Senior figures in the US defence department were set to speak at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado this week, following a tradition under both Democrat and Republican administrations. However, Mr Hegseth, the US defence secretary, has blocked his department from taking part in the four-day event, which is hosted by the Aspen Institute think tank. Kingsley Wilson, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told Just the News that Mr Hegseth's office believes it "promotes the evil of globalism, disdain for our great country, and hatred for the president of the United States".

The Albanese government claimed it had nothing to do with a $900 million contract with Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. It in fact directly signed it and closely vetted all stages of its engagement. The federal government directly approved and signed off on the participation of Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems in a major Australian defence procurement — contrary to denials by defence ministers Richard Marles and Pat Conroy, documents obtained under freedom of information reveal. Elbit Systems, a company deeply engaged in and profiting from Israel's genocide in Gaza, provided the drone used by the Israel Defense Forces to execute Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom, along with six of her colleagues, in a deliberate and targeted attack on aid workers in April 2024.

🛡️ BEST OF THE WEB: How MI6 helped Al Qaeda offshoot Hayat Tahrir al-Sham seize Syria

On May 12th, US ambassador to Syria 2011 - 2014 Robert Ford gave a talk to the Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs. Over the course of his oratory, he issued a bombshell disclosure - in 2023, a British "non-governmental organisation" specialised in "conflict resolution" made him an extraordinary offer. They sought Ford's personal assistance in transforming - the Al Qaeda and ISIS-offshoot that now claims to rule Syria - from 'terrorists' into politicians. The NGO was particularly interested in rebranding Ahmed Hussein Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad Jolani, who is now Syria's self-appointed President. Captured as a senior Al Qaeda commander in Mosul, Iraq in 2006, he was inexplicably released from US custody in 2011, just as the foreign-fomented Syrian "revolution" was brewing. Ford explained he met Sharaa on two separate occasions, first in September 2023, then in January 2024 after HTS had seized Damascus. Reportedly, he was completely unrepentant about his militant past:

📰 'Betrayal of every American' - Barack Obama now squarely in Russiagate crosshairs

New disclosures from a Tulsi Gabbard-led working group point directly to the top, as the legacy of "Hope and Change" begins a plunge to the ocean floor... As Matt Taibbi writes for Racket News, Barack Obama entered national politics with a smile that looked like Hope and Change. Amid rumors of family discord and disarray within the political party he once led, his face has hardened. He lately looks bitter, resentful, exhausted by the act. In the wake of reports released by fellow Hawaiian and former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, he also has a new problem. It once seemed a lock that Obama would be remembered as the winsome hero of Shepard Fairey's portrait, but Gabbard's documents place him at the center of an unprecedented act of political sabotage, committed in his last Oval Office days as a humiliated lame-duck in the winter of 2016-2017. The new Director of National Intelligence is targeting Obama's legacy and maybe even his freedom, detailing a "treasonous conspiracy committed by...

📰 'Obvious similarity' between Ukraine and Nazi Germany - Medvedev

Kiev is showing signs of dictatorship and economic degradation like the Third Reich before it fell, the former Russian president has said. Ukraine bears similarities to the Nazi state at the end of World War II and should undergo "demilitarization,""denazification," and "democratization" in a manner similar to postwar Germany, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has told TASS. He spoke to the Russian news agency on Thursday, the 80th anniversary of the Potsdam Conference, which began on July 17, 1945. The conference was the last wartime meeting between leaders of the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It laid the groundwork for postwar Europe, including plans for Germany's demilitarization and denazification. Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, explained that the concept of the "three D's" had originally been formulated for Nazi Germany, which he described as an aggressor state that had disrupted the...

🗳️ Tulsi Gabbard releases 'overwhelming evidence' of Obama coup plot against Trump

Declassified documents show top Obama-era officials overruled intelligence findings to manufacture the 'Russiagate' narrative, Gabbard says. Former President Barack Obama's administration deliberately manipulated intelligence to frame Russia for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, according to newly declassified documents released on Friday by America's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard unveiled more than 100 pages of emails, memos, and internal communications, which she described as "overwhelming evidence" of a coordinated effort by senior Obama-era officials to politicize intelligence and launch the multi-year Trump-Russia collusion investigation. She dubbed it "a treasonous conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people." The scandal severely damaged relations between Moscow and Washington, leading to sanctions, asset seizures, and a breakdown in normal diplomacy.

🏛️ U.S. calls on Israel to investigate killing of Palestinian-American young man by Israeli settlers

The Trump administration is calling on Israel to probe the killing of Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old, Florida-born Palestinian American citizen who was beaten to death by settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank while visiting family. Musallet is the 7th American citizen to be killed by Israeli settlers or forces since October 7, 2023. "There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act," tweeted the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. These sentiments were echoed by lawmakers like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who also called for an Israeli probe: "The Israeli government must thoroughly investigate this killing and hold any and all settlers responsible for the brutal death of Mr Musallet accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

⚔️ Essex police arrest two after asylum hotel protests turn violent

Police say eight officers were assaulted when crowds surrounded a small counter-demonstration. Two people have been arrested after a protest outside a hotel housing asylum seekers during which eight officers were assaulted, Essex police said. Riot police wore helmets and took up position while crowds of men, some masked, surrounded a small counter-demonstration by anti-racism activists on Thursday evening. The counter-extremism group, Hope Not Hate, warned that known far-right activists were calling for further unrest in Epping and elsewhere. The assistant chief constable Stuart Hooper condemned the violence as "mindless thuggery" and said it was started by people who "had come here intentionally to be involved in that kind of selfish vandalism and violence". Counterdemonstrators and police were pelted with plastic bottles, eggs and flour but the violence worsened as those in the crowd directly attacked the police and vandalised police vans as officers withdrew.

A study of prehistoric skeletons from the Italian Alps shows that society may have been organized around fathers and that Ötzi the Iceman had a unique family lineage. A new analysis of ancient DNA from 15 people who lived in the Italian Alps around the same time as Ötzi the Iceman shows that Ötzi's ancestry was decidedly different from his neighbors'. "We analysed an additional 15 Copper Age individuals and they have the same genetic structure as the Iceman," Valentina Coia, a researcher at the Institute for Mummy Studies in Bolzano, Italy, told Live Science in an email. But when looking more closely at the DNA to understand lineages, "we were able to compare the results with those of the Iceman and found that it differs from the other Alpine samples in the area." In a study published July 11 in the journal Nature Communications, Coia and colleagues analyzed the genomes of 47 people who lived in the Tyrolean Alps between the Mesolithic and the Middle Bronze Age, around 6400 to 1300...
