Soooo RFK Jr. is encouraging the MMR vaccine, known to cause autism, in response to the measles “outbreak.”
His exact words:
“In response to this outbreak, I have directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to work closely with the Texas health authorities to provide comprehensive support. HHS’ efforts include offering technical assistance, laboratory support, vaccines, and therapeutic medications as needed.”
“All parents should consult with their healthcare providers to understand their options to get the MMR vaccine. The decision to vaccinate is a personal one. Vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons.”

US MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE HALTED.
As an update to the above, all deliveries of American military equipment to Kiev that are not currently on Ukrainian territory will be suspended, including weapons in transit on planes and ships, as well as those waiting in transit zones on Polish territory. (Bloomberg).
“…until the country’s leadears demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace…”
Recent events have shown that Zelensky doesn’t want peace and neither do his handlers. The majority of Ukrainians DO want an end to this war and there is already a move among some politicians to have Zelensky impeached. This will put great pressure on Zelensky and the European leaders who are supporting him. (mb)

UK SIGNED A DEAL ON JAN 17 WITH UKRAINE
Alex Krainer offers his thoughts on what's going on with the US/Ukraine right now:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tO7bhSRGhoI
This was shared with us on FB after we shared this:
THE UKRAINE/US EXPLANATION THAT WENT VIRAL
Trump shared this below comment himself, so presumably, that gives the explanation credence.
Have a read if you haven't already and give us your thoughts.
MICHAEL McCUNE'S THOUGHTS (have also attached original post for you to go to):
Many of you probably watched what took place between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy tonight. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you might be thinking to yourself, Oh my God, Donald Trump just screwed up.
However, as a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, strategy, and philosophy, let me explain the difference between what you believe you witnessed and what actually happened.
Donald Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and calculated.
Tonight, Zelenskyy was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelenskyy was going to do—he would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play. Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.
When Zelenskyy began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelenskyy is trying to gain access to NATO.
Trump knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the U.S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement—an attack on one is an attack on all.
Now consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish between them would obligate the U.S. to enter into direct conflict with Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.
So what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.
This is why Trump dismantled Zelenskyy’s argument. And when Zelenskyy, seeing his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.
Zelenskyy’s real intent was clear—he would not agree to peace unless security guarantees were in place. But what was he actually saying? That NATO must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them.
Zelenskyy, Putin, and Trump all knew this. Zelenskyy, thinking he had Democratic support, believed he could make this bold move on live television. But Trump and Vance saw right through it and outmaneuvered him.
They knew that, in the short term, Democrats and the media would try to use this moment against them. But they also knew they had two years before midterms to prove their strategy was the right one. So they held their ground—brilliantly so.
Now, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump's terms. But here’s the genius part—Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U.S. into war.
By negotiating a mineral deal, Trump ensures that Americans will be involved in Ukraine’s mining industry. This prevents Russia from launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering American lives—something that would force the U.S. to respond.
Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U.S. companies have mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.
Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone.

ROTORUA LAKES COUNCIL WANTS A PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO FLUORIDE
From Fluoride Free NZ, read full article here.
Rotorua Lakes Council (RFC) have sent a letter to the Minister of Health, Mr Simeon Brown, asking for a withdrawal of the directive sent to them in November 2022 from the Director General of Health ordering them to fluoridate their water supply.
The Council has outlined all the reasons why they disagree with the Directive, pointing out that there is conflicting evidence pertaining to both the efficacy and the safety of fluoridation.
They have also requested that a public inquiry be held so that this information can be discussed in the public domain.
It is long past the time when councillors, and New Zealanders in general, can rely unquestionably on the Ministry of Health on this issue. Two weeks ago the Ministry of Health sent two representatives to the RLC to try to convince the councillors that fluoridation was safe and effective. However, their presentations were an embarrassment to the Ministry. They either are completely ignorant of the research, or don’t understand it, or are saying whatever they think they need to so that the fluoridation programme can continue in New Zealand and the Ministry of Health won’t be found to have been wrong.
For example, Dr Shoemack, Medical Officer of Health in the Bay of Plenty and Lakes region, told the councillors that “fluoridation doesn’t treat individuals, it treats the water”– obviously completely untrue. The whole point of fluoridation is to medically treat individuals. Dr Clark misled the council by claiming that the US National Toxicology Program review only looked at studies “well over 1.5ppm, very different to what we have here”. Once again, this was totally untrue.
Fluoride Free New Zealand calls on all local authorities in New Zealand to do the same as RLC. We also challenge anyone who agrees with fluoridation to provide a well referenced rebuttal of any claims made by RLC that are not in agreement with the New Zealand Ministry of Health.

Chaos in Serbian parliament as smoke bombs and flares explode, leaving at least 3 injured.
(Are they trying to outdo the haka that took place in NZ parliament?)
Video footage from the assembly hall showed a clash first between lawmakers and later flares and smoke bombs being thrown. Serbian media said eggs and water bottles also were thrown.
Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic, who accused the opposition of being a “terrorist gang,” said one of those injured was in a serious condition.
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban says he believes the globalists have begun to move in with destabilization efforts in three countries: Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia.
“After loosing Washington to the patriots, globalist-liberal forces retreated to Brussels, and set their sights on Serbia, Slovakia, and Hungary. Today's chaos in the Serbian Parliament - smoke bombs, violence, and obstruction - shows how far they’re willing to go to destabilise sovereign nations. We cannot allow this to continue.”

Taking place in Israel: A court-led probe into the Oct 7 attacks. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not seem very happy about it.
Bibbi Netanyahu railed against his critics and accused the media of working with the “deep state” as he rejected the establishment of a court-appointed inquiry into the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks.
Most critical thinkers know the Israeli govt and military had a great deal to do with the security lapses of Oct 7. Many Israelis know also. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if an official legal probe in Israel could prove this to all the Israeli people?
But Bibi does not want that, saying without providing any evidence that the findings would be “predetermined” and that a court-led probe would be biased.
“What do you think? That we’re children?” he shouted into a microphone as some his fellow politicians jeered and shouted at him during Monday night's debate.

Concerns Intensify as Ailing Pope Francis Has Two New Acute Respiratory Crises and Is Back on the Ventilator
Meanwhile back in Washington, Pres Trump is about two hours from his March 4th address at the Capitol about which he has stated, with characteristic modesty, that “This will be the greatest and best speech of all time, believe me!”
If I was a cynic, I would say that if Trump really does have some truly significant things to say, the Pope’s handlers could decide that this is a good moment to announce his death. (mb)

Opinions are widespread that WE WILL NEVER SEE THE EPSTEIN FILES or any proper information about world leaders exposed in this MOSAD blackmailing operation.
As a counter to this, here is what BRIAN CATES - @riseofthenewmedia - has to say about that:
"What are the facts that unfolded over the past week and a half?
"Who do you allow to FRAME your understanding of these recent events FOR YOU so you don't have to do any messy thinking FOR YOURSELF?
"Are you a Digital Soldier in a 5th Generation Information War or are you a casual consumer of other people's content where they frame your understanding of events for you?
"Can you recognize framing of events that attempt to either emotionally manipulate you or spin events in such a manner as to make you look in the wrong direction?
"Can you seek out alternative framings of the same events and then compare them?
"If not, why not?
"Does your loyalty to certain social media influencers blind you?”
And here is the reason for Brian Cates’s opinion:
He suggests that the initial aborted leak of the files was quite a successful operation as Bondi and Kash just exposed the SDNY and NY FBI Field Office as being under foreign control and wrestled the control away from whichever foreign entity had it.
“They started an investigation into who lied to them about the Epstein evidence, got a truckload of evidence on Friday, and forced a very public resignation of a top official who is now an investigatory target.
"Kash is now going over a couple thousand documents this foreign entity was attempting to hide from him and Bondi. Sounds like a good couple of days work to me." (mb)

TOP DEMS READ FROM SAME SCRIPT - IS ANYONE SURPRISED?
Here's what the Daily mail said:
Democrat leaders were caught red-handed reading from the same script in videos meant to oppose Donald Trump's address to Congress.
Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker all published footage of their opposition Tuesday with the same word-for-word clips and strikingly similar b-roll.
All began with the same clip of the president vowing to 'bring prices down' - and the same expletive-laden reaction from each senator, 'Sh*t that ain't true.'
Nearly identical rants ensue from there clearly from the same source. 'Since day one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are up - not down,' all three say to start.
'Inflation is getting worse. The price (or cost, as Warren put it) of groceries, gas, housing, eggs', all said, is either getting 'higher' or 'worse.'
The rest of the rants - aside from the odd word - followed the same pattern, catching the attention of figures such as Elon Musk and the Utah Senator Mike Lee.
Both, along with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, called the trio out on the display, as did Americans who felt their intelligence was being underestimated.

GOFF IS A GONNA AS HIGH COMMISSIONER
From the NZ Herald:
Phil Goff’s position as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom is now “untenable” Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters’ office says, off the back of “deeply disappointing” comments the former Auckland mayor made regarding Donald Trump.
Asking a question of Finnish Foreign Affairs Minister Elina Valtonen at a Chatham House event in London this week, Goff said he had been re-reading a speech from former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1938 after the Munich Agreement.
“He turned to Chamberlain, he said, ‘You had the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, yet you will have war’,” Goff said,
“President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?”
In a statement from a spokesperson for Peters to the Herald said: “Phil Goff’s comments are deeply disappointing.”
“They do not represent the views of the NZ Government and make his position as High Commissioner to London untenable.
“We have asked the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bede Corry, to now work through with Mr Goff the upcoming leadership transition at the New Zealand High Commission in London.”
Following Goff’s question, those in attendance at the event laughed. The Finnish minister also smirked and said she would limit her comments, clearly recognising the delicacy that remarks about Trump require.
“In this time, and I did it myself, I quoted Sir Winston Churchill and he has made some very timeless remarks,” she said, smirking again.
Former Labour Prime Minister Helen Clark, whose Cabinet Phil Goff served in, posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the revelations saying: This looks like a very thin excuse for sacking a highly respected former #NZ Foreign Minister from his post as High Commissioner to the UK".
“I have been at Munich Security Conference recently where many draw parallels between Munich 1938 & US actions now.”
It comes as New Zealand attempts to walk a careful line with the United States, which has begun applying significant tariffs against other countries, including Five Eyes partners like Canada.
Speaking earlier this week off the back of the clash between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he still viewed the US as “reliable”.
“We have a strong partnership with the US, there’s a lot of collaboration, there’s lots we can do together,” Luxon said.
Goff, a former Labour leader and Foreign Affairs Minister, started in the post in January 2023. He left Parliament in 2016 and was Auckland Mayor from November that year until 2022.
Just months into the role, Goff caused offence to Kīngi Tūheitia at an event for the New Zealand delegation in London, after forgetting to perform a karakia and telling the delegation that no one in the room had experienced a Coronation before.
Then-Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said at the time it was “certainly regrettable”.
“It was a mistake. I think it is important, you know, in these sorts of events that we do acknowledge the Crown-Māori relationship, and Kīngi Tūheitia clearly has a relationship with the Crown over here – we should acknowledge that.”

“President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?”
In a statement from a spokesperson for Peters to the Herald said: “Phil Goff’s comments are deeply disappointing.”
“They do not represent the views of the NZ Government and make his position as High Commissioner to London untenable.
“We have asked the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bede Corry, to now work through with Mr Goff the upcoming leadership transition at the New Zealand High Commission in London.”
Following Goff’s question, those in attendance at the event laughed. The Finnish minister also smirked and said she would limit her comments, clearly recognising the delicacy that remarks about Trump require.
“In this time, and I did it myself, I quoted Sir Winston Churchill and he has made some very timeless remarks,” she said, smirking again.
Former Labour Prime Minister Helen Clark, whose Cabinet Phil Goff served in, posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the revelations saying: This looks like a very thin excuse for sacking a highly respected former #NZ Foreign Minister from his post as High Commissioner to the UK".
“I have been at Munich Security Conference recently where many draw parallels between Munich 1938 & US actions now.”
It comes as New Zealand attempts to walk a careful line with the United States, which has begun applying significant tariffs against other countries, including Five Eyes partners like Canada.
Speaking earlier this week off the back of the clash between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he still viewed the US as “reliable”.
“We have a strong partnership with the US, there’s a lot of collaboration, there’s lots we can do together,” Luxon said.
Goff, a former Labour leader and Foreign Affairs Minister, started in the post in January 2023. He left Parliament in 2016 and was Auckland Mayor from November that year until 2022.
Just months into the role, Goff caused offence to Kīngi Tūheitia at an event for the New Zealand delegation in London, after forgetting to perform a karakia and telling the delegation that no one in the room had experienced a Coronation before.
Then-Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said at the time it was “certainly regrettable”.
“It was a mistake. I think it is important, you know, in these sorts of events that we do acknowledge the Crown-Māori relationship, and Kīngi Tūheitia clearly has a relationship with the Crown over here – we should acknowledge that.”

NEW: Pro-Hamas protestors have seized control of the Milstein Library at Barnard College in New York City. They assert that they have "renamed" the facility, now calling it the "Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Liberated Zone."
The school distributed fliers warning students to clear the building immediately or face consequences. They, instead, ripped them up and threw them on the ground.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna refers four Sanctuary City mayors over to Attorney General Pam Bondi for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION!
In an often fiery hearing today before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by James Comer, four democrat mayors faced intense questioning from Republican lawmakers.
"Sanctuary cities" is a policy that means different things to different people, but it essentially allows illegal immigrants to be protected from law-enforcement, and President Trump has vowed to end all sanctuary cities. Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar has warned the mayor of Boston, warning that he would "bring hell" to this city over its approach to immigration.
Apparently, these words are no idle threat, and Congresswoman Luna told the four mayors today that they are aiding and abetting criminals and thus committing a federal offence.
The mayors present are Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Mike Johnston of Denver and Eric Adams of New York.
