A Tochka-U ballistic missile was launched into Donetsk, the capital of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), on Monday, officials said. The reported incident took place amid the Russia military campaign in Ukraine.

DPR military spokesman Eduard Basurin said the missile was intercepted and destroyed mid-air, but one of its explosive parts managed to hit the city. DPR defense officials reported that at least 17 people were killed and 28 wounded.

"If the missile hadn't been shot down, we'd have a lot more casualties," DPR head Denis Pushilin told the media. He added that the part of the missile fell in the center of Donetsk, not far from the main government building.

Amazon is telling employees they can work at an alternative location due to recent crime around its downtown Seattle office at 300 Pine St.

"Given recent incidents near 3rd and Pine, we're providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere. We are hopeful that conditions will improve and that we will be able to bring employees back to this location when it is safe to do so," a spokesperson said in a statement.

Bloomberg first reported the news.

There are currently 1,800 employees that work at the Amazon office, previously home to a Macy's department store and located less than a mile from its main headquarters. Amazon opened the office in 2018.

Comment: Woke Seattle is now paying the price of embracing that brand of lunacy.

Comment: In a sane world, this story would have ended up in SOTT's 'Don't Panic' section, if it even happened at all. A sad commentary on the state of hysteria gripping the West.


Commenters were shocked when the museum allegedly removed Russian mustards from its shelves

Midwestern mustard aficionados hoping to see some rare Russian condiments are out of luck, as the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin is apparently no longer exhibiting Russian mustards. According to a photo circulating online, the museum will only return the spicy dressings once Russia "recognizes and respects the sovereign nation of Ukraine."

"The Russian mustards have been temporarily removed. They will return once the invasion of Ukraine is over and Russia recognizes and respects the sovereign nation of Ukraine," read a sign apparently seen at the museum, and posted online on Sunday.

Comment: As usual innocent people are caught in the cultural cross-fire

The Tavistock clinic faces a complete overhaul after a review found that its gender identity services are "not a safe or viable long-term option" for children and young people.

The report has been hailed as a victory for whistleblowers who warned that the gender identity development service (GIDS) clinic in north London was operating outside of typical NHS safeguarding and clinical standards.

Dr Hilary Cass, a retired paediatrician, was commissioned by NHS England to investigate services at the clinic, which has been sending children as young as ten for experimental hormone treatment.

Comment: It's about time, although it remains to be seen whether this report will bring about any meaningful change.

The Russian capital has seen an anti-war protest for the second weekend in a row amid the ongoing attack on Ukraine. The Sunday demonstration had not been agreed with authorities and ended up in numerous detentions.

According to Moscow police, as cited by RIA and Interfax news agencies, around 300 protesters have been held. The law enforcement has cited "various violations of public order" as the reason for the arrests, without elaborating. Authorities also did not announce the total number of those taking part in the rally.

Authorities had taken "all the necessary measures" to "prevent" the rally, which hadn't been agreed with the city authorities as required by Russian law, police have pointed out. There were no reports about any incidents during the protest.

Comment: There's the good, the bad, and the specific situation, and, as it is, one of the hybrid warfare tactics the West uses in its attempts to destabilise a country is by hijacking protest movements. And when the security of one's nation is under attack from powerful and nefarious forces, one is forced to make tough decisions, and that includes restricting the freedom to protest: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Russian Operations in Ukraine Proceeding as Planned, But Risk of War Contagion Grows

China hit by its biggest Covid-19 outbreak

Beijing has sacked several high-ranking officials for mishandling a rise in infections

China has re-imposed some restrictions in response to its biggest spike in Covid-19 infections in two years.

The country reported nearly 3,400 new cases on Sunday, most of them locally transmitted and around a half of them asymptomatic. On Friday, the number of daily local cases surpassed 1,000 for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan in early 2020. Infections were recorded in at least 19 regions across China.

Comment: Are all "new cases" just a side effects from the massive vaccination campaign in China, or they are just trying to prolong the Corona madness so they can impose and "train" their citizens to accept even harsher authoritarian rule.

Why are leftists and elitists so happy about skyrocketing gas prices?

Stephen Colbert willing to pay as much as $15 a gallon for gas. Are you?
There is a narrative being spread within leftist/socialist circles by media celebrities and White House cronies, and it is this: Paying high prices for oil and gas is actually a GOOD thing. But why is it a good thing to these people? How do they benefit?

Spoiler Alert: It has nothing to do with punishing Russia economically.

As I write this article crude prices have somewhat stabilized around $110-$115 a barrel, which translates to a little over $4 a gallon for gas across most of the country. I don't expect this to last very long. My guess is that regular gasoline will end up in the $7 to $8 per gallon range before US shale oil roars back and balances out the market. I realize that this is a conservative estimate and perhaps a best case scenario. Gas could go much higher depending on speculation in oil markets as well as continued government interference from the Biden Administration.

The big secret is that gas prices were already going to inflate to epic highs, the Ukraine event is not a catalyst, it's just adding a little petro to the house fire. The fact is, there are some people out there that are desperate for prices to go much higher regardless of what happens in Ukraine.

Conflict in Ukraine could double Finland's food prices, economy minister warns

The West's crippling sanctions against Moscow over Russia's special operation in Ukraine may severely undermine exports of grain and key fertilisers, resulting in shortages and price hikes; Russia and Belarus are two of the top producers of fertilizer.

Finns must brace themselves for "wartime pricing", as the conflict in Ukraine may see food prices nearly double, Economy Minister Mika Lintilä has warned.

In an interview with national broadcaster Yle, Lintilä cited towering knock-on effects from steep increases in fuel and fertiliser prices.

"The price of food will rise. If 11 percent of people's income now goes to food, more than 20 percent will", Lintilä predicted.

Lintilä called the agricultural situation "already critical" and called for a support package to ensure food security.

Did flawed PCR tests convince us Covid was worse than it really was?

It has been one of the most enduring Covid conspiracy theories: that the 'gold standard' PCR tests used to diagnose the virus were picking up people who weren't actually infected.

Some even suggested the swabs, which have been carried out more than 200 million times in the UK alone, may mistake common colds and flu for corona.

If either, or both, were true, it would mean many of these cases should never have been counted in the daily tally - that the ominous and all-too-familiar figure, which was used to inform decisions on lockdowns and other pandemic measures, was an over-count.

And many of those who were 'pinged' and forced to isolate as a contact of someone who tested positive - causing a huge strain on the economy - did so unnecessarily.

Such statements, it must be said, have been roundly dismissed by top experts. And those scientists willing to give credence such concerns have been shouted down on social media, accused of being 'Covid-deniers', and even sidelined by colleagues.

But could they have been right all along?
