Signs of the Times - Best of the Web

Yesterday

Democrats and the mainstream media have been aggressively denouncing the Maricopa County, Arizona election audit from the beginning. At first I didn't understand why. I thought that it was because they were afraid of what the results would be, but I now believe it's something far worse. The Democrats aren't "just" afraid of the outcome - but they're afraid that the audit results will be irrefutabl
Lebanon has been suffering the worst economic crisis in decades. In fact, it could be ranked as one of the world's three most severe financial crises since the mid-19th century. The latest newsletter from Father Daniël - who survived the attempted take-over by jihadis in Syria - included an interview with Sister Carmel van de H. who has been involved in delivering humanitarian aid in Lebanon.

On the surface, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, Joe Biden, didn't agree on very much when they met on Wednesday for talks, but getting along isn't actually as important as trying to work together. If they had a healthy partnership, Moscow and Washington would be able to work together as the world's two most foremost nuclear powers to put in place a framework with cle

Of all the questions asked, words spoken, and ink spilled on the so-called "Capitol Siege" of January 6, 2021, none hold the key to the entire event quite like the question Sen. Amy Klobuchar asked of Christopher Wray. The Democrat from Minnesota asked the Trump-appointed FBI Director: Did the federal government infiltrate any of the so-called "militia" organizations claimed to be responsible for

The government ran an exercise modelling the impact of a coronavirus outbreak four years before the Covid-19 outbreak but tried to keep it secret, the Guardian has learned. The previously unpublicised Exercise Alice took place in 2016 involving officials from Public Health England (PHE) and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), and envisioned an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndr

'If the Aztecs seem unrecognisably alien to the modern mind, it may be that the modern mind does not recognise itself in the Aztecs. We cannot understand the Aztecs because we do not want to understand ourselves' - John Gray, The Soul of the Marionette In his magnificent book Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma and the Last Stand of the Aztecs, historian Buddy Levy describes the reaction o
This week's number of reported adverse events among all age groups following COVID vaccines surpassed 329,000, according to data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The data comes directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

Two arrested after man shouted 'down with Macronism' before assaulting French president Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face by a man during a walkabout in southern France. The president's security detail immediately pulled the man to the ground and moved Macron away from the crowd, though the president appeared unhurt and determined to continue meeting the public. Afterwards, the French leader
The sun and moon combined to create a dazzling ring of fire over northern Canada early Thursday during a rare annular solar eclipse that was at least partially visible across much of the country. Early risers captured spectacular footage of the eclipse, which played out around 6 a.m. over much of Canada.

Blizzards have dumped more than half a metre of snow over parts of New South Wales over the last 48 hours as towns and cities shiver through record-breaking temperatures.

The Department of Homeland Security on Friday issued a new warning bulletin, alerting Americans that domestic extremists may well use violence on the 100th Anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre. This was at least the fourth such bulletin issued this year by Homeland Security (DHS) warning of the same danger and, thus far, none of the fears it is trying to instill into the American population has
There are now two types of people: Loyalists, who meekly obey all the new rules being brought in under the cover of Covid, and Resisters, who don't. Our freedom rests on more people realising the truth of what is happening. The European Union's executive commission has just announced the introduction of a pan-EU digital identification that citizens of member states can use across the entire bloc t
Throughout 2020, the notion that the novel coronavirus leaked from a lab was off-limits. Those who dared to push for transparency say toxic politics and hidden agendas kept us in the dark. I. A Group Called DRASTIC Gilles Demaneuf is a data scientist with the Bank of New Zealand in Auckland. He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome ten years ago, and believes it gives him a professional advantage

Senior SNP ministers have been accused of "deeply irresponsible" scaremongering after doctors said there is no evidence to back up their claims that young children may be more at risk of developing serious illness if they catch new Covid variants. Paediatricians intervened on Thursday to reassure parents after John Swinney, the Deputy First Minister, said that the government was investigating whet

A year ago, the idea that Covid-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan - a short distance from the wet market that is usually claimed to be the source of the virus - was dismissed as a crackpot theory, supported only by Donald Trump, QAnon and hawks on the right looking to escalate tensions dangerously with China. Now, after what has been effectively a year-long blackout of the lab-leak theory by the corpo
Mt Hutt has had a dumping of fresh snow and ice as the severe weather sweeps across the South Island. Two to three months of rain pelted Canterbury in the space of a few days in the deluge. Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie said four to five metres of snow fell at the summit between Monday and Tuesday. About 40-50cm has also fallen at the base. He said they were having access issues getting
Editor's Note: This article has been amended to note that 11 of 13 vaccinated subjects in a recent Ogata study had detectable protein from SARS coronavirus in their bloodstream including three people who had measurable spike protein. Whereas the article referenced a statement from Professor Bridle's group stating that spike protein was present for 29 days in one person, the study in question state

What a day! What beautiful people! What a kick in the teeth for the establishment! And not a mask in sight - except from the police who were forced to wear them. Poor things. Were you there? If you were you might be able to spot yourself in one of these pictures from the march and rally that yesterday brought central London to a standstill. Or perhaps you can spot the poster you designed and carri

A hint of crazy things to come may be playing out in the Arizona desert — and it involves a giant species of cactus. Saguaros, which can live for centuries and grow to nearly 80 feet, have erupted in spring blooms that are spreading far beyond the norm. It's almost as if the plants are breaking out in a rash of blooms. This is happening in the Sonoran Desert and experts suspect it may be an exampl
Israelis had every reason to be optimistic - we were the first country in the world to achieve mass vaccination against Covid-19 and, thus, "normality" seemed within reach. Alas, a digital vaccination ID called the "Green Pass" was introduced as a prerequisite for returning to normal life. The Israeli Ministry of Health used two reasons to justify the need for this Green Pass: first, to enable and
A month ago, I mailed a letter to all the parents of my daughter's New York City private school, Brearley, asking them to speak up against the school administration's illiberal and indoctrinating antiracism initiatives and divisive obsession with race. That letter went viral and has helped bring about much needed attention to the explosive adoption of critical race theory throughout our country. H

As official government data is emerging in Europe and the USA on the alarming numbers of deaths and permanent paralysis as well as other severe side effects from the experimental mRNA vaccines, it is becoming clear that we are being asked to be human guinea pigs in an experiment that could alter the human gene structure and far worse. While mainstream media ignores alarming data including death of
Beijing has called on the US to provide an explanation for a respiratory disease in northern Virginia and a large-scale outbreak of e-cigarette disease in Wisconsin after Washington launched a new probe into Covid-19's origins. Speaking on Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian asked the US to reflect on its own role in the pandemic and not "dump" responsibility on China alone. C

RT speaks to propaganda scholar Matt Alford, who in April 2019 had a major study of how the mainstream media systematically distorts, misrepresents, and whitewashes Western foreign policy, canned just prior to publication. As the article was literally about to go to press, the Conversation - which claims to offer "informed commentary and debate on the issues affecting our world" - put his groundbr

What Belarus did, while illegal, is not unprecedented. The dangerous tactic was pioneered by the same U.S. and E.U. officials now righteously condemning it. U.S. and E.U. governments are expressing outrage today over the forced landing by Belarus of a passenger jet flying over its airspace on its way to Lithuania. The Ryanair commercial jet, which took off from Athens and was carrying 171 passenge
Arctic air continues to descend unusually-far south, while Antarctic air continues to ride anomalously-far north. The culprit is low solar activity, namely its weakening of the jet streams, and the upshot is COOLING across the lower-latitudes (where us humans reside).

Don't look out the shorts and sun cream just yet... With just days left until the start of June, Scotland was hit by snow. And while we all wait for summer to finally arrive, forecasters have warned we're on course for the coldest May in more than 40 years. Srdjan Lulic found himself a bit exposed at the Cairngorm National Park, near Aviemore, Inverness-shire, as he headed out for a stroll with gi

We hear so much in woke Britain about 'hate crime' and how terrible it is. But right now, we're in the midst of an extremely nasty campaign against those who don't wish to take a Covid vaccine and somehow that's deemed acceptable. "The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pret

Update(3:03pm): In the last hours there's been massive escalation as Hamas and Islamic Jihad has unleashed wave and wave of rockets on central Israel, and targeting Tel Aviv. Hamas has announced that it launched 130 rockets on Tel Aviv and central Israel through its TV channels moments ago. While it's unclear if this is exaggerated, rockets appear to be landing across Israel,
