Visa, Mastercard join PayPal in cutting off all services to Russia
The companies’ move to terminate services in the Russian Federation comes amid a global push, driven by major companies from different sectors around the world, to restrict the Russian economy amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Visa and Mastercard, two of the world’s largest payment service providers, have announced that they have ceased all operations in Russia effective immediately, with transactions to cease over the coming days — joining PayPal in the corporate-driven move to sanction the country.
Once the cessation of services is complete, all cards issued within Russia will no longer work outside the country, and any cards issued outside Russia will no longer work within the Russian Federation, it said.
U.S. State Department warns Americans to leave Russia 'immediately'
March 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department warned U.S. citizens Saturday to leave Russia "immediately."
"U.S. citizens should depart Russia immediately," the department warned in a Level 4 Do Not Travel Advisory, which is the highest level advisory on a 1-4 level ranking.
The advisory said that "due to the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces in Ukraine," there is potential for Russian officials to harass U.S. citizens, and they may also have problems accessing money.
US ‘works’ with Poland to send jets to Ukraine – media
Kiev pleaded with the West to help it fend off the ongoing Russian attack
The White House has told a number of US media outlets that Washington does not mind if Poland supplies Ukraine with some of its old Soviet-era warplanes to help repel the ongoing Russian invasion. “We are also working on the capabilities we could provide to backfill Poland if it decided to transfer planes to Ukraine,” the spokesperson said on Saturday

Vandals threw blue and yellow paint at the building in yet another Russophobic attack
The Russian Community Centre in Vancouver, Canada was vandalized by pro-Ukraine activists on Saturday, leaving locals in tears.

Israel PM Meets Putin on Ukraine in 'Risky' Diplomatic Gamble
Israel's premier stepped into the role of mediator Saturday as Russia's invasion of Ukraine intensified, holding a three-hour meeting at the Kremlin with Vladimir Putin before calling Ukraine's president and flying to Berlin.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's sit-down with Putin was the first by foreign leader since the day Russian forces invaded Ukraine last week, and came after Kyiv had asked Israel to launch a dialogue with Moscow.
Bennett has so far walked a cautious line on the Ukraine conflict, seeking to preserve delicate security cooperation with Russia, which has a large military presence in Israel's northern neighbor, Syria.
Bennett has not joined Western leaders — notably key ally the United States — in forcefully condemning the invasion, instead stressing Israel's strong relations with both Russia and Ukraine.
Putin Draws Red Line, Warns That Any Nation Crossing It Will Be Considered Part of the Conflict
Noting that if Ukraine keeps fighting for freedom it puts its own statehood at risk, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned already jittery Western nations on Saturday not to actively intervene in his conquest and that in his eyes, countries that enforce sanctions against Russia are his enemies.
NATO on Friday rejected calls from Ukraine to enforce a no-fly zone over the war-ravaged nation after Russia invaded last week, according to The New York Times. NATO nations have expressed the fear that direct military confrontation could lead to a wider war.
CHD Says Pfizer and FDA Dropped Data Bombshell on COVID Vaccine Consumers
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Washington, DC, March 03, 2022 — In a 55,000-page set of documents released on Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is for the first time allowing the public to access data Pfizer submitted to FDA from its clinical trials in support of a COVID-19 vaccine license. This follows U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman’s decision on January 6 to deny the request from the FDA to suppress the data for the next 75 years which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited resources.”
A 38-page report included in the documents features an Appendix, “LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST,” that lists 1,291 different adverse eventsfollowing vaccination
Exclusive: The federal government paid hundreds of media companies to advertise the COVID-19 vaccines while those same outlets provided positive coverage of the vaccines
In response to a FOIA request filed by TheBlaze, HHS revealed that it purchased advertising from major news networks including ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as cable TV news stations Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, legacy media publications including the New York Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post, digital media companies like BuzzFeed News and Newsmax, and hundreds of local newspapers and TV stations. These outlets were collectively responsible for publishing countless articles and video segments regarding the vaccine that were nearly uniformly positive about the vaccine in terms of both its efficacy and safety.
Hundreds of news organizations were paid by the federal government to advertise for the vaccines as part of a "comprehensive media campaign," according to documents TheBlaze obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services.
Exclusive — Josh Mandel: Canada Was ‘Beta Test’ for Despotic Government, Big Tech, Banks; ‘They’re Coming Here Next’
Josh Mandel said oppression of political dissidents in Canada was a “beta test” for incoming persecution of their American counterparts on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Coordination between the Canadian government, technology companies, and the country’s largest banks to harm participants and supporters of the Freedom Convoy is a preview of what can happen in the United States, Mandel warned.
“When you look at what Trudeau did, you look at what the Big Tech companies, you look at what the big banks did up there — they’re coming here next,” Mandel stated, cautioning his audience of the past as prologue. “I’m saying this to your listeners, they are coming after us next. The infrastructure is there. The beta test is complete, and next is against the American people.”

Images and Research Reveal How Cell Phones and Other Wireless “Wi-Fi” Radiation Sources Affect Brain
All “Smart” and wireless sources (devices and infrastructure) expose us to radiation which can cause undesirable symptoms as well as serious illnesses and injuries. Manufacturers are required to provide warnings about radiation emissions from all “Smart” and wireless products; however, these warnings aren’t necessarily easy to locate or understand. In regard to the brain, research has determined that wireless exposure can disrupt the blood-brain barrier, cause it to leak, and also kill brain cells (see 1, 2). Got pets? Exposure can affect them too.
Students at Ivy League university reject school’s $25k incentive program in exchange for vaccine records
PHILADELPHIA (LifeSiteNews) — The University of Pennsylvania has offered a monetary incentive to students to share their personal vaccination record against the flu and COVID.
But as of March 1, only 60 percent of students across all four classes had shared with the university their vaccine papers, not enough in any class year to get the money offered by Penn.
Dying Australian mother of five told her children can’t visit in her final days under COVID hospital rules
(LifeSiteNews) — Due to Western Australia’s new so-called COVID measures, a terminally ill 47-year-old mother of five was informed that her children are not allowed to visit her in the hospital.
Despite her entire family being vaccinated against COVID-19, Jo Gittos was told that due to the state of Western Australia’s “red alert” restrictions for hospitals, her children and her mother will not be allowed to visit during what are likely her final weeks to live.
Vaccines that spread themselves, a Covid “Solution”
With evidence surfacing on social media of spike proteins and graphene in Covid injections being transmitted from the “vaccinated” to the “unvaccinated” many have expressed disbelief that this is possible. This concept may be new to us but it is not new to those who are developing the Covid injections.
One of the earliest mentions, during the Covid era, that self-spreading vaccines could be used to stop a coronavirus pandemic was on 31 January 2020 in the Telegraph.
The Telegraph sets the, overly dramatic, scene by beginning with:
“The streets have emptied in Wuhan, the sprawling capital of China’s Hubei province. Masked citizens, check points, and contamination zones have made the city seem more like a post-apocalyptic nightmare than a home to 11 million people.
Nancy Pelosi Goes Viral for Strange Hand-Rubbing Behind Biden: She 'Almost Shape Shifted'
The State of the Union speech is sometimes more memorable for the reactions of those in attendance than it is for what the president says. If that ends up being the case for the 2022 edition of the address, the reaction in question will probably belong to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi, seated in her usual perch behind the president, went viral after she stood up and smiled while rubbing her fists together during an entirely inappropriate part of the speech — one that dealt with veterans who inhaled toxic fumes.
AND THERE IT IS: Biden Asks for Billions for COVID and Ukraine – Where Will This Money Really Go?
Biden now wants billions more for Ukraine and COVID. He must think we forgot about one of his last transactions in Ukraine.
In 2015, Ukrainian prosecutor Victor Shokin was looking into Burisma, an oil and gas company where Hunter Biden was on the Board. Joe Biden later bragged how he got Shokin stopped from further investigating Hunter and Burisma. Biden withheld a billion in aid to get Shokin fired and he bragged about it.

A species of giant and invasive parachuting spiders is expected to blanket the east coast
According to experts, the Joro — a 3-inch invasive spider species from Japan — will likely soon blanket the entire east coast of the United States. Joros were originally spotted in the United States in Georgia, and it is unknown how the species first made its way here; however, most experts guess that it likely arrived stowed away inside a shipping container.
According to reports, The spider is much larger than the average spider, commonly reaching up to 3 inches in diameter, and can float around in the air using a parachute made from its webbing material. The species has largely been contained to the southeastern portion of the United States since its arrival;
Wall Street Is Quietly Trading For The Return Of Russia
For holders of Russian equities, the past week has been nothing short of a surreal, modern-day version of Dante's 10th circle of hell, where in the span of just a few days virtually all Russian stocks have seen their value wiped out as a result of a barrage of western sanctions that have disconnected Russian equities from global capital markets and money flows, nowhere more visibly than in the stock of Russian Novatek PJSC,
Russia's second-largest natural gas producer and the world's seventh-largest publicly traded company by natural gas production volume, which collapsed from $215 on Feb 16, to 65 cents a few days later.
'I'm Asking Media to Stop Lying and Tell the Truth About Donbass,' Pleads Turkish Donetsk Resident
While the mainstream media have brought their primary focus on Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, Kiev's eight-year war against Ukrainian civilians in the breakaway Donbass republics remains invisible. An unnamed Turkish citizen who has lived and worked in Donetsk for 17 years has lifted the veil on the region's prolonged suffering.
The Ukrainian army's war against Donbass has been going on, unseen for the world, since 2014, says an unnamed Turkish national, who agreed to share his experience on condition of anonymity.
"Precincts of Donetsk, which are not far from the border with Ukraine, had routinely been subjected to bombardments," says the Donetsk resident. "Shells also fell in the center of the city; at first the bombings were carried out by warplanes. Now the attacks continue, nothing has changed dramatically since that time, they continue to shell us."
