French opposition targeted in ‘lawfare’ police raids – presidential hopeful

Jordan Bardella has said “judicial proceedings herald the electoral calendar”

Police raided offices connected to France’s largest opposition party on Tuesday, National Rally (RN) leader and presidential hopeful Jordan Bardella has said, claiming the searches were politically timed as the country moves closer to election season.

The Euroskeptic and anti-immigration politician is widely seen as RN’s likely candidate to replace political heavyweight and long-time leader Marine Le Pen, who was barred from holding public office for five years after being convicted last March of allegedly misusing EU funds.

“Since early this morning, searches have been underway at the offices and private homes of communications service providers who have worked with us,” Bardella wrote on X on Tuesday, referring to media reports of a looming legal investigation into him over a job he held in the European Parliament “nearly 12 years ago.”

“As always, judicial proceedings herald the electoral calendar. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for, and we will demonstrate it,” he added.

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office is carrying out searches in France and other EU nations in relation to a probe into the suspected misuse of EU funds by the now-defunct Identity and Democracy group of MEPs, of which Bardella was a member, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday. Le Monde reported that coordinated raids were conducted across France, Spain, Italy, and Belgium as part of the investigation.

The group comprised lawmakers from multiple Euroskeptic parties, including RN, Italy’s right-wing League party, the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO), and Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD), but fell apart shortly before the June 2024 EU elections.

The investigation comes amid a surge in popularity for anti-establishment parties pursuing national interests across the bloc, as well as what such parties have described as a broader legal crackdown by Brussels on right-wing opposition groups.

Le Pen was considered a frontrunner for the 2027 French election when her conviction derailed her campaign. She has denied wrongdoing and called the case politically motivated, with a court expected to rule on her appeal and political future this summer.

In Germany, the AfD has regularly polled ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union after finishing second nationally with 20.8% of the vote in the 2025 federal election. However, the party has been stonewalled from coalition talks and government formation by an informal boycott from other parties.

Germany’s domestic intelligence agency classified the AfD as a “right-wing extremist” party in 2025. While a federal court temporarily blocked the spy agency from using the label, the Bavarian Administrative Court of Appeal recently rejected the party’s challenge.

In Austria, the FPO achieved a historic victory in the 2024 election with over 30% support, fueled by voter frustration, but was subsequently excluded from government formation by a mainstream coalition aimed at isolating the party.

One killed in car bombing in Israel

The blast took place on a busy street in Haifa, with the victim pronounced dead at the scene

A man has been killed in a car bomb blast in northern Israel on Tuesday, Israeli police have reported.

While police have attributed the blast to criminal activity, it occurred amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Continued fighting between the IDF and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon is threatening the ongoing US-Iran talks.

Israel’s national emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA), said medics were dispatched just before 4 PM local time after receiving reports of a vehicle explosion. The victim was found unconscious inside the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Video released by MDA shows firefighters hosing down the charred wreckage of the vehicle after the blast.

The victim was identified as Rabee Abu Haikal, who allegedly had ties to a local gang and a criminal record, according to the Times of Israel.

Buffett Delays Midyear Donation To Gates Foundation Amid Epstein Controversy

Warren Buffett has funneled roughly $48 billion into the Gates Foundation from 2006 to 2025, typically through annual midyear transfers of Berkshire Hathaway shares. However, this year, for the first time in two decades, Buffett is reportedly delaying his usual donation as he waits for the outcome of a review into the foundation's ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.

The delay comes as Buffett's relationship with Gates, a longtime friend, has reportedly become strained since the release of Justice Department files related to Epstein.

Buffett said in March that he had not spoken with Gates since the files were released and wanted to see what else emerged before making his annual giving decision.

WSJ noted:

Whatever decision Buffett makes, it isn't expected to affect his annual contributions to his family's foundations, including those run by his three children and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named after his first wife, according to the people familiar with the matter.

This year, a series of DoJ documents sparked scrutiny of Gates's ties to Epstein. He recently appeared at a congressional hearing and said that his meetings with Epstein were "a grave error in judgment."

WSJ recently reported that the Gates Foundation slashed 500 jobs, or about 20% of its staff, as the left-wing NGO has come under fire for Gates' ties to Epstein. Back in February, Gates pulled out as a keynote speaker at a high-profile global AI summit in India.

The Gates Foundation CEO recently told employees during a town hall event that the Gates-Epstein relationship had deeply tarnished the nonprofit's reputation, according to a Financial Times report.

But it is not just the Gates-Epstein ties that Buffett should be concerned about. Late last year, the Gates Foundation had to publicly sever ties with philanthropic adviser Arabella Advisors, which engineered a sprawling "dark money" network of nonprofit entities, including the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, and Windward Fund, that continues to wage color-revolution-style operations against President Trump.

All in all, it is not looking great for the Gates Foundation.

Here We Go Again: Taiwan Raids Super Micro In AI Chip Probe

Taiwan has intensified its efforts to stop advanced AI hardware from reaching China, carrying out raids at the local offices of Super Micro Computer and several businesses connected to an investigation into the movement of servers equipped with NVIDIA chips, according to Bloomberg.

Investigators searched multiple business locations and the homes of six individuals as part of the inquiry. While prosecutors did not publicly identify those involved, a source familiar with the matter said Super Micro's Taiwan office was among the locations searched. The company said it is fully cooperating with investigators and emphasized that it works to safeguard its technology and ensure its products are sold in compliance with applicable laws. Shares fell about 8% following the announcement.

Bloomberg writes that the probe also reached Chief Telecom and Albatron Technology. Both companies acknowledged the searches, saying day-to-day operations were unaffected, although Albatron's shares dropped sharply.

The case marks another step in Taiwan's broader campaign to prevent restricted AI technology from being diverted to China. Earlier this year, authorities arrested three suspects accused of using fraudulent export paperwork involving Super Micro servers loaded with Nvidia AI processors. Officials believe at least one shipment ultimately made its way to China through Japan, while dozens of additional servers were intercepted before they could leave Taiwan.

Taiwan currently lacks a law that specifically criminalizes exporting AI chips to China, limiting prosecutors to pursuing related offenses such as document fraud. Lawmakers are now considering tougher export rules that would make such shipments illegal and give authorities stronger enforcement powers as Taiwan moves to more closely mirror U.S. restrictions on advanced semiconductor technology.

The latest developments also add to the uncertainty surrounding Super Micro.

Ever since Hindenburg Research published its report less than two years ago, "Super Micro: Fresh Evidence Of Accounting Manipulation, Sibling Self-Dealing And Sanctions Evasion At This AI High Flyer," the company has struggled to shake a steady stream of damaging headlines.

The short seller accused Super Micro of accounting irregularities, undisclosed related-party transactions involving family members, export control concerns, and other governance failures, allegations the company has disputed.

Since then, Super Micro has faced delayed financial filings, scrutiny from regulators and most recently one of its co-founders charged in a scheme to divert roughly $2.5 billion in advanced Nvidia chips to China, according to an indictment unsealed earlier this year.

Wave Of Cybertruck Owners Report "Zero Ability To Charge" As Power Conversion System Nightmare Deepens

For months, several auto news outlets and EV forums and auto-focused YouTubers have been tracking what some are calling a "hidden time bomb" inside Tesla's Cybertruck: a growing number of owner complaints linked to Power Conversion System failures.

The PCS failure, according to those reports, can paralyze charging and key electrical functions, in some cases leaving the roughly 7,000-pound stainless truck immobilized until service or replacement parts are available.

"Tesla is risking a backlash from Cybertruck owners affected by Power Conversion System (PCS) failures. This prevents trucks from using Level 2 (AC) charging. While Tesla is aware of these issues, it has only offered a fix on a case-by-case basis rather than issuing a recall to replace the faulty parts across the fleet," Autoevolution wrote in a report.

Here's where things get weird. The report continued:

Tesla fans are always happy that the EV maker has far fewer recalls than other carmakers. On the other hand, critics point out that Tesla prefers to deal with failures quietly by forcing owners to sign NDAs. This makes it appear that Tesla EVs have fewer problems than other car models. It also allows Tesla to address failures without notifying the NHTSA and issuing a recall.

For Cybertruck owners, this approach has become increasingly obvious during the past months. An unusually large number of Cybertruck owners have been affected by a wave of PCS failures that can prevent the truck from charging via AC. This negates one of the most important advantages of an EV: cheap overnight charging at home. The good news is that, in most cases, DC charging remains available.

Another report suggests that early 2024 and 2025 Foundation Series trucks are the most discussed, and there is concern that repairs could become expensive once the basic 4-year/50,000-mile warranty expires.

Lead Defendant and 10 Others Plead Guilty in $65 Million Multinational Fraud Ring Targeting Thousands of Seniors

SAN DIEGO – Hua Wang pleaded guilty in federal court today, admitting his involvement in a $65 million multinational fraud and money laundering scheme targeting elderly victims across the United States, including in San Diego. Videos by YouTubers from Scammer Payback and Trilogy Media helped law enforcement identify multiple defendants and uncover the structure of the fraud conspiracy.

Wang, shown below, is the lead defendant charged in the scheme. In April 2025, Wang was arrested at his residence in Flushing, New York just days after his co-defendant, Weining Su, aka “Ning Ma,” was arrested at JFK International Airport attempting to board a one-way flight to China.

Following Wang’s arrest, in August 2025, federal agents coordinated a sweeping nationwide takedown of the investigation, including arrests in Southern California, Texas, Michigan and New York. To date, more than 30 defendants have been publicly charged in related indictments.

In addition to Wang, over the past two months, nine co-conspirators, Xiao Lei Xu, Wen Chang Wang, aka “Cookies,” Jiawen Cai, aka “Johnny Cai,” Zhuhan Yin, Wenzhi Chen, Yuhui Sun, Jiaxin Jiang, Bing Shen and Chongchong Li, have also pleaded guilty in federal court and admitted their roles in the same scheme. Other defendants are scheduled to plead guilty later this month. Defendants Wen Chang Wang, Jiawen Cai, Zhuhan Yin, Yuhui Sun, Bing Shen and Chongchong Li are Chinese nationals.

Operating since at least 2019 and rooted in Southern California, the criminal network—primarily composed of Chinese nationals, many in the U.S. illegally—worked closely with India-based scam call centers. Fraudsters who took the calls posed as technical support agents, government officials, or bank employees, according to court records. Once a victim had been defrauded, victims were instructed to withdraw bulk cash, to conceal the cash in packages, and to send cash-laden packages via express mail carriers to names and addresses provided by the conspirators. The recipient names were fictitious names corresponding with fake IDs. The recipient addresses were for the short-term rental locations.

In their respective plea agreements, each defendant admitted that to facilitate receipt of victim packages, members of the conspiracy booked short-term rentals in a hub-and-spoke pattern: a hub would be booked for approximately one week; spoke locations would be booked nearby for shorter stays. After some time, members of the conspiracy would relocate to a new location and continue the pattern.

The investigation started in December 2020 after an elderly victim contacted an express mail carrier after being defrauded into sending bulk cash in the mail. That led to the discovery of 11 total packages, containing approximately $135,000 in cash. Each of the packages was addressed to a fake name and a short-term rental in the San Diego area.

Former DeSoto County Elementary Teacher Sentenced for Possession of Child Exploitation Materials

ABERDEEN, MS – An Olive Branch, Mississippi man was sentenced today to nine years in prison for possessing images and videos of children under 12 engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Prior to his arrest, he was an elementary school teacher.

According to court documents, Mitchell Cantrell, 37, was downloading and viewing child sexual abuse content from the internet. The content found on his electronic devices included sexual materials involving preteens, toddlers, and infants. The Southaven Police Department identified and investigated this case and worked with the United States Attorney’s Office to prosecute Cantrell.

In addition to his prison term, Cantrell was sentenced to ten years of supervised release and must register as a sex offender where he lives, where he works, and where he is a student.

Scott Leary, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi stated, “As Americans we are unfortunately divided on so many issues. There are, however, certain issues upon which we should all agree. Foremost is society’s responsibility to protect children. There is simply no room for child exploitation in our country. I thank the citizens of this great state for standing with federal and state law enforcement in combating these crimes. With the advent of advanced technology, investigating child exploitation is becoming more complex – we must remain vigilant. We should all be proud of the great job the Southaven Police Department did in investigating this case. The Project Safe Childhood initiative is working; federal and state law enforcement are working together to protect our kids. Perhaps one day we can stamp out this scourge.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Parker S. King prosecuted the case as part of Project Safe Childhood.

Goliath Ventures CEO Pleads Guilty to Cryptocurrency Fraud Scheme Conspiracy

Orlando, Florida – Christopher Alexander Delgado (34, Apopka) pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for each fraud count and up to 10 years’ imprisonment for the money laundering count. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 8,2026. United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement.

“Delgado provided fraudulent information to solicit investor funds and then spent his ill-gotten gains on his extravagant lifestyle,” stated U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe. “Our office remains committed to working with our law enforcement partners to investigate and disrupt fraud schemes and prosecute fraudsters who steal investors’ hard-earned savings. We will also continue to work with investigators to locate and seize assets traceable to Delgado’s scheme.”

According to the plea agreement and other court documents, Delgado was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Goliath Ventures (“Goliath”), formerly known as Gen-Z Venture Firm. From at least January 2023 through at least January 2026, Delgado and his co-conspirators operated Goliath as a “Ponzi scheme,” which is a form of investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Delgado’s scheme involved soliciting victims to invest substantial sums of money under false and fraudulent promises of monthly returns generated through cryptocurrency “liquidity pools.” Victims were induced to give money to Goliath through personal referrals, professional marketing materials, luxury events, charitable sponsorships, and some monthly payments of purported returns, all of which were designed to establish Goliath’s bona fides with investors. As reflected in a companion civil asset forfeiture action, the United States has identified at least $400 million paid by investors to Goliath.

Although Goliath represented that it would place the victim investors’ funds in cryptocurrency liquidity pools, in reality, the funds were primarily used to pay purported returns to earlier investors, to return principal to investors who requested it, and for Goliath’s extravagant business gatherings, holiday parties, luxury travel accommodations, and to fund Delgado’s and other Goliath employees’ luxury lifestyles. With victim investors’ funds, Delgado purchased at least six residential properties, each worth between $1.15 million and $8.5 million, and millions of dollars’ worth of high-end vehicles, watches, and jewelry, including Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Rolex watches, several dozen Louis Vuitton bags, wallets, luggage, and custom Tiffany jewelry. In the plea agreement, Delgado has admitted to causing a minimum of $250 million in losses to investors.

Delgado has agreed to forfeit 8 real properties, 11 vehicles, 30 watches, more than 50 luxury bags and wallets, and at least 29 pieces of high-end jewelry which were purchased with or are traceable to proceeds of the offense. He has also agreed to forfeit several bank and cryptocurrency accounts which were seized by the United States.

Former N. Charleston Councilmen, Co-conspirators Sentenced in Public Corruption Scheme

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Four more defendants charged in a North Charleston public corruption scheme have been sentenced.

Jerome Sydney Heyward, 63, a former North Charleston City Councilmember, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for extortion, bribery, and money laundering.

Mike A. Brown, 47, former North Charleston City Council Member, has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for accepting a bribe from Aaron Hicks in exchange for his support of a rezoning application.

Michelle Stent-Hilton, 58, of North Charleston, and Donavan Laval Moten, 48, founder of Core4Success Foundation, were each sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for paying Heyward $20,000 kickbacks in exchange for his support of their applications for grant funds.

“These defendants, who broke the public trust, have been held accountable,” said U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling for the District of South Carolina. “Thank you to our law enforcement partners at the FBI and SLED for thoroughly investigating these instances of public corruption.”

“Public corruption undermines the trust that citizens place in people with power and tarnishes the goodwill of those who use their positions to act in good faith,” said FBI Columbia Special Agent in Charge Kevin Moore. “The FBI and our partners are committed to rooting out public corruption and bringing accountability to the bodies of government and organizations meant to serve the people.”

“Pay to play politics is an egregious abuse of the public’s trust,” said SLED Chief Mark Keel. “Elected officials should be serving the community – not lining their own pockets. SLED is proud to work together with our state and federal partners to bring those who unlawfully profit off their positions to justice.”

Heyward was charged in three separate schemes with corruptly using his position as a North Charleston City Councilman to personally enrich himself through bribes, kickbacks, and extortion and to deprive the citizens and the government of North Charleston of their intangible right to the honest services of the North Charleston City Council. In the first scheme, Heyward extorted a businessman by soliciting payments in exchange for his official action as a City Councilman. In the second scheme, Heyward conspired with Mike A. Brown and Aaron Hicks to solicit and accept bribes from Aaron Hicks—working on behalf of a company with business before North Charleston City Council—in exchange for his support of the rezoning of the Baker Hospital site. In the third scheme, Heyward conspired with Donavan Moten and Michelle Stent-Hilton to embezzle taxpayer funds from North Charleston. Heyward agreed to support Moten and Stent-Hilton’s applications, submitted on behalf of their non-profits, for violence reduction grants. In exchange, Moten and Stent-Hilton each agreed to pay Heyward $20,000. Thereafter, Heyward conspired with Rose Lorenzo to launder the funds to conceal the nature and source of the kickbacks.

Previously, co-defendants Aaron Charles-Lee Hicks and Hason Fields were sentenced. Rose Lorenzo pleaded guilty for her role in the conspiracy, and her sentencing will be scheduled at a future date.

United States District Judge Richard M. Gergel sentenced Heyward to 72 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. There is no parole in the federal system. He was ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution.

7 Charged in $550K SCDC Bribery Scheme

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A federal grand jury in Columbia returned a nine-count indictment, presented by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, charging two people in a $550,000 bribery scheme involving an SCDC corrections officer and two SCDC inmates and their family members and acquaintances. Five others have waived indictment and agreed to plead guilty to their roles in the in the scheme.

The following individuals were charged in the Indictment:

Miles Guo Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For Leading Billion-Dollar Fraud

Attorney for the United States, Sean S. Buckley, Acting under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, announced that MILES GUO, a/k/a “Ho Wan Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,” a/k/a “Boss,” was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres to 30 years in prison for racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering, among other charges, for leading an expansive and complex scheme to solicit more than $1 billion of investments in various entities and programs through false statements and misrepresentations to thousands of GUO’s online followers. On July 16, 2024, GUO was convicted following a seven-week jury trial.

“Miles Guo led a massive scheme to steal more than $1 billion through lies and deception from thousands of Americans and victims around the world,” said Attorney for the United States Sean S. Buckley. “After immigrating to this country, rather than being satisfied with the many legitimate opportunities afforded to him, Guo exploited the trust that thousands had placed in him for his own greed. This sentence shows that fame and wealth do not place you above the law, and that fraudsters who victimize families to enrich themselves will be met with significant consequences.”

According to the charging documents, public court filings, statements made in court, and evidence admitted at GUO’s trial:

GUO’s schemes began when he announced the founding in 2018 of purported charitable organizations—the Rule of Law Foundation and Rule of Law Society—by falsely promising potential donors that he was contributing the first $100 million to their cause. Trading on the Rule of Law groups’ purported charitable works, GUO launched an unregistered offering of stock in his media venture, GTV.

When the GTV stock offering came under scrutiny by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, GUO and his co-conspirators turned to other schemes. GUO obtained another $100 million through a program in which victims were told they could lend money to networks of GUO’s supporters and receive GTV stock in addition to interest payments. At around the same time, GUO raised at least approximately $240 million by selling memberships in G|CLUBS, a purported membership club that promised GTV stock in exchange for members’ dues and offered little to no other material benefits. In a 2021 broadcast on GTV, GUO launched the Himalaya Exchange, a purported cryptocurrency ecosystem where people could trade “H Coin” and “H Dollar,” which were phony digital assets that were fraudulently described as blockchain-native cryptocurrencies but were in fact little more than made-up figures on an internal company spreadsheet.

Palestinians Are Being Denied Return to West Bank Refugee Camps After Israel Bulldozed Their Homes

In Jenin, Israel is building the first permanent military base in Area A since the Oslo Accords in the 1990s.

It took Omar Qalib more than a decade to finish his family’s three-story house in Jouret al-Dahab, a neighborhood in the heart of the Jenin refugee camp. A construction worker, he built it himself, brick by brick. But it was worth it, he thought. The property fell within Area A, a zone within the occupied West Bank where the Palestinian Authority nominally controls both civil and security affairs.

But in January 2025, Qalib was forced from his home, along with tens of thousands of other Palestinians, as Israel launched a large-scale military operation dubbed “Iron Wall” targeting refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams. More than 30,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes over the ensuing months, in the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank in a single operation since the 1967 war.

After invading and occupying the camps in February 2025, the Israeli military campaign flattened entire neighborhoods, turning them into wastelands. Where narrow alleys once ran between tall buildings so close they blocked the light, wide dirt roads now cut through the heart of the camps, carved out by Israeli military bulldozers.

As part of the campaign, the camps have been cordoned off. Just to see what’s left of his home, Qalib needs a permit from the Israeli military. Few Palestinians are able to obtain them. And the permits only grant one-time, temporary access. Two weeks ago, Qalib was one of the lucky few who obtained a permit to visit his destroyed home.

“The house is gone,” said Qalib “My house and my son’s house. A whole life of work, gone.”

Qalib, 56, now shares two rooms with his wife, two adult sons and their families, packed together in a dormitory connected to the Arab American university in the city of Jenin. “I had a whole family in that house,” he said. “Now we are all in two rooms waiting for something we don’t know when will end.”

Every morning Qalib heads out looking for work as a day laborer, the principal breadwinner responsible for rent, food, electricity, water, and transportation costs for an entire household. Those costs have nearly doubled since they were displaced.

Both of Qalib’s sons were shot by Israeli soldiers during the military invasion of the camp. One was left half paralyzed, with damage to his kidney, spleen, and lung, and is unable to work. His other son recovered from his injuries and is able to physically work though he has been able to find a job since they left their home, nearly a year and a half ago.

Recently, some Palestinians have been granted limited access to enter their old neighborhoods, mainly to scavenge in their destroyed or heavily damaged homes for items they left behind. What they described to Drop Site are neighborhoods made unrecognizable: men who spent their lives in these alleys wander in the middle of emptied out dirt roads, looking for a mosque that used to mark the turn, the building that used to anchor their route. The landmarks are gone. Some cannot even locate where their own homes once stood.

Chilling effect. A million health workers at risk if they criticise Israel

The Australian regulator of health practitioners has been hijacked by a lobby group agitating on behalf of a foreign country adopting a controversial definition of antisemitism.

Two years ago, Australia’s medical regulator put its position in writing. It had not adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. It said so plainly.

On 5 March 2024, Kym Ayscough, the Executive Director of Regulatory Operations at Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA – a government agency), wrote to the Medical Association for Prevention of War. Reports were circulating that AHPRA had adopted the IHRA definition.

Ayscough was unambiguous. The agency had made no such commitment.

On 17 June 2026, it did.

And it did so not through a regulatory process, not through consultation with the professions it governs, but through a joint statement issued alongside Jillian Segal, the federal government’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism.

Sit with what that means. Segal occupies an office that did not exist until a Prime Minister created it. She stood for no election. She passed no confirmation. She holds no place on any medical board and answers to no professional body. She was appointed by one man, and she reports to him.

Yet, on 17 June, Segal’s handbook became a reference standard for the regulator that controls

whether a million Australians keep the right to work.

AHPRA overreach

Trace the line plainly. One politician created the office. One person fills it. That person’s document now guides how a statutory regulator reads the conduct of every doctor, nurse and pharmacist in the country. No parliament voted for it. No profession was asked.

The reach runs from a single appointment straight into the registration file of a paramedic in Townsville and a midwife in Perth, and not one of them was consulted along the way.

That is the part AHPRA cannot explain away.

A regulator that is meant to be fiercely independent did not reach this position through its own process. It announced it is standing beside a political appointee, adopting a political appointee’s handbook, on one of the most contested political questions on earth. The independence that gives a regulator its authority was handed across in a joint media release.

Nearly one million registered health practitioners woke up to a new political reality. They were not asked. They were not consulted.

Most did not know it had happened.

When Healthed – an education provider for general practitioners across the country – surveyed more than a thousand GPs on 23 June, 61% had no idea AHPRA had done it. Just 150 doctors knew. The rest were already living under a regulatory standard they had never heard of.

So what changed between March 2024 and June 2026? AHPRA has not said. It reversed a written position on one of the most contested definitions in public life and offered no account of who made the decision, what evidence was weighed, what legal advice was taken, or why the professions were bypassed.

The Federal Court has found pro-Israel activist Ofir Birenbaum breached the confidential settlement that resolved his high-profile defamation dispute with Sydney restaurant Cairo Takeaway after he and his solicitor made public statements portraying the outcome as a victory.

In a judgment delivered on Tuesday, Justice Bromwich declared that Birenbaum breached the settlement deed by publishing statements on social media and by statements made on his behalf by his solicitor, Rebekah Giles.

The court also found Birenbaum breached the deed after Giles told Sky News that Cairo Takeaway had paid him compensation.

The parties entered a settlement deed on 26 March 2026 and issued a joint statement on 30 March.

Highly misleading

However, Justice Bromwich found that “the Joint Statement was completely overwhelmed by public statements attributed to Mr Birenbaum and by Ms Giles, which cast a very different complexion on the nature of the resolution of the proceeding”.

The judge said that aspects of the public statements were “highly misleading and even deceptive” when compared with both the settlement deed and the agreed joint statement.

He found that the statements made by Birenbaum and Giles “in material ways misrepresent what has been agreed upon” in the settlement.

Stewart O’Connell, of O’Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors, which acted for Cairo Takeaway, said the judgment “highlighted the importance of compromised settlements to the administration of justice”.

“It was unfortunate that all the hard work that went into achieving a compromise in this matter was undone by people who wanted to spin that compromise into some kind of victory,” he said.

“Especially in circumstances where the ‘victory’ claimed was completely baseless. We hope this judgment results in the avoidance of such conduct in the future and a greater respect for the importance of compromised and reasonable settlements.”

Justice Bromwich said Birenbaum

“was not an impressive witness”.

“He would have had real difficulty in coping with protracted cross-examination, having a somewhat evasive and non-responsive manner. It was very much to his benefit that the trial is not proceeding such that cross-examination of that kind will not occur,” the judgment read.

The judge noted that if the case had gone to trial, “a competing characterisation … that Mr Birenbaum engaged in an act of unjustified provocation” would likely have been raised.

Remember when Trudeau used to be made to dress up by his Jew handlers?

Elon Musk just posted “AOC is an actor”

He’s 100% correct, and here’s the proof. AOC was chosen to be in Congress by a Democrat casting call. She’s a political actor that was picked out of 10,000 applicants

AOC’s brother submitted her application and she was chosen by the Executive Director of Justice Democrats Out Of 10,000 Candidates

It’s all on camera. There is even footage of AOC and Alexandra Rojas both confirming this on camera

“Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not really the congresswoman of New York’s 14th congressional district. She is essentially an actress. She’s merely playing the part of a New York congresswoman. I know this sounds crazy, but bear with me. In 2017, a group called the Justice Democrats held auditions for potential congressional candidates that they would run on their platform for various congressional seats throughout the country. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s brother Gabriel submitted her for the role”

– In 2017 Justice Democrats, a progressive PAC founded by former Bernie Sanders staffers and allies put out a public call for congressional candidates

– They received over 10,000 nominations

– AOC’s younger brother, Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, submitted her name. AOC was working as a bartender

Justice Democrats vetted nominees and chose AOC. They then trained her and installed her as their candidate
