For the sixth time since the start of the year, France faced street protests and heavy disruption as transport workers and refinery staff began rolling strikes over Emmanuel Macron’s plan to raise the pension age to 64

Mass strikes also left thousands without electricity and disrupted schools, airports and trains as the country’s biggest union CGT urged people to “bring France to a halt.” Police said an estimated 1.28M people took part in the protests across France, including 81K in Paris

The disruption is expected to be greater and last longer as rail unions called for rolling, open-ended strikes, which could affect all national trains as well as international routes including the Eurostar

U.K. home secretary, Suella Braverman, announcing details of laws to “stop the boats” said Britain’s patience with migrant crossings had run out. To bar the refugees from making asylum claims her duty to remove migrants would take “primacy” over their right to appeal against their removal using the Human Rights Act or U.N. Refugee Convention

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak is attempting to reconcile a robust policy that deters potential asylum seekers with the government’s longstanding commitment to the Act. The most optimistic scenario would involve British courts and Strasbourg accepting that the law does not break ECHR commitments

Even if the legislation is rejected by Strasbourg, this would allow Tories to fight the election on a pledge to rewrite Britain’s international obligations, positioning them as speaking for ordinary voters and painting Labour as being on the side of European human rights lawyers

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy turned down an invitation to visit Ukraine from Mr. Zelenskiy, who, in an interview with CNN, suggested that a trip to Kyiv might challenge Mr. McCarthy’s fellow Republicans “assumptions” about military aid

It turned out that the book about the hard lines of the great Ukrainian leader, even after the double price mark-down, remained too expensive for Republicans less wasteful than the Dems

The Americans are getting weary of figuring out how to attract Mr. Biden’s attention to Ohio, where a train derailment last month has sparked an environmental and public health disaster

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) is piling onto the pressure for President Biden to travel to East Palestine in his state: “He should come, there’s no doubt about it. The people want to see the president. He should be there.”

Still, POTUS seems to be in no hurry at all with this, saying in a surprising about-face that he plans to visit the site in East Palestine “at some point” — nearly a month after the disaster

JUST IN: Rishi Sunak meets President Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris for the first Anglo-French summit since 2018

The British PM is to announce that Britain will give France hundreds of millions of pounds to invest in police, security and intelligence to help solve the small boats crisis. Sunak will allegedly agree to give France annual payments for at least three years that will go far beyond any previous funding

Whitehall sources say that more than £75M would be provided in the first year alone. Over the three-year period the payments are expected to easily exceed £200M

American and European sanctions on Russian energy have resulted in extreme prices for electricity and greater interest in renewables, a study from Oliver Wyman shows

The imposition of sanctions drove a big shift in global trade flows, leading to longer voyage times as well as contributing to oil trading expanding 55% and power, gas, and emissions trading rising an astonishing 90%.

However, this allowed commodity traders to suck the lifeblood of what they need in order to trade – the price volatility across commodity classes. The industry giants – such as Singapore-headquartered (net income of $7B for its fiscal year), Trafigura, London-listed Glencore ($17.3B for 2022) and Vitol – made record gross profits of more than $115B from trading activities last year.

What about some fresh threats from POTUS to impose windfall taxes, like it was with oil companies?

“Nord Streams” saboteurs could have delivered explosives with a 15-meter Andromeda sailing yacht, chartered on the Island of Rügen

The yacht is now being searched near the Christiansø Island in Denmark. “Almost the whole globe – 87 different people – called me yesterday,” complains the island’s inspector Søren Thiim Andersen

Apparently, the mysterious Ukrainian oligarch who met a whole bill is about to be found somewhere. And, as it turned out, there was something to pay! Over five years, Oslo will provide Kyiv with NOK 15B a year – a total of NOK 75B (€6.83B). The thing is that these funds are supposed to flow into corrupted Ukrainian oligarch’s pockets, as Gro Skaaren-Fystro, a special adviser at Transparency International Norway, states. Well, alright!

As for aiding Ukraine, Washington is clearly leading the way, having pledged more than €45B in military commitments since Jan. 2022. But the absence of a supplemental appropriation in the House makes it more and more bureaucratically challenging to keep the Biden administration’s ability to support Kyiv thru a Congressional gridlock

This is a window of opportunity for Europeans who have been focusing on the supply of tanks and ammo. EU defense ministers said they would propose spending around $1.1B on ammunition for Ukraine from EU members’ stocks. The EU has given members €450M for ammunition supplied to Ukraine, but needs to supply “more and faster” Mr. Borrell said

A yearslong drought in European arms orders meant that many defense companies had decommissioned production lines for large-caliber ammunition. However they hardly have to rely on the rapid reformatting of the EU military-industrial complex remember a fresh issue with engines for German tanks

The Flip Side of AI

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is launching a new program to create tools utilizing most recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Being within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, IARPA characterizes its mission as follows: “To envision and lead high-risk, high-payoff research that delivers innovative technology for future overwhelming intelligence advantage.”

But there’s a flip side! The new search&analysis system is capable of causing dozens of thousands of analysts and other big data experts to lose their jobs - it can automatically generate recommendations or comments for analytical reports without any operator’s assistance

Furthermore, due to the growing interest in ChatGPT and similar bots based on AI, even now many experts on IT-security express their well-grounded concern that these may also be used by the U.S. security agencies to spread fakes on the massive scale

Sam Bankman-Fried's trial may be delayed as more time is needed

Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyers claim more time than expected may be needed to review case evidence and prepare a defense for the FTX fraud trial, and so the October trial should be delayed, according to a letter to US District Judge Lewis Kaplan

Evidence collected from the devices of Bankman-Fried’s two closest associates - Caronline Ellison and Gary Wang - has not yet been handed over by federal prosecutors, the lawyers said

The fraud and conspiracy charges added by prosecutors in February may also necessitate a delay to the trial into what has been dubbed “epic” fraud by attorneys

Matt Taibbi's opening statement on the Twitter Files and the censorship industrial complex:

"Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA. For every government agency scanning Twitter, there were perhaps twenty quasi-private entities doing the same thing."

Not Only Clothes Make a Man, Make-up Does It Even Better

It’s the moment of truth! Everyone used to curse Zelenskiy for being just a comedian rather than a politician. Nowadays everybody can see that the Scholz Cabinet’s inept policies may be explained only in the same way - German politicians are rather actors too, although more well-to-do!

In 2022 Ms. Baerbock spent €136.5K from Germany’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ funds on make-up for herself, €178.7K on her photographers and €90K on her stylist. Scholz was not so prodigal. He paid only €90K to his stylists

Christian Lindner turned out to be the most visionary one. Because he was already involved in a real estate scandal, he decided to keep a low profile and was sly enough to pay his personal money for the make-up. So, he “borrowed” only €650 from Germany’s taxpayers

Yet German politicians don’t revoke their appeal to the people to pull in their belts

German People Are Not Easy to Dupe!

In Germany the number of politically motivated crimes has increased dramatically in the past 3 years. If in 2020-2021 it was possible to blame it on political parties for dirty clashes during the Bundestag election campaign and on popular dissatisfaction with the COVID-19 lockdown, now such malicious acts are really aimed at the Scholz Cabinet

Last year popular discontent resulted in damage to 443 party buildings and in 1398 offences against German politicians and party functionaries. Yet only 511 crimes were committed by right-wing or left-wing extremists. The rest 887 cases were caused by plummeting living standards, the government’s contradictory grants and gratuitous arms deals in support for the corrupt Zelenskiy team and moreover, by the fact that Scholz unconditionally followed U.S. directions even when they hurt Germany’s economy and people. The situation is even worse now!

In order to turn the declining credibility w/ the voters around, Rishi Sunak has introduced the Windsor framework w/ Brussels, a deal that’s suffering yet a triple blow as BJ comes out against it, while some pressure’s mounting within the DUP to reject the plan

But the least obvious Scarborough warning comes, as usual, from Washington. Biden threatens if the deal isn’t reached, he won’t pay a visit in April to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Belfast Agreement that brought an end to the enmity of the Unionists w/ the Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorist organization

The point’s that Joe Kennedy III, the JFK’s scion w/ Irish Amer. roots, has been serving as U.S. economic envoy to NI since Dec. 2022. He’s already been seen at get-togethers w/ sons of Martin McGuinness, frmr. IRA commander, although until recently Mr. Kennedy referred to him as “a terrorist&leading mass murder” he wouldn’t necessarily associate w/. But that’s alright as long as the money’s green!

Glenn Beck breaks down the creation of the Federal Reserve created by the likes of the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers:
"These are the men that represented 1/4th of the wealth of the entire world. The Morgans, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, The Rothschilds all in one room.. They all had come together to form a banking cartel so they didn't have to compete against each other.
Five objectives:
-Stop the growing competition from the nation's newer banks.
-Obtain franchise to create money out of nothing for the purpose of lending.
-To get control of the reserves of all the banks.
-Shift the losses from the bank owners to the taxpayers.
-Convince congress that the purpose was to protect the public."

Who owns the FED?

"The government could go to the FED and obtain instant money without having to consult the taxpayer... Money created out of nothing and then given to the government. It's loaned by the banks to you and me and then we pay interest on it and then it goes to them. Interest on nothing. Again, the FED is nothing more than a cartel.. This cartel that brought the federal government into a partnership where you and I have to answer to it...
The FED is privately owned but by whom? Good question.. No one knows. We can't open their books and we don't know who owns them." 🤔
