USA - We have never seen global weather patterns go as crazy as they have so far in 2019. Record high temperatures are being shattered all over the planet, but meanwhile some parts of the US were just buried by massive amounts of snow. The sixth largest city in India [population 4.6 million] is literally running out of water due to extremely dry conditions, but in middle America it just won’t stop raining. In fact, the Midwest is getting hammered by more severe storms as I write this article. Meanwhile, Australia is being forced to import enormous amounts of wheat due to the extraordinary drought that nation is currently experiencing. Everywhere you look around the globe we see bizarre weather extremes. Worldwide weather patterns are shifting dramatically, and many believe that what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning. Will global weather patterns ever return to normal, or is this “the new normal”?

UK - A Scottish teenager who was kicked out of class for asserting that there are only two genders has reportedly been suspended from school for three weeks. The 17-year-old sparked a debate about free speech and Britain’s “progressive” education system last week after he shared a three-minute film of his teacher telling him that he could not say that there are only males and females because it was not “inclusive” to say so. [In Scotland] maintaining that there are many genders is “national school authority policy”.

USA - It has gotten to the point where maybe we should just expect violent storms to hammer the Midwest every single day of the week. Highly destructive storms ripped through the Midwest on Tuesday, it happened again on Wednesday, and the forecast calls for more powerful storms on Thursday. This growing season has been a complete and utter nightmare for US farmers, and each day it just gets even worse. Millions of acres will not be planted at all this year, but an even bigger problem is the fact that crops are dramatically failing on tens of millions of acres that were actually planted in time. Every major storm does even more damage, and that is why what we have witnessed so far this week has been so alarming. This is happening in state after state, and it is truly a disaster unlike anything we have ever seen before. In fact, one agricultural expert told AgWeb that it is “hard to get your head around just how bad it is”…

UK - Prince William said that he would “fully support” his child if one of them came out as gay, bisexual, or transgender. The second in line to the British throne made the comments during a visit on Wednesday to a charity that supports homeless LGBT young people. When he was asked what he would think if Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, four, or Prince Louis, one, came out as gay or transgender he responded: “…obviously absolutely fine by me”.

Prince William is not the only royal to champion sexual diversity, with his brother, Prince Harry, having praised transgender children’s charity Mermaids — whose work he had once described as “amazing” — recently inviting the trans activist group to join the Royal Foundation’s work on mental illness.

CHINA - China has long been credibly accused of allowing a black market in organ sales, the kidneys, livers, etc, coming from murdered political prisoners such as the Falun Gong. Several years ago, China promised it would eliminate this dark harvest, but according to the China Tribunal — an independent investigative tribunal into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience — the tyranny continues to permit the murder and strip-mining of political prisoners to continue without interruption.

Response from the International Community? This is unspeakably evil. But the vaunted international community doesn’t have the fortitude to pressure China into actually stopping this horror, nor do countries and large companies want to lose the money that would result from taking such action. These faults and weaknesses being a given, we certainly shouldn’t expect China to do the moral thing any time soon.

ISRAEL - The iconic golden dome of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque, located on the Temple Mount or Haram el-Sharif, is the third holiest site in Islam and is recognized throughout the world as a symbol of the city of Jerusalem. Yet, this ancient site that dates back to the year 705 CE is being targeted for destruction by increasingly influential extremist groups that seek to erase Jerusalem’s Muslim heritage in pursuit of colonial ambitions and the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. This movement has gained powerful allies, not just in Israel’s government, but among many evangelical Christians in the United States, including top figures in the Trump administration who also feel that the destruction of Al-Aqsa and the reconstruction of a Jewish Temple are prerequisites for the fulfillment of prophecy… and, in doing so, are pushing the world towards a dangerous war.

USA - James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released alarming new undercover video, leaked documents, and testimony from a Google insider revealing the tech giant’s plans to meddle in US politics and “prevent a Trump situation in 2020.” One aspect of the report features undercover footage of longtime Google employee and Head of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, saying Google has been working diligently to “prevent” the results of the 2016 election from repeating in 2020, meaning they are actively engaging in election meddling and working to elect someone from the Democratic Party.

USA - Thanks to the bombshell investigations of Project Veritas, we now have further confirmation that Google is a massive criminal enterprise engaged in election meddling, knowledge suppression and political coups. Just hours after this video went public, not only did Google censor the video on YouTube, now Google’s executives have gone into hiding to try to run from the truth about their criminal fraud. In the bombshell video a Google executive named Jen Gennai openly admits that Google engages in massive election fraud and abuses its power to brainwash people into promoting Democrats while rejecting Republicans. This is an open admission of a massive, coordinated criminal conspiracy being carried out by Google. It also proves that Google stole the 2018 mid-term elections and swept Democrats into a majority in the House. It was all carried out via fraud, censorship and criminal activities. It’s time to arrest and prosecute all Google executives…

USA - In 2018, Facebook issued a new policy banning users from posting advertisements for cryptocurrencies including one of the most popular, bitcoin. Under the heading of “Prohibited Financial Products and Services,” the policy noted: Ads must not promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency.

MIDDLE EAST - The US Navy confirmed early Monday that more military ships have arrived in the US 5th Fleet area of responsibility, which includes the Persian Gulf and Middle East waters. The additional deployment, which comes in the wake of last week's US drone shoot down by Iran, saw Washington coming very close to launching major strikes in response. Both the Saudis and the Israelis have pushed for a more muscular US response to "Iranian aggression" in the region, thus both MbS and Netanyahu must have been deeply disappointed that last Thursday night's readied American military response never materialized. “China gets 91% of its Oil from the Strait, Japan 62%, & many other countries likewise. So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation. All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been...” Donald J Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2019

USA - In Dark Agenda, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz exposes not only the progressive war against Christianity, but also a war against America and its founding principles, which are Christian in their origin. Dark Agenda is about an embattled religion, but most of all, it is about our imperiled nation. Tackling a broad range of issues from prayer in the schools to the globalist mindset, Horowitz traces the anti-Christian movement to its roots in communism. When the communist empire fell, progressives did not want to give up their utopian anti-God illusions, so instead they merely changed the name of their dream. Instead of “communism,” progressives have re-branded their movement as “social justice.” Dark Agenda shows how the progressives are prepared to use any means necessary to stifle their opponents who support the concepts of religious liberty that America was founded on, and how the battle to destroy Christianity is really the battle to destroy America.

USA - As the Communist party USA kicked off its 100th anniversary celebration, Jarvis Tyner called for delegates and guests at the national convention in Chicago to “set the record straight” about one of American politics biggest historical bogeymen. The remarks, met with applause, came on the first day of CPUSA’s 31st national convention – and at a moment in American politics in which democratic socialism and progressive ideas are increasingly finding a home in the mainstream of the Democratic party. “Our job as communists is to unite people… Together, we will win,” Lozano said, concluding his speech. “Our victory is inevitable. Viva the Communist party USA!”

EUROPE - Memo to the presidents of the European Commission, Council and Parliament. Focusing on the most important economic questions at EU level, these Bruegel memos are intended to be a strategic to-do list, outlining the state of affairs that will greet the new Commission.

First, the incoming presidents must define Europe’s place in an increasingly bipolar world driven by a geostrategic rivalry between the United States and China.

Second, global warming is a reality and temperatures appear to be rising faster than forecast.

Third, the three presidents need to manage the economy and EU cohesion.

The main worry is a deep recession or even a new crisis.

EUROPE - This Policy Contribution delves into the position of the EU in the current global order. China and the United States are increasingly trying to gain geopolitical advantage using their economic might. The authors examine the specific problems that China and the US pose for European economic sovereignty, and consider how the EU and its member states can better protect European economic sovereignty. Prominent scholars including Jean Pisani-Ferry, Jeremy Shapiro and Guntram Wolff have put together a timely set of recommendations for the next European Commission, urging Brussels to redefine Europe’s “economic sovereignty” in the face of harsh new global realities.

USA - A Google insider who spoke anonymously to Project Veritas claims the company is devoted to preventing anything like the 2016 election of Donald Trump from happening again. The insider who spoke to Project Veritas also drew attention to the covert suppression of non-progressive voices on YouTube, a Google-owned platform, said that stopping President Donald Trump and other politicians like Trump has become a priority for the tech giant. The insider claimed that the company did a “complete 180 in what they thought was important,” abandoning earlier ideals of self-expression and “giving everyone a voice” in favor of crackdowns on “hate.”
