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.
Here is Chris Dacey’s report on the actual event the rant above is about
4. Sky News Oz does a rather excellent report on the assassination of Hamas leader and Oct 7 planner, Yahya Sinwar.
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.
Meloni: Italy imposed full arms embargo on Israel over Gaza ground op
“We have blocked everything,” Meloni told lawmakers during a debate in Italy’s senate ahead of a European Council summit in Brussels.
The Italian government blocked all new arms deals with the Jewish state just weeks after Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday, the local ANSA news agency reported.
“After the start of [Israeli military] operations in Gaza, the government immediately suspended all new export licenses, and all agreements signed after October 7th were not implemented,” the Italian leader stated during a debate at Italy’s Senate ahead of Thursday’s European Council summit.
Meloni told lawmakers that licenses authorized before Oct. 7 are being “analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the competent authority at the foreign ministry.”
“We have blocked everything,” the Italian premier declared, noting that the policies of her government are “much more restrictive than that applied by our partners—France, Germany and the United Kingdom.”
Meloni is looking like just another COMINTERN shill. But at least all those Gaza refugees will know where they are welcome.

Yesterday silver broke its range-bound shackles to rise 6.4% against the USD. Better said, the USD dropped 6.4% against silver.
The reasons for this tectonic move vary according to the experts. There is a lack of physical supply, with purportedly only 300m Oz available for delivery in London. Then you have rumors of yet another U.S. Fed politically-driven rate cut prior to the election, cheapening the cost of money even as inflation catches its breath for another go. Then we hear that the mechanism of certain entities selling silver to load up on gold has ended. Or maybe it is simply the general wall of worry that has COSTCO selling out of gold bars, so the retail has turned to silver. More wall of worry fuel is found in growing war fears. Or maybe the gold/silver ratio hovering around 1:84 decided it was time to begin flirting with the mean, finally.
As a lowly hobbyist I don’t know the answer to silver’s move, and it will correct. I do know, though, that my final possible reason for the movement of Ag is, suddenly, the most disturbing.
I did not see a single negative comment below this video. Imagine. People are willing to cut off their stupid noses to spite their faces so readily that they cheer on their own digitization. Frankly, I don’t care what kind of technological wizardry enables any new medium of exchange if it threatens my autonomy. The BRICS blares state sovereignty. Hurray.
But sovereignty of the individual is obliterated in digitization.

#2 I saw this in the MSM maybe yesterday. Seems legit, saw satellite photos.
NATO can’t confirm yet, though.
2/ North Korea has taken part in every war fought by “long-time strategic partner” Syria. At least since the Six Day War (1967) there’s been “fraternal assistance”: education, weapons sales, training (including WMDs). The Hezbollah tunnel system is absolute proof.
Koreans – North and South – are among the highest IQ populations on the planet. (At least hose N.K. who aren’t malnourished, retarded slaves.
Just a sample from a thick file:

(NYT) Need a North Korean Missile? Call the Cairo Embassy
North Korea’s largest embassy in the Middle East, an elegant, three-story Victorian building with a rusty brass plate over the entrance, sits on a leafy street on an island in the Nile. The embassy walls display photos of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, standing in a garden or strolling through a fish market. Its windows are usually shuttered, and security guards discourage passers-by from taking photos.
