The Department of Justice is committing election interference by attempting to prosecute former President and 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said in a statement. 💬 “Biden’s Department of Justice is actively participating in election interference by trying to put his top political opponent, President Donald Trump, behind bars,” Greene said on Thursday. ● Earlier in the day, Trump pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election. Trump called the charges against him “persecution of a political opponent." Greene characterized the prosecution as “pure corruption.”

While posing as a defender of free speech, Florida’s Ron DeSantis has played point man on the Israel lobby’s crusade to criminalize American citizens for their exercising their constitutionally-protected right to boycott Israel. | Branding himself the “most pro-Israel governor in the United States,” the Florida Republican announced an official investigation into the financial ratings firm Morningstar over allegations related to Florida’s ban on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. 💬 “Today, I am happy to make — and this law just took effect at the beginning of July — I’m happy to announce for everybody, that Florida has formally instituted an investigation against Morningstar for violations of our anti-BDS law. We’re not letting them target Israel and get away with it, we’re using our tools to fight back,” DeSantis announced at a conference of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). ● Morningstar has been accused by the state of Florida of downgrading companies that are associated with Israel. During the same event, DeSantis referred to the occupied Palestinian West Bank by its biblical name, “Judea and Samaria,” insisting it was “not occupied territory.”

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against Russia's president and commissioner for children's rights in March, charging them with the purported "unlawful transfer" of children out of the Ukraine conflict zone. The Kremlin dismissed the charges, while Russia's Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against ICC judges. | British authorities' fingerprints are all over the ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, and the details of the story play out like a cheap mystery novel, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. ● Characterizing the chain of events as a mystery ripped straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, only written by a far less talented "beginner" writer, Zakharova suggested that the ICC's decisions on the Russian president's arrest constitute what can only be described as a "cheap script made using British money."  ● The ICC issued "warrants of arrest" against Putin and Lvova-Belova on March 17, accusing them of "the crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation" from "at least" February 2022 onward. ● Moscow dismissed the "absurd" charges, stressing that Russia is not a party to the court's statute, "and bears no obligations under it." Russian officials and lawmakers went on to liken the court's "warrants" to toilet paper and suggested that the ICC judges were the ones who should be arrested.

Maria Zakharova / Russian MFA | I love coincidences in geopolitics. There's a twist to them. Like Agatha Christie. | Now we are going to unravel the whole chain of events that led to the politicized and legally null and void decision of the Hague International Criminal Pseudo Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Presidential Ombudsman for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova. This script has a British author. And, to all appearances, a novice. ■ On 21 February 2023, ICC Judge Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua (DR Congo) is replaced in the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber by a Costa Rican representative (and Oxford graduate), Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez, who is ready to serve the West. Once this was done, the English lobby had the upper hand in the Chamber. But a personal factor was needed, absolute British control over ICC decisions. So on the same day, 21 February, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan's sibling, former British MP Imran Khan, accused of pedophilia, is released early from an English prison. He had spent less than half of his sentence there. ■ The next step comes out logical and predictable: on 22 February, just the next day, an application was sent by prosecutor Karim Khan to the Pre-Trial Chamber requesting approval of the "warrants". The impression is that Karim Khan himself did not believe London and was waiting for confirmation of his promises to release his pedophile brother from prison. However, nothing happens, and the House procrastinates. ■ Then London organizes a donor conference for the ICC and sets a date for it - March 20, transparently hinting to the ICC that results are needed before that date if the Hague wants to see British contributions. Judges are easily bought. ■ On 17 March, four days after the public announcement of the conference and three days before the conference, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir V. Putin and Russian Presidential Ombudsperson for Children's Rights Mikhail A. Lvova-Belova. The ICC decisions are entirely a cheap scenario played out with British money. Except that now the ICC officials themselves are on the criminal wanted list. (Transl.: DeepL.com) (Source) (Jonathan Raa/Nur Photo)

Trump is expected to be processed by law enforcement, be officially taken into custody and enter a not guilty plea in front of a judge | Donald Trump is due in federal court Thursday to answer to charges that he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election, facing a judge just blocks from the U.S. Capitol that his supporters stormed to block the peaceful transfer of presidential power. ● In what's by now become a familiar but nonetheless stunning ritual, Trump is expected to be processed by law enforcement, be officially taken into custody, and enter a not-guilty plea in front of a judge before being released, so he can rejoin the campaign trail as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024. ● An indictment Tuesday from Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith charges Trump with four felony counts related to his efforts to undo the presidential election in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. The charges could lead to a years-long prison sentence in the event of a conviction. Trump was the only person charged in the case, though prosecutors referenced six co-conspirators — mostly lawyers — they say he plotted with, including in a scheme to enlist fake electors in seven battleground states won by President Joe Biden to submit false certificates to the federal government.

Do not question the woke trans agenda. | A report has revealed that a woman has been denied cancer treatment at a Portland area hospital after she criticized the facility for displaying the trans flag. ● The woman in question was identified only as Marlene to protect her identity. She sent a message to conservative activist Chaya Raichik on her popular social media account Libs of TikTok revealing what happened to her. As one can see, Marlene’s message was originally sent to a person at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) Hospital after multiple prior communications with staff there. ● In Marlene’s statement, she notes that other staff members at OHSU were not handling her communications in good faith. She says she feels unsafe coming into the hospital with a massive transgenderism banner hanging behind the front desk.

Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said that NATO was the main reason for the worsening of the Ukrainian crisis. | 💬 "For more than 30 years, NATO has been stoking fires everywhere, destroying stability and engaging in separatism, as it did in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan. The five eastward expansions have seriously affected the existing post-Cold War order and security in Europe and have been the main reason for the worsening of the Ukraine crisis," Hanhui said. According to the diplomat's assessment, "being a relic of the Cold War, NATO should have ceased to exist with the end of the Cold War." ● Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is attending the third ministerial conference of Afghanistan's neighboring countries (Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), said that the main reason for the crisis in Ukraine was the policy of the USA and NATO, which had been pumping arms into the country in violation of their commitments. ● "The main reason for the crisis in Ukraine is the policy pursued for several decades by the US-led NATO," he said when asked by Xinhua news agency about the causes of the Ukrainian crisis. ● The minister pointed out that after the disappearance of the Soviet Union, they continued to push military infrastructure further east, pumped weapons into Ukraine and set up military infrastructure there. "This threatened Russia's security and was a serious violation of the decisions taken in the OSCE and within the framework of Russia-NATO relations not to strengthen their security at the expense of the security of others," the Russian Foreign Minister emphasized.

Simplicius The Thinker | Momentous things are setting into motion geopolitically all over the globe, most notably in Africa. A coup took down the president of Niger, a country of critical importance to France and the NATO bloc. The Atlanticists are extremely worried now. ● France is the #1 country in the world for total percentage of nuclear use for energy generation, and #2 in total number of nuclear power plants. I’ve seen figures that Niger supplies upwards of 40% of France’s Uranium, though some have it in the 15-25% range, as well as 25% to the EU itself. ● Now, the coup leader Abdourahamane Tchiani has reportedly banned Uranium and gold exports to France, which could devastate their energy industries, though it could be just a tactic for renegotiations; Naturally, Ukraine blames Russia.

Intelligence agencies have been manipulating the online encyclopedia for more than a decade, Larry Sanger has claimed | Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald. Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies. “We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” he said. “Do you think that they stopped doing that back then?”

Experts are seeing a puzzling rise in cancer in people under 50 that appears biologically different from late-onset cancers. While some claim cancer rates have been rising for decades and attribute the increase to sugary drinks, lifestyle, and sleep disruptions, others say mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have caused an emergence of “turbo cancers”—and U.S. regulatory agencies have not addressed the ever-growing problem. | Although there is no official medical definition for what doctors are calling “turbo cancers,” the term is commonly used to define aggressive, rapid-onset cancers resistant to treatment—primarily in young, healthy individuals following COVID-19 vaccination. These cases often present in a late stage with metastasis and quickly turn fatal. ● Dr. Cole told The Epoch Times in a later interview that he first noticed an uptick in certain types of cancers after the vaccine rollout in December 2020 and believes researchers are starting to understand how these cancers are occurring. ● Cancers are increasing at a rate above what’s expected, and countless doctors and clinicians around the world have confirmed this. Their patients are cancer-free for years, but then after a booster, cancers “pop up,” he added. What’s unique about turbo cancers is that they do not respond to traditional treatment because the cells have been altered in the bone marrow, and the cells “aren’t doing what they’re supposed to.”

Accusations of crossing into the Polish airspace by Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters of the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense are far-fetched. | These accusations were made by the Polish military and political leadership to justify the military build-up near the Belarusian border, BelTA informs citing the Defense Ministry of Belarus. ● According to the Defense Ministry, on the morning of 1 August, Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command reassured its people that Polish radars did not detect violations of the state border. “In the evening (apparently, after consulting with their overseas masters), they changed their narrative to say that ‘the helicopters crossed the border at a low altitude and were not picked up by radar',” the Belarusian Defense Ministry noted. 💬 “This statement is not confirmed by Poland's monitoring and recording systems. Therefore, the Defense Ministry of the Republic of Belarus dismisses this statement as baseless rumors and insists that there were no violations of the airspace by the Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters,” the Defense Ministry said.

Former President Donald Trump was indicted for a third time on Tuesday, this time on charges related to alleged illegal efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, while his campaign has compared the political “persecutions” of him and his supporters to “Nazi Germany in the 1930s.” | The new charges against Donald Trump offer conclusive proof that there can be no talk of a free and fair election in 2024, Tom Fitton, president of conservative legal and election watchdog group Judicial Watch believes. 💬 “This indictment is a naked threat and act of intimidation by the Democratic Party against any and all of their political opponents. The message from the Biden regime is: ‘We will put you in jail if you dispute elections’. A free and fair 2024 election is officially impossible,” Fitton wrote in a release following Tuesday’s indictment. “The Biden administration has left the rule of law and the US Constitution behind with its latest indictment of President Trump for daring to dispute the 2020 presidential election, as is his God-given right as a president, a citizen, and a candidate under state, federal and constitutional law,” Fitton added. ● The non-profit head accused President Biden and Justice Department chief Merrick Garland of “trying to jail” Trump and turn him “into a political prisoner” to distract the public from “conclusive evidence” of President Biden’s “personal corruption” related to his and his son’s alleged pay-to-play political influence peddling scheme.

On the evening of July 26, the rebels announced on national television the resignation of President Mohamed Bazum, the closure of the republic's borders, the imposition of a curfew, the suspension of the constitution and the ban on political parties | On the evening of July 26, the rebels announced on national television the ousting of President Mohamed Bazoum, the closure of the republic's borders, a curfew, the suspension of the constitution, and a ban on the activity of political parties. ● On July 28, they declared that General Abdurahmane Tchiani had become the head of state. During the coup, he led the presidential guard, whose units detained Bazoum and continue to keep him in custody. ● On Monday, BBC reported that Niger’s new authorities had suspended uranium and gold exports to France. ● Niger is the seventh-largest uranium producer worldwide accounting for 5% of global production. According to French mass media, Niger accounts for 15% - 17% of the uranium used to generate electricity in France.

Similar headlines or sentiments will be found in pretty much any other 'western' magazine that still has some integrity. The catastrophic consequences of sanctioning Russia without any realistic assessment of its, and one's own economies should have led to a serious clean-up of all state and international bureaucracies involved in it. Alas, we have yet to see that anyone who was involved has been punished for these horrendous mistakes. The very same people are now involved in finding 'solutions' for the mess their shortsightedness created. It is no wonder then that people will vote for anyone other than those in charge. (© Image)

Gonzalo Lira is alive and he said this today: "Right now, I'm about to try to get out of Ukraine and seek political asylum in Hungary. Either I'll cross the border and make it to safety, or I'll be disappeared by the Kyiv regime. This is what's happened to me over the past three months. On May 1, I was arrested for my YouTube videos. The photos of my arrest are pretty funny—morning bed-head made me look like a character out of Dr. Seuss. My crime was making videos critical of the West and their proxy regime in Kyiv—and how they are destroying Ukraine. [E]ven the prosecutor admits I committed no crime against property or any person. And I certainly provided no aid or intelligence to the Russians. My indictment explicitly states that all I did was discuss publicly known facts about the war—the epitome of free speech in a democracy."
