… So much of AOC-led liberal politics is geared toward one’s efforts to proclaim one’s own moral superiority, and preserving one’s own self-righteous branding as uniquely virtuous, compassionate, and caring. Posturing as a vehement, morally outraged opponent of Israeli-led genocide and war with Iran is vital to sustaining that public image and self-perception.
But actually stopping said genocide and war is largely irrelevant to that image. That is why AOC and her followers devote themselves with such fervor to the performative and theatrical parts of their politics but will not deign to do the things necessary to actually achieve something.
Behold the noble principles that define AOC and her supporters: they would rather let Americans be forced to pay for Israel’s military and wars, and let Palestinians be bombed, and have Iran destroyed, if the alternative is to talk to or build majorities with gauche and morally inferior “bigots.” What matters — truly matters — is getting to prance around at events filled solely with like-minded, already converted people and be cheered for your elevated tastes and feel good about how untarnished you are, all while calling everyone a racist and a misogynist and a bigot and an anti-Semite so you signal to the world that you are not any of those things. That, for them, is the real goal of politics. … Read full article

The Department of Justice does not need to wait for Dr. David Morens to turn on his colleagues; the evidence to charge the next key advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci is already in the public record.
Greg Folkers was critical to the censorship operation at the heart of the Covid response. As Chief of Staff at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Folkers oversaw operations for the agency’s $6 billion budget and later sought to evade FOIA requests by conspiring with Dr. Morens and intentionally misspelling key phrases such as “g#in-of-function.”
In January 2020, he sent the first email to Anthony Fauci warning that the NIAID had funded gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through grants it made to EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak’s organization. That research, Folkers cautioned, could be the source of Covid-19.
But instead of warning the public of the “lab leak” as it would come to be known, Folkers, Fauci, and Morens initiated the coverup. … continue

A former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientist who played a key role in research that denied any link between vaccination and autism was extradited to the U.S. last week to face charges of wire fraud and money laundering stemming from a 2011 indictment.
Poul Thorsen, 65, a Danish native, began working for the CDC in the late 1990s. In 2011, a federal grand jury indicted him for the alleged misuse of over $1 million in CDC grant money that was earmarked for autism and public health research. Thorsen is accused of redirecting the funds for his personal use.
Despite the indictment — and the existence of an extradition treaty between the U.S. and Denmark — Thorsen continued to live and work in Denmark. … continue

Europol built and operated secret data analysis platforms stuffed with passport photos, phone records, financial transactions, and geolocation data belonging to people never suspected of any crime.
The systems ran for years without the security or data protection safeguards EU law requires, and the agency concealed parts of them from its own privacy regulator.
A joint investigation by CORRECTIV, Solomon, and Computer Weekly, based on leaked emails, internal documents, and whistleblower testimony, reveals that these parallel platforms became the backbone of Europol’s analytical work. “They protect the law while breaking it,” one former senior official said. … Full article

Public broadcasters in Spain, Ireland and Slovenia have said they would not air the 70th anniversary Eurovision Song Contest, which begins on Tuesday in Austria and will culminate in Saturday’s grand finale, citing opposition to Israel’s participation.
The three countries, along with the Netherlands and Iceland, withdrew on Monday from this year’s event in Vienna, leaving the contest facing the biggest boycott in its 70-year history.
Vienna police have said they expect disruptive protests and possible attempts to block the event, particularly on the last day. Authorities said a pro-Palestinian demonstration involving around 3,000 people has been registered for May 16.
Earlier this year, the broadcasters urged contest organizers at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to bar Israel over alleged vote-rigging and the war in Gaza. The EBU said Israel met the contest’s eligibility requirements and would remain in this year’s competition. … Full article

The family of Shireen Abu Akleh has said that no one has been brought to justice four years after the Palestinian-American journalist was shot dead by Israeli troops. They sharply criticized the United States for failing to pursue accountability for her murder.
In a statement on Monday, Abu Akleh’s family warned against the persistent culture of impunity in the Israeli military.
“The ongoing impunity sends a dangerous message that journalists can be targeted without consequence,” Abu Akleh’s niece, Lina Abu Akleh, told Arab News.
“We have seen that pattern repeated in Gaza and Lebanon for more than two years now. We are deeply disappointed by the lack of meaningful action by the US administration,” she added.
Noting that Abu Akleh was a US citizen, Lina emphasized that Washington has an obligation to pursue accountability with the same urgency it shows for any other American killed abroad.
“The lack of progress in the FBI investigation into Shireen’s killing further demonstrates the government’s failure to deliver justice,” she said. … Full article

GAZA – Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip killed two civilians and left several others wounded, while the bodies of two martyrs were recovered on Monday, marking yet another violation of the ceasefire now in its 214th consecutive day.
According to media sources, seven citizens, including a mother and her child, were wounded in Israeli artillery shelling on the Tel al‑Dhahab area of Beit Lahia town, northern Gaza.
Earlier, a child was wounded by Israeli gunfire in Beit Lahia.
In Gaza City, a young man was also injured by Israeli fire near the al‑Samer junction.
Meanwhile, emergency and rescue teams managed to recover the bodies of two martyrs who were killed last night near Gaza City’s ash-Shuhada junction.
The martyrs, Munir al‑Jatli (30) and Alaa Ayyad (31), were transferred in the morning to the Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al‑Balah after their bodies had remained lying on the ground for more than 12 hours.
Later, two people were shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza City’s az-Zeitoun neighborhood and near the Bani Suheila rotary in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.

The Israeli army ordered its troops to kill any males they encountered in Gaza, including the unarmed and the elderly, during the genocide of Palestinians that began in 2023, according to a 7 May investigative report aired on Israel’s Channel 13.
“A man, no matter what age, don’t play games with it; kill immediately,” one soldier said he was told by his commanders.
“They even told us that if it’s a woman or a child, use your judgment, because things happen,” he added, speaking anonymously.
His testimony was given to Iris Haim, the mother of an Israeli soldier taken captive by Hamas on 7 October 2023.
Yotam Haim was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza after approaching their positions during an attempt to escape alongside two other captives in December 2023.
The three Israeli captives were shirtless and waving white flags to indicate they were not a threat to the soldiers.
However, the soldiers opened fire and killed them anyway, apparently thinking they were Palestinian civilians.
The incident suggested that Israeli troops were implementing a “shoot to kill” policy against Palestinian males, including unarmed civilians.
The soldier speaking anonymously to Channel 13 revealed that he was one of the soldiers who shot and killed Yotam Haim and the other two Israeli captives during the incident.
“I fire 500 bullets a minute. I blow things up. I don’t care. I’m here to kill terrorists,” he stated, describing his state of mind during his tour in Gaza. … Full article

A right-wing Austrian politician has demanded that the country’s Finance Ministry explain how nearly $22 billion in cash and gold was shipped to Ukraine from Austria since 2022 without triggering concerns about money laundering or regulatory oversight.
In a statement published on Sunday, Austrian Freedom Party (FPO) Secretary General Christian Hafenecker called out what he described as Vienna’s “two-class justice system” for overlooking massive payments to Kiev, while keeping a tight hold on taxpayers’ purse strings.
“We’re not talking about play money here: 1,030 registered cash and gold shipments, around €12 billion ($14 billion) plus $7.75 billion, physically transported over 1,300 kilometers into the war zone,” Hafenecker said.
“And the responsible finance minister simply tells me… ‘We know nothing, we’re not investigating anything, we haven’t collected any information.’ That’s not an answer, that’s dereliction of duty,” he added. … continue

France did not really leave Mali. It changed tactics and found new hands to carry the gun. After being pushed out by a military government that turned toward Russia, China, and the wider Global South, Paris appears to have re-entered the war through Ukrainian military intelligence channels, long-standing Tuareg networks, and a battlefield configuration in which separatist rebels and Al-Qaedaʼs Sahel branch were hitting the same state enemy at the same time.
The late-April attacks in Mali said something larger about the Sahel. A former colonial power that had been shown the door was suddenly back in the frame, leaning on intermediaries and the momentum of jihadist advances to weaken a government that had chosen Russian support, Chinese weapons, and the language of anti-colonial independence over its old dependence on Paris. … continue

French presidential hopeful Florian Philippot has called for lifting sanctions against Russia and restoring Russian energy imports. In an interview with RT, the politician claimed that Brussels-driven EU policies run counter to France’s national interests.
A former vice president of the National Front (now National Rally) and ex-member of the European Parliament, Philippot announced on Saturday that he will run in the 2027 election. He leads the sovereigntist movement ‘Les Patriotes’ and is a longtime critic of the EU, the euro, and NATO. He advocates restoring French sovereignty, reducing dependence on supranational institutions, and ending French military and financial aid to Ukraine.
“I want, and it is in my program, for France to regain its independence by leaving all the supranational globalist structures: the EU, the euro, NATO,” Florian Philippot told RT France on Sunday. “And I want a policy of dialogue and friendship with Russia, and not, as today, one of mistrust, war, and insults. All of this is absurd for our national interests.”
The politician said Paris should “take back control” by withdrawing from free trade agreements such as Mercosur, which he said “condemn French farmers to death.” He added that sanctions on Russia imposed by Brussels should be ended in order to restore the flow of Russian gas and oil. … continue

In the wake of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and the subsequent maritime banditry and piracy, the Islamic Republic is reportedly moving to assert its long-dormant sovereign rights over the submarine internet cables that traverse the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
This strategic reorientation – as confirmed by some reports – promises to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue while fundamentally reshaping the legal and economic architecture of global data transmission.
The unprovoked military aggression against Iran, which halted with a ceasefire on April 8, 2026, has fundamentally altered the strategic calculus of the Persian Gulf.
During the 40 days of aggression against Iran, a previously overlooked dimension of the country’s sovereign territory emerged as a critical vulnerability for the global digital economy. … continue

In a theatrical move that fooled no one, US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s comprehensive plan to end the war he illegally imposed on the country 70 days ago.
The US president postured as a victor, dismissing Tehran’s proposal with the bluster of a leader who expects capitulation. But the reality on the ground tells a starkly different story.
By every measurable metric, America is the defeated party in the asymmetric war that was imposed on Iran amid the nuclear talks in Geneva on February 28. And his rejection of Iran’s terms in a social media post has not opened new options for Washington, but it has only trapped the US in a deadly three-way crossroads from which there is no easy escape.

The Iranian counter-proposal is publicly rejected by Trump, but if WSJ reporting is correct, Tehran is trying to move closer to US demands, but not fully.
The US demands that the entire Iranian stockpile be shipped out of the country. In the past, Tehran rejected shipping any of it out; it only agreed to downblending it. In its latest proposal, however, it offers to have some of it diluted and the rest shipped to a third country. The exact proportions are unclear.
As I understand it, though thi sis not reported by the WSJ, Iran is also offering to accept an arrangement in which it will not need to enrich uranium at all for 12 years. This is not the 15-20 years Trump originally wanted, but longer than the 3-5 years Terhan originally offered.
That Iran is willing to pause enrichment at all is a significant concession that I am not sure is fully appreciated by the American side. Last time Iran did this, it backfired significantly. … continue

Activist climate scientists, journalists and Net Zero-obsessed politicians are in shock following an official admission from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a set of key assumptions promoting a climate ‘crisis’ since 2011 are “implausible”. The notorious set of always-improbable RCP8.5 ‘pathway’ assumptions which fed into computer models trying to measure an unmeasurable climate are no more. Since around 2011, these ‘business as usual’ assumptions have produced outlandish claims of future climate catastrophe which have been lapped up by lap dog journalists and politicians. The influential writer Roger Pielke Jr. called RCP8.5’s demise, “the most significant development in climate research in decades”.
Others might observe that we have not heard the last of RCP8.5. Its gross misuse is likely to be given a starring, central role when the history of the Great Climate and Net Zero Scam comes to be written.
Pielke lays it out clearly what has happened:
What matters today is that the group with official responsibility for developing climate scenarios for the IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures.
He goes on to note that tens of thousands of research papers have been and continue to be published using these scenarios. In addition, a similar number of media headlines have “amplified their findings”, while governments and international organisations have built these implausible scenarios into policy and regulation. […]
RCP8.5 assumed high emissions of carbon dioxide leading to a radiative forcing (extra energy trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere) of 8.5 watts per square metre. The new pathways act as agreed guidelines for computer models that will then provide information for the IPCC’s forthcoming seventh assessment reports. Pielke has run the figures and estimates that the new high scenario will produce 3°C of warming by 2100, a reduction from 3.9°C but still an improbable 1.8°C rise in less than 80 years. Of course these new scenarios are just assumptions anyway, and on past observational evidence of atmospheric gas ‘saturation’ stretching back 600 million years they still grossly overestimate the warming effect of a few trace gases. Much higher levels of CO2 were the norm in the past in a complex, chaotic, non-linear and ultimately unmeasurable atmosphere. Climate scare bingo based on sightings in mainstream media of ‘scientists say’ will likely continue as long as an audience, albeit a diminishing one, still believes in the politicised agitprop of a ‘climate emergency’. … Full article

The Associated Press (AP) claims in “Wildfires Used To ‘Go To Sleep’ At Night. Climate Change Has Them Burning Overtime” that human-caused climate change is causing fires to burn later into the night and earlier in the morning. Dozens of media outlets picked up the story. This is false. Wind-driven wildfires have burned intensely at night throughout recorded history, and the article relies on selective data, model correlation, and climate framing rather than historical context and fire science.
The AP asserts that “burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime” and that the number of hours favorable for wildfire is 36 percent higher than 50 years ago. It ties this to warmer nighttime temperatures and implies that fires “used to die down or even die out at night” but now persist because of climate change.
That framing is historically inaccurate.
Wildfires do not “go to sleep” because the clock strikes sunset. They slow when humidity rises, temperatures fall, and winds calm. When those meteorological conditions do not improve at night, fires continue to burn. That has always been true.
Both of the major fires cited by the AP were driven by extreme wind events, not by some novel nighttime warming effect.
The 2025 Eaton Fire in California was sparked by electrical power system failures during a severe windstorm event. The Palisades Fire was determined to be intentionally set by an arsonist. Ignition sources matter. Neither fire began because of climate change. Both were driven by powerful, sustained winds common to the areas during that time of year, which remained intense overnight.
When winds remain strong, fires burn. When humidity remains low, fires burn. When fuels are dry and abundant, fires burn. Day or night.
The AP acknowledges that its analysis “looked at times when conditions were ripe for fire, but that didn’t mean fires occurred during all that time.” In other words, the study measured modeled fire-weather conditions, not actual fire behavior. It created a computer model correlating atmospheric variables and fire status. That is not the same as demonstrating a causal trend in wildfire intensity. […]
The AP’s story does not represent accurate reporting. It is climate narrative reinforcement layered on top of selective data and incomplete history. The Associated Press should be ashamed to foist this sort of “junk journalism” on readers. – Full article

The Energiewende (transition to green energy) is often hailed as the future of urban logistics, but a recent development in Bielefeld, Germany, serves as a sobering cautionary tale. The city has been forced to mothball its entire fleet of seven hydrogen-powered garbage trucks.
Poor logistics
Blackout News reports that for years, Bielefeld’s hydrogen trucks relied on a refueling station in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. Even then, the logistics were strained; drivers had to make an 80-kilometer round trip just to fuel up. Given that these trucks have a daily range of about 300 kilometers, nearly a third of their energy was being spent just getting to the pump.
When the station in Rheda-Wiedenbrück closed, the situation turned from difficult to impossible. The next available station was in Münster—roughly 180 kilometers away for a round trip. At that distance, the trucks would consume most of their fuel just traveling to and from the station, leaving virtually no range left to actually collect trash.
Massive financial investment
The scale of idling the buses is significant. Each of the hydrogen-powered trucks cost approximately €1 million—four times the price of a conventional diesel garbage truck (roughly €250,000).
To bridge the cost gap, the German federal government provided massive subsidies, covering 90% of the additional costs. In total, nearly €5 million in taxpayer money was pumped into this fleet. Today, those high-tech vehicles are now idle, doing nothing, representing a massive waste of subsidized resources.
Bureaucratic absurdity
The most frustrating part of the story is that Bielefeld actually has a hydrogen refueling station within the city. One might think the solution is simple: just refuel the trucks at the local station! However, due to the strict terms of the government subsidies used to build that station, its use is contractually restricted to hydrogen buses only. Despite both the buses and the garbage trucks belonging to the municipal fleet, formal funding rules prevent the trucks from using the local pump. … Full article

Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, injuring two Palestinian women and expanding their presence on privately owned Palestinian and religious endowment lands, while Israeli forces invaded several communities to provide protection for the attackers.
In the northern West Bank, two Palestinian women were injured when colonizers attacked homes in the village of Jurish and the nearby town of Aqraba, south of Nablus.
Local sources said groups of colonizers hurled stones at Palestinian homes in the Wadi al‑Hajj Issa area between the two communities.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its medics treated a 35‑year‑old pregnant woman and a 65‑year‑old woman who were injured during the attack on Jurish.
In the central West Bank, colonizers attacked the village of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, prompting confrontations with residents.
Media sources said Israeli forces then invaded the village to secure the colonizers’ presence and abducted two Palestinians, identified as Saadallah Nawwaf al‑Zidani and Mohammad Ahmad Muqbil.
Also, Israeli colonizers established a new illegal colonialist outpost on lands belonging to the Islamic Waqf west of the town of Deir Istiya in the Salfit district, in central West Bank.
The colonizers installed two mobile homes in the al‑Maghsala area and simultaneously bulldozed nearby land. … Full article

Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks across the Gaza Strip on Sunday killed three Palestinians, including the director of police investigations in Khan Younis, and injured several others in separate incidents targeting vehicles, security points, and fishermen off the coast.
Israeli aircraft assassinated Lt. Col. Wisam Fayez Abdul‑Hadi, director of the Khan Younis Police Investigations Department, and Sgt. Fadi Abdul‑Mu‘ti Haikal when their jeep was struck by an Israeli drone missile in the Al‑Amal neighborhood west of Khan Younis.
Medical teams at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, confirmed that both men were killed instantly and that eight additional Palestinians were wounded in the same attack. The vehicle was completely destroyed.
Earlier at dawn, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a gathering of Palestinians in Al‑Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing one Palestinian and injuring several others.
In a separate incident off the coast of Gaza City, Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen operating within the restricted fishing zone.
Fisherman Salman Hammad Abu ‘Amra was shot in the waist and sustained shrapnel injuries to the face. He was transferred to hospital for treatment, where his condition was described as moderate.
Throughout the morning, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of Khan Younis and Deir al‑Balah, in central Gaza, while drones and warplanes continued to hover over multiple districts.
Local reporters documented damage to agricultural lands, civilian homes, and previously evacuated areas. Civil defense teams reported difficulty reaching some sites due to ongoing drone fire and the destruction of access roads.
Local media noted that Israeli forces have increasingly targeted police officers, civil defense crews, and municipal workers, both at their posts and while traveling in civilian vehicles. Sunday’s assassination in Khan Younis follows a series of similar strikes in recent weeks. … Full article

Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently came out against the idea of a non-partisan Anti-War and Anti-Zionist coalition between the populist left and right, through an attack on the former Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“I personally do not trust someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, a proven bigot and antisemite, on the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis,” AOC said, adding, “I don’t think that it benefits our movement, in that instance, to align the left with white nationalists, I don’t think it serves us”.
AOC faced major backlash for these comments, including from her own base of support, such as political commentator Cenk Uygur, who previously launched the Justice Democrats organization that helped AOC get elected, who said, “This is just terrible.

Through an ICAN FOIA request, my firm recently acquired a 2019 presentation given to HHS’s National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) from an NYU “bioethicist” named Dr. Arthur Caplan.
Caplan indicates that parents who decline vaccines for their kids have “bogus values” and suggests methods such as guilting “hesitators and resistors” and calling them “selfish, bad neighbors, indifferent to the vulnerable.” He also recommends that all states follow the sterling example of California and remove all non-medical vaccine exemptions.
His presentation is an excellent example of how vaccine zealotry has infiltrated every level of academia. You can feel the outrage in his presentation as you read it. Caplan seemingly can’t imagine why any reasonable person would decline this manna from pharmaceutical heaven—so much so that he feels it is ethical to enforce vaccine mandates and shame people into taking a medical product they don’t want! All in the name of “bioethics.” … continue

As federal health agencies revisit childhood vaccine schedules and emphasize shared clinical decision-making, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is encouraging hospitals to use pediatric admissions as a “unique opportunity” to vaccinate more children.
A series of AAP publications released in March and April promotes offering routine, catch-up and seasonal vaccines during children’s hospital stays and around surgeries and medical procedures.
But some physicians and vaccine safety advocates say the approach raises medical and ethical concerns, particularly for children already sick enough to require hospitalization.
A March 9 article in AAP News described “perioperative or periprocedural vaccination” as “a novel way to vaccinate children who are in a hospital environment for other reasons.”
Another March report in Hospital Pediatrics stated that “pediatric inpatient hospital admissions are opportunities for catch-up vaccination.” … Full article

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s former personal security chief and Washington police lieutenant Matthew Mahl has been detained during an undercover child solicitation operation in Maryland.
Mahl faced arrest in mid-April after investigators caught him soliciting a minor and attempting to obtain child sexual abuse material.
Authorities said Mahl, 47, used Reddit to communicate for nearly a month with an undercover detective from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office who posed online as a 15-year-old boy named “Nate.”
The undercover officer repeatedly mentioned the supposed teenager’s age and inexperience during the conversations, according to charging documents.
Mahl acknowledged several times that the person was underage but continued sending sexually explicit messages and photographs anyway, prosecutors said.
He eventually arranged to travel to Harford County to meet the person he believed was a teenage boy for sexual activity, where deputies arrested him after he arrived at the agreed meeting location, court records stated. … Full article

Ukrainian enlistment officers have reportedly opened fire at members of the Roma community who were attempting to storm a recruitment center in Transcarpathia, western Ukraine.
The incident occurred in the village of Mezhgorye on Saturday after a press gang seized a local man, according to Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Glagola. Around 30 people reportedly gathered outside the enlistment office and tried to force their way inside by hurling objects and breaking down doors.
The journalist claimed that several shots were fired using a pistol and a Kalashnikov rifle. He added that officials initially denied the shooting, saying that only two blank rounds had been fired, which contradicted footage in which “at least four shots” could be heard. … Full article

The leader of the France Unbowed movement (La France Insoumise) has declared his intention to withdraw France from NATO if he is elected president.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon made the announcement during an interview with LCI news channel on Friday, stressing that the alliance primarily serves to position Europe under the influence of the United States.
“If I am president, France will leave NATO,” he said, noting that the military alliance’s primary function is “placing us under the supervision of the United States.”
Mélenchon, a long-time critic of NATO, further stated that distancing France from the alliance aligns with the nation’s “historic line.”
He referenced former President Charles de Gaulle’s decision in the late 1960s to withdraw France from NATO’s integrated military command. … Full article

The US military said on Saturday that it had carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 2 individuals, in an operation it claimed targeted “narco-terrorists”. The incident marks the latest in a series of such actions that human rights groups have criticized as “extrajudicial killings”.
In a statement posted on social media, the US Southern Command said that the operation was carried out on May 8 under the direction of its commander, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, as part of an initiative referred to as “Operation Southern Spear.”
The strike was conducted by the Joint Task Force Southern Spear, which claimed intelligence had identified the targeted vessel as travelling along established “narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and engaging in drug trafficking activities.” … Full article

General Motors has agreed to pay $12.75 million to settle allegations that it illegally collected and sold sensitive driver data from hundreds of thousands of Californians without their knowledge or consent.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the settlement on Friday, accusing the US automaker of betraying public trust while publicly claiming it would protect user privacy.
“General Motors sold the data of California drivers without their knowledge or consent,” Bonta said.
“This trove of information included precise and personal location data that could identify the everyday habits and movements of Californians.” … Full article

This rebellion is led by 46 scientists, many of whom have direct experience working with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who are now publicly challenging the foundational claims that have dictated global policy for decades. … continue
An Essay on the Practitioner Vacuum That Waits for Everyone Who Tries to Leave Psychiatry
Lies are Unbekoming | April 19, 2026
A reader wrote to me this week. Her question, in essence:
She knows someone trying to come off Seroquel safely. Does anyone know the deficiencies it might have caused? Are there books or functional doctors who work on that?
She is looking for a functional doctor. Someone to walk her person through the Seroquel taper the way a functional cardiologist walks a patient off statins, or a functional endocrinologist walks a patient off long-term steroids. She wants someone who understands what the drug has done to the body, can identify the depletions, can order the right tests, and can hold the patient’s hand through the worst of it.
That person does not exist. Not as a profession. Not as a network. Not in any country I have looked at. … continue
Even pediatricians need to be bribed to inject these products
By Aaron Siri | Injecting Freedom | May 8, 2026
Health insurers and organizations literally bribe pediatricians to give your baby 25 vaccine doses before 3 years of age.
For example, pediatricians in the 3-million-person Health Net network receive a $2,500 bonus for each baby receiving 25 vaccine doses by 2.5 years of age.
A paralegal at my firm quickly found 27 additional examples of insurers and providers from across the country offering such bribes. See list below.
It is amazing that even pediatricians need to be bribed to inject these products.
How do you think this affects how pediatricians treat parents during “well-check” visits? … Full article

More than a dozen Jews, including one believed to have fled to Israel, are among 30 people charged in an alleged decade-long insider trading scheme run out of major law firms, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday.
Two unsealed complaints accuse the group of reaping tens of millions of dollars by using confidential information on mergers and acquisition deals obtained through law firms, where scheme leaders were employed. Conspirators allegedly passed information on to business associates, friends, and relatives for trading purposes.
The network used burner phones, coded language, and falsified research documents, prosecutors allege. The group also allegedly used “going to Israel tomorrow” and phrases about flight departures as code to share timelines related to illegal activities. … Full article

WEST BANK – A Palestinian citizen was seriously injured on Saturday following a Jewish settler attack near the town of al-Auja, north of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.
A local source reported that a horde of settlers raided al-Balqa Bedouin community homes and attacked residents, gravely wounding Mohamed Ghawanmeh in the head.
Settlers also intensified their aggression against residents of the Abu Fazaa community in the town of al-Taybeh, east of Ramallah, according to al-Baidar Human Rights Organization.
The rights group said that settlers attacked the community in the morning, besieging its people, cutting off its water supply, and damaging property and crops.
Other settler crimes and attacks were also reported last night and this morning in different areas of the West Bank.
A group of settlers set fire to a vehicle at the Karamilo rotary close to the village of al-Taybeh, east of Ramallah, last night.
Settler groups also attacked Bedouin communities in the al-Awsaj area north of Jericho.
In al-Khalil, settlers assaulted farmer Mohamed al-Hamamda while he was working his land in the Tel Ma’in area of Masafer Yatta. … Full article

An unarmed Palestinian man from Rahat, in the Negev, was shot and killed by Israeli Border Police officers before dawn Saturday during what authorities described as a pursuit through one of the city’s neighborhoods.
The victim was identified as Ahmad Said an-Na’ami, 50, a resident of Neighborhood 2 in Rahat, the largest Bedouin city in the Negev
Israeli media outlets, including Ynet, reported that medics from Magen David Adom pronounced him dead at the scene.
According to the police account, Border Police reserve units were operating in Rahat when they allegedly spotted a “suspicious vehicle and signaled the driver to stop.”
The officers claim the man fled in his car and later continued on foot, prompting two officers to pursue him. … Full article

GAZA – The Israeli occupation army continued on Saturday to commit ceasefire violations in the Gaza Strip for the 212th consecutive day, killing one civilian and carrying out attacks in different areas.
According to media sources, a civilian was martyred and another one was injured after an Israeli strike targeted a motorcycle in the al-Faluja area west of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
The strike took place as various parts of the Strip witnessed intensive gunfire and artillery shelling.
Local sources reported that Israeli tanks opened intense fire east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, amid artillery bombardment targeting other areas of the city, while Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire towards the western coast of the city.
In the early hours of Saturday, the eastern areas of al-Bureij refugee camp and Gaza City also came under Israeli artillery shelling.

Three people were martyred in an Israeli attack on the southern Lebanese town of Burj Rahhal in the Tyre District on Saturday, as the occupation pressed ahead with its violations of the ceasefire that came into effect on April 17. The occupation later struck Burj Rahhal a second time in the same day.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in southern Lebanon also reported that a civilian and his daughter were martyred in a separate Israeli attack on Nabatieh, bringing the day’s death toll in the south to at least five.
Saturday’s aggression extended across a wide stretch of southern towns, with strikes recorded in Zrariyeh, Tayr Debba, Barish, Maaroub, Kfar Rumman, Mayfadoun, Arnoun, Shehabiyeh, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Kafra, Haris, Hadatha, Majdal Selm, and Mansouri.
Overnight massacres leave ten martyred
The day’s aggression came on the heels of a deadly overnight escalation, in which 10 people were martyred across southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
In Zrariyeh, three people were martyred, including two children. Two others were martyred in Anqoun in the Saida district, while in Mayfadoun, one person was martyred and four others, including a woman, were injured.
Israeli warplanes repeatedly bombarded the town of Mayfadoun alongside sustained artillery shelling targeting the town of Jebchit and the surrounding areas of Nabatieh city.
Israeli attacks were also reported in Deir al-Zahrani, Arab al-Jal, Kfar Tebnit, Haboush, Deir Antar, Sultaniyeh, and the outskirts of Bint Jbeil. Demolition and detonation operations continued in the border towns of Khiam and Bint Jbeil, deepening the destruction already inflicted on civilian areas along the frontier. … Full article

Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref says the United States and the Israeli regime failed in their strategy to weaken Iran’s core industries through bombing key petrochemical and steel plants during a 39-day military aggression against the country that began in late February.
Speaking to senior executives of Iranian heavy industries on Saturday, Aref said that US-Israeli attacks on steel and petrochemical plants in the final days of the aggression were clearly meant to create unemployment in Iran and sow discord in the country.
He said, however, that Iran is racing against time to rebuild the manufacturing infrastructure damaged during the aggression.
“The process of reconstruction and modernization is proceeding at a pace faster than anticipated, and the government will also use all its capabilities to support this process,” said the vice president.
Steel and petrochemical manufacturing account for a major part of Iran’s non-oil economic activity. The country also relies on these sectors for considerable employment among its youth.
The US and Israel carried out attacks on Mobarakeh Steel, the largest steel mill in Iran and West Asia, and Khuzestan Steel, damaging manufacturing and utility components of the plants.
Attacks were also carried out on utility units of Iranian petrochemical plants in Assaluyeh, on the Persian Gulf coast, with a clear aim to disrupt Iran’s exports and hard currency revenue flow.
During his Saturday meeting with steel and petrochemical CEOs, Aref said the US-Israeli strike on Mobarakeh Steel was a pointed and targeted attack that sought to undermine an industrial unit that plays a huge role in the country’s economy.
The second-in-command in the Iranian administration also ordered quick planning and execution of projects to rebuild the units of the steel company damaged in the US-Israeli aggression.

US Secretary of State Rubio on Wednesday declared “Operation Epic Fury” concluded, the clearest indication so far that the US is writhing in the economic trap it sprung on itself. Being in a state of institutional paralysis, unable to accept the costs of ending the war while unable to tolerate its continuation, the Trump administration is attempting to find an equilibrium that allows hostilities to cease, while keeping as much as possible of its “maximum pressure” on Iran’s economy.
In precisely this vein, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in recent days has been unable to conceal his glee at the economic privation imposed on the Iranian people by his policies, attributing both the Riyal’s late 2025 collapse and the impending effects of the naval blockade on its oil production to “[Operation] Economic Fury.”
Since the inception of the Islamic Republic 47 years ago, the United States has weaponized its dominance in the global economy to impose one of the most comprehensive sanctions regimes ever implemented.
With each successive layer of economic siege deployed against the Iranians, US administrations and their surrogate regimes across the collective west, along with their propagandists in the media, painted this undeclared war as solely targeting “the regime.” The Iranian people themselves, they would have us believe, were never the intended targets. … continue

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been accused of launching direct strikes targeting Iranian civilian infrastructure, while escalating its anti-Tehran rhetoric and having lobbied the US to return to all-out regional war. Although on the surface of things, it would appear nonsensical for such a small and fragile country to commit itself to reckless actions of these kinds, the UAE is no ordinary Gulf State.
While presenting itself as an innovative nation, one that is dissimilar to its neighbors in that its focus is the creation of wealth, “unity” and “peace”, the UAE fosters an image of a wise and inviting leadership that caters to outsiders. Utilizing their immense oil wealth, Abu Dhabi’s rulers have managed to construct an image of themselves that is almost as artificial as Dubai’s Skyline. … continue

Bahrain authorities have launched a sweeping campaign of raids and arrests targeting a large number of religious scholars, marking another violent escalation in the kingdom’s long-running repression of dissent and religious figures.
Bahrain is witnessing a broad security crackdown, with authorities carrying out intensive raids and arrests against numerous Shiite clerics across the country. […]
The latest crackdown comes within a broader context of systematic repression that has marked Bahrain’s political landscape since the 2011 uprising, when mass protests demanded political reform, democratic representation, and an end to discrimination by the ruling monarchy. Authorities responded with force, mass arrests, and the suppression of opposition movements, while Saudi forces entered the country to help crush the protests.
Since then, Bahraini authorities have repeatedly targeted clerics, activists, journalists, and opposition figures through arrests, citizenship revocations, prison sentences, and restrictions on religious and political activity. Human rights groups have accused Manama of employing authoritarian measures to silence dissent and criminalize opposition under the guise of national security. … Full article

Israel has told the US that any return to fighting with Iran must include the destruction of the Islamic Republic’s energy infrastructure, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on 9 May.
Israeli leaders are reportedly trying to convince their counterparts in Washington that this is “the only practical way” to make progress in confronting Tehran and that this would force the country to enter negotiations from “a submissive position.”
The channel quoted Israeli estimates that destroying Iran’s energy infrastructure could be accomplished in just “24 hours of strategic bombing.”
“If you are not going to topple the regime, at least leave it paralyzed,” one Israeli official was quoted as saying. … Full article
Iran dismissed on Saturday allegations it deliberately discharged crude into the Gulf and instead blamed a foreign tanker for the pollution near the Kharg Island.
Jafar Pourkabgani, a member of Iran’s parliament representing Bushehr, said claims that Iran dumped excess oil due to full storage tanks are “completely unfounded” and part of “psychological warfare.”
In a post on X, he attributed the slicks detected by satellite imagery to oil and ballast water released by a European tanker, describing the incident as a source of significant environmental damage.
Satellite analysis cited by The New York Times indicates the spill has spread over more than 20 square miles (52 square kilometers), making it one of the largest observed in the Gulf in recent months. UK-based monitoring firm Orbital EOS said the scale of the slick is notable amid heightened regional tensions following the Israeli-American aggression on Iran on February 28.
For its part, the Conflict and Environment Observatory noted that the origin of the spill is still unclear, warning that it is drifting southward and may not be effectively contained.
The incident has drawn attention due to its proximity to Kharg Island, the backbone of Iran’s oil industry, through which roughly 90 percent of the country’s crude exports pass. Located north of the Strait of Hormuz, the island is a critical artery for global energy supplies, amplifying concerns over both environmental risks and potential disruptions to oil markets.

… Labour’s defeat in Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, became one of the clearest symbols of the party’s declining authority.
After 14 years of Labour control, the city council fractured as Reform UK, the Greens, and pro-Gaza independents all made major advances.
The collapse follows years of austerity measures, service cuts, municipal bankruptcy, and deteriorating living conditions across the city.
Independent councillor Nosheen Khalid said voters had “had enough” of Labour.
“The Labour party has caused a lot of damage in Birmingham,” she said, citing bankruptcy measures and cuts to youth services.
Khalid, who campaigned on pro-Gaza positions and received backing from Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party movement, rejected cooperation with Reform UK, describing Farage’s party as “divisive.”
She argued that ordinary residents had lost faith in establishment politicians entirely.
“Birmingham has not been effectively governed for a very long time,” Khalid stated. “It can only get better when you have representatives who are grassroots.”
The rise of pro-Gaza independents in several councils reflected continuing anger among Muslim and left-wing voters over Labour’s stance toward the Israeli war on Gaza. … Full article
