North Korea has pledged to send military personnel to Ukraine within a month to support Putin‘s war-weary forces as both sides struggle to make a decisive breakthrough.
Pyongyang will take an unprecedented step in sending construction and engineering forces to occupied territories of Ukraine as early as July to assist in rebuilding work, South Korea‘s TV Chosun reported earlier, citing a government official.
The rare vow of foreign support follows president Vladimir Putin’s official state visit to North Korea earlier this month – the first in almost a quarter of a century – which culminated in the signing of a so-called defence pact on June 19.
The treaty binds its signatories to providing ‘military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay’ should either find itself ‘put in a state of war by an armed invasion’.
North Korea is believed to have already supplied Russia with about 1.6mn artillery shells between August and January as Moscow continues to hammer populated areas of Ukraine and tries to make decisive gains in the north.
As polarisation hardens, Pyongyang officials criticised the United States on Monday for its expanding military assistance to Ukraine and dispatch of an aircraft carrier to South Korea, warning it could provoke a ‘new world war’, according to state media.
The Supreme Court rejected the standing of the State of Missouri and five individuals in the censorship and free speech case surrounding social media. The court came down with a 6-3 decision, Justice Amy Coney-Barrett writing the majority opinion. Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas dissented in the minority.
The background of the case was very familiar to this audience, as the Biden administration was previously blocked by lower courts from telling social media platforms to remove content against their interests. Today, the Supreme Court rejected the standing of the plaintiffs, essentially giving a green light to the USA government to begin controlling social media platforms again.
If you read the opinion [FULL PDF HERE], I would strongly urge readers to focus beginning on page #11 of the Justice Barrett opinion. It is obvious in the three or four pages that follow, the court was looking for an exit from the free speech issue. Denying the case on “standing” grounds became their justification for the cop-out.
Barrett goes out of her way to make the standing issue the crux of the majority opinion. Comey-Barrett dismisses all the instances of censorship and coerced removal under the auspices that the relief sought by the plaintiffs was for future harm, not past injury. The lower courts had ruled the government could not interfere with speech in the future, without establishing that each individual plaintiff was harmed specifically by each action of the government.
Social media platforms did some censorship and content removal on their own, without government direction. Therefore, it becomes impossible for the court to determine which censorship decisions were made by government coercion, and which were made by the social media platform with ordinary moderation rules being applied. {pdf page #11}
Steve Sailer has spent a lifetime observing human behavior and coming to obvious, sensible conclusions. For the crime of noticing reality, he’s been ostracized, although secretly everyone still reads him.
Something is going to happen before the election. False Flags are loud semiotic mind-control events. They terrify and galvanize large populations within hours. The open southern border has set it up. Everybody is expecting something like this, which means we have been preprogrammed to expect it. That’s mind-control. ABN
A Nepali man whose followers believe him to be a reincarnation of Buddha has been convicted of child sexual abuse, a court official said Tuesday.
Ram Bahadur Bomjan, known as “Buddha Boy” by his devotees, became famous as a teenager after followers said he could meditate motionless for months without water, food or sleep.
“The district court on Monday found Bomjan guilty of child sex abuse,” said Sikindar Kaapar, information officer at the court in Nepal’s southern town of Sarlahi.
He is expected to be sentenced next month.
Bomjon, who faces up to 14 years in prison, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Dilip Kumar Jha, said that there was no evidence against his client and that they would appeal the case in a higher court.
The 33-year-old guru has a devout following but has long been accused of physically and sexually assaulting his followers, and had been hiding from authorities for several years.
The woman behind the viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ video has been identified as Hailey Welch and is now selling merchandise branded with her catchphrase.
Welch became famous for the video in which she used the term ‘Hawk Tuah’ to describe spitting as part of a sexual act.
Since the interview was posted on June 19, the woman has become an internet sensation that sparked hundreds of memes.
Now she’s cashing in on her new found fame and partnered with Tennessee based hat company Fathead Threads to sell her own line of hats, after being identified by OutKick.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange flew out of the UK on Monday apparently a free man after reaching a plea deal with US authorities over spy charges that have dogged him for more than a decade.
In the coming hours, Assange, 52, is expected to plead guilty to a single espionage charge in a court appearance on a tiny US-controlled Pacific island and prosecutors will seek a sentence equivalent to time served.
WikiLeaks published footage of Assange being driven from Belmarsh jail in London, where he has been detained for five years, to Stansted Airport. He then boarded a private jet that landed in Bangkok, Thailand to refuel.
UPDATE: Hickenlooper is interesting on the topic of face-blindness, or prosopagnosia. He also talks a lot about leadership. I have no doubt he is a personable, gregarious guy who knows how to work cheerfully for the Democrat machine. This is precisely the type of person our mind-control masters groom and use for their nefarious ends. Many people of this ilk have no idea they are in leadership positions because they are the perfect tool, useful idiots who may actually believe the party line or at least be able to go along with it without bothering their consciences too much. All of our major institutions are filled with people like this, along with the psychopaths and parasites who control them. A major quality most of them have in spades is superficial charm. ABN
