UNITED NATIONS - The world’s capacity to produce food is being undermined by humanity’s failure to protect biodiversity, according to the first UN study of the plants, animals and micro-organisms that help to put meals on our plates. The stark warning was issued by the Food and Agriculture Organisation after scientists found evidence the natural support systems that underpin the human diet are deteriorating around the world as farms, cities and factories gobble up land and pump out chemicals. The way we eat is killing us – and the planet.

USA - The voracious use of toilet paper in the United States — with the average American using almost three rolls each week and major manufacturers spurning alternative fibres — is destroying Canada’s forests and causing widespread environmental damage, two international environmental groups say. “Forests are too vital to flush away,” says the report, called The Issue With Tissue, released Wednesday by Natural Resources Defense Council and Stand.earth, international nonprofit environmental organizations that cooperated on the study. The US consumes more toilet paper than any other country, almost three rolls per person each week. The US is followed by Germany and Britain in annual toilet paper consumption. They far out-pace the other nations. Canada isn’t in the top 10. It’s created an industry absorbing $31 billion in revenue every year in the US, the report says.

USA - Donald Trump's talks with Kim Jong-un ended abruptly on Thursday as the president said he was forced to walk away after the North Korean dictator demanded that all sanctions were lifted in return for giving up only some of his nukes. Trump told reporters the final snag that caused the sudden breakdown was over sanctions – and Kim's push to have all of them lifted in exchange for a concession Trump and his secretary of state could not live with.  'Sometimes you have to walk away,' Trump told reporters, explaining his decision. Trump said that he remains on good terms with Kim and continued to tout the 'enormous potential' of North Korea, but notably said there were no plans for a next summit meeting. Trump candidly revealed that Kim wanted the sanctions off, but was not willing to give up his array of nukes, missiles, and sites he only alluded to vaguely.  

UK - The UK Committee on Climate Change has nothing but contempt for the public. Ask people what the UK’s biggest housing problems are, and most will tell you, rightly, that there aren’t enough homes, and that prices and rents are far too high. But UK policymakers are preoccupied by something else and have been for a long time: that our homes contribute to, and are at risk from, global warming.

USA - I can’t think of a time when Americans were more apathetic about getting prepared, and yet this is exactly the time when the urgency to get prepared should be at the highest.  Earlier today, my wife Meranda and I were discussing the fact that every single element of “the perfect storm” is coming together just as we had anticipated.  One by one, the pieces are all falling into place, and I share the most recent things that my research has uncovered with all of you on a daily basis. 

USA - In a notable display of synchronized moral meltdown, both America’s Democrats and Britain’s Labour Party have been struggling to manage their shocking eruptions of antisemitism. Both will fail. In America, there has been outrage over remarks by Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who recycled the trope of manipulative and moneyed Jewish influence when she suggested that American Jews were buying support for Israel in Congress.

ISRAEL - Both President Donald Trump’s adviser Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu avoided a date when they said the US peace plan would be presented “after Israel’s election.” They spoke in a closed meeting at last week’s Warsaw Peace and Security conference.

ISRAEL - The Israeli Defense Forces completed a major drill Tuesday simulating a future war in the Gaza Strip. The military said the soldiers spent three days rehearsing urban warfare, combined air-ground fighting, and other drills at the Tzeelim training base in southern Israel. While this was just a simulation, it could quickly become reality. "The problem is not only Hamas. The problem is mainly Iran and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is the proxy of Iran. Iran has, I would say, the high motivation to escalate the situation in the Gaza Strip because they want to keep the Gaza Strip as an active hub against Israel because they believe as long as the IDF are occupied in the Gaza Strip, they will be less capable in Syria." Iran has entrenched itself in war-torn Syria along with Russia and Turkey. All of these countries are vying for valuable territory. Iran could use Syria to create a land bridge from Tehran to the Mediterranean, which poses a major security threat to the Jewish State.

USA - If ever you needed a clearer example of the mainstream media’s intentions in this country, you just need compare the amount of coverage given to the 2019 measles non-crisis — used to bolster vaccine manufacturers’ bottom lines while calling for the silencing of those who advocate for vaccine safety — versus the 18,000 children who will go missing from government run “protection care” this year — many of whom will be sold into sex slavery. Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, you’ve probably noticed the utter hysteria over the measles “epidemic” being shoved down the collective throats of America. But that’s simply not true and the reality is there is no epidemic and no one has died. To reiterate, as of February 21, 2019, there were only 159 cases of measles confirmed in the entire country, prompting hysteria. But when 18,000 kids a year go missing, many of them being sold into sex slavery, we hear nothing but crickets from these same people.

USA - Suzanne Venker’s recent opinion piece on FoxNews is very, very important, because she points out that almost all of the most recent deadly mass shooters have one thing in common: fatherlessness. Fatherlessness is a serious problem. America’s boys have been under stress for decades. It’s not toxic masculinity hurting them, it’s the fact that when they come home there are no fathers there. Plain and simple. Add that to a bunch of horrible cultural trends telling them that everything bad is good (gang culture, drugs, misogyny, etc), and we’ve got a serious problem on our hands. Venker goes on to explain that of CNN’s list of the “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In US History, only one was raised by his biological father since childhood.”

UK - A governor of the NHS trust in charge of England’s flagship child sex change clinic has resigned in protest amidst allegations it was “fast-tracking” young people into gender reassignment as a result of pressure from “highly politicised” LGBT campaigners. Breaking off a 35-year-long association with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Marcus Evans quit after it dismissed an internal report branding its Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) “not fit for purpose”.

USA - It looks like the war in Venezuela could begin as soon as next month, and it doesn’t appear that there will initially be much opposition to the conflict in the United States. There is widespread bipartisan support for “regime change” in Venezuela among both Democrats and Republicans, and the mainstream media is clearly willing to go along for the ride. Donald Trump is now surrounded by extremely hawkish advisers that are very eager to do something about Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and if Trump decides to pull the trigger it is likely that the vast majority of his supporters will fully back the decision.

VENEZUELA - Under the Tsar, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth. That all changed when Stalin and the communists took control.  Stalin was able to control, starve, punish and imprison a defenseless people… after he took their guns. It’s no secret that Democrats are hoping to repeat this history here in the United States. Today in Venezuela the citizens regret giving up their guns to the Socialist Chavez regime.

UK - British Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday delayed a vote on her Brexit deal in the Parliament, saying it should take place by March 12, a little more than two weeks before the UK is due to leave the European Union. The move has the potential to further sow discord within her Cabinet. Three senior Cabinet members already had suggested Saturday that they may break ranks with her and back amendments to delay Britain’s departure unless a deal is agreed upon by Parliament over the next week. But May told reporters Sunday as she travelled to Egypt for an EU-Arab League summit and talks with European Council President Donald Tusk that her negotiating team would return to Brussels on Tuesday for talks aimed at wringing concessions out of her reluctant EU partners.

FRANCE -An MP belonging to French President Emmanuel Macron’s La Republique En Marche! (LREM) has compared members of a pro-traditional marriage movement to radical Islamic terrorists. LREM MP Marlène Schiappa, who serves as Secretary of Equality, made her comments earlier this week, comparing the Manif Pour Tous movement, which protested against same-sex marriage, to Islamic radicals. The Manif Pour Tous movement reacted to the comments in a press release, saying they would be lodging a formal defamation complaint against Schiappa in court. “These scandalous remarks are an insult to the millions of French people mobilized since 2012 to peacefully show their attachment to the family, the first place of solidarity and refuge for the most vulnerable. These remarks are also an insult to the victims of Islamist terrorism whose suffering they relativize,” the group said.
