Israel Attacks Yemen’s Hodeidah Port, Houthi Interior Ministry Reports
Later Tuesday, however, the Houthis retaliated by firing a ballistic missile at central Israel. The alarms sounded and sent over a million Israelis to shelters. Ben Gurion Airport also temporarily halted all flights over the threat, though the missile itself was intercepted…
..With the airport in Sanaa already effectively destroyed, the Houthis are virtually exclusively reliant on ports for importing food. Hodeidah has been under repeated target by Israel in that regard as well, with food and other aid often destroyed in the process.
Hodeidah port is the source of roughly 80% of Yemen’s food imports. Yemen has limited agriculture, as only about 3% of the land is arable. This has long made them heavily reliant on imports from abroad. https://news.antiwar.com/2025/05/13/israel-attacks-yemens-hodeidah-port-houthi-interior-ministry-reports/ Yemen’s missile landed in vicinity of Tel Aviv airport
The Israeli military claimed that the missile fired from Yemen was intercepted near the airport...
..Ynet reported the missile sent over a million Israelis to bomb shelters and Ben Gurion Airport temporarily halted all departures and arrivals.
The videos online showed that the air defense failed to intercept the missile. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/231785/Yemen-s-ballistic-missile-reaches-Tel-Aviv-airport Trump Torches Neocons & Interventionists, Emphasizes ‘Peace Through Strength’ Deal-Making In Major Saudi Speech
The stock market is “gonna go a lot higher.” He said “People should have listened. We’ve never had anything like this,” and he cited the “explosion of investment and jobs.” Business executives “weren’t that happy when they saw me,” a month ago, but changed their tune as markets rose,” Trump added.
“We are rocking: The United States is the hottest country, with the exception of your country,” Trump said, pointing to MbS in the front row before him…
..Silence befell the crowd as Trump said that it was his “fervent wish” that Saudi Arabia “will soon be joining the Abraham Accords” – but he ultimately conceded that the kingdom will do it in “it’s own time”...
..”In the case of Iran, I have never believed in having permanent enemies. I am different than a lot of people think. I don’t like permanent enemies. Sometimes you need enemies to do the job, and you have to do it right. Enemies get you motivated,” Trump said. He continued, “I want to make a deal with Iran. I can make a deal with Iran. I’ll be very happy if we’re going to make your region and the world a safer place.” He offered a “much brighter future” if Tehran will do a deal… ..”Syria, they’ve had their share of travesty, war, killing in many years. That’s why my administration has already taken the first steps toward restoring normal relations between the United States and Syria for the first time in more than a decade,” Trump said.
“The sanctions were brutal and crippling and served as an important — really an important function — nevertheless, at the time. But now it’s their time to shine,” he added. So I say, ‘Good luck, Syria.’ Show us something very special.”…

Blasted NeoCons & Liberal Interventionists
“In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built—and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies they did not understand,” Trump said.
“The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neo-cons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad.”
“In Syria, which has seen so much misery and death, there is a new government that we must all hope will succeed in stabilizing the country and keeping peace.”
“The people of Gaza deserve a much better future,” Trump said. “But that will or cannot occur as long as their leaders choose to kidnap, torture and target innocent men, women and children for political ends.”
Trump also proclaimed that he ordered the cessation of US-Houthi hostilities in the Red Sea, after the Pentagon flexed its military might. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-trumps-lavish-welcome-saudi-arabia-mbs-breaks-protocol-greets-him-plane I thought MBS just replaced Bibi: Netanyahu sends delegation to Qatar for prisoner exchange talks, claims Trump ties ‘excellent’

‘Biggest Untold Story in Tech’: Explosive Book Reveals How Apple Sold Out America To China
I think this is like the biggest untold story in tech over the last 25 years. And like, my jaw was on the floor as I talked to 200 people and sort of unraveled it all. But I mean, some of the numbers— anytime you’re dealing with Apple, the numbers are just crazy. And so the two numbers that really stick out at me are that the number of people they have trained in China since 2008 is 28 million,” the Apple in China authored continued.”
“That’s larger than the labor force of California. And the investments they were making in China by 2015 were $55 billion a year. And that’s such a large number that I couldn’t find any corporate equivalent,” he added. “I had to go to nation-building efforts, and I took the Marshall Plan, the most famous nation-building effort ever, converted it to 2015 dollars, and you realize that Apple’s investing in China twice that of the annual spend of the Marshall Plan. And the Marshall Plan was for 16 countries.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biggest-untold-story-tech-explosive-book-reveals-how-apple-sold-out-america-china Trade Truce Set To Ignite “Red Hot” Front-Running Of Chinese Exports To US

Gilbert Doctorow, with transcript, ‘Judging Freedom,’ 14 May edition: EU Nonsense on Ukraine!
We are all in waiting mode, expecting news on whether Trump is indeed going to be in Istanbul for peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The latest word from the White House is that he may be there. In that case, and only in that case, Vladimir Putin will also come to Istanbul. Zelensky has already said he will be in Istanbul regardless of who will be present from the other side.
In the meantime, my reading of the situation as I explained in this chat with Judge Napolitano is that Trump’s unconventional approach to mediation gives us no confidence of success. He is sending to the talks his two envoys who hold directly contradictory positions on the preferred outcome: Steve Witkoff, who is favorable to the Russians’ solution and General Kellogg, who is promoting the joint Ukrainian/European solution. How this can be resolved is utterly unclear…
..Russia has done what Donald Trump would love to do– and I think this may explain his particular admiration for Putin and for Russia in general– they’ve reindustrialized. Western Europe is deindustrializing, they’re losing their industry, Germany at the head of line for leaving manufacturing without any real replacement. England did this maybe 10, 20 years ago when they turned into a service economy. Europe doesn’t have it. The United States has deindustrialized for the last 20, 30 years…
..One factor that’s mentioned in passing is that nobody wants to buy Treasury notes. So it is possible that part of what we’re seeing is a diversion of Saudi and other Gulf-state holdings, asset holdings, in the States. Not necessarily an increase in their holdings, but a diversion away from treasury notes to solid assets… ..I think it’s a wonderful step forward. Mr. Trump … he monopolizes global news. There’s no question about it. I’m sure that he personally takes great pride in that and pleasure in that. But whatever he thinks about it, whatever his personality quirks are, are irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that he’s making news, and this is important news, and very positive news as you’re suggesting. The follow-up and the real acid test of his intentions would be if the next step is to remove American soldiers who are supervising, facilitating the draining of Syria’s natural assets, that is to say, in the eastern province where the Americans are situated, ostensibly to prevent terrorism returning, but in fact supervising the expropriation of the most valuable asset, production asset of Syria, its oil.
So if he removes those forces from the east of Syria and allows the Syrian government to reap the benefits of its own mineral wealth, that will be an enormous benefit to Syria, quite apart from whatever foreign aid the country now gets. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/05/14/transcript-of-judging-freedom-14-may-edition/ John Helmer, “IT SAYS, DID YOU GET MY MESSAGE?” – CEASEFORCE AT ISTANBUL-II, NOT CEASEFIRE When politicians fight wars to truce or ceasefire, there’s a mistake they often make. That is to give up escalation dominance, escalation control, to the adversary so that he gains confidence that when he is ready, he will resume fighting in a much stronger position than he was at the truce. In short, ceasefire doesn’t deter the resumption of fighting; it doesn’t make for ceaseforce.
As President Vladimir Putin prepares for Istanbul-II — the resumption of negotiations with the Ukraine proposed for May 15 — he has announced that he understands the difference better now than he did at Istanbul-I in March 2022. The Russian General Staff and the intelligence services believe so.
The aim of “serious negotiations”, Putin read from a statement, “is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and to achieve a long-term last peace…in the course of these negotiations it will become possible to agree on some kind of new truce and a new ceasefire. And a real ceasefire that…would be the first step, I repeat, towards a long-term, sustainable peace, rather than a prelude to continuing armed conflict after the Ukrainian armed forces have been rearmed, re-equipped…Who needs such peace?” https://johnhelmer.net/it-says-did-you-get-my-message-ceaseforce-at-istanbul-ii-not-ceasefire/#more-91575Vlad, Don’t; It’s a TRAP! ‘Hey, Comrade Putin, Just Go’: Brazil’s Lula Presses Russian President On Istanbul Talks https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hey-comrade-putin-just-go-brazils-lula-presses-russian-president-istanbul-talks

The names of the officials representing Moscow will be announced in due time, Dmitry Peskov has said
Kiev earlier stated that the only official Zelensky would talk to is Putin. The Russian president has so far made no indication that he is planning to travel to Istanbul…
..Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that, during potential talks, Moscow wants to discuss “a sustainable settlement of the situation, first of all, by addressing the very roots of this conflict, resolving issues related to the denazification of the Kiev regime, ensuring recognition of the realities that have developed recently, including the entry of new territories into Russia.” https://swentr.site/russia/617508-russia-ukraine-meeting-istanbul/US Fast-Tracking Uranium Mine Permit To Meet “Urgent Energy Demands” https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/us-fast-tracking-uranium-mine-permit-meet-urgent-energy-demands

Jim Kunstler, MAHA Hugger Mugger
One baseline truth in current American life is that our bodily well-being gets worse as the so-called health care industry gets ever-larger — it is now 17.6-percent of the economy (GDP). This is clearly the basis of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign that attached itself to the Trump 2.0 program. You hear almost no arguments against MAHA itself, even from the Party of Hustles and Hoaxes, but plenty of calumny and objurgation against MAHA’s chief advocate, Robert Kennedy, Jr…
..There is also chatter that RFK, Jr., is “managed” by hidden persons or forces. One not-so-hidden character in that psychodrama is Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Sen. Cassidy, a medical doctor, chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee that ran Mr. Kennedy over-the-coals in his confirmation hearing. Political pressure caused Sen. Cassidy to cave and vote “yes” for RFK, Jr., then. Louisiana has since changed its election rules so that Democrats can no longer vote in the GOP primary, and Cassidy is vulnerable. His base is restless. He voted to impeach Mr. Trump in January 2021 over the Capitol J-6 riot.
So, the chatter says that Mr. Kennedy made a deal with Sen. Cassidy to avoid taking certain actions — like, anything that might hurt Pharma and its profit-stream — or else Mr. Kennedy would be dragged back in front of the HELP Committee and raked over the coals again. If that were to happen, I suspect Mr. Kennedy would handle himself very capably in any public hearing. He has always been in command of the facts. As head of HHS, he has had access to a deep trove of information that he had no access to previously. He must know by now exactly what sort of mischief has been perpetrated in US public health over the decades and will not be shy about disclosing it publicly. You should also not be surprised if Mr. Kennedy begins issuing criminal referrals before much longer.

Leading Japanese experts are now calling for an urgent reassessment of worldwide vaccination programs. The warning comes after the nation’s top scientists linked a recent surge in child deaths to “vaccines.” The findings are detailed in a bombshell study published in the Springer Nature peer-reviewed journal Discover Medicine. The scientists behind the study are raising the alarm over the issue after connecting several child deaths to “vaccinations.” https://x.com/Censored4sure/status/1921611973927842032

Yes, thanks, you literally just proved and supported my point, thanks.
Yeah, sure, so one Jew presenter thinks the military should not be used because of the hostages, but he still supports the murder of women and children over the past decades. So your point is that all Jews are supporting the genocide, but only some support it when Hamas is holding hostages. Wow, thanks, you just proved my point.
