Zionist apologists commonly present support for Israel as a necessary extension of opposition to radical Islam and the threat of Jihadi terrorism. "Support us fighting them here, so you don't have to fight them there" is a common plea to the West from Zionist spokespeople within Israel. Yet when it comes to the Syrian Civil War, the conflict which sparked the major refugee crisis responsible for flooding Europe with millions of Muslims, Israel has been firmly on the side of Jihad, even and most particularly Al-Qaeda.

From religious Jews scurrying out of New York City sewers on New Year's Day to UFO flaps over US military bases, Trump nearly being taken out by a real-life Manchurian Candidate (and then again by a recruiter of mercenaries for the CIA's wars), and now Syria being overrun by the latest iteration of Al Qaeda, none can dispute that 2024 has been a wild year.

While global events have been horrific to watch at times, they've also been riveting and at times even inspirational. We were as pessimistic as anyone about Trump's chances of surviving all the lawfare being thrown at him and the expected election rigging, much less an assassin's bullet on the eve of the Republican Convention. And yet, a miracle happened. Donald Trump is going to be US president again.

What he and his 'Team Trump Avengers' can possibly achieve against the all-powerful Washington 'blob' remains to be seen, but in the meantime we have enjoyed the howling, the liberal tears and the about-turns that Trump's victory has provoked. We must also take stock of the utter mess the deranged Biden regime has left behind: a war in eastern Europe that has cost Russia and Ukraine millions in lives and livelihoods; a genocide in Gaza and a Middle East that has never looked so volatile; the de-industrialization of Germany and thus potential economic collapse in Europe; and the global promotion of so-called 'trans ideology' to children, amounting to child abuse and, often, what is effectively child sacrifice.

The inclusion of the likes of Robert Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk within Trump's 'unity government' bodes well for the re-introduction of proper science, proper intelligence and free speech in the USA (and thus the wider Western world), and offers the tantalizing possibility that good governance - that is, 'the rule of normal man' - has returned, but we strongly encourage people to temper any expectations they may have by remembering that the powerful political, bureaucratic and corporate forces 'the Avengers' are up against are deeply entrenched in all layers of society and have, as Senator Chuck Schumer warned Trump many years ago, "six ways from Sunday to get back at you." It may well be that their next 'move', or series of moves, will result in them 'overturning the chessboard' of society rather than see it reflect the will of the people.

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.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov joined the conservative American journalist to discuss recent international issues and to explain Russia's position

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has given an exclusive interview to conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson this week. The two talked about a wide range of topics of international concern, primarily the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the state of US-Russia relations. Here's the full text of the conversation.

Russia's hypersonic response to the US government giving 'Ukraine' the green-light to launch long-range missiles into Russia is a stark warning. Will the West take heed? While runaway 'hot war' resulting in 'mutually assured destruction' remains an unlikely outcome, the West's dear leaders are so supremely confident that Russia is bluffing, it looks like Russia is going to have to hit at least a few American and/or European military targets to really drive the message home: the Age of Hegemony is over.

Also on this NewsReal, utter chaos in the UK as bomb threats, protests, terror alerts and public outrage at the Starmer government highlight the volatility of Western 'democracies', Trump's new 'MAGA' administration takes shape, and wild weather continues surprising forecasters whose models can no longer predict rainfall volumes.

Joe & Niall are joined this week by Harrison Koehli of the 'MindMatters' podcast.

The videos of the Russian missile(s) arriving this morning in were obviously difficult to interpret due to the video quality, but we noticed very high speed and what some people were calling 'plasma' effects, due to the fact that each missile seemed to 'glow' along it's entire length as it passed through the air before impact. Common or garden missiles do not 'glow' in this way, compare the Iranian missile attack last month on Israel for comparison.

The British government's inheritance tax reforms aren't about class warfare or filling the "black hole" in the country's budget, they are about taking vital land off small and medium-sized family farms and handing it to mega-corporations.

It's yet another piece of the Great Reset agenda, specifically the war on food.

A quick course for non-Brits who don't know how our country works (and, indeed, the substantial number of Brits who have recently demonstrated they don't know how their own country works):

Since 1984 working farms have been 100% exempt from paying inheritance tax under the "agricultural property relief" (APR) system.

The justification for this was that working farms are needed to produce the food we all eat, and since British farming families are generally asset-rich but cash-poor, charging inheritance tax on farmland might negatively impact farm output.

Russia announced a change to its nuclear doctrine several months ago, where it can now respond with nuclear weapons to a non-nuclear attack on Russia by an enemy, either directly from enemy territory or from the territory of a third party. A notable caveat however is that such a response would only occur in the event that the attack "threatened the very existence of the Russian state."

Trump's initial nominations for cabinet positions are a mixed bag, to say the least. Congress has yet to vet them, but the RINOs (Republicans in name only) can't block all of Trump's 'Avengers', surely? Joe & Niall run through the list in the first hour of this NewsReal, then assess the one major issue Team Trump could realistically 'solve' in the coming year: the Russia-Ukraine War.

Spain faced unprecedented flooding as severe storms hit the Magro and Turia river basins, triggering the overflow of river banks, inundating towns and villages, and causing significant damage to infrastructure, including many roads and bridges.

The Valencia region was hit hard, with rainfall of up to 1.3 feet (40 cm) in some areas. The unexpected downpour caused widespread devastation and took more than 200 lives.

Paiporta was one of the worst-hit towns. Many residents were trapped in their homes or vehicles, and emergency services were overwhelmed. It took days for rescue operations to reach all affected areas.

Despite the disaster, stories of solidarity and heroism emerged. The lack of timely intervention by the government triggered a wave of cooperation across Valencia and neighboring counties, providing basic needs such as food and water, and helping with the cleaning efforts. Similar to what happened in North Carolina.
