Now, ‘…Nature, one of the most widely read scientific journals, published a report titled “How climate change could drive an increase in gender-based violence.” It summarizes a recent review paper in Lancet Planetary Health that found extreme weather events, including storms, floods, and heat waves, were associated with an increase in violence against women and “sexual and gender minorities.”
What do “sexual and gender minorities,” such as transgender, so-called “queer,” and asexual people, have to do with violence and abuse experienced by women and girls?
Absolutely nothing. The paper, however, offers the following rationale — “due to … binary sex and gender systems and hetero-cis-normative societies, these groups tend to be at high risk of [gender-based violence].” Anyone operating in the real world knows that women and girls experience a unique set of vulnerabilities in the aftermath of a natural disaster. In many cases, policies rectifying gender-based violenceare diametrically opposed to those rectifying sex-based violence. “Sex” refers to anyone born female. “Gender,” in this context, refers to anyone who identifies as a woman.’https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/a-new-climate-study-embraces-gender-unrealities
‘A video emerged this week from the Dutch city of Almelo, where a supermarket named Picnic where a fire scorched through the store and it was laid to ruins.
Rebel News arrived at the scene of the fire the following day to check it out.
It just so happens that Picnic is, in fact, a supermarket brand funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and uses electric vehicles to drop off groceries to customers.
Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink, the Dutch minister for nature and nitrogen, is married to Piet van der Wal, an heir to the fortune of another supermarket chain, Boni. Boni is one of a group of four big investors in the Picnic franchise.
The van der Wal family was part of a group of investors who in 2015 and 2019 generated €450 million for the Picnic operation, along with funding from Gates. In the end, buying from Boni or ordering online from Picnic is effectively the same thing.
Sales from Picnic or Boni could, in theory, directly be increasing the wealth of van der Wal-Zeggelink. Gates also profits off Picnic, given the store also sells the food gates promotes.
