"HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS IN THE UK. THE NEXT FEW MONTHS ARE GOING TO GET UGLY."
Sasha Yanshin: UK House Prices fell by 2.1% in November, but data indicates this is just the start of a bigger collapse. With average monthly mortgage payments going up 40% to 50% and high inflation, people can't afford to buy homes resulting in a 20% drop in house sales. And a lot of different data suggests that this mortgage crisis is only just getting started.

"The people of Europe stand with the people of Palestine and with South Africa!"
“So take note, Butcher Biden, the ancestors of the Ireland that you claim to be from disown you keep our country out of your mouth.” Irish Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Clare Daly has criticised US President Joe Biden's support for Israel. Daly claims that despite losses on the ground, Israel refuses to admit defeat, resorting to desperate acts to incite conflicts. She accuses Biden of enabling Israeli aggression and warns him to keep Ireland out of his rhetoric. Daly also targets Ursula von der Leyen and Germany for supporting Israel in the International Court of Justice, stating, "Not in our name. The people of Europe stand with Palestine and with South Africa."

The exhaustive 84-page brief submitted by South Africa to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) charging Israel with genocide is hard to refute. Israel’s campaign of indiscriminate killing, wholesale destruction of infrastructure, including housing, hospitals and water treatment plants, along with its use of starvation as a weapon, accompanied by genocidal rhetoric from its political and military leaders who speak of destroying Gaza and ethnically cleansing the 2.3 million Palestinians, makes a strong case against Israel for genocide.
Israel’s smearing of South Africa as “the legal arm” of Hamas exemplifies the bankruptcy of its defense, a smear replicated by those who claim that demonstrations held to call for a ceasefire and protect Palestinian human rights are “anti-Semitic.” Israel, its genocide live streamed to the world, has no substantial counter argument.
But that does not mean the judges on the court will rule in South Africa’s favor. The pressure the U.S. will bring – Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called the South African charges “meritless” - on the judges, drawn from the member states of the U.N., will be intense.
Owen Jones: Could British ministers - and British civilians who fought with the Israeli Defence Forces - face prosecution for aiding and abetting Israel's war crimes? A new legal case has been launched - including a criminal complaint alleging UK government ministers' complicity in war crimes which has been lodged with the Metropolitan Police. Could this really lead someone? I speak to Tayab Ali, partner at Bindmans LLP and Head of International Law, and one of the driving forces behind the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians which is driving the case.

Tells Davos elite that their top priority should be countering "industrial-scale disinformation"...
Authored by Steve Watson: President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen addressed elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos Tuesday, calling for overarching globalist control over the flow of all information in the digital age.
“The top concern for the next two years is not conflict, or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation,” von der Leyen proclaimed, adding “The boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner, and this is even more important in the era of generative AI.”
Addressing the elite as “Excellencies,” and personally naming “dear” Klaus Schwabb in her introduction, von der Leyen further called for the development of “a new global framework for AI risks,” and a vow to “drive global collaboration” to prevent the spread of ‘misinformation’ (information they don’t want you to know about).

I'm talking about the actual atomic/molecular structures and processes of chemistry because those are totally different now if you're black.
At least, that's according to one young chemistry professor at Rice University who is teaching a new class beginning this semester called Afrochemistry, "the study of black-life matter."
As in, Black Lives Matter. Get it? I just slapped my knee so hard I kicked a hole in the front of my desk. Dr. Brooke Johnson, who earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton and now works for Rice, is quite the wit.
