An Irish language teacher is fined for refusing to answer in English when questioned by the RUC | In May 1984, 27 year old teacher Breandán Ó Fiaich was stopped at an Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) checkpoint in Belfast and spoke only in Irish when questioned. Breandán Ó Fiaich was summonsed to court and demanded an interpreter. Resident magistrate Basil McIvor refused the request saying that he could not accept that a man from Belfast could not speak or at least understand English. ● A member of the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) and two RUC policemen gave evidence about questioning Mr Ó Fiaich about his identity and movements. They say he replied in a language that they assumed to be Irish. The RUC officers also said that they had heard Mr Ó Fiaich speak in English [to his solicitor] while he was in custody. ● Mr Ó Fiaich was fined £50 for failing to give information to members of Her Majesty’s Forces. The fine was paid by a student who had offered to act as an interpreter despite Mr Ó Fiaich saying that he did not want to pay the fine. ● Speaking in Irish to RTÉ News after the hearing, Mr Ó Fiaich said that he understands Irish better than English would do the same again if stopped by the police or troops.

Après l’alerte initiale des espagnols de la Quinta Columna c’est enfin un labo anglais qui confirme la présence non déclarée de graphène dans les « toxins ». Presque en fin d’article lien d’une une revue indépendante qui démontre la toxicité du graphène. | Les vaccins Covid-19 ont fait l’objet d’un examen médico-légal au Royaume-Uni et un rapport de laboratoire confirme qu’ils contiennent des nanomatériaux de graphène, qui peuvent pénétrer les barrières naturelles de l’organisme et endommager le système nerveux central, et de l’oxyde de graphène qui peut endommager les organes internes, endomager le sang, déclencher un cancer et provoquer des mutations génétiques, parmi nombre d’autres effets délétères. ● Une analyse plus approfondie du Dr Phillipe van Welbergen conclue que le graphène se transmet des vaccinés aux non vaccinés, pouvant détruire les globules rouges et provoquer des caillots sanguins.

They injected mice with a flu mRNA LNP "vaccine" and found it altered the immune system in unexpected ways. They tracked these changes to still be present in even the 4th litter. And only one of the parents, either male or female needed to be vaxxed in order to produce a vax baby.

💬 Hundreds of millions of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine doses have already been administered to humans. However, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the immune effects of this platform. The mRNA-LNP-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is highly inflammatory, and its synthetic ionizable lipid component responsible for the induction of inflammation has a long in vivo half-life.[...]

A team of psychological researchers from Australia is delving into the mindset of those who refuse to buy the notion that man-made climate change is quickly creating an unlivable, barren wasteland on Earth. Researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast looked to explain why such “cranks” continue to deny what they call “the reality of climate change, its causes, impacts and the need for mitigatory action.” According to the researchers, climate change skeptics were guilty of using “mental gymnastics” in order to deny what they called “the near-universal agreement among scientists on the reality and impact of climate change.” ● Near universal? Really? What about the 1,100 scientists — including a Nobel laureate — who recently signed a declaration proclaiming “there is no climate emergency?” Among those scientists were 134 signatories from Australia, the same nation the participants in the survey were from. The researchers found one very interesting result: Those who actually study an issue instead of blindly relying on government propaganda were actually more likely to be skeptical of so-called climate change. “Contrary to our predictions, people with high analytical abilities were even more likely to be sceptical about this,” stated study authors Nunn and Sharman in a piece for The Conversation. [...] “Those with stronger individualistic worldviews — their priority is individual autonomy as opposed to a more collectivist worldview — were more sceptical about humans causing climate change,” the authors stated.

The world is a confusing place. People do things that don’t make any sense, think things that aren’t supported by facts, endure things they do not need to endure, and viciously attack those who try to bring these things to their attention. If you’ve ever wondered why, you’ve come to the right place. ● Any casual reader of the alternate media landscape will eventually come up with a reference to Stanley Milgram, or Philip Zimbardo, the “Asch Experiment” or maybe all three. ● “Cognitive Dissonance”, “Diffusion of Responsibility”, and “learned helplessness” are phrases that regularly do the rounds, but where do they come from and what they mean? ● Well, here are the important psycho-social experiments that teach us about the way people think, but more than that they actually explain how our modern world works, and just how we got into this mess.

This special project was launched to shed light on what has happened in Donbass over the past eight years, with the aim to show not only episodes of crimes by the Kiev regime against the civilian population, but also to explore the roots of the disaster occurring in the region.

We Will Be Gods - Yuval Noah Harari | "Yuval Noah Harari, lead advisor to Klaus Schwab….Strongly deceived and carries the spirit of ANTI-Christ around with him. Lover of self and thinking that he can alter God’s creation of mankind by merging humans with AI to make God’s image bearers “better”. Anyone who thinks God’s creation needs to be altered or “corrected” will not fare well when they stand face to face with him at the appointed time unless they change their way of thinking (repent). You can see how easily pushing Antichrist will be in the 7 year Tribulation (Time of Jacob’s/Israel’s Trouble)."

[Comment by "Less Prone":] The people in the ranks of the Usury Cabal Satanic cult are a motley group and doesn't represent just one race. Some things they have in common; greed, self-righteousness, cunning, Satanic occultism that goes together with abuse, torture, blood sacrifice and pedophilia, psychopathy or sociopathy. However, one has to acknowledge that it requires intelligence to take over all humanity under their rule, but intelligence falls short of wisdom. They have, in their smug illusions of superiority, not realized that all deception starts with self-deception. Setting themselves separate from and above of the rest of humanity they justify all their crimes. And it does not stop even there.

Lawmakers in Bern have approved the controversial purchase of US fighter jets without waiting for a public vote on the issue | Swiss legislators have given final approval for the country’s controversial purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the US, ignoring a successful petition drive that was supposed to force a public vote on the issue. ● Switzerland’s lower house National Council voted to approve the $6 billion deal with US defense contractor Lockheed Martin on Thursday. The upper house, the Council of States, had previously approved the purchase of 36 F-35s. ● The Swiss government, which received voter approval in 2020 to modernize the country’s fleet of fighter jets at a cost of up to $6.3 billion, reached a preliminary agreement with Lockheed Martin last year after choosing the F-35 over France’s Rafale, Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and the multinational Eurofighter Typhoon. ● Opponents have argued that although voters narrowly approved the fleet's modernization, they didn’t agree to the F-35, which has been branded too expensive and not a good fit for militarily neutral Switzerland’s defense-focused air force.

Plans concocted by the special services reveal Kiev’s aggressive strategy over many years | As Ukrainian documents now at the disposal of the media show, Moscow apparently had something to defend itself from when it launched its offensive in Ukraine. Over the past eight years, Kiev’s military and special services have been preparing numerous operations aimed at undermining Russia’s international ties, and internal peace itself. ● In June, a hacker Telegram channel dubbed ‘Beregini’ published the action plan of the Information and Psychological Operations Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SSO). According to official information, the tasks of this unit include working with the population of foreign countries, creating agent networks, and infiltrating special services and military organizations to conduct espionage and destroy people who pose a threat to the Ukrainian government (including in other countries), as well as preparing coups and the overthrow of regimes. ● The SSO plan was prepared back in 2017, and this is just one of many similar secret documents created by Ukrainian spooks. It was just one that became public. But the presence of these plans and the real political and military steps taken by Ukraine, which coincide with SSO programs to a surprising extent, indicate that KI’ve has been actively carrying out anti-Russian activities since at least 2014, when a Western-backed coup took place in the country.

The US President has called on technology giants to crack down on the “venom and violence” of white supremacy | Biden has long insisted that such extremists are “the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland,” and the president referenced several high-profile incidents to reinforce his argument, like the vehicle attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 and racially motivated shootings by white gunmen in Texas in 2019 and New York this year – the latter of which was livestreamed by the killer on Twitch.

However, FBI crime statistics show that white Americans do not disproportionately commit hate crimes compared to other races, and are the least likely demographic group to commit homicide against other races. The above statistics are raw totals, meaning the disparity in crime rates between whites and other races is even starker considering whites make up 58% of the US population, with Hispanics accounting for 18%, African-Americans 12.5% and other races 11.5%.

Military officials say 440 unmarked graves found in liberated city in east Ukraine (UPI): Ukrainian authorities say that a burial site with at least 440 unmarked graves has been found in a city in eastern Ukraine, which was recently among the many areas retaken from Russian forces. ● Ukraine's ministry of defense announced the discovery via Twitter on Thursday, stating the mass graves were found in the eastern city of Izyum days after the city was liberated. The ministry posted pictures showing wooden crosses planted upon mounds of earth spread around a forest. ● Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications said the graves belonged mostly to civilians and were "fresh." "This is not a 'special military operation,' but a series of horrendous crimes against humanity," the center said in a statement.

The Nazis refuses to take their dead (Mighty_RussiaOP -Telegram): 💬 "I have repeatedly written when that the command of the Nazis refuses to take their dead. That they are lying around in forests and plantings and that our command repeatedly went to the command of the Nazis with a request to send funeral teams to collect the dead, we will give a corridor. To which the Nazis responded with silence. After that, we ourselves collected and buried the decaying Nazis. Because they stank terribly. As for civil burials. If the Nazi bastards carry out an exhumation, they will see that all the buried have shrapnel wounds, which they received for 5 months in a row from continuous shelling from the side of the ukreich. After that, it is obvious that there is only one single "correct" version of what is happening. Just for those who have ears, I'm talking. He who has ears, let him hear. P. S. Notice: The "occupiers" put up a cross and signed the burial, and did not bury the Nazis in an unnamed pit like dogs. As real Ukro-Europeans do."

Kiev passes off dead Ukrainian troops as victims of Russian ‘repressions’ — Civic Chamber (TASS): Ukrainian authorities are attempting to pass off Ukrainian soldiers killed in action in the Kharkov Region as victims of alleged repressions by Russia, member of the Russian Civic Chamber Alexander Malkevich told TASS on Friday. ● On Thursday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recorded a video address in English where he claimed that a mass grave had been allegedly discovered in Izyum. On Friday, the representatives of foreign media outlets were brought there. According to Malkevich, this was necessary in order to promote this issue in the foreign press and accuse Russia of mass slaughter. 💬 "We are being shown multiple graves, they begin to dig them up, show the bodies. Actually, Russian troops and frequently the officials from military-civilian administrations were burying those killed Ukrainian soldiers that were abandoned on a battlefield by their so-called comrades. Now they are being passed off as the victims of Russian repressions while actually those are the Ukrainians whom their so-called comrades-in-arms didn’t care about," he said.

Zelensky aide says civilian officials in Russian-controlled territory are “legitimate targets” | The government in Kiev was behind the deadly shelling in Kherson and organizing the murder of two pro-Russian civilian officials in Berdyansk on Friday, Mikhail Podoliak, an aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, confirmed in an interview. However, Podoliak insisted these were not acts of terrorism but legitimate strikes against purely military targets.

💬 “Everything that happened in Berdyansk, in Melitopol, in Kherson — those are all absolutely legitimate military targets. Those are certainly not terrorist or, strictly speaking, criminal acts,” Podoliak said.

At least three people were killed and 13 were wounded on Friday morning when five missiles from the US-supplied HIMARS launchers struck the administration building in Kherson, which is under Russian control. Most of them were civilian passers-by, local authorities said. ● Kirill Stremousov, the deputy chair of the military-civilian administration, says the strike was intended to take him out. He survived only by chance, having accepted an invitation to appear in a TV talk show at the time of the shelling. ● Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Ukraine has engaged in “terrorist attacks” against civilians and infrastructure, including attempts to damage nuclear facilities inside Russia. This behavior was unacceptable, he said, and if Kiev persists it will receive a “more serious” response from Moscow than a handful of “sensitive strikes” that damaged power stations and dams this week.

Germany seized the local unit of Russian oil major Rosneft PJSC as Berlin moves to take sweeping control of its energy industry, secure supplies and sever decades of deep dependence on Moscow for fuel. ● Alongside its THEFT of the Rosneft unit, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration is in advanced talks to take over Uniper SE and two other major gas importers, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. Germany is pressing ahead with an historic overhaul of its economy just two and half years after the Covid-19 pandemic, outright stealing a huge chunk of its industrial base to prevent shortages and blackouts this winter. ● A decision on the next moves could come within days.

The attack by Azerbaijan against Armenia is already escalating very severely. That attack commenced on Tuesday. Yesterday, Iran began mobilizing troops to protect its border with Armenia and told Azerbaijan they will "not tolerate a change in Armenia geography." ● Today, Turkey began moving 45,000 Reserve troops because they support Azerbaijan, and Iran upped the ante by commencing movement of heavy armor to back-up its troops. ● Within days, the world could see the outbreak of yet another war; this on the south side of Russia . . . which is precisely what NATO. the EU and the USA want, so as to create havoc and require Russia to fight two wars on two fronts. ● This all due to Russia entering Ukraine to de-Nazify it.

Hal Turner Analysis and Editorial Opinion | We are now clearly seeing actual evidence of World War 3 preparations. OUR GOVERNMENT in the USA, conspiring with governments in Europe, are literally moving troops and armor into position to fight a war against Russia, which WILL lead to nuclear war. Russia has told the world form the beginning that if NATO comes against Russia, "it will be a war that no one will win." Those were the precise words of Russian President Vladimir Putin. As most readers know all-to-well, the only "war that no one will win" is a nuclear war. Yet our government is preparing to take actions that will result in exactly that.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit has been taking place on 15 and 16 September in Uzbekistan's city of Samarkand. The event has been attended by leaders of SCO member states, observer states and other invited guests.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has entered its second and final day. SCO leaders will take part in a group photograph on Friday, and then hold a meeting at which not all members will be present. There will be a meeting for all members later and they will also sign the Samarkand Declaration, which confirms the positions of the participating countries on the most important regional and global issues. ● The SCO, which was founded in 2001, is a successor of the Shanghai Five group - founded in 1996 - and now has nine members: India, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Iran, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. ● Afghanistan, Belarus, and Mongolia are observer states; Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia, Egypt Nepal, Qatar, Turkey and Sri Lanka are dialogue partners. Iran applied to be a full member at the SCO summit in Dushanbe in September 2021, and the bid by Saudi Arabia - launched at the same summit - is still pending. This year, Belarus officially applied to join the SCO as a full member.

The latest shipment was sent to Iraq in batches through the illegal al-Mahmoudiyeh crossing connecting Hasakah with northern Iraq, said the report. Last week, according to SANA, more than 300 oil tankers were sent from the U.S.-controlled Syrian oil fields in Hasakah to U.S. bases in Iraq. | In Syria, people have struggled to secure gas for cooking and fuel for their cars and businesses. The scarcity of fuel also causes long daily power cuts. ● On Aug. 8, the Syrian oil ministry said in a statement that U.S. forces were stealing 80 percent of Syria’s oil production. ● U.S. forces and their mercenaries are stealing an average of 66,000 barrels of oil daily in Syria. It added that the country’s average daily oil production is estimated to have reached 80,000 barrels in the first half of 2022. ● On Aug. 29, the Syrian oil ministry said in a statement that the U.S. practices in Syria, including its unlawful trafficking of Syrian oil, have so far caused direct and indirect losses of about 107.1 billion U.S. dollars to Syria’s oil and gas sectors.

COVID-19 is a “biological weapon” for which the U.S. federal government is responsible, according to prominent COVID-establishment critic Dr. Peter McCullough | An internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist known for analyzing and commenting on developments in the COVID outbreak and the policy response, McCullough gave a recent interview to journalist Kristi Leigh to discuss the book he co-authored with John Leake, The Courage to Face COVID-19.

💬 “It was a government operation that created SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein,” McCullough declared. “It’s the U.S. government that did it. And they were working on the threat and working on the response … this was all planned … SARS-CoV-2 is a biological weapon.”

Early in the pandemic, the theory that COVID originated in a Chinese lab rather than nature was bitterly condemned as harmful misinformation. But by mid-2021, as evidence mounted, mainstream voices began to acknowledge it as a possibility.

New rule hopes to cut down on terminations | From today, all women in Hungary who want an abortion must listen to the baby’s heartbeat before going through with the procedure. The new rule came into force after an announcement by Minister of the Interior Sándor Pintér.

💬 “The presented medical findings must record that the healthcare provider presented the factor indicating the vital functions of the fetus to the pregnant woman in a clearly identifiable manner,” said the minister.

Pintér asserted that a new law wasn’t necessary to mandate the requirement, which is merely a continuation of the 1992 abortion law. ● However, Tímea Szabó, co-chair of the left-wing Párbeszéd party, believes the rule is a pre-cursor to a total ban on abortion and has called for it to be rescinded.

DECLARATION OF INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CRISIS DUE TO THE DISEASES AND DEATHS CO-RELATED TO THE “COVID-19 VACCINES”: We, the medical doctors and scientists from all over the world, declare that there is an international medical crisis due to the diseases and deaths co-related to the administration of products known as “COVID-19 vaccines”. ● We are currently witnessing an excess in mortality in those countries where the majority of the population has received the so called “COVID-19 vaccines”. To date, this excess mortality has neither been sufficiently investigated nor studied by national and international health institutions. ● The large number of sudden deaths in previously healthy young people who were inoculated with these “vaccines”, is particularly worrying, as is the high incidence of miscarriages and perinatal deaths which have not been investigated. ● A large number of adverse side effects, including hospitalisations, permanent disabilities and deaths related to the so-called “COVID-19 vaccines”, have been reported officially. ● The registered number has no precedent in world vaccination history.

Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign countries cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the virus. But that was the imposed “solution” which was implemented in several stages from the very outset of the corona crisis in January 2020. It’s the destruction of people’s lives. It is the destabilization of civil society. ● Fake science was supportive of this devastating agenda. The lies were sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant and Repetitive “Covid alerts” in the course of the last two years. ● The historic March 11, 2020 lockdown triggered economic and social chaos Worldwide. It was an act of “economic warfare”: a war against humanity.

● This diabolical agenda has undermined the sovereignty of nation states.
● It has contributed to a wave of bankruptcies. It has impoverished people Worldwide.
● It has led to a spiralling dollar denominated global debt.
● The powerful structures of global capitalism, Big Money coupled with its intelligence and military apparatus are the     driving force.
● Using advanced digital and communications technologies, the lockdown and “closure” of the global economy is    unprecedented in World history.

A US Senate report outlining the CIA’s brutal ‘enhanced interrogation’ methods will not see the light of day – for now | A US federal judge has ruled that a sprawling congressional report on the CIA’s Terror War torture program will remain classified, claiming citizens have no right to access the controversial document, portions of which were already leaked to the public by a Democratic senator in 2014. In a decision on Thursday, District of Columbia Judge Beryl Howell said the report...

...💬 “does not qualify as a public record subject to the common law right of public access,” as a previous case concluded it was a “congressional record” and therefore could not be obtained through standard Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. ● “The Report contains highly classified information about the CIA’s detention and interrogation policies and procedures that would compromise national security if released, far outweighing the public’s interest in disclosure,” the judge wrote in her opinion.

The 6,700-page Senate report details the CIA’s clandestine detention and torture programs launched after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, during which countless foreign suspects were swept up into secretive ‘black site’ prisons overseas and subjected to extreme, and often barbaric, interrogation measures. Few of those cases ever resulted in formal charges for the accused, many of whom were apparently held at the agency’s own discretion, well beyond the reach of the American criminal justice system or the international laws of war.

💬 "This report examines a range of possible means to extend Russia. As the 2018 National Defense Strategy recognized, the United States is currently locked in a great-power competition with Russia. This report seeks to define areas where the United States can compete to its own advantage. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data from Western and Russian sources, this report examines Russia's economic, political, and military vulnerabilities and anxieties. It then analyzes potential policy options to exploit them — ideologically, economically, geopolitically, and militarily (including air and space, maritime, land, and multidomain options). After describing each measure, this report assesses the associated benefits, costs, and risks, as well as the likelihood that measure could be successfully implemented and actually extend Russia. Most of the steps covered in this report are in some sense escalatory, and most would likely prompt some Russian counter-escalation. Some of these policies, however, also might prompt adverse reactions from other U.S. adversaries — most notably, China — that could, in turn, stress the United States. Ultimately, this report concludes that the most attractive U.S. policy options to extend Russia — with the greatest benefits, highest likelihood of success, and least risk — are in the economic domain, featuring a combination of boosting U.S. energy production and sanctions, providing the latter are multilateral. In contrast, geopolitical measures to bait Russia into overextending itself and ideological measures to undermine the regime's stability carry significant risks. Finally, many military options — including force posture changes and development of new capabilities — could enhance U.S. deterrence and reassure U.S. allies, but only a few are likely to extend Russia, as Moscow is not seeking parity with the United States in most domains."

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman warned that Russia reserved the right to defend its territory "by all available means" | Possible supplies of longer-range missiles to Kiev by Washington will be tantamount to crossing a red line and making the United States a direct party to the conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Thursday, adding that in this case Moscow would be forced to react "appropriately.💬 "Possible supplies of missiles to the Kiev regime are identical to a situation in which European countries might host US-made ground-launched missiles, previously banned under the treaty on intermediate and shorter-range missiles, capable of hitting targets on Russian territory," Zakharova added.

Ukraine Seeks Longer-Range Missile System From the US for Future Offensives (09/14/22) Ukraine has made major requests for new weapons it wants from the US, including a longer-range missile system, as it plans to launch more offensives in 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. ● According to a document presented to US lawmakers, among the weapons Ukraine wants is the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, a surface-to-surface missile system that has a range of about 190 miles, significantly longer than any arms Washington has provided Kyiv up to this point. ● The US has previously denied requests from Ukraine to send ATACMS over concerns they could be used to target Russian territory. But Washington has demonstrated throughout the conflict its willingness to escalate support for Kyiv despite the risk of provoking a response from Moscow. ● The HIMARS systems that the US has been sending Ukraine have a range of 50 miles and were provided with the condition that they won’t be used to hit targets inside Russia, although the restriction doesn’t apply to Crimea, which Moscow has controlled since 2014.
