Israel on verge of all-out invasion of southern Lebanon, Netanyahu vows ‘full force’ — but Biden, Macron, UN demanding immediate ceasefire for 21 days

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA — All signs point to an imminent and all-out invasion of southern Lebanon by Israeli Defense Forces.

But U.S. President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and other European and Arab leaders are demanding that Israel immediately accept a ceasefire that would last for at least 21 days. Not once in their official statement, however, did they even mention Hezbollah, the terrorist organization in Lebanon that has already fired nearly 10,000 missiles at Israel, putting nearly one million Israelis in grave danger.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed in New York City on Thursday and will address the United Nations General Assembly on Friday.

Netanyahu vows to keep hitting Hezbollah ‘full force’ as his allies pan truce report

Ben Gvir threatens to withdraw his party from coalition if PM agrees to proposal by US, France and other nations for a 21-day lull to negotiate an end to fighting

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel is striking Hezbollah “with full force” and will not stop until its goals are achieved. Netanyahu spoke as he landed in New York to attend the annual UN General Assembly meeting and as American and European officials were pressing for a 21-day halt in fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah to give time for negotiations. He said Israel’s “policy is clear. We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with full force. And we will not stop until we achieve all our goals, chief among them the return of the residents of the north securely to their homes.”

Risk of all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel- Pentagon chief

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday that there was a risk of all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel but added that a diplomatic solution was still viable.

"We now face the risk of an all-out war. Another full-scale war (could) be devastating for both Israel and Lebanon," Austin said after a meeting with his British and Australian counterparts in London. "So let me be clear, Israel and Lebanon can choose a different path, despite the sharp escalation in recent days, a diplomatic solution is still viable," Austin said. Asked about red lines for US support to Israel, Austin said the United States would not change its commitment to help Israel protect itself and its sovereign territory.

US, UK Send Hundreds Of Troops To Cyprus For Lebanon Contingencies

Hezbollah's Nasrallah earlier warned Cyprus not to make itself "part of the war

Earlier this week amid escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, and with increasing airstrikes hitting Beirut - resulting in commercial air traffic at Beirut's international airport coming to a total halt - the Pentagon said it is sending more US troops to the region. At least some of them have already arrived in Cyprus, CNN has reported. Dozens of American troops are there, with Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder having confirmed that the US has sent "a small number of US military personnel forward" to the region "out of an abundance of caution." Close US ally the United Kingdom has ordered a surge of hundreds to Cyprus alongside the US troops.

IDF also hits bridge on Syria-Lebanon border, used by Lebanese terror group to smuggle arms; Beirut says nearly 2 dozen Syrians killed in strike

An airstrike killed a senior Hezbollah leader in a strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Thursday afternoon, the military said, with fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group showing little sign of slowing as an international bid to secure a ceasefire appeared to fall apart. The strike in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh targeted the head of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, Mohammed Srur, who is largely responsible for the terror group’s drone fleet along with cruise missiles and aerial defenses.

The Lebanese broadcaster, Marcel Ghanem, opened his show "Time Has Come" on MTV with a powerful monologue condemning Hezbolla

"The ones who should be ashamed are those who placed weapons among civilians, turned rooftops into missile launchers, and chose to meet in residential homes. No matter how much you lie, the evidence is clear, undeniable, and indisputable." Ghanem also held Hezbollah responsible for the mass exodus of Lebanese citizens fleeing their homes in the south of the country.

Kremlin reveals target of proposed nuclear doctrine change

President Putin’s suggestion should discourage the West from supporting aggression against Moscow, Dmitry Peskov has said

A proposal by Russian President Vladimir Putin to update the national nuclear doctrine should serve as a warning to Western states of what could happen if they support aggression against Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. On Wednesday, Putin suggested that the new nuclear strategy should treat “aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state,” as a “joint attack” that would cross the nuclear threshold. The implication is that the new rules would apply to a possible Ukrainian attack deep inside Russia with advanced weapons supplied by the US, Britain or France

US responds to Putin’s nuclear doctrine proposal

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has decried President Vladimir Putin’s comments as “irresponsible”

President Vladimir Putin’s warning that Russia plans to update its national nuclear doctrine is “irresponsible,” according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. On Wednesday, Putin suggested that under a revised version of Russia’s nuclear doctrine, any aggression against the country by a non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state could be considered a “joint attack” and cross the nuclear threshold. The proposed change implies that the new rules could apply to a Ukrainian strike deep inside Russia with advanced weapons supplied by the US, Britain or France.

US spies fear ‘lethal retaliation’ from Russia – NYT

Moscow could “covertly sabotage” American bases if Ukraine is allowed to strike deeper inside Russia, the publication has claimed

US intelligence agencies are warning that Moscow may retaliate against Kiev’s Western sponsors directly if they permit Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia, the New York Times reported on Thursday. According to an intelligence assessment cited by the NYT, analysts believe that even if Ukrainians are allowed to use the missiles freely, it will not significantly impact the conflict due to their limited numbers. Furthermore, after initial strikes, the Russians would likely relocate vital functions out of range, making it harder for Ukraine to achieve any military objectives

Ditching the Dollar: Putin Announces Work on Independent BRICS Payment System for Global Trade

Russia, together with BRICS countries, is working on creating its own payment system for the independent handling of all foreign trade, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced.

"In cooperation with BRICS countries, we are working on creating our own payment and settlement system, which will create conditions for the effective and independent servicing of all foreign trade," Putin said during the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week International Forum. BRICS is an interstate organization established in 2006. As of January 1, 2024, Russia assumed the chairmanship of BRICS. This year, new members have joined the group - alongside Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa, it now includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

Taliban Wants To Join BRICS, Seeks Invitation To Russia's Upcoming Summit

Not the Onion...

Despite not being formally recognized by any country, the Taliban government of Afghanistan is now seeking to join the BRICS economic forum.

"Countries with major resources and the world's biggest economies are associated with the BRICS forum, especially Russia, India, and China," the Taliban government's deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said. "Currently, we have good economic ties and commercial exchanges with them. We are keen to expand our relations and participate in the economic forums of the BRICS," he said.

Afghanistan's Neighbors Seek Stability, Not Another Civil War

After two decades of U.S.-sponsored mayhem in the Hindu Kush, all the region wants is to recoup the missed opportunities of the “lost decades” of 2001-2021

Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, recently declared he will defeat the Taliban “no matter the odds.”  For Massoud to mount a military threat to the Taliban, he would need the cooperation of the Central Asian republics, Iran or Pakistan (among others) to do the job. However, Afghanistan’s neighbors have no interest in another civil war in Afghanistan, as the violence and refugees would spill over their borders and cause economic dislocation and unrest all the way to Europe.

US Navy Modernizing To Counter China's Military By 2027

Project 33 sets two key goals: achieving 80% combat readiness for ships, aircraft, and submarines by 2027, and integrating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and unmanned systems.

The U.S. Navy has released a document outlining its plans to match and exceed Beijing’s goal of modernizing its military by 2027, aiming to be prepared for a potential conflict with the Chinese regime. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has directed the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to be fully modernized and prepared for war by 2027, coinciding with the PLA’s 100th anniversary. This timeline has raised concerns about a possible invasion of Taiwan, as Chinese leader Xi Jinping focuses on military reforms to ensure the PLA can deter or win a conflict over the island.

China's new nuclear submarine sinks in humiliating blow

China's newest nuclear-powered submarine sunk at a Wuhan port - with the Communist Party trying to cover up the blunder for months. 

The Zhou-class vessel plunged under water while being built with the gaffe first being discovered by US officials who were assessing satellite photos of Wuchang Shipyard. The newly-built submarine, which features a distinctive X-shaped stern, is thought to have sank in late May or early June while undergoing final equipping tests for sea. It is not known if any nuclear fuel was being carried at the the time of the sinking, but several experts have speculated it more than likely was, reported the Wall Street Journal. 

British PM Starmer’s Leftist Government Already in Turmoil, as His Own Labour Party Rejects His Plan of Cutting Winter Heating Subsidy for Pensioners

To say that Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government in the UK has started with the wrong foot is almost an understatement.

Involved in a scandal of irregularly accepting free clothes for his wife, paying an unacceptably high salary his chief of staff, and unveiling a slew of unpopular and tyrannical policies and legislation projects – it’s a mess. His popularity immediately tanked as a considerable portion of voters have ‘buyers regret’ for supporting him. Now, if things were not bad enough, HIS OWN PARTY has turned against him, as yesterday (25) members of his Labour Party dealt the Premier a blow, rejecting his decision to cut payments that offset winter heating costs for millions of retirees.

EXCLUSIVE: Venezuelan Opposition Leader Exposes How Communists Used Laws to Destroy the Country’s Democracy

In an exclusive interview with TGP, Eduardo Bittar, leader of the Venezuelan libertarian resistance group “Rumbo Libertad”, issued a stark warning about how Chavismo hijacked the law to establish a dictatorship in Venezuela.

Since founding Rumbo Libertad in 2016, Bittar has been a vocal opponent of Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime, which he says follows the authoritarian model set by Hugo Chávez. Bittar detailed how the Chavista regime, initially masked as a democracy, manipulated the country’s legal structure to crush opposition, erode democratic institutions, and consolidate power in the hands of a socialist elite. In his interview, he stated

Far-Left Blogger Publishes Iranian-Hacked Dossier on J.D. Vance, Doxing His Social Security Number, Physical Addresses, Cell Numbers, and E-Mails

Far-left blogger Ken Klippenstein has published an internal campaign vetting dossier on the 2024 Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). Klippenstein, who previously worked as a journalist with The Intercept and the far-left progressive commentary web show The Young Turks, posted the material believed to have been hacked by the Islamic Republic of Iran on his Substack on Thursday.

The National Pulse is choosing not to link to the dossier, given the plethora of personal information contained therein. The dossier published by Klippenstein contains a bevy of private information belonging to Vance, including his social security number, personal phone number, physical addresses, and private email addresses. Klippenstein made no effort to conceal other private details and contact information for the vice presidential nominee, potentially constituting a threat to Vance and his family.

Indictment of NYC’s Eric Adams Unsealed. Here’s What It Alleges…

Federal agents searched New York City Mayor Eric Adams‘s official residence, Gracie Mansion, early Thursday morning. The operation occurred just hours before the indictment against the Democratic Party politician was unsealed.

Mayor Adams’s attorney, Alex Spiro, stated that agents arrived at 6 AM to retrieve the mayor’s phone, which had already been seized once during the investigation late last year. Meanwhile, the unsealed indictment against Adams reveals the New York City mayor faces five counts ranging from wire fraud to bribery to accepting campaign donations from a foreign national.

WATCH: FBI Whistleblower Issues Dire Warning to America as the Presidential Election Approaches and Delivers Powerful Recommendations to All Americans

Former FBI staff specialist and whistleblower Marcus Allen delivered a powerful warning to America on Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that everyone should take seriously or regret later.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Allen had his security clearance suspended in 2022 after he raised questions about Director Christopher Wray’s statements regarding law enforcement involvement during the January 6th protests. Allen upset his superiors at the bureau when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee last year and revealed how he was the victim of political retaliation for his views about January 6th.

Federal Judge Rules Fluoride is a Neurotoxin in Historic Lawsuit

Fluoride poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children, according to a U.S. federal court.

On Tuesday a federal court in California found that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligram per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children”. The new ruling issued by Judge Edward Chen noted that the finding does not “conclude with certainty” that fluoridated water is “injurious to public health” but does find there is “an unreasonable risk of such injury”. This risk is sufficient to require the EPA to enact a regulatory response, Chen wrote. The decision is the latest ruling in an eight-year legal battle between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). The lawsuit began following the EPA’s 2016 decision to deny the plaintiff’s petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The first phase of the trial took place in summer 2020 via Zoom and the second phase of the fluoride lawsuit concluded in February in San Francisco.

Sleeping giant that's threatening to torpedo US economy

A strike by the largest dockworker group in the US could bring the country's shipping industry to a standstill, several have warned.

A strike by the largest dockworker group in the US could bring the country's shipping industry to a standstill, several have warned. The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) threatened to strike of the first time since 1977, asking their demands be met by October. If not, 85,000 workers across 36 ports on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico will cease work, resulting in about $5billion in losses each day. The move would also disrupt supply chains that only just recovered from the pandemic, further fueling inflation and the cost of living. Experts warned of the concept this week, as the deadline rapidly approaches.

Advanced AI System Is Already "Self-Aware"; ASI Alliance Founder Warns

"...not just a chatbot. It’s architected as a sort of autonomous agent which has its own goals and its own self awareness and tries to know who it is..."

ASI Alliance founder Ben Goertzel says the alpha version of OpenCog Hyperon — the artificial general intelligence system he’s been developing for more than two decades — is already “self-aware” to a certain extent. Goertzel also tells Magazine he believes OpenAI likely shied away from making its “very impressive” new o1 model an autonomous agent for fear that it would be seen as “risky and dangerous” and provoke a crackdown from regulators. The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance was formed in March this year, bringing together Goertzel’s SingularityNET project, Ocean Protocol and DeepMind veteran Humayun Sheikh’s FetchAI.

Creator of (AI) ChatGPT claims it will soon be smarter than any human on Earth

CHATGPT, a groundbreaking artificially intelligent (AI) chatbot, will be smarter than any human on Earth “in a few thousand days”, according to its creator. It will be like the dawn of the internet – on steroids.

In a personal blog post titled “The Intelligence Age”, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote: “It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days (!); it may take longer, but I’m confident we’ll get there. “How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity? In three words: deep learning worked.” Artificial superintelligence is a hypothetical machine learning system with an intellectual scope beyond the smartest, and most gifted humans on Earth.

FBI Seeks Options for “Clearview AI” Type Facial Recognition Searches

The FBI has put out a request for information regarding (RFI) open-source facial recognition capabilities which it hopes to acquire in the future.

The technology they are desiring would function similar to what is offered through companies like Clearview AI and PimEyes, both of which have been heavily scrutinized and sued for privacy violations. Biometric Update reports that: The agency explains the motivation behind its RFI as relating to major criminal, counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations: “Investigative leads are often derived from open-source images posted on social media profiles, Internet sites, and the dark web; for example, individuals often use social media to communicate, coordinate, and conduct criminal activity.”

Mind reading technology: Is it already here?

In a speech at the World Economic Forum last year, Professor Nita Farahany argued that mind-reading technology is not only real but already in use.

She spoke of scenarios where brain metric monitoring could enhance safety, such as preventing accidents caused by driver fatigue.  She also acknowledged the “dystopian” potential of this technology, like mandatory brain signal transmission in China. Chinese train drivers, for example, are being required to wear brain-monitoring hats to monitor their fatigue levels.  And brainwave-monitoring technology is already in use by companies like Amazon and Walmart. Has mind-reading technology arrived or is the World Economic Forum fearmongering?  The Gold Report takes a look into how far research into mind-reading technology has actually gone.

DEVELOPING: Swarm of 100+ earthquakes rattle edge of Hanford nuclear site in Washington

More than 100 small earthquakes have been recorded since Saturday on the edge of the Hanford Reach National Monument, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

The quakes were at the western edge of the monument’s McGee Ranch, the land used as a security perimeter around the nuclear reservation during the years it produced plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program. “This is a completely natural phenomenon; although this swarm happens just outside the Hanford site, is has nothing to do with the radioactive waste stored there,” according to a blog post from the seismic network, a University of Washington and University of Oregon program to monitor earthquake and volcanic activity across the Pacific Northwest.

Hurricane Helene to strike as Category 4 with ‘unsurvivable’ 20-foot storm surge

The time to prepare for the onslaught of Hurricane Helene is essentially over as the monster storm continues to gain strength and sets its sights on Florida’s Big Bend region, where it will unleash a potentially “unsurvivable” 20-foot storm surge, catastrophic hurricane-force winds and flooding rain.

Nearly the entire state of Florida is under some sort of tropical weather alert, with Tropical Storm Warnings extending hundreds of miles inland into Georgia and the Carolinas, including Atlanta. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says that because of Hurricane Helene’s massive size, there is a significant risk of a life-threatening storm surge along the entire west coast of the Florida Peninsula, as well as Florida’s Big Bend region.
