Speaking or acting publicly and challenging policies of the U.S. government takes courage from an average citizen of the United States; it is doubly so for those who are employed by the U.S. government, and particularly those in the U.S. military.

Under the Biden administration we had seven examples of courageous acts of conscience by members of the U.S. military in refusing to be a part of the Israeli-U.S. genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

During the Trump administration, many who have privately dissented from the endless illegal policies have been fired, in particular those in the U.S. military, no matter what rank, and especially if he or she had any connection to DOD’s mandated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs.

Few have publicly challenged Trump policies while remaining in the government.

Yet, one U.S. Air Force Major has done just that.

Bab al-Mandab and expanding missile capabilities have turned Yemen into regional power

By Press TV Website Staff

The strategic importance of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, combined with Yemen’s growing missile and drone capabilities, has fundamentally reshaped regional security calculations, according to a Yemeni analyst.

Speaking to the Press TV website, Abdulmalik Mohammed Issa, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Sana’a University, highlighted the strategic importance of the Bab al-Mandab Strait to the global economy, alongside Yemen’s growing military capabilities and regional influence.

“The geopolitical position of Bab al-Mandab and missile and drone capabilities are two important and influential factors that have transformed the Ansarullah movement into one of the region’s major players,” he said.

He said the transformation of the Ansarullah resistance movement extends far beyond the acquisition of more advanced weaponry. In his view, the movement has evolved from a besieged force into a regional actor capable of shaping both maritime and airspace security, with influence stretching from the southern Red Sea to deep inside Saudi Arabia and the occupied Palestinian territories.

That shift, he said, has created an “asymmetric deterrence balance” in the region.

Rather than attempting to match the United States or the Israeli regime with conventional naval fleets or air forces, Sana’a has instead developed the ability to threaten shipping routes and critical infrastructure while dramatically increasing the cost of military operations for its adversaries, he added.

Issa pointed to the economic dimension of that strategy, arguing that relatively inexpensive drones and missiles could compel opponents to expend interceptor missiles worth millions of dollars.

Citing reports, he noted that the US Navy fired roughly 200 SM-2 and SM-3 interceptors against Yemeni attacks during 2024 and 2025, adding that the disparity in costs imposed a long-term financial and military burden on Washington and its allies.

Yemeni capabilities and changing equations

According to Issa, the Yemeni military’s growing capabilities have changed regional security equations by making its position impossible to ignore.

“Without taking Yemen’s position into account, it is no longer possible to discuss the security of the Red Sea, the future of Palestine, or Persian Gulf energy security,” he said.

The Yemeni analyst stressed that the importance of Bab al-Mandab lies not in its narrow geography but in the enormous volume of trade and energy passing through it.

The strait forms the southern gateway to the Red Sea, linking the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean to the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea, making it one of the world’s most strategically significant maritime chokepoints.

Any disruption there, he said, would reverberate far beyond Yemen, affecting global trade, shipping insurance, energy markets and supply chains connecting Asia and Europe.

Issa cited data from the US Energy Information Administration showing that approximately 8.7 million barrels of oil and petroleum products passed through Bab al-Mandab each day during 2023 before shipping disruptions reduced the figure to around four million barrels per day during the first eight months of 2024.

He also noted that Red Sea and Suez Canal routes accounted for roughly 12 percent of global seaborne oil trade and about 8 percent of global liquefied natural gas trade during the first half of 2023.

Those figures, he said, demonstrate that Bab al-Mandab was “not merely a regional corridor but an artery of the global economy.”

The Israeli regime’s interest in the strait, Issa said, has stemmed largely from the Port of Eilat, its only outlet on the Red Sea and its shortest maritime connection to Asia and East Africa.

He stated that Yemen’s growing influence over navigation around Bab al-Mandab means the Israeli regime could no longer regard the Red Sea as an unrestricted maritime zone.

Issa pointed to Yemen’s operations launched in support of Gaza since late 2023 as practical evidence of that shift. He noted that the director of Eilat Port had reported an approximately 85 percent decline in activity during the early weeks of those operations, pushing the port into severe financial difficulty.

The broader consequences, he added, have extended beyond individual vessels or ports. Increased insurance premiums, longer supply chains and the diversion of ships around the Cape of Good Hope had all raised transportation costs and delayed deliveries.

According to United Nations estimates cited by Issa, rerouting ships around Africa adds between 10 days and two weeks to some voyages between Asia and Europe while significantly increasing fuel consumption and insurance costs.

He also noted that container traffic through the Suez Canal fell by about 82 percent at the beginning of 2024, while shipping around the Cape of Good Hope increased by roughly 60 percent.

‘The ball is in Saudi Arabia’s court’

He also addressed renewed tensions surrounding Sana’a International Airport after Saudi-led attacks targeted its runway in an attempt to prevent a civilian aircraft carrying Yemeni officials from landing.

Earlier this month, tensions escalated after Saudi airstrikes struck the airport, forcing the aircraft carrying a Yemeni delegation returning from Iran to divert and land safely in Hudaydah.

The incident prompted retaliatory missile and drone strikes by Yemeni forces against Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport, raising fears that the fragile de-escalation in place since the 2022 UN-mediated truce could unravel.

Issa described the aggression against Sana’a airport as “a dangerous step” because it targeted civilian infrastructure during a period of relative calm.

While Saudi-backed forces in southern Yemen claimed responsibility for striking the runway, he said Sana’a viewed Riyadh, as leader of the military coalition and principal party to ceasefire negotiations, as ultimately responsible.

Since Saudi Arabia had led the war and blockade since 2015, Issa maintained, any escalation carried out by forces aligned with Riyadh inevitably has political and strategic consequences for the kingdom.

According to the analyst, the ceasefire has now become “an existential test,” warning that further escalation could expand beyond airports to economic infrastructure and even maritime navigation in the Red Sea.

Avoiding a wider confrontation requires Saudi Arabia to halt attacks on Sana’a International Airport, recognize Yemen’s right to administer its own airports and airspace, and return to implementing the humanitarian, economic and political roadmap that had accompanied previous negotiations.

Otherwise, he warned, Sana’a could pursue an “airport for airport” equation in response to continued attacks from Saudi Arabia or its allied forces.

“The ball is now in Saudi Arabia’s court,” Issa said. “Either it returns seriously to the path of calm and de-escalation and addresses the humanitarian and economic issues, or it bears responsibility for the collapse of the calm and the return of cross-border confrontation with all the risks that would pose to Saudi Arabia’s security, energy infrastructure and regional navigation.”

Iraqi Islamic Resistance sets Aug. 7 deadline for Baghdad to respond to US-Saudi strikes

A screengrab taken on July 29, 2026, shows raging fire burning after joint US-Saudi strikes on the positions of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMU), commonly known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, in Basra, southern Iraq.

Press TV

29 July 20206

An Iraqi anti-terror coalition has set an August 7 deadline for Baghdad to respond to joint Saudi-US airstrikes that targeted Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) across the country, killing at least 20 fighters and wounding 32 others.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq contested a late-September deadline for disarmament on Wednesday, arguing that Baghdad must first demonstrate its ability to defend the country’s sovereignty, deter future attacks, and hold perpetrators of recent strikes accountable.

The coalition also pledged to retaliate against the United States, emphasizing that reprisals were “inevitable” and could extend to US assets in Saudi Arabia if circumstances required.

It said any retaliatory measures would be held off until after the Arba’een mourning ceremony, which marks the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam and the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), to avoid disruption of the pilgrimage and religious processions.

The PMU, commonly known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, said its positions in the provinces of Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala were targeted early on Wednesday, causing material damage to the headquarters, vehicles and military equipment.

The anti-terror resistance force described the attacks as a “dangerous escalation,” a “violation of Iraq’s sovereignty” and an attack against the country’s official security institutions.

The PMU said specialized committees were continuing field operations to establish more accurate figures and information, saying that the number of those killed and wounded could rise.

Hashd al-Sha’abi resistance fighters have played a major role in the liberation of Daesh-held areas to the south, northeast, and north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, ever since the terrorists launched an offensive in the country in June 2014.

Back in November 2016, the Iraqi parliament approved a law giving full legal status to the PMU fighters. It recognized the PMU as part of the national armed forces, placed the forces under the command of the prime minister, and granted them the right to receive salaries and pensions like the regular army and police forces.

Two female Israeli soldiers die by suicide as military ‘mental health crisis’ deepens

The Cradle

29 July, 2026

▪️ According to Haaretz, two female Israeli soldiers died by suicide over the past two days, prompting investigations by the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division (MPCID). One was a combat soldier serving in the Bardelas Battalion, who was found injured at a base in southern Israel before dying on Tuesday. The other served in a classified role within the Military Intelligence Directorate and died two days earlier at the Glilot base near Ramat Hasharon. The findings will be reviewed by the Military Advocate General’s Office once the investigations are complete.

▪️ The deaths bring the number of active-duty Israeli soldiers who have died by suicide since the beginning of 2026 to at least 16. Haaretz reports that at least nine additional soldiers, including both regular and reserve personnel who served during the war but had already completed active service, also died by suicide this year. The figures point to a worsening mental health crisis within the Israeli military since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

▪️ Haaretz notes that before 7 October 2023, the Israeli military averaged 12 suicides per year over the previous decade. Since the genocide began, the numbers have risen sharply: 7 active-duty soldiers died by suicide between 7 October and the end of 2023, 21 in 2024, and 22 in 2025; the highest annual figure in 15 years. While the military says it has found no consistent demographic or service-related pattern among the cases and attributes part of the increase to the expanded size of the armed forces, particularly the reserve component, it acknowledges that some suicides are directly linked to wartime service.

▪️ The report highlights several such cases, including Eliran Mizrahi, a reserve D9 bulldozer operator who served for months in Gaza before dying by suicide in June 2024 after being diagnosed with PTSD. It also cites an armored corps soldier with PTSD who returned to reserve duty before taking his own life, and a reserve paramedic who treated casualties near Re’im. Haaretz further reports that a lieutenant colonel died by suicide in January after acquaintances said prolonged mistreatment by the military, the refusal to fund medical treatment, and mounting debts had severely damaged his mental health.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq vows response to US-Saudi attack

Who is the Iran-backed coalition Islamic Resistance in Iraq ...

The Cradle

29 July, 2026

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq issued a statement condemning a deadly US-Saudi strike that targeted Popular Mobilization fighters and a procession of Imam Hussein visitors in Karbala, following prior allegations that Iraqi factions targeted Saudi oil facilities.

The group fiercely denounced the Saudi government, characterizing it as a “treacherous dagger” and a “dirty tool” managed by the White House to undermine the Iraqi people.

Questioning both the proportionality of the attacks and the capacity of the Iraqi government to defend national sovereignty, the resistance declared, “We affirm without a doubt that the Saudi regime was not and never will be anything other than a treacherous dagger or a dirty tool managed by the White House and its suspicious intelligence agencies.”

While vowing that an inevitable retaliation against US forces and its regional assets will occur, the faction temporarily delayed its direct actions out of respect for the ongoing Arbaeen pilgrimage.

Consequently, the group issued specific ultimatums directed at state authorities and outlined its conditions for a deferred military response:

• Deadline to government authorities: “First: We give the government authorities that demanded the resistance disarm a deadline extending until the twenty-third of Safar (2 August) to see what they will do.”

• Protection of religious pilgrims and deferred retaliation: “Second: Out of our keenness to preserve the security of the visitors of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) and the honorable procession owners, and to prevent any disruption to the blessed Arbaeen pilgrimage before the completion of its rituals, our response to the American enemy is coming inevitably, and it may target its tools in Saudi Arabia whenever circumstances require.”

After Four Years of Censorship: Mainstream Media Now Confirms that “COVID Jabs May be to Blame for Increase in Excess Deaths”

“Covid Jabs May be to Blamed for Increase in Excess Deaths”

If this report by The Telegraph had been published in early 2021, tens of thousands of lives  would have been saved.

But in 2021, censorship was imposed. Honest journalism was silenced. The media was supportive of the fear campaign.

The Telegraph report by Science Editor Sara Knapton, 5 June 2024 pertains to:

Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.

They said the “unprecedented” figures “raised serious concerns” and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.

Writing in the BMJ Public Health, the authors from Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, said: “Although Covid-19 vaccines were provided to guard civilians from suffering morbidity and mortality by the Covid-19 virus, suspected adverse events have been documented as well.

“Both medical professionals and citizens have reported serious injuries and deaths following vaccination to various official databases in the Western World.”

This Is the Unspoken Truth

From early 2021, coinciding with the rollout of the Covid vaccine, an upward trend in Covid vaccine related deaths has unfolded. There is an increase in Excess Mortality attributable to the Covid Vaccine. Ironically, Three years later the mainstream media is now reporting (See Telegraph above) on Covid related vaccine excess mortality. 

Excess Mortality Triggered by the Covid 19 “Vaccine” (2020-2022)

Below is a graph pertaining to Excess Mortality in Germany (all Causes), which points to the Deviation of Observed Mortality from Expected Mortality (by age group) in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Notice the upward shift in excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 following the rollout of the Covid Vaccine in December 2020. This Tendency described for Germany is Worldwide.

Mainstream Media Disinformation

Back in 2021 the mainstream media played a key role in sustaining disinformation regarding the Covid vaccine. It was part of the propaganda apparatus. It was instrumental in sustaining the fear campaign. 

The mainstream media also provided legitimacy to a regime of censorship, threats, penalties, dismissals of  scientists and scholars at major universities, the firing of doctors and nurses at  hospitals “for telling the truth”, not to mention the insidious role of “Big Money” foundations in the bribing and cooptation of politicians in more than 190 countries, And much more.

People Worldwide have lived through this crisis. Many lives have been destroyed. Without media censorship and the suppression of the truth, this crisis would not have occurred. 

It is worth noting that the media is generously funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One oF 10 Grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC

This crisis affects humanity in its entirety, namely the planet’s 8 billion people who are the victims of fake science, fraud and corruption. Profits in the billions of dollars are the driving-force behind this diabolical agenda. “Killing is Good for Business”. What we are witnessing is a crime against humanity on an unprecedented scale, affecting the lives of the entire population of our  planet.

The WHO as well as some 190 national governments are complicit in the Covid vaccine roll-out. Concurrently,  the media in the course of the last five years, has been spinning the lies on behalf of both the governments and Big Pharma. The official data pertaining to vaccine related deaths and adverse events is not mentioned.

Flashback to November 2020. Fraudulent BBC Report

[…]

A couple of weeks prior to the official launch of the mRNA vaccine in early November 2020, the BBC featured a timely Covid media report entitled:

“Covid: Why is the Virus such a Threat”?

According to the BBC, quoting and misquoting “scientific opinion” the virus had developed “A hit and run killer evolutionary tactic” with a view to spreading the Covid-19 infection far and wide. The unspoken objective of this report by BBC Science Correspondent James Gallagher was to “scare the British public”, sustain the fear campaign while also promoting acceptance of the Covid mRNA vaccine.

The article was based on the “authoritative voice” of Prof Lehner of Cambridge University, an Infectious Diseases Physician at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge:

[…]

What Rubbish! 

“Covid: Why is coronavirus such a threat?  Answer: media disinformation and the fear campaign.

According to the BBC: A microscopic virus with an outright terrorist agenda?

This frivolous BBC report personifies the so-called “virus that does not care”, with a view to creating panic, quoting the incautious statements of a Cambridge scientist, who’s on the payroll of Big Pharma’s Wellcome Trust.

In turn the “Hit and Run Virus” (rather than corrupt governments) is blamed for having “ordered the lockdown” (March 11, 2020), imposed on 190 countries, which has created economic and social havoc Worldwide.

What is at stake is the criminalization of the mainstream media for having misled millions of people in the course of the last 3 years, thereby sustaining the lies of Big Pharma  and  the corrupt directives of  politicians, not to mention the fraudulent statements of the Director General of the WHO, Dr. Tedros.

What’s now happening is that the BBC acknowledges that people are dying but “experts are not sure why”,

The BBC “Conspiracy Theories”

The BBC accuses alleged conspiracy theorists, of stating that the Covid vaccine is ‘not safe”.

“In recent years there has been a growth in online conspiracy theories, which suggest vaccines like the Covid jab are dangerous or ineffective.Mr Ward said he’s “worried that people may believe the conspiracy theories”.But he insists “they are just that, they’re just conspiracy theories. What I’m going on is the facts”.

He said: “All of the international evidence is that the vaccines we give out in the UK are safe, they are highly effective and they’ll protect you from some really horrible diseases.”

At the same time, the BBC  describes the SARS-CoV-2 virus being involved in a “conspiratorial”  “hit and run killer evolutionary tactic” [SIC] (See BBC, James Gallagher, October 22, 2020)

Criminality at the Level of the Entire Planet

Some 14 billion doses of Covid vaccine have been administered Worldwide, 1.75 doses per person for a World population of 8 billion.

In early December 2023, the number of vaccine doses worldwide recorded by the WHO was of the order of 14 billion: an average of 1.75 vaccine doses per person for a World population of 8 billion people. (13,595,583,1250 recorded by the WHO on November 23, 2023)

Had the media truthfully reported on the nature of the Covid vaccine and its devastating impacts, millions of lives would have been saved. At this juncture, with the exception of Africa, 75% of the World population has already been vaccinated. There is no moving backwards.

The governments and national health authorities in cahoots with Big Pharma were fully aware from the very outset that the Covid-19 “vaccine” was conducive to an upward trend in mortality and morbidity.

Doctors For Covid Ethics (D4CE)

Doctors for Covid Ethics issued a broad statement in July 2021 based on the data of EudraVigilance, (EU, EEA, Switzerland), MHRA (UK) and VAERS (USA):

“more deaths and injuries from the COVID-!9 “vaccine” roll-out than from all previous vaccines combined since records began.”

The signal of harm is now indisputably overwhelming, and, in line with universally accepted ethical standards for clinical trials, Doctors for Covid Ethics demands that the COVID-19 “vaccination” programme be halted immediately worldwide.

Continuation of the programme, in the full knowledge of ongoing serious harm and death to both adults and children, constitutes Crimes Against Humanity/Genocide, for which those found to be responsible or complicit will ultimately be held personally liable.

The Secret “Classified” Pfizer Report

Another important document which was available to national health authorities in the US, was the “confidential” report by Pfizer. This report which was made public under freedom of information (FOI) in October 2021 is a bombshell.

The vaccine was launched in mid-December 2020. By the end of February 2021, “Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders.”

The data collected from mid-December 2020 to the end of February 2021 unequivocally confirms “Manslaughter”.

Based on the evidence, Pfizer had the responsibility to immediately cancel and withdraw the “vaccine”. Murder as opposed to Manslaughter implies “Criminal Intent”. From a legal standpoint it is an “Act of Murder” applied Worldwide to a target population of 8 billion people.

The Cancer Prevention Revolution Is Already Here – Mainstream Medicine Just Won’t Admit It

For decades, conventional medicine has largely dismissed vitamin C as little more than the micronutrient that prevents scurvy.

In a highly significant development, however, an important new study has concluded that this humble molecule may also have the ability to stop the development of cancer.

Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper describes how vitamin C can block the formation of potentially cancer-causing chemicals during digestion.

For supporters of Cellular Medicine, of course, such findings are less a surprise than a further powerful confirmation that Dr. Matthias Rath was right all along.

The new study proposes that taking a vitamin C supplement shortly after eating meals could reduce the production of chemicals known as N-nitroso compounds. These compounds are produced from nitrates and nitrites, chemicals that occur naturally in vegetables such as spinach and beetroot but are also widely used as preservatives in processed meats.

Inside the body, nitrates and nitrites perform useful functions, such as helping to regulate blood flow and supporting cardiovascular health. However, under certain conditions in the acidic environment of the stomach, they can also be converted into N-nitroso compounds, many of which are suspected or known to increase the risk of cancer.

Scientists have long struggled to explain why nitrate-rich vegetables are consistently associated with better health while processed meats have repeatedly been linked to a higher cancer risk. If both contain nitrates or nitrites, they wonder, why don’t they produce the same effects?

The Protective Effect of Vitamin C and Other Antioxidants

The authors of the new study, who are based at the University of Waterloo in Canada, believe their research has uncovered an important piece of the puzzle. To better understand the interactions that take place, they built a complex mathematical model that examines what happens to nitrates, nitrites, and vitamin C as food passes through the body. Their model takes into account factors such as the role of the salivary glands, stomach, small intestine, and blood plasma.

The findings are striking. When vitamin C was present during the digestive processing of dietary nitrates and nitrites, it markedly reduced the formation of harmful nitrosation products that can eventually lead to the production of cancer-associated N-nitroso compounds. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, intercepting highly reactive nitrogen compounds before they can form cancer-associated chemicals. Instead of allowing these dangerous chemical reactions to proceed, vitamin C effectively diverted them towards harmless end products.

This observation neatly explains why vegetables rich in nitrates don’t behave like processed meats. Leafy green vegetables naturally provide generous amounts of vitamin C and other protective antioxidants alongside their nitrates. In other words, nature supplies both the compound and its built-in protection in the same food. Processed meats, by contrast, often contain nitrites but little or none of the vitamin C needed to block the harmful cancer-causing reactions.

The study therefore points to a simple but powerful conclusion. It is not merely exposure to nitrates or nitrites that matters. Equally important is whether the body has enough protective micronutrients available at exactly the right time to neutralize potentially dangerous chemical reactions before they can damage cells.

Dr. Rath was Right

The finding fits remarkably well with a growing body of scientific evidence showing that vitamin C plays multiple roles in protecting against cancer. Beyond helping to reduce the formation of carcinogenic nitroso compounds, vitamin C also acts as one of the body’s most important antioxidants, protecting DNA from oxidative damage, supporting healthy immune function, promoting collagen production that helps maintain the integrity of tissues and blood vessels, and contributing to the normal regulation of numerous cellular processes involved in tumor development.

For long-time supporters of Cellular Medicine, however, these facts will come as no surprise. More than two decades ago, Dr. Matthias Rath and his research team opened an entirely new direction in cancer research. At the 19th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference in 2002, they presented groundbreaking research demonstrating that a specific micronutrient combination consisting of vitamin C, the amino acids lysine and proline, and the green tea extract epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could dramatically inhibit the spread of cancer cells. Their research focused on strengthening the body’s connective tissue and preventing cancer cells from breaking through this natural barrier, thereby attacking one of the key mechanisms that allows tumors to invade surrounding tissues and spread throughout the body.

Coming at a time when conventional cancer research remained overwhelmingly focused on surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, Dr. Rath’s discoveries highlighted an entirely different approach based on correcting underlying micronutrient deficiencies and restoring normal cellular function. Since then, numerous independent research groups around the world have published further studies investigating the anti-cancer properties of vitamin C and other natural micronutrients. Today, study after study continues to reinforce the principles first established through Dr. Rath’s pioneering work.

An Exciting Future Lies Ahead

Ultimately, the real question raised by this Canadian study is not simply whether vitamin C deserves more attention. It is why it has taken so long for mainstream medicine to acknowledge what independent nutritional research has been demonstrating for decades. While billions of dollars continue to be spent developing ever more expensive cancer drugs, relatively little attention is paid to inexpensive micronutrients that help the body protect itself naturally. One important reason is that vitamin C is a naturally occurring nutrient that cannot be patented. As a result, it attracts only a fraction of the commercial investment devoted to developing new pharmaceutical drugs.

More than twenty years after Dr. Rath and his research team first demonstrated that a targeted combination of vitamin C and other micronutrients could inhibit the spread of cancer cells, the scientific evidence increasingly proves that he was right. Micronutrients are not merely ‘supplements’ to health – they are fundamental to it. As mainstream science slowly catches up, one fact is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: the first line of defense against cancer isn’t found in a chemotherapy clinic – it begins inside every cell of the human body.

Are Kushner and Witkoff Profiting Off the Iran Negotiations?

Harold Black PhD

Negotiations with Iran have a long history of falling apart, so it’s hardly shocking that the latest round — led by two men with no diplomatic background — has collapsed too. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff built their careers closing real estate deals, not brokering peace between nations. Yet Trump keeps turning to them, having already tapped the pair to handle talks with Russia over Ukraine.

Their track record is not encouraging. Politico has reported that Ukrainian and European officials point to Witkoff’s go-it-alone approach as part of the problem, noting that he has resisted input from experts and allies and has, at times, approached the war as though it were a real estate negotiation rather than a geopolitical conflict.

Compounding the problem, the administration’s downsizing of the State Department has left both the Russia and Iran negotiating teams thin on career diplomats and regional experts. Adding the inexperienced Kushner to the Iran talks only deepens that gap. The administration’s defense is that a small, nimble team beats a large phalanx of diplomats — essentially applying a dealmaker’s mindset to statecraft. But as one official put it, a business mentality only works if you actually understand who you’re dealing with; commercial instincts are no substitute for grasping the region, Islam, and the actual interests of Iran and its allies.

Kushner’s presence on the team raises additional concerns given his family’s long, close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. More troubling still are allegations that details from the talks have been leaked to Israel, and that Kushner has used his position for personal financial gain. According to Common Dreams, Kushner has simultaneously been courting Middle Eastern governments to invest billions in his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.

https://www.commondreams.org/news/jared-kushner-iran-private-equity

The New York Times has reported that Kushner discussed a potential $5 billion investment from Middle Eastern backers into that fund — notable given that he said in December 2024 the firm wouldn’t need to raise capital for four years, specifically to sidestep conflict-of-interest concerns. I guess he forgot.

Elizabeth Warren has criticized the arrangement, arguing that while American troops face danger in the Middle East, Trump’s envoy is out fundraising for his own firm. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has claimed a fair deal between the US and Iran was within reach before hostilities escalated — though any statement from Iranian officials deserves real skepticism. But Kushner’s firm does do substantial business with foreign partners who have direct stakes in the very conflicts he’s supposed to be neutrally negotiating.

The clearest conflict of interest involves oil. Any settlement with Iran would likely include lifting sanctions on Iranian crude — and Kushner’s clients, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, are themselves major oil producers. Since Iran sits outside OPEC, easing those sanctions would boost global supply and could push prices down, cutting against the interests of the very governments Kushner represents commercially. Simultaneously negotiating US foreign policy while collecting substantial fees from foreign governments raises serious legal questions, and at minimum, a clear ethical problem.

Drop Site News has reported an even more explosive claim: that an Iranian official told Vice President Vance – which of course he denies – that Kushner and Witkoff are more focused on using inside knowledge of the talks to profit in financial markets than on reaching an actual agreement. The outlet also cited concerns from Iranian negotiators about Kushner relaying details directly to Netanyahu and an Axios report that Witkoff and Kushner speak with Netanyahu and Israel’s Mossad chief nearly daily. Iran reportedly presented documentation to mediators alleging that people close to Trump were exploiting the war and the diplomatic process to move financial markets.

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/iran-jd-vance-kushner-witkoff-exploiting-negotiations

In fact, Iran calculated profits that from such alleged manipulation had reached $9 billion and formally requested, in writing, that Iran should share in the proceeds. “We have conveyed through intermediaries that $4.5 billion of this sum should also be allocated to the Iranian side,” the Iranian official said.

Drop Site also quoted an Iranian official describing Witkoff as having no real grasp of diplomacy, claiming he misrepresented Iran’s positions — including on the fate of its enriched uranium stockpile — and that his mistaken read of the talks was passed straight on to Trump. Iran is reportedly pushing for larger negotiating delegations that include actual technical and country experts, noting that during earlier talks in Oman and Switzerland, Witkoff and Kushner arrived without nuclear or subject-matter specialists and seemed unfamiliar with the technical substance of the issue. Iranian negotiators say they laid out their enriched uranium stockpile in detail and viewed their own flexibility as the basis for what Araghchi called, on February 25, a possible “historic opportunity” for an unprecedented deal — an offer Witkoff apparently mischaracterized afterward as a threat to build multiple weapons.

I’d encourage anyone interested to read the full report. Statements from Iranian officials should be taken with real skepticism, but the allegations here are serious regardless: that Kushner and Witkoff used the negotiations for personal profit, that details were funneled directly to Netanyahu and Mossad, and that Iran’s actual positions were misrepresented to the president. Whatever the truth of those specific claims, the broader question stands — why rely on Kushner and Witkoff at all, rather than seasoned diplomats backed by real technical and regional expertise? More troubling is that if all of this is true, it is being done with the president’s knowledge and blessing.

Big Tech Forcing Consumers to Pay for AI Boom – Voters Pushing Back

A person holding a sign that reads "NO DATA CENTERS" with "DATA CENTERS" crossed out in a red circle.
From MarketWatch:

Excerpts:

For two years, the power trade was the stock market’s favorite way to own the AI boom without paying Nvidia-sized multiples. Buy anything that generates electricity, the logic went, because every data center needs power and supply is short.

It worked. Independent power producers rerated like technology stocks, and utilities that spent decades as bond proxies suddenly had growth stories.

That blanket logic is now breaking down, with politics as the catalyst.

Voters are angry about electricity bills. Electricity rates rose 7.1% nationally in 2025, according to the Energy Information Administration’s measure of average retail revenue per kilowatt-hour, and are expected to keep climbing.

Brookings noted that a poll earlier this year showed a plurality of voters across party lines see data centers as a direct threat to their home energy costs, and both major U.S. political parties have discovered the issue works.

Every pending utility rate case between now and the November elections is a potential campaign ad.

Which utility stocks survive the next two years will be decided by whether tech companies or consumers pay for the AI build-out. The market has priced the bottleneck. It has not yet priced who gets stuck with the bill.

Massie says US significantly weakened by war on Iran

Al Mayadeen English

27 July, 2026

United States Representative Thomas Massie said the US has been weakened by the war on Iran, as reports say CENTCOM urged the White House to halt bombing.

United States Representative Thomas Massie said the United States has been “significantly weakened by the war with Iran,” arguing in an X post that the campaign depleted missile-defense systems, drained oil reserves, sacrificed US troops, pushed up consumer prices, increased debt, and sidelined domestic needs “all for Israel.”

The Kentucky Republican’s remarks added fresh political pressure to an already widening debate in Washington over the price of the war on Iran, the scope of US involvement, and the degree to which the White House has tied American military power to “Israel’s” regional agenda. That debate has sharpened as more lawmakers question the administration’s war powers and the long-term cost of the campaign.

CENTCOM urged a pause near the Strait of Hormuz

Massie’s remarks came as Axios reported that Admiral Brad Cooper, the top US military commander in West Asia and head of CENTCOM, advised the Trump administration to halt bombing around the Strait of Hormuz after concluding the two-week assault had reached diminishing returns. Axios said Cooper briefed the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the White House earlier in the week, and that his assessment helped shape Trump’s decision to pause strikes along Iran’s southern coastline and around the strategic waterway.

The report said Cooper warned that most of the assigned targets had already been struck, leaving few objectives whose destruction would materially change the battlefield. In other words, the campaign had begun to run out of useful military targets unless Trump was prepared to escalate the war further.

Air-defense stocks under strain

Meanwhile, General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth that shortages of air-defense interceptors could reduce Washington’s ability to shield its bases and regional allies if the confrontation escalated again. The warning echoed broader concerns inside the Pentagon about the strain that the war on Iran has placed on US missile-defense inventories.

The New York Times said senior advisers including Caine and Vice President JD Vance raised similar concerns about the shrinking stockpile of Patriot interceptors and other air-defence systems needed to protect US forces across the region. That assessment reportedly played a major role in Trump’s decision to hold back from a larger escalation.
