Although the heat wave decreased slightly in Spain yesterday, it was only in the West and temporary as forest fires and record high temperatures continue with no end in sight. Climate studies show Spain sliding into the ‘Saharan Hell’.

The heatwave split in two, with half of it racing north over France, briefly the UK,Netherlands Germany and Scandinavia, leaving a trail of new record highs and devastating fires behind it.
Air is still drifting northward from the ‘Saharan Hell’, with temperatures in Cordoba, Anadalucia, forecast over 40C max, every day for the next 14 days at least.
The possible impact on non-forest assets and smoke on the population are the most noticeable consequences of the incident, which are added to thirty scattered in different regions of the Iberian nation.
Resembling a Monty Python sketch, Berlin officials still insist new Nord Stream 2 pipeline is ‘not certified’, refusing to back down and switch on the 55bcm of Gas while going bankrupt for lack of gas.
Germany will not use the new alternative pipeline to ship natural gas from Russia, Nord Stream 2, even though its usual route, Nord Stream 1, is shut down for maintenance, the country’s government reiterated on Monday.
“Nord Stream 2 is not certified, it does not have a legal permit for operation. This issue is not relevant,” Beate Baron, the representative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, declared.
Of course the government could just write a certificate today.
The announcement comes as Gazprom ‘upped the ante’ in the gas dispute by declaring force majeure on EU gas flow via Nord Stream 1, citing “extraordinary” circumstances outside its control.
That pipeline is currently closed for maintenance until Thursday. There is rising concern in Germany, however, that Gazprom will not resume supply when the works are complete.
German politicians have united in raging economic war hysteria against Russia, leading no less than 7 rounds of deep and unprecedented illegal punitive sanctions, for its intervention war to protect ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
In addition politicians have gifted billions of euros worth of often advanced weaponry to Ukraine, ensuring a long and bloody war. Until now Russia had committed about 20% of its armed forces, and excluding conscripts and reservists.
German led economic war against Russian oil and gas has ignored their own dependence on these commodities and could spell economic suicide.
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which runs from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea, has the capacity to transport 55 billion cubic meters of gas annually and its construction was completed last September.
However, the certification process was repeatedly delayed due to opposition from the US and a Russophobic campaign in Europe over energy dependence on Russia.
In February, prior to the launch of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, German authorities finally denied the pipeline’s certification and the project was halted indefinitely.
Berlin is now reportedly considering repurposing parts of the unused pipeline for an LNG terminal to import expensive and highly methane leaking frack-gas from the USA.
Gazprom’s CEO Alexey Miller said last month that the pipeline is ready to be switched on and could start pumping gas to Germany any time.

Pathetic Politicos: You can’t easily read theseRussia Todayreports in The West due to stupid racist sanctions. Nor can you watch Daria’s viral YouTube interview (added here by thefreeonline) in Russia, where it’s blacked out by the US ban. Anti LGBT attitudes in Russia and elsewhere are slowly changing..
The news regarding her personal life has made headlines in Russia and beyond. It follows a similar declaration by Russian women’s football star Nadya Karpova in a BBC interview last month.
Daria Kasatkina posted a picture with Natalia Zabiiako after a revealing YouTube interview was released on Monday
Russian women’s tennis number one Daria Kasatkina has revealed she is in a relationship with former figure skating star Natalia Zabiiako, shortly after Kasatkina discussed her sexuality in a YouTube interview.
video added by the freeonline> YouTube and this video are largely blocked in Russia due to racist anti Russian hysteria
Kasatkina, 25, made the revelations about her private life in a wide-ranging discussion in Spain with blogger Vitya Kravchenko which was published on Monday.
The tennis star said that the topic might be a “taboo” in her homeland but added that “living in the closet for a long time is difficult and doesn’t make sense.”
“There’s this phrase, ‘if you want to be gay’. If you want to or not, if you become it or not. What kind of nonsense is this?” asked Kasatkina.
“Really, it seems to me there’s nothing easier in the world than to be straight. Given a choice, who would choose to be gay and make life difficult for yourself? Seriously. Especially in Russia.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a real boon to Pfizer. Not only has it doubled Pfizer’s annual revenue, it has also given the drugmaker unique weight in determining U.S. health policy — something that concerns even staunch vaccine-pushers like Dr. Paul Offit
Pfizer’s revenue in 2021 was $81.3 billion — approximately double that of 2020 — and the COVID shot accounted for $36.78 billion of that
Pfizer’s COVID jab dominates 70% of the U.S. and European markets, and Paxlovid, its COVID drug, has become a standard treatment choice in hospitals. This despite findings showing the shot doesn’t prevent infection or transmission, and that Paxlovid causes severe rebound and supercharges mutations
The U.S. had thrown away 82.2 million expired COVID jab doses as of mid-May 2022, yet the Biden administration ordered another 105 million doses at the end of June 2022 for a fall booster campaign that will cost taxpayers $3.2 billion
Pfizer’s contracts are almost exclusively slanted in Pfizer’s favor. They’re guaranteed payment while having no financial liability for injuries and deaths, and it appears this indemnification applies even if they were to be found guilty of fraud
According to Kaiser Health News (KHN),1 the COVID-19 pandemic has been a real boon to Pfizer. Not only has it yielded “outsize benefits” in terms of profits, but it has also “given the drugmaker unusual weight in determining U.S. health policy.”
“Based on internal research, the company’s executives have frequently announced the next stage in the fight against the pandemic before government officials have had time to study the issue, annoying many experts in the medical field and leaving some patients unsure whom to trust,” KHN reporter Arthur Allen writes, adding:2
“When last year Bourla suggested that a booster shot would soon be needed, U.S. public health officials later followed, giving the impression that Pfizer was calling the tune.
Some public health experts and scientists worry these decisions were hasty, noting, for example, that although boosters with the mRNA shots produced by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech improve antibody protection initially, it generally doesn’t last.
Since January, Bourla has been saying that U.S. adults will probably all need annual booster shots, and senior FDA officials have indicated since April that they agree … The company’s power worries some vaccinologists, who see its growing influence in a realm of medical decision-making traditionally led by independent experts …
When President Biden in September 2021 offered boosters to Americans — not long after [Pfizer CEO Albert] Bourla had recommended them — Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia … wondered, ‘Where’s the evidence you are at risk of serious disease when confronted with COVID if you are vaccinated and under 50?’
Policies on booster recommendations for different groups are complex and shifting, Offit said, but the CDC, rather than Bourla and Pfizer, should be making them. ‘We’re being pushed along,’ he said. ‘The pharmaceutical companies are acting like public health agencies.’”
The fact that a vaccine-pusher like Offit — infamous for claiming a baby can safely tolerate 10,000 vaccines at once3 — is questioning and pushing back against Pfizer’s influence over health policy reveals just how brazen, unethical and potentially dangerous that is.
Massive Profits Made From Useless Products
According to Allen, Pfizer’s revenue in 2021 was $81.3 billion4 — approximately double that of 2020 — and the COVID shot accounted for $36.78 billion5 of that. For comparison, Lipitor, Pfizer’s previous top selling statin, generates roughly $2 billion a year,6 while their strep vaccine, Prevnar 13 rakes in $6 billion a year.7
Its mRNA gene transfer injection against COVID now dominates 70% of the U.S. and European markets, and Paxlovid, Pfizer’s COVID drug, has become a standard treatment choice in hospitals. This, despite researchers finding Paxlovid (molnupiravir) causes severe rebound and supercharges mutations.
In a rational scenario, that finding would have put a stop to its use, but no. In an official health advisory8 to the public, issued May 24, 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention first warns that Paxlovid is associated with “recurrence of COVID-19 or ‘COVID-19 rebound,’” and then in the very next sentence stresses in bold print a narrative supporting its use and enriching Pfizer with instructions saying:
“Paxlovid continues to be recommended for early- stage treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 among persons at high risk for progression to severe disease.”
Allen also notes that, during an investor call, a Pfizer official highlighted reports of Paxlovid’s failure, but spun it into “good news” for investors, as patients may require multiple courses!9 Obviously the objective has long ago shifted from helping humans to raping them for as much profit as possible.
Similarly, while Pfizer’s COVID jab clearly doesn’t prevent infection or spread, and Americans are rejecting the shots in growing numbers — 82.2 million doses had expired and were chucked in the trash as of mid-May 202210 — the U.S. government still went ahead and ordered another 105 million doses at the end of June 2022.
These are intended for a fall booster campaign, at a cost to taxpayers of $3.2 billion.11 The U.S. is actually paying about 50% more for each of these new jab boosters this time around — $30.47 per dose compared to $19.50 per dose paid for the first 100 million doses.
There’s lots of speculation nowadays about the fall of the US Dollar and consequently the US Empire. But that’s a far off scenario compared to the imminent European catastrophe.
a) Right now the EU’s economy is teetering on the edge of a financial and economic catastrophe, due to exercising its political agendas despite any economic mayhem created.
“The financial consequences stem partly from bank exposure to Russian entities, but far more important is the effect of soaring producer and consumer prices on the entire Eurozone financial structure. The euro system has depended on redistributing wealth from Germany and the fiscally conservative northern states to bail out the poorer south using suppressed interest rates. That scheme is now kaput”.
Now that Eurozone Inflation (CPI) is rising at 8.6% and Germany’s producer prices are up…
Release Council will not meet until 25 July, the 65th day of our comrade’s hunger strike.
The health condition of hunger striker Giannis Michailidis, who is on his 46th day of hunger strike and is under guard at Lamia General Hospital, is at an extremely critical point.
First of all, I would like to emphasize and make it known that although it is legally foreseen for any prisoner to appoint his personal doctor to examine and monitor him, in this case and despite the relevant permission, I was not allowed to have a clinical examination in person, our communication was between bars and in the presence of the police officer right next to me, thus abolishing medical confidentiality since he was listening and watching all our communication.
Giannis white blood cell count has dropped so far below the lower normal limit that it now poses a threat to the striker. Leukopenia leads to severe immunodeficiency. Platelets are also very low and Thrombocytopenia can cause severe and threatening bleeding. There is anaemia that is getting worse, disturbance in liver function, hypocalcaemia.
Clinically, the striker now reports that at the slightest effort he feels acute precordial pain (signs of myocardial ischaemia) and severe pain in the left kidney. The treating doctors have informed him that he is now at risk of severe osteoporosis.
