A new KFC campaign being run in Canada has sparked a flurry of criticism on Twitter after photos of billboards were deemed racially insensitive. The global restaurant chain has long used its slogan, “It’s finger lickin’ good,” and in the new advertisement, the company utilizes a witty attempt at proving it. Azim Akhtar, the director of marketing for KFC Canada, excitedly shared images that depicted the reflections of two Black men and a woman of color in silverware as they ate chicken and licked their fingers. “Sorry, utensils. It’s finger lickin’ good. Latest campaign, I couldn’t be more proud!” he tweeted on Aug. 24. The marketing effort was applauded by many for creatively playing off the slogan, which dates back to the 1950s. But Black people in particular expressed disappointment, criticizing KFC for approving a marketing plan that perpetuated racist stereotypes. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kfcs-finger-lickin-good-campaign-111305741.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Some cops in San Francisco will have to look elsewhere for their leavened goods after Reem's California, a local bakery chain, said it is enforcing a policy not to serve anyone armed. The San Francisco Police Officer's Association responded on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that Reem's — a local bakery chain — had recently denied service to an officer who was in uniform. ""NO COPS ALLOWED. That's the confirmed policy of the bakery chain Reem's," the union said in its post on August 24. The post included a screenshot of an email from Reem's sent to the association that said the company has a policy "to not serve anyone that is armed in a uniform." https://www.yahoo.com/news/san-francisco-bakery-refusing-serve-195543538.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

The recent plane crash that occurred in Tver region was reason enough for western media outlets to launch a huge wave of disinformation campaign, sharing unsubstantiated narratives and rumors. The aim is to gain attention from Western public opinion and to portray Russia's image negatively, thus "justifying" the war policy against Moscow. The tragedy happened on August 23, when an Embraer 135BJ Legacy 600 jet traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed in Tver. There is still no precise information about what motivated the accident, with suspicions of both an attack in the air and sabotage with planted bombs. More details are expected in the coming days as the investigation progresses. http://infobrics.org/post/39191/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Forty percent of greenhouse gases emissions in the United States come from 10% of the country’s wealthiest households, according to research published in PLOS Climate. PLOS Climate is an open-access journal that aims to advance the understanding of climatic patterns, processes, and impacts with open research from diverse perspectives. According to the study, which analyzed household income data from 1990 to 2019, 40% of total U.S. emissions were associated with income flows to the highest earning 10% of households,” while GHG emissions among the bottom 90% had decreased. It also adds that income from the top 1% was “linked” to upwards of 17% of GHG emissions. The study, which progressive researchers conducted, suggested remedying this “emissions inequality” via “an alternative income or shareholder-based carbon tax.” Doing this may aid in “raising revenue for climate finance,” they wrote. It’s also worth noting that the richest people in America are self-described climate activists despite pumping out large volumes of GHG emissions. https://www.dailyfetched.com/americas-wealthy-elites-responsible-for-40-of-emissions-while-lecturing-everyone-on-climate-change/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

This is about a Norwegian man named Trond Harald Haaland. He has long been outspoken about things like the World Economic Forum, climate change and vaccine passports. He has posted a lot about the excess death rates we have been seeing after the roll out of the mRNA vaccines. In other words, this is a man who does not believe the mainstream media narrative. He thinks for himself. And he has been actively criticizing the Norwegian health system for what happened during the pandemic. Among other things, earlier this year he sent a letter to a very senior doctor in his region to demand a stop to covid vaccination of children 5 to 11 years old. https://www.europereloaded.com/norway-locked-man-in-psychiatric-ward-for-questioning-mrna-shots/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump writes that Republicans are much more likely to believe false things when it comes to health-related issues, including COVID-19 and vaccines. Never mind that the main challenger to Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket is a famous anti-vaxxer. All we know is what the media tells us. COVID came from raccoon dogs and spread to people, but they developed a vaccine that the president himself insisted would prevent you from getting and spreading the coronavirus. Oh, and speaking of health, we've recently been regaled with articles about how the "far-right" is obsessed with fitness. <a href="https://twitchy.com/brettt/2023/08/22/wapos-philip-bump-says-republicans-more-likely-to-believe-false-things-about-covid-vaccines-https://twitchy.com/brettt/2023/08/22/wapos-philip-bump-says-republicans-more-likely-to-believe-false-things-about-covid-vaccines-n2386505 If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

A wildfire raging on Tenerife was started deliberately, officials have said. The number of people forced to evacuate their homes since the blaze broke out on Wednesday has reached more than 12,000, after it spread across northeastern towns and villages. Canary Islands regional president Fernando Clavijo said police suspected arson and had opened three lines of investigation, but did not reveal whether there had been any arrests. https://news.sky.com/story/tenerife-wildfire-thats-forced-thousands-from-homes-was-started-deliberately-say-officials-12944311 If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Think back to the scene in Schindler’s List where Kraków Jews are forced to build their own prison housing at the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp. Diana Reiter, one of Kraków’s first female architects, insists they are incorrectly pouring the cement foundation. She tells fellow Jews and Nazi guards that, if they continue, the buildings will soon fall as the foundation will not hold the structure. Overhearing the commotion, Reiter is brought to Amon Goeth, commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in what is now German-occupied Poland. By this time, everyone has stopped working. Goeth quietly and intently listens to Rieter, who introduces herself and shares her architectural background. She quickly explains the problem and how to remedy it. When she has finished, Goeth nonchalantly takes out his gun and shoots her, instantly killing Rieter. Then, annoyed, Goeth turns to the other Nazi guards and tells them to redo the cement foundation in the that way Reiter had described. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/the_sinister_reason_why_democrats_are_after_trump.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

You would think such a law to stop child sex trafficking would be a no-brainer, but Democrats don’t appear to think so. Democrats in the Assembly’s Public Safety committee voted down the bill in July, then after outcry and pressure from Governor Gavin Newsom, legislators reconsidered and passed it out of committee. But on Wednesday, Senator Shannon Grove’s AB 14 was moved into the Assembly Appropriations Committee’s “suspense file.” “The Appropriations suspense file is a committee procedure where a bill with a fiscal impact of more than $150,000 is held by the committee chair while considerations are made if it should be passed or retained based on the cost,” Grove said. https://www.dailyfetched.com/california-democrats-refuse-to-pass-law-making-child-sex-trafficking-a-felony/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Twenty two nations have formally applied to become members of the BRICS economic bloc, a South African diplomat said. An equal number have also informally sought to join the organization that groups Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, Anil Sooklal, the bloc’s ambassador from South Africa, told reporters in Johannesburg. Sooklal has previously said that countries including Saudi Arabia and Iran have formally asked to become BRICS members, while countries that expressed an interest in joining include the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Egypt, Bahrain, Indonesia and others. http://infobrics.org/post/39106/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Brandon Herrera (Republican Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent Texas' 23rd Congressional District. Herrera declared candidacy for the Republican primary scheduled on March 5, 2024. Herrera's surprising announcement will likely be met with overwhelming support from his 2.8M Youtube subscribers as well as countless constituents of District 23 who feel betrayed by their current representative. https://brandonherreraforcongress.com If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

San Francisco, a city once known for its vibrant culture and iconic landmarks, has now become infamous for its urban decay. The city’s decline, marked by rampant drug use, prostitution, theft, and even daylight murder, has been a topic of national conversation. Now, in an unexpected twist, this grim reality is being turned into a tourist attraction. For a mere $30, you can embark on a walking tour that takes you through the heart of San Francisco’s urban decay, aptly named the ‘Doom Loop’.

Time and time again throughout 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci, stood at the podium, the bright lights of the cameras blinding him as he faced the nation. With a steady hand, he held up a vial of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, promising it would be the key to protecting America and its children from the “deadly” Covid-19 disease supposedly ravaging the country. But little did the public know, the truth about the Covid vaccine’s safety had been buried deep within Fauci’s own lies and deceit and confidential U.S. Government and Pfizer documents. Fauci used propaganda, lies and manipulation to coerce parents into getting their children vaccinated. https://expose-news.com/2023/08/10/fauci-lied-120k-children-died-covid-vaccine/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

The Kiwi “Voice” bureaucracy, otherwise known as “co-governance” operatives, are on a vandalistic rampage against “colonial vegetation” ie the century-old oak, pine and other European tree species that partially cover old volcanic cones across the city of Auckland. Strangely enough, the indigenous wildlife doesn’t mind perching or nesting in exotic tree species but they don’t get a say in this and, ironically, have lost swathes of their habitat as the rabid neo-Marxists attack the imperialist trees that invaded the pristine landscape a century or so ago. In Auckland a “co-governance” body called Tupuna Maunga Authority (TMA) is now in charge of these little mountains. They are made up of six tribal (iwi) representatives and six representing “the other people of Auckland”, as they are officially referred to. The non-Maori representatives are people who are actually elected council representatives. The “iwi” are appointed by themselves because they are at least part indigenous, and this makes them special, apparently. https://cairnsnews.org/2023/08/08/kiwi-voice-bureaucrats-destroying-colonial-trees-in-auckland-parks/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Joe Biden gets lost walking around stage, but he seems to know his way around your house — and he recently made three moves to make your life harder. Every few days, the Biden administration announces some heavy new regulation designed to eliminate some everyday appliance or amenity that make our lives more bearable.

All infants under 8 months of age should get a new antibody shot to protect against severe respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, according a recommendation from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A panel of independent experts that advises the agency – the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, known as ACIP – voted unanimously on Thursday to recommend the injection, which will be added to the CDC’s childhood immunization schedule now that CDC director Dr. Mandy Cohen has signed off on the recommendation. In a second unanimous vote, ACIP also recommended that certain infants ages 8 to 19 months get a second dose of nirsevimab to help them through their second RSV season, if they have underlying health issues that put them at higher risk for hospitalization. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/03/health/rsv-infant-nirsevimab-beyfortus-acip/index.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Russia together with fellow BRICS members and African countries is discussing the creation of a new global currency that could challenge the US dollar’s dominance and become analogous to the euro for non-Western states, State Duma Deputy Speaker Aleksandr Babakov has said. In an interview with Russian media on Wednesday, Babakov stated that having passed the test of Western sanctions, Moscow is ready to take on a new role in the world order and, together with partners, to undermine the hegemony of the US. He believes the Russia-Africa summit held in St. Petersburg last week is direct evidence of the failure of the collective West to isolate Russia, and he outlined the new trends in the system of international relations. https://www.rt.com/business/580754-brics-dollar-rival-discussions/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=RSS If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Divers have finally made it to the bottom of Belize’s iconic Great Blue Hole, but a dirty secret was lurking at the bottom of the pristine natural wonder. The Great Blue Hole is a giant marine sinkhole in the Caribbean off the coast of Belize that has left tourists and scientists awe-struck. Stretching 318 meters (about 1043 feet) across and 124 meters (about 407 feet) deep, it is one of the country’s top attractions. The beautiful, almost perfectly circular hole has perplexed researchers since it was discovered, but remained largely unexplored due to a lack of equipment. An expedition to explore the Great Blue Hole, funded by billionaire Richard Branson, was completed in 2018 — but it went viral this week as “proof that humans are terrible.” https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4172242/posts If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

John Sopko, Inspector General of the United States Reconstruction Service in Afghanistan, said that the amount of money the US will spend by the end of 2023 will surpass the money spent on the entire Marshall Plan. He also highlighted how Ukraine is a country that is almost just as corrupt as Afghanistan. “We are spending more money in Ukraine now in one year than we spent in about 12 years in Afghanistan, and by the end of this year, we will spend more money in Ukraine than we did to do the entire Marshall Plan after World War Two,” he warned, emphasising that he supported financial aid, but felt that need to make sure it was done “correctly and under supervision.” Among the problems identified by Sopko when overseeing the cost of rebuilding Afghanistan was the lack of coordination of these efforts and a lack of understanding of the ultimate goal. He highlights that in the case of Ukraine, the situation is even more complicated as more parties are involved, such as US agencies and international donors and organisations. In addition, the expert also noted that both Afghanistan and Ukraine are deeply corrupt. http://infobrics.org/post/38993/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

It appears that “an illegal, unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials” that was owned by a shadowy Chinese company was doing some pretty crazy things. When authorities entered the facility, they discovered “thousands of vials” that contained all sorts of various infectious agents. In addition to malaria, they found “chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella” in this secret lab. In addition, they also found 900 mice that were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus”.

Another day, another damning indictment of how California Democrat policies in support of illegal immigration are fueling the destruction of once-thriving major cities in the Golden State. A shocking in-depth investigative report by the San Francisco Chronicle reveals that violent Honduran migrants ruthlessly wield control over the open-air drug market in the decaying Cable Car City. “Since the [coronavirus] pandemic, drug dealers who have migrated from Honduras, mostly from the Siria Valley about 80 miles north of the capital, Tegucigalpa … have taken control of the open-air markets in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods [of the city],” the paper details. “They amount to hundreds of cogs in a global enterprise that’s supplied by Mexican cartels and enriched by an epidemic of addiction in America.” https://www.libertynation.com/machete-carrying-honduran-migrants-run-san-francisco-drug-market/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Last month, dozens of international leaders, elected officials, and businessmen and women gathered in London for the 2023 Ukraine Recovery Conference. The two-day forum focused on “mobilising international support for Ukraine’s economic and social stabilisation and recovery from the effects of war.” While at the event, the European Commission “presented a proposal that will mobilise up to €50 billion for Ukraine between 2024 and 2027.” Similarly, the United States announced that it would provide an additional $1.31 billion in assistance to Ukraine. The United Kingdom stated it would also assist in these reconstruction efforts. The conference came at a pressing time. Just recently, Russia launched another series of missile strikes across Ukraine. Residential buildings were targeted, dozens of citizens were injured, and at least three people were killed. The war continues without an apparent end.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has made it possible for illegal aliens to become police officers on the local, county, and state levels. They can now police Americans even though they break our laws to come into the US. We don’t even know their background. The law, implemented earlier this year, requires only that officers have a work permit issued by the federal government. Work permits, specifically under President Joe Biden’s administration, are given out regularly to border crossers and illegal aliens released into the United States after crossing the southern border.” Now, Illinois is looking to do the same thing. https://www.independentsentinel.com/illinois-bill-will-allow-illegal-aliens-to-police-americans/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY
