POWER GRID EMERGENCY across 13 states + D.C...

The Federal Government just declared a POWER GRID EMERGENCY across 13 states + D.C...

Patrick Humphrey

Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia... and Washington D.C. The Department of Energy just issued an emergency order to PJM, the grid that powers 65 MILLION people... running Oct 13 through Oct 16. Continued HOT temperatures are straining the grid... so power plants are now allowed to run PAST their pollution limits just to keep the lights on... And as a LAST RESORT before rolling blackouts... PJM can force data centers and other big power users off the grid and onto their backup generators. The grid could have as little as ~900 MW of cushion left...

This is NOT normal.

UN Adopts New Pandemic Preparedness Declaration in 153–3 Vote — Trump’s America Joins Israel and Argentina in Defiant Opposition

GLOBALIST POWER GRAB? UN Adopts New Pandemic Preparedness Declaration in 153–3 Vote — Trump’s America Joins Israel and Argentina in Defiant Opposition

The United Nations General Assembly rammed through another non-binding “political declaration” on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response on Tuesday by a lopsided 153–3 vote. The only countries that voted no were the United States, Israel, and Argentina. New Zealand and Paraguay abstained.

According to UN News, the declaration calls for stronger international cooperation on pandemic preparedness and welcomes the World Health Organization’s controversial Pandemic Agreement, adopted in May 2025.

The declaration is officially nonbinding, meaning it does not itself give the WHO legal authority to impose lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or other public health restrictions on Americans.

But the overwhelming vote raises a serious political question: How much influence should international health bureaucracies have over the decisions of sovereign nations?

For the Trump administration, the answer has been clear: America’s public health decisions must remain under American control.

More on Health Policy Watch:

During Monday’s debate, the US objected to the declaration’s use of “sexual and reproductive health (SRH) language” – ironically, finding common cause with Iran on this.

“While we support strengthening health systems and protecting women’s health, we do not support references to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, and ‘sexual and reproductive health care service’s without caveats and qualification,” the US delegate said.

“The United States strongly opposes the inclusion of harmful gender ideology, including comprehensive sexuality education, as it is detrimental to the well-being and development of children and undermines parental authority.”

Echoing the US’s opposition to this language, Iran said SRH references “do not enjoy universal agreement and cannot be construed as creating an international obligation or commitment.”

The declaration commits member states to “mainstream gender equality” and ensure “universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services, including for family planning,” by 2030. It does not refer to “reproductive rights”, gender ideology, or comprehensive sexuality education.

Canada and Australia argued that the document’s language “weakened commitments” to gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed the General Assembly’s decision, describing it as a major commitment to international cooperation.

“WHO welcomes this strong commitment by UN Member States to continue working together on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response,” said World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

"We urge countries to now fulfil the commitments they have made – especially to finalize negotiations on the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing system (PABS) annex, so the WHO Pandemic Agreement can be opened for signature, begin the process of ratification and enter into force as international law.”

The vote came after the Trump administration and several other countries objected to the declaration during a September 25 high-level meeting at UN headquarters in New York.

The objections prevented the document from being adopted by consensus, forcing the issue back to the General Assembly for a formal vote.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the United States opposed provisions concerning WHO influence, contested terminology, and unfinished negotiations over international pathogen-sharing arrangements.

The Trump administration argued that the declaration contained politically divisive language and referenced negotiations that had not yet been completed.

The United States nevertheless maintained that it was prepared to cooperate with international partners to combat dangerous outbreaks at their source.

Italy also raised objections during the September negotiations, specifically challenging language concerning misinformation, disinformation, and what UN officials described as infodemic management.

However, Italy was not among the three countries that ultimately voted against the declaration on October 12.

Europe's Diesel Shortage Is A Problem Created By Political Design

Europe's Diesel Shortage Is A Problem Created By Political Design

Daniel Lacalle

The diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will not solve the diesel shortage, considering the magnitude of the problem created by years of misguided, wrongly called "environmental policies." Complaining about diesel prices and the US-Russia deal while eliminating domestic refining capacity and bombing refineries is just another example of bureaucratic hypocrisy.

Renewables are important, but they cannot substitute diesel, just as they have been unable to offset the importance of natural gas. Diesel is essential for every segment of the economy, from transport, manufacturing, and farming to distribution. Now, European politicians complain. However, governments cannot negotiate away years of lost refining capacity. Europe's vulnerability is structural. 

Yes, war has intensified it, but policy choices helped create an energy system increasingly dependent on imported fuels, expensive infrastructure, and high taxation. Furthermore, the risk is that - as happened in the past - oil and gasoline prices may fall, and the European businesses and families will still pay much higher energy and fuel prices.

According to European Commission figures and comparisons based on official European and US data, Europe suffers an enormous energy-cost disadvantage after two decades of massive subsidies and renewable rollout. Industrial electricity prices are more than twice those in the United States, while industrial natural gas prices reach four times US levels. At the pump, European consumers pay approximately 47% more for diesel and 70% more for gasoline. This is not simply an oil-price problem. It is an enormous competitiveness problem that permeates throughout the economy.

On October 9, Trump announced that Russia would release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November, one million thereafter, and another three million, subject to refinery conditions. Washington temporarily authorized Russian diesel transactions until April 7, 2027. However, these are announced commitments, not confirmed deliveries. It may mitigate but not solve the diesel crisis.

The distinction is important. A sanctions exemption may permit trade, but it cannot repair damaged processing units. According to International Energy Agency estimates, Russian diesel production has suffered a temporary but significant blow, declining almost 30% following Ukrainian attacks.

The important element is a policy choice, not a consequence of war.

Europe's refining contraction is the key factor behind the structural diesel problem. It has lost more than 20% of refining capacity since 2009. At the end of 2025, the EU, Britain, Norway, and Switzerland had 72 mainstream refineries and an annual primary processing capacity of 625.4 million tonnes, down 167.6 million tonnes. Industry association FuelsEurope counts 35 closures since 2009.

The deterioration did not stop with the 2022 Ukraine war and has continued recently. Europe lost almost 400,000 barrels per day of refining capacity between 2024 and 2025, with five refineries closing over two years. This trend is a continuing reduction in the infrastructure needed to turn crude into usable fuel.

Environmental policy is part of this story, but taxation and policy choices have aggravated the problem. Governments made it uneconomical to upgrade aging facilities or build new units. Furthermore, at least five closed European facilities abandoned crude processing through conversion into biorefineries. These conversions worsened conventional refining capacity and did not offer a reliable and sustainable alternative.

The policy mistake is obvious and reminds us of the same errors committed with nuclear plants and natural gas supply. Eliminating capacity is a policy mistake without a credible path to reduce diesel's importance. 

This move was not a transition but a jump into the void. Europe now relies more heavily on refined products from the Middle East, the United States, and India. Importing products is not an environmental policy success. "Not in my backyard" led to dependency and loss of competitiveness. The EU was the fourth-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels, accounting for 8% (EUR 1.2 bn) of Russia's export revenues from the top five importers in August 2026, according to CREA.

"Our Message Is: Smash Everything"; Belgian Students Expose Ignorance Over Protest Purposes In Revealing Video

"Our Message Is: Smash Everything"; Belgian Students Expose Ignorance Over Protest Purposes In Revealing Video

 Remix News Staff 

A video clip of a Black male student at ongoing protests in Belgium showed him saying he does not know why he is protesting, and that his message is to "smash everything."

The clip is being used as another piece of evidence that the protests are not really about reforms or improving education standards, but instead serve as a pretext for ethnic minorities to riot, destroy, and attack police.

After he calls for protesters to "smash everything," the crowd of Black youths and other ethnic minorities, many heavily masked, began hooting and screaming in response. The video further shows burning shared bicycles and electric scooters, the same products many on the left promote as an alternative to CO2-producing cars and trucks.

In a post from Belgian political activist Dries Van Langenhove, he writes about the video: "European people can't comprehend this because we're simply not the same. They destroy. It's what they do. It's who they are. Politicians now come up with all sorts of fake 'solutions': more money for education, more youth detention centres, military conscription, ... but it's all nonsense. There is only one real solution: they have to go back."

The footage has circulated amid student protests in French-speaking Belgium, particularly in Liège and Brussels. The media reports that the protests are fueled by rising education costs, overcrowded classrooms and reforms in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. However, just as with the student protests in France, many of the participants cannot articulate any clear demand.

In France, many of the protests have devolved into large-scale riots, including attacks on teachers, police officers, and schools. Dozens of arsons have also partially destroyed schools across France, further raising questions about what the true demands and motives of the protesters are.

BREAKING: Rioters set fire to the entrance of Vauquelin High School in Paris and blocked the exits when staff tried to put the fire out. A film crew recorded the terrifying attempted murder.

“The school staff was unable to put out the fire. The rioters blocked them just as the extinguisher nozzle came out; they blocked the exit.” “The fire continues. You see all the silhouettes moving behind it; they continue to feed this fire, making it stronger and stronger. The school staff is not even going to try to put it out anymore; they can’t manage it. We can hear the principal here asking the hundred confined students to step back and move up to the first floor.” The building was full of staff, students, and journalists, but these rioters appear ready to kill anyone still inside the vocational chemistry school.

In Belgium, authorities have also reported property damage, arson and clashes with police. Local media and police cited more than 100 arrests in Liège in recent days alone, many involving minors, with overall detentions since early October approaching or exceeding 200 in some counts.

Shop windows were smashed, fires set and objects thrown at officers; one video game retailer reported about €30,000 in stolen goods.

Interior Minister Bernard Quintin has said an Antifa-type movement is manipulating children into violence. "Adults who manipulate children in order to put across violent political messages. That is totally unacceptable," he said.

One brave man tried to put out the fires in Liège, Belgium. He was brutally attacked by a frenzied crowd. The "student protests" are devolving into large-scale rioting, arson, and attacks on innocents. (video)

The student actions overlapped with a national strike Friday organized by Belgium's major unions against government austerity measures aimed at reducing the deficit under Prime Minister Bart De Wever. Police estimated about 30,000 participants in the Brussels march, which was largely peaceful, though smaller groups of masked youths threw bottles, bricks, stones and fireworks, set fires and damaged property near the central station. Officers used water cannons and tear gas; authorities reported 21 detentions or arrests, including 13 minors.
