French opposition lawmakers brought the government down on Wednesday, throwing the European Union's second-biggest economic power deeper into a political crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and rein in a massive budget deficit.

Far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government, with a majority 331 votes in support of the motion.

Barnier was expected to tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron shortly.

Opposition lawmakers in South Korea have put forward a motion to impeach President Suk Yoon over a mismanaged attempt to impose martial law.

Six opposition groups are believed to have now put forward motions to impeach President Yoon.

The president attempted to impose martial law on Tuesday, throwing the country into turmoil, citing North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate 'anti-State elements' for the move.

But less than two hours after his declaration, MPs defied the order to gather outside the national assembly.

8 years after the Russian military freed most of Syria from the terror grip of Western proxy army 'ISIS', the remainders of that horde, holed up in Idlib province in northwestern Syria, last week broke out of containment - clearly with Turkish and Western approval - and re-took Syria's second-largest city, Aleppo.

First hour of this NewsReal: Joe & Niall recap the Astana peace process that 'froze' the so-called 'Syrian Civil War', resulting in this enclave of 'moderate' terrorists, why they've been unleashed now, and why 'solving Syria' is a complex problem that is easily exploited by unscrupulous hegemons.

Second hour: Russia's demonstration of its new 'Oresnik' weapon in Ukraine has game-changing implications, and not just for ending the Ukraine war. Finally, joined by Toño, co-host of the SOTT en español podcast, a sit-rep on the US-Mexico border, Mexico's new female president, and what Mexicans think of Trump's re-election.

Al-Qaeda is back on the rampage once again in Syria, and sounding like their monkey bar training exercises were replaced with a social justice brainwashing course.

So what have they been up to lately since they dropped off the radar a few years ago? "How Syria's 'diversity-friendly' jihadists plan on building a state," reads a headline from Britain's Telegraph. Well, that explains it. The piece also cites "torture" documented by human rights groups in the areas of Idlib that the Al-Qaeda successor group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has controlled for the past few years. Which may also describe the meetings required to come up with diversity policies.

Facelifted Al-Qaeda in Syria now sounds like it swallowed an equity and inclusion manual written by a nose-ringed, purple-haired, gender-fluid Western activist. "Diversity is a strength," said the group's head, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, after rampaging through Aleppo.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the country's domestic security service to spy on the commander-in-chief of the IDF and the director of the Mossad, former Shin Bet chief, Yoram Cohen, has said.

Cohen was the organization's director between 2011 and 2016, during which time Israel allegedly planned to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.

"The prime minister asked me for things... and a lot of things I told him, 'I'm not allowed to do that'," Cohen told Kan Reshet Bet radio. "It was an important event, an important security move Israel had made preparations for. The prime minister was afraid, justly as far as I'm concerned, that this issue, because it takes months to organize, will leak and get to places it shouldn't and cause damage."

South Korean police have launched a probe targeting President Yoon Suk Yeol, after he briefly imposed martial law, a senior officer has announced.

The head of the National Police Agency's investigation headquarters, Woo Jong-soo, told South Korean lawmakers that "the case has been assigned" against Yoon, AFP news agency reported on Thursday.

According to Woo, the president is suspected of "insurrection."

The crisis in South Korea erupted on Tuesday when Yoon delivered a surprise televised address declaring emergency martial law, on the grounds that the opposition - which he accused of being sympathetic towards the North - had been preparing a "rebellion."

After two weeks of negotiations at the 29th annual United Nations "climate" summit, the UN and its member governments agreed to rules for a global "carbon market" led by the global body. The scheme will put a price on emissions of the gas of life, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and allow carbon credits to be traded. UN bosses called it a "base to build on."

The final deal, inked over the weekend, also saw Western governments pledge $1.3 trillion per year in "climate" wealth transfers by 2035. The money for Third World kleptocracies and climate profiteers will come from what remains of the middle class in the West. These reparations are to compensate for "loss and damage" supposedly caused by Western CO₂, the UN claims.

Of that sum, about $300 billion annually will be in the form of grants and low-interest loans for "climate reparations," starting immediately. That represents a tripling of previous pledges. The rest of the funding will come from government-backed "investments" and potential new international taxes on fuels or aviation in the years ahead.

The charade of Western democracy is rapidly unraveling as so-called leaders and their dutiful media show themselves to be brazenly unaccountable to citizens while pursuing elitist, criminal interests.

Biden using presidential powers to pardon his drug-addict felonious son - after promising he wouldn't. Western media claims that the upsurge in conflict in Syria is a "civil war" and not due to NATO-backed terrorist proxies. Western support for genocide in Gaza and a fascist Israeli leader who is mass murdering his way to avoid court prosecution for years of corruption. Western support for a money-laundering NeoNazi regime in Kiev whose proxy war against Russia could spiral into nuclear annihilation. Western sponsoring of anti-government violence in Georgia after pro-EU groups lost an election there. The pro-West South Korean leader declaring police state powers to avoid prosecution for corruption.

That's just a quick sample of something more ample in the West's decaying image.

The visit to China this week by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was another revealing fiasco. The obsessively anti-Russia Baerbock landed in Beijing not to prioritize improving trade relations with the European Union's biggest global partner but rather to browbeat China with tedious allegations that it was helping Russia's war effort in Ukraine.

What's more important? Getting along with China to bolster trade and jobs for millions of Germans and Europeans, or gratuitously grandstand over a wanton proxy war in Ukraine?

Understandably, the Chinese authorities were not pleased by Baerbock's insolence and gave her short shrift. She was snubbed by China's foreign minister Wang Yi not affording a customary joint press conference after more than three hours of discussions. In a separate statement, China again rejected claims that it was aiding Russia militarily in Ukraine.

So here we have Germany's top diplomat who is soon out of a job because her coalition government has collapsed and is facing new elections - but she flies to Beijing on taxpayer money to aggravate relations with China, whose annual trade with the EU amounts to over $700 billion.

Until recently, a serious geopolitical working hypothesis was that West Asia and Ukraine were two vectors of the standard Hegemon modus operandi, which is to incite and unleash Forever Wars. Now both wars are united in an Omni-War.

A coalition of Straussian neo-cons in the US, hardcore revisionist Zionists in Tel Aviv and Ukrainian neo-nazi shades of grey is now betting on a Final Confrontation - with several overtones ranging from expanding lebensraum to provoking the Apocalypse.

What stands in their way is essentially two of the top BRICS: Russia and Iran.

China, self-protected by their collective lofty dream of "community of a shared future for mankind", warily watches on the sidelines, as they know that at the end of the road, the true "existential" war by the Hegemon will be against them.

Meanwhile, Russia and Iran need to mobilize for Totalen Krieg. Because that's what the enemy is launching.

Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, is back with an update on the crime and violence cooking with the commie Dems, RINO's and Deep State. First, the crime coverup is the pardon of Hunter Biden that spans 10 years of alleged crime. First Lady Jill Biden is elated about the pardon for son Hunter. Klayman says,

"The fact that Jill Biden is so happy about this is because she is one of the actors and conspirators in the bribery, which took place with regard to communist China, Ukraine and Russia. She benefited by it. Who was the money launderer? Her son, Hunter Biden. She could have been indicted along with Hunter, as well as brother James of the Biden crime family for the bribery and money laundering. . . . I think his brother James will get a pardon because he's dead to rights with what has been uncovered. I think more pardons are coming. Joe Biden does not care at this point. The guy has no legitimate reputation."
