🚨CNN Suggests Weaponry Found in Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital ‘Rearranged’ by Israeli Army
Fox News, BBC videos show different number of guns at Al-Shifa Hospital than those published by Israeli army
An analysis Saturday by CNN did not exclude the possibility that the Israeli army "rearranged" weapons it claimed to have found at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City before the international media were allowed to visit the site.
CNN said that according to a Nov. 15 video published by Israeli army spokesperson Jonathan Concricus, an AK-47 gun was seen behind an MRI machine in one of the buildings in the Al-Shifa Hospital complex.
But when Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst visited the site, he filmed two AK-47 guns behind the MRI machine, not one as appeared in the earlier video by the Israeli army.
"It is unclear where the second AK-47 gun came from and why it is not visible in the earlier IDF clip," said CNN.
It noted in its analysis that BBC was also granted access to the MRI room at the hospital and filmed the two AK-47 guns.

❗️Yemeni Armed Forces seize Israel-linked ship, 'Galaxy Leader', with dozens of crew members on board.
Hebrew media reported that the ship is owned by a British company, and the majority of the company belongs to an Israeli businessman.
The Israeli army issued an official statement and considered the incident "very serious." The statement confirmed that the ship is not Israeli.

Atlantic Council: CBDCs Will Further Fragment the Global Economy—and Could Threaten the Dollar
By the end of 2023, over 130 central banks representing 98 percent of global GDP will have initiated programs to develop central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In the next five to seven years, it is reasonable to expect that quite a few of those countries will have issued CBDCs either in wholesale or retail formats. In 2023, policymakers quickly moved past proof of concept, delivering pilots across a range of jurisdictions.
CBDC initiatives continued to gather momentum during the first half of 2023 as noted in the Atlantic Council’s CBDC Tracker:

I cannot disagree. While I still believe there will be tunnels under the hospital, I'm disappointed with what's been presented so far.
Let's give the IDF more time, Hamas had well over a decade to build and hide these tunnels. If no evidence is presented this month, my BS meter will begin to rise.

Yemeni armed forces' spokesman Yahya Saree:
The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation in the Red Sea, the result of which was the seizure of an Israeli ship.
We renew our warning to all ships belonging to the Israeli enemy or linked to it that they will become a legitimate target.
We call on all countries to refrain from any work or activity with Israeli ships or ships owned by Israelis in the Red Sea.
We will continue to carry out military operations against the Israeli enemy until the aggression against the Gaza Strip stops.
Who threatens the security and stability of the region and international corridors is the Israeli enemy.
If the international community is concerned about the security and stability of the region and don't want the conflict to expand, it should stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
We only threaten the ships of the Israeli entity and those owned by Israelis, as we indicated in a previous statement.

BMJ Investigation: The FDA and Moderna’s Cosy Relationship: How LAX Rules Enable a Revolving Door Culture
Feature BMJ Investigation —After holding oversight roles for covid vaccines, two regulators from the US Food and Drug Administration went to work for Moderna. Peter Doshi reports:
"The physician-scientist Doran Fink worked his way up at the Food and Drug Administration, with a focus on the regulation of vaccines. Starting as a clinical reviewer in 2010, he was promoted to lead medical officer in the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, overseeing a small team of medical officers responsible for infectious diseases and related biological products.
During the covid-19 pandemic Fink took on a public role, appearing in numerous FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee meetings to discuss covid vaccines and serving on the senior leadership team for covid vaccine review and policy activities. Part of his role was to engage vaccine manufacturers to advise on the development of vaccines during the pandemic. In mid-2020 Fink announced the FDA’s expectations for any covid vaccine that the agency would consider authorising, and he took part in the ultimate decision to license the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Fink’s LinkedIn profile states that he finished his role at the FDA in December 2022. Two months later he was working at Moderna, heading the translational medicine and early clinical development programme in infectious diseases. He is one of two regulators The BMJ has found to have recently moved to Moderna from the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review."

The Israelis are pushing Palestinians further and further south until they can force Egypt to take them. Then they will target the West Bank where they’ll claim Hamas was somehow able to run off to. They’ll attempt the same strategy pushing everyone into Jordan. The worst part will be all the people who continue to justify the brutality.

Will Israeli Military Find Tunnels and a Bunker Under Al-Shifa? Yes.
They built it themselves back in 1983 when the Israeli military ruled Gaza.
Any such finding, in and of itself, will not justify Israel’s barbaric bombing and raid of the hospital. Israel has still not presented any proof that Hamas has been using the hospital or the bunker that Israel built as its “command and control.” Both local and foreign doctors have denied any such allegation and Israel rejected offers to have an international delegation inspect.
Instead it raided the hospital, after detaining and removing all journalist. There is no one to document except the military itself which will show you what it wants the world to believe.

What’s Next for Ukraine: The Outlines of a Peaceful Settlement
As Ukraine’s counteroffensive begins to unravel, it is not clear that the hundreds of thousands of deaths already suffered have purchased any of its goals.
Ukraine is not in NATO, and it has not received any firm assurance that it will ever be. All that has happened is that the fifteen year old promise that Ukraine will some day become a member of NATO has been updated to a promise that Ukraine will “join the Alliance when Allies agree and conditions are met.” Recognizing the ruse, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has bitterly complained that “It’s unprecedented and absurd when time frame is not set neither for the invitation nor for Ukraine’s membership. While at the same time vague wording about ‘conditions’ is added even for inviting Ukraine.”
Ukraine is not whole. It has not pushed Russia off its land or reacquired any significant amount of contested territory. Donbass and Crimea remain firmly in Russia’s control. No Ukrainian advance severed Crimea from the mainland. Indeed, as the New York Times pointed out at the end of September, during this counteroffensive Ukraine actually lost more territory than it gained.
As a result, Ukraine is not in any better position to negotiate, as US president Biden promised it would be a year and a half ago. Instead, it is in a far worse bargaining position now than it was during the first weeks of the war, when it initialed a tentative ceasefire agreement with Russia promising to forgo NATO membership in exchange for a Russian withdrawal to its prewar position. At that point, Ukraine could have ended the conflict with relatively few casualties, and its miliary and infrastructure still intact, but the US blocked peace efforts and urged Ukrainian leaders to fight on in pursuit of US goals, according to several sources who were present at the talks, or in a position to know.
And yet, the US has no more achieved any of its goals than has Ukraine. It has not seen Russia’s militarily weakened, a goal Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin identified. Indeed, several Western analysts have suggested that Russia is now stronger militarily than it was in April 2022.
Nor has Russia been “devastated by sanctions” as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen promised; its economy has, instead, grown. General Valery Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, even stated recently that “the capabilities of [Russia’s] military industry are increasing, despite the introduction by the world’s leading countries of unprecedented sanctions against the aggressor state.” There has been no uprising in Russia against the war; not even a perceptible dent in Putin’s domestic popularity. And, to add insult to injury, Russia is far from isolated diplomatically, as shown by the lackluster international response to calls to boycott Russia, and the growing interest in multipolar international organizations favored by Russia like BRICS.
