Iraq and the U.S.-led coalition concluded a final round of technical talks to formally transition from a combat mission tasked with rooting out the extremist Islamic State group to an advisory mission to assist Iraqi forces, security officials and the coalition announced Thursday.

The talks — which centered on the transition — formally end the coalition's combat mission, tweeted Qassim al-Araji, Iraq's national security advisor. He said the coalition would continue providing assistance, advice and training for Iraqi forces.

The announcement reaffirms a July decision by the Biden administration to end the U.S. combat mission in Iraq by Dec. 31. There are roughly 2,500 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq. It is unclear how many will remain in the next phase of coalition assistance.

Coalition commander Maj. Gen. John Brennan stated:
"Many brave men and women gave their lives to ensure Daesh never returns, and as we complete our combat role, we will remain here to advise, assist and enable the Iraqi Security Forces. The war against IS was not over. Daesh is down, but not out."

SOTT Focus: Bobby Kennedy Jr on Fauci's Pandemic: 'Apocalyptical Forces of Ignorance And Greed Are Ushering in Totalitarianism'

This is the face of Technocracy, aka Scientific Dictatorship. Social engineering and herd management principals are elevated to a status of 'prime directive' and then quietly executed behind the curtain. Now, that curtain is being ripped apart, exposing total disregard for human life and wellbeing. - Technocracy News Editor
fauci book Kennedy
We're facing the greatest battle of our lifetimes, possibly of all time, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in this riveting interview with James Corbett.1 I urge you to set aside 60 minutes to watch it in its entirety, as it succinctly sums up the coalition of sinister forces — intelligence agencies, pharmaceutical companies, social media titans, medical bureaucracies, mainstream media and the military — that are using a health crisis to impose totalitarian control worldwide.

You can find all of the details in Kennedy's bestselling book, The Real Anthony Fauci, which contains more than 2,200 footnotes backing up its data. The truth is, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) — isn't acting alone.

But he's become the prominent face of the medical cartel and medical technocracy that is wrapped up in obliterating constitutional rights globally. And, as an authoritative medical figure and trusted adviser to six presidents, Fauci's words are treated as gospel, despite the atrocities he's committed.

Comment: You can visit Mercola's website here, while it's still online. Both he and Kennedy are practically 'enemies of the state' at this point, so it's likely they will soon be silenced for good.

Biden: US troops in Ukraine 'not on the table' to deter Russia

President Biden said Wednesday he would not deploy US troops to Ukraine to deter a possible Russian invasion, telling reporters the option was "not on the table."

Biden added as he departed the White House for a trip to Kansas City, Mo. that he informed Russian President Vladimir Putin during a Tuesday call between the leaders that there would be "severe consequences" if Moscow orders an attack.

When asked about the Putin call, Biden initially joked to a reporter that the Russian leader "asked about you a lot, he talked about you a lot."

When the reporter pressed, "can you answer my question," the president turned serious.

"I was very straightforward. There were no minced words. It was polite, but I made it very clear," Biden said. "If, in fact, he invades Ukraine, there will be severe consequences, severe consequences. Economic consequences like none he's ever seen or ever have been seen."

Facebook admits 'fact checks' are nothing more than opinion in court!

People send me stuff.

As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook's 'fact checkers' labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as "false and misleading". In the middle of all this is the nefarious website "Climate Feedback" which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are "fact checks" for articles, videos, and news stories they disagree with.

Facebook just blew the "fact check" claim right out of the water in court.

In its response to Stossel's defamation claim, Facebook responds on Page 2, Line 8 in the court document (download it below) that Facebook cannot be sued for defamation (which is making a false and harmful assertion) because its 'fact checks' are mere statements of opinion rather than factual assertions.

Opinions are not subject to defamation claims, while false assertions of fact can be subject to defamation. The quote in Facebook's complaint is,
"The labels themselves are neither false nor defamatory; to the contrary, they constitute protected opinion."

Senate votes to nix Biden's vaccine mandate for businesses

Senate Republicans
The Senate on Wednesday voted to nix President Biden's vaccine mandate for larger businesses, handing Republicans a symbolic win.

Senators voted 52-48 on the resolution, which needed a simple majority to be approved. Democratic Sens. Jon Tester (Mont.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.) voted with Republicans, giving it enough support to be sent to the House.

The resolution faces an uphill path in the House, where Republicans aren't able to use a similar fast-track process to force a vote over the objections of Democratic leadership. Instead, Republicans are hoping to get the simple majority needed to force a vote through a discharge petition, which will require support from a handful of House Democrats.

But Republicans view Wednesday's Senate vote as a significant win, and it's the first time they've been able to use the Congressional Review Act to successfully get a resolution targeting a Biden rule through the Senate.

The rule, published through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), orders businesses with at least 100 employees to require that their workers to get vaccinated or undergo regular testing by Jan. 4.

But Republicans believe that it constitutes federal government overreach and violates American workers' civil liberties.

Mark Meadows sues Nancy Pelosi and every member of January 6 Committee: 'unconstitutional'

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sued Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and every member of the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack on Wednesday, claiming that it is unconstitutionally usurping executive branch authority.

The lawsuit, filed in the federal district court for the District of Columbia, came after the chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-GA), wrote to Meadows's attorney earlier Wednesday to say that the committee would pursue criminal contempt charges against Meadows.


That came after Meadows's attorney wrote to the committee on Tuesday to say that Meadows could not cooperate with the committee because it was attempting to subpoena his private telephone records from his cell phone provider, Verizon.

Comment: Good on Meadows. If the Dems and the Deep State-run Department of Justice (in Bannon's case) intend to continue the prosecute bullshit charade of the Jan. 6 insurrection narrative - then let them work for it!

What Putin really told Biden

Russian and US leaders dropped their respective rhetorical gauntlets but nobody really expects Russia to invade Ukraine

So Russian President Vladimir Putin, by himself, and United States President Joe Biden, surrounded by aides, finally had their secret video link conference for two hours and two minutes - with translators placed in different rooms.

That was their first serious exchange since they met in person in Geneva last June - the first Russia-US summit since 2018. For global public opinion, led to believe a "war" in Ukraine was all but imminent, what's left is essentially a torrent of spin.

So let's start with a simple exercise focusing on the key issue of the video link - Ukraine - contrasting the White House and Kremlin versions of what transpired.

The White House: Biden made it "clear" to Putin that the US and allies will respond with "decisive economic and other measures" to a military escalation in Ukraine. At the same time, Biden called on Putin to de-escalate around Ukraine and "return to diplomacy."

Kremlin: Putin offered Biden to nullify all restrictions on the functioning of diplomatic missions. He remarked that cooperation between Russia and the US is still in an "unsatisfactory" state.

Comment: A better example of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object cannot be had in contemporary geopolitical history; the US drive for world hegemony (coming at great cost to the rest of the world) is being effectively blocked by the Russian Federation's will to remain sovereign and to protect its own interests (and those it has economic and political partnerships with).

Back and forth it goes - with the stakes and risks being driven inexorably higher.

A picture of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein relaxing in the Queen's log cabin at Balmoral has been shown at her sex trafficking trial.

Wearing a blue checked shirt, the British socialite is seen resting her arm on Epstein's knee as they sit in the exact same spot in the hut in Glen Beg that the Queen has been pictured relaxing in.

Although it is not clear when the image was taken, it was previously reported that the former couple were invited to Balmoral by Prince Andrew in 1999.

The jury in Maxwell's trial in New York were shown the image and many others of the couple yesterday as prosecutors characterised them as 'partners in crime'.

Israeli media is widely reporting that the country's leaders will press the Biden administration in a series of meetings in Washington this week to authorize military strikes on Iranian targets.

"Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Mossad chief David Barnea will push during their meetings this week in Washington with senior Biden administration officials for the United States to carry out a military strike on Iranian targets, Israel's three main TV news broadcasts reported Sunday night," The Times of Israel reports.

Beginning days ago, and for the first time, the Israeli government shifted its stance on the Vienna nuclear talks. While it's long been on record as opposing a restored Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal, Tel Aviv is urging for the complete abandonment of any level of dialogue between Washington and Tehran whatsoever.

Viganò: "Those who resist the NWO will have the help and protection of God"

There is a man that in this moment terrifies the hierarchy of the anti-Catholic church of Bergoglio. This man has been the object of tremendous and evil attacks by the mainstream media. They have been trying to smear him and depict him as a criminal or like someone who is putting society in great danger. This man is Archbishop Viganò. His Excellency has become like a polar star of hope for those Catholics and even non-believers who have thirst for justice and common sense in this upside-down world. Viganò has been speaking calmly but his gentle voice has terrified the powerful people of the world. Viganò has exposed the Great Reset and the plan to destroy mankind. He clearly denounced the infiltration of Freemasonry into society and into the Church.

In other words, Viganò is guilty of having said the truth like a humble pastor of God. In this interview that His Excellency granted us, he once again tells us in what kind of historical period we are living. He also consoles us by reminding us that being persecuted for loving God and having Faith is the greatest honor that we may have. This is probably why so many people look at this man in this historical period. He's one of the few pastors that can speak simply to the hearts of the common men. Here you can find his words addressed to any one of us."
