This Week in the World Affairs Brief
NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD - TYRANNY ON THE RISE
Things are getting worse everywhere—not just here in the USA. I say that because the US has now joined the rest of the world with double-digit inflation, and although all nations fudge the numbers to fool people into thinking it’s not as bad as it is, inflation is a serious factor for any economy and has ruined whole countries. We have not yet reached this level in the US, because there are so many other levers of manipulation available to the financial Powers that Be, but in third world countries the effect is much more dramatic because they are limited in how many taxes they can wring out of their population. Tyranny is growing at an even pace with inflation. Even though Covid is disappearing, the emergency powers which the false pandemic spawned are ready to be employed again at the least provocation and tamp down on personal liberty. Nations around the world are turning more tyrannical and restrictive against all forms of personal liberties.

The ‘Dark Truth’ Behind America’s ‘Vaccine Court’
May 13, 2022
Wayne Rohde knows what it’s like to have a child injured by a vaccine — his son was diagnosed with an encephalitic brain injury at 13 months old, after getting the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Rohde also has personal experience navigating the process of trying to get financial compensation for a child’s vaccine injury.
The author of “The Vaccine Court 2.0: Revised and Updated: The Dark Truth of America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program” (2021) sat down with The Defender to discuss how the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has evolved — or devolved — in the last two decades to protect government agencies and corporations rather than the health of vaccinated children.

Russian-Captured Ukrainian Territories Will Soon Ask To 'Join Russia': State Media
May 11, 2022
It was in late April that a pro-Moscow "military-civilian administration" was installed after Kherson fell to the invading forces, complete with a local transition to the Russian ruble. While the news hasn't been officially confirmed by the Kremlin, it's significant that the report surfaced through RIA and not Ukrainian or opposition sources, suggesting such referendums or even simple declared annexations in captured regions could be imminent.

CCP Smart Satellite "Live Streamed" US Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier Off New York
May 11, 2022
A remote sensing satellite, powered by artificial intelligence technology, lurked in low Earth orbit above North America on June 17 of last year and automatically detected the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier off the coast of Long Island, New York. It captured footage of the vessel conducting naval maneuvers, such as adjusting formation and making emergency maneuvers. ..The satellite is equipped with a family of AI chipsets that can perform multiple tasks, and if one chip fails, another would come online as backup and immediately take over tasks.
Researchers didn't name the satellite but said it also detected and obtained positions of military assets in northeastern Australia.
This new type of intelligence gathering via AI-powered satellites could one day have a more significant role in decision-making for PLA commanders. Beijing believes that future warfare is through high-tech weapons aided by supercomputers.

'Bongbong' Marcos, Son Of Notorious Dictator, Wins By Landslide In Philippine Presidential Vote

There Goes The Housing Market
May 11, 2022
Since the Fed is rushing to hike the US into a deep recession just so inflation will (supposedly) slide ahead of the November midterms, in line with Biden's demands, the housing market is eager to comply with Powell's and Biden's handlers' wishes, and is leading the charge into the economic abyss, as we discussed most recently here, and as the latest nationwide survey of new home builders confirms.
Last week, Zillow's dismal outlook stoked fears that rising mortgage rates would result in the next downturn. On Monday night, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky warned: "this moment feels similar to late 2008 when we started" the online marketplace for lodging.

The researchers looked at data surrounding ballot drop boxes in targeted areas, as well as UPS stores and select government, commercial, and non-governmental organization (NGO) facilities.
