Sanhedrin makes stunning claim: Persia’s founding prophet was biblical Mordechai
The Sanhedrin issued a formal letter to the Iranian people this week, making a claim that rewrites ancient history: the prophet Zoroaster, founder of Persia’s ancient religion, was none other than Mordechai the Jew— and the Iranian people are being called to remember it. The letter, dated the 17th of Iyar, 5786, is signed “the Elder Brother, the Rabbis of the Mount Zion Sanhedrin Court” and opens with a verse that frames everything that follows: Current events have made the Persian King Cyrus the Great and his Biblical status relevant to regional politics. For Iranians, Cyrus the Great — Koresh in Hebrew — is not merely a historical figure. He is the founding father of Persian civilization,

Trump: Iran badly wants a deal and has agreed not to have nuclear weapons
He pointed out that Iran “had a Navy with 159 ships, and now every ship is blown to pieces and lying at the bottom of the water. They had an Air Force, lots of planes, and they don’t have any planes. They don’t have any anti-aircraft. They don’t have any radar left. Their missiles are mostly decimated. They have some. They have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had. And their leaders are all dead. So I think we won.” “Now we have to get what we have to get. If we don’t do that, we’ll have to go a big step further.

3 patients are being evacuated to Europe from cruise ship with hantavirus outbreak
Among the patients being evacuated is the ship’s doctor who earlier was in “serious condition” but has improved, Spain’s health ministry said. The company has also told The Associated Press the doctor is in stable condition. The Dutch foreign ministry said the three being evacuated were a 56-year-old British national, a 41-year-old Dutch national and a 65-year-old German national who would be “immediately transferred to specialized hospitals in Europe.” Meanwhile, authorities in Switzerland said a former passenger of the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius luxury cruise ship was being treated at a Zurich university hospital after testing positive for the Andes strain, which WHO says may spread between people.

What is everyone misunderstanding about US intelligence report on Iran nuclear threat? – analysis
Some media outlets are putting this information out in ways that attempt to question whether the wars were worth it. While that question might be more debatable from an American point of view, from an Israeli point of view, both wars were clearly worthwhile. Prior to June 2025, Israel had faced two potential, relatively imminent existential threats from Iran: its nuclear weapons and the growth of its ballistic missile arsenal beyond a volume that Israel could handle on defense.

French senate adopts proposed law aimed at combating Islamist infiltration
The French Senate has adopted a proposed law aimed at combating Islamist infiltration (208-124). The bill, brought by former interior minister Bruno Retailleau, aims to create a criminal offense for undermining the principles of the Republic. It penalizes coordinated actions aimed at leading a public or private body to adopt decisions or practices contrary to the law, with the established aim of seriously undermining constitutionally defined principles of the Republic.

In webinar with current and former UN staff, anti-Israel coalition admits secret coordination with US-sanctioned group
Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, executive secretary of the Hague Group, seemed to think that she was speaking confidentially during a webinar last Thursday, during which she said that the “Hague Group and South Africa and Colombia’s co-chairs are advised by a variety of Palestinian organizations,” from “Al Haq to Al-Shabaka, both based in Ramallah, some operating in secret without the names being published elsewhere.” Marco Rubio, U.S. secretary of state, announced American sanctions against Al Haq and two other organizations on Sept. 4 for being “directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court to investigate, arrest, detain or prosecute Israeli nationals, without Israel’s consent.”

Iran Oil Official In Surprise Admission: ‘Fate Of Our Refineries Now At Risk’ As US Blockade Begins To Bite
The blockade has halted Iran’s oil exports, choking off crucial revenues, and the country risks running out of places to store its oil. It is also affecting the import of other goods, forcing Iran to seek alternative routes through neighboring countries and its smaller ports on the Caspian Sea. And the economic pain inside Iran, already dire before the war, is becoming much worse. “The sea blockade is a much more serious threat than even war,

Canadian Prime Minister Is Playing A Very Dangerous Game
Anyone who has ever dealt with a toxic narcissist understands the psychology behind their manipulative language, words and intents. What Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing here is very dangerous, particularly for the Canadian people. After a year of increased provocative language intended to confront President Trump for U.S. nationalist policy changes on economics, trade and security, Prime Minister Carney travelled to Europe where he again delivered strong remarks saying that Europe is now the center of the “rules based international order,” the western government control mechanisms that have maintained economic and security relationships for the past one-hundred years. Essentially, Carney, after saying the USA was no longer a reliable or obedient partner,

Scientists Reveal Time Travel Could Work
Researchers have proposed a theoretical approach that could allow messages to be sent into the past using principles from quantum mechanics. Indeed, it could be happening right now already! The concept does not enable physical travel through time but focuses on information transfer through causal loops at the quantum scale. The concept relies on closed time-like curves (CTCs), paths allowed by general relativity where something could theoretically return to its own past.

Megadrought: We Just Experienced the Driest First Three Months of a Year In U.S. History
In U.S. history, conditions have never been so dry during the first 3 months of the year, even during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s. Many hoped that in 2026 our multi-year drought would finally break. That hasn’t happened. Scientists say the southwestern U.S. is in the midst of the worst multi-year drought in at least 1,200 years.

Humanity’s Future: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Great Earthquakes
If you ask 1,000 random people on the street what the future of humanity will be like, you’ll probably get 1,000 different answers.

Hantavirus: Another PsyOp?
In recent days, it’s been all over the news. The discredited World Health Organization is attempting to justify its existence by managing a highly publicized Hantavirus “outbreak” on a cruise ship. The whole debacle is reminiscent of the Diamond Princess in February 2020, shortly before WHO declared the falsified COVID pandemic.

Communist Rhetoric – Dangerous 
Communists killed 148 million people in the last century. The Cold War ended Soviet Communism. Communist China still oppresses hundreds of millions. How can America – founded on individual liberty, “land of the free and home of the brave” – now be awash in Communist rhetoric? Shockingly, that is where we are. From Colorado and Minnesota to New York and Maine, rudderless, dependent, and often violent Communists push class warfare, property taking, and far-left ideology. “At the center of the May Day mobilization …is a network of communist, socialist, Marxist and other far-left organizations… Democratic Socialists of America … People’s Forum, Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition, and Code Pink… funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham

Trump Expands Access to Retirement Savings for American Workers 
Thanks to a new executive order from President Donald Trump, millions of American workers could have greater access to retirement savings that empower them to thrive as they age – and some could even receive matching contributions from the federal government. Currently, about 54 million Americans don’t have access to an employer-based retirement plan like a 401(k), which often includes an employer match on contributions. Trump’s order aims to change that by instructing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to create a new website called TrumpIRA.gov which will “allow workers to filter and compare IRAs based on cost, quality, and investment options.”

Doctors twice offer euthanasia to Catholic priest in Canada
In Canada, a Catholic priest from Vancouver stated that while receiving treatment in a hospital, he was twice offered euthanasia, despite doctors knowing about his religious beliefs and negative attitude toward such practice.

The interception marks the first known operational use of Israeli-controlled air defense hardware on foreign soil during an active conflict.

Dawkins Mocked Religion For Years, Now Believes AI Has “Consciousness”
Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist and author of The God Delusion, has just spent close to two days in conversation with Anthropic’s Claude and emerged saying he can no longer confidently dismiss the possibility that the AI chatbot is conscious. Let’s Data Science, citing Dawkins’s UnHerd essay and related coverage, said he described the exchange in Turing-test-like terms, and South Korea’s Chosun quotes Dawkins declaring “I believe artificial intelligence has consciousness”. Dawkins Spent Years Mocking God But Now Believes In The Claude AI Model.

The IRGC Shifts Iran’s Real Power from the Supreme Leader to Its Own Command
Mojtaba Khamenei’s selection as Supreme Leader has sharply limited his authority, making his role largely symbolic, as he now primarily endorses, rather than drives, state decisions. Senior security officials state that Israeli intelligence agencies have now assembled a comprehensive assessment of who truly controls Iran. Evidently, Mojtaba Khamenei remains hidden at an undisclosed location, known only to a select few, due to fears he could be targeted by Israel. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel may soon target Mojtaba Khamenei. On April 23, after a security briefing, Katz said: “We await a U.S. green light to eliminate the Khamenei dynasty and its successors.”

Jeff Bezos’ Moon Lander Just Completed a Key Test

DOJ Sues Minnesota To Block Climate Lawsuit Targeting Energy Companies
The complaint, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, accuses state officials of trying to impose their own climate policies on domestic energy producers in a way the DOJ says burdens national energy development and intrudes on federal authority. The underlying lawsuit was filed in 2020 by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison against Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, Koch Industries, and Koch subsidiary Flint Hills Resources. Minnesota brought the case under state consumer-protection laws, alleging that the companies engaged in fraud and deceptive business practices by misleading the public about “climate change and the role of fossil-fuel products in climate change.”

Alberta Separatists Say They Have Enough Signatures To Force Referendum On Leaving Canada
A group pushing for Alberta to break free from Canada announced Monday that it has submitted nearly double the number of signatures required to force a referendum — which could come as early as October. While Alberta Premier Danielle Smith opposes independence, she has assured Albertans that she will not try to thwart a referendum if the signature hurdle were cleared. Alberta has been on the wrong end of a Canadian policy called “Equalization” — a more palatable term than what it should be called: “Wealth Redistribution.” According to the Canadian government’s official description, Equalization “address[es] fiscal disparities among provinces.” It does so by distributing the fiscal fruits of federal taxation to provinces in such a way that poorer provinces get more money than more-prosperous ones. Alberta is easily Canada’s best-off province on a per-capita basis.

Trump says Iran should ‘wave the white flag of surrender,’ and its military strikes resemble ‘peashooters’

And who wouldn’t, when your military is totally gone?” he said.

The Truth About What Is Really Going on in The Strait of Hormuz
Iran is not telling the truth about what is going on in the Strait of Hormuz. Neither is the Pentagon. On Monday, a few commercial vessels were able to get through. On Tuesday, that dropped to zero. Closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is the greatest threat to the global economy. If it’s not reopened soon, it’ll be an unprecedented catastrophe for the world.

The 2026 Bee Crisis: What’s Happening and How You Can Help.
Beekeepers across the US reported losing over 48% of their managed colonies in the most recent annual survey, unthinkable 20 years ago. That’s not a one-year anomaly. Colony loss rates have hovered between 30%–50% for over a decade, and wild bee populations are declining faster than managed ones. We’re in the middle of a bee crisis, and it’s accelerating.

Worst spring drought in 131 years grips 63% of the US with no end in sight.
The facts aren’t in dispute: the US entered 2026 with the driest first quarter in over a century, and a majority of the Lower 48 is already in some stage of drought. Federal forecasters see dryness persisting, and, in many places, intensifying through spring, driven by low snowpack, parched soils, and an ocean pattern that offers no easy path to widespread relief.
