The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing their own food at home in order to comply with the unelected globalist organization’s “Net Zero” agenda. | The WEF argues that home-grown food creates “emissions” that allegedly cause “global warming.” ● According to so-called “experts” behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the “carbon footprint” of home-grown food is “destroying the planet.” ● As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to “save the planet” from “global warming.” Globalists insist that allowing citizens to grow their own food will undermine efforts to meet the goals of the “Net Zero” agenda as dedicated by the WEF and the United Nations (UN).

The crackdown on narratives countering mainstream and Western media continues, slamming the notion of the freedom of the press. | Meta has disabled the account of Al Mayadeen English on Instagram for allegedly not following

💬 "our Community Guidelines." "All your information will be permanently deleted," the decision stated. "You cannot request another review of this decision," it asserted, meaning that no appeal can be made.

The move follows a similar one last October when the Al Mayadeen English account was shortly suspended on Instagram and later restored following an appeal. At the time, neither a reason nor a prior notice was provided for the suspension.

The United Nations General Assembly pushed through the Pact for the Future on September 22. Russia advised against adopting what it called “a raw and non-consensual text," and then attempted to introduce an amendment to the pact, but the effort was voted down. | By and large, the UN General Assembly has become a tool used by the West to promote its interests, Igor Shatrov, head of the Expert Council of Russia’s Strategic Development Fund, told Sputnik. 💬 “Most of the decisions that are made at the level of the General Assembly proceed from the position that Western countries adhere to,” he noted. This explains why the Russia-proposed amendment to the Pact for the Future adopted at the opening of the two-day Summit of the Future at UNGA based on “the principle of non-interference in matters within the domestic jurisdiction of a state” drew a negative response, he explained.

Japan did similar things with their Embassy staff and gear, just prior to Pearl Harbor. | Russia's ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, is "concluding" his diplomatic mission, Russian agencies reported late on Saturday. "Russian Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Ivanovich Antonov, is concluding his Washington assignment and heading to Moscow," Interfax agency cited a representative of the Foreign Ministry as saying. The envoy will be returning to Moscow within hours.

This unprecedented event is yet another example of how far Israel is willing to go to undermine global mediation efforts. | While much of the world's focus remains on the broader regional conflict, this unprecedented political move by Israel has received relatively little attention, underscoring the deepening rift between the Israeli government and the UN at a critical moment. ● On October 2, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz barred Guterres from entering Israel. This ministry said this was in direct response to the Portuguese diplomat's reaction following Iran's missile strike on Tel Aviv, in which he allegedly failed to explicitly name Iran or strongly condemn its actions. [...] However, the situation has sparked significant international attention and condemnation. More global leaders have been criticising Israel's behaviour and siding with Guterres. France for example declared the decision as an "unjustified, serious and counterproductive" move. Similarly, Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa lamented this action and asked the Israeli government to reconsider it.

Julian Assange tells European lawmakers he ‘chose freedom over an unrealizable justice’ in first public comments since release from prison | Julian Assange, the founder of whistleblower media group WikiLeaks, told European lawmakers on Tuesday his guilty plea to US espionage accusations was necessary because legal and political efforts to protect his freedom were not sufficient. “I eventually chose freedom over an unrealizable justice,” Assange said in his first public comments since his release from prison. Assange, 53, returned to his home country Australia in June after a deal was struck for his release which saw him plead guilty to violating US espionage law, ending a 14-year British legal odyssey.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

The UK government has announced it is pulling funding from Chinese-backed Confucius Institutes across the country in the latest manifestation of anti-China anxiety across the Western world. | Confucius Institutes are Chinese government-backed institutions on international college campuses that dedicate themselves to promoting Chinese culture and supporting the teaching of the Chinese language. The program originated in 2004 with the goal of promoting cultural exchange efforts, but it has drawn scrutiny in recent years as Western governments respond to China’s dramatic economic and diplomatic rise.

Jacob Nordangård | A "scientific priesthood" will determine the limits of our actions and "protect" us from complex global shocks. | There are barely two months left until the big UN meeting Summit of the Future (September 22-23) where the "Pact for the Future" is to be signed by world leaders (heads of government and state). The pact, which essentially constitutes a blueprint for a global technocracy to manage global risks on behalf of the global corporatocracy, is now being finalised for completion by early August.

Maria Zakharova (Мария Захарова)(Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman) | "The West continues to supply arms and money to the Kiev regime, propose pseudo-peace initiatives, and try to rally as many countries as possible to their side." | Western countries have moved to openly support Ukrainian terrorist attacks against civilians and peaceful infrastructure, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on the sidelines of the 4th Eurasian Women's Forum. 💬 "The crisis in Ukraine, which Western countries are using as a battering ram against our nation, remains a key factor shaping the international environment. To this end, they continue to supply arms and money to the Kiev regime, propose pseudo-peace initiatives, and try to rally as many countries as possible to their side. Now, they have even resorted to openly supporting and carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians and peaceful infrastructure." Zakharova emphasized that the West's destructive line regarding Ukraine is yet another "crusade" against the establishment of a multipolar global order, "which is aimed at making the world a fairer place."

The United States plans to deploy missile systems banned by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty on Japanese territory. We are talking about the MRC Typhon system. This is reported by The Japan Times. | The United States continues to deploy medium-range missile systems in the Asia-Pacific region, taking advantage of the fact that the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty is no longer in effect. The Americans made their first attempt in the Philippines, where the MRC Typhon was deployed as part of joint exercises. Now it is Japan's turn. The system deployed on its territory is capable of hitting targets in the DPRK, China and Russia.

The lawmakers also voted to pursue funding of alternative aid groups | On Monday, the Swiss National Council, similar to the House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress, voted to immediately stop payments to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The motion was proposed by the conservative Swiss People’s Party member David Zuberbühler based on evidence of several UNRWA members also being members of Hamas and incitement to hatred and violence in UNRWA school curricula.

The recent COVID bioweapon injections massively increased the deleterious gene mutation rate, with a disruptive stepwise increase, leading to catastrophic irreparable damage and massive global depopulation within a few years. ■ Genetic Entropy refers to the concept, proposed by Dr John Sanford, a retired Cornell University professor of genetics, wherein the genomes of all living organisms are slowly degenerating due to the accumulation of slightly deleterious (harmful) mutations. This idea contradicts the fundamental principles of neo-Darwinian evolution, which relies on natural selection to drive the accumulation of beneficial mutations, which has never been observed. On this point miso theist Prof. Richard Dawkins said “Evolution has been observed. It’s just that it has not been observed while it’s happening.” Which, of course, makes no sense at all. Bill Moyers interviewed Richard Dawkins, Now, 3 December 2004, PBS network.

After recent rumblings surfaced of how many nations would embrace the impending BRICS Pay system, the bloc has confirmed 159 participants are set to adopt the new payment system. Indeed, the economic alliance system is poised to hit the ground running when it finally launches. | Now, all eyes are on when that launch will take place. Many have surmised that it would be announced at the highly anticipated 2024 Summit. Moreover, it would be set to go live in what would be a groundbreaking unveiling. If that were to happen, the bloc has already noted there is a long line of entities ready to embrace it. ● Earlier this year, the BRICS bloc announced the creation of a blockchain-based payment platform. It would redefine the collective’s global economic standing. Moreover, it would compete with some of the largest payment systems worldwide. That includes the Western-dominated SWIFT system. ● Now, the BRICS group confirmed that 159 participants will adopt the new payment system. Indeed, Russian officials verified the number in a recent correction, according to a Yahoo report. Although previous statements rumored 160 countries would be involved, the number was clarified in subsequent reports.

The International Criminal Court judges have yet to issue arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister and defense minister four months after prosecutor Karim Khan requested them | The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) says world leaders pressured him not to apply for arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister and defense minister on allegations of war crimes in Gaza, the BBC reported on 5 September. Karim Khan told the BBC, “Several leaders and others told me and advised me and cautioned me,” he said. ● In May, Khan said there were reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had committed war crimes during the Israeli assault on Gaza that has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children. The state of Israel faces separate genocide charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Military-technical cooperation between Russia and Mongolia includes the supply of weapons to Ulaanbaatar and the training of military personnel, currently Russia has already trained 340 Mongolian soldiers, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin said on Tuesday.

💬 "The supply of weapons and military equipment, repair, maintenance, modernization," Fomin outlined the areas of cooperation, adding "... we are cooperating on the military-technical line. And in the military as well. We teach. We have already trained about 340 people this year."

One of the training sites for Mongolian military personnel is the presidential cadet school in Kyzyl, the official said. ● Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Mongolia at Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh's invitation on Monday to attend celebrations of the 85th anniversary of the Soviet-Mongol victory over militarist Japan on the Khalkhin Gol River.

France-Soir Editorial | Rassurez-vous, ce n'est pas de la troisième guerre mondiale dont il s'agit. Mais, c'est quand même une guerre ou plutôt des guerres qui sont menées sur l'ensemble de la planète. Par qui ? Par une poignée d'individus éminemment malintentionnés. | La caste dirigeante qui s'accroche au pouvoir quoi qu’il nous en coûte, à nous, peuples du monde. Pourquoi ? Parce que si le pouvoir venait à leur échapper, la population aurait accès à des éléments de preuve, qui démontrent que, effectivement, « dans leur immense majorité » (1), les marionnettes politiques que les lobbys (principalement) du pétrole, l'armement, l'industrie agroalimentaire, l'industrie pharmaceutique et le BTP ont placées au pouvoir, mènent, depuis plus de 80 ans et contre tous les peuples du monde, une guerre sans merci. Une guerre politique, militaire, économique, culturelle et spirituelle, et qui, depuis environ 10 ans, est aussi, désormais, une guerre hégémonique.

Greta Zarro | U.S. foreign military bases provoke war, pollute communities, and steal land from Indigenous peoples. | The United States of America, unlike any other nation on Earth, maintains a massive network of foreign military bases around the world, more than 900 bases in more than 90 countries and territories. If the peace movement is serious about ending the United States’ and its allies’ warmaking, then this global constellation of bases must be curtailed. ■ The permanent stationing of more than 220,000 U.S. troops, weapons arsenals, and thousands of aircraft, tanks, and ships in every corner of the globe makes the logistics for U.S. aggression, and that of its allies, quicker and more efficient. Bases also facilitate the proliferation of nuclear weapons, with the United States keeping nuclear bombs in five NATO member countries, and nuclear-capable planes, ships, and missile launchers in many others. Because the U.S. is continually creating plans for military actions around the world, and because the U.S. military always has some troops “on the ready,” the initiation of combat operations is simpler.

Relations between Moscow and Ulaanbaatar are developing in all areas, the Russian leader has said | Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited his Mongolian counterpart, Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, to attend the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan next month. The offer was extended at a meeting of the two leaders in the Mongolian capital. ■ Putin landed in Mongolia late on Monday for his first visit to the country in five years. On Tuesday morning, Khurelsukh greeted the Russian leader outside the State Palace on Ulaanbaatar’s main square. [...] This year’s BRICS summit will take place in Kazan in Russia’s Tatarstan Region from October 22 to 24. Russia is hosting the event due to being the current chairman of the group. Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the UAE officially became members of BRICS at the start of 2024, joining Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

Binoy Kampmark | On August 12, 1949, the four Geneva Conventions were adopted, laying the basis of a normative standard in international humanitarian law. As Balthasar Staehelin, personal envoy of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) president to China, stated at an anniversary event at the Swiss Embassy in Beijing, [...] The very first Geneva Convention, inspired by the activism of Swiss businessman Henry Dunant and the International Committee for the Relief of Wounded Combatants, was adopted as far back as 1864. The instrument was intended to protect the vulnerable and wounded members of armed forces, and those responsible for their care. Three revisions and expansive updates followed: 1906, 1929 and 1949. [...] Of significance is Article 4, which defines the reach of such protection as covering persons “who, at any given moment and in any manner whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in the hands of a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they are not nationals.” ■ In humanitarian law, the gulf between observance and violation can be vast. In 2023, the United Nations recorded the deaths of 33,443 civilians in armed conflict. This constituted a 72% increase on those from 2022. Joyce Msuya, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, cited conflicts in Gaza, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, the Sahel, Somalia, Syria and Ukraine.

Persecution of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France is by no means a coincidence, but part of the disturbing trend of curtailing free speech, investor and host of the largest show on X, Mario Nawfal, told Sputnik. | X giant Mario Nawfal sat down with Sputnik on Friday to discuss Telegram CEO Pavel Durov's arrest, globalist attack on free speech, and what's next for X and Elon Musk. According to the entrepreneur, Pavel's arrest is "a reminder that free speech and even privacy is becoming more and more of an illusion, rather than reality."

💬 "We’ve seen the censorship that happens in every single country around the world, including... Europe, the US, Brazil. Pavel’s arrest takes another social media platform off the list of those who want to censor, those who want power," Nawfal said, suggesting that Rumble and X could become the next targets.

💬 "We’ve seen in the UK recently as well with the riots what happens when free speech is cracked down [on], and it’s not pretty. We’ve seen people arrested and go to jail for months and years for things they said online," Mario said, referring to warnings from the UK Crown Prosecution Service against "online violence" earlier this month and subsequent arrests over online posts.

The X Spaces host doesn't rule out that he also has a target on his back. Commenting on reports that in fact Durov came to France at the invitation of Emmanuel Macron, Mario revealed that he himself was invited to interview an unnamed country’s president just days before Durov’s arrest. Nawfal now believes that it could have been a trap

As sustainability’s significance in global industry and commercial use has grown exponentially over the last years, so has the need for lithium, the key component for various electric vehicles and machinery. | Lithium is essential for the production of aluminum semi-finished products, electronics, and laser equipment, and is used in the aerospace and nuclear power industries. Many experts believe independent lithium mining is a strategic task. Some of lithium’s modern applications also include advanced medical treatments for bipolar disorder and mania. Today the richest reserves of lithium are found mainly in South America, as well as in the United States, Australia and China.

Thousands are seeking compensation for harm allegedly caused by coronavirus vaccines | Almost 14,000 people in Britain have applied for payments from the government for disabilities they claim were caused by Covid-19 vaccines, The Telegraph has reported. ● Only 175 people, or less than 2% of those seeking compensation, have so far received a one-off money transfer of £120,000 ($155,300), the paper said in an article on Saturday. ● Data obtained by The Telegraph through Freedom of Information requests indicates that those who were eventually reimbursed suffered from conditions such as stroke, heart attack, dangerous blood clots, inflammation of the spinal cord, excessive swelling of the vaccinated limb, and facial paralysis. ● Around 97% of the satisfied applications were related to the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, developed by Oxford University and British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and the rest to the US-made vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, it said. ● Thousands of people have been refused payment due to the government’s medical assessors arguing that there is no concrete proof that their health problems are a result of the vaccines, the report read. Hundreds of others were turned down due to being “not disabled enough,” it added. Under the rules of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), an applicant has to be at least 60% disabled to qualify.

Kiev is free to use donated Leopard tanks and other combat vehicles during its incursion into Kursk Region, Canada has said | Ukraine has been given approval to use Canadian-donated tanks and armored vehicles on Russian soil, according to a statement by Canada’s Department of National Defense on Thursday. Kiev is currently waging a large-scale incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region. ● Ottawa has donated to Kiev a total of eight German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks as well several dozen armored combat vehicles, hundreds of armored patrol vehicles, and several M-777 howitzers.
