Has China just checkmated the US by banning rare earth exports?

China's ban is a response to the West's not-so-well thought out strategy of economically decoupling from the People's Republic, Asia-Pacific consultant Thomas W. Pauken told Sputnik.

Why didn't team Biden see this coming?

Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests.
(Article from 2006)

Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them.

Ukraine has become the self-styled stem cell capital of the world.

There is a trade in stem cells from aborted foetuses, amid unproven claims they can help fight many diseases. But now there are claims that stem cells are also being harvested from live babies.

In a report report investigating the disappearance of newborn babies, the Council describes a general culture of trafficking of children snatched at birth, and a wall of silence from hospital staff upwards over their fate.”

Absolutely horrific!
😱😡😡

My bad. Should have known better to trust the government

At the time, it was used to hold a publicly-accessible discussion on jury selection matters in Maxwell’s case. However, the line was deactivated Nov. 1, and a Monday update on the same webpage states that there will not be “any telephonic dial-in” to the trial proceedings.

Геолог, профессор Ян Плимер - о фейковости глобального потепления: Мы можем заглянуть в прошлое и увидеть, что у нас было шесть великих ледниковых периодов. Во время этого ледникового периода лед расширяется – это оледенение, или сжимается – это межледниковье. В наш последний межледниковый период уровень моря был примерно на 7 метров выше, температура была примерно на 5 градусов теплее. Поэтому, если кто-то говорит, что сегодня самый жаркий день в истории, нужно спросить: с каких пор? Если мы обратимся к пику межледниковья, которое было около 4000 лет назад, то температура была примерно на 5 градусов теплее. Если мы перенесемся во времена Иисуса, когда было тепло, то сейчас примерно на 4 градуса холоднее, чем тогда. Если мы обратимся к темным векам, к эпохе викингов, то с тех пор климат действительно потеплел. Если перейти к средневековому потеплению, то с тех пор климат охладел. А если перейти к малому ледниковому периоду, то с тех пор климат снова потеплел. Так с какого времени считать? И я знаю, что это вас удивит, но мы только что вышли из малого ледникового периода. Как вы думаете, что будет делать температура? Падать или расти? Она растет. Эти шесть великих ледниковых периодов начались, когда в атмосфере было больше углекислого газа, чем сейчас. Сейчас в атмосфере 0,4% этого газа, и мы слышим такие слова, как выбросы. Для меня это ничего не значит, потому что содержание углекислого газа в атмосфере изменилось более чем на 20% до сегодняшнего дня, что очень мало для геологического времени. Если бы мы уменьшили его содержание вдвое, вся растительная жизнь погибла бы. И животные бы погибли.

Geologist Ian #Plimer on The #GlobalWarming #Hoax:

"We have had six great ice ages, the ice either expands (#Glaciation), or shrinks (#Interglacial).

During our last interglacial period, sea levels were about 7 meters higher, temperatures were about 5 degrees warmer.

If someone says that today is the hottest day in history, one must ask: "Since when?"

At the peak of the interglacial, about 4000 years ago, the temperature was about 5 degrees warmer.

In Jesus' time it was about 4 degrees warmer.

If we look at the Dark Ages, the Viking Age, the climate has warmed up since then.

If we turn to medieval warming, since then the climate has cooled.

If we move on to the Little Ice Age, then since then the climate has warmed again. So when do you count?

And I know it will surprise you, but we just got out of the Little Ice Age. What do you think the temperature will do?

Fall or rise? (Rise)

These six great ice ages began when there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there is now."

ABSORBING THE PUNCH: Russia's Attritional Warfare plan to grind down Ukrainian's Offensive

On this day in 1972, Palestinian revolutionary icon, prolific writer, thinker, and fighter Ghassan Kanafani was assassinated by the Israeli Mossad in Beirut, Lebanon.

Kanafani's niece Lamees Najim was with him when the bomb planted in his car was detonated, and both of them were killed.

Kanafani was the spokesman for the Popular Front For The Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), founded by George Habash in the early 60's.

He became known as the "commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ballpoint pen."

Ghassan Kanafani was 12 years old when he was forced into exile with his family during the 1948 Nakba, and he grew up to not only tell the story of Palestinians, but pioneer a legacy of revolutionary thought geared towards liberation.

Artificial intelligence created a fake cover commissioned by the German Der Spiegel, which is titled: "The End of Truth."

The article itself in the magazine is dedicated to the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish truth from lies.

“Dad is dancing, Greta Thunberg is flying, Donald Trump is in jail, and Angela Merkel is going to the beach? Artificial intelligence creates new realities. What happens if we can no longer distinguish them from the real world? Artificial intelligence has the potential to re-engineer the political rules of the game for democratic elections around the world at both large and small stages. The American philosopher Amitai Etzioni was rather pessimistic about the future. “Artificial intelligence will destroy the truth,” he said in the last interview before his death. “I am not afraid of the tool itself, but of how people use it,” writes the German magazine.

The battle of the Finnish mercenary with the Ukrainian fence

First, the fearless soldier rushed to the fence in hand-to-hand combat and tried to pick it up, but failed and decided to blow up his opponent with the American M67 grenade, but it also turned out to be powerless.

As a result, the Finn shot at the fence in the end from impotence and left. Congratulations to the fence on the victory.
