Russia seeks to save lives in the Donbass and punish those responsible for eight years of genocide and atrocities, Moscow’s envoy to the UN Vasily Nebenzia told the General Assembly during a session called to denounce the invasion of Ukraine.
“Occupation of Ukraine is not part of our plans. The purpose of this special operation is to protect people, who have been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for the past eight years.
Russia strikes back at Switzerland’s airspace closure
Moscow responded in a tit-for-tat manner, banning Swiss planes from flying over its territory
Moscow has closed its airspace to Swiss planes, mirroring Bern’s decision on Monday to prohibit Russian aircraft from flying over the Alpine country.
Russia’s aviation authority released a statement on Tuesday saying that “in keeping with international law and as a retaliatory measure” in the wake of the ban Switzerland had imposed on Russian aircraft, Moscow was “restricting flights by civil aircraft” belonging to or registered in Switzerland.

Ceasefire talks hosted by Belarus adjourn for consultations'
Moscow and Kiev have found certain things that could be agreed on during the ceasefire talks hosted by Belarus and will return for consultations before the next round, both delegations told reporters after the talks ended on Monday.

Zelensky Urges Biden To Impose No-Fly Zone Over Ukraine; Turkey Shuts Straits To All Warships
Update(1845ET): Ukraine's President Zelensky has urged the West to consider imposing a no-fly zone against Russian aircraft. Zelensky on Monday appealed directly to Joe Biden to consider a no-fly zone for "significant parts" of Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader issued the statement in an exclusive Axios report. He told Axios that there's a chance for Ukraine's armed forces to "beat the aggressor" if the Western allies are willing to "do their part."
He also suggested that this would result in less total bloodshed, and spare civilians: "If the West does this, Ukraine will defeat the aggressor with much less blood," Zelensky conveyed through an advisor.
German MP Says NATO Responsible For Ukraine Crisis, Should Have Guaranteed Neutral Status
Alice Weidel, a co-leader of the German political party Alternative for Germany, also known as AfD, presented her view of the current tense situation around Ukraine, calling it "a failure of the West," while also adding that it failed to ensure Kiev's neutrality at an early stage.
Speaking in the German parliament on Sunday, the politician said that her party wishes that timely measures had been made "to put Ukraine and all other surrounding countries on a neutral status and not continuously pushing the frontiers of NATO's eastward expansion."
Jailbreak: Zelensky Says Ukraine to Free Inmates with ‘Combat Experience
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Monday that his country would free any convicted criminals “with real combat experience” to fight the ongoing full-scale invasion by Russia.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced a “special operation” in Ukraine last week, claiming it necessary to “de-Nazify” the country after he recognized the two regions that make up Ukraine’s Donbas – Donetsk and Luhansk – as sovereign countries. Putin has yet to clarify the contradiction between his claim that Zelensky’s administration is run by “Nazis” and the fact that Zelensky himself is Jewish and the descendant of World War II veterans who fought against Nazis – a fact Zelensky has implored the Russian public to take into account.
Chaos and anarchy in Kiev: source says armed bandits are looting and murdering
The situation in Kiev is “not as black and white as the media is portraying it,” a source on the ground in Kiev who spoke to True North through a translator said on Sunday.
“People are more scared of the armed citizens than the Russian military,” said the source.
The source, a senior who lives in the city center, said he and his wife are “more scared of looters with guns right now.”
The man has his old military rifle out, just in case, the translator noted.
The source sent photos of several dead bodies piled on the side of the street in Kiev, noting that it depicts “a family that got killed when they were mistaken for a military vehicle.”
Biden says Americans should NOT be worried about nuclear war with Russia and Jen Psaki reveals America has not changed alert level of its missiles trained on Moscow after Putin readied his warheads
President Joe Biden said Americans should not be worried about nuclear war with Russia after Russian President Vladimir Putin put his country's nuclear deterrent on high alert on Sunday in an escalation of tensions with the west after attacking Ukraine last week.
'Should Americans be worried about nuclear war?' a reporter asked Biden during a White House event Monday.
'No,' the president shot back matter-of-factly.
Press secretary Jen Psaki later said the White House sees 'no reason' to change its nuclear posture.
'We think provocative rhetoric like this is dangerous adds to the risk of miscalculation, should be avoided, and we’ll not indulge in it.' Psaki said, after Putin announced that 'aggressive statements' by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) led him to ratchet up his nuclear defenses.
'We are assessing President Putin’s directive and at this time we see no reason to change our own alert levels.'
Freeland caught holding pro-Nazi banner at Ukraine protest
Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland was photographed on Sunday with a scarf promoting a far-right Ukrainian Nationalist movement linked to Neo-Nazis and extremism.
Remarkably, Freeland (or more likely, a member of her staff) posted the photo to her own official social media accounts, apparently ignorant of the radical far-right movement the scarf represents.
Trudeau's public safety minister says Emergencies Act was necessary because truckers were potential rapists
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said that members of the Freedom Convoy were threatening to rape residents of the city of Ottawa.
"There were Ottawans who were subjected to intimidation, harassment, threats of rape," said Mendicino.
Mendicino made the comments while testifying at the Commons public safety committee in response to a question from Conservative MP Raquel Dancho, who later questioned why cabinet would allow politicians to freely walk through the protests if there were known threats of rape.
"Women on this panel right now walked past that protest every day and you are saying there was a threat to public safety?" she asked, according to Blacklock's.
'Russian Propaganda' Is The Latest Excuse To Expand Censorship
“I’m concerned about Russian disinformation spreading online, so today I wrote to the CEOs of major tech companies to ask them to restrict the spread of Russian propaganda,” US Senator Mark Warner tweeted on Friday.
Since then YouTube has announced that it has suppressed videos by Russian state media channels so that they’ll be seen by fewer people in accordance with its openly acknowledged policy of algorithmically censoring unauthorized content, as well as de-monetizing all such videos on the platform. Google and Facebook/Instagram parent company Meta both banned Russian state media from running ads and monetizing on their platforms in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Twitter announced a pause on ads in both Russia and Ukraine.

The Israel Ministry of Defence — Directorate of Defense Research & Development (Mafat), the IDF, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., announced this morning that they had successfully completed complex trials of the Protective Dome system in a naval configuration based on an advanced version of the Iron Dome rocket defense system. The naval version was operated for the first time on the Israel Navy’s Sa’ar 6 corvette INS Magen.
In the trial, various scenarios simulating existing and future threats that the system might have to deal with were tested. These included rockets, cruise missiles, and UAVs. The Ministry of Defense says that the success of the trial is an important milestone in the development of operational capabilities for protecting the State of Israel’s strategic assets and vital interests against existing and future threats in the area.
Belarus referendum supports renouncing non-nuclear status
The referendum's approval could mean that there will be nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil.
Over 65% of Belarusians expressed support on Sunday for adopting a new constitution that would ditch its non-nuclear status at a time when the country has become a launchpad for Russian troops invading Ukraine and marching on Kyiv, chairman of the country’s Central Election Commission (CEC) Igor Karpenko said, according to TASS.
The vote could see nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil for the first time since the country gave them up after the fall of the Soviet Union.
As the prospects of another World War escalates, It’s time to prepare for a breakdown of our food and energy systems
If you believe that your life will continue on as normal because the war between Russia and Ukraine is on the other side of the globe, you should think again. We were already facing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s before the war broke out, and Russia is one of the most important energy producers on the entire globe.
As energy markets are thrown into further turmoil, energy prices will go to unprecedented heights. And as I have documented repeatedly in recent months, the global food crisis has just continued to get worse as global food supplies have continued to get tighter and tighter.
Normally, Russia and Ukraine export vast quantities of food to the rest of the world, but the war is going to change that. We really are facing a horrifying breakdown of our food and energy systems, and that is going to affect every man, woman, and child on the entire planet.
Documents expose US biological experiments on allied soldiers in Ukraine and Georgia
While the US is planning to increase its military presence in Eastern Europe to “protect its allies against Russia”, internal documents show what American “protection” in practical terms means.
The Pentagon has conducted biological experiments with a potentially lethal outcome on 4,400 soldiers in Ukraine and 1,000 soldiers in Georgia. According to leaked documents, all volunteer deaths should be reported within 24 h (in Ukraine) and 48 h (in Georgia).
Both countries are considered the most loyal US partners in the region with a number of Pentagon programs being implemented in their territory. One of them is the $2.5 billionDefense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Biological engagement program which includes research on bio agents, deadly viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria being studied on the local population.
Proposed Canadian Law Would Penalize INTENT to Commit Online ‘Hate Speech’
Legislation making its way through the Canadian Parliament would allow citizens to be taken to court and penalized if they are suspected of simply intending to post “hate speech” online.
The proposed law encourages Canadians to report other Canadians to the authorities for intent to post hate speech online, and allows courts to punish Canadian citizens for things they haven’t done yet.
The law was noticed by Substack VP Lulu Cheng Meservey, a citizen of Canada, who drew attention to the bill’s “alarming” aspects.
Alarming aspects, in ascending order:
1) Fuzzy and circular definition of “hateful” speech (“involves detestation…stronger than dislike”)
2) Encouraging citizens to report on one another — creepy
3) The ability to punish people for something they haven’t actually done yet (!)

Patrick Wood: Technocracy and Transhumanism
On Day 6 of the Grand Jury Proceeding by the Peoples’ Court of Public Opinion, Patrick Wood gave his testimony relating to biodiversity and the genetic takeover of all living things.
“The central premise of transhumanism, then, is that biological evolution will eventually be overtaken by advances in genetic, wearable and implantable technologies that artificially expedite the evolutionary process” – World Economic Forum
Patrick M. Wood has studied and written about the global elite for 33 years and is the author of three books on the subject: Trilaterals over Washington; Technocracy Rising; and, Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order.
More Experts Warn U.S. Electric Grid is Extremely Vulnerable to Cyberattacks That Could “knock out the entire grid”
According to an article published last year, “as of 2020, about 65% of electricity meters across the United States had “smart” capabilities including integrated data processing and two-way communications…” Of course, more “Smart” Meters have likely been installed in the U.S. since then.
American opposition to expensive, hazardous, privacy invasive, unreliable, and vulnerable utility “Smart” Meters (electric, gas, and water) has been ongoing since companies first started deploying them. Despite all their issues which include cybersecurity risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), fires and explosions (see 1, 2, 3), and health risks to humans and animals (see 1, 2, 3), proponents still insist that they’re better than more affordable, reliable, and safer traditional 1-way transmitting analog meters
"We Have Some Very, Very Tough Times Ahead" - The Spike Protein Is Inhibiting Cell Repair
Bill Gates hails Australian pandemic response as the Gold Standard
Despite harsh lockdowns, strict health orders and vaccine mandates, Microsoft founder praises Australia’s authoritarian approach to managing the pandemic
“If every country does what Australia did, then you wouldn’t be calling [the world’s next viral outbreak] a pandemic,” said Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Speaking at the 58th Munich Security Conference, Bill Gates applauded Australia’s harsh lockdowns and strict health orders that have gripped the country for two years.
Australia, like New Zealand, spent most of the pandemic pursuing a ‘Covid Zero’ strategy that involved extensive lockdowns imposed on major cities that dragged on for months and vaccine mandate policies which vary in severity depending on the state.
Most acknowledge that these strategies were only possible because the island nations are able to use geography to control the flow of people across borders. As a result, many civil liberties were temporarily suspended in Australia, including the right to protest.
Thank you for your work Lioness!!!
We are living in some treacherous times. Unless the masses awaken and push back against these irresonsible and corrupt world leaders, they can kiss their collective freedom good bye. History shows us the only way we can get it back once it is lost, and that is not pretty. So let us not go there to begin with and avoid all of that.
