A Ukraine official confirmed last week that the country pulled from its libraries 19 million books that were either in Russian or were written in the Soviet era as of November 2022. Eleven million of those books are in Russian.Ukrainian parliament’s Humanitarian and Information Policy Committee Deputy Chair Yevheniya Kravchuk said that some books in Ukrainian from the Soviet era have been withdrawn as well, and the government is also now considering banning books by writers who did not support Ukraine in the war."Some Ukrainian-language books from the Soviet era are also written off," Kravchuk on the website of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament."There are also recommendations to write off and remove books whose authors supported armed aggression against Ukraine."It is unclear what was done with the books that were withdrawn.The move came after Ukraine <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-bans-russian-music-and-books/a-62305280">decided</a> in mid-2022 to halt the distribution of Russian books after Russia’s invasion. Books by Russian authors may only be printed if the writers denounce their Russian citizenship and become citizens of Ukraine. Russian literature, such as that written by Alexander Pushkin or Leo Tolstoy, may enter Ukraine if they were printed in a country other than Russia or Belarus.But still, not all such literature is permitted. Last year, Ukraine First Deputy Education Minister Andrey Vitrenko <a href="https://www.rebelnews.com/ukraine_bans_leo_tolstoy_s_war_and_peace_from_being_taught_in_schools">announced</a> that Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” will no longer be studied in schools because it depicts the Russian military in a positive light.It is also <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/19/world/europe/ukraine-bans-russian-music-books.html">forbidden</a> to play Russian music in public, on television and on the radio.Ukraine’s purge of Russian culture comes despite the country’s citizens having strong ties and roots to the culture.A survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showed that one in three Ukrainians speak mostly or only Russian, meaning Ukraine’s “de-Russification” laws are putting those citizens at a disadvantage.Also impacted by Ukraine’s Russia purge are residents of Ukraine’s Donbas region, which remains the area of contention between the two East Slavic countries. The majority of Donbas residents consider themselves Russian and, according to <a href="https://frontline.news/post/germany-persecutes-journalist-for-russia-ukraine-war-coverage/preview">reports</a>, see the Ukraine government as their oppressor with Russian President Vladimir Putin as their hopeful liberator.Censorship has been a major part of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s response to the Russian invasion. In March 2022, a month after the war began, the actor-turned-president <a href="https://frontline.news/post/outcry-as-zelenskyy-bans-opposition-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">signed</a> a decree to nationalize the media by consolidating all TV networks into one state-run outlet so that there will be a “unified information policy".&nbsp;At the same time, Zelenskyy banned 11 opposition parties in Ukraine’s Parliament which he accused of Russia collusion.&nbsp;“The activities of those politicians aimed at division or collusion will not succeed, but will receive a harsh response,” said the embattled president in a video address.&nbsp;“Therefore, the National Security and Defense Council decided, given the full-scale war unleashed by Russia, and the political ties that a number of political structures have with this state, to suspend any activity of a number of political parties for the period of martial law.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Member states Wednesday approved a political&nbsp;<a href="https://www.un.org/pga/77/wp-content/uploads/sites/105/2023/09/PPPR-Final-Text.pdf">declaration</a> on pandemic readiness at the UN General Assembly.The declaration was negotiated by <a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/un-ejects-israel-ambassador-for-protesting-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Israel Ambassador Gilad Erdan</a> and Morocco Ambassador Omar Hilale, and approved during a high-level meeting on “pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”<figure class="image image-style-align-right image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1695389109/i_Stock_1211544115_c0a3a1efe6.jpg"></figure>Among the many calls to action in the declaration is the push toward a final Pandemic Accord which will grant the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, authority to manage future pandemics. The agreement is expected to be signed sometime next year.In the meantime, member states agreed in Wednesday’s declaration to increase vaccinations, which is mentioned 23 times throughout the 13-page document. They also agreed to suppress “misinformation,” “hate speech,” and “vaccine hesitancy” on social media while promoting trust in authorities. The declaration states in part:<blockquote>Take measures to counter and address the negative impacts of health-related misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and stigmatization, especially on social media platforms, on people’s physical and mental health, including countering vaccine hesitancy in the context of pandemic prevention, preparedness and response and to foster trust in public health systems and authorities, including by increasing public health education, literacy and awareness, while recognizing that the effective engagement of stakeholders requires access to timely, accurate and evidence-based information and awareness raising including through the use of digital health tools.</blockquote>Furthermore, countries are to ensure that women are given prominent roles during pandemics and should maintain a “gender perspective” in all aspects of pandemic responses:<blockquote>Commit to strengthening women’s full, effective and meaningful participation in leadership and decision-making processes in pandemics and other health emergencies at all levels, and to mainstream a gender perspective into all policies and programmes, including in budgetary responses.</blockquote>UN member states are also enjoined to ensure, by 2030, that birth control and other life-prevention products are integrated into “national strategies and programmes” and are distributed universally.Another major tenet of the declaration is the directive to adopt the UN’s <a href="https://frontline.news/post/governments-join-who-to-implement-global-one-health-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">One Health</a> agenda, which inseparably links human health to “climate change.”&nbsp;The One Health approach to healthcare dictates that “climate change” is the driving factor behind human health. For example, warmer climates can fuel tick infestations which can bring with them deadly diseases like&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/deadly-climate-diseases-approaching-uk-globalist-spokesmen-warn">Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF)</a>. Changing weather patterns can cause avian flu spread.Therefore, the One Health agenda states that because pandemic diseases are zoonotic and spread from animals to humans, human health must be viewed in the context of animals and the environment or what is called the “human-animal-environment interface.”&nbsp;Regarding One Health the declaration states:<blockquote>Promote international cooperation and coordination in alignment with the Joint Plan of Action for One Health, as appropriate, to support building regional, national and community level capacities, including through the use of a One Health approach, enable diagnostics of comprehensively addressing outbreaks in animals, the environment and humans during both inter-pandemic and pandemic times.</blockquote>One Health, which has been highly<a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/08/one-health-disease-climate-future-pandemics/">&nbsp;endorsed</a> by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/resource-library/one-health-graphics.html">CDC</a>), would prioritize “climate change” over human health in some regard. No sacrifice would be too great to save the climate if it is the chief determinant of the health of all living things. A zoonotic outbreak, therefore, could open the door for climate mandates like lockdowns and forced vaccinations to stop the spread.Indeed, the WHO recently&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/rockefeller-foundation-partners-with-who-to-find-climate-pandemics/">paired</a> with the Rockefeller Foundation to search for “climate pandemics.” It also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/05-06-2023-the-european-commission-and-who-launch-landmark-digital-health-initiative-to-strengthen-global-health-security">partnered</a> in June with the European Commission to develop international vaccine passports as drugmakers&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/vaccine-maker-declares-climate-change-public-health-crisis">call</a> for “climate vaccinations.”The declaration also includes a request for $30 billion toward a WHO “Pandemic Fund.”

'Not only did you not fire Fauci . . . you made him a star' — Kelly 

'I never got the credit I deserved on COVID' — Trump stands by vaccine in interview with vaccine victim Megyn Kelly

United Nations security personnel Tuesday forcefully ejected Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan after he protested a speech by Iran’s president.President Ebrahim Raisi took the podium at the 78th United Nations General Assembly Tuesday where he brandished the Koran and railed against Israel, vowed to continue developing “peaceful nuclear energy," and denounced “Islamophobia.”President Trump sanctioned Raisi for helping massacre 5,000 Iranian prisoners in 1988 and the regime’s execution of 1,500 demonstrators in 2019.During Raisi’s speech, Israel Ambassador Erdan walked towards the podium holding a large photo of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman reportedly murdered last year by Iran’s Islamic police for wearing her hijab incorrectly. On the photo was written, “Iranian women deserve freedom now!”Erdan eventually turned and walked out of the main assembly hall. He was approached by a security officer and stopped to speak with her. But a suited individual who appeared to be a security official grabbed Erdan and shoved him into the wall, demanding his UN identification. Both security personnel then grabbed the ambassador’s arms and escorted him outside the building.<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Israel's permanent representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, was escorted out of the UN General Assembly hall.

For one thing, Erdan was one of the chief negotiators of a “pandemic declaration” approved by the UN Wednesday. The declaration <a href="https://www.un.org/pga/77/wp-content/uploads/sites/105/2023/09/PPPR-Final-Text.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">calls</a> for more vaccinations and for member states to address “misinformation” and “vaccine hesitancy". It also demands that a Pandemic Accord be signed which will allow the World Health Organization (WHO) to oversee all future pandemics. Member states are also enjoined to adopt the UN's One Health Agenda, which links human health to “climate change.”Furthermore, critics say Israel continues to look to the United Nations for validation in hopes that one day the UN will grant the small country authenticity.Israel empowers the UN to decide which historical or holy sites belong to Jews and which belong to Muslims, and to declare whole regions of Israel which are indigenous to Jews as prohibited to them. Despite Israelis being barred from those areas, the UN also requires Israel to sustain those areas with its own resources. In conflict, Israel treats its enemies with absurdly increasing gentility as it tries to earn the approval of the United Nations Human Rights Council.Nevertheless, the United Nations General Assembly and Human Rights Council have condemned Israel more than any other country in the world. Since 2015, Israel&nbsp;has&nbsp;<a href="https://unwatch.org/database/">received</a> 140 condemnations, compared to 64 for all other countries combined.Israel is met with similar treatment when it seeks such validation from related globalist organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO).Israel's enforcement of the WHO’s guidelines during the pandemic was total, resulting in public beatings and fining children for not wearing masks. The country was also the first to offer up its citizens as testing subjects for Pfizer’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine when other countries were skittish about introducing a serum with no real-world data. Israelis became that data which gave rise to forced vaccinations around the world.This should have earned Israel the accolade it has been seeking from the WHO and its parent organization, the UN.Instead, Israel was the only country singled out at the 75th World Health Assembly in May for “violating health rights” after claims that Israeli soldiers and civilians systematically abuse Palestinian Authority (PA) children.“Out of 25 items on the current world health assembly’s agenda, only one focused on a specific country — Israel,” said UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer in a&nbsp;<a href="https://unwatch.org/whos-2023-assembly-once-again-singles-out-israel-as-violator-of-health-rights/">statement</a>.Israel Ambassador Gilad Erdan says that by giving Iran President Raisi a platform to speak, the UN has stooped to “a new moral low.”“The U.N. listens to [Raisi] carefully while so many people are being murdered, killed, suffer because of him and his ruthless regime," Erdan said. The ambassador no doubt still hopes the UN will listen to Israel instead.

Diplomat slams UN while negotiating its 'pandemic declaration'

UN ejects Israel ambassador for protesting Iran

YouTube Tuesday demonetized internet personality Russell Brand after the&nbsp;Sunday Times&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/russell-brand-rape-sexual-assault-abuse-allegations-investigation-v5hxdlmb6">reported</a> that four anonymous women are accusing Brand of sexual assault over a decade ago. Brand has vehemently denied the claims.Brand, who hosts a weekly YouTube show with 6.6 million subscribers, has been outwardly critical of lockdowns, the COVID-19 vaccine, governments, large corporations and mainstream narratives. His smaller YouTube channels total over half a million subscribers. Brand also has a channel on Rumble with 1.6 million subscribers.But YouTube has now barred the former actor from earning money from his channels&nbsp; “following serious allegations against the creator,” the company said.“We have suspended monetisation on Russell Brand’s channel for violating our Creator Responsibility policy,” the Google-owned video platform explained in a statement. “If a creator’s off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community.”“This decision applies to all channels that may be owned or operated by Russell Brand,” the social media giant added.Many are suggesting — as are popular figures like billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk and reporter Tucker Carlson — that the as yet-unproven allegations and ensuing repercussions are part of a coordinated attack on Brand for his influential views.Netizens across social media are sharing a video of Brand which they suggest explains the media onslaught.In an appearance on&nbsp;Real Time with Bill Maher, Brand said "the pandemic created at least 40 new big pharma billionaires” and that “pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1,000 of profit every second from the COVID-19 vaccine.""More than two-thirds of Congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies in the 2020 election," he continued. "Pfizer Chairman Albert Bourla told&nbsp;Time magazine in July 2020 that his company was developing a COVID vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money. And of course, Pfizer made 100 million dollars in profit in 2022.""[Y]ou, the American public, funded the development of that,” Brand said to the audience. "When it came to the profits, they took the profits. When it came to the funding, you paid for the funding.”Trevi Women, a charity which Brand supported through his own Stay Free Foundation, also announced it was cutting ties with Brand over the allegations.Public influential figures who oppose government messaging are often targets of unproven sexual allegations.Tim Ballard, the real-life hero of the the hit anti-pedophile film Sound of Freedom, was recently accused by media of sexual assault against seven anonymous women. Ballard categorically <a href="https://people.com/sound-of-freedom-subject-tim-ballard-responds-to-accusations-of-sexual-misconduct-7971426" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">denies</a> all claims.Elon Musk, who was accused of sexual assault last year after announcing his bid to acquire Twitter (now X), expressed support for Brand in light of the accusations: "Of course. They don't like the competition,” he posted. “I support Russell Brand. That man is not evil,” he added in another tweet.Tucker Carlson, who was accused earlier this year of workplace sexual harassment, wrote, “Criticize the drug companies, question the war in Ukraine, and you can be pretty sure this is going to happen.”Masculinist influencer Andrew Tate, who spent months in house arrest in Romania over sex trafficking allegations and is currently awaiting trial, chimed in, “Welcome to the club,” he posted. “On my way to fight the crazy b***h allegations.”
