🇷🇸 🇽🇰 What is happening in Kosovo and Metohija? - @rybar with @balkanossiper
The situation at the end of July 31, 2022
The howling of air sirens in Kosovska Mitrovica, which sounded at 18.30 Moscow time, marked the beginning of another escalation of the long-standing conflict.
▪️ From August 1, in the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, new rules for the entry of Serbs were to start working. All cars had to be re-registered with Kosovo numbers, and instead of Serbian registration certificates, a special “declaration sheet” should be received. Identity cards issued by the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs are now considered invalid.
These requirements also apply to ethnic Serbs living in the region and their relatives from central Serbia. Such measures will significantly complicate the life of the Serbian population of the region and are in fact a violation of the Brussels agreements.
Moreover, this is direct pressure on the Serbian population. Civilians are bureaucratically forced to abandon the truth “Kosovo is Serbia” and admit that Kosovo is a different state. Nothing but irritation and a desire to close the problem of the self-proclaimed republic once and for all, such measures do not cause.
▪️ Since June, the Serbian authorities have been warning about provocations being prepared in the region.
According to President Aleksandar Vučić, Western conductors of the Kosovo Albanians were actually preparing an operation to clean up the Serbian population by autumn. However, the Kosovo authorities decided not to wait for either autumn or the official date for the entry into force of the new rules.
On July 31, the Brnjak and Yarinje border checkpoints were unilaterally blocked, and the passage of cars with Serbian license plates through the Rudnica checkpoint was also suspended. In turn, the Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Kosovo, Albin Kurti, blames the Serbian authorities for the escalation.
▪️ Fakes about hospitalized Kosovo police officers injured in clashes with the Serbian army multiplied on the Web. However, both the Serbian Ministry of Defense and the Kosovo police denied reports of clashes. Nevertheless, shooting was recorded at the Brnjak and Yarinje border crossings, and one Serb was hospitalized in Kosovska Mitrovica.
▪️ The NATO peacekeeping contingent KFOR and units of the Serbian Armed Forces were put on alert, and the Kosovo special forces ROSU were pulled into the border areas in the north of the region. In the evening, negotiations between the Serbian General Staff and KFOR took place, and the American ambassador to Kosovo said that he had persuaded the Pristina authorities to postpone the application of the scandalous decision on license plates until September 1.
🔻This is not the first time we have seen the pulling together of the Kosovo security forces, as well as bringing the Serbian army to combat readiness and the transfer of its units to the south: last fall, at the same Yarinje checkpoint, the confrontation almost reached an armed clash.
Today, however, one cannot underestimate the general background of the international situation, as well as the support that Britain and Germany have been providing to the Kosovo Albanians in recent months.
Now we are faced with the usual provocation and probing the reaction of both the Serbs and the international community. Despite Aleksandar Vucic's calls to keep the peace, the intervention of peacekeepers and Western partners, there is every reason to believe that an armed clash in the north of Kosovo and Metohija is only a matter of time. And until September 1 and the entry into force of the rules of travel to Kosovo, humiliating for all Serbs, are within easy reach.

🇽🇰 What's happening in Kosovo:
▪️ The authorities of the self-proclaimed Kosovo announced that from August 1, Serbian documents will cease to be valid in the territory under its control, instead of which a temporary certificate will be issued at the entrance to the region, at the same time, the mandatory re-registration of cars with Serbian numbers to the numbers of RKS "Republic of Kosovo" will begin
▪️ Serbian President Vucic said that the police of the self-proclaimed Kosovo at midnight will begin an operation in the north of the region and block the entrance
▪️ Vučić also said: "I ask the Albanians to come to their senses, I ask the Serbs not to succumb to provocations and not to do anything that could lead to a conflict ... if they try to start persecuting Serbs, bullying Serbs, killing Serbs - Serbia will win"
▪️ local publications write that in the evening in the northern, Serb-populated areas of Kosovo, alarm sirens sounded, which fell silent after a few hours, at the base of the border police of the self-proclaimed Kosovo at the Yarine checkpoint, special forces in bulletproof vests and with machine guns were deployed, the Yarine checkpoint and " Brnjak" to the central part of Serbia
▪️ Kosovo Albanians gather in groups in "their" southern part of Kosovska-Mitrovica near the bridge leading to the northern, "Serbian" side, where local Serbs gather and build barricades on the highways, reporters report
▪️ The Serbian Ministry of Defense denied reports of the military entering the territory of Kosovo and Metohija and clashes with the police of the self-proclaimed Kosovo and urged not to spread misinformation
▪️ The police of the self-proclaimed Kosovo announced that they shot at their employees, there were no injuries, later journalists reported that one Serb was injured at the barricades at the Yarine checkpoint
▪️ The Serbian authorities stated that the actions of Pristina are aimed at expelling Serbs from the province, who, under the agreements of 2015, are guaranteed autonomy in the region
▪️ The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement: "We call on Pristina and the United States and the EU behind it to stop provocations and respect the rights of Serbs in Kosovo" and called what is happening "a step towards the expulsion of the Serb population from Kosovo, the expulsion of Kosovo-Serb institutions from there that ensure the protection of the rights of Serbian residents from the arbitrariness of the Pristina radicals"
▪️ in 2021, Pristina already forbade the entry of cars with Serbian numbers and deployed special forces in armored vehicles and snipers to the north, the Serbs in response blocked the highway, despite the use of tear gas and special equipment, and from the side of central Serbia, military personnel in armored vehicles were on duty on the highway, helicopters flew around the area Mi-35 and MiG-29 fighters - as a result, they agreed to seal Serbian numbers at the entrance to the region, and RKS at the exit

🇽🇰❌🇷🇸 — 🇧🇦 Banjaluka: Kosovo Prime-Minister Kurti: Serbia's Vučić and Petković responsible for the blockade and shooting
— "Albin Kurti blamed Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petković as the instigators of "unrest" in the north of Kosovo.
He specified roadblocks and shooting as riots, and for the actions he described as "aggressive" he stated that they were planned in advance in Belgrade and Raška, and that they were preceded by "meetings and gatherings of fear and threats".
Law enforcement agencies are collecting information and monitoring the situation, confirms Kurti, stressing that they will act in defense of legality and the "sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kosovo".
He called on the citizens whom he addressed in Albanian, including the text that accompanied this address, to follow the announcements of the police and the government, and to "not allow" them to be "misinformed" by the official Belgrade media, but also by any media in Kosovo that "knowingly serves or unwittingly becomes their prey"."

🔴 The people are responsible and we are all at stake to choose between a lofty Iraq or a vassal Iraq.
🔴 Whoever hears the call for reform and does not support it will be a prisoner of violence, militias and humiliation.

🇧🇦Anon: In these complex world relations, the Republic of Croatia assured diplomatic support from the USA and the UK to change the election law via HR (although they were priror to this on the Bosniak side). But some 3000 people came to protest and HR retreated with the proposed election law changes and gave 6 weeks to domestic politicians to find solutions.
In October of this year there will be elections in BiH. There are high chances that Croats will be scraped off their continuous nation status. If the situation goes that way Croatia will suspend Dayton under article 60 of Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and Croats in BiH will declare their own entity.

🇧🇦 Anon: The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) stopped the 4 year war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It defined BiH as one country with two entities (Republika Srpska and the Federation) and three constituent peoples (Croats, Serbs and Bosniaks) among a few others (national minorities). It guarantees the three constituent people of BiH that they will be represented in the government, elect their own representatives, hold parity and have the possibility of veto in the legislative chamber. All of this was done using ethnic quotas. What was done poorly in Dayton is that representative of each nation was equated it with their ethnicity and not as a legitimate individual within their constituent nation. This is the first loophole that Bosniaks used to create problems in Federation.
The bodies that have a guaranteed ethnicity are: the three-member Presidency (one member for each constituent people), the upper house of State Parliament (House of People), the upper house of Federation Parliament (BiH and Federation has a bicameral parliament) and the Constitutional Court both on State and Federation level.
The lower house of both Parliaments (House of Representatives) is organized according to the principle of one man, one vote. House of People has its Croat, Bosniak or Serb club and every club can say that particular law is harmful to the vital national interests of that constituent people.
The High Representative was only supposed to supervise the implementation of the peace agreement, but in 1997. he was granted ad hoc so-called Bonn powers (completely illegal, more about it at this link: ) and subsequent decisions of the VP initiated the process of centralization of BiH and the reduction of the national rights of the constituent peoples. Since the Bosniaks are the most numerous people and the Croats the least numerous, it is not difficult to conclude who benefited from these decisions. I would single out the Barry Amandanes and Petrich amendments to the Constitution of the Federation as bad moves by the international community. You can read more about it at the following link (unfortunately only in Croatian:)
Core of the crisis in BiH today: OHR issued a decree requiring that in the half of the country known as the Federation, each canton would have to elect 1 Serb, 1 Croat and 1 Bosniak delegate to the Federation's House of Peoples. This meant that Gorazde municipality would elect 1 Croat to the House even though the entire municipality has only 23 Croats, and would have the same number of Croat representatives as Posavina canton which has 33,600 Croats. The result was that the overwhelmingly Bosniak population of Gorazde is now electing a "Croat" delegate to the House of Peoples, effectively denying Croats the guarantee of "constituent nation" status that had been guaranteed to them in Dayton. This loophole (created by OHR) of Bosniaks being able to elect Croat delegates in cantons with fewer Croats is now the subject of a plot in certain Bosniak circles: to have Bosniaks elect enough Croats in enough cantons in the October 2022 elections so that Bosniaks delegates and "Croat" delegates elected by Bosniaks can eliminate the majority of the Croat population from power.
In order for Croats to put an end to this kind of fraud, political representatives sent an appeal to State Constituional Court known as the Ljubic case, in which the Constitutional Court confirmed that there should be legitimacy for every political representative (only Croats may vote for Croat representive). Based on that decision, the Croats want the Electoral Law to be amended so that Croats can exercise their rights from the DPA. A few months ago, negotiations were organized to reach an agreement between Bosniaks and Croats. Croats gave roughly 10 variations, but Bosniaks refused every one of them and did not give any of their own.

1. Air defense deployment in Taipei (invented by a blogger in Haifa)
2. Taiwan Air Force fighter alert (invented by a journalist in Mumbai)
3. Armada of the US Navy in the Taiwan Strait (video a year ago from a completely different place)

🇺🇸 🦅 Nothing more starkly divides Americans than guns, overall the assault weapon ban won't pass. Handing gun owners their wet dream (second only to red dawn), does nothing but energize the militant right and convert others to join them.
🔵 Theoretically, if the Senate passed an assault weapon ban it wouldn't change the situation on the ground very much. The United States is based on federalism. Each state has their own sovereignty basically and even counties are quite powerful compared to centralization of laws in countries like France. So local laws are a reality in the US.
🔵 For example, the abortion issue. Republicans struck down a federal law, the minor changes it brought were mainly symbolic. If assault weapons are banned, some of the Democrat states would maybe attempt to enforce the ban, but it wouldn't be much of a change compared to the current situation. Democrat states would be unable to stop 2A sanctuary counties within them as well. While Republicans are notorious for never fighting back, local police do. Local sheriffs arrest federal police whenever they try to grab guns in these areas.
🔵 Remember that sheriffs and local police turn a blind eye to weapon violations if that's the only thing that has happened. "Alright son, just keep it safe" and they won't bother you. So, if an assault weapon ban happened and people were still taking their guns to the range local police would not step in. This already happens in California where local law enforcement turns a blind eye to "assault weapons" where they routinely drop weapon charges.
🔵 And the manufacturing base of them is in red states anyways. We're already seeing companies cut off blue states from the supply, including law enforcement and state agents.

🇺🇸 🇹🇼 Republicans ready bill to lease Taiwan weapons in stand off with China
The bill, which is the brainchild of House GOP Rep. Michelle Steel and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, is modeled after an early 1940s program that allowed the U.S. government to bolster European Allies without having to directly enter World War II itself.
"Taiwan is our greatest partner in the Indo-Pacific region, and their continued sovereignty is essential to challenging the New Axis of Evil," said Blackburn, R-TN. "Taiwan should know that the United States will support them with defense supplies – including weapons and machinery – regardless of what the Chinese Communist Party says."

🇺🇸 An entire North Carolina police department resigned after a Black woman town manager was hired
🔵 The mass exodus of an entire police department after the hiring of a Black town manager in North Carolina has opened a conversation about public safety and race relations in a small town of just over 1,500 residents.
🔵 Brittney Hinnant, a Kenly resident, said she feels like the situation is a "race issue" given that Jones is Black, while the entire Kenly Police Department is White. Hinnant also said she doesn't think the police department supports Black people and she feels they often harass Black residents.
🔵 "I feel like they don't want a Black woman over top of them, basically managing them or telling them what to do," Hinnant said.

Anon: Thanks to the data compiled by LeakyVax and others, we can see that the Monkeypox "epidemic" is a gay plague above all else. This presents a risk to the American ruling class as it undermines their constant messaging about egalitarian ideals and the "values" of tolerance for gays, transexuals and other types of sexual degenerates. With global and especially American parasite stress heightened, the Gay American Empire knows the idea of "gays spread disease" is incredible dangerous for the stability of their continent-wide nuclear armed insane asylum.
From a geo-political point of view the media is like a giant ship, hard to steer to a new course, and its current course is obsession with medical data. The past two years of medical histrionics have heightened people's antennas to the spread of disease. Before monkeypox, counter-narratives were already being spread to prevent "immigrants spread disease" from catching on. But because gays are a priest-class of the gay American empire, not a golem to bludgeon whites with like black immigrants, the defense of gays and their degenerate habits have been more neurotic and obvious.
The reality is that nature used to punish these populations of people for their unhealthy behavior, and that ancient codes of conduct were laid down not to "stifle sexual freedom" but to prevent the spread of disease. Societal morals often descend from common sense reproductive health measures. If not for HIV drugs and antibiotics these communities of sex pests would have long ago succumbed to auto-immune disorders and other sexually transmitted diseases.
This becomes a societal issue as well as gays and other sex pests have institutionalized preying on children and fetishize spreading their diseases to the general population. Any healthy society would already have put these people in death camps.

This study, also from the Netherlands, describes how distinct networks of spread are formed by heterosexual and homosexual networks.
Below is a simplified figure that shows how transmission within a heterosexual network can loosely be modelled by a bipartite graph, where men transmit to women but not men, and women transmit to men but not women. However, in a homosexual network there is no such separation between nodes, so they have significantly higher connectivity, which means disease can transmit to more nodes in more ways, and the average distance between nodes is shorter in an exponential manner.
This is an important concept in describing the reality of the current Monkeypox outbreak, and explains one reason why homosexuals in particular are such concentrated reservoirs for a variety of diseases. The fact they also adopt behaviours like casually having many anonymous partners, practices involving the exchange of bodily fluids, and even phenomena like bugchasing, only increases this.

The demographic niche of extreme degenerates catching and spreading Monkeypox seem to have more close contact with 0-9 year old children than 18-29 year old adult females, and over twice as many 10-17 year old boys have been infected as girls in the same age group.

🇺🇸 Biden administration to close border wall gaps in Arizona
The Biden administration said Thursday it had authorized US Customs and Border Protection to close gaps in a border wall in Arizona near the Morelos Dam in order to protect migrants from drowning and sustaining injuries while trying to cross the Colorado River into the United States.
The Yuma Morelos Dam Project will close four gaps located within an “incomplete border barrier project” near the dam, the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release. In addition to posing “safety and life hazard risks for migrants,” the department said the gaps in the wall presented “life and safety” risks to first responders in the area.

— "The World Health Organization on Wednesday recommended that gay and bisexual men limit their number of sexual partners to protect themselves from monkeypox and help slow transmission of the rapidly spreading virus.
The WHO’s monkeypox expert, Rosamund Lewis, said men who have sex with men are the group at the highest risk of infection right now. About 99% of cases are among men, and at least 95% of those patients are men who have sex with men, Lewis said.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it is crucial for public health authorities to engage communities of men who have sex with men to reduce transmission of the virus and take care of those infected, while protecting human rights by fighting stigma and discrimination."

LOS ANGELES, July 27 (Reuters) - Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials will announce on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's dysfunctional two-party system.
The new party, called Forward, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. They hope the party will become a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties that dominate U.S. politics, founding members told Reuters.

China's Final Warning (Russian: Последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb meaning a warning that carries no real consequences.
>Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America during the 1950s and 1960s were strained due to the Taiwan Strait issues. American military fighter jets regularly patrolled the straits, which led to regular formal protests being lodged by the Chinese Communist Party. In China, they issued over 900 "final warnings" to the United States for their fighter manoeuvres in the Taiwan Strait, albeit with no real consequences. Thus, it is a common sentiment in Russia that Chinese warnings are merely warnings without consequences. Eventually, "China's Final Warning" became a catchphrase and proverb in Russia as a result.

🇺🇸 🚀 The DC-X or Delta Clipper Experimental was a 1/3rd scale prototype of a single stage to orbit reusable vertical landing rocket developed by McDonnell Douglas. It was comprised of purely commercially available parts and only cost $60 million (1991 value) to develop. This was incredibly forward thinking for the time. The program was transferred to NASA who immediately sidelined it and wrapped its staff in bureaucracy. One of its fuel tanks would rupture on landing in 1996. Instead of spending the the few tens of millions to rebuild it and continue testing NASA opted to abandon it. Then proceeded to dump $922 Million into the Venture Star spaceplane concept that went absolutely nowhere.

🇺🇸 🌹 There's Gonna be a War in Montana
An analysis of visible propaganda in Bozeman, Big Sky, and Three Forks
The media doesn’t warn us about a civil war in San Francisco or Seattle, even though downtown Seattle was occupied for two months by insurrectionists not two years ago. That’s because the bourgeoisie/private equity tag team is secure in its ownership of the cities—the new underclass isn’t a threat. No, they warn of civil war in places where there’s still land to win. And there’s no better land than Montana’s.
Montana has always been the site of land battles—but these warring factions are brand new. The Washington Post presents the risk as one-sided—that angry Trumpists are going to soon resort to violence because, well, that’s what they do when the modern world comes knocking. The media doesn’t notice that Trump flags are being raised in reaction to the rainbow ones, not in spite of them. The anger bubbling up from Three Forks isn’t happening because Montanans, left alone for decades, somehow developed into anachronistic bigots unready for the modern world. It’s happening because Montanans got their sh*t taken. They were intentionally shoved out, left behind. Their music, their signs, their cars, their language—they’re all born from a fresh wound.

🏳 🇵🇰 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan welcomes the agreement and unity of leaders of religious parties and religious schools of Bajaur tribal region.
Scholars are the most blessed and God-fearing class of society (Anmayakhshi Allah min obada al-ul-Ulama) and they are the inheritors of the Prophets.
Only the scholars can properly understand the temptations in the society and only the scholars can provide the best strategy to prevent them. The suspension of the Islamic system is the root of all temptations and it is the greatest misfortune of the Pakistani society. The coming into existence of Pakistan and along with this, the annexation of the tribes living in Pakistan, especially the Pashtuns and tribes, were here for the purpose and goal that there will be an Islamic system, but from the beginning, the army, the establishment, which is hostile to Sharia in the country. And slave political families are the main obstacles in the way of achieving this auspicious goal. Of course, Alhamdulillah about Pakistan, it is a place of great joy and satisfaction that there is a large stock of Ahl al-Haq scholars and religious and religious people, and In the preparation of this stock, the religious schools in general and especially the religious schools associated with Al-Wafaq al-Madaris al-Arabiya have a very important role. Do not cause disagreements on subordinate and jihadist issues and protect Islamic values and the Islamic system in a united manner. To make efforts based on Sharia method, then this action can certainly change the destiny of Pakistan and the purpose for which Pakistan came into existence can be achieved.
The concept of Pakistan (implementation of the Islamic system) is a national agreement and contract between the people of Pakistan. It is the Islamic and national duty of the people of Pakistan to implement it. He is, and he is leading his country towards division and analysis.
The unity and consensus of the leaders of religious schools and religious parties in the tribal area of Bajaur Agency is a praiseworthy act. Especially in Pashtun areas, it is hoped and requested from the leaders of the religious seminaries and religious parties, that they should also show this kind of unity and agreement under the leadership of the scholars in their respective areas. Alhamdulillah for Pakistan and especially Therefore, there is a great influence and a large stock of scholars in the Pashtun regions, if they unite and start fighting according to the Sharia system, then no force will be able to stop the arrival of the Islamic system in Pakistan.

🇷🇺 🚀 Russia will withdraw from the International Space Station project after 2024 and focus on building its own station. | Tribute
MOSCOW — Russia will pull out of the International Space Station after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s new space chief said Tuesday amid high tensions between Moscow and the West over the fighting in Ukraine.
Moscow and Washington cooperated in space even at the height of the Cold War, when Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft docked in orbit in 1975 in the first crewed international space mission, helping improve U.S.-Soviet relations.
With Elon Musk’s SpaceX company now flying NASA astronauts to and from the space station, the Russian Space Agency lost a major source of income. For years, NASA had been paying tens of millions of dollars per seat for rides to and from the station aboard Russian rockets.
NASA has been working with U.S. companies on establishing their own private space stations to eventually replace the International Space Station.

🇺🇸🐒🦠 — 🇺🇸🗞 NBC News: Monkeypox is being driven overwhelmingly by sex between men, major study finds
— "The global monkeypox outbreak is primarily being driven by sex between men, according to the first major peer-reviewed paper to analyze a large set of cases of the virus.
The outbreak, which epidemiologists believe initially began in mid-spring gatherings of gay and bisexual men in Europe, has since alarmed such experts by ballooning to nearly 16,000 cases worldwide.
Now infectious disease specialists are developing an increasingly refined understanding of the predominant conduits of monkeypox transmission, as well as the typical disease course patterns.
The study authors reported that 95% of the cases were likely transmitted through sexual close contact. What’s more, their paper offers strong new evidence that anal sex itself, although not necessarily ejaculation, is a major source of transmission.
“The finding that 95% of cases may have been transmitted during sex provides reassurance that this outbreak is primarily caused by very close contact and may explain why it’s been largely limited, so far, to dense social networks of men who have sex with men,” said Dr. Jay K. Varma, an infectious disease expert at Weill Cornell Medicine."

— "Tunisians were on Monday expected to approve giving the president unfettered powers, ending the country’s stumbles towards democratic rule and capping the turbulent decade across the region known as the Arab spring.
As voters trickled to the polls for the referendum, the country that birthed the revolts that rocked the Middle East seemed resigned to a return to pre-revolution autocracy, with a declining economy and political sclerosis sounding the death knell for hopes of widespread reform and free elections that would empower citizens.
President Kais Saied is now likely to cement a new constitution that gives him more control over a country he has ruled by decree since suspending parliament and installing emergency rule a year ago."

Besides its economic feasibility, the proximity of the project could lead to Saudi Arabia’s recognition of Israel. Suffice to say, a project of this magnitude is not without its geo-economic challenges."

— "Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic mega-city 33 times the size of New York City from scratch.
Saudi officials describe it as "the world's most ambitious project."
It's called Neom, a planned 16-borough city on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi province of Tabuk.
Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman told Bloomberg in October 2018 that Neom will be completed in 2025, and phase one is nearing completion."

tl;dr
NEOM, basically, is the final goal for two certain agendas:
— Smart cities and Internet of things
NEOM will be a Semi-Autonomous City-State of 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. however, instead the Religious Arab kingdom, this city will be a Cosmopolitan artificial place in the centre of Tabuk Desert (Northern Arabian Peninsula, on the Sinai side of Saudi Arabia)
As much as such a place is not in a sacred place for the Islamic World as a whole, this certainly, even if vague, makes one ponder the following idea:
— What if, in the near future, an Islamist rebellion (Like the Ikhwani revolt of the late 1920s), whether due to NEOM's Cosmopolitanism or not (Since even without NEOM, a growing discontent, especially from the most conservative / traditionalist sectors of Saudi society, can be seen between the lines) occur in the Saudi Kingdom (again, a near future)?

🇸🇦 75-mile-long mirror skyscrapers will be reportedly built in Neom city of Saudi Arabia - The Line is designed to be taller than the Empire State Building.
⚪ Last year, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced his grand vision to build The Line, a linear city with skyscrapers that run for miles and house millions of people. The Wall Street Journal has now viewed plans and documents to make this happen and published details of what the project might actually look like.
⚪ The largest exporter of crude oil, Saudi Arabia, is looking to diversify its source of income, given that the world is moving away from fossil fuels. Among its plans to do so, is building an economic hub at the "crossroads of the world" where more than 40 percent of the world's population can reach by a flight that's just a few hours.
⚪ The ambitious plan to build a new city in the middle of nowhere to attract people and investors from around the world is expected to cost the Kingdom's treasury a trillion dollars. However, the finances may not be the biggest hurdles facing the project.
⚪ Employees at Neom are concerned that after the coronavirus pandemic, people are not very keen on staying in high-rises, while the sheer scale of the project will alter the groundwater flow in the area.
⚪ The high-rise buildings also pose a hurdle in the path of millions of migratory birds that use the corridors every year, while the project will also displace tribal people living in the area, which are being forcibly removed to make way for the project, WSJ reported previously.
⚪ Last year, an impact assessment report stated that the project could be completed in five decades. However, the visionary of the plan, the Crown Prince, wants it to be completed by 2030.

🇺🇸 Nearly one in three Americans say it may soon be necessary to take up arms against the government
🔵 A majority of Americans say the U.S. government is corrupt and almost a third say it may soon be necessary to take up arms against it, according to a new poll from the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.
Two-thirds of Republicans and independents say the government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me,” according to the poll, compared to 51 percent of liberal voters.
🔵 Twenty-eight percent of all voters, including 37 percent of gun owners, agreed “it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government,” a view held by around 35 percent of Republicans and around 35 percent of Independents. One in five Democrats concurred.
🔵 The findings come after a House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol wrapped up its final hearing for the summer, seeking to place former President Trump at the heart of efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
🔵 The panel also said Trump readily accepted and even encouraged the attack from his supporters, watching violence play out on television for nearly three hours before finally making a statement telling them to go home.
🔵 The division between conservatives and liberals across the country is only growing, the poll shows, and a quarter of Americans say they have lost friends over politics.

🌍 Fertilizer crisis delivers profits and pain as Ukraine fallout broadens | https://archive.ph/RUzd3
⚪ “There is a lot of tension in the market. … It has really wreaked havoc in the fertilizer market,” said P.J. Juvekar, a Citigroup stock analyst. “The fertilizer business has fundamentally changed.”
⚪ It’s also become vital for the global economy, as the world copes with a worsening shortage of food. Developing nations this year confront a “real risk” of multiple famines and 2023 could be even worse if fertilizer proves unaffordable, according to U.N. Secretary General António Guterres.
⚪ Russia and neighboring Belarus are major sources of nitrogen fertilizers, like those produced by CF Industries, as well as phosphate and potassium products that use minerals from surface and underground mines. Ukraine is a relatively minor fertilizer producer. But it relied on Russia and Belarus for much of its needs and future deliveries are now in jeopardy, casting a cloud over next year’s harvest.
⚪ Numerous countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, meanwhile, rely on Russia for more than 30 percent of their imported fertilizer, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
⚪ Future harvests are at risk in sub-Saharan Africa, where before the war farmers applied much less fertilizer than the global average. Now, short supplies and near-record high prices mean they use even less, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
⚪ “The global outlook for 2023 may be even more dire. As the Russia-Ukraine war continues and the supply of fertilizer remains limited, high prices are likely to have a more profound impact on 2023 planting decisions,” the department’s Foreign Agricultural Service concluded in a report last month.
⚪ In the West African nation of Ghana, which buys half of its fertilizer from Russia, retail prices are more than five times higher than they were last year, prompting some corn and yam farmers to abandon chemicals in favor of cow dung and chicken droppings, even though that means lower crop yields and the risk of hunger.
⚪ The smaller harvests of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans that are likely to result from reduced fertilizer use would represent enough food to feed 92 million people for one year, according to Gro Intelligence, which this month introduced an online tool for modeling the impact of fertilizer shortages on individual nations.
⚪ “The fertilizer crisis is just beginning,” said Sara Menker, Gro’s CEO. “This is going to be a multiyear crisis. It’s not one-and-done.”

🏳 Use Of Solar Power Wells For Agriculture Sparks Concerns
(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News)
MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Farmers in northern Balkh province say it is easy drawing water from wells for agricultural purposes using solar energy. Experts, however, warn the practice lowers the groundwater level and poses a serious threat to human life.
In several parts of the country, especially in Balkh province, water shortages have forced growers to dig up deep wells and draw water from them through solar power.
Mohammad Nazim Samoon, a water expert, noted a spike in demand for groundwater across the globe due to population growth.
He said many countries used groundwater only for drinking.“But contrarily, groundwater in Afghanistan is used for industry, agriculture and other sectors. This could lead to a major humanitarian catastrophe in the future, he cautioned.”
According to the expert, the water level in Afghanistan has been going down by two metres annually. The government must impose restrictions to ensure better water management, he stressed.

🇺🇸 Rescue Great Salt Lake with seawater from the Pacific? Utah lawmakers consider it
Utah lawmakers are giving serious thought to building a pipeline to the Pacific to move seawater to the shrinking Great Salt Lake
As drought reduces surface water reserves, people and farms are forced to shift over to groundwater to meet their needs. And as more water is pumped out of the ground, the land itself starts to sink, in a process known as land subsidence. More than 80% of land subsidence in the U.S. is the result of water over-pumping, according to the USGS.
In California, satellite data revealed that some towns in the Central Valley sunk almost a foot in just a single year (2020-2021), according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle. The USGS tracks land subsidence, and wide swathes of the state are experiencing it. It’s also happening in other states, like Texas and across the Southwest.
As the ground beneath our feet gets lower, human infrastructure is often damaged. Buildings can weaken and even collapse. Sewage, power, and rail lines are busted. And if land sinks enough, future flood risk is amplified.

🇺🇸 One of the more regionally specific illnesses, is Valley fever, or coccidiodomycosis (Cocci for short)
Valley fever is a potentially deadly fungal infection contracted by inhaling spores from soil and dirt. Currently in the U.S., the disease is found in parts of California and the Southwest. The fungus thrives in warm, wet conditions. But the spores are believed to be most easily spread around via dust, when the ground is dry. The most dangerous combination for Cocci are wet conditions followed by drought.
The present drought has put some experts on alert. Valley fever cases have risen in recent years. The number of diagnoses climbed about 800%, according to one study, between 2000 and 2018—one of California’s driest periods on record. The exact cause of the rise isn’t known, but there are lots of overlapping hypotheses. For instance, increasing development and construction put people in direct contact with soil, and there’s more diagnostic awareness of the illness.

🇺🇸 Utah's Great Salt Lake Dwindles to New Record Low
As that lake bed dries up, the possibility of toxic dust storms intensifies. Decades of mining surrounding Great Salt Lake means heavy metals, arsenic, and other bad-to-breathe compounds have been piling up below the surface. Even when the water recedes, most of that harmful dust is held back by a hardened crust, but wind wares down that crust over time, and it’s already cracking.
Thousands of miles away, there’s a vision of what Utah’s future could look like. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan was diverted down to near-nothing for agricultural irrigation starting in the 1940s. What remains is a toxic desert with dust that poisons nearby inhabitants. The communities that remain surrounding the lake suffer from unusually high rates of cancer, kidney diseases, and infant mortality.

🌏 Global Food Insecurity – Animal Feed and Meat: Asia’s Looming Food Crisis
As major grain exporters, Russia and Ukraine account for around 25-30% of the world’s wheat exports, 15% of the world’s corn exports and 2.1% of the world’s soybean exports. While these may seem small relative to the global figures, they are nevertheless important as many Asian countries import from this European region.
The reduction of these three major agricultural products in global supply chains has already caused skyrocketing food prices, food export bans and shortages. For many Asian countries, wheat, corn, and soybeans are used in animal feed to produce beef, pork, poultry and fish for their domestic markets.
The Russia-Ukraine war has effectively reduced the global supply of corn, soybean and wheat respectively by 15%, 2% and 25-30%.
Any reduction in feed availability will affect Asia’s meat production. Supply chain delays arising from the Russia-Ukraine area have caused temporary shortages which drive up commodity prices. In such situations, livestock prices, especially the more feed-intensive poultry and pork sectors, will feel the most impact.
The number of countries concerned about their own domestic food security may lead to more countries anticipating shortages of key food items and therefore reducing exports or banning them altogether.

🇨🇳 🐖 China’s Main Food Security Challenge: Feeding Its Pigs
Questions over how to feed China’s hog herd remain a growing challenge for Beijing and a threat to global food security.
At present, China holds significant quantities of the world’s grain reserves. According to a report in the Nikkei Asia, by mid-2022, China is expected to hold 69 percent of the world’s maize (corn) reserves, 60 percent of its rice, 51 percent of the world’s wheat, and 37 percent of its soybeans. However, this was denied by the country’s foreign ministry.
China’s Growing Feed Corn Problem
Over the past decades, as China moves to modernize its pig sector, replacing backyard pig farming with modern and commercial large-scale pig production, there has been a rapid surge in the domestic demand for feed corn. Compared to wheat, soy, and rice, the domestic corn shortage is of even greater concern to Chinese policymakers, at least in the near future. Over the past few years, China’s corn imports have increased by several fold due to deficits in production. In 2021, China had to import 28.35 million metric tons of corn, up 152 percent from the previous record of 11.3 million tons in 2020. Most corn imports came from the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and Ukraine.
To reduce dependence on foreign feed grains, China, in recent years, has also sought to directly import more pork and other meat products. For instance, the country’s overall meat and fishery imports almost doubled in value between 2017 and 2019, though this was also largely driven by a shortage in domestic pork. In 2020, China imported a record 4.4 million tons of pork, which accounted for more than 40 percent of global trade. China is now also the largest beef importer in the world. In 2020, the country imported 2.1 million tons of beef, 23 percent of its beef requirement and 30 percent of global trade. Even for fisheries, China, a country which has long been the largest exporter of fish, has been importing more and more. In 2016, China imported 4 mmt of fishery products, and in 2019, it jumped to 6.3 mmt.
Additionally, China is undertaking efforts to reduce domestic pork consumption. With much concerning regarding the negative health impacts of the population’s high consumption of pork, the Chinese government has been advising the population to eat more poultry and fish, and less pork, which would also reduce the country’s dependence on imports. In 2018, with the outbreak of African swine fever, pork prices increased significantly. To ensure the country’s meat supply, the Chinese government introduced policies to increase domestic poultry production, leading to a shift in the country’s feed structure: a steep decline in pig feed and an increase in poultry feed. For instance, in Shandong province, China’s biggest feed producer, pig feed declined by 28 percent, and poultry feed grew by 8.6 percent, between January and April 2019. As the feed conversion ratio is 2.7 to 5.0 for pigs but only 1.7 to 2.0 for chickens, this lowered China’s total feed demand without reducing meat output.
Conclusion
As China’s grain imports, particularly corn and soybeans, have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, the country’s vulnerability to trade tensions and supply shocks has increased. Even though China has relatively less exposure to global food trade in terms of staple supplies, there remains substantial risks in feed grains. To overcome these challenges, China has sought to boost its domestic production of feed grains through five-year plans, technological developments, reducing the country’s overall pork consumption, and further diversifying countries China imports from, which is also shaping global food supply chains. However, if factors such as the Russia-Ukraine war continue at their current pace, China, along with the rest of the world may soon face a looming animal feed and meat crisis.

🇷🇺 In January, 2022 it was reported that Droughts, death of winter crops and a shortage of migrant workers for seasonal field work hit Russia’s 2021 harvests, which was down to a three-year low, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture reports. By contrast, Ukraine had one of its best harvests ever.
“The decrease in the volume of cereals was due to the death of winter crops due to drought in many regions of the country,” analysts told the finanz.ru website.
Falling crop harvests were experienced in 2021 by most of the largest exporting countries, including Canada, Brazil and the United States, where, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, wheat harvest were at their lowest levels in the past 19 years.
"Not a very good harvest," warned Kirill Tremasov, director of the monetary policy department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which will feed high inflation in 2022, he added. At the end of last year, according to RosStat, food inflation hit a six-year high of 10.6%.
By contrast, Ukraine had its biggest harvest ever, bringing in 106mn tonnes of cereals, legumes and oilseeds in 2021 thanks to favourable weather conditions in 2021, according to Roman Leshchenko, the Minister of Agriculture.
China was the largest importer of Ukrainian agricultural goods this year, accounting for roughly $3bn of exports, a 36% increase compared to 2020. India imported $1.35bn worth of agricultural goods, followed by the Netherlands with $1.2bn.

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 U.S. State Dept calls out China for grain hoarding
🔵 The United States also wants to see China help combat the global food crisis, James O'Brien, head of the U.S. State Department's Office of Sanctions Coordination, told reporters.
🔵 "We would like to see it act like the great power that it is and provide more grain to the poor people around the world," he said. "China has been a very active buyer of grain and it is stockpiling grain... at a time when hundreds of millions of people are entering the catastrophic phase of food insecurity."
🔵 China's grain stocks at the end of the 2021/22 season were estimated by the International Grains Council to be 323.4 million tonnes, more than half the global total of 607.4 million. They dwarf those of the United States, the world's top grain exporter, which were estimated at 57.8 million tonnes.
🔵 He said some 40% of the first grain shipments out of Ukraine in April went to China "which was awkward," adding: "It would have been much better to see that grain going to Egypt, in the Horn of Africa and other places."
🔴 The Chinese Embassy in Washington said that China needs to maintain a certain amount of grain reserves because it has less than 9% of the world's farmland, but it accounts for one fifth of the world's population.

🇩🇪💧Germany fears water shortage due to drought | @rybar with @pl_syrenka
Nearly 50% of the EU territory is threatened with drought this summer, which is likely to lead to a decrease in crops, the European Commission pointed out. The "temperature apocalypse" in many European countries led to the fact that rivers were badly damaged and water supplies were depleted. In Germany, abnormally high temperatures have led to increasingly loud discussions about a possible shortage of clean water.
🔺A few days ago, the German Union of Cities and Municipalities warned of water shortages in some regions of Germany. Due to abnormally high temperatures, demand has increased in industry, agriculture, as well as in private households. Watering gardens, filling swimming pools and watering lawns in the current situation could push supply infrastructure to breaking point, the union said.
🔺At the same time, residents are having a hard time with the “temperature apocalypse”: the country still has a mask regime that complicates movement around the city, and people consume more water than usual due to stuffiness in public transport.
But ordinary Germans will have to shrink and endure, the government is not yet sure how to fix the situation. So far, the authorities are calling on citizens to "fundamentally rethink how the precious water resource should be handled" and reflect on the "better distribution of water." In addition, they are thinking about keeping the masses of treated wastewater that they dump into rivers that go to the North and Baltic Seas.
🔺Other solutions, such as creating some “green climatic oases in cities” or replacing black asphalt with lighter ones, will not save the situation here and now - this is a long game.
In the meantime, the citizens of Germany, who have already been advised to give up meat, wash less often, ride a bicycle and generally forget about the benefits of civilization, must patiently wait for the government to draw up at least some kind of sensible plan.

What are the Zonas Económicas Especiales (ZEE)?
They are spaces aimed at economic development, using the productive capacities of the region and foreign trade. In this way, have tourist and tax incentives for the export of goods and services, which will provide economic improvements in national and foreign investment that generate benefits for the nation.
To complement, Maduro commented that "Venezuela takes and resumes (...) the construction of special economic zones, as a way to promote and develop the productive forces of our country, as a way to attract productive investments."
👩🏼⚖️ Legal framework of special economic zones
The law has 36 articles, sanctioned by the Legislative Power and that received from the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) the constitutional character of Organic Law.
Likewise, parliamentarian Óscar Rondero pointed out that the law does not establish any special or different labor regime. The rules by which the ZEE are governed are the same as the Organic Law of Labor, Workers and Workers (LOTTT), he clarified.
In turn, the deputy Nicolás Maduro Guerra, pointed out that "this Law aims to promote the new economic model, not dependent on the traditional economic activity of exporting oil products."
On the other hand, the national president also announced the creation of the Superintendence of Special Economic Zones.
📍 What are the selected areas?
Maduro announced that the first five special economic zones, created within the framework of the new law, are:
📌 Paraguaná, in Falcon state.
📌 Puerto Cabello-Moron, in Carabobo.
📌 La Guaira.
📌 Margarita, in New Sparta.
📌 La Tortuga Island, located in the Caribbean.
🧏🏼♂️ Why were these areas selected?
Regarding the selection of special zones, the president stated that they were named because these regions will represent "new engines" that will provide "special economic conditions" for investors.
"The special economic zones are not for importation, they are for production (...) the central objective is the productive development of a model that definitively breaks the oil-dependent rentier model," President Maduro specified.
On the other hand, he stressed that these are spaces that will be monitored and for which "productive investments that lead to scientific, technological, and industrial development" will be attracted.
🗣️ For and against
📌 Gabriel Briceño, first vice president of Fedecamaras in Nueva Esparta, commented that "the designation of Nueva Esparta as a special economic zone requires optimal services, in order to attract both national and foreign private investments".
📌 For his part, the deputy of the National Constituent Assembly, Luis Eduardo Martínez ratified that the ZEE Law will promote new and important investments, in the areas that are delimited, boosting economic growth.
📌 However, the vice president of the Encuentro Ciudadano party, Héctor Cordero, denounced that the ZEE are areas of "shady business", where only a few will be able to benefit from this designation. "Meanwhile, some spoiled people continue to get rich in those ZEE's, ordinary Venezuelans will continue to suffer," he added.

🔴 With fiery roadblocks disrupting commerce and causing shortages of food, fuel and other supplies, the Panamanian government has entered a new round of talks meant to placate the masses and avoid further economic damage, which some assess at $500 million and counting.
🔴 With a currency pegged to the U.S. dollar and steady revenue from its vital canal, Panama has been a stable country for decades. Now, however, Panama is a canary in a coal mine, showing that much broader global unrest may soon be upon us.

🇺🇸 U.S. Supreme Court hands Texas another legal victory on Biden's immigration policies | The Center Square - Archive
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday handed Texas another legal win in an ongoing lawsuit over the Department of Homeland Security’s deportation policy.
After the decision, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said, “Texas is handing [President Joe] Biden so many huge loses. First Biden tells DHS they don’t have to detain criminal illegals. Court strikes down. Biden appeals. Loses. Biden goes to SCOTUS. Just now, loses again! Feds MUST detain illegals. I’ll keep fighting in court until they do their job!”
At issue is DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas altering the enforcement of federal immigration law regading deportation through the issuance of memorandums and directives. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry sued, arguing they violate federal law established by Congress, including the Administrative Procedures Act
Gaeitz has asked Mayorkas to explain his plan to comply with federal law to deport those with removal orders.
Mayorkas replied, “Congressman I think what we need is legislation to fix the broken immigration system.”
According to an investigation by the Washington Examiner, federal prosecutors working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been actively dropping deportation cases that don’t comply with Mayorkas’ directive. So far, they’re on track to “effectively pardon 1 million people by 2024,” its investigation found.

🇨🇳 🇬🇧 HSBC, one of the world’s biggest banks, became the first in China to establish an internal Communist Party committee, paving the path for global lenders to follow suit.
London-headquartered HSBC has become the first international bank to establish a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee, according to a new Financial Times report. China’s companies law requires firms to set up CCP committees, but this rule has been loosely enforced among global financial institutions—until now.
Following the report, HSBC released a statement noting that CCP committees are “common” in mainland China-based companies. “Management has no role in establishing such groups” and these committees exert zero influence on the direction of the business, nor hold any formal role in the business’s day-to-day operations, it added. The bank did not confirm whether its China investment bank had set up the committee. HSBC did not respond to a Fortune request for comment.
HSBC’s actions could pave the way for other foreign lenders in China to do the same. In the last two years, global lenders have begun taking full ownership of their mainland operations, leading them to explore whether they must abide by the law to initiate a CCP committee, according to the FT. “There was an internal email that said we might need to do something, but for the time being…it’s not yet compulsory,” the Asia head of one global bank told the publication.
Asia-Pacific is “central to [our] future growth, investment, and innovation. I want more of our global executive team to be located in key growth regions,” including China, Southeast Asia, and India, HSBC CEO Noel Quinn said at the time.

🇺🇸🇺🇳🗺 — The entire cry over "Climate Change" and "Climate Emergency" will eventually turn, yes, as much discussed here in the past, into a justification for military adventures, this time, rather than the MENA or Eastern Europe, South America
The Triple A Corridor (Andes-Amazon-Atlantic Corridor) is a long-standing dream of UN sectors and some NGOs in Washington and Brussels to create an international Zone (read "Limited Sovereignty", as they love to call it) around the Guyana Basin Shield & the Amazon River , to "safeguard native Biomes and local peoples" from the local governments
Once the US finds itself isolated on the American continent again, it is expected that such a dream, in one way or another, will make use of current Environmentalism and scientifically/factually wrong fallacies (i.e. Amazon being the "lungs" of the world and similars) to promote a new wave of interventions in the region once colonized by the Iberian Empires.

🇨🇳 🚀 China could shift to fully reusable super heavy-launcher in wake of Starship
HELSINKI — China’s launch vehicle makers appear to be designing a fully reusable version of the Long March 9 super heavy-lift rocket needed for future megaprojects.
The emergence of plans for new reusable methane-liquid oxygen launch vehicles to be ready for 2035 suggests that China is looking to make significant changes to its space transportation plans.
China’s government last year signaled approval for the continued development of a super heavy-lift launcher, known as the Long March 9. The long-planned, expendable launcher is planned to be operational by 2030, in time to facilitate Chinese megaprojects including the International Lunar Research Station.

Continued: On July 21st, another Russian MP, Vladimir Djabarov, the prime-vice-president of the Committee for International Relations for the Federation Council (Russian Senate/Upper House of the Duma) threatened the Moldovan authorities in an interview with TASS saying: " The opening of a second front in Transnistria will bring a catastrophe for the entire Moldovan state. Russia has always wanted a peaceful solution in Transnistria and the Russian peacekeeping forces have always been a bastion of stability and it guaranteed the security on the left-bank of the Dniester. Any attempt of the irresponsible leaders in Chișinău to question this fact, to change the format of the peacekeeping operations by withdrawing the Russian troops will only bring chaos." said Vladimir Djabarov. He also pointed out the prolonged pause in the 5plus2 negotiations ( Russia, Transnistria, Ukraine, Moldova, OSCE and The US and EU as observer members) adding " The continued ignoration of the initiatives to restart the talks proposed by the Transnistrian delegation by the Moldovan delegation which follows instructions coming from the West has put Moldova on the way to break off all negotiations and the possibility of achieving any solution to the conflict" added Vladimir Djabarov.
Despite these statements, Russia still has not recognised the break-away republic and it is unclear how long will take until they finally do.

🟥 🟩 🇲🇩 🇷🇺 "Transnistria wants to unify with Russia" | DIGI 24
Dmytri Belik, a Russian MP and member of the State Committee of the Russian Duma for International Business, gave a statement to the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti, in which he affirmed that Transnistria's wish to join Russia should be taken "very seriously".
"Today Transnistria is that enclave inside Moldova which does not want to be a part of Romania and has accepted with a great deal of happiness the Russian contingent intended for peacekeeping operations. So, Transnistria's proposal to unify with Russia is not something far in the future, instead it is very likely to happen in the near future and, because there is a great number of Russian speaking people there, their proposal should be taken very seriously" affirmed Dmytri Belik.
His statement comes after the so-called, "Foreign Minister of the Transnistrian Republic", Vitaly Ignatiev, which stated in an interview that the Transnistrian Republic is prepared to unify with Russia.
"The wish to join Russia has not changed after all these years, a fact which was proven to be as shown in the 2006 referendum ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Transnistrian_independence_referendum ) which clearly showed that the people want first and foremost independence and later the unification with Russia. Transnistria's independence is an utmost priority. The Transnistrian government will never act against it's own people, we will always be honest" said Vitaly Ignatiev.
The Moldovan Bureau for the Reintegration commented over Vitaly Ignatiev's statements saying that "all international partners and authorities support a peaceful solution to the Transnistrian conflict respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova of her internationally recognised borders. "
In the last few days tensions have been growing inside the separatist enclave. Thursday the separatist government celebrated 30 years since the signing of the treaty which established the current status-quo which allowed the Transnistrian Republic to take form and gain de-facto independence with a permanent Russian garrison.
On the same day, the Moldovan MFA denied the entry of Russian military personnel from the Russian garrison into Moldova because Moldova considers their presence to be illegal and has repeatedly asked the Russian government to withdraw these forces. Up until 2014 the Russians were able to rotate the troops stationed in Transnistria but the Annexation of Crimea eliminated the air and terrestrial accessways through Ukrainian airspace and territory. The Russian contingent is between 1500-1700 man strong and is composed of 2 battalions and a command unit. The personnel which make up the unit are mainly Transnistrian born but also have Russian citizenship.

Under the agency's current plans, the stacked SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft will roll out to its launch site at Kennedy Space Center on August 18. Then, there would be three opportunities—August 29, September 2, and September 5—to launch the vehicle before the window closes.
"These are the dates we are working toward today," said Jim Free, the chief of NASA's human exploration systems development program.

Freshii has hired a new cashier named Percy, and after learning that these virtual employees only earn $3.75 per hour, people want them fired.
These employees from Nicaragua are making way less than Ontario’s $15 minimum wage (which is set to increase in October).
Percy has been on the receiving end of harsh criticism from the public after a recent investigation by the Toronto Star revealed that the virtual cashier system has been operating since around last November at three locations in Ontario — two in Toronto and one in Waterloo.

The latest political crisis doesn’t just create uncertainty for Italy. It also ups the pressure on the European Central Bank, which is just hours away from announcing a new bond-purchase program intended to shield countries such as Italy from market speculation. It’s had to design such a tool as it prepares to increase interest rates for the first time in more than a decade.
Investor reaction to the news from Italy was clear, with the yield on the country’s 10-year note jumping as much as 21 basis points to 3.6%, its highest since June. The spread over equivalent German bonds, a common gauge of risk, rose to 233 basis points. Citi sees the gap reaching 250 to 275 basis points in the event of an election.

"The international context is favorable to al-Qaida, which intends to be recognized again as the leader of global jihad," according to the U.N. report.
At least one U.N. member state intelligence agency said al-Qaida now appears to favor its African affiliates over al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a potentially monumental shift given AQAP's history of plotting attacks against the West, like the December 2019 shooting at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
"Even after 20 years, some of al-Qaida's most senior operatives remain at large and are ready to carry on the mantle of jihad," Katherine Zimmerman, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told VOA.

The debate in the Chamber in the Chamber with Prime Minister Draghi on the communications made to the Senate and deposited in Montecitorio remains confirmed from 9 am tomorrow. A reply was scheduled around 11, from 13.45 he calls it for the vote of confidence with a result of around 15. It is very likely, however, that Draghi's presence in the Chamber at 9 will only be formal: the time needed to announce the decision to go and resign, from President Mattarella at the Quirinale. All parliamentary groups are pre-alerted for meetings around 9 in Montecitorio.

🇬🇧Africans Decry Europe’s Energy Hypocrisy. Europe, one of the largest consumers of Russian gas, is scrambling to find African alternatives as Russia threatens to permanently turn off the taps.
As Europe scrambles for energy supplies, observers and Africans themselves are denouncing what they see as energy hypocrisy, considering that most African countries live under regular power shortages and are severely impacted by climate change. African governments have sought to develop new fossil fuel projects to meet local needs, but Western governments have demanded that multilateral lenders such as the World Bank stop funding those projects to reduce global carbon emissions.
“Our countries cannot achieve an energy transition and abandon the polluting patterns of the industrialized countries without a viable, fair, and equitable alternative,” Senegalese President Macky Sall said in a defiant speech at last year’s meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. “Stopping funding for the gas sector … would be a major obstacle.”
A report released last week suggests some African countries will have to cut public spending elsewhere to meet the cost of adapting to a warming planet, which will eclipse their spending on health care. The entire continent is responsible for just 3 percent of global carbon emissions.
Verner Ayukegba, a senior vice president at the Johannesburg-based African Energy Chamber, points out that South Africa should be exploring a whole mix of energy sources, including gas, because while greener sources are important, it is those living with lights on in New York or London who have the luxury of thinking about renewable energy. “If you are in a maternity ward in a hospital in the outskirts of Maiduguri [in northern Nigeria], it really doesn’t matter if your hospital is powered using coal. … What you need is power,” he said.

🇵🇦 President Laurentino "Nito" Cortiço has not made a public appearance for several days now. Yesterday, CNN in Spanish tried to call Nito to interview him about the situation, but never answered and instead sent a vice minister (who skirted around the questions).
🔴 There are several demands from the population: Which call for curtailing high costs of food, gas, and medicine, as well as reducing the high level of corruption.
🔴 Current protests have integrated several civilian groups, starting with teachers (some haven't been paid in months by the state), construction worker unions, indigenous groups, health system workers, Panama canal workers, students (high school and university) and the general population.
🔴 The government is trying to negotiate but it has lost all credibility, so they asked the Church to be an intermediary.
🔴 Gas prices have been in discussion for several days. They agreed upon a price of $3.25 USD per gallon but protesters have made additional demands. Prior to this, gas prices were more than $5 USD per gallon.
🔴 There is a medicine shortage, an inadequate state health system, the minimum wage only covers basic necessities (food, cleaning and hygiene products), as a result, rent is out of range for most. Government deputies listed nonexistent citizens on their payrolls, even with entire fictitious families in order to launder funds. There is a corrupt electoral system, an outdated constitution, and much more.
🔴 The original spark for the protests was on July 1st, during a banquet feast for the national assembly deputies. In this case a video was leaked, upon discovery viewers noticed that the amount of whisky bottles at this banquet were worth more than the lowest wage in the country (the lowest range of minimum wage is ~$300 USD per month up to the highest range of ~$600 USD per month).

Negotiations between the government and the protesters are conducted by separate commissions, which do not interact with each other in any way. It is quite predictable that in such conditions the negotiations fail.
Despite the fact that it was possible to agree to reduce the price of gasoline to $ 3.25 per gallon, the demonstrators continue to protest and blockade the Inter-American Highway. They argue that the reduction in gasoline prices is a handout only for certain groups of protesters, while no one is going to fight systemic corruption in Panama.
And that night, the police used tear gas and rubber bullets against especially ardent disgruntled people.
In Santiago de Veraguas, skirmishes between law enforcement officers and protesters began at all - there were also reports of the first deaths, which have not yet been confirmed.

🇱🇾 - Marshall Khalifa Haftar’s failed Tripoli campaign could’ve meant the end of his political ambitions. An offensive towards Cyrenaica was nearly launched before Egypt threatened to step-in. He was discredited. Now, he will controls the country’s Western Defence ministry. This gives him real hopes of eventually outpowering the Tripoli government. He controls the country’s state oil compagny, which ensures money. But how did he do it?
Patience. He forced the country into not selling oil, waited for the oil supply situation in Europe to be in crisis, and managed to get out of trouble by negociating, with the support of Emirati President Muhammad Bin Zayed.
Patience is a virtue that autocrats of our time tends to possess when they are competent, while democracies, due to the inherent instability of its regime, tends to be erratic, especially on Foreign policy.
I do not endorse Marshall Haftar’s policies. I’m not here to condemn him either, even tho I disapprove for sure of his Human rights violations. But what I can say is that on this one, he managed to patiently and cleverly outmaneuver an opponent he couldn’t defeat by force. He waged an economic guerilla warfare, and won.

🇺🇸 House to vote on same-sex marriage in an effort to push back against court | NPR
WASHINGTON — The House is set to vote to protect same-sex and interracial marriages, a direct confrontation with the Supreme Court, whose conservative majority in overturning Roe v. Wade abortion access has sparked concerns that other rights enjoyed by countless Americans may be in jeopardy.
Tuesday's vote in the House is part political strategy setting up an election-year roll call that will force all lawmakers, Republicans and Democrats, to go on the record with their views on the high-profile social issue. It's also part of the legislative branch asserting its authority, pushing back against an aggressive court that appears intent on revisiting many settled U.S. laws.

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 Pelosi to visit Taiwan next month amid China tensions
Six people familiar with the situation said Pelosi would take a delegation to Taiwan in August. The 82-year-old California lawmaker cancelled a previous visit in April after she caught Covid-19.
Pelosi would be the most senior US lawmaker to visit the island since one of her predecessors as Speaker, Republican Newt Gingrich, travelled there in 1997.
Her visit will come as US-China relations remain mired in their worst state since the countries normalised diplomatic relations in 1979 and Washington switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing.
In April, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said a Pelosi visit would be a “malicious provocation”. News of the trip comes as US president Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping prepare to hold an online meeting in the coming weeks.
Three people familiar with the situation said the White House had expressed concern about the trip. The timing is sensitive for China because it will come in the same month as the August 1 anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army.

🇦🇫 🇹🇯 🏴 Taliban ambitions towards Tajik Badakhshan | Rybar
The other day we published a detailed post about the intention of the Afghan Taliban to expand the possessions of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan by seizing control over part of the territories of Pakistan.
However, this turned out to be only part of the overall picture. Another clear indication of the ambitions of the Taliban has emerged: recently there was news about the formation of the organization Tehrik-e Taliban Tajikistan (Taliban Movement of Tajikistan).
🔻 What is known about the grouping?
Tajik Mahdi Asralan became the leader of the faction controlled by the Taliban. His real name is Muhammad Sharipov, he is a native of the Rasht Valley of Tajikistan. Previously, the militant headed the Jammat Ansarullah group, which was recognized as a terrorist group in the Russian Federation and Tajikistan.
This organization was created over a decade ago to fight the government of Emomali Rahmon by field commanders of anti-government Islamist forces during the 1992-1997 civil war in Tajikistan.
Since the Taliban came to power in August last year, members of Jammaat Ansarullah have been entrusted with the administration of the Tajik-Afghan border in five districts: Kuf-Ab, Khwakhan, Maimai, Nusay and Shikai.
🔻 Why are pro-Taliban groups escalating the situation on the border?
Among the radical members of the movement, there is an idea of "unification" of the Tajik peoples of Badakhshan under the banner of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan." The reasons for this became more due to the unwillingness of the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, to improve relations with neighbors and to provide assistance to the leader of the resistance, Ahmad Massoud.
And with the start of a special military operation in Ukraine among the Taliban field commanders in the north-east of Afghanistan, the idea of invading Tajikistan was revived with renewed vigor. In their opinion, a protracted conflict will weaken Russia and will not allow it to get into another one on the southern borders of the CSTO.
🔻 Is the option of a Taliban invasion of Tajik Badakhshan realistic?
The leadership of the "Emirate" constantly states that "the Taliban will never go beyond the borders of Afghanistan, and will not allow other groups to use the country's territory as a springboard for external aggression." However, in the previous analysis, we clearly showed that the Taliban speak to the public only what is convenient for them. So don't take their word for it.
With such a dominance of various armed formations in Afghanistan, the Taliban does not even have to independently climb into a direct clash. The command of the group can use the hands of the radicals to escalate the situation in the border area. However, they will not interfere with their activities in any way.
🔻 What should we expect in the near future?
The conflict in Central Asia with Russia being drawn into it is what the collective West is striving for. This is evidenced by attempts to overthrow the government in Kazakhstan, conflicts in Badakhshan in Tajikistan and Karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan.
In recent months, there has been an active probing of the weakest points on the borders of the post-Soviet space, including by creating tension on the part of Afghanistan.
Forcing the situation along the borders of any of the countries - Tajikistan with the Badakhshan region or IS fighters shelling Uzbek territory - will mean the need to use additional resources near the borders with Afghanistan.
And the Taliban leadership is successfully coping with the role of a destabilizing factor in the Central Asian region. The internal policy of the organization has already led to a new stage of the civil war in Afghanistan in close proximity to the CIS countries.

🇺🇸 🇷🇺 🚀 NASA Makes Deal to Fly Russian Cosmonauts on Crew Dragon
Cosmonauts Anna Kikina and Andrei Fedyaev will fly on separate Crew Dragon flights to the International Space Station scheduled for September 2022 and the spring of 2023. NASA assigned astronauts Frank Rubio and Loral O’Hara to the Soyuz flights.
Rogozin has since been replaced as the head of Roscosmos. Russian deputy prime minister of space and defense Yury Borisov will take the reins as Roscosmos’ new chief.
Rogozin previously said that perhaps NASA’s astronauts could reach the International Space Station on “broomsticks” after an announcement that Russia will no longer sell rocket engines to the United States. Unlike some competitors, SpaceX makes its own rocket engines.
During the previous invasion of Crimea in 2014, Rogozin also said that NASA could use a trampoline to send astronauts to the International Space Station. After the launch of SpaceX’s successful Demo-2 mission in 2020, Elon Musk retorted, “The trampoline is working!”

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Interesting details of the arrest of drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero continue to emerge.
🔺Still, not only a bloodhound named Max, but also the American Drug Enforcement Administration helped the Mexican marines to help catch Quintero.
🔺The location of the drug lord in the mountains of Badiraguato was also calculated by the American intelligence services. They conscientiously handed over the coordinates to the Mexican law enforcement officers a few months ago. Quintero was arrested, however, only after 14 attempts.
🔺The DEA used its informants in the cartels operating in the states of Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango to obtain information about the whereabouts of the drug lord.
🔺In passing, we were hinted that the special operation to capture one of the founders of the Guadalajara cartel was coordinated with the Mexican Navy in secret from the government of Andres Manuel López Obrador, and also without contact with the Mexican army.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Border Patrol seizes nearly $690K of narcotics in Texas
The seizure occurred on the World Trade Bridge, which connects Laredo, Texas, with Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, over the Rio Grande, on Wednesday.
“Attempts to smuggle contraband through commercial supply chains are increasing,” Alberto Flores, CBP’s port director in Laredo, said in a statement. “Our continued dedication to maintaining a robust border security operations posture has led us to major narcotic interdictions at our cargo facilities.”
CBP was inspecting a 2003 Freightliner tractor that carried a shipment of air conditioning parts from Mexico, including a search leveraging canines, when they found 32 packages containing alleged cocaine.
The packages allegedly included 89.68 pounds of cocaine, amounting to an estimated street value of $691,560, CBP said.
CBP said it seized the alleged cocaine and the trailer, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure.

🇺🇸 The daughter of a late Black kidney patient wants justice against the security guards who attacked and wrongly detained him, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The shocking incident begins with Hughie Robinson heading back to the Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis after staff told him he left his wallet there. Just a few days before, the patient, who has stage four renal failure, got the good news: he was second in line for a possible kidney transplant.
After retrieving his wallet, Robinson came back to the Kingshighway garage and couldn’t find his Buick. He asked the front desk and even a security guard for help as he continued looking for his vehicle. This reportedly caught the attention of other security guards, who started suspecting he was looking for cars to steal, reporters learned.
That’s when the guards start approaching Robinson and forcefully grabbed his arm, which was tender from a procedure, according to a lawsuit filed last year against Barnes-Jewish. The then 52-year-old man allegedly asked them, ‘What did I do?’ before one of the guards tackled him, the filing claims. Then security allegedly started beating him up — including the guard tasked with helping Robinson search for his Buick.
“Hughie cried out that the guards were hurting him. At least one of the guards responded, ‘Good.’ The guards then forced Hughie into a pair of handcuffs. All of this was on video,” the lawsuit alleges.

[...]
In the middle of the program, Mohammad Javad Larijani answered the question, "how do you evaluate Biden's visit to the Zionist regime?" He said:
— "During Biden's visit to the Zionist regime, they also swore to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and naturally, according to the Fatwa of the Leader of the Revolution and Sharia, we are not allowed to pursue the production of weapons of mass destruction, including atomic ones, but if we wanted to, we can do it. It's just a matter of we doing it, and no one could stop us."
According to the expert, the slow political issues that happened during the JCPOA will be restored quickly, and Iran's nuclear power is not something that can be destroyed by bombing, because military analysts say that the capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran are not limited."

🇱🇾 - Interior ministry loyal to Tripoli-based PM Dbaiba promoted Farah Shakko, former member of the islamist armed group coalition of the Benghazi Shura Council, as an officer. Factions within the group, (such as the Al Qaeda affiliated, now-defunct Ansar al Sharia) are infamous for the 2012 attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi. Even though some factions dissolved, the military coalition they belonged to, called the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries is still active today.

The government usually sets a ceiling on spending requests submitted by ministries in crafting its annual state budget to avoid expenditures from increasing too much and straining Japan’s already worsening finances.

Farmers in Spain have come out to speak out against the eco-madness of environmental laws.
Protest tractors marched through the streets of Granada, Badajoz and Albacete.
In parallel with the action with Spain, farmers' protests are taking place in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Poland.
The reason for the speeches is the new eco—laws of the EU, which require reducing livestock by 30% in order to reduce nitrogen emissions.
Discontent with the sharp increase in fuel and fertilizer prices has also been added to them.
What could be more brilliant than reducing the number of livestock during the food crisis?

🇲🇽 🇺🇸 Rafael "Caro" Quintero is captured by Mexican marines, according to reports. The arrest comes right after the Mexican president met with Biden, and follows a ramped up reward campaign by the DEA. Caro Quintero has been fighting those loyal to the Chapitos in Sonora.
Caro Quintero is blamed for the kidnapping and murder of DEA agent Kike Camarena and the DEA were furious about his previous release, likely from a bribed judge, and putting pressure and resources into his capture.
The FBI had recently offered a reward of up to $20 million for any information that could lead to his arrest. The drug lord's life and criminal exploits have been chronicled in Netflix’s Narcos series.

🇨🇳 🏚 "The Damage Could Be Huge": Chinese Banks Tumble, Swept Up In Mortgage Nonpayment Scandal As Borrowers Revolt
What is the worst case scenario? Here we go back to the "non-linearity kicking in" case suggested by Morgan Stanley:
Home-buyer confidence weakens further from a low starting point, leading to further deterioration in property sales. This may force more developers, even relatively strong ones today, to suspend unfinished projects, furthering the downtrend. In the meantime, housing prices may continue to fall, exacerbating the downward spiral. Furthermore, the stress in the housing sector could spread to the broader economy, given the extensive inter-sector linkages, while being magnified by the financial system.
In short: a self-reinforcing downward cascade which ends in either a historical crash of the world's largest asset...
... or a state bailout. Here are the two most likely policy responses according to Morgan Stanley:
Damage control: Local governments will likely be called upon to mobilize resources on a by-project basis, possibly with the help of SOEs and LGFVs, to kick-start suspended projects, signaling to the public that housing completion is the over-arching priority. SOE developers may be encouraged to conduct M&A activities, taking over stalled projects.
Reining in systemic risk beyond the near term: Policy makers will likely need to send a clear and strong signal that they stand ready to be the "rescuer of the last resort" to rein in systemic risks. Plausible moves include more meaningful demand stimulus, more explicit guarantees on quality developers, or (less likely) a TARP-like program. Translation: a massive firehose of liquidity and credit is about to be unleashed.
One final though: similar to crypto lenders which generously handed out 20% DeFi interest until it all blew up spectacularly in one giant, cross-linked ponzi scheme, so China's 5%+ mortgage rates had been an extremely lucrative business for banks. It's now payback time.

🇸🇦👨💻📃 — On social medias, Saudi netizens who are enthusiastic about Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman's Reforms are seen praising the attitude (given that both the Wahhabi Arab Kingdom and the Jewish State have common enemies, Persians and their Khomeinist allies), while more religious critics criticize it for being an "abandonment of principles".
Whatever happens, such a decision will obviously be the beginning of a new series of events within the Arab World's Realm.

🇪🇪🔥⚠️ — 🇺🇸🗞 Politico: Estonian prime minister resigns, prepares to form new government
— "Kaja Kallas officially resigned as Estonia’s prime minister Thursday, bringing her government to an end. But she already has new coalition partners in place.
On June 3, Kallas kicked the left-leaning Center Party out of the two-party coalition after escalating tensions over spending and welfare policies.
The resignation of the prime minister was a formality needed in order to form a new government. In a statement, Kallas — who heads the center-right Reform Party — thanked the ministers with whom she led the country for one and a half years, saying that the coalition did “many good and great things” despite COVID-19, Russia’s war against Ukraine and the energy crisis.

🇳🇱 🛢 Shell chief warns Europe may have to ration energy during winter
Shell chief executive Ben van Beurden has warned Europe may need to ration access to energy this winter as he predicted “significantly” higher prices if Russia continues to choke the supply of gas into the EU.
The head of Europe’s largest oil and gas company said Russian President Vladimir Putin had shown he was “able and willing to weaponise energy supplies” and that a complete suspension of Russian gas exports to Europe cannot be ruled out.
“I think we will be facing a really tough winter in Europe,” van Beurden told an energy conference in Oxford on Thursday.
“Maybe some countries will fare better than others, but I think we will all be facing very significantly escalating pricing so there will be a lot of pressure on industry and therefore there will be a lot of pressure on the economy,” he said. “In the worst case, we will be in a situation where we have to ration.”
Russia’s main gas pipeline to Germany went offline for scheduled maintenance on Monday, with fears growing that the flow of gas might not resume after the repairs are completed.
Putin last week threatened “catastrophic consequences” for world energy markets if western powers impose further sanctions on Moscow over Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.

Macron announces "Turn off your lights" as it becomes clear Russia will not continue providing gas:
"French President Emmanuel Macron warned his country’s people Thursday to prepare for a total cutoff of Russian natural gas by supporting alternatives, having public lights switched off at night and engaging in a period of nationwide energy “sobriety.”
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing sanctions have aggravated other factors driving up prices for energy and others goods. With no end in sight for the Ukraine war, Macron said, the French should brace themselves for costs to remain high.
“This war will continue,” he said in a televised interview marking France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. “The summer, early autumn will be very hard.”"

🇦🇷 🌾 Dry weather pushes down Argentina's wheat harvest forecast
Argentina's wheat harvest for the 2022/23 season is expected at 17.7 million tonnes, down from a previous estimate of 18.5 million tonnes, the Rosario Grains Exchange (BCR) said late on Wednesday.
The decrease comes due to a drop in the estimated planting area because of a drought in agricultural areas. The grains exchange also revised upwards its 2021/22 forecast for corn production.
Agricultural regions have suffered significant water shortage since the wheat planting season began in May. BCR now sees areas planted in wheat at 5.9 million hectares (14.6 million acres), down from 6.2 million hectares forecast in June.
Last week, the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange reduced its estimate of the sown wheat area for the fourth time since the new wheat season began, just two months ago. In May, the Buenos Aires exchange estimated a planted area of 6.6 million hectares, and now it expects 6.2 million hectares.
BCR also adjusted its 2021/22 corn crop estimate to 51 million tonnes from a previous estimate of 49.2 million tonnes. Farmers have hauled in 85% of the area sown with the grain.
Argentina is a major world supplier of wheat and the second-largest exporter of corn. (Reporting by Maximilian Heath; Writing by Valentine Hilaire; Editing by Clarence Fernandez and Tom Hogue)

Senior figures in 5-Star, led by former prime minister Giuseppe Conte, met on Wednesday to decide whether to remain in the coalition, having issued a series of policy demands ahead of a vote of confidence on Thursday.
After the 5-Star meeting broke up a senior party source told Reuters Conte wanted to speak with Draghi to seek a compromise.
Italy is due to hold a national election in the first half of 2023 and tensions are rising among members of the coalition that Draghi has led for the past 18 months."

— "- Italy's 5-Star Movement will not take part in a parliamentary confidence vote on Thursday, party leader Giuseppe Conte said, in a move that looked likely to trigger the collapse of Prime Minister Mario Draghi's government.
Other coalition parties have warned that they will quit the government if 5-Star boycotts the vote in the Senate, while Draghi himself has said he would not head an administration without Conte's party on board.
Despite the threat of impending political chaos, Conte said at a 5-Star meeting that the party could not support the confidence motion, insisting the government should be doing much more to tackle growing social problems in the euro zone's third largest economy.
"We will not participate in the vote tomorrow," Conte said after a day of intense talks with 5-Star leaders and parliamentarians. He nonetheless left the door open for further discussions with Draghi on trying to overcome their differences"

Dabaiba sold them and Yahya ordered Dabaiba’s guards with them and they told us, “We will be stationed in the institution because (Mohammed Aoun), the Minister of Oil, will come to take over his duties in the morning from Sanalla’s office. We called (Ali Al-Dhib), head of the Petroleum Facilities Guard, and he said, “You are the masters of the situation, for God’s sake, you should guard the facilities. We have 3 headscarves.” We don't know how to meet them in Musaffah and Al-Bikat and their large number. We don't have an effort to let them be stationed in the center of the institution and salvation, but the truth is that there is no mistake in the protection personnel, and they are currently stationed inside the brigadigo and outside the institution only, they have not stormed the building and there have been no skirmishes so far.

The only standards for the world in the near-future will be power. International laws, human rights, ideology? No, these are literally made up and have failed us. A multi-polar world doesn't mean a structured ideological world, it only brings a struggle between great powers in the natural flow of history. If industrial technology even survives this transition there will be wars on the high seas instead of global trade. Struggle will ensure that all these social luxury issues of the present day melt away and bring about titans of fate that blur into legend.
May the best conqueror reap the spoils from the ruins of civilization. This is a brighter future than we could ever hope for. It is the present, the era without purpose that drives men into a dull abyss without a glorious end.

🇮🇹 Austerity, the government's new emergency plan: curfew in shops and clubs and cuts to electricity and gas at home
July 11, 2022 by Alessandro D Amato
Phase 2 of energy cuts: residential rationing saves 20% of the gas arriving from Russia. Help on bills on the way
An emergency plan for a new austerity. With interventions on heating, air conditioning and lighting. And the curfew for shops (at 7pm) and clubs (at 11pm). But also cuts to the "energy-intensive" industries. This provides for phase 2 of the energy emergency, which can be triggered in the event of cuts in gas supplies. While the awareness campaign for savings will start immediately. According to the calculations, residential rationing can save 20% of the gas arriving from Russia. Which also includes cuts in the heating of public offices. A series of extreme measures that should only be triggered in an emergency. And that would go hand in hand with that of the European Union. While more help on bills is on the way.
Stop with heaters -
The emergency plan of the Draghi government therefore provides for several steps according to needs and contingencies. And it can be summarized in a series of steps, as Il Messaggero explains today:
in homes the temperature of the radiators reduced by 2 degrees and stakes on the timetables;
curfew on lighting in extreme cases;
cut in the lighting of street lamps in cities and museums (up to 40%);
early closure of public offices;
reduction of heating to 19 degrees in public offices;
early closure of private premises (at 11pm);
early closure of shops (at 7pm);
reduction of gas and electricity to "interruptible" companies.
The plan also provides for a greater use of energy derived from coal. And the extraction of gas from the platforms with drilling. The reduction in temperatures in homes concerns the winter period, while in the summer there could be a limit to the use of air conditioning in the home of up to 27 degrees. The lighting cut could primarily affect the external lighting of private homes and condominiums.

🇺🇸 🧱 🇲🇽 Mexico agrees to provide $1.5 billion to help U.S. manage migrants on southern border
The Mexican government has agreed to provide roughly $1.5 billion toward a host of new construction projects along the U.S.-Mexico border to strengthen the U.S.’s ability to screen and process migrants, a White House official said Tuesday.
The agreement was discussed Tuesday when Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador met with President Joe Biden at the White House.
Former President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise of building a new border wall that he would get Mexico to pay for. While the Trump administration did build hundreds of miles of new and renovated border wall, the Mexican government did not pay for it.
Now, Mexico has agreed to pay for a number of projects through a joint multiyear effort along the countries’ borders, including “modernizing” ports of entry and enhancing screening processes of immigrants trying to cross from Mexico to the U.S. The exact details of the new projects are still being worked out, but, the official said, the new agreement will not result in the building of any kind of wall or border barrier.

The union is one of 13 rail worker unions negotiating a national labor contract after the previous contract expired in 2019. The vote comes days before a federally mandated “cooling off period” between the unions and rail carriers is set to expire, after the two sides failed in June to reach an agreement before the National Mediation Board.

ITALY. Italian citizens storm the city hall in La Spezia after the mayor refused to receive them: "I have no money to buy bread, what is my daughter eating tonight?"
In Italy, politicians earn €10,000 a month, while many citizens don't even have €2 to buy a loaf of bread due to the constantly rising costs due to the out of control inflation and loss of income caused by the Covid lockdowns and then the unvaccinated denied work in most jobs.

🇫🇷🦠 THE FAR RIGHT AND THE FAR LEFT VOTE TOGETHER AGAINST MACRON'S VACCINE PASSPORT
👉🏻 Following the last French legislative elections, the National Assembly is now split into three distinct blocs: the far-left bloc (NUPES: neo-Marxist and ecological coalition), the far-right bloc (Marine Le Pen's RN) and the centrist bloc of Macron and the Republican party.
🔎 Macron's deputies wanted to vote today for a law extending the vaccine passport policy in particular. This law had been passed with ease in the former parliament.
🗳️ But today, the far left and the far right voted together against Macron's project.
📌 The health passport was therefore rejected by the deputies.

Biden was set to touch down at Ben-Gurion airport on Wednesday afternoon local time. There he will kick off a four-day trip to Israel, the West Bank and Saudi Arabia aimed at further solidifying bilateral ties with Jerusalem, providing assurances to the Palestinians that his administration is still proactively committed to the two-state solution, and coaxing the Gulf kingdom to increase its oil production and coordinate with regional partners on Iran.
In Israel, the leadup to the trip has sparked feverish excitement over the potential for bringing its long-hushed correspondences with Saudi Arabia a bit more out into the open."

— "The European Space Agency terminated its cooperation with Russia to launch Europe's first planetary rover, the agency's chief said Tuesday.
Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, and ESA were collaborating on a mission involving the European ExoMars Rover, designed to look for signs of life on Mars.
The rover's September 2022 launch was initially suspended in March, just weeks after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Now, the ESA Council has officially cut ties with Roscosmos on this joint project as a result of the war in Ukraine and ongoing sanctions, ESA's Director General Josef Aschbacher wrote Tuesday on Twitter.
There will be more details shared about the future of the mission on July 20, he said.
The ESA has been considering working more closely with NASA moving forward since it became clear the agency needed "to sever" its ties with Russia, Aschbacher said."

The entrances and exits of the capital, Tripoli, witnessed a huge military mobilization, with armored vehicles, tanks and heavy and light weapons, which raised fears of armed clashes erupting in or around the capital between armed groups in the western region.

🇱🇾 Libya Tripoli Government Tries to Oust State Oil Company Boss
Libya’s western-based government has said the state oil company’s board must be dissolved and that its long-standing chairman, Mustafa Sanalla, should step down, according to several people familiar with the matter.
The Government of National Unity, based in Tripoli, has appointed a new board for the National Oil Corp., with Farhat Omar Bengdara, a former central bank governor, as chairman, the people said.
It’s unclear if the NOC and Sanalla will accept the decision because Libya’s mired in political chaos and has rival prime ministers, each of which claims to be the OPEC member’s legitimate ruler. The Tripoli administration has tried and failed at least once in the past year to dismiss Sanalla, who’s been in his role since 2014.
The stand off could further destabilize Libya’s energy sector. Protesters calling for the ouster of Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, the head of the GNU, have forced the NOC to shut several oil fields and ports since mid-April. That’s caused the country’s crude production to slump by roughly 50% to 600,000 barrels a day, exacerbating a supply shortage in global markets.
The NOC, Sanalla and the GNU didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Libya was meant to hold presidential elections in December, but they were delayed and no new date has been set. Some lawmakers declared former interior minister Fathi Bashagha as premier in February and said he should hold power until polls take place. Bashagha has set up a government in the central city of Sirte and is trying to get Dbeibah to resign.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador boasted to US President Joe Biden that gasoline prices are cheaper in his country during a White House meeting Tuesday aimed at shoring up ties between the countries after a series of disagreements.
AMLO, as the Mexican president is known, said his government was making it easier for Americans who live close to the southern border to purchase gasoline less expensively in Mexico -- and that lots of Americans were taking advantage of the proximity.

The Oval Office meeting was an effort to ease tensions and deepen the U.S.-Mexico partnership. But it was still tense, marked by an awkward sort of one-upmanship between Biden and a typically verbose, lecturing AMLO. The Mexican President spoke for a good 30+ minutes and informed Biden that Mexico is letting U.S citizens cross the border to buy gas as it’s $1/gallon cheaper.
Biden responded to this saying that U.S economic growth is leading the world.

🇯🇵⛩❌✡️💰 — 🕎🗞 Populist Japanese Politician Who Railed Against ‘Jewish Capital’ Wins Parliamentary Seat
— "A far-right populist party whose leader railed against “Jewish capital” in an election stump speech secured one seat in the upper house of Japan’s parliament in Sunday’s elections.
Sanseito, a populist party launched in 2020, ran candidates in all of Japan’s 45 electoral districts. Sunday’s vote marked a major victory for the governing Liberal Democratic Party of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, with ballots cast just two days after the shock assassination of former premier Shinzo Abe.
Sanseito’s sole parliamentary representative will be the party’s general secretary and co-founder, 44-year-old Sohei Kamiya.
At a campaign rally in June, Kamiya told the crowd that Sanseito would not sell out Japan to “Jewish capital,” a remark that was greeted with applause."
Other party leaders include Akao Yumi, the niece of Akao Bin, who was described by Jeffrey Hall, an American academic who teaches at Kanda University in Japan, as “one of the most infamous ultranationalists in postwar Japanese history.”"

Citing unnamed source from the company, Nova reported the Eni is currently monitoring the flow of gas from Libya.
The Libya Herald reported on Tuesday that the Tripoli-based government, led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, is going to cut gas exports to Italy as “it needs the gas for local consumption.”
“This is presumably to meet the demand for electricity stations during Libya’s current electricity supply crisis,” Libya Herald stated.

🇦🇹 🇮🇹 Gazprom begins maintenance work on Nord Stream, reduces supply to Austria and Italy
Europe watches nervously as it waits to see what effect the maintenance will have on gas deliveries, after recent cuts.
Austria's OMV said on Monday that Gazprom was further reducing the supply of gas. "OMV has been informed by Gazprom about a reduction in the gas supply. This means for today a reduction of about 70% of the amount that arrives at the Baumgarten natural gas hub" near the Slovak border, the group said in a statement emailed to AFP.
Italy's Eni said on Monday as well Gazprom was reducing the supply of gas to the country. "Gazprom announced that today it will supply to Eni volumes of gas for approximately 21 million cubic meters/day, while the average for the last few days was of about 32 million cubic meters/day," Eni said. Part of Gazprom's gas supplies reach Italy via the Trans Austria Gas Pipeline (TAG), but some of it comes through the Nord Stream 1, which has officially been shut off due to annual maintenance work.

France's Minister of Economy, Finance and Recovery warned on Sunday that Russia is likely to totally shut off its supply of natural gas to Europe.
The move would be a seismic shock to world geopolitics and undo decades of development in Europe and Russia predicated on energy sales.
Speaking at the economic forum Les Rencontres Économiques in southern France, Bruno Le Maire said: "Let's get ready for a total shutdown of the Russian gas supply," he said. "This is the most likely event."
He called for France to quickly invest in energy sources such as biogas and nuclear technologies in order to become independent of Russian energy.

🇪🇺 🇩🇪 Europe's Natural-Gas Crisis Is Worse Than It Looks
Markets now see shortages and sky-high prices lasting until 2024.
The first test comes in the next two weeks. The Nord Stream 1 pipeline, the most important gas link between Russia and the European Union, undergoes annual maintenance from July 11 to July 21. Berlin fears that Moscow will find an excuse to keep it closed for good, cutting gas supplies to Germany completely. After all that Moscow has done, the German government is right to be concerned.
Yet, Russia may want to keep some gas flowing to preserve its long-term leverage. From a game-theory point of view, that makes sense. Once Russia stops shipments completely, it can no longer apply pressure. Tactically, Moscow is likely to keep some gas moving, retaining the option of cutting or slowing flows whenever it chooses.

In 2020, the Netherlands exported 8.8 billion euros worth of meat, making it the biggest exporter of meat in the EU. Sixty percent of total Dutch earnings from meat sales are generated through meat exports and 40 percent through domestic meat sales. This is one of the findings in the latest edition of the Internationalisation Monitor published by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
The Netherlands is also the biggest exporter in terms of weight: last year, 3.6 billion kg of meat was exported. The Netherlands has been a major meat exporter for decades. For example, it already topped the EU ranking in 2000, with meat exports totalling 2.4 billion kg (5 billion euros).

— "Japan's ruling coalition won a sweeping supermajority in the country's parliamentary elections on Sunday, which would enable it to fulfill former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's enduring ambition to reform the country's pacifist constitution.
Why it matters: The elections were held two days after Abe's shocking assassination at a campaign stop geared toward winning the parliament’s upper house.
- Abe resigned from his post as prime minister in 2020 — to be succeeded by current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida — but remained an influential figure in the two leaders' shared Liberal Democratic Party.
The big picture: The Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partners won 87 seats in Sunday's election, surpassing the 70 needed to form a supermajority, the New York Times reported."

Anti-satellite technologies are on the rise as space becomes an increasingly vital domain for military activities.
The construction is taking place at the Russian Ministry of Defense's Krona space facility near Zelenchukskaya in Russia's far southwest, home of the massive RATAN-600 radio telescope. The existence of this new complex was brought to light in an in-depth open source investigation(opens in new tab) published by The Space Review that analyzed public satellite imagery, solicitation documents from Russian industrial contractors and Russian financial documents.
All of these sources lay out the construction of a project named Kalina, described in the financial documentation obtained by The Space Review as a laser system designed for "electro-optical warfare" that can permanently blind adversarial satellites by shining laser pulses so bright they can damage optical sensors. (This is distinctly different from other lasers known as "dazzlers," which are aimed at only temporarily blinding optics systems.)

🇺🇸 🛢 Biden administration takes key step in controversial Alaska oil drilling project, angering environmental groups
The Biden administration has taken a key step forward on a controversial proposed oil drilling project in Alaska's North Slope, angering climate advocates who say the project would release tons of emissions and doom the President's climate goals.
If approved and built, the project would produce 629 million barrels of oil over the course of a 30-year life span and would release between 278 million and 284 million metric tons of planet-warming carbon dioxide, according to the draft environmental impact statement.
The Biden administration has faced considerable pressure from congressional Republicans and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia to spur domestic energy production to help bring down gasoline prices, though this project would take years to complete.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska cheered the administration's move and said she would "continue to hold them accountable" in hopes the project would begin construction this winter.
Environmental groups blasted the new development, saying it would destroy Biden's climate goals of slashing US greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade and accelerate the pace of climate change.
"This project is a climate disaster in waiting," Christy Goldfuss, senior vice president for energy and environment policy at the Center for American Progress, said in a statement. "When approved, it will define the country's energy future for the next 30-plus years while having no impact on the pain that Americans are currently feeling at the pump."

🛢️ Citgo is ready to receive oil imports from Venezuela if the US authorizes it
The subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in the United States, Citgo, is only waiting for the United States government to grant it to start importing oil from Venezuela.
Energy transnationals operating in Venezuela are also awaiting authorization from the United States to fully resume business with PDVSA, although both ENI and Repsol have already received the green light to receive oil imports as a form of payment for the debt that the Venezuelan state company accumulates with both companies

🇩🇪 Germany dims the lights to cope with Russia gas supply crunch
Germany is rationing hot water, dimming its street lights and shutting down swimming pools as the impact of its energy crunch begins to spread from industry to offices, leisure centres and homes.
A huge increase in gas prices triggered by Russia’s move last month to sharply reduce supplies to Germany has plunged Europe’s biggest economy into its worst energy crisis since the oil price shock of 1973.
Gas importers and utilities are fighting for survival while consumer bills are going through the roof, with some warning of rising friction.
“The situation is more than dramatic,” said Axel Gedaschko, head of the federation of German housing enterprises. “Germany’s social peace is in great danger.”
As tensions over Russia’s war in Ukraine escalate, officials fear the situation could get worse. On Monday, Russia is shutting down its main pipeline to Germany, Nord Stream 1, for 10 days of scheduled maintenance. Many in Berlin fear it will never reopen.

New Guide ~ How We Built a Fren Movement: The Power of the Rosary
https://telegra.ph/How-We-Built-a-Fren-Movement-The-Power-of-the-Rosary-07-08
This is a long-term project about guiding all of us into thriving in our respective societies, despite all the problems one might face each step of the way. For lonely, young, right-wing Men with social problems, we wrote the "How to make friends" guide with @ChristianReactionary & @chadistan. This guide provided explanations regarding how to cease being a chronic loner and make friends.
Now, for these same young men that progressed and can manage to find a few friends, handle social situations better, for this situation we wrote, "How to Make A Fren Movement" with @GalliaDaily & @CIG_telegram. That guide applied social disciplines to searching-for/organizing like-minded people and setting up real-life groups and a network of high-trust friendships.
Once you have a good network and many friends, what now? Time to think bigger. This led us to our new guide, " How We Built a Fren Movement: The Power of the Rosary" with @CIG_telegram & @ChristianReactionary. This time we will actually show you how we applied a tiered framework, in this case through a Catholic ontological context.
The thumbnail you see was the "Rosary for The Youth of Spain" event. Thanks to God, we helped in its organization and we ended up attracting 3,000-4,000 mainstream Catholics to pray the rosary in the center of Madrid.
We also organized Men's Rosaries following the example of Poland, in Madrid last April. Through Men's Rosaries we reached out towards devout and conservative Catholics. We attracted about 300-400 attendees and many countries have followed our example.
For the ingroup activities, we strengthened the youth programs of our parish, the amount of people in these activities numbered about 20-50 people usually.
All of this has been a blessing in many ways, to truly praise God in the streets, it's a way to unite everyone in prayer, despite their differences. If you want to see the fruits of our labor and the process we used in more detail, check out our article.

🇯🇵🔫❗ — 🇯🇵 Nikkei Asia Review: Abe shooting suspect's motive was related to 'specific organization', police say
— "The suspect who allegedly shot Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told the police here that he had a grudge against a specific organization*, and that he thought Abe had a link to that group, a police official told a news conference on Friday.
The suspect, now detained for attempted murder, is identified as Tetsuya Yamagami.
He is 41 years old.
The police official said that Yamagami admitted to the shooting, which took place in broad daylight Friday while Abe was giving a speech on a crowded street in the central Japanese city of Nara.
Police had confirmed that the gun used in the shooting was handmade, and that the length of the weapon was about 40 cm. The Nara police obtained several other objects that are thought to be handmade guns when they investigated the suspect's residence.
Yamagami learned about Abe's whereabouts on a website showing the former Japanese prime minister's schedule for campaign speeches, according to the police."

— The Only Organization, outside of the LDP Party, that Mr. Shinzo Abe was known to participate was Nippon Kaigi, an Traditionalist, Monarchist, Anti-Secularist, anti-LGBT, Pro-Family and considered, by some, as "Ultranationalist" organization, since it, through peaceful ways, seeks to change the Japanese constitution and do away with its pacifist clauses, and replace it for a Pro-Sovereignty and that ensure Japanese National Defense Rights.

Does history repeat itself?
🇯🇵🔪📸 — The Former Prime Minister of Japan and Grandfather of Shinzō Abe, Nobusuke Kishi, also had suffered an assassination attempt, in 1960, when he was stabbed.
Mr. Nobosuke Kishi, who served as member of 🇯🇵⛩ Ultramonarchist/Third Positionist "Imperial Rule Assistance Association" under Prime-Minister Hideki Tojo and had a Great role in Manchukuo, was also a member of Japan's Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP)
That time, the assailant was Taisuke Aramaki, -an unemployed 65-year-old man affiliated with various Anti-American Far-Right groups and a sympathizer of Michiko Kanba, a Japanese communist who died during the Anpo Incidents, the protests against the Mutual Defense Treaty between the US and Japan in 1960 -, stabbing Kishi six times
Mr. Aramaki on Pre-WW2 period also was the Secretary General of Far-Right Taikakai and after that, a supporter of Banboku Ono, leader of the LDP's ultranationalist faction "ingaidan" (who also happened to be tied with Yakuza by the way)

The Russian State Duma adopted the third and final reading of a law introduced by the cabinet of ministers on June 30 that will allow the Russian government to oversee and regulate labor relations in Russian enterprises (both state and privately-owned).[4] This law, as ISW has previously reported, will allow government officials to recall workers from personal vacations, reschedule time off without employee consent, and require employees to work weekends, holidays, and nights. These measures allow the Kremlin to take much more direct control of most aspects of the Russian economy, including suspending rights and protections some workers would normally have.[5] The law must still be sent to the Federation Council before it reaches Russian President Vladimir Putin and is officially published, but the Kremlin is likely seeking to use the law to leverage domestic labor to maximize economic output and prepare for protracted operations in Ukraine.[6] Russia’s largest lead production plant reportedly stopped production on July 6 due to the almost-total halt of Russian metallurgical exports, and the Kremlin will likely continue to take measures to codify economic mobilization to offset or mitigate the effects of sanctions and the war on essential industries.

The activities of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) have been suspended for 30 days by a decision of the Novorossiysk court.
The basis was the identified environmental violations that need to be eliminated, reports @sputnikKZ.
CPC intends to appeal the court's decision.
Earlier, CPC suspended oil loading in March due to an accident on remote berthing devices (VPU).
Also on June 19, Russia stopped the shipment of Kazakh oil due to the discovery of 50 WWII mines in the Caspian Sea. On June 23, they were neutralized and their work was restored.
The CPC oil pipeline system is the largest route for transporting oil from the Caspian Sea to world markets with a length of 1.5 thousand kilometers.

On the social medias of such groups, Christian pastors and conservative figures from the ROK political and social milieu, publish banners condemning the Biden Administration for naming Mr. Goldberg as ambassador to the nation for the fact that he is self-declared homosexual, calling this fact part of the "US Policy of Homosexual Cultural Imperialism", which, according to such groups, will lead to "a greater opening of the controversies involving homosexuality in the country", calling on both the South Korean and American Govts to reverse such nomination
It's important to remember that one of the reasons, heavily emphasized by such groups, behind the election of Rightist Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol had been South Korea's declining birthrate and the notion that sexual liberalism in ROK went too far

— "Multiple Texas counties on Tuesday will declare that the migrant crisis at the southern border is an "invasion," Fox News has learned, a move that could lead to similar declarations across the state.
Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan is expected to announce the move at a news conference Tuesday afternoon, along with a number of other officials from other counties who will join him.
Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith told Fox News Digital that he believes approximately 12 to15 counties could end up having declared an invasion by the end of the month.
With migrant numbers hitting historic levels, and with more than 239,000 migrant encounters in May alone, there has been considerable talk in conservative circles about the merits of declaring the crisis an "invasion" -- which could open up a number of potential legal avenues for states."

🇫🇮 🇷🇺 Finland seizes hundreds of Russian freight cars as EU sanctions bite
Finland has seized nearly a thousand freight cars belonging to Russian companies as a result of European Union sanctions, according to Finnish state-owned rail operator VR and a letter from Russia's rail monopoly seen by Reuters.
As Finland's VR moved to reduce railway traffic with Russia after the EU sanctioned Russian coal supplies in April, 865 rail cars from Russia were seized by bailiffs, according to the June 6 dated letter from Russian Railways to the Ministry of Transport.
VR's head of logistics told Finnish media in March that around 5,000 Russian rail cars were in Finland when it decided to suspend traffic, and while his company wanted to send them back, bailiffs ordered some to be seized.
The seized rail cars belong to companies either directly hit by EU sanctions or whose shareholders gave up their control because they got hit by sanctions after Russia sent its troops into Ukraine in late February.

Activists were able to proceed peacefully and orderly through over two miles of the city despite harassment from police and an isolated attempt to assault the column by a pedestrian.

🇺🇿🔥📹 — Since 1 July 2022, with the official announcement by the Central Government of Uzbekistan to remove the territorial sovereignty and constitutional right of secession of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, local Karakalpaks took the streets to protest against the decision of changing the Constitution of the country, as well to defend the autonomous sovereignty of Karakalpakstan
Such protests come as Government of Uzbekistan plans to hold a referendum in the coming months on a new version of the constitution, which would no longer mention Karakalpakstan’s sovereignty or right to secession.
The current Uzbek constitution describes it as a sovereign republic that has the right to secede by holding a referendum since the fall of the Soviet Union
Although massively adhered, the protests were mainly focused on Nukus, the regional capital of Karakalpakstan

🇨🇦 The Post Millennial | Canada's first flag called white supremacist symbol on Trudeau Liberal-funded 'anti-hate' site for kids | 30-06-22
— "The Trudeau Liberals have launched an "anti-hate" toolkit titled "Confronting and Preventing Racism in Canadian Schools" that classifies Canada's first flag as a symbol of hate.
Antihate.ca, funded by a $268,000 federal grant, calls Canada's Red Ensign— the flag that Canadians fought under in both World War I and World War II while killing actual Nazis— a flag that "denotes a desire to return to Canada’s demographics before 1967, when it was predominately white."
"The Canadian Red Ensign is often used by the younger alt-right/Canada First movement but has been seen amongst older hate-promoting groups and individuals. Its usage in modern times is an indicator of hate-promoting beliefs," the booklet says."

🎞🇷🇺🇺🇦 Bakhmut: a new phase in the battle for Donbass
One of the most popular questions during the special military operation boils down to the banal "Why aren't our troops advancing on settlement N, since from there it's a direct road to victory?"
In both Popasna and Bakhmut, such a question has been raised more than once. And instead of a thousand explanations, we decided to make a video which demonstrates what is happening.
Today, AFU are trying with all their might to hold back the Russian offensive. Reinforcements are being constantly sent near Bakhmut, while artillery and tactical aviation of the enemy are attacking the advancing units.
Wagner's PMC assault units are breaking through the defensive lines to the east of Bakhmut. It is likely that they will be tasked with the capture of the vital population centre.
Bakhmut itself is difficult to defend effectively because of its geographical location. The city is located in a lowland area along the riverbed. But there will definitely be no easy assault.
Watch our video to find out why.
P.S. If you have specific questions about the front configuration, you can not understand what is happening in a particular area, or you have any idea - feel free to write to us in the bot @rybar_feedback_bot. We won't be able to answer all your questions in such a form, but it' s a great way to start.

🇱🇾🔥⚠️ — Over the last 24 hours, massive protests have taken over the streets of Tobruk, one of the largest cities in the eastern part of Libya, Cyrenaica, demanding changes due to the increase in the cost of living of the local population - food and energy - and the popular dissatisfaction with the local factions that operate under the House of Representatives
During the protests, protesters using both the Idris of Libya Flag — the 🟥⬛️🟩 Tricolor with crescent used by Libyan Unionists — and Gaddafi's Libyan Flag — The 🟩 Purely Green Flag of the Arab Jamahiriya — generally used by Gaddafi loyalists, gathered in the city streets during the protests and together they burned the building of the rival Libyan Parliament.
However, protests are being reported not only in Tobruk, but in several Libyan urban centers, independent of the Second Civil War factions, such as Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi and even in Sabha, in the south of the country, in the middle of the Sahara.

🇮🇳 🏴 The brutal murder of a Hindu in Rajasthan as a possible reason for the resumption of interethnic conflict in India - Rybar
🔻 What happened?
On Tuesday, June 28, two Muslim residents of the city of Udaipur in the state of Rajasthan, Riyaz Attari and Ghos Mohammed, brutally cracked down on local tailor Kanhaiya Lal for his public support of statements about the Prophet Muhammad made by the former spokesman of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). ) Nipur Sharma.
The massacre in the "best" traditions of radical extremist organizations like the "Islamic State" (head cut off) and subsequent threats to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, filmed on video, caused a wide resonance within Indian society.
Despite the fact that the killers were detained a few hours after the brutal murder, more than 7 thousand people came out to protest. Hindus organized processions in Udaipur, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, New Delhi. They demanded swift and decisive action from the authorities in the form of the death penalty for two Muslims.
The ruling party urged citizens to wait for an official trial and not to destabilize the situation in the country on confessional grounds. However, tensions in India persist. Representatives of the "right" want an immediate solution to the issue of the spread of radical Islamism.
In the border state of Rajasthan with Pakistan, an increased readiness regime for law enforcement agencies has been introduced. And in order to prevent the spread of extremist videos with the public execution of an Indian citizen and calls to fight against Muslims, the Internet is completely disconnected.
🔻 What threatens the current situation in India?
A week ago, we analyzed a possible option for the activation of supporters of radical Islamism on the territory of India itself. Despite the prompt detention of two involved, the problem is only gaining momentum.
Hindus across the country are demanding the execution of two Muslims as the ruling party said the perpetrators would be tried within the bounds of the law. Hasty action to satisfy an angry public threatens with more serious consequences.
The members of the Bharatiya Janata Party are in a very difficult position. In the event of a death sentence, the Indian leadership may face the wrath of not only Islamic radicals, but also ordinary Muslims because, in their opinion, the privileged position of Hindus in all spheres of life.
Since the beginning of this year, demonstrations of the Muslim population have been periodically held in the northern and northwestern states of the country due to religious harassment by the authorities.
However, if the Indian leadership is in principle accustomed to this situation, since they have been arising for more than a year, then while saving the lives of the detainees, the ruling party may face much greater problems in the form of dissatisfaction with Indian nationalists.
The political agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi since 2014 has been based on Hindutva, a movement that preaches the superiority of Hindus over other ethnic groups in the country. It is they who make up the majority in the election campaign of the current government. Their discontent can develop into general demonstrations and acts of disobedience up to armed clashes, which in the current conditions of the growing global crisis will be extremely out of place.

🇺🇸🔌📉 — 🇬🇧 Reuters: U.S. power companies face supply-chain crisis this summer
— " U.S. power companies are facing supply crunches that may hamper their ability to keep the lights on as the nation heads into the heat of summer and the peak hurricane season.
Extreme weather events such as storms, wildfires and drought are becoming more common in the United States. Consumer power use is expected to hit all-time highs this summer, which could strain electric grids at a time when federal agencies are warning the weather could pose reliability issues.
Utilities are warning of supply constraints for equipment, which could hamper efforts to restore power during outages. They are also having a tougher time rebuilding natural gas stockpiles for next winter as power generators burn record amounts of gas following the shutdown of dozens of coal plants in recent years and extreme drought cuts hydropower supplies in many Western states."

Now, given the beginning of massive waves of immigration coming from the Sahel to both Libya, Morocco and, consequently, Spain during the NATO Summit, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Spanish Kingdom highlighted a topic much discussed in social medias and geopolitical circles in the Maghreb and West Africa:
— The possibility of a Second Wave of Interventions by the Transatlantic Alliance in Africa, specifically in the Sahel, where the Black Flags are increasingly gaining ground.
🇬🇧 Reuters | Spain's foreign minister does not rule out NATO intervention in Mali | 30-06-22
— " Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Thursday he does not rule out a NATO intervention in Mali if needed, after the alliance's summit in Madrid mentioned terrorism among the "hybrid threats" that hostile powers can use to undermine its stability.
Asked about a NATO intervention in Mali, he told local radio station RNE: "No, we don't rule it out."
"If it were necessary and if it posed a threat to our security, we would do it," he added.
The new NATO Strategic Concept mentions terrorism and migration as elements to monitor in the next decade, and points to the southern flank as a new source of risk to stability."
