Farmer uprising spreading like wildfire across Europe The growing farmer demonstrations in the EU show no signs of abating soon‚ as farmers in Poland join the fray to register their distaste of the 27-member bloc’s agricultural policies. Polish farmers plan a complete blockade of the Poland-Ukraine border crossing‚ including highways‚ during an industrial action on February 9 to lambast the EU’s agricultural policy‚ according to the Solidarity trade union. “The position of Brussels from January 2024 cannot be accepted by our farming community. Moreover‚ the inaction of the Polish authorities and plans to cooperate with the European Commission and respect all its decisions regarding the import of agricultural products and food from Ukraine leave us no choice but to announce a general strike‚” the protesters said in a statement. The trade union has appealed to their fellow citizens to cooperate and show understanding regarding the ensuing situation as they fight for their “common good” to forestall the impoverishment of Polish families. The planned protests by farmers in Poland come on the heels of the escalating farmer protests in several European Union member countries. The agitating farmers list reasons like EU markets being flooded with cheap and tax-free agricultural products from Ukraine‚ agricultural subsidy cutbacks‚ etc. Save 40% on DNA Force Plus NOW!

Reporters find toxic chemicals in rivers and streams around Ohio town devastated by train derailment President Biden’s planned trip to East Palestine‚ Ohio‚ is pure politics as the election cycle begins. The White House plans to do a victory lap on its response to the train derailment that nuked the small town with toxic chemicals one year ago. Yet‚ a new report reveals the federal government’s response has been sub-par‚ with cancer-causing chemicals still found in surrounding rivers and streams.  One year after the Norfolk Southern train derailment‚ NewsNation found toxic chemicals in rivers and streams around East Palestine. This comes even as the Environment Protection Agency has given residents the all-clear to return.  As residents return‚ some are developing “rashes‚ chronic nose bleeds‚ respiratory infections and many other side effects‚” according to NewsNation.  “I undressed to get into the shower‚ and I had a rash all over the side of my face on both sides and all over my chest‚” East Palestine resident Kaitlyn said.Save 40% on DNA Force Plus NOW! Try it today and see why so many listeners have made it an essential part of their daily routine!Jessica Conard‚ another resident‚ said‚ “We are still experiencing some acute health care impacts” after the train derailment one year ago. “Ultimately‚ what we need to understand is that there are still unmet needs here in terms of medical‚ and the health of this community needs to come first‚” Conard said.  Dr. Arthur Chang‚ the chief medical officer in the CDC’s environmental health division‚ confirmed to the media outlet a chemical exposure blanketed the town and persisting symptoms from residents are proof:  “We may not know how to get rid of the vinyl chloride from the body‚ but we know how to treat those cancers.”  Meanwhile‚ shortly after the incident‚ Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine asked the Biden administration to issue a disaster declaration after 116‚000 gallons of the carcinogen vinyl chloride exploded after the train derailment. The White House has since ignored this request while residents continue to suffer health problems.  NewsNation pointed out‚ “Despite calls for concern‚ the CDC is not testing the health of East Palestine residents or collecting samples.”  We have questions: Why is that?Why is the federal government ignoring the suffering in East Palestine? However‚ separate from the federal government‚ Erin Haynes‚ a professor at the University of Kentucky‚ has been tracking the health of 400 residents.  Haynes said‚ “Three out of four of the participants reported having at least one new health symptom‚” adding‚ “Eighty percent of the respondents reported an upper respiratory health symptom.” “The main question is if these symptoms remain. And half of the residents‚ even in our follow-ups‚ are saying that their symptoms remain‚” she said. Shockingly‚ NewsNation said‚ “Haynes is the only person tracking the short and long-term health effects in the community.”  “Unfortunately‚ I have not seen an organized public health response from our federal agencies‚” Haynes continued‚ noting‚ “The public health response was severely lacking.” More from NewsNation: Americans have witnessed the Biden administration’s neglect of East Palestine‚ prioritizing endless foreign wars and a border invasion while their own citizens suffered in what could be one of the worst chemical disasters in years.  Someone needs to tell the clueless Biden team their victory lap is not only premature but a disgrace to the residents who are suffering. Clearly‚ Ukraine was more important than East Palestine. Recall days after the derailment… East Palestine‚ Ohio Mayor Trent Conaway: “I found out today through one of the briefings that [Biden] was in the Ukraine giving millions to people over there and doing nothing for us. I’m furious.”pic.twitter.com/8jn32aI4kc— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) February 21‚ 2023

'Asylum seekers' to be issued pre-paid debit cards to fund their lifestyles in Germany‚ instead of cash payments Asylum seekers in Germany will cease receiving cash payments during the course of this year‚ and will be issued special debit cards instead‚ the governor of Hesse‚ Boris Rhein‚ has announced. The cards will reportedly have limited functionality‚ with features like free cash withdrawal and transfers to recipients inside and outside of Germany disabled. A number of municipalities across the country have introduced the new payment method ahead of nation-wide implementation. These include several communities in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Thuringia. Bild reported last month that at least 15 asylum seekers left their localities after Thuringian authorities imposed the new protocols. Speaking on Wednesday‚ Rhein revealed that 14 out of 16 German states had agreed on uniform standards for such cards‚ with Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern seeking other schemes. They will‚ however‚ introduce the new payment method as well‚ which is expected to be finalized by this summer. According to Rhein‚ “with the introduction of the payment card we reduce the administrative burden on local municipalities [and] prevent the possibility of transferring money from state subsidies to countries of origin‚ and thus combat the inhuman human-trafficking crime.” The pre-paid card will not be linked to an account‚ and will not feature card-to-card transfers within Germany or to recipients abroad. It will also not function in any country other than Germany‚ should an asylum seeker travel elsewhere. Local governments will also have the option of limiting the card’s functionality solely to a single region.Our fan-favorite Turbo Force Plus is now 40% off!

Asylum seekers will apparently be able to withdraw small amounts of cash using the cards‚ with the monthly ceiling to be determined by local authorities. While German Finance Minister Christian Lindner hailed the scheme as a “milestone‚” critics from the left have denounced the measure as “cheap populism” and “discrimination.” More than 350‚000 people applied for asylum in Germany in 2023‚ the highest number since 2016 and a 51% rise compared with the previous year‚ the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) reported in early January. Last month‚ Germany’s parliament passed legislation that facilitates the deportation of failed asylum seekers. Among other things‚ the new rules considerably extend the custody period pending deportation in a bid to prevent situations where failed applicants simply abscond around the time they are supposed to be sent home. Moreover‚ police were granted additional power to search migrant accommodations and access their cell phones to facilitate identification of asylum seekers.
