Voters in Chile rejected a brand new proposed Constitution that would have made the conservative Latin American country into one of the most far-left countries in the world.

The New York Times noted that the new Constitution would have legalized abortion, mandated universal government-run healthcare, promoted woke gender initiatives, granted rights to animals and the environment, and would have given them government-provided care “from birth to death,” including a right to housing, education, retirement benefits, internet, free legal advice, sanitation and more.

The extreme Constitution would have also eliminated the country’s Senate, something that many on far-left want to happen in the U.S.

With nearly 75% of the votes counted, an overwhelming majority of Chileans, almost two-thirds, rejected the attempt to transform the country into a radical leftist social experiment.

Well, the night is still young and you never know when a water main might break.

Something Very Strange is Happening with the Ukraine War

Diplomacy Watch: Did Boris Johnson help stop a peace deal in Ukraine?

Russia and Ukraine may have agreed on a tentative deal to end the war in April, according to a recent piece in Foreign Affairs.

“Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement,” wrote Fiona Hill and Angela Stent. “Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and instead receive security guarantees from a number of countries.”

The news highlights the impact of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s efforts to stop negotiations, as journalist Branko Marcetic noted on Twitter. The decision to scuttle the deal coincided with Johnson’s April visit to Kyiv, during which he reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to break off talks with Russia for two key reasons: Putin cannot be negotiated with, and the West isn’t ready for the war to end.

The Daily Sceptic- Ivermectin Cuts Covid Mortality by 92%, Major Study Finds – Why is it Still Not Approved?

Regular use of ivermectin led to a 100% reduction in hospitalisation rate, a 92% reduction in mortality rate and an 86% reduction in the risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection when compared to non-users, a major new study has found.

The study, published in the medical journal Cureus, analysed data from 223,128 people from the city of Itajaí in Brazil and is the largest study of its kind, giving its findings a high degree of certainty. Senior author Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani wrote on Twitter: “An observational study with the size and level of analysis as ours is hardly achieved and infeasible to be conducted as a randomised clinical trial. Conclusions are hard to be refuted. Data is data, regardless of your beliefs.”

Crumbling narratives

Safe and Effective Wuhan Flu 14 Comments

For over two years we were admonished to listen to the experts. It’s only now that the leftist corporate media is starting to pick up on the fact that there is, in fact, widespread and growing disagreement among the “experts” regarding Covid. The infighting is getting worse as many of the experts are now furiously pedaling their bicycles in reverse.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the real standard was never evidence or science, but rather the narrative. In the case of Covid, it was all about promoting the most apocalyptic vision possible. Now that the apocalypse failed to arrive, the revolution is eating its children. Dr. Atwal had better grow eyes in the back of his head and soon.

“Before COVID … colds went around. Most people did well. Some people still ended up in hospital back then. That was a severe outcome,” he said at a Friday news conference.

“There’s such a focus on infection right now occurring, but it’s OK to get infected,” said Atwal. “You’re building your natural immunity, so that’s good.”

Financial Times- How would a G7 price cap on Russian oil would work?

On Friday, finance ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US gave the go-ahead for such a scheme, declaring that it would “build on and amplify the reach of existing sanctions”.

The success of the proposals will hinge on the readiness of big importers of Russian oil, including India and China, to go along with the scheme. So far, neither country has indicated a willingness to participate. Russia has warned it would retaliate against any country that takes part by withholding shipments of oil.

Soaring energy costs are fueling inflation, undermining the euro currency, and disrupting factories as Russia squeezes supplies to the continent amid its six-month war on Ukraine. With Europe already heading toward recession, failure to contain the crisis threatens to spur social unrest and political upheaval if the supply crunch prompts blackouts and cold homes this winter.

The continent relies heavily on liquefied natural gas imports to fill the gap left by Russia, but competition for the fuel with Asia has intensified after a relative lull earlier this summer. Asian prices are also surging as utilities there rush to secure supplies ahead of the cold season.

European Union energy ministers may hold an emergency meeting to discuss price spikes as leaders strike a more urgent tone. Member states have already earmarked almost $280 billion to ease the price burden but that is unlikely to be enough, while more than half of UK households risk being pushed into energy poverty with bills likely to rise by roughly 80% from October. […]

The rally is being accelerated by Electricite de France SA’s announcement that more of its reactors will take longer to come back online after halts. Coupled with tighter hydropower supplies, that means higher demand for gas in power generation.
