They have been pushing for carbon labelling on food for years – why?

Carbon food labels are rapidly moving from experimental initiatives to a mainstream trend, with significant developments indicating they are poised to become widespread. The global market for carbon-labelled packaged meals is projected to reach USD 1,252 million by 2035, reflecting a growing consumer demand for climate-conscious food choices.

In a move that could reshape the food industry’s supply chains, Unilever announced in June a comprehensive plan to introduce carbon footprint labels on all 70,000 of its products, a major step toward transparency and sustainability, though a specific timeline for full rollout has not been clarified.

While the UK government currently has no plans for mandatory eco-labelling, industry-led schemes are gaining momentum, with companies like Oatly, Quorn and Just Eat already implementing carbon labels on products and menus.

Voluntary initiatives are expanding across various sectors, including universities (e.g., Bournemouth University Food) and event venues (e.g., ExCeL London), where carbon footprint information is being integrated into menus and food service.

And carbon labelling fever is hitting Europe as well.  As part of its Single Market for Green Products Initiative, which was launched in 2013, the European Commission is advancing a mandatory Product Environmental Footprint (“PEF”) labelling scheme to standardise carbon and environmental data across food and other goods, creating a unified system across the European Union. 

PEF is supported by Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (“PEFCRs”), which standardise calculations for specific product groups such as beer, clothing, IT equipment, leather and pet food.

The pilot phase of the PEF ran from 2013 to 2018.  From 2019, the project has been in the “transition phase” focusing on monitoring the implementation of existing PEFCRs, developing new ones and advancing methodological developments. The “transition phase” is expected to be concluded this year.  “After the transition phase, the [Environmental Footprint] methods are expected to enter a phase of more stability and gradually wider application,” the European Commission says.

On The CIA’s Color Revolution Against The Nation It’s Supposed To Serve…

A Modest Proposal

“This isn’t just about Maduro. This is the final nail in the coffin for the CIA-black-budget narco pipeline that’s been running since the 80s.”

– The Ghost of Ezra on “X”

You must wonder: what exactly has CIA Director John Ratcliffe been doing over in Langley, VA, lo these many months since things changed bigly in Swamptopia? Does he wander the hallways of that giant black box howling ineffectually. . . sit barricaded in his office playing sudoku. . . or is he doing what needs to be done: methodically uncovering and disassembling the diabolical racketeering operation that the agency has become?

One thing for sure: you have heard next to squat coming out of his mouth all year. Mr. Ratcliffe is playing a close hand in a dangerous game and I tend to think that he is for-real. Very few Americans know what really goes on backstage at the CIA, but just say they try to whack the director — that would be checkmate on them. The agency would not survive the arrests of its personnel. And, anyway, Mr. Trump is moving swiftly now to shut down the engine of its nefarious activities.

The CIA, you understand, is the beating heart of the Deep State (a.k.a. the blob). The Democratic Party and the Never-Trump RINOs are its errand boys. And that is why a ten-year-long coup has been running to smash Trump and Trumpism. “Joe Biden” was a piece of furniture thrown out of the truck that the CIA was driving to escape the scene of the crime. “Joe Biden” was under threat of blackmail the whole four years he haunted the Oval Office, having run his own petty racketeering operation to keep his miserable, extended, sick family in beach houses.

NY Times Admits Somalis Are ‘Raised in a Culture of Stealing’ Following Massive Welfare Fraud in Minnesota

Even the far-left New York Times has admitted that Somalians are raised in a culture of widespread theft and graft in their country as the news of massive welfare fraud among the Somali community in Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota grows.

The paper’s opening line for its Nov. 29 article gets straight to the point, reading, “The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness.”

There have been an astounding series of cases of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud in state welfare, housing, healthcare, food, COVID relief and other programs, much of it centered on members of the Somali community.

The fraud has been so endemic in Minnesota that even the usually far-left Times is joining Breitbart News and calling it out. Indeed, the paper even noted that early on many liberals waved off the fraud as a “one-off abuse,” but as each new case rolled out from federal prosecutors the sense of alarm has grown and the blame is undeniable.

“Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided,” the Times reported.

The paper does not spare exposure of the Somali community.

Macalester College professor Ahmed Samatar, a Somali native, said that the fraud among Minnesota’s Somali migrants should not be surprising. The Times added that “Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country’s civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country’s dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread.”

The fraud has been so deep that it has undermined all of the state’s welfare programs.

“No one will support these programs if they continue to be riddled with fraud,” federal prosecutor Joseph H. Thompson told the media. “We’re losing our way of life in Minnesota in a very real way.”

One of the first such cases centered around an organization called “Feeding Our Future,” run by a group of Minneapolis-area Somali migrants. Prosecutors say that the organizers bilked $250 million from the state in child food assistance funding.

In a different case, tens of millions were stolen from Minnesota’s autism treatment program, again by Somali migrants. There is also the case of more than $550 million stolen from the state’s coronavirus pandemic relief program.

Vaccine Stocks Drop After FDA Memo Links COVID Shots To Child Deaths

Vaccine stocks slumped Monday after an explosive memo from FDA vaccine chief Vinay Prasad surfaced late Friday, signaling the agency is preparing to roll out tough restrictions on new vaccines for children. Prasad described a “profound revelation” linking Covid shots to at least ten deaths in children. 

By late morning, Vaccine makers dropped on the memo: Moderna -6%, BioNTech -4.3%, Novavax -4%, Vaxcyte -6.6%.

Wall Street analysts weighed in on the memo, and all agreed it introduces a new regulatory overhang for vaccine stocks.

Here’s what the research desks told clients:

William Blair, Myles R. Minter (rates the MRNA market perform)

  • “Our interpretation of the memo is that CBER will focus its efforts on the younger 12- to 24-year-old male population for newly approved Covid-19 vaccines where the myocarditis risk is highest”
  • If new regulatory restrictions were to be implemented in the higher myocarditis risk population, analysts see further headwinds toward Moderna’s declining Covid-19 franchise “alongside further negative sentiment that this memo and subsequent actions may generate”
  • Analyst says Pfizer, BioNTech, Novavax and Sanofi could also be impacted
  • “The memo also indicates several upcoming reforms to the CBER vaccine regulatory pathway, most notably the “demand” for pre- market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints, not just immunogenicity, for most new vaccine products”

‘Imported Violence’: New Hospital Data Confirms 50% Surge in Stabbing Victims in 4 Years as Germany’s Migrant Crisis Spirals

Germany’s corrupt, globalist political establishment keeps gaslighting the public, saying everything is “under control,” and all is good, but new medical data has revealed the country is spiraling deeper and deeper into chaos as knife violence explodes to levels once unimaginable.

Trauma surgeons have sounded the alarm. Severe stabbing injuries requiring emergency care have surged by 50% in just four years—an unprecedented escalation tied directly to the suicidal mass-immigration experiment that Germany’s globalist class has imposed on the rest of the nation.

For the first time, medical specialists isolated cases where victims were intentionally stabbed, and the results reveal thousands of attacks that expose the true scale of the crisis the increasingly unpopular left and right globalist governments have tried to downplay.

Over the last decade, hospitals logged 3,325 violent knife wounds, with the most dramatic rise occurring following the 2015–2025 migration wave championed by globalist politicians and the left-wing media, Die Welt reported.

In 2019, roughly 250 people were rushed into emergency rooms with life-threatening stab wounds. Shockingly, by 2023 the number had spiked to nearly 375—proof of a country where violence is becoming part of everyday life.

Doctors warn that attackers—often foreign nationals and migrants who shouldn’t be in Germany—are not just more numerous, but more vicious, deliberately striking the throat and chest, areas where a single stab can sever an artery or collapse a lung in seconds.

One veteran trauma surgeon described it like this: “Knives are being used casually and intentionally, more than ever before.” His words mirror what Germans increasingly witness on a daily basis.

Most victims are young men, but the real story is the brutality. Over 70% require immediate emergency intervention, and 8% die in hospital despite medical teams fighting to save them.

Experts have stated openly what the entrenched, ruling class refuses to acknowledge: Germany’s anti-national ‘elite’ has imported the knife violence. In many cultures from which recent migrants come, carrying and using knives is normalized, and as a result, the barrier to bloodshed is drastically lower.

The result is a society where military-aged migrant men now carry knives as casually as smartphones, and more and more Germans arm themselves out of fear—something police warn will only fuel further violence.

Amazon Data Center Linked to Cluster of Rare Cancers

For the hundreds of communities who’ve been saddled with data centers in recent years, the bulky fixtures are sources of unbearable noise, soaring energy prices, and plenty of electrical fires.

Add another grim possibility to that list: debilitating rare cancers.

Reporting on the “data center boom” in the state of Oregon, Rolling Stone tells the story of Jim Doherty, a cattle rancher and former county commissioner of Morrow, in eastern Oregon.

Doherty’s story began when he noticed a rise in bizarre medical conditions among the county’s 45,000 residents, linked to toxins in the local water. Working with the county health office, the rancher-turned-official began a survey of 70 wells throughout his jurisdiction — 68 of which, his testing found, violated the federal limit for nitrates in drinking water.

Of the first 30 homes he visited, Doherty told RS that 25 residents had recently had miscarriages, while six had lost a kidney. “One man about 60 years old had his voice box taken out because of a cancer that only smokers get, but that guy hadn’t smoked a day of his life,” he told the publication.

But the spike in cancer-causing pollution wasn’t just the fault of local farms, as Doherty expected. It had its roots in a 10,000 square foot data center by the commerce giant Amazon, which first went online in Morrow County in 2011.

Basically, the allegations go like this: industrial megafarms operating in the area are responsible for churning out millions of gallons of wastewater, laden with nitrates from fertilizers. All that waste has to go somewhere, which is one way of saying it mostly ends up in the ground.

Amazon’s hulking data center, thirsty for water to cool its blazing hot computer chips, supercharged this process, adding millions of gallons of wastewater a year to the heavy volume of farm runoff, which Morrow County was already struggling to keep up with. Soon even the deepest reaches of the local aquifer were tainted, according to RS, as huge volumes of data center and agricultural wastewater saturated the water table.

This meant that the data center itself began taking on the toxic sludge as it drew on groundwater to cool its electronics. When it did, evaporation only further concentrated the wastewater, which occasionally contained nitrate levels eight times higher than Oregon’s safe limit. The super concentrated data center water then made its way back into the waste system, where it ostensibly piled up all over again.

In response to the allegations, Amazon spokesperson Lisa Levandowski said that “our data centers draw water from the same supply as other community members; nitrates are not an additive we use in any of our processes, and the volume of water our facilities use and return represents only a very small fraction of the overall water system — not enough to have any meaningful impact on water quality.”

Morrow County residents, however, beg to differ.

Disgraced Former Prince Andrew Is Still as Entitled as Ever, Demands a Large House in Sandringham Estate With a Full Staff After He Leaves Royal Lodge

Andrew’s gluttony is unabated, as is his entitlement.

It took years of non-stop scandals to allow British King Charles III to finally secure the eviction of his disgraced young brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former Prince and former Duke of York, from the Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor.

It’s been revealed that Andrew’s lease provided he paid ‘a peppercorn’ per year, if demanded.

Now, while his exit from the 30-room mansion is agreed upon, Andrew is reportedly ‘pushing for a serious upgrade’.

Mountbatten-Windsor insists ‘on a six or seven bedroom-home’ on Charles’ Sandringham Estate.

And what’s more: Andrew wants ‘the full royal setup’.

OK! Magazine reported:

“According to an outlet, he’s asking for staff that includes a cook, gardener, housekeeper, driver and a security officer.”

Sources close to Andrew say that ‘he’s only asking for what’s fair’.

“’Andrew has done exactly what has been asked of him, and he just wants to be left alone. He is giving up the lease on one of England’s finest houses and expects to be treated fairly’, the close source insisted.”

Once Andrew was ‘bought out of the lease’, he will fight over every detail of the deal.

Ukrainian An-124 “Ruslan” Makes Secretive Landing in Israel, Fueling Speculation of Covert Military Support to Kyiv

In a development that has stirred intense speculation across defense circles, a Ukrainian An-124-100 “Ruslan” — one of the world’s largest and most capable cargo aircraft — made an unannounced landing at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on the evening of November 28, 2025. The aircraft, operated by Antonov Airlines, arrived quietly from the United Arab Emirates, loaded undisclosed cargo, and departed within a short window, leaving behind more questions than answers.

A Rare Appearance of Ukraine’s Heavy Transporter

The An-124 “Ruslan” is the pride of Ukraine’s aviation industry and a critical asset for the country since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion. After the destruction of parts of Antonov’s fleet at Hostomel Airport in 2022 — including the world-record An-225 “Mriya” — only 10–12 An-124s remain operational worldwide. Most Ukrainian flights now operate from safer hubs such as Leipzig, Germany and other European airports.

Its sudden appearance in Israel — especially without standard flight-tracking visibility — underscores the exceptional nature of this mission.

Unusual Cargo and Unusual Secrecy

Witnesses at Ben Gurion Airport reported trucks transporting large beige containers, similar in size to launch canisters used for Patriot PAC-2/GEM+ missiles or Israel’s Rafael SPYDER air-defense system. The cargo was loaded swiftly into the aircraft under heightened security.

There was no official announcement, no commercial flight plan, and minimal digital traces — highly unusual for a civilian transport operation. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft flew toward Tbilisi, Georgia, before continuing back to the Persian Gulf region, taking a route that appeared deliberately indirect and partially hidden from common flight-tracking websites.

Such patterns are often associated with military or highly sensitive logistical operations.

Strengthening Israel–Ukraine Defense Links

If the aircraft indeed carried air-defense components or interceptors, it would mark another discreet step in Israel’s gradually expanding support for Ukraine. While Israel has avoided publicly supplying offensive weapons to Kyiv, it has reportedly facilitated transfers of defensive systems — especially as Ukrainian cities continue to face waves of Russian missile and drone attacks.

The timing is notable: Ukraine has recently expanded deployment of Patriot systems, and Kyiv has hinted at receiving additional Western-supplied interceptors through third-party channels.

ICYMI: MN AG Keith Ellison CAUGHT ON TAPE Promising Favors to Somali Immigrant Fraudsters — Including Now-Convicted Defendants — In Exchange for Campaign Cash

A 54-minute secret recording from a December 11, 2021, closed-door meeting inside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s official state office is resurfacing amid explosive revelations that 70 Somali community members in Minnesota participated in stealing $250 million in federal COVID child-feeding funds.

On the tape released by American Experiment earlier this year, Ellison sympathizes with, encourages, and ultimately promises assistance to a group of Somali-American business leaders, many of whom would later be charged or convicted in the largest COVID relief fraud scheme in U.S. history.

The fraudulent operation, centered around the notorious nonprofit Feeding Our Future, stole an estimated $250 million in federal child nutrition funds, money intended to feed poor children but instead used to purchase luxury homes, foreign real estate, jewelry, and lavish lifestyles.

The audio reveals Ellison mocking state agency oversight, vowing to “fight” on behalf of the very operators who investigators say were deeply involved in a web of wire fraud, money laundering, and fake meal claims across Minnesota.

Soon after (on December 20, 2021), Keith Ellison’s campaign and that of his son Jeremiah Ellison received campaign donations from individuals linked to Feeding Our Future.

Among those donors was Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, a person publicly identified as tied to laundering over $1.1 M in program funds.
