from 21st Century Wire:
Reports of corruption scandals in Ukraine have become an almost daily affair. Graft, embezzlement, and slush funds intended to bribe public officials, or secret slush funds to carry out acts of state-sponsored terrorism – nothing is off the table for an increasingly compromised Zelensky regime.
The task of tracking the stolen cash has become almost impossible, because since the war broke out, Kiev has become a veritable ‘black box.’

The Criminalization of International Law. Part I
The ICJ Judgment of January 26, 2024 assigns the Netanyahu government representing the State of Israel –accused by the Republic of South Africa of genocide against the People of Palestine– with a mandate to “take all measures within its power” to “prevent and punish” those responsible for having committed “Genocidal Acts”. (under Article IV of the Genocide Convention)
Sounds contradictory? What the ICJ judgment intimates –from a twisted legal standpoint– is that Netanyahu’s Cabinet “appointed” to implement the “prevent and punish” mandate cannot be accused of having committed “Genocidal Acts”.

Israel bombed the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza just days after Belgium announced they will not cut any funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

In what can only be a surprising move, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has openly defied the White House and invoked Article 1 section 10 of the US constitution as a reason to ignore the Biden Administration’s demand that the State government cease erecting a border barrier along the Texas-Mexico border.
For months, the federal government has ratcheted up threats against the state government and condemned Texas for erecting razor-wire barriers and other impediments to migration. The White House has sued to force the demolition of these barriers in further efforts to increase foreign migration into Texas. Texas took legal action of its own against the federal order. However, on Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Federal government could proceed with its plans to cut the razor-wire barrier.

Some of us older folks grew up in a time of normality when chaos was not the rule and weird, life-changing things didn’t happen. The stakes were not that high when we were growing up, except for the whole imminent nuclear war thing, but now we are regularly beset by flocks of black swan events, events so significant and life-changing that they send our society and our politics off in strange new tangents. And they now happen all the time. 9/11, the Wall Street meltdown, Trump’s election, COVID, Ben Shapiro getting a No. 1 rap hit … the black swans are coming fast and furious, and there is no sign of them stopping

The GEOFOR editorial board asked Paul Craig Roberts, Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy (USA), a PhD in Economics and US Undersecretary of Treasury in the Reagan administration, to give his assessment of the prospects for confrontation between Israel and Hamas, the likelihood of war between the United States and Iran, as well as the future of BRICS and the constitutional crisis in the US.

A massive fire is engulfing a chicken plant in Texas in yet another case of a mysterious fire affecting a food processing plant at the same time that global elites have been ramping up their calls for the world to give up meat consumption.
The fire broke out at Feather Crest Farms, which is east of the city of Kurten, Texas and around 100 miles outside of Houston. Shortly afterward, Bryan Texas Utilities announced that they would be cutting off service to 140 customers to ensure firefighters’ safety as they respond to the massive fire. This is a strong indication of just how big the fire is and how extensive the damage could be once firefighters get it under control.

A recent development in COMEX silver futures positioning has been unusual enough that I didn’t detect it at first, because it has been somewhat gradual. Over the past five reporting weeks, from the COT report as of Dec 19, 2023 to the most recent report as of January 23, 2024, the number of long traders in the Other Large Reporting Traders category has increased by 29 traders, from 49 to 78 traders – which I believe is both the largest increase and largest number of long traders in this category ever.

The question is: Whose ideas must the global population submit to in order for there to be world peace?
