Macron wants Crimea seized from Russia
No ‘lasting peace’ is possible without Ukraine gaining control of the Russian peninsula, the French president has claimed
Ukraine must regain control over all the territories it once held, including Russia’s Crimean Peninsula, French President Emmanuel Macron has said. Otherwise, no “lasting peace” will be possible, he claimed. The president made the remarks on Thursday in an interview with broadcasters TF2 and France 2, bluntly describing Russia as France’s “adversary.” At the same time, he insisted that Paris has not been “waging war on Russia” but merely “supporting” Kiev in the conflict.
Kremlin responds to Macron’s claim Russia an ‘adversary’
France seemingly wants to increase its involvement in the Ukraine conflict, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
French President Emmanuel Macron is right to call Moscow an “adversary” because Paris is already indirectly involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. In an interview with the TF1 and France 2 channels on Thursday, Macron insisted that France is “not waging war on Russia” by supporting Kiev, but stated that his government is doing its utmost to ensure a Ukrainian victory. He described Moscow as an “adversary” of France, but declined to brand it an “enemy.”
Germany backs French push to arm Ukraine with long-range weapons
Berlin has so far refused to provide Kiev with Taurus cruise missiles
European countries intend to create yet another “capability coalition” to supply Ukrainian forces with long-range weapons, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Friday, echoing an initiative floated by French President Emmanuel Macron. During a joint press conference with Macron and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Berlin on Friday, the German chancellor stated that the countries have agreed to expand their own production of military equipment and “procure even more weapons for Ukraine, on the overall world market.”
Berlin Supports Tapping Frozen Russian Assets for Ukrainian Arms - Scholz
The West has been orchestrating a way to supply Ukraine with arms by using money from frozen Russian central bank assets for more than a year. Meanwhile, Moscow has maintained that any theft of their frozen assets will trigger a symmetrical response. On Friday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that European countries would use the windfall profits from nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to enable their weapon purchases for Ukraine, according to a recent report from a New York City journal.
Patriot Missile Systems Too Complex and Expensive to Be Sent to Ukraine Without US Chaperones
While more and more US-supplied weapon systems are taken out by Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict, the Pentagon vehemently denies the presence of US military personnel in Ukraine who may be operating and maintaining this hardware.
Though a spokesperson for the Pentagon told Russian media that there are no US personnel in Ukraine servicing Patriot missile launchers or some other US hardware, retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, a former analyst for the US Department of Defense, did not seem convinced by these claims. “I think the US government is lying, by omission and also directly, on this question of US servicemen operating or maintaining equipment, specifically the Patriot system, in Ukraine,” Kwiatkowski told Sputnik.

On Friday – day one of Russia’s three-day nationwide presidential vote – there were several incidents in which people poured green dye into ballot boxes, or committed acts of arson. The offenders have been detained and face up to five years in prison.

Russia's governing party United Russia said on Saturday that it was facing a widespread denial of service attack - a form of cyberattack that snarls internet use - against its online presence, and had suspended non-essential services to repel the attack.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is running in Russia's presidential election as an independent candidate with United Russia's support, has accused Ukraine of seeking to sabotage the polls, which he is virtually certain to win.
Putin Vows Ukraine Will Pay For Election Day Attacks On Civilians
Today is election day in Russia, and it is quite obvious who will emerge victorious as the country's next president. However, Ukraine has chosen the eve of election day and into Friday to send a 'message' - while apparently losing a lot of men in the process.
There have been repeat significant cross-border ground and shelling attacks from Ukraine in the past 48 hours. Russia's defense ministry (MoD) announced Friday morning that it "repelled" the latest major attempted incursion in the Belgorod region on the border.
Ukrainian authorities launch mass evacuation in northern region
Ukrainian authorities have begun mass evacuations of communities in the country's northern Sumy region close to the Russian border after extended periods of intense shelling of the area, local officials said on Friday.
The military administration of Sumy region, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said more than 180 residents of areas near the Velikopysarska community, next to the border, had been evacuated over the past three days.
Japan To Restart World's Largest Nuclear Power Plant
Japan is stepping up efforts to have local authorities approve the restart of the world’s biggest nuclear power plant, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa facility north of Tokyo, Japanese newspaper Niigata Nippo reported on Friday.
Next week, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ken Saito, is expected to ask the local governor of the Niigata prefecture to approve the restart of the power plant, according to the newspaper report. In the wake of the Fukushima disaster in 2011, Japan closed all its nuclear power plants that underwent rigorous safety checks and inspections. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa has been offline since 2012, while the Nuclear Regulation Authority in 2021 barred the plant’s operator, utility Tepco, from operating the facility due to safety breaches.
Another Ship Hit By Missile In Red Sea; Former NATO Commander Warns 'Maritime Risk' Highest Ever
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have attacked more than 40 merchant vessels amid the ongoing war in Gaza and severed several undersea communication cables. The Biden administration's Operation Prosperity Guardian, a US-led naval coalition to shield commercial ships from drone and missile attacks, continues to fail as another ship was hit by a missile Friday.
"A merchant vessel has reported that they have been struck by a missile and the vessel has sustained some damage. The crew are reported safe and the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call," UK Maritime Trade Operations, a part of the navy that provides maritime, wrote on X. The attack on the vessel occurred around 0400 local time on Friday and 76 nautical miles west of the port city of Al Hudaydah. No details about the vessel's name or type of ship were released.
Doha Hunts For Whistleblowers Who Revealed Qatar's Funding Of ISIS
Qatar National Bank (QNB) and Qatar Charity (QC) are attempting to uncover the identities of confidential sources that supplied documents to lawyers representing the family of murdered US journalist Steven Sotloff, which allege the financial institutions – acting at the behest of Qatar’s royal family – wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to the ISIS judge who ordered Sotloff’s execution.
QNB and QC filed an application on March 12 in the US to obtain "limited discovery" of the law firm representing Sotloff’s family, specifically regarding the names of those who provided the bank records linking Doha to the murder. In an email to Bloomberg, the general counsel for QNB confirmed the filing and said the bank "is the victim of an effort to tarnish its reputation" and plans to hold the individuals "to account to the fullest extent of the law." Sotloff and another US journalist, James Foley, were beheaded in 2014 by ISIS in Syria. The terrorist group published videos of its executions online directed at US government officials.
Senior Hamas and Houthi figures held rare meeting to coordinate actions against Israel
Senior figures from Hamas and Yemen’s Houthi rebels held a rare meeting to discuss coordinating their actions against Israel, Palestinian factional sources tell AFP.
Hamas and the Houthis belong to the “axis of resistance,” a collection of Iran-backed movements hostile to Israel and the United States that also includes Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iraqi militias. The Houthis have attacked Red Sea shipping for months since the Israel-Hamas war was triggered by the Palestinian terror group’s October 7 attack, saying they are targeting Israeli-linked vessels in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Netanyahu approves Rafah operation, Israeli officials to head to Qatar
An outbreak of violence on the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as al-Haram, al-Sharif could have impacted the possibility of a deal.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved a military operation for Rafahin Southern Gaza, that will also include the evacuation of civilians, his office said on Friday after the war cabinet met in the early afternoon. The Rafah operation has been one of the levers Israel has used to pressure Hamas to make a deal for the return of the remaining 134 captives held in the enclave. The international community has opposed the move fearing for the fate of the over 1.3 million Palestinians in the area of Rafah, many of whom fled there to escape bombing in northern Gaza.
Saudi report: ‘Still no breakthrough’ in talks for hostage deal, ceasefire
The Saudi television network Al-Arabiya, cited by the Ynet news site, reports that there is “still no breakthrough in the negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages.”
The report cites unnamed Egyptian officials who say there are “obstacles” preventing an agreement. “Hamas did not say how many hostages are still alive, and Israel will not agree to allow all the displaced Palestinians in the south of the Strip to return freely to the north,” an anonymous official tells the outlet.
Iran reportedly pushed US to broker Gaza ceasefire during secret talks in Oman
NYT reports that US in turn asked for Tehran to halt attacks by its proxies in Yemen, Iraq and Syria, which Iranian officials claim they can’t do unless fighting ends in Gaza
During recent indirect talks, Iran asked the Biden administration to bring about a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war while the US pressed Tehran to curb attacks by its proxies, according to a New York Times report published Friday. The report offered further details on the January meeting in Oman between the Biden administration’s Middle East czar Brett McGurk and special envoy on Iran Abram Paley, and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani, which was first reported by The Financial Times.
Undersea Cable Damage Causes Internet Outages Across Africa
(Bloomberg) -- Damage to four subsea cables off the west coast of Africa is disrupting internet services across the continent.
The West Africa Cable System, MainOne, South Atlantic 3 and ACE sea cables — arteries for telecommunications data — were all affected on Thursday and early Friday, triggering outages and connectivity issues for a second day for mobile operators and internet service providers, according to data from internet-analysis firms including NetBlocks, Kentik and Cloudflare. The cause of the cable faults has not yet been determined.
CONTROLLED CRISIS EXPOSED: Failed BANKS To Be BOUGHT by Mysterious "BLANK CHEQUE Investor"
The Feds Gave Banks Tools To Shut Down Your Accounts If You Buy Guns Or Bibles
The same government pressure erecting an Iron Curtain around the Internet is also constructing a financial social credit system like Communist China’s inside the United States.
Federal agencies gave banks automated censorship tools to flag as possible domestic terrorists any Americans who buy Bibles or support the enforcement of immigration law, says testimony today before a House committee. “Federal agencies are funding tools for the financial sector similar to those social media is using to target misinformation and hate speech,” says written testimony from Jeremy Tedesco, senior counsel at the nonprofit First Amendment law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). “Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Global cancer phenomenon: It's not just America... the UK, Japan, South Africa and Australia are among dozens of countries suffering mystery spikes of all different kinds of tumors in young people
Doctors across the world are sounding the alarm over a surging epidemic of young people being diagnosed with cancers more commonly associated with the elderly.
Between 1990 and 2019, cases of cancer in young people across the globe have increased by 79 percent and deaths have risen 28 percent. Studies project diagnoses will continue to rise by 31 percent and deaths will rise by 21 percent in 2030. Nearly every continent is experiencing an increase of various types of cancer in people under 50 years old, which is particularly problematic as the disease tends to be caught in later stages in this population because most doctors aren't trained to look for it in young people.

WHO staff rape children and UN “peacekeepers” kill and injure civilians, yet they demand more control over our lives
Not only is the World Health Organisation’s Director-General a terrorist, but WHO has rapists and terrorists on its staff.
WHO is an agency of the United Nations (“UN”). There are sex scandals involving the UN as well. There have been UN sex trafficking scandals reported in Bosnia and Kosovo, as well as a notoriously ignominious child sex ring organised in Haiti. The UN’s violence against civilians doesn’t end with rape and sex crimes. UN “peacekeepers” have indiscriminately killed and injured civilians in Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
USAID’s “Disinformation Primer:” Documents Reveal Censorship Promotion Across Sectors
The agency has been promoting censorship initiatives through a 97-page document aimed at various sectors including private companies, media outlets, governments, and education institutions.
The authorities in the US are once again caught red-handed promoting censorship, this time via the US Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID is normally used by the US government to spread its influence around the world, but now, according to documents from a case against the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), the agency also actively participates in analyzing and spreading various censorship methods.
Boeing Whistleblower: “If Anything Happens to Me, It’s Not Suicide”
The Boeing whistleblower who supposedly killed himself reportedly told a close family friend not to believe it if it was announced he had committed suicide.
62-year-old John Barnett died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Charleston County coroner’s office in South Carolina said earlier this week. Barnett had previously raised concerns about the company’s production issues having worked for the company for 32 years before leaving in 2017. According to his attorneys, Barnett had “exposed very serious safety problems with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and was retaliated against and subjected to a hostile work environment” and was in the middle of a legal deposition against Boeing.
Oh Canada: Parliament Moves To Impose Potential Life Imprisonment For Speech Crimes
We have previously discussed the unrelenting attacks by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his allies on free speech. There has been a steady criminalization of speech, including even jokes and religious speech, in Canada.
Now, the Canadian parliament is moving toward a new change that would allow the imposition of life imprisonment on those who post views deemed supportive of genocide. With a growing movement calling Israel’s war in Gaza “genocide,” the potential scope of such a law is readily apparent. That appears to be its very draw for anti-free speech advocates in the country. The Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63 increases the potential penalties from five years to life imprisonment. It also increases the penalty for the willful promotion of hatred (a dangerously ill-defined crime) from two years to five years.
Net Zero, The Digital Panopticon, & The Future Of Food
The food transition, the energy transition, net-zero ideology, programmable central bank digital currencies, the censorship of free speech and clampdowns on protest. What’s it all about? To understand these processes, we need to first locate what is essentially a social and economic reset within the context of a collapsing financial system.
Writer Ted Reece notes that the general rate of profit has trended downwards from an estimated 43% in the 1870s to 17% in the 2000s. By late 2019, many companies could not generate enough profit. Falling turnover, squeezed margins, limited cashflows and highly leveraged balance sheets were prevalent.
Hackers take over family’s Cricket Wireless account, shut down phones and take over financial apps
All of one family’s smartphones were taken over, including their banking apps, after their wireless account was hacked. Now, more than four months later, they’re still trying to regain control of their digital lives. The single account was linked to five phones, and one day every one of them was shut down.
“[They] went into SOS mode, meaning we weren’t able to use cellular service. Couldn’t receive phone calls or text messages,” said Mike, who lives in the Chicago suburbs. He did not want to use his last name or exact location because he fears scammers are still targeting him and his family. Mike and his wife are blocked from their Amazon and social media accounts.
El Salvador set to transfer a ‘big chunk’ of bitcoin to a physical vault
El Salvador will transfer “a big chunk” of its bitcoin assets to an offline device that will be stored in a physical vault within the Central American country’s territory, President Nayib Bukele said on Thursday.
“We’ve decided to transfer a big chunk of our Bitcoin to a cold wallet, and store that cold wallet in a physical vault within our national territory,” Bukele, who last month was re-elected to a second term as president, said in a post on X. “It’s not much, but it’s honest work.” According to Bukele’s social media account on Thursday, El Salvador’s bitcoin portfolio is at close to $407 million.
Doctors’ Offices to be Replaced with Smart Home Digital Medical Prisons
It has been well-reported in the corporate media that hundreds of thousands of medical professionals have quit or retired since COVID, and those that remain are over-worked and unhappy, with many planning on retiring within the next few years.
Millions of people in the U.S. have died or been disabled since the COVID scam started in 2020, further burdening the medical system as patients increase, while medical professionals and services have decreased. The corporate media blames this on the fake COVID “virus”, but many in the alternative media know better, and like myself, have documented how most of these deaths and injuries are actually due to the COVID shots and other COVID protocols that were implemented starting in 2020, showing how it was the medical system itself that caused most of these casualties.
Macron now says to retake Crimea, surely he knows that would turn nuclear, if the forces to do it existed, which they don't. He too, is "a special kind of idiot," unless he is just following a script like everybody else.
Macron seems like a idiot.
