On this day in 2019, Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange was dragged out of the Ecuadorean Embassy in London; Assange repeatedly said ‘the UK has no sovereignty’ as he was taken away for torture by UK authorities.
‘What is a country?’
‘A country is one that has sovereignty…its politicians can say what they like, regardless of interference from other nations…China and Russia support each other, but they’ll look out for their own interests.’

Federal judges have begun ordering the early release pending appeal of Jan. 6 defendants who challenged their sentences even though the Supreme Court is a week away from hearing arguments on whether a key charge brought against them is legally sound.
A Maryland man who carried a Confederate flag into the Capitol will be let go one year into his three-year term. An Ohio man who overran police lines and became one of the first rioters to enter the Capitol will be set free six months into a 19-month term. And a man who entered the just-evacuated Senate chamber with a Trump flag as a cape was released after serving five months of a 14-month term.

The audit of homelessness spending in California is finally out, and the results are infuriating: “California spent $24 billion to tackle homelessness over the past five years but didn’t consistently track whether the huge outlay of public money actually improved the situation.”
I first asked for the audit in 2020, but Newsom intervened to kill it. Now we know why he didn’t want his spending examined. Last year, Assemblyman Josh Hoover got the audit approved, and the findings released today are even worse than I expected.
The audit found that the California Interagency Council on Homelessness “stopped tracking spending on programs and whether programs were working in 2021. It also failed to collect and evaluate outcome data for these programs.” Even a Democrat State Senator decried the “lack of transparency at every level.”
Meanwhile, homelessness has increased by 32 percent in California over the last five years. It has increased 67 percent in Sacramento. And half the nation’s unsheltered homeless now live in our state.
In short: California is spending more and more on homelessness and the problem continues to get worse worse and worse. Far worse than anywhere else in America. It’s yet another example of how our citizens sacrifice the most and get the least in return.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺Threat of Direct Western Intervention in Ukraine
▪️This is a prospect I’ve warned about since the Special Military Operation began in 2022;
▪️This began as a proxy conflict in 2014 when Washington specifically overthrew the elected government of Ukraine and began militarizing the country to menace Russia on its own borders. This is a US conflict;
▪️However, the US narrative has always been it is “defending” Ukraine from “Russian aggression,” and cannot afford to be seen initiating direct conflict with Russia, it must be “European” nations that do so with the US appearing to assist only as a reluctant afterthought;
▪️The US is using a UK-French-Baltic front. Germany for obvious historical and political reasons must appear reluctant but will most certainly support the conflict as it has already been doing all along;
▪️The US will also pose as reluctant to enter what is in fact a US intervention with British-French “leadership” designed to afford the US plausible deniability just as the US uses Israel in the Middle East to fan the flames of what is essentially a US conflict with Iran and its allies;
All of this is discerned from decades of US foreign policy documents which regularly attempt to initiate conflict by proxy to absolve the US itself of starting the very wars it itself engineers – whether in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or Asia-Pacific.
Whether or not this is a bluff or a serious, desperate attempt to reverse a failing proxy war remains to be seen.
Worst Case Scenario:
NATO cannot survive a long-term protracted conflict with Russia and would instead seek to break Russian forces with a large-scale rapid attack – much like the Ukrainian 2023 offensive attempted to do, but with additional capabilities like air power and larger quantities of long-range cruise missile attacking both along the front and deep within Russian territory.
Russia has carefully preserved its fighting capacity almost certainly for this very contingency.
The collective West has consistently and severely overestimated its own capabilities and underestimated not only Russia’s, but the state of the rest of the world outside the West.
It would be a mistake for Russia to underestimate how far the West will go and what they will do to reverse their flagging fortunes.
It remains to be seen whether the US and its proxies are setting a trap for Russia, of ultimately for themselves…

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Recent Israeli Threats Follow 2009 US Policy Paper Verbatim
▪️US plans to provoke war with Iran via Israel have been laid out in detail since at least as early as 2009 in the Brookings Institution paper, “Which Path to Persia?”;
▪️The US wants to appear reluctant to intervene in a conflict with Iran rather than identified as the chief engineer of it;
▪️ The US & its Israeli proxies seeks to either provoke Iran and cite it as a pretext for war, or fabricate one entirely;
▪️Israel’s recent strike on an Iranian embassy is meant to provoke Iran specifically to initiate a long-planned US war;
▪️Desperation has set in as the Middle East continues to move out from under US hegemony, the clock is ticking for both the US and its proxies;

Of course, best case scenario is that the US and its proxies are bluffing, Russia will call it, and this destructive conflict can be brought to a permanent end once and for all.
🇺🇸🇵🇭NEW ARTICLE: Washington’s Political Capture of the Philippines: A Former Colony, a Future Proxy
“While China stands as the Philippines’ largest and most important trade partner and Manila’s best prospect for developing badly needed modern infrastructure, Washington would have Filippino public funds diverted instead to military spending, fueling tensions that will jeopardize trade and infrastructure cooperation with China.
Instead of Chinese-built roads, rail, ports, hospitals, and schools amid growing bilateral trade, the archipelago nation will instead invest in ships, warplanes, and military facilities to host US troops.
Like Ukraine in Eastern Europe, the Philippines will watch its economy spiral as public time, money, energy, and attention is increasingly invested into a growing proxy conflict orchestrated by and for Washington. The Philippines, already tragically lagging behind the rest of ASEAN, will see the gap in economic power and development widen even further over the next decade if Washington’s political capture of Manila continues.”
