‘We Are At War’ – Former UK Spy Chief
Britain is engaged in a “gray war” with Russia, but neither the authorities nor the public are taking the situation seriously enough, the former head of the famed spy agency MI6, Richard Dearlove, has warned.
The UK military isn’t getting enough money to be able to counter the “threats” posed by Moscow and Beijing, Richard Dearlove, who led the British Secret Intelligence Service between 1999 and 2004, said in an interview with Politico on Friday.
The statement followed last week’s announcement of the UK’s budget for the next financial year, in which there was no increase in defense spending. It remains at 2% of the country’s GDP.
”If you stopped anyone in the street here in the UK and asked them whether they thought Britain is at war, they’d look at you as if you were mad. But we are at war — we’re engaged in a gray war with Russia, and I am trying to remind people of that,” the former spy chief said.
The British authorities have “got to make some tough choices, and I’m afraid the tough choices are in front of us right now. We should be spending at least 2.5%” on defense, he insisted.

“We urgently need to be building more ships. We need a much bigger navy. And we need more boots on the ground, for God’s sake,”Dearlove stressed.
The fighting between Russia and Ukraine has shown the importance of manpower on the modern battlefield, the 79-year-old said. The size of the British army had been reduced by more than 26,000 since 2006, and currently has just over 74,000 full-time troops.
Last month, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov accused the UK of being “directly involved” in the conflict between Moscow and Ukraine. He was reacting to a report in The Times which claimed that the head of the UK armed forces, Admiral Tony Radakin, had “helped the Ukrainians with the strategy to destroy Russian ships and open up the Black Sea.” According to Peskov, it is “no secret” for Moscow that the British “provide different forms of support” to Kiev such as “people on the ground and intelligence.”
In February, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the UK has been “even more aggressive, more elaborate in its provocative assertiveness” towards Moscow than any other Western nation during the conflict.

The UK has been one of the leading backers of Ukraine in Europe since the start of the fighting more than two years ago, pledging to provide Kiev with 12 billion pounds ($15.2 billion) in overall support, including 7.1 billion pounds ($9 billion) in military assistance.

Us Issues Veiled Threat To Hungary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is isolating his country from the Western “community of democracies,” US Ambassador David Pressman claimed on Thursday in wide-reaching rebuke.
Ties between the two nations should not depend on “temporary” leaders, the diplomat argued, as he delivered a list of grievances against Budapest.
“While the Orban government may want to wait out the United States government, the United States will certainly not wait out the Orban administration. While Hungry waits, we will act,” Pressman warned.
The ambassador was referring to Orban’s expressed hope that Donald Trump will defeat President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.
Pressman’s speech was delivered at the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, for an event dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Hungary’s accession to NATO. The private institution, founded in the early 1990s by George Soros, has faced a crackdown in Budapest, since Orban accused the Hungarian-born US billionaire of using NGOs to apply political pressure.

The fact that the CEU has relocated its main campus to Vienna, and “moved further to the west as Hungary opened eastward” is significant and “epitomizes the sacrifice of something great in exchange for… talking points,” the American diplomat claimed.
Budapest’s relatively cordial relations with Moscow and its refusal to follow the US lead on the Ukraine conflict were identified by Pressman as major points of contention. Hungary is ignoring the “legitimate security concerns” of the other 31 members of NATO and is “standing with Russia” by advocating a negotiated peace, he claimed, describing the latter as a call for Ukraine’s “surrender and subjugation.”
“This is not the approach of the Transatlantic alliance,” he insisted.
Pressman also blasted Hungarian politicians who use nationalist sentiment in domestic campaigning, and depict the US as a meddling foreign power. He called such remarks “wild rhetoric” and “dangerously unhinged anti-American messaging”, by Orban and his allies.

“We’re not really asking for much: transparency, dialogue, nonpartisanship, and a commitment to democracy would suffice,” the ambassador described what course correction was expected from the host nation. Washington requires NATO members to follow its lead on “big things” and is not objecting, even if they disagree on “most” other issues, he said.

Dr. Alphonzo Monzo Reveals The Dark Truth About Nanowires, 5G, Electropollution & The Borgification Of Humanity
Mike Adams interviewed Dr. Alphonzo Monzo on his Wednesday show. The two discussed advanced genetic modification technology and nanotechnology found within the covid vaccines.
Dr. Monzo discussed teslaphoresis, or the phenomenon wherein certain nanoparticles can be hit with electromagnetic fields and begin self assembling.
“So if they can just get the different types of particles in your body along with an operating system that tells the products what to do, they will start self assembling into different types of technologies, different types of machines or whatever it may be designed to do,” Dr. Monzo said.
Adams discussed how clots removed from the covid vaccinated show high amounts of materials not commonly found in humans, but which are essential in nanotechnology built to respond to EMF stimuli.
“My lab did the first analysis of the clots from the embalmer,” Adams said. “I remember specifically that those clots were very high in tin as well as aluminum and sodium, and those three elements all conduct electricity.”
The doctor theorized the source of this trans-humanism technology.
“I don’t really necessarily think the nanotechnology is manmade, I think it’s demonic,” Dr. Monzo said. “And I think it was technology that was obtained by doing occult activity, demonic, satanic activity, and the technology was handed over.”

NATO Says Fighter Jets Can Carry Nuclear Weapons As Tensions With Russia Reach Breaking Point
As tensions between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia reach a boiling point, the military-industrial complex is now allowing the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter to carry nuclear weapons.
According to a spokesperson for the F-35 Joint Program Office, the stealth fighter is the first of its class to get the green light to carry nuclear weapons, including the B61-12 thermonuclear bomb.
“The F-35A is the first 5th generation nuclear-capable aircraft ever, and the first new platform (fighter or bomber) to achieve this status since the early 1990s,” the source confirmed. “This F-35 Nuclear Certification effort culminates 10-plus years of intense effort across the nuclear enterprise, which consists of 16 different government and industry stakeholders.”
It turns out the nuclear certification for the F-35A arrived sooner than expected, which means the United States and NATO now have a “critical capability that supports U.S. extended deterrence commitments earlier than expected,” the spokesperson added.

Nuclear strikes on three NATO countries
The nuclear certification is sure to push the world even closer toward World War III, as is Sweden’s sudden joining of NATO, which comes after decades of the Scandinavian country remaining neutral.
According to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, “unity and solidarity” are behind the move, and these will act as “guiding lights” for Sweden moving forward.
President Joe Biden praised Sweden’s decision, announcing that NATO now “stands more united, determined and dynamic” because of it.
“Together without our newest ally Sweden, NATO will continue to stand for freedom and democracy for generations to come,” Biden added.
Biden just delivered his State of the Union address to America, as did Russian President Vladimir Putin to his country. In Putin’s address, he warned the West against sending any troops to Ukraine, otherwise there will be a price to pay.
Russian media is also reporting that three NATO countries could be hit by nuclear strikes in the coming days, these being France, Germany and the U.S., according to Russia 1 TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.
On X, formerly Twitter, Russia expert Julia Davis shared a clip of Solovyov’s show, depicting guests pontificating which Western cities should be the first nuclear targets.
“Some of their top choices: Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Hamburg, Munich or Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the United States in general,” Davis said.
Russia continues to prevail over Ukraine and the West, in large part due to national unity and patriotism, says Putin, who called these two things Russia’s most powerful weapon in a recent interview.
“Our most important weapon is the consolidation of Russian society and the attitude towards the Motherland as demonstrated by you and those with whom you serve,” Putin said at recent Kremlin meeting to celebrate the winners of the “Leaders of Russia” contest.
“It’s our most important, most powerful weapon. Those people who expected to suppress us with the help of economic sanctions, they did not take this into account; to understand this, you must be a citizen of the Russian Federation, to be part of our culture.”
The West might have nuclear weapons, but Russia has the nuclear family, which in the end will win every single time over whatever it is the West is heralding as important these days.
“The nuclear family is something that the West can’t comprehend,” one commenter wrote.
“National unity and patriotism are both utterly demonized in the West,” wrote another.
“Coming from western Europe, I had the privilege to visit Russia some times during the recent years,” said another. “Experiencing the culture and attitude – I have never felt so welcome in another country before. Russia, keep being what you are. See you soon again.”

50 Dead After ‘Anti-Witchcraft Rituals’ in African Country
At least 50 people have died in Angola after being coerced into drinking a herbal potion to prove they were not practitioners of witchcraft, police reported on Thursday.
The deaths occurred in the past two months near the town of Camacupa, local councilor Luzia Filemone told national radio, claiming that traditional healers had used a lethal mixture in the procedures.
“More than 50 victims were forced to drink this mysterious liquid which, according to traditional healers, proves whether or not a person practices witchcraft,” Filemone stated.
Some rural communities in the southern African country still have a strong belief in black magic.
“It’s a widespread practice to make people drink the supposed poison because of the belief in witchcraft,” police spokesperson Antonio Hossi said.

There are no laws concerning witchcraft practices in Angola. If individuals are suspected of sorcery, they are compelled to consume a poisonous herbal concoction known as ‘Mbulungo’. If they die as a result, it is considered to be proof of their guilt.
Last month, suspected death-cult leader Paul Mackenzie was arrested for the alleged murder of hundreds of his followers in Kenya. They had committed suicide due to Mackenzie’s preaching that they would encounter Jesus by starving themselves.
According to authorities, 429 bodies and dozens of graves were found in a remote Shakahola forest area. Autopsies revealed that the majority of victims had died due to starvation, but some, including children, had also allegedly been beaten or strangled.
