Rockefeller Foundation president starts countdown until all hell breaks loose
Rockefeller Foundation President Rajiv Shah told Bloomberg Television's David Westin a "massive, immediate food crisis" is on the horizon. Shah provides what could be a timeline for the next global food crisis that could begin "in the next six months." He said global fertilizer supply disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine would have an "even worse" impact on the crisis, slashing crop yields worldwide. Shah said debt relief and emergency aid for emerging market countries are needed to mitigate the effects of the food crisis. Shah's appearance on Bloomberg is interesting because of the foundation's repetitive talk about the need for the global food supply to be reset to a more sustainable one. The foundation has closely aligned views with the World Economic Forum (WEF), advocating for a 'global reset'.

Another exodus as Kamala Harris' top staffer resigns
The chief of staff for Vice President Kamala Harris is leaving her job. The announcement that Tina Flournoy was leaving for personal reasons was made on Thursday, The Washington Post reported. Harris commented: "Tina has been a valued advisor and confidant to me and a tremendous leader for the office. From day 1, she led our team during a historic first year as we made progress rebuilding our economy here at home and our alliances around the world. Tina is the consummate public servant and I will continue to rely on her advice, counsel, and friendship." President Joe Biden's Chief of Staff Ron Klain said: "Tina has been a critical member of the White House team since day one, working with the President and Vice President to make their partnership effective and help the administration deliver on critical priorities. Her experience, wisdom, and hard work have been instrumental to our success on many issues." Comment: Fabricated spin to mask non-accomplishments.

EU can't survive a week without Russian gas - Moscow
French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday warned that the European Union would not be able to survive next winter without Russian gas. Meanwhile, former Russian head of state Dmitry Medvedev is even more categorical: in his view, Europe would be unable to get through a week without Russian gas. Amid Russia's ongoing offensive in Ukraine, the EU is discussing a new, sixth, package of sanctions against Moscow, which reportedly might include some restrictions on oil and gas imports from Russia. Russian retaliatory measures could also touch on energy supplies to Europe. Commenting on a potential drop in gas supplies, Macron has issued a stark warning. He said, in an interview with Ouest France, published on Friday: "We are not going to see the consequences of this in the spring and summer of 2022 (we have replenished the stocks), but next winter everything will change if there is no more Russian gas. This may be a subject that will come up on the discussion table, it is not there...

Biden says US spending billions to make military vehicles 'climate friendly'
President Biden on Friday said his administration is working to make "every vehicle" in the United States military "climate-friendly." The president, delivering Earth Day remarks from Seward Park in Seattle, Washington, discussed his administration's efforts to address climate change, and called on Congress to take action. Biden quipped: "One of the things I found out as President of the United States, I get to spend a lot of that money. We're going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it. We're spending billions of dollars to do it." The president said the transition is "going to matter." Biden, last month, announced his $5.8 trillion budget proposal for 2023, which he said called for one of the "largest investments in our national security in history," including funding to ensure the U.S. military "remains the best-prepared, best-trained, best-equipped military in the...

Pentagon's biological warfare built on war crimes of fascist Japan and Nazi Germany
Russia and China have lobbied the UN Security Council for an independent investigation into dozens of laboratories that were being run by the Pentagon in Ukraine up until Moscow launched its military intervention in February. Russia has published classified documents showing that the Pentagon was engaged in developing biological weapons of mass destruction. Washington has disputed the Russian and Chinese concerns as "disinformation", claiming that the laboratories were conducting biomedical defense studies into diseases. Why then was U.S. State Department official Victoria Nuland worried that Russian forces could acquire samples from the labs if they were for innocent biomedical research? Why were the laboratories ordered by the Ukrainian government to immediately destroy samples when Russian troops invaded Ukraine? Even imminent U.S. experts on biowarfare have concurred with the Russian and Chinese positions that the involvement of the Pentagon in Ukraine implies a sinister...

How much are we prepared to sacrifice to help the US win a propaganda war against Putin?
There's a very important question that we all need to be asking ourselves at this point in history, and that question is as follows: How much are we as a society willing to sacrifice so that the US government can win a propaganda war against Vladimir Putin? Let me explain. One severely under-discussed aspect of the latest round of escalations in Silicon Valley censorship which began at the start of the Ukraine war is the fact that it's an entirely unprecedented order of censorship protocol. While it might look similar to all the other waves of social media purges and new categories of banned content that we've been experiencing since it became mainstream doctrine after the 2016 US election that tech platforms need to strictly regulate online speech, the justifications for it have taken a drastic deviation from established patterns. What sets this new censorship escalation apart from its predecessors is that this time nobody's pretending that it's being done in the interests of the...

SOTT FOCUS: NewsReal: UK Govt Now Says Russia Might Win in Ukraine After All
In an unexpected shift from the unified Western narrative that Russia is losing badly and will soon be driven out, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson this week became the first Western leader to concede Vladimir Putin could 'win the war' in Ukraine, and that it could last until the end of next year. This revelation is shocking to those who believe the Western media's war propaganda, but unsurprising to skeptics. This week on NewsReal, Joe and Niall contrast shifting British and Western expectations with the unchanged Russian ones, noting the recent capture of Mariupol and the Russian military's 'land bridge' to Crimea. Meanwhile, in a development that was blacked out by Western media, Russian envoys reported to the UN last week details about a global complex of American bio-labs that ring Russia and China for the purpose of unleashing ethnic-specific weapons - something that perhaps explains China's extreme lockdowns in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

UK's farmers warn country is 'sleepwalking' towards food shortages as production costs soar, supermarkets rationing oils & leaving shelves empty
FARMERS have warned of impending food shortages as the cost of living crisis impacts on food production. Gareth Wyn Jones, a farmer from Snowdonia, told GB News today that producers are reducing their output due to the increased cost of fuel, fertiliser and feed. He said: "We're sleepwalking into food shortages and that's a fact. "I could take you to ten farms in the surrounding area now that are turning down their production - chicken farmers, egg producers, milk producers, even beef and lamb because feed prices are going through the roof.

'A dictatorship and detention camp': Former top diplomat sounds alarm over UK plan to send refugees to Rwanda
A former top Rwanda diplomat forced into exile has attacked government claims that his country is safe to receive refugees from the UK - likening it to "a detention camp". Boris Johnson and Priti Patel have insisted asylum seekers are to be given "a one-way ticket" to the east African nation, after crossing the Channel, will be treated humanely and given a new start in life. But Theogene Rudasingwa, Rwanda's ambassador to the US in the 1990s, has warned "such trust is unfounded" under the iron rule of president Paul Kagame. "Notwithstanding Rwanda's history, the world must be under no illusion as to the truth," he has written in a letter to The Times newspaper.

China to build space 'defense system' to deflect possible asteroid impact by 2025
China seeks to build a system capable of effectively monitoring asteroids and potentially altering their course to protect Earth from a possible impact. The deputy head China's National Space Administration (CNSA), Wu Yanhua, revealed on Sunday that Beijing expects to hit an asteroid as part of an experiment at some point in 2025. What is planned to be set up is a near-Earth asteroid monitoring and defense system that would also be potentially capable of protecting spacecraft as well, Wu told China Central Television during this year's Space Day of China event.

'Stop Russia now' propaganda campaign gets underway in EU, Poland gifts $1.6 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine & admits sanctions aren't working
Poland has launched a campaign called 'Stop Russia now!' to "remind" other European Union members about the situation in Ukraine and convince them to introduce tougher sanctions against Moscow, its Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on Saturday. The effort will feature mobile billboards displaying photos from Ukrainian cities that will be sent to various locations. Comment: Apparently the mainstream media onslaught is not enough. Morawiecki has also said he would himself travel to EU capitals to remind decision makers "what is happening in Ukraine." The campaign, which will also include social media posts, according to the prime minister, "has to contribute decisively to ensuring that Europe is not a Europe of indifference, helplessness, that it is not a Europe of defeat," he has added. Nations in western and southern Europe are willing to return to "normality" too "soon," Morawiecki has said, adding that the campaign is aimed at "awakening the conscience" of the bloc....

Two men and a woman stabbed and several others injured in Warwickshire market town attack
Two men and a woman have been stabbed and several others injured by a suspected lone attacker in a market town in Warwickshire. A shopkeeper claimed a man 'assaulted people coming from town and supposedly kicked a man's dog' before 'pulling a pair of scissors on staff' inside a shop in Bedworth, near Coventry, at 8am on Saturday. One of the victims, a man in his 20s, was in a stable condition in hospital on Saturday evening, while the second man and a woman had been discharged. Police said the suspect, who allegedly had to be tasered during his arrest, will have his mental health assessed. 'One of our customers was going into the town, the man had a go at him, then they came back up here covered in blood', the shopkeeper told the Coventry Telegraph. The suspected attacker allegedly threatened people as he stormed up and down Leicester Road, near to the One Stop store in the town. Police have since issued an appeal for other potential victims to come forward.

Catholic priest, nun injured in stabbing attack at French church
A man stabbed a Catholic priest several times and injured a nun at a French church on Sunday after shouting, "We have to kill Macron." Both the priest and the nun survived the attack, which took place at a church in Nice beside the French Riviera. The motives of the suspect, who was taken into custody by police, are still unclear, although his mental faculties had been under watch. The nun, Sister Marie-Claude, was injured while trying to stop the attacker from stabbing the priest, Father Christophe. Her actions were praised as heroic and she was credited for having "extraordinary courage."

Washington lawmakers claim term 'marijuana' is racist, remove it from state laws
A bill in Washington will soon take effect striking the word "marijuana" from all state laws after progressive lawmakers deemed the term "racist." The change removes the word, swapping it out for the term "cannabis" instead. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill, which passed unanimously and changes every Revised Code of Washington, into law March 11. The changes take effect in June. Supporters of the bill, House Bill 1210, say the word "marijuana" has a long history of racism, claiming its usage is racist against black and brown people.
