🐓 France is adding €36 billion to its defense budget through 2030, bringing the total to €449 billion

Key focus: munitions stockpiles (drone inventory up 400%, Scalp cruise missiles up 85%), air defense, and a nuclear warhead expansion.

Annual spending hits €76.3 billion by 2030 nearly double 2017 levels.

footnote : This resurgence of tension over energy prices is hitting a french society already at its breaking point:

according to a study by INSEE, published on Wednesday, April 15, 13.5% of the population (or about 9 million people) now live in a situation of material and social deprivation. A record level in twelve years that paints a picture of France where work is no longer enough to protect against social exclusion and where social inequality is becoming a systemic risk for consumption."

The Economist doesn't usually use the word "apocalypse" lightly. The fact that they put it on the cover with that illustration means that the topic has moved from academic debate to the mainstream financial world in the Anglo-Saxon sphere.

This is no longer alarmism from popularizers: it's the magazine that the #ECB, the #IMF, and the boards of directors of the world's major companies read.

🇵🇸 Israeli forces opened fire on activists aboard the #Girolama vessel, one of the ships in the #Gaza-bound Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla, during a live broadcast by Turkish activist Omer Aslan. The incident took place in international waters in the Mediterranean before communication with those on board was lost.
Organisers later said all vessels in the aid convoy had been illegally seized by Israel.

Lubricant Shortage Will Grind Agriculture to a Halt [VIDEO]

The well-oiled machine of American agriculture may grind to a halt due to widespread lubricant shortages triggered by the Strait of Hormuz disruption. From Toyota and Nissan's warnings to a leaked internal memo from AutoZone, the crisis is now hitting retail and industry hard. Experts warned this was coming in March, naming agriculture and trucking as critical sectors at risk. In this video, I break down exactly how the shortage hits our food supply and how the technocrats are already positioning synthetic “food as software” as the solution.

Now is the time to stock lubricants, grow your own food, and build real resilience!

Putin in China, UK sabotage? Merkel returns. 24 hour TACO. Lithuania demands NATO attack Kaliningrad

The other day, a piece briefly appeared on the front page of Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, and it was quite literally gone within 1-2 hours; not ‘gone’ as in deleted, but ‘vanished’ from the main page.

The use of medications for cardiovascular disease has skyrocketed among people as young as 18 in both Norway and Sweden.

*Last year, 37,700 more people aged 18 to 44 used medicines for cardiovascular disease, compared to 2019.

*In the 18–24 age group, there is an increase of 57 per cent over the past five years [2020-25, a quite easily discernible accounting trick used by public health officialdom, which permits ‘masking’ of any effects that may or may not have occurred after 28 Dec. 2020].

*Among those aged 30–34, the use of these medicines has increased by over 63 per cent in the same period.

“The Tick Thing Is Nuts”

Joe Rogan - “A Good friend of mine got bitten by a tick and now has that Alpha Gal syndrome”

“He can only eat eggs & vegetables”

Tim Burchett:- “It’s Bill Gates”

This psychopath never stops finding new ways to harm us…! 🤬🤬🤬

Congressman Tim Burchett confirms on Joe Rogan that Bill Gates is behind the massive increase in ticks

Now we have a whistleblower who says pilots are being paid to drop ticks by aircraft

This matches accounts in America of tick boxes being found

“We are paid to spread ticks by air. It happens twice a year, early spring and early fall. This year we've been hired to do it earlier. The company receives the ticks in boxes. Each box contains millions of ticks. The aircraft used are generally single or dual prop aircraft, single pilot, and There's one other passenger that handles the dispersal. It pays a lot, and I mean a lot.”

“Here we have a whistleblower saying that they are paid to disperse ticks across Canada. Now, this sounds eerily familiar to what we're hearing about these boxes of ticks that are being found” in America

The Gates Foundation funded a biotech firm called Oxitec for research on genetically modifying cattle ticks

Farmers claim to be funding “boxes of ticks”on their properties

Lyme disease cases are skyrocketed right at the time when a Lyme disease vaccine is actively in the works

So without the ticks, they can’t sell their vaccines

You’ll never guess who’s making it, Pfizer and Valneva
