All of my articles on the Ukraine-Russia War — Part I, Part II, and Part III. American history is replete with examples of politicians, the corporate media, and the military-industrial complex using lies, pretences, and propaganda to sell a war to a public that would otherwise be hesitant to send their sons and daughters off to fight on foreign soil. President Lyndon B. Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to justify American military intervention in Vietnam. President George H.W. Bush used a fabricated story of Iraqi soldiers ripping babies out of incubators to start the Gulf War. President George W. Bush lied about “weapons of mass destruction”.From “Remember the Maine”, to the sinking of the Lusitania, to the Syrian gas attacks, the last century is filled with example after example of the United States government lying to its citizens to justify new wars. In all of these examples, the corporate press acted as dutiful stenographers of the military-industrial complex hypnotizing the American people with lies, deception, and propaganda. If the adage is true that the first causality of war is the truth then it should follow that the first battle between Russia and Ukraine was also won with lies.

Moscow said the vote reflected the “will of the people,” but the European Union called the elections “illegal and illegitimate“, which quickly turned violent and descended into an all-out conflict between the Ukrainian military and Russian-backed separatist forces of Luhansk and Donetsk. Between 2014 and 2022 the War in Donbaskilled an estimated 14,000 people, forcing millions of people to flee the region and turning the conflict zone into one of the world’s most mine-contaminated areas. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has had observers on the ground monitoring the situation in Donbas since the outbreak of open conflict began in 2014. The OSCE has been the only international civilian observer mission allowed to collect information from both sides of the contact line, and its data, while incomplete, remains the best available.Source: OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine OSCE observer mission provides maps in daily reports documenting the location of ceasefire violations and explosions along the contact line between the Ukrainian military and the Donbas republics. These maps clearly show that Ukraine began artillery strikes against the Donbas republics on February 16th, 2022. In other words, Ukraine began shelling the independent republics of Donetsk and Luhansk nine days before Russia announced its ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine. While the western corporate media remained completely silent, explosions documented by the OSCE increased from 76 on February 15th, to 316 on February 16th, to 654 on February 17th, and to 1,413 on February 18th. When you look carefully at the daily maps of these explosions, it is clear that the vast majority of explosions occurred on the Russian separatist side of the ceasefire line.Feb 14: 174 ceasefire violations, 41 explosions Feb 15: 153 ceasefire violations, 76 explosions Feb 16: 509 ceasefire violations, 316 explosionsFeb 17: 870 ceasefire violations, 654 explosionsFeb 18: 1,566 ceasefire violations, 1,413 explosions Feb 19-20: 3,231 ceasefire violations, 2,026 explosionsFeb 21: 1,927 ceasefire violations, 1,481 explosionsFeb 21: Russia recognizes the independence of Donetsk and LuhanskFeb 22: 1,710 ceasefire violations, 1,420 explosions Feb 24: Russia launches ‘special military operation’
Bill Gates Vaccine History of Harm and Depopulation:
There are many cases of vaccine injury caused by the Gates Foundation or those they funded some of which are noted below:
• Paralysing 490,000 children in India through polio vaccine damage between 2000 and 2017 led to Gates being asked to leave India.
• Polio epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines all linked to vaccines. In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted that the global explosion in polio was predominantly (70%) vaccine strain.
• In 2014, Kenya accused the WHO of chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a tetanus vaccine. The WHO finally admitted it had been developing the sterility vaccines for over a decade, cases followed in Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Philippines.
• In 2009, the Gates Foundation funded experimental HPV vaccines on 23,000 girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.
• In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a phase 3 trial of GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects, including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions, to 1,048 of the 5,949 children.
• In 2002 Gates’ operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Approximately 50 of the 500 children vaccinated developed paralysis. Nelson Mandela’s former senior economist, Professor Patrick Bond, described the practices as “ruthless and immoral.”
A Sterility drug in food is hinted. Biologist stresses need to curb population growth.
“November 4, 1969, New York Times feature article authored by Gladwin Hill called for sterilization chemicals to be added to the food supply to achieve globalist goals of human depopulation.
That article, entitled “A Sterility Drug in Food is Hinted” came with the byline, “Biologist Stresses Need to Curb Population Growth.”
Most people living today — especially younger people — have no idea that a key agenda of globalism is the elimination of “undesirable” humans from the gene pool. They believe that ideas of “eugenics” and genocide were only carried out by the Nazis, not by American university professors and presidential science advisors”
More than 80 GRAD rockets, a package of rockets from URAGAN and an unspecified number of 155-mm shells were fired at Donetsk today
🔥GRAPHIC VIDEO 🔥
GRAPHIC SCENE
I remind you they aren’t targeting military installations, only residential areas.
The sad news from Donetsk, is the repeated war crimes of purposefully targeting residents where there are no military installations, rather than the military of one side fighting the military of the other side, which is bad enough.
Some flag wavers need to be woken up from their mass formation psychosis. We don’t wave flags from any side and simply highlight more crimes against humanity in violation of all rules of war.
Please note that this shelling of residential areas is being enabled by the US, UK & EU governments.
Donetsk is on fire: there is a heavy shelling of the city.
The Ukrainian Terrorist Forces are conducting destructive artillery strikes of the center of Donetsk, as well as the Kiev and Kuibyshevsky districts, where MLRS shells are reported landing.
Information about the victims is coming in. It is necessary to leave the streets and go down to shelters.
Statement by the official representative of the DPR People’s Militia on the situation on June 16, 2022
💥Since the beginning of the day, according to JCCC information the enemy has fired more than 200 shells and mines from multiple launch rocket systems “Uragan” and “Grad”, 155, 152 and122mm cannon artillery, as well as 120, 82 and 60mm mortars.
💥The areas of 14 settlements of the Republic were under shelling. As a result of the Ukrainian aggression, a civilian was killed and 6 civilians were injured. 17 residential buildings, 7 civilian infrastructure facilities and 3 vehicles were damaged.
⚠️Additional information about the injured civilians and damage to infrastructure is being specified.
❗️Materials on the facts of the death and injury of civilians, as well as the destruction of civilian objects will be transferred to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the DPR for inclusion in criminal cases initiated against the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
❗️Over the day, joint actions of the military personnel of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed the following enemy weapons and military equipment: 2 M-777 howitzers, 2 BM-21 Grad MLRS, 2 trucks and more than 30 personnel. 3 enemy firing points in the area of Avdeevka were suppressed.
🕯Unfortunately, there were losses among our fighters. Over the past day, in the struggle for independence, 4 defenders of the Donetsk People’s Republic died in the line of military duty and 15 comrades were injured.
❗️We express our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
Today, on June 16, President of the Syrian Arab Republic Bashar al-Assad met with a delegation of the Donetsk People’s Republic
During a meeting with the DPR delegation, Bashar al-Assad announced the official start of the procedure for recognizing the Republic
Today, on June 16, President of the Syrian Arab Republic Bashar al-Assad met with a delegation of the Donetsk People’s Republic headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Natalia Nikonorova.
Mr. Assad greeted delegates, noting the common path of the peoples of Donbass and Syria in a fight against unfriendly United States and other Western countries. He expressed confidence in the speedy and successful completion of the operation to liberate territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics from the Kyiv regime and wished peace to be restored as soon as possible.
The President of the Syrian Arab Republic noted the readiness of the state to recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Mr Assad announced the official start of the recognition procedure and noted that the SAR Ministry of Foreign Affairs would immediately receive relevant instructions from him.
Mr. Assad asked Natalia Nikonorova to convey greetings to the Donetsk People’s Republic Head, as well as gratitude for his active position in the development of constructive and fruitful relations with Damascus.
The Foreign Minister, in turn, conveyed words of welcome from the Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the entire Donbass people. She also expressed gratitude to Mr Assad for his support and readiness to strengthen cooperation with Donbas.
In addition, Natalia Nikonorova suggested that Mr Assad consider the possibility of participation of the Syrian Arab Republic in an international tribunal against representatives of Ukrainian armed groups who are accused of committing crimes against Donbas inhabitants.
Also, the head of the DPR delegation expressed the state’s full readiness for a dynamic and mutually beneficial rapprochement between the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Syrian Arab Republic.
When it comes to lies – some Western mainstream media know no shame.
A German national TV network Tagesschau reported that Russia was responsible for for yesterday’s massive shelling of Donetsk’s residential area, when, in fact, it was the Ukrainian military behind the heinous crime.
Confirmed i.a by the UN, but would it matter for those, who “support the current thing”?
According to the official data of the DPR Joint Centre for Control and Coordination
According to the official data of the DPR Joint Centre for Control and Coordination before the special military operation start from February 17, 2022, as of 10:30 June 17, 2022:
🆘During the 118 days of escalation, 173 civilians were killed, including 9 children.
Full data on civilian deaths in the territories liberated during the special military operation are being established.
In the territories within the borders before the start of the special military operation, 826 civilians were injured of varying severity, including 61 children.
In the territories liberated during the special military operation, 1428 civilians were injured, including 76 children.
Total: 2254, including 137children.
🏠Damages:
– 4492 residential buildings;
– 963 civilian infrastructure facilities, including 61 medical institutions, 178 educational institutions, 324 social security facilities, 29 critical infrastructure facilities, 372 electricity, water and gas supply facilities. The armed formations of Ukraine attack Kuibyshevsky, Budenovsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk, Gorlovka and Verkhnetoretskoe.
– 493 vehicles.
At the moment, it is impossible to establish for certain the data on damage and destruction of residential housing construction and civil infrastructure facilities in the territories liberated during the special military operation.
📈 During the 118 days of the escalation of the DPR JCCC recorded 4379 facts of firing, of which 4060 with the use of heavy weapons.
💥In total, the enemy fired 38 497 ammunition of various calibers, including 28 missiles from the Tochka-U tactical ballistic missile system, 14 missiles from the BM-30 Smerch MLRS, 84 BM-27 Uragan MLRS missiles and 6895 BM-21 Grad MLRS missiles.

The European (EEA and non-EEA countries) database of suspected drug reaction reports is EudraVigilance, verified by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and they are now reporting 38,983 fatalities and 3,530,362 injuries following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots:
From the total of injuries recorded, almost half of them (1,672,872 ) are serious injuries.
“Seriousness provides information on the suspected undesirable effect; it can be classified as ‘serious’ if it corresponds to a medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalisation, results in another medically important condition, or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.”
A Health Impact News subscriber in Europe ran the reports for each of the four COVID-19 shots we are including here. It is a lot of work to tabulate each reaction with injuries and fatalities, since there is no place on the EudraVigilance system we have found that tabulates all the results.
Since we have started publishing this, others from Europe have also calculated the numbers and confirmed the totals.*

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering heavy losses, and this could lead to a turning point in the conflict
“Any way you count it, the figures are stark: Ukrainian casualties are running at a rate of somewhere between 6oo and 1,000 a day. One presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, told the Guardian this week it was 150 killed and 800 wounded daily; another, Mykhaylo Podolyak, told the BBC that 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops a day were being killed.
The sheer number – more than 20,000 casualties a month – raises questions about what state Ukraine’s army will be in if the war drags on into the autumn“, the MSM are falsely claiming that Ukraine is winning.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has authorized Russia to enter the country
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has authorized the entry of Russian troops, ships and aircraft into the country for humanitarian purposes from the second half of 2022.
Permission granted to participate in training, exercises, humanitarian aid operations and so on.
The country also allowed the entry of military personnel from the United States, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic.
Arestovich threatens the West
Arestovich threatens the West: If Putin wins, then 500 thousand Ukrainians will fight for Russia and no one can stop this force
“…if Putin wins. And 500,000 Ukrainian army will join the 1.5 million Russian army. Everyone saw how we can fight. And where then will the troops be able to stop this united force and plus Belarus?“
Zelensky’s representative urged those “who still doesn’t understand” to start weapon supplies to Kiev as quickly and as much as possible.
“If we say we are for Russia, they will shoot us.”
Kids in Ukraine threatened by Ukrainian soldiers
A few words about the situation with mercenaries in the DPR
1️⃣ The US and Britain condemned the death sentence for foreign mercenaries in the DPR, trying to portray them as “Ukrainian military personnel”.
2️⃣ In Ukraine, they said they want to include them in the list for the exchange. It should be mentioned that two of the three convicts previously offered to exchange themselves for Medvedchuk at the rate of 2 mercenaries for 1 Medvedchuk.
3️⃣ In Moscow, the Western statements about the death sentence were called hysteria and the Kremlin advised Kyiv not to interfere with the work of the DPR judicial system.
4️⃣ Moscow does not officially plan to discuss the topic of mercenaries with the West, offering Britain and Co. to apply directly to the DPR, where the judgement rendered.
5️⃣ Britain has so far refused to connect directly to the DPR, as this undermines the policy of non-recognition of the DPR in the West.
6️⃣ During June, the mercenaries will be waiting for the results of the appeal against the verdict, counting on a mitigation of the sentence. They have 30 days to do so. There is also an option to file a clemency petition to Pushilin.
7️⃣ In case of refusal, they are threatened with execution (according to the law, in the DPR they don’t hang, but shoot).
8️⃣ Trials of Ukrainian war criminals should take place in the DPR before the end of summer. As the trial of foreign mercenaries has shown, they will not delay too long.
Ukraine shell citizens again. Two dead
The result of the shelling of the Maisky market, the rear of the Budyonovsky district of Donetsk, by Ukrainian bastards. Two dead and many wounded civilians. Artillery roosters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are unlikely to be captured.
The government is not testing drinking water for PFAS, which studies have linked to numerous health issues
The UK government is not testing drinking water for a group of toxic manmade chemicals linked to a range of diseases including cancers, while across the world people are falling sick and suing for hundreds of millions of dollars at a time after finding the substances in their tap water.
Known collectively as PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances), or “forever chemicals” because they are designed never to break down in the environment, the substances are used for their water- and grease-repellent properties in everything from cookware and clothing to furniture, carpets, packaging, coatings and firefighting foams.
When PFAS, of which there are thousands, enter the environment, they accumulate in soil, water, animals and human blood. Following a landmark legal case in the US made famous by the Mark Ruffalo film Dark Waters, a huge epidemiological study was carried out that linked PFAS to high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer, and kidney cancer and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Separate studies have made connections between PFAS and miscarriage, reduced birth weight, endocrine disruption, reduced sperm quality, delayed puberty, early menopause and reduced immune response to tetanus vaccination. Scientists have also found that the substances can be passed from mother to baby via the placenta and breast milk.
On top of multiple class actions in the US, cases are being brought around the world. In Australia, two towns adjacent to airbases using PFAS in firefighting foam have been warned not to drink their tap water, and in Italy industry is thought to have exposed 350,000 people to the toxic contaminant. It is estimated that almost everyone in the world now has PFAS in their blood.
In England, the Environment Agency says PFAS is “ubiquitous in the environment”, particularly in its waters, making it unlikely that drinking water sources have escaped contamination. But unlike countries such as the US, where a nationwide testing scheme is underway, the UK government has so far only made plans to make plans to understand the levels of drinking water pollution.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) says it takes “the risks posed by PFAS chemicals very seriously, which is why we’re working at pace with regulators to better assess their presence in our natural environment and their sources.” It says it is “developing its approach to managing risk from PFAS” but it is not testing drinking water.
Water companies do not routinely test for PFAS either. Instead, they are expected to “consider” just two restricted PFAS – PFOS and PFOA – in their risk assessments. According to Defra, there “have been no notifications of an event associated with elevated levels of PFOS or PFOA since 2005”. In Scotland, only PFOA is risk-assessed.
Dr Ian Ross, the global PFAS practice lead at the consultancy Tetra Tech, says the huge number of potential PFAS sources – from airfields and industry to landfills and car washes – make risk assessment very difficult.
“Water companies may need to perform a detailed assessment of many catchments considering a multitude of PFAS sources before determining that water from each catchment is unlikely to supply PFAS-impacted water,” Ross said. “This is more concerning now a new, lower, 10 nanogram/litre limit from the drinking water inspectorate has been introduced, which triggers consultation with health professionals.”
The industry group WaterUK said: “Companies in risk areas have monitoring in place to support the removal of PFAS, and other potentially harmful substances, to ensure drinking water is clean and safe.”
Even so, the drinking water inspectorate has only set the 10ng/l limit for PFOS and PFOA, and there are no limits on the wider group of chemicals. In contrast, Denmark has a limit of 100ng/l for the total of 12 PFAS, with lower levels proposed for PFOS of 3ng/l; Sweden has set a 90ng/l for the sum of 11 PFAS, and Bavaria has regulated 13 individual PFAS to a range of limits between 0.1 micrograms (µg)/l and 10µg/l.
The EU recently revised its drinking water directive, reducing the acceptable level to 100ng/l for 20 types of PFAS and 500 ng/l for all PFAS substances. The directive entered into force in January and member states have two years to adopt it.
It is not clear whether the UK will follow suit. Defra has said it will “consider the effect of the changes made to the directive” but did not commit to adopt it.
Dr Paul Johnston, from Greenpeace’s research laboratory at the University of Exeter, said: “We’re flying blind on this as a nation,” adding that the government had “had plenty of heads up on this from what has been going on in the US”.
He said: “It’s quite baffling why it hasn’t been done systematically if only to validate the risk assessments … you need to be able to back it up with real-world analysis.”
Dr Julie Schneider, of the chemicals charity Chem Trust, said: “People have the right to know if the water from their tap is contaminated with these harmful chemicals. We urgently need a full assessment of PFAS contamination in drinking water in the UK. Continuous exposure to PFAS may lead to long-term adverse health effects, and drinking water is recognised as one of the main sources of our exposure to PFAS.”
An outright ban on all non-essential uses of PFAS is under discussion among EU countries, but there are no signs that the UK intends to take the same tack. “Every year of delay in regulating these chemicals means an increasing level of exposure due to their extreme persistence and capacity to accumulate in the water and the wider environment,” said Schneider.
Responding to the use restrictions put in place on PFOS and PFOA, the industry has created replacement chemicals known as GenX, but researchers suggest these could be just as harmful to humans and the environment and could be even harder to detect.

HCG Found in WHO Tetanus Vaccine in Kenya Raises Concern in the Developing World
“In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine.
Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. Expected results are abortions in females already pregnant and/or infertility in recipients not yet impregnated. Repeated inoculations prolong infertility.
Currently WHO researchers are working on more potent anti-fertility vaccines using recombinant DNA. WHO publications show a long-range purpose to reduce population growth in unstable “less developed countries”.
By November 1993 Catholic publications appeared saying an abortifacient vaccine was being used as a tetanus prophylactic. In November 2014, the Catholic Church asserted that such a program was underway in Kenya. Three independent Nairobi accredited biochemistry laboratories tested samples from vials of the WHO tetanus vaccine being used in March 2014 and found hCG where none should be present. In October 2014, 6 additional vials were obtained by Catholic doctors and were tested in 6 accredited laboratories. Again, hCG was found in half the samples. Subsequently, Nairobi’s AgriQ Quest laboratory, in two sets of analyses, again found hCG in the same vaccine vials that tested positive earlier but found no hCG in 52 samples alleged by the WHO to be vials of the vaccine used in the Kenya campaign 40 with the same identifying batch numbers as the vials that tested positive for hCG.
Given that hCG was found in at least half the WHO vaccine samples known by the doctors involved in administering the vaccines to have been used in Kenya, our opinion is that the Kenya “anti-tetanus” campaign was reasonably called into question by the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association as a front for population growth reduction.”
Social media users are sharing the claim that there is a planned increase in fires at food processing plants to purposefully create food shortages. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.
Of course, these are simply coincidences. Just 65 plants in the USA alone. Not including the 2 trains that derailed carrying thousands of tonnes of fertilizer. One in Canada and one in the U.S. And a few planes crashed into a few plants too. But hey FACT CHECKERS. You don’t check, you just hide facts best you can.
Also the hundreds of millions of animals that have been culled around the world, pigs, boars, cows, dears and chickens from a variety of pathogens. Bird flu, wind flu and foot in mouth.
It’s amazing how many pathogens have hit the world’s food sources at the same time as fires, crashes and cyber attacks hit the same type of target too. Of course, the UN is ready to step in and save you with its protein alternative. Yep, it was already done and packed 12 months ago. It’s like someone has a crystal ball, the protein alternative is crushed up grasshopper, cockroaches and mealworms. They made the monkeypox vaccine 4 years ago too. I mean it’s like conspiracy theorists look for cures for diseases being made that are not needed and put 2 plus 2 together and get 4. But hey that’s just stupid talk, I’m sure this is all one big coincidence. Everything I ham publishing here is just a conspiracy of course. As I said, I was talking about the food shortages 3 years ago, I wonder what I was reading then? I can’t remember, but it may have been something along the lines of “ disrupt the food supply and get the UN in with those insects.
What? Why? Oh sorry. Yes, there is a why. It costs billions to feed, process and pack meat every day, and the amount of grazing land is phenomenal. But can you imagine how much money this elite would make if they were to buy shares in a company that has not touched its full potential yet? If I knew the name I would not hesitate to buy shares. Plus free up land and less food processing and fertilizer?
Anyway, I said this is all coincidence of course. Ukraine by the way is stopping the wheat from having safe passage along with Turkey. Russia has said yes and given safe passage but of course, Russia will be blamed again. You really should read my other blogs for the truth of what’s going on. If you have any doubt about the list of coincidental fires below, please feel free to contact them all

Like I’ve said many times. Start Prepping now. America you have 5 months. Maybe more maybe less, but you’re going to feel it within 3 months.
There is going to be a food crisis, if not a famine. I warned of this almost 3 years ago now. The best thing to do is stock up on tinned food, especially tinned meat and tuna or anything high in protein.
Here’s some news that you don’t get on your TV. Everything is verified and true just like all the other blogs I do.
Just take a mental note and consider this. For over 100 years we’ve not had a serious problem with pandemics etc. But now we have covid which was run in lockstep with other countries, with over 70 food processing plants destroyed, over 12 million chickens culled because of bird flu, and pigs and boars killed because of African swine flu, cows culled because of foot and mouth and then there’s dear culled too.
They like to blame Africa for everything, don’t they! Because they are easy mute from our media.
So let’s see the hidden news.
Italy: African Swine Fever prompts culling of 2.1 million boar, export bans
The European Union on Monday told Italy to establish an infected zone for African swine fever in areas of Rome and implement special control measures to stop it spreading.
It said Italy must “ensure that consignments of porcine animals kept in the areas listed as an infected zone… and products thereof are not authorised for movements to other Member States and to third countries”.
The government plans to cull wild boar, after several cases of swine fever were detected in Rome and with the animals becoming increasingly brazen about their encroachments into residential areas as they forage, especially in the capital.
The Rome cases, which rose to six Friday, are the first outside the area of the original outbreak in Liguria and Piedmont.
The authorities said two more cases were found in Liguria on Monday, taking the total for that region and Piedmont up to 119.
The Coldiretti farm group said some 2.1 million boar needed to be culled in Italy as “a real risk to public safety”. (ANSA).
Note that Iran plans to use “Digital Coupons” to get bread
. “Other food items will be added later.” — We are already arriving at digital food rationing.
Soaring bread prices have triggered protests in Iran in which some shops were set on fire, prompting police to arrest scores of “provocateurs”
Soaring bread prices spark protests and shop fires in Iran
The protests were triggered by a cut in government subsidies for imported wheat that caused price hikes as high as 300 percent for a variety of flour-based staples.
Iran’s official inflation rate is around 40%, and some estimate it is over 50%. Almost half Iran’s 82 million population are now below the poverty line.
The government plans to offer digital coupons in the next couple of months for limited amounts of bread at subsidised prices. The rest will be offered at market rates. Other food items will be added later.
Soaring bread prices spark protests and shop fires in Iran, IRNA reports

DUBAI, May 13 (Reuters) – Soaring bread prices have triggered protests in Iran in which some shops were set on fire, prompting police to arrest scores of “provocateurs”, the official IRNA news agency said on Friday.
The protests were triggered by a cut in government subsidies for imported wheat that caused price hikes as high as 300 percent for a variety of flour-based staples.
Iran’s official inflation rate is around 40%, and some estimate it is over 50%. Almost half Iran’s 82 million population are now below the poverty line.
The government plans to offer digital coupons in the next couple of months for limited amounts of bread at subsidised prices. The rest will be offered at market rates. Other food items will be added later.
There were scattered protests in a number of cities, according to IRNA, in which crowds chanted slogans against price rises and some shops were set on fire.
In total, 22 people were arrested.
“Despite attempts by provocateurs to incite protesters, the rallies ended with the intervention of security forces,” said IRNA, adding that calm had been restored.
The largest protest was in Dezful in the oil-rich southwestern province of Khuzestan, where IRNA said an estimated 300 people were dispersed by security forces. It said 15 people were arrested for “trying to create chaos” in the city.
About 200 people demonstrated in Shahr-e Kord in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province in western Iran on Thursday, IRNA said.
While state TV said calm had returned to Shahr-e Kord, videos posted on social media indicated that the unrest had spread on Friday to cities including Ardabil in the northwest, Rasht in the north and Iranshahr in the southeast. Reuters could not independently authenticate the videos.
In the first signs of discontent over price rises, Iranian media last week reported disrupted internet services, an apparent attempt to stop the use of social media to organise rallies and disseminate videos.
While Friday’s IRNA report was the first acknowledgement of the protests by Iran’s official media, video posted on social media this week have shown protesters in Dezful and other cities chanting slogans against price hikes and the country’s leaders.
Wheat prices have drastically increased globally since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, adding to the cost of subsidies in Iran.
Iranian officials have also blamed the price hikes on the smuggling of subsidised bread into neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan.
Sri Lankan Prime Minister’s special statement
Never seen such an honest appraisal from a public servant of an absolutely catastrophic situation as Sri Lanka’s new prime minister just shared – full transcript is linked, and worth reading:
He said;
“The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. We must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and face the challenges of this period.
I have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. Although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying, this is the true situation. For a short period, our future will be even more difficult than the tough times that we have passed. We will face considerable challenges and adversity.
Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s special statement addressing the nation commenced a short while ago.
The Prime Minister explained how he proposes to confront the current economic crisis.
At this moment, Sri Lanka’s economy is at a very dangerous position, the Prime Minister said.
He said Sri Lanka’s foreign exchange reserves were USD 7.5 billion in November 2019, however today the treasury is unable to find even one million US dollars.
Full Speech
Last Thursday, I accepted office as the Prime Minister. I did not request this position. In face of the challenging situation facing the country, the President invited me to take up this position. I assumed this duty not only as a political leader, but also as national leader who has benefited from free education at the Faculty of Law of the University of Colombo.
At present, the Sri Lankan economy is extremely precarious. Although the former government’s budget projected a revenue of SLR 2.3 trillion, SLR 1.6 trillion is the realistic projection of this year’s revenue.
The estimated government expenditure for this year is SLR 3.3 trillion. However, due to the increase in interest rates and additional expenditure of the former government, the total government expenditure is SLR 4 trillion. The budget deficit for the year is SLR 2.4 trillion. This amount equals 13% of the GDP.
The approved debt ceiling is SLR 3200 billion. By the second week of May, we had spent 1950 billion. Therefore, the remainder is SLR 1250 billion. Yesterday, a cabinet decision was made to present a proposal to parliament to increase the approved limit for issuing treasury bills from 3000 billion to 4000 billion.
In November 2019, our foreign exchange reserves were at USD 7.5 billion. However, today, it is a challenge for the treasury to find USD 1 million. The Ministry of finance is finding it difficult to raise USD 5 million required to import gas.
Amidst all these issues we are faced with several grave concerns. To ease the queues, we must obtain approximately USD 75 million within the next couple of days. At the moment, we only have petrol stocks for a single day. Due to the diesel shipment that arrived yesterday, the diesel lack of diesel will be resolved to some extent. Under the Indian credit line, two more diesel shipments are due to arrive on the 18th May and 1st June. In addition, two petrol shipments are expected on 18th and 29th May. For over 40 days 3 ships with crude oil and furnace oil have been anchored within the maritime zone of Sri Lanka. We are working to obtain dollars in the open market to pay for these shipments.
A quarter of electricity is generated through oil. Therefore, there is a possibility that the daily power outages will increase to 15 hours a day. However, we have already obtained money to avert this crisis. We must also immediately obtain USD 20 million to provide gas to consumers. The situation of kerosene and furnace oil is even more urgent. At present, the Central Bank, local state and private banks, and foreign banks functioning in Sri Lanka are all facing a dollar shortage. As you are already aware, we possess a very low amount of US dollars. Nevertheless, we succeeded in bringing in a diesel shipment yesterday despite these adverse circumstances with Indian assistance. Therefore, you can obtain that diesel from today onwards. We will also work towards making a payment for the gas shipment that arrived on Tuesday. Therefore, you will have some respite from the gas shortage.
Another grave concern is the lack of medicine. There is a severe shortage of a number of medicines including medicine required for heart disease as well as surgical equipment. Payments have not been made for four months to suppliers of medicine, medical equipment, and food for patients. The payment owed to them amounts to SLR 34 billion. In addition, payments have not been made for four months for medicine imported by the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are taking steps to blacklist the SPC. Unfortunately, our Medical Supplies Division is unable to provide even two critical items of the 14 essential medicines that we currently need. These two are a medicine used in treating heart disease and the anti-rabies vaccine. The latter has no alternative treatment.
We have planned to present a new alternative budget to the development budget proposed for 2022. Intend to present it as a concessionary budget.
I further propose to privatise Sri Lankan Airlines which is incurring extensive losses. The loss for the year 2020-2021 alone amounts to SLR 45 billion. By 31st March 2021, the total loss was at 372 billion. Even if we privatise Sri Lankan Airlines, this is a loss that we must bear. You must be aware that this is a loss that must be borne even by the poor people of this country who have never stepped on an airplane.
In the short term we will have to face an even more difficult time period. There is a possibility that inflation will increase further.
At present, the government incurs a loss of SLR 84.38 per liter of 92 octane petrol, 71.19 per liter of 95 octane petrol, 131.55 per liter of diesel, 136.31 per liter of super diesel, and 294.50 per liter of kerosene oil. The Petroleum Corporation can no longer bear this loss. Similarly, although the Electricity Board charges SLR 17 per unit of electricity the cost of production is at around SLR 48 amounting to a loss of about SLR 30 per unit. This is also a serious problem.
Against my own wishes, I am compelled to permit printing money in order to pay state-sector employees and to pay for essential goods and services. However, we must remember that printing money leads to the depreciation of the rupee. Under the current circumstances, even the Petroleum Corporation and the Electricity Board are unable to obtain rupees.
The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. We must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and face the challenges of this period.
I have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. Although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying, this is the true situation. For a short period, our future will be even more difficult than the tough times that we have passed. We will face considerable challenges and adversity. However, this period will not be long. In the coming months, our foreign allies will assist us. They have already pledged their support. Therefore, we will have to patiently bear the next couple of months. However, we can overcome this situation. Doing so will require taking a new path.
I thank the opposition leader and the leaders of the political parties who replied to the letters that I sent them informing them of the current situation.
We must immediately establish a national assembly or political body with the participation of all political parties to find solutions for the present crisis. This will enable us to discuss with all parties and to arrive at decisions for short-, medium-, and long-term action plans that will enable us to rebuild our nation within a specified time frame.
We will build a nation without queues for kerosene, gas, and fuel; a nation free of power outages, a nation with plentiful resources where agriculture can freely flourish; a nation where the future of the youth is secure; a nation where people’s labour need not be wasted in queues and in struggles; a nation where everyone can lead their lives freely with three square meals a day.
I am undertaking a dangerous challenge. In the Caucasian Chalk Circle, Grusha crossed the broken rope bridge carrying a child that was not her own. This is an even more difficult undertaking. The precipice is deep and its bottom cannot be seen. The bridge is made of thin glass and there is no handrail. I am wearing shoes with sharp nails that cannot be removed. My task is to safely take the child to the other side. I am accepting this challenge for our nation. My goal and dedication is not to save an individual, a family, or a party. My objective is to save all the people of this country and the future of our younger generation. I will undertake this task willingly risking my life if needed and will overcome the challenges facing us. I ask you to extend your support to me in this endeavour.
I will fulfill my duty towards our nation.
That is my promise to you.
Farmers left heartbroken as Queensland floods ruin crops
Shoppers warned the price of fresh fruit and vegetables will rise after latest rain event
Farmers who risked planting after the February deluge lost entire crops and face financial ruin after the second deluge.
Lockyer Valley’s mayor, Tanya Milligan, said crops were rotting in the ground and 90% of insurance claims have been rejected.
“A lot of those farmers were hoping and depending on that (insurance payout),” Milligan said.
“We will have farmers that have no intention to replant. You have people that have just lost absolutely everything and they will be wondering is it all worth it?
Amish Farmer Faces $250K Fine, Jail Time And Losing His Sustainable Farm For Processing His Own Meat
Amos Miller’s private food club members say they don’t want their grass-fed meat treated with the chemical preservatives required by all USDA-approved processing plants
Amos Miller says he is being persecuted by the federal government for practicing his religious freedom to raise and prepare food the way he believes God intended food to be raised and prepared – by nature.
Miller practices rotational grazing on his small, holistically managed, century old farm in Bird-In-Hand Pennsylvania. His heritage-breed cows are raised on organic pastures, with the chickens following behind, eating the bugs from their dropping, and whey-fed pigs trampling all the fertilizer back into the ground after that.
Around 4000 customers of his private, members-only, food buying club are dependent on his meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as fermented fruits and veggies… and are willing to spend top dollar to get it shipped to them all over the country, as they don’t trust food from the grocery store.
But a couple of weeks ago, a federal judge told Miller to cease and desist all meat sales, and sent armed U.S. marshals to search his property, farm store and freezers. They took an inventory of all his meat to make sure he doesn’t sell any or slaughter any more animals.
Last summer, the judge also ordered Miller to pay $250,000 for “contempt of court,” and said he will also have to pay the salaries of the USDA investigators assigned to his case, $50,000 of which was due last week as a “good faith” payment to avoid jail.
Cows may need permit to graze meadows in Netherlands
Dairy farmers are angry and surprised now that a court decision opens the door to a permit requirement to let cows roam in the meadow. “This shows the absurdity of the nitrogen policy,” says Trienke Elshof, a farmer in Oldetrijne.
Turkey attempted to mediate safe passage in the Black Sea for Ukraine’s grain harvest but objected to the Black Sea proposal in a statement on Tuesday before the talks in Turkey.
“We cannot rule out Russia’s plans to use such a corridor to attack Odesa and southern Ukraine. That is why effective security guarantees are needed to restore shipping,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
The stakes of a possible deal are enormous, with a significant portion of the world’s food supply on the line. Russia’s invasion left around 20 million metric tons of grain and seeds stranded in Ukrainian territory seized by Russia or cut off from the Black Sea ports through which it is normally exported. Russia’s bombing of roads, bridges and other infrastructure, along with a blockade of Ukraine’s ports, have added to the obstacles to getting grain out of the country, Ukrainian officials and farmers say.
“We emphasize that decisions must be made with the participation of all parties involved. We will reject any agreements that do not take into account the interests of Ukraine,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

Ukrainian special services are preparing anti-Russian rallies in Europe
An influential insider has revealed some information on the Ukrainian special services’ preparing public events in the countries of Europe. As I see it, the main thing about this is not that fact the Ukrainian special services are preparing anti-Russian rallies at the Russian embassies in other countries. The key thing to understand here is that the Ukrainian special services stage their activities outside Ukraine – within the territory of Europe. I wonder what the Europeans feel about the fact that the security services of Ukraine undertake special operations in their countries, which includes gaslighting and affecting the Europeans themselves.
British citizens Aiden Aslin and Sean Pinner
The government of Ukraine will, as a matter of priority, include British citizens Aiden Aslin and Sean Pinner, who were sentenced to death by the DPR court, in the nearest list for the exchange of prisoners of war, said British MP Robert Jenrick.
The US is heavily reliant on China and Russia for its ammo supply chain. Congress wants to fix that
The United States has relied almost entirely on China – and to a lesser extent Russia – in recent years to procure a critical mineral that is vital to producing ammunition.
The mineral antimony is critical to the defence-industrial supply chain and is needed to produce everything from armour-piercing bullets and explosives to nuclear weapons as well as sundry other military equipment, such as night-vision goggles.
Now national stocks are only enough until 2025. America began to look for alternative sources of semi-metal so as not to stop production.
By the end of October this year, the Pentagon should prepare a forecast for five years, which will relate to the supply of raw materials.
After Japan cut off the U.S. supply of antimony from China during World War II, the United States began procuring the mineral from ore in an Idaho goldmine. However, that mine ceased production in 1997.
“There is no domestic mine for antimony,” according to a 2020 report from the U.S. Geological Survey, a government agency. “ China is the largest producer of mined and refined antimony and a major source of imports for the United States.” Russia is in second place, and Tajikistan is in third.
Aiden Aslin: don’t get involved in someone else’s war
– President Zelensky assures that foreign military are ready to come to fight in Ukraine… would you like to say smth to them who wants to come to fight?
– Yes, don’t get involved in someone else’s war. Look at me. I’ve been held prisoner for 2 months now and Zelensky has never said anything about me and my situation. He doesn’t try to help me at all. During these 2 months, the authorities of the DPR have done more for me than Ukraine. They feed me, they give me water, they gave me new clothes instead of my old uniform. They fulfill all obligations under the Geneva Convention. Here I am treated better than in Ukraine.
During these 2 months, the Ukrainian side did not contact me at all. I tried to call them, but no one picks up the phone. I’ve addressed Zelensky several times on my channel, every week I record an appeal to the British authorities, my lawyer helps me. I got the feeling I was abandoned by both the Ukrainian and British authorities.
The head of the British Foreign Office discussed with Kuleba the situation with the British convicted in the DPR, London is working with Kyiv to release them, Johnson’s office said.
Currently, 235 settlements are under our control.
There is an advance in the direction of Sloviansk.
There’s been war as long as I’ve lived.’
The children of Donbass have been living under Ukrainian shelling for eight years. Here are their stories.
2 civilians were killed in Gorlovka today. Women born in 1954 and 1957.
Putin’s guilty. Again. Putin takes the sun out of Ukraine.
Thomas Röper is a German journalist, and author of the Anti-Spiegel project
specifically for the InterTime Telegram channel about how events in the Donbas are covered in Germany (and are they covered at all ?).
“In Germany, there is, in general, no information about what is happening in the Donbass, and there never was such information. Since 2014, the topic has not been in the media for months. The average citizen doesn’t know what’s going on here. Therefore, to remain silent about the fact that Donbas is being shelled is not a problem at all.
The media show quite general maps. On them nothing is clear to an ordinary citizen. So I’m trying to explain and show it in my articles.
They are aware of situation in Ukraine. Kherson, Melitopol… But what is the situation in the Donbas, they do not know.”
A few words about the situation with mercenaries in the DPR
1️⃣ The US and Britain condemned the death sentence for foreign mercenaries in the DPR, trying to portray them as “Ukrainian military personnel”.
2️⃣ In Ukraine, they said they want to include them in the list for the exchange. It should be mentioned that two of the three convicts previously offered to exchange themselves for Medvedchuk at the rate of 2 mercenaries for 1 Medvedchuk.
3️⃣ In Moscow, the Western statements about the death sentence were called hysteria and Kremlin advised to Kiev not to interfere with the work of the DPR judicial system.
4️⃣ Moscow does not officially plan to discuss the topic of mercenaries with the West, offering Britain and Co. to apply directly to the DPR, where the judgement rendered.
5️⃣ Britain has so far refused to connect directly to the DPR, as this undermines the policy of non-recognition of the DPR in the West.
6️⃣ During June, the mercenaries will be waiting for the results of the appeal against the verdict, counting on a mitigation of the sentence. They have 30 days to do so. There is also an option to file a clemency petition to Pushilin.
7️⃣ In case of refusal, they are threatened with execution (according to the law, in the DPR they don’t hang, but shoot).
8️⃣ Trials of Ukrainian war criminals should take place in the DPR before the end of summer. As the trial of foreign mercenaries has shown, they will not delay too long.
Some people are expecting the Monkey Pox scam to play out exactly like COVID (with lockdowns and vaccine mandates for employment and venues. This is a mistake. The enemy has adjusted their strategy. Many will be caught off guard.
Instead of the general lockdowns and mandates we saw during covid, this time they will track and trace extensively; targeting individuals and their contacts with long quarantines and ring vaccination. The psychology used will be formidable and much more difficult to resist. Many who refused to comply in round one will fold.
Ring vaccination means that anyone caught up in their contact tracing will be detained by specially trained teams, isolated and pressured / forced to take the vaccine. In some countries force will be used early on, but even in jurisdictions where one is not legally obligated to comply the pressure that these teams apply will be extreme. The long quarantines will add an additional incentive to give in. When the only way to avoid extended house arrest (and eventually quarantine camps) is to accept the jab, compliance can be achieved without general mandates (though we may see these in some jurisdictions).
This targeting and isolation of individuals is nefarious for a number of reasons. While general mandates and lockdowns tend to evoke widespread outrage, they know people won’t take to the streets en masse if they aren’t personally affected at the moment. They intend to pick you off one at a time starting with the least resistant. This is why they are focused on the gay community in the opening act. The gay community is overwhelmingly left wing. Most of this demographic will accept the vaccine without hesitation as will the majority of those in their social circles. This will allow the enemy to work out the kinks in the system before addressing the trouble makers.
Some of you might be wondering how on earth they will be able to take this clown show to such extremes. After all, Monkey Pox is very mild and only lasts a few weeks. However, the narrative is already being cultivated that there is something unusual about this particular strain. It’s “spreading” faster than previous variants, and some of the symptoms are unusual. Those of you who have been paying attention know that this is a cover for the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. There are a multitude of auto-immune skin issues showing up that look like pox, and with immune systems decimated, the vaccinated are experiencing a resurgence of latent viruses, with shingles being one of the most common symptoms. Since diagnosis comes down to a fraudulent PCR test, all of this can be attributed to Monkey Pox.
Here’s where it gets nasty. The long term side effects of the initial COVID jabs are just beginning to reveal themselves, and all cause mortality among the vaccinated is already becoming impossible to hide. What this means is that while COVID started as a bad flu and ended as a mild cold, Monkey Pox will made to look like it is evolving into something absolutely horrific. People will get sick and stay sick. Others will die suddenly. The fear this will generate (and the resulting mass psychosis) will make you miss the good old days of COVID.
The food and energy shortages that are kicking off at the same time are an important part of the equation. Not only will rationing give those in power far more more leverage, malnutrition and cold will also weaken the population physically and make them more susceptible to disease. Electricity and internet blackouts will make it much harder to organize resistance and will provide cover for the worst abuses.
For years we have warned people to get out of the cities. Now you know why. This is the final window for that move. There will be no fuel for vehicles soon (and you can only walk so far when you are starving).
This ends in war, but in war timing is everything. Let the cities burn in the distance. Let the enemy expend their ammunition and weaken their armies. Wait for the right moment.
