FRANCE - French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said overnight chaos has resulted in 2,000 cars burned, 500 buildings damaged, hundreds of businesses looted, and violent clashes with police. He said over 800 people were arrested, with nearly 250 officers injured. Earlier, Macron blamed social media for fueling 'copycat violence,' and said state agencies would ask Twitter, Snapchat, and Tiktok to ban the most "sensitive content." Riots and vandalism continued throughout the day Friday. Darmanin said buses and trams would be shut down by 9 pm local time nationwide to suppress the overnight unrest. The police killing of a 17-year-old during a traffic stop on Tuesday has unleashed three consecutive days of social unrest across France. Bloomberg reports more than 600 people were arrested Thursday night into Friday, with a majority of them between the ages of 14 and 18.
USA - Diet-related disease — which includes obesity, heart attack, strokes, cancer, and dementia — is the leading cause of early death in the UK. Driving it is a set of industrially processed products that are sold as food, known formally as ultra-processed food (UPF). This type of food is usually wrapped in plastic and has additives that you won’t find in a typical kitchen. In the US and the UK, we get on average 60 percent of our calories from UPF products like pizza, bread, breakfast cereals, biscuits, and nutritional drinks. They’re often sold as healthy options, but it’s just a way of turning our ill health into money.
USA - When Yevgeny Prigozhin launched his short-lived rebellion, many in the western media were describing it as a “coup”. But the truth is that Prigozhin did not intend to try to overthrow Vladimir Putin. He just wanted his seat at the table back. Being in Vladimir Putin’s good graces had turned Prigozhin into an exceedingly wealthy man over the years, but now everything was changing. Prigozhin was in danger of losing everything that he had worked to build, and the final straw was a decision to break up the Wagner Group and absorb those troops into the Russian military. Prigozhin realized that he was being sidelined, and so in a desperate attempt to get some leverage he hatched an ill-fated plan to kidnap Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov. Unfortunately for Prigozhin, they learned of his scheme in advance, and their travel plans were changed. When he realized that his scheme had failed, Prigozhin was willing to make a deal, because ultimately he didn’t want to see his fighters slaughtered in a pointless conflict.
USA - Hollywood elites demand big tech censor Americans for acknowledging biological sex. Over 250 celebrities in film, music and other industries signed an open letter to pressure social media companies to censor certain speech regarding transgender individuals and the transgender movement. Figures such as Alyssa Milano, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and many more signed the letter arranged by GLAAD (formerly Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which they sent to the CEOs of Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter. Among other things, the letter takes issue with “misgendering,” or referring to a person by their biological sex rather than their preferred gender, and “deadnaming,” which is calling a person by their birth name rather than their preferred name. “Targeted misgendering and deadnaming of trans and nonbinary people is a widespread mode of hate speech across all platforms, utilized to bully and harass prominent public figures while simultaneously expressing hatred and contempt,” the letter states.
FRANCE - Emmanuel Macron went to an Elton John concert the day after the fatal shooting of a teenager, which has sparked three days of violence in France. The French president was filmed at Paris’ Accor Arena for the British singer’s farewell tour on Wednesday night, the second evening of riots after the killing of Nahel M. France deployed 40,000 officers around the country on Thursday, as anger over the police shooting of the 17-year-old reached boiling point and a policeman was charged over his death.
USA - The Chinese spy balloon that President Joe Biden allowed to fly over the US earlier this year was reportedly carrying American-made hardware to capture reconnaissance imagery. The Wall Street Journal reported that the multiple federal agencies discovered that the balloon was “crammed with commercially available US gear, some of it for sale online, and interspersed with more specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment to collect photos, video and other information to transmit to China.” The report also said that the spy balloon had large solar panels to power it and that it was able to capture “radar data.” China has threatened the US against making details from its investigation into the balloon public, claiming that they will be forced to respond in a harsh manner. The Biden administration has so far cowered to China’s demands and has not shared details from the investigation with the public, even though the US has a history of doing so with other nations.
USA - A clip of a progressive Lutheran church reciting the “Sparkle Creed,” a version of the Apostle’s Creed modified to emphasize LGBTQ+ inclusion, caused controversy online this week, with critics characterizing it as “idolatry,” “heresy,” and “absolute insanity.” "This is, without qualification, idolatry,” tweeted pastor and podcaster Patrick Miller. “It is liturgical malpractice."
USA - Ken Ham, Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and its Ark Encounter attraction, announced July 18, 2017, that the ark replica will be permanently illuminated with rainbow lights at night. Ken Ham, CEO and founder of The Ark Encounter in northern Kentucky, said they have set up permanent rainbow lights “to remind the world that God owns it, and He decreed it’s a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood… Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do at The Ark Encounter.”
USA - An artificial sweetener added to thousands of fizzy drinks, chewing gums and low-calorie foods will be declared a potential cancer risk, a bombshell report claimed today. Aspartame is set to be listed as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans' in a World Health Organization reclassification, according to insiders. It follows a major safety review into the artificial sugar replacement involving 1,300 studies. The move will send shockwaves through the global food manufacturing market, with some of the world's best-loved brands affected. A huge push to crackdown on sugar over the past few decades has led to the mass usage of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Since 1981, the JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits.
SWEDEN - Sweden has just dealt a severe blow to the globalist climate agenda by scraping its green energy targets. In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.” Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements. Instead, the Swedish Government is shifting back to nuclear power and has ditched its targets for a “100% renewable energy” supply. The Swedish people wish to “ground their economy in an energy source, nuclear, that is physically sound and secure, unlike renewables which are neither,” he explains. Other world governments are continuing “to live in a fantasy” about meeting the green agenda goals, Constable added. “But we are coming to the end of the green dream.” The move is a major blow to unreliable and inefficient technology.
SWEDEN - An Iraqi man filled a Koran with bacon and burned it in Stockholm on Wednesday, an event that has angered Turkey as Sweden bids to join NATO. The inflammatory stunt was carried out by two men outside the city's main mosque on the first day of the Muslim three-day Eid al-Adha holiday. Some 200 onlookers witnessed one of the two organisers - Salwan Momika - tearing up pages of a copy of the Koran and wiping his shoes with it before putting bacon in it and setting the book on fire, whilst the other protester spoke into a megaphone. Some of those present shouted 'God is great' in Arabic to protest against the burning, and one man was detained by police after he attempted to throw a rock. A supporter of the demonstration shouted 'let it burn' as the holy book caught on fire. It came after police approved a request to allow the man to go ahead with the action.
TAIWAN - Taipei has warned Beijing that any military assets that enter its ‘territorial airspace’ will be shot at. Taiwan has repeated its stance that it would destroy any Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft or vessels if they were to enter a 12 nautical mile zone around the island, Taipei’s military leadership said on Tuesday. “If the PLA side continues to ignore our warnings along the way and force their way into our territorial air space and seas, we will actively strike back to safeguard national security,” Major General Lin Wen-huang, a planning administrator at Taipei’s Ministry of National Defense (MND), said on Tuesday in comments carried by Taiwan’s Central News Agency.
HUNGARY - Europe is moving closer to “catastrophe in every sense,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto declared on Monday, before extending Budapest’s veto on EU arms transfers to Ukraine. “Europe is moving closer to a catastrophe - in every sense, unfortunately,” Szijjarto wrote on Facebook before meeting with EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday. “Now even bigger trouble could be prevented and many thousands of lives could be saved,” he continued, “but to do this one would have to break out of the war psychosis.”
UK - The British Conservative party may be hopelessly behind in the polls, yet all over Europe the right is surging ahead. Everywhere you look, the left is losing – in Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Hungary and now, following an election victory for the New Democracy party on Sunday, Greece. In Italy, already blessed with a large majority, Giorgia Meloni will benefit further from the death of Silvio Berlusconi
