USA - There are many journalists and scientists today who are writing about the fraudulent nature of global warming dogma, citing verified scientific studies. Nevertheless, the warmist hysteria continues to grow, exhibiting symptoms of cult-like behavior. The far-left ThinkProgress reports that scientists have finally proven that the theory of man-made Global Warming is a total hoax. Of course, no one will admit it, but that is exactly what has happened. A new scientific study has revealed the following:

USA - Amazon is listening to customers through Alexa devices - with employees recording thousands of clips including a woman singing in the shower and a sex assault, it emerged last night. Full-time workers and contractors at the online retail giant reportedly sift through as many as 1,000 recordings per shift - and even share "amusing" clips between themselves.

UK - Britain has been warned by the EU it MUST hold European Parliamentary elections next month in order to earn an Article 50 extension - or face being unceremoniously booted out of the bloc immediately, without a deal. Meanwhile a Tory MP begged Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel to "put us out our misery" by blocking another Article 50 extension to allow the UK to leave the EU without a deal on Friday.

ISRAEL - Right-wing bloc’s success gives PM edge in forming new government despite Likud tying in seats with Gantz’s Blue and White; New Right and Zehut fail to cross threshold. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was poised to clinch a clear electoral victory Wednesday morning, with some 97 percent of votes showing his Likud party tied with Blue and White, but the right-wing bloc with a clear lead and Netanyahu possessing a clear path to forming a governing coalition.

GERMANY - Germany plans on putting its own issues on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council during its month-long presidency, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Monday. Germany, currently a non-permanent Security Council member, is taking over the chair in April as part of a "dual presidency" with permanent member France. Besides helping the UN body fulfill its role in crisis and conflict management, Germany wants to use its position to "strengthen long-term conflict prevention," Maas told reporters. Monday night's debate in the UN Security Council focused on humanitarian workers who are being targeted or hindered in conflict zones.

GERMANY - Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has said the council must include more permanent members to reflect today's world order. He also said Germany will not "shun its responsibility" for global conflict resolution. Maas stressed that Germany's global "responsibility is growing" and that his country is prepared to take on a greater role in tackling global conflicts. "We won't be able to shun big decisions anymore," he said, especially regarding conflicts in the Middle East, including those in Syria and Yemen.

GERMANY - Chamber of Industry and Commerce Head Eric Schweitzer notes that some 750,000 jobs in Germany depend directly on exports to the UK. That would have knock-on effects elsewhere at an awkward time: France’s manufacturing sector has been shrinking since the start of the year, and Italy’s since October.

USA - Less than a month after a “bomb cyclone” caused a “1,000 year flood” in the middle portion of the country, another “bomb cyclone” of similar strength is going to bring even more flooding to the High Plains and Upper Midwest.  According to meteorologists, it is being projected that this new “bomb cyclone” will be “similar in intensity and in snowfall” to the last one, and the latest forecast is calling for “more than 30 inches in some areas”. 

CHINA - An absolutely devastating disease is wiping out herds of pigs all over Asia, and most people in the western world don’t even realize what is happening. Since it was first detected last August, there have been 116 officially reported outbreaks of African Swine Fever in China, and since that time it has rapidly spread to surrounding nations such as Cambodia and Vietnam. African Swine Fever is not harmful to humans, but the vast majority of the pigs that catch it end up dead. It spreads very quickly and there is no cure, and this outbreak has already driven global pork prices through the roof. If this crisis continues to escalate, we are potentially talking about a crippling blow to global food production. China raises and consumes far more pigs than anyone else in the world, and it is also the epicenter of this crisis. All over the world, anything with pork in it is going to start costing a lot more.

USA - Because egg yolks are high in cholesterol, eggs remain a wrong target with the mainstream media and official nutritional institutions who are in lockstep with the cholesterol con. To now admit that the science does not support the cholesterol theory of heart disease would be akin to destroying Big Pharma’s most profitable line of drugs: STATINS.

USA - The US government is overrun with lobbyists and other special interests groups — and the addition of a corn syrup lobbyist to the USDA is surely just the tip of the iceberg. It was recently revealed that the former director of food policy for the Corn Refiners Association — a trade group for the corn syrup industry — would be advising the Secretary of Agriculture and other USDA staff on their Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

ISRAEL - Israelis prepare to head to the polls on Tuesday to elect their next prime minister. The contest has largely become a referendum on the continued rule of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has held the office since 2009 (and previously from 1996 to 1999), and oversaw a notable rightward shift in Israeli politics.

ISRAEL - Looking to continue his bid to court right-wing voters on the eve of the election, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took extra steps to announce that not only will the Palestinians never have their own state, but that he, assuming he is reelected, will immediately start annexing the occupied West Bank into Israel, starting with settlements. Netanyahu ruled out ever evacuating any “community” built in occupied territory, and insisted that the realization of a Palestinian state would necessarily “endanger our existence.” He took credit for the last eight years of the Palestinians not getting a state, saying no one had ever had to withstand such pressure. Whether this is just usual pre-election bluster or a statement of policy is unclear. Netanyahu claimed to have already informed Trump of his intentions, saying that he would prefer to do the annexations gradually, with US support, but would do it either way.

UK - Brexit hung in the balance on Monday as Prime Minister Theresa May tried to coax the Labour Party into agreeing a divorce deal with a better chance of passage by parliament, ahead of a crisis EU summit where she will try to delay the April 12 departure. Britain’s exit from the EU has already been delayed once but May is asking the bloc for yet more time as she courts veteran socialist Jeremy Corbyn, whose Labour Party wants to keep Britain more closely tied to the bloc after Brexit. May heads to Berlin and Paris on Tuesday to meet Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron and will be phoning other leaders before setting out the case for another delay at Wednesday’s emergency EU summit in Brussels.

UK - British Prime Minister Theresa May acknowledged that the government’s strategies to get her Brexit deal approved in Parliament failed, saying Saturday there’s little prospect lawmakers will back the thrice-rejected divorce agreement “in the near future.” With the UK once again days away from a deadline for leaving the European Union, May pressured opposition lawmakers to help her find a compromise agreement instead, saying voters “expect their politicians to work together when the national interest demands it.” After May’s deal with the EU out for a third time in the House of Commons, the prime minister invited the opposition Labour Party this week to discuss alternatives. But three days of talks ended with no agreement and the left-of-center Labour accusing May’s Conservative government of not offering real change.
