Russia will not resume gas supplies to Europe until sanctions lifted, says Moscow

Russia will not resume in full its gas supplies to Europe until the west lifts its sanctions against Moscow, the Kremlin said, as concerns over Russian gas supplies continued to drive up energy prices.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesperson, blamed sanctions “introduced against our country by western countries including Germany and the UK” for Russia’s failure to deliver gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

“Other reasons that would cause problems with the pumping don’t exist,” Peskov was cited by the Interfax news agency as saying.

Canada Pro-Israel orgs blast NDP for anti-Israel boycott, lawfare policies

The NDP demanded the Canadian government end all trade and economic relations with Israeli settlements and suspend all arms trade with Israel.

New policies to pressure Israel and accuse it of human rights abuses published by the Canadian New Democratic Party’s (NDP) led to outrage among Canadian pro-Israel groups on Friday.

The NDP emailed out 13 policy demands for Canada’s ruling Liberal party on August 26, which would recognize the “asymmetric nature” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and ostensibly end hostilities by pressuring and ostracising the State of Israel.

‘His Speech Was Hatred’: Trump Blasts Biden For Attack On ‘MAGA Republicans’

Former President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden at a rally Saturday night over a series of presidential speeches that attacked the former president’s supporters.

“Joe Biden came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to give the most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president,” Trump told a massive crowd at the rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “Vilified 75 million citizens plus another, probably 75 to 150, if we want to be accurate about it, as threats to democracy and as enemies of the state.”

Seven in 10 Canadians polled say access to health care has worsened since the pandemic started

“The survey shows that average Canadians believe that there is a massive problem with our health care system,” said Mr. Nanos, who is also the company’s chief data scientist. “Canadians give our health care system a failing mark – a 3.8 out of 10. A score like that means you should be going back to the drawing board and rethinking everything.”

The survey included a question that asked respondents to rank the state of Canada’s health care on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being an absolute crisis and 10 is working very well. The results found 45 per cent provided a score of between 0 and 3, while 41 per cent ranked the system between 4 and 6. Only 14 per cent gave marks of 7 and above. The average score was 3.8.

Why Nigeria’s ban on foreign models won’t work

Some in the British and American media have interpreted Nigeria’s prohibition on the use of foreign models as a ban on white people and foreign accents, and an attempt to free ourselves from a colonial mentality.

But this ignores the fact that there are many Nigerians at home and abroad with British and American accents – authentic or fake – as well as some Nigerians who are blonde-haired and blue-eyed.

My good friend, Jackie Farris, was born to white American parents in Florida in the US, but has made Nigeria her permanent residence for more than 25 years, and has a green Nigerian passport to show for it.

Great! Can we ban Africans now? How about Asians?

Statistics indicate COVID jab is the ‘elephant in the room’ when it comes to excess mortality rates

Emerging statistics on excess mortality rates paint an alarming picture. Far more people died in 2021, after the rollout of the COVID shots, and in 2022, than during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020. I will review some of those shocking statistics — which are mirrored around the world — in a moment.

But while rational people look at these figures and ask themselves what the most apparent and likely cause behind this sudden rise in deaths of working-age adults and younger people might be, mainstream media are trying to divert your attention from the elephant in the room — mass injection with experimental gene transfer technology — to anything and everything but that.

From China to Mexico to NYC: How fentanyl became ‘a weapon of mass destruction’ in the US

Lethal Fentanyl Dose

In the dark hours before dawn, there’s no busier place than the Hunts Point produce market in The Bronx, where throngs of chefs, grocers and deli owners jockey each morning to snag the plumpest peaches and leafiest lettuce.

But the bazaar, which handles as many as 30 million pounds of goods per day and is the largest produce outlet in the nation, also provides perfect cover for the importing of fentanyl, America’s deadliest drug, which smugglers sneak into New York amid boxes of fruits and vegetables, according law-enforcement officials.
