Israeli Foreign Minister: "The presence of Guterres as Secretary-General of the United Nations poses a threat to world peace."

This comes after #UN #SecretaryGeneral Antonio #Guterres invoked Article 99 for the first time since taking office.

This article states that "the Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which, in his judgment may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security."

The UN highlights the "magnitude of the loss of human life in Gaza and Israel, in such a short time" as a key factor in invoking this article in decades.

UN Chief Guterres calls for an 'immediate humanitarian ceasefire' in Gaza

The longest lasting of the false-flag operations conducted against Russia since the Special Military Operation started in February 2022 has been flying the flag of the United Nations (UN).

The chief flag-bearer has been the Secretary-General of the #UN, Antonio #Guterres, a Portuguese (lead image, left); he has manipulated, plotted, and lied his way through the Ukrainian hostage-taking at #Azovstal, during the Battle of #Mariupol; the Ukrainian attacks on the #Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant; and Ukrainian attempts to break the ports blockade with what the UN has been calling its “Black Sea #Grain Initiative”.

Reinforcing Guterres in these schemes of deceit have been his spokesman, American and Frenchman Stéphane Dujarric (Rothschild), Italian Rafael Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); and the negotiator of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, British lawyer Martin Griffiths (lead image, right) and https://twitter.com/. Griffiths came to his UN job from a Geneva organization funded by an anti-Russian of Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, the UK, Australia, Ireland, and Switzerland. It calls itself “The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue”.

Guterres’s bluff was called a year ago, on April 26, at the long-table incident in Moscow when President Vladimir Putin told Guterres he was wrong on the facts, biased in his public statements, and acting in violation of his UN authority.

“You can call it whatever name you like and have whatever bias in favour of those who did it, “ Putin told Guterres after getting him to confirm that the earphone to his interpreter was working. “But this was really an anti-constitutional coup. Unfortunately, our colleagues in the West preferred to ignore all this. After we recognised the independence of these states [Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics], they asked us to render them military aid because they were subjected to military actions, an armed aggression. In accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, Chapter VII, we were forced to do this by launching a special military operation…[About the Battle of Mariupol and the Azovstal hostages] Mr Secretary-General, you have been misled…The simplest thing for military personnel or members of the nationalist battalions is to release the civilians. It is a crime to keep civilians, if there are any there, as human shields.”

Putin did not shake hands to greet Guterres; he placed him further away than any head of state had ever been seated in conversation at the Kremlin before; Guterres squirmed. To CNN a day later in Kiev, Guterres lied about what had been said at the meeting. Later, when asked in New York to say what and when he knew of the foreign combatants at Azovstal, and the use of civilian hostage shields in the battle, Guterres refused to answer.

Sauver le climat ne suffira pas à sauver l'humanité ( sur Blast Info)

Lutter contre le changement climatique ne suffira pas à “sauver la planète”.

D’ailleurs ce n’est pas la planète qu’il faut sauver, elle survivra, ce sont plutôt ses habitants qui sont aujourd’hui en grave danger.
Or, pour préserver nos conditions de vie sur terre, on ne peut pas se contenter de régler le problème climatique.

On en parle encore trop peu mais le changement climatique n’est qu’une seule des 9 limites planétaires à ne pas dépasser.
Parmi ces autres équilibres, il y en a un qui est essentiel à notre survie et à celle des autres espèces : le maintien de la biodiversité. Or, aujourd’hui, les experts mondiaux le disent : la course au profit et à la croissance provoque et accélère l'effondrement de la biodiversité.
Et ce que l’on ne réalise pas c’est que nous dépendons de la stabilité des écosystèmes naturels et donc de la biodiversité pour tout : respirer un air sain, boire de l’eau potable, nous alimenter, nous habiller, être en bonne santé… La dégradation de la biodiversité a déjà un impact négatif sur plus de la moitié de l’humanité en matière de santé et de cadre de vie. Et plus de la moitié de l’économie mondiale (PIB) repose sur la bonne santé des écosystèmes.

Du 7 au 19 décembre s’est tenu un événement crucial pour cela : la COP 15 biodiversité à Montréal.
C’est la conférence sur la biodiversité la plus importante depuis 10 ans.
Elle a réuni les représentants de 190 pays et s’est lancé avec un objectif : adopter un nouvel accord international pour arrêter la destruction de la nature et donc de nous-mêmes.
Je sais bien qu’un événement comme celui-ci ne déchaîne pas les foules et ne fait pas les audiences de la coupe du monde ! Pourtant c’est de notre survie collective qu’il s’agit.
De défendre tout ce à quoi nous tenons le plus au monde.Pourquoi est-il essentiel aujourd’hui d’arrêter le massacre, de régénérer le monde vivant et comment y arriver ? Décryptage

‘There Is No Way To Fool Physics’: Climate Breakdown And State-Corporate Madness

Media Lens
In the terrifying opening to his 2020 novel, ‘The Ministry for the Future’, Kim Stanley Robinson depicts an intense heatwave in India. (...)

This month, an intense heatwave did indeed hit northern India with temperatures reaching a record high of 49.2C in parts of Delhi. This was the fifth heatwave in the Indian capital since March. (...)

Meanwhile, the highest daily level of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere was recorded. (...)

Scientists are warning that the 1.5C global heating limit set by governments is about to be breached. (...)

On top of all that, climate scientists recently reported that global warming could cause the most cataclysmic extinction of marine life in the past 250 million years.

If the news media were not owned and run for the benefit of state-corporate elites, all this would be huge headline news – day after day, month after month. There would be vigorous debate across all the main media outlets, building pressure on governments to implement the urgent radical changes required to avert the worst consequences of the climate crisis. (...)

For example, Corporate Europe Observatory, a non-profit research and campaign group which monitors and exposes corporate lobbying on EU policy making, recently warned that:

‘Fossil fuel giants are shaping the EU’s response to the energy crisis.’

Six big energy companies were named: Shell, BP, Total, ENI, E.ON and Vattenfall. (...)

In the never-ending corporate quest for profit, even as the planet’s life support systems are failing, oil and gas corporations ‘are planning scores of vast projects that threaten to shatter the 1.5C climate goal.’ If governments allow the projects to proceed, these ‘carbon bombs’ will ‘trigger catastrophic climate breakdown.’ (...)

In this country [UK], the madness extends to all three of the main political parties – Labour, Liberal Democrats and Conservative – calling for climate protesters to be ‘cracked down on’ and for their rational demands to be rejected. (...)

Veteran climate scientist James Hansen, who warned the US Congress of the dangers of global warming as early as 1988, injected some reality missing from ‘mainstream’ reporting:

‘There is no indication that incumbent governments are even considering the fundamental actions that are needed to slow and reverse climate change.’

As we wrote at the time, last year’s UN Climate Summit in Glasgow was a greenwashing festival, full of empty rhetoric. Last month, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said it was ‘now or never’ to save humanity. (...)

Nasa climate scientist Peter Kalmus (...) warned:

‘Earth breakdown is much worse than most people realize. The science indicates that as fossil fuels continue to heat our planet, everything we love is at risk.’ (...)

It will take truly massive, sustained public activism – perhaps on a scale never seen before in human history – to shift course away from climate catastrophe. (...)

The historical record also shows that improvements in society are rarely, if ever, bestowed as gifts from above. Power typically only ever makes concessions when it is forced to do so by pressure from below.

Time is running out too rapidly to fundamentally reform society and create a real democracy that people deserve. The immediate priority is to exert insurmountable pressure on existing power structures, not least our own governments, to change course away from climate catastrophe. If we cannot do that, there will be no human civilisation to reform or restructure.
