RN: During a press conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov gave a tough response to 'Ukraine = Big Israel' Jew supremacist and BBC News journalist Steve Rosenberg. Steve asked a question: Britain has said it is donating multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine to help Ukraine defend against Russian forces. The US is doing the same. You called it risky. But if Russia had not attacked Ukraine, if there had not been a Russian invasion, then there would have been no transfer of any rocket systems. Do you agree? What Lavrov answered, see in this video.
Indie rock band Big Thief is set to cross the international picket line by playing in The Jews' anti-Gentile apartheid regime occupying Palestine next month.
Palestinians are calling on the musicians “to cancel their complicit concerts in apartheid Tel Aviv.”
Big Thief said its “motivations and intentions” for going to Israel are to play where one of its band members, bassist Max Oleartchik, has family.
“We are well aware of the cultural aspect of the BDS movement and the desperate reality of the Palestinian people,” the group added, referring to the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign.
It made no mention of who or what had caused the “desperate reality” Palestinians live in.
"You should be questioning power now more than you ever have. ...You are a child of the state. You don't know, we'd better censor your free speech, we'd better not show you that information; you won't understand it. Who do you treat like that in your life? Children."
Russell Brand: The Queen’s Jubilee was commemorated around the world this weekend, but do the celebrations mask a reality of a monarchy that through its immense wealth and legal protections is incompatible with the values of a democracy? Yes!
Greg Hunter helps me remind the world that there are two sides to
every story and by ignoring this fact we are on our way to nuclear war. For The Jews' "Big Israel".
PCR Interviewed by Greg Hunter: Dr. Paul Craig Roberts (PCR), former US Assistant Treasury Secretary and international award-winning journalist, is warning that NATO and the U.S. is deliberately provoking nuclear war with Russia in Ukraine. PCR explains, “In the middle of a serious situation that can already go out of control, we are adding new provocations. It is clear Washington intends to push these provocations to the hilt. In a normal sane world, everyone would understand that it is recklessly irresponsible to put Finland and Sweden in NATO, particularly at the present time. . . . The Russians have a high tolerance for provocations and, therefore, the provocations that the West commits never have any costs, and they increase in number and severity. At some point, these provocations are just too much to stand, and that’s where you cross the line and the situation becomes nuclear. . . . How much can you provoke them and they let loose and it hits the fan? I see everything Washington's doing is designed to further provoke Russia.”
'Ultimately
the path to ending egoing is the same as the path to ending empiring:
letting life be as it is instead of trying to manipulate and control. In setting the world free, we
set ourselves free.'
Gaining control over others gives us the feeling that we are making ourselves more safe and secure, because, to whatever extent we’re able to exert it, it seems like we are able to control what they do and prevent them from creating undesirable outcomes for us.
The assumption that more control means more safety is mistaken, and it’s what generates most of the suffering in our world today. It’s also what drives the impulse to obtain power.
'The chances for peace are zero.
We are being led into nuclear war. ...This is megalomania.'
We are being led into nuclear war. Having provoked a Russian military intervention in Ukraine, the US and its NATO puppets have become combatants in the conflict by their provision of Ukraine with weapons, training, and diplomatic support. The US and UK are now equipping Ukraine with missiles that can be used for attacks on Russia’s Black Sea naval base in Crimea. Once such an attack occurs, the US and NATO will be at war with Russia, a situation China could take advantage of by occupying Taiwan.
Peace requires an event or events that shake the neoconservatives confidence in their ideology of hegemony and the willingness of elected officials to continue to accommodate the interests of the military security complex, or it requires Russian and Chinese acceptance of US hegemony, an unlikely prospect.
"The unthinkable happened!"
RN: Speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a press conference on the cancellation of Lavrov's visit to Serbia to meet with President of Serbia Aleksander Vucic. Three countries - Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Montenegro - have declared that they do not allow Russian government aircraft to fly over their territory. Because of this, Lavrov's visit to Serbia was cancelled.
Musk declared
at a speaking event in 2019 that “the biggest problem the world will
face in 20 years is population collapse.” Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba
Group, also present at the event, said, “I agree.”
In some places, including Japan, Russia, South Korea, and most countries in Europe, that population collapse has already begun. China is not far behind.
'You can have feminist equity, but there is no law of the universe
that says you can also have a functioning healthcare system or a
thriving national economy.'
Commentators are becoming more outspoken regarding the reason for this diminishing performance of general practice: it is due, they claim, to the increases in the proportion of GPs who work part-time. Writing in The Spectator on 4/6/22, Meirion Thomas observed,
“Currently, an astonishing 58% of GPs work three days or fewer per week. We’re told that seeing patients is such a stressful business that part-time working is the only way to prevent burnout. In my 33 years working as an NHS consultant surgeon, I don’t remember this ever happening to heart, brain, cancer or other specialists who take life and death decisions every day. GPs’ work is far less complicated. Why should they be so badly affected by burnout?”
'A
combination of higher energy prices, a slumping pound, faltering
economic growth, a deteriorating environment for small businesses, weak
households, trade restrictions on Russia, a central bank that is
tightening, and overall inflation at four-decade highs have all produced
a toxic environment for the UK economy.'
FSB chairman Martin McTague, recently told BBC Radio 4's Today, "there is still a massive problem with small businesses. They are facing something like twice the rate of inflation for their production prices, and it's a ticking timebomb. They have got literally weeks left before they run out of cash and that will mean hundreds of thousands of businesses, and lots of people losing their jobs."
"People will be ordered to work from home, under secret government plans!"
