But there's no apartheid: Palestinians forced off Israeli bus to make way for Jewish passengers

A man pretending to be a transport ministry official manipulated the driver into removing around 50 Palestinian workers from the bus

Three Jewish passengers, one impersonating a transport ministry official, have forced dozens of Palestinians off a bus heading to the occupied West Bank, according to Haaretz.

The incident happened last Thursday, when about 50 Palestinians workers left the bus in the city of Bnei Brak, after the Jewish passengers demanded that the driver tell them to disembark.

Tnufa Transportation Solutions, the bus owner, operates routes between Tel Aviv and the West Bank settlement of Ariel, taking Palestinian workers with work permits from Israel back to the occupied West Bank.

Comment: What does it say about the mindset of the average Israeli citizen when they so easily succumb to social pressure? At least the bus company took some action, though it's unlikely anything will come of it.

Djokovic wife slams magazine as vaccine row swirls

Jelena Djokovic, the wife of 21-time Grand Slam winner Novak, has hit out at Racquet Magazine for penning an editorial piece critical of her husband's vaccine stance as the Serbian star looks increasingly likely to miss out on this month's US Open.

Djokovic appears almost certain to be absent for what would be a second Grand Slam event of the year, this time due to US rules forbidding unvaccinated non-citizens from entering the country.

In January, Djokovic was deported from Australia in a row over vaccine rules, in an incident which sparked a mini international incident between Australia and Serbia.

Supply chain problems will persist because the system is being sabotaged

empty supermarket shelf
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the executive vice president of UPS asserted that "regionalization" of the supply chain is critical to economic stability as geopolitcal conflicts expand. The word "regionalization" is basically a code word to describe decentralization, a concept which the UPS representative obviously did not want to dive into directly. Almost every trade expert and industry insider is admitting that supply chain problems are going to persist into the foreseeable future, and some are starting to also admit (in a roundabout way) that localized production and trade models are the key to survival.

This is something that I and many other alternative economists have been talking about for a decade or more. The globalist dynamic of interdependency is a disaster waiting to happen, and now it's happening. Without decentralized mining of raw materials, local manufacturing, locally sourced goods, local food production and locally integrated trade networks there can be no true stability. All it takes for the system to implode is one or two crisis events and the economy's ability to meet public demand stagnates. The system doesn't completely stop, but it does slowly shrivel and degrade.

UK gov't plans for blackouts, gas cuts, doubling of energy costs, come January

The UK is planning for several days over the winter when cold weather may combine with gas shortages, leading to organized blackouts for industry and even households.

Under the government's latest "reasonable worst-case scenario," Britain could face an electricity capacity shortfall totaling about a sixth of peak demand, even after emergency coal plants have been fired up, according to people familiar with the government's planning.

Under that outlook, below-average temperatures and reduced electricity imports from Norway and France could expose four days in January when the UK may need to trigger emergency measures to conserve gas, they said. The government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Too much truth? CBS partially retracts documentary about Ukraine war and missing military weapons

CBS issued a partial retraction Monday after a documentary aired suggesting the bulk of weapons sent to Ukraine fails to reach the front lines.

"We removed a tweet promoting our recent doc, 'Arming Ukraine,' which quoted the founder of the nonprofit Blue-Yellow, Jonas Ohman's assessment in late April that only around 30% of aid reached the front lines in Ukraine," CBS stated in a tweet. The news outlet added a similarly worded "editor's note" to the top of its written coverage of the documentary.

Ohman cited numerous logistical challenges in the delivery of needed equipment, CBS noted. Quotes from other figures in the documentary who are involved in the provision of Ukraine-bound supplies alluded to corruption and a lack of accountability of U.S. aid, CBS reported.

Comment: How can anyone believe that with such a geyser of weaponry being directed at a corrupt country like Ukraine, that some (or most) inventory would find its way on to the black market?

Great reset: Amsterdam's Airport becomes world's first to cap flights in its bid to cut pollution

The Netherlands' Schiphol airport has become the first in the world to cut the number of flights by 12 per cent in its bid to reduce pollution and make the industry and aviation more sustainable.

The decision has been taken by the country's government cabinet and the same has been made known to the House of Representatives through a letter signed by the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

"Minister Harbers informs the House of Representatives about the cabinet's decision to reduce the maximum number of permitted aircraft movements to and from Schiphol to 440,000 per year. This instead of the 500,000 aircraft movements from the draft Airport Traffic Decree (LVB)," the government notes in a statement published alongside the letter sent to the House of Representatives.

Comment: If the elites had it their way the plebs wouldn't be allowed to fly or drive, they'd be on a nutritious diet of bugs and beyond burgers, jabbed up the wazoo, and taking cold showers, all while clapping for the NHS and shouting "Take that Putin". See also:

The Navy wants to help pay off student debt to get new recruits

Money talks. In a time of inflation and a competitive job market, the military has been trying to entice people to enlist or reenlist in the armed forces to meet service goals.

The latest to get into the mix is the Navy. According to a service memo released on Thursday, Aug. 4, the service branch is offering an enlistment bonus of $50,000 to future sailors and any Navy veteran or other service veteran who signs up for the Navy. After all, what's more enticing than money upfront? Well it's 2022 and student loan debt is a major issue weighing on people. The Navy's other new incentive is a loan repayment program, with a maximum of $65,000.

There's a catch. In fact there are several. Anyone interested in qualifying must be ready to ship out by the end of September. For any veterans of the Navy or other service branch, they must also reenter active duty at a pay grade at or below E-4, and also must not have received an enlistment bonus in their first time serving. So it's a limited window. But by the memo's own admission, this is an effort to quickly get trained and ready sailors into the Navy to maintain and "ensure Fleet readiness."

Comment: Sell your soul to pay the bills...sounds about right, doesn't it?

Not just the Dutch: Farmers everywhere fight for survival against climate change activism

The most efficient system in history of growing food and getting it to consumers, modern farming, is under attack, blamed for causing climate change.

Dutch Government to Farmers: Reduce Your Operations by Up to 95 Percent

The world has watched as Dutch farmers fight for their economic survival against demands that they shrink their operations to suit the government's climate change agenda. The Dutch government has told farmers to cut ammonia emissions by 50 percent, and those near protected areas must reduce their operations by as much as 95 percent, or they must sell their land to the government and face a lifetime ban from farming.

Dutch Farmers have responded by spraying government buildings with manure while Dutch police shot at a 16-year-old boy at a demonstration.

Jos Ubels, Vice President of the Farmer's Defense Force in the Netherlands, says negotiations are not going anywhere and a bad situation is continuing to escalate.

"We are fighting for our right to produce and to live as a human being in our country," Ubels said, "in a democracy where we have the right to go on the street to protest against legislation, and we have the right to produce, via our permits."
