Survey: Student behavior among major reasons teachers are leaving their jobs
In a survey conducted by Chalkboard Review, it was revealed that a vast majority of midwestern teachers that are leaving their jobs are leaving because of pay, students' behavior or progressive politics in the classroom rather than reasons like Covid-19 or school shootings, amongst other reasons. The survey issued three preliminary questions and four main questions, with 615 K-12 teachers in the midwestern states of Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio responding. Of those that included salary as a main reason for leaving their position, 319 teachers listed student behavior as their biggest reason to resign from their position, followed by 138 who said progressive political activity, and 134 who said that salary is insufficient.

Central African Republic - Floods cause fatalities, hundreds of homes destroyed
According to local media reports, heavy rain and flash flooding affected the capital Bangui and surrounding areas. The city recorded 183 mm of rain in 48 hours to 23 July 2022. At least 3 children were reported missing after being swept away on the floods in two separate incidents. Six people were taken to hospital to be treated for injuries sustained during the severe weather. Around 250 homes collapsed and many more were damaged or flooded, leaving thousands homeless. Some of those left homeless took refuge in religious buildings or schools. There were no reports that the Ubangi River had broken its banks. Severe weather also affected other areas of the country. In the prefecture of Lobaye, situated south of the capital, 9 people from the same family died in the village of Bouchia due to falling trees. Further north in Haute-Kotto prefecture, heavy rain caused the walls of a house to collapse in Bria, leaving one person dead and 3 injured.

MI6 front Bellingcat confirms involvement in Ukrainian plot to steal Russian jets
The controversial group insists, however, that it was merely making a "documentary film" Christo Grozev, self-styled 'lead Russia investigator' with Bellingcat, confirmed on Monday his involvement in a Ukrainian intelligence plot to incite Russian military pilots to defect and hijack their planes. The senior member of the controversial Western-funded group, however, challenged the story told by the Russian side. Russia's Security Service (FSB) has presented "a traditional mix of forged 'evidence' and loosely interpreted facts" on the affair, Grozev claimed, rejecting allegations of being directly involved in the plot. According to a middleman detained by Russian intelligence, he had been receiving orders directly from Grozev on how to deliver cash to the pilots in exchange for videos proving they actually have access to warplanes.

Erdogan says West gets what it gives regarding its relationship with Putin
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday criticized his Western colleagues for having the wrong attitude towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, contrasting it with his own ability to work with Moscow on issues ranging from the Syrian peace process to last week's deal to export Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea ports. "You know the attitude of Western politicians towards Putin," he told state broadcaster TRT during a lengthy interview on Monday evening, calling it "unbecoming of politics."

Unsocial media monitor: Twitter censors James Lindsay's use of 'groomer' just days after Media Matters demands it do so
Dr. James Lindsay was temporarily locked out of his Twitter account this week for calling a Media Matters journalist "groomer," just two days after the outlet published a hit piece calling on Twitter to ban the use of the phrase entirely — specifically citing Lindsay as a "far-right" author who supposedly uses the term to "smear" the LGBTQ community. The piece also singled out Chaya Raichik, who runs the popular Libs of TikTok twitter account, as well as a similar account called "Gays Against Groomers." Indeed, Lindsay and the other accounts in question have popularized the use of the phrase "groomer" to refer to those who seek to condition children into certain sexualities, and indoctrinate them into radical gender ideology.

Fauci, Top Biden officials subpoenaed in lawsuit alleging they colluded with social media to suppress free speech
Top-ranking Biden administration officials — including Dr. Anthony Fauci — and five social media giants have 30 days to respond to subpoenas and discovery requests in a lawsuit alleging the government colluded with social media companies to suppress freedom of speech "under the guise of combatting misinformation." Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on Wednesday served third-party subpoenas on Twitter, Meta (Facebook's parent company), Youtube, Instagram and LinkedIn. Schmitt and Landry on Tuesday filed discovery requests seeking documents and information from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Fauci, its director; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy; and former Disinformation Governance Board executive director Nina Jankowicz.

New Zealand ski resort closes due to too much snow
Ski resorts in the southern hemisphere are having a great season with massive snowstorms dumping feet of snow on the mountains. In fact, there was too much at this ski field in New Zealand. Mt Lyford Alpine Resort near Christchurch announced on social media on Friday that it would not be opening—due to too much snow. SORRY We tried. We are not going to make opening today. There is just too much snow on our road, the visibility is not improving. The lifts also have a good amount of rime ice on them so we will be spending the rest of the day getting everything sorted for a sunny Saturday with plenty of pow. - Mt Lyford Alpine Resort

Recent heatwave shows real science is being ignored - normal weather is treated as a catastrophic event
The recent brief heatwave in the U.K. and parts of Europe provides a textbook case of how the weather is being catastrophised to serve the interests of the command-and-control Net Zero agenda. The U.K. heatwave was exceptionally hot, but according to Professor Cliff Mass, this "extraordinary extreme event" is a sign that "global warming played a very small role in this event". According to Mass, the golden rule of climate extremes is: "The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability and the smaller the contribution of human-caused global warming." Mass is Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. He does not rule out the involvement of human-caused global warming, but is dismissive of much of the ludicrous scaremongering that dominates the media. "The truth and overwhelming evidence provide a different story: the recent European heatwave is mainly the result of natural processes, but was enhanced modestly...

Fauci's fascist fantasy: If we could do it again, COVID-19 restrictions would be 'much, much more stringent'
The White House's coronavirus adviser answered questions about mask mandates, gain of function research, and more. When asked what he would do differently if he could go back in time to the beginning of the pandemic, White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci said that he would recommend "much, much more stringent restrictions" from the get-go. "If I knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently," said Fauci in an interview on Monday. "The insidious nature of spread in the community would have been much more of an alarm, and there would have been much, much more stringent restrictions in the sense of very, very heavy encouragement of people to wear masks, physical distancing, what have you."

Class Formation
National Globalism and Global Nationalism. Can you taste it? The blood in the water. All over the world, Behemoth is bleeding from a thousand tiny cuts. In Sri Lanka, in the Netherlands, in Ecuador, in Panama, and in a dozen other countries, the populace is in revolt. The tree planted by decades of mismanagement is bearing its poisonous fruit, and people are gagging as they sample it. The WHO announces the simian PridePox as a new global health emergency, and globalpop rolls its eyes. Trust in the regime institutions used to massage public opinion has plummeted, and with it the regime's ability to massage. The talking heads and credentialed experts scream with increasing hysteria about climate emergencies, domestic Not Who We Are assaults to Our Values Democracy, or the threat posed to the Liberal World Order by the Hitler du Jour, but they scream impotently into a hurricane that is far louder, faster, vaster, and more powerful than they could ever hope to be.

NY Times admits Ukraine's military morale is declining
Those willing to fight are left behind while the unwilling are drafted, according to the US newspaper Kiev's "secretive and arbitrary" military recruitment, which leads to the drafting of soldiers who are unwilling to serve, is affecting the morale of the Ukrainian troops fighting against Russia, the New York Times has reported. There are "signs, five grueling months into the war, that the sense of unity is fraying at the edges" within the Ukrainian military, the paper pointed out in a report on Monday. Some soldiers are unhappy that they have done "long, hard service," while many others managed to stay away from service, it said.

Pfizer mRNA vaccine goes into liver and changes into DNA, Swedish study finds
The research was conducted at Lund University. A new Swedish study published in MDPI found that the Pfizer vaccine goes into liver cells and converts to DNA, challenging claims so far that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way. It's the first time that researchers have shown in vitro - or inside a petri dish - how an mRNA vaccine is converted into DNA on a human liver cell line, the Epoch Times reported. It's precisely what health experts and fact-checkers said for more than a year could not occur. Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist who is one of the leading critics of the COVID vaccines, said the findings have "enormous implications of permanent chromosomal change" that could drive a "whole new genre of chronic disease."

London Power prices spike 5,000%, relies on Belgium to thwart rolling blackout
London's power grid was pushed to the brink of failure following last week's record-breaking heatwave. Javier Blas, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering energy and commodities, said power grid disruption hit the eastern part of the British capital for a brief period on July 20 as air conditioners were turned down and spiked power demand, resulting in a bottleneck on the grid. British utilities had trouble pulling from other power-generating sources on the grid. They relied on Belgium via undersea water cables across the English Channel to increase power supply -- boosting power prices to a record high of £9,724.54 (about $11,685) per megawatt hour. This is more than 5,000% versus average power prices of £178 (about $215) per megawatt hour.

Gantz declares Israel can 'seriously harm and delay' Iranian nuclear program
Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Tuesday that Israel has the ability to cause serious damage to Iran's nuclear program, and warned that reviving a 2015 pact with world powers to curb Iranian nuclear activities will only be a delaying tactic. "Iran is a global problem. It is not just Israel's private problem," Gantz said during an interview at a Channel 13 conference in Jerusalem. Asked if Israel has the ability to stop Iran's nuclear development or merely delay it, Gantz said, "We are able to seriously harm and delay the nuclear [program]." Regarding US President Joe Biden's declared desire to revive the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed between Iran and world powers, Gantz said it is not an "unfounded concept." Still, "we are very unsatisfied with the agreement, which would be a bad agreement because it would be a temporary delay," Gantz said. Such a deal would enable to Iranians to develop their economy and eventually legitimize a return to their nuclear...

Ukraine government issues blacklist of 'Russian propagandists'
The Government of Ukraine has issued a blacklist of individuals who they judge to be "promoting Russian propaganda" — including a number of prominent Western intellectuals. The "Center for Countering Disinformation," established in 2021 under Volodymyr Zelensky and headed by former lawyer Polina Lysenko, sits within the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine. Its stated aim is to detect and counter "propaganda" and "destructive disinformation" and to prevent the "manipulation of public opinion." On July 14th it published on its website a list of politicians, academics, activists that are "promoting Russian propaganda" — including several high-profile Western intellectuals and politicians. Republican Senator Rand Paul, former Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, military and geopolitical analyst Edward N. Luttwak, realist political scientist John Mearsheimer and heterodox journalist Glenn Greenwald were all included on the list. The list does not explain what the...

Disinfo board redux: Former Google 'disinformation expert' given top White House cyber role
The White House's Office of the National Cyber Director has a new Deputy National Cyber Director: Camille Stewart Gloster, a former Google executive who specialized in removing "disinformation" from the tech giant's app store, and in her spare time rants about "systemic racism" in America. Gloster is a prime example of the extensively documented revolving door between Google and Democrat administrations. Prior to working for the tech giant, she was Senior Policy Advisor for Cyber, Infrastructure & Resilience Policy at the Department of Homeland Security under President Obama. At Google, she was Head of Security Policy for Google Play and Android at Google, where she led "security, privacy, election integrity, and dis/mis-information." In a tweet, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) accused the Biden administration of appointing a leftist "social justice warrior" to run the cyber office. "The Big Tech, Big Government alliance continues," said Sen. Hawley.

High Court rejects judicial review of children's COVID vaccination, puts government above the law when following 'the science'
In a decision that is extremely disappointing and of grave concern, the High Court has dismissed outright the claimant's application for judicial review and to challenge the offer of Pfizer's mRNA injectables to healthy five to 11 year-olds. Mrs Justice Farbey's decision on July 19th 2022 reveals the court's determined and seemingly now absolute reluctance to scrutinise Government decisions where Covid is involved. As it stands, it also arguably leads to the conclusion that the court will not entertain challenge to any: ministerial decision said to be in response to a pandemic reliant on expert advice; advice or decisions of any expert regulatory body (certainly including the MHRA and JCVI); poor or inaccurate information being provided by the Government to the public about medical treatments (regardless of any misinformation or coercion). There could be an exception, for example a case of obvious fraud, but it is hard to imagine those circumstances being discovered. With the High...

Grassley blasts FBI, DOJ as 'corrupted to their very core' after whistleblowers allege Biden family business coverup
The FBI and Department of Justice are under scrutiny for applying a double standard of justice to their political enemies and prematurely closing investigations — specifically into Hunter Biden — that could yield information that would hurt their preferred political outcomes. In a scathing letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley detailed how partisanship has long tainted how the FBI and DOJ conduct their investigations. He said: "Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I've received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies. You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you." Relying on reports from "highly credible" whistleblowers in both government agencies, Grassley...

COVID jabs impacting male and female fertility?
The first COVID shots rolled out in December 2020, and it didn't take long before doctors and scientists started warning of possible reproductive effects. Among them were Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., director of toxicology and molecular biology for Toxicology Support Services LLC, who in April 2021 submitted a public comment1 to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), highlighting the high potential for adverse effects on fertility. Comment: Here's the link to the video: Toxicologist Warns Against Covid Jabs - Interview with Janci C. Lindsay, Ph.D I previously interviewed Lindsay in 2021. That article is not updated with the new information, but the interview (above) is a good primer for the information she shares below. In many ways, she predicted what we are now observing.
