"Macron has massively miscalculated by thinking voters care that much about foreign policy. They don't when it comes to the ballot box really give a damn about 'the current thing', they care about runaway inflation, energy prices and the cost of living. Le Pen has pledged to slash energy prices.”
Microplastics Found In The Lung Tissue Of Living Humans For The First Time: Study
Researchers have discovered microplastics deep in the lungs of living humans for the first time.
Microplastics are extremely small plastic particles composed of mixtures of polymers and functional additives that measure less than five millimeters in size and are generally unintentionally released into the environment because of the disposal and breakdown of larger consumer products or industrial waste.
Researchers in the study collected lung tissue from living patients undergoing surgical procedures at Castle Hill Hospital and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust before filtering it to see what was present.
They observed 39 microplastics in 11 of the 13 lung tissue samples tested, a figure that is significantly higher than any previous laboratory tests.
Researchers identified 12 types of microplastics in total, which are commonly found in bottles, packaging, clothing, and rope, along with other manufacturing processes.
Male Victims Of Domestic Abuse: Action, Please
'The ethos throughout VAWG is to believe women
complainants. In short, by allowing a prejudiced axis to control the
process, what we get is “believe women, disbelieve men”. This is not
hypothetical; surveys of male victims confirm that they experience a
very high level of disbelief. Knowing they will not be believed, men
often do not even seek help.'
Russian Central Bank Chief Doing 100 Times Greater Damage To Russia Than All Sanctions And Ukrainian Forces Together
Why did Putin appoint a financial terrorist to run Russia’s Central Bank?
By Mike Whitney: Did he know he was putting Russia’s future in the hands of someone
whose interests align more closely with power-mad globalists than with
the Russian people? Does he understand the role the Central Bank chief
played in facilitating Washington’s theft of Russia’s foreign reserves?
Does he understand the role the Central Bank chief played in allowing
Russia’s currency to be ripped to shreds by vicious hedge fund
speculators acting on Washington’s behalf? Does he understand that
doubling interest rates overnight to 20% will wipe out business
investment, increase unemployment and push the economy headlong into a
protracted slump? Does he like the idea that Russia’s national bank
is now lending money at the same inflated rate as a Mafia loan shark?
Would Putin borrow money at 20%? Would anyone?
And
if no one borrows money, then there’s no credit expansion. And if there
is no credit expansion, there’s no economic growth. And if there’s no
growth, the economy goes into a downward-death spiral that curtails
personal consumption, weakens business investment, boosts the jobless
rate, shrinks the social safety-net, lowers living standards,
intensifies social discontent, and threatens the political stability of
the country. These are the knock-on effects of bad monetary policy. And,
these are the outcomes that Russia can expect if Putin sticks with the
current Central Bank chief.
James Corbett Explains 5th-Generation Warfare
Join Vermont Independent publisher Dr. Rob Williams and guest co-host Brandon Zollino for a conversation with researcher and journalist James Corbett about his new article, “Your Guide to 5th-Generation Warfare,”
Your Guide To Fifth-Generation Warfare
'War is over . . . if we want it.'
By James Corbett: We're in the middle of a world-changing war right now.
Oh, I don't mean the war in Ukraine, the one that all the media are asking you to focus your attention on. Yes, that conflict continues to escalate. and every day there are new stories about provocations and threats that could lead to a nuclear exchange . . . but that's not the war I'm referring to.
And I don't mean the war in Yemen or the other military conflicts that the media are ignoring entirely. Yes, these wars are every bit as bloody, gruesome and devastating as the Russian invasion of Ukraine (if not more so), and they also risk an escalation into a broader geopolitical and geoeconomic crisis . . . but they're not the wars I'm referring to, either.
No, the war I'm talking about is an even broader war. A war that is taking place everywhere on the globe, even as I write, and that involves virtually everyone on the planet, young and old, male and female, military and civilian. It is the war of every government against its own population and every international institution against free humanity.
