CHILE - The Governor of the Santiago metropolitan region Claudio Orrego has announced an unprecedented water rationing plan to avoid catastrophe, as Chile is living through a more-than-a-decade-long drought and the country’s capital is facing the possibility of being cut off from water resources. “A city can’t live without water. And we’re in an unprecedented situation in Santiago’s 491-year history, where we have to prepare for there to be not enough water for everyone who lives here,” the governor stated at a press conference on Monday. “This is the first time in history that Santiago has a water rationing plan. Over three-quarters of Chile have been affected by the decade-long drought. As a result, the South American nation is experiencing the worst water crisis in the entire western hemisphere. Experts blame the lack of water on the scarcity of rainfall, but also on the water ownership regime, established in 1981. Former military ruler and president Augusto Pinochet’s Water Code gave nearly 80 % of the country’s water resources to private agricultural, energy, and mining companies.

UK - An ECO mob has forced Lloyd's of London to close its City headquarters after protesters blocked all 25 entrances and scaled the outside of the building to unfurl banners demanding it stops insuring coal, oil and gas projects. Extinction Rebellion fanatics descended on the office at 7am this morning and used superglue, chains and bike locks to block ways in and out of the building, forcing staff to work from home for the day. Extinction rebellion said people had scaled the outside of the building and unfurled banners, reading 'End Fossil Fuels Now' and 'Insure Climate Justice'. Some protesters even dressed up as rats in suits, claiming the firm is putting 'profits before planet'.

SWITZERLAND - In the video at the end of this article, comedian JP Sears outlines the primary reasons why this makes Schwab easily among the most dangerous people in the world — and arguably the most dangerous. One of The Great Reset’s “new normal” dictums is that you’ll own nothing and be happy. This is part of WEF’s 2030 agenda, and a plan is already in place to make it happen. Schwab is also author of the book, “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” which was published July 9, 2020. “Wonder how he got it written and published that fast?” Sears said. “It’s almost like he prewrote it before he started the pandemic. I mean, before the pandemic started.”

USA - Nearly half of the Twitter accounts spreading messages on the social media platform about the coronavirus pandemic are likely bots, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University said Wednesday. Researchers culled through more than 200 million tweets discussing the virus since January and found that about 45% were sent by accounts that behave more like computerized robots than humans. It is too early to say conclusively which individuals or groups are behind the bot accounts, but researchers said the tweets appeared aimed at sowing division in America. Such bogus ideas on the Internet have caused real-world harm. In England, dozens of wireless towers have been set on fire in acts officials believe have been fueled by false conspiracy theories linking the rollout of 5G technology to the coronavirus. "We're seeing up to two times as much bot activity as we'd predicted based on previous natural disasters, crises and elections," Carley said.

USA - Two weeks ago Joe Biden warned Americans to expect “real” food shortages. He wasn’t kidding. Two weeks later and Walgreens starts rationing baby formula. A national shortage of baby formula brought on by pandemic-related supply-chain issues has forced US retailers such as Walgreens to ration the all-important product. The company – the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the United States behind CVS – said Friday that amid the supply-chain crunch, it is limiting customers to three infant and toddler formula product purchases at a time, at its 9,021 US locations.

RUSSIA - Vladimir Putin is believed to be rubbing his hands with glee as a "scared Europe is losing the financial war", it has been claimed. In the month following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many Western commentators have commended the united front their leaders have taken against the actions of the Kremlin. Geopolitical forecaster George Friedman noted the war “has brought the United States and Europe closer than before”. But despite having been hit by a range of heavy sanctions, Moscow now appears to be taking back ground on the financial front, with the West only able to go so far without inflicting too much damage on itself. One metric of Russia’s state in the face of sanctions is the value of its currency, the ruble. On the day Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, this opened at 81.4 against the US dollar. In just seven days, this had risen dramatically to 138.95. To ensure the Kremlin feels the full force of Europe’s frustration at its anger, Mr Verhofstadt urged leaders to “double down on sanctions now”. To do so would, however, amount to a good deal of self-harm.

USA - Naomi Wolf warned the Tucker Carlson audience on Monday to beware of an unfolding emergency in the weeks ahead to help Joe Biden and Democrats in the upcoming election.

USA - States that imposed the harshest lockdowns had the most devastating impact on the public, the most wide-ranging study into Covid restrictions in the US to date has found. New York, California, New Jersey and Illinois were panned for their pandemic performance after bringing in draconian measures to shut their citizens in their homes.

EUROPE - The stunning spectacle of the EU committing slow motion hara-kiri is something for the ages. Like a cheap Kurosawa remake the movie is actually about the Empire of Lies-detonated demolition of the EU, complete with subsequent rerouting of some key Russian commodities exports to the US at the expense of the Europeans. It helps to have a 5th columnist actress strategically placed, in this case astonishingly incompetent European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen, with a brand new vociferous announcement of an extra sanctions package: Russian ships banned from EU ports; road transportation companies from Russia and Belarus prohibited from entering the EU; no more coal imports (over 4.4 billion euros a year).

USA - The Detox Project recently published their latest results from the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the US, showing that the contamination of the US food supply with the cancer-causing herbicide glyphosate is becoming significantly worse since their first report published 5 years ago.

USA - Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not comparable to any other invasion in history due to its geoeconomic significance. Both Ukraine and Russia are leading exporters of commodities such as crude, natural gas, iron and steel, wheat, and edible oils that have a direct impact on the inflation levels in major world economies. While economists were concerned about a significant drop in consumption levels arising from COVID-19-related lockdowns and suppression of demand sending crude prices to $50 per barrel two years ago, now they are concerned about the exact opposite — skyrocketing crude prices touching more than $130 per barrel and natural gas hitting $5.7 per metric million British thermal units (MMBtu).

RUSSIA - As towering skyscrapers rose in Moscow atop a pile of oil cash, Putin’s government became more backward-looking and more isolated. Vladimir Putin has leaned into arguments about Russian history to justify military action in Ukraine, but it’s really about controlling access to energy markets. If you walk the streets of Moscow, you will eventually smell the faint odor of gasoline. It’s as ever-present in the air around Russia’s capital as it is central to the country’s economy, infrastructure and geopolitical posture. Russian President Vladimir Putin has spelled out a nationalist rationale for his country’s military incursion into Ukraine,but it is primarily about protecting Moscow’s energy interests.

USA - This interaction between Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick and a local health minister reveals that the reason why the Australian government, like the Canadian government isn’t letting unvaccinated people fly on commercial airlines has nothing to do with health policy but with the fact that these countries, like the US and all other UN members are signatory to the International Health Regulations accord of 2005 or IHR. Most people, like me had never heard of the IHR. These regulations override and supersede the US Constitution. While everyone is looking at Ukraine, the WHO is planning a power grab to give it legal powers over the pandemic response in 190 countries. We have already agreed to obey the IHR by virtue of our membership in the United Nations and the World Health Organization. We have already given away some of our sovereignty. These amendments will give away even more. Basically, the power that the WHO currently has under the declared State of Emergency (which is completely bogus, there is no pandemic) they now want to keep forever. With this treaty, they intend to cement and expand their centralized control of world governments.

CANADA - The Canadian government trampled on fundamental human rights with its COVID restrictions, then overreached on dealing with the Freedom Convoy and must now answer to numerous lawsuits, including one by a former premier, says a well-respected constitutional lawyer. Speaking on Montreal lawyer Viva Frei’s Youtube channel on March 25, Keith Wilson noted that the mischief charges against his client and convoy leader Tamara Lich, will not be successful. She counselled truckers to move in order to comply with police demands, not to block emergency lanes, he said.

GERMANY - Before he was installed by Winston Churchill to serve as first secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Lord Hastings Lionel Ismay tartly summarized the purpose of the new alliance: “Keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in and the Germans down.” Some 70 years later, Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has reawakened the West to the importance of the first two imperatives. Moscow has not given up its dreams of empire nor its will to dominate its neighbors.
