"New US Attempt to Assassinate Venezuela President, Vice President, other leaders Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, reported on the arrest of 14 mercenaries linked to a plan to assassinate Venezuelan leaders. A large batch of US-made weapons, a total of 400 rifles and pistols were seized. He added that, when these weapons were sent from the United States, the FBI had inspected the package but did not confiscate the weapons nor arrest anyone, showing a video to back up his allegations. These people had messages on their phones about the acquisition of C4 explosives to start rebellions in prisons and break prisons to join the terrorists. ...
Minister Diosdado Cabello reported the arrest of a US Navy SEAL and two Spanish citizens allegedly linked to intelligence agencies. They are accused of plotting to assassinate President Maduro and other high-ranking Venezuelan officials. In front of some of the 400 seized firearms linked to the plot, Cabello accused Wilbert Joseph Castañeda, an active duty US sailor, of leading the effort on behalf of US intelligence. “Castañeda is the head of the operation, placed here by the CIA. The US is behind this operation. The US is handing over these firearms, they allow them to freely circulate so they can arrive in Venezuela and be used in an operation.” Cabello said security forces also uncovered a conspiracy to launch grenades at the Argentinian Embassy in Caracas to generate a diplomatic incident to be blamed on the Maduro government."

The Guardian UK:
Prestigious US universities are raking in millions of dollars from fossil fuel interests, raising concerns about conflicts of interest. And one university even appears to have owned a petroleum company from which it has earned millions of dollars, according to a spate of new reports produced by student organizers.
The six analyses, released Wednesday, focus on American University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Princeton University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and University of California, San Diego. They were written by campus organizers at each respective institution and released by Campus Climate Network, an international student-led coalition that is pushing colleges to cut ties with big oil.
'Fossil fuel companies are hijacking our universities to perpetuate their own toxic industry, and we students are not having it anymore,' Will Kattrup, a research lead at Campus Climate Network, said on Wednesday.
The researchers scraped tax forms for publicly disclosed donations to universities from oil companies’ charitable arms, scoured schools’ boards for names linked to fossil fuel interests and tracked conflict of interest statements in published academic articles to document fossil fuel funding. Students from public universities also filed public information requests to obtain additional financial information."

Aljazeera:
"A source close to the Ministry of Economy cited a senior government official as saying it had stopped work on approving export licences for arms to Israel due to legal and political pressure from legal cases arguing that such exports from Germany breached humanitarian law.The ministry has not responded to requests for comment. However, the German government did issue a statement after the Reuters story was published.
'There is no German arms export boycott against Israel,' government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit said.
Last year, Germany approved arms exports to Israel worth 326.5 million euros ($363.5m), including military equipment and war weapons, a 10-fold increase from 2022, according to data from the Economy Ministry, which approves export licences.
However, approvals have dropped this year, with only 14.5 million euros worth ($16.1m) granted from January to August 21, according to data provided by the Economy Ministry in response to a parliamentary question."

-->Newsworthy? Certainly is, because Germany has been a country that is arming the genocide in Gaza. Have't those Germans learned anything? Well, the NYT hasn't anyway. Our newspaper of record disappeared this story.
