Roald Dahl is internationally known for penning children's classics such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox and many others. however, it looks like the new editions of his works have been altered.

Critics have lashed out at changes to Roald Dahl's children's books by the British publisher, accusing it of distorting the content of the author’s works.

Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen (German: [ˈʊʁzula ˈɡeːɐ̯tʁuːt fɔn deːɐ̯ ˈlaɪən]; née Albrecht, born 8 October 1958) is a German politician who has been serving as the president of the European Commission since 2019.

When I awoke Sunday morning to the news that YouTube had censored a long interview Seymour Hersh did with Democracy Now! on the grounds that it did not meet the Google subsidiary’s “community standards” and was, moreover, “offensive,” my mind went in many directions.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi asked the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, why he was so concerned with Beijing potentially giving weapons to Russia when Brussels is funnelling arms to Ukraine, Borrell told reporters.

Wang and Borrell met at the Munich Security Conference last week, after which the latter warned on Monday that any Chinese assistance to the Russian military would be considered a “red line” by the EU.

Speaking to reporters at a NATO meeting on Tuesday, Borrell said that he and Wang had a “frank conversation” in Munich.

During this conversation, Wang made it clear that “China doesn’t provide arms to countries at war,”and had no plans of providing arms to Russia. This, Wang said, “is the principle of China’s foreign policy,” according to Borrell’s recollection.

With Russia now slowly escalating its ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine on the eve of its first anniversary, I find myself drawn once again to the complex but stark phenomenon of extreme Jewish corruption in the latter nation.

One would think that the United States military staging an unprovoked “plausibly deniable” covert attack on a nation with which it is not at war would be at least considered newsworthy.

That the attack did grave damage to a country with which the US is closely allied would seem to make the aggression even more unthinkable. And, perhaps worst of all, that the attack was set up by the nation’s chief executive using a political bypass that avoided congressional oversight and adherence to the war powers act which might be most reprehensible of all as it cuts to the heart of the nation’s constitutional balance of powers.

One did not have to be gay to be gay

Nor mince to join the Yankee army yesterday

One didn't have to be homo to see bent rainbows

One did not have to have pride to have pride

As we had been tenderised 

Not genderised

by our traditional personal array of born appendages, 

Romantically used for sexo-pleasure and proto-reproduction

Though we might need to be gay to be in charge of the arts

Because we, artists of yesteryears, are now rejected old farts

By the rainbow crowd that sees us with zero-minimum advantages

One did not have to sodomise the world to exist

Except bugger our sworn enemies on the long list

Those of the American empire who give us the shits

One didn't have to be a woman to play with a woman’s tush

Nor be from Lesbos to play with her lovely tits

WE HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED THE SOLID AND SERIOUS PRESS CONFERENCES BY MARIA ZAKHAROVA OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT WHICH MAKE THE AMERICAN BRIEFS LOOK LIKE GRUNTING NEANDERTHAL UNDERPANTIES...

THIS IS POINTED OUT IN THE MACRON-PUTIN SPAT IN WHICH PUTIN ISN'T INVOLVED, WHILE MACRON TRIES TO MAKE HIMSELF RELEVANT TO A WORLD THAT IS IGNORING HIM BECAUSE THEY THINK THE FRENCH ARE A WEIRD MOB AND FULL OF CHIPS.

Veteran CNN anchor Don Lemon has been temporarily taken off-air following his controversial jibe against US presidential candidate Nikki Haley, several US media outlets reported on Sunday, citing sources. 

The scandal broke out on Thursday when Lemon declared that the 51-year-old Republican, who’d just announced she is running for US president in 2024, “isn’t in her prime”based on her age.

“A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s,” he said, prompting raised eyebrows from his two female co-anchors.

The remark came in response to Haley’s earlier call to introduce mandatory competency tests for politicians older than 75, a not-so-veiled jab at 80-year-old President Joe Biden and at 76-year-old former President Donald Trump, who is also set to run again in 2024.

IN THE IMAGE ABOVE, GUS COMBINED A SCENE FROM THE MOVIE "1984", THE FACE OF THE BULLSHITTER IN CHIEF AND OF COURSE THE LONDON BUILDING (MINISTRY OF INFORMATION DURING WW2) THAT INSPIRED GEORGE ORWELL TO WRITE HIS FAMOUS NOVEL....

ALL THIS IN RELATION TO A NEW "MINISTRY" CREATED IN THE USA, WHERE "1984" IS A MODEL FOR "DEMOCRATIC" VISION. ALTHOUGH BIDEN IS CREDITED WITH THIS "BIG BROTHER" INVENTION, BEING SENILE ALL HE DOES IS SIGN OFF ON DECREES HIS NASTY GENERAL STAFF OF SYCOPHANTS WORKING FOR THE PENTAGON (THE REAL GOVERNMENT IN THE USA) PUT IN FRONT OF HIM. ALL HE HAS TO DO IS SMILE AND ACT AS IF HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING — SOMETHING HE'S BEEN DOING ALL HIS MISERABLE LIFE OF FAKERY.

In his State of the Union address earlier this month, US President Joe Biden referenced Europe several times, and the underlying message was always the same: Captain America has swooped in to save his Western allies from a horrible fate. 

The August 23, 2021 FDA approval of Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine was a cause for celebration. Marked as a turning point in the battle against COVID19, the announcement was highly publicized by the Biden Administration with the clear intention to extinguish “vaccine hesitancy” and boost uptake.

It was celebrated as a cause for national relief, and many Americans arrived at their local pharmacies under the impression, via government and pharmaceutical propaganda, that they were receiving an FDA-approved COVID vaccine. Yet that legally distinct product, as we know it, never existed. And now we know, via Pfizer, that it will never exist.

Idolatry is the primal sin from which all other sins derive. Idols tempt us to become God. They  demand the sacrifice of others in the mad quest for wealth, fame or power. But the idol always ends by requiring self-sacrifice, leaving us to perish on the blood-soaked altars we erected for others. 

For empires are not murdered, they commit suicide at the feet of the idols that entrance them.

THE "LEADERS" OF AMERICA — A COUNTRY OF POOR DUMB SODS WHO CAN'T SEE BEYOND COWBOYS AND INDIANS — HAVE CREATE A SITUATION — AS THEY ALWAYS DO — WHERE SOMEONE HAS TO RESPOND TO THE AMERICAN HUBRIS AND THEN GET THE BLAME FOR THE SHIT. IT’S NOT A NEW TACTIC BUT IT’S GETTING TIRESOME... 

PEOPLE GET KILLED, ENEMIES ARE FOMENTED AND THE PORKIES FLY HIGH IN THE SKY ABOVE WASHINGTON LIKE AN ARMY OF “CHINESE” BALLOONS ABOVE MONTANA.

AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TAKEN FOR FOOLS BY THEIR GOVERNMENT WHICH, CONTRARILY TO POPULAR BELIEF, IS NOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE (THE ONE THEY VOTED FOR) BUT RESIDES INSIDE THE PENTAGON BOWELS (THE REAL GOVERNMENT THE POPULACE NEVER VOTES FOR).

What are the problems that the strategy seeks to address? What are the challenges and opportunities with which the strategy must contend? This section describes the strategic context for a new global strategy for China.

The post-World War II, rules-based international system, led by likeminded allies and partners, has produced unprecedented levels of peace, prosperity, and freedom, but it is coming under increasing strain. A foremost challenge to the system is the return of great-power competition with revisionist, autocratic states—especially China.
