Chinese Navy Reveals a Naval Artificial Intelligence “Dreadnaught” Moment

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/chinese-navy-reveals-naval-artificial-intelligence-dreadnaught-moment/

There have been “Revolutions in Military Affairs” (RMAs) over the ages. RMAs are pivot points when something changes warfare dramatically. In the naval arena, one of the most memorable RMAs was the introduction of the HMS Dreadnaught in 1906.

It was said, “Dreadnought made every other exist­ing battleship obsolete, and her name became generic for similar fast, modern vessels. All battleships laid down before her were pejoratively labeled “pre-dreadnought.”

The Chinese Navy (PLAN) has revealed a new vessel that may represent the modern, naval “Dreadnaught” moment. The “Killer Whale” (or Orca), autonomous surface combat vessel has recently been shown in China, cruising on the river from its Guangzhou Shipyard.

This vessel is the largest military purpose USV built to date. It is little coincidence that Guangzhou was the location of the shipyard.

Guangzhou is the Silicon Valley region of China, and the Orca is not just an autonomous warship, but a floating combat data center.

This vessel reflects significant data collection, data analysis, and AI-enabled autonomous actioning.

AI and Autonomy are trending topics, but the Orca is far ahead of any other AI-enabled, autonomous vessel publicly known to date. Continue…

Tim Walz Endorses David Hogg for Vice Chair of the DNC: ‘Courageous Leadership Our Party Needs Right Now’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/tim-walz-endorses-david-hogg-vice-chair-dnc/

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who will now be forever known as the weirdo who ran with Kamala Harris in 2024 and failed, is now endorsing gun control activist David Hogg in his bid to be vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.

The 2024 election showed that Democrats have a serious problem with men, who are fleeing their party in droves.

It’s not clear how having David Hogg in a leadership position would do anything to help fix this problem for them.

None of that seems to matter to Walz, who believes Hogg will provide the ‘courageous leadership our party needs right now.’

Senate Democrats Mocked Over Cringeworthy Video Where They Suddenly Claim to be Fighting for Average Americans

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/senate-democrats-mocked-cringeworthy-video-where-they-suddenly/

Senate Democrats are trying to rebrand themselves. After years of constantly working to stop anything Trump wanted to do, they suddenly want everyone to know that they are not here to be ‘against’ anyone.

They suddenly claim to want you to be able to keep more of your paycheck and that they want to work to bring down the cost of living.

The video that they produced to deliver this message is pure cringe and they are getting dragged for it on social media.

Former European Commissioner and Wannabe Tyrant Thierry Breton Says EU May Cancel German Elections if Right-Wing AfD Wins

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/former-european-commissioner-wannabe-tyrant-thierry-breton-says/

If you were scandalized by the European powers sweeping in to force Romania to cancel its Presidential Elections out of fear of right-winger Calin Georgescu, you better buckle up, according to former European Commissioner—and wannabe tyrant—Thierry Breton.

A Eurofanatic and enthusiast for censorship online, Breton had to resign from the EU after unsuccessfully trying to keep the Elon Musk/Donald Trump podcast from being broadcast.

In an interview on Thursday, Breton said that Elon Musk’s ‘interference’ in the upcoming elections in Germany ‘could lead to a cancellation of the election results.’

BlackRock Exits UN-Backed Net-Zero Climate Pact

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/blackrock-exits-un-backed-net-zero-climate-pact

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager overseeing approximately $11.5 trillion in assets, has decided to withdraw from a climate pact backed by the United Nations (UN) that advocates for aggressive de-carbonizing of the economy.

A BlackRock spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times that the company has decided to withdraw from the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM), a coalition comprised of over 325 signatories managing more than $57.5 trillion, all committed to the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by aligning investment strategies with this objective.

Membership in the climate pact did not affect the way BlackRock managed client portfolios, according to the spokesperson, but it did lead to confusion about the company’s practices and subjected it to legal inquiries from public officials. Despite the NZAM exit, BlackRock remains committed to sustainable investing.

Several major Wall Street banks have recently exited a similar climate-focused organization for lenders called the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), which similarly pushes a net-zero goal.

Republicans, particularly from energy-producing states, have criticized the participation of banks and asset managers in net-zero coalitions as part of a progressive agenda and have accused them of antitrust violations. Continue…

NATO Sends Two Ships To Guard Baltic Sea Infrastructure From Russian 'Hybrid Warfare'

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/nato-sends-two-ships-guard-baltic-sea-infrastructure-russian-hybrid-warfare

…On Friday Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen announced that the NATO military alliance is sending "two vessels and we are also increasing other activities and presence in the area."

At the start of this week the the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force had announced it would be ramping up its surveillance of undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.

"Finland has long been concerned about the risks to environmental and maritime safety posed by the shadow fleet used by Russia," Valtonen said Friday. "It is clear that the shadow fleet is also a threat to critical underwater infrastructure."

European authorities are still investigating the matter and questioning the crew. There have been reports that the anchor has been recovered from the bottom of the ocean floor.

The West has loudly condemned what it's calling Russia's 'hybrid warfare' targeting key infrastructure in European telecoms. However, officials also still speak in terms of 'assumptions'. Continue…

US Greets Nicolas Maduro's Swearing-In For Third Term With $25M Bounty

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-greets-nicolas-maduros-swearing-third-term-25m-bounty

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Friday has been sworn in for a third six-year term following an election that saw his opponent Edmundo Gonzalez as well as Washington claim voter fraud.

Gonzalez, meanwhile, has been recognized by the US as 'president-elect' instead of Maduro. On the same day Maduro was sworn in, the US unveiled a $25 million reward for information leading to his arrest. This represents a significant increase from a prior similar reward of $15 million for narco-trafficking related charges. Continue…

Turkey Outraged At Possible French Presence On Syrian Border

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/turkey-outraged-possible-french-presence-syrian-border

Turkey has strongly rejected a proposal to deploy French troops along the Syrian border to establish a secure zone aimed at easing tensions with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a group Ankara considers a terrorist organization.

"Some small European countries participating in military operations in Syria under the US umbrella are attempting to further their own interests by speaking out on certain issues, but this brings no real benefit to themselves or the region," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Friday during a live press conference in Istanbul.

"We do not engage with countries that try to hide behind America's power while advancing their own agendas." Continue…

Greenland 'Ready To Talk' With Trump As 'Status Quo No Longer An Option'

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/greenland-ready-talk-trump-status-quo-no-longer-option

Greenland Prime Minister, Múte Egede, said on Friday that he has not spoken with Donald Trump regarding the President-elect's recent interest in buying the Danish-controlled territory, but that he's 'ready to talk,' as the 'status quo is no longer an option.'

Speaking next to Danish PM Mette Frederiksen at a joint press conference, Egede emphasized the need for investment in resource development as well as diversified industries in order to reduce dependence on Danish subsidies. That said, Egede also said that "Greenland is for the Greenlanders. We don’t want to be Danes. We don’t want to be Americans. We obviously want to be Greenlanders."

Israel, US, UK Launch New Airstrikes On Yemen Amid Efforts To 'Hunt' Houthi Leaders

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/israel-us-uk-launch-new-airstrikes-yemen-amid-efforts-hunt-houthi-leaders

On Friday Israel has launched new major strikes on Yemen, amid ongoing vows to 'hunt' down Houthi leaders and kill them.

A new Israeli military (IDF) statement said fighter jets struck "on the western coast and inland Yemen" in response to the day prior Houthis having launched three drones at Israel. It also follows a Pentagon-ordered air raid on Yemen earlier this week. The fresh strikes further targeted the port city of Hodeida, Ras Isa Port, Sanaa, as well as North Western Amran province - and reportedly had participation from the US and UK.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that the latest air assault means Houthis will continue to pay a price for attacking Israel. Continue…

Canada plans to fight back against Trump tariffs – Bloomberg

https://www.rt.com/news/610702-canada-us-tariff-fight/

The US President-elect has threatened to put a 25% tax on all imported Canadian goods

Canada is reportedly considering extensive tariffs on American products in response to US President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to impose hefty levies on all Canadian products entering the country, Bloomberg reported on Friday citing anonymous sources.

Trump has said he will impose sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China as soon as he takes office, in an effort to spur them to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. Specifically, he has vowed to introduce a 25% tax on all products entering the US from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China.

Canadian officials are now reportedly considering their potential response to Trump’s threats, according to Bloomberg’s sources. While no final decision has been made, the measures under discussion are said to include targeting all US exports to Canada, aiming to go “dollar for dollar” on tariffs.

Bloomberg also reported that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has been examining the option of using export taxes on strategic commodities such as oil, uranium, and potash. Continue…

ANALYSIS: Manitoba is regulating machetes, could national knife control be next?

https://tnc.news/2025/01/11/analysis-manitoba-is-regulating-machetes/

Chief Angela Levasseur of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in remote northern Manitoba has a big knife problem. Machetes — foot-long, bush knives popular with campers and farmers — have become the weapon of choice for young gang members terrorizing her 3,500-member reserve.

“Over the last two years we have seen a really high level of machete crimes committed by youth and on youth in our community,” she said from Nelson House, 850 km northwest of Winnipeg. “It’s just too easy for anyone to possess a machete.” That’s now changing.

Due in part to Levasseur’s lobbying, Manitoba recently passed Canada’s first machete law. The Long-Bladed Weapon Control Act regulates the sale of any knife longer than 30 cm. Since the beginning of the new year, sales are now restricted to people 18 years and older, purchasers must show photo ID and retailers must track sales.

Based on the demands of advocates such as Levasseur, this may only be the beginning of new knife control measures in Canada — all troublingly modeled on our long and fruitless attempt at controlling guns.

The province claims its new law will keep big knives out of the hands of young criminals. That seems unlikely. Once the act takes effect, it will still be legal for an 18-year-old to buy an arm-full of machetes and hand them out to fellow gang members. Tougher measures require changes to the federal Criminal Code.

Ottawa is now being pushed in that direction. Coincident with Manitoba’s new law and following a series of horrific knife attacks in Vancouver, B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma recently wrote to her federal counterpart asking that machetes be declared a “prohibited weapon,” which would amount to a permanent ban. Continue…

U.K. imposes electronic travel authorizations for Canadians seeking to visit

https://tnc.news/2025/01/11/uk-imposes-electronic-travel-authorizations-canadians/

Canadians will now have to acquire an electronic travel authorization if they plan to travel to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, even for short-term visits.

Canada is among the over 50 countries permitted to apply for the travel document with the U.K. government expected to list an additional 30 countries who may apply starting Mar. 5.

Travellers will be required to submit their passport details, dates of travel and modes of transportation for authorities to review ahead of time as part of a new digital pre-screening process.

The changes are effective as of Wednesday.

According to the U.K. government, Canadians who have a U.K. visa or are dual citizens will not be affected by the new regulations.

Applicant’s information will be reviewed through a global database before being approved. Continue…

British Columbia mandates masking in healthcare settings until spring

https://tnc.news/2025/01/11/bc-mandates-masking-in-healthcare-settings/

The British Columbia Health Ministry has introduced a mandatory masking policy in healthcare facilities, effective on Jan. 6.

This policy applies to hospitals, long-term care, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and ambulatory care settings during the respiratory season

Patients must wear medical masks and other personal protective equipment during direct care if medically tolerated. Patients are also required to wear masks in emergency departments and waiting rooms.

Visitors must also wear masks during indoor group activities in long-term care and assisted living facilities unless eating or drinking. Continue…

Calgary councillors propose pay freeze after recent hike, Gondek to present own motion

https://tnc.news/2025/01/11/calgary-councillors-propose-pay-freeze/

Some Calgary city councillors have proposed a motion to freeze the council’s pay increases at 2024 rates until 2030.

Sonya Sharp will be introducing the motion next Tuesday. She has support from three other councillors — Dan McLean, Andre Chabot, and Terry Wong.

Sharp said that the city council should not be accepting automatic pay increases when Calgarians are struggling with the cost of living.

“Leadership isn’t just about talking about fiscal responsibility – it’s about demonstrating it. This freeze shows we’re serious about aligning council’s actions with the realities Calgarians face every day,” said Sharp.

In fact, there will be a slight reduction in salary for councillors because Sharp is requesting that the pay be scaled back to 2024 rates.

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek joined the fray, saying she will ask the council to freeze salaries for 2025 on Tuesday. However, Gondek made no mention of the freeze stretching further. Continue…

2025 Endless Chaos Towards One World Government

https://www.truth11.com/2025-endless-chaos-towards-one-world-government/

Aren’t we all so happy as chaos is upon us – planned chaos for confusion and destruction, and for those who see through it, evoking a smile?

It is like a run for the end game that will never end and they will never reach.

Chaos is exacerbated by unidentified mysterious drones and lately even more mysterious UFO sightings. Are we being invaded by outer space monsters?

“They”, behind the chaos, of course, we know who they are. The black men in white shirts and blue ties. Who else? Sometimes they go by “Deep State” and other times as the Dark Cabal, or simply evil.

They are leading us with oppressive chaos to desiring a One World Government – freeing us from fear and constant angst, protecting us from the invisible but chaotic monsters, from outside and inside our earthly world. Continue…
