While we've been told that the Yemeni Houthis join Iran in their war against US-Israel, it isn’t clear what the value of the Houthis’ support is (or what the status of that ongoing war is). I don’t expect them to do much damage shooting missiles at far away Israel (let alone the USA). The United Ara...

While most of the reported scandals this month at first look interesting but aren't at all (distraction stories from the real scandals), this looks like a genuine corruption scandal. Although it could also be argued that this story is merely part of Abdul El-Sayed's senate campaign against Mike Roge...

Isn’t it odd how the UAE is everywhere, but gets no attention (despite often being involved in scandals that otherwise DO get a lot of media attention)?!? . President Trump buried a 10-year ban on AI regulation within the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, which strips state and local governments of the abil...

Boehly is a long-time business partner of Mark Walter, who recently sold his majority stake in the LA Lakers to Ivanka Trump’s brother-i...

For the last week, several Trump-connected scandals have been pushed into the spotlight. It isn’t easy to figure out which is THE main scandal they are covering up through this often used strategy. This is the most interesting ‘recent’ Trump-connected scandal I found... I guess you’ve heard about Tr...

Erik Prince is best known for founding Blackwater (which was renamed to Xe Services), which had a shoot first, ask questions later when the democracy and freedom was brought to Iraq. Erik Prince’s new company Reflex Responses (R2) trained mercenaries for the UAE (used in the war against Yemen). Mr. ...

The few media that have reported on the war against Yemen and blame “the coalition” for “more than 50,000 deaths” supposedly led by Saudi Arabia, that in reality killed more than half a million Yemenis from 2015 to 2021 of which many children, have downplayed the leading role of the United Arab Emir...
