'Why Don't You Release Assange?': Mexican President Strikes Back at US Over Human Rights Report
Mexico’s president said the US government’s destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and the ongoing political persecution of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange shows the US State Department’s accusations of human rights violations in Mexico “should not be taken seriously.” | Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador dismissed a report by the US government on Tuesday accusing his administration of human rights violations as “lies.” ● The State Department issued its annual report Monday on “Human Rights Practices.” The publication criticized the Lopez Obrador administration’s treatment of journalists and claimed that in Mexico, “impunity and extremely low rates of prosecution remained a problem for all crimes, including human rights abuses and corruption.” In a stinging rebuke broadcast during his daily news conference, Lopez Obrador described the allegations as politically motivated, and said America’s obvious double standards mean the report “should not be taken seriously.” 💬 “Let's see, human rights? Why don't you release Assange?” he asked, referring to the jailed WikiLeaks publisher who faces potential extradition to the US on espionage charges after revealing war crimes committed by American forces abroad. “If you are talking about journalism and freedom, why are you holding Assange?”
New York City braces for Trump indictment after ex-president urges protests
New York City braces for Trump indictment after ex-president urges protests | Workers erected barricades around a Manhattan courthouse on Monday as New York City braced for a possible indictment of Donald Trump over an alleged hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign. It would be the first-ever criminal case against any U.S. president. On Saturday, Trump urged followers on social media to protest what he said was his looming arrest. ● In his call for protests, Trump raised concerns for law enforcement that supporters might engage in violence similar to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Fearing a trap, however, several far-right grassroots groups have opted not to heed his call, security analysts said. ● A grand jury, which heard further testimony on Monday, could bring charges as soon as this week. Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the White House again in 2024, had predicted he would be arrested on Tuesday.
Greenland to Receive NATO Representation for First Time Ever
In recent years, the Arctic has once again risen to one of the top priorities for the US and NATO. The region, rich in natural resources, has been designated as a potential corridor for strategic competition, particularly with Russia and China, and is seeing massive military investments. | Greenland's government, Naalakkersuisut, and the Danish Foreign Ministry have for the first time agreed to send a Greenlandic diplomat to NATO to represent the remote part of the Danish Realm. ● Greenland, the remotest part of the Danish Realm, has recently become a key area of US and NATO interest amid the military build-up in the far north. The US opened a consulate in Greenland's capital Nuuk and has shown a keen desire to secure access to the rare minerals found in the Greenlandic depths. In 2019, former US President Donald Trump notoriously shocked Denmark with an surprise offer to buy Greenland, but received a cold shoulder from Copenhagen.

Bezalel Smotrich has alleged that the notion of seperate people is “an invention that is less than 100 years old” | "There’s no such thing as Palestinian history or culture, and the Palestinians are not a legitimate ethnic group," Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has claimed. The hardline politician, who is tasked with the administration of the occupied West Bank, made the inflammatory remarks on Sunday during a visit to France. ● Smotrich was speaking at a memorial event commemorating Jacques Kupfer, a prominent Zionist and activist with the right-wing Likud Party, who died back in 2021. The minister delivered his speech while standing at a lectern draped with a flag depicting a variation of the so-called ‘Greater Israel’ map that appears to include the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza and Jordan, footage of the event, which was widely shared online, shows. ● “Is there a Palestinian history or culture? There is none. There is no such thing as a Palestinian people,” the politician stated, scoring applause from the audience.
[The "state of israel" is less than 100 years old. The so-called "israelis" expect the Palestinians to shut up and leave. Neither Sephardic Jews nor Khazars have any right to Palestinian territory. None whatsoever. They are living on stolen land and should leave. The "jewish state" is not a legitimate national entity. It has no right to exist. – editor2 ]

Trump Suggests He Will Be Arrested Next Week
Former President Donald Trump has issued a statement saying he expects to be indicted next week by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and called his supporters to protest and “take our nation back!” | The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is investigating Trump for his company’s classification of a $130,000 reimbursement to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen over a payment allegedly made to adult actress Stormy Daniels.

Vision Impairments in Patients After COVID-19 Vaccination, Doctors Caution Possible Risks
Vision Impairments in Patients After COVID-19 Vaccination, Doctors Caution Possible Risks | House Rep. Mike Belcher (R-N.H.) has been suffering from ocular migraines for almost two years. He took his first Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA immunization in April 2021, and things have not been the same since. Around 12 hours after the shot, Belcher recalled developing symptoms of severe flu and neurological symptoms soon manifested in a matter of days. One unusual symptom stood out: His vision became strange. He started to notice that the red and green color balance in his eyes would shift, and dark spots would appear in his field of vision. Belcher would soon be tormented with painful headaches preceded by a blinding light that would cause searing pain at the back of his eyes... After being transferred from specialist to specialist, Belcher was finally hospitalized in May 2021... Alabama-based neurologist and neuroradiologist Dr. Diane Counce told The Epoch Times that since the vaccine rollouts, she has also seen many patients who, after vaccination, would develop migraines, or experience a worsening or increased frequency of symptoms. These migraines would often manifest with temporary blindness.

Trump Gets Huge Win as YouTube Lifts Ban Ahead of 2024 Presidential Election
President Donald Trump has just scored a big victory as Google-owned video streaming platform YouTube announced it is lifting his account restrictions. | YouTube banned Trump’s account just over two years ago in response to the Democrats’ false claims about Jan. 6. Leslie Miller, vice president of YouTube public policy, said: “Starting today, the Donald J. Trump channel is no longer restricted and the ability to upload new content is restored. 💬 “We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, balancing that with the importance of preserving the opportunity for voters to hear equally from major presidential candidates in the run-up to an election.
Top Archbishop Warns: Soros, Schwab, Gates Pose ‘Immense Threat to Survival of Mankind’
A top Catholic archbishop has issued a warning about the “immense threat” that globalism poses to the future of civilization. | Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, one of the most powerful leaders in the Catholic Church, issued the warning during a speech at the Founding Congress of the International Movement of Russophiles (MIR) this week.

Canadian Lawmakers Want To Euthanize Children Without Parental Consent
Canadian Lawmakers Want To Euthanize Children Without Parental Consent | Canadian lawmakers passed legislation overturning portions of the country’s criminal code outlawing medical assistance in dying (MAID) at the direction of the Supreme Court of Canada in mid-2016. Four years later, Parliament approved an amendment to the law after a lower court ruled the “reasonable foreseeability of natural death” requirement violated the nation’s constitution. In a stunning maneuver, some lawmakers are now proposing additional updates to the statute, allowing doctors to euthanize children without parental consent. ● On February 10, a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying submitted a report to the House of Commons detailing its statutory review of the provisions of Canada’s criminal code related to MAID services and its application. The 138-page document contained 23 recommendations for consideration by lawmakers. ● The 16th recommendation suggests amending the eligibility requirements to “include minors,” meeting the “requisite decision-making capacity upon assessment.” Recommendation 19 asks Parliament to change the MAID law to prioritize the wishes of “mature minors” applying for MAID services over the wishes of their parents or guardians.
USAF Reportedly Sent Another Spy Drone to MQ-9 Crash Site Shortly After Incident Over Black Sea
Earlier, amid the back-and-forth blame game over the downing of an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea near Crimea on March 14, the US Air Force released declassified footage allegedly depicting the encounter. The video does not seem to substantiate the previous US claim about the drone going down due to a collision with the Russian jet. | The US military sent another unmanned aerial vehicle, an MQ-9 Reaper drone - the same model as the one that crashed in the Black Sea on Tuesday - shortly after the incident, US media has reported. The UAV was reportedly dispatched in the hopes of surveying the crash site and monitoring Russia's efforts to recover the wreckage, according to cited American officials. ● Furthermore, the US is mulling another drone flight over the Black Sea in the coming days, the officials added, echoing earlier statements made by the US State Department, which declared that its drone missions in international airspace would continue. ● The US MQ-9 Reaper drone fell in the Black Sea after engaging in a sharp maneuvering as Russian fighter jets were scrambled to identify the aircraft flying in the direction of Crimea with its transponders turned off.
■ Russian Navy Blockades Downed US Drone (Hal Turner Show)
Dmitry Medvedev (Дмитрий Медведев) | About the American drone | Brief conclusion: there is no international convention on this topic. The 1944 Chicago Convention and other international documents do not regulate these issues. Incidentally, let me remind you that the Americans destroyed the Open Skies Treaty, which gave the right to military inspections. ● Domestic legislation is just being formed. But the Air Code operates the terms "prohibited zones" and "restricted zones. Thus, according to Article 15 of the AC, prohibited zones, hazardous areas (areas of training grounds, blasting operations and the like), restricted areas for aircraft flights and other elements of airspace structure established for activities in airspace are established. This is done by the government. Drones, too, must abide by these rules. Especially during combat operations, of which all airspace users are aware. Particularlybecause the moment an aircraft or UAV enters the territorial sea is sometimes difficult to register. ● And this is a part of our territory, to which our sovereignty extends. All in all, simply put, the Americans have gone off the rails. And it is not OK to be ceremonial with them. Though military contacts are necessary, of course. Especially against the backdrop of American bastards like Senator Graham claiming to shoot down Russian planes. By the way, air accidents occasionally happen to such critters, too.

US Nuclear Plant Reveals Facility Spilled 400,000 Gallons of Radioactive Water
The Gopher State is home to two nuclear plants, and is no stranger to spills of the radioactive variety; in fact, its Monticello plant previously reported leaks in 1981 and 2009. | State regulators in Minnesota revealed on Thursday that officials are monitoring the ongoing cleanup effort of some 400,000 gallons of radioactive water spilt at the Monticello nuclear power plant. ● Local officials indicated the leak "poses no health and safety risk to the local community or environment," and that it has not reached the Mississippi River nor any drinking water sources. The Minnesota plant sits some 35 miles upstream from the river, which provides 23% of the nation's drinking water. ● The plant, which is managed by the Xcel Energy utility company, initially reported the massive spill to state and federal officials in late November 2022. It's reported the agency only came forward now because authorities wanted to first gain additional knowledge on the situation before informing the public.
Massive Media Coverup After Putin’s Hypersonic Missiles Decimate NATO Command in Ukraine
Russia Destroys the NATO G-3 ‘Operations Center’ for Ukraine with up to 2 Dozen US and British Officers Killed | NATO’s press assets are doing everything possible to avoid several painful truths.
● Russia’s Kinzhal and other hypersonic missiles make NATO’s entire military posture a joke, Russia can destroy it all, underground bases, aircraft carriers and anything else
● Russia can build dozens of hypersonic missiles a week, not a month or year…their design is based on the Iskandar and uses key components in mass production for other systems….Russia will NOT run out of missiles
● Missiles shot down by NATO/Ukraine were all target drones, Soviet era flyable scrap that exists in not the thousands but tens of thousands
● Russia now threatening to hit Ukraine’s ‘rear’ in Poland as well with NATO succumbing to blackmail with the Continental US bare to Russian nuclear attack and totally undefended unlike Israel
It’s been 72 hours since Russia’s retaliatory attack on Ukraine hit NATO command and control, perviously “hands off’ for Russia but no more. When Ukrainian forces began firing on civilian cars inside Russia and wounded a ten year old boy trying to protect his fremale [?] classmates from being trafficked by Khazarian pedophiles, we enter a new stage in the war.
