White House 'Deeply Troubled' As Georgia Enacts Law To Thwart NGO 'Interference'

 

Defying large domestic protests and condemnation from the United States and other Western governments, the Republic of Georgia's parliament on Tuesday adopted a "foreign agents" law that would impede foreign nongovernmental organizations' (NGOs') ability to operate in the country – and put Georgia's European Union and NATO ambitions in jeopardy.

 

Georgia's president, Salome Zourabichvili, has vowed to veto the measure, but the parliament approved the law by a 84-30 margin, only needs 76 to override a veto.After the law's passage, Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters:

 

"We’re deeply troubled by Georgia’s Kremlin-style 'foreign agents' legislation…we have been outspoken about our concerns with the legislation, which runs counter to democratic values and would move Georgia further away from the values of the European Union and, let’s not forget, also NATO."

Agent Provocateurs Exposed: Zionists That Sparked UCLA Violence Still Haven't Been Arrested

 

The Grayzone has obtained a dossier detailing the identities of the Zionist hooligans who assaulted UCLA anti-genocide student protesters. It was sent to LA police, but no arrests have been made. And the cops still can’t explain why they disappeared for hours during the mob attack.

 

On April 30, thirty people were injured when a mob of Zionist hooligans savagely assaulted the pro-Palestine UCLA encampment shortly before midnight. For over three hours, local and campus police stood down as the masked thugs assaulted students, journalists, and even officers of the law with fireworks volleys, pepper spray, and metal pipes. Though multiple attackers have been identified by community members on social media, to date there have been no arrests of pro-Israel goons.

 

The Grayzone has obtained a dossier composed by anonymous sleuths claiming involvement with the UCLA student protests which apparently identifies some of the attack’s perpetrators. The students emailed the document to the UCLA administration and police (UCPD), as well as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. It contains detailed information about the identities of those who were filmed carrying out wanton violence.

 

Los Angeles-area police have arrested droves of students protesting Israel’s US-backed genocide in Gaza, accusing over 40 students and journalists of “conspiracy to commit burglary” for attempting a sit-in on school grounds. Yet local authorities have made a grand total of zero arrests in the coordinated Zionist mob assault against UCLA anti-genocide protesters on April 30.

 

The LA Times has reported that local law enforcement is relying on sophisticated facial recognition technology to hunt down the attackers. But as the UCLA sleuths’ dossier makes clear, many assailants have already been identified by matching their identities with social media profiles.

 

The UCPD and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department did not respond to questions from The Grayzone about whether the persons identified in the dossier were under investigation, or had been taken into custody.

 

Alleged attackers listed in the email include:

 

Liel Asherian. Asherian, who uploaded videos directly from the scene of the attack to Facebook, was reportedly seen assaulting pro-Palestine demonstrators with a tennis racket. In an interview with the New York Times, Asherian claimed without offering a shred of evidence that he was called a “dirty Jew” and doused in pepper spray. “That made me start breaking down their barricades,” he stated.

Israeli Ministers Join March Calling for Settlements in Gaza, Expulsion of Palestinians

 

Ben Gvir and a minister in Netanyahu's Likud party joined the march

 

Members of the Israeli government joined thousands of Israelis in a march in southern Israel on Tuesday led by far-right activists calling for the re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of Palestinians.

 

The march commemorated the 76th anniversary of the day Israel celebrates its Independence Day, known as the Nakba, or catastrophe, to the Palestinians as more than 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes to create the modern state of Israel in 1948.

 

Joining the march in the Israeli city of Sderot were two ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the Jewish Power party.

 

“In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love,” Karhi said in a speech at the march, according to Haaretz. “This is the only real way to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country.”

 

Ben Gvir also spoke and said settlements and the expulsion of Palestinians are the “true solution” to the situation in Gaza. “We must return to Gaza now! We are coming home to the Holy Land!” he said. “And second, we must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!”

 

Ben Gvir and other Israeli officials have framed their desire for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza as “voluntary migration,” but the Israeli onslaught is making the Strip uninhabitable and could give the Palestinians no choice but to leave if they have the option.

 

In October 2023, a document prepared by Israel’s Intelligence Ministry that was leaked to the media said the best post-war scenario for Israel would be the expulsion of all 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Since then, Israel has killed about 1.5% of the population of Gaza and has destroyed most of the Strip’s infrastructure.

 

Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Israeli Knesset and Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, said last month that there are secret plans in the works to build Jewish settlements in Gaza. “You will see practical steps, including plans and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this,” she said.

Blinken Justifies Zelensky’s Decision To Cancel Ukrainian Elections

 

The secretary of state made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Tuesday

 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Tuesday and delivered a speech where he justified President Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision to postpone elections.

 

Presidential elections were due to be held in March, but they weren’t, and Zelensky will remain in office after his term ends on May 20. Ukrainian parliamentary elections were scheduled to be held last year in October, but they were also canceled.

 

Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have justified the decision by pointing to Ukraine’s constitution, which prohibits elections during martial law. Martial law was first declared when Russia invaded and has been extended since. However, at one point, Zelensky made it clear that he could hold a vote if he wanted to.

 

Last year, Zelensky said that he could hold elections if the US and other Western countries paid for them and if Ukrainian legislators agreed to amend the constitution. He later ruled out the idea and there’s been no pressure from Ukraine’s Western backers to hold a vote despite the claims that the proxy war is a fight for democracy.

 

In a speech at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Blinken said the US and Europe had been helping Ukraine build “democratic pillars,” including “free and fair elections,” but said a vote can only happen when the “conditions” are right.

 

“That’s why we’re working with the government and civil society groups to shore up Ukraine’s election infrastructure. That way, as soon as Ukrainians agree that conditions allow, all Ukrainians – all Ukrainians, including those displaced by Russia’s aggression – can exercise their right to vote. People in Ukraine and around the world can have confidence that the voting process is free, fair, secure,” Blinken said.

 

Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief who was recently appointed ambassador to the UK, has long been rumored to be a potential presidential candidate in a future election, although he hasn’t announced his intention to run.

 

Earlier this year, a poll in Ukraine found Zelensky would lose to Zaluzhny in a presidential election. The poll found that 41% favored Zaluzhny in a first-round election, while only 23.7% would vote for Zelensky.

Judge Nichols gives Steve Bannon until Monday to respond to DOJ demand for immediate prison sentence.

 

Here’s the current situation:

 

US District Judge Carl Nichols, who oversaw Bannon’s initial trial, had put a hold on Bannon’s sentence while the appeal was ongoing.

Nichols has now given Bannon until Monday to respond to the DOJ’s latest request.

The DOJ’s stance is clear: unless Bannon can show his appeal is not merely a delay and has substantial grounds, he should begin his imprisonment.

AIPAC-affiliated PAC backs Maryland primary candidate with US$4 million

 

Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is seeing major national attention, with a PAC affiliated with AIPAC backing a candidate with over US$4 million.

 

Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is receiving major national attention, with a political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee contributing over US$4 million to its preferred candidate.

 

One of the top two candidates, Harry Dunn, a former capitol police officer who became a national figure after testifying following the 6 January 2021 attack, has been endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and other prominent members of Congress, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and J Street.

 

The other leading candidate, Sarah Elfreth, a member of the Maryland Senate, appears to have most of her endorsements from state officials. She has received over US$4 million in donations from the United Democracy Project.

 

Both leading candidates have described themselves as supporters of Israel, though there appears to be a contrast in their messaging on Gaza.

U.S. MILITARY SURVEILLANCE BLIMP REPORTEDLY SHOT DOWN OVER NORTHEASTERN SYRIA (VIDEOS)

 

A large surveillance aerostat of the United States military crashed on May 15 near the town of Rimelan in the northeastern countryside of Syria’s al-Hasakah.

 

Videos posted to social networks showed the aerostat falling from the sky and later its wreckage on the ground near Rimelan, where the U.S. maintains a base. American fighter jets were reportedly spotted flying over the area at the time of the incident.

 

The base in Rimelan is one of several military installations the U.S. maintains in Syria, mainly in the northeastern governorates of al-Hasakah and Deir Ezzor as well as in the southeastern area of al-Tanf, under the pretext of fighting ISIS remnants. At least 900 troops are deployed there.

 

Some Syrian activists said that the aerostat crashed as a result of a malfunction, while others alleged that it was in fact shot down. The Pentagon is yet to clarify what happened.

 

The U.S. first deployed aerostats in its bases in Syria years ago. However, they were much smaller in size than the one that crashed near Rimelan.

 

The large size of the aerostat suggests that it was equipped with advanced surveillance systems, very possibly an aerial radar.

 

U.S. forces in Syria and neighboring Iraq were attacked more than a hundred times, mainly using suicide drones, after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian Gaza Strip last October, with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) claiming responsibility for most of the attacks.

 

The IRI, an umbrella group of Iranian-backed armed factions in Iraq, suspended attacks against U.S. forces last February after the death of three American troops in a drone strike on a base in Jordan, reportedly upon a request from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Nevertheless, the group escalated attacks against Israel starting from March using suicide drones and cruise missiles.

 

The U.S. may have deployed an early warning radar aerostat in northeastern Syria in order to improve the protection of its forces there as well as to help Israel rebel attacks by the IRI.

 

Based on this, it is possible that the aerostat was shot down by none other than the IRI. Rimelan base is located less than 25 kilometers from Iraq, meaning that it could have been targeted using a medium-range air defense system deployed on the Iraqi side of the border.

 

The IRI has already used a similar system when it shot down a U.S. MQ-9 combat drone over the northeastern Iraqi governorate of Diyala on January 18.

Rumble Sues YouTube for Over $1 Billion in Damages

 

On Monday, video streaming platform Rumble announced it is suing YouTube parent company Alphabet for over a billion dollars in damages.

 

The suit claims that “Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles in this electronically traded marketplace,” and is therefore able “to pocket a supra-competitive portion of every advertising dollar that passes through the Ad Tech markets it controls, ad-revenue that rightly should have passed through to publishers like Rumble and its content creators.” Rumble added to the criticism that Alphabet was acting as a monopoly, referencing established antitrust precedence.

 

This will be the second lawsuit Rumble has carried out against Google in a handful of years, with the first being the 2021 lawsuit over Alphabet’s self-preference in search results. The earlier lawsuit also confronted Alphabet for its relationship with Android and preloaded bundles of their apps on Android devices.

 

A little over a year ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and eight other states joined in a lawsuit alleging Sherman antitrust violations. The complaint alleges, “competition in the ad tech space is broken, for reasons that were neither accidental nor inevitable. One industry behemoth, Google, has corrupted legitimate competition in the ad tech industry by engaging in a systematic campaign to seize control of the wide swath of high-tech tools used by publishers, advertisers, and brokers, to facilitate digital advertising.”

 

The European Union (EU) fined Google €1.49 billion for “abusive practices in online advertising” in 2019.

 

Rumble, headquartered in Longboat Key, Florida, was founded in 2013 with the aim to be a free speech alternative to YouTube. It has grown as creators, who have felt they have been unjustly persecuted by YouTube’s moderation policies, joined its competitor’s platform. Rumble stock currently gives them just under a $2 billion dollar market value. While YouTube makes just over 10 percent of Alphabet revenue, Alphabet currently trades at a $2.1 trillion market cap.

 

Business leaders may note that the prospects of a much smaller company legally targeting a larger competitor are usually not great. However, with the DOJ and EU having made similar legal claims, their likelihood of winning the suit may be stronger.

Israel’s Willing Executioners

 

Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza’s population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel’s sadistic playbook.

 

Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City, the way you ran from Jabalia, the way you ran from Deir al-Balah, the way you ran from Beit Hanoun, the way you ran from Bani Suheila, the way you ran from Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you. We will drop 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on your tent encampments. We will spray you with bullets from our machine-gun-equipped drones. We will pound you with artillery and tank shells. We will shoot you down with snipers. We will decimate your tents, your refugee camps, your cities and towns, your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your water purification plants. We will rain death from the sky.

 

Run for your lives. Again and again and again. Pack up the pathetic few belongings you have left. Blankets. A couple of pots. Some clothes. We don’t care how exhausted you are, how hungry you are, how terrified you are, how sick you are, how old, or how young you are. Run. Run. Run. And when you run in terror to one part of Gaza we will make you turn around and run to another. Trapped in a labyrinth of death. Back and forth. Up and down. Side to side. Six. Seven. Eight times. We toy with you like mice in a trap. Then we deport you so you can never return. Or we kill you.

 

Let the world denounce our genocide. What do we care? The billions in military aid flows unchecked from our American ally. The fighter jets. The artillery shells. The tanks. The bombs. An endless supply. We kill children by the thousands. We kill women and the elderly by the thousands. The sick and injured, without medicine and hospitals, die. We poison the water. We cut off the food. We make you starve. We created this hell. We are the masters. Law. Duty. A code of conduct. They do not exist for us.

Whistleblower reveals how government rushed to give all clear after East Palestine train derailment and says he was threatened when he asked why

 

An EPA whistleblower has come forward with shocking claims over the government's response to the toxic East Palestine train derailment.

 

Robert Kroutil, a scientist who spent four decades in government agencies, claimed to NewsNation that the EPA strayed from its normal safety procedures when testing for hazardous contamination around the crash site.

 

He alleged that leaders delayed in deploying a chemical testing plane for five days, but still decided that evacuated residents were free to return to their homes after only three days.

 

Residents who returned home quickly reported adverse reactions, including rashes, breathing problems and nausea.

 

'That deployment was the most unusual deployment I’ve ever seen,' Kroutil said of the testing aircraft. 'You just wouldn’t do it that way.'

 

Kroutil originally worked for the Department of Defense, where he worked to develop the Airborne Spectralphotometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) aircraft, a high-tech plane used to detect levels of chemical contamination in the air.

 

He continued this work when he moved to the EPA to work as a contractor, but said throughout his career he had never seen the aircraft used in the manner that it was in the East Palestine disaster.

 

At the time that officials told residents it was safe for them to return to their homes, EPA Chief Michael Reagan specifically singled out the use of the ASPECT plane as a reason he made the decision.

 

'We’ve had boots on the ground, leading robust air quality testing, including the advanced technology ASPECT plane,' he said.

 

However, procedures normally called for the ASPECT plane to be deployed within hours, and Kroutil said he is still confused why it wasn't deployed in a timely manner, feeling it may have missed key data on the levels of toxicity in the area.

 

'In East Palestine, we had a big delay,' he told NewsNation. 'There was a big delay in getting the aircraft to Pittsburgh.'

 

Asked why officials may have postponed the flight, Kroutil said he is 'still asking myself that question.'

 

Following the derailment on February 3, 20203, he said: 'We should be collecting data on the 4th, the 5th, the 6th (of February), multiple flights on the 7th.

 

'We should be there at least two weeks to monitor the situation.'

"One of the most immediate effects of the infernal and manipulative psychopandemic operation is the refusal of the masses to acknowledge that they have been the object of a colossal fraud. Under the pretext of preventing the spread of a virus, presented as deadly and incurable - and which we now know has never been isolated according to Koch's postulates - billions of people have been forced to undergo inoculation with an experimental drug that was known to be ineffective for its stated purpose. And in order to accomplish this, the authorities in charge have not hesitated to discredit existing treatments which would have made it impossible for that genetic serum to be authorized for sale."

Senator Malcolm Roberts: Government Covering Up Mass Covid Vaccine Deaths

 

Senator Malcolm Roberts has raised the alarm after uncovering evidence that governments around the world are aware that Covid mRNA shots are killing people. According to Roberts, the Australian government has been scrambling to cover up the mass deaths caused by the injections.

 

As part of the effort, the government has been "deliberately suppressing doctors" from reporting vaccine deaths, the top senator reveals.

Roberts says that governments around the world all know about vaccine harms and that they are "killing people." According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), in 2022, 174,717 deaths occurred.

 

This figure is 22,886 (15.1%) more than the historical average. A growing number of experts and studies have confirmed that this spike was caused by the Covid mRNA shot.

No deal between Moscow and Kiev London

 

Britain will not support any solution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that involves what it sees as concessions to Moscow, Defense Secretary Grant Shapps told Times Radio on Tuesday.

 

The UK has been among the largest arms donors to Kiev. In recent weeks, London has stepped up its rhetoric by saying that British weapons supplied to Ukraine may be used for attacks deep inside Russia. Moscow recently summoned the UK ambassador over the matter and warned of possible retaliation, including strikes targeting “any British military facilities and equipment” in Ukraine and beyond.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, Shapps confirmed that Kiev could use British-supplied weapons to strike Russia’s Crimean Peninsula. London considers the region, which joined Russia in 2014 following a referendum, to be an “integral part of Ukraine,” the defense secretary stated.
