Oleksandr Kamyshin, a senior Ukrainian government official, has expressed his ‘disbelief‘ after learning that nearly half of the bomb shelters in Kiev are closed or unfit for use.
Kamyshin, who is Ukraine’s Minister of Strategic Industries, announced that out of 1,078 bomb shelters in the Ukrainian capital, 359 were unprepared and another 122 locked – only 597 were “useable.”
“I greeted with disbelief the fact that half were open and considered ready… Yesterday, when we selectively checked the shelters in the Obolon district with our mayor, the absolute majority of the shelters were closed.”
– Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Strategic Industries, Ukraine.
President Zelenksy ordered an inspection of all Ukrainian shelters on Friday, June 2 after three people were killed as a result of being unable to access the appropriate shelter.
Mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, said on Friday that he bore “some responsibility but said others were also to blame.”
As of May 19th, the U.S. has directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including humanitarian, financial, and military aid, states the globalist Council on Foreign Relations.
There have been a number of concerns raised about the destination of U.S. financial assistance. Most notably, Seymour Hersh’s investigation into the Ukrainian government’s $400 million embezzlement scandal.

Tensions in the Balkans are once again on the rise as U.S. and European diplomats are desperately attempting to subdue open warfare in southern Europe.
Western officials have blamed the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, for the growing tensions after he deployed armored vehicles to install ethnic Albanian mayors in a Serb-populated area of Kosovo, injuring 50 Serb protesters.
The incident also witnessed more than 30 NATO peacekeepers (Kfor) injured in the unrest as they clashed with the protesting Serbs. U.S. authorities warned Kurti against installing ethnic Albanian mayors by force after Serbs boycotted a recent election in the region.
The criticism was “unprecedented and signaled a collapse in the diplomatic process,” reports the Wall Street Journal.
“It is very clear that Kosovar authorities bear responsibility for the current situation,” stated French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.
U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, joined Macron in telling Kurti, “[t]hese actions have sharply and unnecessarily escalated tensions.”
Russia further raised tensions this week after Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Wednesday that the Kremlin supports ethnic Serbs “without question” and that Serbs rights “must be respected.”
The Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, condemned the growing violence as “unacceptable and must stop.”
“We have decided to deploy 700 more troops from the operational reserve force for Western Balkans and to put an additional battalion of reserve forces on high alertness so that they can also be deployed if needed,” Stoltenberg added.

Elon Musk has hired NBC executive Joe Benarroch — a former underling of NBC and World Economic Forum (WEF) executive Linda Yaccarino, the new Twitter CEO — to a senior role at the social media platform.
Free speech advocates were concerned by the elevation of Yaccarino, who had a history of involvement in WEF initiatives to curb online speech and had pressed Musk to give corporate advertisers more influence over content moderation at Twitter before she was hired.
These concerns will be heightened with the news that Joe Benarroch, a former colleague of Yaccarino at NBC, will be joining her at Twitter, given he was the network’s frontman in the censorship of pro-Trump, pro-Republican adverts warning against illegal immigration in 2018.
Profiles on Bennaroch, who is in a same-sex marriage, often harp on the need to be “inclusive” and “elevat[e] diverse perspectives”.
In a 2020 tweet to Yaccarino, who had said it was “time for action and working towards a more inclusive society,” he declared: “I commit to being open and inclusive in everything I do!”
Benarroch appears to be a believer in the woke iteration of inclusion, however, having shared pictures of himself watching drag queen shows with his adopted infant daughter online.
He is also the author of a children’s book, Rachel’s Dreams and Hats. The Facebook page for the book shared an “inspiring” quote from Hillary Clinton after Trump defeated her in 2016.

Ukrainian soldiers are displaying Nazi iconography on their uniforms, the New York Times has finally accepted, even admitting that “diplomats, Western journalists and advocacy groups” avoid making mention of it, therefore allowing it to spread.
Army photos “highlight the Ukrainian military’s complicated relationship with Nazi imagery, a relationship forged under both Soviet and German occupation during World War II,” the Times reports, echoing the kind of reporting produced by The National Pulse over a year ago.
As an example, the “Black Sun” symbol, which appeared in the castle of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, is regularly appearing on the uniforms of Ukrainian soldiers.
Even Jewish groups and anti-hate organizations that have traditionally called out hateful symbols have stayed largely silent. Privately, some leaders have worried about being seen as embracing Russian propaganda talking points.
– New York Times, June 2023
Both corporate and social media have gone to extreme lengths to cover for Nazi and Neo-Nazi activity at the heart of Ukraine’s war effort. In 2022, Facebook created a special exemption for the nation’s Azov battalion, known for using Nazi overtones. The Washington Post finally admitted to the role of Azov and its relationship with Nazism last year. PBS in fact tried to cover-up for some of the Nazi imagery by blurring the background of a Ukrainian politician.

Women in Scotland are aborting their babies at increasingly higher rates due to ‘financial pressures‘ and the overall cost of living, caused in large part by the UK government’s embrace of climate change policies including “net zero” carbon targets, as well as the need to cover the costs of pandemic lockdowns.
According to Public Health Scotland, there were 16,584 abortions in 2022, representing a 19 percent increase compared to 2021.
As of 2022, the rate of abortion in Scotland is 16.1 per 1000 women, an overall increase of almost five percent in comparison to the levels in 2013.
Racheal Clarke, Chief of Staff at British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), told BBC Radio Scotland’s drive time program:
“I think that what we see increasingly are women who, a few years ago, may have chosen to continue a pregnancy, who ultimately now are faced with really difficult decisions about the future of their job, their certainty of housing, about whether they can afford food and heating and electricity.”
Women in poorer areas of the country had twice as many abortions as those in richer areas, with 4,744, compared to 2,219 in the “most well-off places.” Household energy prices doubled between 2019 and 2022 in Scotland.

A Russian soldier was either killed or wounded for every 48cm – 18.8 inches – advanced toward the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) claims.
Russia began its 29km – 18 mile – advance on Bakhmut in May 2022, losing up to 60,000 soldiers in the process – a figure that a “Western official” claims to be a “conservative estimate.”
Bakhmut fell to the Russian military in mid-May this year after witnessing the largest battle of the 21st century, with a total military deployment of around 120,000 troops.
The MoD also claims that the city is now home to just one percent of the “pre-war population of 70,000” people; and those who have remained in the city have “no access to power, water or heating.”
According to Reuters, both sides are still suffering “significant losses” around the devastated city as Ukrainian forces hold a small foothold in the area.
Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed on a trip to Washington D.C. in December 2022 that Bakhmut was the “fortress of our morale.”
In February 2022, Russia likely planned to complete the capture of the whole of the Donbas region within 10-14 days.
But in Bakhmut, for every 48cm gained, one of its soldiers has been killed or wounded.

Violent Antifa riots have left dozens injured, as well as causing millions in damage this weekend in Leipzig, Germany.
The events unfolded after the conviction of ‘Lina E’ – a violence-obsessed far-left activist who attacked political opponents with “hammers, iron bars and baseball [bats].”
Around 1,500 people participated, protesting against the conviction, despite German courts refusing to authorize protests. Olaf Hoppe, spokesman for the Leipzig Police, said after the protests, “one-third of [the 1,500] were either inclined towards violence, or were actively seeking violence.”
The police, who initially attempted to accommodate demonstrators, were attacked with “stone, pyrotechnics, and other objects,” with the protestors erecting barricades and lighting fires. A total of 23 police officers were injured, and 17 vehicles were damaged.
Lina E was sentenced earlier this week to five years in prison alongside three male accomplices, who received between two to five years.
Germany’s problem with Left-wing violence has been skyrocketing in recent years. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) announced that, as of 2021, there are now more than 10,000 “violence-orientated” extreme Leftists in the country.

Alice Austen House, a designated LGBTQ+ museum based in Staten Island, New York City, is claiming all of the plants in the museum’s gardens are queer or transgender, as part of a new ‘Queer Ecologies Garden Project’ in time for Pride Month.
The mushrooms in the garden “are super queer in so many ways,” says Ms. Munro, who is trying to make the museum’s gardens “a welcoming space for L.G.B.T.Q. New Yorkers.”
Ms. Munro also says wisteria and lavender are queer because “[t]hey are all purple, which is this historically queer color.”
“[M]any plants and flowers, to use human terms, are transgender or bisexual, in that they can change sex or have both reproductive organs and can self-pollinate,” asserts Alyson Krueger for a New York Times article on the subject.
According to the non-binary garden consultant overseeing the project, Mx. Prefer, the Queer Ecologies Garden project “challenges the notion that being queer is a choice… If nature is doing it, it’s natural.”
This follows the most recent update from Anheuser-Busch – the parent company of Bud Light – that the decision to promote Bud Light using Dylan Mulvaney cost the company $27 billion.

The official Twitter account of the Washington, D.C. Metro – @WMATA – posted a message on Saturday reminding residents of “the Children’s Pride Parade” taking place in the Democrat-run city.
The parade – hosted by the D.C. Public Library – was originally hidden from the group’s social media accounts. Instead, flyers advertised an event “especially for kids, many of whom are coming out at younger ages.”
The gathering took place in Georgetown on Saturday, June 3rd, with the assistance of the D.C. Metro system, which tweeted:
DC Library listed events include “An Evening with Chasten Buttigieg” titled “I have Something to Tell You,” where Buttigieg, who is gay, will discuss his coming-out journey with “adults of all ages, parents, and kids.”
“Chasten’s ultimate goal is to show young people that they are not alone and to inspire them to forge their own path to acceptance,” the event description says.
Social media critics called it, “A major DC grooming event,” and called such events, “the hijacking of a generation witnessed in real time.”

The Atlantic magazine – owned by late Apple founder Steve Jobs’s widow Laurene Powell Jobs – asserts that it is “Okay to Like Good Art by Bad People” – citing pederasts and pedophiles such as Oscar Wilde and Roman Polanski as those who need representation. The article even concludes that the debauched behavior is inseparable from the art.
Judith Shulevitz focuses primarily on Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma, a book by Claire Dederer considering whether people should continue to enjoy works by moral “monsters”. Readers are told art “transcends the artist” – however depraved.
Shulevitz leads on Oscar Wilde, the Anglo-Irish author and libertine often heralded as something of an LGBTQ icon due the “gross indecency” conviction he incurred in relation to homosexual activities.
To her at least partial credit, Shulevitz concedes that Wilde was more than an innocent victim of Victorian bigotry, as he did not just “sleep with men” but with “rent boys” and what she dubiously describes as “teenage boys picked up for brief trysts.”
The detail is more unpleasant than she wishes to disclose, however, with Wilde accused at trial of having been caught with a 14-year-old boy in his bed at the Savoy Hotel, of “seducing” a boy aged 16, and of taking advantage of a serving boy the same age – Wilde’s defense in court was that the sevant in question was “very ugly” – among other depredations.
“Fifteen and most sweet… every day I kissed him behind the high altar,” he said of one of his child lovers, Giuseppe Loverde, in a lecherous letter penned in Sicily not long before his death aged 46.
Polanski.
Shulevitz also discusses Roman Polanski, the French-born three-time Oscar winner, who has been a fugitive from the American justice system since the 1970s, when he plied a 13-year-old girl with alcohol and drugs at Jack Nicholson’s house and sodomized her.
Hollywood coddled the 89-year-old pedophile for decades, with Quentin Tarantino, for example, saying he did not believe “13-year-old party girls” should be considered victims as recently as 2003.
In conclusion, Shulevitz returns to the words of Wilde himself to justify indulging in the works of such men, whether unquestionably guilty or under a cloud of suspicion.
“I don’t believe you can separate [Wilde’s] aestheticism or his buoyant writing from his role as a sexual nonconformist,” Shulevitz says – a curious way to reframe his pedophilic taste in underage boys – and recommends we “heed his warning about the consequences of a triumph of morality over art: ‘Art will become sterile, and Beauty will pass away from the land.'”
