With US and the EU locking horns over economic and political issues, only 44 percent of the French see a safe partner in Washington. An overwhelming 80 percent disapprove of the US president's record, new poll shows.

The attitudes of the French towards their most powerful ally have changed drastically since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election 2016, revealed a new survey, commissioned by France's Foundation for Political Innovation and the Sursaut think-tank collective.

The poll, conducted September 10-11, found that less than half the respondents still consider the US to be France's trusted partner. The number, although not miniscule in itself, pales in comparison to the 77 percent of the French that considered the US their country's ally in 2014, under the administration of Barack Obama.

Comment: It has been said that countries get the leaders they deserve, and France is no different: Poll shows over half "dissatisfied" with President Macron

Trutnev, who is also the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, noted the deals which were signed at previous forums, saying that in 2015 "the figure was 1.3 trillion rubles ($18.86 billion) while last year it rose to 2.5 trillion rubles ($36.27 billion)."

Among the deals agreed to was the establishment of a mining and industrial enterprise based in the Baimsky ore area in Chukotka. Asian investment GenFund will participate in Far East projects of Russian agroholding Rusagro and Nakhodka fertilizer plant.

Seven German non-league footballers have been booted out of their club after appearing to perform Nazi salutes in a team photo, supposedly as a prank.

The players, from the second team of German non-league club SC 1920 Myhl, were snapped making the shocking salutes in a team photo taken by the club's shirt sponsor, kebab shop owner Engin Arslan.

Arslan had asked the players to do "something funny" for the photo, with seven of them pulling out the provocative pose in response.

Arslan later uploaded the photo to Facebook, although he quickly removed it.

City blocks 5G cell tower installation over claims that it can cause cancer

As 5G technology begins to roll out across the country, it is being met by a massive wave of resistance over concerns that it can cause health problems. One city in California-reacting to an overwhelming outpouring of concern-has taken an extreme step and blocked the technology from being implemented.

This week, the city of Mill Valley, CA, a wealthy city just north of San Francisco, voted unanimously to effectively halt the installation of new small cell towers which carry the 5G technology.

The city enacted an "urgency ordinance" after it received over a hundred letters from concerned citizens expressing their worries over the new 5G towers.

As Tech Crunch reports:
Through an urgency ordinance, which allows the city council to immediately enact regulations that affect the health and safety of the community, the restrictions and prohibitions will be put into force immediately for all future applications to site 5G telecommunications equipment in the city. Applications for commercial districts are permitted under the passed ordinance.

The ordinance was driven by community concerns over the health effects of 5G wireless antennas. According to the city, it received 145 pieces of correspondence from citizens voicing opposition to the technology, compared to just five letters in support of it - a ratio of 29 to 1. While that may not sound like much, the city's population is roughly 14,000, indicating that about 1% of the population had voiced an opinion on the matter.

Safe refuge: South African farmers seek Russian citizenship as land seizure looms

south african farmers russia
“We have had family members who have been murdered...we have suffered crime. It’s a daily reality. That is not what I want for my children."
As South Africa mulls a constitutional amendment that would allow the expropriation of land from white farmers, one such man is seeking Russian citizenship and a new start far from his African birthplace.

RT caught up with Johannes Du Toit and his father Leon Francois during their visit to Russia's Kaluga region, located around three hours by car from Moscow. They are visiting Russia because they believe the country may become a refuge, should the situation in South Africa deteriorate further.

The Du Toit family are Afrikaners, descendants of French Protestants who fled religious persecution in Europe over three centuries ago. White people own some 70 percent of private land in South Africa, and its current government believes that confiscating it without compensation in favor of black farmers will fix the historical injustice.

Comment: While South Africa is shooting itself in the foot, Russia will no doubt gain much from the knowledge of these experienced farmers.

Cops have interviewed the man seen in the video and believe that he was not associated with the teens who robbed the store. Investigators are continuing their attempts to locate and apprehend the juvenile suspects.

Police have identified the man and the two teenagers who did not call for help when a clerk collapsed Saturday afternoon inside a Washington convenience store. The youths, however, took the opportunity to raid the cash register and steal merchandise while the stricken man was on the floor.

A surveillance camera recorded the incident at a Shell gas station in Auburn, a city 25 miles south of Seattle. The video, seen above, prompted multiple members of the public to contact police with the identities of the trio.

Comment: Fox News reports more on the situation:
The Saturday evening incident began when an adult man walked in with two teens, police said. One of the teens took a pepperoni stick from the counter and starting eating it, then gave a second one to his friend, police said. Police have identified the man and two teens, Seattle's Q13Fox reported on Tuesday.

When the man tried to purchase a different item, police said the clerk tried to also charge him for the two pepperoni sticks. An argument broke out before one of the teenagers offered the clerk a dollar bill, police said. Kelada, a father of three, circled the counter to confront the teens.

Co-workers told the station that Kelada collapsed moments later after suffering a heart attack. Police called it a medical issue.

Trans activist group calls Soviet gulag a 'compassionate', 'educational' institution

Students at a leading London university have been condemned as blind to reality after defending the system of Soviet Gulag labour camps where thousands perished as "compassionate" places of rehabilitation.

Trans rights campaigners at Goldsmiths University described the Gulags as benign places where inmates received education, training and enjoyed the opportunity to take part in clubs, sports and theatre groups.


Comment: These freaks are no different from the Nazi apologists who write off the German concentration camps as 'great places to live'. There's a special place in hell for people like them.


In fact most historians agree they were a brutal network of labour camps used by Stalin's Soviet dictatorship to incarcerate internal opponents and so-called "enemies of the state", resulting in the death of more than an estimated 1.05 million people.


Comment: See: The Gulag In Numbers: Was Stalinism Really That Bad?


During a bizarre exchange on Twitter the LGBTQ group at Goldsmiths Student Union described life in the Gulags as "rehabilitatory" and "educational".

Paradoxically the thread was written as an apparent justification for an earlier post by the same group which threatened to send a political opponent "to the gulag".

Comment: There's no better example of the pathology of the radical left than this. When it comes down to it, they will be the ones responsible for making 1984 a reality. They really do think it is 'compassionate' to 're-educate' the people who disagree with them, even if that means torturing them into submission. Gotta eliminate the 'oppressive class', after all. Gotta 'break a few eggs' to make an omelet, even if that omelet never arrives and the only result that comes from it is a stack of bodies.

Crowds moved by bald eagle's appearance at 9/11 commemoration for fallen first responders

911 bald eagle
As the US marked the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center which claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people, one commemoration ceremony had a surprisingly patriotic and unexpected guest.

The Andover Fire Department, based in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, 15 miles north of the state capital Minneapolis, used a cable suspended between two fully extended fire truck ladders to hoist a massive American flag over a freeway packed with passing cars, honking in salute of the first responders who died during the attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York.

The department's chief Jerry Streich captured the exact moment the bald eagle landed atop the fire truck's tumescent ladder. First responders and passersby lining the freeway overpass gasped in astonishment as the national symbol graced them with its presence.


"Isn't that unbelievable?" Streich says in amazement. "This eagle just landed on the aerial, while we're doing the 9/11 memorial. Phenomenal."

"There's no better symbol to represent America today than a flag - but then for an eagle to land on a fire truck holding a flag," the fire chief said. "I mean, it doesn't get much more symbolic than that."

Comment: Symbols are an important part of collective identity. They provide unity and meaning. They're also open to interpretation. Some would prefer to see the bald eagle as a symbol of everything wrong with America: its military imperialism and belligerence and worldwide predation. But that's an overly cynical view. The fact is, the American people were betrayed on 9/11, by a small group of criminals within the U.S.'s own power structure, as well as by their alleged 'ally', Israel, both in collusion with jihadists. The bald eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom, two features stolen from America by deep state attack of 9/11 and their Israeli/al-Qaeda/Saudi accomplices. As such, it's a reminder of what America could be again, if only Americans realized the depth to which they have been betrayed.

The video-sharing giant took down four Syrian state-run YouTube channels, including two channels belonging to state media and the official account of the Syrian president, amid escalating tensions in the militant-held province of Idlib and warnings by the Russian military that the White Helmets may stage a new false flag chemical attack.

Asked to comment on the shutdown, which users reported over the weekend, a YouTube spokesperson provided Sputnik with the following statement: "YouTube complies with all applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws - including with respect to content created and uploaded by restricted entities. If we find that an account violates our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, we disable it."


Comment: In other words, "we do what we're told".


Comment: The escalation in censorship is now occurring in leaps and bounds. Expect more and expect worse across the social media board as any information that contradicts or dissents with what the Empire wants people to think - will be shunted away into greater and greater realms of obscurity.

In the United States, Dr. Lisa Littman of Brown University just got an up-close look at what the trans mob looks like when your research conflicts with their ideology - her peer-reviewed paper was pulled by the gutless bureaucrats at Brown who didn't want to look un-woke. In the UK, a biological male (or transgender female) is the head of the mob - a lecturer at Goldsmiths University of London named Natacha Kennedy. From The Times:
A transgender lecturer orchestrated a smear campaign against academics across the UK in which universities were described as dangerous and accused of "hate crime" if they refused to accept activists' views that biological males can be women, it can be revealed.

Natacha Kennedy, a researcher at Goldsmiths University of London who is also understood to work there under the name Mark Hellen, faces accusations of a "ludicrous" assault on academic freedom after she invited thousands of members of a closed Facebook group to draw up and circulate a list shaming academics who disagreed with campaigners' theories on gender.
