THENATIONALPULSE (Pulse Wires) - Houthi Strikes on Saudi Tankers Send Oil Prices Past $100.

Houthi attacks on Saudi vessels in the Red Sea have further restricted the global oil supply, causing prices to surge and prompting President Trump to threaten military action in Yemen.

PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Houthi militants allied with Iran claim to have struck two Saudi Arabian-flagged tankers in the Red Sea, causing oil prices to pass $100 a barrel for the first time since May. The Red Sea had become a significant alternative trade route for global oil, natural gas, and fertilizer supplies after Iran had largely closed down the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald J. Trump has threatened expanded military action against both Iran and the Houthis if further attacks occur. KEY QUOTE: “A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships. Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very…Open

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, formally referred former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution on Wednesday.  The referral accuses Smith of making “willfully and intentionally false statements” during a closed-door deposition before the committee on December 17, 2025. Jordan’s letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche cites “strong evidence” that Smith’s testimony contradicted newly obtained documents regarding his team’s access to congressional communications in the Trump investigations. The allegation centers on Smith’s responses about whether his office subpoenaed or reviewed text messages from members of Congress. In the…Open

Yuri Bezmenov decided he wanted out of the KGB and the Soviet system some 56 years ago while serving in New Delhi, India. Disguising himself as an American hippie, he defected to the U.S. Embassy and debriefed with the CIA. It was decided that Bezmenov should settle in Canada under a new name for a while. Bezmenov came back to the U.S. in 1980 with a mission to educate people about Soviet “ideological subversion,” which is the basic systematic methodology communists use to take down countries and establish Marxist-Leninist socialist-type states. More recently, a Chinese defector and immigrant, Xi Van Fleet, has been on a crusade to warn Americans about the parallels between what is happening in America today and what Mao did in the…Open

How did the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) and CISA allegedly influence the 2020 election narrative?
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reportedly collaborated with the Stanford University-based Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to suppress information that would help Donald Trump. The EIP allegedly pressured social media companies (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and Pinterest) to modify terms-of-service to include "delegitimization" language, allowing for algorithmic mass censorship of topics like mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and "Antifa."

What examples are provided to illustrate the "Destabilization" stage in the United States?
Examples of destabilization include the disorientation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (mask mandates, lockdowns, and abandonment of proven medical practices) and the civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, which involved narratives of systemic racism, rioting, looting, destruction of property, and the removal of historic statues. The article also notes that efforts to defund local law enforcement in cities like Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Baltimore marked a peak in destabilization.

According to Bezmenov's analysis, what are the primary goals and strategies of the "Demoralization" stage?
Demoralization is considered the most important and hardest-to-reverse stage because it targets how a population interprets reality. Strategies include undermining Judeo-Christian beliefs, customs, and traditions; destroying the family unit to replace it with the state; and breaking national loyalty by rewriting history, denigrating national heroes, and destroying historic monuments.

How does Xi Van Fleet compare modern American "cancel culture" to Mao Zedong's actions in China?
Xi Van Fleet argues that modern American leftist cancel culture is replicating Mao's destruction of the "Four Olds" (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits), which she warns could end freedom in America if not stopped.
