Conservative ministers have vowed to oppose a proposed law that would give MI5 operatives, police, and other agencies carte blanche to commit crimes in order to stop more serious crimes, arguing it would encourage abuses of power. The Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) bill expressly greenlights not merely MI5 but 10 other agencies – including HM Revenue and Customs, the Food Standards Agency, police, and the Gambling Commission – would be permitted to engage in criminal conduct, as long as they’re committing the lesser evil in service of preventing a greater one. The bill was read in Parliament for the second […]
The flare-up of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh entered its second week on Monday, with dozens of civilians and an unspecified number of servicemen ranging from dozens to hundreds or even thousands killed. Both sides have blamed each other for starting the fighting. Until the mid-1980s, the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), an ethnic Armenian-majority region part of the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic of the USSR, lived in relative peace, with the estimated 145,600 Armenians and 42,900 Azeris constituting 76.4 percent and 22.4 percent of the population, respectively, and other nationalities, including Russians, Kurds, Greeks and Assyrians making up the rest. Throughout the Soviet […]

The 15-member Council for the Economy has never had a female appointee since it was formed in 2014.

Pope Francis has given roles to six women in the usually male-dominated Council for the Economy, in a historic move to improve gender balance at the Vatican. The Council for the Economy, which is made up of eight cardinals and seven laymen, was established by Pope Francis […]
US President Donald Trump has long promoted the use of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the ongoing coronavirus. Testing the drug for use in treating COVID-19 has, however, been blocked by international health bodies which have noted the compound’s adverse effects on patients. An official in the US government pandemic response team on Sunday affirmed that there is zero evidence that hydroxychloroquine is a workable treatment for the COVID-19 coronavirus, despite President Donald Trump’s lauding of the anti-malaria drug as a solution. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” a Trump administration testing figure, Brett Giroir, said he is […]

Editor’s note: I wanted to add something here, perhaps to give this a bit more substance. Ian sent me the paper used to support Icke yesterday. I have the science and research background where most other don’t. A racket that came up a few years ago is based on, not totally fake scientific journals, but defunct ones that are puffed back to life. Names like The Journal of Gastroenterology or The Canadian Journal of Dermatology and Radiation Studies, names I just made up (sorry), have been bought up. They are used for suckering mostly failed researchers into paying to publish the […]
What to do about Lake Placid? For weeks, Dave and Nancy Nathan had been debating whether to proceed with a long-planned family trip to a lodge there next month, marking his 80th birthday. “It looked dreamy, mountains and lakes,” said Nancy, 74. Besides, they hadn’t gathered their clan — three daughters and their families, a dozen people in all — for a year. She thought she and Dave could manage the drive from their home in Bethesda, Md., to upstate New York. He wasn’t so sure. Both retirees, they’d been cautious through the pandemic, mindful that while neither had health conditions […]
