Federal Judge Voided Mask Mandate on Planes
April 19th, 2022Via: CBS:
The Transportation Security Administration won’t enforce the national mask mandate on planes and public transit for now after a federal judge voided it on Monday, according to an administration official.
U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa voided the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s requirement covering airplanes and other public transit, saying the mandate exceeded the authority of U.S. health officials.
That means the CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time, and the TSA won’t enforce the requirement while federal agencies are reviewing the judge’s decision, the administration official said. The CDC still encourages masking on public transit.
Chinese Lockdowns Expand, Raising More Questions About Beijing’s Motives For Shutting Down
April 18th, 2022Via: Quoth the Raven’s Fringe Finance:
Growing lockdowns in China have me believing more and more that the country isn’t exactly crestfallen about the supply chain crisis it is creating for the rest of the world.
Days ago, I wrote about suspicions I had about China’s latest round of Covid lockdowns. In that piece, I drew the conclusion that the country’s “Covid Zero” plan is irrational and egregious, and that China’s lockdowns may have to do with something more than Covid.
The three scenarios I floated for the potential reason China was “overshooting the mark” with its draconian lockdowns were:
The CCP may be trying to usurp more power
There may be something about Covid that China knows that the rest of the world still doesn’t know
China is looking for an excuse to slow its production to put pressure on the Western world at a time when it is trying to separate further, economically, from the West
Today, I’m leaning toward reason number three. That’s because as of this past weekend, China is now expanding its lockdowns further across the country. Oh, and did I mentioned that China’s top oil and gas producer has also all of a sudden decided it is going to cease doing business with Britain, Canada and the United States?
“Very Unusual” Rise In Cases Of Severe Liver Damage Seen In Children Across UK, US, and Europe
April 18th, 2022Maybe they can push through some more experimental gene therapies to help with this…
Via: IFLScience:
An unusual rise in liver damage cases in children has been seen in the UK, US and Europe, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to closely monitor the situation.
On April 5, the WHO was informed of 10 cases of severe acute hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) in children under the age of 10 in Scotland. Three days later, it had received reports of 74 cases across the UK. Usually in Scotland, there are around 7-8 cases in a year in patients without underlying conditions. Similar cases have been reported in Alabama, with a few cases also being reported in Ireland and Spain.
“Mild hepatitis is very common in children following a range of viral infections, but what is being seen at the moment is quite different,” Prof Graham Cooke, NIHR Research Professor of Infectious Diseases, Imperial College London, said in a statement. “Children are experiencing more severe inflammation, in a few cases leading the liver to fail and require transplantation.”
…
The cause of the surge in cases is, as yet, not known. Hepatitis viruses A, B, C, E, and D have been ruled out by laboratory testing, while SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and/or adenoviruses have been detected in several cases, with the WHO noting that there has been an increase in adenovirus activity in the UK. Experts are split as to the cause of the disease, without enough data to go on as yet, though a virus of some description seems likely.
British SAS Soldiers Are Training Troops on Ukrainian Territory
April 18th, 2022Via: Antiwar:
Ukrainian commanders told The Times that soldiers from Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) are training Ukrainian troops in Kyiv on how to use anti-tank weapons provided by London.
According to the accounts of the commanders, the British troops arrived in Kyiv about two weeks ago to begin the training on Next Generation Light Anti-Tank Weapons, known as NLAWs. The UK started sending NLAWs to Ukraine shortly after Russia invaded on February 24.
The revelation of the SAS training mission is the first report of a NATO member having a military presence in Ukraine since Russia invaded, and it could risk provoking Moscow. In a diplomatic letter to the US last week, Russia warned NATO to stop arming Ukraine, and Russian officials have said US and NATO vehicles transporting weapons inside the country would be considered “legitimate military targets.”

Union Pacific Is Halting Delivery of Fertilizer Shipments [???]
April 17th, 2022Via: Natural News:
According to an April 14th announcement from CF Industries, Union Pacific is halting the delivery of fertilizer shipments right in the middle of peak planting season for farmers. CF Industries warns that, “railroad-mandated shipping reductions [will] result in nitrogen fertilizer shipment delays during the spring application season and that it [will] be unable to accept new rail sales involving Union Pacific for the foreseeable future.”
Even more alarmingly, CF Industries warns that, “it is one of only 30 companies to face these restrictions.”
This means that Union Pacific is essentially dropping fertilizer shipments and grain shipments all across America. Put another way, America’s food infrastructure is being deliberately shut down.

Was Russian Missile Cruiser Carrying Nuclear Weapons When It Sank?
April 15th, 2022Via: Daily Mail:
Russia’s Black Sea flagship which sank yesterday after an explosion on board may have been carrying nuclear warheads, analysts and experts have warned today, as a Russian politician said more than 400 sailors could have gone down with the ship.
The Moskva, a Soviet-era guided missile cruiser, sank near the port of Sevastopol on Thursday after Ukraine said it hit the ship with two cruise missiles. Today, Mykhailo Samus, director of a Lviv-based military think-tank; Andriy Klymenko, editor of Black Sea News; and Ukrainian newspaper Defence Express all warned that the Moskva could have been carrying two nuclear warheads designed to be fitted to its P-1000 ‘carrier killer’ missiles.
If true, the loss of the warheads into the Black Sea could spark a ‘Broken Arrow’ incident – American military slang for potentially lethal accidents involving nuclear weapons.
‘On board the Moskva could be nuclear warheads – two units,’ Samus said, while Klymenko called on other Black Sea nations – Turkey, Romania, Georgia, and Bulgaria – to insist on an explanation. ‘Where are these warheads? Where were they when the ammunition exploded,’ he asked.

U.S. Department of Defense Awarded a Contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine 3 Months Before Covid Was Known to Even Exist
April 14th, 2022Via: The Exposé:
The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19.
So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?
The shocking findings however, do not end there. The contract awarded in November 2019 for ‘COVID-19 Research’ was not only instructed to take place in Ukraine, it was in fact part of a much larger contract for a ‘Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine’.
