USA - The US envoy to Israel said Tel Aviv would not be tied by any nuclear deal with Iran. Washington’s ambassador to Israel has said that a renewed nuclear pact with Iran will not bar the close US ally from taking action to “protect” itself, as negotiators attempt to revive the 2015 JCPOA agreement between Tehran and world powers. Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12, on Thursday, Ambassador Tom Nides outlined that the United States does not expect Tel Aviv to “sit quietly and not do anything” should a final deal be struck with Iran. “We’ve been very clear about this. If we have a deal, the Israelis’ hands are not tied. If we don’t have a deal, the Israelis’ hands are certainly not tied,” the envoy said, adding that whether or not an agreement is reached, “Israel can do and take whatever actions they need to take to protect the state of Israel.”

USA - In a single tweet March 9, DuckDuckGo destroyed its brand based on private searches returning unbiased results when the CEO said they were “rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation”. If you were unfamiliar with DuckDuckGo, then the move to censorship would not sound out of the ordinary since Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have been blatantly practicing censorship for years. One lone bastion had been DuckDuckGo, a search engine that ensured users their privacy and search results that were relatively unbiased. However, on March 9, the CEO of DuckDuckGo, Gabriel Weinberg, announced on Twitter that: “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create at DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search engine updates that down rank-size associated with Russian disinformation.” The move by DuckDuckGo was only one in many made by social media platforms to reportedly clamp down on “disinformation” campaigns stemming from Russia.

CHINA - The China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association warned on Friday that coronavirus lockdowns could jeopardize the spring corn and soybean planting season by disrupting the supply of fertilizer to farms in northeastern China. Reuters explained that Chinese farmers normally stockpile fertilizer in early April, but controls on the flow of goods and people across the country imposed after the coronavirus outbreaks of the past few months have shuttered factories and interfered with shipments.

GERMANY - German Retailers Expected to Raise Prices Monday by 20-50%. The Biden economy is not the only broken economy in the world. Germany’s inflation is out of this world too. We’ve reported on Biden’s broken economy. Spending is at an all-time high, along with the US Deficit. This is causing record-breaking inflation in the US for the first time in decades. The US markets are also impacted by the massive spending that Biden is taking. Biden’s economy is a mess. Now we find out that Germany has massive inflation as well. On Monday, Germany will take one step toward a return of the dreaded Weimar hyperinflation, when according to the German Retail Association (HDE), consumers should prepare for another wave of price hikes for everyday goods and groceries with Reuters reporting that prices at German retail chains will explode between 20 and 50%.

GERMANY - Germans are already paying a price for Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine, the country’s finance minister has acknowledged. Speaking to Bild tabloid newspaper, Christian Lindner said that “the Ukraine war is making us all poorer, for example, because we have to pay more for imported energy.” In an interview published on Sunday, the German minister went on to admit that the government “cannot offset this loss in prosperity, adding on a more positive note, however, that the authorities were working to “cushion the biggest shocks.” The current state of affairs in the national economy is giving Lindner “serious concerns,” he admitted, citing sagging growth and rising prices. In the long term, Germany is going to have to “lay new foundations of prosperity,” Lindner warned.

ISRAEL - Bennett: “Whoever has a gun license, it’s time to carry the gun." Volunteers called to reinforce army, police. Israel plans to bolster its army and police presence in sensitive areas as it prepares for further terrorist attacks, including Gaza rockets, following a deadly spate of shooting and stabbing incidents that claimed 11 lives in the last week. Some 1,000 additional IDF soldiers will be posted to the West Bank and the Gaza border. Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lev announced the immediate recruitment of 300 Border Police officers and urged the public to volunteer for the Civil Guard.

RUSSIA - A Russian government official has threatened that Russia will limit its vital food exports to only nations it considers “friendly”. Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official who previously served as the nation’s president, has threatened that Russia may soon cut off the West from food exports. A major player in the global market for wheat and other agri-food products, Russia will instead focus on keeping itself fed, according to Medvedev, alongside supplying its friends and close allies. Posting on his Telegram, Medvedev said that cutting off the likes of North America and the European Union from its agricultural produce would be a very good way of retaliating against sanctions imposed by the West. “It so happened that the food security of many countries depends on our supplies,” the Russian official wrote. “It turns out that our food is our quiet weapon. Quiet but ominous.”

RUSSIA - Putin has spent much of the past two decades building an enduring and loyal following in Russia, and alliances with some of the country's most powerful institutions — none, perhaps, more important that the Russian Orthodox Church, which has fully embraced his leadership.

USA - Sierra snowpack falls to one of lowest levels in 70 years. January-March was driest such three-month period in San Francisco since records began during Gold Rush. Stressed by high temperatures and a record run of dry weather over the last three months, the Sierra Nevada snowpack, the source of 30% of the state’s water supply, has hit one of its lowest levels for the end of winter in generations. With state water officials scheduled to conduct a snow survey Friday near Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort, automatic sensors spread across the vast mountain range showed snow levels were just 39% of normal on Wednesday. The measurements were the latest evidence that California’s three-year drought is growing more severe.

USA - Award winning journalist Alex Newman says the big problems in America are all caused by the Deep State. Newman wrote a popular book called “Deep State.” In it, Newman identified the players, tactics and plans that they are executing today in the United States and the rest of the world. Newman explains, “I think this is what we are witnessing right now. We are seeing the controlled demolition of American power, of American prestige, economic might, military might and credibility. We are also seeing the implosion of cohesion in the United States. You can see division, riots, hatred, and it’s all for the purpose of ushering in this new system.

AUSTRALIA - Australian Senator Alex Antic: “The World Economic Forum’s message is designed to appear harmless when in fact the ideology that underpins it is revolutionary and destructive.” During a Parliament session on Tuesday, Australian Senator Alex Antic unmasked the “Marxist World Economic Forum” (WEF), revealing how they use their Young Global Leader graduates to penetrate governments worldwide. Senator Antic is determined to uncover how far the WEF’s influence reaches in Australia. WEF infiltrates governments. “It’s an ideology which is creeping into governments across the world,” stated Antic. The Senator referenced Schwab’s comments from 2017 about his control over Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet.

USA - Dr Robert Malone, one of the inventors of mRNA technology, has long been an outspoken critic of the dystopian worldwide response to the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the elite’s push for everyone to take the experimental mRNA vaccines. If you have been paying attention at all over the past two years, it’s no secret (they’ve said so themselves) that the COVID pandemic is part of a broader, more dystopian, agenda, which has been dubbed the “Great Reset” by Klaus Schwab and his globalist cabal of puppets across the West.

GERMANY - Berlin is looking into forcing Kremlin-backed Gazprom to sell critical gas storage facilities across Germany, effectively meaning an expropriation of those sites, a government official and two additional people briefed on the plans said. And Germany's Economy Ministry says it "is working intensively" to reduce the influence of another Russian state-controlled energy firm, Rosneft, which owns a refinery in the eastern town of Schwedt that processes around a quarter of the country's oil supplies. The government's sudden focus on the storage sites and the refinery highlight how Russia's leverage over Germany in the energy sector goes far beyond its large role in supplying Europe's biggest economy with oil and gas. The war in Ukraine has acted as a wake-up call to Germany's political establishment, where the consensus had long been that cheap gas from Moscow was not only good for business but gave Russia an incentive to remain in the international fold.

NORTH KOREA - The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has warned of increased tensions with South Korea after its defense minister spoke out about his country’s ability to strike Pyongyang with precision weapons. Friday’s comments by South Korean Defense Minister Suh Wook have “further worsened the inter-Korean relations and military tension on the Korean Peninsula,” Kim Yo-jong said, according to North Korean state-run news agency KCNA on Sunday. She added that South Korea “may face a serious threat” as North Korea considers its options in response to Suh’s statement. The defense minister spoke of South Korea’s military readiness amid recent provocations from Pyongyang, such as last month’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), saying Seoul can “accurately and swiftly strike any targets” in the North. South Korea has responded to the ICBM launch by touting its military capabilities, such as test-firing multiple missiles and showcasing its F-35 jets in a training exercise.

UK - Scientists ...demand their claims of looming climate catastrophe are taken seriously. That’s the message released Sunday by a loosely federated global network of scientists and academics who plan “high levels of disobedience” to highlight what they say is a planet in decay. Members of Scientist Rebellion told AFP their non-violent actions are timed to coincide with an upcoming report from the UN’s climate science advisory panel laying out options for slashing carbon pollution. Scientist Rebellion will operate in two dozen countries. It targets universities, research institutes and major scientific journals, demanding they speak out at what is described as the “existential threat of global warming.” Starting Monday, the group hopes to see “high levels of disobedience” with more than 1,000 scientists worldwide taking part in direct non-violent action against government and academic institutions.
