A Reuters report published earlier this week revealed that the European Commission, de facto ruling committee of the EU has drafted proposals for a total embargo on oil and gas imports from Russia., However the report added there was no agreement among member states to impose such an embargo, many finance secretaries and energy minister in EU member states expressed support for the move but for others the move would have such a profound adverse effect on their national economies the proposal is unacceptable. The upshot is that as an indirect effect of the Ukraine conflict, the EU is heading for an unprecendented spilt over policy.
Cutting off Russian gas to EU nations will cost many member states dear, with Germany, which gets at a conservative estimate one third of its gas from Russia, taking the biggest hit, an estimated €220bn in lost output. Overall a ban on Russian gas and oil would trigger a recession across the Continent, due to the bloc's dependency on the Kremlin for energy.
Think tanks advising the German government said its economy would contract by 6.5pc as a result of losing access to of Russian gas. Credit agency Moody’s warned of energy rationing in countries reliant on Russia for supplies, in fact some smaller EU nations have already announced fuel rationing measures.
Overall Europe gets about 40pc of its gas from Russia and about 25pc
of its oil, meaning it is providing the Kremlin with a vital source of
cash while santions applied by the EU, USA and NATO in support of Ukraine are meant to end the war by starving Russia of revenue from its exports of essential commodities.
The EU has already set out plans to end imports of Russian coal but has so far failed to reach agreement on a full energy embargo. German finance
minister Christian Lindner warned earlier this month that a ban on Russian fuel “would inflict more damage on ourselves than on them".
In
a report released on Wednesday, economic think tanks said an immediate halt to
Russian gas imports would trigger a "sharp recession" in Germany, with inflation
partly caused by the war already impacting economic growth anticipated this year. Stefan
Kooths of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy said: “The shock
waves from the war in Ukraine are weighing on economic activity on both
the supply side and the demand side.”
Separately, Moody’s warned the difficulties of replacing Russian energy supplies, particularly
gas, would lead governments to prioritise households, hospitals and
transport for supplies, forcing some manufacturers to curtail production
or close.
Moody’s also warned an embargo would push oil prices to
$160 per barrel this year, up from $106.90 on Wednesday, while gas
prices in Europe would increase "significantly" from already high levels
and remain high for at least the next two years.

Hey Hand-Wringers and Pearl Clutchers - Wokeness Worsens Waycism
While I was talking to an old friend and a lifelong and somewhat
fanatical supporter of Manchester United football (aka soccer,) club he
asked who I though would win the Premier League title, United's great rivals
Manchester City or Liverpool. I could only say that given the current
standings it was a foregone conclusion one or the other would win it,
but I simply do not care.
Football, and indeed any team sports
were never a great enthusiasm of mine, I'd rather be doing than
watching, but up to a few years ago I took a passing interest simply so
that I was not left out of half the conversations among my friends in
pubs. Over the last decade however, my low level of involvement in
declined as the game became more politicised and more politically
correct, finally hitting zero when players (overpaid, overrated posers
with silly haircuts,) began 'taking the knee in support of Black Lives
Matter during the torrent of woke hysteria that inundated public life in
the wake of the George Floyd incident.
The sound of people chanting the Black Lives Matter mantra, ‘Silence is Violence’, echoed around the world in the summer of 2020. Reverse Racism activists and their supporters in political circles, media, the celebrity circus, sport and academic communities jumped on the BLM bandwagon, declaring that anybody who did not publicly support anti-black racism was by defalut an anti - black racist.
If you failed to take the knee or put a black square on your Instagram page or faithfully mouth BLM’s childish political slogans, then you were complicit in the death of George Floyd and other and other African Americans who died while committing crimes or resisting arrest and of actual violence against people of colour.
It was all
idiotic of course, the kind of irrational virtue signalling we should
now ne conditioned to expect from the 'woke' left.
Since then of course it has emerged that George Floyd was a despicable thug and small - time dickhead, that the innocent schoolteacher shot by trigger happy police while in bad at home, was in fact in bed next to her drug dealer boyfriend who started shooting when the cops burst in to arrest him, and that another black man who was shot by police had actually reached into his car for a concealed gun when he was warned that he was being arrested.
And then, beneath the deafening screech of
activists wailing 'Black Lives Matter,' there were the softer voices of
level headed reporters pointing out that given the levels of black - on -
black homicide and violence occurring daily on the streets of American
and increasingly the streets of European cities one could easily take
away the impression that the only black lives which matter are those of
criminals being brought to account under the laws of societies with a
white majority.
Is it still the case then that failing to
support anti - racist organisations amounts to supporting racism? If so,
then the woke
activists who have ranted and raged about white privilege, white
supremacism and white fragility should be charged with hate crime,
because thanks to their divisive and provocative behaviour racist
attacks have
spiked horribly in the US in recent weeks and they have uttered not a
word about it. Here are some examples:
In New York City, scene of some particularly nasty racially motivated
assaults, on 11 March, a 67-year-old woman was viciously
assaulted for no reason other than that her attacker hated her race. She was punched in the face 125 times,
had her head stomped on seven times, was spat on, and was subjected to
racist epithets. It was so severe that the suspect has been charged with
attempted murder.
At the start of April 2022, a young man in Brooklyn was attacked by a gang, again because of his race. He was kicked repeatedly
and subjected to insults. One anti-racist organisation said it was ‘shocked by the viciousness’ of this act of racist violence.
You haven’t heard about these attacks? Your social-media feed hasn’t overflowed with comments posted by University Brainwashed wokesters expressing sympathy for the victims or anger and outrage at the racial element in the attacks? You haven’t seen professional sports teams and athletes take the knee for the victims?
Well, that might have something to do with who the victims were. The 67-year-old woman punched in the face 125 times is Chinese-American. ‘Asian bitch’, her racist assaulter said as he spat and stomped on her. The young man brutalised in Brooklyn is Jewish, Hasidic Jew, to be precise. These are not minorities who enjoy anointed victim status in woke ideology. They place very low indeed in the hierarchy of racial victimhood constructed by the woke elites.
Jews, we are informed, enjoy ‘white privilege’. They’re
hyper-white, according to some accounts, so how can they be sympathetic
victims of racial hatred? As for Asians, they enjoy ‘honorary whiteness’, apparently. We frequently hear about ‘the whitening of Asian Americans’.
In short, they’re integrated into mainstream society, and thus not as
deserving of support as other, apparently more oppressed groups.
Likewise African Americans who are educated and have entered the
professional and managerial classes. They are dismissed as traitors to
the cause. Top of the victimhood ladder in the estimation of the woke
elite are black criminals, drug dealers and users, members of street
gangs and general arseholes.
Then there’s the question of who was responsible for the violent assaults mentioned above and many others because, for purposes of clarity I have not mentioned any attacks on people whose genetics are predominantly European. The suspect in the Asian woman attack is a black man named Tammel Esco. He has a long record of violent, drug related crime and has now been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime.
The gang that attacked the Jewish in Brooklyn was largely made up of black youths. This is not a rare occurrence. Tragically, young blacks attacking visibly Jewish people has become increasingly common in New York in recent years. But in woke ideology this is not racism blacks outrank Jews in the hierarchy of victimhood.
The woke Social Justice Warriors, stuck in their inflexible narratives of privilege and oppression, the idea of black - on - white or black - on - brown racism does not compute. So they ignore these attacks. They remain silent – or, as they might once have put it, violent.
The failure of these cases to stir up even a ripple of outrage among the virtue-signallers of social media is an indication of how toxic the left's identity politics has become. Anti-Jewish and anti-Asian violence is a very serious problem in parts of the US, yet it rarely registers on the outrageometer of the woke set whereas even moderate criticism of an African American drug addicted criminal will result in the critic being cancelled, losing their career and becoming a social outcast.
When racist violence committed by black people or people of colour or whatever we are required to call them this week is treated as just the background noise of city life, a mundane everyday activity not worth commenting on, you know we have a profound problem of racism denial.
Is it any wonder though that this
hidden racism is a growing problem not only in American but in UK,
Germany, France, Netherlands and other nations with significant ethnic
minority populations, when the slience of those who interpret even
trivial incidents of bad manners are interpreted as a serious case of
racism if the perpetratoris white and the target black or Hispanic. This
lop sided attitude appears to give the stamp of approval to black and
Hispanic thugs to commit racist acts against white people or minority
members who have assimilated into the prevailing culture.
If EU Cuts Off Russian Gas It Will Cost Germany €225 billion And Trigger An EU-wide Recession

Evidence Emerges Via Audio Recording That “Bucha Massacre” Was Likely Staged by Ukrainian Military
10 April 2022
We may not know for certain what is happening in Ukraine at any
given time or for any given instance or who is to blame. But what we do
know is that the Western official narrative is not truthful and there
is sufficient evidence to initiate investigations into the atrocities
occurring against both Ukrainian civilians and Russian soldiers. Yet,
calls for such investigations by Western governments and corporate media
are noticeably lacking. Silence from our governments coupled with an
institutionalised media which disregards that it is their job to
challenge authority is deeply disturbing. Only former football player Matt Le Tissier, who two months ago raised questions about the number of young, fit, fully vaccinated professional athletes who were collapsing with heart problems during competitive events since the COVID vaccines were rolled out, has dared to question the obvious flaws in the narrative and he got himself cancelled by the mob of angry sheep for the crime of stating the gobsmackingly obvious.
As the picture below reveals the alleged 'bodies; littering the street in Bucha, scene of the alleged massacre are merely smudges on the image and could be almost anything, In fact, the more the image is enlarged and cleaned up, the less like bodies the smudges look.
Now evidence is emerging that Le Tissier was correct to question the narrative.
The Backstory:
On Sunday, April 3, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry released a statement stated that they had found 410 bodies of slain Ukrainians in Bucha, Irpin and other towns and villages during the first two days since Russia initiated attacks in these regions. The statement asserted that the exact number of victims of Russian armed forces “will be much higher”. On the same day, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba released satellite images of “horrors caused by retreating Russian armed forces in Bucha city.”
A hysterical witch hunt followed this news, as in a style typical of corporate media, print and broadcast news began the process of demanding war crimes tribunrals, show trials, mass arrests of Russian politicians, military officers and oligarchs without a single question regarding the authenticity of the Ukrainian claims let alone an investigation to confirm the facts, The Independent, a far left online news site with a reporting style that makes Alex Jones look positively retrained, amplified a report from Reuters:
“Pope Francis has condemned “the massacre of Bucha” and kissed a Ukrainian flag sent from the town where tied bodies shot at close range littered the streets after Russian troops withdrew and corpses poked out of a mass grave at a church.
“[The flag] comes from the war, precisely from that martyred city, Bucha,” he said, kissing it and holding it up for the audience of several thousand, which broke into applause.”
A few days before the pontiff had “implicitly criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine,” The Independent reported. There is of course no evidence that any of this is true
It’s not that this report in isolation
is proof of corporate media’s lack of investigative journalism. But
rather that it is one article, just one small part, of a much larger anti - Russian propaganda
campaign possibly with the aim of generating public support for a direct military intervention by NATO in the conflict with the aim of overthrowing the Russian government. US predident Joe (Demential man) Biden actually admitted this in one of his more lucid moments when he said, quite unequivocally, "Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to continue in power."
A search of The Independent’s website throws up 16 articles published in the last week that use the term “Bucha massacre” and 100 more which include the term “Bucha killings.” However, such shameless propaganda indicates how determined corporate media is to push the government approved version of this story to ensure the idea of Russian brutality is firmly imprinted on the public’s psyche.
Giorgio Bianchi an Italian photojournalist, documentary photographer and filmmaker wrote in a blog, "if the Russians had committed such a horrendous crime, logic would have it that they would have had to load the bodies onto the trucks and then make them disappear in some blast furnace or some mine under their control. The Kiev regime takes orders from NATO, and NATO wants at all costs to overthrow the chessboard by escalating the conflict.”
During an interview, Bianchi contended that the Western media’s narrative built on assumptions of Russia’s guilt in the Bucha massacre is insane. The video clip of Bianchi’s interview is in Italian without English subtitles. However, a summary of what Bianchi said during his interview is noted in the description field below the video clip on YouTube and reads:
“The Russians are trying to move forward carefully, protecting civilian lives. I saw in Volnovakha and in Mariupol what a different attitude between civilians and the Russian military.
“If, for example, in Bucha, they were really killing civilians, raping women and children, would they have left all those corpses in the middle of the street, perfectly prepared for optimal composition for photographers? It’s stupid and illogical.
“I want to remember how in Afghanistan the US and NATO military shot civilians like in video games, cutting off the fingers of the dead. Whoever collected the most fingers won. Who uncovered these horrors? Julian Assange. Where is he now? In prison for revealing these secrets…”
Italian journalist, author, blogger and television presenter Toni Capuozzo also rejects the official Western narrative of events in Bucha. The timings, in particular, the dates on which the claims of civilian corpses in the streets raises questions.
On 30 March, Capuozzo reports, the Russians withdrew from Bucha and on 31 March the mayor of the city stated in front of the city hall he was satisfied with the liberation, with no reference to the bodies.
On 1 April, interviews of Bucha’s civilians, now free, begin to appear. But no-one mentions the bodies in the streets. On 2 April Ukrainian police footage was released in which only one body is seen on the ground. Finally, on 3 April, images of the many bodies on the streets began to circulate. Capuozzo then pointed out the odd behaviour of Ukrainian civilians who, over the 4 days, never covered or moved the bodies.
Mark Elsis, host of Earth Newspaper, asks why Russia would occupy and
live side-by-side with Ukrainians in Bucha but kill them during their
otherwise orderly withdrawal?

Sanctions have failed, the Russian rouble is stronger than before the war
Looking at the financial data earlier today I noticed that the Russian rouble is now worth more against the US dollar than it was before conflict broke out in Ukraine. On the 22nd of February this year, one US dollar would exchange for just over 79 rubles. As of the time of writing, it is now 78.
The same is true of the UK pound (still a reserve currency and actually gaining popularity as the US$ and the European €) which stood at around 108 rubles before the war and is 102 now, while the Euro traded at 88 rubles before, and is 84 now).
Around the world the ruble is stronger than before the war, particularly among those nations that have refused to support santions. but we are still being told on a daily basis that the US /NATO / EU sanctions are crippling Russia economically So, what is going on and why are we being lied to again?
The media are attempting to throw a cloak of invisibility over their propaganda falsehoods by claiming that the current strength of the ruble “may be illusory” or that Russia has exploited a “loophole” in the sanctions and used “financial alchemy” to “rescue the ruble”.
This is bollocks, Russsian exporters are avoiding sanctions by using methods that are standard business practice, they are trading through middle men. It was obvious from the moment sanctions were imposed that Russia and its customers would continue to do business through companies trading under the banking equivalent of a flag of convenience.At the same time, Europe and the US are expecting food and gas shortages, seeing record petrol prices and talking about rationing. And mainstream media claim Ukraine is winning the shooting war and sanctions are destroying the Russian economy and stirring up public unrest and demands for Putin to be removed from office.
Last week OffGuardian.com published an article asking “Is Russia the REAL target of Western sanctions?”
As the war continues, and the ruble strengthens, while food prices and energy costs in Europe, North America spiral out of control as the establishment try to keep the COVID fear and panic bandwagon rolling the answer is becoming pretty obvious. We The People are the target of all these manufactured shitstorms, the objective behind them is less obvious. but the guess of most habitual sceptics like myself is that we are being softened up for the creation of a totalitarian world government.

New UN Report on Climate Change – Nothing New, Nothing True
The latest United Nations (“UN”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report, published this week, once again, in scaremongering tone and the language of the panic stricken, claims that the planet is in peril (we are facing climate disaster, the clock is at one minute to midnight, we must take urgent action to destroy civilisation if we are to save the planet, the usual over - dramatised guff designed to spread fear and panic,) basically the same claim as they have been making at least twice a month for the past 20 years. ...

We need energy security – not Net Zero
The government is too beholden to green fantasies to take our energy needs seriously - by James Woudhuysen in Spiked
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West. We have suddenly found ourselves vulnerable not just to rising prices in oil and gas, but also to inflation in other commodities – such as food and fertiliser. Of all these problems, the security of our energy supply has most exercised minds.
Last week, the EU and the US agreed to establish a joint task force on energy security. Its aim is for the US and EU to meet Net Zero objectives, and for the EU to become independent from Russian fuels. The headline promise from Washington was to send an extra 15 billion cubic metres of liquified natural gas (LNG) to the EU this year, so as to help the EU begin to replace Russian hydrocarbons with other supplies.
After many setbacks, the UK is finally set to publish its own energy-security strategy today. As we’ve come to expect from Boris Johnson’s chaotic administration, for weeks the government has vacillated over a number of key issues. But we now know that the government wants nuclear, onshore wind, solar and hydrogen all to play a much larger role. And for the short term, new North Sea oil and gas projects are set to be given the go-ahead. The government describes its strategy as a ‘major acceleration’ of ‘homegrown power’, which will put us on a path to ‘energy independence’.
The government has explicitly tied its strategy to the Ukraine crisis. Though, as it happens, Britain only relies on Russia for eight per cent of its oil and less than four per cent of its gas – unlike the EU, which, in 2020, took 37 per cent of its oil, 41 per cent of its gas and even 19 per cent of its coal from Moscow.
Even so, replacing just those small amounts of oil and gas has so far proved a challenge for the UK. Johnson didn’t have much joy in persuading oil-rich Saudi Arabia to boost its supplies on his visit in March, for instance. ... Continue reading at Spiked
The crusty ecowarriors of Exstinktion Rebellion (XR)were ridiculed in UK media today for a ludicrous claim that they’re like “freedom fighters in Ukraine”.
Speaking on GB News, Broadcaster Danny Kelly said he had read of a leading climate activist from the group comparing the annnoying activists to 'freedom fighters,' though it is not clear whether the comparison to the Ukrainian military fighting the invading Russian army, or to the ethnic Russian rebels in the Rusian speaking Donbas region against whom the Ukrainian government has been waging genocidal war singe 2014. Kelly was referring to a comment made by former GB News guest, Exstibktion Rebellion activist Verel Rodrigues of whom he said: “This is how detached people like Verel and their views are from the average ordinary man and woman in the street.
“There is a
real here and now crisis. How the hell does Verel expect pensioners to
heat their homes up when they’re living on the breadline when the price
of gas and electricity is shooting through the roof?" Kelly added.
Other broadcasters and bloggers picked up the story as protesters from XR offshoot Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion occupied the famous landmark of Tower Bridge and unfurled a green banner with black writing, which read “End fossil fuels now”. Demonstrators suspended themselves from the bridge using cords, with police shutting it for several hours.
This latest deliberate attempt to disrupt normal life comes after eight days of disruption at oil facilities by the group and the Just Stop Oil coalition. XR and Just Stop Oil are ludicrously demanding an immediate halt to the use of oil and all 'fossil' fuels, something which is impossible for about a million valid reasons.
In another broadcast comment Danny Kelly said: "If I was a cop in London this morning, I would quite simply ask my superintendent if I could get some garden shears and cut those doomsday idiots off tower bridge.
“They’ve got a soft landing, get a boat to drag them out the Thames and process them that way."
Speaking on GB news earlier, climate activist Verel said: “'I feel like we are in a very dire situation.
“We've tried everything in the normal way to bring about change, to raise awareness.'
"They set goals and they set targets, but what are we seeing from that? We’re seeing none of those targets being met. In fact the government is backtracking on its net-zero targets by investing more into fossil fuels and they’ve now got about 14 new oil and gas projects in their pipelines."
Officers cleared the Tower Bridge protesters by 11.40am, escorting them into police vehicles, and the bridge was reopened at midday.

German Ethics Council Criticises Reiteration Of Official Narrative By Media During the Covid Era
Last May Germany’s most popular newspaper, Bild, issued a public apology for its coverage of the Covid pandemic which was “like poison” and “made you feel like you were a mortal danger to society.”
In fact the pandemic coverage by Bild and other German news media had been very similar to that seen in the rest of the EU's member states as well as USA, UK, Canada and Australia, a constant barrage of scarmongering reports exaggerating the risk level of COVID-19 to reasonably healthy people under the age of 75 and demonising those who declined vaccination or questioned the very questionable efficacy of the vaccines. In other words German media had, like news media throughout the developed world stuck closely to the official narratives of governments and the World Health Organisation throughout the pandemic.
Later in the year Neues Deutschland published a privately commissioned study on journalistic reporting during the Covid era titled ‘One-sided, uncritical, close to the government?’. The authors described at length and in strongly critical terms the “very clear result of the present study” that the reporting was “at the same time close to and uncritical of the government”.
The authors complained that media reporting was only critical of government in the sense that while praising governments for tough measures to protect the public, reporters and columnists often did not consider the measures (which mostly consisted of attacks on personal freedom and basic human rights,) were not tough enough. They even persisted in this line when the measures such as lockdowns and mask mandates proved totally ineffective.
On 4 April this year (2022,) the German Ethics Council has released a 161-page draft report ‘Vulnerability and Resilience in Crisis – Ethical, Criteria for decisions in a pandemic’ which sharply criticises “mass media’s” lack of critical reporting and failure to hold politicians to account.
“Obvious undesirable developments were hardly addressed with the necessary clarity by a journalism that saw itself as ‘constructive’ or ‘sensitive to the common good’ … Reporting by mass media that is too affirmative or one-sided pleadingly fails to stimulate the formation of opinions … Criticism is not only legitimate, it is necessary,” the draft report states.
The report is in German, however The Daily Expose provide an English translation by Google translate, Click to Download the .pdf document.

A few weeks ago this blog reported a Swedish study which showed that natural immunity provides much better protection against infection by the SARS2-COV virus which causes COVID (COrona VIrus Disease,) than the Pfizer vaccine which is currently hyped as the most effective on the market, though it is no more effective than the others at provinding immunity.

Footballer Matt Le Tissier cancelled after doubting Ukraine massacre propaganda
Former Southampton footballer and England international who recently courted controversy by expressing his concerns over the number of professional athletes who were falling ill with heart problems, and dying during competitive events in a few cases, after receiving their full complement of COVID vaccines, has upset the mob again.Le Tissier has resigned from his role as a club ambassador following a series of highly controversial postings referencing the Ukraine conflict on social media. His former team were already unhappy about Le Tissier’s utterances on the controversial COVID-19 vaccines and felt the former England striker had crossed a line when he appeared to question war reports describing massacres in the town of Bucha, in Ukraine. Under a picture grabbed from mainstream media purporting to show streets strewn with the bodies of Ukrainian civilians (though the visible shapes could have been anything because the image was so indistinct,) he retweeted a post claiming that the media had lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, poison gas attacks in Syria, the genocide of Kurds, Yazidi and Druze in Syria by western back Islamic fundamentalists, Covid and “the Hunter Biden laptop” and then said, “But honestly they are telling the truth about Bucha!” The post was met by the usual faux outrage from the propaganda - brainwashed 'woke' mob on Twitter and later deleted. Atrocities in Bucha have been reported extensively by numerous propaganda mouthpieces for globalist governments in broadcast and print media from across the world. ... Continue reading >>>In last weekend's Hungarian elwction the stunning victoru of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidez party, which absolutely crushed the opposition despite a hugely expensive propaganda campain againts the governing part funded by Marxist billionaire and big - time political meddler George Soros and orchestrated by the European Union was a triumph for “Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics,” Orbán said in a victory speech.
There election was free and fair due to Hungarian controls on postal voting and observed counts making difficult the kind of vote rigging seen so often in recent elections, and the people of Hungary gave a decisive blow to the idiocies of the globalist, woke agenda at the ballot box.
LifeSiteNews reported "Pro-life and pro-family Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has won a fourth term as the Central European nation’s leader after his conservative Fidesz Party’s landslide success at the polls was announced Sunday.
58-year old Orbán fought off a six-party coalition aimed at unseating him to take a supermajority in Parliament, with Fidesz now holding 135 of the 199 available seats, just under 68 percent, and the opposition bloc taking just 56 seats.
Orbán, who has presided over Hungary for 12 years and is the European Union’s (EU) longest serving prime minister, will now rule for a further four, despite early polls predicting he would be ousted.
The prime minister was welcomed by a crowd cheering his name Sunday night as polling results showed his success. Addressing his supporters, Orbán said that they ‘have won a great victory – a victory so great you can see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels.’1
‘The entire world can see that our brand of Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics has won.’
‘We are sending Europe a message that this is not the past – this is the future, our common European future’. . .
Hungary has also faced fierce opposition from within the EU over social and political issues; the European Parliament voted in March to withdraw funding to the country over its refusal to bow to the bloc’s pro-LGBT stance.
The EU criticized legislation recently enacted in Hungary known as the Child Protection Law, banning the promotion of homosexuality, ‘transgenderism,’ and pornographic materials to minors in schools as well as cracking down on pedophilia.”
Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec guested on Steve Bannon’s War Room on April 4 to discuss Orbán’s stunning 20-point victory on a nationalist, pro-family platform. Posobiec said:
“The referendum passed even bigger than Orbán. . .[the referendum was] all about this sexual identity in the classroom, bringing the trans agenda to children. Steve, they were passing with a majority of 92 to 95% against that. . .You would see similar majorities across the United States [on these issues]. . .
[This is] a turn back to traditionalism, a turn back to sovereignty, a turn back to actual national identity for individual nations and no globalized homogenization. And by the way, Steve, I really have to shout out to, you know, the election workers in Hungary as well, because somehow they were able to count millions and millions of votes in just a couple of hours. . .We’re not waiting two and three weeks, there’s no crazy things going on at 3 am in the morning. . .Maybe we can get some of that here.”
As results came in on Hugary's election night, showing that Fidez was winning by an even bigger landslide than in the previous three elections, Orbán told supporters that the money Hungarian-borncurrency speculator George Soros had spent funding his opposition was Soros's worst investment ever.
Soros might regret another investment he made in 1989 a bit more: it was then that his Open Societies foundations awarded a young Orbán a scholarship to Oxford.
But Soros was not the only one stung by the scale of Oraban's victory. Due to his position as de facto leasder of the EU's renegade Visegrad group, a cohort of former Soviet Bloc nations which relish the security EU gives them but resent the centralised and authoritarian control of political and socialist agendas imposed on member stated by Brussels, Hungary punches above its weight in the EU's council of ministers. With many other member states not associated with Visegrad also trending politically towards fiscally and socially conservative parties which opposed the move towards woke globalism in Brussels, EU leaders supportive of federalisation and expansion of the Union are panicking.

Net Zero Gone With The Wind - Boris Johnson Plans Seven New Nuclear Plants And Shelves Wind Expansion
While the UK is not as hard hit as other European nations by the energy crisis caused because economic sanctions on Russia are disrupting imports of Russian natural gas, we have a crisis of our own making thanks to policies implemented by the current and past governments to make us reliant on wind power to generste our baseload energy needs. As the final few coal fired power stations have been mothballed or decommissioned the rocketing price of gas and oil has made North Sea gas fields, that had become uneconomical in an era of cheap energy imports, viable again.
But this is a short term solution. Looking ahead, Britains plans for assuring futre energy stability as as chaotic and disjointed as ever.
Reports in mainstream media suggest Boris Johnson has done a U turn on his recently announced massive expansion of wind powered generating capacity. Sources in Westminster claim Boris has shelved his masterplan for a giant, floating wind farm in The North Sea and the government will reconsider plans to double or even treble the number of wind turbines in the countryside and approve plans for up to seven new nuclear reactors instead.
The Prime Minister is
said to have thrown out a plan presented by Business Secretary
Kwasi Kwarteng to double the UK's onshore output to 30GW by 2030.(It should be noted here that 30GW is the notional output from operational or planned wind farms, in fact wind turbines rarely manage to produce more than 20% of the claimed potential output.
Fortunately for British voters, Tory opposition in the party's shire England heartlands to a government of their own party, and from ministers within Johnson's Cabinet to the expansion of expensive, inefficient and unreliable wind turbines means that new atomic power sites in rural areas are likely to be the way forward for the UK's electricity industry.
The decommissioned nuclear power station at Wylfa, on Anglesey, has been suggested as a possible location for the first of a series of small reactor plants.
Johnson is expected to finally unveil his government's long delayed energy strategy document on Thursday, and it is expected to contain no firm targets for expansion of onshore wind expansion. But it is expected to lift a moratorium in place since 2015 to allow them to be built were there is local support (local support for wind farms being as rare as hen's teeth or rocking horse shit.
The change in the government's thinking on wind and nuclear apparently came after Transport Secretary Grant Shapps publicly voiced his opposition to new wind farms in favour of new nuclear sites.

The dominant topic in print and broadcast news at the moment is the roceting price of fuel and essential foods. This cost of living crisis (because it has in the past few weeks become a crisis,) was already forming late last year. The failure of green energy policies and environmentalist virtue signalling by governments had already seen national energy grids struggling to maintain energy supply as 'sustainable' sources such as wind and solar proved they cannot sustain the steady output a large population in a technologically advanced country depends on. Governments faced with a choice of explaining blackouts to voters or angering the green lobby by cranking up the output from gas fired power stations and recomissioning coal fired generators, chose fossil fuels.
But now, as if the energy crisis was not enough for us to contend with there is another major concern for us long suffering taxpayers as the food proce inflation predicted by this blog since day one of the Ukrainian conflict is starting to bite.
Both Ukraine and Russia happen to be leading exporters of agricultural products to North African and Middle Eastern nations while Europe also obtains a significant slice of its wheat, corn and edible oils from the countries involved in the war.The countries hardest hit in the near term will be in the middle east and North Africa. Many of these nations already face internal conflicts and have populations struggling to put food on their tables. In 2020, 80% of the wheat Lebanon imported came from Ukraine and the final figure for 2021 will be similar. Egypt, with close to 100 million population remains the world’s largest wheat importer, which places this North African country in a very delicate position because about 50 percent of its imports come from the Russian Federation, while another 30 percent come from Ukraine. Libya imports 40% of its wheat from Kiev, and Yemen gets around one third of its wheat from Ukraine, while 8% comes from Russia.
Looking further ahead, the effect will be global. 45% of Ukrainian exports are agricultural-related. It is a leading exporter of poultry, wheat, barley, and corn, and much of its wheat comes from the disputed territory in Eastern Ukrainian where most of the heavy conflict is going on.
In fact, the Black Sea area – affected by the current military operations – exports over 12 percent of the food traded globally.
It gets worse. On March 9 this year, Kiev banned exports of grains and many other food items in order to prevent domestic food shortages because of the war, thus disrupting supply chains. This is quite alarming because the planting season is to start this month.
The Russian Federation is the largest wheat supplier worldwide and one of the main producers of fertilizers but because of economic sanctions imposed by the west Russia can no longer supply western needs as its banks have been frozen out of the SWIFT international payments system so Russian exporters cannot be paid by customers in the west.
The worst consequence, though it has hardly been mentioned in mainstream media, is that this crude attempt to hamstring the Russian economy has provoked Moscow into banning fertilizer exports as a response to the heavy economic sanctions imposed on the country.
In Latin America, for example, Brazil imports 95% of its nitrogen fertilizers, Moscow being its leading supplier (21% of the amount imported by Brazil comes from there). Brazilian harvests have been much damaged by droughts since 2020. In any case, the increase in fuel prices in itself affects food transport costs, thereby affecting agricultural production cost worldwide.
There is a global energy shortage crisis today, which is caused in part by green lunacy as mentioned in the opening paragraph and partly by government responses around the world in response to a virus with a 0.2% fatality rate, and is now being exacerbated by the global supply chain crisis caused by unnecessary sanctions on Russia. The ruling elites have shot their own countries in the foot, everything western political and business leaders have done in their quest for global hegemony has made life more difficult for the people these power drunk clowns are meant to serve.
Iran has made a mockery of US sactions shipping fuel to countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Venezuela, as part of its oil diplomacy as well as selling vast amounts of oil to China which uses lots of fossil fuel in manufacturing the cheap goods we in the ewest are so addicted to. Western Europe, in its turn, had already been facing its own energy crisis since the end of last summer as green wokery, pandemic related disruptions and dependence on Russian gas combined to create a perfect storm for consumers.
It alsol] adds up to a potential global catastrophe.
By fuelling the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, which is a delayed result of the 2014 coup endineered by the USA, NATO and the EU, which replaced a democratically elected government with the current far right Russophobes, by encouraging its puppet regime in Kiev to provoke Russia by attacking ethnic Russian minorities in Ukraine and by sanctioning Moscow, the West is in fact punishing itself, but the truth goes beyond that: it is punishing the entire world in a futile bid to overthrow Putin and effect regime change in Moscow. This only shows that the foreign policy experts of the main western governments do not understand anything about Russia, its history or culture.
The only way to get out of this mess before it escalates is through dialogue with Moscow. Is this likely to happen? the Western Political Establishment rather than seeking dialogue with the Kremlin,have been trying to turn Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into a kind of pop - star politician, spokesperson for the free world and cheerleasder for the nuclear war with Russia that demented Joe Biden and his White House team appear to be intent on starting.
Joe Biden’s visit to Poland also only added fuel to the fire and Boris Johnson's belligerent bluster about standing up to Russian bullying made things even worse.
To sum it up, Western leaders have been irresponsible in failing to pursue diplomatic solutions and instead guaranteeing that Russia will become more intransigent over its demands in any negotiations. A cease-fire must be negotiated, but for that to happen Ukraine and the West must make concessions rather than making threats they cannot back up. As things stand, World War Three is being fought on the economic from and Russia is winning.

That Didn't Take Long: European nations start RATIONING food and fuel
While mainstream media were dutifully broadcasting and printing versions of the official narrative throughout last week as they have since Russia invaded Ukraine, that the forces of little Ukraine were bravely resisting the onslaught of big bad Russia and actually pushing the invaders back to their own territory, this blog has been focused throughout the crisis on the economic consequences for the west, and the far bigger issue of what will happen in the developed nations once economic sanctions cut off supplies of essential raw materials American, Europe and the rest of the G19 group are dependent on Russia for.
It has not taken long for us to be proved right (as usual). Our argument that Ukraine was just a sideshow to the real war which is being fought in the stock and currency exchanges and commodity markets of the world's financial centres is already visibly right as pictures of empty supermarket shelves are being published by news media and posted by contributors to social media.
Countries around the world, especially in Europe where Germany and Austria are leading the way, have started rationing food and fuel.
Europe’s food and fuel crisis was already in progress before EU member states imposed economic sanctions on Russia in compliance with the diktat of America's Biden administration. This threatened the flow of already-critical commodities in Europe and threatened to collapse global supply chains still suffering disruption due to the chaotic and ineffective measures imposed in response to the hoax pandemic.
As a result of these acts of gross incompetence the prices of everything from oil to wheat began to climb in the second half of 2021, soaring to unimaginable levels since the Ukraine situation blew up,
leading to the highest inflation rates for decades. Supplies of essential products such as oil, natural gas, wheat, edible oils and fertiliser have also dwindled after exports from Russia were
completely strangled. And while the west suffers from its own sanctions, Russia has found a very simple workaround and is still selling its products to nations that account for two thirds of the world's population.
Sunflower oil, wheat, dairy products and gas for power generation and fuel for business and domestic needs are being rationed
Spain appears to have been the first country to experience serious shortages of different products like eggs, milk and other dairy products almost immediately following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. In early March, major supermarkets like Mercadona and Makro began rationing sunflower oil.
Spain’s government, a shaky coalition of centre left, centre right and far left parties cobbled together by Brussels to keep anti - EU parties such as Poemos away from government, gave stores the option to temporarily impose limits on the number of certain products customers purchase.
In Greece, at least four national supermarket chains have started rationing food products like flour and sunflower oil due to critically low supplies caused by the crippled supply chains coming out of Russia and Ukraine.
The supermarkets claim the current rationing is only a preventive measure that will be rolled back once Greece’s supplies of flour and sunflower oil stabilize the government states. Around 30 percent of Greece’s wheat imports come from Russia and Ukraine so it seems supplies are not likely to stabilise any time soon.
The German government triggered the first part of a three-stage emergency plan to conserve the country’s natural gas supply last week. This move came after Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Germany pay for Russian gas in roubles thus turning Western sanctions against the nations that imposed them.
German Vice-Chancellor and Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck explained that the current rationing plan is a preventive measure implemented to make sure the country doesn’t experience a critical shortage. Habeck is talking bollocks, if Russia decides to shut down the pipeline Germany, thanks to Green idiocy and loonytoons 'net zero' energy policies, will be plunged into chaos.
Britain and the USA, having their own energy resources now that sky high costs of the resources that are available to import make it economically viable to start up parts of the North Sea and Texas oil and gas fields that had been mothballed because cheap imports made them uneconomic, are so far less hard hit. But supply problems have only just begun, Russia supplies two thirds of the world's Ammonium Nitrate, the active ingredient in commercial fertiliser, so when crop yields fall in those nations that can still supply us, food shortages must follow.
Whatever is happening on the ground in Ukraine, and it is wise to be profoundly skeptical of the propaganda from both sides, those of us with access to the news feeds the markets get information from know the only certainty is that while stupid, arrogant western leaders have been obsessed with presentation, Russia has out - manouvred them economically to such an extent that the war could well bring about the collapse of the US dollar and with it the global financial network.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Britain can’t cut off domestic gas without other reliable energy sources
An interesting selection of letters to the editor in the Daily Telegraph on an idiotic policy just adopted by parliament's climate change committee, who are more interested in sucking up to The Islington Screechers and competing with the idiot Macron on France, and the Soros lackey Merkel in Germany to go down in history as the leader who most effectively destroyed the country they led.
It was a pleasant week in ?Britain last week, the weather settled into a psttern of cold, dry, sunny, almost windless days typical of what we ofen get from December through to April. It was certainly too cold to be outdoors without a coat or thick sweater for long. More significantly ss a result of the lack of wind, electricity generation from wind turbines was negligible, averaging 1.01Gigawatts, or 3% of total demand: Effectively this means that wind farms only run at about 5% of their capacity in such wintery weather.
Ironically Prime Minister Boris Johnson, while bleathering and blustering about fighting Putin's effective embargo on natural gas exports pleadeged to make Britain even more dependent than it is now on wind power. Somewhat idiotically he claimed this was necessary to ensure the country could never again be held to ransome by tyrants who controlled essential natural resources. What Boris, his predecesors in office for the past 25 years and all their scientific and environmental advisers fail to understand is that our foolish committment to wind and oither 'renewable' energy sources is precicely what has made us dependent on nations like Russian and Saudi Arabia for reliable energy sources.
According to published statistics for last week, gas provided 53.7% of our electricity, with another 3.5% from coal. Nuclear, although nominally only about 15% of national capacity provided over 30% of energy needed while negligable contributions from wind solar and hydro made up the rest. This is only one week remember, but in a cold week just outside winter it is frightening to think that at a time when domestic heating needs are at their greatest, thanks to the unreliability of wind power there was absolutely no spare capacity in the national grid.The situation has been similar in Germany, even more reliant- on wind than The UK, with wind power nearly drying up for four days, and over the week averaging only 9% of total generation. Their grid was only kept going with coal and gas, 41% and 12% respectively.
Germany does have more solar capacity than Britain, this contributed 16% of the total, but in early spring solar is only really useful for about three hours a day, around noon, rather than early morning or evening when demand peaks. It is also worth pointing out that in the middle of winter solar power only supplied 2% of total generation. As with the UK, electricity only accounts for a small proportion of total energy consumption, about a sixth.
In terms of primary energy consumption, wind only makes up 8%, with solar another 4%. It is abundantly clear that we cannot rely on importing power from Europe as most European nations are in a worse situation. In our Net Zero future, they will be in as much trouble as we.
anyone who has watched a TV news bulletin or read a newspaper in the past week ought to be aware that our ability to import gas and oil is reduced as a result of Russia's retaliatory measures to US / NATO / EU economic sanctions imposed in a futile attempt to end the conflict in Ukraine. We are also exporting gas to Europe as well which is highly unusual though there is plenty still to be pumped from our North Sea rigs, now that high prices make it economical to run them. What has become evident is that the last few coal plants in Britain MUST be retained for the foreseeable future. The remaing handful, either mothballed or kept on standby, were due to be closed very soon and will probably require considerabe refurbishment if they are to return to ful operational capacity.
It seems nothing less that total system collapse will make people to wake up and challenge the idiotic bullies of the green lobby or give politicians a sufficiently good kicking to make them understand the needs of the people outweigh virtue signalling and woke fuckwittery in their list of priorities. Not enough of us understand what is really happening what is really happening is areas as important as energy supply. BoJos Energy Security paper is being pushed back on a weekly basis but still mainstream media foicuses on green propaganda and deflects attention from the more serious news.
The mess is the result of over 20 years of EU and UK energy policy by being formulated by bureaucrats and politicians who have been deliberately destroying our electricity systems and influenced by a noisy but numerically insignificant minority who would rather the world returned to medieval poverty that burn one gallon of oil or bucket of coal. The bureucrats have links to corporate entities that have financial interests in wind and sloar power. On the part of the politicians and their financial advisers it is a case of 20 years collective stupidity and ignorance that have led them to believe 'science' can make the wind blow and the sun shine twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Take your pick. It is truly amazing that power experts have been totally ignored for over 20 years – and they are still being ignored by the government as the impending disaster gets nearer by the day.

Green Activists Blockade 10 Key Oil Depots and Terminals in UK as Energy Prices Soar
Just when you thought the skink had gone away another bunch of Exstinktion Rebellion crusties pop up with a new plan to annoy everybody while achieving the exact opposit of what they intended. Loony left green activists today blockaded seven key oil terminals and depots in Britain on the very day that energy costs are being hiked by 54 per cent.
Just Stop Oil, one of a number of extremist anti-civilisation groups linked to Marxist political parties in the United Kingdom blocked Inter Terminals UK, Navigator Terminals Thames, Esso Birmingham, Purfleet Fuels Terminal, Kingsbury Oil Terminal, the BP Depot in Tamworth, and the Buncefield Oil Depot in Hemel Hempstead, according to BBC news reports.
Other news reports revealed that the better-known Exstinktion Rebellion (XR) group of upper middle class crusties, who shut down swathes of the British capital of London several times last year claims it has blockaded a further three sites “of strategic importance to the UK’s energy network”, namely Esso West, near Heathrow Airport, and Esso Hythe and BP Hamble, both near Southampton.
Among the Just Stop Oil group's loonytoons demands is an immediated end to the government’s genocidal policy of expanding UK oil and gas production. The group is calling on all those outraged at the prospect of climate collapse and apparently immune to the cost-of-living crisis and hypothermia to stand with us.” Just Stop Oil declared in a statement that it will continue to disrupt life until its demands are met, although Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government has not actually ordered the opening new oil and gas fields or given clearance for fracking for shale gas and is not likely to do so, given its leftist climate policies.
“Ordinary people can no longer afford oil and gas, it’s time to just stop oil,” the attention seeking wankers added — failing to explain how abruptly removing oil from the energy mix could do anything other than increase prices massively and cause untold misery to millions of families..
Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the
primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
That Didn't Take Long: European nations start RATIONING food and fuel

:UK Energy From Wind Power Down To 3% Of National Need In Past WeekIt was a pleasant week in ?Britain last week, the weather settled into a psttern of cold, dry, sunny, almost windless days typical of what we ofen get from December through to April.

Grooming gangs 'are abusing girls across the country', victims and investigators warn
'Grooming gangs across the country are repeating the horrific abuse exposed in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and most recently Newcastle, victims and investigators have warned. There are mounting calls for nationwide action to combat sexual exploitation, with authorities accused of playing catch-up after ignoring victims “for decades and decades”.
Sammy Woodhouse, who was abused as a teenager by the Rotherham ringleader Arshid “Mad Ash” Hussain and has waived her right to anonymity, said abuse was underway “all over the country”.
“It’s an issue for every town and city, more people are being failed,” she told The Independent. “I’m hearing a lot of new complaints from survivors ...

‘Mafia Effect’ Keeps Islamic Terrorism at Bay in Italy
Italy has managed to avoid the brutal consequences of Islamist terrorism thanks to its decades-long war on powerful organized crime, according to a new article in the UK-based Economist magazine.
"The fight against Italy’s formidably organised criminals has given its police a wealth of experience in monitoring tightly knit target groups," the article states. "It was enhanced by the campaign to subdue the left- and right-wing terrorists who wrought havoc in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s."
Despite repeated threats against Italy, and Rome in particular, the Islamic State has so far been thwarted in its efforts to bring down the wrath of Allah on the Italian peninsula.
North Korea Planning To Test Fire Missile Capable Of Reaching U.S. West Coast
Is this the stormy weather that Donald Trump was referring to yesterday?
Russian news agency Sputnik reports, that according to a Russian lawmaker, who has just returned from North Korea, Pyongyang is ready to test a missile capable of reaching the US western coast.
"They are preparing for a new test of a longer-range missile. They even gave us mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the western coast of the United States," Morozov said.
"In the near future, they are going to carry out, as far as we understand, yet another launch of a missile, but this time with a longer range," the lawmaker said, adding that the general mood in Pyongyang is "rather belligerent."
This "Russian Influence" Campaign Is Just A Click-Bait Scheme
Congress is investigating 3,000 suspicious ads which were run on Facebook. These were claimed to have been bought by "Russia" to influence the U.S. presidential election in favor of Trump.
It now turns out that these Facebook ads had nothing to do with the election. The mini-ads were bought to promote click-bait pages and sites. These pages and sites were created and then promoted to sell further advertisement. The media though, has still not understood the issue.
On September 6 the NYT asserted:Providing new evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Facebook disclosed on Wednesday that it had identified more than $100,000 worth of divisive ads on hot-button issues purchased by a shadowy Russian company linked to the Kremlin.
The disclosure adds to the evidence of the broad scope of the Russian influence campaign, which American intelligence agencies concluded was designed to damage Hillary Clinton and boost Donald J. Trump during the election.
Like any Congress investigation the current one concerned with Facebook ads is leaking like a sieve. What oozes out makes little sense. READ MORE >>>

Former President Barack Obama spoke to the Chamber of Commerce in Montreal on Tuesday, warning against income inequality and the concentration of wealth—remarks from a man who reportedly commanded $400,000 a speech, or $7,700-a-minute at that rate, for his Canadian speech.
Obama said the world must do more to combat income inequality, noting that the concentration of wealth fans fears that governments exist solely to benefit the powerful, NBC reported.
“That’s a recipe for more cynicism and more polarization, less trust in our institutions and less trust in each other,” Obama said.
“And it’s part of what leads people to turn to populist alternatives that may not actually deliver,” Obama said in a thinly disguised jab at President Donald Trump without naming his successor specifically.
According to the Toronto Star, not everyone could afford to see the man calling for the end of income inequality.
Who we are, how we live (catalogue)Obama’s Bombshell Plot to Steal the 2020 Election Just Exposed
Democrats have been caught red-handed attempting to rig the 2020 election. Former President Obama has tapped his old analytic team to work on the upcoming census. This census will be used to redraw state and legislative district lines to help Democrats win in 2020. (via Dennis Michael Lynch)
Civis Analytics is a pro-Democrat data company that was built on the principles developed for Barack Obama’s successful reelection campaign in 2012. The company will work as a subcontractor with Young & Rubicon to conduct the 2020 U.S. Census after winning a $415 million advertising contract. Their work will form the basis of future redistricting.
The data company is unabashedly pro-Democrat and boasts on their website that, “We’re the minds that powered President Obama’s re-election campaign. Our mission is to help organizations find the truth in their data, and to spur them to actions that will change the world for the better.”
Of course, they mean “make the world better for globalists and their allies in the Democrat Party”.
Republican senators have expressed concern that an unflinchingly pro-Democrat group has been tasked with conducting what is supposed to be a politically neutral census. Partisan efforts to distort the census are particularly concerning since Barack Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, has openly stated that it is his mission to redraw district lines in favor of Democrat candidates.

Christians Have a Right to Express Their Faith, Says UK PM May
British Prime Minister Theresa May has launched a defence of the right of Christians to express their faith in her Easter message. Mrs. May said the government would stand up for people who speak openly of their religion, and would oppose moves to drive faith from public life.In a video message, the Prime Minister, whose father was an Anglican vicar, said she was shaped by the “values that I learnt in my own childhood, growing up in a vicarage”.“We should be confident about the role that Christianity has to play in the lives of people in our country. We should treasure the strong tradition that we have in this country of religious tolerance and freedom of speech.
Her comments come days after the High Court ruled in favour of new guidelines that could force Christian pharmacists to dispense abortion drugs against their deeply-held beliefs.

AGENT REFUSED OBAMA’s HUSH MONEY & Just REVEALED THE DEPTHS OF OBAMA & HILLARY’s TREASON
In testimony last year to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Johnson said she was stripped of her gun and badge without explanation after discovering fraud and abuse. She was then offered hush money in the amount of a severance package of $100,000 if she would just sign a non-disclosure agreement and quietly go away.
It looks like officials were taking kick backs and were cuddling up to organized crime. Why am I not surprised? She said that during her investigation in 2013, she “discovered that EB-5 applicants from China, Russia, Pakistan and Malaysia had been approved in as little as 16 days” and that case files “lacked the basic and necessary law enforcement queries.” In other words, no one was vetted if they could pony up. Just imagine how many really, really bad guys have come in this way.
The Daily Caller reported that Johnson, who had more than a decade under her belt working at the DHS, was investigating the United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS). More specifically, she was looking at a program called EB-5 that granted green cards to foreigners who invest $500,000 in the U.S, and discovered things that raised some red flags for her.

Trump Stands by Flynn Amid Federal Investigations Into Russia Ties
President Donald Trump tweeted support early Friday for Michael Flynn following a report Thursday night that the disgraced former national security adviser, who resigned after mischaracterizing interactions with Russian officials, has offered to testify to the FBI and Congress in exchange for immunity.
"Mike Flynn should ask for immunity," the president wrote, "in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!"
The Wall Street Journal first reported Flynn's offer to the FBI and the Senate and House intelligence committees, all of which are investigating his and other Trump team officials' alleged ties to the Russian government, based on an anonymous source familiar with the discussions. Flynn's lawyer, Robert Kelner, wouldn't confirm the offer to the Journal, but said the former Defense Intelligence Agency chief and Trump campaign aide "certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit."

Amnesty International warns U.S. coalition about Mosul civilian deaths
On Tuesday, human rights group Amnesty International said a recent sharp uptick in civilian deaths in Mosul, Iraq, suggests that the U.S.-led coalition isn't taking adequate care to avoid civilian casualties, a potential "flagrant violation of international humanitarian law." The U.S. military says it is investigating a March 17 airstrike in Mosul's Old City, called in by Iraqi forces trying to take the Western part of the city from the Islamic State; Iraqi officials say the death toll from that strike could hit 200 or more, making it one of the deadliest civilian attacks by the U.S. in Iraq.
The U.S. has confirmed the strike but not the casualties. "It is very possible that Daesh [ISIS] blew up that building to blame it on the collation," U.S. Army chief of staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters in Baghdad on Monday.

French Socialists Collapsing Just Weeks Before Election
France’s governing Socialist party was in tatters Thursday after former prime minister Manuel Valls spurned the party’s official presidential candidate and backed independent centrist Emmanuel Macron.
Valls’ endorsement of Macron seals the rift between what the former premier has described as “two irreconcilable lefts” — one still wedded to the class struggle, represented by presidential nominee Benoit Hamon, and another reformist camp led by Valls.
Successive Socialist leaders managed to hold the party together but under President Francois Hollande the tacit non-aggression pact between the two factions broke down, leaving the party in disarray.
Le Parisien newspaper said Valls’ repudiation of Hamon — a leftist rebel who quit the government in 2014 over its pro-business policies — was the “nail in the coffin” of the party.

After Brexit, 9 Reasons To Believe In Great Britain
by Daniel Stelter via Zero HedgeToday Mrs. May finally officially announced Brexit and kicked-off the process of divorce from the EU. A disaster for Britain, according to officials in Brussels, Berlin and Paris. Really?
Rarely there is such broad consensus: The British voters made a huge mistake in voting for Brexit. The country will suffer for decades to come and deeply regret the decision while the EU and the Eurozone will continue to generate prosperity and peace for the continent. This view is predominant in the media of continental Europe and it is the key massage of its politicians, who fear nothing more than that other countries might follow the British example. Therefore the costs for Brexit have to be high and punishing.
Whenever there is broad consensus it is worthwhile to challenge it. Could it be, that the British end up much better off, than we think? Here are ten reasons why: Read more >>>

146 African Migrants Feared Missing After Boat Capsizes in Med
About 146 migrants are feared missing after their boat capsized after leaving Libya, according to a Gambian man who was rescued following the disaster, the United Nations’ refugee agency said Wednesday. The man was rescued by a Spanish military ship participating in the EU’s “Operation Sophia” to crack down on smugglers, and then brought to the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The vessel left on Sunday or Monday from Sabratha, northwestern Libya, with five children and several pregnant women among those on board, the Gambian told a member of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees who met him at a hospital in Lampedusa. Most of the passengers were from Nigeria, Mali and The Gambia, he said.
He said that the boat began taking on water a few hours after setting off, and that he survived by holding on to a fuel can.
According to information gathered by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the man was spotted almost by accident by the Spanish ship, which then transferred him to the Italian coastguard. “It shows that there may very well be shipwrecks we don’t know about, because the boats sink without a trace,” Flavio de Giacomo, an IOM spokesman, told AFP.

Trump Signs Executive Order Rolling Back Obama's Climate Policies: Who Benefits The Most?
As discussed earlier, on Tuesday afternoon Donald Trump signed an executive order undoing most of Obama-era climate change regulations that his administration says is hobbling oil drillers and coal miners, a move environmental groups have vowed to take to court. The decree's main target is former President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan that required states to slash carbon emissions from power plants - a critical element in helping the United States meet its commitments to a global climate change accord reached by nearly 200 countries in Paris in 2015.
The so-called "Energy Independence" order also reverses a ban on coal leasing on federal lands, undoes rules to curb methane emissions from oil and gas production, and reduces the weight of climate change and carbon emissions in policy and infrastructure permitting decisions. Read more >>>

Operation Mosul: A Medieval Massacre
by Stephen Lendman
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described it this way weeks after US-led terror-bombing and Iraqi ground operations began last October – long before the worst horrors ongoing now. US-orchestrated operations are being conducted under “conditions of absolute information blockade,” Zakharova explained.
Nothing was done to protect, evacuate or otherwise help civilians. They’ve been on their own in harm’s way without humanitarian or any other type aid or consideration for their welfare and safety since last October. Hundreds of thousands remain trapped in the city. Others getting out risk their lives to do it – as endangered by US terror-bombing as ISIS fighters.
In the battle for Aleppo, Russia and Syria established humanitarian corridors – without aid from the UN or other countries. Great care was taken to avoid civilian casualties, why liberating the city entirely took so long. Moscow ceased aerial operations in October 2016 to protect civilians, long before the battle for Aleppo was won in late December.
The West and supportive media disgracefully portrayed a heroic Leningrad-type liberation as naked aggression.
They’re largely silent on the rape and destruction of Mosul. What’s reported falsely portrays liberation. Nothing about US terror-bombing mass murder. An orchestrated coverup of reality continues ... Read more >>>

Orwell Rolls in Grave as Police Roll Out Unprecedented Drone Air Force to “Track Anti-Social Behaviour”
The Devon and Cornwall police force, tasked with the patrol of the largest geographical area in England, are pioneering perpetual drone surveillance by establishing an unprecedented 24-hour drone surveillance of its patrol area set to begin this summer.
The police drones, also identified as “unmanned aerial systems,” have undergone smaller tests last year. Multiple reports state that the drones will mostly be used for locating crime suspects and missing persons as well as surveillance of crime scenes.
Steve Barry, the UK’s National Police Chiefs’ Council spokesman regarding police drones, touted the cost savings of choosing these devices rather than deploying police helicopters; according to a report from The Daily Mail, Barry predicts “forces across Britain would soon be using them as they are cheaper than helicopters and can perform some duties of bobbies on the beat.” The does not specify how deeply these police drones will be able to inspect individuals, including in regards to audio capacity.
The Mail noted that Barry has pondered the possibility of drones replacing some officers and said “there may be an opportunity at some point in the future to rationalise what we need our cops to do because we find drones can do it more effectively and more cost-efficiently.” However, Barry did not indicate that he approves of a reduced police force in favor of the devices, and other officers and experts were quoted in the report as viewing drones as a supplement for police rather than their replacement.

Westminster Murderer Is 52-Year-Old Brit With Prior Criminal Convictions
After yesterday's balls up, in which the man who murdered four people near the Houses of Parliament was incorrectly named as an Islamic "hate preacher" who is actually in prison, today UK police said that the man they believe to be responsible for the attack in Westminster yesterday has been formally identified as Khalid Masood.
Masood, aged 52 (Dec 25, 1964), was born in Kent and detectives believe he was most recently living in the West Midlands. Masood was also known by a number of aliases. Masood was not the subject of any current investigations and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.
However, as the Telegraph reports, he was known to police and has a range of previous convictions for assaults, including GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences. Read more >>>

EU Parliament Head Sets ‘Red Line’ on Citizens’ Rights Post-Brexit

In an interview with AFP, Italy’s Tajani said parliament would be a “protagonist” and hoped to hold its casting vote on a Brexit deal in late 2018 or early 2019.
“There is one sole red line: the interest of European citizens. There are no other red lines,” Tajani said late Wednesday at his office overlooking Brussels.The fate of 4.5 million citizens — both EU nationals in Britain and Britons living in the EU — threatens to be one of the thorniest issues in the Brexit talks.
Currently on both sides they have the right to live and work in each others’ countries, as well as receive benefits in many cases, but that is all at risk.British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to formally trigger the two-year divorce process from the European Union on March 29, beginning fevered negotiations.

Nunes: Trump transition members were under surveillance during Obama administration
Members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under U.S. government surveillance following November’s presidential election, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told reporters Wednesday.
Nunes said the surveillance appeared to be legal but that he was concerned because it was not related to the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election and was widely disseminated across the intelligence community.
“I have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the president-elect and his team were, I guess, at least monitored,” Nunes told reporters. “It looks to me like it was all legally collected, but it was essentially a lot of information on the president-elect and his transition team and what they were doing.”
Nunes said he is heading to the White House later Wednesday to brief Trump on what he has learned, which he said came from “sources who thought that we should know it.” Read more >>>

North African Migrants Allegedly Rape Milan Schoolgirl in Broad Daylight on Commuter Train
A 15-year-old schoolgirl was allegedly groped and raped by two North African migrants on the commuter train from Milan to Mortara Thursday afternoon.
On Saturday morning, the girl was hospitalized with multiple bruises, a concussion and a broken rib, and police have launched a search for the assailants accused of aggravated assault and sexual assault.
According to police reports, after school—around 4:00pm—the girl went to the Milan station of Porta Genova to catch the local commuter train home, sitting with a friend in the last carriage. When the friend got off the train at an earlier stop, the girl was left alone. It was then that two young men wearing jeans and hoodies, whom the girl described as North Africans in their mid-twenties, accosted her with kicks, punches, and “insistent fondling of the crotch.” Read more >>>

For example: * Amazon ECHO devices constantly listen to your most private conversations and process your voice by uploading segments of audio to Amazon.com servers. Law enforcement agencies have already sought to use audio recordings from ECHO devices to incriminate individuals for words they uttered in their own private homes [...] * Every Amazon service is collecting data about your likes and dislikes, including Amazon MUSIC.

Europe Accelerates Move To Begin Elimination Of Paper Money
While the world has been disracted by Donald Trump's eccentric style of doing politics, the European Union has quietly launched the next offensive in the war on cash. These unelected bureaucrats have boldly asserted their intention to crack down on paper transactions across the E.U. and solidify a trend that has been gaining momentum for years.
The financial uncertainty amplified by Brexit has incentivized governments throughout Europe to seize further control over their banking systems. France and Spain have already criminalized cash transactions above a certain limit, but now the commission has unilaterally established new regulations that will affect the entire union. The fear of physical money flowing out of the trade bloc has manifested a draconian response from the State.
The European Action Plan doesn’t mention a specific dollar amount for restrictions, but as expected, their reasoning for the move is to thwart money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Border checks between countries have already been bolstered to help implement these new standards on hard assets. Although these end goals are plausible, there are other clear motivations for governments to target paper money that aren’t as noble.
Negative interest rates and high inflation are a deadly combination that could further destabilize the already fragile union in the future. With less physical currency circulating, these trends ensure that the impact of any additional central bank policies will be maximized. If economic conditions deteriorate, the threat of citizens pulling cash out of their accounts and starting a bank run is eliminated in a cashless system. So long as the people’s wealth is under centralized control, funds can be shifted at will to conceal any underlying problems. But the longer this shell game is allowed to persist, the more painful it will be when reality overrides the manipulation.

Aging and graying Europe won’t close its doors to asylum seekers, as it needs immigration, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said, adding that Europeans had been migrants themselves “up to few years ago.”
“I believe Europeans should understand that we need migration for our economies and for our welfare systems, with the current demographic trend we have to be sustainable,” Mogherini said.
Mogherini, who was speaking at the Senior Officials Meeting at the Valletta Joint Action Plan 2017, was joined by Maltese Foreign Minister George Vella, as well as officials from Europe and Africa. The meeting was convened to deal with migration through cooperation with third countries.
Mogherini slammed the stance of immigration opponents as “based on confrontation, instead of cooperation; on building walls, instead of building partnerships; on closures and bans, rather than dialogue,” promising the Europe will instead take a “fair” and “humane” approach. Read more >>>

‘Hillary Clinton Means Devastation’: Marine Le Pen Backs Trump
Marine Le Pen has voiced her support for Donald Trump, warning that his rival Hillary Clinton would bring war and devastation to the world. Asked by CNN which U.S. candidate she supports, the Front National leader remarked that “everything but Hillary” would be better for France.
“As far as France’s best interest is concerned it’s, ‘Everything but Hillary Clinton’.
“It’s everything but Hillary Clinton because I believe Hillary Clinton means war, Hillary Clinton means devastation, destabilizing the world, economic choices that would be devastating for my people, geostrategic choices that would lead to global conflicts,” Ms. Le Pen said.
Ms. Le Pen, who is running as the populist, anti-mass migration and Islamisation candidate in the 2017 presidential elections next year, noted similarities between her campaign and Mr. Trump’s.
“What we have in common is that we’re not insiders, we are not taking part in the ‘system’, we depend on no one and do not take our orders from any financial institutions,” she told CNN in the interview taped and released yesterday.Marine Le Pen has voiced her support for Donald Trump, warning that his rival Hillary Clinton would bring war and devastation to the world.

"The Empire is befuddled," at Brexit, exclaims Nigel Farage, telling Alex Jones that the globalist establishment is clueless on how to regain control. In a wonderfully frank interview, Farage explained that the establishment's "problem is that it’s fighting this argument on several fronts at once.”
from Zero Hedge"We’ve got the American elections going on, we’ve got a big referendum coming up in Hungary on migrant quotas from Germany, we’ve got a rerun of the Austrian presidency where the right-wing candidate was cheated by false votes,” Farage said. “So they’ve got a real problem, they’re fighting us now on a whole series of fronts.”
“What will they do to fight back? I don’t know the answer to that yet, and you know something? Nor do they.”
“Brexit is the first strike-back against this phenomenon of the big banks, the big businesses, effectively owning politics, willfully destroying nation-state democracy, getting rid of that thing our forbearers actually fought and shed their blood to create and to preserve our liberties and our freedoms,” he continued. “All of that being taken away and suddenly in a referendum that no one said we could win, and we’ve done it.”
“What we’ve done is given inspiration to freedom fighters right across the Western World.”

Pro-Democracy Activist Captured By NSA In World’s First PRISM Raid
The NSA have confirmed their first ever capture of a pro-democracy target under the controversial surveillance operation, PRISM.
It has been three years since NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden shed light on the PRISM operation when he leaked a trove of documents outlining the U.S. government’s various methods for spying on American citizens.
PRISM was explained as a clandestine surveillance operation under which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) collects internet communications from at least nine major US internet companies.
Tony Fullman of New Zealand appears to be the world’s first individual targeted by the NSA under this operation.
Theintercept.com reports:
The extraordinary covert operation, revealed Sunday by Television New Zealand in collaboration with The Intercept, was launched in 2012 after New Zealand authorities believed they had identified a group planning to violently overthrow Fiji’s military regime.

The twilight of NATO
by Thierry Meyssan - Voltaire.net
The history of NATO and its current activities enables us to understand how the West has woven its lies and why it is now a prisoner of them. The elements contained in this articles are shocking, but it is impossible to deny the facts. The only other solution is to cling to the lies and persist in hanging on.
The Western states progressively extended their alliance, in particular by adding, in 1955, Western Germany, which had just been authorised to rebuild its army. Worried about the capacities of the Alliance, the USSR responded by creating the Warsaw Pact six years after the creation of NATO.
As a result, it became impossible to abandon these structures - NATO did not hesitate to use its Gladio network to organise various coups d’état and preventive political assassinations, while the Warsaw Pact openly invaded Hungary and Czechoslovakia, which had shown signs of wanting their independence ...

It Looks As If Demonising Russia Is All Discredited Hillary Clinton And Her Supporters Have Left
After the events, revelations and leaks (Democrat campaign computers hacked three times in a week) of the past month, the US Presidential election campaign of Hillary Clinton should lie in ruins. That it isn't may in some small way be due to the fact that her opponent is the equally unappetizing Donald Trump, but is more likely to be because mainstream media, the Hollywood attention seeker gang, (George Clowney, Brangelina, Bendydick Cumbertwat, all the usual suspects,)are solidly behind Clinton because all-join-hands-and-sing-Kumbaya.
The Clinton campaign has been getting predominantly positive coverage, while Trump's most innocuous remarks provoke screams of 'racism', 'sexism', 'homophobia. In spite of that Clinton seems unable to engage the white, working class voters who will decide the fate of the election.

Lead Attorney In Clinton DNC Fraud Case Mysteriously Found Dead
Call it conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton they wind up dead. In fact, as we noted previously, there’s a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances. While Vince Foster remains the most infamous, the body count is starting to build ominously this election cycle - from the mysterious "crushing his own throat" death of a UN official to the latest death of an attorney who served the DNC with a fraud suit.
As GatewayPundit's Jim Hoft reports, on July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters (this was before Wikileaks released documents proving the DNC was working against the Sanders campaign during the 2016 primary). Shawn Lucas was thrilled about serving the papers to the DNC before Independence Day...

Dutch Bonds Latest to Go Negative Amid New Financial Crisis Concerns
On Friday, yields on sovereign bonds from the Netherlands became the latest to turn negative, contributing to an unprecedented $13 trillion of negative-yielding debt that has fueled fears of a new global financial crisis.
A growing pool of negative-yielding debt is raising fears of a new financial crisis, which may have been stimulated by more cheap money having pooled in financial markets. Since the 2008 financial crisis, central banks around the world have tried to stimulate their economies by introducing more electronic money. However, the rise of negative bonds yields to unprecedented levels has led to concerns that the money has just delayed an inevitable crash, and is even doing more harm than good. On Monday Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid told clients that Dutch bonds are now offering the lowest rates the country has seen since it began keeping records in 1517.

Russia plans to issue more sovereign bonds later this year following its successful May issue, Russian Minister for Economic Development Aleksey Ulyukaev said on Friday. Investors who bought into Russia's sovereign bond sale in May have been vindicated after Euroclear admitted the bonds for settlement last week. The move is interesting because, unlike the USA and most nations in the democratic world, Russia is not running a current account deficit ...

This Is Going To Get Very Ugly" - Former Top CIA Officer Says "Obama Has Lost Control Of The Middle East
from Zero Hedge
With Thursday's tragic mass killing by a resclusive, truck-driving Tunisian maniac in Nice having been violently drowned out by the frentic late Friday news of a failed (and perhaps staged) coup in Turkey, the news cycle has once again shifted its attention away from a far greater threat to the global economy than whether Erdogan can concentrate even more power in his grasp. Namely, both lone-wolf and organized terrorism in Europe (and elsewhere). And according to at least one CIA field commander, Gary Bernsten, it is all Obama's fault.
As the Hill reports, the decorated former CIA career officer who served in the Directorate of Operations between October 1982 and June 2005, said on Friday that Obama has lost control of the Middle East following attacks in France that left at least 84 dead. "This is going to get very, very ugly," Gary Bernsten said on Fox & Friends Friday.
"The president of the United States, as Newt Gingrich has stated, has failed in his responsibilities to defend the United States. He has lost control of the Middle East. It is in flames, and that is what he will leave when he leaves office." One can also make the argument that it is not so much Obama, as his first secretary of state, the person who in less than 4 months may be America's next president.
We wonder what Bernsten would add after last night's even more disturbing events in Turkey.

Rise In Intercommunity Confrontations Mean "Civil War Is Inevitable" In France According To State Officials
In the wake of the latest Islamic terrorist outrage in Nice, some state officials in France are warning that if the government does not act to suppress Islamic extremist and regain control of immigrant areas in the cities there will be civil war. The nice attack, in which a Tunisian born French citizen drove a twenty tonne truck into crowds celebration Bastille Day in the costal town of Nice, left over 80 dead and many seriously injured. Like the Charlie Hedbo Massacre and Bataclan massacres in 2015, the perpetrators were living in france but Islamic State were involved at several levels.

This Exchange Proves The BBC, The Green Party and Friends Of The Earth Reject Free Speech
See independent climate expert Piers Corbyn treated appallingly by BBC Big Questions propaganda broadcast and shouted down by an audience packed with left wing activists. The BBC is so biased on a whole range of subjects from ‘climate change’ to Palestine, Syria and so on that it beggars belief. But here is a most blatant example played out over only a few minutes. BBC presenters take it as read that what the authorities say about alleged ‘human-caused climate change’ is true and that anyone who challenges this nonsense must be basically lunatics on the fringe.
Will Merkel's Migrant Mishaps Spring Germany's Right-Wing Party Into Power?
by Egbert Nobakon, 8 March 2016
Resuts from local elections held in Germany last weekend indicate that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in deep trouble. Her party, the Christian Democrats is losing votes to opponents from the right and left, largely because of the illegal immigrant crisis brought on by Merkel's crazy 'open doors' immigration policy which ahas resulted in Germany admitting criminals, terrorists and many illiterates, according to Werner Patzelt, a political analyst at the Technical University in Dresden. Patzelt, a political analyst at the Dresden-based Technical University, described the latest local elections in Germany as another indication of the fading influence of Chancellor Angela Merkel as the main beneficiary of her policy disasters is the anti immigration, anti EU party Alternatif fur deutschland (AfD) often described incorrectly as an extereme right wing group. In fact it is Merkel's Christian Democrats that have most resembled Hitler's National Socialists by trying to suspend the right of free speech and suggesting opponents of immigration be charged with crominal offences during the ongoing crisis. The interview came after the populist, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party finished a strong third in municipal elections in the country's central state of Hesse, held on March 6. According to Germany's state news outlet DW, Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats finished with 28.2 percent of the vote, ahead of the Social Democrats with 28 percent; Alternative for Germany obtained 13.2 percent of the vote, beating the powerful and well established Green party. The vote took place a ahead of elections to the state legislatures of Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt, which are scheduled for March 13. Results will determine if Merkel will survive as Chancellor or will be supplanted by a new leader. RELATED POSTS: Will Merkel’s Migrant Disaster Drive Germany’s AfD Into Power?

German Government Smartphone Spyware Monitors Citizens’ Calls, Typing AND Sees Through Their Cameras
The dirty news always leaks out. Here, after whistleblower sites chipping away at it fr several weeks, is official confirmation that the increasingly fascistic government of Germany has bought a software too enabling security agents to spy on people through their smartphones. That might not sound so bad until you remember the same government in Germany has recently discussed criminalising criticism of Islam and opposition to Merkel's open doors immigration policy and suppressing critics of EU policies. The German Interior Ministry has revealed a new “Bundestrojaner” or government trojan horse software that will enable security agencies to track the smartphone activities of anyone who downloads it. We understand Chancellor Merkel's government has also adopted an “off the shelf” tool from a company which is said to help authoritarian regimes track their citizens ...New German Government Smartphone Spyware Will Monitor Citizens’ Calls, Typing AND See Through Their Camera LensesIn Parallel With The Upheaval In European Politics, A Similar Cataclysm Is Happening In The USA Having reported for three or four years now the rise of the anti - Integration parties in European Union member nations, UKIP in Britain, the FN in France, AfD in Germany, Denmakr's Peoiple's Party, Five Star and the Liga Nord in Italy, the Sweden Democrats and others in every E U member state, we now look at what is going on in the USA as campaiging for the presidential election gathers pace.
Biological Man Set To Become National Union Of Students’ Women’s Representative
A straight, biological man is a hot favourite in the race to become the National Union of Students’ (NUS) Women’s officer. Anna Lee describes himself as a “queer trans disabled lesbian woman”, and is currently the LGBT officer at Lancaster University Student Union, having already spent two years on the national women’s committee. The NUS women’s campaign “exists to represent and extend and defend the rights of women students… led by women students in our governance and decision-making processes”, their website claims. Last year, Mr. Lee won a battle to share toilets with biological women at his University, despite being quite open about his sexual interest in them and retaining all his male biology. “I never believed that running to be national women’s officer was a possibility”, he said in a Facebook post lunching “Anna’s” campaign last week. “In my five years in the student movement, I have changed a lot – in fact, some might say it’s been a transformative experience ;)” explained the newly self-identifying women. Adding: “I know the Women’s Campaign is ready. I know NUS is ready. I’m not convinced that the rest of society is. “But – when the transphobic ‘feminists’ come and try to tear me down, I will just fight harder, and with the help of amazing activists we will show them”, wrote the self declared women. Mr. Lee was also one of the leaders of the NUS’s first ever transgender conference last year, and was even invited to give evidence to a Parliamentary committee on transgender issues.A Furious Turkey Says US Is "Acting Like An Enemy," Demands Washington Brand Kurds "Terrorists
To be sure, the effort to usurp the Bashar al-Assad government wasn’t exactly going as planned in the first place. Regime change always takes time, but the conflict in Syria was dragging into its fifth year by the time the Russians got directly involved and although it did indeed look as though the SAA was on the verge of defeat, the future of the rebellion was far from certain. But to whatever extent the rebels’ fate was up in the air before September 30, the cause was dealt a devastating blow when Moscow’s warplanes began flying sorties from Latakia and while Ankara and Riyadh were Read MorePresident Trump
Rod Little gets it; writing in the speccie, he's gunning for Trump for President - if only for the deep, unhealable grief it will cause the BBC mafia and Guardianistas. And all the others - those, as Liddle puts it, "who do not believe that it is even remotely legitimate to have a view which differs from their own."

Monbiot attempts to end his career by eating a kilo of GM Soya, and all the assorted spouses and offspring of left wing characters in employment at the BBC and print media rail and rant wholly ineffectually. It would be worth a year's pension to see.

This is a look at the larger picture of forces developing around Syria. Several foreign armies are aggregating at the Syrian borders with the intent to invade Syria and to occupy its eastern part. But before we dive into that, a short look at the curious situation developing in the north-west. Near Azaz the U.S. ally Turkey is currently shelling (video) the U.S. ally YPG which is fighting the CIA supported FSA. The Syrian-Kurdish YPG troops were heavily supported by the U.S. in their fight against the Islamic State in north-eastern Syria. Under U.S. tutelage they united with Arab anti-IS fighters under the label Syrian Democratic Forces. Read more >> RELATED POSTS: ISIS Turkey oil tradesISIS getting US weapons via Turkey
