TSA Visited Apple and Google To Discuss Collaboration for Digital ID
TSA's push for biometric technology and digital IDs with Big Tech aims to streamline airport security, but raises concerns over passenger privacy and government surveillance.
The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is continuing collaboration with Big Tech concerning the use of biometric surveillance technology, but also the development of digital IDs for passengers.
On its site, the TSA revealed that its officials traveled to California recently where they met with representatives of Apple and Google to talk about continuing work on implementing digital ID on people’s phones.
The TSA delegation to Silicon Valley, led by Administrator David Pekoske, referred to Apple and Google as their “innovation partners.” The goal is to continue with yet another example of “public-private” aka, government-Big Tech “partnership.”
This one seems to be happening fully in the open and at least TSA is enthusiastic about talking about it, and spelling it out: “TSA is working with the tech giants so passengers can identify themselves with IDs stored on their phones at airports,” said the agency post.
As for those private companies, Google explained that the “collaboration” in question has to do with Google Wallet, and the ability to store a government ID in the app to allow TSA PreCheck “in select airports.”
That was something Google revealed to the Washington Times back in 2023; to this latest TSA site post, neither Google nor Apple had any comment.
But Connie LaRossa, Google’s Senior Policy Manager, Government Affairs & Public Policy, posted on LinkedIn that the company is “looking forward to being part of the TSA’s vision for the future of travel.”

UN Urges Probe Into Mass Graves at Gaza Hospitals Raided by Israel
UN rights officials expressed 'horror' at the images of these sites
The UN Secretary-General Spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, told reporters on 23 April that there has to be “a clear, transparent and credible investigation” into the mass graves found in Khan Yunis.
Over 200 bodies were found in a number of mass graves found in Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex on Sunday, some bound and beheaded.
“We found in the Nasser Complex corpses without heads and bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen,” Gaza’s Government Media Office said. “The occupation executed dozens of displaced, wounded, sick, and medical staff.”
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) noted yesterday that 283 bodies were found “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste,” and only 42 have been identified to date.
“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands … tied and stripped of their clothes,” Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said.
Shamdasani also highlighted another mass grave being found under the Shifa hospital. Citing local authorities, she notes to journalists in Geneva: “Reports suggest that there were 30 Palestinian bodies buried in two graves in the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City; one in front of the emergency building and the others in front of the dialysis building."
Shamdasani added that “there are reports that the hands of some of these bodies were also tied,” nothing there could be “many more” still, “despite the claim by the [Israeli army] to have killed 200 Palestinians during the Al-Shifa medical complex operation.”

Russia Shot Down Israeli Fighter Jet on a Mission to Nuke Iran — Pepe Escobar’s Sources:
Why was Irsaels counterattack on Iran so weak? The answer may have been leaked to the independent journalist Pepe Escobar columnist at The Cradle. In a series of tweets, Escobar reveals Israel’s alleged plan to take out Iran’s electronic and communication networks with a nuclear EMP blast over Theran on April 19.
This story is too eye-catching not to be published, even though we at NewsVoice only have Escobar’s track record as a trustworthy journalist and no direct contact with his sources...
The first drop of alleged leaked information was tweeted on April 20 by Escoar who refers to “a very high-level intel source” from Asia but not from Russia or China.
Escobar:
“Israel initially chose to respond with extreme force. An F-35 loaded with a nuclear bomb was sent east over Jordan.
The mission: cause a high-altitude detonation over Iran that would provoke a surge in the high-capacity power lines, crippling Iran’s electric grid, as well as disabling all electronic devices. An EMP attack.”
“As the Israeli F-35 was leaving Jordanian airspace it was shot down by the Russian Air Force. Hence the publicised version of the Israeli counter response was such a travesty. In the end, all sides decided not to publicise the real news – to de-escalate what could well turn into WWIII.”
The chilling revelation was followed by another additional tweet on April 21 after some people expressed their doubts about the accuracy (extract):
“I am just a messenger of an extremely explosive intel leak relayed by an unimpeachable source. An Asian source – that’s all I can reveal.”
The next tweet on the same day goes (extracts):
“I now have TWO separate, definitive confirmations from TWO ultra high-level intel sources from TWO separate Asian nations. Working to get a third – at least a partial acknowledgement.”
“I moved to Asia 30 years ago. Built an unparalleled network.”
“The original source that led to my first post reconfirmed he stands by it. His words:
–I’m honestly surprised that people are surprised. Do they really think if something like this happened it’s gonna be presented to them in front of their TVs? It’s like history has taught them nothing.”
In a final update Pepe Escobar tweets (extracts) writes:
“It’s now fully established that The Information was confirmed independently by the intel of a Big Power. The Information was NOT relayed by Russia. It then reached a third nation – and from that to me.”
Escobar goes on with some arguments to ensure the accuracy of the intel and at the end of the final tweet he writes:
"“The source that contacted me notes that “sometimes, after news has entered the media space, there is no choice but not to provide clarification.”...
If this is true it makes sense that Iran decided to downplay Israel’s revenge and not to retaliate since the Russians saved Iran from a nuclear disaster. Pepe Escobar writes he will publish more about this leak shortly.

UK Defense Chief Says Ukraine to Increase Long-Range Strikes in Russia
Just as President Biden was signing into effect the newly approved foreign defense package which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, the United Kingdom also rolled out its own massive aid package (though paling in comparison), first unveiled Tuesday (April 23).
Britain announced its single largest aid package for Ukraine yet, at the equivalent of $620 million (£500 million). According to UK NATO officials, the arms include Storm Shadow missiles among a total of 1,600 strike and air defense missiles, four million rounds of ammo, 60 boats, and over 400 vehicles.
Even though the White House is busy cautioning that in the coming months Russia is likely to make more gains on the front lines, according to fresh words of Jake Sullivan, British leadership is still talking about "winning".
Defense Minister Grant Shapps, for example, had this to say about new aid: "This record package of military aid will give President Zelensky and his brave nation more of the kit they need to kick Putin out and restore peace and stability in Europe."
"The UK was the first to provide NLAW missiles, the first to give modern tanks, and the first to send long-range missiles," he added. "Now, we are going even further. We will never let the world forget the existential battle Ukraine is fighting, and with our enduring support, they will win."
Britain's military leadership is also echoing this optimism, with UK defense chief, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, telling Financial Times that the West's new infusion of military aid will help Ukraine increase its long-range strikes on Russian territory: "Ukraine is set to increase long-range attacks inside Russia as an influx of western military aid aims to help Kyiv shape the war in much stronger ways," the head of the UK military has said.

The Geopolitics of Labor: Israel’s Quest To Replace Palestinian Workers With Indians
Israel is mitigating its labor shortage by importing Hindu-only Indians after revoking work permits for Palestinians – an old colonial practice that could impact its deepening geopolitical ties with New Delhi.
On 10 April, in the thick of the war on Gaza, the Israeli government, facing a labor crisis, announced that it would fly in 6,000 Indian laborers during April and May on state-subsidized shuttle flights.
This decision follows Israel's suspension of work permits for Palestinian construction workers, a move that has significantly impacted its building sector. Israel’s Finance Ministry estimates that the absence of Palestinian laborers is costing the economy about three billion shekels ($828 million) monthly, which could lead to a loss of three percent of GDP as the building and housing markets struggle with debt amounting to 400 billion shekels ($106 billion).
Simultaneously, New Delhi, overlooking the genocide and humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, has agreed to send Indian construction workers to replace the displaced Palestinian workforce. This decision aligns with a bilateral agreement to integrate 100,000 Indian laborers into Israel’s construction industry, matching the number of ousted Palestinian workers.
A colonial strategy
Canadian immigration attorney Aidan Simardone, speaking to The Cradle, compares the situation to historical colonial practices in North America where marginalized European religious groups, like the Puritans, were brought in to service colonial interests.
Israel, he points out, is adopting a similar strategy by recruiting economically disadvantaged Hindu Indians from regions like Uttar Pradesh, aiming to manage demographic and political challenges seamlessly:
"The move is also an attempt by Israel to pull the rug out from under one of the thorns on the side of colonialism. Colonialism requires squeezing blood out of a stone, yet this squeezing depends on the sweat and tears of those who are at the bottom of the barrel."
Simardone notes the inherent risks for the colonizer in relying entirely on an indigenous labor force, as workers will rebel when colonialism reveals its true nature:
"To steer clear of this predicament, colonizers bring in labor from other parts. These laborers are often pushed to the sidelines as well, but unlike the Indigenous population, they go with the flow rather than swimming against the tide when it comes to the colonial project...."

Egypt Holds ‘Secret’ Intel Meeting with Israel on Rafah
Egypt has been briefed on and is involved in Israeli plans to evacuate Rafah's civilians into Khan Yunis
Top Israeli and Egyptian officials held a secret meeting in Cairo on 24 April, aimed at discussing Tel Aviv’s plans for an invasion of Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.
Three senior Israeli officials told Axios on Wednesday that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi met with the head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel, and Egypt’s army chief Osama Askar.
The report came the same day that an Israeli defense official said that Israel will launch the operation in Rafah as soon as it gets government approval. Israel is “moving ahead” with the operation, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, but gave no specific time frame.
Israel is developing a plan to evacuate civilians from the desperately overcrowded city. Egypt has expressed concern over the possibility of an influx of Palestinian refugees entering its territory once Rafah is attacked and has vowed not to allow any mass displacement of Gazans into its Sinai desert.
Washington has repeatedly called on Israel to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians from Rafah, where military operations pose the threat of a severe humanitarian catastrophe.
“Everyone is waiting for Netanyahu's directive to start evacuating the civilian population from Rafah. It's parked at his desk. He needs to resolve the matter with both the Americans and the Egyptians,” one of the Israeli officials told Axios.
US and Israeli officials held a virtual meeting last week to discuss plans for Rafah. The decision to launch the operation is “conditions-based and not time-based, and connected to the humanitarian situation on the ground,” Tel Aviv emphasized to Washington during the meeting, according to US officials.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 23 April, citing Egyptian officials, that Israel’s evacuation plans for Rafah are near complete. The plan will take two to three weeks and will be carried out in cooperation with Washington, Cairo, and other Arab states, including the UAE.
Egyptian forces have deployed in the northern Sinai and along the Gaza border, and are at “full readiness” after being briefed by Israel on plans for Rafah, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported on 18 April.

Egypt has been briefed on and is involved in Israeli plans to evacuate Rafah's civilians into Khan Yunis
Top Israeli and Egyptian officials held a secret meeting in Cairo on 24 April, aimed at discussing Tel Aviv’s plans for an invasion of Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.
Three senior Israeli officials told Axios on Wednesday that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi met with the head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel, and Egypt’s army chief Osama Askar.
The report came the same day that an Israeli defense official said that Israel will launch the operation in Rafah as soon as it gets government approval. Israel is “moving ahead” with the operation, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, but gave no specific time frame.
Israel is developing a plan to evacuate civilians from the desperately overcrowded city. Egypt has expressed concern over the possibility of an influx of Palestinian refugees entering its territory once Rafah is attacked and has vowed not to allow any mass displacement of Gazans into its Sinai desert.
Washington has repeatedly called on Israel to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians from Rafah, where military operations pose the threat of a severe humanitarian catastrophe.
“Everyone is waiting for Netanyahu's directive to start evacuating the civilian population from Rafah. It's parked at his desk. He needs to resolve the matter with both the Americans and the Egyptians,” one of the Israeli officials told Axios.
US and Israeli officials held a virtual meeting last week to discuss plans for Rafah. The decision to launch the operation is “conditions-based and not time-based, and connected to the humanitarian situation on the ground,” Tel Aviv emphasized to Washington during the meeting, according to US officials.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 23 April, citing Egyptian officials, that Israel’s evacuation plans for Rafah are near complete. The plan will take two to three weeks and will be carried out in cooperation with Washington, Cairo, and other Arab states, including the UAE.
Egyptian forces have deployed in the northern Sinai and along the Gaza border, and are at “full readiness” after being briefed by Israel on plans for Rafah, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported on 18 April.

Rumble Defies Global Censorship Trends, Takes Stand Against New Zealand’s Free Speech Crackdown
Rumble rejects New Zealand's censorship demand after whistleblower reveals alleged Covid vaccine-related deaths.
The CEO of Rumble, a free-speech YouTube competitor, says that global censorship levels are on the rise, but that what’s particularly noticeable are censorship demands coming from Australia and New Zealand – who seem to be following in the controversial, to say the least, footsteps of France and Brazil.
On the one hand, this is surprising, given these countries’ formal democratic provenance.
On the other hand, their actions over the last years, including site blocking at ISP level, constant demands for more stringent regulation to facilitate social media content removal, and even the draconian Covid – and post-Covid era measures, tell a different story.
Chris Pavlovski told Mat Kim that the FreeNZMedia channel has now become a deplatforming target in New Zealand, for reporting about leaked data from the National Vaccination Database, that a whistleblower, former Health New Zealand IT employee Barry Young, made available.
And the data Young gave to reporters and activists concerns Covid vaccine-related deaths and claims that these facts are being covered up.
For referring to Young, and referring to the data he provided to the public, a letter has been sent to Rumble to remove FreeNZMedia. It came from the National Health Authority.
However, Pavlovski said that the company has decided to refuse to do that, or to withdraw from the country, and will instead “challenge it and see what happens.”
Pavlovski went on to refer to this particular New Zealand case as “absurd” and “disgusting” – in that it bears resemblance to the Pentagon Papers. At that time, journalist Daniel Ellsberg emerged as a hero of free speech that was protected by the courts in the US.
But that was nearly 50 years ago, and things have clearly changed not only in faraway lands, but in the US itself, and whistleblowers face anything from deplatforming to life in prison.
Speaking about the case of Young, and FreeNZMedia, Pavlovski said that the whistleblower “has a statistics background, went through all the data, found the different batches of vaccines that had an irregular high death rate and published that, and gave out different interviews on doing it.”

The New York Times Calls Out Biden Admin for Avoiding Questions
On Thursday, The New York Times released a statement regarding US President Joe Biden's persistent avoidance of questions from journalists.
"Mr. Biden has granted far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews with independent journalists than virtually all of his predecessors," the statement reads. "It is true that The Times has sought an on-the-record interview with Mr. Biden, as it has done with all presidents going back more than a century. If the president chooses not to sit down with The Times because he dislikes our independent coverage, that is his right, and we will continue to cover him fully and fairly either way."
The Times also says Biden's habit of avoiding interviews and questions from "major news organizations" undermines a "important norm" and "establishes a dangerous precedent that future presidents can use to avoid scrutiny and accountability".
The statement calls on Biden to sit down for interviews with The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, CNN and other "major independent news organizations".

○ Work on the Gaza pier is expected to be completed in several days.
○ "Whether the pier will ultimately succeed in boosting humanitarian aid is unclear."
○ An anonymous senior Biden administration official, said humanitarian aid coming off the pier will need to pass through Israeli checkpoints on land, despite having already been inspected by Israel in Cyprus prior to being shipped to Gaza.
○ Israel wants to prevent any aid getting to "Hamas fighters."
○ It is claimed that US troops will have boots on the ground in Gaza to operate activities on the pier. The effort will be helped by private contractors working for the US forces and distribution will be carried out by the World Food Organization's staff.

US Air Force Awards $13 Billion Doomsday Plane Contract to Sierra Nevada
The U.S. Air Force said on Friday that it has awarded a $13 billion contract to Sierra Nevada Corp to develop a successor to the E-4B, known as the Doomsday plane due to its ability to survive a nuclear war.
The Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) project is intended to replace the aging 1970s-era aircraft, which is approaching end-of-service life, an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement.

IDF Shelling Hammers Rafah as Egypt Sends Top Intel Official to Avert Ground Offensive
Egypt is attempting a last ditch effort to reach a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel at a moment IDF shelling of Rafah has intensified, in what are seen as 'softening' operations ahead of an imminent ground offensive, despite international calls to cancel the operation.
The Egyptian government on Friday (April 26) dispatched a high level delegation to Israel led by top intelligence official Abbas Kamel. The Associated Press reported he is presenting a "new vision" for prolonged ceasefire.
But key to a breakthrough is agreement on the remaining Israeli hostages being released, and the two sides seem no closer to achieving that. The Wall Street Journal cites that "Egyptian officials familiar with the negotiations say the talks toward a hostage deal have little chance of success, but hope to use the meetings to buy time for the U.S. and regional powers to pressure Israel to pause its plans to attack Rafah."
While things heat up in the south of the Strip, the IDF has reportedly allowed many displaced Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza "with minimum restrictions."
According to more via WSJ: "The main stumbling block in the negotiations now is Hamas’s demand that any deal include a credible path to a permanent cease-fire, rather than a temporary pause in the fighting, according to Egyptian and other officials familiar with the negotiations."
As for Egypt, it is bracing for a likely massive refugee influx across its border and into Sinai should an all-out Rafah assault be unleashed. Both Egypt and Israel have been establishing camps; however, these would likely reach and overflow in capacity within 24 hours of a Rafah ground operation.

US Troops Begin Building Gaza Port Ahead of Israel’s Rafah Invasion
The Israeli prime minister has suggested the US built port could assist in ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza
US troops have begun construction of a maritime port off the coast of Gaza, the Pentagon said on 26 April, as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians face further displacement ahead of Israel’s anticipated invasion of Rafah....
US President Joe Biden announced the building of the port on 7 March, claiming it would allow a large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza as the threat of famine loomed.
However, the plan to build the port was first suggested to Biden by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 22 October, shortly after the war began, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Speaking at a private meeting of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Security Committee on 20 March, Netanyahu suggested the port could also facilitate the removal of Palestinians from Gaza, Kan News reported.
“As far as the State of Israel is concerned, there is no obstacle for the Gazans to leave, maybe even the port they are building could be used for this, but there are no countries in the world that are ready to receive them,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu’s statement raises fears the port could be used to expel Palestinians who have nowhere to flee ahead of Israel’s long-planned invasion of Rafah on the Gaza–Egypt border.
At the time of Biden’s 7 March announcement of the pier, Israeli officials were blocking most aid deliveries to Gaza overland by truck. A week before the announcement, the Israeli army fired into a crowd of hungry and starving people seeking to receive sacks of flour at Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. Israeli fire and the subsequent stampede it caused killed 118.
Reuters reports that a senior White House official said humanitarian aid reaching the pier by sea “will need to pass through Israeli checkpoints on land. That is despite the aid having already been inspected by Israel in Cyprus prior to being shipped to Gaza.”
Israel claims it wants to prevent any aid from getting to Hamas fighters that would allow them to keep fighting occupying Israeli forces.
Reuters adds that Israeli checkpoints at the pier “raises questions about possible delays even after aid reaches shore. The United Nations has long complained of obstacles to getting aid in and distributing it throughout Gaza.”

The Biggest Banking EleFiat in the Room: The Federal Reserve Requirement — Or The Lack of One
How the Federal Reserve Ratio Change Down to ZERO PERCENT in 2020 Contributed to The Crisis Unfolding Today
The Silicon Valley Bank(SVB) collapse happened, sending shockwaves of worry throughout the banking industry and finance sector as more bank failures followed...Credit Suisse(CS) was sold to UBS, who was forced by the Swiss government to buy the company in March at a “price per share marked a 99% decline from Credit Suisse’s peak in 2007.”
Silvergate and Signature Banks also failed, and rumors persist around Deutsche Bank and First Republic Bank.
But there is little discussion about the root issue —Fractional Reserve Banking.. More specifically: Undefined “Fractional” Reserve Banking.
You might be asking, “Why is that ‘fractional’ in quotes?”
Because….
The reserve ratio was lowered to an unprecedented figure of 0% in 2020..
