FRANCE - Emmanuel Macron went to an Elton John concert the day after the fatal shooting of a teenager, which has sparked three days of violence in France. The French president was filmed at Paris’ Accor Arena for the British singer’s farewell tour on Wednesday night, the second evening of riots after the killing of Nahel M. France deployed 40,000 officers around the country on Thursday, as anger over the police shooting of the 17-year-old reached boiling point and a policeman was charged over his death.

USA - The Chinese spy balloon that President Joe Biden allowed to fly over the US earlier this year was reportedly carrying American-made hardware to capture reconnaissance imagery. The Wall Street Journal reported that the multiple federal agencies discovered that the balloon was “crammed with commercially available US gear, some of it for sale online, and interspersed with more specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment to collect photos, video and other information to transmit to China.” The report also said that the spy balloon had large solar panels to power it and that it was able to capture “radar data.” China has threatened the US against making details from its investigation into the balloon public, claiming that they will be forced to respond in a harsh manner. The Biden administration has so far cowered to China’s demands and has not shared details from the investigation with the public, even though the US has a history of doing so with other nations.

USA - A clip of a progressive Lutheran church reciting the “Sparkle Creed,” a version of the Apostle’s Creed modified to emphasize LGBTQ+ inclusion, caused controversy online this week, with critics characterizing it as “idolatry,” “heresy,” and “absolute insanity.” "This is, without qualification, idolatry,” tweeted pastor and podcaster Patrick Miller. “It is liturgical malpractice."

USA - Ken Ham, Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and its Ark Encounter attraction, announced July 18, 2017, that the ark replica will be permanently illuminated with rainbow lights at night. Ken Ham, CEO and founder of The Ark Encounter in northern Kentucky, said they have set up permanent rainbow lights “to remind the world that God owns it, and He decreed it’s a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood… Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do at The Ark Encounter.”

USA - An artificial sweetener added to thousands of fizzy drinks, chewing gums and low-calorie foods will be declared a potential cancer risk, a bombshell report claimed today. Aspartame is set to be listed as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans' in a World Health Organization reclassification, according to insiders. It follows a major safety review into the artificial sugar replacement involving 1,300 studies. The move will send shockwaves through the global food manufacturing market, with some of the world's best-loved brands affected. A huge push to crackdown on sugar over the past few decades has led to the mass usage of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Since 1981, the JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits.

SWEDEN - Sweden has just dealt a severe blow to the globalist climate agenda by scraping its green energy targets. In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.” Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements. Instead, the Swedish Government is shifting back to nuclear power and has ditched its targets for a “100% renewable energy” supply. The Swedish people wish to “ground their economy in an energy source, nuclear, that is physically sound and secure, unlike renewables which are neither,” he explains. Other world governments are continuing “to live in a fantasy” about meeting the green agenda goals, Constable added. “But we are coming to the end of the green dream.” The move is a major blow to unreliable and inefficient technology.

SWEDEN - An Iraqi man filled a Koran with bacon and burned it in Stockholm on Wednesday, an event that has angered Turkey as Sweden bids to join NATO. The inflammatory stunt was carried out by two men outside the city's main mosque on the first day of the Muslim three-day Eid al-Adha holiday. Some 200 onlookers witnessed one of the two organisers - Salwan Momika - tearing up pages of a copy of the Koran and wiping his shoes with it before putting bacon in it and setting the book on fire, whilst the other protester spoke into a megaphone. Some of those present shouted 'God is great' in Arabic to protest against the burning, and one man was detained by police after he attempted to throw a rock. A supporter of the demonstration shouted 'let it burn' as the holy book caught on fire. It came after police approved a request to allow the man to go ahead with the action.

TAIWAN - Taipei has warned Beijing that any military assets that enter its ‘territorial airspace’ will be shot at. Taiwan has repeated its stance that it would destroy any Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft or vessels if they were to enter a 12 nautical mile zone around the island, Taipei’s military leadership said on Tuesday. “If the PLA side continues to ignore our warnings along the way and force their way into our territorial air space and seas, we will actively strike back to safeguard national security,” Major General Lin Wen-huang, a planning administrator at Taipei’s Ministry of National Defense (MND), said on Tuesday in comments carried by Taiwan’s Central News Agency.

HUNGARY - Europe is moving closer to “catastrophe in every sense,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto declared on Monday, before extending Budapest’s veto on EU arms transfers to Ukraine. “Europe is moving closer to a catastrophe - in every sense, unfortunately,” Szijjarto wrote on Facebook before meeting with EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday. “Now even bigger trouble could be prevented and many thousands of lives could be saved,” he continued, “but to do this one would have to break out of the war psychosis.”

UK - The British Conservative party may be hopelessly behind in the polls, yet all over Europe the right is surging ahead. Everywhere you look, the left is losing – in Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Hungary and now, following an election victory for the New Democracy party on Sunday, Greece. In Italy, already blessed with a large majority, Giorgia Meloni will benefit further from the death of Silvio Berlusconi

Top 10 reasons “climate change” is a Ponzi scheme and a hoax to steal everyone’s money, human rights, and constitutional freedoms.

1. Climate change was called “global warming” for decades, until all the “rising temperature” charts were proven fake, the oceans were not rising at the shorelines, and the glaciers were not receding at the poles.
2. Electric vehicles actually utilize MORE fossil fuel and energy to run the charging stations, build them, and to manufacture the vehicles anyway.
3. The entire agriculture and transportation industries would implode because there’s no way to replace all the machinery, tractors, and tractor trailers with electric or solar powered machines in the next century.
4. There are NOT more natural storms than there ever were before, including tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, etc.
5. The globalists, elitists, and celebrities pushing hardest for everyone to bow down and support “climate change” travel the world relentlessly in fossil-fuel-powered planes, jets, yachts, and SUVs to preach at their Ponzi scheme seminars.
6. The world’s poster girl for “climate change” is a dogmatic, drama-infused sensationalist who keeps predicting the end of the world date over and over, and that date must be renegotiated as each one passes.
7. Climate change is just another apparatus for the communist police-state tyranny to steal money from the populace, control their purchases and movement, and install mass surveillance for worsened tyrannical control.
8. Carbon dioxide is NOT even a pollutant, as the climate alarmists claim as their major stance, but rather it’s the elixir of life itself.
9. Big Tech social media giants, MSM, the globalists, and the climate change death cult (CCDC) are censoring all debate about “climate change” because there’s literally ZERO science to back up their claims, and contrary, the science shows we are in a slow cooling phase anyway.
10. George Soros is behind it. Possibly the most sinister man on planet earth, anything that George Soros funds and backs is a money-making, humanity-destroying enterprise, and the climate change hoax is no exception to that rule.

USA - If any Americans are “extremely” interested in deconstructing the elixir of life, carbon dioxide (CO2), then they might be considered a “domestic terrorist,” because without CO2, all plant life will become extinct, which means all humans and animals die off too. So these climate change extremists who want to force everyone to create a “zero carbon footprint” by whatever year they proclaim, well they are members of the climate cult who are demanding we render the earth uninhabitable. Sounds criminal.

USA - BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Sunday that he will not use the term “ESG,” which stands for environment, social and governance, anymore, citing the term’s political connotation, Axios reported. “I’m ashamed of being part of this conversation,” Fink said in a discussion at the Aspen Ideas Festival on Sunday, according to Axios. ESG emphasizes green investing strategies to advance climate-focused efforts, such as net-zero emissions, according to a 2022 letter to CEOs by Fink. “I’m not going to use the word ESG because it’s been misused by the far left and the far right,” Fink said, according to Axios.

USA - Since the pandemic, we've seen the use of digital identity evolve alongside our hybrid lifestyles, as more businesses and government agencies were pushed to move interactions online rather than in person. By 2021, several countries began exploring digital vaccine passports for travel given the acute need for convenient, secure confirmation of a traveler’s health status. Although not a concern anymore for most governments and individuals, it’s a use case that drove home the value of digital identities more clearly to both private companies and government entities.

UKRAINE - Peace negotiations on the Ukraine conflict could begin as early as next month, German state-TV channel ARD has claimed. According to the broadcaster, senior officials from a number of global powers held a meeting last week in the Danish capital Copenhagen to discuss the issue. ARD reported on Sunday that US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was among the dignitaries present at the event. According to the broadcaster, the main objective of the gathering was to secure the support of ‘neutral’ countries such as China, India, Brazil and South Africa. Last Thursday, the Financial Times reported that Sullivan, along with high-ranking State Department official Victoria Nuland, would head a “diplomatic offensive” at Ukraine’s request.
