9chnet Action News Special Report

Headline: The Grand Irony: QAnon's Worst Nightmare Gets the Medal of Freedom

By: Satire Sam

Good evening, 9chnet Action News viewers, and welcome to a report so rich in irony, it could make even the most stoic QAnon theorist burst into tears of confusion. In a twist that could only be described as the ultimate plot twist in the ongoing saga of conspiracy theories, President Joe Biden has decided to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to none other than Hillary Clinton. Yes, you heard that right - the very person who, according to QAnon lore, is the mastermind behind a global elite conspiring against humanity.

Now, let’s dive into the delicious irony, shall we?

The Medal of Freedom: A Badge of Honor or a Badge of Conspiracy?

The Presidential Medal of Freedom, for those living under a rock or in a bunker decoding secret messages, is the highest civilian honor in the United States, recognizing individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

But for QAnon believers, this must feel like giving the "Most Upstanding Citizen" award to the villain in their never-ending season of "The Twilight Zone." Here's Hillary Clinton, allegedly at the helm of a satanic pedophile ring, being celebrated with the nation's highest civilian honor. It's like giving the key to the city to the one person you've accused of planning to destroy it.

QAnon's Reaction: The Plot Thickens

Imagine the scene: QAnon followers, who have spent countless hours connecting dots that weren't there, now face the reality where their arch-nemesis is lauded as a hero. The conspiracy forums must be ablaze with questions like, "Is this part of the plan?" or "Is this the signal for the storm?"

Some are probably penning a new chapter to their saga, where this is all a clever ruse by Clinton to hide in plain sight or perhaps a secret signal that the "Deep State" is about to strike. Meanwhile, others might be contemplating if they've been on the wrong side of the looking glass all along.

Satirical Take: The Medal of Mischief

In true 9chnet Action News fashion, let's award our own satirical "Medal of Mischief" to this situation. Here's our criteria:

Irony Level: Off the charts. Awarding a medal to someone you believe is the epitome of evil? That's Oscar-worthy irony.

Conspiracy Complexity: How many new theories can this spawn? We're betting on at least a trilogy of new narratives.

Public Confusion: The average Joe (or Jane) on the street is now questioning everything from election results to what's in their cereal.

QAnon's Cognitive Dissonance: Watching the mental gymnastics as they try to make this fit into their narrative? Pure entertainment.

The Biden Twist

President Biden, perhaps inadvertently, has given us all a masterclass in trolling. By honoring Clinton with this medal, he's not only celebrating her public service but also throwing a wrench into the grand conspiracy machine that has been running non-stop since 2016.

In conclusion, viewers, as we watch this saga unfold, remember that in the world of politics and conspiracy, truth is often stranger than fiction. Or, in this case, satire writes itself better than any script could.

Stay tuned to 9chnet Action News for more on this story, where we'll keep you updated on whether QAnon can weave this into their tapestry of tales, or if this might just be the plot twist that unravels it all.

Until next time, keep your tin foil hats handy but remember, sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar… or a medal is just a medal.

Goodnight, and may your conspiracies be ever in your favor.

This report was brought to you by the irony department at 9chnet Action News. All statements are for entertainment purposes, because if we can't laugh about it, we might just cry.

The QAnon Paradox - Homoerotic Commentary Meets Ultra-Conservative Tropes

Introduction:

In an era where political ideologies are increasingly polarized, the QAnon movement stands out not just for its conspiracy theories but for an unexpected juxtaposition of cultural elements. This undercover investigation delves into how QAnon culture, despite its staunchly conservative and traditionalist facade, has found a strange bedfellow in homoerotic commentary.

The Underbelly of QAnon:

QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory group, has garnered attention for its belief in a secret battle being waged by former President Donald Trump against a supposed 'deep state' of satanic, child-trafficking elites. While the movement's public face is one of ultra-conservative values, our investigation reveals a subculture within QAnon that indulges in and even celebrates homoerotic content, often cloaked in irony or satire.

Homoerotic Commentary:

Our undercover journalists infiltrated QAnon chat rooms, forums, and social media groups where they observed a peculiar pattern. Members often engage in what can only be described as homoerotic banter under the guise of deconstructing or mocking liberal culture. For instance, discussions around figures like Trump or other conservative leaders sometimes veer into territory where participants make exaggerated, passionate comments that border on the homoerotic. Phrases like "Trump's love for his followers" or "the strong bond between patriots" are not uncommon, often leading to threads where the homoerotic undertones are either humorously acknowledged or aggressively denied as mere sarcasm or jest.

This behavior seems to serve a dual purpose: it both mocks what they perceive as liberal excesses in sexual identity politics while simultaneously allowing members to explore or express homoeroticism in a controlled, conservative environment where such expressions are typically taboo.

Defending Conservative Tropes:

Despite this, QAnon's public stance remains one of defending traditional, ultra-conservative values. The movement vocally supports policies and rhetoric aimed at traditional marriage, gender roles, and a rejection of what they term as "woke" culture. This dichotomy creates an interesting cultural clash within the community - a group that rallies against progressive ideologies but engages in practices that, if taken at face value, would be at odds with their proclaimed beliefs.

The Irony and the Denial:

The irony is palpable; members of QAnon often use their participation in these homoerotic exchanges as a form of cultural critique, claiming it as a way to "own the libs" or expose the hypocrisy of modern progressive movements. However, this also leads to a form of denial where such comments are quickly reframed as satirical or merely playful, maintaining the facade of conservative purity.

Expert Analysis:

Dr. Aisha Martino, a sociologist specializing in online subcultures, comments, "This phenomenon within QAnon could be seen as a form of cultural rebellion. It's a way for members to engage with what they see as forbidden or taboo within their own ranks, all while maintaining a veneer of ultra-conservatism. It's a complex interplay of identity, belief, and performance."

Conclusion:

This expose highlights a fascinating, if not bewildering, aspect of QAnon culture - a group that publicly champions extreme conservative ideals while privately indulging in behaviors that, superficially, contradict these very ideals. It's a portrait of cognitive dissonance, where members navigate the tightrope between what they preach and what they practice, often under the banner of irony or satire.

9chnet Action News remains committed to uncovering the layers of political and cultural movements, providing our viewers with a nuanced understanding of the complexities within groups like QAnon.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

* The Real Reason Nuclear "Died" in the United States

* Fracking's enormous financial success and eventual downfall

* With natural gas and coal prices rising to record highs, nuclear has become the clear favorite

Not a single new reactor began construction in the United States from 1980–2010.

Instead, coal and natural gas dominated—and CO2 emissions were off the charts and the option for a clean energy like nuclear melts into thin air.

The world built a decades-long addiction to cheap, dirty energy that became nearly impossible to break.

In the last three years, natural gas has spiked 400%—most of that before 2022. It’s at its highest level in thirteen years.

Meanwhile, coal has risen from $50 a ton to $400 a ton in just two years.

That’s about double the price the UK government guaranteed to pay a French company building a reactor in England.

* In other words, they’d get an immediate discount on energy just by building more nuclear reactors.

So that’s exactly what they’re going to do.

MODULE 1 | CHAPTER 5

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

* Safer Than a Library

* You Get What You Pay For

* The Fukushima Standard

The Safest Deadly Poison in the World

Fukushima is the BEST Possible Advertisement for Nuclear Power and its Safety.

To Sum It All Up…

A crumbling, outdated nuclear plant with poor safety features was hit by the fourth-largest recorded earthquake, then a forty-foot wall of water.

* The electricity supply

* The cooling system stopped functioning.

* The reactors melted down and exploded.

And it killed fewer people than operations at an average coal plant does every single year—when everything goes according to plan.

Fukushima is the best possible advertisement for nuclear power.

MODULE 1 | CHAPTER 7

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

* 50 Years Changes Everything

* The Nuclear Energizer Bunny

* Exponential Next-Gen Nuclear

Continued… Etc..

How’s The Water?

——

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/06/climate/forever-chemicals-pfas-drinking-water-drugs-wellness/index.html

Forever chemicals are so-called for their ability to stay in the environment — and in people’s bodies — for a very long time without breaking down. There are nearly 15,000 of them, known collectively as PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

People are exposed to PFAS in many ways, but drinking water is an important one. Almost half the tap water in the US is contaminated, according to a 2023 study ( https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/05/health/pfas-nearly-half-us-tap-water-wellness/index.html )

The majority comprised unregulated chemicals including other PFAS and pharmaceuticals.

Drug companies use compounds classified as PFAS because they are very hard to degrade, Ruyle said. This can increase the concentration of drugs in people’s bodies.

“This study highlights how wastewater treatment plants are not currently equipped to clean up the contamination,” he told CNN

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fluoride-water-research-possible-children-brains-rcna185788

The research, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Monday, is a review of 74 other studies exploring how the mineral may affect children’s IQ levels.

( https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.5542?guestAccessKey=f61d2921-6a2b-436a-8710-c9623f148bdf&utm_source=for_the_media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=010625 )

It showed that "the more fluoride a child is exposed to, the more likely that child’s IQ will be lower than if they were not exposed,”

According to the study authors, most of the 74 studies they reviewed were low-quality ones. All were done in countries other than the United States, such as China, where researchers analyzed fluoride levels in water and in urine. Fluoride levels in China and other countries tend to be much higher than in the U.S., the researchers noted.

"With the evidence that we have so far, that is not at all a clear case at this point, certainly not at the levels of fluoride that we use in community water fluoridation," said Tomar, also a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago College of Dentistry.

He pointed to an Australian study published in December that found no link between early childhood exposure to fluoride and negative cognitive neurodevelopment.

( https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00220345241299352 )

Still, the battle over fluoride is likely to strengthen under President-elect Donald Trump's next term. His pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., previously said without credible evidence that fluoride is "an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss," and other problems. Kennedy later told NBC News that "fluoride is on the way out."

https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/04/how_datacenters_use_water/

We'll get to why some datacenters use more water than others in a bit, but in some regions rates of consumption are as high as 25 percent of the municipality's water supply.

According to the US Energy Information Administration, the US sources roughly 89 percent of its power from natural gas, nuclear, and coal plants. Many of these plants employ steam turbines to generate power, which consumes a lot of water in the process.

As a result, reducing onsite water consumption at the expense of higher power draw could lead to an increase in the amount of water consumed.

Choi is also interested in developing cost-effective engineered materials. He has experience making kombucha and that has evolved to growing bacteria to produce living membranes that he hopes can eventually compete with commercially synthetic petroleum-based membranes used in water and waste water treatment processes. The same bacteria used to make kombucha can also be used to produce a cellulose membrane that can be used for water and air filtration.

PsyOp In The News

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14248367/us-army-psyop-unit-cybertruck-bomber-new-orleans-terrorist.html

Fort Bragg, now known as Fort Liberty, is home to the 4th Psychological Operations Group (POG), which conducts 'influence activities to target psychological vulnerabilities and create or intensify fissures, confusion, and doubt in adversary organizations.'

'We use all available means of dissemination – from sensitive and high tech to low-tech, to no-tech, and methods from overt, to clandestine, to deception,' the organization's official website reads.

After the 10 day assessment, soldiers are put through 41 weeks of physically and mentally demanding training, called the PSYOP Qualification Course.

While the FBI's deputy assistant director, Chris Raia, emphasized on Thursday that investigators have found 'no definitive link' between Livelsberger and Jabbar, that hasn't stopped others from connecting seemingly ominous dots through Fort Bragg.

'You're telling me that two men worked at the same army base, went and rented trucks from teh same rental company and committed horrible acts on the same day within hours apart, is a total coincidence,' TikToker 'thespilledtee'shared in a video.

Both Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, whose Tesla vehicle rained fireworks and steel shrapnel outside the Las Vegas Trump hotel, and Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, who killed 14 people with his vehicle, worked at the US Army's Fort Bragg - now renamed Fort Liberty

-

'We're looking at soldiers who are adept at conducting research to understand target audiences.

'And use critical thinking to determine the best methods and arguments to influence and effectively communicate verbally and in writing using multimedia.'

Candidates who meet the standards are invited to continue with the Psychological Operations Qualification Course.

This includes studying human psychology, sociology and cultural dynamics to design effective influence strategies, Identifying and analyzing groups for tailored messaging and crafting messages that align with mission objectives and resonate with target audiences.

-

There have also been claims that failed Trump shooter Ryan Routh had spent time at Fort Bragg.

Part 1: UFOs and the Future of Media

Trevor Paglen

-

“Doty conducted elaborate psyop programs for the US Air Force in the 1970s and ’80s. One of his targets, a defense contractor, was so consumed by paranoia after being subjected to Doty’s craft that he was committed to a mental institution. There was also a well-respected journalist who, after enduring one of Doty’s psychological operations, spent the remainder of her career babbling about reptoids, cover-ups, and ancient alien conspiracies. A third target, a former UFO investigator who collaborated with Doty, publicly confessed to participating in a military disinformation campaign and retreated into self-imposed obscurity. We would be spending the next two days together. It turned out that I liked the guy.”

“For the next two days, Doty explained the finer points of military interrogations and influence operations, the theory and practice of psyops, and how he’d created and used folklore about UFOs to develop counterespionage missions designed to protect classified Air Force assets. But in Doty’s retelling of the work he did on behalf of the US military, there was a strange inversion. Yes, he created misinformation about UFOs to conceal the existence of secret US military projects. But he also described creating false stories about classified Air Force technologies to cover up the existence of actual UFOs (internally known as “Cardinals,” he claims). Upon retirement from the US Air Force, Doty became a self-styled whistleblower, recounting details of the real UFO program he claims to have had a hand in covering up. He told stories of a secret film documenting the existence of crashed saucers, a classified warehouse at Bolling Air Force Base containing the remnants of those UFOs, and the cultural life of captured pilots from the Zeta Reticulli star system.”

“What will be the most profound technological developments in the near future?”

-

That's a fantastic question, and it's tough to pinpoint *the* most profound breakthrough, as many fields are advancing rapidly. However, based on current trajectories and potential impact, I'd argue that the most profound technological breakthroughs for human society in the near future will likely stem from the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biotechnology.

Here's why, and how they might manifest:

1. AI-Driven Biotechnology & Healthcare:

• Personalized Medicine & Drug Discovery: AI can analyze massive datasets of patient genomics, lifestyle, and environmental factors to develop highly personalized treatments, predict disease risks, and accelerate drug discovery. This means less trial-and-error in finding effective therapies and potentially cures for diseases currently considered incurable.

• Early Disease Detection: AI-powered medical imaging and wearable sensors can detect diseases at earlier stages, leading to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Think of AI that can predict a heart attack days or weeks before it happens.

• Revolutionizing Healthcare Access: AI-powered diagnostic tools and telemedicine platforms can expand access to quality healthcare, particularly in underserved and remote areas, potentially bridging healthcare gaps globally.

• Gene Editing Advancements: AI can optimize gene editing technologies like CRISPR, making them more precise and efficient for therapeutic applications, potentially eradicating genetic diseases.

• Synthetic Biology: AI can help design and engineer new biological systems for drug production, materials science, and environmental remediation. This opens the door to creating things like bio-based plastics, biofuels, and even living materials.

2. AI-Enabled Automation & Productivity:

• Hyper-Automation in Industries: AI will continue to drive automation across all industries, optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and potentially leading to significant economic shifts. This includes areas like manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and even creative industries.

• Personalized Education & Skill Development: AI-powered educational tools can personalize learning experiences, catering to individual needs and helping people develop the skills necessary for the changing job market.

• Advanced Research & Development: AI can accelerate scientific research by analyzing vast amounts of data, generating hypotheses, and identifying novel solutions to complex problems.

• More efficient Resource Management: AI can optimize the allocation of resources, from energy consumption to food production, leading to more sustainable practices.

3. Ethical Considerations & Challenges:

It's crucial to acknowledge that these powerful technologies also present significant challenges:

• Ethical implications of AI decision-making: Bias in AI algorithms, job displacement due to automation, and the potential misuse of powerful technologies require careful consideration and ethical frameworks.

• Data Privacy & Security: The massive amounts of data needed for AI development raise concerns about privacy and security.

• Accessibility & Equity: We need to ensure that the benefits of these technologies are accessible to all, not just a privileged few, to avoid exacerbating existing inequalities.

In conclusion, while breakthroughs in fields like quantum computing and space exploration are also significant, I believe the convergence of AI and biotechnology offers the most profound potential for transforming human society in the near future. It holds the promise of eradicating disease, boosting productivity, and creating a more sustainable world. However, we must address the ethical challenges and ensure equitable access to these technologies to realize their full potential and avoid unforeseen consequences. The future will be shaped by how we navigate this powerful convergence.

“Trump suggests he could use military force to acquire Panama Canal and Greenland and 'economic force' to annex Canada”

-

…a goal he has floated in recent weeks. “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two, but I can say this, we need them for economic security,” Trump said. He said later that he would not use military force against Canada, only "economic force."

“That would really be something,” Trump said of the U.S. taking control of Canada. He has quipped lately that it should become the 51st U.S. state.

“You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like. And it would also be much better for national security,” Trump said. “They’re great, but we’re spending hundreds of billions here to protect it. We’re spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. We lose in trade deficits.”

Regarding Panama:

“Trump said Panama has requested $3 billion from the U.S. to help repair the canal even as “China is basically taking it over.” He has threatened to try to take it back”

Technology will never be a god – but has it become a religion?

Published: January 5, 2025 2:05pm EST

But according to Greg Epstein, the secular ethicist and former humanist chaplain at Harvard and MIT, we find ourselves talking about modern technology in religious terms because modern technology (or what he calls “tech”) has effectively become a religion. And “not only a religion”. Epstein declares tech “the dominant religion of our time”.

The Satanic temple’s studies program doesn’t include any subject related to the adoration of Satan, but is an alternative to the Christian religion for minors. Thus they will enrich the latter’s free choice and enable them to decide their spiritual path through programs of religious liberation, they state.

Ten years after the Charlie Hebdo attack: What the three major religions say about caricatures

 Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders in France see no doctrinal opposition to caricatures of God and religion in public spaces, though political views vary globally and within religions.

Over the past 50 years, “among states that reference Islam, with a mix of customary, religious, and secular laws, there has been a strengthening of blasphemy legislation,” notes the expert, citing Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, where blasphemy is punishable by death. Internationally, the 57 states affiliated with Islam, united under the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, have strongly pushed the UN to recognize a secularized form of banning blasphemy.

Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban’s interior minister, has urged religious scholars to ensure their approach does not drive people away from religion. In an audio message broadcast on Taliban-controlled national television, Haqqani emphasized the importance of fostering a balanced relationship between religious teachings and contemporary education.

Haqqani’s remarks come amid ongoing reports about divisions within the Taliban leadership. Some analysts interpret his comments as indicative of differing perspectives among senior Taliban figures.

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.)

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.

The Ocean Teems With Networks of Interconnected Bacteria

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

Weather Forecast for Trump's Inauguration Week - January 2025

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.

Elsewhere: Weather phenomena will occur, but let's face it, all eyes will be on DC.

Disclaimer: This forecast is brought to you by 9ch et Action News, where we mix weather with political satire because, honestly, what's the difference these days?

Remember, folks, this is just for laughs. Real weather updates should be checked on actual weather channels. Stay warm, stay safe, and may your political debates be as mild as a spring day!

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.

Note: This article is based on the latest available information and may be updated as new developments emerge.

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.

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,

“The engine of this entire ugly and unjust offensive is America,” said Amna Soliman, 42, a former teacher at the American International School in Gaza. “There is nothing left of Gaza.”

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.

As Progressive Zionists, we call on Princetonians to boycott Thursday’s ‘Son of Hamas’ lecture

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

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.

For your meme-ing pleasure.

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.
