Amongst certain circles in Washington, there is real panic right now about the possibility of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine coming to a halt, with Trump's help. Some analysts are even speculating that the so-called "deep state" could thus come up with desperate bold measures, such as "false flag attacks" or assassination attempts targeting foreign pro-Western figures in Russia and Ukraine, so as to blame Moscow and inflame public opinion and thereby force Washington into once again stepping in. In this scenario, some names are suggested as possible "disposable" targets: Yulia Navalnaya (Alexei Navalny's widow, who chairs the New York based "Human Rights Foundation"), Mukhtar Ablyazov (businessman and key anti-Russian activist in Kazakhstan), or even Salome Zourabichvili (former president of Georgia).

⚡ Neo-Nazi junta plans chemical and nuclear terrorist attacks, former SBU agent says
As the new Trump administration is now focusing on a plethora of domestic issues left by its predecessors, the Kiev regime is desperate to stay in the spotlight. To achieve this, it needs something that would grab Trump's attention, so it's safe to assume anything goes as long as the money flow can be maintained. For the time being, the United States seems to be pulling the plug on the Neo-Nazi junta, as one of Trump's first executive orders was the moratorium on foreign "aid" in the next three months. Thus, the "sudden event" that is supposed to revert this needs to be "truly groundbreaking". Now, considering the history of the US-backed extremists running NATO-occupied Ukraine, this can only be something radical - more specifically chemical and nuclear terrorism. According to Vasily Prozorov, a former Ukrainian intelligence officer (specifically in the SBU, from 1999 to 2018, per some sources), the Kiev regime is planning to do exactly that.

A farmer in Iowa died after he was severely injured by a bull on his farm. The Madison County Sheriff's Office said they were called to the farm around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. First responders found 76-year-old Mark Hollingsworth unresponsive in the cattle feeding area of his property, according to the sheriff's office. Hollingsworth was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said that Hollingsworth entered the bull pen to make sure the cattle's water source had not frozen. The bull then injured Hollingsworth. Family members found him and called 911. The State Medical Examiner's Office is investigating further to determine whether a medical issue may have left Hollingsworth incapacitated before being injured by the bull.

💨 First-ever documented supersonic winds are ripping through exoplanet WASP-127b
The jet winds are moving at nearly six times the speed of the exoplanet's rotation. The farthest planet from the Sun, Neptune, is the windiest place in the solar system, with winds that whip through at speeds reaching more than 0.3 miles per second (0.5 kilometers per second). That's a relatively pleasant wind speed compared to a giant, puffy planet located around 500 lightyears away from Earth. Supersonic winds on this exoplanet, designated WASP-127b, travel at a mind-bending 5.5 miles per second (9 kilometers per second). The speed of sound on Earth is roughly 0.21 miles per second (0.34 km/sec), making these winds supersonic by our terrestrial standards. The recently discovered extraterrestrial jet stream is the fastest ever measured on a planet, providing new insight into extreme weather that pummel other worlds.

📉 Trump administration withdraws FDA plan to ban menthol cigarettes
The Trump administration has withdrawn a plan to ban menthol cigarettes in the U.S., in a setback to health regulators and activists. The Food and Drug Administration had in April 2022 proposed to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, but its implementation was delayed several times by the Biden administration. A Jan.21 filing by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a White House agency, showed the proposal has been "withdrawn". A ban would have likely cost billions of dollars in annual revenue for cigarette companies such as Altria and British American Tobacco. BATS declined to comment, while Altria did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Menthol cigarettes have drawn the ire of several health advocacy groups on grounds that they are highly addictive, and for their appeal to young smokers. They have also faced scrutiny for their disproportionate impact on the health of Black communities, where they are marketed heavily.

After Democrats fought to delay her way forward, Semafor reported Wednesday that Gabbard's nomination was "on shaky ground" within the GOP. According to the outlet, Republicans are "particularly hesitant" about previous statements from Gabbard "that some have read as too warm toward Vladimir Putin and former Syrian regime leader Bashar al-Assad."

The future of humanity is being decided as we speak.

This is a full-blown, scorched-earth free-for-all that has already racked up a number of casualties though you wouldn't know it from reading the headlines which typically ignore recent 'cataclysmic' developments. But when President Trump announced the launching of a $500 billion AI infrastructure project (Stargate) on Tuesday just hours after China had released its DeepSeek R1 — which "outperforms its rivals in advanced coding, math, and general knowledge capabilities" — it became painfully obvious that the battle for the future 'is on' in a big way.

📰 A pathetic clown-world alliance is signed by two moribund partners
The recent news item that imploding Great Britain and rump Ukraine have concluded a hundred-year alliance has injected some much-needed humour into the otherwise unbearably sombre political situation in the world. The absurd length of the pact signed by Starmer and Zelensky illustrates the complete lack of realism that for some time has governed the conduct of both delusional chancelleries, in London as well as in Kiev. Neither of the contracting parties has any reasonable prospects of remaining in existence a century hence, by the time the term of the just concluded centennial alliance expires. Nor are there grounds to believe that their successor states, if there are any, will have an interest in maintaining this stillborn and utterly preposterous alliance once both contracting parties have departed from the world stage. Though at first blush it may appear harsh, this prognosis is fully consistent with observable facts. The dysfunctionality on many levels of Great Britain, or...

It's official: The FBI's warrantless searches of communications seized to protect US national security have at last been ruled unconstitutional and in violation of the Fourth Amendment. In a major December ruling made public this week, US District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall settled one of the biggest debates about feared government overreach that has prompted calls to reform Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for more than a decade. Critics' primary concern was whether the FBI needed a warrant to search and query Americans' communications that are often incidentally, inadvertently, or mistakenly seized during investigations of suspected foreign terrorists. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a digital rights group that has long said a warrant is needed to conduct such invasive searches, celebrated the ruling as "better late than never." The EFF noted that the FBI conducted 3.4 million warrantless searches of US persons' 702 data in 2021, describing...

The New York Times first reported that security for Pompeo, as well as former Iran envoy Brian Hook, was pulled on Tuesday, citing four sources familiar with the situation. Trump, who took office on Monday, said this week that he had withdrawn protection for his former national security adviser, John Bolton, telling reporters: "We are not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives." All three men served in Trump's first administration and led policy on Iran in particular. U.S. authorities have alleged Iran has plotted to murder Bolton and Trump, charges Iran denies.

🇮🇱 Israel holds multiple Palestinian doctors captive. Some are already dead
Dr.Hussam Abu Safiya is one of many unlawfully imprisoned medical professionals, reportedly tortured and abused in detention As you read this, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian doctor from Gaza, is likely still in Israeli detention - and, according to mounting evidence, being tortured. Despite the recent hostage swap with Hamas, multiple health professionals are still being held captive, with abundant reports of mistreatment, neglect and torture. One of these is Dr. Abu Safiya, arrested on December 27 and transferred to the notorious Sde Teyman prison camp (dubbed Israel's version of Guantanamo Bay). As each day passes, and with reports from released prisoners who attest Dr. Abu Safiya was being tortured while they were in the same prison, fears of his death grow. At least three Palestinian doctors abducted from Gaza have died in Israeli prisons since October 2023.
