(Kremlin) As the Russian president’s year-end presser helped underscore, Europe will increasingly understand itself as the western end of Eurasia rather than the eastern shore of the Atlantic. Vladimir Putin was “defiant” during his end-of-year press conference last Thursday. The Russian president, who has held these impressive question-and-answer events for the past 20 years, was “bellicose.” He was “threatening.” So we read in the all-the-same-always American press. Here’s a gem from one Mary Ilyushina, a CBS News correspondent in Moscow: Putin is worried about the […]

China concluded its busy 2021 launch manifest Wednesday with the successful launch of a Chang Zheng 3B, which lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 16:43 UTC. Wednesday’s launch, which carried the Tongxin Jishu Shiyan Weixing 9 (TJSW-9) satellite into geostationary transfer orbit, marked China’s 55th and final orbital launch of the year – the most that China has accomplished in a single year and more than any other country during 2021. The exact purpose of the TJSW series of satellites has not been made public, but they are referred to as “communication technology test satellites” for radio, TV, […]

President Trump Releases List of Joe Biden’s “Record of Complete and Total Failure” One year in, Joe Biden is a failed president who has surrendered to the virus and broken his number one promise to the American people: to end the pandemic once-and-for-all. A RECORD OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE : Joe Biden was handed every tool he could have asked for by President Trump—3 vaccines, 5+ lifesaving therapeutics, vast quantities of medical and personal protective equipment, a full array of testing options for COVID (at-home tests, rapid tests, and PCR tests, none of which existed before) as well as a […]

(Natural News) A coalition of public and private organizations “committed to empowering individuals with access to verifiable clinical information” has announced plans to digitalize people’s vaccination records – meaning implantable microchips are soon on the way. The coalition calls itself the Vaccination Credential Initiative, or VCI.

According to reports, Mitre predominantly works for and with powerful government agencies such as the United States military, NATO, the Federal […]

The BBC, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), social media giants Facebook and TikTok, have been ranked inside the top ten, alongside Iran and Hamas. The inclusion of Germany is also likely to be met with raised eyebrows, given that the list is meant to name and shame groups that pose an existential threat to Jews.

NEW YORK (AP) — The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. The verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at Epstein’s palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico. Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Maxwell guilty of five of six counts. She faces the likelihood of years in prison — an outcome long sought by […]
After hearing from around 30 witnesses including the four accusers, the 12-person panel began deliberating in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 20. “Maxwell was Jeffrey Epstein’s right hand,” Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe said in her closing statement. Today, after six days of deliberations over accusations that Maxwell helped pedophile Jeffrey Epstein mount a “pyramid scheme of abuse” involving underage girls, the jury came to their decision ahead of what was to be a working weekend through the new years’ break. The jury found her guilty on 5 of the 6 counts of luring and grooming underage […]
Authored by Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday took aim at the criticism he says he has received for his views on COVID-19 vaccines. During his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers said that his previous comments on the issue has led to strong pushback from both a number of NFL voices and Silicon Valley. “If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore; it’s propaganda and that’s the truth,” he said. “If science can’t be questioned it’s not science anymore it’s propaganda & that’s the truth” ~@AaronRodgers12#PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/8PHGdTgYmc — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) December 28, 2021 Rodgers, […]
A close relative of a senior White House official revealed to be a lobbyist for a coronavirus vaccine developer Jeff Ricchetti, brother of White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, has registered to lobby for a company behind a Covid-19 vaccine that is approved only in Taiwan, a new report has revealed.

Ricchetti filed to lobby for the company earlier this month. His job will be focused on “issues related to Covid-19 vaccines accepted for foreign travelers to the […]
(Natural News) Last year when a Texas cattleman died in New Mexico after testing “positive” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), the corporate-controlled media in conjunction with the federal government went on a propaganda blitz against ivermectin, falsely blaming the drug for the man’s death. New Mexico Human Services Secretary Dr. David Scrase, for instance, announced the case as his state’s first ivermectin “overdose.” Not long after, a second death caused by covid would also get blamed in ivermectin, which the government-media complex would eventually use to come up with the term “ivermectin toxicity.” Both of these deaths, it turns […]

Authored by Nouriel Roubini via Project Syndicate, Although major economies and markets fared well in 2021 despite all of the uncertainties surrounding new variants of the coronavirus, 2022 will bring new challenges. In addition to central banks shifting toward policy normalization, geopolitical and systemic risks are multiplying. Despite dips and disruptions from new variants of COVID-19, 2021 turned out to be a relatively positive year for economies and markets in most parts of the world. Growth rose above its potential after the severe recession of 2020, and financial markets recovered robustly. This was especially the case in the United States, where […]
(Natural News) If ever there was a good reason to bust up Facebook into little, tiny pieces like ‘Ma Bell’, the one-time telephone monopoly, it’s this: Mark Zuckerberg’s social media creation has become so big, so rich and so powerful, it allowed him to literally buy the 2020 election for Joe Biden and his band of left-wing sycophants. That’s not hyperbole; that is according to documents filed by the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Those documents show that the nonprofit org spent $332 million in “grants and other assistance to domestic organizations […]

Last week, US intelligence agencies shared information revealing that Saudi Arabia is developing a ballistic missile with the support of China. Shortly afterwards, the fact that Iran launched an exercise called "The Great Prophet 17", in which it also used ballistic missiles, put the Gulf back on the international front burner. The fact that both countries are getting assistance from China in developing a ballistic missile program poses a serious problem for the recent US policy of encircling China. The world is curious about the attitude of the US, which has reacted sharply to the fact that its allies in the […]

ENIWA, Japan — The dozens of Type 90, or “Kyumaru,” tanks rumbling through recent shooting drills on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido exemplify the challenge its arms makers face both at home and overseas as the country fortifies its defenses against strategic threats.

Big Japanese defense manufacturers like Mitsubishi, IHI Corp. and Kawasaki Heavy […]

By Tyler Durden Hardly a day goes by without some truck drivers thinking their days are numbered as AI, machine learning, and robotics could soon take their jobs. In an industry that moves over 70% of U.S. freight by weight and labor and fuel costs are becoming more expensive, transportation companies are itching to swap human drivers for robot ones. The latest example that automated semi-trucks could be available for commercial use in the next few years was the recent test by San Diego-based TuSimple. According to a TuSimple press release, the company tested a class 8 vehicle (otherwise known as a trailer […]

(Natural News) Everything you thought you knew about the infamous “Spanish Flu” outbreak of 1918 is probably wrong. It turns out that one of the most well-known pandemics from recent history was actually caused by the “vaccines” that were supposedly introduced to stop it – much like how the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” of today are spreading more covid. Dr. Sal Martingano, FICPA, explains that mass vaccination during the Spanish Flu is what actually caused people to die. In fact, the only people who ended up dying during the ordeal were those who got jabbed. In her book Vaccination […]

This week, CNN’s Chris Cillizza posted a photo of the “post-Christmas gift” he bought himself: a box of the increasingly hard-to-obtain BinaxNOW rapid COVID tests that are helping people feel safe visiting family during the holiday Omicron surge.

But while much of the hate came from the anti-lockdown crowd, the most impassioned response came from Meghan McCain, the former co-host of The View, who began 2021 by complaining about having to wait her turn to get the COVID-19 vaccine. McCain first accused Cillizza of “hoarding” tests and when he […]

By Jason Kelley It’s been a tough year for students – but a good one for resistance. As schools have shuffled students from in-person education to at-home learning and testing, then back again, the lines between “school” and “home” have been blurred.
