17:31 GMT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ABC News that he doesn’t rule out killing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

 

When asked about reports that US President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate Khamenei, Netanyahu said, “It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict.”

 

“The ‘forever war’ is what Iran wants, and they’re bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression, and we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil.”

 

Asked if West Jerusalem would indeed target the supreme leader, Netanyahu said that he was “doing what we need to do.”

 

16:24 GMT

US President Donald Trump stated at the G7 summit in Canada that he believes Iran wants to de-escalate the conflict with Israel, noting that Tehran is “not winning this war,” as quoted by CNN.

 

Speaking about the canceled US-Iran nuclear talks and their failure to produce an agreement, Trump claimed Tehran “should have done that before,” adding that both parties had 60 days to negotiate, “and on the 61st day, I said, ‘We don’t have a deal.’”

 

“They have to make a deal, and it’s painful for both parties, but I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late.”

 

Trump also refused to say what could prompt the US military to get involved in the conflict. “We’ve always supported Israel. We have for a long period of time, strongly, and Israel is doing very well right now,” he added.

 

16:22 GMT

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has subtly urged the US to intervene and negotiate a resolution to the ongoing hostilities between Tehran and West Jerusalem.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal. He is also a con man who has duped successive U.S. Presidents into fighting his own wars for almost three decades.By all indications, the purpose of Netanyahu's criminal attack on Iran—killing hundreds of innocent civilians,… pic.twitter.com/d1p6ZmSEEg

 

In an X post, the minister suggested that if US President Donald Trump is “genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential.”

 

“Israel must halt its aggression, and absent a total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue. It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That may pave the way for a return to diplomacy.”

 

15:36 GMT

Ruptly's office in Tehran has received a warning about an impending Israeli strike on the residential area where its office is located, the video agency's head has told RT.

 

The agency's employees are urgently being evacuated. There has been no contact with them since the message was received.

 

15:30 GMT

The Israeli military has bombed the offices of Iranian state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran. The moment of the strike was caught live.

 

According to the Times of Israel, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the area in Tehran where IRIB’s headquarters are based shortly before the strike. Defense Minister Israel Katz then said that the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear.”

Germany to enhance security at ‘Jewish sites’ – chancellor

 

Berlin is preparing for potential Iranian attacks, Friedrich Merz has said

 

Germany is preparing for potential Iranian attacks targeting the local Jewish community, Chancellor Friedrich Merz has told journalists before departing for the G7 summit in Canada. He also conveyed Berlin’s support for Israel, which has initiated a large-scale bombing campaign against Iran, sparking retaliation from Tehran.

 

Merz justified the Israeli strikes, stating that diplomatic efforts have not convinced Iran to abandon its “military nuclear program.” Tehran has repeatedly denied that it seeks to acquire nuclear weapons and maintains its nuclear program is civilian in nature.

 

On Friday, Israel launched a major bombing campaign targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as its top commanders and veteran nuclear scientists. West Jerusalem claimed the move was needed to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran responded with missile barrages targeting the Jewish state.

 

“We are making preparations here in Germany in case Iran targets Israeli or Jewish [sites],” Merz told journalists on Sunday. The chancellor also demanded Iran “immediately stop bombing civilian targets in Israel.” He did not make similar demands on West Jerusalem, arguing that “Israel has the right to defend its existence and security of its citizens.”

 

According to Merz, Israel had asked Germany to supply it with fire extinguishing equipment. The chancellor vowed to facilitate the delivery “immediately.”

 

On Saturday, France also announced it would boost security around Jewish and US sites. “Special” attention should be given to “all sites that could be targeted by terrorist or malicious acts by a foreign power,” Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said in a memo sent to regional security chiefs that was seen by AFP. The order covered “Israeli and US interests as well as… establishments in the Jewish community,” according to the news agency.

 

Israeli strikes have caused at least 406 deaths and 654 injuries in Iran as of Sunday, according to the group Human Rights Activists. According to Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom, Iranian strikes have killed a total of 13 people.

Kiev and London plotting ‘bloody provocations’ – Russian spy agency

 

The “terrorist tandem” is seeking to derail US-Russia efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, the SVR has warned

 

In a statement issued on Monday, the agency described growing coordination between Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) and its military intelligence (GUR) with British intelligence, which it said is due to Kiev’s “mounting battlefield setbacks and deepening moral exhaustion.”

 

Such sabotage operations typically follow a set pattern, the SVR said, with Britain planning and coordinating, and Ukrainian operatives carrying out the attacks. The report suggested that the same approach was used in recent railway sabotage in Russia’s Bryansk and Kursk Regions, which Moscow denounced as Ukrainian “terrorist attacks.” The incidents killed seven and injured over 120, including children. The agency also cited the June 1 Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian airbases as part of the same playbook.

 

The “Anglo-Ukrainian terrorist tandem” is now preparing more attacks, the SVR claimed, aiming to escalate the conflict, derail Moscow-Washington dialogue, and convince the White House to maintain large-scale military support for Kiev.

 

According to the agency, one such scenario involves a false flag Russian torpedo attack on a US Navy ship in the Baltic Sea. Ukraine has already supplied Soviet-made torpedoes to the UK, the SVR said. Some are meant to detonate at a “safe distance,” while one will be left unexploded “as evidence of Moscow’s malicious activity.” Ukrainian operatives, it added, are prepared to carry out the plan.

 

Another alleged scheme involves British, Ukrainian, and Northern European partners “accidentally” recovering Russian-made naval mines in the Baltic, supposedly placed to sabotage international maritime shipping routes.

 

“Kiev has become the perfect executor of vile provocations and terrorist acts for perfidious Albion [England],” the SVR concluded.

 

The agency’s chief, Sergey Naryshkin, has repeatedly warned of possible British provocations, saying the SVR is well aware of London’s covert hostile activities against Russia.

This fucking guy should go fight on the front lines himself

 

Mark Levin: “This is MAGA Foreign Policy”

 

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are together demonstrating how to deal with a genocidal terrorist regime, how to use diplomacy and military power, how to use Intel and special forces, how to use the media and public statements and more, to defeat the biggest terror-supporting regime on the planet.

 

It is and has been brilliant, and if all goes well, it will result in a transformed Middle East, an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and a world free of a nuclear terror regime. They are achieving what 47 years of prior policies have not. This is a very big deal! This is a real peace plan.

 

Yet the isolationists, such as “Chatsworth Qatarlson” (Tucker Carlson), are now turning on our president, as they’ve spent months demeaning Netanyahu. They prefer the likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who apparently is more MAGA (Make America Great Again) than Trump.

 

They wind up turning themselves into pretzels, actually characterizing the Iranian regime as oppressed and victimized. These reprobates have never been MAGA.

 

They have sought to hijack a movement they never created, claim to be its leaders and influencers and redefine it to accommodate their own perverse ideological views, to the extent they can rationally explain them. They have clung to a movement they do not support. Hence, their hesitation in supporting our ally Israel, or outright opposition to it, in its righteous war of survival against the Iranian terrorist regime, which benefits the entire West.

 

It is a regime that has killed and maimed Americans, sought to assassinate the American president, threatens Israel with nuclear annihilation, seeks to slaughter millions of Israelis, has spread death and mayhem in Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza and Iraq, and has aligned itself with Communist China, North Korea and Russia.

 

The isolationists tell us that to oppose this is to be a warmonger and anti-MAGA. Just close your eyes and cover your ears. They also don’t seem to care that they attract Marxists, Islamists and antisemites.

 

Some even openly promote and celebrate them. That’s not MAGA either. President Trump is a proud American patriot. He despises bigots. And he has done more than any president ever to fight antisemitism and anti-Americanism in our country. No, they’re not MAGA. But we’ve seen their likes before.

Doesn't this weaken US mainland defenses?

 

USS Nimitz Carrier Group On Way To MidEast As Iran Reportedly Seeks De-Escalation With Israel

 

Update(1026ET): Below is Fox News' chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin confirming a major breaking development:

 

CONFIRMED: The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group is on its way to the Middle East from the South China Sea, a U.S. official tells Fox News. The Nimitz was previously scheduled to replace the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group which has been deployed for several months, but is now heading to the Middle East ahead of schedule. The two will now be in the Middle East at the same time. The USS Nimitz is the oldest active aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, commissioned on May 3, 1975. Scheduled to be decommissioned in 2026, this is possibly its final sea voyage. This is a very significant symbolic deployment because it was deployed in 1980 and its helicopters that were part of the failed US effort known as Operation Eagle Claw to rescue the American hostages being held at the US Embassy in Tehran. The US has been in a shadow war against Iran ever since.

 

Soon after this reporting:

 

IRAN IS PREPARING FOR THE 'LARGEST AND MOST INTENSE MISSILE ATTACK IN HISTORY ON ISRAELI SOIL' -IRANIAN STATE MEDIA

 

This comes on the heels of reports that the US Embassy in Tel Aviv suffered "minor damage" from a nearby Iranian ballistic missile impact. And Reuters confirms:

Zelensky Pushes New Arms Package Discussion With Trump At G7

 

With things blowing up in the Middle East over the last four days, it's easy to forget that there's a whole war still raging with no end in sight in Eastern Europe, with the latest reports pointing to a continued Russian ground advance in eastern Ukraine.

 

High on the agenda on President Trump's schedule for the G7 Summit in Canada this week is a confirmed bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

 

The Ukrainian leader is expected to press for more weapons packages…

 

"Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said that he will discuss buying US weapons with Donald Trump at the G7 summit, but added that US military aid was not on the agenda," AFP reports.

 

"We are not talking to America today about new assistance. Indeed, one of the issues I will discuss with President Trump at the meeting is the defense package that Ukraine is ready to buy," Zelensky said,

 

It seems Zelensky is taking a bit of a 'humbler' approach, and is no longer framing statements as demands of free arms and ammo, as he has previously done on many occasions.

 

While the G7 is expected to issue a condemnation aimed at Russia on the Ukraine war, the questions of a potential statement on the Israel-Iran war is more open.

 

So far a draft statement calls for general de-escalation of the conflict:

 

Group of Seven leaders have a draft joint statement calling for deescalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, according to two sources and a draft seen by Reuters.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has not signed off on the draft however, the sources said. The draft commits to safeguarding market stability, including energy markets, and says Israel has the right to defend itself.

 

Safeguarding energy market stability? This as oil depots and energy points of export get bombed repeatedly by Israeli warplanes.

Abuse of office

 

Trump Mobile is live. $499 gold phones. $47.45 plans. Parade flopped. Business boomed. Presidency and profit now share the same desk.

 

The tanks rolled. The crowd didn’t. While the military parade limped through Pennsylvania Avenue with creaking armor and rows of empty folding chairs, something else launched with a lot more polish. Trump Mobile. A self-branded wireless service, complete with a $499 gold-colored smartphone and a $47.45 monthly plan, now sits at the center of the president’s second-term business push. The number isn’t random. It’s a nod to Trump’s return to power as the 47th president. The symbolism isn’t subtle. Neither is the strategy.

 

The phone, dubbed the T1, will be made in the United States. The call centers will be based in St. Louis. The plan includes unlimited texting to over 100 countries, roadside assistance, and even telemedicine access. It’s not just a phone. It’s a lifestyle package. And it’s being sold under the Trump name while he sits in the Oval Office.

 

This isn’t branding. It’s monetization in real time.

 

The Trump Organization says it’s licensing the name. The wireless service is technically operated by a third party. But the rollout happened at Trump Tower. The announcement came from Donald Trump Jr. The marketing leans hard into the presidency. The phone’s backplate features an etched American flag. The website launched the same day as the parade. The timing wasn’t a coincidence. It was choreography.

 

This isn’t the first time the Trump brand has expanded mid-presidency. Plates. Sheets. Watches. Even a Trump-branded cryptocurrency. But the phone service is different. It’s infrastructure. It’s recurring revenue. It’s a direct line into the pockets of conservative consumers who want to buy red, talk red, and stay red.

 

The conflicts of interest aren’t theoretical. Trump still holds significant control over the Trump Organization. The trust is managed by his sons. The profits flow back to the family. And now, with a second term underway, the lines between public office and private gain are thinner than ever.

 

The military parade was supposed to be the headline. Instead, it became a backdrop. The tanks were loud. The silence from the crowd was louder. Attendance was sparse. The optics were flat. But the business rollout? That had teeth. That had traction. That had a price tag.

 

The $47.45 monthly plan undercuts major carriers. It’s not the cheapest on the market, but it’s branded. It’s tribal. It’s designed to feel like a statement. And for many, it will be. The phone isn’t just a device. It’s a flag you carry in your pocket.

 

The presidency is now a platform. Not just for policy. For product. The parade may have stumbled, but the business marched forward.

Lacking private safe areas, Israelis find community and chaos in public shelters

 

With 56% of country’s homes unprotected, ballistic missile attacks from Iran are forcing many to seek safety in schools, train stations and public areas

 

In the minutes after Israel’s Home Front Command told Israelis to remain close to shelters early Monday morning, nearly 100 residents of the Rehavia neighborhood in Jerusalem trickled into a public shelter at the Evelina de Rothschild School. A series of classrooms and a computer lab for students during regular times, the protected space suddenly bustled with neighbors in pajamas, pets, sleeping bags, and people desperately staring at their phone screens for updates.

 

In one room, lights were dimmed as several parents tried to comfort young children, while in a larger room adjacent, a large screen broadcast news updates in Hebrew. A quiet hum was occasionally interrupted by the sounds of dogs barking or a bathroom door slamming.

 

In scenes across the country reminiscent of British citizens sheltering in Underground stations during Germany’s bombing blitz in 1940-41, Israelis are sheltering in public miklatim, or protected areas, seeking protection from ballistic missiles fired from Iran in retaliation for Israel’s preemptive attack on the country’s nuclear facilities.

 

While Israelis have had rockets fired at them from Hamas and Hezbollah for years, the reach and destructive power of Iran’s missiles have made virtually every place in the country a potential target, and residents are complaining that the current protected infrastructure isn’t enough.

 

Some 24 people have been killed and nearly 600 injured in 30 sites hit since around the country since the current round of violence began Friday, according to data from the Prime Minister’s Office. The majority of those killed were not in shelters when their homes were hit, according to the Home Front Command.

Israel embarks on plan to bring more than 100,000 Israelis stuck abroad safely home

 

El Al opens registration for stranded passengers to map return flights; Arkia creates flight schedule for Israelis to return from Athens, Larnaca, Rome, Paris and New York

 

Israel is gearing up to start operating special flight schedules to help bring home more than 100,000 of its citizens stranded abroad since the outbreak of intense hostilities with Iran early Friday.

 

El Al opened an online registration procedure for repatriation flights for its customers whose flights were canceled and have been stranded abroad since the closure of Israeli airspace early on Friday. Within less than two hours of opening the online form, more than 60,000 stranded passengers registered on the airline’s site, El Al said.

 

“At this time, El Al is formulating the list of destinations and the scope of flights that will be allowed to operate under this plan,” the company said. “The purpose of the registration is to map the location of our customers in the world, and accordingly build a flight schedule.”

 

“We emphasize that the order of registration on the site is not important since customers’ priority will be determined by their original flight date…and registration does not confirm flight placement,” the airline added.

 

The move came after Transportation Minister Miri Regev announced a national operation plan to safely return Israelis stuck abroad, while cautioning that it will take time. According to estimates and subject to the security situation, repatriation flights for Israelis stranded abroad won’t be launched before Thursday.

Scientists discover toxic 'forever chemicals' that can impact human FERTILITY in 98% of UK rivers

 

A chemical that could affect human reproduction has been found in major rivers across the UK.

 

Researchers analysed samples from 32 rivers across the UK's four nations and found traces of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in 31 of them.

 

TFA is a type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), a group of human-made chemicals used widely in consumer products that can take over a thousand years to break down.

 

This particular 'forever chemical' is thought to damage fertility and child development, and some experts want it to be classed as toxic for reproduction.

 

For the study, scientists sampled five rivers in Wales, three in Northern Ireland, 13 in Scotland and 11 in the north of England.

 

They found 98 per cent contained traces of TFA, with the highest concentration recorded on the River Kelvin in Glasgow.

 

This concentration – 78,464ng (nanograms) per litre – is the second highest TFA river contamination ever recorded globally.

 

The only river not to contain traces of the chemical was the River Ness, which flows from Loch Ness to the Moray Firth.

Trump Says ‘America First’ Means Whatever He Wants

 

Scherer asked about whether the move runs counter to “America First.”

 

“Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,” Trump said.

 

“For those people who say they want peace—you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon,” he added. “So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”

IAEA's Grossi disputes IDF claims on levels of destruction at Iranian nuclear sites

 

The IDF had said that it had succeeded in striking and destroying both the above ground and underground Natanz nuclear sites, including the crucial centrifuge fleet.

 

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi on Monday told the IAEA Board of Governors that Israel had failed to destroy Iran's uranium-enriching centrifuge fleet at an underground facility at Natanz.

 

He acknowledged that the IDF had succeeded in destroying the above-ground Natanz nuclear sites, damaging the electrical grid that runs the underground centrifuges, and causing contamination of the underground facility.

 

Responding, IDF sources said that they believe Grossi is wrong.

 

Previously, the IDF had said that it had succeeded in striking and destroying both the above-ground and underground Natanz nuclear sites, including the crucial centrifuge fleet.

 

Grossi: No additional damage at Natanz since Friday attack

Grossi told the Board, "There has been no additional damage at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant site since the Friday attack, which destroyed the above-ground part of the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant, one of the plants at which Iran was producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235."

Next, he stated, "Electricity infrastructure at the facility, which included an electrical sub-station, a main electric power supply building, and emergency power supply and back-up generators, was also destroyed."

 

"There has been no indication of a physical attack on the underground cascade hall containing part of the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant and the main Fuel Enrichment Plant. However, the loss of power to the cascade hall may have damaged the centrifuges there," he reported.

Moreover, he said, "The level of radioactivity outside the Natanz site has remained unchanged and at normal levels, indicating no external radiological impact to the population or the environment from this event."

 

In addition, Grossi said, "Within the Natanz facility, there is both radiological and chemical contamination. Considering the type of nuclear material at this facility, it is possible that Uranium isotopes contained in Uranium Hexafluoride, Uranyl Fluoride, and Hydrogen Fluoride are dispersed inside the facility."

Buffett just nuked bitcoin with one brutal analogy. Own all the crypto in the world? You’d still be broke. Own the farmland or apartments? You’re a trillionaire.

 

Warren Buffett didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to. He just laid it out, plain and brutal.

 

“If you told me you own all of the bitcoin in the world and you offered it to me for $25, I wouldn’t take it,” he said. “What would I do with it? I’d have to sell it back to you one way or another. It isn’t going to do anything.”

 

That wasn’t a jab. That was a demolition.

 

Buffett’s point wasn’t about price. It was about purpose. Bitcoin doesn’t produce. It doesn’t yield. It doesn’t feed anyone. It doesn’t house anyone. It just sits there, waiting for someone else to believe in it more than you did.

 

Now flip the script. Imagine owning 1% of all the farmland in the United States. Or 1% of every apartment building. That’s food. That’s shelter. That’s rent checks. That’s value that doesn’t vanish when the Wi-Fi cuts out.

 

Buffett said he’d write a $25 billion check for that farmland today. No hesitation. Because it produces. Because it’s real.

 

Bitcoin? He wouldn’t take it for free.

 

This isn’t about being old-fashioned. It’s about being grounded. Farmland grows crops. Apartments generate rent. Bitcoin generates… what, exactly?

 

He’s measuring output. He’s measuring utility. He’s measuring what happens when the music stops and the lights come on.

 

Bitcoin has surged over 120% in five years. That’s the headline. But behind the curtain, it’s still a speculative token with no yield, no dividends, no cash flow. Just hope.

 

Buffett’s analogy cuts through the noise. If you owned every bitcoin in existence, your net worth wouldn’t budge. Because bitcoin doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t produce. It doesn’t serve. It just exists.

 

That’s not wealth. That’s weight.

 

Meanwhile, farmland keeps feeding the world. Apartments keep housing families. And Buffett keeps betting on what works when the hype fades.

 

He’s not anti-tech. He’s pro-reality.

 

And reality doesn’t care how many hashtags you slap on a blockchain.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Blasts 'Disgusting' MAGA Hawks, Breaks Ranks Over Iran War

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is among the few MAGA voices in Congress who is breaking ranks and becoming vocal over what increasingly looks like inevitable American involvement in the Israel-Iran war which is currently spinning dangerously out of control.

 

We earlier detailed that it seems a majority in Congress are either content to let Israel keep pounding Iran as a matter of 'Israel's right to defend itself' or else are outright willing to join the conflict on some level. This as Washington is making moves in clear support of Israel. President Trump himself over the weekend told ABC "We're not involved in it. It's possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved."

 

Everyone is finding out who are real America First/MAGA and who were fake and just said it because it was popular. Unfortunately the list of fakes are becoming quite long and exposed themselves quickly. Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA. Wishing for murder of innocent people is disgusting.

 

We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them. And this one will quickly engulf the Middle East, BRICS, and NATO as countries are required to take a side. Real America First/MAGA wants world peace for all people and doesn’t want our military killed and forever injured physically and mentally. We love our U.S. military and love them helping to secure our borders and our cities for the defense of OUR PEOPLE AND OUR COUNTRY.

 

They are our friends, spouses, cousins, nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters. We have spent TRILLIONS in the Middle East and we have dealt with the aftermath of death, blown apart bodies, never ending suicides, and disabling PTSD.

German Commissioner Calls For Purge Of AfD Members From Police Ranks

 

The police commissioner of the German Bundestag, Uli Grötsch, has demanded that all members of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) be removed from the police service.

 

Despite holding an office meant to monitor misconduct and structural problems in the federal police, Grötsch, a Social Democratic Party (SPD) politician, used the platform to argue that AfD membership is incompatible with public service.

 

“AfD membership and work as a police officer are not compatible,” Grötsch told the Rheinische Post, referencing the controversial classification of the party as “definitely right-wing extremist” by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

 

“Membership with visible commitment to the AfD must result in removal from service. For me, commitment means openly campaigning for the party, running for the municipal or city council, or even for the Bundestag,” he added.

Twelve billion dollars in missiles vanish over Israel while Americans drown in medical debt

 

Twelve billion dollars. Gone. Not over a decade. Not over a year. In a single night.

 

That is what it cost when Israel launched roughly 1,000 American-built THAAD-class interceptors during a massive missile barrage. Each interceptor costs about $12.6 million. Multiply it out. That is $12.6 billion worth of high-tech weaponry evaporated in one evening.

 

Not a penny went to healthcare. Not a dime went to infrastructure. It all went into the sky.

 

THAAD stands for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. It is not a generic missile. It is one of the most advanced anti-missile systems ever produced. It uses radar to track threats and kinetic energy to destroy them in mid-flight. Each launch is a one-time event. No retrieval. No reuse. Just gone.

 

These are not theoretical numbers. These were real launches, real intercepts, real costs. Israel faced a heavy coordinated aerial attack and responded with a relentless wall of American-funded interceptors. Every single one was destroyed or spent.

 

The THAAD system was developed to protect American interests. It was meant to be a last line of defense against catastrophic attacks. But here it was, used at full capacity in a foreign conflict that the average American had no say in and no vote on. And it was your money that paid for it.

 

The United States provides Israel with about $3.8 billion per year in military assistance. But that figure is only the surface. There are emergency allocations, backdoor deals, and real-time logistical support that are never included in public summaries. This one night of warfare cost the U.S. taxpayer the equivalent of more than three full years of official aid.

 

Now look at what Israel provides its own citizens. Universal healthcare. It is guaranteed. Comprehensive. Funded and managed with national support. They do not go bankrupt after a car accident. They do not crowdsource insulin. They do not spend hours on hold with insurance companies that deny coverage after the fact.

 

Meanwhile, in the United States, over 25 million people have no health insurance. Tens of millions more carry insurance with deductibles so high it may as well not exist. Americans ration medication. They skip procedures. They delay care. Some die waiting.

 

But we had $12.6 billion available. Immediately. For missiles.

 

There was no debate. No vote. No prime-time speech. It happened automatically. That is how federal priorities work. You always find the money for what matters most.

 

And clearly, what matters most is not your healthcare. It is not your school. It is not your job or your future. It is missile defense for a foreign state with a stronger safety net than your own.

 

This is not about politics. This is about allocation. About clarity. About who gets what when the numbers come in and the clock starts ticking.

 

We know where the money went. And it did not come back.

Europe-wide takedown hits longest-standing dark web drug market

 

Administrator arrested in Spain; top vendors targeted in Sweden

 

Law enforcement authorities across Europe have dismantled ‘Archetyp Market’, the most enduring dark web marketplace, following a large-scale operation involving six countries, supported by Europol and Eurojust.

 

Between 11 and 13 June, a series of coordinated actions took place across Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Sweden, targeting the platform’s administrator, moderators, key vendors, and technical infrastructure. Around 300 officers were deployed to carry out enforcement actions and secure critical evidence.

 

Archetyp Market operated as a drug marketplace for over five years, amassing more than 600 000 users worldwide with a total transaction volume of at least EUR 250 million. With over 17 000 listings, it is one of the few darknet markets that allowed the sale of fentanyl and other highly potent synthetic opioids, contributing to the growing threat posed by these substances in Europe and beyond.

 

As a result of the action, the platform’s infrastructure in the Netherlands was taken offline and its administrator – a 30-year-old German national – was arrested in Barcelona, Spain. In parallel, measures were taken in Germany and Sweden against one moderator and six of the marketplace’s highest vendors, and assets worth EUR 7.8 million seized.

 

This operation led by the German authorities marks the end of a criminal service that enabled the anonymous trade in high volumes of illicit drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines, and synthetic opioids. The platform’s endurance, scale and reputation within the criminal community place it alongside now-defunct darknet markets such as Dream Market and Silk Road, both notorious for their role in facilitating online drug trafficking.

 

Europol’s Deputy Executive Director of Operations Jean-Philippe Lecouffe commented:

 

With this takedown, law enforcement has taken out one of the dark web’s longest-running drug markets, cutting off a major supply line for some of the world’s most dangerous substances. By dismantling its infrastructure and arresting its key players, we are sending a clear message: there is no safe haven for those who profit from harm.

 

The takedown follows years of intensive investigative work to map the platform’s technical architecture and identify the individuals behind it. By tracing financial flows, analysing digital forensic evidence, and working closely with partners on the ground, authorities were able to deliver a decisive blow to one of the most prolific drug markets on the dark web.
