🇪🇺💉🦠 Von der Leyen — finally — defends herself over ‘Pfizergate’

“The implication that these contracts were somehow inappropriate against the European interests is, by any measure, simply wrong,” von der Leyen says

While the Commission had argued that the texts were too boring to warrant being released, the case became a flashpoint for transparency activists and right-wing groups. They argued that it demonstrated von der Leyen’s Commission was a particularly unaccountable one.

von der Leyen was unrepentant, sticking to the Commission's previous line and without giving any additional information on what was actually included within texts ― which we still may never see.

“Contract negotiations were conducted by the Commission and member states together,” she said. “Every single contract negotiated was examined in detail in the capitals before being signed by each of the 27 member states.

“There were no secrets, no hidden clauses, no obligation to buy for member states.”

She told lawmakers that “all 27 member states decided to buy vaccines on their own will, so any claims that any member state did not know about the contracts, about the prices or the amounts, is dishonest.

“In fact, let’s call it by its name. It is simply a lie.”

🇪🇸 Locals in the city of Sabadell, north of Barcelona, started a witch-hunt against Algerians in the city because the local police force wasn't doing anything to stop the robberies and sexual assaults committed by the migrants.

In the videos, residents of Sabadell attack an Algerian kebab shop. Other Muslim migrants are also targeted. The police finally intervenes to protect the migrants from the angry locals.

They called in ambulances to treat the beaten migrants.

📝 Admin Note:

Proposed FY26 Budget released last week also increases NWS discretionary funding by $91M.

This area of Texas gets frequent flash flood warnings, almost none of which are as severe as this storm. The time of the flooding (4:35am) along with being used to flood warnings with no danger likely desensitized residents of the area to the real danger of this storm, and many were likely asleep when the advanced severe flood warnings were issued.

There is brewing resentment in Texas against their state government from both Democrats and Republicans for their lack of emergency management at the state level, and the incompetence in planning and building disaster mitigation projects. (Things like the L.A. River to divert flood waters, levies, etc.)

A candidate who acknowledged these issues and partnered with the current admin to get federal infrastructure dollars into Texas would likely have a shot at unseating incumbent zio-slaves like Cruz and Abbot.

🇪🇺❌🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 The European People's Party (EPP) condemns the motion of no-confidence against Ursula von der Leyen calling it "irresponsible".

Two weeks ago, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) started a motion of no-confidence against Ursula von der Leyen over her refusal to publish her text messages with Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer where she negotiated the COVID-19 vaccine acquisition.

AUR considered this refusal by von der Leyen "criminal" especially after the European Court of Justice said that von der Leyen must publish those text messages, with allegations that Ursula accepted a deal where the EU and member states would pay 19.5 EURs/COVID vaccine shot instead of the market price 15.5 EURs/shot

AUR collected 72 signatures (10% of the European Parliament) and would need 361 MEPs to vote for the motion which is unlikely to happen.

The EPP's leftist allies, the S&D group, Renew Europe and the Greens have already said they will vote against the motion, on principle as they refuse to collaborate with the "far-right", although some MEPs from these leftist parties expressed dissatisfaction with von der Leyen's recent concessions to the "far-right" over migration and environmental policies.

The EPP condemns the motion as "irresponsible in a time of growing geopolitical tension". If the motion passes by some miracle, it would topple the 2nd von der Leyen Commission, a premiere in the history of the European Union.

Ursula will have an opportunity to defend her refusal to reveal the text messages with Pfizer this week when the motion will be discussed by the European Parliament.

Are Tolkien’s dwarves an allegory for the Jews?

More than three decades after publishing “The Hobbit,” Tolkien spoke about the Jewish-dwarvish connection during a BBC interview.

“I didn’t intend it, but when you’ve got these people on your hands, you’ve got to make them different, haven’t you?” said Tolkien during the 1971 interview. “The dwarves of course are quite obviously, wouldn’t you say that in many ways they remind you of the Jews? Their words are Semitic, obviously, constructed to be Semitic. The hobbits are just rustic English people,” he said.

As with the Old Testament’s later Jewish kings, the dwarf kings of Erebor prove to be highly corruptible, not to mention gold-obsessed. Their ceaseless accumulation of wealth – Tolkien makes clear – stoked the resentment of neighbors, and eventually brought on the marauding dragon.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 US contractors say their colleagues are firing live ammo as Palestinians seek food in Gaza

American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.

Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.

They said their colleagues regularly lobbed stun grenades and pepper spray in the direction of the Palestinians. One contractor said bullets were fired in all directions — in the air, into the ground and at times toward the Palestinians, recalling at least one instance where he thought someone had been hit.

🚨THROWBACK THURSDAY: Spy bros – Mossad and Turkish spooks’ dirty decades of deceit

Turkish and Israeli intelligence agents were once buddies, spying on Arabs and Soviets across the Middle East and beyond.

Trident

🔴 In 1958, Israel, Turkiye, and Iran formed a trilateral intelligence network known as Trident, linking Mossad, Turkiye's National Security Service (TNSS, later MIT), and Iran’s SAVAK.

🔴 Their first meeting launched subversion projects targeting Egypt and the USSR, according to Israeli author Yossi Alpher.

🔴 Mossad trained Turkish agents in counterintelligence and technical surveillance, per Israeli intelligence historian Yossi Melman.

🔴 Trident held semiannual meetings where intel chiefs shared information on common enemies: Egypt, Syria, and Iraq.

Currying favor with the West

🔴 The alliance also maintained close ties with the CIA.

🔴 Then-Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion pitched Trident to Washington as a Western bulwark against Soviet influence and Arab nationalism.

🔴 Turkiye recognized Jewish influence in US politics and viewed its relationship with Israel as a conduit to Washington through the Jewish lobby.

Iran drops out, Turkiye and Israel carry on

🔶 Despite Trident’s sophistication, neither it nor the CIA foresaw the 1979 Iranian Revolution that brought an end to the pro-Western regime in Tehran.

🔶 After Tehran’s exit, Turkiye and Israel maintained cooperation, spying on shared adversaries:

➡️Turkiye provided intel on Syria, Iraq, and Iran via US-built listening posts.
➡️ In return, Ankara received Israeli intelligence on Kurdish groups, especially the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

🔶 Turkiye became a key base for Mossad operations against Iran.

🔶 In 1996, Turkish-Israeli ties deepened with a defense pact that included bolstered intel ties, officer exchanges, joint training, port visits, counterterrorism, border security, and defense industry cooperation.

The split under Erdogan

♦️ Relations soured after the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, when Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish activists bringing aid to Gaza.

♦️ In 2013, the Jerusalem Post reported that Ankara had allegedly leaked the identities of 10 Iranian spies meeting Mossad handlers in Turkiye to Tehran — calling it an “unprecedented act of betrayal.” In April 2012, Tehran announced it exposed a Mossad spy ring in Iran.

🇺🇸🪰 Billions of flies to be dumped out of planes in an effort to fight flesh-eating maggot known as "man-eater"

The U.S. government is preparing to breed billions of flies and dump them out of airplanes over Mexico and southern Texas to fight a flesh-eating maggot.

That sounds like the plot of a horror movie, but it is part of the government's plans for protecting the U.S. from a bug that could devastate its beef industry, decimate wildlife and even kill household pets. This weird science has worked well before.

"It's an exceptionally good technology," said Edwin Burgess, an assistant professor at the University of Florida who studies parasites in animals, particularly livestock. "It's an all-time great in terms of translating science to solve some kind of large problem."
