Maxim Sokolov | Poland is ready to save the world from Russia | Polish Prime Minister Pan Morawiecki gave an interview to the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera, in which — to make it clearer to local readers — he reasoned completely in the manner of the local hero Cato the Elder. Who ended each of his speeches in the Senate — regardless of what issue it was devoted to — with the obligatory Ceterum censeo Carthaginem delendam esse — "Besides, I think that Carthage should be destroyed." And physiognomically, the Prime Minister, who in all his images looks like he has eaten something bad, has a rare portrait resemblance to Cato the Elder, who also probably suffered from malnutrition. But, unlike Cato, fixated on Carthage, Moravetsky thinks that Russia should be destroyed. He repeats this thought to the place and out of place — just like V. A. Zelensky completes all his speeches and in front of any audience with a request: "Give me money." [Moravetsky] explains: "What is happening in Ukraine is an existential threat both for Poland and for the whole of Europe. To completely destroy Russia is a necessary state need of both Poland and Europe." And no diplomacy can be appropriate here, because "they do not negotiate with terrorists." Only complete defeat and subsequent deputinization [sic], so that Russian imperialism would be destroyed by the roots and never threaten Poland and Europe again. [Translation: yandex.ru]

A fresh article alleging a US role in the explosions highlights the need for an international probe, Dmitry Peskov says | Russia is concerned by attempts to silently wind down the investigation into last year’s explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has said. A report by renowned American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, blaming the US for the sabotage, should spur attempts to find out what happened, he stressed. Articles such as the one by Hersh show 💬 “the need for an open international investigation into this unprecedented attack on this critical infrastructure,” Peskov told the media on Thursday. “It’s impossible to leave this without finding the perpetrators and punishing them.” Russia has already spoken about data which “points to the involvement of the Anglo-Saxons [the US and the UK]” in this incident, and there is “certain overlapping” between this information and the report by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, the Kremlin spokesman said.

■ РИА Новости | Flightradar Spotted P-8A Poseidon Near Nord Stream Explosion Site | Igor Korotchenko: "Taking into account that the route of American P-8A Poseidon was calculated with refuelling over Poland and all these moments had to be synchronised, one can say that its arrival at the scheduled time, immediately after the attack, indicates a pre-planned flight and, therefore, is another confirmation of the version put forward by the American journalist Hersh about the causes and circumstances of the attack. This once again proves the involvement of official US government agencies in this sabotage." ● "Vladimir Putin called the incident an apparent terrorist attack." (RIA Novosti)[DeepL.com]

■ Varvara Kuzmina | US Spy Plane Spotted After North Stream Explosion | "Russia has threatened consequences over the undermining of Nord Stream. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that Moscow would not leave the story of the undermining of Russian gas pipelines without consequences. He also stressed that Russia intended to seek access to the investigation. ● Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov also commented on the situation. He stressed the need for an open international investigation into the incident." (lenta.ru)[DeepL.com]

■ CaitlinJohnstone | Russia would stand nothing to gain by bombing its own pipeline whose gas flow it could control on its own end, while US officials are openly acknowledging that the US benefits from it directly. It's just so silly how imperial spinmeisters are falling all over themselves to dismiss a claim they all privately know is true because it's so glaringly obvious.
■ Ben Norton | In this video I discuss Seymour Hersh's bombshell report that the US blew up Nord Stream. I also look at other evidence he didn't mention. Norway & Poland opened their own Baltic pipeline hours after the sabotage. US is now the world's largest LNG exporter.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is demanding increased “surveillance” powers to track the public and monitor “the health of people, animals, and ecosystems.”–The unelected United Nations health agency argues that it needs new powers to track the public to handle “disease control” so governments can prepare in the event of another pandemic. | The WHO calls for new tracking powers in the latest zero draft of its international pandemic treaty. As Slay News has previously reported, the treaty will award the WHO with sweeping global powers if passed. Elsewhere in the treaty is WHO’s new plan to censor so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation” online. The treaty will give the unelected global organization new powers to “tackle” anything that it deems to be “false, misleading, misinformation, or disinformation.” The WHO will essentially get new legally binding censorship powers if the treaty passes.
