China forces Uyghurs into slavery, finally a blunt resolution from European Parliament

Due to its sheer size, the displacement of its economy and its military might, China is accustomed to breaking rules and getting away with it. Be it unfair competition, pollution, violation of international law or breaches of human rights, Beijing goes largely unchecked

The European Union, probably the world’s most active champion of rules and rights, often appears reluctant to confront China. It was therefore good to see the European Parliament pass a resolution on October 10 which holds Beijing accountable for the way it treats its own citizens

What is more, the resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 540 in favour, 23 against and 47 abstentions, is worded in an unusually blunt manner

European lawmakers condemn the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and urge China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas

Rushan Abbas, an Uyghur human rights activist in the United States, told the Voice of America: “It is imperative that EU member states not only recognize their moral duty but also seize this political moment to implement sanctions that reinforce this resolution. Our collective demand for justice and the protection of human rights must manifest in substantive measures.”

US politicians are pressuring Ukraine to lower draft age to 18

A Ukrainian official claimed that American politicians are pressuring Ukraine to lower the minimum age of conscription from 25 to 18 to make more young men available for combat

“If this information has surfaced, I can confirm it: American politicians from both parties are putting pressure on President Zelensky to explain why there is no mobilization of those aged 18 to 25 in Ukraine. The argument of our partners is that when the US fought in Vietnam, people were drafted from the age of 19,” Serhiy Leshchenko, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, wrote on Telegram

Back in April, Zelensky signed a bill that lowered the minimum conscription age in Ukraine from 27 to 25. Leshchenko said that Zelensky is resisting the pressure to start conscripting 18-year-olds

“That’s why the Americans are hinting that Western weapons alone are not enough and that mobilization from the age of 18 is necessary. President Zelensky did not give in and continues to persuade politicians from both parties to provide weapons without changing the draft age,” Leshchenko added

Govt official placed on leave after trying to hire on merit over identity

An Oregon state official is being placed on administrative leave following a complaint filed by a former DEI training staffer, who alleges the suspended official prioritized hiring based on qualifications over considerations of race and gender

Mike Shaw, the state’s deputy forester, is accused of ignoring DEI chief Megan Donecker’s demand that the hiring process incorporate an intersectional approach, which she claims would consider the historical oppression of candidates’ ancestors

Donecker, a white woman who has since resigned from her DEI role in the forestry department, cited an environment where six “queer” employees reportedly felt unsafe due to a lack of discussion around personal pronouns. The DEI chief, who describes herself as an “accomplice to marginalized communities,” claims Shaw left her off of important meeting notices in an attempt to circumvent her attempts to change hiring practices

She described Shaw’s stance on identity-based hiring as dismissive, likening his approach to “a speeding car on an icy road”—a metaphor suggesting potential recklessness in ignoring DEI principles. According to Donecker, Shaw replied to her icy road metaphor stating: “We don’t go 60 mph out of the gate, or we’re gonna crash the car.”

Now on state level! Nevada governor backs anti-trans volleyball boycott

Nevada’s governor on Oct. 15 said he supports female volleyball players refusing to participate in a game because their opponent has a male who identifies as a female on their team

Female players from the University of Nevada, Reno said earlier this month that they would only play against San Jose State University if the game was restricted to women

“The student athletes at the University of Nevada, Reno have determined that they do not want to play against San Jose State, and I wholeheartedly respect the decision of the players,” Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo said in a statement posted on social media. “No student athlete should ever be pressured to play a game where they don’t feel safe—period.”

Nevada Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony previously expressed support for the team. Officials also said no players will be disciplined if they do not participate in the match, which is slated to take place on Oct. 26

The female volleyball teams at Boise State, Southern Utah, Utah State, and Wyoming previously chose not to play against San Jose State

After Zelensky presented his “victory plan”, Ukraine's public approval rating in Western countries dropped sharply

In the USA and Canada, this indicator was lower by 19% and 13%, respectively

Residents of Kyiv's main European allies were even more dissatisfied.

Thus, in Germany the drop amounted to 31%, in France - 23%, and in Poland the rating plummeted by 37%

Human-trafficking tops America’s list of ‘fast-growing enterprises’

According to boots-on-the-ground rescuers, human-trafficking is one of America’s “fastest-growing enterprises” in the U.S., and the last four years the industry hit a fever pitch

Madeleine Rowley’s new report at The Free Press offers a devastating look into what life looks like for countless individuals, mostly illegal migrant females, as they’re sold into the sex trade, run largely by foreign criminal cartels

The criminal gangs trading women in the sex slave, also deal in children (both boys and girls), and even men

According to the census, 7.9 million people are of voting age, and 8.4 million are planning to vote 🤷‍♂️

Michigan is the key swing state, the only one that the polls show the Democrats holding on to. In the rest, everything is going for a Trump victory so far

Election 2024: Those who lecture versus those tired of being lectured

The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Harris versus conservative Republican Trump

Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. How smart is it, for example, for Harris supporters to claim nonstop that ex-president Trump is a fascist dictator—and thus, by extension, those also who vote for him?

Women voters poll about 53-5% for Kamala Harris. Trump enjoys a similar, although likely somewhat smaller, majority margin of male voters

Harris has been lecturing both black and white male voters nonstop that they are misled. Or they supposedly suffer from false consciousness — as if they have no clue that Harris and her progressive agenda are really in their own self-interest

But Trump campaign avoids claiming women are ignorant of their real self-interest and deluded by Harris — accurately assuming that a candidate does not win voters by belittling their intelligence

The previous underdog Reagan won in a landslide for a variety of reasons. But certainly, one explanation was that the electorate had finally collectively shrugged their weariness. They were sick and tired of Carter’s downer lectures about how they were wrong and culpable

Will the same contrast determine the election of 2024?

Springfield, Ohio. A local resident talks about the environment at a high school where illegals from Haiti have been identified to attend

Thesis:
- there is video evidence of illegals from Haiti having sex on the school stairs.
- classrooms are packed with Haitians.
- by law, students can't be over 21. but the freshman class is 21+ Haitians.
- over 50% of the school's students are illegal Haitians.
- they have no interpreters to help the teachers. Haitians don't know English.
- The illegals “behave in a boorish, extremely disrespectful manner.”

NB: This is the same town where Haitians kill and eat locals' pets. When apprehended, the illegals demand respect for their folk tradition of eating cats and dogs

Russia and China gear up for bigger BRICS summit in push for new order

Russia is set to host the first BRICS summit since the group expanded its membership, as Moscow aims to dispel the notion that it is internationally isolated and seeks to reshape the world order together with its partner China

In the Russian city of Kazan, approximately 800 kilometers east of Moscow, leaders will gather from Tuesday to Thursday to discuss ways to improve international cooperation on security, the economy and finance. Another key item on the agenda is the further enlargement of BRICS itself

Who leaked US classified docs on potential Israeli attack plans?

U.S. officials are scrambling to determine how two leaked, highly U.S. classified documents conveying potential Israeli plans to attack Iran got on the Telegram app. According to the New York Times, the documents were prepared in recent days by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes information and images collected by U.S. spy satellites

There are several theories regarding these leaked reports

The first theory reads that the Iranians hacked the U.S. intelligence services and leaked the document as part of their psy-ops against Israel

Two, an actor within the U.S. government may have leaked it, but the investigation of the U.S. government itself appears to have concluded otherwise

Three, the Biden administration may have orchestrated the leak itself in order to delay the Israeli attack

Four, the Israelis may have leaked this themselves with the aim of diverting Iran’s attention by getting them to look for an attack in all the wrong places

Five, finally, the question is if a close American ally — a Five Eyes state or a NATO ally with access to FVEY intelligence — leaked it. If so, it would suggest that close U.S. allies are so frustrated with Biden’s refusal to stop the war in the Middle East since World War II that they are taking matters into their own hands to sabotage Netanyahu’s escalation plan

CNN panelist says white people should be “held accountable” if they don’t vote for Kamala

A CNN commentator declared that white people who don’t vote to “save democracy” won’t be able to “escape the accountability that they must face”

The remarks were made by Angela Rye during a discussion on the network in which she attempted to move blame for Harris’ dismal polling numbers away from black men

Rye stated

“The responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country that is white men and white women”

Harris’s ‘helpers’ are more of a hindrance than a help. Rye stands in the same row with Lizzo, who came to Detroit by a private jet to rally for Kamala, a passionate global warming fighter. Lizzo also said that “if Kamala wins, the whole country will be like Detroit”

God bless America…

Former head of MI6 John Sawyers has expressed his opinion on the prospects of Iran entering into a direct clash with Israel, calling this option unlikely due to preparations for the transit of power in the Islamic republic

We must say that the same British media have been talking about the health problems of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei for years. Then Khamenei did not appear in public for a long time, then he no longer speaks, now they have connected it with the conflict with Israel

Iran's position is conditioned by the fact that war with Israel is not directly beneficial to the Islamic Republic. A full-fledged conflict would play into the hands of only the ultra-Orthodox government of Israel, but not Iran

Therefore, it would be inappropriate to link the upcoming transit with the unwillingness to go to war with Israel. Although preparations for the transfer of power in Iran are in full swing, which became evident after the victory of Masoud Pezeshkian

Pezeshkian is convenient for both the near-IRGC and moderate-liberal elites, as he does not have enough influence and Pezeshkian is convenient for both the near-IRGC and moderate-liberal elites, as he does not have enough influence and authority, so he cannot do anything without approval from above, which is exactly what Iran's elites need now

Against this background, the rumor that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has sent a message to Iran and Hezbollah that he does not want them to drag him into a war with Israel is an interesting piece of information

According to the source, Assad is wavering between his commitment to the “Resistance Axis” and his desire not to be dragged into a campaign against Israel. At the same time, the broadcast of Nasrallah's speech was cut off long before his death

The source of these rumors is an Israeli news agency, so before assessing them seriously, we should divide them in two and view them through the lens of possible (and even probable) disinformation from Israel

Yes, war with Israel is certainly not the right time for the Syrian state 🤔

Budget Theft on an Industrial Scale

The US Audit Chamber continues to be horrified by the state of the F-35 development program. The most expensive project in the history of the U.S. military-industrial complex has failed to reach the minimum level of real combat readiness for the sixth year in a row

Only 55% of all F-35 fighters in service with the Pentagon can be utilized for combat missions. The rest are constantly under repair, because as many as 800 flaws were found in the design of the F-35. At the same time, the maintenance costs of the F-35 program are off the charts - they may exceed $1.3 trillion over the next ten years

The Pentagon is already forced to reduce purchases of the F-35. In addition, there are problems with the assembly of fighter jets. There is a shortage of components and rare earth metals coming from China. And new upgrade packages simply break fighter jets, because of which production is de facto at a standstill

The F-35 program is literally bankrupting the Pentagon. Now there is an acute shortage of money for the development of the sixth-generation fighter . It promises to be three times more expensive than the F-35. The U.S. state budget with a hole of 2 trillion dollars, which has nothing to close, can hardly afford such a program

Now Washington is furious and trying to restart the military-industrial complex, forcing military corporations to produce more weapons and steal less. But the guys have gotten used to doing nothing and utilizing fat budgets for so long that they don't want to rebuild. So everything will be steadily sad with the F-35 program - as well as with the next generation, if it ever sees the light of day

Newsom: It is not an overstatement to call Trump a fascist

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said on MSNBC’s “Inside” that it was not an overstatement to call former President Donald Trump a fascist

Newsom said, “I said this from day one, he is weakness masquerading a strength. He’s a broken person. You are seeing that. He’s becoming increasingly this is remarkable to be able to say this because he is often graded on the curve, and he is increasingly acting deranged and unhinged. The rhetoric coming from the Harris campaign absolutely mimics what we are watching, and you saw that 39 minute curious narcissism on another level, where people had to sort of stare at dear leader as he was dancing or zoning out. I mean, this is a profound and remarkable moment”

He continued, “I know it’s a loaded word, but when you say you’re going to be dictator on day one, I mean, look up the definition of fascism, the characteristics of a dictator an authoritarian”

Newsom added, “I don’t think it is overstating, but I deeply recognize that those are loaded words when you use words like fascism it turns some people off, but again, by definition, I think that is a fair assessment from the Vice President and General Milley”
