Such an investigation would “achieve nothing,” the Swedish Foreign Ministry told the agency

There is no need for an international investigation into the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 natural gas pipelines, Sweden’s Foreign Ministry has told RIA Novosti news agency.

Last week, China’s deputy envoy to the UN, Geng Shuang, called for a probe into the September 2022 blasts that ruptured the pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Germany and the rest of Europe. Countries should work together on an investigation “to bring the perpetrators to justice in order to prevent the reoccurrence of similar incidents,” Geng said.

When asked about Beijing’s proposal by RIA Novosti on Friday, the Swedish Foreign Ministry insisted that “there is no need for an international investigation. It’s going to achieve nothing.”

“An investigation into the incidents was carried out by the Swedish authorities in accordance with the fundamental principles of independence, impartiality and the rule of law. Other national investigations are still ongoing,” the ministry stated.

Sweden conducted its own probe as the explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines occurred in the country’s exclusive economic zone. Germany and Denmark carried out separate inquiries. However, in February, the Swedish and Danish investigations were aborted. Stockholm said it had come to the conclusion that the case did not fall under Swedish jurisdiction, while Copenhagen concluded that “there was deliberate sabotage” of the pipelines, but found insufficient grounds to pursue criminal proceedings.

Russia is carrying out its own investigation into the Nord Stream blasts despite the refusal of Western nations to cooperate. Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov said earlier that Moscow had sent more than a dozen requests for legal assistance to Germany, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden, but only received a single formal reply from Copenhagen.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and other officials suggested previously that the pipelines were targeted by the US or on Washington’s behalf.

British government has no problem with Ukrainian forces using UK weapons to strike at targets inside Russian territory, Cameron says

The UK has committed to what might be called ‘forever aid’ in Ukraine’s defense, with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron newly promising $3.74 billion of annual military aid for Kiev for “as long as it takes”.

He unveiled the plan Thursday, and it marks the biggest commitment in foreign defense aid rollout for Britain thus far in the war (and perhaps in all of history), coming on the heels of the Biden administration also seeking to erect a 10-year plan to assist Ukraine which theoretically would lock in future US presidents as well.

“We will give 3 billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We’ve just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment,” Cameron told Reuters in an interview on a visit to the Ukrainian capital.

“Some of that [equipment] is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I’m here,” he said. Alarmingly, he openly stated that the British government has no problem with Ukrainian forces using UK weapons to strike at targets inside Russian territory.

“Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it’s defending itself,” Cameron said.

“It’s absolutely crucial, not just in terms of the weapons it will bring, but also the boost to morale that it will bring to people here in Ukraine,” the UK top diplomat continued in the remarks given upon his second visit to the war-ravaged country as foreign secretary.

Cameron was at one point asked whether a potential future Trump administration could negatively impact the flow of aid to the Zelensky government.

He responded: “It’s not for us to decide who the Americans choose as their president. We will work with whoever that is.” NATO officials have reportedly been attempting to “Trump-proof” any future aid.

Last Sunday, Zelensky himself signaled as much in a nightly video address, saying that he’s working with Washington on a bilateral security agreement which would last ten years. “We are already working on a specific text,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all.”

“We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next 10 years.”

He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. “The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership,” Zelensky added.

But as we’ve been detailing, Ukraine’s problem currently is not fundamentally a question of funding or weaponry, but of manpower. Soon it may not have enough troops to operate the sophisticated weaponry being shipped in by the West, given the daily bad news from the front lines.

Manufacturers of lab-grown meat want you to think it’s the same as normal meat, but it isn’t

Lab-grown meat is back in the headlines this week, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signing into law a bill that makes it illegal to sell or produce lab-grown meat in his state. Three other states are mooting similar laws. So what’s the big deal with this “food of the future”? Here’s everything you need to know.

Of all the so-called “alternative proteins” or “foods of the future”, it’s lab-grown meat that seems to invite the most visceral reaction of disgust. Sure, “plant-based meat” doesn’t sound particularly appetising, but it’s made from things that are ubiquitous in today’s food chain—plant protein like soy and plant oils like canola, mainly—with some extra ingredients, including, in the case of Impossible’s flagship “ground meat”, a genetically modified soy product called “heme” which makes the burger “bleed” when it’s bitten into. Many people’s first reaction to “plant-based meat” is still just to say, “Plant-based meat!? How can you make meat from a plant?” (The answer, of course, is that you need an animal to do that. Anyway.)

Insects may be disgusting, but at least they’re natural. At least you actually find bugs out there, in the real world, even if the bugs our globalist overlords want us to eat will be bred in enormous factory farms, such as the facility under construction by French firm Ynsect in the Midwest, rather than gathered from under rocks and logs by schoolkids.

Lab-grown meat, by contrast, is not a natural product. It isn’t meat as you or I know it. Of course, its manufacturers want you to believe it is—but they’re lying, and with good reason.

While it’s true that lab-grown meat, unlike “plant-based meat”, actually is made with real animal cells, it’s generally made with a type of animal cell—so-called “immortalised cell lines”—that human beings, and all animals in fact, have absolutely no history of consuming. Ever.

In basic terms, the difference between normal animal cells and immortalised cells is that normal cells have a finite life, whereas immortalised cells, as the name suggests, just go on and on replicating, potentially forever, so long as they continue to be kept under the right conditions (the right temperature, adequate food, sufficient removal of waste products, etc.). In this respect, immortalised cells, and lab-grown meat, are functionally indistinguishable from cancer.

This has been a source of huge embarrassment for makers of lab-grown meat like Upside and GOOD Meat, both of which have now served lab-grown meat to the paying public in the US, after receiving FDA and USDA approval to do so. A Bloomberg piece on the subject reported that these companies flat out refuse to discuss the use of immortalised cell lines with the press, which is a tacit admission of just how serious a problem they consider it to be. They think they can make the problem go away if they just don’t mention it, which is why I make use of every opportunity I can to tell people, on Twitter, in media appearances and in my long-form writing, what lab-grown meat actually is.

Don’t get me wrong. Lab-grown meat isn’t tumours per se. Some immortalised cell lines really are tumours. The very first immortalised cell line, the HeLa line, was and is cancerous. The cells were extracted from the uterine cancer of an African-American woman called Henrietta Lacks at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore in the 1950s. Henrietta Lacks may have died not long after the sample was taken, but her cells have been replicating ever since (if you want to know more, read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks).

When actual cancer cells aren’t used, normal cells can be forced to become immortal through the use of enzymes, radiation, genetic engineering and other methods. Sometimes, in rare cases, cells just spontaneously become immortal, through a genetic mutation. A small number of tissues other than cancers also naturally replicate endlessly, such as early-stage stem cells.

Immortalised cells are favoured for various forms of research, and for the manufacture of lab-grown meat, because once you’ve harvested them, you don’t have to go back and harvest more. This saves time and cost. Immortalised cells taken decades ago from the kidney of an aborted fetus were used in the manufacture of some of the COVID-19 vaccines.

For lab-grown meat, immortalisation also allows the makers to claim that their product is “cruelty-free,” which is a key unique selling point: once you have an established animal cell line, you never need to take another sample, meaning that no more livestock need to be raised or slaughtered to make your product. Meat no longer means murder.

Or, at least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. In reality, as I’ll tell you in just a moment, things aren’t that simple, and ethical vegetarians and vegans aren’t actually going to be able to eat lab-grown meat until there’s another way to make it, which doesn’t look like it’s going to appear any time soon.

What matters, as I was saying, is that humans and animals—lab-grown meat is also being targeted as a pet product—have no history of consuming immortalised cell lines. We just don’t know whether it’s safe to eat, and I’m not the only one to say this. Experts say this too; although the experts who were involved in the certification process for Upside and GOOD Meat’s products don’t seem to have raised this issue. I’ve read the FDA filings for GOOD Meat’s “cultured” chicken product, and it’s just assumed that it’s exactly the same as the meat you’d get from the butcher or supermarket. For the regulators, the key issue was the nutritional profile (protein, fats, carbs, micronutrients) and potential contamination with pathogens during the laboratory process, not whether the animal tissue itself might be harmful—something we have no way of knowing unless long-term feeding studies are carried out, which they won’t be.

But the FDA’s processes for ensuring the safety of novel products and ingredients are famously lax, essentially allowing the companies behind the novel products and ingredients to dictate the terms and provide the required data themselves. One academic paper on the subject described the FDA system as being like “the foxes guarding the hen house.”

Now, I mentioned that with lab-grown meat, the “cruelty free” epithet may be deceptive. It is. Josh Tetrick, the CEO of GOOD Meat, loves to make the claim on Twitter that his lab-grown chicken is “slaughter-free”, but the truth is that slaughter is still an integral part of making lab-grown meat, and it’s likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.

An essential ingredient in the manufacture of lab-grown meat is something called “fetal bovine serum” (FBS). This is blood extracted directly from the hearts of cow fetuses, often while they’re still alive, on the slaughterhouse floor. FBS is an essential part of the growth medium used to create lab-grown meat. It contains special hormones and other substances without which you simply can’t get cell lines to grow in the right way. FBS is also extremely expensive, costing thousands of dollars a litre. For this reason, users of FBS are constantly looking to create artificial alternatives to it, but so far they’ve totally failed. While only small quantities of FBS are used in the manufacture of a batch of lab-grown chicken, it’s still there, leading to the absurd situation that although no chickens need to be slaughtered to make the product, pregnant cows and their calves do. Again, this is a problem manufacturers of lab-grown meat just don’t want to talk about.

GOOD Meat also doesn’t want to talk about its supply chain, for similar reasons. Earlier this year, I discovered that the company manufacturing GOOD Meat’s chicken product, JOINN Biologics, is a Chinese-owned company that has ties to the Chinese military’s biowarfare program and is involved, through its parent company JOINN Laboratories, in breeding large numbers of animals, including primates, for lab experimentation.

Another large helping of absurdity is added to the mix: Yes, no chickens are slaughtered to make GOOD Meat’s product, but cows and their calves are, AND monkeys must be bred and sold for a life of excruciating torture. I thought this was supposed to be an “ethically superior” product!? I guess not.

The absurdities and iniquities of lab-grown meat, which its manufacturers are well aware of, point us toward its true purpose. Lab-grown meat is a “food of the future”, not because it is more ethical than real meat, but because it is corporate-owned. You can’t patent a chicken, but you can patent lab-grown chicken. Proprietary control over their products is what corporations want, and it’s what they’ve been working tirelessly to achieve for the best part of a century. This is exactly what happened with the transformation of the American food system from one in which people consume whole foods to one in which people consume factory-made processed foods, and it’s exactly what’s been happening with the more recent introduction of genetically modified products into the food chain. Corporations have achieved a staggering degree of ownership over the food we eat, but even that isn’t enough. There are always new “ownership envelopes” that can be opened.

The Great Reset vision of a “Planetary Health Diet”, in which a global population of 10 billion people is fed a largely uniform diet made up of plant foods supplemented by novel proteins, is one that sees no place for farming and food production as it’s taken place for the majority of the last 10,000 years. If the globalists succeed, we will have handed over the food supply in toto to corporations. I’ve written about this vision at length in my latest book, The Eggs Benedict Option, and I’ve tried to outline credible ways we can resist and instead return to eating in the manner of our ancestors.

One obvious thing you can do is not to eat lab-grown meat. But you don’t strike me as the type that would anyway.

“I think they’re more interested in putting solar up than repairing it.”

The green new deal and switch to “alternative’ energy looks like it’s going exactly as planned: costing the taxpayer trillions of dollars and generally pissing everybody off.

That was the case with a number of solar panel owners who are now finding it difficult to get their panels serviced, according to WBAL TV.

Solar panel installation is touted as offering benefits like reduced energy costs, environmental friendliness, and significant rebates. However, many homeowners have discovered a concerning issue within the industry: addressing technical problems can be exceedingly challenging — if not outright impossible. 

Those interviewed shared experiences with various solar providers, each facing prolonged unresolved issues. 

Tom Lucas, who installed solar panels in 2018, initially saw higher electricity production. Yet, by 2022, 20% of his system failed, leading to considerable losses. Despite having a 25-year warranty from Invaleon Solar Technologies, the issue remains unaddressed.

Lucas commented: “I’ve been totally ghosted. All I want is a working system. To me, even though I’m generating some electricity, it’s not right.”

Lucas added: “They’re a sales-oriented company. All solar companies are. They want to sell the next job. They want to get that installed and move on to the next sale. They’re not service-oriented.”

Steve Pilotte, an early solar adopter, has experienced ongoing problems since 2009. His current provider, Sunrun, has been unresponsive in fixing an inverter issue that started in 2020, despite multiple technician visits.

“Once again, in 2022, I followed up with them. And then 2023. And January 2024. I’m totally lost. I’ve never experienced a situation like this in my life.”

Mike Rice, who leases from Spruce Power, saw his electricity costs drop significantly until 2023 when his meter malfunctioned. Despite the fault, Spruce has not compensated him for the energy lost during peak production times.

“No one called me to tell me my system is out. Not even credits. I’d just take credits so I can offset my future bills, but they won’t do that,” Rice said.

“I think they’re more interested in putting solar up than repairing it,” he concluded.

Russian interior ministry has listed the Ukrainian president among people suspected of committing a crime

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appeared on the Russian Interior Ministry’s wanted list on Saturday. The exact offense he is charged with remains unclear.

The ministry’s website says the Ukrainian president is wanted under an article of Russia’s Criminal Code and contains his full name and photograph, as well as his date and place of birth. No data has been released about criminal proceedings against him.

The development comes a day after the head of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, Aleksandr Litvinenko, was also put on Russia’s wanted list. He took the position over from his predecessor Aleksey Danilov in March. In this instance, too, no charge details have been specified.

In April, Litvinenko claimed it was necessary to launch drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, to exert “pressure” on Moscow. He described this tactic as a key element of Kiev’s strategy. 

Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev of employing terrorist methods throughout the ongoing conflict between the two neighbors. Last month, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said threats by Zelensky to destroy Russian civilian infrastructure were proof of his government’s terrorist intentions.

Peskov was responding to the president’s statements concerning the Crimean Bridge, which has already been targeted in two major bomb attacks, each leading to several civilian deaths.

Political tactics that have served as the basis for some of the student demonstrations are the result of many months of training with longtime activists and support from left-wing groups

The ongoing pro-Palestinian protests by US students were preceded by months of training with experienced activists, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Saturday.

On Friday, US media reported that at least 2,000 people had been arrested across the United States in recent weeks for their participation in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.

The political tactics that have served as the basis for some of the student demonstrations are the result of many months of training with longtime activists and support from left-wing groups, WSJ reported, though adding that there is no central command controlling the pro-Palestinian student movement.

A few months before the spark of the protests, demonstration organizers at Columbia University launched consultations with such groups as the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and veterans of the student protests, the newspaper reported.

The NSJP has reportedly urged US students to stand against those colleges that invest in ventures that conduct business with Israel until they abandon this policy.

Numerous pro-Palestinian demonstrations have rocked college campuses across the US in recent weeks as protesters are urging an end to US military, financial and diplomatic support for Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, which have resulted in the deaths of more than 34,600 Palestinians. 

Students are also calling on their universities to condemn Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, to divest from companies linked to Israel and discontinue programs of study abroad at Israeli universities.
