Montenegro Destroyed UNESCO World Heritage Site for Chinese Infrastructure Project

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2021/07/09/montenegro-destroyed-unesco-world-heritage-site-chinese-infrastructure-project/

The tiny Balkans nation of Montenegro is currently seeking to refinance a billion dollars in Chinese loans for a highly controversial “road to nowhere” infrastructure project.

In addition to allegations of waste, corruption, and the looming danger of China seizing Montenegrin assets via “debt trap diplomacy,” the project is controversial because of its destructive impact on the local environment, including a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the protected Tara River valley.

Environments applauded the March inauguration of a state investigation into damage inflicted on the Tara River valley by the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), which was given most of the big contracts for constructing the dubious Bar-Boljare highway financed with huge loans from Chinese banks. This is a recurring pattern with China’s Belt and Road (BRI) infrastructure projects – most of the decent jobs created by the schemes end up going to Chinese companies.

Prosecutors allege the Bar-Boljare highway, which is eventually supposed to become part of a huge coastal road network leading to Serbia’s capital of Belgrade, was undertaken without proper environmental protection measures. Continue…

Not Making Headlines: New Study Shows Children in UK Have 99.995% Chance of Surviving COVID-19

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/07/lies-since-joe-bidens-inauguration-cdc-recording-flu-hospitalizations-covid-cases/

Maybe we’d trust them more if they stopped all the lying.

Dr. Fauci, the CDC and the Biden administration continue to push for parents to get their children vaccinated for the coronavirus.

This is despite the fact that children have a 99.995% chance of surviving the virus.

Stanford Professor of Medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya joined Cortez and Pelligrino on Friday night to discuss the Biden administration’s insistence to vaccinate every child in the US for the dangerous and unpredictable COVID-19 vaccine.

During the discussion, Steve Cortez brought up a recent study in the UK that found that only 6 children out of the nearly half a million COVID infections died from the disease. 19 other deaths were children with pre-existing conditions.

And yet the CDC and Biden administration insist on vaccinating children from a disease to them that is less lethal than the flu or drowning.

This is a stunning study.

Why would authorities push facemasks and vaccines on children for the coronavirus when it is next to impossible for kids to die from this disease?

The Hunter Biden Laptop Is Real

Our ‘newspapers of record’ become something else when they conspire to deny facts and hide truth.

The problem isn’t Hunter Biden—it’s Joe—as major media outlets may be discovering, sort of, with the White House’s absurd intervention in the younger Mr. Biden’s latest career as a budding Van Gogh.

In fact, the intervention smells like a scheme dreamed up by Hunter himself, designed to call attention to his connection to the president, advertise it and enable it, while pretending to do the opposite.

For details, see a long account on the front page of Friday’s Washington Post. Under the plan, a New York gallery will keep secret the identities of those paying up to $500,000 for his novice pieces, but of course this wouldn’t stop the buyer from letting Hunter know who just bought his art or from turning up later as Hunter’s guest at a White House event.

All of this is magnificently obvious on its own terms, but even more so in light of the ludicrously detailed, well-documented revelations from the Hunter Biden laptop published over the last nine months by the New York Post and Britain’s Daily Mail.
