The ban means that Zelensky’s main political opposition has been eliminated. The OPPL was the second largest party in the country and its popularity surpassed that of Zelensky’s Servant of the People party last year. Its leader Viktor Medvedchuk, who claims he is merely looking out for the interests of the Ukrainian people by seeking better relations with Russia, was placed under house arrest last month. The announcement said the party was suspected of acting to “undermine the sovereignty” of Ukraine, while authorities have already banned 10 other political opposition parties for the same reason.

Last month, President Zelensky signed a bill into law that gave the green light to ban any party that challenged the government’s policy on the Russian invasion, empowering courts to seize assets without the right to appeal. Meanwhile, President Zelensky is still being hailed by western legacy media outlets as a valiant defender of democracy in contrast to the brutal autocratic dictators who control Russia. What a joke.

Real safeguards look completely different. Though they often lack the grandiose wording of 'human rights' documents, they do one vital thing. They limit the state's power. They say what government cannot do. Article 39 of Magna Carta, England's great charter of freedom, is worth more than a page of human rights bloviations. The article says, and it still stands, that: 'No free man shall be captured, and or imprisoned, or disseised of his freehold, or of his liberties, or of his free customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or in any way destroyed, nor will we proceed against him by force or proceed against him by arms, but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land.'

A group of soppy idealists led by the militant liberal Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of President Franklin Roosevelt, set out to create a Universal Declaration of Human Rights after World War II. In part this was an attempt to invent a cause for the victorious Allies — awkward, given that the blood-stained Stalin was part of the winning coalition. Yet the document was swooned over and approved as if it mattered — and has been ever since. Read it now and wonder how many UN member states implement its well-intentioned requirements. And at about the same time came the European Convention on Human Rights, which was never meant to be directed against this country. It was drawn up in an attempt to prevent those nations which had become tyrannies, or been subjugated by tyrannies, from sinking back into darkness. Has it done so? Will it do so?

It was not much use against the Covid repressions of mass house arrest, travel bans and regimentation which swept Europe, almost unquestioned and unopposed. Why should it be any use against the worse things which may arise as economic crisis and angry politics once again stalk the Continent? Let us get rid of these useless human rights, which protect us from nothing and give power to those who have not earned it. And let us once again learn to value, treasure and follow the great English documents which have in fact kept us free for centuries.

The EU project is entitled 2022 Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation: The new Code brings together a more diverse range of stakeholders than ever, empowering them to contribute to wide-ranging improvements by signing up to precise commitments relevant to their field. Such commitments include demonetising the dissemination of disinformation; guaranteeing transparency of political advertising; enhancing cooperation with fact-checkers; and facilitating researchers' access to data.

Supporting platforms and industry to meet their commitments under the Code of Practice on Disinformation feeds in to the European Commission’s commitment to a more transparent, safe and trustworthy online environment. Needless to say, The 2022 Strengthened Code does not address the REAL mainstream media practice of fake news, nor does it question the lies of senior government officials.

What is at stake is a comprehensive totalitarian project with a view to sustaining official lies and fake science on behalf of the financial elites. The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen is complicit in suppressing the truth on behalf of Big Pharma. If you have doubts, read the bombshell Secret Report by Pfizer, which is now in the public domain (released under FOI).

This insidious project is tantamount to the establishment of a European Ministry of Truth in blatant violation of the constitutional provisions of the EU’s 27 member states. It goes far beyond Hitler’s propaganda apparatus led by Joseph Goebbels. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, 1933-1945, formulated a principle that if a lie is told often enough, it becomes accepted as the truth. A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” - Joseph Goebbels.

Paul did express his sympathy for the ongoing conflict and those affected but said that the continued spending on a war that is not ours was nonsensical. Senator Rand Paul said this week that the nation’s record-setting inflation is directly tied to actions of the US government, such as continuously providing billions of dollars in aid and weapons to Ukraine to assist in their war with Russia.

During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, the Kentucky Republican Senator compared the ongoing aid for Ukraine to any other government expenditures, which he said contribute significantly to the growing government debt. Paul did express his sympathy for the ongoing conflict and those affected but said that the continued spending on a war that is not ours was nonsensical.

“Inflation is caused by spending money that you don’t have that the Federal Reserve buys the debt,” he said. “So whether it is for Ukraine, whether it is for food stamps here, whether it’s studies of Panamian frogs, it all goes to the debt. And so, it doesn’t make sense, even for a good cause. I’m sympathetic to the Ukrainians. I think the Putin invasion should be condemned. I want the Ukrainians to win.” “But it doesn’t make sense for me to say, ‘Well, America — why don’t we borrow money from China so we can send it to Ukraine?'” he continued.

"For example, they believe that the dominance of the West in global politics and economy is a constant and eternal value. Nothing lasts forever," Putin said. Putin also took a swipe at the European Union, saying that its leaders are "dancing to someone else's tune." "The European Union has finally lost its political sovereignty. Its bureaucratic elites are dancing to someone else's tune, accepting whatever they are told from above, while causing harm to their own population and their own economy,” Putin said.

"Such a divorce from reality, from the demands of society, will inevitably lead to a surge of populism and the growth of radical movements, to serious social and economic changes, to degradation, and in the near future, to a change of elites,” Putin said. The 69-year-old even claimed that Western sanctions on Russia haven't worked. "The goal was understandable — to crush the Russian economy violently, to destroy business chains, forcefully recall Western companies from the Russian market, freeze domestic assets in order to affect industry and finance, the standard of living of citizens. It hasn't worked out. Obviously it hasn't. It has not materialised," Putin said.

• …the authors of the pandemic farce are the same people who today would like to push the world towards a total war and a permanent energy crisis.
• False accusations are one of the means used by those who want to eliminate an adversary whom they fear and cannot fight fairly.
• Even the recent Russian-Ukrainian crisis significantly finds the globalist elite, NATO, the American deep state, the European Union, the World Economic Forum, the entire media machine, and the Vatican all aligned on the same side. Putin’s intervention in Ukraine is considered a threat to the New World Order that must be neutralized even at the cost of a global conflict.
• …the Ukrainian crisis was deliberately provoked by the deep state in order to force the world to carry out the Great Reset reforms, in particular the so-called “technological transition” and the “green shift.” It is the second stage of the globalist technocrat coup, after the pandemic farce.
• Without a crisis, how could the increase in the price of gas and petrol be imposed as an instrument to force companies and individuals to make the famous “ecological transition” that no one has ever voted for and that has been imposed by bureaucrats who are enslaved by the elite?
• …the ideological – and infernal – purposes of the elite make use of the complicity of economic potentates whose aims are merely to make profit.
• The family is certainly at the center of the globalists’ attack. Striking at the family leads indefectibly to the dissolution of the social body, which by nature is incapable of replacing the role of the family.

The court is poised to issue its decision this month, with politicians readying for a barrage of criticism after a leaked draft opinion suggested justices would vote to reverse Roe, handing the decision on whether to legalize abortion back to individual states. At least 26 states are preparing to set severe restrictions on abortion should Roe v Wade be reversed by the Supreme Court. Thirteen states already have trigger laws in place that would automatically ban the procedure if the decision is overturned.

Pro-abortion rights advocates have decried the decision, warning about the consequences it will have for women’s health. “An increase in abortion numbers is a positive development if it means people are getting the health care they want and need,” the Guttmacher Institute said in a statement. “Rather than focusing on reducing abortion, policies should instead center the needs of people and protect their right to bodily autonomy.”

"Please understand, food prices are going to go up," she continues. "You wanna act like it's the farmers' fault — it is not the farmers' fault. We are barely making it to grow the stuff so you guys are able to get it in August, September, October." In his forty-year career as a farmer, Boyd said he never imagined he would be "paying $5.63 for a gallon of diesel fuel, $900 a ton for fertilizer, and all-time high prices for soybean seeds." All of the prices he mentioned are at record highs, pressuring farmers' margins.

He said the American people need to wake up to the crisis in the farming industry, adding, "farming isn't Republican or Democratic, it's food, the land is neutral … this is the time the American people need to support the American farmer and put pressure on the Biden administration to put things in place to help farmers." He mentioned that banks need to provide emergency funding to farmers to get their crops in the ground. Out-of-control inflation has left some farmers unable to plant because of soaring costs.
