USA - New York City pharmaceutical heiress Annabella Rockwell is claiming that her mother paid a $300-a-day "deprogrammer" after believing her daughter had been "brainwashed" by attending an all-female elite liberal college that left the young woman "totally indoctrinated" and estranged from the parents who raised her. "I left school very anxious, very nervous, very depressed and sad," Rockwell, now 29, recently told the New York Post. "I saw everything through the lens of oppression and bias and victimhood. I came to the school as someone who saw everyone equally. I left looking for injustice wherever I could and automatically assuming that all White men were sexist. My thoughts were no longer my own."

GERMANY - Soaring energy prices driven by sanctions on Russian oil and gas are not even the primary factor behind German reluctance to help Ukraine in the ongoing conflict, according to a recent poll conducted by the Washington Post. Instead, the outlet found that a general aversion to military intervention – which took hold after the country’s defeat in World War II is behind the mood. While the vast majority – 91% – of German respondents expressed sympathy for Ukraine, more than half (54%) said their country was doing either enough (37%) or too much (17%) in terms of military and humanitarian aid, according to the poll.

ISRAEL - “The high level of violence in the occupied West Bank and Israel in recent months including attacks against Israeli and Palestinian civilians,” Wennesland says, “have caused grave human suffering.” “The targeting of civilians can never be justified and the violence must stop,” Wennesland says at a Security Council briefing, calling for a return to a political process for a resolution to the conflict. He condemns the recent terror attacks in Jerusalem and Ariel, as well as settler violence against Palestinians in Hebron. He warns that “demography is moving faster than politics,” and that the rapid population growth in Gaza and the West Bank will make it “increasingly difficult” to manage the conflict.

ISRAEL - The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group threatens the life of far-right Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir, who responds by promising to crush the terror group. Islamic Jihad warns that Ben Gvir’s “fate will be the same as that of Rehavam Ze’evi, the proponent of transfer.” Ze’evi, who advocated for the transfer of Arabs out of Israel, was assassinated by Palestinian terrorists in 2001 while serving as tourism minister. In response, Ben Gvir says that the “threats of a terror organization won’t deter me. We are determined to restore security to Israel.” Ben Gvir calls for the immediate establishment of a right-wing government so that “we can crush the Islamic Jihad.”

USA - ‘Please DO NOT listen to what I’m going to say next: “I would get out of paper assets.” The world economy is not a “Market.” I believe the economy is the biggest bubble in world history. God have mercy on us all.” Those are the latest words of caution from Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” who has shared some grim warnings about the health of the markets and economy over the years. Kiyosaki’s comments on Friday came as many economists are predicting a recession in 2023 for the US economy after a series of interest-rate increases implemented by the Federal Reserve to combat a surge in inflation.

HAWAII - Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, has erupted for the first time in 38 years. The flare-up comes after it had reportedly been in a state of “heightened arrest” since September. Dramatic US Geological Survey footage has captured lava at the northwest rim of the Hawaiian volcano. Officials have warned: “Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa eruption can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly. "If the eruption remains in Moku'āweoweo, lava flows will most likely be confined within the caldera walls.

USA - “Gaslighting”, the practice of manipulating a person to second guess themself, has been named American English dictionary Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.

BRAZIL - A similar tactic Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to crush civil liberties protests. Some Brazilians protesting President Jair Bolsonaro’s defeat are having their bank accounts frozen. The reports come days after the electoral court ordered the blocking of major social media accounts disputing the results. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes is cracking down on those doubting the election results. “Those who by criminal means have been taking part in anti-democratic acts will be treated like criminals,” he said after suspending several key Bolsonaro supporters from social media.

EUROPE - Seventy years after the founding of the forerunner to the European Union, the bloc has done “a lot of damage” to the continent, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) said during a “birthday” event. Legutko, a Plato scholar and professor of philosophy, went on to accuse the body of promulgating a false belief that there is a single European “demos” — that is, a common European nation capable of being properly represented in a single shared assembly — and warned that the body had been used as a vehicle to push leftist ideology without democratic accountability.

CHINA - Protesters pushed to the brink by China’s strict COVID measures in Shanghai called for the removal of the country’s all-powerful leader and clashed with police Sunday as crowds took to the streets in several cities in an astounding challenge to the government. Police forcibly cleared the demonstrators in China’s financial capital who called for Xi Jinping’s resignation and the end of the Chinese Communist Party’s rule — but hours later people rallied again in the same spot, and social media reports indicated protests also spread to at least seven other cities, including the capital of Beijing, and dozens of university campuses.

USA - World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it is working with scientists to develop a new name for the monkeypox virus that will not be “discriminatory and stigmatizing,” an effort to employ “woke” ideals in virology. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of WHO announced in June that the organization was “working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes.” Naming diseases “should be done with the aim to minimize the negative impact and avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,” according to one WHO representative who spoke to Bloomberg.

AUSTRALIA – You can’t make this up! Just when you thought the Covid-deranged establishment medical community couldn’t lose any more credibility, Raymond D Palmer, a self-identified mRNA alchemist from Western Australia, admitted that there are serious risks associated with Covid-19 vaccinations, but he blamed the anti-vaxxers for it. According to Palmer’s research, which was published in the NIH National Library of Medicine and the most recent issue of the peer-reviewed journal BioMedicine (Taipei), the adverse reactions to the vaccine are the result of stress brought on by receiving the vaccine.
