USA - A group of international transport organizations issued achilling warning of the potential collapse of supply chains in the comingmonths, and they’re asking world leaders to do something to avert what could bea catastrophe. Global experts in trade logistics...are asking authorities to simply let them do their jobs unrestrained after almost two years of coronavirus red tape. In an open letter released thisweek, they spelled out the stakes of continued delays caused by pandemic protocols. They asked the UN, the World Health Organization and anyone else listening to intervene to prevent a “global transport systems collapse.”

USA - Milley hints China’s hypersonic weapons test has left US in arms-race dust . Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has suggested that China’s recent test of a hypersonic weapon might be a “Sputnik moment,” suggesting the US has fallen way behind inthe 21st century arms race. “What we saw was a very significant eventof a test of a hypersonic weapon system. And it is very concerning,”Milley said in an interview on Bloomberg TV’s David Rubenstein Show on Wednesday. “I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that.” It has all of our attention.

USA - Public schools are at the epicenter of america’s valuesimplosion. It is often said that children are the future, and America’s children are being raised in nightmarish propaganda centers that are cesspoolsof sex, violence and just about every type of evil that you can possibly imagine. All the way through my education, I attended public schools, and they were really bad in my day. But now they are so horrific thatI don’t know why any parent would ever want to subject their children to such an environment. When they are in class, children are being systematically taught “values” that are completely and utterly un-American, and when they are out of class that is when the realdanger begins. Just when you think that our public schools can’t possiblysink any lower, somehow they find a way to do exactly that.

USA - The woke mob are headed down the same well-trodden book-burning road as the Conquistadors and the Nazis. Most people would struggle to find kids’ classics ‘Little House On The Prairie’ and ‘Dr Seuss’ offensive. But a UK university is failing to learn the lessons of the past by insisting they carry warnings for ‘harmful content’. Book banning and book burning – the attempted annihilation of a culture by attacking thewritten word – is nothing new. Just ask the Qin Emperor of China a couple of thousand years-or-so ago – he of the Terracotta Army. Heliked to roast a book or two. As did the Romans a few hundred years later,and the Spanish invaders of the Americas in the 16th century. They had a blast burning books.

EUROPE - The European Court of Justice has said on Wednesday that it ordered Poland to pay a million euro (around $1.2 million) every day until it brings its judicial system in line with European Union standards. The harsh penalty was "necessary in order to avoid serious and irreparable harm to the legal order of the European Union and tothe values on which that Union is founded, in particular that of the ruleof law," the Luxembourg-based court said in its ruling. The fine comes in response to the controversial decision by Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, which earlier this month prioritized national laws over those of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

USA - Throughout the world, society is singling out the unvaccinatedfor punishment. Those who refuse the COVID vaccines face potential loss of jobs, healthcare, freedom of movement, and liberty in general. Thosewho support vaccine mandates and vaccine passports want to ostracize the unvaccinated from society. They seek to apply maximum pressure to force the unvaccinated into compliance. Does any of this sound eerily familiar? It should. The Book of Revelation describes a similar system whereby the people of the world are forced to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. Those who refuse to comply will be unable tobuy or sell. They’ll effectively be cut off from society. Are COVID vaccines the mark of the beast written about in the Book of Revelation?

GERMANY - With three-way coalition talks for Germany's next government underway, the role of finance minister is in high demand. Christian Lindner of the FDP and the Greens' Robert Habeck both want the job. How important is it? Neither Lindner nor Habeck have studied economics.

NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted she wants to create two classes of citizens based on Chinese coronavirus vaccination status. During an interview with the NZ Herald on Friday, a reporter asked Ardern if her goal is to create two classes of citizens with New Zealand’s “traffic light” system, which Ardern unveiled Friday morning. “So you’ve basically said, you probably don’t see it like this, but two different classes of people — if you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated. You have all these rights if you are vaccinated —” NZ Herald‘s deputy political editor Derek Cheng asked Ardern. “That is what it is, yep,” Ardern replied.

UK - Nigel Farage has burst in rage after seeing pictures of a German-British parade in a new Battalion collaboration that raises concerns about the European Union’s intentions for an army. 600 soldiers marched across two M3 Rig bridges and formed up to be officially re-designated while making the formal establishment of the German-British Amphibious Engineer Battalion 130. Only the United Kingdom and Germany have the bridging capability within NATO. Nigel Farage, a former member of the European Parliament for the Brexit Party, advised the UK against putting its “confidence in an EU rival” military cooperation. Mr Farage, speaking on GB News, said: “For over 20 years, I’ve been screaming against an EU army, railing against EU military, and I believed the debate would be ended with Brexit. Nonetheless, I was astounded to see photos last week of a group of British royal engineers in Germany collaborating with German engineers on a re-designation march. It’s virtually unbelievable that a new amphibious group made up of British and German troops will be formed. I can’t believe what I’m hearing."

MIDDLE EAST - Over the past 15 years, Israel has worked intensively on an alliance of Arab Gulf states against Iran. The current reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran could finally herald the end of this diplomacy. The proxy wars between Saudi Arabia and Iran, whether in Lebanon or Yemen, could come to an end in the face of a possible reconciliation between the two rival states. This would have far-reaching positive consequences for the entire region, one which is usually more likely to make headlines with war. But this won’t be thanks to the UN, the US, or the EU, despite their multiple special envoys to the Middle East. It is the regional powers that are taking matters into their own hands, with their latest meeting having taken place in Baghdad in late September. While the US has to say goodbye to the region after twenty years and deal with many foreign policy debacles such as in Afghanistan, the regional powers are gaining self-confidence and an increased sphere of influence. What has transpired so far in official reports gives cause for hope.

CHINA - China is set to be cut from Britain's nuclear power sector after the current business secretary discarded a 2015 international agreement created by David Cameron. Although nuclear plants are due to shut in the near future… the current business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, wants to build two new nuclear power stations by 2024. Two projects were previously agreed, one with funding coming from China under David Cameron's leadership. The Chinese were to fund Hinkley Point C in Somerset and Sizewell and then install their own reactors at Bradwell. However, Mr Kwarteng plans to scrap the agreement in order to implement a new funding system that no longer requires China's involvement and their installation in Bradwell. Consumers will be the ones funding the projects through an extra £1 a month to their electricity bill.

UK - A mood of pessimism already shrouds the upcoming United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, where world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, will try to agree to next steps in the urgent fight against global warming. These summits often don’t live up to their expectations, even as the stakes for their success or failure grow ever higher. It seems unlikely that Glasgow will produce the major commitments experts say are necessary to keep temperatures from rising above dangerous thresholds and to help protect vulnerable communities from the worst impacts of the changing climate.

USA - Our leaders have been creating, borrowing and spending dollars at a pace that is far beyond anything that we have ever seen before in US history, and yet they would have us believe that the terrible inflation that they have created is just “temporary”. They must think that we are really stupid or really gullible (or both), because anyone with even a shred of common sense can see that this is going to end badly. I have been warning about this for years, and many others have also been sounding the alarm for a very long time. But at this point, you don’t have to be any sort of an “expert” to see what is happening. In fact, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey just posted a tweet on his official account warning that “hyperinflation” is coming…

USA - With Pope John Paul II, the meeting stretched 45 minutes, frequently interrupted by aides who were brushed aside by a pontiff interested in talking to a 37-year-old senator named Joe Biden. With Pope Benedict XVI, there was a long discussion of whether politicians should impose their beliefs on others when it comes to church doctrine, an exchange Biden described as “like going to theology class.”

USA - A joint Chinese and Russian naval exercise, in which a flotilla of 10 warships completed a near circle around Japan's main island, has been touted by the two countries as a means of ensuring stability in a volatile region. But analysts say the drills are likely to have the opposite effect, potentially reigniting regional tensions and enhancing claims by the Japanese government that it needs to increase military spending to counter Chinese aggression. The voyage, billed as the first joint China-Russia naval patrol in the western Pacific, saw the vessels sail through the Tsugaru Strait that separates Japan's main island and its northern island of Hokkaido, before heading down the nation's eastern coast and then back toward China through the Osumi Strait off the southern Japanese island of Kyushu. Drew Thompson, a former United States Defense Department official said: "So if it's good for China and Russia, it must be fine for the US, Canada and other navies that sail in the Taiwan Strait - or even the South China Sea".
