De Onthullende Yoeri Albrecht Affaire 17 "IndyWatch Feed War"

Het vrijblijvend provincialisme van de conformistische politiek georinteerde elite in de VS en Europa heeft ertoe geleid dat links vandaag de dag uitgesproken rechts is geworden. Terwijl de strijd tegen het failliete neoliberalisme in toenemende mate op straat wordt uitgevochten, heeft links de kant gekozen van het Amerikaans militair-industrieel complex, waar president Eisenhower al in 1961 met klem voor waarschuwde. Ondertussen verspreidt  rechts zoals Senior Director for Europe and Russia of the National Security Council onder president Trump, de Brits-Amerikaanse deskundige op het gebied van de buitenlandse betrekkingen, Fiona Hill, momenteel opvallend linkse opvattingen.

Los Angeles homeless population surpasses 75,000, New York sets record and reaches 'tipping point' with over 100,000 "IndyWatch Feed World"

The unhoused population of Los Angeles has grown by 9%, with more than 75,000 people now experiencing homelessness across the county, according to data from the government's annual count, released on Thursday. The Los Angeles homeless services authority (Lahsa) report suggests that there was a sharper increase in homelessness this year compared with last year, when the agency estimated a 4% rise in the population. The agency count includes people living on the street and people in shelters. While the overall population saw a 9% increase, there was a sharper increase in people considered "unsheltered", defined as those living outside in tents, cars, RVs and other makeshift encampments. The unsheltered population increased by 14% from 2022 to 2023, with more than 50,156 people living outside, making up 70% of the overall homeless population. The number of homeless people living indoors in shelters has remained steady at roughly 20,000 people.

Pioneering Quantum Simulations on Photonic Chips: A New Era in Quantum Computing "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

A system using photonics-based synthetic dimensions could be used to help explain complex natural phenomena.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a chip-scale optical quantum simulation system using controlled photon.

A photon is a particle of light. It is the basic unit of light and other electromagnetic radiation, and is responsible for the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Photons have no mass, but they do have energy and momentum. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, and can have different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors of light. Photons can also have different energies, which correspond to different frequencies of light.

Were on the brink of the biggest changes to computings DNA and its not just quantum thats coming "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Computers are built around logic: performing mathematical operations using circuits. Logic is built around things such as Addersnot the snake; the basic circuit that adds together two numbers. This is as true of todays microprocessors as all those going back to the very beginning of computing history. You could go back to an abacus and find that, at some fundamental level, it does the same thing as your shiny gaming PC. Its just much, much less capable.

Nowadays, processors can do a lot of mathematical calculations using any number of complex circuits in a single clock. And a lot more than just add two numbers together, too. But to get to your shiny new gaming CPU, there has been a process of iterating on the classical computers that came before, going back centuries.

Minnesota makes North Dakota sad "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Im sorry (not sorry). Minnesotas new progressive surge might actually hurt universities in regressive states. We just passed some significant laws to help Minnesota students.

Minnesota this year passed the North Star Promise scholarship program, which will pay college tuition and fees for in-state residents whose families earn $80,000 a year or less. The program, set to launch in the fall of 2024, is projected to cost $117 million and would help about 15,000 to 20,000 students, according to the states office of higher education.

Wow, I wish wed had that when my kids were going to college I would have qualified, and it would have been a big help. Better late then never, though, and Im happy to see a new generation benefit. The state to our West is not happy about it, though.

Minnesotas ambitious plan to give lower-income residents free college has created a crisis in neighboring North Dakota, where higher education officials worry about a drop in enrollment from Minnesota students who can get a better deal at home.

North Dakota college leaders spoke at a meeting this week of the State Board of Higher Education, whose members brainstormed ways to prevent a flood of Minnesota students leaving North Dakota schools.

This has catastrophic implications. This is a very serious situation for us, David Cook, president of North Dakota State University, said at the meeting.

But why should North Dakota care about a benefit given to Minnesota residents? I was surprised to learn this:

More than half of North Dakota State Universitys incoming class, and 45% of its undergraduate student body, consists of students from Minnesota, according to estimates presented at the meeting. Minnesota natives make up 24% undergraduates at North Dakota State College of Science, and 28% at the University of North Dakota.

NDSU and UND are both right on the state border you can live in Minnesota and easily commute to either of those schools. Theres nothing wrong with those universities, and I can see how they might panic at the thought of a quarter to half their students suddenly transferring out. Were all suffering with the effects of the pandemic, I sympathize with any university taking an additional hit.

Its easily fixed, though. Just pass some progressive legislation in your legislature, Dakotans, and give students free tuition and spend mo...

ALERT ~ Underground Injection Well (UIC) Proposed in Fayette Co. PA for Fracking Brine Water "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

Nicholson TWP., Fayette Co. PA ~ Note two circles around proposed UIC well site

Public Comments Needed for Nicholson Township, Fayette County UIC Well

From an Advisory of Jim Rosenberg, Fayette Marcellus Watch, Fayette Co., PA, 7/1/23

In Pennsylvania, Underground Injection Control (UIC) wells are regulated *directly* by EPA. If a UIC well is being constructed by converting a conventional extraction well, PA-DEP must also issue a permit for the conversion. Unfortunately, EPA discloses NOTHING to the public about these permits until it is about to issue the permit! (As opposed to PA-DEP, which releases information about permits shortly after they are received.)

Here in Fayette County we are faced with our first experience of a proposed UIC well for disposing of fracking waste water. A company called G2 STEM LLC has applied for a UIC well in Nicholson Twp to be converted from a conventional well called Orville Higinbotham 1. EPA has scheduled a tentative virtual hearing on this permit for July 11, *BUT* they will only hold the hearing if enough people request the hearing, and requests must be received by July 4. For more information, EPAs public announcement page for this permit is located here:

https://www.epa.gov/pa/underground-injection-control-uic-program-notice-draft-permit-g2-stem-llc-pas2d061bfay

To request a hearing, please send E-mail by July 4 to:

Kevin Rowsey at this address ~ R3_UIC_Mailbox@epa.gov

Please put in the subject: Request for Hearing for permit PAS2D061BFAY

The public notice page states: Requests to hold this public hearing must be received via email or telephone to EPA by July 4, 2023. When requesting a public hearing, please state the nature of the issues you propose to raise. EPA expressly reserves the right to cancel this hearing unless a significant degree of public interest is evidenced by July 4, 2023.

Tulsi Gabbard warns Biden pushing world toward nuclear war "IndyWatch Feed War"

Press TV July 2, 2023

Former US presidential contender and ex-lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard has slammed US President Joe Biden over his war-mongering, accusing the octogenarian leader of pushing the world towards a nuclear war over Ukraine.

Speaking on Saturday at a meeting in a university in Centennial in the US state of Colorado, Gabbard said the Biden administrations war-mongering policy was shoving the world on the brink of nuclear disaster.

We are faced with the reality. Now, President Bidens actions and policies have pushed us to the brink of nuclear war, she said.

The former Democratic lawmaker from Hawaii warned that the US-led proxy war against Russia posed an existential crisis, threatening the very existence of humanity.

This is an existential crisis, not only for us here but the world. This proxy war against Russia using the Ukrainian peoples lives continues to escalate, Gabbard said in her speech which was broadcast on her social media.

She insisted that it was time for a reality check to see if Biden and his lackeys had any awareness of the risk and dangers of delivering more and deadlier weapons to Ukraine, saying it would only increase the likelihood of a possible direct confrontation between the US-led NATO forces and Russia.

Now if you hear President Biden and his administration talk about this, they talk about World War III and nuclear war as though it is just another war, just another conflict it is so far removed from the reality they are not being honest with the American people what the cost and consequences of these wars would look like, Gabbard added.

But it still looks delicious. This is a fresco found in the ruins of Pompeii.

The more I stared, the hungrier I got. I could probably make the focaccio, since I wont find it in the markets around here, and I make pesto all the time. But what to top it with?

Demystifying FR-4: An In-depth Guide to Its Properties and Benefits for PCBs "IndyWatch Feed World"

When it comes to printed circuit boards (PCBs), one term that you are likely to come across is FR-4. But what exactly is FR-4, and why is it so important in the world of PCB manufacturing? In this in-depth guide, we will demystify FR-4, exploring its properties and highlighting the benefits it brings to PCBs.

FR-4 is a widely used material in the production of PCBs. It is a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate that exhibits excellent electrical insulation properties, making it an ideal choice for circuit board substrates. But what sets FR-4 apart from other materials? Lets delve deeper into its properties to find out.

Electrical Insulation

FR-4 is renowned for its exceptional electrical insulation properties. It has a high dielectric strength, meaning it can withstand high voltages without conducting electricity. This characteristic is crucial for preventing short circuits and ensuring the integrity of the circuitry.

Thermal Stability

PCBs often operate in demanding environments that subject them to temperature extremes. FR-4 offers excellent thermal stability, allowing it to withstand elevated temperatures without losing its structural integrity. This property is particularly important in applications where PCBs are exposed to high-power components or undergo soldering processes.

Mechanical Strength

FR-4 is known for its robustness and mechanical strength. The glass reinforcement provides rigidity and stability to the laminate, making it highly resistant to bending, twisting, and impact. This strength ensures that the PCB can withstand the rigors of assembly, installation, and operation.

Flame Retardancy

Flame Retardancy

Safety is a paramount concern in electronics, especially when it comes to fire hazards. FR-4 is inherently flame retardant, meaning it has the ability to resist combustion and limit the spread of flames. This property significantly reduces the risk of fire and enhances the overall safety of electronic devices.

Chemical Resistance

PCBs often come into contact with various chemic...

The Cop28 UAE logo is displayed on the screen during the opening ceremony of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) in Abu Dhabi on 16 January 2023 (Reuters)

Governments participating in Cop28 later this year must pressure the host nation, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to release "unjustly imprisoned" activists, Amnesty International said on the 10th anniversary of their infamous mass trial. 

To ensure the annual UN climate conference is "not tarnished by repression", governments around the world must pressure Abu Dhabi to release the prisoners who are part of what has been dubbed the UAE 94 case, said Amnesty's Heba Morayef on Sunday 

"Governments that could influence the UAE have stayed disappointingly silent on the need for these prisoners to be immediately released," Morayef, who is the regional director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty, said. 

"COP28 will not bring about the ambitious action we need to avoid climate breakdown if it is held in an environment where the host state has laws that restrict the freedom of expression of participants and a track record of throttling civil society." 

At the height of Arab pro-democracy uprisings in 2011, UAE authorities arrested dozens of people for trying to overthrow the Emirati government, a charge the defendants vehemently denied.

Independent Judiciary? Then Why Does the Supreme Court Keep Picking Winners and Losers Like the GOP? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

In its history, the Supreme Court has gotten plenty of decisions horribly wrong. However, in most cases, these errors were later rectified when new justices issued rulings that reflected how society had evolved. The current court, perhaps the most political of all time, is doing the opposite.

As this term has shown, the six conservatives on the bench seem hellbent on imposing their archaic vision of the US on a country that has long since moved on.

Even worse, there is no recourse against the actions of these judicial tyrants.

To understand just how much of an outlier the Roberts court is, its worth looking at some of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time and putting them into context.

There is no doubt which case tops that list.

In 1857, the Supreme Court upheld slavery in Dred Scott v. Sanford and ruled that African Americans could not be US citizens.

Even in the context of the time, that was a terrible decision in every way. It is possible that the court felt that settling the slavery issue at the expense of Blacks would prevent a civil war, which obviously didnt happen. But even that most charitable interpretation of that ruling cant mask how awful it was.

Dred Scott started a bit of a trend. Over the next century, many of the Supreme Courts worst decisions came at the expense of African Americans. For example, there were the so-called Civil Rights Cases, decided in 1883, which invalidated the Civil Rights Act of 1875.

Next came Plessy v. Ferguson with its separate but equal ruling, which upheld state-level segregation in 1896.

For generations, these rulings imposed countless hardships and injustices on African Americans, and they allowed racism to fester and be institutionalized.

Now, without defending any of these decisions, it is important to remember that they were products of their times as were the justices making them.

If, for example, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the decision that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, had somehow been handed down in 1896  instead of Plessy...

2023's lack of noctilucent clouds 'may be due to solar maximum' "IndyWatch Feed World"

2023 has not been a good year for noctilucent clouds (NLCs). First, NASA's iconic AIM spacecraft broke, losing power when its main battery failed. We could no longer see noctilucent clouds from space. Next, the clouds themselves failed. "As we have have passed Summer Solstice, the NLC season still has not started for me," laments Ruslan Merzlyakov, who usually photographs many NLCs from his home in Jutland, Denmark. "I made this new film to share my experience trying to photograph them." NLCs are clouds of frosted meteor smoke. They form every year in summer when wisps of water vapor rise up to the edge of space. At altitudes greater than 80 km, the water crystallizes around disintegrated meteoroids, forming electric-blue structures visible in the night sky.

Sanctioned Russian cargo ships make over 100 stops at Turkey's ports "IndyWatch Feed World"

Russia cargo vessels under U.S. sanctions for shipping weapons and other supplies have been regularly stopping at Turkish ports since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, most likely bolstering its military campaign, per a report by the Wall Street Journal or WSJ. This exclusive report cited shipping records and stated that these sanctioned Russian ships had made more than 100 stops at Turkish ports since May 2022 and that these visits still continue. Some of these vessels underwent repairs and maintenance or received services barred under U.S. sanctions. This has raised the probability that Washington might also impose restrictions on certain Turkish businesses for aiding Russia and affecting the Western efforts to limit Russia's military support.

EU states need Russia, not Ukraine - Polish MEP "IndyWatch Feed World"

Ukraine urgently needs to show progress on the battlefield, Polish MEP Witold Jan Waszczykowski has suggested. Many EU nations are not interested in the country and would rather restore trade with Russia, he told the Ukrainian media outlet UNIAN. "Most European nations, such as Germany and France, do not need Ukraine. They need Russia to return to the world economy. They need Russian gas and oil," the veteran politician told UNIAN on Thursday. He added that Kiev had "three to four months" to show progress in its counteroffensive against Russia. If it fails to deliver, "Europe will push you to freeze the conflict and start negotiations with Russia, as happened in 2015," he explained, calling the scenario "pessimistic." Comment: The EU is currently operating as a vassal to US interests and it's unlikely they'll be 'pushing' for anything without their say so.

Looking Forward to Seeing Trump Debate? Dont Hold Your Breath "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

With primary debate season just around the corner, former President Donald Trump is once again making a big deal out of whether he will participate in any of these events. At various points over the coming weeks, he will play coy, make demands, and try to exert pressure all to generate as much media coverage as possible in the process.

So, when and where will we see Trump debate next?

There are really only four options:

a.)    On a stage with other Republican candidates in the coming months

b.)    When facing Joe Biden or another Democrat next fall

c.)    When competing for Cell Block C inmate representative

d.)    Never

Out of these four, the last option seems most likely.

There are many reasons for Trump not to debate. First of all, he isnt very good at it. In the past, he had some truly disastrous performances, which makes sense, because this format doesnt suit him.

Trump likes events where he is fully in charge. If he were to design a debate setting, then the audience would consist only of raucous MAGA supporters, the moderator would be deeply sympathetic to him, all questions would be very easy, there would be no fact-checking, and he would be allowed to ramble on uninterrupted for as long as he wants.

A good debate is none of these things, which is why he generally does poorly.

And while it made sense for him to be on stage with his rivals in 2015, when he was not the clear frontrunner, there is no strategic reason for him to debate other GOP candidates this year.

Trump is leading by so much that he has nothing to gain from participating. In fact, the opposite is the case.

If he doesnt show up or even holds rival events at the same time, ...

Israeli authorities inspect the remains of what the military said is a Syrian anti-aircraft rocket that exploded in the air, in the town of Rahat, Israel, 2 July 2023 (AP)

Suspected Israeli jets bombed sites in Syria early on Sunday and was met with an anti-aircraft missile which exploded in Israeli airspace, with shrapnel hitting areas in the southern city of Rahat. 

The Syrian army said that at around midnight it repelled an aerial attack from Israel on some sites in Homs, which caused material damage, according to the official Syrian news agency Sana. 

A retaliatory anti-aircraft missile was launched from Syria into Israel and exploded mid-air. Remnants of the rocket fell in Rahat city, causing minor damage to a building but no injuries.

In response, the Israeli military said it struck a Syrian air defence battery from where the missile was launched. 

It didn't comment on the earlier air strikes in Homs. The Syrian army did not confirm the second Israeli raid.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the Homs-area strikes targeted Hezbollah sites and ammunition depots.

A Simple Plan: "IndyWatch Feed World"

Barry Silbert Promotes Positive Changes for BTC

Barry Silbert is a well-known entrepreneur as well as investor who has made significant contributions to the world of cryptocurrency and also owns Gensis Trading and Grayscale investments. He tends also to be the founder and CEO of Foundry and Digital Currency Group, venture capital companies that specializes in funding businesses operating in the blockchain and digital currency sectors. Barry Silbert has become a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community over the years as his efforts have helped promote positive changes for BTC. This has made him to be a key figure in the development of a number of advantageous improvements in the sector. The following are some major efforts he has impacted in the Bitcoin sector of its growth and shaping it today.

The first one is founding of the Bitcoin Investment Trust. Silbert contributed greatly to the Bitcoin industry with this effort. It was such a great fund that was introduced in 2013 thereby helping investors be exposed to Bitcoin without having to buy as well as hold the digital currency themselves. This move helped legitimize Bitcoin as an investment asset and it helped pave the way for the development of other Bitcoin investment vehicles.

Silbert has also been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin regulation. He recognizes the need for governments to regulate the cryptocurrency industry to protect consumers and prevent fraud. Excessive regulation can as well stifle innovation and hinder this industry growth according to Barry. To better grasp the potential advantages of cryptocurrencies, Silbert has engaged with regulators. He has also assisted in developing regulations that encourage innovation while safeguarding customer interests.

The other major contribution is being a strong advocate for Bitcoin scaling solutions in addition to his work with regulators. Segregated Witness (SegWit) a scaling solution that expands the capacity of the Bitcoin network by segregating transaction data from signature data has been adopted with his backing. The capacity of the Bitcoin network has been boosted as a result of such expansion. This has been beneficial in the sense that it has assisted resolve some of the scalability challenges that Bitcoin has encountered.

Silbert has also been a strong proponent of Bitcoin as a store of value. He thinks that the restricted supply and decentralized features of Bitcoin make it a compelling alternative to established reserves of value like gold. Flat currencies are intrinsically prone to inflation and manipulable by the governme...

EU agrees to 'de-risk' from China, has yet to agree what that will entail "IndyWatch Feed World"

European Union leaders committed on Friday to reducing the bloc's dependence on China and debated how to strike a balance between "de-risking" and cooperating in areas such as climate change. Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins said finding the right stance was "the million euro question", adding the de-risking strategy followed the EU's painful lesson from reliance on Russian gas, which Moscow cut after its invasion of Ukraine. "What it basically says is (to) assess are we overly dependent in some way on China in trade and how to reduce so that if something changes drastically in the world we're not left high and dry," he said before Friday's EU summit session.

Jeremiah Okorodudu, Please Forgive Nigeria "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Jeremiah-Okorodudu...

By Segun Odegbami

LAGOS JULY 3RD (URHOBOTODAY)-It is a sad day and a sadder period for sports in Nigeria.

A few days ago, Jeremiah Okorodudu, a famous Nigerian boxer, probably the most flamboyant and loquacious boxer in the countrys boxing history, died in a private hospital in the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria.

He was only 64 years of age.

His death attracts special attention. It followed a mostly silent, two-year battle with poor health described by some media reports as the product of Stroke and Diabetes. In the past two weeks, the public was drawn to Jerrys plight through social media. Pictures of him lying on a bed in a local hospital in Ikorodu, Lagos, with headlines screaming for help for the celebrated former athlete, were very pitiable, a sad commentary on the general life-after-sport of many national sports heroes.

There was also a video of Jeremiah gasping, struggling to speak through obvious pain, inaudible mumbling through laboured breath. He was shown crying and appealing to the government and to Nigerians not to let him die, like that.

All that he needed at the time were about the equivalent of $2000 to pay for an essential life-saving surgery amputation of his foot. This meagre amount was change-money, even for any one of those in the corridors of sports at different levels of government, particularly. Obviously, the era of sports administrators that spent their personal funds to support sports and athletes is a long way back in the dungeons of history.

These days, sport is a sector to be milked of any sweet harvests. Thats why there is a fight to the finish in the scramble for positions of leadership in sports by those with the least stakes in sport.

Jeremiah Okorodudu needed that paltry sum to save his life. His family could not raise it till he died despite appeals to the public. His painful death reminds me that there is a whole legion in Jerrys shoes languishing around the country waiting for help that may not come quickly.

There are: Ngozika Ekwelum, African boxing champion, in his lonely bed in Anambra, suffering for over a decade with a case of urinary incontinence and other depression-related issues that have made his life miserable; Kenneth Aban...

Down in Jungleland "IndyWatch Feed War"

John Patterson The Unz Review June 30, 2023

James Lancia, Downtown White Police: Demonizing the Alpha Cop, Glorifying Thugs, and Militarizing Law Enforcement, CreateSpace, 2015, 182 pages, $15.95 paperback, $9.99 Kindle.

James Lancia is a retired police officer from Bridgeport, Connecticut, with indisputable credibility as an experienced alpha cop. In the 1980s, when Mr. Lancia patrolled the citys streets, Bridgeport was in the middle of a crack epidemic and had one of the highest per capita overall crime rates in the United States. One of the Bridgeports worst areas was the notorious Father Panik Village, occupied largely by blacks and at that time Americas most dangerous housing project.

In Downtown White Police, Mr. Lancia describes what patrolling this blighted and violent area was like for a white officer. He treats the reader to many riveting police stories that require no embellishment. He describes in detail the sights, sounds, and smells, and offers a glimpse into the violence, fear, and degeneracy of life in majority-black projects. Mr. Lancia discusses topics that only a true street cop could understand and only a retired one would dare broach.

The book begins in 1978 when Mr. Lancia enters the police academy at the age of 18. The son of Italian immigrants, he had planned to enlist in the Marine Corps but chose law enforcement after scoring highly on the police officers written examination. He was immediately thrust into the violent fray as a rookie officer working unpredictable and dangerous housing projects, including Father Panik Village.

In Chapter 1, the author explains the books title and why he sets Downtown White Police off with quotation marks. The city police, most of whom were white, were based at the Downtown Headquarters. The Housing Authority police, which shared jurisdiction over the projects, were almost entirely black. Once, while responding to a call from Father Panik Village, Mr. Lancia overheard a black youth telling a friend, Dey the downtown white police! The name stuck.

The book describes the every-day violence of the projects. A particularly disturbing story details how a...

Meanwhile in Other News Ukraine Proxy War Is an Unmitigated Disaster for U.S./NATO "IndyWatch Feed War"

Strategic Culture.org June 30, 2023

The Ukraine proxy war against Russia can be increasingly seen as a disastrous defeat for the United States and NATO. That stunning outcome should be making world headlines. Instead, the Western media spin machine is in overdrive about a failed mutiny in Russia, which on an objective scale of important events is relatively minor compared with the colossal U.S./NATO scandal.

A month-long Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed to make any dent in Russias defenses despite billions of dollars and euros in weaponry funnelled to the Kiev regime by the NATO bloc. That is a veritably astounding calamity and scandal. The completely unnecessary death and destruction are obscene akin to World War One slaughtering by callous armchair generals and politicians.

Even Western officials and the corrupt money-grubbing Kiev regime are coyly admitting that the much-vaunted counteroffensive that had been hailed for months as an expected hammer blow against Russian forces is a failure. Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers as well as NATO special forces covertly on the ground have been killed. Hundreds of tanks and infantry vehicles have been pulverized by superior Russian firepower.

It is a slaughter and orgy of war racketeering that American and European political elites, along with their media servants, have endlessly promoted.

There will be hell to pay for the American and European rulers who have staked everything on their nefarious ambition for the strategic defeat of Russia (under the specious guise of defending democracy in a Nazi regime!)

The political consequences for U.S. President Joe Biden will make his Afghanistan withdrawal debacle in 2021 look like a picnic as presidential elections loom next year.

As for the European Union, whose leaders have slavishly followed Washingtons folly in Ukraine, the repercussions of economic and political chaos will fatally undermine this already teetering entity.

Ultimately, theres no getting away from the impending seismic geopolitical crisis, no matter how much the Western elitist mis-rulers twist and squirm to avoid accountability.

The tumult from the Prigozhin affair in Russia over the last week, which saw a mutiny attempt by the chief of the Wagner private military company, came at a convenient time for the U.S. and EU. It momentarily distracted from the unmitigated disaster that Washington and its NATO allies have created in Ukraine. But as the Prigozhin charade dissipates, the focus will rightly turn to the far bigger scandal of Western-led defeat in Ukraine.

Who will answer for the countless lives lost, the millions of displaced, and the American and European economies and livelihoods thrown into disarray? All of the Western so-called leaders, as well as the shameless war-propagandizing media outlets, are a rogues gallery that will face searing scrutiny...

U.S. poised to give Ukraine controversial cluster bombs "IndyWatch Feed War"

Karen DeYoung, Missy Ryan and Alex Horton Washington Post July 1, 2023

Confronted with a worrying shortage of artillery ammunition, a counteroffensive that has been slow to launch and increasingly desperate appeals from Kyiv for more weaponry, the Biden administration is facing an imminent decision over whether to supply Ukraine with controversial cluster bombs.

We have been thinking about DPICM for a long time, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday at the National Press Club, referring to dual-purpose improved conventional munitions. Yes, of course theres a decision-making process ongoing.

Senior administration and defense officials have in recent weeks contacted Capitol Hill and allies long opposed to the use of cluster munitions to make the case that they are needed on the Ukraine battlefield and to provide assurances on how they would be used. Deputy national security adviser Jon Finer made calls to lawmakers to gauge the comfort level on the issue, according to people familiar with the conversations, though they were told that a final decision had not yet been made.

The United States concluded months ago that cluster weapons could be an effective tool against advancing Russian troops and Wagner Group mercenaries, according to a January intelligence assessment that was among a trove of leaked classified documents obtained by The Washington Post. The assessment came amid the brutal months-long battle for the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces found that the Russians tended to mass before an assault, rendering them vulnerable to cluster munitions, shells that contain dozens or even hundreds of smaller bombs that are dispersed over an area. The weapons likely would increase the [Ukrainian militarys] effectiveness against assault waves because one cluster munition exhibits the same lethality as 10 155mm artillery rounds against grouped infantry, the top-secret document said, referring to the ammunition used by howitzers that the United States has provided to Ukraine and that is now in short supply.

At that time, President Biden was opposed. According to our own policy, we have concerns about the use of those kinds of munitions, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in December in response to questions about Kyivs requests for the weapons.

The White House is now reviewing its position, according to several U.S. officials who, like others in this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive issue. Weve always said our security assistance would evolve as battlefield conditions have evolved, and that continues to be the case, one official said. In recent weeks, weve seen an increasing need for cluster munitions that could help...

Dr. Mike Yeadon: A Catastrophic Drop in Birth Rates in Countries With High Coverage of mRNA Vaccines Amongst People of Fertile Age "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Lioness of Judah Substack.com July 1, 2023

By Dr. Michael Yeadon July 1, 2023

The following came from a prolonged exchange with a thoughtful scientist (who understandably doesnt wish to be identified).

Best wishes,

Mike

There has been a catastrophic drop in birth rates in most if not all countries with a high coverage of mRNA vaccines amongst people of fertile age. This article describes the drop in birth rates in Sweden that coincided with the rollout of the mRNA shots.

The Link Between the Massive Drop in Birth Rates and mRNA Vaccines is Undeniable

It is unknown what the effect will be going forwards and if the potential effects of mRNA vaccines on birth rate and fertility are temporary, or long lasting. Also the effect on children that have been vaccinated and if this will affect their ability to have children in the future is completely unknown.

The WHO and other globalist health organisations have long been seeking a contraceptive vaccine to reduce fertility and manage the global population. For example, here is a report from a WHO-led meeting 1992 on the status of fertility regulating vaccines.

Fertility Regulating Vaccines

 

This report goes into great detail about vaccines targeting human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and human trials to test this. However, as described in the documentary Infertility a diabolical agenda, little did we know that the WHO, later in conjunction with The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, conducted live trials on African girls without their knowledge, by hiding hCG in tetanus vaccines rendering the girls that received them infertile.

Makow- I condemn Brother Nathaniel for this racist drivel. Most Jews are assimilated. They are stupid and cowardly like their Gentile counterparts. But they are not inherently evil nor do they celebrate Jesus crucifixion.  

(Children, would you like to buy some candy? The Jewish Pedophile)

The issue is the Jewish supremacist agenda which is imposed top-down by the Cabalist (Masonic) Jewish bankers i.e. the WEF.  Most Jews do not know about it or subscribe to it. Nathaniel is just helping the Jewish supremacists by allowing them to ascribe legitimate resistance to racism. I urge Gentiles to focus their antisemitism on the Jews who are actually instrumental in their enslavement, sickness, impoverishment, and deaths. i.e. the WEF, the Biden admin, CDC; as well as on Masonic traitors (the UN, WHO, IMF, and other globalist institutions.)

Brother Nathaniel disproves his own thesis.  He is a good Jew.

Horrifying: Memorial Honoring Victims Of Holocaust Vandalized By Rioters: Report "IndyWatch Feed War"

Leif Le Mahieu Daily Wire June 30, 2023

A memorial in France honoring those who were deported from the country by the Nazis during World War II was reportedly vandalized this week by rioters protesting the police shooting of a 17-year-old boy on Tuesday.

The vandalism targeted the Memorial to the Martyrs of the Deportation, a monument erected in 1962 in a Paris suburb remembering the roughly 200,000 people who were deported from France to Nazi Germany during World War II. This would include Jews who would become victims of the Holocaust, Gypsies, and French workers who were sent to labor camps.

It is truly horrifying to witness the Memorial to the Martyrs of the Deportation in Nanterre being vandalized, the European Jewish Congress said in a statement. This shameful act of disrespect for the memory of the victims of the Holocaust must be unequivocally condemned and those responsible held accountable.

Like Father, Like Son: Sheriff Continues On Okowas Path Of Reckless Borrowing "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

OKOWA AND OBOREVWO 2RI

By Grade one  Clark

LAGOS JULY 3RD (URHOBOTODAY)-Like father like son is a common cliche used to stereotype the despicable conduct of those that run foul of societal norms. If a father is a habitual offender, and a son follows in his footsteps, society take swipes at him, for being a copy of his progenitor.  As we speak, Sheriff Oborevwori, the governor of Delta State, is marching seemingly on the same calamitous path of his godfather, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa. 

The ex emperor of Delta State was the acclaimed champion borrower of his time. He left the finances of the state in total ruins before handing over to his alter ego and puppet, Sheriff Oborevwori. At the time of Dr. Okowas departure, the state debts stood at over N900 Billion.

Gov. Sheriff has so far shunned prudence and financial restraint. He has like his mentor hoisted a borrowing flag on the state. Barely a month after inauguration and yet to settle down, he got an approval from the State House of Assembly to borrow N40 Billion, with the lame excuse of sourcing funds to settle pension arrear of state retirees.

In the last months to Okowas exit, he borrowed over N300 billion, aside this, he was accused of diverting N250 billion of the state 13% derivation money to his personal use. But his parrot and mouth piece, Charles Aniagwu and the then former Finance Commissioner, Fidelis Tilije, regaled Deltans with cock and bull tales, of Okowa settling state pensioners with part of the derivation funds received.

The state pension arrears has become a recurring decimal. Does infant Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori need a whooping N40 Billion to settle pensioners entitlement? Not really! Delta State must have the highest number of pensioners in Nigeria. And how many times would the same pensioners entitlement be paid, if truly they were settled as Okowas aides claimed?

What happened to the FAAC allocation, the share of 13% derivation fund and IGR, that the state receives monthly, which is in the range of N40 Billion? The state doesnt need to borrow to settle pensioners. It can set aside specific sum every month for the purpose. Delta receives the highest allocation after Lagos State, yet it is perpetually borrowing and now overwhelmed with debts.

If there is a standard for measuring development, the transforma...

Ibori; $15m Bribery Allegation And Obasanjos Narratives "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

IBORI AND OBASANJO

LAGOS JULY 1ST (URHOBOTODAY)-As recently as June 16th this year, Daily Trust reported that Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again opened up on his controversial third term bid, saying some state governors also wanted tenure extension. In an interview with Chude Jideonwo. Obasanjo had severally denied plans to seek extension of his stay in office beyond 2007, but blamed some governors as the brains behind the third term agenda.

That was the quintessential Obasanjo! The Third-Term plot started in 2001 (yes, during Obasanjos first term). It was so thick that in my14-page (two pages daily) Special Series appraisal on Obasanjos first term for Daily Independent stable, I reported in the final offering on the last Sunday in May 2004 that a plot was on to elongate Obasanjos stay as President, and that it will fail. Yet, even in June 2023, despite the disclosures from many others, including National Legislators and top officials in that administration, such as Nasir el-Rufai, Obasanjo is still denying the obvious.

With the paragraph above in mind, we now come to Obasanjos sermon about Ibori concerning the false story that Ibori attempted to bribe Ribadu with all of $15m. The Urhobo Times of 18 June 2023 reported: In response to accusations of being vengeful against him by the late former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, and Ibori, Obasanjo said: Ibori was found to have misused about $200 million after an investigation by the EFCC and Obasanjo said to him Go and give the EFCC $150 million assuming you have already spent $50 million. When he returned, he asked, Where should we put it? I told you to pay the money to your state since it is yours. How do I accomplish that, he asked? I opened a Central Bank account for him.

Afterwards, he returned and advised me to open Central Bank accounts for each state if he just deposited funds into the Delta-related account at the Central Bank. Which I did. Said Obasanjo.

When Nuhu Ribadu arrived, I told him to deposit the $15 million in cash in their account at the Central Bank because he believed he was being cunning. We kept looking at it after that. He was so hunted down and taken to London, where he was put in jail. Therefore, if that was revenge, I would encourage more revenge in Nigeria.

Commentary by Greg Hunter:

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was forecasting chaos in 2023, and thats exactly what we got.  His cycle work says dont look for it to get better anytime soon.  Armstrong explains, We are in the midst of a coup.  We have all these people who have been neocons for 30 years.  Even Ron Paul said recently that the neocons have been waging war for 30 years and have not won a one single one.  This is what they live for.  Look at the clip of Lindsey Graham saying this is the best money we ever spent killing Russians.  How can you take pleasure in that statement that this is the best money we ever spent killing Russians.  This is not defense.  These are the words of a psychopath in my mind. . . . They are not about to accept anybody who is going to be against war.  The neocons are in full control of the governmentperiod.  We are living in the time of a coup.  The United States is not the free country you thought it was. . . .

Armstrong also predicts that the neocons will rig the 2024 election so Biden (or some other neocon) gets a second term.  Is there any way to stop this election rigging and fraud in 2024?  Armstrong says, I dont believe so.  Our computers show that holy hell breaks loose starting in 2025.  I think the problem will be the cheating will be in everybodys face this time.

Armstrong also says the neocons will try to start a war before the 2024 election so Biden will win because a wartime president has never lost an election.  Armstrong says the cheating will be necessary because the real poll numbers for Biden are in the single digits and not the 40% approval ratings the Lying Legacy Media tells you.  Armstrong contends Bidens approval number is still stuck at 9.5% with his deadly accurate Socrates computer program, but the big reason for Biden and his crew to worry is the real inflation number.  Armstrong says, Inflation is subsiding a little bit, but it is basically still over 26%.

Armstrong says Bidens approval numbers are so low and inflation is so high that they have to have war with Russia.  War is the reason they had to remove Trump out of the White House because Trump was against constant war.  Armstrong adds, No way they are going to allow a free election.  It you think the CIA cannot rig the vote, I dont know what planet you live on.

Justice for Nahel : The Roots of the Uprising in France "IndyWatch Feed War"

The following text was sent to us by French comrades on the third day of unrest following the murder of the teenager Nahel Merzouk by French police in the city of Nanterre, a suburb of Paris. It provides an analysis of the situation and an overview of the fight against police brutality in France starting in the 1970s.

Today, this movement is facing intense repression in the streets, the media, and the courts. As of now, at least three people have been killed in addition to Nahel. Rather than focus on the deployment of specialized military police across the country, we prefer to begin with the efforts of the young people who are risking their lives to stand up for Nahel and for themselves.

In the streets, many people say that the feelings of rage and the intensity of the fight is reminiscent of the riots of 2005. Just as those riots took place following the student movement of 2005, this veritable uprising has followed the powerful movement against the pension reform imposed by President Emmanuel Macron, which faced unprecedented repression in the spring. Despite tremendous allocations of resources and veritable legal impunity, police in France appear to be losing both their perceived legitimacy and their ability to intimidate large sectors of the public into passivity.


Justice for Nahel

On June 27, 2023, Nahel Merzouk, age 17, was driving a car in Nanterre when motorcycle police stopped him for a roadside check, then murdered him in cold blood. As one of the passengers later described, one officer threatened Nahel, Dont move or Ill put a bullet in your head. Then both officers struck him through the open window of the car. Stunned by the blows, Nahel accidentally released the brake and hit the accelerator, upon which one officer shot and killed him. We know all of this because almost the entire scene was filmed.

The video of Nahels murder quickly went viral on social media outlets, which have played a key role in the ensuing unrest. People swiftly reacted in the streets.

Starting that first night, June 27, violent clashes broke out in predominantly immigrant neighborhoods in Nanterre and other suburbs of Paris (Mantes-la-Jolie...

Mosquitoes, Vaccines and Bill Gates "IndyWatch Feed War"

BY TOM RENZ | JULY 1, 2023

Let me begin this article with an AP Fact Check. According to the AP (A Bill Gates-tied mosquito project is not responsible for recent US malaria cases | AP News) the cases of malaria that have recently popped up in the United States were NOT related to Bill Gates, his funding of mosquito research related disease prevention (Gates-Funded World Mosquito Program Engages in Gain-of-Function Research The American Spectator USA News and Politics), or Oxitecs (another Gates supported company) release of genetically modified mosquitoes for the past several years in Florida where the outbreaks occurred (see the previous two articles). The AP has noted that the Gates foundation does fund malaria work and GMO mosquitoes but states its funding for Oxitecs genetically altered mosquitoes that are being released in Florida (where those mosquitoes are released) does not include any modifications related to malaria and so they could not be the cause.

The AP really did its homework here and also requested comment from Oxitec and noted they said it was scientifically impossible that they had anything to do with this coincidence. Apparently the gene editing in the Oxitec mosquitoes (that Gates has nothing to do with) is about fighting Dengue fever and Zika virus and they also only release male genetically altered mosquitoes so clearly none of this could have anything to do with the mosquitoes being worked on elsewhere that vaccinate against malaria (though these mosquitoes do exist as you can see in this story from NPR  Why mosquitoes were the vaccinators in a new malaria vaccine trial : Goats and Soda : NPR). Just in case anyone has any further doubts, the AP even talked to an entomologist at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory at the University of Florida and he said that the Oxitec mosquitoes have nothing at all to do with malaria, and its absurd to claim otherwise.

Now that you are all aware of Bill Gates and his support for genetically altered mosquitoes to fight disease, and the malaria vaccine mosquitoes, I want to share a few important points.

First did you know that they have developed a mechanism to vaccinate people through mosquitoes? As no...

German government to begin systematic surveillance of RSV "IndyWatch Feed War"

so that public health authorities can identify outbreaks and implement measures to prevent spread

eugyppius: a plague chronicle | July 1, 2023

The Scholz government plans to direct German public health authorities to begin systematic monitoring of RSV, the respiratory syncytial virus, which can cause serious symptoms in young children but is little more than a cold for healthy adults:

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will very soon be made subject to mandatory reporting requirements. Doctors and laboratories will have to report infected patients by name to health authorities

Up to now, there has been no obligation to report RSV in Germany, with the exception of the federal state of Saxony

The stated reason is that RSV has caused a high rate of illness in children the past two seasons and placed a serious burden on paediatric clinics nationwide. The RSV outbreak in autumn 2022 has made it clear that an improvement in data collection is needed for early detection and avoiding an overload of the health system.

The planned reporting requirements will not only improve the collection of epidemiological data, but also enable public health authorities to carry out targeted early investigations and implement on-site measures to limit an outbreak and prevent further spread.

My emphasis.

[The] coalition governments believes that several RSV vaccines will be approved in Germany in the foreseeable future. The additional data gleaned from reporting requirements would assist in the evaluation of vaccines and the design of vaccination strategies.

Let us get this straight: The virus pests imposed harmful and destructive hygiene measures on the greater part of the developed world for years, which failed to do anything much about SARS-2, but apparently limited exposure to many common viruses like RSV. After population immunity to these old endemic viruses had substantially waned due to these wrongheaded policies, we reopened, leaving these heretofore mostly harmless pathogens to tear through the respiratory tracts of young children with new fury. The virus pests, having failed in the most spectacular way possible, now hope to turn the minor disaster they caused into an occasion for future restrictions and impositions in daily life.

Note also the insidious role of the vaccinators. As soon is there is a jab for any virus, the pressure to begin counting that virus begins, thereby making a problem where nobody ever noticed one...

Study Finds Xanax, Valium Associated With Brain Injury, Suicide "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Tyler Durden | Zero Hedge | July 1, 2023

About 30 million Americans are taking benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin- about 12.5% of the adult population. Doctors and psychiatrists have prescribed these drugs for decades to treat anxiety. But a new study reveals benzodiazepine usage and discontinuing usage can create nervous system injury and negative life effects.

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus said as patients enter the discontinuation phase of Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin, they face significant withdrawal symptoms.

Despite the fact that benzodiazepines have been widely prescribed for decades, this survey presents significant new evidence that a subset of patients experiences long-term neurological complications, said Alexis Ritvo, M.D, M.P.H., an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and medical director of the nonprofit Alliance for Benzodiazepine Best Practices. She said the medical community must reevaluate how it prescribes benzodiazepines.

The study was a collaborative effort between CU Anschutz, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and several drug advocacy that specializes in raising awareness of benzodiazepine harms.

Patients have been reporting long-term effects from benzodiazepines for over 60 years. I am one of those patients. Even though I took my medication as prescribed, I still experience symptoms on a daily basis at four years off benzodiazepines. Our survey and the new term BIND (benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction) give a voice to the patient experience and point to the need for further investigations, said Christy Huff, MD, one of the papers coauthors and a cardiologist and director of Benzodiazepine Information Coalition.

About 76.6% of the respondents had long-lasting symptoms after discounting the use of benzodiazepines. Almost half of the respondents had these ten symptoms for more than a year:

  1. low energy
  2. difficulty focusing
  3.  memory loss
  4. anxiety
  5. insomnia
  6. sensitivity to light and sounds
  7. digestive problems
  8. symptoms triggered by food and drink
  9. muscle weakness
  10.  body pain

The most alarming part of the study was the symptoms listed above were new and distinct and werent experienced before respondents used Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. Many respondents reported damaged relationships, job loss, and increased medical costs. Also, 54.4% of the responde...

Three Typhoon Jets Landed Next to Thermometer When Britains Record Temperature of 40.3C Was Recorded "IndyWatch Feed War"

BY CHRIS MORRISON AND IAN RONS | THE DAILY SCEPTIC | JUNE 28, 2023

At least three Typhoon fighter jets were landing at RAF Coningsby around the time when the brief U.K. temperature record was declared at 15:12 on July 19th last year from a measuring device situated halfway down the runway. Following a Freedom of Information request, the Daily Sceptic has obtained portions of the log books of four pilots flying from the base that afternoon, casting considerable doubt on the record that made headlines around the world.

The pilots log books record three of the four Typhoons landing at 15:10, 15:15 and 15:15. However, since these log books round off all times to the nearest five minutes, we can interpret this to mean the three jets landed between about 15:07:30 to 15:17:30 at the latest. But pilots want to rack up the most possible flying hours, so a landing at 15:12:30 would be written down as 15:15 and not 15:10, and there is always wiggle room.

In reality, its likely that the three jets actually landed in very quick succession, rather than over the space of several minutes. Many videos are available online showing operations at Coningsby, with Typhoons flying (and landing) close to each other, and a very recent video shows three jets landing within 30 seconds. The lead jet of the three landing on July 19th was ZJ914 the RAFs primary display aircraft suggesting the others were experienced pilots who may well have landed in close formation. Taken in context with the log books, this points to the three aircraft landing together at some point very close to when the record was set at 15:12, and likely a little before.

At 15:10, the temperature suddenly jumped by 0.6C to hit the 40.3C record at 15.12. Within 60 seconds, the record temperature dropped back by 0.6C. At the time, the Met Office claimed that verifying the record had been a rigorous process and that all data was accurate.

The Daily Sceptic has published a number of articles about the Coningsby incident and the general recording of surface temperatures by the Met Office. Last November, we asked the Met Office if its rigorous process confirming the validity of the 40.3C record had ruled out all non-climatic causes such as jet aircraft operating near the measuring device, since RAF Coningsby is a major jet pilot training centre and home to two squadrons of Typhoons. We received no reply. Ear...

Poverty is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Back in February, I wrote a post describing how the US government kills people with policy to benefit the capitalist class. Its a good post, and you should check it out if you havent. The basic premise, for those who just want a refresher, is that the government actively creates and maintains poverty, as a way of keeping the population desperate enough to take any job they can get, and to undermine any efforts at using organized labor power to actually push through leftist policies. The USian aristocracy was traumatized by the New Deal, and theyve spent the generations since then reshaping society to prevent the workers from rising up like that ever again.

I would imagine, however, that some folks whore a bit more conservative than me might find my claim that the government kills for capital to be a bit sensationalistic. They might accept that something like raising interest rates will cause people to lose their jobs, but this is America, right? Surely people arent actually dying from poverty! Right?

Unfortunately not.

A University of California, Riverside, (UCR) paper published Monday, April 17, in the Journal of the American Medical Association associated poverty with an estimated 183,000 deaths in the United States in 2019 among people 15 years and older.

This estimate is considered conservative because the data is from the year just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused spikes in deaths worldwide and continues to take its toll.

The analysis found that only heart disease, cancer, and smoking were associated with a greater number of deaths than poverty. Obesity, diabetes, drug overdoses, suicides, firearms, and homicides, among other common causes of death, were less lethal than poverty.

Poverty kills as much as dementia, accidents, stroke, Alzheimers, and diabetes, said David Brady, the studys lead author and a UCR professor of public policy. Poverty silently killed 10 times as many people as all the homicides in 2019. And yet, homicide firearms and suicide get vastly more attention.

Another finding is that people living in poverty those with incomes less than 50% of the U.S. median income have roughly the same survival rates until they hit their 40s, after whi...

France Braced for Fifth Night of Rebellions as Family Buries Nahel

By Benoit Van Overstraeten and Horaci Garcia

July 1, 20234:00 PM EDT

PARIS, July 1 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of police were deployed in cities across France on Saturday ready for a potential fifth night of rioting after the funeral of a teenager of North African descent, whose shooting by police sparked nationwide unrest.

President Emmanuel Macron postponed a state visit to Germany that was due to begin on Sunday to handle the worst crisis for his leadership since the "Yellow Vest" protests paralysed much of France in late 2018.

Some 45,000 police would again be on the street into Saturday night, interior minister Gerald Darmanin said, with reinforcements going to Lyon and Marseille.

Police deployed tear gas against rioters in Marseille's main high street around dusk on Saturday, according to a witness.

In Paris police cleared protesters from the Place de la Concorde and increased security at the city's landmark Champs Elysees avenue after a call on social media to gather there. TV images showed shop facades covered with boards to prevent potential damage.

The interior ministry said 1,311 people had been arrested on Friday night, compared with 875 the previous night, although it described the violence as "lower in intensity".

Finance minister Bruno Le Maire said more than 700 shops supermarkets, restaurants and bank branches had been "ransacked, looted and sometimes even burnt to the ground since Tuesday".

Local authorities all over the country announced bans on demonstrations and ordered public transport to stop running in the evening.

Nahel, a 17-year-old of Algerian and Moroccan parents, was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop on Tuesday in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

For the funeral, several hundred people lined up to enter Nanterre's grand mosque, which was guarded by volunteers in yellow vests, while a few dozen bystanders watched from across the street.

This morning, I discovered that my Twitter account is rate-limited. Actually, everyones account is rate-limited.

So Im only allowed to read 600 tweets per day. What that means in practical terms, since I follow about 800 people, when I first log in Twitter will access all the tweets made by those people overnight, and thenIve reached my limit within minutes, and Im done. Thats all it takes, Twitter is over for me before I take my first sip of coffee.

I pity all those people who are paying $8 a month to get privileged access now nobody is going to read their prioritized tweets, except other blue check users, and even then, only until they finish their breakfast, and then theyll be done, too.

Sudan's Deputy Head ofthe Sovereign Council Malik Agar shakes hand with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on June 29, 2023

June 29, 2023 (MOSCOW) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed his concern over the situation in Sudan and emphasized Russias willingness to contribute to ending the ongoing conflict and stabilize the country.

Lavrov made his remarks during a meeting with the visiting Deputy Head of the Sovereign Council, Malik Agar, in Moscow on Thursday.

Agar and Lavrov discussed ways to address the ongoing crisis in Sudan and explore potential solutions to alleviate the 10-week-long armed conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.

In video footage taken during the meeting, the top Russian diplomat expressed his countrys concern about the situation in Sudan and added that they are interested in helping normalize it.

Russia is watching with concern what is happening in Sudan and is interested in helping to create the conditions for normalizing the situation. We contact all concerned parties through our embassy, which remains in Khartoum. It is of special importance for us today to hear your assessments of the situation, the minister said.

He further welcomed Agars arrival in Moscow, stating it was a very timely visit. We would appreciate recommendations on how Russia and other members of the international community could contribute to overcoming the crisis. We will take this opportunity to review our bilateral cooperation and chart the way forward. We will also exchange views on the situation in some of your neighbouring countries, the minister said.

The recent mutiny of the Wagner mercenary force was widely perceived as similar to the situation in Sudan, where the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been fighting against the national army after a difference in their integration since April 15.

Botswana Signs New Diamond Sales Deal with De Beers

A 102.34, carat, D colour and flawless white diamond held by a model is displayed at Sotheby's auction house in London, Thursday, Feb. 8, 2018

Africa News

Botswana and mining company De Beers have announced a new diamond sales deal. 

The new deal, concluded on Friday, gives Botswana a bigger share of rough stones from their joint venture.

Debswana, a joint venture between Anglo American unit De Beers and Botswana's government, sells 75% of its output to De Beers, with the balance taken up by state-owned Okavango Diamond Co.

The new agreement covers a 10-year sales deal for Debswana rough diamond production through to 2033 and 25-year Debswana mining licences.

In the run-up to Friday's deal, Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who is expected to seek re-election next year, had pushed De Beers for a bigger share of Debswana's output.

In March, Botswana announced it would take a 24% stake in Belgian gem processing firm HB Antwerp in a move seen as designed to loosen De Beers' grip on the country's gems.

Uganda Activists File New Paris Case Over TotalEnergies East Africa Oil Pipeline Project

BY RODNEY MUHUMUZA

1:39 PM EDT, June 27, 2023

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) Ugandan activists brought another legal case Tuesday against French oil giant TotalEnergies, seeking damages over alleged food and land rights violations in the companys East Africa operations.

The civil suit filed in Paris comes four months after the collapse of a similar case brought by activists who wanted to stop TotalEnergies pipeline project in Uganda and Tanzania, alleging environmental risks and an infringement of rights.

Campaigners who oppose a project they insist violates the Paris climate accord were disappointed when the case was dismissed on procedural grounds before going to trial.

The new litigation cites TotalEnergies alleged failure to comply with Frances duty of vigilance law and seeks compensation for the companys alleged violations of land and food rights over six years.

TotalEnergies has long denied the allegations.

Five French and and Ugandan civic groups, including the French branch of Friends of the Earth and the Uganda-based Africa Institute for Energy Governance, or AFIEGO, are plaintiffs in the case.

Community challenges stemming from TotalEnergies projects include under-compensation as well as the construction of small, inappropriate replacement housing that is not suitable to the family sizes of affected households, said Dickens Kamugisha, AFIEGOs chief executive.

TotalEnergies is the majority shareholder in the 897-mile (1,443-kilometer) East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline, which would carry oil from wells in western Uganda to Tanzanias Indian Ocean port of Tanga. Authorities have described it as the worlds longest heated oil pipeline.

Some oil wells are to be drilled within western Ugandas Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River plummets 130 feet (40 meters) through a 20-foot-wide (6-meter-wide) gap and the surrounding wilderness is home to hippos, egrets, giraffes and antelopes.

UK Government Vows to Challenge Court Ruling that its Plan to Send Migrants to Rwanda is Unlawful

The scheme, agreed between the U.K. and Rwanda more than a year ago, was a key part of Prime Minister Rishi Sunaks pledge to stop the boats.

BY JILL LAWLESS

5:32 AM EDT, June 29, 2023

LONDON (AP) A British court ruled Thursday that a U.K. government plan to send asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda is unlawful, delivering a blow to the Conservative administrations pledge to stop migrants making risky journeys across the English Channel.

In a split two-to-one ruling, three Court of Appeal judges said Rwanda could not be considered a safe third country where migrants from any country could be sent.

But the judges said that a policy of deporting asylum seekers to another country deemed safe was not in itself illegal, and the government said it would challenge the ruling at the U.K. Supreme Court. It has until July 6 to lodge an appeal.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that while I respect the court I fundamentally disagree with their conclusions.

Sunak has pledged to stop the boats a reference to the overcrowded dinghies and other small craft that make the journey from northern France carrying migrants who hope to live in the U.K. More than 45,000 people arrived in Britain across the Channel in 2022, and several died in the attempt.

The U.K. and Rwandan governments agreed more than a year ago that some migrants who arrive in the U.K. as stowaways or in small boats would be sent to Rwanda, where their asylum claims would be processed. Those granted asylum would stay in the East African country rather than return to Britain.

The U.K. government argues that the policy will smash the business model of criminal gangs that ferry migrants on hazardous journeys across one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who is known for her hardline rhetoric about migrants, said after the ruling that the existing asylum system incentivizes mass flows of economic migration...

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, weve applied the following temporary limits: Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day New unverified accounts to 300/day

Considering that most social media companies want readers to say on as long as possible so they see more ads, this is not the way to recoup his $44 billion investment. I dont know if its a cover for a broken update, or he has no impulse control when it comes to Twitter. Honestly, I surprised it hasnt crashed and burned already.

'Mind-boggling' palm that flowers and fruits underground thrills scientists "IndyWatch Feed World"

New species named Pinanga subterranea as Kew botanists admit they have no idea how its flowers are pollinated A new-to-science palm species has been discovered in Borneo with the remarkable ability to flower and fruit underground. How the rare palm - named Pinanga subterranea - has survived is a mystery, as most plants have evolved to develop their flowers and fruit above ground to facilitate pollination and the dispersal of seeds. "Pinanga subterranea is the only known species of palm to flower and fruit below ground," said Dr Benedikt Kuhnhuser, a future leader fellow at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who was part of the research team that collected specimens and ascertained that it was a new species. "Flowering and fruiting below ground is mind-boggling and seemingly paradoxical because they appear to prevent pollination and dispersal. We now know bearded pigs eat and disperse Pinanga subterranea's fruits, but we've yet to find out how and by whom the flowers are pollinated."

Unseasonable rain continues to fall across Australia's north, helping lower temperatures to near-record levels "IndyWatch Feed World"

Unseasonable rain continues to fall across Australia's north in what's meant to be the region's dry season, helping lower temperatures to near-record levels. The surprise soaking is forecast to last at least another five days, gradually shifting from the Kimberley and Northern Territory this weekend, to Queensland and New South Wales next week. Here's what's going on. Why is it raining in the dry season? The cause of the rare winter rains can be traced back to two pools of cold polar air, which earlier this week moved north through WA and caused a dramatic change in the winds blowing over Australia. These rivers of winds are known as jet streams, which blow about 10 kilometres above the earth's surface and form the boundary between relatively warm and cold air.

I had gone there just to interview an aged ambassador at the israeli embassy about some occult stuff and the relationship between judaism and christianity.  He kept having health problems and fading in and out of consciousness.  His wife was there in even worse shape, practically a puppet like the Crypt-Keeper.  For some reason I was in better condition than IRL, younger and not bald.

I thought you might enjoy:

(Name redacted by me)

That is not unusual. I get emails from time to time from people who think I may be interested in something. I did not click on the links (I am wary about links being used to propagate viruses) but the wording of URLs seemed to indicate that they had something to do with Shakespeares (or the Bards) sonnets, which seemed reasonable since the email arrived the day after I had two posts about the controversy over the Bards authorship.

But while I was going through the rest of my emails, there was another one from the same person that arrived (with an attachment) just 40 minutes after the first and it had a decidedly unfriendly tone:

Mano,

See attached.  And try and show some integrity.

Best,

I was nonplussed as to why, in the space of 40 minutes, he had felt the need to make a gratuitous insinuation about my integrity.

But, wait! That is not all. While I was mulling over the strangeness of these emails, today I get another one with another attachment, where the hostility was raised all the way to 11.

Mano,

Clearly you are a fraud and a coward like all free thinkers.  

it appears virtually all of you are too stupid to recognize that the current understanding of the Sonnets was a guess and clearly a bad one.  

But wasted on morons like you no doubt. 

See attached.

Best,

Now I was intrigued. Clearly this person has some theory about the Sonnets and wants to create a wider awareness of it. That is fine. But why he does that in a way almost guaranteed to alienate the people he is trying to reach baffled me.

So I did a search on his name and found that I am not the only one to whom he has sent hostile missives. He seems to be quite prolific. For example, here is someone who writes about his interaction with him on Twitter. I also learned from another site that the sender of the emails is a believer in the Earl of Oxford being the Bard.

Conspiracy As Crisis Rocks Delta APC Over Scramble For Federal Slots "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

APC 4

LAGOS JULY 1ST (URHOBOTODAY)-The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is neck-deep in crisis following the outcome of the February 25 and March 18 general elections and the battle for federal appointments by stakeholders in the state.

Weeks after the 2023 general elections, peace has eluded the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Although the party had an impressive outing in the February 25 National Assembly election by winning two senatorial districts as against one it had, it recorded woeful performances in others.

The party won Delta Central and Delta South, as well as got victory in Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu federal constituencies.

However, in the presidential election, the APC came a distant third with 90,183 behind the Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The party also failed to displace the PDP in the governorship election in spite of scores of bigwigs and faithful from the ruling party and other opposition parties that allegedly joined its fold.

The candidate of the PDP, Sheriff Oborevwori, was declared winner of the governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with a total of 360,234 votes to defeat the APC candidate, Ovie Omo-Agege, the immediate past Senate deputy president, who scored 240,229 votes.

However, the APC secured 7 seats in the 29-member state House of assembly while the PDP claimed the rest.

No sooner the elections were decided than the party began to enmesh in a bitter crisis that is yet to be resolved.

A former director of projects in the interim board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Cairo Ojougboh, was expelled from the party over an allegation of anti-party activities. Ojuogboh, a former member of the House of Representatives, was shown the exit via a letter signed by Mr Hilary Fada Ibude, the party chairman in Ika South Local Government Area of the state.

Ibude said the expulsion followed a series of petitions arising from anti-party activities, which according to him, were inimical to the success of the party in the state.

Australia Ditched Moderna's COVID Vaccine for Kids Under 12 But Why? "IndyWatch Feed World"

The Australian federal government this month updated its website to state that Moderna's Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine is "no longer available" for children under 12 but there was no press release, no media coverage and no "dear doctor" letters. Miss a day, miss a lot. Subscribe to The Defender's Top News of the Day. It's free. This month, the Australian federal government updated its website to state that Moderna's Spikevax is "no longer available" for children under 12. It comes only three months after AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine was discontinued in Australia. (The original Comirnaty [Pfizer] vaccines remain available for use for children under 12 in Australia.) The updated website was inconspicuous; there was no press release, no media coverage, and no "dear doctor" letters. So, what triggered the move?

Stochastic war and Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed World"

American liberals of the communo-fascist bent are now fond of tagging 'white supremacists' (read: white people and political opponents 'deluded' by 'whiteness') with the blame for violence from the right (which is far outpaced by that from the left). Such violence is routinely called 'terrorism' - though it is not - and is furthermore extended to speech that is alleged to have 'caused' the violence. This perverse definition-stretching - so routine on the left so as to be ubiquitous - has produced the idea of so-called 'stochastic terrorism.' Stochastic terrorism is defined as "the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted" or more simply as "the incitement of a violent act through public demonization of a group or individual". Of course, it is impossible to prove when "public demonization of a person or group" has 'resulted in the incitement' of a violent act. And...

"Vladimir Putin is clearly losing the War in Iraq." Joe Biden, US President Russian Revolution Two kicked off the long, hot summer freak show of 2023.

It didn't propel Russia into a political paroxysm as perhaps expected by crisis engineers in Langley, VA, and Washington's Foggy Bottom. Rather, it energized the resolve of arch-nemesis Vlad Putin, solidified his support among the Russian populace (who turned out singing patriotic hymns along the Neva River when the revolt was quashed), and sunsetted the increasingly rogue Wagner private paramilitary company in its Ukraine duties, now to be taken over by regular Russian Federation army units.

Zelensky noted that "torrential rains... slowed down some processes quite a bit" and reiterated calls for Kiev's Western backers to continue sending arms to Ukraine. He also claimed that Ukraine's offensive operations conducted last autumn were undermined by the late arrival of artillery.

EU makes new attempt to seize frozen Russian money "IndyWatch Feed World"

The bloc is considering using interest generated from the funds to help rebuild Ukraine, Bloomberg reports... European Union leaders have been discussing plans to impose a windfall tax on profits generated by more than 200 billion ($217 billion) of frozen Russian central bank assets to aid Ukraine's reconstruction, according to Bloomberg. People familiar with the matter told the outlet that during a summit in Brussels on Thursday, the leaders decided to explore the option, despite a range of unresolved issues on how to use the sanctioned funds. The EU and its allies have frozen hundreds of billions of euros of Russian central bank holdings as part of its sanctions policy, which are expected to generate around 3 billion in interest. Over half of those assets are reportedly in cash and deposits, while a "substantial amount" of the remainder is in securities. The windfall option was the least problematic among other ideas explored, Bloomberg reported, adding however that there were...

Switzerland blocks sale of Leopard 1 tanks bound for Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed World"

Switzerland blocked arms maker Ruag AG from selling almost 100 tanks in a deal that would have seen them used by Ukraine in its war with Russia. The government said the request is "inconsistent with applicable law," noting that Switzerland is a neutral country which can't approve sales of arms bound for an active conflict zone. Ruag said it acknowledged the decision, but declined to comment further when contacted by Bloomberg. The rejection applies to 96 non-operational Leopard 1 tanks currently stored in Italy, which are property of Ruag. The proposal was for the vehicles to be refurbished in Germany and then sent to Ukraine. The announcement on Wednesday is unconnected to a separate sale of 25 Leopard 2 tanks of the Swiss army, which are supposed to go to German company Rheinmetall AG.

An archaeology of Nineteenth Century American expansion "IndyWatch Feed World"

Last week, context was added to Murray Rothbard's assertion in Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy that American foreign policy underwent an abrupt shift during the second Cleveland administration (1893-1897). I argued that American foreign policy from that period on, far from being a radical departure from what had come before, was the natural outgrowth or logical extension of previous expansionist policies. In this reading, the drive to conquer the best of the North American continent, having been declared officially settled in 1890, was simply turned abroad in a series of actions, confrontations, and conflicts over Hawaii (1893), Venezuela (1895), Cuba (1898), Samoa (1900), and dozens more. These apparently sudden, aggressive attempts to seize strategically important overseas territories, install friendly or client regimes, and intimidate rivals can be better understood by examining their antecedents, located in the 1840s and 1850s.

Israel backs down on threats to bomb Iranian nuclear sites "IndyWatch Feed War"

The Cradle | July 1, 2023

Israel is not planning to attack Irans nuclear sites, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus national security adviser said on 30 June, as indirect talks between Tehran and Washington regarding the nuclear issue have continued in recent weeks.

Asked whether an Israeli decision on a preemptive strike against Iran was any closer, Tzachi Hanegbi said:

We are not getting closer because the Iranians have stopped, for a while now, they are not enriching uranium to the level that, in our view, is the red line.

Hanegbi added: But it can happen. So we are preparing for the moment.

For several decades, Israel and the US have accused Iran of being weeks away from building a nuclear weapon. However, Iran says its nuclear industry is for peaceful purposes, including energy, and has stressed that Islam forbids pursuing weapons of mass destruction.

Hanegbi said it was still unclear what would come of the US-Iran talks. Still, he insisted that if an agreement is signed between Israels primary sponsor and main enemy during the indirect talks that began in Oman, this will not obligate Israel to abide by it.

Last week, Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting that Israel opposes any interim agreement between the US and Iran regarding the latters nuclear program.

Israel opposed the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and celebrated when Donald Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018.

The deal limited Iranian uranium enrichment to 3.67 percent. After the US withdrew from the agreement, Iran began enriching to 60 percent, which is still far from the 90 percent needed for use in a nuclear weapon.

We also tell [the US] that even mini agreements, in our opinion, do not serve our goals, and we oppose those as well, Netanyahu recently stated.

At the same time, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan reportedly accused Israeli officials of leaking information about the indirect US-Iran talks while complaining that the leaked information was inaccurate.

This included claims that the Biden administration seeks to reach an informal deal with Iran limiting its nuclear enrichment to bypass getting approval from Congress.

According to the New York Times, the US seeks an agreement that would include a pledge by Tehran not to enrich uranium beyond 60 percent purity, to better cooperate with UN nuclear inspectors, to stop attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria, to avoid providing Russia with ballistic missiles, and to release three Americ...

Trump-Appointed US Attorney Rejects Allegation of Whistleblower Retaliation "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

While David Weiss, the US attorney in Delaware who brought criminal charges against Hunter Biden, firmly rejected assertions that the investigation was impeded, he gave House Republicans what they are looking for: enough ambiguity to continue their desired narrative.

In a letter he sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) Friday, Weiss pushed back against the claims of two whistleblowers, who said they were retaliated against for pointing out irregularities in the Hunter Biden investigation.

[The] Department of Justice did not retaliate against an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent and whistleblower, as well as his entire investigative team for making protected disclosures to Congress, Weiss, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, wrote.

Noting that the whistleblowers allegations relate to a criminal investigation that is now being prosecuted in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Weiss stated that he is required to protect confidential law enforcement information and deliberative communications related to the case.

That will suit Republican investigators just fine since they can pretend that their investigation is being stonewalled.

Last week, special supervisory agent Gary Shapley testified that the investigation into President Joe Bidens son had been slow-walked.

Shapley suggested that the probe had been influenced by politics.

But whatever the motivations, at every stage, decisions were made that had the effect of benefiting the subject of the investigation, he testified, adding that these decisions not allowing enforcement actions to be executed and limiting investigators line of questioning for witnesses.

In his letter, Weiss also emphasized that he stood by a statement he had made in a previous letter on June 7, where he told the committee that he has been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when and whether to file charg...

Resistencia y horror "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

No existe prisin que pueda amedrentar al director iran Jafar Panahi, un artista que desde hace aos decidi quedarse en su pas primero voluntariamente, luego con la prohibicin expresa de salir resistiendo el rgimen y denunciando, pelcula tras pelcula, la vida cotidiana bajo un Estado teocrtico desptico y dictatorial. Los osos no existen es su ltima gran y multigalardonada obra, que fue concebida poco antes de que el director fuese encarcelado.

Adems de ser uno de los mejores cineastas del mundo nada menos que el autor de ttulos como El globo blanco (1995), El espejo (1997), El crculo (2000), Offside (2006), Taxi Tehern (2015), el director iran Jafar Panahi es indomable. Informbamos en estas pginas sobre su encarcelamiento y su huelga de hambre en 2010, as como el apoyo internacional masivo que hace ms de una dcada floreci para liberarlo de aquella situacin. Pero inmerso en un crculo vicioso infame no menos puede decirse del rgimen islmico que impera hace 44 aos en el Estado persa su situacin volvi a ser la misma: en julio del ao pasado fue detenido y recluido en una crcel, en la que permaneci hasta que, gracias a una nueva huelga de hambre, fue liberado en febrero de 2023.

Ambas detenciones tuvieron lugar por haber participado de protestas concretas, pero en rigor las autoridades lo consideran un enemigo pblico desde hace dcadas, ya que en sus pelculas denuncia, una y otra vez, varias de las ms aberrantes injusticias perpetradas en el pas, y en especial las que viven las mujeres. Lo principal es salir a la calle, deca el mismo Panahi en Taxi Tehern, utilizando una frase que encerraba mltiples sentidos. En el contexto de la historia, se refera a filmar afuera de las casas, pero cualquier espectador atento se daba cuenta de que era uno de los tantos llamados a la movilizacin que, sutilmente, insuflaba en una pelcula repleta de buenas maneras y personajes encantadores. Para hacerla, el director viol al unsono dos prohibiciones que le haban sido impuestas: salir de su domicilio y filmar pelculas. En una escena clave, suba al taxi en el que ocurre la accin la abogada por los derechos humanos Nasrin Sotoudeh, una figura que estuvo presa e incomunicada y lleg a hacer huelga de hambre por 49 das, hasta casi morir de inanicin.

Defiant Tony Blair Insists Ousting Saddam Hussein Was Important Thing to Do "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Ilya Tsukanov Sputnik 01.07.2023

This past March marked the 20th anniversary of the US and UK-led invasion of Iraq. The war, launched on the false pretext of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Husseins alleged cooperation with al-Qaeda, claimed up to a million lives, and brought Iraq to the precipice of failed state status.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has returned to the limelight to defend his decision to join the USs Iraq invasion of 2003, and to offer his opinions on the crises facing the world today.

Its always difficult to go back with hindsight. But I always say to people there are many things we would have done different. But I still think that ultimately, in the Middle East, the removal of Saddam Hussein was an important thing to do, Blair said, speaking to Japanese media in an interview published Saturday.

The politician, who now heads the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a Gulf sheikdom, US State Department, World Economic Forum and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded non-profit, did not elaborate on why removing the Iraqi leader which destroyed Iraq and destabilized the Middle East was so important.

In hindsight, his comments are reminiscent of former Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albrights infamous 1997 60 Minutes Interview, in which Albright said that the price of half a million Iraqi children dying as a result of Western sanctions against Baghdad was worth it.

Important Opinions

Blair, 70, also offered his opinion on world affairs, including the NATO-Russia proxy war in Ukraine, and Chinas significance in a shifting world order.

Blair, apparently unfamiliar with Russias nuclear doctrine, claimed that Beijings close relationship with Moscow played a key role in preventing Russia from using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Although there are many problems connected with Chinas support of Russia, the one benefit of that close relationship, which you can see in Chinas insistence that Russia does not use nuclear weapons, is I think China does not believe it is in its interest at all for this to slide towards a global conflict, he said.

The terms of Russias 2020 nuclear doctrine actually strictly prohibit the use of nuclear weapons tactical or strategic, unless the country is attacked using weapons of mass destruction, or faces a conventional attack so severe that its very existence is deemed to be at risk.

Blair, who met with Putin in the 2000s during his tenure as PM, suggested that while the Russian president was once more open to cooperation with the West, R...

The French Riots "IndyWatch Feed World"

 

QUESTION: Martin,

You said to watch France and an early warning indicator. Might Europe be on the precipice?

My family, friends, and I thank you for everything that you do.

Best wishes,

JC
ANSWER: What we are watching in France is far more than simply a police shooting of a 17-year-old youth. The New York Times reported that in subsequent years, several beatings by the police and deaths in custody led to minor protests. This appears to be cumulative, but economic stagnation is eating away at Europe. While the overall unemployment rate in France is about 7%, the youth unemployment rate of ages 15 to 24 remains over 20%. This is a direct source of the unrest. All civil unrest is ALWAYS rooted in economics. A simple correlation between the global economy and economics reveals the source.

The danger is that as the economic conditions of Europe get worse with all the insane regulation for Climate Change that is reducing food production to eliminating jobs, all for a theory pushed by the WEF to create a new world of totalitarian order, we see hostility rising not just internationally, but also domestically and this can spread as a contagion throughout the EU. You cannot destroy the livelihood of so many people without dire consequences. This is partly why they also want the international war to divert attention from their failed climate change agenda.

The recent events in France are an uncanny repeat of the youth/racial riots of the autumn of 2005. That is when two youngsters of Arab origin were electrocuted while trying to escape arrest by the French police. This time, two police officers shot a juvenile of Algerian origin as he tried to escape in a stolen car. The evidence that surfaced showed that the police officer was in no d...

Durante la ltima Asamblea del Congreso Nacional Indgena (CNI), realizada en Tehuacn, Puebla, voces de distintas geografas de Mxico alertaron sobre el incremento de la violencia dirigida contra territorios de pueblos originarios en todo el pas.

En el anlisis de las mesas de trabajo se identific que esta violencia busca, entre sus objetivos, frenar y debilitar procesos organizativos para conseguir la imposicin de megaproyectos como el Corredor Interocenico y el Tren Maya, entre otros.

Lo que estamos viendo en nuestro territorio es justamente una violencia diferente, pero que tambin nos afecta. Escuchamos experiencias de otros pueblos donde se les violenta directamente con el ejrcito, entrando a matarlos. Nosotros no lo vivimos () de la misma manera, pero, sin embargo, s hemos sido violentados de otras formas, nos cuenta Jazmn Alvarado, integrante del Movimiento de Articulacin de los Pueblos Olvidados de la Caada (MAPOC).

Alvarado hace nfasis en las distintas formas que adopta la violencia en comunidades de la Sierra Mazateca, al norte de Oaxaca. En esa regin identifica situaciones que hieren gravemente el tejido comunitario como son la promocin del turismo cultural que acompaa un proceso de gentrificacin en la regin, as como el aumento en las agresiones contra mujeres y el alza en los feminicidios.

Tambin denuncia otros mtodos del despojo, menos comunes y silenciosos, como aquellos que, mediante la ciencia extractivista, ejecutan acciones de biopiratera, como es el caso de las actividades realizadas por espelelogos norteamericanos en las cuevas ms profundas del continente americano: el Sistema Huautla.

Video game propaganda: Six Days in Fallujah whitewashes US war crimes "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Shabbir Rizvi | Press TV | July 1, 2023

After over a decade of controversy, the US-made video game Six Days in Fallujah, based on the real-life combat between US Marines and Iraqis, was released on the streaming website Steam last week.

The video game puts players in the shoes of US Marines fighting in Fallujah, an Iraqi city located around 69 kilometers west of Baghdad, during the illegal US invasion and occupation of Iraq.

For years, the video game was subject to intense criticism from peace and human rights activists for glorifying the illegal and ignominious war and whitewashing US war crimes and imperialism.

Some even called it an Arab Murder Simulator for openly glorifying the war after it barely ended.

To this day, Fallujah is still dealing with the cataclysmic effects of the war. The US military used depleted uranium shells in Fallujah (both in 1991 and 2003-2004), which caused severe pollution in the environment. They also admitted to using white phosphorus, which is considered a war crime.

The air in the city on the banks of the Euphrates is still considered toxic, and results in miscarriages, cancer, or babies born with severe abnormalities that are more than often life-threatening.

The video game developers claimed they did not want to make the game political but rather immerse the player in a real-life war environment.

Interestingly enough, some of the developers from the studio themselves participated in the war, and the studio itself is responsible for creating simulation technologies for the US Marines.

Peter Tamte, one of the developers, has been involved in military simulators for two decades. He was even CEO of Atomic Games, which published simulators used by the US Marine Corps and training tools for the worlds leading military and intelligence organizations.
