Israeli Ministers Say Israel Isn’t Bound by US-Iran Deal, Won’t Withdraw From Lebanon
Iran reaffirmed that any deal with the US hinges on an end to Israel’s war in Lebanon
By Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com
In the wake of the US and Iran announcing a Memorandum of Understanding to end the conflict between the two nations that includes a ceasefire in Lebanon, Israeli ministers have said Israel isn’t bound by the agreement.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed that the IDF will not withdraw from its so-called “security zones” in southern Lebanon, which include a major swathe of Lebanese territory, and will also continue the occupation in southwest Syria and Gaza.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are leading a clear policy that determines that the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, without any time limit, to protect, from there, the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements,” Katz said.
The Army bought 10,000 IVAS headsets. Soldiers won’t use them.
Soldiers said the headsets caused neck strains and headaches during use in the field. The Army spent close to $2 billion on the systems, which will be put in storage.
Etienne Note: Another $2B wasted on weapons we don’t need for wars based on lies and manufactured evidence.

The Army spent over a billion dollars on nearly 10,000 augmented-reality headsets for soldiers to wear in combat. A federal watchdog reported this week that they won’t end up being used.
The Government Accountability Office looked at programs across the Department of Defense that “exceeded cost estimates and delivery schedules — wasting billions of dollars and decades of time,” according to a report released Tuesday. One of the programs highlighted in the report is the Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System, or IVAS headset program.
The Cause Behind ‘Ozempic Face’ and What You Can Do About It
Fast weight loss often feels like a success — until you look in the mirror and realize something else has changed.
By Dr. Joseph Mercola, Mercola
Fast weight loss often feels like a success — until you look in the mirror and realize something else has changed. Many people using drugs like Ozempic to drop weight quickly are noticing their faces look older, thinner, and more tired. The cheeks that once gave definition start to hollow, skin loses its firmness, and wrinkles seem to deepen overnight.
What’s happening isn’t just surface-level. When fat disappears too quickly, your skin loses the very structure that keeps it supported, while your metabolism strains to adapt to the sudden energy drop. This combination leaves you not only depleted but visibly aged. The trend has become so widespread that experts have given it a name — “Ozempic face.”
Gun Safety: Violent Crime Drops as More Americans Pack Heat

Alessandra Coote was walking on a trail with her 2-year-old daughter and dog two-and-a-half years ago when a man began yelling at her and threatened to kill her dog. When the petite single mom made it back to her Utah home, she decided she needed a firearm for protection.
A few months later, while living in what she described as a “shady part of town,” a homeless man threatened her. After that encounter, she began regularly carrying a firearm under Utah’s Constitutional Carry law.
Irreversible: The Rise of Sex Change from Fringe Subculture to Multibillion-Dollar Industry
When I interviewed Patrick Hahn in April of 2024, I already knew the shape of his work.
By Patrick D Hahn, Lies are Unbecoming
When I interviewed Patrick Hahn in April of 2024, I already knew the shape of his work. Across four books in four years — on psychiatric genetics, antidepressants, the ADHD industry, and the COVID shots — he had built a method I had come to trust: go back to the primary literature, follow the money, and refuse to mistake institutional consensus for evidence. He is a biologist and a university teacher by training, not a physician, and he has always been candid that his outsider’s vantage is the point. He reads the studies the experts cite and notices what those studies actually say, as opposed to what we are told they say. Irreversible is the latest and boldest application of that method, and it is, I think, his most important book.
