Attacks and raids by occupation forces are daily, often lethal occurrences.

PERSPECTIVE

Regardless of the topic, the tactic of throwing out mutually contradictory “versions” always seemed to work for the debate’s predetermined winners: 

The novel coronavirus was an American bioweapon genetically modified to infect only people of “Mongoloid” ethnicity, and the US was failing to cope with wave after wave of COVID-19 infections at home. 

Minneapolis police officers were sadist pigs, and peaceful protesters against police violence were destroying America. 

The GOP sets a different pace when it comes to Supreme Court nominations.

President Biden on Monday appeared to confirm that Russia used a hypersonic missile in Ukraine over the weekend. Russia’s Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it used a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missile in a strike that targeted a Ukrainian weapons depot.

WNBA star Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February after arriving at a Moscow airport reportedly with an oil derived from cannabis, which was treated as a violation of the country’s strict anti-drug laws, and could carry a maximum penalty of up to a decade in prison.

The US Embassy in Moscow has stepped up its pressure on the Russian government in the last days, demanding that Griner and a couple other Americans detained in Russia get the standard consular access.

Monday’s devastating crash of a Boeing 737 operated by China Eastern Airlines has gripped the US aviation industry (aka Boeing) in what’s shaping up to be another major scandal barely a year after the plane manufacturer had finally managed to move beyond the disastrous rollout of the 737 MAX 8, which left hundreds dead as a design flaw led to two crashes, one in Ethiopia and the other in Indonesia.

Apparently not content with diplomatic war on one front with Russia, the Biden administration appears ready to escalate with China following on the heels of last week’s persistent accusations that Beijing was mulling cooperation with Moscow on weapons resupplies for its Ukraine operation, as well as assistance on Western sanctions evasion.

Nigeria, the most populous country in OPEC, can produce up to 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, according to the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

At a moment Russian forces are believed to be on the cusp of taking the major southeast city of Mariupol, after the Ukrainians rejected the Kremlin’s terms of surrender for the city, a fresh statement from the Russian side has yet again cited “no significant progress” in ceasefire talks, while stating Moscow is not ready for a proposed meeting with Zelensky.

With China refusing to bend the knee to Washington’s “denounce Putin” demands, it appears the Biden administration’s narrative that the world is united against Russia is creaking at the seams as Bloomberg reports that cheap Russian Urals crude is finding willing buyers in India.

And why wouldn’t they… With Urals Crude trading at a stunning $30 discount to Brent, who can blame India for snapping it up.

Greater escalation is in the air as two nuclear-armed superpowers continue stumbling toward a hugely alarming WWIII scenario as the Russian invasion of Ukraine reaches almost a full month. The Wall Street Journal on Monday has cited US defense officials who say Washington is covertly sending Soviet-made air defense equipment to Ukraine to help repel Russian air power. It seems this is the Biden administration’s ‘alternative’ to directly imposing a no-fly zone, yet it’s still a step in that direction.

Luckily for us, we do not need to be mind-readers or fortune tellers to know what the globalists are preparing for our dystopian future. We simply have to read their documents. And boy, have they released some real doozies in the past month: three documents that lay out a precise timeline and an overview of what they're hoping to achieve and how they're hoping to achieve it.

Last week, after British online newspaper The Independent published a scathing op-ed piece about comedian Russell Brand, Elon Musk took to Twitter to defend the standup comedian and offer his thoughts on the mainstream media.

The exchange started when The Independent took a swipe at Brand, who has been gaining popularity online, namely for avoiding groupthink while discussing current events and politics.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that he’s “ready for negotiations” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but that if they break down, it will lead to World War III.

“I’m ready for negotiations with him. I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war,” Zelensky told CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria.

Dear Norm:

On Saturday a high-ranking Chinese government official lashed out at the West’s sanctions regimen against Russia in the wake of the Ukraine invasion, blasting the far-reaching punitive measures which have also served to severely isolate Moscow as increasingly “outrageous”.

 – OPINION –

Russia said it fired a hypersonic aero-ballistic air-to-ground missile for the first time in the three-week invasion of Ukraine, destroying a weapons bunker in the southwestern region of the country, according to Bloomberg.

Pour cette chronique économique, l’économiste Frédéric Farah nous parle du fonctionnement des taux de change entre les différentes monnaies qui s’affrontent sur le marché international. Ce mécanisme, à l’origine d’un système monétaire complexe dans lequel les devises sont devenues des marchandises et des produits spéculatifs à part entière, a des implications très fortes dans nos rapports de force économiques et donc, par extension, dans la bonne santé économique de notre pays. C’est pourquoi il est primordial d’en comprendre le fonctionnement !

On Friday, Jakob Kern, an emergency coordinator at the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme (WFP), warned Ukraine’s food supply chains were collapsing as Russia bombed key infrastructures such as roads, bridges, and trains.

“The country’s food supply chain is falling apart. Movements of goods have slowed down due to insecurity and the reluctance of drivers,” Kern told a Geneva during a video conference from Krakow, Poland.

Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren said Friday that the Netherlands is sending a Patriot missile defense system to Slovakia and that Germany is also sending two Patriot systems as NATO looks to bolster its forces near Ukraine.

Russia on Friday said that any weapons shipments entering Ukraine would be considered “legitimate targets” as the US is working with its NATO allies to send more arms into the warzone.

TBILISI, GEORGIA — On February 24, the evening Russia invaded Ukraine, a few thousand locals gathered in front of the Georgian parliament in Tbilisi to protest. Among them were several dozen Russians. You knew at a glance they were Russian, because the signs they held said so. “I’m Russian,” one read (in English). “Sorry for that.”

Did Russia’s President Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine to distract attention from his own political weakness at home? Sure, he was unhappy about NATO and obsessed with restoring the glory of the Russian empire. But the timing of this war and Putin’s expectation of a quick victory may be rooted in his own domestic political failures.

On Thursday, Lithuania’s parliament unanimously passed a resolution urging for a no-fly zone over Ukraine, joining its fellow Baltic state Estonia in calling for the action, which would require shooting down Russian planes and bombing anti-aircraft missiles inside Russia.

The Lithuanian resolution “urges the United Nations to take immediate action to secure a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stop mass civilian deaths.”

The world’s top-ranked tennis player, Daniil Medvedev, could be banned from playing at Wimbledon unless he offers “assurances” that he isn’t a supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

China has issued a full response to the US regarding recent allegations related to the Ukraine war in a new Washington Post op-ed. China’s ambassador to the US blasted as total “disinformation” the White House charge that Beijing is poised to answer positively Moscow’s request for military assistance in Ukraine. Jake Sullivan had warned the China delegation in Rome that severe “consequences” would follow any Moscow-Beijing cooperation regarding Ukraine.

“They don’t know what to do with me.”

Linda Hurst was referring to the doctors she has seen to find relief from the illness she has struggled with daily, almost two years after testing positive for COVID-19. “It put me down,” she said.

CIA paramilitaries had been training Ukrainian forces on the frontlines of the Donbas war against Russian-backed separatists since 2014 and were only pulled out by the Biden administration last month, Yahoo News reported on Wednesday, citing former US officials.

The past two days saw reports of “progress made” in ongoing Ukraine-Russia ceasefire talks, but a Kremlin spokesman shot that down as “wrong” while still affirming that discussions are continuing Thursday.

Wednesday afternoon saw for the first time President Biden when asked by a reporter call Vladimir Putin a “war criminal”. Peskov weighed in on the provocative words, saying this characterization was “unforgivable”. And according to Bloomberg:

Not a day goes by without a prominent Republican warning that “radical” Democrats are seeking to transform the United States with their “woke,” “socialist,” or “communist” ideas. However, a new study on polarization in Congress shows that, while both parties are getting more extreme, it is the GOP that has shifted much more sharply to the edge than congressional Democrats have. 

Des données récentes du gouvernement américain mettant en évidence la croissance rapide des concentrations de méthane dans l’atmosphère au cours des dernières années inquiètent de plus en plus certains scientifiques, qui craignent que la crise climatique causée par l’homme n’ait activé une boucle de rétroaction hostile, qui pourrait entraîner un réchauffement planétaire irréversible.

Russia’s central bank announced that it will suspend purchases of gold from banks due to overwhelming demand from households, Reuters reports. The purchasing pause will take effect Tuesday with no end date set.

“Currently, households’ demand for buying physical gold in bars has increased, driven, in particular, by the abolition of value-added tax on these operations,” reads a statement from the central bank.

This story by Sara Sax originally appeared in High Country News and is republished here as part of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism collaboration strengthening coverage of the climate story.

One of the core staples of the past 40 years, and an anchor propping up the dollar’s reserve status, was a global financial system based on the petrodollar – this was a world in which oil producers would sell their product to the US (and the rest of the world) for dollars, which they would then recycle the proceeds in dollar-denominated assets and while investing in dollar-denominated markets, explicitly prop up the USD as the world reserve currency, and in the process backstop the standing of the US as the world’s undisputed financial superpower.

Those days are coming to an end.

A leaked March 3 memo revealed this week that the Kremlin instructed Russian media outlets to “use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson.” Carlson is the only Western “journalist” mentioned by name.
