The French government and much of the public has reacted with outrage after another open letter issued by military personnel has warned that France is headed for "civil war" if it doesn't handle its Muslim extremism problem.

The controversy was further stoked when Marine Le Pen - commonly dubbed by mainstream media as France's outspoken "leader of the far-right" - once again showed support for the letter by agreeing on the "danger of a civil war" in an apparent rallying of her base around the message ahead of next April's election where they'll seek to take on President Emmanuel Macron. Clearly a significant bulk of officer and enlisted military members agree with her stark assessment.

Comment: RT reports:
Those among the French soldiers and officers who feel the urge to make public statements about the political situation in the country can find a perfect way to defend their opinions without compromising the neutrality of the army - by resigning, said Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Francois Lecointre.

"The most reasonable thing is certainly to leave [the army] in order to be able to make one's ideas and convictions public in a perfectly free [way]," the general said in a letter addressing officers, non-commissioned officers, active-duty soldiers, sailors and airmen as well as reservists.

Active duty military members who signed the second letter, Lecointre argued, "transgressed" their obligations of "neutrality" imposed on every French soldier.

"In the name of personal convictions," these soldiers and officers involved the Armed Forces in a debate, in which the military had neither legal nor moral right to intervene, he said. Lecointre called on those who signed the letter "to demonstrate common sense" and resign, while stopping short of threatening them with any official sanctions.

"Each soldier is free to think what he wants, but it is up to him to distinguish [between]... what comes from his responsibility as a citizen from what emerges from his responsibility as a soldier."

The first letter, published on April 21 - on the 60th anniversary of a failed coup d'état against General Charles de Gaulle over his support of Algerian independence - caused an uproar among France's top officials. Lecointre said at that time that 18 servicemen identified as its signatories would face a military tribunal. The chief of staff also vowed to personally write a damning letter to General Christian Piquemal - a former commander of the French Foreign Legion, who signed the first letter as well.

"I deny them all... a right to make political statements by highlighting their rank," Lecointre added.

The second letter was also met with a harsh response from the French top officials. Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin questioned the courage of the authors, who preferred to stay anonymous, while former president Francois Hollande accused them of a "desire to challenge the very principles of the Republic."

Defense Minister Florence Parly said that "armies are not there to campaign but to defend France."
The Chief of Staff is criticizing signatories for remaining anonymous whilst threatening those that do speak up with military tribunals. Notably, Macrons government attempting to silence the concerns voiced by some in the military are at the same time issuing the same warnings about immigration and integration to further their own agenda: Macron drafts new 'secularism' laws that outlaw homeschooling, claims to be fighting 'Islamic separatism'

Russia's most senior MP has confirmed that the country's parliament may soon consider proposals to put an end to anonymous online accounts, in the wake of the bloody school shooting in Kazan that has claimed at least nine lives.

In a statement posted to Telegram on Tuesday, Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the State Duma, said that parliamentarians were preparing a response to the "inhuman and brutal" atrocity.

"The world has changed greatly over the past few decades," he said. "New technologies like the internet are available to all, and they have brought not only progress, but also problems, which have turned into serious threats, especially to children. Children's health, their wellbeing - even their lives."

Biden urges parents to get children vaccinated after CDC backs Pfizer jab for kids as young as 12

President Joe Biden is making his push for children to get Covid-19 vaccines, now authorized for kids 12 and older, dismissing their low risk of serious illness in the hope of stopping its spread to more vulnerable age groups.

"This is one more giant step in our fight against the pandemic," Biden told reporters on Wednesday, after a CDC panel voted to recommend use of Pfizer-BioNTech's Covid-19 vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds. The shot was already available to anyone over 16, and the FDA on Monday gave emergency authorization to expand eligibility down to the age of 12.


Biden noted that there have been about three million Covid-19 cases among US children. But while Americans 17 and under account for around 9% of cases, they make up less than 0.1% of Covid-19 deaths. Children who are infected with the virus don't typically suffer serious illness or death.

UK Foreign Secretary Raab says Russia & China only use cyber capabilities to 'sabotage & steal', West uses its powers for 'good'

The modern fight against cybercrime is nothing but a clash between the West - a global "force for good" - and "authoritarian regimes" like Moscow and Beijing that seek to "ransom" the world, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab claims.

Most cybercrime activities usually involve theft or extortion as a motive, but that doesn't mean such offenses just happen at "random," Raab said, during a speech at the National Cyber Security Centre's CYBERUK conference.

The foreign secretary believes the "hostile state actors and criminal gangs" behind such attacks wish nothing more than to "undermine the very foundations of our democracy."

Raab then appeared to blame virtually all major cybercrimes on the usual Western culprits - "North Korea, Iran, Russia and China." These states use digital technologies to "sabotage and steal, or to control and censor," he declared.

He went on to describe the UK and its Western allies as a "force for good in the world" that always demonstrates "respect for international law" and uses cyber capabilities only for defending citizens and safeguarding "international collaboration."


Comment: Ha! Yeah, right. More the opposite where they use it to control and sensor their own citizens.


Comment: One can be certain that these tools will also be used on the population as well. See also:

Why are Gates and Pentagon releasing GMO mosquitoes in Florida Keys?

GMO Mosquitoes
Despite strong resident protests, the US Environmental Protection Agency and Florida agencies have approved controversial release of millions of genetically-modified or "gene edited" killer mosquitoes into the Florida Keyes. At the same time the controversial Presidential Science Adviser nominee of Biden is involved in development of the CRISPR technology being used to genetically modify everything from the mosquitoes to the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus mRNA "vaccines" to gene-edited salmon. How Bill Gates, the Pentagon and the eugenics lobby come together now is alarming to put it mildly.

On April 30 the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District and the Oxitec biotechnology company announced they will begin release of what will ultimately be some 750 million genetically manipulated or gene-edited Aedes Aegypti mosquitos using CRSPR gene editing technology. The Aedes Aegypti makes up only about 4% of the mosquito population in the Keys. The release is bitterly opposed by residents and environmental groups who demanded a referendum in last year's election ballot, but which the Mosquito Control Board refused, curiously. Oxitec and the Board claim the release is to kill off the presence of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito which is believed to carry dengue fever, Zika and other diseases.

The project, which sounds positive in the press statements, is alarming in many respects. First, the refusal to allow a citizen vote on the controversial GMO release. Second, there exists no cost-benefit analysis of the risks versus benefits of releasing millions of mosquitoes whose genetic traits are mutating in often unpredictable ways. Is it worth the risk that an ever more robust variety of mosquito will mutate from the project? No one can say. Traditional mosquito control techniques have worked well until now.

Comment: So the biological war against humanity using insects as a vector of disease has come home to the US.

Iran's Ahmadinejad registers candidacy for Presidential race

Mahmud Ahmadinejad
Former Iranian hard-line President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has registered his candidacy for a third term in office in next month's election.

State television reported on May 12 that Ahmadinejad marched with supporters to the Interior Ministry, where he filled out the required registration forms.

Considered an ultraconservative in the past, the 64-year-old ex-Tehran mayor has been more critical of the establishment in recent years.

He was barred from running at the last presidential election in 2017.

In a public comment to the CDC, molecular biologist and toxicologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., called to immediately halt Covid vaccine production and distribution. Citing fertility, blood-clotting concerns (coagulopathy), and immune escape, Dr. Lindsay explained to the committee the scientific evidence showing that the coronavirus vaccines are not safe.

On April 23, 2021, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices held a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The focus of this ACIP meeting was blood clotting disorders following Covid vaccines. Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay spoke to the CDC during the time set aside for public comment.

The censorship on social media in particular and the internet in general is relentless. Here is a slightly edited, annotated censorship-proof transcript of Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay's 3-minute comment.

You can listen to her testimony on YouTube below (for now, anyway. YouTube will likely censor it).



Comment: Dr. LIndsay's partial statement, additional commentary and information follows.


Comment: Time will tell. The 'outcome has been set in motion'. It is predicated on believability by the masses, of which many are dutifully enqueue. Knowledge protects.

The 'Deal of the Century' unravels

How Israeli government violence at the al-Aqsa mosque is a moment of hubris that is galvanising global opposition.

When Israeli Occupation Forces invaded al-Aqsa mosque during the final Friday prayers of Ramadan, spraying Palestinian worshippers with tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades, leaving hundreds injured and dozens hospitalised, it not only captured the merciless brutality of Israel's colonial rule but also the Government's self-destructive hubris.

Future historians may mark this unjustifiable attack and the week leading up to it as the point in which Israel, like the mythological Icarus, flew too close to the sun, believing in what it perceived to be total victory over the Palestinian people in the wake of United States brokered "normalisation" deals between Israel and Arab governments.

Comment: At least some are calling out the politic for 'late to the game' admonitions that only scratch the surface of the 'horror that is Israel' with no follow-up action or response.
A grand plan slam, The Deal of the Century was never going to, nor be allowed to work. What it did: Bought time, angered the Palestinians and gave excuse to Israel to further persecute and punish the innocent.

Biden White House edits administration quotes before letting reporters publish them

According to a Politico report Monday, the White House communications team is editing quotations from Biden administration officials, demanding interviews be performed on "background with quote approval."

Five reporters who cover the White House spoke with Politico, and the outlet confirmed it has "participated in such arrangements too." The above terminology means interview material can be used by reporters but the reporter's transcription must be either approved, vetoed, or edited. Politico noted:
"The other week, the White House asked for background with quote approval for an interview with White House communications director Kate Bedingfield for a profile about speechwriter Vinay Reddy. Close to deadline and with our editors giving us side-eye about filing late, we agreed."
Those who spoke with the outlet said it was commonplace during the Barack Obama administration and used by the Donald Trump administration too. For instance, David Remnick of The New Yorker was forced, by the Obama White House in a profile of his, to "quietly" receive quote approval, according to Gawker. Michael Lewis likewise was involved in such an arrangement for Vanity Fair profile in 2012.

Politico noted that the Trump White House used the practice less frequently.

Comment: Press Secretary Jen Psaki commented:
"We make policy experts available in a range of formats to ensure context and substantive detail is available for stories. If outlets are not comfortable with that attribution for those officials they of course don't need to utilize those voices."

Buh-bye: House Republicans vote to kick never-Trumper Liz Cheney out of leadership

The House Republican caucus voted Wednesday to kick Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her GOP conference chairman post.

According to Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, the caucus held a voice vote, so no final tally numbers will be known. Kinzinger also said that no replacement had yet been voted on.

Cheney, who served as the No. 3 Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, was a constant critic of former President Donald Trump and his reported role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. She was one of a handful of Republican lawmakers to vote for impeachment in January, which sent her down a path of constant criticism from Trump, fellow House members, including GOP leadership, and the Wyoming Republican Party, which voted to censure her for her impeachment vote.

Comment: Don't let the door hit your war-mongering keister on the way out.
