SWITZERLAND - Andrew Neil delivered a hilarious takedown of the top paid global elite currently in Davos, Switzerland, for the 2019 World Economic Forum, joking they are so worried about global warming "many of them flew in by private jets". He said: “Let me tell you what a caring, sharing bunch the global elite is. In between munching shark canapés and caesar salad - which at £43.50 for two lettuce leaves and a lump of chicken is a real steal - these global titans really do agonise and anguish about inequality, diversity and climate change. So concerned they are about inequality that the 12 richest Davos men - yes they’re still all men, at least until Mrs Hammerson’s divorce settlement comes through - are a mere combined £175 billion better off than they were ten years ago. That’s a sacrifice for you.”

USA - Information tyranny is now upon us. Microsoft is now teaming up with a Monsanto-linked front group called "NewsGuard" to automatically block all independent news sources that report the truth about Monsanto, Bayer, glyphosate or GMOs. America is rapidly becoming Communist China, and the most evil corporations, tech giants and lying media outlets we've ever witnessed are conspiring to silence independent science forever.

USA - Not only has America become the land of endless fake news, but under the rogue hand of Robert Mueller, this nation is also the land of fake justice. In an early morning raid that was staged exclusively for CNN, Roger Stone was arrested and charged with so-called “process crimes” consisting almost entirely of charges of “lying to Congress.” Stop the presses. If lying to Congress is a crime, then where is the arrest of Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sunday Pichai who lied under oath and claimed there is no bias in Google search results or Facebook accounts?

USA - According to published reports, agents showed up at Stone’s home around 6:00 am Friday morning to arrest him on seven counts including lying to federal investigators, which is nothing but a process crime that would not have occurred had he never been questioned by Mueller’s politically motivated investigators.

USA - Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus said support for socialism “comes right out of the universities” on Friday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel. Marcus said, “We have a group of people in Washington today, new representatives especially, that look at socialism as the way to go …it comes right out of the universities. You see students graduating today, and… almost 50% of students coming out of universities today believe that socialism is the answer. That’s frightening to me.”

MIDDLE EAST - Syria Is Threatening To Bomb The Airport In Tel Aviv And Iran Is Pledging To Wipe Israel Off The Map. We always knew that this was coming.  We always knew that there would eventually be a war between Israel and Iran, but we had hoped that it could be put off for as long as possible.  Well, now it appears that time may have run out.  The exchange of missiles between the IDF and Iranian forces based in Syria represented a major escalation of a conflict that has been simmering at a low level for months. 

GERMANY - Germany owes Britain a great debt and must allow a Brexit with the concessions it needs, according to a German commentator. But Mr Schoenberg said these issues have been “unshakeable” stipulations for Britain since the beginning of Brexit talks. Writing for the Daily Mail, he said: “To casually propose dumping them in this way was insulting to your country.”

RUSSIA - Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a summit Tuesday where they both affirmed their commitment to signing a peace treaty over their decades-long territorial dispute over the Russian-controlled Kuril Islands. Russia and Japan have not been able to sign a peace treaty since Russia seized the islands at the end of World War II, so the countries remain technically at war. Speaking at a joint news conference, Abe said that the Japanese and Russian foreign ministers would meet in February to continue negotiations over the dispute. Both sides are aiming to reach a deal by the Group of 20 summit in Osaka in June.

INDIA - India is beefing up its defences against Chinese aggression with a third airbase in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Military officials said the extra base would improve surveillance of Chinese ships and submarines entering the Indian Ocean through the nearby Malacca Straits. India has grown increasingly uneasy about the looming presence of China's more powerful navy and fears the network of commercial ports it is building from Sri Lanka to Pakistan could become naval outposts. The Indian military has seized upon the Andamans that lie near the entrance to the Malacca Straits to counter the Chinese challenge, deploying ships and aircraft since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014 promising a more muscular policy. About 120,000 ships pass through the Indian Ocean each year and nearly 70,000 of them pass through the Malacca Strait. Former navy commodore Anil Jai Singh said: "The underlying thing is the expanding Chinese presence.

USA - Just as community organizer Saul Alinsky, in his textbook for Marxist street thugs, Rules for Radicals, advised his minions, constant drumbeats have the potential to wear down resolve and win social and cultural wars. For years now, the object of left-wing pressure has been to undermine the status and reputation of straight white conservative males.

AUSTRALIA - More than 20 wild horses have been found decomposing in a dried-up gully in central Australia and one-third of the nation’s flying fox bats have allegedly died in just two days. The cataclysmic scale of dying wildlife is due to Australia’s hottest January on record as pulverising 40C temperatures scorch the country. The horses were found at a pool known as “Deep Hole”, 56 miles east of Alice Springs, Australia’s most central city. In a Facebook post, Alice Springs residents said that the horses “are likely to have perished from dehydration accompanied by the overwhelming heat”. Five of the ten hottest days in Australia’s recorded history have occurred in the last fortnight.

USA - A friend of mine, who runs a large television production company in the car-mad city of Los Angeles, recently noticed that his intern, an aspiring filmmaker from the People’s Republic of China, was walking to work. When he offered to arrange a swifter mode of transportation, she declined. When he asked why, she explained that she “needed the steps” on her Fitbit to sign in to her social media accounts. If she fell below the right number of steps, it would lower her health and fitness rating, which is part of her social rating, which is monitored by the government. A low social rating could prevent her from working or traveling abroad.

USA - The Doomsday Clock has remained at two minutes to midnight with the scientists behind the announcement claiming that “we have entered the new abnormal”. Members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which organises the Doomsday Clock, announced their findings in Washington stating that “the dangers of the world are being normalised, including climate change and nuclear war”.

USA - The law removes all legal protections for the unborn child and allows non-doctors to perform abortions. New York City’s One World Trade Center’s spire was lit pink to celebrate the passing of a law that legalises abortion for any reason up to birth. The law also allows non-doctors to perform abortions and repeals a legislation recognising unborn babies over 24 weeks as potential homicide victims. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Catholic, signed the bill on Tuesday before ordering that the spire of One World Trade Center, as well as bridges and buildings in the sate capital of Albany be lit pink in celebration.

USA - NewsGuard is yet another Rorschach test that says everything about the provincial, close-minded, and deceptive blacklisters who created it and nothing about its intended targets. Let’s start with NewsGuard’s decision to place the Drudge Report on its blacklist. How is it possible to blacklist Drudge as unreliable when Drudge mostly aggregates news from other sites, and when Drudge does break news, it is never fake? Blacklisting an aggregation site is not only ludicrous; it is revealing about NewsGuard’s own lack of credibility, transparency, and biases. Moreover, what does it say when NewsGuard gives every single establishment media site (every single one!) a passing grade when those are the sites Drudge links most often? What this tells us is that NewsGuard is not interested in accuracy, but rather how terrified this latest establishment media weed is of a popular site that operates outside the establishment media’s filter.
