Same day, same outlet (the BBC):

Somalis "hijack" ships.
The US merely "boards" them.

This is how consent is manufactured in real time.

I spoke with the guys at The Deprogram podcast about Israeli attempts to infiltrate the media, the US' huge Iran mistake, and laughed at some of the worst media headlines of the year.

New report from me:

Amid widespread and growing public opposition to the Israeli genocide of Gaza and South Lebanon, a controversial new bill seeks to formally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries like never before, making it difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins.

As the NBA Finals are in full swing, now is the time to remember that the Israeli government is recruiting NBA stars like Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion to become advocates for genocide and whitewash Israeli crimes.

New investigation from me:

If you are a Christian in the Western United States, you are almost certainly being spied upon through your phone by Israel.

New documents show that Israel is spending millions of dollars to target Christian communities across the country with propaganda. If your smart device enters a church or Christian college they are monitoring, Israel pays to have it logged, and targets it with ads, messages and propaganda.

New investigation from me:

PragerU is trying to take over American schools. The right-wing, pseudo-educational group is now an official educational partner in at least ten states, and blitzes children with highly questionable messaging on race, history, and politics. Even more concerning, PragerU is led by former Israeli spy, Marissa Streit, who has stated she uses the tactics and techniques honed by IDF military intelligence on the American people.

Streit’s company is involved in a big-money operation targeting children with neoconservative, pro-war, pro-business, pro-Israel messaging, attempting to indoctrinate them at their youngest and most impressionable age.

Let's explore this increasingly powerful group, with ambitions to completely overhaul the American educational system.

New investigation from me: Why Lionel Messi is Benjamin Netanyahu's favorite footballer.

The world’s eyes are on Lionel Messi, as Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup Final. The diminutive superstar has gained a massive following across the planet, not least in Israel, thanks to his numerous business and security connections with the Apartheid State. From being the face of an Israeli A.I. company led and run by Israeli spies, entrusting his private security to a team of Israel secret agents, I explore the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu considers him to be his favorite football player.

New article from me:

Weapons of Math Destruction: Raytheon sponsors the Girl Scouts of America. BAE Systems is reading your toddlers their favorite fairytale stories. And Lockheed Martin funds children’s math and STEM festivals. This is done with great fanfare, supposedly to empower and inspire children to pursue their passion for science. In reality, though, these companies are attempting to launder their images and enlist the next generation to become cogs in the military-industrial complex.

All the while, these organizations’ products are being used across the world by the United States and Israel to commit war crimes – in Iran, Yemen, Palestine, and beyond – to target children.

Read the article in which I explore the murky world of the arms companies training kids to bomb kids.

Enes Kanter is in the news right now, so it is worth revisiting my investigation into his extremely weird background.

Kanter is a member of a right-wing religious Turkish cult supported by the CIA.

New article from me:

The United States is interfering in the Brazilian presidential elections, pressuring the Brazilian electorate into voting for right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former president, Jair Bolsonaro. If that does not work and President Lula da Silva secures a fourth term in office, the groundwork is already being laid for a potential military intervention. From sanctions and economic warfare, to coaching influencers and journalists on how best to attack the left-wing government, the Trump administration is doing everything it can to overthrow Lula.

Meanwhile, the State Department’s recent decision to designate Brazilian gangs as “foreign terrorist organizations” just as it did with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, signals a willingness to intervene militarily.

Brazil is Trump’s next target, and builds upon recent U.S. and Israeli interference in May’s Colombian elections, where pro-Trump candidate Abelardo de la Espriella won a razor-thin victory.

New from me:

From Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Aniston and Lionel Messi, celebrities across the world are hiring teams of Israeli bodyguards made up of former Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israeli special forces.

But how safe is it to entrust your life and most intimate details to agents from spying agencies with a long track record of infiltrating, surveiling, and blackmailing foreign targets?

My new article explores how Israeli security teams took over the industry of protecting stars.

Enes Kanter is in the news right now, so let's revisit my investigation into him, which found that he is:

+ A CIA asset who has met with senior members of the US national security state, including CIA director William Burns
+ A high-ranking member of a CIA-backed right-wing Turkish religious cult that attempted a coup in 2016.
+ Has an FBI-installed panic button in his mansion.
+ Was named as one of the world's top pro-Israel influencers.

It's a wild story, one not known well, and one very much worth checking out.

I talked to Gorilla Radio about the crazy amount of US interference in Latin American politics right now:

Macklemore has faced more consequences than anyone in the Epstein Files.

New investigation from me:

The world of pop culture is ablaze with fury, as billionaire plutocrat Robert Kraft successfully pressured Ed Sheeran into dropping Macklemore from his North American tour over the rapper’s pro-Palestine statements.

The incident has ignited widespread outrage, and blown up in the Israel Lobby’s face, and caused all of his supporting artists to quit in protest, and brought worldwide attention to both Israel’s crimes and its attempts to silence dissent across the world.

But who is Robert Kraft? In this investigation, I expose the American oligarch’s funding of the pro-Israel Lobby, the network of organizations he has built to shut down pro-Palestine activism, and his extremely close personal, political, and financial relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself.
