    Landmark Research Reveals the Origins of Multiple Sclerosis

    Scientists found that MS began to spread globally through the migration of livestock herders in Eastern Europe 5,000 years ago.

    Is the reason for the deep state to start bombing the Houthis because the Houthis were only targeting Jewish owned ships, not every ship going to Europe?

    By bombing the Houthis, now more ships have to avoid going through the Suez canal!

    US, UK strikes on Houthis in Yemen: Live updates

    12 January 2024

    17:30 GMT
    Former US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the US-UK airstrikes on Houthi militias in Yemen, slamming Joe Biden on his Truth Social platform as “the worst president in the history of the United States.”

    “Now we have wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen, but no ‘war’ on our Southern Border,” Trump said. The former president has previously advocated treating surging immigration at the US border as a “war.”

    He also hit out at US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for “running the war from his laptop in a hospital room,” referring to news this week that Austin had kept his cancer diagnosis from the White House and later ordered dozens of strikes in Yemen from his hospital bed, according to CNN.

    16:50 GMT
    Mass protests have broken out in Yemen. Tens of thousands have taken to the streets of the capital Sanaa and several other cities across the country to express their anger after the American and British strikes on their country.

    “Your strikes on Yemen are terrorism,” Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council said, addressing the crowd. “The United States is the Devil.”

    16:09 GMT
    The US-UK strikes had “good effects,” according to Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder, adding that the two nations’ militaries will monitor the situation.

    According to the official, Washington currently has no plans to send additional troops to the region.

    “Our initial assessment is that we had good effects,” Ryder told CNN. “We will continue to monitor and as the president and [Defense] Secretary Austin have said, we will continue to take necessary action.”

    13:19 GMT
    US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered and oversaw the overnight strikes on dozens of Houthi-related targets in Yemen from a hospital bed “with a full suite of secure communications,” CNN has reported, citing an anonymous senior Pentagon official. The American defense chief was hospitalized on January 1 for complications after prostate cancer surgery, keeping President Joe Biden and Congress in the dark about his condition for days.

    10:50 GMT
    Russia condemns the “illegitimate” airstrikes on Yemen by the US and UK, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has said. He stressed that the UN Security Council Resolution, which had been adopted on Thursday and called on the Houthis to stop targeting Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea, didn’t give Washington and London the right to carry out the attack. Russia abstained during the vote on the document, Peskov reminded reporters.

    The US and UK “tried to bring their actions under an international legal framework, but they failed. From the point of view of the international law, these strikes are illegitimate,” the spokesman stressed.

    As for the Houthi attack on commercial vessels, Moscow “repeatedly called on them to abandon this practice and consider[s] it unlawful,” Peskov said.

    09:12 GMT
    Following the American strikes on Yemen, which were carried out without congressional approval, social media users have been sharing a previous post from US President Joe Biden on X (formerly Twitter), in which he attacked Donald Trump for a similar move.

    The message in question was published on January 6, 2020, a few days after top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

    “Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval. A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people,” Biden insisted at the time.

    Republican and Democratic lawmakers have criticized the attacks against the Houthis in Yemen, arguing that the president violated the US Constitution by ordering them unilaterally.

    The IDF lies like dogfaced pony soldiers.

    Their losses are much higher than they report.

    Every double tap RGP Hamas hits and IDF tank or armored vehicle causes at least a fire if not a secondary explosion. By and large the IDF are not using infantry to guard and accompany the tanks because they are pussies and don’t want to take the enormous personnel losses that intense urban combat produces. Ask the Nazis at Stalingrad about taking urban rubble landscapes. Super high losses.

    The IDF, for political reasons and because they are basically reservists not trained in intense urban combat can’t protect their armor.

    As soon as an IDF tank is hit and catches fire, hamas can gun down the escaping tank crew.

    If another tank comes to cover the first escaping tank crew, Hamas will destroy the second tank, ad infinitum…

    PASSIVE VOICE The military aid Washington has been providing Kiev has come to a halt, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday. 

    QUIETLY Committee staff quietly met with lawyers

    Well then it’s A-okay when a scholar predicts it

      scholar, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who Isaiah Berlin called the conscience of Israel, warned that, “If Israel did not separate church and state, it would give rise to a corrupt rabbinate that would warp Judaism into a fascistic cult

      He foresaw that, “The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews, the administrators, inspectors, officials and police, mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 million to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret police state.”

    Impossible to restore peace to the Red Sea via military means: Global Times editorial
    By Global Times
    Published: Jan 12, 2024

    The air strikes took place exactly one day after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution regarding the situation in the Red Sea, giving the impression that the UN resolution gave the green light for the US and UK actions. It must be pointed out that this is an illusion. The US and the UK may have deliberately created and strengthened this illusion, but it is far from the truth. The resolution was proposed by the US and Japan and passed with a vote of 11 in favor to none against, with four abstentions. It demanded “that the Houthis immediately cease all such attacks, which impede global commerce and undermine navigational rights and freedoms as well as regional peace and security.” Russia, China, Algeria and Mozambique abstained from the vote.
    The Red Sea is an important international trade channel for goods and energy, and its stability is related to the common interests of the international community. China emphasized that “No country should misinterpret or abuse relevant provisions in this resolution to create new tensions in the Red Sea.” Unexpectedly, what China was worried about became a reality the next day. After the attack, some US allies in the Middle East, including Jordan and Oman, expressed concern that the situation might get out of control. Yemen’s neighbor Saudi Arabia also called for avoiding escalation of the situation. There is also a lot of opposition in the US. Nabeel Khoury, former deputy chief of mission at the US embassy in Yemen, said on X (formerly Twitter), “US/UK bombing campaign in Yemen is another failure of Biden diplomacy.”

    The current situation in the region is dire. A cease-fire between Palestine and Israel has not yet been achieved, and the spillover conflict in the Red Sea is further escalating and expanding. The Supreme Political Committee of the Houthi armed forces of Yemen claimed that all “interests” of the US and Britain are now “legitimate targets.” Retaliation and harassment against the US and the UK will start another cycle of attacks, and multiple spillover conflicts are possible. In short, the possibility of the situation deteriorating has increased and deepened, and this outcome requires all parties to do their best to avoid it.

    It needs to be said that the development of the situation to this point has been both accidental and inevitable. It is the US that has pushed the situation to the current stage step by step according to its own style and behavioral logic. The skewed stance of the US in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to the conflict becoming protracted and caused spillovers. When dealing with Middle East issues, which are intertwined with contradictions and have complex historical latitudes, the US’ strategy is thoughtless, even crude.

    Johns Hopkins Rescinds DEI Memo Calling White, Christian, English-Speaking People ‘Privileged’

    So the the January 2024 memo was sent Dr. Sherita Golden, Johns Hopkins Medicine’s chief diversity officer and a professor of medicine, who listed “privilege” as the “diversity word of the month.”

    (I’ve clubbed my ‘inner political correctness’ to death with a baseball bat)

    Black Twat looks like a dude in drag, maybe it is.

    .

    End Wokeness

    John Hopkins just sent out this hit list of people automatically guilty of “privilege” whether they know it or not:

    -Males
    -Whites
    -Christians
    -Mid-aged people
    -Able-bodied people
    -Middle & owning class
    -English-speaking people

    This message was emailed directly to employees from the DEI Office.

    .

    .

    The post on X went viral — viewed more than 29 million times in the span of 24 hours — and was widely ridiculed.

    The top comment stated: (affirmative action NOT merit)

    “Black female Chief Diversity Officers are more privileged than nearly everyone covered under that list.

    They’re paid far more than the average middle class person, and they have the privilege of being hired and treated above criticism because of their race and sex.”

    The post even prompted a reaction from Elon Musk, who stated:

    “This must end!”

    Global shipping rates surge amidst US, UK airstrikes on Yemen
    By
    Al Mayadeen
    Meanwhile, the shipping rate for containers bound for the US West Coast experienced a substantial 43.2% surge, reaching $3,974 per forty-foot-equivalent-unit (FEU) on a weekly basis.
    Earlier this month, a report by Bloomberg revealed a staggering 173% increase in the spot price for container shipping driven by disruptions caused by the Yemeni resistance in the Red Sea.

    Freightos.com data indicates that the spot rate for shipping a 40-foot container from Asia to northern Europe surpassed $4,000 in mid-December, prompting concerns across the industry.

    Freightos reported on Wednesday that shipping costs from Asia to the Mediterranean soared to $5,175, with carriers hinting at prices exceeding $6,000 for this route starting in mid-January.

    Simultaneously, rates from Asia to North America’s East Coast experienced a 55% surge, reaching $3,900 for a 40-foot container.

    “Privilege has nothing to do with being born a White Male Christian or even speaking English as your native language.

    The secret to success is displaying an inclination to learn, staying sober, and showing up every day. It’s not all that difficult and most people are willing to help along the way.

    When these affirmative action types run out of excuses for repeated failures, their only available option is to blame other’s accomplishments on being born into privilege.

    Illegal aliens are in the USA illegally, they are breaking the law, they are felons, yet they get to vote in some states while felons in jail do not get to vote? So felons on the run – illegal entry is a felony – get to vote but the ones who have been caught and locked up do not get to vote? Clown world USA.

    Tanks in urban warfare

    This is a Ukronazi tank that gets ”double tapped” out on the steppes.

    But it illustrates what happens after the first RGP hits a tank and starts a fire.

    This Ukro tank commander chose to save himself. In a urban setting he would have been picked off.

    It also illustrates what happens if the tank crew remains after the first RGP

    Hamas is killing a lot of tank crews

    But they told us autism had nothing to do with vaccines, so what the hell. You see, they have been lying to you forever, including all that holocaust shite that they used to take their revenge on the nazi leaders and then the Palestinians.

    You should never even consider trusting the government, your government has no integrity. Anybody who answers to your government – through a licence to practice – is also compromised, including your doctor, your lawyer, your accountant, your builder etc. They will all give you bad advice if they are required to by government, they will all “fix” stuff that does not need fixing, in order to please government.

    No surprise that vaccines cause autism, just look at the increase in childhood vaccines and the parrallel increase in autism, what else is causing it? No, they won’t tell you what else is causing it because they want you to keep taking the vaccines, instead they demonise anyone who poses the question.

    Although some older vaccines have been very successful, newer vaccines are now just another gravy train offering us nothing. Considering how vaccines bypass so many of your natural defences, it is amazing that they are released with so little testing and basically zero follow up; where are the control groups for long-term vaccine studies? Despised, they are the bad antivaxxers.

    Learned a very interesting fact. C/o Col. Valadimir Trukhan – Black Mountain

    Russian made S-300 type Air defense missiles need to be updated every 10 years or so. If they are not updated then the first and second stage rockets can (partly or fully) fail. (Assuming the issue is solid rocket fuel degrading over time). Most Ukrainian S-300 missiles were likely not updated in last 10 years.

    Most remaining Ukrainian air defense missiles are now located around the major Ukrainian cities to try and protect industrial military production facilities.

    This might explain the high numbers of Ukrainian fired S-300 missiles crashing into local civilian city buildings.
