    ​ US Created Ukraine Conflict to Keep Europe ‘Under Its Thumb’
    ​ On Thursday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban relented to pressure from the EU and finally allowed €50 billion in military and financial aid to be transferred to Ukraine after blocking the funding for more than a month. The funds are ostensibly planned to fund Ukraine until 2027 and came as US aid remains stalled in Congress.
    ​ Before the latest aid package was approved by the EU, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg remarked at a Monday news conference in Washington, DC, that “weapons are – in fact – the way to peace [in Ukraine],” but that’s not quite the case, an analyst told Sputnik.
    ​ Dr. David Oualaalou told Sputnik’s Critical Hour on Wednesday that Stoltenberg’s assertion “defies logic” and asserted that Ukraine is already “gone.”
    Oualaalou argued that Europe was pushed into supporting Ukraine by the US, which is not “paying the price” of that support in the same way Europe is. He added that the economic situation in Europe, largely brought on by the consequences of their support of Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, makes the continent reliant on the US.
    ​ He added that his family members in Europe acknowledge that European countries are “going down faster than we can even imagine,” and pointed to the farmer and worker protests breaking out across the continent.
    ​ Complicating matters further, Oualaalou argued, is that even with monetary aid being sent to Ukraine, Europe is too short on ammunition to give Ukraine much that will help them on the battlefield.

    ​ ‘We Shot Ourselves in the Head’: Mass European Farmer Protests Blowback for Ukraine Support
    Elijah Magnier told Sputnik’s Fault Lines on Wednesday that the root causes of the protests stem from Europe’s decision “to follow the United States policy and join the war against Russia.”​ “We shot ourselves in the foot, basically that’s very soft – we shot ourselves in the head and now we are paying the price,” Magnier said.
    ​ He noted how everything from energy to consumer food prices has skyrocketed in Europe, but that has not caused European leaders to change course. “Now, they are attacking the heart of Europe that are the farmers … they can no longer stand on their feet with the difference of prices, with the increase of price [for consumers and] the lower price that the markets are buying off of them.”
    ​ Co-host Jamarl Thomas asked Magnier what demands the farmers have. Magnier replied that they want protection from cheap products coming out of Ukraine, subsidies on diesel fuel to be reinstated, the rollback of European Green New Deal regulations that limit when and what crops are allowed to be planted and a fair price from the supermarket that matches the cost of living increases in Europe.
    ​ Part of the issue, says Magnier is that the EU hamstrings what the individual countries’ leaders can do to respond to their population.
    In particular, Magnier explained, farmers are angry that they have to follow the new regulations but Ukraine is allowed to skirt them under the guise that they are at war.
    “The farmers today are waking up [to] the consequences of the Ukrainian conflict and they are saying ‘we have to be completely detached from what is happening in Ukraine because this is not our war​.’”

    ​ Zelensky Wants Zaluzhny Out Over Alleged Effort to Pursue Ceasefire With Russia – Hersh
    ​ On Monday, Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko said, citing sources, that Zaluzhny was allegedly ordered to resign. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Zelensky’s spokesman denied the claims.
    “Zelensky’s desire to fire his commanding general is the result, some Americans believe, of his knowledge that Zaluzhny had continued to participate – whether directly or through aides is not known – in secret talks since last fall with American and other Western officials on how best to achieve a ceasefire and negotiate an end to the war with Russia,” Hersh said on Thursday.​..
    According to reports, Zelensky was forced to reverse his decision as international partners, including the United States and the United Kingdom, expressed concern about Zelensky’s actions.
    Zelensky reportedly met with Zaluzhny to inform the general of the decision to fire him. Instead, Zelensky offered Zaluzhny the post of secretary of the country’s security council, but Zaluzhny turned it down.
    The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence service, Kyrylo Budanov, and the commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, were named candidates for the post of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, the report added.

    ​ Ukraine’s ground forces commander Oleksandr Syrskyi was offered the job of replacing his boss Valeriy Zaluzhnyi as commander of the armed forces, but declined, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

    ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 119: Israel vows to push forward into Rafah, leaving Palestinians with nowhere left to flee
    Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declares the Israeli ground invasion will continue into Rafah, where 1.9 million civilians are currently sheltering. One Palestinian tells Reuters, “If the tanks storm in, it will be a massacre like never before.”

    ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 119: Israel vows to push forward into Rafah, leaving Palestinians with nowhere left to flee

    ​ Israel and Hamas appear to be inching closer towards a deal for a ceasefire and a release of some of the hostages still being held by the militant group in Gaza, while the UN children’s agency has warned that 17,000 children have been left without families or been separated from them by the conflict.​..
    ​..However, while an aide to Hamas’s political leader said the group had received details of the proposed deal, it had yet to deliver a reply.​ A Qatari official later clarified to Reuters that there was “no deal yet” and that although “Hamas has received the proposal positively”, Qatar was “waiting for their response”.

    Meryl Nass MD , The WHO Constitution is at Odds with the WHO’s Attempted Power Grab
    ​..Article 23 states that the WHA can make recommendations to members about any issue in which it has competence, but it fails to say that it can issue regulations over as broad a range of issues.
    ​ I conclude that the extent of the powers that will accrue to the WHO as proposed in the amendments to the IHR exceed the scope for which the WHO is permitted to issue regulations. Therefore, if the WHO wishes to ask the WHA to approve the amended IHR, it must do so as a treaty, agreement or convention, and not as amendments to the IHR. This would require a 2/3 vote of the WHA.​..
    ..Articles 59 and 60 specify how votes will occur. Within the WHO Constitution there is no delegation of authority to committees or to consensus processes in lieu of voting by the WHA. Yet decisions on past IHR amendments appear to have been delegated to committees that used a so-called ‘consensus procedure’ without a vote.

    ​ He was always right, of course… TORONTO: The Democracy Fund (TDF) announces that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) today formally withdrew charges against Dr. Jean Marc Benoit, which alleged that his posts on X (formerly Twitter) during the COVID-19 pandemic were “disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.”
    Dr. Benoit is a family and emergency physician who works in various clinical and hospital settings. During his career, he has assumed leadership roles, including appointments as Acting Chief of Staff and President of the Medical Staff Association at the Brantford General Hospital. Dr. Benoit also has academic and research interests and has been published in peer-reviewed medical literature.
    During the early days of the declared pandemic, Dr. Benoit followed the latest data and stayed on top of COVID-19 developments. He was proactive in engaging with officials, from the hospital level through to government, asking them to employ best practices in pandemic management.

    ​ Study: COVID-19 vaccination is ‘strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis’
    ​ Pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety has thrown some more cold water on that persistent narrative, indicating that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death.”
    ​ “COVID-19 vaccines induce an uncontrolled expression of potentially lethal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within human cells, have a close temporal relationship of events, and are internally and externally consistent with emerging sources of clinical and peer-reviewed data supporting the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines are deterministic for myocarditis, including fatal cases,” the study claims.
    ​ The study is the result of an effort on the part of Texas cardiologist Peter McCullough, biologist Jessica Rose, and researcher Nicolas Hulscher to further explore links between COVID-19 vaccination and heart inflammation using the vaccine adverse events report system.

    But I gotta tell you, the video up there where someone has taken footage of MLK jr and altered his words to make it appear as if he is endorsing Trump is neither funny nor witty. It is abusive to the memory of MLK, Jr. and perhaps even actionable, should his family want to sue for the defamation of his legacy.

    It’s AI/meme team. Prepare for a lot more of it.

    YOU are the joke, people voicing outrage at the AI MLK meme.

    YOU are the punchline integral to that meme. It doesn’t fully exist without exactly the participation you gave it. And you not getting what and how is also integral to the meme hitting home fully.

    Pearl clutching WORDS:

    neither funny nor witty.. just dumb…abusive perhaps even actionable… sue for the defamation …exaggerated that it becomes repulsive …gunned him down like a dog to stop him from speaking …truly grievous loss …some twit somewhere has decided to make a complete mockery …too repugnant and offensive…

    for inscrutable reasons

    It’s only inscrutable if you didn’t actually watch it or listen to the words and lived in a hole since at least 2015.

    “ISLAM IS RIGHT ABOUT WOMEN”

    “Upsetting, unnecessary, insulting, unnerving, disgusting, unsettling, short-sighted, unfortunate, terrible.”

    “It’s unclear who they target, women or islam” The fact that they couldn’t understand that THEY, the people talking, their reaction, WAS the point.

    “It’s either about women or it’s about islam or… I’m not sure what kind of point they were trying to make ….but either way it was terrible.”

    “upsetting for anyone with an islamic background or any women” How? Draw me a picture. Connect the dots. I am just not getting it.

    “It’s a misconception that islam like, hates women” ….which is why you applauded the signs and kept them up, because the only words on them were “Islam is right about women,” which you agree with?

    When you cannot come to grips with a juxtaposition that makes you think, just shower people with adjectives and little imageries- hit their brain stem to incite disgust, outrage but not THOUGHT.

    So you not only lost the argument, you MADE the other side of the argument work.

    P.S. I’ll go ahead and spell it out – the point was, fake AI MLK made a whole string of points that Democrats and “liberals” and leftists and socialists are racists and bad for african americans and have been for at least decades if not hundreds of years depending on how you count it

    This was the point:

    For you to visibly and of your own free will, advertise yourself having total incomprehension of something easily comprehensible while having a sort of a breakdown/amnesia, and then just spouting filth/shame adjectives.

    The purpose of the Trump affiliation at the end appears to have been twofold. Given the entire preceding video, might it not be reasonable or at least conceivable for MLK to throw Trump his vote today? <head explodes> And then of course just throwing Trump out there like red meat triggers any TDS.

    The “oh no. these people really are crazy” moment is created through your active participation.

    PPS – MLK campaigned actively against Barry Goldwater, because Goldwater – like a majority of Democrats – voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So no, he was not above weighing in on politics or candidates.

    You’re wasting your time; feelings and virtue signalling is what it’s about. Brain-stem feelings, the brain doesn’t stand a chance to catch up. Looking for the possible messages, the link between MLK and the black downtrodden and Trump and the white downtrodden and the many, many other messages, they don’t have a chance in a numb skull.

    Indeed, but it is fun watching the anti-Trump team lose their shit and reveal that almost all US government systems are totally corrupt. You would think that someone so happy to appoint deep state nutjobs would be top of their list of candidates, instead he is hated. I suspect it is because they are unable to blackmail him, so they feel that an outsider is getting too near the reins of power, an outsider they cannot control.

    But I agree, he will do nothing of note other than annoy the people with power.

    The last thing MLK told Harry Belafonte

    It is abusive to the memory of MLK.
    However, he never committed his support to any party, as he did not want his views to be used for their political purposes.

    Are you claiming the Democrat Party has not used MLK for their own agenda ?
    Democrats have politicized MLKs civil rights movement for votes- so they can monopolize power while destroying Human Rights everywhere.

    Which is more important- Civil Rights or Human Rights?

    Bill Clinton raping children in a Jew blackmailing operation, while his Sec of State Jew Albright celebrates the death of 500k muslim children as “worth it”, his wife HRC cackling with glee at bayonet sodomizing an African Human Rights leader, HRC threatening Iran with wiping them off the map while actively sucking Jew cock.

    Democratic Black President Obama with murder and blood oozing from every pore- overthrowing Ukraine supporting modern Nazis paving the way for Bidens money making corruption in Ukraine. Without Bidens democrat funding $$$ military support for Ukraine and Gaza- neither of these genocides could exist or be sustained.

    How is Bidens mandating medical experimental Rape on children, and globally with vax cards any reflection of my body, my choice Human Rights? Tuskegee experiments x 2 on steroids thanks to Liberal Democrat scum.

    MLK stated the house was on fire before he was murdered. How’s the house doing now after the Democrat Liberal scum have trashed the country, the world and hypocritically used the black man to extend their abuses?

    And now, some twit somewhere has decided to make a complete mockery of this courageous (and very dead) great black leader and you, for inscrutable reasons (You think it is amusing?

    Awww poor teri- your liberal snowflake tears are melting before they can even hit the ground. The lesser of two evils is still- (drumroll) Evil. Liberal Democrats are evil hypocritical scum. And your hair is on fire over a fake video calling out Liberals as the trasholes that they truly are- something MLK saw decades ago.

    Whatever it takes to call out the lies, deceit, hypocrisy of the Democrats is welcomed – the same Political party that USES black people as political slaves to further their own power grab continuous abuses- equality is not a liberal trait, but Liberals sure hate the truth.
