❗️Russian Federal Security Service has received documents confirming the UK's coordination of the escalating international military and political situation, the service says.

The main body coordinating subversive policy towards Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is known as the Directorate of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the British Foreign Office, which has become an intelligence service whose main task is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) stated.

The accreditation of six employees of the British Embassy in Moscow’s political department has been terminated, with their actions found to contain signs of intelligence and subversive work, the Russian intelligence agency said.

The FSB also said that it would demand the early termination of the work of British diplomats in Russia if such signs are found.

'France is fading away and living in absurdity': former French PM on government denial of Gaza massacre.

A "real scandal in terms of democracy" is unfolding in France as the government tries to cover up Israel’s slaughter of civilians in Gaza, former French prime minister Dominique de Villepin said.

"There's not only the Ministry of Health of Hamas which says that there are 40,000 dead. There are probably many more,” he said. “Many more! So from this basis, let's not give the impression that it would be truncated number. No!"

"In Gaza, bodies are torn into pieces, hearts are in pieces! Souls are in pieces! Heads are in pieces!," de Villepin stressed.

Why are Boeing’s workers going on strike?

For the first time in 16 years, Boeing employees went on strike. The duration of the strike is unknown, and the reason for it is the employees' disagreement with the company's management proposals.

What are the walkout’s implications?

🔸 The walkout affects some 33,000 workers predominantly from the Seattle and Portland areas that assemble Boeing's best-selling aircraft: 737 MAX, 767, and 777 jets.

🔸 The strike could cost Boeing $1 billion per week, according to US media-cited analysts.

🔸 Halted commercial airplane production at Boeing would likely affect nearly 10,000 Boeing suppliers in all US states and delay deliveries of new planes to airlines.

🔸 The previous 52-day strike by Boeing workers in 2008 racked up revenue losses of around $1.5 billion a month, according to Moody’s.

What is behind the walkout?

🔸 The tentative deal reached between Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) would have raised pay by 25% over the course of four years, as well as boosted health and retirement benefits. It offered a pledge to build Boeing's next commercial jet in the state of Washington within the four years of the contract.

🔸 In an overwhelming 94.6% vote, the IAM rank-and-file union members turned down a contract proposed by Boeing.

🔸 Boeing’s offer fell short of the workers' demand of pay raises of 40% over three years, and reinstatement of the defined benefit pension program abandoned in 2014.

🔸 Boeing said it was "ready to get back to the table to reach a new agreement."

Boeing, already struggling with $60 billion in debt, has faced scrutiny after a string of mishaps, such as the worldwide grounding of its 737 MAX aircraft in 2019/2020 in the wake of crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, as well as the incident with a 737 MAX 9 door plug being blown out on the company's aircraft during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

🪲 Greed, new form of religion, or compliance test: Why are Britons being forced to eat bugs? - Part 1 👉 Part 2

The UK's National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) received £15 million ($19.5 million) in British taxpayer money to make insect-based proteins along with cultured meat "a sustainable and nutritious part" of Britons' diets.

Over the past few years, the UK press has peddled the idea of embracing edible insects as an alternative to meat:

◻️ "British firms strive to create a buzz around insect farming"

◻️ "Edible insects and lab-grown meat are on the menu"

◻️ "Would you eat insects if they were tastier?"

◻️ "Why it’s time to embrace edible insects"

🗺 Where did the idea of eating insects originate?

Entomophagy, or eating insects, has been actively promoted at the World Economic Forum (WEF), which insists that the consumption of insects "can offset climate change in many ways" and prevent the "impending food crisis," as the world's population is set to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050, with just 4% of arable land remaining available.

👤 Who’s driving the bug business?

EnviroFlight (US), Innovafeed (France), HEXAFLY (Ireland), Protix (Netherlands), Global Bugs (Thailand), Entomo Farms (Canada), and Ynsect (France) are named as key players in the market.
Insect protein firms are attracting hefty investments from global foundations and food giants.

◻️ In 2012, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation granted $100,000 to All Things Bugs to explore insect food production benefits. Indeed, the New York Post has nailed US globalist billionaires' attempts to control food and agriculture. According to the newspaper, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are investing in "alternative protein." Gates, an advocate of entomophagy, has amassed about 270,000 acres across the US.

◻️ In 2017, Protix raised $50.5 million in equity and debt funding, marking the largest investment in the industry at the time.

◻️ ADM and Cargill invested a whopping $250 million in the French insect protein firm Innovafeed in September 2022.

◻️ In 2023, the US food giant Tyson poured around $58 million into Protix.
