UK - The warning of Britain’s finance-minister-cum-political-assassin Jeremy Hunt that new tax rises are on the way seems to have been underlined by new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in his first address to the country, warning of “difficult decisions to come”. Speaking to the country from the steps of Downing Street, his new official residence and political office, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak laid out his new government’s intentions minutes after departing Buckingham Palace, where he was appointed by the King during a near-40-minute-long meeting. In a distinct departure from his predecessor Liz Truss, who spoke of growing the economy, Sunak was downbeat in his delivery, speaking of “a profound economic crisis”.

UK - The coup to install a technocratic globalist government in Westminster is now complete as former Goldman Sachs banker Rishi Sunak was invited to form a new government by King Charles III on Tuesday morning, after the parliamentary Conservative Party, alongside financial institutions, and the legacy media moved with astonishing speed to overthrow the short-lived Truss government.

FINLAND - Influential elites are either in denial about the horrifying costs and consequences of Net Zero – witness last Wednesday’s substantial vote against fracking British gas in the House of Commons – or busy scooping up the almost unlimited amounts of money currently on offer for promoting pseudoscience climate scares and investing in impracticable green technologies. Until the lights start to go out and heating fails, they are unlikely to pay much attention to a recent 1,000 page alternative energy investigation undertaken for a Finnish Government agency by Associate Professor Simon Michaux. Referring to the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target, Michaux states there is “simply not enough time, nor resources to do this by the current target”.

USA - The image of barges idling along the Mississippi River could be indicative of future economic woes should the drought conditions in the Midwest continue to worsen, according to experts. The lower-than-usual water levels on one of the most important trade routes in the middle of the continental US is causing vessels such as shipping containers, recreational boaters and even cruise lines to stall in mud and sand that was previously covered in ample river water.

USA - 'Progressive' Democrats have been slammed for penning an open letter to Joe Biden calling on him to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine with Vladimir Putin. Thirty left-wing politicians - among them Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar - wrote to Biden on Monday saying that 'direct talks with Russia' to 'seek a rapid end to the conflict' should be his 'top priority'.

NORTH KOREA - Over the past few months, many Western analysts have been deeply concerned about the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin might deploy a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine. But Putin is not the only autocrat who could resort to weapons of mass destruction. Look no further than North Korea. In the past year, the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, has tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile, a train-mounted ballistic missile, a new surface-to-air defense missile system, a long-range strategic cruise missile, and multiple hypersonic missiles. And there are indications that North Korea is preparing its seventh nuclear test, possibly to showcase a more compact, next-generation tactical nuclear weapon.

UK - Rishi Sunak has vowed to work "day in day out" to tackle the UK's "profound challenges" after he was today named Britain's 57th Prime Minister. Mr Sunak won the support of an overwhelming majority of Conservative MPs, enabling him to claim the keys to No10. On the day of Diwali - the Hindu festival of lights - Mr Sunak learnt he will become Britain's first PM of Indian heritage.

UK - A British man is the first to get microchipped with his bank card. 40-year-old Arnie Szoke paid £350 to get his bank card surgically implanted in his hand by London-based company Walletmor. In Sweden, more than 4,000 people have their bank cards linked to microchip implants. Szoke’s microchipped bank card will have to be replaced after it expires. Walletmor is rolling out a microchip that can be implanted in the hand and will work with a digital wallet for contactless payments. The tech company said the microchip will work with the “Purewrist” app and the implant procedure takes only 4 minutes.

KOREA - North and South Korea exchanged warning shots on Monday, accusing each other of crossing their disputed maritime border amid heightened tensions in the region, according to both nations’ militaries. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said that at around 3:42am local time, a North Korean merchant vessel breached the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea, which serves as the de facto maritime boundary between the two states. This prompted the South Korean military to issue warnings, and after the boat failed to change course, it unleashed two bursts of machine gun fire. In recent weeks, North Korea has carried out a series of weapon tests, and the nation’s nuclear forces have said they successfully completed a test simulating the loading of tactical warheads into a hidden silo. According to state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the latest North Korean test was part of drills meant to ensure that it could “wipe out” potential South Korean and US targets.

USA - Democrats have just dealt a huge blow to Joe Biden by publicly calling for a change of course on the Ukraine invasion and demanding the Democrat president engage in direct negotiations with Russia. The move is a major loss for Biden as Democrats turn against his Ukraine policy just days away from the midterm elections. Republicans have hinted they may change Biden’s policy for him, should they take the House, by warning there will be no more “blank checks” for Ukraine. So losing support from his own party puts Biden in a tight spot. “We should have no illusions about the challenge ahead of us but my colleagues and I are urging the administration to engage in a proactive diplomatic push in an effort to seek a realistic framework for a cease-fire.”

USA - Author and investigative journalist Lee Smith explained the dangerous development inside our national media. According to Lee Smith, and what appears to be quite evident, the American mainstream media is now part of the intelligence community. This was proven time and time again during the Trump years. The purpose of today’s mainstream press is not to inform, but to move the masses in the direction designated by the intelligence community.

UNITED NATIONS - A group of world elites met this week to discuss the implementation of digital currencies run by central banks that will allow the world elites to control your behavior. Using this technology these elites, who believe they are so much more important and clever than you are, will decide what you can eat, say and do. Included in the group were: Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, who’s also the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, IMF, and Bo Li, Deputy Managing Director, and Cecilia Skingsley the BIS Innovation Hub Director. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are private, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be issued and controlled by the central banks themselves. In many ways, it’s the same as banknotes, but it’s likely that every single transaction will be monitored for compliance… This is the Brave New World we were warned about.

JAPAN - Amid fear of what China might do in the coming years, Japan is reaching out to turn a former enemy into an ally while increasing its military spending. On Saturday, World War II foes Australia and Japan signed a security agreement to share intelligence and assist each other. The deal was inked by Prime Ministers Fumio Kishida and Anthony Albanese in the western Australian city of Perth, according to the Voice of America. “This landmark declaration sends a strong signal to the region of our strategic alignment,” Albanese said, according to VOA. Meanwhile, according to Reuters, Japan is rebuilding its military in a way not seen since before World War II to prepare for what some policymakers fear is an inevitable showdown with China. Japanese officials fear any invasion of Taiwan will touch Japanese islands near Taiwan, much as Chinese missiles came within 100 miles of those Japanese-held islands when China was erupting in protest over the visit of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.

USA - Oil prices and President Joe Biden’s continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage. Diesel doesn’t get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you’re paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don’t move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing sectors are crippled.

USA - Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, also known by his initials AMLO, recently announced that US Secretary of State Tony Blinken proposed opening all borders between the US, Mexico, and Canada. President Obrador: “I think that Mr Blinken spoke about consolidating the region of North America. And we agree on that.” The plan would open up our borders permanently to the drug cartels running Mexico today. It is the latest insanity proposed by the Biden regime to permanently destroy the United States.
