Dr. Masanori Fukushima has called on the World Health Organization to lead an investigation of the harmful outcomes of the COVID shots. | In an interview published April 19, Dr. Masanori Fukushima, who spearheaded the first cancer outpatient clinic at Kyoto University and launched the first course in pharmacoepidemiology there, listed a slew of problems with the COVID mRNA jabs, evidencing what he called an evil “abuse of science.” He pointed out that “turbo cancers,” a kind “previously unseen by doctors” that progress extremely quickly and are typically in stage four by the time they are diagnosed, have started to appear after the jab rollouts. These “turbo cancers” are emerging along with excess mortality due to cancer in general, which Fukushima says cannot be explained only by lost opportunities for screenings or treatment during the COVID outbreak. [...] He lamented that the media, including newspapers, generally have not reported on [the] harms, and that in fact those who question the safety of the COVID shots – just as with the flu shots – have been characterized as anti-science “heretics.” He described the attitude of those who shut down the voices COVID “vaccine” critics, however, as far from scientific, and “more akin to faith, hysteria or even cult behavior.”

The president has suggested several new criteria that would merit a nuclear response | Russia should update its nuclear doctrine to clearly define circumstances that could prompt Moscow to launch a nuclear strike, President Vladimir Putin told a meeting of the national security council on Wednesday. He also suggested an expanded list of threats that would include “reliable information” of a major airstrike being launched against Russia. ● The list of criteria that would justify Russia's use of its nuclear deterrent should be expanded in the updated version of the doctrine, Putin told the meeting.

💬 “Aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state… supported by a nuclear power should be treated as their joint attack,” the president said.

Moscow would also “consider” resorting to a nuclear response if it gets “reliable information” about a “massive” missile or air strike launched by another state against Russia, or its closest ally, Belarus, according to Putin. The weapons used in an enemy’s potential strike could include anything from ballistic or cruise missiles to strategic aircraft and drones, he stated.

■ Putin: Russia Reserves Right to Use Nuclear Weapons in Response to Critical Threats (Sputnik News) | The Russian President noted that Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression against Russia and Belarus.

💬 "We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus, as a member of the Union State. All these issues have been agreed upon with the Belarusian side, with the President of Belarus, including if the enemy, using conventional weapons, creates a critical threat to our sovereignty," Putin said at the meeting.

Just as Hitler was stopped by an international alliance 70 years ago, Netanyahu must be stopped, President Erdogan says in his speech at the annual UN General Assembly. | Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has pressed global leaders to recognise Palestine as a state.

💬 “I invite those states that have yet to recognise Palestine to stand on the right side of history during this critical period and promptly acknowledge the Palestinian state,” President Erdogan said in his address to the UNGA in New York on Tuesday. ● “In recent years, the United Nations has failed to carry out its foundational mission, gradually transforming into an inefficient, cumbersome, and inactive structure,” Erdogan stated, underscoring the need for reform within the global body.

The creation of a fully independent and sovereign Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital and ensuring its territorial integrity, must no longer be delayed, Erdogan underlined. The Turkish leader also voiced his growing frustration with the UN's inability to take decisive steps to end conflicts, emphasising that the organisation has become increasingly ineffective.

The Health Ministry's death toll has risen to 41,467 + + + | Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli forces killed 12 Palestinians and wounded 43 others in the previous 24-hour period. ● The latest violence brings the Health Ministry’s death toll since October 7 to 41,467 and the number of wounded to 95,921. The figures are considered an undercount since they don’t account for the thousands who are missing under the rubble, and the number of indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege is not known. 💬 “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram. The post included a link for Palestinians to report missing family members. Later in the day, Reuters reported that Gaza medics said a total of 22 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Tuesday. The toll is higher since the Health Ministry puts out its numbers about mid-day Gaza time, and it only counts bodies that have been brought to hospitals or morgues.

Thousands of fighters from Arab nations have reportedly gathered near the Golan Heights to support Hezbollah in its war with Israel, Haaretz reported. | Thousands of militia fighters and mercenaries from three Arab countries have reportedly arrived near Syria's occupied Golan Heights to aid Hezbollah in its ongoing war with Israel, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Tuesday. ● Around 40,000 fighters had come to Syria from "a number of countries, including Iraq, Yemen and Syria", the report claimed, citing unnamed sources in the Israeli military. ● 
The fighters were reportedly within "the vicinity of the Golan Heights" waiting for orders from Hezbollah's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, to join the fighting, the daily said, without citing any evidence to support the claim by the Israeli military source.

In late June, Julian Assange returned to Australia a free man after years of suffering in harsh conditions in a Britain prison with the threat of extradition to the United States hanging over him. Since then, the WikiLeaks founder, who the US government sought to prosecute for exposing US dirty secrets including related to US military actions, has not spoken publicly. That will change by October 1. ● WikiLeaks announced in a Tuesday press release that Assange will next Tuesday, October 1, at the Palace of Europe in Strasbourg, France “give evidence before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).” The press release further states:

💬 This comes following the release of the PACE inquiry report into the Assange case, authored by Rapporteur Thórhildur Sunna Ævarsdóttir. The report focuses on the implications of his detention and its broader effects on human rights, in particular freedom of journalism. The report confirms that Assange qualifies as a political prisoner and calls on the UK conduct an independent review into whether he was exposed to inhuman or degrading treatment.

Units of Russia's Battlegroup Yug have also liberated the settlements of Ostroye and Grigorovka in the Donetsk People's Republic. | Russian aviation, artillery, and drone units have struck a Ukrainian Armed Forces communication center, as well as drone production workshops and warehouses, the Russian Ministry of Defense has reported. [...] Likewise, it informed that air defenses had shot down four French-made Hammer guided bombs, 14 US-made HIMARS rockets, Czech-made Vampire rockets, and 31 fixed-wing drones. ● Furthermore, as a result of decisive actions by units of the Yug Battlegroup, the settlements of Ostroye and Grigorovka in the Donetsk People's Republic have been liberated, the statement said.

Vladimir Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’ is a predictable “wish list,” an official has told the news agency | At least one Western nation backing Ukraine is calling for diplomatic engagement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources. According to the outlet, some officials are skeptical of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’ to end the conflict. ● The possible talks with Moscow could happen before the G20 leaders’ meeting in Brazil in mid-November, and would be conducted either by Zelensky or other parties, the report said. ● Zelensky is currently visiting the US, where he is pitching his purported roadmap to resolve the conflict, long-dismissed by Moscow as unrealistic, now re-branded as a 'victory plan.' He plans to reveal its contents to US President Joe Biden later this week, as Washington’s support is key for its success, according to the Ukrainian leader. However, Bloomberg cited sources as saying that the proposal includes no real surprises and won’t be a game-changer in the conflict. One official described it as a “wish list” rather than an action plan.

Dmitrij Ljubinskij (Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Austria) | The Russian ambassador in Vienna responds to the guest commentary by his Ukrainian colleague.

■ On September 18, a guest commentary by the Ukrainian ambassador in Vienna was published here in the "Presse". Given the Austrian reader's obvious fatigue with the omnipresent, almost daily repetition of Ukrainian propaganda, I would have liked to have spared myself a polemic at this point. However, I will allow only a few comments on the principle here.

■ The Kyiv ambassador's wild assertion that the Ukraine crisis is one of the most important election campaign issues in Austria can only be seen as an attempt at brazen interference in domestic affairs. Such a thesis sounds particularly obscene in light of the immense damage recently caused by the devastating natural disaster in this country and the associated concerns of ordinary Austrians.

■ As far as Ukraine is concerned, it has become nothing more than a pawn in the collective West's large-scale confrontation with Russia in recent years. The so-called Selensky formula can play no role in a sustainable settlement of the crisis, which incidentally began long before 2022. It is totally out of touch with reality, even its authors understand that.

■ Today's world politics is about much more than Ukraine. The world majority is fighting for a new, fairer and progressive multipolar world order that will be based exclusively on international law and free from US-dictated "rules". This will also be discussed at the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan (October 22-24) in a broad format and under the chairmanship of Russia.

■ As far as Austria is concerned, it risks getting stuck in a group of countries that are throwing everything imaginable into the bottomless pit of support for Ukraine ("Whatever the cost ..."). Not only to the detriment of their people but also to further aggravate the international strategic situation. The total ceiling of the so-called European Peace Facility, in which Vienna is also making a substantial financial contribution, now amounts to more than twelve billion euros. Wouldn't these funds have deserved a more sensible use than being senselessly squandered on the war economy in the interests of a laughing third party outside Europe?

The facts speak for themselves: Unlike representatives of Ukraine and their Western puppeteers, we never seek to impose our opinion on others as the only correct one. However, the decision-makers in Austria are not only reluctant to hear it, they fear it. The facts speak for themselves. For example, the recent de facto expulsion of two young Russian journalists from Austria for no reason and without explanation, a total ban on Russian media in the country, or the constant refusal to publish our articles in domestic newspapers. The Austrian government and media are denying their citizens access to a different perspective on world events. The question of why such a thing happens and is even conceivable in a country that supposedly champions freedom of expression and media freedom remains up in the air. You conclude yourself.

Global condemnations have poured in after the Israeli regime’s offensive, which has resulted in the deaths of nearly 500 Lebanese and left more than 1,600 injured in southern and eastern part of the Arab country. | Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 492 people, including 35 children, and wounding 1,645 others, the health ministry said. ● China's Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, during a meeting with his Lebanese counterpart in New York on Tuesday voiced strong support for Lebanon and denounced what he described as “indiscriminate attacks against civilians.” [...] He emphasized the importance of monitoring regional developments, particularly the recent explosions of communications equipment in Lebanon, and reiterated China's firm opposition to attacks targeting civilians. [...] Arab foreign ministers also issued a robust condemnation of Israel's increasing aggression against Lebanon, reaffirming their steadfast support for the Lebanese government and its citizens, during the annual Arab League Council meeting held on Monday alongside the 79th United Nations General Assembly. [...] Residents from different villages in southern Lebanon shared images on social media depicting their towns under attack, which prompted thousands of people to flee southern Lebanon, causing significant traffic jam on the main highway leading to Beirut. Lebanon has suspended educational activities in universities and schools, as numerous campuses are set to serve as shelters for individuals in need of refuge. Lebanon's healthcare system is already facing significant pressure as it works to treat the injuries resulting from last week's explosions involving pagers and walkie-talkies.

The bloc should disregard Russia’s potential response to proposed long-range strikes using Western weapons, Denmark’s PM says | Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has claimed that NATO should take a no-holds-barred policy towards the Ukraine conflict and allow Kiev fire long range missiles deep into Russia. Public discussion on how far NATO countries should go to defeat Russia only plays into Moscow’s hands, she argued. ● Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is set to meet US President Joe Biden this week to present his “victory plan.” Kiev is lobbying Washington to permit long-range strikes using donated Western weapons, deep inside Russia, a move that Russian President Vladimir Putin has said would amount to an act of war by the US-led military bloc. Frederiksen, a staunch supporter of Kiev, told Bloomberg TV that such permission should be granted regardless of how Moscow might react.

Global Times Editorial | In the context of the ongoing poor European security situation, Stoltenberg's self-boasting is somewhat like "taking the wrong script." | Outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg boasted of his achievements during his tenure in his farewell speech on Thursday, claiming that in 10 years, the number of NATO soldiers on its eastern flank increased from zero to tens of thousands, the number of troops on high readiness rose from thousands to half a million, and the number of its allies spending at least 2 percent of GDP on defense increased from three to 23. Montenegro, North Macedonia, Finland and Sweden joined the alliance, deepening their relations with countries in the "Indo-Pacific region." Stoltenberg also summarized five lessons that are key to NATO's continued "success" in the future, urging the US and Europe not to engage in isolationism, declaring that "freedom is more important than free trade" and NATO "must not make the same mistake with China" as they did with Russia.

Europe cannot be limited by the EU and NATO if the continent is to be peaceful, the French president has said | French President Emmanuel Macron has called for reform of the current “unjust” world order so that humans can coexist more peacefully. He outlined his "vision" on Sunday as part of the international ‘Imagining Peace’ gathering in Paris, which brought together leading political and religious figures. Speaking before the Catholic community of Sant’Egidio, Macron said “We must be imaginative enough to think about the peace of tomorrow, a peace in Europe in a new form.” [...] The speech comes as Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is set to meet US President Joe Biden to present his so-called ‘victory plan’ – a purported roadmap to pressuring Russia into conceding defeat. He wants permission to conduct long-range strikes deep inside Russia with Western weapons as part of the plan. France is among a handful of nations that have donated such military hardware to Ukraine in the form of SCALP/Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which the country produces jointly with the UK. British officials have supported Kiev’s request to strike Russia, but the ultimate decision is understood to be in Washington’s hands.

It is apparently official: Hezbollah units have, within the past few minutes (11:21 AM EDT Sunday), all begun raising the Red Flag of War. This is taking place over such a widespread area, and at the same time, as to logically be "official." | Given Israeli bombings all across Lebanon for the past three days, and the deliberate detonation of pocket pagers, cell phones, and walkie-talkies in the days prior to that, it has been clear to most observers that war has already been foist upon them. This gesture, with the Red Flags, is apparently acknowledgement of what has been obvious to most people, for days. Where things go from here seems obvious too: Down hill. Fast.

■ Intense "Unrelenting" Air Strikes By Israel Against Lebanon 5:30 AM EDT, Monday 23 September 2024 -- Intensive and unrelenting air strikes are taking place throughout southern Lebanon this morning, where the Israeli Defense Force is attacking. Observers say bombing exceeds that of the 2006 war. | Israeli strikes on the towns of Al-Adisa, Al-Taybeh, and Al-Khiyam in southern Lebanon, as well as in Tyre, the fourth largest city in Lebanon. Al-Manar TV correspondent Ali Shoeib describes the situation this way: "Everywhere you look there has been an airstrike." From the town of Toura in the Tyre District shows secondary explosions following an Israeli airstrike. Several airstrikes have struck Nabatieh, the main city in the Jabal Amel area of southern Lebanon. Lebanese media reports over 80 airstrikes in just Nabatieh, Lebanon. This is a massive bombing operation. After bombing near Jbeil earlier, the first time it has hit that area in the north in this war, Israel has also started bombing bridges in south Lebanon. Hostilities are clearly taking place and escalating fast. More updates as they become available.

Heavily armed Israeli soldiers entered the TV channel’s studio in the West Bank on Sunday | Israeli soldiers in full combat gear entered Al Jazeera’s office in Ramallah in the West Bank in the early hours of Sunday. They ordered the studio to close for 45 days, the channel said. A clip posted by the Qatari-owned channel shows armed IDF troops walking down the hallways and entering offices while being filmed by an Al Jazeera camera crew. “There is a court ruling for closing down Al Jazeera for 45 days,” a soldier told al-Omari, according to Al Jazeera, “I ask you to take all the cameras and leave the office at this moment,” he added. The Israeli government banned Al Jazeera from operating inside Israel in May, accusing it of helping the Palestinian militant group Hamas. A Tel Aviv court ruled in June that Al Jazeera’s reporters in Gaza acted as “de facto assistants and partners” of Hamas.

On August 27 the former president of Ukraine Vladimir Zelenski announced that he would soon present a plan for ending the war with Russia: 💬 Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that the war with Russia would eventually end in dialogue, but that Kyiv had to be in a strong position and that he would present a plan to U.S. President Joe Biden and his two potential successors. ● The Ukrainian leader, addressing a news conference, said Kyiv's three-week-old incursion into Russia's Kursk region was part of that plan, but that it also comprised other steps on the economic and diplomatic fronts. ● "The main point of this plan is to force Russia to end the war. And I want that very much - (that it would be) fair for Ukraine," he told reporters in Kyiv of the war launched by Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Zelenskiy said he hoped to go to the United States in September to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York and that he was preparing to meet Biden. It is believed that this announcement came in response to a silent request by Ukraine's supporters for a longer term perspective.

EU economic cooperation with Moscow continues despite the sanctions, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said | A significant number of companies in the EU continue to discreetly do business with Russia despite the bloc’s sanctions, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. 💬 “Here I would like to disappoint the idealists, as the situation is that everyone in Europe is doing this,” Szijjarto said in Budapest on Friday.“ The difference between us and the others in general is that we speak honestly and openly about this issue. All of Europe does business with the Russians, but some deny this; we don’t need that.” Szijjarto added that Hungary does not agree with the sanctions, but since this is EU policy, Budapest respects them. Hungary typically vetoes specific EU proposals if they seriously harm national interests, he said, adding that developing economic cooperation with Russia is one of those interests.
