Vladimir Putin set up Tucker Carlson by murdering Alexis Navalny just days after Tucker‘s controversial visit to Moscow and interview. That’s what happens when a scorpion rides on your back – it’s going to sting you to death even if it’s riding you across the river and will end up drowning itself, too. But the frenzy over Tucker Carlson‘s visit is still massively overblown, and the intensity of it by the ruling class is less an indication of righteous indignation than an attempt to distract from modern America’s shortcomings. Tucker Carlson is not correct in all his details, but Tucker...

A Ukrainian “coup” in 2015 that ousted the country’s pro-Moscow president put Russian and Ukraine on the path to war, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a much-touted interview with conservative pundit Tucker Carlson released Thursday. The Russian president in the two-hour interview also said peace talks with Ukraine early in the conflict had been “almost finalized” in 2022 before the U.S. and its European allies blocked further progress. ... Peace negotiations were “almost finalized after we withdrew our troops from Kyiv, but then the other side threw away all the agreement and obeyed the instructions of European countries and...

In the past two years, there has been a notable surge in the number of cardiac arrest cases in Victoria, Australia. From 2021 to 2022, cases increased by 5.8 percent compared to the previous year, reaching a historical high. These numbers have sparked public concerns about the potential side effects of vaccines.(PeopleImages.com - Yuri A/Shutterstock)According to the annual report from the Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry, 6,934 cases were recorded from 2020 to 2021, representing a 2.5 percent increase compared to the previous year and marking the highest number of cardiac arrest events in the state at that time.

Last year I wrote this about the shameful persecution of Cardinal Geroge Pell by police in Victorian courts in Melboiurne Australia: " Cardinal George Pell conducted a mass and was thrown into jail for over 400 days under the state government of Australian Labor Party Socialist Left faction member Daniel Andrews. The High Court Of Australia overturned the conviction of Cardinal Pell 7-0. When I demanded an apology from police because I was appalled by what they did to Pell, they did not reply. This is not a free country. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, it is “off the...

If there’s one thing we can say about Joe Biden it’s that he’s a boastful jerk who can’t keep his mouth shut. Over the years, Dems and the media have tried to spin Joe’s arrogance into endearing “gaffes.” Let’s be clear — Joe is not a lovable guy who occasionally misspeaks; he’s an arrogant loudmouth who believes he’s better than everyone else. This character flaw has landed him in hot water multiple times. His blend of pathological lying, rude comments, and excessive bragging always backfires on him. Case in point: his on-camera boast about successfully pressuring Ukraine to fire Prosecutor...

Victoria Police officers have been accused of racial profiling, with a damning report showing they disproportionately targeted people of non-Anglo appearance during the pandemic. African, Middle Eastern and First Nations people were up to four times more likely to be fined for COVID-19 breaches when considering their share of the state’s population. More than 37,000 fines were issued for COVID-related offences in 2020, with at least 28,000 including details of the person’s perceived racial appearance, according to data from Inner Melbourne Community Legal released on Tuesday. More than 20 percent were issued to people of African and Middle Eastern appearance,...

Garlic might not just be good for keeping vampires away, but also COVID-19 and the common flu, according to new research being released on Wednesday by The Peter Doherty Institute. Scientists at Doherty have been researching garlic properties over the past 18 months and have discovered a certain Australian grown garlic variety demonstrates antiviral properties with up to 99.9 per cent efficacy against the viruses which cause COVID-19 and the common flu. The world-first research, commissioned by the Australian Garlic Producers organisation, involved in-vitro testing against the SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza type A viruses, using garlic ingredients extracted from exclusive Australian...

A woman has been found after she went missing for five days in the Victorian, Australia bushland with nothing but “a couple of snacks” and her “common sense”. Lillian, 48, set off on what was meant to be a short day trip on Sunday, traveling through the dense bushland at Bright in Victoria’s High Country. Incredible footage has revealed the moment she was found by emergency services on Friday during a search of the hilly terrain, after her car was spotted at the end of a dirt road in the Mitta Mitta bushland. Lillian had been driving towards Dartmouth Dam...

Ana Ntouni does not want her own or anyone else's children to be taught gender fluidity or any other PC crap in the schools of the corrupt Socialist Left government of the Australian State Of Victoria. So she is running for parliament with the Freedom Party. God Bless Ana. God Bless Freedom. Please pray for her

Anastacia and Angelique are proud Greek supporters and candidates of Freedom Party leader Morgan C Jonas. Their party is small and they are young and new to politics. But their hearts are pure and their hands are clean. Please pray for them.

Anastacia Ntouni and Angelique are Greek-Australian Freedom Party candidates for the lower house of Victoria's state parliament in next months's election. They do not want any more of a government which: A. imprisons people in their own homes for the bogus excuse of public health safety. B. abuses human rights. C. lets teachers teach gender fluidity to small children. Women like this are both profoundly conservative custodians of the Greek democratic culture and radical revolutionaries opposing despotism. God Bless Freedom.

Loot, a despicable word, was evidently among the first few Hindustani expressions to enter the British lexicon. It aptly illustrates the brand of British colonisation like no other word. On a chilly evening in the first week of December in 1862, British Empire’s railway engineer E.B. Harris reached a small riverside market village called Sultanganj on the south bank of Ganges some twenty miles west of Bhagalpur. Here his 4,771 workers were excavating a vast mound of bricks on the hillside to build a railway yard. Harris, recognised among the railway engineers for the construction of the challenging Jamalpur tunnel,...

Conflicting timeline reports and identical language used by numerous officers in separate reports raise questions.. A 104-page report issued three months after the events at the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021, said the Capitol Police’s Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU) was ordered by supervisors not to use “heavier, less-lethal weapons,” like flash bangs. However, video evidence—along with Capitol Police Use of Force Reports obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times—exposes conflicts in timelines, the brutality of the unprovoked attacks against Jan. 6 protesters, and how leadership ordered the deployment of munitions on a peaceful crowd. The Video Evidence.. Victoria White.. According...

The State of Victoria's remaining COVID-19 restrictions won't be easing before October, as Premier Daniel Andrews extends the state's pandemic declaration. The move will enable the state government to implement COVID-19 related measures deemed necessary to protect public health. The orders will be effective until 11.59pm on Wednesday, October 12.

"I am satisfied on reasonable grounds that there continues to be a serious risk to public health throughout Victoria due to the coronavirus disease which requires continued public health...

I am a regular protestor on Saturdays in Melbourne. Every week one to two thousand people deeply committed to freedom take to the streets to demand that justice replace the insane lockdown and mandate culture that has engulfed Australia and is at its worst in Victoria under a Socialist Left state government. Large numbers of police are present and they sometimes have to deal with infiltrators who try to start trouble. I have personally witnessed physical attacks by police on innocent people on Melbourne's streets. I have been the victim of bullying and perjury by the police in my home,...

...On Friday, Horgan said he hoped any potential protesters coming to Victoria would instead redirect their efforts to "positive outcomes." "I would just say to those people, goodness me, get a hobby," said Horgan. "Find something else to do with your time." "Ninety-four per cent of adults in British Columbia are vaccinated, so we are spending an awful lot of time with a small group of people who seem to have nothing better to do with their time besides drive around in circles honking their horns," he said.

A deleted web article recovered by The National Pulse reveals that former President Barack Obama spearheaded an agreement leading to the construction of biolabs handling “especially dangerous pathogens” in Ukraine. The news comes on the same day that Biden regime apparatchik Victoria Nuland told the U.S. Senate that the American government is concerned about biological research facilities falling into Russian hands as a result of the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked Nuland if Ukraine has any "chemical or biological weapons." The Russian military on Tuesday claimed that Ukraine hosts a "network of more than 30 biological laboratories"... Nuland confirmed that Ukraine has biological research facilities... "We are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach,"
