      🔻 Orinoco Tribune: The answers will come with time, when the dust settles. But right now, talking about treason, a coup, or negotiations is just playing into a CIA script that tries to divide Chavismo internally and its supporters worldwide.

      Of course, there were grave security issues that must be addressed—but we have to do that wisely!

      ⭕ 🇮🇷 The IRGC has begun nationwide air defense and missile defense exercises

      • 📝 The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has started large-scale nationwide exercises on missile and air defense. This was reported by Iran International.
      • 📊 During the exercises, missile launches and the operation of air defense systems were recorded in several regions of the country, including Tehran and Shiraz. The maneuvers are taking place against the backdrop of ongoing protests and a sharp escalation of rhetoric between Iran and the US in recent days.
      • 🌐 The conduct of exercises involving air defense and missile systems reinforces the factor of military demonstration in Iran. For the countries of the Persian Gulf, such activity is important in the context of the regional balance of power and the risks of escalation, which directly affect the security of airspace and energy infrastructure.

      regarding the judge at the kangaroo court:

      💠 @Middle East Spectator:
      ⭕ 🇻🇪/🇺🇸/✡️ NEW: Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s trial will be presided over by Jewish Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who was also assigned to oversee almost all 9/11 related civil lawsuits, including one in which he encouraged the families of 96 victims who questioned the failures in airline and airport security to take settlement money instead of taking the case to a public trial

      According to the New York Times, Judge Hellerstein acknowledged that this resulted in a ‘loss of information’ to the public. A trial would have exposed a large body of internal documents and depositions to public light before a jury.

      One of the victims’ families stated that Hellerstein ‘gutted the case so that the truth about what led to the events of 9/11 would never be told at trial.’

      —-

      watching the scenes of his transport, in the setting of how he humiliated them, and the court accuser promising “you will pay”, I had the thought of the lone shooter being escorted on a dark day in Dallas to rendezvous with “the avenging angel” Jack Ruby.. what are the odds he’ll make it to even the next March court date?

No wonder he started mouthing off at once about invading every undefended spot in the Cosmos, as well as the Rendezvous in Persia.

I read the very zionazi-infested country for which he lobbied to join BRICS, and which promptly refused to join after the invitation, led the charge to cancel ANY meaningful statement by the CELAC summit he convened over Venezuela. Stick a fork in CELAC, like ECOWAS and the UN..

      Washington’s methods are likely to differ from the Venezuelan scenario: instead of a military operation, political influence, particularly attempts to bribe local politicians, may be used.

      ⭕ US Expands List of Countries Requiring up to $15,000 Bond for Visa Applicants, Official Notice Shows

      🇺🇸✈️ The US State Department has added Bhutan, Botswana, the Central African Republic, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Namibia, and Turkmenistan to the list of countries whose passport holders must post bonds ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 to apply for entry into the US.

      The designations took effect on January 1, according to a notice published on the official US government website.

      👉 This brings the total to 13 countries on the list, mostly African nations, which already included Mauritania, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tanzania, The Gambia, Malawi, and Zambia.

      This move by the US Administration to make immigration more difficult adds to existing requirements such as in-person visa interviews and the disclosure of social media history, previous travel details, and personal and family living conditions.

      💰 Payment of the bond does not guarantee visa issuance, though the amount will be refunded if the visa is denied or once the holder demonstrates full compliance with all requirements, according to media reports.

      Earlier, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso have reciprocally banned visa issuance for US citizens.

      ⭕ Another Cowardly Attack on Children: Kiev [NATO] Strikes Youth Center in Russia’s Kherson Region, Governor Says

      Following the deadly New Year’s terrorist attack in Kherson, which targeted civilians—including children—Kiev carried out another strike overnight on a youth center, Vladimir Saldo said.

      “And once again, a cowardly attack was carried out during a holiday against a purely civilian facility intended for children and youth,” he stated, as Orthodox faithful in Russia are preparing to celebrate Christmas on January 7.

      Thankfully no casualties were reported, the governor noted.

      Details:

      • Last night, three low-flying drones carrying powerful explosives approached from the Sea of Azov;
      • Two were shot down by air defenses;
      • One hit the grounds of a center for gifted children and creative youth, damaging administrative buildings and residential cottages.

      This latest incident follows a deadly drone strike on New Year’s night, when civilians celebrating the holiday were targeted. The attack killed 27 people—including two minors—and injured more than 50. Authorities have opened a criminal investigation and have classified that attack as terrorism.

      ⭕ Zionism and anti semitism are both promoted by the British ruling class and have been for many decades. One of the things that has become clear with the emergence of widespread anti-zionist sentiment over the last two years is that one way the ruling class will seek to deal with this is promoting old school anti semitism. They do this because if a worker who has started to wake up to the realities of the nature the Israeli regime can be pushed down the dead end of anti semitism then that is more than acceptable for the ruling class. Someone who becomes a fascist is comparable to a blindfolded man who starts to realise he cannot see and places another piece of cloth over his eyes to help him see better. This is why you get clowns like Nick Fuentes or Dan Bilzerian be promoted in the algorithms on youtube, the ruling class want rejection of zionism to promote fascism. We must see the truth, that these are all reactionary trends and must all be rejected by class conscious workers.

      a repost – the best scene I know of with a Bus Driver. He has the most eye-popping entrance into a bank owned by the mafia. Yet he is altogether an afterthought, except for his entrance into NYC, overshadowed by the striking protagonist — an arresting villain of the entire show – visually comical and grotesque, but beneath the superficial layers a most resolute messianic narcissistic psychopathic maniac who delights in cruelty, petty showmanship and inhuman vendettas.. The Bus Driver’s screen time is quite short, cut off abruptly, by the protagonist himself.

      ⭕ 🇨🇺🇻🇪 The Cuban government reported that 32 fighters died in the line of duty in Venezuela.

      During the US attack on Venezuela, 32 Cubans who were carrying out tasks in the country were killed. This was announced by the Cuban government.

      “As a result of the criminal attack carried out by the United States government on the fraternal Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on the night of January 3, 2026, 32 Cubans who were carrying out tasks on behalf of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior at the request of the relevant authorities of the South American country were killed in combat.

      Faithful to their duties of ensuring security and defense, our compatriots honorably and heroically carried out their duty and died after fierce resistance in direct combat with the attackers or as a result of bombings of facilities,” the statement said.

      The Cuban government called these events a “new criminal act of aggression and state terrorism” and stressed that the fighters “embodied the solidarity of millions of compatriots with their heroic actions.” It also announced that it would organize appropriate events to pay tribute to them.

      Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel declared a national mourning in the country on January 5 and 6. On these days, the country’s flags in public and military institutions will be lowered. Public events have been suspended. 😡💔

      Saudi-backed forces recaptured Seiyun and Mukalla, and will likely soon begin to march on Aden, Yemen’s second largest city.
      [Much of Yemen may be outta the hands of Ansarullah, but keep in mind: (1) it is largely desert (with most fertile lands in their northern lands), and (2) it holds only 20% or so of total Yemeni population. So these are largely performative acts by infighting GCC. BTW, on map, the Yemeni land of Najran, “leased” by vehicle of yet another British Border to Saudis, is thought to have been the locale of the People of the Trench in the jewish kingdom some 1,600 – 1,700 years ago]

      • The Giants Brigades, under Al-Mahrami’s control, have taken over the Presidential palace in Aden.
      • The entire UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, despite announcing its intention to become independent just a week ago, no longer exists in any meaningful capacity, except holdouts in some governorates (including Socotra).

      ⭕ 🇾🇪🇸🇦 Coalition strikes in southern Yemen: dozens of deaths amidst an alliance split

      • 📝 In the Al-Dali province in southwestern Yemen, 20 people were killed in airstrikes by the Saudi-led Arab coalition. According to local sources, the strikes targeted forces of the Southern Transitional Council, including columns of military equipment and weapons.
      • 📊 A coalition spokesperson, Turki Al-Maliki, stated that the attacks were of a “limited preventive nature” and were carried out in coordination with the Yemeni government to prevent an escalation. According to him, the leadership of the Southern Transitional Council was transferring large forces from the Aden area towards Al-Dali. Local sources report that among the victims were women and children, which heightens the controversy surrounding the operation.
      • 🌐 The incident highlights the deepening split within the anti-Houthi camp and the growing instability in southern Yemen. For the Gulf countries, this is directly related to the security of maritime routes, control of the southern approaches to the Arabian Peninsula, and the overall architecture of regional security.

This was a job being punched through.. He looks haggard, forced, deep eye sockets, the way I used to after a 36-hour call shift! I think he well knows the shitshow that’s been stirred and that Da Good Days are over for good….

        BTW, I am glad I watched him. His maps are usually solid. I had thought she was pirated near the British Isles. However, the location he shows of the interdiction is closer to center of the Atlantic passageway. This appears part of the GIUK Gap which during the Cold War served as vital chokepoint for NATO’s antisubmarine warfare. So a stacked function message to Russkie-Bear, in addition to the piracy aggression humiliation. There have been recent NATO exercises in this area. So another dress rehearsal, in addition to messages. And this map also helps explain the rush to grab and directly control Greenland, afore da nuclear war, rather than liaison through incompetent Euros..
        Interesting how the mortifying WS all of a sudden gets pneumonia at this electric moment, leaving the floor to the Pirates

      ⭕ 🇸🇦🇦🇪 Yemeni crisis: Saudi Arabia accuses the UAE of transporting a separatist leader

      • 📝 Leading international news agencies, citing a statement by the press secretary of the Saudi-led Arab coalition, Major General Turki al-Maliki, reported that the United Arab Emirates allegedly organized the secret extraction of Aidarus al-Zubaidi, the leader of the Southern Transitional Council of Yemen, from Aden and his subsequent transfer to Abu Dhabi.
      • 📊 According to these reports, al-Zubaidi left Yemen by sea and was then transported via Mogadishu to a military base in the UAE. The accusations came amid a sharp escalation in southern Yemen: the Saudi-backed government excluded al-Zubaidi from the Presidential Council and accused him of treason, while the coalition began airstrikes on the positions of the Southern Transitional Council.
      • 🌐 Such public accusations indicate a transition of the conflict between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi into an open information phase. For the Gulf countries, this means a further erosion of coordination on the Yemeni front and an increase in the risks of destabilization along the region’s key maritime routes.

In doing so, he entangles power-hungry leaders consumed by human arrogance in a path toward destruction through their foolish actions!
      ⭕ The lack of accountability for the mistakes, violations, and crimes committed by individuals and groups, under the pretext of reconciliation and forgiveness, encourages the repetition of such actions, often in even more dangerous ways by others.

      ⭕ The recent agreements between the ruling terrorist authority in Syria and the Israeli entity, brokered by the United States in Paris, will come at a cost to the Kurds of Syria, who placed all their trust in America and relied on it!
      ⭕ The picture becomes clearer day by day, indicating that the deep state – which secretly holds and controls the reins of governance over the state and society in the United States through invisible, hidden threads – is the entity that prepared the conditions, created the atmosphere, and pushed through various means for President Donald Trump to win a second term. This occurred after the deep state perceived that the world’s greatest power was faltering and staggering, threatened by economic, financial, social, and political collapse that would relegate it to secondary status among competing global powers qualified to lead the world instead of America. This realization came after recognizing that the unrestrained printing of dollars without controls or adequate backing for its issuance could not save America from this terrifying fate looming domestically and internationally. Furthermore, America’s significant reduction in participation and contributions to international organizations, coupled with hesitancy in providing assistance within its global relationships, was yielding counterproductive results with devastating repercussions. Thus, the only viable option was to propel Trump into a second term so he could employ bullying, plunder, occupation, and the flagrant violation of all American and international laws and norms. This approach manifests in aggression against Venezuela, declaring control over it and seizing its resources, while threatening Colombia, Panama, Mexico, and Canada with the same fate of occupation and forced annexation by America. Similarly, he has expressed desires to control Danish Greenland, aiming to purchase it or seize it militarily if necessary. These gangster-like practices will inevitably target any nation possessing national wealth, forcing them to surrender it to America voluntarily or through brute force. These actions follow the Trump administration’s dismantling of the post-World War II international system, coercing it into becoming a tool to legitimize its unlawful behavior or face the cessation of US financial contributions to the UN and its various agencies and organizations. These unprecedented methods in the history of international relations – which distinguish neither foe, friend, nor ally and are governed solely by the law of the jungle and the arrogance of power – could only be executed by someone like Donald Trump. He operates with complete disregard for all values, ethics, conscience, law, norms, and public decency. This is a glaring example of how the American deep state operates in these affairs and across other domains. Will this path save America or hasten its collapse?! That is what we will likely witness within approximately a year from now!

      Arresting these key riot leaders is more important to do now otherwise they’ll be activated during active war.

      Will Iran fall? My opinion? No. To put things into perspective: 1% of 90 million is 900K. So even with 1% nothing will happen, and the number of rioters and protests today is (in my estimation) roughly around 10k-15k.

      To put more things into perspective: The annual pro-IR marches in Iran have about 22-25 million attendees nationwide. Do you think a couple thousand cosmetic nose-surgery “men” are going to overthrow the government?

      Don’t fall into this media vacuum. Tehran is neither Syria nor Libya.

        TRANSLATION VIA X Minister Sikorski say “I double dog dare ya ta do sumptin’ ’bout it, Ruskie” 

        Ukrainian Drones and missiles that kill Russian civilians are made in Poland – Sikorski. Poland is producing weapons for Ukraine on a full scale. Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski said that this step is being taken as part of deepening military-industrial cooperation between the two countries: “We are providing Ukraine with the 48th tranche of military aid (Radosław Sikorski points out that he has already lost count of how much it was), and Ukraine in response allows us to produce drones and missiles for them,” Sikorski said. The minister added that Warsaw plans to allocate many more billions of euros to Ukraine.

          An Oreshnik may just have been used tonight. Wanna bet it was more fat NATZIs in their bunkers? Good to refocus the foaming demented. Perhaps it was even the FOB being prepped for the EuroChihuahuas of the “Coalition of the Willing”!

          LVOV (ex-Lemberg) is only 474 km or 371 mi leisurely driving distance from the Polish border….

          💠 @Middle East Spectator:
          ⭕ 🇷🇺/🇺🇦 WATCH: Alleged footage of an Oreshnik IRBM strike in the Lvov region of Western Ukraine

          Regional authorities confirm a ‘critical infrastructure’ facility was hit, with Ukraine’s largest underground gas storage facility being in the area of the strike. |media|
          [it certainly descends like the prior Oreshnik in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast in the east]

      A drone attacked an oil tanker off the coast of Turkey – Pravda EN

      https://news-pravda.com/world/2026/01/08/1984531.html

      The attack damaged the vessel’s upper hull. According to preliminary reports, the crew was uninjured. The tanker issued a distress signal, after which coast guard forces were dispatched. The Elbus is currently being towed to the port of Inebolu, where it will undergo a technical inspection and an assessment of the impact.

      …

      Ukrainian sources are already developing a theory that the Elbus was supposedly heading to the port of Novorossiysk to load oil. There is no official confirmation of this information.

      In effect, we’re talking about a continuation of the practice of using drones not against military targets, but against commercial shipping. And the more frequently such strikes occur near the coasts of third countries, the more obvious it becomes that the risk zone is expanding far beyond the combat zone.

      some of the recent strikes on natostan, just prior to & after the 91 drones on command central, must’ve been huge, high ranking personnel may not have adequately covered the damage.

      safe to say the pot has reached a proper boil.

        Not smart to brag about killed enemy illegal combatants. Better allow enemy “leaders” to send more meat to disposal. Ruski smart. Borzzikman has reported many, probably less than number…they say 10% of nazi army 404 is Polish…2 million now sent to Bandara…so 200,000 Poles? that’s a whole lotta dead guys…and the sunk cost fallacy is in politics not a fallacy…it’s a driver. Poland has crossed Rubicon long time ago. Now they seem to invite Rus to attack, provide political justification for all those dead guys…

          agreed, russians prefer to do their victory lap when mother’s flag is waving over berlin…possibly buckingham & eiffel.  the odessa mushroom cloud may’ve hit more than polish drones.

      Hey I used to watch “Knight Rider” – a few times while visiting relatives decades ago in USA. Loved it. To think talking cars are reality now… and thank God I didn’t live in USA in those critical formative years else might have become a fat couch-potato degenerate


      🔻 ChinazDream_reloaded: Get well soon and don’t play mean tricks!!!!
      🔻 WS: No tricks. Breathing difficulties, elevated liver enzymes, painful pancreatitis.
      🔻 Mikhael Leibowitz: How likely do you see the regime change in Iran with the current (mossad) protests?
      🔻 WS: Less than zero.
      [but it’s not meant to be stand-alone. As part of a stacked function…]
      🔻 Mikhael Leibowitz: So that means this is just the beginning, I don’t see Israel giving up on their goal. They want Iran out of the way and they will push the US as much as possible to get it done. This conflict may begin to escalate quickly.
      🔻 Dr. Anton: Relieved to hear you’re a fraction improved.
      May you continue to get better and may your health return to normal. 🙏
      🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: This is what I feared really. This is a dress rehearsal for blockading other BRICS trade and shipping routes they don’t control, and Russia and China will have to respond militarily. Or they will have to consider financial armageddon.
      🔻 Justin Glyn SJ: Well, yes, and pirating oil tankers with nuclear powers’ flags is next level suicidal. While, as you and
      @DandF25
      have noted, much of this is the posturing of a dying empire, the risk of everyone getting 1000 degree suntans by miscalculation seems non-negligible.


      🔻 GreyWing: The more I think or it, the more this was a setup for PR reasons or try to temp Russia into triggering a war.

      How can an oil tanker outrun a blockade, disappear and almost make it to Russia? Then just before it gets there, the West takes over just in time.

      Seriously


      ☝️ this may help explain why Iran shut down the Internet tonight .. decapitation attempt coming on Khamenei
