PACIFIC PALISADES — On one side of the street lie the ashes of ruined houses, lost to the huge blazes that defeated Los Angeles firefighters when hydrants ran dry. On the other side, a small village of shops is still intact, watched over by tanker trucks and an army of private firemen. More than a week after enormous blazes spread unchecked through swathes of America's second largest metropolis, questions are being asked about how some of the city's super-rich seem to have survived almost unscathed. "All I can say is that we got hired and we have been ordered to stay here. I'm not allowed to tell you more than that." a man in a yellow and green uniform told AFP in front of the commercial development. The men, along with their pick-up trucks with Oregon licence plates, were stationed at property owned by billionaire developer Rick Caruso.

Tucker interviewed investigative reporter and author Michael Shellenberger. They discussed the California fires. The first warning came out from a local reporter on January 1. Broad warnings were announced on Jan. 2, and a public announcement was made. Despite explicit knowledge that fires were coming, the mayor went to Ghana, and the governor did not prepare. It should have been immediate mobilization. There was zero doubt that the fires were coming. It’s all about prevention. After the fires come, it’s too late. Homeless people set half the fires in LA, and it’s allowed. [One also has to wonder about the armies of illegal aliens, military-age men, coming in from enemy countries. No one knows how the fire started.]

President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration could be the most militarized in U.S. history, according to a report released Monday. Citing U.S. officials, The Telegraph reports that nearly 7,800 soldiers will join approximately police officers to patrol Washington, DC during the “peaceful transfer of power.” The newspaper also reveals that two FBI field offices, a swarm of drones, and at least 30 miles of fencing will be used to keep Trump and inauguration guests— including world leaders and top U.S. lawmakers from across the country—safe from a series of potential violent threats. Despite receiving no specific threats targeting Trump, law enforcement officials are “prepared” for the worst, according to the outlet. Additionally, National Guard members from all 50 states will operate checkpoints, where inauguration observers will enter the National Mall in front of the Capitol building, while the federal government will enact a no-fly zone over D.C. A host of items have been barred from the inauguration area, including laptops, water bottles, and even selfie sticks.

The U.S. is increasingly fractured along cultural, political and geographic lines, with rural vs. urban, red vs. blue, and citizens vs. government tensions creating irreconcilable divisions. Geopolitical analyst Doug Casey predicts the U.S. breaking down into regional nation-states, with areas like Texas seceding to form self-governing entities, citing the inefficiency of governing 350 million people under one system. Modern immigration, coupled with government welfare policies, is seen as exacerbating cultural divides, as newcomers often lack traditional American values, leading to societal friction. Casey also warns of the U.S. dollar's impending decline due to government bankruptcy, with global central banks shifting to gold and BRICS nations proposing alternative currencies, further destabilizing the economy. Casey advocates for technological solutions like blockchain and decentralized energy systems to empower individuals and communities, reducing reliance on a collapsing centralized government.

I have mentioned... many times... how The Avatar sweeps clean the planes above this one, and forces the dark entities outward into The Material Plane where they are dealt with. Surely you have noticed the massive increase in The Insane... over recent decades. When you factor in The Gender Bender Crazy... and the vast sea of other sexually distorted personalities... along with the murderous religious fundamentalists... The Climate Crazies... The Social Justice Unhinged... The Politically imbalanced... The Racially Charged Psychos... The Drug and Alcohol Deranged, and... no doubt; I am leaving many of them out. It can easily be presumed that their numbers run into the tens of millions... if not hundreds of millions. These are all hijacked physical vehicles that were occupied by these evicted entities. Well, you might ask; where does The Avatar get off with causing all this mayhem? Good question. Well... the truth is that they were already influencing existence from the less visible planes and it's harder to eliminate what you can't see.

A January 13th Haaretz news-report, “Trump’s Mideast Envoy Forced Netanyahu to Accept a Gaza Plan He Repeatedly Rejected”, indicated that Witkoff had basically shoved aside the Biden team (Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken, etc.) who, all along, have been backing Netanyahu’s plan to add Gaza to Israel, and that whereas until now Biden has been doing Netanyahu’s bidding on the entire Gaza matter, Netanyahu is now doing Trump’s bidding on it.

An alarming peer-reviewed study has confirmed that Covid mRNA “vaccines” caused a staggering 112,000% surge in deadly blood clots in the brain. The major study involved one of the world’s leading cardiologists, Dr. Peter McCullough. During the study, the team of leading American researchers found that Covid mRNA injections carry a risk of brain clots that is 1,119.6 times higher than the flu shot. Dr. McCullough and his team published their study’s results in the prestigious International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science (IJIRMS). The study was conducted by Doctors McCullough, Kirstin Cosgrove, James Thorp, and Claire Rogers.

US President-elect Donald Trump has demanded “all records” be preserved for potential review. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has confirmed the closure of its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in a statement to Fox News. The sudden announcement prompted President-elect Donald Trump to call for transparency regarding the office’s activities and funding. The FBI did not specify the exact reason for the closure, but the move aligns with Trump’s campaign pledge to reduce DEI initiatives across federal agencies as soon as he is sworn in as the 47th US president on Monday. “In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,” the agency said in a statement first cited by Fox News on Thursday.

According to Baiba Braze, putting European boots on the ground in Ukraine would cause escalation for the EU that has been shying away from it. NATO troops are not prepared to engage in combat operations in Ukraine, and the alliance sticks to the strategy of supporting Kiev, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze revealed. "Currently, NATO is not ready to enter the war, because the clear concept is that Ukraine’s self-defense is supported, everybody provides what is necessary, but nobody wants to be part of the war, fighting the war," Latvia’s top diplomat told The Kyiv Independent in an interview. According to her, putting European boots on the ground in Ukraine would cause escalation for the EU that has been shying away from it.

Maria Zakharova stressed that Washington and Kiev are indeed working together, doing "everything to halt supplies of stable, reasonably priced and high quality Russian gas to Europe. The terrorist attack against the Russkaya compressor station in the Krasnodar Region was made at the prompting of the US, official spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said. "Grounds are in place to believe that the terrorist attack at the compressor station; this refers to the TurkStream gas pipeline, in the Krasnodar Region, on January 11 was made at the prompting of Washington," the diplomat said. Washington and Kiev are indeed working together, doing "everything to halt supplies of stable, reasonably priced and high quality Russian gas to Europe and clear the market for expensive US LNG," she stressed.

The exact opposite of what Kagan posited is true: Russia can’t militarily control Ukraine indefinitely; a Russian-American brinksmanship scenario is terrifyingly realistic; and Putin is indeed interested in compromising but only under certain conditions. Hugely influential neoconservative thinker Robert Kagan recently published a lengthy diatribe at The Atlantic fearmongering about Russia’s total and indefinite control of Ukraine, which he takes for granted if Trump doesn’t redouble aid to Ukraine. It’s premised on the presumptions that Russia can military control all of Ukraine indefinitely, there’s no realistic Russian-American brinksmanship scenario over that country, and Putin is unwilling to compromise. The following three arguments tear apart his claims:

Autumn Tulip Harper, 25, was sentenced to just four years after being found guilty of molesting his five-year-old daughter in Australia. Reduxx states that Australian law enforcement identified Harper after American law enforcement arrested another pedophile he had been chatting with online in 2023. Harper sent the arrested American child abuse material (CSAM) over the platform Discord.

The Justice Department granted a plea deal to a gang leader in MS-13, allowing him to avoid both the death penalty and a life sentence despite his admission to committing seven heinous murders. Jairo Saenz, 28, known by the nickname “Funny,” will face “up to 60 years in prison, and a minimum sentence of 40 years in prison under the terms of his plea agreement” when he is sentenced, per a Tuesday release from the Justice Department. Saenz and his brother, Alexi Saenz, led a branch of MS-13 in Suffolk County, New York, known as the Sailors. The pair developed a reputation for brutality.

The devastating fires that hit Los Angeles may not have been random. According to an anonymous source affiliated with the World Economic Forum (WEF), these events are part of a well-orchestrated plan by the globalist elite to confiscate land, poison the environment and restructure the city according to the dictates of the so-called “New World Order”. The “Build Back Better” Agenda Behind the seemingly innocuous slogan of “Build Back Better” lies a sinister strategy: destroy the old to rebuild a new world, designed to consolidate power in the hands of a few. The insider claims that the fires were deliberately started to devastate communities and property, paving the way for the creation of the so-called “15-minute cities”. These urban settlements, promoted as innovative and sustainable, hide a very different reality.

An empty reservoir and dry fire hydrants are now the symbols of California and local officials' response to the horrific Pacific Palisades wildfire—one of six Santa Ana windblown firestorms still burning in Los Angeles. Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation to demonstrate that he's doing something, but the damage is being done right now. The 117 million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir was empty and down for maintenance when the devastating fire was sparked, perhaps in the brush, between the homes and the Pacific Coast Highway. You can see a map of the area in my story Good Intentions Might Be the Cause of Devastating Palisades Fire. Friday, officials confirmed that the reservoir had been down for nearly a year —closing in February 2024—for maintenance to the cover of the reservoir. The New York Times reports that a contractor was hired in November to fix a crack in the cover. It is unclear why the reservoir had to be shut down for that extended period of time. The ripple effect was beyond devastating.

A Special Report on the GLADIO-Staged BANKSTER-Funded, BLACKROCK-Sponsored, NWO GLOBALIST-Designed, US GOVERNMENT-Directed, KHAZARIAN CABAL-Ordered FIREPOCALYPSE of 2025 It will come as a great surprise to even the most well informed criminal investigators and state-sponsored terrorism researchers that the LA firestorms this January are really much more than what has thus far been disseminated throughout the Alt Media. However, before we do the deep dive down that dangerous and diabolical rabbit hole, it’s always of paramount importance to understand this: That whenever such an apocalyptic “shock and awe” terrorist operation on the order of 9/11 is transparently carried out so as to capture the attention of the leaders of the entire world community of nations, as well as to fearfully captivate the whole human race, the explicit purpose is always to graphically issue a dire WARNING.

Merkel's open border policies, green energy initiatives, and other economic measures have the country on the rapid decline. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing intense backlash, including from her own political party, over a new memoir she wrote that is a nightmare for German political parties looking to stop the ascending right-wing AfD party. She wrote the book hoping to “secure her crumbling legacy,” The Wall Street Journal reported, noting that “the effort is backfiring.” The more than 700-page book was “riling up even some of her most ardent supporters” because she does not believe that any of her failed policies were bad for the country — including allowing millions of Muslim refugees from the Middle East to be resettled in Germany. Powerful German state broadcaster ARD titled the headline of their report on her book: “Much pride, little self-reflection.”

"For those laughing at California right now, it's not just here, it's all across the country. Minnesota, Illinois, Washington, you name it, every state in the nation has been infiltrated with Communist scum." Chancellor of Germany, like Angela Merkel. If I was a Communist, I could even be mayor of Los Angeles. According to the Independent Sentinel, the alleged mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, is a revolutionary Communist. (I say alleged mayor, because I believe Bass lost the mayoral election to Rick Caruso in 2022, but was fraudulently installed. It's a belief shared by virtually everyone living in Los Angeles with an IQ over 70.) The article in the Sentinel states "Bass supported Fidel Castro for his entire career as a mass-murdering communist and visited Cuba several times a year. She belonged to an organization in the '70s and '80s that trained revolutionaries in terror attacks to be used against the United States. This is according to the LAPD at the time." That's pretty extreme. The article goes on to say that Bass made over fifteen trips to communist Cuba in the 1970s, including several trips with the Venceremos Brigade, a group dedicated to spreading communism around the world. The article states that one of the purposes for Bass's trips to Cuba was to brainwash leftists into partaking in violent revolution. That's even more extreme.
