Lavrov: If Russia Returns to Work With the West, It Will Be Carried Out on New Principles
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - If and when Russia returns to joint work with the West, it will be conducted on new principles, the old approaches no longer work, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Sputnik.
"One of the lessons is that if and when we return to joint work, then it will have to be conducted on a new basis, as the old approaches no longer work," Lavrov said.
After the start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, the West stepped up sanctions pressure on Russia, which led to an increase in prices for electricity, fuel and food in Europe and the United States.
Russian foreign minister warns US against assassinating Putin
Sergey Lavrov claims US planning 'decapitation strike' to take out Putin, describes 'consequences of such plans.'
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned the United States on Tuesday about using a “decapitation strike” to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.
In a lengthy interview with the Tass state news agency, Lavrov spoke about the alleged plot by the US to kill Putin.
“Some ‘unnamed officials’ from the Pentagon essentially threatened to carry out a ‘decapitation strike’ against the Kremlin,” he said. “Basically, we are talking about a threat to physically eliminate the head of the Russian government.”

Lviv & Kiev Plunged Into Darkness After 'Massive' Missile Attack; Ukrainian S-300 Lands In Belarus
Ukraine has been hit with a "massive" attack of over 120 missiles across the country Thursday, its military and presidency's office said. "December 29. Massive missiles attack... The enemy is attacking Ukraine from various directions with air and sea-based cruise missiles from strategic aircraft and ships," Ukraine's air force said in a public statement.
It marks the largest barrage of missiles since there was weekend talk from both sides of mutual 'openness' in getting to the negotiating table. Ukrainian leadership floated the proposal of UN-brokered talks by the end of February, but its insistence on Russian officials facing a war crimes tribunal first was seen in Moscow as not serious and a non-starter.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with representatives of the Kosovo Serbs on Wednesday and asked them to dismantle roadblocks they had erected, Belgrade’s commissioner for Kosovo, Petar Petkovic, has told a press conference.

Seoul vows to ‘punish’ North Korea
South Korea says it will spend more than $440 million to bolster its defenses against drone attacks
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has instructed security officials to “punish” North Korea for any future “provocations,” saying they must not fear Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal following a major security breach earlier this week.
Addressing members of his cabinet and the National Security Office on Wednesday, Yoon urged for harsher retaliation for North Korean military action, citing an incident on Monday which saw five unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) loiter over South Korea for several hours.
Will Yoav Gallant's second coming herald an Israel attack on Iran? - analysis
Will this be Yoav Gallant and Benjamin Netanyahu's best chance to redo their missed opportunity in 2010 and attack Iran?
That Likud MK Yoav Gallant will be the next defense minister is not really news, seeing as it was leaked weeks ago. What could be news is whether Gallant entering the defense minister’s chair with a set of 12-year-old demons to exorcise could finally lead to the climactic war with Iran that many have predicted for a long time.
What demons of the past might Gallant be contending with, and why might the decision of incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to appoint him as the new defense minister usher in an era of escalation against the Islamic Republic?

Southwest Cancels Another 2,500 Flights As 'Atmospheric River' Pounds West Coast
Southwest Airlines canceled more than 2,500 flights on Wednesday. A leaked memo from the airline outlined a staffing crisis ahead of Christmas weekend, along with a powerful winter storm -- all contributed to the worst operational mishap the airline has ever seen. Southwest has yet to recover as flight disruptions persist nationwide, despite all other carriers having normalized operations. Another weather event developing across the West Coast could further complicate air travel.
World Economic Forum Drops Twitter – Promotes Chinese State-Controlled Social Media Apps Instead
The World Economic Forum noticeably omitted Twitter as a source to follow its actions at its upcoming 2023 event. Instead, Chinese apps were recommended instead.
Twitter appears to be moving in the right direction. The elites at the World Economic Forum have censored the Big Tech site as a recommended site to obtain updates on their 2023 activities.

Update (1500ET): The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday that the US will require travelers from China to submit a negative COVID-19 test.

The Biden Cabal's 'Vax Everything To Death Genocide Op' Used 'Big Tech' To Ensure Americans Were Clueless Before They Were Maimed Or Killed By The Jabs The Eugenicists Knew Were Deadly
MSM putting out stories blaming sudden deaths on everything from sugar to climate change
All the way back on May 25th of 2020, Dr. Joseph Mercola put out a tweet on twitter stating "N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione may be a useful adjunct in COVID-19 treatment due to the role they play in combating oxidative stress. NAC may also combat the abnormal blood clotting seen in many cases," one of many tweets/videos that got him censored and/or banned by youtube, twitter and other 'big tech' outlets for 'spreading misinformation,' actually INFORMATION, that the world knows now was in fact TRUTH.
Depopulation via Mass Vaccination: Tetanus Vaccine May Be Laced With Anti-Fertility Drug
Wake up! They've been doing it for years ...

The Case for Wearing Masks Forever
A ragtag coalition of public-health activists believe that America’s pandemic restrictions are too lax—and they say they have the science to prove it.
Last December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it was shortening the recommended isolation period for those with COVID-19 to five days. Getting exposed to the virus no longer meant that people needed to quarantine, either, as long as they were fully vaccinated and wore a mask. It was a big moment, and it occurred just as the Omicron variant was surging. Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a professor of urban policy and health at the New School, was livid.
Remember the swine flu scare from 1976....
WEF Orders Public To Bathe ‘Once a Week or Less’ To Save the Planet
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is now urging the public to shower less than once a week in the interests of combatting “climate change.”
In a public service announcement to the German public, state broadcaster WDR informedviewers that washing once a week is necessary to meet the goals outlined by the globalist elites as part of their Great Reset agenda.
Impending Apocalypse: Where Religion and Science Meet
Secular scientists are now predicting an “end times” that resembles that of the Bible. The only problem is they aren’t offering any hope.
Can it be that the hostility toward Christian, Jewish and Muslim belief in some kind of catastrophic end to the world as we know it is nothing more than an expression of prejudice? While it is true that almost all religious end-times predictions are mere speculation, the latest being the September 23 “prophecy,” that doesn’t mean belief in a doomsday is false. The very same is true of science’s repeated predictions of a “natural” doomsday. Though leading scientists have wrongly predicted impending global catastrophes of various kinds, their hastiness doesn’t mean that mass extinction for one reason or another is a false scenario altogether.
Four Rabbis Find Yeshua (Jesus)
An in-depth look at the birth of the modern Messianic Jewish movement when a group of rabbis find Jesus by exploring Scripture.
For 1,400 years, between the 4th and 18th centuries, there was not a single Messianic Jewish church or congregation on earth. Then suddenly, in the late 17th century, in a sovereign and supernatural way, the Holy Spirit began to bring Jews back to their Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). It was like a resurrection from the dead!
The first event that we know about happened in a small town in southern Poland, Pinczow (near Krakow), around the year 1680. Four well-known rabbis – Rabbi Krokeffer and Rabbi Sender, both from what is now the Czech Republic, and Rabbi Chaija Chajon from Turkey met with the Chief Rabbi of Pinczow, interestingly called by his people “Rabbi Megalleh Amukkoth” (the one who discovers deep mysteries).
Every planet in the solar system will be visible tonight in rare “planet parade”
The planets of the solar system will be lined up in the sky Wednesday night in an astronomical phenomenon, visible from Earth, known as a “planet parade.”
The phenomenon, which was also visible Tuesday night, gives skywatchers a good view of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn with the naked eye. With a pair of binoculars or a telescope, Uranus and Neptune can also be seen.
The planet parade is not an extremely rare occurrence — it tends to happen at least every couple of years. In fact, the eight-planet alignment last happened in June.
If WEF directs no bathing, they will become much easier to detect. I'm reminded of a scene in the film Book of Eli, where Eli detects an ambush 10 yards away because of the shortages of soap and water. When will they declare hygiene as racist?
And still we are blindly taking orders from the WEF. Why is that?
