When Israeli forces examined Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's body after killing him in a surprise ground operation on Thursday, they discovered several curious items, including grenades, an assault rifle, nearly $11,000 in cash, and a passport belonging to an employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.Those items, experts told the Washington Free Beacon, suggest Sinwar may have been attempting to flee the embattled Gaza Strip when Israeli forces stumbled upon him inside a house in the territory's Rafah neighborhood, Hamas's stronghold along the border with Egypt...The presence of an UNRWA passport in Sinwar's belongings is another blow to...

Casey Wright 🥖🎪 @503i7 BREAKING Joe Biden’s FBI just raided Scott Ritter’s residence. The video on the right explains the proximate reason for this. The State Department funds Ukraines “kill list” of “information terrorists” and Scott has topped that list many times.

The FBI is searching the Delmar home of ex-UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter in connection with a federal investigation. A NewsChannel 13 photographer captured video of agents searching and taking pictures of both cars at the property on Dover Drive. Agency spokeswoman Sarah Ruane confirmed that they were searching the home, but would not provide details on the investigation – per standard policy.

New Zealand codifies forced injections in martial law ‘Pandemic Plan’.. Under the skin is the final authoritarian frontier; as many have noted before, if you don’t have control over what is injected into your body, you don’t have freedom in any meaningful sense of the word. If the Kiwis aren’t rioting in the streets of Auckland at this very moment, if this isn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back — either because the information space in New Zealand is so tightly controlled that they don’t know what their government is doing to them or because they are too psychologically/spiritually...

Guest post by Jeffery Rainforth I got to the border in Jacumba, California, almost 3 weeks ago. I’ve been camping right where the Border Patrol picks up large groups in the early morning hours. Shortly after I arrived, I had encountered about 5 large groups of illegal aliens. Like Lukeville, AZ, where I spent 7 weeks camped out from Oct. to Dec. in 2023, this place has people coming in illegally from around the world. In Lukeville, about half of the illegals were from Islamic-majority nations in Africa. In Jacumba, what I’m seeing is that a large number of the...

The French penchant for bureaucracy has been roundly mocked after British paratroopers were met by clipboard-carrying officials as they landed in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Footage shows troops being forced to join a Kafkaesque queue in a farmer’s field to show passports and documents to waiting customs officers as soon as they touched down. Politicians and the public pointed out the absurdity of British soldiers being made to show their papers on the 80th anniversary of the day they launched the liberation of France from the Nazis. Former cabinet minister David Jones told MailOnline that France only...

The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday. Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated. “I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT. “They pulled my bags off the plane, then escorted me out of the airport. They kept...

A Massachusetts woman has been charged with trespassing, assault on a court officer and disorderly conduct and is now facing jail time after trying to enter the State House without showing proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Michelle Efendi, a 37-year-old mother of four, could spend six months behind bars after her non-violent attempt to get into the State House in Boston. The incident took place shortly after the State House reopened to the public following its COVID-19 closure. She explained the reason for her visit to radio host Dr. Drew Pinsky, saying: “I wanted to meet my elected officials. No one...

We live in an environment of complete and utter lawlessness. When predators boldly roam the streets without fear but good people are literally afraid to leave their own homes, that is clearly a sign that our societal collapse has reached a very advanced stage. Even in the rare instances when they are actually caught and convicted, our system will still often allow violent criminals to go free. For example, a woman in California that was convicted of stabbing her boyfriend more than 100 times was given a sentence that didn’t include even a single day in prison… The family of...

By 2030, the European Union expects 80% of its citizens to opt for a digital passport.. For the first time, a nation is allowing travelers to cross its border with a digital passport on their smartphone instead of a physical passport. While the trial is happening in Finland, the European Union wants at least 80% of citizens in the 27-country bloc to be using a digital ID by 2030. The pilot program, which started at the end of August, is available only to Finnish citizens. It is running at Helsinki Airport as a partnership between Finnair, airport operator Finavia and...

The corrupt DA in Colorado claims gold star mom Tina Peters is a flight risk. Tina Peters is a gold-star mom and the subject of the film “Selection Code“. “[S]ELECTION CODE follows the story of Tina Peters the County Clerk in Mesa Colorado, who made a backup of her counties Dominion Voting System server, only to stumble across evidence of manipulation in a recent local city council election…. and also the 2020 general election. Tina’s discovery ignites a chain reaction upending her life. And upending the world.” She refused to illegally delete files from her voting machines after the 2020...

Seeking a valid U.S. passport for that 2023 trip? Buckle up, wishful traveler, for a very different journey before you step anywhere near an airport. A much-feared backup of U.S passport applications has smashed into a wall of government bureaucracy as worldwide travel rebounds toward record pre-pandemic levels — with too few humans to handle the load. The result, say aspiring travelers in the U.S. and around the world, is a maddening pre-travel purgatory defined, at best, by costly uncertainty. With family dreams and big money on the line, passport seekers describe a slow-motion agony of waiting, worrying, holding the...

Yesterday, globalists at the European Union and World Health Organization unveiled a “landmark digital health partnership” to “facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats.” We’re promised, moreover, that “This first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network…will… deliver better health for all.” Actually, what you’ll get with this “health partnership” is international aggregation of your personal data, surveillance, control and abuse. Even before that dark day arrives, as Dr. Robert Malone has pointed out, bureaucrats in the “Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” have already launched...

Apart from the extreme limitations on personal freedom and travel, this means either a colder, hungrier population or massive depopulation. Two days ago I posted what I thought would be quite an innocuous twitter thread about the implications of the U.K. government’s target of “net zero” by 2050. Reminder of what ‘net zero’ really means. ... Key points: all airports except Heathrow, Belfast & Glasgow to close by 2030. NO FLYING at all by 2050. No new petrol/diesel cars by 2030; by 2050 road use restricted to 60% of today’s level. 2. Food, heating and energy restricted to 60% of...

Under this new digital currency, any transfer of funds to family, friends, charities, or clients would be able to be tracked by the nation's central bank that issued this virtual money. Big Brother will be in your wallet every hour or every day. You will not be able to buy a stick of gum without a Federal Reserve computer knowing where, when, and to whom you just put down a buck. We should be rightfully concerned about inflation, energy independence, aggressor nations armed with nuclear weapons, and woke public policies that denigrate the very foundation of this great country. But...

The concept of introducing identity cards has long been the subject of contentious debate. During his tenure as prime minister, Sir Tony Blair attempted to introduce an ID card scheme, which was ultimately abandoned by the coalition government. .. In a joint proposal, Sir Tony Blair and Lord Hague have urged for the implementation of digital ID cards across the United Kingdom, citing the need for a "technological revolution". The former leaders of the Labour and Conservative parties highlight in a report that government records continue to be rooted in a bygone era. The concept of introducing identity cards has...

We are going to need a new industry that simply spends its time fact-checking the so-called “fact-checkers.” That’s the story after a new landmark study published in The Lancet offered vindication to everyone who touted natural immunity to COVID-19 as an alternative to vaccination. For years, the powers that be, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House, and the press, dismissed the idea of taking natural immunity into account when debating vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. They were wrong, so much so that even the mainstream media are having to admit it. ... This study also puts to rest another...

Leaders of the Group of 20 (G-20) have issued a joint declaration promoting a global standard on proof of vaccination for international travel and calling for the establishment of “global digital health networks” that build on existing digital COVID-19 vaccine passport schemes. The joint statement followed the conclusion of the G-20 summit held in Bali, Indonesia, where leaders discussed global challenges and coordinating policies in response, including to future pandemics. “We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, under the framework of the IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital...

Consumer gas bills will go up 2.9% in November under an Xcel rate increase ... Adding utility rate increases one on top of another is called “pancaking” and Wednesday Colorado regulators tossed another flapjack on the stack, granting Xcel Energy a $64.2 million increase in gas rates. The increase in the basic rate follows increases in gas rates for rising fuel prices this year and to cover $500 million in costs due to a winter cold snap in 2021 that sent fuel prices soaring. The rate hike granted by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission will increase the average residential bill...
