The WEF in Davos last week spent much of their time laying out an energy agenda that will enrich the elites but destroy our way of life. While the West is intentionally crushing itself under sanctions, Russia and China are meanwhile solidifying a strong energy alliance that is becoming the envy of the world. The west is in real trouble.
Is this for real?
Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old father, was on his way home from taking pictures of the sky on Jan. 7, when police pulled him over. He was just a few minutes from the home he shared with his mother and stepfather, when he was brutally attacked by five Memphis police officers. He died three days later at a hospital, and the officers have since been charged with second-degree murder and other offenses. Friends and family mourning the loss of Tyre Nichols reflect on his character: 'Everyone loved him'

A Chinese spy balloon is drifting over Montana while the Biden administration says it has no plans to shoot down the aircraft.
“The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now. The balloon is currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground,” Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said Thursday, according to Reuters.
President Joe Biden agreed with advice from military leaders not to shoot down the balloon. The leaders had cautioned that the debris could be a safety threat.
“We wanted to make sure we were coordinating with civil authorities to empty out the airspace around that potential area,” Reuters quoted an official it did not name as saying.
“But even with those protective measures taken, it was the judgment of our military commanders that we didn’t drive the risk down low enough. So we didn’t take the shot,” Reuters said it was told by the official.

Defense expert John Parachini estimated the balloon was as big as three buses.
Montana has a nuclear missile silo field at Malmstrom Air Force Base, according to The Washington Post.
In a letter sent Thursday to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Sen. Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana, wrote: “The fact that this balloon was occupying Montana airspace creates significant concern that Malmstrom Air Force Base and the United States’ intercontinental ballistic missile fields are the target of this intelligence gathering mission.
“It is vital to establish the flight path of this balloon, any compromised U.S. national security assets, and all telecom or IT infrastructure on the ground within the U.S. that this spy balloon was utilizing,” the letter said, according to the Post.
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte said in a statement he was heartily sick of Chinese intrusions.
“From the spy balloon to the Chinese Communist Party spying on Americans through TikTok to CCP-linked companies buying American farmland, I’m deeply troubled by the constant stream of alarming developments for our national security,” Gianforte said, per the Post.
The New York Times said the balloon came from China across the Aleutian Islands and through northwestern Canada before reaching Montana. The Times quoted an official it did not name as saying the balloon has limited intelligence-gathering values given that China has spy satellites monitoring America.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said China was in the process of “verifying” the situation.
“I would like to emphasize that until the facts are clarified, speculation and hype will not be helpful to the proper resolution of the issue,” she said, according to Reuters.
The incident comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to China next week.
Chinese spokesman is claiming its there "due to force majeure" (a superior or irresistable force):
The People's Republic of China confirmed Friday that the balloon craft floating over the northern United States is Chinese.
"The airship is from China. It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson confirmed Friday. "Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course."
The spokesperson said China regrets the incident.
The statement continued, "The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into US airspace due to force majeure. The Chinese side will continue communicating with the US side and properly handle this unexpected situation caused by force majeure."
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
The Washington Examiner is quoting sources within the intelligence community who say the Chinese balloon floating over America from west to east is likely on a mission to collect intel that would aid the Chinese in launching an EMP attack.
It could even be a dry run of sorts.
“High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key ‘delivery platform’ for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials,” the Examiner reports, adding:
Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.
The threat of balloon-launched electromagnetic pulse attacks was warned about by a congressional EMP commission and inside the military several years ago.
I have gone on the record over the last year and a half saying that a Chinese/Russian attack on America is on the shelf and being seriously considered.
The balloon is no longer over Montana. It is now over the middle of America. Of course our military leaders act as if they are paralyzed by fear and incompetence. See video below.
After the Russia-Ukraine war broke out one year ago and the West responded in all the wrong ways, I personally was convinced that the globalists have already decided to bring World War III into being. The Chinese and their traitorous allies within the Western governments, especially the U.S., E.U., Australia and Canada, are going to launch this war and there is nothing we can do to stop them. I believe it would likely start with an EMP attack. That’s why the below article in today’s Washington Examiner is huge breaking news. The writer cites the research of the late Peter Pry, who died in August 2022 and was the world’s pre-eminent authority on EMP attacks.

High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials.
Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.
The threat of balloon-launched electromagnetic pulse attacks was warned about by a congressional EMP commission and inside the military several years ago. (This commission was chaired by Dr. Peter Pry).
In a 2015 report for the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, Air Force Maj. David Stuckenberg, one of the nation’s leading EMP experts, wrote extensively about the threat balloons carrying bombs pose to national security.
“Using a balloon as a WMD/WME platform could provide adversaries with a pallet of altitudes and payload options with which to maximize offensive effects against the U.S.,” he wrote in the report.
“A high altitude balloon could be designed, created, and launched in a matter of months. There is nothing to prevent several hundred pounds of weapons material from being delivered to altitude,” he added.
On Friday, he told Secrets, “China’s recent balloon flyover of the United States is clearly a provocative and aggressive act. It was most likely a type of dry run meant to send a strategic message to the USA. We must not take this for granted.”
Now in the private sector, Stuckenberg, a national security expert and scientist who led the Defense Department’s EMP Task Force and chairman of the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, pointed to Japan’s World War II “Project Fugo” that targeted the U.S. with balloon bombs as an example of the threat. “Not since WWII has North America faced a threat of this nature. Project FuGo in Japan used balloons to float bombs on the trade-winds across the Pacific to the U.S. and Canada,” he told Secrets.
EMP experts have warned that China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran have programs to hit the U.S. grid with electromagnetic pulse weapons that would cut the cord for a year or longer. A congressional report has warned that a blackout that long could result in millions of deaths.
Stuckenberg cited the research of the late Peter Pry, who headed a congressional commission on EMP and reported on the potential of a balloon-launched attack.
A NOAA air current model shows the China spy balloon is expected to traverse the United States heartland through the Midwest and Southern states on Friday before heading out to the Atlantic Ocean passing over the U.S. Navy base at Newport News, Virginia, via Kristinn Taylor.
Joe Biden refused to shoot down the balloon, however Secretary of State Antony Blinken cancelled a planned trip to Beijing in protest.
The NOAA Hysplit Model released this model for its trajectory on Friday afternoon.

Author and researcher Dr. Andrew Huff tweeted out a reminder on Friday that the Japanese used balloons in World War II to disseminate chemical and biological weapons.

The Fu-Go balloons were used by Japan in World War II.
Via Wikipedia.
Fu-Go was an incendiary balloon weapon (風船爆弾, fūsen bakudan, lit. “balloon bomb”) deployed by Japan against the United States during World War II. A hydrogen balloon measuring 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter, it carried a payload of two 11-pound (5.0 kg) incendiary devices plus one 33-pound (15 kg) anti-personnel bomb (or alternatively one 26-pound (12 kg) incendiary bomb), and was intended to start large forest fires in the Pacific Northwest.
Between November 1944 and April 1945, the Japanese launched about 9,300 balloons from sites on Honshu, of which about 300 were found or observed in the U.S., with some in Canada and Mexico.[1] The balloons traveled on high-altitude and high-speed currents over the Pacific Ocean, today known as the jet stream, and used a sophisticated ballast system to control altitude on their three-day flight. Despite high hopes for the operation, the bombs were largely ineffective due to damp conditions and malfunctions, causing only minor damage and six deaths (from a single civilian incident in Oregon in May 1945). The Fu-Go balloon bomb was the first weapon to possess intercontinental range, with its flights being the longest-ranged attacks in the history of warfare at the time.
But then again, it’s not like the Chinese would develop a deadly virus and spread it around the world. That would never happen. Right?

'Derelict balloon adrift!' Chinese spy balloon is flying just 7,000ft above air traffic as private jet files close encounter report in Missouri - while Pentagon probes what intelligence it could've harvested from Montana nuclear site
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...lloon.html
The Chinese spy balloon which has triggered a diplomatic crisis between Beijing and Washington was floating over Missouri on Friday afternoon - as pilots reported sightings of it just a few thousand feet above their aircraft.
Images posted by the National Weather Service in Kansas City, MO, showed an unidentified balloon flying over the state which is believed to be the Chinese surveillance device. The balloon was previously above Montana, where officials feared it could be attempting to gather intelligence on nuclear missile sites.
A report from the crew of a Cessna Citation private jet on Friday afternoon said they observed a 'derelict balloon adrift' while cruising at 43,000 feet near Kansas City. They said the balloon was floating at around 50,000 feet, which could cause safety concerns among aviation officials.
Military and defense officials previously said the balloon was floating at around 60,000 feet and doesn't pose a threat to civilians or civil aviation.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed a planned visit to China following the detection of the balloon, which Beijing has said is a civilian airship that blew off course - a claim rejected by the Pentagon.
CHINESE BALLOON FALSE FLAG
SOMETHING STRANGE IS BEING HEARD ACROSS AMERICA...
"It’s never been this close to my home.”
It was a calm Thursday night for Audrey Reynolds and Rob Quigley in their apartments in Downtown San Diego. But it all changed abruptly.
“So, I went and looked and realized it was military helicopter after military helicopter going under my balcony,” said Reynolds.
“There were about a dozen of these one after the other lights off, all black. It was scary. And the damage; I don’t know how much damage has been done to my ears. But these things were at a decibel level that was unbelievable,” Quigley said.
Earlier this week, ABC 10News was first to report that the U.S. Army would be exercising military training in different parts of San Diego until Friday.
“I would like better notice next time. I think everybody would appreciate that,” said Reynolds.
The Army’s said in a previous statement there were in part, “Safety precautions are in place to protect participants, along with planning considerations to minimize impact to the community.”
It also stated that, “This training was coordinated with appropriate officials.”
ABC 10News wanted to know who those officials were to sign off on this training.
Outside of pervious statement, as of Friday night ABC 10news hasn’t heard back from the Army regarding the training’s approval or coordination.
A member of San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria’s communications team told ABC 10News this isn’t something for them to discuss, it’s a military operation and the mayor has nothing to do with it.
San Diego Police previously said that these are pre-planned military exercises. But, after reaching back out again on Friday, we haven’t heard back from them about the approval of this training happening so close to residents.
“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh you live in San Diego you should be used to this. But it’s never been this close to my home,” said Reynolds.
“It just seems like just a simple courtesy. It’s not going to affect their military exercise,” Quigley said.
As we reported, the Army says the training for the air, ground, and combat is to give soldiers a chance to hone their skills in a realistic environment.
Update (1150ET):
Reuters confirmed "internet outages and glitches" across Italy on Sunday. The problem appears to be an "international link."
"An international interconnection problem impacting the service at the national level was detected. Analyses are underway to resolve the problem," a Telecom Italia (TIM) spokesperson said.
Italy's ANSA News agency reported there are no signs yet that hackers were responsible for the widespread outage.
Network data from NetBlocks shows widespread disruption to internet service across Italy on Sunday. It's been reported that the telecommunications blackout might stem from leading operator Telecom Italia.
NetBlocks' real-time network data shows that national connectivity plunged from around 100% to 26% this morning.
Update (1615ET):
Network data from NetBlocks shows internet across Italy has mostly been restored after more than five hours of outages.
To answer your question: No, it isn't a solution, only God's Law is the only solution. Thank you for your input.
Agreed.
God's Law is the only solution to take out all evil of all kinds and those who do satan's bidding.
God bless

A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southeast Turkey and Syria early Monday, toppling buildings and sending panicked residents pouring outside in a cold winter night. At least 195 people were killed in both countries, hundreds were injured and the toll was expected to rise. Rescue workers and residents frantically searched for survivors under the rubble of crushed buildings in multiple cities on both sides of the border. In one quake-struck Turkish city, dozens pulled away chunks of concrete and twisted metal. People on the street shouted up to others inside a partially toppled apartment building, leaning dangerously. The quake, felt as far away as Cairo, was centered north of the city of Gaziantep in an area about 90 kilometers (60 miles) from the Syrian border.
On the Syrian side of the border, the quake smashed opposition-held regions that are packed with some 4 million Syrians displaced from other parts of the country by the long civil war. Many of them live in decrepit conditions with little health care. At least 11 were killed in one town, Atmeh, and many more were buried in the rubble, a doctor in the town, Muheeb Qaddour, told The Associated Press by telephone. “We fear that the deaths are in the hundreds,” Qaddour said, referring to the rebel-held northwest. “We are under extreme pressure.”
On the Turkish side, the area has several large cities and is home to millions of Syrian refugees. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Twitter that “search and rescue teams were immediately dispatched” to the areas hit by the quake. “We hope that we will get through this disaster together as soon as possible and with the least damage,” he wrote.
There were at least 6 aftershocks, and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu urged people not to enter damaged buildings due to the risks. “Our priority is to bring out people trapped under ruined buildings and to transfer them to hospitals,” he said. Initially Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management agency said at least 76 people in seven Turkish provinces. The agency said 440 people were injured.
The death toll in government-held areas of Syria from Monday’s quake climbed to 99, according to Syrian state media citing the Health Ministry. In addition, at least 334 people were injured in Syria. Earlier, 20 people were reported killed in rebel-held areas of the war-torn country. At least 130 buildings tumbled down in Turkey’s Malatya province, neighboring the epicenter, Gov. Hulusi Sahin said. In the Turkish city of Diyarbakir, at least 15 buildings collapsed. Rescue teams called for silence as they listed for survivors in a toppled 11-story building. In northwest Syria, the opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense described the situation in the rebel-held region as “disastrous” adding that entire buildings have collapsed and people are trapped under the rubble. The civil defense urged people to evacuate buildings to gather in open areas. Emergency rooms were full of injured, said Amjad Rass, president of the Syrian American Medical Society.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 33 kilometers (20 miles) from Gaziantep, a major city and provincial capital. It was centered 18 kilometers (11 miles) deep, and a strong 6.7 aftershock rumbled about 10 minutes later. Syria’s state media reported that some buildings collapsed in the northern city of Aleppo and the central city of Hama. In Damascus, buildings shook and many people went down to the streets in fear. The quake jolted residents in Lebanon from beds, shaking buildings for about 40 seconds. Many residents of Beirut left their homes and took to the streets or drove in their cars away from buildings. The earthquake came as the Middle East is experiencing a snowstorm that is expected to continue until Thursday. Turkey sits on top of major fault lines and is frequently shaken by earthquakes. Some 18,000 were killed in powerful earthquakes that hit northwest Turkey in 1999.
