Five severed human heads were discovered hanging from ropes on a beach in Ecuador, according to police.

According to multiple reports, local authorities said the gruesome scene appeared to be linked to ongoing drug-related violence gripping the country.

Ecuadorian media outlets showed the heads suspended from wooden poles placed directly on the beach, CBS News reported.

A wooden sign that was positioned next to the remains contained a written message.

According to The Associated Press, the message was directed at individuals accused of extorting local fishermen.

Officers attributed the incident to a conflict between rival criminal groups operating in the region. Continue…

Minneapolis Police ‘Victim Blame’ Nick Sortor After He is Robbed: Tell Him HE is the Problem and Needs to Leave the Area

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/minneapolis-police-victim-blame-nick-sortor-after-he/

The Gateway Pundit reported that independent journalist Nick Sortor was robbed of a $1,000 camera by an apparent Somali woman while filming in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Sunday. Police in Minneapolis responded by telling Sorter HE is the problem and needed to leave.

Sortor shared a video from the incident showing a masked woman ripping the camera out of his hand while he is behind the wheel of his vehicle.

A man then approached him, screaming, “That’s what the fck you wanted, right? That’s what the fck you wanted, right?”

Sorter jumped out of the car and chased the robber to a waiting vehicle, and they sped off with him holding onto the door handle. He shared that he was then dragged down the street after his hand got stuck in the car’s door handle. Continue…

Exclusive: U.S. Ally Kurds Desperate Plea for Support, Under Attack from Damascus Army

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/exclusive-u-s-ally-kurds-desperate-plea-support/

“Please tell Americans that the situation is extremely serious. Kobani is symbolic, not just militarily but morally. If it falls, it will be seen as revenge against a city that defeated ISIS. We need attention, pressure, and action.”

Those were the words of Barzan ISO during an interview as fighting escalated across northeastern Syria. Barzan, who coordinates with international humanitarian organizations and works alongside the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, warned that Kurdish-held areas are facing simultaneous attacks from Syrian government forces, extremist groups, and Turkish bombings, as government forces and Al-Qaeda-linked fighters attack SDF-guarded prisons in an effort to free ISIS militants.

While interviewing Barzan, I received a desperate message from inside Qamishli, the largest city in Rojava, the Kurdish-led region officially known as the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES):

“The situation here is very bad. Maybe within the next two days, the Jolani forces,” she said, referring to the Damascus army under the country’s current leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly known as al-Jolani when he was an Al-Qaeda commander, “will take control of Qamishli as well.”

“No one is asking or helping us from outside to protect us from ISIS. We are alone now. Unfortunately, the negotiations between the SDF and Jolani have failed, so now they will fight each other.”

Barzan reinforced that warning in a statement posted across social media, accusing the United States and the international coalition of abandoning the Syrian Kurds at a critical moment. Continue…

Haitian ‘Cartel’ Presidents Snub Mar-a-Lago Crisis Talks – New Details of ‘Fils-Aimé/Cassy’ Pact Emerge

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/haitian-cartel-presidents-snub-mar-lago-crisis-talks/

In a stunning display of cowardice and calculated sabotage, two Presidents of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) failed to appear at a critical high-stakes summit at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, leaving an “empty chair” at the table with senior U.S. power brokers.

The diplomatic no-show is being hailed by insiders not as a logistical failure, but as the final proof that Haiti’s government has been fully captured by a “Cartel Bureaucracy” intent on running out the clock and seizing indefinite power. Continue…

Native Greenlanders Reveal Horrors Under Danish Rule Including Years of Forced Sterilization and Removal of Children

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/native-greenlanders-reveal-horrors-under-danish-rule-including/

…As Greenland comes under the international spotlight, native Greenlanders are speaking out about the realities of living under Danish rule, saying their future has been ‘stolen.’

In an exclusive report, The New York Post spoke with native Greenlanders about some of the disturbing abuse under Danish rule, including hundreds of Greenlandic women and girls who were forcibly given contraception between 1960 and 1991. Between 1966 and 1970, over 4,500 women and girls, some as young as twelve, had an intra-uterine device (IUD) implanted.

The forced contraception was part of centuries of Danish policies that dehumanized Greenlanders and their families and included policies that removed young Inuit children from their parents.

The 1951 “Little Danes” experiment removed Inuit children from the country and sent them to live with Danish foster families for reeducation and controversial parental competency tests, which “resulted in the forced separation of Greenlandic families.”

Denmark Will NOT Attend World Economic Forum in Davos, as ‘Hurricane Trump’ Expected To Dominate Event With Largest US Delegation Ever

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/denmark-will-not-attend-world-economic-forum-davos/

Davos meets MAGA – and nothing will ever be the same.

When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned Europe last year of the arrival of ‘Hurricane Trump’, he wasn’t joking around!

One year later, the Donald J. Trump administration is firing on all cylinders, and the impact of their work has fundamentally changed the world.

Now, the Globalists at the World Economic Forum in Davos will get a taste of MAGA as Trump dominates the event, leading the largest US delegation ever to the event: five cabinet secretaries and other senior officials.

The first consequence is that representatives for the WEF, which kicks off today in Switzerland, have confirmed that Danish officials will not be attending the event, as the tensions over the US acquiring Greenland are intensifying. Continue…

"The US Is Basically Not A Good Credit": Danish Pension Fund To Sell US Treasuries

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-basically-not-good-credit-danish-pension-fund-sell-us-treasuries

Over the weekend, Deutsche Bank's head of FX George Saravelos laid out one theoretical reason why in his view, Europe has leverage over the US in the latest burst of transatlatnic tensions over Greenland: or rather $8 trillion reasons why the US has leverage.

As Saravelos wrote, "European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined" and added that in an environment where the geoeconomic stability of the western alliance is being disrupted existentially, "it is not clear why Europeans would be as willing to play this part. Danish pension funds were one of the first to repatriate money and reduce their dollar exposure this time last year. With USD exposure still very elevated across Europe, developments over the last few days have potential to further encourage dollar rebalancing."

Sure enough, just hours later, Europe appears to have taken the Deutsche Bank strategist's advice and contrary to Scott Bessent's appeals this morning that European governments aggressively selling American debt to counter Washington's threats over Greenland, would "defy logic", Bloomberg has reported that the Danish pension fund AkademikerPension is planning to exit US Treasuries by the end of the month, amid concerns that the policies of President Donald Trump have created credit risks too big to ignore.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced on Jan. 19 that more than 10,000 criminal illegal immigrants had been arrested by federal law enforcement officers during ongoing immigration-related operations in Minneapolis.

Carney's Beijing Gambit Triggers Trump Warning In The Form Of A Big Beautiful Map

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/carneys-beijing-gambit-triggers-trump-warning-form-big-beautiful-map

After over the weekend warning that he would impose a 10% tariff on imports from several European countries in response to their opposition to his Greenland takeover plan, later threatening the tariff could be raised to 25% within weeks if those governments fail to fall in line - President Trump has once again escalated, this time with an overnight Truth Social post of a map showing not just Greenland as part of the US but Canada too.

The image features President Trump addressing European leaders in the Oval Office. In the background is a map with Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba shown them as part of the United States, draped over by American flag colors. Continue…

Germany's Censorship Frontier And The Rise Of Digital Control

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/germanys-censorship-frontier-and-rise-digital-control

Schleswig‑Holstein’s Minister‑President Daniel Günther has, in what felt like a genteel salon, pulled back the curtain on the true censorship ambitions of politics. In the safe biotope of public broadcasting, he simply babbled and hit the spotlight on the repressive tendencies within the party system. We now find ourselves in a critical defensive struggle against the enemies of liberty.

Some achieve notoriety and fame by chance. Fortune may fall into one person’s lap, another may experience his ten minutes of public shine through a fluke rhetorical spark. In the case of the Minister‑President of Schleswig‑Holstein in Germany, however, this is a dubious honor.

In his appearance on Markus Lanz’s show on Germany’s state TV "ZDF", CDU politician Daniel Günther slid into that revealing tone of small talk to which people are prone precisely when they believe themselves in a supposedly safe social environment – a place where no criticism is expected, no matter what leaves their lips.

What emerged during his guest spot on Lanz was a condemnable attitude toward the principle of free speech and toward critical media: the threat of censorship up to and including the blocking of individual platforms, including the portal Nius, reveals a profound ethical collapse. A growing, subtly operating apparatus of repression is now reaching us – a warning we should take seriously. Continue…

China's 200,000-Satellite Filing Sparks Fears Of An Orbital Power Grab

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-200000-satellite-filing-sparks-fears-orbital-power-grab

China has filed requests to reserve orbital slots for almost 200,000 satellites, prompting concerns it may be positioning itself to control large swathes of near-Earth space, according to the Daily Mail.

The applications, submitted on December 29 by the newly formed Institute of Radio Spectrum Utilisation and Technological Innovation, outline two constellations—CTC-1 and CTC-2—each with 96,714 satellites spread across thousands of orbits. If built, the system would dwarf SpaceX’s Starlink plans and could restrict access for rival operators.

Officials have offered little detail about the satellites’ role, fuelling speculation about military or security uses. According to China in Space, Nanjing University of Aeronautics says the network would support “Low-altitude electromagnetic space security, integrated security defence systems, electromagnetic space security assessment of airspace, and low-altitude airspace safety supervision services.” Analysts say this closely resembles SpaceX’s military-focused Starshield system.

The Daily Mail writes that the filings were made with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which allocates orbital spectrum. Once registered, other companies must prove their satellites will not interfere. While the spacecraft could have civilian uses, the move comes amid intensifying US-China competition in space.

China Flies Military Drone Into Taiwan Airspace For First Time

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china

In the latest geopolitical escalation - because let's face it, all that's left now for the global geopolitical chaos to be complete is for Beijing to finally launch its much anticipated invasion of Taiwan - China sent a military drone into Taiwanese airspace for the first time, underscoring Beijing’s efforts to test the island's defenses.

The Chinese reconnaissance drone flew in the airspace of Pratas Island for about four minutes early Saturday, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. The islet is near the southern end of the strait, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) from Taiwan’s main island.

The unmanned aerial vehicle was a WZ-7 known as ‘Soaring Dragon’ according to a Taiwanese national security official. It flew at an “altitude outside the range of our air defence weapons and left following warnings Taipei broadcast via international radio channels”, Taiwan’s defence ministry said in a statement.
