USA - German Chancellor Angela Merkel took aim at Donald Trump’s world view in a speech on US soil, saying unilateralism risks bringing down post-World War II alliances and trade wars threaten the “foundations of our prosperity.” “More than ever, our way of thinking and actions have to be multilateral rather than unilateral,” Merkel said in a commencement speech to Harvard University’s class of 2019 that combined tough criticism of nationalist policies with philosophical vistas of a change for the better.
EUROPE - It had been portrayed as a day of reckoning between pro-European and anti-European forces - between those who want greater integration, and those who want to retreat into their nation states. The European Parliament election results, however, tell the story of a much more fragmented European Union, where mainstream parties on both the left and the right are losing voters' confidence - a trend that reflects European national politics in the past few years. Nationalist parties took home impressive results in countries such as Italy, France, Belgium, Hungary and Poland. "The result was mixed for nationalists as they are for other forces," Doru Frantescu, CEO of Brussels-based think-tank Votewatch Europe, told Al Jazeera. "However, they did much better than five years ago," Frantescu added. "The most important thing now is whether this trend will continue in the next few years or not. These elections are not the end of European electoral history."
USA - The Western world is collapsing so rapidly that I am afraid that I am going to outlive it. The Western presstitutes and politicians have demonized Putin, Maduro, Iran, and Trump to the same extent as the patriotic propagandistic Western court historians have demonized Adolf Hitler. But no one is as demonized as white people, and the curious thing is that it is self-demonization — whites demonizing whites.
USA - When throwing out serious accusations, it’s always good to back up one’s claims with proof, but the need for evidence seems to have gone out the window lately, replaced with assertions like “highly likely” and “almost certainly.” The media, which could have learned a thing or two from the illegal invasion of Iraq – a war launched based on fabricated evidence – seems to be fairly accepting of the lax standards. Here’s five times the mere say-so of authorities was enough to pin blame.
CANADA - Malaysian Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin announced Tuesday the country would return 400 tons of garbage, most of it contaminated plastic, to its home countries, following adamant demands (and a threat of war) from Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte for Canada to take back its trash in Manila. Yeo expressed particular frustration with Canada, as well, which she said had been “irresponsible” in dumping the garbage in Southeast Asia. “We are going to send this back to Canada. We really hope the people of Canada will demand better tracking and monitoring of your waste recycling,” Yeo told Canada’s CBC News. “I hope this will make Canadians angry as well. This is the irresponsible export of plastic, of waste. It’s household garbage, it smells bad.”
UK - Last year, TFTP reported how a disturbing push was made to attempt to normalize pedophilia as a mainstream “sexual orientation.” The move involved pedophiles rebranding themselves as “Minor Attracted Persons,” with the hope that they will be accepted as part of the LGBT community. It was somewhat effective as multiple outlets reported it like it was okay. While this incident was extremely disturbing, even more worrisome is that this normalization appears to be spreading. Now, mainstream media is accused of promoting pedophilia by referring to it as “age-gap love” in a reality show.
EUROPE - Political earthquake has hit Brussels. The walls of the established order are starting to crumble, shattered by a wave of public anger that was expressed in the elections for the European Parliament this week. As the mainstream parties retreat, the failure of their federalist ideology has been exposed amid the falling debris.
UK - Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said that the self-professed “liberal” European Union in fact “crushes” democracy by taking the power away from European citizens and giving it to a political elite. Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Mr Farage, who led his Brexit Party to European Parliament election victory last week, how it is considered a “liberal” position to remain in the “German Empire, which is basically what the EU is,” rather than for the UK to seek independence and freedom. The contempt that Eurocrats feel for ordinary people was expressed by President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker last week, during the EU-wide elections, who scorned “stupid” nationalists for a perceived irrational attachment to their own countries. “The people I blame are British politicians in Westminster who have not had the courage to take back the independence, sovereignty, democracy of our country.”
CHINA - President Trump has threatened to slap a 25% tariff on the remaining $325 billion in goods coming from China, announcing the plans the same day the US more than doubled duties on $200 billion in Chinese goods as trade talks ended in a deadlock. China has a potential trump card of its own via its massive pile of US debt. But will it use it? ...according to The South China Morning Post, China has its own "range of financial firepower at its disposal to punish the US" for the tariffs war, including its massive $1.123 trillion piggybank of US Treasury bills. Theoretically, if China were to dump this debt onto the market, US bond prices would drop and force the government to substantially increase yields. That, in turn, would make loans for US corporations and private borrowers more expensive, cooling US growth.
CHINA - China might “weaponize” its dominance of rare earth metals in an escalation of the trade war with the US, a state-controlled Chinese tabloid reported Tuesday.
Update: The Financial Times and others have confirmed the threat from China’s powerful state planner. “China’s powerful planning body has threatened to use rare earths exports as leverage in the trade war with the US, in a sign of increasing tensions between the two powers,” the Financial Times reported. US companies depend on rare earths for a variety of consumer goods and military equipment, including cell phones, automobiles, and guided missiles. China controls 96 percent of global production of rare earths.
USA - It’s bad enough that some libraries encourage little children to perch on the laps of transvestite males as they hear fables about well-adjusted homosexual families, in the so-called “Drag Queen Story Hours” featured in some communities. And then those guys turn out to be convicted child molesters, as recently happened in Houston. But other libraries have devised another method for mental molestation of youth. Middle and high-schoolers are invited to a private “safe space” session with a garishly dressed she-male to explore what “drag” is all about. And adults are excluded – until the public hears and cries “foul.”
GERMANY - Angela Merkel’s resignation plans appear to have been put on ice after the German Chancellor decided her successor isn’t up to the job. The German Chancellor vowed to step down and handed over leadership of the Christian Democratic Union to Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer last year. But a free speech row has seen Ms Merkel seemingly withdraw her support for her apparent heir. Sources close to the veteran leader have suggested that she doesn’t have faith in her successor. Mrs Merkel’s plans to quit at the end of her term in 2021 remain intact but she is not willing to spend anymore political capital defending Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer. The revelation could spark a re-run of last year’s leadership campaign in order to find an alternative candidate.
USA - American soil. Those are two words that are commonly used to stir up patriotic feelings. They are also words that can't be be taken for granted, because today nearly 30 million acres of US farmland are held by foreign investors. That number has doubled in the past two decades, which is raising alarm bells in farming communities. When the stock market tanked during the last recession, foreign investors began buying up big swaths of US farmland. And because there are no federal restrictions on the amount of land that can be foreign-owned, it's been left up to individual states to decide on any limitations. It's likely that even more American land will end up in foreign hands, especially in states with no restrictions on ownership. With the median age of US farmers at 55, many face retirement with no prospect of family members willing to take over. The National Young Farmers Coalition anticipates that two-thirds of the nation's farmland will change hands in the next few decades.
AUSTRALIA - A scientific paper published by a team of Australian researchers has revealed a startling find: Scientists at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) have been “adjusting” historical data regarding tide levels in the Indian Ocean. Their “highly questionable” activities have depicted rapidly rising seas — but the truth is that there is no reason to be alarmed at all. Scientists have found that sea levels are stable — and have been for the entirety of the 20th century. To put it simply, these PSMSL “scientists” have been arbitrarily changing their data in order to create the illusion of a problem that doesn’t actually exist. According to the Australian research team, sea levels in the Indian ocean have remained stable for decades. Dr Albert Parker and Dr Clifford Ollier recently published their astounding research in the journal Earth Systems and Environment; their extensive research gives an in-depth look at how this massive deception was undertaken.
GERMANY - German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said "there is work to be done" in Germany to face up to the dark forces that are finding mainstream support there and in other parts of the world. "In Germany, obviously, they always have to be seen in a certain context, in the context of our past, which means we have to be that much more vigilant than others," she said. Speaking exclusively to CNN's Christiane Amanpour a day after the European elections, where nationalists failed to live up to a forecasted surge in support, Merkel said we have to face-up "to the specters of the past." "We have to tell our young people what history has brought over us and others."
