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. 'Back home', EUrocrats continue...

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.

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.

Meanwhile in Alaska, part of the Aleutians received large volumes of sulfur dioxide which originated from a very large eruption of the Karymsky volcano in Russia. And, in New Zealand, the Ruapehu volcano is continuing to show signs of unrest as it has been producing its longest period of volcanic tremor since 2002.

Disney has lost $34 billion in value since embarking on culture war with Florida
Disney's market cap has shrunk by nearly $34 billion since the company expressed its full-throated opposition to a Florida law banning instruction of gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools for kindergarten through third grade. Florida lawmakers in March passed HB 1557, dubbed by opponents as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which was signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on March 28. That same day, Disney waded deeply into the controversy, issuing a statement that was highly critical of HB 1557, saying it was the company's objective to have it repealed. From March 28, the day the company issued the statement, to April 22, Disney's market cap has fallen by roughly $33.9 billion.

Anglo-Saxon royalty and nobles ate a similar diet to land-owning peasants, new research reveals
Anglo-Saxon kings were mostly vegetarian before the Vikings settled, according to new studies. Cambridge University researchers analysed more than 2,000 skeletons and found elites ate no more meat than other social groups. One study also suggested peasants occasionally hosted lavish meat feasts for their rulers. Researchers said the findings overturned major assumptions about early medieval English history. Cambridge University bioarchaeologist Sam Leggett drew her conclusions after analysing chemical signatures of diets preserved in the bones of 2,023 people buried in England from the 5th to 11th Centuries. Comment: Note that 536AD has been called 'the worst year to be alive' because of the catastrophies that were visited across vast swathes of Europe, and so it is in the context that the Anglo-Saxons - whose official history is up for debate - emerged: 536 AD: Plague, famine, drought, cold, and a mysterious fog that lasted 18 months
