The Yemeni security services revealed they arrested several spies working for the US and Israel in recent days, SABA news agency reported on 6 May.

The security services announced that the spies were recruited to work on behalf of the US and Israel, noting that they belong to an intelligence entity called Force 400 led by a wanted spy, Ammar Afash.

The security services indicated that the arrested spies confessed to carrying out operations to monitor missile launch sites, drones, and the locations of Yemeni armed forces boats and to provide their coordinates to Force 400 for the purpose of targeting by US and UK warplanes.

Comment: Countries like Turkey and Iran seem to be slowly but surely routing Israel's nefarious influence, meanwhile, over in the West, politicians and institutions appear to be so overwhelmingly compromised, or brainwashed, that they're willing to sacrifice their homeland to further Tel Aviv's genocidal goals:

Israel carpet bombs Rafah after Hamas accepts ceasefire proposal, key border crossing with Egypt seized

An Israeli official said on 7 May that Tel Aviv is carrying out a "limited" operation in Rafah after Israel announced taking control of the southernmost city's border crossing with Egypt.

This is a "limited operation," the official told the Times of Israel. "It is being implemented to pressure Hamas" into accepting a ceasefire proposal.

CNN also cited a source saying that the "limited Israeli operation into Rafah is intended to keep pressure on Hamas to agree to a deal."


Comment: Is this 'limited operation', apparently consisting of cowardly airstrikes, because even Israeli officials have admitted that, after their failed ground invasion in Gaza, to attempt the same in Rafah would likely be a 'disaster' for the IDF?


Comment: Footage of the beginning of the carpet bombing; a map of the region; the protests in the West and the intentional, disproportionate use of force by the police:

Why Israel is the one thing you can't protest against in Western universities

The crackdown on pro-Palestine campus protests might just make college kids hate the establishment again.

The American university crowd didn't seem to mind too much when the state was ushering in authoritarian green policies under the dodgy pretext of reducing the temperature of the planet. Or when campuses were banning right-wing speakers. Or when everyone was being forced to comply with their 'revolution' over personal pronoun usage. Or when unvaccinated fellow students were being banned from campus during the Covid-19 fiasco. But now that the Western establishment, from North America to Europe, is cracking down on campus protesters demonstrating against Israel's ongoing bombing of Gaza civilians, they're suddenly wondering where all their rights went.

If those who are now upset with the campus crackdowns had bothered to help expand the Overton window - that is, the range of acceptable speech and debate - back when others with whom they disagreed were trying to pry it open as widely as possible, they'd be reaping the benefits of true free speech now. Instead, the establishment has enjoyed a culture of impunity, enabled by the woke crowd and its constant demands for safe spaces. And now the government and universities have unilaterally decided that it's Israel that needs a safe space and protection from college kids.

Vladimir Putin to take his fifth presidential oath

MOSCOW, May 7. /TASS/. Vladimir Putin will be sworn in as the Russian president for the fifth time during a ceremony to begin in the Kremlin at noon Moscow time on Tuesday, May 7.

The word 'inauguration' derives from the Latin 'inauguro', which means 'I devote' or "I dedicate'. This ceremony will be held for the eighth time in the contemporary history of Russia.

Comment: Since 2018 we had COVID19 lockdowns and in some countries very aggressive injection campaigns. Then came intensification of the proxy conflict in Ukraine, between Russia and NATO, that began in 2014.

Since 2018, the US has experienced increased authoritarianism and inner turmoil, the EU has been weakened, while the Global South is now more united and BRICS has expanded. Now we witness the conflict and killings in Gaza with US support. At the same time, the threat of a more active engagement from NATO in Ukraine has become more likely.

The reader can add or modify these observations, but it is safe to claim that the current world situation is more chaotic than what surrounded us in 2018. There are challenges ahead for the World and for humanity during the renewed term of the Russian President, and Vladimir Putin knows that, even if his focus is on Russia.

DOJ admits to tampering with evidence in Trump classified docs case

"Stunning on multiple levels":

Special Counsel Jack Smith's team admitted on Friday that key evidence in Trump's classified documents case was altered or manipulated - leaving two different chronologies; one that was digitally scanned vs. what's in the actual boxes.

Smith also misled the court, after originally telling U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the boxes remained "in their original, intact form as seized," when in a footnote they conceded that they removed classified documents and left placeholder sheets, which prosecutors acknowledged has created an "inconsistent" record - in which some of the documents are no longer in the same order as they appear in digital scans made in the fall of 2022.

"The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court," the footnote reads, according to Just the News.

Token gesture: Biden puts hold on approved shipments of ammo to Israel

U.S. President Joe Biden and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
The Biden administration has halted a shipment of ammunition previously approved to aid Israel in its war efforts with Hamas.

This suspension of munition delivery is the first of its kind since the beginning of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas last October, when Hamas attacked Israel, murdering 1,200, and Israel launched a full-scale retaliation. According to two Israeli officials who spoke to Axios, the ammunition shipment was stopped last week.

The White House has yet to officially comment on the decision.

In April, Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic representatives issued a signed letter that called on Biden to halt the sale of weapons to Israel, even as they encourage munitions to be sent to Ukraine. The lawmakers called it "unjustifiable" to approve weapons transfers to Israel after an Israeli airstrike that inadvertently killed several humanitarian workers

Comment: Biden's floundering campaign is uppermost in the minds of his handlers. Given the unrest across US. campuses over the Palestinian genocide, it seems that he's been advised to throw them a bone.

Empire lackey: Czech government wants to ban Russian diplomats from traveling across the bloc

Many Russian diplomats are "spies," Prague believes, according to news outlet Der Spiegel

Russian diplomats should be confined to their destination countries within the EU and not allowed to move freely around the bloc, the Czech government has argued, according to Der Spiegel. Prague regards Moscow's diplomatic staff as "spies" probing for potential weaknesses in the bloc, the German outlet reported on Saturday, citing official documents.

The Czech authorities have been seeking to restrict freedom of movement for Russian diplomats since at least last summer, the article claims. The nation's foreign minister, Jan Lipavsky, reportedly revisited the issue last month during an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg.

"Espionage and propaganda are the main tasks of many Russian diplomats in the EU," according to a document presented by Prague earlier the same month in Brussels, according to Der Spiegel. The list of alleged activities of Russian diplomatic mission staffers reportedly includes "logistics for sabotage and acts of terrorism."

Comment: The Czech Republic is one of the Empire's chihuahuas; obnoxious, but easily disregarded.

Moscow ridicules Zelensky's claim about God and Ukraine

Such comments can only be described as a result of a "drug overdose," the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman said.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has apparently lost touch with reality, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested after the Ukrainian President described God as Kiev's "ally" in the conflict with Moscow.

On Sunday, as Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter, Zelensky issued a video address in which he accused Moscow of "violating all the commandments," claiming that "God knows it."

"We believe [that] God ... wears a chevron with a Ukrainian flag on his shoulder," the president stated, referring to the higher power as Kiev's "ally," who would guarantee Ukraine victory in the ongoing standoff.

Zakharova ridiculed the statement, suggesting it was the result of a "drug overdose."

The Biden administration last week halted a shipment of US-made ammo that was slated to go to Israel — a decision that reportedly sent members of the Israeli government into a tizzy as they tried to figure out why the delivery has been withheld.

The move marks the first time since Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attack that the United States has hit the brakes on a weapons shipment to its longtime Middle East ally, according to Axios, which learned of the decision from two Israeli officials.

When questioned, a White House National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News that the administration has supported Israel since Hamas' assault, which left 1,200 Israelis dead.
"The United States has surged billions of dollars in security assistance to Israel since the October 7 attacks, passed the largest ever supplemental appropriation for emergency assistance to Israel, led an unprecedented coalition to defend Israel against Iranian attacks, and will continue to do what is necessary to ensure Israel can defend itself from the threats it faces."
Neither the Pentagon, the state department nor the Israeli Prime Minister's Office immediately responded to questions from Axios, the outlet said.

Georgia accuses Washington of trying to spark 'two revolutions'

Washington has backed two "revolution attempts" in Georgia over the past years, the nation's prime minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, said on Saturday. A successful coup would have turned the former Soviet state into another bridgehead used to open "the second front" against Moscow, he warned.

The statements came as Kobakhidze discussed the present American attitude toward recent developments in his nation with Derek Chollet, the counselor of the US State Department, the prime minister said on X (formerly Twitter). Washington's current rhetoric reminds him of previous "false" statements made by US officials that had already led to "violence," he added.
"Two revolution attempts of 2020-2023 [were] supported by the former US Ambassador and those carried out through NGOs financed from external sources. Had these attempts been successful, the second front line would have been opened in Georgia."
The prime minister did not specify which specific events he was referring to. Georgia has seen several waves of massive protests, in which demonstrators demanded the government's resignation or early elections, and eventually descended into violence.

Comment: 'Pledge allegiance to the fist of the United States of America.'
