US Congress permanently ends Syria sanctions Elad Benari
US Congress votes to permanently lift sanctions on Syria, ending the Caesar Act and opening investment channels under new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Dec 18, 2025 INN
The US Congress on Wednesday voted to permanently end sanctions on Syria that were imposed under ousted leader Bashar Al-Assad, clearing the way for renewed foreign investment in the war-torn country, AFP reported.
President Donald Trump had already suspended implementation of the sanctions twice, following appeals from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, both key backers of Syria’s new government led by former jihadist Ahmed al-Sharaa**.
Sharaa, who now heads the Damascus leadership, sought a full repeal of the restrictions, warning that businesses would remain reluctant to engage with Syria as long as the sanctions remained law in the world’s largest economy.
The Senate passed the repeal of the 2019 Caesar Act as part of its annual defense package, with a 77-20 vote, after approval in the House of Representatives. The measure now awaits Trump’s signature.
The Caesar Act, enacted in 2019, was named after an anonymous Syrian military photographer whose images documented atrocities in Assad’s prisons. The law had imposed sweeping restrictions on investment and cut Syria off from the international banking system.
Its purpose was to block foreign companies from financing Syria’s reconstruction while Assad remained in power – at a time when the regime appeared to have regained control after years of devastating civil war that triggered mass refugee flows to Europe and fueled the rise of Islamic State.
A year ago, Sharaa’s forces captured Damascus in a lightning offensive, toppling Assad’s rule. Since then, Sharaa has impressed Trump, notably during their meeting at the US President’s May visit to Riyadh.
The two met again last month, this time at the White House during Sharaa’s visit to Washington.
Sharaa’s group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), was delisted as a terrorist organization by the US in July. Since taking power, Syria’s new leadership has sought to distance itself from its extremist past and present a more moderate image.

UK Lawmakers Push to Mandate Surveillance Tracking on All Smartphones for ‘Child Safety’ Frank Bergman
December 16, 2025 Slay News
Privacy advocates are sounding the alarm over the most sweeping attempt at digital control ever proposed in a Western democracy, as UK lawmakers advance plans to roll out an unprecedented public monitoring program under the guise of “protecting children’s well-being.”
A new set of amendments quietly slipped into the United Kingdom’s Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill would force nearly all smartphones and tablets sold in the country to come preloaded with tamper-proof government-mandated surveillance software.
Under the legislation, the monitoring cannot be removed, disabled, or opted out of.
The proposals appear under a deceptively benign section titled “Action to promote the well-being of children by combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM).”
But the text reveals an unprecedented expansion of state power over private devices.
The amendment requires that any “relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”
In other words, the only way such a system can function is by scanning every single photo, video, livestream, and file on a user’s device, continuously, in the background, without consent.
Manufacturers, importers, and distributors would be legally required to ensure all internet-connected smartphones and tablets comply.
Enforcement would occur “as if the CSAM requirement was a security requirement for the purposes of Part 1 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022.”
In other words, this is client-side scanning on a national scale.
This government-mandated surveillance apparatus will be built into the operating system of every single personal device used by the general public.
A System That Must Scan Everything
To “prevent the recording, transmitting … and viewing” of illegal content, software must analyze all content, including encrypted photos, private videos, and messages never shared with anyone.
There is no technological workaround.
The proposal functionally demands:
- Always-on device monitoring
- Automated classification of private content
- The erosion of end-to-end encryption
- No ability for the user to disable or refuse the scanning
This is not a parental-control tool, however.
It is an inspection system that treats every citizen’s device as a potential crime scene.
And real-world data shows how flawed such systems already are.
In 2024, German authorities reported that nearly 50 percent, 99,375 out of 205,728, of all CSAM “tips” forwarded to them, from the U.S.-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), were false positives.
Those scans came from companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google under the existing “Chat Control 1.0” model.
Now imagine error-prone scanning not just on messages sent across a platform, but on every file on your phone.
A Surveillance Framework Far Beyond “Child Protection”
The same bill contains additional amendments that quietly erect an interconnected digital-identity regime for minors:
• Pages 19–20: VPN providers must apply “age assurance” to determine if a user is a child, effectively forcing identity verification for all users to access privacy tools.
• Page 21: All regulated social media platforms must impose “highly-effective age assurance measures” to block under-16s entirely.
Combined with mandatory device-level scanning, this forms the legal groundwork for a fully monitored, fully verified, fully trackable digital environment.
While marketed as “protecting children,” these measures redefine privacy as a conditional privilege that exists only if the state allows it.
A System Built for Expansion
Unlike the EU’s controversial “Chat Control” plan, which would scan communications as they pass through messaging platforms, the UK proposal goes much further.
This would embed scanning directly into every personal device, meaning the government (and any future leadership) would already have the legal and technical infrastructure needed to analyze:
- Political content
- Medical information
- Religious material
- Private messages
- Encrypted communications
- Personal photos stored offline
Once the architecture is in place, expanding the categories of “prohibited” material becomes as simple as changing a definition.
Surveillance Creep in the UK Is Accelerating
This proposal is not emerging in a vacuum.
The UK is already:
- Arresting people for online posts and private messages
- Rolling out real-time facial recognition across cities
- Expanding speech-policing powers under vague “harmful content” standards
- Sharing data across government agencies with little transparency
Now lawmakers want the power to examine your personal photos and videos before you even send them.
A democratic nation is openly considering turning every phone and tablet into a permanent government-approved scanning device, all under the banner of “children’s well-being.”
The only thing standing between the British public and a full-scale, baked-in surveillance state is whether socialist Labour Party-controlled Parliament approves this amendment.

It’s advertising, outreach, and public relations all at the same time. These ‘freedom fighter’ terrorists are promoting a ’cause’, and by attacking people in LA, it effectively helps the cause! It’s called ’cause and effect’. Here are the four people apprehended so far:

3 Americans Just Died for Syria BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

And for Qatar, Turkey and Muslim ‘nation-building’.
We were told it was never going to happen. It just happened.
Two American soldiers, members of the Iowa National Guard, and a civilian interpreter were killed in a Muslim terrorist attack.
The official press release states that this was an attack by an ISIS terrorist.
The Trump administration press release claims that the Al Qaeda “President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack” and that it took place “in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them.”
Meanwhile there appear to be authoritative reports naming the killer as a member of the Al Qaeda government under Al-Sharaa/Al-Jolani who had been a member of his Al Qaeda group ‘HTS’ and that the attack took place during a meeting to discuss next steps.
It’s hard to know where the truth lies, but the allegation that the attack was an insider operation are very specific.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that “the attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement.”
That jibes with the allegation that this was an insider attack and an ISIS terrorist should not have had access to such a meeting.
Whatever the truth of the matter is, three Americans are dead because we’re trying to prop up Qatar and Turkey’s Jihadist state.
The excuse that we’re fighting ISIS in Syria is utter nonsense. Yes, ISIS affiliates in Syria. So are Al Qaeda affiliates. We just lost 3 soldiers on the theory that we should be helping the ‘moderate’ Al Qaeda fight the ‘extremist’ ISIS.
Except that Ahmed al-Sharaa had been tasked with setting up his Jihadist group by the Caliph of ISIS. And at the Doha Forum, the Jihadist made it clear that he thinks Americans are terrorists and that his terrorists are the good guys.
Enough of this already. No more nation building. No more propping up whoever Tom Barrack’s backers are. No more dying for Turkey. No more dying for Qatar. No more dying to nation build Muslim countries on behalf of Muslim terrorists while they kill us,
Enough!

Former member of Israel’s Knesset Moshe Feiglin makes a bold claim: the real war isn’t just with Hamas, it’s a global identity war between civilization and two destructive ideologies: radical Islam and progressivism. From the shocking silence of feminist groups on October 7 to the collapse of Israeli deterrence and Western values, Feiglin tears into the ideological rot hollowing out the West and Israel’s own military and political elite. He explains why modern Zionism has lost its soul, why anti-Semitism can’t be fought with Hasbara and why reclaiming Judea, Samaria, Gaza and our faith is the only path forward.
