TRAGIC STABBING Spree at London Market Shocks Community

11 November 2024 — A stabbing spree at East Street Market in south London left one dead and two injured on Sunday morning. Police arrested a man in his 60s at the scene. While they have not shared details about the suspect or his motives, they do not believe it is terror-related, hinting that mental health issues might be involved.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the attacker randomly targeted people. An unnamed fabric seller said, “I just saw a bloke running through the market stabbing people willy-nilly.” The attack happened around 10:30 am when the market was getting busy.

The witness immediately called police after seeing two men stabbed, noting one appeared severely injured. Emergency services quickly arrived but sadly, one victim died from injuries despite their efforts.

The investigation continues as authorities work to understand what led to this tragic event and ensure community safety moving forward.

BIDEN-HARRIS Strategy Fails: Hamas Rejects Hostage Deal

27 October 2024 — In a critical moment during negotiations, Hamas leader Sinwar rejected a hostage deal, banking on the BIDEN-HARRIS administration’s pressure on Israel to benefit Hamas. The Wall Street Journal reports Sinwar urged leaders outside Gaza to resist concessions, believing high civilian casualties would increase global pressure on Israel. This strategy aimed to exploit perceived weaknesses in the administration’s approach.

The report reveals a big miscalculation by the Biden-Harris team. Their dual strategy of pushing Israel for negotiations while criticizing it over Gaza backfired, as Sinwar saw this as an opportunity to reject compromise. By intensifying pressure on Israel, the administration inadvertently strengthened Hamas’s position and derailed potential agreements.

Critics swiftly reacted to these revelations. Journalist Daniel Greenfield stated that “the Biden-Harris administration emboldened Hamas.” Author Benjamin Weingarten highlighted extensive support provided to Iran and its affiliates under Obama-Biden policies, while political analyst Michael Scott Doran criticized their negotiation tactics as fundamentally flawed.

VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat

17 October 2024 — In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.

These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.

Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.

Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.

MEXICAN Immigration Official ACCUSED of Extortion and Bribery

11 September 2024 — Director-level officials at Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) revealed widespread corruption within the agency. Leaders sell documents, charge for favors, and extort migrants before being moved out.

Carmen Yadira De Los Santos Robledo, INM regional delegate in Yucatan, has pressured her staff to demand bribes and illegally sell travel documents. Despite internal investigations, she faces no consequences due to her connections with INM commissioner Francisco Garduno.

De Los Santos was relocated to Yucatan in 2022 after protests and an investigation in Chiapas. Her staff extorted Cuban migrants with valid documents by threatening detention and deportation.

Internal affairs documents accessed by Breitbart Texas show De Los Santos charged $1,500-$2,000 for undocumented humanitarian visa cards. These illicit fees were collected in cash and sent up the chain of command.

CIA and MI6 Chiefs WARN: Global Threats Looming

08 September 2024 — The heads of the CIA and MI6 have issued a stark warning about global threats. They highlighted the war in Ukraine, sabotage in Europe, and rising tensions with China. “We saw the war in Ukraine coming,” they stated, emphasizing their role in alerting the international community.

They are actively working to disrupt Russia’s sabotage campaigns across Europe and address escalating conflicts like the Israel-Gaza situation. Counterterrorism efforts against ISIS are also a priority. The intelligence chiefs stressed that global stability is under threat like never before since the Cold War.

China’s rise is identified as the main geopolitical challenge of this century, prompting both agencies to reorganize their priorities accordingly. Russian intelligence activities were described as reckless, with recent incidents of sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in Europe being attributed to Moscow’s covert operations.;

MYSTERY Artist BANKSY Continues to Captivate the World

18 August 2024 — Banksy, the famous yet anonymous artist, continues to captivate global audiences. His works sell for millions and are owned by celebrities like Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera. Despite his fame, Banksy’s identity remains a closely guarded secret.

Banksy’s art often carries political messages and addresses global issues through immersive installations. Some of his pieces also explore lighter, playful themes. This duality has broadened his appeal across various demographics.

Speculation about Banksy’s true identity persists among fans and critics alike. He is believed to be from Bristol, England, where he initially gained recognition as a graffiti artist with his distinctive stenciled designs.

DEA AGENTS’ Shocking "World Debauchery Tour" Exposed

25 July 2024 — A WhatsApp chat among DEA agents revealed a shocking “world debauchery tour” involving “boozing and whoring” on taxpayer money. They shared lurid images and joked about serious crimes. The arrest of George Zoumberos in 2018 for allegedly forcing anal sex on a woman in Madrid highlighted the issue.

Despite the severity, U.S. officials barely investigated the woman’s claims. The DEA has long avoided discussing this case, only stating that such misconduct is unacceptable. Thousands of secret documents obtained by AP show a culture of corruption within the agency.

Zoumberos claimed the interaction was consensual and was released after U.S. Embassy intervention. A Spanish judge dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence, and Zoumberos returned to duty with just a reprimand for “poor judgment.” The woman maintains she clearly refused his advances.

This scandal raises serious questions about accountability within federal agencies tasked with enforcing drug laws globally. Taxpayers deserve transparency and integrity from those entrusted with such significant responsibilities.;

GLOBAL Elections SHAKE-UP: Major Voter Impact in Coming Days

28 June 2024 — In the coming days, voters in countries like Mauritania, Mongolia, Iran, Britain, and France will head to the polls. These elections could significantly impact global politics amid ongoing conflicts and economic concerns.

Iran faces a critical election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei seeks a successor among hard-liners Saeed Jalili and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, and reformist Masoud Pezeshkian.

National elections this year are happening in over 50 countries with significant political changes in India, Mexico, and South Africa. Russia remains unchanged despite global shifts.

CONSERVATIVE Officials in HOT Water Over Election Betting Scandal

23 June 2024 — Nick Mason is the fourth Conservative official to be investigated by the U.K.’s Gambling Commission for allegedly betting on election timing before the date was announced. Dozens of bets with potential winnings worth thousands of pounds are under scrutiny.

Two other Conservative candidates, Laura Saunders and Craig Williams, are also being investigated. Tony Lee, Saunders’ husband and Conservative director of campaigning, has taken a leave of absence amid similar allegations.

The scandal comes just two weeks before the national election, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party. Sunak expressed anger over the allegations and stated that lawbreakers should be expelled from the party.

Saunders has pledged full cooperation with investigators. Williams served as Sunak’s parliamentary private secretary in addition to being a candidate.

UN Chief BLASTS Fossil Fuel Industry for CLIMATE Chaos

06 June 2024 — In a fiery speech in New York City, U.N. chief Antonio Guterres accused the fossil fuel industry of causing climate chaos while reaping record profits. He labeled climate change as a “stealth tax” on everyday people and vulnerable communities.

Guterres warned that the world is on a “highway to climate hell” and likened current actions to playing Russian roulette with our planet. He criticized the fossil fuel industry’s greenwashing efforts and their attempts to delay climate action through lobbying and legal threats.

The U.N. leader also targeted advertising and PR firms, comparing them to characters from Mad Men, for aiding fossil fuel companies in their destructive practices. He urged these firms to stop taking new fossil fuel clients immediately and plan to drop existing ones.

MASS MIGRATION Cripples UK Housing: Urgent Call for Policy Overhaul

13 May 2024 — The Bank of England’s chief economist, Huw Pill, has identified a severe shortage in housing supply and skyrocketing demand as the primary reasons for rising rent prices. In 2022, a record-breaking net migration of 745,000 significantly fueled this demand. Pill criticizes the restrictive planning policies that have hindered adequate housing development.

Contrasting with the government’s positive spin on economic figures, Pill’s insights reveal underlying challenges. Treasury chief Jeremy Hunt highlighted a 0.6 percent GDP growth as evidence of post-pandemic recovery. Yet, this growth occurs against a backdrop of high taxes and limited spending cuts under what Hunt describes as a neo-liberal globalist agenda.

The escalating housing crisis necessitates immediate action as the existing supply fails to accommodate the influx from mass migration. This dire situation demands a thorough reassessment of immigration and housing regulations to effectively tackle these pressing issues.

US Squatting Laws EXPLOITED: Migrant ‘Influencer’ PUSHES Illegal Home Seizures

05 April 2024 — Squatting laws in the United States are increasingly manipulated by fraudsters unlawfully occupying empty homes. This problem is projected to escalate due to the current immigration crisis, as migrants gain knowledge of these laws and exploit them.

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan national apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week, had been urging his TikTok followers, numbering in the millions, to commandeer vacant U.S. homes. Before his arrest, Moreno was raking in $1,000 per day as an influencer while also benefiting from $350 monthly government subsidies.

The regulations on squatters vary across states and cities with New York City being among those with the most lax rules. These laws have recently resulted in significant repercussions including a Queens homeowner’s arrest for attempting to remove squatters from her property — a clear sign that these laws continue to be exploited even after Moreno’s TikTok account has been deactivated.

Recent incidents involving deceptive squatters in New York City and Long Island underscore the potential for abuse of these laws. Last month saw a woman tragically killed by squatters occupying her mother’s apartment while another instance involved two individuals unlawfully residing in an abandoned Long Island home after forging the deceased owner’s signature on a lease.

BRITISH TRADER’S Appeal Crushed: Libor Conviction Stands Strong

28 March 2024 — Tom Hayes, a former financial trader for Citigroup and UBS, has been unsuccessful in his attempt to overturn his conviction. This 44-year-old Brit was convicted in 2015 for manipulating the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from 2006 to 2010. His case marked the first-ever conviction of this kind.

Hayes served half of an 11-year sentence and was released in 2021. Despite asserting his innocence throughout, he faced another conviction by a U.S court in 2016.

Carlo Palombo, another trader implicated in similar manipulations with Euribor, also sought appeal through the U.K.'s Court of Appeal via the Criminal Cases Review Commission. However, after a three-day hearing earlier this month, both appeals were dismissed without success.

The Serious Fraud Office remained resolute against these appeals stating: “No one is above the law and the court has recognized that these convictions stand firm.” This decision comes on the heels of a contrasting verdict from a U.S court last year which reversed similar convictions of two former Deutsche Bank traders.

BRITISH FARMERS Revolt: Unfair Trade Deals and Deceptive Food Labels Undermine Local Agriculture

26 March 2024 — London’s streets echoed with the voices of British farmers, expressing their deep concerns over free trade agreements and deceptive food labels. They argue these deals, inked by Tory governments post-Brexit with nations such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico and New Zealand, are a blow to local farming.

The farmers highlight a stark contrast in standards between them and their international competitors. They are expected to adhere to stricter labour, environmental and health regulations which inadvertently allows foreign goods to undercut local produce prices. The issue is further amplified as European farmers gain access to UK markets thanks to generous government subsidies and the use of cheap migrant labour.

Adding insult to injury is a policy that allows foreign food repackaged in the UK to sport the British flag. This tactic muddies the waters for local farmers trying to set their products apart from overseas competition.

Liz Webster, founder of Save British Farming voiced her frustration at the protest stating that UK farmers are “completely disadvantaged”. She accused the government of reneging on its 2019 promise for a beneficial deal with the EU for British agriculture.

From BETTING FRENZY to Prison: Andy May’s £13M Gamble and His Fight Against Addiction

06 January 2024 — Andy May, once a finance manager from Norfolk, squandered his family’s house deposit in a gambling frenzy. After seven years of abstinence from betting, the allure of a “free bet” during the 2014 World Cup lured him back into the destructive habit.

May’s addiction spiraled out of control as he misused his company credit card to gamble away £1.3 million. This reckless act led him straight to prison. Now released after two years, he has teamed up with GambleAware to share his cautionary tale and raise awareness about gambling addiction.

During his four-and-a-half-year betting spree, May wagered on everything conceivable. He even resorted to paying off personal credit card debts using company funds. His illicit activities eventually caught up with him in 2019 when he was found guilty of stealing over £1.3 million from his employer.

Despite losing his job and deceiving his family about it, May confesses that he might be tempted by gambling again but fights daily against this urge. He underscores that no amount of potential winnings could enhance his life while everything is

ELF BAR Exposed: The Shocking Truth Behind the World’s Top E-Cigarette and Its Billion-Dollar TAX Scam

19 December 2023 — In just two years, Elf Bar, a flashy vaping gadget, has skyrocketed to global prominence as the leading disposable e-cigarette. Not only has it raked in billions in sales, but it has also become a favorite among underage American teens who vape. Last week saw the first public confiscation of Elf Bar products by U.S. authorities during an operation that seized 1.4 million illegal flavored e-cigarettes from China.

The confiscated goods were worth $18 million and included brands beyond Elf Bar. However, public records and court documents disclose that Chinese e-cigarette manufacturers have smuggled in products valued at hundreds of millions while adeptly circumventing customs duties and import fees. These firms frequently mislabel their shipments as “battery chargers’ or ”flashlights', thereby hampering efforts to control teen vaping in America.

Eric Lindblom, a former FDA official, lambasted regulatory approaches towards disposables as “very weak”, allowing this issue to spiral out of control. Meanwhile, fruit-and-candy-flavored disposables have flooded into America following China’s ban on vaping flavors last year under the pretense of safeguard

EXPOSED: BIDEN and Elites’ Unsettling Alliance with China

22 November 2023 — President Joe Biden’s recent actions have stirred up a storm of controversy. His apparent dismissal of the idea of “decoupling” from China is causing concern among conservatives. These revelations come from a new book, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life.

The book suggests that global elites and politicians like Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom are actively pushing for a closer resemblance between the U.S. and its Communist adversary. It alleges that these individuals view Beijing’s elites not as threats or rivals but as business partners.

Among those named in these claims are influential figures such as BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman. These business leaders were reportedly present at a dinner honoring Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping where they stood in applause for Chairman Xi.

This revelation comes at a time when concerns over China’s influence on global politics are growing. It highlights the urgent need for transparency in dealings between American leaders and foreign powers.

AMAZON and META Bow to UK Antitrust Pressure, Pledge Fair Play

06 November 2023 — Amazon and Meta, two tech behemoths, have put an end to separate antitrust investigations in the United Kingdom. They’ve agreed to halt practices that unfairly tip the scales in their favor against vendors and consumers on their platforms. This agreement was reached with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), effectively closing the investigations into their online marketplaces.

The CMA had been examining Amazon’s potential threat to competition by preferentially treating merchants who shell out for extras like storage, packaging, and delivery. The watchdog also probed Amazon’s choice of suppliers for its “buy box” feature as well as its data collection habits. As part of this settlement, Amazon will stop using data from third-party sellers for competitive advantage.

Meta’s probe focused on whether its data collection methods provided it an unfair leg up over competitors offering classified data and online dating services. Both companies have embraced these settlements; Amazon previously settled a similar EU antitrust case in December by agreeing to make substantial changes in how it does business.

FRONTIER AI: A Ticking Time Bomb? World Leaders and Tech Titans Convene to Discuss Risks

01 November 2023 — The latest buzzword in the realm of artificial intelligence, Frontier AI, has been causing a stir due to its potential threats to human existence. Advanced chatbots like ChatGPT have dazzled with their capabilities, but fears about the risks associated with such technology are escalating. Top researchers, leading AI companies, and governments are advocating for protective measures against these looming dangers.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is orchestrating a two-day summit on frontier AI at Bletchley Park. The event is set to draw around 100 officials from 28 nations including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Executives from prominent U.S. artificial intelligence firms such as OpenAI, Google’s Deepmind and Anthropic will also be in attendance.

Sunak asserts that only governments can shield people from the hazards posed by this technology. However, he stressed that the U.K.'s strategy is not to hastily impose regulation despite identifying potential threats like using AI for crafting chemical or biological weapons.

Jeff Clune, an associate computer science professor at the University of British Columbia who specializes in AI and machine learning was among those urging for more government intervention in mitigating risks from AI last week — echoing warnings issued by tech tycoons like Elon Musk and Open

Ex-Finland PM Marin’s SHOCKING Hollywood Move: Signs with Celebrity Management Company

15 October 2023 — Sanna Marin, Finland’s youngest ever Prime Minister, has taken an unexpected turn in her career. She recently signed a contract with Range Media Partners, a top-tier management company. This surprising move has ignited speculation that the former Prime Minister might be transitioning into show business.

Range Media Partners is renowned for managing A-list celebrities such as Bradley Cooper and Tom Hardy. The firm will reportedly guide Marin in exploring diverse media opportunities. These include potential roles in television shows and films, as well as brand partnerships.

Marin came under fire last year when videos of her partying went viral. Critics argued that such behavior was inappropriate for a prime minister. However, Marin defended herself by asserting that such activities are commonplace for individuals in their 30s.

Range Media Partners prides itself on providing first-rate management and representation services to an array of clients within the entertainment industry. Their clientele includes performing artists, directors, writers and professional athletes among others.
