UK intelligence ‘freelancers’ helped Ukraine target Crimean Bridge – The Grayzone
One of the British-devised plans allegedly involved replicating the 2020 Beirut explosion
Ukraine’s drone attack on the Kerch Bridge was most likely planned by former British military intelligence agents who signed a contract with Kiev in 2022, the independent outlet Grayzone has reported citing leaked documents.
A “cabal of British military-intelligence freelancers” led by Chris Donnelly has worked with the Odessa office of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) since April last year, Grayzone said in a report published Wednesday evening. The outlet had published leaked documents proving their partnership in October 2022, after the first attack on the Crimean Bridge.
Kiev threatens to sink civilian ships bound for Russia
The warning comes after Moscow de-facto re-imposed a naval blockade of Ukraine
he Ukrainian military has said it will treat all vessels sailing toward Russia’s Black Sea Ports as if they are carrying military supplies, warning they could share the same fate as a Russian warship sunk earlier in the conflict.
The thinly veiled threat was issued in a statement by Kiev’s Defense Ministry on Thursday, accusing Moscow of turning the Black Sea into a “danger zone” while vowing to retaliate with force against any ship in the area, including civilian vessels

Navy vessels trained in intercepting trespassers in a no-go zone
Russia’s Black Sea Fleet has conducted an exercise in enforcing a naval blockade, the Defense Ministry reported on Friday. The drills come after Russia and Ukraine declared that they would presume all civilian ships traveling to each other’s ports to be carrying military cargo.
According to the Russian ministry’s statement, warships and naval aviation “trained in isolating an area that was temporarily suspended for traffic” and “conducted measures to detain a [simulated] trespassing vessel.”
Ukraine already using cluster munitions – Washington
Kiev’s troops have been using the controversial shells “quite effectively” against Russia, a top White House official says
The US-supplied cluster munitions have already been deployed on the battlefield by Ukraine, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed on Thursday. The initial assessment from Ukraine indicates the munitions are being used by the Ukrainians against Russia’s troops “quite effectively,” the official said.
The controversial delivery of the cluster munitions was announced by Washington early this month. The so-called dual-purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICMs) come in the form of standard-caliber NATO 155mm rounds.

Biden Needs China to Bail Out US Economy: Here's Why
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's trip with Beijing was widely ridiculed in the media. But geopolitical and financial analyst Tom Luongo, publisher of the newsletter 'Gold, Goats 'n Guns', said her real mission was to beg China for economic aid.
He told Sputnik's New Rules podcast that the Biden administration's financial maneuvers during the debt ceiling stand-off with the Republican-controlled House of Representatives had cleaned out its "checking account".
Lawmakers warn that China poses an ‘Alarming’ threat to US power Grid
China represents an increasing threat to the US power grid, lawmakers were told Tuesday during a hearing in which they were warned a cyberattack from the nation could plunge military and other sensitive sites into darkness.
“The Chinese activities are quite alarming,” said Manny Cancel, senior vice president of the North American Electric Reliability Corp., during testimony before a US House subcommittee. “Chinese cyber activities are one of the most dynamic cyber threats. China continues to demonstrate increasing sophistication, including new and adaptive techniques to gain access to networks.”
Pepe Escobar: Neocons Want War With China
It was a photo op for the ages: a visibly well-disposed President Xi Jinping receiving centenarian "old friend of China" Henry Kissinger in Beijing.
Mirroring meticulous Chinese attention to protocol, they met at Villa 5 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse – exactly where Kissinger first met in person with Zhou Enlai in 1971, preparing Nixon’s 1972 visit to China.
The Mr. Kissinger Goes to Beijing saga was an "unofficial", individual attempt to try to mend increasingly fractious Sino-American relations. He was not representing the current American administration.
Canada Reviewing Nuclear War Plans and Protocols
Canada is dusting off and updating emergency protocols to deal with fallout from a possible tactical nuclear exchange in Europe or the spread of radiation across the ocean from a Ukrainian power plant explosion.
Internal Public Safety Canada notes show the measures include updating a highly secret plan to ensure the federal government can continue to function in a severe crisis. Ottawa was also taking steps to finalize a protocol for advising the Canadian public of an incoming ballistic missile, say the notes obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
North Korea threatens nuclear retaliation over US displays of military force
SEOUL, July 20 (Reuters) - North Korea said on Thursday deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers, bombers or missile submarines in South Korea could meet criteria for its use of nuclear weapons, state media KCNA reported, citing the country's defence minister, Kang Sun Nam.
The comments raise the stakes as each side steps up displays of military force in a standoff over the isolated country's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.
U.S. "Locks-On" Fire Control Radar Against Russian Jet in Syria
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD), United States forces inside Syria, obtained Fire-Control "Radar Lock" against a Russian Fighter Jet on routine air patrol in southern Syria today.
The Ministry claims a U.S. F-16 activated its firing control radar, which "locked-on" to a Russian Fighter Jet.
Typical citizens may not grasp the severe implications of such an action. Under the rules of engagement, the locking-on of a fire control radar is the equivalent of actually firing a weapon.

Meet the EU envoy hoping to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process
DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS: “We all have an obligation as non-desperate people who try to do good things to show that there is something to live for,” he said.
Sven Koopmans is on what many would consider to be a mission impossible – to breathe life back into the idea of an Israeli-Palestinian peace process at a time when many people think the two-state vision is dead and buried.
One could consider that he is the epitome of the slogan, “Build it and they will come.”
New intel reveals that Iran is moving toward possible atom bomb test in defiance of Western sanctions
A fresh batch of damning European intelligence reports reveals that the Islamic Republic of Iran sought to bypass U.S. and EU sanctions to secure technology for its nuclear weapons program with a view toward testing an atomic bomb.
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which first published translations of the intelligence documents on its website, the security agencies of Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany revealed sensitive data during the first six months of 2023 on the Iranian regime’s illicit nuclear weapons proliferation activities. The reports mainly cover Iran’s alleged illegal conduct in 2022.
Potemkin Village Economy: Why Next Global Recession Will Begin in Europe
An impending crisis may soon flood the Potemkin villages of the EU economy, Tom Luongo, a geopolitical and financial analyst, publisher of the newsletter Gold, Goats 'n Guns, told Sputnik's New Rules podcast.
The euro area's annual inflation rate fell to 5.5% in June from 6.1% in May; a year earlier the rate was 8.6%. However, it's too early to pop the champagne as higher inflation is about to make a comeback later this year in Europe, according to Tom Luongo, a geopolitical and financial analyst. What's more, recession has already begun to engulf the bloc, driven by flawed energy policy and the European Central Bank's (ECB) aggressive interest rate hikes.
"Once You Start Censoring, You're On Your Way To Dystopia And Totalitarianism", RFK Jr. Wrecks House Committee
In a hearing marred by contentious interruptions and attempts by House Democrats to remove him as a witness, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., CHD chairman on leave from Children’s Health Defense (CHD) testified before a U.S. House hearing organized by Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
The subcommittee, operating within the House Judiciary Committee, said today’s hearing was intended to “examine the federal government’s role in censoring Americans,” “Big Tech’s collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech” and the ongoing Missouri v. Biden lawsuit alleging government censorship.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has released a bombshell FBI document dated July 30,2020, in which a respected confidential human source (CHS) alleged that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden received $10 million in bribes.
The document, a FD-1023 form, also alleges that the boss of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm which employed Hunter Biden to the tune of $80,000 per month, thought Hunter was a moron.
DO NOT CONSENT

Trial Date Set in Landmark Lawsuit on Medical Killing and Informed Consent
Following Defense’s Failed Motion to Dismiss, Schara v. Ascension Health et al. Scheduled for Three Week Trial Coinciding with the 2024 Presidential Election
“This bellwether case is about something much bigger than mere malpractice—and its impact will reverberate nationally.” — Scott Schara
FREEDOM, WISCONSIN, USA, July 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- A standing-room only crowd packed the Outagamie County Circuit Courthouse in Appleton, WI last Friday for a make-or-break hearing on the fate of a bellwether case with national, and increasingly political, ramifications. At stake was an issue of life or death: should healthcare workers have the right to unilaterally, and with limited liability, label patients as “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR), effectively killing them under the pretense of “Standards of Care” protocols?
Climate Engineering To Fight Global Warming? What Could Go Wrong!
Two years ago, a documentary, “The Dimming: Exposing The Global Climate Engineering Cover-Up,” was released by Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch. The documentary claimed that climate engineering had been going on for decades, and there had been a massive cover-up.
In fact, Yahoo Finance reported in 2019 that “Bill Gates backs plan to tackle climate change by blocking out the sun.”
Young female military recruit forced to bathe with biological male transgenders who still have their genitalia intact
An 18-year-old female military recruit was reported to have been forced to shower with biological male transgenders who still have their genitalia intact. The "extremely uncomfortable position" the young recruit experienced was first raised at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week.
The young woman feared that speaking out about the Joe Biden administration's policies could disrupt her dream to serve the country. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), who learned about the matter from the attorney general of the South Dakota National Guard, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
NATO just DESTROYED the US Constitution with this move
What is the most important document in the United States of America if you said the US Constitution unfortunately that's no longer correct. The United States Senate just voted to give the north Atlantic Treaty organization supreme power over the United States in war, making decisions.
Thank you for the news. This is ridiculous! On the same day all in DC are shouting against Kennedy suddenly being 'antisemitic' due to his comments on the scientific truth performed via taxpayers money and initiated by Fauci, and in the background, in the same time, the same ZIONISTS are taking away the constitution. How much more evil and with what kind of heinous tactics they lead this country to a total fall... Is it all to protect the criminal, nothing knowing and thus easiest to manipulate Biden, who then will be the only one who 'decides'?
Yeppers, we step ever closer to use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine (and elsewhere).
F-16 engaging radar lock (whether true or not) is the last step before weapons free!
