Israel's fairytale of a defence flounders at Hague hearing
With just two more days to follow in January, almost a twelfth of 2024 has already passed… but, after 114 days of continuous bombing, Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza shows no sign of abating, despite last Friday’s United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Jerusalem has just one month to convince the judges its actions in Gaza do not amount to genocide.

FAR FROM HOME
Once upon a time, there was a group of students who were on a science trip to a remote jungle. Their guide was leading them through the dense vegetation, but suddenly he stopped and looked around, puzzled. The students could tell something was wrong.

Peru-Ecuador War Explained
October 7th (Lima, Peru) — In a joint press release, the United States Supervisors of Foreign Relations and Safety and Security announced a nearly $250 million sale of military-grade weapons and equipment to Peru to be used as part of the country's ongoing war effort with ModRE in Ecuador. This action takes place despite growing domestic and international criticism about how Peru has been conducting their retaliatory mission after ModRE paramilitary forces undertook a surprise storm attack across the border that resulted in the systematic slaughter, rape, and defilement of thousands of unprepared Peruvians and surrounding property. Hundreds of mostly civilians were also taken captive and are still being held within Ecuadorian territory.

Chatham House spin class aims to keep war machine on course
After three months of a relentless ethnic-cleansing campaign and the biggest load of nonsense ever spoken at a United Nations' International Court of Justice hearing there’s just one question you need to ask yourself: “How would Israel have gone about trying to defend its genocide in Gaza at the ICJ hearing in The Hague last week had it not been for the preposterous false-flag incursion it staged across the most closely-monitored border on the planet on 7 October last year.”

Globalist plan to turn genocide in Gaza into worldwide conflict
Tomorrow marks the second Saturday of 2024 and after three months of incessant bombing the likes of Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer are still yet to show any sign of a conscience or hint of remorse as they continue to condone Israel’s campaign of genocidal ethnic-cleansing in Gaza and just last night a coalition force involving United Kingdom and United States gunships saw fit to escalate the situation by attacking sites in Yemen, claimed to be Houthi military targets.

Azerbaijani Control of Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijan has demonstrated how military force achieves more than words in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. As a result of Azerbaijan’s military assault, tens of thousands of Karabakh Armenians have fled to Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh looks set to come under Baku’s full control. No one has been able to halt this process, including Armenia. But this does not mean that the South Caucasus will now experience a period of peace.

Ukraine’s allies fall short of Russia’s on arms help, raising 2024 risks
In March of this year, Ukraine asked its European allies for a quarter of a million shells a month. Its full battle plan, then-Defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov said, required at least 350,000. Ukraine was then rationing itself to just 110,000 a month and needed Europe to help make up the difference.

When families across the United Kingdom sit down to their Christmas feasts tomorrow, more than likely they will do so accompanied by traditional festive anthems by artists such as Slade, Wizzard, the Pogues, Darkness, Mud, Boney M, Paul McCartney and Chris Rea, but the song that’s at the top of the charts for the season of goodwill this year is already a huge favourite, although it’s taken 39 years to get to the top of the hit parade.

Political Standings Not Withstanding
A Message of Unity in Modern Political Division Across the United States, the country is divided by political views and beliefs. The level of division that currently exists in 2023, in fact, has not been seen in many decades, maybe even centuries. It could be argued that the USA has not been this divided since the days leading up to the civil war.
