Israel’s 8-Year-Old ‘Showcase Child’ for COVID Vaccines Dies of Heart Attack.

An eight-year-old boy used as a “showcase child” in Israel’s national COVID-19 vaccine rollout has died following a heart attack and subsequently drowning while taking a bath.

Yonatan Moshe Erlichman was rushed to hospital in a “serious condition” after suffering the cardiac arrest but died several days later on September 28th.

“Our Yonatan Moshe passed away a short time ago. On the eve of Yom Kippur, Yonatan went into cardiac arrest in our home, and since then we have struggled by his side after he collapsed. With love, we thank all those dear to us, who were by our side during the last days of his life,” his family said in a statement following the incident.

Erlichman, then aged five, first appeared in a video produced by the Math Binyamin regional council in 2020 to “educate” children about the COVID-19 vaccine in an Israel government-funded program known as “Shushki in the Land on Binyamin.”

Yonatan is not the first vaccine poster child to have unexpectedly died after Santinio Godoy Blanco, a four-year-old boy from Argentina, lost his life to “bilateral pneumonia” last year.

One recent study found that the COVID-19 vaccine reprograms a child’s immune system for up to six months after vaccination, which impacts the body’s ability to combat other dangerous pathogens.

British Cop Raped at Knifepoint Under Eiffel Tower.

A 23-year-old British policewoman has been raped at knifepoint in Paris, France, at the base of the city’s iconic Eiffel Tower.

The young woman, visiting the socialist-run city with a friend, was reportedly relieving herself behind a bush when the attacker pounced. He pulled the knife on her when she attempted to resist, and fled the scene after completing his attack.

He was found and arrested roughly an hour later, however, with the authorities describing him as “unbalanced”.

Despite its status as the home of France’s best-known landmark, the Champ-de-Mars where the Eiffel Tower is based has long been a haunt of dangerous criminals. Three Algerians were arrested for gang-raping a French woman in the park in July, and two Brazilian sisters were attacked in February.

Reports in both the British and French press avoided offering any physical description of the man who attacked the British policewoman, nor information on his nationality and background, describing him only as a 35-year-old.

A Jihadist Rocket Aimed at Israel Hit the Gaza Hospital, Killing 500+, Says IDF.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that intelligence sources indicate it was an Islamic Jihad terrorist group rocket that hit a Gaza hospital, killing hundreds, as opposed to an Israeli strike as first claimed by international corporate media and terror group Hamas. The IDF provided video to support their claims.

“Following an analysis by the IDF’s operational systems, a barrage of rockets was launched toward Israel, which passed in the vicinity of the hospital, when it was hit,” the IDF said in a statement posted on X. “According to intelligence information from a number of sources we have, Islamic Jihad terrorist organization is responsible for the failed rocket launch that hit the hospital.”

In the immediate aftermath of the blast, it was reported that upwards of 500 Palestinians had been killed with the number expected to rise. U.S. corporate media and some Members of Congress were quick to condemn the Israeli military, citing Hamas claims that it was an Israeli airstrike that hit the hospital. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said, “Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes.” Omar insinuated that it was the IDF that orchestrated the attack. CNN and MSNBC both reported that an Israeli airstrike was responsible for the deadly blast – repeating the claims made by Hamas.

Canadian Prime Minister Justine Trudeau, also appeared to uncritically accept Hamas’s narrative. “The news coming out of Gaza is horrific and absolutely unacceptable. International humanitarian and international law needs to be respected in this and in all cases,” Trudeau said shortly after the new broke.

“The barbaric terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the Gaza hospital, not the IDF,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pushing back against corporate media that was quick to blame his country’s military. “Those who cruelly murdered our children, murder their children as well.”

The Islamic Jihad is a terrorist organization that seeks to establish an Islamist Palestinian state. It is the second-largest militant group in Gaza after Hamas and frequently uses rockets as a weapon of terror against Israel.

India’s Supreme Court Refuses to Legalize Gay Marriage.

The Indian Supreme Court has refused to legalize gay marriage in a ruling announced Tuesday morning, arguing the decision is political and, therefore, an issue for the nation’s parliament.

Five Supreme Court judges initially heard the legal arguments between April and May this year, with the verdict reached on a three to two split decision. The Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud, stated there was a degree of “agreement and disagreement on how far we have to go” on the issue.

“The court, in the exercise of the power of judicial review, must steer clear of matters, particularly those impinging on policy, which fall in the legislative domain,” Chief Justice Chandrachud added.

Civil union for gay couples was also rejected by the court in another split decision, with the majority once again ruling that it was an issue for parliament to consider. India decriminalized homosexuality in 2018.

It is unlikely that the Indian parliament will support gay marriage, however, as the nation’s Narendra Modi-led government wrote a statement to the court arguing, “Living together as partners and having sexual relationship by same-sex individuals… is not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife, and children.”

Fewer than 40 countries across the world permit gay marriage, including only two countries in Asia – Taiwan and Nepal. Thailand and South Korea, however, are currently considering the move.

German Globalists Are Plotting Legislation to Ban the Populist ‘AfD’ Party.

Members of Angela Merkel‘s so-called “conservative” Christian Democrats (CDU) have begun drawing up legislation that would ban the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party.

Marco Wanderwitz, a Member of the German Bundestag and former Eastern Commissioner of the Federal Government, who is currently drafting the legislation, requires 36 other Bundestag members to support the proposal to ensure the parliament votes on the motion later this year.

If banned, the AfD would be forced to forfeit all administrative and political positions it has already secured across the country and the European continent, with  the government also permitted to seize all the party’s assets and resources.

“We are dealing with a party that seriously endangers our free democratic basic order and the state as a whole,” Wanderwitz told a German broadcaster last week before adding: “that’s why it’s high time to ban them.”

Much of the German establishment, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has already begun proposing a ban on the party as it began rising in the national polls. It is currently in second place behind the CDU with 22.5 percent support.

There has also been a surge in violence against a number of the party’s members, with one of the AfD’s co-chairman recently hospitalized after supposedly being stabbed with a needle at a political event and the other forced into hiding following credible death threats, among many other incidents.

Trump: Zelensky Shaking Down Biden is ‘Like Taking Candy from a Baby’.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is squeezing the American taxpayer and European Union governments are skipping out on paying their fair share because Joe Biden lacks the wits to put America first, Donald Trump told The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.

“I think these are the dumbest people I’ve ever seen,” the former president said of Biden and the people who run his government in an exclusive interview.

“I just watched him today with Zelensky, handing over money, money, just like nothing; like taking candy from a baby,” he lamented.

“Look, I feel very badly for the Ukrainian people,” Trump stressed. “Here’s the problem: Europe isn’t paying their share. Europe’s in for 25 billion, and we’re in for 200 billion,” he explained, likening the issue to the one he dealt with regarding NATO during his presidency.

“In NATO, they weren’t paying up. Twenty-eight countries, and almost all of them were not paid up; they owed hundreds of billions of dollars and we were spending three times, four times than we were supposed to just keeping it together for them – and then they took advantage of us on trade on top of everything else,” Trump said.

“I said listen, if you don’t pay, we’re not going to defend you any longer… I said if you’re not paid up, if you’re delinquent, which you are right now, that means if you get attacked we’re not going to do any defense of you. The money poured in like you wouldn’t believe,” he recalled.

“The [NATO] Secretary-General, [Jens] Stoltenberg, said he’s never seen anything like it… Obama would come, make a speech and leave, Bush would come, make a speech and leave, Trump would come and say what’s wrong with your books here? Nobody’s paying.”

Trump said the Europeans could not be blamed for letting America do all the heavy lifting, however, as America under Biden has proved so willing to be taken advantage of: “They’re saying, why should we do it when the stupid leaders of the United States are doing it? I would say the same thing: If you don’t have to do it, you don’t have to do it,” he said, analyzing the Europeans’ minimum-effort attitude with a businessman’s eye.

He vowed there would be equalization when he returns to the White House, however, with Europe told in no uncertain terms that any future payments would have to be “at least” 50-50.

The EU Will TRIPLE Palestinian Aid, One Week After Pledging to Suspend It.

The European Union (EU) is preparing to triple the amount of humanitarian aid it provides to the Gaza Strip, backtracking on its decision to suspend all aid and financial support to the area following Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel last weekend. 

The European Commission will now send €75 million instead of €25 million to the Hamas-controlled area, with the decision coming soon after a conversation between EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Antonio Guterres, on Saturday. 

Elsewhere, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, is set to convene senior figures within the EU to address the bloc’s constant flip-flopping over the current conflict.

“We stand in full solidarity with the people of Israel and the victims of the terrorist attacks,” Michel stated before adding, “the unfolding tragic scenes in the Gaza Strip resulting from the siege and the lack of basic needs combined with the destruction brought by significant shelling, are raising alarm bells in the international community.”

However, EU financial and humanitarian aid has already been misappropriated by Hamas, with the widely recognized terrorist organization turning $100 million worth of EU-funded water piping into makeshift rockets to fire into Israel.

Top Globalist, Former EU Prez Likely to Retake Power in Poland.

Law and Justice (PiS), Poland’s governing national conservative party, has likely lost power to a coalition of liberal parties led by former European Council president Donald Tusk in an election with record-high turnout.

Exit and late polls indicate PiS, which became the first party since the fall of communism to win an outright majority in the Polish legislature in 2015, and retained power in 2019, will still be the largest party in the Sejm (roughly equivalent to the U.S. House of Representatives) once all the votes are counted – but not large enough to govern alone.

Tusk’s Civic Coalition (KO), comprised of several “centrist” and left-leaning parties, is in second, but the smaller Third Way (TD) and New Left (Nowa Lewice/NL) coalitions have indicated they will ally with Tusk to form a combined government. The three together should be able to command a slim but decisive legislative majority.

Konfederacja (Confederation), a pro-tax cuts, anti-mass migration party, ruled out forming a coalition with PiS prior to the elections, but may have enabled it to continue leading a minority government in exchange for key policy concession. It appears to have performed far below expectations, however, and will most likely be unable to help PiS reach the required 231-seat majority to pass a budget.

PiS organized four referendums to fall on the same day as the election. Voters were asked whether state-owned companies should be sold to foreign entities, whether the European Union should be allowed to impose migrant quotas on Poland, whether a border wall should be dismantled, and whether the retirement age, which PiS lowered to 60 for women and 65 for men, should be increased. All four proposals appear to have been rejected by overwhelming margins of over 95 percent.

Tusk increased the retirement age to 67 when he was Prime Minister, and his party agreed to a EU migrant quotas and opposed the border wall. They have attempted to sabotage the referendums, however, by urging supporters to boycott them, as results are not binding unless over 50 percent of the electorate participates.

Currently, turnout in the elections stands at over 70 percent, but turnout in the referendums is hovering around 45 percent.

New Zealand Just Elected Its Most Conservative Government in Decades.

Voters in New Zealand have elected a right-wing government, ousting the party once led by COVID tyrant Jacinda Ardern.

The coalition government will be led by Christopher Luxon, a former chief executive of Air New Zealand, and will consist of his center-right National Party and Act, a smaller libertarian party.

Voters cited the cost of living as their primary concern, leading to the collapse of support for the Labour Party, which won 50 percent of the vote in 2020. With most of the vote counted, the National Party won 39 percent of the vote, up from 26 percent in 2020, and will now lead the coalition government.

The new right-wing coalition government in New Zealand is a return to form for the country, which has mostly had coalition governments since implementing proportional representation in 1993.

This is the first time the National Party, which last governed alone in the early 1980s, has been in coalition with a more conservative partner.

The National Party campaigned on tax cuts, promising relief for ordinary families. However, critics question the funding for those cuts and believe they disproportionately favor property owners while cutting benefits for disabled people.

The inflation rate has slightly eased but New Zealanders still face challenges such as high house and rent prices, a high cost of borrowing, and the ongoing effects of global shocks.
