Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

Dr. Chris Martenson on current insurance company bankruptcies. These were predicated by past and present excessive claims. These claims were brought on by excess all-cause mortality and illness. These excess deaths and illnesses began shortly after the Earth reverted to being the center of the solar system in 2021, night air was deemed dangerous, and witches were hung for inciting spells that caused afflictions among the innocent. No other cause is known.

Russia-Ukraine War: Trump Says US To Send More Weapons to Kyiv After Phone Call with Zelensky | N18G
US President Donald Trump said on Monday (July 7) that his administration will send more weapons to Ukraine after an earlier decision to halt some arms shipments drew condemnation from Kyiv and its supporters. Speaking to reporters before a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump stated, “We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves.” He added that Ukraine is “getting hit very hard now.” Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed the President’s remarks, reiterating that the new shipments aim to “ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves” while efforts continue to secure a lasting peace.The announcement comes after last week’s phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which they reportedly agreed to work on strengthening Ukraine’s air defences.

Khaled Abu Toameh:
Do Not Rely on Egypt or Any Arab State to Bring Security to Gaza
Since the Hamas-Israel war began on Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have discovered 90 tunnels crossing under the border between Gaza and Egypt. The tunnels were used by Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups to smuggle rockets and weapons into Gaza. There may be additional tunnels that have not been discovered.
The Egyptians chose to ignore the smuggling as long as the weapons were going into Gaza and not staying in Egyptian territory. After all, these weapons were being used against Israel, and did not pose any threat to Egypt’s national security.
In addition, Egyptian military and police officers apparently benefitted by accepting bribes. Yet by turning a blind eye to the massive smuggling, Egypt significantly contributed to transforming Gaza into a major base for Islamist terrorism, paving the way for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Egypt does not care about the Palestinians or Israel. It only cares about its own interests, and that is why it would be a big mistake to rely on the Egyptians or any Arab state to bring security and stability to Gaza.

Two crew hurt, two missing in attack on ship off Yemen; Houthis say they sunk Greek carrier
Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility on Monday for a drone and missile attack on a Greek-operated bulk carrier in the Red Sea on Sunday, saying the ship had sunk. The attack was the first such incident since mid-April.
The raid involved gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades from eight skiffs as well as missiles and four uncrewed surface vessels. The 19 crew and three armed guards were forced to abandon the Liberian-flagged Magic Seas, which was carrying iron and fertilizer from China to Turkey, having nothing to do with Israel.

Operation Black Flag: IDF strikes Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen
In first Israeli strike on Yemen since assassination attempt on Houthi military chief, military strikes ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah and As-Salif, citing military activity at sites; commercial ship hijacked by Houthis in 2023 also hit
The IDF launched a series of airstrikes Sunday night on Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes targeted key terror infrastructure at the ports of Hodeidah, As-Salif and Ras Isa. Additional targets included the Ras Khatib power station and the Galaxy Leader, a ship hijacked by the Houthis in the Red Sea in 2023 and repurposed for terror activity.

Airstrikes on Houthis Targeted Hijacked Ship
The Israeli airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday night included the Galaxy Leader cargo ship, which was hijacked by the Houthis at sea in November 2023.
The freighter was reportedly owned by an Israeli businessman, but officials in the Prime Minister’s Office clarified that the ownership belonged to a British company operated by a Japanese firm, with crew from Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Philippines and Mexico – and no Israelis. The 25 crew members were released only 14 months after the hijacking.
The IDF said, “Houthi terrorist forces installed radar systems on the ship and use it to track vessels in international waters to advance Houthi terror activity.”
The vessel was also turned into a “tourist attraction,” drawing crowds who arrived by small fishing boats and stepped on American and Israeli flags while Houthi music played over loudspeakers.

Israel Takes Revenge, Unleashes Thunderstorm Of Bombs On Yemen
Muslim soldiers are dismissed from the Army after sharing graphic helmet-cam videos of murdered victims after Hamas October 7 attacks
Two Muslim British Army soldiers shared graphic helmet-cam videos of murdered and desecrated dead bodies after the Hamas October 7 attacks, a court martial heard.
Signaller Zakariya Munir and Signaller Mohammed Salah sent on ‘grossly offensive’ videos capturing the horrific aftermath of the atrocities the day after they took place.
The servicemen claimed ‘you won’t see this in the media’ as they shared clips of corpses being kicked and montages of ‘dead civilians lying in pools of blood’.
The clips were believed to have been filmed from Hamas terrorists after they carried out the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
The pair also shared another ‘exceptionally violent piece of footage’ showing an execution carried out by ISIS extremists.
The court martial was told Sig Munir found the videos of the ‘war crimes’ and mutilated bodies in the Middle East and sent them to colleague Sig Salah.
The soldiers exchanged messages about the content, with Sig Munir telling Sig Salah that they would not be shown in the media. Young father Sig Salah then sent them on to other service personnel.
Now, the pair of soldiers have both been dismissed from the Army.
