Italy Becomes First G-7 Country To Restore Ties With Assad

In a huge development, Italy has broken with its G-7 partners and become the first to restore full diplomatic relations with Syria.

President Bashar al-Assad and his government have long been under US and EU sanctions, having been accused of human rights abuses and war crimes by the West, which funded a decade-long jihadist insurgency in a failed attempt to topple the Syrian leader.

"Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, speaking in front of relevant parliamentary committees Thursday, announced Rome’s intention to re-establish diplomatic ties with Syria to prevent Russia from monopolizing diplomatic efforts in the Middle Eastern country," Associated Press reports.

New Study: Forever Chemicals In U.S. Food Supply A Growing Concern

New findings outline the toxicity of polyfluoroalkyl substances still found to be prevalent among food producers in the United States despite calls for increased regulation by the EPA.

Despite widespread alarm about the health and environmental impacts of toxic PFAS, the chemicals are increasingly being added to pesticides applied in homes and crops across the US, according to a new study.

The findings, published July 24 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, add to growing concerns about PFAS contamination in the US food system and waterways and highlight pesticides’ “underappreciated” role in the problem, said David Andrews, a senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group and an author of the study

The study revealed that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) account for 14% of all active ingredients in pesticides used in the US, including almost one-third of active ingredients approved in the last decade. Even when PFAS are not added to these products as active ingredients, pesticides are at risk for being contaminated unintentionally, primarily through PFAS leaching from the fluorinated containers in which they are stored, the study concluded.

“This is truly frightening news, because pesticides are some of the most widely dispersed pollutants in the world,” Nathan Donley, the environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity and an author of the study, said in a statement. “Lacing pesticides with forever chemicals is likely burdening the next generation with more chronic diseases and impossible cleanup responsibilities.”

The authors reviewed pesticide data from the US EPA, the US Geological Survey, and the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency, as well as publicly available databases, finding that PFAS-laced pesticides are regularly used nationwide on staple crops including corn, wheat, kale, spinach, apples and strawberries. PFAS are also common ingredients in flea treatments for pets and sprays to kill insects, they found.

The study comes on the heels of a petition delivered to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday by the Center for Food Safety and other nonprofits asking the agency to ban PFAS in pesticides.

Regulatory concerns

PFAS have been used for decades in a wide variety of consumer products. Some of the so-called “forever chemicals” have been linked to cancers, damage to organs and the immune system, and other health problems.

One of the same qualities that make PFAS concerning to environmental and health advocates – their resistance to breaking down – also makes them attractive to pesticide manufacturers because it makes their products last longer, said Andrews.

Even as the use of PFAS in pesticides has climbed since 2012, the EPA has granted nearly all requests to bypass a requirement to assess how active ingredients affect the immune system, a “troubling” pattern that suggests health effects from these chemicals in pesticides may not be accounted for, the authors write.

“The regulations surrounding pesticides are currently outdated and ineffective, so this discovery of PFAS presence in pesticide formulations represents a new opportunity for the EPA to improve the scientific validity of pesticide risk assessment to better capture real-world exposure scenarios,” scientists from Emory University who were not involved in the study wrote in a related perspective article.

Josh Shapiro Covered Up Election Fraud Complaints Against Democrats

Shapiro has a lot of problems

Pennsylvania Democrat governor Josh Shapiro, who is now in the running to be Kamala Harris’ vice presidential candidate, stands accused of covering up election fraud complaints against Democrats dating back years during his tenure as attorney general, leading a whistleblower to accuse Shapiro of being “criminally negligent.”

“AG Shapiro turned a blind eye to the alleged criminal wrongdoing of members of the Democrat Party in our county (Fayette County, Pennsylvania). These same Democrats now owe gubernatorial candidate Shapiro their support in his run for the governorship. They hosted him recently,” whistleblower Robert Frasconi told NATIONAL FILE, noting that he made a formal 2018 complaint directly to Shapiro “after the numerous contacts to his subordinates went unanswered.”

Robert Frasconi told NATIONAL FILE: “1. A case of alleged election fraud involving a former Democrat state representative who served 10 years as state representative in the 51st Legislative District. Timothy S. Mahoney was elected alongside Josh Shapiro after the middle-of-the-night pay raise scandal of July 2005. Shapiro and Mahoney served together on the House Reform Committee. They are friends. Mahoney pushed for a countywide referendum on school consolidation in 2011. Pennsylvania law does not permit advisory referenda. Thus, I and my colleague, Delinda Young, challenged Mahoney’s referendum petition in the local PA Court of Common Pleas. We prevailed, and Mahoney’s referendum petition was struck. We later came to learn of Mahoney’s election fraud — he altered and falsified affidavits of circulator and signed as the sole affiant, as if he solely circulated the petitions. He also perjured himself in the courtroom as he lied about the circulation period for his referendum petitions. Mahoney receives credit for pushing for the PA’s so-called Open Records law. Interestingly, we made open records requests for Mahoney’s per diem records during his purported circulation period of his referendum petitions June 1 – Aug. 8, 2011. As Mahoney then sat on the House Appropriations Committee, and as the PA budget must by law be completed by July 1, the per diem records showed that Mahoney was reimbursed for overnight stays in Harrisburg (200-plus miles away from Fayette County). Thus, Mahoney could not be in Harrisburg and before 50 continuously circulating referendum petitions as he attested on his altered and falsified affidavits of circulator. In short, the proof of Mahoney’s election fraud is incontrovertible and irrefutable. My colleague, Delinda Young, and I went through two election boards, two district attorneys, and three AGs (including Josh Shapiro) to no avail as they all covered for Mahoney.”

Washington gives Netanyahu ‘full backing’ to expand war on Lebanon: Report

Hebrew media reports that the army is urging Tel Aviv that ‘now is the right time’ for escalation against Hezbollah and Lebanon

Former Israeli intelligence and security official Yuval Malka told Hebrew media on 25 July that Washington has greenlit a wider war on Lebanon.

“According to the information I received from the delegation and what I know, Netanyahu has received full legitimacy in the United States to wage a war in Lebanon,” Malka told Israel’s Channel 14.

“When he arrives in the country, he is expected to head to the ‘Al-Bur’ in Al-Kiryah, and from there he will start the war in Lebanon,” he added, referring to a military complex that houses the headquarters of the Israeli army’s different corps.

Netanyahu visited Washington this week for a speech in Congress and talks with officials.

The Israeli army has reportedly signaled to the government that the time is ripe for an expanded war against Lebanon, according to a defense analyst for Hebrew media.

“The Israeli army is prepared for a major ground maneuver in Lebanon and warns: Any delay will be in Hezbollah’s favor when there is progress in the background in negotiations to release the hostages,” said Amir Bohbot, military editor and senior defense analyst for Israeli news site Walla, on 24 July.

“The Israeli army is sending a signal to the government – we are at the height of preparations for war in the north, and now is the right time,” he added.

Citing sources, Bohbot says, “postponement for another year or two will lead to the rehabilitation and alignment of Hezbollah and all parties,” and that “the achievements of the Israeli army will be in vain … Hezbollah will have difficulty launching a campaign against Israel without the two division commanders [recently assassinated by Israel].”

“The IDF confirms that the forces trained for the ground maneuver mission in Lebanon, including forces that have gained significant experience in the Gaza Strip, raise the IDF to a very high level of competence.”

Meanwhile, Hebrew newspaper Makan reported that the Israeli navy held a reception ceremony on Wednesday for two new US-made landing ships at a naval base in Haifa.

Combat systems will be installed on the two vessels before they enter service on “several fronts.”

Despite Bohbot’s comments, Maariv newspaper reported on Wednesday that the Israeli army is losing its readiness to launch an all-out war against Lebanon and Hezbollah because its forces have been worn out from almost 300 days of fighting in Gaza.

Hezbollah released the third episode of its “Hoopoe” series on 24 July, revealing recent drone footage of the sensitive and strategic Ramat David Airbase and several other important sites it is capable of striking in the event of all-out war with Israel.

The Lebanese resistance group has recently struck new Israeli settlements not previously targeted in response to assassinations and indiscriminate Israeli attacks on south Lebanon.

Its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has warned Israel that it is prepared to fight “without limits, rules, or restraints” if a wide-scale war is waged against Lebanon.

In a speech on 17 July, Nasrallah responded to increased Israeli threats against Lebanon and to a recent Hebrew media report that Tel Aviv faces a significant shortage of tanks due to losses in Gaza, saying, “If your tanks come to Lebanon and its south, you will not suffer a shortage of tanks because you will have no tanks left.”

Hezbollah will pay ‘heavy price,’ PM vows after strike on Druze town kills 12 children

Netanyahu says murder of Druze kids won’t ‘pass in silence’ as security officials meet to discuss best options; Gallant tells Druze leaders Israel ‘will strike the enemy hard’

“We want to deliver a hard blow to Hezbollah, without having any more casualties here,” he added.

Calls for Israel to respond forcibly to Hezbollah were echoed across the political echelon as well, with some going so far as to demand Israel launch a full-scale military offensive against the Iran-backed terror group, even as an unnamed Israeli security source told Sky News Arabic that Israel does not “intend to spark a war.”

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Israel was seeking international “support and legitimacy” to act against Hezbollah after the terror group “crossed all red lines” in Saturday’s rocket strike.

The Foreign Ministry was preparing for an international campaign that would work to “obtain support and legitimacy for Israeli action in Lebanon, and to point the finger directly at Iran,” Katz said.

Israel is “approaching the moment of an all-out war against Hezbollah and Lebanon,” he warned, pledging that the terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah would be destroyed and that Lebanon would be severely damaged.

“This is not an army against an army,” Katz said of Hezbollah. “It is an Iranian terrorist organization against civilians and children.”

Currently, only 14 per cent of areas in #Gaza are not under the “evacuation orders”.

Every other day, the Israeli Authorities issue these orders forcing people to flee, creating havoc + panic.

Quite often, people have just a few hours to pack whatever they can & start all over again, mostly on foot or on a crowded donkey cart for those who can afford it.

Almost everyone in Gaza has been impacted by these orders. Many were forced to flee on average once a month since the war began nine months ago.

A man told our

@UNRWA

teams recently that he was forced to flee twice within 10 hours.

People continue to search for safety: the most precious, the most nonexistent.

This evacuation tactic only brings more misery, fear and suffering for people who have nothing to do with this war.

The people of #Gaza are not pinballs or chess pieces, they are people.

US Military Base in Eastern Syria On Fire. Hit by Multiple Rockets and Drones. US Approves War on Hezbollah

Nations quietly passed Bail-In laws in 2017. Governments won’t be bailing out banks this time, you will be. A crisis is coming.

Several countries did pass bail-in laws around 2017, although the process wasn’t always widely publicized. For example, Australia passed the Financial Sector Legislation Amendment (Crisis Resolution Powers and Other Measures) Bill in February 2018, which included bail-in provisions. Similarly, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in the United States, passed in 2010, also includes bail-in mechanisms.

Bail-in laws allow banks to convert debt into equity to increase their capital requirements, using funds from unsecured creditors, including depositors with balances above insured limits. This approach aims to prevent taxpayer-funded bailouts by shifting the financial burden to the bank’s creditors and shareholders.

What is with the hidden hand shit?

Swedish company producing insects goes bankrupt due to low demand.

Klaus Scwhab's World Economic Forum has been pushing for people to eat insects instead of meat to stop climate change. Because apparently cows are now bad for the planet and fart too much.

So a Swedish company called Tebrito has been working hard to produce mealworms for insect proteins to put in human food like granola and protein bars.

They got a whopping $4.2 million in investments to push this stuff. And now they have gone bankrupt because it seems like nobody wants to eat their insects. In 2023 they only had a revenue of a meager $49.000 and losing almost $12.6 million!

They literally say the following: "To reach the goals and the 2030 Agenda, the way we produce food - and the types of foods we eat - must change".

Syria: Israeli occupation committed a heinous crime in Majdal Shams to escalate situation in the region

Damascus, SANA- Syrian Arab Republic said that the Israeli occupation entity committed yesterday a brutal massacre in Majdal Shams town of the occupied Syrian Golan to escalate situation in the region, stressing that holding Lebanese resistance responsible for this crime comes as a part of its blatant attempts to fabricate pretexts to continue aggression on the region as a whole.

” As part of attempts to escalate the situation in the region, Israeli occupation entity committed a heinous crime on Saturday in Majdal Shams town and then held Lebanese National Resistance accountable for this crime,” Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement.

The statement added that Syria condemns the continued massacres committed by Israeli occupation entity on a daily basis and holds it responsible for the dangerous escalation of the situation in the whole region.

Syria also affirmed that people in occupied Golan, who have refused for decades to give up their Syrian Arab identity, will not be fooled by the occupation false accusations that Lebanese national resistance shelled Majdal Shams, especially since people in Syrian Golan were and still an integral part of resisting the occupier and its aggressive policies that violate land and identity.
