good question. i saw that footage. that means others saw it too. we haven't really seen such graphic scenes before. even the ruskies didn't hold back the footage on how they treated those POS. all feels like an approaching precipice.
Outgoing Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry claimed that people would "feel better" about the ongoing war in Ukraine if Russia would "make a greater effort to reduce emissions."
"If Russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions now," Kerry said during a foreign press briefing on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., his last as the SPEC, as he departed from the position Wednesday to reportedly join President Biden's presidential re-election campaign.
"Maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time," he said.
"I believe that Russia has the ability to be able to make enormous changes if it really wanted to. I mean, if Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, they ought to be able to find the effort to be responsible on the climate issue," Kerry said.
'Tucker still has that interview he did months ago with Julian Assange inside Belmarsh Prison in his back pocket.'
this is speculation. if i were british DS there's no way i'd let carlson interview assange - at least not without a lot of censorship. my paranoid brain tells me they prolly told carlson he wasn't to say anything either way - whether he did or did not interview him. all we know is that he entered the prison. and left.
thanks OP for bringing this to our attention. there's weeks of digging on this site. as with anything, take what you like and leave the rest. she believes in God and Jesus Christ and has some radical perspectives which some may not like. she may have some stuff wrong but i believe her heart is in the right place. just got back from the screening of the assange film 'trust fall' and there are agendas all over the place.
extraordinary claims from someone seemingly well connected. he's got a 'trust me bro' kind of feel so i'm taking this with a large pinch of salt. also he has this ' i'm dying from the vax' signature. possibly a european aprentice larpist. interesting ideas though.
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, New Zealand's youngest MP since 1853, grabbed the attention of social media through her maiden speech in the Parliament, where she spoke in her native tongue and assailed government policies against indigenous people in the country, including the Māori community from where she belongs.
In a report by the New Zealand Herald, the 21-year-old Maipi-Clarke dedicated her last month's maiden speech to all tamariki Māori, "who have been sitting in the back of their classroom their whole life, whakamā, waiting for generations longing to learn their native tongue, to the tamariki who haven’t been to their pepeha yet, it is waiting for you with open arms".
Dressed in a white suit with a red blouse and her dark hair down, the MP said, "In only a couple of weeks ... this Government has attacked my whole world ... Health, taiao [environment], wai [water], whenua [land], natural resources, Māori wards, reo [language], tamariki, and the right of me and you to be in this country under Te Tiriti." What did Maipi-Clarke say?
She further said that standing for elections and becoming an MP had "definitely" not been her plan, but the government "kept tampering with things they shouldn't be touching, and that's why I left the māra (garden) to come here."
"To Hauraki-Waikato, I am at your service in and outside of Parliament. I will die for you in these chambers, but I will live for you outside these four walls...To our mokopuna, they can attack me, but I will not let them attack you. Our first words we spoke in this House was an oath to you," she said, addressing them in her native tongue.
see also 'the great taking'. am about to go through it again tonight for the third time.
hey bowster i've been reading annas stuff for years but i'm not an american. i think it's amazing. what i don't understand is why there isn't more interest in what she says. i mean, not a single comment from this board. any ideas?
Finland will sign a defense agreement this week giving the United States access to 15 military bases in NATO’s newest member, the Finnish defense ministry said on Friday.
“The Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) is to be signed in Washington DC” on Monday by Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the foreign affairs ministry said.
The treaty must then be approved by the Nordic country’s parliament.
“The DCA will strengthen Finland’s defence because it enables the presence and training of US forces and the prepositioning of defence material in the territory of Finland,” the foreign ministry continued.
“It will also support the implementation of NATO’s deterrence and defence.”
Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen will be present in Washington during the signing to meet Blinken.
The United States signed a similar pact with Sweden on December 6 that gives Washington access to 17 military bases.
Concerns raised by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led both Finland and Sweden to abandon their long-standing military non-alignment and apply for NATO membership.
Finland joined in April, while Sweden is still waiting for its bid to be ratified by NATO members Hungary and Turkey.
