SOTT FOCUS: Objective:Health - Do Covid Vaccines Do Anything They're Supposed To?
Welcome to another episode of In the News, where the Objective:Health hosts take a look through the latest health headlines and give their take. On this week's episode, we once again dive into the murky world of Covid vaccines. The latest news has us wondering if these vaccines do ANYTHING they're supposed to. Coming out of the UK is data showing that the people most likely to die from Covid are those who have been vaccinated and, predictably, the more shots one has, the more likely they are to die. We also look at the fact that deaths which occurred during Pfizer's safety trial on their mRNA shots weren't fully investigated (surprise surprise). We also delve into other ways the vaccine trials have been rigged. Join us for all of this and more on this episode of Objective:Health. And check us out on Brighteon!

Mismanagement or green agenda? California's farmland rapidly turns to dust amid water crisis
As much of the Western US suffers from a historic drought, all eyes have shifted to Californian farmers as hundreds of thousands of acres become fallow in a state responsible for a tremendous amount of US food production. Unprecedented cuts to water supplies are jeopardizing the future of growing for many farmers. Drought conditions are worsening, making it harder for farmers to irrigate crops.

Covid-19 Australia: 'Pandemic babies' with no immunity to viruses ending up in ICU
A concerning number of 'pandemic babies' with no immunity to respiratory viruses are ending up seriously ill in ICU. Doctors have revealed children born during the Covid-19 pandemic are requiring intensive care 'from encountering viruses they haven't come across before', such as influenza, RSV and Covid. The children had been born and raised when there were virtually no other viruses circulating in Australia, other than Covid-19. The Children's Hospital at Westmead infectious diseases paediatrician Dr Philip Britton said an analysis of ICU admissions across shows babies are testing positive for influenza and Covid at the same time. 'Over the last month or so, we have seen four times the admissions to hospital for flu in children as for Covid,' Dr Britton told The Daily Telegraph.

A court in Russia's southwestern city of Rostov-on-Don has sentenced opera singer Vadim Cheldiyev to 10 years in prison for his role in organizing a massive rally against anti-coronavirus restrictions in the entertainer's native North Ossetia region in 2020. The Rostov regional court on July 19 also sentenced co-defendants Ramis Chirkinov and Arsen Besolov to eight and 8 1/2 years in prison, respectively. Cheldiyev was found guilty of the distribution of false information about the pandemic, extremism, hooliganism, organization of mass disorder, and attacking a law enforcement officer.

Living in la-la land: Britain's military decline exposes NATO's collapse in credibility and capability
NATO's plan to vastly increase its forward force is wishful thinking, and the UK's struggle for military relevance is a perfect case in point The secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jens Stoltenberg, recently announced the US-led military bloc's goal of expanding its so-called 'Response Force' from its current strength of 40,000 to a force of more than 300,000 troops. "We will enhance our battlegroups in the eastern part of the Alliance up to brigade-levels," Stoltenberg declared. "We will transform the NATO Response Force and increase the number of our high readiness forces to well over 300,000." The announcement, made at the end of NATO's annual summit, held in Madrid, Spain, apparently took several defense officials from the NATO membership by surprise, with one such official calling Stoltenberg's figures "number magic." Stoltenberg appeared to be working from a concept that had been developed within NATO headquarters based upon assumptions made...

The heatwave green hysteria is out of control
If you find yourself wondering over the next few days why it is so swelteringly hot, I have an answer for you. It's because of rich people. It's because of those wealthy elites with all their gas-guzzling vehicles and reckless holidaymaking. It's their fault you're sweating on the Tube. This infantile claim really is being made, and by supposedly serious politicians. Labour's Richard Burgon, over on his Instagram account, is wringing his no doubt sweaty hands over the filthy rich folk who apparently landed us in this weather apocalypse. 'As we face 40°C temperatures and the first ever Red Extreme Heat Warning, remember this climate crisis is driven by the wealthy', he cries. His stern words are accompanied, naturally, by that Met Office map showing half of Britain coloured dark red - the hellish hue that has been chosen to illustrate how dire our predicament has allegedly become. Is anyone else tiring of all this green hysteria over the heatwave? There is something medieval about...

New report shows micro-meteor impacts have left 'uncorrectable' damage to the Webb telescope's mirror
Fortunately, engineers planned for this. Since launching on Dec. 25, 2021, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been pelted by at least 19 tiny space rocks — including one large one that left noticeable damage on one of the telescope's 18 gold-plated mirrors. In a sprawling new status report posted to the pre-print database arXiv.org (opens in new tab), NASA researchers have shared the first images showing the extent of that damage. Seen on the C3 mirror in the lower right-hand corner of the image, the impact site appears as a single bright white dent besmirching the golden mirror's surface.

Satellite imagery shows global crop declines - except for Russia and China
Infrared satellite imagery designed to measure moisture levels and the health of farmlands suggests that staple crops such as wheat are in poor condition and in sharp decline among major exporters including the Ukraine, the US and India. Two countries do have bumper crops so far though; namely Russia and China. It is hard to say which governments and institutions monitor this data, but a few months ago a multitude of political leaders and global banks issued simultaneous warnings of a "global food shortage" and an impending crisis. Such institutions included the IMF, World Bank, the BIS and even the White House. So far, a perfect storm of stagflation, supply chain disruptions and poor weather conditions have combined to disrupt food production around the world. Price inflation due to central bank stimulus measures has been enough to do incredible damage to the many national economies, but a single bad year for crops on top of this could spell disaster.

What has Trump's endless prosecution accomplished?
Tonight was meant to be the grand primetime finale of the January 6th hearings, but those have been postponed. MSNBC's Ali Vitali, when asked the reason, answered in classic fashion. "Look," she said. "You have to infer that the reason for that is they're getting new cooperation, not least of which from former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone..." Do we? Have to infer that? From George Nader to Michael Cohen to Hope Hicks to Michael Flynn to Don McGahn to Alexander Vindman to Cassidy Hutchinson to a long, long list of others, we've been repeatedly told the key Bearer Of Secrets had turned states evidence, and the "John Dean moment" was here. Do you remember the New Yorker article from the summer of 2018, "Allen Weisselberg, the Man Who Knows Donald Trump's Financial Secrets, Has Agreed to Become a Coöperating Witness"? The one containing the line, "Allen is the one guy who knows everything"? No? Neither had I. But it happened, another moment crumpled up and thrown at the bottom of...

Let's bring regulation into the 21st century
We wouldn't build airplanes which contradict the laws of aerodynamics and neither should we allow government to write regulations that ignore the fundamental force of swarm intelligence. With the predicted electoral red wave coming this fall and likely continuation in 2024, now is the time to plot a course for the complete reshaping of regulation in this country. Are you listening, President Trump? There is no reason to start the planning on day one. Rather, Republicans should have a detailed plan(s) already prepared to begin implementation on day one. They can do what they can when Republicans take back Congress and push it to warp speed when they win the White House. Now is the time to do this and to use our scientific knowledge of swarm intelligence as our guide. Today, far too much regulation — at both the state and federal level — is based on the antiquated predictive system design. This is a hierarchical "boss" design where bosses are expected to be able to predict the future...

Ancient Roman 'Bridge of Nero' re-emerges from the Tiber River during severe drought
The bridge was built in a poorly chosen site, experts say. After a period of unusually hot weather and low rainfall, it's now possible to see the resurfaced remains of an ancient bridge in the Tiber River in Rome, Italy. A severe drought in Italy has revealed an archaeological treasure in Rome: a bridge reportedly built by the Roman emperor Nero that is usually submerged under the waters of the Tiber River. The dropping water levels of the Tiber, which according to Reuters is flowing at multi-year lows, have exposed the stone remains of the Pons Neronianus (Latin for the Bridge of Nero), WION news , a news agency headquartered in New Delhi, India, reported.

Hungarian lawmakers approve proposal calling for end to elected EU Parliament
Hungary's parliament has given its approval to a proposal to abolish the European Parliament as an elected body and replace it with a system where the national legislatures of the bloc's 27 members appoint representatives. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing nationalist Fidesz Party proposed the move, with 130 of its lawmakers in the 234-seat house backing it on July 19. Fifty deputies in the legislature opposed the proposal, which also calls for deleting the objective of an "ever closer union," which is written into EU treaties. Orban is expected to present the proposal to EU leaders sometime in the coming months. Orban, who has dominated Hungarian politics for more than a decade, has been battling Brussels on a range of issues from perceived democratic and rights backsliding, to sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, to enlargement and other internal EU issues.

Zelensky fires head of security service and prosecutor general
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova and SBU chief Ivan Bakanov have been fired from their positions effective Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced by presidential decree, citing a high number of cases of treason among law enforcement and the intelligence service. Some 651 criminal cases relating to high treason and "collaboration activities" had been registered on law enforcement employees, while more than 60 SBU agents were supposedly "working against our state," Zelensky announced on Sunday, explaining this rationale for firing the senior officials. Bakanov was removed under Article 47 of the Disciplinary Statute of the Ukrainian military, which refers to failure in official duties "which caused loss of life or other grave consequences or create a threat of such consequences." His replacement has not yet been named. Venediktova, who had served as Ukraine's prosecutor general since March 2020, has been replaced by Oleksiy Symonenko.

Switzerland turns down NATO request on Ukrainians
Bern has refused to treat Ukrainian civilians, arguing that they are "indistinguishable" from soldiers, local media report The Swiss federal government has turned down a request to treat wounded Ukrainians, arguing that the move would violate the Alpine nation's neutral status, the country's Tages Anzeiger newspaper has learned. The request was made by a NATO department. The Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre - a NATO structure that currently coordinates international medical evacuations and treatment of Ukrainians injured during the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev - reportedly reached out to the Swiss Army's Coordinated Medical Service (KSD) in May. The military bloc sought aid from Swiss medics in caring for not just Ukrainian soldiers but for civilians in need of hospital treatment as well, media reported on Monday. Switzerland's national association of health-service providers - the conference of cantonal health directors (GDK) - then said it was...

Ukraine president sacks security chief, top prosecutor over 'treason'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked the head of the country's powerful domestic security service, the SBU, and the prosecutor general, accusing them of collaborating with Russia on security and military issues. The embattled president issued the executive orders late on Sunday, citing more than 650 alleged treason and collaboration cases and alleging that more than 60 officials from the SBU security service and prosecutor's office have been spying for Moscow in Russian-liberated territories. Zelensky stated: "As of today, some 651 criminal cases have been registered on high treason and collaboration activities of employees of the prosecutor's office, pre-trial investigation bodies, and other law enforcement agencies." The sackings of SBU chief Ivan Bakanov, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova marks the biggest political development since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine almost five months ago.

Ukraine threatens to destroy Russian fleet
Ukraine will crush Russia's Black Sea fleet and regain control of Crimea with Western weapons, the country's Deputy Defense Minister, Vladimir Gavrilov has vowed during a visit to the UK. Russia's Black Sea Fleet, which is based in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, is "a permanent threat" to Ukraine, and Kiev has to address this issue, Gavrilov said in an interview with the Times on Tuesday. Kiev was waiting to get longer-range weapons from foreign nations before launching an assault, he added. "We are receiving anti-ship capabilities and sooner or later we will target the fleet. It is inevitable because we have to guarantee the security of our people." Gavrilov claimed that Ukraine is also planning to take back Crimea - which overwhelmingly voted to reunite with Russia in a 2014 referendum after a coup in Kiev. According to the official, the Ukrainian government was holding discussions with their Western backers on whether it could use foreign-supplied arms to target Russian...

1.2 billion-year-old groundwater discovered in South Africa is some of the oldest on Earth
The abundance of hydrogen and helium make it a possible energy source. Groundwater that was recently discovered deep underground in a mine in South Africa is estimated to be 1.2 billion years old. Researchers suspect that the groundwater is some of the oldest on the planet, and its chemical interactions with the surrounding rock could offer new insights about energy production and storage in Earth's crust. In fact, Oliver Warr, a research associate in the department of Earth sciences at the University of Toronto in Canada and lead author of a new study about the groundwater discovery, described the location in a statement as a "Pandora's box of helium-and-hydrogen-producing power."
