As Kurt Vonnegut wrote in his poem “Joe Heller”: True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22’ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.” Not bad! Rest in peace!

Every woman and girl with starry-eyed romantic dreams needs to wake up.

When “Israel” enters into ceasefire agreements, it does so with the next round of conflict already in mind. In the cases of Lebanon and Gaza, this strategy goes even further: ceasefires are used as opportunities to actively pursue military and political objectives, while the opposing side is left trapped in a dilemma. In the short term, the Zionist regime views its ceasefire agreements as a net positive. This is evident in both the timing of these agreements and the manner in which they are implemented—or, in some cases, not implemented at all. So far, “Israel” has violated the Gaza ceasefire around 3,000 times officially. As for in Lebanon, we are now rapidly approaching the 10,000 violation milestone...

Excellent analysis.

Turkey has launched a new economic move towards Syria's energy and mineral resources. Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar said that the resources required for the reconstruction of Syria will be provided by bringing the country's energy and underground riches into the economy, and announced that a technical delegation from Turkey was sent to the region in this context. According to Minister Bayraktar, the first team to go to Syria after the end of the Assad rule on December 8 was affiliated with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. It was stated that the delegation sent by land made determinations in the field of energy, especially the electricity infrastructure, and the amount of electricity given by Turkey to northern Syria was increased. In order to increase oil production, it was stated that it was aimed to commission the Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO)...

The DOJ has indicated there will likely be no further arrests related to the Epstein files. This is bizarre considering that among the six million files are admissions of murder and other serious crimes. Not only are we not seeing arrests, but the DOJ has been redacting names! It seems they could be protecting the reputations of paedophiles and murderers. Extraordinary. Let’s take a look at the evidence… In the following email, someone wrote: “I never thought I would be able to kill someone in my life. I was wrong.”

Saif al-Islam Kadhafi, the son of Libya’s former leader Muammar Kadhafi, was killed early Tuesday in an armed attack at his residence in the western Libyan town of Zintan, according to family members, advisers, lawyers, and Libyan media reports. Libyan media reported that the attackers disabled surveillance cameras at Saif al-Islam’s residence prior to the assault. Members of his political team said four gunmen stormed the property after cutting off security systems. It remains unclear who was responsible for the killing. Multiple Sources Confirm Killing “Seif al-Islam has fallen as a martyr,” his cousin, Hamid Kadhafi, told Libyan network al-Ahrar, adding that the family had no further details. Local media reportedhearing from sources close to the Kadhafi family that four assailants carried out the attack, killing the 53-year-old at his private garden before fleeing the scene. The killing reportedly occurred at around 2:30 a.m. local time. Libya’s state news agency LANAcited his adviser, Abdallah Othman, as also confirming the killing. Othman later told Libya al-Ahrar that four gunmen had entered Saif al-Islam’s residence after disabling surveillance cameras and assassinated him. His lawyer, Khaled al-Zaidi, confirmed the killingon Tuesday evening, stating that it took place at Saif al-Islam’s home in Zintan. French lawyer Marcel Ceccaldi, who also represented Saif al-Islam, told French media outlets that his client had been assassinated in Zintan. Libyan media reported that the attackers were unidentified and fled immediately after the attack. Investigation Launched According to local media, the Libyan Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation into the killing. No official statement has yet been issued by Libyan authorities. Meanwhile, the 444 Combat Brigade issued a categorical denial of any involvement in the incident. Details surrounding the killing remain unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility. Killing With Sanctions, Lying With Statistics Political Figure Marked by Controversy Saif al-Islam had long been viewed as the most prominent political heir of his father, though he never held an official post. Before the 2011 war, he was often described as a reform-minded figure and a key intermediary between Libya and Western governments. After his arrest in November 2011 in southern Libya, following an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, he was sentenced to death in 2015 after a trial widely criticized by international rights groups. He was later released under a general amnesty. In 2021, Saif al-Islam announced his intention to run in Libya’s presidential elections, a move that sharply divided public opinion. Libya’s electoral board ultimately rejected his presidential bid. Legacy of the Kadhafi Family Saif al-Islam’s killing comes more than a decade after the 2011 NATO-backed war that led to the violent overthrow and killing of his father after more than 40 years in power. The conflict dismantled Libya’s state institutions and plunged the country into prolonged instability, marked by rival governments, armed groups, and foreign interference. Despite the collapse of the former political order, nostalgia for the pre-2011 period persisted among segments of the population, particularly in southern Libya and areas historically aligned with the Gaddafi leadership. His killing ends the political ambitions of the most prominent surviving member of the Gaddafi family, whose brief re-emergence in political life had reignited deep divisions in Libya.

'Trump wants to start another war with Iran to save the Iranian people, but the Iranian people don't need his saving. We know that you [the American people] also want no more wars. Your lives and our lives are worth more than Trump's ambitions. Too many American families have suffered and paid the price of foreign conflicts. If you allow Trump to go to war with Iran, it will be totally different from Venezuela. My country will be destroyed, and your people will be buried. We both lose.'

The latest tranche of Epstein documents have provided further evidence that he was not only a vile paedophile, he was also an appalling racist. We’ve previously covered Epstein’s sickening fantasies about using the supposedly “superior gene pool” of himself and the children he raped to create a “super-race”. However, the new files provide further evidence of his eugenicist views...

Bill Gates discussed with Jeffrey Epstein how they could “get rid of” all the poor people in the world in 2011. This is the true psychopathic mentality of powerful capitalists; to them, we are just ants to be stepped on if we no longer benefit them financially.
