For Ukraine: Not Just F-16's, but the Weapons for them too!
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that F-16s could be carriers of nuclear weapons, and Moscow would take this into account in its combat operations. | "It’s not only the airplanes, but also the training of the pilots, training of the maintenance and also making sure we have the weapon systems to go with it," US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Charles Brown said. "That is the dialogue that we are having to not only just get to the airplanes but get to a full capability," he said. Kyiv [also] mentioned in early April that five groups of Ukrainian pilots were being trained in flying US F-16 fighter jets in the UK, Denmark, the US, and France. At the end of August 2023, the Netherlands said it would transfer 42 F-16s to Ukraine, while Copenhagen promised Kyiv 19 such machines.

Link: https://english.alahednews.com.lb/76092/393
Brown University reached an agreement on Tuesday with students protesting the “Israeli” aggression on Gaza that would see them remove their encampment from school grounds in exchange for the institution considering divesting from “Israel”. | The move represents the first major concession from an elite American university amid the continuous student protests that have paralyzed campuses across the country. ● In a statement, Brown president Christina Paxson said students had agreed to end their protests and clear their camp by 5 p.m. local time Tuesday and “refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year.” ● In turn, “five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in May to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from ‘companies enabling and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.'” The board will vote on the proposal in October.

It continued to outline the resulting consequences.

According to Axios, US lawmakers from both parties are threatening the ICC with retaliatory action if it carries out its duties against Israeli officials. | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked United States President Joe Biden to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from issuing arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials responsible for war crimes in the Gaza Strip, Axios said citing two Israeli officials. ● Reportedly, the names of Netanyahu, Security Minister Yoav Gallant, and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi have been circled as suspects of war crimes that the ICC will look to prosecute.

The Jewish Killbox: Israel planning ring of checkpoints to prevent men from fleeing Rafah
Israel is setting up 'complex network' of checkpoints to prevent 'military age' men from fleeing Rafah assault, senior western official tells MEE | Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity. ● The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. ● The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. ● The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war. The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images “deeply disturbing”.

US Constructing Gaza Pier [to take Palestinians out of Palestine]
Link: https://news.antiwar.com/2024/04/29/us-to-spend-320-million-constructing-gaza-pier/
President Biden pretends to want to get more aid into the Strip. | President Biden ordered the military to construct the pier "for aid deliveries" [They're building a pier to carry out the genocide, let's face it.] instead of pressuring Israel to open more land border crossings, which is by far the most efficient way to get more aid into the Strip. Israel will impose a strict inspection regime on aid shipments coming through the pier, requiring inspections before they’re shipped from Cyprus and again when the aid reaches the shore of Gaza. ● According to a report from The Jerusalem Post, the idea to build the pier came from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who proposed it to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides in October. A reporter for Israel’s Kan news said last month that during a meeting of the Knessett’s Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, Netanyahu suggested using the pier to remove Palestinians from Gaza. [It'll probably be Cyprus first, and then into the rest of Europe later.] ■ Temporary aid pier off Gaza to be operational in May: Pentagon (aNews)

UN Plotting ‘Planetary Emergency’ to Seize Control of Sovereign Nations
Link: https://newsaddicts.com/un-plotting-planetary-emergency-seize-control-sovereign-nations/
Hunter Fielding | The unelected United Nations (UN) is planning to declare a “planetary emergency” that would allow globalists to seize control of sovereign countries. | The UN is scheduled to meet in September for the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the highly-anticipated “Summit of the Future” where nations will sign the so-called “Pact for the Future.” The Pact is expected to call for declaring a “planetary emergency.” ■ What do this agreement and its policies mean for the future of individual and national sovereignty? By the end of September, the United Nations member states may vote to radically alter the UN itself, what some are calling UN 2.0, and the very nature of how nation-states make decisions regarding the future of the planet. The organization is expected to push to establish itself as an unelected single-world government with authority over individual governments.
Your Tax Dollars at Work: The Us and the Uk Are Pushing for Total War on All Fronts
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/596728-west-world-war-3/
Timur Fomenko | The Iran-Israel clash has served as a catalyst for renewed escalation by Western leaders, and World War III cannot be ruled out | The events of recent weeks have produced a sudden jolt in Western politics. From a lethargy that was starting to creep into US and western discourse over the Ukraine war, Iran’s attack on Israel suddenly seemed to have had the effect of awakening Ronald Reagan from his grave and leading to a surge of neo-conservativism on steroids, on both sides of the Atlantic. ■ US House Speaker Mike Johnson did a complete 180-degree U-turn and proclaimed himself a “Reagan Republican” passing a series of aid bills for astronomical overseas spending that he had otherwise blocked for months, as he denounced an “axis of evil.” Along with that, a proposed TikTok ban bill came out of nowhere too, and was quickly signed into law. ■ Then the UK decided to devote its largest ever aid package to Ukraine, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warning of an “axis of authoritarian states” and amplifying ideologically combative rhetoric. At the same time, it was then revealed Biden had sent 300km long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine despite having pledged not to do so for years, fearing escalation. Finally, EU President Ursula von der Leyen has suddenly dramatically increased economic warfare on China, pushing the European Commission to open probes on scores of Chinese exports. Where exactly did all this come from?

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has vehemently slammed the heavy-handed crackdown against pro-Palestine student protests in Western universities, especially in the United States, saying it has laid bare the true nature of Western civilization. | The Iranian president described violent suppression of anti-Zionist student protests, and the beating and arrest of professors and students in Western universities, especially in the US, as “another scandal for self-proclaimed advocates of freedom of expression.”
💬 “Today, thanks to the blessed blood of the oppressed martyrs of Gaza, the true nature of Western civilization has been revealed to the people of the world more than any time before,” the Iranian president said. Raisi added, “It has become evident that those who claim to be advocating freedom of expression do not think about anything other than maintaining their own domination.”
Students and staff of Tehran University have held a rally in support of growing protests on US university campuses where students have erected encampments to demand action to end “Israel’s” aggression on Gaza. ● Elsewhere in his remarks, Iran's president said the current uprising of Western students, professors, and elites in support of the oppressed people of Gaza is a major development with vast ramifications.

Banks Spied on Trump Voters for Biden Admin ‘Without Warrants’
Link: https://slaynews.com/news/banks-spied-trump-voters-biden-admin-without-warrants/
Several major American banks have been caught spying on supporters of President Donald Trump, without warrants, on behalf of the Democrats and President Joe Biden’s administration. | At least 13 financial institutions are being investigated by Republicans in Congress for colluding with the federal government. The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government found that the banks were motoring the private transactions on Americans to look for “extremism” indicators. The spying effort cited the January 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol as “justification” for the operation. However, according to the findings, the spying effort targeted Trump supporters in general and not just those who were involved in the protests. Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is investigating “collusion” between U.S. banks and federal agencies in the aftermath of the Capitol riot. ● The Biden admin worked with banks to comb through “extremism” indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms “MAGA” and “TRUMP,” according to shocking revelations by the committee. Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank, and Truist were already being targeted in the probe looking to expose how the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the FBI worked together.
US Encircling China With Military Bases to Cut Off Ocean Access in Conflict Scenario
Washington's rhetoric about respecting the One-China principle that negates Taiwanese independence is frequently undermined by anti-China sentiments voiced by the US political establishment, multi-billion dollar aid packages for Taiwan and military efforts destabilizing security in the region. | The US is building military bases near China to squeeze its naval capabilities out of the Pacific if a regional conflict were to break out, the New York Times (NYT) has reported, citing anonymous Chinese military strategists.
💬 “The US efforts are aimed at keeping China’s naval forces behind the ‘first island chain’ — islands close to mainland Asia that run from Okinawa in Japan to Taiwan to the Philippines,” the reports read.
UNRWA Chief: Number of child lives lost in Gaza is staggering
Link: https://tass.com/world/1781577
In a special interview with TASS, Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) provided insight into his visit to Russia, highlighted what support Moscow has provided to the agency, and addressed the motivations behind some countries' attempts to dismantle UNRWA and undermine the interests of Palestinians.
QUESTION: The UN has repeatedly drawn attention to the unprecedented scale of human suffering in the Gaza Strip. And according to the most recent statistics released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the death toll in Gaza has unfortunately surpassed 34,000 people in casualties. However, certain countries remain skeptical of those numbers. How much trust do you have in these statistics?
ANSWER: 💬 It's very difficult in a war situation to have precise figures. But I do believe that the amount being published gives a reasonably good idea of the scale of the number of people who have been killed in Gaza. And this is horrible. It's unprecedented when you think that in six months more than 30,000 people have been killed. We know that among them there are 13,000 children. We know that there were more children killed in Gaza in six months than in all the conflicts across the world in the last four years. So it's unprecedented in scale, as well as the level of destruction.

WEF Demands End of ‘Democratic Elections’: ‘We Will Decide’
Link: https://newsaddicts.com/wef-demands-end-democratic-elections-we-will-decide/
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has demanded that global governments ban members of the public from taking part in “democratic elections,” declaring that future leaders must, instead, be “chosen” by the unelected globalist elite. | According to WEF founder and chairman, Professor Klaus Schwab, the general public cannot be trusted to choose leadership. Schwab argues that elections are now unnecessary because bureaucrats can now use artificial intelligence (AI) to “predict” who leaders “should be.” ● This is all moving towards globalization and a One World Government, for which a drastically reduced world population is of the order. This remains the WEF’s number ONE objective, as per The Great Reset and UN Agenda 2030. Klaus Schwab’s dream of The Fourth Industrial Revolution, AI, and digitization of everything are just instruments to get there faster. ● Another tool was covid and the bio-weapons “vaccines”, and perhaps the WEF Davos24 propagated new virus “X” – not yet existing, but roaming somewhere out there (Gates, Tedros WHO) and, ludicrously, “vaxxes” are already being developed – and a foremost instrument for this globalist genocide is the tremendous climate hoax.
