Ukraine called off Nord Stream sabotage after CIA tip-off

US spy network warned Kyiv off attack as Nato exercise was taking place in Baltic Sea

Ukraine called off an earlier plan to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines after a warning from the CIA, according to Dutch state TV.

Netherlands intelligence agents alerted the US spy network to the plot by Kyiv to blow up the pipeline in June 2022, at the same time as a major Nato exercise in the area, broadcaster NOS reported.

CIA officers then warned Kyiv not to destroy the strategically important energy link after receiving a tip-off from their Dutch counterparts.

Against the Pride Flag

It’s June, when one can be forgiven for thinking we live in the United States of LGBTQIA2S+.

Old Glory is, at best, supplemented with, and sometimes supplanted by, the pride flag in all its varieties.

The flag, which has become more and more unsightly, is ubiquitous. Its increasingly elaborate jumble of clashing stripes — whether seen in a store, at a ball game, or on U.S. government buildings — is a reminder to get with the program, and that the program is always changing.

Conservative Outlets Face Cyberattacks After Reporting On Alleged Recordings Of Joe And Hunter Biden

Multiple Right-leaning media outlets were hit with DDoS cyberattacks just minutes after reporting on the bombshell news that a foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden has audio recordings of his conversations with them.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said the FBI possesses a file containing 15 recordings of conversations between a Burisma executive and Hunter Biden and two recordings between the executive and then-Vice President Joe Biden. Conservative news outlets The Post Millennial, the DC Enquirer, and Human Events all said they were targeted by cyberattacks after covering the story. Other conservative sites that reported on the revelations, including The Daily Wire, did not come under attack and it was not clear that there was any connection.

China’s quantum leap — Made in Germany

Germany’s oldest university hosts many scientists conducting groundbreaking work. Little did they know how they would become entangled in China’s quantum military strategy.

The podium is decorated with pink and white plastic flowers. The Chinese man behind it speaks at length about a laser radar system for detecting stealth aircraft. Amid the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, his audience joins him virtually for the talk.

A young participant is curious — why is quantum research so important for Xinjiang? The Xinjiang Association of Science and Technology has organized the online session to showcase groundbreaking achievements in Chinese quantum research.

The Nuclear Theory You Never Knew Was Nonsense

Steve Milloy, long-time editor and founder of JunkScience.com, announced an explosive exposé this month in an extended article.  Government and private scientists in radiation safety have been attempting to cover up a pattern of misconduct and hijack the Health Physics Society, a professional organization of radiation safety experts and officials, to take down the society’s series of twenty-two videos featuring Dr. Ed Calabrese, which exposes a longtime scam in radiation safety matters.

Germany’s self-destructive Greens

Can environmentalism ever survive party politics?

The Greens were supposed to be Europe’s new hope. At the twilight of the Trump era, their champions on both sides of the Atlantic argued that they would be the perfect antidote to the far-Right. Back then, the largest and most powerful Green Party in Europe was Germany’s, and it was said to be uniquely positioned to counter polarisation. According to liberal logic, the Greens would excite voters bored with Germany’s conventional centre-Right (CDU) and centre-Left (SDP), “stabilise” the political centre, and unite different segments of the electorate with their “hopeful message” and “outsider status”. A Green wave, it was hoped, would crush the rising populist tide.

The sinister project to brainwash our children

EVIDENCE is growing of a calculated strategy of targeting and indoctrinating children in the West, and of minimising parental influence. Designed and directed by an unseen hand, the plan involves capturing children at the earliest possible age, and brainwashing them into supporting the prescribed, acceptable views on causes deemed important by the WHO and the WEF, such as climate change, vaccines, and the topic currently ‘on trend’ as we are smack bang in the middle of PRIDE month: gender. The plan is infecting every facet of life, making it hard to scupper. Educational institutions, councils, governments, the entertainment industries, and huge corporations alike, have all drunk the Kool-Aid, and given their souls to this new cult of ‘social justice’.

If Amazon Thinks You’re a Racist, It Will Shut Down Your Smart Home

You no longer control your home. Amazon does.

They say that a fool and his cloud are easily parted.

We talk a lot about deplatforming, but when a single corporation doesn’t just control a site you use, but controls most of your life, everything from your doorbell to your vacuum, your music and your lightbulbs, and it decides that your politics are bad, you’ve got problems.

UFO Whistleblower, Meet a Conspiracy-Loving Congress

Fresh claims from a former US intelligence officer about an “intact” alien craft may get traction on Capitol Hill, where some lawmakers want to believe.

THE UNITED STATES Congress is strange enough without aliens, but here we are. Or is it, here they are?

Over a span of several months, members of the 118th Congress have gone from being transfixed by wind-propelled spy balloons to being mesmerized by a whistleblower’s claims that US intelligence officials possess “intact and partially intact non-human aircraft.” The whistleblower, former intelligence officer David Grusch, also claims that this and other evidence are being withheld from Congress.

“The allegations themselves are breathtaking,” says Senator Brian Schatz, a Hawaii Democrat. “It could be a game changer, or it could be a crank. I just don’t know.”

The reactionary turn against the sexual revolution

‘Those of us who came to adulthood post-Pill stand on another shore, an ocean apart from all generations before us.’ That’s how Baroness Alison Wolf describes the impact of the invention of the contraceptive pill on the lives of women in The XX Factor. ‘Sex can be safe. You can relax about it. Women can avoid an undesired pregnancy, completely, securely, and on their own’, she writes.

Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders, could hardly be more different from the scholarly Professor Wolf. Yet, born just two years later in 1951, she shares Wolf’s view that the Pill revolutionised women’s lives. ‘In the name of women’s lib, women were becoming like men, and that was good news for me because I wanted what the boys had’, Hynde wrote in her 2015 memoir, Reckless. ‘In thinking we were in charge of our own sexuality, now we could say “yes” instead of “no”.’

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives widen their lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals with vast majority of Canadians wanting change, poll suggests

OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are pulling further ahead of the governing Liberal party in national voting intentions amid a widespread desire for change across the country, a new poll suggests.

The online survey from Abacus Data found the federal Conservatives have climbed to a seven-percentage-point lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, up from three points one month ago. The poll comes near the end of a raucous session of Parliament this spring that saw weeks of outrage over alleged Chinese political interference and the government’s response to it, as well as concerns over how best to help people deal with rising costs and debt.
