British economy faces a decade of lost growth unless Sunak’s cabinet takes action on investment tax reliefs, the Northern Ireland protocol and the shrinking workforce
The economic outlook for the U.K. is among the weakest of the advanced nations covered by the CBI forecast, with only GDP in Germany set to fall at a slightly faster pace next year. And no wonder, since British govt lacks of ambition for the low-carbon economy leaving business bosses confused or disappointed and lacks a growth plan to soften the blow from recession.
While Mr. Sunak finds himself under pressure from rebels to remove the Cameron-era prohibition on new turbines to tackle the energy crisis, dozens of Tory MPs warn such a step would put U.K.’s food security at risk. And as long as British PM fails to encourage business to invest in green projects and other productivity-enhancing schemes on the prospects for the economy will only worsen

Covid-19 was the result of the U.S. govt's funding of dangerous genetic engineering of coronaviruses in China
Dr. Andrew Huff, former VP of EcoHealth Alliance, claims this in his new book – The Truth About Wuhan According to the epidemiologist, gain-of-function experiments were carried out with lax security, which led to a leak at the Wuhan lab
Mr. Huff claims to have been at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China when the American govt was funding the study and creation of many viruses but they didn't have the best security inside the premises when he was there
The WHO has constantly maintained the official “wet market version” and has denied any claim that opposed it. However, chairman Tedros Ghebreyesus reportedly told a EU politician he feared the virus did leak from the lab in what he dubbed a “catastrophic accident.” “I was terrified by what I saw,” the army veteran from Michigan told The Sun. “We were just handing them bioweapon technology”

Elon Musk’s release of the “Twitter Files” detailing the company’s work with the Biden campaign in 2020 and the suppression of news reports about Hunter Biden’s embarrassing and potentially illegal conduct is drawing fresh scrutiny of the censorship alliance between Big Tech and Dems
“Now we need to start looking at Facebook, at Google which have become arms of the Democratic Party, arms of the Biden adm.,” House Rep. leader McCarthy said. He suggested the deluge of docs Mr. Musk made public called into question the roles of the dozens of intel. officials who dismissed Biden’s laptop as a “Russian info-op.”
Among them: fmr Dir. of Nat. Intelligence James R. Clapper, fmr CIA Dir. and Def. Sec. Leon E. Panetta, fmr CIA Director John O. Brennan & fmr CIA Dir. Michael V. Hayden
The disclosed messages show Twitter’s past leaders struggling with a tough moderation call with political overtones. Mr. Musk is now on the hook for such decisions himself

Reagan Nat. Def.Forum 2022 has become another strong reason for Americans to ask Mr. Biden, where the taxpayer $ is being spent
Since February, Washington’s military commitments to Ukr. have already amounted to more than $30B. At the same time, manufacturing giants working mainly for the defense industry have been sounding the alarm for a long time
U.S. stockpiles are getting low, and there's still no answer how Pentagon can restock its inventories, stated Gregory Hayes, the chairman and CEO of Raytheon Corp., which has recently contracted another bn-worth supply of surface-to-air missile systems for Kyiv
Against this background, besides a decrease in confidence in the White House’s fin. management capabilities, confidence in the Amer. Mil. as a whole is also dropping, as evidenced by public opinion polls. But as long as the key issues are discussed only at high-level meetings, Mr. Biden may rest easy for the absence of protesters right in his garden

Reps keep on talking about hearings Americans don’t believe will go anywhere, the pointless impeachment of a Cabinet secretary and fighting over the speakership even though no viable altern. candidate has presented himself
In this time of political transition in the U.S., with Dems trending socialist, conservatives need a totally new mindset and approach if they want to compete, let alone save America. Instead of this, Rep. leaders tend to view politics in terms of election cycles. Dems view it as an unceasing ideological battle
Against this background, a leftist activist group has announced a robust opposition research program against the Rep. House members who have indicated they will investigate the Biden adm. come January. The GOP’s lack of strategic vision and absence of prudent forethought or tactical innovation is allowing the left to erode the very foundations of the U.S.
Reps need generational change, concludes Tom Basile, a former Bush adm. official

The number of tweets mentioning the term “climate scam” have surged following Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, in what one senior U.N. official called an “alarming flood” of environmental misinformation
A recent study by the British and Italian researchers found there was a fourfold increase in “contrarian” rightwing climate conversations on Twitter during the U.N. Cop26 climate talks last year, compared with the same summit held in 2015
#climatescam hashtag was mentioned 23,832 times in November, more than twice as often as in October and 17 times more than in an average month in 2021. Generally speaking, it’s completely unclear why some senior and lower level climate activists are so offended. After all, they haven’t managed to agree on anything useful for the 27th time in a row, and the Twitterians are to blame…

A guy who returned a dazed soldier to the Russians arrested in Ukraine as a collaborator and charged with treason
As a reward for this, Mr. Karamalikov, who saved that pilot, was brought to an interrogation center in Kryvyi Rih, beaten all over his body, cut with sharp objects on his legs and injected with drugs and forced to talk
The Ukrainians have recently clawed back chunks of their territory, like Kherson, which was liberated in mid-November, and almost immediately the hunt was on for collaborators. People are now being judged by the choices they made during very stressful occupied times

He Returned a Dazed Soldier to the Russians. Ukraine Calls It Treason.
No one knew what to do with a lost Russian pilot who suddenly appeared in the occupied city of Kherson. The case has revealed the blurred line between pragmatism in a war zone and collaboration with the enemy.
The British are dissatisfied with the weakness of the once leading European duo (it's just a pity that Europeans don't give a f**k about the opinion of the Brexiters)
But at least a senior fellow at the CEPA, Edward Lucas, cares! And there are two reasons for such a “demarche”: one EU leader who turned out to be incapacitated (this can already be stated with confidence after a year in office), and the other who has stayed too long
Whatever Mr. Scholz says, his ill-judged words reflect a fundamental disconnect between Berlin and most of Eastern Europe, notes Mr. Lucas. For three decades Germany has been a notorious free-rider on def. spending, undermining NATO’s credibility and unity. It dismissed its eastern neighbors’ sec. woes, blocked and diluted their attempts to join the Alliance
And what about Paris? Mr. Macron likes being in the highlight! But the problem here is that French president’s attention-seeking diplomatic gambits are often empty…

The FTSE 100 mining giant, Glencore group is to pay $180 million to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after admitting to years of corruption in the African country between 2007 and 2018
This includes Glencore’s payment of $27.5 million in bribes in the DRC between 2010 and 2013, which it admitted to as part of a plea agreement with the American authorities earlier this year
Glencore has already agreed to pay more than $1 billion in penalties to the U.S. authorities, more than $400 million in Britain and $40 million to the Brazilian authorities this year after pleading guilty to a string of bribery and corruption offences around the world
The agreement with the DRC takes its total payouts over the bribery and corruption investigations to about $1.6 billion. Investigations by the Dutch and Swiss authorities continue and Glencore is also facing lawsuits from investors over losses incurred as a result of the bribery

The services sector of the British economy remained in a downturn last month as new orders continued to fall owing to the cost of living crisis
Services account for the vast majority of economic activity in the U.K., so a slump in the sector adds to fears that the country is heading into a recession. Businesses said that budgets were tightening among both their domestic and foreign clients
Inflation has ripped through the global economy since the Covid-19 pandemic and inept govt actions, putting many of the world’s biggest economies on course for a downturn next year as high prices weaken demand

Mr. Biden’s domestic counterterrorism strategy aimed at rooting out White supremacy harms minority communities and those expressing political dissent, civil rights leaders warn
The activists are calling on the White House to scale back its first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. They say it has resulted in an overly broad definition of “terrorism” and gives federal authorities too much investigative leeway
Human rights advocates demand in particular to stop “broadscale social media surveillance,” rein in the use of fed. govt terrorist watch lists, oppose new domestic terrorism laws and adopt greater safeguards on info-gathering
It has long been no surprise to anyone that driven by govt Big Tech collects all possible personal and financial userdata, but the racial or ethnic motivation of biasing or filtering is probably too much!

Scholz’s utter fiasco: the Zeitenwende plan is an epic fail, inflation skyrockets, NATO’s spending target remains unreachable!
As for the Berlin’s commitment to the NATO, in the current year it would barely reach 1.7% of GDP, stated govt spokesman Steffen Hebestreit. However, Germany could also fall short of the 2% target in the medium to longer term, the analysts suggest. With the previous budget estimates, the NATO quota “could not be met,” the pundits say
Opposition leader Friedrich Merz had accused Scholz’s cabinet of breaking its promises in connection with the announced special fund for the Bundeswehr. He justified that as a result of govt’s actions, the budget would not increase as promised, but on the contrary would decrease by almost €300M
In chess, even strong players usually admit defeat in such cases. But Mr. Scholz, not being a chess player, lost all the games before the tournament even started!

25 people suspected of supporting a domestic terrorist organization that planned to overthrow the govt and form its own state arrested in Germany across 11 federal states
Prosecutors say two other people had been arrested outside Germany, one in Austria and another in Italy. The detainees were reportedly being influenced by the ideologies of the conspiracy group QAnon and a right-wing German conspiracy group called the Reichsbürger, or Citizens of the Reich, which believes that Germany’s post-World War II republic is not a sovereign country but a corporation set up by the Allies who won the war
The suspected allegedly planned to abduct Health Minister Karl Lauterbach while also creating “civil war conditions” to bring about an end to Germany's democracy. Well, let's assume that Germany’s democracy has already absorbed itself thanks to the “brilliant actions” of Mr. Scholz's cabinet, but please tell us someone, who needs Lauterbach and what for?
