HOLLAND - Dutch citizens have rejected the ushering in of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Great Reset” agenda in their nation and have risen up and toppled their government. The Davos elite suffered a major defeat on Friday, resulting in the sudden and complete collapse of WEF Young Global Leader Mark Rutte’s government. Rutte’s coalition government collapsed on Friday after just over a year in office, following a massive rebellion by the people of the Netherlands over the WEF’s Great Reset agenda.

HOLLAND - A biologically male transgender model was crowned as ‘Miss Netherlands’ and will compete for the title of Miss Universe later this year in El Salvador. Rikkie Kolle, a 22-year-old model, has been selected as Miss Netherlands 2023, the first biological male to win the historically female competition. The decision to elect a biological male as Miss Netherlands has drawn criticism on social media. Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek wrote on Twitter: “A man just won ‘Miss Netherlands’ 2023.” “Considering the fact that we live in a post-truth world, I wasn’t even expecting anything else. It’s all so predictable and unoriginal at this point.”

USA - Huge swathes of the Northeast are bracing for more catastrophic flooding on Monday after deadly downpours dumped more than eight inches of rain, wiping out entire roads and killing at least one person in a storm that may rival 2011's Hurricane Irene. In upstate New York, roads across the Hudson Valley were waterlogged Sunday - and some wiped away entirely - by the floods. Today, the torrential rain will continue in some parts of upstate New York. Downpours are also expected in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. This morning, 25 million Americans are under flash flood alerts. One woman drowned yesterday in Highland Falls, Westchester, as she tried to leave her home. The town sits on the banks of the Hudson river, just south of West Point - another of the worst hit towns, which is home to the US Military Academy.

UK - An unsettling trend of disregard for biblical inerrancy and authority has swept through the modern church, ushering in an era of half-hearted fidelity to the Word of God. Popular false teachers like Andy Stanley, who spends the majority of his time belittling the Scriptures and caving to the demands of the modern pagan culture, have paved the way for the erosion of Scripture’s absolute authority. By asserting that Christians should be “unhitched” from the Old Testament and that our faith does not hinge on belief in the Word of God, Stanley departs from the historic view of scriptural inerrancy. It is an alarming departure, demonstrating a clear dilution of the inviolable truth of the Bible.

A "Terf" is a “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist: an advocate of radical feminism who believes that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate and who is hostile to the inclusion of trans people and gender-diverse people in the feminist movement.”

GERMANY - Voter discontent with Germany's coalition government has reached a high point. The far-right populists are the only opposition party to benefit from this trend, according to the latest Deutschlandtrend survey. There's evidence of a political shift in Germany: The Alternative for Germany (AfD), parts of which are considered right-wing extremists, managed two unprecedented local election victories in the country's east and now fields a district administrator and a mayor for the first time. And in the eastern state of Thuringia, polls recently put the AfD at 34%, way ahead of all other parties.

POLAND - ‘If you want to have good relations with the Russians,’ a senior figure in the Polish government told me yesterday on a brief visit to Warsaw, ‘then you have to be ready to fight them. And you have to be equipped to win.’ Ever since Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine almost 17 months ago, Poland, which shares a 330-mile border with Ukraine and a 250-mile one with the Kremlin’s client state, Belarus, has been steadfast in implementing both these pieces of Realpolitik wisdom. The scale of Polish rearmament is breathtaking, leaving much bigger NATO allies such as France, Britain and Germany behind in its wake.

SWITZERLAND - A panel of AI-enabled humanoid robots told a United Nations summit on Friday that they could eventually run the world better than humans. But the social robots said they felt humans should proceed with caution when embracing the rapidly-developing potential of artificial intelligence. And they admitted that they cannot - yet - get a proper grip on human emotions. Some of the most advanced humanoid robots were at the UN's two-day AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva.

RUSSIA - The gold market could see new bullish momentum as the world could see a new type of gold standard. Friday, according to state-run RT, the Russian government has confirmed that Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, also known as BRICS nations, will introduce a new trading currency backed by gold. The official announcement is expected to be made during the BRICS summit in August in South Africa.

USA - One of the big questions that those of us involved in exposing the secret US government censorship effort have been asking ourselves over the last few months is: did the people involved know that they were breaking the law? That question appears to have been answered with a resounding yes by the House Judiciary Committee. Yesterday it released its report, "The Weaponization of CISA: How a 'Cybersecurity' Agency Colluded with Big Tech and 'Disinformation' Partners to Censor Americans,” on government censorship.

USA - The United States, and indeed the whole world, is in a battle for truth. If we are defeated in this monumental conflict, the consequences will be catastrophic. Politicians pontificate. Educators indoctrinate. Scientists and psychologists capitulate to woke ideology about gender and sexuality. Many news agencies are producing propaganda. Potential employees alter their credentials to get jobs. And many pastors are reluctant to preach the whole counsel of God for fear of some kind of ecclesiastical retribution, congregational exodus or governmental intrusion. Russian chess grand master Garry Kasparov said, “The point of modern propaganda is to misinform, push an agenda and to exhaust your critical thinking so as to annihilate truth.”

UK - The archbishop of York has suggested that opening words of the Lord’s Prayer, recited by Christians all over the world for 2,000 years, may be “problematic” because of their patriarchal association. In his opening address to a meeting of the Church of England’s ruling body, the General Synod, Stephen Cottrell dwelt on the words “Our Father”, the start of the prayer based on Matthew 6:9–13 and Luke 11:2–4 in the New Testament. “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have laboured rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” he said.

CHINA - China‘s People’s Liberation Army is developing high-technology weapons designed to disrupt brain functions and influence government leaders or entire populations, according to a report by three open-source intelligence analysts. The weapons can be used to directly attack or control brains using microwave or other directed energy weapons in handheld guns or larger weapons firing electromagnetic beams, adding that the danger of China‘s brain warfare weapons prior to or during a conflict is no longer theoretical.

CHINA - Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to improve its combat readiness in order to be able to “win any war,” after meeting with the military command responsible for operations in the Taiwan Strait. Speaking to soldiers at the PLA’s Eastern Theater Command headquarters in Nanjing on Thursday, Xi hailed their “significant contributions” in safeguarding China’s sovereignty and urged for “vigilance against potential dangers.” “It is imperative for us to deepen planning on war and combat, upgrade the joint system of theater commands, focus on actual combat training and improve our ability to win any war,” the president said following an inspection of the command headquarters.

UK - The ocean surrounding the British Isles is experiencing a marine heatwave described as "one of the most severe on Earth." Whilst we've had warm weather on land recently, with temperatures set to exceed 20C in parts of Wales this weekend, off the coast the situation is more bleak. Oceans have reached 5C above normal temperatures and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says this will have a significant impact on marine life and coastal communities.
