Gary Barnett: Freedom Starts by Refusing to Wear a Mask

 

"As bad as the ruling and political class's totalitarian response to this so-called emergency has been, it pales in comparison to the pathetic reaction by the people of this country….Complacency and conformity are useless and will lead only to servitude. The time for action is now or neve

 

How could the very people that have had their lives purposely destroyed by the state they sanction and support, ignore all the lies that have been exposed over and over again about this pandemic hoax? How could any thinking human not be able to see the absurd nature of this scam called Covid-19? How does any population in mass get to this sorry state of ignorance?

 

Since when is depriving the body and mind of oxygen, and breathing in expelled carbon dioxide (CO2) good for the health of humans?

Since when is wearing a partial face covering that is multiple times more porous than can protect against any virus penetration helpful?

Since when is hiding all expression from others not psychologically damaging?

Since when is it legitimate and not hypocritical for the state to outlaw Muslim women from wearing head and face coverings that are part of their culture, and in the same breath force all Americans to cover their faces with a mask?

Since when does any politician have any right to dictate to an entire population that they have to wear masks or any other type of clothing? Since when in this day and age did absolute slavery of all become a mainstay of American society?

 

Forced mask-wearing due to political control over people is a major aspect of the tyrannical response to this fraudulent virus 'pandemic.'

 

Social distancing, forced testing, quarantines, mandated business closings, temperature checks, mass surveillance, and any number of other atrocious invasions of privacy are all demeaning and oppressive, but the state and local orders supported by the national political and 'health' organizations to wear masks, is especially instructive of the real agenda sought.

 

That agenda is as clear as day, and is being implemented not only as a test of mass societal compliance, but also to force people apart and to remove closeness, expression, and emotion from the human psyche. This is a purposeful state exercise with the intent of destroying the spirit of the American public, leaving only a society of unfeeling and obedient drones awaiting the next order handed down from on high.

 

As bad as the ruling and political class's totalitarian response to this so-called emergency has been, it pales in comparison to the pathetic reaction by the people of this country.

 

For a population that has long claimed superiority status over all others on earth, thinking that they were exceptional, most all bowed down to false state authority as if they were slaves bowing to a master. This is akin to a religious reaction that could only be possible if the people now believe that the state is God. Why else would so many voluntarily allow themselves and their families to be destroyed by complying with orders to not work to sustain their livelihoods? Why would so many be humiliated at every turn because they were too frightened to question such draconian measures being implemented without even a trace of truth evident?

 

How could the very people that have had their lives purposely destroyed by the state they sanction and support, ignore all the lies that have been exposed over and over again about this pandemic hoax? How could any thinking human not be able to see the absurd nature of this scam called Covid-19? How does any population in mass get to this sorry state of ignorance?

The Propaganda Campaign Against Russia Is Gathering Momentum

 

Up above us there is a scientific laboratory circling the earth in a truly warming example of world-wide cooperation. The International Space Station (ISS) is an impressive scientific venture which for the last ten years has relied entirely on Russian Soyuz spacecraft and rockets for transportation of crews and materiel to and from the station in orbit. All launches and landings are from the Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome which is leased from Kazakhstan. According to the European Space Agency there have been 1680 successful launches, and the invaluable Wikipedia notes that “as of May 31, 2020, 240 individuals have made 395 spaceflights to the ISS.” Long-term ISS crews have been composed mainly of astronauts from the U.S. (53) and Russia (39).

 

It might be expected that this outstanding example of international cooperation would receive wide media cover and be greeted with approval by all who desire furtherance of international amity. Unfortunately, although there is indeed considerable support for the international aspects of the programme, the Western media largely ignores Russia’s part in its success and concentrates almost entirely on the involvement of SpaceX, a U.S. private venture company, in sending missions to the Space Station.

 

It was intriguing that the New York Times (for example), in its detailed 1500-word report of the first SpaceX astronaut launch on May 30, recorded that there were three crew already on board but mentioned only one name — that of U.S. astronaut Christopher Cassidy. You would have to go to the site of the Space Agency itself to learn that the other two were “Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.” The general principle for much of the Western media is to refrain from mentioning Russia in any positive context.

 

Which brings us to the fable about the supposed payment of bonuses to Afghan Taliban for killing U.S. military personnel. In June the New York Times headlined “Suspicions of Russian Bounties Were Bolstered by Data on Financial Transfers” and went on to say that “analysts have used other evidence to conclude that the transfers were most likely part of an effort to offer payments to Taliban-linked militants to kill American and coalition troops in Afghanistan.” This was an even bigger story than SpaceX, weighing in at over 5,000 words (including audio transcripts), and packed with amazing if somewhat dubious revelations.

 

The original story had been that “American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops . . . according to officials briefed on the matter.”

Chicago Postal Workers Threaten Strike After Several Mail Carriers Shot

 

The agony continues for the people of Chicago, who literally have no place to hide. The violence continued to escalate over the weekend with at least 45 people shot and nine killed.

 

CBS2:

 

The most recent fatal shooting happened around 2:50 a.m. Monday, when a 17-year-old boy was shot in the back as he was standing in an alley on the 6400 block of North Hamilton Avenue in West Ridge. Police said he was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

 

Around 2:15 a.m. Monday, a 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old man were sitting in a parked car on the 3400 block of West Carmen Avenue on the cusp of the North Park and Albany Park neighborhoods, when shots were fired. The younger man was shot in the back and the right hand, and was taken to Swedish Hospital in fair condition. The older man was shot in the head, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

The body count continues ever upward. July was the most violent month in the city in 28 years. The city has passed 500 homicides and is on track for one of the most violent years since the 1990s.

 

Needless to say, if you’re outside and exposed, you’re in danger. A 24-year old mail carrier found that out when she was shot while delivering the mail in a violent neighborhood on the city’s south side. She was shot multiple times, apparently caught in the crossfire between two gangs fighting over the same worthless real estate.

 

She was the second mail carrier shot on that same route. Another carrier was shot and severely wounded last March. A few days after the postal worker was shot, another mail person was hit with a paintball round.

 

Obviously, the police can’t be everywhere at any given time. But mail carriers and other postal workers in Chicago are threatening to strike unless city officials take note of their concerns.

 

Fox News:

 

Chicago postal workers rallied on Friday to demand that city officials address the threat to mail carriers’ safety, The Blaze reported. Mack Julion, president of the Chicago Chapter of the National Association of Letter Carriers, advised workers to stop delivering in areas where they feel unsafe.

 

“Any letter carrier who does not feel safe in any one of these communities then they are not to deliver mail and customers have to pick up their mail,” Julion said. “We are not going to have another situation where the letter carrier is shot down.”

 

Postal strikes are illegal but could anyone blame them if they refused to brave the shooting gallery Chicago streets have become? Police officers are paid to put themselves in the line of fire. Postal workers are not. Neither are streets and sanitation workers, park district employees, and other city workers who have to work under the constant threat of sudden deadly violence.

 

Politicians like Mayor Lori Lightfoot are paralyzed, trapped by their own anti-police rhetoric and naive beliefs about crime in Chicago. Many on the city council want to defund and defang the police. And activists want to bring the whole thing down.

 

The residents, cowering in their houses only want it all to stop.

Budget Office Releases Terrifying Long-Term Debt Forecast

 

Back in January, when the CBO presented its latest long-term debt forecast, we - and Albert Edwards - said that this was nothing short of a "ticking timebomb", one which convinced Albert Edwards shortly after that helicopter money was on its way. Just over a month later, this prediction came true when the Fed unleashed unlimited QE with the explicit intention of monetizing all near-term Treasury issuance in collaboration with the Treasury. The reason: the US economy was about to incur $3 trillion in debt to fund the biggest fiscal stimulus in US history, and much more to come after now that Magic Money Tree has been unleashed on the US with wide segments of the population now expecting Universal Basic Income for the foreseeable future.

 

Unfortunately, this also meant that the CBO's already catastrophic long-term debt forecast had become woefully outdated, which is why we were looking forward to today's latest Long-Term Budget Outlook report from the CBO.

 

It did not disappoint: as the CBO openly admits, now that the US has fully embraced helicopter money, "deficits grow from an average of 4.8 percent of GDP from 2010 to 2019 to an average of 10.9 percent from 2041 to 2050, driving up debt. Net spending for interest rises rapidly and accounts for much of the growth in total deficits in the last two decades of the projection period."

History: The Zionist Origins of Saudi Arabia and Its Royals

 

Part I

 

Recognizing the contentious nature of the subject, this two-part article relies only on official treatises, pacts and primary sourced evidence to compile a historically accurate account of the founding of Saudi Arabia and Al Saud family becoming ‘Royals’.

 

Growing up Muslim in a Muslim majority country, I spent most Friday afternoons at a mosque, attending the Jummah prayer. First part of a Jummah prayer calls for the Imam to perform a Khutbah – a weekly sermon of sorts. It was in one of those Khutbahs that I, as a very young boy, learnt about the plight of the Palestinians for the first time.

 

Indeed, it’s a common practice among Imams around the world to bring up the Palestinian issue at mosques, especially during Friday sermons, and pray for the Palestinian people. In those prayers and discussions, Israel’s name comes up inevitably. In fact, Israel’s oppression of Palestinians bears no ambiguity in Islamic thoughts. And condemnation of Israel, therefore, comes naturally to Muslims around the world.

 

However, what escapes awareness in almost all Muslims is the connection between Israel and Saudi Arabia. While zealously castigating Israel for its atrocities, Muslims often revere Saudi Arabia as the custodians of Islam’s holiest sites; completely ignoring the Kingdom’s role in founding the Zionist state in the first place.

 

Notwithstanding the existence of a deep-seated bias against Israel among Muslims, it’s important to recognize that the lack of criticism for Saudi Kingdom, alongside Israel, doesn’t come from bias. Indeed, this absence finds its roots not in bias, but in a complete lack of knowledge. Knowledge among current generation of Muslims, as well as among the world population, about how Saudi Arabia and its founding king, Abdel Aziz Ibn Saud, played a critical role in establishing the Zionist state of Israel.

 

Suffice it to say, this ignorance about one of the most critical periods in world history seems anything but normal. Amazingly, the world, especially the Muslim world, had been kept in darkness about this momentous chapter in Middle East history. Propaganda and omissions run rampant within the historical accounts of this period. Official Saudi sources like House of Saud website, for example, avoids any mention of British involvement in founding the KSA. Although this omission seems predictable to many, it’s worth noting that even mainstream media outlets like the BBC, and prominent historians such as Professor Eugene Rogan etc., routinely portray Ibn Saud as having acted independently during WWI, and not as an instrument for the British Empire.

 

Therefore, recognizing the contentious nature of the issue – and to avoid becoming yet another ‘perspective’ on the subject – this article relies only on primary sourced evidence and the following four official treatises and declarations to compile a historically accurate account of the events:

 

The McMahon-Hussain Correspondence

The Treaty of Darin

The Sykes-Picot Agreement

The Balfour Declaration

 

  1. The McMahon-Hussain Correspondence

 

To properly understand the events that led to the creation of both Israel and Saudi Arabia, we must travel back to the early 1900s’ Middle East. At the outbreak of WWI in the region, Sir Henry McMahon, then British High Commissioner in Egypt, offered Hussain bin Ali, Sharif of Hijaz (or ruler of the Hijaz – the western Arabian region in which Mecca and Medina lie), an independent Arab state if he would help the British fight against the Ottoman Empire. Hussein’s interest in throwing off his Turkish overlords converged with Britain’s war aim of defeating the Ottomans. McMahon made this offer via a series of letters exchanged between him and Sharif Hussain, collectively known as the McMahon-Hussain Correspondence. On his 14 July 1915 letter to McMahon, Hussain stated, among other things, the following as one of his propositions:

Facebook Says It Will Restrict Posting if Elections Cause ‘Unrest’

 

 

Facebook announced this week that it may restrict certain aspects of its platform following November’s general election as part of a larger effort to limit social unrest. A spokesperson for Facebook suggested that executives including Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg may censor specific information if they believe it is likely to heighten political tensions following the election.

 

According to a report by the Financial Times, Facebook announced this week that it will “restrict the circulation of content” following November’s election to curb violence and social unrest. The announcement follows efforts by Facebook to address concerns from those who have alleged that the platform aids in voter suppression and promotes election-misinformation.

 

Facebook Head of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said that the company is prepared to adopt a set of policies that are designed to decrease the likelihood of social unrest following November’s election.

“There are some break-glass options available to us if there really is an extremely chaotic and, worse still, violent set of circumstances,” Clegg said.

Clegg claims that Facebook has used similar protocols in other areas of the world to limit “We have acted aggressively in other parts of the world where we think that there is real civic instability and we obviously have the tools to do that [again],” Clegg said.

In Sri Lanka and Myanmar, Facebook limited the reach of posts made by users that violated the platform’s policies. In some cases, it limited post reach for users that had been found by Facebook to have repeatedly posted election-related misinformation even though they did not violate the platform’s hate speech rules.

Clegg admitted that high-ranking Facebook executives will be in charge of content censorship decisions. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will have the authority to censor posts if they believe they are likely to spread misinformation.

“We’ve slightly reorganized things such that we have a fairly tight arrangement by which decisions are taken at different levels [depending on] the gravity of the controversy attached,” Clegg said.

Breitbart News reported this week that Facebook had announced that it would stop promoting health-related groups to users to curb the spread of misinformation. Facebook has recently expressed concern about those who use the platform to spread anti-vaccination content.

 

Stay tuned to Breitbart News for more updates on this story.

Matt Gaetz: ‘Congress Not Going to Rein in Big Tech, Congress Owned by Big Tech’

 

Congress cannot be trusted to take on Big tech’s political censorship because Silicon Valley has purchased politicians’ compliance through lobbying, warned Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), author of Firebrand: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the MAGA Revolution, offering his comments on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

 

Gaetz stated, “Congress is not going to rein in big tech, because Congress is bought by big tech. There are just simply too many members of the House and Senate who are beholden to big tech either because of political donations or because their family members are getting employed by big tech.”

 

China similarly procures political influence across America by establishing financial ties — including employment — with the family members of politicians.

 

Gaetz added, “What we need is a focus on appointments to the FCC and to the FEC with people who understand the extent to which big tech bias is actually election interference and is also a violation of our communication standards and that they wouldn’t fall under certain liabilities under the Communications Decency Act.”

 

“Don’t count on Congress to ever solve this problem,” Gaetz said. “We need direct focus on the appointments to these boards, and it’s why the second term of President Trump is so important, because a lot of these boards have staggered terms.”

 

Marlow asked about birthright citizenship. He remarked, “Birthright citizenship has always been an absurd premise to me, that the location of a woman’s anatomy would determine whether or not an entire human being is an American. It makes a zero sense to me. How did it get that way and what can we do to work on that?”

 

Gaetz invited observers to consult the Claremonet Institute’s analysis of birthright citizenship.

 

Opposing views over birthright citizenship are reflective of a conflict within the Republican Party, Gaetz said. “Are we going to stay with the values of Trump — these America First values, where we hold precious that which is American, where we value it so highly that we wouldn’t allow it to be to be diffused or to be in any way neglected? Or are we going to go back to the invade-everywhere, invite-everyone approach of the Bushes and the Cheneys and the Romneys in the Kasichs?”

 

“Trump is the front end of the wave, and we need that next generation of leaders ready to step forward and grab that mantle,” added Gaetz.

 

Gaetz described political corruption he observed in Washington, D.C.

 

“I got to Washington and I was disgusted [with] the way it was straight up money for favors,” Gaetz said. “I felt like being a member of Congress would be like the noblest of professions, and it felt like the oldest profession, where you just pick up the money on the nightstand and do the bidding of the special interests, and what I saw in President Trump was this patriotic sincere desire to break through that nonsense and to actually frontload solutions that could help the American people.

USA Today: Supreme Court Vacancy Puts 2nd Amendment Front and Center

 

The Second Amendment is now front and center in the election according to a USA Today column focused on the vacancy Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death created on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

 

The column, written by Kevin Johnson, notes that President Trump was urging Americans to vote for him in order to save the Second Amendment prior to the current vacancy on the court. And now that the vacancy is present, Trump is using it to stress the “urgency” of having him in office to choose justices who will protect gun rights.

 

For example, on Friday in Minnesota Trump said, “Sleepy Joe is gonna take your guns away.” And on Sunday, after reports on Ginsburg’s death had saturated the news cycle for a weekend, Trump tweeted, “SAVE YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT, VOTE TRUMP.”

 

Johnson noted that gun control advocates have also upped their efforts in the wake of Ginsburg’s death, asking their followers to rally and vote in order to prevent the assembling of SCOTUS justices who may strike down gun controls around the country.

 

After Ginsburg’s death, Brady Campaign president Kris Brown said, “Make no mistake, gun safety is on the ballot in November.”

 

Brown lamented that work Ginsburg did as a “trailblazer” could be “overshadowed by the reality that her seat, and potentially the fate of sensible gun laws in America, now rests in the hands of (Republican) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump… Those laws and the hard-earned progress that activists and concerned Americans have won for generations are now in peril.”

 

One caveat with the article is that it downplays Biden’s gun control, suggesting Trump overstates matters when he claims Biden will “obliterate it to a point of no return or actually terminate it.”

 

On February 24, 2020, Breitbart News reported Biden using a South Carolina speech to reference gun manufacturers and say, “I’m going to take you down.” He said this while making clear his intention to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which shields gun makers from lawsuits tied to criminal use of guns that were legally made and legally sold.

 

On August 11, 2020–the day Biden announced Kamala Harris as his running mate–Breitbart News reported that the two aligned in their opposition to PLCAA and in their commitment to an “assault weapons” ban, universal background checks, preventing teachers from being armed for classroom defense, and enacting government-mandated buybacks of certain firearms.

Macron: Europe 'Will Not Compromise' With Washington on Iran Sanctions

 

French President Emmanuel Macron called for a "modern new consensus" on tackling global challenges in his speech to the 75th UN General Assembly on 22 September.

 

Europe will not compromise with the United States on Iran sanctions, French President Emmanuel Macron told the UN General Assembly by video.

 

"We will not compromise on the activation of a mechanism that the United States is not in a position to activate on its own after leaving the agreement. This would undermine the unity of the Security Council and the integrity of its decisions, and it would run the risk of further aggravating tensions in the region", he said.

 

He continued on by saying that US maximum pressure on Iran is not working.

 

"The maximum pressure strategy, which has been underway for several years, has not at this stage made it possible to end Iran's destabilising activities or to ensure that it will not be able to acquire nuclear weapons. This is why France, along with its German and British partners, will maintain its demand for the full implementation of the 2015 Vienna Agreement and will not accept the violations committed by Iran", he stated.

 

On 21 September, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order greenlighting severe economic penalties against foreign nations, corporations, and individuals that violate the UN arms embargo on Tehran. The Trump administration also announced on the same day new sanctions and export control measures on 27 entities and individuals connected to "Iran’s proliferation networks", among them nuclear scientists and a logistical branch of the Iranian military.

 

Washington said that it would enforce the reinstatement of international anti-Iranian sanctions, despite no backing for this at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

 

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on 19 September that the US would continue its "maximum pressure campaign" against Iran until a comprehensive agreement is reached.

US-China Power Struggle

 

Macron also mentioned that world leaders cannot let themselves be governed by the power struggle between the United States and China.

 

"The world today cannot be reduced to the rivalry between China and the United States, irrespective of the global weight of these great powers", he said.

 

The statement comes amid increasing tensions between the United States and China on several fronts. Relations between the two have seriously deteriorated over the past several years, with Washington accusing Beijing of unfair trade practices, an untransparent response to the novel coronavirus outbreak, human rights violations, and unwarranted territorial disputes with neighbouring countries.

 

China has denied the accusations and criticised the United States for various violations of international law.

Democrats Win Major Concessions on Vote-by-Mail from North Carolina in ‘Consent Decree’

 

Democrats won major concessions on Tuesday from state election authorities in North Carolina, who agreed to their demands to relax the rules on mail-in ballots.

 

In an agreement filed with the courts in North Carolina, the plaintiffs — a coalition of Democrat-aligned interest groups — agreed to settle their lawsuit against the state in return for allowing ballots to be counted up to nine days after Election Day; allowing voters to “cure” problems with submitted ballots; and creating ballot “drop-off” stations.

 

The motion for a consent decree states (citations included):

 

As set forth in the Consent Judgment and in the exhibits thereto, (Numbered Memos 2020-19, 2020-22, and 2020-23), all ballots postmarked by Election Day shall be counted if otherwise eligible and received up to nine days after Election Day, pursuant to Numbered Memo 2020-22. Numbered Memo 2020-19 implements a procedure to cure certain deficiencies with absentee ballots, including missing voter, witness, or assistant signatures and addresses. Finally, Numbered Memo 2020-23 instructs county boards to designate separate absentee ballot drop-off stations at all one-stop early voting locations and county board offices, through which voters and authorized persons may return absentee ballots in person.

 

Several other recent cases that were otherwise favorable to Democrats specifically rejected a special “cure” process, including the most recent judgment in a federal court in Wisconsin.

 

The North Carolina “cure” process will allow voters to re-submit ballots after Election Day. It is described as follows in the consent decree*:

 

For the 2020 elections, Executive Defendants shall institute a process to cure deficiencies that may be cured with a certification from the voter in accordance with the procedures set forth in Numbered Memo 2020-19 (attached as Exhibit B). Curable deficiencies include: no voter signature, misplaced voter signature, no witness or assistant name, no witness or assistant address, no witness or assistant signature, and misplaced witness or assistant signature. If a county board office receives a container-return envelope with such a curable deficiency, it shall contact the voter in writing by mail and, if available, email, within one business day of identifying the deficiency, informing the voter that there is an issue with their absentee ballot and enclosing a cure certification. The written notice shall be sent to the address to which the voter requested their ballot be sent. The cure certification must be received by the county board of elections by no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, 2020, the day before county canvass. The cure certification may be submitted to the county board office by fax, email, in person, or by mail or commercial carrier.

 

The consent decree also appears to allow “ballot harvesting” by third parties, requiring only that they provide an address and phone number when they return someone else’s ballot.

 

Democrat lawyer Marc Elias celebrated the outcome on Twitter as a “victory”:

 

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina agrees via guidance/ consent decree:

 

✅Count ballots postmarked by E-Day/received by 11/12.

✅Adopt a cure process for rejected absentees

✅Establish VBM drop-off stations

 

Victory for @MajorityFwd, @RedistrictFdn and NC voters.https://t.co/vEOxQIgmW8

Car Chase Ends with South Texas Human Stash House Raid

 

On Sunday morning, the Roma Police Department received a call from a concerned citizen observing people reportedly being smuggled into a residence located at the 400 block of Allende Avenue in that south Texas border town.

 

Roma PD officers responded and attempted to stop a vehicle leaving the scene. A short vehicle pursuit followed and ended in what is commonly referred to as a “bailout.” In essence, a fleeing vehicle abruptly stops and a large group of people flee on foot.

 

Roma officers, with the assistance of Border Patrol agents, apprehended 13 near the vehicle.

 

Back at the suspicious residence, authorities apprehended another 20 people concealed in the house. The windows were all covered and very little furniture was observed.

 

One federal agent told Breitbart Texas the address was being used as a warehouse to store people before they are smuggled further into the United States.

 

The agent advised that most people who illegally enter the U.S. in this area are now running from law enforcement after crossing, compared to what was observed in 2019 when large groups surrendered directly to agents on U.S. soil.

Putin offers UN staff FREE DOSE of Russia’s Sputnik V jab as he calls for global meeting on Covid-19 vaccine

 

Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for a top-level conference on joint global development of a Covid-19 vaccine. He also offered UN staff a dose of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine for free.

 

The UN General Assembly, held in a coronavirus-appropriate virtual format, kicked off on Tuesday. Putin delivered a speech during its morning session, largely focusing on the ongoing pandemic.

 

"We've all faced a fundamentally new challenge – the coronavirus pandemic. The disease directly affected millions of people, [and] claimed the most precious thing – hundreds of thousands of human lives. Quarantines, the closure of borders, creation of numerous problems for citizens of almost all countries – all these things are the reality today," Putin said.

 

All world leaders interested in cooperation on the development of a Covid-19 vaccine should meet and discuss fending off the deadly disease and making the jab freely accessible to everyone, he said, calling it the top priority for the whole of humankind. Russia was the first in the world to register a vaccine – Sputnik V, which has proven to be "reliable, safe and effective" – and is ready to provide all the assistance needed, Putin stressed.

 

We are absolutely open and committed to partnership. In this regard, we are coming with an initiative to hold a high-level online conference in the nearest future with states interested in cooperation in the development of vaccines against coronavirus.

 

Noting that the disease has already affected UN staff, Putin then offered the organization help in battling the virus. He said that Moscow is ready to provide free Sputnik V shots to any UN staffers willing to be vaccinated, adding that Russia has already received some requests from their UN colleagues.

 

The Sputnik V vaccine is currently undergoing large-scale final trials. Tens of thousands of Russians and foreigners have volunteered to take part in the pilot immunization program. Several world nations, including Russia’s CSTO partners, India and the Philippines, have showed interest in procuring the vaccine.

UAE & US seek to reach preliminary F-35 deal by December, circumventing Israeli objections – report

 

The UAE and the US may come to an initial agreement on F-35 fighter jet purchase by early December, as Washington is studying options by which it can circumvent Israel’s firm opposition to such a sale.

 

The apparent progress on the talks about procurement of the 5th-generation jet was reported by Reuters on Tuesday. Sources close to the negotiations said the two sides are planning to have a letter of agreement in place before UAE National Day, on December 2.

 

Israel’s staunch opposition to the UAE’s procurement of the planes remains the main obstacle for the deal, while the US’ own laws make it even trickier. Washington’s foreign policy includes the so-called qualitative military edge restriction. The latter restricts sales of advanced military equipment to potential adversaries of Israel, allowing that nation to fend off multiple foes at once through technological superiority.

 

The US administration, however, is reportedly exploring what options it has to push the sale through without angering its long-term Middle East ally. Those include ways to make the F-35 more visible to Israeli radar systems, two sources told Reuters.

 

It’s not immediately clear how this can be achieved, however, as low observability – that is, stealth – is its primary selling point. Making the aircraft more visible would require either constructing a special, less stealthy version specifically for the UAE or somehow upgrading the already advanced Israeli radar systems.

 

Neither the UAE nor Washington responded to Reuters’ request for comments, while the Pentagon told the agency that “as a matter of policy, the United States does not confirm or comment on proposed defense sales or transfers until they are formally notified to Congress.”

 

The Gulf state has been trying to procure the advanced aircraft for years, but speculation about the potential purchase were reinvigorated in recent weeks, after the Arab nation formally normalized its relations with Israel. The peace deal is also set to kickstart broad trade ties between the former rivals.

 

Last week, the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, said the signing of the deal should dispel “any grain of doubt” in Israel about the UAE buying the jets. US President Donald Trump, for his part, said he would have no objection to selling the jets to the emirate, nor to other nations in the Middle East, as long as it would be beneficial for his country and the American job market.

 

Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has voiced open opposition towards the potential UAE-US deal, insisting it was not mentioned in any fashion during the negotiations on the peace deal.

 

“The peace agreement with the UAE does not include any clauses on the matter, and the US clarified to Israel that it will always safeguard Israel’s qualitative edge,” he said back in August.
