TheESP – Ep. #318 – Cruciatus Curse against Russia

Download

Don’t stare into the Sun!

Both of the Earth’s poles are going through extreme weather at the moment. Does that mean the end of the planet is already here? In TWISH we hear about Mussolini‘s rise to power and potential parallels to current world events. Pope Francis is said to take a stand against Russia, but we are not convinced. Then we have the news:

  • EUROPE / SPACE: Russian cosmonauts dressed in colours of Ukrainian flag?
  • European Mars mission on hold as a result of cutting ties with Roscosmos
  • OneWeb turns towards Space-X
  • RUSSIA: TikTok directs users to fake news about Ukraine war
  • RUSSIA: Putin’s war propaganda becomes ‘patriotic’ lessons in Russian schools
  • SCOTLAND: Late apology for witch-hunt cases
  • PORTUGAL: Voting is open for the Flying Unicorn Awards
  • INTERNATIONAL: BMJ paper assesses publication bias in homeopathy related articles

There are a lot of anti-abortion nuts in Poland ready to harass Ukrainian refugees and all of them share this week’s Really Wrong award.

Enjoy!
