Netanyahu never cared about the hostages, his critics say
MEARSHEIMER: ISRAEL WILL SACRIFICE HOSTAGES FOR A GREATER ISRAEL
Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister and top “settler,” said at a conference that Gaza “is becoming a real estate bonanza” and there are already discussions in place with the U.S. about “how to divide the percentages of the land in Gaza.”
“The demolition phase is always the first phase of urban renewal,” he said, according to Haaretz. “We did that, now we need to start building.”
Breaking the Silence, the Israeli veterans’ organization, posted in response:
The truth is out: Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Gaza is a real estate pearl, and that talks are underway with the U.S. on how to divide the land. This is why the assault on Gaza continues. Not Hamas, not hostages, not security – only messianic agendas and real estate.
The goals in Gaza have been clear, ever since Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and member of the Friends of Israel Defense Forces national board, said in 2024: “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods.”
“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a security cabinet meeting earlier this month that U.S. President Donald Trump encouraged him to go all out in Gaza and to avoid seeking “partial deals” with Hamas to receive some of the remaining 50 hostages—20 of whom are believed to be alive—still inside the enclave.
The Israeli military has been carrying out a new offensive in Gaza City and told hundreds of thousands of civilians there—many of whom have been displaced—to move south once again, which the UN called “incomprehensible.”
The Trump administration is comprised of only pro-Israel extremists, but his team represents a generation that is aging out of politics. Trump spoke to the Daily Caller and was asked about eroding support for Israel — even among Republicans in the U.S.

Pfizer, Moderna shares plunge on report Trump officials plan to link 25 child deaths to COVID vaccine
Shares in Pfizer and Moderna fell 3.9% and 7.4%, respectively, Friday after a report that the Trump administration plans to link the deaths of 25 children to COVID vaccines.
Trump health officials plan to include the claim in a presentation next week to a panel of advisors to the CDC that is considering new COVID vaccine recommendations, which can impact access to the shots and whether they’re free, according to the Washington Post.
Those deaths were seemingly gathered from information submitted to the government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, according to the report.
[…]
Moderna did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
The vaccine advisory panel’s meeting next week is crucial, as it will help determine whether insurers must pay for the vaccines, as well as whether pharmacies can administer them and doctors are willing to offer them at their practices.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – who was recently grilled by senators from both parties at a tense hearing on vaccines – ousted every member of the vaccine panel earlier this year and replaced them with his own picks.
Health officials’ planned presentation for next week included attempts to interview some families, though it’s unclear what other information was used in preparation, according to the report.
In May, Kennedy ordered health officials to stop recommending the shots for healthy children, saying only people at high risk of complications from COVID or over age 65 need them.
The health agency also cancelled nearly $500 million in research funding on mRNA vaccines.

The Dark History of Hormone and Puberty Blockers
Story at a Glance:
•Puberty blockers used for transgender medicine belong to a class of drugs (GnRH agonists) which permanently block the production of sex hormones in the body. As hormones are essential for the body, GnRH agonists are amongst the most harmful drugs on the market.
•Originally approved (with grave reservations from the FDA) as a palliative treatment for severe prostate cancer, these drugs (e.g., Lupron) have rapidly proliferated into a wide range of areas in medicine, including routine prostate cancer, a myriad of female issues (e.g., endometriosis) and all sorts of experimental uses on children (e.g., making them taller).
•This proliferation was due to manufacturers pricing the drugs to generate enormous profits for themselves and doctors (in many cases constituting most of urology practices’ revenues)—likely why most urologists, when surveyed, admitted prescribing Lupron despite not believing it worked.
•These drugs rapidly age the body, causing permanent and crippling side effects, including severe bone loss, pain, soft tissue damage, severe pain hormonal disruption, sexual dysfunction, psychiatric issues, cognitive impairment, cancer risks, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders.
•Their use in transgender children to block puberty stems from an unproven theory that it ultimately leads to a more satisfying gender transition in adulthood. However, while aggressively advocating for them and publicly claiming these drugs are safe, effective, and reversible, in private, the group authoring the medical guidelines have admitted they have no idea what they are doing and know there are serious safety issues with the drugs.
•This article will expose the hidden truths about hormone blockers, the forgotten generations whose lives were ruined by them, and extensive documentation showing how dangerous these ‘safe and effective’ drugs are.
Transgenderism has rapidly become one of the most contentious political issues in our country and due to its rapid rise, a variety of theories have been put forward to explain where it emerged from. Remarkably, I almost never see what I believe to be one of the most important facets of the topic discussed—the immense dangers of hormonal blockers routinely used in this field or the appalling history of these drugs and how again and again, they’ve been thrust into new markets they had no place ever being used in because of how profitable they are.
As such, when laws are periodically passed banning their use in children (which has now happened in many Red States), I rarely see the actual dangers of these drugs discussed, and when I’ve spoken to left-wing colleagues (including pediatricians) opposing these laws about the topic, most are genuinely unaware the drugs have negative side effects. Because of this, I believe it is vital to expose the actual truth behind these drugs.
How Hormonal Blockers Work
A variety of different GnRH over-activators are sold, such as Decapeptyl (Triptorelin), Lupron (Leuprorelin), Suprefact (Buserelin), Synarel (Nafarelin), Zoladex (Goserelin). Since Lupron is the most commonly used one, henceforth, I will only discuss it, but much of what I will say about Lupron also applies to the others as well.
Note: there are also numerous similar drugs which instead temporarily shut down hormone production by directly blocking the GnRH receptor (e.g., Orilissa). Additionally, there are other GnRH over-activators which are only used in animals and have similar side effects to those observed in humans.
Since testosterone fuels the growth of prostate cancer, there was a lot of research on cutting of the body’s testosterone to treat it. Initially the most promising approach was to counteract testosterone with an estrogen analog (DES) which was eventually pulled from the market because it caused a wide variety of issues (e.g., heart attacks, female cancers, and a variety of severe problems in the children of mothers who took DES—which has led many to argue the COVID-19 vaccines may become “the new DES”).
Since Lupron, by burning out GnRH receptors, chemically castrates males (and thereby eliminates their testosterone), a 1984 study was conducted comparing the use of DES to Lupron for patients with prostate cancer which had metastasized to the bones and was hence likely to be fatal. It found Lupron slightly increased their survival rate (although half still were dead within two years of starting the therapy) and it had a slightly different mix of severe symptoms when compared to DES, which in turn was used to argue it was a viable alternative to DES.
When the FDA reviewed this study, the reviewers noted the study had a variety of serious issues so it was difficult to draw any firm conclusions from it. As a result (despite the FDA knowing Lupron had real longterm risks that had not been investigated and other critical aspects of the drug like how the body metabolizes it remaining unknown to this day), Lupron was approved in 1985 as a “palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer,” a situation which is frequently so debilitating and painful for cancer patients, anything which could potentially somewhat improve it is viewed as justified.
[…]
Since that time, Lupron’s approval was never updated. For those interested, a detailed explanation of why that approval was overtly fraudulent and unwarranted can be found here.
[…]
Once Lupron was approved, it use transitioned from only the most severe prostate cancers to all of them (even though, as shown by a 2009 study of 19,271 men, using Lupron actually increased the death rate). At the same time, a variety of other copycat drugs entered the market. The FDA in turn approved them (or Lupron) for advanced prostate cancer, advanced breast cancer, endometriois (along with its pretreatment prior to surgery), the pretreatment of fibroids before surgery, and preventing precocious (early) puberty.
[…]
Additionally, a variety of other off-label uses were concocted, such as:
•“Treating” every imaginable gynecological problem (e.g., large fibroids, difficult menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts).
•In-vitro-fertilization and egg donation protocols.
[…]
•Chemical castration for sex offenders (e.g., pedophiles).
•Helping children become taller (by delaying puberty so their growth plates take longer to close).
•Preventing puberty in a transgendered youth
[…]
In turn, there are three important things to take away from all of this.
1. While these drugs were initially developed for men (i.e., prostate cancer), they are frequently given off-label to women. This for example is why Lupron’s FDA insert states its only indication is for the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer but it simultaneously warns against pregnant women taking it (even though it’s also used for egg harvesting)
2. Despite having been on the market for decades, there is very little evidence to show these drugs actually benefit those who take them.
3. Given this, along with how incredibly toxic they are (especially to women), it raises a fairly simple question—why on earth are these drugs so popular?
Selling Lupron
Since Lupron initially did not sell well, Lupron’s manufacturer took advantage of the existing “standard” which allows chemotherapy drugs to be sold for a very high price and be “forgiven” for their extreme toxicity. This was done by reformulating Lupron into a long acting monthly shot urologists could directly administer to their (prostate cancer) patients and hence directly profit from marking up when they resold it (e.g., Medicare paid 1200 dollars per shot—or roughly 2400 in today’s dollars, and in many cases urologists charged far more, all of which allowed many urologists to make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year administering the shots).
[…]
To further sweeten the deal, Lupron’s manufacturer frequently bribed urologists and gave them free Lupron samples they “resold.” This was illegal—and eventually resulted in a 875 million dollar fine…but no pharmaceutical executives going to prison.
Because Lupron was immensely profitable, more and more urologists jumped on it, and by the late 1990s Lupron treatments were costing almost a billion dollars per year and accounted for 40 percent of all Medicare payments to many urology practices in the late 1990s. To address this, in 2001, Medicare clamped down on urologists reselling discounted Lupron and in 2003 Medicare lowered the reimbursement for Lupron. In turn from 2003-2005, the rate of inappropriate use of hormonal treatment for prostate cancer dropped from 38.7% to 25.7% and many urologists at the time reported their income had been halved.
[…]
This Medicare crackdown on excessive Lupron prescribing for prostate cancer created a major problem for the industry. “Fortunately,” since Lupron was so profitable, many others specialities appeared eager to jump on the Lupron bandwagon, particularly OBGYNs (despite the existing data on using Lupron for gynecological conditions being very poor and in many cases overtly fraudulent). This in turn led to a rapid proliferation of new off-label “uses” for the drug, such as the ones listed above. Remarkably, despite the fact Lupron has been on the market for decades, it is still extremely expensive.
Lupron hence is a very lucrative drug. However it is unclear to me exactly what the current reimbursement is for it (e.g., when I’ve looked online, many patients said they were billed over 10,000 dollars for a single injection).
A recent article exploring the subject found that puberty blockers can cost tens of thousand dollars per year. While insurance typically covers these drugs around 72% of the time, without insurance, according to once source, they cost $4,000–$25,000 per year and according to another source a 3 month Lupron injection is $9500 while a competing 3 month option (histrelin) is $39,000.
Similarly, a 2022 NPR article detailing a man’s prostate cancer experience (where he was given unwarranted Lupron shots) reports he was charged $35,414 for the first shot and $38,398 for the second by a Chicago “non-profit” hospital, and after two years of haggling, was forced to pay the $7,000 not covered by his health insurance.
Let’s compare that to how much Lupron costs (this table designates the average wholesale price pharmacies pay for drugs):
[…]
Since all of this demonstrates that Lupron is marked up by 5-10 times its original cost when it is resold to patients, I would argue those who provide these medications may have an ulterior motive in giving them to patients which frequently causes the drugs to be inappropriately prescribed.

Israeli Filmmaker Searches for Stolen Palestinian Films
A Reel War: Israeli Filmmaker’s Search for Stolen Palestinian Films
Karnit Mandel (2025)
Film Review
In this intriguing film, Israeli filmmaker Karnit Mandel profiles her search for the Palestinian film archive stolen from the Beirut Palestine Research Center when Israel briefly occupied the city in 1982. The narrative is interspersed with snippets (accessed from other sources) of Palestinian families and children going about their lives. Even films from the early fifties portray daily life in Gaza as strikingly cosmopolitan with children healthy and well dressed.
Among the people she interviews are the former Palestinian archivist for the Beirut research, IDF and Israeli intelligence officials and two Israeli film archivists. Retired Israeli archivist Dr Yakov Loazovick believes Israel has an obligation to return the films or at least make them public – that a truly democratic state would only restrict classified information and only for a limited 70-year period.
The film also features footage from 1968 Operation Karameh, and Israeli attack on Karameh on the Jordan border. Faced with the combined force of the PLO and the Jordanian army, the IDF was pulverized, with 30 troops killed, 100 wounded and more missing in action. The Israeli government banned publishing the true outcome of the operation until 1984, instead they released a propaganda news reel (filmed in a totally different location). Mandel shows us excerpts of both.
Some of the most intriguing footage is from the thriving Palestinian export city of Jaffa in 1946, when the population (mainly Arab) was 123,000. Other footage shows unarmed Arabs surrendering at gunpoint to Haganah terrorists in 1948. One Israeli intellligence officer Mandel interviews asserts Palestinians were an insignificant minority in Palestine prior to Israel’s formation and left voluntarily.
After repeated calls and interviews with various Israeli officials, Mandel’s request to access the Palestinian archives to return them to the Palestinian Authority is denied – for the following reasons:
“The existence of a Palestinian film archive is an urban myth”
“It shouldn’t be returned because it’s all propaganda.”
“Palestine didn’t exist at that time. That concept was created later.”
“The film archive may have been destroyed.”
“It was returned to the Palestinians under the Oslo Accords” (a participant in the Oslo meetings asserts it was never discussed).
According to Mandel Palestinian cinema began in the 1930s
Were Donald Trump and Bill Clinton Blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein Working for Israeli Intelligence?
Epstein’s network may have had a major hand in blocking peace initiatives in the Middle East—past and present
[For an earlier examination of Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to intelligence agencies, see previous CAM article here.—Editors]
Ari Ben-Menashe is an Iranian-born former Israel Defense Forces intelligence operative.
In the 1980s, he was involved in the Iran-Contra scandal in which American hostages were released from Lebanon in exchange for Israeli weapons being sent to Iran.
From 1983 to 1985 the IDF intelligence director was Ehud Barak, who later became head of the IDF and then prime minister of Israel.
According to Ben-Menashe, the Iranian money was held for the Israeli government by publisher Robert Maxwell.
As part of his work with Maxwell, Ben-Menashe says he knew first-hand that Jeffrey Epstein was working for Robert in “financial services” and with Israeli intelligence.
Robert introduced Epstein to his daughter Ghislaine.
Speaking out is dangerous for Ben-Menashe. His Canadian home was bombed in 2012 after he defected from IDF intelligence.
Ben-Menashe said in mid August 2025: “In the 1990s [culminating in the Camp David summit in 2000] Bill Clinton and Ehud Barak, who was prime minister of Israel at the time, had a meeting in Washington with [PLO President Yasser] Arafat, and they did not sign the peace deal that was available because they were blackmailed by the Israeli Right. We could have had some sort of deal with the Palestinians going back to the ‘90s. But Ehud Barak and Clinton were being blackmailed by the Israeli Right [i.e., Benjamin Netanyahu and others].”[1]
[…]
Recall the portrait of Clinton in Epstein’s New York townhouse where Clinton is wearing Monica Lewinsky’s blue semen-stained dress. Monica Lewinsky was in a sexual relationship with the president at this time.
Many in Washington knew about the on-going affair, and it would have been easy to tap her phone. Gordon Thomas (Gideon’s Spies, 1999) reported that Clinton was blackmailed through Netanyahu’s possession of tapes of sexual phone calls made between him and Lewinsky.
In April 1997 Netanyahu and Clinton met again. The next month, according to Lewinsky, Clinton broke up with her and proposed that they pretend they were trying to fool eavesdroppers if the tapes ever surfaced.
In fall 1998 Clinton hosted Netanyahu and Arafat for further peace talks. The Washington Post broke the Lewinsky sex story at this time. Was Monica another unwitting Queen Esther who saved Israel (i.e., Netanyahu)?
According to The New York Times, Netanyahu at the time asked Clinton to release Jonathan Pollard, referring to the Lewinsky tapes by saying he had thrown them away.[2]
Pollard was not released by Clinton nor was it the principal blackmail goal. Rather, the goal was to destroy the peace accord with Arafat. The 2000 Palestinian summit was indeed wrecked. Ben-Menashe says that Epstein had blackmail material on both Clinton and Barak, who made many visits to Epstein and who made a fortune in the U.S. in business after he left government.
The peace deal failed when Barak suddenly demanded that Arafat state that the PLO would make no such claims in the future, something to which the Palestinians could not possibly agree. Also, Clinton reneged on a promise to Assad to return the Golan Heights to Syria.[3]
Earlier, in 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who had reached a peace agreement with Arafat, the Oslo Accords, was assassinated by the Israeli Right, inflamed by Netanyahu.
Perhaps Rabin had stood up to blackmail attempts made by the Israeli Right. (The Right claimed Rabin was blackmailed by Washington into making concessions in the Oslo Accords.) Rabin rightly received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. But the Accords failed after his assassination.
Last month, the usually reticent Ben-Menashe, gave a couple of interviews in which he pleaded with President Donald Trump to end the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.
Unlike the Ukraine War, Trump could actually stop the killing in Palestine in one day by withholding funding from Israel. But Netanyahu exerts extreme leverage over him.
Ben-Menashe urges President Trump to face whatever this hold is, no matter how dark and dangerous. If Trump, who has survived one assassination attempt, were brave enough to take this action, he could honestly merit the Nobel Peace Prize.
This month has also seen the publication of Andrew Lownie’s biography of Prince Andrew, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. In it he claims that the president’s future wife, Melania Knauss (nee Melanija Knavs in Yugoslavia), had sex with Epstein (a close associate of Prince Andrew as well as Trump) a year before she married Trump.[4]
That this assertion was subsequently excised in the audio and eBook versions of Lownie’s biography speaks volumes. Epstein and Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who has many hours of interview tapes with Epstein, claims that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. If Trump was introduced to his present wife by Epstein, or even by associates of Epstein such his Trump Organization associate and Melania’s model agent, Paolo Zampolli, that would put an Israeli asset in the president’s marital bed.
[…]
Hunter Biden repeated Wolff’s assertion about how Trump met Melania on Access 5 news on August 6. Melania responded by threatening to sue Hunter Biden for defamation and demanded that the interview in which Hunter made that statement be removed. It is still up on YouTube as of August 20, 2025, as well as Hunter’s response in which he says he welcomes an official discussion of the matter.[5]
[…]
Michael Wolff in the Daily Beast claims that Trump met with Putin about ending the Ukraine War, as promised to his MAGA base, in order to distract from never-ending demands that he come clean on Epstein. By now, the media have established Jeffrey as an ever-greater villain than Vladimir Putin.
Is a Melania-Epstein connection a major blackmail element for Trump? Epstein, as part of an Israeli intelligence network headed by the Maxwell family, provided a variety of services to powerful men, not just the financial services noted by Ben-Menashe and others or the more publicized services involving underage girls.
Although outright financial blackmail might result from Epstein’s taping pedophilic acts, blackmail for political purposes can be brought to bear on powerful men in their relations with young adult women if they are tainted by being supplied by Epstein, especially if he was working for Israeli intelligence.
One of Epstein’s services was providing beautiful and accomplished young, but definitely over-the-age-of-consent, trophy wives for powerful older men. The problem here is that the wives, as assets of Israeli intelligence, have access to vast amounts of information that is easily transmitted to their handlers, whether they are consciously cooperating or not. They are also tainted by intimate friendship with the voracious pedophile.
One example of Epstein’s match-making is that of former Miss Sweden, Eva Andersson, who had a relationship with Epstein in the 1980s when she was modeling and attending medical school. Andersson later met and married Glenn Dubin, Jewish billionaire founder of Highbridge Capital Management.
The couple maintained a close relationship with Epstein. Dr. Andersson-Dubin has since founded the Dubin Breast Center of the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
The late Virginia Roberts Giuffre testified under oath that Ghislaine Maxwell instructed her to “have sex with Glenn Dubin,” including “erotic massages.” There is no proof that Epstein introduced Andersson to Dubin, but they clearly were all mutually involved.
A less well-known example of Epstein’s match-making is Melanie Starnes Walker, sometimes known as Starnes-Zuniga. When she first met Epstein and Trump in 1992, she was an attractive, sophisticated, and intelligent daughter of an upscale Mexican-American family in Laredo, Texas.
She had recently graduated from the University of Texas and was looking for summer work in New York. Epstein and Trump spied her dining at Trump’s New York Plaza Hotel. Epstein offered her a job as a lingerie model for Les Wexner’s Victoria’s Secret.
Walker apparently left her law student husband in Texas and moved to Manhattan. When Epstein discovered Walker’s brains and breeding, he encouraged her to attend medical school while grooming her as a suitable mate for a powerful man. He hired her as his “science adviser.” Epstein introduced Walker to Prince Andrew in New York in 1999.
Walker dined with the Prince and spent intimate time with him at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Walker was too brainy and too old for the Prince—he called “Dork” and “smarty pants” —but they remained close friends.
Walker proved, however, an ideal partner for what some considered the second-most-powerful man at Microsoft—Steven Sinofsky. In June 2000 she took him as her date to Andrew’s gala 40th birthday party at Windsor Castle, which Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell also attended.
In turn, Sinovsky introduced Walker to Bill Gates at a company barbecue. Walker moved to the Los Angeles area to pursue a medical residency in neurosurgery, which she completed in 2005. She then spent a year with the WHO in China. On her return, she moved in with Sinofsky in Seattle and got a job as a senior program officer with the Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation subsequently set her up as a senior adviser for the World Bank. Sinofsky became president of Microsoft’s Windows Division in 2009.
At the Foundation, Walker befriended the organization’s science adviser, Harvard Professor Boris Nikolic, who traveled and socialized with Gates. She remained close to Epstein and introduced Nikolic to him. Nikolic, in turn, introduced Gates to Epstein. In 2011 Gates went to Epstein’s New York City townhouse and was joined by Eva Andersson-Dubin and her daughter.
Shortly thereafter, Melinda Gates began expressing concern about her husband’s connections to Epstein. Sinofsky was abruptly fired from Microsoft in November 2012. Walker left the Gates Foundation in 2013 and became a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum specializing in Neurotechnology and Brain Science. In 2019 the WEF held Event 201, which foresaw the Covid pandemic. Ironically, Walker subsequently founded and currently directs the University of Washington’s Clot Bank, which studies use of mitochondrial infusions to heal from stroke.
In a peculiar denouement, a few days before he “died,” Epstein designated Nikolic an executor of his will. Nikolic was shocked and declined the job. He claimed Epstein’s selection of him was “retaliatory” because those at the Foundation had realized for several years that Epstein’s philanthropy was to ingratiate himself with powerful others for his own purposes. Did he realize that Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence?
Israeli kompromat is not only for money but for major political favors, such as those previously given to Netanyahu by Barak and Clinton. Such a stranglehold comes from a combination of physical threat, sexual favors, bribes and blackmail.
Consider President Harry Truman. In 1947 he was sent a letter bomb by the Zionist Stern Gang, headed by Yitzhak Shamir, future prime minister of Israel. Truman’s letter was intercepted by security, unlike some others sent by the Stern Gang. Truman then pushed a Palestinian partition plan through the UN. His 1948 presidential campaign was funded by Zionist lobbyist Abe Feinberg. Truman made the U.S. the first state to defacto recognize Israel in 1948 when David Ben-Gurion announced its independence.
A Proxy War with Israel Looms on Horizon for Turkey
[…]
Israel commands, the US obeys. His attack on Qatar is clear proof of this. The attack, which completely destroyed Trump’s already crumbling credibility, was a complete trap.
Trump’s team summons Hamas leaders to a meeting, Israel receives information about the location and time (though it didn’t get it right; it only killed five insignificant people), and “Judas” countries like Jordan and Saudi Arabia open their airspace to Israeli aircraft. Even more tragically, the Israeli planes likely refueled with American tanker aircraft, departing from the Al Udeid base in Qatar.
This is one aspect of the situation, but the more important aspect is the geopolitical consequences of bombing a country like Qatar, a Rothschild satellite of the US. Qatar has paid a heavy price for its friendship with Zionism and must now look to new horizons.
If Qatar, already deeply unpopular in the Gulf Arab world, takes the risk, it could acquire the S-400 defense system from Russia to replace its outdated Patriot missile defense system. It could draw closer to the BRICS and the SCO.
This would cause the US to lose its closest non-NATO ally. In fact, Iran immediately intervened, along with Turkey, and sent a message of support to Qatar. Qatar is a small country, but it possesses some of the world’s richest natural gas reserves. The most important point here is that the attack on Qatar also carries a threatening message directed at Turkey.
The Turkish Armed Forces, which have been based in Qatar since 2015, provide training and consulting services to the Qatari army at the base, which was renamed the Qatari-Turkish Combined Joint Force Command in 2017.
The cooperation expanded further in 2024 with the addition of air and naval units. According to a statement from the Ministry of National Defense, Turkey has deployed six F-16 fighter jets and two patrol ships to Qatar.
In other words, Qatar is practically the next stop before Turkey.
Media outlets in Israel have been talking about war with Turkey for some time now. The situation in Syria reveals its reality and its underlying foundation. Israel, of course, cannot openly engage in war with Turkey, but it will do everything in its power. May be Israel planning a new war on Cyprus. USA-Greece-Greek Cypriots on its side.
Also It could start a proxy war in Syria using the YPG Kurdish forces. As a terrorist and genocidal state, it could easily deploy its proxies in Turkey, such as ISIS and the PKK. This is exactly what I’m waiting for. ISIS sent its first message from Izmir. A 16-year-old psychopathic child raided a police station and killed two police officers. The PKK, on the other hand, is waiting for the negotiations to be overturned in the second peace process. They have made their preparations, armed themselves, and improved their skills in drone warfare.
Erdoğan’s coalition partner Devlet Bahçeli’s statement the other day strengthens the possibility that Turkey and Israel will soon fight in Syria.
The MHP leader said they cannot allow the YPG/SDF to “remain a security problem for Turkey.” US “Colonial Governor” Tom Barrack, however, rebuked Bahçeli, stating that the YPG are their allies and will have an autonomous structure in Syria.
Erdoğan has likely devised a political game plan, saying “if there is no peace, there will be war.”
Developments such as the continuous and rapid armament and the construction of shelters in 81 provinces indicate that we may soon enter a serious war. In such a situation, he believes the declaration of martial law (as if it doesn’t already exist) and the closure of the Y-CHP will be a tactic.
Israel, however, relies not only on the PKK and ISIS but also on the Greek Cypriot side. The news coming from the Greek Cypriot side are significant. It reported that Israel’s Barak MX air defense systems had been transferred from the port of Limassol. British bases in the Greek Cypriot side are already hosting Israel, and British spy planes are providing intelligence, along with the US, on Netanyahu’s genocide.
Netanyahu is deeply convinced that they will establish Erez Israel, or Greater Israel. This includes a Kurdistan established in Syria and Iraq, whose borders also encroach on Turkey and Iran. Bibi dreams of establishing a new hegemony in the Middle East with a Greater Israel and a Greater Kurdistan between the Euphrates and the Nile. That’s why he “managed” to attack six countries simultaneously in the last 10 days! The rest will surely follow.
Türkiye, on the other hand, seems to continue to seek help from its enemies (the US and the EU) and ignore its potential allies (Iran, for example). This will only make things worse, which are already going bad.

Fugitive Vaccine Researcher Behind ‘No Autism Link’ Study Arrested for Stealing $1 Million from CDC
Breitbart News has reported that Poul Thorsen, the Danish researcher whose work has been used for two decades to dismiss any link between vaccines and autism, has finally been arrested in Germany after more than a decade as a fugitive.
Thorsen, 64, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta in 2011 on 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors allege that from 2004 to 2010, he stole more than $1 million in CDC research funds—money intended to study autism, infant disabilities, genetic disorders, and fetal alcohol syndrome. According to the indictment, Thorsen funneled funds into his own accounts using fraudulent invoices on CDC letterhead.
He has been on the HHS “Most Wanted” list for over a decade. Acting on an INTERPOL red notice, German authorities finally took him into custody in June. The Department of Justice is now working with Germany to extradite him for trial in the United States.
Thorsen wasn’t just any researcher. He co-authored the infamous 2002 Danish study (published in NEJM) that became the CDC’s so-called “gold standard” for dismissing any link between vaccines and autism. That paper was cited by the National Academy of Medicine, weaponized to shut down more than 5,000 federal vaccine injury claims, and is still rolled out by officials today.
But the study itself was riddled with fatal flaws and fraud:
.
- Outdated autism rates that undercounted true prevalence, artificially muting signals.
- Diagnostic delay bias, since most unvaccinated children were too young to receive an autism diagnosis, suppressing their case counts.
- Overadjusted statistical models that diluted any association into noise.
- Immortal time bias and reclassification tricks that miscounted exposures and broke the basic rules of causality.
- CDC co-authorship and funding conflicts that were never properly disclosed.
That’s what makes Thorsen’s arrest so significant. The fact that a man now facing trial for embezzlement and fraud was central to one of the most influential vaccine safety studies ever conducted raises profound questions.
The very foundation of the “no autism link” narrative rests on research tainted by both criminal activity and scientific fraud.

California governor set to sign bill restricting teaching of Palestinian history in schools
Rights advocates are raising concerns over what they say could be a troubling precedent if a bill is signed restricting the teaching of Palestinian history in classrooms in California.
The bill, AB 715, was voted through in the state’s Democratic-majority senate and assembly late Friday night and is now set to be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Those opposing the measure have argued that it could stifle classroom discussions on Palestinians, Islamophobia and other sensitive topics; equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism; and make instructors vulnerable to complaints by imposing vague rules.
Over the last several months, it has faced strong opposition from more than 100 grassroots organisations, including the California Teachers Association, the California Faculty Association, California Federation of Teachers, Association of California School Administrators, California School Boards Association, California Nurses Association, and the American Civil Liberties Union. They have staged regular demonstrations at the state capitol in Sacramento.
Those supporting the bill include the Jewish Federation, the Jewish Community Relations Council, Mosaic United and the Anti-Defamation League. Though they were far fewer, they were able to exert more influence.
“They’re passing anti-education bills. The organising around it has been strong. The entire education community is against it, but it was still passed,” Mirvette Judeh, chair of the Arab American Caucus of the California Democratic Party, told The New Arab.
“They’re not listening to voters. This is a bill that’s unconstitutional. Today it’s education about Palestinian history. Tomorrow it could be something else. To punish teachers to teach about genocide is absolutely insane,” she said.
“History is history. It has to be taught. If people were taught about this in school, the mass dehumanisation of Palestinians would not be happening. They’re taking our rights here at home. This is your America. Take it back,” said Judeh, herself a Palestinian American.
So far, the governor has not indicated whether he will sign the bill, and civil rights advocates that oppose it are hoping there’s still a chance he will not sign it.
“Lawmakers heard overwhelming opposition—8 to 1 from public commenters—and warnings from their own colleagues about the bill’s chilling effect on education. Yet they advanced it anyway,” Hussam Ayloush, CEO of the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a public statement.
“This is now Governor Newsom’s test. He can either side with educators, civil rights advocates, and students whose voices are at risk of being silenced—or he can greenlight censorship that will make classrooms less free and less inclusive,” Ayloush added.
If signed, which could happen as early as this week, the bill’s supporters hope that it could be a blueprint for other states to pass similar legislation. This bill comes four years after the introduction in grade schools of ethnic studies, which have included material on Palestine, leading to controversy and the introduction of AB 715.
In other news related to free speech, a new bill introduced in Congress by Representative Brian Mast of Florida would allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip immigrants of US citizenship if what they say is deemed to be terrorism. The move, which has been condemned by free speech advocates such as the ACLU, appears to be aimed at student activists.

Gaza Genocide Report Gives UN Right to Intervene Militarily to Stop Israel
A new comprehensive UN inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Ex-UN rapporteur and veteran international law expert Dr. Alfred de Zayas explains why that’s hugely important, and what the world can do about it (if it wants to).
Key Findings
Israel’s actions (killing, maiming, causing mental harm to Palestinians, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, taking measures to prevent births) check four of five of the 1948 Genocide Convention’s criteria for genocide, per the report.
Intent Proven
Crucially, de Zayas says, the inquiry shows “how the statements of Israeli political and military leaders prove the ‘intent’ (required in Art. II of the Convention) to destroy in whole or part the Palestinian population.”
The “extensive” report is proof “that Israel is waging war not only against the Palestinians in Gaza but against the UN Charter and international law in general,” according to the top legal observer.
West Complicit
“Governments that have provided military, economic, political, diplomatic and propagandistic support” are also accountable, de Zayas says. The US, UK, France and Germany “are all complicit in the genocide under Article III (e) of the Genocide Convention.”
UN’s Response Options
- recognition of Palestinian statehood (which alas, “will not save the lives of Palestinians”)
- Israel’s expulsion from the UN pursuant to Article 6 of the UN Charter (improbable given the need for Security Council and hence US approval)
- stripping Israeli diplomats of UN accreditation, as was done against South Africa in the 1970s during Apartheid. Crucially, this measure would not require Security Council backing
- the UN has the legal framework to intervene using the 2005 ‘Responsibility to Protect’ doctrine
- the General Assembly could adopt a ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution authorizing nations “to take military action” to stop the genocide, bypassing the Security Council veto
UN’s Last Chance to Save Its Credibility?
“If the United Nations fails” to take action, “it will lose the little authority and credibility it still has,” de Zayas summed up.

MAHA Report Shows High EMF Exposure More Than Triples Risk of Infant Neuro Delays
Environmental Health Trust
September 17, 2025
The MAHA Commission this week released its second official report, Make Our Children Healthy Again, outlining its strategies and recommendations to combat childhood chronic disease. The new report reflects Environmental Health Trust recommendations as summarized in its recent letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. urging synchronized, current research concerning wireless radiation exposure standards among the nation’s healthcare agencies and the Federal Communications Commission. We at EHT are greatly encouraged to see that electromagnetic radiation exposure has finally been raised as a cabinet-level priority in the new MAHA Commission report.
Specifically, the report states, “HHS, in partnership with other departments and Federal agencies, will undertake a study on electromagnetic radiation and health research to identify gaps in knowledge, including on new technologies, to ensure safety and efficacy.” The report also addresses the issue of screen time addiction, stating, “The Surgeon General will launch an education and awareness initiative on the effect of screens on children and the actions being taken by states to limit screen time at school.”
EHT congratulates the commission on prioritizing these issues that are so important to children’s health. Wireless radiation exposure and the linked harms related to screen addiction have been scientifically proven to present an unacceptable, negative environmental load to human beings.
EHT President Joe Sandri greeted the news enthusiastically: “This is a much needed leadership move by HHS to bring together the relevant federal agencies and departments to study health impacts from electromagnetic radiation. Other countries have long studied the biological and other impacts, and that is why their radiation exposure limits are often 10 times lower than the U.S. limits. This is a key step in convincing the industry to finally start competing on safety.”
