U.S. Military Troops on Standby for Possible Deployment to Minnesota
January 18th, 2026Via: NPR:
Up to 1,500 U.S. active-duty troops in Alaska are on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota, a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed to NPR.
The move comes days after President Trump again threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to control ongoing protests over the immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis as well as clashes between federal agents and residents. Trump later walked back that threat.
The troops on standby are from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, which specializes in cold weather operations, according to the division’s website.
“Bank of England Must Plan for Financial Crisis Sparked by Aliens”
January 17th, 2026Via: The Times:
The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed.
Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy.
She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe.
McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest.

January 17th, 2026Via: First Post:
The first US sale of the Venezuelan crude oil was to a company whose senior member had donated to US President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. The sale was conducted last week to a company called Vitol, The Financial Times reported. Interestingly, John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol, donated $6 million to political action committees backing Trump’s re-election campaign.
He also attended the meeting Trump had with oil executives at the White House and was also involved in his company’s efforts to secure a $250 million deal for Venezuelan crude.
Nick Shirley: More Minnesota Fraud
January 16th, 2026Pay close attention at 45:54, where the video turns to how millions of dollars in cash is moved through airports in suitcases. The cash couriers were openly declaring the cash to TSA agents. It appears that this was explicitly allowed by the Federal Government:

Trump: ‘Anything Less’ Than U.S. Control Of Greenland Is ‘Unacceptable’
January 14th, 2026Trump’s argument for seizing Greenland, that Russia or China will seize it if the U.S. doesn’t, makes no sense. Greenland (an autonomous territory of Denmark) falls under the protection of NATO. Therefore, if Russia or China attempted to seize Greenland, that would trigger a unified response from the NATO alliance under Article 5.
So, what’s the actual motivation?
Oil?
Minerals?
Something weird you saw on 4Chan?
Other?
I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem like this is going away.
Via: ZeroHedge:
President Trump said early Wednesday on Truth Social that anything less than full American control of Greenland would be “unacceptable” – and even cited its necessity in erecting the new Golden Dome missile defense system.
“The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!” Trump wrote.
The statement was issued just ahead of Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s meeting with officials from the large far northern island and NATO member Denmark at the White House.
“Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent – Not even close! They know that, and so do I,” Trump continued.
“NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES,” he asserted, adding that “anything less than that is unacceptable.”

Britain: Digital ID Cards Won’t Be Compulsory
January 14th, 2026Mmm hmm.
Via: Daily Mail:
Labour was forced into another humiliating U-turn on Tuesday night after abandoning its plans for mandatory digital IDs for workers.
Keir Starmer had vowed to crack down on illegal immigration by making digital identification compulsory to verify a person’s right to work in the UK.
But he has been forced into a 13th U-turn since becoming Prime Minister, and has watered down the mandatory element of the ID scheme following a public backlash.
Digital IDs will now be optional when they are introduced in 2029 – with workers allowed to use other documents to verify their identity digitally.
All other aspects of the scheme were set to be voluntary – meaning Britons will not have to adopt an official digital ID at all when they are introduced.
UK Government Video Game Warns Kids They May Be Terrorists For Questioning Mass Migration
January 13th, 2026Via: Modernity News:
In a chilling move, the UK government has rolled out a taxpayer-funded video game that paints every curious teenager as a potential far-right extremist. The “Pathways” game, backed by the Home Office’s Prevent counter-terrorism program, threatens young players with referrals to anti-terror experts simply for questioning unchecked mass migration or engaging with online debates about British identity.
This indoctrination tool assumes teens are one wrong click away from radicalisation, equating basic concerns over job competition or veteran housing with illegal hate groups. It’s a blatant assault on free thought, designed to stifle dissent and enforce globalist narratives in schools—exposing the state’s tightening grip on the next generation.
The game, developed by Shout Out UK with funding from Prevent, targets 11- to 18-year-olds. Players guide a character named Charlie—using “they” pronouns—through everyday scenarios that quickly spiral into warnings of extremism.
