On Monday Cuba made official its entry into the Energy Partnership of China's Belt and Road initiative, a call to build an international mega-platform for cooperation and exchanges under the principle of shared profit.

The island's ambassador to Beijing, Carlos Miguel Pereira, stressed the importance of the group to expand and diversify collaboration in that sector and collectively overcome the challenges it faces worldwide.

He also ratified the commitment of the Caribbean nation to contribute to sustainable progress. He invited Chinese companies and institutions and the rest of the members to work in fields such as promoting green energy and inclusive access to energy services.

Comment: The discussion may involve 'green projects' but, unlike the West's dystopian Great Reset scheme, the BRI won't prioritise an as yet unattainable green agenda above the livelihoods of its citizens and its likely that this energy partnership will involve much more conventional and reliable energy sources: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: World on the Brink - Mass Acceptance of Tyranny Augurs Doom

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain expel Lebanese ambassadors - Hezbollah MP claims it's revenge for failed war on Yemen

Amid a diplomatic dispute with Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, a Lebanese lawmaker says the country that failed in its war on Yemen is now planning to take revenge against Lebanon over its support for the oppressed Yemeni people during the devastating military aggression.

Mohammad Raad, the head of Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc — the political wing of the Hezbollah resistance movement — in the Lebanese parliament, made the remarks on Saturday, as tensions have been running high between Beirut and Persian Gulf states over the Saudi-led military campaign on Yemen.

Now is the time to look much more closely at The Great Reset, a fake Utopia being sold to us by charlatans

As we exit the pandemic, expect to hear much more about The Great Reset and building back better. Far from resulting in a low-carbon dream life, though, it's a cartoonish fantasy that will hand the global elite even more power.

'The Great Reset' is a term that has been bandied about quite readily by most Western neo-liberal politicians. So often, in fact, and without proper explanation, that it strikes the prudent observer as a kind of paid advertisement.

But what is it exactly? The term rose to prominence at the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in June 2020. It was initially launched by the Prince of Wales, before being absorbed into the philosophy of the sartorially dystopian sci-fi villain Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF.

Comment: It's notable that as Eurasia's Belt and Road Initiative gains traction, along comes the West's own warped offering, however, unlike the BRI, membership in the Great Reset doesn't appear to be optional nor is there room for sovereignty or individual autonomy, and there appears to be a matter of urgency in its enforcement: Also check out SOTT radio's:

Best of the Web: Human civilization could 'collapse' like Roman Empire if climate change not addressed, UK PM Boris Johnson warns

Modern countries risk repeating the fate of the Roman Empire unless they urgently curb climate change, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned ahead of a major UN summit.

"This is our memento mori," Johnson told Italian paper la Repubblica during a flight to a G20 meeting in Rome, Italy, using a Latin phrase meaning, 'Remember that you will die'. The event takes place ahead of a major UN climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, known as COP26.

Rome and its marvelous ruins are a perfect place for G20 and COP26, which begins on Sunday. They remind us that if we don't address climate change, an extraordinary civilization can collapse at a terrifying pace. It's not a far-fetched comparison.

Comment: Here's the interview segment UK Channel 4 published:

Some rhetoric! Especially coming from someone who knows full well that we're on the cusp of a naturally-caused ice age.

It's rather ironic that old Boris is using the analogy of the fall of the Roman Empire, which undoubtedly had more to do with the hubris of leadership than the actions (or inaction) of the populace. It's likely this irony is completely lost on him.

Barrett, Kavanaugh lead Supreme Court in denying relief to religious Maine healthcare workers objecting to Covid vaccine mandate

The US Supreme Court has rejected by a vote of 6-3 the motion by Maine healthcare workers to block the state's Covid-19 vaccination mandate on religious freedom grounds. Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas were the dissenters.

The majority position was written by Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh - appointed by former President Donald Trump - who argued that the request came to the court on a "shadow docket" and that "discretionary consideration" allowed the court to reject such a case.


Comment: Vax mandate lawsuits are proving rather efficient at revealing who's on which side. Makes one wonder if any conservatives out there are wishing they hadn't spent so much energy on the Coney Barrett and Kavanagh controversies.

'Them and us': Vaccine passport rules for public but not world leaders at COP26 spark outrage over dual Covid standards

The COP26 UN Climate Change Conference has been accused of holding world leaders to different Covid-19 standards than the general public after its rules revealed vaccine passports are only mandatory for normal ticket holders.

Social media users pointed out on Saturday - just one day before the conference in Glasgow, Scotland - that those who will be attending COP26's public Green Zone events will be required to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination.

"In accordance with Scottish Law, COVID-19 vaccine passports are needed by all visitors to the Green Zone aged over 18 (unless exempt)," the official COP26 website declared, adding that attendees will need to "show that they have been fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to the date of entry."

Comment: Remember - Covid rules and vaccine mandates are for the rabble, not for the elites. Keeping this in mind will help to calm down any feelings of injustice and outrage you may be feeling and make your stay on this planet during the 'pandemic' more stress-free and enjoyable.

Best of the Web: Don't, won't or can't? US intelligence agencies 'do not expect to determine the origins of Covid-19'


Comment: Because they have something to hide?...

US intelligence agencies say it is unlikely they will ever be able to conclude whether Covid-19 spread by animal-to-human transmission or leaked from a lab.

The paper issued by the Director of National Intelligence elaborates on findings released in August of a 90-day review ordered by President Joe Biden.

That review said that US intelligence agencies were divided on the origins of the virus but that analysts do not believe the virus was developed as a bioweapon and that most agencies believe the virus was not genetically engineered.

The U.S. government's Afghanistan watchdog on Friday slammed the State Department and Pentagon for withholding what he said was crucial information about U.S. operations during the 20-year war.

Why it matters

The details "almost certainly would have benefited Congress and the public in assessing whether progress was being made," Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko said at an annual conference for military reporters and editors in Arlington, Virginia.

Social media piles on the humiliation as Lincoln Project roasted for orchestrating viral hoax to smear Youngkin: 'Deranged hacks'

lincoln project tiki torches youngkin stunt
© REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstA small group of demonstrators dressed as "Unite the Right" rally-goers with tiki torches stand on a sidewalk as Republican candidate for governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin arrives on his bus for a campaign event at a Mexican restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S. October 29, 2021.
The disgraced anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project is facing intense backlash for orchestrating the viral hoax involving tiki torch-holding individuals associating themselves with the Youngkin campaign.

Twitter was set ablaze after images of a group wearing white shirts, khakis, baseball caps and sunglasses stood alongside the campaign bus of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin reportedly vocal expressing support for the Republican, according to local NBC affiliate anchor Elizabeth Holmes.

The imagery of the tiki torches was apparently meant to invoke the white nationalists who participated in the deadly events of Charlottesville in 2017.

The stunt was seized upon by the left, including staffers from Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe's campaign.

Comment: One might suppose this may also have something to do with McAuliffe's precipitous drop in Virginia polling:

Best of the Web: The freak-out over Tucker Carlson's January 6 documentary begins

Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night played a brief trailer for his three-part documentary looking at the events of January 6. "Patriot Purge" will premiere on Fox Nation, the network's streaming service, on November 1.

Clips hint that the film compares the prosecution of Capitol protesters and anyone associated with the events of January 6 to the initial war on terror, a wholly legitimate comparison that my reporting confirms. For example, as I explained in April, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines issued a report earlier this year warning "domestic violent extremists" pose a heightened threat to the nation. Not one for subtlety, Haines included a sketch of the U.S. Capitol in the document; House Republicans at the time blasted Haines for working outside her legal authority — the intelligence community is supposed to hunt foreign terrorists, not MAGA-supporting meemaws — to target American citizens.

Comment: Running scared? Inconvenient truths? ADL begs Fox News to yank Tucker Carlson's Jan 6 documentary before it airs:

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt is frantically pleading with Fox News to stop the release of Tucker Carlson's upcoming Patriot Purge documentary and hide it from public view.

In a letter written to Fox Corporation Executive Chairman and CEO Lachlan Murdoch, Greenblatt called Patriot Purge "dangerous misinformation," and desperately pleaded with Murdoch to "reconsider airing" the program because it has the potential to make people angry with our public officials and elected leaders.

In the letter, Greenblatt highlighted that the ADL is extremely worried about Carlson deviating from the current narrative being pushed by the federal government, establishment politicians, and corporate media outlets.

The documentary is expected to expose undercover federal involvement in the escalation of the January 6 protests, something that federal officials, aside from a select few elected officials, have been severely reluctant to discuss despite growing evidence indicating otherwise.


"Let's call this what it is: an abject, indisputable lie and a blatant attempt to rewrite history," Greenblatt wrote, adding that the organization remains "deeply concerned that the false narrative and wild conspiracy theories presented by Carlson will sow further division and has the potential to animate violence."

In his effort to persuade Fox News to conduct a cover-up of Carlson's documentary, Greenblatt wrote "you are giving license to yet another conspiracy theory: that January 6th was an inside job with the intention of rounding up and imprisoning conservatives."

Greenblatt appears to suggest that potentially exposing the misdeeds of the U.S. government constitutes "inflammatory rhetoric." He went further, appearing to claim that discussion of undercover federal involvement in January 6, or the abuse of American civil liberties, "is neither legitimate political discourse nor spirited debate."

Greenblatt wrote that "Carlson has the right to make outrageous claims - but freedom of speech is not freedom of reach," however it is unclear how honest, groundbreaking journalism violates the 1st amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

National File will monitor this situation closely and report any responses given to the ADL from Fox News.
