Time Text
The Truth vs.
News International, and we're essentially here on January the 12th, 2025, trying to recover and recap a week of hell, a hot week it has been, and so we ended on a great story there, and I think we have some comments coming up about what you just saw in the last hour there.
I hope you get to watch the first hour, everybody.
It's a show that needs to be seen by the whole world.
Go ahead.
Joaquin, welcome to your thoughts about Smart LA and LA Olympic 2028. The timing is just remarkable.
Yeah, they seem to work the timing out every single time for their agenda.
Yeah, this whole story of LA, it really hits me.
Very personal for me.
One, I was born in California.
And two, I lived my life in L.A. longer than any other place I've lived on this earth.
For 37 years, I lived there.
And then the worst fires, the multiple fires there, are in Pacific Palisades.
And I live, what, 15, 20 minutes away.
A few miles away in West LA, just south of there.
And then in Altadena, I lived for 12 years.
And that got really hit hard.
Those are the two worst damaging spots where people died and property damage is the worst.
So, yeah, it really hits home.
And it makes me all the more determined and fervent to make sure that the truth gets out there to the people, because their agenda is much larger than just going after city or, you know, even states.
They're going after the world for depopulation.
And we are at the precipice of...
Total self-destruction as a human species, never mind as a nation.
I don't even foresee America certainly ending up a country in the next couple of years.
If they get their way, it will be one world government.
We know that that's what they've been after.
They've been talking about it for a century, you know, one world government.
And, you know, they're on their way.
So we have to rise up as a human species for self-preservation purposes.
It's reached that point, folks, where we have to rise up for self-preservation.
My first conscious memory was in Altadena.
I was outside because my parents were arguing.
They'd eventually divorce.
I was outside.
They were in the house arguing.
And a miracle happened.
A fire engine came down the street.
It was so beautiful and so distracting.
My first conscious memory was in Alta Dina.
Brian, your thoughts.
I don't think we're going to be able to stop the tide of the New World Order, the rise of the Antichrist, and the mystery of Babylon.
I think we're headed for a day of judgment in this world and in this nation.
There's very few people left that are kicking against the goads in terms of the moral decline.
of our culture.
Our churches seem to be slipping farther and farther into the fundraising hole and righteousness seems to be at an all-time low.
I personally have chosen to try to fight this battle by cleaning up my own personal life first and then finding the resources to seek the help of what I consider to be the most powerful force on earth, which is The very creator of the universe, and I think this is the only way to get through it.
I think of Jeremiah the prophet and many of the other prophets who knew that Babylon was going to come in and destroy Jerusalem, and their usage was better in terms of warning the people about what's coming.
When they continue to disobey.
So I'm taking a more spiritual aspect to it, and I don't think that we're going to be able to stop the rise of this new Antichrist.
I think it's too powerful.
Wow.
No doubt we'll return to somewhat similar themes.
Meanwhile, turn the foreign affairs up in flames.
Ukraine strikes a key fuel depot critical to Moscow victory plan.
Moscow will prevail regardless.
Ukrainian drones attack fuel depots in the city of Ingles and Zerotov region in western Russia.
Explosion, huge fire, local authorities introduced a state of emergency.
The attack on the oil depot, which supplies fuel to the Ingles 2 military airport, carried out Tuesday night.
Numerous explosions reported.
Large-scale file broke out.
Damage to the oil base creates serious logistic problems for the strategic abbreviation of the Russian occupiers, significantly reduced its ability to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities and civilian facilities, which it isn't doing in the first place.
So you can tell the propaganda here abounding.
Russia's Rosa Reserve fuel depot and Engels reportedly suffered another massive fuel tank explosion overnight.
The Russian strategic fuel de-storage facility hit by Ukrainian attack drones early yesterday morning continues to burn completely out of control as more tanks ignite.
Due to the huge fire caused by the shelling, local authorities announced a state of emergency.
Unfortunately, while putting out the fire to employees of the fire department, Died.
One specialist taken to the hospital throughout the day in the area of the fire.
Specialists from the Raponda-Nadsar department have been taking air samples.
No excess pollutants were recorded.
That's rather interesting.
24 hours after being targeted by Ukrainian drones, fuel depots near Russia's Singles Airport are only expanding.
Now consuming several storage tanks, the whole region now declared a national disaster.
Meanwhile, Zelensky says, Send Western troops to force Russia to peace in last ditch appeal before Trump inauguration.
How dumb is that?
During a meeting of Ukraine defense allies at Ramstead Air Base in Germany, Ukrainian President Zelensky tried once again to get his backers to escalate their entry into the war with Russia.
We can expect such desperate-haired-brained appeal to be floated each day until Trump takes office on the 20th.
Zelensky wants as much commitment to the war from the West as possible ahead of the Trump admin, which has repeatedly vowed to negotiate a swift end to the three-year conflict.
His latest pitch.
Calling for Western troops in large numbers to the Ukrainian soil.
Calling one of the best instruments to force Russia to peace.
Our goal is to find as many instruments as possible to force Russia into peace.
I believe that deployment of partners contingent is one of the best instruments.
He acknowledged that Europe is entering a new chapter of cooperation and would have new opportunities.
Given Trump's return to the White House, this was perhaps a sugarcoating for what many European officials regard as a cause for deep anxiety and uncertainty.
For this reason, Europe has spent many months trying to Trump-proof aid to Ukraine.
It's clear a new chapter starts through Europe and the entire world.
Just 11 days from now, a time when we have to cooperate even more, rely on one another even more.
Achieve even greater results together.
Yes, look at the spectacular results we've achieved together already.
A million dead!
While Zelensky didn't get any immediate affirmations of Western Trump being sent, Lloyd Austin, U.S. Secretary of Defense, used the occasion to announce the very last aid package from the Biden admin.
Austin Thursday announced, 500 million of additional weapons before Biden leaves office.
This is unlikely to do much when, by all accounts, the most pressing problem remains manpower woes and a consistently advancing Russian army.
Let's get in and try to find a positive concerning a war during the meeting.
Calling the Kursk offensive into Russia one of the biggest wins not just last year but throughout the war.
Which is just silly.
Russia confirmed last week a new Ukrainian counterattack was underway.
In the last days, the Kremlin has claimed to have significantly dented it while destroying main tank's assets and personnel, which undoubtedly they have done.
Your thoughts, Joaquin?
Yeah, that Engels Oil Depot is right next to the strategic nuclear bombers.
And that was really also a target.
Obviously, the oil supplies the plane's fuel, but also that was nuclear bombers.
And they also went after, in the last week, drones to the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the biggest one in Europe.
They keep persisting on that.
And as well.
So yeah, Ukraine is a terrorist outfit.
Looks like I might be unstable connection again.
Ukraine is a terrorist outfit supported just as U.S. supports the annihilation of the Palestinian people.
They're supporting terrorism with Ukraine again, all over again.
So it's a bad situation growing worse.
And, of course, Zelensky is becoming desperate now.
He wants those troops in there from the West so bad to get this war to continue.
This war is about to end.
Kursk, that was a big mistake.
It's about to end within the next couple of months, I believe, I pray.
I do agree, and I only wish the U.S. were on the right side of history now and then.
I'd celebrate now and then.
Brian.
If you'll recall, in November, Vladimir Putin expanded his nuclear doctrine to vastly open up the situations that might occur that would result in them using nuclear weapons.
Now, make no mistake about it, this was not Ukraine attacking a fuel depot.
This is the U.S., Western forces, and NATO forces that are controlled.
By a world-dominating power that's trying to encroach on Russia's property.
Putin keeps drawing sort of red lines that we're not supposed to cross, or at least lines in the sand that we're not supposed to cross, and we just keep crossing them.
It's foolish to believe that we can continue to take this route of prodding at this great bear without consequence.
Sooner or later, Russia will and can be capable of unleashing vast weaponry on America.
In the meantime, the situation with Greenland is incredibly important about that because you've got the northern trade routes.
That Russia has largely dominated over the past that are now being threatened in the northern areas.
So, a lot of people believe that the North Pole is solid ice.
That is just simply not true.
There are ships that go from Greenland across to Russia and Alaska, that there are at least four trade routes that are so important for the Russians to bring liquefied natural gas and oil and gas product across the sea, and it's 30% faster than the Panama Canal.
Playing this game where he thinks that he can rattle the sabers continually.
And I was hoping that Donald Trump would be more of a peacemaker in terms of trying to make arrangements and allow free trade to continue.
But it seems that he's more interested in continuing to protect America hegemony over the long haul than he is worried about the potential use of super advanced weaponry, not just on the American people, but on Europeans and all over the Middle East.
So I expect that if the direction of travel doesn't change very quickly, that we're going to start to see weaponry that we never dreamed existed to be deployed on military targets throughout Europe and even possibly in the continental United States and Alaska. that we're going to start to see weaponry that we You mean by the United States?
I think Russia can use their military.
Their advanced military capabilities to begin striking even America in time.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu committee says Israel must prepare for war with Turkey.
The ousting of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad has put the U.S., Israel, and Turkey on a fast-strap to broader and more violent conflagration.
By removing Assad and obliterating the state, the coup managers created a power vacuum that has been filled by the proxy armies of the most vicious and aggressive nations in the world, all of whom are now prepared to intensify the fighting to determine the final borders all of whom are now prepared to intensify the fighting to determine the final borders The gravity of the situation has not been lost on the media.
Sounding increasingly hysterical with every passing day concern, a few of the Headlines appearing Wednesday.
Israel must prepare for war with Turkey, new government warns New Arab.
Government report Israel must get ready for war with Turkey, the European conservative.
Turkey-backed Syria may be a bigger threat than Iran, says Israeli government panel, Middle East Eye.
Be ready for war, not Iran.
Israel said Turkey-backed Syria is now a bigger threat.
Times of India.
Erwin's policies in Syria bring Turkey and Israel closer to confrontation.
Jerusalem post.
Israel incites war with Turkey after Syrian revolution than daily Sabah.
Get the picture.
Now that Assad has gone, the mask has been stripped away.
The competing agendas of the various actors is becoming more apparent.
In this new paradigm, the U.S., Israel, and Turkey are not allies.
Attempting to achieve the same objective of toppling Assad, but bitter enemies determined to impose their own strategic vision on the entire region.
This is where Washington's ambitious plan to control the region's pipeline corridors and critical resources meets head-on with the expansionist Zionist plan for greater Israel and Turkey's dream of a new Ottoman Empire.
The Middle East has simply not been enough for multiple hegemons attempting to control the main levers of regional power or imposing their own security architecture on their far-flung neighbors.
Something's got to give.
Sooner or later, there's going to be a flashpoint followed by years of bloodletting.
Hear from an article at Middle East Eye.
Turkey!
Could pose a greater threat to Israel than Iran and Syria if it supports a hostile Sunni extremist force in Damascus, an Israeli government commission said Monday.
Ankara has emerged as a major beneficiary of the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria last month.
After a rebel-led offensive, HTS and other Turkish-backed Syrian groups came to the fore.
The Committee for the Evaluation of the Defense Establishment Budget and Balance of Power was established in 2023 to develop recommendations for the defense ministry regarding potential areas of conflict Israel could face in the coming years.
It must be considered Israel may face a new threat arising in Syria, which in some respect could be no less severe than the previous.
This threat could take the form of an extreme Sunni force that would also refuse to recognize the very existence of Israel.
Furthermore, since the Sunni rebels will wield political power by virtue of their central control in Syria, a greater threat may emerge from them than the Iranian, which had been limited due to Israel's ongoing actions as well as the restriction placed on Iran by the which had been limited due to Israel's ongoing actions as well as the
The committee warned the problem could intensify if the Syrian force effectively became a Turkish proxy, as part of Turkey's ambition to restore the Ottoman Empire to its former glory.
The presence of Turkish proxies or Turkish forces in Syria could increase the risk of a direct Turkey-Israel conflict, the report assessed.
Meanwhile, Paul Craig Roberts, a fellow of Syria, explained, I've complained about the difficulty of acquiring an understanding of Syria's sudden disappearance.
Neither Western nor Russian media provide believable accounts.
Recently, I came across Vinian Cunningham's article, however, to Syria.
After 13 years of U.S. state terrorism on the website of strategic culture, which is often difficult to access because Washington stupidly regards it as Russian disinformation.
On the surface, Syria's sunclap looked like Syria's allies, Russia and Iran, had sold out Syria.
This perception could be veiled to the disadvantage of Russia and Iran as reliable allies.
But the real explanation is that years of economic aid and trade sanctions forced by the West on Syria, years of Washington's proxy war against Syria, foreign occupation of Syria's oil and wheat production by American and Turkish forces, depriving the government of revenues, hollowed out the Syrian economy.
and left the Syrian military poorly paid for its service.
Syria, Cunningham wrote, fell to a 13-year war of attrition, in which all the victims on both sides were Arabs.
The Syrian people started a food, medicine, fuel with over half the population displaced, suffered a high inflation and a destroyed currency, and ran out of the ability to resist.
I contacted Finian.
An international journalist I've known for years and learned that such that much that permits me to provide an explanation of Syria's destruction.
I begin by withdrawing my suspicion of Russian and Iranian perfidy in Syria's collapse.
I had recently expressed in columns and interviews, Cunningham agreed Russia and Iran's fateful strategic blunder was, having repelled the American proxy forces, halting the conflict before decisively defeating halting the conflict before decisively defeating Washington's terrorist proxies and forcing the few American troops controlling the oil fields out of Syria.
Cunningham has convinced me Russia and Iran were genuinely blindsided by the sudden collapse, indicating perhaps intelligence failure.
Lack of preparation, but not perfidy.
Thirteen years of U.S. and European sanction and proxy war, together with U.S. and Turkish occupation of Syria's oil and wheat provinces, deprived the state of export revenue, leaving people with blackouts, hyperinflation, and the soldiers impoverished and demoralized.
A halt in the conflict prior to the total defeat of the American proxies.
An eviction of Turkey and Washington from Syria meant that the exhausting multi-year struggle had no payoff, no benefit for Syria.
For their own reasons, Putin and Iran wanted the fight to stop.
And it stopped before Syria achieved any benefit from its own success in repelling Washington's proxy army.
The Golden Wheat Province has remained in enemy hands.
The war stopped too soon, and the victory was hollow.
Assad's ability to govern was crippled by normal Arab corruption and self-serving bureaucracy.
Additionally, Assad was lured by Saudis and oil sheikdoms with false promises and normalized relations of the Alawite Syrians with the Sunni Arabs.
This caused Assad to dissent himself to some extent from his Russian and Iranian allies.
In hope it would expedite the normalization promise that would make Syria unified.
In effect, Assad, Putin and Iran lost focus on decisively winning the war and wandered off into a peace process and a pointless Astana agreement just that Putin sought refuge in the Minsk agreement, used by the West to create a larger Ukrainian army.
Putin's conflict, with which, has now reached three years.
The HDS, Al-Qaeda, Isaac, Washington, Proxy, and Sergei were also astonished that Syria collapsed without a fight.
The former terrorists had been rebranded, now Democrats.
Assad remained until it became clear that Syria no longer had the will to fight at which point he left for asylum in Moscow.
Assad's wife, years of battle with recurring cancer, may have exhausted his willingness to commit his life to providing governance to a population in which division between Sunni and Alawite made impossible unity necessary for a nation.
The disunity of Arabs had left them easy pickings for outside rulers.
The American scientists knew that conservatives closely allied with Israel.
Have almost achieved their agenda of overthrowing seven countries, so it's taken them longer than five years.
The demise of Syria has left Iran, Muslim but not Arab, isolated, and Israel has cut off from resupply.
This has removed the pressure on the Israeli government and anointed the criminal Netanyahu, the crown of the founding father of the greater Israel.
A failure of Russia and Iran to have seen the adverse strategic consequences for them.
Instead, wandering off into false peace agreements indicates a failure in strategic judgment.
They did not sell out Syria.
They just failed to understand the importance of Syria to them.
Both are now set up for continuing to attack as they are obstacles to Washington and Israel's Hegemony.
The terrorist army Washington unleashed on Syria the Washington asset, Cunningham explains.
The main insurgent faction, HTS, led by Mohammed Al-Jawaldi, HTS is an internationally proscribed terrorist organization, even the U.S., officially designates as an outlawed group.
Its leader has a bounty of $10 million on his head offered by the Department of State.
Well, remarkably, Washington has taken it off.
But in the shell game of U.S. proxy war, HDS and its leader, Washington assets.
From 2011, 11 Americans and their NATO partners used Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Jubal al-Nasra Front, later HDS, with the rat lines of weapons and fighters from Libya, Turkey, and all over the world to descend on Syria.
To inflict horrors.
The Western media promulgated the charade by cynically referring to the terrorist proxies as moderate rebels.
The Pentagon-run military base at El Temp in southern Syria is said to be for training moderate rebels when, in fact, it is jihadist extremists who are weaponized.
Only last week before the final push on the Syrian gavel of Damascus, Al-Jawani, the HTS commander, was given a primetime interview platform by CNN to rehabilitate his image as a statesman-like leader instead of being a wanted terrorist.
Al-Jawani said the days when he and his organization were associates of ISIS and al-Qaeda are long gone.
CNN and other Western media do their best to make the claim sound plausible.
Such a happy ending.
Happy endings are what the insoucent mindless masses that comprise Western civilization alight in.
You can be certain that not truth, but more happy endings are coming your way.
Even the genocide of the Palestinians will be turned into a happy ending.
Joaquin, your thoughts?
Well, I think we kind of saw this coming.
With the removal of Assad, that there would be a failed state in Syria.
It was already failing for a long time.
The subversion of Israel to move in, bribe the Syrian generals, and all those economic sanctions, they kicked in it.
And I also believe that Assad never wanted the job.
His brother was supposed to take the job, but he died.
And so by default, he had to fill in.
And his heart was not in it.
And it was mentioned in the article that his wife has cancer.
And I think his relationship with his wife is far more important than being head of state.
And so, yeah, I think it was like a...
A perfect storm of ingredients at work for years to end up with a failed state, a really thoroughly now on the level of Libya, a failed state where there's all these various factions that are competing against each other now.
We saw this coming.
And the bigger picture now emerging is the two dictators Erdogan from Turkey and Netanyahu from Israel are now basically facing off.
Turkey has the largest army outside of the United States as a NATO member and they're very good fighters.
It looks like America is going to have to choose between its, quote, NATO ally that's kind of moved in recent years towards Putin and Russia.
Nonetheless, he's a trickster and goes whichever way the wind blows for his own advantage.
But yes, he has always had the ambition of renewing the Ottoman Empire.
I think that, yeah, it looks like America's going to have to choose now between Israel and Turkey, because they have kind of been even opposing Turkey with the support of the Kurds, and they're basically stealing the oil and gas from the eastern Syria oil fields.
So now it's opened up where there's a larger conflict in America.
If they have to choose, we know who they're going to back, the Jews!
So, it looks like World War III is opening up on many fronts now in the Middle East because we still have the ongoing fronts of Gaza and we still have the ongoing Hezbollah front in Lebanon.
So, yeah, it's getting into a much larger, wider war that will be World War III. And U.S. is going to back Israel.
East versus West.
Yeah, I agree.
I think we are smart enough to avoid war with Russia over Ukraine, but we're dumb enough to fall for Israel all the way in the Middle East.
Brian, your thoughts?
This is a very complex situation.
Obviously, Turkey being a part of NATO. Currently, NATO being sort of an enemy of Russia, in terms of Russia wants to do everything they can to prevent NATO expansion near its borders, is a problem.
But it was Western forces, the US, NATO forces, Israel, that conspired with Turkey to basically destroy Syria.
So now the question comes, okay, if Israel is threatening Turkey because of whatever situation has developed, will Turkey go running off to Russia and say, let's partner up to stop this NATO military expansion?
And that's going to put America in a tough spot.
And of course, as Joachim so astutely points out, America almost always takes the side of the Zionists and greater Israel.
And I think right now, with the nature of the political structure being bought and paid for by Zionist Israeli supporters, you're going to find America getting themselves into very hot water and a continued expansion of a war between Russia.
which is joining up with Turkey, to Protect its borders.
America teaming up with the Zionists to help the Zionists expand the borders of Israel.
While in the meantime, Donald Trump appears to be indicating that his new definition of make America great again is to have America go in and colonialize Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, and the Gulf of Mexico.
So it appears...
That Donald Trump is taking his playbook from the Zionists in terms of power and expansion are more important than sovereignty and preventing war.
So what is Make America Great Again going to look like?
You know, if we had a proper foreign policy, we would just simply get out of the Middle East.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Let all of Israel's terrifying neighbors go ahead and do what they need to do while we focus on domestic issues and try to rebuild this nation from the inside out.
None of that will happen because the influences that are now pushing and pulling from a large-scale global perspective are just simply too strong for Donald Trump to escape from.
Expect further turmoil in the Middle East.
Expect Israel's neighbors to continue to rise, even with anger in their hearts.
And expect Donald Trump to redefine America great as a massive expansion of our borders, just like Israel and the Zionists are currently trying to do.
Fascinating.
Meanwhile, the seeker.
Genocide.
The new normal.
Chris Hedge is right.
Joe Biden's parting gift of $8 billion in weapons to the apartheid state of Israel acknowledges the gruesome reality of the genocide in Gaza.
This is not the end.
This is not even the beginning of the end.
This is a permanent, endless war designed 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's a culmination of the Zionist dream.
It'll be paid for with rivers of blood, Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Avi Dichter, Was probably offering conservative estimates when he said, I think we're going to stay in Gaza for a long time.
I think most people understand.
Israel by years in some kind of West Bank situation, where you go in and out, maybe you remain along the Netzerim corridor.
Mass extermination takes time.
It's also expensive.
Fortunately for Israel, its lobby in the U.S. has its stranglehold on Congress, our electoral process, and the media narrative.
Americans, although 61% of our ending weaponship is Israel, will pay for it.
And those who 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. provides $79 billion in military aid to Israel from October 2023 to October 2024, a substantial increase from the already $3.8 billion in aid the U.S. gives Israel annually.
This is a record for a single year.
State informed Congress.
It intends to approve another $8 billion to purchase U.S. made armed by Israel.
This will provide Israel with more GPS guidance system for bombs, more artillery shells, more missile for fighter jets and choppers, more bombs and going 2,800 unguided MK-84, which Israel has the habit of dropping on densely packed tent encampments in Gaza.
The pressure wave from the 2,000 pound MK-84 pulverizes its buildings and exterminates life within a 400-yard radius.
The blast, which ruptures lungs, rips apart limbs, bursts sinus cavities up to 100 yards away, leaves behind a 50-foot-wide, 36-foot-deep crater.
Israel appears to use this bomb to assassinate Hassam Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah in Beirut.
On September 27, 2024, the genocide and the decision to fuel up with billions of dollars marks an ominous turning point.
It's a public declaration by the U.S. and its allies in Europe that international and humanitarian law, though blatantly disregarded by the U.S. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, in a generation earlier in Vietnam, is meaningless.
We will not even pay lip service.
Those who are poor and vulnerable will kneel in subjugation.
The genocide in Gaza is a template for the future, and those in the Global South know it.
The wretched of the earth who lacks sophisticated weapons who do not have modern armies, artillery units, missiles, navies, armored units, and warplanes will strike back with crude tools.
They will match individual acts of terror against massive campaigns of state terror.
Are we surprised we're hated?
Terror begets terror.
We saw this in New Orleans, where a man who was allegedly inspired by the Islamic State, Il-14, We drove his pickup truck into a crowd on New Year's Day.
We'll see more of this.
But let's be clear.
We started it.
The moral void of the suicide bomber is birthed from our moral void.
Israel's frustration at the dogged resistance in Gaza, the West Bank, Yemen, and Lebanon increases the bloodlust.
Members of Israel Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee sent a letter to Minister of Defense Israel Katz going on the government to intensify the siege of Gaza.
Effective control of the territory and the population is the only meaning toward cleansing enemy lines from the strip and naturally toward decisive victory rather than treading water in a war of attrition.
Well, the side that is most worn is Israel.
Therefore, we end up inserting our soldiers again and again into neighborhoods and alleys that were already conquered by them many times before.
Israel, the letter reads, must carry out remote elimination of all energy sources, that is, fuel, solar panels, The
letter concludes...
After these actions and days of siege upon those who remain, the IDF might enter gradually, conduct a full cleansing of the enemy's nest.
This should be done in the northern Gaza Strip, similarly in any other territory, encirclement, evacuation of the population to an humanitarian zone and effective siege until surrender or full elimination of the enemy.
This is how every army acts.
And so must the idea, in short, exterminate the brutes.
Shamsa Din Jabbar, 42-year-old military vet who plowed his pickup truck into a crowd of New York revelers, New Year's revelers in New Orleans, killing 14, injuring 35, spoke to us in the language used to speak to the Arab world.
Indiscriminate death.
The targeting of innocents.
The callous indifference to life, the thirst for revenge, the demonization of others, the belief that fate or God or Western civilization has decreed that we have a right to impose our vision of the world with violence.
Jabbar, who posted videos online in which he professed his support for the Islamic State, is our murderous doppelganger.
He will not.
Be the last.
When a society is dispossessed, when the injustice thrust upon it appear insoluble, when the enemy is all-powerful, when one's own people are bestialized as index cockroaches, two-legged beasts, then the mind moves beyond reason, Robert Fisk writes, in the great war for civilization.
It becomes...
Fascinated in two senses, with the idea of an afterlife, and with the possibility this belief will somehow provide a weapon of more than nuclear potential.
When the United States was turning Beirut into a NATO base in 1983 and used its firepower against Muslim guerrillas in the mountains of the east, Iranian revolutionary guards were promising that God would rid Lebanon of the American presence.
I wrote at the time, Not entirely tongue-in-cheek.
Now, this was likely to be a titanic battle.
U.S. technology versus God.
Who would win?
Then on 23 October 1983, a lone suicide bomber drove a truckload of explosives into the U.S. Marine compound in Beirut Airport, killing 241 American servicemen in six seconds.
I later interviewed one of the few survivors to have seen the bomber.
All I can remember is that the guy was smiling.
These acts of terrorism are in the case of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Yemen.
Armed resistance are used to justify endless mass killing.
Dolorosa leads to a global death spiral, especially as the climate crisis reconfigures a planet and international bodies, such as the United Nations and the International Criminal Court, become hollow appendages.
We are sowing the Middle East with dragon's teeth and, in the ancient Greek myth, these teeth are rising from the soil as enraged warriors determine Yeah, Chris Hedges has been in the thick of the fight for a long, long time, telling the truth.
I really have admired him as a journalist.
I mean, you can talk about these countries, you know, the Western country led by the United States, pretty much taken over.
By very evil forces called the Globalists, Israel, Rothschild, and the rest of the bloodline controllers.
But I also have made the distinction that I believe even the Eastern powers, they brought communism, you know, with the Bolshevik Revolution.
They supported Mao.
They supported the rise of the Eastern powers as well.
So, they are the controlled opposition.
The eastern powers and the western powers are completely dominated by these, I call them satans, because that's what they are.
And what they have done here is that all of these world events have been planned years in advance, and that what's going on in California, It's very much related to what the latest developments in the Middle East are and the latest developments in Ukraine are.
It's all interwoven as the grand plan of taking over the world completely with a technocratic, one-world government, one-world religion, Satanism, and total neo-feudalism.
For those survivors still on the Earth, after a decimated depopulation agenda, pretty much removes 90% to 95% of all humans living and breathing at this time.
That's the bigger picture.
We are facing our own basically demise as a human species, and it's down to The critical moments here in the next, what, year, two years, three, if we even have that long, to be able to turn this around.
They got the big guns.
We got, in America, the little guns.
We're not going to get rid of them.
Because they are self-defense when they start breaking down our doors in our homes.
And that is coming too.
They've been gunning for our guns in America for a long time.
We are the last nation to retain our Second Amendment private ownership of guns.
But it comes together where...
We must mobilize as a human species to overcome these forces of evil that have been in control of the world forever, and we must remove them if we are to survive.
And all of these different fields of battle here that we're seeing are very much related, and they all come down to self-survival for the human species.
Well said, Brian.
You know, I hate to sound like Debbie Downer on this, but we've got a lot of problems here at home related to humanitarian-type issues.
We've got homeless problems all over the nation.
We've got domestic problems.
This dividing line between rich and poor has caused a tremendous amount of suffering right here.
For a second, transport yourself mentally over to Gaza right now, where the humanitarian situation is so dire that the Israeli military continues to block any aid from getting into the Gaza areas, creating such a terribly unsafe situation.
Thousands of families are forced to brave the open weather in tents amid famine-like conditions.
In Gaza, the sewage, the water's not running.
And Israelis continue to attack hospitals and put out orders to evacuate the areas that they want to go after.
Now, according, I was just looking these numbers up, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, or UNICEF, Nearly all of Gaza's 1.1 million children need mental health and psychosocial support amid the ongoing Israeli bombardment, repeated displacement and catastrophic living conditions right now happening in the winter cold.
The UN estimates that 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned since the start of the war in Gaza, and that's now in its 16th month.
And at least 203 journalists have been killed by Israeli military since the start of the war, including several already this new year.
Overall, Israel has killed 46,565 Palestinians and injured 109,660 so far with 28 killed yesterday.
Go ahead, Brian.
No, that's it.
I just wanted to hit you with the shocking numbers, with the real numbers.
You know, we tend to downplay the power and misery of war, but what's happening over here is absolutely inhuman.
And yeah, that big star of Remfan there on the back Israeli flag is beginning to make the whole world sick.
The more we hear about this situation, the whole world.
Zionism will fall someday.
That arm of the Antichrist will not last forever, but it will be replaced with another arm in time.
But right now, they seem to be the people that are being put out front as the big enemies of the world, and I'd say deservedly so at this particular point in time.
Every time I see that satanic hexagram, I begin to...
Vomit in my mouth.
Don?
You're muted.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Go ahead.
I thought you were wanting to add a comment.
We're good.
No.
Okay, here we go.
*sniff* Guys, I'm sorry.
I have to check out.
I've got visitors.
I'll see you guys next time around.
Brian, thank you so much.
Okay, we got just the stories that you were keen on.
Harris shocked Asia by certifying Trump's 2024 election victory.
I was surprised.
I thought it was going to be a big deal.
It was absolutely routine.
She was a model citizen.
As the dust settles from this stage of the election process, the implications of the results are enormous.
With Trump winning both the presidency and vice presidency alongside Vance, people can't help but wonder what the future holds.
Will Harris continue to push her agenda?
As he steps into her role, can Trump recapture the momentum that made him a household name during his previous term?
The next couple of years are bound to be filled with touchdowns and fumbles as both camps lay the groundwork for what promises to be an exciting political journey, heading up to a new term beginning on January 20th.
In a world filled with plots thicker than a bowl of chili, the unfolding tale of this election is one for the books.
It's a reminder that American democracy remains an ever-evolving story with characters who will stop at nothing to secure their place in history.
And as voters gear up for what's next, one thing is for sure, the political stage is only going to get livelier from here.
Now, grab the popcorn, folks.
It's going to be an exhilarating ride.
Meanwhile, a judge sentences Trump in the hush money case with decline to impose punishment.
Trump, after sentencing, maintains a case should never have gone to trial.
President Trump maintained in a social media post that the New York Hush Money case should never have been brought against him.
No doubt he's right.
And he lashed out again that the prosecutor has secured the conviction.
Again, yes.
Trump was sentenced to unconditional discharge, in which a defendant is not fined, locked up, or given probation.
He was convicted and manned 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a payment made to an adult film actress during the 2016 campaign.
Friday's sentencing formalized his status as the first president or vice president who is a felon.
Trump appeared remotely from Palm Beach, where he's conducting his transition back to the presidency.
Here's more.
President-elect Trump was sentenced Friday in his submission case, but the judge declined to impose any punishment.
The punishment-free judgment marks a quiet end to an extraordinary case that, for the first time, put a former president and major presidential candidate in a courtroom as a criminal defendant.
The case was the only one of four indictments that went to trial, possibly the only one that ever will.
Trump, wearing a dark suit, seated next to one of his lawyers with an American flag, appeared on a video screen as he again insisted he did not commit a crime.
It had been a political witch hunt.
It was done to damage my reputation so I'd lose the election.
Obviously, that didn't work.
Called the case a weaponization of government, an embarrassment to New York.
He's right on both counts.
Merchant the judge!
Said that, like when facing any other defendant, he must consider any aggravating factors before imposing sins, but the legal protection Trump will have as presence is a factor that overrides all others.
Despite the extraordinary breadth of those protections, one power they do not provide is the power to erase a jury verdict.
The judge noted voters that returned Trump to power, the soon-to-be-president Relax.
Back into his chair.
Trump spoke about six minutes as he addressed the court by video, saying his criminal trial and conviction had been a terrible experience.
Insisted he committed no crime.
I have no doubt he committed no crime.
Before Friday's hearing, Merchant had indicated he had plans and no penalty sentence, which meant no jail time, no probation, no fine would be imposed.
Prosecutors said prior they supported the no penalty sentence, but they chided Trump's personal attack on the legal system throughout and after the case.
Judge Merchant was surprisingly cordial, and he wished Trump Godspeed in his return to the White House.
Meanwhile, a migrant caravan races to the border before Trump takes office.
A caravan of up to 2,000 apart in southern Mexico, in a race to meet the border before Trump is inaugurated.
Migrants are trying to take advantage of buying loose asylum and border policies.
More such groups are reportedly expected to make the trek before Trump implements tighter border restrictions and mass deportations.
The latest large group, at least a tenth since October, began its northward march Friday from Mexico's Chiapas State, on a border with Guatemala.
It was said to be days from reaching Juarez, Mexico, just south of El Paso.
These reported caravans generally travel very slowly, often splinter before they make progress, moving northbound toward the southwest border.
Nevertheless, Customs and Border Protection will continue to monitor developments in coordination with our foreign and interagency counterparts.
as we have with previous movements of migrants.
Several shelter operators in Mexico contacted by border report.
Some they've seen an increase in new arrival, but not enough to overwhelm their bed capacity or food and cleaning supplies.
Some fear that could change when Trump implements his plan of mass deportation.
Forcing seats like Moraes, To go not only with a steady stream of migrants coming from the South, a large number being removed from the U.S. to Mexico, be it once in, just in.
Print up or rename it the Gulf of America.
I'm sure you're familiar with the Gulf of Mexico.
We all are, but does it belong to Mexico?
Does it border only Mexico?
No, in fact, the shoreline.
It's almost identical between the U.S. and Mexico.
The U.S. has a coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, spanning approximately 1,680 miles across five states.
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, Mexico.
Coastline, covering about 1,743 miles.
Spain, the Mexican states of Tamaulubas, Veracruz, Tabasco.
So Trump just announced today he'll be naming it the Gulf of America.
Doesn't that have an amazing ring to it?
Meanwhile, Trump won't rule out military forces to seize control of Panama Canal and of Greenland.
Trump claimed both the canal and the Danish territory needed for U.S. economic security.
President-elect Trump.
Have been rebuked by leaders of both Panama and Denmark for insisting the Panama Canal in Greenland must be under American control.
His latest comments were expected to garner more anger and eye-rolling from abroad.
At a press conference at Florida Res at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday, the Republican leader refused to rule out military force to take over the canal in Greenland.
Might be the apt to do something.
The Panama Canal is vital to our country.
We need Greenland for national security.
He added both the canal and Greenland, the world's largest island, and home to U.S. military base are needed for economic security.
Under President Carter, who died last month, the U.S. signed a treaty returning the canals onto Panama in 1979 for a dollar.
The Pacific and Atlantic have been solely controlled by the Panamanian government since 1999. Trump repeated the false claim that the canal is being operated by China last month.
After the president-elect demanded that the Panama Canal be returned to the U.S. in a full quick and without question, Panamanian President Jose Romulino posted a video in response as president.
I want to state clearly that every square meter of the Panama Canal is the joining zone of Panama's and will remain so.
The sovereignty and independence of our country is non-negotiable.
Trump's comment came as his son, Donald Trump Jr., joined right-wing activist Charlie Kirk and other Trump allies on a visit to Greenland.
The president-elect suggested that the trip was made in an official capacity.
The reception had been great.
They and the free will need safety, security, strength, and peace.
This is a deal that must happen.
Mega?
Make Greenland great again.
Greenland official clarified that Trump Union was visiting only as a private individual.
No representatives would be meeting with him.
Trump says that people really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to Greenland.
But if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security.
Greenland is home to 60,000, self-ruling with its own legislature.
Lots foreign and defense policy are controlled by Denmark.
The Arctic island lies in a region where global powers are vying for military and economic control.
Trump also expressed a desire to purchase Greenland during his first term.
A goal dismissed at the time as absurd.
My Danish prime minister met a Fredrickson.
Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.
Fredrickson reiterated on Tuesday.
Joaquin, your thoughts?
I mean, what a strange variety of moves.
The showman is living up to his theatrics reputation.
That's all I should say.
Yeah, if you really look a little bit deeper, he represents the controllers of this world, the one world government that's forming, that's materializing as we speak.
The UN Agenda 2030...
He breaks down this world into global zones that number 10 in all.
And one of them includes North America that includes Greenland as part of that global zone along with South America and breaking up in eight other zones.
So really, Trump is a globalist.
Moving us towards the one world government broken down into 10 different global zones.
That's what this is about.
Using theatrics along the way, which is his forte and reputation, of course.
So, yeah, I mean, this whole thing with the borders and all that.
I mean, if something gets done to stop the foreign invasion, so...
We're not so overloaded.
We're crushed from within because of what's going to happen as far as, you know, we already are seeing the crime rates going up and many of those crimes are being committed by foreign nationals.
We're seeing the damage already done.
If he can stop that invasion, that's a good thing.
And the lawfare, you know, they're all petering because, you know, he's back in power.
He can be very vindictive in going after these people that were after him with their lawfare suits, frivolous.
It was all theatrics, you know, more theatrics.
So, yeah, I don't see any kind of change as far as the global plan for one world government with him coming back into office.
No change.
It's full speed ahead all over the world.
That's fascinating, Martin.
Thanks to you and to Brian's simply excellent commentary.
Don, take us out.
Oh, boy.
What a show today on the 12th of January, 2025. Well, we've survived half a month so far in this new year, and it's been a heck of a start-up for the new year, and we've summarized it pretty well.
You've got to watch that first hour.
And I thank you so much for watching, and you've got to share these.
I will say that we've blown in numbers lately because of different controversies and things, but we have something called the truth, which expresses the news.
And I think that our truth is standing tall, and the news is crazy.
So thank you so much for watching and sharing, and I hope to see you back.
See you next week.
