US Deploys Military Assets to Middle East: What We Know
Published Oct 01, 2025
A massive wave of U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers has moved into the Middle East, marking one of the largest aerial refueling deployments in recent months. Flight tracking shows aircraft departing from Atlantic bases and converging on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, headquarters of U.S. Central Command.https://www.newsweek.com/us-deploys-military-asset...‘It’s Humiliating!’ Tucker Carlson Rages Over Netanyahu ‘Controlling’ US and Trump
Mediaite Wed, September 24, 2025 at 9:08 AM EDT
Bibi’s running around — this is a fact, I’m not guessing about this because I talked to people he said it to — is running around the Middle East, his region in his own country and telling people point blank, just stating it, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.” He’s saying that — and again I’m not guessing at all, that’s a fact. I dare them to say that’s not true because it is true. They know it’s true. I’m an American. How do you think it makes me feel even if I didn’t vote for Trump, which I did, I campaigned for Trump, but even if I even if was Joe Biden. I’m an American, you can’t treat — It’s too humiliating. I can’t handle that, and I shouldn’t have to put up with that.
He referred to Israel’s war as an “expansion” and accused critics of only responding to his critiques by getting personal and labeling him a “bigot.”
“They just scream at you and call you names, and I guess I’m just blessed because I don’t believe that about myself, so that doesn’t hurt me,” Carlson said. “You know, if they said, well you’ve gained 10 pounds, you might hurt my feelings. But calling me a bigot doesn’t because I know that I’m not.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/humiliating-tu...Israeli officers commandeered Pentagon meetings during June’s Israel-Iran war: Tucker Carlson
Thursday, 02 October 2025
Israeli officers stormed meetings at the Pentagon during June’s Israel-Iran war, issuing orders unchecked while Trump administration officials stood by doing nothing, says a former Fox News host, raising fresh questions about foreign influence on US military decisions.https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/10/02/756134/Pa...Remember that ICC arrest warrant for "Bibi"? A candidate for mayor of NYC says that, if Netanyahu set foot in NYC, he would act on that warrant, and arrest him for war crimes. So, now, that candidate is being painted as "anti-Semitic". This is Kathryn Wylde, Partnership for New York City president and CEO, saying that the "anti-Semitic" narrative, is the biggest issue in the mayoral race. The relevant part starts around the 6:30 mark in the interview.
NYC has proven to be resilient enough to survive bad mayors and public policies, says Kathy Wyldehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VTBP2nIRosMake of all this, what you will.

In between a report from Newsweek, and the assessment by Kathryn Wylde.
As I said, make of it what you will.

Inside Israel’s ‘Esther Project’: Justice Dept. filing exposes secret influencer PR campaign
The filings reveal that a firm called Bridges Partners LLC has been hired to manage an influencer network under a project code-named the “Esther Project.” It is unclear if there is any link to Project Esther, a plan to combat antisemitism published by the Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank.
Attached documents show that the firm, owned by Israeli consultants Uri Steinberg and Yair Levi, was formed in June 2025 in Delaware and soon after received nearly $200,000 to recruit and coordinate US-based social media influencers.
The contracts allow for up to $900,000 in payments over several months and include a detailed pricing schedule: $60,000 in upfront payments to cover influencer recruitment and concept development, another $140,000 in development-phase payments as five or six influencers began posting, and monthly allocations of up to $250,000 earmarked for influencer fees, production, and agency costs. A final $50,000 was budgeted for wrap-up and post-campaign reporting.https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-869219I wonder how their payment scale for USian "influencers", compares with the FSB's?
I wonder if the UK's recent recognition of Palestine amped up the vitriol?
Israeli officials rip ‘weak’ UK government for Manchester synagogue attack: ‘Failed to…curb this toxic wave of antisemitism’
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called out Starmer’s leadership directly and asserted that the Jewish community expects “a change of course” away from “anti-Israeli incitement.”
“The truth must be told: blatant and rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement, as well as calls of support for terror, have recently become a widespread phenomenon in the streets of London, in cities across Britain, and on its campuses. The authorities in Britain have failed to take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist,” he wrote on X.https://nypost.com/2025/10/02/world-news/israeli-o...So, what is the UK supposed to do? Throw everyone who utters anything even slightly negative toward Israel in prison?
Make of this what you will.
