At least five family members found dead in Arkansas home: cops

At least five people — all believed to be family members — were found dead in their Arkansas home in what appeared to be a Christmas Day massacre, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a home in Atkins on a call of a possible homicide after 5 p.m., according to the Pope County Sheriff’s Office.

“Tragedy has struck Pope County on this Christmas Day,” a sheriff’s office spokesman said a press conference Friday. “Upon arrival, we did notice that there was potentially five victims within this residence. We believe them to be all family members at this time.”

No other information was released. The investigation is ongoing.

China lowers liability for ‘abominable’ crimes to bring offenders as young as 12 to justice

Beijing has decided to lower the age of criminal responsibility, making children as young as 12 years old liable for “abominable” crimes, such as murder, grievous bodily harm and other extreme violence.

China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee voted for the new provision on Saturday. The changes to the country’s criminal code are set to take effect on March 1 next year.

Until now, China’s age of criminal liability for most offenses has stood at 16 years. However, children who have committed grave crimes such as premeditated murder are already held accountable starting from the age of 14. The move has reportedly been prompted by a rise in juvenile crime that the country experienced from 2018 to 2019.

Before this spike, crime rates among children had been gradually falling for some five years. Crimes of choice among the offenders aged under 14 included theft, robbery, intentional injury and even rape, according to a report released in June by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.

The change in the country’s laws brings China closer to the countries with the lowest age of criminal responsibility. In England and Wales, for instance, children can get prosecuted starting from the age of 10. Laws in Thailand are even more strict, as young offenders can appear before court upon reaching just seven years of age.

Georgia’s Corrupt Republican Leadership Gave Joe Biden Win By Less Than 12,000 Votes – Yet 460,000 Drop Box Ballots STILL MISSING Chain of Custody Documentation Required by Law

The 2020 Presidential election results in Georgia are still not complete. A month ago the corrupt leadership in the state confirmed Joe Biden won the state.

Yet still today hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots dropped off in drop boxes can not be confirmed for proper chain of custody!

Tiffany Morgan at the Tennessee Star reported yesterday:

With eleven days until Georgia’s U.S. runoff election, a large majority of the state’s counties have failed to produce chain of custody documents for some 460,000 absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes that were counted in the state’s November 3 general election as requested by The Georgia Star News.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified that Democrat Joe Biden edged out President Trump by a thin majority and as a result, Mr. Biden received all 16 votes cast by Democrat electors when the Electoral College convened in the 50 state capitals on Monday.

Morgan notes that of the 5 million votes cast in the 2020 Presidential election, 1.3 million were absentee ballots and of these around 600,000 were dropped in drop boxes.

In the two weeks since The Georgia Star News first reported no chain of custody ballot transfer forms have been produced for the more than 500,000 of the 600,000 drop box absentee ballots cast, the 159 counties in the state have made little progress producing the documents. Furthermore, the Secretary of State has shown no interest in providing any assistance to require the counties fulfill the open record requests.

In order to account for the secure whereabouts for absentee ballots left in drop boxes across the state, the Georgia Election Code Emergency Rule approved by State Election Board on July 1, 2020, required that every county is responsible for documenting the transfer of every batch of absentee ballots picked up at drop boxes and delivered to the county election offices with ballot transfer forms. The forms are required to be signed and dated, with time of pick up by the collection team upon pick up, and then signed, dated, with time of delivery by the registrar or designee upon receipt and accepted.

From December 1 to December 13, The Star News sent open records requests for ballot transfer forms to all of Georgia’s 159 counties.

So far, 26 out of the 159 counties in Georgia responded to the requests and produced the chain of custody records. These documents account for 140,083 of the roughly 600,000 absentee ballots placed in drop boxes during the November 3 election. In other words, about three out of four absentee ballots left in drop boxes in counties across the state have no documentation verifying their chain of custody.

Everyone knows Georgia’s 2020 election results are corrupted and fraudulent and the leadership in the state know it and yet they stole the election for Joe Biden.

At least 7 killed as fire breaks out at Covid-19 hospital in Egypt

A blaze has ripped through a private hospital treating coronavirus patients on the outskirts of Cairo. The disaster left at least seven dead and injured several others.

The fire broke out at around 9am local time at Misr Al Amal Hospital in El Obour, some 35km northeast of the Egyptian capital. It reportedly started in the intensive care ward on the building’s second floor.

Several fire trucks were deployed to the scene, and they swiftly got the fire under control and extinguished it. Meanwhile, the patients were evacuated and transferred to a public hospital elsewhere in the city.

According to the results of a preliminary investigation, the fire was caused by an electric short-circuit, security sources told local media.

A similar incident occurred in Egypt in June. Back then, seven died in a blaze in the coronavirus ward of a hospital in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.

Red Francis Joins the CDC and the WHO in Pushing COVID Vaccinations

Pope Francis is again pushing far-left and elite causes. He now wants all countries to ensure everyone takes the COVID vaccination.

John Solomon at Just the News reports:

Pope Francis made a Christmas Day admonition for world leaders to “promote cooperation and not competition” in the race to stop the pandemic, imploring that the most vulnerable be first to get vaccines.

“We can’t let closed nationalisms impede us from living as the true human family that we are,” Francis said Friday in a speech from the Vatican just hours after he celebrated Christmas Eve Mass that was sparsely attended because of COVID restrictions across Europe.

The goal, he said, is “vaccines for everybody, especially for the most vulnerable and needy.”

The Pope joins the World Health Organization which is pushing the vaccination on the world as well:

Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Digital currencies may challenge SWIFT global payment network, says Russian central bank

The development of digital currencies may challenge the SWIFT international banking payment system and could eventually make it redundant, the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) has said.

More than 30 financial regulators are currently working on their national digital currencies, according to First Deputy Governor of the CBR, Olga Skorobogatova. Given the pace of the development, several countries may launch the new form of currencies over the next 5-7 years, the official added.

“Then we can deal with direct integration issues. In this case SWIFT it may not be necessary, because it will be a different kind of technological interaction,” Skorobogatova said at an online meeting earlier this week. However, the global banking network may become one of the platforms for the new form of national currencies, she added.

The SWIFT system facilitates cross-border payments between 11,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries worldwide. However, some Western politicians have threatened to disconnect Russian banks from the network as part of broader sanctions. In response to those threats, Russia began working on an alternative – a domestically developed financial messaging network called SPFS.

Russia’s financial watchdog is currently developing the digital ruble. The new form of the Russian currency, which is supposed to exist along with cash and non-cash rubles, is to be test-launched as soon as next year in the Crimea. Earlier this year, Russia’s central bank said that the digital ruble may be used for international money transfers, but only after its global peers establish their sovereign digital currencies.

Japan Issues Complete Ban On Non-Nationals Entry To Battle 'Super COVID' Strain

As anxiety over new, reportedly more contagious, strains of COVID builds around the world - and with it the spread of travel blockades for British travelers - Japan just went to '11' on the "better safe than sorry" scale by banning all new entries by non-Japanese nationals through the end of January.

Israel Pounds Gaza Overnight & Separately Launched Christmas Eve Strikes On Syria

Overnight Israeli jets pounded targets in Gaza in response to what the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said was Palestinian militant rocket fire into the south of the country.

"Hamas will bear the consequences for all terror emanating from Gaza," the IDF announced in a tweet, after which it said Israeli aircraft had struck a series of Hamas military facilities including a rocket manufacturing location.

It doesn't appear there were any deaths as a result of the exchange of fire Friday night into early Saturday, but there were multiple injuries reported.

The Palestinian side is disputing that Israel hit merely Hamas military outposts or weapons facilities, claiming that instead a children's hospital was among places to suffer severe damage in Gaza.

"According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, Israeli warplanes fired a series of missiles on Saturday in the eastern, northwestern and central parts of the Gaza Strip, including open farmland, wounding a six-year-old girl and a man in his 20s," Al Jazeera reports. "The attacks caused power cuts in the eastern parts and caused some damage to a children’s hospital, a center for disabled people, and shattered the windows of some residential buildings, according to the reports."

There was widespread anger also in Lebanon, given that just before the attack on what Israel claimed was an Iranian militia site four IAF jets flew low over Beirut, startling residents of the city who feared they were coming under attack.

There was also outrage in the region over the fact that such an aggressive major aerial attack took place on Christmas Eve, as well as that the region struck has Syrian Christian communities in the area.

Boston doctor says he almost had to be INTUBATED after suffering severe allergic reaction from Moderna Covid vaccine

A physician in Boston said he suffered one of the worst allergic reactions he’s ever experienced after receiving Moderna’s Covid-19 jab, following a string of similar cases resulting from Pfizer’s vaccine.

Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a hematology oncology fellow at Boston Medical Center, was given the drug on Christmas Eve. The health care worker, who has a severe shellfish allergy, said his heart began to race after taking the vaccine. Initially, he thought his increased heart rate was due to anxiety he had about the jab, stemming from reports of serious medical episodes occurring after people with allergies were injected with Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine.

However, he soon realized that he was suffering from something far more dangerous. Within minutes, Sadrzadeh’s tongue and throat began to tingle and go numb, a reaction that he associated with his shellfish allergy. Even more concerning, his blood pressure then dipped so low that it wasn’t even detectable with a monitor.

Vaccine overdose? Israeli pharmacist hospitalized after accidentally receiving FOUR doses of Covid jab Vaccine overdose? Israeli pharmacist hospitalized after accidentally receiving FOUR doses of Covid jab

Luckily, the doctor had brought his own EpiPen, which he administered on himself before hospital staff rushed him to the emergency room. He was given several medications, including steroids and Benadryl. A record of his hospital visit stated that he was admitted to the ER for “shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations and numbness after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.”

By Friday morning, he said that he was feeling normal. But the doctor seemed to suggest that the episode could have been far more harrowing had he not come prepared for the worst.

“I feel that if I did not have my EpiPen with me, I would be intubated right now, because it was that severe,” he said, adding that it was the worst allergic reaction he had experienced since he was 11 years old.

The physician said he now recommends that people with allergies receive the vaccine in a hospital setting, instead of getting it from a clinic or local provider.

“I knew the symptoms. I had the experience. I was a physician, and I was scared to death. Imagine someone who does not have the information,” he noted. Sadrzadeh has offered Moderna a blood sample in an effort to help the firm identify what ingredient in the vaccine may have triggered the allergic reaction.

“I really don’t want anybody to go and experience this and go through this event that I had,” he said.

The concerning case is the first of its kind to be linked to the Moderna jab. Officials with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating at least six cases of severe allergic reactions occurring in people who took the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. However, it is still being determined whether an ingredient in the vaccine is responsible for the health episodes.

‘This Is What a Police State Looks Like’: 2020 Britain’s COVID Cops

Stalking dog walkers, fines for unauthorised car journeys, telling Britons to snitch on their neighbours, and arresting protesters at Britain’s sacred space for free speech are just some examples of British policing during 2020, the year of the Chinese virus.

When Prime Minister Boris Johnson passed the emergency coronavirus legislation on March 23rd, he also gave police expanded powers to enforce it, telling Britons: “If you don’t follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them, including fines and dispersing gatherings.”

‘Have you got a licence for that fresh air?’

No sooner had police been given the powers than they were flexing their muscles in using them, oftentimes publishing details of supposed COVID crimes on social media.

Derbyshire Police was exposed as one of the most zealous police forces, provoking the condemnation of a former Supreme Court judge, and came to media attention when its officers cracked down on rural dog walkers, following them with drones and uploading the footage to social media in an effort to shame them for exercising in an unapproved fashion. Two months later, the same force went to extremes to discourage swimmers by dyeing a lagoon in a beauty spot black.

Some months later, Greater Manchester Police shamed a man on social media for breaching social distancing laws by having a cup of tea at his friend’s house, fining him £200.

Warrington Police, meanwhile, relished in telling the public that it had fined a man for going for a drive out of boredom and penalising a household for walking to the shops to buy ‘non-essentials’.

London's Metropolitan Police Force is appealing to the public to report "hate crime related to the Covid-19 pandemic". https://t.co/8ocQRe6j1Q

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) April 1, 2020

Speaking of ‘non-essentials’, in April one force suggested that it would police shoppers’ baskets and trollies for items that were not considered essential. Officers also were said to have harassed convenience store owners, telling them not to sell chocolate Easter eggs because they were not considered essential items.

Six weeks after the rules were imposed, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) ordered a review of every charge, conviction, and sentence related to the COVID laws following reports that police were wrongfully charging people.

However, their zeal for fining Britons has not abated, with a report from November that South Yorkshire Police had handed out £100,000 worth of fines for the Hallowe’en weekend alone.

Just this month, police were accused of “intimidating” and harassing punters and staff in English pubs while enforcing rules that alcohol could only be purchased with “substantial” meals, sometimes ordering patrons to leave.

Ossoff, Warnock Each Raised Over $100 Million In Two Months, Shattering Fundraising Records

Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock have each raised over $100 million in the past two months, shattering Senate fundraising records and out-raising their respective challengers, Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

Their $210 million total was split almost evenly, with Ossoff reporting $106.8 million and Warnock reporting $103.4 million, two totals funded largely by small-dollar donors across the country, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Though outraised, Perdue and Loeffler raised over $130 million in total, reporting $68 and $64.1 million, respectively.

All four totals broke the previous Senate fundraising record set by South Carolina challenger Jaime Harrison in the third quarter of 2020 when he reported raising $57 million in his bid against South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Ossoff and Warnock have spent $67 and $53 million on television advertisements since the November election, compared to $34 million and $36 million for Perdue and Loeffler. But while the two Democrats have outspent both incumbents, outside GOP groups have erased much of their financial edge, Politico reported.

Georgia’s two Senate runoffs have become almost completely nationalized given their stakes. If Democrats flip both seats then they would have 50 seats, just enough for a majority with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’s tie-breaking vote.

If Republicans, however, can defend both seats, then they would have a 52-48 Senate majority, which would prevent Democratic control of Congress and the White House and likely block much of President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda once he takes office in January.

The two races will likely be extremely close given November’s election results. Biden beat President Donald Trump in the state by less than 0.3% – the closest margin in the country.

Meth Seizures Skyrocket Along U.S.-Mexico Border — 42 Percent Over Last Year

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers along with Border Patrol agents seized more than 38,000 pounds of methamphetamine during the first two months of the new fiscal year. This represents a 42 percent increase over the same period in Fiscal Year 2020.

CBP officials tweeted a report showing the seizure of 38,832 pounds of methamphetamine. The seizures are the result of the combined efforts of CBP Office of Field Operations officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents.

CBP OFO officers working ports of entry along the U.S. borders seized 36,021 pounds of methamphetamine during October and November. In addition, Border Patrol agents seized 2,811.

During the record-setting Fiscal Year 2020, which ended on September 30, CBP OFO officers seized 156,901 pounds. In the first two months of FY21, officers seized another 36,021 pounds of the drug. This represents nearly 23 percent of the previous year’s record total, officials reported.

Border Patrol agents seized 20,795 pounds of meth during the last fiscal year. This year’s seizure of 2,811 during the first two months of FY21 represents nearly 14 percent of the previous year’s record seizures.

In December, the numbers continue to pile up as OFO officers seized a “colossal” 1,853 pounds of methamphetamine in a single shipment at the Pharr International Bridge in South Texas, Breitbart Texas reported.

Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector seized another 69 pounds of the deadly drug as a group of “drug mules” carried the load across the border from Mexico into Arizona.

EU to Spend €485 Million over Next Year on Migrants in Turkey

Over the next year and into early 2022, the European Union is planning to spend nearly half a billion euros on Syrian migrants currently living in Turkey.

The European Commission announced the move this week, which will see an extension of aid programmes that will be managed by the Turkish branch of the Red Crescent aid group along with the Red Cross and UNICEF, with part of the money going toward educating an estimated 700,000 children living in Turkey.

According to a report from the Greek newspaper I Kathimerini, the money will go toward 1.8 million migrants in total, while an estimated four million migrants currently reside in the country.

The cash comes after years of cash payments from the European Union to migrants in Turkey after the negotiation of the EU-Turkey migrant deal in 2016 that has paid out an estimated 6 billion euros. The deal also made promises to extend visa-free travel to Turkish citizens but has not delivered on the promise, which was made in exchange for Turkey keeping migrants from entering the European Union.

Greek Media Publishes Photos of Turkish Authorities Allegedly Helping Migrants https://t.co/8vIds0DrWP

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) September 10, 2020

After repeated threats, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan opened the gates to migrants earlier this year and tens of thousands of migrants attempted to cross the land border between Greece and Turkey in the Evros region.

The border was closed again in late March due to the outbreak of the Wuhan virus, but not before it was alleged that Turkish authorities were helping migrants cross the border illegally. A German intelligence report went as far as accusing Turkish agents of sparking riots to help migrants storm the border while disguised as migrants themselves.

While the number of migrants has declined since the onset of the pandemic, illegal border crossings have not stopped completely. Last week a Syrian migrant was caught at the border smuggling Turkish-made firearms and drugs, for example, and there have been further claims by Greek media that Turkey continues to actively help migrants cross the border.

Far-left journalist among group charged in BLM firebomb attacks on police vehicles in Arkansas

The group faces federal charges

A far-left journalist was among four suspects who face federal charges in relation to firebombings of police vehicles in Arkansas. The anti-police attacks happened during a Black Lives Matter protest in August.

A large group of BLM protesters gathered at the Little Rock Police Department's 12th Street Substation on Aug. 25. Rioters slashed the tires of police vehicles and threw Molotov cocktails. Authorities reviewed surveillance footage that showed two people lobbing Molotov cocktails at the fenced police parking lot.

Then on Aug. 28, an Arkansas State Police vehicle was vandalized and burned at the Arkansas State Police Headquarters in Little Rock. "One vehicle had been set on fire, one had been vandalized with spray paint, and several others had punctured tires," according to the Department of Justice. One state trooper cruiser was spray-painted with the message: "STOP KILLING US." Investigators also discovered a detonated Molotov cocktail that was constructed from a bottle of brandy.

Three individuals were caught on surveillance video "entering the vehicle storage area wearing dark clothing and backpacks." The complaint reads, "The video shows them bending down in a motion consistent with slashing vehicle tires as well as throwing a lighted object into a police vehicle."

Federal search warrants were executed to obtain cell phone data, which showed that the suspects were in the location of Arkansas State Police Headquarters during the time of the attacks.

There was a months-long investigation by the ATF, Arkansas State Police, North Little Rock Police Department, and Little Rock Police Department. On Dec. 17, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas announced that Brittany Dawn Jeffrey, 31, Emily Nowlin, 27, Aline Espinosa-Villegas, 24, and Renea Baek Goddard, 22, had been arrested.

New report: 4 far-left activists have been arrested following ATF investigation into firebombing attacks in Little… https://t.co/NPVTib4mAt

— Andy Ngô (@Andy Ngô)1608843248.0

Federal investigators allege that Goddard, Nowlin, and Espinosa-Villegas orchestrated the attacks and "conspired together, aided and abetted one another." The group utilized encrypted applications to communicate with each other "in an attempt to thwart law enforcement detection of the group['s] criminal activities," as reported in the Post Millennial.

Law enforcement interviewed several cooperating witnesses who alleged that the incendiary devices were assembled at Jeffrey's residence.

Jeffrey live-streamed her arrest on Facebook, according to the report.

"She at first refused to exit her car until arresting officers explained what the federal warrant was for. The video ended when police confiscated her phone. She has since been released from police custody," the report said.

Jeffrey was previously arrested on July 12 for criminal trespassing at a Black Lives Matter protest at a frozen custard restaurant, where an employee had been fired for allegedly "making racist comments in the presence of a black co-worker."

Goddard was previously arrested and charged with obstructing governmental operations while violating curfew at a BLM protest on June 2.

NSA Whistleblower Kirk Wiebe Exposes Digital Election Rigging Using CIA’s Hammer and Scorecard

Is all talk about the use of CIA computer programs called Hammer and Scorecard to digitally change millions of votes and steal the election for Joe Biden sheer “nonsense”? It is according to Snopes, as well as the other establishment-anointed “fact checkers” such as PolitiFact.com, FactCheck.org, BuzzFeedNews.com, and MSN.com. So that settles the matter, right? Actually, it does not.

As has been reliably shown in critical reports by diverse sources (see here, here, here, and here), including The New American (see here), Snopes is notorious for its left-leaning bias. Ditto for many of the other “fact checkers” that comprise the gaslighting chorus that pretends to debunk any claim that contradicts the party line laid down by the Fake News industrial complex: “Nothing to see here, just silly conspiracy theories, move along.” (We’ll return to Snopes and the Big Media-aligned coterie of fact-check fraudsters later on.)

Wiebe served in the NSA for decades and has been a key sentinel in many major national security crises and challenges. Together with the legendary Dr. William Binney and Ed Loomis, he helped develop many of the software programs and technologies that are crucially important in finding, monitoring, and tracking terrorists globally, as well keeping tabs on foreign state actors such as Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran. Wiebe, Binney, and Loomis were pioneers in the computer age for Signals Intelligence (SigInt).

For his many contributions to our nation’s security, Wiebe was awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award, NSA’s second highest distinction. Wiebe, Binney, and Loomis left the NSA when they learned that programs they had helped develop to keep America safe from foreign enemies were being used illegally by the NSA to spy on virtually all Americans. The trio became whistleblowers to alert American elected officials and the American people that the federal alphabet spy agencies are out of control.

Much of the media that treated them as heroes when they were exposing the illegal surveillance-state operations of the Republican Bush administration had little to no interest in their continued warnings when the Democrat Obama administration continued — and expanded — the illegal surveillance. Obama’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper publicly lied and committed perjury in congressional hearings when he stated that NSA has not/does not illegally spy on and collect data (including phone calls, texts, and emails) of millions of Americans. Yet, not only was Clapper not prosecuted for perjury and criminal violation of the privacy rights of tens of millions of Americans, he was rewarded with a commentator job at CNN. Meanwhile Wiebe, Binney, and Loomis continue to be considered media outcasts because they refuse to go along with the party line narrative of Big Media and the Deep State “Intelligence Community” (IC).

Wiebe Confirms General McInerney’s Cyber Warfare Thesis

On November 11, The New American conducted a video interview with Lt. General Thomas G. McInerney (USAF, retired), who has been the most high-profile expert warning about the digital side of the election rigging in tandem with the more traditional vote-stuffing methods. The three-star general, a highly decorated Vietnam War fighter pilot (over 400 combat missions) and top USAF/NORAD commander and DOD official, emphasizes that what we have recently experienced is not simply vote fraud, but actual cyber warfare carried out by “enemies foreign and domestic.” General McInerney laid out the criminal use of the secret Hammer-Scorecard program by the Obama administration (including DNI Clapper, CIA chief Brennan, and FBI director Comey) to throw U.S. elections.

Boko Haram militants attack a Christian village and burn down a church in Nigeria, killing 11

Boko Haram jihadists killed at least 11 people, burnt a church and seized a priest on Christmas Eve in Nigeria's restive northeast, local sources claimed today.

Security agencies had in recent days warned of an increased risk of attack during the holiday season.

Fighters in trucks and motorcycles stormed Pemi, a predominantly Christian village in Borno state on Thursday, shooting 'indiscriminately' and setting buildings on fire, said Abwaku Kabu, a militia leader.

In many parts of Nigeria, communities have resorted to armed vigilantes or militias, who work alongside the army, for self-defence.

'The terrorists killed seven people, burnt 10 homes and looted food supplies that were meant to be distributed to residents to celebrate Christmas,' Kabu said.

'Four more dead bodies have been found in the nearby bushes by search and rescue volunteers,' local community leader Ayuba Alamson said Friday. 'This has moved the death toll to 11.'

The number of dead could rise as villagers fled to the bush and some people are still unaccounted for.

The assailants, who drove from the group's nearby Sambisa forest enclave, looted medical supplies from a hospital before setting it ablaze, the militia leader said, adding they also burnt a church and abducted a priest.

The village is located only 12 miles from Chibok, where Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls six years ago.

In a separate raid on Thursday, gunmen attacked another Christian community in Garkida in the neighbouring Adamawa state, looting drug stores and food supplies before torching homes, residents claimed.

There were no reports of casualties.

Nigeria's security agency had earlier this week asked Nigerians 'to be extra vigilant and report strange movements.'

President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement Thursday 'reiterated the promise of his administration to remain unyielding in confronting the Boko Haram insurgency as well as other forms of criminality.'

The 78-year-old urged citizens to volunteer 'intelligence/information on activities of armed bandits, insurgents and other criminal elements within their communities in order to put an end to this blight.'

The decade-long conflict in Nigeria's northeast has killed 36,000 people and displaced around two million from their homes, according to the United Nations.

Violence has spread to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting regional countries to form a military coalition to fight the jihadist groups.

Biden pushes Trump to sign COVID-19 bill: 'It needs to be signed into law now'

President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday pressed President Trump to immediately sign a COVID-19 relief bill that is stuck in limbo, blasting what he deemed Trump's "abdication of responsibility."

Biden noted that the bill contains provisions for small businesses and extended unemployment benefits, as well as stimulus checks, and could help struggling families as they come up against the pandemic’s economic fallout during the holiday season.

“It is the day after Christmas, and millions of families don’t know if they’ll be able to make ends meet because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to sign an economic relief bill approved by Congress with an overwhelming and bipartisan majority,” Biden said in a statement. “This abdication of responsibility has devastating consequences.”

“This bill is critical. It needs to be signed into law now. But it is also a first step and down payment on more action that we’ll need to take early in the new year to revive the economy and contain the pandemic — including meeting the dire need for funding to distribute and administer the vaccine and to increase our testing capacity,” he added, indicating he’ll push for more relief once he takes office in January.

The push comes as members of both parties urge the president to sign the $2.3 trillion package, which includes $900 billion for COVID-19 relief and $1.4 trillion to fund the government until October.

The bill passed with broad, bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress, but Trump blindsided lawmakers earlier this week when he blasted the package as inadequate and filled with wasteful spending.

The president specifically called on Congress to raise the amount of the stimulus checks for Americans from $600 to $2,000 and tore into spending provisions such as $85.5 million for assistance to Cambodia and $40 million for the Kennedy Center in Washington. He also falsely claimed that the bill provided more stimulus funds for noncitizens than citizens.

Unemployment benefits are set to expire on Saturday if they are not renewed, while a government shutdown would begin on Tuesday without action by the president or the passage of a new bill by Congress, which would also have to be signed by Trump before Tuesday.

“In November, the American people spoke clearly that now is a time for bipartisan action and compromise. I was heartened to see members of Congress heed that message, reach across the aisle, and work together,” Biden said. “President Trump should join them, and make sure millions of Americans can put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads in this holiday season.”

Anti-Bibi demonstrations kick off, five protesters arrested

Protesters were able to reach and block the main entrance into the PM's residence, carrying torches and signs which say, "the Siege on Balfour."

Hundreds of demonstrators carrying torches began protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued leadership amid his indictment for fraud, bribery and breach of trust for the 27th consecutive week on Saturday near his residence on Balfour Street in Jerusalem.

As clashes broke out early on in the demonstration, five protesters were detained. Israel Police stated that they blocked the intersection of Tudela and Gaza streets – two streets neighboring the protest center of Paris Square.

The demonstration began earlier than usual in an attempt by protesters to surprise the police and circumvent its blockades, which are usually erected later in the evening.

Despite police preparations, protesters were able to reach and block the main entrance into the prime ministerial residence, which has been covered in a black curtain, chanting on police forces to "drop the curtain."

A fire and rescue team arrived and extinguished several fires that were started by protesters at the scene.

According to Haaretz, the protesters' intention was to reach and block all the entrances to the residence, which have been closed over the past month in an effort to minimize protests, nicknaming their operating "the siege on balfour."

Video posted by Haaretz reporter Nir Hasson showed protesters sitting on the road as police lift them one by one and evacuate them by force to the area behind the blockades.

In another video, posted by the Black Flags movement, one of the largest movements leading the protests, protesters chanted for police to let a medic pass through the blockade to tend to an injured protester as police clash with demonstrators outside balfour.

Chinese Intelligence Cell Busted In Afghanistan – Report

Afghanistan’s spy agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), has busted a 10-member Chinese intelligence cell that was operating in Kabul, the Hindustan Times reported on December 25 citing Afghan diplomats and security officials.

The outlet said the uncovering of the cell was a huge embarrassment for Beijing, which is now persuading the Afghan government to keep the case secret.

“The 10 Chinese citizens, detained recently in this connection by Afghanistan’s NDS on charges of espionage and running a terror cell, are believed to be linked to China’s spy agency, the Ministry of State Security,” the Hindustan Times reported.

The crackdown by the NDS reportedly started on December 10. One of the first cell members to be arrested was Li Yangyang. He has been allegedly working for the Chinese intelligence since July-August.

In Yangyang’s house in the western Kabul neighborhood of Kart-e-Char, NDS officers seized arms, ammunition and Ketamine powder, a recreational drug.

The operative was tasked with gathering information about al Qaeda, Taliban and Uyghurs in Kunar and Badakhshan provinces. According to the Hindustan Times, the Chinese cell’s members were allegedly linked to the Haqqani Network linked with the Taliban.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was reportedly briefed about the Chinese intelligence cells. The President authorized First Vice President Amrullah Saleh to oversee the investigation and engage in talks with the Chinese side over the issue.

Saleh held a meeting with the Chinese envoy to Afghanistan, Wang Yu, and briefed him about the detention. Saleh allegedly told the envoy that the Afghan government could consider to pardon the detailed members if Beijing submits a formal apology.

Afghan officials told the Hindustan Times that the NDS is now working to ascertain the precise activities of the Chinese intelligence cell. Possible links to Pakistan’s deep state are also being investigated.

China and the NDS have not made any official comment on the Hindustan Times’ report, thus far. The issue will likely be solved behind closed doors.

At Least 220 Killed In Ethiopia’s Ethnic Massacre, At Least 42 Militants

On December 23rd, at least 220 have reportedly been killed following an ethnic massacre in Ethiopia, a Red Cross volunteer has said.

This is the same incident from previous reports that said that at least 102 had been killed back on December 23rd, in Ethiopia’s western region of Benishangul-Gumuz.

Homes were torched in the massacre that took place in Bekoji in Bulen county in the Metekel zone that borders Sudan, amid rising ethnic tensions.

The death toll was originally estimated to be more than 100 by the state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.

But Melese Mesfin, who volunteers for the Red Cross, said that the organisation had buried the bodies of 207 victims and 15 attackers.

A Bulen county spokesman confirmed 207 people were killed and that 40,000 more had fled their homes due to the fighting.

Reuters reported that the military were then sent in before killing 42 armed men accused of being behind the attack.

Fana TV, citing regional officials, reported that soldiers seized bows, arrows and other weapons in the raid.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said forces were deployed to the region, an area which has seen regular ethnic violence.

“The massacre of civilians in Benishangul-Gumuz region is very tragic,” Abiy said on Twitter. “The government, to solve the root causes of the problem, has deployed a necessary force.”

The state-run Ethiopian News Agency said five senior local officials were also arrested y in connection with security issues in the Benishangul-Gumuz region.

Abiy and senior officials had visited the region on December 22nd to call for calm after multiple deadly attacks in recent months, such as a November 14 assault in which gunmen targeted a bus and killed 34 people.

“We have been hearing this for more than a month now. The ethnic conflict in Ethiopia has been regular and there has to be a comprehensive solution as we have seen they are not going to be contained by command like the government has attempted to do in the past,” Ethiopian researcher and lawyer Mastewal Taddese said.

Amnesty International, which spoke with five survivors, said members of the ethnic Gumuz community attacked the homes of ethnic Amhara, Oromo and Shinasha people, setting them on fire and stabbing and shooting residents.

The Gumuz see minorities as “settlers”, the rights group said, adding that dozens of people are still unaccounted for.

ISIS Cells Blew Up Another Gas Pipeline In Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula

On December 25, ISIS claimed responsibility for an attack on another gas pipeline in the Sinai Peninsula in eastern Egypt.

The attack, which took place a day earlier, targeted the main pipeline suppling the city of Arish in North Sinai with gas. Residents of the city shared on social media videos showing large flames rising from the pipeline.

In a statement published by its news agency Amaq, ISIS said its cells blew up Arish’s main gas pipeline using several improvised explosive devices.

Governor of North Sinai Mohamed Abdel-Fadil Shousha said the attack didn’t effect gas supplies to Arish, its industrial zone or the nearby power station. The large fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters and workers of the Egyptian Natural Gas Company.

According to Shousha, Egyptian security forces launched an investigation into the attack and are now combing the surroundings of the pipeline.

This was not the first such attack by ISIS cells. On November 19, the terrorists blew up the al-Arish-al-Qantara gas pipeline in North Sinai.

The ISIS influence in the Sinai Peninsula appears to be growing once again. The terrorist group is carrying out bigger, bolder attacks, despite the immense efforts by Egyptian government forces.

Britain And EU Release Full Text Of Post-Brexit Trade Deal

Britain and the European Union on Saturday published the full text of the post-Brexit trade agreement aimed at governing their relationship when the UK definitively leaves the bloc's single market in just five days.

The document, which is more than 1,200 pages long, lays out detail on trade, law enforcement and dispute settlement among other arrangements after the UK leaves the single market and customs union on 31 December.

Despite the complexity of the document, which includes explanatory notes and side agreements on nuclear cooperation and the exchange of classified information, both sides have indicated they will rush through the adoption.

However, with fishing rights one of the final sticking points in the negotiations, a UK fishing industry body condemned the deal as "paltry".

David Frost, the UK's chief negotiator, told reporters on Saturday the deal was "one of the biggest and broadest agreements ever covering not just trading goods, but services, aviation, road transport, Social Security, health cooperation, law enforcement".

"This should be the beginning of a moment of national renewal for us," Frost said, reiterating that the agreement allowed Britain to leave the single market and the customs union without aligning to the EU and the European Court of Justice.

“You Were Hired to Clean Glass and Other Menial Tasks” – DISGUSTING! Dominion Voting Systems Sends Nasty Letter to Witness Mellissa Carone

Mellissa Carone is the courageous Dominion whistleblower who came forward to allege major systemic voting fraud at the TCF Center in Detroit on election night 2020. Last week, the CEO of Dominion Voting Services, John Poulos, testified before the Michigan Senate.

Mellissa Carone told The Gateway Pundit that the Dominion CEO lied several times during his testimony.

Because she had the gall to stand up to the elites Mellissa Carone is now under constant attack. The elites do not like it when the workers step out of line.

Now Dominion Voting Systems is threatening Mellissa Carone saying she was only hired to “clean glass” and for “other menial tasks.”

Dominion also claimed Mellissa was a star witness when Rudy Giuliani brought in DOZENS of witnesses to testify.

This is what these awful people think of working Americans!

The Daily Caller reported:

Dominion Voting Systems attorneys wrote to a number of President Donald Trump’s allies including Sidney Powell and former Dominion contractor Mellissa Carone asking they stop claiming the company had “rigged” the 2020 election, according to Law and Crime.

Dominion attorneys Thomas Clare and Megan Meier sent letters ordering those concerned to stop making “defamatory” statements, including those that claim the company “rigged or improperly influenced” the 2020 presidential election, Law & Crime reported of the letter sent Dec. 22 to Carone. Dominion’s letter to Carone also warned that “litigation regarding these issues is imminent,” according to Law & Crime.

“You gained international infamy earlier this month as Rudy Giuliani’s so-called ‘star witness’ who could supposedly corroborate outlandish accusations that Dominion has somehow rigged or otherwise improperly influenced the outcome of the Nov. 2020 U.S. presidential election,” Clare and Meier reportedly wrote in the letter to Carone. “Without a shred of corroborating evidence, you have claimed that you witnessed several different versions of voter fraud—ranging from one story involving a van, to other accusations that votes were counted multiple times. You published these statements even though you knew all along that your attacks on Dominion have no basis in reality.”

Study investigates effects of COVID-19 vaccine on male fertility

MIAMI – The University of Miami is investigating the possible effects of the coronavirus vaccine on male fertility.

Lead researchers Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, a reproductive urologist with U Health, initiated an earlier study which found the virus was present in the testicles for up to six months following infection.

That spurred his team to question the virus’ effect on sperm and reproduction.

His team is now looking at the potential impact of the vaccine as well.

“We’re evaluating the sperm parameters and quality before the vaccine and after the vaccine. From the biology of the COVID vaccine we believe it shouldn’t affect fertility but we want to do the study to make sure that man who want to have kids in the future to assure them it’s safe to go ahead and get the vaccine,” Ramasamy said.

Study participants must have a fertility evaluation before receiving the vaccine.

To protect fertility, some men may want to consider freezing their sperm prior to vaccination.
