Desperate Ukraine Launches Massive Kamikaze Drone Attack Against Russian Black Sea Coast, Sparking Fire At Major Refinery

In defiance of repeated warnings from the Biden administration, the Ukrainian military continues ramping up kamikaze drone attacks on the Russian energy complex, a move to crush the nation's crude oil and crude product export revenues and curtail Moscow's ability to fund President Putin's 'special operation' in Ukraine. 

A fire broke out overnight at Rosneft PJSC's large Tuapse refinery on the Black Sea. According to Bloomberg, this wave of overnight drone attacks is one of the largest by Ukraine in the multi-year war.

West ‘playing with fire’ - Moscow

Ukraine has increased attacks on Russian border regions using NATO-supplied missiles and bombs

he West only risks further escalation by arming and encouraging Kiev to strike Russian territory, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday. The warning comes as Ukrainian strikes against Russian cities intensify on the backdrop of Kiev losing ground in the Kharkov Region. “The profile of the American and British handlers of the [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky regime is clearly visible behind these barbaric attacks,” Zakharova told reporters. “They are not only providing longer-range missiles and heavy weapons, but are giving a green light to their use against Russia.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping adopted a joint statement on deepening the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between their countries. The two agreed to boost the level of bilateral investment cooperation while resisting any attempts to limit their economic potential.

Russia and China will not allow the West's schemes to disrupt their trade ties, says a Chinese academic. Key agreements concluded during President Vladimir Putin’s state visit can be seen as a “resounding statement” that Russia and China won’t let business relations between them be the subject of "blackmail or coercion from a third country,” Dr John Gong, professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing told Sputnik.

US, Iran, in first talks in months, discuss Middle East stability - reports

This was the first round of discussions between the two countries since January. The talks were mediated by Omani officials, with this occurring nearly over a month.

Iranian officials held indirect talks with two Biden administration officials this week in Oman to de-escalate attacks in the Middle East, sources of the talks told Axios and Walla on Friday. The two officials from the Biden administration were Brett McGurk, the US president's top Middle East adviser, and Abram Paley, who is the US envoy for Iran.

Why the dollar will lose its status as the global reserve currency

By the early 400s, the Roman Empire was coming apart at the seams and in desperate need of strong, competent leadership. In theory, Honorius should have been the right man for the job.

Born into the royal household in Constantinople, Honorius had been groomed to rule, practically since birth, by the finest experts in the realm. So even as a young man, Honorius had already accumulated decades of experience. Yet Rome’s foreign adversaries rightfully believed Honorius to be weak, out of touch, divisive, and completely inept.

No cause of death has been announced, but this person told The Post cardiac arrest is suspected.

The Trouble With World Government

Well, at least that’s one setback for world government.

A court in Australia has told the government’s own eSafety Commission that Elon Musk is correct: One country cannot impose censorship on the world. The company X, formerly known as Twitter, must obey national law but not global law. Mr. Musk seems to have won a very similar fight in Brazil, where a judge demanded not just a national but global takedown. X refused and won. For now.

WHO's Fascist F**kery: "Homicidal Racketeering Scheme Masquerading As Disease Prevention"

While our country sleepwalks through the deadly aftermath of the evil Covid-19 operation, the World Health Organization (WHO) puts the final touches on a nice bit of fuckery called its Pandemic Treaty on International Health Regulations (IHR) or “One Health” initiative, a Globalist power grab disguised in the saintly white robes of public health medicine. The agreement, to be finalized at the end of this month, will cede what’s left of your liberty to this unelected bureaucracy for the sake of global “equity and inclusivity,” meaning more lockdowns, constant surveillance, forced “vaccinations,” restrictions on medications, and censorship of anyone who voices a contrary opinion of these actions.

Japan and Africa Oppose WHO Global Coup!

The US corporate media is failing to inform Americans about the World Health Organization’s global coup with the WHO Pandemic Treaty and International Health Regulation (IHR) amendments which will be voted on May 27-June 1! However, many Europeans nations are rejecting the treaty. Japan rejects the WHO power grab. Africa Unites Against WHO World Power Grab explains that Africa led the fight against the WHO’s takeover in 2022. The video further below shows that Africa is again standing up!

CULTURE OF DEATH: Netherlands Approves Assisted Suicide Death for Young and Healthy Woman Battling Depression

As we’ve discussed before, the culture of death continues to expand in many decadent Western cultures, and this descent into lunacy is making Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide increasingly normalized options for people who mostly seem plagued by the lack of competent healthcare.

In fact, it’s become a kind of ‘vogue’, generating stories like this: Canadian Hospital Suggests Euthanasia to Suicidal Woman Who Went There For Help.

Or this: Euthanasia on the Rise: The Culture of Death Creates a High Tech ‘Sarcophagus’, While Suggesting ‘Assisted Suicide’ To Disabled People.

State Dept issues worldwide terror alert amid threat of violence against LGBT

The US State Department on Friday issued a worldwide caution security alert, saying it is aware of increased potential for foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence against LGBTQ+ people and events.

Federal Court: Parents in Maryland School District Cannot Opt K-5 Children Out of LGBTQ Curriculum

A federal court on Wednesday upheld a Maryland school district policy that does not allow parents to opt their young K-5 children out of curriculum about gender identity and sexuality.

In a 2-1 panel decision released by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, federal judges affirmed a lower court decision denying the request of religious parents to block the policy issued by the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) board in March of 2023. Judge G. Steven Agee, a President George W. Bush appointee, wrote the majority opinion stating that parents did not present enough evidence to show that the policy violates the free exercise of their religion and their due process right to direct their children’s education.

Digital legal identity is key to climate and energy crisis response, UNDP argues

In an era where legal identity is the gateway to essential services, 850 million people worldwide lack the means to establish theirs. This global identity gap, however, finds a potential bridge in the embrace of digitalization, with a major side benefit, a blog post by UNDP claims.

Digital legal identity stands as a cornerstone of digital public infrastructure, offering a pathway to inclusion and efficiency through interoperability among diverse systems. Foundational registries like civil and national ID databases provide data for evidence-based policymaking. Yet, the integrity of this data relies on protection measures for privacy and security.

I'm Australian, but live in Iceland : a country that already has an all-encompassing digital ID system. If you're wondering how Australia's new system will play out, I'll tell you here.

Commie Pope Francis Tells 60 Minutes that Conservativism Is “A Suicidal Attitude”

During his homily, Red Francis preached that “sharing ownership is not communism but is pure Christianity.”

Of course, that was complete nonsense Sharing ownership is exactly the definition of communism. In January 2022 Pope Francis lectured to tax authorities that taxation is “a necessary tool for wealth redistribution.” Rush Limbaugh was right way back in 2013 when called this pope a Marxist. Pope Francis has worked tirelessly to isolate and other conservative Catholics during his reign as leader of the Catholic Church.

DAYS OF LOT: Billie Eilish debuts lesbian anthem “Lunch”

WARNING: The following content may be offensive to some readers.

Billie Eilish is only 22, but she’s never shied away from making cutting-edge music. On Wednesday night she debuted her new album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center. Young women packed the arena, but what they got was lyrics of the new generation. Goodbye, Taylor Swift songs about breaking up with boys. It’s a new world now. “I could eat that girl for lunch/Yeah, she dances on my tongue/Tastes like she might be the one/And I can never get enough/I could buy her so much stuff/It’ a craving, not a crush. Yeah.” I don’t think we’ll be hearing that on top 40 radio or in the carpool with the station turned up. But who knows?

Federal agencies must now deliver all UFO reports for public disclosure – including classified material

Federal agencies have until October 20th to deliver every document, audio and video they have about UFOs to the US government for distribution to the public.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued the instructions this month — putting into action the UFO disclosure amendment to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as signed into law last December. The guidelines reveal the latest strategy to compel unwilling parts of the US military and the intelligence community into revealing everything they know about the mysterious airborne events, now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

2,000-YEAR-OLD LABYRINTH OF TUNNELS DISCOVERED IN GALILEE, ISRAEL

Hiding Underground from the Romans

An impressive 2,000-year-old underground labyrinth of tunnels has been revealed at Huqoq, a known Jewish archaeological site located just north of Tiberias with a striking view of the Sea of Galilee. The shelters were dug in preparation for the First Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire in AD 66 and the later Bar Kokhba Revolt of AD 132-136. The network was dug “for families to hide while the Romans were here, because they feared for their lives, for their children,” said Uri Berger, excavation director of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). “We were amazed to see how big this complex is.”
