Christmas truce ordered by Putin comes into force
Kiev rejected the ceasefire initiative, calling it a military ruse
A cessation of hostilities in Ukraine ordered by President Vladimir Putin on the eve of Orthodox Christmas took effect on Friday morning. Russia intends to observe the truce for 36 hours, from 12:00 local time on January 6 until midnight on January 7.
The presidentâs ceasefire order was issued on Thursday after an appeal by Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church. âWe call upon the Ukrainian side to proclaim a cessation of hostilities and give them [Orthodox Christians] the opportunity to attend services on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day,â a Kremlin statement read.Â
Donetsk shelled in first minute of Christmas truce â authorities
Ukrainian officials had rejected Moscowâs proposal to stop the hostilities for 36 hours
Ukraineâs forces disregarded the Christmas ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin by shelling a residential area in the city of Donetsk less than a minute after it took effect, according to the local authorities. The truce is supposed to last from noon on January 6 until midnight on January 7.
In a Telegram post on Friday, the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC), a monitoring group that tracks attacks on Russiaâs two Donbass regions, said that Kievâs forces had fired six 155mm shells targeting the Petrovsky District in the western part of the city. No casualties have been reported so far.

President Zelenskyâs top aide has attempted a âcarrot and stickâ approach with West Jerusalem
Mikhail Podoliak, the top aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, has urged Israel to overtly side with Kiev after the new foreign minister said he would âtalk lessâ about the conflict and held a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.
âYou can talk less, but the main thing is to take the right side,â Podoliak told Israeli outlet i24 on Thursday, insisting that Russia âstarted the war on its own initiative and without provocation.â
Blinded by the Lies â The U.S. Military is Relying on Ukrainian Intelligence
I have confirmed that the Defense Intelligence Agency is relying solely on Ukraine for the intelligence on Russian and Ukrainian casualties. In other words, if Ukraine tells its DIA liaison officer that Ukraine killed 400 Russians in its latest HIMARS strike then that is what DIA tells the U.S. General commanding EUCOM. This is more than troubling. This is dangerous.

2023: The ABCs Of CBDC, The Great Reset(s), & More Centralized Control
If you want to understand modern CBDC, it may be worth considering the context of history, the philosophy of man, the math of debt and the geology of gold.
When broken, debt-soaked âdeveloped economiesâ suffering from years of fantasy money printing to âsolveâ fatally rising debt levels collide with history-blind and economically-ignorant policy makers, the end result is always the same: Liberty sinks, currencies die and control rises.
This is not sensationalism, but the toxic evolution of economic, political and psychological patterns seen throughout time.
No Deal: House Adjourns Without Electing Speaker
Update (2010ET): Hopes of a Thursday night deal were dashed, as the Washington Examiner's Juliegrace Brufke reports "No GOP conference meeting tonight, but will hold a phone call to discuss the path forward tomorrow morning, Iâm told."
And as the Wall Street Journal notes, while some of the GOP holdouts have 'stepped up the pace of discussion' during the third day of voting - it's unknown whether enough anti-McCarthy members could potentially change their votes to give McCarthy the job. Thus far, he has lost 11 votes.

Pharma sell-outs: Lawmakers once again taking aim at supplements, looking to ban them over âhealth concernsâ
(Natural News) Because they donât apparently think there are any other problems in the country, like high food prices, an out-of-control border, falling 401(k) accounts, or woke curriculum in our public schools, a group of lawmakers are once again looking to ban health supplements.
âIf this proposed legislation passes, more than 41,000 nutritional supplements could vanish from store and internet shelves. Crafted and ramrodded by âĤ two senators, this act would cripple small companies and turn nutritional supplements into near-worthless pharmaceutical products,â The Epoch Times reported this week.
Pfizer has a shockingly long history of engaging in illegal activities and human experimentation
(Natural News) Big Pharma company Pfizer has repeatedly engaged in inhumane and illegal activities in its history, including acts of fraud, corruption and even human experimentation disguised as vaccine trials.
An investigative journalist writing about censored subjects under the pseudonym âKanekoa the Greatâ noted on his Substack blog that one of the greatest cultural transformations to occur in the past nearly three years is the complete rehabilitation of the image of Big Pharma companies and their newfound glorification for supposedly being responsible for saving humanity from the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
It Doesn't Add Up!
Nobody knows what's in the vials, nor how much of it is there.
NFL proclaimed that near 100% of players COVID-19 vaccinated one year ago, 95% were vaxxed & thus near 100% today! Given recent developments, NFL 'must' ensure each player is tested for myocarditis
The NFL's COVID-19 vaccination rate as of January 13 is as follows: Nearly 95% of NFL players are vaccinated; nearly 100% of NFL personnel are vaccinated; DO NOT disregard possible myocarditis

German Govât Claims Investigating Covid Vaccines Would Be âDangerous For Democracyâ
An investigation of the government response to the Covid debacle would be âdangerous to democracyâ, claims German Ethics Chairwoman and government advisor Alena Buyx, who supported mandatory lockdowns, mask orders and vaccinations during the pandemic.
Many have noticed that the most outspoken officials responsible for brutal COVID restrictions and mandates suddenly donât want to talk about the last few years, and are wishing the growing scandal will go away. Leftist news outlets are even asking for âpandemic amnesty,â which would absolve government, Big Pharma and the mainstream media from any legal consequences resulting from their actions.
Portland Man Has Face Chewed Off by Assailant in Gruesome Attack
Democratic-run city has overseen record crime surge
A 78-year-old man had part of his face chewed off during a gruesome attack in Portland, Oregon, where crime is soaring under Democratic leadership.
The 25-year-old assailant, Koryn Kraemer, attacked the victim early Tuesday at a train station in the suburb of Gresham and bit the elderly man so severely that police reported seeing his skull. When first responders arrived at the crime scene, they had to pull Kraemer off the victim's body.
That video was excellent Lioness , thank you ... forwarded it to my children and friends.
Thank you for posting that video at the end. Totally agree that the hyper sexualisation of society has perverted normal relationships within marriage as well as outside of it.
I was pondering the ramifications of the 60âs sexual revolution only a few days ago and concluded that it has destroyed the possibilities for women and men for sex to be as in to make love vs sex as in fucking.
Rather than freeing women it made them into sex objects by others and themselves. Itâs mind boggling that what only âbadâ girls did in bed during my teenage years in the 1970âs is now the expectation. It has been disastrous for women.
And now to insult womanhood even more itâs being disappeared. As in men can give birth too. Interestingly the health services claim only men should check their prostrate. Perverted inverted hell on earth indeed.
