The first rule of fishing is fish where the fish are;
The chief oversight body responsible for tracking U.S. foreign assistance says United Nations agencies are stonewalling a probe into their ties to Hamas. The agencies have failed to provide investigators with information that could identify their employees as affiliates of the terror group, according to a non-public report transmitted to Congress and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Lydia Mugambe, a Ugandan lawyer who served as a High Court Judge in Uganda beginning in 2013 and as a Judge of the UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), the successor body to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, since May 2023, was convicted on 13 March 2025 at Oxford Crown Court on four counts: conspiracy to facilitate a breach of UK immigration law, arranging travel with a view to exploitation, requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labor, and conspiracy to intimidate a witness.
She was also a fellow at Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights in 2017. She was studying for a doctorate in law at Oxford University at the time of the offences.
Mugambe had met the victim in Uganda when the victim was 19 years old and employed her there as a nanny and maid.
One wallet snaps shut and the whole deck collapses?
The United Nations is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees, the body’s head has warned.
He wrote in a letter to all 193 member states that they had to honour their mandatory payments or overhaul the organisation’s financial rules to avoid collapse.
It comes after the UN’s largest contributor, the US, refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets, and withdrew from several agencies it called a “waste of taxpayer dollars”. Several other members are in arrears or are simply refusing to pay.[…]
At its headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have been put up everywhere. In an almost desperate attempt to save cash, the escalators are regularly turned off and the heating turned down.
Three days from now, the UN Security Council presidency will be assumed by… Somalia.
Taking out Hamas’ million-dollar ‘root’ tunnel: The Israeli military claims the tunnel originated beneath a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) compound and stretched beneath civilian sites.

TRAGIC: Francesca Albanese, the UN’s de facto spokesperson for Hamas, says she can no longer use a credit card, rent a car, or open a bank account, due to the historic U.S. decision to sanction her.
I can’t share the details on how @michaelgwaltz & @SecRubio have, in just a few days, organized the greatest opposition to UN policy since the Cold War and blocked this UN Carbon Tax.
I can say it was a knife fight to the end.
“I’ve been in this industry for 30 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” one shipping executive told me today. “You just don’t say NO to these guys. It’s unheard of.”
It’s unclear who “these guys” are, but I suspect the European families with shipping investments and net wealth that far exceeds Elon’s.
Absolutely none of the maritime experts I interviewed early this week thought the US could pull this off. Zero. Massive amounts of money, NGO influence, diplomatic threat and media manipulation were behind this… and the American media (except @gCaptain and Fox News) was dead silent.
And yet Trump did it.
“That Trump Truth Social post sent shockwaves through the building,” one UN delegate in London told me. “NOBODY expected it. The Secretary General @IMOSecGen looked like a deer in the headlights this morning.”
Incredible. Simply incredible work by team Trump and a massive blow to the European deep state who planned to use this tax as a slush fund to plug holes in US Aid funding for globalist NGOs.
Promises made. Promises kept!

It’s just who we are as Canadians;
Trudeau needed this anti-Israel box ticked to burnish his credentials on the resumé he is building for his post-election career ensconced in some sinecure at the UN. He has no hope for any job with prestige attached in the private sector. Do not think you can shame this man on this file. He doesn’t care about Canada’s image, only his own skin and future. No matter how bad antisemitism gets here, you will see no sliver of daylight between Trudeau and the corrupt, anti-Israel ICC or any other UN entity between now and his election loss.
We are ashamed that Canada would align itself with such a politicized decision.
By doing so, Canada undermines international law, strains its alliance with the U.S., and harms its relationship with Israel. This decision erodes Canada’s role as a principled advocate for fairness… pic.twitter.com/2hUm2vDKFu

Who looted the 98 trucks in Gaza?
Headlines from the future.

But amidst that ubiquitous reports of the elimination of Yahya Sinwar—the extraordinarily evil man most responsible for thousands of deaths on Israeli and Palestinian sides — is highly disturbing information on who were his bodyguards. This just appeared on Ynet.
“To confirm Sinwar’s identity, soldiers photographed the body and sent the images to the Israeli police’s forensic unit. Assistant Commissioner Aliza Raziel, head of the unit, confirmed that the teeth in the photos matched Sinwar’s dental records from his time in Israeli custody.“We had Sinwar’s dental data on file, and the match was clear,” Raziel said. “This was one of the most significant moments this year, allowing us to quickly provide critical information to the field.”
Further evidence suggesting Sinwar’s death included the presence of a senior Hamas commander known to frequently accompany him. Reports from Gaza indicated the other two terrorists killed were Sinwar’s bodyguards, one of whom worked as a teacher for UNRWA and the other a high-ranking official in Hamas’ National Security Office.”
Repeat: One of Sinwar’s bodyguards worked as a teacher for UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency).
On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly showed us all, for the umpteenth time, what a sewer it is. This time, as is often the case, it’s Israel that finds itself the target of the bloated grifting bullies, I mean diplomats. An insane resolution that in effect denies Israel its right to self defense passed overwhelmingly (124 – 14, with 43 abstentions). The resolution calls on the IDF to withdraw to pre-1967 borders within 12 months, and also calls on member states not to sell arms or military equipment to Israel that would be used in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem. It calls for a boycott of all Israeli products produced over the pre-1967 lines.
For any masochists out there, here’s a copy of their diligent taxpayer funded work.
Yes, we are.
Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack that reached central Israel for the first time on Sunday, saying the group employed a “new hypersonic ballistic missile” in a “specific military operation” targeting the Tel Aviv area, in a statement from the group’s military spokesperson.
The Iranian proxy falsely added that Israel had failed to intercept the missile. While the IDF’s Arrow system failed to bring the missile down before entering Israeli airspace, it did ultimately intercept it.
“It crossed a distance of 2,040 km in 11 and a half minutes and caused a state of fear and panic among the Zionists, as more than two million Zionists headed to shelters for the first time in the history of the Israeli enemy,” the military spokesperson added.
Related: The IDF has released footage of the UNWRA headquarters. In a shock to no one, the headquarters is filled with weapons.
U.S.-Built Pier in Gaza an Epic Failure: Incredibly, the UN didn’t think about securing the aid trucks until after the aid had been stolen.
Hamas can’t or won’t produce water, electricity, food, jobs, or prosperity, but the terrorist organization is adept at producing bullshit statistics and contorted logic for antisemitic, gullible, and/or servile Westerners. In fact, Hamas propagandists aren’t very competent with statistical science, but the United Nations has always been happy to validate the output and share it with earth’s least discriminating audience.
Sometimes, however, the burden of complicity becomes a bit much, so on May 8, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) acknowledged without adornment, apology, or explanation that their casualty statistics since October 7 have been grossly exaggerated.
James Lindsay: Something really sinister is going on there.
The United Nations is a religious organization, and the religion behind it is a cult. More specifically, it is a theosophical cult based on an “evolutionary” vision for mankind that it wants to control. This fact is revealed in a strange book by late UN big-wig and creator of the World Core Curriculum (Common Core in the United States), Robert Muller, from about 25 years ago titled 2000 Ideas for a Better World, which he published in four volumes in the lead-up to the year 2000 (links below). Muller delivered this book and a summary of the key spiritual points to the UN Secretary-General in March of 1999 in advance of the Millennium Assembly with the hope that it would guide UN global policy and global spirituality in the 21st century and third millennium. He then went on to publish five thousand more ideas. The book is shocking in its contents…
