Conservative President Karol Nawrocki is Poland’s Commander-in-Chief, but if the ruling liberal coalition’s Defense Minister places some Polish troops under EU control through the “European Legion”, then it’s unclear whether he could prevent them from being deployed to Ukraine.

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski recently proposed the creation of a “European Legion” in an interview with Greek media. In his words, “I strongly advocate for a ‘European Legion’, a dedicated, standing force that could recruit seasoned professionals from the broader European family, including battle-hardened Ukrainian veterans after the war. The bottom line is that Europe must take ownership of its own security.”

He then added that “We cannot call Washington every time there is a fire in our backyard – whether that is a conventional threat or Moscow weaponizing migration flows from Africa and the Middle East against the EU. However, let’s be absolutely clear: This is not about building a parallel alternative to NATO or duplicating structures. What we need is a stronger European pillar within a stronger NATO. Our interests are complementary, not contradictory.”

Some observers were surprised by this since Sikorski rejected Zelensky’s proposed “Army of Europe” a year and a half ago. As Poland’s top diplomat said at the time, “I think we should be careful with this term because different people understand different things. If you understand by it the unification of national armies, it will not happen.” Therein lies the principal difference since the “Army of Europe” is about uniting national armies, which is a pipe dream, while the “European Legion” is a voluntary force.

To elaborate more on the latter, it appears that what Sikorski has in mind is a rapid reaction force comprised of troops from EU countries and Ukraine, which would presumably be under the leadership of some EU body. The purpose would be to respond to crises as they erupt, thus serving as tripwires for the involvement of either NATO as a whole or “coalitions of the willing” within the EU due to the presence of their troops in whatever conflict zone it might be.

Sikorski’s proposal comes two months after Britain, France, and Germany – collectively referred to as the E3 and the leaders of the reportedly uncertain “coalition of the willing” – confirmed that they plan to deploy troops to Ukraine after a ceasefire. Conservative President Karol Nawrocki, who’s the bête noire of the ruling liberal coalition that Sikorski represents, pledged in writing in May 2025 ahead of the second round of the presidential election that he won’t allow Polish troops to be sent to Ukraine.

He’s the Commander-in-Chief, but if the liberal Defense Minister places some Polish troops under EU control through the “European Legion”, then it’s unclear whether Nawrocki could prevent them from being deployed to Ukraine as part of the “coalition of the willing’s” plans. Polish society has soured on Ukraine in recent months since Zelensky glorified the Volhynia Genocide’s OUN-UPA culprits, so any such move by the ruling liberals could ruin their re-election bid ahead of fall 2027’s next Sejm elections.

Nevertheless, “The Recent Polish-German Defense Pact Indisputably Prioritizes Berlin’s Interests Over Warsaw’s”, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk is so close to Germany that the conservative opposition’s grey cardinal once accused him of being a “German agent”. It therefore can’t be ruled out that he’d risk sacrificing his hold on power next year if Germany demanded that Poland deploy troops to Ukraine through the “European Legion”, but whether Russia would tolerate such a mission is another question.

“Evidence of illness is not required” to trigger international pandemic reporting, WHO declares

by Jon Fleetwood (Substack and following at Instagram / X / Facebook)

The World Health Organization (WHO) says evidence that a person is actually sick is not required for a “laboratory-confirmed” human influenza infection with “the potential to cause a pandemic” to trigger mandatory international reporting.

“Evidence of illness is not required for this report,” WHO states in its latest Influenza at the Human-Animal Interface assessment, which covered July 8 through August 7, 2026.

WHO says countries must “immediately notify WHO of any laboratory-confirmed case of a recent human infection caused by an influenza A virus with the potential to cause a pandemic.”

Then, immediately afterward:

“Evidence of illness is not required for this report.”

The statement raises an obvious question: If evidence of illness is not required to set off a chain of events that could trigger authoritarian international pandemic response, what evidence is required?

WHO points to a “laboratory-confirmed” finding.

But WHO’s own influenza laboratory manual shows that such determinations are made using real-time RT-PCR tests.

But PCR does not directly observe a virus.

It measures fluorescence (the amount of light emitted) from test chemicals mixed with a sample.

WHO describes PCR methods using fluorescent dyes and probes carrying a fluorescent reporter and quencher.

But fluorescence can also increase through unintended pathways, potentially contributing to a false-positive reading.

Those pathways include reagent cross-reactions, probe cleavage or degradation, reporter or quencher detachment or degradation, optical cross-talk, and changes in reporter–quencher behavior caused by heat—which PCR intentionally applies to the sample over and over during testing.

WHO’s manual confirms that PCR repeatedly heats the test material, including to 95°C, and that real-time PCR results are evaluated by whether fluorescence rises above a threshold.

It also explicitly acknowledges background signal, contamination, and false-positive results.

The implications are difficult to ignore.

This is one of four ‘first name’ streets on the north side of Sylvan Avenue — the others being Lesley, Graham and David. The belief is they were named after the developers’ kids or pets.

One of the big reasons the Globalist Cabal doesn’t like Russia

from The Professionalist

The first domino has fallen. Vladimir Putin has unleashed a storm no globalist can contain. Russia has officially purged the Rothschild banking cartel from its territory. This is more than financial news: it’s the first major blow to the heart of the New World Order.

“Our future generations will be born free from the chains of the Rothschilds around their wrists and ankles,” Putin thundered before the Russian Parliament. That statement shattered decades of silent global slavery.

For over two centuries, the Rothschilds ruled through economic conquest: central banks, manufactured crises, and IMF slavery. Their strategy: collapse economies, offer bailouts, and demand total control. Putin saw it—and destroyed it. He expelled their oligarch puppets, confiscated assets, and dismantled their influence from within. The untouchables have just been hit—and hard.

The biggest blow? DE-DOLLARISATION. Putin launched a full offensive against the Rothschilds’ favorite weapon: the US dollar. By replacing dollar-based trade with gold, rubles, and BRICS-backed currencies, he neutralized the IMF’s noose and broke the globalist monopoly.

“They said we would collapse. But we are stronger, freer, and no longer kneel before bankers,” Putin declared.

This is not just about Russia. It’s a global signal. A warning shot. A revolution underway. From Latin America to Africa, the world is watching and preparing to rise.

Putin’s message to the elites: YOU DO NOT OWN THE WORLD.

The Rothschilds built their empire on lies, theft, and manufactured dependence. Putin exposed and crushed their machinery. No more secret deals. No more Rothschild-controlled assets bleeding nations dry.

This is a war: economic, spiritual, existential.

Russia is free. The Rothschilds are staggering. And the peoples of Earth have just received a map to liberation.

RCR’s investigation into the teen Covid so-called ‘vaccine’ rollout is spreading, after revealing 311,257 teenagers received dose two after officials had been advised of the increased myocarditis risk. Independent media outlets are now picking up the story and putting the questions in front of their audiences.

Meanwhile, the silence from New Zealand’s mainstream media is deafening. RCR sent out a press release detailing our investigation to every media outlet in the country, yet not one has reported on the story or publicly examined the evidence.

This investigation isn’t based on rumours or anonymous claims. It is built on official Government documents, OIA releases, internal emails and Health NZ vaccination data.

As RCR reported last week, former Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall dismissed the investigation as “fake news,” but did not explain which part of the evidence she disputes.

RCR also offered the right of reply to the Vaccine Ministers, Dr Ian Town and Dr Ashley Bloomfield. We received no response from Chris Hipkins, Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson or Ayesha Verrall. Andrew Little, now Wellington Mayor, replied to say that this had been interrogated in the Phase 2 Covid Commission. So did Dr Ian Town.  Ashley Bloomfield responded but said he had no comment to make.

311,257 teenagers received dose two after officials and Vaccine Ministers had been advised of the increased myocarditis risk. Those numbers come from Health NZ. The advice is documented. And a former minister has dismissed the investigation as “fake news”. Where is the mainstream media scrutiny?

Thank you to everyone who has picked up the story, shared it and helped get the evidence in front of more New Zealanders.

The documents are public. The numbers are official. The silence is getting harder to explain.

“Better Starts Now” — didn’t they have 6 years from 2017 to 2023 for “Better” to start?

“Let’s Do This” in 2017 soon resulted in “Let’s Fix This” as a riposte and “Let’s Keep Moving” in 2020 was obvious as “in the wrong direction.”

In 2023 they decided to recycle a slogan used by the New Democratic Party of Canada during the 2019 federal election campaign: “In it for you.” It was apparant that “you” didn’t mean everyone, rather, a very select group — see this post.

Portugal has just banned people from concealing their face in public places. This means that it is now illegal for people to cover their face with a face veil such as with a burqa or niqab.

There are a few exceptions such as religious places and for situations justified by reasons such as health reasons or artistic reasons.

In practice, it will be illegal to wear full face veils in virtually all public places ”for reasons of security and public order”. Other aspects for this new law is social integration, social trust and that the ability to recognize each other is indispensable in a democratic and free society.

If anyone is found to intentionally violate this new law, they risk fines of up to €3000.

But it doesn’t stop there. If anyone is found to force someone to conceal their face on the basis of being man or a woman, they can be sentence up to 2 years in prison. This means that if a man forces a woman to wear a burqa or niqab by ”coercion, abuse of authority or abuse of power”, he can be sent to prison for 2 years.If the victim is a minor, the sentence is increased so that the prison sentence could be 2 years and 8 months

This law was originally initiated by the right-wing Chega party. However, the left in Portugal has been strongly opposed to this new law. The Communists claimed that this law will be ”continuing to feed hate speech”. Another leftist party called Livre has accused the right-wing of creating a ”moral panic”. The Socialist party were also strongly opposed to this law.

The right wants to protect women from being forced to cover their face and to protect the democratic and free society. And the left goes into a panic over it.

And Italy plans to ban Islamic face coverings in public

In the latest move from Georgia Meloni’s government in Italy, it is also planning to completely ban people from wearing the burqa and niqab in public places, schools, shops, offices and universities across the country.

This last weekend, we got National where we need them: committed to no new taxes.

That didn’t happen by accident. It represents the years of hard work pushing back against new taxes, higher taxes, and politicians dreaming up ever more creative ways of getting their hands on your money.

National has now drawn a line in the sand. But now the focus is on Labour.

Just as National shut the door on new taxes, Labour gave us a good indication of what they are planning for the other side of the election.

As Te Pou [The Post]‘s political editor put it yesterday morning:

Fight Chris Hipkins’ and his plan to rinse and repeat Ardern-style ‘tax and spend’ policy.!

Labour wants Government spending to eventually sit at around 33 percent of GDP. National’s target is around 30 percent.

These percentage differences might sound small, but every 1 percent of GDP is worth around $4.35 billion.

And Labour isn’t talking about a temporary spending increase. It wants a structurally larger state, with permanently higher spending funded by permanently higher Government revenue.

Labour has a problem: the numbers don’t add up.

To get Government revenue to 33 percent of GDP by 2031 would require around $10.3 billion a year in additional revenue.

That’s $4,971 more tax for the average household when we can least afford it.

Labour’s Capital Gains Tax is forecast to bring in just $1.3 billion.

Labour has also signalled changes to interest deductibility for landlords and kept the possibility of a bank levy alive.

But even with those taxes, there’s still an enormous hole.

We need your support to make sure taxpayers know what’s at stake before they make up their minds. 

The election is on a knife-edge.

Right now the election is neck-and-neck. 

Today’s RNZ-Reid Research Poll has the Opportunity Party as the kingmaker. *

Labour will need the Greens, Te Pāti Māori and TOP to form a Government. That means we know Labour’s plan is just the baseline! 

With just 10 weeks to go, we need your support to get the message in front of voters.

The spending ‘lolly scramble’ is coming.

National’s no-new-taxes commitment shows that taxpayer pressure works. Now we need to turn that pressure on Labour and demand answers about how it intends to fund billions more in Government spending. Will you back the campaign?

With just 10 weeks until election day, voters are making up their minds about the choice in front of them.

Thank you for standing with us,

Jordan Williams Executive Director New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union
