The old world is dying once again, but the US-Israel axis is wrong to suggest it is slaying monsters. It is the monster

Tehran reverses course on Amir-Abdollahian‘s statements, confirms Shafaq News reports
Committee rapporteur Ali Nehmeh clarified to Shafaq News that „Iraq was taken by surprise by the timing of Iran‘s response and had no agreement with Tehran to allow Iranian drones or missiles through its airspace. The decision to halt air traffic came as a precautionary measure after the attack, with Iraq playing no role in Iran‘s actions.“
A government source familiar with the situation suggested that Tehran may have refrained from informing Baghdad of the attack‘s timing to prevent leaks, noting that Iran had notified several regional countries three days prior, as Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated.
Philosophy for Palestine
(November 1, 2023)
To focus, as we do here, on the actions of the Israeli state and the unflagging support it receives from the US and its allies, is neither to celebrate violence, nor to equivocate on the value of innocent lives. Civilian deaths, regardless of nationality, are tragic and unacceptable. Yet to act as though the history of violence began with Hamas’s attacks on October 7, 2023 is to display a reckless indifference to history as well as to both Palestinian and Israeli lives. In order for violence to stop, the conditions that produce violence must stop.
The blockade of Gaza has lasted 16 years; the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has lasted 56 years; the dispossession of Palestinians of their lands and homes across historic Palestine has lasted three-quarters of a century, since the 1948 establishment of Israel as an ethno-supremacist state. It is not without reason that observers—including both international and Israeli human rights groups—now characterize Israel’s control over the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea as a system of apartheid.
A Palestinian Exile Champions an Arab Vision for Gaza
Mohammed Dahlan, an adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, outlined one under which Israel and Hamas would hand power to a new and independent Palestinian leader who could rebuild Gaza under the protection of an Arab peacekeeping force.
While such plans face steep challenges, the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are open to supporting processes that are part of efforts leading to a Palestinian state, said Mr. Dahlan, who also has close ties to Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The coming US-Saudi nuclear deal: Keep it honest
(January 5, 2024)
In 1988, the Central Intelligence Agency did discover that Riyadh bought SS-2 medium-range missiles from China but only after the deal was sealed. In 2003, when China exported DF-21 ballistic missiles to the Kingdom, the CIA again found out and was even allowed to verify the missiles were not nuclear-capable, but only after the missiles were delivered.
Several years later, when intelligence finally leaked out that China secretly built missile factories for the Saudis, the Trump administration was mum on whether there was an intelligence failure and allowed speculation that it had blessed the transaction. Then, in 2020, when US intelligence confirmed China was helping the Kingdom mill uranium domestically, it did so, again only after the mining and milling were well underway.
This track record of studied inadvertence, then, brings us to the next worry: MBS wants Washington to green-light the Kingdom enriching uranium…
Initial posts on X sent by Hananya Naftali, a digital aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aroused suspicion. “Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza,” he wrote, but the post was almost immediately deleted.
Hananya Naftali, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, deleted his social media posts confirming Israel had struck Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Palestine’s Gaza, killing at least 500 Palestinians
Europawahl-Programm AfD: wollte EU nur „aus Versehen“ auflösen
(14.07.2023)
Dass solch eine gravierende Forderung ohne einen Beschluss der Bundesprogrammkommission redaktionell „aus Versehen“ in einen Leitantrag gerät, klingt etwas skurril. Aus Parteikreisen heißt es, dass vor allem Co-Parteichefin Alice Weidel im EU-Auflösungsstreben ein Problem gesehen habe und daher die Umformulierung vorziehen würde. Auch die Formulierung aus dem Bundestagswahlprogramm 2021 habe sie nicht für geeignet gehalten. Damals hatte die AfD geschrieben, sie halte einen Austritt Deutschlands aus der Europäischen Union für notwendig.
Raumsonde „Pioneer 10“ 40 Jahre aus Sonnensystem heraus
Am 13. Juni 1983 durchflog „Pioneer 10“ die Umlaufbahn des Neptun und wurde so laut NASA zum ersten menschengemachten Raumschiff, das am weitestentfernten bekannten Planeten unseres Sonnensystems vorbeiflog. Neptun ist im Mittel etwa 4,5 Milliarden Kilometer von der Sonne entfernt.
Mit „Pioneer 11“ und den beiden „Voyager“-Sonden folgten später ähnliche Missionen. „Voyager 1“ überholte „Pioneer 10“ schließlich als am weitesten von der Erde entferntes menschengemachtes Objekt. Zum bisher letzten Mal schickte „Pioneer 10“ im Jänner 2003 Daten, ein Kontaktversuch im März 2006 scheiterte.
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic: Maybe Germany is at war with Russia again? Well, we are not
„We are at war with Russia.“ I did not know that. Maybe Germany is at war with Russia again, then good luck to them, maybe it will turn out better than 70 years ago. Well, we are not at war with anyone. And I don‘t know how tanks will help Ukraine. Maybe they will help, or maybe they will burn down just like in Iraq. We will not consider this, and please take it seriously. I myself will insist on this for as long as I can.“

Opinion: Trump and now Biden, too? It’s time to reform the classification process
According to media reports, in November 2022, Biden’s personal lawyers were clearing out remaining items at his private office at his pre-presidency think tank when they located approximately 10 documents containing classification markings. The lawyers appear to have notified White House counsel, who then notified the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The documents were properly secured by the federal government the next morning. Additional reporting indicates that a second separate batch of records with classification markings were found in supplemental searches by Biden aides.
To be unequivocally clear, those documents never should have been in unauthorized locations. Period.

UN-Chef bei Hiroshima-Gedenken : Guterres: Spiel mit geladener Waffe
UN-Generalsekretär António Guterres hat bei der Zeremonie zum 77. Jahrestag des Atombombenabwurfs auf Hiroshima vor der anhaltenden Gefahr durch Atomwaffen gewarnt. „Die Menschheit spielt mit einer geladenen Waffe“, sagte Guterres an diesem Samstag bei einer Gedenkveranstaltung in der japanischen Stadt.
Atomwaffen garantierten keine Sicherheit, sondern „nur Tod und Zerstörung“, sagte Guterres bei der Zeremonie im Friedenspark Hiroshimas.

White House says Biden is not calling for regime change in Russia
„The President‘s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin‘s power in Russia, or regime change,“ the official said following Biden‘s speech in Warsaw.
‘Potentially very dangerous’: Biden’s Warsaw speech met with mixed reactions
Politicians and pundits had mixed reactions Saturday to President Biden’s impassioned speech in Warsaw, in which he rebuked Russian President Vladimir Putin and defended liberal democracy.
Biden says Putin ‚cannot remain in power‘
The line was not in Biden‘s prepared remarks, a separate White House official said.
But his remark was already reverberating as Biden departed Poland to return home to Washington after his last-minute trip to attend snap summits in Brussels and to reassure allies along NATO‘s eastern edge.
Fox News‘ Peter Doocy says Biden ‚cleared the air‘ with him following the ‚SOB‘ insult
During an event on Monday evening, Doocy attempted to ask Biden a question about inflation, to which the president responded by calling him a „stupid son of a b—-.“
Appearing on „Hannity,“ Doocy said the president reached out to him „within about an hour of that exchange.“
„He said ‘It’s nothing personal, pal,'“ Doocy said. „And we went back and forth, and we were talking about just kind of moving forward, and I made sure to tell him that I‘m always gonna try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking. And he said, ‘You got to.’ And that‘s a quote from the president, so I‘ll keep doing it.“
Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons
(April 21, 2021)
Among 3958 participants enrolled in the v-safe pregnancy registry, 827 had a completed pregnancy, of which 115 (13.9%) were pregnancy losses and 712 (86.1%) were live births (mostly among participants vaccinated in the third trimester).
Fact Check-Data from a study does not conclude that over 80% of pregnancies end in miscarriage after COVID-19 vaccinations; figures taken out of context
(04.08.2021)
Of the 3,958 participants, 827 had what the study defines as a ‘completed pregnancy’. This term includes those who either had a baby (what the authors call a ‘live birth’), or those who suffered from a miscarriage or still birth (termed ‘pregnancy loss’ in the study). The rest were either still pregnant or a follow-up had not yet been made by the time the preliminary analysis had been released.
Of the 827 women who had a completed pregnancy, 104 had a miscarriage.
WHO rejects ‘incorrect’ deadly booster social media claims
(22.12.2021)
However, he stumbles on his words at the end, which makes it appear as though he is suggesting booster jabs “kill children”.
A WHO spokesperson told the BBC that Dr Ghebreyesus “got stuck on the first syllable ‘chil’ and it came out sounding like ‘cil/kil‘.
“He repeated the same syllable, with it coming out ‘cil-children’. Any other interpretation of this is 100% incorrect.”

Nicht mehr die 7-Tage-Inzidenz, sondern die Zahl der Covid-Patienten in den Kliniken entscheidet künftig über politische Entscheidungen. Doch der neue Indikator beruht auf fehlerhaften Daten. Die @weltamsonntag -Recherche steht jetzt auf @welt
U.S. failed to keep proper track of more than $1 billion in weapons and equipment in Iraq
(May 24, 2017)
The arms and equipment transfers were apart of the Iraq Train and Equip Fund, a program that initially appropriated $1.6 billion under the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act to help Iraqi forces combat the rise of the Islamic State.
Bericht: AstraZeneca-Impfstoff wird überarbeitet
Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der Universität Oxford überarbeiten den zusammen mit dem Konzern AstraZeneca entwickelten CoV-Impfstoff, damit dieser gezielt gegen die neuen, hochansteckenden Coronavirus-Mutationen eingesetzt werden kann, die in Großbritannien, Südafrika und Brasilien entdeckt wurden.
Kommt die Impfpflicht durch die Hintertür?
Konkret heißt es in Paragraph 20, Absatz 6 unter anderem:
„Das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit wird ermächtigt, durch Rechtsverordnung mit Zustimmung des Bundesrates anzuordnen, dass bedrohte Teile der Bevölkerung an Schutzimpfungen oder anderen Maßnahmen der spezifischen Prophylaxe teilzunehmen haben, wenn eine übertragbare Krankheit mit klinisch schweren Verlaufsformen auftritt und mit ihrer epidemischen Verbreitung zu rechnen ist.“

Donald Trump Speech Transcript at Mount Rushmore 4th of July Event
One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children from this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us.
Trump Flouts Virus Rules, Warns Of ‚New Far-Left Fascism‘ In Speech Ahead Of July 4th
„They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive,“ he said. „But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them.“
In response, the crowd erupted in cheers of „USA! USA!“ and „Four more years!“
FLAGGING: The White House adjusts its statement on Iran to say Iran “had,” not “has,” a “robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried & failed to hide from the world…”
In ‚Spelling Mistake,‘ White House Says Iran Has a Nuclear Weapons Program
The White House published a statement about the Iranian nuclear program on Monday night that contradicts the official position of the U.S. Intelligence community, and later changed the phrasing of the statement on its website. The statement, attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump‘s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, included a sentence saying that currently „Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people.“
