VJMPublishing and Bob Wessex review the week that was from an alternative centrist perspective Last week was pretty tough. A lot of fortitude was required, but the best thing about it is that it is over. Here's a look back at Putin's speech and the flooding and looting in New Zealand and the Prime Minister's denial of said looting. We also peek at climate change and academic fraud. 1 Putin's speech https://www.bitchute.com/video/vn3BF2VLQAjx/ (my recording of his speech in English) http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/70565 2 New Zealand Prime Minister's denial of looting https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/early-edition/opinion/kate-hawkesby-govts-denial-of-any-looting-in-hawkes-bay-smacks-of-a-jacinda-type-approach/ 3 Actual looting/violence https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO2302/S00101/army-needed-to-restore-law-and-order-in-hawkes-bay-region.htm 4 Is it really climate change?
