Ukraine ‘going all in on terrorism’ – FSB head

Kiev plans to increase attacks on Russian infrastructure and the population, Aleksandr Bortnikov has warned

“The Kiev regime is going all in on terrorism, ramping up its sabotage and terrorist acts,” Bortnikov said.

It will be “primarily targeting the facilities of the fuel and energy sector, transport, defense industry, and places of mass gatherings of people,” he added.

Ukraine will attempt to carry out strikes deep into Russian territory using drones and Western-supplied arms, with the aim of “inflicting maximum economic damage and intimidating the population,” the top security official said.

French Far-Left Leader Mélenchon Openly Calls For Great Replacement In Shock Speech

“We are destined to be a Creole nation and so much the better”

In two speeches given less than 24 hours apart in the French city of Toulouse, Jean-Luc Mélenchon delivered some of the most shocking yet brutally honest words from a European politician, openly calling for the older French to be replaced by a “Creole” generation of mixed races and cultures.

The leader of France’s far-left LFI is calling outright for replacement of White French people, conjuring up the Great Replacement term that has been demonized as a conspiracy theory by the left for years.

“In our country, one person in four has a foreign grandparent. 40% of the population speaks at least two languages. We are destined to be a Creole nation and so much the better! May the young generation be the great replacement for the old generation,” said Mélenchon.

According to the dictionary, Creole is defined as a “a person of mixed European and black descent, especially in the Caribbean.”

He also goes on to make a number of further statements, saying the new immigrants need “to heal France from the wounds of racism.” According to Euronews, France is among the five European countries with the least discrimination. Furthermore, he makes inflammatory statements, calling for “torch-bearers” to bring about change, which has revolutionary undertones, although he stops short of any calls for direct violence.

South African party files treason charges against white group

uMkhonto weSizwe claims that AfriForum has lobbied a “foreign government” to sabotage Pretoria’s economy

Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s party, uMkhonto weSizwe (MK), has filed a complaint against white Afrikaner minority group AfriForum, accusing it of treason after US President Donald Trump cut aid to the country over a controversial new law.

The opposition MK Party announced the move on Monday, claiming AfriForum has “deliberately lobbied foreign powers” to undermine South Africa’s sovereignty and economic interests.

“Their betrayal is nothing less than an act of economic sabotage, a direct assault on our nation’s independence and a dangerous attempt to undermine the will of the people,” the party said in a statement.

Last week, Trump ordered a halt to any financial assistance to South Africa, citing an expropriation law Pretoria has passed to address racial disparities in land ownership and its genocide case against US ally Israel. The US president accused Pretoria of “shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights” and alleged that newly adopted legislation allows the government to confiscate agricultural property from Afrikaners without compensation.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has rejected the claims, insisting that his government “has not confiscated any land.”

Afrikaners are descendants of European colonists, mostly from the Netherlands, who arrived in what would become modern South Africa in the 17th century. Africa’s most advanced economy extended voting rights to all adults in 1994 and ended decades of apartheid, but white farmers still own the majority of land in the country. Pretoria has set a target of transferring 30% of farmland to black farmers by 2030.

AfriForum has lobbied against the legislation in the US and through media campaigns, claiming it violates property rights. On February 3, the non-profit group warned that it will ask Washington to impose sanctions on Ramaphosa and members of his party, the African National Congress (ANC), instead of punishing “South Africa’s residents.”

Musk reacts to Zelensky’s ‘Ukrainians don’t want elections’ claim

The Ukrainian leader’s presidential term expired last May, with no new vote in sight

In an interview with ITV on Friday, Zelensky explained Kiev’s reluctance to hold the new vote by arguing that “during this war, our population is against elections, all people are against it.” He claimed that holding elections under such circumstances would undermine Ukraine’s defense posture, adding, “If we suspend martial law, we will lose the army.”

Musk, a close ally of US President Donald Trump and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), offered an ironic response, posting “Sure” on social media.

In November, the billionaire mocked Zelensky’s claim that the “US cannot force us to ‘sit and listen’ at the negotiating table. We are an independent country.” “His sense of humor is amazing,” the tech entrepreneur wrote at the time.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration appears to be pressuring Kiev to organize a new presidential election. Keith Kellogg, Trump’s top envoy for Ukraine, told Reuters earlier this month that Washington wants Kiev to hold the vote, potentially by the end of the year, especially if a ceasefire with Russia can be agreed upon in the coming months. “Most democratic nations have elections in their time of war. I think it is important they do so. I think it is good for democracy,” he said.

Israel Backs Trump's Unleash Hell Plan For Gaza If Hostages Aren't Freed By Saturday

"All cabinet members expressed support for US President Donald Trump’s demand for the release of our hostages by noon on Shabbat, and for his revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza," the Netanyahu cabinet statement said.

Judge Blocks Federal Government From Cutting Medical Research Funding

U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley entered a temporary restraining order on Feb. 10 preventing the federal government from cutting medical research funding in 22 states in response to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts.

The order is in place until further word from the court, Kelley said.

Government lawyers were also ordered to, within 24 hours, and at biweekly intervals thereafter, confirm with the judge that they are regularly disbursing medical research funding in the states, which include Arizona, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon.

California, New York, and Massachusetts receive the most funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The legal challenge targets the U.S. National Institutes of Health directive that imposes a lower cap on indirect research costs for institutions receiving government funding after a quarter of $35 billion in NIH research funds went to indirect costs in 2024.

The new cap was set in the Feb. 7 directive at 15 percent, which is largely in line with private funding limits, and down from what the NIH said was an average of 27 percent to 28 percent.

“The United States should have the best medical research in the world. It is accordingly vital to ensure that as many funds as possible go towards direct scientific research costs rather than administrative overhead,” according to an NIH memorandum from the agency’s Office of the Director.

'Not Possible': Jordan Would Seal Borders, Declare War On Israel If Gazans Forced Out

Egypt has announced an emergency Arab summit to be held on February 27 in response to US President Donald Trump's recent call to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Trump said he plans to take over the Gaza Strip, transfer its Palestinian population to other countries, and rebuild the territory into the "Riviera of the Middle East".

The US leader further questioned why Palestinians would ever want to return there when asked whether they would be allowed to return. Speaking at a White House press conference last Tuesday, with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looking on, Trump said that Egypt and Jordan would "give us the kind of land that we need to get this done".

On Sunday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that it has communicated with several Arab countries in light of the "escalating developments in the Palestinian issue".

"Over the past few days, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty made a series of phone calls with several Arab counterparts to mass regional efforts in a bid to thwart the US proposal of displacing the Palestinian people," the ministry said.

Trump's announcement last week sparked confused and angry reactions across the globe, with Hamas rejecting his surprise plans on Gaza, saying it was aimed at eliminating the Palestinian cause.

Egypt and Jordan have rejected the plan outright, with their leaders, foreign ministers, and several senior officials expressing their opposition. Arab diplomats stressed to Haaretz the gravity of the US president's remarks on Cairo and Amman, noting that they are taking them "very seriously".

Middle East Eye learned in early February that Jordan is ready to declare war on Israel in the event that Netanyahu attempts to forcibly expel Palestinians into its territory.

Well-placed sources in Amman and Jerusalem told MEE that the last thing Jordan wants is war and it is eager for a peaceful solution. But they are adamant that the Jordanians will close the border if refugees begin to cross into the country.

One source told MEE that Trump's proposal was an "existential issue" both for Jordan and the Hashemite dynasty, pointing out that the country is the third-poorest in terms of water in the world.

Meanwhile, MEE has also revealed that Trump's explosive comments earlier this month had sent shockwaves across Egyptian diplomatic and intelligence circles, Two diplomatic sources - one Egyptian and one Arab - revealed that Arab countries, led by Egypt, are scrambling to offer alternatives to Trump’s displacement plan.

Among the proposals discussed is a major reconstruction initiative involving US companies in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Gaza - without displacing its residents. This plan would be funded through lucrative Arab contracts to entice Trump and divert his attention from forced relocation.

Israeli Officials: Hamas’s Claims About Israel’s Ceasefire Violations Are Accurate

Gaza's Health Ministry said that Israeli forces have killed 92 Palestinians since the ceasefire went into effect

Israeli officials have admitted to The New York Times that Hamas’s claims about Israel violating the Gaza ceasefire are accurate.

The report, which cited three Israeli officials and two officials from mediating countries who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Israel agreed to let in hundreds of thousands of tents as part of the ceasefire deal, which hasn’t happened.

A few days before Hamas announced it was postponing the next hostage release scheduled for February 15, an official from Gaza’s Media Office said only 10% of the required tents had arrived. Israel has also not allowed mobile homes and heavy equipment to clear the rubble into Gaza.

Besides the blocking of promised aid, Israeli forces have also continued to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

In response to Hamas announcing it will postpone the next hostage release, Trump said if all the Israelis held in Gaza aren’t released by this Saturday, the ceasefire should be “canceled,” signaling he’s ready to back Israel if it restarts the genocidal war. Haaretz reported on Sunday that Netanyahu intends to sabotage the truce and not enter the second phase.

Israel Expands ‘Open Fire Order’ in West Bank, Resulting in Surge of Civilian Killings

The Israeli military is also using Palestinian civilians in the West Bank as human shields by making them check buildings for explosives

The Israeli military command overseeing operations in the occupied West Bank has expanded its “open fire orders,” leading to a surge in the killing of Palestinian civilians by IDF troops, Haaretz reported on Monday.

One of the orders allows Israeli troops to fire on unarmed Palestinians if they are “messing with the ground.” The claim is that this order is necessary to prevent explosives from being planted, but sources told Haaretz it has made soldiers “trigger happy.”

The other order allows Israeli troops to open fire on any vehicles approaching Israeli military checkpoints that are leaving combat zones to force them to stop. Since the combat zones are residential areas, this means the IDF can open fire on civilians trying to flee.

These orders led to the killing of a husband and his wife, Sundus Shalabi, who was eight months pregnant. Initial reports said Shalabi’s husband was “critically injured” by the Israeli military attack, but Haaretz said he was shot dead.

Sources told Haaretz that the husband was shot and killed while driving near Tulkarm, and Shalabi was shot dead after managing to get out of the car. According to an IDF investigation, Shalabi was shot because she “looked suspiciously at the ground.” No weapons or explosives were found in the car, which was carrying their two children. Palestinian officials said paramedics couldn’t attempt to save Shalabi’s unborn baby because IDF troops blocked the ambulance.

Russian Intelligence Warns Kiev Plans False Flag Attack In Baltic Sea

The war in Ukraine was marked by numerous false flag attacks and various provocations launched by the Kiev regime. Amid the signs of the ongoing negotiations between Moscow and Washington, the terrorist Kiev regime is expected to attempt new large provocations to prolong the conflict or gain some benefits and weaken Russian positions.

On February 11th, the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation released a statement warning that the special services of Ukraine, with the support of their Western patrons, plan a number of high-profile provocations against Russia. According to available information, they plan to blow up a foreign vessel using Russian mines in the waters of the Baltic Sea. After the attack they will attempt to blame Russia.

The false flag attack is aimed to become a reasonable pretext and push NATO to close the waters of the Baltic Sea to Russian vessels in order to ‘protect civilian shipping’. In this case, an escalation would be inevitable and could ultimately push the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliance into direct confrontation.

In addition, the Kiev regime and Western special services are preparing a wave of attacks on members of the so-called Russian opposition and businessmen who have fled Russia abroad. Terrorists from the Middle East and Asian countries will be involved in the commission of crimes. They are promised to pay 20 thousand dollars for completing each task.

The warning from Moscow seems very reasonable. Such provocations well correspond to the interests of Western warmongers, who continue their campaign of pressure on the maritime communications of the Russian Federation. In particular, the Baltic states are looking for a pretext for a blockade of the Baltic Sea but without a direct war with Russia. Attacks on the so-called leaders of public opinion is easily explained by the need to attract more attention to them, especially after they lost US money and have no influence on their own.

20% of people in British Columbia, Canada are currently sick and waiting to see a specialist

In British Columbia, Canada, a significant healthcare issue is unfolding. Recent reports indicate that 20% of people in the province are currently sick and waiting to see a specialist. This alarming statistic highlights the strain on the healthcare system and the challenges many residents face in accessing timely medical care.

The situation has been exacerbated by changes to the physician payment model, which have led to longer wait times at walk-in clinics. According to data from Medimap, British Columbians had to wait an average of 93 minutes to see a doctor at a walk-in clinic in 2023, up from 79 minutes in 2022. This is significantly higher than the national average of 68 minutes.

The province’s Health Minister has acknowledged the issue, noting that while efforts have been made to add more family doctors, the changes to the payment model have resulted in some doctors leaving walk-in clinics to pursue family practice. This has created a shortage of supply and longer wait times for patients.

The impact of these delays is felt across the province, with cities like North Vancouver experiencing the longest average wait times at 187 minutes. The healthcare system is under immense pressure, and residents are left waiting for essential medical care.

Israeli Police arrest 28 pedophiles

Suspects accused of sexual offenses against minors on WhatsApp and Instagram; 200 officers take part in raids, confiscating computers, mobile phones; 'I cannot stop thinking about you in every possible way,' one writes to cop posing as 13-year-old girl

The arrests followed a two-month undercover investigation into alleged sexual offenses against minors on social media platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp. Police said suspects initiated contact with what they believed were 13-year-old girls, engaging in explicit conversations, sending sexually explicit content and attempting to arrange in-person meetings.

"I fell in love with a clever 13-year-old with a pure soul. I cannot stop thinking about you in every possible way," one suspect allegedly wrote. Another messaged, "You have to stay in touch with me. You are important to me, and I miss you."

On Tuesday, officers raided the homes of the suspects, seizing computers, mobile phones and other evidence linking them to the alleged offenses. The men were taken for questioning and may appear before court to be remanded, police said.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis Resigns Amid Impeachment Proceedings

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis announced his resignation on Monday following the launch of impeachment proceedings against him. The move comes after last year’s presidential election was annulled due to allegations of Russian interference.

The Constitutional Court invalidated the December election after far-right candidate Călin Georgescu, a relatively unknown figure, won outright in the first round amid claims of foreign meddling.

Iohannis, a pro-European leader, had previously stated that he would remain in office until a new election in May. However, mounting pressure led lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings on Monday, following two previous opposition-led attempts.

“In order to spare Romania and its citizens a crisis, I am resigning from the presidency,” Iohannis declared, confirming that he will officially step down on Wednesday.

He warned that Romania is on the brink of a political crisis, stating, “In a few days, parliament will vote on my impeachment, which will push Romania into turmoil with both domestic and international consequences.” He maintained that he had “never violated the constitution.”

Bill Gates and George Soros ripped off American taxpayers, milking $Billions from USAID to carry out their exploitative political agendas worldwide

In a stunning move that has shocked the establishment, the Trump administration has ordered the shutdown of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), halting its operations and placing nearly all staff on leave. This is no mere bureaucratic reshuffle—it is a direct strike against a globalist enterprise that has siphoned billions of taxpayer dollars into the coffers of Bill Gates, George Soros, and the dystopian schemes of the World Economic Forum (WEF). For decades, USAID has been a pipeline for funneling American tax dollars into these individuals’ political agendas, bypassing democratic oversight and enriching their sprawling empires. As the agency teeters on permanent closure, a spotlight is shining on the staggering scale of this financial labyrinth and the urgent need to hold those responsible accountable.

Main Points:

USAID has distributed billions of taxpayer dollars to Bill Gates’ vaccine initiatives, George Soros’ regime-change projects, and the WEF’s globalist agenda.

The agency’s shutdown is a reckoning for a system that has prioritized globalist goals over American interests.

American taxpayers have been left footing the bill for these elite schemes, with little to no transparency or accountability.

Bill Gates and George Soros should have their ill-gotten gains confiscated and returned to the people.
