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

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?

It looks like the U.S. doesn’t want to give up trying to force its “backyard” countries on their knees again

Despite the mass riots raging since March due to skyrocketing inflation, econ. stagnation and discontent with Western countries meddling in the war in Ukraine, Peru’s prosecutor’s office backed by the opposition is making every effort to oust President Pedro Castillo accusing him of corruption

In a last-ditch effort Castillo appealed to the Organization of American States (OAS) to enforce the democratic charter in order to prevent the downfall of democracy in Peru. Since the OAS is located in Washington D.C. its response was immediate and expected. The Organization called on the parties to resort to dialogue and promised to issue a report on the matter

This report is due to come out in a week or two but obviously it won’t be in Castillo’s favor. In fact, it was Mr. Castillo himself who let a wolf in sheep’s clothing into his house! As requested democracy in action!

King Charles had an egg thrown at him for the second time in a month

Of course, His Majesty appeared untroubled and resumed shaking hands with members of the public after he moved to a different area, but we bear in mind that the third time would create the conditions for the British Monarch to go shopping for a saddle

The U.S. intends to take maximum advantage of increasing contradictions between Berlin and Paris

The alienation between Germany and France is worsening due to different approaches of their leaders toward how to tackle accumulating problems of bilateral and European agendas. What once seemed like a strong core European alliance is falling apart now

So Berlin is planning to spend a greater part of the €100B Bundeswehr modernization fund to purchase only U.S. or Israeli armaments. Germany will launch the European Sky Shield Initiative in cooperation with 14 other NATO countries, but not with France. As Charles de Gaulle predicted, in time of a crisis Germany would always unite with the U.S. rather than with its European neighbors

Indeed, Washington takes overt actions to alienate Germany from European projects thus weakening the EU

EU authorities have ruled that Meta shouldn’t require users to agree to personalized ads based on their online activity

he new European decisions can be appealed, which could lead to their being suspended pending potentially lengthy litigation. If upheld, though, they could make it harder for Meta and other platforms to show users ads based on what they tap and watch within those platforms’ own apps

“This is not the final decision, and it is too early to speculate,” a Meta spokesman said. “We’ve engaged fully with the DPC on their inquiries and will continue to engage with them as they finalize their decision.”

In any case, the precedent itself is just another small step to keep the end user from the endless surveillance by Big Brother

The U.S. threw out “toxic garbage” from its backyard with no regret

Barely a week has passed between the last attempt of the now former Peruvian president to catch at a straw in form of the OAS and Washington's strong-willed decision to finally overthrow him. The U.S. govt was Johnny-on-the-spot to welcome the appointment of Dina Boluarte who replaced Pedro Castillo and became the first female leader of Peru

Mr. Castillo was ousted from power and under arrest after he announced the dissolution of Congress and the installation of an emergency government. His supporters have been rallying in the streets of Lima, stating that their President has heeded to the will of the Peruvian people and that he should have completed his term

Despite the “vox populi”, the police brutally dispersed the protesters, since the security officials took the side of the Congress
