TRAGIC STABBING Spree at London Market Shocks Community

11 November 2024 — A stabbing spree at East Street Market in south London left one dead and two injured on Sunday morning. Police arrested a man in his 60s at the scene. While they have not shared details about the suspect or his motives, they do not believe it is terror-related, hinting that mental health issues might be involved.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the attacker randomly targeted people. An unnamed fabric seller said, “I just saw a bloke running through the market stabbing people willy-nilly.” The attack happened around 10:30 am when the market was getting busy.

The witness immediately called police after seeing two men stabbed, noting one appeared severely injured. Emergency services quickly arrived but sadly, one victim died from injuries despite their efforts.

The investigation continues as authorities work to understand what led to this tragic event and ensure community safety moving forward.

TRUMP’S BOLD Move: Elon Musk and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Connect

09 November 2024 — President-elect Donald Trump facilitated a conversation between Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a congratulatory call. A Ukrainian official revealed that Trump handed his phone to Musk, allowing Zelenskyy to thank the SpaceX CEO for providing Starlink satellite internet access. This highlights Musk’s influence within Trump’s circle, sparking speculation about a potential formal role in the administration.

Trump’s interactions with Zelenskyy are under scrutiny as he prepares to assume office on January 20th. He has suggested a shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine, proposing Kyiv might cede territory for peace with Russia — an idea Zelenskyy rejects. This stance contrasts with Trump’s previous administration’s decision to arm Ukraine against Russian aggression in 2017, which helped counter the full-scale invasion in 2022.

The Biden administration has provided extensive military and economic aid to Ukraine, drawing criticism from Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. They argue that U.S. resources should prioritize domestic needs over foreign conflicts, reflecting their cautious approach towards international involvement.

BRITISH FARMERS Revolt: Unfair Trade Deals and Deceptive Food Labels Undermine Local Agriculture

26 March 2024 — London’s streets echoed with the voices of British farmers, expressing their deep concerns over free trade agreements and deceptive food labels. They argue these deals, inked by Tory governments post-Brexit with nations such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico and New Zealand, are a blow to local farming.

The farmers highlight a stark contrast in standards between them and their international competitors. They are expected to adhere to stricter labour, environmental and health regulations which inadvertently allows foreign goods to undercut local produce prices. The issue is further amplified as European farmers gain access to UK markets thanks to generous government subsidies and the use of cheap migrant labour.

Adding insult to injury is a policy that allows foreign food repackaged in the UK to sport the British flag. This tactic muddies the waters for local farmers trying to set their products apart from overseas competition.

Liz Webster, founder of Save British Farming voiced her frustration at the protest stating that UK farmers are “completely disadvantaged”. She accused the government of reneging on its 2019 promise for a beneficial deal with the EU for British agriculture.

BRUTAL HAMAS Attack on Israeli Music Festival: An Unprecedented Horror Revealed

16 October 2023 — This past weekend, the Supernova music festival in southern Israel fell victim to a savage attack by Hamas militants. This brutal assault marked one of the first targets and resulted in widespread devastation across several towns. The attack led to at least 260 deaths, making it one of the most deadly civilian incidents in Israel’s history.

ABC News collected accounts from survivors and relatives of the missing to reconstruct this chilling event. They scrutinized and authenticated witness videos as well as security footage. Numerous festival attendees also contributed their experiences and original cell phone videos.

The pandemonium erupted just after sunrise at 6:40 a.m., signaled by initial rocket trails streaking across the sky. As crowds tried to escape by car, roads quickly became jam-packed and impassable. One witness reported close-range fire from Hamas militants while fleeing via the main road north—a claim backed up by images of their bullet-riddled vehicle.

ABC News has confirmed video evidence that emphasizes the intentional nature of this attack on Supernova. This episode marks a bleak moment in Israel’s history, spotlighting an escalating conflict with potentially wide-ranging implications.

REVEALED: Hamas SHOCKING Deception — Secret Attack Plans on Israel While ‘Governing’ Gaza

13 October 2023 — In a recent Russian TV interview, senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, dropped a bombshell. He revealed that while the group projected an image of governance and concern for the welfare of 2.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, they were secretly planning attacks on Israel for years.

Baraka confirmed their deceptive tactics. While appearing to be engrossed in governance, they were covertly preparing for a large-scale assault. He boasted that their rockets could target all parts of Palestine and even bragged about bombing Tel Aviv on the first day of their attack.

This startling admission has put Israeli intelligence under intense scrutiny for failing to foresee this surprise attack. Baraka’s statements have exposed Hamas’ duplicitous strategies and underscored their readiness to sacrifice themselves in what they believe is a defense of their land.

TEXAS Teen BANISHED to Alternative School Over Dreadlocks: Is This a Crown Act Injustice?

11 October 2023 — Darryl George, an 18-year-old junior at Barbers Hill High School in Texas, was reassigned to an alternative education program following a month-long in-school suspension. The cause? His dreadlocks. George has been serving his suspension since August 31 and is scheduled to attend the EPIC program from October 12 through November 29. The school’s principal attributed his removal to George’s “non-compliance” with various campus and classroom rules.

The school district enforces a dress code that restricts male students from having hair longer than their eyebrows, ear lobes or the top of their T-shirt collar. It also mandates that all students maintain clean, well-groomed hair of natural color and shape. Despite this code, George’s family contends that his hairstyle does not infringe upon these rules.

In retaliation against the disciplinary action imposed on George, his family lodged a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency last month and initiated a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state governor and attorney general. They argue that these measures breach Texas’ CROWN Act — legislation designed to outlaw race-based hair discrimination — which came into force on September 1st.

HEARTBREAKING TRUTH: Maya Kowalski’s Shocking Testimony on Alleged Medical Abuse and Mother’s Suicide

10 October 2023 — Maya Kowalski, the young woman embroiled in a high-profile alleged child medical abuse case in Florida, delivered her testimony on Monday. The case has catapulted into national consciousness due to its ties with the Netflix documentary “Take Care of Maya”. In 2016, Maya was diagnosed with a rare condition known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and was subsequently admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (JHAC).

Hospital staff raised suspicions of “medical abuse” by her parents and promptly notified the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). This led to an enforced separation between Maya and her parents while she remained hospitalized. During her testimony in a Sarasota County courtroom, she portrayed this separation as “unbelievably cruel”.

The allegations had devastating consequences for Maya’s family. Her mother, Beata Kowalski, tragically ended her own life after enduring months without seeing her daughter. According to family attorney Greg Anderson, Beata committed suicide on January 7th, 2016.

EMERGENCY Alert Test: The NATIONWIDE Drill You Can’t Ignore

04 October 2023 — The federal government is set to conduct a nationwide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System on Wednesday. This system, designed to deliver a presidential message to Americans within 10 minutes during a national crisis, uses the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts.

Wireless phone users in the U.S. will receive an alert at 2:20 p.m. Eastern time that reads: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” Along with this message, phones will emit sound and vibration signals. If any phones are switched off at this time, they will display the alert once powered back on within a half-hour window.

For those tuning into broadcast or cable television or radio during this period, they’ll encounter a one-minute message stating: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System by Federal Emergency Management Agency covering United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action required by public.”

Biden’s APPROVAL RATINGS Dive: Is Inflation to Blame?

04 October 2023 — President Biden’s popularity is taking a serious hit, largely due to the ongoing inflation crisis. Recent polls indicate a steep drop in public support, with many pointing fingers at his economic strategies as the root cause of the current predicament.

The escalating cost of living and soaring gas prices are fueling widespread dissatisfaction. Detractors argue that Biden’s economic management style has directly contributed to these problems.

Moreover, there is mounting unease about how the administration is dealing with foreign policy issues, especially concerning China and Russia. These concerns have further dented the president’s approval ratings.

As we inch closer to mid-term elections, these statistics could spell potential disaster for Democrats. The party will need to pull out all stops to rebuild public trust and restore faith in their leadership abilities.

NO RELIEF: Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Unyielding Stance on High Taxes

02 October 2023 — Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will address the record-breaking taxation rates burdening families and businesses in his speech today. Despite the unprecedented tax hike during this peaceful Parliament, he offers no respite. He strongly believes that promising a tax cut would undermine his goal of controlling inflation.

Hunt’s comments reflect a preference for substantial state support and an economic theory that individual expenditure fuels inflation. However, he neglects to recognize that government spending doesn’t have the same impact. In an attempt to distinguish his Conservative Party from the opposing Labour Party, who also resist tax cuts, Hunt professes belief in reducing taxes but doesn’t anticipate actual reductions.

Despite caution from the Institute of Fiscal Studies about high-tax systems becoming entrenched due to governmental choices, Hunt disagrees. He maintains that this shift isn’t inevitable with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak ready to make “tough calls.” Regarding potential future tax cuts, Hunt implies efficient government spending and hard decisions are vital for corporate growth.

Marcos Jr STANDS UP to China: The Bold Challenge Over South China Sea Barrier

30 September 2023 — Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has taken a firm stance against China’s installation of a 300-meter barrier at the entrance to Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. This marks his first public opposition to this move, following his directive to dismantle the barrier. Marcos asserted, "We’re not seeking conflict, but we won’t back down from defending our maritime territory and our fishermen’s rights.”

This recent face-off between China and the Philippines follows Marcos’ decision earlier this year to increase U.S. military presence under a defense pact from 2014. This move has raised concerns in Beijing, as it could lead to an increased American military presence near Taiwan and southern China.

After the Philippine coast guard removed the Chinese barrier at Scarborough Shoal, Filipino fishing boats managed to catch around 164 tons of fish in just one day. “This is what our fishermen miss out on... it’s evident that this area belongs to the Philippines,” stated Marcos.

Despite these efforts, two Chinese coast guard vessels were seen patrolling the shoal’s entrance by a Philippine surveillance aircraft on Thursday. According to Commodore Jay Tar

Biden’s Approval Rating PLUNGES to Record Low: Is INFLATION to Blame?

29 September 2023 — A recent Gallup poll reveals a new low for President Joe Biden’s approval rating. Amid escalating inflation and economic unease, the President’s popularity is dwindling.

The survey shows a mere 40% of Americans giving the nod to Biden’s job performance — the lowest since he assumed office in January 2021.

The soaring cost of goods and services is hitting American households hard, leading to financial stress and discontent with the current administration.

This steep decline in approval could spell trouble for Democrats in the forthcoming midterm elections. If this trend persists, Republicans may seize control of Congress come November.

CANADA’S Wonderland Terrifying Ordeal: Guests Trapped Upside Down on Thrill Ride

26 September 2023 — A delightful evening took a shocking turn at Canada’s Wonderland amusement park over the weekend. Visitors experienced a chilling ordeal, finding themselves trapped upside down on the “Lumberjack” ride for an extended period of nearly 30 minutes.

The ride malfunctioned and became inverted at 10:40 p.m. local time on Saturday, as confirmed by park officials. By 11:05 p.m., all thrill-seekers were safely evacuated and checked by First Aid staff before being allowed back into the park.

Two guests reported experiencing chest pain but were evaluated without requiring further medical intervention. Spencer Parkhouse, an 11-year-old rider, shared his fears with CBC News, wondering if he would ever be right-side up again.

NET NEUTRALITY Revival Pushed by Biden’s New FCC Pick: The Real Impact on Telecom Companies

26 September 2023 — Following the unsuccessful Senate endorsement of Gigi Sohn, President Biden has now confirmed Anna Gomez as the new commissioner for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This appointment breaks a 2-2 deadlock at the Commission. In response, Democrats and progressive nonprofits have begun to advocate for the return of Title II regulations on telecom companies.

On Monday, a group of 27 Senate Democrats, which included Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), called on FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to reestablish Title II regulations on internet service providers. These were regulations that had been withdrawn during Trump’s tenure.

Last week, progressive nonprofit Free Press also stepped up its efforts by starting a petition urging the FCC to bring back net neutrality rules. These rules were first introduced during Obama’s presidency before social media censorship became widespread. Net neutrality was initially touted as a means to safeguard an open internet by classifying telecom companies as common carriers.

Free Press emphasized that net neutrality is essential for preserving an internet that is “free, open and accessible to all.” However, critics contend that such regulation could potentially stifle innovation and competition within the sector.

Chris PACKHAM’S RADICAL Call to Break the Law: Is It Justified or a Threat to Democracy?

23 September 2023 — In his most recent show, “Is It Time To Break The Law?”, seasoned BBC presenter Chris Packham hinted that legal protests might not be enough for environmental causes. On Channel 4, Packham suggested that law-breaking could potentially be a necessary step to save our planet.

Known for his wildlife programs and involvement in left-wing climate marches like Extinction Rebellion (XR), Packham is currently rallying support for a “Restore Nature Now” demonstration. This protest is scheduled later this month outside the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) headquarters in London.

The provocative comments made by the Springwatch host on public broadcaster Channel 4 have ignited considerable controversy. Critics contend that endorsing illegal activities erodes democratic procedures and establishes a perilous precedent.

BORDER CHAOS Escalates: Migrants from Around the Globe Swarm Southern Border, Agents Struggle to Cope

22 September 2023 — In a remote corner of Southern California, a diverse group of migrants hailing from countries such as China, Ecuador, Brazil, and Colombia have surrendered to Border Patrol agents. Their makeshift desert campsite is a stark symbol of the recent surge in asylum-seekers that has put immense pressure on various parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. This influx has led to shutdowns at border crossings in Eagle Pass (Texas), San Diego and El Paso.

The Biden administration finds itself scrambling for solutions following a brief dip in illegal crossings due to new asylum restrictions introduced in May. With Democrats pushing for more resources to accommodate asylum-seekers and Republicans using this issue as ammunition for the upcoming 2024 elections, Temporary Protected Status has been granted to an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans already residing in the U.S., adding to the 242,700 who had previously qualified.

In response to this crisis, an additional 800 active-duty military personnel have been deployed at the border joining an existing force of 2,500 National Guard members. Furthermore, holding facilities are being expanded by an additional capacity of 3,250 spaces. The administration

RUSSELL BRAND’s Career Hangs in the Balance: Sexual Assault Allegations Emerge

18 September 2023 — British comedian Russell Brand is facing serious allegations of sexual assault from multiple women. This has resulted in the postponement of his live performances and a severed relationship with his talent agency and publisher. The U.K. entertainment industry is now wrestling with whether Brand’s celebrity status protected him from accountability.

Brand, now 48, denies the accusations made by four women through a Channel 4 documentary and articles published in The Times and Sunday Times newspapers. Among these accusers is one woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Brand at age 16, while another claims he raped her in Los Angeles back in 2012.

The Metropolitan Police force has been notified of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Soho, central London, back in 2003 — earlier than any assaults reported by media outlets so far. Although they did not directly name Brand as the suspect, police acknowledged the TV and newspaper allegations during their announcement.

In response to these serious allegations, Brand insists all his past relationships were consensual. As more women step forward with accusations against him, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s spokesman Max Blain labeled these claims as “very serious and concerning.” Conservative legislator Caroline Nokes has called on British and U.S. law enforcement to investigate these alarming allegations.

CHINA’s MILITARY Might on Display: Taiwan Braces for Intensifying Threats

14 September 2023 — China is consistently fortifying its military stations along the coast facing Taiwan, says a report from Taiwan’s Defense Ministry. This development coincides with Beijing escalating its military activities around the territory it claims. In response, Taiwan pledges to strengthen its defenses and keep a close eye on Chinese operations.

In just one day, 22 Chinese aircraft and 20 warships were detected near the island by Taiwan’s Defense Ministry. This is perceived as part of Beijing’s ongoing intimidation campaign against the self-governed island. China has not dismissed using force to integrate Taiwan with mainland China.

Maj. Gen. Huang Wen-Chi from Taiwan’s Defense Ministry emphasized that China is aggressively augmenting its weapons and constantly modernizing crucial coastal military bases. Three airfields in China’s Fujian province — Longtian, Huian, and Zhangzhou — have recently been enlarged.

The surge in Chinese military activity comes after recent challenges to Beijing’s territorial claims by US and Canadian warships navigating through the Taiwan Strait. On Monday, a naval formation led by China’s aircraft carrier Shandong sailed about 70 miles southeast of Taiwan for drills simulating various attacks.

US, UK UNVEIL ‘20 Days in Mariupol’ to the WORLD: A Shocking Expose of Russia’s Invasion

11 September 2023 — The United States and Britain are shining a spotlight on the atrocities of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They’ve organized a U.N. screening of the acclaimed documentary “20 Days in Mariupol”. This film documents the experiences of three Associated Press journalists during Russia’s brutal siege on the Ukrainian port city. UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward stressed that this screening is vital, as it exposes how Russia’s actions challenge the very principles that U.N. upholds — respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Produced by AP and PBS series “Frontline”, “20 Days in Mariupol” presents 30 hours worth footage recorded in Mariupol after Russia launched its invasion on February 24, 2022. The film captures street battles, extreme pressure on residents, and deadly attacks that took innocent lives including pregnant women and children. The siege concluded on May 20, 2022 leaving thousands dead and Mariupol devastated.

U.S ambassador to U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield referred to “20 Days in Mariupol” as a vivid record of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war aggression. She called upon everyone to witness these horrors and recommit themselves towards justice and peace in Ukraine.

The AP’s coverage from Mariupol has drawn ire from Kremlin with its U.N ambassador

CONVICTED KILLER on the Loose: Danelo Cavalcante’s Daring Escape from Pennsylvania Prison

07 September 2023 — Convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, is now a fugitive. After a daring escape from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania, he has successfully evaded capture. The U.S Marshals Service has confirmed that Cavalcante, sentenced to life for the 2021 murder of his ex-girlfriend, is also implicated in a homicide case in Brazil.

Acting Warden Howard Holland unveiled surveillance footage of Cavalcante’s escape during a press briefing. The video captures the moment when Cavalcante scales a wall and braves through razor wire to make his audacious exit.

Cavalcante’s breakout commenced at 8:33 a.m., as he mingled with other inmates in the exercise yard. By 9:45 a.m., prison officers reported him missing—an unsettling indication of severe lapses in prison security measures.

CANADA’S FREEDOM Convoy Trial Begins: Unmasking the Controversial Protest Tactics

06 September 2023 — The trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, organizers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy, commenced on Tuesday. Prosecutors are focusing not on political ideologies but on the protest methods used.

Lich and Barber were arrested in February 2022 following nearly a month of protests in Ottawa. The demonstrators demanded the termination of federal mask and vaccine mandates amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics suggest that their actions extended beyond health measures to challenge the broader Liberal Canadian government.

Throughout their protest, truckers remained stationed outside Canada’s Parliament building, a move city officials labeled as an “occupation”. Over a 13-day trial (with an additional six days in October), The Crown Prosecution will argue that these gridlock tactics constituted dangerous action.

Alongside other organizers, Lich and Barber face charges including mischief, counseling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police. This case represents a pivotal point in evaluating how society perceives and conducts protests.

UNCOVERED: The SHOCKING Truth Behind Scott Johnson’s Mysterious Death in Australia

06 September 2023 — Scott Johnson, a bright and openly gay American mathematician, met an untimely death under a cliff in Sydney, Australia over three decades ago. Investigators initially deemed his death a suicide. However, Steve Johnson, Scott’s brother, doubted this conclusion and embarked on a long journey to seek justice for his brother.

A new four-part documentary series titled “Never Let Him Go” delves into the life and death of Scott. Produced by ABC News Studios in collaboration with Show of Force and Blackfella Films for Hulu, it also sheds light on Steve’s tireless quest to uncover the truth about his brother’s demise amidst Sydney’s notorious era of anti-gay violence.

Upon hearing about Scott’s passing in December 1988, Steve left the U.S. for Canberra, Australia where Scott resided with his partner. He then undertook a three-hour drive to Manly near Sydney where Scott died and met Troy Hardie — the officer who investigated the case.

Hardie insisted that he based his initial suicide verdict on evidence or lack thereof at the scene. He pointed out that authorities found Scott naked at the cliff base with neatly folded clothes and clear identification atop it. Additionally, Hardie mentioned speaking to Scott’s partner who disclosed that Scott had previously considered suicide.

Twitter User @x LOSES Handle After Twitter Rename; Offered Tour and Merchandise as Compensation

31 July 2023 — Gene X Hwang, known as @x on Twitter since 2007, knew his username’s days were numbered after Elon Musk’s recent renaming of the platform to “X.” Upon landing from a pinball tournament in Canada, Hwang found messages notifying him that the company had taken over his handle.

Twitter explained that Hwang’s account data would be preserved and that he would receive a new username. The company offered Hwang merchandise, a tour of its offices, and a meeting with management as compensation.

The change in his account is one of the latest disruptions since Musk’s takeover and the replacement of Twitter’s blue bird logo with the letter “X.”

SEC Charges Crypto Boss Do Kwon With FRAUD for Terra CRASH

17 February 2023 — Regulators in the United States have charged Do Kwon and his company Terraform Labs with fraud that resulted in the billion-dollar crash of LUNA and Terra USD (UST) in May 2022. Terra USD, ironically labeled as an “algorithmic stablecoin” that was supposed to maintain a value of $1 per coin, reached a staggering $18 billion in total value before collapsing to almost nothing within two days.

Regulators took particular issue with how the Singapore-based crypto firm deceived investors by advertising UST as stable using an algorithm that pegged it to the dollar. However, the SEC claimed it was “controlled by the defendants, not any code.”

The SEC’s complaint alleged “Terraform and Do Kwon failed to provide the public with full, fair, and truthful disclosure as required for a host of crypto asset securities,” and stated the whole ecosystem “was simply a fraud.”

BULLISH on Bitcoin: Crypto Market ERUPTS in January as FEAR Turns to GREED

30 January 2023 — Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to have the best January in the last decade as investors turn bullish on crypto after a disastrous 2022. Bitcoin leads the way as it approaches $24,000, up a massive 44% from the beginning of the month, where it hovered around $16,500 a coin.

The broader cryptocurrency market has also turned bullish, with other top coins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB) seeing substantial monthly returns of 37% and 30%, respectively.

The upturn comes after last year saw the crypto market plunge, fueled by fears of regulation and the FTX scandal. The year shredded $600 billion (-66%) from Bitcoin’s market cap, ending the year worth only a third of its 2022 peak value.

Despite the ongoing concerns of regulation, the fear in the market looks to be shifting to greed as investors take advantage of bargain prices. The rise may continue, but savvy investors will be wary of another bear market rally where a sharp sell-off will send prices back to Earth.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried WILL Testify Before the US House Committee on 13 December

11 December 2022 — The founder of collapsed cryptocurrency trading firm FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), tweeted that he is “willing to testify” before the House Committee on Financial Services on the 13th of December.

In November, FTX’s native token plunged in price, causing customers to withdraw funds until FTX could not meet the demand. Subsequently, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

SBF was once worth almost $30 billion and was the second-largest donor to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. After the collapse of FTX, he is now under investigation for fraud and worth less than $100 thousand.
