Others showed dazed-looking Moroccans weeping, with blood pouring from their heads.
Scott Ritter: Ukrainian Counteroffensive’s Last, Desperate Push
Recent Ukrainian attacks in against the villages of Rabotino and Verbovoe will only lead to further attrition of Kiev’s forces, Scott Ritter, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik's New Rules podcast.
Ukraine is gaining ground in its counteroffensive started in June, claimed NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday, addressing lawmakers at the European Parliament. Does that mean Ukraine has finally achieved a breakthrough after nearly four months and heavy casualties?

"They are HIDING this about China, and it's about to get worse"
We are being treated a barrage of anti-China headlines today. The Wall Street Journal reports that Chinese spies are infiltrating U.S. military bases by asking for a Burger King...That's weird. China is said to be ready to conduct military exercises with Russia and North Korea in response to the U.S. conducting military exercises with South Korea. Huawei released a new smartphone that has the U.S. wondering how they did that. This is a lot of China worry. What is behind it? Carl Zha joins us to discuss this and break this down between the lines.
Israel is returning to the pre-state era of lawless chaos - analysis
At the heart of the story is a struggle for law and order. Either the country would be given over to the law of the gun, or to a state.
In October 1908, a young man arrived in a village called Sajera in the Galilee. The village was perched on the hill above Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee, about a three-hour walk – or 15km – from the south of Safed and east of Nazareth.
It was here that Baron Edmund de Rothschild purchased land in 1902 and over the next few years, families from the area came to carve out a small village. These included a diverse group of Kurdish Jews and some Subbotniks from the Russian Empire. Later, more Jews arrived – Zionists dedicated to building a collective society.
Civil War? 'Blood will be shed,' warns fmr. Israeli security chief
According to former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon, the challenge facing Israel is to "channel all of that energy into a resolution."
Blood will be shed in the Israeli fight for the nation's future in either a military or a judicial coup d'etat, former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon assessed on Friday morning. Speaking at the first Nahalal Conference for Democracy held in the northern Nahalal moshav, Ayalon noted that the judicial reform "which we call a coup d'etat is clashing with the refusal to serve which they refer to as a 'military coup.'
Is There A Secret Plan To Merge Jordan, Gaza And The West Bank As Part Of A Normalization Agreement Between Israel And Saudi Arabia?
Negotiations that are intended to lead to the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia have begun, but they aren’t the only parties that must agree to a potential deal.
These negotiations are being conducted very quietly, because they are touching on issues that are extremely sensitive. As you will see below, we are not likely to learn much about the exact details of the deal that is being formulated until it is finalized.
The Biden administration is brokering these peace negotiations, and one thing we do know is that there will be no normalization of relations unless Israel is willing to make major concessions regarding the Palestinians. Benjamin Netanyahu is unlikely to agree to recognize a full-blown independent Palestinian state, but another plan is being floated that could potentially be acceptable to all of the parties.
Government Gave Millions To Top Reproductive Health Org To Promote COVID-19 Vaccines To Pregnant Women
The premier professional membership organization for obstetricians and gynecologists accepted $11.8 million from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to promote COVID-19 vaccines to pregnant women, despite the exclusion of pregnant women from clinical trials and regulatory data showing the vaccine had not been tested for safety during pregnancy.
To learn more about COVID-19 funding received by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) during the pandemic and what prompted the organization’s guidance on COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women, Dr. James Thorp, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine physician made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2022 to HHS.

Schwab promotes the merging of state and corporate power at Asian Summit
Earlier this week, Klaus Schwab was given a platform at the ASEAN Summit, a meeting of Southeast Asian governments. He took the opportunity to promote the merging of state and corporate power. Why was the head of a non-governmental organisation which represents private corporate interests even there?
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) has ten Member States. As well as establishing “dialogue partners” with many other countries – including “comprehensive partnerships” with Australia, India and China – ASEAN has established partnerships with organisations such as the United Nations (“UN”) and UN Specialised Agencies.
Here’s why all biotechnology experimentation should be outlawed
We know only a limited outline of how genes function. What we don’t know is a far larger area of knowledge than what we do know. Blinded by pride, biotechnology advocates are pretending to know far more than they do. They know very little, but incredibly have promised the public that they will soon cure all diseases. This is not true.
Biotechnology does not have any track record of economic, agricultural, or health benefits. In fact, the reverse is true. During a TED Talk in 2017, the Chief Medical Officer of Moderna, Tal Zaks, said: “…we are hacking the software of life [the genetic code] … [and] that has profound implications for the cure of everything from flu to cancer.”

Government PERSECUTION of Golden Valley Farms food co-op proves once again that FDA, USDA should both be ABOLISHED
Clean food producers who operate independently of government regulators continue to face the ire of said regulators, which refuse to tolerate community-based nourishment programs such as food cooperatives and cow share programs.
One of the latest victims is Golden Valley Farms, a Virginia-based family farm run by Samuel Fisher, who is Amish. As we recently reported, Fisher's 100-acre cattle farm is in the crosshairs of the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., which disapproves of people buying Fisher's meat and dairy products.

How BlackRock ESG Agenda Triggered the Global Energy Crisis
“Adherence to UN 2030 Sustainability Agenda” – colossal dis-investment in the trillion-dollar global oil and gas sector has created rippled effects which have already destabilized the global economy, and much more.
Most people are bewildered by what is a global energy crisis, with prices for oil, gas and coal simultaneously soaring and even forcing closure of major industrial plants such as chemicals or aluminum or steel. The Biden Administration and EU have insisted that all is because of Putin and Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. This is not the case.
New Energy Bill Could See Brits Jailed For Failing To Comply With “Cultish” Net-Zero Regs
U.K. businesses and homeowners could be jailed for up to a year or fined £15,000 for non-compliance with new energy efficiency regulations proposed by the Conservative government, which have been described by critics as a “massive expansion of the state and its power over our lives.”
The Energy Bill, which returned to parliament for its third reading this week, outlines several new requirements homeowners must adhere to in relation to Net Zero, the government’s commitment to being carbon neutral by 2050. For the first time, individuals face criminal charges for failing to comply with measures designed to reduce the country’s carbon footprint.
Secret Memo Raises More Questions About UFO Shootdowns Over Alaska, Canada
Following the shootdown of three unidentified objects in three days over Alaska, the Yukon and Lake Huron in February and the downing of a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina a week earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a secret memo laying out how the Canadian government was responding to the Feb. 11 Yukon incident. In addition, it stated the "full exploitation" of whatever the U.S. Air Force shot down over the waters of Alaska on Feb. 10 had "not yet been completed." Reports a few days laterstated that the U.S. had called off the search for wreckage of the downed object. Exactly what kind of intelligence exploitation this is referring to is unclear.
