FCC Gets Loads Of Complaints Over Super Bowl Halftime Show – “Had To Turn Off The TV”

Some Americans were not happy with the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show.

According to a new report, the Federal Communications Commission received over one hundred complaints over Rihanna’s halftime show.

This is more than Sam Smith’s “satanic” performance at the Grammys.

The Hill reported:

Rihanna’s halftime show at Super Bowl LVII elicited more complaints from TV viewers than Sam Smith and Kim Petras’s controversial performance at the Grammy Awards.

The “Diamonds” singer’s halftime spectacle at State Farm Stadium in Arizona earlier this month drew 102 complaints to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), according to records obtained by The Hill as part of a Freedom of Information Act request.

…

While this year’s Super Bowl-related complaints topped 100, the Grammy Awards earlier this month also drew plenty of protests, with virtually all of its 87 FCC complaints focused on Smith and Petras’s “satanic” performance of their hit song, “Unholy.” Smith sported a red top hat with horns as Petras belted out the tune from inside a cage, as dancers grasped whips and fire erupted from the stage.

One viewer said, “this year the halftime show was so indecent I had to turn off the TV because of the pornographic content.”

Another one called it “patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children.”

Fox News reported:

The Federal Communications Commission received over 100 complaints after the big game, many related to pop and R&B singer Rihanna’s performance. Some viewers claiming the show was “overtly sexual” in nature, TMZ reported.

Others believed some of the dance moves “were patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children.”

WHO raises alarm over bird flu

The global health watchdog described the situation as “worrying” as news spread of a girl dying in Cambodia after contracting the virus

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning amid a recent uptick in cases of avian flu (H5N1) in Cambodia. Authorities in the Southeast Asian country recently reported that two individuals had contracted the disease, with one eventually succumbing to it.

Speaking to reporters during a virtual briefing on Friday, Dr Sylvie Briand, the WHO’s director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, described the latest trends in the spread of the virus as “worrying.” She also said the organization was reviewing its global risk assessment.

“WHO takes the risk from this virus seriously and urges heightened vigilance from all countries,” the official noted.

According to Briand, apart from a growing number of cases in birds, a similar situation is being witnessed in mammals, including humans.

On Thursday, Cambodian authorities reported that an 11-year-old girl had died of bird flu, with her father also testing positive. Their contacts are currently being checked.

Commenting on the case, Briand pointed out that it is not yet clear whether there had actually been any human-to-human transmission or if the two individuals had contracted the virus simply due to their “exposure to the same environmental conditions,” that is, close contact with infected birds or other animals.

The WHO representative told journalists that the organization is in close contact with the Cambodian authorities for any updates.

While H5N1 has been around for more than two decades now, a new strain named clade 2.3.4.4b emerged in 2020, leading to record numbers of deaths among wild birds and domestic poultry alike in recent months.

The data gathered so far indicates that the novel subtype does not typically cause significant illness in humans. To date, the WHO knows of a mere half dozen cases, most of them mild.

Earlier this month, the organization ranked the risk posed to humans by H5N1 as low.

St. Louis Area Judges Recuse Themselves from Kim Gardner Corruption Case – Enables Them to Testify Against Failed Soros-Funded Circuit Attorney

The Missouri Supreme Court on Friday appointed Judge John P. Torbitzky of the Eastern District of Missouri Court of Appeals to adjudicate the legal action by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to remove St. Louis circuit attorney Kim Gardner from her elected position as St. Louis Circuit Attorney. The Soros-funded Circuit Attorney refuses to perform the duties of her position. The homicide rate and car thefts in St. Louis rival the numbers from any major city in a third-world country. Gardner refuses to prosecute criminals and releases dangerous criminals on the street. And at the same time, she throws out court cases because she says the police are racist.

The final straw was last weekend when repeat offender, 21-year-old Daniel Riley, who had been out on bail after violating his bond multiple times, struck teenager Janae Edmondson in a wreck. The young teen volleyball sensation lost both of her legs as she was walking from a volleyball tournament with her parents in downtown St. Louis. Janee had a scholarship to play volleyball in college. Daniel Riley had violated his bond over 100 times and yet was still roaming the streets of St. Louis.

On Thursday St. Louis City judges asked the state Supreme Court to be excluded from deciding whether to keep Kim Gardner on as Circuit Attorney. This frees them up to testify against Kim Gardner in her case.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported:

City judges asked the Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday to be excluded from deciding whether St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner should be removed from office, arguing they had a conflict of interest.

Presiding Judge Elizabeth Hogan filed the request hours after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit in St. Louis accusing Gardner of negligence in office and asking her to be removed from her post.

Hogan said all judges on the court’s advisory committee could be called to testify during the proceedings and therefore couldn’t preside over the case, according to the filing.

In August 2018 Kim Gardner announced her attorneys will no longer accept cases from 28 different St. Louis City police officers. Gardner called it her “exclusion list” because they were racist.

Gardner did not tell the officers what they did to get on her list but they were being censored.

in 2019 Gardner refused to charge a drug dealer who was found with 1,000 opiate pills and 30,000 in cash because she didn’t like the cop involved.

Gardner lied about Governor Eric Greitens case, committed over 60 acts of misconduct in the case, and got away with it.

In 2020 Kim Gardner dropped the case against a suspect who shot another man in a traffic dispute in broad daylight.

Ukrainian Politician Says US Should Give Her Nation $500 BILLION With Assets Seized From Russian Oligarchs

A Ukrainian politician is doing what they seem to do best — sticking her hand out to ask the US for more money.

Kira Rudik, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, said during an interview with Fox News that the US should give her nation more aid with the assets seized from Russian oligarchs.

According to Rudik, the amount of money from the assets would total more than $500 billion.

Rudik pointed out that Congress has already approved any money seized from Russians being sent overseas for Ukranian defense.

“So we are waiting for it to be sent, but we need to go further and actually execute on this legislation, because I believe it will be the fair and logical thing to do,” she said.

The Hill reports that “her remarks come as federal prosecutors are looking to seize six properties located in Florida and New York owned by Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg. The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York alleged in a complaint on Friday that the properties were involved in sanctions evasion and money laundering.”

“Some Republicans have voiced opposition to providing further financial support to Ukraine, saying that U.S. money should be used for domestic concerns,” the report continued. “But Rudik said taking the money from the Russian sources will help the public avoid having to pay the costs of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.”

Rudik received the “Women In Politics Champion of the Year Award” from The Alliance of Her last year. She has become a media darling in the US — frequently appearing on both right-wing and liberal media to beg for cash.

“Taxpayers of the countries that support us should not be paying for Putin’s crimes, should not be,” Rudik said. “Putin should be paying for his own deeds.”

In just one year of conflict, the Biden administration and Congress have directed nearly more than $75 billion to Ukraine.

Traitor Mike Pence: ‘I’m Confident We’ll Have Better Choices Than My Old Running Mate’

Former Vice President Mike Pence is once against taking jabs at President Donald Trump.

This time, the RINO told NBC News‘ Ali Vitali that “I’m confident we’ll have better choices than my old running mate.”

“I think the times call for different leadership. I’m confident we’ll have better choices than my old running mate,” said Pence, adding that Americans “want to see us and our politics return to the kind of civility and respect that Americans show one another every day.”

“I’m very confident that Republican primary voters are going to choose the right standard bearer for this moment in our nation’s history,” he continued. “Someone that can provide not only the policies in leadership but the style of leadership that will help bring our nation back.”

Pence has been flirting with the idea of challenging Trump in 2024, though he has not formally announced a campaign.

“I think by the spring our family expects to have a very clear sense of our calling,” Pence said when asked when he will make a decision about a run for the presidency.

In November, Pence had told the Associated Press that he and his family would gather over the holidays “and we’ll give prayerful consideration to what our role might be in the days ahead.”

“It wasn’t exactly the style of presidency that I would have advanced had I been the first name on the ballot,” Pence said of his time as Trump’s VP during the AP interview. “But it was his presidency and I was there to support him and help him. And until that fateful day in January 2021, I sought to do just that.”

Biden’s Supreme Court Commission Under Investigation for Ties to Democrat Court-Packing Advocates

The left’s court-packing scheme is under investigation.

Letters were sent out to Robert Bauer and Cristina Rodriguez, the former leaders of Biden’s now-defunct Supreme Court commission, requesting documents and communications.

In the letters, GOP lawmakers said, “questions remain about the Commission’s work, deliberations, and true purpose.”

The Hill reported:

Republican lawmakers on Friday requested the co-chairs of President Biden’s Supreme Court commission turn over a trove of documents related to their work.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and two former Senate Judiciary Committee chairs, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), pointed in their letters to growing calls from progressives to add more justices to the Supreme Court.

“While the Commission’s work has concluded, questions remain about the Commission’s work, deliberations, and true purpose,” the lawmakers wrote.

Facing pressure from the left, Biden tasked the 34-member bipartisan commission with exploring possible court reforms. The group disbanded in late 2021, after issuing a report expressing “profound disagreement” on controversial proposals like court packing.

The lawmakers want to know what discussions took place that did not make it into the final report released by the commission.

The Washington Examiner reported:

The trio of lawmakers acknowledged the final report avoided an embrace of “packing” the Supreme Court but outlined their concerns about some members on the commission, including Georgetown Law professor Caroline Fredrickson, who they said “continued to publicly advocate for packing the Court” after the report was released in December 2021.

The letters request documents about a range of discussions had by the commission that were not included in the final report, such as communications with all of its members, including academic colleagues and assistants, whether there were communications with top Justice Department officials, communications with potential members who weren’t appointed, and whether there were any communications with liberal or Democratic-aligned organizations such as the American Constitution Society and Demand Justice, among others.

No Evidence Ukraine Misuses US Assistance, Biden Admin Official Says

A top Biden administration official who leads the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said there’s no evidence Ukraine misuses the tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars provided in direct financial assistance.

“Up until this point, we don’t have any evidence that U.S. assistance is being misused or misspent but, again, the key is not resting on anybody’s goodwill or virtue,” USAID Administrator Samantha Power said during a CNN live town hall on Thursday.

Power’s comments came the night before the Biden administration announced $2 billion in new military aid to Ukraine on the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion on Friday.

The latest tranche brings the total amount of U.S. taxpayer funded military aid provided to Kyiv in the past 12 months to $32 billion, roughly five times Ukraine’s annual military budget.

In total military and humanitarian aid, the United States has given over $100 billion to Ukraine in the last 12 months.

Some Republicans have raised doubts about the continued U.S. support for Ukraine, which has been plagued with corruption in the past, and questioned how the money sent there is being used.

Power said that Ukraine had improved its efforts to eliminate corruption, and officials are constantly monitoring the appropriate use of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Addressing a question about Ukraine’s history of corruption, Power said, “It’s checks and balances, the rule of law, the integrity of officials.” She said this was critical to her confidence in the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Acknowledging the country’s history of corruption, Power said that the U.S. Government Accountability Office launched a new initiative to help Ukraine expand its auditing institution, which she said will be needed to reconstruct Ukraine. She also said the United States only reimburses Ukraine for its spending when officials see a receipt for an expenditure.

Decorated Navy SEAL dies in parachute training accident; family devastated

A Navy SEAL died Sunday after a military freefall parachute training accident in Arizona, Military.com reported.

"Navy SEAL Mike Ernst was a courageous warrior, loving husband, devoted father, and steadfast teammate to his fellow SEALs," Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a retired Navy rear admiral tweeted Friday.

"Mike tragically died in a military parachute training accident while serving his country," Jackson added.

Chief Special Warfare Operator Michael T. Ernst died following a "military freefall training accident," on Sunday, February 19, Lt. Cmdr. Kara Handley, a Navy spokeswoman, told Military.com. Handley also told the outlet Ernst died in Marana, Arizona, and that his death is under investigation.

Ernst was pronounced dead at Banner University Medical Center near Tuscon after the training, Naval Special Warfare Command told NBC News in a statement.

Details are scant, and Naval Warfare Command has declined to comment further, telling outlets "It would be inappropriate to comment further on the ongoing investigation until complete."

Ernst, who was based in Hampton Roads, Virginia, was a Chief Special Warfare Operator, WTKR reported.He had been in the Navy since 2009, and was assigned to the East Coast special warfare unit for the bulk of his service, Military Times reported.

U.S. Defense Dept Purchased Chinese IT Equipment with Known Vulnerabilities for Use at Sensitive Base.

NEW INFORMATION REVEALS HOW CHINA HAS BEEN INFILTRATING SENSITIVE U.S. LOCATIONS FOR YEARS.

Yet another Chinese Communist Party-linked company has been supplying technology to critical entities within the broader U.S. national security apparatus, The National Pulse can report.

In a previous investigation, it was revealed that smart TVs manufactured by the Chinese government were being sold on U.S. military bases and were potentially sending data on millions of Americans back to China. This followed another National Pulse story that exposed a Silicon Valley tech startup that was sharing massive amounts of Americans’ personal data with Chinese state-owned firms.

Now, it has been discovered that TP-Link – one of the top manufacturers of internet routers and other electronic devices in the world – have been discovered to have many security vulnerabilities. The U.S. Government’s National Institute for Science & Technology (NIST) maintains a database of such vulnerabilities and the list for TP-Link is extensive.

TP-LINK DEVICES IN THE UNITED STATES.

A review of the online retail websites for United States military exchanges, the retail stores located on American military bases worldwide, shows multiple TP-Link devices being sold. This has the potential for an enormous risk of data compromise and should be considered a matter of national security. The Army & Air Force Exchange Service, which also serves the Space Force, currently lists 28 TP-Link devices through its online store. The Navy Exchange lists 13 TP-Link devices on its site. No TP-Link devices were found listed on the Marine Corps Exchange or Coast Guard Exchange websites.

In addition to online sales and retail stores on military bases, a review of federal contracts through the website USASpending.gov reveals purchases of TP-Link equipment by the Department of Defense for operational purposes.

For example, one contract from 2021 was awarded to FCI Tech for $174,195. The transaction description simply says “TP-Link.” Another 2021 DOD contract was awarded to FCN, Inc. for $6,287 and included an order for “4 TP-Link non-cellular ethernet wireless routers.” Later in the year, another contract with FCN for 4 more TP-Link routers was awarded for $138. The contract award specifies the model of router was the TL-WR902AC. In 2022, a critical vulnerability report was published in the NIST Vulnerability Database regarding this particular model stating, “This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code.”

The agency within DOD that awarded these particular contracts was the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) located at Fort Meade in Maryland, which is also home to U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency (NSA), and other military intelligence units. According to an article from 2020, DISA has planned to partner more with the intelligence community, particularly the NSA, on cyber capabilities. They may want to start with not purchasing vulnerable Chinese equipment.

Four additional contracts between 2021-2022 totaling $9,703 were awarded for purchases of TP-Link equipment by the Defense Logistics Agency. In 2017, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center purchased 8 fiber network converters made by TP-Link. In 2014, NASA purchased 3 TP-Link power over ethernet injectors for Kennedy Space Center. As TP-Link is one of the most popular brands of networking products, there are likely many more such devices throughout the government, however, the examples listed above were specifically noted in publicly available contract documents.

‘Sound like Mickey Mouse’: East Palestine residents’ shock illnesses after derailment

EAST PALESTINE, OHIO – Wade Lovett’s been having trouble breathing since the Feb. 3 Norfolk South train derailment and toxic explosion here. In fact, his voice sounds as if he’s been inhaling helium.

“Doctors say I definitely have the chemicals in me but there’s no one in town who can run the toxicological tests to find out which ones they are,” Lovett, 40, an auto detailer, said in an extremely high-pitched voice. “My voice sounds like Mickey Mouse. My normal voice is low. It’s hard to breathe, especially at night. My chest hurts so much at night I feel like I’m drowning. I cough up phlegm a lot. I lost my job because the doctor won’t release me to go to work.”

Despite his health woes, Lovett and his fiancée, Tawnya Irwin, 45, spent last Thursday delivering bottled water to locals. They picked up new cases outside a home on East Clark Street which has become the heart of East Palestine’s homegrown campaign to fight back against the forces that upended the lives of roughly 4,700 residents and their animals.

Locals are frustrated and furious over what they say has been a lack of real information and help from both local officials and the Biden Administration. Last week, East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway ripped President Biden for heading to Ukraine for a surprise visit instead of the scene of the toxic train derailment, calling it “the biggest slap in the face.”

Leading the charge to fight for the community is 46-year-old Jami Cozza, a lifelong East Palestinian who counts 47 close relatives here. Many of them are facing health issues from the chemical fire as well as the psychic toll of their town becoming, in the words of a scientist visiting the area Thursday, the new “Love Canal” — a reference to the Niagara Falls, NY, neighborhood that became a hotbed issue in 1978 because people were getting sick from living above a contaminated waste dump.

Although famed environmental activist Erin Brockovich held a town hall Friday night, many locals say the fierce and forceful Cozza beat her to the punch.

“I’ve known Jami my whole life and she is very sharp,” Jason Trosky, 47, a lifelong East Palestine resident, told The Post. “We’re lucky to have her. Brockovich came with her lawyer in tow. Will she help? Maybe, but she’s also trying to stay relevant. Jami will be here for us after the circus leaves town.”

Cozza, 46, who’s lived in this small Ohio Valley village near the Pennsylvania border for most of her life, has her work cut out for her.

Her eyes fill with tears when she talks about how her 91-year-old widowed grandmother tried to clean the chemicals off the furniture in the house she’s lived in for 56 years — before giving up and moving to a hotel room where she can’t sleep at night.

Mike Lindell Vows To Sue Kevin McCarthy For Only Letting Tucker Carlson See J6 Footage

Lindell contested McCarthy's move was a violation of the freedom of the press provision in the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection clause.

House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has come under fire for not allowing the general public to view footage from the Jan. 6th protests.

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow told Steve Bannon he intends to sue Rep. McCarthy over his decision which exclusively gave Fox News’ Tucker Carlson access to Jan. 6 footage.

Lindell contested that McCarthy’s move was a violation of the freedom of the press provision in the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

The MyPillow CEO went on to suggest Fox News can not be trusted to report the truth about what is in that footage. “Why does just Fox get this? So they can cover it up even more? It’s disgusting. All of us, including War Room, we all need to see what’s on those tapes, and we need to see all of them.”

Lindell argued his network was “injured” by not having access to the over 40,000 hours worth of Jan. 6 content. He went on to say he will not allow Fox News to be a “filter to the world in their exclusive Jan. 6 coverage. “Fox News will get to put out whatever they see fit. We don’t even know what they’re filtering! Really? Fox is going to be the filter to the world? Not gonna happen on my watch!”

Zelensky: America Will ‘Lose NATO’ and Global Leadership Role if it Stops Funding War in Ukraine

Zelensky: America Will ‘Lose NATO’ and Global Leadership Role if it Stops Funding War in Ukraine

“If they do not change their opinion, if they do not understand us, if they do not support Ukraine, they will lose NATO, they will lose the clout of the United States, they will lose the leadership position that they enjoy in the world,” Zelesnky warned.

“They will also lose the support of [Ukraine] with 40 million people, with millions of children. Are American children any different than ours?” he demanded.

According to a Gallup poll earlier this month, nearly half of Republican respondents (47 per cent) believe that the Biden administration is doing too much to support Ukraine. In contrast, 41 per cent of Democrats said that they think the United States is not doing enough, while independents are currently evenly split, with 35 per cent coming down on each side of the issue.

3 Separate Oil Facilities Explode Suddenly in 24 Hours

Three oil facilities in separate locations across Mexico and the United States have suffered huge fires after sudden explosions, according to reports.

The explosions all occurred in the space of 24 hours.

All three facilities, including one in Texas, are controlled by the state-owned Mexican oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

On Thursday, three separate fires broke out at PEMEX facilities, resulting in the deaths of two workers, Bloomberg reported.

At least eight people were also injured and several others are missing.

The explosions have resulted in increased scrutiny of the safety record of the Mexican state oil firm in advance of its earnings call on Monday.

The fires broke out at the PEMEX crude oil storage facility in Veracruz, Mexico, at the Combined Maya plant of the Minatitlán Refinery in Veracruz, and in Deer Creek, Texas.

One of the Veracruz locations hit by an explosion is Mexico’s largest oil storage facility.

On Friday morning, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Mexico’s president, said at a press conference that the fire at the Minatitlan refinery was immediately brought under control.

However, he noted that the fire at the Ixhuatlan storage facility has not yet been extinguished.

Rep. Andrew Clyde: Do Not Register AR Pistols with ATF

Breitbart News sat down for an exclusive interview with Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) Friday, during which he made clear his hope that Americans will remove stabilizer braces from their AR pistols, making them ATF compliant, rather than register them with the ATF.

Clyde stressed his concern that the ATF is actively trying to form a database of gun owners and his belief that stabilizer brace registration is simply one more way the agency can get gun owners’ names on a list.

He said, “Take the brace off, so registration is not a requirement.”

Clyde continued, “It is so outlandish that ATF is doing is. They have violated the law–they have violated the constitution, which is law. I am confident this stabilizer brace rule will be shot down and I don’t want it to take six years, like it did with the bump stock issue. So, in the meantime, I don’t want people to run afoul of ATF, because they have the resources of the government and individuals generally do not have the ability to withstand those kind of resources being brought against them.”

He added, “So, I would recommend people remove the braces, and that complies with one of the options that ATF provided for complying with their rule. And this is a way to comply without being on the database, because this is truly, in my opinion, simply a way for ATF to register more citizens who own firearms.”

Clyde noted that structure of the ATF registration process includes having each owner of an AR pistol with a stabilizer brace create a digital profile and register the firearm via eForms. He then observed, “In other words, it is not just that ATF is trying to register gun owners but they actually having the gun owners do the work for them.”

He concluded, “It’s unconscionable that ATF is doing is. And people shouldn’t willfully assist them in doing what is wrong.”

On February 10, 2023, Breitbart News reported Clyde’s initial takeaways following the publication of the ATF’s stabilizer brace ban. He discussed his plans to block the ATF pistol brace rule and shared his conviction that the Biden Department of Justice “doesn’t want an armed citizenry” in the first place.

Canada Moves Toward Assisted Suicide For Minors, Critics Erupt

Canada is considering allowing terminally ill children to end their lives through assisted suicide, prompting outrage from critics, who called the plan “horrible.”

This month, a Canadian parliamentary committee recommended that “mature minors” should be able to euthanize themselves, even without parental consent, through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program if their deaths are “reasonably foreseeable.”

Canada’s government should “amend the eligibility criteria for MAID set out in the Criminal Code to include minors deemed to have the requisite decision-making capacity upon assessment,” stated the much-anticipated report from the Special Joint Committee on MAiD.

Parents must be consulted during the assessment for their child’s assisted suicide, but the “will of the minor” will “ultimately take priority,” the report recommended.

The House of Commons will discuss the report over the next few months.

The law could be changed as soon as this year to include terminally sick and disabled kids.

In the meantime, critics are skewering the proposal.

“I think it’s horrible,” Amy Hasbrouck of the anti-MAiD group Not Dead Yet told The Daily Mail.

“Teenagers are not in a good position to judge whether to commit suicide or not,” she added. “Any teenagers with a disability, who’s constantly told their life is useless and pitiful, will be depressed, and of course they’re going to want to die.”

Another advocate said Canada has been on a “slippery slope” to rampant assisted suicide since 2016, when the law took effect.

“We said we were going to have safeguards and guardrails, but the next government can simply open it up further by making a decision — and that’s exactly what’s happening,” said Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.

About 10,000 adults ended their lives in 2021 through MAiD, according to Canada’s health department. That number has increased each year since 2016, when just over 1,000 people committed suicide through the program.

Conservative committee members dissented in the report, saying they do not support minors being permitted to make the decision to end their lives. One of the most significant issues is the “decision-making capacity” of children, whose brains are not fully developed, they pointed out, not to mention the practical challenges to assessing an individual child’s maturity.

“So long as these issues remain unresolved, it would be irresponsible for the Liberal government to move ahead with any expansion of MAID for mature minors,” Conservative members of the panel said. “Minors are a uniquely vulnerable group, having regard for their level of cognitive development.”

The committee also heard from witnesses who pointed out that children are vulnerable to external pressure and influence. Witnesses also pointed out that children are already permitted to halt their own treatment, which can mean they die sooner.

Back in November, a Canadian man went viral online when he said he was considering committing assisted suicide through MAiD because he feared he would soon be homeless. The 54-year-old lives with agonizing chronic back pain due to an accident several years ago.

However, after strangers who were moved by his story donated more than $60,000 to help him, he changed his mind.

“I’m a different person,” he told a Canadian outlet. “The first time we spoke, I had nothing but darkness, misery, stress and hopelessness. Now I have all the opposite of those things.”

EU introduces restrictions against 87 private individuals, 34 legal entities

According to it, all the blacklisted individuals and entities are responsible for "undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine"

The European Union has introduced its 10th sanctions package which included a number of Russian officials, public figures, banks and agencies, according to the Official Journal of the EU which published the relevant normative acts on Saturday.

According to it, all the blacklisted individuals and entities are responsible for "undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine."

EU blacklists includes Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff, Rosbank.

Blacklisted media structures included the Rossiya Segodnya and Sputnik news agencies while their Arabic-language services were banned from broadcasting in the EU.

In all, 33 Russian companies were included in the sanctions list mostly representing the military-industrial complex, such as Almaz-Antey and Rosatom’s Atomflot. The sanctions list also includes a transport company from the UAE.

Sanctions against Wagner PMC

The EU also introduced sanctions against Wagner PMC.

"The Wagner Group’s activities are a threat for the people in the countries where they operate and the European Union. They endanger international peace and security as they do not operate within any legal framework. The EU is determined to continue taking tangible action against breaches to international law. We stand up for human rights everywhere," the official website of the European Council quoted EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell as saying.

WEF Orders World Governments To Begin ‘Severely Rationing Meat and Fuel’ To Usher In The Great Reset

The globalists at the World Economic Forum have instructed governments worldwide to begin severely rationing meat and fuel in an acceleration towards their Great Reset agenda.

According to a study conducted by globalist-aligned academics, World War II-style rationing is the answer to the so-called climate crisis.

Thenationalpulse.com reports: The authors believe a rationing scheme would be more equitable than individual allowances, because unlike carbon taxes and carbon-credit schemes – both of which have been proposed in response to climate change – rationing would not allow the rich to “buy their way out”.

A rationing scheme could also have broader applications, the researchers claim. “The concept of rationing could help, not only in the mitigation of climate change,” says joint lead author Dr Nathan Wood, “but also in reference to a variety of other social and political issues – such as the current energy crisis.”

He added:

“The cost of living crisis has shown what happens when scarcity drives up prices, with energy prices rising steeply and leaving vulnerable groups unable to pay their bills. Currently, those living in energy poverty cannot use anywhere near their fair share of energy supply, whereas the richest in society are free to use as much energy as they can afford.”

Although the study is nothing more than a piece of research at this stage, that could change very quickly, especially as we near 2030, a key date for the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accords. It is already clear that the world will not meet its commitments.

15 MINUTE CITIES.

New schemes are already being implemented to limit personal mobility and consumption, and there will surely be more to come. Recent proposals for so-called “15-minute cities” have drawn widespread criticism across the world, including in cities such as Oxford, where pilot tests are due to take place.

From 2024, Oxford will be divided into a series of six separate “neighbourhoods” by the local council, with car-travel between them heavily restricted and subject to fines if unauthorised.

Residents of the city will be able to apply for special permits to allow them to drive into other neighbourhoods for up to 100 days a year. Otherwise, they must use public transport, bike or walk in order to move from one neighbourhood to another.

At the same time, the anxiety and catastrophism about the effects of climate change is increasing, or being increased. At the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos a few weeks ago, “climate migration” was one of the main talking-points.

“OVER 30 MILLION LETHAL DOSES” – Phoenix DEA, Tempe Police Seize OVER 4.5 Million Fentanyl Pills, 140lbs Fentanyl Powder 3,000 Lbs of Meth, 130kg cocaine in Joint Operation

Tempe Police Interim Chief Josie Montenegro, Phoenix DEA Special Agent in Charge Cheri Oz, and questionably elected Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes held a joint press conference Thursday to discuss the massive narcotic seizures in the Phoenix area, including over four and a half million fentanyl pills and over 140 pounds of fentanyl powder.

These dangerous drugs primarily come from criminal illegal drug traffickers with the Sinaloa Cartel, says Cheri Oz.

It is unclear how many narcotics were seized in 2023 to date. “These seizures have occurred over a period of time of just over three years, and the investigations stem from the city of Tempe. The majority of our seizures have occurred locally. But, all the seizures that you do see have occurred within the state of Arizona,” said Interim Chief Josie Montenegro.

Montenegro continued, “the sample you see here today is staggering. There are over four and a half million fentanyl pills, over 140 pounds of fentanyl powder, over 135 kilos of cocaine, over 3000 pounds of methamphetamines, 35 kilos of heroin, 49 firearms, and over 2 million in cash.”
