Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has endorsed the findings of a study published in The Lancet, which estimates that the death toll in Gaza during the first nine months of Israel’s assault was approximately 40% higher than the figures officially reported by the Ministry.
At the annual conference of ambassadors on January 6 at the Elysee Palace, Emmanuel Macron, outlining France’s foreign policy priorities for 2025, once again demonstrated a complete lack of strategic vision and understanding of international dynamics, which are now more complex and volatile than ever.
For years, the UK and Sweden stymied Freedom of Information requests to hide why prosecutors under Keir Starmer pursued the Wikileaks founder. Finally the game may be up
After nine years of legal battles, a British judge has finally challenged the wall of secrecy erected by British and Swedish authorities around the legal abuse of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
In September 2024, Britain’s House of Lords International Relations and Defence Committee published a little-noticed report, Ukraine: a wake-up call. Based on extensive consultations with military veterans and think tank apparatchiks, it amply exposed London’s “decline as a full-spectrum military power,” and how the country’s fantastical “commitment to retaining global influence” is based on “military aspirations” that are “unaffordable”. The appraisal also amply underlines how the country is woefully ill-equipped and unprepared for major conflicts overseas, let alone defending itself at home.
Monitoring corporate media performance for 25 years – week after week, war after war – has done little to diminish our dismay at the robotic automaticity of ‘mainstream’ enthusiasm for US-authored regime change.
Trump’s renewed fury to take possession of Canada, Greenland and the control of the Panama Canal is the utmost meaning of American imperialism. As before WWI and in the Nazi regime, the U.S. seems to have entered the late stage of its imperial hubris.
Ordinary humanity faces an emerging threat from the combined might of the Human Elites (billionaires and the military-political class) working with perhaps the greatest power the planet has ever seen: artificial intelligence. Their combined might has the potential to totally screw us. Happy New Year everyone.
Very few humans have had the good fortune to descend into the depths of the world’s oceans. The deepest such place – 11 kilometres below sea level at its deepest point – is the Mariana Trench, which is located just north of the 607 islands of the Federated States of Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean (by comparison, Mount Everest is nearly nine kilometres above sea level). Down there, in the depths below six kilometres in what is called the hadal zone, there is no light. It is called the hadal zone after Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld. In Aeschylus’ The Persians, the chorus sings, ‘Hades, the all-receiving god, takes all into his grasp and never releases them’. The depths are treated with fear, the darkness below almost a gateway to Hades’ fiery hell.
It’s all there: Hillary Clinton’s emails, McCain’s guilt, the Vegas shooting perpetrated by an FBI sniper, Steve Jobs’ letter on HIV, Pedo Podesta, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Israel, the military-financial complex, the mafia/mafias, CIA agents arrested for rape, conspiracies, CIA false-flag attacks, the WHO pandemic, etc…..

Hagiography is inevitable when presidents and other prominent people die. The unwillingness to ‘speak ill of the dead’ and the propaganda that would have us believe in American exceptionalism must be rejected. Jimmy Carter was always devoted to protecting the interests of the U.S. state.
The abduction of the Kamal Adwan hospital chief is the latest manifestation of Israel’s campaign to destroy the territory’s healthcare system

Welcome to Review 578, which covers the latest developments regarding new GMOs, including the industry’s global push to remove regulatory safeguards from these products.
Yemen, long seen as a victim of external aggression, is now rewriting the rules of engagement in West Asia. By targeting Israel and the US–UK navies with unflinching precision, Ansarallah has forced its adversaries into an unwinnable corner.
An Israeli prosecutor argued that Palestinians detained after 7 October 2023 should be executed for alleged acts such as stealing avocados. This image, leaked to CNN, shows Palestinians detained at Israel’s secretive Sde Teiman torture camp. (Obtained by CNN)
There are still zero complainants in alleged cases of rapes committed by Palestinians on 7 October 2023, an Israeli prosecutor has admitted.
Emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal how leading “anti-hate” campaigner Imran Ahmed collaborated with Israeli embassy officials to censor pro-Palestine social media accounts — and courted them for donations to his censorship-obsessed Center for Countering Digital Hate.
An eighth baby, Ali Youssef Ahmed Kloub, has tragically died from hypothermia in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli occupation continues its large-scale campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. The infant lived in a tent on a beach, enduring freezing conditions that have claimed the lives of several children this winter.
In a heart-wrenching video shared by a Palestinian journalist on social media, the grieving mother, overcome with tears, described finding her child frozen, saying, “It was as if he had been placed in a freezer.”
In a previous press release, Gaza’s Media Office emphasized the dire situation facing forcibly displaced families, whose homes were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, leaving them vulnerable to the freezing winter conditions.
Western propaganda made of distortion and manipulation has a new face of the month: Cecilia Sala. Spotlights on, cameras on, last reading of the script and… we’re off!
Ukrainian forces continue to suffer irreversible attrition prompting calls by Ukraine’s Western sponsors to begin drafting 18 year olds;
A French-trained and equipped brigade of over 4,500 troops is under investigation for large-scale desertions and reports of “abuse of power;”
Ukraine is losing manpower and equipment faster than it can be supplied to Ukraine, especially trained manpower and the larger units it is organized under;
A properly trained brigade can take up to 3 years to stand up, equip, and prepare for combat;
Western media admits Ukrainian forces are facing difficulties in holding Pokrovsk in the Donbass region as well as its shrinking area of operation in Russia’s Kursk region;
The fundamentals contributing to Ukraine’s incremental military collapse have not and cannot be addressed by its Western sponsors meaning only negotiations or more likely, Western intervention to create a Syria-style “buffer zone” will hold off a total collapse of Ukraine’s fighting capacity;
The US is likely waiting to maximize the cost imposed on Russian forces, its economy, and its geopolitical standing as the US places pressure along all of its periphery as the conflict in Ukraine continues;
Satan is, by tradition, the Persuader of worldly things, and the fallen Angel “whose light surpassed all others” (Thomas Aquinas). He certainly would have rejoiced at the “reopening” of Notre-Dame de Paris: propaganda and light displays were au rendez-vous. Setting aside the Sunday high mass that would deserve a rhetorical treatment on its own, the marketing-driven inauguration of Paris’s archepiscopal church offers an occasion to ponder and wonder about historical manipulations.
