The twilight of twilight

I hope that the first lesson of the Bourbon Street massacre is not lost on you: There is no end of opportunity now for Jihadis and other maniacs to attack soft targets across the land. Americans are sitting ducks. And there is no shortage of jihadis and maniacs at large in our land, thanks to "Joe Biden" and Alejandro Mayorkas.

Do you have any idea how much carnage can be created with what are called small arms, meaning, light weapons, guns, rifles, grenades, and improvised explosives used tactically in public places by enemies of our country? It looks like we are going to find out. And just regular motor vehicles, too, as in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Among the millions of foreign vagabonds ushered across the border illegally are perhaps tens of thousands fanatically avid for mayhem, many of them surely organized into cadres trained to carry out atrocities, just hanging back with their US government-issued debit cards, enjoying DoorDash deliveries in their government supplied hotel rooms, waiting for the signal to activate themselves.

Comment: The US has 'fallen into shadow' a dimming twilight from which there may be no return.

Last ditch media sanctions from the West against Russia are like a sick child crying for help

Handshake

Trump should tackle the media sanctions against Russia as soon as he gets into the Oval office as they were part of a swamp of corruption which dragged us into the Ukraine war in the first place.

Many analysts will be wondering what Trump will do about Russian sanctions when gets into the Oval office, although there is some optimism that he will try and reverse them. He is cautious not to get into a debate about this subject, which leads me to suspect that this will be one of the bombshells he will drop on the Biden administration which left him the small gift of signing off over a billion dollars of military aid to Ukraine. What almost no Americans understand though, which is largely the fault of mainstream media, is that these military spending sprees are really all about feeding a dual-purpose racket which really has nothing to do with the actual war in Ukraine, which everyone now admits Russia is winning. On one hand, it is of course pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the 5 main arms manufacturers in the U.S. in a move which could arguably be called illegal state aid; on the other hand the kit which is sent to Ukraine from the U.S. - and the UK - is mainly being sold on a number of black markets, with only about 30 percent or thereabouts actually reaching Ukrainian troops. My own investigation has proved that the Zelensky cabal is selling off the heavy equipment like armoured personal carriers (APCs) and lorry loads of American made assault rifles to dealers in the international arms bizarre of Libya - where Middle Eastern terrorists, or their affiliates in the Sahel buy it at bargain prices.

And Trump certainly understands the racket and will want to stop it. Dropping the mother of all bombshells on the Biden legacy by scrapping the sanctions and blocking any more aid would be an effective way to do that.

But it's the sanctions on Russia media which he should also give priority to, given that, with the state of western media being such a shambles, we had to rely on RT for example, in the UK and U.S., to ask the difficult questions and hold our administrations to account.

Pentagon chief's attempt to revoke 9/11 plea deals fail

The agreements reached in summer could see the suspects acknowledging responsibility for the attacks in exchange for avoiding the death penalty.

A US military appeals court decided on Monday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin could not withdraw plea deals for the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and two other defendants in the case, the US media has said.

The plea deals, which had been agreed in late July after two years of negotiations, could see the three suspects, all inmates at Guantanamo bay, pleading guilty to the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in exchange for the possibility of the death penalty being replaced by life in prison.

The development was reported on Tuesday by several outlets, including AP, the New York Times and CBS News, citing unnamed US officials. The Pentagon has not yet officially commented on the matter.

The Department of Defense has filed a motion to delay the plea hearings until January 27 in order to consult the Department of Justice on whether to challenge the ruling in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, according to the media. The hearing for Mohammed is scheduled to take place next week.

Comment: Life in prison is a death penalty...prolonged. Israel got its 9/11 money's worth including official US silence.

It's a gas! Uncle Sam and Banderite bandits destroy Europe while Euro lackeys hail liberation

Gas Pipes

This new year began with a new era that presages Europe sliding irrevocably into economic darkness and abject suzerainty under U.S. dominance.

Uncle Sam has won a decades-long ambition to dominate Europe entirely, thanks to the help from a NeoNazi regime in Ukraine and the pathetic European politicians who hail the slavery of Europe as some liberation.

The people of Europe are facing a foreboding period of economic hardship. We can confidently say that because the most fundamental of economic inputs - fuel energy - is about to become more expensive and precariously supplied for the European Union.

Russia's decades-long energy relations with Europe are now severed. It seems an astounding final act of reckless self-harm. The European Union's economies have been floundering from an energy crisis caused by EU leaders willfully cutting off supplies of Russian gas. Now, with the last major transit route shut down, Europe is heading toward economic, social, and political self-destruction.

On Wednesday, New Year's Day, the Ukrainian regime cut off the last supply route of Russian gas to the European Union. This regime, which glorifies Stepan Bandera and other Nazi-era fascists, is, in effect, holding the entire European Union hostage with its Russophobia and relentless corruption.

The arrogance and audacity are astonishing. The Ukrainian regime does not have an elected leader (Zelensky canceled elections last year), it is not a member of the EU, it has milked European taxpayers of hundreds of billions of Euros, and now has unilaterally shut down the last gas pipeline from Russia to the EU.

Best of the Web: The H-1B visa war exposes a deeply American problem

The Musk-Bannon bust-up shows US elites are still far from even understanding their country's real problems.

To paraphrase the American film classic, 'The Big Lebowski', say what you will about Trumpism but at least it's neither united nor dull.

US uber-oligarch Elon Musk, recently promoted to President-elect Donald Trump's "first buddy," has used his very own X platform to tell other Trump supporters to "take a big step back and F**K YOURSELF in the face" (fully spelled out in the original). The designated co-leader of a new Department of Government Efficiency, Musk also threatened to "go to war" with a ferocity beyond what we, mere mortals, can comprehend.

Using a rival social media platform, American far-right nationalist guru as well as former Trump first buddy Stephen Bannon reacted by calling Musk a "man-child" and "toddler" in need of "child services." For good measure, he also denounced him as, in effect, a coward who "punches down" instead of fighting guys his own size or bigger.

Comment: The potential is there. Figure it out.

Buyers' remorse for Britain: Governing Labour Party is 'dishonest' and 'incompetent,' say majority of voters

Labour faces plummeting voter confidence, eroded economic trust, and growing competition from Reform UK, with projections of a fragmented parliament and an unprecedented challenge to Britain's two-party system.

Britain's Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is facing mounting criticism from voters, with fresh polling by YouGov for The Times newspaper painting a grim picture of the government's performance and public sentiment.

Descriptions of Labour as "incompetent," "dishonest," and "unsuccessful" have become prevalent among a majority of respondents, with only 12 percent of voters considering the government a success so far.

Labour's once-strong lead on economic trust has dissipated, with just 21 percent of voters now favoring the party on economic management compared to 24 percent for the Conservatives. This marks a significant reversal from last year when Labour held a nine-point advantage. Economic dissatisfaction is widespread, with 71 percent of respondents expressing a negative view of the government's handling of the economy, up from 4 percent earlier.

Comment: Words speak louder than actions.

"Trump is not wrong" - MSNBC finally admits massive spike in illegal immigration under Biden

Unless you have lived under a rock or never dared to venture beyond MSNBC or CNN or the front page of the New York Times as your source of 'news', none of this will come as a surprise at all...

But, for those that have lived blinkered from the truth about the border for the past four years, MSNBC just sent your minds to '11' on the 'cognitive dissonance' scale as they dared to show a chart that - hold your breath here for a moment - shows a massive surge in illegal immigration during Biden's reign (especially compared to Trump's).

"The border was not Biden's finest moment, frankly," former Obama administration official Steve Rattner sheepishly admits while showing the dramatic chart, shocking his co-host on MSNBC's Morning Joe by admitting that:
"You can see what happened here and Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings were quite low. They were running about 74,000 a month when he left office. And they, in fact, did shoot up. Some of it was some things Biden said and some ways that they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations.

"But in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000 a month."
Enjoy...

Comment: Despite deeply troubled water as the political tide begins to turn, a media 'border-crossing' appears in the making.

'She Deserves To Be In Prison': Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs'

children
The UK's Labour party is under fire for its refusal to back a public inquiry into historic sexual abuse by grooming gangs in Oldham, with critics accusing the party of prioritizing political optics over justice for victims.

The decision has sparked outrage, with Elon Musk branding it "disgraceful" and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch calling for a long-overdue national inquiry into rape gangs. "2025 must be the year the victims start to get justice," Badenoch declared.

At the center of the controversy is Labour's safeguarding minister Jess Phillips, who insisted that the decision to launch an investigation was "for Oldham Council alone."

This comes despite a 2022 report revealing that children in Oldham were failed by agencies meant to protect them amid allegations of grooming by "predominantly Pakistani offenders" in council homes, shisha bars, and taxis.

Israel bombs outskirs of Damascus, seizes control of Syrian water sources

Al-Mantra Dam syria
The Al-Mantra Dam is the main water supplier for Quneitra and its surrounding countryside, extending to Daraa Province. It is one of the largest and most vital water reservoirs in southern Syria.
The Israeli air force launched a violent attack near the Syrian capital of Damascus on 2 January, coming as Israel's military continues to expand its occupation in the country, reaching a key dam in the southern Quneitra area.

Syrian media outlets reported that powerful explosions rocked the capital's western countryside and that the target was the Tal al-Shahem military site overlooking Quneitra, Damascus, and its countryside.

"This site is considered one of the most important military centers of the Syrian army in the southern Damascus countryside. It contains military communications centers and radars, in addition to being an important site for missiles and anti-tank weapons," Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Syria said.

Comment:
"Following Israel's move into the Al Qonaitara province of Syria, the Israeli forces infiltrated and established military checkpoints in Sad Al-Mantara (Dam), where bulldozers and machinery were also reported to have arrived during the Christmas break.

It is hard not to draw parallels with the Islamic State (IS), which initially took control over important water resources in Syria and Iraq; IS was using water to further its military and political aims. Capturing large dams and reservoirs on the Euphrates and Tigris - This always played a crucial role in IS's expansion strategy, which ultimately was to control the region's most important water resources -

In January 2016, Tobias von Lossow a PhD fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs Middle East and Africa Division (SWP), wrote a very interesting piece on the topic of:

Water as a Weapon, describing the Islamic State (IS) strategic interest in Dam and reservoirs. Funny how Israel is borrowing the same avenue."
