UnitedHealthcare CEO Assassination: Bullet Casings Inscribed With "Deny, Defend, Depose"

The plot thickens in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as New York Police Department investigators have discovered shell casings at the shooting area engraved with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose."

The shooter, still at large, appeared to have targeted Thompson, waiting for him early Wednesday morning outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel, firing multiple shots from a suppressed 9mm handgun, killing the high-level insurance executive.

The words etched into the metal casings may have multiple meanings, with many on X indicating the words point back to the 2010 book "Delay Deny Defend: Why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it," in which author Jay Feinman "exposes insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight back."

Here's a summary of the book featured on Amazon (an extended summary can be found here):

"The denial of valid insurance claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, the book explains how people can be more careful when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. It also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses."

Taylor Lorenz Says 'We Want These Executives Dead' Hours After Health Insurance CEO Murdered

Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz encouraged people to kill health company executives just hours after the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Biran Thompson.

"And people wonder why we want these executives dead," Lorenz wrote on Bluesky in response to Thompson's murder.

"People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering," Lorenz said in another post. "As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it."

Of note, bullet casings recovered at the scene of Brian Thompson's murder were inscribed with the words "Delay, Deny & Depose."

The Jihadists Take 2nd Major Syrian City After Assad's Army Withdraws

In another stunning advance by Syrian jihadists led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Hama has become the second major Syrian city to fall to the anti-Assad insurgents since the shock campaign based out of Idlib began last week.

The Syrian national army confirmed in a Thursday statement that it has withdrawn from the city, redeploying its forces "to preserve civilian lives and prevent urban combat."

The assault had been happening since Tuesday night, reportedly with violent clashes with the Syrian Army being most concentrated in the Jabal Zayn al-Abidin area, just north of Hama.

Hama is one-third of the way from Aleppo to Damascus, and puts the HTS jihadists a significant step closer to accessing Syria's most populous government regions.

One of the largest Christian towns of Syria, neighboring Muhrada, is now under direct threat.

Israel committing genocide in Gaza – rights group

The Jewish state is intent on “physically destroying” Palestinians, Amnesty International has claimed

Titled ‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza’, the document describes the “killing of civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcible displacement, the obstruction or denial of life-saving goods and humanitarian aid by Israel in Gaza” since October last year.

“Month after month, Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them,” said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International. Israel has been acting “with total impunity,” she added.

COVID Didn’t Cause Surge in Excess Deaths — The Pandemic Response Did

Most excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic can be linked to biological stress brought on by coordinated and large-scale mandates and medical assaults — ranging from lockdowns to vaccination to denial of antibiotics and antivirals — according to a paper released Monday by excess mortality researcher Denis Rancourt, Ph.D.

Most excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic can be linked to biological stress brought on by coordinated and large-scale mandates and medical assaults — ranging from lockdowns to vaccination to denial of antibiotics and antivirals — according to a paper released Monday by excess mortality researcher Denis Rancourt, Ph.D.

The theory that the novel virus and its variants spread globally, causing cascading pandemics and massive numbers of related deaths cannot account for the actual patterns of excess death worldwide during the 2020-2023 COVID-19 period, Rancourt argues in the paper.

That narrative has been used to justify permanent, national vaccination campaigns to repeatedly boost national immunity against new variants, according to the paper. However, it can’t explain what caused 31 million global excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic period according to Rancourt, a lead scientist for 20-plus years at the University of Ottawa in Canada.

Instead, Rancourt argues excess deaths between 2020-2023 can largely be attributed to illnesses including certain types of bacterial pneumonia, also known as aspiration pneumonia, that were often misdiagnosed on death certificates as COVID-19.

Such illnesses typically occur when biological stress affects the immune system making people more susceptible to infections that come from the microbes and parasites in their own bodies — a phenomenon more common among the elderly and immunocompromised — he wrote.

Rancourt concluded:

“Within the present state of knowledge, it is possible that the declared Covid pandemic (2020-2023) was entirely caused by the coordinated and largescale mandates, measures, so-called responses, and medical assaults including testing, diagnostic bias, isolation, denial of treatment (especially antibiotics for pneumonia), mechanical ventilation, sedation, experimental and improper treatments, and vaccination.”

If that is the case, Rancourt said the medical establishment has “vastly underestimated and largely disregarded” the impact of biological — including psychological — stress on health and mortality.

Rancourt also suggested this theory of stress-induced mortality could account for “all pandemics within recorded history,” not only the COVID-19 pandemic because most pandemics have occurred amid major societal and environmental crises.

The paper builds on extensive research into COVID-19 pandemic-related all-cause mortality done by Rancourt and his colleagues at the Canadian nonprofit Correlation Research in the Public Interest over the last several years. It is published on the organization’s website.

COVID virus can’t explain excess mortality

Rancourt and his colleagues have argued that key characteristics of excess mortality during the pandemic period contradict the argument that the COVID-19 virus was responsible for that mortality.

For example, excess mortality varied significantly from country to country, but didn’t cross jurisdictional borders — so there wasn’t evidence that a virus with consistent virulence was spreading from one place to another.

Rancourt also noted that none of the excess mortality peaks preceded the World Health Organization’s announcement on March 11, 2020, that COVID-19 was a global pandemic. Instead, excess mortality peaks often followed vaccine and booster rollouts in many countries.

Citing U.S. data, Rancourt found strong evidence that respiratory infections were the primary condition associated with excess all-cause mortality. However those deaths may have been designated on death certificates as COVID-19, when the primary cause of death was actually something else, he wrote.

For example, Rancourt and colleagues previously found that more than half of the deaths attributed to COVID-19 likely included co-occurring bacterial pneumonia. They concluded that PCR testing schemes led to many bacterial pneumonia infections being misdiagnosed as COVID-19 during a time when key treatments such as antibiotics and ivermectin were withdrawn.

US Frames Syria Airstrikes as ‘Self-Defense’ Despite Happening Amid an Ongoing US-Backed Offensive

CENTCOM statement didn’t even mention ongoing SDF offensives

Tuesday, the Kurdish SDF launched an offensive against a number of villages in eastern Syria. The US backed the offensive with military action, and al-Mayadeen even suggests that the offensive itself came at the behest of the US military. Today we’re getting some more details, and the US is trying to re-frame the narrative of what actually happened.

It is confirmed that the US launched airstrikes as well as the previously reported artillery fire, which targeted Syrian forces in the area of the offensive. The strikes destroyed multiple trucks with rocket launcher systems on them, and also destroyed a T-64 battle tank.

These strikes were launched specifically while the SDF offensive was ongoing, and targeted forces in the area of the attacks. The Pentagon, however, has tried to present their strikes as “self-defense,” claiming that the presence of the military assets firing in an area so close to US-occupied bases posed a “clear and imminent threat.”

The Pentagon is clearly trying to downplay the fact that it carried out airstrikes in support of the SDF trying to seize territory. Indeed, the official statement from CENTCOM leans heavily into the “self-defense” narrative and doesn’t even mention that there was an ongoing SDF battle in the area.

The small US-held bases in that part of eastern Syria are centered around oil and gas fields. The US helped the SDF seize those energy assets in 2017 after a brief occupation by ISIS. The Syrian government had expected to eventually recover those important economic assets, but the indication is that the SDF intends to keep the area, and indeed is trying to expand even further with these new attacks.

All indications are that the US is growing more interested in getting involved in these territory grabs, particularly with Syria already vulnerable because of the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) gaining substantial territory further west. At the same time, the Pentagon seems to want to avoid directly admitting to what they are doing, just branding it as typical “self-defense” action despite it being plainly related to the SDF offensive.

Emmanuel Macron Rules Out Resigning from Presidency as Government Likely to Be Overthrown

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed that he will not resign no matter the result of Wednesday’s no confidence vote in Prime Minister Michel Barnier, which is likely to collapse the second Macronist government this year.

Speaking from the sidelines on his trip to Saudi Arabia, during which France has descended into outright political chaos, President Macron reaffirmed his plans to serve out the remainder of his second term, which is planned to run until April of 2027.

In his first comments since the planned no confidence vote in his prime minister was announced, President Macron said per Le Figaro: “I was elected twice by the French people. I am extremely proud of it and I will honor this trust with all the energy that is mine until the last second to be useful to the country.”

Macron was forced into making the comments while abroad as his government in Paris faces likely ousting on Wednesday as his longtime rival, Marine Le Pen and her populist National Rally party announced this week that it would join a vote of no confidence launched by the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) to take down the government of recently installed Prime Minister Michel Barnier.

Blinken Claims Lebanon ‘Ceasefire Is Holding’ Despite Israeli Fire

“The ceasefire is holding, and we’re using the mechanism that was established when any concerns have arisen about any alleged or purported violations,” Blinken said.

Only 6% of federal workers show up in person on a full-time basis, scathing Senate report reveals

They’re being remote-ly professional.

A paltry 6% of the federal workforce “report in-person on a full-time basis” while almost one-third of federal workers are remote on a full-time basis, in a sharp turn-around from the pre-pandemic era in which only 3% teleworked daily, a report from Sen. Joni Ernst’s office found.

Ernst (R-Iowa), who has long crusaded against the rise in remote federal work, is planning to reveal the fruits of her office’s year and a half inquiry to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy during their visit to the Capitol Thursday.

“The nation’s capital is a ghost town, with government buildings averaging an occupancy rate of 12[%],” Ernst wrote in the blistering report. “If federal employees can’t be found at their desks, exactly where are they?”

The Iowa Republican in particular blasted President Biden’s penchant for ditching the White House for his homes in Delawares or vacations with his rich donors.

21 boats confiscated and 13 arrested in hit against migrant smuggling across the English Channel

Germany arrests 8 and raids 25 locations under French judicial orders in investigation targeting Iraqi-Kurdish criminal network

On 4 December 2024, an operation involving law enforcement and judicial authorities from France and Germany, coordinated by Europol and Eurojust, targeted a large criminal network involved in migrant smuggling activities across the English Channel. The French-led investigation focused on an Iraqi-Kurdish network suspected of illegally smuggling middle-Eastern and East African migrants from France to the United Kingdom using non-EU certified low-quality inflatable boats.

Over 500 officers from the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei) raided several houses and storage spaces under search and arrest warrants issued by the French Court of Lille and executed under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Düsseldorf.

Over 20 French investigators from French Border Police (OLTIM), one analyst from the German Criminal Police (BKA), and three Europol experts were deployed to the German regions of North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Wuerttemberg to support the operational activities on the ground. One British investigator was also present as an observer.

The action day led to:

13 arrests (8 arrests in Germany under French judicial order and 5 in France), including 1 High Value Target

25 locations (15 houses and 10 storage places) searched in Germany

Seizures of equipment include: 21 inflatable boats, 24 engines and 76 life vests, as well as over 600 inner tubes and 100 air pumps

Other seizures include: about EUR 70 000 in cash, gold valued at more than EUR 5 000 and over 40 electronic devices

The investigation, initiated in 2024, uncovered that the suspects, Iraqi and Syrian nationals of Kurdish origin, were in Germany. Further investigation and information exchange that showed they organised the purchase and transportation of inflatable boats, which were unfit for the EU market, from Turkey through France to be stored in Germany.

Migrant smuggling: a continuously deadly threat

Migrant smuggling via small boats has steadily increased since 2019, overtaking lorries in 2021 as the most common method for smuggling migrants from the EU to the United Kingdom. However, enhanced law enforcement measures have led to a significant reduction in smuggling activities, with over 30 % fewer incidents and migrants smuggled in 2023 compared to 2022.

However, the criminal networks involved remain highly active, increasingly violent, and exceptionally adaptive, regularly employing new techniques for crossings. In the first 11 months of 2024, around 34 000 migrants and 630 boats successfully reached the United Kingdom, compared to about 28 000 migrants and 580 boats during the same period in 2023. The loss of lives has also increased; in 2024 this criminal activity led to over 70 deaths at sea, compared to 12 over the same period in 2023. Therefore, law enforcement authorities have further increased their efforts in cross-border operations such as this one.

Illegal migrant children are being handed over to pedophiles following Biden HHS rule change

Congressional hearings reveal alarming lapses in HHS oversight after new rules eased sponsor vetting for illegal migrant minors. Critics say the changes endanger children, with cases tied to trafficking and exploitation.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think that a new(ish) Health and Human Services rule adopted in April of this year, which made the vetting process for potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) a whole lot less intrusive for the adult applicant(s), was a strategic change to promote the trafficking of children, because that’s exactly what it’s done, and Xavier Becerra is to blame.

How can he possibly rationalize a process that doesn’t implement rigorous criminal background checks for every single potential sponsor? If you read the rule, standard protocol is a quick scan of the sex offender registry and a public records check … but FBI background checks only apply to “some” potential sponsors.

Law of unintended consequences, or a natural progression of a deliberately planned scheme?

On November 20, Becerra testified at Capitol Hill before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, and his admissions will sicken you – when Texas’s Chip Roy quizzed Becerra on whether or not he could account for the roughly 400,000 UACs whose whereabouts are reportedly unknown, requiring he respond with either a “yes” or a “no,” Becerra sidestepped and launched into a filibustering word salad.

Brendon O'Connell- Iran is False Opposition

Hasan Rouhani spent six years hanging with Jack Straw. You hang with Jack Straw, you hang with Lord Levy and Lord Rothschild. Zarif the foreign minister, 20 years in the United States.

Armedinejad posed a real threat to Israel - he called for Muslim and Middle East unity. He saw the 88% of Syrian Sunni's were sick of Assad and his two brutal brothers and all we get from Rouhani-Iran groupies is that Syria was a socialist paradise. Assad is hated by the majority of the country.

But they fear Israeli Military Intelligence-controlled ISIS more. ISIS could not have existed were it not for the Iranian controlled Shia Militias steamrolling across Iraq and Syria. Threatening Saudi's border and openly calling for an end to Saudi and Shia control of the holy sites - Saudi walks straight into the arms of Netanyahu and for the first time, an official peace deal is on the cards between Israel and the Gulf States. Thank you Iran and Rouhani and the billionaire generals of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard for that.

This is all top-level machinations. Everyone is controlled by the private western intelligence services who run the drugs and sell the weapons in the region. The average Hezbollah fighter is an illiterate street thug keen for a uniform and a weekly wage. Hezbollah is about as pious as the Catholic Church - up to its neck in the drug and weapons trade, as is Israel and ALL of them to be exact.

🚨TELECOM HACK CHAOS: U.S. SAYS “USE WHATSAPP AND PRAY”

Chinese hackers just pulled off a heist on AT&T, Verizon, and other telecom giants, snooping on live calls, call records, and even top-secret systems in D.C.

The U.S. government’s advice? “Use encrypted apps like Signal or WhatsApp.” Oh sure, that’ll totally stop the hackers who just broke into entire telecom networks.

Officials admit fixing this disaster will take time, so for now, they’re basically saying: text like your life depends on it and hope for the best.

Turkey and Israel are reaping rewards from the chaos in Syria

The losers? The resistance axis: Assad, Tehran and Hezbollah.

The surprise offensive by Syrian rebels led by a radical Islamist group with roots in Al Qaeda dramatizes the enormous regional repercussions set off by Israel’s war against Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Badly battered by Israel’s air strikes and ground campaign in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah’s inability, at least for now, to be a prominent player in defense of the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a real game-changer, as evidenced by the ease and speed with which the insurgents advanced on the ground after launching their campaign on Nov 27.

Having taken Aleppo and gained complete control of Idlib province, the HTP-led insurgents reportedly stormed Hama Thursday following the retreat of the Syrian army and allied forces, which had initially put up a fierce defense with the help of Russian airstrikes.

Their success to date poses a serious dilemma for the United States given that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, is leading the charge, although a number of Turkish-backed groups, including the “Syrian National Army,” are also involved. HTS is identified as a Salafi-Jihadist group and was formerly known as the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front and is designated by the U.S. and other countries as a terrorist group.

Of course, it was Al Qaeda which carried out the worst-ever attack on the U.S. homeland on September 11, 2001. While the leadership of HTS publicly split from Al-Qaeda and appears focused on the local situation in Syria, it remains committed to the Salafi-Jihadi ideology of its former parent organization.

The rebel offensive was launched the same day the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel took effect. The timing was no doubt linked to the weakened state of Hezbollah, which played a critical role in helping the Syrian government gain the upper hand against armed insurgents following the eruption of the civil war in Syria in 2011. Under the ceasefire deal with Israel, Hezbollah is obliged to end its armed presence in southern Lebanon, which could hence hinder the group’s ability to operate as an effective fighting force in Syria.

“They [the armed anti-Syrian government factions] wanted to take advantage of this ceasefire agreement that restricts the movement of Hezbollah,” explained Riad Kahwaji, founder of the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis in an interview with RS.
