    Vladimir Putin has accused Western leaders of clinging "to the shadows of the past" as he creates a new world order with his invasion of Ukraine.The world will not be as it was before the "special operation", Putin said in his speech at the plenary session of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum."It is erroneous to believe that one can sit and wait when the time of turbulent changes goes by, when everything goes back to where it was. It won't," Putin said. According to him, the changes are fundamental, "crucial and inexorable”.However, he said that Western countries "cling to...
  • Scientists Have 'Healed' a Heart Attack in Mice by Regenerating Muscle Cells

    Scientists have developed a new technique that can repair and even regenerate heart muscle cells after a heart attack (or myocardial infarction). While it has only been tested on mice so far, if it works the same in humans it could potentially be a life-saving treatment for people who have suffered a heart attack. The technique uses a synthetic messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). mRNA creates a 'blueprint' of DNA sequences that the body then uses to build the proteins that form and regulate our cells. By tweaking the mRNA, scientists can deliver different instructions for different biological processes. Here, the...

    Hours after former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens released a video saying he would hunt members of the Republican party who he considered not conservative enough, the Republican floor leader of the Missouri state Senate said he had contacted law enforcement. “We have been in contact with the Missouri Highway Patrol and hope that former Gov Greitens finds the help he needs,” Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden posted on Twitter Monday. “Anyone with multiple accusations of abuse toward women and children should probably steer clear of this rhetoric.”

    Venture Global LNG Inc. has struck the first binding deals by a U.S. natural-gas exporter to supply natural gas to a German company, as the European nation turns to America to help replace supplies from Russia. On Tuesday, Venture Global said it agreed to sell 1.5 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas a year in two separate 20-year deals with German energy company EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, starting in 2026. Half of the amount will come from Venture’s Plaquemines LNG facility under construction in Louisiana, while the other half will come from another proposed facility in that state, it...
  • Giant Sunspot Has Doubled in Size in 24 Hours and It's Pointed at Earth

    The sunspot that has been growing in size recently is known as AR3038. Footage from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on Sunday shows how the sunspot has evolved over the past day or so, twisting and contorting. "Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it's enormous," reads the SpaceWeather.com website. "The fast-growing sunspot has doubled in size in only 24 hours." The magnetic field associated with the sunspot means it could potentially send an M-class solar flare at Earth—the second-strongest type. However, it is not known whether this will be the case. As of Monday morning the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's...
  • NASA's Artemis 1 moon rocket passes crucial fueling test despite leak

    NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission completed a crucial preflight milestone today (June 20), wrapping up a two-day set of tests known as a wet dress rehearsal. Those tests included fueling up Artemis 1's huge Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and performing a simulated countdown that took the vehicle and NASA's Orion capsule through most of the progressions they would endure on launch day before engine ignition. The simulated countdown reached its conclusion at 7:37 p.m. EDT (2337 GMT), bringing an end to the wet dress. Not everything went perfectly smoothly. The Artemis 1 team noticed a hydrogen leak during fueling...

    Several recent studies have indicated the Covid-19 vaccines actually increase the risk of contracting the disease over time, but these studies have been ignored or even debunked by corporate media and Big Pharma for months. Now, they’ll have to contend with a new study published in the highly respected New England Journal of Medicine. This study was huge in scale, sifting through data collected from over 100,000 people infected by the Omicron variant. It lends credibility to the statistical significance of the findings, which are absolutely startling. Here are the key points: * Those who have been “fully vaccinated” with...

  • The Hill: Who is Shaye Moss, former Georgia election worker to testify before Jan. 6 panel?

    The Hill ^ | 06/21/22 9:19 AM ET | BY CAROLINE VAKIL
    A former Georgia election worker is set to testify in the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot’s latest public hearing on Tuesday as the panel seeks to show former President Trump’s pressure campaign on state officials to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and his role in the riot. That official, former Fulton County, Ga., elections worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, will appear before the committee during their second panel. Georgia was among a handful of battleground states that Trump lost during the last presidential election, baselessly claiming that election fraud had been committed. Trump had urged...
  • FROM GEN M’CLELLAN’S ARMY: Editorial correspondence of the New-York Times; THE GREAT STRUGGLE AT HAND (6/21/1862)

    CAMP BEFORE RICHMOND, Wednesday, June 18, 1862. Another fine day! Comments on the weather have more than their visual significance here. They imply more than they express. Every day of sunshine advances the fall of Richmond. Three days' rain might postpone it essentially. My opening remark, therefore, is entitled to special attention. With the exception of Sunday's thunderstorm, we have had now in succession seven dry, warm days. The roads are becoming hard. The surface of the earth in the fields, except in low spots, is practicable for artillery. And unless we have a storm to-night or to-morrow, the commanding...

    South Korea successfully launched satellites into orbit with its homegrown Nuri rocket on Tuesday, a significant step for the country’s burgeoning space program after a failed attempt last year. The three-stage rocket, more than 47 meters (154 feet) long and weighing 200 tons, was launched from the Naro Space Center in the country’s southern coastal region at 4 p.m. local time. It was topped with five satellites that will carry out Earth observation missions, such as monitoring the atmosphere, for up to two years, as well as a 1.3-ton dummy satellite, according to the country’s Science Ministry. “The road from...
  • Germany takes 'bitter' decision to fire up coal power plants as Russia chokes off its vital natural gas supplies

    Gazprom, the state-controlled Russian energy company, cut natural gas flows through the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany by around 60% last week. The German economy ministry said on Sunday that idle coal power plants are already being upgraded so they can soon start generating electricity again. It said emergency laws would allow Germany to boost the generation of electricity from coal. Germany said it intends to cut the use of natural gas so it can fill its storage tanks ahead of the winter, when demand rises. "The situation is serious," Habeck, who is also vice chancellor, said. "We are therefore...
  • Goldman Sachs: 'We now see recession risk as higher and more front-loaded'

    Goldman Sachs strategists are starting to change their tune on the potential for a U.S. recession. "We now see recession risk as higher and more front-loaded," Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a new note to clients. "The main reasons are that our baseline growth path is now lower and that we are increasingly concerned that the Fed will feel compelled to respond forcefully to high headline inflation and consumer inflation expectations if energy prices rise further, even if activity slows sharply." And while Goldman stopped short of saying a recession will occur, maintaining its preview stance, the...
  • 'People haven’t had a chance to get to know her': MSNBC's Joy Reid asserts that Kamala Harris is not being treated fairly by the 'white, male' media

    MSNBC host and commentator Joy Reid spoke out over the weekend about what she feels is unfair media coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris. Reid blamed the 'white, male media' for treating Harris with a bias that would not be found during the tenure of her predecessors, in an interview with The Root. 'Think about her portfolio, voting rights, immigration and the border, and police reform. The things on her plate are the toughest things that the Biden Administration has to deal with outside of inflation and the war in Ukraine,' said Reid. Reid blames a white, male media class...

    Three Iranian fast attack craft harassed two U.S. Navy ships entering the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, Navy officials told USNI News. Cyclone-class patrol coastal ship USS Sirocco (PC-6) and Spearhead-class USNS Choctaw County (T-EPF-2) were in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday when they were approached by three Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy fast attack craft in international waters. "One of the IRGCN vessels approached Sirocco head-on at a danerously high speed and only altered course after the US patrol coastal ship issued audible warning signals to avoid a collision. The Iranian vessel also came within 50 yards of the...

  • High fossil fuel prices are good for the planet – here’s how to keep them high while avoiding riots or hurting the poor

    06/21/2022 6:18:23 AM PDT · by TigerClaws · 75 replies
    In the UK, it now costs more than £100 to fill up a typical family car with petrol, and oil prices could rise even further. But are such high prices for fossil fuels a bad thing? While attention is focused on measures to tackle the global cost of living crisis, there has been much less focus on a very uncomfortable truth – that solving the climate crisis requires fossil fuel prices for consumers to stay high forever. Saying such a thing may seem tone deaf. Millions of households in rich countries are facing a choice between heating and eating. In...

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — “Adulting” was not going great for Tia Freeman. She had lost her scholarship at the University of Tennessee and enlisted in the Air Force. As she finished training to be an analyst, she got pregnant despite being on birth control. Both her parents worked, so the child care they could provide was limited. Day care would have eaten most of her paycheck. And even at age 20, Freeman knew that as a Black woman she would have more difficulty climbing the economic ladder than some other women would. So she had an abortion. “I’m at the bottom...
  • Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul Calls Pro-Lifers ‘Neanderthals’ After 20-Plus Violent Attacks On Pro-Life Centers

    Following a slew of violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) is inexplicably amping up the rhetoric against pro-lifers, calling them “neanderthals.” Hochul on Monday signed legislation to boost abortion “rights” and “empower” abortion providers in the Empire State. “This is the United States of America, where freedom and liberty are supposed to mean something,” the Democrat said. “It’s the rock upon which we were founded. It is supposed to mean something. Except in the eyes of some neanderthals who say, women are not entitled to those rights.” Earlier this month, a pro-life pregnancy center...
