Western mainstream media:

The Russians blew up their own NordStream pipeline

The Kremlin ordered a drone strike on the Kremlin

Russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam to destroy the defences they had spent over half a year building and deny water supplies to Crimea

The BBC does not hesitate: WE KNOW... is equivalent to WHAT WE DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW....

An INCIDENT? Bloody hell! you would not think that a flood of such magnitude with a breech that could not happen "naturally" but had to be done by DAMBUSTERS is a WAR CRIME, A TERRORIST ACT, A SAVAGE BARBARIC ACT.... And who benefits has been the question that no-one in the Western media answers... because as we know:

The Russians blew up their own NordStream pipeline

The Kremlin ordered a drone strike on the Kremlin

THE WESTERN MEDIA IS PUSHING THE BULLSHIT BEYOND THE CREDIBLE, BUT FEAR NOT, THEY HAVE PERFECTLY POLISHED EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THE RUSSIANS BLEW UP THE EFFING DAM... WE KNOW... 

ABC: On the morning the Nova Kakhovka dam was blown up in southern Ukraine, Hanna Zarudnia woke to both shelling and flooding. 

"I felt very loud shelling during the night," she told the ABC.

 "I spent the last three nights in the basement.

"Antonivka [on the outskirts of Kherson] was heavily bombed that night. In the morning, I came out and saw that the neighbours had no roofs."

Professional golfers have expressed their anger at the PGA and DP World Tour announcing a merger with LIV Golf.

When an international poetic event like the "Poetry Market" decides to offer the honorary presidency of its fortieth edition, dedicated to Caribbean poetry, to someone who is precisely from the West Indies (as we used to say.. .), whose work in this field of creation has achieved by its quality, its beauty, its influence and its richness an international recognition which equals it to that of an Aimé Césaire, to take only one point of comparison, we can only applaud with both hands and congratulate ourselves on a wise and judicious choice that does honor to those who expressed it.

Last week, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned the country’s National Security Commission in stark terms of the grave security concerns facing the nation.

According to Xi, Beijing needs to stay “keenly aware” of the challenges facing national security and correctly grasp major related issues. He urged officials to be ready for “worst-case and most extreme scenarios” – words that a lot of commentators have described as “pessimistic” in regard to the development of relations between China and the United States.

The attack on the Novaya Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in Russia’s Kherson Region qualifies as a war crime, European Council President Charles Michel has claimed. He insisted that Russia was responsible for the incident. 

“Shocked by the unprecedented attack of the Nova Kakhovka dam,” Michel wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “The destruction of civilian infrastructure clearly qualifies as a war crime – we will hold Russia and its proxies accountable.” 

Michel said he would raise the issue at the June meeting of the European Council and would propose more assistance to the flooded areas. 

European Union officials are having a meltdown, all because Twitter CEO Elon Musk has withdrawn the platform from a “voluntary” EU code of conduct for tech firms to combat so-called “disinformation.” And they have yet to cite a single actual example of it.

Ukraine is “very well prepared” for its long-anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told CNN on Monday. However, Ukrainian forces suffered heavy losses in a multi-pronged attack earlier in the day, and Milley cautioned that it’s “too early to tell” if the offensive will achieve its goals.

Citing the “training, ammunition, advice, intelligence, etc” provided to Kiev by its Western backers, Milley claimed that Ukraine is “very well prepared” to retake territory from Russian forces.

We are, as we’ve been for more than a century, on the cusp of another one of these “sudden changes”. Or should I say improvements… We’ve seen the rise of aviation, of computing and of the pseudo-democratisation of power, since the demises of kings as drivers of people.

The 20th century era of oil/gas/coal is slowly being replaced by other resources — not without a fight. Computing chips are being improved, and we’re entering the AI century. Money, though, is still the true ruler of human enterprises — including religious beliefs. The philosophy of being human as a question has been replaced by having things to define whom we are.

Some massive challenges are facing humanity, not the least being the pace of incoming changes.

New evidence has emerged in the case of David Morales, the owner of the Spanish security company UC Global, who spied on Julian Assange during his time at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, reports media.

The evidence, discovered on Morales' MacBook, reveals that he kept files related to his work for the CIA on his laptop, marked with the initials of the US intelligence agency. These files, which were previously unknown to investigators, strengthen the allegations that Morales spied on Assange's meetings with his lawyers and shared the information with the CIA.

MAYOR VARTIAINEN:  Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you all to the beautiful capital of Finland, Helsinki, and the Helsinki City Hall.  Helsinki has a great honor to host this special event today.  We are humbled and in great appreciation to have the U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken here in Helsinki.

Helsinki is a city where the harmonious blend of history, innovation, freedom, and diplomacy converges.  Our capital is and has been an arena for numerous high-level meetings and political events, and we are proud to provide the platform for this historical moment, now for the first time as the proud capital of a new NATO Ally.

Nikki Haley has repeatedly used stern rhetoric with respect to Russia, once claiming that Moscow will never be Washington’s friend.

Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley’s campaign has insisted she made a slip of the tongue when urging the US in an interview to “align” with Russia.

“This is completely ridiculous, she obviously misspoke. No one has been tougher on Russia than Nikki Haley,” spokesman Ken Farnaso told a US news network on Saturday.

When asked to comment on the matter, Haley herself called Russia an “enemy”, adding, “I fought them at the UN, and I will continue to fight them; they want to destroy us and our allies and they are not to be trusted.”

Cambridge University is teaching students that the Anglo-Saxons never existed as a distinct ethnic group, in an effort to “dismantle the… myths” of English nationalism, the Telegraph reported on Saturday. Liberal academics have long decried the term for its association with “whiteness.”

Ukraine is ready to launch its long-awaited offensive, President Vladimir Zelensky told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in an interview published on Saturday. He did not reveal the exact date, but said Kiev can no longer “wait for months.” 

The operation is likely to inflict heavy losses on Ukrainian troops, and might not go exactly as planned, Zelensky admitted, adding that Russia's air superiority would inevitably mean Kiev's forces will be exposed to enemy fire.

“I don’t know how long it will take,” Zelensky said, commenting on the operation’s potential timeframe. He added that “it can go a variety of ways, completely different.”
