Amir Tsarfati (an Israeli Christian) has been featured on this site previously, but not since the Hamas strike on 7th October 2023.

So his view on the current conflict from inside the State of Israel is of some considerable interest, conflicting as it does with reports from (for example) Scott Ritter. I wonder how much access he has to external alternative media reports.

It also provides us with a glimpse of one Israeli's mindset. It's an anecdote, not a survey.

Nevertheless the question remains - how much credence should we give to reports from external experts, and how much to those of internal Israelis? They cannot both be correct. 

"We are cleaning northern Gaza completely - it will not be inhabited any more"

"... in Lebanon... you can see that we are levelling, levelling! Those villages and towns will not stay standing... all the south Lebanese

To complement various reports on geopolitical matters, Sergei Lavrov's speech to the UN General Assembly in New York is worth some attention.

With world events shifting at breakneck speed, it's quite a task to try to assemble a reasonable view of what the future may offer us. So ZeroHedge is sticking its neck out by attempting this feat, and, in my view, a reasonable fist they make of it. I don't suppose they have it all correct - but hey, it's undeniably complicated and they manage to pull a convincing narrative together.

The Fulford Weekly Report is a must-read this week - if you don't have a subscription, you may wish to reconsider...

Apparently the reports reaching us from Israel in the aftermath of the recent attack by Iranian missiles do not adequately present the destruction wrought - "Israel is under new leadership... "

Ben also has much of interest to say about the floods in North Carolina following the hurricane attack.

Catholic readers may need to prepare themselves for what Ben has to report about the Vatican and its prospects.

And, as always, much more besides that is probably closer to the truth than most reports in the mainstream, or even on alternative media.

George Galloway discusses the Israeli position with ex US Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter.

I hadn't realised just how many "nuclear-armed" states the Israelis might be facing if they dare to open nuclear hostilities with Iran - if they play that card then world destruction seems assured, with Israel at the forefront, yet without that option, their chances of subduing Iran look pretty bleak.

In common with other sources Ben describes a scenario of escalating and ever more obvious attempts to wrest back control of humanity through ever more improvisations designed to instil fear in the population - but the population in large measure is no longer having it.

(Clif High is of the same viewpoint)

More to the point, nor are significant elements of the various secret services and societies around the world. So will their fall-back position be to create war, civil, global, or anywhere in between?

In a wide-ranging address to the delegates at the UN, the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivers a block-buster speech majoring on the unsupportable situation in Gaza, but also touching on many other issues both in the Middle East and other hotspots, and has pertinent remarks to make about the fake moralities that have been and continue to undermine the institution of the family around the world. 

The ceremonies at the recent Olympic Games were granted special mention.

A great deal here on which the world should both agree and promptly act. If the UN ducks this one, it's days must surely be numbered.

With things moving fast now in the Middle East and the BRICS, this update from Pepe Escobar (around Russia and the  BRICS) and Scott Ritter (on the Middle East, Ukraine, and the politics of Nuclear First Strike) won't be welcomed by everybody, but is nevertheless important.

Who would have thought that in 2024 we would be concerned about the outbreak of a pre-emptive nuclear strike between the two superpowers? Oh yes we are, and Scott Ritter is probably the most experienced commentator on such matters having been a UN inspector of the arms limitation agreement with the then Soviet Union.

And you get two for the price of one, with the first 62 minutes covered by Pepe and the remaining 80 minutes by Scott Ritter.

The first video starts with Pepe (and continues with Scott), the second is the second section covering Scott Ritter only, for those that find that split convenient.

Two separate independent views on the current state of Israel. 

Firstly from Scott Ritter with an in-depth review of what may or may not be the state of mind of Benjamin Netanyahu, and what that may lead to in the context of the current unrest within Israel and the unnerving lack of (direct) action by Iran in response to Israel's attack on the Hamas negotiator in Iran.

Secondly a report from an "independent journalist" on the recent escalations of hostilities around the border with Lebanon.

Andrew Bridgen interviewed by Paul "Voice of the People" Thorpe.

Quite a wide-ranging interview covering most of the major news topics of interest, also exploring the current state of UK parliamentary politics. As Andrew points out, not very parliamentary at all if you look beyond the formal procedures at what a parliamentarian is supposed to do - to speak for their constituents.

UK PM Starmer wanted NATO to target Russian targets on Russian Territory.

"Russia will attack the United States"

We were within a whisker of a WW3 nuclear exchange.

Want to know what happens next week? Nobody can tell you, but Gerald has come perhaps as close as any to getting a reputation for reliable forecasting. How does he do it? By ensuring a constant flow of information from all around the world, and somehow finding the time to trawl through it all and assess the meaning behind the reports.

In a fascinating interview, covering world events past and present, this is an interview worth taking in, and if at the end you are still sitting comfortably, then you haven't been paying attention.

This is the most extraordinary account of the current state of the world that you will likely ever watch. Please leave your preconceptions at the door.

"The attack is just one of a wave of bombings in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), where Cologne is located, in recent months"

The report indicates that it may be associated with rival drug gangs, although that seems to be speculation at this point.

Hezbollah has been hit by exploding "pagers", although it's unclear whether they were somehow packed with explosive or with lithium ion batteries that were explosive.

Apparently this resulted in nine deaths and thousands of wounded. 

Since distribution of pagers isn't necessarily a precise art, some may have found their way to innocent customers not involved in the Hezbollah-Israel conflict. 

Is any new mobile device, like phones,  now at risk, one might ask? One suspects that the possibility cannot be discounted. especially if manufactured recently, or after 7 Oct 2023.

Malaysian Airlines MH370 disappeared on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

It was never found (officially) and it's disappearance has never been satisfactorily explained. But there are many features about this event that some think indicated some level of official collusion.

Amateur sleuth Ashton Forbes has since picked through all the many items of evidence and assembled a reasonable theory about what happened... reasonable that is until you see his extraordinary presentation. 

Are you sitting comfortably? I doubt you will be after viewing this.

Scott Ritter reviews the history that led us into the current situation in Easter Europe, and the Ukraine conflict.

It's a broad sweep delivered in a number of sections, but all contribute to the story.

And where does it leave Europe, Ukraine, and Germany vis à vis Russia today?

Well, it a bit complicated... but very informative.
