Cost of Living Crisis Usurps Pandemic as World’s Most Concerning Issue

Sky-rocketing Inflation has overtaken the coronavirus pandemic as the primary concern across the world, a recent survey has shown.

Polling in late April by the Ipsos Institute Research asked respondents in 27 countries around the world what their number one worry was for the immediate future.

A total of 64 percent of respondents believed that the world was generally going in the wrong direction, compared to 36 percent who disagreed. As many as 80 percent of Poles were in the pessimistic group, with only Peruvians (91 percent) and Argentinians (86 percent) being more negative. The most optimistic respondents were residents of India (75 percent) and Saudi Arabia (93 percent).

Armed Suspect Who Tried to Breach Cincinnati FBI Building Dead After Standoff, Police Say

An armed suspect was shot and killed by law enforcement after an attempted breach of a Cincinnati FBI building led to a standoff in rural Clinton County, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.

According to Ohio State Highway Patrol, it started around 9 a.m. when an armed man attempted to breach FBI Cincinnati’s visitor screening facility.

An alarm went off and FBI special agents responded when the man fired a nail gun at law enforcement personnel, sources tell NBC. The man then held up an AR-15-style rifle before fleeing in a vehicle north onto I-71 leading Ohio State Highway Patrol on a pursuit.

Police said during the pursuit, the suspect fired shots from his vehicle before getting off the highway, stopping near Smith Road in Clinton County.

That’s when police said the suspect and officers exchanged gunfire, leading to a standoff.

Law enforcement officers attempted to negotiate with the suspect but were unsuccessful.

That’s when officers attempted to move forward and take the suspect into custody but those efforts were also unsuccessful, OSP said.

The suspect later raised a firearm toward law enforcement and shots were fired by officers on the scene. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, OSP said.

No officers were injured during the standoff. Police have not identified the suspect but NBC News reports he has been identified as Ricky Walter Shiffer.

Soros Pushes Left-Wing Reforms for US Judiciary

In the run-up to the US midterms elections, the big speculator and “philanthropist” George Soros has found a new field of activity. He now excels at funding American prosecutors who want to “reform” the US justice system. Republican politicians and lawyers are outraged. They blame Soros for the increase in violence in the country.

An op-ed by Soros, in which he openly admits to supporting progressive US prosecutors, has drawn sharp criticism. “My tools are intended to give a public voice to sensible, reform-minded candidates,” Soros wrote on July 31. His contribution is entitled: “Why I Support Reform Prosecutors”.

Soros wants to counter “injustices in the system”, which he believes are responsible for the increase in violence and murder in the US. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report in May showed the highest rate of gun murders in 2020 in 25 years.

With his cash injection, Soros supports the agenda of progressive US politicians and officials “for a more efficient and fairer justice system”. The financial resources of the criminal justice system should primarily be used for prevention and therapy instead of criminal prosecution.

“The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for government services to be accessible and flexible in the digital age. The next step in making services more convenient to access is a federal Digital Identity Program, integrated with pre-existing provincial platforms,” the report reads.

“Digital identity is the electronic equivalent of a recognized proof-of-identity document (for example, a driver’s license or passport) and confirms that ‘you are who you say you are’ in a digital context.”

A card that — for the moment — is expanding in partnerships and that — for the moment — is still on a voluntary basis.

Germany: Knife-Wielding African 16-Year-Old Shot Dead by Police in Dortmund

Left-wing groups are protesting after German police officers shot and killed a Black teen who was brandishing a knife in a youth home in Dortmund on Monday.

The 16-year-old Senegalese national reportedly attacked one of the police, prompting one officer to respond by shooting the young male five times.

Following the death of the teenager, protests took place in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the DPA news outlet.

The police patrol was called on Monday by an employee of a children’s home in Dortmund, who reported she had seen one of the residents armed with a knife. Eleven police officers arrived on scene, but the youth refused to drop the knife. The officers deployed pepper spray and utilized a taser against the minor, but these non-lethal methods failed. The young man attacked the officers and refused to give the knife up. During the resulting struggle, one of the police officers fired an MP5 machine gun at the teen, hitting him five times, according to Czech news outlet Novinky.

Latest EU Red Tape Leaves Tons of South African Oranges Rotting in European Ports

The import of citrus fruits to the European Union is expected to drop significantly after recently introduced regulations resulted in tons of South African oranges and grapefruits rotting in European ports.

The new rules, which South African growers say were introduced after their harvest and therefore too late for them to adhere to, are intended to prevent an infestation of orange butterflies, also known as false moths, into the European Union.

Farmers are now expected to ensure that all oranges be subjected to extreme cold treatment and kept at a temperature no warmer than 2 degrees Celsius for at least 25 days.

Mega Blackout Imminent? France Shuts Down Half Its Nuclear Reactors

France is an important factor in Europe’s energy supply. But the country is planning on shutting down more than half of its nuclear reactors. The reason given is that they supposedly need maintenance.

The energy exporter is going to have to access energy from abroad. But that can turn out to be more difficult than planned with the European energy crisis expanding. Is a mega blackout looming?

Some 56 nuclear reactors at 18 locations normally supply France with electricity. But 18 of these reactors are already shut down. Long-term maintenance work is to be carried out. That had been planned for a long time, authorities said. But then France also had to shut down 12 more reactors last week.

Damage caused by corrosion is said to be the reason for this. The supply in Europe’s power grid seems all the more uncertain in winter.

Race for UK PM: Truss Claims She Wants to Hold Police, Officials Who ‘Didn’t Do Anything’ About Rape Gangs to Account

Tory leadership hopeful Liz Truss has claimed she would ensure officials “who didn’t do anything” about rape gangs are held to account.

“It seems at the moment that we live in a society where the police will happily turn up at your doorstep if you have the audacity to insult someone on Twitter and slap you in handcuffs, but if you’re part of a grooming gang they turn the other cheek,” a viewer question to the Foreign Secretary suggested when she appeared on GB News recently, asking what she was “prepared to do to confront and bring to justice the perpetrators of the grooming gangs?”

UK: Legal Options Running Out for WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange

The tug of war over the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the US is entering its final stages, with London’s High Court set to make a final decision in September. His family is worried about his health.

Julian Assange has been detained at London’s high-security Belmarsh Prison, one of the UK’s toughest detention centers, since 2019. The WikiLeaks founder has long since completed his original 50-week sentence for skipping bail in 2012. But he has remained in custody ever since, in extremely harsh conditions, in what is essentially detention pending deportation.

British Home Secretary Priti Patel signed the judicial extradition order in June. Assange has one last chance to be allowed to appeal the judicial order, to the High Court in London. A ruling is expected next month. If his request is rejected Assange will be extradited to the United States within four weeks.

Russian Oil Flows Resume Through Druzhba Pipeline But Fuel Woes in Central Europe Continue

After the swift intervention of Hungary’s MOL and Slovakia’s Slovneft oil companies, crude oil transport resumed on the Druzhba Russian pipeline, but this only means that the region’s fuel supply is back to the shaky state it was in before the Russians stopped deliveries, according to Hungarian business portal Vilaggazdasag.

As Remix News reported on Wednesday, Ukraine stopped oil transfers through the country on Aug. 4, as it did not receive the transit fee from Russian oil transport company Transneft. News agency Bloomberg reported that Russia initiated the transfer — due in advance for each month — on July 22, but the money bounced back on July 28 since banks would have required national regulators’ approval due to the sanctions against Russia.

India: Two Die, 6 Others Injured Following Communal Clash in Karnataka’s Koppal

Some say, Hindus were attacked with swords from Muharram rally.

B Upendran | HENB | Bengaluru | Aug 11, 2022:: As many as two people lost their lives and six others got injured after a clash broke out between two communities viz. Hindus and Muslims in the Hulihyder village of Koppal district in Karnataka. The local administration has imposed Section 144 in the area.

Koppal is a town in Koppal district in the Indian state of Karnataka. Koppal is surrounded on three sides by hills. It is also known as Kopana Nagara. The place is renowned for its historical and religious importance. Koppal is almost 340 km away from Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru.

As per a India Today report, on the basis of preliminary information, a Hindu boy was in love with a Muslim girl. During a Muharram program, the boy went to meet the girl, after which arguments broke out between them.

Soon, other people from both communities joined them and started beating each other with bamboo sticks and iron rods. Some sources say that Muslims attacked the Hindus with swords from the Muharram rally.

Over eight people got injured. Two of the injured, Pasha Walli (22) and Yenakapaa Talavad (60) died in the hospital.

A police team reached the site of the incident and took the situation under control. Section 144 has been imposed in the village as a precautionary measure.

The news agency ANI also confirmed the clash in Koppal.

Further investigation into the incident is going on.

Islamic Dominance in India Though Demographic Change

Silent Muslim invasion through demographic change to end the Hindu majority in India.

The Secular analysts and so called demography experts always hint that Muslim population is not any danger for the Hindu majority India anyway.

But, the Census of India (through its religious population census) gives us a clear picture about the high concentration of Muslim population across India area/district/metropolitan-sector wise.

In a consideration of 50% and above as ‘Muslim majority’, 49%-30% Muslim population as ‘Highly Muslim influenced’ and 29%-10% Muslim population as ‘Muslim influenced’ areas/districts/metropolitan-sectors; a huge number of Muslim concentrations are found through the available 2011 Census data of India.

So far, 37 Muslim majority, 33 highly Muslim influenced and 94 Muslim influenced areas/districts/metropolitan-sectors are found in an analysis of Census data. However, the numbers in highly Muslim influenced and Muslim influenced areas may be higher than the estimation as Muslim population growth, infiltration etc. has been moderately high during this period 2011 and 2022 further.

More than are quite few, we have tried to list up the districts where Muslim population is more than or equal to the state overall percentage as below. This has been prepared from the available data of Census 2011[Go through search option for desired data state & category wise]…

How Gender Ideology Cost a Chicago Mother Custody of Her Child

A Chicago resident and lifelong educator who spent her entire adult life surrounded by children, Cooper considered herself a loving and responsible mother. After she and her husband divorced in 2015, she won custody of their daughter six days and seven nights a week.

Cooper says the two shared a happy, healthy mother-daughter relationship, bonding over their love for board games and progressive politics.

But on July 22, 2019, after a regular custodial visit to her father’s house, Cooper’s daughter, then 12, refused to come home. The next morning, she insisted not only that she was transgender, but that she felt “unsafe” around her mom.
