With global nuclear stockpiles growing and countries upgrading their warheads and rockets, there is an almost unprecedented need to de-escalate tensions and avert atomic armageddon, one of America's most senior officers has said.

Speaking at a meeting hosted by Washington think-tank The Brookings Institution on Monday, Vice Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General John E. Hyten warned of the risks if conflicts spiral out of control, and expressed hope that cooler heads can prevail. "We never fought the Soviet Union," he said. "As for the great powers, our goal is to never go to war with China and Russia."

According to Hyten, such an event would "destroy the world and the global economy. It will be bad for everyone, and we have to ensure that we do not go down that path." However, the general went on, previous deals between Moscow and NATO after the fall of the USSR concluded "Russia was not a threat any more." At the same time, however, he alleges that the Russians were "modernizing their entire nuclear arsenal." This, he says, was because "I think they were worried about the US."

20 years after 9/11, I no longer recognize my country. The US has become a malignant narcissist, infecting all it encounters

It's said we become stronger in the face of adversity, as the journey back requires a degree of self-reflection that encourages healing. In the two decades after September 11, however, the US has learnt nothing about itself.

I was raised as a military brat - a special category of American youth imbued from an early age with the pride in being part of a collective united by a sense of duty to country and the selflessness of sacrifice when it came to fulfilling that duty. There was no concept of entitlement - everything that came your way was either earned or suffered, based on your actions or the actions of others in your group.

The military brat lived a life where at least one parent, but sometimes both, wore the uniform of one of the branches of the armed forces of the United States of America. In my case, it was my father, who served as an officer in the US Air Force. We moved every year and a half, on average, which meant, from the time I was born until I graduated high school, we packed up our belongings and started a new life somewhere else no fewer than 11 times, and I attended three different high schools: one in Hawaii, one in Turkey, and one in Germany. We learnt to love our country not from some inflated sense of worth, but rather from seeing it as others saw it - the good, the bad, and the ugly, but mainly the good.

UK children will give consent for Covid injection NOT parents, health minister declares all over 12 to be targeted despite advisory body voting AGAINST scheme

vaccine child uk

Public Health England today published of a guide (pictured) to Covid-19 vaccination for children and young people
Fury has erupted tonight after ministers confirmed plans to vaccinate all children over 12 across the UK from next week - with experts and parents warning it may lead to unvaccinated pupils being 'bullied' and could even 'tear families apart'.

Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi confirmed the plans to offer a single Pfizer jab to healthy 12 to 15-year-olds during a speech to the House of Commons tonight.

Comment: One can only hope that coercing children into suffering these experimental vaccines will be the red line for people everywhere:

Israeli spy tech firm infected ALL iPhone devices with 'Pegasus' malware

Digital rights group CitizenLab has discovered a vulnerability that allowed Israeli spyware company NSO Group to implant its Pegasus malware onto virtually every iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch device.

CitizenLab revealed the vulnerability on Monday, a week after discovering it by analyzing the phone of a Saudi activist that had been infected with the malware. The discovery was announced to the public shortly after Apple rolled out an update to patch the vulnerability.

The vulnerability allowed the NSO Group's clients to send malicious files disguised as .gif files to a target's phone, which would then exploit "an integer overflow vulnerability in Apple's image rendering library" and leave the phone open to the installation of NSO Group's now-infamous 'Pegasus' malware.

Comment: We know that various methods of espionage has been ongoing for many years now - the NSA tapping the phones of politicians across the planet is yet another example - and, if we consider the current state of the world and the nonsensical and increasingly draconian rule people suffer under, in this recent hack we can see just one of the ways with which politicians can be made to act in lockstep: The cyber espionage state of Israel

UK's Prince Andrew ignores pretrial hearing in US sex abuse case, says he was served summons incorrectly

Prince Andrew, Duke of York, looks on during the funeral of Prince Philip on the grounds of Windsor Castle in Windsor, Britain, April 17, 2021.
Prince Andrew, the British royal accused of sexual abuse in a lawsuit by one of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims, was not represented at a pretrial hearing in New York, with his lawyers saying he was improperly served papers.

The Duke of York was served legal papers late last month, ahead of a trial in which he is accused of sexual assault, battery and inflicting emotional distress on Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who also claims to have been abused by deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when she was under the age of 18.

The civil case began in New York on Monday with a pretrial hearing. However, court documents filed by Andrew's legal team state that the disgraced prince is contesting the manner in which he was served the court summons, which was handed to police security outside the Royal Lodge in Windsor, England, instead of directly to Andrew by an agent of the crown.

Trump blames Democrats, not Republicans, for vaccine hesitancy

Former US President Donald Trump
Former President Trump is blaming Democrats for the hesitancy of some Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The former president in an interview with Fox News claimed more Americans were interested in getting the COVID-19 vaccine when he was president and accused Democrats of downplaying it.

"If you remember, when I was president, there were literally lines of people wanting to take it," Trump told Fox News. "Now, you have a different situation, and it's very bad."

Comment: When the vaccines were first introduced, people who were deathly afraid and thought the vaccines would save them were lined up around the block to get them. Now that those people have received the vaccines they wanted, the people who are left are the fence-sitters and those who are opposed to taking the shot. Trump should really consider a different tack in coming at the current administration.

Faucist: Fauci supports COVID-19 vax requirements for air travel - Biden administration did not rule it out

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he would support the adoption of vaccine requirements for air travel.
"I would support that if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated," the White House chief medical adviser said in an interview with theSkimm podcast, The Hill reported.

On Friday, White House coronavirus response team coordinator Jeff Zients said the administration is "not taking any measures off the table" when asked if it had "ruled out" ever implementing vaccine or testing requirements for domestic flights.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said later in the day: "We are always looking at more we can do to protect and save lives. Obviously, he made a significant and bold announcement yesterday, so I don't have anything to preview — predict or preview for you, but we'll continue to look for ways to save more lives."

The rising biomedical security state is determined to use Covid to reduce every human being to a QR code

digital documentation
Without fanfare and with hardly a peep from the corporate-owned establishment media, the United Nations World Health Organization, also known as the WHO, issued a document last week that should set off alarm bells for lovers of freedom and liberty everywhere.

The document provides "guidance" for every nation in the world on how to go about implementing digital health passports, which is something Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and other power elites have said since last year would be absolutely essential to conquering the Covid pandemic.

The title alone of the document appears designed to repel the average reader and lull them to sleep: Digital documentation of COVID-19 certificates: vaccination status: technical specifications and implementation guidance.

The WHO is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, or CDC, "to produce a high-value standard for international adoption and technical information exchange." In layman's terms, we're talking about a digital health passport. These passports, as we've covered in depth in previous articles, are meant for no other purpose than to track and trace the movement of people in real time, scooping up data all along the way.

In other words, one of the most basic rights in any free society, the freedom of movement, will be shattered if your city, state or nation follows the advice of the WHO, the World Economic Forum, or any of its tech partners such as Microsoft, IBM, Google, Facebook, etc.

From computers to global genocide - The staggering influence of Bill Gates on Public Health policy around the world

bill gates vaccine

Bill Gates
TrustWHO, a documentary film produced by Lilian Franck, reveals the clandestine influences that are controlling the World Health Organization (WHO) — and that have been since the very beginning. Founded in 1948 by 61 member states whose contributions initially financed the organization, WHO was quickly infiltrated by industry.

From Big Tobacco to the nuclear industry and pharmaceuticals, industry has historically dictated WHO's global agenda and continues to do so in the present day, putting profits and power ahead of public health.

Bill Gates is WHO's No. 1 funder

In April 2020, Donald Trump suspended U.S. funding to WHO while the administration conducted a review into its "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus." This clearly propelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation into the WHO's No.1 funder slot. Upon election, President Joe Biden reversed the Trump administration decision, restoring U.S. funding to WHO.

However, Bill Gates is still the No. 1 funder, contributing more to WHO's $4.84 billion biennial budget than any member-state government. Gates has used his money strategically to infect the international aid agencies with his distorted self-serving priorities. The U.S. historically has been the largest direct donor to WHO.

NP view: Justin Trudeau Liberals pose a direct threat to free speech in Canada

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau
Buried on page 65 of the Liberal platform is a promise to introduce legislation to "combat serious forms of harmful online content." It may seem innocuous enough given its lack of prominence in the document and the fact that most Canadians likely agree that things like terrorist content and child pornography are bad. But in reality, controlling how Canadians interact with each other online is one of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's top priorities. And it poses a direct threat to free speech in this country.

On Nov. 3, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic's second wave, instead of focusing on protecting Canadians, the government was introducing Bill C-10, an act to amend the Broadcasting Act. Again, it sounded pretty innocuous. The bill was ostensibly designed to bring streaming services, such as Netflix, under the purview of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

It was a terrible idea on its own, but initially didn't seem like it would affect most people's lives, because it specifically exempted user-generated content uploaded to social media sites from being subject to regulation. In fact, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault was adamant that, "We're not particularly interested in ... when my great-uncle posts pictures of his cats."

But the bill soon got altered in committee.
