Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro stood in Lancaster County on Tuesday and announced two “measles-associated deaths” — the first the commonwealth has reported in 35 years — calling them “preventable” and urging residents to get vaccinated.
Within a day, the county’s own coroner publicly disputed the state’s characterization.
On Tuesday, a Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) press release reported two measles-associated deaths in unvaccinated Lancaster County residents. The department initially withheld the individuals’ ages, medical circumstances and immediate causes of death, citing privacy concerns.
On Wednesday, Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons said on X that the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office had recorded zero deaths caused by measles — only one death of a person who tested positive for measles.
The coroner, Dr. Stephen Diamantoni, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that one of the deaths involved a newborn who died shortly after birth from a lacerated spleen. Measles antibodies were present in postmortem testing, but Diamantoni said the death was not caused by measles. … continue

Denmark will pay around $47,000 to each Greenlandic woman who can attest to having been implanted with a contraceptive device without consent while Copenhagen controlled the island’s healthcare system. Around 4,500 women may qualify under the scheme.
The Danish parliament approved the payout of 300,000 kroner by a large majority on Thursday, with the compensation to be made tax-free regardless of the contraceptive method used or the number of incidents.
To receive the money, the claimant should make a sworn statement and provide enough detail to make the incident plausible under the scheme. Providing medical records is not required because many of the alleged incidents occurred decades ago and the relevant documentation may no longer exist.
The payouts address the so-called “spiral scandal,” named after the Danish word for an IUD. An independent Danish-Greenlandic inquiry found that at least 4,070 women and girls – some only aged 12 – had been fitted with IUDs between 1966 and 1970, close to half of Greenland’s women of reproductive age. To some extent, the practice continued until the early 1990s when Greenland took over the health sector from Danish control.
The inquiry also collected testimony from 354 women describing 488 contraceptive incidents. Of 410 IUD incidents in those testimonies, 300 involved either no consent or no clear consent, 47 involved consent, and 63 contained insufficient information. The testimony also included 185 girls who had been under 18 at the time. … Full article

Legendary Journalist Seymour Hersh just published another major story on his Substack quoting sources who alleged the possibility that the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was an asset of the Israeli Mossad, as well as the U.S. F.B.I., potentially for blackmail operations.
According to Hersh, “I have been told that specific evidence about Epstein’s connections to foreign and domestic intelligence services, particularly Mossad and the FBI, though they do exist in government files, have yet to be the subject of materials made public by the Trump administration’s Justice Department and have not come under scrutiny by Congress and the media.”
One “well-informed international source I’ve known for a long time” told Hersh that “if all the details were to come out about Epstein and Israel it could cause problems for the past and present members of some in the Trump administration, as well as for senior officials in prior Democratic administrations”. … continue

The Israeli occupation continues to violate Palestinian rights in the West Bank as it pursues settlement expansion and carries out arrests and attacks against Palestinians.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the Israeli occupation authorities told the Supreme Court this week that the Israeli occupation forces remain opposed to allowing residents of the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps to return to their homes.
According to the newspaper, the Israeli occupation army is preparing to maintain operational control over the area for the long term, nearly a year and a half after launching its operations there.
Haaretz reported that tens of thousands of residents were forced to leave the camps suddenly, violently, and under humiliating circumstances, and are currently relying on limited assistance provided by humanitarian organizations. … Full article

Israeli occupation authorities have seized thousands of acres of Palestinian land in the central part of the occupied West Bank to build a so-called “security route” around an illegal settlement in clear defiance of international law and UN Security Council resolutions.
The anti-settlement Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported on Wednesday that Israeli officials have expropriated 15,342 dunams (3,791 acres) of land in the city of al-Bireh to construct a 3,835-meter-long road.
The route would surround the settlement of Psagot, located on Jabal al-Taweel land to the east of the city. This illegal road effectively forms a new buffer zone around the settlement, restricting Palestinian access to the lands situated between the settlement’s developed area and the roadway. … Full article

An Israeli court in the occupied city of Jerusalem acquitted on 26 August the settler who was seen several months ago assaulting a nun in a video that went viral on social media, according to Hebrew media.
Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) said the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court ruled that Yona Schreiber – who was caught on camera violently attacking the nun – “suffered a psychotic episode” and therefore was “not responsible” for his actions.
The attacker was briefly arrested and put on trial earlier this year.
According to KAN, the court accepted a psychiatrist’s assessment as justification for brutally attacking the nun. The report says he has been “acquitted” and that the court ordered he be hospitalized.
“Medical treatment will help him return to optimal functioning,” his lawyer was quoted as saying.
The lawyer’s office said they “understand” the “complainant’s distress and wish her well in overcoming the effects of the incident.”
The video went viral in April. It shows the settler running up to the nun, violently shoving her onto the ground, and then calmly walking away. … Full article

Israeli forces injured three Palestinians, including a 14-year-old girl, and abducted at least 12 others during widespread military incursions across the occupied West Bank on Thursday.
The operations included home invasions, field interrogations, property damage, and deployments in multiple communities across Hebron, Bethlehem, occupied Jerusalem, Tubas, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah. Israeli colonizers also raised flags and expanded an outpost in the Bethlehem area and released livestock near residents’ homes in the Ramallah area.
In Al-Karmil, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, two women and a 14-year-old girl were wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle carrying several women.
According to local sources, Israeli forces invaded the town, deployed along its streets, and broke into several homes, converting some into military positions before the shooting.
Al-Karmil Mayor Qassem Abu Arram, whose wife was among the wounded, said the women were returning from a wedding when soldiers opened heavy fire on their vehicle in the town center.
He added that there had been no warning, military roadblock, or visible indication that Israeli forces were operating in the area.
Abu Arram identified the seriously wounded as his wife, Sana’ Abu Arram, 58, and Lana Al-Haroush, 14, both of whom sustained facial injuries. Doaa’ Al-Haroush suffered shrapnel wounds to the face. … Full article

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – Two Palestinian young men were injured on Wednesday evening by Israeli army gunfire in the town of Beit Anan, northwest of Occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Jerusalem Governorate, Israeli army forces raided the towns of Beit Anan, Biddu, and al-Qubeiba in the northwest of Jerusalem, firing live ammunition and teargas canisters at local youths.
One of the young men was shot in the knee with live ammunition before being transferred to the hospital, where his condition was described as stable. The second one was injured by a rubber‑coated metal bullet.

Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of artillery and airstrikes across southern Lebanon, targeting several towns and their outskirts, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, as violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty continue relentlessly.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes targeting residential areas in Arabsalim, in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh district, before launching another strike on Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Arabsalim Mayor Ali Hassan said the Israeli strike targeted a residential home in the town, killing a newlywed bride and wounding several others. He added that the woman had been married just two days earlier.
The National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli artillery shelled al-Mansouri, while occupation forces also dropped explosive and incendiary materials on the outskirts of the town.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation artillery shelled the outskirts of Mays al-Jabal, coinciding with a sweeping operation using machine guns. The occupation’s artillery also targeted the outskirts of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah in the Nabatieh district. … continue

Things are becoming increasingly clear about the US green light for the Israeli enemy to press ahead with its attacks on southern Lebanon. According to US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa, Washington has not, so far, reached an agreement with Tel Aviv to halt its assaults.
Even more strikingly, asking ‘Israel’ to stop attacking southern Lebanon apparently amounts to asking it to “do everything,” according to Issa, himself of Lebanese origin, whose broken Arabic carries a distinctly Lebanese accent.
The remarks by Issa were made Wednesday, after a meeting with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdel Latif Derian.
“So far, we haven’t agreed with them (Israelis) to halt attacks (on southern Lebanon),” Issa told reporters. … continue
Saudi Arabia has reiterated that it will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the creation of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, amid reports that US President Donald Trump is seeking to link a civil nuclear agreement with Riyadh to Saudi normalisation with Israel.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump has referred the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement to Congress for review but has stipulated that it will not take effect unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords.
“The president’s position has not changed, and the agreement will not move forward unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords,” the newspaper quoted a US administration source as saying.
The reported condition follows the signing of the nuclear agreement last month by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
A Saudi source quoted by Israel’s Channel 12 rejected linking the nuclear agreement to normalisation, saying Riyadh’s position on relations with Israel remained unchanged.
“The Saudi position is clear, firm and unwavering,” the source said. “There will be no diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
The source maintained that Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program forms part of its broader strategic partnership with Washington and should not be conditional on establishing relations with Israel.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the UN nuclear watchdog cannot demand access to inspect nuclear facilities damaged in the US-Israeli military strikes unless a specific, approved protocol for inspecting sites under wartime conditions is established.
Speaking on Wednesday at an event unveiling new knowledge-based achievements of the AEOI, Mohammad Eslami said Iran’s interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are strictly governed by a recent law passed by the Iranian Parliament, which has already been communicated to the agency.
“The IAEA is well aware that under current conditions, until the regulations and inspection protocols for sites that have been subjected to military attacks are drafted, approved, and communicated, it cannot claim the right to inspect them.”
While routine safeguards inspections continue normally at facilities that were not targeted, the situation for attacked sites is fundamentally different, Eslami said.
“The country remains in a state of war, and it is not yet the case that the conflict has ended and security at these sites has been fully restored.”
Eslami censured the IAEA’s dealing with the recent hostilities, saying all the targeted facilities were previously registered with and regularly inspected by the UN nuclear agency.
The IAEA’s failure, he added, to protest or condemn the military strikes calls its independence and competence into question.
The current push by Washington and Tel Aviv for the IAEA to visit the damaged sites is not about nuclear safeguards, but rather a transparent attempt to conduct battle damage assessment, he said.
“The only reason for this pressure is that they want to see what happened to these sites as a result of the military operations they carried out.”
He also touched on recent threats by the US president to bomb specific Iranian locations, such as the Kuh-e-Kalang site. Such rhetoric, he said, serves as a “historical lesson that international organizations are being used as playthings by the United States and Israel.”
The Iranian official urged the IAEA to resist external pressure and threats and to operate strictly according to its own statutes. … Full article

“We will work together with like-minded countries to remove sanctions pressure from international relations,” she said.

Iran will respond swiftly and decisively to any US attempt to revive a mechanism known as “prize courts” to detain oil tankers and seize Iranian oil shipments, a senior Iranian security official stated on Thursday.
According to Nournews, the official said that if Washington uses the mechanism to detain Iranian oil tankers and confiscate their cargoes, the Islamic Republic of Iran would take “serious and swift measures” to impose reciprocal costs on US interests in the Gulf.
“If America is going to detain Iranian oil at sea and then confiscate it under the title of war prize, it must also be prepared to expose American interests to corresponding retaliatory measures,” the official warned.
The official said US interests in shipping, energy, insurance, finance, and Gulf-related infrastructure would not be insulated from the consequences of such action. … continue
The US Justice Department is preparing to revive long-dormant maritime “prize courts” to speed up the military capture of Iranian oil tankers and cargo as US property, Bloomberg reported.
The plan would allow the US to seize oil and other cargo from enemy or even neutral vessels, sell it, and transfer the proceeds to the US Treasury.
Aaron Reitz, a US attorney involved in the initiative, confirmed that the Justice Department is “now reviving” what he called an “ancient body of maritime law.”
The move is expected to face legal challenges, as prize courts have gone largely unused since the Spanish-American War of 1898 and have been dormant since World War II.
The plan comes as US forces have already illegally intercepted and seized multiple Iranian-owned or Iran-linked ships since imposing an unlawful blockade in April.
The US lectures the world about “freedom of navigation” — then digs up antique courts to “legalize” piracy against whoever it decides to bully next.

China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US once again smearing it under the pretext of cybersecurity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Thursday.
Lin made the remarks when asked about the US Department of Justice’s announcement on Wednesday that it had carried out court-authorized seizures of domains used by two hacking platforms which Washington claimed were operated and used by “China state-sponsored hackers to target US critical infrastructure and other sensitive networks.”
“We have noted relevant reports. China firmly opposes and combats hacking activities in accordance with the law. At the same time, China firmly opposes the dissemination of disinformation for political purposes,” Lin said. “The so-called US statement lacks factual evidence and turns facts on their head. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US once again smearing China under the pretext of cybersecurity.”
“The US is widely recognized as the world’s biggest hacking and surveillance empire, with an appalling record backed by irrefutable evidence,” Lin said, noting that China has serious concerns about US cyber activities. … continue

On August 8, as measles cases climbed across Pennsylvania and schools prepared to reopen, Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Department of Health published a sweeping rewrite of the state’s communicable-disease rules.
17 days later national headlines now report of two measles-associated deaths whose status is current unresolved with several clear anomalies that has the public, politicians and Kennedy himself asking serious questions about their validity.
Regulation 10-242, filed with the Independent Regulatory Review Commission as IRRC No. 3490, runs hundreds of pages and would remake 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27 — the same chapter that governed isolation, reporting, and outbreak control long before Covid. Public comment closes September 21. Shapiro’s gubernatorial election vote happens on November 3 the stakes are high.
The political context is harder to ignore.
The rule update would erode parent consent in a child’s health care, create a mandatory vaccine tracking database, and give the Department of Health access to children’s medical records without parental consent.
Specifically regarding measles, the newly proposed rule would create a category called § 27.160 isolation plus outbreak quarantine of “presumed susceptibles.”
The rule would pair isolation with outbreak quarantine of those presumed ‘susceptibles’ and keep them out of a setting until they prove they are not susceptible, take a measles vaccine, or no cases occur there for 21 days. … continue
How an unresolved medical announcement became an election-year weapon before the evidence was public
By Sayer Ji | August 26, 2026
In Lancaster, PA, an unresolved medical announcement entered a political machinery that had already tested the fear, selected the target, and prepared the response.
On August 25, Pennsylvania announced that two unvaccinated Lancaster County residents had suffered “measles-associated deaths”—the first such deaths reported by the Commonwealth in 35 years.
By the end of the day, the announcement was no longer merely a public-health report. It had become an indictment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump, and the Make America Healthy Again movement.
But the most revealing fact is not simply how quickly the deaths were politicized.
It is that the political message had already been built. … continue

There is a vast difference between believing in witches and embarking on a witch hunt. While belief in witches likely prevailed throughout most of human history, mass hysteria driving a hunt for them is rare. The case of wokeness points to a similar dynamic: since the 1960s, U.S. institutions have propagated a conspiratorial sociology and a Manichaean anthropology worldwide, positing that Christendom, across all eras, has been inherently hostile toward women, blacks and gays. Yet, it was only in the 2010s, spurred by social media, that a significant segment of society began looking for racists under the bed and denouncing them everywhere. The onset of this hysteria coincided with the Euromaidan protests (2014), and represented the U.S. as a beacon of freedom standing against oppression. Moscow, the traditional villain, ceased to be viewed as communist and came to be seen as homophobic. … continue

The US military has just announced that it has carried out two more murders on the high seas near South America. […]
There are some who refer to these killings as “war crimes.” But they are not war crimes because the US is not at war with any Latin American country. Moreover, the “war on drugs” is simply a figure of speech. Thus, there is no real “war” when it comes to the “war on drugs.” After all, what would they be waiting for—an unconditional surrender on the part of the drugs?
No, the killings are plain, old murders, committed under the rubric of waging the war on drugs. When the US military is enforcing the federal government’s drug laws, it is simply acting in a police capacity, no different from when the military in Third World countries operates as a national police force. … Full article

Ukrainian forces launched a major missile strike on Donetsk, the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), on Wednesday, damaging residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, regional head Denis Pushilin has said.
The strikes targeted several locations in the east of Donetsk, with most of the casualties reported near the Donetsk-City mall. The Western-supplied munitions used included the Anglo-French Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles, according to Pushilin.
At least eight civilians, including two minors, were injured in the strikes near the mall, while another man was wounded by the detonation of an unexploded ordnance piece at another location, Pushilin said.
Two other civilians were wounded in the Ukrainian attacks elsewhere in the DPR, the governor added. A total of eight residential buildings, 11 civilian infrastructure sites, and multiple cars were damaged in the attacks across the city and beyond, he said. … Full article
Kiev has intensified kamikaze drone strikes in recent weeks, repeatedly targeting passenger buses and other civilian vehicles
RT | August 26, 2026
At least nine people have been killed and six others wounded in a Ukrainian strike on a passenger bus in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), according to Governor Leonid Pasechnik.
The attack occurred in broad daylight on Wednesday, when an intercity bus traveling from Lisichansk to Stakhanov was targeted, the governor said. Eight passengers were killed on the spot, while another, a young woman, later died of her wounds in hospital.
“This is yet another act of terrorism by the bloodthirsty Kiev regime. Cynical, inhumane, and unjustifiable. It is a war crime for which those responsible will surely be punished,” Pasechnik wrote on Telegram.
While the governor did not explicitly say what exactly was used to strike the bus, the Russian Investigative Committee confirmed the vehicle was attacked with a kamikaze drone. A criminal probe into the incident has been launched, and investigators are now working to establish the exact type of the UAV involved in the deadly attack, the committee said.
Footage from the scene shared by LPR officials suggests that the UAV hit the bus in its roof hatch, pelting the passengers with shrapnel. … Full article
Once among Ukraine’s most coveted Western weapons, tanks like the German-made Leopards now mostly sit idle, The New York Times reported.
The $10 million vehicles are currently “hidden in forests and collecting cobwebs” as the Ukrainian military is “trying to imagine new ways to deploy them.”
Ukraine’s 33rd Brigade was created specifically to field and operate those Western tanks, but by the time they reached the battlefield in 2023, Russian drones “were already inflicting a deadly toll and were able to strike tanks at their most vulnerable points.”
A number of tanks have sustained damage during evacuation efforts while towing disabled vehicles—reducing the costly battle tanks to little more than overpriced recovery tractors. Ukrainian crews concede that they are able to operate only in poor weather, when wind, rain, and low visibility help obscure them from the ever-present drone threat.
Earlier, Western media reported that Leopard 2 tanks had failed to deliver the battlefield breakthrough Ukraine had hoped for, suffering losses to mines and proving vulnerable to drones. Up to 40 such tanks have reportedly already been lost.

The Israeli Ministry of War and Israeli weapons companies have directed millions of dollars in unreported funding to US university research programs for weapons development, either sponsoring research directly or serving as a pass-through entity for the funding, according to a Drop Site investigation.
A review of state and university audits, foreign-funding disclosures, and other institutional records identified millions of dollars in financial ties over the last two decades between the Israeli Ministry of War, Israeli weapons manufacturers, and US universities, much of which does not appear consistently in national databases intended to track foreign funding into US universities.

Israeli arms exports per capita in 2025 were roughly six times greater than the United States and 19 times greater than Russia, a new study has found, revealing the extraordinary scale of Israel’s weapons industry relative to its population.
The latest study by Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa found that Israel exported arms at a rate equivalent to roughly $263 per citizen in 2025, compared with $41 per person in the US and $14 in Russia. Calculated against Israel’s Jewish population alone, the figure rises to $340 per person, around eight times the US rate and 25 times Russia’s.
The findings are based primarily on figures from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), whose Arms Transfers Database tracks major conventional weapons. Although the US remains by far the largest weapons exporter in absolute terms, Abulhawa found that adjusting exports for population produces a dramatically different picture.
Israel ranked seventh in total arms exports between 2020 and 2025, behind the US, France, Russia, Germany, China and Italy. But once the same data is divided by population, Israel moves far ahead of every major weapons-exporting country. Its per-capita arms exports were roughly 2.5 times those of Norway, the nearest competitor, and more than six times those of the US. … continue

Israeli settlers assaulted a three-person AFP news team in the occupied West Bank village of Jannatah, near Beit Lahm, on Tuesday, injuring at least five people and wrecking vehicles belonging to journalists and Palestinian solidarity activists. […]
The settlers, many of them children, hurled stones at journalists and activists. One AFP journalist dodged a stone only to be struck in the chin with a stick by a child settler, drawing blood. When the crew returned to their vehicles, both had been vandalized, with rear windshields smashed and tires slashed. The activists’ cars sustained similar damage.

Warehouses belonging to the Palestinian Land of Man Association in Deir al-Balah were almost completely destroyed following an Israeli strike on an adjacent residential building, burying nutritional supplements intended for children and pregnant and breastfeeding women beneath the rubble, the organization said on Tuesday.
The warehouses, locally known as the Fayyad Barracks, are located on 17th Street in Deir al-Balah, near Rashid Street. According to the association, a residential building immediately southeast of the facility was struck on Monday night, with the blast and collapsing debris causing extensive damage to the warehouses.
The association said it was notified of the strike by the property owner late Monday but was unable to send personnel to the site immediately because of security conditions. A team reached the facility on Tuesday morning to assess and document the damage.
According to its preliminary inspection, sections of the warehouse walls and roof collapsed, while concrete debris buried much of the stock stored inside. … Full article

TEL AVIV – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that reaching a “good” agreement with Iran’s authorities is impossible.
A ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been agreed upon, including freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistani military sources and Iranian security sources previously told Sputnik. The parties are expected to officially announce the ceasefire in the coming days.
Speaking at an event on settling the West Bank, the Israeli prime minister said that he is determined to ensure no threats from Iran. Netanyahu said that he discussed this with US President Donald Trump a few weeks ago at the White House.
“We discussed three options. I told him about an old option – to reach a good agreement. We have no objections. But I doubt that with this group of people … an agreement can be reached. I told him [Trump] that an agreement is impossible,” Netanyahu said.
The prime minister said that the second option is a resumption of hostilities.
Trump announced the launch of an economic operation against Iran on August 20, calling it “isolation on an unprecedented scale.” He urged US allies to join Washington.
Tehran will use all its resources to combat Washington’s economic pressure, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Monday, adding that the only option for the US is respectful dialogue with the Iranian people.

A former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientist who played a crucial role in research rebutting any link between vaccines and autism is expected to plead guilty next week to wire fraud and money laundering.
Poul Thorsen, 65, is finalizing a plea deal with prosecutors relating to charges stemming from a 2011 federal indictment, Nathan Kitchens, assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, told The Defender.
Thorsen, who began working for the CDC in the late 1990s, faces two counts of wire fraud and nine counts of money laundering related to over $1 million in CDC grant money. The funds were earmarked for autism and public health research, but Thorsen allegedly used them to buy a home, two cars and a motorcycle. … continue

The Americans have their man for the Lockerbie bombing and are close now to a trial which in any democracy wouldn’t be allowed to happen due to the legal irregularities and malfeasance. But before we ask ourselves whether even the U.S. is a real democracy – or one that has all the auspices of one without the heart – we should never forget the farce of the original trial which found two Libyan spooks guilty of making and planting the bomb on Pan Am 103, with barely a grain of solid evidence to even link them to the crime. A travesty of justice on an epic scale was the theme established in the Netherlands at Camp Zeist, and we can hardly blame the Americans for continuing the theme with remarkable fortitude, impervious to any ignominy which exposes their first efforts as perfidious evidence-tampering and witness intimidation on a grand scale.
The madness continues at an even greater pace, though. … continue

Winston Churchill, for all his triumphs and successes, was probably the man most responsible for the early and rapid collapse of the British empire….What brought the British empire down as rapidly and terribly as it did was world War 2. In my opinion, WW2 was exactly what Churchill called it “The Unnecessary War”. And the fatal blunder was the decision in panic of the British government after Czechoslovakia fell apart in March, 1939, was to give an unsolicited war guarantee to a collection of Polish colonels who had a romantic view of their own warlike capacities , who participated in the breakup of Czechoslovakia, and Britain gave them this guarantee to back them in a cause –control of Danzig– where they thought the Germans were fundamentally right. And that war guarantee which stiffened the Polish spine, gave the Poles the backbone to stand up to Hitler who now had no way out but to take Danzig. Hitler attacked Poland, Britain declared war on Germany, and that six year war brought down the British empire. And the man who was driving hardest for war with Germany was Winston Churchill… continue

Forced mobilization in Ukraine affects only clergy members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), while representatives of other religious confessions are generally not targeted by military enlistment officers, said Mikhail Melekh, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special representative for international cooperation on freedom of religion.
“I have not encountered cases of representatives of other confessions being mobilized, and there is an explanation for this: they are exempt from mobilization under Ukrainian law. This does not apply to priests of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. They are simply grabbed on the streets, as has become common practice in Ukraine toward ordinary citizens,” Melekh said during a briefing.
In recent years, Kiev has launched a broad campaign against the UOC, the largest Orthodox religious community in Ukraine. The church’s activities have been restricted in several regions over alleged ties to Russia. Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has opened criminal cases against UOC priests and conducted searches seeking evidence of “anti-Ukrainian activities.” Many clergy members remain under arrest.
The Kiev authorities are also removing and reselling Orthodox relics and church items, effectively profiting from the sale of the country’s historical heritage, Melekh said. … Full article

Jordanian intelligence officers arrested Ali Younes, a Jordanian-American journalist and Drop Site News correspondent, for allegedly “undermining the national security” of the Hashemite kingdom by sharing an article on social media that called for cutting US assistance to Amman.
Younes, a former Al Jazeera journalist, was detained upon his arrival at Queen Alia International Airport on 17 August, where he was held for questioning prior to being released with orders to appear before prosecutors in Amman.
Security officials told Younes and his lawyer that the case rests on his sharing of an article published in July by the American Conservative, which called on Washington to halt the billions of dollars it sends to the kingdom.
Prosecutors have classed the post as undermining Jordan’s national security, an offense that could put him behind bars for a year. … continue

Israeli warplanes struck and destroyed a water desalination plant in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of northern Gaza City on Monday, injuring several civilians, according to Palestinian local sources.
The facility provided potable water to thousands of families and displaced Palestinians in Sheikh Radwan and surrounding areas. Local sources said its destruction would further exacerbate water shortages affecting residents of the Gaza Strip.
The strike comes despite a ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 10, 2025, amid continuing Israeli military operations in the territory. … continue

Eight Palestinians, including children, were killed in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip as Israeli attacks continued across the devastated coastal enclave despite a fragile “ceasefire” agreement.
The “ceasefire,” brokered by Arab and U.S. mediators and signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on October 10, 2025, has been repeatedly violated by Israeli military attacks.
In southern Gaza, medical sources said an Israeli drone strike west of Khan Younis killed one Palestinian and wounded several others.
A Palestinian was also injured after Israeli tank fire struck tents housing displaced families east of Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis.
A child, Amal Nish’at Abu Khater, was killed by Israeli gunfire in the al-Sater al-Gharbi area of Khan Younis. Another Palestinian was wounded by Israeli fire north of the city.
Hazem Abu Mousa
Hamada Ahmad Abu Daqqa later died from injuries suffered in an Israeli attack on the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis several days earlier. Hazem Abu Mousa also died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike west of Khan Younis on Sunday.
Moving to central Gaza, Israeli shelling in the Bureij refugee camp killed four-year-old Hassan al-Hafi and injured three others.
Two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded after an Israeli strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people near Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah early Monday morning.
Israeli aircraft also destroyed a house west of Deir al-Balah, while artillery shelling targeted areas north of the Bureij refugee camp. One of those killed in the Deir al-Balah tent strike was identified as Mohammad Nasser Abu Asad.
Farther north, an Israeli strike on a prayer hall and a nearby home in the Shati’ refugee camp, northwest of Gaza City, injured several Palestinians.
Two Palestinians were also wounded by Israeli fire in the Shuja’iyya and Zeitoun neighborhoods east of Gaza City. … Full article

The Israeli military has carried out a new raid in the countryside of Syria’s southern province of Dara’a, only two days after the top diplomat of Syria’s ruling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the director of the Israeli Mossad spy agency held a meeting to defuse tensions following an attack on an airport in northern Syria.
Israeli occupation forces advanced with five military vehicles into the Majham Room area in the Yarmouk Basin early on Tuesday. Israeli forces deployed around the Majham Room area and installed a checkpoint before withdrawing from the region.
No abductions were immediately reported, local media said. … Full article

Israel will not withdraw from Mount Hermon or a buffer zone inside Syrian territory as long as there are “threats” to Israel there, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday, Anadolu reports.
He made the remarks while visiting the buffer zone, according to a statement released by his office.
“We will not leave Mount Hermon or the security zone as long as there are jihadist threats to the State of Israel,” Katz said, according to the statement.
Addressing Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, he added: “The message to the president of Syria is clear — when you wake up in the morning in the palace in Damascus and look up at Mount Hermon and see the IDF (army), you know that we are here to defend our communities and our border.”
There was no immediate response by the Syrian authorities to Katz’s remarks. … Full article

Iran and Oman announced that they have discussed a phased framework aimed at restoring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, including a temporary joint maritime corridor.
The framework was discussed during a working visit to Tehran by Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, who held talks with his Iranian counterpart, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, according to a joint statement issued Tuesday.
The two sides said their consultations focused on resuming safe navigation through the Strait while preserving the sovereignty and sovereign rights of coastal states.
The proposed framework would initially establish a temporary joint maritime navigation corridor through the strait, alongside a joint mine-clearance project.
Technical negotiations will continue toward a permanent navigation corridor and an agreement on the future administration of the waterway, the statement said.
The talks will also address mechanisms for information exchange, traffic management and the provision of maritime and security services, the statement added.
Iran and Oman, both coastal states bordering the strategic waterway, have been engaged in intensive negotiations for nearly three months over arrangements for safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. … Full article

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said US sanctions on Iran are unilateral and Doha remains supportive of the mediation efforts to resolve the crisis.
Meanwhile, Pakistan reported “significant progress” following high-level talks in Tehran aimed at de-escalating the US-Iran war and restoring the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
Iran has conveyed its conditions regarding the memorandum and the Strait of Hormuz to the United States through Pakistan, Iranian media reported, citing an informed source.
“Contrary to reports by some media outlets that Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir carried a message containing US threats during his visit to Iran, the trip was aimed at creating space for negotiations and conveying Iran’s conditions and position to the American side,” the source told Tasnim.
According to the source, Tehran’s demands included the US returning to compliance with the memorandum on ending the conflict, signed in mid-June, as well as implementing provisions related to Iran’s rules for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
The US and Israel began strikes on targets in Iran on February 28, after which Tehran responded with its own attacks. In mid-June, Iran and the US signed a memorandum on ending hostilities, but later resumed strikes against each other. The conflict remains unresolved, although active fighting has stopped and Washington is relying on economic pressure.
Media previously reported, citing an unnamed senior source, that the US had offered to end the blockade of Iran and lift sanctions in exchange for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

For decades, the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz has been considered the ultimate doomsday scenario for global oil markets. So, when Iran effectively closed the Strait earlier this year in response to the joint U.S.-Israeli assault, many analysts warned that oil prices could skyrocket to record highs.
The logic was straightforward. Prior to the war, about 20% of the global oil supply transited the Strait. A loss of supply on this scale could easily have pushed oil prices to $150 or even $200 per barrel — but it didn’t. Instead, prices peaked around $120 per barrel in April and have largely stayed below $100 since June.
To understand the dynamics that have so far prevented an even higher price spike, and to get a sense of where oil supply and prices may be headed as the conflict drags on, I spoke with Rory Johnston, a leading oil markets analyst and the author of the Commodity Context blog. … continue
