Pentagon investigates itself, finds it did nothing wrong
Nobody will be held accountable for an airstrike that killed up to 64 civilians, a report states
An internal Pentagon investigation has found that a 2019 airstrike that killed up to 64 civilians in Syria did not violate US rules of engagement or the law of war, and was not carried out with “wanton disregard.” Some military officers considered the incident, which the Pentagon still maintains was necessary to take out ISIS fighters, a war crime.
On March 18, 2019, a US F-15E fighter jet dropped a bomb on “a large crowd of women and children huddled against a river bank” near the Syrian town of Baghuz and then proceeded to drop several more, killing survivors, according to a New York Times report published last November.
US Central Command admitted that the strike killed 80 people, of which only 16 were alleged Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorists. The military admitted to killing four civilians, but insisted that the remaining 60 may have been terrorists, as “women and children in the Islamic State sometimes took up arms.”

US aid to Ukraine looks ‘like money laundering scheme’ – Congresswoman
American aid to Kiev goes to NGOs run by “friends and families” of US politicians, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims
The financial support America provides to Ukraine looks very much “like money laundering schemes,” Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has told ‘The Truth With Lisa Boothe’ podcast on Monday. The money supposedly destined for Ukrainians ends up in the pockets of “non-profits and NGOs” that are often run by people close to the politicians in Washington, Greene has claimed.
“They want to get $40 billion to Ukraine and you have these $40 billion on top of the money that have already been given. That brings it to $53 billion. That is over two thirds of the State Department’s entire budget for the year,” the congresswoman said, referring to the latest aid package that is currently going through the US Senate.
According to Greene, the US officials are doing this to eventually fund the NGOs operated by “their families and friends.” “It is basically like money laundering schemes,” she said.
The congresswoman believes these funds should be spent to deal with issues inside the US instead, including homelessness or human trafficking, which, according to Greene, have reached “record-high” levels.

Twitter Loses Three More Top Executives Amid Elon Musk Buyout, Project Veritas Exposé
Three more top executives are out at Twitter amid Elon Musk’s bid to purchase the tech platform.
Bloomberg reported:
Twitter Inc. is losing three more senior employees, including two vice presidents, a reflection of the uncertainty inside the social media company as staffers wait for Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition to close.
Ilya Brown, a VP of product management; Katrina Lane, VP of Twitter Service; and Max Schmeiser, head of data science, are all leaving the company, according to internal memos described to Bloomberg. All three chose to exit on their own, according to the memos.
Last Thursday Twitter fired two senior executives amid Elon Musk’s buyout of the tech giant.
Bruce Falck, Twitter’s revenue and product lead and Twitter general manager, Kayvon Beykpour were fired.
One of the executives was on paternity leave when Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal told him he was fired.
Twitter is facing potentially devastating lawsuits for claiming less than 5% of its users were fake or bots in its filings with the SEC. To report lies to the SEC is enough to take down any company and cause it to go bankrupt. If investors make decisions based on a company’s financials, which they do, if found to be false, a company could be taken out.
The Twitter executives quit as Project Veritas released undercover video of a senior Twitter engineer lashing out at Elon Musk and admitting the tech giant doesn’t believe in free speech.
Elon Musk saw Project Veritas’ undercover video of the Twitter engineer bragging about censoring conservatives and discussing the internal revolt against Musk.
“Is this legit?” Musk said in a tweet responding to the undercover video.

Tory MP arrested on suspicion of rape and misconduct spanning seven years
The unnamed MP remains in custody and has been warned by whips to stay away from the Parliamentary estate after the arrest by the Met Police over alleged offences spanning seven years
A Tory MP has been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual offences spanning seven years.
The unnamed politician remains in custody relating to allegations of sexual offences between 2002 and 2009, Scotland Yard has confirmed.
The MP has been asked not to attend Parliament while the police probe is ongoing by Tory chief whip Chris Heaton Harris.
It is understood the Conservatives will not make a decision on whether the suspect has the whip suspended until after the investigation is concluded.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "In January 2020, the Met received a report relating to alleged sexual offences having been committed between 2002 and 2009.
"The offences are alleged to have occurred in London.
"An investigation is ongoing, led by officers from Central Specialist Crime."
Scotland Yard added the man "was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office. He remains in custody."
A Conservative whips office spokesperson said: "The Chief Whip has asked that the MP concerned does not attend the Parliamentary Estate while an investigation is ongoing.
"Until the conclusion of the investigation we will not be commenting further.”
The allegations emerged after a fresh wave of recriminations about allegations of abuse in Westminster.
Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan finally quit earlier this month after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008.
His departure triggers a by-election next month in his Wakefield seat.
Some 56 MPs have reportedly been referred to Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) over about 70 separate complaints, according to the Sunday Times.
