Ukrainian Drone Strikes Target Russian Oil Refineries Again Despite White House Pleas
Just days after the Biden administration signed a new military aid package worth billions of dollars to Ukraine, Kyiv launched a series of suicide drone attacks on Russian oil refineries.
Biden's top officials have pleaded with Kyiv to stop attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure because of the fears that turmoil in crude markets would send pump prices in the US higher ahead of the presidential elections in November. "Our region is again under attack by Ukrainian UAVs," Smolensk Governor Vasily Anokhin wrote in a post on Telegram on Wednesday.
US has no Patriots to spare for Ukraine – White House
American air defense capabilities are stretched around the globe, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has claimed
Washington is not willing to risk undermining its own security, but the US government is working around the clock to pressure the EU, NATO and other partners to share their air defense capabilities with Kiev instead, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has said. Addressing the virtual meeting of the so-called Ukraine Defense Contact Group on Friday, President Vladimir Zelensky demanded “at least seven” Patriot batteries from his sponsors, but Kiev’s main backer allegedly has none to spare.

George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests
George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide. Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CNN on Friday it could be possible to roll out a framework for the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia along with a two-state solution proposal for Israel and the Palestinian Arabs before a Gaza ceasefire is in place, marking a reversal in the order of events that US officials had previously expected to follow. “Certainly that’s, that’s possible,” Blinken said. “Ceasefire or not we’ll continue to make these possibilities known.
Hamas says it has received, will study Israel’s latest response in truce negotiations
Hamas has received Israel’s official response to its latest truce proposal and will study it before submitting its reply, the group’s deputy Gaza chief says in a statement.
“Hamas has received today the official response of the Zionist occupation to the proposal presented to the Egyptian and the Qatari mediators on April 13,” Khalil Al-Hayya, who is currently based in Qatar, says in a statement published by the group.

Bank Failures Begin Again: Philly's Republic First Seized By FDIC
Who could have seen that coming? (here, here, here, and most detailed here)
Admittedly, we were a couple of weeks off, but trouble has been brewing in the banking sector and tonight - after the close - we get the first bank failure of the year. The FDIC just seized the troubled Philadelphia bank, Republic First Bancorp and and struck an agreement for the lender’s deposits and the majority of its assets to be bought by Fulton Bank. Republic Bank had about $6 billion of assets and $4 billion of deposits at the end of January, according to the FDIC (considerably smaller than the $100-200BN assets with SVB and Signature). The FDIC estimated the failure will cost the deposit insurance fund $667 million.
Bird Flu, Censorship & 100 Day Vaccines: 7 Predictions for “The Next Pandemic”
Earlier this month the White House published its new “Pandemic Preparedness” targets.
They are far from alone in covering this. Back in March, Sky News was asking: “Next pandemic is around the corner,’ expert warns – but would lockdown ever happen again?” On April 3rd, the Financial Times asked something similar: “The next pandemic is coming. Will we be ready?” Less than an hour ago, the Daily Mail invited us inside “the world’s deadliest cave that could cause the next pandemic”. Just two days ago a professional panic spreader wrote for CNN: The next pandemic threat demands action now!!!
FDA approves Pfizer’s first gene therapy for rare inherited bleeding disorder
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday announced that the agency approved Pfizer’s treatment for a rare genetic bleeding disorder, making it the company’s first gene therapy to win clearance in the U.S.
The agency greenlighted the drug, which will be marketed as Beqvez, for adults with moderate to severe hemophilia B who meet certain requirements. The treatment will be available by prescription to eligible patients this quarter, a Pfizer spokesperson told CNBC. It has a hefty $3.5 million price tag before insurance and other rebates, the spokesperson added, making it by far one of the most expensive drugs in the U.S.
Germany Passes Gender Self-Identification Law Allowing INFANTS To Transition, Imposes Massive Fine For “Deadnaming”
The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world’s most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women’s rights campaigners.
The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes ‘gender identity’ as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children’s documents from birth. Supported by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition and promoted and supported by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the SBGG also creates the potential for citizens to be fined up to €10,000 (approx. $10,800 USD) for revealing a person’s given name and birth sex without their permission – an action that trans activists staunchly oppose and refer to as ‘deadnaming.’
Canadian Government to Give $110 Million+ to The ‘2SLGBTQI+’
The British Possession of Canada shook up the LGBTQIAA2PS+ acronym with the release of the 2024 Canadian Budget which allocated CA$150 million ($110 million) to promote the homosexual agenda by expanding equity groups such as the ‘2SLGBTQI+’.
In the Key Ongoing Actions section of the document on page 229, the Canadian government is apparently building a gayer future, which is also inclusive of the 2SLGBTQI+ people. In addition to the CA$150 million for the 2SLGBTQI+ people, the new-acronym-folks will also receive CA$12 million to combat hatred against them, according to the document on page 230.
Taliban Gets First-Ever Invite to Talk Climate Change with United Nations
Members of the Taliban jihadist terror organization in control of Afghanistan joined a series of meetings that included representatives of United Nations agencies to discuss the alleged threat of climate change, the group organizing the talks confirmed this week.
The Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC), an organization that has enthusiastically advocated for the international community to lift sanctions on the Taliban to allow for “climate crisis” investment, hosted the meetings, which reportedly lasted three days and gave Taliban terrorists access to “a broad range of their counterparts in the West.” The meetings ended on Monday.
Burkina Faso: UN is tracking and controlling refugees’ cash and relief aid using digital IDs
Millions of people in Burkina Faso have been displaced due to ongoing and escalating violence. In a move to address the humanitarian crisis, ECOWAS is ramping up efforts to collect data.
It’s unclear what data ECOWAS is collecting but what is clear is that the humanitarian crisis has provided an opportunity for the UN to roll out its biometrics and digital ID agenda to refugees and displaced persons, and the communities that host them. Is it all coincidence or has it all been planned?
Be careful where you upload files! Experts reveal new ransomware threat
You probably know better than to click on links that download unknown files onto your computer. It turns out that uploading files can get you into trouble, too.
Today’s web browsers are much more powerful than earlier generations of browsers. They’re able to manipulate data within both the browser and the computer’s local file system. Users can send and receive email, listen to music or watch a movie within a browser with the click of a button. Unfortunately, these capabilities also mean that hackers can find clever ways to abuse the browsers to trick you into letting ransomware lock up your files when you think that you’re simply doing your usual tasks online.
Why Everyone Needs To Prepare For The Day When Devastating Cyberattacks Take U.S. Power Grids Down
What would you do if the power grid where you live went down and there was no electricity for an extended period of time?
You might want to think about that because experts are warning that it is just a matter of time before cyberattacks successfully cripple our power grids. In fact, foreign hackers are working hard to infiltrate critical infrastructure as you read this article. As you will see below, we are extremely vulnerable, and the Russians and the Chinese have both developed highly advanced cyberwarfare capabilities. When the U.S. ends up fighting a war with Russia or China (or both simultaneously), devastating cyberattacks on our power grids will be conducted. When your community is suddenly plunged into darkness, what is your plan?
Scientists considering raising hurricane intensity level to Category 6 for “mega-hurricane era”
In 1973, the National Hurricane Center introduced the Saffir-Simpson scale, a five-category rating system that classified hurricanes by wind intensity.
At the bottom of the scale was Category 1, for storms with sustained winds of 74 to 95 mph. At the top was Category 5, for disasters with winds of 157 mph or more. In the half-century since the scale’s debut, land and ocean temperatures have steadily risen due to greenhouse gas emissions. Hurricanes have become more intense, with stronger winds and heavier rainfall.
Violent Tornadoes Hit Nebraska, Iowa
Violent tornadoes that slammed parts of the Plains Friday tore homes apart, blew a train off its tracks, flipped cars and left several people injured.
Some of the most significant damage was reported in Nebraska, specifically in an Omaha suburb and areas around Lincoln. The full extent of the damage or any injuries wasn't immediately clear Friday night. Get the full forecast here. The storms are part of a classic springtime weather pattern that includes two rounds of widespread severe weather through the weekend in the Plains and in the Midwest.
The mRNA side effects just keep on getting worse, and worse. Pretty soon, the medical system won't even be able to 'euthanize' the victims fast enough.
US to Ukes - here's a bunch of billions for weapons but don't blow up the oil, election coming. US to Israel - here's a bunch of billions for weapons but be nice to Gaza, election coming. US to US - tough crap on open border, election coming.
