European Gas Prices Could Double or Triple in Some Countries by 2023, Warns Expert

European gas prices have already risen substantially this year but one expert has predicted that costs could double or even triple in some countries by the end of the year.

Expert Marcell Göttert from Agenda Austria, a research institute based in Vienna, has claimed that Austria, which is heavily reliant on Russian energy exports like natural gas, could see costs double by the end of the year, while others have stated Germany, which is also reliant on Russian energy exports, could see costs triple.

‘Fiat Money Needed to Hide Great Reset Costs’

The failure to put the financial system on a solid footing after the financial crisis in 2008, the pandemic and sanctions due to the Ukraine war, have ensured that the cards are finally being reshuffled.

At a conference held this weekend in Vienna, which was attended by economic experts, the shortcomings of the Western monetary system and the Great Reset was discussed at length. This is a neo-Marxist ideology, as Thorsten Polleit made clear in his lecture. The first two speakers, Keith Weiner and Thorsten Polleit, dealt with the monetary system and the role of central banks, which Polleit describes as “an ingredient in the Marxist witch’s brew”. He sees a severe recession coming.

3 Children Dead After 911 Caller Said Mother Tried to Stab Them During a House Fire in Georgia

(CNN) — Three children are dead and their mother is facing murder charges after authorities received a 911 call of a woman allegedly trying to stab her children during a house fire in Georgia, officials said.

Deputies with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance Friday evening at a home in the city of Rockmart, roughly 40 miles from Atlanta, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Deputies and firefighters entered the home to rescue the occupants and extinguished the fire, police said.

Paulding County detectives and fire investigators, agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and investigators from the state fire marshal’s office were working at the scene, the news release stated.

Seven children were found inside the home, two of whom were pronounced dead, the release said.

“Two juveniles were pronounced deceased on scene: a 3-year-old with multiple apparent stab wounds and 9-month-old. Three additional juveniles, ages 5, 9, and 11 were transported to local hospitals. The remaining two juveniles, ages 14 and 16 did not appear to have injuries,” the sheriff’s office said.

The 5-year-old later died from their injuries, the news release said, and the 9-year-old was in critical but stable condition…

Deputies Identify Man Shot Dead, Suspected of Kidnapping Two Women in Brevard County

GRANT-VALKARIA, Fla. — A man accused of kidnapping two women is dead after shooting at deputies and leading several agencies on a chase across multiple counties.

Deputies have identified the suspect as 42-year-old Curtis Kimbrough of Cocoa Beach.

Kimbrough already had a record of felonies and had recently finished serving a five-year sentence for trafficking methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to deputies.

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were contacted by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office around 8 p.m. Saturday, advising they were in pursuit of a suspect with a possible hostage from a kidnapping that occurred in Osceola County where one of the victims was shot.

The chase continued through the southern part of Brevard County. Sheriff Wayne Ivey says the suspect shot several times at Indian River County deputies.

One of the women was able to escape from the vehicle after it crashed on Old Dixie Highway and Foley Lane in Grant. Kimbrough then ran into a wooded area with the other hostage, holding a gun to her head.

Aviation Units from the Brevard, Indian River and Osceola County Sheriff’s Offices tracked them down.

Deputies said an exchange of gunfire occurred between Kimbrough and members of the Indian River and Brevard County Sheriff’s Offices and the Sebastian Police Department.

Kimbrough was killed and the hostage was rescued.

No members of the Indian River, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office or the Sebastian Police Department were hurt.

Both of the victims, one 33-year-old woman and a 41-year-old woman, were taken to local hospitals where they are being evaluated and treated.

According to deputies, the 33-year-old was released from the hospital, but the 41-year-old who’d been shot in Osceola County is still in serious condition at the hospital…

Signs in Martian Soil Point to Habitable Conditions for Life Over a Long Period

Is there life on Mars? Has there ever been? It’s one of the biggest questions we have about our planetary neighbor; now, research points to one particular part of the red planet that could have been able to harbor life several times across billions of years.

Through a thorough study of images captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, planetary scientists have identified clay-bearing sediments across the northern Ladon Valles, the southern Ladon basin, and the southwestern highlands around Ladon basin — all part of the extensively cratered Margaritifer Terra area.

Clay points to the long-term presence of water, as it forms under neutral pH conditions with minimal water evaporation. The team thinks water flowed here from around 3.8 billion years ago up to around 2.5 billion years ago, a large stretch of Martian history.

Why Hasn’t Seneca College Dropped Their Vaccine Mandate Yet?

On Thursday, June 23, we at Rebel News went down to a Seneca College campus, the same campus that shares its location with York University.

We asked students and faculty members from both institutions for their opinions on how they feel about York having dropped their mandates already, but Seneca has not.

“I’m all for vaccines, I think that people should be vaccinated because it keeps us safe. But it is unfair, I mean one school dropped their mandate, but the other didn’t. I don’t know. It’s hypocritical,” said a York student.

‘Reckless Behaviour by Health Officials’: Expert Talks COVID Vaccine Trials and Saftey Data

On day two of the Canadian COVID Care Alliance’s (CCCA) event titled the Citizens Hearing, Deanna McLeod gave a startling presentation.

I have previously interviewed McLeod who was part of a team that conducted a systemic review on Pfizer’s own COVID-19 clinical trial data. It showed an increase in harm (and death!) compared to the placebo group; harms that were buried and/or grossly misrepresented.

As the founder and head of Kaleidoscope Strategic, a medical research firm that specializes in preparing evidence-based guidelines and systematic reviews in terms of cancer research, MacLeod says that with COVID, they “stepped into this new environment and just did what we normally do which is evaluate clinical trials with an eye for safety.”

Dutch Coinbase Users Will Have to Hand Over Data When Sending Crypto to Private Wallets

The Freedom Convoy protests in Canada earlier this year, where protesters had their bank accounts frozen at the behest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, brought the idea of sending cryptocurrencies to private wallets into the mainstream news, as civil liberties supporters were able to use crypto to get funds to the protesters on the front lines.

But now, governments all around the world are trying to curb the use of private wallets that aren’t controlled by a central provider and it could threaten the free exchange of currency.

Coinbase customers in the Netherlands will soon be required to provide additional know-your-customer (KYC) details when transferring crypto assets out of the exchange. The change is in compliance with local regulations.

German Vice-Chancellor “Drastically Reduces” Time in Shower to Cope With Energy Crisis

German Vice-Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck spoke with Der Spiegel magazine about the need for German citizens to shower less to overcome the worst energy crisis in a generation.

When asked by Der Spiegel about “saving energy in our day-to-day lives,” Habeck responded by saying to shower less.

“I have drastically reduced the amount of time I spend in the shower, but I am a poor example. As a minister, I earn a salary that others can only dream of. Plus, I come home late, get up at 6 a.m., and am out of the house again by 7. With such a schedule, it’s not necessary to heat in winter. For people working from home, retirees with small pensions, and families, it is a different story.

“My counterpart from the Netherlands recently told me proudly that they had launched a campaign intended to cut the average showering time from 10 minutes to five. I had to laugh. I have never showered for five minutes in my life. I shower quickly,” he said.

One Year After His Death, John McAfee’s Corpse Still Being Held by Gov’t, Fueling Claims of ‘Cover Up’

Authored by Matt Agorist via The Free Thought Project

It has been an entire year since John McAfee died — allegedly by suicide — in a Spanish prison and since that day, authorities have refused to release his body.

Since his death last June, the internet has abounded with conspiracy theories over how John McAfee died. Adding fuel to the conspiracy fire was the fact that the Spanish government — who was holding him on charges of tax evasion to be extradited to the United States — has held his body and refused to allow the family to see it.

After suspiciously holding his body for 7 months, in February, a Spanish court ruled that McAfee took his own life. This ruling by the judge confirmed the findings of the original autopsy which declared his death a suicide.

As she did with the original ruling, McAfee’s widow, Janice McAfee has appealed the ruling, insisting her husband was murdered.

Suspect in Norway Mass Shooting During LGBTQ Festival Refuses to Explain Motive

OSLO, Norway — The suspect in a mass shooting during an LGBTQ festival in Norway has refused to explain his actions to investigators and will remain in pretrial custody for the next four weeks, police and his defense lawyer said Sunday.

The man, whom authorities described as a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, — was arrested shortly after the shooting in Oslo’s nightlife district early Saturday. He is being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism.

Two people were killed and more than 20 were injured in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act.”

Oslo police said they tried to question the suspect on Saturday and again on Sunday without success. Norwegian media identified him as Zaniar Matapour.

Matapour’s defense lawyer, John Christian Elden, told The Associated Press by email that his client refused to have his statement recorded and videotaped unless police released the entire recording to the public “with no time delay so it won’t be censored or manipulated.”,,,

“We Are Your Death”: The Persecution of Christians, May 2022

The following are among the abuses Muslims inflicted on Christians throughout the month of May 2022:

Murder and Mayhem in Nigeria:

On May 12, the Islamic State in Nigeria released a video of its members slaughtering 20 Christians. The ISIS terrorists were dressed in black, which covered everything but their eyes. In the video, the Christians appear on their knees, their hands tied behind their backs. A man holding a knife stands behind them. The terrorists claim that the murder of these 20 Christians is “payback” for ISIS leaders killed three months earlier in Syria by the U.S. Although the scene is reminiscent of the 2015 video of another pack of Muslim terrorists slaughtering 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, it received far less media coverage. The 2015 video of the Copts had received six times less media coverage than the killing of a gorilla about the same time. The video of the Nigerian Christians also barely made a peep in the Western media — as if the ritual slaughter of Christians is now so normal, it does not merit a report.
