Several federal law enforcement agencies and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department became the subject of a federal lawsuit after they were caught pulling over vehicles from an armored car company and robbing them of their cash. The stops were completely baseless as no crime had been committed and the cash inside the armored cars was from legal businesses. “Civil forfeiture enabled law enforcement to seize over a million dollars in legal business proceeds; creates an incentive for cops to steal money from innocent people This legalized robbery is extremely lucrative as most o do not have the means to hire an attorney to get back their stolen property

Former US President George W. Bush made an embarrassing gaffe, perhaps a Freudian slip, when speaking on the importance of democracy and threats to democracy from abroad, and taking aim specifically at Russia. “Russian elections are rigged,” he said. “Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process. The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”Then Bush brushed the mistake aside and said, “Iraq, too,” insinuating that Russia was somehow involved in Iraq

Do we need to trust science, as always, and urgently inject ourselves with a recently developed “monkeypox vaccine”, that is definitely safe and effective? Should we forget Covid vaccination lies and abuses, endless illness among the boosted, etc, , perhaps, this is just noise and the media trying to distract us from something? It is not easy for humans to get infected with monkeypox. It is an animal disease, present among African rodents and other animals, usually requires close human-animal contact to establish transmission. Usually confined to rural Africa where people contact wild animals or butcher bushmeat.

A top aide to Vladimir Putin predicted a “global famine” that will occur before the end of the year as a result of worldwide grain shortages caused by war in Ukraine. Italian League party leader Matteo Salvini warned if war in Ukraine is not brought to a conclusion by the end of this month, chronic food shortages will cause an immigration wave that will lead to 20 million African migrants trying to enter Europe.. Significant hunger is expected on the African continent, which will be a humanitarian, then a social, and finally an Italian problem,“Without peace there will be famine in the autumn and 20 million Africans will be ready to go,” ” said Salvini . Russia and Ukraine grow a third of the world’s wheat exports, sanctions on Russia and war in Ukraine led to a 60 per cent price surge
Twitter introduced a new global policy to address spread of misinformation during crisis situations.“Today, we’re introducing our crisis misinformation policy – a global policy that will guide our efforts to elevate credible, authoritative information, and will help to ensure viral misinformation isn’t amplified or recommended by us during crises,” The new approach will help to slow the spread of the most visible, misleading content, particularly that which could lead to severe harms, The social media company explained it may add warning notices to posts, including those that contain: false reporting that mischaracterizes conditions on the ground of a conflict; false allegations regarding use of force or incursions on territorial sovereignty; false allegations of war crimes or mass atrocities against specific populations; and false information regarding international community response, sanctions, defensive actions, or humanitarian operations. Strong commentary, efforts to debunk or fact check and personal anecdotes or first person accounts will not fall within the new policy’s scope,.Tweets that violate the policy will be placed behind a warning notice that informs the reader that the material could be false or misleading, Twitter added.Adding warning notices to highly visible tweets, such as those state-affiliated media or official government accounts, will be a company priority, according to Twitter.

President Joe Biden is resisting demands from Kiev to supply long-range rocket launchers to the Ukrainian military, White House is "holding back over worries the weapon could be used to launch strikes inside Russia, expanding and prolonging the conflict." Ukrainian officials requested increasingly advanced weaponry from Washington in recent months – even before Moscow’ invasion this year – urging the US government send M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), among other hardware. The M270 MLRS has a range of between 20 and 100 miles, putting them far beyond the range of the American M-777 Howitzers supplied to Ukraine in recent weeks.The M270 is a self-propelled platform specifically designed to evade Russian artillery strikes, capable of rapidly firing up to 12 rockets before moving to a new position. Washington sent billions of dollars in weapons to Ukraine after Russian invasion began: attack helicopters, artillery, tank-killing Javelin missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft platforms. New aid package currently moving through the Senate will bring total US assistance since March to $54 billion.
Proponents of “green” energy boondoggles are often masters at playing with the numbers, because that is the only way that wind and solar electricity generation make any sense. Advocates such as Kerry love to focus on the low operating costs of solar and wind since they don’t require constant purchases of fuel. Ignoring the relatively short lifespan of solar and wind components, as well as the high initial investment, can make it appear as though solar and wind operate at lower costs than fossil fuels or nuclear power. .The reason subsidies are so high is solar and wind have additional costs compared to their more reliable competition. “Green” energy sources are non-dispatchable, meaning their output can’t be changed to match demand. The wind doesn’t blow harder, and the sun doesn’t shine brighter, just because electricity use is peaking .Widespread adoption of solar and wind generation would necessitate expensive batteries on a large scale to ensure people still have power when the wind stops blowing or when the sun stops shining—like it does every night.
Because apparently the unprecedented $40 billion the Senate just approved for Ukraine aid wasn’t enough, the Biden White House has announced $100 million more in military assistance to the Ukrainian government Thursday afternoon; few in the administration are pausing to think about America’s own defense interests as of paramount concern.

The ruble's gains result from a series of measures taken by the government to defend the battered currency in the aftermath of Western sanctions. On top of imposing capital controls, Russia has forced exporters to sell foreign-exchange and is demanding its natural gas be paid for in rubles. Russia became the most sanctioned country in the world 10 days into their special operation and additional sanctions have been piling up ever since.

Failure of EU member states to agree on a Russian oil embargo indicates the bloc is reaching the limits of its ability to impose financial sanctions on Moscow, an EU diplomat told Euractiv this week foreign ministers meeting on Monday. “The 7th package of sanctions against Moscow will be extremely difficult … We are very close to reaching our limits. Countries highly dependent on Russian oil, including Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, have repeatedly expressed their objections to a ban. The Hungarian government says an embargo would deal a crippling blow to the economy. Experts say an immediate ban on oil and gas from the continent’s major supplier is impossible. Europeans are already struggling with spiking inflation and soaring energy and food prices.

Biden administration is reportedly maneuvering to send more advanced anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to help the former Soviet republic break a Russian naval blockade of its Black Sea ports. The missiles are the Harpoon, made by Boeing, and the Naval Strike Missile (NSM), made by Kongsberg and Raytheon Technologies, The Harpoon can destroy targets 300 kilometers away, it’s typically used as a ship-to-ship missile, and there are few platforms for launching it from shore The Harpoon cruises in a low, sea-skimming trajectory and has active radar guidance..Countries have avoided being the first nation or the only nation providing such weaponry to Kiev, “fearing Russian reprisals if a ship is sunk with a Harpoon from their stockpile.”

The European Union said companies can keep buying gas without breaching sanctions, as it softened its stance in a standoff with Moscow over energy supplies. EU sanctions “do not prevent economic operators from opening a bank account in a designated bank for payments due under contracts for the supply of natural gas in a gaseous state, in the currency specified in those contracts,” the commission said.. But it stops short of addressing the requirement by Moscow to open a second account in rubles
