Risking Collateral Damage,
Much more serious was the bombing late on Saturday of an automobile bridge in neighboring Bryansk oblast, which faces Ukraine to the West and Belarus to the north. That bridge collapsed onto a train passing below, derailing it and causing damage that cost the lives of seven on board the train and sent more than 40 passengers to hospital with serious injuries.
The Russians have denounced the bridge bombings as state terrorism. This has been denied by Ukrainian authorities, who say such allegations are being made only for the purpose of stopping the peace process. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/06/01/news-of-the-weekend-of-31-may-1-june-ukrainian-terror-attacks-on-russian-civilian-trains-and-ukrainian-drone-attacks-on-russian-airfields-extending-as-far-away-as-irkutsk-in-eastern-siberia/
The attack this weekend took 18 months to prepare. The positive conclusion we may draw is that a follow-on attack is improbable if not impossible to carry out. Nonetheless, the events of the weekend highlight serious security problems that it will not be easy for Russian authorities to correct.
Specifically, it is now known that the Ukrainian drones were brought into the Russian Federation in truck-trailers. This means that the border inspections by Russian customs were strangely lax at more than one border crossing and on more than one date. Secondly it raises the questions about the complicity of the truck drivers, some of whom have now been arrested and who, under questioning say they had no idea what the containers held.
Then there are questions one must pose regarding the long time that these trailers were kept in place in the general vicinity of Russia’s most important air bases. How could their presence not have raised questions for local officials? https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/06/02/russias-talking-heads-discuss-the-ukrainian-attacks-on-air-bases-across-the-rf-this-weekend/
“Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk delivered a report regarding today’s operation. An absolutely brilliant result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range operation. Our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time.”...

A Czech court has handed a former teacher a seven-month suspended prison sentence for expressing pro-Russian views during a school lesson, local media reported on Thursday. Martina Bednarova was also banned from teaching for three years and ordered to complete a media literacy course. https://michaelwalshwriter.com/2025/05/31/prison-sentence-for-eu-schoolteacher-who-said-russia-is-right/
With 100% of the precincts reporting, conservative historian Karol Nawrocki had 50.9% of the votes, compared to 49.1% for leftist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who prematurely declared victory on Sunday evening after the first exit polls showed him at 50.3%. Among the key issues in the election were immigration, abortion, support for Ukraine, and Polish integration with the rest of Europe. When he takes office on August 6, Nawrocki -- a former boxer who leads the Institute for National Remembrance -- will succeed term-limited President Andrzej Duda. Like Nawrocki, Duda is associated with the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-endorsed-nationalist-narrowly-wins-polish-presidential-election

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”
There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.
The reason Gaza ceasefire negotiations have kept falling through under both the Biden and Trump administrations is that Israel, with the backing of the US government, keeps insisting on the right to resume its genocidal slaughter after a temporary intermission. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israels-backers-are-now-advocating
Mass displacement of Palestinians, part of Israeli military's "Gideon's Chariots" invasion, is to "prevent Palestinian fighters from returning to underground and above-ground infrastructure," reports Hebrew news site, Walla. https://trt.global/world/article/048ae9276269

This contradicts the prior public statements of Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who have several times made clear that the full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear facilities is a Washington red line. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-expected-reject-what-us-calls-acceptable-nuke-deal-proposal
On May 1, Dallas and Tyson, fraternal 18-month-old twins, were found dead by their mother after receiving the Hepatitis A, flu and DTaP vaccines on April 23. Police are investigating the parents, but Dr. Pierre Kory, who reviewed the twins’ medical records, told CHD.TV that, unfortunately, vaccine-related sudden infant deaths are “as common as the day is long.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/double-tragedy-dallas-tyson-twin-babies-deaths-vaccines/
An HHS spokesperson confirmed the news today, telling The Defender the vaccine was found not to be “scientifically or ethically justifiable,” after clinical trials identified safety and efficacy concerns. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/hhs-cancels-contracts-moderna-bird-flu-vaccine-safety-concerns/
It just approved Moderna’s newest COVID-19 mRNA shot—mNEXSPIKE—without a single placebo-controlled trial, directly contradicting recent public assurances from HHS that “all new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure.” https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-fda-goes-rogue-approves
After two decades of service, Chief Warrant Officer-3 Brandon Budge is being forced out of the Army for rejecting an experimental mRNA shot — even after President Trump’s Executive Order.
Even when his wife faced a high-risk pregnancy and doctors warned of possible early delivery, Budge’s request to remain stateside was denied. His command made it clear: “Even if your wife is on her deathbed, you won’t be coming home” — unless he complied with the mRNA shot mandate.
Desperate to be allowed to see his wife in the event of a medical emergency, Budge took matters into his own hands. He obtained an FDA-labeled version of the shot off-post, hoping it would satisfy the requirement and protect his family. But his command retaliated anyway. His promotion to CW-4 was revoked — costing him nearly $1,000 a month — and he was grounded from flight duty for 18 months. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/army-blackhawk-pilot-faces-discharge
Last week, the Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., released a report reaffirming its commitment to protecting public health and reducing toxic exposures. However, as Kennedy works to advance these values, the rest of the administration is pushing a pro-chemical, pro-corporate, pro-industrial agriculture agenda. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/maha-movement-uphill-battle-trump-administration-wages-war-organic-agriculture/
When asked what would need to change in the U.S. agricultural model to pivot toward growing more crops for domestic consumption, Anderson said: “I think we can physically grow more vegetables, but are they what people want, when they want them, and at a profitable price? Marketing windows prevent some crops from being profitably grown". “We often have higher costs than crops from other countries.”
