Daw Noe Ku, an internally displaced people’s (IDP) camp in Karenni State, Burma, stands as both a testament to resilience and faith, and a stark reminder of the plight faced by displaced people who have lost their homes, farms, and loved ones while fleeing the conflict that has gripped the country for 75 years.

Christian Priest Carries Rifle During Christmas Mass in Lebanon (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/christian-priest-carries-rifle-during-christmas-mass-lebanon/
A Christian priest from the parish of Mazraat Yeshua was seen carrying a rifle during the Christmas Eve Divine Liturgy.
The priest’s decision comes against a backdrop of increasing violence and threats directed at Christian communities in Lebanon.
Recent incidents, such as the vandalism of a Nativity scene in the town of Faraya, where a handgun was placed near the display, have heightened fears among the faithful. Residents responded by gathering in protest, ringing church bells, and calling for greater security measures.
Lebanon’s demographic landscape has shifted significantly over the years, according to ECSPE 2012 study.
According to the CIA World Factbook, the Christian population declined from approximately 46% in 2012 to 32.4% in 2020, while the Muslim population rose to 67.8%.
The priest’s actions, intended as a statement of protection and resilience, were met with disapproval from church authorities.
Monsignor Abdo Abu Kasm, head of the Catholic Media Center, emphasized that such displays are “unacceptable” and reiterated that “the true weapon of the Church is the weapon of prayer.”

Trump Effect: Mexico to Open Shelters for Deported Migrants by January 20: Report
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/trump-effect-mexico-open-shelters-deported-migrants-january/
The government of Mexico is planning to open twenty-five shelters for Mexican citizens deported by the incoming Trump administration. The shelters will be opened by Trump’s inauguration on January 20, according to comments by Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar at a press conference Monday reported by Border Report.
The temporary shelters will hold about 500 each, totally 12,000. Some will house single men, others will house unaccompanied children, women and family units.
In the weeks after the November 5 election, President-elect Trump sparred with Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum over his threat to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada over the failure of those governments to stop migrants and drugs from coming into the U.S.
The announcement Monday by Gov. Marina del Pilar is a sign Trump is winning the battle with Sheinbaum.

Wikipedia’s left-wing bias is well known. Conservatives have been pointing it out for years.
Now it has been revealed that as a company, Wikipedia spends a massive amount of cash on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which is no surprise at all.
This just confirms what conservatives have been saying about the online encyclopedia all along.

Schumer Reveals Plan to Blunt Trump’s MAGA Agenda
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/schumer-reveals-plan-blunt-trumps-maga-agenda/
Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed his plan to blunt Trump’s MAGA agenda.
Schumer told Politico’s Playbook that the judiciary will be the Democrats’ strongest “barrier” against Trump’s plans.
Last month Trump sounded the alarm as the Democrats tried to stack the courts with Marxist judges before the new Congress begins.
The 119th US Congress begins on January 3, 2025.
Republicans will control all three branches of government after Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide with huge down ballot victories.
The Republicans kept control of the House of Representatives and took control the Senate in a huge governmentwide sweep this election.
The US Supreme Court currently has 6 Conservative justices and 3 three liberal justices.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has rammed through a record number of judges on his way out the door.
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” Trump said.
Schumer oversaw the confirmation of his 235th judge last Friday, breaking the record set by Republican leader Mitch McConnell during the first Trump administration.
The Democrats are going to use activist Biden, Clinton and Obama judges to blunt Trump’s agenda.

Silicon Valley Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya Says Obama the Biggest Political Loser of 2024
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/silicon-valley-billionaire-chamath-palihapitiya-says-obama-biggest/
Barack Obama, the man who once promised “hope and change,” has become the emblem of everything wrong with the Democrat Party’s trajectory.
Obama, who campaigned vigorously for Kamala Harris, framed the election as a choice between values and character.
Despite his efforts, Harris suffered a decisive defeat, with President-elect Donald Trump securing 312 electoral votes to Harris’s 226 and winning the popular vote by nearly three million.
Former Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Washington Examiner, “It’s no longer the party of Obama… A good political party knows how to look forward, not backward.”
During the “All-In Holiday Spectacular” special, Silicon Valley billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya has labeled former President Barack Obama as the “biggest political loser of 2024.” Continue…
Zuckerberg Dismisses Reports He Is Building a Huge ‘Doomsday Bunker’ Under His Hawaiian Compound, Insists It’s ‘Just a Little Shelter’
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/zuckerberg-dismisses-reports-he-is-building-huge-doomsday/
The world has become increasingly dangerous, and the ultra-rich are reacting to this with very concrete plans.
As of Thursday, META CEO Mark Zuckerberg is believed to have a net worth of $215 billion, and he, too is reportedly jumping in the Doomsday bandwagon, though he denies it.
Zuckerberg has dismissed reports that he is building a 5,000-square-foot ‘Doomsday bunker’ underneath a $270 million compound in Hawaii.
He is saying that ‘it’s just a little shelter’.
In an interview with Bloomberg about a week ago, he addressed rumors that he is building an underground facility beneath his sprawling 1,400-acre estate on the island of Kauai.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with reporters on Thursday, the day after the Western Christmas Holiday.
Putin was asked about ending the Ukraine War. He told reporters that, “God is with us.”
Reporter: Do you believe that the conflict will be over by 2025?
Vladimir Putin: “I believe in God. And God is with us.”
It is not unusual for the Russian president to speak about God.
In 2022 Putin has called Western sanctions against Russia “reckless and insane” and accused the US of acting like God in their targeting his country.

Kachelman: A Christmas Perspective – The Impact of Jesus Christ’s Birth
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/kachelman-christmas-perspective-impact-jesus-christs-birth/
Today is celebrated as Christ’s birth. There is a good debate on the factuality of the specific day. However, there is no debate on the historical fact. And, there is no explanation for the impact of Jesus Christ upon the world except to say He is the very Son of God, One of the Godhead Three, miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a Virgin, shunned, slandered and savaged by the Religious and Political Elite of His time. He was beaten, crucified and died because of jealous greed. But death could not keep Him bound, He was resurrected on the third day with a message swiftly spreading through the world bringing the “joyous glad tidings” that His birth announced.
Jesus Christ is the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. Continue…
Dan Crenshaw Spends Christmas Sparring on X/Twitter After Being Called Out on Accepting $220,000 Illegal Campaign Contribution — Threatens Catturd
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/dan-crenshaw-spends-christmas-sparring-x-twitter-after/
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), often referred to by his critics as “Eye Patch McCain,” engaged in a heated exchange on X following renewed scrutiny over his acceptance of illegal campaign contributions totaling over $220,000 during the 2020 election cycle.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) had fined Crenshaw’s campaign $42,000 for failing to return these unlawful donations.
FEC records confirm that in Dec 2022 Crenshaw’s campaign entered a conciliation agreement to pay a $42000 fine for “knowingly accept[ing] $223,460.26 in apparent excessive and prohibited contributions for the 2020 primary and general elections.”
Popular conservative commentator and meme creator “Catturd” called out Crenshaw on X, accusing him of betraying Republican values by accepting illegal campaign donations.
“Never doubt me when I call these scumbags out,” Catturd wrote.
Crenshaw responded to the allegations with a string of tweets dismissing them as baseless smears and accusing his detractors of spreading misinformation. In one post, he threatened legal action against Catturd. Continue…
THWARTED BOMBINGS: Moscow’s Federal Security Service Foils a Series of Ukrainian-Plotted Assassination Attempts Against High-Ranking Russian Defense Officials (VIDEOS)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/thwarted-bombings-moscows-federal-security-service-foils-series/
During the three years of war in Ukraine, the Kiev Nazi-friendly regime of Volodymyr Zelensky has never shied away from deploying ‘asymmetrical tactics’ (a.k.a. terrorism) to try to get back at enemies behind the frontlines.
A little over a week ago, Ukrainian services got themselves a ‘victory’ by admittedly blowing up Russian Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Chief, General Kirillov, outside his building by detonating a bomb attached to an electric scooter.
But, today, it arises that Russia’s Federal Security Service said it had foiled multiple plots by Kiev to kill high-ranking Russian officers and their families in Moscow.
The attacks would use bombs disguised as power banks or document folders.

"Doesn't Fit MSM Narrative": Latest Arctic Ice Data Shows 26% Larger Than 2012
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/doesnt-fit-msm-narrative-latest-arctic-ice-data-shows-26-larger-2012
Climate realist Tony Heller took to X to highlight the climate misinformation and disinformation campaigns waged by far-left corporate media on the global public.
Heller referenced a 2007 BBC News article titled "Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'," which warned readers of the supposed threat that "latest modeling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years."
The BBC article's baseless claim was designed to instill climate fears across the public to ram through a radical de-growth climate agenda across the Western world.
Heller then cited NOAA Sea Ice Extent data of the Arctic from Sept. 16, 2012, and Sept. 7, 2024, and found:
"This year's minimum Arctic sea ice extent was 26% larger than 2012. @BBCNews said the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013."

These Are Top 20 Countries By Average (And Median) Wealth
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/these-are-top-20-countries-average-and-median-wealth
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu, shows the top 20 countries according to average (mean) wealth and median wealth, using data sourced from the UBS Global Wealth Report 2024.
Comparing countries by these two different metrics reveals insights into wealth distribution and inequality.
Average vs. Median Wealth: What’s the Difference?
Average wealth is the total wealth of a country’s people divided by the size of its population. Also known as a mean average, this measurement can be skewed by extremely high values such as the presence of billionaires.
Median wealth represents the middle value of wealth, when everyone’s wealth is arranged in order. This measurement is less affected by massive outliers. Continue…

The Weaponization Of Information And Digital Tools To Occupy And Derail Your Mind
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/weaponization-information-and-digital-tools-occupy-and-derail-your-mind
Dr. Robert Malone discusses his book “Psywar,” exploring fifth-generation warfare, psychological operations, narrative control, societal impacts, and the challenges of discerning reality in a manipulated information landscape.
Like all of us, Dr. Robert Malone and his wife Jill had to grope around for understanding during the early days of Covid. What began as a diligent effort to help the world cope with a novel disease, soon turned into a disconcerting series of discoveries and unpleasant personal and professional experiences.
Dr. Malone’s journey toward understanding the true origins and purposes of Covid and into the public eye began with a phone call in early January 2020. A retired CIA operative alerted him to a novel coronavirus in Wuhan, prompting Malone to mobilize his team to assess the threat.
His rapid assessment of the coronavirus landscape revealed the bleak history of vaccine development for coronaviruses, promptly leading him to focus on drug repurposing as a more viable strategy.
However, Malone immediately encountered unprecedented resistance to publishing his findings on drug repurposing. He recently told me in the podcast (lined here and below) that “it was exceedingly difficult to get anything published concerning drug repurposing for this particular virus,”
As our conversation unfolded, Malone shared how his realization of the broader forces at play developed. One thing led to another, policies contradicted known facts, vaccine harms were buried, and there was no official curiosity in challenging any of this or doing better.
He soon discovered that these weren’t errors, but reflected a coordinated effort to control the narrative, a strategy that had been pre-planned, as evidenced by exercises like Event 201. This realization was a turning point for Malone, marking his entry into the realm of psychological operations, or “Psywar,” as he titled his latest book. Continue…

Honda and Nissan may soon be the world’s third-largest automaker after announcing plans to potentially merge companies.Both Japanese automakers signed a memorandum of understanding, which included the possibility for Mitsubishi Motors, an alliance member of Nissan, to potentially join in the merger as well.
“Today marks a pivotal moment as we begin discussions on business integration that has the potential to shape our future,” said Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida in a statement released on Monday.
“If realized, I believe that by uniting the strengths of both companies, we can deliver unparalleled value to customers worldwide who appreciate our respective brands. Together, we can create a unique way for them to enjoy cars that neither company could achieve alone.”
According to Honda president Toshihiro Mibe, the two companies would continue their operations under a joint holding company, with Honda leading the new management.
However, the long term goal is to have a formal merger agreement by June and to have everything completed and up on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by August 2026. Continue…
Liberals considering de-listing Syrian al-Qaeda offshoot HTS as terrorist group
https://tnc.news/2024/12/27/liberals-considering-delisting-syrian-al-qaeda-offshoot/
Following the recent regime change in Syria the Canadian government is reviewing sanctions against militant groups involved in driving out Bashar al-Assad.
Key considerations include potentially lifting sanctions imposed in 2011 and reassessing the designation of the rebel group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham as a terrorist organization.
Currently, HTS is a Listed Terrorist Entity as defined by Public Safety Canada.
Public Safety Canada says the group is responsible for nearly 600 attacks including “ambushes, kidnappings, assassinations, Improvised Explosive Device attacks and suicide bombings” throughout Syria and the Levant.
“In March 2017, 2 HTS suicide bombers attacked Damascus, killing at least 74 people, including 8 children. More recently, on December 21, 2019, HTS claimed killing 30 Syrian regime troops in a suicide bombing in Raffa, a town in the southeast of Idlib governorate,” writes Public Safety Canada. Continue…
Canadian rage index at multi-year highs, Donald Trump tops the list of concerns
https://tnc.news/2024/12/27/canadian-rage-index-trump-tops-list/
As the hectic year wraps up, Canadians are reflecting on the year’s big news stories with anger rather than positivity.
The biggest and most rage-inducing news stories featured U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, including his election victory and his recent tariff threats.
In an annual poll conducted by Pollara titled the “Rage Index,” 63% of Canadians said that they had negative feelings toward the news of 2024, compared to only 5% of Canadians who are feeling positive. This is a noticeable bump from the 58% of Canadians who said they were angry with the news of the year in 2022.
The overall rage index shows that 55% of Canadians indicated that they are feeling rageful, compared to the 50% of Canadians who agreed with this sentiment in 2022.
The number one news story that Canadians paid attention to was the presidential election that occurred south of the border in which the Republicans’ Trump beat Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris in a landslide victory, winning nearly all of the swing states up for grabs.
Overall, 86% of Canadians paid some level of attention to the election, with 50% of Canadians moderately following the American election and 36% actively searching for news on the election. Only 12% of Canadians heard about the election in passing. Continue…
Tories use committee to push non-confidence vote as early as Jan. 30
https://tnc.news/2024/12/27/tories-committee-non-confidence-vote-jan-301/
The House of Commons could vote non-confidence in the Trudeau government as early as Jan. 30, a Conservative MP says.
John Williamson, the Conservative chair of the public accounts committee, said his committee will meet before the House of Commons sits again Jan. 27 and entertain a motion of non-confidence in the federal Liberals.
Williamson outlined the plan in a letter to the House of Commons which he shared on social media Friday.
“It is now clear that the Liberal government does not have the confidence of Parliament. Conservative, Bloc Quebecois, and NDP members — representing a majority of MPs — have all announced they will vote non-confidence in the Liberal government,” the letter said. “In the event Liberal members on the committee attempt to filibuster and delay the passage of this non-confidence motion, I am prepared to schedule meetings throughout January.”
He said if the motion passes in the committee it would be sent to the House of Commons Jan. 27, the first day parliament returns after the six-week Christmas break. This means it could be debated on and voted on “as early as Thursday, Jan. 30.”
The committee has five Liberal members, four Conservatives, and one each for the Bloc and NDP, meaning the motion will pass six to five if all the opposition parties vote together. Continue…

The radical transgender movement thrives in our schools, preying on the innocence of vulnerable minors.
However, concerned parents are fighting back against the scourge, including "Billboard Chris." The activist travels the globe, wearing a sandwich board with a very simple message to start much-need conversations on the issue.
"We're making a lot of progress really all across the globe in terms of creating awareness," Elston told Rebel News. "People sometimes ask me, 'what's the most intelligent argument you've ever heard in favor of trying to change the sex of children?'" he said. "And of course, there aren't any."
Elston notes that radical left-wing activists, who support the social transitioning of children, commonly parrot manipulative tactics in defence of the indefensible. Simply put – there is no such thing as a transgender child.
OpenAI To Produce AI Weapons
https://www.truth11.com/openai-to-produce-ai-weapons/
Earlier this month, the company that brings us ChatGPT announced its partnership with California-based weapons company, Anduril, to produce AI weapons. The OpenAI-Anduril system, which was tested in California at the end of November, permits the sharing of data between external parties for decision making on the battlefield. This fits squarely within the US military and OpenAI’s plans to normalize the use of AI on the battlefield.
Anduril, based in Costa Mesa, makes AI-powered drones, missiles, and radar systems, including surveillance towers, Sentry systems, currently used at US military bases worldwide as well as the US-Mexico border and on the British coastline to detect migrants on boats. On December 3rd, they received a three-year contract with the Pentagon for a system that gives soldiers AI solutions during attacks.
In January, OpenAI deleted a direct ban in their usage policy on “activity that has high risk of physical harm” which specifically included “military and warfare” and “weapons development.” Less than one week after doing so, the company announced a partnership with the Pentagon in cybersecurity.

Hospital workers who refused COVID vaccine lose court battle
https://www.thetrillium.ca/news/health/hospital-workers-who-refused-covid-vaccine-lose-court-battle-10002950
More than 50 hospitals and hospital groups were named in a class action lawsuit by employees terminated or suspended for not getting a COVID-19 vaccine
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has dismissed a class action lawsuit launched by 473 Ontario healthcare workers who refused to get vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic and were suspended or terminated.
In a lengthy ruling released last week, the court dismissed the workers' claim due to lack of jurisdiction, abuse of process and failure to disclose a reasonable cause of action.
The judge awarded court costs against the plaintiffs to the tune of $190,000.
The action named various government defendants, including Premier Doug Ford, former health minister Christine Elliott, current health minister Sylvia Jones, and former minister of long-term care Paul Calandra.
It also named 54 hospitals and hospital groups across Ontario, including Cambridge Memorial.
Two employees at Cambridge Memorial were part of the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs said the directive they get vaccinated, along with other measures, breached their Charter rights, breached various forms of legislation, and "amounted to misfeasance of public office, conspiracy, intimidation, and intentional infliction of mental anguish."
The court ruled it has no jurisdiction over the claims made by unionized employees.
The court also said the claim constitutes an abuse of process because "the scope of the action is prejudicial, the pleadings are frivolous and vexatious and many of the plaintiffs weren't named or improperly listed."
"It pleads bald allegations without material facts."
The claim failed to prove the defendants were working to conspire with each other to declare "a false pandemic and implementation of coercive and damaging measures" that violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights.
"It strains all credulity to accept that the Premier of Ontario, a number cabinet ministers and 54 non-governmental defendants somehow conspired to concoct a plan to declare a 'false pandemic' all for the predominant purpose of harming the plaintiffs," reads the court ruling.
Together the hospitals sought to recoup $235,589 in legal fees while the province set its partial indemnity costs at $21,425.
The plaintiffs didn't think any costs should be awarded because they are "public interest litigants."
Their lawyer suggested that if costs were awarded, they should be fixed at an amount no higher than $47,462 which reflects their own partial indemnity costs.
Instead, the court, taking into account "the claim's inflammatory, unfounded, and outlandish allegations of conspiracy and misrepresentation" sought punitive measures against the plaintiffs and awarded reduced costs to the hospitals, including disbursements at $175,000.
The plaintiffs will also have to pay the province's costs of $15,000.

Bird flu mutated inside US patient, raising concern

The bird flu virus found in a severely ill patient hospitalized in the United States has mutated to become better adapted to human airways, though there is no evidence it has spread beyond the individual, authorities said.
Earlier this month, officials announced an elderly Louisiana patient was in “critical condition” with a severe H5N1 infection.
An analysis posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its website Thursday found that a small percentage of the virus detected in the patient’s throat had genetic changes that may lead to “increased virus binding” to certain “cell receptors found in the upper respiratory tract of humans.” Continue…

Trump’s Canada annexation idea worth exploring – millionaire investor

Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary said the nations need to deepen their economic ties
US President-elect Donald Trump’s idea of annexing Canada is a great opportunity to think about forming a true union between the neighboring states, Canadian investor and Shark Tank reality TV star Kevin O’Leary has said.
Trump ruffled some feathers in Ottawa recently when he claimed that Canadians would benefit if their country became America’s “51st state.”
“Canadians over the holidays – the last two days – have been talking about this. They want to hear more,” O’Leary told Fox Business on Friday.
Closer ties between the two North American countries could have its benefits, even if “there’s obviously a lot of issues,” he added. According to O’Leary, the Canadian public wants “to understand what the proposal really is.” Continue…

The US president-elect’s bold talk on Canada, Panama, and Greenland is more than a joke – it’s a warning
Donald Trump’s most notable contribution to world politics since his re-election as US president has been stirring the pot with audacious comments: annexing Canada, buying Greenland, and reclaiming the Panama Canal. These remarks have sparked retaliatory statements from governments, a flurry of internet humor, and even some thoughtful analysis.
While most observers dismiss these musings as an attempt to emotionally destabilize negotiating partners — a hypothesis supported by Trump’s grumblings over Western Europe’s energy purchases from the US — there’s a deeper layer worth exploring. Beyond the entertainment value (and let’s admit, we all need some lighthearted headlines amidst global tensions), Trump’s provocations might just be making a larger point: state sovereignty is no longer the unshakable concept we once believed it to be.

Trump says Bill Gates has asked to visit him at Mar-a-Lago
https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-says-bill-gates-has-asked-to-visit-him-at-mar-a-lago
"When are you coming to the 'Center of the Universe,' Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight."
In a post to Truth Social on Friday, President-elect Donald Trump said that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has requested to visit with him at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
"Where are you? When are you coming to the 'Center of the Universe,' Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT," Trump wrote.
This comes as various tech executives have been meeting with Trump at his Florida estate ahead of his January inauguration. Some executives have donated to his inaugural fund.
Trump met with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ahead of Christmas, with the billionaire donating $1 million through his company to the fund. Joining Bezos for dinner was his fiance, Lauren Sanchez. Amazon will also be streaming the inauguration, which will amount to an in-kind donation valued at another $1 million.
TikTok CEO Shou Chew has also met with Trump, as the company is fighting its looming ban in the US.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump in late November for a private meeting. In December it was revealed that Zuckerberg directed his company to make a $1 million donation to the inaugural fund.
While Gates reportedly donated $50 million to a Vice President Kamala Harris PAC in the 2024 election, he congratulated Trump on his landslide victory in November, per The Hill. "Congratulations to President Trump and VP-elect Vance. America is at its strongest when we use ingenuity and innovation to improve lives here in the U.S. and around the world. I hope we can work together now to build a brighter future for everyone."
THE CLIMATE LIE EXPOSED! - IMF Calls For Global Economic Lockdowns & Famine To Save Planet!
https://odysee.com/@WAM:0/theclimatelieexposedwam:3
Josh Sigurdson reports on the economy crushing restrictions that The IMF wants to enforce on countries worldwide as more and more o the climate lie gets exposed for the fraud that it is.
A recent arctic ice study shows that the data doesn't add up. The ice in the arctic is 26% larger than 2012.
The media does not want to talk about this but it completely debunks the propaganda spread for three decades about the ice caps melting and the world warming.
First in the 1970s they said we're entering into an Ice Age. Then they said in the 1990s and 2000s that the world was warming and New York City would be under water by 2012. Now they continue to push this myth despite blatant evidence the world is cooling.
Perhaps, weather changes naturally as we've been saying for decades.
But this doesn't fit the MSM narrative as governments worldwide attempt to bring in insane carbon restrictions, Net Zero laws that ban meat and travel as well and rationing of food on digital IDs as governments worldwide devastate the farming industry, bulldoze the grid and force people into desperation.
A few days of calm weather in Germany has devastated the grid as they become dependent on wind power. It's pathetic.
The IMF is pushing economy crushing restrictions and the UN just passed alongside 193 countries the Pact For The Future which ensures carbon credits, digital IDs, rations and control of people's bank accounts.
Also, 31 billion pounds of green funds have gone missing from the World Bank.

Trump Posts Bizarre Truth Social Message Allegedly Directed at Elon Musk — Claims Bill Gates Requested Mar-a-Lago Meeting
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/trump-posts-bizarre-truth-social-message-allegedly-directed/
President-elect Donald Trump dropped a cryptic message on Truth Social Friday, claiming Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had requested to visit Mar-a-Lago while seemingly directing a personal message to Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
“Where are you? When are you coming to the “Center of the Universe,” Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT,” the post read.
The cryptic note has left pundits and the public wondering: Was this message intended for tech billionaire Elon Musk? The phrase “We miss you and x!” appears to be a direct nod to Musk and his son named X Æ A-Xii.

For some people, the pandemic has forever changed their behavior.
Despite being four years removed from the initial outbreak and even the Center for Disease Control declaring an end to the “Public Health Emergency,” there are overly concerned Americans who still cling to the outrageously bizarre and paranoid behavior the rest of us have come to recognize since 2020.

FBI Scientist Claims Biden Regime Silenced Lab Leak Evidence Linking COVID-19 to Wuhan Facility
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/fbi-scientist-claims-biden-regime-silenced-lab-leak/
In a shocking revelation, former FBI senior scientist Dr. Jason Bannan has claimed that the Biden administration deliberately sidelined critical evidence linking the origins of COVID-19 to a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Despite years of denial and censorship from government agencies, Big Tech, and mainstream media, the lab-leak theory—once dismissed as a conspiracy—has gained substantial traction, now supported by findings from the FBI and other experts.
Since the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, government officials and medical institutions have fervently dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis, labeling it a “conspiracy theory.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and Dr. Anthony Fauci have repeatedly downplayed the possibility of a lab leak, insisting instead that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans.
Meanwhile, Big Tech and mainstream media giants have censored discussions on the topic, banning and discrediting voices that dared to question the official narrative.
Earlier this month, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic concluded its two-year investigation into the COVID-19 crisis, unveiling its final report titled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned and a Path Forward.”

DHS CISA in a Panic Over Chinese Penetration of Telecommunication Companies
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/dhs-cisa-panic-chinese-penetration-telecommunication-companies/
The Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS-CISA) released an issuance entitled “Mobile Communications Best Practice Guidance” on December 18, 2024.
From the classic cybersecurity practitioner’s perspective, it was full of technical guidance on how to make the mobile computing environment secure.
Having been part of the combined, inter-agency response team for several broad enterprise breaches over the past 20 years, my interest was piqued.
These documents take months and months of analysis, staffing, and inter-agency approval before publishing. Reading through the DHS CISA document, there were several flags that began to jump out at me.
First, the guidance was complex from even the cybersecurity expert’s point of view, much less the average, typical user of mobile computing and smartphones.
Second, the document did not reference any of the “Typhoon” series of Chinese intrusions that were first revealed by Microsoft in May of 2023.
And third, after years of lecturing everyone on the merits and virtues of 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) there was a sentence that belied panic.
The lead was buried in the third point of guidance: “Do not use SMS as a second factor for authentication.”
The DHS CISA response guidance reveals they are getting their butts kicked Continue…
Here We Go Again: CDC Confirms First Severe Bird Flu Case with Mutations — Experts Sound Alarms About Potential New Pandemic
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/here-we-go-again-cdc-confirms-first-severe/
As if the public hasn’t been subjected to enough panic in recent years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is back at it, this time stoking fears about a new potential pandemic.
The agency recently confirmed the first severe U.S. human case of H5N1 bird flu in a 65-year-old Louisiana man who had contact with sick backyard birds.
Predictably, experts are now sounding the alarms about the virus’s supposed mutations and potential for human transmission.
According to AP, genetic analysis of the virus revealed mutations in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene, which experts claim could increase the virus’s ability to infect humans.
These mutations were allegedly absent in samples from the infected birds on the patient’s property, suggesting that the virus may have mutated post-infection.
This case is not isolated. A similar infection was reported in a teenager in British Columbia, Canada, earlier this year, with both cases exhibiting mutations that facilitate human infection.
Despite these warnings, the CDC maintains that the current risk to the general public remains low.

DEVELOPING: Graphic Bodycam Footage Released of New York Correctional Officers Beating Prisoner to Death
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/developing-graphic-bodycam-footage-released-new-york-correctional/
Bodycam footage of New York State prison guards at Marcy Correctional Facility fatally beating a handcuffed prisoner was released on Friday.
Robert Brooks, 43, who has been in prison since 2017 and serving a 12-year sentence for stabbing his girlfriend, was beaten by New York State prison guards on December 9. He died one day after the beating.
The New York Attorney General’s office released the graphic footage amid an investigation into the fatal beating.
The footage shows officers kicking and punching Brooks.
According to the autopsy obtained by WKTV, “preliminary findings show concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck as the cause of death, as well as the death being due to actions of another.”
Because the officers’ bodycams were not activated, their cameras were in ‘standby mode’ and did not capture any audio.
14 workers, including officers and a prison nurse, are in the process of being fired following the fatal beating.

Yesterday (26), Israeli air force unleashed massive air strikes against Yemen, as yet another retaliation for Houthi attacks in this particular sub-conflict in the greater Middle East war.
The United Nations Secretary General has denounced the ‘escalation’ in hostilities between Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Israel.
The Israeli strikes on targets, including at the airport in Sana’a, are ‘especially alarming’, as it arose that the head of the World Health Organization was in the airport, about to board a plane.
Israel reportedly struck targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthis, with local press saying at least six people were killed.
A spokesperson for UN Secretary General, António Guterres, said in a statement, as reported by The Guardian: Continue…

Eight Angels Found Hiding Nearly in Plain Sight at Church Where Paul Revere Hung Famous Lanterns
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/eight-angels-found-hiding-nearly-plain-sight-church/
Visitors to the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts, have apparently entertained angels unawares.
Eight paintings of the biblical beings were recently uncovered from thick layers of paint in the historic Boston church, the Associated Press reported Monday.
They’ve remained hidden for more than 100 years.
While the paintings were originally created around 1730, church officials had them covered in 1912 as part of a renovation.
The art depicts the angels with wings and round child-like faces.
“It’s really been quite a revelation to find these really interesting and historic works of art on the walls of the church that nobody has seen in our lifetime,” murals conservator Gianfranco Pocobene said. ”Just to be part of a project where we are revealing something from colonial America is really extraordinary.”
The Old North Church is famous for its role in the American Revolution in 1775.
It’s where the legendary Paul Revere saw the two lanterns hanging that warned the British were coming.
“Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch of the North Church tower as a signal light, — One, if by land, and two, if by sea,” the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow read. Continue…
Houston Methodist Hospital Faces Fifth Circuit Appeal Over Investigational Drug Mandate
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/houston-methodist-hospital-faces-fifth-circuit-appeal-investigational/
More than 100 healthcare professionals have taken their fight against Houston Methodist Hospital to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, challenging the hospital’s 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.
The lawsuit filed in Galveston federal court in 2023 alleges that Houston Methodist and CEO Marc Boom violated federal agreements by requiring employees to inject federally owned investigational drugs under threat of penalty.
The case has drawn the attention of medical ethics experts, including consultant Brian Ward. Ward spoke to The Gateway Pundit, saying that “the drugs under Houston Methodist’s mandate were wholly owned by the federal government and classified by the FDA as investigational new drugs.” For example, Ward noted that “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is under Investigational New Drug (IND) application 19736 to this day and is only administered under laws regulating investigational drug treatments.”
Ward argued that Houston Methodist’s actions violated fundamental principles governing investigational medical treatments. He was adamant that “Houston Methodist could not even take possession of the drugs unless it explicitly promised the federal government that it only offers them under voluntary conditions.” Continue…
Germany’s President Dissolves Parliament and Calls Snap Elections – Then Issues a Warning to Elon Musk

Germany will join the list of countries headed to the polls next year.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a speech on Friday that he had dissolved the country’s parliament and a snap election would take place in February.
“I have decided to dissolve the 20th German Bundestag to fix the date for an early election for February 23rd,” he said, adding that “political stability in Germany is a precious asset.”
“It is precisely in difficult times like these that stability requires a government capable of taking action and a reliable majority in parliament,” he continued.
“Therefore, I am convinced that for the good of our country, new elections are the right way.”
Steinmeier also publicly attacked the influence of Elon Musk, declaring that the campaign must be “conducted with fair and transparent means” and warning of the dangers “foreign influence… which is particularly intense on X.”
“Hatred and violence must have no place in this election campaign, nor denigration or intimidation… all this is poison for democracy,” he continued. Continue…
Russia Surrounds Vital Ukrainian Stronghold After Devastating Power Grid Attack
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-surrounds-vital-ukrainian-stonghold-after-devastating-power-grid-attack
Ukraine is facing a long period of rolling blackouts this winter after Russia's "Christmas attack" on the country's energy infrastructure. Ukraine reports at least 70 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones were involved in the onslaught which has left at least 50% of Ukrainians without power (accurate reports on true grid damages are impossible to come by and Ukraine keeps such information censored).
The usefulness of targeting the power grid is undeniable - Any attempt to establish a reliable manufacturing base in western Ukraine to produce armaments will be impossible. Regular scheduled blackouts are now in effect in many parts of Ukraine in order to preserve power resources. Energy Research Center Director Oleksandr Kharchenko says electricity consumption restrictions in Ukraine may remain in effect for another 2-3 years, and that's if the war ends soon. Continue…

Slovakia To Cut Ukraine's Power Supply After Zelensky Gas Flow Threats
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/slovakia-cut-ukraines-power-supply-after-zelensky-gas-flow-threats
After thirteen separate large scale missile and drone strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure this year alone, the country is facing a 50% to 70% grid down scenario just as temperatures are about to drop well below freezing. Rolling blackouts are expected for many months to come, with some energy experts saying that the grid could be down for up to 20 hours per day in many areas.
Power outages are specifically detrimental to industrial production, heating for homes and clean running water. After three years of Russian strikes Ukraine has become increasingly reliant on energy resources from outside the country. Slovakia is one of the nations providing that humanitarian aid. In January to November this year, Slovkia exported 2.4 million megwatthours of electricity, a 152% year-on-year increase. They also provide around 5% of Ukraine's total diesel supply, which is vital for military vehicles and generators.
The deal is reciprocal, with Kyiv refraining from interference with Russian gas flows from pipelines running through Ukraine over to Slovakia. To get gas from other sources would increase Slovakia's energy costs greatly.
Though Slovakia has remained neutral on the war, Ukraine and the European Union have recently accused them of becoming "too cozy" with Vladimir Putin. Zelensky plans to shut down Russian gas pipelines to Slovakia on January 1st. Kyiv has refused to renew a transit deal with Moscow expiring at the end of the year while they remain at war.
Prime Minister Robert Fico, who survived a failed assassination attempt this May, says that he is being demonized by NATO. As the war progresses and Ukraine loses more and more ground to Russia, neutrality is being treated as treason by Kyiv and their western partners. The pressure tactics have, in fact, had the opposite intended effect. Continue…

Forecast 2025 - Taking Out the Trash
"A core reflex in these decades of postmodern insanity was constant rejection of things we thought we knew in favor of New, Improved Beliefs packaged from above.”
Matt Taibbi, Racket News
I would guess that you’re feeling as if anything might happen now. It’s hard to rule out even the possibility that we could all be vaporized before moving onto the next mundane chore of the day. The world order is dangerously in flux. America’s Woke-Jacobin “Joe Biden” regime was defeated in the 2024 election, but they were apparently just a front for the sinister entity we call the “blob” or the Deep State, which in recent years has consistently and garishly acted against our country’s interests. So, the blob abides, and it probably weaves schemes in the deep background of daily life even as a new government awaits. But if the Woke-Jacobin Biden-istas were tied-in with the so-called “globalist” enterprise centered around the EU bureaucracy, with assistance from the World Economic Forum’s network of zillionaires and bankers. . . well, that coalition looks rather broken now. It’s doing a hurt-dance. It’s on the run, a little bit. Continue…

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a less-than-warm welcome from one local as he vacationed with his family at Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, BC.
The woman had some choice words after bumping into the him.
"Mr. prime minister," she calls out, causing Trudeau to turn around and approach her. After shaking hands, she adds, "Please get the f*ck out of BC. You suck."
Trudeau then turns around and walks away.
The Trudeau clan was rumoured to have been in BC, however this was the first confirmed sighting. The video has gone viral on X, with many sharing the original poster's sentiments.
Others, however, have questioned whether it is appropriate to accost a prime minister as he vacations with his family.
In 2025 Critical Political Choices Will Define Canada's Future: Clement
https://www.thebureau.news/p/in-2025-critical-political-choices
Many Canadian politicians have forged unhealthy relationships with China; Ottawa must renew its most important partnership with the United States, former senior Mountie Garry Clement writes
The China Challenge
Since the era of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, many Canadian politicians have forged what we now recognize as unhealthy relationships with China, enabling the country to interfere in our electoral process at all levels of government. This has provided an opportunity for Triads and Chinese Communist Party sympathizers to infiltrate Canadian society and Canadian politics.
In the past decade, Canada’s relationship with China has been strained, primarily due to geopolitical tensions and human rights concerns, but this has not resulted in any meaningful restrictions being placed on China by Canada. In 2025, this relationship will remain a balancing act—Canada must tread carefully between maintaining diplomatic and trade ties with a rising global power while aligning with Western allies who increasingly view China as a strategic adversary. Canadian politicians will also need to understand and accept that United Front Groups existing in Chinese diaspora communities across Canada have been shown to be allied with the Chinese government.
