Wheat Prices Soar As Russia Considers Ships Heading To Ukraine As “Carriers Of Military Cargo”
July 19th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
Wheat futures jumped Wednesday morning after Russia’s defense ministry released a memo on Telegram indicating all vessels sailing to Ukraine ports in the waters of the Black Sea will be “regarded as potential carriers of military cargo” beginning on Thursday.
“In connection with the cessation of the functioning of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the ?losing of the maritime humanitarian corridor, from 00.00 Moscow time on 20 July 2023, all vessels sailing in the waters of the Black Sea to Ukrainian ports will be regarded as potential carriers of military cargo,” the defense ministry said.
The ministry continued:
Accordingly, the countries of such vessels will be considered to be involved in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the Kiev regime.
In addition, a number of sea areas in the north-western and south-eastern parts of the international waters of the Black Sea have been declared temporarily dangerous for navigation. Corresponding information warnings on the withdrawal of safety guarantees to mariners have been issued in accordance with the established procedure.
Confidential Biden DOD Memo Reveals “Transgender” Service Members Can Skip Deployments and Receive Indefinite Physical Fitness/Standards Waivers
July 19th, 2023Is this real?
Via: The Dossier:
Here’s some of the “highlights” found within the document:
Taxpayer funded “care” for transgender service members includes:
speech/voice therapy
cross-sex hormones,
laser hair removal,
voice feminization surgery,
facialcontouring,
body contouring,
breast/chest surgery (“upper surgery”)
genital mutilation surgery (“lower surgery”).
Psychological counseling
Service members who identify as transgender may receive a waiver for grooming and uniform standards.
Service members who identify as transgender may receive an indefinite waiver for physical fitness standards. This waiver often becomes a de facto permanent situation, and the transgender identifying service member just has to renew the exemption request every six months.
Service members who identify as transgender will be considered “non-deployable” for up to 300 days while taking hormones for their “transition” period. Again, given that these hormones are often required for life, this may render the transgender identifying service member as permanently unable to deploy.
U.S. Finally Cuts Off Funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology
July 19th, 2023Via: Washington Times:
The Biden administration has formally barred U.S. funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and signaled it would cut off the lab permanently.
The Department of Health and Human Services has determined the lab is “not compliant with federal regulations and is not presently responsible,” according to a Monday memo first obtained by Bloomberg News.
The Wuhan lab, which hasn’t received U.S. funding since mid-2020, is at the heart of probes into whether the pandemic-causing coronavirus slipped into humans from nature or as the result of a lab leak. Researchers at the lab studied bat coronaviruses.
Robert Salas Has Not Been Asked to Appear Before House Oversight Committee Hearing on UFOs

I’d recommend watching the entire presentation, but if you want to skip right to the Robert Salas incident, it starts at 1:27:45.
And now…
?#ufo #uap #ufotwiter #UFOtwitter #UAPtwitter HELP! I know many of you are ardent supporters of myself, my story, and the subject of the UAP-NUKES connection. As of this time, I have not been contacted to appear for the July 26 House Oversight Committee Hearing on the UAP.

At Least a Quarter of Medical Randomized Controlled Trials Are Faked or Flawed
July 18th, 2023Via: Nature:
For years, a number of scientists, physicians and data sleuths have argued that fake or unreliable trials are frighteningly widespread. They’ve scoured RCTs in various medical fields, such as women’s health, pain research, anaesthesiology, bone health and COVID-19, and have found dozens or hundreds of trials with seemingly statistically impossible data. Some, on the basis of their personal experiences, say that one-quarter of trials being untrustworthy might be an underestimate. “If you search for all randomized trials on a topic, about a third of the trials will be fabricated,” asserts Ian Roberts, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
The issue is, in part, a subset of the notorious paper-mill problem: over the past decade, journals in many fields have published tens of thousands of suspected fake papers, some of which are thought to have been produced by third-party firms, termed paper mills.
But faked or unreliable RCTs are a particularly dangerous threat. They not only are about medical interventions, but also can be laundered into respectability by being included in meta-analyses and systematic reviews, which thoroughly comb the literature to assess evidence for clinical treatments. Medical guidelines often cite such assessments, and physicians look to them when deciding how to treat patients.
“This AI Watches Millions Of Cars Daily And Tells Cops If You’re Driving Like A Criminal”

Via: Forbes:
Artificial intelligence is helping American cops look for “suspicious” patterns of movement, digging through license plate databases with billions of records.
…
“You’ve seen the systems totally metastasize to the point that the capabilities of a local police department would really shock most people.”
…
“The scale of this kind of surveillance is just incredibly massive,” Brett Max Kaufman, senior staff attorney at the ACLU, told Forbes. Pointing to both Rekor and Flock, a rival that runs a similar pan-American surveillance network of license plate readers, he described warrantless monitoring of citizens en masse like this as “quite horrifying.”
Brain Swelling and Brain Bleeding: “Lilly Drug Slows Alzheimer’s by 60% for Mildly Impaired Patients in Trial”
July 17th, 2023Via: Reuters:
Lilly’s study showed that brain swelling, a known side effect of amyloid-clearing antibodies, occurred in more than 40% of patients with a genetic predisposition to develop Alzheimer’s.
The company had previously reported that 24% of the overall donanemab treatment group had brain swelling. Brain bleeding occurred in 31% of the donanemab group and about 14% of the placebo group.
The deaths of three trial patients were linked to the treatment, researchers reported.

US, NATO Weapons Stockpile ‘Dangerously Low’: USAF General
July 17th, 2023Mmm hmm. Let me guess: More trillions required?
Via: Breaking Defense:
Amid a high tempo of arms transfers to Ukraine, the stockpile of US weapons and those of allies are getting “dangerously low,” the commander of US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) said today. And worse, he warned, no “short term” fixes are on the horizon.
Speaking on a panel with the air chiefs of the United Kingdom and Sweden during the Chief of the Air Staff’s Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference in London, USAFE Commander Gen. James Hecker, who also leads US air forces in Africa, urged fellow North Atlantic Treaty Organization members to take a hard look at the status of their weapon stockpiles.
“Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023”: Non-Human Intelligence
July 16th, 2023I made an absurdly large amount of green tea and started going through Schumer’s, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023.” (Chucky, it’s UFO, not UAP. It’s never going to be UAP. Got it? Good.)
I’m having a great time reading this. It’s hard to believe this legislation exists at all. After over four decades of looking at this topic, I never thought I’d see anything like this coming out of the government. Even if it’s all just another scam, this is worth going over for entertainment value alone.
Check out some of these terms. My word processor indicates that the phrase, “Non-human intelligence” occurs 14 times, “Technologies of unknown origin,” occurs 15 times and, “Legacy program,” occurs five times.
Sadly, from long experience, I know that John Greenwald is probably right:
There is ample evidence of a massive cover-up that has lasted more than a half century when it comes to UFOs/UAP, and it has only gotten worse these past few years; but now Congress aims to get the government to release everything?

But I love it anyway!
Via: U.S. Congress:
All Federal Government records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena should be preserved and centralized for historical and Federal Government purposes.
All Federal Government records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history of the Federal Government’s knowledge and involvement surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.
…
Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation of “transclassified foreign nuclear information”, which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.
…
Close observer.–The term “close observer” means anyone who has come into close proximity to unidentified anomalous phenomena or non-human intelligence.
…
Controlling authority.–The term “controlling authority” means any Federal, State, or local government department, office, agency, committee, commission, commercial company, academic institution, or private sector entity in physical possession of technologies of unknown origin or biological evidence of non-human intelligence.
…
Legacy program.–The term “legacy program” means all Federal, State, and local government, commercial industry, academic, and private sector endeavors to collect, exploit, or reverse engineer technologies of unknown origin or examine biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence that pre-dates the date of the enactment of this Act.
…
Non-human intelligence.–The term “non-human intelligence” means any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform regardless of nature or ultimate origin that may be presumed responsible for unidentified anomalous phenomena or of which the Federal Government has become aware.
…
Technologies of unknown origin.–The term “technologies of unknown origin” means any materials or meta-materials, ejecta, crash debris, mechanisms, machinery, equipment, assemblies or sub-assemblies, engineering models or processes, damaged or intact aerospace vehicles, and damaged or intact ocean-surface and undersea craft associated with unidentified anomalous phenomena or incorporating science and technology that lacks prosaic attribution or known means of human manufacture.
…
Inclusions.–The term “unidentified anomalous phenomena” includes what were previously described as– (i) flying discs; (ii) flying saucers; (iii) unidentified aerial phenomena; (iv) unidentified flying objects (UFOs); and (v) unidentified submerged objects (USOs).
…
Disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena records or particular information in unidentified anomalous phenomena records to the public may be postponed subject to the limitations of this title if there is clear and convincing evidence that–
(1) the threat to the military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States posed by the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous phenomena record is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure, and such public disclosure would reveal–
(A) an intelligence agent whose identity currently requires protection; (B) an intelligence source or method which is currently utilized, or reasonably expected to be utilized, by the Federal Government and which has not been officially disclosed, the disclosure of which would interfere with the conduct of intelligence activities; or (C) any other matter currently relating to the military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States, the disclosure of which would demonstrably and substantially impair the national security of the United States;
…
Exercise of Eminent Domain.–The Federal Government shall exercise eminent domain over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities in the interests of the public good.
