ISRAEL - Israel is looking to restart plans to attack Iran's nuclear sites, after Tehran elected its next President. Ebrahim Raisi, 60, was elected as Iran’s next President to the anger of Israel’s newest Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Israel has opposed Iran’s development of nuclear capabilities for years. Mr Bennett used his first cabinet meeting in Jerusalem to brand Iran’s new President a “mass murderer”. Israel’s Prime Minister said Mr Raisi’s election was “the last chance for the world powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement and to understand who they’re doing business with”. He added: “These guys are murderers, mass murderers. A regime of brutal hangmen must never be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction that will enable it to not kill thousands, but millions.” An Israeli Government source also told the Channel 12 broadcaster: “There will be no choice [now] but to go back and prepare attack plans for Iran’s nuclear programme.This will require budgets and the reallocation of resources.”

UK - The head of NATO has warned that cyberspace attacks can result in a response from the alliance in other domains. Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg said the group of nations will defend itself against cyberspace attacks as it would from any armed attack. He told BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis that NATO will treat this kind of aggression as it would any other incursion. He said: “The core purpose of NATO is that all allies protect and defend each other and that’s based on out Article 5: an attack on one will be regarded as an attack on all allies. And what we have said is that an attack in cyberspace can be as damaging, as dangerous, as a kinetic attack, a normal armed attack. But the way we will respond, that can be in cyberspace but it can also be in other domains, air, sea, land."

AUSTRALIA - Australia is stuck between a rock lobster and a hard place. Its biggest trading partner is China, expected to become the world's biggest economy. That should be good news, but there's a catch: Canberra also craves the security and legitimacy it gets from being allied with the United States and the West.

USA - Leftists in government, news media, and other fields disparage Breitbart News for refusal to comply with coordinated manufacturing of content across the public, investor Adam Townsend said during a Wednesday livestream with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. Townsend highlighted the New York Times’ 1619 Project as an example of how leftist news media seek to cultivate a sense of guilt among Americans for the purposes of emotional blackmail in a political context.

USA - Another day, another de-banking. Imagine a ruthless country where peaceful citizens who fearlessly defend their heritage, their families and their faith can wake up in the morning and find themselves cut off from their entire life savings with no explanation and no recourse. That country is not Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela or Iran. That country is America in 2021.

UK - New laws are being proposed by two university doctors to protect animals — from hate speech. A barmy research paper suggests anti-animal language should be banned. It says “speciesist” hate speech is as bad as racism. The proposals — published in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies — would see cats, dogs, farm animals, even seagulls safeguarded. And the plans ignore the fact animals can’t be offended by words. Last night Tory MP Nigel Mills branded the idea “utter woke nonsense” and “a complete waste of time”.

USA - In 2014 GRAIN published a detailed breakdown of the grants made by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to promote agricultural development in Africa and other parts of the world. Our main conclusion then was that the vast majority of those grants were channelled to groups in the US and Europe, not Africa nor other parts of the global South. The funding overwhelmingly went to research institutes rather than farmers. They were also mainly directed at shaping policies to support industrial farming, not smallholders.

USA - The controversial psychiatrist who said that she fantasized about shooting white people during panel at Yale University in April has doubled down on her attacks saying white people are 'psychopathic' in a new interview. Dr Aruna Khilanani, who runs her own practice in Manhattan, delivered a talk titled Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind virtually to medical students and faculty back in April after being invited by Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center. Khilanani made stunning statements during her talk, including admitting she has had violent fantasies about shooting white people. Khilanani told Hill that white people's re-telling of colonization 'sanitizes' the violence and that white people take credit for discovering things that already existed. 'This level of discovery is everywhere,' she said. 'You've discovered vegetarianism, you know. You've discovered yoga. Everything is a discovery. And it's all actually stolen.'

AUSTRALIA - The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster will have to remain an underground pasta-worshipping sect in Australia, after a tribunal ruled that the satirical religion was unworthy of formal recognition. Adelaide resident Tanya Watkins, a high-ranking “Pastafarian,” had made several attempts to secure official status for the church, but to no avail. Apparently tired of having her pasta deity so thoroughly disrespected, she filed an appeal, insisting that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was incorporated for a “religious, educational, charitable or benevolent purpose,” thus meeting the standards for official recognition stipulated in South Australia’s Associations Incorporation Act. The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) was not persuaded, however. The tribunal issued an irreverent, possibly pastaphobic ruling in which it described the religion as a “hoax” and a “sham” unworthy of official status.

IRAN - Conservative judge Ebrahim Raisi has been declared the victor of Iran’s presidential election. As the clear frontrunner, Raisi received congratulations from rival candidates hours before preliminary results were announced. Iran’s Interior Ministry announced the final results on Saturday, showing that Raisi had won in a landslide victory.

IRAN - Iranian hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi has won a landslide victory to be declared the country's next president - but he has a bloody history steeped in murder and executions, activists claim. The 60-year-old's securing of the office means all arms of the Iranian regime are now in the hands of ultra conservative hardliners. He will take power next month when the reigns are handed over by outgoing - and more moderate - leader Hassan Rouhani. Iran's president is the second-highest ranking official in the country, second only to the Ayatollah. Raisi stood on a counter-corruption platform amid ongoing economic hardship in Iran, but the judge's history is steeped in blood. Opposition activists claim he will only further push Iran away from the West amid ongoing tensions - spreading bloodshed and terror across the Middle East.

USA - Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a home? For many Americans, this is not something that they need to imagine because it is a daily reality. Nobody knows for sure how many homeless individuals there are in this country, but recent estimates range from “fewer than 600,000 to more than 1.5 million people”, and everyone agrees that the number has been growing. Even as the wealthy engage in wild bidding wars over the most desirable properties, more impoverished Americans are being forced into the streets with each passing day. There has always been homelessness in America, but here in 2021 it is rapidly becoming a crisis of epic proportions. Ironically, the state with the worst problem is also the wealthiest state in the nation. At least 160,000 homeless people currently live in California, although many believe that official figure is way too low. The number of homeless in the state had been rising for years, and then the pandemic came along… tent cities have seemingly popped up everywhere these days.

USA - According to 42 US Code § 300aa–22, "No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings." In other words, companies that manufacture vaccines are not liable if someone has an allergic reaction or injury after being vaccinated.

USA - Salvador Parra, the manager of Burford Ranch in California's Central Valley agricultural breadbasket, is worried about the lack of water. California's worst drought since 1977 has forced Parra to leave fallow 2,000 of his 6,000 acres and dig deep for water to save the crops already planted. "There's not very much being grown out there, just because there's no water. There's literally no water," said Parra.

AUSTRALIA - Blankets of cobwebs are covering the Australian countryside in what has been dubbed a "spider apocalypse" as the country battles a biblical mouse plague. Thick blankets of spider webs have been pictured stretched across the Gippsland region amid heavy rain and subsequent flooding in Victoria. The spooky veil covering shrubs, grass, and road signs, shows the spider's attempts to flee the floodwaters and seek refuge on higher ground. The pictures, shared on Reddit, were posted alongside the caption: " If the floods weren't enough, I give you, spider apocalypse." The southeastern state has been ravaged by heavy rain and strong winds, forcing thousands to evacuate. Parts of the region were closed last week after the rain left residents without power.
