Iran is set to be the first country to roll out a food rationing scheme based on new biometric IDs. Where vaccine passports failed, food passports will now be eagerly accepted by hungry people who can't afford rapidly inflating food prices. This is the realization of a longstanding agenda by the Rockefeller/UN/WEF crowd to, as Kissinger put it, "control food, and control people." Christian breaks it down in this Ice Age Farmer broadcast.

The People's Convoy announced that the trucker protest group will return on Tuesday to Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland, which was used as a staging area for demonstrations earlier this year in Washington, D.C.

During a Sunday rally in Ohio, which was livestreamed on the YouTube page "1st Responders Media," the group announced that it would return to Hagerstown to protest. The People's Convoy confirmed on its Facebook page and website that trucks would arrive at the speedway on Tuesday evening.

"May 17th. WE ARRIVE AT HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY!!!" the Facebook post reads. "We greatly appreciate them having The People's Convoy back!!"

Comment: From doing a little digging (the People's Convoy website is here), it seems the goals of the truckers have largely remained the same: "It's Time to End THE DECLARATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY CONCERNING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC and Restore
Our Nation's Constitution." You'd think this would be getting more press.

'Twitter does not believe in free speech': Project Veritas records Twitter engineer saying platform censors the right but NOT the left, everyone who works there is 'commie as f**k'

Siru Murugesan, described by Project Veritas as a senior engineer at Twitter, has been caught on camera by an undercover operative admitting the company has a left-wing bias, does not believe in free speech, and that staffers 'hate' Elon Musk.
A senior engineer at Twitter has admitted the social media giant has a strong left-wing bias and they routinely censor conservatives.

Siru Murugesan was recorded saying the company culture is extremely far left where workers are 'commie as f**k' and they 'hate, hate, hate' Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover.

In a shockingly frank conversation, filmed over several encounters, he said the firm 'does not believe in free speech' and even started to turn him left-wing when he joined.

Elon Musk says Twitter deal 'cannot move forward' until he has clarity on fake account numbers

© Joe Skipper | ReutersMusk’s plan to buy Twitter has worried policymakers around the world.
Elon Musk said his $44 billion purchase of Twitter will not move ahead until he has more clarity on how many accounts are fake.

Twitter estimated in a filing earlier this month that fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily active users — known as mDAUs — during the first quarter were fake or spam accounts.

But Musk estimates that around 20% of the accounts on Twitter are fake or spam accounts and he's concerned that the number could be even higher.

Comment:
While its easy for detractors to say this is 'just' Elon trying to drive down the price (and this certainly could be part of what's going on), and criticize his approach to finding more accurate numbers, they seem to missing the meat of the story. If Twitter is populated by a significant amount of bots, (and spam bots, while concerning, are less of a concern than bots designed to sway public opinion on hot-button topics), then what is Elon really buying? Whether he ends up owning Twitter or not, this whole show has been worth it for the evidence that's been revealed.

Tucker Carlson slams Rep. Dan Crenshaw, calling him 'eye patch McCain'

Crenshaw has chided “Saturday Night Live” comic Pete Davidson for poking fun of the eyepatch he wears because he was badly wounded during his third tour in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at Houston Congressman Dan Crenshaw on Monday night for his support of sending aid to Ukraine, calling him "eye patch McCain."

Crenshaw, 38, is a retired Navy SEAL who nearly died in Afghanistan after a roadside bomb detonated and left him without his right eye. Carlson was comparing him to the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, who was considered a hawkish member of the Republican Party.

Carlson's beef with Crenshaw was rooted in a $40 billion aid package Congress is considering to help Ukraine against Russia. Carlson has opposed the United States' support of Ukraine and has said he is rooting for Russia, which invaded the neighboring country Feb. 24.

Comment: It's interesting that in the clip of the interview with Trey Gowdy, Gowdy also makes reference to the eye patch, yet isn't receiving any backlash. The point of Tucker's jab was to point out that Crenshaw is acting like a hawkish neo-con. The reason he didn't respond to the eye patch remark is likely because Crenshaw doesn't have paper-thin skin like his defenders seem to.

UK gov't doesn't know how much raw sewage is being dumped into rivers by corporations

sewage
This is where privatisation of the national water system in England and Wales has got to. The volume of raw sewage being dumped into rivers will now remain hidden from the public after the government fully rejected a recommendation by MPs that water companies should be required to measure it.

Water privatisation in Britain has been a disaster.

The Conservative government had originally proposed water privatisation in 1984 and again in 1986, but strong public feeling against the proposals led to plans being shelved to prevent the issue from influencing the 1987 general election. Having won the election, the privatisation plan was "resurrected and implemented rapidly."

Comment: Meanwhile, over in 'totalitarian' Russia, the government has enacted laws that will block profits of corporations that destroy the environment.

Intoxication can be violent crime defense, Canada supreme court rules

Canada's supreme court has ruled that defendants accused of violent crimes such as homicide and sexual assault can use self-induced extreme intoxication as a defense, striking down a federal law supported by women's advocacy groups.

The supreme court said on Friday a law passed by parliament in 1995 that prohibits the defense was unconstitutional and violates the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

"Its impact on the principles of fundamental justice is disproportionate to its overarching public benefits. It should therefore be declared unconstitutional and of no force or effect," writing for a unanimous supreme court, Justice Nicholas Kasirer said of the law.

British volunteer says he was 'manipulated' into joining the frontline in Ukraine

The Briton told RT that he came to help civilians, but was pushed into combat by Ukrainian officers

Andrew from Plymouth says he traveled to Ukraine to treat wounded civilians, but within weeks, he found himself shelled, shot, and captured. Recovering in a hospital, he told RT that he and his fellow volunteers were "manipulated" into the very duty they swore to avoid.

Andrew, a 35-year-old who worked as a scaffolder back home in Britain, was attached to a unit of Ukraine's International Legion near Nikolayev when he came under a devastating Russian artillery barrage. Russian troops fired on his position, Andrew was hit in the arm with a bullet, and he surrendered.

"I wasn't there to fight so I surrendered," he told RT. As for his teammates who fought, "They were killed," he explained.

Comment: Andrew is very fortunate. Apparently, to the Russians and DPR, his story checks out. He will be returned to Britain as soon as possible. Matters are much different when a neo nazi tries to slip by Russia. They will be detained and tried for war crimes. No exceptions.

The end of the beginning: Ukraine orders Azovstal neo nazis to surrender

Crisis-hit Sri Lanka has run out of petrol and is unable to find dollars to finance essential imports, the new prime minister said Monday in an address to the nation.

"We have run out of petrol... At the moment, we only have petrol stocks for a single day," Ranil Wickremesinghe said, warning his bankrupt country could face more hardships in the coming months.

He said the government was also unable to raise dollars to pay for three shipments of oil, with the ships awaiting out side the Colombo harbour for payments before discharging their cargoes.

Sri Lanka is in the throes of its worst-ever economic crisis with its 22 million people enduring severe hardships to secure food, fuel and medicines while facing record inflation and lengthy power blackouts.

Gov. Ron DeSantis outlaws protests outside private homes in Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday that makes it illegal to protest outside of private homes in the Sunshine State.

Violators would be given one chance to disperse after an official warning and would be subject to arrest and up to 60 days in jail if they don't comply.

DeSantis signed the law after protesters amassed at the homes of Supreme Court justices in recent weeks to lobby for the preservation of abortion rights. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett have all had protesters gather outside their Virginia homes.

DeSantis, in a statement, said:
"Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate. This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law."
Democrats have objected to the move, arguing that it's a violation of first amendment rights.
