Archeologists Unearth Clues About Life in the Roman Empire, and Early Christianity, in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis
Active excavation resumed in 2023 after a seven-year pause that had stemmed in part from the COVID-19 pandemic.
From a variety of sources, it's known that the settlement at Trimithis reached back to the New Kingdom (1550–1069 BCE), but the majority of its extensive visible remains hail from 250–450 CE, a period when Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire.
The Temple of Thoth stood on one of the highest points of the settlement and would have dominated the town’s skyline for much of its history.
We uncovered, for instance, an ancient classroom—one of the few ever discovered archaeologically, since there were few dedicated learning spaces in antiquity.
("But may god grant my wishes that you all learn the Muses’ honeyed works, with all the Graces and with Hermes son of Maia reaching the full summit of rhetorical knowledge. … Work hard for me, toils make men manly …", etc.)

8 November 2024
The IDF told the BBC that it only targets military sites. But those targets are incredibly close to the Baalbek temples and Roman ruins in Tyre, a major port of the Phoenician Empire around 2,500 years ago.
According to legend, Tyre is the place where purple pigment was first created - the dye crushed out of snail shells to embroider royal robes.

"The geological structure of the Rujm el-Hiri's area has been shaped by the tectonic evolution of the region, leading to the rotation of blocks and, therefore, the migration of its location and the direction of the main entrance and the radial walls over time," write the researchers in their published paper.
Researchers think construction on the site may have commenced as far back as 4500 BCE, though various sections would have been rebuilt and added right up to the Bronze Age around 3600 to 2300 BCE, possibly with a few extra tweaks over the following centuries.

Per NASA, stargazers can enjoy a sweeping view of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars in a planetary parade happening each night all month long. While spotting multiple planets in alignment isn't entirely rare, this occurrence doesn't happen every year so it's worth checking out, the space agency said.

In a recent study, a team of NASA researchers developed a new system of lunar time for all lunar assets and those in cis-lunar space. They recommend that this system’s foundation be relativistic time transformations, known more generally as “time dilation.” Such a system will allow for coordination and effective timekeeping on the Moon by addressing discrepancies caused by gravitational potential differences and relative motion.

The Ocean Teems With Networks of Interconnected Bacteria
By

January 6, 2025
Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is far more interconnected than anyone realized.
The microbes are likely the most abundant photosynthetic organism on the planet, and they create a significant portion — 10% to 20% — of the atmosphere’s oxygen. That means that life on Earth depends on the roughly 3 octillion (or 3 × 1027) tiny individual cells toiling away

In a move that reeks of political expediency and redefines the term "hypocrisy," Meta has decided to dismantle its fact-checking program. This decision comes on the heels of years where the company, formerly known as Facebook, has played a pivotal role in shaping political discourse, especially during American elections.
For years, Meta has been at the center of controversies, accused of wielding its vast influence to sway public opinion. The company's actions have been anything but neutral. It's no secret that Meta spent millions, if not billions, on initiatives designed to mold the political landscape, often under the guise of combating misinformation. Yet, here we are, watching as Meta pulls the rug from under its own fact-checking operations, claiming a newfound commitment to "free speech."
Let's not forget the 2016 election, where the narrative of Russian interference on Meta's platforms was used to justify a dramatic increase in content moderation. Fast forward to 2020, where the company was again under the microscope for its handling of political ads and news stories, notably those affecting the Biden campaign. Meta's fact-checkers, once hailed as guardians of truth, were accused by many of bias, particularly against conservative voices.
The company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has now decided that these fact-checkers, previously deemed essential, were too "politically biased" and have "destroyed more trust than they've created." This statement would be laughable if it weren't so audacious. After spending an untold fortune to control narratives, suddenly, the sanctity of free speech is paramount?
The timing of this policy shift is no coincidence. With the recent election results that saw Donald Trump clinch victory, Meta's pivot to a community-driven fact-checking model, similar to what's seen on X (formerly Twitter), seems more like an attempt to curry favor with new political powers than a genuine commitment to free expression. It's rich, isn't it? After years of curbing what they deemed "misinformation," the very act of fact-checking is now seen as an impediment to free speech.
This reversal isn't just a policy change; it's an admission of the manipulative power Meta has held over public discourse. The company that once banned opposition voices, suppressed stories, and manipulated what information reached the masses is now claiming the moral high ground. How convenient!
One has to wonder: if Meta truly cared about free speech, why the drastic measures in the past? Why the selective enforcement that seemed to align too closely with certain political outcomes? The answer is clear: power, influence, and perhaps a dash of hubris.
The removal of fact-checkers, especially in the wake of an election where their involvement was so deeply scrutinized, smacks of hypocrisy. It's a strategic retreat, not out of principle, but likely out of political necessity. This move might be celebrated by some as a victory for free speech, but it's hard to see it as anything more than a calculated shift to preserve Meta's standing in a newly shaped political landscape.
To the citizens of America, remember this: the platforms that once sought to control your information flow are now stepping back, not out of a newfound respect for your autonomy, but because they've been caught in their own web of influence. The irony is palpable, and the hypocrisy, well, that's just rich.

Monday - January 13th
North: Snowflakes fall from the sky, just like the liberal tears in New York. Highs in the low 30s.
South: Sunny and warm, but watch out for those alligator tears in Florida. Temps in the mid-70s.
West: The Golden State's sun is out, but LA's smog might be thicker than usual with all the Hollywood elite in hiding. Highs around 70.
Midwest: Corn fields are frozen solid, metaphorically and literally. Expect the usual Midwestern chill, with temps dipping into the 20s.
Tuesday - January 14th
Nationwide: A storm of controversy brews over the Electoral College, leading to a metaphoric "cloudy" day across the country. Actual weather? Meh, who cares, right?
Wednesday - January 15th
East Coast: Wind gusts from DC, possibly from all the hot air about the upcoming event. Highs in the 40s.
West Coast: A high pressure system of denial keeps the weather clear, but expect some "fog" around Silicon Valley as tech bros contemplate their future.
Thursday - January 16th
South: Tornado watches in effect, but they're nothing compared to the political storm brewing. Warm, with highs in the 70s.
Midwest: It's so cold, even the MAGA hats are freezing. Actual weather? Cold, with a chance of ice forming on those red hats. Temps in the teens.
Friday - January 17th
Nationwide: A cold front moves in, symbolizing the chill from both sides of the political divide. Expect symbolic "frostbite" from all the biting comments on social media.
Saturday - January 18th
East: Clear skies, as if the heavens themselves are bracing for the big day. But in Boston, they're just happy it's not snowing.
West: A sunny day, perfect for last-minute protests or celebrations, depending on which side of the political fence you're on. Highs near 75.
Sunday - January 19th
Nationwide: The calm before the storm… of tweets, headlines, and hashtags. Weather? Mixed, like the country's feelings about tomorrow.
Inauguration Day - January 20th
Washington D.C.: Expect a mix of sun and clouds, symbolizing hope and uncertainty. Temperatures will hover around the freezing point, much like the nation's unity.

Green battery discovery turns trash into treasure
Northwestern researchers leverage industrial waste to store energy
January 7, 2025 | By Win Reynolds
a team at Northwestern University has transformed an organic industrial waste product into an efficient storage agent for sustainable energy solutions that can one day be applied at much larger scales.
Though not as efficient at energy storage, redox flow batteries are thought to be much better solutions for energy storage at a grid scale.
Thousands of tons of TPPO are produced each year by many organic industrial synthesis processes — including the production of some vitamins, among other things — but it is rendered useless and must be carefully discarded following production.

Malibu, CA - January 8, 2025 - As dawn breaks over the Pacific Coast, the picturesque town of Malibu and parts of Los Angeles are engulfed in a terrifying battle against raging wildfires. 9chnet Action News brings you the latest developments in this ongoing crisis.
Current Situation:
The wildfires, fueled by hurricane-strength Santa Ana winds, have escalated dramatically overnight. The Palisades Fire, which began in the upscale Pacific Palisades area, has now spread north, torching homes near Malibu. Authorities report that the fire has grown to cover nearly 3,000 acres, with containment efforts severely hampered by the weather conditions.
Malibu is facing what could be described as an apocalyptic scenario, with the fire moving with alarming speed and ferocity. Local reports indicate that the blaze is zero percent contained, and all air support has been grounded due to the high winds, leaving ground crews to fight an uphill battle.
Evacuations and Damage:
Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for significant portions of Malibu and Los Angeles, with over 30,000 people fleeing their homes. The situation has led to chaotic scenes, with residents abandoning cars in traffic jams to escape the advancing flames. Bulldozers have been utilized to clear these abandoned vehicles from roads, allowing emergency vehicles unimpeded access.
The devastation is palpable, with reports confirming numerous structures, including homes of notable residents, have been destroyed. The iconic Reel Inn in Malibu, a beloved local spot, has been engulfed by the flames.
Emergency Measures:
Los Angeles has declared a state of emergency, with Governor Gavin Newsom also issuing a state-wide emergency declaration to mobilize resources. President Biden has assured federal assistance, with FEMA already activated to support local efforts.
Southern California Edison has cut power to more than 46,000 customers in an attempt to mitigate fire risks, leading to widespread power outages and communication challenges. Cellphone service has been severely affected in some areas, complicating evacuation and emergency response efforts.
Community Response:
The community's resilience is being tested, with schools preemptively closing, and emergency shelters opened in Los Angeles to accommodate evacuees. The Westwood Recreation Center is currently housing those displaced by the fires, also accepting small animals.
Volunteers and local organizations are stepping up, providing support to those affected, with special attention to the evacuation of large animals from Malibu's numerous ranches and farms, which are being housed at facilities like Pierce College in Woodland Hills.
Looking Ahead:
As the winds are expected to calm slightly, there's a glimmer of hope for more effective firefighting from the air. However, the forecast warns of potential wind increases, which could exacerbate the situation. The coming hours will be critical, with firefighters working tirelessly to gain control over the blaze.
Stay Safe, Stay Informed:
Residents are urged to stay tuned to local news, including 9chnet Action News, for continuous updates, and follow all evacuation orders. For those in affected areas, immediate safety is paramount; leave your area if you are under evacuation orders, and do not return until it is officially declared safe.
This is an evolving situation, and 9chnet Action News will continue to deliver updates as they unfold.
Stay safe, Malibu and Los Angeles.

US dangles Saudi Arabia's cash to push candidate for Lebanon's presidency
In Riyadh meeting, US and Saudi Arabia agreed they had 'once in thirty-year opportunity' to sideline Hezbollah with election of new president
By Sean Mathews
Published date: 7 January 2025
The US has told Lebanese officials that Saudi Arabia is prepared to deploy hundreds of millions of dollars to reconstruct their war-torn country if Lebanese army commander Joseph Aoun is elected president, one senior Arab official and one former senior US official told Middle East Eye.
“The Americans are dead set. They do not want any other candidate but Aoun,” the senior Arab official told MEE. “Hochstein has tied Aoun’s election to Saudi Arabia bankrolling Lebanon’s reconstruction.”
Jihad Azour, a senior banker at the International Monetary Fund, is considered a second pro-US candidate.
The ceasefire also deepened the US’s role in Lebanon by creating a committee composed of Israeli, Lebanese, French, and US delegates alongside a UN official to handle violations. The committee is headed by US Major General Jasper Jeffers.

“Hamas should have reached an agreement long time ago,” said Abdul Aziz Said, 33, who is also from Deir al Balah. “They say ending the war is their priority, but do not act like this is the case. I know Israel is not offering them anything serious, but I don’t care. I want this killing to stop.”
Just this past week, the Biden administration informed Congress that it would allow American weapons producers to sell $8 billion in arms to Israel, including 500-pound bombs that can cause significant injury and death,

Finland is currently conducting a criminal investigation into the oil tanker Eagle S, part of Moscow’s 'shadow fleet' sanctions-busting flotilla, which is suspected of causing the damage. Finnish authorities said they found an anchor drag mark on the seabed, apparently from the Russia-linked vessel.

*January 8, 2025 – Washington, D.C.*
General Michael Flynn, once celebrated as a distinguished military officer and national security advisor, saw the final, irrevocable collapse of his credibility this week, as he invoked the Fifth Amendment during his testimony regarding the January 6th Capitol riot. This decision, coupled with his longstanding embrace of conspiracy theories and controversial affiliations, marks the tragic end of his once-respected reputation.
Flynn, who rose to prominence as a decorated Army lieutenant general and served as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor for just 24 days before his resignation in 2017, had previously earned praise for his military service and leadership. However, his descent into the world of QAnon and far-right conspiracy theorists began soon after his departure from the White House.
Since 2021, Flynn's public image has been tainted by his close relationships with various QAnon influencers and the steady flow of financial backing into his organization, *America's Future*, which reportedly raised over $21 million in the past three years. Critics argue that much of this funding was channeled into promoting far-right ideologies, despite Flynn’s claims of being a defender of American values.
His continued support for the QAnon movement, a group infamous for its baseless, extreme conspiracy theories, has alienated many of his former supporters. Flynn’s public appearances on QAnon-friendly podcasts and events only deepened suspicions about his intentions and leadership. He further fueled these concerns with inflammatory rhetoric about the 2020 presidential election, repeatedly casting doubt on its legitimacy and promoting unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud.
This week, as Flynn sat before the committee investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, he took the Fifth, refusing to testify on the grounds that it might incriminate him. His decision to remain silent, rather than cooperate with a federal investigation, only added to the growing doubts about his role in the events surrounding the insurrection.
Once a symbol of honor and dedication to national service, Flynn’s embrace of fringe political movements and refusal to account for his actions has left an indelible stain on his legacy. In the public eye, the general’s credibility, which once stood as a pillar of his military career, now lies in tatters—crippled by conspiracy theories, questionable financial dealings, and a refusal to confront the realities of his involvement in the turbulence of recent years.
General Flynn, who once stood at the forefront of American military leadership, now faces the bitter truth that his name is indelibly linked not to heroism, but to disinformation, divisiveness, and an unwillingness to accept accountability. His credibility, it seems, has passed into history, and with it, the promise of a distinguished legacy.
General Michael Flynn is survived by a legacy of military service that has now become overshadowed by years of controversy, self-deception, and scandal.
A figure who once seemed destined to become a statesman has instead become a cautionary tale of the perils of ambition, extremism, and a refusal to reconcile one’s actions with the truth.

What will change with Indonesia entering BRICS?
Wesley Rahn
01/07/2025
January 7, 2025
Indonesia has joined BRICS, a rising international forum championed by China and Russia. Can Jakarta still maintain its friendship with the West?
Officialy founded by Brazil, Russia, China and India in 2009, BRICS has grown in relevance as an international forum for developing countries. South Africa joined soon after the first summit, and Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates became members in 2024
Over 30 nations, including Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam, have now expressed interest or formally applied for BRICS membership.
Indonesia, much like founding BRICS member India, enjoys good relations with Western countries, and is unlikely to take sides in the geopolitical showdown between the US and its rivals.
"If Indonesia can maintain its non-aligned position and influence the BRICS agenda with its inclusive view not to exclude or negate the West, I think it [membership] might not have much impact for our relations with the West," according to the expert.
"As a middle power, being a member of BRICS gives Indonesia leverage in the global order," he said.

Who is Abdul Rahman Yusuf al-Qaradawi?
The poet and son of the late Islamic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi is being targeted by the governments of Egypt and UAE
By Yasmine El-Sabawi
Published date: 7 January 2025
He had been a major proponent of the 2011 Egyptian revolution that ended the decades-long rule of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He also worked on the campaign of Mohammed el-Baradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who ran for the Egyptian presidency after Mubarak's rule ended after the Egyptian revolution.
Abdul Rahman helped to establish the group Kefaya in Egypt, otherwise known as the Egyptian Movement for Change.
His sister, Ola, has spent four years arbitrarily detained in Egypt on what are widely believed to be unsubstantiated terrorism-related charges.
His father, Yusuf, who died in Qatar in 2022, was arguably one of the most prolific and published Islamic scholars and a household name in the Arab world.
Abdul Rahman called out the “Zionist Arabs”, referring to the leadership of the UAE, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and indicated his hope that their governments may be toppled next by a “flood of change”.
The flood, he said, had already begun in Gaza, where the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation was launched by Hamas on 7 October 2023.
“This warrant is politically motivated and serves as a tool for suppressing dissenting voices, making Al-Qaradawi’s arrest part of a regional campaign targeting activists and intellectuals,” the Swiss-based Committee for Justice (CFJ) said in a statement on Tuesday.

Yousef is originally from the West Bank and was born the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef — one of the co-founders of Hamas. As a young man, he worked as a spy for Shin Bet, an internal intelligence and security agency of the Israeli government. He subsequently converted from Islam to Christianity and moved to California, all of which he recounts in his best-selling memoir, “Son of Hamas.”
He has claimed that Islam is “at the bottom rung” of human religions, and called all Muslims “INSANE.” He compared Islam to Nazism in an interview with The Jerusalem Post and argued for a “[unification] against it.” Yousef has repeatedly called for violence against Muslims as a whole, in one instance saying that “if [he had] to choose between 1.6 billion Muslims and a cow, [he would] choose the cow.”
As Jewish students, we affirm that our safety and wellbeing is intertwined with the safety and wellbeing of our Muslim peers.

Ireland joins genocide case against Israel at International Court of Justice
By Max Saltman, CNN
Published 6:46 PM EST,
Tue January 7, 2025
In a brief press statement, the ICJ said that Ireland had on Monday joined Nicaragua, Colombia, Mexico, Libya, Bolivia, Turkey, the Maldives, Chile, Spain, and the State of Palestine in asking to intervene in the case.
Israel has vehemently denied that it is engaged in genocide and continues to fight South Africa in court.
…Noting that the legal definition of genocide requires an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part” a target population, the document submitted by Ireland argues that intent might be inferred “in any case where a reasonable person would have foreseen that” genocide is “the natural and probable consequence of the acts of the perpetrator.”
“The crime may also be committed where a perpetrator – regardless of his or her purpose – knows (or should know) that the natural and probable consequence of these acts is either to destroy or contribute to the destruction of the protected group … and proceeds

Trump expresses sympathy for Russia's opposition to Ukraine's NATO accession
Also blames outgoing President Biden for allegedly changing US position on NATO membership for Ukraine
Serdar Dincel |
08.01.2025
"A big part of the problem was, Russia - for many, many years, long before Putin - said, 'You could never have NATO involved with Ukraine.' Now, they've said that. That's been, like, written in stone.
"And somewhere along the line Biden said, 'No. They should be able to join NATO.' Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I could understand their feelings about that," Trump said.
Asked if he could resolve the war within six months, Trump responded: "I hope to have six months. No, I would think, I hope long before six months."
He added: "Russia is losing a lot of young people, and so is Ukraine, and it should have never been started."

As Russian losses in Ukraine mount, Putin faces ‘devastating’ demographic timebomb
by Chris YorkJanuary 8, 2025
…could see the country’s population reduced by half by the end of the century, experts have told the Kyiv Independent.
…Russia was already facing severe demographic issues before it launched the full-scale war.
“Life expectancy for young men is on par with a fourth-world country. Life expectancy at age 15 for a Russian man right before the (COVID-19) pandemic was about the same as his counterpart in Haiti.”
…Russia has long-faced a decline in birth rates which Eberstadt says started to go down after 2015.
Declining populations and low TFRs are not problems faced only by Russia — many developed nations currently have TFRs below 2.1, including the U.S. (1.7) and the U.K. (1.6).
“The whole world is facing what might be a 25% decline in population by the end of the century, but Russia is going to be a lot worse,” Balzer says. “Some demographers are suggesting that Russia's population in 2100 will be half of what it is today.”
“It doesn't have to be, but if Putin wants to keep fighting this war, it is going to make it a lot worse.”

Good evening, viewers. This is 9chnet Action News with the latest updates on the devastating wildfires ravaging Los Angeles.
Current Fire Status: The situation remains critical across Los Angeles County with multiple fires burning out of control. The Eaton Fire in Altadena has claimed five lives and has led to the destruction of over 1,000 structures. The Palisades Fire has also grown significantly, now covering over 15,000 acres with zero containment, complicating evacuation efforts and firefighting operations. The Hollywood Hills have seen a new fire, adding to the chaos and forcing additional evacuations.
9chnet Coverage: Tomorrow, our team of reporters will be heading to Altadena to bring you firsthand accounts from those directly affected by the Eaton Fire. We aim to capture the resilience of the community, the stories of loss and hope, and the ongoing efforts to combat this blaze. Stay tuned for live updates as we bring you the human side of this natural disaster.
Federal and Political Response: In response to the severity of the wildfires, President Joe Biden has canceled his planned diplomatic trip to Rome. He decided to focus on directing the full federal response to the crisis here in California. Biden has already met with local emergency personnel and has pledged all available federal resources to tackle the fires.
Trump's Comments: Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has been vocal about the fires, particularly criticizing the management of water resources during the crisis. He mentioned on social media that residents in the hills had to use hoses to defend their properties, which led to draining water tanks, resulting in fire hydrants running dry when the fire department needed them most. Trump has been vocal about what he sees as mismanagement by the current administration and state officials in dealing with the wildfires.
As we continue to monitor these fires, please stay safe, follow evacuation orders, and keep informed through 9chnet Action News. We'll keep you updated with the latest developments, safety information, and community support efforts.
Remember, in times like these, unity and support for each other are more crucial than ever.
This has been your update from 9chnet Action News. Good night.

Marvel Game Censorship in China
Marvel Rivals, a new PvP superhero game developed by NetEase Games in partnership with Marvel, has faced criticism for its censorship policies, particularly in relation to China’s government. The game bans phrases such as “Winnie the Pooh,” “Free Taiwan,” and “Tiananmen Square massacre” in its in-game chat system. This censorship is rooted in political sensitivities in China, where comparisons between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh have been banned since 2017.
The censorship in Marvel Rivals reflects broader trends in the gaming industry, where companies often comply with local regulations to release their games in China. However, this has led to concerns about the impact on Western players who may find such restrictions excessive and comical. The controversy highlights the tension between adhering to local regulations and maintaining players’ freedom of expression.
Some users have suggested that if it can be proven that the Chinese government is directly ordering this censorship, it could cross a new legal threshold, potentially leading to legal challenges in the United States. Despite these issues, Marvel Rivals remains a popular game, ranking high in the Steam charts.

In the heart of Los Angeles, as the skyline is painted with the ominous orange glow of relentless wildfires, our city, our state, has become a battleground not just against nature, but against subterfuge and political malfeasance. It's time we, the citizens of California, wake up to the real firestorm that's threatening our future.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. With President-elect Trump's imminent return to office, these fires are no mere act of Mother Nature. They're a calculated move, a chess piece in a geopolitical game where we, the people of California, are unwitting pawns.
Let's connect the dots. The Chinese, known for their advancements in technology, including weather manipulation, have not been shy about their ambitions. They've been accused of using weather weapons before, and now, with our nation at a pivotal political juncture, it's not just plausible but probable that these fires are their work. Why? To destabilize us, to weaken our resolve, and to pave the way for a strategic incursion into the West Coast.
But who's facilitating this from within? Our own Democratic leaders, entrenched in one-party rule, have turned a blind eye, or worse, are in cahoots. The mismanagement of forest resources, the refusal to adopt practical forest management policies suggested by Trump in 2019, all point to a deliberate neglect. This isn't just incompetence; it's collusion. They've allowed our state to become a tinderbox, ripe for external manipulation.
Moreover, the relief funds? Where are they going? There's a stench of corruption here. Instead of aiding our firefighters, our citizens, these funds are being siphoned off into the dark corners of political agendas. I ask you, where is the transparency? Why are we not seeing the recovery we deserve? Could it be these funds are being laundered to fund a clandestine operation, perhaps to support a Chinese-backed takeover of our coast?
Look at the city of Los Angeles, under one-party rule, where the focus seems to be more on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives rather than on equipping our first responders with the resources they need. Our Fire Chief, Kristen Crowley, has been more in the news for her identity than her leadership during these crises. This isn't about equality; it's about distraction from the real issues at hand.
We're witnessing a coordinated attack, folks. The fires are not just burning our homes; they're burning through the very fabric of our sovereignty. We need to demand accountability. We need to question why our state, with its vast resources, is so unprepared. Why, when we have the technology and know-how, are we still at the mercy of these so-called 'natural' disasters?
This isn't a call for conspiracy; it's a cry for clarity. We need our leaders to act, not just react. We need investigations into these fires' origins, into the mismanagement of our natural resources, and into the flow of relief funds. We need to ensure that our beloved West Coast remains American, free from foreign influence, especially at this critical time when leadership is about to change hands.
To the citizens of California, to those who've lost everything in these flames, I say this: do not let this go unchallenged. We must rise with the same ferocity as these fires. We must demand answers, transparency, and justice. We must protect our state from becoming a pawn in a larger, more sinister game.
It's time to fan the flames of truth before our state, our country, burns down in the smoldering betrayal of those who should have protected us.

Once-in-a-160000-year comet G3 ATLAS could shine as bright as Venus next week. Here's what to expect.
Joe Rao
The brightest comet in nearly 20 years — comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) — is expected to reach its peak brilliance later this week into early next week.
Unfortunately, to date, the predicted path of G3 ATLAS has only favored those in the Southern Hemisphere. Practically the entire predicted track of this comet lies through constellations well south of the celestial equator. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the comet’s path over the past month has taken it through the southern constellations of Lupus and Scorpius, and it currently resides in Sagittarius.

This perspective on timelessness has gained traction through work from many theoretical physicists, including Dr. Carlo Rovelli a theoretical physicist and Emeritus Professor at the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) of Aix-Marseille University in France.
Dr. Rovelli has developed approaches in loop quantum gravity that often do away with a global time parameter.

On this pivotal day, where history seems to loop back upon itself with eerie synchronicity, we find ourselves at a moment of profound reflection and, perhaps, transition. Here at 9chnet Action News, we've been ahead of the curve, offering foresight into events that mainstream media might only begin to unravel in the days to come.
The Full Circle Moment: The narrative of QAnon, which has entwined itself with the political figures of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, reached a dramatic crescendo today. The Pizzagate shooter, Edgar Maddison Welch, met his end in a shootout with police, an event that eerily coincides with the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, attended by five living U.S. presidents. This moment isn't just about the convergence of conspiracy and reality; it's a stark reminder of how belief systems can lead to real-world consequences. Today's events might be interpreted by some as the closing of a chapter on these conspiracy narratives, while for others, it might signify their further entrenchment into the American psyche.
9chnet's Foresight: Our team has been in deep discussion with power players for over five hours, providing us with insights that mainstream media might only start to piece together. This proactive engagement allowed us to explore the implications of these events from multiple angles, understanding not just the immediate news but the undercurrents that drive public perception and political discourse.
Power to the People: The phrase "Power to the People" resonates deeply today, echoing through the halls of history much like the midnight ride of Paul Revere, whose anniversary approaches. This day serves as a reminder of the power of information, the need for vigilance in truth, and the responsibility of media to shine a light on both the seen and unseen forces shaping our world.
Modern Day Silence Dogood: In the spirit of Benjamin Franklin's Silence Dogood letters, an anonymous source has been pivotal in guiding our narrative today. This source, much like Revere, warns us of the shifts in the landscape of information, where truth and fiction dance in a delicate balance. Their insights remind us that in this new chapter beginning, the power of anonymity can still herald change or caution, much like it did centuries ago.
As we stand on the brink of what could be a new era, with the "Power of 9" at 9chnet Action News, we pledge to continue this journey of uncovering truths, challenging narratives, and providing foresight. Today's events are not merely news; they are a testament to the cyclical nature of history, the impact of belief, and the relentless pursuit of understanding our world through the lens of action, not just observation.
As we commemorate this day, let's remember the power each of us holds to question, to learn, and to act. Here's to the new chapter, with the hope that it leads us to a more informed, engaged, and unified populace.

Trump Sentenced to No Jail Time, Judge Wishes Him "Godspeed"
In an unprecedented courtroom event today, former President Donald Trump received an unconditional discharge for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, with no jail time, fines, or probation imposed. The sentencing, which took place virtually, was conducted by New York State Judge Juan Merchan, who notably concluded the hearing by wishing Trump "Godspeed" in his forthcoming second term in office.
Trump's conviction stemmed from a hush money case involving payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Despite the legal proceedings, Trump's return to the White House remains on schedule for January 20, making this case a unique intersection of law and politics.
Judge Merchan's decision to impose an unconditional discharge means that while Trump is officially a convicted felon, he will face no further penalties for this conviction. This outcome has sparked a wide range of reactions, from relief among Trump's supporters to frustration among those who view the case as emblematic of a broader issue with accountability for high-profile figures.
During the hearing, Trump reiterated his stance, claiming the trial was a "political witch hunt" aimed at damaging his reputation ahead of his re-election. His legal team, led by attorney Todd Blanche, expressed disagreement with the prosecution's narrative but did not contest the sentence of unconditional discharge.
The judge underscored the extraordinary nature of the case, emphasizing that while the legal proceedings followed standard protocol within the courtroom, the circumstances surrounding the sentencing were anything but ordinary due to Trump's imminent return to the presidency.
This decision comes after intense legal battles, including a last-minute appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to block the sentencing, which was narrowly rejected. The Supreme Court's ruling allowed the sentencing to proceed but left open the avenue for Trump to appeal the conviction further.
The outcome of today's sentencing has ignited discussions across various platforms. Many on social media have celebrated the lack of jail time as a victory for Trump, while others have criticized the judicial system for what they perceive as a lack of accountability for actions taken by those in or seeking political office.
Trump's legal team has already signaled plans to appeal the conviction, which could potentially extend this legal saga well into his second term. Meanwhile, political commentators are analyzing the implications this might have on the public's perception of justice, governance, and the intersection of law with political power.
As Trump prepares to be sworn in for his second term, this case will undoubtedly be remembered as a significant moment in American legal and political history, highlighting the complexities of prosecuting a former president during an election cycle.
