| TheIslanderNews Hungary’s Viktor Orban posted: “Je suis Marine.” Three words that thunder across a silenced continent. | France just crossed the Rubicon. Marine Le Pen, the strongest anti-globalist voice in Europe, has been sentenced to four years in prison, with two years behind bars and a five-year ban from running for public office. The charge? EU “embezzlement” tied to staff payments. The real charge? Opposing mass migration, EU technocracy, and NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine. The establishment didn’t beat her at the ballot box, they took her out with a gavel. Make no mistake: this is not law. This is lawfare. And it follows a chilling pattern: Moldova’s pro-Russian Gagauz leader Eugenia Gutul jailed for defending her people’s sovereignty. Romania’s Călin Georgescu sidelined for daring to challenge Brussels’ grip. A coordinated purge — from Paris to Chisinau. But resistance is rising.

Unknown virus emerges in Russia - Fever, Bloody Cough for Weeks | An unknown virus has suddenly emerged in Russia. People are suffering from high fever and a bloody cough for weeks. According to reports, the symptoms of those infected are identical: it begins with typical aches and weakness, but after a few days, the virus drains the person, making it difficult to even get out of bed, and their condition rapidly worsens. Along with a fever up to 102.2°F (39°C), the sick report a severe cough that brings them to tears, and blood when they cough up. Tests for COVID-19 and flu come back negative, and according to patients, antibiotics do not help. Hal Turner Analysis: Winter/Spring viruses are nothing new, but THIS virus seems new. When was the last time any of us heard of a virus causing "bloody cough that lasts for weeks?" In fact, the last time that I heard of a "bloody cough" was when there was an Ebola outbreak in Africa. A bloody cough is not common - at all. That's a worry because at this particular time in world events, what is PROBABLY running through minds inside Russia is whether or not this is some type of bio-weapon attack from one of those Biolabs set up in Ukraine by the United States? It's a fair question. The Russians have not said WHEN this virus began, or WHERE, but we know from today's information that people "develop a bloody cough FOR WEEKS." So we know this must be going on inside Russia "for weeks." How many weeks? How many people infected? Have any died? If so, how many? No answers. I suspect it will not take long for the Russians to isolate and analyze this new virus. The Russians are smart people and they HAVE the labs necessary to isolate and analyze this thing. If this thing has hallmarks of genetic engineering, and Russia declares this to be a Bio-Weapons attack by . . . the West . . . . , then all our fates are sealed.
