Finland’s parliament has decided the country will proceed with plans for joining NATO alone, dropping the government’s previous stance to join “hand in hand” with Sweden. On Wednesday, March 1st, Finnish MPs voted overwhelmingly to approve the NATO treaties and accession in parliament, with 184 MPs in favour and only 7 against. This ratification of the treaties now places Finland one step ahead of Sweden, and it needs only now to wait for ratification by Hungary and Turkey. While not totally unexpected, fears remain over Finland’s vulnerability against Russia if it joins NATO on its own. “In case of a...

Over a year ago, Project Veritas broke a bombshell story that received little attention. The story can still be found on the website titled “Military Documents About Gain of Function Contradict Fauci Testimony Under Oath.” With the revelations we have now, Dr. Robert Malone decided to unearth it. It tells a story of the US role in the development of coronavirus. Dr. Malone asked Project Veritas for the underlying documents and did receive them. Central to the story is a report to the Department of Defense Inspector General written by U.S. Marine Corp Major Joseph Murphy, a former DARPA Fellow....

Explanation: Venus and Jupiter may have caught your attention lately. The impending close conjunction of the two brightest planets visible in clear evening skies has been hard to miss. With Jupiter at the top, starting on February 21 and ending on March 2, their close approach is chronicled daily, left to right, in these panels recorded from Dhanbad, India. Near the western horizon, the evening sky colors and exposures used for each panel depend on the local conditions near sunset. On February 22, Jupiter and Venus were joined by the young crescent Moon. The celestial pair appeared to be only...

Archbishop Naumann and Bishop Paprocki Speak Out in Support of Traditional Latin Massgoers in Their DiocesesIn the wake of new restrictions on the traditional Latin Mass, two American bishops spoke with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo Thursday about how their dioceses have responded. Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, and Archbishop Joseph Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, both defended the traditional Latin Mass communities within their dioceses during their interviews on The World Over with Raymond Arroyo March 2. Pope Francis issued a motu proprio titled Traditionis Custodes on July 16, 2021, which put heavy restrictions...

Former President Trump plans to attack Bush-era Republicans in his remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday and urge those in attendance to finish the job of transforming the GOP by backing him for the White House in 2024. Trump is expected to deliver CPAC’s keynote address at roughly 5:30 p.m. in remarks that are expected to last roughly 90 minutes. Trump has been a staple of the annual gathering for years, delivering marquee speeches during and after his presidency. The event, this year in National Harbor, Maryland, is now dominated by his most ardent supporters and he is...

On March 2, 2023, the people in control of the Joe Biden administration officially announced that government control of internet content was now an officially a part of the national security apparatus. [White House Link] If you have followed the history of how the Fourth Branch of Government has been created, you will immediately recognize the intent of this new framework. The “National Cybersecurity Strategy” aligns with, supports, and works in concert with a total U.S. surveillance system, where definitions of information are then applied to “cybersecurity” and communication vectors. This policy is both a surveillance system and an information...

Meet “Il Cretino Gloriosamente Regnante”Meet “Il Cretino gloriosamente regnante”, the gloriously reigning cretin. It appears that everybody, literally left, right and centre, hates Francis. Why? Because he is a hateful guy, of course. Petty, vindictive, childish, astonishingly ignorant, lying without shame (“soon, soon!”), and arrogant to the point of comedy, Francis manages to alienate even the Regressives within the Vatican. He has, obviously, brought all this to himself, because I do not know any other public figure enjoying it so much when he angers other people. It’s not only the boorishness, which is very marked in the man. It’s the...

Pope Francis ramps up attacks on the Latin Mass while pro-LGBT clergy continue to defy Church teachingVF was also thrust into the mainstream after heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune Paris Hilton described freezing 20 male embryos in her attempts conceive a girl. On this week’s episode of Faith & Reason, John-Henry Westen, Liz Yore, and Father James Altman discuss Pope Francis’ latest crackdown on traditional religious communities, prelates calling out heretical prelates, and the shocking revelation made by famous socialite Paris Hilton that she has frozen 20 baby boy embryos in her attempts to conceive and give birth to...

Hundreds of tractors driven by angry farmers protesting a plan to cut nitrate levels converged on Brussels on Friday, creating major traffic disruption in Belgium's capital city. The BB farmers union and several others combined efforts to gather more than 2,700 farm vehicles, according to Brussels police. Several major roads in Brussels were closed and police warned that disruptions could last until the end of the day, recommending that people use public transportation instead of personal cars. The Flemish regional government is struggling to find a deal to cut nitrate pollution over farmers’ objections that it would put many out...

He’s not called China Joe for nothing. This is quite a considerable amount of U.S. tech products delivered to blacklisted Chinese companies. It would be interesting to trace the multinational kickbacks to the Biden administration. March 3 (Reuters) – The Biden administration approved 192 licenses worth over $23 billion to ship U.S. goods and technology to Chinese companies on a U.S. trade blacklist in the first quarter of last year, according to a document released by a U.S. congressional committee on Friday. The 192 licenses granted were out of 242 license applications decided between January and March 2022, a chart...

Former Russian commander Igor Girkin floated a "civil war" as a potential solution to Moscow's struggling invasion of Ukraine in a new Telegram post slamming Kremlin military leadership. Girkin's latest remarks come more than a year after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Although Putin initially hoped for a quick victory over Kyiv, which has a smaller military than Russia, Ukraine responded with a stronger-than-anticipated defense effort that has been bolstered by Western military aid, blunting Putin's forces. After months of combat, and a lack of clear progress on Russia's side, some Russian...

Face masks, once an essential Covid-19 protective measure, are now being worn by criminals to conceal their identities, according to New York police who are urging businesses to unmask customers before letting them in stores. The recommendation is a 180-degree turn from mask-wearing norms at the onset of the pandemic. During peak periods of infection, federal agencies mandated mask-wearing in public places, while many businesses required customers to wear them on the premises. Now, however, some businesses are banning customers from entering the premises with face masks on, saying the policy change is needed to identify thieves. And after numerous...

On the eve of the 70th anniversary of Josef Stalin's death, attitudes to the Soviet Union's wartime leader remain mixed in the nations he once ruled with an iron fist. During three decades of dictatorial rule, Stalin oversaw rapid industrialisation and victory over the Nazis but also the deaths of millions in purges, Gulag labour camps and famine. With Russia embroiled in conflict again in Ukraine, in what the Kremlin says is a fresh existential battle for national survival, memories of the Soviet dictator loom large. "Firstly, thank you for the victory (in World War Two)," said 21-year-old Madina in...

The Washington Secretary of State’s Office says state law doesn’t allow it to verify citizenship receiving a voter’s registration. During recent election cycles, the Washington Department of Licensing, or DOL, received numerous reports of foreign nationals being automatically registered to vote in the state, even in cases where they insisted to DOL they were not legally allowed to vote. Some county election agencies have described it as a “rare” occurrence, but it is currently unknown to what extent this problem occurred. In 2018, the state Legislature passed House Bill 2595, which automatically registers people to vote when they are issued...

Pope Francis says Church ‘cannot try to hide’ abuse while he himself is accused of covering for Fr. Rupnik‘It is very hard to take him seriously or believe he is sincere when he has routinely protected and defended known sexual predators like Fr. Marko Rupnik.’In his March prayer intention for abuse victims, Pope Francis has highlighted how “the Church cannot try to hide the tragedy of abuse of any kind,” in remarks which appeared to ignore his own considerable record of alleged coverup for a number of clerical abusers. “In response to cases of abuse, especially to those committed by...

March 4 (UPI) -- China needs to increase its military budget to "fulfill its responsibility as a major country," a Beijing official said Saturday ahead of the nation's annual National People's Congress. NPC spokesman Wang Chao made the comments as China's national legislature prepared to convene on Sunday and meet through March 13. In his remarks, Wang did not elaborate on the size of the budget he was referring to, which is expected to be unveiled during the first official day of the congress, but emphasized the move is not meant to ratchet up conflict with the United States. The...

Google News heavily skewed in favor of left-leaning media outlets—both in the news articles featured on its homepage and in the search results for specific topics—in five of the days leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, according to an AllSides study Google criticized as “deeply flawed” in comments to The Daily Signal. “Imbalanced or heavily biased news search results can have a negative impact on our democracy and elections,” Julie Mastrine, director of marketing and media bias ratings at AllSides, told The Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. “When people cannot access the full range of views on political...
