Three Algerian men have been arrested in France following allegations they published posts inciting violence on social media platform TikTok. The arrests come amid strained relations between France and its former colony, in the wake of the arrest of French-Algerian novelist Boualem Sansal, and France's support of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.

French authorities on Sunday held three Algerians suspected of inciting violence in TikTok videos, with at least two of them facing terror-related charges. The arrests come amid growing political tensions between Paris and its former North African colony.

A video blogger known as "Imad Tintin" was arrested Friday outside Grenoble after publishing a video urging followers to "burn alive, kill and rape on French territory". The post was taken down after receiving 800,000 views but hardline right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau published a video grab on his social media accounts, condemning the publication as "vile".

A judge on Sunday placed the 31-year-old blogger under judicial supervision, Grenoble prosecutors said.

On December 31, 2024, the world received a year-end parting gift from the good folks at NIAID, Anthony Fauci's old fiefdom at the National Institutes of Health. NIAID - the same unaccountable and secretive agency that Fauci used to fund the gain-of-function research of Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill and the Bat Lady in Wuhan that resulted in Covid - has a new director, one Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo.

Marrazzo and another NIAID colleague, Dr. Michael G. Ison, wrote a year-end editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine that accompanies a research paper on recent H5N1 Bird flu cases in the United States, as well as a case report of a lone case of severe illness associated with Bird flu in British Columbia.

Marrazzo and Ison summarize the findings of the research paper and case report as follows:
Investigators now report in the Journal a series of human cases from the United States and Canada. The former series involves 46 case patients with generally mild, self-limited infection with [Influenza type] A(H5N1): 20 with exposure to poultry, 25 with exposure to dairy cows, and 1 with undefined exposure....Most case patients presented with conjunctivitis, almost half with fever, and a minority with mild respiratory symptoms, and all recovered. The only hospitalization occurred in the case patient with undefined exposure, although hospitalization was not for respiratory illness.

'Lifeline': Big move to protect cash

Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones
Some 1.5 million Australians prefer using cash to digital payments, and in some remote parts of the vast continent, it is the only viable option.

Currently, there are no legal requirements for businesses to accept cash if they have another option that does not slap customers with a fee.

The Treasury announced late on Sunday that the government was looking to mandate that businesses accept cash for "essential items".

"People are increasingly using digital payment methods, but there is an ongoing place for cash in our society under the Albanese government," Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said in a statement.

Comment: While the move to protect the use of cash is good, we'll have to see how long these efforts can last in the face of the Globalist West's agenda to have everyone tied to a social credit-based central bank digital currency...

I study the collapse of empires... here's why wokeism will be the downfall of America

Does the fall of ancient Rome hold important lessons for the West?
The rise of 'woke' thought and digital currencies are among the warning signs that Western civilization could be about to collapse, said investor and expert Doug Casey.

Casey's book 'Crisis Investing' topped the New York Times nonfiction chart, focusing on the looming crisis facing Western civilization.

In subsequent books and podcast interviews, the veteran speculator has focused on signs that he sees as warnings, based on his study of historical events such as the fall of Ancient Rome.

He told DailyMail.com that there are now seven clear signs that he believes show that Western civilization is facing an end.

He said: 'I'm unhappy about Western civilization winding down, because it's by far the best civilization in world history. In fact, it's the only civilization in world history that even matters, quite frankly.'

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Romania's capital Bucharest on Sunday to protest against the Constitutional Court's invalidation of the presidential election.

The court annulled the results of the first round in December after independent candidate Calin Georgescu outperformed all other candidates.

Videos circulating on social media show demonstrators in Bucharest honking horns and waving Romania's flags, shouting "freedom" and "bring back the second round." Some were seen carrying portraits of Georgescu or Orthodox Christian icons, and others placards with the slogans "Democracy is not optional" and "We want free elections."

More than 100,000 people took part in the protest, media outlets stated, citing the event's organizers. Police reportedly estimated the numbers were much lower.

Best of the Web: Stabbed in the head and dumped in a canal: The true horror of the Rotherham grooming scandal - and the shameful failure to stop it

The Rotherham story is simple. It's a story about cowardice and evil. For decades, organised gangs of abusers preyed on children in their homes and in local institutions with impunity, while authorities turned a blind eye.

An inquiry led by the academic Alexis Jay, published in 2014, found evidence that reports had been submitted to authorities in the 1990s. The police certainly had evidence as far back as 2003 and 2006. Little was done to stop the crimes. Between 1997 and 2013, the National Crime Agency now believes, at least 1,500 girls were abused in the town.

Such mass abuse was the result of an instinct to look away and cover-up. In some cases, this appears to have been motivated by fear; fear of being called racist, or fear of what might happen if the majority community were to realise its children were viewed as easy targets by many members of a minority. In other cases, inaction is harder to explain away.

Comment: The evidence points to the abuse being sanctioned and repeatedly covered up by British authorities. We at SOTT have brought up psychopaths in power over and over again. When psychopaths are in positions of power, they tend to promote and protect behaviors that match their own perverted predilections. This story is a case in point.

The Left's Ignoble Motives

censorship
Elites in the U.S. and U.K. prioritize protecting their power over public safety, hiding the truth about crimes and fearing backlash more than addressing the harm inflicted on innocent victims.

Having read his January 7th piece in American Greatness, "We Can Handle the Truth," clearly Christopher Roach did a splendid job of employing a cinematic reference to tie together the U.S. and U.K. establishments' mutual fear of telling their public the truth about terrorism and other criminal acts when the perpetrators are from a preferred intersectional group.

Specifically, Mr. Roach deftly stated the case how the refusal by the authorities and the corporate media in the United States to call the murders in New Orleans a terrorist attack constitutes a refusal akin to that exhibited by the United Kingdom regarding the Pakistani rape gangs. Per Mr. Roach:
There has been an even more aggressive media blackout in response to the horrifying rape gangs in the United Kingdom. For years, not only the media, but police, politicians, social workers, and other authorities downplayed the reality of these attacks, blamed victims, and did little to stop the rape of young, native British females by Pakistani immigrant gangs.

Elon Musk donated thousands of Starlink units to first responders and victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
Rep. Eric Swalwell has also asked Musk to use X and his own money to help poor families impacted by the blazes

As raging fires ravage California, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, wealthy business magnate Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will supply free Starlink terminals to impacted areas in Los Angeles.

He made the announcement when retweeting footage of a reporter crediting Starlink internet service with connectivity.

The reporter said that Starlink is "the only reason we're able to hear and communicate with you guys right now because there's absolutely no cell service at all in this whole area."

Comment: Swallwell is just grandstanding, hoping to ingratiate himself with Trump & Co. We'll see how well that works.

'It's got to go'

President-elect Donald Trump said he's on board for scrapping congestion pricing and lifting the cap on state and local tax deductions, The Post has learned.

In a Saturday night meeting with Republican members of New York's House delegation at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the incoming commander in chief agreed he would help try to nix the city's first-in-the-nation congestion tax.

"He wants to kill it," Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) told The Post.

"He did agree it's got to go," Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said after leaving the meeting.

"So we're going to work through how his administration can do so," he added.

UK study finds Gaza death toll has been significantly underreported

The number of people killed in Gaza is significantly higher than the figure reported by authorities in the enclave, a peer-reviewed study by researchers from a leading health research university in the UK has found.

According to findings announced by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and published in The Lancet journal, there were an estimated 64,260 "traumatic injury deaths" in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza put the figure at 37,877 at the time.

This means the ministry has underreported the death toll due to violence by approximately 41%, the researchers found. As of October, the number of Gazans killed by violence was thought to exceed 70,000, the study said, based on the estimated underreporting rate.

The total death toll attributable to Israel's military campaign is likely to be higher still, it said, as its analysis doesn't account for deaths caused by disruption to health care, insufficient food, clean water and sanitation, and disease outbreaks.

Comment: Yeah, with accounts of tens of people being killed every day, if we could stop with the ~46,000 count (an appalling enough number)? Some estimates put the total at upwards of over 200,000. That would be 10% of Gaza's total population, more than half of which is comprised of women and children.



A reddit post from October 2024 (see an enlargeable copy of the letter at the link):

Full text:

according to a recent letter from doctors who volunteered in Gaza, not only is everyone sick and/or injured, but the direct death toll is now over 92,000 at 3-15x more indirect than direct deaths, an updated conservative estimate (4x) of total deaths is 368,000 Palestinians.
