Anguish on the faces of Palestinians caused by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF). (Photo: Middle East Eye)
After the British mandate ended on 14 May 1948, Israel declared its independence. To commemorate the anniversary this year, the IDF killed 60 Palestinians and attacked a European hospital in the Gaza Strip.
With a massive heatwave about to set over Israel [temperatures reaching 46.5°C (115°F) in Eilat, 37°C (99°F) in Tel Aviv, 38°C (101°F) in Jerusalem], the UN reports that 75% of Gazans report a decline in water access over the past month, amid deteriorating sanitation conditions.
France President Emmanuel Macron called Netanyahu’s policies in Gaza ‘shameful’ and ‘unacceptable, but he has not yet recognized the State of Palestine. In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Dotard Trumpf fecklessly said that people in Gaza “deserve a much better future.”
Democratic and Republican Party Complicity
All of this Murder-Death-Kill of Palestinians has been bought and paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer who has been heavily subsidizing Israel since 1950. The US provided Israel with a record $17.9bn since 7 Oct 2023 alone. Both political parties are responsible for this wanton mayhem and suffering. In a previous post, Followers of the Watch heard the CEO of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) discuss how much they have infiltrated the national security apparatus of the Trumpf junta.
The mission of AIPAC is to ensure that neither the Democratic nor the Republican Party in the US, as well as other Western governments, recognize the State of Palestine. To this end they spread Islamophobic talking points and smear the Palestinian muqawama (resistance) as ‘terrorists.’
Palestinian fighters resorted to seizing hostages on 7 Oct 2023 in order to exchange them for any number of the thousands of their relatives being held by the IDF without trial or hearing in Israeli prisons. Amnesty International reported the number of Palestinians in Israeli military detention was at a record number before the infamous 7 Oct 2023 raid. In November 2023, prisoner exchanges took place. But Netanyahu stopped the prisoner trades and began the Nakba to keep his rightwing coalition happy, keep his corruption trial in abeyance, and split the Democratic Party bloc before the 5 November 2024– and the MIT graduate who understands American politics– succeeded. Netanyahu helped usher in fellow rightwing xenophobe Dotard Trumpf to the White House.
“Thanks very much!” “You’re welcome!”
As a red herring, one of the AIPAC talking points is that Arab-Americans that voted for Donald Trumpf are somehow to blame for all of this Murder-Death-Kill, like a rape victim being cross-examined in court why she wore a mini-skirt the day she was attacked. But only 21% of Arab-Americans voted for Dotard Trumpf and Palestinians make up only 1% of the Arab-American population. The plurality of Arab-Americans are of Lebanese descent (25%), a country that Israel devastated in 2024.
To this day, Democratic leaders and their supporters refuse to acknowledge that from 2020 to 2024 the Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes because of the unpopular Israeli destruction and ethnic cleansing in Gaza that took place every single day of the 2024 election year. Hubert Humphrey’s 1968 Democratic ticket also lost millions of voters they once had in 1964 because of the brutal and unpopular Saigon regime, as well as sending America’s youth to fight and die needlessly in Vietnam.
The ‘Saigon Execution’ is a 1968 photograph by Associated Press photojournalist Eddie Adams, taken during the Tet Offensive of the Vietnam War. South Vietnamese brigadier general Nguyễn Ngọc Loan shoots Viet Cong captain Nguyễn Văn Lém near the Ấn Quang Pagoda in Saigon. Antiwar Americans were sickened by the revolting Saigon regime and President Lyndon B. Johnson chose not to run for President again in 1968.
Followers of the Watch, whether a Democrat or Republican POTUS is in the White House makes no difference to Israeli policy as you can see from the map below.
Besides ensuring the continual flow of US funds to Israel and the State of Palestine remains unrecognized, AIPAC prefers US servicemembers to fight Israel’s enemies in the Middle East. This is why we saw Dotard Trumpf order USCENTCOM to bombard the starving Shia Houthis of Yemen.
That costly enterprise wasted one billion dollars and two multi-million dollar Super Hornet fighter jets with zero results. The Shia Houthis posted on social media: “Yemen defeats America.” This graffiti was photographed by journalist from AFP / East News:
An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the ICC remains active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trumpf Junta Completely Out of Control
AIPAC-supported politicians like Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was out at full force calling Qatar’s gift to Trumpf Hamas Force One, while other critics call it Bribe Force One. The reality is that Qatar is an ally of the US and hosts CENTCOM Forward at Al-Udied Air Base, but this doesn’t excuse the idiotic bribe from the al-Thani ruling clique. The family has been unable to sell this particular Boeing jumbo jet for several years, so rather than keep paying the exorbitant maintenance costs, they off-loaded it on Dotard Trumpf. The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) had sealed a deal for a five billion dollar golf resort in Qatar.
This new plane will take time and money to equip and test it to USAF and Presidential standards: Tempest proofing, defensive apparatus, extra fuel tanks, exhaustive air-worthiness checks, and counterintelligence sweeps for hidden devices. The legality of who owns this Flying Babylon is in question as the POTUS is a civil servant and Constitutionally prohibited from accepting personal gifts.

EPA Delays Limits on “Forever Chemicals” in Drinking Water
The Environmental Protection Agency is delaying the timeline for water utilities to comply with reducing some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS chemicals, in drinking water — and reconsidering the allowable levels for others.
PFAS are a class of thousands of chemicals that have been used for decades to waterproof and stainproof a variety of products including clothing, cosmetics, upholstery, and firefighting foams. They’re sometimes called “forever chemicals” because they contain strong molecular bonds that persist for decades. Long-term exposure to PFAS has been linked with harms to human health, such as certain cancers or damage to the liver and immune systems.
State of Florida Bans Fluoride in Public Water
Not to be outdone by Washington Republicans, Florida has become the second state to officially ban fluoride in public water. Utah was the first with this lunacy.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis called the fluoridation of water “forced medication,” saying it violates “informed consent.”
“The move to block fluoride has been decried by major health organizations, who warn that it would negatively affect residents’ health.”
Nota Bene: The governor of the Sunshine State is an Ivy League graduate like VPOTUS JD Vance.

Department of Homeland Security Requests National Guard Support for Mass Deportations
Many Americans escaped service in the Vietnam War by joining their state’s National Guard, like former Republican VPOTUS Dan Quayle. These citizen-soldiers from Ohio were deployed to Kent State University to quash student demonstrations.
Note Bene: This month marks exactly 55 years since Ohio Army National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed college students at Kent State University, killing four of them. No one was ever convicted for their murders.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr Swam in Sewage Tainted Creek

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr posted photographs of his grandchildren swimming and wading with him in sewage-tainted Rock Creek, Wash DC this past weekend. The creek is known for having a sewage overflow problem and posing a health hazard to any who enter it. The National Park Service, which manages the Rock Creek Park, strictly bars all use of the water there and the park’s other waterways due to the “high levels of fecal bacteria” and ‘infectious pathogens.’
Rock Creek Environmental Reports: Link One Link Two
What RFK Jr did by this imbecility in Rock Creek is called endangering the welfare of a child: www.findlaw.com. This man needs serious psychiatric care and shame on the US Senate for confirming him to be Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). What we are witnessing is a junta out of control.

Lunatic Suspected in Killing 50 Birds in San Francisco Area
Photo: Tim Graham / Getty Images
Since Feb 2025, more than 50 birds have been killed in the vicinity of Bernhard Avenue in Richmond, north of Berkeley, CA. Several witnesses describe hearing a loud crack before the birds plunge to the ground, and one homeowner described how the creatures “explode” on impact in “traumatic” scenes. Many of the homeowners fear a power line running across the street could be malfunctioning and electrocuting the birds.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife conducted necropsies and confirmed that the bird’s injuries were consistent with trauma from a pellet gun, BB gun, or a slingshot, not electrocution from power lines.
As if these harmless birds aren’t already ecologically threatened by pesticides, drought, and pollution, some maniac is killing them with a BB or pellet gun. Shooting at power lines is not a good idea either. Note that Rachel Carson’s classic book will be 63 years old this year.
At times like this, Coriolanus wishes he wasn’t retired but is confident the heinous perpetrator will be caught.

Texas Mother Arrested on Terrorism Charges
Ashley Pardo mugshot.
Ashley Pardo (33) is accused of buying ammunition, tactical gear, and supplies for her son who was planning a mass casualty attack at a San Antonio, Texas school. This maniac was arrested and charged with aiding in commission of terrorism after a relative tipped off police. Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School went on high alert and her son was detained without incident. A homemade explosive device was recovered; written on it was “For Brenton Tarrant,” a white supremacist who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019. Reportedly Ashley Pardo was reimbursing her son for baby-sitting his younger siblings with these lethal purchases.
‘Pardo was well-aware of her son’s “violent expressions and drawings,” and had been warned in the past by police, Child Protective Services, and the school district. Not only was Pardo not troubled by his behavior, she “expressed to the school her support” of it.’
Remarkably, Ms. Pardo made $75,000 bond and is now on pre-trial supervised release.
In an average year, 4,330 people die by guns in Texas. Firearm licenses in 2021: 1,006,555. 45.7% of Texan adults live in homes with firearms. Throughout the US, every eleven minutes someone is killed with a firearm.
An arrest or indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Serial Killer Praises Dotard Trumpf Before Execution
Glen Rogers circa 1995. (Photo: public domain)
Glen Rogers, dubbed the “Casanova Killer”, saved his last words for President Dotard Trumpf right before he was executed by lethal injection in Florida. “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go,” he said. Rogers (62) was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs. He stabbed the mother-of-two to death in a motel room after they met in a bar. Glen Rogers is suspected of having committed several other murders and was also known as the “Cross Country Killer” because the victims all lived in different states: Florida, California, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
That a serial killer would praise racist, greedy oligarch Dotard Trumpf speaks volumes about the type of people that support the current president. Critically important though is that by executing Glen Rogers, authorities lose a source of information about other murders he may have committed that remain unsolved. Rogers may have traded information for better accommodations, increased visitation rights, or any other minor benefit a prison might afford. The FBI and local investigators can’t interview his corpse.

UN: Russia Responsible for Shooting Down Malaysian Airlines Flight MH-17
The UN aviation agency ICAO ruled that Russia was responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17 over eastern Ukraine in July 2014. All 298 passengers were killed when it was shot down by a Russian-made missile. The Kremlin has always denied any responsibility for the air disaster. 196 Dutch, 38 Australians, as well as Belgian, Malaysian, and British nationals on board. This represents the first time in ICAO’s history that its Council has made a determination on the merits of a dispute between Member States under the Organization’s dispute settlement mechanism.
An international arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

German Security Agencies Neutralizing Threats
Three Russian Aviation Saboteurs Detained
German counterintelligence agents rendered a Russian terrorist ring ineffective. Three Ukrainian nationals were plotting parcel bomb attacks on cargo planes in Germany on behalf of Russia. Vladyslav T, Daniil B, and Yevhen B, were detained in Germany and Switzerland, accused of “secret agent activity for sabotage purposes.”
The explosive devices were rigged to ignite in mid-air using pre-set timers repurposed from inexpensive Chinese electronics typically used for tracking lost items. Their impact was intensified by tubes disguised as cosmetics, which were filled with a flammable gel containing compounds such as nitromethane. In July 2024, European security agencies were shaken by three separate explosions in packages sent from Lithuania, which detonated in Birmingham, UK; Leipzig, Germany; and near Warsaw, Poland. Germany is the second-largest national supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the US and has pledged unwavering support of Kiev.
Richard Moore, the head of MI6, warned in Nov 2024 that the Kremlin was waging a “staggeringly reckless campaign” of sabotage in Europe while also increasing its nuclear saber-rattling to scare off other countries from backing Ukraine.

Far-Right Group Banned; Four Leaders Arrested
The so-called “Kingdom of Germany” was proclaimed by its leader Peter Fitzek, who was among those arrested. The group may have as many as 6,000 rightwing followers.
The new German government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz banned the largest “Reich citizen” group in the country. This is an extremist far-right organization that calls itself the “Kingdom of Germany” and seeks to undermine the country’s democratic order. Hundreds of security forces in several states searched the association’s properties and the homes of leading members, arresting four of them. “The members of this association have created a “counter-state” in our country and built up economic criminal structures,” said the Interior Minister, adding that the group propagated antisemitic conspiracy narratives. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is the German analog to the US FBI.

UK: MI6 Will Appoint Woman to Lead Agency for First Time
Ambassador Barbara Woodward of the UK Mission to the UN condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and expressed concern for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. She called for a ceasefire and criticized Palestinian resistance fighters. Dame Woodward also urged Israel to increase aid to Gaza and improve aid distribution. She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, but was criticized for not being tough enough on China while she was posted there. Dame Woodward will have her hands busy dealing with Chinese espionage, Russia sabotage, and a less cordial relationship with CIA who had its first female director in 2018, Gina Haspel, an experienced clandestine services officer.

Russia Update
Vladimir Putin Fires Commander-in-Chief of Russian Ground Forces
General Oleg Selyukov.
General Oleg Selyukov was fired by presidential decree on 15 May. He had been in this position since 2014 and commanded the Victory Parade on Red Square on 9 May. Vladimir Putin moved Selyukov to be deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council under Sergey Shoigu.
Putin refused to meet Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky in Istanbul this week, so that whole affair was a monumental waste of time and money. But it gave the diplomats the opportunity to enjoy delicious Turkish cuisine and hospitality while jabber-jawing at taxpayer expense.
Since Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, they have lost ~970,590 military personnel (plus 1,220 over the last 24 hours), 372 aircraft, 337 helicopters, and 10,820 tanks.
An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Australia: Toxic Algae Bloom Kills 200 Species of Sealife
Toxins produced by the algae cause gill and tissue damage by attacking the red blood cells. The large density of the bloom also means that oxygen is being taken out of the water, suffocating marine life like this shark above.
A vast bloom of toxic algae is killing more than 200 species of marine life off the southern coast of Australia. The algae, Karenia mikimotoi, appeared in waters around South Australia in March, causing mass deaths in species including sharks, rays, crabs, and octopuses. Carcasses are littering the beaches of Kangaroo Island, Yorke Peninsula, and Fleurieu Peninsula, affecting tourism. The toxic algae bloom stretches across 1,700 square miles.
California recently suffered a toxic algae bloom which killed thousands of sea creatures which you read about here in a previous post. Pollution, plastics, and global warming are destroying our oceans.

Alleged Forgery Stifles Trumpf-Kushner Hotel Development in Serbia
(Photo: Andrej Isakovic / Agence France-Presse / Getty Images)
In Serbia, the prospect that the historic complex would be demolished and replaced with a luxury hotel benefiting Dotard Trumpf has spurred outrage. Several protests have been held in Belgrade opposing the demolition of the site. “This was all to make room for the Trumpfs,” complained Dragan Jonic angrily, a lawmaker who led protests against the project.
“The Trumpf family’s $500 million luxury hotel project in Serbia, slated to be built on the site of a bombed-out Defense Ministry building, has run into an embarrassing complication. A key document the Serbian government has relied on to deliver this deal was forged, officials reported. The leader of the Serbian agency charged with protecting cultural monuments admitted to the authorities that he had forged a government document allowing the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense headquarters in Belgrade to be demolished and replaced with the Trumpf hotel.”

Argentina: Treasure Trove of Third Reich Information Found

Argentine Supreme Court officials uncovered hundreds of long-forgotten Nazi documents, membership cards, and propaganda materials in the court’s archives. Staff had discovered these confiscated 84 year old documents while relocating materials to a museum.
A few weeks earlier, the Argentine government released nearly 1,850 de-classified documents that show how Nazi fugitives escaped to the country after World War II and made them available to the public.
Both the archived materials and the declassified documents will shed light on the Nazis’ global financial networks and activities during World War II, as well as the financing of their escape routes to South America via so-called “rat lines” after the war.
