The Beginning Of The End? Germany To Ban All New Ukraine Military Aid

The ban, which is already in place, will affect all new requests for assistance to Kyiv, Germany’s FAZ newspaper reported...

Three days ago, in the aftermath of the WSJ report seeking to radically shift the narrative over the Nordstream sabotage, where instead of the CIA being blamed for the explosion of the critical gas pipeline from Russia to Europe, unnamed "intelligence" sources forged on with a hilarious script according to which a top Ukraine general (operating initially under the instructions of Zelensky but then going rogue wen Z got "cold feet") was responsible for coordinating the sabotage using a handful of rank amateurs who somehow managed to sneak to the bottom of the Baltic sea and conduct an unprecedented military operation, we said that - no matter the laughable veracity of the report - relations between Germany and Ukraine are "about to turn ugly", and we asked why this story is coming out just now?

Belarus Says Ukraine Amassing Troops At Border; Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Suffers Drone Attack

IAEA officials on site report the fresh damage "seemed to have been caused by a drone equipped with an explosive payload"...

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has warned Sunday that Ukraine is also amassing troops on Belarus' border amid the ongoing incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast. Lukashenko alleged that Kiev has positioned more than 120,000 soldiers along its border with Belarus and this is being deemed an act of 'aggression' by military authorities. But it is curious where Ukraine got the manpower for this, if accurate. State-run BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying, "Seeing their aggressive policy, we have introduced there and placed in certain points – in case of war, they would be defense – our military along the entire border."

Ukraine pushing Russia to use nuclear weapons – Belarus

Kiev may have launched its Kursk incursion to provoke a drastic response by Moscow, President Alexander Lukashenko believes

Ukraine’s incursion into internationally recognized Russian territory looks like an attempt to compel Moscow to use nuclear weapons, which would irrevocably damage its image globally, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said. In an interview with Russia-1 aired on Sunday, Lukashenko warned that Kiev’s operation in Kursk Region – the largest cross-border assault by Kiev since the outbreak of the conflict – posed enormous risks to global security. “The danger is that this kind of escalation on the part of Ukraine is an attempt to push Russia into asymmetric actions, for example, the use of nuclear weapons,” the Belarusian leader said, adding that such a move would be a PR bonanza for both Kiev and its Western backers.

Ukraine could be ‘destroyed’ – Lukashenko

The Belarusian president has suggested that Moscow and Kiev return to talks based on a tentative agreement reached in Istanbul

Moscow and Kiev must eventually settle their differences through negotiations or the conflict will end in the total destruction of Ukraine, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said. In an interview with the Russia-1 channel released on Sunday, Lukashenko urged the two countries to return to the peace talks that collapsed in the spring of 2022 after what Moscow has called Western interference. “We must sit down at the negotiating table and discuss the issues. But if it goes on like in Kursk Region, this will be an escalation that would result in Ukraine’s destruction,” the Belarusian leader warned, referring to Kiev’s large-scale assault on internationally recognized Russian territory earlier this month.

Escobar: So What Really Happened In Kursk?

An extremely serious debate is already raging among selected circles of power/intelligence in Moscow...

To cut to the chase: what really happened in Kursk? Was the Russian Ministry of Defense caught napping? Or did they see it coming and profited to set up a deadly trap for Kiev? Well-informed players willing to share a few nuggets on condition of anonymity all stress the extreme sensitivity of it all. An intel pro though has offered what may be interpreted as a precious clue: “It is rather surprising to see such a concentration of force was unnoticed by satellite and drone surveillance at Kursk, but I would not exaggerate its importance.” Another intel pro prefers to stress that “the foreign intel section is weak as it was very badly run.” This is a direct reference to the state of affairs after former security overseer Nikolai “Yoda” Patrushev, during Putin’s post-inauguration reshuffle, was transferred from his post as secretary of the Security Council to serve as a special presidential aide.

Moscow denies WaPo claims about secret Russia-Ukraine talks

Kiev has had multiple opportunities to engage in negotiations but has rejected them, the Foreign Ministry has said

Russia and Ukraine have not been involved in any “direct or indirect” talks that could have been derailed by Kiev’s cross-border incursion into Kursk Region, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told journalists on Sunday. She was asked to comment on a Washington Post article which claimed, citing sources, that the Ukrainian attack thwarted secret indirect negotiations between Moscow and Kiev regarding a potential moratorium on striking energy infrastructure. The supposed talks were said to be mediated by Qatar, the outlet wrote on Saturday. “No one has derailed anything,” Zakharova said, explaining that the two sides have not discussed any “security regimes” for critical infrastructure facilities.

Vast majority of Brits blame immigration for unrest – poll

Migration policy, right-wing influencers, and social media were all seen as contributing to the nationwide rioting, a new survey has found

Two-thirds of Brits believe the country’s immigration policy is responsible for the recent wave of right-wing riots, according to a poll published on Sunday. The riots triggered a nationwide crackdown on disorder and online dissent. Dozens of British towns and cities were rocked by right-wing protests and riots earlier this month after a British teenager of Rwandan descent stabbed three children to death and injured ten others in the town of Southport, near Liverpool. Initially sparked by a false rumor that the knifeman was a Muslim immigrant, the demonstrations spiraled into a wider backlash against Islam and mass immigration, culminating in an arson attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers in the town of Rotherham.

Same Sh*t, Different Govt: Channel Migrants Record Daily Crossings For Starmer's Labour

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer scrapped the previous government's Rwanda offshore processing scheme, which has certainly only encouraged more boats to come...

More than 700 illegal immigrants crossed the English Channel from France to the U.K. on Sunday as the new left-wing government in Westminster struggles to contain the long-running crisis... Home Office figures released on Monday revealed a total of 703 migrants were escorted to British shores, a new record since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour Party took office last month. The figure is the third-highest daily total this year, with illegal immigration showing no signs of slowing down under the new administration. Illegal immigration and asylum are at the forefront of the political debate in Britain currently and were key issues during the general election campaign.

UK Man Sentenced to Three Years in Prison Over Posts He Made on X

The UK sentenced a man to three years in prison because of his X posts.

Wayne O’Rourke was sentenced to three years in prison for social media posts he made after three young girls were stabbed to death in Southport. Last month,  a knife attack in Southport in the northwest of England left three young children dead, five others are in critical condition, and two adults were also hurt. The murdered children have now been named by Merseyside Police as nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar, six-year-old Bebe King, and seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe. According to AP, a witness described seeing bloodied children running from a community center where a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga event for children aged about 6 to 11 was taking place.

During a CNN interview on Saturday, Hamas’ senior official, Osama Hamdan, abruptly ended the discussion when asked whether the group takes responsibility for civilian casualties in Gaza.

This sudden termination followed questions about whether Hamas regretted its October 7 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israeli civilians. Meanwhile, Gaza Health Ministry officials have reported that the ongoing conflict has claimed the lives of 40,000 Palestinians, with the majority being civilians.

Hamas rejects US ‘bridging’ offer as Blinken lands in Israel to advance hostage deal

The US proposal essentially corresponds to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of a permanent ceasefire and a refusal to allow for the IDF to fully withdraw from Gaza, Hamas said.

Hamas rejected America’s “bridging proposal” to help finalize a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in Israel Sunday night amid a major diplomatic blitz by the Biden administration to finalize an agreement this week. The “bridging proposal” placed new conditions on the exchange of hostages for Palestinians jailed in Israel, Hamas said as it referred to Palestinian security prisoners and terrorists that would be released in the deal. Other agreements previously arrived at have been retracted, it explained.

Egypt, Algeria reportedly rushing emergency fuel shipments...

The entirety of the Lebanese capital and the whole nation has been plunged into darkness amid a crippling power outage which has been in effect since midday Saturday. That's when the state power provider Electricité du Liban (EDL) announced in a statement that "the last operational unit at the Zahrani power plant was forced to shut down completely, due to the complete depletion of the plant's fuel oil reserves, resulting in a total power outage across all Lebanese territories."

WHO Raises Outbreak Alarm As Once Eradicated Polio Returns To Gaza

UN's António Guterres calls for "polio pause" in fighting to rush vaccines to Gaza Strip...

Following over a month of warnings, Gaza recorded its first case of polio since the highly contagious virus was eradicated there 25 years ago, prompting a Friday call by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres for a temporary truce to enable a vaccination drive in the embattled strip. The Gaza Health Ministry said Friday that an 10-month-old infant in the central city of Deir al-Balah "who has not received any polio vaccine dose" has tested positive for the virus, which often causes paralysis and can be fatal. The ministry said the baby is one of "a number of children" who have presented with symptoms consistent with polio in recent days.

Don’t Blame the WHO for Declaring the MPox Outbreak a Public Health Emergency – it’s Just Doing the Bidding of the Pandemic-Industrial Complex

The World Health Organisation (WHO) acted as expected this week and declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

So, a problem in a small number of African countries that has killed about the same number of people this year as die every four hours from tuberculosis has come to dominate international headlines. This is raising a lot of angst among people who are suspicious of the WHO. While the anxiety is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. The WHO and the International Health Regulations (IHR) Emergency Committee it has convened have little real power – it is simply following a script written by its sponsors. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), which declared an emergency a day earlier, is in a similar position.

Greyerz – This Man Just Issued A Dire Warning For People In The US And Around The World

Today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies and metals just issued a dire warning for people in the US and around the world.

August 17 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz, Founder of VON GREYERZ AG:  “At some point, and it’s not too far away, US citizens are not going to be able to transfer dollars out of the US.  There will be exchange controls. I have experienced that in the UK in the early 1970s. It’s going to happen again. It’s going to happen in the US. It’s going to happen in other countries also.

US Living Standards in Grave Danger

“Inflation cooled, lower than expected,” reads the financial press on the statement of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

One only needs to look carefully: when month-to-month changes are down, those alone get the headline. When they are up, as they are in July, the headline focuses on the 12-month trend. Every time. Based on the data release we have, the “cooling” is actually up from June to July, if you can believe it. Most of the change is driven by housing, but the CPI is far from capturing the whole. By using a black-box statistic called Owners Equivalent Rent, the CPI is able to completely bypass and not report data that we actually have on housing prices. And that’s just the start of the problems we’ve discussed many times. Even so, the CPI still reveals something. Even then, we keep being told life is better than ever.

Facial Recognition Becoming More Common in US Schools

Biometric systems for school safety and security continue to gain ground in the U.S., with more rollouts unveiled and a new director appointed by ROC. But the recent reprimand issued by a UK regulator shows the fine line that must be walked for compliance in school settings.

Schools in the township of Sparta, New Jersey, and the Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin have each selected visitor management system with facial recognition from Singlewire Software. Visitor Aware, which includes facial recognition and ID scanning, collects each visitor’s name, ID document, date of birth, address and sex, along with a facial photo. It then checks the data against the National Sex Offenders Registry, most wanted lists from Interpol and the FBI, as well as the FBI’s lists of wanted hijackers, terrorists, and its “Seeking Information” watchlist, TAPinto Sparta reports. The system does not perform checks for criminal history, outstanding warrants, or immigration databases.

New U.S. Army policy spells trouble for Christians

A policy revision adopted recently by the U.S. Army could spell trouble for soldiers who believe in and follow the Holy Bible.

In June, the Army issued two new directives regarding the handling and reporting of “protest, extremist and criminal gang activities” by soldiers. Army directive 2024-07 on handling extremist activity, as well as the service’s directive 2024-08 on reporting extremist activity, can both be found on the website of the Army Inspector General. WorldNetDaily interviewed Dr. Charles “Chase” Spears, recently retired after a 20-year Army public affairs career specializing in ethical military communication strategy. “Since day one of his tenure as secretary of Defense,” Spears told WND, “Lloyd Austin claimed that there is a major issue with [Christian] extremism in the military.” Spears added, “This is the same military that made [Austin] a four-star general.”

Father Imprisoned In Egypt for Sharing Christian Faith on Facebook Declares Hunger Strike

Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo is behind bars for something many do daily: he posted on Facebook.

Abdo, a Yemini asylum seeker, has been in prison for two-and-a-half years because — after converting from Islam to Christianity — he began discussing theological matters in a private Facebook group with other recent converts to Christianity. This week, the Alliance Defending Freedom International, the religious liberty advocacy group representing Abdo, announced the persecuted believer has declared a hunger strike in a recent letter sent to his wife and family. Abdo was reportedly arrested by Egyptian authorities in 2021 for participating in a Facebook group, answering questions for and fostering conversations with people who had converted from Islam to Christianity.

Parking Lot Full of Self-Driving Cars Turns Into Nightmare Situation for Neighbors: ‘Absurd’

In movies, the attack of autonomous creations to destroy humanity comes with spectacular drama.

In San Francisco, it is just a beeping, endless string of sleepless nights. “Over the past two weeks I’ve been woken up more times overnight than I have combined over 20 years,” San Francisco resident Russell Pofsky said, according to KGO-TV. “It’s just really, really… it’s tough. It affects the way you feel,” Pofsky said. The culprit is a parking lot where Waymo autonomous vehicles are parked. Waymo advertises itself as an “autonomous driving technology” that it claims helps people navigate the streets of San Francisco safely.

Residents of Palmdale and Lancaster, California report a series of UFO sightings

UFO sightings have been reported in California, particularly in the Palmdale and Lancaster areas, with residents detailing their experiences on the Ring Neighbors app. The reports of multiple UFO sightings on the app, stirring both curiosity and concern within the community, describe unusual aerial activity.

One person shared, “You guys…. You won’t believe what I just saw. You guys I saw UFO, I was walking my dog in my backyard and saw a bright light up in the sky. At first I was like omg what a cool plane that Northrop assembled but to my dismay it was a hovercraft! Please tell me I’m not the only one who saw !!!” Another resident was intrigued by the initial post and went outside with their mother to see if they could spot anything. They reported, “Flying objects in sky? I was intrigued by the first neighbor who posted that he saw a UFO from his yard so my mom and I went out to ours to see if we’d see anything. They were too far to me to confidently say they were flying saucers, but did anyone else see multiple? We counted 6 after being out there for about 10 minutes.”

Volcano erupts in Russia after 7.0 magnitude earthquake, sending ash column 5 miles high

Russia’s Shiveluch volcano has erupted following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck off the country’s eastern coast, according to state-run media outlet TASS.

“According to visual evaluations, the ash column is rising as high as 8 kilometers (5 miles) above the sea level,” TASS reported Sunday morning local time, adding the volcano had released a gush of lava. There are no reports of people injured, TASS said. The Shiveluch volcano is around 280 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a coastal city with a population of about 181,000 that lies in Russia’s eastern region of Kamchatka. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the quake’s epicenter was about 55 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and had a depth of about 30 miles.
