Lawmakers argue that OnlyFans profits could help fund the military | Lawmakers in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine announced on Friday that they have collected enough signatures for a bill that would decriminalize the production of pornography. Lead sponsor of the proposal, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, has argued that the current laws encourage corruption and that legalizing porn could help raise funds for the military. ● Measure 9623 would amend Article 301 of Ukraine’s criminal code, which Zheleznyak called “nothing short of stupidity.” It does not change anything pertaining to child pornography, human trafficking, or prostitution. ● Thousands of Ukrainians are actively employed in the production of pornography. According to Zheleznyak, the state received over 34 million hryvnia ($920,000) in taxes in the first half of 2023 from sites such as OnlyFans, whose majority owner is Ukrainian-American businessman Leonid Radvinsky.

Court decisions supporting the conclusion that vaxx recipients are military targets, enemy combatants, chattel slaves or similar legal status in which consent is moot. | Introduction: Below are lightly-edited email exchanges from the last couple of weeks, about Bridges v. Houston Methodist Hospital as a primary indicator that the legal status of each recipient of unidentified, unregulated, injectable biochemical products has been something other than a ‘human subject’ or ‘clinical trial subject’ (in relation to a clinical investigator) or ‘patient’ (in relation to a physician). ● This has been true since January 2020 when then-HHS-Secretary Alex Azar established ‘public health emergency’ conditions on American soil, which remain in effect to the present and will remain in effect until Congress repeals 42 USC 247d, 21 USC 360bbb, and all their related statutory tentacles, through which Congress has transferred — to the HHS Secretary — unilateral, unreviewable power to declare and maintain public health emergency status and direct biochemical attacks on the American people camouflaged as ‘vaccination’ programs.

Fifty-one Million (51,000,000) citizens are REQUIRED to participate to practice evacuating to shelters or underground safe spaces during the 20-minute exercise. | The drill, scheduled for 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 23, will see many drivers required to pull over to the side of roads and the exits to subway stations closed with commuters required to remain inside, a statement from the South Korean Interior Ministry said. ● The release said the 20-minute drill is part of a larger exercise to test the South Korean government’s response to potential threats including “advanced nuclear missile threats, cyber attacks, drone terrors, etc.” ● The prime minister also called on South Koreans to take the drills seriously, something that hasn’t always been the case. ● The Interior Ministry said 17,000 shelters would be open nationwide, and locations are searchable in popular Korean online apps. ● The South Korean prime minister said the civil defense drill would be held in conjunction with large-scale US-South Korea military exercises that have drawn sharp criticism from Pyongyang in the past. ● It will also come less than a week after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol travels to the United States for a trilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, where “the continued threat posed by” North Korea will be on the agenda, according to a White House statement.

Tower of Basel. Author: Adam Lebor.

Katherine Watt / Bailiwick News | I think it’s a very good and useful book, but did find it helpful to translate the statements he reports about the benevolent intentions of the men who set up the BIS to their actual, malevolent intentions. For example, prior to Covid, I would have simply accepted their statements about the need to have centralized finance and governance in Europe for the purpose of preventing more world wars, at face value. And that was one of their key arguments to generate political support, or at least political inertia, among the governments that eventually formed what’s now the European Union. ● Having seen through those kinds of benevolent/malevolent lies by means of Covid, it’s easier to do those translations while reading Lebor’s book and get even more depth of understanding out of his reporting. ● Taking the same example, the actual purpose of the EU centralization project was to further the long-term BIS owners’ goals of population control and the stripping of national identity and national sovereignty that stand in their way. And they fomented the world wars to create the pretexts for the ensuing centralization of power. ● BIS owners have made the same types of argument as to why the bank must be chartered outside of all national legal systems, through international treaties that make it a law unto itself. They say that control of international finance is too important to be subject to governments that change and shift in response to political forces, suggesting that they are somehow not also political in nature, and engaged in a geopolitical project to carry out their own geopolitical ideologies.
