EU is depleting military resources in Ukraine and doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity to keep up with Russia

In trying to maintain the Ukrainian state, the European Union (EU) has already used up what little resources they did have. The EU has provided over $29 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, ranging from ammunition to air defense systems, Leopard tanks and fighter jets. The EU has already pledged one million rounds of artillery ammunition by early 2024 and have ...

October 03, 2023 -

Sweden's conservative prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, said after a meeting on Friday, Sept. 29, with the head of the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Police Authority that he is exploring "how the armed forces can help police in their work against criminal gangs."

Florida CFO to trigger divestment laws if censorship firm NewsGuard continues promoting its dishonest rating system as if some kind of “arbiter of truth”

July 31, 2023 -

As per Patronis' statement issued on Wednesday, the activities of the 'journalism tool,' which rates the credibility of news, are linked to the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) complex. Despite bias, NewsGuard's actions could pave the way to a larger plan to create "social credit scores" for debanking and deplatforming private entities, the state official pointed out.

In Partonis' sharply worded letter to the company's co-CEOs Steven Brill and Gordon Crovitz, ...

As Russia prepares to use tactical nukes, millions of you don’t even realize you are going to die in a Third World War

June 21, 2023 -

(Article republished from EndOfTheAmericanDream.com)

This war could have been avoided at the negotiating table long before it ever started, but that didn’t happen.

And we could still have a negotiated solution, but at this point both sides are not interested in peace talks at all.

So we will continue to steamroll down a road that leads to nuclear conflict.  Both sides just continue to escalate matters over and over again, and even Vladimir Putin is admitting ...

How NewsGuard became the establishment guard against independent media

August 18, 2023 -

(Article by  Petr Svab republished from TheEpochTimes.com)

Founded in 2018, NewsGuard dispatches its “analysts” to prepare reviews of online content creators and to issue ratings “to help readers have more context for the news they read online.” The ratings display as small badges with scores next to search results.

That, however, represents only a small part of the picture. The bigger picture shows that NewsGuard's most potent function stems from its relationships ...

Sweden and Denmark halt rollout of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for younger individuals

October 12, 2021 -

The Swedish health authority has quoted new data about the increased risk of heart inflammation as the primary reason for stopping inoculations in people born 1991 or later. On the other hand, Denmark has announced that it will stop giving the vaccine to people younger than 18.

Sweden and Denmark are considering Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine as a replacement. Like the Moderna's, Pfizer vaccine uses messenger RNA technology to trigger an immune reaction.

Is Sweden making the right choice by refusing coronavirus lockdowns?

April 16, 2020 -

A new report put out by Björn Olsen, a professor of infectious medicine at the University of Uppsala, suggests that if lockdowns aren't instituted soon, then "tragedy" is coming to Sweden.

While Sweden has actually fared quite well throughout this crisis, despite leaving open bars, restaurants and other activities, Olsen is convinced that the number of new cases and deaths is likely to jump in the next few weeks due to this "light-touch" approach to the crisis.

"The ...

Swedish state epidemiologist proclaims lockdowns and border closures as “madness” even as the coronavirus kills more Swedes

June 25, 2020 -

From the beginning, the Swedish state epidemiologist has questioned the lockdowns and quarantines espoused by his counterparts in other countries. According to Tegnell, such measures did not have any basis in science.

“Closedown, lockdown, closing borders — nothing has a historical scientific basis, in my view,” he said in an interview with Nature. ”We have looked at a number of European Union countries to see whether they have published any analysis of the effects of these ...

Sweden’s coronavirus death rate overtakes UK, Italy

May 22, 2020 -

Sweden, unlike its Nordic neighbors -- and the rest of the world, for that matter -- has largely taken a softer and non-draconian approach to fighting the ongoing pandemic, opting instead to leave schools, shops and restaurants open to the general public. Social distancing and good hygiene, meanwhile, two factors needed to successfully mitigate the continued spread of the virus, are encouraged but not enforced.

This relatively lax approach on the pandemic has since led to ...

Sweden’s controversial coronavirus plan caused “too many deaths,” admits top scientist

June 05, 2020 -

“If we would encounter the same disease, with exactly what we know about it today, I think we would land midway between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world did,” he added.

Tegnell is the brains behind the country's lighter approach to the coronavirus. While the government has banned gatherings larger than 50 people and called for social distancing, it still allowed businesses and schools to reopen. His recent admission is striking, as he had criticized countries ...

Sweden’s chief epidemiologist believes no-lockdown approach was winning strategy against COVID-19

September 28, 2021 -

Tegnell decided not to recommend mandatory lockdowns nor close schools. Back in July 2020, he defended the lack of mask mandates, saying that he was hopeful that the widespread immunity would protect the Swedes from a bad winter wave -- which turned out to be overly optimistic.

But just over a year later, before Sweden lifted all of its remaining COVID restrictions, Tegnell felt vindicated.

In an interview, Tegnell noted that Sweden has seen fewer deaths in ...

Finland halts Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to men aged 30 and below

October 08, 2021 -

Mika Salminen, director at the Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), says that they would instead give the Pfizer vaccine to men born in 1991 or later.

The new restrictions are based on data collected in a Nordic study involving men from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, which found that men under the age of 30 who received the Moderna vaccine had a slightly higher risk than others of developing myocarditis.

Swedish and Danish health officials also previously ...

Mask-free Sweden hovered at near-zero COVID-19 deaths per day in July

August 05, 2021 -

On July 30, Tegnell said that more data is needed about the coronavirus (COVID-19) strain's infectiousness and that there was "a lot we do not know." He noted that the variant has been circulating in Sweden "for quite some time" with little effect, particularly in high-risk settings such as nursing homes.

His mask-free nation hovered at near-zero COVID-19 deaths per day throughout July.CDC: Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox

Tegnell's comments were made ...

Sweden, Denmark halt use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for younger age groups

October 07, 2021 -

The Public Health Agency of Sweden says it will stop using the vaccine for people born in 1991 and later as data points to an increase of myocarditis and pericarditis cases among vaccinated youths and young adults.

Myocarditis is a condition that involves inflammation of the heart muscle. Symptoms can include fever and fatigue, as well as shortness of breath and a very specific type of chest pain. Patients tend to say their chest hurts more when they lean forward. The ...

It’s been awhile since I have been so struck by an article that I felt moved to immediately do a blog post.  Well, maybe because today is Saturday and it is one day after the landfall of Hurricane Delta, I actually have a half hour to do this.

Matt Ridley has published an article in the WSJ What the pandemic has taught us about science, that is highly relevant for climate change as well as for Covid-19.  It ...

One more reason to take probiotics: They protect against liver damage

September 10, 2018 -

The study, led by Bejan Saeedi, a doctoral candidate at Emory, stated, "Probiotics have been studied most intensely in the context of the gastrointestinal tract. This study provides evidence that the effects of probiotics extend beyond the gastrointestinal tract. What makes this study unique is that it suggests a discreet molecular mechanism by which these effects are elicited."Probiotics protect liver health

To conduct the study, Saeedi and his team fed mice a diet ...

Probiotics fight depression: Healthy gut bacteria found to reduce symptoms

January 14, 2018 -

The findings revealed that rats given probiotics exhibited neutral behavior after a swimming test despite their unhealthy diet. In contrast, rats that were not given the probiotics drink appeared more depressed following the test. The researchers also observed a significant increase in white blood cells in the brain tissues of untreated rats, which may indicate the onset of chronic inflammation.

Lead researcher Dr. Anders Abildgaard cited mounting evidence that link ...

EU declares fossil fuels and nuclear to be “green” energy sources

July 07, 2022 -

On Wednesday, the EU threw out attempts to block a law that will address gas and nuclear power to the EU's "taxonomy" rulebook from 2023. That law, which is almost certain to pass, will allow investors to label and market investments in these sectors as green. (Related: The war in Ukraine is shaking up Europe and causing its leaders to realize that going green means the economy goes kaput.)

"The vote paves the way for the European Union proposal to pass into law, unless ...
