Anna and Child
On 26th May 2015 Ukrainian armed forces started a brutal attack, shelling the residential city of Gorlovka. This is a day Anna Tuv will never forget.

As a result of that shelling, her husband and 11-year-old daughter died in the attack. Her two-year-old son sustained multiple wounds, and her new born baby suffered concussion. She herself was seriously injured and had her left arm torn off. The family home was also totally destroyed.

Four year later, in 2019, Anna became a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I, like many others wondered how Anna coped with all this trauma so I managed to secure this interview with Anna so she could tell us more about what happened on that fateful day on 26th May, 2015.

At Anna's personal request I have made this interview freely available for all to read.

Why must Americans rely on foreign media to expose the deplorable conditions of Biden's child migrant detention centers?

While the US media never stopped hammering Donald Trump over his 'zero-tolerance' migration policies, journalists happily give Joe Biden a pass as thousands of child migrants arrive in the US to nightmarish conditions.

In order to appreciate how biased the American mainstream media is in favor of the Democratic Party, consider that it took journalists from the BBC (hardly a pro-Trump organization) to uncover the appalling conditions that await the hundreds of child migrants entering the United States from Mexico every single day.

This massive influx of minors, who mostly arrive from Central America, has forced the Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) to place the minors on daily flights to a network of 200 detention facilities across 22 states, where the young arrivals can expect to be greeted by "cold temperatures, sickness, neglect, lice and filth," among other such pleasantries, the British broadcaster revealed in its shocking report.

Facebook won't remove posts claiming COVID-19 is human-made

Facebook says it will no longer remove claims that COVID-19 is human-made or manufactured "in light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts."

There is rising pressure worldwide to investigate the origins of the pandemic, including the possibility that it came from a lab. Since the pandemic began, Facebook has been changing what it allows on the topic and what it bans. In February, it announced a host of new claims it would be prohibiting -- including that COVID-19 was created in a Chinese lab. Other claims it added at the time included the false notion that vaccines are not effective or that they are toxic.

Lisa Fazio, a professor of psychology at Vanderbilt University, said the reversal shows the difficulty of fact-checking in general, particularly with something unprecedented like the coronavirus, when experts can disagree and change their minds with new evidence.
"It's one reason that content moderation shouldn't be static, scientific consensus changes over time. It's also a reminder to be humble and that for some questions the best current answer is "we don't know yet" or "it's possible, but experts think it's unlikely."
Facebook's reversal comes as President Joe Biden ordered U.S. intelligence officials to "redouble" their efforts to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any possibility the trail might lead to a Chinese laboratory. After months of minimizing these claims as a fringe theory, the Biden administration is joining worldwide pressure for China to be more open about the outbreak. It aims to head off GOP complaints that Biden has not been tough enough and to use the opportunity to press China on alleged obstruction.

Not even the Soviet Union paid people to stay home

Editor's note: This letter was written by Viktorija, our Sovereign Woman
Last week after my little 'incident' when I was almost mugged in downtown Las Vegas, I felt the need to unwind and have a drink.

Apparently everyone else had the same idea, because the hotel bar was packed as tightly as a 'mostly peaceful' protest.

Curiously, though, despite such brisk business, there was only ONE waitress working.

She couldn't possibly keep up with all the orders and looked like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So I walked over to see if she was doing OK.

She was almost in tears as she told me that there would usually be at least 4-6 other servers... but all of her colleagues had simply stopped showing up and the hotel hadn't found anyone to replace them.

After all, why actually work if the government is willing to pay you to Netflix and chill all day?

Macron in Rwanda: 'Recognition' but 'no repentance' for France's role in genocide

Thursday, May 27, 2021: As the French president visits Rwanda, left-wing daily Libération warns that there will be "recognition" but "no repentance" for France's role in the 1994 genocide. British papers react to bombshell testimony from the PM's former adviser on the government's "disastrous" Covid-19 response. Plus, tennis star Naomi Osaka speaks out against press conferences, and research shows that monkeys adapt their "accents" when talking to monkeys of other species.

Three men have been jailed for between eight and 53 years after being found guilty of assisting the perpetrators of the 2017 terror attacks in Catalonia, which left 16 people dead and 140 wounded.

The men who carried out the atrocities - Spain's worst terror attack since the Madrid train bombings in March 2004 - used a van to knock down pedestrians on Barcelona's La Rambla boulevard on 17 August 2017 and then staged another assault the following day in the Catalan coastal town of Cambrils.

Homeless shelter cleared to house illegal aliens, dozens infected with COVID-19

homeless shelter cleared covid
As if the illegal immigrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border were not bad enough, homeless Americans have been booted from a temporary shelter in southern California to make room for scores of migrants, dozens of them infected with COVID-19. Since the Biden administration rolled out the welcome mat, thousands of illegal aliens have entered the country, most of them minors classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the feds. Now the government is scrambling to meet its legal obligation of caring for them at facilities nationwide operated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

In this case, homeless residents were apparently cleared out of the San Diego Convention Center prematurely to accommodate up to 1,450 UAC, though city officials claim the decision to stop using the facility for the homeless predates the illegal alien crunch. Homeless San Diegans have been housed at the center for about a year as part of an initiative to halt the spread of COVID-19. The San Diego City Council voted to extend the program through March, but evidently it was cut short to bring in the illegal immigrants. The city will relocate about 500 homeless individuals to two local shelters, according to a local news report. "The convention center will be used to house migrants through July and will be operated by the federal government and the county," the story says.

'Our constitution should be burned': What critical race theorists really think of America

critical race theorists
Will Reusch, a high school teacher in LA who also worked with the Heterodox Academy, asked to have a conversation with advocates for CRT in schools. That conversation revealed that CRT advocates do not believe in America's founding documents, instead saying that "the constitution should be burned."

Reusch spoke to Alfred "shivy" Brooks who is running for Atlanta City Council, Dr. Kate Slater who has worked in teacher recruitment for a top prep school, and Louiza "Weeze" Doran who were proponents of critical race theory. While undoubtedly these folks would define it differently, critical race theory is the practice of looking at all events both current and historical through the lens of race and racism.

"Our constitution should be burned"

The conversation turned to the principles of Enlightenment as the foursome tried to find common ground. Reusch asked if they could all agree that those principles represented the way forward. They could not.

"I just want to jump in and bring it back to the point," Doran said, turning to her computer to read off a definition of "Enlightenment principles."

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet delivers a speech virtually during a special session on Monday
The UN human rights chief has said that Israeli forces may have committed war crimes in the 11-day war with the militant group Hamas that rules the Gaza Strip.

Michelle Bachelet also called on Israel to allow an independent probe of military action in the latest spasm of deadly violence.

The remarks came as the UN's top human rights body opened a one-day special session to discuss the "the grave human rights situation" in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Bachelet said Hamas' indiscriminate rocket fire during the conflict was also a clear violation of the rules of war.

The UN high commissioner for human rights detailed to the Human Rights Council the "most significant escalation of hostilities since 2014" that left devastation and death in the Gaza Strip before a cease-fire last week.
