US schools becoming a ‘cesspool of Marxist indoctrination’
USA - The Republican Party must support governors and school-board members who are fighting to prevent US educational institutions from becoming a “cesspool of Marxist indoctrination,” Senator Marco Rubio has said. “Dangerous academic constructs like critical race theory and radical gender theory are being forced on elementary school children,” Rubio wrote in an article published in the American Conservative magazine on Tuesday.
The party needs to provide “reinforcements” to Republican governors and school-board members who are fighting against such ideas being taught to students, he said. “We need to ensure no federal funding is ever used to promote these radical ideas in schools,” the Florida senator insisted.
Eight in Ten Arrested in Stockholm Are Children As Violent Crime Surges
SWEDEN - A Swedish police officer has claimed that children as young as 14 are being arrested for firearm violence and that eight in ten arrested in Stockholm are under the age of eighteen. Max Åkerwall, deputy commander for firearm violence at the Stockholm police, has claimed that violent crimes involving criminal gangs are being increasingly perpetrated by children under the age of eighteen as gangs recruit younger and younger members.
“Previously, the people were 20-25 years old, in 2022 we have seen that the age creeps down and down. Now we see that they are 14-17 when they commit these crimes,” he added.
The Danger of TikTok
USA - A recent study by psychologists shows that the regular use of social media is linked to changes in the brains of teenagers. This is especially troubling in light of the fact that the most popular social media platform for American teenagers is China’s TikTok, which pushes harmful messaging on teens as soon as they sign up for an account.
The effects of social media on children’s developing brains has long been a topic of concern for parents and policymakers. Now, the New York Times reports that a new study by neuroscientists at the University of North Carolina has shed some light on the issue, using brain scans to track the effects of social media use on middle school students aged 12 to 15, a period of rapid brain development.
‘Population Bomb’ Alarmist Paul Ehrlich Predicts ‘End’ of Civilization Nearing
USA - The next several decades “will be the end of the kind of civilization we’re used to,” according to Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich whose long-held apocalyptic prophecy was recently featured on the most-watched newsmagazine on TV. Appearing on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday, notorious population prophet of doom Paul Ehrlich continued to present his failed theories.
Ehrlich — who has defended mass sterilization, sex-selective abortion, and infanticide — is the author of the infamous 1968 eco-doom bestseller The Population Bomb, which generated mass hysteria over the future of the world and the earth’s ability to sustain human life, yet was demonstrably proved wrong.
In the book, he prophesied that hundreds of millions would starve to death in the 1970s (65 million of whom would be Americans); that already-overpopulated India was doomed; and that odds were fair that “England will not exist in the year 2000.”
Israel ‘Training and Recruiting’ Spy Cows
MIDDLE EAST - The latest Palestinian zoological-related conspiracy theory has Israel outfitting “spy cows” with surveillance equipment to track their movements, according to a piece by the Palestinian Authority’s official daily. Palestinians have in the past accused Israel of sending genetically engineered sharks into Egyptian waters, “super rats” to infest the Muslim Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City, and killer Zionist dolphins off Gaza’s shores to attack Hamas frogmen.
Only last week, Britain’s National Education Union (NEU) rehashed a boar-related conspiracy theory originally disseminated by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who in 2014 insisted that “every night, [Israelis] release wild pigs against us.” There is even a Wikipedia page titled, “Israel-related animal conspiracy theories.”
California is Now a ‘Sanctuary State’ For Transgender Children
USA - California is now a “sanctuary state” for children seeking transgender procedures and medications. The bill was passed in September but went into effect on January 1. California will now “offer refuge” to minors and their families “if they’re being criminalized in their home states” over transgender treatments. Many of these treatments irreversibly sterilize and/or disfigure the patient.
The law says that any potential out-of-state arrest warrant for violating laws related to transgender treatments on children and teens will be given “the lowest law enforcement priority.” “We are going to provide them with refuge and we’re not going to send them back and we’re not going to honor subpoenas,” said Senator Scott Wiener, who authored the bill. “And our law enforcement is not going to enforce the laws of Texas and Alabama criminalizing these families.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, HR 8731, which will criminalize genital mutilation and chemical castration of minor children. The bill states that anyone who “knowingly performs any gender affirming care on a minor is guilty of a class C felony” carrying a penalty of 10 to 25 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. It currently has 37 Republican co-sponsors and would also prohibit using federal funds for sex change treatments.
Cops Killed More People in 2022 than Any Year on Record
USA - As 2023 begins, American police polish off another deadly year, ending 1,176 lives in 2022. This number is a new record for police killings in America and yet still, it is set to increase by one, on average, every 8 hours. Since 2018, cops in America have killed 5,668 citizens. And most people are not saying anything about it.
While it may be easy for some to write off police killings as a problem of American gun culture, this is not the major factor. According to a report by the Institute for Criminal Justice Training Reform (ICJTR), Finland has one the highest gun-ownership rates in Europe, with around 32 civilian firearms per 100 people - but incidents of police shooting civilians are extremely rare.
What's more, as TFTP reported in 2021, the majority of police killings involve calls in which there was no crime or the suspect is only suspected of a non-violent offense. "Most killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported," according to a report from PoliceViolenceReport.org.
Fourth Reich prophecy
RUSSIA - Russia's Medvedev made a list of 10 predictions for 2023 on Twitter. "The Fourth Reich will be created, encompassing the territory of Germany and its satellites, ie, Poland, the Baltic states, Czechia, Slovakia, the Kyiv Republic, and other outcasts," said Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia and a staunch supporter of the war in Ukraine.
Medvedev's revelations relating to the US is that civil war will break out in the coming year. He claimed that California and Texas will break apart from the rest of the country and become independent states. "Texas and Mexico will form an allied state," he claimed.
"The EU will collapse after the UK’s return," he said. "Euro will drop out of use as the former EU currency." Northern Ireland will separate from the UK and join the Republic of Ireland. Alongside his prediction of the formation of the Fourth Reich, Medvedev said, "War will break out between France and the Fourth Reich. Europe will be divided, Poland repartitioned in the process."
PA accuses Israel of trying to build a new temple on Temple Mount
MIDDLE EAST - The PA Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates all issued condemnations against Ben-Gvir's Temple Mount visit. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh accused Israel of trying to turn the Al Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount into the site of a new Jewish temple following Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit to the Jerusalem holy site on Tuesday morning.
Historic Rains in San Francisco Cleansing Feces-Ridden City
USA - In over 99% of cases, flooding inevitably leads to panic over property damage, potential spread of disease, and even death. But for the nation’s filthiest and most amoral city, it counts as a long-overdue and essential bath.The People’s Republic of San Francisco was pounded with over five inches of rain on New Year’s Eve, causing severe flooding across the city. Cars across the city were submerged under the toxic floodwater washing away feces, needles, and homeless tents from the streets and sidewalks.
The flooding proved so overwhelming that it caused sewer geysers to burst in the middle of the roads. A local resident tweeted a video showing multiple ones exploding in one small area. Mudslides also resulted from the historic rainfall. These flowed all the way down from the hills and into renowned areas such as Folsom Street and Precita Park.
While some may find themselves worried at first about the city’s welfare, this is actually the cleanest San Francisco has looked in decades. Remember, visitors currently need an actual map to know where to avoid human waste across the city.
Abortion is leading cause of death worldwide
USA - Statistics reveal that abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide for the fourth year in a row, as the number of abortions nearly quadrupled the number of deaths from infectious diseases in 2022. Worldometer, a database that keeps track of statistics about health, the global population and other metrics in real-time, continuously compiles information about the number of abortions worldwide. The last available snapshot of the Worldometer from 2022, captured on December 31 by the internet archiving tool The Wayback Machine, shows that more than 44 million abortions took place last year.
While Worldometer cites a fact sheet from the World Health Organization as the source for its abortion statistics, the WHO maintains that “around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year.” The global organization characterizes abortion as an essential health service.
DEPOPULATING THE EARTH to Solve “Climate Change”
USA - Leftists when discussing “climate change” generally advocate for less carbon emissions and sometimes eating bugs. But Jane Goodall has a more sinister idea in mind to solve the so-called crisis: fewer human beings. An anonymous Twitter user last Friday uncovered footage of Goodall speaking to the World Economic Forum in 2020.
Here are her full quotes in front of the global elite:
- “We cannot hide away from human population growth. Because it underlies so many of the other problems.”
- “All these things we talk about wouldn’t be a problem if there was the size of population there was 500 years ago”.
The math in the tweet checks out. The current global population stands at 8 billion people. Back in 1500, the population was just under 500 million.
Goodall effectively supports wiping out over 90% of Earth’s population because she’s worried about the Earth heating up a few degrees. Talk about a warped mind and a black heart.
Arguably the most infamous advocate of eugenics, however, is Paul Ehrlich. He has consistently clamored for slashing Earth’s population and now says we are in the midst of a 6th “mass extinction” due to humans using too much of Earth’s resources. He also claimed in his 1968 book “Population Bomb” that hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in the 1970s because Earth’s population had grown too large.
As Jim Hoft points out, however, he has been wrong on everything for six decades. There was no mass starvation in the 1970s and there is no mass extinction event happening now. Still, the corporate press regards him as renowned authority figure on biology.
How autonomous is the European Union?
EUROPE - Member states in the European Union want to act more independently in international politics, an idea supported by the United States. But that's easier said than done. A collective sigh of relief rang out over Berlin and Brussels in November 2022, as the results of the US midterm elections came in: the power shift in Congress toward the Republicans was less dramatic than many had feared and former President Donald Trump took a heavy blow. Under Trump, the trans-Atlantic relationship had hit rock bottom.
The US slowly turning away from Europe, China as an increasingly aggressive world power, and now Putin's Russia, which is invading an independent European country — this is the uncomfortable new geopolitical situation Europeans find themselves in.
The war in Ukraine surprised almost everyone, but the other two developments are by no means new. In response, the term "strategic autonomy" has entered the vernacular. It means that the European Union can act independently from other global political actors militarily, politically, and economically.
The coalition agreement of Germany's three-party government, made in 2021, states: "We want to increase the strategic sovereignty of Europe. …Our goal is a sovereign EU as a strong actor in a world characterized by insecurity and systemic competition."
Temple Mount visit by Ben Gvir
ISRAEL - The United Nations Security Council will convene an emergency session to discuss firebrand National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s visit to Jerusalem’s flashpoint Temple Mount, which drew a flood of international condemnations on Tuesday, a source said Tuesday. A date has not been set for the Security Council meeting — which was formally requested by the United Arab Emirates and China on behalf of the Palestinian and Jordanian UN missions — but it could take place as early as Thursday, a diplomat on the top panel told The Times of Israel.
Ben Gvir, leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, toured the compound Tuesday morning, defiantly touting Israeli control and scorning warnings of a significant backlash. The visit stoked concerns in the Muslim world that Israel’s government would move to change the status quo prohibiting Jewish prayer at the shrine, considered the holiest site in Judaism and third holiest in Islam, despite vows that the regulations will remain in place.
The Security Council meeting on the visit is unlikely to result in any concrete action or even a formal condemnation, but will still serve to highlight the near wall-to-wall disapproval of the visit by Ben Gvir, one of the most radical members of Israel’s new hardline government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has argued that Ben Gvir did not breach the status quo with the visit.
German MP warns against ‘unimaginable escalation’
GERMANY - Berlin has no plans to send modern Western-made tanks to Ukraine, as the risks involved are too high, a German lawmaker said on Monday. Such a move could make NATO a direct party to the conflict between Moscow and Kiev and lead to an escalation, Michael Mueller told Germany’s ARD broadcaster.Berlin will continue to refrain from any “ill-considered unilateral moves,” Mueller, who is a member of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Policy Committee, told ARD’s Morganmagazin show.
“We would only deliver such weapons in coordination with our NATO partners,” he said, adding that the military bloc wants to avoid becoming a direct party to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “That would be in the interests of all of us… If NATO became a direct war party against Russia, it would be an escalation that none of us want to imagine,” Mueller, a member of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), warned.
No other nations who possess “comparable” military hardware – including the US and France – have supplied them to Ukraine, Mueller pointed out, adding that those countries appear to share Germany’s concerns. The lawmaker also said that dialogue with Russia should be maintained. “There should always be an offer to talk,” he argued, criticizing his party’s coalition partners – the Greens and the Free Democrats – for failing to understand that.
