Can the world handle a climate that exceeds the far-reaching excesses of 2022 when the entire world turned upside down with unprecedented flooding, fires, and drought?

NOAA and climate researchers in Germany and China believe an El Nio, starting in 2023-24, is the works. El Nios equate to more heat throughout the planet.

Buckle-up! El Nio could increase ocean temps by 2-to-4 Fahrenheit, impacting the planets entire climate system, and its coming on top of the whackiest, hottest, boldest climate year (2022) in recorded history as paradoxically La Nia in 2022, which is supposed to help cool the planet, didnt help!

In 2022, the planet set heat records, drying up major commercial waterways (Po, Danube, Rhine), extreme severe drought necessitated water delivery by trucks (France, Italy, Chile), fires burned down entire towns (California), as record heat killed thousands (India). None of 2022s record-setting fires, heat, floods, and droughts were normal. In fact, it was especially abnormal, happening in the face of a La Nia, which is part of the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate pattern when the sea surface temperature across the eastern equatorial part of the central Pacific Ocean is typically lower (cooler) by 3 to 5C (5.4 to 9F). But a cool La Nia didnt do the job!

Now an El Nio (warmer-to-hotter) event is on tap for some time in 2023/24, likely lasting 2-5 years. The ramifications will be worldwide. According to Prof Bill McGuire, at University College London, UK: When [El Nio arrives], the extreme weather that has rampaged across our planet in 2021 and 2022 will pale into insignificance. (Source: El Nio Is Comingand the World Isnt Prepared, Wired, Dec. 24, 2022)

El Nio could very easily provide a preview of life at 1.5C, which is widely considered a line-in-the-sand not to be crossed before triggering tipping points thatll far exceed the challenges of a record-setting hot year in 2022. The last El Nio in 2016 was the hottest year ever recorded, but not surprisingly, the oceans ever since then have accumulated much more heat over these past 6 years, now with enough to make 2016 look tame. This next El Nio could be a gut-punch, and the world is not prepared, not even close.

NOAA believes the odds favor El Nio starting this year. Researchers in Germany and China have suggested it could be a strong one. As a result, climate scientists are worried about a more-powerful-than-ever strain on sensitive ecosystems like the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon rainforest, especially as they are already in a fragile state.

The risks are big: Its very likely that the next big El Nio could take us over 1.5C, according to Prof Adam Scaife, the head of long-range prediction at the UK Met Office. The probability of having the first year at 1.5C in the next five-ye...

The much-vaunted Anglo-American special relationship is gaining a new dubious meaning as Britain emerges as an adept agent provocateur for inciting a wider NATO war against Russia.

Warmongering British lawmakers are this week demanding a more robust NATO response over an alleged act of war by Russia involving a Royal Air Force spy plane and a Russian fighter jet.

Recent documents leaked from the Pentagon have indicated that a British recon plane was nearly shot down by a Su-27 over the Black Sea. Following the incident last September, the British Ministry of Defense played down the encounter as a technical malfunction.

It appears now, however, that the British RC-135 spy plane was fired on by the Russian jet, but that the missile missed. It may have been a deliberate warning shot as the British surveillance aircraft is understood to have been near the Russian territory of Crimea. The British and the Americans are supplying the Kiev regime forces with targeting information. So Russia is arguably entitled to take defensive measures against belligerents, as it did when an American MQ Reaper drone was intercepted last month over the Black Sea. The U.S. has reportedly restricted its surveillance flights in the area since that incident.

Now that it is being reported that a Russian missile was fired, some British politicians are demanding a response to an act of war.

This particular incident may well blow over. But it raises concern that British forces are playing an incendiary role in the NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. With that country already pumped up with NATO weapons, and the Black Sea and Baltic region packed with NATO forces conducting massive war maneuvers over the next weeks and months, the danger is heightened for an accidental or even intended escalation. Given NATOs common defense commitments, an incident in...

Ukraine-related Western sanctions against Russia have failed to stop the flow of investment in the countrys far-eastern Khabarovsk Region, bordering on China, Governor Mikhail Degtyarev said this week.

According to the official, a total of 26 new investment projects worth 133 billion rubles ($1.6 billion) were launched in the area in 2022, including a large-scale infrastructure project to build the Pacific Railroad.

It is comparable to the historical construction of the BAM (BaikalAmur Mainline railway). It is the first private railroad in Russia to have a length of 500 kilometers. In a short period of time, we have already built 100 kilometers, Degtyarev stated.

Local projects launched in 2022 include a mining and processing plant at the Kutyn gold deposit in the Tuguro-Chumikansky district, and also the Solnechnaya tin ore processing station. A copper and tin producing plant in the Solnechny district is also nearing completion. The region has also started the development of the Malmyzhsky copper deposit.

Degtyarev also noted that the region last year successfully introduced a simplified procedure for granting land to businesses without them having to bid for import substitution projects, particularly in agriculture, which also drew investors to the area. This year the opportunity was extended to individual entrepreneurs and legal entities involved in import substitution, who can buy a land plot for these purposes for the symbolic sum of 1 ruble.

In his earlier interview, Degtyarev noted that Khabarovsk has been actively boosting cooperation with neighboring China over the past several months, with trade between the region and the Asian powerhouse up 31%, and cargo turnover up by 106% year-on-year as of the end of 2022.

The region also continues working on the Russo-Chinese joint trans-border development territory on Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island, where both Russian and Chinese companies can be residents. They will receive significant benefits for export-import operations, making the territory a de facto free-trade zone.

We are seeing a turn to the East. There is growth in cargo turnover, growth in industrial production as a whole, and growth in the gross regional product. The Eastern part of the country is now pulling the economy, because the Western regions, unfortunately, faced treacherous sanctions and the collapse of logistics chains, the official stated.

You have to hand it to Dennis DuVall. At age 81, hes on the cutting edge of the hottest of political and military issues nuclear weapons and has put life and limb on the right side of history.

On March 23, DuVall began a 60-day prison sentence in Germany for refusing to pay fines for nonviolent interference with the lawless stationing of U.S. hydrogen bombs in Deutschland, at the Bchel air base. (U.S. H-bombs are also forward deployed in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey.)

DuVall recently wrote a Bchel Manifesto where he says: Nonviolent direct actions at Bchel NATO base intended to stop, prevent, or disrupt German Tornado pilots of the 33^rd Fighter-Bomber Wing and the U.S. Air Forces 702^nd Munitions Support Squadron from training to drop B61 thermonuclear bombs on targets in Russia.

Now, with renewed alarm over the nuclear threats due to Russias invasion of Ukraine, DuVall is shining a spotlight on the risk escalation posed by the United States and NATO. Its not just Russia thats ratcheted up the chances of nuclear weapons use. It was German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock who blurted out Jan. 24 in Strasbourg, France, We are fighting a war against Russia While accurate, in that Germany is sending significant warmaking materiel to Ukraine, a high German official essentially declaring war on Russia is hardly wise or adaptive.

Two days after DuVall entered Bautzen prison, east of Dresden, Russias Vladimir Putin announced plans to station Russian nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, causing a loud if hypocritical reaction from the U.S. and NATO. Overnight, the imprisonment of a long-time Veteran for Peace and Air Force veteran of the U.S. war in Vietnam looked like a bellwether for a long-overdue debate on U.S. nukes stationed in Europe, because Putin said his March 25 announcement was a tit-for-tat.

In late March InformNapalm ran a feature about the email hack of a Russian war criminal Colonel Sergey Atroshchenko, commander of 960th Assault Aviation Regiment (AAR), military unit 75387. Following this operation, Ukrainian hacktivist team Cyber Resistance also investigated the work email of the medical service commander of 960th AAR.

The mailbox owned by the lieutenant of the medical service Svyatoslav Filatov had a very secret account name bondjamesbond007@bk.ru and was used exclusively for sending various medical certificates containing the data of the personnel of military unit 75387. This email address was spotted in the correspondence of Sergey Atroshchenko who also received medical documentation from Filatov.

Cyber Resistance hacktivists exclusively handed over to InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community volunteers the data of this correspondence and retrieved attached documents. The dump lead to the identification of more than 150 servicemen (and several civilian contractors) of the 960th AAR. Of these, 74 individuals were officers. Read more about this operation below.

Twitter says Jamal Khashoggi has subscribed to its Blue service

Twitter has given the account of Jamal Khashoggi a verified status, claiming the murdered Saudi journalist has paid for its controversial Blue service.

The blue tick, which officially needs to be paid for, was added to Khashoggi's account on Saturday, as well as accounts previously belonging to Anthony Bourdain, Chadwick Boseman, Pele and Terry Pratchett, all of whom have died.

When users click on the tick icon next to their names, a window appears saying: "This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number."

Khashoggi, a former columnist for Middle East Eye and the Washington Post, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018 in an assassination that American intelligence services believe was approved by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, though he denies this.

He also intimated that AIDS was Dr. Mengele 2.0s first crime against humanity, but then concluded that the disease most likely is in fact real.

Last week, I wondered about the reality of the rivalry between the United States and China. Perhaps the "Thucydides trap" is only a screen that masks the imminent disintegration of the "American empire". In this article, I summarize its course, which Westerners have not understood, and I invite us to think about what may happen when it disappears.

On February 6^th 2020 the BBC News website published a report (which is still available online) concerning a number of terror attacks which took place on that day. As was noted here at the time, one of those incidents was a vehicular attack in Jerusalem which the BBC described as follows: [emphasis added]

Twelve Israeli soldiers were meanwhile hurt in Jerusalem in what the army said was a Palestinian car-ramming attack. []

The Israeli military said a Palestinian rammed his car into a group of soldiers who were marching along a pavement towards the Western Wall, one of Judaisms holiest sites, for an induction ceremony.

One of the soldiers was seriously hurt and required surgery at the Shaare Zedek Medical Centre, while the others were lightly injured.

The BBCs usual avoidance of the term terrorism, together with the use of qualifying language and punctuation, means that what remains on the the whole story.

The BBC however describes its online content as ...

They cannot bring themselves to believe that their governmental authorities are capable of evil.

You see, its that simple.

Despite a list of State atrocities over the lifespan of our human species that is nearly infinite, we here in the post-World War II West, refuse to countenance the idea of a murderous power elite masquerading as government for the good of all.

But how did such a conviction in the truthfulness of the State occur? How can so many be so certain of the unfailing goodness of the West?

Yes, this is a Western phenomenon the advanced democratic, virtuous and egalitarian West of superior moral values, led by America. It is, furthermore, directly linked to the Second World War and, in particular, to a myth fostered by the Western victors, which goes like this:

In genocidal Nazism, the most heinous and exceptional evil was concentrated. We who vanquished this evil are therefore good, and will always be good, regardless of our occasional peccadilloes. State-sponsored evil is a phenomenon of Nazi Germany, and it has been laid to rest.

America in the Fifties, when I was born, through the Seventies as I grew into myself, provided comfort, opportunity and even wealth for the lower and middle classes, factors that contributed to a feeling that life was good and that the country creating such an environment was also good.

When JFK was murdered by the CIA/Deep State of the time, most looked the other way and naively bought the fish tale of a lone marksman and a magic bullet. When the Twin Towers AND WTC Building 7, lets not forget collapsed at freefall speed into their footprints as pulverized rubble on 9/11, no amount of uncanny physics and just plain common sense and eyewitness reports of multiple explosions could unconvince a majority that a rag-tag group of fanatic hijackers guided by an Arab mastermind from a Middle Eastern cave were to blame.

For many people, the words <em>trust the experts</em> now invoke a sort of pavlovian horror response. This trope serves as a visceral reminder of 3 years constant gaslighting for daring to question the narrative, the relentless stream of celebrity medics repeating the <em>safe and effective</em> mantra and the bullying and coercion to take a vaccine that millions of people didnt feel they needed or wanted. It had all the hallmarks of an abusive relationship. Core medical ethical principles were destroyed, the weaknesses of protocolised top-down healthcare delivery were exposed and of course there was direct harm to individuals. Is it any wonder that a great many of the British public never want to hear the words <em>our NHS</em> ever again, cringing as they remember the weekly clapping ritual.</p> <p>An inclination to throw the baby out with the bathwater is now a strong instinct for many who feel completely let down. If the relationship with state healthcare stands any chance of being repaired, harms enacted in recent years need to be properly acknowledged and peoples concerns carefully listened to. The uncomfortable question as to whether the NHS can function in its current incarnation should be aired.

By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. | The Defender | April 21 , 2023

The Tennessee Legislature on Thursday passed a law that prevents healthcare providers in the state from vaccinating minors without parental consent. The bill is now awaiting Gov. Bill Lees signature.

The Mature Minor Doctrine Clarification Act, passed in the Senate last week and in the House Thursday, requires healthcare providers to obtain informed consent from a parent or legal guardian before vaccinating a minor.

During its COVID-19 vaccination campaign in 2021, the Tennessee Department of Health (DOH) invoked the mature minor doctrine which says children of different ages have different maturities and capacities to consent to medical treatment.

The DOH used this doctrine to justify allowing minors ages 14 and older to consent to vaccination without informing their parents, as long as the child is deemed mature by their physician.

But Rolf Hazlehurst, senior staff attorney for Childrens Health Defense (CHD), said the DOHs vaccination policy was based on a dangerous oversimplification of the mature minor doctrine.

Many Tennessee lawmakers agreed. During an April 10 subcommittee meeting, bill sponsor Rep. John Ragan (R-Oak Ridge) said the new law, then a bill, clarified the mature minor doctrine, which he said, has been misinterpreted and shall we say, abused somewhat.

Ragan added that by passing this law, legislators would be giving parents back their rights to make medical decisions for their children.

Hazelhurst told The Defender the law is extremely important because it closes a legal loophole, which endangered parents, children and healthcare providers.

The board made the recommendation despite widespread outcry about social media censorship after the Twitter Files and several ongoing lawsuits revealed collusion between state actors and social media companies to censor dissenting opinions and factual information that contradict official narratives, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recommendation came in response to a request by Meta in July that the oversight board  an independent panel of tech and legal experts selected by Meta to weigh in on content policy issues assess whether a less restrictive approach to censoring misinformation might better align with its values and human rights responsibilities.

Metas current misinformation policy sets different categories of harm content might cause, making that content subject to removal. Content is censored if the platform deems that it contributes to the risk of imminent physical harm, could cause interference with the functioning of political processes or contains certain highly deceptive manipulated media.

But the board didnt find inconsistency between Metas misinformation policy and its values and human rights responsibilities. Instead, it said Metas current exceptional measures of eliminating disinformation are justified.

The board also urged Meta to begin a process to reassess which misleading claims it removes, to be more transparent about government requests for information, to consider making its misinformation policies more localized and to investigate how the architecture of the platform facilitates the spread of misinformation.

Meta said Thursday it will publicly respond to the boards non-binding recommendations within 60 days.

On Thursday, Ohio Reps. Jim Jordan and Michael Turner, chairmen of the Judiciary and Intel Committees, respectively, sent a letter to Blinken informing him that their committees are conducting oversight of federal law-enforcement and intelligence matters within [their] respective jurisdictions.

We are examining that public statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely discredited a New York Post story regarding Hunter Bidens laptop as supposed Russian disinformation, they wrote. As part of our oversight, we have learned that you played a role in the inception of this statement while serving as a Biden campaign advisor, and we therefore request your assistance with our oversight.

During his recent testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Michael Morell, a former deputy director of the CIA who signed onto the letter, revealed that on or around October 17, 2020, [Blinken] reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story, which had been published in the New York Post on Oct. 14. According to Morell, Blinkens outreach set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement that baselessly asserted the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
