Earlier today AND Magazine sources in Syria provided the video below. The sources indicate that the video was shot in a government building in Damascus after the fall of Assad. The building was in the process of being looted at the time.

Earlier this month the Global Times, an English language news medium based out of China, published a 2-part series on the fentanyl problem in the U.S., claiming that the United States has been wrongly blaming China for this crisis that is American-made. These are articles that were also republished in the Russian English news. See:
While these reports contain useful information in understanding the fentanyl crisis in the U.S., they were hard to read, perhaps because they were first written in Mandarin and then later translated into English, and they were lacking references.

Damned ol’ Bart is still on his same ol’ shtick – here we go again with the “they will not let Trump into power again” thematic diatribe. Oh well, at least this time I have some more concrete possibilities that are not so generically trite. This time I have some more ideas on just what “they” may have in mind. It is the conspiratorial “they” that we are talking about and that are to blame, with the definition of exactly who “they” are left up to the readers to decide for sure. But the hints are strong, and need not be doled out in Lilliputian detail as we have been covering just that for so long now it should be automatically inserted by our subconscious minds as a naturally occurring default.

The International Monetary Fund is willing to provide El Salvador with a $1.3 billion loan, but the nation must meet two demands. First, El Salvador must commit to reducing its budget deficit to 3.5% of GDP over the next three years. The second requirement is for El Salvador to begin backing away from bitcoin.
El Salvador declared bitcoin legal tender in 2021. The nation holds a bitcoin Treasury worth over $600 million as of lately with bitcoin’s recent price spike and has been purchasing about 1 btc per day. President Nayib Bukele recently took to social media to declare the success of his bitcoin adaptation, claiming gains of over 127%. Yet, the public has not largely adopted the new currency. In fact, the Central American University conducted a study in January that revealed 88% of citizens have not used bitcoin in transactions over the previous year.

Romania Election Annulled Over Misinformation
The BBC reports Romanian Court Annuls Result of Presidential Election First Round
Romania’s constitutional court has annulled the result of the first round of voting in the presidential election just days before the second round was due to take place.
It means the process will be restarted from scratch, with the government due to decide a date for a new vote.

Steve Bannon went off on the FBI and others Tuesday during his War Room Show.
Bannon warned the leftovers from the illegitimate Biden regime not to get too comfortable in their cozy offices.
Steve Bannon: We’re going to fire everybody in this illegitimate regime… Everybody, every battlefield commission, every historical society, the Smithsonian, the Kennedy Center, every person that was put in by this illegitimate regime, is going to be shown the door. Shown the door! We dare you, if you’re listening, we dare you, because we know you are, we dare you to give a blanket preemptive pardon to these criminals. Yep, on Fauci. Yep, on Shifty Shiff. Yep, on General Millie. Yep, on Liz (Cheney)…

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday found that the Justice Department in 2017 secretly surveilled lawmakers, congressional staffers, and reporters.
CNN reported that the Justice Department, in 2017, during Trump’s first term in office, secretly obtained records of Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Patel – who was at the time a Republican staffer for the House Intelligence Committee – as well as 21 Democrat congressional staffers, 20 Republican staffers (including Patel,) two nonpartisan congressional staffers, and eight reporters.

Yet another gruesome gang horror has played out in Haiti, as at least 184 people — most of them elderly — were variously slashed, hacked, or shot to death on the orders of a warlord who’d been advised that aging slum residents had used sorcery to give his son a severe illness. Interim Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé called it “a barbaric act of unbearable cruelty.”
The brutality was reportedly ordered by Monel “Mikano” Felix, who leads the Wharf Jeremie gang. The carnage took place on Friday and Saturday in the densely-populated seaside slum of Cité Soleil, a neighborhood in the capital city of Port-au-Prince which The Guardian has called Haiti’s “most notorious slum…Much of the slum is an open sewer…infant children bathe in water contaminated with sewage. The stench is unbearable.”
