"Emboldened by the US ouster of Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro, the Trump administration is searching for Cuban government insiders who can help cut a deal to push out the Communist regime by the end of the year." read more


The Justice Department seized two mission crew trainers (MCTs) that were interdicted in transit from the Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA) to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). The mission crew trainers (MCTs) are mobile classrooms intended to assist the PLA to train personnel on the use of airborne warning and control systems and antisubmarine warfare (ASW) aircraft.

These actions, together with previous arson attacks and a large-scale disinformation campaign, fly in the face of the ruling in October by the International Court of Justice, which restated that Israel is obliged under international law to facilitate UNRWA's operations, not hinder or prevent them. The court also stressed that Israel has no jurisdiction over East Jerusalem. There can be no exceptions. This must be a wake-up call. What happens today to UNRWA will happen tomorrow to any other international organization or diplomatic mission, whether in the Occupied Palestinian Territory or anywhere around the world. International law has come under increasing attack for too long and is risking irrelevancy in the absence of response by Member States. read more

"The House Oversight Committee voted to advance two resolutions to the House floor recommending that Bill and Hillary Clinton be found in contempt of Congress.

Both votes were bipartisan. The Bill Clinton resolution passed 34-8 and the Hillary Clinton resolution passed 28-15."

Too bad USAG Merrick "the Meek" Garland sat on the damaging Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell FBI files from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025.

Imagine what SC Jack Smith, or other prosecutors and civil litigants, could have done with that treasure trove of Credible Derogatory Information (CDI) on Dummkopf Trumpf.


The ICC indicted and issued international arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin (17 Mar 2023) and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (21 Nov 2024) for alleged war crimes against the Ukrainian and Palestinian people.

Public visitors to the INTERPOL website are unable to view the RED NOTICES issued for these two mass murderers. These ALERTS are only visible to government security agencies and border checkpoints.

Both of these monsters are buddies with Dummkopf Trumpf who sanctioned the ICC for having the audacity to rightfully indict these two sociopaths.

Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, both defendants must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt in an international tribunal to be held for them at the Hague at a future date.

"I think we have a problem, because I think we're going to probably end up in another Democrat shutdown," Dummkopf Trumpf whined on TV tumor Maria Bartiromo's Faux News program. "The [prior] shutdown cost us a lot, and I think they'll probably do it again. That's my feeling. We'll see what happens," he sniveled.

Lawmakers in the House and the Senate have until 30 Jan to avoid a government shutdown. So far, they have passed six out of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government. Last week, the House passed an additional two-bill package known as a minibus that would fund the State Department and the Treasury Department. Senators will take that minibus up after they come back from their recess next week.

So far, there appears to be little appetite among Democrats for another shutdown.

However, the DHS appropriations bill has become a significant point of contention between both parties.

Democrats in the House and the Senate have called for an overhaul of ICE after Jonathan Ross killed an unarmed woman in cold blood in Minneapolis. Democrats say they will oppose the DHS bill unless it includes tougher oversight and conduct guidelines for ICE officers.

The last government shutdown began at the start of October and lasted 43 days. That shutdown was over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The ICE Sturmabteilung will probably be funded through budgetary chicanery in the event of a shutdown.

The potential government shutdown won't affect the Trumpf junta from sending hardworking American taxpayer dollars to the Israeli Death Forces (IDF).

US aid to Israel is classified under security-related funding, which is often exempt from shutdown-related freezes. Junta apparatchiks have confirmed that all funding to Israel remains unaffected during these shutdown periods, ensuring that lethal military aid continues to be used to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank of Palestinians.

Thousands of Canadians volunteered to serve with the US military doing the Vietnam War and hundreds died.
Ottawa did not prohibit them or make it illegal:

Hundreds of Canadians died serving with Americans in Pashtunistan. And ISAF sent them to the teeth of the Taliban: Kandahar.

Meanwhile Dummkopf Trumpf dodged the draft during Vietnam, slept through class in college, and chased girls.

"The Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA) masquerades as a civilian flight-training academy when in fact it is a significant enabler of the Chinese air and naval forces and a pipeline for transferring NATO aviation expertise, operational knowledge, and restricted technology directly to the People's Liberation Army."

"The MCTs' layout was modelled after the P-8 Poseidon, which is manufactured by Boeing and serves as the US' primary anti-submarine warfare maritime patrol aircraft. The MCTs were designed to run software specially designed by TFASA for Project Elgar. The software used a basic flight simulator program designed and marketed by a US company, which TFASA software engineers then enhanced using technical data relating to Western anti-submarine warfare aircraft, including the P-8 Poseidon. Former NATO aviators with training in anti-submarine warfare techniques were part of TFASA's Project Elgar team."

"This interdiction is the latest instance implicating TFASA in its role as a primary trainer of the PLA. In June 2023, the Department of Commerce added TFASA and numerous of its subsidiaries and affiliates in South Africa and elsewhere to the Entity List "for providing training to Chinese military pilots using Western and NATO sources," which the Department of Commerce noted was "contrary to US national security and foreign policy interests."

Former USMC pilot Daniel Duggan appealed his extradition from Australia to the US over allegations that he illegally trained Chinese military aviators more than a decade ago. Duggan is accused of training Chinese military pilots while working as an instructor for the Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA) in 2012.

China has the third most powerful military in the world according to the Global Firepower Index (GFI). Besides spending money on R & D, Beijing also steals technology at an industrial scale, saving them billions of dollars in costs. Treacherous collaborators and spies in the West are selling out their countries and fellow soldiers for 30 pieces of silver in the event of a future conflict with China over Taiwan, Japan, the Koreas, or the Philippines.
