(Natural News) Following more than a decade of fighting militants and irregular forces in urban centers in Iraq as well as during clandestine operations around the world as part of the Global War On Terror, the Pentagon appears to have learned a lesson: Mega-city combat is a loser, in terms of personnel, material and overall cost, not to mention victory would be elusive at best and impossible to achieve at worst. That is mostly because warfare today does not involve the leveling of cities like it has in global conflicts of yesteryear, when, during World Wars I & II entire cities […]

Lebanese President, Michel Aoun, vowed that those who were responsible for the violence that erupted on Thursday in Beirut will be held accountable, as reported by Reuter's. In a televised speech after shootings that killed six people, Aoun said it was "unacceptable that weapons are, once more, the means of communication among Lebanese rivals". "I have made contact with the relevant parties today to address what happened and, most importantly, to make sure that it never happens again." "We will not allow anyone to take the country hostage to their own interests." Six Shia were shot dead in Beirut, in an […]
“We have to move from performative losing to enacting laws. And this is our moment to demonstrate that we actually are serious about enacting the things that we run on, not just talking about them every two years,” said Sen.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has released a novel under her name, State of Terror, in which critics claim she gets even with Joe Biden and Donald Trump for beating her to the White House by characterizing one as a “fool” and the other as “terrifying” and dangerous. The novel, released last Tuesday, is a political thriller following the fictional contretemps surrounding the career of a new U.S. Secretary of State, “Ellen Adams,” as she rushes to solve a public response to a terror plot against the country. In the book she “co-wrote” with novelist Louise Penny, Clinton’s Sec. of State character is […]

The French ambassador to Belarus has left Minsk after being ordered out of the country, AFP reported on Sunday. No explanation about the reported expulsion has been immediately available. AFP’s Sunday evening report said that Ambassador Nicolas de Bouillane de Lacoste has already departed from Minsk, and that the Belarusian authorities had set an October 18 deadline for his departure. The agency cited a French embassy spokesman, who said that the envoy sent his goodbyes to the staff before leaving, but also recorded a “video message addressing the Belarusian people,” which is said to be scheduled to appear on Monday.

(Natural News) When SHTF, getting from one place to another might be harder than usual. For instance, if almost everyone in your area is trying to drive away to safety, then expect heavy traffic to delay your evacuation as well. Law enforcement officers may also want to check vehicles on their way out, thereby worsening traffic. Certain disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, can also make roads unsafe or render them impassable. It may help to know alternative routes in your area, but such options aren’t always available. In addition, it’s not unheard of for mobs to attack civilian vehicles in times of disaster.

St. Lucia (Vrbo): There was something about this summer that felt particularly fraught. First, there was the pressure to bounce back to regular life; then we endured the pendulum swing of the next COVID spike’s “will she or won’t she?” Through it all, we were forced to navigate the wildly varying safety protocols and personal preferences of our cities and acquaintances. It’s no surprise that this fall seems to have brought about one massive case of collective burnout.

Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Faucci, is setting the stage to blame the next uptick in Covid-19 cases on the unvaccinated. Fauci’s ‘science’ – which does not include the vastly superior naturally-acquired immunity from previous Covid-19 infections, or the fact that the vaccine does not prevent transmission – presumes that “the more people we get vaccinated, the less likelihood that there’s gonna be another surge as we go into the winter.“ Of note, just over 67% of the US is fully vaccinated, according to the CDC. JUST IN: Fauci says unvaccinated Americans could lead to dangers of fifth COVID wave […]

The message is clear: Risk your health and life with toxic “medications” for the pain and dysfunction of your […]

More than 16,000 migrants who tested positive for COVID-19 while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody were released into the United States, according to an agency law enforcement source.

The source informs Breitbart Texas that the figures only include those migrants who were tested by ICE. The source, not authorized to speak to the media, says the migrants ranged from infants to the elderly. A Department of Homeland Security document reviewed by Breitbart Texas reports the oldest released migrants were over 85 years old. […]

Back in 2017, as they were working expanding a highway that cuts across England from the east coast to the town of Leicester, construction workers stumbled across artifacts from Roman-era Britain. It took some time to reassemble some of the fragments, but the results were published early this year. Among the debris was part of a broken millstone complete with something one doesn’t usually associate with bakeries: a phallus with testicles attached. Though phalli were everywhere in antiquity—57 examples adorn Hadrian’s wall, for example—this particular piece of X-rated décor is unusual. The scientists working on the highway’s archaeological project said that […]

Reuters news agency published news a few days ago about Ankara's desire to buy 40 F-16 fighters from the US, as well as purchasing 80 modernization kits to service its existing warplanes, after Turkey was excluded from the F-35 program and denied access to those planes since Ankara purchased the S-400 air defence system from Russia. This surprising news, which was reported during the continued tension in Turkish-American relations, indicates that it was Ankara that asked the US to buy F-16 fighters instead of F-35 fighters.

By Brad Polumbo The national debt is rapidly closing in on $29 trillion. The federal government now owes an astounding $228,999 per taxpayer. All the while, politicians in Washington, DC are bickering over whether to spend $4.5 trillion more or “just” $1.5 trillion. Yet, almost entirely omitted from the debate over the so-called “infrastructure” spending bonanza is the fact that the federal government is already running off a fiscal cliff—as a new analysis makes plain.

It’s not practical in terms of creating that debate, but it’s not principled either,” Hutchinson said. “I am […]

The Palestinian Authority yesterday denied recent Israeli reports claiming it had refused to provide protection for the prisoners who had escaped the high security Gilboa Prison last month. "What was recently claimed by Israeli media about the Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh refusing to provide protection for the six heroic prisoners who dug their freedom tunnel with their own hands in the fortified Gilboa Prison was fake news," the PA's spokesperson said on Facebook. Ibrahim Melhem added that the rumours aimed at "weakening the national unity and creating a rupture in the national consensus," stressing that Shtayyeh had praised the "heroism […]
The fertility rate in England and Wales has fallen to the lowest level in recorded amid the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, at 1.58 children per woman last year. In 2020, the British fertility rate fell by 4.2 per cent from 2019 and was 3.1 per cent lower than the previous low in 2001, according to official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Fertility rates are determined by calculating the average number of children a woman gives birth to in her lifetime. In order to naturally maintain a country’s population, a fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman is thought to […]
By Christopher Burroughs, The Epoch Times via ZeroHedge (emphasis ZH) A judge temporarily blocked an order on Wednesday that required California prison workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Kern County Judge Bernard Barmann issued a temporary restraining order to prevent enforcement of the mandate as the court considers a preliminary injunction request.

The California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) has opposed vaccine mandates across the state. The union represents about 28,000 officers statewide. “Mandating universal vaccination […]
Authored by Andrea Germanos via Common Dreams, The Pentagon said Friday that the U.S. would issue “condolence payments” to relatives of 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, killed in an August drone strike—an attack military officials had initially defended as a “righteous strike” targeting an explosive-laden vehicle destined for militants and later admitted to being a “horrible tragedy” that claimed innocent lives. The statement from Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby followed a Thursday virtual meeting that included Dr. Steven Kwon, president and CEO of Nutrition & Education International (NEI), and Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl. NEI had employed as a technical engineer Zemari Ahmadi, who was killed along […]

Tunisia's Ennahda movement yesterday slammed what it called a "de facto government led by Bouden." In an official statement, the movement said that the formation of the Bouden government was "violating the Tunisian constitutional procedures." "Losing government legitimacy will exacerbate the challenges and obstacles facing the government in dealing with national affairs and international partners," the statement read. Ennahda pointed out that such action would "divide the Tunisian people, fuel conflict and undermine national unity." The statement noted that the movement rejected the "suspension of the constitution and government institutions." The political movement warned of what it described as the "danger […]
A group of 17 Christian missionaries including children was kidnapped late Saturday by an armed gang near Haiti’s Port-au-Prince, a voice message sent to various religious missions by an organization with direct knowledge of the incident has claimed. The religious aid workers were on their way home from building an orphanage when they were snatched off their transportation by an armed gang, according to a message from Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries. “This is a special prayer alert,” the one-minute message said, according to AP. “Pray that the gang members would come to repentance.” The message says the mission’s field director is […]
Basketball fans have reacted with a mix of shock and outrage after reportedly unvaccinated star Bradley Beal played at Madison Square Garden while Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving continues to be frozen out.

(Jourdan Bennett-Begaye, Indian Country Today) Speakers said President Joe Biden was not following through on his promises to act on climate change.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explicitly called out Fox News star Tucker Carlson on Sunday morning, saying he wasn’t “going to apologize” to the conservative host for taking paternity leave to care for his newborn twins. During his Thursday night broadcast, Carlson mockingly took aim at the Biden administration official for taking time off to care for the two babies that he and his husband Chasten recently adopted. “Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child. Paternity leave, they call it, trying to figure out how to breastfeed. No word on how that went,” Carlson […]

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he would not apologize to anyone for going on paternity leave. Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “This is the first time you have been on the show since you and your husband welcomed twins into your family. You just returned from paternity leave, which Congress is debating right now. Some conservatives have been citing your experience in an effort to mock the very idea of paternity leave. Take a listen.” In a video, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson said, “Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since […]
The U.S. Coast Guard has boarded another vessel (the first was on Oct. 7) of interest that potentially dragged its anchor across an offshore pipeline in Southern California that eventually led to an oil spill off Huntington Beach on Oct. 2. Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board investigators boarded container ship MSC DANIT, Saturday, in the Port of Long Beach, as a “party in interest” for a possible “anchor-dragging incident” earlier this year over the underwater pipeline that eventually led to the ruptured pipeline and more than 3,000 barrels of crude washing ashore on California’s pristine beaches. Investigators are examining an anchor-dragging […]

On Friday Biden said of those who attempted to defy subpoenas that he hoped the select committee “goes after them and holds them accountable criminally.” When asked if the Justice Department should aid in that effort, Biden responded: “I do, yes.” The administration quickly sought to clarify Biden’s comments and reassert the independence of DOJ’s decision making, with White House press secretary Jen Psaki also tweeting, in part, that Biden “supports the work of the committee and the independent role of the Department of Justice to make any decisions about prosecutions.” “The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions […]

The deputy secretary at the US Treasury has put Americans on notice that the only way to end the plague of empty shelves around the country is for every resident to be vaccinated. The frank warning came off as a threat to many. Wally Adeyemo, the Biden administration’s second-highest official in the Treasury Department, appeared to publicly blackmail the still-sizable portion of Americans who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 during a Thursday ABC interview, seemingly blaming them for the ongoing shortages of consumer goods that have led many to mock the president as ‘Empty Shelves Joe’. Despite viral photos depicting […]
Haitian security officials told NYT that gang members had kidnaped 17 American missionaries in Port-au-Prince on Saturday.

Over the past few years, several nations in the West have accused Russia, Iran, and China of using social media to sow discord in their societies or influence elections, all while failing to present a shred of evidence to back that up.

On Thursday 7 October, I received a call from the representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) Middle East office seeking more assistance to alleviate the sufferings of Yemeni people who are gripped by the world's worst humanitarian crisis. After six years of an entirely man-made conflict, the UN refugee agency estimates that over 20 million people in Yemen are in need of urgent help. More than 66 per cent of the population depend on humanitarian aid to survive. COVID-19 is just another issue on top of existing crises. It is a mere coincidence that on the same […]

Authored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com, Rising consumer price inflation is not going away. This, of course, is counter to the “transitory” argument made by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell earlier this year. Powell’s cohort, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, recently admitted inflation is not transitory. This admission comes with assurances the Fed will properly manage it. We have some reservations. The effects of rising consumer prices range far and wide. For one, the pinch rising prices put on consumers is extraordinarily disruptive. It acts like a hefty tax…eroding family budgets that are already stretched. In this ongoing stagflation, personal income gains lag […]
