According to a report by the New York Times, Ukraine has confirmed the use of US-supplied weapons against targets in Russia. | Ukrainian lawmaker Yegor Chernev stated that Kyiv deployed HIMARS missile systems from the United States to strike a military facility in Russia. This move comes days after the White House authorized such actions. ● The strike, as reported by Chernev, targeted Russian missile launchers in the Belgorod region, located approximately 30 kilometers inside Russia's territory. This action marks a significant shift in strategy, given the longstanding reluctance of the Biden administration to escalate tensions with Russia, particularly due to its nuclear capabilities. ● For months, the ban on such strikes had been a red line for the Biden administration. However, last week, there was a partial shift in this stance. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby acknowledged this change but ruled out the possibility of the US reconsidering the ban on deeper strikes into Russian territory in the near future.

NATO is working on plans to rush tens of thousands of US forces along “land corridors” in Western Europe in the event of war with Moscow, a senior strategist has told The Telegraph | Last year, members of the US-led military bloc agreed to keep 300,000 troops ready for deployment, purportedly in response to a potential Russian attack. However, training exercises have exposed red tape and infrastructure bottlenecks that prevent the rapid transfer of personnel and materiel across the continent. ● NATO military leadership is therefore working to ensure that the flow of troops would not be stopped by likely Russian strikes on ports used by the US military to unload its cargos, The Telegraph daily reported on Tuesday. ● “It is clear that huge logistics bases, as we know it from Afghanistan and Iraq, are no longer possible because they will be attacked and destroyed very early on in a conflict situation,” Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, head of NATO’s JSEC logistics command, told the newspaper. ● The primary route for American troops in the event of war with Russia would be via the Dutch port of Rotterdam to Germany and Poland, the report said. Alternative corridors from Italy, Greece, and Türkiye would run through Slovenia and Croatia to Hungary Bulgaria, and Romania. There are also plans to involve Norway, Sweden, and Finland for backup logistics.

Lebanon has accused Israel of using controversial white phosphorus rounds, in attacks authorities say have harmed civilians and the environment. White phosphorus, a substance that ignites on contact with oxygen, can be used to create smokescreens and to illuminate battlefields. | Mohammad Hammud, in his late 70s, was at home with his wife in a south Lebanon border village when Israeli bombing hit. This time, the attack was different. 💬 "Fire broke out in front of the house... there was a strange smell... we had trouble breathing," he told AFP by telephone from his village of Hula. "We thought it was a regular bombing but when the emergency responders arrived they told us it was phosphorus and took us to hospital," he said. ● The Israeli military and Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah movement have been exchanging near-daily fire since Palestinian resistance group Hamas's unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war.

The attacks on al-Bureij refugee camp come as US says it awaits a response from Hamas regarding ceasefire talks | At least 66 people have been killed in Israel’s bombing on central Gaza over the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza has reported. ● The central refugee camps of al-Bureij and Maghazi were the most affected, as Israeli forces claim to be hitting Hamas targets while ground troops operate “in a focused manner with guidance from intelligence” in the al-Bureij area. ● Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, reportedly the only medical facility offering services in central Gaza, is currently “overflowing with wounded people”, many of whom are being treated on the floor, according to a spokesperson from the Gaza health ministry. ● Many displaced Palestinians have since fled al-Bureij, which is one of the places that hosted displaced Palestinians escaping the southern city of Rafah following Israel’s latest operations in the former shelter city. ● Israeli tanks have reportedly reached as far as the centre of Rafah, with questions arising over the US's alleged "red line" regarding Israeli attacks on the Palestinian city.

The former senior official worked with doctors who allegedly took advantage of a burgeoning black market, according to a report | A former Ukrainian deputy health minister is suspected of being involved in a criminal conspiracy to harvest human organs at hospitals, according to local media. ● The criminal group also included doctors, some of whom were employed by a prestigious clinic in Kyiv, the Ukrainian news outlet Strana said on Monday, citing sources in law enforcement. There are reportedly 11 suspects in the case, none of whom were named. ● “Organs were harvested from incapacitated people and sold. All members of the criminal group are facing charges under three articles of the criminal code. They may be punished by up to 12 years in jail,” one source said. ● Ukraine has become a hotbed for organ harvesting amid the conflict with Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged in an article last year. She argued that the Ukrainian government was facilitating the illegal trade after it significantly deregulated transplantation in 2021.

Katherine Watt | Orientation for new readers - American Domestic Bioterrorism Program - Tools for dismantling kill box anti-law | Hedley Rees is engaged an attempt to smear me and Sasha Latypova, and our work, at his Substack. I’ve posted several comments in the thread, some of which are below. ■ One reason why the smear campaigns are intensifying, I speculate, is that I’ve been writing more for a few months about the non-regulation of the entire worldwide biological product/vaccine manufacturing regulatory system, which has enabled the systematic poisoning of babies and children, since smallpox in early 1900s, polio in 1950s, and the metastizing “childhood immunization schedule” since then. ■ It’s all been immunotoxic junk for the whole time, not just since 2020 and the Covid vaccines. ■ As more people understand these legal facts and stop trusting US-FDA as de facto global regulator, taking vaccines and vaccinating their children, vaccine-related depopulation and enslavement projects will face new headwinds.
