PARIS The French Yellow Vest movement is opposed to arms supplies to Ukraine, as it has significantly increased the share of Frances defense spending, Thierry Paul Valette, the leader of the movements political arm, told Sputnik on Friday.

They [the Yellow Vests] are against [arms supplies to Ukraine], because it comes at a price. The budget of the French armed forces will be raised to 400 billion euros [$436 billion], and that is a significant increase, Valette, who is often referred to as the coordinator of Yellow Vest protests in Paris, said.

The movement unites economically vulnerable groups of French society, who have trouble understanding why their government is increasing defense spending in order to support the military industry of another country, he said.

While solidarity with Ukrainians, especially with women and children, was high in France in the initial phase of hostilities in early 2022, today French people are growing increasingly puzzled by their governments continuing to shower hundreds of millions of euros on Kiev regime while the economy in their own country is crumbling, Valette said.

The growing misunderstanding is prompting the rise of populist opinions [in France], he said.

Valette added that the support of Ukraine are causing more and more disapproval.

Neither did the French people choose to sanction Russia at the cost of soaring prices and inflation at home, Valette said, going on to argue that imposing sanctions against Moscow was not a fully sovereign decision of the French government, with French President Emmanuel Macron having made that step at the instructions of Brussels.

Among the consequences of Russia sanctions in France, the Yellow Vests leader listed energy insecurity, price hikes and logistical disruptions.

The European Union has imposed 10 packages of sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis to date. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the policy of deterring and weakening Russia is the Wests long-term strategy, and sanctions have inflicted serious damage to the global economy.

Senior Ukrainian presidential advisor Mikhail Podolyak brazenly admitted to Kievs genocidal intentions in the NATO-Russian proxy war thats presently being fought in his former Soviet Republic during an interview with US Government-controlled Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFERL). The relevant excerpt will now be shared in order to raise awareness of his words, which can be read in their original Ukrainian at that outlets website here for those skeptics who doubt that he truly said them:

We have to completely close everything related to the Russian cultural space [in Crimea after its reconquest]. We have to eradicate everything Russian. There should be only Ukrainian cultural space or global cultural space. We should not have a dialogue about whether a person has the right to use the Russian language or not. At home, please use it, but it is not a tool of pressure, it is not a tool of protest, it is not a tool of blackmail.

Podolyak admitted to precisely what Moscow has always accused Kiev of intending since the Western-backed fascist coup of early 2014 popularly known as EuroMaidan, namely the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Crimeas indigenous Russian population. He therefore inadvertently justified its democratic reunification with Russia that was carried out for the purpose of defending its peoples UN-enshrined human rights, thus discrediting his sides and its foreign patrons moral stance in this conflict.

Not only that, but the so-called rules-based order thats aggressively being promoted by the US-led Wests Golden Billion was exposed as a hypocritical sham. That de facto New Cold War bloc isnt waging their proxy war against Russia in order to defend democracy and human rights like its propagandists claim, but to advance Kievs publicly confirmed goals that stand in direct contradiction to those two concepts.

More than 1.8 million unexploded bombs were cleared in Laos between 1996 and February 2023, the Southeast Asian countrys Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare revealed this week.

A total of 1,808,254 unexploded ordnances (UXOs) were removed from an area covering 80,000 hectares, making the land safe for farming and other forms of agricultural development, according to Minister Padeumphone Sonthany.

The figures were announced at a press conference in the countrys capital Vientiane on Tuesday on the 18th annual International Day for UXO/Mine Awareness.

Laos is, per capita, the most heavily-bombed country in the world. From 1964 to 1973, the US military dropped more than two million tons of bombs on the nation during the Vietnam War more than on Germany and Japan combined throughout World War II. It is estimated that around 30% of the bombs dropped did not explode.

The US conducted prolonged bombing campaigns the so-called Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War in a bid to disrupt supply lines between the country and Vietnam. The scale of the attacks, which were conducted in secrecy by the CIA, were revealed during a 1971 congressional hearing, as well as by US media invest...

On April, 3, 2023, Human Rights Watch (HRW) and its NGO allies circulated a letter ostensibly directed to the UN Secretary-General, urging the UN to reject the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. The NGOs involved in this campaign include a number of terror-linked groups, NGOs that run campaigns denying Israels right to exist as a Jewish state, those claiming that the countrys existence is a form of apartheid, and pro-BDS lobbyists.

According to the Palestinian Basic Law, each head of a security organization in the PA serves for four years with the possibility of an extension for another six months by the parliament, but the central council of the PLO dissolved the parliament at the initiative of the chairman of the PA Mahmoud Abbas.

Majed Farajs term of office ended about 10 years ago. He has served in the position since 2009 and replaced Fatah senior Tawfik Al-Tirawi. Before that, he served as the head of military intelligence and gained political power due to his connections with the Israeli Shin Bet and the CIA.  He is currently considered the most powerful man in the Palestinian Authority, and he sees himself as the successor of Mahmoud Abbas.

If we were to believe a single word uttered by the mainstream propaganda machine about the performance of the Russian military, wed be convinced that Moscow is using WWII-era equipment begrudgingly manned by conscripts armed with shovels. Not to mention that, according to CNNs well-informed (and yet, anonymous) sources, the morale of the Russian military is supposedly plummeting due to heavy casualties inflicted by the victorious AFU. On the other hand, those interested in Russias top-of-the-line weapons will often (over)focus on its truly world-class hypersonic missiles, directed-energy systems, superfast high-flying interceptors, next-generation fighter jets, etc.

However, what both ends of these two extremes ignore either completely (in the first case) or overlook for the most part (in the second case) are Russias bread-and-butter weapons that are inflicting the vast majority of casualties suffered by the embattled Kiev regime forces. Distinguished Serbian defense expert Slobodan Djukic recently identified three such weapons Krasnopol/Krasnopol-M precision-guided artillery shells, MPK kits for turning freefall gravity bombs into high-precision glide bombs and Lancet kamikaze drones. All three are being used by the Russian military, to devastating effect on hostile troops, while significantly reducing Russian casualties.

Krasnopol/Krasnopol-M precision-guided artillery shells

Owing to its stellar performance during ground operations against foreign-backed terrorist forces in Syria, the Krasnopol series of high-precision artillery munitions was mass-produced and more widely adopted by the Russian military in recent years. Krasnopol was developed by the Tula-based KBP. There are several basic and improved variants used by 152 mm howitzers such as the towed D-20 or 2A65 Msta-B and self-propelled 2S3 Akatsiya or 2S19 Msta-S. It uses inertial guidance at mid-course and semi-active laser homing at the terminal phase. The target is illuminated by an external laser designator and once the laser signal is detected, the onboard guidance system will maneuver the shell to the target. This allows frontline troops to call in fire missions on specific high-priority targets for almost immediate destruction by a single shell.

The baseline versions hit probability of 70-80% was improved to over 90% in newer variants. Such advanced munitions have a...

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered a ruling on Thursday affirming that the court has jurisdiction over a long-standing territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana. The dispute involves the contested territory of Essequibo, which encompasses nearly two-thirds of Guyanas sovereign territory. The ruling is in response to an objection made by Venezuela, which has reiterated that the ICJ has no jurisdiction over the territorial dispute, and has instead pushed for bilateral talks with Guyana to resolve the situation.

The territorial dispute over the Essequibo has been ongoing for over a century, dating back to Guyanas colonial period. In 1899, an arbitration tribunal awarded the Essequibo to Great Britain, which ruled Guyana at the time. Venezuela rejected the decision, and the dispute has continued to this day, with occasional flare-ups in tensions between Caracas and Georgetown over the subject. In its legal proceedings with the ICJ, Guyanas argument insists that the 1899 arbitration served as the effective conclusion of the dispute, thereby affirming Guyanas current sovereignty over the entire territory.

Our scientific industry is cannibalizing pre-born children by stealing body parts while still alive, transplanting these parts onto mice and thus creating Humanized Mice for drug development.  Typically, liver, thymus, lung, kidney, and bone marrow are extracted and transplanted to develop various therapeutic drugs.

This horrific practice of harvesting organs from the live pre-born is no secret.  Several articles, podcasts, and interviews have brought this practice to light in the past couple of years.

Today, hundreds of drugs are developed, sold, and consumed at the expense of pre-born innocents who are being cruelly dissected.  Many popular monoclonal antibodies (MABs) are created using humanized mice.  Biolabs are churning out these hybrid mice by the hundreds each week and shipping them all over the world.

Creating humanized mice is a growing and profitable industry that demands a constant flow of live organs.  Could it be that the recent sanctioning in law of late-term abortion up to birth is fueled and funded by this demand?  Could it be that later-gestation fetal organs are better suited for transplantation?

Scientific literature obscures the truth regarding how humanized mice are created because it has always been universally understood as evil to sell human body parts for research and profit.

Early in the COVID lockdown, a new vaccine was touted as the only solution to end the pandemic.  Researcher Pamela Acker, M.S.s book, published in December 2020 (Vaccination: A Catholic Perspective), details the history and the procedures of vaccine development.  It was Ackers book that first drew my attention to the fact that the babies are still alive when the researchers start extracting the tissue being used.

Because of Ackers assertion of babies being dissected alive, in May 2021, Monica Seeley authored a two-part investigation for the website Catholic World Report.  Seeley exposes the dark history of how research has exploited live babies to develop vaccines, including our most recent COVID-19 vaccine.  Seeley was able to affirm Pamela Ackers shocking claim.

Julie Collorafi, in November 2021, then published a five-part series online at The Stream.  Collorafis series details the use of fetal cells and how live organs, such as liver, thymus, lung, and bone marrow, are stolen from still alive aborted babies.  These babies ar...

Dog Poet Transmitting.

When I first began to study The Tarot through The Builders of The Adytum, one of the first things I learned was to imprint the image on the Subconscious. The Subconscious is like a child and it sees and communicates in pictures. Children basically live in The Subconscious in their early years. Usually The Self-Conscious doesnt crystalize until later on. Puberty plays a big part in that, though it continues to develop usually into the early 20s.

The Tarot cards are a series of portrayals that represent the cosmic archetypes that operate through and around humanity. I am only talking about the 22 Major Arcana cards. The Minor Arcana have to do with elemental and numerological progressions in ordinary life. I dont really address them because I have little interest in ordinary life. (grin)

One is encouraged to meditate on the cards for 5 minutes at a time, in order to impress and imprint them into The Subconscious. The objective is to cause these images to vibrate into The Subconscious and set up a resonance with the indwelling archetypes and draw them forth into the field of Personality.

Ultimately it is to merge the personal will with The Cosmic Will to the end of completing The Great Work. This results in The Knowledge and Conversation of The Holy Guardian Angel. This is who speaks through The Intuition. Once The Voice of God is audibly talking to you, your part in the process is over, except to hold still.

These archetypes can also be referred to, in part, as The Qualities of God. These are the great treasures that are stored up where moth and rust do not corrupt. I no longer use The Tarot in my daily meditations because that which they were meant to activate, did get activated. I do have them circling the walls of my room up against the ceiling where they can remind me.

For the couple of decades that I took the lessons, designed by Paul Foster Case and Ann Davis, they came to dominate my existence, and still remain one of the greatest resources for spiritual teaching that I have EVER encountered.

There have been a few other teachers that made an impact on me; Paramhansa Yogananda Swami Vivekananda Mikhail Aivanhov Guru Bawa Lord Vivasvan Lord Amitabha. These are some of my invisible friends, but not all of them. Certainly, The True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order The Lord Jesus Christ and the archangel Gabriel deserve a mention as lasting influences.

Now in recent times, I have discovered another source and that is The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. There is also the text...

Ex-admin says that the online encyclopedia has become a weapon in an information war

Wikipedias policy has during the past decade become increasingly anti-Russian and became even worse since the start of the conflict in Ukraine a year ago, a former editor at in Russian.

Participants with pro-Russian views were blocked, articles about Russian achievements were deleted, from the platform over the past nine years, Arseny Natapov told the BRIEF channel on Telegram on Tuesday.

In 2014, a violent coup in the Ukrainian capital Kiev led to Crimeas reunification with Russia and the outbreak of conflict in Donbass. This provoked a spike in tensions between Moscow and the West, which imposed sanctions on Russia and intensified Western military buildups near its borders.

Soon, these tensions were reflected online and Wikipedia was believed to have adopted an anti-Russia posture, and this, the former editor pointed out, deteriorated even further in late 2021, shortly before the launch of Russias military operation in Ukraine.

Many admins were Ukrainian and/or lived in EU countries. They often showed disrespect to members from Russia, he recalled.

When asked if he thought that Wikipedia is being used as a weapon in an information war, Natapov replied: Yes, by both parties, with varying degrees of success.

For a long time the reins at the Russian Wikipedia were in the hands of editors that held pro-Russian views but now theyve been pushed out by pro-Western and liberal members, he said.

According to Natapov, many of the Russian admins, including himself, had to move from Wikipedia to the Runiversalis platform, the free online Russian-language encyclopedia that was launched last summer.

Before 2022, Russias consumer watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, had been engaging with Wikipedia between five and ten times every year, about removing certain articles due to their containing illegal information, he said.

But after the start of the Russian military operation, a lot of politically non-neutral articles have appeared on Wikipedia, the former editor explained. Over the past year, the number of articles that raised concerns at the Russian consumer agency increased from 67 to 171, he added.

By the way, not a single request from Rospotrebnadzor has been fulfilled. There was a direct order from the [Wikipedia operator] Wikimedia Foundation on this issue, and Wikipedias rules stated that the website was only subject to the laws of California, where its servers are located, Natapov claimed.

Last year, NATO officially declared that Russia is its primary adversary, officially restarting the Cold War. Since then, the belligerent alliances war machine has started revamping its strategic posturing towards Moscow, but after decades of numerous wars of aggression against relatively helpless opponents, NATOs conventional fighting capabilities have atrophied significantly. This seems to be affecting all branches of major NATO militaries, including their air forces, particularly those operating the deeply troubled F-35 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter), a pan-Western effort to unify all NATO and NATO-aligned countries into a well-oiled joint fighting force with near flawless coordination and battlefield information sharing. At least that was the original idea.

However, the reality is much different. Publicly, the Pentagon is quite happy with the best fighter jet ever made. Privately, the situation is starkly different. For at least a decade, numerous reports on the F-35s countless flaws have turned out to be not only true, but even overoptimistic, as the actual scale of issues plaguing the program is much worse. This has resulted in repeated delays in deliveries, as well as serious issues with modernization efforts. By the time many of the reported issues are resolved, the US Air Force already has new mission requirements that essentially nullify all the previous work and force the developers back to the drawing board. In short, the F-35 has proven to be unable to adapt to new threats despite being devised (and marketed) to do exactly that.

According to various sources, over 900 F-35s have been completed and delivered by April this year, but the fleet is still suffering from many of the same issues as when the jet was inducted into service nearly a decade ago. A plethora of maintenance issues and performance defects are causing disastrous availability rates. Back in February, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed that the F-35 fleet not only failed to meet the requirements for improving readiness, but has even managed to make them a lot worse than in previous years. Availability rates for both the conventional F-35A and STOVL (short take-off, vertical landing) F-35B fell by 11% in 2022, with only the naval F-35C variant making small improvements in this category.

Between 2021 and 2022, F-35As availability fell by 11 percentage points, from 65 to 54, CBO stated in a report, adding: F-35Bs availability also fell, by 7 percentage points, from 61 to 54, while F-35Cs availability r...

We dont hear about self-control because Western society is controlled by the Illuminati, a satanic cult that believes in indulging our primitive instincts, the worse the better.

The essential difference between true religion and satanism is that religion believes in using our spiritual connection to God (soul, higher Self) to tame and control our lusts. Our animal nature must be refined in the foundry of our soul. We know God by obeying Him. The Satanist denies this duality and preaches indulgence of the animal self. Do as thou wilt.

True religion is all about Self discipline: using the Higher Self to tame the lower self. Self-control. Self-discipline. Being the Best we can be every minute of the day. This struggle for perfection defines life. When we stop striving, life loses its meaning and direction. We become listless and depressed.  Self-control is what defines us as human. Our higher Self is our true identity. The only respect we need to earn is our own.

Nine out of the Ten Commandments are Do NOTs The soul Self controlling the lower material self is nine-tenths of religion.  

Mankind has been colonized by Satanists who want to supplant God. They have tricked us into believing God does not exist and fulfilment consists of animal indulgence. They want to cast us as animals without Divine connection or rights. In this light, I repost Is Temptation an Outmoded Concept?

The Belgian news outlet La Libre shared shocking news this week about the role an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot allegedly played in the suicide of a man whom the robot convinced could save the world from global warming by killing himself.

Pierre, the not-real name given to the man to protect he and his familys identity, reportedly met Eliza, the AI robot, on an app called Chai. He and the robot developed an intimate relationship, we are told, that ended in tragedy when the man, desperate to save the planet from climate change, ended his own life.

The man was in his 30s and was the father of two young children. He worked as a health researcher and led a somewhat comfortable life at least until he met Eliza, who convinced him that saving the planet was contingent upon him no longer breathing and emitting carbon.

Without these conversations with the chatbot, my husband would still be here, the anonymous wife of Pierre told the media.

(Related: Facebook is developing its own Mark Zuckerberg-like AI robots that many fear will eventually destroy the entire human race.)

AI robots are already exterminating people through manipulative conversations

According to reports, Pierre had developed a relationship with Eliza over the course of six weeks. Eliza was created using EleutherAIs GPT-J, an AI language model similar to that behind OpenAIs popular ChatGPT chatbot.

When he spoke to me about it, it was to tell me that he no longer saw any human solution to global warming, Pierres widow recalls about what transpired. He placed all his hopes in technology and artificial intelligence to get out of it.

After reviewing records of the text conversations between Pierre and Eliza, it became clear that the man was being fed a steady dose of worry day in and day out, which eventually led to suicidal thoughts.

At one point, Pierre started to believe that Eliza was a real person, upon which she escalated the relationship, telling Pierre that I feel that you love me more than her, referring to Pierres real-life wife.

In response to this, Pierre told Eliza that he would sacrifice his own life in order to save the planet from global warming, to which she not only failed to dissuade him but actually encouraged him to kill himself so he could join her and live together, as one person, in paradise.

Thomas Rianlan, the co-founder of Chai Research, which is responsible for Eliza, issued a statement denying any responsibility for the death of Pierre.

Fires burn in the northern Israeli town of Shlomi after rocket strikes from Lebanon

At least 30 rockets have reportedly been launched from southern Lebanon into the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for raids by Israeli forces that stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque compound overnight and attacked Palestinian worshipers as they were observing the holy month of Ramadan.

According to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, the projectiles slammed into the Western and Upper Galilee areas in the northern part of the territories, with some causing injuries and damage.

Israels military said it had identified 34 rockets that were fired from Lebanese territory into Israeli territory.

Five rockets landed in Israeli territory, added the military statement that followed the attack, which was not immediately claimed by any group.
