Elite British special forces were operating on the ground in Ukraine weeks after Russia invaded last year. That is the allegation contained in a new book, Poland at War, by Polish journalist Zbigniew Parafianowicz.

The author is Ukraine correspondent for a daily newspaper in Warsaw and had access to political insiders and senior officials. He quotes an unnamed Polish government minister who claims to have run into British commandos in mid-March 2022 as he was travelling between Kyiv and the city of Zhytomyr.

The minister said: “It was a time when the Russians were still standing in Bucha, and the route was a grey zone. It was possible to run into Russians. We passed the last checkpoint. The Ukrainians told us that we continue at our own risk.

“Well, and who did we meet next? Ukrainian soldiers and… British special forces. Uniformed. With weapons. They moved with the Ukrainians in trucks and off-road vehicles with artillery radars. They were tracking targets. They were learning about this war. Such radar tracks where mortar or rocket shells fall and are fired.”

Black Harvard President Claudine Gay was reportedly the Republicans’ top target in Tuesday’s House hearing on campus antisemitism [ 5 takeaways from college antisemitism hearing , by  Bianca Quilantan, Politico, December 5, 2023]This criticism must have been a rude shock to Gay because she has previously soared comfortably upward on one of the most powerful thermals in modern U.S. life: black privilege in academe. Ever since the Floyd Hoax in 2020, traditionally white colleges and universities have been on a hiring binge of blacks for president or chancellor. Other beneficiaries: Daryll Pines (University of Maryland), Gregory Washington, right, (George Mason), Vincent Rougeau (Holy Cross), Michael Drake (University of California), Dwight McBride (The New School) and William Tate IV (Louisiana State University). Some may be qualified, but we all know that’s not why they were hired. They were hired because they advanced the reigning anti-white regime called “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “equity” properly known as DIE.

GOP mega-donors are appalled that Gov. Ron DeSantis prohibited kindergarten teachers from sharing anal sex cartoons with their students. Must be some kind of fundamentalist nut.

But a candidate who wants to entirely ban a social media app as bad for children? That’s our gal!

Nikki Haley has vowed to shut down TikTok, right after she declares war on the entire world.

In case you are not one of the 150 million Americans on TikTok, it is a China-based video-sharing app, primarily used by teenagers to post short reels of themselves lip-synching, pranking, dancing and creating optical illusions. Also cute animal videos. Also book reviews. #BookTok has multiple billions of views every year.

As U.S. media demand we condemn the rapes of Israeli women during war with Hamas and the Palestinians, white Boomer American women like me remember the same media and shrillest of feminists (Abzug, Steinem, Friedan, etc.) remained silent for decades as millions of foreigners with Stone Age views of females entered the U.S., raping and abusing our “sisters.” Anyone pointing out the obvious surge of brown-on-white rapes over the past 30 years is promptly smeared with “racist,” “xenophobe,” etc. shut-up words.

You would think that killing twice as much civilians than alleged terrorists in a high-tech war against what basically is a defenseless civilian population is not something to brag about.

However, Israel is very proud of its stats when it comes to killing civvies.

The Anti-Defecation League (ADL) has issued a press release demanding the banning of the expression “God’s mercy” from social media. According to the ADL, the notion that God is merciful, and the associated idea that mercy is good, is “a direct attack on Jews and their beliefs.”

The press release explains that while a few Jews still think God is a merciless psychopathic patriarch named Yahweh, the majority don’t believe in God at all, and in mercy even less. They do, however, believe that the God they don’t believe in gave them Palestine to commit genocide in. Since the notion of mercy, especially Divine mercy, implies that they shouldn’t be committing genocide, it is an implicit denial of Israel’s right to exist, and therefore constitutes an anti-Semitic trope.

olitical historian Rick Perlstein tweeted:

So, yeah, Vivek just said the Great Replacement Theory is not a conspiracy theory.

I respond:

You are right, it’s more like the Great Replacement Law than the Great Replacement Theory. It’s an arithmetical tautology that importing Democratic-leaning ethnicities dilutes the voting power of native-born Republican-leaning ethnicities. Democrats are smart enough to know that.

Republicans, on the other hand, might not be smart enough to figure out what the Democrats are doing to them by not restricting immigration more unless somebody makes up a catchy name for them like “Great Replacement.”

All civilization has disintegrated, not just Western civilization. This fact is obvious from the entire world sitting watching, perhaps as entertainment as Romans watched death in the Colosseum, the Genocide of Gaza. The “moral democratic” US government rushes more bombs and money to enable Israel’s genocide of Palestine. European governments call the genocide “Israel’s right of self-defense.” Christian Zionists justify genocide in Christ’s name. In Europe those whose moral conscience drives them to protest are arrested. In “free and democratic” UK waving a Palestinian flag is cause for arrest. The Muslim world does nothing, displaying its total impotence and lack of self-respect. And the Russians and Chinese sit there and allow the US and Israel to remake the Middle East in their interest, a development that will increase the power of evil.

For those of us mindful of the achievements of Western Civilization, as well as its blemishes and crimes, to experience the complete evaporation of moral consciousness in the Western world is devastating. The West is not merely permitting this to happen, the West is openly participating in the evil. For evil is what it is.

Think about this for a moment. The facts are in. Big Pharma’s Covid “vaccines” have a high death rate and a high health injury rate. We know this from a number of official sources, such as Pfizer’s internal documents the release of which was ordered by US federal courts and from the release of the New Zealand data by the official data administrator. We also know it from countless scientific peer reviewed studies that every effort is made to suppress.

It is obvious that if the official data showed that the Covid “vaccine” was not dangerous, the authorities would release it, and it would not have to be leaked by data administrators or ordered released by courts.

Now ask yourselves and your friends what it means that the official health authorities of allegedly accountable democratic governments not only suppress the information but demonize and arrest those, such as New Zealand’s data administrator, who make it public.

Ask yourselves why the media discredits and supports the arrest of those who tell the truth in an attempt to save lives.

A new academic study has made a shocking and highly controversial finding. Suspicious Israeli stock market activity in the days preceding Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 indicates that a particular party had foreknowledge of the impending attack and used that information to directly profit from the panic that ensued.

The paper, authored by Robert J. Jackson Jr. of  New York University School of Law and Joshua Mitts of New York University School of Law, concludes that based on a “significant spike” in short selling of listed Israeli companies, persons unknown were aware of the operation was impending, and sought to profit illicitly. Short selling – or shorting – allows traders to bet a stock will perform poorly and reap rewards if they’re correct.

Shorting is a relatively rare practice compared to traditional trading and with good reason. Losses can be vast if forecast poor performance doesn’t materialize, and many investment advisors warn against engaging in the practice under any circumstances. Strikingly though, the academics found shorting of Israeli companies in days immediately before October 7 “far exceeded short selling that occurred during numerous other periods of crisis, including the recession following the financial crisis, the 2014 Israel-Gaza war, and the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Lawyers instructed by the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR) have today written to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron requesting that he apply Magnitsky sanctions against Israel’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, and Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The letters state that the Israeli ministers should be designated as “involved persons” under the UK’s Global Human Rights Sanctions, or Magnitsky sanctions regime for involvement in serious violations of basic human rights. They demonstrate that Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have been involved in inciting murder and other extreme human rights abuses for over 20 years and this has accelerated since 7 October 2023.

Both ministers lead extreme far-right political parties in Israel and hold senior offices of state. As Minister of Finance and head of the Defence Ministry’s Civil Administration, Bezalel Smotrich is responsible for settlement planning, construction and enforcement against illegal settlements in the West Bank. He has incited violence and actions overseeing the unlawful destruction of civilian property in the West Bank since well before October 2023.

Pistorius noted that it’s not as if Kiev has been receiving arms aid while Russia has gotten nothing. “It’s not the case that we only deliver [weapons] and nothing new comes from Russia for the Russian armed forces,” he said. On the contrary, in spite of sanctions, Russia’s defense sector continues to produce equipment, “even if it’s not the most modern materiel,” in the German defense minister’s estimation.

Admitting that the production of German weapons and ammunition for Ukraine was going slower than planned, Pistorius stressed that the slow delivery was neither a political nor a financial issue, but a problem of limited “peacetime” production capacity which he said takes time to ramp up. Pistorius also reassured that Germany has been and continues to be by far the second largest sponsor of Kiev overall.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova jumped at the German official’s “ally” comment, suggesting Pistorious has “unwrapped a brand new pair of loafers he got last Christmas and ‘changed his shoes,’” a Russian saying meaning "reversing one’s position" or "changing one’s tune."

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen criticized the address of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the UN Security Council demanding to discuss a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. According to Cohen, Guterres’ activity as a Secretary General threatens peace on the planet, and his remarks equal to support of Palestinian radicals from the Hamas movement.

"Guterres’ tenure is a danger to world peace. His request to activate [UN Charter] Article 99 and the call for a cease fire in Gaza constitutes support of the Hamas terrorist organization and an endorsement of the murder of the elderly, the abduction of babies and the rape of women," Cohen claimed on his X page. "Anyone who supports world peace must support the liberation of Gaza from Hamas."

Previously, Guterres stated that a humanitarian ceasefire must be established to make it possible to restore means of survival and to safely and timely deliver humanitarian aid. According to the Secretary General’s office, it was the first time that Guterres sent a letter to the UN Security Council chair, invoking Article 99, which says that the Secretary General may "bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security."

Despite the soaring civilian deaths in Gaza, the Biden administration is not considering using any of the leverage it has over Israel to get the Israeli military to change its tactics, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

US officials say they’re expressing concern privately and claim Israel is listening, but the current campaign in south Gaza, where there are millions of displaced civilians, is no less brutal than Israeli operations in the north.

The US has pointed to Israel allowing more aid trucks to enter Gaza as proof that Israel is listening. But the UN’s top relief official, Martin Griffiths, has said the situation in south Gaza is “apocalyptic” and ending any possibility of meaningful humanitarian operations.

Israel's police has authorized far right Jewish activists to march on the Temple Mount/ Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Thursday evening to demand an end to control by the Waqf, the Islamic endowment which administers the holy site.

The activists are calling to "restore full Jewish control over the Temple Mount and Jerusalem," against Waqf control that has traditionally declared strong opposition to any Jewish religious expression there.

The march, limited to 200 participants, is slated to follow the Flag Parade route through the Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter.

The mount is home of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the location of the Jewish temples in antiquity.

A leading Ukrainian politician said in a November 24 interview that as early as April 2022, Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to…neutrality.”

On June 13, 2022, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia and Ukraine had “reached an agreement in Istanbul” and that the agreement had been initialled by both sides, Davyd Arakhamiia was the Ukrainian official Putin identified: “I don’t remember his name and may be mistaken, but I think Mr. Arakhamia headed Ukraine’s negotiating team in Istanbul. He even initialed this document.”

That a tentative agreement had been reached in Istanbul had already been reported by Fiona Hill and Angela Stent in an August 25, 2022 article in Foreign Affairs. In his recent interview, Arakhamiia, who is the head of Zelensky’s Servant of the People Party and who led the Ukrainian negotiating team in both Belarus and Istanbul, denies that the agreement was initialed. But he confirms that Russia was prepared to abort the war in exchange for a promise that Ukraine would not enter NATO.

According to Arakhamiia, an assurance that Ukraine would not join NATIO was the “key point” for Russia: “Everything else was simply rhetoric and political ‘seasoning.’”

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Wednesday that Hezbollah must be pushed back from the Israeli border, and if it’s not achieved through diplomatic means, Israel will take military action.

The comments suggest Israel is considering opening a second front in Lebanon beyond the cross-border strikes Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging since October 7.

According to a recent report from Axios, some US officials are concerned that Israel might provoke Hezbollah to justify a wider war in Lebanon. The report said that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had “expressed concern” in a phone call with Gallant in November about the risk of escalation on Israel’s northern border.

Founded by a serial rapist known as the “Haredi Jeffrey Epstein,” Israeli ultra-Orthodox rescue group ZAKA is responsible for some of the most obscene post-October 7 atrocity fabrications, from beheaded babies to “mass rape” to a fetus cut from its mother.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken and President Joseph Biden have each echoed demonstrably false ZAKA testimonies about Hamas atrocities.

Marred by allegations of financial fraud, ZAKA is leveraging October 7 publicity to raise unprecedented sums of cash.

Its rival, United Hatzalah, has spun out bogus tales of babies baked in ovens as it closes in on a $50 million fundraising goal.

VIX is below 13 again. QQQ has been basically flat for nearly a month.

Israeli air strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip killed dozens of Palestinians and wounded many others overnight and on Wednesday morning.

The attack on the residential area has reduced several housing blocks to rubble, including the family home of Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Moemen al-Sharifi.

Sharifi's mother, father and siblings were killed in the attack, in addition to 21 members of his extended family, including nieces and nephews.

Sharifi told Al Jazeera that an explosive barrel had hit the house, leaving a deep hole in the structure.

As the United States Dollar collapses into worthlessness, JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon is testifying in front of Congress about how he’d ban crypto if he were in charge of the government.

Of course he would. That’s because cryptos are interfering with the banker monopoly on creating money out of thin air on computers. They don’t want the competition. It has especially become problematic as Bitcoin is being used more and more as an alternative currency system.

His claim that cryptos are only used for criminal purposes is ridiculous considering the amount of criminality that exists inside the banking system. These banks literally create money out of nothing and charge people interest on the money they created. Their entire business is literal fraud.

Israel on Wednesday announced its decision to revoke the residence visa of United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator Lynn Hastings on Wednesday.

“Someone who did not condemn Hamas for the brutal massacre of 1,200 Israelis … but instead condemns Israel, a democratic country that protects its citizens, cannot serve in the UN and cannot enter Israel!” wrote Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen on X.

But the incident is only the latest in a series of instances of Israel clashing with the UN over the war in Gaza in ways that are uncommon for member states of the global body.

Webmaster addition: Israel's membership at the UN is unique in that it had two conditions. The first was a Palestinian right of return to their homes, and second, that Israel would compensate Palestinians for their homes if they did not return. Israel has never complied with either condition, and, protected by the US, has continued to openly defy the UN ever since.

Over the weekend, border-policy negotiations between Senate Democrats and Republicans fell apart. The talks were meant to firm up Republican support for the president’s massive $105 billion military support proposal ahead of Wednesday’s vote by including additional funds for border security in the spending package. Now, with no imminent approval of further aid to Ukraine, hawks in government and the media are trying to stoke panic about what will happen if Kyiv is cut off from US support.

In a letter to Congress Monday, White House budget director Shalanda Young told Congress the funds will dry up by the end of the year:

I want to be clear: without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from U.S. military stocks. There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money—and nearly out of time.

The House will consider a short-term extension of the nation’s warrantless surveillance powers as part of the defense policy bill, House intelligence leaders confirmed Wednesday.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include a provision to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) into mid-April — dodging its end of the year expiration as Congress battles over four competing plans to reauthorize and reform the law.

“Obviously the House has been in chaos and our legislative business has been disrupted. So I think it’s an appropriate extension that gives us the ability to address 702. By extending it, we avoid the calamity,” caused by a lapse of an important national security tool, Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was under pressure by some in the GOP to only consider Section 702 reauthorization as a standalone bill, arguing the risk to Americans who may see their communication swept up if they communicate with those being surveilled by the government requires careful vetting.
