Back channels between Iran supporting the Shiite Houthis and Saudi Sunni supported puppet government in Yemen through the United Nations just revealed the 9-year Yemeni “civil war” is coming to an end with a brokered peace plan.

With reports that over two years ago the Yemen conflict death toll had reached 377,000 lives, peace now at this moment reflects the ongoing sea change occurring in the Middle East. This phenomenal development is a direct consequence of the crumbling, weakened unipolar US hegemon that earlier this year witnessed emerging global power China mediate normalized relations between the two Islamic regional Middle East powers Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The Anglo-American-Zionist Empire stranglehold isn’t what it used to be, maintaining its divide and rule juggernaut creating conflict around the globe at will to ensure unchallenged power is concentrated in fewer hands. But pushback resistance to this old hegemony now is fiercer than ever, and warships belonging to multipolar powers China and Russia are in the Middle East at the ready to back Iran in the growing conflict.

But last Monday December 18th, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s announcement of a 10-nation coalition dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian, formed to break up the Houthi Red Sea trade embargo to Israel, is the latest failure of the US-Israel rogue state partnership.

With France, Italy and Spain already dropping out of this US command operation, the UK Express ran the Saturday December 23rd headline “Joe Biden warned ‘no one takes him seriously’ as EU brutally snubs US.”

Three nations broke with the US, stating that they will only follow NATO or EU’s maritime plan for restoring free navigation in the Persian Gulf. The monumental geopolitical power shift from West to East taking place right now is by Rothschild City of London design blowing up the world bully US finding itself and Israel increasingly isolated and despised outcasts in the eyes of the Global South world nation majority, with even historic European vassals abandoning the Zionist-US sinking ship.

Meanwhile, riding high off its apparent success defeating the mighty US naval fleet’s agenda amidst Yemen’s very effective interdiction campaign targeting Israeli linked ships traversing the Red Sea, on top of capitalizing on worldwide momentum supporting Palestinians, Sanaa’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein Al-Ezzi on X stated that Yemen is considering forming its own international alliance in support of the Palestinians:

[The alliance] will be open to all revolutionary and liberation movements, in addition to the elites, countries, and oppressed peoples in the world.

Independent journalist Vanessa Beeley reported on X and UK Column News last Wednesday that the Houthi strategy of stopping all vessels headed for Israel appears to be working as it’s reported that no Israeli bound cargo ship has arrived in Israel for at least two weeks and not expected for several more. The David/Houthi is winning the Goliath Israel/US war.

With oil and shipping companies not chancing passage through the targeted Red Sea lane, it looms catastrophic for the global economy since the world’s maritime oil import traffic has been severely disrupted.

The Houthis have also made it clear that if Israel stops its genocide in Gaza and permits humanitarian aid in, the blockade and global crisis will also be over. Mounting pressure falls squarely on Israel/US to reach a ceasefire and hostage exchange. Yet the US persists its support of the Israeli war and Bibi the Butcher refuses to let up in his bloodbath, despite publicly declaring a lower intensity combat phase of the war will begin either this final week of 2023 or first week of 2024.

With Israel’s war against Hamas clearly failing, openly admitted in Wednesday’s Washington Post and Thursday’s The Guardian, and the US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia all but over, as yet another enormous, costly, humiliating defeat for the US/West, irreversible destruction of Western civilization is fully underway. On Christmas Eve during his weekly cabinet meeting, Bibi the Butcher lamented losing 15 more IDF soldiers over the weekend, admitting:

The war is exacting a very heavy cost from us. However, we have no choice but to continue to fight.

Tell that to the more than 21,000 dead Palestinians in Gaza you relentlessly keep killing with thousands of your nightly airstrikes targeting refugee camps butchering over 8,000 innocent children. The latest barbarism on Christmas killed over 100 Palestinians at the Maghazi refugee camp. Survivors conclude:

There’s no safe place in the Gaza Strip… What should we do? We are civilians, living peacefully and wanting only safety and security, yet we are suddenly struck by Israeli warplanes without any warning.

While families are being tragically pummeled and crushed to death by 2,000-pound US bombs as the latest Gaza carnage, ironically just 40 short miles away across the walled border sits Jesus’ birthplace Bethlehem in the West Bank. This year Bethlehem is a solemn ghost town while any other year it’s teeming with Christian pilgrims celebrating the birth of our Lord’s son. This is such a blasphemous insult and sin to God and every worshipper of God on this earth.

Both Bibi and Biden are mere puppets following their masters’ orders to sacrifice the US, Israel and the West, all according to a long-scripted plan by the financial elites.

Arguments can be made for who’s fooling who, but the evil goes far deeper and longer than personality egos clashing. Just like the onetime US Congress darling Zelensky in Ukraine, using his fight against Russia as the fight for “Western democracy,” Netanyahu is using this exact same game plan:

This is not only ‘our war’ but in many ways your war… This is a battle against the Iranian [or Russian] axis… now threatening to close the maritime strait of Bab Al-Mandeb… It is the interest… of the entire civilized community.

Citizens of the world are finally awakening to these shocking atrocities being systematically perpetrated nonstop for centuries against the divided and conquered, terrorized and traumatized human race. 

With the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” wet dream plan embraced by globalist aficionados like the Clintons and Pope Francis, “urgent depopulation” becomes their rallying cry in answer to their concocted climate change hoax.

 The Sunday December 24th EU Times headline reads “Experts Admit WEF Planning to Erase 4 Billion People Within Years.” It opens with:

The World Economic Forum and various globalist leaders are fervently advocating for the phasing out of fossil fuels, presenting their ambitious ‘Net Zero’ goal as a cornerstone of the WEF and UN’s comprehensive plans for humanity, specifically encapsulated in ‘Agenda 2030’ and ‘Agenda 2050.’ However, leading experts are sounding alarm bells, warning that the potential consequences of this ‘Net Zero’ goal could be nothing short of catastrophic, resulting in the deaths of over four billion people or more.
