A landfill on the outskirts of Kampala (Uganda’s capital) contains tons of ‘Covid’ trash: used syringes, masks, gloves are brought in from local clinics. Medical organizations are supposed to dispose of the waste, but they often don't have the money to do so.

‘They mix it together with the domestic waste, mainly food waste, and then it ends up in the mainstream waste,’ says Kabangi Moses Mwigo, commissioner of the Environmental Health Department.

Such a deplorable situation occurs in many countries. According to the WHO, more than 200,000 tons of medical waste ended up in landfills around the world during the pandemic. Watch our new film 'Dangerous Garbage' to learn more about it.

😳 Ex-cop Pastor Thwarts Gunmen in Church with Prayers.

Marquaello Futrell was conducting a service as usual when four masked men walked into his church. The priest's former cop training kicked and he immediately noticed the guns in their waistbands. Staying calm, he told the church staff to close the doors and notify the police. Futrell then addressed the men, saying that ‘God's about to change the plot’ and began to pray for them together with the parishioners. Amazingly, the plan worked. After calming down, the armed men left the church, reported The Ferguson Police Department.

See how the pastor carried out his plan in the video. A brave act, isn't it?

🏳️‍🌈🇮🇱 LGBTQ+ to Blame for Earthquakes - Israeli Rabbi.

Recent quakes in Israel, the consequence of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, are the result of the rise in rights for LGBTQ+ people, claimed Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem Shlomo Amar during a sermon. The rabbi precisely attributed the disaster to the spread of gay marriages in the country, The Jerusalem Post reports. ‘It’s not me interpreting, it’s the language of the Gemara. God said you are shocking your people for something that is not yours,’ added Amar.

While some religions remain neutral in their views, others seem to give in to LGBTQ propaganda. Several churches have already voiced their support of gay marriages and welcomed non-binary priests. Why is this happening? Listen to Aris Balian, an evangelist, in a circle video below to find out. Discover even more on the problem in Pride and Piety.

‘NATO doesn’t want peace and prosperity in Ukraine. NATO wants permanent war,’ says Johnny Miller, a British journalist who’s covered conflicts in hot spots around the world for several years. Though he’s seen the US Army destroy countries in the Middle East, it’s forbidden for journalists to tell Western viewers the same thing is now happening to Donbass.

Only in Hollywood blockbusters does one acquire fame, money, and a prestigious job for exposing criminal regimes. In reality, the opposite is true: foreign war correspondents often can’t return home because they’ll be imprisoned for telling the truth.

Despite this, there are independent foreign journalists working in Donbass right now who are trying to inform Western viewers about what is really going on there. Their reports differ greatly from those reflecting the authorities’ official line.

Today, we’re posting the premiere of 'Donbass: That’s Why I’m Here', which features journalists Mark Bartalmai (FRG), Janus Putkonen (Finland), George Eliason (USA), Vittorio-Nicola Rangeloni (Italy), Johnny Miller (UK), and Julian Assange (Australia).
