"Boycott, don't get caught!"

Telling the truth has become a revolutionary act, so let us salute those who disclose the necessary facts.

"In response to the use of American long-range weapons, Russia's
Armed Forces launched a massive strike with high-precision long-range
air- and sea-based weapons and UAVs on critical fuel and energy
infrastructure facilities in Ukraine that support the operation of the
military-industrial complex." -The Russian Defense Ministry
By Hal Turner: It began shortly after Midnight eastern US time: A large and violent attack by Russian forces against numerous targets inside Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry made clear "This is retaliation for using U.S.-supplied ATACMS against Taganrog on Dec. 11."
93 missiles and more than 200 drones showered several Ukrainian regions with warheads, plunging them in suffocating blackouts.
Word of the pending attack came around 10:00 PM eastern us time last night when as many as 8 Russian Tu-95s long-range bombers took to the air, all of them conducted a launch maneuver.
Some such attack bombers took off from as far away as Murmansk Russia, as shown on the map below:
By Jonathan Cook: The long-harboured aspirations of the US, Turkey and Israel to topple the Syrian government, mainly through their rebranded al-Qaeda allies, succeeded at lightning speed.
Damascus fell days after Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) forces under Abu Mohammad al-Jolani surprised observers by breaking out of their small north-western enclave in Syria and seizing the country’s second city, Aleppo.
Bashar al-Assad’s government and his army, it turned out, were paper tigers. Or they were, once their chief allies – Russia, Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon – had been forced onto the back foot. Preoccupied with troubles closer to home, they could no longer offer the military support Assad depended on.
Israel’s rampage across Lebanon and its military intimidation of Iran – as well as Nato’s increasing efforts to pin Russia down in Ukraine – unfroze the main battle lines in Syria, arrived at several years ago between Assad’s army, al-Qaeda’s franchise in Syria and Kurdish forces in the north-east.
Backed by Turkey, a member of NATO – and more covertly by the CIA and MI6 – HTS and the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA) were able to drive south unhindered.

Black Culture Diary: In 2024, when Dr. Apollinaire Kyamé Tambèla, Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, announced the repayment of $4.79 billion in domestic debt, the world stood still. No IMF bailout, no World Bank loans, no handouts from Western nations. It was an act of financial defiance; a bold declaration that Burkina Faso was no longer playing by the rules of the international financial system. They didn’t fall for the narrative that Africa’s poorest nations are doomed to rely on foreign aid and loans. Instead, they turned to their people and markets. In a region often defined by its dependence on Western financial support, Burkina Faso rewrote the script.
But how did this small, landlocked country; often written off as a financial basket case; manage to pull off such a monumental feat? How did Burkina Faso pay off nearly $5 billion in debt, all while navigating a volatile political and security landscape? The answer lies in a series of calculated, strategic moves that turned domestic debt into an economic lifeline.
