Genocide — The New Normal
This will be a Hobbesian world where nations that have the most advanced industrial weapons make the rules. Those who are poor and vulnerable will kneel in subjugation.
Joe Biden’s parting gift of $8 billion in weapons sales to the apartheid state of Israel acknowledges the gruesome reality of the genocide in Gaza.
This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.
This is a permanent, endless war designed not to destroy Hamas, or free Israeli hostages, but to eradicate, once and for all, Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
It is the final push to create a Greater Israel, which will include not only Gaza and the West Bank, but chunks of Lebanon and Syria. It is the culmination of the Zionist dream. And it will be paid for with rivers of blood — Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Security of Israel Avi Dichter was probably offering conservative estimates when he said:
“I think that we are going to stay in Gaza for a long time. I think most people understand that [Israel] will be years in some kind of West Bank situation where you go in and out and maybe you remain along Netzarim [corridor].”
Mass extermination takes time. It is also expensive.
Fortunately for Israel, its lobby in the U.S. has a stranglehold on Congress, our electoral process and the media narrative. Americans, although 61 percent support ending weapons shipments to Israel, will pay for it.
And those that express dissent will be frog-marched into Zionist black holes where their voices are silenced and their careers jeopardized or destroyed. Donald Trump and the Republicans have an open disdain for democracy, but so do the Democrats and Joe Biden.
The U.S. provided $17.9 billion in military aid to Israel from October 2023 to October 2024, a substantial increase from the already $3.8 billion in military aid the U.S. gives Israel annually. This is a record for a single year.
The State Department has informed Congress that it intends to approve another $8 billion in purchases of U.S.-made arms by Israel. This will provide Israel with more GPS guidance systems for bombs, more artillery shells, more missiles for fighter jets and helicopters, and more bombs, including 2,800 unguided MK-84 bombs, which Israel has a habit of dropping on densely packed tent encampments in Gaza.
The pressure wave from the 2,000-pound MK-84 pulverizes buildings and exterminates life within a 400-yard radius. The blast, which ruptures lungs, rips apart limbs and bursts sinus cavities up to hundreds of yards away, leaves behind a 50-foot-wide and 36-foot-deep crater. Israel appears to have used this bomb to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, in Beirut on Sept. 27, 2024.

The current US stock market is in the biggest bubble in history. The entire world economy is at risk. I can’t make a bull case here.
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill doom-and-gloom production, this is a brutally honest, understandable and detailed explanation as to why the US stock market and the 10 biggest companies’ stocks are insanely over-valued. The biggest companies: Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet(Google), Amazon, Meta (Fecesbook), Tesla, Broadcom, Berkshire-Hathaway (Warren Buffet), Wallmart
The Market Cap to GDP Ratio (also known as the Buffett Indicator) is a measure of the total value of all publicly-traded stocks in a country, divided by that country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
In 1929: it was 81%
In 2000 dot-com-bubble: 140%
In 2008: sub-prime mortgage crisis: 110%
2025: 200%+

Australia’s secret war in Yemen … just don’t call it a war
It is the quintessential case of being dragged into war, by stealth, without the consent of the people. Australia is at war with Yemen, or to be precise the Houthis, but you won’t hear much about it from the government or the media.
Since October, Australia has led the “Combined Task Force (CTF) 153” to combat the Iran-backed Houthis in the Red Sea. It is not going well. In fact, hostilities are escalating this week. The Houthis repelled an attack by the USS aircraft carrier Harry S Truman and fired another round of missiles into Israel.
With the US navy now mired in their biggest naval battle since the Second World War, overnight US President Elect, Donald Trump, upped the rhetoric:
“If those hostages [in Gaza] aren’t back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. And it will not be good for Hamas. And it will not be good frankly for anyone. All hell will break out.”
Yet the might of the US military, alongside naval allies from the UK, France, Australia and other nations, have been unable to defeat the impoverished rebel forces of the Houthis firing off drones to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and landing a few missiles in the heart of Israel 2,000k away.
The problem is that disinformation is rife. The Red Sea operation is mostly a secret. MWM put questions to Defence as to Australia’s involvement in the Red Sea task force but no response was forthcoming.
In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and Israel’s extreme retaliation in Gaza, the Houthis of Yemen declared war on Israel. Their demands are simple. They vowed to attack Israel and any ship connected to Israel until the IDF stopped its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.

The Suez Canal accounts for 10-15% of world trade. The war has therefore taken a toll on world shipping, and on the allies military resources as it has dragged on for a year.
Amid the failure of the allies to publicise their activities and the propaganda on both sides of the conflict, finding an accurate account of the war is difficult. This is the best we could find, from James Angell on Substack, who goes through a year of claims and incident reports to pull together a comprehensive account of the Red Sea mission.
“US Navy fighter pilots and sailors returning to the US after months of being deployed to shoot down Houthi missiles and drones over the Red Sea have spoken of the trauma of what is now the navy’s most intense sea fighting since World War II. US pilots tell of ‘traumatising’ deployment to stop Red Sea attacks by Houthis,” writes Angell.

Cannibalism horror in Australia's backyard as jungle fighters wield machetes and pose with a severed human foot: 'This is our meat'
PNG video of men with severed human foot
One man appears to be licking it
PNG officials denounce it as 'cannibalism'
WARNING: Graphic images
The Papua New Guinea government has condemned 'horrific acts of cannibalism' in the country, sparked by disturbing images of a group of warriors preparing to eat human body parts.
A video shot in the remote jungle highlands of Australia's neighbour show a tribal warrior 'licking' a severed human foot while another holds up an amputated hand.
The footage shows a group of men armed with bows, arrows and machetes while holding human body parts.
One of them smiled at the camera as he held the foot to his mouth and said: 'We are the mafia. We have cut him.'
According to the local media reports, one of the men said: 'This is our meat. We will cook it and eat it.'
In one photo a man holds up a bloodied body part while another licks his lips.
Images images from the grisly video were published on January 6 on the front page of PNG's Post Courier newspaper.

Preemptive Strikes On Iran Will Be A 'Real Possibility' Under Trump: Officials
Starting in December the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, IAEA, warned that Iran is "dramatically" accelerating enrichment close to the roughly 90% level which is weapons-grade.
On Tuesday President Emmanuel Macron called Iran the main "strategic and security challenge" for France and Europe. "The acceleration of the nuclear program leads us nearly to the point of no return," he told an annual conference of French ambassadors.
However, it remains anything but clear whether the Islamic Republic has actually decided to build a nuclear weapon, something recently (and surprisingly) acknowledged by the CIA.

EU commission threatens Musk ahead of interview with conservative leader
The European Commission warns it will take action If Elon Musk's conversation with Alice Weidel gains above-average visibility on X
The European Commission will check whether the X platform promotes an interview between its owner, American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, and the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Alice Weidel, the body’s spokesman Thomas Regnier said on Monday, reports the Do Rzeczy news portal.
Regnier said that under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which among other things governs content moderation rules on internet platforms, platforms must respond to “potential threats to EU electoral processes,” including providing above-average visibility to content promoting political forces, including content posted on X by Musk himself, the EU official said.
The interview is taking place ahead of Germany’s snap parliamentary elections, enraging the political establishment.
“The foundation of the DSA is freedom of speech. Mr. Musk has the right to express his private views and political opinions about the EU both online and offline,” Regnier said, adding that nothing prevents Musk from conducting an interview with Weidel, which will be streamed on his platform.
However, if the conversation with Weidel gains above-average visibility on X, as part of the procedure against this platform conducted in December 2023, the European Commission will look into whether the service provided users with the option to, for example, turn off streaming and whether it used algorithms to give it greater visibility.
It is unclear what threshold the EU commission would set for “greater visibility,” as Musk’s posts tend to garner millions of views and sometimes tens of millions of views regardless of what he posts. He does have, after all, over 200 million and followers. In addition, both he, Weidel, and many others have been promoting the interview in the last weeks.
Last month, Musk openly expressed his opinion that “only the AfD can save Germany.”

'America First' meets Greenland, Taiwan, and the Panama Canal
With an eye on China’s expanding footprint, Trump aims to recalibrate US strategy across three crucial global choke points
As the incoming Trump administration prepares to take office on January 20, 2025, a recalibration of U.S. foreign policy priorities and broader national strategy goals is already underway. Advocates of realism and restraint welcome Trump’s emphasis on a foreign policy that prioritizes pragmatism and “peace through strength” over ideological moralism, even while liberal internationalists fear the effects of “America First” policy on multilateral alliances.
Both sides recognize, however, a need for a prudent shift from crippling foreign policy misadventures and ideational stagnation to a bold U.S. foreign policy vision in all theaters of potential competition.
Among the constellation of apparent global security hotspots, three seemingly disparate locations — Taiwan, Greenland, and the Panama Canal — have emerged as serious contenders in the geopolitical realignment of interstate competition over resources, trade and shipping routes, and political-military dominance, becoming the recent focus of President-elect Trump’s typically boisterous social media posts over the holidays.
All three, whilst geographically distant, do share a common denominator — China — a so-called “pacing challenge” deemed most intent on dislodging America’s hegemony, supplanting its economic clout, and challenging its military primacy in an increasingly multipolar world. All represent tests for the kind of foreign policy Trump says he wants to pursue, while denying Chinese encroachments in key strategic areas.
