Tahasang nagpakalat ng fake news ang sangay ng TV5 network na News5 tungkol sa kaisahan ng Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Ang lalaking nagtago sa pangalang "Sam" ay ipinakilala na "may posisyon sa simbahan." Kaduda-duda ang pananalita ng taong ito dahil aniya, ang pangalan ng mga itinitiwalag ay binabasa sa "isang kapuluan" at gumamit pa ng terminong "kasapi" at "excommunicated."

Among the offensive weapons which are playing an important role are US-made Javelin missile launchers capable of piercing the most sophisticated armour such as T-90 Russian tanks and Turkish drones.

More extreme weather events. 2. Marcos Jr. elected president. 3. Chaotic, possibly to the point of failure, midterm elections in the US. 4. A Black Swan, i.e., an unexpected and unpredictable event of great impact. 5. Crypto market crash. 6. Significant economic slowdown in China.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, himself a Hindu extremist, has been subtly...

Israel's central bank will add Chinese yuan while slashing its dollar and euro holdings in a move to diversify its reserve allocations and lengthen its investment horizon, Bloomberg reported. "We need to look at the need to earn a return on the reserves that will cover the costs of the liability," Deputy Governor of the Bank of Israel, Andrew Abir, said in an interview. In addition to the yuan, the bank will also add the Canadian and Australian dollars, signaling a shift in the bank's "whole investment guidelines and philosophy," Abir said. Previously, the bank only held US dollars, euros, and the British pound. Israel's reserves stockpile will surpass $200 billion for the first time. Moving forward, the yuan will take up 2% of the...

Celebrated every 22nd of April founded in 1970 Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. Oceans filling with plastic and turning more acidic.
