Stocks look very weak.

The overall index is holding up relatively well, but “beneath the surface” a bloodbath is unfolding.

High yield credit breaking down quite badly. As I write this, it is signaling a pullback in the S&P 500 to at least 5,850.

Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, told the “Dialogue Works” podcast on Tuesday that the incoming Trump administration’s position on how to resolve the war in Ukraine is insignificant because it will be Moscow that determines how the war will end.

Ritter said he does not think it is worthwhile to talk about the conversations Keith Kellogg, the retired three-star general tapped by Donald Trump as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, has with Kyiv because “that conversation is irrelevant.”

A proposal submitted by EcoHealth Alliance to DARPA in 2018 codenamed ‘DEFUSE’ outlined plans to release aerosolized immune modulators, chimeric coronavirus spike protein nanoparticles, and/or self-spreading vaccines from the sky with drones.

The DEFUSE proposal largely presents bats as the target subjects of its experiments.

But other sections explicitly state that aerosol delivery systems can be used for “inoculation of animals/humans.”

Some are questioning whether this DEFUSE plan to spray COVID-related substances over humans with drones was carried out and if it represents the true origin of the COVID-19 pandemic or at least an aspect of it.

This drone-origin theory contrasts the popular-level assumption that the pandemic started with a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China.

The U.S. government has a long history of deploying bio- and chemical weapons on its citizens.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Thursday he was ready to meet with President-elect Donald Trump during what CNN described as a “marathon” end-of-the-year press conference in Moscow.

During the presser, Putin discussed topics from his country’s war on Ukraine, the fall of his ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and a second Trump administration.

According to CNN, Putin was asked about his plans to speak to or meet with Trump by Keir Simmons with NBC News. In his reply, Putin indirectly disputed reporting from Bob Woodward that he and Trump had spoken as many as seven times since January 2021 – when Trump left office.

Putin said he was “ready” to meet with Trump.

“You asked what we can offer, or what I can offer to the newly elected President Trump when we meet,” Putin told Simmons. “First of all, I don’t know when we will meet. Because he hasn’t said anything about it. I haven’t spoken to him at all in over four years. Of course, I am ready for this at any time, and I will be ready for a meeting if he wants it.”

 President Joe Biden said on Sunday that all Americans could do better if they aspired to be like the late 39th President, Jimmy Carter, who passed away over the weekend — and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley suggested that Biden might do well to heed his own advice.

 The Taliban in Afghanistan, with a history of detrimental behavior toward women, has now decided all national and foreign nongovernmental groups in Afghanistan that employ women must be shut down.

The CIA has been working with its Taliban connections to use their sleeper cells within the U.S. to launch a terrorist attack that could be blamed on ISIS, according to journalist Lara Logan.

In the aftermath of the Bourbon Street massacre, in which an individual believed to be linked to ISIS plowed through a crowd in a truck in NOLA that left 10 dead and 35 injured, Logan suggested such an attack was not only anticipated, but may have been coordinated by the CIA.

“I learned months ago from multiple US intel sources that the CIA was urging their ‘friends’ in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the US for an attack that would be blamed on ISIS,” Logan wrote on X Wednesday.

“So I am very skeptical — it is too easy to blame ISIS. They do it over & over to hide the fact that powerful people inside American intel agencies are in bed with this nation’s enemies.”

A world-renowned virologist has blown the whistle to warn the public that “bird flu” hysteria is a hoax designed to instill fear in the public as part of an effort to push more “vaccines.”

Dr. Robert Malone, who is credited as one of the inventors of mRNA technology, warns that “bird flu” is a “psychological warfare operation.”

Malone asserts that the recent fearmongering about the virus in the corporate media is merely the groundwork for unleashing medical tyranny.

The eminent biochemist says the current hysteria over bird flu is intended to scare the public into submission.

He warned that bird flu fearmongering is being used to condition the public to accept more pandemic-style restrictions, similar to Covid.

The suspect accused of plowing a vehicle through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 10 and injuring at least 30 on New Year’s Day, is named Shamsud Din Jabbar, according to a law enforcement source, Nola.com reported.
