Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, Fox News host Tucker Carlson issued a stark warning Tuesday, emphasising that “we’re seeing now what happens when countries tolerate authoritarians, even for a moment” as people worldwide are being told to submit to increasingly draconian “rules” in the wake of the pandemic. Carlson noted: “Has there ever been a clearer window into the society they’re trying to build? Our formerly middle-class nation now has a serf class. They’re the ones wearing the masks, being forced to take drugs they don’t want, being told not to communicate with one another, except through digital channels […]

A federal judge on Wednesday granted the motion of sanctions filed by the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit against the so-called “Kraken” attorneys over their conspiracy-tinged litigation hoping to overturn the 2020 presidential election, ordering that they face “possible suspension or disbarment” and be referred for a professional conduct probe. U.S. District Judge Linda Parker did not hold back in chastising the lawyers—including infamous pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood—for “undermining the People’s faith in our democracy.” “This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” Parker wrote in a lengthy 110-page ruling. […]

The Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Wednesday it has begun withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan, where they have been stationed since 2002 under authorization from the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). “Turkish Armed Forces are returning to our homeland with the pride of successfully fulfilling the task entrusted to them,” the Defense Ministry said. Among other tasks, the Turkish military was in charge of security at Kabul’s international airport. The Kabul airport remains a chaotic and deadly disaster area, with terrified Afghans walking through sewage to evade whip-wielding Taliban patrols and evacuation flights leaving mostly empty […]
Japan’s Kyodo News reported on Wednesday that the nation’s health ministry is suspending the use of around 1.63 million doses of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine. After eight vaccine distribution centers across Japan reported contamination of the Moderna jabs due to “foreign materials,” the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare made the call to halt the shots. Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. is in charge of overseeing sales and distribution of the Moderna vaccine in the country. Moderna allegedly promised to conduct an investigation into the issue after a request from Takeda. In the meantime, Takeda is asking medical institutions and others that may […]

They do so not because they are psychopaths but because they are rational: they assess that those deaths that will inevitably result from the policies they support are worth it in exchange for the benefits those policies provide.

(Natural News) Shadowy international forces seek to use Facebook as a means to establish official narratives and control what people can read across the social media network. After spending years adjusting algorithms to remove “fake news” and “misinformation,” Facebook’s upper echelon of fact checkers, information controllers, and narrative pushers have admittedly overplayed their hand in the war to control information. In a strange twist of fate, Facebook just announced that the The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) manufactured a “faulty narrative” without “any evidence” targeting twelve individuals who were repeatedly defamed and stereotyped as the “disinformation dozen.” This […]

A Senate aid revealed Wednesday 4,100 Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan, many “not in or around Kabul,” CNN reported. About 4,400 Americans have been extracted in President Joe Biden’s deadly evacuation, “but the remaining 4,100 will be more challenging, the source said,” before the Taliban-enforced deadline in five days. The State Department has denied 4,100 is the exact number stranded.

While Beijing has been “encouraging” private companies to aggressively cut debt in the past year – and nowhere more so than at China’s largest real-estate developer, Evergrande, whose bonds have cratered in recent weeks amid fears the forced deleveraging will push the company and its $300 billion in debt into a death spiral – China’s local governments have more than doubled bond sales to roll over maturing debt this year, helping to ease their repayment risk. As Bloomberg reported back in July, cities and provinces sold about 1.9 trillion yuan ($293 billion) of so-called refinancing bonds in the first six months […]

By Jeff Stein While all eyes were on Tucker Carlson’s televised swoon for Hungary’s anti-democratic, pro-Russian strongman Viktor Orban earlier this month, another prominent Donald Trump acolyte was elsewhere in Eastern Europe celebrating yet another would-be dictator who’s fallen into Moscow’s orbit, Serbia’s Aleksandar Vučić. Richard Grenell, Trump’s erstwhile ambassador to Germany, and, for a brief time, acting director of National Intelligence, has long taken the Serbian president’s side in his resistance to a peace plan that would have him recognize Kosovo’s sovereignty.

In the nearly two weeks since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, it has endeavored to convince the world that it plans to be a functional national government – yet the jihadists have offered no indication they plan to address the largest public health crisis facing the world today, the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has held two press conferences since the takeover of Kabul on August 15, opening the floor to questions from international journalists. Questions arose on both occasions regarding what a Taliban regime would look like, who the jihadists would appoint to run various ministries, and […]

The initial Biden plan for the complete US troop draw down from Afghanistan was to authorize a security force of some 600 Marines to guard the massive US embassy compound in Kabul. This was announced last Spring – of course long before the chaotic botched evacuation events of this month, which has seen all diplomats and military retreat to the confines of Hamid Karzai international airport. Plans have drastically changed as on Wednesday during a Pentagon press briefing a military spokesman confirmed that the embassy will be completely abandoned.

However, she mentioned “they have to make their own case as to why they went” since making a trip such as the one they did is “deadly serious.” The Hill noted that Pelosi learned of the trip before it […]

As part of the deal, Maddow’s long-running 9 p.m. nightly broadcast […]

In less than 48 hours, Jerome Powell will have held his extremely anticipated Jackson Hole speech, scheduled for 10am Eastern, and while pundits can’t stop talking about what the Fed chair may or may not say about the impending taper (as a reminder, even if Powell announces a taper, it won’t really matter as the Fed will still be buying bonds for most of 2022 and more to the point, it is the Treasury that will be draining as much as $800 billion in liquidity in the coming months as part of its post debt-ceiling quantitative tightening as explained yesterday).

Former Congressman Ron Paul has highlighted this week that a handful of mainstream media articles have actually begun to break ranks in terms of questioning key aspects of vaccine effectiveness and mandates, particularly when it comes to the controversial boosters now being widely proposed. “Even mainstream media is now asking big questions about the vaccines” Wednesday’s Liberty Report featured.

The operators of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant have announced plans to build an undersea tunnel to facilitate the release of more than one million tons of treated water from the site into the surrounding ocean. The 1km-long and eight-feet-wide tunnel will run east from the water container tanks at the nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, allowing roughly 1.27 million tons of treated water to be released into the sea, despite opposition from neighboring countries. Japan insists that the water, which is set to be released in two years, is completely safe, having been thoroughly treated to remove radioactive particles. […]
(Natural News) According to published reports, it appears as though the Biden regime has done the unthinkable: supplied weapons to the new Taliban government in Afghanistan by default, if not on purpose outright. Reuters reported last week that even though President Biden announced in April that the U.S. would be withdrawing, the U.S. continued to supply Afghan National Army forces though it was clear to many within the intelligence community that they would not stand and fight the Taliban — that they would run away, thus leaving all of that weaponry to the the same militant group American and […]

In a series of tweets, UK-based content subscription service OnlyFans reversed its announcement less than one week after it prohibited users from posting sexually explicit content starting in October due to mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers. The company said, “We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change.” This means the site has likely made agreements with banks to pay OnlyFans’ content creators, including those who post sexually explicit videos. “OnlyFans stands for inclusion, and we will continue to provide a home for all creators,” the company said.

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has accused his successor Volodymyr Zelensky of being behind an attack that saw him doused with green antiseptic liquid at a celebration of the country’s independence on Tuesday. According to the police, which posted a photo of the suspect online, Poroshenko was targeted at the Defenders’ March, marking the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, by a man from the country’s Chernigov Region. He was attacked with a substance known as ‘zelyonka’ – an antiseptic dye most famously used in 2017 against Moscow protest leader Alexey Navalny. READ MORE: ‘Stop the war’ on WW2 veterans!

(Natural News) Taliban propaganda channels are now openly mocking the West with ISIS-style videos depicting them showing off stolen American military items. According to Fox News, propaganda videos were posted this week on channels that are linked to the Taliban showing soldiers in a fighting unit known as the Badri 313 Battalion carrying weapons and gear made by Americans and their allies that appear to have been stolen from allied militaries while their forces were patrolling Kabul. The special commando unit is named after the battle of Badr, which the Koran says involved the Prophet Mohammed successfully defeating an […]

Over the last week, a dozen jurors have been told over and over again that R.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday received a special classified report into the origins of the coronavirus, however the public will have to wait until a carefully vetted version is made generally available. The Washington Post reports the investigation centered on whether the deadly pathogen jumped from an animal to a human as part of a natural process, or escaped from a lab in central China, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. In May, Biden told U.S. intelligence agencies to “redouble” their efforts in investigating the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, including the possibility it emerged from a lab […]

I have heard several pundits comparing the current debacle in Kabul to the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, when the remaining American diplomatic and military personnel fled Vietnam in the face of North Vietnam conquering South Vietnam. Others cite Benghazi, when U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered and a secret CIA base was besieged by Islamic militants on September 2012. But I think a more apt comparison is the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. Dien Bien Phu was the decisive victory of the North Vietnamese over the French Army in May 1954 and marked the end of French colonialism […]
