The American people are left in the dark on a whole host of things. Sadly, it’s almost become commonplace. So, when a major catastrophe occurs, we’re usually getting half-truths, scripted responses, and total political spin jobs. Or hey, sometimes we get absolutely nothing, like what went down in Las Vegas when a supposed “lone gunman” opened fire on country music concertgoers.

The news cycle over the past week has been dominated by reports and analysis of the Signal group chat involving top national security officials discussing aspects of the recent air strikes which have been directed against the Houthis in Yemen. There are four basic issues that are being examined by both the media and by elected and appointed government officials. First is the apparent ignorance of ordering the strike at all since the panel appeared not to know very much about the target or why the US was escalating the conflict. Second, was the possibly accidental inclusion in the list of participants of a journalist who is closely connected to Zionist Israel, having voluntarily served in the Israeli Army as a prison guard, where he may have tortured Palestinians, and who plausibly is a dual national US-Israeli citizen. Third is the security of the Signal technology itself, which was reportedly initially created to permit such sharing of confidential views online for criminal purposes, but which might be vulnerable to penetration by any professional foreign intelligence service including those of Russia, China, the United Kingdom and, of course, Israel, which would have had a serious interest in what Washington was intending to do in Yemen.

The FBI often allows violent attacks on Americans “to keep fear alive” like the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York. A truck bomb exploded in the underground parking garage killing 6 Americans and injuring over a thousand. In this case, the FBI and its CIA ally had allowed known terrorists to enter the United States and provided them the explosive material to construct a massive bomb.

NATO has taken control of the transfer of military equipment to Ukraine. The mission is also responsible for training Ukrainian soldiers. The head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, visited the POLLOG HUB logistics center in Jasionka, Poland, through which military aid is delivered to Ukraine, and also met with the soldiers stationed there.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams just came up with a very interesting idea.
During recent episode of his podcast, he suggested the creation of a new government department called the ‘Department of Imaginary Concerns’ which could handle Democrat worries about things like climate change panic, Trump taking away democracy, Russia collusion, the Signal controversy, Elon Musk stealing people’s Social Security numbers and more.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is slashing 10,000 full-time employees as part of its effort to trim fat and reorient the department around Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Health Again” (MAHA) agenda.
“We aren’t just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a press release on Thursday. “This Department will do more — a lot more — at a lower cost to the taxpayer.”
The 10,000 cut jobs are in addition to the 10,000 employees who opted to leave since President Donald Trump began his second term, per the Wall Street Journal.
The ultimate goal of the “overhaul” is to focus HHS on “ending America’s epidemic of chronic illness by focusing on safe, wholesome food, clean water, and the elimination of environmental toxins,” the department said.

The usual World Economic Forum (WEF) show that captures and dominates all of Davos for a week starts on Monday, 20 January and lasts until Friday, 24 January. It is an ever-increasing nuisance for the population of Davos, an otherwise lovely winter resort place, converted every year into a high-end bordello – for the little carnal pleasures of the rich and famous attending the WEF glamour show.
This year, the elite participants are to be protected and defended from illusionary terror attacks by nothing less than Swiss Army fighter jets. BRAVO!

A measles outbreak in Texas has grown to include 327 people. Nearly all cases are in unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). At least 40 people have been hospitalized so far.
Two unvaccinated people have died of measles since the outbreak. Only two of the cases have occurred in fully vaccinated people with the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, according to the data.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in the outbreak area and the surrounding communities. DSHS is working with local health departments to investigate the outbreak,” the department said in a press release.

Last year, International Man published an intriguing article by Jeff Thomas about American society during the Great Depression period. Duly named Duesenberg In A Barn, it opens with a story about shifts in culture and the lifestyle of wealthy individuals and families during the 1930s and beyond (Duesenberg produced luxury sport cars between 1913 and 1937).
He recounts how the riches that didn’t get snuffed out by, or even profited from, the 1929 Stock Market Crash, kept flaunting their wealth trying to outcompete each other, in an attempt to extend the 1920s Jazz Era hedonism and largesse into Depression times.

“If Trump can disappear them, he can disappear you. The Trump regime is already targeting immigrants who are here legally simply because they expressed opinions that Trump disagreed with. What makes you think he’ll stop there? With no court to verify anything the Trump regime alleges, you could be arrested and sent to a prison in El Salvador for having views the regime dislikes.”—Robert Reich
Imagine this: you’re rounded up in the dead of night by government agents, arrested and sent to a detention center. The arresting agents don’t identify themselves, nor do they provide any documentation indicating why you are being detained. Nevertheless, without your family or friends knowing that you have been taken hostage, without anyone knowing where you are being transported or why, and without any opportunity to defend yourself or proclaim your innocence, you are flown out of the country to a foreign prison in a police state where you will have no rights whatsoever.
