Xi, Modi Agree To De-escalate Tensions On Disputed Border At BRICS Meeting

"Essential for the normalization of the India-China relationship"

Via The Cradle: Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed on Thursday to seek a resolution to years of tensions along the Himalayan border area between the two nuclear-armed countries.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra stated that Modi had spoken to Xi on the sidelines at the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Modi highlighted India’s concerns about the unresolved issues along the "Line of Actual Control" (LAC), which serves as the effective India-China border.

"The prime minister underlined that the maintenance of peace and tranquillity in the border areas and observing and respecting the LAC are essential for the normalization of the India-China relationship," Kwatra said.

He added the two leaders had "agreed to direct the relevant officials to intensify efforts at expeditious disengagement and de-escalation." Xi added that improved China-India relations are "conducive to peace, stability, and development of the world and the region."

A joint statement released after the Modi-Xi meeting described the discussion as "positive, constructive and in-depth." The statement added that India and China had "agreed to maintain the momentum of dialogue and negotiations through military and diplomatic channels."

The Hidden Tax Of This And That

Too much of the world, too much of what we see, too much of what we are told is a lie and that is a fact...

Authored by Bruce Wilds: Life is full of hidden taxes. Governments, banks, and businesses all benefit from taking advantage of us by shifting costs and then nibbling away at us. This often occurs when we are distracted by a larger attack on us coming from another direction. All this should be considered part of a larger ruse, or ploy to mask how we are being weakened by a thousand cuts. Such schemes promote the idea these "little" penalties and taxes upon us are minor tolls that must be paid for society to function rather than a theft fostered upon us. 

Of course, this is becoming much easier as we move towards a cashless society where systems allow people to pay bills without even looking at them. In general, most people have come to accept a little pilfering here and there as normal. Fighting such incursions into our lives usually fails and many people deem the effort more trouble than it is worth.

No matter how much we rile at the failure of our institutions and governments, the biggest problem we face is things will most likely get far worse.

CDC Now Refusing New Covid Vaccine Adverse Event Reports in Its V-Safe Program

Note from Justin: In a shocking turn of events, it seems that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has quietly stopped collecting adverse event reports on their V-safe website. This website, which was actively gathering safety data for COVID-19 vaccines, abruptly stopped collecting data on June 30, 2023, leaving many to wonder why. The CDC now directs users to the FDA’s VAERS website for adverse event reporting, even though they had previously dismissed VAERS as “passive” and “unverified.” This decision raises troubling questions about the safety of mRNA Covid-19 injections and why the CDC would choose to stop monitoring adverse events for such a new and potentially risky technology.

By Justin Hart: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) V-safe website quietly stopped collecting adverse event reports with no reason or explanation. The V-safe website simply states: “Thank you for your participation. Data collection for COVID-19 vaccines concluded on June 30, 2023.” If you go there today, V-safe directs users to the FDA’s VAERS website for adverse event reporting, even though officials continually derided VAERS as “passive” and “unverified.”

From COVID To Climate Change: Vehicles For Global Authoritarianism

The list of crimes against civil liberties is long...

Authored by Brandon Smith: As I have noted in the past, the western world came within a knife’s edge of being completely subjugated and placed under perpetual medical tyranny by a coalition of government officials, globalist interests and corporate partners. Liberty movement analysts have talked often of “open conspiracy,” but it was not until the pandemic response that we truly witnessed the mask come off and the greater agenda revealed.

Not more than five years ago the most common retort from skeptics was that such a conspiracy was “impossible” because it was “too elaborate to organize.” Today these people look rather foolish. It is undeniable – There is a cabal of power elites, they are highly organized around the globalist ideology and they want total centralized control of society. It is an immutable fact supported by endless proof. The debate is over. The covid response ended it.

The list of crimes against civil liberties is long. The establishment and the political left (with the help of a handful of Neocons) tried to implement unprecedented authoritarian measures from business and church shutdowns to forced masking (studies show the masks are useless) to forced vaccination using experimental mRNA products with no long term safety testing. In some countries (including New Zealand and Australia) covid camps were actually built to imprison not just citizens traveling overseas, but non-traveling citizens as well.

"Yes, They Were Being Bribed": Fired Ukraine Prosecutor Corroborates Biden Corruption

"The fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal - my firing - isn't that alone a case of corruption?"

By Tyler Durden: Victor Shokin, the fired Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Biden family corruption (that Donald Trump was impeached for asking about) has spoken out for the first time since 2019 - and says the Bidens did it.

To review - Shokin had an active and ongoing investigation into Ukrainian energy company Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, according to a 2020 US Senate Committee report.

Zlochevsky, who hired Hunter Biden to sit on his board, granted his own company (Burisma) permits to drill for oil and gas in Ukraine while he was Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. Shokin stated in a 2019 deposition that there were five criminal cases against Zlochevesky, including money laundering, corruption, illegal funds transfers, and profiteering through shell corporations while he was a sitting minister.

Now, Shokin tells Fox News that be believes the Bidens were taking bribes.

'Election Variant': Citizens Push Back Against Mask Mandates

"And just like that, the election variant emerges..." 

Authored by Naveen Athrappully: Americans are raising their voices against mask mandates reintroduced by some institutions amid reports of rising COVID-19 cases—with some people calling recent infections an “election variant.”

On Aug. 20, Morris Brown College announced in an Instagram post that the institution has reinstated its COVID-19 mask mandate “effective immediately” due to reports of infections among students in the Atlanta University Center. All students and employees are mandated to wear face masks for a 14-day period, with students required to observe physical distancing.

Hollywood studio Lionsgate has sent a memo asking employees to wear masks after some of its workers were infected with COVID-19.

“Employees must wear a medical grade face covering (surgical mask, KN95 or N95) when indoors except when alone in an office with the door closed, actively eating, actively drinking at their desk or workstation, or if they are the only individual present in a large open workspace,” Sommer McElroy, of Lionsgate, wrote in the memo.

Revealed: Israel Charity Funded UK Campaign Against Antisemitism

Jewish National Fund is a key donor to a group which boasted of slaying British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.

By Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt: The Campaign Against Antisemitism recently took credit for persuading UK trade union Unite to cancel the Bristol launch of Asa Winstanley’s book Weaponising Anti-Semitism, alongside an associated screening of the film Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie.

This was only the latest in a long series of attacks by the Israel lobby group targeting the Palestine solidarity movement and the wider left.

But The Electronic Intifada can today reveal that the CAA has been given almost half a million dollars by the UK partner of the Jewish National Fund, Israel’s quasi-governmental settler-colonial agency.

The donations were hidden in obscure Charity Commission documents uncovered by our research.

In an email to The Electronic Intifada, the CAA confirmed it had been in “past receipt of donations from JNF UK” but denied current JNF funding.

IT’S STARTING AGAIN

Russell Brand: As American colleges and film studios enforce the return of mask mandates, is Alex Jones right that this is leading to full Covid restrictions being reinstated in the coming months? And if dogs can detect Covid better than the best test technology, wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper to just spend money on sniffer dogs?
