Comment: These are the nutty Lefties Peterson and others warn will destroy civilization if left unchecked. Note how they're widely promoted in the MSM. Conceived and born in Britain, 'Extinction Rebellion' is the latest British environmentalist fad. With each new wave, however, it becomes more and more extreme. Something to keep in mind is that the British security state has had a strong hand in that country's green movement since the beginning:

• COINTELPRO in the UK: Undercover British police officer was pivotal in extreme actions of environmental campaigners
• British government sanctions rape of its own subjects as a matter of domestic terrorism policy
• Protest movements are crawling with COINTELPRO: Sixth police spy unmasked in British protest movement

Having a controlled 'rebellion' on the streets is of course highly convenient for the UK government at a time when genuine rebellion threatens because of its grand deception over Brexit. The fake opposition has also proved helpful in France, where the media has devoted more attention to schoolgirls boycotting school 'because the climate' than to the Yellow Vest rebellion.

Beyond the BS ideologies environMentalists espouse, at root they embody the desire to wreck everything just so that 'something interesting' will happen in their lives. They have zero affinity for the actual popular rebellions taking place because those hold the potential to make the world a better, fairer place. They instead - subconsciously for the most part, though very much intentionally on the part of the clever schizoids driving it forward - seek to increase suffering and to punish their compatriots for their 'sins against the climate'. And they're using impressionable children to
do it...

Comment: Update 16:00 CET

The latest figure is that 207 people were killed, and around 500 injured, from 8 blasts in different cities in Sri Lanka.That death toll is expected to rise...

At least 207 people were killed and hundreds more wounded in a series of bomb blasts that hit luxury hotels and churches across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, leaving the entire country in a state of lock-down.

The first wave of attacks struck at the heart of the country's minority Christian community during busy Easter services at churches in the cities of Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa on Sunday morning. Additional blasts ripped through three high-end hotels, the Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury, all in capital city Colombo.

Update 21:30 CET

RT has more details:

The churches are located in three locations on different sides of the island: St. Anthony's Church in its commercial capital Colombo and St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo on the western coast, and the Zion Church in Batticaloa in the east. The explosions hit as Easter Sunday services were being held, with over 50 people killed in St. Sebastian's alone, according to a police official cited by Reuters. Over 25 people were reportedly killed in Batticaloa.

All three hotels are located in Colombo, one of them - Cinnamon Grand - about 200 meters from the prime minister's residence, and the other two not much further away.

Also, 10 days ago, Sri Lanka's national police chief reportedly sent out an alert about a radical Islamist group planning bomb attacks on prominent churches in the country.

The alert was sent by Pujuth Jayasundara on April 11, according to AFP. The alert said:

"A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama'ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian High Commission in Colombo..."

That's pretty much what just happened. Which foreign intelligence agency, inquiring minds would like to know...

Here's footage of a bomb going off at a church in Colombo:


This was clearly a sophisticated multi-site, coordinated operation - the worst to hit the Indian subcontinent since 2008 in Mumbai. Police have arrested 7 people suspected of involvement, during raids which cost three police lives.

Turkey's Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, has compared the attacks to the recent shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. He may not have had this in mind but the perpetrators (the handlers, not the hired guns) may have sought to provide a 'balancing counterweight' to the outrage at Muslims being killed during religious worship in mosques.

12 hours later, no group has yet claimed responsibility, and there's no obvious suspect. There has been no violence in Sri Lanka since its civil war ended 10 years ago, so the country has had no flare-up of Random Muslim Violence thus far during the two decades of the 'War on Terror'. Which makes today's multi-site attacks all the more strange.

The manufactured 'clash of civilizations' continues...

Updates 22 April 2019

Another bomb has been found near Colombo airport. Police have defused it and the airport was put into lockdown.

And another one still was found today in a van outside St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Colombo, scene of carnage yesterday. It apparently detonated as police prepared to defuse it:


Denmark's richest man has lost 3 of his 4 children to the explosion at one of the hotels hit during yesterday's mega-terror attack.

Police have reported finding 87 bomb detonators at the main bus station in Colombo. Clearly, whoever carried this out, had a LOT of financial backing in order to do so.

Meanwhile, questions are being asked about why this warning, issued 10 days before the attacks, failed to prevent them from happening:


The current death toll has jumped to 290, with about 500 wounded. 32 of those are thought to be foreigners, including American, British, Turkish, Indian, Chinese, Danish, Moroccan, Dutch, Pakistan and Portuguese nationals. A total of 24 suspects have been rounded up, and all of them are apparently Sri Lankan nationals.

However, the country's health minister has said:

"We do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who were confined to this country.

He also stated that there was "an international network," without which the attacks "could not have succeeded."

There have still been no claims of responsibility for the attacks...

The US State Department has piped up to warn that the terrorists are planning further attacks in Sri Lanka. It provided no information about why it believes this to be the case, so we can only presume it's because the US government is in contact with the terrorists.

Here's an RT summary of the sites hit so far:

Comment: This 'warning' from Reporters Without Borders is obvious propaganda for why the MSM has faced such immense failure over the past several years. Lies can only exist for so long until a state of collapse is experienced. We are witnessing this state of collapse and it has nothing to do with 'political leaders hostility' toward the media. The general public's hostility toward the media comes from being repeatedly lied to and deceived. This report is just more of the same tone-deaf deflection, which is why it will not recover any credibility that the media has lost. Own up to your incredible failings. Then we'll talk.

Comment: While irresponsible people (or arsonists) may be to blame for causing this fire, the unseasonably dry and warm conditions that enabled it to happen are quite unusual, and this is the case throughout particular parts of the world and which also seem to be a continuation from last year. Meanwhile in other parts of Europe are seeing much lower temperatures bringing snow, hail and flooding:
