(and under USAID, PEPFAR was not just giving people with HIV medicine, but pushing anti family/pro promiscuity sex ed in schools and social media, including the gay rights agenda on conservative Catholic and Islamic countries but don't expect that to be reported, since the MSM sees conservative family customs in these countries as something to be destroyed, not encouraged)
the WHO Treaty that proposes they get the power to bully every country on what to do when the next epidemic hits us is going to be passed: And they are pushing the rule around to sneak it into place.
Why is this important? Because the WHO, who has done excellent work in the past, proved they were incompetent in their response to covid.

and then you have the follow the money report LINK
a quick google shows lots of article denying that this will interfere with the soverignty of individual nations, so no use in questioning grok who only gathers invormation from these official news sources.
the UKTelegraph last year admits that it doesn't officially interfere wit your sovereignty, but notes that like the climate change stuff that is being forced on many countries, it let you be pressured into it.
Now it is true that agreeing to this in a treaty does not give away British sovereignty. That’s because in our constitutional system treaties cannot change our domestic law unless Parliament specifically agrees – as it did on the EU exit treaties. Parliament can always refuse to implement an international legal obligation, and governments can always act contrary to international law.
How easy that is in practice – that is, not easy at all – we have discovered in the past few years. First with the UK Internal Market Bill, then the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, and now with the Rwanda saga, the Government has either shied away from breaking international law or been blocked from doing so by its own backbenchers.
And that is the problem with this treaty, too. Our sovereignty is not formally affected, but we are taking on an international law obligation to work with the WHO system. When the next pandemic comes, government lawyers, MPs, and commentators will say “you must do what the WHO says, or you are breaking international law”.
Residents of quake-hit isle in southern Japan begin evacuating
Residents of Akusekijima island in the remote and sparsely populated Tokara chain began evacuating voluntarily early July 4 following a strong earthquake the evening before.
The southern Japan island chain has been hit by an earthquake swarm over the past two weeks.
earthquakes are common in Japan but this one is making experts worry:
and then you have this manga prediction making some who believe in prophecies worried;
.....
so should we here in the Philippines worry? if there was a superquake in that area, it would affect not just Japan but Taiwan and the Northern Philippines.
What is happening seems to be a slow slip earthquake...
The article notes that these small earthquakes are not only in the Tokara Isalnd area but in the in Southwest Japan, because the news notes that an earthquake swarm continues near Ryukyu Island
The earthquakes are making the government advise people to take precautions but there already has been an impact: Lost tourism.
“The real disaster will come in July 2025,” followed by “the ocean floor between Japan and the Philippines will crack,” aren’t exactly very comforting words to see on a book said to have previously and accurately predicted natural disasters.
“The Future That I Saw” by Ryo Tatsuki, first published in 1999, gained notoriety after a baseless premonition, “massive disaster in March 2011,” ended up coinciding with the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
the good news?
seers don't always get things right: One famous lady predicted the big one for Manila in 2024, only to have a minor tremor occur, which of course these minor tremors happen all the time...but of course if the prediction is vague enough or you make enough predictions, eventually one will happen.
well, anyway, right now the problem is a tropical storm bringing oodles of rain into Luzon, and we are worried the rain will wash away the rice seeds that we recently planted.
Traditionally farmers plant seedlings for the main harvest, but the price of rice is so low that we literally can't afford to buy and plant (by hand) the seedlings. But even the farmers who planted seedlings could see their crop endangered:
Sigh.
oooooooooooooooooooooo
follow up: Lots of small earthquakes but no major earthquake or tsunami yet as of July 9
Trump has made peace between India and Pakistan, DRC and Rwanda, and is busy trying to make peace in the Ukraine.
But what about Gaza?
Hamas says it is studying new proposals for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, after US President Donald Trump said Israel had agreed to a proposal for a 60-day truce.
and he points out the political reality of the BBBill, which is too expensive and too huge:
And an important point about DOGE is that while yes, it saved money, it’s biggest impact was to defund the government-funded left — which turns out to be most of the left, especially the activist left — thus preparing the battlespace for other issues down the line.
Elon, et al., are right that the debt is an existential threat, but you can’t get at the debt and at spending without first taking apart the coalitions that created the problem. That’s what Trump is doing.
Photo from Little Things website which has more information on the figurines history and how they became popular collector's items after World War II.
in the USA, many people have one of these figurines: And a lot of people have small collections of them.
but what they might not know is that the figurines were based on drawings by a German nun Maria Innocentia Hummel who was a teacher who drew and painted in her spare time;
The sisters were impressed with her art and sent copies to ...a publishing house in Stuttgart which specialized in religious art, to which Hummel reluctantly agreed. The company decided to release copies of the works in postcard form, which were popular in the early 20th century....
Soon afterward, Franz Goebel, the owner of a porcelain company, was looking for a new line of artwork, and happened to see some of these postcards in a shop in Munich.
One would think Hitler would have been pleased with her art, but he hated it:
Leading Nazis attacked the art, denouncing the depiction of German children as "hydrocephalic, clubfooted goblins". Although the Nazi authorities allowed Hummel to work, they banned the distribution of her art in Germany.
The Nazis closed all religious schools, and she live in poverty in the convent during the war, supporting the sisters left behind with money from her art work.
Sister Maria Inncensia Hummel died after the war of tuberculosis.

BehindtheBlack reports that the Webb Telescope has discovered a new phenomenum:
Using the WebbSpaceTelescopeastronomers have begun to compile a small catalog of what they call “little red dots” [LRDs], objects in the very early universe that are very small, too small to be galaxies and are thus a mystery.,,
The present most popular theory to explain the dots...is that the dots are newly formed black holes, their red light caused by material falling into the hole at millions of miles per hour.
That theory has of course problems. For example, it doesn’t explain why we don’t see these dots in more recent times. Nor does it explain why the dots are dim in X-rays, a radiation expected from accreting black holes.
The peace deal negotiated by the US/(Rubio) and Qatar has elicited a yawn by the western Mainstream media
but the history of atrocities in that area from western colonialsm are also ignored , as are the Arab slave trade to Muslim countries that went on for centuries before the west decided to stop that slave trade, but then let a vacuum for western sociopaths to do the same thing).
We know about these atrocities because western witnesses, often missionaries, documented what was going on. Bernardo DeLasCasas comes to mind but the Catholic Mambo press doumenting the civil rights abuses under the white regime when I worked in then Rhodesia comes to mind. (the publishing house is Mambo press: Mambo means Lord, not the dance of the west). Alas the horrors didn't stop with getting rid of the white Smith Government: the Gukurandi and Operation Murambatsvina come to mind. But next to the atrocities in Rwanda and central Africa, one has to admit that these are not the worst things happening in post colonial Africa.
Hence my interest in the new peace deal there.
a good summary of the sins of colonialsm can be heard in this podcastwhich has a series about King Leopold's fiefdom that decimated what is now the DRCongo. Listen and shudder.
and what stopped it was the courage of a bureaucrat who saw it and became a whistle blower, inspiring others to check what was going on:
.....
the story has gotten some publicity thanks to a recent non fiction book. King Leopold's Ghost, but it is the novel by Joseph Conrad that might make it harder to bury history, because novels are forever:
\
the famous quote from that book: The Horror The horror could be applied to many other horrors of the twentieth century, as was done in the film Apocolypse now which was inspired by Conrad's book.
of course, atrocities were not only done by the west nor were atrocities against innocent civilians limited to colonialist powers: The horrors of the Gulag, the many civil wars and atrocities of Chinese imperial and nationalist and communist governments, come to mind....and don't forget the Islamicist massacres: Armenia anyone?
Among all the democide estimates appearing on this website, and in the table on the lower right, some have been revised upward. I have changed that for Mao's famine, 1958-1962, from zero to 38,000,000. And thus I have had to change the overall democide for the PRC (1928-1987) from 38,702,000 to 76,702,000. Details here.
I have changed my estimate for colonial democide from 870,000 to an additional 50,000,000. Details here.
Thus, the new world total: old total 1900-1999 = 174,000,000. New World total = 174,000,000 + 38,000,000 (new for China) + 50,000,000 (new for Colonies) = 262,000,000.
