But in academic circles, some have begun to argue that pedophilia should be considered just another sexual orientation, not a mental disorder. And a therapist who treats pedophiles told The Epoch Times that he believes pedophilia is on its way to becoming normalized.

The rules appear to be unpopular with some local farmers and political officials. Erich Gussen, vice president of the Rhenish Agricultural Association, warned that the new regulations would mean a lower quality of crop, hinting that farmers would not accept the rules without a fight. “There is great indignation among the farmers, which really upsets us!” he told German outlet Bild on Thursday.

“If a wheat field needs 200 kg of fertilizer for optimal yield, farmers would now be forced to use 40 kg less. That means a drop in yield and the quality of the wheat will suffer!” Gussen explained.

Why did the LLM lie by omission and not show Americans what was going on when the entire world covered this conference? Newman, who attended COP27, contends, “This is an incredibly significant story, and anywhere else in the world you would have seen very extensive coverage in the press, in the fake news media as we call it. There were thousands of journalists there. I call them the cheerleading section from all over the world. Conspicuously absent, though, was the American media… If Americans knew what was going on… they would put a stop to it almost immediately."

So, there was almost total radio silence in the US. This was very, very significant because you had 125 prime ministers, kings, dictators and presidents, including Joe Biden, show up. It was just Americans that were kept totally in the dark about this. This was the most significant thing going on in the world until the G-20 started… There were world leaders from all over the planet. We are talking about wealth redistribution.

It is more than a money issue. Newman says it is really a freedom issue. Newman explains, “They are very clear about using the WHO (World Health Organization), the climate change process… all these different arms getting together to take down freedom around the world and ultimately take down the American system of government.

So will this trend continue once we get into 2023? As you read this article, the two biggest volcanoes in Hawaii are simultaneously erupting for the very first time since 1984… Kilauea has been active for a while, but we haven’t seen Mauna Loa erupt in decades. But what is concerning authorities is not just the fact that it is erupting. The violence with which it has exploded has caught everyone off guard. It is being reported that it was sending boiling hot lava 148 feet into the air on Tuesday…

Meanwhile, a giant volcano in Indonesia just erupted as well. On Sunday, Mount Semeru sent clouds of extremely hot ash a mile into the sky… Indonesia’s Mount Semeru erupted Sunday spewing hot ash clouds a mile high and rivers of lava down its side while triggering the evacuation of nearly 2,000 people exactly one year after its last major eruption killed dozens.

So will we see even more extremely alarming seismic activity in the weeks ahead? I will definitely be watching developments very closely. The giant rock that we all live on is showing more signs of instability, and I fully expect that this trend will continue to accelerate in 2023.

Despite receiving backlash from parents, the teacher doubled down on the sexually explicit library in a video she shared on November 21, Fox News reported. “People get really mad about my queer library. I have like 200 titles that are specific to the LGBT community that I’ve been curating for over eight years,” Flint said in a video, according to Fox News. “Don’t get me wrong, my students love that library. It has been very helpful for many students figuring out who they are, how to relate to their peers,” she added.

“In the past 24 hours, Twitter started to step up its efforts and took down 44,000 suspicious accounts, including over 1,300 profiles that tried to bypass detection using codewords and text in images to communicate. Zero tolerance,” said Ghost Data founder Andrea Stoppa, who has been monitoring this, in a tweet.

“Twitter is now fighting vigorously against child sexual exploitation content, it’s thanks to one person that set it as the #1 priority: Elon Musk,” she tweeted. “It is true,” Musk said, “Twitter has done more to stop child exploitation in the last month than probably the last 10 years. That’s insane. It kind of blows my mind, frankly.” Long before Musk took control, Twitter knew it had a massive child porn problem on its hands but was doing little to stamp it out.

All of this puts the attacks on Musk in a new light. After he took over the social media platform, the left freaked out that he wouldn’t do enough to censor “misinformation,” and 50 major corporations pulled their ads. Apparently, silencing conservatives is more important to them than protecting children.

Germany, Scholz writes, is “doing everything it can to defend and foster an international order based on the principles of the UN Charter.” As part of this effort, “Germans are intent on becoming the guarantor of European security that our allies expect us to be, a bridge builder within the European Union,” he explains. According to the chancellor, this is the only way Berlin can “successfully navigate the geopolitical rifts of our time.”

Scholz argues that Germany’s own history gives it a “special responsibility to fight the forces of fascism, authoritarianism, and imperialism.” At the same time, as a nation that was split in half for decades in the 20th century, Germany is well aware of the “risks of a new cold war.”

However, with what Scholz describes as an increasingly “revanchist” and “imperialistic” Russia as its neighbor, the EU now needs a fundamentally different approach toward defense. For this reason, Germany’s own military strategy now centers on the “threats we and our allies must confront in Europe, most immediately from Russia,” the chancellor states.

DER SPIEGEL: Professor Roubini, you don't like your nickname "Dr Doom." Instead you would like to be called "Dr Realist." But in your new book, you describe "ten megathreats" that endanger our future. It doesn’t get much gloomier than that.

Roubini: The threats I write about are real – no one would deny that. I grew up in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. Back then, I never worried about a war between great powers or a nuclear winter, as we had détente between the Soviet Union and the West. I never heard the words climate change or global pandemic. And no one worried about robots taking over most jobs. We had freer trade and globalization, we lived in stable democracies, even if they were not perfect. Debt was very low, the population wasn’t over-aged, there were no unfunded liabilities from the pension and health care systems. That's the world I grew up in. And now I have to worry about all these things – and so does everyone else.

DER SPIEGEL: Politicians seem overwhelmed by the simultaneity of many major crises. What priorities should they set?

Roubini: Of course, they must take care of Russia and Ukraine before they take care of Iran and Israel or China. But policymakers should also think about inflation and recessions, ie stagflation. The eurozone is already in a recession, and I think it will be long and ugly. The United Kingdom is even worse. The pandemic seems contained, but new COVID variants could emerge soon. And climate change is a slow-motion disaster that is accelerating. For each of the 10 threats I describe in my book, I can give you 10 examples that are happening as we speak today, not in the distant future.

The main agenda item for the WEF’s 53rd Davos 2023 confab running from January 16-20 is called “Cooperation in a Fragmented World,” citing the Ukraine conflict, the COVID-19 fallout, rising energy and food costs, and rampant inflation as factors pushing the world towards “uncertainty and fragility.”

The WEF claims these problems can be solved with a centralized global system of control, “particularly in the context of the meta trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and climate change.” The WEF lists 5 topics that will be addressed at the Davos summit: energy/food crisis, inflation, private sector innovation, “social vulnerabilities,” and the geopolitical risks of a “multipolar world.”

Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine and the coronavirus lockdowns have driven up the price of food, energy and fuel this year. The NFU warned yields of energy-intensive crops like tomatoes, cucumbers and pears are likely to hit their lowest level this year since records began in 1985, while milk prices are likely to fall below the cost of production and beef farmers consider reducing the number of cows they breed.

Union president Minette Batters told the BBC that egg shortages caused by Britain's worst ever outbreak of bird flu and the culling of huge numbers of hens 'could just be the start'. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) insists that Britain has a high degree of food security which is 'built on supply from diverse sources', including strong domestic production as well as imports through stable trade routes.

Ready meals, ice cream, sausages, deep-fried chicken and ketchup are some of the best-loved examples. While processed foods have usually only undergone a simple level of processing, for example salt curing, ultraprocessed foods usually involve things people would not do when cooking at home, like adding chemicals.

Ready meals, ice cream, sausages, deep-fried chicken and ketchup are some of the best-loved examples. They are different to processed foods, which are processed to make them last longer or enhance their taste, such as cured meat, cheese and fresh bread. Ultra-processed foods, such as sausages, cereals, biscuits and fizzy drinks, are formulations made mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods and additives.

They contain little or no unprocessed or minimally processed foods, such as fruit, vegetables, seeds and eggs. The foods are usually packed with sugars, oils, fats and salt, as well as additives, such as preservatives, antioxidants and stabilisers.

They are the least healthy group that have been linked to a host of diseases, not least because they are more calorie-dense than their less processed counterparts. Unprocessed food is the most nutritious of the lot, with vitamins and minerals unimpaired by processing.

Jenny DeMarco, communications director for Virginians for Safe Technology, said in a press release:“Dominion has crossed a line. When families taking reasonable steps to protect themselves and their children have their power cut off in the middle of November, local police and sheriff’s departments are escorting the corporation doing so, and the government and regulatory agencies stand idly by, that’s a pretty strong signal that our system is broken.” It’s not just broken. It’s been hijacked.

Milton Williams posted a video on YouTube on November 8 showing letters from Dominion threatening to shut off his family’s electricity of he did not allow the utility to install a smart meter in his home. Electricity was shut off November 10, and remains off.

The organisation also faced backlash after promoting potentially dangerous 'chest-binding', which can flatten and constrict the breasts, for children. Other concerns were raised about alleged racism and Ms Green's avoidant response to scandals. Safeguarding issues were also highlighted after a trustee addressed a conference hosted by organisation that promotes services to paedophiles.
