Gaza border authorities say passenger movement and aid deliveries have ceased | Israeli forces have stormed the Rafah border crossing, shutting down the only crossing between Gaza and Egypt and causing a halt in aid deliveries and civilian movement. At least 12 Palestinians have been killed in overnight Israeli attacks on Rafah, while several others were killed in strikes on northern Gaza. The Israeli army said that two soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah drone attack near Metula, northern Israel on Monday. The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a draft resolution that would recognise Palestine as qualified for full UN membership this week. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said that the US should "completely stop funding the UN and its institutions" should this resolution be passed.

💬 "...not only as a threat to Israel's sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States." “Target Israel and we will target you,” the senators threatened, citing sanctions on Khan's employees and his associates, adding that they and their families would be "barred from the United States."

Russia Warns British Ambassador - Russia May Strike British Forces Anywhere | Both the French and British Ambassadors to Russia were Summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry this morning. When they came out, they were pale with nothing to say to the Press. INTEL Source reveals what the British were told. A strong protest was expressed to the British ambassador in connection with the country's Foreign Minister David Cameron's statement about Kiev's right to strike Russia with British weapons. (Reported HERE 3 days ago) The Ambassador was warned that "the Russian response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory, could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond."

■ Kyiv given the green light for NATO weapons attacks on the Russian mainland (War News 24/7) | NATO member countries, including Britain, have given the green light to Ukraine to strike the Kerch Bridge and other strategic targets inside Russia with Western-origin long-strike weapons. This is the first time since the war began that NATO member countries such as Britain-Estonia-Lithuania have openly threatened Moscow with striking the Russian mainland in an attempt to break the last Russian "red line". This is the information that War News 24/7 revealed a few days ago. ■ The last ten days have seen a rapid escalation between NATO and Russia. Lithuania's ambassador to Sweden, Linas Linkevičius, has hinted that there is an imminent attack on the Crimean Bridge by making a post on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine. They have been deployed in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in Slavyansk. The French soldiers are drawn from France’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is one of the main elements of France’s Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère). | These troops are being posted directly in a hot combat area and are intended to help the Ukrainians resist Russian advances in Donbas. The first 100 are artillery and surveillance specialists. For months French President Emanuel Macron has been threatening to send French troops to Ukraine. He has found little or no support from NATO countries outside of support from Poland and the Baltic States. Allegedly the US opposes sending NATO soldiers to Ukraine (other than as advisors). ● One of the questions to immediately arise from France’s decision to send soldiers from its 3rd Infantry Regiment is whether this crosses the Russian red line on NATO involvement in Ukraine? Will the Russians see this as initiating a wider war beyond Ukraine’s borders? ● A key question is how NATO will react to the French decision to deploy. As France is acting on its own without NATO’s backing, the French cannot claim support from NATO under its famous Article 5, the collective security component of the NATO Treaty.

During a panel discussion, titled “Open Forum: The Digital Currencies’ Opportunity in the Middle East,” Humaidan told WEF elites that the goal of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) is to replace cash with “100% digital” payments. He revealed that the pandemic was part of the plan to rapidly advance that goal.

John Miles | The leader of the country of Georgia has criticized US efforts to interfere in the country dating back several years. | A major scandal emerged in 2016 over the disproven conspiracy theory of Russian interference in the United States presidential election. Russian President Vladimir Putin, Americans were told, had spent vast sums of money to influence the outcome of the vote via social media. According to the conspiracy’s most dedicated adherents, US democracy had been near-fatally wounded by the pernicious meddling of a hostile foreign power. ● What adherents of the unfounded Russiagate narrative failed to acknowledge is that the United States is guilty of precisely the same type of political interference it accuses others of, and on a far larger scale.

The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the strikes also hit temporary deployment locations of Ukrainian neo-Nazi militias and foreign mercenaries, as well as concentrations of military vehicles | In the past 7 days, the Russian Armed Forces carried out 25 group strikes via precision weapons and drones, hitting Ukrainian energy and transportation infrastructure facilities and Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

 ● "Between April 28 and May 4, in response to the Kyiv regime’s attempts to inflict damage to Russian energy and industrial facilities, the Russian Armed Forces carried out 25 group strikes via precision weapons and drones, hitting Ukrainian energy and transportation infrastructure facilities, military-industrial complex enterprises, missile and ammunition storage areas, as well as unmanned speedboats and drone manufacturing workshops," the ministry said.  ● The ministry noted that the strikes also hit temporary deployment locations of Ukrainian neo-Nazi militias and foreign mercenaries, as well as concentrations of military vehicles.

The Russian interior ministry has listed the Ukrainian president among people suspected of committing a crime | Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appeared on the Russian Interior Ministry’s wanted list on Saturday. The exact offense he is charged with remains unclear. ● The ministry’s website says the Ukrainian president is wanted under an article of Russia’s Criminal Code and contains his full name and photograph, as well as his date and place of birth. No data has been released about criminal proceedings against him. ● The development comes a day after the head of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, Aleksandr Litvinenko, was also put on Russia’s wanted list. He took the position over from his predecessor Aleksey Danilov in March. In this instance, too, no charge details have been specified. ● In April, Litvinenko claimed it was necessary to launch drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, to exert “pressure” on Moscow.

💬 "Over the past night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using US ATACMS tactical missiles against facilities on the Russian territory was stopped. Four tactical missiles were destroyed by air defense systems on duty over the territory of the Crimean peninsula," the ministry said.

As we shall see, this development is a devastating blow to NATO, which could have far-reaching consequences regionally. ● Pendarovski is a darling of EU and US officials. His upset win in 2019 was widely hailed in the mainstream media as illustrative of Macedonians’ yearning to at last become fully-fledged members of the transatlantic community, and rejection of VMRO-DPMNE’s “anti-Western” politics, which prominently included resisting NATO membership. His success also removed the last remaining barrier to Skopje joining the military alliance - a bitter, fraught, and protracted process, opposed by a significant proportion of the local population.

Elizabeth Nickson | The more we know, the closer we are to the end of tyranny | This is the fourth in a dredging operation. I am not asking you to take this on board as gospel. I just want you to consider it, and over the next weeks and months, see what comes to you as evidence or corroboration. I’m working towards a meta-theory, rather than presenting you with something I can prove in court. However, this is hardly speculative, I have a lot of validating evidence, but I am rigorous. I need things locked down before I assert them as fact. Out there in the wildlands of the internet, millions of people, educated and not, ‘believe’ what I am presenting and they are in full opposition. Any politician looking for a way forward would be wise to look at this theory because he would immediately gain an active base. Which is why I think it’s worth considering.

“The Bioweapon is the Shot” | “There are all kinds of things in the vaccine toolbox to kill or control you.” “I think it’s hard to overstate the evil of this vaccine program,” claims Diana West in an exclusive interview for RAIR Foundation USA. “We are governed by people of dark criminality.” ● West, a widely syndicated columnist, former CNN contributor, best-selling author, and Yale graduate, believes that the COVID-19 vaccine campaign was just one cog in a giant wheel, accelerating us towards a total loss of our freedoms as we have known them to date. “I don’t think there’s been a time in history when there have been so many dark forces pressing in on our existence, even at a microscopic level. It has been a huge education for me. I’ve been forced to learn so much about biology. Now I’m trying to proselytize the fact that the vaccine is going to kill you. It’s one thing to have an enemy try to kill you; it’s another to have people standing next to you who won’t even notice it or raise the issue and ask if there’s a problem.” ● While data has shown a huge leap in excess deaths across Europe in 2022, West refers to Edward Dowd, a BlackRock whistleblower who published an analysis on deaths in the U.S. for the latter part of 2021. Dowd discovered that in the millennial cohort, those aged 25 to 45, there were 68,000 more deaths than expected. For the boomers, those over 65, that figure was 300,000. “This was a Vietnam War event for the millennial generation over those ten months,” says West. “And for the boomers, this was a WW11-sized event.”

In an exclusive interview with Remix News, Dutch political commentator and lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek warns Europeans that they must take a stand against rapid demographic changes or become a minority in their own country. | I have talked a lot about the rights of whites and the replacement of whites. But of course this exposes you to accusations of racism. So, how do conservatives deal with this catch-22 of not wanting to be replaced in their own country, but also not wanting to be attacked with this term? ● You can't. That's right, you can't do that. So you have to choose a side. Of course you will be attacked if you say, “Hey, this continent, Europe, has always been predominantly white and now within one generation a few bureaucrats have decided against the will of the people that we should suddenly be a minority. Why do we agree to that, or why do we allow that to happen?” If you say that, you will be attacked. ● But the only other option you have then is to say nothing and let it happen, so the choice is yours, and I made my choice.

This Georgia political scheme is yet another U.S. led color revolution in the same hues as 2014 Ukraine. | You may have heard of the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia recently. The protests are framed around what the State Dept and CIA call “Russian favored” legislation. ● The Georgia legislation essentially says that domestic lobbyists, NGO’s, entities, groups and individuals who are funded more than 20% by foreign interests need to register as such. ● Essentially, the USA law we call the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), is what the country of Georgia is enacting in their own political landscape. However, the USA is not happy about the Georgia law to disclose the source of foreign funding (most of it anti-government) because the USA (specifically the State Dept and CIA) is the source of that funding. ● This Georgia political scheme is yet another U.S. led color revolution in the same hues as 2014 Ukraine. [...] We know the US State Dept and CIA are behind this because we predicted it and wrote about it two months ago. [...] So why is Samantha Power targeting Georgia now? Well, like Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili does not want expanded war with Russia. Therefore, just like Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Georgia must now be removed and replaced with a pro-war leader.

■ New Comprehensive Review Examines Potential Harms of COVID-19 Vaccination and Intramuscular Vaccination

A new study on harms resulting from the COVID vaccine was published on April 8 in the U.S.-based peer-reviewed medical science journal Cureus.It represents the largest study to date on adverse effects of the COVID vaccine, and the results are shocking, to put it mildly. | In the study, titled “Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan,” five Japanese scientists used an entire dataset of the country’s 123 million population (Japan has the highest vaccination rate in the world) to study excess cancer mortalities coinciding with mass COVID vaccination. The authors also provide a sound explanation as to why these deaths occurred after the mRNA injection. As a former vaccine researcher, I read the Cureus article with great interest. My fellow Epoch Times columnist, Megan Redshaw, has written an excellent article on this study. Here, I would like to highlight some points that I think are worth reiterating.

Iraq’s Islamic Resistance has carried out a series of daring strikes against the “Israeli” entity in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, whom the entity has brought under a genocidal war. | The umbrella group of anti-terror fighters announced the strikes in separate statements on Friday. ● The coalition said it had hit Mossad’s “Glilot” intelligence center in Tel Aviv with advanced Al-Aqrab cruise missiles. Using the same type of projectile, the group also targeted the "Abraham" intelligence headquarters in the occupied city of Bir as-Sabe [Beersheba] in the southern part of the occupied territories, it added. ● Lastly, the resistance said, it carried out an operation against an “Israeli” target in the Dead Sea, using “appropriate weapons.” The strikes were conducted “in continuation of our path to resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly,” the group asserted. The fighters vowed to keep up their attacks as long as the regime sustained the war.

Israeli strikes hit a site in the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, late on May 2, wounding eight Syrian soldiers and causing material losses, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported, citing a military source. | The unnamed source said that Israeli warplanes launched missiles from over the Golan Heights in northern Israel at a site around 10:05 p.m. local time [7:05 p.m. GMT]. ● Speaking to Reuters, a security source in the Iran-led alliance that backs the Syrian government alleged that the targeted site was a building, situated just south of the Sayyeda Zeinab Shiite shrine in southern Damascus, that was used by Syrian security forces. ● Nevertheless, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group, alleged that the building hit by the strikes had been used by members of the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah group as a detention center since 2014.
