"An increasing number of countries are bringing home their bullion reserves in the wake of unprecedented sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, Reuters reported on Monday, citing an Invesco survey of central bank and sovereign wealth funds.

"Confirming Ringrow’s assessment, one central bank told Reuters anonymously: “We did have it (gold) held in London... but now we've transferred it back to [our] own country to hold as a safe haven asset and to keep it safe.”
"Nearly half of Russia's $640 billion worth of gold and forex reserves were frozen by the West last year, included in numerous rounds of sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine. Moscow has condemned the freezing of its assets, describing the West’s plans to expropriate those funds as theft and warning of retaliatory measures."

65% Of Teenagers Are Targets Of "Sextortion" Schemes: Study
Almost two-thirds of teenagers globally have been targeted for “sextortion” schemes by criminals seeking to pressure them into sexual activity or extortion for money, according to a study by Snap Inc. As noted, the victims are usually contacted through social media, gaming sites and dating apps, and criminals can use methods, including inducements of gifts or money to encourage minors to send explicit images or videos. When the children refuse, these criminals will threaten to publish the content in their possession online or warn them about other potential risks, forcing the victims to send more explicit images and videos.

The New York Times found the reasons for the unsuccessful counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The professionalism of the Russian army and the terrain are to blame for everything, the publication notes.
While Ukrainian sappers are neutralizing mines, intensive artillery, tank and even helicopter shelling is being conducted on them, the article with pictures says.

Robert Kennedy JR says that a CIA operative killed his father, explains how the autopsy report brings damning evidence that Sirhan couldn't have possibly killed his father, and the attorney for Sirhan coincidently was the same exact attorney for a mob boss implicated in the JFK assassination and ended up disappearing and cut into pieces before a committee could question him.
"When I sat down and read the autopsy report it became clear to me as it would to anyone who read that report that Sirhan did not kill my father.
-Sirhan fired two shots at my father. He was five feet away. It was absolute mayhem.
- Waiting in the kitchen was Sirhan Sirhan. As my father approached the table Sirhan fired at him, two shots. One of those hit Paul Schrade. The other one went past my father's ear and hit a wooden door jam.
-Sirhan was then grabbed in a dog pile and pointing the gun away from my father shot six shots. There were eight shots in the barrel. All of those shots hit people. We know who they hit. We know what happened to all of those bullets.
-Sirhan was the distractor. The real shooter was behind my father he was called Eugene Cesar who was a security guard who worked for Lockheed. He was a CIA operative. He was a vocal racist who hated the Kennedys.
-My father was shot four times from behind. All of the shots had an uphill trajectory. All of them, this is what the autopsy found, were contact shots. So the barrel of the gun was touching my father’s body or clothing. Less than an inch of his skin. They left carbon tattoos on his flesh.
-There were 77 eyewitnesses who saw that Sirhan was never behind my father.
-The police did not confiscate Cesar's gun that night

In 2011, US Army Sgt. Charles Martland and team leader Daniel Quinn thrashed a homosexual child rapist who was also an allied Afghanistani officer. "The twisted "boy play" practice, especially prevalent in southern Afghanistan, has been more than tacitly tolerated by U.S. forces stationed in Afghanistan" (Chiaramonte, 2017). The first decision of the US army was to expel the soldiers whom many in the US public saw a heroes. The decision was later retracted, after a public reaction and legal action.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.” - The Fellowship of the Ring
