Iran warns US attack on nuclear sites will lead to ‘all-out war in the region’
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tells Al Jazeera that launching a military attack on Iranian nuclear sites would be “one of the biggest historical mistakes the US could make.”
Araghchi says Tehran will respond “immediately and decisively” if its nuclear sites are attacked, which will lead to “all-out war in the region.”
Trump and Netanyahu expected to meet twice in Washington on Tuesday, Axios reports
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to meet twice in Washington on Tuesday, once for a work meeting and then for an informal dinner, Axios reports.
The work meeting is expected around noon Eastern Time (1700 GMT) and then the two leaders will dine with their spouses, Axios reports, citing an unidentified source.
Report: Israel believes Hamas won’t agree to free all living hostages in 2nd deal phase
Israeli officials assess that Hamas will not agree to free all living hostages in a second stage of the ceasefire deal, as they are its insurance policy vis-à-vis Israel, Channel 12 news reports, without citing its sources.
For this reason, those officials tell the network they believe there will be no choice but to return to fighting after the first phase ends.
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel and Hamas agreed to a 42-day first phase that will see the return of 33 hostages. They will soon start holding talks on a potential second stage. That phase, if agreed on, would see the release of all remaining living hostages in return for a permanent ceasefire. Remaining bodies would be returned in a third phase.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security assessment on possible scenarios today as the first phase continues.
Bargaining For Human Life: While Israel Celebrates, The Terrorists Plot Out Their Next Opportunity
How did we get to this point where we are releasing such a great number of criminals for just a handful of hostages? Two words – bad policy! Every government and law enforcement agency in the world knows that you do not bargain for hostages. If you do and the bad guys actually hold up to their end of the deal, then you get a momentary dose of joy. But while you’re celebrating, the terrorists are plotting the next time when they’ll up the ante for a release.
It used to be that Israel was known for not negotiating with terrorists, but that began to change a number of decades ago. In 1968, an El Al plane in Algeria with 48 passengers on board was released in return for 24 terrorists who had no blood on their hands. Forty-one years later, the same price – 24 terrorists – was doled out simply to get video footage of a single kidnapped Israeli soldier. Talk about a horrific inflation!
Giving in once means you’ll be forced to give in again and again at ever-increasing prices. The depths to which we sank was evidenced when Israel was forced in 2011 to turn over 1,027 Palestinian prisoners for the return of a single IDF soldier, Gil Shalit. Don’t get me wrong, I wept when I saw the helicopter flying overhead returning Shalit to our land. I am so grateful to have him and all hostages home. But our short-term gain has caused us long-term pain. In fact, Yahya Sinwar, the late, bloodthirsty leader of Hamas in Gaza, was among whose exchanged for Shalit’s life. For all the strength of our army, the terrorists know our weak spot. They take our people, and we’ll eventually cave.
Ceasefire in Gaza
As the IDF dilutes its forces in Gaza, Hamas is coming back out of their holes. The white pickups are back all over Gaza, and uniformed men are once again being celebrated by young and old on the streets. It will be interesting to see whether that enthusiasm for Hamas will continue once the refugees returning to the north see what is left of their cities. Of course, fingers of blame will be pointed at Israel. But there will be many who put two and two together to recognize that it was the actions of their own local terrorist army that led to their homes being flattened like a piece of naan.
Ceasefire in Lebanon
Sunday was the deadline for all IDF troops to be out of Lebanon, according to the western brokered ceasefire deal. However, Israel says that Lebanon is not holding up its end of the bargain, and the Lebanese are saying that the Israelis are dragging their feet on the withdrawal. When the deadline came, a mass march pushed toward the Israeli army after being warned away. The IDF opened fire and 22 people were killed. Now, the ceasefire deadline has been extended to February 18. Peace in the region will only come when the Lebanese in the south choose safety and normalcy over Hezbollah.
Syria Liberation Day
If you have your calendars handy, mark down December 8 as a special day. That is the holiday that newly installed (as of yesterday) president of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has created to celebrate the fall of the Assad regime. Feel free to commemorate accordingly.
With al-Sharaa in office, other Syrian revolutionary factions are dissolving and merging within the Ministry of Defense to form a new Syrian military. Thankfully for Israel, that military is not directed beyond its southern border. The last thing the Syrians want to do right now is pick a fight with Israel. With Iran failing them and the U.S. looking over their shoulders, al-Sharaa’s government is going to focus on pressing internal needs, like quelling resistance from the Druze in the south and the Kurds in the north.
Israel, meanwhile, is going to take advantage of Syria’s preoccupation. The IDF is determined to remain on the summit of Mount Hermon and down in the security zone for an unlimited amount of time, ensuring safety from that part of the border.
They Really Do Want Us To Be Weak Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Financially And Spiritually
He really nailed it.
We were created to be independent beings, but the elite are constantly attempting to make us as dependent as possible.
Here in the United States, we are supposed to be the most prosperous nation on the entire planet.
And yet most of us are living like servants.
When I was growing up, $80,000 sounded like an enormous mountain of money. And it actually was a very significant amount of money in those days. But in 2025 it just doesn’t go that far. Today, the median household income in the U.S. is approximately $80,000 a year. Approximately half of all U.S. households make more than that, and approximately half of all U.S. households make less than that. So if your family earns $80,000 in 2025 that would put you about right in the middle.
So can a typical family of four survive on $80,000 in America today?
The answer might surprise you.
Over the past four years, the cost of living has been rising much faster than our paychecks have.
$80,000 breaks down to about $6,666 a month. So how far will $6,666 a month stretch for a family of four in today’s economy?….
First of all, our hypothetical family of four needs a place to live. As I discussed the other day, the household income required to purchase a typical home in the U.S. has more than tripled since January 2012. At this point, the average mortgage payment in the U.S. is about $2,200.
So after paying the mortgage, we only have $4,466 left.
Next, our family of four has to pay for utilities for their home. According to Google AI, the average U.S. household spends $600 a month on their utilities bills.
So now we only have $3,866 left.
Our hypothetical family of four is also going to need health insurance. According to Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, a typical family of four will spend $1,437 a month on health insurance.
Ouch.
Now we only have $1,629 left.
Our hypothetical family is also going to have to eat. Let’s assume that our family clips coupons and cuts corners any way that it can and only spends about $50 for each member of the family on food and toiletries each week. That works out to a total of $800 a month for the entire family.
I know that number may seem way too low to many of you, but let’s go with it.
That brings our remaining cash down to just $829.
Needless to say, our hypothetical family will also need to buy gasoline to get to and from work each week. Let’s assume that they don’t live too far from work and only need to fill up both vehicles about once per week. That would give them a gasoline bill of about $50 a week or $200 a month. Of course if either of them has a long commute to work or if a lot of extra driving is required for other reasons this expense could be far, far higher.
After everything that we have gone through so far, we actually have $629 left.
That is a reason to celebrate, right?
Wrong.
We haven’t taken federal, state and local taxes out of the paycheck yet.
Federal, state and local taxes will reduce your paycheck by about one-fourth.
So after taxes, we are now $1,371 in the hole.
Up to this point we have assumed that our family does not have any credit card debt or student loan debt at all. If they do, those payments will have to be made as well.
In addition, the budget above includes no money for clothing, no money for dining out, no money for additional entertainment, no money for medications, no money for pets, no money for hobbies, no money for life insurance, no money for vacations, no money for vehicle repairs and maintenance, no money for child care, no money for birthday or holiday gifts, and no money for retirement.
On top of everything else, if our family of four has a catastrophic health expense that health insurance will not pay for, then our hypothetical family of four is suddenly facing a complete and utter financial catastrophe.
Are you starting to get the picture?
Most of us are just desperately trying to find a way to scrape by from month to month, and that is the way that the elite like it.
Do you feel like you are a hamster on a wheel that is never really getting anywhere?
Well, the truth is that what you are feeling is very real, because the entire system has been designed to keep us all trapped for as long as possible.
It is time to wake up, get strong, and realize what life is really all about.
You were not designed to be a cog in their machine.
If you don’t take control of your life, someone else will.
I promise you that.
If you don’t want to be a hamster on a wheel, stop listening to their lies and start living the way that you were designed to live.
We were meant to be free, but the elite will happily keep you enslaved if you allow them to do so.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem halts grant funding to NGOs caught facilitating illegal immigration
In a move that sent shockwaves through the progressive community, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday that all grant funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) facilitating illegal immigration has been halted. The decision, made public during an interview on Fox News’s Will Cain Show, comes in the wake of recent accusations that these NGOs have been misusing millions of taxpayer dollars to incentivize illegal crossings into the United States.
Noem’s remarks underscored deep concerns about the misuse of federal funds. “It’s amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country,” she told Cain. “So, I’ve taken action to stop those funds, to reevaluate them, and to make sure that we’re actually using the taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country that keeps us safe.”
The halt in funding will be followed by a 90-day review, during which Noem’s department will reevaluate the utilization of the funds previously allocated to these organizations. The secretary emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in government spending, stating, “I think people are curious when we look at grants that are given out by federal agencies at how they’re utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done.”
The decision to suspend funding is not without precedent. In 2023, NewsNation reported that NGOs were using federal dollars to move illegal immigrants around the country and that the Biden administration’s DHS had failed to keep track of which groups were receiving money and how the funds were being spent. This lack of oversight, critics argue, has enabled NGOs to exploit their status for political gain, acting as magnets for illegal border crossings.
Texas Republican Lance Gooden provided a detailed explanation of his opposition to funding NGOs that cater to illegal migrants. In a statement posted on his congressional website, Gooden wrote, “These organizations, understanding the benefits of NGO status, have been exploiting the humanitarian banner to incentivize illegal immigration across our borders. They receive taxpayer dollars to house, feed, and transport illegal immigrants across the United States. Their services act as a magnet for illegal immigrants looking to enter our country.”
Gooden’s concerns are shared by many in Congress who view such practices as undermining the efforts of individuals who have gone through the legal process to immigrate into the United States. “When NGOs enable illegal border crossings, they create avenues that can be exploited by individuals who pose a risk to our security,” he added, concluding, “This practice undermines the efforts of countless individuals who’ve gone through the legal process to immigrate into our country.”
Noem’s decision marks a significant shift in the administration’s approach to addressing illegal immigration. By halting funding to NGOs accused of facilitating illegal crossings, the DHS chief is taking a bold step towards enforcing President Trump’s promises on border security and deportation. The 90-day review will undoubtedly shed light on the misuse of federal funds and provide a roadmap for more effective and accountable government spending. In a time when security and accountability are paramount, the actions of Kristi Noem serve as a clarion call to action, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used to strengthen and protect the nation.
Is Zelensky the Legitimate Head of Ukraine?
Australian parliamentarian John Ruddick: The climate change movement is the “new communism”
Australian parliamentarian John Ruddick says that ending globalist institutions like NATO, the United Nations and the European Union is a massive step towards renewal for Australia, Europe and America.
Rudduck also called the man-made climate change movement the “new communism.”
The second Make Europe Great Again (“MEGA”) conference was held at the European Parliament Building in Brussels, Belgium, this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was organised by European anti-globalist groups to bring together leaders from various countries. Discussions focussed on preserving identity, freedom and the values that have shaped European societies, as well as strategies to combat the globalist left’s influence.
Hosted by the Alliance for Unified Romanians and the European Conservatives and Reformists, the summit welcomed over 500 leaders from countries including the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Romania, Argentina, Sweden and Poland.
John Ruddick, an Australian parliamentarian from New South Wales, attended the event and joined Liberty Sentinel on the sidelines to give his thoughts.
“I think the extraordinary rise and recent success of Donald Trump is going to trickle down to the rest of the world,” Mr. Ruddick said citing Margaret Thatcher as the last time this phenomenon occurred. “The Trump effect has shifted the whole world a few degrees to the right, the rational right.”
In the 1990s, Australia implemented significant gun law reforms known as the National Firearms Agreement (“NFA”). The NFA introduced stricter regulations on gun ownership which effectively removed the right for many Australians to own certain types of firearms and made it more difficult to legally possess guns.
“[The EU] is now a very powerful political organisation … it’s more powerful in many ways than most of the national parliaments of its member states. So [the Libertarian Party of Australia is] very against the European Union, what it’s morphed into,” he said.
Speaking of NATO, Mr. Ruddick said, “I’m absolutely convinced it is largely driven by money. These defence contractors – it’s the biggest industry in the world, the biggest legal industry in the world.”
Mr. Ruddick said that the reason why the West and Russia are not currently “friends” is because of Bill Clinton. “Silly Bill Clinton in 1997 got hoodwinked by the defence contractors who said, ‘Oh we gotta expand NATO East’. The defence contractors were doing that because when Poland joined NATO then Poland had to reorganise its military to be able to fit in with the NATO protocols, so they spent a lot of money. And the defence contractors liked that.”
“And now [NATO] has surrounded Russia,” he said. “We should be trying to find ways to have long-term peace and goodwill with Russia.”
Liberty Sentinel’s Andrew Muller then asked Mr. Ruddick what his thoughts were on the United Nations (“UN”) and the climate change agenda.
“I know climate politics is a big deal in the United States; it’s five to ten times bigger in Australia. It’s obsessive,” Mr. Ruddick said.
“I call it ‘global boiling’ because the UN Secretary-General, the Portuguese guy, a couple of years ago there were a few hot days in Europe – these things happen, it happened in the Roman times – but during those three hot days, unusually hot days, he said, ‘The era of global warming is over we’re now entering the era of global boiling’.”
“That was so absurd,” Mr Ruddick said laughing, “that no one has repeated it since. But he hasn’t retracted it and he was the Un Secretary-General. So, I’m thinking, ‘Global boiling it is because it’s absurd’. I’ll stop using it if the Secretary-General says, ‘Oh well, I did go too far there’.”
Mr. Ruddick recommends people watch a film released in 2024 by Joel Gilbert titled ‘The Climate According to AI Al Gore’. We have embedded a trailer for the film below Mr. Ruddick’s conversation with Liberty Sentinel.
Syria can’t rebuild without Russia
Syria’s interim government faces numerous challenges as it sets about rebuilding the country following the downfall of Bashar Assad on December 8. Led by Ahmad As-Sharaa, the new leadership is striving for national reconciliation while simultaneously confronting ongoing instability.
The foreign minister of the interim government, Asaad Hassan Al-Shaibani, has said that “the joy of the people will remain incomplete”until Syria’s territorial integrity is fully restored and displaced persons and refugees return to their homeland. According to the United Nations, more than 115,000 people have returned to Syria since the fall of Assad. However, a significant number of Syrians remain outside the country.
The Geopolitics of Elite Insanity
See, for example:
Ben Norton’s claim that ‘BRICS… will change the world’ in ‘BRICS expands with 9 new partner countries. Now it’s half of world population, 41% of global economy’.
Of course, more astute analysts are clearly seeing through the facade and exposing how the BRICS countries are simply implementing the same technocratic program as countries outside the BRICS. See, for example, Riley Waggaman’s ‘Would you like to know what BRICS just declared?’
The point is simple: Beneath any superficial differences between what BRICS countries (sometimes now referred to as BRICS+ given the recent accession of another five members) might be doing that appears to be reshaping planetary geopolitics into a multipolar world order that will somehow supersede the US-led unipolar world order, lies a deeper and darker truth.
This truth is that the Global Elite is rapidly and progressively transforming the entire world into a planetary technocracy populated by transhuman slaves.
This means that perceptions that are limited to longstanding worldviews that see the world as statist and/or capitalist/socialist, for example, miss or misperceive the profound changes that are taking place.
The geopolitical world does not revolve around sovereign nation-states because no nation is sovereign. That is, no government of a nation-state is able to exercise independent and ultimate authority over all of its (internal and external) affairs.
Of course, this has long been the case as explained by preeminent historian Professor Carroll Quigley in his classic work published in 1966. See Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. pp.5-6.
And that is precisely what the Elite intends.
After all, the most effective way to thwart opposition to any program is to make sure that any potential opponents do not understand the rules of the game (including, in this case, who exercises effective power in the world system) while making sure that these potential opponents are given a lot of noisy and colorful distractions (such as regular elections and other party-political processes, not to mention art and sport in various forms) to keep the bulk of them occupied at the same time.
So if Russia and China are already advanced technocratic states, what about other BRICS countries?
Well, even if we consider just three of the most critical foundational components necessary to build a technocratic state – deployment of 5G, digital identity and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) – it turns out that the other BRICS countries are all well advanced.
Despite the well-documented electromagnetic dangers of 5G, the technology has already been extensively rolled out in these countries: ‘5G Progress Report: Brazil’, ‘5G rollout in India fastest in the world, officials say’ and ‘5G rocking in South Africa’.
No government is free of Elite control. Governments are simply Elite agents doing what they are told by various Elite agents in banking, foreign policy, technology and other contexts.
Fundamentally, the Elite program is killing off the bulk of the human population and using a range of technologies to technocratically enslave those transhumans left alive in a ‘smart city’ prison.
This program advances rapidly while our ignorance and fear means that most people fail to perceive the true nature of the threats, who is driving them and what is necessary to resist them effectively.
This means that even those people who claim to be aware are usually trapped taking some powerless action (such as signing a petition to a government, changing their vote at the next election, demonstrating in the street) rather than acting powerfully to defend themselves against the Elite by resisting its imperatives.
The reality is that you can defend yourself quite effectively by taking the actions nominated in ‘We Are Human We Are Free’ but we need enough people taking these actions to defeat the entire program or the Elite will simply use its transhuman and robot agents to hunt us down once those who readily complied are already dead or imprisoned.
Our fight is with the Global Elite. Not your government, an international organization or anyone else.
The Eight Stages Of The Civilization’s Collapse
- Financial Decay
One of the most visible outward expressions of a collapse is the bottom falling out of the financial system. From double, triple, or higher-digit inflation pricing people out of basic necessities to dramatic market declines evaporating a lifetime’s accumulated wealth instantly, economic collapse can aggravate other conditions that can domino into a full-on failure. Many market collapses actually have a long build-up. The housing bubble, the commercial real estate bubble, trade wars, and the loss of faith over time in a single fiat currency all happen slowly over the years and then reach a tipping point. In some cases, the ultra-wealthy cheer on the decline in some ways as they profit off selling short and feel that they can maintain profits by shifting their money to other assets or more stable countries. However, that doesn’t always work as assets are often frozen, withdrawal limits are established, or the currency becomes so devalued that it doesn’t retain any fluidity. Nobody wants it nor transacts in it anymore.
- Agricultural Decline
The rise of agriculture also gave rise to cities, states, and nations. Without harnessing nature in agricultural practices, thereby increasing yield and concentration of food sources, nations would have never formed out of nomadic, hunter-gatherer groups. While weather patterns may be perfect for agriculture in a particular area for several centuries, they can change. The lack of floods in the Nile contributed to a dramatic decline in food production in the 13th century. Excessive rain in 14th-century Britain caused massive crop failures that resulted in massive food shortages. The Irish Potato Famine, also known as the Great Hunger, began in 1845 when a mold caused a destructive plant disease that spread rapidly throughout Ireland. While the Egyptians, British, and Irish survived the downturn, they all suffered through what can only be described as a period of collapse.
