High schoolers in California's class of 2030 will be required to complete an ethnic studies course in order to graduate, under a bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Friday.

The Golden State is believed to be the first in the US to institute such a mandate.

Public and charter schools in the state will be required to offer at least one ethnic studies course starting in the 2025-2026 school year.

Students will have to take the class on top of other standard gen-ed requirements in English, math, science and social studies.

Sigurdur Thordarson, a key witness for the FBI against Julian Assange, has been jailed in Iceland. The notorious alleged hacker and convicted pedophile was remanded to custody in Iceland's highest security prison, Litla Hraun, on September 24. Þórðarson´s lawyer, Húnbogi J. Andersen, confirms that he is in custody. Thordarson was given immunity by the FBI in exchange for testimony against Julian Assange.

Thordarson was arrested the same day he arrived back in Iceland from a trip to Spain, and was subsequently brought before a judge after police requested indefinite detention intended to halt an ongoing crime spree. The judge apparently agreed that Thordarson's repeated, blatant and ongoing offences against the law put him at high risk for continued re-offending.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in Afghanistan which targeted Shia Muslims in a mosque on Friday.

The attack killed at least 46 people and injured more than a 140 in Afghanistan's northeastern Kunduz province. The extremist group said that an ISIS suicide bomber "detonated an explosive vest amid a crowd" of Shia worshippers who had gathered inside the mosque.

Taliban spokesman confirmed the attack which targeted worshippers while they were performing Friday prayers.

Comment: There's every reason to suspect that this surge in ISIS attacks is being facilitated by the West and its allies; after all, ISIS would barely exist were it not for them, and factions working for the West had already begun to renew the slaughter of civilians before the US had even left the country with the atrocity at Kabul airport: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Kabul Airport Atrocity - What Actually Happened?

Russia has rejected calls from the Council of Europe's Commission against Racism and Intolerance to repeal the country's controversial ban on the dissemination of information about "non-traditional" sexualities among minors.

Speaking to TASS news agency, Ivan Soltanovsky, Russia's Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe, called the commission's demand an "abuse of power," noting that Moscow does not feel it should follow recommendations it gives on the treatment of sexual minorities.

The Council of Europe is an organization of 47 European nations, including Russia. On Tuesday, it published a statement calling for Moscow to "abolish the legal ban on the provision of information about homosexuality to minors," in line with a European Court of Human Rights ruling in 2017.

Comment: Below are just a few examples of the fruits of this kind of propaganda over in the EU & US:

Australian cop quits after bombshell interview, claims most colleagues 'suffering' & don't want to enforce tough Covid-19 rules

A female officer with Victoria Police, who served for 16 years, has resigned in protest against the use of police to enforce Covid-19 rules, saying in an interview that a "great majority" of her colleagues shared her sentiments.

Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell has appeared on The Discernible Interviews channel on YouTube on Friday, wearing her dark-blue uniform and revealing that she had been "troubled" by how police resources have been applied during the pandemic by state authorities.

Victoria Police have been tasked with making sure that people in one of Australia's most populous states abide by the lockdown restrictions, and with curbing illegal protests against the health rules and vaccination mandates, which often turn violent, resulting in numerous arrests and accusations of police brutality. Melbourne, Victoria's capital city, holds the world record for longest lockdown.

Comment: More from news.com.au:
Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell featured on The Discernible Interviews on Friday night to contend that Victoria Police was no longer independent from the Daniel Andrews government.

Dressed in full uniform, she said police were "scaring people in the community" by enforcing the Chief Health Officer's public health restrictions.

"I'm here for a number of reasons but firstly I just want to talk about who I am and the career I've had with Victoria Police,'' she said.

"There was a big thought process and battle of morals and integrity within me about what I wanted to do and how I see my organisation being used during this pandemic and it troubled me greatly...

"But behind that is all of my friends that are police officers that are working the front line and are suffering every day enforcing CHO directions, that certainly the great majority don't believe in and don't want to enforce," she said.

Quisha King, who is the co-chair of the Northeast Florida Moms for Liberty Chapter, called for a "mass exodus from public schools," and the crowd went wild. Speaking at the Pray Vote Stand Summit in Virginia, King recounted her story of becoming an activist mom, and how she came to believe that the public schools were no place for her children.

Speaking out against critical race theory and how "extremely pervasive" it is in public schools, King said parents need to know that it "is not going away."

"The enemy has no chill," she said, "and is advancing forward as fast as we can see. I mean, you're at home trying to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for your kids and the FBI could be knocking at your door, because you might have said the wrong thing at a school board meeting." King said, referencing the Biden administration's new initiative to investigate concerned parents who speak up angrily at school board meetings.

Dr Robert Malone branded a "terrorist" by Italian media.

Dr Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccines, says he was branded a "terrorist" by the media in Italy and warns that physicians who speak out are being "hunted via medical boards and the press."

"I am going to speak bluntly," tweeted Malone. "Physicians who speak out are being actively hunted via medical boards and the press. They are trying to deligitimize and pick us off one by one. This is not a conspiracy theory - this is a fact. Please wake up. This is happening globally."

Food shortages leave 8 million Britons unable to buy essential items over last fortnight - ONS survey

Empty shelves
The other factor to consider: Empty shelves in the meat aisle of a branch of Tesco in Liverpool
Some 17% of adults said they had not been able to purchase goods because they were not available on the shelves - but separate data suggests the fuel supply crisis is easing across the country.

Around one in six adults in Britain have been unable to buy essential food items in the last fortnight, representing up to eight million people - new figures indicate.

Some 17% of adults said they had not been able to purchase such goods because they were not available, according to newly released data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Comment: It would appear that there are at least two factors in play; firstly, there is government instigated hysteria, such as with the panic buying of fuel, which occurred following questionable comments from government figures, and, secondly, there are the very real shortages caused by lockdowns that have thrown the supply chain into chaos, in addition to the many years of crop failures due to increasingly extreme and erratic weather, and mass culls due to disease outbreaks: For more on the issue of shortages, check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Is The Government Hyping Shortages?

Texas pardons board votes unanimously to recommend posthumous pardon for George Floyd

The Texas State Board of Pardons and Paroles voted unanimously Monday to recommend a full posthumous pardon of George Floyd for a 2004 drug conviction, according to hearing minutes provided by the board to CNN.

An application for the pardon was filed in April on behalf of Floyd and his surviving family. In the application, Allison Mathis of the Harris County Public Defender's Office said the request was filed because the arresting officer in Floyd's case, Gerald Goines, "manufactured the existence of confidential informants to bolster his cases against innocent defendants."

Floyd died in May 2020 after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes. Chauvin was found guilty of Floyd's murder in April and was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison in June.
