NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand has gone full police state. Anyone with a different POV [point of view] is an enemy. New Zealand government booklets being released telling the public that if they suspect their friends or family are opposing government policies, including COVID measures, they should be reported as terrorists.
POLAND - Thousands of civilian volunteers, including children, are to be recruited by Warsaw in a military training program during the winter, the Defense Ministry has said. Poland wants “to train as many people as possible” to be prepared for a “crisis,” Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak stated. Around 4,000 people already went through the first phase of the ‘Train with the Army’ program, in October and November. The Defense Ministry now wants to double the number of volunteers and teach military skills to up to 8,000 Polish nationals, it announced on Monday.
SWITZERLAND - God is dead, according to the World Economic Forum, who have also declared that “Jesus is fake news,” and that WEF leaders have “acquired divine powers” to rule over humanity. According to the WEF, a new one world religion has arrived and it unites all of humanity in worshipping at the altar of climate science, techno-communism and eugenics. Klaus Schwab’s right hand man Yuval Noah Harari has announced that the WEF has been so successful in its plans that it is “acquiring divine powers” of “creation and destruction.” The blasphemy doesn’t stop there. Harari also promises the WEF will turn humans into gods.
VATICAN - The conflict in Ukraine will likely be prolonged because it’s a “global war” with too many interests involved in it, Pope Francis has warned. Russia has been saying that the “proxy war” has actually been waged against it in the neighboring country by the US and NATO. “I don’t see an end [to the fighting in Ukraine] in the near future because this is a global war. Let’s not forget this,” the pontiff said in an interview with Spanish paper ABC on Sunday.
USA - In January, 2020 on the eve of the economically and socially devastating covid lockdowns, the CEO of the world’s largest investment fund, Larry Fink of Blackrock, issued a letter to Wall Street colleagues and corporate CEOs on the future of investment flows. In the document, modestly titled “A Fundamental Reshaping of Finance”, Fink, who manages the world’s largest investment fund with some $7 trillion then under management, announced a radical departure for corporate investment. Money would “go green.” In his closely-followed 2020 letter Fink declared, “In the near future – and sooner than most anticipate – there will be a significant re-allocation of capital… Climate risk is investment risk.” Further he stated, “Every government, company, and shareholder must confront climate change.”
USA - Financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong said just before the 2022 midterm elections that voter fraud and cheating will set up a very troubling 2023. Armstrong is predicting “a major turning point in January of 2023.” Armstrong explains, “The computer (Socrates program) is showing that January is going to be the major turning point for the entire year of 2023... The currencies are rallying against the dollar, and that should go into early January and then after that, this thing looks like death warmed over. Perhaps it is the insanity of handing Patriot missiles over to Ukraine. I know Ukraine very well, and I am telling you they will use them offensively and not defensively. They will use them to attack Russia. Their whole objective is to expand the war.”
USA - It’s all about control. A coalition of private companies has released a “digital ID blueprint,” which urges individual states to adopt the policies necessary to establish a digital ID system. “In December 2022, the Better Identity Coalition released a complementary set of policy recommendations for State government officials, entitled Better Identity in America: A Blueprint for State Policymakers,” according to its website. “These recommendations are squarely focused on ways governments can improve the privacy and security of digital identity solutions.”
JAPAN - The formally pacifist country has unveiled a major $320 billion five-year defense spending plan. Japan adopted sweeping changes to its national defense strategy on Friday, announcing a major military spending plan. It pledged to attain long-debated “counterattack capabilities” to target the bases and command centers of its adversaries with long-range missiles. The plan, spanning a five-year period, envisions boosting the country’s defense spending to 2% of GDP, which constitutes a 50% hike in the annual military budget and amounts to a total of some $320 billion.
BELGIUM - Thousands took to the streets in Brussels on Friday to demand a freeze on spiking energy prices, and better pay amid high inflation in Belgium and the EU. Temperatures in the Belgian capital fell below zero Celsius on the day, but the rally still attracted more than 16,500 people, according to police. The action was supported by leading trade unions, disrupting public services and transport systems in Brussels and elsewhere across the country. The capital’s airport said that some flights had to be cancelled. The unions believe that Belgian authorities should follow the example of neighboring France and cap energy prices. A joint statement declared that protests will continue until workers' demands are met.
RUSSIA - Is nuclear war between Russia and the US possible? Some believe the stand off between Moscow and Washington could eventually see atomic weapons used. Discussions about strengthening nuclear arms control have been ongoing for decades, but have recently receded into the background, with leading powers now hurling direct threats at each other. Despite the obvious catastrophic consequences of a nuclear war, in which world leaders have repeatedly noted there would be no winners, Moscow and Washington continue to warn that they are ready to use their arsenals in extreme circumstances.
TURKEY - Turkey warned Greece to back off and stop militarizing the Aegean islands, otherwise Ankara “will take the necessary steps on the ground.” “Either Greece takes a step back and abides by the agreements, or we do what is necessary,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Tuesday during a joint press conference with his Romanian counterpart Bogdan Aurescu in Ankara.
GREECE - The Greek government lashed out at Turkey Monday after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened over the weekend to hit Athens with ballistic missiles. “It is unacceptable and universally condemnable for threats of a missile attack against Greece to be made by an allied country, a NATO member,” Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said Monday, arriving in Brussels for a European Union foreign affairs meeting. “North Korean attitudes cannot and must not enter the North Atlantic Alliance,” he said.
USA - More than one in five Americans (21%) believe in Santa Claus, the fabled North Pole-dwelling suit-clad old man who delivers presents to deserving recipients on Christmas Eve in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, according to a recent holiday-themed Ipsos poll published on Thursday. A further 46% of respondents claim their minor-age children believe in Santa Claus. Meanwhile, fully three out of four respondents are apparently convinced the majority of their fellow Americans have forgotten what Christmas really means.
WALES - The new commissioner Derek Walker inherits an annual budget of £1.5 million a year from Sophie Howe. Wales' next Future Generations Commissioner is not underestimating "the challenge ahead" as he takes up his £95,000 post tasked with encouraging public bodies to consider the long-term consequences of decisions. Derek Walker will be only Wales' second Future Generations Commissioner after Sophie Howe, who has done the job since 2016, steps down early next year. Mr Walker is leaving his post as chief executive of the not-for-profit organisation Cwmpas for his new job which was advertised with a salary range of £90-95,000 per year plus "reasonable expenses".
USA - A growing number of consumers are falling behind on their car payments, a trend financial analysts fear will continue, in a sign of the strain soaring car prices and prolonged inflation are having on household budgets. Repossessions tumbled at the start of the pandemic when Americans got a boost from stimulus checks and lenders were more willing to accommodate those behind on their payments.
