Scott Ritter: Ukraine’s ‘Counteroffensive’ - Myth or Reality?

'We have to defang and defund them!' Matt Gaetz suggests FBI agents should be INDICTED after Durham report that found no Trump collusion with Russia - as Bureau issues groveling statement
Matt Gaetz suggested FBI agents should be fired and prosecuted over the Durham report, which concluded the Bureau should never have launched the probe into whether Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Gaetz said the agency should be defunded and 'defanged', describing the agents' actions as 'ugly', after Durham ruled there was insufficient evidence to probe Trump in the first place.

The one-minute clip showed the female Army officer standing by as the horde shuffled onto private property Monday morning.
The new immigration bill is a Trojan horse for E-Verify and is a threat to all Americans
(Natural News) Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are set to vote this week on new legislation that would greatly increase the federal government’s power over private businesses, workers, and US citizens. Unfortunately, much of the GOP majority is supportive of the legislation—the “Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023” (HR 2640)—because it is being marketed as a bill “to secure the border.”
Much of the bill contains reasonable provisions such allowing state attorneys general the authority to sue the federal government for refusing to detain illegal aliens. Other provisions include denying asylum and residency to known criminals.

Filed in a US district court in New York on Monday, the subpoena ordered Musk to turn over all communications he may have had with Epstein or JPMorgan, documents showing any fees he may have paid to the US banking giant, as well as all material “regarding Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex” dating back to 2002.
Emmanuel Macron Meeting With Elon Musk Today In Paris To Discuss ‘Digital Regulation’ And 15-Minute Cities
Emmanuel Macron and Elon Musk holding meetings in France today to discuss ‘digital regulation’ and 15-minute cities, that can’t be good
On his Twitter feed today, just about an hour ago, Emmanuel Macron tweeted out that “we talked about the attractiveness of France and the significant progress in the electric vehicle and energy sectors. We also talked about digital regulation. We have so much to do together. See you this afternoon at the #ChooseFrance Summit!” Well my, my, isn’t that an interesting pairing of people? The world’s richest man Elon Musk meeting with the one we call the possible ‘man of sin’, Emmanuel Macron. I wonder what might come of this?
Chemicals Found in Common Disinfectants Linked to Asthma, Birth Defects and Infertility
Disinfectants have had a moment since the COVID-19 pandemic began — and scientists are warning that this widespread use is spurring health problems, antimicrobial resistance and harming the environment.
“It’s ironic that the chemicals we’re deploying in vain for one health crisis are actually fueling another,” Erica Hartmann, a co-author of a new study examining the dangers of disinfectants and an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University, said in a statement.
Surveillance Contractor Monitored Vaccine Skeptics, Report Says
Flashpoint, a surveillance contractor for the FBI, infiltrated chatrooms of airline industry groups that opposed vaccine mandates, according to a report by investigative journalist Lee Fang.
In the past, Flashpoint infiltrated Islamic terror groups. But it has since focused on vaccine skeptic groups and other domestic political groups.
Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common
But new tools show promise in tackling growing symptom of academia’s “publish or perish” culture
When neuropsychologist Bernhard Sabel put his new fake-paper detector to work, he was “shocked” by what it found. After screening some 5000 papers, he estimates up to 34% of neuroscience papers published in 2020 were likely made up or plagiarized; in medicine, the figure was 24%. Both numbers, which he and colleagues report in a medRxiv preprint posted on 8 May, are well above levels they calculated for 2010—and far larger than the 2% baseline estimated in a 2022 publishers’ group report.

WHO Pushes “Early Childhood Masturbation” For Toddlers, Encourages Questions About Gender Identity For Kids Aged 4
“sexuality education starts from birth”
Backlash has ensued following the renewed focus on the World Health Organisation’s “sexuality education” guidance for schools to provide to children as young as four years old.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the guidance states that children under four should be encouraged to “ask questions about sexuality” and “explore gender identities.”
The 68-page report titled Standards For Sexuality Education in Europe, also calls for supplying information to toddlers about “enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body, early childhood masturbation.”
The Life and Times of WHO’s Director General as Ethiopian Terrorist and human rights abuser
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus should never have been elected Director-General of the WHO. He should have been charged with crimes against the Ethiopian people.
His period as a minister in the Ethiopian government between 2005 and 2016 should have disqualified him from any international office. Few governments could be as bad as the one Tedros served in for 11 years but, instead of charging him for his crimes, the global community promoted him to Director-General of the World Health Organisation.
Entering the singularity: Has AI reached the point of no return?
The theory of technological singularity predicts a point in time when humans lose control over their technological inventions and subsequent developments due to the rise of machine consciousness and, as a result, their superior intelligence. Reaching singularity stage, in short, constitutes artificial intelligence’s (AI’s) greatest threat to humanity. Unfortunately, AI singularity is already underway.
