Blogsbrace yourself....Australian supermarket food prices have increased by a new peak of nearly 10 per cent over the past 12 months, outpacing annual inflation as the cost of living continues to rise. Australia's weighted inflation rate for May came in at 5.6%, sharply lower than April's figure of 6.8% and lower than the 6.1% expected by economists polled by Reuters. Headline inflation for May came in at 5.8%, lower than April's figure of 6.9%. It was the lowest recorded rate since April 2022. THE LOWER INFLATION RATE WAS DUE TO A FALL IN THE PRICE OF FUEL The latest monthly consumer price indicator shows inflation fell sharply to 5.6 per cent over the 12 months to May, down from 6.8 per cent in April.
preserving exorbitant privileges....Can Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted "coup" reverse the fate of arms in Ukraine? This was the wish of Nato, which hoped for this uprising and awakened its sleeper agents in Russia. The United Kingdom and the United States wanted to finally bring about the partition of the country that they had been unable to complete in 1991 [1]. Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion by Thierry Meyssan
Contrary to the comments of the Western press, Yevgeny Prigozhin never attempted a coup against Vladimir Putin. He wanted to blackmail him in order to preserve the exorbitant privileges he had accumulated since the creation of his private military company. Then he came to his senses and returned to his post.
saving planet dorky from coal-fired pizzas......New York City is known for its pizza, but some city restaurants may have to rethink how they’re cooking up the pies.
european degringolade....Interview by Hocine Neffah L'Expression: In your opinion, is there a hypocritical approach to the West, fueled by the major European media? Jacques-Marie-Bourget: The problem is that, alas, Europe has no face since it has no existence of its own, personality, will, character. Europe is only a simple colony of the United States, quite incapable even of being hypocritical since it is only obedient. It's a continent that asks no questions, like a hound it rushes. It is frightening to see a mosaic of nations committing suicide.
and the oscar for best performance in a remake of laurel and hardy in russia goes toooooo.....What if the Prigozhin “Coup” is Maskirovka? I want to explore that possibility. Earlier today (Saturday on the east coast of the U.S.) I was sketching out a piece with the catchy title, “PRIGOZHIN — PUTSCH OR PLOY?” Well, that swell idea was blown away like the Kakhovka Dam when the narrative about the Prigozhin plan to march on Moscow and personally strangle Russian Defense Minister Shoigu went full-on Nadia Comăneci — i.e., back flip. Prigozhin ordered “his” troops back to their bases, cut a deal with the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, to go into exile and will face no judicial punishment. WHAT????? No bloodshed? No miles of burning tanks? And no Mussolini neck tie for Vladimir Putin? What the hell?!!
another barrel of red herrings......Multinational tax avoiders and the OECD have won a reprieve from the Albanese government which has delayed legislation aimed at shining the light on tax avoidance. Jason Ward explains why the backdown is bad news. The Labor government made an election promise, a budget promise, a legislative promise and held two consultations on landmark legislation to implement global tax transparency for multinationals. Now it has bent to corporate pressure. Landmark legislation for public country by country reporting was set to be implemented as of 1 July. Late last week, it was announced that implementation will be pushed back for at least a year.

THE CARTOON OF COURSE IS WRONG: THE VIRUS WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE VACCINE OR THE MEDICAL CURE AS TO SELL THE CURE FOR GINORMOUS PROFITS.... MEANWHILE IT HAS BEEN WELL-KNOWN THAT VACCINES DO NOT WORK WELL AGAINST CORONA VIRUSES....

no new is good news....If you work near the Joseph Biden administration in Washington, it’s reached the point of “no news is good news.” The country is broke. The Russians are winning in Ukraine, despite all efforts by the West. The EU is on the verge of levying more taxes. The BRICS will grow, and create its own unique currency to oust the dollar. Moreover, sanction measures to limit Russian oil revenues have failed. The United States is swimming in failures because of Joe Biden and George Soros.

when the weirdos are teaching your kids....UK Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has called for British students to be able to decide their own gender pronouns and to “socially transition” with parental consent, promising long-awaited guidance on gender and transition issues is coming soon. The government will be publishing gender-identity consultation guidance before the end of summer term, Keegan pledged, in an op-ed for the Telegraph on Saturday, stating that the material will be age-appropriate while “ensuring [parents’] voices are central to decisions being made about their child in school.” The announcement followed reports that multiple British secondary schools were not only allowing students to self-identify as cats, horses, and even planets, but were also punishing students that did not go along with such delusions.
a diversion by a former convict turned rich restauranteur......US officials believe Wagner PMC’s insurrection in Russia could play into Ukraine’s hands, allowing Kiev to revitalize its much-hyped counteroffensive, which according to Moscow has so far failed to gain any ground, Politico reported on Saturday. Shortly before the private military company leader Evgeny Prigozhin agreed to halt his advance on Moscow and withdraw his troops as part of a deal brokered by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, US officials held several meetings to assess the potential impact of the mutiny, the article says. They reportedly arrived at the conclusion that the insurrection will keep the Kremlin busy, providing Ukraine’s stalled counteroffensive with a window of opportunity. https://www.rt.com/news/578653-us-russia-coup-opportunity/
free europe.....Europe has every reason to support the development of an independent foreign policy that rejects U.S. dominance and militarisation in favour of embracing international cooperation and a more democratic world order, writes Vijay Prashad. It is difficult to make sense of many events these days. France’s behaviour, for instance, is hard to square. On the one hand, French President Emmanuel Macron changed his mind to support Ukraine’s entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
of uninspired conspiracy theories....THE LATEST TUCKER ON TWITTER EPISODE (30 MILLION VIEWS SO FAR) REVEALED SUPPORT FOR KENNEDY JUNIOR AND BLASTED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE NAMELY ANNA MERLAN AND PETER HOTEZ.... SO WHAT'S THE FUSS? ANNA WROTE A BOOK "THE REPUBLIC OF LIES"... Since its founding, America has been fertile ground for conspiracy beliefs. While every generation produces rumor-mongers, today we anoint them with special powers through social media.
a crooked devious deal like all deals made with and by joe biden.....Having struck a sweetheart deal with the Justice Department, Hunter Biden took off to Camp David for a weekend getaway together with his father, triggering a Twitterstorm among US conservative netizens. On Saturday, "Camp David" was trending on Twitter with the GOP and some netizens accusing Joe Biden of spending a staggering 40% of his presidency on vacation despite the world being "in chaos." While the incumbent president has indeed spent more time away from the White House than his three immediate predecessors – Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George Bush – it's not what irritated US conservative users the most. According to them, the Bidens are let off the hook, again.
why we believe in angels and need to give our dog an anti-anxiety bed....Fascinated by the processes of evolution and healing, I have spent my life studying what enables people and human groups to show resilience in the face of adversity, to recover in the event of a hard blow and to maintain their health. It is these thirty years of explorations and experiences that I use to offer here unique training programs, based on salutogenesis, neurosciences and applied anthropology.
