Is the Pentagon Preparing for Military Action in Cuba?

by Matt Margolis, PJ Media:

“We may stop by Cuba after we’re finished with this,” President Donald Trump said on Monday. “This” meaning the conflict in Iran.

If I had a dollar for every time the president said something about what’s coming in Cuba over the last three months, I’d have enough cash to buy a plane ticket to Washington, D.C., so I could stand outside the State Department, hold a boombox over my head, and beg Marco Rubio to give me an interview on the topic.

How DMSO Eases Cancer’s Hidden Burdens — Chemo, Pain, and Radiation Relief

by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Mercola:

Story at-a-glance
  • Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a forgotten gem from the 1960s, effectively treats a broad spectrum of conditions, including strokes, tissue injuries, autoimmune inflammation, a myriad of skin diseases, and many challenging infections
  • One of the least-known benefits of DMSO is that it also eliminates cancers (especially when combined with another therapy) and protects the body from damage created by conventional cancer therapies
  • In dozens of experiments, DMSO has been shown to prevent the damage radiation does to cells, animals, and humans and to heal existing radiation injuries — something relevant not only to cancer patients but also to those receiving CT scans

German Court Orders BioNTech to Hand Over 32 Internal Safety, Toxicity, and Manufacturing Records on ‘Comirnaty’ COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine

by Jon Fleetwood, Jon Fleetwood:

Court affirms injured patients’ right to access manufacturer data, forcing disclosure.

In a major procedural victory for vaccine-injured plaintiffs, a German court has ordered BioNTech to turn over internal data on its Comirnaty mRNA COVID-19 vaccine—affirming that individuals claiming harm have the right to access the manufacturer’s own records to challenge its safety claims and pursue damages.

The Regional Court of Aurich (Landgericht Aurich), in case 5 O 1106/24, issued a certified partial judgment (“Teilurteil”) ordering BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH to provide detailed information on the vaccine’s effects, side effects, and underlying biological and manufacturing characteristics.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni Suspends Defense Pact with Israel

from The National Pulse:

Italy’s suspension of its defense cooperation with Israel is part of a broader trend of European countries decoupling from the Jewish State.

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the suspension of the automatic renewal of a long-standing defense agreement with Israel, citing the need to stabilize the Middle East and ensure the safety of Italian UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) soldiers. The announcement follows Israel’s continued military action in Lebanon following a ceasefire in Iran, and allegations that Israelis opened fire on Italian troops serving as UN peacekeepers in the country.

The Next Banking Crisis and Withdrawal Restrictions

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Banking crises are often misunderstood because the visible panic comes at the end, not the beginning. The real stress builds beneath the surface. In the United States, banks operate on fractional reserves, meaning deposits are not fully held in cash. They are loaned out, invested, and leveraged.

We saw a glimpse of how fragile this system can be in 2023, when several regional banks failed within days, triggering emergency interventions. The Federal Reserve responded by expanding liquidity facilities, injecting hundreds of billions into the system to stabilize deposits. That response prevented immediate collapse, but it did not eliminate the underlying vulnerability.

The Day After Islamabad: When U.S. Power Meets Its Future in the Narrow Strait of Hormuz

from 21st Century Wire:

Islamabad was never a peace conference in any honest sense. It was the moment Washington tried to turn military failure into diplomatic blackmail. What it could not break with bombs, it tried to extract across a polished table. Iran answered by making clear that sovereignty defended under attack would not be converted into a concession or any form of surrender.

The Islamabad talks did not fail because diplomacy ran out of time. They failed because Washington came demanding what war had not delivered, while Tehran came unwilling to sign away, in a hotel room, what it had just defended under fire in its own skies and waters.
