CIA-backed spies shot former Ukrainian MP – BBC
Link: https://www.rt.com/russia/586011-ukraine-tsarev-assassination-attempt/
Kiev’s SBU has told multiple outlets that it had targeted Oleg Tsarev in Crimea | The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) was behind the assassination attempt on Oleg Tsarev, the BBC and several Ukrainian outlets reported on Friday, citing a source from the agency. [...] Ukrainian outlets Babel, Ukrinform, and Ukrainska Pravda have also reported that the SBU was behind the attack on Tsarev, likewise quoting an anonymous agency official. Tsarev was attacked on Thursday night at the sanatorium he runs in Yalta, Crimea. He was reportedly shot two times and had lost a lot of blood before being taken to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The Russian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the attack on Tsarev but have yet to attribute blame. ● The 53-year-old former Ukrainian lawmaker had retired from politics and settled in the Russian peninsula several years ago. He had served as a deputy from the now-banned Party of Regions in Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada from 2002 to 2014. Following the US-backed Maidan coup in Kiev, Tsarev endorsed the rebellion in Donetsk and Lugansk and eventually became the speaker of the parliament of ‘Novorossiya’ – as the two Donbass republics dubbed their union at the time. [...] Valentin Nalivaichenko, the former head of the SBU, admitted to the existence of a secret assassination unit last month in an interview with The Economist. The Washington Post published a lengthy feature last week about CIA support for the SBU, admitting that the US invested “tens of millions” of dollars in the Ukrainian intelligence agency and its military counterpart, the GUR, but insisted it had nothing to do with the “dozens of assassinations” that Kiev’s spies have undertaken.

A massive wave of airstrikes was carried out ahead of a ground incursion | Israeli ground forces will “expand” their activity in Gaza on Friday night, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has told reporters. Warplanes are currently subjecting the enclave to some of the heaviest bombardment to date ahead of the ground operation. [...] Israeli soldiers have conducted several limited raids into the strip over the last two days but no major offensive has been announced. Hagari’s statement is the clearest sign since the beginning of the conflict on October 7 that an invasion – which the IDF has been preparing to launch for almost three weeks – is imminent. ● In a statement on Friday morning, the IDF said that its tanks and infantry had moved into central Gaza the previous day and destroyed “dozens of terrorist targets, including positions for launching anti-tank missiles and operational headquarters,” as well as Hamas fighters. Israeli forces withdrew after the raid with no casualties, the IDF added.

CIA ‘Outsourcing Assassinations’ to other nations’ intelligence agencies
The CIA uses other nations’ intelligence agencies to handle its dirty work, which is often useful in the short term, but just as often has significant blowback, experts told Sputnik.

SATANIC: Israeli TikToker mocks Gazan mothers who have lost their children
Following previous examples of mockery targeting besieged Palestinians for their lack of access to basic necessities like food, clean water, and electricity, there are now reports of some Israelis making derogatory comments about Palestinian mothers who have lost their children during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. | An Israeli SFX makeup artist, Eve Cohen, created a TikTok video that has gained significant attention on social media. In the video, she attempts to suggest that Palestinian mothers aren't genuinely losing their children due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. ● In this video, Cohen, dressed as a Palestinian mother, uses ketchup and baby powder for inexpensive SFX makeup to simulate fake blood and debris, which she applies to her face. In one scene, she feigns being a Palestinian martyr by smearing ketchup on her forehead. ● In another, she portrays an injured Palestinian mother holding a make-believe baby with a fruit for a head. Throughout the video, Cohen adds a director's command, shouting "Cut!" in the background, and the clip concludes with the sound of applause as she discards the fruit and smiles.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says civilian casualties are inevitable | White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday that Israel will continue to hurt “innocent civilians” in its onslaught on Gaza.
“This is war. It is combat. It is bloody, ugly and it’s going to be messy and innocent civilians are going to be hurt going forward,” Kirby said when asked if the US thought Israel’s bombardment was a disproportionate response to the Hamas attack on southern Israel. “I wish I could tell you something different and wish that there wasn’t going to happen, but it is going to happen. And that doesn’t make it right, doesn’t make it dismissible,” Kirby added.
He also reiterated the US’s opposition to a ceasefire in Gaza, claiming it would only benefit Hamas.

I will introduce a resolution [in] the United States Senate to allow military action by the United States in conjunction with Israel to knock Iran out of the Oil Business..."

The current system has “run out of steam,” the president told supporters in a campaign speech | The current US-led world order has “sort of run out of steam,” but Washington will shape the system that replaces it, US President Joe Biden told supporters on Friday. Leaders in Moscow and Beijing, however, have argued otherwise. Speaking at a campaign reception in Washington, Biden bragged about how he convinced Japan and South Korea to send financial aid to Ukraine, and how he signed a rail and ports deal with the EU, India, and Saudi Arabia at the G20 summit in New Delhi last month. “So, I think we have an opportunity to do things, if we’re bold enough and have enough confidence in ourselves, to unite the world in ways that it never has been,” Biden declared. “We were in a post-war period for 50 years where it worked pretty damn well, but that's sort of run out of steam. Sort of run out of steam. We need a new, new world order in a sense,” he continued.

Indeed, the world is in need of a new order, [but one] based on entirely different principles [than what the US promotes]," he said. ● The Kremlin believes that any future world order must be free of any attempts to concentrate all control mechanisms in the hands of a single country and of all attempts by a single power to impose its will and its decisions on other countries. ● "There should be a world order based on international law, not on 'rules.' It should be based on mutual respect, mutual benefit, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and so on," Peskov enumerated.

Birth Rates Plunge in Heavily Vaccinated Countries
Link: https://colleenhuber.substack.com/p/birth-rates-plunge-in-heavily-vaccinated
In many countries, births drop sharply nine months after peak COVID vaccine uptake. Let’s look at how this happens. And will these populations recover? | Since the beginning of COVID, vital statistics as reported by governments around the world are hard to come by. Spotty availability hinders analysis and understanding. For example, even today in the United States, Massachusetts and New York, Illinois and Washington are four of the states that, at this writing, have not updated births data since 2019 [1] and 2020. ● Nineteen European Countries - By August 2022, Raimond Hagemann, Ulf Lorré and Dr. Hans-Joachim Kremer had compiled data on birth rate changes in 19 European countries and produced an extremely important paper. [5] In country after country, the inflection point of reduced births is consistently at the end of the year 2021. This was nine months after the spring zeitgeist to take the COVID vaccines. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia, as well as Iceland, Northern Ireland, Montenegro, Serbia, all show this pattern. Nine months after peak vaccine uptake, the births decline. ● The corresponding graph for each of the 19 countries has a similar pattern: peak uptake of COVID vaccines in spring of 2021, followed by precipitous birthrate declines beginning nine months later.
