Head of Israel's Shin Bet Security Agency Nadav Argaman has secretly met with Palestinian Authority (PA), Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Fatah President Mahmoud Abbas and asked him to call off Palestinian elections, Israeli media reported on Friday.

According to a report broadcast by Israeli Channel 13, Argaman met with Abbas in Ramallah over the last two weeks. He urged Abbas to cancel the elections if the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas takes part, according to the Times of Israel.

Meanwhile, Anadolu Agency reported the Israeli TV channel claiming that Argaman warned Abbas about pushing forward an investigation into Israeli crimes at the International Criminal Court, Fatah's plan to run on a joint list with Hamas for the parliamentary elections and forming a coalition government with Hamas.

Who is shaking the jar?

Red ants attack black ant
"If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what's happening in society today. Liberal vs. Conservative. Black vs. White. Pro Mask vs. Anti-Mask. Vax vs. Anti-vax. Rich vs. poor. Man vs. woman. Cop vs. citizen. The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who's shaking the jar... and why?" - Shera Starr
A few weeks ago, I saw the above quote in Jeff Thomas' article Learning from Ants, and it has been reverberating in my mind ever since. It is a perfect analogy for what has been happening in this country for years, with the jar lately being shaken at a rate faster than a Biden vote count increase at 3:00 am in a swing state. Everyone in this country, and the world, is at each other's throats. Who is shaking the jar? Why are they shaking the jar? Why do they want us fighting each other?

Russia & China join forces to demand crunch-time UN Security Council talks over 'political turbulence': Moscow slams 'destructive' US

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attend news conference following their meeting in Guilin, China March 23, 2021.
UN officials must meet to head off growing threats to world peace, diplomats from Beijing and Moscow have insisted, in a joint statement published on Tuesday, with Russia saying both states are concerned about American behavior.

At a meeting in the Chinese city of Guilin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his counterpart Wang Yi said that "at a time of increasing global political turbulence, a summit of the permanent members of the UN Security Council is particularly necessary to establish direct dialogue about ways to resolve humankind's common problems in the interests of maintaining global stability."

Comment: Indeed. Economic sanctions have been the US's blunt instrument against all it perceives as acting against imperial interests. Russia and China are leading the way in creating a global structure that will bypass and nullify them. It will be a relief no doubt, to leave behind the decrepit, decaying West.

Germany plans to impose strict lockdown over Easter - but Merkel backtracks after criticism

Germany imposes strict lockdown over Easter

"We are in a new pandemic" due to the spread of coronavirus variants, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said. German federal and state leaders have agreed on a radical shutdown over the Easter holidays.

Germany is extending the current lockdown through to April 18, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced early Tuesday.

The country will enter an even stricter lockdown from April 1 to April 5 over the Easter holiday period, when shops, including grocery stores, will largely have to close.

Merkel warned that Germany needed to "break the exponential growth of the third wave." Case numbers have reached levels that authorities say will overburden intensive care units.

Tuesday's announcement marks a reversal from earlier this month when state leaders agreed to begin a cautious reopening process.

Talks between leaders of Germany's 16 federal states and Merkel lasted until the early hours of the morning following a lengthy interruption.

Comment: The Corona madness continues across Europe.

France president Macron announced new restrictions and continued to spread hysteria over the virus and vaccines, despite the fact that 61% of the people think that the AstraZeneca Vaccine is unsafe.

Denmark is thinking about easing the restrictions but with compulsory "covid passports" and vaccination of the population over the age of 50. The "passport" will be required to visit the gradually opened services.

The Netherlands' controversial Covid-19 curbs will be extended until April 20, and the travel-abroad restriction is also extended until May 15. Netherlands government drew further anger last month after an appeals court reinstated the country's curfews, reversing an earlier ruling that found the measures were "illegitimate."

Despite the harsher tyrannical measures that governments impose on their population, people are protesting more and more in almost every country in Europe. Clashes with police became a daily routine.

The installation of the police state is probably going as planned for the PTB. Will they with all their aggressive behavior against the people reach the tipping point when people will stand united against the tyranny that kidnapped their lives and took their freedom and rights and put an end to this madness?

UPDATE: Merkel has reversed course after the lockdown decision prompted "criticism and confusion" among Germany's public. She told regional leaders it was her mistake to answer for. Not everyone in parliament was as forgiving as others:
Christian Lindner, party leader of the business-friendly Free Democrats (FDP), tweeted that Merkel should put a vote of confidence to the Bundestag.

"The Chancellor can no longer be sure of the unanimous support of her coalition," Lindner wrote.

"A vote of confidence in the German Bundestag would be advisable in order to check the ability of the Merkel government to act."

"Liberals have become too censorious and too willing to use their cultural and corporate and political power to suppress ideas and products that offend them."

In an exclusive interview with the New York Times Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) slammed Big Tech for banning former President Trump from their platforms, said it makes him feel "uncomfortable" and Big Tech shouldn't have that much "power."

Ezra Klein, host of the New York Times Opinion podcast The Ezra Klein Show, interviewed Senator Sanders where they discusses a wide range of topics from cancel culture to Big Tech censorship and the current Biden administration.

UK children targeted for Covid-19 vaccine in August, Johnson govt 'considering' making vaccinations mandatory for healthcare workers

Comment: If they 'cross the Rubicon' and make vaccinations mandatory, they will be the first UK govt to do so since the 1800s smallpox vaccine laws (which led to widespread rebellion when those jabs caused deadly outbreaks of smallpox)...


johnson hancock

Begging for a revolution, they are
Children will start getting the Covid vaccine as early as August under provisional government plans to push for maximum immunity from the virus, The Telegraph can reveal.

Two sources involved in preparations said that was the soonest point at which Britons under the age of 18 would be given the jabs - months earlier than expected.

Safety data on the critical child vaccine study being run by Oxford University - on which ministers are waiting before making their final decisions - is expected shortly, with its conclusions due in June or July.


Comment: There's a lack of safety data because the UK population, particularly its most vulnerable, are acting as test subjects, and, in preparation for August, vaccine experiments on children are in the works: UK children to be test subjects of latest AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trials


Comment: A year of lockdowns has already seriously compromised immunity in the population, and it's likely that sacrificing children's usually robust health for the sake of this mass vaccination scheme could have dire consequences: By the way, the French govt is toying with doing likewise; legally mandating vaccinations for all healthcare workers.

And the Russian govt has taken the opposite stance.

Nets hide Democratic plot to STEAL House seat from 2020 GOP victor

While the liberal broadcast networks had spent plenty of time pushing lies about the Republican Party purportedly trying to roll back voting rights and bring back Jim Crow laws, they didn't care that House Democrats were cooking up a plot to steal a House seat from the Iowa Republican woman who rightfully won the district back in November.

As Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noted during Monday's Special Report, "Republicans are calling it an obvious power play to pad the speaker's slim majority."

But instead of reporting on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) machinations and calling an assault on our democracy, ABC's World News Tonight talked about the weather, CBS Evening News showed drone footage of an erupting volcano, and NBC Nightly News deflected blame away from President Biden for the rising price in gas.

The Biden administration has asked the Pentagon for use of military bases to house the rising number of minors crossing the US border illegally, as the people who screamed in outrage under the previous president were now silent.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday that the Department of Health and Human Services requested to use facilities at Joint Base San Antonio and Fort Bliss, both in Texas, to house an unspecified number of minors apprehended after crossing the border from Mexico.

"We have just received this request, so I don't have much more detail than that," said Kirby, adding the Pentagon will "analyze it and evaluate it just like we would any other request for assistance."

Senators Duckworth, Hirono to vote against straight white Biden nominees as Dems' identity-politics balance starts to show cracks

FILE PHOTO: Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S. May 6, 2020.
President Joe Biden's administration is too white and heterosexual - at least in the view of two Democratic senators - who vowed to vote down any non-LGBTQ white nominee, until the White House commits to more diversity.

Senator Tammy Duckworth (Illinois) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) told reporters on Tuesday that they'll vote to approve only non-white or LGBTQ nominees until Biden starts appointing more minorities. While Hirono said her concern is diversity in general, Duckworth is trying to pressure the administration to give more plum jobs to Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) candidates.

"I am a no vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees," Duckworth said. "You know, I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else, I'm not voting for."


Comment: Whatever happened to merit? For examples, would we want to choose engineers of bridges based on their race and sexuality rather than their expertise and ability?

Surprise: Biden, 'devastated' by Boulder shooting, asks Senate to act on House gun control bills

President Joe Biden said he's "devastated" by the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, that left 10 people dead — just days after a separate mass killing that left eight people dead in Georgia.

"While the flag was still flying half staff, another American city has been scarred by gun violence and resulting trauma," Biden told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, hours after a gunman opened fire inside a King Sooper's grocery store, killing 10 people, including a responding police officer.

He called on lawmakers to expedite two measures that have passed the Democrat-controlled U.S. House, which would require more rigorous background checks for gun purchases.

"I don't need to wait another minute — or another hour — to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future," Biden said.

Biden noted the long-term mental impacts that people are feeling "through too many of these" shootings.


Comment: How about the long-term mental impacts of unnecessary lockdowns and virus-related fear propaganda. What about that?


Comment: These would be the first "reasonable" sounding steps in attempting to disarm millions of Americans. Watch it happen.
