside was swept off the PCH and into the ocean by a debris flow in Malibu.

"Fortunately, the member was able to exit his vehicle and reach safety with minor injuries," a LAFD public information officer said about the incident. "He was transported to a local hospital as a precaution."

For residents already dealing with the aftermath of the fires, the mudflows were just adding to the woes.

"Seeing these compounding effects of the rain, plus the soot. When you combine that together, it’s not a great combination. It makes it just that much worse," Palisades resident Michael Fanous told FOX 11. "People haven’t been able to go assess their homes… and more damage is sort of affecting their homes as it stands right now."

Other water rescues are reported to have taken place throughout Southern California, but there were no reports of significant injuries from the wet weather event.

"After the fire occurs and there's so much damage and mobile, loose debris, it doesn't take a whole lot of rain to trigger the downward motion down steep terrain of all that debris," said Ariel Cohen with the National Weather Service office in Los Angeles. "It can potentially become a surging, raging torrent of debris in a matter of minutes."

WIDE SWATH OF US BRACES FOR WEEKEND TRIPLE THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS, FLOODS AND SNOW

The atmospheric river even brought severe thunderstorms to the Los Angeles area with torrential rains, lightning and wind gusts in excess of 60 mph.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, it has been nearly a year since the region had been under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, as storms generally worked from northwest to southeast across the region.

Several mobile homes were reported to be damaged northwest of Los Angeles in Ventura County during the severe weather.

NWS meteorologists will likely survey the damage to determine if a weak tornado was the cause of the wind problems.

Storm triggers urban flooding rescues in Northern California

North of San Francisco, rockslides closed parts of US Highway 101 in Marin County late Thursday evening.

Cars were abandoned on the streets in Fresno on Thursday night after significant urban flooding.

San Jose firefighters had to perform a water rescue to reach two people and six dogs who were stranded Thursday night on an island on the Guadalupe River.

The Santa Cruz Sheriff's Office issued an order for some areas east of Watsonville, California, to evacuate immediately due to a threat from runoff just after 8 a.m. local time. Several roads were closed in the area due to flooding.

20-30 VEHICLES COLLIDE IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ALONG MAJOR NORTHWEST FREEWAY

Near Dublin, the California Highway Patrol reported two interstate closures due to flooding. Southbound Interstate 680 to Westbound Interstate 580 was closed due to water on the roadway.

Rain is tapering off Friday for much of the state as the storm pushes off to the east and an extended dry stretch is in the offing for next week.

Feet of snow across Sierra, ice storm for Pacific Northwest

A winter storm has been unfolding at higher elevations since Wednesday night. A Winter Storm Warning is in place for the Sierra and White mountains through Friday night.

Travel could be difficult through Friday with feet of snow and gusty winds up to 60 mph. Chain controls are in effect for most of the mountain passes, including I-80 to the Nevada state line.

There were whiteout driving conditions on the Donner Summit Pass along Interstate 80 near Truckee, California on Thursday. Conditions briefly halted traffic in both directions.

WINTER STORM BLASTS PACIFIC NORTHWEST, LEADING TO CHAOS ON MULTIPLE HIGHWAYS AROUND PORTLAND

The forecast shows up to 7 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada by the weekend.

Farther north, more than 1 million people remain under ice storm warnings in Oregon as the system brought more of a winter storm punch to the Portland area.

Across the West, the storm will wind down on Friday as it treks east, transforming into a winter storm for the eastern U.S.

California rocked by SIX earthquakes in 12 hours

READ MORE: Area 51 rocked by earthquake as seismic activity ramps up

By CHRIS MELORE ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 08:34 EST, 13 February 2025 | Updated: 15:32 EST, 13 February 2025

The California coast has been rocked by six earthquakes in less than a day.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has detected three new earthquakes Thursday afternoon near Hayward and Petrolia, California, less than 12 hours after three quakes rocked those areas early Thursday morning.

A 3.4 magnitude earthquake struck the city of Hayward at 2:52 pm ET, followed by a 3.2 magnitude quake just two minutes later.

At 2:40 pm ET, a 2.9 magnitude earthquake was reported just off the California coast near Petrolia.

This new seismic activity comes just hours after the USGS detected a 2.7 magnitude quake at 8:03 am ET Thursday in nearly the exact same part of Hayward.

Two more earthquakes struck less than six hours earlier slightly farther off the coast of Petrolia, roughly 250 miles north of the Hayward quakes.

USGS says the first tremor hit at 2:06 am ET, measuring a 3.3 magnitude.

It was quickly followed by another 3.4 magnitude quake less than three hours later at 4:51 am ET.

The two earlier earthquakes were centered roughly 20 miles apart from each other off the coast.

While the three quakes near Petrolia struck a relatively quiet part of northern California, the ones in Hayward are in an area of the state right in between major cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont.

The newest quakes in Hayward occurred right by the aptly named Hayward fault line, which USGS notes is an active fault in the San Francisco Bay region.

The USGS shows that hundreds of people reported feeling all three seismic events Thursday morning, with more than 100 residents reporting shaking during the 2.7 magnitude quake.

The Hayward Fault runs along the foot of the East Bay hills. The last major earthquake hit on October 21, 1868, measuring a 6.8 magnitude.

Historical records show that five people were killed and 30 were injured.

Scientists have been monitoring the fault, finding it produces major quakes ever 140 years.

'Since it has been more than 144 years since the last major earthquake, the clock is ticking,' researchers at the University of California, Berkley stated.

'It is very likely that the Hayward fault will rupture and produce a significant earthquake within the next 30 years.'

The three magnitude-3 quakes near Petrolia took place near the northern portion of the infamous San Andreas fault, a major fracture in the Earth's crust that spans 800 miles up and down California.

The seismic events also occurred right along the border of the Pacific plate - the oceanic tectonic plate that lies beneath the Pacific Ocean.

It is the biggest tectonic plate on Earth, and recent studies have suggested that large undersea faults may be pulling it apart.

A 2024 study in Geophysical Research Letters found that the deep underwater faults are the result of enormous forces within the Pacific plate dragging it westward.

The San Andreas fault line also sits just miles away from the Hayward fault.

Experts have warned that California is overdue for another massive earthquake along the San Andreas.

A potential magnitude 8 quake would wreak havoc upon the state's most populated cities, causing roughly 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, and $200 billion in damage, according to estimates by the California Earthquake Authority.

Experts are 'fairly confident that there could be a pretty large earthquake at some point in the next 30 years,' Angie Lux, project scientist for Earthquake Early Warning at the Berkeley Seismology Lab, told DailyMail.com in 2024.

As for this most recent series of smaller earthquakes, seismic activity above 2.5 in magnitude can often be felt and cause minor damage.

The San Andreas fault released another pair of earthquakes on February 10, rocking San Bernardino.

The USGS detected a preliminary 3.5 magnitude at 12:44pm ET, followed by a 3.0 magnitude about four minutes later.

The 3.5 earthquake was felt in San Bernardino, as well as Ontario, Victorville, Hesperia and Riverside.

Residents in Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Palm Springs, Huntington Beach and north San Diego County reported feeling them as well, as one X user said: 'Felt both!'

'Yup felt that one...another day in California,' wrote another.

More than 230 people said they felt shaking, the USGS Felt Report said.

Others said they didn't feel the quakes at all, as California is used to larger tremors.

'Hell, I’m IN San Bernardino - and I needed social media to tell me there was an earthquake,' a person said on X.

'No, did not feel it. And I'm in that area,' another said on Facebook.

Warning as threat levels for three US volcanoes are elevated due to possible eruptions

READ MORE: Mile-wide volcano off the West Coast set to erupt this year

By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 11:29 EST, 14 February 2025 | Updated: 14:09 EST, 14 February 2025

Scientists are on high alert after threat levels rose for three US volcanoes Thursday, suggesting eruptions may be imminent.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) placed Alaska's Great Sitkin on 'Watch' because it is 'exhibiting heightened or escalating unrest' and the state's Mount Spur is under 'Advisory' after showing signs of unrest.

Lava began erupting slowly in the summit crater of Great Sitkin Volcano this week and small earthquakes were detected over the past day.

Mount Spurr, located in the Tordrillo Mountains about 80 miles from Anchorage, has also experienced an uptick in seismic activity over the last 10 months. Scientists warned it has a 50-50 chance of erupting soon.

Hawaii's Kilauea is also under 'Watch' after erupting earlier this week for its ninth episode of activity since December 23.

The volcano released a massive stream of lava on Tuesday, shooting it more than 300 feet into the air.

While Kilauea is located inside the secluded Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, its latest eruption produced gas, ash and windblown shards of volcanic glass that can be hazardous to human health.

As of Friday morning, the volcano's activity had settled. But experts say it is likely to erupt again within the next three to six days.

The USGS uses a nationwide volcano alert-level system for characterizing conditions (quiet, unrest, eruption) at US volcanoes.

The codes include 'Normal,' 'Advisory,' 'Watch' and 'Warning,' which are also shown in colors: Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.

The US is home to 169 active volcanoes spread out through Alaska, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Each volcano is monitored by the USGS that looks at seismic activity, ground deformation, volcanic gases, thermal emissions, and changes in water levels and chemistry.

And those factors were enough to place three volcanoes under elevated alerts.

While Mount Spurr is exhibiting signs of heightened unrest, it is not actively erupting yet.

Since the earthquakes first began in April 2024, their rate has increased from an average of 30 per week to an average of 125 per week, ramping up in early October.

Experts at the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) believe this seismic activity is being driven by new magma churning beneath the volcano, a sign that an eruption could be imminent.

If Mount Spurr does blow, it could produce explosive plumes of ash, destructive mudslides called lahars and avalanches of hot gas, ash and rock called pyroclastic flows, which would race down the volcano's side at over 200 mph.

Fortunately, there are not any communities within the potential path of pyroclastic flows or lahars from Mount Spurr.

But the amount of ash that would spew forth from this volcano could pose a threat to human health, causing breathing difficulties and releasing toxins linked to cancer.

Great Sitkin, which sits in the western Aleutian Islands, was elevated to a higher risk following small earthquakes and steaming from its summit crater.

This volcano explosively erupted in May 2021 following a series of earthquakes beneath it.

The eruption sent a plume of ash and gas 15,000 feet into the air, and this ash cloud prompted the USGS to upgrade Great Sitkin's threat level to a 'Warning' and code its aviation risk as red, indicating an urgent warning to planes flying overhead.

Volcanic ash particles are angular and sharp enough to cause jet engines to shut down, which is why experts warn pilots when a volcano poses an active threat.

Two months after this eruption, Great Sitkin began effusing lava, which is when molten rock steadily flows out of a volcano unaccompanied by an explosive event.

This volcano has been leaking lava ever since, but the recent earthquakes detected beneath it suggest another violent eruption could be looming.

Fortunately, this island volcano is surrounded by water and sits in a remote location, so its lava flows are unlikely to threaten human lives.

But just like Mount Spurr and Kilauea, ash and gas produced by Great Sitkin can be hazardous to human health when it blows into communities.

Kilauea is the only one of the three that has been truly active this week, releasing over 22 hours of lava fountains on February 12.

'Last night, several lava flows continued to slowly flow on the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu and other incandescent areas remained visible on the crater floor as recently erupted lava continues to cool,' the USGS said Thursday.

'The north vent continues to degas and glow faintly at night, indicating magma remains at relatively shallow levels in the vent.

Stress Storm

By Tom Gilbreath

We feel the stress building. It seems to be getting worse despite the legion of devices and apps we carry to help us cope with the pressures of modern life. If a time traveler from the 1960s arrived, he might be disappointed by the lack of flying cars, but he would marvel at your smart phone. Imagine having a supercomputer for a personal assistant — and being able to carry that computer in your pocket!

But it turns out that such devices do not simplify life. They just speed things up. We get more done, but with that speed comes ever-increasing levels of tension.

History shows that things have always been stressful. People of all generations dealt with uncertain economic futures, uncertain climate patterns, the looming threat of natural disaster, along with the possibilities of war, famine, and pestilence. Today we have things to help us cope — not only computers, but amazing transportation devices and instant communication with all parts of the world. Kings and queens didn’t have such things a few centuries ago. In many ways, these are the best of times. Still, stress levels remain high.

People often point to an event in US history and say, “That’s when America lost its innocence.” They apply this description to the Great Depression, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, John Kennedy’s assassination, the Viet Nam War, Watergate, 9/11, and others. But America could not have lost its innocence during those events because it had no innocence to lose.

To a young person, it feels like the country lost its innocence during one of these events because, at that moment, the young person lost part of his or her own innocence. When still ensconced in a safe family environment, it’s shocking to learn that the unthinkable can happen.

We should not let nostalgia diminish the difficulties faced by previous generations. But we should understand that the world really is changing. Lowering moral standards and a rising population with access to ever more powerful technologies makes global cataclysms, not just possible, but practically inevitable.

A huge portion of our stress today comes from living in a house with a compromised moral foundation. Its creaks and shudders foreshadow future collapse. That knowledge underlies today’s stress. Previous generations faced difficulties that we do not. But we face things they hadn’t even thought of. In the next few years, weapons of mass destruction will proliferate. Artificial Intelligence will rewrite the rules of human survival. Pestilences like Covid-19 will reappear in stronger forms — engineered for greater destruction. I could go on about stressors unique to our time, but those three are enough.

The comfort in reading history is that we know what happens next. But real life must be lived on the infinitely small razor edge of time that we call “now.” We don’t know what the world will be like when we wake up in the morning, or if we will wake up at all. We make guesses based on the past, but we do not know.

Bible prophecy gives us an outline of the future, including a series of apocalyptic horrors. These days, even unbelievers sense that something evil slinks along behind us in the dark, ready to devour us without notice. The unthinkable is coming, but it will not be the end.

Whether calm or in stress, always be counted among those “who eagerly look forward to His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:8, New Living Translation). Till He comes, remember John 16:33. In this verse, Jesus told us the kind of outlook we should adopt, and then He gave us a powerful reason for adopting it. “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

It is only through His love and your generosity we are able to share the Gospel and hope with millions around the world.

Global Famine Is Literally Inevitable As 77.6% Of The Earth Becomes More Arid And The Ground Beneath Our Feet Becomes More Unstable

Michael Snyder  Feb 10, 2025

Did you know that more than three-quarters of the land on the surface of our planet has been steadily getting drier? All over the world, forests are being ripped out, greenery is disappearing and once vibrant soil is being degraded. Meanwhile, governments are monkeying around with the weather and conducting all sorts of secretive geoengineering experiments. As a result, we now have an unprecedented crisis on our hands. Approximately half of the population of Africa now lives on drylands, and that continent is being plagued by endless famines right now. Unfortunately, much of the rest of the world is headed in the exact same direction. In particular, Europe, Brazil and the western half of the United States are drying out at a very alarming rate. If current trends continue, global famine is literally inevitable.

Michael Snyder’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

According to a report that was released by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, 77.6 percent of the land on the surface of our planet is drier now than it was 30 years ago…

77.6% of Earth’s land has become drier in the last three decades compared to the 30 years prior, with drylands expanding by an area larger than India to cover 40.6% of the land on Earth, except for Antarctica.

And the findings, released in a new report by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification ((UNCCD), warn that if the trend continues, up to five billion people could live in drylands by the century’s end — causing soils to deplete, water resources to dwindle, and vital ecosystems to collapse.

Needless to say, when land dries out it can have a whole host of absolutely disastrous consequences…

Indeed it is. According to the UNCCD, the transformation over the three studied decades is leading to loss of GDP, forced migration, increased mortality due to dust storms, worsening of wildfires, land erosion, vegetation degradation, salinization of water and soil, and more.

They are telling us that 5 billion people will be living on drylands by the end of this century.

But there is no way that we will ever get to that point.

Just look at what is happening in Africa. It is the driest continent by a wide margin, and people are constantly dropping dead from starvation even though Africa is receiving mountains of food assistance from the rest of the world.

So what is going to happen when most of the world is as dry as Africa is right now?

The truth is that we are entering a time when we simply are not going to be able to feed everyone and a lot of people are going to die.

I honestly do not know what Europe is going to do during the years ahead. At this point, 95.9 percent of that continent is steadily drying…

Europe is feeling the current burn especially acutely, with a whopping 95.9% of the continent experiencing drying. Also hard hit are Brazil, parts of the western U.S., the Mediterranean region, central Africa, and eastern Asia. Water, of course, is neither created nor destroyed, merely relocated. As 77.6% of the planet has grown drier, 22.4% has grown wetter, especially in the central U.S., Angola’s Atlantic coast, and southeast Asia—regions that have seen increasingly powerful storms and flooding. But it is drying that is the dominant trend globally, and it’s coming at a steep price.

The Europeans like to brag that they are such wonderful “environmentalists”, but they have been ruthlessly ripping out their forests and grasslands.

Of course the exact same thing has been happening in Brazil…

For example, in cocoa-producing regions like northeastern Brazil, deforestation to make room for agriculture disrupts local water cycles and exposes soils to degradation. Without vegetation to anchor it, topsoil – critical for plant growth – washes away during rainfall or is blown away by winds, taking with it vital nutrients.

These changes create a vicious cycle: Degraded soils also hold less water and lead to more runoff, reducing the land’s ability to recover.

Chopping down millions of trees is an incredibly foolish thing to do.

When you chop down millions of trees, the land dries out and you lose valuable topsoil.

Back during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, our government actually planted 220 million trees in a desperate attempt to prevent topsoil from blowing away in the middle of the country.

A drought is just temporary, but unless something dramatic is done the aridity crisis that much of the world is facing will be permanent…

“For the first time, the aridity crisis has been documented with scientific clarity, revealing an existential threat affecting billions around the globe,” Ibrahim Thiaw, the UNCCD executive secretary, said in a statement. “Droughts end. When an area’s climate becomes drier, however, the ability to return to previous conditions is lost. The drier climates now affecting vast lands across the globe will not return to how they were and this change is redefining life on Earth.”

Unfortunately, very few seem to be taking this threat seriously.

With each passing day, more trees are being chopped down and more grasslands are being eliminated.

So we continue our march toward disaster.

According to one expert, “billions face a future marked by hunger, displacement, and economic decline”…

“Without concerted efforts, billions face a future marked by hunger, displacement, and economic decline,” said Nicole Barger, chair of the UNCCD’s science-policy interface in a statement.

Of course even if we could completely solve the aridity crisis, we would still be facing global famine because of the loss of nutrients in our soil, the killing off of our pollinators, and the trillions of microplastic particles that are saturating the ground that we grow our food in.

Meanwhile, the Earth continues to become more unstable and scientists have discovered that the the inner core of our planet has actually been changing shape…

Scientists who just months ago confirmed that Earth’s inner core recently reversed its spin have a new revelation about our planet’s deepest secrets — they identified changes to the inner core’s shape.

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun. Now, researchers have found the first evidence of changes taking place over the past 20 years in the shape of the inner core. Signs of the core’s deformation appeared in waves from earthquakes that were strong enough to reach Earth’s center.

The research team used that same earthquake data for a 2024 study to resolve a longstanding debate over the inner core’s rotation. They found that the inner core once spun faster than Earth itself. But beginning around 2010, the solid inner core’s spin slowed. It’s now revolving backward, relative to the rest of the planet.

Should we be concerned that the Earth’s core has slowed down dramatically and is now spinning backwards?

I don’t know.

But I do know that we have been witnessing lots of very unusual seismic activity.

For example, in recent days Santorini has been shaken by more than 6,000 earthquakes…

Santorini, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece, could soon be swamped by volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. The island has been rattled by 6,400 minor and moderate earthquakes this week, sometimes only minutes between each quake.

Meanwhile, a very strange quake was just reported near Area 51 in Nevada…

An earthquake has hit a secret military testing base near Las Vegas after a gigantic tremor sparked tsunami warnings in the Caribbean.

The United States Geological Survey said there was a 2.8 magnitude shake near the highly classified Area 51 base in Nevada. The agency revealed the quake’s epicenter was East of Amargosa Valley, around 50 miles from the United States Air Force facility, infamous for conspiracies concerning its connection with aliens and UFOs.

The very alarming changes that are happening to our planet have been a major theme of my work for many years. Unfortunately, most of the population still has no idea what is taking place.

What we are witnessing is not even close to normal.

We really are living in apocalyptic times, and that won’t change no matter how hard some people try to ignore the facts.

Ukraine selling US weapons to Mexican drug cartels – Tucker Carlson

Kiev resells up to half of its Western military aid on international black markets, the American journalist has claimed

10 Feb, 2025 23:36

A significant portion of the weapons Washington has provided to Kiev as military aid in its conflict with Russia ends up in the hands of America’s “actual enemies,” including Mexican drug cartels, US journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed.

Up to half of the weapons sent by the US to Ukraine end up on international black markets, the former Fox News host said on Monday during an interview with retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Daniel Davis.

“The Ukrainian military is selling a huge percentage – up to half – of the arms that we send them. I know this for a fact,” Carlson claimed, without disclosing his sources or providing specific evidence.

Carlson said Washington is providing Kiev with “hundreds of billions of dollars” worth of arms, a significant portion of which is being “stolen and sold to our actual enemies,” including “drug cartels on our border.” He also claimed that weapons from Ukraine can easily be purchased online, describing the situation as a “crime” and a “nightmare.”

Since 2022, the US Congress has authorized approximately $175 billion in aid for Ukraine. However, a large portion of that funding has reportedly been allocated to American industries and other US government activities related to the conflict.

In January, US President Donald Trump claimed that Washington had spent “$200 billion more than the EU” on aid to Kiev. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky later stated that Kiev had received just over $75 billion in military and other forms of assistance from Washington, adding that he had no idea where Trump’s estimate of $200 billion originated or where it could have vanished.

Moscow has warned that the unchecked supply of Western weapons to Ukraine has led to a large number of arms falling into the hands of organized criminal groups and extremists worldwide.

Western media outlets and officials have also acknowledged that weapons supplied to Kiev have ended up in criminal hands. In April 2022, Europol reported that its investigations indicated weapons were being trafficked out of Ukraine and into the EU to supply organized crime groups.

In October 2022, the Finnish authorities stated that weapons originally sent to Kiev had surfaced in the country and were acquired by local criminals. At the time, similar reports emerged from Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

In June 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Western anti-tank weapons intended for Ukraine had been found on Israel’s border, to be used against the Jewish state.

In June 2024, Spanish media reported that criminal gangs in southern Spain had obtained modern military-grade weapons allegedly smuggled from Ukraine.

Moscow confirms strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure

The attack targeted military-related facilities, as well as airfields and drone sites, the Defense Ministry has said

Russia has carried out a wave of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure that supports the country’s military-industrial effort, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has confirmed.

In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry said that its forces had conducted a “group strike using long-range high-precision land,- air- and sea-based weapons as well as attack drones” on targets in Kiev-controlled territory. According to officials, the strikes were aimed at “gas and energy facilities supporting Ukraine’s defense industry, military airfield infrastructure, and sites for storage and preparation of attack drones.”

“The objectives of the strikes have been achieved,” the statement read.

Ukrainian officials have also confirmed the attacks, acknowledging that temporary localized blackouts had to be imposed to minimize the impact on the power grid. The Energy Ministry clarified, however, that the restrictions would not affect residential consumers, critical infrastructure, or businesses importing more than 60% of their electricity.

Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state-owned gas company, reported damage to production facilities in northern Poltava Region, adding that there were no casualties. Local officials also confirmed that nine settlements in the Mirgorod district were left without gas supply following the strikes.

In Kharkov Region, Russian drones damaged power lines and transformers, leading to localized blackouts, Strana.ua reported, while the local prosecutor’s office confirmed that critical infrastructure, residential buildings, and businesses had sustained damaged, but no injuries occurred.

Moscow has for months launched long-range strikes on Ukrainian military installations and energy infrastructure linked to defense operations, stating that these attacks never target civilians. Meanwhile, Russia has frequently accused Ukraine of conducting strikes on its civilian infrastructure, including residential areas as well as on oil processing plants across the country.

FLASH: "Russia-US relations are at breaking point"

Hal Turner World February 10, 2025 Hits: 20925

For days, word has been seeping-out that the US and Russia have been communicating behind the scenes, at the Department Level, regarding primarily the Russia-Ukraine conflict. At least one time during this process, Presidents Trump and Putin spoke with each other. Today, something bad happened.

For some reason, not yet known, Sergei Ryabkov, the Deputy Foreign Minister, stated today "Russia-US relations are at breaking point."

Ryabkov said Russia repeatedly voiced that Moscow-Washington ties are "balancing on the brink of a rupture," and that the administration under former President Joe Biden "bet on a hybrid war" with the goal of inflicting a "strategic defeat" on Russia.

He also commented on US President Donald Trump’s team, saying that despite contradictions in their statements, they at least show interest in resuming dialogue with Russia.

“We are ready for dialogue, as we have stated repeatedly, including discussions on a settlement in Ukraine. But this can only happen on an equal and mutually acceptable basis,” he added.

The deputy minister emphasized the need to recognize the realities on the ground and address the root causes of the crisis for any resolution.

“We have previously mentioned that there is at least a small window of opportunity for normalizing Russia-US relations under the Trump administration. Whether the US seizes this opportunity depends entirely on them,” he said.

Ryabkov also warned against the use of ultimatums and aggressive rhetoric in negotiations with Russia.

“The language of ultimatums, provocative statements, and attempts to make us accept unrealistic demands in exchange for supposed favors will not work in relations and dialogue with Russia,” he said.

California rocked by twin earthquakes in San Bernardino

By EMMA RICHTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 13:43 EST, 10 February 2025 | Updated: 14:34 EST, 10 February 2025

A pair of earthquakes rocked San Bernardino, California, on Monday morning.

The first tremor hit the area at 9.44am local time at a preliminary 3.5 magnitude, and a second quake followed at 9.48am at a 3.0 magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Both earthquakes took place approximately three miles north-northeast of San Bernardino, with their depths spanning more than four miles.

No reports of damage were immediately reported.

The 3.5 earthquake was felt in San Bernardino, as well as Ontario, Victorville, Hesperia and Riverside.

Residents in Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Palm Springs, Huntington Beach and north San Diego County reported feeling them as well, as one X user said: 'Felt both!'

'Yup felt that one...another day in California,' wrote another.

More than 230 people said they felt shaking, the USGS Felt Report said.

Others said they didn't feel the quakes at all, as California is used to larger tremors.

'Hell, I’m IN San Bernardino - and I needed social media to tell me there was an earthquake,' a person said on X.

'No, did not feel it. And I'm in that area,' another said on Facebook.

In January, California was hit with four earthquakes in the space of 24 hours.

The four quakes occurred along the San Andreas fault - the volatile boundary between two tectonic plates: the Pacific plate and the North American plate. It runs 800 miles along the coast of California.

Scientists have said that the West Coast is overdue for a massive quake along the San Andreas fault, which would measure magnitude 8 or higher.

While no injuries or damage was reported, the seismic activity followed a deadly stretch of wildfires in Southern California that began on January 7.

Both the southern and northern sections of the San Andreas fault have a roughly equal likelihood of generating a high-magnitude earthquake in the next few decades.

The 'Big One' would measure an 8.0 magnitude or above, causing roughly 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries and $200 billion in damage, according to the Great California Shakeout.

Experts are 'fairly confident that there could be a pretty large earthquake at some point in the next 30 years,' Angie Lux, project scientist for Earthquake Early Warning at the Berkeley Seismology Lab, told DailyMail.com.

Our Self-Important, Self-Deluding, Self-Unaware ‘Elites’ - Ladies And Gentlemen, There Is Chutzpah, And Then There Is Twenty-First-Century 'Ruling Class' Chutzpah

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline February 10, 2025

Our self-appointed “ruling class” is insufferable. Two-plus weeks into the restored Trump administration, and the Democrat/media outrage template has become utterly banal:

(1) Trump delivers on a campaign promise.

(2) Democrats collapse onto fainting couches and wail, “He can’t do that!,” and then

(3) those same sobbing sad sacks get back up, clutch their pearls, and collapse in anguish yet again.

It would be amusing if their funerary pantomime were not so exhausting.

Unindicted “Russia collusion” co-conspirator and former acting director of the FBI Andrew McCabe ran to the Communist News Network to complain that all his old friends at the Bureau are terrified of being fired. He reported to fellow Democrat traveler Anderson Cooper that FBI officials are worried about how they’re going to pay their bills and take care of their families. “If you get fired,” McCabe explained energetically, like one toddler telling another toddler about the world, “you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job. You lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension, you lose your health insurance.” Baby Cooper agreed with Baby McCabe that those consequences sound scary.

Yet neither had the requisite self-awareness to ponder, “Is this what J6 protesters felt like when the Gestapo FBI hunted down alleged trespassers as if they were America’s ‘Most Wanted’ criminals?” Watching the two Democrat babies cry about FBI agents losing their jobs and reputations after we have seen the Bureau do the exact same thing to law-abiding Americans for years is absolutely surreal!

Did Cooper and McCabe ever shed a tear for military veterans who were treated like domestic terrorists for merely showing up in D.C. on January 6, 2021? Did they call out the federal government’s atrocious actions when patriotic Americans with no prior criminal records were forced to choose between egregious plea “deals” and spending years in pre-trial confinement away from their families? Did they ever stop to wonder how ordinary citizens who don’t have the “elite” privilege of avoiding prosecution (as McCabe did) or the luxury of a side hustle on CNN (because the “most trusted name in news” regards liars and lawbreakers as “reliable sources”) were ever going to pay their bills or provide for their families?

Of course not. As the tired but true saying goes, if it weren’t for double-standards, Democrats would have no standards at all! Well, here’s some valuable advice for all the propagandists posing as journalists at CNN and all the unethical, just-following-orders agents posing as law enforcement professionals at the FBI: learn to code. I hear Elon Musk is hiring.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is chutzpah, and then there is twenty-first-century “ruling class” chutzpah. If we really are stuck in some kind of twisted computer simulation right now (as so many atheistic tech bros desperate for personal meaning would have us believe), would the A.I. moderators for this timeline please dispatch posthaste all the self-important, self-deluding, self-unaware, overpaid, useless “elites”? Nobody believes the programming language coming out of their mouths anymore. As Jack Nicholson advises in As Good As It Gets, “Sell crazy someplace else. We’re all stocked up here.”

Speaking of losers, Senator (up) Chuck Schumer ran to the Senate floor to complain about President Trump’s decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (which has always been a CIA front for fomenting revolutions and may have funded gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan, China), the Department of Education, and other nefarious limbs of the xecutive Branch that essentially launder taxpayer dollars into the bank accounts of bad people. Ol’ (up)Chuck fumed, “This is just the beginning. ...Who knows? Next might be the IRS.” And the people of America rejoiced!

It was obvious even before Democrats started openly grooming children with “drag queen” story hours and encouraging them to have sex “change” operations in the fourth grade that the Jackass Party is totally delusional. But consider just how incurably delusional the Dim Dems must really be for their highest-ranking leaders in government to run to the cameras and cry about the possible elimination of the dreaded, politicized, corrupt, and well armed IRS.

I think the Senate’s in-house physician should find Schumer, gently knock on his head, and inquire, “Hello? Hello? Anybody home?” There’s cuckoo; there’s Democrat rank-and-file cuckoo; and then there’s (up) Chuck Schumer chivalrously-defending-the-sacred-honor-of-the-IRS, bat-crazy kind of cuckoo. If the IRS disappears tomorrow, Americans all over the country will dance in the streets!

From time to time, a Republican politician suggests that we add President Trump’s visage to Mount Rushmore — the “Shrine of Democracy” that towers over the Black Hills in South Dakota. Democrats expectedly freak out at the thought, and apoplectic group therapy sessions eat up hours of commentary on cable news. Nothing gets Democrats’ communal goat faster than the suggestion that not only is President Trump winning, but also his winning is becoming so legendary as to deserve chiseled commemoration on sacred rocks once belonging to tribes of Native Americans (who, we are told, were peaceful environmentalists of the highest Greta Thunberg order).

If Donald J. Trump accomplished nothing else during his presidency other than eliminating the federal income tax that immorally deprives Americans of the fruits of their own labor, he would be hailed as one of the greatest presidents in American history. Common Americans would gladly dedicate their time, labor, and tax-free savings to add Trump’s face alongside Mount Rushmore’s other greats. Making Mount Rushmore even greater would be a fitting tribute for the man who finally ends Uncle Sam’s century-long crime spree of stealing hard earned money from Americans’ back pockets. And hyper-delusional Democrats such as (up) Chuck Schumer would no doubt cry about the death of the IRS and blame its “murder” on poor Americans unwilling to pay their “fair share.” If legalized theft disappears, how will the federal government finance its other criminal operations? Some crooks in the Deep State Blob might actually have to get legitimate jobs and earn an honest living. Boo-freak’n-hoo.

Taxing Americans for their labor means that Americans work for the government. If government administrators siphon somewhere between one third to one half of their incomes, that means the government owns them for four to six months each year. Income taxes are nothing more than politically correct permutations of financial servitude. Just because Americans submit to this organized theft doesn’t make it any less dehumanizing. It lacks the violent oppression synonymous with the worst forms of human bondage, but it is nonetheless a peculiar institution.

If the U.S. Agency for International Development loses the privilege to fill its slush funds with Americans’ taxes, that’s a good start. USAID has always been a CIA front used to bribe foreign officials, instigate civil wars, and push destructive propaganda. USAID helped to incite the Ukraine Civil War back when Barack Obama was president and has orchestrated similar color revolutions in Georgia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, and elsewhere. This has never been much of a secret, and thanks to salt-dog patriots such as Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse, many Americans now recognize an uncomfortable truth: America, the country that preaches “democracy” to the world, loves to overturn democratic elections and install puppet presidents inside vassal regimes.

Still, Ivy League magazines regularly feature glowing stories about USAID’s “humanitarian” missions, effectively feeding disinformation to the next generation’s self-styled “elites.” That’s just one way our execrable “ruling class” deludes itself. Defund them all.

Woke Pastor Tells Congregation They’ll Be “Forgiven by Jesus” If They Assassinate Trump

Bradley Greer By Bradley Greer

9:10 am  02/12/2025

Any opinions expressed by authors in this article do not necessarily represent the views of Disswire.com.

A Democratic pastor has called for the assassination of President Donald Trump in response to the President placing Elon Musk in charge of exposing Democratic corruption within the government.

Pastor Steve Caudle said:  “In this nation, I worry that we are on the verge of bloodshed.”

“This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go, and we will not go.”

Therefore there will be conflict. I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation,” Caudle said.

“I’ll say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary,” the pastor continued.

“When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your social security check, there is the possibility of violence.”

“Sometimes the Devil will act so ugly that you have NO CHOICE but to get violent and fight!” he added.

“Well, someone might say, Reverend, you shouldn’t be talking about violence, this isn’t the Christian thing to do. Well, I will say why not talk this way because Jesus did.”

The statement came after several prominent Democrat politicians called for Americans to take to the streets and “fight” back against the Trump administration.

Pastor Caudle’s remarks have ignited significant controversy, with many interpreting his words as advocating for violence against Musk.

This has led to widespread criticism from both his congregation and the public.

Elon Musk, appointed by President Trump to lead DOGE, has been actively involved in initiatives to reduce federal spending and eliminate waste.

His actions have included dismantling agencies, reducing the federal workforce, and controlling digital payment systems. These measures have been met with both support and criticism.

Legal challenges have further exacerbated the tension surrounding Musk’s role. A federal judge recently blocked DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury Department data, leading Musk to call for the impeachment of judges he deems “corrupt.”

Pastor Caudle’s controversial sermon reflects the deepening divisions and heightened emotions in the current political climate, particularly concerning the actions and influence of figures like Elon Musk within the government.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Judge Rules Biblical Teaching A Threat To Child's Well-Being, Bans From Church

In a stunning legal decision in Maine, a judge has ruled that a mother is forbidden from taking her daughter to church--unless it is a church approved by her ex-boyfriend. The ruling has sparked significant controversy, as it directly challenges religious freedom and parental rights.

Liberty Counsel, a legal organization specializing in religious liberty cases, has taken immediate action to appeal the decision, arguing that it violates the U.S. Constitution and centuries of legal precedent protecting a parent's right to raise their child in their faith.

The case stems from a dispute between the parents, who separated before their daughter was born. For years, there was no major conflict regarding parenting decisions--until the mother and daughter began attending church together. The father objected to his daughter wearing T-shirts with Bible verses and expressed outrage when she wanted to be baptized, calling it "indoctrination."

A major focus of his complaint was that Calvary Chapel Bangor teaches the Bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse--an approach that is central to the Calvary Chapel movement nationwide. To support his case, he hired a former California State University sociology professor who characterized the church as a "cult."

The judge's order declared that because the mother testified that her daughter's faith in God was "more important than anything," the court found that "Elizabeth's beliefs about Calvary Chapel's teachings have eclipsed her ability to make decisions that are in her daughter's best interests."

The judge spent nearly half of her 11-page opinion excoriating Calvary Chapel’s ministers and members for having the audacity to pray over Elizabeth and Andrea. As a result, she is now banned from taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel or any other church the father does not approve of.

This decision has deeply alarmed Christians, as it raises concerns about how the government could interfere in religious upbringing. If courts can dictate where a parent may or may not take their child to worship, it sets a dangerous precedent for restricting religious expression.

The Truth About Calvary Chapel

One of the most disturbing elements of this case is the mischaracterization of Calvary Chapel as a "cult." In reality, Calvary Chapel is one of the most Bible-centered Christian movements in the U.S. and beyond. Founded by Pastor Chuck Smith in the 1960s, the Calvary Chapel movement grew out of the Jesus movement, welcoming people from all backgrounds--including many disillusioned youth from the counterculture.

A defining characteristic of Calvary Chapel churches is their commitment to systematically teaching the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter. This method ensures that congregants develop a deep, well-rounded understanding of Scripture, rather than selectively focusing on certain topics.

Over the decades, Calvary Chapel has expanded to more than 1,700 affiliated churches worldwide. Some of the most influential Christian teachers have emerged from this movement, including Chuck Missler, known for his in-depth Bible studies, and Greg Laurie, one of today's leading evangelists. Laurie was also the central figure in the recent hit film Jesus Revolution, which depicted the rise of the Calvary Chapel movement and its impact on an entire generation.

The Battle for Religious Freedom

This case is about more than one family's dispute--it is a fight for religious liberty. If a court can bar a parent from taking their child to church based on the other parent's objections, it paves the way for further government overreach into religious life. Today, it is one church. Tomorrow, it could be an entire denomination, or a broader restriction on religious practice.

Liberty Counsel is working diligently to overturn this ruling, arguing that it not only violates parental rights but also ignores the fundamental protections of religious freedom in America. For Christians across the country, this case serves as a sobering reminder that religious liberty must be actively defended. If this ruling is allowed to stand, it could embolden future efforts to limit church attendance, religious expression, and parental authority in matters of faith.

As the case moves forward, it remains crucial for Christians to stand firm in defense of their right to worship and raise their children in accordance with biblical truth.

Tankers Flood Airspace Off The California Coast For China-Focused Air Combat Exercise

The latest Bamboo Eagle exercise reflects plans for ever-larger air combat exercises as part of preparations for a high-end fight with China.

Joseph Trevithick

Posted 19 Hours Ago

At least 20 U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft, 10 KC-46s and an equal number of KC-135s, supported the first day of the latest Bamboo Eagle exercise off the California Coast, according to online flight tracking data. The first Bamboo Eagle occurred last year, as you can learn more about in this past TWZ feature. The large force exercise series has quickly become one of the most important for the U.S. military, as well as key allies, and has a clear eye on preparing for a future coalition fight in the Pacific with China.

The U.S. Air Force announced the start of Bamboo Eagle 25-1 yesterday. Like all previous iterations, the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center (USAFWC) at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada has been leading the exercise, but units spread across many other bases, predominantly in California, are also participating. U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy units are known to be taking part, but other branches have also been included in past iterations of Bamboo Eagle. Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) have also returned and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has joined the exercise for the first time.

As already noted, online flight tracking data showed a large force of KC-46 and KC-135 tankers supporting day one of Bamboo Eagle 25-1. At least one RAF Voyager, the British name for the Airbus A330 Multi-Role Transport Aircraft (MRTT), was also tracked in the area.

An Air Force RC-135V/W Rivet Joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft was also spotted likely supporting Bamboo Eagle 25-1 yesterday. However, Rivet Joints have been recently tracked flying over the Pacific off southern California, as well as elsewhere in the southwestern United States, as part of a surge of U.S. military support to border security operations opposite Mexico.

Not visible in the online flight tracking data from yesterday or today are the huge numbers of tactical jets that the tankers and other supporting aircraft were working with. In its announcement about the start of Bamboo Eagle 25-1, the Air Force included pictures of Air Force F-35A and RAF Typhoon FGR4 fighters, as well as Navy EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jets, taking part in Red Flag 25-1 at Nellis.

Red Flag is the U.S. Air Force’s premier air combat exercise series and recent iterations have been increasingly focused on operations in the Pacific. This in turn has put new emphasis on the range complexes off the coast of southern California, which offer larger areas in which to train on physically broader and otherwise more complex scenarios, and do so over water.

Red Flag is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and the RAF and RAAF, among other key allies, are often participants. Other aircraft, including Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles and B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, as well as RAAF Growlers, took part in Red Flag 25-1, which flowed directly into Bamboo Eagle 25-1.

“This is the largest number of aircraft we’ve deployed for an exercise at Nellis (AFB) since we first attended Red Flag in 1980,” RAAF Group Captain Stewart Seeney said in a statement yesterday. “These exercises provide a realistic training environment where we can integrate different capabilities and develop our ability to work with key allies and partners. For many of our aviators, deploying on these exercises is a career highlight and is not an experience that can be easily replicated elsewhere.”

F-35As from Hill Air Force Base in Utah are also notably operating from Naval Air Station North Island in California as part of the exercise. The Navy facility has been used as a staging point in past iterations of Bamboo Eagle. Air Force units using it for this purpose also have the opportunity to train around still-evolving rapid deployment and related concepts of operations, currently referred to collectively as Agile Combat Employment (ACE), which the service has been working on for years now. ACE has been and continues to be a central focus for Bamboo Eagle exercises, in general.

“We have had the luxury of operating from safe haven bases for many decades, and modern threats have fundamentally changed that reality,” Air Force Maj. Gen. Christopher Niemi, head of USAFWC also said in a statement. “Bamboo Eagle is a big part of helping us figure out how to manage those threats, and training together with our allies improves our ability to face those threats as a unified team.”

Other branches of the U.S. military, especially the U.S. Marine Corps, have been developing similar concepts of operations all centered heavily on ways to quickly deploy and redeploy forces throughout forward areas to upend enemy targeting cycles. Concerns about access to established bases, especially in the context of a potential future high-end fight in the Pacific, have been particular drivers of these efforts. There are growing calls for the U.S. military to do more to physically harden bases in the Pacific, along with other defensive improvements, which you can read more about here.

The prospect of a major conflict with China in the Pacific, where bases on the ground may be few and far between, has also been contributing to concerns about overall aerial refueling capacity, as well as the vulnerability of existing tankers. What has been seen from Bamboo Eagle 25-1 already underscores the critical importance of aerial refueling, especially for supporting shorter-legged tactical jets.

The Air Force is in the process of refining requirements for new stealth tankers and has also been exploring more novel options for increasing aerial refueling capacity. The Navy and Marine Corps, which have the added planning consideration of expeditionary aviation operations from carriers and other big deck ships, are also acutely aware of the issues at play. The Navy is planning to add MQ-25 Stingray drone tankers to its carrier air wings in the coming years and there is also interest in new options for extending the ranges of existing tactical jets. Private contractors, which can provide aerial refueling support for non-combat missions and help free up organic U.S. military tankers in the process, are another steadily growing part of the equation. There is significant uncertainty around future defense spending plans under President Donald Trump’s new administration, especially when it comes to Air Force modernization priorities like stealth tankers and other next-generation aircraft that were already facing affordability concerns.

Bamboo Eagle 25-1 also comes ahead of Air Force plans to stage a massive air combat exercise across reperetantive operating areas in the Pacific this summer, which you can read more about here. Dubbed REFORPAC, the exercise is expected to last some two weeks, days of which will be spent just getting forces to and from operating locations, underscoring the basic geographical challenges the region presents. At least some units taking part in REFORPAC are expected to go almost straight from that exercise into another iteration of Bamboo Eagle, as well.

Bamboo Eagle exercises themselves only look set to continue expanding in scale and scope as important parts of broader preparations for a future major Pacific fight.

Massive volcano in Alaska hit by swarm of earthquakes as scientists warn it has a 50-50 chance of erupting

READ MORE: Scientists discover California is 'peeling apart' deep underground

By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 09:29 EST, 12 February 2025 | Updated: 10:38 EST, 12 February 2025

Scientists have warned that a massive volcano in Alaska has a 50-50 chance erupting in the near future.

The 11,000-foot-tall Mount Spurr sits 77 miles from Anchorage— the state's largest city which is home to nearly 300,000 people.

Over the last 10 months, it has been experiencing an unusually high amount of small earthquakes.

Since the seismic activity first began in April 2024, the rate of earthquakes has increased from an average of 30 per week to an average of 125 per week, ramping up in early October.

Experts at the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) believe this seismic activity is being driven by new magma churning beneath the volcano, which could be a sign that it is getting ready to erupt.

If Mount Spurr does erupt, it could produce explosive plumes of ash, destructive mudslides called lahars and avalanches of hot gas, ash and rock called pyroclastic flows, which would race down the volcano's side at over 200 mph.

Fortunately, there are not any communities within the potential path of pyroclastic flows or lahars from Mount Spurr.

But the amount of ash that would spew forth from this volcano could pose a threat to human health, causing breathing difficulties and releasing toxins linked to cancer.

The last time Mount Spurr blew was in 1992, when it awoke from 39 years of dormancy after 10 months of elevated seismic activity.

That eruption emanated from the volcano's Crater Peak side vent — an opening located on the side of the volcano — and produced a column of ash that rose 65,000 feet above sea level.

About a quarter-inch of ask accumulated in Anchorage, prompting residents to stay inside or wear masks when venturing outdoors.

And because volcanic ash particles are angular and sharp enough to cause jet engines to shut down, Anchorage and other nearby airports were forced to close until the skies cleared.

'Today there are even more flights coming in and out of the Anchorage airport, so if something like that were to happen that would be very disruptive, Matt Haney, the scientist-in-charge of the AVO at the US Geological Survey, told LiveScience.

'A large ash cloud might also affect flights that traverse Alaska on their way between North America and Asia,' he added.

Haney and his colleagues at AVO have been keeping a close eye on Mount Spurr's recently elevated seismic activity.

He told LiveScience that the earthquakes indicate a 50-50 chance that this type of eruption could happen again.

'It's had a higher-than-normal number of earthquakes for many months,' he said.

'But over the past month, that itself increased, and also the location of the earthquakes changed.'

The seismic activity was previously located near the volcano's peak, but it has since moved about two miles downslope to the Crater Peak side vent — another piece of evidence to suggest an event similar to the 1992 eruption could be imminent.

But it is also possible that the earthquakes subside without any volcanic activity.

This has happened before. In 2004 and 2005, for example, Mount Spurr experienced increased seismic activity but calmed down by 2006 without an eruption ever taking place.

Another possible (but least likely) explanation for the increased seismic activity could be that Mount Spurr is preparing to unleash an eruption from its summit vent.

Such an event would likely be explosive and could produce lava flows, lahars and other hydrologic hazards, according to AVO.

While this is theoretically possible, Mount Spurr has not erupted from its summit crater since historical record keeping began.

What's more, the fact that the seismic activity migrated from the summit to the Crater Peak side vent is strong evidence to suggest a flank vent eruption is far more likely.

At this time, the two most likely scenarios are that Mount Spurr fails to erupt, or that it erupts from the Crater Peak side vent. AVO experts say both these possibilities are equally likely.

Therefore, Haney and his colleagues will be keeping a close eye on Mount Spurr for any changes in seismic activity that could signal an eruption is imminent.

'We expect to see additional changes to monitoring data prior to an eruption if one were to occur as magma moves closer to the surface,' AVO experts wrote in a statement.

'This would include further increase in the number of earthquakes, onset of sustained seismic tremor, increased gas emissions, changes in surface deformation, and melting of snow and ice.

'In 1992, such changes occurred about three weeks prior to the first eruption.'

US inflation worsened last month with prices for groceries and gasoline heading higher

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation accelerated last month as the cost of groceries, gasoline and rents rose, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs and likely underscoring the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay further interest rate cuts.

The consumer price index increased 3% in January from a year ago, Wednesday’s report from the Labor Department showed, up from 2.9% the previous month. It has increased from a 3 1/2 year low of 2.4% in September.

The figures show that inflation has remained stubbornly above the Fed’s 2% target for roughly the past six months, after it fell steadily for about a year and a half. Elevated prices created a major political hurdle for former President Joe Biden. President Donald Trump pledged to reduce prices in last year’s campaign, though most economists worry that his many proposed tariffs could at least temporarily increase costs.

The unexpected boost in inflation could dampen some of the business enthusiasm that arose after Trump’s election on promises to reduce regulation and cut taxes. Dow futures tumbled 400 points and all major markets are likely to sell off at the opening bell. Bond yields rose, a sign traders expect inflation and interest rates to remain high.

“We’re really not making progress on inflation right now,” Sarah House, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “This just extends the Fed’s hold.”

Inflation often jumps in January as many companies raise their prices at the beginning of the year, though the government’s seasonal adjustment process is supposed to filter out those effects.

Yet House said inflation’s stubbornness wasn’t just a one-month blip. Consumers — particularly wealthier ones — are still spending at a robust pace, giving many companies less reason to hold down prices. And much of the decline in inflation in 2023 and early last year stemmed from supply-chain improvements, but that trend has mostly played out.

Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core consumer prices rose 3.3% in January compared with a year ago, up from 3.2% in December. Economists closely watch core prices because they can provide a better read of inflation’s future path.

Inflation also worsened on a monthly basis, with prices jumping 0.5% in January from December, the largest increase since August 2023. Core prices climbed 0.4% last month, the most since March 2024.

Grocery prices climbed 0.5% just in January, pushed higher by a 15.2% surge in egg prices, the biggest monthly increase since June of 2015. Egg prices have soared 53% compared with a year ago.

An avian flu epidemic has forced many egg producers to cull millions of birds from their flocks. Some stores have imposed limits on egg purchases, and some restaurants have placed surcharges on egg dishes.

The cost of car insurance continues to rise, and picked up 2% just from December to January. Hotel prices rose 1.4% last month, while the cost of a gallon of gas moved up 1.8%.

Later Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will testify before the House Financial Services Committee, where he will likely be asked about inflation and the Fed’s response to it. The Fed raised its benchmark rate in 2022 and 2023 to a two-decade high of 5.3% to combat inflation. With inflation down significantly from its 9.1% peak in June 2022, it cut its rate to about 4.3% in its final three meetings last year.

The Fed’s rate typically influences other borrowing costs for things like mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.

Early Wednesday, Trump said on social media that interest rates should be lowered, “something which would go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs!!!” Yet the tick up in consumer prices makes it less likely the Fed will cut rates anytime soon.

One sign of concern for economists is that goods prices, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3% in January from the previous month. Prices for goods such as cars, furniture, and appliances had been flat or falling after supply-chain kinks stemming from the pandemic were resolved. Yet now goods prices have ticked up even before widespread tariffs have been put into effect.

Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, which could push the cost of cars, appliances, and industrial machinery higher. He also said earlier this week he would impose “reciprocal tariffs” on countries that have high duties on U.S. goods.

“There’s just a stew of uncertainty that if it lasts and lingers over the next couple months, you could see business confidence come down,” Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise, said. That could reduce hiring and investment, he said.

Inflation’s recent uptick is a major reason the Federal Reserve has paused its interest rate cuts, after implementing three of them last year. On Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said “we do not need to be in a hurry” to implement further reductions in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee.

Economists at Goldman Sachs forecast that yearly core inflation would fall almost a full percentage point, to 2.3%, by the end of this year, absent any import duties. But they expect tariffs will raise end-of-year inflation to 2.8%.

On Tuesday, Fed Chair Powell acknowledged that higher tariffs could lift inflation and limit the central bank’s ability to cut rates, calling it “a possible outcome.”

But he emphasized that it would depend on how many imports are hit with tariffs and for how long.

“In some cases it doesn’t reach the consumer much, and in some cases it does,” Powell said. “And it really does depend on facts that we we haven’t seen yet.”

US treats Russian UN mission as ‘enemies of the country’ – deputy envoy

American officials are explicit in showing that the diplomats “are not welcome,” Dmitry Polyansky has told RT

11 Feb, 2025 18:03

The Russian UN mission in New York faces significant pressure and poor treatment from its American hosts, Moscow’s deputy UN envoy, Dmitry Polyansky has told RT. The US authorities regularly impose various restrictions, including visa bans, to convey that Russian diplomats are “not welcome,” he said.

Russian diplomats have been facing “a lot of limitations,” Polyansky said on Monday. “The host country is trying to be very nasty towards us and towards our requirements.” Washington lets Russian diplomats into the country but denies them visas, he explained, adding that the UN mission staff end up facing serious restrictions to their freedom of movement.

“You can stay without a visa, but you can’t leave and then come back if you don’t have a US visa. So many of my colleagues can’t do it. Our relatives are not allowed to visit us. They are denied visas. We have a limit of 25 miles in terms of travel, which is very strict,” the deputy envoy explained.

According to Polyansky, the measures are aimed at making Russian diplomats feel unwelcome in the US and show that they “are enemies of the host country.” Despite the pressure, however, the mission remains committed to its work, Polyansky said. He noted that over the years the staff had become accustomed to such treatment. The diplomat also said the Russian embassy in the US faces even harsher treatment and more intense pressure.

Moscow has repeatedly drawn attention to the mistreatment of its diplomats working at the nation’s mission to the UN in New York. In 2023, another Russian deputy UN envoy, Maria Zabolotskaya, told the UN Committee on Relations with the Host Country about what she called a years-long campaign by the US government to undermine the work of the mission.

Members of the mission were constantly approached by agents of the US special services and bombarded with FBI recruitment ads, according to Zabolotskaya. There were also delays in visa applications being processed and movement restrictions, she said at the time, urging Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to intervene.

Chinese GPUs outdo Nvidia chips nearly tenfold in supercomputer simulation: study

Innovative parallel computing design using domestic hardware underscores Beijing’s broader strategy to blunt ‘chokepoint’ risks in critical tech

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Computer researchers in China using domestically made graphics processors have achieved a near-tenfold boost in performance over powerful US supercomputers that rely on Nvidia’s cutting-edge hardware, according to a peer-reviewed study.

The accomplishment points to possible unintended consequences of Washington’s escalating tech sanctions while challenging the dominance of American-made chips, long considered vital for advanced scientific research.

The researchers said that innovative software optimisation techniques enabled them to improve efficiency gains in computers powered by Chinese-designed graphics processing units (GPUs) to outperform US supercomputers in certain scientific computations.

While sceptics caution that software tweaks alone cannot bridge hardware gaps indefinitely, the development underscores Beijing’s broader strategy to mitigate “chokepoint” risks in critical technologies.

Scientists often rely on simulations to model real-world circumstances, such as designs to defend against flooding or urban waterlogging. But such reproductions, especially large-scale, high-resolution simulations, demand substantial time and computational resources, limiting the broader application of such an approach.

The challenge for Chinese scientists is even more daunting. For hardware, production of advanced GPUs like the A100 and H100 are dominated by foreign manufacturers. On the software side, US-based Nvidia has restricted its CUDA software ecosystem from running on third-party hardware, thus hindering the development of independent algorithms.

In search of a breakthrough, Professor Nan Tongchao with the State Key Laboratory of Hydrology-Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering at Hohai University in Nanjing, began exploring a “multi-node, multi-GPU” parallel computing approach based on domestic CPUs and GPUs. The results of their research were published in the Chinese Journal of Hydraulic Engineering on January 3.

UK and US refuse to sign international AI declaration

23 hours ago

Zoe Kleinman & Liv McMahon  Technology editor & reporter

Vance: ‘American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship'

The UK and US have not signed an international agreement on artificial intelligence (AI) at a global summit in Paris.

The statement, signed by dozens of countries including France, China and India, pledges an "open", "inclusive" and "ethical" approach to the technology's development.

In a brief statement, the UK government said it had not been able to add its name to it because of concerns about national security and "global governance."

Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance told delegates in Paris that too much regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) could "kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off".

Vance told world leaders that AI was "an opportunity that the Trump administration will not squander" and said "pro-growth AI policies" should be prioritised over safety.

His comments appear to put him at odds with French President Emmanuel Macron, who defended the need for further regulation.

"We need these rules for AI to move forward," Macron said at the summit.

The UK has previously been a champion of the idea of AI safety, with then prime minister Rishi Sunak holding the world's first AI Safety Summit in November 2023.

Andrew Dudfield, head of AI at fact-checking organisation Full Fact, said the government's decision not to sign the Paris communique put that in jeopardy.

"By refusing to sign today's international AI Action Statement the UK Government risks undercutting its hard-won credibility as a world leader for safe, ethical and trustworthy AI innovation," he said.

However UKAI - a trade body representing businesses working in the sector across the country - said it was the right decision.

"While UKAI agrees that being environmentally responsible is important, we question how to balance this responsibility with the growing needs of the AI industry for more energy," said its chief executive Tim Flagg.

"UKAI cautiously welcomes the Government's refusal to sign this statement as an indication that it will explore the more pragmatic solutions that UKAI has been calling for - retaining opportunities to work closely with our US partners", he added.

What does the agreement say?

The statement signed by 60 countries sets out an ambition to reduce digital divides by promoting AI accessibility, and ensuring the tech's development is "transparent", "safe" as well as "secure and trustworthy".

"Making AI sustainable for people and the planet," is listed as a further priority.

The agreement also notes that AI energy use - which experts have warned could rise to use as much as small countries in years to come - was discussed at a summit for the first time.

"Looking at the summit declaration, it's difficult to pinpoint what exactly in that statement the government disagrees with," said Michael Birtwistle, associate director at the Ada Lovelace Institute.

The government said in a statement it "agreed with much of the leader's declaration" but felt it was lacking in some parts.

"We felt the declaration didn't provide enough practical clarity on global governance, nor sufficiently address harder questions around national security and the challenge AI poses to it," a government spokesperson said.

The government has signed other agreements at the Paris AI Action Summit, including about sustainability and cybersecurity, they added.

Downing Street has also insisted it has not been led by the Trump administration.

"This isn't about the US, this is about our own national interest, ensuring the balance between opportunity and security", a spokesperson said.

Balancing acts

It comes amid discussions at the summit about the impact of AI development on society, the environment and governance.

Policy-makers, executives and diplomats have been mulling ways to capture the economic benefits of AI innovation, while addressing the technology's risks.

It was kicked off by Macron posting a compilation of jokey deepfake clips of himself in popular films and TV series on social media.

"This summit is focused on action, and that is exactly what we need right now," said European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday.

She said Europe's approach to AI, which has been championed throughout the summit, would also emphasise innovation, collaboration and "embrace the power of open source" technology.

The meeting is also taking place at a time of growing trade tensions between the US and Europe.

President Tump has decided to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports into the US, a move that will affect the UK and EU.

It's understood the UK will not immediately retaliate, as it seeks to tread a delicate path of maintaining good relations with the Trump administration while also building closer ties with the EU.

500,000 chips, nuclear energy to power one of world’s largest AI supercomputer

Fluidstack CEO says that in the coming decade “France will no longer export electricity – it will export intelligence.”

Updated: Feb 11, 2025 09:08 AM EST

United Kingdom-based Fluidstack has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government of France to build an artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer.

The company announced it at the ongoing AI Action Summit in Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron was present at the summit. It is a $10.3 billion (€10 billion) project, as per Macron’s announcement.

The agreement was signed by the French Minister of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, Eric Lombard, the French Minister for Industry and Energy, Marc Feracci, and Fluidstack Co-founder and President, César Maklary.

Fluidstack says that the AI supercomputer will make use of France’s abundant, carbon-free, and predominantly nuclear energy to provide up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of dedicated AI compute power.

Scalability, nuclear energy use, and other features of the new project

The company’s press release states that it plans to scale beyond 1 GW of dedicated AI compute by 2028. One of the other unique features of the AI supercomputer will be that it will be exclusively powered by decarbonized energy, with waste heat recovery for sustainability.

The phase one of the facility will ultimately host close to 500,000 next-generation AI chips.

It will use low-carbon energy supplied by the French national company RTE, through rapid grid connection. It will use the nuclear energy which the country produces for powering the AI supercomputer.

The company says that the AI supercomputer is being custom-built to train advanced AI models, to enhance France’s capability.

Maklary further stated that the partnership will allow them to “develop the infrastructure needed to support the next wave of AI innovations.”

“Partnering with the French government and global industry leaders, we are creating the most advanced computing capabilities in the world—right here in France. France’s commitment to digital and energy sovereignty makes it the ideal location for such an ambitious project, and I very am proud to be playing a key part in this initiative,” he added.

In another post on LinkedIn, Maklary said that in the coming decade, “France will no longer export electricity – it will export intelligence.”

Fluidstack to build 1GW AI supercomputer in France

The AI cloud platform company, which was founded in 2017 in Oxford University, says that the project will reinforce France’s leadership in AI infrastructure, energy security, and digital sovereignty.

A press release by the company states that the supercomputer will be designed for scalable expansion beyond 1 GW by 2028. It will offer unparalleled compute capacity for next-generation AI models, Fluidstack says.

“France is the leading European country in artificial intelligence. Since 2017, we have trained our talents, developed our research, and strengthened our key players in healthcare, space, defense, and large language models,” Macron said.

“We have a role to play because our nuclear energy is controllable, safe, stable, and decarbonized—ideal for expanding our AI computing capabilities. This €10 billion agreement with Fluidstack embodies my ambition. We must not slow down because the world is accelerating and the battle for innovation is happening now,” he added.

The project will also lead to the creation of many jobs in AI infrastructure, AI research, and high-performance computing, the company’s press release says.

‘It Changed Something in Me’: Trump’s Candid Admission About How Attempted Assassination Transformed His Belief in God

By Billy Hallowell  Editor 17 hours ago

President Donald Trump said an assassination attempt on his life drew him closer to God and that he believes people need faith to find true happiness.

Trump made his remarks at the 73rd annual National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, referring back to the July 13, 2024, campaign event in Butler, Pa., during which he was hit in the ear by a bullet.

Two spectators were also injured during the shooting, and Corey Comperatore, a dad, husband, and volunteer firefighter, was tragically killed.

“None of us knows exactly when our time on earth will be over,” Trump told those gathered at the prayer breakfast. “You never know — a truth I confronted a few short months ago when there was an incident that … was not fun.”

The president has frequently said he believes the Lord saved him that day.

He repeated this Thursday, explaining how people have told him it’s practically impossible he survived — an unlikely arc of events that happened when he turned his head slightly toward an immigration chart he was referencing during the campaign event.

“God was watching me,” Trump said, quipping, “immigration saved my life.”

Watch his remarks:

The president also inserted other quips during his remarks, noting the gunshot didn’t impact his oft-times referenced hairstyle.

“It didn’t affect my hair — can you believe it?” he said. “It might have touched it, but not where it counts.”

But the most noteworthy line of his speech came when he reflected on the impact of the assassination attempt on his heart and mind.

“It changed something in me,” he said. “I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.”

Trump continued, “But that event, like the tragedy last week, should remind us that we have to make the most out of every single day that we have.”

At the end of the speech, Trump also said he believes faith is essential for people to find true happiness.

“People of religion are going to be happy again, and I really believe you can’t be happy without religion — without that belief,” he said. “I just don’t see how you can. So, let’s bring religion back. Let’s bring God back to our lives.”

As CBN News previously reported, Trump also announced the creation of a task force to take on anti-Christian bias within the federal government.

Attorney General Pam Bondi will seek to immediately halt “all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government.”

Faith Under Siege: New Documentary Exposes Severe Persecution of Evangelical Christians by Russia

Chuck Holton  02-05-2025

A new documentary is shining a light on the growing persecution of evangelical Christians here in Ukraine, a crisis that remains largely unknown in the West. "A Faith Under Siege" takes viewers to the front lines, where pastors and missionaries are providing hope amidst the horrors of war.

The Russian war against Ukraine has inflicted devastating tolls, not only on soldiers but also on Christians who refuse to bow to Moscow's demands. The new documentary aims to expose the truth about religious persecution in Ukraine.

Executive producer Colby Barrett explained, "Right now there's so much propaganda out there around these kind of issues that we wanted to get right to the truth and talk to the people that had suffered under Russian occupation for their faith. And that's really the heart of the documentary."

"A Faith Under Siege" features firsthand accounts of pastors, aid workers, and believers who have been captured, tortured, or forced to flee because of their faith.

Barrett noted, "The folks that stayed in these war-torn areas to help and to minister to their folks and to others, to provide aid, were really doing some amazing stuff. And what you see when the Russians took over and found these evangelicals, they find them very threatening."

Russian propaganda often claims to uphold traditional values, but on the ground in Ukraine, evangelicals are targeted as threats to the Kremlin's control.

"Evangelicals especially are very loyal to our leader, Jesus, not so much political leaders... And so when they find evangelicals, and they are only loyal to God, that's disruptive," Barrett explained.

CBN News traveled to Ukraine to join former Green Beret Christian Hickey, who moved to Ukraine in 2022 as a missionary to soldiers fighting on the front lines.

***Please sign up for CBN Newsletters and download the CBN News app to ensure you receive the latest news updates from a Christian perspective.***

Hickey shared, "We've been bringing in thousands of audio Bibles to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. It's one of the best ways to get Scripture into their hands. They can listen while they're on the move, while they're taking shelter. And we know from experience that God's word never returns void."

The documentary isn't just about exposing Russian war crimes; it also serves as a call to action for Christians worldwide to pray and stand with their brothers and sisters in Ukraine.

"So the purpose of this movie isn't to make a bunch of money. We're going to be providing it for free. And what we're really relying on is that our American brothers and sisters, especially in the Christian community, latch onto this and want to host screenings and show it in their own communities," Barrett said.

The film is gaining exposure at the Museum of the Bible, and producers hope to shed light on the crisis and mobilize Christians.

Reporting on the ground has confirmed the claims made in the documentary that evangelical Christians in Ukraine are facing targeted persecution at the hands of Russian forces. Barrett concluded, "We pray for the Christians that are caught in this conflict, that they're able to serve as a model for our faith… as well as just an end to this war, a just end to this war."

When Israel moved 10,000 Gazans to Sinai—and terror attacks plummeted

In 1971, Israel relocated over 10,000 Gazans to northern Sinai under Ariel Sharon to curb terror attacks, which dropped sharply afterward; while some evacuees reported better housing, others struggled to adapt, and UNRWA protested the move as forced displacement

Yaron Drukman|Yesterday | 17:10

In the summer of 1971, amid a surge in terror attacks in Gaza, Israel relocated more than 10,000 residents from the Jabaliya and Al-Shati refugee camps to northern Sinai. The move, carried out under the command of then-IDF Southern Command chief Ariel Sharon, was aimed at curbing terrorism.

The number of attacks in Gaza fell from 445 in 1971 to just a few dozen the following year and remained low until the outbreak of the First Intifada in 1987.

The relocation followed a series of deadly attacks, including the murder of Mark, 7, and Abigail, 5, Aroyo who were murdered when terrorists threw a grenade into their family’s car near Gaza City. Their parents were injured. In response, Sharon launched an extensive counterterrorism operation, with support from Meir Dagan, then commander of an IDF counterterror force.

In July 1971, IDF forces entered the northern Gaza refugee camps, relocating about 10,500 residents to El-Arish in northern Sinai, with a few sent to the West Bank. Reports suggested the actual numbers were higher. At the time, Sinai was under Israeli control.

According to Ynet's sister publication Yedioth Ahronoth, some residents fled rather than accept housing in El-Arish, leaving behind their belongings. UNRWA employees protested the move and launched a strike. However, other reports indicated that many of those relocated were satisfied with their new homes.

Then-defense minister Moshe Dayan visited El-Arish in late July, where, according to a published report, evacuees "expressed satisfaction with the housing provided and the treatment they received from the military administration." Some also said that they were able to continue working.

The military administration offered jobs to those in need and attempted to help them resume their previous employment. The IDF supplied food and expressed hope that UNRWA would step in to assist.

Meanwhile, Dayan visited Jabaliya, where homes had been demolished to clear space for a planned security road. Israeli officials noted that there were no security incidents in the ten days following the relocations.

However, evacuees voiced complaints about unfair housing distribution, with smaller families receiving larger apartments than larger ones. Many also lamented being separated from relatives and struggling to integrate into El-Arish. Others reported water shortages in upper floors and difficulties adjusting to apartment living.

Months later, journalist Tzvia Cohen visited El-Arish. Her report said that evacuees had been given three options — relocation to the West Bank, another area in Gaza or El-Arish. Compensation was provided for lost property. "Every tree in the yard was included in the compensation," said Lt. Col. Shmuel Liran, then-IDF spokesman for Gaza and northern Sinai.

Mohammed Mustafa, a former photographer from Gaza, noted that his profession was not in demand in El-Arish, forcing him to seek work in Israel. "I now earn 17 liras a day working in a dairy, compared to 5–6 liras before," he said, adding that despite an improved standard of living, he still struggled to afford food and clothing.

One woman brought her two sick children to a clinic where treatment was free. The local medical team included 6–8 nurses, a lab technician, an administrator and a technician, while Israeli doctors worked in rotations.

Another evacuee, Wataha Hassan, lived in a two-room apartment with a balcony, kitchen and toilet. One room was empty except for a kerosene lamp and a light bulb. The other had mattresses stacked against the wall, a colorful tapestry, a family photo and a desk with books and notebooks.

"We have no stove or refrigerator," one woman said. "Or a washing machine," added 12-year-old Fatma, who did not recognize the camera held by photographer Micha Bar-Am. When the journalist asked about their black headscarves, the women responded in unison: "We wear black to mourn Palestine. When we win, we’ll wear white."

Hamas warns Trump's Gaza plan could 'blow everything up'

"Any such plan will be classified as a new occupation and met with appropriate resistance" and could derail ongoing ceasefire negotiations and trigger regional instability, a senior Hamas source threatened.

By Shachar Kleiman

Published on 02-05-2025 12:00 Last modified: 02-07-2025 16:48

Responding to US President Donald Trump's proposals regarding Palestinian refugee evacuation and Gaza control, a Hamas source in Gaza declared on Thursday that the terror organization would mount "strong verbal and physical resistance if Trump or even the Israeli right-wing government attempts to implement such a plan." He threatened that implementation could derail ongoing ceasefire negotiations and trigger regional instability.

Speaking to the Saudi newspaper A-Sharq Al-Awsat, the Hamas source warned that this plan would have "far-reaching consequences affecting all regional countries. The potential outcomes are unpredictable." He disclosed that while Hamas leadership had individually reviewed Trump's statements, no comprehensive discussions had yet been conducted.

Another senior Hamas official operating outside Gaza told the Saudi newspaper that the terror organization would interpret any evacuation attempts as an effort to "eliminate the Palestinian cause," triggering both operational and diplomatic responses. "The US administration must recognize that such actions would impact phases two and three of the ceasefire. The Trump administration should focus on pressuring Netanyahu's government to advance the existing agreement rather than introducing disruptive proposals that could derail everything."

The source noted that "While Hamas has become familiar with such declarations recently – these statements are taken seriously given their public nature on the world stage. These particular statements are notable for the unified Arab, Islamic, and international opposition they've generated." Hamas leadership believes Trump's plan "faces significant implementation challenges on the ground, relegating it to merely theoretical status."

"Attempts to displace Palestinians have persisted for decades without success – even under military pressure. Israel's failure in the Gaza war indicates that neither the right-wing government, the Trump administration's backers, nor any other force will succeed." He concluded by warning, "Any such plan will be classified as a new occupation and met with appropriate resistance and force."

'Radical Transparency' By DOGE Is Dismantling The Deep State Dollar By Dollar While The MSM And Dem Politicians Are Ironically Calling DOGE The 'Shadow Govt' For Exposing The Real Shadow Govt

By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline February 6, 2025

The news about USIAD and what Elon Musk's Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been exposing, from giving millions of taxpayer dollars to news outlets, including Politico, Associated Press, New York Times, and others, to USAID's and the CIA'S connection to the impeachment efforts against President Donald Trump during his first term, to providing funds to Wuhan's gain-of-function research, is all just the tip of the iceberg and until the full audits are done, we won't know how deep this rabbit hole goes.

The American people are finding out more about what USAID funded multiple times a day, and the media has been twisting themselves into knots trying to convince their readers and/or viewers that this level of transparency is a bad thing, dangerous, yet that same media has been getting millions from USAID.

Is it a coincidence that as most USAID payments were suspended, Politico missed payroll for the first time ever?

I think not, but what USAID treated as "humanitarian" aid, certainly deserves heavy scrutiny, which is exactly why DOGE was created and exactly what the group led by Elon Musk is doing.

Conservative pundit Scott Jennings told a very unhappy CNN panel that what we are witnessing is "radical transparency," and as usual he was spot on.

The fact that the MSM, and Democrat politicians are literally protesting, screeching, and deliberately trying to incite violence over what DOGE is doing, is a great indicator that more bombshells are going to drop soon.

Funding LGBT agendas in other countries, bioweapon research, working hand-in-hand with the CIA, paying out millions to media groups....not one of those actions are "humanitarian" in nature, and the American people are getting quite the wakeup call.

ANP EMERGENCY!! - With the passing of Stefan Stanford, ANP's financial situation has become dire. Without significant contributions, the future of All News PipeLine, and our ability to stay online, is in danger. Anything at all ANP readers can do to help us is hugely appreciated.)

Democrats favorite party line these days is that no one elected Elon Musk, yet he was on the campaign trail with President Trump for months, and the announcement of DOGE was long before the election, so yes, Americans did vote for this, and while Musk wasn't elected, he was appointed by the president of the United States to root out government waste.

Another party line of Democrats parroted by their allies in the media, is that DOGE is now the "shadow government," which is the height of irony since DOGE is literally exposing the true shadow government, funded in part by USAID, and as Musk and his team delve into other "slush fund" government agencies, there is no doubt we will see more dismantling of the deep state.

Palantir CEO and chief technology officer, Shyam Sankar, said in the fourth-quarter earnings webcast on Tuesday "Palantir's real competition is a lack of accountability in government, these forever software projects that cost an insane amount that don't actually deliver results. They're sacred cows of the deep state."

"And I think DOGE is going to bring meritocracy and transparency to government. And that's exactly what our commercial business is," he continued. "The commercial market is meritocratic and transparent, and you see the results that we have in that sort of environment. And that's the basis of our optimism around this."

In yet another sign that DOGE is on the right track, Hillary Clinton slithered out from under a rock to bitterly complain about DOGE personnel, to which Sean Duffy, Trump's Secretary of USDOT, responded "Madam Secretary, with all due respect, “experienced” Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling. You need to sit this one out."

While unconfirmed, there is chatter on the internet from Times Now, via MSN, that Clinton's daughter Chelsea Clinton received millions from USAID, which could be the reason Hillary Clinton is whining about this issue, if it proves to be true.

For those who have X, formerly known as Twitter, the @DOGE account is keeping a running tally of what monies are being cancelled and to who.

Just a few examples of what they are posting:

• Today, 78 contracts were terminated for convenience across DEI, Non-Performing, Media, and Consulting categories, including one for “groundwater exploration and assessment in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.” Approximately $110mm of total savings.

• Musk: NYT is government-funded media - 11 hours later, via @DOGE "Treasury leadership verified that their NYT contracts were cancelled today."

• Feb 5, an X user provided a screenshot showing NASA spent $500K on Politico subscriptions, and @DOGE responded "NASA leadership has verified that this was cancelled today."

• The Social Security Administration has terminated its contract for the “Gender X initiative marker” and removed all references to gender ideology from public facing applications. This saves > $1M and is in accordance with the President’s Executive Order.

• Today’s number has increased to 22 consulting contract terminations for a total savings of ~$45mm. All in today, 36 contracts were terminated for a total savings of ~$165mm across 6 agencies, including a DHS contract for “people and culture survey and climate support services.”

Those were just over the past couple of days.

Radical transparency indeed.

BOTTOM LINE.....

As Musk and his team at DOGE continue to dismantle the deep state, we can expect more bombshell reports of exactly what Americans' taxpayer dollars were funding.

Every American should be infuriated by what is being exposed.

Trump plan puts an end to the Palestinian state fantasy

Moving Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip may not happen, but at least, there will be a four-year respite from pressure to achieve the unachievable.

By Jonathan S. Tobin | Feb 9, 2025 at 3:00 pm | Topics: Gaza, Palestinian State

Everyone who claims to be an “expert” on the Middle East is sure about one thing: President Donald Trump’s proposal to move Palestinian Arabs out of Gaza either cannot or should not happen. Of course, the same experts said the same thing about the 2020 Abraham Accords that achieved normalization agreements between Israel and four Arab and Muslim-majority countries. They also predicted that Trump’s moving of the US embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would set off Armageddon (it did not).

So, when faced with a choice between an “impossible” Trump idea and conventional wisdom from the foreign-policy establishment, perhaps it might be smart for some of those “experts” to pump the brakes on their apocalyptic warnings.

Nevertheless, they might be right this time—and at first glance, it’s hard to see how Trump’s idea can be put into effect without massive use of US military force and equally massive expenditure of federal funds. And we already know that the administration has no intention of sending troops to Gaza or investing much, if any, money in the idea.

The end of the fantasy

Even if it doesn’t happen, Trump’s decision to champion the idea is enormously consequential. It decisively changes the conversation about the Middle East in a way that dwarfs the importance of even the most significant pro-Israel policy moves of his first term. Above all else, it means the end of the fantasy about the creation of a Palestinian state.

The international community, Arab and Muslim worlds, and the Palestinians themselves are outraged about the idea of a reconstruction plan for Gaza that would allow any people to leave the Strip. They are not appalled by it because they think it would be bad for Gaza civilians. Say what you like about Trump and his intentions or even those of Israelis and pro-Israel Americans who cheered his words, but it’s clear that it would be good for the Palestinian Arabs who have been stuck there to be given a fresh start somewhere else. And it would make it a lot more likely that the rebuilding of Gaza would not mean the reconstruction of Hamas terror fortifications and tunnels, as opposed to making it more livable or even developing its beachfront property.

It’s a nonstarter because all of these groups are still holding on to the idea that it must be preserved as a bastion of anti-Zionist irredentism. In their minds, Gaza’s only purpose is to serve, along with Judea and Samaria, and some of Jerusalem, as parts of an independent Palestinian state that they still believe must be set up next to Israel.

Nothing can be allowed to interfere with that failed idea. Not the Palestinians’ repeated rejection of two-state solutions dating back to the 1947 U.N. partition plan for the then-British Mandate for Palestine. Not their repeated refusals of peace plans or anything that might compel them to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state, no matter where its borders can be drawn. Not the clear intention of the genocidal Hamas terrorists who ran Gaza as an independent Palestinian state in all but name from 2007 until Oct. 6. 2023 to destroy the Jewish state and its people. And not the fact that the supposedly more moderate Palestinian Authority and Palestinian public opinion, in general, approve of Hamas and its goals, for which the barbaric atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023, were just the trailer.

Wishing away Palestinian intransigence

None of this prevented the international community, in addition to every American administration until Trump 2.0, from holding onto the belief that a Palestinian state was the way to end the conflict. A Palestinian state was an integral part of the first Trump administration’s “Peace Through Prosperity” Mideast plan, though it was appropriately far less generous than previous offers. And even after Oct. 7, former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who pretended that the last century of Palestinian Arab intransigence was meaningless and no reason to stop pushing for the same idea that had failed time and again.

The genius of Trump’s Gaza rebuilding proposal is not so much the simple logic of offering people the chance given to other refugee populations or anyone else in an area destroyed by war a new life elsewhere. And the key point is not wailing about its infeasibility or alleged violation of international law. Nor the fact that it is not in the interests of the United States or Israel to force the shaky regimes in Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians who are likely to want to overthrow those governments, and replace them with Hamas or allies like the Muslim Brotherhood.

The centerpiece of this project is its clear assumption that there will never be an independent Palestinian state in Gaza or elsewhere.

The PA may rule the internal affairs of Arabs in Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”). However, the corrupt kleptocracy that continues to subsidize terrorism through its “pay for slay” policy rewarding violent Palestinian terrorists, including those responsible for Oct. 7, has never shown any realistic interest in transitioning to a sovereign entity devoted to creating a peaceful and productive state alongside Israel.

Gaza has been a dagger pointed at Israel ever since it withdrew every soldier, settler and settlement from the Strip in the summer of 2005; two years later, PA rule (also run by its political party, Fatah) was toppled by Hamas in a bloody coup against its rivals.

Still, it remains an article of faith among the foreign-policy establishment that Israel must be compelled to facilitate the creation of a state—a state whose main purpose will serve, like Gaza under Hamas, as a springboard for Israel’s eventual destruction.

What Trump has done is to serve notice that the United States will no longer regard the facilitating of this destructive concept as a policy goal. On the contrary, he has made it clear that whatever else does or doesn’t happen in the coming years, a different solution has to be found for the Palestinians. The people who cheered the orgy of mass murder, rape, torture, kidnapping and wanton destruction on Oct. 7 will not be rewarded for this with more pressure on Jerusalem to do something the overwhelming majority of Israelis from right to left oppose as not so much unwise as suicidal.

The ‘nakba’ narrative

There are consequences for generations of intransigence that has hardened into a belief system inextricably linking Palestinian nationalism to unending war on the Jews. Trump is the first American president since the conflict began to explicitly state what those consequences must be.

Since the Jewish people regained sovereignty over their ancient homeland in 1948, the Palestinian Arabs and their foreign enablers held onto the nakba narrative, which holds the creation of modern-day Israel as the great “catastrophe” or “disaster” that must be reversed. Since the late 1980s, American policymakers have tried to split the difference between the two peoples by pushing for a two-state solution that would, in theory, make everyone happy. But that was just a form of denial about Palestinian intentions for Israel’s destruction that no proof of the folly of the idea could be allowed to disturb.

That’s why Trump’s idea is so painful. Contrary to Palestinian claims, it is not a repeat of the nakba, when Arabs fled the territory of the newborn State of Israel while an even greater number of Jews were forced to flee their homes in the Muslim and Arab world. It is recognition that the Palestinians must be compelled to give up their ambition to turn back the clock to 1948 or even 1917 (the date of Britain’s Balfour Declaration that declared that empire’s support for the idea of a Jewish National Home). And the only way to conclusively do that is to take away from them even the possibility of more Oct. 7-style attacks through which they hope to isolate and gradually wear down Israelis to the point where they will give up.

Chances for a state

The notion of a two-state solution died a long time ago.

Yet it could have easily been put into effect if only veteran terrorist and PA leader Yasser Arafat—newly off his title as chief of the Palestinian Liberation Organization with blood on his hands—had said “yes” to the offers of independence and statehood offered him by former President Bill Clinton and then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. But after Arafat answered that peace offer with the terrorist war of attrition known as the Second Intifada, most Israelis understood that the land for peace schemes they had been sold was nothing more than land for terror. The conversion of Gaza into a terror state and missile launching pad against Israeli civilians after 2005 only confirmed that unhappy truth.

Still, the Palestinians had more opportunities and much international support. Statehood could have happened when President George W. Bush and then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made an even sweeter offer to Arafat’s successor Mahmoud Abbas. And the opportunity for Palestinian statehood was always a theoretical possibility during the eight years of the presidency of Barack Obama, who did everything he could to tilt the diplomatic playing field in their direction.

But after Oct. 7 and the war that followed it, it’s safe to say that Palestinian statehood stopped being anything but a tired and meaningless policy concept that had outlived its sell-by date.

What lies ahead for the Palestinians or Gaza? It’s hard to say.

Trump pushed for a ceasefire/hostage release deal that could leave Hamas in power in Gaza. But his statements about the necessity for the removal of much, if not all, of the Palestinian population for the area to be rebuilt shows he doesn’t want that to happen. And as much as he would like for there to be no wars taking place on his watch, it seems unlikely that he would oppose further Israeli efforts to finish off Hamas—as Biden and Harris did—once it’s clear that the ceasefire will not force its disarming and eviction from power. The era of “daylight” between the United States and Israel is also over.

It’s entirely possible that the Palestinians in Gaza will insist on staying in the same state of limbo that they have chosen for themselves since 1948. They may continue waiting for Israel’s destruction so the descendants of the original refugees can go “home” to a country that never actually existed as a separate Palestinian Arab nation and never will. And it’s equally possible that with or without Hamas leadership, the political culture of the Palestinians is so twisted and intransigent that few will dare to take Trump up on his offer of the resettlement they’ve been denied for all these years for fear of being killed by Hamas operatives or their neighbors.

But there should be no doubt that despite the calumnies heaped upon Trump for having the temerity to discard foreign-policy conventional wisdom, this is the best offer the Palestinians will ever likely get.

There is no rational alternative

They may get the satisfaction of seeing Trump’s idea die for lack of support from anyone but Israel. But the alternative to the problem is for the Palestinian people to remain living in squalor, where they are only considered useful by their leaders, activists, university students and others who exploit the situation, as cannon fodder to wage war against the Jewish state.

What Trump has done is to consign the idea of Palestinian statehood to the ash heap of history, where it belongs. Along with his withdrawal from UNRWA—the UN refugee agency that has refused to resettle the Palestinians since 1948 and that helped perpetuate the war on Israel—and his recent defunding of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), whose “humanitarian” projects similarly helped prop up Palestinian intransigence, Trump has decisively shifted US policy away from fantasy to realism.

American support was always essential for Palestinian statehood. That is finished. His critics may decry this all they want, but the bitter truth they fail to acknowledge is that their alternatives to Trump’s Gaza idea are even more unrealistic and dangerous than his.

Trump’s Gaza Plan is “The Final task before Messiah”

Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz US-Israel Relations February 5, 2025 5 min read

During his first term in office, President Trump was a steadfast ally of Israel, acknowledging Jerusalem as its eternal capital by moving the embassy, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan, and instituting the Pompeo Doctrine, stating that Jews living in Judea and Samaria did not violate international law.

While many of his opponents tried to discount the Abraham Accords as a non-achievement, it stands as a foundation for peace and prosperity in the region. The agreement was achieved by discarding decades of unsuccessful policy based on the false premise that peace between Israel and any Arab state could only be achieved through the creation of a Palestinian state. The Biden administration rejected the success of the Abraham Accords and returned to a policy based on a horribly misnamed “Two-State Solution.” Biden’s policy of appeasing Iran was directly responsible for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the resulting multi-front war Israel is currently fighting.

Less than a month into his second term, the “Trump effect” results are already being felt in the region. After almost two years of negotiations by the Biden administration based on a strategy of pressuring Israel, Israeli hostages were still languishing in Gaza. The threat of a pro-Israel administration resulted in a ceasefire agreement that released some of the hostages.

But it is already clear that the best is yet to come. Netanyahu is currently in Washington as the first foreign leader hosted by Trump at the White House. And the news coming out of the Oval Office is stunning. Just a few weeks ago, Saudi Arabia threatened that they would not sign an agreement normalizing relations with Israel that did not include the creation of a Palestinian State. Trump announced on Wednesday that the Saudis had backed down and would consider an Abrahamic agreement with Israel. He also announced that the hostage release deal would be completed.

Perhaps the most stunning revelation was a typically straight-to-the-heart-of-the-matter solution to Gaza proposed by Trump. Much of the debate over Gaza has focused on the day after the war ends. While it is clear that Hamas cannot be allowed to rule Gaza, the Palestinian Authority has allied with Hamas. It has shown itself to be unstable and a promoter of violence. Anti-Israel elements from other countries object to a return to 2005 when Israel controlled the security in Gaza.

So Trump announced an entirely unexpected proposal on Tuesday:

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip,” Trump said at a joint press conference. “And we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it.”

“We will be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, [for] get[ting] rid of the destroyed buildings, level[ing] it out, [and] creat[ing] an economy development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing to the people of the area,” Trump said.

The president said the Palestinians “have no alternative” but to leave the “big pile of rubble” that is Gaza and voluntarily relocate to one or more countries “with humanitarian hearts.”

“[We’ve got to] do something different. You just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has been for 100 years,” he said, adding that other regional leaders backed his idea.

“It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have… lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there,” Trump said.

He described his vision in which the “world’s people” would settle in Gaza once the US finishes rebuilding it, and that while the Palestinians could be among them, the site on the Mediterranean will become an “international” hub.

“I don’t want to be cute. I don’t want to be a wise guy,” Trump said, adding that Gaza could become “the Riviera of the Middle East. This could be something that could be so magnificent.”

He admitted that US troops could be sent to the area “if necessary.”

While Palestinians prefer to advance a “victimhood narrative” that paints Gaza as an “open-air prison,” it is an idyllic locale on the Mediterranean Sea. Before the Jewish communities of Gush Katif were forcibly expelled in 2005, the region hosted a thriving agri-industry that exported more than $80,000 of produce every day.

When considering the future of Gaza concerning Israel, it is essential to understand its role in the Bible and prophecy. Gaza appears 18 times in the Hebrew Bible and is listed in Genesis 10:19 as being included in the southern border of the Promised Land. Gaza was, nonetheless, sporadically conquered and occupied by foreigners, including the Assyrians, Philistines, and Egyptians. It was, in fact, one of five Philistine cities on the coastal plain of Israel, remaining as one of the cities that Joshua failed to capture in his lifetime (Joshua 10:41).

Rabbi Yekutiel Fish, a respected mystic rabbi from Jerusalem who authors a Torah blog titled Sod HaChashmal, praised Trump’s plan and predicted that its success was inevitable.

“Trump is a successful man and puts together business deals that no one else could manage,” Rabbi Fish said. “For him, this is a deal that all sides benefit.”

But Rabbi Fish saw Trump’s Gaza plan as part of a bigger picture.

“Everyone is focused on Gaza, but that is only one part of the end-of-days agenda, which has the Jews living in Israel’s prophesied borders,” Rabbi Fish said. “The Torah explicitly includes Gaza. What Trump is doing is cleaning out Gaza of all the haters of Israel. They cannot be in Israel after the Messiah comes. After the Messiah, the only people who can be in the Biblical borders of Israel are those who believe He is One and His name is One. This will include Gaza, half of Lebanon, and much of Jordan.”

And we see that we are almost there. Syria fell. Lebanon is half gone. Gaza is ripped up. The stage is nearly set for Messiah. But how can the Palestinians be here when we go to greet the Messiah? The Messiah needs someone to take care of this, and in this case, it is Donald Trump. Trump is merely carrying out the final tasks needed before Messiah is revealed,” Rabbi Fish said.

Trump threatens ceasefire deal after seeing 'emaciated' Israeli hostages

Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami, and Eli Sharabi appeared on Saturday morning, looking very frail with sunken faces, leading to comparisons with those liberated from the Holocaust death camps.

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF, REUTERS

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 00:43 Updated: FEBRUARY 10, 2025 08:03

President Trump on Sunday said he was losing patience with the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after seeing footage of the Palestinian terror group releasing Israeli hostages over the weekend, whose appearance he compared to Holocaust survivors.

"They look like Holocaust survivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emaciated," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. "I don't know how much longer we can take that ... at some point we're going to lose our patience."

Trump's reaction to seeing images of the three hostages, who appeared gaunt upon their release on Saturday, brought fresh uncertainty over the deal's fate given 76 hostages remain in Gaza. It also came days after the president called for the removal of Palestinians from Gaza and for the US to take control of it.

"I know we have a deal ... they dribble in and keep dribbling in ... but they are in really bad shape," Trump said of the Israeli hostages.

Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami, and Eli Sharabi appeared on Saturday morning, looking very frail with sunken faces, and received many similar comments on both social media and from Israeli government officials.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) stated that "the shocking images that we have seen today will not go unaddressed."

President Isaac Herzog added, "This is what a crime against humanity looks like!"

The Coordinator for the Hostages and the Missing, Brig.-Gen. (Res.) Gal Hirsch stated that Israel views Hamas' "repeated violations" with "grave concern" and the condition of the hostages "with even greater concern," adding that "this will not go unaddressed" in a statement posted on PMO's official X/Twitter account.

Sa'ar's statements

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar commented that the "entire international community has danced to the tune of the false propaganda of so-called ‘starvation’ in Gaza." comparing criticism of Israel's humanitarian aid levels to the treatment of Israeli hostages by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists.

"The images don't lie," Sa'ar added, explicitly stating that Levy, Ben Ami, and Sharabi looked like "Holocaust survivors" and "are the only ones...who clearly appear to have suffered from starvation."

Is ATF Using AI-Powered Facial Recognition To ID Gun Owners?

by Tyler Durden

Authored...

Submitted by Gun Owners of America,

Several reports now indicate that ATF has access to and utilizes facial recognition technology to identify gun owners. In fact, two Government Accountability Office reports confirm that ATF does have access to various facial recognition systems, including Clearview AI, Vigilant Solutions, and other systems owned by other federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement agencies.

The Government Accountability Office described the Clearview AI database as:

"A web-based facial recognition service using 30+ billion facial images sourced from publicly available websites, including news media, mugshot, and social media websites, among others."

A 2021 GAO report found that ATF did not have sufficient accountability mechanisms "to track what non-federal systems with facial recognition technology are used by employees."

According to testimony given to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, ATF:

"Initially used these services without requiring their staff to take training on topics such as how the technology works, what photos are appropriate to use, and how to interpret the results."

GAO scolded federal agencies, stating that they "must consider the potential impact of its use on civil rights and civil liberties because the potential for error and the potential to misidentify someone could lead to the arrest and prosecution of an innocent person."

GAO was also concerned that government use of facial recognition technology can have "a chilling effect on an individual's exercise of their First Amendment rights."

Similarly, ATF's use of Facial Recognition Technology could have a chilling effect on the People's exercise of their Second Amendment rights.

According to GAO, ATF is reported to have conducted at least 549 facial recognition searches on gun owners between October 2019 and March 2022.

GAO indicates that "as of April 2023, ATF… reported that they had halted their use of such services."

However, the most recent reports suggest otherwise.

On July 21, 2024, Senator Ron Johnson released a report detailing the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, PA. In the report, it is revealed that:

"Photos… were sent to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) for facial recognition… The ATF was apparently requesting the photos… for facial recognition purposes. It is unclear… why ATF would be the agency responsible for conducting facial recognition."

We agree. It is unclear why ATF, the agency tasked with enforcing federal alcohol, tobacco, and firearms laws, should have access to a facial recognition system in the first place.

New Jersey Police Used Clearview AI to Identify Gun Owners

In New Jersey (a state with a firearm purchaser database, handgun registration, and universal registration checks) the government utilized Clearview AI to identify whether suspects owned guns prior to arrest.

In an interview, Attorney General Grewal said that:

"The Clearview app was used to get the name of the individual... we wanted to find out, does this person have firearms?"

Ultimately, the Attorney General ordered all New Jersey police to cease using the software because it was "racist and inaccurate."

ATF Could Use Facial Recognition Software in Conjunction with National Gun Registry

In recent years, ATF has admitted to Congress that it possesses nearly one billion gun and gun owner records. A 2022 report by Gun Owners of America details that this registry is both digital and searchable.

By ATF's own admission this registry is "not searchable by name" because "ATF is the only agency that pays Adobe" to disable search functionality of ATF's PDF gun registry.

However, ATF could simply re-enable the functionality to search its digital registry by name.

Additionally, Senate appropriators are already advocating for "Law Enforcement Advanced Analytics" funding "to implement software using advanced analytics to correlate open source, commercial, and native agency data."

Translation: the gun control lobby wants to fund facial recognition technology for agencies like ATF, to monitor law-abiding citizens.

Apparently, ATF is "increasingly relying on the analysis of huge volumes of information, including open-source information" during its enforcement of gun control on the American people.

It seems as if ATF is preparing to use Clearview AI in conjunction with its illegal gun registry to identify gun owners and what firearms they own—just like the New Jersey police have already done.

And clearly, there are questions remaining as to the extent of ATF's facial recognition technology usage.

With anti-gun politicians in Congress attempting to pass legislation that removes restrictions on ATF, like the AIM Act, the stage is set for ATF to have a registry of guns and gun owners, with their facial data as well.

Gun Owners of America will fight this overreach tooth and nail in both Congress and in the courts. ATF can never be allowed to maintain a registry of guns, or gun owners. As the saying goes, registration always precedes confiscation.

DOGE Team Finds FEMA Sent $59 Million Last Week To Luxury NYC Hotels For Illegals

by Tyler Durden

Authored...

Elon Musk's team of mid-20s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) disruptors has once again found wasteful spending—this time focusing on a $59 million payment sent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to luxury hotels across New York City housing illegal aliens.

"The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants," Musk wrote on X early Monday morning.

Musk explained, "Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order," adding, "That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!"

Musk did not specify which luxury NYC hotels received FEMA funding for migrants last week but noted that a "clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds."

The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.

That money is meant for American disaster relief…

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 10, 2025

However, a December report revealed that NYC politicians spent $220 million in a sweetheart deal with Pakistan to lease the prestigious Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan for illegal alien housing. The most alarming issue was that NYC paid a foreign government to house illegals.

"So let me get this straight; places like North Carolina and Maui get a pittance because FEMA says they lack funds, so we have to send our Military there to do work that could be put into the local economies. Meanwhile FEMA blows its budget on housing illegal immigrants?" one X user wrote in response to Musk's report.

While illegals have lived 'the American Dream' on the taxpayers' dime, residents across Western North Carolina have only now begun receiving FEMA assistance amid the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene.

Many of these folks in North Carolina had limited to no FEMA assistance under the Biden-Harris regime. That all changed after President Trump entered the White House on January 20.

DOGE cancels more than $180 million in contracts from Health and Human Services including $170,000 for Fauci museum exhibit

By MELISSA KOENIG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 23:37 EST, 9 February 2025 | Updated: 01:20 EST, 10 February 2025

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has canceled more than $180million in contracts from the Department of Health and Human Services - including nearly $170,000 allocated for a museum exhibit on Dr Anthony Fauci.

DOGE announced on social media Friday that it canceled 62 contracts at HHS over the course of 48 hours.

'These contacts were entirely for administrative expenses - none touched any healthcare programs,' DOGE wrote.

'This included terminating a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit at the NIH museum.'

It also included a screenshot of the funds allocated for the Fauci exhibit, showing the money was meant to be spent between July 2024 and July 2025.

Details about the planned exhibit were scarce, but it would likely focus on Fauci's long career in the federal government, which began in the National Institutes of Health in 1968 and ended with him advising Presidents Trump and Biden during the COVID pandemic.

But Fauci's legacy was marred by the unpopular COVID restrictions he helped implement, including social distancing, mask wearing and harsh vaccine mandates that led to members of the armed forces being forcibly discharged.

He was also accused of lying to Congress about the U.S. sending money to fund gain-of-function research at the laboratory in Wuhan, China, where the virus is thought to have originated and leaked from.

Fauci had testified at a May 2021 Senate hearing that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases had 'not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'

But emails showed that in February 2020 Fauci, NIH head Dr. Francis Collins, and Dr. Peter Daszak, head of the company that dispersed grants to the WIV, EcoHealth alliance acknowledged that scientists at Wuhan University were working on gain-of-function experiments to study bat viruses adapting to human infection prior to the outbreak in Wuhan.

In one email, Fauci even admitted he had concerns that COVID might have been genetically engineered and that these were worsened by the fact that gain-of-function research was taking place in Wuhan before the pandemic.

Faui later claimed that he was using a different definition of GOF during his Senate hearing.

Yet the NIH's own definition of gain-of-function notes that the research could be used 'to enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility of potential pandemic pathogens.'

A meticulous 520-page report by the the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic also concluded that 'Dr. Fauci’s testimony was, at a minimum, misleading.'

If the Department of Justice did decide to pursue criminal charges against Fauci, prosecutors would have had to prove that the doctor made a false statement and knew it was false.

They would have also had to prove that Fauci intended to deceive the Congress members he testified in front of, rather than making an innocent mistake.

But in the moments before he left office, President Joe Biden pardoned Fauci for any crimes dating all the way back to 2014.

In the aftermath, Trump terminated Fauci's taxpayer-funded security detail.

'No, I think you know, when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off, and you know, you can't have them forever,' the president said at the time.

'So I think it's very standard. If it was for somebody else you wouldn't be asking the question,' Trump added.

The move to defund a museum exhibit honoring the doctor came just days after Musk's team at DOGE were seen at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they received access to key payment and contracting systems.

CMS, a part of the Department of Health and Human Service, is a major distributor of healthcare payments.

The center sent out about $1.5 trillion in fiscal 2024.

With around 6,710 employees, it oversees Medicare, the health coverage program for older and disabled Americans, and Medicaid, for lower-income people.

'Yeah, this is where the big money fraud is happening,' Musk wrote last week.

But Musk's group has been causing controversy with many Democrats protesting the cuts to government and the layoff of federal workers.

Unions have even started filing lawsuits.

Democrats have questioned if Musk has any oversight, but Trump said the billionaire owner of X is only acting with his approval. He added that his administration is keeping the SpaceX founder, who has billions in federal contracts, from interfering in any area where there is a conflict of interest.

'Elon will not do anything without our approval and we will give him the approval where appropriate,' he said in the Oval Office last week.

'If there is a conflict, we won't let him get near it. He has a team of talented people. We are trying to shrink government. Where we think there is a conflict or a problem, we won't let him go near it,' he added.

Top Cartel Hitman Caught at Canadian Border

by Dan Lyman

February 9th, 2025 1:05 AM

"Leader of hitmen with the Gulf Cartel" latest significant Border Patrol arrest in Michigan this month

U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents caught a top cartel operative at the northern border in the latest significant arrest of a criminal illegal alien in Michigan.

On Saturday, USBP Detroit Sector Chief John R. Morris announced the recent apprehension of Melquiades Salgado-Garza in Gibraltar, a small city on the Detroit River directly across from Ontario.

Agents from Gibraltar station assisted local authorities in arresting Salgado-Garza, a “leader of hitmen with the Gulf cartel,” according to Chief Morris.

“Salgado’s criminal history includes felony charges for burglary, forgery and immigration.”

The Gulf Cartel is a powerful international criminal network founded in Mexico and considered one of the oldest in the country.

Last weekend, USBP agents captured a Tren de Aragua gangbanger who was in the process of committing a crime on Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula.

The Venezuelan illegal was “attempting to retrieve a previously seized vehicle” in Sault Ste. Marie at the time of his apprehension, USBP Chief Mike Banks explained.

Days later, a Special Interest Alien from Uzbekistan was caught by USBP agents from Sault Ste. Marie Station.

A Special Interest Alien potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Weather Modification? Massive Blizzard Strikes Japan, Record-Breaking 4 Feet of Snow Falls in 12 Hours

by Adan Salazar February 4th, 2025 6:47 PM

An unprecedented blizzard struck Japan Tuesday, smashing records and prompting wide-scale disruptions as many compared it to the recent snowfall bizarrely seen in Southern US states.

The town of Obihiro, located in the Tokachi region of Japan’s Hokkaido island, reported receiving 1.2 meters (four feet) of snow on Tuesday, breaking previous records by nearly tripling the amount of snow the region typically receives, according to weather researcher @In2ThinAir.

Footage out of the area showed cars and roads inundated with heavy snow, as citizens attempted to shovel and help fellow motorists move stuck vehicles.

Other video shows an airport runway and planes completely buried by heavy snow, which caused closures and delays.

The Independent reports: “The Japan Meteorological Agency said two powerful low pressure systems are moving on both sides of the Japanese archipelago, sending cold air into the region.”

The strange weather comes as the United States just two weeks ago endured plunging temps and a polar vortex that covered southern states, like Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, in snow, an uncommon sight some dubbed a “once in a lifetime” event.

“Weather Modification ISN’T just happening in the UNITED STATES & the United Kingdom!” commented @In2ThinAir, with other X users supporting the theory.

If not government weather manipulation, what could be behind these freak weather phenomena that have completely shattered the left’s “global warming” myth?

Defense Secretary Hegseth to Netanyahu: Destroying Hamas, Hezbollah is 'very important' to us

'Destroying the capabilities of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon is very important to us. You have a long memory, and so do we,' Hegseth said.

By AMICHAI STEIN

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 22:53 Updated: FEBRUARY 6, 2025 03:00

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening that the United States regards destroying the capabilities of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon as "very important."

"We welcome the elimination of the person responsible for killing marines in Lebanon. We released ammunition that had been delayed for a long time," he added.

Hegseth noted, "Regarding Gaza, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. Therefore, other solutions are needed. Here at the Pentagon, we are prepared for all kinds of plans."

Additionally, Hegseth said that the United States is "prepared to consider all options" when asked about the possibility of deploying forces to Gaza.

Netanyahu in Washington

Netanyahu arrived in DC on Sunday and is set to return to Israel on Saturday.

His visit marks the first foreign leader to be invited to the White House in Trump's second administration.

Additionally, this visit marks Netanyahu’s 14th stay at Blair House, more than any foreign leader since it was built in the 19th century.

After the destruction and the clashes, Hezbollah supporters 'quietly' return to southern Lebanon

After clashes with the IDF, Lebanon appears to have gotten the message, and now the residents of the southern villages are returning to their destroyed homes calmly and without provocation; Despite attempts to present a "victory", Hezbollah brought destruction to the residents; A Lebanese woman recorded herself returning to the ruins, with crying heard in the background

Lior Ben Ari|Yesterday | 17:51

This is the second week that residents of southern Lebanon have been returning to their villages on the border, after months of being displaced by fighting. With the end of the first 60 days of the cease-fire, the return was initially accompanied by chaos, provocations and clashes with IDF forces, during which 24 Lebanese citizens were killed and 134 were wounded by gunfire, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. But now it seems that Lebanon has gotten the message, and in the past week things have looked different.

The Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar reported Tuesday that the return of Lebanese civilians to villages in the south of the country last Sunday as part of what was they called the "second Sunday of return," passed peacefully, without clashes or deaths, unlike the previous week. This is reportedly due to an implicit agreement between Hezbollah, the Amal movement in Lebanon, and the municipalities in southern Lebanon to control the demonstrators in order to prevent bloodshed. Sources also told the newspaper that UNIFIL conveyed Israeli threats to the Lebanese, who wanted to avoid a repeat of the prior week's violent events.

Lebanon closely monitors all IDF movements in the south of the country and consistently reports that it is still operating there, blowing up houses and flying drones in the country's skies. Al-Akhbar and the Al-Manar channel, which is also affiliated with Hezbollah, presented maps of the "liberated" border villages to which the residents have returned and of the villages where the IDF is still operating.

Although Hezbollah boasts about the return of residents of southern Lebanon, including its activists and supporters, and assures that the organization is still strong, the villages of the south have been completely destroyed. Despite attempts in Lebanon to present an image of "victory" in documenting the return, Hezbollah brought destruction and devastation to the south of the country, destroying the villages it used as weapons depots, and operating and firing at Israel from those populated areas. Hezbollah also operated in other areas of Lebanon, such as Al-Baqa'a in the interior of the country and the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut, but the villages of the south were the main arena of fighting throughout the months of the war.

The destruction and devastation in the area are visible every day in footage posted on social media. Alongside the residents' joy at their return, and the Hezbollah flags hoisted alongside pictures of the eliminated operatives, what can mainly be seen is the rubble. Residents of Al-Khaiam, north of Metula, for example, described in a video how they were organized in the field alongside a burning fire and food, but everything around them appears to be destroyed, and the Hezbollah flags placed on the rubble sharpen the question of who is to blame.

One of the residents who returned to Al-Dahira in southern Lebanon photographed the ruins of the village, while walking among the fragments of collapsed houses, and said: "Be careful where you step," as the sounds of residents crying can be heard in the background.

Hezbollah suffered significant damage during the war. Its warehouses, infrastructure and weapons were destroyed, its top leadership was eliminated, smuggling routes from Syria were blocked, especially after the overthrow of the Assad regime, and it appears that the organization is in need of extensive reconstruction – both internal and external.

The Shiite terrorist organization also needs a lot of financial resources for the assistance it provides to the affected families. Behind the cries of joy of the residents of southern Lebanon these days and the entry into the villages together with the local army, lies great distress. Along with this, it is important to remember that the organization and its surroundings make it clear that they will rebuild everything on the border, and that they have not abandoned their path.

The Mainstream Media Will Never Recover From These Shocking Revelations About The Associated Press, The New York Times And Politico

February 5, 2025 by Michael

A free and independent press is absolutely essential. In fact, Thomas Jefferson once warned that “our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” Sadly, we have just learned that some of our most prominent media outlets have been receiving enormous amounts of money from the government. The New York Times, Politico and the Associated Press were being absolutely showered with money during the Biden administration, and it is no coincidence that their coverage of the Biden administration was extremely favorable. This is a scandal of epic proportions, and there is no way that these media outlets will ever recover from this because their credibility is totally gone.

What has been happening at Politico is particularly egregious.

It is supposed to be an independent media entity, but it has been receiving millions of our tax dollars.

In fact, it has received more than 8 million dollars from USAID alone.

But that money from USAID is just the tip of the iceberg.

Overall, Politico has received more than 34 million dollars from the federal government.

That is a tremendous amount of money.

Politico has a subscription option called Politico Pro, and it costs about 10 grand per year.

For some reason, a whole bunch of government agencies were shelling out giant piles of money for such ridiculously-priced subscriptions.

The Biden administration was certainly very good to Politico.

Are we supposed to believe that it was just a “coincidence” that Politico was also very good to the Biden administration?

The following quote from Sean Davis really hit home with me…

It was Politico that maneuvered to have the Hunter laptop story banned and everyone discussing it censored.

Politico peddled the illegal Supreme Court leak that led to the near-assassination of multiple Supreme Court justices.

And now we find out the regime was funneling tens of millions of dollars of our money to Politico?

This is rampant corruption.

Thankfully, the DOGE team is working on ending all payments to Politico right now…

Karoline Leavitt speaks out on USAID spending millions of taxpayer dollars being spent on Politico subscriptions.

“The DOGE team is working on canceling those payments now.”

Interestingly, staffers at Politico “did not get paid for the latest pay period”…

Staff at Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying it believes there was a technical error, and is looking into how to fix the issue.

Could it be possible that their staff did not get paid because the gravy train from the federal government is drying up?

Of course Politico is not the only media outlet that has been getting showered with cash.

It turns out that the “independent” Associated Press has also been raking in millions of dollars.

How can any organization that has hauled in 19.5 million dollars from the federal government possibly claim to be free and independent?

Someone really needs to ask the Associated Press that question.

But at least the Associated Press has not been as big of an offender as the New York Times has.

The most important newspaper in the United States has received “tens of millions of dollars over just the past 5 years”.

The New York Times is a complete and utter disgrace.

I am sorry if this offends you, but it is the truth.

Reporters for the New York Times pretend to be “journalists”, but ultimately they are just propaganda mouthpieces.

It may not surprise you to learn that Reuters is also corrupt.

In fact, it has just come out that they were awarded a very large government contract for “Active Social Engineering Defense” and “Large Scale Social Deception”.

If you can believe it, Reuters was paid more than 9 million dollars under this single contract.

There is no excuse for any of this.

The good news is that many of these legacy media companies were headed for extinction anyway.

For example, we are being told that “the future of CNN looks grim”…

The future of CNN looks grim as experts say the liberal network is ‘in decline’ after staffers faced pay cuts and a round of layoffs.

Jeff McCall, a communications professor at Indiana’s Depauw University, told the Los Angeles Times that the network’s layoffs are not a good look for CNN.

‘Right now, you think of their brand as in decline. The layoffs; that’s a problem. And it looks really bad when you lose libel suits,’ McCall said.

Because these legacy media companies have lost so much credibility, more people than ever are seeking out alternative sources of information. I am honored to be a part of the alternative media ecosystem, but unlike legacy media outlets I do not receive any money from the government. I am able to keep my work alive by offering books and subscriptions to my newsletter.

Thomas Jefferson clearly understood that “our liberty depends on the freedom of the press”, and the vast majority of our legacy media outlets are no longer free or independent.

So it is up to the alternative media to uncover the truth and keep our leaders accountable, and with your help that is what we will continue to do.

USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier Off Mexico Coast - Opposite Sinaloa State

The USS Nimitz is presently off the coast of Mexico, directly opposite the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where the "Chapitos" Drug Cartel is based.

HMMMMMM. First a "Rivet Joint" military surveillance aircraft transited the air space just off Sinaloa (Story HERE), now an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is near the same place.

Maybe the Drug drug cartels being designated as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" means something none of them ever encountered before?

Argentina Announces Withdrawal From WHO Over COVID Lockdown ‘Economic Catastrophe’

President Javier Milei said that COVID-19 lockdowns promoted by the agency could be ‘classified as a crime against humanity.’

The Argentine government has announced its decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the “catastrophic” economic impact of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

In a statement shared on social media platform X on Feb. 5, the office of Argentine President Javier Milei stated that the COVID-19 lockdowns were one of the greatest economic catastrophes in world history, citing the severe and lasting impact on global economies as Argentina’s primary reason for pulling out.

“The WHO was established in 1948 to coordinate global health emergency responses, but it failed its most significant test: it promoted indefinite quarantines without scientific backing during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement reads in English translation.

“These quarantines caused one of the largest economic catastrophes in world history.”

According to the statement, under the 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, such lockdown policies could be classified as “a crime against humanity.”

Milei’s office stated that in Argentina, the WHO responded to a government that “kept children out of school, left hundreds of thousands of workers without income, caused businesses and [small and medium-sized enterprises] to go bankrupt, and, despite all of this, led to the loss of 130,000 lives.”

supranational organizations—funded by all—that fail to fulfill the purposes for which they were created, engage in political maneuvering, and attempt to impose their will on member states,” Milei’s office stated.

Anarcho-Capitalist

“President Milei instructed Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein to withdraw Argentina’s participation in the World Health Organization,” presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said at a Feb. 5 news conference.

Milei, a self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist, was inaugurated as Argentina’s president in 2023 after defeating Sergio Massa, economy minister for Alberto Fernández’s socialist administration.

In a September 2024 speech at the United Nations, Milei took aim at the 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals, a global initiative for sustainable economic growth and environmental protection.

He said that although the program is “well-intentioned in its goals,” it is “nothing more than a supranational government program with a socialist slant.”

“If the 2030 agenda failed, as its own promoters acknowledge, the answer should be to ask ourselves if it was not an ill-conceived program to begin with,” Milei said.

Trump’s Similar Move

On Jan. 20, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States, the WHO’s top donor, would pull out of the organization.

He said the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

Negotiations with the group about a pandemic agreement and the International Health Regulations would be suspended while the withdrawal is taking place, Trump said.

He said the WHO had failed to act independently from the “inappropriate political influence of WHO member states” and required “unfairly onerous payments” from the United States that were disproportionate to the sums provided by other, larger countries, such as China.

“World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore,” Trump said.

WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said in response, “We hope that the United States will reconsider, and we really hope that there will be constructive dialogue for the benefit of everyone, for Americans but also for people around the world.”

The United States is currently the largest WHO funder, contributing about $1.28 billion during 2022–2023, the last year reported on the organization’s website. That equates to almost half of the WHO’s joint external evaluation missions for the last fiscal year.

WHO’s Reaction to China’s COVID Cover-Up

This is Trump’s second attempt to withdraw from the WHO. The president began the process in 2020 because of frustration over the WHO’s reaction to China’s cover-up of details surrounding the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at the start of what became the COVID-19 pandemic.

The House Oversight and Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a report in December 2024 on the WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, calling it “an abject failure.”

According to the report, the WHO bent to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed “China’s political interests ahead of its international duties.”

As part of the alleged failure, the WHO reportedly ignored warnings by Taiwan on Dec. 31, 2019, about “atypical pneumonia cases” in Wuhan, which it asked the WHO to investigate.

“The initial mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic not only potentially caused the further spread of the virus, but it created a situation where people lost trust in the global public health organization,” the report stated.

A WHO spokesman told The Epoch Times: “Thanks for your query. We are looking into it.”

Reuters, Savannah Hulsey Pointer, Aldgra Fredly, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Trump the 'disrupter' moves with blinding speed to remake the governmental system that has dominated for decades

Leo Hohmann Feb 05, 2025

Where is this all heading? Will closing the Department of Ed, USAID, and other agencies actually lead to less government intrusion in our lives? Or will they be replaced by something more intrusive?

The billionaire globalist technocrat Bill Gates is reportedly in panic mode, making the rounds in the corporate media to push back against Elon Musk’s latest cost-cutting move, folding USAID into the U.S. State Department.

As reported by Disswire.com and others, the shake-up would give Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversight of the agency, a scenario that could put an end to USAID’s lucrative funding pipeline for Gates’ pet projects.

Appearing on NBC’s Today Show, Gates insisted that USAID’s work is not at all politically motivated.

“Elon doesn’t understand the importance of USAID’s mission,” he said. “It’s about global development, not politics.”

Truth is, USAID was a front for the CIA’s disruptive work around the globe, funding bio-pharma “research” labs, LGBTQ propaganda, abortion and all of the worst things Western culture has to offer.

Gates then appeared on The View, where he doubled down on his defense of the federal agency.

While Gates may be concerned that he is going to lose some government funding, he can make it up elsewhere, no problem. And Gates’ Microsoft AI juggernaut is already listed as one of the beneficiaries of Trump’s Stargate project. Nor is Gates worried about being “arrested,” as indicated by the Disswire article.

Gates, contrary to what many conservatives believe, is not on the outside looking in. As a billionaire technocrat, Gates is already part of the “in” crowd with this White House. He requested a meeting with the new president a few weeks ago and he got what he wanted, three and a half hours with Trump. His AI partner, Sam Altman of ChatGPT, then surfaced as one of Trump’s main partners in Stargate.

Trump, if we’ve learned anything from his first two weeks in office, is attracted to technocrats and billionaires.

Trump, like his biggest billionaire technocrat backer, Peter Thiel, prides himself in being a “disrupter.” While some amount of disruption is needed in a country as wayward as the United States, too much disruption delivered too quickly will simply plunge the nation into chaos. And chaos can then be exploited by the very globalists Trump says he is against.

While I fully support the idea of reducing the government’s bloated footprint on our lives, we’d better be careful what we wish for. Will whole government agencies be shuttered, not to reduce the size and scope of government authority, but to replace that authority with a more efficient AI?

Who needs 2 million federal employees if AI is on the cusp of taking over their duties anyway? A government run by algorithm could be so terrifying that we will one day wish we could bring back those old inefficient bureaucrats.

Some of Trump’s policies also fly in the face of his campaign promises and appear more globalist than “America first.”

For example, Trump came out this week and said he will continue U.S. funding of the war in Ukraine as long as the U.S. can lay claim to Ukraine’s rare-earth minerals. So, the same bloody war he said on the campaign trail he would end within the first 24 hours of his presidency, he now wants to keep going, under the condition that the U.S. gets to take a spoil.

Also, Trump’s announcement with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu last night regarding the U.S. “taking over” Gaza. “We’ll own it,” Trump said.

This Gaza deal strikes me as a grave mistake. The art of the deal is sounding more like the art of destruction when you consider that any redevelopment project in Gaza must start with a military project. How else are you going to forcibly remove all the Palestinians, level the buildings and de-mine the land? This goes flatly against Trump’s long-stated policy of focusing on “America first.” Why spend years working to redevelop a war-torn strip of real estate overseas when we have places in America that look almost as downtrodden and desperate? Gaza was wrecked by kinetic war, bombs falling out of the sky. After decades of economic war waged by Americans against Americans, we have ghost towns throughout the American South and Midwest that have been hollowed out by disastrous NAFTA-type trade deals — deals that outsourced our jobs to Mexico, China, Vietnam, etc., leaving behind empty shells of industrial structures that dot the landscape like the decaying bones of a once-healthy person.

I predicted that 2025 would be a year of chaos and confusion but even I am having my mind blown by the pace of the news cycle these last two weeks.

Will Trump deliver just the right amount of disruption to fix our sick and dying republic? Do we just need to “trust the plan?” Or, will he go overboard, overstep the constitutional boundaries set for his office and be used to drive an already divided nation into the realm of chaos, with civil and economic upheaval? I’d like to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Delta and Japan Airlines planes collide at Seattle Airport

By RACHEL BOWMAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 14:32 EST, 5 February 2025 | Updated: 16:48 EST, 5 February 2025

A Japan Airlines jet sliced the tail of a Delta plane during a frightening collision at Seattle Airport on Wednesday morning.

The taxiing Japan Airlines plane that arrived from Tokyo struck the tail of a parked Delta plane at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at 10:17am. Both aircraft were filled with passengers.

Terrified passengers, who were located between S Concourse and the south maintenance hangars, were astonished to see the wing embedded into the tail from outside their windows.

No injuries were reported and there was minimal impact to airport operations. Images online showed the Japan Airlines wing cut right through the Delta tail.

'So, we were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac and another plane ran into us, just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary,' one witness said on X.

There were 142 customers on the Delta flight from Seattle to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The company said they are working to get passengers on a new aircraft.

'While in sequence for deicing, the tail of a Delta 737 aircraft reportedly made contact with a wing tip of another airline's aircraft,' a Delta spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

'There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels.' and the news story continues......

U.S.A.I.D. Spent $70 BILLION Funding Abortions and Gender Ideology Globally; Even Routed Money to "Church of Satan" in NYC

Hal Turner Nation February 05, 2025 Hits: 11958

The horrors being exposed by the ongoing audit of the United States Agency for International Development (USAIDS) have become stomach-churning. $70 Billion for Abortions and Gender Ideology . . . . routed Grants to "The Church of Satan."

$70 billion? Even if one was "pro abortion" why would they want their tax payer dollars to be sent overseas for this?

Or how about your tax money being used to support this freakish behavior in Pakistan:

To put just this particular category of spending by USAID into perspective, at present, the United States of America has about 15,000 highway bridges that are assessed as being in "dangerous" disrepair.

Just a small fraction of the money sent overseas by USAID to fund garbage like this, could have REPLACED each and every one of our own highway bridges. ALL OF THEM!

It gets worse.

Additional reporting which will come out within hours, will show that USAID even routed grant money to: "The Church of Satan" in New York City. Here is their official EIN info from inside USAID computer records:

This is just a small example of what the human filth in the Democrat Party has been doing with your money. MUCH MORE, coming later today.

BREAKING NEWS: NEW YORK TIMES . . . . IS GOVERNMENT-FUNDED MEDIA!

Hal Turner Nation February 05, 2025 Hits: 12984

The New York Times, America's so-called "newspaper of record," turns out to be nothing more than a Taxpayer-funded, government mouthpiece. To the tune of $50 MILLION since the year 2021.

Federal records show the U.S. government has sent The New York Times over $50 million since 2021—despite much lower payments in previous years.

The biggest spender? The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at $26.9M, followed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) at $19.15M.

Even NASA, the Pentagon, and the DOJ chipped in.

One of the largest single checks was $4.1M in August 2024.

What exactly is all this taxpayer money paying for?

Hal Turner Opinion

Does this mean that the New York Times can now be called "Fake News?"

Think for a moment about all the effete snobs who boast about being on the cutting edge by reading "The Times." You can almost hear them in their snobby voices saying "Oh, I read in The Times that . . . ." or "You may think such and such, but The Times says . . . ."

Now it starting to look like all those snobs who thought they were on the cutting edge, were actually just being spoon fed the government line!

Oh man, you gotta love this. You can't even make-stuff-up that's this good!

Drug gangs in Ecuador turn to "death saint" for protection — and allegedly human sacrifices

Updated on: February 5, 2025 / 6:31 AM EST / CBS/AFP

Sporting gloves and a red ribbon to ward off evil, Ecuadoran police raiding a drug den apprehensively inspect an altar to Santa Muerte — a Mexican "death saint" adopted by local gangs as their own talisman.

The eerie statue of a skeleton shrouded in a cape — a scythe in her right hand and a globe of Earth in her left — is the latest in a fast-growing number of Santa Muerte shrines found in criminal hideouts in the western city of Duran.

Offerings of money, tobacco, alcohol, figurines and religious paraphernalia were piled up at her feet by gangsters seeking the saint's protection.

"The belief is that when they entrust themselves to this Santa Muerte, they will not be caught or they will achieve their goal because Santa Muerte takes care of them," Duran police colonel Roberto Santamaria told AFP.

ECUADOR-DEATH-DRUGS

Sometimes the offerings are more sinister.

A former gang member told AFP some colleagues have been known to make human sacrifices too.

"They stole children from other towns and sacrificed them in front of her (Santa Muerte) when they wanted to land a big hit," the man said, refusing to give his name.

Guardian saint of healing and protection

Also known as The Skinny Lady or The White Girl, Santa Muerte is a guardian saint of healing and protection, and thousands of Latin Americans pray to her for safe passage to the afterlife.

Believed to date back to 18th century Mexico, the saint gained a following of drug lords there. Last November in Mexico, two women and a boy were shot dead at an altar to La Santa Muerte.

The saint was more recently adopted by Ecuadoran traffickers and hitmen in Duran — a city overrun by drug gangs that extort and terrorize locals.

In addition to making offerings at altars, gang members tattoo the saint's likeness on their arms and wear amulets bearing her image around their necks.

Santamaria said Santa Muerte came over from Mexico about six years ago when members of the Ecuadoran gang Los Choneros received training from the infamous Sinaloa cartel, which also transferred its otherworldly beliefs.

Police in Duran estimate they had found altars to the saint in about six out of every 10 busts carried out in 2024.

Los Choneros is one of 20 criminal gangs declared "terrorist groups" by Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa, seeking re-election Sunday as he leads a war on drug gangs blamed for a surge in violent crime in the once-peaceful South American country.

Just last week, a leader of one of Ecuador's biggest crime syndicates, Los Lobos, was arrested at his home in the coastal city of Portoviejo. The U.S. last year declared Los Lobos to be the largest drug trafficking organization in Ecuador.

Noboa has declared a state of emergency and deployed troops in the streets and violence-riddled prisons, resulting in a slight dip in homicide rates in 2024 from the previous year. The president took action last year after gunmen stormed and opened fire in a TV studio and bandits threatened random executions of civilians and security forces. A prosecutor investigating the assault was later shot dead.

Officers scared to work around the altars

Duran and the nearby city of Guayaquil are at the epicenter of Ecuador's violence, due in part to their proximity to the port increasingly used to send cocaine to Europe and the United States from neighbors Peru and Colombia — the world's top producers of the drug.

Like Mexico, Ecuador is a largely Catholic country, and the Church condemns the practice of portraying death as a personality like in the case of Santa Muerte.

However, most Ecuadorans have no problem reconciling the two, and Santa Muerte is being adopted by broader society as well, with depictions sold at markets or even online.

This has prompted observers to worry that people with Santa Muerte items in their possession may be wrongly labeled gangsters amid the government crackdown.

"People are already being criminalized because of their race, because they are impoverished, now they will also be criminalized for popular customs," Ecuadoran social studies researcher Cristina Burneo told AFP.

In further testimony to the saint's reach, Santamaria said many of his officers are scared to work around the altars.

"Police have told me that after the operations, they get headaches, begin to feel sick and feel dizzy," he said -- though he personally does not believe in the powers attributed to the saint.

Police investigating crime scenes or conducting searches do not destroy Santa Muerte statues they come across, unless there is evidence they contain drugs or ammunition.

"In Ecuador there is freedom of worship and anyone can have it, it's not a crime," said Santamaria.

Experts who predicted Covid years in advance reveal how new virus in Alabama could trigger pandemic

READ MORE: New virus discovered in Alabama raises pandemic fears

By CASSIDY MORRISON SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and ALEXA LARDIERI U.S. DEPUTY HEALTH EDITOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Published: 09:24 EST, 5 February 2025 | Updated: 15:32 EST, 5 February 2025

Experts are sounding the alarm about the discovery of a never-before-seen virus in the US which belongs to a deadly family of pathogens.

Researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia revealed this week they had discovered the new virus in shrews — small, mole-like animals — near the town of Camp Hill, in Tallapoosa County, Alabama.

The newly-named Camp Hill virus is part of the henipavirus family, which also includes the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses, which rank among the World Health Organization's biggest pandemic threats and kill up to 70 percent of people they infect.

Dr David Dyjack, a public health expert at the National Environmental Health Association, who was not involved in the research, told DailyMail.com a new virus like this could be 'threatening to all mankind.'

He said: ‘What concerns us in public health is we have this virus with [we believe] a very high mortality rate, and if it were to mutate and transmit to a human, and attack the kidneys, as we've seen in some animals, that could be particularly threatening to all of mankind.’

The new pathogen has yet to infect a human, so little is known about it, but other pathogens in the same family can cause spinal cord and brain inflammation, brain swelling, respiratory distress, kidney damage, and liver damage.

Dr Dyjack added: ‘I would say that there are three things that keep me up at night: One is a nuclear war. The second is the implications of a changing climate, and the third is a global pandemic. The Camp Hill virus sits squarely in the bullseye of the pandemic concern.'

Other experts are less alarmed about the discovery, such as Dr Donald Burke, an epidemiologist who predicted a global coronavirus pandemic two decades before the 2020 crisis. He told DailyMail.com that Camp Hill ‘isn't likely to cause an epidemic.'

The newness of the Camp Hill virus means scientists have more questions than answers and its genome sequence doesn't provide information about its severity or transmissibility among humans or even animals.

While it contains data that shows it may be able to infect human cells, Dr Adam Hume, a virologist at Boston University, told DailyMail.com: ‘That doesn't tell you whether it would be pathogenic [cause disease] or not, but if it can't enter human cells, then it does tell you that it probably isn't pathogenic.'

Dr Hume, who was not involved in the Australian research, added: ‘At this point we don't know enough about it. Maybe someday in the future, we would be able to sort of determine [transmissibility and virulence].’

Researchers from the University of Queensland captured four northern short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda) in Alabama as part of an unrelated study on mammal aging in 2021.

They analyzed tissue samples from the animals and discovered genetic material from a virus that was unlike anything they'd seen before.

The virus was primarily found in the shrews’ kidneys, which suggests it would attack the same organs in humans.

Dr Rhys Parry from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences said: The closest known henipavirus to Camp Hill virus that has caused disease in humans is Langya virus, which crossed from shrews to humans in China.

‘This indicates that shrew-to-human transmission can occur.’

Langya virus, like Camp Hill, Nipah, and Hedra, belongs to the henipavirus family. It generally causes mild symptoms, including coughing, fatigue, and fever.

Nipah and Hendra viruses can prove much more severe. The Nipah virus causes severe respiratory distress, brain inflammation and swelling, and potential organ failure.

Hendra virus causes similar inflammation and respiratory failure, as well as pneumonia.

While scientists do not know how Camp Hill virus may manifest in a human patient, they are able to make some educated guesses based on symptoms of other henipaviruses.

When exposed to other henipaviruses through contact with infected animals' bodily fluids, consuming contaminated fruits, or having close contact with someone who has been infected, a protein on its surface binds to another protein on the person’s cell membranes in various tissues throughout the body, including the lungs, brain, and blood vessels.

When the proteins link together, the virus pathogen fuses with the host cell and transfers some RNA into it.

The virus then hijacks cells to make them replicate genetic material and produce even more viral proteins that go on to infect more cells.

There is some evidence to suggest that henipaviruses can be spread through respiratory droplets, but this is not fully understood.

Dr Dyjack said: 'As we saw with Covid, it was unclear in the beginning whether this was fomites - organisms on surfaces - or whether it was airborne. Turns out it was airborne.

'For something like this, if it's airborne, that causes me great distress as a public health professional.'

Symptoms of henipavirus infection come on around five days to three weeks after exposure to the bodily fluids of infected animals. It kills about 70 percent of people infected.

The infection to symptom time of the Nipah virus is shorter, around three to 14 days after exposure. It kills between 40 and 75 percent of its victims.

Dr Dyjack said the open question about how the Camp Hill virus mutates and to whom it can spillover to is of particular concern.

He told DailyMail.com: ‘Viruses mutate at an extraordinary rate. They may be locked up in an individual species, but over time, those mutations within the organ which naturally occur, as we saw in COVID. Frankly, that's what concerns us in public health.'

It's not clear whether shrews are the reservoir of Camp Hill virus or just an intermediary animal hosting it after being passed along by the real reservoir, such as fruit bats.

If the virus were to mutate in specific ways within shrews, it could improve its ability to bind to shrew cell receptors, spread more efficiently among shrews, and survive longer outside the host.

While some scientists, including those from Australia who discovered the virus, have raised concerns about its potential for a public health crisis, others do not believe it poses a threat to humans.

Dr David Quammen, a science writer whose book Spillover quoted Dr Burke’s forecast about the next pandemic, told DailyMail.com: ‘I'm not saying the discovery of a new henipavirus is not something to take seriously. It is.

'It could be concerning. But at this point, if it's just been found in a shrew in Alabama, it's not concerning.’

He added: ‘The news we get every day about bird flu is much, much more concerning to me than the news of a henipavirus in shrews in Alabama.’

Still, Dr Dyjack believes the US has 'the right conditions here for the next pandemic.'

He said: ‘We have a mammal carrying a virus in which there is no vaccination, we are not necessarily surveilling for this virus, in which case the clinical community is not prepared for it.

'And so the conditions under which perhaps it could be transmitted to a human through a horse or a pig or something, and then for it to exist in a human population without actually being detected for a while exists in the US right now.’

When exposed to other henipaviruses, a protein on its surface binds to another protein on the person’s cell membranes in various tissues throughout the body, including the lungs, brain, and blood vessels.

When the proteins link together, the virus pathogen fuses with the host cell and transfers some RNA into it. The virus then hijacks cells to make them replicate genetic material and produce even more viral proteins that go on to infect more cells.

Dr Dyjack added: ‘There's more that we don't know than we know as it relates to public health, as tissue and human health. On the face of it, that is alarming, particularly since it has been identified within the homeland.’

Hundreds of women are raped then burned alive after rebel group breaks into prison and forces its way into female ward

By TOM COTTERILL

Published: 06:19 EST, 5 February 2025 | Updated: 11:06 EST, 5 February 2025

Hundreds of women were raped and then burnt alive after Rwandan-backed rebels stormed into the Congolese city of Goma, it has emerged.

The atrocity took place during a mass jail break from the Munzenze jail last week, as M23 fighters clashed with the Congolese army during deadly gun battles.

According to the UN, female inmates were butchered in their wing in the notoriously overcrowded prison after men forced their way in and went on a rampage.

While thousands of male criminals managed to flee, the area reserved for women was torched to the ground, Vivian van de Perre, the deputy head of the UN peacekeeping force in Goma, said.

Images taken shortly after M23 fighters reached the centre of Goma showed vast plumes of black smoke rising from the jail on January 27, as long lines of men sprinted away from the inferno.

It's unclear who was behind the slaughter of the female inmates as UN peacekeepers have been barred from entering the site by M23 rebels.

However, reports have suggested at least 141 jailed women were murdered, along with 28 young children who had been in detention with their mothers.

Describing the carnage, Ms Van de Perre said the figure could be higher.

'There was a major prison breakout of 4,000 escaped prisoners. A few hundred women were also in that prison... They were all raped and then they set fire to the women's wing. They all died afterwards,' she said.

Local reports claim that during the mayhem, inmates were gunned down by guards as they attempted to stop the mass break out.

A week on from the rampage and the Munzenze jail lies in ruins and is completely empty, with the guards having deserted their posts.

A large part of the facility has been destroyed by blaze, including the prison administration's office. The prison was also looted in the wake of the escape.

Prior to the incident, Munzenze Central Prison housed around 4,400 inmates, well beyond its capacity.

On Tuesday it emerged that 2,000 bodies were still awaiting burial in Goma after the M23 rebels seized the city, which is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's North Kivu province.

In a disturbing new claim following the uprising, the UN office of the high commissioner for human rights (OHCHR) warned that sexual violence is being used as a weapon of war by rival armed groups in Goma.

The city, home to one million people, is now under the complete control of M23 fighters.

On Monday the rebel group declared a ceasefire would begin on Tuesday for 'humanitarian reasons'.

The UN previously said that almost 2,900 had been injured during the uprising, while locals estimates suggest over 2,000 have been killed.

The alliance of rebel groups - known as the 'Congo River Alliance', which M23 is a member of - has previously accused the Congolese military of killing people using aircrafts to bomb areas it holds.

The organisation added it does not intend to seize any further territory, despite saying otherwise last week, and it will hold its positions.

In a statement, the alliance said: 'We reiterate our commitment to protecting and defending the civilian population and our positions.'

Prior to this, fears had been mounting that that Rwanda was determined to take more territory from its vast neighbour, with M23 forces steadily pushing south towards Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province 120 miles from the besieged Goma.

Responding to news of the unexpected ceasefire, Ms Van de Perre said: 'I hope it stays that way because they [M23] were already moving in the direction of Bukavu with reinforcements and heavy weaponry, which can be seen passing [along] the streets in Goma.

'If they retreat, that's good news. Otherwise, we'll have a new clash with potentially thousands of additional deaths.'

Regional conflict has seen hundreds of thousands of people displaced over the last three years.

Since the start of 2025, more than 400,000 people have been forced to flee from their homes, according to the UN's refugee agency.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame - who also heads up the Rwanda Defence Force - said he did not know if his country's troops were in the DR Congo.

'There are many things I don't know. But if you want to ask me, is there a problem in Congo that concerns Rwanda? And that Rwanda would do anything to protect itself? I'd say 100 per cent,' he told CNN on Monday.

Meanwhile, human rights groups have been calling for more pressure on Rwanda to back down.

The DR Congo's communications minister called for the international community to impose sanctions on Rwanda.

'A strong decision (must be taken) not only to condemn, but to stop what Rwanda is doing, because it is not acceptable if you want to preserve peace in Africa and in our region,' Patrick Muyaya told Reuters.

'Sanctions are the minimum,' he added.

Trump invites King Abdullah of Jordan to formal White House visit

King Abdullah will meet with President Trump on Feb. 11, a week after he meets with Netanyahu; Trump’s controversial Gaza relocation plan faces strong opposition from Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations, who reject displacing Palestinians as a solution to Gaza’s crisis

Lior Ben Ari|14:48

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has received an invitation to meet with President Donald Trump on February 11. The announcement of the invitation coincided with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s departure for Washington aboard the government-owned Wing of Zion plane for his official visit. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump on Tuesday.

In recent days, President Trump has reiterated his proposal for neighboring countries of Israel, specifically Egypt and Jordan, to absorb residents of the Gaza Strip as part of his "relocation" plan for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians. Both Cairo and Amman have rejected the idea, but Trump remains adamant: "They will do it. We do a lot for them – they will do this."

Trump first raised the proposal last week following the second round of hostage releases of the first phase of the hostage deal. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, he described Gaza as a "massive demolition site" and argued that rebuilding it would require relocating its residents to Jordan or Egypt. He suggested this could serve as a long-term solution rather than just a temporary measure. "This involves moving 1.5 million people and simply clearing out the entire place," Trump said.

So far, despite early support for the idea among Israeli right-wing factions, strong opposition from Palestinians, as well as from Jordan and Egypt, has made the plan appear unfeasible. It is also unclear how seriously Trump intends to pursue the proposal, as even one of his closest allies, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, has expressed significant doubts about its viability.

On Saturday, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League issued a joint statement opposing Trump’s push for the migration of Palestinians out of Gaza to neighboring countries – a proposal he has repeatedly mentioned over the past week.

"We emphasize that we reject the idea of displacing Palestinians from their land for any reason," the statement read. It was released following a meeting in Cairo between foreign ministers of several nations and Hussein al-Sheikh, secretary-general of the PLO Executive Committee.

Trump talks about moving Gazans to Jordan and Egypt

The joint statement also expressed the countries’ willingness to work with the Trump administration "to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, based on a two-state solution." The representatives said they discussed efforts to support the Palestinian cause and maintain the cease-fire in Gaza. Among the issues raised was the "mechanism" that would enable the Palestinian Authority to carry out its responsibilities in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper reported on Sunday, citing an unnamed diplomatic source, that "Egypt’s task in confronting Trump’s plan will not be easy unless it receives Arab support, given Trump’s insistence on advancing his proposal."

The report also revealed that a senior Trump administration official visited Cairo last week to hold discussions about the plan. According to the report from Doha, Egyptian officials who met with the American representative expressed Cairo’s concerns and warned of potential consequences if Trump’s plan is implemented.

President Trump Reverses Biden Policy Funding Military Abortion Travel

National | Steven Ertelt | Jan 31, 2025 | 11:01AM | Washington, DC

President Donald Trump has made good on his promise to enforce the Hyde Amendment and limits on taxpayer-funded abortions.

Following his executive order and confirmation of pro-life Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Department of Defense has issued a memo overturning Biden’s abortion travel policy that funded travel for military personnel to leave pro-life states and head to states where abortions are legal for the purpose of ending the life of their unborn child.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican, had been leading the fight against the pro-abortion Biden policy and he confirmed to TownHall today that it has bene reversed.

SUPPORT LIFENEWS! If you want to help fight abortion, please donate to LifeNews.com!

“The update, which was announced in a Defense Travel Management Office memo, removes paragraph 033013 from the Pentagon’s Joint Travel Regulations,” TownHall reported.

Tuberville said Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “affirmed” what he had been fighting for all along: that taxpayer money should not go toward abortions.

“For the past two years, I have been sounding the alarm about the Pentagon’s illegal and immoral practice of using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions,” he said in a statement. “I took a lot of heat when I stood alone for nearly a year in holding senior Pentagon promotions over this—but as of today, it was all worth it. The Biden administration treated taxpayers like their own personal Piggy bank that they could use to bankroll their woke agenda. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth affirmed today what I’ve been fighting for since I got to Washington: zero taxpayer dollars should go towards abortions. Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, the Pentagon will once again be focused on lethality, not pushing a political agenda. Thank God common sense has been restored to our military under President Trump’s leadership.”

In a post on X, Senator Tuberville applauded the move.

When Biden announced the new policy to make Americans fund abortion tourism, Senator Tommy Tuberville made the decision to block all military nominations until the policy was reversed. Instead of reversing the policy, the Biden administration continued forcing Americans to fund abortion.

While Biden and the media claimed Tuberville is to blame for the lack of approved military nominees, Democrats could have approved the nominees one at a time. – because all Tuberville is doing is blocking a vote on all of them at the same time. Senate Democrats could bring up the nominations – and approve the two nominees today if they really wanted to do so.

Tuberville eventually backed down when he realized Biden would never reverse the policy and he didn’t want to hurt military efforts.

The Biden policy required taxpayers to fund travel costs and paid time off for military service members and their families to abort their unborn babies in elective abortions. As a result, Republican leaders estimate 4,100 more unborn babies could be killed in abortions every year.

In response, House Republicans succeeded in passing the Jackson-Roy amendment to the NDAA.

The House voted 221-213 and 222-210 in favor of amendments to the NDAA to ban the Pentagon from paying for expenses related to killing unborn babies and from funding gender transition procedures The Senate never adopted the language.

Federal law (10 U.S.C. § 1093) has long prevented the Department of Defense (DOD) from using funds to perform elective abortions and prevented the DOD from using its facilities to provide abortions. On October 20, 2022, the Biden Administration’s DOD published a memorandum directing the DOD to pay the travel and transportation costs for military members and dependents who travel to obtain elective abortions.

Polls consistently show strong public opposition to taxpayer-funded abortions. A new Marist poll found 60 percent of Americans oppose using tax dollars to fund abortions in the U.S. Additionally, 78 percent oppose using tax dollars to fund abortions in other countries.

Illegal migrant cut loose in plea deal after raping sleeping woman — but then the feds stepped in

By Larry Celona, Joe Marino, Jennie Taer and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Published Feb. 4, 2025, 7:02 a.m. ET

An Ecuadorian migrant cut a deal with Queens prosecutors that allowed him to dodge jail time for rape — but he couldn’t outrun the feds.

Kail Cardenas, 27, was picked up by federal agents in Jamaica Monday morning, less than a month after he was freed in the horrifying 2023 rape and sex abuse case, The Post has learned.

“DEANewYork continues, along with our @justicedept & other federal law enforcement partners, to assist @dhsgov with their immigration enforcement efforts targeting violent illegal criminals,” the New York division of the federal drug-busting agency said in a post on X.

According to federal immigration sources, Cardenas arrived in the US from Ecuador on a visitor visa in September 2016, but remained in the country after his legal status expired in July 2021.

The illegal migrant was accused of molesting a woman who passed out at an apartment party in Jamaica on Jan. 29, 2023. The victim told authorities she woke up as Cardenas was raping her, according to the criminal complaint in the case.

Prosecutors later recovered Instagram messages between the victim and her attacker, in which he “stated that he saw [her] sleeping” and “began touching [her] body,” according to the complaint.

“He got an erection when he was touching her and then started having sex with [her],” the court doc states.

Cardenas was arrested and charged with first-degree rape and first-degree sexual assault. He could have faced between five and 25 years behind bars if convicted of the top charge.

But Cardenas was allowed to plead guilty to a lesser third-degree rape charge as part of a deal that required him to complete one year of sex offender counseling — and would serve no jail time if he passed.

The charge was then knocked down to third-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor, authorities said.

Cardenas was sentenced on January 13 to time already served in jail and released — with the court issuing an order of protection for him to stay away from the victim, records show.

The free ride ended with Monday’s bust by a coalition of federal agencies, sources said.

It followed the mass arrests of accused illegal migrant criminals by federal officials across the Empire State last week.

The US Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment about Monday’s bust.

California Gov’t App Advises Teens To Drop Christianity And Embrace The Occult

By Alex Newman February 3, 2025

An official “mental health” app backed by the state of California is targeting vulnerable children with controversial propaganda involving the occult, the New Age, homosexuality, transgenderism, fornication, and more. The attack on biblical principles and precepts is clear. But critics are sounding the alarm.

Under the guise of helping California teens with self-esteem and emotions, the new program, known as “Soluna,” features blatantly pagan and occult themes. From magicians and Tarot cards to channeling “that high priestess” and touting lesbian characters, the controversial topics are ubiquitous.

One lesson is called “Tarot and Tidings: a holiday spread to protect your peace.” “This season, the cards are stacked in your favor,” reads the text. “This holiday tarot spread holds the secret to boundary-setting magic — meaning less chaos and more clarity.” The Bible teaches refers to such practices as an “abomination.”

The Tarot and Tidings segment’s “first card,” as the state’s “mental health” scheme for children calls it, informs the impressionable victims that “you hold the power to create your own reality.” It also urges the children to “protect your energy” and get ready to cast a “spell.”

The next card in the Tarot series features a “high priestess” where students are taught to “channel that high priestess” when family members ask “cringey questions” during the holidays. It then calls on students to “embrace the Hermit energy” because it is “where your magic grows.”

Another lesson in the mental-health app is titled “Coming out to immigrant parents: parent POV.” “In this audio, you’ll hear the story of Olga, an immigrant parent, and her queer daughter, Nina,” the slide declares before dissing “cultural values” and promoting homosexuality.

In the scenario, Olga, an immigrant, describes how her culture frowns on homosexuality. But when her daughter Nina identifies as a homosexual, Olga was forced to balance those obsolete values with the supposed reality of who her daughter supposedly is. Despite mountains of evidence, the exercise treats homosexuality as innate and immutable.

Yet another lesson teaching children about “physical intimacy” encourages fornication. “Taking that next step with someone special is a big deal! It can be an exciting way to deepen your connection,” the app informs children. “Ready to get spicy and safe? Let’s chat.”

In short, as long as there is what the app calls “consent” and “protection” from babies and venereal diseases, the state scheme urges its victims to do “whatever you’re comfortable with.” It even encourages children to consider whether they want to be monogamous or polyamorous, having numerous sexual partners at the same time, as if this were normal.

The attack on traditional culture is blatant, too. In a lesson supposedly teaching children how to be their “authentic self,” Soluna features a discussion between a student refusing to participate in the family Thanksgiving gathering. The reason given is that the Indians were supposedly mistreated by evil white men.

This is, of course, a total misrepresentation of the real Thanksgiving. The true history of the holiday involved Natives joining together peacefully with European settlers to eat a feast, play games, and give thanks to their Creator in a wonderful example of true cross-cultural fellowship. Few of the victims of California’s government schools would know that, though.

The app seems calculated to undermine biblical religion and inoculate children against it, too. In an exercise called “Thought Shaker” that is supposed to “boost confidence and self-esteem,” teens are given bizarre slogans such as “Everything is temporary,” “I am good enough,” “I love who I am,” “I am worthy of a happy and fulfilling life,” and more.

Apparently, there is no place in the program for biblical precepts such as “all fall short of the glory of God,” “all have sinned,” that all deserve eternal punishment for their sin, and everyone needs Christ as Savior to be redeemed. Instead, children are taught to believe they are perfect as they are, with no need for a Redeemer or repentance.

Critics warn that the values and ideas promoted with the program run contrary to the faith traditions of many parents and are highly inappropriate at best. Among those sounding the alarm is Brenda Lebsack, a veteran California educator and school board member in the state who has become a leading voice exposing the attacks on children.

“The Mental Health Crisis Hotlines, both National and in the state of California, are being used as indoctrination tools,” she told The Newman Report. “When I went through these lessons it is obvious there is another agenda they are trying to accomplish, which is definitely contrary to Judeo-Christian Values.”

Among other concerns, Lebsack noted that the programs normalize endless genders and encourage children to enter chat spaces with “unvetted, random adults to explore their genders and sexualities.” The promotion of these ideas can be deeply harmful to children, as countless experts have explained.

They also take aim at students’ faith. “The positive self-talk meditations [in Soluna] are messages that basically place self in the position of ultimate power as the ‘end all,’ thus ignoring that a Creator even exists and ignoring that a sin nature is even possible,” she said. “If sin is non-existent, then the need for a Redeemer or Savior becomes irrelevant.”

Another scheme promoted by California and even the federally funded National Suicide Hotline is Trevor Space. As documented by Lebsack and The Newman Report in 2023, the outfit promotes radical LGBT ideology, affirms delusion and confusion about gender, and promotes everything from sodomy to fornication among children.

Lebsack has been sounding the alarm about Trevor Space for years, pointing to its Witchcraft Club, Pagan Club, Guilt and Secrets Club, and more. There are also “communities” for “furries” (who identify as animals), “regressors” (who identify as babies), and even a “Gay Men Club” with the tagline “let’s talk about boys.”

State authorities in California are using taxpayer money to fund these programs and also to promote them on radio stations, advertisements, schools, and even in movie theaters. The California Department of Health Care Services brags about the platforms as part of its nearly $5 billion “investment” in youth “behavioral health.”

It is true that children today are in big trouble: CDC data show one in three high-school girls have seriously considered suicide. But the solution is not more of the indoctrination and propaganda that is driving the despair. These programs represent a horrific abuse of children and taxpayers, and the damage being perpetrated is incalculable. It must end.

US Air Force "Rivet Joint" Now Operating Openly Over Mexico

Hal Turner World February 03, 2025 Hits: 16007

A United States Air Force "Rivet Joint" Surveillance aircraft, is now operating OPENLY over Mexico.

For years, U.S. surveillance flights in Mexico have been quiet, hidden, and off the books. Not this time.

Here is the Radar catch from FlightRadar24:

One Intel source described it to me this way: "If I were to bet, Chapitos are fucked."

He is referring to the Drug Cartel operated by the sons of former Drug Kingpin ""El Chapo" who is now in a U.S. Prison.

This is the first time such capabilities are operating openly, key word OPENLY, over Mexican sovereign territory clearing indicating an agreement was made by both countries.

Historically, we tend to see shadow companies operate such flights, or it is done without public awareness, this is a significant deployment of an impressive system.

Mission

The RC-135V/W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft supports theater and national level consumers with near real time on-scene intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination capabilities.

Features

The aircraft is an extensively modified C-135. The Rivet Joint's modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Rivet Joint's extensive communications suite.

The interior seats more than 30 people, including the cockpit crew, electronic warfare officers, intelligence operators and in-flight maintenance technicians.

The Rivet Joint fleet was re-engined with CFM-56 engines with an upgraded flight deck instrumentation and navigational systems to FAA/ICAO standards. These standards include conversion from analog readouts to a digital "glass cockpit" configuration.

All Rivet Joint airframe and mission systems modifications are overseen by L-3 Communications (previously Raytheon), under the oversight of Air Force Materiel Command.

All RC-135s are assigned to Air Combat Command. The RC-135 is permanently based at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., and operated by the 55th Wing, using various forward deployment locations worldwide. More recently, RC-135s have also supported Operation Allied Force in Kosovo, and Operation Odyssey Dawn/Unified Protector in Libya

General Characteristics

Primary Function: Reconnaissance

Contractor: L-3 Communications

Power Plant: Four CFM International F108-CF-201 high bypass turbofan engines

Thrust: 21,600 pounds each engine

Wingspan: 131 feet (39.9 meters)

Length: 135 feet (41.1 meters)

Height: 42 feet (12.8 meters)

Weight: 173,000 pounds (78,743 kilograms)

Maximum Takeoff Weight: 297,000 pounds (133,633 kilograms)

Fuel Capacity: 130,000 pounds (58,967 kilograms)

Speed: 500+ miles per hour (Mach.66)

Range: 3,900 miles (6,500 kilometers)

Ceiling: 50,000 feet (15,240 meters)

Crew: (flight crew) five (augmented) - three pilots, two navigators; (mission flight crew) 21-27, depending on mission requirements, minimum consisting of three electronic warfare officers, 14 intelligence operators and four inflight/airborne maintenance technicians

Unit Cost: unavailable

Initial operating capability: January 1964

Inventory: Active force, 17; Reserve, 0; Guard, 0

The reality that the United States Air Force is now openly sending THIS type of military surveillance aircraft down the side of Mexico to cover the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where the "Chapitos" operate" is quite a sign of who the US Military might go after early-on, now that Drug Cartels have been declared "Foreign Terrorist Organizations."

The map below shows the location of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Right where the Surveillance plane is operating:

Clearly, President Trump wasn't just talking when he declared the Drug Cartels to be "Foreign Terrorist Organizations." The deployment of THIS plane proves the US military is now gathering Intel; and common sense will tell you WHY. Sounds like: BOOM.

Thousands of people have fled the island of Santorini as hundreds of quakes continued to course through the famous Greek tourist destination.

More than 6,000 residents have left the island in recent days, according to Greek public broadcaster ERT. Early Tuesday morning, hundreds of people carrying their belongings were seen waiting at a port on the island, waiting for a ferry to take them to Athens.

A tremor with a magnitude of 4.8 was recorded early Tuesday, just shy of a 4.9 quake recorded over the weekend – the strongest so far. Over the past three days, some 550 tremors with a magnitude of 3.0 have been recorded in the Aegean Sea, between Santorini and the nearby islands of Amorgos and Ios.

Greece’s Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization (OASP) has estimated that the intense seismic activity may continue for many more days, if not weeks.

Santorini, dubbed Greece’s “Instagram Island,” attracts some 3.4 million visitors a year but is only home to around 20,000 permanent residents. Many of those have decided to flee the island for the safety of the mainland.

“I work on the island, I have been a resident for years. But today… nobody was expecting this to happen, what is happening now on the island is incredible,” Julian Sinanaj, a 35-year-old resident, told Reuters.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday urged residents to remain calm as authorities deal with “a very intense geological phenomenon.”

Additional flights have been announced to help residents get to safety, with 15 flights from Santorini to Athens scheduled for Tuesday. Schools on the island will remain closed until Friday and residents have been advised to avoid large indoor gatherings.

“Everything is closed. No one works now. The whole island has emptied,” Dori, an 18-year-old resident, told Reuters.

Sitting near the boundary of the massive African and Eurasian tectonic plates, Santorini is no stranger to tremors, although near-constant seismic events like this are rare.

The island is famed for its caldera – a bowl-shaped crater caused by a volcanic eruption – which was formed by one of the largest known blasts around 3,600 years ago.

Santorini’s most recent large quake – with a 7.5 magnitude – struck in 1956, killing at least 53 people and injuring more than 100 others.
