The gruesome atrocities, posted on social media by groups like the Nazi Azov Regiment and the Georgian Militia, are a direct result of the UK and US pushing for more militarism in Ukraine, endorsing hostility towards Russians and extending the conflict by pouring the arms into the hands of these very groups. The long standing US/UK/NATO project of destabilising the region with the purpose of bringing down the Russian state has actually […]

A social-media video showing students dancing back-to-back with their partners spurred an avalanche of stunned responses on Twitter amid public weariness over absurd social-distancing rules in the era of Covid-19. The video showed formally dressed students locking arms with their partners from behind as they danced with their backs facing each other in waltz-like steps. While it is unclear where and when the clip was recorded, some alleged it was filmed during a classical dancing class, possibly in the Czech Republic as a joke to mock new Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Czech government under new Health Minister Roman Prymula. I can’t make […]
The retired professional wrestler-turned Hollywood superstar has repeatedly flirted with the idea entering politics himself, and has weighed in on political issues from time to time, but has never publicly endorsed a candidate before. Self-described “political independent and centrist” Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, dubbing the 2020 race “arguably the most critical election our country has seen in decades.” “Look, I’ve got friends in all parties, but the one thing we can always agree on is the conversation and the dialogue, and where that conversation lands, is always the […]
Costco has halted sales of Palmetto Cheese, a popular brand of pimento cheese spread that had been offered in over 120 of its stores, after the company’s owner triggered outrage with a Facebook post criticizing Black Lives Matter. A sign posted at a store in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, indicates that Palmetto Cheese has been discontinued and will not be ordered again by Costco. The retailer hasn’t made a statement on its decision, but the move came after consumers called for a boycott of the brand because of social media comments by Palmetto Cheese’s owner, Brian Henry. “This BLM and Antifa […]
US diplomacy is turning into the not-so-subtle art of making demands and ultimatums, Sergey Lavrov has lamented, as the Americans go it alone in restoring anti-Iran sanctions under a 2015 deal that no longer legally applies. Washington’s reasoning behind bringing back the UN sanctions against Iran looks “funny,” as the majority of UN Security Council members – 13 out of 15 – do not support activating the ‘snapback’ mechanism, the Russian Foreign Minister said, in an exclusive interview with the Al Arabiya news channel. The council “clearly stated that there is no legal position or moral reasons for anything close to […]
The UK’s media watchdog Ofcom was flooded with hundreds of complaints from angry TV viewers after a Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement-inspired dance routine was performed on Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) over the weekend. Ofcom has received some 2,966 complaints over the episode of the show aired on Saturday night, the watchdog said. Almost all of the complaints have been related to the BLM-inspired routine, performed by dance troupe Diversity. “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, before deciding whether or not to investigate,” an Ofcom spokesperson said Tuesday. The watchdog did not elaborate on the specific details of […]
AG William Barr’s praise for the police takedown of Michael Reinoehl, the self-avowed ‘Antifa’ who shot dead a Patriot Prayer member in Portland, has left the social media fuming. But his sister told the media she saw it coming. Reinoehl “attempted to escape arrest and produced a firearm” before he was killed by law enforcement, Attorney General Barr revealed in a statement released on Friday, confirming initial reports of what happened Thursday night when a fugitive task force swept in to arrest him in Lacey, Washington. The self-professed Antifa member, suspected of killing Patriot Prayer “friend and supporter” Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson […]
US President Donald Trump has proposed that voters in North Carolina cast their ballots twice to test the state’s mail-in voting system, prompting criticism that he promoted the same “fraud” his detractors insist was impossible. “Well, they’ll go out and they’ll vote, and they’re going to have to go check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way, because if it tabulates, then they won’t be able to do that,” the president told reporters during a visit to North Carolina on Wednesday when asked about his confidence in mail-in voting. Let them send it in and let them […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): When Pakistan was debt-trapped in 2018, Saudi Arabia was the first one to extend help to Islamabad with a $6.2 billion package, which included $3 billion in loans and oil supply on deferred payments worth $3.2 billion. Nevertheless, some of the issues, including Kashmir, have strained the once strong relations. The bilateral ties between Riyadh and Islamabad have received a fresh blow after Pakistan foreign affairs minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi slammed Saudi Arabia for not organising a meeting to discuss Kashmir at the 57-members strong Council of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Following Qureshi’s threat of calling a […]

Pennsylvania authorities have launched a probe after a video, showing an officer kneeling on a man’s neck in Allentown, went viral, further fueling the outrage and nationwide protests against police brutality. Captured outside St. Luke’s Hospital-Sacred Heart hospital and widely shared by Black Lives Matter activists and even George Floyd family attorney, Ben Crump, the disturbing clip shows two officers restraining a screaming black man, while another cop briefly puts his knee on the suspect’s neck. The incident, not fatal but painfully reminiscent of the shocking death of George Floyd in a botched arrest attempt, triggered calls for the immediate termination and […]
A man has deliberately crashed his car into the Chinese Embassy in Buenos Aires, reportedly claiming to have a bomb on board in a bizarre bid to obtain political asylum. The man, identified by police as Gaston Sanda, 24, drove his vehicle into the front gate of the embassy late on Monday night, damaging both the car and the entrance to the facility, according to local media. The aftermath of the crash, which left nobody injured, appeared in photos circulated online. 🇨🇳💥🚗 | Un hombre intentó derribar el portón de la Embajada de China en Buenos Aires con su auto.

China locks down TEN more Beijing neighborhoods over new Covid-19 outbreak at wholesale market …from Russia Today, Moscow [ Editor’s Note: China will now “show its stuff” to the rest of the world and set the benchmark on how to deal with new outbreaks of Covid with quick lockdowns to prevent the clusters from growing. By just the second day it had tested over 40,000 citizens, that included all f the market employees. Expect to see contact tracing to be just as quick was will be the testing of those people. Could a US major city move this fast? Hardly, especially […]
At least one rocket was fired into the heavily fortified Green Zone compound in the Iraqi capital, with a loud blast reported in the area. The attack reportedly resulted in no casualties and only minor damage. A Katyusha rocket landed within the Green Zone in the early hours of Thursday morning, setting off sirens at the US Embassy, Reuters reported, citing a witness. Nobody was killed in the blast, according to Iraq’s Security Media Cell, which added that the rocket is believed to have been fired from a nearby sports stadium. A local reporter shared footage of the aftermath of the […]
A White House adviser has triggered a wave of memes and mockery online after referring to US labor force as “human capital stock,” drawing countless comparisons to the dystopian sci-fi flick Soylent Green (spoiler: it’s people). In calling to reopen the US economy amid the ongoing Covid-19 crisis in an interview with CNN on Monday, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett noted that the country’s “capital stock” was still intact, adding that “our human capital stock is ready to get back to work.” Though the comment was meant to express a simple idea, Hassett’s jargonistic wording conjured up much darker imagery […]
Today I received this lovely turd of disinfo from a helpful troll called Sheldon via email: by Dane Wigington, October 5th, 2016 The photo images shown below were captured from NASA satellite sources and they are truly alarming. These images provide shocking and undeniable proof of the ongoing global climate engineering/geoengineering/solar radiation management assault on our planet and its life support systems. Highly toxic heavy metals and chemicals (that are systematically sprayed into our atmosphere from jet aircraft as part of the geoengineering/SRM programs) are manipulated with extremely powerful radio frequency signals. These signals are transmitted from countless locations around the […]
Comment This is one of those that should fall under the title of unlikely things to awaken Brits’ patriotic spirit: a gaggle of anti-5G protestors in the UK’s capital. Yes, the people who gathered in London, against expert medical advice, this past weekend, are idiots. You don’t have to remind us of that. They earnestly believe the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t a real thing. Those people hooked up to ventilators don’t have a disease but are merely suffering the effects of radiation poisoning. We don’t need a lockdown, they insist, but rather to tear down the handful of 5G towers that have […]
