⚠️ Green Energy Disaster: UK Wind Farm Operator Forced to Cut Hundreds of Jobs as Costs Spiral

Ørsted - which operates 12 wind farms in the UK – has announced a raft of cost-cutting measures after posting around £2.2bn worth of losses for 2023.

This includes halting dividend payments until 2025 and pulling out of several international markets, including in Norway, Spain and Portugal.

Ørsted’s cash crunch comes after the business abandoned several uncompleted projects in the US last year after incurring billions of pounds in losses.

⚠️ China Opens Antarctic Station - South of Australia, NZ

Beijing inaugurated its Ross Sea scientific research station on Wednesday, which will be staffed year-round with quarters sufficient to house as many as 80 people in the summer months. (Xinhua)

Perched on the rocky coast of Inexpressible Island in the icy Ross Sea, the Qinling station is also situated near the permanently inhabited US McMurdo facility.

Qinling is expected to include an observatory with a satellite ground station, and it would be well situated to collect signals intelligence over Australia and New Zealand, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report last year.

While the West prolongs wars with taxpayers money, China is quietly expanding its intel – is the West asleep at the wheel?

❗️Israeli Settlers Set Up Tents to Block Humanitarian Aid Trucks Reaching Gaza

Hundreds of Israelis have blocked aid trucks once again on Wednesday - by lying on the streets. Some set up tents in the area so that they can stop aid moving in the long term.

Protesters blocked about 130 humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza on Tuesday.

In between stopping aid trucks from entering the besieged enclave - where the UN said hundreds of thousands of Palestinians face an acute risk of famine – protesters find time to dance for the camera.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin could see the journalist targeted by EU lawmakers, current and former members of the European Parliament have told Newsweek.

The lawmaker - who has called for the EU to explore imposing a "travel ban" on Carlson - described Carlson as "a mouthpiece" of former US President Donald Trump and Putin, adding: "As Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well."

🐻 The EU is literally a fascist entity, and no one seems to care... Eurobros just go along with it...

😳 Chinese hackers have lurked in some US infrastructure systems for ‘at least five years’ - CNN

The campaign is part of a long-running effort by the hackers to position themselves for potentially crippling cyberattacks that could disrupt water and electricity, according to US officials.

US intel chiefs sounded the alarm about the threat to Congress last week, saying Beijing could use the hackers to disrupt a US response if China invades Taiwan.

Still, not as embarrassing as the Biden crime family lurking in the White House for four years.

A few MEPs will assist the trial in London and asked to be present in the room to “show him our support,” Pignedoli explained – the UK’s Hight court decision is due on Feb 20-21.
