In an interesting banner headline yesterday, the Daily Mail said what most people are thinking; WWIII is looming, they are just waiting on their Archduke Ferdinand moment (which they may have tried in the last few minutes with Slovakia's PM.) Per the Daily Mail: Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 saw the horrors of a large-scale war darken Europe's doorstep for the first time since the end of World War II. For a short while, hope endured that a swift resolution to the conflict would materialise, but before long the prospect of a speedy diplomatic solution lay in tatters as Moscow's drones and missiles continued to batter Ukraine's cities. Now more than two years into the conflict, Vladimir Putin has doubled down. His forces have made noticeable gains on the frontlines in recent weeks as they pressure war-weary and ammo-starved Ukrainian defenders, and his decision to appoint civilian economist Andrei Belousov as defence minister suggests the Kremlin is committed to sustaining its war economy over the long run. Meanwhile, the president's long-serving and intensely loyal foreign minister Sergei Lavrov earlier this week challenged what Russia calls the 'collective West', declaring Moscow's troops are ready to meet NATO on the battlefield. In light of the downward spiral of East-West relations - not to mention the alarming escalation of tensions further afield in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific - the UK and its European partners could soon be forced to contend with any number of major military threats. As a result, many countries are reversing decades of peacetime policy to reignite their war engines. Others never stopped and are only consolidating efforts to ensure they are fit for conflict. But there is little doubt that all Europe is now scrambling to prepare in anticipation of what may lie over the horizon. Defense spending Armies can only fight with the resources made available to them. There is no clearer example of this axiom than on the frontlines of Ukraine where Kyiv's troops have only been able to hold off Russian invaders thanks to a huge quantity of Western supplied weaponry. After years of drawing down military capabilities in the UK and Europe following the collapse of the Soviet Union, such resources were until recently languishing at levels far below those maintained during the Cold War. But now, in the words of Britain's Defence Secretary Grant Shapps: 'The peace dividend is over'. NATO expects two-thirds of its members to commit 2% of their GDP to defence spending by the end of this year, of which at least 20% must go toward the development of new military technologies and equipment. Rishi Sunak declared last month the government would raise defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade - part of Britain's transition to a 'war economy'. On the continent, the European Commission has earmarked almost €2 billion to ramp up defence production among EU member states. €500 million of these funds will go toward the production of artillery shells, with the stated target of producing 2 million shells per year, among other ammunition, by the end of 2025 for Ukraine. The rest of the budget is to facilitate procurement, boost manufacturing capacity and enhance research and development in crucial defence domains, including 'countering hypersonic missiles, developing a range of unmanned vehicles in the air and on the ground, and ensuring secure space communication,' as well as 'next generation defence systems, such as helicopters and mid-size cargo aircraft'. Meanwhile, Norway - a member of NATO but not part of the EU - is leading the charge in the Nordics. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre proposed last month a 'historic' 12-year defence spending plan that commits a whopping 1.6 trillion NOK (£118 billion) to revitalise his nation's armed forces, with a particular focus placed on upgrading naval capabilities in view of its proximity to Russia's nuclear submarine fleet, and the increasing maritime prowess of China. And Finland, a country already renowned for its military preparedness, has tested its defence procurement contracts and has built up a huge stockpile of fuel, grains and ammunition in preparation for a possible war. It has also invested heavily in defence infrastructure - there are now enough air shelters scattered across Finland to house the entire population. Conscription and military service It was revealed this past weekend that Germany is considering a reintroduction of mandatory national service, according to leaked documents, with military planners discussing three potential approaches to preparing future generations for large-scale conflict. It is understood that officials are in the final stages of discussions with German defence minister Boris Pistorius, and are expected to go public with official plans next month, The Sunday Telegraph reported. In one proposal being considered by military planners in Berlin, all men and women would be subject to conscription once they turned 18, provided a constitutional amendment to include women in mandatory service is passed. But many European countries still maintain national service - and others have recently reintroduced it following Russia's invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago. The Baltic and Nordic states are all well ahead of their Western European counterparts when it comes to military preparedness - perhaps as a result of their proximity to Russia. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all maintain some form of national service, with Latvia having reintroduced the policy in 2023 as concern over Russian aggression in Ukraine prompted a rethink of defence strategy. All male citizens aged 18 to 27 are now required to complete a year of service there. Further North, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all maintain their own programmes, with Sweden having reactivated their national service policy in 2018. Denmark announced earlier this year women would also be subject to mandatory service and revealed plans to extend the duration of the training. Meanwhile, one in three Finns are reservists, meaning Finland boasts one of Europe's largest armies despite having a tiny population of just 5.6 million. Austria, Greece and Switzerland are the other three European nations to maintain national service, albeit with varying durations and degrees of intensity. For now, the UK continues to resist calls from the continent to reintroduce national service, which was abandoned in 1960. But several top military figures in Britain have also backed the calls following a years-long policy of reducing the size of the UK's armed forces. The British Army shrunk by 28% in the past 12 years to around 103,000 soldiers, of which around 76,000 are regulars and 27,000 are reservists, according to YouGov figures. General Sir Patrick Sanders, Chief of the General Staff of Britain's Armed Forces, said in January that Britain should 'train and equip a citizen army' to prepare for the possibility of a land war in Europe in the coming years. And General Sir Richard Shirreff, a former NATO commander, warned that the UK might need to introduce a system akin to Finland's, in which all 18-year-old males are required to perform 6-12 months of service in the military, or with border guard units. They subsequently enter the reservist programme until age 60. Sir Richard, the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe from 2011 to 2014, said earlier this year: 'I think now... is the time to start thinking the unthinkable and really having to think quite carefully about conscription if we are to deliver the numbers needed.' War games and enhanced security cooperation Perhaps the most overt display of Europe's renewed focus on improving its military readiness comes in the form of NATO's stunning war games. Steadfast Defender 2024, a suite of training exercises running from January to June, is among the largest military drills ever conceived by the security bloc since the Cold War. Before its end, the mammoth undertaking will have witnessed the involvement of 90,000 troops from all 32 members of the alliance in a host of different missions including live fire exercises, strategic and logistical game-planning, and the deployment of cross-continental forces from the High North above the Arctic Circle to Central and Eastern Europe. The drills are not just reserved for land forces - hundreds of military aircraft and more than 50 naval vessels will also perform drills to gauge and strengthen NATO's air and maritime capabilities. An area of renewed focus for military exercises this year is the Arctic, which could soon become a new frontier where world powers clash for strategic superiority, control of new trade routes and access to previously untapped natural resources. Russia reveres the Arctic as an 'indisputable priority' and has committed to building up military and civilian infrastructure in the region. But the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO in recent months means Europe's Nordic powers are now able to operate more closely than ever before and are helping the US to upgrade its own understanding of the Arctic and approach to polar policy. Norway has hosted NATO's Cold Response winter training exercises since 2006, but this year launched 'Nordic Response' - a dramatically enhanced programme that saw 20,000 troops participate in expanded drills on the frozen coasts of the remote Finnmark region some 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Britain's Challenger 2 tank moves during the Winter Camp 23 military drills near Tapa, Estonia, Sunday, Feb. 5, 2023 Meanwhile, Oslo has worked with counterparts in Stockholm and Helsinki to help formulate Washington's brand-new Arctic Strategy. This is set for publication in the coming weeks - almost 18 months after the US Department of Defense announced the creation of a new office dedicated to improving America's capabilities in the High North. Elsewhere, the invasion of Ukraine prompted a reinforcement of NATO's eastern flank, with more European nations willing to welcome foreign troops on their soil. Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria and Hungary are all now hosting a contingent of NATO forces, upping the total of multinational battlegroups in Europe to eight from the original four in the Baltic states, plus Poland. And in move defying pressures from the Kremlin, Moldova is reportedly set to deepen its defence ties with the EU. The country, which shares a land border with Ukraine, is close to signing a new defence pact that would see Chisinau increase its intelligence sharing with European partners, participate in joint military drills and win inclusion into the EU's joint weapons procurement programmes, according to the FT. Hosting US nukes and upgrading Europe's nuclear deterrent Europe's nuclear deterrence relies massively on the US, which has the second largest stockpile of nukes at around 5,200 to Russia's 5,800 - though more a thousand of them are thought to be retired and awaiting disarmament. Several hundred of these warheads are deployed in various European territories - primarily at locations in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. But Sweden earlier this week announced it would be willing to host US nuclear weapons on its soil in a time of war, a move that has been hotly criticised by de-armament advocates. NATO's newest member sensationally abandoned two centuries of military non-alignment to join the security bloc in March this year, and its parliament is now set to vote on a Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the United States in June which will give the US access to military bases in Sweden. The Swedish Peace and Arbitration Association, among others, is campaigning for the government to put in writing in the DCA agreement that Sweden will not allow US nuclear weapons on its soil. But Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said hosting US nukes may be necessary 'in a war situation'. 'In the absolute worst-case scenario, the democratic countries in our part of the world must ultimately be able to defend themselves against countries that could threaten us with nuclear weapons,' he told Swedish public radio. Kristersson's declaration came weeks after Polish President Andrzej Duda said last month his nation would be ready to station American weapons on its territory, given Russia's decision to deploy intercontinental ballistic missiles in neighbouring Belarus late last year. Meanwhile, Britain and France - the only European countries to have their own nuclear arsenals - are both in the process of upgrading their existing capabilities and adding new ones in the coming years. In March, defence contractor Babcock announced a contract with the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) - an MoD agency - to perform a £560 million overhaul of HMS Victorious, one of the UK's four Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). HMS Vigilant - another SSBN - is already next in line to undergo such transformative maintenance as soon as Victorious' upgrades are completed. Though the Vanguard class vessels continue to maintain Britain's nuclear deterrent, these submarines will be replaced in the next decade by four fearsome 'Dreadnought' class submarines - three of which are already under construction. Defence Procurement Minister James Cartlidge said earlier this year the Dreadnought programme is on track to replace the Vanguard fleet at a cost 'within the original £31 billion plus £10 billion contingency budget'. All the while, Britain continues to increase its stock of nuclear weapons from 225 to 260 - bringing it closer to France's total - and is also thought to be manufacturing a new class of warheads. France is also embarking on an overhaul of its nuclear sub arsenal, announcing in March that construction had begun on its latest generation of SSBNs called 'SNLE 3G'. Three more are planned to enter service before 2035 and are said to be so advanced that they will remain in service until the 2080s and beyond.

Last year, we ran a series of podcasts uncovering the plot against "Natural Medicine," and the attack on doctors who either found an untimely demise, or were forced to move their practices to Mexico. During that series, we also talked about the lies of skin cancer, and the truth about many of the "sun screen lotions" found to be carcinogenic. To refresh your memory, there have been many companies that produce sun screen who have been order to cease operations, along with mass recalls because of evidence that led directly to the lotion being the primary cause of cancer. So once again, the American public paid for something to protect them, which ultimately harmed them. (Also see the J&J talcum powder lawsuit here https://www.reuters.com/legal/jj-advances-6475-billion-settlement-talc-cancer-lawsuits-2024-05-01/ ) In 2021, All batches, or lots, of these four Neutrogena spray sunscreens and one Aveeno spray were voluntarily recalled this week by parent company Johnson & Johnson (J&J) “out of an abundance of caution”: Neutrogena® Beach Defense® aerosol Neutrogena® Cool Dry Sport aerosol Neutrogena® Invisible Daily™ defense aerosol Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer® aerosol Aveeno® Protect + Refresh aerosol Corporate officials stated “While benzene is not an ingredient in any of our sunscreen products, it was detected in some samples of the impacted aerosol sunscreen finished products,” J&J reported in a statement. “Consumers should stop using these specific products and appropriately discard them.” Now to more blockbuster news. In a recent SubStack article released by "A Midwestern Doctor," he outlines "Dermatology's Disastrous War Against The Sun." Some of the highlights of the story: •Skin cancers are by far the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, so to prevent them, the public is constantly told to avoid the sun. However, while the relatively benign skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, the ones responsible for most skin cancer deaths are due to a lack of sunlight. •This is unfortunate because sunlight is arguably the most important nutrient for the human body, as avoiding it doubles one’s rate of dying and significantly increases their risk of cancer. •A strong case can be made that this dynamic was a result of the dermatology profession (with the help of a top PR firm) rebranding themselves to skin cancer fighters, something which allowed them to become one of the highest paying medical specialities in existence. Unfortunately, despite the billions that is put into fighting it each year, there has been no substantial change in the number of skin cancer deaths.

Tuesday night, May 7th at 8 PM ET, our next episode "From Early Eugenics to the Bioweapon" will drop on all podcast providers. This will be one of the most in depth episodes we have ever done, that connects a series of events from the 19th century through today. This episode will expose the individuals, NGO's, Government agencies & politicians who have enabled outside entities to influence both the moral decline and the physical attack on the United States, and the world. We will expose EMILY's List, IBM, Bill Gates, Ellen Malcolm, Tom Ridge, Tom Daschle, Barbara Boxer, Dugway Proving Grounds, BioLabs around the world, and much, much more. I was simply preparing a podcast to expose another NGO, "EMILY's List," when as always, one rabbit hole led to the next. It shouldn't have been a surprise, because every single eugenics NGO leads to quite the trail. It was important to try to keep this into one continuous episode, to show that all of these rabbit holes connect, and prove the federal government is truly the source of our misery. And if we continue to turn a blind eye to it, will certainly lead to our ultimate demise. We'll see you Tuesday night at 8 PM ET. Please share this episode with your family & friends.

According to Reuters and other sources, "Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger that is hosting US troops, a senior US defense official told Reuters, a move that follows a decision by Niger's junta to expel US forces from the country." The Russian Wagner Forces have now entered the American base, which currently holds 1000 US soldiers. Niger has ordered the removal of all US troops and has given Russia control over the base. A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hanger at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger's capital. The move by Russia's military puts U.S. and Russian troops in close proximity at a time when the nations' military and diplomatic rivalry is increasingly acrimonious over the conflict in Ukraine. It also raises questions about the fate of U.S. installations in the country following a withdrawal. "(The situation) is not great but in the short-term manageable," the official said. The Nigerian and Russian embassies in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The U.S. and its allies have been forced to move troops out of a number of African countries following coups that brought to power groups eager to distance themselves from Western governments. In addition to the impending departure from Niger, U.S. troops have also left Chad in recent days, while French forces have been kicked out of Mali and Burkina Faso. This is a developing story and we will provide updates when we get them. God bless, George "The Fact Hunter"

Episode 242 drops tonight at 8 PM ET. We will be looking at the history of AIPAC, the individuals involved with them, and the absolute stronghold it has on the United States government. You will also be shocked to hear where they receive many of their donations, including Ukranian Zionist Leonid Radvinsky, who is the majority owner of OnlyFans. So, AIPAC takes money from a company that corrupts young people, and then uses those funds to pay off our Congressman & Senators to push the Israel first agenda. This episode highlights the famous phrase accredited to Voltair, “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." If you question the Israel first agenda, you are quickly labeled an Anti-Semite. Not only has AIPAC wielded their power to raise up the DC elite who serve them, but they have also used their power to crush those who do not push the Israel first agenda. This episode is the first in a series that puts the spotlight on "the controllers." Here is the link to the podcast (Which won't be live until 8 PM ET): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-242-exposing-aipac-its-control-over-the-u-s-government--59736730 God bless, George "The Fact Hunter"

The following article is from Goderich.Ca, the official website of the small Canadian town in Ontario that sits on Lake Huron: The Canadian Armed Forces will be conducting an emergency exercise in Huron and Bruce Counties between Friday, May 3 and Sunday, May 5, 2024.   Goderich residents will notice a military presence throughout Town as soldiers will be stationed in the community over the weekend. There is no reason for concern regarding this exercise.   It is being conducted to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise for soldiers.  Soldiers will be conducting fire fighting training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, establishing cooling centers, as well as other activities.  These exercises will be conducted throughout Huron and Bruce Counties. Wellness checks or "door knocks" will be performed in Goderich on Saturday, May 4.   Soldiers will be going door-to-door and speaking with residents to simulate what would happen if they were asked to check on the well-being of residents during an actual emergency. All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area. Members of the public are asked to take extra caution if approaching military vehicles and troops and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation. Questions can be directed to 31 Canadian Brigade Group Public Affairs Officer, Lt Paul Verheye at paul.verheye@forces.gc.ca. In all of my time in the military, we NEVER trained amongst the general population. We either had fellow service members pose as civilians, or they paid civilians to come into our training area to play a particular role. Military training is done on military installations. The people of this town should be outraged. If someone from the military came knocking on my door, stepped on my private property, we would have some serious issues. I realize that Canada does not have the same "freedoms" we have (or thought we had), but this is unacceptable. From my perspective, they are trying to normalize martial law. They want people to accept military & police showing up to their house to do "wellness checks." This should tell you that this is a trial run for the next scamdemic. I will keep you updated on this story as it develops. God bless, George "The Fact Hunter"

In Latin it's known as Divide et impera. We know it as divide & conquer. This psychology has been used on the masses for thousands of years. The Romans perfected it, and used it as a military strategy. Their mantra was to "secure command by breaking a large concentration of power into portions that alone were weaker, and methodically dispatching those portions one by one. The controllers have mastered this system, and have destroyed nationalist countries by using this same method. Just over the last 4 years, think about all of the ways they divided us and attacked each other, all the while the people who are actually destroying our country stand by & laugh as we fall for the bait every time. With Covid, you had pro mask and anti mask. Then you had pro jab and anti jab. If you walked into your local Walmart without a mask, half the people would smile at you, and half the people would lose their mind. In America, they love to divide us with race. With the George Floyd psy-op, we were divided racially. Those of us old enough to remember, they used those same tactics in the early 90's with the OJ Simpson case, and of course the Rodney King incident which led to the 1992 riots of Los Angeles. Al Sharpton tried to do the same with the Tawana Brawley incident, but that was so over the top it didn't take long for the lie to be exposed. The same playbook was used just a few years ago with Jussie Smollet. That incident could have led to injuries, deaths & more destruction. Smollett was only sentenced to 5 months in jail plus probation, which was not nearly enough of a deterrence to discourage anyone from trying that again. The divide and conquer game is instilled in us early in life through sports and politics. When I was growing up in the '70s and 80s, I was told by my grandfather to not talk about sports, politics & religion in the business world. It has been interesting to see how these divisive topics have become a part of everyday life, which is what the controllers wanted. In 2024, politics (and most likely war) will be a mighty tool they will use to champion our continued division amongst ourselves. After all these years of broken promises and lies, people will still put signs in their front yard for either Trump or Biden. How people still believe a politician can fix this mess is beyond me. We need less laws, not more. We need less government, not more. We need men with moral compasses to shepherd this country through the most difficult time we have ever faced. There is no easy solution. Like someone who has ignored the "check engine" light for too long, we are going to need a complete overhaul. And it's going to be painful. The reason we have gotten to this point is because so many have bought into the divide & conquer scheme. Voting every 4 years does not make one a "Patriot." That term has been thrown around so much it's silly. Many folks on Twitter and Facebook call themselves Patriots because they post silly political nonsense. They are simply adding fuel to the fire in the divide & conquer plan. We are not in a race war. We are not in a political war. We are in a war of good versus evil. We are also in a class war. Those people who hold power will not politely give it up. Never in history has power been stolen, then simply given back to the masses. It will take people of both personal and moral courage to turn this around. We are the 99%. Stop buying into the rhetoric, and focus on the people who are truly causing this misery. Remember, no matter what, if man's law crosses God's law, it is your inherent responsibility to simply say no. The Bible tells us that followers of Jesus Christ will be persecuted. We live amongst a spiritual war, and it is an exciting time to be alive. You can be a part of the greatest comeback in world history, or we can simply roll over and do nothing. Like MSG Jeremy Brown said, "Don't do nothing." God bless & thanks for reading. George "The Fact Hunter"

It was great to meet all of the people who came out to the shows in OKC & Waco. Meeting people in person and having these conversations in a public setting was amazing. We will 100% do it again in the future (although it will be one city per trip next time.) It was quite the adventure getting home. Because of the storms in the Dallas area, I didn't get home until Sunday night! Nevertheless, it was an experience I will never forget! Lastly, thanks to everyone who contributed to the mission. The donations covered the cost of the East Palestine trip, and most of the OKC/Waco trip. Your continued support is greatly appreciated! God bless, George
