Pearl Harbour: Gulf Edition – coming soon?
Last Saturday, the world looked on as the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, launched Operation Al-Asqa Flood, the largest military incursion into the state of Israel since the 1973 October War, the 50th anniversary of which had occurred just one day beforehand. Though lauded by many as a legitimate military response to the Israeli occupation, many could also not help but wonder at how Israel, an entity possessing state of the art surveillance equipment and which receives annual funding from the United States to the tune of billions of dollars, could seemingly be ‘taken by surprise’ by militant Palestinian groups to such a devastating extent.
Fast-Food Graveyard – Sickened for Profit
The modern food system is responsible for making swathes of humanity ill, causing unnecessary suffering and sending many people to an early grave. It is part of a grotesque food-pharma conveyor belt that results in massive profits for the dominant agrifood and pharmaceuticals corporations.
Epstein Victim Found Dead after Testifying against Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell
Earlier this year, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. She also testified in support of fellow Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s rape allegations against Britain’s Prince Andrew.

The TSA wants to put a government tracking app on your smartphone
We’ve seen the ways that government-mandated tracking apps on citizens’ smartphones are used by the government of China, and that’s not an example we want the US to follow.

Egypt Mulls Allowing Refugees Entry As Over 600,000 Gazans Move South; FBI Warns Of Hamas Attacks On US Soil
After giving the northern Gaza strip an evacuation ultimatum on Friday, Israel has so far withheld from launching a "significant" ground operation, with some speculating that requests from the US to evacuate all US citizens out of Palestine ahead of the invasion is what is holding Israel back. Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday said that if Israeli “war crimes & genocide” are not stopped, the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.” Meanwhile, Axios reported that Tehran has sent Jerusalem a message through the UN that it will intervene if the campaign in Gaza continues, and particularly if it launches a ground offensive.
What Happens After Israel Flattens Gaza?
While Israel has been committing atrocities against Palestinians for decades, the flagrancy and ferocity of this looks different than what we have seen in the past.
World Economic Forum Calls For “Collective Action” To Fight “Misinformation” and “Disinformation”
First, they purposefully destroy something, and then they want to “get the contract” to rebuild it. Would you trust somebody with the job – if the above statement referred to, say, your house?
Trudeau regime puts Canadian detective on trial for investigating link between infant deaths and mRNA vaccines
To most American readers, what you are about to read will be unfathomable; to me, a jaded, bitter, Canadian who has already fled the country for greener pastures, this story is mundane. Sadly, this is just what life is like in Canada now. The crime that Constable Helen Grus—a 20-year veteran detective with the sexual assault and child abuse unit of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS)—her two recent performance reviews in 2019 and 2021 were, “Meets and exceeds expectations; exceeds all expectations”—is accused of, is crazy.
Technocrats In The European Union Quietly Roll Out Identity Wallet
The European Commission frequently plays up the digital wallet’s convenience, with messaging boasting that users will be able to use the Wallets to check into hotels, file tax returns, rent cars, and securely open bank accounts. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted the following in a 2020 State of the Union address, where she proposed the concept of a “secure European e-identity:”
The US knew the president of Honduras was trafficking drugs. It supported him anyway
Just weeks after the 2014 inauguration of former Honduran President, Juan Orlando Hernández, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) learned the country’s new leader was deeply embedded with the country’s mammoth narco trafficking network. Yet months after the ostensibly anti-drug agency obtained video evidence demonstrating that Hernández “effectively authorized drug trafficking” in Honduras, the DEA rolled out the red carpet for the Honduran president at their Northern Virginia command and control center.

Biden White House Walks Back Claim He Saw Pictures of 'Terrorists Beheading Children,' Admits He Has 'Not Seen Pictures or Confirmed Such Reports'
Ben David's tweet was 'liked' on Twitter by Israel's-then Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a move which prompted 22 legal scholars to call on the Attorney General to open an investigation into the official for "inducing war crimes." When Smotrich later echoed Ben David, calling to "wipe out" Huwara the following month, the US Department of State condemned his rhetoric as "dangerous."
It's A Trap! The Wave Of Repercussions As The Middle East Fights “The Last War”
Over and over again, humanity reaches for Elysium on Earth only to be slapped back down. The survivors then build grass huts on top of the ruins of the old empires and they start over from scratch. Why does the Bronze Age catastrophe matter? Obviously, because history tends to rhyme.
Evidence Mounts That Israeli Intelligence Allowed Hamas Attack to Occur
In such situations, it’s also wise to ask the golden question: Cui bono? Who benefits?
PSYOP ISRAEL WAR?
Was one of the most technologically advanced and genetically modified nations on the planet somehow unable to detect and prevent the various exceedingly crude Hamas attacks?
The Rise of Pharma Fascism and the Ruination of the Commons
“The commons” is a foundational idea in left political philosophy. The commons refers to shared spaces — oceans, lakes, rivers, forests, the air — that are not owned by anyone. It can also refer to cultural spaces — the town square for example. I could make a case that the internet is a commons — even though there are millions of individual owners of particular spaces no one owns the whole thing.
