Multiple Buildings Collapse After Taiwan Hit By Strongest Quake In 25 Years, Tsunami Warning Issued

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 - the strongest earthquake in 25 years to hit the island- followed by a smaller quake with a magnitude of 6.5 struck off Taiwan’s eastern coast Wednesday, according to the US Geological Survey, prompting tsunami warnings in southern Japan.

The first quake, with a magnitude of 7.4, struck at 7:58pm ET (7:58am local time) and had an epicenter located about 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of the city of Hualien and shook buildings in the capital Taipei. It’s the biggest seismic event by magnitude since 1999, when the so-called 921 quake hit the island and killed more than 2,000 people, Taiwan weather authorities said during a press conference. There have been several aftershocks clustered on the island’s east coast.

China's Taiwan affairs office offers disaster relief assistance

China's Taiwan Affairs Office said it was highly concerned with the earthquake that hit the island this morning and was willing to provide disaster relief assistance, according to Chinese state media on Wednesday.

This is a developing story.

Russia says concert attack has sparked jump in army recruitment

Russia has seen a significant jump in the number of people signing contracts to join the armed forces since last month's deadly attack on a concert hall near Moscow, the Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.

A statement said more than 100,000 people have signed contracts with the military since the start of the year, including about 16,000 in the past ten days alone. "During interviews conducted over the past week at selection points in Russian cities, most candidates indicated the desire to avenge those killed in the tragedy that occurred on March 22, 2024, in the Moscow region as the main motive for concluding a contract," the ministry said.

Every NATO Country Already Has Troops In Ukraine, Estonia Says

Estonia has long been no friend of Russia, and a leading anti-Moscow hawkish voice within the Baltics, and that's why a fresh interview by Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur in European media is raising eyebrows as he issued some very revealing statements.

The defense chief said in the interview with the Austrian newspaper Die Presse that all NATO countries already have NATO personnel stationed in Ukraine, but that they aren't directly engaged in hostilities as they are there in advisory roles. He was responding to recent provocative statements by France's Macron.

West helping Ukraine attack deep inside Russia – CNN

Kiev’s foreign backers are coordinating the flight paths of kamikaze drones, a report says

Western countries are helping Ukraine to fly kamikaze drones deep inside Russian territory, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing a source close to Kiev’s drone program. An unnamed Ukrainian official who spoke to CNN described how Kiev uses UAVs with longer ranges and “more advanced capabilities” to strike targets located more than 1,000km (621 miles) from the border. “The flights are determined in advance with our allies, and the aircraft follow the flight plan to enable us to strike targets with meters of precision,” the source said.

US Set the EU up as 'Casualty' in War Against Russia

In September 2022, the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines exploded in what was described as an act of sabotage. Nineteen months later, no guilty party has been fingered by the official investigation, though Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the US was behind it.

The United States set up the European Union to be a “casualty” in its war against Russia and EU leaders should have known that, American journalist and RT correspondent, Rachel Blevins told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Tuesday.

Kim Jong Un Guides Test-Fire of North Korean Hypersonic Ballistic Missile

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - North Korea successfully test-fired a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile Hwasong-16B on Tuesday, North Korean state media reported.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided the first test-fire of Hwasongpho-16B, a new-type intermediate-range solid-fueled ballistic missile loaded with newly-developed hypersonic gliding warhead, KCNA reported on Wednesday. All North Korean missiles are now solid-fuel and nuclear-capable and are equipped with maneuverable warheads, agency added.

At UN Security Council, Iran threatens ‘decisive response,’ wider war over consulate strike

As the UN Security Council meets to discuss an alleged Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate in Syria that killed at least 13 people, Tehran uses the opportunity to threaten revenge against the Jewish state.

Iran “has exercised considerable restraint, but it is imperative to acknowledge there are limits to such forbearance,” Tehran’s representative tells the Security Council. She adds that “Iran reserves its right” for “a decisive response.” The representative says seven Iranians were killed, but the final death toll remains unknown with the site reduced to rubble.

'Iran will not respond': Middle East experts, dissidents comment on Damascus strike

An alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus Monday night resulted in the killing of a number of Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Quds Force generals.

An alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus Monday night resulted in the killing of a number of Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Quds Force generals, and it is considered one of the biggest strikes against these two Iranian organizations after the killing of Qassem Soleimani—the commander of the Iranian Quds Force—in a US airstrike in Baghdad in January 2020.

Many Iranian options to retaliate against Israel, but all carry risk - analysis

Iran faces dilemma post Israeli embassy attack: retaliate without escalation. Options include proxies or nuclear programs. Targeting Israeli interests is likely.

Iran faces a dilemma following an Israeli attack on its embassy in Syria: how to retaliate without sparking a broader conflict that Middle East analysts said Tehran doesn't appear to want. Monday's strike, which killed two Iranian generals and five military advisers at Iran's embassy compound in Damascus, comes as Israel accelerates a long-running campaign against Iran and the armed groups it backs. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed revenge.

Israeli negotiators return from Cairo hostage talks as they await Hamas response

Netanyahu’s office praises Egyptian mediation in oblique swipe at Qatar; source indicates there is reason for optimism that a deal can be reached

Israel’s negotiating team headed home from Cairo on Tuesday, as Jerusalem continues its efforts to find terms for a deal that would see Hamas free hostages from Gaza. “During the negotiations, with the effective mediation of Egypt, the mediators put together an updated proposal for Hamas to address,” the Prime Minister’s Office announced on behalf of the Mossad, which is leading the talks. “Israel expects the mediators to act more forcefully against Hamas to move the negotiations forward toward a deal,” said the PMO.

UN Aid Funds Terrorists and Tyrants

At the urging of the United Nations, aid is being sent to Gaza, where it will be received and distributed by Hamas, the authority in Gaza.

Designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the U.S. government in 1997, Hamas imposes taxes on all imports and exports, including aid, which has contributed to Gaza’s initial poverty. Now, with the humanitarian crisis caused by Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel, the United Nations and the global community are providing funding to Hamas. Aid given by sovereign nations comes from taxes; therefore, U.S. taxpayers are now funding Hamas. Under U.S. law, providing material support to designated terrorist organizations is a federal offense.

Brussels Begins To Mobilise Its Mass Censorship Regime For Upcoming EU Elections

This is the culmination of a process that began at least a decade ago.

One of the most important (albeit least reported) developments of 2023 was the launch of the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into full effect in late August and which we covered in the article, The EU’s Mass Censorship Regime Is Almost Fully Operational. Will It Go Global? The goal of the DSA is to combat — i.e., suppress — mis- and disinformation online, not just in Europe but potentially across the world and is part of a broader trend of Western governments actively pushing to censor information on the Internet as they gradually lose control over the narrative.

Haiti declared an 'open-air prison' as gang violence reaches 'apocalyptic' levels

The United Nations has sounded the alarm as gangs continue to shoot unarmed civilians and recruit children into their criminal operations.

Haiti's crisis has got so bad that the country has now been described as an "open-air prison" as armed gangs continue to kill unarmed civilians and the humanitarian crisis deepens. In recent weeks, the gangs have ramped up their violence as they forced Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign. A transitional government has been formed to run the country before elections are held, but the gangs continue to cause chaos on the streets of the capital Port-au-Prince. A United Nations report has outlined how more than 1,500 Haitians have died due to gang violence this year so far.

Chinese Illegal Immigrant Arrested After Sneaking Onto Marine Corps Base, Refusing To Leave

A Chinese national illegally in the United States was arrested last week after sneaking onto a Marine Corps base in California and refusing to leave, according to an official from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

"Subject was confirmed to be in the country illegally," Bovino wrote, noting that the purpose of the incursion was still under investigation. That said, the Epoch Times has learned on background from CBP sources that the Chiense national tried to enter the base without authorization, and he was later transported to a nearby CBP station for further processing. Twentynine Palms is the largest Marine Corps base in the country.

Louisiana Senate Unanimously Passes Bill to Block Control of UN, WHO, and WEF in the State

The Louisiana State Senate has passed a senate bill with a unanimous vote. This bill is a bold declaration of state sovereignty, setting the stage for a legal barricade against the overreach of globalist organizations: the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Senate Bill 133, co-authored by Republican state Sens. Valarie Hodges and Thomas A. Pressly, as well as state Rep. Kathy Edmonston, aims to ensure that these international bodies have no jurisdiction or authority within the state’s boundaries.

By Generating Chaos All Through The Country, The Herd Is Out To Trample You As They Blindly March Into Totalitarianism, Allowing Psychopaths To Ascend To Absolute Power 

How has the federal government evolved into an increasingly leftist bureaucracy, and Congress into a Uniparty? Part of it lies in the universal bipartisan lure of crony capitalism, or in “going with the cultural flow” for opportunistic political advantage. But there are deeper forces at play. 

Liberals generically are herd animals. Individuals unable to personally deal with affronts imposed by the social system, joined by those who feel left out, subjugated, victimized, will gravitate to the herd. The herd provides safety and strength in its collective conformity and united front. Compliance and conformity in group behavior and objectives take precedence over judgment and personal opinion.

Climate alarmists are warned that banks won’t play their part in “net zero” commitments

The financial industry’s initial rush to commit to net zero carbon footprints at the 2021 COP26 summit in Glasgow has hit a reality check.

Banks that pledged to reduce financed emissions and invest billions in “green” and “sustainable” deals are re-evaluating their net zero commitments after facing the realities these drastic changes will have on their business. A report by Bloomberg at the end of March highlighted the challenges faced by banks in meeting unrealistic climate goals while maintaining their client base.

Leaked Files From Transgender Association ‘Shocking’ and ‘Horrific’ Admission, Critics Say

The documents and video suggest a lack of informed consent from parents and children for gender transition treatments and surgeries.

A leaked video and documents exposing the inner workings of the organization responsible for setting the so-called “standards of care” for gender transition treatments and surgeries on children is a “shocking” and “horrific” admission, critics say. The leaked files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—better known as WPATH—reveal “widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults,” according to a 241-page report disclosing emails, documents, and an 82-minute video.

Attempted Suicide Rates More Than Double After Gender-Reassignment Surgery: Study

Rates of attempted suicide who identified as transgender more than doubled after receiving a vaginoplasty (surgically turning one's dick into a vagina), according to a peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of Urology.

While researchers found that rates of 'psychiatric emergencies' were high both before and after gender-altering surgery, suicide attempts were markedly higher among those who received vaginoplasties, the Epoch Times reports. "In fact, our observed rate of suicide attempts in the phalloplasty group is actually similar to the general population, while the vaginoplasty group’s rate is more than double that of the general population," wrote the author of the study.

Australian Senate Approves Digital ID, America Is Next

The fifth requirement (out of seven) of historic Technocracy, as documented in the Technocracy Study Course in 1934, was “Provide specific registration of the consumption of each individual, plus a record and description of the individual.”  

This has been in play for NINETY YEARS, waiting for the technology to catch up. The modern perpetrators of this digital panopticon are not communists, socialists, or Marxists, but TECHNOCRATS. China is leading the way for Technocracy worldwide, spreading its tentacles everywhere. Don’t forget that China didn’t just appear out of nowhere: it was the careful creation of the financial/banking cartel headed by the Trilateral Commission during the Jimmy Carter Administration.

Argentina just unveiled a mandatory registry for Digital Currency transactions

With the anarcho-capitalist and libertarian leader Javier Milei taking power in Argentina in December 2023, many felt that his plans to rebuild the national economy and dollarize it would help BitcoinBTC 0.0% and cryptocurrencies adoption in the country.

But after a few months of his government, more regulation is coming. In late March, the Comisión Nacional de Valores in Argentina announced a new mandatory Registry of Virtual Asset Service Providers for those operating with crypto assets in the country. Companies and individuals doing that activity now will be asked to comply with the registration approved on March 14 by the Argentine senate as part of the amendments to the current regulatory framework to address the Financial Action Task Force recommendations.

Creeps Love Bud Light: Bill Gates Buys 1.7 Million Shares of Anheuser-Busch Valued at $95 Million

Bill Gates has acquired 1.7 million shares of Anheuser-Busch Inbev through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation trust during the second quarter of this year.

The billionaire may have made the investment on the hopes that the company can get past its Bud Light fiasco, or he may think its new brand image fits with his infamous reputation as an “office bully” and friend of Jeffrey Epstein. The market value of Gates’ investment in Anheuser-Busch is valued at $95 million, according to TipRanks. Over the past six months, the company’s share price has fallen nearly nine percent, the New York Post reported. In the past five days, the stock has been down over three percent. 

Trading Privacy For Convenience: Starbucks’ Biometric Experiment With Palm Payments In Washington Town

Biometric data is the next frontier of data collection.

Starbucks has launched a trial of Amazon’s palm payment system Amazon One in a community north of Seattle, Washington. The coffee chain has already tried Amazon Go at concept stores built in partnership with Amazon in the city of New York. The new trial will take place in a waterfront community north of Seattle called Edmonds. Starbucks appears to be testing if older people, who are more resistant to new technologies, will welcome the idea of biometrics payments, The Spoon reported.

Delaware Passes Bill To Use Dead Humans As Compost

Okay folks, here’s another tale from the dark side of politics.

Looks like the Democrats’ have come up with a new way to descreate life. Now, instead of ensuring a loved one gets a proper burial, they’re reduceded to the compost heap. There is no sancity of life for the Left. First they want to reduce us to animals. “We came from apes.” Then we’re a clump of cells. Now you’re just soil.

What Happened The Last Time Two Eclipses Formed A Giant “X” Over The New Madrid Fault Zone?

Could it be possible that history is about to repeat itself?  On April 8th, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will complete the giant “X” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started. 

Meanwhile, the Devil Comet will be racing through our solar system for the first time in 71 years.  Most of you already know all this.  But what is not widely known is that we have seen this same pattern before.  In 1811, a solar eclipse finished the giant “X” over the heartland of America that a solar eclipse in 1806 had started, and meanwhile Tecumseh’s Comet was making headlines all over the nation as it raced through the heavens.  Approximately three months after the giant “X” over America was completed, cataclysmic earthquakes began erupting along the New Madrid fault.

Statewide Emergency Declared in Indiana Ahead of Solar Eclipse

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued the emergency declaration as a precaution ahead of the April 8 event.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a statewide emergency due to a large influx of visitors to his state to view the total solar eclipse on April 8. The Republican official said that the number of visitors to Indiana may strain the state’s communications, transportation, and emergency response systems, warranting the need for the declaration. Indiana includes some of the best locations in the United States to see the eclipse, according to a map of the path of totality.

New York Prisons Will Place Inmates on Lockdown During Solar Eclipse

New York State Corrections Department has issued a lockdown for all inmates on April 8th due to the upcoming total solar eclipse.

The move by New York state corrections authorities has resulted in inmates suing the state. On Friday, a group of inmates filed a lawsuit in Federal Court that states a lockdown on April 8th during the total solar eclipse “violates inmates’ constitutional rights to practice their faiths.” The plaintiffs in the suit are six men with various backgrounds, including Baptist, Seventh-Day Adventist and Muslim.

NASA will study the solar eclipse using three rockets

The mission was called APEP:

APEP was an Egyptian god who was an enemy of the sun god Ra.  APEP is also known as the god of destruction and chaos in the dark.

Strange Events at CERN on The April 8th Solar Eclipse

CERN is being activated during the Solar Eclipse April 8 2024. Could it all be just one big coincidence? CERN: Where Science and the Supernatural Collide CERN, The Large Hadron Collider and the Supernatural. There is a strange convergence between modern science and ancient gods of the old world. What is really going on here?
