Sergey Shoigu, the Russian defense chief, said if UK or U.S.-supplied missiles were used to strike Crimea, it would officially put the U.S. and U.K. at war with Russia
Ukrainian forces used British-provided Storm Shadow missiles to smash the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet early Friday, according to Western news reports.
In July, Sergey Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, told reporters that if UK or U.S.-supplied missiles were used to strike Crimea, it would officially put the U.S. and U.K. at war with Russia.
Shoigu predicted that Kyiv would use U.S. HIMARS and British Storm Shadow cruise missiles to attack Crimea. He said if Ukraine uses these missiles in such an attack, it will mean the U.S. and Britain “would be fully dragged into the conflict and would entail immediate strikes on decision-making centers in Ukraine.”
The attack targeted the fleet’s main building in the port city of Sevastopol and videos emerged on social media that showed smoke billowing into the air. The Ukrainian military posted on Telegram that it was behind the attack on “temporarily occupied Sevastopol.”
Russia said a serviceman is missing.
The BBC, citing a Ukrainian military source, reported that Storm Shadows were used in the strike.
Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, tweeted that Russian forces should destroy their ships before Ukrainian forces arrive because otherwise “the Russian Black Sea Fleet will be sliced up like a salami.”
The Washington Post said damage to the historic building “would indicate a remarkable failure by Russia’s air defenses.”

Just like what happened in the United States, Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” were never properly assessed by Canadian regulators in accordance with Canadian law, the accountability watchdog group National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) has confirmed.
NCI published a report on September 14 detailing the kangaroo process by which Fauci Flu shots received “approval” in Canada.
“It is important to understand that the COVID-19 vaccines were never approved under the traditional approval process for drugs in Canada,” the report states, further explaining how Health Canada, the federal agency responsible for Canadian health policy, used an alternative authorization process called an interim order instead.
“Under the alternative authorization process, the necessity to establish the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines through an objective manner appears to have been set aside.”

COVID jabs received warp speed approval in Canada just like in the U.S. – the normal rules were flouted in BOTH countries
Canada’s Food and Drug Regulations legally require any drug slated for approval to have first undergone proper safety and effectiveness testing that is then presented to the minister of health for review. The minister’s job is to assess the risks and benefits followed by either rejection or approval.
Since COVID jabs were approved and pushed at warp speed in Canada just as they were here in the United States under Operation Warp Speed, they never underwent any such testing and were instead rubber-stamped due to the “emergency.”
On Sept. 16, 2021, Canada’s minister of health exempted all COVID injections from the normal review and approval process to ensure they were released at warp speed in tandem with their U.S. release.
“This provision usually allows the minister to override normal regulations in situations of ‘significant risk’ to health, safety, or the environment,” explains Naveen Arthrappully from The Epoch Times.
Canada ultimately approved both mRNA jab types from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, as well as the viral vector-based COVID jab from Janssen. Canada also approved the AstraZeneca COVID jab, which never received approval in the U.S. and was only approved in Europe for a very short time before regulators pulled it off the market for causing blood clots and heart disease.
The NCI report states that every approved COVID jab in Canada was authorized using a “subjective test,” meaning bureaucrats simply decided that the benefits outweighed the risks and gave the shots the green light.
“This cannot be an appropriate standard for approving a drug that the Government intends to administer to the entire population,” the report states. “It is difficult to conceive of a less-scientific test for drug authorization than that found in the Interim Order.”
Even in the event that evidence was later presented to show that COVID jabs are dangerous, the Interim Order process used in Canada to approve the shots at warp speed prevented these authorizations from ever being revoked.
“Once an interim order is issued, the typical Food and Drug Regulations don’t apply,” Arthrappully explains.
“The result was that while chief medical officers across the country repeatedly assured Canadians that the COVID-19 vaccines were ‘safe and effective’ – the general Canadian population had no understanding that their authorization process had not required objective proof of safety nor efficacy,” the report details.
It was Dr. Peter McCullough who lent his support to the NCI report being compiled. Thanks to the group’s “exhaustive testimony and evidence review,” Dr. McCullough tweeted that the verdict is in:
“Conclusion: all COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for human use and must be removed from the Canadian market immediately to protect the public.”
Anyone with at least two working brain cells knows that COVID jabs are deadly and to be avoided at all costs. Learn more at ChemicalViolence.com.
US intelligence analysts believe that Ukraine has given up on its counteroffensive against Russia and the only thing prolonging the conflict is the unwillingness of Washington and Kiev to acknowledge its failure, a source has told investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.
Writing on Substack on Thursday, the veteran reporter cited an unnamed source, who “spent the early years of his career working against Soviet aggression and spying” as rejecting the Ukrainian narrative about slow but steady progress in its counteroffensive.
“‘It’s all lies,’” the source said, according to Hersh. “‘The war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore, but the White House and the American media have to keep the lie going.’”
This sentiment is shared by many figures in the US intelligence community, and the CIA in particular has been skeptical of Kiev’s claims of a continued push forward, unlike the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), he explained.
Trent Maul, the director of analysis for the DIA, touted Ukraine’s success to The Economist earlier this month and claimed Kiev’s forces had a “realistic” chance to break through Russian defense lines this year. The British outlet contrasted the assessment with that of an unnamed senior US intelligence official, who said the battlefield “could look broadly similar” in five years.
The source cited by Hersh blasted the leadership in both Moscow and Washington for acting “stupid” during the crisis. Russian President Vladimir Putin got “provoked [into] violating the UN charter” with a poorly-prepared military campaign, he argued. US President Joe Biden retaliated with a proxy war and has had to rely on the vilification of Putin by the media “in order to justify our mistake.”
“The truth is if the Ukrainian army is ordered to continue the offensive, the army would mutiny. The soldiers aren’t willing to die anymore, but this doesn’t fit the B.S. that is being authored by the Biden White House,” the source concluded.
Moscow has denied the US claim that the operation against Ukraine was an act of “unprovoked aggression,” insisting that the people of Donbass had the right of self-determination under the UN Charter and acted accordingly when they broke away from Ukraine after the 2014 armed coup in Kiev.
The Russian government has maintained that it acted lawfully when it recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luganks People’s Republics in February 2022. Days later, after Kiev refused to stop attacks on Donbass and pull out its troops, Moscow launched its offensive.
By 2022, approximately 735 million people – or 9.2% of the world’s population – found themselves in a state of chronic hunger – a staggering rise compared to 2019. This data underscores the severity of the situation, revealing a growing crisis.
Hundreds of millions of people are desperately hungry all over the world, and by the time you are done reading this article, more children will starve to death. Earlier this year, CNN actually admitted that we are in the midst of “the worst food crisis in modern history”, but because the mainstream media rarely features images of the tremendous suffering on the other side of the globe most Americans don’t even know that it is happening. Here in the Western world, the primary way that the global food crisis is manifesting is through significantly higher prices at the grocery store. Those higher prices are certainly painful, but we can deal with that. But when you don’t have enough food to feed your family on a consistent basis, that really is a nightmare scenario. According to the official UN website, 735 million people were in a “state of chronic hunger” last year…
By 2022, approximately 735 million people – or 9.2% of the world’s population – found themselves in a state of chronic hunger – a staggering rise compared to 2019. This data underscores the severity of the situation, revealing a growing crisis.
In addition, an estimated 2.4 billion people faced moderate to severe food insecurity in 2022. This classification signifies their lack of access to sufficient nourishment. This number escalated by an alarming 391 million people compared to 2019.
The persistent surge in hunger and food insecurity, fueled by a complex interplay of factors, demands immediate attention and coordinated global efforts to alleviate this critical humanitarian challenge.
We have never seen numbers like this before.
And the final numbers for 2023 will inevitably be even higher, because crops are failing all over the planet.
Satish Kumar sits in front of his submerged rice paddy in India’s Haryana state, looking despairingly at his ruined crops.
“I’ve suffered a tremendous loss,” said the third generation farmer, who relies solely on growing the grain to feed his young family. “I will not be able to grow anything until November.”
The newly planted saplings have been underwater since July after torrential rain battered northern India, with landslides and flash floods sweeping through the region.
Last month, India, which is the world’s largest exporter of rice, announced a ban on exporting non-basmati white rice in a bid to calm rising prices at home and ensure food security. India then followed with more restrictions on its rice exports, including a 20% duty on exports of parboiled rice.
The move has triggered fears of global food inflation, hurt the livelihoods of some farmers and prompted several rice-dependent countries to seek urgent exemptions from the ban.
More than three billion people worldwide rely on rice as a staple food and India contributed to about 40% of global rice exports.
Please read that last sentence again.
Without rice exports from India, the number of people who starve in poor countries in Africa and the Middle East will soar.
Some impoverished nations are literally begging India to start exporting non-basmati white rice again, but so far the government of India is not budging.
So the price of rice has been surging all over the world, and supplies are getting tighter and tighter.
Let me ask you a question.
What would you do if your child was wasting away from malnutrition right in front of your eyes?
In Somalia, families are currently facing a catastrophic food crisis. This is the result of a severe and prolonged drought and decades of conflict that have destroyed crop production and made it almost impossible for herders to find food for their animals.
Unfortunately, the most vulnerable are children, with 50% of children under five in the country experiencing acute malnutrition.
Here in the Western world, our children are not starving.
So we should be thankful for that.
But the lines at our food banks are getting longer. Here is an example from the state of Ohio…
Kam McKenzie, SNAP outreach manager for the food bank, said the Liberty Street pantry is seeing 940 more families per month since the end of February, when COVID-era SNAP benefits were halted.
“So now we’re averaging maybe a little over 300 families a day coming into our Liberty Street pantry to shop for groceries,” said McKenzie.
Based on the amount of food given out by Freestore, she estimated the demand on the pantry is up 27% compared to June of 2022.
And we are experiencing problems with our crops too.
Lack of rain has hit crops hard: In Missouri, for example, 40% of the state’s corn crop was classified as poor or very poor, according to the drought monitor. Iowa, the nation’s top corn producer, is in the midst of its worst drought in a decade with about 80% of the state in some measure of drought.
Prolonged drought has even reached the banks of Lake Superior: Parts of Wisconsin have the most severe drought designation for the first time since the 1999 inception of the U.S. Drought Monitor, said Dennis Todey, director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Midwest Climate Hub.
“It’s the severity of the drought and the length of the drought that are causing some confounding issues right now,” he said.
Unfortunately, we are still only in the very early stages of this new global food crisis.
Multiple long-term trends will combine to make it impossible for us to feed everyone on the planet in the years ahead.
Our politicians know this, but they are being very quiet about our rapidly growing food crisis because they don’t want to alarm the general population.
But there will be no escape. Hundreds of millions will not have enough food to eat tonight, and it won’t be too long before the number of people who are facing chronic hunger exceeds a billion.
“Our citizens should know the urgent facts…but they don’t because our media serves imperial, not popular interests. They lie, deceive, connive and suppress what everyone needs to know, substituting managed news misinformation and rubbish for hard truths…”—Oliver Stone
