Jelena Djokovic, the wife of 21-time Grand Slam winner Novak, has hit out at Racquet Magazine for penning an editorial piece critical of her husband's vaccine stance as the Serbian star looks increasingly likely to miss out on this month's US Open.

Djokovic appears almost certain to be absent for what would be a second Grand Slam event of the year, this time due to US rules forbidding unvaccinated non-citizens from entering the country.

In January, Djokovic was deported from Australia in a row over vaccine rules, in an incident which sparked a mini international incident between Australia and Serbia.

An Ottawa police officer is facing misconduct charges for allegedly inserting herself into child death investigations looking for connections to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Investigators with the Ottawa Police Service's professional standards unit allege Const. Helen Grus committed discreditable conduct when she took on a private investigative project to find the vaccination status of parents whose infants or children had died.

Supply chain problems will persist because the system is being sabotaged

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the executive vice president of UPS asserted that "regionalization" of the supply chain is critical to economic stability as geopolitcal conflicts expand. The word "regionalization" is basically a code word to describe decentralization, a concept which the UPS representative obviously did not want to dive into directly. Almost every trade expert and industry insider is admitting that supply chain problems are going to persist into the foreseeable future, and some are starting to also admit (in a roundabout way) that localized production and trade models are the key to survival.

This is something that I and many other alternative economists have been talking about for a decade or more. The globalist dynamic of interdependency is a disaster waiting to happen, and now it's happening. Without decentralized mining of raw materials, local manufacturing, locally sourced goods, local food production and locally integrated trade networks there can be no true stability. All it takes for the system to implode is one or two crisis events and the economy's ability to meet public demand stagnates. The system doesn't completely stop, but it does slowly shrivel and degrade.

UK gov't plans for blackouts, gas cuts, doubling of energy costs, come January

The UK is planning for several days over the winter when cold weather may combine with gas shortages, leading to organized blackouts for industry and even households.

Under the government's latest "reasonable worst-case scenario," Britain could face an electricity capacity shortfall totaling about a sixth of peak demand, even after emergency coal plants have been fired up, according to people familiar with the government's planning.

Under that outlook, below-average temperatures and reduced electricity imports from Norway and France could expose four days in January when the UK may need to trigger emergency measures to conserve gas, they said. The government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Too much truth? CBS partially retracts documentary about Ukraine war and missing military weapons

CBS issued a partial retraction Monday after a documentary aired suggesting the bulk of weapons sent to Ukraine fails to reach the front lines.

"We removed a tweet promoting our recent doc, 'Arming Ukraine,' which quoted the founder of the nonprofit Blue-Yellow, Jonas Ohman's assessment in late April that only around 30% of aid reached the front lines in Ukraine," CBS stated in a tweet. The news outlet added a similarly worded "editor's note" to the top of its written coverage of the documentary.

Ohman cited numerous logistical challenges in the delivery of needed equipment, CBS noted. Quotes from other figures in the documentary who are involved in the provision of Ukraine-bound supplies alluded to corruption and a lack of accountability of U.S. aid, CBS reported.

Comment: How can anyone believe that with such a geyser of weaponry being directed at a corrupt country like Ukraine, that some (or most) inventory would find its way on to the black market?

Great reset: Amsterdam's Airport becomes world's first to cap flights in its bid to cut pollution

The Netherlands' Schiphol airport has become the first in the world to cut the number of flights by 12 per cent in its bid to reduce pollution and make the industry and aviation more sustainable.

The decision has been taken by the country's government cabinet and the same has been made known to the House of Representatives through a letter signed by the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

"Minister Harbers informs the House of Representatives about the cabinet's decision to reduce the maximum number of permitted aircraft movements to and from Schiphol to 440,000 per year. This instead of the 500,000 aircraft movements from the draft Airport Traffic Decree (LVB)," the government notes in a statement published alongside the letter sent to the House of Representatives.

Comment: If the elites had it their way the plebs wouldn't be allowed to fly or drive, they'd be on a nutritious diet of bugs and beyond burgers, jabbed up the wazoo, and taking cold showers, all while clapping for the NHS and shouting "Take that Putin". See also:

The Navy wants to help pay off student debt to get new recruits

Money talks. In a time of inflation and a competitive job market, the military has been trying to entice people to enlist or reenlist in the armed forces to meet service goals.

The latest to get into the mix is the Navy. According to a service memo released on Thursday, Aug. 4, the service branch is offering an enlistment bonus of $50,000 to future sailors and any Navy veteran or other service veteran who signs up for the Navy. After all, what's more enticing than money upfront? Well it's 2022 and student loan debt is a major issue weighing on people. The Navy's other new incentive is a loan repayment program, with a maximum of $65,000.

There's a catch. In fact there are several. Anyone interested in qualifying must be ready to ship out by the end of September. For any veterans of the Navy or other service branch, they must also reenter active duty at a pay grade at or below E-4, and also must not have received an enlistment bonus in their first time serving. So it's a limited window. But by the memo's own admission, this is an effort to quickly get trained and ready sailors into the Navy to maintain and "ensure Fleet readiness."

Comment: Sell your soul to pay the bills...sounds about right, doesn't it?

Not just the Dutch: Farmers everywhere fight for survival against climate change activism

The most efficient system in history of growing food and getting it to consumers, modern farming, is under attack, blamed for causing climate change.

Dutch Government to Farmers: Reduce Your Operations by Up to 95 Percent

The world has watched as Dutch farmers fight for their economic survival against demands that they shrink their operations to suit the government's climate change agenda. The Dutch government has told farmers to cut ammonia emissions by 50 percent, and those near protected areas must reduce their operations by as much as 95 percent, or they must sell their land to the government and face a lifetime ban from farming.

Dutch Farmers have responded by spraying government buildings with manure while Dutch police shot at a 16-year-old boy at a demonstration.

Jos Ubels, Vice President of the Farmer's Defense Force in the Netherlands, says negotiations are not going anywhere and a bad situation is continuing to escalate.

"We are fighting for our right to produce and to live as a human being in our country," Ubels said, "in a democracy where we have the right to go on the street to protest against legislation, and we have the right to produce, via our permits."

The climate cult is eager to take advantage of Europe's energy crisis

climate cult
The climate cult never sleeps, and when they see nations in crisis they are always quick to try to exploit the situation by misrepresenting the root problem.

A heat wave is currently hitting Europe along with wild fires and the mainstream media is beating the global warming drum hard. This is nothing new; every time the weather gets hot they cry "climate change!" Every time the weather is extra cold they once again cry "climate change!" The evidence? What about the "record heat" in parts of UK, Spain and Portugal? This is surely proof that the weather is being ruined by that terrible menace known as man-made carbon?

Of course, what they don't tell you is that the official record for weather and temperatures used by climate scientists only goes back about 140 years (it started in the 1880s). So, millions upon millions of years of Earth weather, and they only count 140 years of it to determine "record temps?" They tend to ignore ice core and tree ring data from centuries ago that indicate much hotter warming periods in our planet's history (none of which were caused by man-made carbon emissions). In comparison, today's temperatures are rather tame.

Comment: While the article is true on most points, what it leaves out is that a form of climate change is on the horizon - but due to completely different causes and outcomes as those propagated by corrupted scientists, politicians and media:

Entertainment companies start dumping woke content as viewership tumbles

They'll never admit to it openly, but getting woke makes companies broke. Hollywood has been overtly progressive for decades, but this is nothing compared to the social justice invasion since 2016. After around five years of an unprecedented leftist onslaught on the entertainment industry we are finally starting to see the rampage lose oxygen. There's a weakness within woke productions that the alternative media has been pointing out for a long time - They don't make a profit because they are designed to appease a minority of leftist zennials that don't have any money. This is the wrong crowd to rely on for cash flow.

It is fair to say that the entertainment industry was partially conned. First, there are those tantalizing ESG loans that can be easily had as long a company loudly declares their fealty to the social justice agenda. Then, of course, there is the fact that many corporate CEOs and marketing people track Twitter trends with the ignorant assumption that Twitter is actually a reflection of the real world. The woke mob on Twitter is amplified by the company itself, while most contrary voices are stifled and buried. Anyone using the Twitter echo chamber as a marketing gauge would be led to believe that leftist ideology is the prevailing ideology of the nation. It's not even close.

Comment: That last line is a little pessimistic. There's a gaping hole in the quality media programming world that is just waiting to be filled. It's likely that customers are so starved for quality content at this point, they're not going to care which company is bringing it to them and what they previously produced.
