Last night, Ukrainian forces carried out a massive drone attack on the city of Kursk, deliberately targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure. According to local authorities, at least one person, an elderly woman, was killed and nine others were wounded, with six requiring hospitalization. Over 20 apartment buildings were struck and suffered damage. Fires broke out in several locations, and one of the drones reportedly crashed into a garage containing emergency medical vehicles. The acting governor of the Kursk region condemned the attack as an “unprecedented act of cruelty by the retreating Ukrainian neo-Nazis”.

President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has said that he’s “disgusted” by a Democrat senator’s plan to travel to El Salvador to try and return and deport MS-13 gang members to the United States. Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has headed to El Salvador, Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadoran national who was deported after he entered the U.S. illegally. He was deported because the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) determined that Abrego Garcia is a member of the bloodthirsty MS-13 street gang.

Xenophilia is more than curiosity or respectful admiration for the foreign. It is a psychological disease afflicting terminal civilizations. It serves as the inverted mirror of xenophobia and is a hatred of the Self masked as compassion. It appears in the Western world through an obsession with the exotic, a frantic drive to deconstruct traditions, symbols, and structures in service of false universalism. Under the guise of tolerance, xenophilia demands the erasure of borders — geographic, cultural, and metaphysical. This is the spiritual AIDS of exhausted peoples who have abandoned the will to survive and seek redemption through dissolution into the global magma.

Following a Democrat Maryland senator’s trip to El Salvador to defend a deported illegal alien MS-13 gang member, the White House invited surprise special guest Patty Morin, the mom of deceased 37-year-old Rachel Morin – who was brutally raped and murdered on a Maryland hiking trail – to address the press. “Where are the Democrats applauding the fact that southern border crossings just hit a historic low?” asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, criticizing Dems for continuing to ignore illegal immigration.

President Donald J. Trump announced significant changes to the Federal procurement policy to enhance competition, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The existing Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) will be revamped through a comprehensive review by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. “This RFO will reduce more than 40 years of bureaucratic buildup that will unleash our procurement system with generational change and results. We are Making America Great Again,” said OMB Senior Advisor Kevin Rhodes. President Donald J. Trump has unveiled an initiative to reform the Federal procurement system, significantly altering the rules surrounding government purchasing.

The G20 consists of 19 countries, as well as the African Union and European Union, together making up 80% of the global economy and two-thirds of the population. South Africa will hold the presidency of the G20 until November 2025, when it will be handed over to the U.S., at the next summit, in Johannesburg. The decision to boycott the G20 in South Africa was first announced in February, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would not be attending any meetings and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had commitments in Washington that would prevent him from attending a meeting of finance ministers.Secretary Rubio said he would not “coddle anti-Americanism.”

It was supposed to be a routine campaign pit stop, the kind of low-stakes political affair where candidates smile like used car salesmen and dish out platitudes thicker than Ontario maple syrup. Instead, Mark Carney found himself dodging verbal bricks in a Hamilton hall, facing hecklers who lobbed Jeffrey Epstein references like Molotovs. No rebuttal, no denial. Just a pivot worthy of an Olympic gymnast, straight to the perils of digital discourse. "There are many serious issues that we’re dealing with,” he said, ignoring the criticism that had just lobbed his way. “One of them is the sea of misogyny, antisemitism, hatred, and conspiracy theories — this sort of pollution online that washes over our virtual borders from the United States.”

Thomas Piketty Professor at EHESS and the Paris School of Economics. The American president wants the 'Pax Americana' to be sustained by tribute payments from the rest of the world in order to endlessly fund US deficits. But with American power already in decline, we must begin to imagine a world without it, the economist writes in his column. The United States is no longer a reliable country. For some, this is nothing new. The Iraq War, launched in 2003 – resulting in over 100,000 deaths, lasting regional destabilization, and the return of Russian influence – had already shown the world the wrondoings of American military hubris. But the current crisis is new because it challenges the very core of the country's economic, financial, and political power. The US appears disoriented, led by an unstable and erratic leader with no democratic counterweight.

As most of the world has been focused on President Trump’s economic policies and tariffs this past week, he continued to forge ahead to fulfill his campaign promise to restore the Zionist lobby in the U.S. as the “most powerful lobby in the U.S. by far.” Here is a recording of Trump’s campaign promise in 2024 to restore the Zionist lobby for Israel as the “most powerful lobby in the U.S. by far.” Notice how he distinguishes between Zionist Jews and non-Zionist Jews, by calling the later “Palestinians” in a racial slur, similar to how Black Americans used to be referred by the “N” word, suggesting that they are inferior human beings.

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in a Cabinet meeting on Thursday that the government has launched a “massive testing and research effort” to determine what causes autism. He said the effort involves hundreds of scientists globally and will be completed by September. Once the environmental causes of autism are identified, “We’ll be able to eliminate those exposures,” he said. At the meeting, President Donald Trump responded, “There will be no bigger news conference than that.” He added, “If you can come up with that answer where you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.”

Recent studies link fluoride in drinking water to significant increases in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD in children. A Florida study of 73,000+ children found a 526% higher ASD rate in areas with fluoridated water, alongside rises in intellectual disabilities (102%) and developmental delays (24%). The surge in autism diagnoses (now 1 in 36 U.S. children) coincides with decades of water fluoridation, while countries like Germany and France—with minimal fluoridation—report lower ASD rates (1 in 139). Fluoride’s use as an industrial byproduct (e.g., hydrofluorosilicic acid) raises safety concerns.

The past trading week (April 7-11) in the financial markets was marked by sky-high volatility (that is, huge amplitudes of fluctuations in quotations), not seen since covid, and in some parameters (for example, in the range of intraday fluctuations of the main American stock index S&P 500) – even since 2008. Traders closely followed the news from the “trading front” and many times changed their mood between panic and euphoria. Market movements have been further enhanced by algorithmic trading, the role of which has increased greatly in recent years, in particular through the application of artificial intelligence.

Shockwaves have been sent rippling through the scientific community after a study found that around 30 years have been wiped from the average life expectancy of people who received at least two doses of Covid mRNA “vaccines.” The alarming study found that the mRNA injections reduce a person’s lifespan by a whopping 37%. In the United States, the average life expectancy in 2019 was 78.79 years. A 37% reduction from 78.79 equals a loss of just over 29.15 years. The average life expectancy in the Western world, generally encompassing Europe, North America, and parts of Asia and Australia, is around 80-83 years.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that extends a package of anti-Russian sanctions introduced by his predecessor Joe Biden for a year, according to the US Federal Register. On April 15, 2021, the Biden administration introduced executive order 14024, imposing sanctions on Russian individuals and entities that may have allegedly been engaged in cyber-enabled activities against the country, efforts to undermine the conduct of elections in the United States and other countries, attempts to harm or kill American citizens, as well as financial and other sanctions-busting operations. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in March that Russia considered all restrictions imposed on it as illegitimate and expected them to be lifted.

To each his own—An old video of the President of the European Commission has resurfaced in the alternative media, in which she stated that “The values of Europe are the values of the Talmud”. The phrase immediately caused a scandal and the video was circulated everywhere. It is an old video, dating back to when she received an honorary PhD at Ben Gurion University. The confusion is more than legitimate. The words were clear: Talmud. Not Judaism, not Judeo-Christian roots as conservative politicians have often claimed, but the Talmud. A clear and unequivocal word, pronounced in a prepared speech.

Two men with alleged ties to a foreign terrorist organization have been arrested and charged in the brutal torture and attempted murder of an abducted woman in Washington state, according to reports. The horrifying series of events unfolded in King County on Jan. 21, but new details about the case just came to light after a second suspect was arrested last week. At around 10 p.m. that night, the victim was returning home from work to her apartment in Burien when she was kidnapped by armed men who forced her into a vehicle while discharging a firearm.
