US Confirms 2nd Carrier Group En Route To "Deter Hostile Actions Against Israel"

Update (2100ET): The Pentagon has ordered a second carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, according to two US officials, as Israel prepares to expand its Gaza operations.

The first carrier strike group, led by the USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived off the coast of Israel earlier this week. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Saturday night that the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrying nine aircraft squadrons, as well as two guided-missile destroyers and a guided-missile cruiser, will soon join the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group in the region to “deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war following Hamas's attack on Israel.”

Iran warns Israel of regional ‘earthquake’

There is still a chance to prevent the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from spilling over, Tehran believes

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has urged Israel to end its airstrikes on Gaza, warning that the conflict with Hamas could spread across the region if Israel sends ground forces into the enclave, and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah enters the fray. “I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place,” Amir-Abdollahian said in a briefing with reporters in Beirut on Saturday. “Any step the resistance will take will cause a huge earthquake for Israel.”

Middle East on brink of full-fledged war – Russian ambassador to UN

Vassily Nebenzia believes the US bears some of the responsibility for the recent escalation between Israel and Hamas

The Middle East is on the verge of a major war, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has warned, commenting on the recent flare-up of hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The diplomat also condemned the “terrifying” level of violence witnessed in the region of late and called for an immediate ceasefire.

Speaking to the media following a closed-door meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday, Nebenzia said that the “region is on the brink of a full-fledged war and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.”

Biden administration orders 'non emergency' government staff to leave Israel and urges Americans in Gaza to head to Egypt's Rafah crossing ahead of potential reopening as IDF prepares to take fight to Hamas

Ukraine’s counteroffensive has completely failed – Putin

Russian forces have improved their standing almost everywhere along the frontline, the president says

Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which has been underway since early June, has completely failed, Russia’s president Vladimir Putin has said.

In a short interview, released by the Rossiya 1 channel on Sunday, Putin was asked to comment on recent statements by some Ukrainian officials, who acknowledged that their operation was stalling and failing to meet Kiev’s schedule.

Ex-Zelensky aide calls for new government in Ukraine

Kiev has failed to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and needs a change of leadership, Aleksey Arestovich wrote on Telegram

Ukraine’s counteroffensive has failed, its troops have built no defensive lines, and President Vladimir Zelensky has allowed corruption and incompetence to flourish, former adviser Aleksey Arestovich said on Saturday. New elections are the only way out of the impasse, he argued. Zelensky’s focus on defending the Donbass city of Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine) at all costs earlier this year drained men and resources that could have been sent south to participate in the summer counteroffensive against Russian forces, Arestovich wrote on Telegram.

US claims North Korea delivered 1,000 containers of equipment and munitions to Russia for Ukraine war

The White House said on Friday that North Korea has delivered more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine.

Speculation about a possible North Korean plan to refill Russia’s munition stores drained in its protracted war with Ukraine flared last month, when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin and visit key military sites.

Ukraine Vs Israel: Can The West Arm Both?

Just three days after the Hamas-led Palestinian resistance launched an unprecedented military offensive against Israeli military posts and settlements by land, sea, and air, Israeli officials began begging their US sponsors for additional weapons. Politico reported this week that according to a senior Pentagon official, "The Biden administration is surging weapons to Israel, rapidly sending air defenses and munitions in response to Israeli officials’ urgent requests for aid."

Escobar: The Geopolitics Of Al-Aqsa Flood

Global focus just shifted from Ukraine to Palestine. This new arena of confrontation will ignite further competition between the Atlanticist and Eurasian blocs. These fights are increasingly zero-sum ones; as in Ukraine, only one pole can emerge strengthened and victorious.

Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was meticulously planned. The launch date was conditioned by two triggering factors. 

• First was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flaunting his 'New Middle East' map at the UN General Assembly in September, in which he completely erased Palestine and made a mockery of every single UN resolution on the subject. 

• Second are the serial provocations at the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, including the straw that broke the camel’s back: two days before Al-Aqsa Flood, on 5 October, at least 800 Israeli settlers launched an assault around the mosque, beating pilgrims, destroying Palestinian shops, all under the observation of Israeli security forces.

Everyone with a functioning brain knows Al-Aqsa is a definitive red line, not just for Palestinians, but for the entire Arab and Muslim worlds. 

SENIOR PENTAGON ANALYST WARNS OF DANGER TO AMERICA! THE ATTACK ON ISRAEL COULD HAPPEN HERE GIVEN OUR OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER

Fifty years ago (1973), after graduating from West Point I published an article that correctly predicted the future war between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988). Months later while in Ranger School my class was activated for the 1973 Yom Kippur War that erupted against Israel, instigated by a surprise attack from Syria and Egypt.

I believe today we face a similar situation with Iran using its proxies to once again attack Israel. Further, and don’t misunderstand, Iran is an ever-closer ally of Russia and China, which won’t condemn Hamas’ action because as the Wall Street Journal indicates, Iran’s radical Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps helped to plan Hamas’ attack into Israel. Further, Hezbollah, another Iranian proxy will support Hamas through a series of engagements in northern Israel.

The Sword Of Damocles: An Economic Worst-Case Scenario For The Israeli-Palestine War

In October 1973, Israel fought the Yom Kippur War against a coalition of Arab States led by Egypt and Syria. As a result of this, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries proclaimed an oil embargo against western countries supporting Israel. In six months, the price of oil rose by nearly 300%, globally, and even more in the U.S., which at that time had become dependent on the Middle-Eastern oil.

In the current time, in the worst-case, Israel launches a major counter-offensive against Palestine leading to a declaration of war, to Israel, from Iran and Syria (others may join too). In this situation, the U.S. would be almost surely forced to respond and take part in the defense of Israel.

"We Can't Force The Human Body To Accept Foreign Genetic Code'' Dr. McCullough On mRNA Technology

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough warned that messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines inject “foreign genetic code” into human beings, which the body fails to break down or expel for a prolonged period of time.

Research on mRNA “has been going on for decades,” Dr. McCullough said during an Oct. 5 interview. The 2023 Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded to two scientists for making “messenger RNA long-lasting in the human body,” he said. “I mean, it has been tested in multiple applications … It's an absolute bust. It was just the worst idea ever to install the genetic code for a lethal protein without being able to shut it off. It wasn't the fact that it was rushed; it's just ill-conceived from the very beginning.”

How the US WWII nuclear weapons programme became Operation Warp Speed

We have heard much about the scientific perspective of all things covid.  But as a journalist with a university degree and interest in history, in her series of articles published by The Conservative Woman, Jardine gives a different perspective on what happened leading up to and during the covid era.

The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons.  So, what could this possibly have to do with the covid vaccination programme?

Anti-parasite benzimidazole drugs show promise for treating cancer, but remain SUPPRESSED by the FDA

Multiple peer-reviewed papers suggest that anti-parasite benzimidazole drugs could be useful in cancer treatment protocols. Fenbendazole, for example, possesses at least twelve anti-cancer mechanisms of action and has been proven effective against a host of different cancers, including colorectal cancer cells, leukemia, breast cancer, lymphomas and ovarian cancer.

However, in the United States, the drug remains unapproved for use in humans, despite its low toxicity profile in both animals and humans since the 1960s. This inexpensive and efficacious anti-parasitic drug could be useful in treating various cancers, but just like the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin, it too remains suppressed by the Food and Drug Administration and is relegated to being just some "horse dewormer" for veterinary use only.

Watchdog Cries Foul over Scotland Police Biometrics-sharing Pilot Storing Data in US

A Police Scotland biometric evidence-sharing pilot project has been accused of being not just needlessly risky but of being criminal by Scotland’s biometrics commissioner.

In a carefully worded letter to Police Scotland in which Commissioner Brian Plastow praises the law enforcement body’s openness to his regulatory actions regarding the pilot, he says that it doesn’t “ameliorate my specific concerns.”

Era Of ‘Unquestioned And Unchallenged’ Climate Change Claims Is Over

Leading voices in the climate community are in an uproar as their warming hypothesis comes under fresh assault by new scientific papers.

The authors of the papers are being attacked and say that “activist scientists” threatened by the new findings are “aggressively conducting an orchestrated disinformation campaign to discredit the papers and the scientific reputation of the authors.” Indeed, from insults on social media and furious blog posts to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests demanding emails from a journal editor and federal scientist, the controversy is getting heated.
