Urgent Prayer Need: COVID Shot Mandate Lawsuit!
Father God, please work justice through the Supreme Court on behalf of service members who were forced to submit to the COVID shot mandate.
January 4, 2024 – The battle about Covid shot mandates continues.
Tomorrow, Friday, January 5, 2023, the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear a critical case about the federal mandates that required military members to take the shot (an experimental drug) to remain in service.
The case is being brought forth for consideration by Justice Clarence Thomas. Tomorrow he will present the case to the other Justices to see if they will vote to add the case to the next session of the Court. It is called Dan Robert, et al., Petitioners v. Lloyd J. Austin III, Secretary of Defense, et al.
Army Surgeon Lt. Col. Theresa Long has been the advocate and point person to stand up about the impact and injustice of the mandate as she saw the results in her patients. We have been praying for her as she has spoken up about the effects of the shot on Army pilots, among other concerns. She reached out to IFA for prayer on this case.
Please PRAY about this case, that it would be heard by the Supreme Court this next session. And POST YOUR PRAYER in the comments so Lt. Col. Long and her colleagues can be encouraged and strengthened in their efforts to right this wrong.
The Digital ID Rollout Is Becoming a Hacker’s Dream By Didi Rankovic
A major privacy and security issue.
January 4, 2024v – Governments and corporations around the world are showing great enthusiasm in either already implementing, or planning to implement some form of digital IDs.
As it turns out ironically, these efforts are presented to citizens as not only making their lives easier through convenience, but also making sure their personal data contained within these digital IDs is safer in a world teeming with malicious actors.
Opponents have been warning about serious privacy implications, but also argue against the claim that data security actually gets improved.
It would appear they are right – at least according to a report by a cybersecurity firm issued after the hacker attacks happening around the Christmas holiday, something that’s now been dubbed “Leaksmas.”
Not only governments, but hackers as well love digital IDs and huge amounts of personal information all neatly gathered in one place, and, judging by what’s been happening recently, in many instances, sitting there pretty much easily available to them.
And hackers have expressed this love by making digital ID data their primary focus, the firm, Resecurity, said in its report. Resecurity claims that this is a clear fact, and that it was able to discern it by analyzing data dumps once they started appearing on the dark web after the Christmas-time “digital smash-and-grabs.”
In numbers, a staggering 50 million records containing personally identifiable information have surfaced on the dark web. The reason so many stolen datasets have made it to the black digital market all at once appear to be “technicalities” related to the time window during which most of it will be “sellable”.
Breaking down that 50 million number, Resecurity said that 22 million records were stolen from a telecommunications company in Peru, which include what’s known there as DNIs – national IDs.
According to reports, it is hard to overestimate how devastating this event could be, if the DNIs end up in the wrong hands. It is the sole ID document recognized by the authorities in Peru for a range of things fundamental to people’s everyday life: “judicial, administrative, commercial and civil transactions,” as one article put it.
After Peru, other countries most affected are the Philippines, the US, France, and Vietnam.
Harvard’s interim president is a Bill Gates flunky who has received over $7 million from Big Pharma JORDAN SCHACHTEL
Alan Garber, a longtime fanboy of Bill Gates, imposed ruthless Covid mandates upon students and faculty at Harvard.
JAN 4, 2024–Following the high profile resignation of serial plagiarist Claudine Gay, Harvard has announced that Alan Garber, the school’s longtime provost, will step in as interim president.
So who is Alan Garber?
A college classmate and longtime admirer of Bill Gates, Dr Garber has made a killing through his appointments on the boards of pharmaceutical companies. During the Covid era, he was best known for his fear mongering proclamations, and his successful lobbying for government spending to the tune of trillions of dollars to “combat the virus.”
The Boston Globe describes the academic physician as a man who “helped guide the school through the COVID-19 pandemic,” but that “guidance” doesn’t seem so independent, to put it mildly.
Using the CMS Open Payments database, The Dossier has discovered that Garber has received a stunning $6.7 million from pharmaceutical companies from 2016-2022.
Biden Roasted for Straight-Faced Claim GOP Needs to Give Him Money to Protect Border By Allison Anton, The Western Journal
Jan. 4, 2024 3:40 pm – After years of trashing former President Donald Trump’s border wall project and deriding Trump as a racist for even suggesting the idea, President Joe Biden now has the audacity to claim he needs the GOP to give him money in order to finish that long abandoned project.
In a video first shared by the Associated Press, Biden was shuffling from Marine One to the White House when a reporter asked him what he planned to do about the “record number of migrants” crossing the border.
Biden then has the temerity to respond “We’ve got to do something. They ought to give me the money I need to protect the border.”
Now, at this point we’ve grown accustomed to Biden spouting lies, half-truths, and just plain gibberish anytime his handlers let him open his mouth, but this is a whopper even by his standards.
Immediately, people on the right were calling him out; while, predictably, those on the left were running cover for him, making him sound like he knows what he’s talking about — for once.
CNN implied that Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans are “throw[ing] cold water” on the border budget talks, thereby directly contributing to the illegal immigration problem, while United Press International repeated the claim that the GOP are the ones responsible for the delay.
According to White House spokesman Andrew Bates, “Actions speak louder than words. House Republicans’ anti-border security record is defined by attempting to cut Customs and Border Protection personnel, opposing President Biden’s record-breaking border security funding, and refusing to take up the president’s supplemental funding request.”
Of course, those on the right were not having this nonsense. As Fox News writer Miranda Devine pointed out, Biden doesn’t need money to “protect the border,” but to “pay for more lawyers to lie for the illegal migrants posing as asylum seekers. It’s to pay for more NGOs to continue the cartel’s human trafficking work around the country. It’s to pay for more ‘humanitarian’ aid at the border, and more money wasted on ‘root cause’ boondoggles. Anything but secure the border.”
“It doesn’t take more money to do that. Just the political will. He can close it tomorrow if he wants. He has enough new Biden voters now anyway,” she concluded.
Mayorkas Says Millions of Military-Age Men Have Invaded Southern Border on Biden’s Watch Because of Climate Change (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Jan. 4, 2024 4:40 pm – DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday said millions of military-age men have invaded the southern border on Joe Biden’s watch because of climate change.
More than 300,000 illegal aliens crossed over the US border on Biden’s open border invitation in December, according to Customs and Border Protection.
More than 11 million illegals – mainly military-age males – have invaded the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

‘Constitutional Carry’ Law Adopted, Gun Crimes Go Down by Bob Unruh
Trend noted in 6 of 8 large cities
Jan. 4, 2024 5:00 pm – A new study shows that after a constitutional carry law was implemented in Ohio, gun crimes dropped in six of the eight largest cities.
A report from the Ohio Star cited the work on the study by the Center for Justice Research, a project of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Bowling Green State University.
A little over a year ago, Ohio became the 23rd state to allow residents to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, and the study looked at what followed.
The cities reviewed included Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Parma, and Canton.
Researchers looked at information about crimes involving firearms and such, the report said, with the gun crime falling by 22% in Parma. It was down 18% in Akron and Toledo, 6% in Cleveland, 11% in Columbus. It was down marginally in Canton.
In Dayton, the reports were up 6% and in Cincinnati, 5%.
ISIS claims responsibility for blast at Soleimani grave site in Iran that killed 84 By Charlotte Hazard
This is the deadliest attack in Iran since the Iranian revolution.
January 4, 2024 11:56am – ISIS on Thursday claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Iran at a memorial for slain Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani.
The attack left dozens dead and hundreds injured, the terror monitoring group SITE reports.
CNN reports that 84 people are dead and 284 injured.
This is the deadliest attack in Iran since the Iranian revolution.
Iranian President Ebhrahim Raisi said Israel is responsible for the explosions and warned the country would pay a “heavy price.”
The Israeli Defense Forces told CNN it had “no comment” on the matter.
“It does look like a terrorist attack, the type of thing we’ve seen ISIS do in the past. And as far as we’re aware, that’s kind of I think our going assumption at the moment,” a U.S. official told the outlet.
Investigator and Attorney Mike Cernovich: Jeffrey Epstein Was an Asset of the FBI By Jim Hoft
Jan. 4, 2024 8:00 am – On Wednesday, Judge Loretta Preska confirmed the release of the initial names from Jeffrey Epstein’s extensive client list, comprising over 150 individuals. Concurrently, a collection of previously sealed documents was made public.
Following the release, the Court Listener website experienced a crash due to the overwhelming public interest.
** The Gateway Pundit posted the collection of files released by the New York judge here.
However, The Gateway Pundit managed to secure a backup of this crucial information.
Three individuals, known in the court documents as Doe 105, Doe 107, and Doe 110, have made appeals. Documents related to Does 105, 107, and 110-110 are being withheld.
Following the release, attorney, filmmaker and author, Mike Cernovich went on Twitter-X to discuss what was missing in the document dump.
Mike Cernovich was one of the early investigators who filed lawsuits for the release of the Epstein files.
For the record, The Gateway Pundit ALSO filed a lawsuit for the release of the Epstein files.
… Evidence from Jeffrey Epstein’s safe ‘went missing’ after FBI raid.
What was in the safe? We’ll never know for certain. We do know that the FBI has Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail files.
The real Jeffrey Epstein files are the blackmail material.
Very powerful forces have made sure we will never see it.

BIDEN’S INVASION: Record Breaking 300,000 Migrant Encounters at Southern Border in December, Highest Single Month Ever Recorded, By Pamela Geller
January 3, 2024 – (The Center Square) – More than 10 million people have been reported illegally entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the greatest number in history and of any administration.
They total more than the individual populations of 41 states.
The number of people illegally entering the country surged after Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas halted many preexisting border security policies, advanced sweeping parole and other policies to release the greatest number of illegal foreign nationals into the country, encouraged people from all over the world to use a phone app to enter the U.S., and facilitated U.S. entry application processes in foreign countries, among others.

“The Democrat Party is Done in Chicago and That’s a Fact” – Black Chicagoans Vow to Flip Chicago Red for 2024 Election Over Migrant Crisis – Want to Meet with Trump (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Jan. 3, 2024 5:00 pm – Recently the African Diaspora News Channel (ADNC) spoke to Mark Carter who is begging Republican leaders to visit inner city Chicago and witness the burgeoning migrant crisis that is sucking resources away from native Chicagoans who are suffering under Joe Biden’s policies.
Mark Carter believes 2024 is the time for Republicans and Trump to flip Chicago red.
ADNC Reporter: Within the last couple of weeks or months, we’ve been hearing a lot from the black residents of Chicago and specifically that of Mark Carter, who has been very instrumental in speaking out against the migrants going into Chicago and taking up all the resources, right, resources away from the black community. Now, recently, I did a video about him and others saying that they want to have a conversation with Trump. They invited the Republicans to go and speak with them. Now, this video I’m about to show you, it was actually three black gentlemen on there. But Mark Carter, I’m going to show you his segment. Know, he and the other men were at a homeless encampment. They were talking about the issues that black Chicagoans are facing, of course, homelessness and all of that. And they’re basically saying, we are paying to be homeless because a lot of know people pay taxes, right? And so you’re paying taxes, but the money is not going to help you. It’s actually going to help other people or helping other people that are going into Chicago. It is said that by the end of this year, not more, it’s going to be about $300 million allocated toward helping the migrants in Chicago alone.
Mark Carter: American citizens, American children who are already struggling academically. You’re going to bring in a new group of children, a new group of people, take those resources away from Americans to accommodate this new group of people. The children are going to fall further behind. Unemployment is going through the roof. Poverty, crime, this is going to impact our communities across this city to the point to where violence, murder, robbery is going to spike not just with Americans, but also with these people coming here. 3,000 illegal immigrants are living in this factory almost a half a block long. And this is going to transcend into public housing. They keep saying that there will be no public housing for illegal immigrants. That’s not true. So we pay to be homeless basically. Now as United States citizens, we’re going to flip Chicago Red. The Democratic Party is done in Chicago, and that’s a fact. By summer, you think it’s a lot of them coming in, you watch the uprising of red.
ADNC reporter: …They’re demanding more money to help the migrants, but they’re not demanding more money to help American citizens and specifically black people. And so I agree with Mr. Carter. Yeah, it needs to be one and done, or 52,000 and done because black people, we always vote for the Democrats, but it just needs to be no more. The Democrats do not deserve our vote at all.

New Year’s Raid: Russians Detain 3,000 Migrants in Saint Petersburg – Hundreds Are Illegals, Face Deportation – Several Given Military Summonses To the War By Paul Serran
Jan. 3, 2024 8:30 am – Unchecked mass migration is slowly destroying many Western European cultures, but the phenomenon is not limited to their societies.
Even heavily sanctioned, wartime Russia is feeling the effects, as President Vladimir Putin has stated back in December that Russia has more than 10 million labor migrants.
‘This is not an easy problem,’ Putin said during his annual press conference.
However, when it comes to the reaction to the problem, that’s where the similarities end.
Russia’s police are reported to have detained thousands of migrants across the country in New Year’s Eve raids – with scores of them facing deportation, and some even conscription into the war – Russian media reported on Monday.
Vladimir Putin, Speaking to Wounded Soldiers, Sends the U.S. and NATO a Tough Message By Larry Johnson
Jan. 3, 2024 7:00 am – Vladimir Putin showed up at Branch No 2 of the National Medical Research Centre of High Medical Technologies – Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital of the Russian Federation Defence Ministry this week and sat down for a chat with Russian military personnel who had been wounded during the special military operation. Can you imagine Joe Biden doing this with a group of American military personnel? I can’t.
I am posting this because I think it is important that people, especially Americans, have the opportunity to read Putin’s comments. If you are wondering how Putin views the United States, NATO and Ukraine, you need only read the following. There is no nuance. Putin is refreshingly candid.
His concern for the welfare of the soldiers comes across as genuine, sincere. But that is not the news. He makes it very clear that the Western countries are the enemy, not Ukraine. He also vowed to step up attacks on Ukrainian military targets and foreign mercenaries. Putin minces no words in noting that Western hopes of bamboozling him into negotiations for a ceasefire are in vain. Ain’t going to happen.

Russians Pummel Kiev and Kharkov in Another Massive Air Raid, as Ukraine Prepares for Hellish Winter By Paul Serran
Jan. 2, 2024 8:20 pm – The new year has come for Ukraine bringing relentless air raids by Russia, slowly decimating air defense systems, as well as other industrial and military targets.
On Tuesday (2), Russia heavily pounded Ukraine’s two biggest cities in a wave of air strikes, prompting calls for the West to quickly provide more military assistance to Kiev.
Reuters reported:
“The missile and drone attacks on the capital Kyiv and the northeastern city of Kharkov also wounded dozens of people, caused widespread damage, and hit power supplies, officials said.
Russia has intensified its attacks over the New Year period, with President Vladimir Putin warning on Monday that a Ukrainian air strike on the Russian city of Belgorod, which Moscow said killed 25 civilians, would ‘not go unpunished’.”
[…] Russia stepped up missile and drone strikes on Dec. 29, when it launched its largest air attack of the war, killing at least 39 people. Kyiv had warned for weeks that Russia appeared to be stockpiling missiles for big attacks.”

Hamas’ Recent Battle Cry for Violence against U.S. Latest in Litany of Threats by Benjamin Weinthal
December 30, 2023 – The Hamas movement intensified its campaign of terrorism targeting American interests, declaring in a chilling December announcement that more violence is warranted against the U.S. after the jihadi group murdered over 30 Americans and over a thousand Israelis on the October 7 massacre in Israel.
Earlier this month Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesperson warned, “When Blinken is justifying the killing of women and children, the sons of our nation should say to him: ‘You are the enemy, just like Netanyahu, and you must pay the price, just like Netanyahu.’ . . . We need violent acts against American and British interests everywhere, as well as the interests of all the countries that support the occupation.”
The Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) first located and translated Abu Zuhri’s call for terrorism against American and British interests across the globe.
Earlier this month, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warned about threats to public safety due to the war between Hamas and Israel. Hamas was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. in 1997.
When asked about the new Hamas threat, a spokesperson for the State Department told Fox News Digital, “We have been clear about our position on Hamas, which the United States designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997 due to its premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets. As Hamas clearly demonstrated on October 7, they are committed to terrorism. And Hamas has only compounded and perpetuated the suffering of the Palestinian people at every step of this crisis.“
[Ed.: Nevertheless, despite the fact that FBI and DHS know this, they usher them in and hand them $5000 prepaid debit cards! This assures that these monsters will get to any one of the over 37 well established camps that have been spread out throughout the US over the past 20 years. Our government is using them to destroy our country. But they are just pawns in the game, bit actors in a larger screen play.]
Harvard Pres. Claudine Gay to resign after antisemitism, plagiarism controversies Israel National News
Claudine Gay becomes the shortest-serving president in Havard history after refusing to condemn calls for genocide against Jews, plagiarism.
Jan 2, 2024, 8:15 PM (GMT+2) – Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign today (Tuesday) following months of controversy surrounding antisemitism and plagiarism scandals, the student newspaper the Harvard Crimson reported.
Gay assumed her position as president of America’s most prestigious university just six months ago. Her resignation makes her the shortest-serving president in Harvard history.
At a congressional hearing on the phenomenon of antisemitism on college campuses, Gay, together with several other university presidents, danced around a question from Rep. Elise Stefanik on whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” is against the universities’ respective codes of conduct, saying that such a determination depended on the “context.” She later apologized for her statements at the hearing.
Gay’s performance at the hearing and refusal to condemn calls for genocide against Jews led to widespread calls for her resignation. These calls grew as she also became mired in a controversy over allegations of numerous instances of plagiarism in several of her articles.
Bill Clinton’s Office Responds to Report Former Prez to be Named “Doe 36” in Epstein Document Dump By Cristina Laila
Jan. 1, 2024 9:20 pm – Bill Clinton’s office responded to reports the former president will be named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents set to be unsealed this coming week.
“Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names — including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton — are expected to appear in the documents.” ABC News reported.
According to ABC News, Bill Clinton is named as “Doe 36” in “more than fifty redacted filings.”
“Former President Clinton, who ABC News has learned is identified as “Doe 36,” is mentioned in more than fifty of the redacted filings, according to court records. Several of those sealed or redacted entries are focused on an effort by Giuffre’s lawyers in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.” the outlet reported.
“Clinton’s office did not issue a new response to the documents’ unsealing and directed the Washington Examiner back to a 2019 statement regarding his relationship with Epstein from Clinton spokesman Angel Urena.” The Washington Examiner reported.

Powder Keg Europe: Dutch Army Commander Urges Preparation for War With Russia, as Netherlands Get Ready To Send F-16 Fighters to Ukraine By Paul Serran
Jan. 1, 2024 5:20 pm – Times are good for fear mongering in Europe, it seems. As the ‘old continent’ is overrun with unchecked mass migration, civilian and military leaders noticeably change subject, bang the drums of war and warn of war with Russia.
The outgoing commander of the Dutch army, for one, decided to ‘go out with a bang’, as he called on the Netherlands to become better prepared for a potential future war with Russia.
Newsweek reported:
“‘The Netherlands should be seriously afraid of war, and our society should prepare for it… Russia is getting stronger’ Lieutenant General Martin Wijnen, commander of the Royal Netherlands Army, said in an interview with the newspaper De Telegraaf.
The Netherlands, one of the founding members of NATO, has been a strong ally of Ukraine in the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022. Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, announced last week that his country will soon deliver 18 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Putin’s forces.”
Wijnen is stepping down from his role as the top general for the Dutch army today (January 1). He called for the Netherlands to follow the example of preparation from Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states.
“‘The Netherlands should not think our safety is guaranteed because we are 1,500 kilometers away [from Russians]’, Wijnen said.”
[…] ‘There is only one language that Russia understands, and that is one of a strong military’, Wijnen said. ‘The Netherlands must learn again that all members of society must be ready when things go wrong’.”
It’s unclear how this plea by the outgoing military leader will play, since the Globalist Mark Rutte coalition was destroyed in the polls by the right wing, led by Geert Wilders, one of the men that the left loves to hate, almost as much as Putin.
Wijnen joins the ever-growing chorus of concerned voices calling for preparedness and mobilization to tackle the future Russian threat.
As the West pushes the NATO eastward expansion right into Russia’s borders, they simultaneously ‘cry wolf’ because the giant from the East finally woke up and fought back.
Peter Sweden: IT’S SPREADING – Massive Farmers Protest in Germany (Video) By Peter Imanuelsen
Farmers with 850 tractors demonstrated against increased fuel prices.
Jan. 1, 2024 5:00 pm – You might have heard about the farmers protest in the Netherlands. Farmers have been protesting against government plans to essentially SEIZE 3000 farms in order to meet 2030 climate goals.
Earlier this year I traveled to report on the farmers protest in the Netherlands. Some 10 000 people turned out. One of the speakers supporting the farmers was none other than Geert Wilders. He recently won the election in the country.
Read the TRUTH about the Dutch farmers protest in my previous article here:
But there’s more!
Now farmers in Germany are protesting, and it’s barely being reported on the news. I couldn’t find any international mainstream media reporting on this story. By being subscribed to my Substack you are now one of the few people in the English speaking world that is informed on this story!
Farmers will no longer get tax breaks for diesel and they won’t get an exemption from car tax for farming vehicles under the new plans.
They say that these new measures will help protect the climate…
Great idea. Let’s make farming much more expensive, thus making food more expensive in the name of climate change!
Farmers are not happy about this, so they have been protesting. Last month some 40 000 farmers blocked the streets of Berlin with an estimated 8 600 tractors – A 10 kilometre long convoy.

Dec. 31, 2023 9:40 pm – A pro-Hamas rally held at Columbus Circle in New York City Sunday featured a chant in support of Yemen-based Houthi terrorists who are waging war on Red Sea shipping in support of Hamas. Video of the rally shows a woman dressed in terrorist garb leading a crowd of several hundred also dressed in terrorist garb and waving Palestinian flags in a chant of, “Yemen, Yemen, makes us proud! Turn another ship around!”
The Houthis have been launching missiles at merchant ships, boarding ships and attacking U.S. forces. This weekend saw the Houthis attack U.S. Navy ships and helicopters with missiles from land and arms from small boats, respectively, in separate incidents as the U.S. intervened to protect merchant a ship under repeated attack by the Houthis. The missiles were shot down and three of the four attacking boats were sunk by the U.S., killing a reported ten Houthi terrorists.

Biden Panders to His Far-Left Base, Hangs Up On Netanyahu ROBERT SPENCER
DECEMBER 30, 2023 – As 2024 fast approaches, Old Joe Biden is facing some serious obstacles to keep on pretending to be president until he is older than nearly three-quarters of our presidents were when they died. One of the most serious of these is that his far-left base, having been thoroughly miseducated to hate America and all that it stands for, also hates one of its staunchest allies, Israel, and is outraged that the Biden regime appears to be standing by the Jewish state. But Rashida Tlaib and her pals need not be concerned: in a bid to keep these Marxists in line and pulling the Biden lever, Old Joe just made a big push to keep their support.
The Daily Caller reported Saturday that the addled and aging corruptocrat “reportedly hung up on Prime Minister Netanyahu after a heated phone call about the Palestinian tax revenue dispute.” News of this latest embarrassment comes from “two U.S. and Israeli officials and a source with knowledge of the issue.” No one seems to be saying that Old Joe, in the fog of his galloping dementia, mistook Netanyahu for an annoyingly persistent telemarketer, so apparently the hang-up was entirely intentional.
The dispute revolves around the fact that “amid the Israel-Hamas war, the Israeli government has refused to release some tax revenues it collects for the Palestinian Authority that it says would go to the terrorist group Hamas.”
It’s understandable that such hesitation would anger Old Joe. After all, the Biden regime has never hesitated to shovel money to the Palestinians, without any regard for the possibility that it could end up in the hands of Hamas. The alleged president demonstrated, for anyone who was paying attention, which side he is really on when he went over to Israel in late October and met with Netanyahu. He took the opportunity to announce that he was giving $100 million to Gaza, which meant, regardless of his warnings that Hamas better not grab the money, that it would end up in Hamas’ coffers. There was no entity in Gaza that was not controlled by Hamas and that could both receive this money and keep it out of the hands of the terror group.

BREAKING: Bill Clinton to be Named as “Doe 36” in Epstein Court Documents By Cristina Laila
Dec. 31, 2023 12:40 pm – Former president Bill Clinton will be named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents set to be unsealed this coming week.
Bill Clinton was good friends with Epstein and traveled on his private jet dubbed ‘Lolita Express’ over two dozen times and according to pilot logs, underage teenagers were on the flights with Clinton.
Earlier this month, it was reported that dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they may be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who previously called for all material related to him to be made public, was the only John Doe identified by name before ABC’s report on Bill Clinton.
Judge Loretta Preska, however, stayed her order, which gives attorneys representing the “Does” time to convince the court to keep names under seal, so it is unclear if the public will ever see the full Epstein client list.
“Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names — including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton — are expected to appear in the documents.” ABC News reported.
According to ABC News, Bill Clinton is named as “Doe 36” in “more than fifty redacted filings.”
“Former President Clinton, who ABC News has learned is identified as “Doe 36,” is mentioned in more than fifty of the redacted filings, according to court records. Several of those sealed or redacted entries are focused on an effort by Giuffre’s lawyers in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.” the outlet reported.
A witness alleged she saw Bill Clinton and “2 young girls” on Epstein’s pedophile island in the Caribbean; however, Clinton’s spokesman denied the claims.
[Ed.: Surely President Clinton had nothing to do with Epstein’s “suicide”!]
REVEALED: Eyewitness testimony to acts of rape by Hamas terrorists from the October 7th massacre.
What Hamas Did to the Girls and Women in Gaza BY HUGH FITZGERALD
DEC 30, 2023 2:00 PM – The full horror of what happened to them is now coming out. It is just what you expected. What is unexpected is that it was The New York Times, so often unfair to Israel, that published this detailed account. More on the rapes, tortures, and murders of Israeli girls and women on October can be found here: “In harrowing detail, NYT reports on weaponization of rape, sexual violence on Oct. 7,” Times of Israel, December 29, 2023:
In a comprehensive, horrifying exposé published on Thursday [Dec. 28], The New York Times detailed the systematic sexual violence against Israeli women and girls employed by Palestinian terrorists during Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 rampage through southern Israel.
The two-month investigation includes interviews with more than 150 witnesses, medical personnel, first responders, soldiers, rape counselors, and government officials, along with the scanning of video footage, photographs and GPS data from cell phones.
The piece begins with the description of a harrowing video that circulated widely in the days after Hamas’s monstrous assault on southern Israel that Saturday morning. The footage, filmed in the early hours of October 8, shows the partially charred remains of a woman whose face is burned beyond recognition, and who is naked from the waist down, legs spread, her black dress hiked up. Her body is lying beside a car that was set alight on Route 232, which runs parallel to the Gaza Strip, where many people trying to flee the outdoor Supernova festival near Kibbutz Re’im were massacred by Hamas terrorists. Some 360 of the 1,200 people slaughtered that day were from the rave.
[Ed.: How could these men have done these things? It’s really very simple: Moslem men have a unique type of misogyny stemming from a deep-seeded gynophobia. They are so threatened by women, that they subordinate them to the level of chattel. This is why little girls are so much less threatening! Even Mohammad himself married 9-year old Aisha, so it’s okay for grown men to take little girls. The men then aspire to attain their 72 virgins if they can manage to die for Allah while killing non-believers. Their Koran teaches them that non-moslem women are to be raped and murdered (either one can come first). This is how Islam provides a pressure-release valve for their male inferiority complex. It’s a very evil and sick ‘religion‘. Okay, you may go vomit now…]
At least 140 Christians killed in Nigeria Christmas massacre Israel National News
Muslim shepherds accused of carrying out 3-day massacre in over 20 Christian villages in Nigeria’s Plateau state.
Dec 31, 2023, 7:29 AM (GMT+2) – At least 140 people have been killed and 300 injured in what has been described as a massacre against Christians in the African country of Nigeria over the Christmas weekend, Amnesty International confirmed.
The killings occurred in about 20 villages and communities in the Plateau state of north-central Nigeria between December 23-25. [Emphasis added]
According to some local reports, the death toll may be as high as 200. Plateau Governor Caleb Mutfwang called the attacks “Senseless and unprovoked.”
“I am yet to take stock of [the deaths in] Barkin Ladi,” Mutfwan said, “It has been a very terrifying Christmas for us here in Plateau.”
The attacks appear to be part of a longstanding conflict between Fulani Muslim herdsmen and Christian farming communities. The herdsmen accuse the farmers of taking over their grazing land and began raiding farming villages in 2014. Thousands of people have been killed in the conflict over the last decade.
Residents have reported that security forces took at least 12 hours to respond to calls for help.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu instructed the country’s security agencies to “scour every stretch of the zone and apprehend the culprits.”
The French government on Tuesday condemned the attacks against the Christian farmers “in the strongest possible terms.”
“France calls for the perpetrators of these attacks to be identified and brought to justice, and assures the Nigerian authorities of its full solidarity.”
Some called out the silence of the international community in the face of a large-scale massacre of Christians over the Christmas holiday.
“There was yet another Christmas massacre of Christians in Nigeria yesterday. The world is — silent. Just unbelievable,” wrote leading evangelist the Rev. Johnnie Moore on X(formerly Twitter).

‘Israel committing genocide’: Muslim organization welcomes ICJ action against Israel Israel National News
Organization of Islamic Cooperation welcomes South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel, urges swift action.
Dec 31, 2023, 4:43 AM (GMT+2) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Saturday welcomed South Africa’s action of filing a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for committing “genocide” in Gaza.
In a statement quoted by the Qatar News Agency, OIC claimed that “Israel, the occupying power, is committing a genocide by its indiscriminate targeting of civilian population, killing and injuring tens of thousands of Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, forcibly displacing them, preventing them from obtaining basic needs and humanitarian aid, and destroying buildings and health, educational, and religious institutions.”
The organization called on the ICJ “to respond swiftly and take urgent measures to put an end to the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied Palestinian territory.”
South Africa on Friday asked the ICJ to issue urgent order declaring that Israel was in breach of its obligations under the Genocide Convention in its ongoing crackdown against Hamas in Gaza.
In a statement from South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), said, “Israel, since 7 October 2023 in particular, has failed to prevent genocide and has failed to prosecute the direct and public incitement to genocide.”
It said it had requested that the ICJ declare “on an urgent basis that Israel is in breach of its obligations in terms of the Genocide Convention, should immediately cease all acts and measures in breach of those obligations and take a number of related actions.”
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in response that Israel “rejects with disgust the blood libel spread by South Africa in its application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).”
“South Africa’s claim lacks both a factual and a legal basis, and constitutes a despicable and contemptuous exploitation of the Court. South Africa is cooperating with a terrorist organization that is calling for the destruction of the State of Israel,” the Foreign Ministry said.
Anti-Israel sentiments remain prevalent in South Africa, where the government has frequently accused Israel of applying a policy of “apartheid” towards Palestinian Arabs. The tensions have been on the rise since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
The South African government announced last month it was recalling its ambassador and entire diplomatic mission from Israel in protest against Israel’s attempts to defend itself from the Hamas terrorist organization following the October 7 massacre.

Later, South Africa called in Israeli Ambassador Eliav Belotsercovsky for a formal reprimand, citing “public comments” he had made.
In late November, a majority of South African lawmakers voted in favor of a motion calling for the closure of the Israeli embassy and the cutting of diplomatic ties until Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls for Reparations as a Way to Reduce Violent Crime (VIDEO) By Mike Lachance
Dec. 30, 2023 10:20 pm – Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for reparations as a way to reduce violent crime. Is he suggesting that only black people commit violent crimes? It’s a good thing he isn’t a Republican or some people might say that he was a racist for saying that.
This raises other obvious questions. Is Brandon suggesting that we should pay criminals to not commit crimes? None of it makes sense.
Also, isn’t the city going broke due to the influx of illegal border crossers. Johnson just tapped millions in COVID funds to deal with that problem.

‘Dark Money Nightmare’: How Qatar Bought the Ivy League by Robert Williams
December 31, 2023 at 5:00 am
- “At least 100 American colleges and universities illegally withheld information on approximately $13 billion in undocumented contributions from foreign governments, many of which are authoritarian…. Speech intolerance—manifesting as campaigns to investigate, censor, demote, suspend, or terminate speakers and scholars—was higher at institutions that received undocumented money from foreign regimes.” — ISGAP report, “The Corruption of the American Mind,” November 2023.
- Qatar makes it possible for Ivy League universities to claim that they receive no funds from the Qatari state, because the donations are funneled through the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, a not-for-profit organization established in 1995 by the Emir of Qatar. This ensures that the foundation can identify itself as a private organization, which enables Qatar to conceal its state funding as private donations.
- “At the time of writing, the State of Qatar contributes more funds to universities in the United States than any other country in the world, and raw donation totals omit critical, concerning details about the nature of Qatar’s academic funding.” — ISGAP report, “Networks of Hate,” December 2023.
- “We would pay them [journalists]… Some of them have become MPs now. Others have become patriots…. We would pay [journalists] in many countries. We would pay them every year. Some of them received salaries. All the Arab countries were doing this. If not all, then most of them.” — Former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim, February 2022.

Google Agrees to Settle $5 Billion Class Action Lawsuit Over Tracking Users in ‘Incognito’ Mode By Cassandra Macdonald
Dec. 30, 2023 9:00 am – Google has agreed to settle a $5 billion class-action privacy lawsuit that alleges the tech giant has been tracking people using the “incognito” mode in its Chrome browser.
The lawsuit was filed in 2020 and claimed that Google had misled the public into believing their activity would not be tracked while using the private browser.
WTOP reports that the plaintiffs claimed Google continued to “catalog details of users’ site visits and activities despite their use of supposedly ‘private’ browsing.”
This act gave Google an “unaccountable trove of information” from people who believed they were not being monitored.
“Google has made itself an unaccountable trove of information so detailed and expansive that George Orwell could never have dreamed it,” the lawsuit said.
The settlement terms have not been made public and will still need to be approved by a judge.

‘Rocket Man’ Kim Jong Un Sets His Defense Industry on a War Footing – North Korean Dictator Steps up Nuclear Capabilities for a Confrontation With the US By Paul Serran
Dec. 30, 2023 4:40 pm – O how we miss the time when peacemaker US President Donald Trump walked alone into North Korea, initiating a normalization of bilateral relations, well in the road to constructive interactions between the nations.
Nowadays, warmongers from Joe Biden’s administration from hell only recognize two kinds of countries: vassals and enemies – and ‘rocket man’ Kim Jong Un doesn’t seem inclined to bend the knee.
So we witness a rapid deterioration in the geopolitical situation, leading to real fears of a military confrontation in the Korean peninsula and the world.
North Korea set its munitions industry and nuclear weapons sector ‘on a war footing’.
This follows a long period of raised tensions with the U.S., South Korea and Japan, as well as a number of missile tests and increased border activity.

Less Than Half of Republicans are ‘Highly Confident’ That Votes Will Be Counted Accurately in GOP Primary Election By Cassandra Macdonald
Dec. 30, 2023 5:20 pm – Less than half of Republicans are “highly confident” that votes will be counted accurately in the GOP primary next year.
The number is a sharp contrast from the 72 percent of Democrats who say that they have high confidence their party’s primary election.
According to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research:
About one-third of Republicans say they have a “great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that votes in the Republican primary elections and caucuses will be counted correctly. About three in 10 Republicans report a “moderate” amount of confidence, and 32% say they have “only a little” or “none at all.” In contrast, 72% of Democrats have high confidence their party will count votes accurately in its primary contests. Democrats are also slightly more likely than Republicans to have a high level of confidence in the Republican Party’s vote count being accurate.
The pollsters additionally found that just “about one-quarter of Republicans say they have at least ‘quite a bit’ of confidence that the votes in the 2024 presidential election will be counted accurately, significantly lower than Democrats. Slightly fewer than half of U.S. adults overall (46%) believe the same.”
Overall, the poll found massive distrust for both parties by Americans across the political spectrum.
The Associated Press reports, “About one-quarter of U.S. adults say they have ‘only a little’ confidence or ‘none at all’ that both the Democratic Party and Republican Party have a fair process for selecting a presidential nominee. About half of independents have that low level of confidence in both party’s processes, compared with one-quarter of Republicans and 19% of Democrats.”
Biden DOJ will NOT Pursue Second Trial Against Sam Bankman-Fried – Democrats ALWAYS Get a Pass By Jim Hoft
Dec. 30, 2023 10:00 am – The Biden Department of Justice announced on Friday before the holiday weekend that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF, the top Democrat donor in 2022, will not face a second fraud trial.
CNBC reported:
Prosecutors have decided not to pursue a second trial against disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
In a note to Judge Lewis Kaplan on Friday, the U.S. government explained that the decision to forego a second set of proceedings had to do with the fact that much of the evidence that would have been presented in a second trial had already been submitted to the Court during Bankman-Fried’s first criminal trial.
In November, following a month’s worth of testimony from nearly 20 witnesses, a jury found the former FTX chief executive guilty of all seven criminal counts against him following a few hours of deliberation. Prosecutors added that the Court could consider the hundreds of exhibits already entered into evidence during these proceedings when he is sentenced next year.
“Given that practical reality, and the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of this matter, the Government intends to proceed to sentencing on the counts for which the defendant was convicted at trial,” continued the government’s letter to Judge Kaplan.
Here is a chart of his $42 million he donated to Democrats and ‘dark money” Republicans.

Huge: Argentina’s Milei Presents ‘Omnibus Bill’ Promoting Privatizations, Curbing Protests – Implements ‘Right to Self-Defense’ and Protects Children ‘Since the Conception’ By Paul Serran
Dec. 30, 2023 8:15 am – New Argentinian President Javier Milei continues his urgent work of drafting new legislation to tackle the dire situation in his country.
Milei has just presented a huge, radical ‘omnibus bill’ to Congress, declaring the country in a state of ‘public emergency’.
The comprehensive reforms in the 600-plus articles would give his government sweeping powers regarding economic issues, as well as fiscal, taxation, security, defense, energy and health areas, over a period of two years.
El Pais reported:
“The bill will be fast-tracked via extraordinary sessions of Congress. If it is approved, Milei will have a greater degree of legislative power ceded to the presidency, specifically competences that correspond to both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, where his party, La Libertad Avanza (Liberty Advances), holds a minority of seats. The 664 articles address a variety of issues, ranging from the reform of the political system and the control of social protests to the resale of tickets for sporting events.”
The bill, among many other things, eliminates Mandatory Open Primary Elections, restructures the Chamber of Deputies and removes free advertising spaces for candidates while eliminating the ceiling for contributions.
Some features of the bill are particularly poised to generate controversy, such as the measures against social protests.
According to the text, any ‘intentional and temporary gathering of three or more persons’ is to be considered a crime should it impede free transit or the provision of public services.
When it comes to fundamental rights, one of the highlights of the bill regard the rights to self-defense.
“Regarding security, the bill also introduces amendments to the Penal Code to broaden the right to legitimate self-defense and offer the security forces greater support. On this point, the text also establishes that the person who commits a crime or, in the case of death, his relatives ‘do not have the right to file a complaint or sue the person preventing the crime or preventing flight’. The text also legislates on ‘resistance to authority’ and establishes penalties of up to six years for anyone who ‘uses intimidation or force against a public official or against the person who assists them at their request’.”
In a country with an overgrown and ineffective public sector, Milei brings the dreaded (to the left) subject of privatization.
“The bill proposes that 41 public enterprises are ‘subject to privatization’. The list includes the oil company YPF; the flagship airline, Aerolíneas Argentinas; the railroads and the post office; the Casa de la Moneda (the Argentine mint) and the public media, such as the news agency Télam.”
The text promotes a veritable overhaul of laws, rules and regulations in Argentina.
“The bill seeks to ratify the Necessity and Urgency Decree (DNU) whose 300 reforms dismantle the existing structure of the Argentinian State by repealing laws, eliminating dozens of state regulations, enabling the privatization of public companies, opening the door to operations in dollars and making the labor market and health system more flexible. The DNU is being challenged in Congress, the courts and on the streets by those who consider it ‘unconstitutional’.”
Other meaningful and welcome article deals with protecting ‘children from the moment of their conception’, thereby contradicting the laws on abortion.
