Russian Foreign Ministry says US is disrespecting law in Brittney Griner case
The Russian Foreign Ministry blasted the US Thursday for continuing to call WNBA star Brittney Griner "wrongfully detained" by authorities in Moscow, saying it's disrespectful to Russian law. Griner has been locked up in Russia since February, when she was busted for having cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage as she arrived at a Moscow airport. "If a US citizen was taken in connection with the fact that she was smuggling drugs, and she does not deny this, then this should be commensurate with our Russian, local laws, and not with those adopted in San Francisco, New York and Washington," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Canadian military seeking to hide Trudeau's flight info
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's personal flight schedule has gotten the PM in trouble more than once for proving he's lied about his whereabouts on his public schedule, and now, the Canadian military says it's exploring ways to add a layer of secrecy to the movement of flights that carry Trudeau. The Royal Canadian Air Force says it's investigating how it might prevent the real-time tracking of Canadian Armed Forces flights, The Globe and Mail reports. One option would ensure that flight-tracking websites, which sell their services for a fee, are unable to display the movement of some Canadian military planes.

"Putin entirely too healthy," says CIA director after rumors he was dying
Breathless reports speculating on Vladimir Putin's "poor health" seem to have become a bi-monthly exercise since the Russian invasion of Ukraine kicked off. Among the more recent and widely reported supposed health scares was an alleged Cancer diagnosis and treatment in April, based on anonymous sources who say they are in the know, but also based in part on the Russian leader's "dramatically changed appearance" - according to some Western reports. But time and again what ends up being pure sensationalized "rumor" and educated guesses or speculation at best doesn't pan out. There's nothing ever presented in the way of evidence, or any official confirmation from the Kremlin or anyone actually close to Putin. In the opening month of the war, there were even rumors that Putin was "dying" - and that this figured into his rationale of risking so much politically in ordering the Ukraine invasion. The idea was that a Putin getting close to the end was a more dangerous and unpredictable...

California's energy war on the poor
California continues to implement policies on energy, housing, and transportation that are anti-poor and anti-working class. A few years ago, author and demographer Joel Kotkin declared that "California is a great state in which to be rich." Of course, it's good to be rich anywhere. But California — the province that for decades has led the United States in cultural issues like fashion, gay rights, and entertainment — has devolved into a state where the American dream is being strangled by a phalanx of energy and climate regulations that are imposing huge regressive taxes on the poor and middle class. And worse yet, the state's vast bureaucracy is imposing yet more regulations that will further tighten the financial noose on Californians. Before going further, it's essential to put California into context. While the state is known for posh spots like Beverly Hills, Marin County, and Silicon Valley, the Golden State has the highest poverty rate in America. Indeed, the poverty...

Britain 'immediately' supported US over 1988 shooting down of Iranian airliner
The attack occurred during the Iran-Iraq war, which had begun in 1980 with Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran. The US government backed Saddam, and sent warships to the Persian Gulf to support the Iraqi war effort. One of those warships was the USS Vincennes which, on 3 July 1988, fired two missiles at Iran Air Flight 655 while it was making a routine trip to Dubai. Washington claimed the US Navy had acted in self-defence, but this wasn't true. The plane had not, as the Pentagon claimed, moved "outside the prescribed commercial air route", nor had it been "descending" towards USS Vincennes at "high speed". The US thus shot down a civilian airliner, and haphazardly tried to cover it up. Some 66 children were among the 290 civilians killed.

Kamala Harris speechwriter leaves administration for new writing gig on Sesame Street
According to sources within the White House, Kamala Harris is once again losing another staff member as her top aide is leaving the administration after taking a new job. Sabrina Singh, Harris' current deputy press secretary and main speechwriter, has been poached by Sesame Street to write speeches for them instead. "I'm at a point in my career where I need to grow and be challenged and that's not going to happen here with Vice President Harris. I want to move into the big leagues and start writing for legends like Big Bird, and Bert and Ernie," said Singh. "With Sesame Street, I'll be writing more intricately crafted speeches for an audience that simply won't tolerate rambling, incoherent gibberish." "We've had our eye on Kamala's speech writer for some time," said a Sesame Street spokesperson.

German Government admits Covid vaccines cause serious injury for one in 5,000 doses - But its own data show the real rate is one in 300 doses
The German Government publicly acknowledged on Wednesday that the Covid vaccines cause serious side effects for one in every 5,000 doses. A tweet from the Ministry of Health stated (via Google translate): "One in 5,000 people is affected by a serious side effect after a COVID19 #vaccination. If you suspect #sideeffects, get medical attention and report your symptoms to @PEI_Germany." It later added a correction that the figure related to the reporting rate and to doses rather than individuals: "Correction: According to @PEI_Germany, the reporting rate for serious reactions is 0.2 reports per 1,000 vaccine doses." Subsequently, the original tweet was deleted and a corrected version put up.

Supreme Court rejects Biden immigration guidance, keeps Trump-era policy in place for now
The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to freeze a lower court ruling that prevented the Biden administration from prioritizing for deportation only illegal immigrants who pose the greatest risk to public safety. The vote was 5-4, with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in saying they would have allowed the Biden administration to put in place the guidance. The court's order leaves the policy frozen nationwide for now, and the court will hear arguments in the case later this year.

South Dakota congressman demands answers from Bill Gates over farmland purchases
Rep. Dusty Johnson, a Republican, pointed to issues with Gates' purchase of massive swaths of farmland across 19 states. Bill Gates, who is America's largest individual owner of farmland, is now facing scrutiny for his ownership of nearly 270,000 acres of farmland in 19 states. One South Dakota congressman has taken notice of Gates' unmitigated buyout of agricultural land and seeks to bring the Microsoft founder and philanthropist before a committee to explain his vast ownership of farmland. Rep. Dusty Johnson, in a letter to House Agriculture Committee chairman David Scott, wrote: "It has become clear in recent reports that Mr. Gates is the largest private farmland owner in America — he now owns nearly 270,000 acres of farmland across 19 states.

Resisting the 'food transition': Genetic engineering and dependency
The 'food transition' is integral to the 'great reset'. This transition is couched in the language of climate emergency and sustainability and warnings about the imminent need to address the Malthusian threat of too many people and not enough food to feed nine billion by 2050. This transition envisages a particular future for farming. It is not organic and relatively few farmers have a place in it. It involves drones, driverless machines and largely farmerless farms. Cloud-based 'precision' agriculture as the norm - meaning GMOs and new gene-editing techniques and amalgamated farmlands growing monocultures. GM crops are required to feed the world is a well-worn industry slogan trotted out at every available opportunity. Just like the claim of GM crops being a tremendous success, this too is based on a myth. There is no global shortage of food. Even under any plausible future population scenario, there will be no shortage as evidenced by scientist Dr Jonathan Latham in his paper...

Russia teaches Europe ABC of gas trade
The unthinkable is happening for the second time in five months: Russian gas giant Gazprom writes to German gas companies announcing force majeure effective from June 14, exonerating it from any compensation for shortfalls since then. The first time shock and awe appeared in German-Russian relations this year was on February 22 when Chancellor Olaf Shloz surprised even hardened political observers by freezing approval process for the newly-constructed Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The $11 billion pipeline beneath the Baltic Sea would have doubled the volume of gas sent directly from Russia to Germany, but Scholz instead blocked its commissioning. Those were halcyon days when Berlin talked of "defeating" Russia. Scholz's move was in reaction to Moscow's decision on February 21 to recognise two breakaway regions of Ukraine as independent republics. Russia hawks in Germany applauded his decision. Acclaim came pouring in. Jana Puglierin, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations...

75% of middle class Americans say their income is falling behind cost of living
Inflation and a looming recession have left middle-class Americans feeling glum about household finances and the U.S. economy, a survey released Wednesday showed. Seventy-five percent of Americans with incomes between $30,000 and $100,000 say their income is falling behind inflation, according to a survey by Georgia-based financial services company Primerica. That's up from 67 percent as recently as March, indicating a dramatic surge in the number of middle-class Americans feeling burdened by inflation. An even larger share — 77 percent — say they expect the economy to enter into a recession by the end of this year. Sixty-one percent of these middle-income Americans say they expect the economy to be worse off a year from now. Just 14 percent say they expect it to be better. Forty-one percent say that inflation is their top concern. Being able to pay for food is the top concern of 26 percent.

The Church of Pfizer: DC promotes 'Faith in Vaccine' initiative

Lightning strikes claimed 5,706 lives in the Indian state of Odisha in 20 years
Odisha witnessed 21.73 lakh lightning strikes that claimed 5,706 lives in the last two decades. The deaths due to lightning continue to be on an upward spiral, revealed a global study that mapped main risk areas of lightning fatalities between 2000 and 2020 over Odisha. Researchers from six universities in India and Brazil found lightning-induced deaths are among the most unnoticed disaster fatalities and often ignored as it is not considered as a public health issue. Odisha has been hit by over 10,000 strikes every year between 2000 and 2020 except for 2001, 2017, and 2018. Despite the variabilities, lightning activities showed a clear increasing trend during the past 20 years.

Odisha has been hit by over 10,000 strikes every year between 2000 and 2020 except for 2001, 2017, and 2018. Despite the variabilities, lightning activities showed a clear increasing trend during the past 20 years.

Is CERN causing collective mass delusion by creating portals to alternate dimensions? an investigation
Cynthia Sue Larson has been on the lookout since July 5, when CERN turned the world's most powerful particle collider back on for a third time. Larson is looking for "reality shifts and Mandela Effects," or evidence of multiple universes, timelines, rips in the space-time continuum, or other evidence that reality as we know it has been distorted by the Large Hadron Collider. "I've been paying attention to see whether reports of Mandela Effects might increase, now that CERN's Large Hadron Collider fired back up again," Larson, the author of Reality Shifts and Quantum Jumps, told Motherboard. "So far I've not yet noticed large-scale reports of new Mandela Effects in the past day or so, though it does seem there is a large and growing interest in the Mandela Effect." CERN has noticed.
