Israeli police attacked Palestinian protesters and journalists on the Temple Mount, leaving at least 152 injured from riot munitions, the Red Crescent reported. Israeli forces began targeting Palestinian protesters at the al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday. According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), the police raid was carried out after Palestinians set up wooden barriers at the site and some firecrackers were thrown. “Young men prepared wooden roadblocks around the al-Qibli prayer hall in anticipation of a possible Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raid,” the PCHR said. “They...

US Sanctions China for ‘Repressive Acts’ After Telling Beijing to Cut Ties with Russia
Washington has imposed new sanctions on Chinese officials, saying they are in response to “repressive acts” against ethnic and religious minorities. The move comes just days after the Joe Biden administration threatened penalties over China’s continued relations with Russia.
Russia Seizes Chernobyl, Putin Offers Surrender Terms
After launching a military incursion into Ukraine early Thursday morning, Russian forces have reportedly bombed targets across the country and are even believed to have captured the infamous Chernobyl nuclear site. Though conflicting reports continue to abound amid a chaotic situation on the ground, the Pentagon claims Ukraine was hit with a barrage of more than 160 missiles and that Russian infantry have pushed further west toward the capital city of Kiev. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 137 people had been killed and 316 wounded so far in the attack – including both...
Biden to Deploy National Guard to Confront American Trucker Protest
Inspired by the movement created by Canadian truckers, anti-Covid lockdown and vaccine mandate protests are springing up around the world. The American iteration has been dubbed the ‘People’s Freedom Convoy’ and is set to kick off Wednesday, when truckers will begin a trek to the nation’s capital timed for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. As in Ottawa, however, they may face a harsh crackdown when they arrive. Rather than embracing the Bill of Rights, the Biden administration seems to be adopting the policies of Justin Trudeau's regime in Canada. The Pentagon announced...
Workers of the World Unite (Just Kidding!)
Nearly a month ago a convoy of tractor trailers and passenger vehicles full of protesters descended on Ottawa, the capitol of Canada. Their message has been clear: “lift all mandates and COVID restrictions.” The Canadian Government’s response (in addition to invoking emergency powers) has been to call them racists, fascists, NAZIs, seditionists, and white separatists despite the diversity of people protesting the draconian measures. The Ottawa City Counsel continues to call on strong-arm police tactics to silence opposition to their technocratic rule, and the left has gleefully joined the...
The Hidden Origin Of The Escalating Ukraine-Russia Conflict
Various evidence presented in studies I have authored, which has been echoed by many other Western scholars who research these issues, show that both of these narratives are inaccurate. Indeed, the question of which side carried out the “snipers’ massacre” is central to understanding one of the “bloodiest and most controversial hours of European conflict since the end of the Cold War,” and the main tipping point in the escalating conflict between the West and Russia over Ukraine. According to testimonies by over 100 wounded protesters, several dozen prosecution witnesses, and forensic...
January 6th: A Turgid Anniversary
Last year’s Jan. 6 clash at the Capitol may be the most politically exploited ruckus in American history. Team Biden is doing a victory lap to mark the anniversary, but the feds continue covering up key information regarding that day’s events. Democrats are canonizing a false version of history to change voting laws to perpetuate many of the shoddy if not shady practices that tarnished the 2020 election. After the fracas a year ago, Democratic members of Congress made ludicrous claims about the perils they faced that day. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, “We came close to half...

COI #211: Israel Panics Over Critique of Apartheid Policies
On COI #211, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman discuss Israeli apartheid and why Tel Aviv’s worries that awareness of their regime’s brutality will spread this year.
