🏛️ Some of these mysterious 'drones' are indeed UFOs and should be taken seriously
In recent years, mysterious "drones" have hovered with impunity above sensitive government facilities, spurring urgent briefings at the White House and at the highest levels of the British government. Not only can the objects involved in these incursions evade detection and sophisticated countermeasures, they also demonstrate an array of extraordinary flight characteristics. To be sure, some recent drone incidents are likely espionage or intimidation operations. But until conventional drone technology is conclusively linked to the most brazen incursions, these craft must be considered UFOs — or, as Congress and the government now prefer, "unidentified anomalous phenomena." The UFO designation is particularly appropriate considering that several well-documented and equally perplexing incidents over sensitive nuclear facilities in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s bear a remarkable resemblance to the recent incidents. For 17 nights in late 2023, for example, between one and two dozen...

The plaintiffs, who are represented by the law firm Szeto-Wong Law, live in 10 counties in Northern California and are represented by Democratic Reps. Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson. The specific legal tactic being used by the plaintiffs is "unprecedented," according to the group Taxpayers Against Genocide, and hinges on Huffman and Thompson's votes in favor of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act in April.

I stated: "Why is 2025 becoming more and more prominent as an inception date for an attack? Organized criminal gangs crossing the border as migrants. Foreign agents and terrorists slipping into the US using mass immigration as a cover. Leftist activists radicalized to believe they are righteous in their violence. Establishment elites and covert agencies creating false flag events. The conservative sweep on election day means we inherit all the messes that Joe Biden and his handlers created - Economic, political, social, and geopolitical.

Maybe his apologists are right and he's playing the long game; time will tell. Yet, whatever goods he truly plans to deliver or not, it's heartening to see the industry so transparently freaked out about a guy who explicitly promised not to take any vaccines off of the market. Indeed, all that RFK has very meekly floated policy-wise is that they undergo actual safety testing, which would require a placebo control group and which doesn't currently happen for any of the shots currently approved by the FDA.

"The problem is when wealthy people use their resources to finance parties, associations and political exponents all over the world to influence the political choices of nation states", Meloni told reporters at an annual press conference. "That's not what Musk is doing," she added.

Sheep farmers in the Galtee Mountains on the Limerick-Tipperary border have been out since first light, every morning for the last week to save a large number of sheep buried beneath snow. The mountain range, home to thousands of sheep, has been covered in a deep layer of snow this week as extremely cold and icy weather swept over the country - creating a "nightmare" scenario for farmers in the area. Ann Drake, whose family members own dozens of sheep in the mountains, told The Journal that local farmers all over the Galtees are anxious that their livelihoods could be at risk due to the snow. "The last time it was like this, it would've been during the Beast from the East in 2018," Cunningham said. She added that the snow has now stopped and largely frozen over. Farmers have managed to rescue dozens of sheep over the last week but many fear that a large number of the animals have died due to the weather and being stuck under the snow.

🌐 The decline of the Pentagon: A new scenario of uncertainty for NATO
It seems increasingly clear to military analysts that the United States is no longer the same military power it once was. In recent years, U.S. military supremacy has often been seen as a central factor in maintaining the Western-led international order. The idea that the Pentagon could conduct intensive military operations against multiple adversaries simultaneously was widely accepted not only as a strategic reality but as an unquestionable imposition of power. However, with the advancement of Russian military operations in Ukraine, the changing global geopolitical landscape, and the emergence of multipolarity, the Pentagon's role in the current configuration of international tensions is beginning to be questioned. Over the past few decades, the United States has demonstrated its ability to face simultaneous conflicts, with a presence on multiple fronts and in different parts of the world, whether in the Middle East, Central Asia or Africa. The idea of war in two simultaneous...

"And in 2019, [Governor Gavin] Newsom said, you know, that he would take care of the forest, maintain the forest and do all that kinda stuff. He didn't do anything." "On top of that, they cut the water off," Rogan responded and Gibson then joked, "All our tax dollars probably went for Gavin's hair gel."

The US president-elect has previously warned that Kiev may see less money once he takes office.

Ukraine has received a total of $122 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian aid from the US since the conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022, according to the latest figures provided by the Pentagon. The military component of this sum has come from two main sources: a series of spending bills passed by Congress, and the use of Presidential Drawdown Authority - a fund capped by Congress that Biden can use to send weapons and ammunition from US stocks direct to Kiev. The Biden administration has used this authority 72 times to transfer arms to Ukraine, most recently on Thursday when Defense...

There is something epoch-changing happening across the planet. What seems to be unfolding around us is nothing less than an ongoing collapse of the world's globalist regime. The first clear sign that something truly big may be happening was the historic comeback and victory of Donald Trump in last November's election. Eight weeks later the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. It now appears increasingly likely that in the coming weeks we will see the fall of ruling governments and coalitions in Austria, Germany, France, and Britain. Others, such as Romania, are likely to follow. The globalist puppets and technocrats that run these western governments are losing their grip even as we speak. The pool of popular discontent filled to the brim by the self-serving actions of the globalist elite is boiling over. And now they are being roundly booted out by the populist movements across the world.

Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Scott Perry (R-Pa.) that an audit of the disaster relief agency was initiated on Dec. 17, 2024, to "determine how well FEMA followed its policies and procedures when addressing safety concerns and determining community trends that impact disaster survivor assistance in response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton." Two months ago, a now-terminated FEMA employee, Marn'i Washington, allegedly told a FEMA team in Florida to bypass homes that display Trump signs. After reports surfaced that FEMA workers were told to avoid those homes, FEMA Director Deanne Criswell announced that the employee, Washington, was fired.

🔥 BEST OF THE WEB: Pepe Escobar: Empire of Chaos, Reloaded
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun Tzu, The Art of War The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS - plus BRICS partners - as choice targets under fire. Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined "chaos" as official US policy. That's bipartisan - and it runs across all silos of the Deep State. In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that's left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America - a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national interests.

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Thus Denmark finds out how dispensable it is regarding the geopolitical ambitions of the United States, its supposed "strongest ally." President-elect Donald Trump is like a cat among pigeons. Neighboring countries, allies and NATO members are all in a flap over his recent remarks about the United States forcibly annexing their territories. The former real estate tycoon who takes office in the White House for the second time on January 20 is setting out his presidential agenda like a property acquisition spree. He wants to absorb Canada as the 51st state, take back control of the Panama Canal, rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and annex Greenland, which is part of Denmark. It is easy to dismiss the incoming Republican president's talk as bravado and outsized ego. He has a propensity for hyperbole especially when promoting his abilities.

The very thing that keeps humans surviving in an ever-changing world will be the very thing that ultimately destroys them. Normalization. Normalization and the accompanying ability to roll with the punches — to be resilient, pliable, tolerant and accepting against all odds — is really our greatest enemy in these turbulent times. Its original intention — to survive all challenges — was a brilliant attribute that our creator built into us. It is a positive attribute if we follow certain rules and avoid believing there is unsaid benevolence and positivity to everything thrown our way that appears to be innocuous. (Things that are really obviously bad are more difficult to normalize.) In other words, refusing to believe that evil is lurking around nearly every corner with the serpent-like intention to deceive us, and thus destroy us. Another rule we must re-learn is to think critically and be ready and willing to recognize the devil behind certain presentations rather than eat every...

A new analysis of the 6,000-year-old stone circle known as Rujm el-Hiri (also Gilgal Refaim) in Golan Heights suggests that it was not built to observe the heavens. An ancient and enigmatic stone circle in the Middle East may not be a prehistoric astronomical observatory after all, according to a new study of satellite images. But some of the criticisms may be misguided, an expert on ancient astronomy told Live Science. Archaeologists think the oldest parts of Rujm el-Hiri (which means "Heap of Stones of the Wildcat" in Arabic) were built more than 6,000 years ago. The site is in the disputed Golan Heights region, which is claimed by both Israel and Syria. Some earlier investigations proposed that gaps in the stone circle aligned with astronomical events, such as the summer and winter solstices — the shortest and longest nights, respectively — and the monument has been likened to England's Stonehenge. But the new study's geomagnetic analysis and tectonic reconstruction indicate...

A Cranfield University academic has used drone mapping to investigate a 3000-year-old 'mega fortress' in the Caucasus mountains. Dr Nathaniel Erb-Satullo, Senior Lecturer in Archaeological Science at Cranfield Forensic Institute, has been researching the site since 2018 with Dimitri Jachvliani, his co-director from the Georgian National Museum, revealing details that re-shape our understanding of the site and contribute to a global reassessment of ancient settlement growth and urbanism. Fortress settlements in the South Caucasus appeared between 1500-500 BCE, and represent an unprecedented development in the prehistory of the regions. Situated at the boundary between Europe, the Eurasian Steppe, and the Middle East, the Caucasus region has a long history as a cultural crossroads with distinctive local identities.
