Far-Left Groups Are Spreading Fake News About Acid Attacks Against Muslims.

A Member of Parliament (MP) for Britain’s governing Labour Party spread fake news alleging a Muslim woman had acid thrown in her face in Middlesbrough, England. The false claim was initially posted on social media by Nick Lowles of the George Soros-funded HOPE Not Hate organization.

“Far right cowards [sic] attacking women. When people show you who they are, believe them,” declared Josh Fenton-Glyn, the MP for Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, in a now-deleted post to X (formerly Twitter), as his political fellow-travelers and corporate media allies were blaming populists like Nigel Farage for inflaming riots.

Lowles had claimed reports were “coming in” that acid had been thrown at a Muslim woman from a car in the English town, labeling the fictitious report “Absolutely horrific.” Police later confirmed no such incident had taken place.Fenton-Glyn eventually removed the post, questionably claiming Lowles is “someone who’s generally a good [sic]” and adding it’s “important we correct misinformation where we see it.”Lowles, for his part, acknowledged that “Police in Middlesbrough have denied any knowledge of this acid attack” but continued to stress that “some in the local Muslim community insist it happened.”Middlesbrough is among many English cities and towns gripped by sometimes riotous protests in the wake of a deadly mass stabbing of multiple young girls, allegedly by a son of Rwandan migrants.The protesters have been branded “far-right thugs” by Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, but reporting by British state media over the weekend—now deleted—shows mobs of Muslims have also been attacking white people “in response” to the demonstrations.

UK PM Pledges More Security for Mosques, Jail for Anti-Mass Migration Protesters.

Britain’s new far-left Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has pledged “emergency security” measures for mosques in response to recent national unrest and riots. The disturbances followed the murder of three young girls by a youth of Rwandan heritage.

Sir Keir professed his commitment to tackling “far-right thuggery” against the backdrop of deepening social unrest, a tactic that critics have claimed is simply fuelling the fire. On Sunday, the UK saw multiple confrontations between police and anti-mass migration protestors, including an attack on a “migrant hotel” in Rotherham, an area most famous for its Muslim grooming gangs.

Sir Keir Starmer Announces ‘Standing Army’ to Combat Riots as he Insists ‘There is no Two-Tier Policing’

A near-week of threats hasn’t had the hoped-for impact for Sir Keir Starmer, who on Monday announced a change of tack with the establishment of a “standing army” to crush riots where they appeared.

The Prime Minister, a seasoned lawyer with a usually assured and slick style seemed unsure of his words at times and lacked his normal energy as he spoke to journalists on Monday after he stepped out of a government crisis meeting.

Speaking at his official residence and office Downing Street, where it appears a certain degree of bunker mentality has set in — the husband of the Home Secretary (Interior Minister) complained his hadn’t seen his wife in a week on national television this morning — Sir Keir said of what had been agreed as the next steps: “The first is we’ll have a standing army of specialist officers… [unintelligible]… so what we’ll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them”.

Nevertheless, the Prime Minister still seemed happy enough with the recording to publish it through his official channel several hours later.

Iran Says Haniyeh Was Killed by a ‘Short-Range Projectile,’ Not Planted Bomb

Eyewitnesses who were in the house in Tehran where Haniyeh was killed say a projectile hit the building

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on Saturday that Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed by a “short-range projectile” in Tehran, contradicting reports that he was killed by a planted explosive.

According to Iran’s PressTV, the IRGC said the “attack involved the use of a short-range projectile armed with a warhead weighing approximately seven kilograms, which subsequently caused a massive explosion.”

Haniyeh was killed while staying at a heavily guarded official guest house in Tehran during a visit for the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The New York Times and several other Western media reported he was killed by an explosive that was planted in the guest house by Israeli intelligence months earlier, but Hamas officials and eyewitnesses say a projectile hit the building.

“I was there, and the wall and ceiling of the place where he was were collapsed. It is clear from the appearance of the place after the attack, and from the body of the martyr leader Ismail Haniyeh, that the targeting was carried out by an air-dropped projectile,” Khaled Kaddoumi, Hamas’s representative in Iran, told The Cradle.

Discussing the reports of a bomb being planted in the building, Kaddoumi said, “The narrative published by The New York Times about Mossad agents planting explosive devices inside the apartment where Haniyeh stayed is completely fabricated … They are trying to evade responsibility and its consequences for Israel.”

Israel has a history of conducting covert attacks and assassinations inside Iran. Operations in recent years have involved gunmen, small quadcopter drones, and planted explosives at nuclear facilities.

Iran is vowing revenge for the killing of Haniyeh, and a major attack on Israeli territory is expected to happen soon. The US has deployed more military assets to the region and has said it will help defend Israel from any reprisal.

Netanyahu Appoints New Spokesman Who Wants Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza

Omer Dostri has called for settlements to be established in areas of Gaza that are under Israel's control

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed a new spokesman who is a proponent of establishing Jewish settlements in Gaza and expelling Palestinians from the territory, Haaretz has reported.

Omer Dostri, who is a regular guest on Israel’s Channel 14, was appointed to the new role on Sunday. He is aligned with the Israeli right and has a history of calling for policies that would result in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.

“There is no victory over Hamas without three basic conditions: military occupation of the entire Gaza Strip, military and civilian control of the area, and encouragement of voluntary migration of Gazans out of the strip,” Dostri said in January.

While framing the idea of expelling Palestinians as “voluntary migration,” the Israeli military campaign is making Gaza uninhabitable and could give Palestinians no choice but to leave if they have the option. Dostri has suggested Egypt should be offered economic or military aid to agree to the transfer of “Gaza refugees to Sinai, even if only temporarily.”

Dostri has also called for Israel to establish settlements in the areas of Gaza that it currently occupies. “Israel must order the rapid establishment of Israeli settlements in many of the areas it occupies, especially those close to the current border,” Dostri wrote in Makor Rishon.

The Israeli military controls about 26% of Gaza’s territory, including a “buffer zone” that was established along the entire Israel-Gaza border. In these areas, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has demolished most structures and has established some military bases.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed he does not plan on establishing settlements in Gaza, but members of his coalition government and Likud party openly support the idea. Appointing a spokesman who favors settlements in Gaza also signals that the prime minister is aligned with that viewpoint.

Schumer: I’ll DISMANTLE the Supreme Court if Democrats win big in November…

They are threatening a complete and total takeover of the government just like Mao’s China Revolution. This country will be unrecognizable in 10 years if they steal this next election.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said there are plans to roll out major overhauls to the Supreme Court if Democrats win control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Calls for implementing stricter rules for the Supreme Court from the Left have escalated in recent years, as complaints about alleged corruption and ethical lapses have plagued Republican-appointed justices.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been targeted by campaigns calling into question their relationships with GOP megadonors and their wives’ political involvement.

“The Supreme Court has become a morass, both ethically and substantively,” Schumer told NBC News. “We’re going to look at everything. There are lots of proposals.”

Democrats Are Escalating Supreme Court War With Unconstitutional Bill Targeting Presidential Immunity Ruling''

Russia legalizes Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies for international transactions

Russian legislators have approved a bill allowing businesses to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to settle international transactions.

This development is part of Russia's strategy to evade Western sanctions enforced after the beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The new law also updates existing regulations on cryptocurrency mining and the circulation of other digital assets while at the same time maintaining the ban on domestic cryptocurrency payments.

This law, which will come into effect in September, aims to address the significant delays in Russia's international transactions, especially with major trading partners such as China, India and the United Arab Emirates. Central Bank of the Russian Federation Gov. Elvira Nabiullina strongly advocated for this law and stated that the country's first nation-to-nation cryptocurrency transactions will occur before the year's end.

"The risks of secondary sanctions have grown. They make payments for imports difficult, and that concerns a wide range of goods," Nabiullina said. The central bank also emphasized that the delays in payments have contributed to the eight percent decline in Russian imports in the second quarter of 2024.

These delays persist despite different strategies being employed, such as using the native currencies of trading partners and developing an alternative payment system through the BRICS economic bloc. Many transactions still depend on American dollars and European Union euros and are processed through the Western-controlled SWIFT system, raising the threat of secondary sanctions and more delays.

Nabiullina stressed that these sanctions have affected import payments, expanding supply chains woes and raising expenses.

This decision by Russian legislators seeks to alleviate the economic difficulties caused by sanctions and guarantee softer international trade operations.

"We are taking a historic decision in the financial sphere," Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, told lawmakers on Tuesday, July 30, after passing the legislation.

According to Mati Greenspan, CEO of crypto market research company Quantum Economics, Russia warming to crypto seemed right as bitcoin transactions "cannot be censored or blocked by any government or bank."

"Previously, Russia would not want to allow that kind of transactional freedom to its citizens – but now we're at the point that bitcoin is used so often in everyday commerce that the opportunity cost for them not to allow it is simply too great," Greenspan added.

The world's biggest digital currency is currently worth $66,000, as reported by CoinGecko data, up over 120 percent in the last 12 months.

Other sanctioned nations have often tried to avoid such financial restrictions through the use of cryptocurrencies. For instance, North Korea has on several occasions been charged with increasing millions of dollars in crypto to aid in financing different state programs and avoid foreign sanctions.

Must Be Election Year: Biden’s DHS Freezes Immigrant Parole Program Due to Fraud

The Biden regime has temporarily frozen the CHNV Parole Program to due concerns of fraud. It’s hard to imagine they would care about a program that has currently flown over 500,000 people into the US when they have let well over 10 to 12 million illegals cross the border in the last few years.

The CHNV Parole Program, permits up to 30,000 people to be flown into the US each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela if they meet certain qualifications. It originally started in 2022 with Venezuela, then included Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua by early 2023.

Fox News Reported:

EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration has put a controversial program that allows tens of thousands of migrants from four nations to fly or travel directly into the U.S. on hold, after a report circulated internally showing significant amounts of fraud in the program.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News Digital that “out of an abundance of caution,” it has temporarily paused the issuing of advance travel authorizations for the program — which allows up to 30,000 nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) to travel into the U.S. each month and enter legally under the administration’s use of parole if they meet certain conditions.

A congressional source had told Fox News Digital the pause came in mid-July after an internal report unearthed large amounts of fraud in applications for those sponsoring the applicants. DHS said the pause was occurring as it reviewed sponsor applications. The focus is on issues with supporter filings, and not with the filings from the beneficiaries of the program themselves.

“A congressional source tells Fox News Digital that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped issuing travel authorizations to Venezuelans on July 6 and authorizations for the three remaining nationalities on July 18,” Fox News reported.

BREAKING: The Biden administration has temporarily paused its controversial CHNV mass parole program that allows migrants to fly into the U.S. after an internal report unearthed large amounts of fraud in the program.

Big scoop by colleague @AdamShawNY https://t.co/lw60xYB2xi

— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) August 2, 2024

A report had showed that social security numbers and other information on the forms were used hundreds of times. The proportion of the number of forms to the number of sponsors for the CHNV Parolees showed evidence of fraud. Addresses were used numerous times, social security numbers of dead people were used, and some addresses were storage units. One phone number was submitted on about 2,000 forms.

In May, TGP had reported on the CHNV program. At that time there were approximately 434,000 people who were flown in on the program. That number is now over 500,000.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to take responsibility for the border crisis and for immigration in general. In February he was on “Meet the Press” and said he was not responsible for a “broken system.”

“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.

“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

Moderna Admits Covid mRNA Shots Cause Cancer

Documents have emerged that show Moderna has always known that the pharmaceutical giant’s Covid mRNA shots cause cancer.

The evidence has surfaced as cases of rapidly developing “turbo cancer” are continuing to surge around the world.

The cases spike in 2021, after the shots were rolled out to the public, and are continuing to surge today.

A veteran doctor, who has served as a hospital emergency room (ER) physician for over 25 years, recently raised the alarm over a dramatic surge in diagnoses of “obvious” cases of “turbo cancer.”

Dr. Ben Marble warns that the spike started in 2021 – after Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.

Marble says in the years he’s served as an ER doctor, since 1998, he only ever diagnosed one, or maybe two, new cases of “obvious cancer” a year.

However, since 2021, Marble says he is now diagnosing a new case of “turbo cancer” as often as “once a week.”

Additionally, the doctor says “every time” he diagnoses a new case of “turbo cancer,” the patient is someone who received a Covid mRNA injection.

Doctors and oncologists have dubbed the cancers “turbo” due to the rapid onset and spread.

Experts have warned that the speed at which these cancers form and spread is unprecedented.

In some cases, doctors are reporting that seemingly healthy patients are dying within a week of being diagnosed with cancer.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warns that Bitcoin transactions arent as anonymous as people think

In his keynote speech at the recent Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, which he gave from his exile in Russia, he said that most of the transactions made using Bitcoin are fully exposed, even though they are not made public. He said that because all of the transactions that take place on the network are permanent, it is possible for them to be publicly verified. Moreover,he pointed out that legacy exchanges typically share their users’ information with regulators, who he said possess significant power and can determine multiple aspects of users’ lives with their transaction histories, including everything from political affiliations to their personal preferences. This, he says, enables them to understand a person’s life without the need to obtain a warrant. Snowden cautioned: “They know what you read, what you buy, who you send [bitcoin] to, who you support politically, like where your donations went, all of that is available to them. They can infer your thinking, they can infer your affiliations…”

Ukrainian Nazis Continue Deliberate Attacks On Civilians In Kherson Region

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue terrorist attacks on civilians in the Russian border areas and in the regions that Kiev lost. The targeted attacks have no military sense and are aimed exclusively to terrorise pro-Russian civilians.

Three civilians were wounded as a result of Ukrainian attacks in the Donetsk People’s Republic over the past day alone. On August 5, Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive on Kirova Street in the city of Donetsk. As a result of the attack, a woman born in 1964 was wounded.

Ukrainian forces are also targeting civilians on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region. On August 4, civilians came under a series of terrorist Ukrainian attacks in the town of Aleshki.

In the afternoon, Ukrainian artillery shelled the crowded central market in the town. The local authorities confirmed the victims. In total, at least eight civilians were wounded.

Eight victims were not enough and Ukrainian Nazis launched new strikes in the evening. Several Ukrainian UAVs attacked civilians with drones. Ukrainian FPV drones were deliberately aiming at the windows of residential high-rise buildings. As a result of the strikes, at least six more civilians were wounded. A fire broke out in one of the houses.

Most of the victims of Ukrainian strikes are elderly people who could not leave the dangerous areas in the war-torn regions.

U.S. Sponsored Regime Change and “Color Revolution” in Bangladesh

What just happened in Bangladesh is ominously similar to 2014’s “EuroMaidan” in Ukraine where legitimate grievances gave rise to a nationwide protest movement that was then co-opted by political opportunists, radicals, and external forces to carry out regime change like the West wanted.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina just resigned and fled the country on Monday as rioters stormed her palace, which prompted military chief Waker-uz-Zaman to declare a transitional government and an investigation into the deaths that took place throughout this summer’s unrest. He also said that martial law won’t be imposed if the country returns to peace, though that remains to be seen. Here are some background briefings about this fast-moving sequence of events:

16 April 2023: “Why’s The US Scheming To Carry Out Regime Change In Bangladesh?”

26 November 2023: “Russia Warned That The US Might Orchestrate A Color Revolution In Bangladesh”

10 January 2024: “The Outcome Of The Bangladeshi & Bhutanese Elections Gives India Strategic Breathing Space”

28 January 2024: “The Bangladeshi Opposition’s New Narrative Is Meant To Maximally Appeal To The West”

27 May 2024: “Bangladesh Warned About A Western Plot To Carve Out A Christian Proxy State In The Region

25 July 2024: “The Unrest In Bangladesh Isn’t A Color Revolution But It Could Still Easily Become One”

5 August 2024: “Bangladesh Has Descended Into The Throes Of A Full-Blown Color Revolution”

The last-mentioned piece took for granted that the military would resort to all means necessary for maintaining law and order, but that ultimately wasn’t the case after they refused to use lethal force to stop a large number of rioters from storming the presidential palace. It’s unclear whether humanitarian/moral considerations or fears of Western sanctions were responsible, but in any case, that flaw was responsible for incorrectly predicting that the regime change wouldn’t succeed.

Western Supported Zionist Genocide Against Palestinians: “They have Lost their Loved Ones”, “Heavily armed to kill Defenseless Civilians.”

Genocide, explains heroic Gazan reporter Bisan Owda, manifests itself in myriad different ways. It is not just warplanes in the sky “heavily armed to kill defenseless civilians.”

The genocide, she explains, is part psychological. People have nowhere safe to go. They have lost their loved ones. They are forced to flee with few belongings on roads where cars are broken down, where fuel is unavailable, and the donkey to pull the trailer is dead and so is the driver. Terror, anguish, sorrow haunt them daily.

The genocide is the disease, the biowarfare, the dirty water, the open sewage.

Zionists force fleeing, helpless, terror-stricken civilians back and forth to set up tents near open sewers, where the water is dirty, where many but especially children get life-threatening and life-ending diseases like smallpox, malaria, scabies, hepatitis and parasite-induced illnesses.

Existing hospitals are overburdened, medicines and treatment are often unavailable because the occupation restricts necessary health products and even hygiene products from entering the Strip of Death.

And so the children with the least defences are particularly vulnerable. Doctors perform amputations without anesthetics. When the babies die, they are dehydrated and their bones show.

Everything needs repair, tents, clothes, cars, nothing much can be repaired because everything is denied. Western-supported Zionists deny everything that makes life sustainable. The siege is part of the genocide.

It is de-development. It is bombing the area to the stone-age. It is the mass murder of innocents. None of this is accidental.

It is parallel fascism, it is Nazism in this Zionist-created Kill Zone where people are walled-in, controlled and targeted with no place to go. Just like the Warsaw Ghetto.

The Influence of Sabbatean Frankism on the World

"In a nutshell, these groups sexually practiced incest, pedophilia, adultery and homosexuality and were otherwise depraved. The Talmud states that the Messiah will come only in an age that is completely guilty or completely innocent (Sanhedrin 98a). From this epigram, the Frankists would declare, 'Since we cannot all be saints, let us all be sinners.'"

In addition, Sabbatians and Frankists practiced inbreeding, which surely didn't help with any tendency toward psychoses and neuroses. In his day, over a million Jews from every walk of life proclaimed and hailed Tzvi as their deliverer. The movement rejected the Talmud, and completely rejected the ethics and morals of Torah Judaism.

They conspired with the Illuminati with goals of destroying all religions and fusing all nations into one. Gershon Scholem has traced the incestuous practices of the Sabbatians to that of Earth Mother worship.

After a forced conversion to Islam by the Sultan, the cult simmered down. Then, Jacob Frank, one of history's nastiest men, encountered the Sabbatian Dönmeh while he was a traveling salesman in Turkey in 1750. He refined the concept of the Messiah, declared himself so, and urged members of the movement to sin as the means to salvation. It was called the "cult of the all-seeing eye."

Iraq Base Housing American Forces Comes Under Brief Rocket Attack

Update(1519ET): While this doesn't yet look like the start of the big attack that the world has been on edge about, rockets have hit Iraq's Ain al-Asad air base, which hosts American and international soldiers, during the evening hours of Monday (local time).

"Two Katyusha rockets were fired at Iraq's Ain al-Asad air base on Monday, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, security sources said," Reuters reports, citing sources who say at least one rocket landed inside the base and that casualties or damage are as unclear at this point.

Former Secret Service Chief Wanted To Destroy Cocaine Evidence

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and others in top agency leadership positions wanted to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer, but the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division stood firm and rejected the push to dispose of the evidence, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

Multiple heated confrontations and disagreements over how best to handle the cocaine ensued after a Secret Services Uniformed Division officer found the bag on July 2, 2023, a quiet Sunday while President Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland, the sources said.

At least one Uniformed Division officer was initially assigned to investigate the cocaine incident. But after he told his supervisors, including Cheatle and Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe, who was deputy director at the time, that he wanted to follow a certain crime-scene investigative protocol, he was taken off the case, according to a source within the Secret Service community familiar with the circumstances of his removal.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi did not immediately return RCP’s request for comment.

The discovery of the bag of cocaine posed an unusual problem for Cheatle, who resigned in the face of bipartisan pressure after the July 13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

Hunter Biden had a well-documented addiction to cocaine, crack cocaine, and other substances for many years but repeatedly claimed to be sober since 2021, an assertion that has prompted President Biden to often proclaim how “proud” he is of his son. While neither Joe nor Hunter Biden were at the executive mansion when the cocaine was found, it was discovered after a period when Hunter had been staying there.

Cheatle became close to the Biden family while serving on Vice President Joe Biden’s protective detail – so close that Biden tapped Cheatle for the director job in 2022, in part because of her close relationship to first lady Jill Biden.

When the cocaine was first discovered, Cheatle apparently knew it would spark a media firestorm. The incident prompted viral memes about Hunter Biden’s addictions and accusations from Republican political figures, including Nikki Haley, that the Secret Service knew whose cocaine it was and was trying to cover it up.

Normally, the discovery of cocaine or another illegal narcotic in the White House complex or in and around the first family and their staff wouldn’t come to light at all.

That’s because the president’s and first lady’s, as well as family members’ protective Secret Service details, the inner-most ring of protective agents assigned to the first family, would simply dispose of illegal drugs or other “contraband” found in the White House, personal residences, or other private areas of the president, his family, and White House staff, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

But it wasn’t a member of President Biden’s regular detail who found the bag of cocaine just two days before the July 4 holiday last year. Instead, a member of the agency’s Uniformed Division, which is charged with protecting the facilities and venues for presidents and other agency protectees, discovered the substance in the White House complex while conducting routine rounds of the building.

The exact location where the officer found the bag changed several times during the first weeks of media reports on the incident. Initial reports said the cocaine was found in a reference library. Later reports indicated it was in a “work area” of the West Wing, which is attached to the mansion that houses the president and his family, the Oval Office, the cabinet room, the press briefing room, and offices for staff. CBS News, citing law enforcement sources, then reported it was found in a facility used by White House staff and guests to store phones.

An official Secret Service statement, issued at the conclusion of the agency’s internal investigation into the cocaine discovery, said a Uniformed Division officer found the bag in a “vestibule leading to the lobby area of the West Executive Avenue entrance to the White House,” a well-trafficked area used on the weekend for White House tours. That statement was released on July 13, eleven days after the cocaine’s discovery.

ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says mix of ideologies promoting violence behind rise in terror threat level

ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says Australia's terror-level threat has been raised to "probable" due to a rising mix of ideologies where more people think "violence is permissible".

Mr Burgess had earlier on Monday joined Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus in making the announcement, where he said eight incidents had been disrupted in the past four months.

The raising of the threat level does not mean ASIO has intelligence about plans of an imminent attack.

Speaking to 7.30, Mr Burgess said not one of the eight incidents in isolation caused the raising of the threat level.

In six of the eight cases identified by the intelligence service boss the individuals involved were previously unknown to police or ASIO.

"One incident or a couple of incidents are not a reason to raise the threat level, but they are an indication of what we're seeing in society across those eight incidents," Mr Burgess said.

"Five of them involved minors or youth. The oldest was 21. The youngest was 14.

"Across the eight there's an equal mix of religiously motivated, nationalist and racist violent extremism."

Mr Albanese earlier said the raised level had been driven by increases in youth radicalisation, online radicalisation and the rise of "new mixed ideologies".

The sheer range of threats and the speed of evolution from idea to action means that ASIO is stretched in its role of keeping Australia safe.

Mr Burgess said mixed ideologies lacked logic but were often based on violence.

Asked if the eight incidents he referred to were mostly religiously motivated, Mr Burgess said the total number was less than half.

He said the agency observed that violence was becoming more permissible, with religiously motivated, nationalist or racist ideologies sometimes becoming mixed in ways that do not make sense.

"[In] one particular incident, we have an individual that's latched onto ANTIFA, so extreme left wing, but actually in the manifesto, there's neo-Nazis … that defies logic," he said.

"I'd suggest they're not really hooked on either of those ideologies. They're hooked on the violence elements of that."

There they go again: Heritage pushes new nuclear arms race

The report asserts that its proposals are meant to prevent rather than spark a conflict

At a time when all three major nuclear powers are upgrading their nuclear arsenals, when Russian leader Vladimir Putin has threatened that there are circumstances in which he would consider using such weapons in Ukraine, and when the one remaining U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control agreement is hanging by a thread, the last thing the world needs is an accelerated nuclear arms race.

But someone forgot to tell the Heritage Foundation, which just issued a report that, if implemented, would spark a nuclear competition that would rival the worst days of the Cold War.

The Heritage report summarizes its proposed nuclear buildup as follows:

“These expansions will include a larger ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) force, additional warheads on America’s ground-based strategic deterrent, and a modest road-mobile variant of the ground-based strategic deterrent. In the immediate term, the United States will upload non-strategic nuclear warheads from the ready reserve stockpile to existing theater capabilities.”

Beyond its jargon-laced call for more nuclear weapons, the Heritage report makes the jaw dropping claim that its proposal to expand most elements of the U.S. nuclear force is just a “modest” increase. Indeed, the document suggests that its proposal to deploy more nuclear weapons of more types on land and sea should be the first step towards an even larger buildup that will have to wait until there are enough new nuclear production facilities available.

Nukes without end, anyone?

The stated rationale for this dangerous buildup is that the nuclear landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, most notably due to the possibility of facing not one but two nuclear rivals with comparable arsenals — Russia, and now China. But it’s not obvious that an unrestrained buildup is the best way to address this challenge, should it actually materialize.

The Heritage report asserts that its proposals are meant to prevent rather than spark a nuclear conflict. But it doubles down on the current nuclear “triad” of land, air, and sea-based nuclear weapons — a destabilizing posture that makes a nuclear conflict more likely.
