US promises to ‘defend’ another neighbor of China
On a visit to the Philippines, America’s top diplomat spoke about protecting democracy and “precious maritime resources”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken paid a visit to Manila to meet the Philippines’ newly elected leader and reassure him of Washington’s full support in the face of China’s “destabilizing and dangerous” actions, following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.
The 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty between Washington and Manila remains “ironclad,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippines counterpart, Enrique Manalo, on Saturday.

Israel estimates length of Gaza fighting
IDF will continue to strike terrorist targets with “great precision,” the defense minister says
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday they are prepared for a “week of fighting” after Israel began striking targets in Gaza the previous day. They added that there are no peace talks at the moment.
The IDF said that more than 160 rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza since Friday afternoon. The Iron Dome missile defense system destroyed 95% of the rockets mid-air, Brigadier General Ran Kochav, the spokesman for the defense forces, said.
UPDATE: Israel on the brink of a new war as conflict continues to escalate
Israeli jets pounded the Gaza Strip on Saturday, hours after a wave of airstrikes killed a top Palestinian militant and at least 10 others. A five-year-old girl also died when the two-story home belonging to a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad group was flattened by two bombs shortly before noon on Friday.
According to the latest reports, Radicals in Gaza responded by firing at least 160 rockets toward Tel Aviv and other towns and cities. It is the worst bout of cross-border violence since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year. But the violence remains largely contained, with any escalation largely depending on whether Hamas, the Islamic militant group which controls Gaza, opts to join the fighting.
Taiwan Says China's Drills Are Simulating A Full Attack On The Island
Taiwan says China's military has upped the threat level against it as People's Liberation Army (PLA) planes pressed ahead with their largest ever drills surrounding the island, following Thursday's ultra-provocative launch of eleven ballistic missiles in area waters, some of which were reported to have flown over the island and population of some 23 million.
On Saturday Taiwan's defense ministry said it observed Chinese planes and ships conducting attack simulation exercises while operating in the Taiwan Strait. "Multiple batches of Chinese communist planes and ships conducting activities around the Taiwan strait, some of which crossed the median line," it said in a statement.
The Growing Threat From North Korea
North Korea, despite a UN Security Council ban on its ballistic missile tests, continued to develop its nuclear and missile programs in 2021, according to a new UN report. In January 2022 alone, North Korea launched a record 11 missiles, including two hypersonic missiles and the first firing since 2017 of a Hwasong-12 mobile intermediate-range ballistic missile which is within reach of US territory with its estimated range of 4,500 kilometers. In 2017, North Korea tested the Hwasong-15, which has an estimated range of 8,500-13,000 kilometers.
Biden administration planning to extend Covid emergency declaration
The decision is not final, however. And it comes as some officials say it may be time to let it lapse.
The Biden administration is expected to extend the Covid-19 public health emergency once again, ensuring that federal measures expanding access to health coverage, vaccines and treatments remain in place beyond the midterm elections, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO.
The planned renewal follows extensive deliberations among Biden officials over the future of the emergency declaration, including some who questioned whether it was time to let the designation lapse.

“To make milk, you need fodder, mainly alfalfa and corn, which have grown little this year,” said Yannick Fialip, breeder and president of the economic commission of the FNSEA.
"Situation Is Really Precarious": World's Largest Rice Exporter Faces Output Decline Amid Heatwave
The effects of elevated food prices have rippled worldwide and forced governments to impose price controls and trade restrictions. Price increases are due to supply constraints driven by several variables, including high energy prices, geopolitics, and weather. Ukraine restarted maritime transport of crops to the rest of the world, forcing grain prices to slip, though the food crisis is far from over.
We pointed out in April that the next challenge for the global food supply could be a plunge in rice production (read: here). Fast forward months later, and our suspicions appear to be right as India, the world's largest rice exporter, has seen planting areas of the crop decline by 13% due to heatwaves and drought.
Russian wheat harvest is under threat: Is the world headed for global hunger?
Rising grain prices and disruptions of supplies are causing fears of a looming crisis
Russian Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev warned on Friday that the ministry sees risks of the country’s grain harvest target not being reached this year. The amount of grain harvested across Russia so far is lower than this time last year, he said. This could force the ministry to review its plans for grain exports, which could negatively affect the global market for the commodity, the minister added. Shortages of grain have already pushed prices higher across the world and raised concerns of a possible food crisis.
Supply Chain Problems Will Persist Because The System Is Being Sabotaged
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the executive vice president of UPS asserted that “regionalization” of the supply chain is critical to economic stability as geopolitcal conflicts expand. The word “regionalization” is basically a code word to describe decentralization, a concept which the UPS representative obviously did not want to dive into directly. Almost every trade expert and industry insider is admitting that supply chain problems are going to persist into the foreseeable future, and some are starting to also admit (in a roundabout way) that localized production and trade models are the key to survival.
Bill Gates — Monkeying Around In Nigeria Years Ago
On July 29th, on the heels of the World Hoax Organization (WHO) announcing monkeypox as the next “plandemic,” National Public Radio (NPR) put out a story that received little fanfare or coverage.
In 2017, Dr. Dimie Ogoina, professor of medicine and infectious diseases at Niger Delta University in Nigeria, tried to warn health officials that the monkeypox virus had changed, but somebody told him to be quiet. Who? Was it Bill Gates?
Newest Threat to Medical Freedom—Monkeypox “Emergency”
The World Health Organization declaration of Monkeypox as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC), was made by one man, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has no medical training, over the objection of the majority of his own expert committee of medical and scientific advisors. Nine of the committee members thought a PHEIC should not be declared and six supported a declaration.
“Nine and six is very, very close. Since the role of the committee is to advise, I decided to act as a tie-breaker,” Tedros said in a news conference called to announce the decision.”

Bidenflation forces Americans to SKIP health treatment: Nearly 100M were forced to delay or stop appointments as inflation surged to 40-year high of 9.1%, survey finds

The CIA Once Considered Using Lightning to Assassinate People
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) once considered the idea of using lightning as a weapon system. In the late 1960s, an unknown scientist proposed the service use lightning strikes as a weapon that would leave behind “little or no evidence,” making it difficult to identify the U.S. government as the perpetrator. The CIA, despite always being interested in covert weapons, never developed the idea. Probably.
This is disturbing, like extremely disturbing if true.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL) has sent a formal request to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform investigate the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for violating federal law that forbids the use of appropriated funds to pay a “publicity expert” unless funds are specifically appropriated for that purpose.
