Iran has announced that the country’s energy infrastructure was hit by a massive cyberattack on Tuesday, which left state subsidized gas stations across the country out of commission, resulting in very long lines of cars observed waiting to fill up in many towns and cities.

The timing is interesting given it happened near the two year anniversary mark of deadly nationwide protests following serious gas shortages and price hikes in the fall of 2019. The ‘activist’ nature of the hack is further revealed in that Iranian media is reporting that a message showed up in national computer systems that were hacked that addressed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the words, “where is the gas?”  Continue reading “Gas Stations Across Iran Crippled After Massive Cyberattack”

COVID-19 was the most lucrative virus in perhaps the history of pharmaceuticals. After receiving government (taxpayer) funds through Operation Warp Speed to develop these mRNA vaccines, the main players are raking in billions. This vaccine was never meant to eradicate the virus – the coronavirus will always exist and it’s here to stay. It’s a virus that’s contagious to both animals and humans. We could never completely eliminate the virus even if everyone wore protective suits indoors 24/7 and received ongoing vaccines.

The big picture: No government entity shall impose any agreement demanding that an employee get vaccinated, Ivey’s executive order says. It adds that state employees will not be required to present vaccination proof to receive any sort of government service or to enter a government building.

On Monday, President Joe Biden’s White House announced that airlines will need to check with U.S.-bound travelers for proof of vaccine or a negative COVID-19 test when international travel restrictions are lifted next month. These travelers will also need to provide contact information to federal officials.

This comes weeks after the Biden administration announced that it will be lifting COVID-19 travel restrictions that banned most visitors from dozens of countries, including the U.K. and Brazil, on November 8, according to CNBC. Donald Trump put these rules in place in early 2020 at the start of the pandemic, and Biden extended them earlier this year.

The CEO of one of the world’s largest shipping companies is calling for governments to step in and take action to fix the global supply chain crisis and prevent delays and shortages from rolling on beyond the end of next year.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Jeremy Nixon, CEO of freight company Ocean Network Express, said that local governments need to increase spending on critical parts of the supply chain – including ports, railways, warehouses, and roads – to increase capacity and cope with ongoing demand. Ocean Network Express has a fleet of 220 ships and transports more than 6% of the world’s containerized freight, according to the FT.

For a country that practices apartheid, defies international law, and engages in ethnic cleansing, Israel is popular in the US Congress. During just about 125 days in session, the houses of Congress managed to entertain more than 70 new pieces of legislation pandering to Israel.

It is no coincidence that the pro-Israel lobby is arguably the most pervasive and influential lobby in the U.S. – and that Israel partisans, many of them billionaires, make massive campaign donations to both parties.  Continue reading “Congress has introduced over 70 pieces of Israel-centric legislation so far in 2021”
