Sinaloa Cartel In-Fighting Rages - (2024-10-09)

"More than 140 people have been killed in the last month, many of their bodies dumped on the streets."

WROL in Mexico - (2024-10-08)

"The mayor of the capital of Mexico's violence-plagued state of Guerrero was killed on Sunday less than a week after he took office, the state's governor confirmed. Alejandro Arcos was killed just six days after he took office as mayor of the city of Chilpancingo, a city of around 280,000 people in southwestern Mexico."

A Quarter of Lebanon Evacs - (2024-10-06)

"Najib Mikati said 1.2 million people -- out of Lebanon's total 2022 population of 5.49 million, according to United Nations data -- have been forced from their homes by Israel's air and ground attacks."

Chaos in Haiti, WROL - (2024-10-06)

"Gang members brandishing automatic rifles stormed through a town in Haiti's main breadbasket region, killing at least 70 and forcing over 6,000 to flee, causing widespread shock even in a country grown accustomed to outbreaks of violence."

Missiles Mostly Intercepted or Mostly on Target? - (2024-10-02)

"The Israeli military said it intercepted 'a large number' of the 180 ballistic missiles launched by Iran, but that there were 'isolated' impacts in central and southern Israel. The IRGC said that 90 percent of the projectiles fired hit their targets."

Film footage indicates that there were plenty of hits. Just as in Ukraine, the Israeli government does not want to panic its population. They will censor, downplay, and ignore to try and keep on lid on things.

Russia Takes Vuhledar - (2024-10-02)

"Control of the town - which Russians long regarded as one of Ukraine's toughest fortified positions to crack - is considered important by both sides because of its position on elevated ground and because it sits at the intersection of the eastern and southern battlefield fronts giving it added significance when it comes to supplying both sides' forces" "

More Porkies - (2024-10-02)

"Israel's recent airstrikes in Lebanon destroyed about half of the missiles and rockets that Hezbollah had accumulated over more than three decades"

Compare the above cheerleading to this:

"Hezbollah's flexible chain of command, together with its extensive tunnel network and a vast arsenal of missiles and weapons it has bolstered over the past year, is helping it weather unprecedented Israeli strikes, three sources familiar with the Lebanese militant group's operations said."

Ground Invasion of Lebanon Begins - (2024-10-01)

"The incursion, which Israel's National Security Cabinet has called the 'next phase' of its war with Hezbollah, marks the fourth time that Israeli soldiers have publicly entered Lebanese soil in nearly 50 years, and the first since Israel's 34-day war in the country in 2006"

Don't worry, it's just a "limited incursion." Just like the one over in Ukraine. Check out how the editors at the Washington Post tried to run interference for Team Biden. The headline says one thing (U.S. influence is limited) while the copy down below hints at something else.

"The events of recent weeks appear to fit a pattern in which the administration urges against specific Israeli actions only to later backtrack so it can avoid imposing conditions on military aid."

Longshoremen Strike Hits U.S. Ports - (2024-10-01)

"The International Longshoremen's Association is demanding significantly higher wages and a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container-moving trucks that are used in the loading or unloading of freight at 36 US ports. Those ports handle roughly half of the nations' cargo from ships."

Israel Doubles Down in Lebanon - (2024-09-23)

"Israeli warplanes pounded towns and villages in Lebanon on Monday, conducting airstrikes on what the Israeli military said were more than 300 Hezbollah targets. Lebanese health authorities said more than 182 people were killed and at least 720 injured, including women, children and rescue workers."

Signs of Russian Air Superiority - (2024-09-23)

"Russia has dropped more than 900 glide bombs on Ukraine this week, along with 400 Shahed drones and nearly 30 missiles, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday."

Warhead Pit Production - (2024-09-23)

"Fewer than ten people in the world are trained or are being trained to perform final pit assembly, which must be done by hand inside a large, walk-in glove box, wearing multiple layers of personal protective equipment to prevent plutonium contamination. These master machinists and welders hold Q clearances and undergo annual physical and mental exams. It can take up to four years to train them."

Back in the late 1970s, the basic design of a thermonuclear weapon was revealed.

More Than 1 Million Casualties in Ukraine War - (2024-09-19)

"Since the Russian president launched the war on February 24, 2022, more than 1 million people on both sides have been either killed or injured, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited unnamed intelligence sources."

The Russians view this as an existential threat. If our leaders push too hard they will back Putin into a corner and this will lead to a global game of Russian Roulette.

Apple Owes EU $14B in Taxes - (2024-09-10)

"Apple has been ordered to pay Ireland €13bn (£11bn; $14bn) in unpaid taxes by Europe's top court, putting an end to an eight-year row. The European Commission accused Ireland of giving Apple illegal tax advantages in 2016, but Ireland has consistently argued against the need for the tax to be paid. The Irish government said it would respect the ruling."

Misery Continues in Gaza - (2024-09-07)

"Israeli military strikes across the Palestinian Gaza Strip killed at least 61 people in the space of 48 hours, local medics said on Saturday, as Israeli forces battled Hamas-led militants in the territory."

Kursk Operation Not Going as Planned - (2024-09-03)

"A Russian strike against a military educational facility in central Ukraine killed 49 people and injured at least 219 others, according to a Ukrainian regional military official, in one of the deadliest single attacks since the start of Moscow's full-scale invasion in February 2022"

If this was an attempt to divert Russian troops, it has failed. Team Zelensky nearly cleared its bench to pull off the Kursk mission and has little to show for it beyond optics. Once Russia takes control of Pokrovsk it will signal a turning point. Notice how the media has turned it's spotlight to the 2024 presidential election and Israel to avoid having to admit the awful truth.
