THIS IS HOW MUCH NATO COUNTRIES SPEND ON "DEFENSE"

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (#NATO) exists for the sole purpose of facilitating a political and #military alliance between almost 30 countries.

All are obligated to one another in times of war, but some countries have much stronger militaries and defense systems than others.

Using data from #NATO, this map reveals what each #NATO member country spends on its own national defense.

Obviously the US spends more on defense than any other NATO country.

According to the 2021 estimates, US defense spending will be close to $811 billion this year.

On the other hand, the defense spending of all other NATO countries combined is projected to be $363 billion, meaning the U.S. will outspend all other countries by a whopping $448 billion.

NEW ZEALAND: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CORONER’S BILL IS AN ATTEMPT TO COVER-UP SUDDEN DEATHS

A report produced by #NewZealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (“#NZDSOS”) on the #Coroner’s Amendment Bill has brought up serious questions about investigations into deaths in New Zealand.

A deceased person is usually referred to a Coroner when a medical doctor is not able to write a death certificate because they are not confident of the cause of death or are not comfortable with the circumstances surrounding the death.

This Bill proposes to allow a legally trained person to sign off the cause of death as “unascertained natural causes” when a medically trained person is unable to do so.

That sounds fishy and the people of New Zealand think so too if the submissions are anything to go by.

A spokesperson for #NZDSOS said:

“It is clear on glancing through the submissions [to the Justice Select Committee], New Zealanders see this amendment as a cover-up attempt, either by accident or design"

Well, ....... it was until now 🤷‍♂

“BODILY AUTONOMY IS NOT ABSOLUTE”

Last week Rice University’s Baker Institute hosted the Texas #Vaccine Symposium, at which multiple speakers addressed various topics related to vaccines, as you’d imagine.

One of those speakers was #ValerieGutmannKoch, a #lawyer and " #BioEthicist", whose talk warned of the “unvaccinated becoming a protected class” and how:

"Ultimately these efforts pose a significant threat to national and global public health and could establish dangerous precedents that limit the effectiveness of future vaccination campaigns".

She concluded “bodily autonomy is not absolute”, and warning of the “danger” of #Covid:

"The right to individual autonomy is not absolute and may be limited in circumstances where individuals pose a risk to others.

The risk of #COVID-19 transmission and harm to others is great, particularly for at-risk individuals and communities."

A "#disease" with a 99.85% #survival rate isn’t much of a “#risk” to anyone.

EU Parliament Wants To Abandon NordStream Pipelines the Driver of European Industry

Establishment parties in Brussels vote for doom

FRONT NIEUWS - October 15, 2022

It is now be official: #NordStream1 and 2 will not be repaired.

Last week the EU parliament already voted on the further procedure with the two pipelines.

Without much ado they simply decided to abandon the project, with even the German political parties #CDU/#CSU, #SPD, #Greens, #FDP and Free Voters voting in favour.

This means: a further rise in gas prices and an acceleration of the #deindustrialization of #Germany and #Europe, reports Wochenblick.at.

Europe on its way to the abyss:
#Germany, #Austria and all of Europe are suffering from the suicidal sanctions against #Russia.

The industry goes bankrupt or migrates to the US, which lures German entrepreneurs with cheap energy and good conditions, traditional companies that have already survived economic crises and two world wars will not survive the impoverishment program of the system. 

The fate of Germany as one of the most important industrialized countries is thus sealed.

This vote shows very clearly that the old political parties are simply not interested in promoting the interests of their own country, and even of Europe. 

They have opened the door to ever-increasing poverty and stabbed their own citizens in the back.

The article below was written 8 months ago, in February 2022.

Given the recent #US #sabotage of the #NordStream project, the article clearly was prophetic and is worth reading for that reason alone

THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE IS NOT ABOUT UKRAINE. IT'S ABOUT GERMANY
Mike Whitney - February 11, 2022

“The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us.

And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.”
- George Friedman, STRATFOR CEO at The Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs

The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine.

It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2.

Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn.

Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go.

Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin.

German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues.

It’s a win-win situation for both parties..... MORE
