1. And so it begins

Note the blue or red zip ties which should make it much easier to see which ones should fail to be delivered

2. OSINTdefender has proven to be a reliable source for geopolitical news of this sort in the past.

3. This guy has it about right. He is referring to an event this week where the usual Muslim-communist coalition who take over parts of downtown about every day, around noon on weekends and after their government jobs at 4:00 on weekdays, actually stopped RCMP security detail on its way to collect Trudeau from the Politburo Privy Council building on Wellington St.

He calls out the obvious two-tier policing in Canada

4. Sky News Oz does a rather excellent report on the assassination of Hamas leader and Oct 7 planner, Yahya Sinwar.

The IDF successfully eliminated the most evil butcher of modern times DESPITE pressure from the world not to enter Rafah.

It’s not enough that the world congratulates us for the elimination. You must say you were wrong.

5. Meloni is a curious figure. She has been in power for a while now and has not stopped the persecution and prosecution of former Minister of the Interior, Salvini who is being repeatedly charged with kidnapping for not allowing illegals to disembark on Italian soil, which was the law. And Spain had actually offered them a landing. So this is purely political persecution for interfering with the Cloward Piven plan in Italy. She has not done anything about the mass migration. She does not appear to be with Viktor Orban in his fight to maintain law, even as written by the EU for European border sovereignty. And now she has imposed a full arms embargo on Israel.
