Putin suggests new approach to boosting birth rate in Russia

Men should be encouraged to take a bigger role in family life and child-raising, the president has said

The family is based on mutual respect, on the participation of both parents in raising children,” Putin said. “Therefore, alongside supporting motherhood, we need to think through measures to support responsible fatherhood.”

The president said the idea is for men to take a more active part in everyday family care, in decisions about having children, and be more involved in their upbringing. Putin added that responsible fatherhood also entails leading a healthy lifestyle and preserving reproductive health for as long as possible.

According to Putin, the demographic agenda should focus on system-wide tasks designed to support families in a sustained way.

Judge Temporarily Blocks DOJ From Using Evidence Proving James Comey's Guilt

A federal judge has dealt a setback to Justice Department efforts to seek a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, temporarily barring prosecutors from using evidence they had relied on when they initially secured criminal charges.

The ruling Saturday night from U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly does not preclude the department from trying again soon to indict Comey, but it does suggest prosecutors may have to do so without citing communications between Comey and a close friend, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman.

"The Days Of Censoring Americans Online Are Over": Senior US Diplomats Slam EU's "Attack" On American Tech Platform X

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and several other senior U.S. officials have criticized the internet policies of the European Union (EU), likening them to censorship, after the governing bloc last week levied Elon Musk’s social media platform X with a $140 million fine for breaching its online content rules.

In a follow-up post, Landau said his recent trip to Brussels for NATO’s ministerial meeting left him feeling that there is a “glaring inconsistency between [the United States’] relations with NATO and the EU.”

“When these countries wear their NATO hats, they insist that Transatlantic cooperation is the cornerstone of our mutual security,” he said.

“But when these countries wear their EU hats, they pursue all sorts of agendas that are often utterly adverse to US interests and security—including censorship. … This inconsistency cannot continue.”

‘Catastrophic outcomes’ could accompany rise of advanced AI – Google DeepMind CEO

The path towards creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) could involve “catastrophic outcomes” such as cyberattacks on energy or water infrastructure, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has warned. He suggested that AGI could arrive within the next decade.

Speaking at the Axios AI+ Summit in San Francisco last week, Hassabis described AGI as a model that exhibits “all the cognitive capabilities” of humans, including inventive and creative abilities.

He argued that current large language models remain “jagged intelligences” with gaps in reasoning, long-term planning, and continual learning. However, he suggested that AGI could soon become a reality with continued scaling and “one or two more big breakthroughs.”

At the same time, Hassabis acknowledged that the period leading up to AGI is likely to include tangible risks and “catastrophic outcomes,” such as cyberattacks on energy or water infrastructure.

“That’s probably almost already happening now… maybe not with very sophisticated AI yet,” he said, calling this the “most obvious vulnerable vector.” He added that bad actors, autonomous agents, and systems that “deviate” from intended goals all require serious mitigation. “It’s non-zero,” he said of the possibility that advanced systems could “jump the guardrail.”

University To Fork Out Over $10 Million For Discrimination Over Religious COVID Vaccine Exemptions

The University of Colorado (CU) is now on the hook to pay out $10.3 million in a settlement over discriminating against religious students and staff during its 2021 COVID-19 vaccine mandate process.

The December payout agreement between the university and 18 unnamed plaintiffs comes more than a year after a federal appeals court ruled the school discriminated against certain religious beliefs by requiring individuals to be a part of a formal religion that believes “immunizations are forbidden under all circumstances,” according to the court document. The religious exemption applied only to Christian Scientists and Jehovah’s Witnesses and did not include Catholics, Orthodox, Evangelical Christians, non-denominational Protestants, Buddhists or anyone who was not affiliated with a particular religious organization.

The Anschutz campus, which is home to the university’s health sciences, decided that because these religions were not entirely opposed to all vaccines, the opposition to the Covid vaccine was “personal” and not “religious.”

Police raid UNRWA offices in East Jerusalem, raise Israeli flag over compound

Authorities say they seized assets over debts related to unpaid municipal taxes, but UNRWA says it’s exempt from local levies under a UN convention ratified by Israel

With trucks and forklifts, the authorities took “furniture, IT equipment and other property,” Lazzarini said.

The raid comes after the Knesset passed a pair of laws in late October 2024 banning UNRWA from operating within Israeli territory. Despite the ban, UNRWA operations, including schools, healthcare and other social services, are still hobbling along in East Jerusalem.

Israeli police told AFP in a statement that the seizures were “carried out by the Jerusalem municipality as part of a debt-collection procedure.”

Australia’s Novel Social Media Ban For Kids Sparks Debate As Some Platforms Get A Free Pass

Australia will soon become the first nation to ban children under 16 from creating accounts on many social media platforms, but the law is already facing criticism as some platforms will be excluded.

Beginning on Wednesday, December 10, Australia will require social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, to take “reasonable steps” to block children under 16 years old from creating accounts. Any platform that fails to restrict children under 16 from gaining access could face civil penalties of up to $49.5 million, according to the government’s eSafety Commissioner.

“We haven’t really seen a plan like this be put into action,” said Jessica Melugin, the director of the Center for Technology & Innovation at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. “So I think the world is certainly watching.”

Along with Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, the Australian government also lists Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, and X as “age-restricted” social media platforms. Numerous social media platforms, however, will not be affected by the law, including messaging platforms and gaming apps such as Discord, Roblox, and Steam. Australia’s decision to keep those platforms off its age-restricted list has raised more questions about whether the law will keep children away from online harm.

“It is a little bit of a red flag. I don’t agree with doing it this way at all, but it does make it harder for the government to make its case when you have gaming apps and AI chatbots exempted,” said Melugin. “It seems like a strange line to draw.”

The Australian government says the new law is popular with parents and would reduce the number of risks that children are exposed to online, the BBC reported.

“Delaying children’s access to social media accounts gives them valuable time to learn and grow, free of the powerful, unseen forces of harmful and deceptive design features such as opaque algorithms and endless scroll,” said Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman. “This important normative change will be invaluable to parents and young people alike – creating friction or a check in the online ecosystem that previously did not exist.”

To support its move, the Australian government cited a study that it commissioned earlier this year, which found that more than 70% of children between 10-15 who use social media are exposed to harmful content. The government says that harmful online content includes “sexist, misogynistic or hateful content, content depicting dangerous online challenges or fight videos, or content that encourages unhealthy eating or exercise habits.”

Russia Bans All U.S. Corn and Soy Imports Due to GMO Contamination

Russia’s food safety regulator Rosselkhoznadzor just announced a complete ban starting February 15 on all U.S. corn and soy imports. The ban will be instated due to genetically modified crop and microbial contamination. This is a huge blow to organic and GM farmers alike

Though the total exports to Russia from the US are small in comparison to soybean exports, totaling over $156 million in 2014, with Russia importing only 4,742 metric tons of U.S. corn, the ban will still hurt U.S. farmers.

Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD to finish what we started, CEO Ellison tells CNBC

Paramount Skydance is launching a hostile bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery after it lost out to Netflix

in a months-long bidding war for the legacy assets, the company said Monday.

Paramount will go straight to WBD shareholders with an all-cash, $30-per-share offer. That’s the same bid WBD rejected last week. The offer is backstopped with equity financing from the Ellison family and the private-equity firm RedBird Capital as well as $54 billion in debt commitments from Bank of America, Citi and Apollo Global Management, Paramount said in a news release.

Shares of Paramount were 4% higher in early trading Monday. Shares of Warner Bros. Discovery were up about 6%. Shares of Netflix fell 3%.

Venezuela’s former intelligence leader Hugo Carvajal has CONFIRMED that Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell, both of California, are two of the top names on the VENEZUELA LIST of US politicians that are receiving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN KICKBACKS AND LAVISH GIFTS from the Maduro regime and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations in exchange for using their official power as a means of undermining the Trump administration’s ongoing war against these narcoterrorists. They literally have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are dying from drug overdoses every year as a result of the deadly drugs that these criminal organizations are trafficking into our country on their hands. This is textbook TREASON and AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY during a time of war while assisting in the deaths of our own American citizens. All for personal wealth and financial gain. Schiff has reportedly had a multi-million dollar vacation home purchased for him by the Venezuelan government on the California coast while Swalwell has received luxurious items including gold bars and diamond jewelry in exchange for his treason. The dollar value that these two Benedict Arnolds have racked up is well in to the MILLIONS, according to Carvajal. He is in federal prison now in the US and EXPOSING EVERYTHING. This isn’t about a war crime… This is a distraction and a “cover your ass” operation by the Deep State thugs who have been taking bribes from the enemy at our country’s expense.

The Israeli Enemy

This week’s False Flag Weekly News theme is inspired by J. Michael Springmann’s article “Israel: America’s Oldest Enemy.” Dr. Springmann is the State Department whistleblower who exposed the pre-9/11 Visas for Al-Qaeda program in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Arabic news channels often eschew Israel in favor of the Zionist entity ( ). When they do mention Israel it is usually part of the expression the Israeli enemy ( ).

The former expression conveys the belief, near-universal in this part of the world, that “Israel” is not a legitimate nation-state. Instead, it is temporary settler colony, like the crusader kingdoms of the 12th and 13th centuries, that doesn’t belong there and will soon be gone.

As for the epithet the Israeli enemy, it raises the question: whose enemy, exactly? Is “Israel” the enemy of the 420 million native Arabic speakers (“Arabs”)? Or of the roughly two billion Muslims, alongside the roughly 2.5 billion Christians? That would give “Israel” a grand total of 4.5 billion enemies, a solid majority of the Earth’s population.
