UNITED NATIONS - Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, (UN) just released the globalist’s latest game-plan for population control, surveillance and censorship. The game-plan, titled Global Principles for Information Integrity, seeks to put an end to “harmful misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech” online, all while “upholding human rights such as the freedom of speech.” Guterres presented the game-plan with a sense of urgency, commanding governments, technology companies, the media and advertisers to take control and establish official narratives, while quashing opposition voices. The UN supports Big Tech’s algorithmic control over the information stream online and seeks to control online speech further. A global body of elites seek to delete what they believe is the disinformation, and they seek to discredit and demonetize the voices of dissent. All the censorship coming from global power systems is war on free speech, but it’s also a war on truth, so that these power systems cannot be held to account for their abuses.

JAMAICA - Hurricane Beryl has hit Jamaica after leaving an “Armageddon-like” trail of devastation in Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) and killing at least seven people across the region. The category 4 storm hit the island’s southern coast on Wednesday afternoon with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 km/h), pummeling communities and knocking out communications as emergency groups evacuated people in flood-prone communities. “It’s terrible. Everything’s gone. I’m in my house and scared,” said Amoy Wellington, a 51-year-old cashier who lives in Top Hill, a rural farming community in Jamaica’s southern St Elizabeth parish. “It’s a disaster.”

USA - Hot sea temperatures are fuelling explosive growth of first ever category 4 storm in June. Hurricane Beryl’s explosive growth into an unprecedented early whopper of a storm shows the literal hot water the Atlantic and Caribbean are in – and the kind of season ahead, experts said. Beryl smashed multiple records even before its major-hurricane-level winds approached land. The powerful storm is acting more like monsters that form in the peak of hurricane season thanks mostly to water temperatures as hot or hotter than the region normally gets in September, five hurricane experts told the Associated Press.

FRANCE - A victory for the far right in the French elections could deal a serious blow to climate policy in France, experts have warned, with consequences that could ripple through the European Union and beyond. The second round of snap polls, which Emmanuel Macron called after the National Rally (RN) scored big gains in European elections last month, could result in Marine Le Pen’s party securing a majority in the French parliament on Sunday, although nationwide efforts to form a “republican front” may prevent that.

USA - Governments owe an unprecedented $91 trillion, an amount almost equal to the size of the global economy and one that will ultimately exact a heavy toll on their populations. Debt burdens have grown so large — in part because of the cost of the pandemic — that they now pose a growing threat to living standards even in rich economies, including the United States. Yet, in a year of elections around the world, politicians are largely ignoring the problem, unwilling to level with voters about the tax increases and spending cuts needed to tackle the deluge of borrowing. In some cases, they’re even making profligate promises that could at the very least jack up inflation again and could even trigger a new financial crisis.

NORTH KOREA - The US, Japan and South Korea are forging a military alliance in Asia that bears strong similarities to NATO, the North Korean Foreign Ministry has said, blasting the actions of the three countries as a threat to regional stability. In a statement on Sunday cited by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Pyongyang “strongly denounced” what it called “reckless and provocative military muscle-flexing” by Washington, Tokyo and Seoul, referring specifically to the Freedom Edge military drills. The exercise, which took place between June 27 and 29, was designed to “promote trilateral interoperability and protect freedom for peace and stability,” and featured a number of warships, including the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, according to the US Navy. ”This means that the US-Japan-ROK [South Korea] relations have taken on the full-fledged appearance of an Asian version [of] NATO,” the ministry stressed.

UKRAINE - Ukraine will be told it is currently too corrupt to join Nato, in a major blow to Volodymyr Zelensky. The alliance will request “additional steps” from Kyiv before membership talks progress, a senior official in the US State Department said. The position will be set out in writing in the Nato communique to be signed at the alliance’s annual summit on July 9. “We have to step back and applaud everything that Ukraine has done in the name of reforms over the last two-plus years,” the official told The Telegraph. Nato diplomats and officials have given Ukraine a list of reforms it will be expected to carry out before its membership ambitions can be realised, a US defence official said.

WALES - The Labour-led Welsh government has committed to introduce “globally pioneering” legislation that would in effect make lying in politics there illegal. The government’s counsel general, Mick Antoniw, said the legislation would be introduced before the next Welsh elections in two years’ time. He said: “The Welsh government will bring forward legislation before 2026 for the disqualification of members and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception through an independent judicial process.” Members of the Senedd described it as a historic moment that would combat the “existential threat” that lying in politics poses to democracy. Price said truth was at the heart of democracy, but there had been a collapse in trust in politicians. He said: “That is an existential threat. A democracy starts to break down if the electors can’t trust what the elected say."

USA - Joe Biden is facing a growing revolt from within his own party as donors hand him a stark ultimatum following his widely criticised debate performance last week. Speaking to MailOnline, major Democratic donor and former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson said: "For Biden's own good and the good of the country, he should step aside immediately." Tilson, who has donated more than $300,000 to the party in recent years, added: "The fact that it has now been three days and Biden has done nothing to reassure us confirms my worst fears," he added. Biden sparked concern from supporters as he struggled on the debate stage against Donald Trump on Thursday, in their first Presidential debate.

TAIWAN - China's navy forcefully boarded a Taiwanese fishing vessel, as tensions between the two countries threatened to boil over, according to Chinese media. The incident happened on Tuesday in waters just off the Kinmen islands in the Taiwan Strait, which are just 10km from the Chinese mainland. Taipei has created an exclusion zone in the waters around the islands, banning Chinese vessels from entry. Beijing does not officially recognise the exclusion zone, although up until recently it has tacitly accepted its existence. The waters around Kinmen are teeming with yellow croakers and other fish that are eagerly sought after by fishermen.

USA - On Tuesday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it will ban brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a food additive. The ban will take effect on August 2, 2024. BVO is a vegetable oil modified with bromine, a toxic gas. In the late 1960s, the FDA authorized using BVO in small amounts (not exceeding 15 parts per million) in citrus-flavored sodas to keep the flavoring from floating to the top. Manufacturers also use it in other products. “The agency concluded that the intended use of BVO in food is no longer considered safe after the results of studies conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Health (NIH) found the potential for adverse health effects in humans,” the FDA wrote in its statement.

UK - NatWest has angered British farmers by urging its customers to buy less red meat and to replace dairy products with plant-based alternatives. A 'carbon footprint tracker' on the bank's mobile app uses transaction data to advise customers on how to reduce their carbon footprint based on their spending habits. The app recommends 'veggie Mondays' and 'choosing (mostly) plant-based' diets to customers as a way to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It also suggests buying 'more second-hand clothes' and taking 'fewer flights' — and has thousands of users who can 'opt in' to receive a monthly carbon score. But the National Farmer's Union (NFU) has criticised NatWest for promoting 'oversimplified' messages that 'miss the nuance of the path to a sustainable food system'.

UK - A Labour candidate has broken ranks by claiming arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia will stop if the party takes power. Fabian Hamilton, who was a shadow foreign minister under Sir Keir Starmer until last year, made the comments during a hustings at the Baab-Ul-Ilm mosque in Leeds this week. It came as Sir Keir refused to commit to publishing legal advice relating to British arms sales to Israel – something Labour previously called on the Conservative government to do. Mr Hamilton, who is seeking re-election in Leeds North East, was asked during a panel event on Thursday “should we be selling arms to Israel?” by a questioner who accused Benjamin Netanyahu’s country of genocide. He replied: “On the issue of arms sales, if we win the election next week we will stop arms sales to Israel immediately."

FRANCE - French President Emmanuel Macron and his allies this morning launched a fresh week of intense campaigning hours after their party was humiliated last night in the first round of parliamentary elections by the far-right National Rally (RN). Rioting engulfed the streets of Paris last night as thousands of enraged left-leaning voters set light to rubbish, smashed up shop windows and launched fireworks after Marine Le Pen's RN steamed to victory with 33% of the first round vote.

USA - There is growing pressure on President Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee in the upcoming presidential election. President Joe Biden was set up in a 'soft coup' to oust him, a top Democratic insider claimed. The 81-year-old President's performance in Thursday's debate has led to widespread criticism and calls for his withdrawal from the presidential race. A former aide to Hillary Clinton told The Mail on Sunday: "There has never been a debate this early before. Traditionally, debates are held after the Republican and Democratic conventions, which are in July and August. Most years, the first debate is early September ahead of the November election."
