President Biden's Operation Prosperity Guardian to shield commercial vessels in the Red Sea, along with US and UK bombing raids across the Middle East, have yet to stop Iran-backed Houthi rebel attacks around the Bab al-Mandab Strait. 

On Monday morning, Houthi militants claim to have hit an "American ship" (Star Iris) with missiles in the critical waterway. According to Bloomberg, the Marshall Islands-flagged vessel owned by US-listed Star Bulk Carriers Corp. was hit by two missiles that caused "minor damage." The ship was transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the time of the attack.

Negotiators working on a framework for a deal to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have made “real progress” over the last few weeks, a senior Biden administration official said Sunday night. The hostage release deal was the main focus of a 45-minute telephone call between US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier. While there were still some “significant” gaps to close, the official said the deal was “pretty much there,” adding that Biden had stressed the need to capitalize on that progress to “secure the release of all hostages as soon as possible.”

Gallant – IDF intelligence work will lead to ‘realistic’ hostage deal

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday that the intelligence discoveries that the IDF has made in the field in the Gaza Strip over recent days and weeks is what will lead to a “realistic” hostage deal.

The weekly Cabinet meeting is taking place at the military’s security division to show ministers a display of some of the findings, which include “many maps, communication devices, documents, computers, hard drives” as well as armaments such as missiles and explosives, said Gallant in a video statement while standing in the middle of the room full of items.

Without hostage deal, Israel will attack Rafah in two weeks, Egypt tells Hamas – WSJ report

Egyptian officials estimate that Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip will move on the town of Rafah in about two weeks if a hostage release deal is not reached before then, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

When Egypt warned Hamas leaders about the Israeli intentions, the terror group's officials insisted on their existing demands, rejected the “Israeli threats” and said they were prepared to defend Rafah. Rafah is the last major holdout still fully under Hamas control, manned by four intact battalions of Hamas terrorists.

UNRWA Chief Urged to Resign After ‘Absurd’ Pledge of Ignorance

24 News – Israeli diplomatic leaders called for the resignation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, following denial of knowing about a Hamas data center under the agency’s headquarters in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed on Saturday night that Hamas built a vast network of tunnels under the UNRWA headquarters, with a base directly underneath that was even hooked up to its grid.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has denied supplying his Starlink satellite internet network to Russian troops. The service has been widely used by the Ukrainian army during the ongoing military conflict. “A number of false news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia,” Musk said on his platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. “To the best of our knowledge, no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia.”

"Germany Is In Really Big Trouble": Perfect Storm Of Terrible Trends Paints "Bleak" Picture As "Distress Is Spreading To Other Sectors"

A confluence of economic stagnation, higher energy prices (due to anti-nuclear idiocy), and the highest corporate distress rates in Europe suggest Deutschland is in for a sharp contraction - a sentiment shared among fund managers, credit traders and crestfallen German executives moping around Davos last month, according to Bloomberg. …"Germany is really in trouble," according to Barings fund manager Brian Mangwiro. "All the big manufacturing economies are slowing but, in Germany, this is compounded by higher energy costs. There are also challenges in the auto sector with competition coming from China."

For The First Time Ever, Poll Shows Le Pen Winning French Presidency In The Second Round

In an exclusive poll conducted by IFOP, the National Rally (RN) candidate Marine Le Pen is predicted to win the presidency in the second round of voting against Gabriel Attal in 2027. It is the first time any poll has shown her securing victory and becoming president of the nation.

In the same poll, if she were to face off against Édouard Philippe, she would tie him with 50 percent of the vote. The groundbreaking poll, where she earned 51 percent of the vote against Attal, who serves as the current prime minister in the Macron government, has even garnered front-page coverage in France.

British aircraft carrier fails to leave port

The departure of the HMS Prince of Wales for NATO drills has been delayed, the UK Defense Ministry has said

The HMS Prince of Wales has been unable to depart for the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War, the British Defense Ministry has said. This marks the second blunder involving a Royal Navy aircraft carrier within the space of one week. Its sister ship, the HMS Queen Elizabeth, was initially slated to spearhead the Nordic Response 2024 drills, which would gather some 40 NATO warships off Norway’s coast in March and serve as the naval component of the US-led military bloc’s broader Steadfast Defender 2024 exercise.

North Korea Develops New Guided Projectile, Control System for MLRS - State Media

A multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a type of rocket artillery system that contains multiple launchers which are fixed to a single platform, and shoots its rocket ordnance in a fashion similar to a volley gun.

The North Korean Academy of Defense Science has developed a new guided shell and control system for multiple launch rocket systems, North Korean state-run news agency KCNA reported on Monday. The academy has already conducted test firing of 240 mm shells to assess their accuracy, the report said.

Soaring debt pushing wealthy nations to ‘fiscal death’ – economist

Global borrowing topped a record $300 trillion last year

Major economies that fail to address their mounting debt issues will die a “fiscal death,”the head of investment and wealth advisory Laffer Tengler Investments, Arthur Laffer, has warned. In an interview with CNBC this week, he predicted a “decade of debt,” adding that the borrowing crisis has embraced both developed and emerging countries, and it is not going to “end well.” Global debt has surged by $100 trillion from a decade ago and hit a record of $307.4 trillion last September, amid the biggest surge in global interest rates in 40 years, according to the economist. 

Will Commercial Real Estate Trigger The Next Crisis?

The latest inflation figures in the United States look relatively positive, with a slight decline in annualized inflation rates. However, only three items of the CPI components declined in December.

Persistent inflationary pressures that threaten to undermine the rate-cut narrative that financial markets have adopted are present below the surface. Investors expect the Federal Reserve to pump the monetary laughing gas machine, anticipating further rate cuts and monetary easing to support multiple expansions. However, in this wave of fervent optimism, there are dark clouds looming on the horizon: another wave of regional bank troubles added to the burgeoning crisis in the commercial real estate market.

West’s Big Pharma Conducted Drug Testing on Mariupol's Psychiatric Patients for Years

MARIUPOL (Sputnik) -According to documents obtained by Sputnik, major Western pharmaceutical companies, with the assistance of Ukrainian officials, purportedly conducted testing of rheumatological drugs on patients in a Mariupol psychiatric ward for several years.

During the restoration of hospital No. 7 in Mariupol, a construction team stumbled upon a collection of documents in the basement. These findings of interest turned out to be records from a hospital psychiatric ward, dating from 2008 to 2016. Upon examination, these documents detailed a series of human experiments involving certain undisclosed drugs, which were solely identified by numbers.

CDC Is Now Retaliating Against Its Own Scientists For 'Wrong' Mask Research

In a congressional hearing last November on restoring trust in science, CDC Director Mandy Cohen kept evading questions on whether she would bring back mask mandates for toddlers.

“We have a lot of different tools to protect our children,” Dr. Cohen said during her cagey response. Six days later, a BMJ journal published a study that found “mask recommendations for children are not supported by scientific evidence.”

Health officials confirm first case of human bubonic plague in the US since 2015

An Oregon resident has been infected with the state’s first case of bubonic plague since 2015, health officials said last week.

The resident was likely infected with plague by their symptomatic pet cat, Deschutes County Health Services said in a news release on Wednesday. “All close contacts of the resident and their pet have been contacted and provided medication to prevent illness,” Dr. Richard Fawcett, the Deschutes County health officer, said in the release without identifying the infected resident.

WHO’s Pandemic Treaty negotiations are failing; they are blaming it on vaccine patents

Maybe 5% of the negotiations regarding the World Health Organisation’s Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations (“IHR”) are about a trade agreement. The other 95% are about global control of information, pandemics and medicine through the World Health Organisation (“WHO”), says Dr. Meryl Nass.

In an article published at the end of last month, Nature wrote that for almost a year nations have been negotiating the terms of a Pandemic Treaty and the talks are due to conclude this year, but countries are poles apart on key issues. WHO’s Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has recently acknowledged that the talks were in trouble, meaning that the deadline might not be met.

Biden Targeting Military Veterans, Older Americans, Rural Communities And Those That Hold The Bible And Constitution Sacred, With Federally Funded AI Censorship Tool

When the Biden's regimes "Ministry of Truth" was scrapped after public backlash, it is doubtful that anyone with a brain thought they were done trying to control what information the American public is allowed to see and discuss online.

Those with a working brain were right, the Biden regime not only didn't stop trying, they simply decided to do it differently by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to target information that is not the "official narrative" from being discussed on social media or other platforms where Americans discuss issues.

HOUSING CRISIS: How Canadians are becoming serfs in a neo-feudal society

Vectored through the housing market, a cost of living crisis has gradually imposed upon Canadians a neo-feudal system that will invariably leave them poorer than their antecedents. The Covid-19 crisis exacerbated years of mounting housing affordability woes in Canada’s major markets, namely Toronto and Vancouver, but it’s since spread through the nation like wildfire. 

Now, despite a dearth of sufficient purpose-built rental stock to house them, a growing number of young adults are either living with their parents or slated to become part of the country’s permanent renter class.

Egyptians Turning to Silver to Hedge Against Inflation

With gold prices skyrocketing in their local currency, Egyptians are turning to silver to protect their savings and wealth from skyrocketing price inflation.

According to a Reuters report, surging prices and a weakening currency have driven the price of gold in Egyptian pounds to record high levels, pricing many Egyptians out of the market. In order to protect their wealth from currency devaluation, many are turning to silver as a more affordable alternative.

The Reuters report called the trend “a measure of an economic crisis.”

Neuralink: Here’s What We Know About This Brain-Computer Interface

This site published an article back in 2019 on “smart chips for the brain.”  It quoted Northwestern University neuroscientist and business professor Dr. Moran Cerf saying, “In as little as five years, super smart people could be walking down the street; men and women who’ve paid to increase their intelligence.”Well, here we are, five years later. … and at the end of January, Elon Musk announced on Twitter (X) that the first human had received a Neuralink implant, a device called Telepathy.  We’re not sure if he is super smart yet.  But if Telepathy works as planned, he may have a variety of new capabilities.

Apple Vision Pro may rewire our brains in unexpected ways

The reviews are in, and the tech press is lauding the Apple Vision Pro headset for delivering on the company’s promises. It’s well-designed, the video and sound are startlingly precise, the “Minority Report”-style gestural interface is future-tastic.

Nobody’s exactly sure what it’s for, or whether even the Readiest Players One will spend $3,500 on it, but hey — that’s gadgets for you. Still, this is a new gadget frontier. The Vision Pro, like the similarly kitted-out Quest 3 and Quest Pro headsets from Meta, uses what’s known as “passthrough” video — cameras and other sensors that capture imagery of the outside world and reproduce it inside the device.

AI now threatens to replace White-Collar workers

Decades after automation began taking and transforming manufacturing jobs, artificial intelligence is coming for the higher-ups in the corporate office.

The list of white-collar layoffs is growing almost daily and include jobs cuts at Google, Duolingo and UPS in recent weeks. While the total number of jobs directly lost to generative AI remains low, some of these companies and others have linked cuts to new productivity-boosting technologies like machine learning and other AI applications.
