Syria’s Assad Breaks Silence Since Fleeing to Russia, Says He Wanted to Stay and Fight
Bashar al-Assad said he stayed until he was trapped on a Russian military base that was under intense attack.
This Week in the World Affairs Brief
THE FALL OF THE ASSAD REGIME
The fall of Syria is a complex and convoluted story that cannot be unraveled except by those on the inside of the Israeli, US and Turkish Deep States that control most of these terror groups in Syria. Virtually all of the Middle East pundits will be forced to base their opinions on the prepared propaganda reports of these manipulators of terror. For example, I just read a piece by Elijah Magnier on the claimed background and history of terror leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the de-facto leader of the HST main faction of the Syria opposition that just overthrew the Assad regime. It reads like a CIA made-up resume—way too much detail. No terrorist like al Jolani, who has lived in the shadows for years and moved from one terrorist group to another (depending on who has more arms and money), is going to leave such a detailed history for someone to publish. There’s no record keeping of this type anywhere in the terrorist world, unless a terrorist is being groomed and tracked by the Deep State. In that case it is all invented to paint the desired narrative of an extremist that has somehow become more “moderate” in order to be able to control all these disparate factions in Syria. But even though the leaders of al Qaeda and ISIS were recruited and trained by the Israeli Mossad, the Deep State still has trouble controlling the individual jihadist factions they imported from Tunisia and Libya, who can’t be told that they are really part of a phony war on terror. And, because this agenda must remain hidden, (and confusing to individual terrorists), the various groups keep splintering apart and reforming into new groups. That said, the major invasion into central Syria by several coordinated groups was clearly orchestrated at the highest levels in coordination with Deep State allies like Turkey and Israel.

Secret communist structures, left behind in Eastern Europe by Moscow, have continued to function – have continued to struggle, to battle their way through cunning and chicanery to ultimate power.
Overnight Israeli Strike In Syria So Large It Caused Earthquake
Days ago Israel began warning that it will use large bunker buster munitions to begin destroying the former Syrian Army's underground missile and weapons storehouses. This has begun in the overnight hours, with Israeli warplanes pummeling air defense systems and ammunition depots in Damascus and the coastal city of Tartous, near where a Russian naval base is located. The strike on Tartous resulted in the single biggest explosion seen in Syria in years, unleashing a fireball and mushroom cloud so large it led to quick speculation it could have been a tactical nuke (which widespread reports are denying).
What’s Next After Vermont Supreme Court Ruling Against Parents Whose 6-Year-Old Was Vaccinated Without Consent?
In 2021, Vermont public school officials assured the parents of a 6-year-old that their son would not get a COVID-19 vaccine at the school’s clinic. But the clinic vaccinated him anyway. The parents sued the school, but the state’s Supreme Court ruled that school officials were immune from liability under the PREP Act.

Here’s How to Deport More Than 10 Million People
Ries believes there are five keys to closing the border and deporting more than 10 million people. “Illegal aliens want five things when they come here: They want to enter; they want to remain; they want to work here; they want to send money home; and they want to bring or have family here. And so if you prevent those five things, then they are either not going to come or go elsewhere,” she told me.

Lawsuit against FBI for ‘Kneel Team Six’ scandal reveals just how deep the FBI's support of BLM went in 2020
a lawsuit from the Heritage Foundation's Project Oversight Committee has since uncovered that their kneeling had nothing to do with de-escalation at all. In fact, they weren’t just kneeling. They were kneeling “in a celebratory manner,” “pumping their fists,” “cheering,” and were “basically part of the riot.”
The FBI Agents Association rewarded agents who took a knee in front of BLM, proving the rot isn’t just at the top
FBI executive management lauded on-duty agents who knelt before Black Lives Matter protesters at the height of the George Floyd unrest and riots for their “de-escalation” efforts, The Washington Times recently reported. A whistleblower said the counterterrorism special agent in charge of the Washington, DC, field office even hugged each of them after the June 4, 2020, incident. While not all the “presence patrol” agents assigned to the scene — which included the Supreme Court and the National Archives — “took a knee” in a show of solidarity or an act of cowardice and capitulation, at least seven did.

Separating Myth from Fact in the Pearl Harbor Attack (1941)
It seems as though few want to admit that not only did FDR has some vague inkling that the attack was coming, or that perhaps he mildly encouraged the Japanese attack, but that he actually planned it and actively worked for it to happen. No one wants to believe that an American President as revered as Roosevelt could be so subversive, invidious and just downright evil as the evidence says quite clearly and plainly.
San Diego Sheriff 'Will Not' Comply With New 'Super Sanctuary' Protections For Illegals

Extremist groups carry out revenge, sectarian killings in HTS-controlled Syria
Al Mayadeen reports on 10 December that a video circulating on social media shows armed militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Al-Qaeda offshoot that took control of Damascus on Saturday, carrying out field executions of unarmed men in the village of Al-Rabia in the countryside of Latakia. The militants referred to the men as ‘Shabiha’, a derogatory term long used to describe pro-government Syrian soldiers and civilians.

Why the Great Depression Lasted So Long: Amity Shlaes on Economic Policy Blunders
A decade of misery Americans experienced did not stem from an angry God. A careful reading of the facts of the period suggests they stemmed from bad economic policies, ones initially passed by President Hoover that grew worse under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a highly readable Explainer, Shlaes illustrates the economic mistakes of the Great Depression — which famously included government slaughtering and burying 6.5 million pigs to keep prices high while millions of Americans were going hungry — were even more nonsensical than you realized.
France Is Sending Mirage 2000 Fighters to Battle Russia
So, the airplane is fine. It will just come down to how well and how quickly the Ukrainians can train on the new jet. They are used to flying Soviet-era airplanes. The Mirage 2000 models will be different, and the aviators may not be ready until next summer. By then, the war could be wrapping up, and hopefully, there will be a cease-fire in 2025. The Mirage 2000 export to Ukraine should be considered a good idea. I am concerned with training pilots, maintenance crews, and weapons loaders. It takes an extensive team to operate a fighter jet properly.

Damascus Now Ruled By 'Al Qaeda In Suits' As Assad Emerges In Moscow
Will the country hopelessly fracture as did Iraq and Libya for years after their strongman leaders were overthrown? Will there be mass reprisal killings? Will Christians, Alawites, and Shia be subject to mass persecution and extermination? Will the country, which has already been through over 13 years of horrific proxy war, descend into sectarian and factional chaos and hell? Will Sharia law be enforced by gunpoint? Or will some semblance of a stable transitional government emerge?

Netanyahu Says Israeli Forces Secured Buffer Zone in Golan Heights After Syria’s Assad Toppled

Republicans Down to the Wire With a Temporary Zero-Seat Majority
The process of holding special elections to fill vacancies in the districts of Waltz, Stefanik, and Gaetz will begin after they formally terminate their membership in the House. While each represents a heavily Republican seat, there is no guarantee that Republicans will win those races. If Democrats prevail in these special elections—or in any others that arise during the 119th Congress—they could solidify the zero-seat majority that leaves the GOP with no margin for defections.
