A
SMIT salvage team has arrived on site of the decaying FSO Safer in the Red Sea
where they will begin the operation to remove over one million barrels of oil
from the vessel.SMIT Salvage, a subsidiary of Dutch maritime services company
Boskalis, signed an agreement with the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) in April for the operation. Th oil removal phase of the operation is
being carried out by crews on board Boskalis’ multi-purpose cable laying vessel
Ndeavor. The operation from here will involve an initial onsite inspection
before transferring the oil to a UN-purchased Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC),
which recently departed China for the mission. David Gressly, UN Resident and

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus - WHO chief
may face genocide charges
Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus insists that he is on the side of peace. An American economist
nominated for the Nobel peace prize has called for the head of the World Health
Organisation to be prosecuted for genocide over his alleged involvement in
directing Ethiopia’s security forces. David Steinman accused Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, 55, who took over at the WHO three years ago, of being one of
three officials in control of the Ethiopian security services from 2013 to
2015. Dr Tedros was the country’s health minister from 2005 to 2012 and its
foreign minister until 2016, when his Tigray People’s Liberation Front party
was the main member of the ruling coalition. Mr Steinman, an economist and
campaigner nominated for the peace prize last year, lodged the complaint at the
International Criminal Court in The Hague...

Germany’s economic and moral collapse
is a warning we must heed
The
Green-Left coalition is printing money to pay for the price rises caused by its
own policies, in order that its industry does not immediately collapse. Does
this look like a 'sustainable development' to you? The news that Germany is
entering recession is hardly surprising. It is run by a Green-Left coalition
whose aim has been the deindustrialization of the country since they took power
in September 2021. How is that going? Having closed the last remaining nuclear
power stations, Germany has replaced pipeline gas with coal, which now powers a
third of its electricity needs. What is more, the predictable collapse of its
industry threatens the core funding model of the European Union itself. Pipe

High school students are beginning to
resist the LGBT propaganda being forced on them
A
school in Oregon has asked boys to stop vandalizing the tampon dispensers that
have been installed in their bathrooms. Featured ImageLakeridge High School in
Oregon recently ran into an interesting problem: boys were ripping tampon
dispensers off the walls of their bathrooms and dumping them in the toilet. The
school has formally asked the boys to stop destroying the free menstrual
products they are being provided with, and gave parents resources on
“menstruation, menstrual products, sexuality, and health” in order to help them
explain to their children that menstruation is normal for a “person that has a
uterus.” Why are there tampon dispensers in the boys’ bathroom to begin with?
Oregon’s 2021 “Menstrual Dignity Act” requires all public schools to provide
all students regardless of “gender, age, ability [and] socioeconomic status”
with menstrual products in order to promote “privacy, inclusivity, access and
education.” The educational impact of putting tampon dispensers in boys’
bathrooms, of course, is to inform children that boys can have periods, which
is to say that girls can be boys...

Guam Typhoon Highlights Threat To
US Military’s Pacific Strategy
https://gcaptain.com/guam-typhoon-highlights-threat-to-us-militarys-pacific-strategy/
As
Typhoon Mawar neared the coast of Guam early Wednesday, it also drew attention
to an uncomfortable fact of US military strategy: Many of America’s most
strategic assets are in places increasingly threatened by extreme weather
events, rising seas and other consequences of climate change. The Navy moved
ships out to sea before the storm hit, standard procedure when bases prepare
for hurricanes. The storm generated winds of 175 miles per hour (282 kilometers
per hour) — the National Weather Service’s offices were “vibrating,” an official
said — and waves of at least 60 feet (18 meters). It caused significant
flooding in Guam, endangering residents and putting new demands on the
military. It isn’t the first time and it’s unlikely to be the last. In 2019, a
Department of Defense report on climate impacts noted that repeated flooding at
Naval Base Guam was already limiting operations and activities for the Navy
Expeditionary Forces Command Pacific, the island’s Andersen Air Force Base,
submarine squadrons, telecommunications, “and a number of other specific tasks
supporting mission execution.” Considered one of the most critical US military
installations in the western Pacific, Guam has for 125 years extended US
sovereignty 8,000 miles from Washington. The island is about 2,100 miles from
the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. It is closer still to Taiwan, which
President Joe Biden has committed to

Researchers Detect 5,000 Species Threatened By Deep Sea Mining
https://gcaptain.com/researchers-detect-5000-species-threatened-by-deep-sea-mining/
Researchers have released the
first tally of deep ocean animals that inhabit the seabed targeted for strip
mining, finding more than 5,000 species — nearly all of them unknown to
science. The peer-reviewed paper published in the journal Current Biology on
Thursday highlights the lack of scientific knowledge about the biodiversity of
the deep ocean, and arrives as the United Nations-affiliated International
Seabed Authority (ISA) prepares to allow mining to commence as soon as next
year. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea established the ISA in 1994 with
a mandate to manage the exploration and exploitation of the seabed in
international waters while at the same time ensuring the effective protection
of the marine environment. The scientists estimated there may be more than
8,000 species living in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a region of the
Pacific Ocean that stretches from Hawaii to Mexico. Of the 5,580 species so far
detected, only 438 have been identified, according to the study....

Iran Unveils Kheibar Medium-Range
Ballistic Missile with Radar-Evading Equipment
https://www.deagel.com/news/n000022482
New
rocket ‘Kheibar’ was showcased at a ceremony with Defense Minister Mohammad
Reza Ashtiani in attendance. Iran has showcased a new ballistic missile named
‘Kheibar’ that reportedly boasts a range of over 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers)
and carries a payload of 1.5 tons. According to a report by Iran’s state-run
media outlet IRNA, the rocket needs relatively little time to be prepared for
launch, meaning that it can be used as both a strategic and a tactical weapon.
The country’s Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, who was present at the
unveiling ceremony on Thursday, said that the missile is the result of a
years-long endeavor by its Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO). The
official also noted that the ‘Kheibar’ rocket can penetrate enemy air defenses
thanks to the radar-evading equipment on board. Ashtiani pointed out that
Tehran is “taking steps to equip the armed forces in various areas of missiles,
drones, air defense,” with more weapons systems to be revealed to the public
down the line. Back in February, Amirali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran’s

Partnership To Expand Global Pandemic
Preparedness in Era of Climate Change
S$
5M investment will accelerate priority projects of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and
Epidemic Intelligence to drive global collaboration in genomic surveillance,
adoption of data tools for pathogen detection, and assessment of
climate-aggravated outbreak threats. GENEVA | May 23, 2023 – The Rockefeller
Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO) have announced a new
partnership to strengthen the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence.
As part of the collaboration, the Foundation is investing US$ 5M in partners
working with WHO to cultivate global networks for pathogen detection and
strengthen pandemic preparedness capabilities, including broadening
surveillance for diseases worsened by rising temperatures and extreme weather.
Established in 2021, WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence facilitates
a global collaboration of partners from multiple sectors to address future
pandemic and epidemic risks with better access to data, better analytical
capacities, and better tools and insights for decision-making. The partnership
with The Rockefeller Foundation will accelerate these efforts with catalytic
funding and technical assistance. “The Covid-19 pandemic underscored that
disease surveillance, collaboration between stakeholders, and data sharing were
absolutely essential ingredients for health security – and the global community
was unprepared,” said Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, WHO Assistant Director-General and
head of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. “With the
increasing threats from climate change, we are excited to partner with The Rockefeller

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey takes aim

Kissinger behind 3 million civilian
deaths
https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/kissinger-behind-3-million-civilian-deaths-the-intercept/
The
former US diplomat’s actions caused, among others, 150,000 Cambodian civilians
to die, an outlet investigation has claimed. Henry Kissinger, the foreign
policy eminence grise who has advised half a dozen US presidents, has caused
the deaths of over 3 million people, according to an Intercept report published
Tuesday to mark the realpolitik strategist’s 100th birthday. While critics of
the Nixon-era secretary of state and national security adviser often describe
him as a war criminal for his pivotal role in numerous US-backed genocides and
coups, the report argues Kissinger’s body count has been widely underestimated,
particularly regarding the secretive, highly illegal expansion of the Vietnam
War into Cambodia in the 1970s. Between the genocides he sponsored in East
Timor and Bangladesh, continent-wide terrorism, coups and death squads in Latin
America (known as Operation Condor), the fomenting of civil wars in Southern
Africa, and the carpet-bombing of Cambodia and Laos under the guise of chasing
the Vietnamese, Kissinger is believed to be responsible for over 3 million
civilian deaths – more if one counts the casualties that have resulted from
advice he gave the private sector. Kissinger has ‘only’ acknowledged that his
actions caused the deaths of 50,000 Cambodians and blames the Vietnamese, the
supposed targets of the US bombing campaign (the coordinates of which were
logged incorrectly so as to be recorded as legal strikes within Vietnam).
Intercept reporter Nick Truse argues the number is closer to 150,000, pointing
to numerous documented examples of egregious and deliberate undercounting of
civilian casualties. The figure represents over six times more civilians than
the US has killed in airstrikes since 9/11...

The
top US law enforcement agency has refused to give Congress documents detailing
allegations of a bribery scheme. The FBI has again refused to turn over
documents subpoenaed by Congress regarding allegations of a bribery scheme
allegedly perpetrated by then-Vice President Joe Biden, escalating a row with
House Republicans over the agency’s handling of the case. The latest refusal to
comply with the subpoena came during an FBI briefing of the US House Oversight
Committee on Monday. At issue is a so-called FD-1023 form, which details
accusations that President Biden accepted foreign bribes in exchange for policy
favors when he was vice president under President Barack Obama. FBI officials
previously missed a May 10 deadline to provide the requested materials to
Congress. At the time, the agency claimed that the allegations against Biden
were unverified and that the FD-1023 must be kept private to protect FBI
informants. Ironically, a four-year probe by US special counsel John Durham
found that the FBI improperly launched an investigation of Donald Trump’s 2016

From “Spook Air” to the “Lolita
Express”:
The Genesis and Evolution of the
Jeffrey Epstein-Bill Clinton Relationship
Far
from being the work of a single political party, intelligence agency or
country, the power structure revealed by the network connected to Epstein is
nothing less than a criminal enterprise that is willing to use and abuse
children in the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and control. On August 10th,
and for several days after, speculation swirled after it was announced that
Jeffrey Epstein had been found dead in his cell. His cause of death has
officially been ruled suicide by hanging. Epstein, the billionaire pedophile
and sex trafficker with a myriad of connections to the rich and powerful in the
United States and several other countries, had told those close to him that he
had feared for his life prior to his sudden “suicide,” the Washington Post
reported, while his defense lawyers claimed that he had planned to cooperate
with federal authorities. Following the controversial conclusion by the New
York Medical Examiner that Epstein’s death was a suicide — a conclusion
contested by Epstein’s attornies as well as by independent forensic
pathologists, given the apparent evidence pointing towards strangulation —
corporate media coverage of the Epstein case has slowed to a trickle, save for
sensationalist stories about his alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and
new salacious details of his past. Gone from corporate media are any hints of
the larger scandal, revolving around the admission that Epstein had “belonged

Only
two months ago the mainstream media widely circulated a video which they said

weapons in programs designed to prepare them for the military. The programs
were widely criticized as “indoctrination.” Of course, Ukraine has also been
involved in weapons training for children and these efforts have only increased
in recent months as the city of Bakhmut, an epicenter of the fighting for many
months, has reportedly fallen to Russia’s Wagner Group. CNBC has briefly

for schoolchildren in Lviv. The center was opened this month with plans to open
dozens of other training facilities for children across the country in the near

The
notorious pedophile reportedly threatened to reveal the tech billionaire’s
affair with a younger woman. Jeffrey Epsten discovered that Microsoft
co-founder Bill Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and paid for
the woman’s education before asking for reimbursement from Gates in exchange
for his silence, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. Gates met Mila
Antonova around 2010, when he was in his mid-50s and she was in her 20s.
Epstein met her three years later and paid for her to attend a software coding
school, before emailing Gates in 2017 and asking for the cost of her tuition,
the newspaper claimed, citing “people familiar with the matter.” At the time of
the email, Epstein had been trying unsuccessfully to convince Gates to invest
in “a multibillion dollar charitable fund” with JPMorgan Chase, the paper
continued, explaining that “the implication behind the message…was that Epstein
could reveal the affair if Gates didn’t keep up an association between the two

underwater 3D scan in the history of the 111-year-old Titanic wreck, revealing
new levels of detail that will allow scientists to form a more detailed report
of what happened back on that fateful day in 1912. “I’m seeing details that none of us have ever
seen before and this allows me build upon everything that we have learned to
date and see the wreck in a new light,” said Parks Stephenson, a Titanic
expert. “We’ve got actual data that engineers can take to examine the true
mechanics behind the breakup and the sinking thereby get even closer to the
true story of the Titanic disaster.” The
scanning process took place during a six-week expedition in the summer of 2022.

Matt Gaetz blasts Biden’s
‘weaponization’ of FBI against pro-lifers, Catholics at press conference
Florida
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz on Thursday argued that the FBI under the Biden
administration has been politically “capture[d]” as it turns its immense power
and resources against conservatives, Catholics, pro-lifers, and whistleblowers.
“The FBI has been victimized by political capture, and that [politicization]
has manifested in the targeting of Americans who never deserved to have this
government weaponized against them,” Rep. Gaetz said. “Whistleblowers saw those
bad acts. They stepped forward and they were retaliated against and crushed as
a consequence.” Gaetz made the allegation during a May 18 press conference just
ahead of a hearing held by the Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the
Weaponization of the Federal Government. As previously reported by
LifeSiteNews, the subcommittee, headed by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, was established
to investigate the alleged use of federal government powers to target
conservatives...

Republican donor pushes Tucker Carlson
for president
https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/republican-donor-pushes-tucker-carlson-for-president/
The
Draft Tucker PAC launched its first campaign ad urging the party to pick the
news anchor, who doesn’t want the job. A political action campaign calling
itself Draft Tucker PAC released a campaign ad on Thursday urging the
Republican Party to pick former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson as its candidate
for President of the US in 2024. “Republicans need a new leader, and Tucker
Carlson is ready to lead,” the 30-second spot boasts, describing the
conservative pundit as “witty, sharp and [someone who] mocks woke nonsense.”
Carlson “will whip Biden in a debate,” the commercial assures voters, insisting
“no one in America is more articulate.” Led by former Texas congressional
candidate and Republican donor Chris Ekstrom, the Draft Tucker PAC, which filed
its papers last month after Carlson was let go from Fox News, still has to
convince its eponymous candidate to run. The ad urges viewers to sign its petition
to draft the right-wing commentator. Ekstrom told The Hill he was concerned
neither the Republican frontrunner, former president Donald Trump, nor Trump’s
leading challenger, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is pushing the conversation
in the right direction. “I’m very concerned that they’re going to not move the
debate as far right as it ought to be,” he told the outlet, without explaining
where the declared candidates fell short in their positions on the issues...

North Carolina bans abortion at 12
weeks after Republican lawmakers override governor’s veto
Republican
lawmakers in North Carolina overrode the veto of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper on
Tuesday and enacted a law that bans most abortions after 12 weeks and places
new restrictions on abortion drugs and clinics. The Senate voted 30-20 along
party lines Tuesday evening to uphold Senate Bill 20, and the House followed
hours later with a 72–48 vote. Cooper, a strong supporter of unrestricted
abortion, vetoed the bill at a rally with abortion activists on Saturday,
saying that it would “make abortion unavailable to many women, particularly
those with lower incomes, those who live in rural areas, and those who already have
limited access to health care.” The legislation is the result of private
negotiations between conservative and moderate Republicans after the North
Carolina GOP secured a narrow supermajority in the state legislature last

Will this prevent the evil plans
of the UN and WHO?
The
world is outraged about the agenda of the World Health Organization and United
Nations to normalize pedophilia through primary education. A US congresswoman
is taking a bold stand against it, leading newspapers are alerting the public,
renown physicians speak out, and international organizations rise up. Stop the
WHO - On May 6th 2023 we released a devastating evidence report that shows the
agenda of the WHO and UN to promote pedophilia in kindergartens and elementary
schools. Meanwhile the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) and UNAIDS
called for the decriminalization of s*x between adults and children. The WHO
and UN guidelines say that little children must learn masturbation, sexual
techniques, and have sexual partners. The Rutgers Foundation was chosen by the
WHO to execute this agenda in 27 nations. In a training guide for teachers Rutgers
says that the purpose of this sexuality education is to "give children
ideas so they will start with s*x sooner". The Rutgers Foundation has a
long history of attempting to legalize pedophilia. They have worked extensively
with, and are supported by, organizations that own large collections of child
pornography. The close partnership between the WHO and Rutgers, a prominent
pedophilia promotor, to execute the sexuality education worldwide, proves how
this is an obvious attempt to normalize pedophilia through primary education...

ICC did not do anything about former US president George Bush’s wars in Iran
and turned a blind eye when Barack Obama and NATO illegally invaded Libya,” he
said. Andile Mngxitama, a former South African National Assembly Member, also
backed the call, telling RT that the Hague-based court has “proven to have no

Chinese warships have ventured into the Western Pacific for live-fire exercises,
the military said on Tuesday, shortly after one of China’s two aircraft
carriers returned from a patrol, in its latest projection of force into more
distant waters. The destroyer Dalian and guided-missile frigate Huangshan
sailed to an unidentified area of the West Pacific “not long ago” and conducted
attack and defense drills, the Southern Theatre Command of the People’s
Liberation Army said in a statement. “The joint training in unfamiliar and
complex waters is of great significance in exploring the boundaries of new
equipment effectiveness, testing the practical application of new warfare
method,” the command said, citing a training officer. The exercises in more
distant seas in the West Pacific came soon after a carrier group led by the

communities from the pernicious evils afflicting the West, saying he thinks
we’ll be “weighed and measured at the end” based on how we responded. The
former Trump adviser and current War Room host was gracious enough to join me
for this episode of The John-Henry Westen Show, filmed in Washington, D.C.
Bannon is the first of a series of special guests from D.C. this week, so stay
tuned for more in the coming days! The occasion for our interview came after a
dinner hosted by Steve Bannon in honor of Bishop Athanasius Schneider. Bannon
envisioned it as a sort of “spiritual war council” where there would be “give
and take” between Bp. Schneider and attendees about the current spiritual war
and how we should engage it. Bannon, raised in a deeply Catholic environment
himself, said “people of faith have got to get involved” politically. “Politics
is not pleasant. It’s oftentimes not fun. It’s very nitty-gritty and grubby,”
he said. “And you’re going to have a lot of grease underneath your fingernails.
And there’s a lot of things in politics that are going to offend you as a
Christian and as a Catholic. But I think you have to make that sacrifice in
order for us to, in a democratic society, come to grips with what’s going on.”

Governor Greg Abbott wants the company to address the journalist’s claim that
Fox fired him on its behalf. Texas Governor Greg Abbott called on Dominion
Voting Systems to explain its alleged role in Fox News’ firing of Tucker
Carlson in a tweet on Saturday. Carlson accused his former employer several
days ago of firing him as part of its settlement with the voting machine
manufacturer. “If Dominion wants to do business with Texas in the future, they
should first answer questions about what role, if any, they played in silencing
a prominent conservative journalist,” Abbott tweeted, citing recent reports
alleging “Dominion Voting Systems demanded that Tucker Carlson be fired as part
of a litigation settlement” with Fox News. Carlson’s lawyers reportedly accused
Fox News of breach of contract and fraud in a letter sent earlier this week,
which also claimed he had been fired as part of the network’s $787.5 million
settlement with Dominion. Specifically, the former host’s counsel claimed Fox
broke an agreement not to leak Carlson’s private messages to the media or use
them “to take any adverse employment action against him,” as well as a promise
not to settle with Dominion “in a way which would indicate wrongdoing” on his
part or harm his reputation...

The

Thousands of Canadians to ‘stand firm’
for life on Parliament Hill today
Thousands
of Canadians will attend today’s annual National March for Life in Ottawa
where, together, they will stand united. They will also stand firm against the
fierce backlash from abortion supporters to the overturning of Roe in the U.S.
last June. “The backlash to last year’s overturning of Roe has been sharp and
swift everywhere, including in Canada,” said Jeff Gunnarson, National President
of Campaign Life Coalition. “The Trudeau Liberals are still threatening to
strip pregnancy care centres of their charitable status. Access to chemical
abortion is expanding, despite the confirmed deaths of two Canadian women from
the abortion pill. Pro-life speech and expression continue to be under attack
like never before.” “‘Stand Firm’ is how pro-life Canadians respond to these
attacks on human life,” Gunnarson added. Today’s National March for Life marks
54 years since Justin Trudeau’s father Pierre decriminalized abortion,
resulting in what pro-life advocates call a “genocide” against the preborn.
Over 4,000,000 children have had their lives snuffed out by abortion since that
day of infamy – May 14, 1969. Gunnarson said that pro-life Canadians,
encouraged by the fall of Roe, are now greatly anticipating a day in which
legal protections are offered to babies inside their mothers’ wombs. A new

On
January 17, 1960, outgoing President and former Supreme Allied Commander Dwight
D. Eisenhower gave one of the most consequential speeches in American history.
Eisenhower for eight years had been a popular president, whose appeal drew upon
a reputation as a person of great personal fortitude, who’d guided the United
States to victory in an existential fight for survival in World War II.
Nonetheless, as he prepared to vacate the Oval Office for handsome young John
F. Kennedy, he warned the country it was now at the mercy of a power eve he
could not overcome. Until World War II, America had no permanent arms
manufacturing industry. Now it did, and this new sector, Eisenhower said, was
building up around itself a cultural, financial, and political support system
accruing enormous power. This “conjunction of an immense military establishment
and a large arms industry is new in the American experience,” he said,
adding: In the councils of
government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

Deeply shocked mother tries to warn

A
deeply concerned mother is sending out a heart cry to the rest of the world.
She explains how little children in thousands of schools are taught to
masturbate one another, have oral s*x, play all kinds of sexual games, are
exposed to naked (transgender) adults, and so on. This is part of a mandatory
curriculum, published by the Rutgers Foundation, who in 27 nations executes the
international guidelines for sexuality education of the World Health
Organization and United Nations. These guidelines for education authorities
state that children must have sexual parters, and learn different sexual
techniques. Pushing this "comprehensive sexuality education" in every
school of the world is one of the sustainability goals of the United Nations
Agenda 2030. About this agenda, the UN says that it "involves the entire

Cluster of Chinese Vessels Spotted

A
Chinese research vessel flanked by coast guard and nearly a dozen boats on
Wednesday entered a gas block operated by Russian and Vietnamese state firms,
two monitoring groups said, another potential flashpoint in the South China
Sea. It follows a pattern of assertive moves of late by Beijing in its
neighbors’ exclusive economic zones (EEZ), as it presses its claim to
sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, testing the United States
and its allies at a time of heightened regional tension. Strong relations
between Russia and China are a major factor supporting global stability,
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in March, but the two countries have
conflicting interests in the South China Sea. The Chinese research ship, two

Globalist elites provoking bloody
conflicts and coups – Putin
The
Russian leader has accused Western powers of trying to build a system of
“robbery, violence and suppression”. Western elites have forgotten the
consequences of the Nazis’ “insane ambitions,” Russian President Vladimir Putin
has said during his Victory Day Parade speech on Red Square in Moscow. Russia
believes that “any ideology of superiority is by its nature disgusting,
criminal and deadly,” the president pointed out. “The globalist elites keep
insisting on their exceptionalism; they pit people against each other, split
societies, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, sow hatred, Russophobia and
aggressive nationalism, destroy traditional family values that make human a

United States to Send Additional Air
Defense Systems, Munitions,
Counter-UAS Systems,155mm Artillery
Shells and ISR Services to Ukraine
https://www.deagel.com/news/n000022420
Today,
the Department of Defense (DoD) announced a new security assistance package to
reaffirm the steadfast U.S. support for Ukraine, including to bolster its air
defenses and sustain its artillery ammunition needs. This package, which totals
up to $1.2 billion, is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance
Initiative (USAI). This USAI package underscores the continued U.S. commitment
to meeting Ukraine's most urgent requirements by committing critical near-term
capabilities, such as air defense systems and munitions, while also building
the capacity of Ukraine's Armed Forces to defend its territory and deter
Russian aggression over the long term. This includes committing additional
155mm artillery rounds and sustainment support to enable Ukraine to better
maintain its on-hand systems and equipment. Unlike Presidential Drawdown
authority (PDA), which DoD has continued to leverage to deliver equipment to
Ukraine from DoD stocks at a historic pace, USAI is an authority under which
the United States procures capabilities from industry or partners. This
announcement represents the beginning of a contracting process to provide
additional priority capabilities to Ukraine. The capabilities in this package
include: Additional air defense systems and munitions...

South Korea Is Building What the U.S.
Navy Never Did: The ‘Arsenal Ship’
South
Korea is building an unusual ship design with U.S. Navy roots. The “Joint Firepower
Ship,” designed to carry scores of ballistic missiles, would be used to attack
North Korea’s government and nuclear weapons if preparations to use the latter
were detected. The ship concept has its origins in the “arsenal ship,” a
American warship design laden with missiles that was never built. The South
Korean government has selected local shipbuilder DSME to design a Joint
Firepower Ship, with aim of building three ships by the end of this decade. The
ship’s primary mission will be to carry up to 80 new ballistic missiles,
currently under development and each equipped with conventional warheads. The
Joint Firepower Ship will be the sea-based portion of South Korea’s “kill
chain”—a web of sensors, spies, special forces, and shooters designed to get a
fix on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a crisis and execute a peremptory
attack on him and his nuclear weapons...

Port of Long Beach Unveils Plans for
Massive Floating Offshore Wind Facility
https://gcaptain.com/port-of-long-beach-unveils-plans-for-massive-floating-offshore-wind-facility/
The
Port of Long Beach has announced plans for Pier Wind, a giant floating offshore
wind facility designed to help California and the nation achieve renewable
energy goals. The facility, the largest of its kind at any U.S. seaport, will
support the manufacture and assembly of offshore wind turbines as tall as the
Eiffel Tower. Pier Wind will enable fully assembled turbines capable of
generating 20 megawatts of energy to be towed by sea to offshore wind farms in
Central and Northern California. “As society transitions to clean energy, our
harbor is ideally located for such an enterprise – with calm seas behind a
federal breakwater, one of the deepest and widest channels in the U.S., direct
access to the open ocean and no air height restrictions,” said Port of Long Beach
Executive Director Mario Cordero. “No other location has the space to achieve
the economies of scale needed to drive down the cost of energy for these huge
turbines.” The $4.7 billion project, spanning up to 400 acres within the Harbor
District southwest of the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge, will not
only provide renewable power but also create jobs and career opportunities for
communities disproportionately affected by climate change and port
operations...

It’s worse than you thought:
Transgenderism’s endgame is transhumanism
Will
technology stop at transgenderism? No. Western populations are being
conditioned – ‘groomed’ – to more easily accept transhumanism via the booming
transgender industry. Individuals, including children, caught up in the current
trans craze who have had their bodies medically and surgically mutilated and
their personalities altered via social “affirmation” are nothing more than stepping
stones to launch an even more macabre form of existence: transhumanism. Once
considered to be nothing more than a cultish fringe ideology belonging more to
the world of science fiction than reality, “transhumanism” is now being driven
into reality by governments, multinational corporations, global banks,
international law firms, and of course, Silicon Valley. What is transhumanism?
It’s a movement that seeks to create humans with augmented capabilities by
merging the human person with technology. While some of the initial forays into
transhuman science have laudable goals of helping people with neurological
disorders such as paralysis, dementia, and Alzheimer disease, these efforts
will be used to pave the way to a form of immortal “boundless” existence by
fusing the human conscience with computers, creating a hybrid species of
individuals who will exist in cyberspace. The ultimate goal is to create an
enhanced species that transcends humanity. In other words, the aim is to create
an upgraded, “posthuman” society. “Transhumanists want to apply technology to
overcome limits imposed by our biological and genetic heritage,” explained Max
More, a philosopher who deals with the cultural implications of emerging
technologies. “Transhumanists regard human nature not as an end in itself, not
as perfect, and not as having any claim on our allegiance,” continued More.
“Rather, it is just one point along an evolutionary pathway, and we can learn
to reshape our own nature in ways we deem desirable and valuable.” “By thoughtfully,
carefully, and yet boldly applying technology to ourselves,” said More, “we can
become something no longer accurately described as human – we can become
posthuman.” You are being groomed: Transgenderism is the ‘on ramp’ to
transhumanism...

School training video shows teachers

A
training video sent to thousands of schools in Europe, shows teachers telling
young children to start masturbating. This is part of the World Health

that children should have sexual partners and start with s*x as soon as
possible. The publisher of this video, the Rutgers Foundation, operates in 27
nations, is a close partner of the WHO and UN, and is supported by Bill Gates.
The language spoken in the video is Dutch, but please be aware that this is a
real-life example of the execution of an INTERNATIONAL agenda of the World Health
Organization and United Nations, meaning this will come to public schools in
every nation of the world. I send this video to you as a warning. If we don't

Have victims of covid “vaccines”
become a new source of organ donors?
https://expose-news.com/2023/05/04/are-covid-vaccine-victims-new-organ-source/
Jacinda
Ardern’s government had an emotional response to the crisis and a mistaken
understanding of science, which led to multiple vaccine-induced deaths. Have these victims become a new source of
organ donors for organ transplantation? By perusing scientific literature from
around the world, New Zealand’s Dr. Guy Hatchard explores what vaccine-induced
deaths mean from the perspective of transplant surgeons. “[While] transplant
surgeons are very excited to have more available young donors … [they]
completely fail to comment on the significance of the increased number of cases
of vaccine-induced death,” he writes. “Transplant surgeons are narrowly focused
on their discipline. Despite being aware of increases in covid vaccine-induced
death, they wrote papers which failed to sound the alarm.” This leads Dr.
Hatchard into a discussion of the harms vaccines cause and the efforts of
Ardern and MP (Midazolam Pusher) Matt Hancock to ensure information about those
harms are never publicly discussed or investigated...

RFK Jnr blames CIA for JFK
assassination
Robert F Kennedy Jr. said the agency’s
culpability was “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/rfk-jnr-blames-cia-for-jfk-assassination/
The
CIA was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1963
and likely involved in the murder of US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in
1968, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alleged during an
interview with WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday. “There is
overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in [JFK’s] murder,” Kennedy
declared, describing it as “beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.” “The
evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and the
coverup,” the candidate continued, describing efforts to discredit this theory
as a “60-year coverup.” Kennedy cited the book “JFK and the Unspeakable” by
James Douglas as the best compilation of evidence on the subject, though dozens
if not hundreds of works have been written about the assassination and the
CIA’s alleged role. The official US government explanation, published as the
Warren Commission report the following year, holds that US Marine veteran Lee
Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting the president while his motorcade was
passing through Dallas on November 22, 1963. Oswald was famously murdered
before he could stand trial, though he managed to tell journalists he was “just
a patsy” shortly after his arrest. The alleged lone gunman was shot dead by
nightclub owner Jack Ruby (real name Jacob Rubinstein) while being transported
from Dallas Police Headquarters to the county jail...

The mysterious death of Stanley Meyer
and his water powered car
A mystery unresolved to this day and
still very topical
https://tcct.com/news/2020/11/the-mysterious-death-of-stanley-meyer-and-his-water-powered-car/
A
waiter serves one of them some cranberry juice, perhaps (but we will never know
for sure) chosen for dessert. This man, immediately after the first sip,
suddenly gets up as if he’s gone crazy, he holds his hands around his neck, he
loses his breath, runs out into the parking lot, collapses to the ground and
pronounces his last words “they poisoned me”. Steve Robinette, the lead
detective on the case, collected the testimonies of everyone in the parking
lot, including the final disturbing words of a man immediately identified as
Stanley Meyer, a citizen of Grove City. His brother Stephen was one of the four
at the table, and he heard the words spoken at the end of his life. Robinette
is not one for interminable investigations. He performed a toxicology analysis,
which gave no significant results, and he also spoke to the coroner, who
attributed his death to a brain aneurysm, compatible with previous episodes of
hypertension. In just three months, he closed the case file, sealed it with a
coloured elastic band and wrote on the cover “death by natural causes”.

You
shouldn’t get any vaccine unless you can verify there is a positive
risk-benefit analysis that has been done that is compelling. That means you
should ignore what the CDC says about the flu vax. My advice? Just say NO!
There is no measurable mortality benefit, but there is a clear mortality risk.
Plus, you have a 4X higher risk of getting non-flu viruses after the jab. It
would be nonsensical to take the jab. Executive summary - My doctor told me I
should get the flu vaccine because the flu can kill people and by taking the
vaccine, it will reduce your risk of death. That sounded compelling to me, so I
always took the shot when offered. I now realize that was a big mistake. I

US Planning More ‘Robots at Sea’ In
Middle East To Combat Iran

The
US is trying to convince Middle East allies to add dozens more robot vessels
around the Arabian Peninsula to better detect threats from countries like Iran,
a move to protect waterways vital to global commerce and oil trade. The US,
which leads two international maritime coalitions out of Bahrain, wants to have
more than 100 unmanned surface vehicles
— sometimes called robots at sea — in operation by the end of the
summer, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, who commands the coalitions and the
Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet, said in an interview. An initial target of 50 was
met in February and the technology delivers a cost-effective and efficient way
of deepening US partnerships, he said. The plan is being carried out as Iran,
emboldened by a China-brokered deal to re-establish relations with US ally
Saudi Arabia, seized a seciond tanker in less than a week. The US Navy released

During

against ever again forcing Russia to choose between national humiliation and

impossible. There is no evil so horrible… is there? In many previous reports,
we have lifted the veil on their agendas for humanity. During the pandemic, we

in which they deliberately murdered thousands of people by administering
non-therapeutic, lethal doses of hydroxychloroquine. One third of all involved

A
small Canadian producer of animated films, 3D Epix Inc., published an animated
short film on YouTube a few weeks ago, which quickly received more than 1.5
million views worldwide. It's about our fictitious, not too distant future,
assumed to be dystopian. The production company's self-description of this film
says: "It speculates on the possible consequences of the infamous Great
Reset, medical tyranny, wake culture and the green agenda. Anything the World
Economic Forum (WEF) has in store for us.” 3D Epix Inc. has previously been
involved in purely commercial productions for advertising, television and
cinema. The YouTube channel of the small company, which is housed in a family
home in Calgary, previously only showed animated films about the early development
of life on earth, which apparently carried neither a political nor a religious
message. The film about the Great Reset has subtitles that are displayed in
German. In the English-speaking world, we obviously still have a few surprises
ahead of us. There is an exciting mixture of know-how and economic
opportunities that overshadow any existing potential in Europe. So far,
cosmopolitan and economically liberal ideas have spread from there to Europe.

seriously: almost 3 million people across France took to the streets against
Macron's "Global Young Leaders"
policy. Violent clashes erupted between police and demonstrators in Paris, Lyon
and Nantes in particular. In addition to massive property damage, police
officers were thrown at with Molotov cocktails and paving stones. The police,
for their part, used tear gas against the demonstrators. Everything in France

Democratic

environmental issues are being “exploited” to push for “totalitarian controls”
on society. RFK, a longtime environmental activist who also supports medical
freedom, made the comments recently on “The Kim Iversen Show.” He argued that
the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and other “mega-billionaires” are
exploiting climate issues in the same way they exploited COVID to “clamp down”
on individual freedom. “It’s given climate chaos a bad name,” Kennedy said. He
continued: People now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to
strip mine the wealth of the poor and to, you know, to enrich billionaires. And
I, for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering. You can
go check my speeches from the 1980s, and I’ve said the most important solution
for environmental issues is not top down controls [but] free market capitalism.
