Multipolarity: An era of great transition and creating a new future

We are living in an era of great transition. The era of the unipolar world is ending, and the era of multipolarity is coming. Changes in the global architecture of the world order are fundamental. Sometimes the processes unfold so rapidly that public thought lags behind. It is all the more important to focus on comprehending the grandiose events that are shaking humanity.

No one — except fanatics — is able to deny the fact that the West, after the collapse of the socialist system and the USSR, received a unique chance for sole global leadership, and failed in this mission. Instead of a reasonable, fair and balanced global policy, the West has turned into hegemony, neocolonialism; acting in its predatory selfish interests, using double standards, inciting bloody wars and conflicts, pitting peoples and religions against each other. This is not leadership — it is aggressive imperialism, continuing the worst traditions of the selfsame West — the principle of divide and rule, colonization; in fact, transformation into slavery.

The collapse of the leadership of the collective West is accompanied and reinforced by the precipitous moral decline of Western culture. The values forcibly and stubbornly promoted by the West — LGBT, uncontrolled migration, legalization of all kinds of perversions, culture of abolition, brutal purges and repression of all dissenters, loss of humanistic principles and readiness to move towards Artificial Intelligence domination and transhumanism — have further lowered the prestige of the West in the eyes of global humanity. The West is no longer the universal model, the supreme authority, let alone a role model.

Chaos in the Knesset as protesters storm parliament over Israel's failure to bring back hostages


Comment: Not to end the slaughter of Palestinians, to bring back Jewish hostages. Even when their country's very existence is in the balance, their sole focus is on themselves...

Major chaos ensued in the gallery above Israel's Knesset after activists and the relatives of the hostages in Gaza threw yellow paint at the glass window of the Israeli parliament.

During the demonstration which took place on Wednesday, some of the protesters covered their hands in yellow paint as well.

The protesters conducted the protest to express their frustration towards Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's administration, accusing the Israeli government of failing to ensure the speedy release of the hostages.

Comment: Note, Israelis are protesting against Netanyahu's rule, and his continued refusal to make some kind of deal for the hostages. The protests to end Israel's genocide in Gaza are much, much smaller, because the majority of Israelis, rather tellingly, support the slaughter; some even think Israel is not being diabolical enough.

Now Canada is euthanising autistic people

A father has discovered he is powerless to stop his perfectly healthy daughter being killed.

Imagine one day you discover that your adult daughter, who still lives with you, wants to be euthanised. As far as you are aware, she is healthy. She suffers from autism and ADHD, but no physical illnesses or disabilities that you know of. You know that she has faced many difficulties in her life, but you love her and desperately want to prevent her death. You are left fighting against her doctors, who encourage her decision and are perfectly happy to help her go through with this. To make this nightmare even worse, no one will even tell you why your daughter has been approved to die.

This is the awful reality facing one father in Alberta, Canada. A judge issued a ruling this week that clears the way for a 27-year-old woman, known to the court only as MV, to be accepted into Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAID) programme. Despite the attempts by her father - known as WV - to prevent this, there was really very little that could have been done. Under Canadian law, the court had no choice but to allow his daughter to be killed. According to the twisted logic of assisted-dying campaigners, this is the 'compassionate' option.

Comment: The more the MAID program is looked into, the more sick and twisted it appears to be. The fact that an individual, (from the sounds of it, a mentally unfit one) can shop around until she finds a doctor who agrees to have her put to death, after having previous doctors reject her application, is surreal and bizarre. There is clearly little-to-no value for human life.

Batman to the rescue — Masked men install protected bat boxes over ULEZ traffic cameras

Strange sightings of Batman and Robin have been occurring in London

Thousands of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) cameras have been installed to record numberplates of offending older cars so their owners can be charged £12.50 for daring to drive a non-compliant car in London. This usually means any diesel car made before 2014 or a petrol car made before 2006, so the fines especially hurt low paid workers, students and retirees.

The two masked crusaders have been seen helping the local bat population by installing homes for them in front of ULEZ cameras. Since bats are a protected species (unlike motorists) once the bat boxes are installed they can not be tampered with nor disturbed by law. Batman and Robin helpfully also place legal notices on the poles so workers coming to fix the cameras know they risk a six month jail sentence or an "unlimited" fine if they so much as touch the bat box.

The bat boxes cost £10.

Climate alarmists battle to censor film exposing 'climate crisis scam'

It's been a little over a week since "Climate: The Movie," a documentary produced by Thomas Nelson and directed by Martin Durkin, was released on Vimeo, YouTube, Rumble, and other platforms. And already, it's garnered millions of views and thousands of reviews.

"Watch this documentary to understand the lies, the pseudoscience, but also the self-interest of government-funded parasites pushing climate alarmism," Maxime Bernier, the founder and leader of the People's Party of Canada, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, about the film that details how "an eccentric environmental scare grew into a powerful global industry."

"The final nail in the coffin for the 'human-induced climate change' scam. An absolute MUST-WATCH!" Wide Awake Media posted on X while linking to the movie, which features an elite list of scientists, including Nobel Laureate John Clauser, Richard Lindzen, emeritus professor of meteorology at MIT, and Steven Koonin, a theoretical physicist and professor at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering.

Just 8% of Ukrainians ready to take up arms against Russia - pollster

Most Ukrainians expect their country to win in the armed conflict with Russia, but just 8% are willing to fight to further their cause, the head of a leading Kiev-based polling agency has claimed, in an interview published on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian leadership has said that it is seeking to boost the military's ranks by up to 500,000. Additional troops are required to relieve forces on the frontline, some of which have not been properly rotated in years, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry has claimed.

Vladimir Paniotto of the International Institute of Sociology discussed how the Ukrainian people's worldview is reflected in research conducted by his organization with local news outlet Ukrainskaya Pravda.

They tend to "wish for conflicting things," he mused, such as capitalist liberalization alongside robust social support by the state, or democracy as well as the "strong arm" of the government. The conundrum is present in what Ukrainians are willing to do to defeat Russia - an outcome that they overwhelmingly believe will end the ongoing hostilities.

"Certainly, many people are willing to act, to send donations or work as volunteers," Paniotto said. "But facing a direct risk to life and taking part in military action - that is much harder... We estimate that the share of those willing to take arms is roughly 8% across all categories."

Comment: Judging from the reports of the hard time the Ukrainian military is having filling its personnel quotas, 8% probably is an overestimate. Even if it isn't, it's one thing to say you're willing to take up arms but it's another thing entirely to actually take up arms and fight.

3rd US Circuit Court upholds Pennsylvania law rejecting undated mail-in ballots

Four years after bureaucrats tried to usurp the Pennsylvania legislature's authority by counting ballots that violated state law, a panel of Democrat-appointed judges upheld a state law that says such ballots are invalid.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Wednesday that mail-in ballots that arrive in envelopes with a missing or incorrect date are not valid, overturning a lower court's decision.

"This is a crucial victory for election integrity and voter confidence in the Keystone State and nationwide," Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. "Pennsylvanians deserve to feel confident in the security of their mail ballots, and this 3rd Circuit ruling roundly rejects unlawful left-wing attempts to count undated or incorrectly dated mail ballots."

Comment: A sensible ruling from a panel of Democratic judges. Hell just froze over . . . .

Rep. Pramila Jayapal sounds the alarm on Dem revolt against Biden, says Gaza war 'breaking our coalition'

Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal warned her fellow Democrats over the weekend that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war is fracturing the party — and it will be harder to reunite the factions the longer it rages on.

"This particular issue on Gaza is breaking our coalition," Jayapal (D-Wash.) vented to CNN's Manu Raju in a segment that aired Sunday.

"We need that fragile coalition to come back together, but this is a moral issue for people. So there's not a lot of time to fix it," she went on. "The worse it gets in Gaza, the harder it gets to bring people back in."

Jayapal chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus and had been among the earliest lawmakers to call for a cease-fire.

Kiev has lost more than 80,000 troops since January - Russian MoD

Ukrainian forces have lost more than 80,000 troops since the beginning of the year, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Tuesday, adding that the Russian military is continuing to reduce "the enemy's combat potential."

More than 14,000 pieces of military hardware have also been destroyed by Russian forces since January, including 1,200 tanks and other armored combat vehicles. During the same period, Moscow has liberated some 403 square kilometers of Russia's new territories, Shoigu told a conference call with the country's military leadership.

Despite Kiev's lack of success on the battlefield, the Ukrainian leadership "is still trying to convince its Western sponsors of its ability to resist the Russian Army," he said. To do so, Kiev has resorted to terrorism and long-range strikes on Russian territories, targeting the civilian population, the minister added.

Utah formally empowers State Treasurer to protect state funds with gold and silver

Spencer Cox
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has signed legislation explicitly empowering the state treasurer to protect state funds with an allocation to physical gold and silver.

Sponsored by Rep. Ken Ivory, House Bill 348 permits - but does not require - the Treasurer to hold up to 10 percent of certain state reserve accounts in physical gold and silver to help secure state assets against the risks of inflation and financial turmoil and/or to achieve capital gains as measured in Federal Reserve Notes.

The Treasurer has limited options for holding, managing, and investing Utah's state monies, making this legislation necessary in order for gold and silver to be included.

Utah's reserves are invested almost exclusively in corporate bonds and banking agencies. These debt instruments appear to have low volatility, but they carry other risks - including pernicious inflation and the steady erosion in real value of principal, coupled with interest rates that are often negative in real terms.
