A group of parents have accused the state of New Jersey of "secretly retaining" their newborn babies' blood in a "creepy database" without their consent.

In a news release, the non-profit, public interest law firm the Institute for Justice revealed that a class-action federal lawsuit has been filed challenging the state's alleged practice of keeping newborns' blood samples in New Jersey for up to 23 years.

The lawsuit names two people from the New Jersey Department of Health and one person from the Division of Family Health Services as defendants.

Seven members of a paedophile gang who posed as "witches and wizards" have been found guilty of running a "monstrous" child sex abuse ring in a Glasgow drugs den.

In what the NSPCC called one of the worst cases in recent decades, 11 alleged members of a paedophile gang faced a string of charges against three children.

Seven members were found guilty of sexual assault and rape by a jury at Glasgow High Court on Tuesday.

Comment: Abominable exposés such as these appear to be on the rise, and sinister beings such as these have been found in all levels of society; and it seems that, now, more than ever, 'hell is empty and all the devils are here':

UK's vaccine advisors push for children to be given chickenpox vaccine, despite NHS concerns it will cause outbreaks of shingles in adults

child vaccine
The chickenpox vaccine has been given in other countries for many years but the NHS has always said there is a worry that introducing it in the UK could increase the risk of chickenpox and shingles in adults.

The chickenpox vaccine should be introduced on the NHS for children, scientists advising the government have recommended.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said the jab should be given to youngsters in two doses when they are aged 12 months and 18 months.


Comment: This is the same committee that, based on their risk-benefit analysis, rejected calls to give the Covid injection to children and young adults, which the government then overruled; their research and conclusions into this issue were kept secret.


It said data from countries suggests the vaccine - also known as the varicella jab - would dramatically reduce circulating chickenpox and prevent most severe cases in children.

Comment: It's likely that some vaccines are beneficial, however the contrived coronavirus crisis has exposed the egregious incompetence and sinister corruption that plagues healthcare institutions, and one would do well to bear this in mind when proposals such as these are put forth:

US beef prices hit record high as nation's cattle herd expected to shrink through 2025

beef prices
Brazilian processor Marfrig Global Foods SA warned the US cattle herd will continue shrinking through the midpoint of the decade. Less supplies will pressure meatpackers and keep the prices of steak and hamburgers at elevated levels.

During a conference call, Tim Klein, the head of Marfrig's North American operation, explained the availability of fattened animals for meatpackers to slaughter and process should trough between 2025 and 2026. He said this is because ranchers have not yet started keeping cows for breeding.

As we've noted, years of drought and high feed costs forced ranchers across the Midwest to send the cows to slaughterhouses, leading to a sharp reduction in the nation's overall herd size. In January, the beef cow herd size was the smallest since 1962.

Tight supplies of cattle have hurt the profits of meatpackers, including Tyson Foods Inc. and JBS SA:
National Beef Inc., Marfrig's US unit, saw adjusted earnings before items such as taxes and interest more than halve in the third quarter from a year ago to $150 million, according to a statement from the company on Monday. Tyson Foods Inc. and JBS SA posted results earlier that were largely affected by lower profits in their US beef operations. -Bloomberg

Comment: Also consider the push to ban meat and have everyone eat insects 'because environment' by the media and government. It seems this is no accident. See also:

German electricity 3 times more expensive

Firstly Blackout News reports how Germany's electricity price is three time higher than it is in USA:
The German electricity price is three times as high as in the USA. Criticism is being voiced about Germany's energy policy. Financial expert Jan Viebig criticizes the fact that the phase-out of coal and nuclear energy is not well coordinated with the European Union. Energy policy has three main objectives: low prices, security of supply and environmental protection with regard to CO₂ emissions. German energy policy performs poorly in all three areas (Focus: 03 November 2023)."

Three Syrian servicemen were killed on the evening of 13 November while repelling an ISIS attack in northern Syria's Raqqa desert.

"Units of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and auxiliary forces were able to repel an attack carried out by ISIS militants on a number of military points in the Jaedin area (50 km from the town of Rusafa) in the desert of Raqqa, on the administrative border with Homs Governorate," a field source told Sputnik.

"A group of ISIS militants infiltrated the military point (No. 10) and attacked its members with hand grenades and medium weapons, which led to the martyrdom of a Syrian army officer with the rank of first lieutenant and two other soldiers, as well as the wounding of a number of others," it added.

Israel destroying Palestinian economy - UN

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has had a devastating economic effect on the West Bank and Gaza, where GDP has shrunk by 4.2% in the month since fighting erupted, according to a report by the UN. It added that 400,000 people have been plunged into poverty during the same period.

According to a document released on Thursday by the UN Development Program and the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the "shock" to Palestinian economic activity has been severe. It cited the total siege of Gaza, the destruction of capital, forced displacement, and restrictions on the movement of people and goods in the West Bank.

If the war continues for a second month, Palestinian GDP, which was $20.4 billion before the war started, would drop by 8.4%, or $1.7 billion, the UN projected. Should the conflict extend to a third month, the loss would rise to 12.2% of GDP, or $2.5 billion, pushing more than 660,000 people into poverty.

Preliminary calculations point to a potential GDP loss of up to 15% for a three-month war compared with the level projected for 2023 before the conflict.

Comment: Genocide has a way of eliminating the need for GDP altogether.

Broken by design: Why the elites want everything and everyone to have an expiration date

Is planned obsolescence of products, services and talent part of a creative destruction process under the New Normal?

"They don't make them like they used to anymore" is an ancient lament that has resonated through the ages in various forms. It applies both to humans and their material outputs. The Greek philosopher Socrates had this to say of the youths of his day, circa 470 BC:
"Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannise their teachers. Children are now tyrants."
Juvenile absolutists can indeed become thorns in the societal flesh. Think of the routine theatrics of a young Scandinavian "environmentalist" who is on a mission to save humanity? Hobnobbing with leaders who wage "eco-friendly" wars seems to be part of that salvation process.

The prophet Isaiah, who preceded Socrates by three centuries, summed up this absurdity very well (Isaiah 3:12):
"My people - children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths."
So, are we living in an era where humanity is being led along a tragic 'course in their paths'? How are our median economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal and technological conditions faring? An argument can be made that the malaise is systemic and global. Technology, in particular, is universally gauged by the quality of products but these now generate a daily tsunami of scathing reviews and complaints. Household products and popular gadgets are becoming more fragile and less durable by the day in spite of their "energy efficiency" and "eco-friendly" stamps.

It's impossible to create a working European security architecture when most states are controlled by an outside actor with no direct skin in the game.

The 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, a curious creation of the post-Cold War era, has ceased to exist.

At the time it was created, the self-proclaimed victors of that period - the United States and NATO - were feverishly seeking ways to make their triumph at least a little civilized, while the defeated USSR was trying to make it less humiliating. The result of these equally futile efforts was a document doomed to be a short and rather inglorious footnote in history. A year later, the Soviet Union - and the Warsaw Pact it had led - ceased to exist.

Pentagon buying Russian oil via Greek intermediaries - WaPo

Some of the petroleum products contracted by the US Department of Defense through suppliers in Greece and Türkiye may have Russian origin, despite Western sanctions that set price caps on them.

Source: This was indicated in an investigation by The Washington Post, as reported by European Pravda

Details: As the outlet stated, the supply of petroleum products under Pentagon contracts for servicing the US military was carried out through the Greek oil refinery Motor Oil Hellas on the Aegean coast.

After the imposition of sanctions on Russian oil, it began to flow not directly to the plant, but through an intermediary, a Turkish oil terminal in the city of Dörtyol, after which Russian oil was mixed and poured over several tankers to hide its origin.

Comment: This has been an necessary trick Western nations have been engaging in since the beginning of the sanctions regime - with gas supplies too - and the fact that they themselves can't abide by them reveals just how vulnerable their position is:
