Was it just a coincidence that 2025 started with "ISIS" attacking New Orleans and blowing up a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel? The message is clear, but who is sending it?

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.

Musk was only trying to point out that the world's 'top geniuses' should come and work in the USA, wasn't he?

In an unexpected turn of events, a raging debate has flared on social media platform X over the hot topic of inward, LEGAL migration, resulting in the champion of free speech himself cussing and fuming at MAGA supporters over their discovery that the very same legal migration routes Musk advocates greatly expanding... are being heavily abused by corporate America - including Musk's conglomerate.

This week on NewsReal, Joe, Niall and guest Adam tackle the thorny issues of migration, racism, and what it would take to truly 'make America great again'.

Liberation Times has obtained twenty-two witness statements and an incident report through a Freedom of Information Act request, following December 2023 'drone' incursions reported over Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.

These statements come from members of the 633d Security Forces Squadron, who are responsible for guarding Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

Witnesses reported observing the so-called 'drones' 'moving at rapid speeds' and displaying 'flashing red, green, and white lights'.

Concerningly, one witness stated that their dronebuster 'failed to register' one of the objects, while another was unable to use a dronebuster 'due to not having a visual'.

The objects were spotted in various areas around the base, including the flight line, which is used for servicing and maintaining airplanes, as well as for parking ramps and hangars

As much as we may 'want to believe', it's probably just the US govt lying again!

This week on NewsReal, we discuss the spate of 'UFO-drone' videos and reports coming out of the US Northeast, primarily over the state of New Jersey. Is this a classic 'UFO flap'? Or are the flashing lights and 'plane-like' design of these 'UFOs' pointing to man-made origins? The US govt is being very coy about the phenomenon, so for now Joe & Niall are going with 'US military test'...

In the second hour they discuss the catastrophe for the 'Axis of Resistance' in Syria, the obliteration of democracy in Romania, the 'color revolution' in Georgia and a host of other recent efforts by the Empire to 'lock everything down', apparently because Trump is coming and it's imperative that he enter his second presidency with 'certain facts on the ground'.

An Arctic blast brought several intense winter storms and heavy snowfall to northern Europe, causing widespread disruption and travel delays. Countries such as Sweden, Finland, and parts of the Alps saw significant snow accumulations, with some areas receiving up to 27 inches (70 cm) of snow.

Meanwhile, Ukraine experienced record-breaking snowfall, with some areas seeing up to 31 inches (79 cm) of snow. This extreme weather event was driven by a powerful cold front that swept across the region, causing road closures, power outages, and challenges for transportation and emergency services.

The heavy snowfall also had a significant impact on agriculture and infrastructure, affecting rural areas already struggling with the consequences of the military conflict.

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.

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.
