Alex Oliveira has reported for the New York Post that a former Bush White House official says the US federal government has secretly invested trillions of dollars to build an underground network of cities where the very wealthy and powerful can live if a catastrophic near extinction event occurs. The informant, 74 year old Catherine Fitts, says about 170 bunkers like this have been built across the USA since 1998. She discussed this preparation for a catastrophe for a select group of wealthy elitists to Tucker Carlson during a recent interview. Fitts was assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the administration of President George W. Bush. This $21 trillion underground city paid for with taxpayer money is reported to be connected by an elaborate underground transportation system. These lavish doomsday bunkers are also meant for use for secret government operations. This all paints a horrifying picture wherein the most powerful politicians and their extremely wealthy supporters could be calmly planning steak and lobster dinners with fine French wines for their first evening down below if a nuclear war occurs, while the remainder of the people across the USA and elsewhere are becoming hysterical about being confronted with certain death if this occurs.  NY Post 

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) have together launched new guidance, entitled “Mental health, human rights and legislation: guidance and practice." The WHO has reported human rights abuses and coercive practices in mental health care, which are supported by present legislation and policies, remain too common. It has been commented that "Involuntary hospitalization and treatment, unsanitary living conditions and physical, psychological, and emotional abuse characterize many mental health services across the world." Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who is the WHO Director-General, has said “This new guidance will support countries to make the changes needed to provide quality mental health care that assists a person’s recovery and respects their dignity." >>>WHO   

Although neurotechnologies used carefully may have potential benefits for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, depression and anxiety, there is also a great potential for abuse. Ana Nougrères, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy of the United Nations, has said neurotechnologies can also be used to hack into our perceptions, innermost thoughts, emotions and even our memories. Ms. Nougrères has told the UN Human Rights Council  that rapid development of  these potent devices demands an “urgent regulatory response” which includes legal and ethical protections. She has shared that there is the risk of  harvesting people’s neurodata, which is highly personal information that is derived directly from the nervous system, for many malign causes. Neurotechnologies have the capacity to alter brain activity and even to actually artificially modify human beings. This makes neurotechnologies a serious threat to human rights and the fundamental values of privacy, dignity, and autonomy. Ms. Nougrères has said “Neurotechnology has the capacity to decode brain activity, allowing access to an individual's most intimate thoughts and emotions. Without proper safeguards, this could lead to unauthorized monitoring or even coercion. Governments, corporations, or malicious actors could exploit this access to influence personal behaviours and ideologies, fundamentally eroding personal autonomy and mental integrity." There have been many reports from targeted people across the USA and in other countries that neurotechnologies are already being used for sinister activities which have lead to ruined careers, destroyed relationships, legal problems, accidents, emotional issues, erroneous psychiatric diagnoses, health issues, social isolation, and overall ruined lives of innocent targeted people. The criminal agents doing this claim there's no laws regulating the use of neurotechnologies at this time, and yet it seems there are laws against torturing people as they are sadistically doing with intent. There are also of course serious ethical issues to be raised about these activities.

The CCHR has reported that a July 2022 University College London study has totally debunked the unproven theory that a “chemical imbalance in the brain” is the cause of depression. However the lucrative psychiatric-pharmaceutical industry has endorsed this claim as an integral part of a mass marketing campaign which has generated antidepressant sales of about $15 billion a year. This fake campaign has lead to greater than 100 million people across the world taking antidepressants each year to treat a chemical imbalance in their brains that never existed. Mass shootings and violent acts have also been linked to antidepressants. A Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) exposé, Psychiatric Drugs Create Violence & Suicide, has detailed greter than 60 mass shootings or acts of violence which have been committed by those who were taking or withdrawing from prescribed psychotropic drugs. And aside from suicide and deaths, the carnage which is caused by antidepressants includes violence, emotional numbness and addiction. Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International has said “Slowly, the scientific community is finally acknowledging what CCHR and others have been saying for decades—that there is no medical test to confirm a mental health diagnosis, and a chemical imbalance causing mental disorder does not exist.” CCHR  

It has been reported by the United Nations that in 2025, 305 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian aid due to crises which are escalating. Displacement, hunger and destruction are at levels never seen before due to conflict and climate change. Ongoing wars in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine have been causing massive displacements and civilian casualties. In mid-2024, greater than 123 million people had been displaced forcibly in association with gross violations of international humanitarian law. Food insecurity has been increasing, with 280 million people being confronted with acute hunger. And famine conditions have been getting worse in Gaza, Sudan, South Sudan, and Haiti, And with the world nearing 1.5°C warming there have been severe natural disasters. UN 

Sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are filthy crimes that seriously undermine the wellbeing of victims while shattering their sense of self worth. The lives of victims of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are literally at risk from physical abuse, violent rape, AIDs and other deadly infectious diseases, murder by the assailants when they're afraid their victims will turn them in to the authorities, and suicide due to the associated sense of shame. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that "Sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) represents a fundamental failure of protection." SEA is defined as  "Actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another." 

The Global Fund lists examples of sexual exploitation which include:

Offering money, gifts or access to services in exchange for sex acts.

Withholding or threatening to withhold services, or blackmailing in exchange for sex acts.

Providing services in exchange for sex acts.

Awarding a job in exchange for a sex act, or requiring a person to perform sex acts in order to keep and maintain a position of employment.

Sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are horrific crimes. If you are a victim of these crimes or you suspect someone you care about is be careful and file appropriate reports with your District Attorney.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that "Mental health is a basic human right for all people." Every person has an inherent deserving right to the highest possible standard of mental health. This encompasses the "right to available, accessible, acceptable and good quality care; and the right to liberty, independence and inclusion in the community." If someone suffers from a mental health condition this should not be used as a reason to deprive that person of their human rights or to exclude them from decisions which have to be made about their own health. Yet, people who suffer from mental health conditions around the world experience a wide range of human rights violations.  Among these are coercive practices including involuntary admission and treatment along with seclusion and restraint. It is also common for people to be excluded from daily community activities, to be confronted with discrimination, denied basic rights necessary for healthy survival which encompass food and shelter, and even to be prohibited from voting or getting married. Initiatives must be made to create public awareness of these problems while searching for ways to reform mental healthcare. In consideration that psychiatry has proven again and again to be a discipline of chronic quackery and tyrannical abuse there should be a revolution in mental healthcare via the total abolition of psychiatry with holistic non-psychiatric practices to replace psychiatry. The psychiatrists themselves should be prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.   

 On July 12, 2024, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International won a landmark case against an attempt to suppress its freedom of speech dealing with psychiatric abuse and patients’ rights in Spain. After a long judicial battle, a judgment was secured by CCHR International and CCHR Spain from the Supreme Court of Spain which resulted in a significant defeat for the Spanish Society of Psychiatry (SEP) which had claimed that CCHR’s publications, documentaries and websites in the U.S. and in Spain served to harm their “honor.” The Supreme Court of Spain rejected this and has affirmed that CCHR’s materials “deal with a matter of undoubted general interest,” are “directly connected to the public debate in a democratic society,” while also contributing to the “social debate on psychiatry.”>>>CCHR    

 An inquiry in New Zealand which uncovered 200,000 children and vulnerable adults tortured in psychiatric and behavioral institutions has mirrored similar abuses which have been uncovered in the United States. The New Zealand inquiry revealed horrible abuses in psychiatric, behavioral, and disability institutions have been going on for decades.  A nightmare of people being tortured under the guise of mental health care has surfaced. The abuses have included chemical restraints, sexual assault, electric shocks, medical experimentation, starvation, beatings, and sterilization. NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has told survivors "The State was supposed to care for you – but instead many of you were subjected to the most horrendous physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. People in positions of authority who you should have been able to trust – failed you in the worst possible way. When you tried to speak up, those same people turned a blind eye, they covered it up, and they prevented you from seeking justice for far too long. You are heard and you are believed.”>>>CCHR    

Human Rights Watch has reported United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has been encouraging negotiations on a new international treaty dealing with lethal autonomous weapons, or killer robots. Killer robots use sensor processing instead of human inputs to select targets to attack. This is a very dangerous development for mankind. Guterres wants an international treaty “to prohibit weapons systems that function without human control or oversight and that cannot be used in compliance with international humanitarian law.” Killer robots autonomously determine when, where or against what force is applied.  The secretary-general of the United Nations has said “time is running out for the international community to take preventative action on this issue,” and has reaffirmed “the need to act urgently to preserve human control over the use of force.”>>>Human Rights Watch

Amnesty International has reported people who are of reproductive age across the United States are being confronted with "ongoing, confusing changes to their ability to access abortion." In the aftermath of the Dobbs decision (2022) devastating new anti-abortion laws have emerged across the country with abortions now completely or nearly completely banned in 21 states. The US Supreme Court Dobbs decision states that the right to an abortion is not confered by the Constitution. This decision overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) which had ruled the right to an abortion was basically protected by the Constitution. Pregnant women are now being forced to give birth against their desires. International human rights law takes the position that decisions about your body should be yours alone. It is a violation of a persons human rights to force that person to continue with an unwanted pregnancy. This human rights disaster can only be confronted humanely with federal protection of the right to an abortion.>>>Amnesty International   

Abuse by psychiatrists is a consistent reality in a corrupt and sadistic society which has allowed these quacks to gain a monopoly on what they actually insist is mental healthcare. By allowing psychiatrsits to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year for their tyrannical quackery they have become unusually arrrogant to the point of being delusional about their insistence their brutally abusive interventions are helping innocent men, women and children who are unfortunate enough to be designated as their patients. All along their victims generally end up suffering on the fringes of society because of the psychiatrists, not because of mental illness as alleged. These victims are usually intelligent, creative, ambitious  and compassionate people who would have gone to the top in their careers and personally and financially in society if not for the psychiatrists. 

The most recent reported cases of alleged serious psychiatric abuse in New York state have been reported on by WRGB Albany. Many lawsuits which have alleged sexual abuse have been filed against Four Winds psychiatric hospital in Westchester County, which has locations in Katonah and Saratoga Springs. The names of the alleged victims have been redacted. Amber Long, a lawyer who represents the alleged victims has said the alleged victims were minors when the abuses occurred. Amber has said “When you put yourself in the place of these kids, it’s terrifying. They have no power in places like these, and they’re so helpless at the hands of these abusers, and clearly the abusers knew that and took advantage of it.”

The lawsuits include allegations that employees groped patients’ breasts while they were in the shower, forced a plaintiff  to perform oral sex, and than raped the patient. All along the kids caught in this nightmare were told nobody would believe them if they turned them in and they would just be seen as being crazy with a harder time ever being released. These kids are said to have also been overmedicated. 

The scenes of sexual abuse portrayed by the kids trapped in these facilities are shocking. It's professionals among the so called "Best & Brightest" in our society who have been hit with these credible allegations of filthy sexual abuse of children as young as 6 years old. This is a consistent theme in dealing with the psychiatric system. Psychiatry itself is an inherently destructive discipline of chronic abuse which should be permanently abolished. And the psychiatrists should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity with every penny of their assets seized and distributed to their victims.

It is naive to assume there is anything to gain from continuing to fuel the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. A peace accord with complete normalization of relations between the United States and Russia as soon as possible is critical to avoid an escalation of this bloody conflict which could lead to a catastrophic nuclear war between the United States and Russia. Russian President Putin has at times alluded to the possible use of nuclear weapons if this conflict continues and if American weapons continue their flow into Ukraine with continued sanctions against Russia. This could be viewed as an existential threat to Russia's existence which would be as serious as when the Nazis invaded Russia. At this time in history Russia's nuclear doctrine could be invoked to justify a nuclear strike against Ukraine and the United States which would immediately be met with retaliatory nuclear strikes against Russia and the doomsday clock would hit midnight. 

RT news has reported a new study predicts an exchange of nuclear weapons between the USA and Russia could lead to “prolonged cooling, agricultural collapse and social upheaval.” Millions of people would perish in a flash and a nuclear winter could evolve. This would totally devastate the atmosphere of the entire earth. This study was led by assistant research professsor Yuning Shi at Pennsylvania State University. It has been projected that in “a global nuclear war” there could be up to 150 million tons of soot which would be released into the atmosphere, which would lead to “prolonged cooling, agricultural collapse, and social upheaval on an unprecedented scale.”

In this scenario, precipitation and solar radiation would be decreased by as much as 70% across the world, and this would result in a drop of the average air temperature by over 15 degrees Celsius. Along with an agricultural collapse there would be a serious disruption in supply chains and trade. A global famine would likely follow. Russia is not very pleased with such considerations. 

Nikolay Patrushev, the national security adviser to President Putin, has accused Western powers of “deploying their military machine against Russia and becoming delirious with nuclear apocalypse scenarios.”

The bottom line is a ceasefire as soon as possible between Ukraine and Russia is critical. There will be no winners if this conflict escalates into a nuclear war between the USA and Russia due to continued American sanctions against Ukraine along with a flow of American arms to Ukraine. A practical rational consideration of the realities of the moment is necessary to secure peace at this time. RT News

RT has reported former Russian President Medvedev has said incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz is a Nazi after he allegedly has made the suggestion that Kiev should destroy the Crimean Bridge. Merz has been quoted as saying Kiev should use Western-supplied missiles to go on the offensive and destroy “the most important land connection between Russia and Crimea.”  In an X post on X on Monday, Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has suggested that Merz has been following in the footsteps of his Nazi father. “Chancellor candidate Fritz Merz is haunted by the memory of his father, who served in Hitler’s Wehrmacht. Now Merz has suggested a strike on the Crimean Bridge. Think twice, Nazi,” Medvedev wrote on X. RT News 

The United Nations has reported terror is being spread throughout Haiti by gangs with hundreds of thousands of guns. Many of these powerful automatic weapons can pierce the armour of the Haitian National police and a security support mission which was sent to Haiti by Kenya. The weapons can hit people at long distances. And the gangs are gaining control of territory and using their weapons to intimidate women into acts of sexual violence. People are being executed by the gangs if they fail to take their orders. It's reported most of the illegal weapons are coming into Haiti from Florida in the United States and from the Dominican Republic.  Clearly crackdowns on the gun trafficking networks in Florida and the Dominican Republic are needed. If the situation in Haiti continues to disintgrate further action by the United Nations may be necessary. United Nations 

In consideration of what she considers a poor choice of paintings Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has made a comparison of Vladimir Zelensky’s office to a “psychiatric hospital.”  TIME magazine has recently published photos which show Zelensky posing in front of two war-themed paintings. One of these paintings depicts Ukrainian troops fighting on Russian territory, and the other, which is reportedly his favorite, shows the Kremlin engulfed in flames. The photo of Zelensky as he was standing beside the paintings was apparently taken as he gave Time correspondent Simon Shuster a tour of his office earlier in March.  When she was asked by TASS to share a comment about the images, Zakharova simply replied“a psych ward,” without any further elaboration.  RT  

As there appears to be some hope for a continued move towards a normalization of relations between Russia and the USA with a cease fire in Ukraine, the risk of a catastrophic nuclear war between the United Kingdom and Russia appears to remain dangerously high. Pravda has reported that retired Royal Navy Rear Admiral Chris Parry has said that Russia would not be able to defend itself against a massive ICBM strike from Great Britain. Parry has said "One Trident submarine has the ability to incinerate 40 Russian cities very quickly. That is a lot of food for thought for Putin and that should make any world leader fearful." Pravda has gone on to report that this threat is dealing with"Her Majesty’s Sex and Cocaine" submarines. In October 2017 the captain of the HMS Vigilant was dismissed after having a romantic relationship with a subordinate, which violated the Royal Navy’s very strict "no-touching rule." Apparently several sailors were also dismissed when they failed drug tests. And one of the British sailors was caught engaging in sexual relations in a swimming pool with a prostitute while the sub was sailing near the US coast. Than in 2020 it's reported some of the British sub crew members spent time at American bars and strip clubs while the Trident II was being repaired. Apparently 35 British navy men than contracted COVID-19. Than in 2024 Pravda reports the Trident II captain was fired for filming pornography while he was on duty. Clearly this scenario presents the entire world with a serious crisis. Certainly the thought of one British sub carrying enough nuclear firepower to destroy 40 Russian cities is insane. And to make matters worse Russian concerns about all of this power being in the hands of allegedly degenerate British crew members is enough to intensify a panic in anyone. And so clearly although it appears the USA is finally on the right path in working towards a normalization of relations with Russia as President Trump and President Putin move forward with many mutually acceptable diplomatic initiatives, even if successful this will not significantly lower the threshold of a potential nuclear war which could lead to desruction of the entire planet unless Great Britain and all of NATO also normalize relations with Russia.

President Putin has issued a warning that he is prepared to use nuclear weapons if Western forces enter the war in Ukraine. While speaking to Rossiya-1 television and news agency RIA 

Putin said he does not see nuclear war as imminent but that he was ready to launch the missiles if necessary. Putin has also said he will send soldiers to the border with Finland because the country has joined NATO. He commented that there were not any systems of destruction there, but now there will be. >>>The Independent

It has been reported by Yonhap News Agency that North Korea has criticized a recent release of the United States' annual report on human rights in North Korea as interference 

in the nations "internal affairs." The U.S. State Department has alleged in its report that North Koreans were exposed to many human rights abuses last year which are said to have included forced repatriations, extrajudicial killings, child labor, and forced abortion. A spokesperson for the North Koreas foreign affairs ministry has said this report was based on Washington, DCs unilateral standards and that the U.S. has been encouraging massacres of civilians by supporting overseas military operations.>>>Yonhap News Agency

The defense ministry of China has accused the Pentagon of the fabrication of false narratives and the twisting of reality in order to mislead the public with perceptions in its most recent annual report on Chinese military and security developments. According to Chinese ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang the US Department of Defense report has misinterpreted China’s defense policies, made speculations about its military capacity, pried in China's domestic affairs, and “desperately slandered” Beijing with a goal of exaggerating the so-called Chinese threat. Zhang has said “The ‘war-addicted’ United States has become the biggest destroyer of international order and the greatest threat to global security.” Zhang says China has a policy of adhering to a path of peaceful development and national defense policy while also fulfilling the international responsibilities which are expected of a major world power. Zhang also says the United States utilizes its military strength to maintain unilateral hegemony while also often resorting to extreme pressure in order to forcibly promote “regime changes” and incite “color revolutions.” However, Zhang hopes for better relations with the USA in the future saying  “We aim to build a military relationship based on equality and respect, characterized by no conflict or confrontation, open and pragmatic cooperation, and gradually accumulating mutual trust.” >>>RT News   

The Financial Times has reported that credit rating group Moody’s has issued a warning dealing with the US fiscal outlook, with assertions  President Trump’s trade tariffs could hurt the country’s ability to cope with an escalating debt and higher interest rates.  Moody's has said America's “fiscal strength is on course for a continued multiyear decline." A negative outlook was issued to America's credit rating by Moodys in November 2023 with further deterioration since than. Although Moody's has noted the "extraorindary" resilience of the US economy, its analysts have raised concerns about the negative impact Trump's policies could have on the economy. Moody's has said “The potential negative credit impact of sustained high tariffs, unfunded tax cuts and significant tail risks to the economy have diminished prospects that these formidable strengths will continue to offset widening fiscal deficits and declining debt affordability.” Analysts and investors have shared concerns the rapidly rising debt and deficit of the US may ultimately undermine demand for Treasuries, which are important for the stability of the global financial system. The US federal budget deficit reached as high as $1.8tn for the fiscal year which ended September 30, which was an increase of 8 per cent from the previous year.  The credit rating of the US plays a signficant role in the nation's debt affordability.

Enterpreneur has reported on tips for successful leaders by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Dimon is in charge of the largest bank in the U.S. which as of December 31 had about $4 trillion in assets. He has lead Chase for about 20 years since 2006. During a fireside chat with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen he discussed four principles which have helped him develop as a leader in the financial community. First, he recommends assessing everything "honestly, directly, forthrightly" dealing with performance. He says many companies don't follow this rule. And Dimon says "Don't try to use numbers to prove what you think. Try to use numbers to understand what you are doing." He went on to suggest that some people running things are a hot mess and they shouldn't be running things because they'll simply be a disaster. Dimon also thinks business leaders should have humility and grit. With humility he means it's important to show employees that you genuinely care about them and you should show you care about them and respect them. As for grit he means it's important to be able to quickly make decisions and stick with them. Entrepreneur

As crypto markets heat up there has been speculation Shiba Inu could rally to $1. What is standing in the way of such a dramatic increase in value is the outstanding number of Shib tokens presently in circulation is about 589.5 trillion. With this many tokens outstanding a price of $1 would make Shiba Inu worth 157 times more valuable than Apple which isn't a possible scenario. However, via Shib burns the number of outstanding Shib tokens can be dramatically decreased by sending the burned tokens to a dead wallet and taking them out of circulation.  Already about 410,742,813,612,330 Shib tokens have been burned. So the next move could be up to the anonymous creator of Shiba Inu, "Ryoshi".>>>The Motley Fool>>>Shiburn.com
