Tilling your soil is like planting a garden full of weeds. With every turn of the blades, weed seeds are finding a home underneath the soil. All to become the next wave of weeds you need to deal with.
Yes, it really is possible to eliminate weeds from constantly invading your vegetable garden!
Weeds truly are the ultimate enemy of gardeners. They are responsible for choking the life from vegetable and flower gardens. All while stealing life-giving nutrients away from our plants.
But they also wreak havoc in a multitude of other ways too. Like harboring pests and disease that lie in wait to attack your plants. And let the weeds go to seed, and the vicious cycle only multiplies.
Listen in to our latest podcast on eliminating weeds!
Leaked docs reveal how Reuters charity secretly serves as a tool for British influence across the world
By Kit Klarenberg, an investigative journalist exploring the role of intelligence services in shaping politics and perceptions.
The Reuters Foundation is a renowned charity attached to the famed news conglomerate. But recently leaked files show how it is assisting the UK government to serve London’s interests in all corners of the globe.
Among a tranche of secret UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) files recently leaked by hacktivist collective Anonymous are papers indicating that Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) – the “charitable” arm of the Thomson Reuters news conglomerate – has engaged in information warfare initiatives on behalf of Whitehall.
These endeavors form part of a wider effort to demonize, destabilize, and isolate Russia, at home and abroad. At Whitehall’s direction, TRF has covertly cultivated Russian journalists, established influence networks within and outside Russia, and promoted pro-Whitehall, anti-Moscow propaganda in Russian-speaking regions.
These activities have been comprehensively exposed by journalist Max Blumenthal. TRF tenders for the projects submitted to the FCDO were signed by its CEO Monique Villa, former managing director of Reuters Media and now adviser to Thomson Reuters’ CEO, suggesting the company itself is directly involved in the cloak-and-dagger operations of its ‘non-profit’ offshoot at the highest levels.
Check any newspaper or covid tracking website you want. Cases. Deaths. Hospitalisations. They’re all going down, sharply, and have been for weeks, especially in the US and UK.
So, why would that be?
Pundits across the media world have made suggestions – from vaccines to lockdowns – but there’s only one that makes any real sense.
Laurel writes for a medium that after publishing this column and receiving complaints from “feminist collectives”, it was eliminated without giving any explanation to the author. Seeing the level of violence that was exercised in social networks against Láurel, we requested her permission to publish said text in our spaces that was kindly granted to us by media friends with the Broken Column. This is also our way of giving a voice to those who artfully murder and remain invisible.
Here is the full text of Láurel, with whom we stand in solidarity and embrace each one of those who today say, No to violence and our invisibility.
Transphobic discourse, the true Trojan horse of feminism

”If you are a feminist and do not stand up to those who in the name of this political movement violate trans and non-binary people, I am afraid to tell you that it is called complicity.
In the same way that we speak of the patriarchal pact to denounce the complicity between men, as well as their silence or passivity in the face of the misogynistic acts of their fellow men, we can and must also speak of those cisgender feminist women who decide to ignore the transphobic acts of their alleged wrestling partners.
Biden promised to forgive student loans, hand out $2,000 stimulus checks, raise minimum wage, get the kids out of cages, and help America heal … Instead, he is continuing the wars in the Middle East, bolstering the police state, and giving billions to the military industrial complex. Oh, and kids are still in cages.

In her first interview after her defeat in the 2016 presidential election by Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton called on the United States to bomb Syria. Only hours later, in lock step with his formal alleged ‘rival,’ Trump sent 59 Tomahawk missiles hurling into Al-Shayrat air base in Homs, Syria using two US Navy destroyers. This illegal act of war was carried out in less than three months into his presidency on April 4, 2017.
This strike came with zero approval from Congress, zero investigation into the alleged crimes of Assad, and, in spite of Trump’s longstanding history standing against US meddling in Syria.
