Celia Farber (We'll see if they do or don't): Israel Says It Will Open Aid Corridors To Gaza As International Outcry Escalates; Israel Drops 7 Aid Packages, Deemed Dangerous Because Of Panic On The Ground To Get To Them
No Longer "Anti-Semitic" To Be "Appalled;" This Is The Word They Are Now Using, About The "Images" Coming Out Of Gaza. Appalled Enough To Stop Weapons Sales? US, Germany, Top Exporters https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/israel-says-it-will-open-aid-corridorsTHAAD is a hit-to-kill, or kinetic kill, interceptor that does not use explosives. It has an operational ceiling of around 92 miles, so it is not capable of exoatmospheric intercepts (310 to 620 miles). Israel’s high altitude interceptor, Arrow 3, is said to be capable of intercepts in the exoatmosphere.
According to the JINSA report, in the June conflict THAAD intercepted 47.7 percent of all the missiles fired at Israel, an unexpectedly high proportion. In doing so, the US expended at least 14% of its total THAAD interceptor stockpile. JINSA says it will take Lockheed, which manufactures the THAAD interceptors, around eight years to replenish the US stockpile, assuming the rate of production is not significantly increased.
Take Note: We only know the number of Iranian missiles shot down by THAAD (92). We do not know how many THAAD interceptors were launched to shoot down the Iranian missiles. The 14% figure represents the claimed kills, not the actual number fired. Thus the remaining inventory of THAAD interceptors may be smaller than stated in the report.
There are a couple of important caveats. The first is that the US is supplying other countries with THAAD systems. Saudi Arabia has a THAAD system delivered from the United States and 50 interceptors. However, it has ordered 360 interceptors, which will take years to manufacture. https://asiatimes.com/2025/07/us-and-its-allies-unprepared-to-repel-saturation-missile-attacks/

Rachel Marsden, ‘Russian disinfo’ slayers try very hard to pin Queen Ursula’s no-confidence vote on Moscow
Apparently, trying to hold Ursula von der Leyen accountable is now a Russian op, reports Der Spiegel, citing a new NATO-linked think tank report.
The study treats elected oversight and European lawmakers whose job, ideally, involves more than clapping like trained seals every time an unelected Eurocrat lights public money on fire, like elements of some kind of Russian infiltration plot.
“Massive support for this effort was also found by pro-Kremlin media outlets, bloggers, and online influencers, as the Lithuania-based organization Debunk.org specializes in analyzing disinformation and Russian propaganda, which is seen as part of Russia’s hybrid warfare against the EU,” Spiegel wrote, describing Russian-linked media “fueling” a recent von der Leyen non-confidence vote in the EU Parliament. “Among the larger portals were those of the Russian propaganda channel RT…” https://www.rt.com/news/622003-kremlin-hates-von-der-leyen/

John Helmer, ZUGZWANG IN ZANGEZUR – IN THIS CAUCASIAN GAME ARMENIA HAS DEFEATED ITSELF, TRUMP CLAIMS ANOTHER PEACE PRIZE
..Zangezur, an Armenian word Զանգեզուր with geographical and historical meaning for a mountainous region of southeastern Armenia (lead image, right), has been Armenian, Mongol, Turkic, Ottoman, Persian, and Russian over a very long past of sheep herding and fighting. Today it refers to a lowland transportation route for road and railway moving cargoes from east to west, north and south, and vice versa — the Zangezur Corridor. Operation of this route and control of it by force of arms pit the strategic interests of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Russia, China, United States, US, France, India, and others, against each other in several shifting combinations.
If the powers strategize these combinations to benefit their interests at the expense of the others, the only one in the zugzwang is Armenia and its current prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, who has put himself there. https://johnhelmer.net/zugzwang-in-zangezur-in-this-caucasian-game-armenia-has-defeated-itself-trump-claims-another-peace-prize/#more-92164

Heh, heh, heh ... Yves Smith Will Voters Turn to Corbyn and Socialism over Starmer’s Big Finance Love-In?
Early UK voter reactions indicate that Corbyn will be a force to be reckoned with, as in even if he does not become PM, he could come to command a big enough block of seats so as to lead a coalition essential to forming a government and hence influence policy. From Council Estate Media in New Corbyn party already bigger than Tories and Reform as 250,000 sign up in one day. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/07/will-voters-turn-to-corbyn-and-socialism-over-starmers-big-finance-love-in.html
The launch of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's party has been met with praise, receiving over 250,000 membership requests amid confusion over the party's name.
The number of signups for the new party, which initial reports stated would be called "Your Party", appears to rival the 309,000 registered members of the ruling Labour Party and right-wing Reform UK's 227,592.
"We are witnessing something special. 250,000 people don't sign up overnight for no reason. They have signed up to join a people-powered movement for change," Jeremy Corbyn told The New Arab. https://www.newarab.com/news/jeremy-corbyns-new-party-receives-over-250000-signatures

Michael Hudson: Church and Finance – From the Crusades to World War I
Before I could spend time in saying, "how did a banking class emerge", I had to explain what the Roman churches strategy was in creating a system of control over other realms, how it organized the Crusades, and how the Crusades worked primarily against the Holy Land at all. They were against other Christian countries. Especially against Germany that wanted to be independent, with the king appointing his own bishops, it was against the Cathars and the Albigensian Crusade. Or the song Dominica, Dominica. The Dominican Inquisition are basically tried to destroy Southeastern France on behalf of the northern Normans. And I had to go way back not only to the spirit of uniquely Roman intolerance of other religions, such as the Northern Germanic religions centuries earlier. How the Church asserted its authority over kings and what led to all of this I had to write 2 chapters on how the reformers in the church came beginning in the 11th century to take Rome and the papacy, which was a backwater controlled by local aristocracies from the Roman suburb of Tusculum. The Catholic history refers to it as the pornocracy, the rule by the harlots of utter corruption.
Well. In response to this. The reformers, mainly from Germany, by King Otto and his successors, said if we’re if we’re going to reform the Christian Church and make it Christian instead of just an owned by particular families for their own economic benefit. To provide security, we must basically exclude all the secular control over the papacy, we have to exclude loyalty. We have to insist that the papacy does not become hereditary by these families, just passing it on to their relatives or their supporters that requires celebracy. Which is something that you don’t find in the rest of Christianity. Essentially the reformers were idealists and by an idealist they ended up insisting on total control over all Christianity and there were five patriarchates in the 10th century. The largest was Constantinople, but the others were all in the Middle East. There were the Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Rome. Roman Papacy set out to say we’ve got to dominate these countries, and we’ve got to dominate secular society so that we can impose church rule, Christian rule on all of the kings.
To do that, we have to control the appointment of bishops. We have to take the power of local kings in Germany and anywhere else in our own hands, so that we appoint the bishops who are in charge of collecting taxes and what they do with it and sending the money to Rome.
And so, the whole organization of Christian reform in Rome took the form not only of an antagonism towards all seculars realms and all the other patriarchs of the church. But it was basically financial in nature. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/07/michael-hudson-church-and-finance-from-the-crusades-to-world-war-i.html
