In a recent podcast episode, Joe Rogan welcomed Daryl Davis — a black musician and author who has been befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis in an effort to persuade them not to hate people because of their skin color. Davis said he had convinced more than 200 Klansmen to turn in their robes to him.

Also appearing in The Joe Rogan Experience episode was Bill Ottman - internet entrepreneur, free speech activist, and CEO of the blockchain-based social media network Minds.

Davis and Ottman are both involved in the "Change Minds Initiative," which argues that de-platforming people from social media only radicalizes people more. The Change Minds Initiative will attempt to "facilitate engagement, free expression, communication, and active input from parties who promote non-violence, critical thinking, creativity, and empathetic engagement."

Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. said Thursday it has received strike notice from the union representing its engineers, conductors and other train employees.

The move is the latest escalation in a labour dispute at the Calgary-based railway that could result in a potential nation-wide work stoppage as early as 1 a.m. EST on Sunday.

CP Rail indicated Wednesday night that it had issued a 72-hour notice to the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference of its plan to lock out almost 3,000 employees on Sunday, if the union and the company are unable to come to a negotiated settlement or agree to binding arbitration.

Comment: The impact of the West's proxy-war on Russia via its proxy, Ukraine, seems to be pushing economies over the edge, because it only (officially) began a few weeks ago, on February 24th, and already shelves are becoming bare, products are being rationed, the governments of the US & UK are touring the globe begging for fuel, and, as a consequence of the West's warmongering, corruption, and incompetence, that have led to the costs of living becoming unbearable, protests are, once again, erupting Also check out SOTT radio's:

Nearly 400 gallons of gas were stolen from a North Carolina gas station this week, CNN reported.

More than 15 cars pulled up and filled up their tanks after business hours after someone used a special device allowing them to bypass the payment system. Over the course of about 45 minutes, $1,600 worth of gas was stolen from the Bizzy Bee Grocery Store and Gas Station in High Point, said owner Hardik Patel.

Police were called after bystanders noticed the influx of cars at the closed station.

Ukrainian army's deadly missile attack on Donetsk residential area kills 20, including children, says war crime investigator

Officials in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) have claimed that a missile allegedly launched by Ukrainian forces on Monday was aimed at a residential area in their capital city, but was intercepted by air defense systems before reaching its target. However, a portion of the rocket still ended up falling on a densely populated area of Donetsk, killing more than 20 people, some of whom were children, and leaving at least 36 injured.

Kiev has denied responsibility for the attack, which has been barely reported by Western media, insisting it was "unmistakably a Russian rocket" and that "there's no point talking about it." However, reports from the ground suggest that the downed missile was a Tochka-U rocket, commonly used by the Ukrainian military.

This type of missile, dubbed SS-21 Scara by NATO, is a mobile launch system developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Russia has phased out its use, in favor of the newer and far superior 9K270 Iskander, which was introduced in the mid 2000s.

All U.S. Army personnel will be forced to undergo mandatory gender dysphoria training by September 30th, 2022, according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon.

The presentation, titled, "Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria" was already shown to Army officers earlier this month so that they can adequately prepare to show it to their subordinates.

Comment: The US military also seems to have adopted critical race theory, which is another deranged and explicitly racist ideology pushed by Woke scholars and activists in the far-left:

Italian newspaper responds to disinformation claims over Donetsk photo

The Italian newspaper La Stampa said on Thursday it didn't do anything wrong when it printed a frontpage image showing the aftermath of a ballistic missile strike on Donetsk, the capital of a breakaway republic in eastern Ukraine, while promising readers coverage of Russian attacks in Kiev and Lvov.

The photo was meant to demonstrate the "clear horror of the war" and not to assign blame to any particular party, editor-in-chief Massimo Giannini said in an interview with La7 TV channel, responding to criticism of his editorial choices. He said his newspaper didn't try to mislead readers, despite what detractors said.

"The thing that bothers me most and pains me a lot is that there are also some people here in Italy, some disgraced people of the web, who amplify this and call it a case of disinformation. Where is the disinformation?" he demanded.

The Wednesday print issue of the paper featured a full-page photo of a street littered with dead bodies, with a man covering his face in grief. "The Carnage," the headline read. Short text teasers promised stories further in the paper about the "traumatized children in Lvov" and "Kiev preparing for the final assault" by Russian troops.

Signs of collapse: UK gov't closes 42 Dept for Work & Pensions offices, P&O Ferries sacks 800 workers

DWP chiefs plan to close around 42 offices, with unions claiming "thousands" of jobs are at risk.

Thousands of staff were summoned to meetings at 10.30am today to be told of a major shake-up in the Department for Work and Pensions estate.

Of the 42 offices, it is understood 13 will be shut with "no other strategic site nearby" for their 1,300 workers to move to. They could lose their jobs or be shunted to another government department.

Roughly another 29 offices will shut with their 12,000 workers having to move to another site nearby.

Many of the closures are in key parts of northern England, from Blackburn and Bradford to Washington and Stockton-on-Tees.

Comment: In another sign of the dire state the UK is in, Sky News reports that P&O Ferries suddenly made 800 staff redundant, only to replace them with cheaper, temporary contracted workers:
Crew on all ships have been asked to discharge their passengers and cargo and "standby for further instructions", but one union has told its members to stay on board.

P&O Ferries has made 800 of its staff redundant, effective immediately, and cancelled all its services for the next few days.

The move - to plug a £100m year-on-year black hole in the company's finances - is believed to affect everyone from captains to check-in staff, to engine room staff, loaders and cleaners.

Unions have called for mobilisation and branded the redundancies "a knife right through the heart of UK maritime".

The company said these staff will be served with "enhanced" severance packages, calling it a "necessary decision" to protect its remaining 2,200 staff.

It said the business is "not viable" in its current state.

In a statement, the ferry operator said: "We have made a £100m loss year-on-year, which has been covered by our parent DP World. This is not sustainable. Our survival is dependent on making swift and significant changes now.

"Without these changes, there is no future for P&O Ferries."

People in balaclavas 'taking British crew' off ships

Following the announcement, Labour MP Diana Johnson said people in balaclavas had been seen "taking British crew" off of the ships.

Making a point of order in the House of Commons, the Kingston upon Hull North MP described P&O's actions as "shameful" and warned they will have a "major economic impact on places like the Humber".

She said the staff who have been made redundant were being replaced by agency staff in buses on the quayside.


RMT representative Gaz Jackson told Sky News that he had been aboard one of the vessels when the news broke.

He said officers were played one Zoom video and given the chance to join the new company that will carry on the service, while ratings were played a different Zoom video and not given the same opportunity.


RMT general secretary Mick Lynch confirmed he had been receiving reports of security guards at Dover seeking to board ships with handcuffs to remove crew.

He said the union is seeking "urgent legal action" and called for the government to "take action to stop what is fast turning into one of the most shameful acts in the history of British industrial relations".

"If this happens at P&O it can happen anywhere, and we are calling for mass trade union and wider public mobilisation and protest against the company," Mr Lynch added.

Union members advised to stay onboard

RMT national secretary Darren Procter said the move by P&O Ferries "puts a knife right through the heart of UK maritime".

Meanwhile, Nautilus International union's general secretary Mark Dickinson said the union believes it is "in our members' best interests to stay onboard" until further notice.

He added: "The news that P&O Ferries is sacking the crew across its entire UK fleet is a betrayal of British workers.

"It is nothing short of scandalous given that this Dubai owned company received millions of pounds of British taxpayers' money during the pandemic"


And once the public funds were withdrawn, they decided it was time for restructuring.


'Significant disruption' expected as long queues seen in Dover

Lorry queues have been building up around Dover following the suspension of services.

P&O warned there would be "significant disruption" across its ferries services over the next few days but said it was working to minimise impact on customers.

Morgan Ryan told Sky News he arrived at Larne in Northern Ireland with his family for the 8am sailing to Cairnryan - having been up since 4am - when they noticed people being turned away.

"We got to the front of the queue and a P&O staff member informed us all services had been suspended."

He said they were directed to Belfast and assured all bookings had been rearranged with another company.

"Of course, when we got there they had no knowledge of any arrangement and had not received any contact from P&O."

Having paid €420 (£360) for the original booking, the family had to pay an additional £320 for the replacement trip.

Government 'concerned' at suspension

Earlier on Thursday, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said his officials will be having "urgent discussions" with P&O Ferries as he expressed concern at the suspension of sailings.

The company, which transports passengers and freight, is owned by Dubai-based logistics giant DP World and operates four routes: Dover to Calais; Hull to Rotterdam; Liverpool to Dublin; and Cairnryan, Scotland, to Larne, Northern Ireland.

Following the coronavirus outbreak, P&O Ferries warned in May 2020 that around 1,100 workers could lose their jobs as part of a plan to make the business "viable and sustainable".
Judging by similar events across much of the West, the collapse is accelerating:

Biden plan to close city VA hospitals is thumb-in-the-eye to our vets

A local Vietnam veteran and double amputee credited the Brooklyn VA Medical Center for having saved his life. Another veteran who suffers from PTSD relies on the counseling he receives to get through his days.

Still other veterans in our city depend on these specialized hospitals for critical health services, ranging from suicide prevention to cancer treatment, emergency care and even vocational rehabilitation.

A reported 26% of all veterans nationwide have some sort of service-related disability, and the number increases to about 40% for younger veterans who served post-9/11. They depend greatly on VA medical services.

Veterans who are taken by ambulance to VA hospitals, for example, are 20% more likely to survive than those taken to non-VA hospitals, and that survival rate increases even more for black and Latino veterans. Veterans who take advantage of the VA's peer-to-peer treatment programs are more likely to go to their appointments, seek out other treatment methods and meet "other important health benchmarks."

That's why it's so shocking and disturbing that the Biden administration's Department of Veteran Affairs is recommending that two of New York City's local VA hospitals be closed and that another share services with a medical campus in another state.

Humanitarian flights for Ukraine loaded with weapons, protesting airport workers claim

© Braking Latest NewsPisa, Italy: The cargo NOT on the planes to Ukraine
Airport workers in Italy claim "humanitarian" cargo from Pisa was actually aimed at fuelling the conflict.

One of Italy's largest trade unions has called for a protest outside the Pisa airport on Saturday, after receiving a tip from some employees that Ukraine relief flights were transporting weapons and ammunition, not food and medicine.

Several workers at the Galileo Galilei airport refused to load one of the cargo flights advertised as carrying humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The crates did not contain food and medication but weapons, ammunition and explosives instead, the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) said in a statement on Monday evening.

"We strongly denounce this outright falsification, which cynically uses 'humanitarian' aid as cover to fuel the war in Ukraine," the USB said.

Comment: Pisa responded:
PRC: "The Minister of Defense reports to Parliament"

Maurizio Acerbo, national secretary of the Communist Refoundation, Ciccio Auletta, councilor for 'Rights in the Municipality' and Giovanni Bruno of the federation of Pisa, said in a note:
"We want answers and clarifications. Citizens have the right to know what kind of military operations their country is conducting, especially when a city lends its airports, becoming a direct protagonist of the conflict on the one hand and a potential target on the other. The Pisa episode is very serious, and bitterly confirms our concerns.
"For this reason, together with the deputies of the ManifestA group we have already asked the Minister of Defense to report in the classroom and prepared a parliamentary question. We will also question Mayor Conti because it is not permissible that those who govern the city do not know, do not say or do not care about what is happening and that concerns us all."
