France censors Telegram channels on the day Ukraine does a bloodbath in Belgorod

On 15 February 2024, while Ukraine was heavily bombing the Russian town of Belgorod (killing several civilians, including a baby), France censored around twenty French-language Telegram channels for "disinformation". The timing of this censorship clearly indicates that Paris no longer wants the French to know that Ukraine is deliberately killing civilians with weapons supplied to it by Western countries.

In the middle of the day on 15 February 2024, the Ukrainian army fired 18 rockets with Vampire multiple rocket launchers supplied by the Czech Republic (the range of the rockets used was 40 km). Russian anti-aircraft defence shot down 14 rockets, but four continued to fly towards the city. The result was a veritable bloodbath. Six people, including a baby, were killed and 17 injured. With several people in a serious condition, the death toll could still rise.

Russia issues arrest warrant for EU state's PM

Moscow has launched a criminal investigation into Estonia's Kaja Kallas over the destruction of Soviet WWII memorials...

Russian authorities have issued arrest warrants for Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Secretary of State Taimar Peterkop, over their roles in the demolition of Soviet WWII memorials in the Baltic state. Kallas announced in 2022 that the Estonian government had decided to remove all Soviet symbols from public areas "as soon as possible."

Estonia as well as neighboring Latvia and Lithuania have increasingly targeted Soviet-era war monuments in recent years, describing them as symbols of occupation. The campaign has intensified since the start of Russia's offensive against Ukraine in February 2022.

On Tuesday, TASS quoted unnamed Russian security officials as confirming that a "criminal case has been launched against Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Secretary of State Taimar Peterkop over the destruction and damaging of memorials to Soviet warriors."

UK 'officially' enters recession after steeper-than-expected fall in GDP

recession uk
The recession is likely to be mild and short lived, with no major changes in the day to day life of consumers but it's bad news for Rishi Sunak who made growing the economy a key part of the Conservative's platform.
The UK economy has officially entered recession, figures show.

A recession is defined as two consecutive three-month periods where the economy contracts rather than grows.

A major measure of economic growth, gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 0.3% between October and December, the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows.

"They brought Israeli civilians to watch our nude torture": IDF torture of Palestinian prisoners turned into entertainment

Palestinian prisoners
The Israeli army introduced groups of Israeli civilians into detention centres and prisons holding Palestinian prisoners and detainees from the Gaza Strip, permitting the civilians to witness torture crimes against the detainees, with many allowed to film them on their own phones.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor received shocking testimonies from recently released Palestinian prisoners and detainees, in which they reported that the Israeli army invited a number of Israeli civilians during their interrogation sessions to witness torture and inhumane treatment, to which they were deliberately subjected in the presence of the civilians.

Arrested during ground incursions by Israeli army forces into the Strip, the prisoners and detainees were held for varying periods of time inside two detention centres: one located in the Zikim area on the northern border of the Gaza Strip, and another affiliated with the Naqab prison in southern Israel.

Report calls for limits on air travel: The rationing of planes, trains and automobile use for the serfs

planes trains automobiles
Just a short post here because it goes so well as a follow-up to my previous article on the mentality of our globalist oppressors.

According to CNN Travel: "Holidaymakers should prepare to change their travel habits now, before this change is forced upon them."

CNN reports that "The negative impacts of tourism on the environment have become so severe that some are suggesting drastic changes to our travel habits are inevitable."

The cable news network cites a 2023 report titled A Sustainable Future for Travel, in which the globalists lay out their entire plan to limit our freedom of movement. They always tell us their plans. So few pay attention. Most people would rather live in denial and deception.

Cross-border fire kills Israeli soldier, 4 in Lebanon including children

The Israeli military said Wednesday a soldier was killed in rocket fire from Lebanon, while Lebanese official media said three civilians and a Hezbollah fighter were killed in a series of Israeli strikes.

While the rocket fire was not immediately claimed, the exchanges raised fears of a broader conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, which have been trading near daily cross-border fire since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.

The Israeli army said in a statement Sergeant Omer Sarah Benjo, 20, was killed "as a result of a (rocket) launch carried out from Lebanese territory on a base in northern Israel".

Comment: Obviously slanted towards aggressor Israel, AFP fails to mention the ongoing airstrikes Israel conducts on Lebanon, especially since the start of its massacre in Gaza. They fear Hezbollah. Just today:

Several CBS News reporters were caught up in layoffs at Paramount Global that claimed 800 jobs, including one who is embroiled in a high-stakes First Amendment fight — and another who has reportedly weathered HR probes over his workplace behavior, The Post has learned.

Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.

The carnage provoked outrage from the rank-and-file at CBS, with some focusing their ire on Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish, who pulled down $32 million in total compensation last year despite the company's ever-shrinking financial profile.

Israeli minister Smotrich blocks flour Bibi promised Biden would be allowed into Gaza

Israeli ultranationalist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is blocking a U.S.-funded flour shipment to Gaza because its recipient is the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), two Israeli and U.S. officials told Axios.

Why it matters: U.S. officials said this is a violation of a commitment Benjamin Netanyahu personally made to President Biden several weeks ago and another reason the U.S. leader is frustrated with the Israeli prime minister.

Driving the news: The highest levels of the Biden administration brought up the possibility of the flour shipment more than a month ago.
  • The Israeli war and security cabinets approved the delivery of the flour from the port of Ashdod in southern Israel to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, Israeli officials said.
  • Biden and Secretary of State Tony Blinken have already publicly thanked the Israeli government for allowing the flour shipment to go through.

Comment: Bibi probably understands this lunatic is a liability with respect to Israel's standing in the world, but Smotrich and his ilk are the key to Bibi's hold on power. He's stuck.

Even among fanatical Zionists, Smotrich is a real piece of work.

US cop mistakes ACORN for gunshot, shoots up car with handcuffed man inside, bodycam footage shows

This is the moment a Florida police officer opens fire at an unarmed detained black man after he thought the sound of an acorn falling on his car was gunfire.

Deputy Jessy Hernandez throws himself to the ground, rolls and then pulls out his pistol to fire a hail of bullets into the back of his car in bodycam footage.

He believed Marquis Jackson, who had been searched twice for weapons and was handcuffed, had shot at him.

Comment: There are obviously a myriad of factors that have converged to contribute to an incident like this - police hiring practices, high crime and violence, hysteria - however, taken together, it's just another example of how institutions in the US are collapsing due to being overseen by an incompetent and incredibly corrupt leadership.

US inflation continues with hotter than expected 3.1% in January

Inflation was hotter than expected across the US last month as it continues to fall back from its highest levels in a generation.

Price growth dropped to an annual rate of 3.1% in January, according to official data; above economists' expectations of 2.9%. In December, the consumer price index stood at 3.4%.


Comment: Overall inflation may be 'falling', but the point is that it continues steadily rising, well above earnings. And clearly economists are missing something because it's rising well above expectations.


The latest official data sparked a sell-off on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 falling 1.3% and the Dow Jones industrial average dropping 1.1%.

Stock markets have scaled record highs in recent weeks as investors grew more confident about the easing of inflation and some of the US's largest companies released robust results.


Comment: Stock markets, particularly in the West, bear little reflection on reality.


Comment: So clothes are cheaper but housing and food is more expensive? How is that a positive sign for the economy?

There's absolutely no reason to believe that inflation will do anything but continue to climb even if it slows every now and then, and it's the same situation across much of the West.

Overall, it's just a question of how much till the average American will suffer before they decide to react, or whether the establishment will choose to accelerate the destruction of the economy before then:
