The tensions between the two sides have escalated recently, following Israel's killing of Baha Abu al-Atta, a top commander from the Islamic Jihad group in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces fired a rocket at a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defence Forces reported on Friday. According to the military, it was a retaliatory attack, as another rocket fired from Gaza targeted Israeli positions earlier in the day.

Iraqi PM submits resignation, but protests continue

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi
Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi
Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi stated earlier that he had paid heed to the message of the Iraqi Shiite religious authority about the severe situation in the country and the incapability of the authorities to deal with the problem over the last two months.

The prime minister has submitted his resignation letter to the parliament, following weeks of protests in Iraq, local media reported.

Adel Abdul Mahdi earlier promised to resign after Iraqi President Barham Salih said that the prime minister was ready to step down amid nationwide protests. This happened shortly after influential Shiite politician Muqtada Sadr, one of the leaders of the Sairoon parliamentary bloc, together with other political parties pushed for a no-confidence vote in the government.

Prior to this, 66 Iraqi officers stood trial for excessive use of force against protesters. According to the Iraqi Health Ministry, the death toll from the protests is currently 400 people. About 15,000 people have reportedly been injured in the clashes with police.

Comment: Violent clashes during the latest protests resulted in 45 dead and 150 wounded across the country. The protests continue, despite Mahdi promising to step down.

Global tax cometh!

Global Tax
© Corbett Report
The New World Order's global(ist) government has just proposed a new global taxation regime to solidify their control over the tax cattle on the human plantation we call planet Earth. . . .

. . . But perhaps you missed that story when it ran in the controlled corporate media last month. Maybe that's because the New York Times went with the headline "Tech Giants Shift Profits to Avoid Taxes. There's a Plan to Stop Them."

And maybe you missed it when the global government put out its press release announcing its intentions in October. Maybe that's because the globalists are hiding behind the moniker "The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development" (OECD) and titled their document announcing the scheme "Secretariat Proposal for a 'Unified Approach' under Pillar One."

In fact, you could be forgiven for missing this story given the way it has been non-announced and un-reported. "Secretariat Proposal for a 'Unified Approach' under Pillar One"? What does that hodgepodge of bureaucratic gobbledygook even mean?

If you're like 99.9% of the public, those words, when presented without context, would mean absolutely nothing to you. And if you're like 99.99% of the public you probably dozed off just reading that title. (And if you think that's bad, just wait until you get to the action-packed, informative first sentence of the document's introduction: "The tax challenges of the digitalisation of the economy were identified as one of the main areas of focus of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan, leading to the 2015 BEPS Action 1 Report.")

Yes, the most important and horrific pieces of legislation are presented to the public under false cover, either by naming it the opposite of what it is — USA FREEDOM Act, anyone? — or by giving it an incomprehensible and thoroughly uninteresting title and spelling it out in impenetrable legalese.

So what's the real story here, and what does it mean for the future of free humanity? Let's roll up our sleeves and find out, shall we?

French President says Russia, China are not NATO's Common Enemies -- Terrorism Is

Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he stands by comments he made three weeks ago when he described NATO as "brain-dead," and he defended his push for dialogue with Russia.

In a November 7 interview with the Economist magazine, Macron deplored a lack of strategic cooperation among NATO members, and pointed to what he saw as a waning commitment to the Western military alliance by the United States.

Comment: The Saker: President Macron makes an amazing admission about Western geopolitics
Now we should not be naïve here, Macron did not suddenly find religion, grow a conscience or suddenly become an expert on international relations. There is, of course, a cynical reason why he is changing his tune. In fact, there are several such reasons. First, it appears that the on and off bromance between Macron and Trump is over. Second, all of Europe is in free fall socially, economically and, of course, politically. And with a total nutcase in power in London dealing with Brexit and with Angela Merkel's apparently never-ending political agony, it is only logical for a French head of state to try to step in. Furthermore, while I have always said that Russia is not part of Europe culturally and spiritually, Russia is very much part of Europe geographically, economically and politically and there is simply no way for any imaginable alliance of European states to save Europe from its current predicament without Russian help. Like it or not, that is a fact, irrespective of whether politician or commentator X, Y or Z realizes this or not. Macron probably figured out that the so-called "East Europeans" are nothing but cheap prostitutes doing whatever Uncle Shmuel wants them to do, Germany is collapsing under the weight of Merkel's "brilliant" immigration policy while the UK under BoJo is busy trying to self-destruct at least as fast as the US under Trump. Macron is right. If united, Russia and France could build a much safer Europe than the one we see slowly and painfully dying before our eyes today.

This is probably the best televised expose of corruption in Israel. At the moment Israel's longest-serving leader is indicted for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Netanyahu becomes first sitting prime minister in Israel's history to be charged with bribery. This episode goes into detail on bribery charges against Israeli officials.

Met Police claim it's 'not appropriate authority' to investigate Epstein's sex trafficking of minors to UK

© Mark Harrison/BBCAndrew in his Newsnight interview
The Metropolitan Police has said it stands by its decision not to investigate claims by the Duke of York's accuser Virginia Giuffre that she was sex trafficked to London by Jeffrey Epstein.

The force added officers had spoken to other law enforcement agencies but have "not received a formal request asking for assistance".

It said it reviewed its previous decision that it was "not the appropriate authority to conduct enquiries in these circumstances" following Epstein's death in August, and that its position remained unchanged.

Panorama's interview with Ms Guiffre is to be broadcast on Monday. She alleges the duke slept with her on three separate occasions.

Comment: But when it comes to easier targets that threaten the establishment, like Julian Assange, UK police will jump on any baseless accusations and synchronize with international authorities to hound the subject to near death. Alleged pervert, Prince Andrew, must be relieved:


Oil Well

Syria is not the only country where the US is occupying oil fields - Remember Libya?

us soldier
The US has had a military presence in the Middle East for years now. However, the fight against global terrorism is only a smokescreen, veiling what the US truly aims to achieve with its military presence in the region. What the Americans have always really been interested in is oil, and not only the profit they can make from selling it; oil can also be used to control politics in a regional military dictatorship.

There have been many articles published in the international media about Washington's aggressive policy in Syria over the past few days, quoting the words of US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who said that the US military will "protect the Syrian oil fields", even without UN Security Council sanctions and against the will of the official Syrian Arab Republic's authorities, from threats including the Syrian authorities, who are the true owners of Syria's natural resources.

Since occupying Syria in 2013, the US has been pumping out the bowels of the earth in Syria in violation of all international laws. Washington has been conducting this criminal business, protected by both US army soldiers and contracted backup from the Blackwater private military company (PMC), now known as Academi. These mercenaries work together with the US military to protect caravans of Syrian oil, as it is transported through Qamishli to the Syrian border with Iraq and then through the Tel Kocher border crossing. After that, the oil is sold as an Iraqi product. According to some reports, Washington recently increased the number of Blackwater PMC mercenaries notorious for bringing bloodshed to many parts of the world, on the territory of Syria's oil-rich Deir ez-Zor Governorate (province) to 2500. Anyone can see that contracting private military companies has obvious benefits: the Pentagon's statistics on lives lost in military operations are not upset, and the private companies earn millions of dollars from state contracts and share this profit with their patrons in Washington.

Flashback Best of the Web: MI5 'repeatedly' prevented Scotland Yard from prosecuting Islamist terrorist-recruiter Anjem Choudary


Comment: Usman Khan, the stabby-jihadi shot dead on London Bridge yesterday was a 'student and personal friend' of the following character, Anjem Choudary, the British intelligence asset who - among other things - got his 'students' to wave those ridiculous placards demanding 'Sharia Law NOW!' in the immediate years after 9/11.


Anjem Choudary
© LUKE MACGREGOR/REUTERSAnjem Choudary has been at the forefront of radical Islam in Britain for two decades
The security services repeatedly prevented Scotland Yard from pursuing criminal investigations against hate preacher Anjem Choudary, it has been claimed.

Met counter-terror officers often felt they had enough evidence to build a case against the radicalising cleric, only to be told to hang fire by MI5, because he was crucial to one of their on-going investigations, a source has claimed.


Comment: Their on-going use of terrorism for political control of the population, more like.


The situation led to tension between the two sides with police feeling "frustrated" that Choudary was not being brought to justice, the source added.

After almost 20-years at the forefront of radical Islam in Britain, Choudary was finally convicted of a terrorism offence last month and faces up to ten years in prison when he is sentenced on September 6.


Comment: So they finally 'got him', right? WRONG. Choudary was released in 2018, along with Khan a bunch of their fellow stabby-jihadis.


Comment: Yeah well, they obviously didn't intend to 'take him out'. Choudary is a free man, and his 'students' are still periodically causing mayhem on the streets of London.

Choudary was already way up the 'al-Qaeda' (which literally means the database) food chain back in 1999, when he was Bin Laden's chief recruiter in the UK, sending low-IQ boys of Muslim origin to training camps across the UK before they would be shipped out to fight the Anglo-Americans' proxy wars in Chechnya, Kashmir, Yugoslavia and elsewhere.

The antisemitic card in the UK elections

anti semitic
It is a ludicrous situation when anyone criticizing Israeli state violations against Palestinians or neighbouring countries is then instantly discredited as being "antisemitic".

We see this in Britain and the United States all the time. Congresswomen like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have been denounced for being "anti-Jewish", including by President Trump, simply because they protested Israeli policy of occupying Palestinian lands or for having a malign influence on US foreign policy.

In Britain, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his party have once again this week been vilified as "antisemitic" in prominent news media.

The reality is that Corbyn is neither racist or anti-Jewish. The specious allegation stems from him and sections of Labour being vehemently critical of Israel and its conduct towards Palestinians.

If elected in the general election next month, Labour says it will cut military trade with Israel and move to officially recognize a Palestinian state.

This conflation of valid criticism of the Israeli state with being "anti-Jew" is a cynical distortion which is wielded to give Israel impunity from international law. It plays on moral blackmail of critics by equating the historical persecution of Jews and in particular the Nazi holocaust with the sanctity of the modern Israeli state.

Comment: Every time the interests of Israel (or Zionists worldwide) seem to be threatened, the well-worn anti-semitic card is being thrown on the table. In the case of Jeremy Corbyn, both Israel AND the UK deep state dread the possibility of him being elected, so the attacks against him are doubly vicious and 'well-coordinated'.

Putin rejects politically correct 'parent #1 & #2' titles: Thanks, but we'll keep 'mother' & 'father'

mother father
During a discussion on Russian national identity, President Vladimir Putin made sure to politely but firmly reject any notion of replacing traditional family structures with more "progressive" examples implemented in the West.

"You said the word 'mother' cannot be replaced. Turns out maybe it can: they've replaced it in some countries with 'parent number one' and 'parent number two.' I hope that never happens here," Putin said on Friday at the meeting of the Council for Interethnic Relations, a Kremlin advisory body.

His remarks came in response to lawmaker Viktor Vodolatsky, who talked about efforts to cultivate a unifying identity among Russia's youth without infringing on any other ethnic, religious or group identities. The words "mother" and "parent" are functionally the same, but carried a very different emotional weight, Vodolatsky argued, just like "motherland" and "country."
Smiling as he replied, Putin may as well have winked and nudged in the westerly direction. One notable place where motherhood and fatherhood had been replaced in the name of "social equality" is France, where in February school forms were updated to "parent 1" and "parent 2" in order to reflect new "family diversity."

Comment: Putin once again shows his values and common sense in protecting the majority of human beings' unalienable right to be identified as mothers and fathers by their children and their communities.
