Ukraine Conflict roundup 28 February 2022

 

The Impact Of A SWIFT Ban On Russia And The World

Authored by Daniel Lacalle via Zero Hedge,

SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is the global financial system that allows immediate and secure transfers of money across borders. It is the web that verifies all financial transactions. It links 11,000 banks and institutions in more than 200 countries, with 40 million messages a day. Using SWIFT ensures that transactions happen in seconds in a secure way. Around 1% of those messages involve Russian payments, according to the BBC.

As part of the West sanctions against Russia, its banks have been banned from the SWIFT system. Additionally, the United States and the European Union have announced restrictions on the Russian central bank that block access to more than $600 billion in reserves. The Bank of Russia reports that only 22% of its international reserves are US Dollars, while gold accounts for 23%.

What does this mean? On the one hand, the move aims to block all options of the central bank to defend its currency from plummeting even more against the US dollar or the euro. In recent years, the Russian central bank has been reducing its exposure to US treasuries and shifting from US dollar reserves to euro and yuan, as well as gold. Access to those reserves is more difficult now, and in the case of euro and yen, probably close to impossible.

For Russian banks, the ban from the SWIFT system increases the risk of a bank run as citizens fear for the loss of their deposits and a collapse in daily operations, even if they start to use other alternatives.

However, we cannot forget there is an important impact on European banks as well. According to JP Morgan, European banks have up to $80 billion in claims with Russian banks. Being banned from SWIFT does not make these claims disappear, but if Russian banks fall into a de-capitalization process, the risks of defaults multiply.

Only three countries have been banned from SWIFT. Iran, since 2012, North Korea and now Russia, albeit partially. Oil and gas exports as well as other key commodities remain in the system.

Without SWIFT, Russian banks and the central bank are effectively blocked from operating on a global scale which means an added risk of a domino of defaults from issuers and the impossibility to conduct the most basic international operations.

However, Russian banks may bypass the SWIFT system and use other alternatives, mainly though a parallel system in China, called CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payments System), which facilitates transactions in yuan. According to CIPS, at least 25 Russian banks conduct yuan transactions through their system.

Using CIPS and other direct or indirect tools to bypass SWIFT has been an alternative for Iran and North Korea but does not solve the problem of access to reserves of the central bank nor does it truly mitigate the impossibility of conducting global transactions. The yuan is only used in 4% of global currency transactions according to the BIS (Bank Of International Settlements). ... Continue reading >>>

Fertilizer Crisis About to Become a Food Crisis

by Capitalist Exploits
Monday, Feb 28, 2022

Don’t underestimate this fertilizer/agriculture fiasco. It is going to be far more severe and prolonged than what the vast majority has led themselves to believe. As Europe’s farmers prepare to spread fertilizers on fields after winter, sky-high nutrient prices are leaving them little choice but to use less and try to pass on the cost down the food chain.

For growers of staples like corn and wheat, it’s the first time they’ve really been exposed to a fertilizer crisis fueled by an energy crunch, export curbs and trade sanctions. It now costs much more to buy chemicals needed for winter crops comin

g out of dormancy, and the extra expense could prompt smaller spring plantings that make up roughly a third of European grain.

Europe has been hardest hit by fertilizer-plant cutbacks on soaring costs of natural gas used to run them — and nutrient prices there remain at a record even as the pressure eased in North America. Europe could face a deficit of about 9% of its annual nitrogen-fertilizer needs in the first half, VTB Capital estimates. Food may get even pricier if harvests suffer or crop prices rise.

Who would have ever thought that the closing of the Dutch Groningen gas field would lead to a fertilizer, agricultural production, food, and inflationary crisis? Well, we did actually, but never mind that. It wasn’t critical to our analysis at the time. Rather, our thinking was along the traditional energy lines. Simple rising costs of all energy components due to insufficient capex spend in the fossil fuel industry.

The thing is there were multiple reasons (or moving parts) here, and we only needed one or two of them to rear their inevitable and ugly head for profits in this space to come. It’s not always about being right but about running the probabilities and positioning oneself to get lucky.

So we positioned ourselves to get lucky in an asymmetric way. And what do you know, the “Gods of Chance” looked kindly upon us. We mention this because a few subscribers have been thanking us for “our bullish call” on SDF, having bought it in mid 2020. Well, consider yourselves lucky!

By the way, if you think being up 250% is time to “take profits,” we are thinking the upside is just getting into gear. ... Continue reading >>>

 
 
 

Russia – Ukraine – Who is To Blame?

Patricia Haritty, The Expose, 28 February 2022

“The first casualty when war comes is truth”.

This is a quote that is as true today as it was when California senator Hiram W Johnson, said it in 1917, and while the mainstream media and our politicians have been getting away with broadcasting provable lies for every single conflict for decades, we can be pretty certain that what we are hearing from the mainstream media is not the truth.

The propaganda machine has been indoctrinating the public for years into believing that Russia and Putin are our enemies.

This has been done by fabricating stories about Putin’s involvement in the 2016 U.S elections, tales of how Putin hacked the DNC, and claims Donald Trump was linked to a Russian bank.

Was this all fabricated to prepare us for what is happening right now?

On 24 February 2022, after weeks of speculation, Russia invaded Ukraine, triggering a massive outrage all over the world. The attack on Ukraine has also created confusion as to the stance of the Russian government or more precisely President Putin on the WEF agenda.

The truth at this time concerning the Ukraine crisis is hard to find among the many discussions on social media too.

This seems to be a result of Putin announcing that Russia was launching a military operation directed towards the ‘demilitarization’ and ‘denazification’ of Ukraine and a Twitter thread posted not long after by @WarClandenstine claiming that Russia was targeting the Biolabs.

Although the thread was deleted soon after because of Twitter suspending the account, it can be seen in the video below, and read in its entirety here

As Russia started attacking the military installations, speculation also began as to why the United States Biolabs established in Ukraine were also among the targets.

This led to optimism that Putin is perhaps showing signs of being against the WEF’s agenda.

The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It’s About Germany

from Great Game India

The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It's About Germany

The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want Germany to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Continue reading >>>

Sooner Or Later The Experts Catch On: Russia And China Might Collectively Challenge The Dollar's Reserve Status

 Contributors to this blog Phil T Looker (pronounced Filthy Loucre), our finance expert and editor - in -0 chief Ian Thorpe who covers business and politics, have been warning for years that Russia and China have been engeged in a currency war to undermine the status of the US$ as global reserve currency and replace it with a synthetic currency controlled by .......................................... wait for it .............................................Russia and China.
So on reading a post from a financial alalyst who blogs as Quoth The Raven for Fringe Finance today our boys do not know whether to be offended or please with themselves that the world of high finance is finally catching up:

Russia And China Might Collectively Challenge The Dollar's Reserve Status

Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance

The war being waged by Russia in Ukraine shows no signs of coming to any type of peaceful end.

Meanwhile, it appears to me that a separate war on the U.S. dollar could be “officially” waged at any moment, by Russia and China collectively, as the situation in Ukraine grows more dire, as Russia’s options wane and its ties with China grow closer.

While the hope is still to avoid a World War III type scenario, escalating sanctions from the West are forcing an increasingly unhinged Vladimir Putin to consider his options for pushback.

For example, on Sunday, Putin put nuclear deterrence forces on high alert as a response to increasing pressure from NATO, in a move that the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said “escalates the conflict unacceptably.”

Sputnik/Mikhail Klimentyev/Kremlin via REUTERS

In the same breath that Putin made this announcement, he continued to push back on economic sanctions being levied against Russia:

"As you can see, not only do Western countries take unfriendly measures against our country in the economic dimension - I mean the illegal sanctions that everyone knows about very well.”

This may be because the bigger story over the weekend was the beginning of removing Russia from the SWIFT intra-bank messaging system, along with sanctions targeting Russia’s Central Bank.

SWIFT helps provide services related to the execution of financial transactions and payments between banks worldwide. Central Bank sanctions from the EU and the Fed instantly make Russia - and its currency, the ruble - pariahs elsewhere in the world.

News Roundup 25 February 2022

Image: Germany halts Nord Stream 2 pipeline project with Russia over Ukraine incursion, putting citizens at risk of freezing

(Natural News) For years, Europe and especially Germany have become less reliant on fossil fuels for their energy and more dependent on expensive and unreliable “green” energy, which has come at a price.

As the green energy systems fail to produce enough to satisfy demand, the same countries have had to reinvest in fossil fuels in order to power their economies and heat homes in the winter. Shortages brought about by insane COVID pandemic lockdowns have led to dramatically higher energy prices, and now the situation has become even more critical following Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

To reverse a decade of dumb energy policy, Germany, during the Trump administration, agreed to take part in a massive pipeline project with Russia called Nord Stream 2, in order to allow the latter to provide natural gas.

But this never made much sense from a security standpoint, given a) Germany is a legacy NATO member; and b) NATO supposedly exists to counter Russia. As president, Trump brought up that point several times, much to the chagrin of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders.

Turns out he was right, of course: With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany responded by suspending Nord Stream 2, but in doing so is likely cutting off the German people from an energy resource that cannot quickly be replaced long-term.

 

Bill Gates Had to Admit Failure, Natural Immunity is Gold Standard

from The Daily Expose 25 February, 2022

During the “Get Well Soon: Finding a Way Out of the Pandemic” session of the 58th Munich Security Conference, Bill Gates set the scene: “Well the, uh, you know, sadly the virus itself … uh, is a type of vaccine … And it’s done a better job … than we have with vaccines.”

Most rational people would have assumed Mr. Gates’ admission that the “virus” – or if you follow “the Bill Gates science”, the “vaccine,” the two being interchangeable according to Gates – had run its natural course and there was nothing more to say on “finding a way out of the pandemic.”  But it seems that those who feel the need to allow Gates to speak disregarded his all-important opinion as the session continued for another hour.

In the following text, words from Gates’ “scene setter” remarks are shown in bold italics.

“Well, the, uh, you know, sadly the virus itself particularly, the variant called omicron, uh, is a type of vaccine – that is it creates both B cell and T cell immunity. And it’s done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines.”

“Sadly”?  Did Gates invoke the word “sadly” in response to US insurance companies reporting a 40% increase in deaths occurring in working-age people between the ages of 18 and 64 since the start of Gates’ “vaccine” roll-out?

Did Gates invoke “sadly” when UK actuaries reported that in the “year of the vaccine” more people were dying in the less vulnerable age groups than during the “year of the pandemic.”?

Did Gates invoke “sadly” when towards the end of last year deaths among UK children, since they were offered his “vaccine,” were significantly higher than the five-year-average?  No.  Because the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) is a primary funder of the UK’s Medicine & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”).

BMGF also owns major shares in Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna; has given substantial funds to Oxford University, the home of AstraZeneca; and, is in partnership with the Serum Institute of India, GAVI and COVAX – suggesting the “vaccination” of children, or anyone, against the “virus” has absolutely nothing to do with health, but everything to do with money, corruption, and power.

The ”virus” is a “type of vaccine”.  A few obvious questions arise.  Firstly, if the “virus” is a type of “vaccine,” then it follows the “vaccine” is a type of “virus” – why are they injecting people with the “virus” and expecting people to believe they will “get well soon”?  Secondly, why did governments spend billions on Gates’ “vaccine” to inoculate against the “virus” which – assuming it had been released into the population in the first instance – cost nothing to administer, except for the costs to develop the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, of course? And, looking to the future, why would anyone give Gates money do it again?

Immunity after infection from the virus, in other words natural immunity, creates “both B cell and T cell immunity.” The Covid injections target the spike protein and only the spike protein, they do not target the whole virus.  Immunology and virology 101 have taught us over a century that natural immunity confers protection against a respiratory virus’s outer coat proteins, and not just one, e.g. the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein.  As Dr. Aditi Bhargava and many others have consistently and repeatedly said, natural immunity is the gold standard.  Even Chris Whitty admitted natural immunity is far superior to vaccine induced immunity.

 
 

How Corporate Monopolies Steal Our Freedom and Corrupt Democracy

from Health Defender

The solutions to corporate monopolies begin by acknowledging there is no such thing as a market without rules.

Americans love freedom … and who doesn’t? To be happy, most of us need a sense of agency and abhor the thought of Big Brother looking over our shoulder.

But for many Americans a defining notion of freedom is being “free to choose,” a phrase made famous as the title of the 1980 book by Milton and Rose Friedman.

Much earlier, Milton Friedman’s “Capitalism and Freedom” in 1962 tethered such freedom to a particular economic system — unbridled capitalism.

It sounds like common sense. Freedom means choice in the market, and we’ve bought it — literally and figuratively — often blinding us to the obvious: Such freedom is conditional. It is real only when markets offer us numerous options, and we have enough income to seal the deal.

Unfortunately, both conditions are threatened, even ripped away, when a handful of corporations dominate whole sectors of our economy and then use their power to gain political advantage.

Famous Athlete Demands Investigation: Why Are So Many Players Collapsing on the Field

from RAIR Foundation

Matt Le Tissier felt a responsibility to speak out after a 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021. British soccer legend and sports commentator Matt Le Tissier spoke out during an interview with Oracle films about the disturbing amount of athletes who have recently collapsed or died on the playing field. 
 
He had never seen anything like it in the 17 years he had played the sport. The famous athlete is calling for an investigation into the cause of athletes failing health, most of whom have received the Covid “vaccines.” Matt Le Tissier felt a responsibility to speak out after a 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021. 
 
He accused leaders who ignore this disturbing phenomenon of “gross dereliction of duty.” Le Tissier believes that fact-checkers and government officials seek to negate or discredit information supporting the theory that the mRNA injections are behind the sudden onslaught of injuries and deaths. Persecuted for Questioning the ‘Vaccine’ Le Tissier was a UK soccer legend who had a 17-year playing career with the Southampton Football Club. 
 
His skills on the field earned him the nickname ‘Le God’ before he left the sport and became a sports commentator, most recently with Sky Sports. As he describes in the interview, he lost that job for speaking out and drawing attention to the large numbers of unexplained sudden cardiac deaths among professional and amateur athletes worldwide. However, he has no regrets and feels it is more important to stand up for what is right than to cower to authority. Continue reading >>>
 
 

 

While some nations (UK, Poland, and Lithuania for example) are pushing hard for Russia to be shut out of SWIFT - the global electronic payment-messaging system - many others are anxious of executing the so-called 'nuclear option' for fear of the potential blowback.

“The EU isn’t on board with removing Russia from SWIFT for one thing because the EU isn’t on board with letting go of Russian energy,” said Erik Meyersson, a Stockholm-based senior economist covering the Eurozone at Svenska Handelsbanken AB.

The former president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, was unhappy that some nations - Germany, Italy, and Hungary (who just happen to get significant amounts of their energy supply from Russia) rejected the call for SWIFT shutout...

As a reminder, The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT, is the financial-messaging infrastructure that links the world’s banks. The Belgium-based system is run by its member banks and handles millions of daily payment instructions across more than 200 countries and territories and 11,000 financial institutions. Iran and North Korea are cut off from it.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau Defends Freedom, But Not In Canada

 

 

 


The World's newest fascist dictator, Justin Trudeau Picture: Conservative Brief


Following the Russian incursion into Ukranian territory in defence of ethnic Rusians in the separatist regions of Donbas, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken a stand in support of freedom. Sadly it was not about freedom for individuals in the country he leads.

“Russia’s flagrant disregard for the independence of a sovereign nation is a serious threat to security and stability in the region and around the world,” the prime minister said, as the thuggish bully boys of his Royal Canadian Mounted Police Force continued the brutal assault ordered by Trudeau on the trucker Freedom Convoy, The National Post reported.

“Canada and our allies will defend democracy. We are taking these actions today in a stand against authoritarianism,” he said. “The people of Ukraine, like all people must be free to determine their own future. We will continue working with our international of partners to safeguard Ukraine’s territorial integrity and prevent further Russian aggression.”

After the assaults on human rights perpetrated by government leaders in most developed nations in their botched and ineffective responses to the COVID pandemic it would be gratifying to see a political leader stand up for democracy and freedom, but Trudeau doing so while simultaneously presiding over the arrests and beatings of truckers and many citizens who turned out to support them for participating in the Freedom Convoy is pure hypocrisy. Trudeau's 'woke - liberal' response to the pandemic has been the most authoritarian and human rights violating on the planet. 

Inside every work liberal there's an evil little Nazi trying to get out of course, and in implementing mask and vaccine mandates, draconian punishments for violating undemocratic lockdown orders and in by passing the democratic process and usurping the powers of the elected assembly to himself, when it comes to fascistic authoritarianism Trudeau has shown he cam make Hitler and Mussolini look like a couple of bumbling amateurs.

Take the case of one of the Freedom Convoy’s organizers, Tamara Lich, who on her arrest was denied bail because the judge was not convinced that she would go home and follow the conditions she would have to, The CBC reported.

Lich, the Alberta woman behind a now-halted GoFundMe campaign that raised over $10 million to support the protest in Ottawa (money which was stolen by the state on Trudeau's orders, ) was arrested and charged Thursday with counselling to commit mischief, whatever that may be. It certainly does not sound like a serious crime

Before her arrest, Lich told journalists she wasn’t concerned about being arrested, didn’t think the protest was illegal and also said her bank account was frozen.

Arrested, no bail, bank accounts frozen and sitting behind bars for the crime of “mischief?” It seems the worst crime one can commit in Turdeau's Canada is to disagree with Dictator Trudeau on anything

There is a fundamental question that needs to be asked when examining the vaccine passport issue, and what I find is that almost no one in the mainstream is tackling it directly.

You Must Make Sacrifices To Compensate For The One Per Cent's Enormous Carbon Footprint

 24 February 2022


Private Jet versus Luxury Yacht - which would YOU give up to reduce yout Carbon footprint

While the money and political elites are turning up the climate change scareorator way past eleven once more in order to keep populations in a state of fear now that the COVID scare is crumbling, the finger of blame for the doomsday scenarios predicted by climate mathematical models is as usual being pointed at We The Ordinary Punters.

"WE are all in this together and YOU must make sacrifices to save the planet," warn political leaders, clueless academics and the billionaire psychopaths who have bought control of politics, academia and the media. And few people stop to question why WE must make sacrifices while THEY continue to fly round the world in private jets, cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean in luxury yachts that are more like floating palaces that leisure craft, and live in floodlit, air conditioned palaces that consume more energy than a middle sized town.

Well some of us do question, we are known to the majority as either online journalists or 'conspiracy theorists' depending on a reader's politics, and to the politicians, academics, billionaire psychopaths and people on their payrolls as "that bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards who refuse to believe 'The Science' and insist on challenging oppressive policies devised 'for the greater good.' 

Thanks to us bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards, and the statistics nerds at Statistia it is now becoming widely known that the world's richest ten percent are responsible for an estimated 47 percent share of global CO2 emissions. This has been revealed by a recent study published in the journal Nature Sustainability, which focused on how tackling poverty worldwide would affect emissions of CO2, the harmless but demonised gas without which life is not possible but which has unscientifically been blamed for all the mathematical models of climate related catastrophes in the past thirty years. As Statista's Florian Zandt shows in the chart below, the difference between the poorest and wealthiest people not only shows in their emission share.

ad the lower 50 percent income group only produces about  ton of CO2 per year compared to approximately 48 tons per capita of carbon dioxide emitted by the wealthiest one percent. 

Infographic: The One Percent's Huge Carbon Footprint | Statista

You will find more infographics at Statista

Of course, the results are different depending on the region. In Europe, USA, Canada or Australia for example, the bottom 50 percent had a higher estimated share of total emissions than the top ten percent, while the top one percent in Sub-Saharan Africa were responsible for more carbon emissions than the bottom 50 percent.

Combating poverty (a goal only committed virtue signallers would see as realistic,) around the world would require an unprecedented level of cooperation between nations and present logistical challenges of a scale never before envisaged, its effects on global warming would be minimal according to the study. Lifting over a billion people above the official poverty line under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 would only raise the estimated global CO2 output by roughly two percent, even though carbon emissions in low to lower-middle income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa  and South East Asia could potentially double.

However the top ten per cent are unlikely to make sacrifices to reduce their gigantic footprints, and while the high to middle income groups of the developed nations are more likely to respond to the manipulative propaganda of behavioural scientists, even their scope for making a difference is tiny compared to emissions generated by manufacturing industry, transport and agriculture.

Riots against police brutality in France after police put down protests against dictatorial Hollande
Another anti-police brutality protest turned violent in the French city of Rennes, with masked youths and police engaging in running street battles.

The Ongoing Propaganda War Behind GMOs Exposed
The United States has been paying farmers for over two decades to NOT produce food, yet biotech would have us believe that genetically modified organisms are necessary to feed the world. This is but one of the many lies they have perpetrated, all the while hiding the real truth behind GM crops. Genetically modified organisms and the chemicals which support their growth are just an outcropping of the military industrial complex and the war industry.

We Told You So - Government-funded Report Confirms World’s Largest offshore Wind Farm is UnprofitableA report commissioned by the Norwegian government has contradicted Boris Johnson’s recent claim that offshore wind costs have fallen by 70% in a decade. The report also blows a huge hole in Johnson's grandiose pledges to the COP26 conference that offshore wind power would propel Britain to its net - zero target for Carbon Dioxide emissions well before 2050, the target set by the climate conference for achieving that target.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions in the Arctic zone.

Top American COVID Scaremonger Says says if you are worried about Covid vaccine, you’re most likely an insurrectionist who hates authority

The collapse of fascist regimes and fanatical cults never is simple. The New Normal is proving to be no exception.

 

Boggart Abroad his not commented beyond merely noting events in reltion to the Canadian Freedom convoy and the brutal and authoritarian measures taken by Canada's liberal - fascist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to suppress the protest and crush opposition to his totalitarian government. These measures have included enacting new laws by Prime Ministerial decree to by-pass the usual scrutiny by elected representatives of the people that is expected in a parliamentary democracy. After several weeks of citizens shocked and repulsed by Trudeau's heavy handed authoritarianism in response to the COVID pandemic exercising their legal right to express their opposition to government policy through non-violent civil disobedience, the gathering outside the Canadian parliament in Ottawa of truckers and other Canadian citizens struggling to uphold their right to not be subjected to forced “vaccination,” Justin Trudeau unleashed his Canadian version of Hitleer's SS. Thousands of militarized riot police (and other unidentified heavily-armed special ops squads) surged into the area, surrounded the protesters,and started breaking into trucks, arresting the occupants and beating them with batons and rifle butts. Yes, woke liberal - fascists like Trudeau, for all their hypocritical bullshit about inclusivity, diversity and multiculturalism, do not tolerate opposition to their authority once their haver power. In a particularly ugly incident, the Trudeau's Stormtroopers deliberately spurred their horses into a crowd of protesters, trampling among others an elderly lady with a walking frame. She had been talking to police officers on foot, reportedly saying something along the lines of “you break my heart … this is about peace, and love, and happiness.” Then the monted squad knocked her down and drove their mounts over her. It could only have been deliberate because horses will instinctively avoid threading on an unstable surface such as a moving body. Despite an abundance of video evidence clearly depicting exactly what happened, the Neo - Nazi Ottawa city authority tried to spin it away as an unfortunate accident: Here’s an overhead photo of the incident …
The big red arrow (courtesy of Marie Oakes) points to the lady’s walker, or an alleged “horse-assaulting bicycle.” Presumably, in the eyes of Trudeau supporters of Ottowa police authority, the face of the gentlemen above her also caused the horse “to trip,” or was in the process of causing the horse “to trip,” at the moment that this photo was taken. After that particular show of callous brutality things only became worse. The “show of force” aimed at imposing the will of 'woke - liberal- fascist' dictator Trudeau on the people was just getting started. After all, this was not a “mostly peaceful” outbreak of legal dissent, including looting, mugging and arson similar to that witnessed in the USA following the death of career criminal, drug pusher,violent thug and otherwise model citizen George Floyd. The Freedom Convoy was a wholly unacceptable challenge to the rule of law involving was non-violent civil disobedience, children’s bouncy castles, makeshift saunas, horn honking, music and dancing, illegal barbecuing, and other forms of “terrorist” activity, which had to be crushed with an iron fist...

Why have we doctors been silent? — by Lucie Wilk

AS an NHS hospital doctor, I have had a front-row seat as the drama of the coronavirus pandemic has unfolded. It has been a year and a half of confusion, frustration and anger for me as I’ve watched our profession drawn into complicity with what I anticipate will be regarded as one of the most egregious public health disasters in history. I have watched as ‘the science’ has been presented on the national stage flanked by Union Jack flags as an unassailable truth. For something so apparently inviolable, it seems to shift and change disconcertingly from week to week ...

Excess mortality in the United Kingdom is off the charts, and yet nobody is willing to call out Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” as the culprit. Cancer expert and Prof. Carl Heneghan describes the current situation in Great Britain as a “national scandal.” A shocking 9,300 more people than usual have died in the U.K. over the past several months, and officials are blaming everything else except the injections.

Russia-Ukraine crisis will put more pressure on the global food supply chain, driving up prices around the world

  The escalation of what was a civil conflict Russias separatist rebels and the government in Ukraine, into what could become a worldwide conflict involving the USA, NATO and the European Union threatens to put even more strain on the global food supply, driving up prices of essential staples wheat, corn and sunflower oil. The UK has already sanctioned five Russian banks. The United States and the European Union are also getting involved with their own list of sanctions.  Worse, the USA and UK, having emboldened the Ukrainian government to embark on a programme of ethnic cleansing that has been top of their wish list since 1914 when the separatist regions of Lubansk and Donetz, which both have a majority of ethnic Russians in their population, unilaterally declared independence.

Due to the idiocies of being "led by science" throughout the pandemic, coupled with a global energy crisis resulting from loonytoons green energy policies, the world is now facing an energy crisis and a batch of food shortages due to chaos in distribution systems. As conflict  in The Black Sea region  escalates, the global food supply also now hangs in the balance.


In the vast weheatfields of Unkraine (Source: Wikimedia commons)

Russia and Ukraine produce for nearly 80 percent of all sunflower oil exported around the world. Approximately 29 percent of the global  wheat exports and 19 percent of the corn (maize) supply comes from the plains of Russia and Ukraine too. Wheat, corn and sunflower oil are common components of many everyday food products that populations depend upon throughout the world. Many smaller Middle Eastern nations rely on Russian and Ukrainian wheat for stability in their food supply. If Black Sea ports on Ukranian and Russian coastlines are cut off due to armed conflict, essential shipments of grain will not be able to leave their nations of origin.

Thus if the conflict escalates, as may well happen with the governments of USA and UK still indulging in sabre rattling and ofering pledges of military support to theauthoritarian government in Kiev,  food prices which are already spiralling out of control driving many low income families into poverty, are certain to increase further. After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s R evenepublics and dispatched troops into those regions yesterday, U.S. wheat futures jumped 9.72 percent and corn futures spiked 9.34 percent from their recent low levels.

The regions that will be worst hit by food shortages, rationing, military conflict and port closures would include North Africa, Asia and the Middle East. These regions depend heavily on Russian and Ukrainian grain exports. 

Russian wheat exports are mostly sent to Africa and the Middle East; approximately 70 percent of Russian wheat was sent to these regions in 2021.

Historically Ukraine was known as 'the breadbasket of Europe' for their wheat supply. Now, with population changes, much of the middle east looks to Ukraine for grain supplies. Lebanon receives half of its wheat supply from Ukraine. Libya imports 43 percent of their wheat from the same source. Other countries that will be impacted include Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Egypt. These countries receive anywhere from 14-28 percent of their wheat supply from Ukraine, which would make a significant enough shortfall to trigger a humanitarian crisis in those regions..

Even though Ukraine hopes to export 56 million tons of grain in 2022, many of their ports and shipping routes will inevitably be disrupted should the crisis develop into a shooting war.. Most of grain exports are transported from the Black Sea which can only access The editerranean and the world's oceans via the narrow strait known as The Bosphorus. If military conflict continues in the region, a naval blockade of this shipping routes may cause The Black Sea ports be cut off for an unknown amount of time.

The threat of war in the region is already causing disruption of food supplies. Buyers in international markets are already competing to buy from different suppliers, forcing up prices.  A buyer from Singapore told Reuters:“Ships are avoiding entering the Black Sea because of the war risk, Supply disruptions are already taking place.”

New Zealand protesters take aim at Jacinda Ardern: 'She has to go'

Freedom Convoy demonstrations against Covid vaccine mandates have grown into a wider expression of frustration with the country's rules

For more than two weeks, the scene outside New Zealand’s beehive-shaped Parliament grounds has been almost festival-like. Packs of children play hopscotch in between hundreds of tents while groups of people chant Hare Krishna or offer hugs. 

What began as a spontaneous, hodge-podge attempt to ape the trucker protests seen in Canada has turned into something more organised as the crowd has swelled to around 1,500 people. Herb gardens have been planted, makeshift showers set up, and hot meals a day are served up for free three times a day by volunteers. There’s even a daycare tent.

The purpose of the protest has also grown, from discontent with the country’s controversial vaccine mandate into broader frustration with prime minister Jacinda Ardern’s government for bringing in some of the world’s strictest Covid measures. 

“I know Covid is real and I’m not anti-vax,” said self-appointed “protest peacekeeper” Linzy Noble. “But this new vaccine hasn’t been tested properly and that’s why my family isn’t ok with it. Lots of people here feel the same way. Does that make us bad people? Do we deserve to lose our careers and be treated like s--t?”

The 57-year-old painting contractor said he and his seven children were all out of work due to the vaccine mandate and that he was more worried about rising suicide rates, small businesses failing, and the long-term impacts of restrictions on kids than he was by catching Covid ...

 
Europe's energy crisis deepened Tuesday as Germany halted the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. Putin's right hand man, Dmitry Medvedev responded to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's comments about the certification of the controversial Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline that 'can't happen right now' by tweeting:

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has issued an order to halt the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Well. Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas!

Based on Medvedev's tweet, translating MWh to cubic meters, it appears gas prices for Europe could be headed back to crisis levels not seen since late 2021. 

Europe is heavily reliant on Russia for its gas needs, and to block the Nord Stream 2's certification will only create havoc in European energy markets. 

Europe's ultra-low gas storage levels for this time of year will keep the market very tight even beyond the winter season.

At a moment the United States and Europe are busy mulling over what sanctions to impose on Moscow for Putin's independence recognition for Ukraine's separatist republics - on the one hand wanting Russia to feel the pain as a warning against moving further into Ukraine (beyond what the Kremlin is dubbing "peacekeeping" troops in Donetsk and Luhansk, which entered the republics overnight), and on the other wanting to avoid severe enough economic measures that would almost guarantee immediate escalation - Germany on Tuesday has announced it has halted the certification process for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

 
 

Prominent UK Lockdown Advocate Admits He Got It Wrong

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

A prominent lockdown advocate who advised the UK government admits in a new book he got it wrong and that there was never any proper consideration of the devastation caused by lockdowns.

Well, we told you so.

Professor Mark Woolhouse is a member of SPI-M, the modelling group on SAGE, the group that advises the British government on lockdown measures.

SAGE has become notorious for consistently predicting doomsday COVID scenarios that never even come close to passing, such as last year’s warning that Omicron could cause 6,000 deaths a day in the UK without harsher restrictions.

Just as SAGE got it spectacularly wrong earlier in the summer, without substantially harsher restrictions being imposed, Omicron caused nowhere near that level of fatalities.

In a new book called The Year the World Went Mad, Woolhouse expresses regret at SAGE’s involvement in pushing lockdown measures that caused huge devastation yet only served to delay the spread of the virus.

“We knew from February [2020], never mind March, that the lockdown would not solve the problem. It would simply delay it,” said Woolhouse, adding that no one in government appeared to recognize the failing of that strategy.

“The early global response to the pandemic was woefully inadequate,” says Woolhouse, adding that the WHO praising China for its draconian ‘zero COVID’ approach set the scene for similar disasters across the world.   . ..  Continue reading >>>

Russia recognizes breakaway republics of Ukraine as U.S. tries to exploit the region for global war

 

Russia recognizes breakaway republics of Ukraine as U.S. tries to exploit the region for global war


(Natural News) As is being widely reported across the media today, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed on to Russia’s recognition of the individual states of two breakaway regions wishing to leave Ukraine: Donetsk and Luhansk.

These regions, with literally centuries of history existing as part of Russia, have reportedly signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia and are asking Russia for assistance in defending themselves against Ukraine, which doesn’t want the regions to separate from Ukraine.

The Donetsk and Luhansk regions are known to be rich in mineral resources as well as agricultural production. Ukraine wants to maintain its hold over the region in order to possess those mineral and agricultural resources, while Russia wants those regions to return to “Mother Russia” (as they once were) as part of a strategy to place more geographical buffers between Russia’s border and NATO forces which continue to expand eastward, toward Russia.

As I explain in today’s Situation Update podcast (below), it is impossible to understand the situation with Ukraine unless you study the history of World War II. The map below shows some of the Nazi regime’s eastward expansion toward Russia, where military front lines were heavily concentrated in present-day Ukraine. Continue reading >>>

How World Economic Forum Infiltrates Governments To Put Its Members As Leaders

from Great Game India February 22

Maajid Nawaz, a British activist and radio broadcaster, seemed to startle Joe Rogan, a mega-star podcaster, as he outlined how Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) is penetrating world governments to put its own members as leaders to establish a global “checkpoint society” in a Saturday discussion.

How World Economic Forum Infiltrates Governments To Put Its Members As Leaders

Nawaz, the founding head of Quilliam, a think tank dedicated to combating Islamist extremism, told Rogan in a three-hour interview broadcast Saturday that the WEF has planted its members in national leadership positions around the world to pursue the organization’s vast authoritarian goal.

Nawaz said the WEF has worked on “embedding people in government who are subscribed to” the Great Reset agenda, attempting to explain that government leaders around the world have started pulling COVID-19 mandates and constraints while keeping in place an apparatus of digital tracking and identification that shapes the embryonic phases of a digital social credit rating.

“That’s what they say,” Nawaz added, pointing out that the World Economic Forum’s webpage explains the so-called Great Reset, whose proponents have notoriously claimed that by 2030, humans will “own nothing and be happy.”

Schwab explicitly claimed that the COVID-19 reaction must be used to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions” in a 2020 book named “Covid-19: The Great Reset.”  .,.. Continue reading >>>

 

The same people in American politics who spent more than four years pretending to believe Donald Trump was an “asset” of Russian President Vladimir Putin have been spending the past few days trying to convince the country that the world is better off with Joe Biden in the White House.

Social media has been awash in anti-Trump tweets. A CNN political analyst Monday night touted Biden’s “leadership.” Hours earlier, a Washington Post columnist speculated on how Putin is missing Trump in the White House.

Fortunately, conservative commentators such as the invaluable Ben Shapiro are around to set the record straight — with the cold reality of facts that liberals try to avoid.

While there was no shortage of material attacking Trump in the Twitterverse, Shapiro was initially responding to a post by overrated historian Francis Fukuyama (the “The End of History” guy), who ludicrously claimed that Trump would “side with Russia” as it invades a neighbor.

The Daily Wire’s founding editor-in-chief pointed out that Russia under Putin has invaded Ukraine twice in recent years – and neither invasion took place while Trump was in the White House.

In fact, Biden was in the executive branch both times — as vice president under President Barack Obama, and now, God help us, as commander in chief himself.

“The ‘Biden is sucking at this, but Trump!’ stuff is laughable when it comes to Russia invading a country both before and after Trump,” Shapiro said on Tuesday. “This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s just reality.” ...  Continue reading >>>
