USA - “In journalism, curiosity is the greatest crime. Yesterday, for example, a former Air Force officer who worked for military intelligence came forward as a whistle blower to reveal that the US government has physical evidence of crashed non-human made aircraft and the bodies of the pilots who flew those aircraft. The Pentagon has spent decades studying these other-worldly remains to build more technologically advanced weapons systems. OK … that’s what the former military officer revealed, and it was clear that he was telling the truth. In other words, UFOs are actually real and apparently so is extraterrestrial life. Now we know.”

USA - There are several anecdotes in UFO literature, dating back as far as the 1950s, which describe incidents in which reporters were told amazing stories of UFOs by government officials. Whenever the reporter followed standard journalistic procedures, he would ask for corroboration — proof, if you will. The tipster would then promise that proof would be presented the next day but would also say, this is your chance to get the scoop, so publish it now. Hurry.

SWITZERLAND - A top official with the World Economic Forum (WEF) has called for religious scripture to be “rewritten” by artificial intelligence (AI) to create a globalized “new Bible.” Yuval Noah Harari, the senior advisor to the WEF and its chairman Klaus Schwab, argues that using AI to replace scriptures will create unified “religions that are actually correct.” Harari, an influential author and professor, made the call while giving a talk on the “future of humanity.” According to Harari, the power of AI can be harnessed and used to reshape spirituality into the WEF’s globalist vision of “equity” and inclusivism. Speaking with journalist Pedro Pinto in Lisbon, Portugal, Harari told the elitist audience: “It’s the first technology ever that can create new ideas."

PANAMA - Panama Canal is going dry as a severe drought has caused water levels in the lake that feeds the locks in the Panama Canal to drop far below normal. Gatun Lake is the lake that feeds the locks in the Panama Canal with the fresh water needed to raise vessels as they pass from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic. But a severe drought has caused water levels in the lake to drop far below normal, resulting in weight limits and rising surcharges for vessels traversing the canal.

UKRAINE - The destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnieper River could endanger the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, China’s ambassador to the UN, Zhang Jun, told the Security Council on Tuesday. Beijing has urged Ukraine and Russia to ensure this does not happen. “We express our great concern over the destruction of the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station,” Zhang told a special session of the council.

ITALY - A 'supervolcano' in a densely populated part of Italy could be on the verge of its first eruption since 1538, researchers have warned. The Campi Flegrei volcano near Naples, southern Italy, has become weaker and more prone to rupturing, making an eruption more likely, the experts say. Located about nine miles (14.5 km) to the west of Naples, it is one of the few active supervolcanoes in the world. Campi Flegrei's large, eight-mile-wide caldera – its basin-like depression resulting from prior explosion – is located under the western outskirts of the city of Naples. About a third of the caldera is partially submerged beneath the Bay of Pozzuoli, but the remaining two-thirds is land that's home to more than 360,000 people. Campi Flegrei (or 'burning fields') is defined as a supervolcano because it has the potential to produce a magnitude eight eruption, capable of discharging more than 200 cubic miles of material.

WALES - Opponents have lost a legal challenge against teaching children about gender identity and sex in schools in Wales. The Court of Appeal has refused a group permission to appeal a High Court judgement last year which dismissed their claims about the Relationships and Sexuality Education Code and guidance on all grounds. Primary and secondary schools in Wales launched the new RSE lessons in September. With regards to how the code and guidance approaches issues relating to different sexualities, gender identification and respectful treatment of LGBTQ+ people, Lord Justice Males added: "It is inconceivable that such teaching could be contrary to the common law or the Human Rights Act. On the contrary, diversity and inclusion (including as to the LGBT+ community) are fundamental values of British (including Welsh) society."

UK - The publisher of a new children's book featuring a man in bondage gear and a woman with trans 'top surgery' scars has branded parents voicing objection as 'homophobes'. Grandad's Pride' is the creation of Waterstones children's book winning author and illustrator Harry Woodgate - who uses they/them pronouns - and is published by Andersen Press, who told MailOnline they stand by the product. The children's tome promises 'to celebrate the power of community and the importance of LGBTQIA+ history' and is highly regarded in some circles - even winning the Waterstones' coveted children's book prize.

UK - Woke teachers have been accused of breaking the law by asking children to campaign for Black Lives Matter. Pupils as young as 12 have been told by teachers at one school to write to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in support of the movement. Teachers are also teaching terms such as 'white privilege' and encouraging Year 8 children to 'do better' to support black people. Class material used by Cranbrook Education Campus in Exeter asks children to 'write an open letter to our current Prime Minister campaigning for change'. It suggests they 'consider' words such as 'white privilege' and 'ally' to help them.

USA - Have you grown exhausted by the latest marketing campaign or social media post made by a company you once thought was ideologically neutral? Honestly, I didn’t know that a KitchenAid stand mixer could even come with a politically-charged purpose, but it’s becoming harder and harder to find any brand that doesn’t place progressive activism or ideological agendas ahead of their customers. Why might this be happening? Well, at risk of sounding like I’m making claims that there’s a globalist, “woke” cabal, I’m indeed calling out the fact that there’s a globalist woke cabal behind the recent surge of companies producing marketing and advertising for the latest progressive cause, from race ideology to LGBTQ+ ideology to environmentalism and more.

UK - Who invented sex education? Since we now have so much of it that we can barely escape it, it seems a reasonable question. This is even more important now that we know it does not work. Last week’s appalling figures for syphilis and gonorrhoea cases – pretty much the worst in modern times – showed beyond doubt that Sex Ed has not prevented the spread of sexual diseases. The same is true of the huge abortion figures (do you remember when they said legalising that would make it ‘safe, legal and rare’? Not exactly). Without the ever-increasing use of the ‘morning after pill’, which conceals rather than solves the problem, it would be even worse. Meanwhile, family life, as we knew it only a short time ago, is vanishing from large parts of the British landscape.

UKRAINE - The blowing of the dam at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (KHPP) by the Russian state is, quite simply, an act of terror by this terrorist state. With his army failing, his air force stuck in its hangars, it would appear Putin is prepared to do almost anything to cling on to the Russian occupied areas of Ukraine and his throne in the Kremlin. This is another war crime to add to the growing list, a list that includes the unlawful deportation of children – something that led to the International Criminal Court to issue a warrant for his arrest.

GERMANY - Of four major global powers, Germany remained the top-rated one for the sixth consecutive year in 2022. Across 137 countries, median approval of German leadership stood at 46% last year. Even though this is down from a 50% rating in 2021, it remains higher than approval of the US (41%) and well clear of ratings for China (28%) and Russia (21%).

GERMANY - The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is riding high in the polls to the alarm of mainstream parties and is on track to win three state votes in the east of the country with calls to stop migration and curb what it sees as a costly green agenda.

• Far-right AfD support now around record of 17-19%.
• Migration debate moves up the mainstream agenda.
• AfD could win three east German states in 2024.
• Rise of AfD vote complicates coalition building.
• Government says AfD helped by crises that are easing.

SWEDEN - A baby boy carried in a uterus implanted into his mother by a robot was born in a world first. The youngster, who has not been named, weighed six pounds and 13 ounces when he was born via planned C-section in Sweden last month. Both the child and his 35-year-old mother are doing well. The pregnancy was made possible when a family member agreed to donate their uterus to the mother, who then had a fertilized egg implanted into it via IVF. The case marks the first time robots have been used for the procedure. It will give hope to the tens of thousands of American women who don't have a uterus — which can be due to cancer or a medical condition — or have one unable to carry infants.
