🇷🇺 RIP David Lynch: Filmmaker, meditator, 9/11 truth-seeker
Ron Unz recently noted "the sharp decline in quality of the New York Times." He might have added that we can still learn things from the Times by reading between the lines, the way Soviet-era Russians read Tass and Pravda. That's a good way to read today's David Lynch obituary. The Times, like the rest of the American Establishment, views Lynch as a crazy artistic weirdo with entertainingly offbeat views — perhaps a great filmmaker, but hardly to be taken seriously in terms of getting at the most important truths about our world. The obit writer, a certain J. Hoberman, seems amused by Lynch's "manichean" juxtaposition of extreme Capraesque innocence with equally extreme beyond-Kafkaesque suspicions of depravity. From the Establishment point of view, the fact that Lynch was a 9/11 truth-seeker seems par for the course.

Last weekend, US proxies launched a drone attack on a critical part of the TurkStream gas pipeline located in southwest Russia. The incident was largely ignored by the mainstream media, but its importance to energy starved Europeans cannot be overstated. The attack is clearly a continuation of the same hostile policy that led to the sabotage of the NordStream pipeline. (Note — The biggest act of industrial terrorism in history.) The strategic objective of these attacks is to isolate Russia by blocking all attempts at economic integration in order to divide the world into warring blocs. This process of 'decoupling' is intended to portray Russia as an emerging threat to the West thereby justifying Washington's covert operations. This is from an article at the Asia Times: The Ukrainians sent nine drones to attack a natural gas compressor station in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia.

With police forces overwhelmed by the enormous scope of devastation in Los Angeles County, residents are starting to take matters into their own hands, defying mandatory evacuation orders to instead guard their homes and their neighbor's property with firearms. As we reported yesterday, losses from the wildfires in Los Angeles county are poised to reach $250 billion or more. Property isn't only being destroyed -- it's also being stolen by brazen looters. The neighbor of one LA county resident gave a disturbing description of what was going on on their street: "There were like a hundred people that came up on scooters and were trying to get into any and all houses on this street." In response, LA County Sheriff Robert Luna has imposed a curfew, saying, "We're not screwing around with this; we don't want people taking advantage of our residents that have already been victimized." Of course, strong words are little defense against looters determined to prey on vulnerable innocents....

After 466 days of war between Israel and Gaza, a ceasefire has finally been declared and is set to go into effect in the coming days. The deal, in essence, is the same exact proposal that was set forth some 8 months ago. In order to understand what may happen next, it is essential to analyze the circumstances that led to this outcome. On Wednesday, Hamas officially accepted a ceasefire/prisoner-exchange agreement with Israel. The day prior, the Israelis had pledged to announce and then finalize the deal within as little as 24 hours given a Hamas commitment to the deal. Suddenly, on Thursday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed a planned cabinet meeting to formally ratify the ceasefire, claiming that Hamas had made additional demands, without making it clear what the Palestinian group was asking for. Immediately Hamas responded by stating that it hadn't made such demands and was fully committed to the deal they just signed. The Israeli PM's efforts to delay...

The Middle East is on the verge of total war despite recent developments involving a fragile ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and the collapse of the Assad government in Syria last month which is now occupied by terrorists, so 2025 seems like its going to be a turbulent year with the transition from the Biden's criminal cabal to the incoming Trump regime. Both President Joe Biden and President-Elect Donald Trump claimed credit for ending Israel's genocidal war that has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians to date. But don't get your hopes up too high because the new ceasefire deal will not last. What will most likely happen after Trump's inauguration is that Israel will somehow violate the ceasefire agreement and strike alleged Hamas targets. It is certain that Hamas would retaliate which would allow Trump to give Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to respond in any way he sees fit and then the world will witness once again another war.

🌡️ California pulls back EPA requests for approval to phase out diesel-powered trains and big rigs
California's efforts to limit pollution from diesel-powered trains and big rigs were stalled in anticipation of pushback from the incoming Trump administration. The California Air Resources Board said Tuesday it withdrew its requests for federal approval to implement stricter emissions rules for locomotives and semi-trucks because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had yet to approve them. The decision came just days before Democratic President Joe Biden leaves office. During his first administration, Trump attempted to thwart various California climate efforts, including rules to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation sources. One of the rules California pulled after the EPA failed to approve it would have phased out the sale of new diesel-powered semi-trucks and buses by 2036. The Air Resources Board passed the regulation in 2023. Another rule, which the agency approved the same month, would have banned locomotive engines more than 23 years old by 2030 and...

Johnson cited Trump as a reason for the ouster when the speaker met with Turner Wednesday night, according to a person familiar with the conversation who was granted anonymity to describe it. Turner told CBS News' Margaret Brennan that Johnson had cited "concerns from Mar-a-Lago" as the reason for the decision.

The legislation will scrap anti-strike laws brought in by the last Conservative government and introduce a string of new employment rights championed by the trade unions.
