NATO’s campaign against Tchaikovsky and, by extension, against all Russian and global culture may best be viewed as a chess game where NATO are the white hats and civilisation must play black. NATO’s aim in this sick game is to uncouple Tchaikovsky from the rest of his team, to control the cultural centre of the board and, by removing him from their cultural chess board, to pulverise Russian culture, to demote the Russian language to a patois of little, if any, significance and to say that Russian culture is as nothing to the riches Zelensky and his cross-dressing friends bring to our culturally diverse world.

Though it is a solid, if somewhat demonic plan, Tchaikovsky’s CV makes it fatally flawed. It cannot and must not succeed.

Tchaikovsky, recall, is best known for his ballet scores and his 1812 overture, which maps his fellow Russians’ demolition of Napoleon’s Grande Armée. Though ballet, Le Grande Armée and being a long dead Russian make strange bedfellows, taken together, they show why NATO is on a fool’s errand with this cultural terrorism.

Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who alleged President Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, discusses how she's now being 'silenced' as a result of her unsuccessful lawsuit against the New York Times on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'

Ukrainians are committing war crimes against their own people, Amnesty International has revealed. The group revealed that Ukraine is using children and other civilians as human shields in its war against Russia, launching attacks from populated areas and turning schools, hospitals, and homes into military outposts — all things that Amnesty International says constitute a violation of humanitarian law.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined her vision for the future of EU-China relations at a speech in Brussels on Thursday.

"It is clear that our relations have become more distant and more difficult in the last few years," she said, but added, "I believe it is neither viable or in Europe's interest to de-couple from China."

In the speech at the European Policy Centre and Mercator Institute for China Studies, ahead of a trip with French President Emmanuel Macron to China next week, von der Leyen said Europe should rather "de-risk" its relationship with China. 

Tensions between the EU and Beijing significantly worsened over a host of issues, including the Taiwan question, China's repression of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and the EU's WTO dispute with China over its trade restrictions against member state Lithuania.

Russia and Iran are ready to sign a strategic partnership agreement, Zelensky hedges his bets if Artyomovsk falls and Finland joining NATO is fraught with a direct NATO-Russia conflict. These stories topped Thursday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.

Investigative Journalist Sonia Elijah has uncovered data that shows both Pfizer and Biontech were actively falsifying lab results in order to bring their vaccines to market. In this interview, Redacted host Clayton Morris and Sonia Elijah discuss the bombshell report.

The Vatican on Thursday responded to Indigenous demands and formally repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery,” the theories backed by 15th-century “papal bulls” that legitimized the colonial-era seizure of Native lands and form the basis of some property laws today.

A Vatican statement said the papal bulls, or decrees, “did not adequately reflect the equal dignity and rights of Indigenous peoples” and have never been considered expressions of the Catholic faith.

The statement, from the Vatican’s development and education offices, marked a historic recognition of the Vatican's own complicity in colonial-era abuses committed by European powers. It was issued under history's first Latin American pontiff, who was hospitalized Thursday with a respiratory infection, exactly one year after Francis met at the Vatican with Indigenous leaders from Canada who raised the issue.

"Will the great survivor, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, be finally brought down by the US Jewish groups he and his fragile right-wing coalition have alienated? Chris Hedges answers the question

In the latest evidence of major shifts in global power dynamics, the Saudi government has approved the kingdom's partial membership in a Chinese-led economic, political and security bloc.    

Saudi Arabia will join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization with the initial status of a "dialogue partner." Formed in 2001, the SCO's full members are China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Iran is expected to become a full member later this year, while other dialogue partners include two more countries that have traditionally been in the U.S. sphere of influence: Qatar and Egypt. Underscoring the group's security component, SCO members will conduct a joint "counter-terrorism exercise" in Russia's Chelyabinsk region -- north of Kazakhstan -- in August.   

No wonder the news media are totally silent about the data that show that Sweden’s open society policy was what the rest of the world should have done, too. 

Numerous studies have shown Sweden’s excess death rate to be among the lowest in Europe during the pandemic and in several analyses, Sweden was at the bottom...

‘This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats - the enemy of the hardworking men and women of this Country - have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.

‘The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

In a frantic scene at the border, dozens of babies and small children were thrown over the river that separates the US from Mexico in El Paso, Texas, as more than 1,000 migrants rushed the border Wednesday afternoon, the US Border Patrol confirmed.

Exclusive photos captured by The Post show desperate parents throwing their children over the international boundary Wednesday — after rumors circulated on social media that they would be allowed entry into the US if they surrendered themselves to immigration agents.

The false information spread on social media and caused a stampede, as frantic families with kids in their arms ran for miles, hoping to make it to “the front of the line,” The Post witnessed.

The hordes, mostly Venezuelans, crowded near a gate in the border wall where they believed they could seek asylum if they surrendered to the Border Patrol.

Article III Project founder and president Mike Davis shares his insight on former President Donald Trump’s indictment and how Democrats ‘come up’ with charges to attack their political enemies on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

The US Senate voted 66-30 on 29 March to repeal the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) that allowed former president George W. Bush to launch a military invasion of Iraq under false claims that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The bill is now headed to the Republican-led House of Representatives, where it remains unclear if lawmakers will put it on the floor for a vote.

"Congress has abdicated its powers to the executive for too long," said Senator Tim Kaine, who over the past several years has authored the Senate’s efforts to repeal the Iraq AUMF. "Presidents can do mischief if there are outdated authorizations on the books," he added.

In a proposed update to how the government tracks Americans’ race and ethnicity, the Biden administration is asking the public for input on how it might go about differentiating Black people who are descendants of slaves in America from those whose families arrived more recently as immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean or other countries.

Supporters of the change say one reason they are pushing it is to quantify who would be eligible to receive reparations for slavery should the government ever agree to pay them.

The Biden administration has proposed combining existing race and ethnicity questions so that “Hispanic or Latino” would no longer be a separate question, but instead would be one of several choices on the race question. It has also proposed creating a new race question category for Americans of Middle Eastern or North African heritage.

A new state law in California could incentivize “bad actors” from around the world to skirt custodial laws by relocating to the Golden State, a conservative legal group claims.

“We think it’s a drastic overreach by California,” Emilie Kao, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), told Fox News Digital. “Not only does it violate parents’ fundamental rights to direct the upbringing of their children, it also violates federal law on child custody and jurisdiction because it basically supersedes the federal law that gives jurisdiction to states on child custody matters.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom last week signed SB 107, which will block state officials from enforcing laws from other states that hinder access to transgender medical procedures and drugs.

If passed, the new legislation will grant the U.S. government sweeping powers to crack down on any technologies and services it sees as a threat. Remarkably, that includes VPN technology.

Those opposing the bill say it will give the state the power to police the entire internet and any platforms on it. Furthermore, some referred to it as the “Chinafication of America.”

The legislation is frighteningly similar to that in China, which has some of the world’s harshest internet censorship.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told Congress on Wednesday that the US should be targeting Iran’s Quds Force, a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), following a drone attack in Syria that killed a US contractor.

“We do know that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard [Corps], and specifically their Quds Force … that group there is what we need to be targeting, and targeting them very harshly over time, and that’s exactly what we plan on doing,” Milley said, according to Al-Monitor.

The Pentagon said the drone that hit a US base in Syria last week was of “Iranian origin” but provided no evidence for the claim. President Biden ordered airstrikes against facilities the Pentagon said were used by groups affiliated with the IRGC, referring to Shia militias that operate in Syria.

Turkey’s parliament voted unanimously to formally approve Finland’s membership to NATO on Thursday, marking a historic step for the traditionally nonaligned Nordic country that shares an 830-mile border with Russia.

The vote follows a months-long saga that saw Turkey demand certain concessions from Finland and its neighbor Sweden, both of whom applied to NATO in May 2022 in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Joining NATO requires unanimous approval from all member states. Ankara’s vote late on Thursday marked Finland’s clearing of its final hurdle in the accession process.

Avi Silverberg, the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting, reached his limit with the nonsense going on today and entered a woman’s weightlifting competition in Canada to make his point.

He set and set a new record easily passing the previous mark that was held by a trans lifter. Silverberg, beard and all, entered Saturday’s Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, after identifying as a female.

He easily bench-pressed nearly 370 pounds and beat the current Alberta women’s record by almost 100 pounds. The old record was 275 pounds. It was held by trans athlete Anne Andres.

CONS Women, a network of women athletes & our supporters advocating for female protected categories in sport, posted the video of the event that quickly went viral.

GOP Senator from Missouri Eric Schmitt blew the whistle on President Joe Biden and his team’s scandalous behavior. Schmitt said:

“Biden and his team colluded with social media to censor truthful info on a scale never before seen. The FBI planted false info to deceive social media into censoring Hunter Biden’s laptop. FBI had a 50% success rate in getting info censored.” 

The Attorney General of Louisiana Jeff Landry said: “As a result of collusion between social media companies, CDC and NIH, American citizens, scientists, and journalists were censored & de-platformed for their valid concerns about lockdowns, masks, and vaccines while deceitful voices like Fauci were elevated.”

Former President Donald Trump fired back after the news broke of his indictment Thursday in New York City. Trump slammed the move calling it political persecution at the high levels before calling Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg a disgrace.

Trump said: “The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

The federal government has lost at least $276 billion in taxpayer money that was designated as “COVID-19 relief funding,” according to the estimates of inspectors general.

The funds were lost due to “fraud” and “waste,” according to cumulative estimates from the inspectors general of the Labor Department, Treasury Department, and Small Business Administration (SBA).

The revelation was revealed during recent testimony before a House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee in Washington, D.C.

Larry Turner, inspector general for the Labor Department, estimated that $76 billion slated for “unemployment insurance” was deployed via fraudulent claims.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to former President Donald Trump’s indictment by telling Alvin Bragg to pound sand. DeSantis said:

“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. 

“Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.”

Israeli and Jordan officials agreed to ban sit-ins at the Al-Aqsa compound during the holy month of Ramadan at last month's Aqaba summit, according to anonymous sources who spoke to the Arabi21 news website.

The two countries reportedly agreed to restrict time spent by worshippers at Al-Aqsa during February's US-brokered Aqaba summit, which was roundly criticised at the time for failing to put meaningful pressure on Israel as it carried out deadly attacks in the occupied West Bank.

Israel's government is "on a rampage" against human rights, the new head of Human Rights Watch said on Thursday and urged the United States and other allies to do more to hold it accountable for alleged abuses and persuade it to change course.

A planned overhaul of the judiciary by Israel's religious-nationalist government would be "a disaster" for human rights, HRW Executive Director Tirana Hassan told Reuters.

She called on Washington to follow through after it issued a rare reproach over the move.
