Participant WATCH — Craig Murray: UN Peacekeepers Watch Civilians Massacred
What went wrong? Is this Srebrenica syndrome? The author probes UNIFIL Spokesman Andrea Tenenti about what happened in southern Lebanon on Jan. 26.
On Jan. 26, at least 22 unarmed civilians in southern Lebanon were shot dead by Israel and 147 wounded in a massacre observed by heavily armed U.N. Peacekeepers who did not intervene. I asked the U.N. the very hard questions which nobody else is asking them.
The civilians were simply attempting to return to their homes in accordance with both U.N. Security Resolution 1701 and the current ceasefire agreement, and indeed UNIFIL, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, has a specific mandate under 1701 to assist displaced people to return. https://consortiumnews.com/2025/02/13/watch-craig-murray-un-peacekeepers-watch-civilians-massacred/ Israeli army tells Palestinians to leave their homes or die

Participant US awaits Arab plan for Gaza, Trump plan remains default option: Washington
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that the Trump administration is giving Arab nations time to present a viable proposal for post-war Gaza, but for now, “the only plan is the Trump plan.”
Speaking on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Rubio emphasized that while a ceasefire appeared to be holding, the key issue remained: “At some point, then you’ve got to figure out, okay, what happens with Gaza?” https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/us-awaits-arab-plan-for-gaza-trump-plan-remains-default-option-washington/3481813 Donald Trump has vowed that displaced Palestinians will not be allowed to return to Gaza under the U.S. plan for the region.

Teens Who Eat Ultraprocessed Foods Have Lower Muscle Mass
Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) significantly increase the risk of low muscle mass, a key indicator of sarcopenia, by 60% in young and middle-aged adults. Teenagers consuming more UPFs have significantly lower muscle mass and lean body mass due to the lack of essential nutrients like protein.
UPF consumption is linked to various health issues beyond muscle mass reduction, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Studies show UPFs increase intramuscular fat accumulation independent of physical activity or body mass index (BMI), highlighting the impact of diet quality. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/teens-ultraprocessed-foods-lower-muscle-mass-cola/Sudden Infant Death syndrome, “Crib Death”, is highly associated with infant vaccinations. Musk must know that by now.

DOGE due diligence at treasury
“adventures in hide the ball” and other fun lawfare
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/doge-due-diligence-at-treasurydid you know that since 1946 no president nor any of his appointed staff of secretaries up to and including the treasury secretary has had access to the US government’s payment system?
none. nada. zilch. it’s one big opaque black box to which the executive branches executives have been barred.
payables are the record. when you due diligence a company, once you decide you might be interested, this is where you start. you look at everyhting that goes out and you match it to bank statements. it’s DD 101. any first year investment banker, auditor, or accountant knows this. it’s so obvious that the idea that someone might not do it at trillion dollar scale with a pentagon whose $2000 hammers cannot hammer out any semblance of a passing audit grade beggars belief and the fact that it has not been done by the US government for 79 years threatens to make beggars of us all.
no fewer than 5 former swamp donkey secretaries of treasury are up in arms in a pravda on the hudson opinion piece that essentially amounts to railing about “how dare someone come in and do the job that we ourselves should have done!?!”
