📺 How modern culture distorts reality

In the UK, a study of a thousand advertisements shown over two months found that 37% of them featured Black people, who nonetheless make up only 4% of the British population (Gordon, 2019).

A more recent study found even higher non-White overrepresentation in British (59%) French (55%) and German (47%) advertisements (Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, 2023).

🇺🇸 Trump officials circulate plan to overhaul US foreign assistance

In memos circulating on social media, Trump administration officials call for moving USAID’s independent operations under the authority of the State Department and renaming its work the U.S. Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA).

The changes include the abolition of the Development Assistance and Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia accounts; the merger of the Migration and Refugee Assistance and International Disaster Assistance accounts; the transfer of the Transition Initiatives account to the Department of State; and the elimination of congressional directives on the Economic Support Fund.

The second pillar calls for merging at least three agencies: the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.

The memo says that the new entity would act as a major counterweight to China’s Belt and Road Initiative — which Beijing used to invest economically and diplomatically in countries it sought to gain influence.

A third pillar calls for consolidating all “politically oriented” programs that the Trump administration might want to pursue, including those aimed at promoting democracy, empowering women, combatting human trafficking, safeguarding religious freedom, “and the persecuted Church,” the memo states.

“This realignment would recognize these programs as ‘inherently diplomatic or political and need direct command and control of the secretary of State,” the memo reads

🇺🇸🌐 European military powers are working on a 5-10 year plan to replace the US in NATO

Europe’s biggest military powers are drawing up plans to take on greater responsibilities for the continent’s defence from the US, including a pitch to the Trump administration for a managed transfer over the next five to 10 years.

The discussions are an attempt to avoid the chaos of a unilateral US withdrawal from Nato, a fear sparked by President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to weaken or walk away from the transatlantic alliance that has protected Europe for almost eight decades.

The UK, France, Germany and the Nordics are among the countries engaged in the informal but structured discussions, according to four European officials involved. Their aim is to come up with a plan to shift the financial and military burden to European capitals and present it to the US ahead of Nato’s annual leaders’ summit in The Hague in June.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Jenin camp '100 percent destroyed' after two-month Israeli siege

The Municipality Director of the occupied West Bank’s Jenin, Mamdouh Assaf, said on 17 March that the city has been almost completely destroyed by the Israeli siege and assault, which has been ongoing for nearly two months.

“Jenin has been under full occupation for 56 days, and 3,200 homes have been evacuated,” Assaf said, adding that “one-hundred percent of the Jenin Refugee Camp has been leveled, and 85 percent of the streets in Jenin have been destroyed.”

Over 43,000 people have been displaced in both Jenin and Tulkarem. At least 47 have been killed, and dozens of others injured.

Israeli forces have destroyed hundreds of homes and buildings in both cities with explosives and bulldozers. Several areas of the Jenin and Tulkarem camps have been taken over and transformed into military posts.

🇮🇱 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday slammed the so-called “Deep State” in a post on his official “prime minister” X account, harnessing some of the same rhetoric used by US President Donald Trump to dismiss his critics.

Less than a half hour after the tweet was posted, Netanyahu deleted it from his official account and posted the same message from his personal account.

While customarily meant to remain outside of political arguments, President Isaac Herzog’s office offered a rebuttal to Netanyahu’s post, writing on X, “Israel’s strong and independent judicial system is an asset to our democracy, and the president of Israel is very proud of it.”

Also Wednesday, Hebrew media reported that Netanyahu and other ministers berated Baharav-Miara and the legal establishment during Tuesday night’s cabinet meeting, when ministers met to reappoint far-right politician Itamar Ben Gvir as national security minister.

Ministers approved Ben Gvir’s return to the role despite opposition from Baharav-Miara, who had advised Netanyahu that doing so would not be possible from a legal perspective.

“Trump didn’t believe when he heard about the depth of the deep state in Israel, which is as deep as the ocean,” Netanyahu was cited as saying by the Kan public broadcaster.

🇺🇸🇲🇽 Trump Administration Planning Military Buffer Zone Along Mexico Border To Hold Migrants, Report Says

The plans would establish a military-controlled, 60-foot-deep buffer zone along the southern border that could extend from west Texas near El Paso to the Pacific Ocean in Southern California north of Tijuana, Mexico, five U.S. officials familiar with the deliberations told the Post.

The Defense Department announced a joint task force earlier this month that would help “secure and seal the southern border,” with a headquarters at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, and the buffer zone would likely be designated as a temporary annex for nearby military installations like Huachuca, officials told the Post.

Trump ordered thousands of active-duty troops to the southern border shortly after his inauguration in January, and about 10,000 service members are involved in border security efforts as of this month.
