Bill Gates has found another government willing to let his foundation spread its influence even further. During a meeting in New York, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the foundation’s role in polio vaccination and opened the door to a much broader Gates-backed agenda.
We already covered how Gates turned India into a testing ground for his projects in our previous post. Now the same playbook is reaching Pakistan, with the proposed cooperation going well beyond 'healthcare':
All the while, polio remains the convenient public face of the relationship. Gates handed out praise for Pakistan’s vaccination programme, and Sharif returned the favour by calling the foundation a ‘trusted partner’ and reaffirming his commitment to eradication.
Same old story: Gates’ favourite hobby remains turning other countries’ problems into his next experiments.

🇵🇸The last Christian village in the West Bank is under threat from Israeli settlers | MEE
#Taybeh, the last fully Christian village in the occupied West Bank, is facing an escalating campaign of violence and intimidation by surrounding Israeli settlers.
Surrounded by illegal settlements, outposts, and military gates, residents say their lands and historic religious sites are routinely targeted by arson attacks, vandalism, and armed harassment aimed at forcing them to leave the area.
Speaking to Middle East Eye's Jerusalem bureau chief Lubna Masarwa, Father Bashar Fawadleh, the Latin parish priest of Taybeh, detailed what daily life looks like under constant encirclement and how the community is fighting to survive on its ancestral land.

🇾🇪🇸🇦| For the first time, Yemen targeted the Tabuk region with missiles, near Jordan.
This region is home to one of the largest and most important airbases of the #Saudi army, and in fact, one of the Saudi’s five main airbases.
It remains to be seen what specific target the Yemeni army was aiming for with this attack, despite being located ~ 2000km away.

🇺🇸💵 US transports $600 million of stolen Iranian oil across Atlantic - reports
The US has expropriated around six million barrels of Iranian oil, in what the Tasnim News Telegram account described as an act of piracy.
The cargo, worth approximately $600 million, is currently being transported to the US through the Atlantic Ocean, the publication reports, citing TankerTrackers.
The oil was seized from Iranian tankers detained by the US in the Indian Ocean in May, as the country grapples with a fuel crisis that has sent gasoline and diesel prices to historic highs, while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
👉 Regular gasoline at the US pumps averages $4.48 per gallon and diesel is at a nominal record high of about $6.51–$6.53 per gallon, as of late September. US Strategic Petroleum Reserve crude oil stocks fell to 284.6 million barrels, their lowest level since October 1982.
In May, the US seized the Iranian-linked tanker Skywave, which was carrying more than a million barrels of oil loaded at Iran’s Kharg Island in February, according to the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper noted at the time that it could not be determined whether the vessel had unloaded the oil in Asia.
In April, the US also seized two other Iranian-linked tankers, Majestic X and Tifani, in the Indian Ocean.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 France defended allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plane to cross its airspace to the UN, citing international law does not require action despite an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux told reporters the clearance was "in full conformity with international law.
The Rome Statute does not impose any obligations regarding overflights of its territory by a state plane which has a passenger who is targeted by an arrest warrant."
Flight-tracking app Flightradar24 showed Netanyahu's plane flew over Greece, Italy and France. A spokesperson for Italy's Foreign Ministry said they could not immediately answer whether Israeli authorities had sought permission for an overflight.
Last year Netanyahu flew a circuitous route to New York to skirt the airspace of several European countries, including France, media reported at the time.

❗️The US is again deploying large numbers of strategic tankers and C-17 transport aircraft to West Asia, with several flights tracked landing in Israel as a new US air bridge forms amid preparations for a potential large-scale attack on Iran, according to Flightradar24 data,
The buildup also includes increased activity by KC-135 and KC-46 tankers and MQ-4C surveillance drones around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran, mirroring deployments seen before previous US strikes. The movements come days after US President Donald Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran at the UN.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, visibly agitated over AI doomsaying, admits "AI" is just software being deceptively marketed as "artificial intelligence."
"There's no willpower here, it's just electrical power!"
"A collection of people want to make the software more than it is."
"These are ideas that have been around for a long time, we just somehow, in a recent generation, gave it, you know, a whole bunch of human words, and I just think that it's unnecessary. It's software!"
Of course, he's as guilty as anyone of overhyping this software as "artificial intelligence," but it's nice to have an industry leader admit this.
I suspect he's only coming clean about this now because he's afraid that OpenAI's and Anthropic's (clearly self-interested) fearmongering is going to damage the industry as a whole by getting it regulated.

Why is this picture hailed but the one with Delcy & Trump not?
To answer, Venezuela should not be compared to giant powerful countries not in the backyard of the US—but it is— and it is also held to this higher standard by westerners who do not live in it and can’t even elect decent politicians in our countries.
What’s happening in Venezuela is devastating. Utterly a case of the powerful overtaking a less powerful country at gun point, one with 0 chance in fighting it even though they IMO should have tried anyway.
Now the people of Venezuela are protesting, are acting, division is rising, and this of course benefits empire more. But it is up to them to decide and it is they who will face the consequences of those decisions. None of this suddenly happened with Maduro’s kidnapping and departure. There were changes within the government long before that. Decades of Chavismo don’t suddenly vanish overnight. That’s hogwash.
Maduro has not been mentioned publicly while Delcy stands next to Trump, which as a PR move is beyond disgusting and says it all. It’s an insult to everything Venezuela stood for. If I were in charge of their press I would be fuming. There is an absolute failure to explain what is happening, intentional or not. But public perception is most always not reality. Most don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes. It is impossible that one person manage a country’s affairs alone; agreements are reached by a group.
Venezuela are one of many nations who have lost much to empire and many more will fall to the evil Zionist-imperialist pursuit of the Donroe Doctrine and Pax Judaica. How long can ideologies live when you lack basic needs and are constantly under attack without the means to fight back? This depends on many things.
Venezuela isn’t and never was millennial old mighty Iran, so the comparisons are moot. Latin America are young countries, birthed from colonialism via Spain and Portugal into neocolonialism, coups and regime changes via the United States and west, similarly to African countries. They need allies. Not a reality for the far way Asian countries with armies and millennia of experience.
Yet people definitely have a double standards when more powerful China/Russia & their relations with Saudis, US and Israel. China continues trading with Israel and supplying Saudis against Yemen. China is a major trading partner for the US who imports everything from them.
Meanwhile Putin met with demons Kushner and Witcoff, and is entertaining deals with the devil for some fake peace. The Kremlin constantly compliments Trump, the war criminal, in charge of the empire persecuting the Balkanization of Russia—even after getting bombed by Kiev with US-NATO weapons and funding. Yet these narratives are twisted.
We can all angrily point and rail against Delcy’s seeming treachery but beyond that and beyond made up analysis from shady anon accounts we don’t know exactly what happened. Most people railing online will not endure the consequences of what is happening to Venezuelans and most wouldn’t last a day under sanctions or bombs. They’ll move on to the next story of the week.
Not sure if it’s racism or a form of blinded ignorance but this is constantly happening with analyses from westerners on countries in Latin America and “global south.”
Perhaps it’s only what US Americans and westerners who say they’re “anti imperialists” know to do: rail when their ideologies fall and cheer when they feel they’re winning, but never create anything remotely like it in this hemisphere.
In this reality only the most powerful countries with powerful militaries, and the resolve of resistance can dare face the US and its NATO contingent—if they choose. The empire is aligned, we are not and a united bloc to oppose empire is needed.
Analysis (most of it AI) that doesn’t take all of this into consideration is trash doing the bidding of empire. This isn’t a sport . This is reality and people’s lives. Remember that.

I would add, nothing is said about Putin's cosy relationship with Netanyahu and Israel either, ever, in the influencer media sphere. Why is that?
