Poland Halts Weapons Transfers to Ukraine After Being Insulted by Zelensky at the UN.

Poland, Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe, has announced it will no longer send weapons to Volodymyr Zelensky, who insulted the NATO member at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly over its efforts to stop an influx of Ukrainian grain.

Ukraine is a major grain producer and exporter, and Zelensky has often claimed that Russia’s control over the Black Sea is preventing food from reaching the Third World – but much of the food leaving Ukraine is not going to the Third World, but instead flooding neighboring European Union member-states and undercutting local farmers.

The European Commission, the EU’s unelected executive, has refused to extend a temporary ban on Ukrainian grain, but Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia are imposing local bans unilaterally, in defiance of the EU’s claims to exclusive control over trade policy. Zelensky responded to the bans by insulting the governments involved at the UN, suggesting they are aiding Russia.

The Polish government, which is looking after more Ukrainian refugees than any other country, hosts workshops repairing Ukrainian military equipment, and has supplied Zelensky with artillery, tanks, and warplanes, has reacted strongly to the insult, declaring that Polish weapons shipments are now at an end: “We are now arming Poland,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

Poland and Ukraine have a strained historical relationship, despite the former’s strong support for the Ukrainian war effort, with Ukrainian nationalists having massacred over a hundred thousand ethnic Poles in formerly Polish territory, now incorporated into Ukraine, during the Second World War. These nationalists, and in particular their leader Stepan Bandera, are celebrated as heroes in Ukraine to this day.

Ukrainian Bombed Its Own Civilians, Blamed Russia, and the Media Blindly Followed.

A missile strike on the city of Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine on September 6 killed at least 15 civilians and injured over 30 others. The missile struck a market, causing extensive damage to windows and walls. President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly blamed Russian “terrorists” for the attack, but evidence collected and analyzed by the New York Times suggests that the strike was actually caused by an errant Ukrainian air defense missile fired by a Buk launch system. The missile appears to have veered off course, with Ukrainian authorities now claiming they are investigating the incident.

Witness accounts and evidence, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, and social media posts, indicate the missile that hit the market in Kostiantynivka came from Ukrainian-held territory, not from behind Russian lines. Security camera footage shows four pedestrians turning their heads towards the incoming missile, facing the camera and the direction of Ukrainian-held territory. The missile’s reflection is also visible as it passes over two parked cars, confirming its northwestern trajectory. The timing of two surface-to-air missile launches from the town of Druzhkivka, just minutes before the strike, coincides with the timeframe for the missile that hit the market. The launches were witnessed by residents and recorded by a member of the New York Times team.

At the time, global media outlets include the Times itself blindly reiterated Zelensky’s false claims.

Ukraine Wants Russia Prosecuted for ‘Crimes Against Nature’.

The Ukrainian government wants to prosecute Russia for crimes against nature (ecocide) in the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands, arguing that Putin‘s forces have deliberately destroyed much of Ukraine’s natural environment since the war began in February last year.

Ukrainians highlight the over 67,000 square miles of the country covered with unexploded mines, rendering vast swaths of territory uninhabitable due to the danger as well as multiple forests across the country that have been deliberately razed or destroyed by the Russian army.

“We’ve been able to demine just 50 hectares out of 11,800 hectares so far… just imagine how many years it will take to clear all the mines,” says Volodymyr Savchenko, an employee at the Holy Mountains National Nature Park in eastern Ukraine.

Scientists are also trying to determine to what extent the soil has been poisoned by bombs, tank debris, and other weaponry as well as the impact the war has had on the country’s wildlife, including boars, deer, foxes, and moose.

“Nature gives us strength and inspiration. Russia’s destruction of our nature is akin to the destruction of Ukrainians… this is ecocide – 100 percent,” argues Ukrainian scientist Ivan Rusev.

However, ecocide is yet to be recognized as a crime in international law and is not incorporated in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Only ten countries consider it to be a crime, such as France, Ecuador, Ukraine, and even Russia.

Libya Flood Deaths Pass 11,000, With 10K Missing.

The death toll in eastern Libya following devastating floods has surpassed 11,000, according to the Libyan Red Crescent. On Friday, the organization reported least 11,300 people have died, with another 10,100 reported missing. Widespread flooding in the North African nation has been attributed to Mediterranean storm Daniel, which caused heavy rain, washed away entire neighborhoods, and carried bodies out to sea. The city of Derna was particularly affected, with two dams collapsing, resulting in the destruction of a quarter of the area. Local officials declared the city a disaster zone, with electricity and communication services cut off.

Aid from numerous countries has been pledged, but delivering supplies to the affected regions has proved challenging due to blocked roads and destroyed bridges. The ongoing political situation, where the country is divided between two warring governments, has further hindered rescue efforts. The lack of a functioning meteorological service has also been pointed out as a contributing factor to the high number of casualties. The head of the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization stated on Thursday that most of the flooding-related deaths could have been prevented if the country had a reliable meteorological service in place.

Pope Francis, Tony Blair, & Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla Join Clinton Foundation Event Promoting Globalism.

The Clinton Foundation has announced Pope Francis will participate in the charity’s annual “Clinton Global Initiative” between September 18 and 19 next week, with the pontiff expected to discuss various topics including climate change, the migrant crisis, child welfare, and projects involving children’s hospitals alongside former United States President Bill Clinton.

Pope Francis will be one of a number of influential figures involved in the annual event, with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, Governor of California Gavin Newsom, CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, among multiple others, all set to join.

The CGI was first launched by the Clintons in 2005 and claims to convene “global leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, inclusive economic growth, and health equity.”

Pope Francis has become increasingly vocal throughout his papal tenure, such as recently suggesting U.S. Catholic conservatives are “backward” as well as calling for “global governance” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ukraine Lobbyist Boris Johnson Begs Trump, ‘Don’t Stop Supporting Ukraine.’

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson – who is believed to have thwarted an early-brokered peace between Ukraine and Russia – is now urging Donald Trump to continue the wasteful and unaccountable U.S. support for the nation in his second term.

Johnson visited Ukraine again last week, and has now warned in a new column in the globalist Spectator magazine that Russian success would be a “catastrophe” for Western and American leadership. Johnson peddled the same neoconservative positions he used while Prime Minister, before his ouster over corruption.

“I don’t believe it is an outcome that could easily be endured by a US President, let alone one who wanted to Make America Great Again. And if, on the other hand, Ukraine wins and kicks Putin out – as, with our help, they can – then the reverse is true.”

– Boris Johnson, September 2023.

“Exactly the opposite message will be sent around the world: that we do care about democracy, that we are willing to back our principles, and that the West still has the guts to stick at something until we succeed,” Johnson added.

Instead, Johnson supports the view of the Biden government in continuing to send billions of dollars in weaponry, machinery, and aid to maintain the war, which has already led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and tens of thousands of amputations and life-changing injuries.

Johnson also recently claimed he wants to force the Taliban to watch women’s soccer until they finally appreciate women’s sports.

Caribbean Nations Demand $33 TRILLION in Slavery Reparations.

Caribbean nations are demanding a staggering $33 trillion from Europeans as a ‘formal apology’ for their role in the Transatlantic slave trade, with ‘Caricom,’ an economic and political union representing 15 West Indian countries, establishing a ten-point plan to conduct negotiations.

The plan will request a formal apology, repatriation to Africa for “those persons who wish to return,” education and healthcare funding, transfers of technology, and debt cancellation, among other things.

The report has calculated that Great Britain owes the largest amount at $19.6 trillion – more than six times the country’s annual GDP – followed by France at $6.3 trillion, then Spain at $6.3 trillion. Jamaica alone demands $9.5 trillion.

“We need a figure to begin with, a negotiating figure,” argued vice-chairwoman of Caricom, Verene Shepherd, who added: “The crime is huge. The responsibility for what happened is huge.”

Caricom first established a reparations commission in 2013, regularly writing and contacting former colonial powers about receiving reparations. Yet, it “didn’t get a positive response” from the countries, according to vice-chairwoman Shepherd.

Proponents of slavery reparations neglect to mention that Great Britain took out one of the largest loans in human history to emancipate those enslaved throughout the Caribbean in the 1830s. The British also dedicated major naval resources to patrolling the Atlantic to enforce the abolition of the Transatlantic slave trade through the early- to mid-nineteenth century, capturing and releasing an estimated 200,000 people at the cost of thousands of British lives.

WARNING: Not A Single EU Nation Has ‘Self-Sustaining Birth Rates’.

President of Hungary Katalin Novak has warned that Europe’s collapsing birthrate is the greatest crisis facing the continent as every country is reproducing below replacement rates, with only her own country having implemented plans to address the emergency.

Katalin told interviewers in an hour-long discussion before the Budapest Demographic Forum that “[n]ot having enough children is not only a Hungarian phenomenon, it is the same everywhere… If we just think about the fact that there is not a single country in Europe today that has enough children to even maintain its population — so we are not talking about population growth — then we can sense how big the problem is.”

She then quoted X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk that the Western baby bust is more serious than “climate change,” explaining, “I am also inclined to take that as a true statement. It is a problem for Europe as a whole, and indeed for the Western world as a whole.”

Hungary has been at the forefront of trying to increase birthrates, with Prime Minister Viktor Orban suggesting in 2018 that the combination of low birth rates and mass immigration could bring about “the end of Christian Europe.” As a result, the Hungarian government has introduced various policies to incentivize parents to have more children, such as subsidizing family homes and tax reductions for families with children.

Birth rates would have to exceed 2.1 per woman to maintain current population levels, however, most countries are far below this target. France’s birthrate is 1.83, Germany’s is 1.53, Hungary’s is 1.56, Britain’s is also 1.56, and Italy’s is just 1.24.

Yet, it is not only Europe that is struggling to maintain its population, as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively encouraging the Chinese people to increase procreation, even offering to cover the costs of IVF treatment.

Whistleblower: CIA Bribed ‘Experts’ to Opposite Wuhan Lab COVID Origins.

A whistleblower has told the House of Representatives’ Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) effectively bribed researchers who said the Wuhan virus originated in a lab to change their opinion.

The whistleblower, described as a “highly credible senior-level CIA officer” by the House Oversight Committee, alleges that six of seven officers assigned to investigate the origins of COVID-19 initially concluded that it “likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China” – but they were “offered financial incentives… to change their conclusion in favor of a zoonotic origin.”

The committee chairmen – Reps. Wenstrup (R-OH) and Turner (R-OH) – have written to the CIA requesting that Andrew Makridis, the CIA’s former Chief Operating Officer (COO), submit to a “voluntary transcribed interview,” and asked for all documents and communications between state officials and the COVID Discovery Team.

“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the lone officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis. The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote the chairmen.

They are particularly interested in communications related to the team’s “pay history, to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive/financial bonus”.

Putin ‘Caught’ UK-Trained Forces Trying to Sabotage Nuclear Plant.

British-trained Ukrainian saboteurs were allegedly caught on Russian soil on a mission to “damage one of our nuclear power plants, blow up… high-voltage transmission lines, with the aim of disrupting the power plant’s operation,” according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned such operations could “provoke us into taking retaliatory actions against Ukrainian nuclear facilities”.

“Not long ago, on our territory, the Federal Security Service, during an armed confrontation, eliminated several troops and captured the rest,” the Russian president alleged, adding that interrogations had revealed the saboteurs were “trained by British instructors.”

“Do they understand what they are playing with?” Putin asked, claiming this “was not [the Ukrainians’] first attempt” to attack a Russian nuclear plant.

“Does the British government and the Prime Minister know what their intelligence agencies are doing in Ukraine, or are they are clueless?” he continued, adding that he would not be surprised to find “that British intelligence agencies are acting under the instructions of the Americans”.

Putin said the West would claim captured saboteurs “say whatever you want at gunpoint,” but insisted “the leadership of the British intelligence agencies knows that I am telling the truth.”

He reiterated he was “not sure if Britain’s leaders truly understand what is going on,” however.
