Al Jazeera:
"At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus, an investigation by the Reuters news agency has found.

Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vaccination campaign, Reuters reported in a story released on Friday. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation. ...

The Pentagon tailored the campaign to local audiences across Central Asia and the Middle East using a combination of fake social media accounts on multiple platforms to spread fear of China’s vaccines among Muslims at a time when the virus was killing tens of thousands of people each day."

-->The NYT didn't cover this story, probably because it shows the disregard the Pentagon has for the rest of the world. Its the same mindset that sends 2 ton bombs to the genocide in Gaza.

Common Dreams:
"Israeli prison officials are concealing information about reductions in food rations for Palestinians held in the Gaza Strip, where detainees—who have also reported horrific abuse including alleged rape and deadly torture—have been deliberately driven 'to the point of starvation,' according to a report published Thursday.

Security sources told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the Israel Prison Service (IPS) is intentionally cutting Palestinian prisoners' caloric intake, a move confirmed by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who called the policy a 'deterrent.' ...

Former detainees said groups of 10-20 Israeli civilians were allowed to record torture sessions in which the men, stripped nearly naked, were beaten with metal batons, electrocuted, and had hot water poured over their heads. The ex-prisoners said some of the Israelis laughed while filming their torture."

-->The NYT and most of the mainstream media wouldn't touch this story either. It shows the depravity of the apartheid state, a lawless killer pretending to be the Jewish religion. In truth, Israel is a failed colonial state being manipulated by the US Pentagon.

The Guardian UK:
"Norway pension fund sells $69m stake in Caterpillar over alleged involvement in Gaza destruction.

Norway’s largest pension fund has cut ties with Caterpillar due to the US bulldozer company’s alleged contribution to the construction of illegal settlements and other human rights violations by Israel’s armed forces in the West Bank and Gaza.

[The pension fund] took the decision to divest its $69m stake in the Texas-based industrial manufacturing group earlier this month after Caterpillar failed to provide satisfactory assurances that it was taking action to reduce the risk of its equipment being used by the Israeli military against Palestinians in violation of international law."

-->Readers of the NYT will be surprised when the apartheid state of Israel collapses. Our "newspaper of record" didn't report this story, nor did most of the US media. But the divestment against Israel's genocide will keep eating away at this failed state. Some day, it will fall and its leaders moved to the International Criminal Court.
