West under oligarchs
Western society has been hostage to the same pathology for over 2,000 years.
Today, we are in a better position than ever to end this curse and emancipate humanity.
In his remarks to the United Nations General Assembly in October 2014, Noam Chomsky opened with the statement that, "Many of the world's problems are so intractable that it's hard to think of ways even to take steps toward mitigating them." Since that speech, things only got worse and in addition to the festering social, political and economic crises plaguing the developed world, we find ourselves at risk of sliding toward another World War.
All this seems unnecessary and preventable; yet in spite of the fact that an overwhelming majority of people around the world abhor these developments, it seems oddly difficult for us to change course.

Next-generation AI 'swarms' will invade social media by mimicking human behavior and harassing real users, researchers warn
Swarms of artificial intelligence (AI) agents could soon invade social media platforms en masse to spread false narratives, harass users and undermine democracy, researchers warn.
These "AI swarms" will form part of a new frontier in information warfare, capable of mimicking human behavior to avoid detection while creating the illusion of an authentic online movement, based on a commentary published Jan. 22 in the journal Science.
Imagine finding that the views of your favourite online community are hardening around a position that was previously up for debate.
Human instinct is often to follow the "wisdom" of the herd.

FLASHBACK: NY Jewish institutions hit with 150 child sex abuse lawsuits since 2019
At least 150 child sex abuse lawsuits were filed against Jewish institutions in New York over the past two years, under a special law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations barring old claims, according to an analysis of the New York court system by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
This look-back window for reviving allegations was created by the Child Victims Act of 2019 and it led to a dramatic wave of lawsuits that peaked just ahead of the August 14, 2021 deadline.
Survivors took advantage of the CVA window to file nearly 11,000 civil suits against individuals and institutions, according to data provided by the New York's Office of Court Administration.

Johannes Kepler: Inventor of science fiction and defender of his mother in a witchcraft trial
All while revolutionizing our understanding of the universe This is how I picture it: A spindly middle-aged mathematician with a soaring mind, a sunken heart, and bad skin is being thrown about the back of a carriage in the bone-hollowing cold of a German January.
Since his youth, he has been inscribing into family books and friendship albums his personal motto, borrowed from a verse by the ancient poet Perseus: "O the cares of man, how much of everything is futile." He has weathered personal tragedies that would level most.

Fire engulfs former Volkswagen factory, which now makes Chinese brand, south of Moscow
Fire crews extinguished a fire that broke out early Wednesday at the former Volkswagen plant in Russia's Kaluga region, now repurposed as part of Moscow's post-sanctions auto ecosystem.
There's been little in the way of a cause mentioned in international reports, amid an investigation, though skeptical headline consumers will note there's been a tit-for-tat covert sabotage campaign long underway between Russia and Ukraine-Europe in the context of the war, now about to enter its fifth year.
According to Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry, the blaze erupted at a foam recycling workshop inside the Tenet automobile facility, which currently assembles Chinese-made vehicles, and no casualties were reported.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Iran-US tensions: A Middle Eastern media perspective
The situation in Iran following the mass unrest since late last year, and Washington's response to it with threats of intervention, is a powerful magnet for politicians and media in the Middle East.
Arab Authors on the US President's Style Local commentators analyze the likely scenarios for tensions between the two antagonists and their implications for the entire region.
Regional media are taking seriously the statements of US President Donald Trump, who, under the pretext of protecting Iranians from assassinations and human rights violations, hinted at an imminent military operation.
Many Arab authors point to the peculiarities of the White House leader's actions and behavior.

"Electoral outcomes were influenced," alleges the report.
A 36-page report ennoscriptd Elections Canada Complaint Regarding Foreign Influence in the 2015 Canadian Election alleges third parties worked with each other to bypass federal election spending limits — all of which appears to be in contravention of the Canada Elections Act.

Canadian Woman Euthanized 'Against Her Will' After Husband Reported 'Caregiver Burnout'
A Canadian woman in her 80s was euthanized 'against her will' through Canada's medical assistance in dying program (MAiD), after her elderly husband told doctors she had changed her mind despite telling an assessor she wanted to live, according to a report released by the Office of the Chief Coroner.
MAiD allows patients to request a painless death if an assessor agrees that they have a terminal condition which meets certain requirements.
While most patients wait weeks for a decision, euthanasia can be performed as soon as the same-day if deemed medically urgent by a MAiD provider.
According to the report by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee, concerns have been raised over questionable deaths.

Chinese hackers reportedly breached phones at 'heart of Downing Street' in global spy campaign
Chinese state-linked hackers breached mobile phones at "the heart of Downing Street" amid a global cyber-espionage campaign over several years targeting telecommunication networks, according to reports.
U.S. officials first alerted its allies in 2024 after finding out that hacking groups had gained access to telecom companies around the world, according to The Associated Press.
The campaign reportedly targeted multiple countries, including the U.S. and the other members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance: Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The breaches allegedly gave China access to the phone data of millions and the possible ability to eavesdrop on calls, read text messages and track users' locations.

🇵🇸The U.S. occupation of Gaza has begun
The plans for Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" show that the goal is not just to make Gaza a playground for the wealthy, but to put it under permanent American occupation.
This week, Drop Site News revealed a draft resolution from Trump's newly christened "Board of Peace." The resolution outlines what is, in essence, Phase Two of Trump's unrealistic peace plan that ushered in a new phase of horror in Gaza under the guise of a ceasefire.
The actions outlined in the resolution ignore realities on the ground and paint a very grim picture of what the United States is planning for Gaza.

Pizzagate Exposed: Part 1
I want to start my Pizzagate series by establishing the fact that pizza has been a known pedophile code word used by predators to operate hidden in plain sight for many years.
In October of 2016, when the Podesta E-mails were released, the Urban Dictionary actually had defined "cheese pizza" as child porn.
At that time there were two definitions of pizza as a code word for child porn - one from 2010 and one from 2015.
So it's important to note these definitions were established long before the Podesta E-mails were released.

🛸Landmark Brazilian UFO case reaches Capitol Hill as Varginha incident turns 30
OVER A LARGE BOX of untouched donuts in Washington's Longworth House Office Building, Congressional representatives sat rapt as a visiting Brazilian neurosurgeon described what it was like to stare back at the large lilac-colored eyes of a highly intelligent, nonhuman being.
So, not your usual Capitol Hill meeting.
The closed-door session on Jan. 15 brought together three members of Congress seeking greater government transparency on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, long called UFOs, and a group of Brazilians who say they witnessed the crash of an otherworldly spacecraft and later encountered its nonhuman occupants.

Canadian Conservatives cheered the defeat of a 'parental rights' motion — here's why that should terrify parents
At the CPC AGM in Calgary, delegates rejected a policy defending parent-led counselling for kids with gender dysphoria — leaving families exposed under Canada's conversion therapy ban.
It was nothing to cheer about.
Still, cheers erupted when the resolution to protect parental rights and permit talk therapy for gender-confused children was shot down.
No, it wasn't a gathering of the extreme leftist Liberals or NDP majority who are obsessed with aggressively pushing pro-transgender narratives on kids.
