Activists have made a last-minute bid to stop Royal Dutch Shell from exploring for oil and gas in whale breeding grounds off the coast of South Africa. The fossil-fuel giant had planned to search for oil and gas reserves by setting off underwater explosions along a stretch of South Africa known as the Wild Coast, according to MSN. The explorations were slated to begin December 1. However, four environmental and human rights organizations filed a legal challenge Monday night to stop the blasting, Greenpeace Africa said. “Shell’s activities threaten to destroy the Wild Coast […]

After all the urgency expressed over the new Omicron variant originally identified in southern Africa and now present in more than 30 countries, including the United States, President Biden has announced his plan. The administration says it is “pulling out all the stops” but its plan is frankly underwhelming and won’t prevent Omicron’s spread. Biden’s plan is certainly science-based and unobjectionable, but it is little more than a tweak of what we’re already doing, with limited success. The first knee-jerk response was a travel ban from southern Africa. That may be politically expedient but it’s ineffective and discriminatory. Now, CDC will […]

Chris Christie sold of his latest book. Christie, who has been critical of Trump […]
By Ken Macon Rights groups in Israel have called on the country’s top court to repeal the recently announced measures to use the counter-terrorism phone tracking system to track carriers of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. The groups raised privacy concerns. On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced emergency measures including phone tracking to locate those infected by the Omicron variant, which is thought to be more contagious.

Rights groups have said that the emergency measure is a violation of the Supreme Court’s rulings […]
Authored by Bruce Wilds via Advancing Time blog, The emergence and acceptance of Modern Monetary Theory has turned our economic system upside down. Skeptics of its substance and sustainability have been brushed aside temporarily but expect the MMT experiment to collapse and end in ruin. To us that believe in old school economics, debt matters and is tied directly to interest rates and inflation. Central banks across the world claim the lack of inflation is the key force driving their QE policy and permitting it to continue, however, the moment inflation begins to take root much of their flexibility will be […]
(Natural News) Israeli journalist Avital Livny has released a new exposé called “The Testimonies Project” that highlights the damage being done to people by the mRNA gene therapy injections for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Countless Israelis have taken the so-called “vaccines” in obedience to their government, only to later develop heart disease and other serious health problems. Now, many of them are demanding answers, as well as airing their grievances about how they wish they could get their old lives back. “I want my life back, but there is no turning back,” one injured woman said in the film.

The interim government of Afghanistan, on Thursday, protested a UN Committee's decision not to allow its envoy to resume the Afghan seat at the UN, Anadolu News Agency reports. A nine-member Credentials Committee of the General Assembly on Wednesday decided to defer its decision on the applications by the Taliban-led interim government in Afghanistan and military junta of Myanmar to replace their countries' envoys. "This decision is not based on legal rules and justice because they have deprived the people of Afghanistan of their legitimate right," said Suhail Shaheen, the Afghan interim government's nominee to the UN.

Alec Baldwin claimed that he did not pull the trigger on the single action revolver at the center of the Rust shooting. It’s hard to believe and here is why: the single action mechanism requires multi-step manipulation in order to fire. The best way to explain this is by noting that there are two classes of revolvers: single action and double action. Ironically, the single action requires two actions to be performed in order to fire while a double action requires only one. For example, a double action can be fired by manually cocking the hammer then pulling the trigger to […]
ORLANDO, Fla. — The U.S. Marine Corps is focused on bringing synthetic training systems to its infantry members, acknowledging that advanced threats and operational changes under the Force Design 2030 adaptation effort necessitate a change from traditionally prized live training events. Marine generals on different panels at this year’s Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference painted the same picture of live infantry training: Marines maneuver around the desert with so-called coyotes — other Marines assigned to training groups who supervise and mentor during live exercises, wearing bright orange vests to distinguish themselves from the players in the event. The coyotes run […]

Casillo was issued no more than a desk appearance ticket for the incident and was released only hours after […]
Authored by Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times, The chief U.S. envoy to the Taliban on Wednesday expressed concern over emerging reports that the Taliban terrorist group has summarily killed or forcibly “disappeared” more than 100 former police and intelligence officers since seizing control of Kabul in August. Thomas West, who formerly served as the deputy special representative, said on Twitter that the Taliban “are aware that the U.S. is deeply concerned about reports of retaliatory killings & forced disappearances of former ANSF [Afghan National Security Forces] members.” “We have urged the Taliban to ensure their promise of amnesty is upheld throughout […]
Paris has rejected the idea of a joint British-French patrol in the Channel to fight illegal migration, with the country’s PM Jean Castex stating that keeping UK military away from its borders was a matter of “sovereignty.” The formal rejection was pronounced in a letter, sent by Castex to his UK counterpart Boris Johnson.

(Natural News) Society seems to be obsessed with covid ‘vaccines’ these days. True vaccines take a long time to come to market, so why this dedication to a dangerous new technology that has barely been tested? And how did they pull it off? To launch the covid injection scam, every single vaccine maker devised a clinical study that failed to compare outcomes of severe illness, hospitalization and death. These studies only compared vague symptoms and PCR test results during a specific period of time. These studies only compared the rate of mild symptoms between those vaccinated and those given […]

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) fired his latest salvo against the self-proclaimed embodiment of science – Dr. Fauci – when he joined Maria Bartiromo for an interview on Fox Business on Thursday morning. When asked about how the democrats are plowing ahead with their destructive agenda while Fauci skates with no accountability, Paul did not hold back, saying Fauci “should be” thrown in prison “for 5 years” – simply for lying under oath during his congressional testimony. He does admit however that the possibility of Fauci actually being punished is almost nonexistent because Biden swamp-creature Merrick Garland, who would rather chase down […]

The FDA’s excruciatingly slow release of data related to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has already borne fruit, and it’s damning despite a trickle of just 500 pages per month out of 329,000 pages – which will take until 2076 to complete. As first reported by Kyle Becker, there were a total of 42,086 case reports for adverse reactions (25,379 medically confirmed, 16,707 non-medically confirmed), spanning 158,893 total events. More than 25,000 of the events were classified as “Nervous system disorders.” Another table of the 1st batch of 55 on Pfizer’s adverse events data: No wonder they don’t want all the data released!

While all branches of the US military insist only a tiny percentage of explosives are lost or stolen from their stocks, an AP investigation suggests the disappearance of grenades, C4, and even rockets, often gets overlooked.

According to a report published on Thursday, the US Army came back with a list of 1,900 incidents, “about half” of which it said were recovered, and said it has maintained “proper accountability of 99.999984% of munitions.” An @AP investigation has found that a […]
(Natural News) Selecting people to lead based on their skills and abilities rather than skin color or sexual persuasion is “malignant,” according to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which accredits all medical schools in North America.

On a cold morning in February 2013, I led a group of American policymakers and criminal justice practitioners — judges, public defenders, legislators, corrections officials, law professors — on a visit to a juvenile prison in eastern Germany. We met with a group of young men, largely between the ages 18 and 21, who were serving between two to five years at the facility; most had been convicted of a violent offense. Although these young men certainly looked like teenagers or very young adults — dressed in jeans, cargo pants, colorful T-shirts, sweatshirts, and baseball caps — they would certainly not be considered […]

Things are so bad that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is now openly entertaining rules changes and singling out Rubio (R-Fla.), with whom he once worked on immigration reform. Schumer’s deputy, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, said Democrats should entertain rules changes not just to the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold but the humdrum rules that empower individual senators to threaten a government shutdown or debt default if Congress gets too close to a critical deadline. “You know the vulnerability of the Senate. It only takes one … Schumer’s earning his paycheck this week,” Durbin said. He said he sometimes tells more junior senators, […]

In the worst days of what President Joe Biden called last year’s “dark winter,” the United States faced more than 4,000 daily deaths from COVID-19.

This year, Biden declared on Thursday afternoon, must be different. “The actions I’m announcing are ones that all Americans can rally behind,” Biden said during remarks at the National Institutes of Health, detailing a plan intended to prevent another catastrophic winter surge of the coronavirus, even in the face of a disturbing new […]

Continue reading below Our Featured Videos “The house is located in a wooded area in Carrillo de Guanacaste, and from the beginning it was considered to conserve the largest number of existing trees on the property,” said the architects. “This was a starting point to the integration of the house with its immediate context and concepts such as permeability, integration and the exterior-interior relationship became fundamental in the […]
By Julie Beal Over the years, we’ve all been trained to believe that a bioweapon is a deadly pathogen, engineered to spread like wildfire and wipe out millions. We’ve been fed endless stories about dangerous viruses causing dreadful diseases; there’s been a stream of news about outbreaks of various kinds, warnings about terrorists creating something on a computer, and a movie industry peddling the idea of contagion. These narratives have helped sustain the ronascam by fuelling the fear of covidians, but they’ve made anti-covidians dismiss the bioweapon theory because there’s been no evidence of a deadly pandemic. The logic seems to […]
By Mohamed Younis of Gallup, As the peak of holiday shopping approaches and winter temperatures drive up heating costs across the U.S., 45% of American households report that recent price increases are causing their family some degree of financial hardship. Ten percent describe it as severe hardship affecting their standard of living, while another 35% say the hardship is moderate. Lower-Income, Less Educated Americans Most Affected Lower-income households are most likely to have experienced financial hardship due to price increases. Seventy-one percent of those living in households making less than $40,000 a year say that recent price hikes have caused their […]
(Natural News) Again, if anyone still believes that Republicans and, specifically, former President Donald Trump, are the ‘authoritarians,’ they are either being intentionally dishonest or simply not paying attention because Democrats continue to demonstrate it is they who have a taste for tyranny. The latest example of this comes from none other than the director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, who told the Washington Post last week that Americans who criticize his NIH colleague Dr. Anthony Fauci ought to face federal prosecution. One of the paper’s blogs quoted Collins as demanding that anyone who spreads […]

It’s hard to watch the current saber-rattling between U.S. and Russian officials without cursing, loudly and inappropriately, at the increasingly stern warnings and feverish talk of war. Weeks of escalating tensions and brazen fuckery by Russia resulted in U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaging in a polite staredown in Stockholm on Thursday with his counterpart Sergei Lavrov. It was the first high-level meeting between the two sides since Moscow began to amass up to 90,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, setting off alarm bells in the West about a possible invasion that only got louder as Russia deliberately stoked fears […]
Evan Agostini/Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Evan Agostini/Evan Agostini/Invision/AP In his first interview since a fatal shooting on the set of the film Rust, actor Alec Baldwin told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he didn’t pull the trigger of the gun that killed a cinematographer. Halyna Hutchins died after being helicoptered to a hospital, and a film director was injured after the gun went off on Oct. 21 on the set in New Mexico. In a clip released by ABC on Wednesday, Baldwin breaks down in tears as he recalls how much Hutchins was loved and admired by people who worked with her. The full […]
Bitcoin needs to chart a 77% rally in the next four weeks to reach the widely forecast year-end value of $100,000. While analysts are bullish on the cryptocurrency, they don’t foresee a rally to six figures in the short term. “The latest Commitment of Traders report shows net-long positioning on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, with an increased commitment by asset managers,” said Laurent Kssis, a crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) expert and director of CEC Capital. The report was released on Friday. “Having said that, it won’t be enough to commit to the $100,000 rally this month as everyone is/was predicting.” Kssis […]

Although there have been significant international and regional efforts to push for an end to the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia between the government and the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), clashes between the warring sides continue to escalate. The fighting which has been going on for more than a year has claimed thousands of lives and displaced almost 2.5 million people. At least "9 million people are in dire need of food assistance due to the ongoing conflict in northern Ethiopia" according to the World Food Program. Observers fear that, if the situation is not put under control, Africa's second-most-populous country […]
According to a law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a group of more than 100 migrants was encountered entering a remote area between Del Rio and Eagle Pass, Texas. The area is patrolled by Border Patrol agents from the Brackettville Station. They have not seen groups this large in recent times. The group, according to the source, was transported to multiple Border Patrol stations within the region for processing. The remoteness of the area in question is cause for concern, according to the source, as there are no nearby medical facilities if needed. The group crossed on […]

Astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin’s McDonald Observatory have discovered an unusually massive black hole at the heart of one of the Milky Way’s dwarf satellite galaxies, called Leo I. Almost as massive as the black hole in our own galaxy, the finding could redefine our understanding of how all galaxies—the building blocks of the universe—evolve. The work is published in a recent issue of The Astrophysical Journal. The team decided to study Leo I because of its peculiarity. Unlike most dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, Leo I does not contain much dark matter. Researchers measured Leo I’s dark matter profile—that is, […]
One of the most disturbing developments on Wall Street in recent years is how the “green cult” has managed to infiltrate the culture, forcing firms to drum up ESG-branded offerings or risk losing clients to better-prepared rivals. But like any other fad, the shift to ESG, and the pressure investors are putting on “dirty” oil and gas companies (not to mention coal) has had side effects that are more serious, and others that are more or less benign. In the “serious blowback” camp is the fact that the backlash against traditional energy companies and the new orientation in Washington has helped […]
Health officials in Minnesota have announced the second case of the Covid-19 variant Omicron in the US. The infected person’s only recent travel was to an anime event in New York.

When comedian Kathy Griffin returned to The View for the first time in more than three years on Thursday, she had a lot to talk about. There was the lung cancer surgery that has temporarily altered her voice to sound like Minnie Mouse—her words—and the suicide attempt that stemmed from her ongoing legal troubles surrounding her anti-Trump rhetoric on social media. And of course, there was the continued fallout from the photo Griffin posed for with a fake severed Trump head. At one point during her appearance Thursday morning, guest co-host Ana Navarro asked Griffin what it was like to see […]

A common story we are told is that money arises from the insufficiency of barter. Known as the “double coincidence of wants” problem, it is said barter was too limiting and a more flexible medium of exchange was needed. According to anthropologist David Graeber in his book, “Debt: The First 5000 Years,” this story is not true. To summarize his findings in ancient societies, what was found as “money” was delayed barter. For example, I don’t need item A now but I may need it in the future. I will give you item B and ask for A when I need […]
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday blamed the organized “smash-and-grab” robberies sweeping Democrat-run cities on Covid. Organized gangs in San Francisco and Los Angeles have targeted luxury retailers such as Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Nordstrom, jewelry stores and Home Depot.

An Israeli court yesterday handed a 20-month prison sentence to an Israeli settler who throw stun grenades at Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank at the beginning of the year. Israeli judge Hagai Tarsi also ordered the man, whose name has not been made public, to pay 60,000 shekels ($18,950) to the Palestinian families he attacked in the village of Sarta, resulting in grenade fragments which injured a 61-year-old Palestinian's forehead. Moreover, two women, one of them pregnant, were evacuated for medical attention, reported Haaretz. Tarsi described the attack, which was caught on security cameras, as being carried out due to […]
Inflation is inflicting financial pain on millions of U.S. households, with lower-income households the hardest hit, a Gallup survey released Thursday showed. The survey found that 45 percent of American households report that recent price increases are causing their family some degree of financial hardship. Prices have risen at the fastest pace in decades just as Americans are headed to shops and online to make Christmas season purchases. High home heating fuel prices are also hurting household finances as the nights turn colder in much of the U.S. Ten percent of households say they are suffering “severe” hardship from inflation. Another 35 […]
By Paul Joseph Watson Two large supermarket chains in the UK have refused to make their staff police mandatory face mask rules, with one boss asserting that the issue is too “divisive.” New face mask rules were imposed in England from today, meaning people who use public transport, enter shops and innumerable other venues have to wear a compulsory face covering. England dropped mandatory face mask rules back in July, but they remained in place in neighboring countries like Scotland, where official data shows infection rates remained the same or higher. According to Oxford Professor Jim Naismith, re-imposing face mask rules is “unlikely […]
After teasing various aspects of his plan to protect Americans from the omciron variant (which is arriving at the start of the latest ‘winter wave’) while the CDC quietly collects names of travelers who recently visited southern Africa, President Joe Biden is preparing to share his plan, which will impose tighter restrictions on foreign travelers while extending a mask mandate and (potentially) double down on vaccine restrictions for American workers (even as multiple federal judges have rejected the mandate). Biden’s comments are expected later on Thursday, but during the early hours of the US session, Germany’s outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel and […]
(Natural News) A court order allowing an outside medical doctor to use ivermectin over a hospital’s strenuous objections saved the life of an elderly Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) patient. While the Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois insisted on administering remdesivir to the patient, the lawyer of the patient’s family was able to get a court order for the use of ivermectin. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of ivermectin tablets to treat humans with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms.

By Michael Snyder Things are starting to get really weird. What I am about to share with you sounds very strange, but it is all true. Before I get into it, let me ask you a question. If you could have a vaccine passport permanently embedded into your hand, would you do it? Amazingly, some people in Sweden are willingly doing this to themselves. They are putting microchips that contain their vaccine passport information into their hands, and they are raving about how convenient this is. You can actually watch a video of this being done to someone right here. The […]
