In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Trump’s “verbal attacks against Iranian people are escalating in intensity and violence,” and may amount to “a threat of genocide,” Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard has warned.

"Who/what will stop this escalation which has only victims and losers, in the first place the people of Iran, Lebanon, Israel and the Gulf States?” Callamard asked.

17:12 GMT

Russia vetoed the UN resolution because it was “not able to support a text that would generate a dangerous precedent for international law,” Moscow’s permanent representative to the organization, Vassily Nebenzia, explained.

Russia called instead for a more “balanced” resolution, taking into account “the illegal and reckless acts by the US and Israel” that brought about the crisis in the first place., he said, adding that “our calls fell on deaf ears.”

The resolution’s call on member states to use force to reopen the strait, and other “confrontational elements,” have not disappeared from the text, Nebenzia pointed out.

16:42 GMT

Waltz went on to invoke the Bible, claiming that according to “the book I live by…God has provided a way out” for Iran. “Even now, on the heels of Holy Week,” he continued, “Iran can also choose to reverse its decision.” From Pete Hegseth to the military officers telling troops that the war will usher in the Biblical “rapture,” Waltz is the latest senior US official to describe the conflict in messianic terms.

Meanwhile, Trump’s secretary of state claims that Iran is run by “religious fanatic lunatics.”

16:34 GMT

Trump’s ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, got booed and heckled when he mentioned “President Trump’s peacekeeping.” Delegates watching shouted “war criminal” and “praise be to Allah,” a reference to Trump’s promise to unleash “hell” on Iranian infrastructure later on Tuesday.

16:26 GMT

At his press conference in Budapest, US Vice President Vance hinted that the US could intensify attacks on Iran if Tehran does not come to terms.

”The president of the United States is a man who recognizes leverage, that if the Iranians want to exact a certain amount of pain, the United States has the ability to exact much, much greater pain,” Vance claimed. “The president doesn’t want to do that. I don’t want to do that. That’s why we’re negotiating so aggressively. But fundamentally, the ball is in the Iranians' court.”

16:22 GMT

Iran has released French nationals Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris after reaching a deal with France. The couple had been held by Iran since 2022 on espionage charges, which France dismissed as unfounded.

In exchange, France released Mahdieh Esfandiari, who was detained by French authorities for allegedly promoting terrorism on social media. Paris also withdrew a legal complaint against Iran at the International Court of Justice.

16:17 GMT

The Iraqi group Kataib Hezbollah has announced that it would release US journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was abducted by the Iran-aligned militants in late March in Baghdad.

The group has demanded that the journalist leave Iraq immediately.

Police Kill Three Gunmen Outside Israeli Consulate.

Three gunmen engaged in a firefight with Turkish police and security officers outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul early Tuesday, with all three attackers being killed in the exchange. Two security officers were wounded as well. The attack occurred in the Besiktas District of Istanbul, where the consulate has been closed for at least two years and was reportedly unstaffed at the time.

Footage shared online shows a police officer drawing his weapon and taking cover as gunfire erupted. One individual was seen covered in blood during the chaotic scene.

Following the attack, the Turkish interior ministry revealed that the attackers had been identified and at least one had “ties to an organization that exploits religion.” Meanwhile, the Israeli foreign ministry confirmed it is examining reports of the incident and that the consulate was not staffed.

FBI’s New Political Pre-Crime Center Is Dedicated to "Hunting" Americans Opposed To MAGA

The Trump administration via the FBI is working tirelessly designate any ideology outside of the MAGA-sphere as "domestic terrorism", giving the green light to drastically expand illegal domestic surveillance and the targeting of political dissidents.

President Trump's budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.

The new center and funding boost represent the implementation of Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the sweeping federal order I’ve been covering since it was signed last September.

Though public opposition to ICE succeeded at forcing the administration to back down in Minnesota — even firing both Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino — the FBI is doubling down its domestic terrorism obsession.

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

“anti-Americanism,”

“anti-capitalism,”

“anti-Christianity,”

“support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”

“extremism on migration,”

extremism on “race,”

extremism on “gender,”

“Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”

Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and

Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

In other words, if your political views are practically anything other than MAGA, you’re on notice, courtesy of the FBI.

The new center combats these supposed threats “by integrating intelligence, operational support, and financial analysis,” the budget request says.

Its creation appears to be inspired by the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — an event that reportedly precipitated the formulation of NSPM-7 in the first place — according to the budget request, which alludes to “heinous assassinations” having “dramatically increased.”

The budget request also singles out social media as some kind of breeding ground for domestic terrorism, saying:

“Domestic terrorists exploit a variety of popular social media platforms, smaller websites with targeted audiences, and encrypted chat applications. They use these platforms to recruit new adherents, plan and rally support for in-person actions, and disseminate materials encouraging radicalization and mobilization to violence.”

Good thing millions of law-abiding Americans don’t use those!

THROWBACK: The 1976 BCG Origins of the Romney-Netanyahu Alliance Against America First

A decades-old partnership forged at the Boston Consulting Group reveals the deep-seated institutional ties that prioritize foreign interests over the American citizen.

The relationship between Benjamin Netanyahu and Mitt Romney represents more than mere diplomatic cooperation; it is a calculated alliance born in the corporate boardrooms of 1976.

According to a 2012 New York Times report, the two men first met as young corporate advisers at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). This shared history has evolved into a formidable political partnership that challenges the "America First" standard of national sovereignty.

The two young men had woefully little in common: one was a wealthy Mormon from Michigan, the other a middle-class Jew from Israel. But in 1976, the lives of Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu intersected, briefly but indelibly, in the 16th-floor offices of the Boston Consulting Group, where both had been recruited as corporate advisers.

During their time at BCG, Romney and Netanyahu developed a shorthand that has persisted for nearly half a century. Consequently, this personal bond has directly influenced U.S. foreign policy, often at the expense of American strategic independence.

We can almost speak in shorthand. … We share common experiences and have a perspective and underpinning which is similar. — Mitt Romney

While Romney left for Bain & Company, he maintained a significant link to Netanyahu, ensuring that their shared worldview remained intact throughout their respective rises to power.

Furthermore, this relationship underscores a broader critique of institutional corruption. The alignment of a wealthy Mormon from Michigan and a middle-class Jew from Israel is not merely a "bromance" but a reflection of their shared views on governing.

The relationship between Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Romney — nurtured over meals in Boston, New York and Jerusalem, strengthened by a network of mutual friends and heightened by their conservative ideologies — has resulted in an unusually frank exchange of advice and insights on topics like politics, economics and the Middle East.

Instead of putting America and its citizens first, Romney and Netanyahu’s long-standing partnership reveals a clear preference for globalist power structures that elevate foreign interests and group-based identity politics above the sovereignty and individual rights of the American people.

Kanye West Blocked from Travelling to UK Ahead of Planned Headline Set at London’s Wireless Festival

Kanye West’s permission to travel to the UK is no longer valid. The UK government blocked the rapper’s entry Tuesday following controversy over his planned headline set at this summer’s Wireless Festival in London.

The BBC reports the Home Office told the outlet the rapper made an application to travel to the UK 24-hours before via an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

According to the report, the government’s decision to refuse permission was made on the grounds his presence “would not be conducive to the public good.”

For almost half a decade, West has caused outrage for a string of antisemitic, racist and pro-Nazi comments.

The performer, who changed his name to Ye in 2021, was booked to perform in front of around 150,000 revelers over three nights, July 10-12, at the open-air festival in London’s Finsbury Park.

The disgraced 48-year-old hip-hop star had offered to meet members of the U.K.’s Jewish community and show he has changed since provoking outrage with past antisemitic statements and insults.

UPDATE: The BBC reports despite the UK cancellation, West will still be seen and heard elsewhere in coming weeks.

Several European dates on his official website include:

30 May, Istanbul: Ataturk Olympic Stadium

6 June, Arnhem: GelreDome

8 June, Arnhem: GelreDome

11 June, Marseille: Orange Vélodrome

18 July, Reggio Emilia: RCF Arena

30 July, Madrid: Riyadh Air Metropolitano

7 August, Algarve: Estádio Algarve

He’s also scheduled to play in New Delhi, India on 23 May.

France withdrew all of their gold from the Federal Reserve

French central bank nets €13bn by pulling gold out of US reserves

France’s central bank has sold off the last of the gold it held in the United States Federal Reserve and replaced it with higher quality bars in Paris, taking advantage of rising prices to make nearly €13 billion as it upgrades its holdings.

The Banque de France (BdF) announced last week that it generated a capital gain of €12.8 billion after upgrading 129 tonnes of gold – about 5 percent of France’s total reserves – between July 2025 and January 2026.

The gold was the last of the French reserves held in New York. It was replaced with the equivalent amount bought in Europe and held in Paris.

The BdF has been gradually replacing older, non‑standard gold with bars that meet ​modern international standards since 2005. It moved the majority of its gold reserves out of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England between 1963 and 1966.

Rather than refining and transporting the gold that remained in the US, the bank opted to sell it and purchase new, compliant bullion on the European market.

IDF admits Tehran synagogue was ‘collateral damage’ in strike on Iran commander

Army says it regrets damage to Rafi Niya synagogue; video from site shows rescuers handling what looks like book of Hebrew scripture found in the rubble

The Israel Defense Forces admitted it was behind a Tuesday strike that damaged a synagogue in Tehran, saying it was targeting a senior Iranian commander and that it regretted the “collateral damage” to the Jewish house of worship nearby.

According to Iranian media, heavy damage was caused to the Rafi Niya synagogue.

In response to a query by The Times of Israel, the IDF said that it struck a top commander from Khatam al-Anbiya, Iran’s military emergency command.

“Reports were received that a nearby synagogue was also damaged in the strike. The IDF regrets the collateral damage to the synagogue and emphasizes that the strike was directed at a senior military target within the regime’s armed forces,” the IDF said.

The army insisted that it took steps to “minimize the risk of harm to civilians” in the strike, “including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.”

Diana Panchenko: Exclusive! We have obtained a secret list of participants of the Bilderberg Club meeting, which will be held on April 9-12, 2026

The names on this list speak volumes.

Despite the fact that the media is replicating information that Donald Trump was not invited to the event, the meeting itself is taking place in Washington. It is attended by the US Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the US Army, the Director of the US Office of Science and Technology, and the US Trade Representative.

While the whole world is talking about the split of the West, the United States is hosting a meeting of all Western elites and is represented by leading people responsible for money, war and science.

While the whole world is talking about the split of the West, the United States is hosting a meeting of all Western elites and is represented by leading people responsible for money, war and science.

There is not a single representative of Ukraine at the meeting, but there is Hristya Freeland. Previously, she held the position of Special Representative for the Restoration/Reconstruction of Ukraine. She currently holds the position of Zelensky's economic development adviser.

About Ukraine without Ukraine. Ukraine is being discussed as an object, not as a subject of negotiations.

The representation of the Hoover Institution is disproportionately higher. Officially, the key focus of the Hoover Institution is "Confrontation and competition with China." That's what their website says.

Samuel Paparo, a four-star admiral in the U.S. Navy and commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, will also be at the meeting.

Admiral Paparo is one of the most experienced and influential American military leaders in the context of rivalry with China. He often makes statements about readiness for a high-intensity conflict in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Based on the analysis of the participants, it can be assumed that the focus and application of the efforts of Western elites are shifting from Europe and Ukraine to confrontation with China.

Up to EUR 50 000 for a passage to the UK: 19 suspected migrant smugglers arrested

Investigators estimate the smuggling network moving people from Vietnam to the UK via Belgium and France generated over EUR 50 million in turnover

On 30 March 2025, Europol supported an action day against criminal networks smuggling migrants from Vietnam to the European Union and the United Kingdom. Law enforcement authorities across Europe have intensified their efforts to disrupt migrant smuggling networks as part of a coordinated whole-route approach addressing every stage of the criminal business model.

Supported by Europol, recent operational activities have increased their focus on dismantling the full scale of connected international networks that profit from vulnerable migrants through dangerous journeys, debt bondage, and often, subsequent exploitation. These networks operate across continents, linking facilitators in countries of origin, transit hubs, and destination countries, while generating significant illicit profits.

Smuggled with lorries via the English Channel

A joint operation involving law enforcement authorities from Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom, supported by Europol and Eurojust, led to the dismantling of a Vietnamese criminal network smuggling migrants across the English Channel. The smugglers transported the migrants to the UK using lorries departing from ports in northern France and, to a lesser extent, small boats. During the action day, authorities targeted the network at multiple levels, arresting suspects responsible for accommodation, transportation, and financial coordination. Over 40 irregular migrants were discovered during the searches in France.

The action day led to:

19 arrests (16 in France, 3 in the UK)

20 locations searched (16 in France and 4 in the UK)

Seizures of 1 apartment, 10 vehicles, EUR 60 000 and GBP 2 500 in cash as well as identity and travel documents, over 25 phones and other electronic devices. Freezing of 1 bank account containing EUR 75 000.

Over EUR 1.6 million in criminal profits detected

The investigation revealed that migrants paid up to EUR 50 000 to reach the United Kingdom from Vietnam. The network organised over 200 transports from France to the United Kingdom, moving more than 1 000 migrants across the English Channel, with an estimated EUR 50 million in turnover. Financial investigations identified approximately EUR 1.6 million transferred from the United Kingdom to Vietnam. The main organiser of the network is believed to be an unidentified woman based in Vietnam, underlining the transnational structure of this and similar criminal networks and the need for continued cooperation along the entire smuggling route.

International baby trafficking syndicate charged in Indonesia

Indonesian police have charged 19 people over an international baby trafficking syndicate which allegedly sold babies, some as young as three months, to people in Singapore and across Indonesia.

A man and 18 women were charged with human trafficking during an appearance at the Bandung district court in West Java province on Tuesday.

They are accused of buying babies from new parents in Indonesia and selling them at a profit.

Police allege the syndicate started operating in 2023 and had sent at least 14 babies to Singapore.

According to authorities, other young children had been sold domestically, including to adoptive parents in Jakarta.

Police managed to rescue several infants held by the syndicate before they were sold.

The defendants, including accused ringleader Lie Siu Luan, were arrested last year after a parent reported an alleged baby kidnapping to police in West Java.

Police claim the person who reported the kidnapping had actually entered into an agreement with the syndicate but never got paid.

Investigators tracked down a suspect who allegedly confessed to having traded more than 24 infants, some as young as three months old.

The defendants allegedly played various roles, including finding the babies, caring for them and preparing identity documents and passports.

One of the women later told prosecutors she had procured 34 children for the group.

Under Indonesian law, they could face up to 15 years in prison if they are found guilty of the crime.

The babies were bought from people who did not want or could not afford to keep their babies.

Abortion is illegal in the Muslim-majority archipelago except in cases of rape or medical necessity.
