It has no historical or ethnic past.Dr. Alex Grobman May 11 2023 In a speech delivered in March 2023 in France, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich asserted that "the Palestinian people are an invention that is less than 100 years old.” He is a Palestinian he said.

Governments must introduce measures to reduce the public’s standard of living by a staggering 75 percent, using force if necessary, globalist corporate media outlets are now warning. The public must take drastic measures to reduce individuals’ so-called “carbon footprint” to stop “global warming,” according to the BBC. In its “Future World” series, the BBC warns viewers that choosing to live an “ultra-low carbon lifestyle” is no longer an option and calls for the standards to be mandated by governments.

The Italian government of Giorgia Meloni is reportedly preparing to leave Communist China’s Belt and Road global domination scheme within the coming months. In 2019, under the stewardship of then-technocratic Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Italy became the first, and so far only, G7 nation to sign up to Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative, which Beijing uses to ensnare nations throughout the world under its boot through debt trap diplomacy tactics. Now the populist-minded government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces a decision on Italy’s continued participation in the Chinese scheme, with the country’s membership set to automatically renew itself...

CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy revealed Wednesday evening that CNN was “facing a fury of criticism” within the company following its controversial town hall with former President Donald Trump. “It’s hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN Wednesday evening,” wrote Darcy in CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter. While he praised the “tough and knowledgable” CNN host Kaitlan Collins for her attempts at fact-checking Trump’s remarks, Darcy said Collins was given “an impossible task” and “put in an uncomfortable position,” given that the audience was comprised of Republicans who mostly applauded the...

VIDEOIt was most definitely the WORST day of CNN's Kaitlan Collins life. I guess she wasn't satisfied with just being the MODERATOR of the President Trump town hall in New Hampshire. Instead she (and her CNN puppetmasters) decided to turn her into a vicious debate OPPONENT of Trump. Wrong move. In this video you can see highlights the Collins disaster for yourselves. Her annoying interjections were so frequent and mindless it reminded me of Robby the Robot overloading because she couldn't handle the information presented by Trump. So horrible was Collins' pathetic performance that even her fellow liberals judged it...

That rapidly growing wind power development kills birds in ever increasing numbers is clear. That it also kills whales and other marine mammals is becoming clear. So the policy question is how much killing is enough, before we stop killing more? This question seems not to be asked. The stampede to build huge amounts of wind power, on land and at sea, is potentially devastating to a great many species. Our focus has been on the growing threat to whales and other marine mammals from offshore industrial wind. But this is just part of a much deeper pattern of runaway...
