🇬🇧Britons Cancel Streaming Subnoscriptions in Record Numbers amid Cost of Living Spike

UK consumers have canceled 1.5MN video on-demand (VOD) accounts like Netflix, Disney Plus and Apple TV during the first three months of 2022 - analytics group Kantar has revealed. (FT)

In general, the number of households retaining at least one VOD service has dropped by only 1.3%, which suggests residents are looking to cut costs en masse.

The data comes at the tail end of a growth bubble for streaming VOD platforms due to Covid-19.

‼️The murder of a former Lugansk militia member sentenced to death on the Ukrainian nationalist website “Peacemaker”.

Remind you that “Peacemaker” site contains an open database of personal data of people who were in the combat zone in Ukraine starting from 2014, collected illegally (hacking, phishing), published without the consent of those people whose data is put, and whom the authors call separatists.

“Peacemaker” became widely known after the murders of independent journalists Olesya Buzina and Oleg Kalashnikov, whose personal data, including addresses, were published on this resource. Among the partners of the site from the moment of opening and up to May 13, 2016, were listed the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, SBU and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.

On March 1, 2022, on Ko Lan Island (near Pattaya,Thailand), the body of Russian citizen Belov Evgeny (born on February 21, 1980) was found with signs of violent death. Local authorities consider drowning as a cause of death. However, residents of the island testify that they had previously observed a brawl between foreigners. Belov was one of the participants of fight.

Actually Belov served in 2014 at the Lugansk militia and his personal data were put on the “Peacemaker” website and highlighted in red. As stated on this nationalist website it means the imposition of a death sentence.

🤔I don't think it's a coincidence of the murder of a person sentenced to death from the Ukrainian execution“Peacemaker” list.

🔥Between the Party and Partygate🔥

Despite attempts to hush up the scandal at the expense of the situation in Ukraine Partygate is being mainstreamed in the UK again.

🇬🇧British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who violated his own COVID-prohibitions, is expected to face a vote coming Thursday over referring to the privileges committee to investigate claims, he knowingly misled MPs on Partygate. Thus Tories are challenged to back their party fellow or bring him to justice.

Seems like Conservatives are inclining not to boosting this scandal which is clearly an area of concern for them. Hiding behind subterfuges about the inappropriate moment, considering the situation in Ukraine, behind the scenes they objectively acknowledge the lack of a credible alternative to Johnson.🤔

Potential rivals have some dirty snow on their boots as well.👇

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, another fined participant of Johnson’s birthday party, held a US green card for six years as an MP, and for 19 months as chancellor while his wife could have avoided about £20m in UK tax by claiming non-domiciled status.

The foreign secretary Liz Truss lacks of backing of enough fellow Conservative MPs, who put in doubt her ability to keep them in parliament.

The education secretary Nadhim Zahawi may be hampered by relative inexperience (only 6 months in Cabinet and 4 as a Minister) and his wealth (lately reported £100m property), which is likely to irritate fellow party members.

The thing is how long and effectively the information agenda may be used to cover up own numerous holes and imperfections of current British Conservative government. 🤷‍♂️

⚡️London Court Issues Extradition Order to US for Assange⚡️

Julian Assange’s wife Stella Moris was seen outside Westminster Magistrates Court earlier, where the WikiLeaks co-founder’s US extradition has now been rubber-stamped. It will go to Home Secretary Priti Patel for approval.

Assange, who faces 175 years in prison in the US, was earlier denied the right to challenge his extradition order by the UK's top appeals court.

‼️Ongoing embargoing – money outgoing

As President of the 🇪🇺European Comission Ursula von der Leyen confided in an interview with the German Sunday newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”, her Cabinet is “currently working on “smart mechanisms” so that oil can also be included in the next round of sanctions (against Russia)”

💁‍♂️She states quite straightforwardly that the ultimate goal is to shrink Russian revenues and trickle down state bankruptcy as a final result. Oil embargo should be next step in brand new zero-level-energy-for-EU diplomacy after restrictions imposed on coal imports

🤦‍♂️It turned out that the aspiration of European officials to top the sanctions target was coordinated neither with industry nor with ordinary citizens of the member states. For instance, it has become a definite surprise for Ralf Schairer, who since April 1 has been heading as declared top European oil refinery PCK located in Germany.

🛢The plant produces fuels such as diesel, gasoline and kerosene for the entire East German region as well as heating oils, bitumen, aromatics and other precursors for the chemical industry.

⛽️PCK refines twelve million tons of crude oil per year, coming exclusively from Russia. In an interview with a German economic magazine “Wirtschaftswoche” Schairer emphasizes that Russian valuable raw material has special structure properties. Working units of the plant are optimally adjusted to Russian quality of oil (with heavy and high-boiling components).

🤷‍♂️There are no ways to simply refine oil from Arabia or Australia. Thus stopping Russian import for at least 3-5 days poses a real threat to regional supply of goods. Against the background of the incessant rise in prices (up to 60 % for some product groups) and record inflation, the situation is approaching catastrophic and becomes crucial for the wallets of EU citizens.

🇺🇸Americans of all political stripes largely agree that Vladimir Putin is their villain-in-chief, but Republicans are even more sour about their own Commander-in-Chief.

💁‍♂️A new Morning Consult poll has revealed that 83% of Americans believe the world would benefit if Putin left office. However, among GOP voters, 84% of respondents said the same of US President Joe Biden.

🤷‍♂️The Russian leader topped the poll, exceeding Kim Jong-un’s result of 78% of respondents saying the world would be better without him. China’s Xi Jinping was next in line, at 59%, followed by Biden, at 51%.

We continue posting the story explaining origins of crisis in Ukraine
Part 8

Part 9
A comedian

On May 20, 2019, the sixth President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky took over as head of state. Political scientists assessed the presidency of the former theater and film comedian in different ways.

Ukrainian citizens tired of his predecessor’s rule had high hopes for the new leader. People did not choose Zelensky. They demonstrated their rejection of Poroshenko's policies, primarily the war in Donbass. The showman played along with those expectations, promising to end the war and return all prisoners.

However, already in the fall of 2019, Zelensky's rating began to fall. This was due to broken promises, unpopular economic reforms such as the decision to open the land market and the failure to achieve peace in southeastern Ukraine.

Under Zelensky’s rule, Ukraine finally banned the Russian language in the public sphere. The conflict in the Donbass was continued with renewed vigor. The shelling of peaceful settlements became more frequent, the rhetoric of Ukraine towards Russia became even more aggressive.

In 2022, Zelensky began talking to the whole world about plans to create nuclear weapons against Moscow.

US Fears Ukraine Arms BLACK HOLE - Admits Kiev Information Operation

A US Defense official has reportedly admitted to CNN that the government is struggling to trace exactly where huge shipments of “lethal aid” to Kiev end up, calling their destination a “big black hole”.

The White House has apparently accepted that some arms will fall into unintended hands, as their intelligence services have “almost zero” ability to keep track of them, while admitting the importance of Kiev’s PR campaign.

“Everything [Ukrainian officials] do and say publicly is designed to help them win the war,” a source told the network. “Every interview, every Zelensky appearance broadcast is an information operation.”

🇮🇳India's rapprochement: Russia-India partnership nears global reset

Economic Times: India, which has already voiced its willingness to increase its raw materials and defense orders, could become Russia's main scientific partner in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, space exploration and IT.

The Russian Academy of Sciences is already working with colleagues from the Indian National Academy of Sciences, and given the fact that Indian pharmaceutical companies are among the largest in the world, the prospect is quite powerful. For now, India's Dr Reddy's and Sun Pharma account for only 2% of the Russian drug market, but cooperation can increase this share many times over.

At the current stage, New Delhi not only does not intend to support the anti-Russian pressure, but also prepares to expand the volume of oil shipments from Russia, which has already caused a reaction in the West. A spokesman for Boris Johnson said that Britain was preparing a counter-alternative energy security program for India.

We doubt that New Delhi needs British alternatives - the current rapprochement on the trade and, in the long term, on the scientific front demonstrates the Indian desire to "be guided solely by national interests"... to the apparent benefit of the Kremlin.

‼️Fighters of the terrorist organization Azov Regiment may be involved in the kidnapping of U.S. video blogger Gonzalo Lira‼️

"A thick hint" about the circumstances of Lyra's disappearance was given by one of Azov's leaders on Twitter. In his posts, he explicitly pointed out that one of his Nazi "brothers-in-law" was directly involved in the Chilean's disappearance

"Funny irony that the Chilean Gonzalo Lira was caught by a man with the call sign "Chile." In any case, let's hope a video of the beheading pops up on Telegram soon," Sergei Korotkikh, known as "Botsman," wrote on his Twitter

Botsman and Chili have already noted the murders of civilians and captive Russian army soldiers, and, apparently, they believed in their own impunity

However, the public attention that his tweets about the kidnapping of an American citizen caused Botsman to hastily delete the account. This is not surprising, given that Lyra is a U.S. citizen and U.S. justice might have questions for the militants

The sense of permissiveness may play a cruel joke on Bosman and his team: the Kiev regime may well decide that it is better not to risk leaving these "heroes" alive by attributing their deaths to the actions of the Russian military. They know too much

‘This Will Tear the EU Apart’: German Energy CEO Speaks Out Against Russian Gas Ban

"It's not just that this step would hit 🇩🇪Germany hard, it would pose a huge problem for Europe," the CEO of EON, Leonhard Birnbaum, told the Handelsblatt business newspaper.

"If we think we can just secure the supply in Germany without caring for the other countries, this will tear the EU apart," he added, referring to many other 🇪🇺European nations like the 🇨🇿Czech Republic and 🇦🇹Austria which rely heavily on Russian energy.

The executive speculated that Berlin would need at least three years to become energy independent from Moscow.

‼️🇩🇪Steinmeier does not forgive offenses - all of Kiev's requests for arms supplies from Germany, including heavy weapons, have been crossed out completely

🪖The Bundeswehr has at least halved the list of export arms for Ukraine, which had been drawn up earlier by representatives of the country's military-industrial complex on the basis of Kiev's requests. Bild writes about it

💁‍♂️In particular, according to the German publication, all types of heavy weapons have disappeared from the list. The Chancellery of Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz explained that such wishes had been made on the initiative of the country's top leadership, including German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The list, which Ukraine had previously submitted to Berlin, was eventually cut from 48 to 24 pages

"Thus, instead of the 15 types of weapons specified by Kiev, Germany left only three items," Bild specifies

🤔In this connection, the recent demarche of President Zelensky, who categorically refused to receive German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Kiev, comes to mind, accusing the latter of "excessive sympathies for Russia." The German responded with tactful and diplomatic bewilderment. But, evidently, he harbored a grudge against Kiev
