Image is of Yemen seizing the first ship in its blockade of Israel (the Galaxy Leader) with a helicopter raid.


Alternate title: What If It Was The Bab El-Womandeb And It Was Just For The Ladies?

Ansarallah is a key component of the broader Resistance movement, backed by Iran, and has been a stalwart member in engineering the ongoing collapse of Zionism. It has steadily escalated both its rhetoric and, rarely nowadays, its actions, proving that the mythical "red line" might actually exist in the world after all, after going MIA in both Russia and China. It has been striking first Israel-owned ships heading through the Bab el-Mandeb - the strait that leads into the Red Sea and then to the Suez Canal - and, recently, has demonstrated its promise that any ships that intend to dock in Israel will be attacked. While this is really only half a blockade, the cost of going around Africa is significant, and Western insurance companies really don't like it when their ships get blasted by missiles and drones. Several shipping companies have already stated their intention to alter/stop shipping routes through the Red Sea, trying to prompt the West to find a "solution".

Despite US naval presence in the area, Yemen possesses the ability to strike the oil refining facilities of the Gulf monarchies, leaving the US in a very difficult position. If they attack Yemen, then not only do Western ships risk being attacked directly, but those oil refineries may go up in smoke depending on if they help the West - and global oil prices will skyrocket, in an already declining world economy - and it might cost several Western leaders their leadership positions, including Biden himself. A regional war could ultimately tumble into worldwide chaos.

Equally, however, the US cannot afford to lose Israel. It is the single most important American imperial outpost, perhaps alongside Taiwan. If Zionism is destroyed as a local destabilizing influence, then the Russia-China-Iran axis will find itself in a leadership position over the region. Israeli military losses in Gaza increase every single day as they advance further into the labyrinth death trap under the obligation to show some kind of military victory, with Hamas' strategy of attrition taking its toll. And Hezbollah sits there, having destroyed most of the border infrastructure, silently threatening the obliteration of Israel's infrastructure under the rain of a hundred thousand missiles.

As world attention gradually shifts away from the Gaza genocide, we continue to approach the brink.

While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

We managed to ambush & neutralize 4 enemy jeeps in a well-prepared ambush in Juhur al-Dik, central Gaza.

We detonated a complex field of anti-personnel and anti-armor mines, crushing the force, resulting in the death of all its members. Additionally, an IOF tank rushed to the scene, we also destroyed with a Yasin-105 rocket.

The rescue & evacuation forces in the operation area were targeted with the "Rajoom" rockets and heavy-caliber mortars.

Zionist ambulances & vehicles were observed transporting the casualties from the site.

Ancap Update: ancaptain

The spokesman for the Argentine Presidency, Manuel Adorni, said that the police operation set up on Wednesday to cover that day's demonstrations would have to be paid for by the organizers.

The cost of the operation on Wednesday was 60 million pesos (74,000 dollars): the Polo Obrero, the Evita Movement, Libres del Sur, Barrios de Pie and 10 other organizations will have to pay it.

In total, the amount is the equivalent of more than 60 million pesos.

Some good news in Guatemala. Indigenous rights have been upheld by the Inter-American Court of Human rights. A mine that's been in operating for two decades has been ruled as violating the rights of a local indigenous groups. The article ignores that Guatemala's black population is mostly found in that department as well and have their drinking water poisoned by the mine. It's about time it was shut down. It seems like the events in Panama have sparked something and I hope this momentum can keep up.

Argentines to Prepare National Strike Against Milei's Abuses

“A decree was promulgated repealing many laws and appealing to a need and urgency that do not exist,” a health worker explained.

The Workers' General Central (CGT), the Central of Workers of Argentina (CTA) and other social organizations called for a march on Dec, 27 in front of the courts of Buenos Aires to demand the annulment of the urgency decree signed by the President Javier Milei.

In the next week, the workers will also define the date for carrying out a national stoppage against the economic adjustment policies applied by the far-right regime aligned with the shock technique.

More specifically, Argentines seek the repeal of over 300 legal reforms that directly impact labor legislation, deregulate broad sectors of economic activity, and also reduce the revenue-generating capacity of union organizations.

"The decree of urgent need cannot be endorsed. We will not remain in simple statements, we will go into action," said CGT Secretary Mario Manrique, who is also the deputy secretary of the Union of Automotive Transport Mechanics (SMATA).

“We demand the repeal of the decree. The environment for going on a national strike exists,” said Hector Daer, the secretary of the Federation of Health Workers Associations of Argentina (FATSA).

“We never imagined that the values innate to our history would be transgressed so easily. A decree was promulgated repealing many laws and appealing to a need and urgency that do not exist,” he explained.

Organizations linked to the Central Workers of Argentina (CTA) will meet to analyze the adoption of forceful measures against Milei's brutal decree.

At the demand of their imperial overlords the Danish government has signed a so-called "defense agreement" with the Washington regime. The agreement can not be terminated for ten years although it is unlikely that the Danish elite would ever get such ideas.

The agreement lets the evil empire place troops at three airbases. Crimes committed by these foreign troops, even in their time off, will be prosecuted by American military courts, thereby denying local victims effective recourse to justice.

This is the best treatment foreign troops had had on Danish soil since the Nazi occupation during WWII. Danish troops will get no reciprocal treatment inside the evil empire proper.

The so-called "agreement" is widely backed by Danish parliament.

Annual review 2023. Today: Cuba. Slight recovery from previous crises despite tightened blockade

Despite further tightened US sanctions, the country was able to recover somewhat from the consequences of the pandemic and the effects of the global crises. The gross domestic product, which after a decline of almost eleven percent in 2020, grew again by 1.3 percent in 2021 and by a further 1.8 percent in 2022, is expected to increase in the current year, according to an estimate by the London economic institute Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). of 2.5 percent and increase to around four percent annually in 2024. Gross fixed capital formation and private consumption also came out of negative territory again this year.

“The economy is still in a difficult situation,” admitted Economy Minister Alejandro Gil at a plenary session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (PCC) in mid-December. The government and citizens are rightly dissatisfied with the development, said President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who was confirmed in office in April by the newly elected parliament the previous month, at the meeting. A year ago, economists had forecast growth of three percent for 2023 at constant prices. Gil has now confirmed that the expected values will not be achieved. Among the main factors that had a negative impact were the tightening of the blockade, the multidimensional economic crisis, the increase in international prices, the insufficient generation of foreign exchange and the macroeconomic imbalances of the Cuban economy, he said.

rest of article:

Throughout the year, national production for both domestic consumption and export was affected due to the fuel deficit and lack of productive inputs. Gil cited other causes as rural labor shortages, low agricultural yields, budget deficits, a decline in supply in the state sector and speculation, as well as the ineffectiveness of measures to curb them.

After there were restrictions on state-subsidized food rations via the ration book called "Libretta" in the fall, the standard food basket for families, which "costs us $1.6 billion," will be one of the country's basic priorities next year, Gil assured . Other priorities include improving electricity generation and fuel availability. In 2023, it was already possible to reduce power outages by 32 percent compared to 2022. Price increases also eased. The number of state-owned companies with losses has also declined, Gil said. However, some of the total of almost 1,950 state-owned companies apparently still often operate inefficiently and at a loss.

Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz added to Gil's statements that the "war economy scenario" must be expected to continue in 2024 due to the US blockade and the international crisis. And further: "We must understand that the resources we can count on in 2024 are those that we produce ourselves." The head of government explained that "in addition to objective difficulties, there are also our own shortcomings" that need to be overcome. Among other things, he pointed out that the decline in foreign exchange income is currently not being offset by a sufficient reduction in expenditure and criticized the failure to effectively integrate non-state activities into the economy. The priority measures for the coming year, according to Marrero Cruz, are aimed at increasing foreign exchange earnings and increasing national production and foreign investment - with a particular focus on food production - in order to achieve a stable supply of goods.

Helpers all over the world

The increase in the number of tourists after the pandemic contributed primarily to the slight recovery in the economy. According to the National Statistics and Information Office (ONEI), 1.81 million visitors came to the country between January and September in 2023, 68.8 percent more than in the same period last year. However, the number in 2019 was almost twice as high. The largest groups came from Canada and the USA (Cubans visiting family), followed by guests from the Russian Federation. After tens of thousands of Russian citizens were forced to cancel trips to Cuba that had already been booked in 2022 as a result of the sanctions imposed against Russia, 120,000 Russian vacationers were able to visit the island again by September of this year, an increase of 77 percent.

In addition to expanding the tourist infrastructure and economic relations with Brazil, Russia, China and Vietnam, Cuba strengthened its contacts with other countries. In June, Díaz-Canel was able to agree new trade agreements with Serbia and Italy during a trip to Europe. He then took part in discussions in Paris on a new global financial pact for the “Group of 77 plus,” which Cuba had been given the chairmanship of in January. In this role, Díaz-Canel also represented the countries of the Global South at a three-day summit of BRICS countries in Johannesburg in August. He had previously signed bilateral cooperation agreements in Angola, Namibia and Mozambique. But the socialist island republic not only looked for trading partners in the world, but also provided internationalist help to other countries - despite its own problems caused by the US blockade. After the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, for example, helpers from the Cuban medical brigade “Henry Reeve” traveled to the affected areas in February.

While Cuba's positive role in the world was highlighted by nearly all speakers at the annual UN debate on the US blockade in November, Washington continues to ignore the global community's almost unanimous call for an end to all sanctions. In doing so, the USA is violating international law, according to an international tribunal that met on November 16 and 17, 2023 at the headquarters of the EU Parliament in Brussels. But despite the worldwide condemnation of their blockade, Washington is trying to achieve its stated goal of overthrowing the Cuban government by force. Unhindered by the US police, an assassin used Molotov cocktails to attack the Cuban embassy in the US capital at the end of September, just a few hours after President Díaz-Canel spoke in the UN General Assembly as a representative of the "G77 plus". In December, Cuban Interior Ministry units arrested several suspects who, in conjunction with terrorist groups in Florida, had planned attacks and other "destabilizing actions" in Cuba at the turn of the year. Foreign Minister Rodríguez accused the US government of “protection and tolerance for those sponsoring acts of terrorism against Cuba in the USA” as “tantamount to complicity”.

Denmark's succdem-led right-wing government, that labels itself as the adults in the room reaching across the aisle to make tough choices and exclude the radical outer wings, is widely unpopular and is seeing it's worst polling yet since the 2022 election that led to it being formed.

In 2022 the succdem party, the (right) liberal party and an astroturfed centrist party created as a vehicle for foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen's continues political career, received 89 seats in total, being able to form a majority government. Today polls predict they would only get 61.

The government has made itself unpopular by abolishing a public holiday for no apparent reason other than the economy. Prominent succdems, including prime minister Mette Frederiksen, has made bizarre comments about Danes being spoilt and lazy for not wanting to work more hours. Frederiksen's attempts to scare the people into submission by harping on about how dangerous the world is today has not borne much fruit either. Lars Løkke Rasmussen's party, whose MP's are recruited among those centrists who were too weird to have a career in other parties, has had a string of scandals involving everything from pedophilia and sexual harassment to an MP lying about being a successful entrepreneur. The liberal party has spent a lot of energy on running down and replacing their incompetent and feckless leader.

Left-leaning voters are angry at the succdems for entering into a coalition with the right while right-leaning voters are angry at the two openly right-wing parties for entering into coalition with "the reds" and for breaking a campaign promise of investigating prime minister Mette Frederiksen for giving a blatantly illegal order to cull minks during COVID.

The government had hoped that recent promises of tax breaks and raises to public employees would make them more popular but it doesn't seem to have cooled the anger of voters.

The winners in the polls are Liberal Alliance, a half-frivolous libertarian party with frat boy vibes who is becoming the main right wing party by means of default as the liberals and the conservatives are too dysfunctional to appeal to people and then the Socialist People's Party, a greener and slightly less chuddy succdem party who originally split from the communist party way back in time.

Your Tuesday Briefing

Developing countries spent $443 billion in 2022 to service their public debt, which could have otherwise been spent on social welfare, infrastructure, or climate change mitigation. This is 5% higher from a year earlier and could increase by 10% in 2023-2024. For the world's 75 poorest countries, their debt service payments are predicted to rise 40% over 2023-2024.

Germany and Norway's Equinor have signed a €50 billion deal, its biggest long-term gas contract in nearly 40 years, supplying Germany with 129 billion cubic meters of gas up to 2039, or a third of the country's industrial demand. Norway supplies half of the EU's piped gas. Meanwhile, German business sentiment continues to fall, particularly in the construction industry, which is at its lowest since September 2005.

Iraq has held its first provincial elections in a decade, with a turnout of 67%.

In Kazakhstan, the Chinese company Shipbuilding Industry Corp., is exp-- wait, what? Shipbuilding Industry Corp.? Shipbuilding Industry Corp?! Oh yeah, let me call my fucking agricultural company "Food Growing Inc." We should have named Hexbear "Online Communist Forum" instead. ...anyway, they wanna build container facilities in the port cities of Aktau and Kuryk, and other Chinese companies also want to modernize and improve railway lines and their throughput in Kazakhstan and in Kyrgyzstan. There's also increasing air connectivity to China in the region.

Sisi in Egypt has won the presidential election with 89.6% of the vote, with a turnout of 66.8%, the highest in Egyptian history.

US Steel has been sold to Japan's Nippon Steel in a $14.9 billion deal, with several US politicians vowing to block it in a very non-free market move.

Chileans have rejected the new constitution drafted by the far-right. A year ago, they also rejected a left-wing constitution. So now we're just back where we started, with the Pinochet-era constitution. What a tremendous waste of time.

Colombia's drug war is flaring up again after the FARC, the largest armed revolutionary group in the country, entered peace negotiations in 2016. With this, the drug vacuum was filled by organized crime, due to a lack of alternative ways of generating money for many Colombians. The ELN, a Marxist revolutionary group, is training to take on narcotraffickers, as it was designed by the CIA and the Pentagon.

Several global maritime agencies, as well as fossil fuel giant BP, have paused all transit through the Red Sea until further notice due to missile and drone threats. This is a capital strike against the West to force them to address Yemen by targeting Ansarallah - and they are, through "Operation Prosperity Guardian".

Denmark should condemn 'Israeli' war crimes, increase Danish aid to Palestine and work towards a political resolution to the conflict

This was the text of a petition that was debated in Denmark's parliament after having been signed by more than 80.000 citizens.

To the surprise of nobody who has understood the true depravity of so-called western values, parliament rejected the petition. Only the Red-Greens (demsocs) and the Alternative (well-meaning green radlibs) voted in favour. The Socialist People's Party (succdems who occasionally smokes weed) and the Social Liberals (centrist neolibs with a human face) abstained. Everyone else voted against.

The succdems (who never smokes weed) voted against for the made-up reason that parliament couldn't determine whether war crimes had been perpetrated or not and also because the petition didn't condenm Hamas enough and didn't demand the release of zionist POW's.

The petition gained enough signatures to be sent to parliament very fast and the organisers feels politicians are out of touch with the Danish people on the Palestinian genocide. The succdems rejects this and claims that the government's position that the zionist entity "has the right to defend itself but also have to follow international rules" is a balanced view that resonates with most Danes.

Justice Has Triumphed, Says Venezuelan President on Saab Release

"After 1,280 days of kidnapping, the truth has triumphed, justice has triumphed."

The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, received this Wednesday at the Miraflores Palace the diplomat Alex Saab, whose release he described as a victory of the Bolivarian Diplomacy of Peace.

"The only truth is that Alex Saab's only crime was to overcome criminal sanctions, looking for medicines in times of COVID-19 pandemic," Maduro said upon receiving the Venezuelan diplomat.

"It is a time of vindication of the truth, hatred, vengeance and lies could not today and never could with us hatred, fascism, revenge, violence, nor persecution, because we Venezuelans are made of steels and centuries of struggle," the president added.

Maduro also extended his gratitude to those who "have led this entire process that has allowed this exchange today with the Government of the United States of America, and the safe and free rescue of Alex Saab Morán."

In this regard the president thanked the members of the Barbados Negotiation Commission: Dr. Gerardo Blyde; the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez; First Lady Cilia Flores; the diplomat's wife, Camilla Fabri; Alex Saab's children and the men and women of the Free Alex Saab Movement, inside and outside Venezuela, for promoting the struggle for Saab's release.

Maduro ratified his willingness to walk a path of respect, of equal treatment with the U.S. Government, in order to move towards a different stage of relations. "Today we have taken a step and hopefully the path for a process of respect, of equal treatment and understanding between the United States of America and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will be achieved," said the Venezuelan president.

For his part, diplomat Saab said that "life is a constant miracle and today the miracle of freedom, the miracle of justice has come true."

Saab also thanked those who supported him during his kidnapping. "Thanks to the people of Venezuela. I am proud to serve the people of Venezuela and to serve this Government, a humane Government, a loyal Government, a Government that does not abandon and a Government that, like me, never gives up."

Israel investigates death of detainee

Israeli police have questioned 19 prison guards over the death of a Palestinian prisoner and released them "under strict conditions." According to reports from the WAFA press agency, the detainee from the West Bank died in November after being beaten by guards. According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Association, around 7,800 Palestinian prisoners were in Israeli custody as of early December.

We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
