Houthis Have Knocked Out Several Undersea Internet Cables: Report

There are new reports saying Yemen's Houthis have knocked out several underwater telecommunications cables linking Europe and Asia, however, some of the accounts of the extent of damage remain conflicting.

Multiple Israeli publications are reporting Monday that four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been damaged in recent months - the result of Houthi sabotage. The reporting appears to have originated in Israel's financial daily outlet Globes.

Iran-backed Houthis increase sea drone attacks - analysis

The use of naval drones is an emerging technology. The US Navy, for instance, has experimented with a number of new naval drones in recent years.

The Iranian-backed Houthis have increased their use of “unmanned surface vessels” in attacks. These types of naval drones can pose a threat to ships, and the Houthis have been employing them in the last month as part of their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthis began their attacks in October to support the Hamas attack on Israel. They began by trying to target Eilat with missiles and drones and then began targeting shipping in November. The US, UK, and several other countries have joined a campaign to confront the Houthi attacks.

US military says it destroys unmanned vessels, cruise missiles - report

The US military said on Monday it had destroyed three unmanned surface vessels and two anti-ship cruise missiles that were prepared to launch towards the Red Sea from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

The US military's Central Command also said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it destroyed a aerial drone that was over the Red Sea. All the weapons "presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and to the US Navy ships in the region," it said.

Most UK exporters hit by Red sea crisis – survey

Attacks on ships by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have caused a surge in costs and lengthy delays

Over half of British exporters and manufacturers have faced problems due to shipping disruptions in the Red Sea caused by attacks on vessels by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, according to a new survey by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC). According to the report, 55% of exporters have reported problems linked to the crisis, as have 53% of manufacturers and business-to-consumer services firms, including retailers and wholesalers. Across all businesses, 37% of the more than 1,000 firms surveyed reported an impact.

Tensions Between the Philippines & China as Satellite Image Shows Barrier Near Scarborough Shoal

Recent satellite images of the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea appear to show a floating barrier across its entrance.

A week ago, the Philippines’ fisheries bureau accused China of trying to destroy Scarborough Shoal “intentionally” by using cyanide to destroy the fish-rich atoll. Cyanide fishing is used to stun or kill fish so they can be more easily caught. China maintains indisputable sovereignty over the Scarborough Shoal and adjacent waters, consistently advocating for peace and cooperation in the South China Sea.

Hamas holds European leaders partially responsible for not preventing Rafah operation

The Hamas terrorist organization said on Tuesday that they hold European leaders partially responsible for not "preventing the criminal attack on Rafah.

"The statements of the leaders of European countries in their rejection of the Zionist aggression against the city of Rafah, the most recent of which is the statement of German Chancellor Schulz, in which he expressed his categorical rejection of the attack on Rafah, are welcome statements, but they do not absolve them of their responsibilities in preventing the criminal attack on Rafah, to which nearly a million and a half people are displaced.

Hamas studies Paris truce proposal involving 40-day pause and hostage exchange, source says

Under the proposed ceasefire, hospitals and bakeries in Gaza would be repaired, 500 aid trucks would enter into the Strip each day.

The Palestinian Islamist terror group Hamas has received a draft proposal from the Gaza truce talks in Paris, which includes a 40-day pause in all military operations and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages at a ratio of 10 to one, a senior source close to the talks told Reuters on Tuesday. Under the proposed ceasefire, hospitals and bakeries in Gaza would be repaired, 500 aid trucks would enter into the Strip each day, and thousands of tents and caravans would be delivered to house the displaced, the source said.

Hours before Hamas attack, IDF noticed dozens of terrorists activating Israeli SIMs

Because such activations had taken place in the past, the development was not seen as a definite red flag; military censor permits detail for publication following media leak

At around midnight before Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, Israeli intelligence officials identified that dozens of terror operatives in the Gaza Strip had activated Israeli SIM cards in their phones, the Israel Defense Forces acknowledged on Monday. The massacre in southern Israel was launched hours later, at 6:30 a.m., during which some 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists burst across the border into Israel from Gaza by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages of all ages — mostly civilians — under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.

IDF strikes deeper in Lebanon than for years after Hezbollah shoots down military drone

2 terror operatives killed in strikes near Baalbek, in northeast Lebanon; Israeli air defenses intercept 1 missile fired at UAV, but 2nd one brings it down

The Israel Defense Forces said Monday said it struck Hezbollah targets “deep” in Lebanon after the terror group shot down a military drone hours earlier, amid ongoing border skirmishes and fears of a wider conflict. Lebanese media reported strikes near the city of Baalbek in northeast Lebanon, in what appeared to be the deepest publicly confirmed Israeli strikes in Lebanon in years. Two members of the terror group were killed in one of the strikes.

Gallant: Israel will increase strikes on Hezbollah even during potential Gaza truce

IDF hits multiple targets in Lebanon as well as a Hezbollah cell, amid continuing attacks on the north by the terrorist organization

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel would increase its strikes on Hezbollah in response to its daily attacks on northern Israel, including amid a potential temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. “We are planning to increase the firepower against Hezbollah, which is unable to find replacements for the commanders we are eliminating,” Gallant said Sunday during a visit to the IDF Northern Command headquarters in Safed.

No longer afraid of sparking war, Israel takes gloves off against IRGC in Syria

Since Oct. 7, the IDF has upped the pace of attacks and hit senior Iranian officers, seeing little to lose in countering Tehran’s entrenchment. It seems to be working, experts say

Israel’s years-long air campaign against Iran-linked groups and weapons in Syria appears to have shifted into high gear in recent months, with strikes on high-value targets at a pace that is “changing the rules of the game,” according to experts. Although Israeli attacks on Iran-sponsored weapons transfers and Tehran-backed militias, including Hezbollah, go back to at least 2013, the air force is now unleashing more frequent operations that include assassinations of Iranian officials. Those on the ground have taken notice.

Iran Has Enough Near-Weapons Grade Uranium For Almost 3 Nuclear Weapons: IAEA

At a moment the Middle East region stands at the precipice of spiraling toward a major regional war in relation to Gaza conflict spillover, the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a fresh warning of 'concern' over Iran's nuclear program.

IAEA head Rafael Grossi said Monday that "public statements made in Iran regarding its technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons" have only served to increase "concerns about the correctness and completeness of Iran's safeguards declarations."

Putin Responds To NATO Chief's Vow That "Ukraine Will Join NATO" On War's Anniversary

In weekend remarks made on the occasion of the Russia-Ukraine war hitting the two-year mark, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued some ultra-provocative predictions regarding Kiev's future with the Western military alliance. 

"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when," he said in a video message released Saturday, Feb. 24, which marked an exact two years since Russian forces poured across the Ukrainian border. "As we prepare you for that day, NATO will continue to stand with Ukraine. For your security, and for ours," Stoltenberg added. This 'vow' of future NATO membership comes at a moment where even Ukraine's staunchest external supporters acknowledge its forces are in retreat.

NATO troops in Ukraine can’t be ruled out – Macron

The French president has insisted that everything necessary must be done to ensure that Russian forces lose

French President Emmanuel Macron has argued that deployments of troops to Ukraine by NATO members and other allies cannot be ruled out because Western powers must stop at nothing to ensure that Russia does not defeat Kiev’s forces. “There’s no consensus today to send, in an official manner, troops on the ground,” Macron told reporters after hosting a meeting of European leaders on Monday in Paris.

Putin restructures Russian armed forces

The Moscow and Leningrad military districts have been re-established to meet the new challenges the country is facing

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a decree reorganizing the structure of the country’s military. The decree re-establishes the long defunct Moscow and Leningrad military districts, as well as incorporating Russia’s four formerly Ukrainian regions into the Southern Military District.

Illegal Arrivals Into Spain Soar 500% In 2024... But Socialist PM Rewards Morocco with €45BN Funding Package

The number of illegal migrants arriving on Spanish territory in the first six weeks of 2024 is almost six times more than the corresponding period last year, official figures show.

A total of 12,262 new arrivals by land and sea were recorded up to Feb. 11 compared with 2,568 arrivals in the first six weeks of 2023 — a difference of 493 percent, according to weekly data published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The vast majority of arrivals are boat migrants from Africa — 12,204 sea arrivals and 58 land arrivals were recorded.

European farmers spray police with liquid manure during another violent clash in Brussels

European farmers sprayed police with liquid manure and hurled eggs and flares during another wave of clashes in Brussels, Belgium, on Monday, February 26, 2024. The confrontation occurred as the European Union’s agriculture ministers convened to address the agricultural sector’s grievances, including red tape and competition from low-cost imports.

Central to the farmers’ grievances are the challenges posed by bureaucratic hurdles and the threat of cheap imports from countries not bound by the EU’s stringent agricultural standards. These issues have culminated in significant economic pressures on local farmers, who argue that current policies undermine their competitiveness and sustainability.

Exclusive: Sarah Smith lays out scenario by which an 'emergency' will usher in CBDC in America

The director of the FBI recently went before Congress to warn that Chinese computer hackers are preparing to soon "wreak havoc and cause real-world damage" to our "water treatment plants, electric grid, and gas pipelines."Even if I assume that our FBI director is sharing his honest concerns, the actions of the current administration betray the opposite. Our Border Patrol reports over 5,000 encounters with Chinese nationals per month. Most of these encounters are with single military-aged men. And yet our Southern border has remained wide open.

Liberals’ Online Harms Bill Calls For New Hate-Crime Offence, up to Life Imprisonment

The Liberal government today is tabling its new bill aimed at addressing “online harms,” and it goes beyond protecting children by targeting other categories of content.

The bill would add a new form of hate crime to the Criminal Code, punishable by up to life in jail, and give up to $20,000 in compensation to victims of online “hate speech.” Preliminary details of the government’s latest internet legislation were released in a technical briefing from Heritage Canada and the Justice Department on Feb. 26.

Doctors: WHO Wants to Control Health Care in US

In medicine, individualized treatment is being tossed in favor of centralized, checklist driven healthcare, physicians said on a panel at CPAC.

The World Health Organization is aiming to weaponize public health to advance centralized control over medicine and expand that power to anything else that it can define as a public health crisis. During a Conservative Political Action Conference panel hosted by Jan Jekielek, a senior editor of The Epoch Times, physicians Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Brooke Miller explained what they see as a plan to expand the centralization of medicine.

Financier and member of the Rothschild banking family, Lord Jacob Rothschild, died at 87. The cause of death was not given in a statement from the family. 

"Our father Jacob was a towering presence in many peoples' lives - a superbly accomplished financier, a champion of the arts and culture, a devoted public servant, a passionate supporter of charitable causes in Israel and Jewish culture, a keen environmentalist and much-loved friend, father and grandfather," the family said in the statement. The statement continued: "He will be buried in accordance with Jewish custom in a small family ceremony and there will be a memorial at a later date to celebrate his life."

Geoengineering Ramps Up With Large-Scale Government Projects Across the Globe.

Large-scale geoengineering — deliberate interventions to alter the earth’s climate — will be taking place in the near future. What was once the province of science fiction will soon become part of the official strategies to fight climate change.

Many geoengineering techniques were considered “taboo” until recently by scientists, who feared devastating unintended consequences. These include “dumping chemicals in the ocean” and “injecting reflective particles in the sky.” However, growing alarm at the “climate crisis” is causing scientists, with private and government support, to conduct pilot experiments worldwide.

They Are Creating Incredibly Bizarre New Technologies For The Dystopian World Of The Future

Many would argue that we are already living in a dystopian society, but if those that are currently running things get their way our world will soon look far more dystopian than it does now.  Over the past few years, we have seen an unprecedented explosion of new technologies.  Some of these technologies appear to have the potential to make life better, but others would give those in positions of power the ability to watch us, track us, monitor us and control us like never before.  If you are not concerned about what we are now witnessing, that is probably because you haven’t been paying attention.

Apple’s Vision Pro goggles rewire the brain, researchers warn

Apple’s recently released Vision Pro goggles may seem like a fun new piece of tech, but researchers are warning that they could rewire the human brain in some very unexpected ways.

The Vision Pro uses 12 cameras within its glass fascia that serve as a lens, while its LiDAR scanner uses a laser to measure the distances to various objects. It uses passthrough video, which involves cameras and sensors capturing images from the world around you and reproducing them inside the device in a synthetic environment that can be overlaid with other elements.

UK hospital group claims milk from ‘chestfeeding’ is ‘as good for babies’ as a mother’s

Domperidone's own manufacturer recommends against new mothers taking it in most cases due to the risks it poses to their newborn babies.

(LifeSiteNews) — In the latest display of transgender ideology’s dominance of the medical field, a British government-backed hospital system claims that milk from “transgender women” – i.e., men – is equally good for babies as breast milk from their mothers. The Telegraph reported that the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (USHT) is disseminating a letter endorsing a practice that has been dubbed “chestfeeding”

Nationwide Recall Issued For “Deadly Outbreak” In Dairy Products — Costco, Walmart, More

A nationwide recall in the United States has been issued for dairy products due to a listeria outbreak.

Listeria can be a fatal disease in the elderly, young children, and those with compromised immune systems, and symptoms can manifest the same day a contaminated product is ingested, or nearly 2 years later in some cases. Common symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats—the usual for food-borne illnesses.

Experts warn that the extinction of the Y chromosome may result in new species of humans

The extinction of the Y chromosome may result in new species of humans. That isn’t the plot for a dystopian sci-fi film, but genuine scientific theory.

We were all taught that the X and Y genes determine sex. Women have a pair of XX chromosomes, and men XY. But what you might not have been taught is that the Y chromosome is much smaller, carrying around 55 genes compared to roughly 900 on the X. All embryos are technically female until around 12 weeks, when a gene on the Y chromosome kicks in and male development starts (hence why men have nipples).

Taylor Swift comes under more fire for ‘Satanic Rituals’

Former Boyzone band member Shane Lynch has accused Taylor Swift of embedding evil messages in her music and performing Satanic rituals during her concerts.

The 47-year-old Irish singer and born-again Christian made the claims in a new interview with Irish newspaper Sunday World. “I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing,” he said. “You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.”

What is causing an unusual level of ‘paranormal activity’ in a patch of woodlands in Massachusetts?

An eerie patch of woodlands in Massachusetts is known for ‘paranormal activity’, including rumored sightings of UFOs and Bigfoot.

Known as ‘Monsterland’, the five-mile stretch of woodlands that line the small city of Leominster, near Boston, US, has had locals spooked for centuries. Mysterious tales started surfacing in the 1800s, but things all took off in the 1950s when a man said in a local bar that he had encountered a ‘monster’ – before vanishing when he left to track it down. The spooky place now has Bigfoot hunters from miles around coming to have a crack at spotting the hairy beast.
